"A teacher should learn all the time; a teacher should share all the time. Education is a big challenge now – if we do not change the way we teach thirty years later we will be in trouble.

-Pre-heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil, onion and chicken, cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
-In the meantime, place the oil, basil, hemp, garlic, lemon juice, and salt into a blender. Blend for 30 seconds or just until incorporated (or more, if you like a more blended pesto). Be sure to scrape down the blender sides.

Therefore, replacement windows insulate your house from extremes of both cold and hot. And at the same time decrease your house's energy costs and change its decoration.

Essentially, there are four common types of replacement windows: replacement windows add light and style to your house; skylights lighten up the room and add an intriguing design element; sliding doors are another type of replacement windows; and the slider helps you minimize energy, especially in summer, due to the fact that you can leave the screened portion open.
Before you purchase replacement windows, you require to choose how you desire them to open. Again you have various choices, such as:casement windows with vertical hinges that swing in or out by winding a manage; double or single hung types made of 2 cases that move up and down;moving windows that move horizontally; and plain fixed kind windows that do not open at all, however let the light been available in.
You also have to see how your replacement windows have been fabricated to make sure they match with the architecture of your home and provide maximum insulation. You can now pick from some recent production developments like vinyl and fiberglass that are highly insulating.
Vinyl windows are a popular and affordable alternative to aluminum, wood, and fiberglass, because they are energy effective, simple to install, and uncomplicated to preserve. Made from a plastic called polyvinyl chloride, or PVC they provide an outstanding degree of insulation. They require almost no maintenance since their durable surfaces are already stained, finished, and sealed. The exterior casing of vinyl windows does not fade or wear under ultraviolet sunshine, making them even more long lasting than aluminum or wood.
While shopping for replacement windows you can scroll through some of the companies in our directory or if you have a Champion Window in your location they are a great company for window replacement needs.
Replacement windows involve heavy expense, so it is essential you make an informed and positive choice based upon the needs of your home, the kind of windows to be changed, and your budget restrictions.

Facebook's footprint is everywhere on the Web. It seems that every news item, every article, every blog post that we read is accompanied by the inevitable invitation to Share our magical experience with our Facebook friends.
Originally, the invitation to Share was exactly as described: clicking on the Share button would result in a link to the article being posted in your News Feed for all your Facebook friends to see. Facebook later enhanced the Share feature, including the first three or four lines of the article and, if available, a thumbnail picture.
Of course, for third-party Web publishers, the Like button was an instant hit. Who wouldn't want someone to Like what they had written or posted? The Like button spread like wildfire. Today, we can Like almost anything that appears on the Web: articles, photos, videos, songs – the Like button even appears next to every single post on Facebook, encouraging a perpetual feel-good atmosphere of positive reinforcement.
In theory, the Like button and the Share button perform very different roles. For example, as the blog Downloadsquad points out, you might want to Share a story about a government regime firing on unarmed protesters, but you certainly don't want to Like it.
However, as of this week, Facebook has beefed up the Like button on third-party sites so it effectively has the same outcome as the Share button. Instead of a one-line Recent Activity story, clicking on a Like button will now publish a full News Feed story, along with text, a link, and a thumbnail.
Inside Facebook speculates that the change may eventually result in the disappearance of the Share button altogether. However, tech site CNET suggests that some users may now be more reluctant to click the Like button if it results in more clutter on their News Feed and a prominent endorsement that they never intended.
Nothing is likely to slow down Facebook's penetration of the Web, but if Share does disappear, then maybe this is a perfect time for Facebook to introduce that much-needed 'Dislike' button!


No line copic colouring! First time!
I have a special card to share with you. I played with Penny Black's new release stamp set today and attempted no line copic colouring for the first time. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Here is the card.
I stamped this cute image of the boy kicking the soccer ball from Way Cool stamp set from the new release Penny Black using second generation Flannel Gray memento ink. Then coloured with copic markers. Because the stamped image is second generation grey, the outline is so light that it blends with the colours. I have used copic fineliner to highlight some areas like the facial features, the ball, boots, lace etc. Here is a closeup!
This is a one layer card. I liked it as it is and so I did not add any pattern papers or embellishment to the card. Not bad for the first time attempting no line copic colouring huh!
This is the Way Cool stamp set from Penny Black I have used on my card.
This is a technique that I struggle with, but you've nailed it here Gayatri.
Now I'm convinced you can do anything. If this is your first attempt at no-line watercolor you obviously don't need any more practice. Wow!
OMG! This is fabulous! It inspires me to give it a try!
I think no-line coloring likes you!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness! This is terrific!

With the theme 'Building a Competitive Workforce for the Digital Economy', the annual ICDL Asia Digital Literacy Day 2018 took place on 6 September 2018, at the C asean Auditorium in Bangkok, Thailand. The event was graced by His Excellency Air Chief Marshal Doctor Prachin Chantong, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand and Minster of Justice, His Excellency Tony Cotter, Ambassador Designate of Ireland to Thailand, Mr Damien O'Sullivan, CEO of ICDL Foundation, and many other distinguished guest speakers internationally and from Thailand.
Almost 300 guests attended the event, which aims to create greater awareness of digital literacy, while discussing prevalent topics around the progressive digital trends and readiness in Asia.
H.E. Air Chief Mar. Dr. Prachin Chantong presented his keynote speech on the importance of digital skills for local Thai people and how this topic is highly relevant in this age of the innovation-driven economy where technology is widely used.
The government has been strongly supporting human capital development since the announcement of the ambitious national development model called 'Thailand 4.0'. The Thailand 4.0 policy is aimed at developing Thailand into a high-income country. To propel this transformation forward and promote innovation, the policy concentrates on digital improvements that enhance the quality of life and at the same time promote productivity and efficiency. The Thailand Digital Economy and e-Government Development Plan (2016-2018) has been prepared as a blueprint for revolutionising government operations, business practices and people's lifestyles.
Another keynote speech was presented by Chief Executive of ICDL Foundation, Mr Damien O'Sullivan. He spoke about how Asia is preparing to be the strongest driving force for Industry 4.0, which is shaping the automation and data exchange technologies around the world.

Panel To Review Welfare of Whales
September 28, 2011 at 10:08 pm by Alex Colletta
The Associated Students Coastal Fund and Bren School of Environmental Science and Management will host a free educational workshop on the migration and well-being of whales in the Santa Barbara Channel today in Room 1414 of Bren Hall from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The event will include a panel discussion with speakers from the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, the U.S. Navy/AIR Sustainability Office, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District and the Environmental Defense Center. The panel will be followed by a Q&A session as well as a social mixer in the Bren Hall courtyard.
Attendees will learn about the migratory patterns of the Channel's expansive whale population as well as pertinent issues the marine mammals face such as feeding and ship collisions.
Kristi Birney, a marine conservation analyst at the Environmental Defense Center in Santa Barbara, said scientists have identified ship strikes as a primary threat to recovering whale populations.
"We're bringing together a variety of different panelists who've been working on this issue, trying to come up with management strategies and solutions to better protect whales from ship strikes," Birney said. "It's an educational forum; we want people to be aware of the issue and what's being done."
The Santa Barbara Channel contains a variety of whale species including fin whales, grey whales, humpback whales and blue whales and is also host to the Traffic Separation Scheme, a shipping route which sees up to 6,000 to 7,000 vessels per year.
According to Birney, the high volume of shipping traffic resulted in the deaths of four blue whales in 2007 when large container ships struck the endangered mammals.
"In the wake of these deaths, it has gotten the public's attention and people have started to work on strategies that will work to reduce the risk of collisions between whales and ships," Birney said.
Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District representative Brian Shafritz, who will speak at today's workshop, said he wants students to gain a sense of awareness and knowledge about local marine issues from the event.
"I hope that students acquire knowledge of the significance of air quality impacts from marine shipping in the Santa Barbara Channel as well as strategies to minimize those impacts," Shafritz said.
Fourth-year environmental studies and political science major Juanita Block said the workshop will present a unique opportunity for students to learn about environmental issues they may not otherwise hear about.
"The workshop will grant environmental awareness for people who are not involved in this area of study," Block said. "Plus, it's free — anyone can attend and learn about this stuff."

Ariana Grande's Wax Figure Is Her, Minus Pretending to Be Black
Ariana Grande is white, and Madame Tussauds London's waxwork is a good reminder.
by Alex Zaragoza
May 28 2019, 8:22pm
Credit: Ian West/PA Images (left); Michael Kovac (right)
Last week, Madame Tussauds London unveiled the latest victim in its ongoing practice of molding creepy, life-size wax dolls of famous people: Ariana Grande.
The wax figure has all the telltale signs of Grande-hood. Oversized sweatshirt? Check. Thigh-high boots? Of course. Signature high pony with ring accessories weaved into her hair? Yup, nailed those. Face? Well... let's just say it's looking more mayonnaise than Old Bay seasoning. It can be easy to forget that Grande has worked overtime to remove all signs of her Caucasian heritage, until you see a version of her with those modifications omitted.
In an almost Sliding Doors-esque manner of what-if juxtaposition, wax figure Ari looks like the younger, paler version of herself before she discovered (and then appropriated) Black culture. That uncanny facsimile gives us a glimpse into an Ariana who could have been. One who had stuck to belting out Céline Dion and Barbara Streisand in the backseat of the car, and had never been introduced to "The Wobble" at a cookout. Because—reminder—Grande is 100 percent white, despite rampant confusion about her race. (Grande herself self-identifies as "half Sicilian and half Abbruzzese," which is Italian-American speak for "white, but with half a tan.")
Grande in 2008 (far left - credit: Joe Corrigan), 2011 (center - credit: Bruce Gilkas), and 2018 (far right - credit" Jim Spellman). Yeah, we see it, too.
Grande's look has, shall we say, evolved over the years. We came to know her as the child star of Nickelodeon's Victorious and Sam & Cat, sporting her natural Brittany Murphy-style curls and then a punky, red ponytail. In those days, her skin was pin-up-girl-level fair. Then, someone must have served Grande some seasoned chicken and picked the raisins out of her potato salad, because homegirl underwent a gradual, Jenner/Kardashian-esque transformation, where she became dramatically more tan; her lips got the Kylie treatment (ahem, "overlined"); and her vocals went less Streisand and more Mariah Carey circa "Breakdown." She started dating rappers and bad boys in hypebeast gear.
The fine craftsmen at Madame Tussauds London have been caught somewhere in between these stages of Grande, seemingly Googling images from 2008 for source material for the face, and 2018 photos for the body and attire. People reports that Madame Tussauds London took to Twitter to ask fans to vote on which version of Grande they should re-create: "Classic Ari," "Sassy Ari," or "Princess Ari." "Classic Ari" won out, but there's a clear disconnect. The body is "Boyfriend" but the face is "Bye Bye Bye." The body A-la-bama, the face is Chat-ta-nooga. The body is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, the face is Iggy Azalea.
Even Ari had to speak up, commenting "I just wanna talk" on Popcrave's Instagram post on the wax figure. I bet she does, considering how concertedly the pop singer has shifted her look and sound to reflect Black culture and coolness, hiring Black songwriters to cement herself as an urban adult artist (which has led to being accused of plagiarism and cultural appropriation by her Black peers).
It's the case with many white performers who've wanted to shed the porcelain, Middle America-friendly pop image that shot them to fame. Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and countless others have turned to emulating Black artists to create an edgier, more sexualized, more adult persona. It's no shock that going "bad boy" or "bad girl" in many cases means appropriating Blackness, when reports show that Black boys and girls are labeled aggressive, sexual, and loud at a very young age.
And while she seems to want to embody what writer Rebecca Walker called Black Cool, no amount of tanning, blaccenting, or twerking in her videos while surrounded by Black backup dancers will change that 23 and Me result. Madame Tussauds London's wax figure of Grande might just be a painful reminder to Grande that she is, indeed, white.

Swedish electronic duo Koop create flowing and romantic music that is so dense and layered it sounds like a full orchestra of session players. But, in fact, they rely solely on samples, a process that often takes months to complete. Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson first began making music together in the mid-1990s after meeting in Uppsala, Sweden. After a move to Stockholm in 1997, the duo released their debut album, Sons Of Koop. In 2002, their second album, Waltz For Koop, catapulted them into the forefront of the "nu-jazz" scene. The group subsequently released Koop Islands in 2007, an album that transported its listeners back to the dinner jazz sound of the 1930s and '40s. Bebop Digital

THE METAVERSE AND ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR
by Sneha Shukla 14/07/2022
The term Metaverse may have become fashionable since last year when the creator of Facebook decided to change the name of the renowned social network; no one imagined this concept had already existed for a few years.
When we say Metaverse, we refer to the existence of virtual worlds were using a reliable trading platform as characters that represent their users coexist and are known as avatars.
These are usually virtual representations of human beings. Still, within a virtual world, you can experience different environments such as playing, walking, going to a concert, working, and even studying.
In its constant updating, education has used virtual worlds that have existed for a long time, such as Second Life, although the adaptation of this new concept to the educational field requires not only preparation by professionals but also by infrastructure and students.
Throughout the world, during and after the pandemic, we had to experience a form of distance education that was an utterly atypical situation full of hits and misses.
In this case, it is assumed that the lack of planning and the unexpectedness of the entire Pandemic situation could not be executed in the desired way; many of the theoretical aspects at the computer level are where the adoption and preparation of the academic world are attracted to this new ecosystem of the Metaverse.
Application of the Metaverse at an educational level
The Metaverse has the versatility to merge with some of the academic topics and concepts and bring them into a virtual environment more appealing than traditional classroom lectures.
It is there where not only the countries' educational system comes into play but also all those paid education systems where many users can have access and thus increase their knowledge.
We have seen how the transmission of academic knowledge to third parties has increased in recent years.
People's academic preparation, since we are in a world of constant change.
Education is the basis of every society; it is where the most elementary aspects of the development of the human being reside in the sciences of humanity.
The proposals are increasing; on the internet, we can find countless tutorials, courses, and even master's degrees using technology and virtual education.
That is why the application of the Metaverse is now when it begins to take effect, developing the curiosity not only of the students but also of the teachers and the entire educational community.
What are the components of the Metaverse?
A series of elements are involved in what refers to the composition of the Metaverse. If it could be described in any way, it would be by referring to certain levels of impact or action, among which are:
● Infrastructure Level: These are the components strictly from the perspective of technology and its functionality, where the elements must be fundamental for the development of the Metaverse, such as advanced technology, connectivity, networks, programs, and applications.
● Human Interrelation Level: refers to the instruments or hardware equipment necessary for people to make the Metaversica experience as natural as possible, such as the use of 3D glasses.
● Decentralization Level: This aspect refers to the ease of entering and leaving the Metaverse environment independently and decentralized.
● Economic Level: this is where the most exciting part for many comes in; technology is monetized through cryptocurrencies, and using these to acquire goods and services within the Metaverse will be the ideal option.
● Level of Knowledge and Experience: it is the fusion between learning and entertainment, where exploring the various virtual worlds offers dynamic experiences such as traveling, doing business, and studying, among many activities.
Ideal Metaverse for e-learning
Virtual learning has recently been characterized by capturing the attention of many young people and adults who want to learn from home, even making it a pretty attractive trend. As a result, a tremendous increase in followers is expected.
If the moment in which the internet came to education caused great fury, now the Metaverse that involves the participants will be much more enjoyable.
The Metaverse adapts perfectly to all those institutions dedicated to e-learning, which could represent a more excellent source of income and a good economy from the academic aspect.
Technology is taking giant steps that benefit society in many ways; knowing how to use these resources since improper use could also have adverse effects.

If you're into that whole unapproved 3rd party iPhone thing, you should open Installer and install RiPDev's Apple Screenshot Enabler. It does what it says and the method of taking screenshots is genius. When you're on the screen you want to capture just hold down the Home button and toggle the Mute switch in either direction once. The picture is an uncompressed TIFF and sent to your Camera Roll. NICE! I tried other screencapture utilities and they'd capture the whole screen except for a several pixel-wide column on the right side. This Apple method gets the whole thing.

There are many requirements when it comes to importing any alcoholic drink into the US. These requirements pertain to the importer as well as the product itself, be it wine, beer or hard liquor. We will go over general concepts and considerations for the importing process in the paragraphs below.
In order to be able to import alcoholic drinks into the US you need a Permit from the Federal Government. To get your Permit you must file an Application For Basic Permit Under The Federal Alcohol Administration Act. The per-requisites for obtaining such a permit is for you to have a staffed office within the United States from which you will conduct your business.
You must also have a contract with a licensed US importer. If not, pending on your specific situation and needs, you must obtain your own importer's permit.
If you plan to wholesale alcoholic products, other than the ones you are importing, you may need a Wholesaler Permit from the Federal Government.
Please note that, pending on the area you wish to conduct business in, a Wholesaler Permit (or License) may be required by your State EVEN IF you are only wholesaling the products you've imported. Call us with the specifics of your case.
As an importer, you are responsible for all Federal excise taxes and duties that are applicable. Taxes for wines, beer and distilled spirits are collected by the CBP. You must be registered with both the CBP and TTB and fill out all pertinent forms before you start your business.
We can help you with taxes as well as licensing. Call us with your specific situation.
Once you have the Permit for importing your alcoholic drink, you must obtain a Certificate of Label Approval (COLA) for each product you are brining into the US. For example: if you are brining Wine X, Wine Y and Wine Z, then you must get 3 COLAs. To obtain the COLAs you must file an application with the TTB. This must be done before bringing in the product.
It is important to note that as part of the COLA process, and depending on the product you are importing, you must obtain a pre-COLA product approval.
As a business owner your time should be spent running your company not dealing with endless paperwork. The importing process can be complicated and sometimes frustrating. Rezzonator Services lets you focus on what matters most, operating your business, by taking care of your importing needs.
Every importing situation is different so please call us to find out how we can make the process much easier and headache free.
In order to import into the United States you'll need different permits and approvals, both on the State and Federal level. In most cases you will need a basic permit for this operation.
The standard way of brining alcohol into the United States is via a container on a cargo ship. Taxes may also be due upon receiving your product in a U.S. port.
We can also help you with the other licenses that are necessary in order to bring in the alcohol.
As always we can help you choose the best course for your business.
If you operate outside the U.S. you must contract an existing importer in the U.S. that is licensed.
For more info on the Wholesaler License please click HERE.
Remember that importing alcohol also involves the transportation to and from the ports of entry. Rezzonator has the necessary logistics to get you up and running fast.


As we hurtle towards Christmas, and more importantly, the premiere of "Twice Upon A Time", the BBC has delivered a snippet of said story featuring one Peter Capaldi, David Bradley and Mark Gatiss trading badinage in Twelve's TARDIS, and it is a delight. Also, Steven Moffat was announced to appear at the biggest Doctor Who convention in North America, Gallifrey One, to the general giddiness of the Three Who Rule. Besides all this news, we also have the second part of Warren's interview with director Rachel Talalay, along with a look at one her stories for our final Second Chances segment with comedian and writer Riley Silverman!
The Whoniverse was on the edge of its seat today, for the announcement of…the second instalment of Fluid Links! But of course we actually mean the historic announcement of the Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to take on the the role and the flag-bearer for Chris Chibnall's new era of Doctor Who, due late next year. What do the Three Who Rule think of the announcement? Listen and find out! And also Fluid Links, we may have mentioned those earlier.
– Jodie Whittaker IS THE DOCTOR!
Lo, the (almost) end has come, and the Three Who Rule have thoughts, feels and comments about "The Doctor Falls," the penultimate episode for both director Rachel Talalay and showrunner/writer Steven Moffat. What did the three scoundrels think of this stew of Masters and Mondasians? More to the point, what's going on with the First Doctor and the upcoming Xmas special? So many questions! Next week, the return of Fluid Links, but only pertaining to Series 10, so no questions about Nimons and Axons!

Bryan Cranston Thinks Donald Trump Could Be Good
Why Bryan Cranston Thinks Donald Trump Could Be a Good Thing
Let's hear him out.
By Matt Miller Published: Nov 1, 2016
Interviews with Bryan Cranston—as these types of things with Hollywood actors rarely do—always reveal some sort of weird insight into his life or mind. The guy has actually had an interesting life and has some truly deep things to say. Remember the time he lost his virginity in Amsterdam's Red Light District? When Cranston talks, we listen, dammit!
During an interview with BBC, Cranston talked at length about America's real-life dystopian villain, Donald Trump.
Bryan Cranston Lost His Virginity in Amsterdam
This Breaking Bad Death Makes Bryan Cranston Cry
"I think the presence of Donald Trump is actually in the long run a good thing," he said. "Because it could be a wakeup call to what could be a disaster."
The interviewer then asks him if he'd ever play Trump:
"Yes. I'm fascinated by Trump because he's a classic tragic Shakespearean character. What's so amazing about Donald Trump is that he's unabashedly a demagogue. He talks about issues and problems and if you listen to that you would think that every thing is horrible. He also doesn't present any solutions."
To further prove his point, Cranston does his own Trump impression, which is actually very good. Maybe someday a long time from now, after Trump loses and the damage he's done to this country is repaired, Cranston will play Trump in a film, win his first Oscar for Best Actor, then look back and realize he was right when he predicted that Trump would do some good for the world after all.

"You don't get any presents when you're playing against the top eight", he added.
But such was the run of Djokovic through the last six months, and following surgery to his elbow in the aftermath of the Australian Open, that he surged from a low of 22 at the French Open to the very top via victories at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Masters titles in Cincinnati and Shanghai. The Nadal-Djokovic matchup, on the other hand, suffers from the fact that there have been very few occasions when they have played each other at their absolute peaks.
Though a exhausted Djokovic fell to young gun Karen Khachanov in the final of the Paris Masters on Sunday, he will once again start as the overwhelming favourite at the Tour Finals. Djokovic is level with Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl with five titles at the tournament - only Federer has the most at seven. Anderson came back from two sets to love down to beat the 20-time Grand Slam champion at Wimbledon in July on his way to the final. With the top eight in the world competing in the season-ending event, it allows no break-in period. The top two in each group progress to the knockout semifinals.
His defeat in Paris was against great rival and world number one Novak Djokovic in what was a stunning, closely-fought match so he will be feeling confident about his game as he kicks off his campaign in London.
The Swiss legend is paired along with the likes of Kevin Anderson, Kei Nishikori and Dominic Thiem while Djokovic is with Alexander Zverev, Marin Cilic and John Isner. "We've always been proud of our ability to bring some of the world's best talent to New Zealand, and having players go on and qualify for the Finals just emphasises that" said Budge. For all his achievements in the sport, the Spaniard has never managed to win the Tour Finals and will be denied the opportunity this time again, despite another stellar season under his belt.
He still however, has four titles to his name this year, with further victories in the Stuttgart and Basel Open.
In fact, the trio of Cilic, Zverev and Thiem collectively won two matches out of nine at the 2017 Finals and crashed out in the round-robin stage.

Donald Trump is visiting the United Kingdom and has given his perspective on its vote to exit the European Union. "You can't unite a country by forcing things down people's throats, and that's what happened here," he said at a press conference in Scotland. The presumptive Republican nominee, who recently admitted to a reporter that he was unfamiliar with the term "Brexit," touched down early Friday in his private jet for the reopening of his Trump Turnberry golf course. Speaking from the club, Trump said: "What's happening is historic… They'll end up being stronger for it." He told reporters earlier in the day: "They took back their country, it's a great thing… people are angry all over the world." He added that worries about "borders" fuelled the U.K. result, and suggested that other nations may follow the U.K.'s lead, saying, "This will not be the last." Ironically enough, every constituency in Scotland voted to remain in the European Union, but the overall national vote was won by the Leave side. He added, "I like David Cameron… He was wrong on this, he didn't get the mood of his country right, but he's a good man. He probably did the right thing [by resigning]."

Vinnie Sunseri an example for Tide's Eddie Jackson
Aaron Suttles Sports Writer
If there's anyone who knows exactly what Eddie Jackson is going through this week it's his former defensive backfield teammate, Vinnie Sunseri.
Less than six months after Sunseri tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, the former University of Alabama safety performed for National Football League scouts on Tuesday morning on campus at Pro Day. He showed no ill effects from the October injury that curtailed his final season with the Crimson Tide.
Jackson, a sophomore cornerback, sustained ligament damage to his knee during Saturday's scrimmage, and Sunseri said Jackson can use his example as proof that it doesn't have to sideline him for long.
"I feel terrible for the guy. I woke up Saturday, texted Ryan Kelly, came out to the scrimmage, watched, saw it happen," Sunseri said. "I just told him that everybody starts at some point. Some people get injured and come back from it.
"I told him Eric Berry tore his ACL, Adrian Peterson has torn his ACL. There's no reason you can't be exactly like them. That's what I told myself. Everybody starts at the same point. It depends on how hard you work to get back to where you're at and to get where you want to be."
By all accounts, Sunseri offered up an impressive performance for the NFL scouts in attendance, running unofficial 40-yard dash times of 4.48 and 4.52, showing strength in his knee during agility drills and bench pressing 225 pounds 21 times. This just five months and 20 days after his injury.
He worked with his older brother, former Pittsburgh quarterback Tino Sunseri, catching passes during agility drills.
"He's been working out with me in Pensacola. We've got a little routine we go through, so it went good," Sunseri said. "I felt awesome. I ran what I wanted to run. I was smooth in my drills like I wanted to be smooth. A lot of good things. It was a good day."
Crediting his doctors, Sunseri said his knee is back to full health.
He said he's received feedback that he could be selected anywhere from the fourth round to the seventh round in May's NFL Draft.
After meeting with UA coach Nick Saban about whether he should enter the draft, Sunseri said it came down to the wire before he decided to leave school.
"The deciding factor was how good my knee felt," he said. "A lot of guys were saying, 'He's coming off knee surgery, I don't know if he'll be able to do a lot of stuff, I don't know if he'll be able to do a pro day.' Well, obviously, I did my pro day. I ran fairly good for a safety. I did all my footwork stuff, I did all my drills, showed I was able to open up, showed that the knee was good, had a little plant and drive."

Yo Will Make You 'Shake It' With New Single!
Post-punk indie single set to hit on June 15th
Currently based in New Orleans – the birthplace of soul and jazz – Yo are a rock band not afraid to go against the grain. After travelling the globe and making homes in various corners of the USA and Europe, the music and songwriting draws upon a wealth of inspirations and tales from the road.
The latest single taken from the album will be the hard hitting, punk laced track 'Shake It' – dripping in punchy bass-lines, quasi-spoken vocals and a distinctly trippy sensibility.
You can hear the track here:
Watch the video here:
'Shake It' as a track represents just one of the many facets and styles that make Yo such an interesting band. Each track is specifically influenced by the place, time and events of its conception, so pinning down a genre is something of a challenge.
The single is taken from the album 'Vagrancy', an LP which demonstrates perfectly the versatile nature of Yo's songwriting. Songs such as 'Shake It' are seemingly built for the high energy of live performance, but other tracks on the album suit different environments. Whether chilling out at a festival, going for it on a club dancefloor, jumping around at a live gig or relaxing in a local pub, there will be a song on this album which fits perfectly to every situation.
Altogether, it makes for a heady cocktail which is tough to pigeonhole, sewn together by the originality of vocalist Andre's delivery.
Single 'Shake It' will be available from June 15th.

Garden Tour April 2019 – The New Season Starts Now!
We started to work in the garden early this year, because our allotment garden is most beautiful in spring. We have lots of early flowering plants and bushes and the whole garden just looks gorgeous at the moment. Furthermore, it feels so good to spend time outside and to work in the sunshine. On my terrace we can also find some produce and I already started to propagate some summer vegetables 🙂 Have fun on the first garden tour of 2019!
Let's start with my biggest garden bed. Last weekend, we spread ripe compost on the two front garden beds and sowed spinach, lamb's lettuce and radishes. In the back beds we sowed different onions, carrots and broad beans. At the end, we watered everything generously and covered it with fleece. That's an easy way to keep the moisture in the ground and the seeds germinate easier.
In the garden bed next to my greenhouse, three different kinds of strawberries moved in last weekend. They are meant to ripen at different times, so I can harvest strawberries over a longer period. As you can see, I mulched them with chaffed branches from our apple trees. We want to use this mulch in our whole garden this year and I'm excited to see how this will influence the soil quality.
The camomile was allowed to seed last year and now the first plants are growing in the middle of all the moss. We are really surprised how well this worked out and I'm already looking forward to having more edible flowers in our garden this year.
The berry bushes are fine, too. On the left side you can see the flower of my new gooseberry, which will move in our garden this weekend. In the middle you can see one of two black currants, I planted last year. The have both survived winter and are already sprouting. On the right side you can see one of many red currant bushes. Those have survived winter as well and all the berry bushes have been mulched in early spring.
Of course, I have projects this year. I started to build a hill bed behind my raised bed. It should be finished by the end of May and host zucchinis and physalis. I'm quite curious how this bed will do. In the greenhouse you can see my latest acquisition. I decided to finally invest in a solid climbing trellis for my cucumbers.
Apart from that our garden captivates due to its bloom at the moment- especially when in bright sunshine. The violets, forsythia, daffodils and lilacbushes are in full bloom and it is humming and buzzing with bees and other small insects all over the garden.
We also have lots of primroses and spring squills in our garden. They have even spread on the meadow, so we try to stay away from mowing as long as possible. The first tulips are also popping up, but they haven't started to flower yet.
In the raised garden bed on my terrace, the remaining kale is waiting to be finally harvested. I think, I'm going to do that during the next few days. My arugula has also survived the cold winter months and already started to sprout- very convenient.
Here you can see my seedlings. On the left, there are different lettuces, various kinds of cabbage and radishes. In the small greenhouse physalis, eggplants, bell peppers and chilis are germinating. This weekend I'm going to sow tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, squash and water melons. Oh, I'm really looking forward to summer!
At the end I have some more flowers for you. These beauties are blooming next to my terrace. Hyacinths are my favorites among the early flowering, because their scent is so intensive. I hope you liked this little tour around my garden.

Restoration Ritual
Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule / Written 2006
The HermAphroditic ChAOrder of the Silver Dusk is a loose global network of occultists aiming to counterbalance, through an emphasis on art and spontaneity, the structured approach to magick of the famed Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Prolific Australian artist, performer and ritualist Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule is the most public face of the network. This essay documents a rite from the Spring Equinox (southern hemisphere) 2005 in which he and his collaborator Giselle Aquila, a trained holistic kinesiologist with extensive experience in natural healing, developed a restorative ritual process based on ancient Egyptian funerary texts.
An elaborate and intense ritual process developed towards the September EquinoXuliuqE of 2005, involving the individual embalming and mummification of initiates after some powerful group work. This ritual grew until its research, development and preparation took over the lives of Giselle and I (the facilitators of the process) in the week leading up to the actual event. During this time we were bombarded with constant synchronicities and omens — small but regular — related to the process.
Giselle had done some rudimentary wrapping (just in single sheets) of people as a part of her professional body-work treatments (kahuna1 massage and kinesiology), and this inspired the process. She felt that some of both the spiritual and accompanying physical practises described in some funerary texts of the ancient Egyptians were not just performed upon the dead, but also upon the living, as rejuvenatory initiations for personal transformation. I was dubious, but after experimenting with these ideas, I do wonder. Whether the Egyptians applied these ideas and techniques to living beings is I guess ultimately unimportant: the significant fact is that they do seem to work applied in this way!
On the full moon preceding the equinox I mummified Giselle; a couple of days later she mummified me. During these rituals we worked out and developed the full procedure, which was then applied with a group on the equinox; it surprised us how easily and naturally it developed. In the meantime we were contacting local (Melbourne, Australia) members of the global HermAphroditic ChAOrder of the Silver Dusk to see who wished to participate, as this was too deep a process for just the usual turn up on the night or not of our more regular circles. We also had material costs so needed commitment from people who knew what was involved.
On the night of the 22nd I did an Ardhanarishvara-An (Hindu hermaphrodite God/dess) ritual performance at the Angel Circus arts collective to celebrate the 5th anniversary of my self-wedding.2 It was apt that the fortnightly event fell on equinox eve, as the equinox peak was early morning of the 23rd here so the outer performance and inner mummification ritual were about Equi-distant from this fulcrum.
People arrived at the Illuminature temple in Monbulk at 3pm on the afternoon of the 23rd. The rite was supposed to begin about an hour after that but preparation of the temple space and materials took considerably longer than anticipated, so people waited around eating and chatting upstairs until dusk while we ripped up linen into sized portions and put the finishing touches on the altars.
After a brief discussion of the ritual so people fully knew what to expect and we wouldn't have to break the flow once the circle was cast, we ritually bathed in the enclosed spa room then descended spiral stairs into the large temple space and began the ritual in the last rays of sunlight.
Initiates had been implored to drink a lot of water, especially before and in the early stages of the ritual, as there was a sauna and other purgative processes involved.
As people arrived in the heavily-decorated temple, frankincense was sizzling and smoking in a censer before the double-headed lion table where I knelt in prayer.
A new circle-casting had been prepared for the ritual, involving the placement of the canopic jars3 we had crafted from clay in the few days previous. They were lidded, as is traditional for ancient Egyptian funerary rites, with the heads of the four sons of Horus. They were placed thus as the pillars of the sky, their father Horus: hawk-headed Khebesenuef (made by Giselle), jackal-headed Duamutef (made by myself), man-headed Imsety (made by Bridgid) and baboon-headed Hapy (made by resident potter Kathleen who also made the canopic jars each of these lids sat upon).
An interesting aside regarding the creation of the jars: when Giselle was mummified on the preceding full moon, we only had astral canopic jars to work with. But while under wraps, whenever she began to think or feel anything, the thoughts would immediately depart like a swarm of bees to the canopic jars which contained her organs. When we then made the physical jars, the best way to craft them was as coil pots (winding long cylinders of rolled clay up in a spiral) — giving them the initial appearance of a hive or honey-pot!
Once the circle was cast we began the group work, starting with the chanting of chakra tones up the octave and our spines. This was more powerful than usual; everyone seemed charged for an intense ritual process.
A couple of breathing exercises had been chosen for both their cathartic and uniting qualities. First the Sufi drum-breath, which had been shown to us by Naiyah on the previous years September EquinoXuliuqE. This was also more powerful than usual, and people began to go into a purgative space, emotionally expressing ourselves in whatever way we saw fit, with movement and sound. After several rounds and intermediary cathartic expression, we proceeded (with resonant chimes to calm the energy and move on) to the next breathing exercise. This was something I'd had explained to me in Italy and was yet to try. It was certainly effective!
We all lay down on our backs in a circle, with our heads central and just enough space between them for use to turn them to the left and right. We began to inhale with our heads all turned to the left, then exhale turning them all to the right. Slowly and deeply at first, then once a rhythm was established and the energy began to flow well around the circle, we gradually sped up, until we were hyperventilating, throwing our heads from one side to the other, and the energy was zooming around the circle with our breath at great velocity. When this peaked, we stopped, went into further catharsis, then reversed the flow from right to left, again beginning slowly and building up to a peak. The idea was to get all our personal baggage out, to purge ourselves emotionally so that when we eventually went into our cocoons during the inner mummification stage of the ritual we would be in an appropriately still and silent space. Thus a balance of inner and outer work was being done to echo the seasonal balance of light and dark on this day and night.
After the second round of circular hyperventilation, people were wailing, screaming, roaring, sobbing, cackling, shrieking… It had been expressed beforehand that catharsis was expected and if something comes up, let it out. People certainly seemed to be taking full advantage of the opportunity!
When things eventually simmered down, we all stood up and began to chant the Egyptian mantra Sa Sekhem Sahu, assuming the Ankh stance (spine straight, legs together, arms out at right angles). This is a powerful and evocative mantra asking the fiery (Kundalini/Shakti) Power (Sekhem) of Sekhmet to come through (Sa), but with Protection (Sahu) so that only the degree the initiate is ready for will be raised. We repeated this mantra for quite some time in the main temple space, then slowly moved like a procession of human ankhs towards the sauna, still chanting. Having emotionally purged, now it was time for the physical purification process. In the sauna we continued the Sekhem chant, rising and falling through different harmonic cadences until it was gradually replaced with more abstract free-form vocal soundscapes.
The facilitators emerged from the steam first, to prepare for the next phase of the ritual. I donned an Anubis costume (lots of neck and wrist jewellery, a golden loincloth and black leather jackal mask from the Choronzon Machine ritual opera4 ), while Giselle, in white and silver, now put an ostrich-feather plume of Maat in her hair, and Bridgid and Kathleen dressed in red and black as Isis and Nephthys respectively.
As each initiate emerged from the sauna (and shower) they selected a shabti from the altar in the main space. Kathleen makes terraphins, small semi-abstracted clay figures, so these were perfect as shabtis, the ceramic figurines the ancient Egyptians took with them to help out in the next world (many of the terraphins are phallic shaped, having another ancient uses also, but we didn't all know each other quite well enough for mummies within mummies).
Each initiate embalmed their shabti with the near-to traditional embalming ingredients: pure ground rock salt (to purify the physical and subtle bodies); Dead Sea mud (to earth and preserve their prayers for eternal life); balm of frankincense and myrrh (the fragrance of which would be guide to the Ba5 of each being back into this incarnate life). The shabtis were then wrapped in pure cotton muslin for a restoration period of 40 days, done with the same care and attention as those wrapping would want to soon be wrapped themselves, and placed on the low double-headed lion table/altar.
While others waited (some still tending their shabtis), initiates were invited one by one into the inner chambers, divided from the main section of the temple with golden fabrics. As Anubis, I came and took them into the Treasury Room, which consisted of an indigo blue massage table and an altar with the four animal-headed canopic jars and various tools upon it.
Upon entry — while the naked initiate was still standing up — I performed the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony (chapter 23 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead) and also the Opening of the (third) Eye.
The tools used for this were involved in one of the strange synchronicities leading up to the rite. A few days before the ritual, I showed Giselle two objects from my altar — the finger from a statue I found in Rome (vestige of the nearby broken vestal virgins?), and a small brass Celtic cape clip. After she left — only half an hour or so later — I started researching the Opening of the Mouth on the web, and discovered that the tools they used for this were called a kesh-pesesh (which was shaped exactly like the cape clip, with ram-horn-like shape curling out in each direction from the handle), a setep (a serpentine wiggly staff like the one I had just used in practising my Ardnarishvara performance), and a stone finger!
So these objects were each employed in the EquinoXuliuqE ceremony (verse adapted from Egyptian funerary texts):
Your Mouth is split open with this finger of Horus
With which he split open the mouth of his father Osiris.
With this Setep I bless thy Heart and thy Tongue
Thy Heart that it may be as light as the feather of Maat
Thy Tongue that thou mayest be True of Voice in Amenta MaaXheru
With this Kesh Pesesh I bless thy mouth so that thy jawbones separated in the embalming may be re-established
That thou mayest eat in the next World
That thou mayest drink in the next World
And that thou mayest Speak in the next World
Your Word of Power. Hekau MaaXheru
With this Setep I bless
Your eye that you may see in the next World
Behold, the eye of Horus has been seized that it may be brought before thee…
Then (with the forewarning, you wont be needing them here) the initiates brains were etherically pulled out through their nostrils with another tool, as was done with bodies prior to mummification in ancient Egypt. They were then asked to lay on their backs on the first massage table and covered with silk, for the continuance of their preparation for embalming.
The bass delta-waves of the brain-synch CD that Ground had brought along were slowly increasing in volume and depth, permeating the low-lit atmospheric space we had created.
The initiate was covered in a body sheet and a face veil, and once fully relaxed with harmonic chimes over the body and around the head, I proceeded to remove their vital organs. An etheric incision was made in their side, with slight pressure from a real (blunt) blade — my lioness-hilted knife — and energy work combined with laying-on of hands and tools over the sheet and discordant chimes then gave the full effect of organs being removed.
First the liver was taken out, and while it was held above their abdomen, the initiate was asked to cleanse any bodily toxins, anger and stress from it. This intent was aided by Isis and Nephthys at each end of the table, who began slowly to fan the body. This was inspired by Keirons idea that the posture of winged Isis in Egyptian images encodes healing techniques. Energy was passed with the breath and arm movements bearing black eagle wings (Nephthys) and peacock-feather fans (Isis), gradually increasing in speed until at the maximum velocity the toxins were released with a resonant harmonic chime lifted up and away from the body. The purified liver was then placed, as Anubis whispered to its owner, in the canopic jar of man-headed Imsety, for storing and restoring, under the protection of the Goddess Isis.
Next the stomach was removed, cleansed of all anxieties held therein, and placed in the canopic jar of jackal-headed Duamutef for storing and restoring, under the protection of the Goddess Neith. The intestines were unravelled and pulled out, cleansed of fears and doubt, and placed in the canopic jar of hawk-headed Khebesenuef for storing and restoring, under the protection of the Goddess Selket. Another incision was made along the left shoulder-blade and with the initiates forced exhalation the lungs were removed from the chest, cleansed of any sadness and grief held there, and placed in the canopic jar of baboon-headed Hapy for storing and restoring, under the protection of the Goddess Nephthys. As in ancient Egyptian tradition, the heart remained in the body for mummification with its host.
Soothed with singing bells and bowls over the form, they were left empty to relax for a while before proceeding to the Golden (embalming) Room…
The Treasury Room was adjoined to the embalming chamber known as The Golden Room. As it was set up traditionally these two areas contained no door between them so as to permit the energetic exchange between the two processes occurring in both areas.
In the embalming chamber was a golden altar upon which stood the Scales of Maat, embalming salts, heating oils and perfumes. Greeted by the Priestess of Maat with the breath of Life, the initiates gazed into an ankh mirror, witnessing their former selves for the last time prior to their coming resurrection and were laid upon a white massage-table. Giselle worked on one initiate there while I brought the next into the Treasury Room for mouth-opening and organ removal.
The embalming process was lush and intended to bring each initiate into the full embodiment of the sacredness of their sensory selves. A sheet of gossamer silk was pulled across the entire body in water-like motions. Hot oils of frankincense and myrrh were poured upon them and temple-style bodywork was performed, specific to each person.
Then continued the same embalming process that they had already completed on their shabti-selves: a layer of pure rock salt, sprinkled or thrown onto energy centres was gently glided over body for ritual purification, and then rinsed off with dripping warm water and hot towels. Mud from the Dead Sea, a powerful mineral-rich substance, marked certain centres, which were then painted with a warm bees wax balm of frankincense — their souls being asked to follow the scent into this life. Finally, more embalming hot oil and the wrapping of the form.
Depending on whether I was busy with someone else in the Treasury Room, I helped with some of the wrappings, so that right limbs would be wrapped by a male and left by a female simultaneously.
Legs and abdomen were bandaged tightly in muslin strips — but not too tightly to cause discomfort. The arms we had to be especially careful with, as they were then folded over the chest in Osirian posture; we didn't want joints to become sore over time while cocooned possibly for an hour or more (as happened with me on one of the test runs). Finally the ears were stuffed with cotton wool (to mute further sounds of other people going through the wrapping or unwrapping process, and turn the senses and thus energy even more inwards) and the head was wrapped, a separate cloth for the neck and chin ensuring a slit was left open for breathing through the mouth.
Our aim was to create a nurturing womb-like gestation for people, an inner journey and rejuvenatory passage rather than an intense ordeal of bondage. Only one person had real difficulty with the process (initially) and this was due to vivid memories of being buried alive in a previous life. She suddenly panicked as we began the final layer, the cotton sheet which was wrapped around the bandages to keep the arms and all in place. However, she was encouraged to face and go beyond her fears, although we would of course unwrap her any time she definitely wanted to be. After a while she calmed somewhat and bravely decided to go through with it, and eventually settled into a comfortable space with the process, remaining cocooned for an hour or so like everyone else. Later she was glad to have overcome her fears.
If they wished when asked, initiates would have a Kheper scarab beetle placed over their heart under their wrapped hands — to represent Kheperi, the Midnight Sun of Becoming. Some who had expected a ceramic scarab were surprised when unwrapped to find an actual large iridescent turquoise Christmas beetle, as I had collected many which had flown into the black lights at our Earthcore electric egg installation a few years ago.6
When fully mummified, with final chimes and the blessing Unto Amenta, the bodies were lifted by the four facilitators from the massage table and carried horizontally to be placed on the far side of the temple. Aside from the practicality of clearing the table for the next initiate, this also conveyed a sense of the Barque of the Dead, the passage of the sun-boat unto Amenta, the Ancient Egyptian afterlife.
People were then left to their own inner journeys in stillness and silence, rather than any kind of guided meditation. Several reported afterwards vivid visions, while others simply experienced a serene void space of no-mind and deep relaxation.
Every ten to fifteen minutes I would come by and sprinkle water over the arrayed cocooned forms, to keep their body-temperatures down (they were also next to an open window), and to give them each the opportunity — without me having to ask and thus potentially invade their trip — to tell me if they needed to be unwrapped or anything else.
Personally (in my own pre-equinox mummification experience) I felt both extremely aware of and in my body, with senses extremely amplified, simultaneous with an awareness of astral realities: my soul-bird or Ba hovering above me, and the other layers of etheric bodies like onion-rings around and within my physical form. My consciousness flickered strangely between occupation of my body, and of the soul-bird above looking down at it. Then I had a vision of Giselle coming back down the spiral stairs into the temple from the house above, and in Maat-form weighing my heart upon the scales. Her physical form followed only a few minutes later, and actually merged with her astral body as she reached the table and touched my head, bringing me back into full body-consciousness again. She corroborated later that she was in deep trance and had indeed on suddenly waking felt herself coming down, just before she actually did physically, to see if I was alright.
In the pre-equinoctial rites we had also experimented with the raising (but not release) of sexual energy during the embalming process, and at first when wrapped this turned into extreme tension and discomfort. I just wanted to get out, but then circulated the energy with deep-breathing and Kechari mudra (tongue deep in the back of the throat), and found myself in a space of intense bliss. Because I was so completely contained, no prana could escape and I could feel it coursing around my form in tingling currents of ecstasy.
On the equinox, when it was time to unwrap the physical initiates, these words were spoken in their ears by Anubis, Isis and Nephthys, as extracted and adapted slightly from an ancient Egyptian funerary text found on the web:
Anubis: Ah Helpless One! Helpless One Asleep!
Ah Helpless One in this Place
Which you know not (yet I know it!)
Behold, I have found you lying here
The great listless One.
Isis (to Nephthys): Ah, sister
This is our brother/sister
Come, let us lift up his/her head
Come, let us rejoin his/her bones
Come, let us reassemble his/her limbs
Come, let us put an end to all his/her woe
That, as far as we can help s/he will be weary no more.
May the moisture begin to mount for this spirit!
May the canals be filled through you
May the rivers be created through you
[name of initiate], live!
[name of initiate], the great Listless One arise!
I am Isis!
Nephthys: I am Nephthys
It shall be that Horus will redeem you
It shall be that Thoth will protect you
Then will your power be visible in the sky…
Anubis: Now you are a kings son/queens daughter
A prince/ss
As long as your soul exists,
So long will your heart be with you.
Your embalmer rejoices in every place
Ah, truly you are the Chosen One!
You are made whole in this your dignity before us,
Anubis heart is happy over the work of his hands
And the hearts of the Lord and Lady of this Divine Hall are thrilled
To behold this radiant new God/dess.
The unwrapping was amazing (from both sides of the process). People would emerge feeling and looking very fresh and tender, like newborn babes with soft glowing skin and expressions of peace and regeneration, or flowers unfurling for the oncoming Spring. Re-sensitised skin was softly caressed with ostrich-feathers and vibrations from Tibetan bells run along the limbs close to the surface.
When the face was unwrapped (last) the initiates were requested to keep their eyes closed, until my mirror-pyramids had been placed over the eyes. Then, when they opened them, the first thing they saw was their own eyes reflected in hive-like prismatic matrices of triangles.
Restored organs were then retrieved from their canopic jars and re-inserted into their bodies by Anubis, jiggled into place and re-awoken with the ringing of my caduceus-bell over their forms.
Everyone said they didn't want their brains back, then consented on, 'Are you sure?'; except for Shannon, a Tantric priestess who still declined their return on second request (presumably preferring to think with her heart, as the Egyptians believed).
All initiates physically present found the experience intense and rewarding, although the facilitators were pretty exhausted for a few days. When I was mummified, I found my senses heightened for days, even weeks afterwards.
We have chosen the Middle Path, the Lion Path of Regeneration!
Since this initial equinox ritual of group embalming, Giselle and I have further developed the process and have practised it for a year as a professional therapeutic treatment, a healing restoration intensive. Usually one person (but occasionally two) at a time undergoes most of the process as we initially devised on the equinox (only the group breathing exercises are left out, since they require the numbers). From repeated (though irregular) practise of the process we have refined it considerably, the flow increasing progressively. Some interesting visions have occurred during the ceremony even for those who had little knowledge of ancient Egyptian deities or customs. For example, one woman saw a cat-headed woman with glowing golden eyes standing watching at the foot of the massage table throughout, despite no conscious familiarity with the similarly-imaged feline Egyptian pleasure-Goddess Bast.
Performing a number of embalmings in a concentrated period on a visit to Adelaide (South Australia) we further developed the importance of the Word of Power in relation to the process: initiates finding a word, sound or vibration which summarizes and codifies their journey of transformation.
Now (August 2006) we are taking these unique treatments we have developed from their seeding-grounds in the rainforests of the Dandenong Ranges just out of Melbourne, and out into the world. We are embalming candidates during the Festival season in Edinburgh in a room overlooking the Castle there, then doing treatments elsewhere in the UK before visiting for the first time the original source of our inspiration — Egypt itself, for the Global Vishudha (throat chakra) Working. There we will collectively resonate our Words of Power in Giza in November 2006.

Trawler rescues two castaways in rough seas off Tromsø, Norway
By Baird Maritime - April 14, 2020
Written by Baird Maritime on April 14, 2020 . Posted in Search and Rescue, Trawling World.

A fishing vessel came to the aid of two people who had gone adrift at sea and were in danger of drowning off Tromsø, Norway, on Wednesday, April 8.
Brothers Kyrre and Runar-André Nilsen were on the trawler Skjongholm and were returning to Trøndelag on the afternoon (local time) of Wednesday after three weeks out at sea when they received a request to assist in the rescue of two other fishermen who had ended up in the water after their boat sank.
Upon sighting the distressed fishermen shortly before 19:30, Kyrre jumped into the water to save them while Runar-André remained at Skjongholm's helm. However, the worsening weather and sea conditions made it impractical to attempt to pull the castaways out of the water due to the risk that they might be swept away before they could be brought aboard the trawler.
Kyrre held one of the fishermen and the other was tied to the trawler with a rope to keep them both close while waiting for the arrival of a lifeboat from the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (Redningsselskapet).
A Redningsselskapet lifeboat team reached the area around 40 minutes later and pulled the castaways out of the water. They have since been brought to hospital in Tromsø to be treated for hypothermia while Skjongholm resumed its return voyage to Trøndelag.

Former Calgary wonderchild continues to impress as New York doctor in training
Michele Jarvie • Calgary Herald
Dr. Dhaval Pau, a former Calgary teenager who graduated high school at age 15, went on to premed at the American University of Antigua. He's now finishing his residency in New York and has accepted a fellowship in critical care medicine in St. Louis. In addition to practising medicine he's also developing an app to help seniors keep track of their medications. Calgary
Laughing at comparisons to '80s sitcom character Doogie Howser M.D., a former Calgarian is nonetheless a real-life equivalent to the adolescent TV character.
At 23, Dhaval Pau is finishing up his internal medicine residency at Staten Island University in New York after being admitted to pre-med school at age 15, when his classmates were still learning high school biology.
Former Calgary wonderchild continues to impress as New York doctor in training Back to video
"It is quite strange, I guess, but, to me, it was normal. I didn't know any other way. I made friends quite easily so I fit in pretty well."
Dr. Dhaval Pau, a former Calgary teenager who graduated high school at age 15, went on to premed at the American University of Antigua. He's now finishing his residency in New York and has accepted a fellowship in critical care medicine in St. Louis. In addition to practising medicine he's also developing an app to help seniors keep track of their medications. Calgary
That was a prerequisite as Pau has lived around the world since being born in India. His parents moved to Singapore when he was two and then to Fort McMurray as his engineer father chased work in the energy industry. The family moved to Calgary when Pau was about nine, where he continued to study at his own pace at school, advancing grades until graduating at 15.
At an age when most teenagers are focused on dating and hanging out with friends, Pau headed off to pre-med school at the American University of Antigua (AUA).
"AUA played a very big role in me being able to be where I am now. I'm very grateful they gave me the opportunity when no one else gave me the chance."
Next June, he'll start a prestigious fellowship in critical care medicine at St. Louis University School of Medicine.
"Initially I thought I was more interested in cardiology. But then I did a rotation in ICU … and that solidified my interest in caring for the sickest of the sickest in the hospital."
An obviously gifted child, Pau says he knew from an early age that he wanted to be a doctor, despite his father's advice to follow his footsteps into the oilpatch. Pau was intrigued by an uncle who is a physician in India and, after joining him on a few medical missions as a young teen, he was sold.
"He goes on a lot of volunteering expeditions in smaller villages where people have no access to medical care. Watching him, watching his patients get better. That really inspired me to follow in his footsteps. Last year, I actually got to work alongside him, treating patients as a doctor now. That was a very nice experience."
But as dedicated as he is to practising medicine, Pau is also keen to do research. He has a long list of projects he's worked on — including one that uses a smartphone app to remind patients to take medications.
During clinical training, Pau was struck by the fact that even 70- and 80-year-olds had smartphones, and proposed a study to determine whether an app can effectively track medications and remind users to take them. He picked up some HTML coding and watched YouTube videos to learn how to program an app.
"We're entering an era of Facebooking grandfather and tweeting grandmother, and medicine needs to adapt to these changes in technology. There's a huge disconnect between what doctors prescribe and whether patients fill those prescriptions and take them on time. We need something that could help them keep track (of their medications)."
If the results show the app helps patients take their medications and, subsequently, their conditions improve, Pau will work to develop some sort of wristband with the app.
"I want to help people, that's why I went into medicine in the first place. But I think it's important for all physicians to contribute to the advancement of the field."
With such a keen mind and impressive resume, Pau could probably write his own ticket to anywhere once he's done training in St. Louis. He could work alongside his uncle in desperate conditions in India; he could return to the exotic surroundings of the Far East or remain in the Big Apple, or somewhere completely foreign and new. Pau already knows exactly where he wants to be in five years. And it is a place of familiarity and comfort.
"I see myself back in Canada, hopefully in Calgary. I see myself working in an ICU setting there in one of the hospitals and, hopefully, being able to work on some research as well… I'd love to come back home."
