Open Letter to My Family
Idle Orgs
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
August 16, 2018 By Mike Rinder 81 Comments
Columbus is DOING IT!
Lots of action about Columbus this week. There must be a fundraising mission there…
This org seems to have been designated as one to be on the line up for a Miscavige ribbon yanking ceremony and they are trying to squeeze as much money out of the suckers before central reserves foots the bill.
It's always an indicator when you see the same old Flag whales giving money…
Space for 370 New scientologists
They couldn't round up 370 new , OLD or deceased scientologists in Columbus…
I can almost guarantee you that today they do not have ONE student on any Academy level course.
If you build it they won't come.
Going for the win?
Definition of a win: an empty building.
Freedom is realized?
By the ideal org alliance?
What this actually says is: Freedom comes about by giving money to ideal orgs. It's WAY better than auditing. More case gain per dollar…
Is it just me?
Or is this horrendously UNappealing.
Even the photoshop sucks.
Experience OT
All you need do is write a check or ring up your credit card and you will discover what it is like to be an OT. Endless regging.
Now if there was an OT level to get rid of regges rather than BT's it would be a big seller. And they wouldn't even need to reg for it!
Sure doesn't look like it every time I drive by.
Because of the case gain of course
Why did we do it? Why wouldn't we do it? Makes sense.
Scientology will be big and stable enough
It's an interesting thought. If there is enough MEST perhaps it will conquer theta? Or something?
A seminar for the ages
Dave and everyone else needs to be there…
They don't seem to be able to create any safe-points.
This is embarrassing…
Or it should be.
At least you can sort of explain an ideal org.
But an event venue that is smaller than Ruth Eckerd Hall that they have been using for 30 years. Why?
I don't even know what this means?
Make it go right
Wonder how long you can keep saying that when things are just not going right?
Something completely horrid must have happened…
This took a TR's course in 1990. After 28 years this is their "stat-push" letter?
Competent. Confident. Truly Free.
Bet those speakers are none of the above.
Top Blokes?
Is it because I am Australian that these ads seem to weird to me?
Sea Org life here we come…
Do you really have any idea what you are getting yourself into?
Wonder why every scientologist is in debt?

Ann Davis says
Aqua that is well said my friend. It's possible that I still feel pity because I was never in and they didn't steal years of my life and my money! Lol. I came to this blog because I had so much anger after watching Aftermath that I couldn't sleep and had no one who wanted to discuss it. At least here everyone has made me feel like I can ask questions and share my thoughts and feelings . So thank you for that! ☺
Alcoboy says
Looking at the pictures of the future Columbus Org I like how Scientology rips off ideas from other religions. In this case, it's Christian Science.
Look how the course room has quotes from LRH tacked to the walls. This is exactly what you see in a Christian Science church except that the quotes are from Mary Baker Eddy.
Assholes! Plagiarists!
Re: Extra hand on Buzz's shoulder:
That's what happens when sleep deprived Sea Org Members attempt to do Photoshop.
Re: the Doug Pringle letter.
Looks like a goldenrod for dear Doug(yay!)as that letter probably made its way to Ethics.
Reminds me of a time when I was on staff. I wrote a letter to a blown public and she wrote back with something like this:
I dont want nuthing to do with no syintology or no sulebruties.
A load of good Study Tech did her.
Doug Sprinkle says
I am Doug Pringle and have been hoping for years to get a goldenrod. I just hope they get my name right
Thanks, Doug, but it looks like, given the sorry state of Scientology, that you'll have to try a hell of a lot harder than that.
Not fair, I deserve a goldenrod as much as anyone.
But, Doug, Scientology is in dire straits right now! They need bodies in the shop real bad! In their opinion, no matter how enturbulated and SP we are, we can still be recovered and gotten back on lines! That means both of us!
So, what do you say?
We can probably be recovered, but I am afraid it will not be cheap. So can you loan me a few hundred thousand dollars?
Victor says
As a part of my ethics cycle I once had to cover credit card expenses of a girl who joined SO.
Karma's a B says
Mike while you know my past…..I realize others don't. I'm new to joining in on your blog topics but you, and many regulars on your page have been a HUGE inspiration and part of my daily life for years. Tonight's Blog, Thursday funnies I honestly looked forward to in years past, but now…I just want to end this sick reign of terror and torture. I realized tonight I no longer look forward to the funnies, but I feel instead a loathing, maybe even guilt for not stepping up and sounding off earlier, as I read through. True, I may target certain Eff Pee believers in Daveys cult of scn…….but only because by doing so I know they will show their true colors and nasty intentions. The deeper I go the more I want to fight. You sir, are a true Knight and Warrior for those that have no voice. Thank you for what you do and what you sacrifice for doing it. You and your family are amazing and I thank you for letting me in to be a small part of it each day.
N. Graham says
I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a Scientology classroom with anybody actually in it. Just in the article alone, pictures of 3 totally empty rooms. Wouldn't the advertising be more effective with a bunch of people actually in the rooms? Oh ya, they would have to do a casting call to get enough people.
OTD-OUTTHEDOOR says
It's telling that the images of the fantastic looking course rooms are just that: the rooms. Does this mean that these rooms are often packed to the gills (hahahaha)?
Jane (Now I got) Dough says
Dear JoAnne,
You might have to pay the person to take those materials off your hands.
OTVIIIisGrrr8! says
LRH defines it as a HIGH CRIME to sell your LRH books, tapes, congresses, etc. This is covered in HCOPL "Criminal Ripoff of Orgs"
"Aside from the delivery of services, the Orgs exist to sell LRH books, tapes, congresses, meters, etc. The Orgs are the only approved sales channel in Scientology. Scientologists attempting to sell their LRH books, tapes, congresses, meters for ANY REASON are committing a high crime by ripping off the Orgs."
"I am also personally harmed when a Scientologists to sell the materials I so painstakingly wrote at the cost of decades of research which include breaking my back on the OT levels. I emerged very knocked out but alive, the only one to have emerged from the trap after 75,000,000 years."
"To sell LRH materials, particularly by promoting them as "used" is to slap me in the face and say that my brief breath in eternity counted for nothing. This makes less of me as I lose the royalties I would otherwise collect on the sale of new books, tapes, lectures and so on and so forth to which I am entitled. I need those royalties to fund my researches as I take no salary from the Church and pay all of my own expenses."
"Scientology cannot progress when the Orgs are being ripped off and I am being deprived of my royalties. Why just the other Mary Sue told me that the engine on the ship needed a piston rings. Where is that money going to come from if Scientologists are selling LRH materials? Piston rings don't pay for themselves. I pay for such items out of my own pocket."
"Someday the Church will repay me for my researches and expenses when its finances are more solid. But until that day comes when I bill Scientology the $85,000,000 I will be owed, we all must sacrifice. And that means no selling of Source materials by Scientologists."
The Crocodile Dundee guy looks like Dieter Welte, longtime PAC Base staff.
Balletlady says
Crocodile Dumb Dee……
Meepthorp says
The crocodile dundee guy is Errol Schmidt; Melbourne IAS reg and all-round fundraiser and husband of Ethics officer Emma
WhatAreYourCrimes says
JoAnne Linsell… please GET OUT now! Don't set yourself up for a lifetime of regrets and misery. Also, don't you like sleep? Family? At least a little free time? Freedom???
Scn911 says
Are Greg & Sandra Winteregg both male? Sure looks like it in the photo… not that there's anything wrong with that… except in scientology… unless you have bags of cash.
My Inner Space says
Which Winteregg is which? In the picture it looks like two men!
Peabody says
The hand on Buzz's left shoulder looks odd.
Peggy L says
Triple Humanitarians
Which one is Greg Winteregg & which one is Sandra Winteregg? Now I'm confused again.
I Yawnalot says
Creepy! That's the only thing to say about any of these flyers. The Sydney recruitment ones were particularly offensive but the Crocodile one is way beyond puke! Oh my…
Pucklady says
They want to "duplicate my needs". What? I don't want my needs duplicated. Why would I want twice the number of needs? I'm getting a mental picture of the Sorceror's Apprentice where he keeps chopping the troublesome brooms in half only to have twice as many!
Rod M says
Mike I'm not Austrailian but I've been there enough to be offended by the Crocodile Dundee insult. Only a idiot like DM could have approved of this piece of unsulting imagery. I've been to the outback so far that I hit ocean at Port Hedland where BHP has a mining operation and never saw anyone who looked like Dundee – probably never would. Wow! DM is an asshat!
jack ryan says
Buzz Newman is from north of Boston and is a veterinarian. His bio says he used to own his own clinic, now seems to be an employee. 617 is Boston area code.
Gail Shourds says
I was trying to make sense out of the explanation on why they are donating and it was all goobledegook…..It made absolutely no sense whatsoever and it just made me think they were both freaking nuts. Its sad that he's probably lost everything and is in debt up to his eyeballs….And it's horrible to think all the years that have been wasted on this.
Newcomer says
He is probably working at Int Base. Seems an emergency call went out for someone to come treat the head pit bull because He was frothing at the mouth.
SarahDB says
They bought a building here in Boston for their idle morgue and are now re-regging everyone for the renovations.
Xenu's Son says
Yeah bizarre,
Used to be training was promoted a lot.
Did quite a bit myself and know many others who did too.
Did not meet too many dissatisfied people.
Although OT III and up is just nuts,very few people ever complained about the grades.
How a group that was kind of usually somewhat on par with say EST and NLP and other technologies of the day got hijacked by an Evil Dwarf to build empty buildings,got staffed by people who were reeducated cleaning toilets with toothbrushes,and stopped delivering what sometimes had some value is puzzling.
That must be Miscarriages hand on Buzz Newman's shoulder because it is not Tracey's ………………unless she just completed the double jointed elbow rundown!
Aquamarine says
Mike Maddux says
Crocodile Dun, Sir!
dwarmed says
Thanks for that loud bark of laughter for the day!
Gimpy says
Mike's comment on the last picture is spot on, I did'nt know a scion who wasn't in debt, including me! My personal debt grew each year and I deluded myself by saying I'd tackle it eventually, I only got rid of it once I left them completely.
Same with me. I believe most commentors on this blog are familiar with my 'from staff to Goodwill' success story.
PeaceMaker says
I'm really not sure they could gather 370 Scientologists who are really currently active, in the whole central US between the coasts – the heartland, including up into Canada, seems to be where they are weakest of all, though even some of their locations in large East Coast metro areas like Philadelphia seem to be doing just as badly. They'd be lucky to get 37 even if they bused in all the newbies from every org for 500 miles.
That "stat-push" or "recovery" letter is another strange one. Like some others we have seen before, it is very curt and sort of passive-aggressive – what do they think that accomplishes?
"…though even some of their locations in large East Coast metro areas like Philadelphia seem to be doing just as badly."
Based on the throngs of people we saw when in New York's Time Square – hundreds of thousands of people (per Wikipedia) traversing this area each day – I check in with NY Ideal Org's Facebook page regularly, because this org is LESS THAN 1 block from Time Square and there is NOTHING, but nothing, but "foot traffic" in this area!
Well, according to their Facebook page, the last Clear made in New York Org was over a year ago! From his black vest and white shirt he's wearing most likely he's a staff member there, and if he's a staff member very likely his family paid for his auditing.
That's how well NEW YORK org is doing; no Clears made in well over a year.
In fact, nothing new has been posted on this org's Facebook page since March of 2017!
That bears repeating:
NOTHING NEW HAS BEEN POSTED ON NEW YORK ORG'S FACEBOOK PAGE SINCE MARCH OF 2017.
So what does that tell you about how exponentially the cult is "expanding" ?
And the Still Ins there – they don't see this, I guess..? They don't wonder…?
See, its possible that some people are just too stupid to live.
Last time I went by the NYC location, two young people were outside smoking. The placed was totally dead, no one looking in, walking in….nothing. We'd had a quick lunch in the nearby Pizza place & took out some leftover. I gave two slices to these two kids, who wolfed it down……sad.
That was kind of you, Balletlady. It is sad that they wolfed down the pizza like that. Even sadder is that they couldn't even buy their own slices and saddest of all that they'd be so hungry as to accept food from a stranger on the street! (No matter how respectable someone looked, its not something I would do)
Thank you Aqua….they were young kids, maybe late teens, near 20. They looked so sad, we had ordered a six slice pizza, had two slices left which the establishment boxed up for us with our asking them to do so. Not wanting to insult the owner by tossing it, & not wanting to carry it around NYC the rest of the day…as we walked past those two young ones again, I said simply "Hey, I've got extra pizza slices here I don't want to carry around all day, would you guys like it"…. They smiled pleasantly & nodded yes…so I handed them the small box with the two slices which they nearly inhaled……felt good to know at least they had something to eat.
Got it on everything. Sounds like they were staff or in that they were smoking, more likely young Sea Org from the CLO around the corner. They "inhaled" the pizza, huh? My money is on them being Sea Org kids. Very sad.
You know what's the saddest of all, Balletlady? These kids, trusting food from you, depending upon "the kindness of strangers" for their lunch, would have refused that pizza if they had known that you communicate on an Anti-Scientology blog with SPs! Which makes YOU an SP btw. And if they ever discover this, or are somehow informed of this – unlikely, but if this ever occurs they'll either be reported to Ethics or they'll have to report themselves to Ethics. They'll be in real trouble if this is discovered. But don't worry, this is unlikely.
I keep adding comments because this pizza incident does blow my mind. In a nutshell, two slices of pizza eaten these two hungry kids has the potential of getting them into severe ethics trouble, if they're Sea Org. Pizza. Blows my mind, I tell you!
smorbie says
I actually found that letter offensive. I can't believe they think that would recover anyone.
Miss Q says
Wait…I can't even *begin* to understand this letter. Please explain what on earth that is about?????
The letter was sent to me. In addition to being a stat push as Mike noted, my take was she is hoping I will respond to tell them what about my experience went wrong to explain why they can't get me to come back. They have been writing and calling for years and will not give up.
But what really struck me was that the group that has the tech to solve every problem in the universe can't get my last name right.
Thanks, Doug, for the explanation. It makes (somewhat) more sense as part of a long run of letters from them. But if she thinks a snarky note like that will get anybody to respond, she's nuts.
Nan.B says
What a bunch of idiots!
Valerie says
Why do all the people in the photos in the "why we did it" flyers look like they've been wrung through the wringer, not bright and shiny.
Rhetorical question, no answer required.
MarcAnon says
Mike – Can you do a post about Marty Rathbun? I remember him being out of Scientology and being a critic, seeing him on some tv programs, but then I see the CoS using some of his material to criticize you and he seems like maybe he's back in..? What's the story there?
Davey owns him now ……. for good.
If you search Rathbun in his posts and look at the 2017 posts, you will see what he has written. Mike has addressed this situation.
Right. And the less attention Marty gets, the better.
Hmmm……..you read Mikes blog often? Do me a favor MarcAnon…….ask Marty that question on HIS blog.
Very true, MarcAnon. On this blog, the name of Marty Rathbun is persona non grata.
In fact, I don't know if I should even be saying his name.
White Light says
Please Joanne Linsell, don't walk into that pit of hell willingly. Preserve your basic human freedoms now and run as far as you can away from the greedy jaws of scientology. They will eat up all your life force and spit you out again. From someone who's been there – you have no idea what you're doing!
Joanne Linsell joined the SO thinking she would be regged no more since she cannot resist the hard sell.
Joanne, listen to me! Go online right now and read Thomas Weeks' account of what he encountered in the Sea Org!
It is…………quite………informative and I'll leave it at that.
That will be your mystery sandwich.
Old Surfer Dude says
"Please private message me if you have any ideas that can help me." Help you! You're completely fucked. That's all there is to it. You just jumped into the lions den. They're going to chew you up & and spit you out. And you're out there selling the last of your MEST? Girl, you fucked up big time. Have you ever heard of 'circling the drain…'.
You sure about this?
Well, OSD, don't be so hard on the girl. She's joining the Sea Org. She's going to be a Blood Sucker for the next billion years. So she needs money so she can pay off all her own debts so that she's freed up Blood Suck OTHER people into debt. And of course, the way to get money in the cult is not to do anything so boring as to EARN it. That's just so square and besides it takes too long. So what you do is mooch it out of your family and friends and strangers! Its good practice. She's just doing some practical drills now, to help her be an effective Billion Year Blood Sucker.
OSD…..you rock brother! Keep speaking the truth! ???
David Bates says
Looks like Crocadile Dundee must have had a sex change operation. How does that fit into LRH tech.
I'm glad you said that first David. I was thinkin' it.
It just means that he was a woman in a past life!
I just feel so sorry for all these people – giving every penny they have and then being "poor" for what?? So sad – so sad!
It sure is Sue, and they do it because they truly believe they are going to make the world a better place. If/when this all blows up they are going to need a lot of moral support from people who know what they have gone through.
Why are you sorry for them? They're purposefully, willfully blind. They're not innocent. The evidence of the scam is all around them, and they ignore it. They KNOW the truth, and still choose to stay. They deserve to get scammed. Scammed again and again and again until they decide to LOOK at the evidence all around them. If the cult were not scamming them, someone else would be.
I got scammed, several times, and finally I looked, and didn't get scammed again.
This cult has scammed THOUSANDS of others, causing them to PAY ATTENTION afterwards. They got scammed, paid attention, woke up and LEFT.
Why not these people?
Pity them? I used to. No more.
When they reach their scamming limit, they'll pay attention to what they should have been paying attention to LONG before.
In the meantime, they'll be milked for all they have and they deserve to be.
I trust I've made my point!
Aqua I do still have pity for some mixed with anger for sure! Just depends on the circumstances. Like the ones who are still genuinely brainwashed. But you have every right to feel that way! ?
Thanks. I suppose I got tired of feeling sorry for them. Even an animal won't take that for very long. Even a dog, if it is abused enough, will run away. Like a wife who's continually beaten or otherwise abused by her husband. She just keeps taking it and taking it and making excuses for him. to herself and to others. Going back for more. After a while you look at this person and think, "Ok. On some level, you must need this, want this. Ok. Get abused! Enjoy yourself!" That said, I still support the truth getting out there as much as I can.
But I lost my emotion for these people. I'm not proud of that. Its just the way it is. I'm not good at pretending to feel what I don't feel.
It would thrill me to be able to know if and/or when each of the Still Ins confronts the truth. How it occurrs, what causes each person to look, details like that. It will be great when those who have eyes to see, see.
But the ones who don't, who won't, well, then they don't and they won't, that's all. What good will my pity do them? Or anybody's pity for that matter? They will be the casualties. Que sera sera.
Here's some free advise – run! Save yourself.
Or is this horrendously UNappealing"
I doubt it's just you Mike. Really really unappealing IMO. Actually freakish.
Columbus wouldn't be too too much of a drive so I've been thinking it may be worth it just to drive by and see what the hoopla is all about.
jim says
Joanne (last posting),
You have gone from being a debtor to selling your soul to the company store (ala Johnny Cash). My idea to help you is: Turn around and walk out of the door.
Chuckles says
1. I'm not sure the Columbus poster should be pushing football with the problems the Ohio State University football program is having right now. Do they really want to associate themselves with abusers and cover-ups? Oh, never mind.
2. Is a "Naming ceremony" (their capitalization, not mine) something that takes place in Scientology? That flyer about weddings lists one of the things to celebrate is a "Naming ceremony." Did not know that was part of Scientology.
Yes, the Naming Ceremony is basically the Scientology version of a Catholic christening. Normally, LRH would have written a christening ceremony but when you believe that Jesus was nothing but an implant……………..
Python Swoope says
We "EXECUTE" cult leaders here in Ohio – Don't say you weren't warned!
Ref: http://www.news-herald.com/article/HR/20141231/NEWS/141239955
In other words, you guys are making mincemeat out of Westboro Baptist Church.
SILVIA says
Amazing, before the posters were about an Auditor made, a Student completing courses, promoting the Red or Green Volumes.
Now is just funding, donating and begging to help with other's debts.
A very, very low level of degradation.
jere Lull (37 years recovering) says
AND she'll be required to sell those "basics" packages AT FULL PRICE soon as she joins staff, so she should offer her 'used' ones at a significant discount right up front.
No, Mike, it isn't just you who is turned off by that lunacy
Scrapings off the bottom of the barrel, meet sunlight…

A: The FMS docs say that the Server-Side ActionScript WebServices class doesn't support security features. I'd suggest asking in the FMS forum, though, because engineers from the team answer questions there.

These industrially produced cheeses are made using technology rather than more artisanal methods. Everyone regularly eats "day-to-day" or "cooking" cheeses – they are easily found in large quantities in French fridges. They are used as ingredients, cooking aids, and to add a touch of creaminess. These "easy" cheeses are used in hot or cold classic dishes, as snacks and as nibbles.

'Dishonest' Preston nurse defrauds hospital trust out of more than £5,000 sick pay
Covid near me: How Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, Lancaster and the rest of Lancashire's coronavirus case rates compare t the rest of the UK
Linda Nolan and Bill Turnbull join NHS doctors to urge people to come forward for cancer checks
Linda Nolan and Bill Turnbull are among the celebrities with cancer who have joined NHS doctors in urging the public to come forward for important checks.
By Laura Harding, PA Deputy Entertainment Editor
Thursday, 20th August 2020, 7:10 am
Updated Thursday, 20th August 2020, 7:14 am
The call comes after concerns were raised that people have delayed seeking help due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It has been shown in the past that celebrities opening up about their cancer diagnoses has led to increases in referrals.
Nearly half of the public have said they had concerns about seeking help in the midst of the outbreak, while one in 10 said they would not contact their GP even if they had a lump or a new mole.
Linda Nolan and Bill Turnbull who are among the celebrities with cancer who have joined NHS doctors in urging the public to come forward for important checks.
Both Linda and her sister Anne, who were part of Irish family pop group The Nolans, recently announced that they had been diagnosed with cancer within days of each other.
Linda, 61, has been undergoing treatment for liver cancer, while Anne, 69, has stage three breast cancer.
Another sister, Bernie, died of breast cancer in 2013 at the age of 52.
Linda, who is receiving chemotherapy at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, said: The care I have received has been nothing short of exceptional, and I know people up and down the country have had similar experiences of the heroic work the NHS and staff are doing to continue to deliver the vital care we all need, even as they deal with the ongoing pandemic.
"So, whilst it might seem daunting, it's important people know they can feel absolutely safe in the hands of the NHS going in for treatments."
Hospitals have put in extensive measures so patients can get safely tested and treated, and Linda added: "If there is care or a treatment you need, don't delay, and contact your GP or NHS 111 to ask about any symptoms.
"It's so important people get checked out when they need to. Cancer doesn't wait, and timing is everything. It might be the very thing that makes all the difference."
There has been a sharp drop in the number of people coming forward for cancer checks, with 141,643 referred in June compared with almost 200,000 during the same period last year.
Former BBC Breakfast star Turnbull first talked about his diagnosis in 2018, which led to a 36% jump in people being referred for prostate cancer, and it is now the most common cancer in the country.
He said: "Cancer is a cruel disease and unfortunately it did not disappear during the coronavirus outbreak.
"We know that it's all too easy to put something like this off, but please do contact the NHS if you have any signs of cancer."
Radio presenter and writer Deborah James, known as "Bowel Babe", has been sharing her experiences about safely continuing treatment at the Royal Marsden on Twitter.
She said: "While coronavirus is the new big C in everyone's lives, it doesn't stop cancer killing people too. It's still a threat and not just for those who are already diagnosed – you must check yourself for symptoms.
"For anyone who is worried about having their treatment during this time, the NHS is still there for people like me and you – it might look slightly different but the staff and the care remain the same."
Professor Peter Johnson, NHS clinical director for cancer, said that waiting to get help can have serious health consequences now and in the future.
He said: "We cannot let Covid become a reason for people not to get checked for cancer – NHS staff up and down the country have worked very hard to make sure that tests and treatment can go ahead quickly and safely.
"Cancers are detected earlier and lives are saved if more people are referred for checks, so our message to you is to come forward – it could save your life."

8 Instagrammable Locations Across Gran Canaria
As you travel across Gran Canaria, one thing that stands out is the island's natural diversity. From the rugged northern coast and verdant laurel forests to the extinct volcanoes and the central mountain peaks, you'll encounter such varied scenery that it's hard to believe you're in the same place. Here's a list of the best locations for stunning photographs to wow your Instagram followers.
Located on the northeast coast, not only is this the capital of Gran Canaria, it's also the largest city in the Canaries. Las Canteras with its sprawling sandy beach has palms and fishing boats at its northern end and surfers and sea mist in the south. The charming, cobbled streets of Vequeta are lined with traditional Spanish architecture ranging from late Gothic to Renaissance and at the heart is the Cathedral of Santa Ana dating from 1500. Nearby is the ornate Casa del Colón where Christopher Columbus was received in 1492 on his way to America.
Top tip: make sure to sample the delicious tapas in the old quarter.
Agaete Natural Pool
Puerto de las Nieves, a cluster of attractive blue and white Canarian houses, is a tiny fishing village on the northwest coast. The Paseo de la Poetas is lined with restaurants, craft shops and galleries and leads to the natural pools of Las Salinas which make the perfect bathing spot. Swimmers are protected from the crashing waves by rock barriers and it's an exhilarating experience as the sea water rushes in. The lush green pine forest mountainside makes the perfect backdrop.
Top tip: try the local speciality; caldo de pescado, a delicious fish soup.
Mirador del Balcon
Take the long drive up the west coast, passing the multi-coloured rocks at Los Azulejos, to get to Mirador del Balcón. This spectacular viewpoint juts out at a height of 400m, perched precipitously above the Atlantic Ocean. Choose a sunny day for the best views when you can normally see all the way up the coast to the small seaside town of Puerto de las Nieves to the north. To the south there's a zigzag wall of sea cliffs known as the Dragon's Tail.
Top tip: take your camera to capture the stunning sunsets.
Tamadaba Natural Park
The oldest and largest natural park on the island, covering an area of 7,500 hectares and part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Moulded by eruptions of the Tamadaba volcano over 14 million years ago, the landscape descends to the sea in a series of ravines and cliffs. At the centre of the reserve is an enormous forest of Canarian pines containing the largest variety of flora on the island and home to birds such as blue chaffinches, kestrels and hawks. At 1,444m, the Pico de la Bandera has changeable weather with snow in the winter and warm summer winds.
Top tip: head up to the peak when it's misty to catch the has spectacular views across the sea of clouds.
Roque Nublo & Roque Bentayga
In the centre of the island, the distinctive outline of Roque Nublo stands at 1,813 and is one of the world's largest free-standing crags. It was an ancient place of worship for the Guanches, the island's aboriginal inhabitants. Bentayga is a natural fortress with a short path leading to their inhabitants' almogarén, a spiritual ceremonial space where the sun plays a spectacular game of light and shadow.
Top tip: at the solstice, a single solar ray strikes a circle engraved on the rock, centuries ago, by Guanche astronomers so plan your visit to coincide.
In the southeast are the castle-like rock formations of La Fortaleza, a fortified Guanche settlement with natural and artificial caves. These were used as dwellings, for food storage and even burial and are all linked by a network of paths and tunnels. It's recognised as the site of the last stand of the indigenous people against the Castilian conquerors.
Top tip: find out more about the Guanches at the excellent interpretation centre which details their tragic history.
Puerto de Mogan
The most westerly resort on the southern coast has a fishing port, a yacht marina and a well-protected sandy beach, perfect for families. The waterfront features Mediterranean style buildings with pedestrianised alleys behind, lines with small gardens and window boxes bursting with bougainvillea. A network of seawater canals connecting the marina to the port mean it's often described as the 'Venice of the Canaries'. Linking promenades and small bridges make it perfect for a leisurely evening stroll before eating in the excellent fish restaurants
Top tip: go early on Friday mornings when there's a sprawling open-air market on the fisherman's quay
The beautiful Maspalomas Dunes ecosystem is made up of 404 hectares of sand and has been a protected reserve since 1987. It's a unique mix of desert and oasis with beaches, palm groves and a freshwater lagoon. The dunes are easily accessible from the well-known tourist resorts of Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and stylish Meloneras.
Top tip: go at dawn for the best experience when its much quieter

Divorce proceedings do not happen overnight. Sometimes, it can be a long and arduous process. When that happens, it is imperative to have an Order in place for this interim time. This period, called Pendente Lite, is the time between when the Complaint for Divorce was filed and when the final Judgment of Divorce was entered.
During the Pendente Lite phase of the case, it is important to have an Order providing who will be paying what expenses. This includes household expenses, auto expenses, insurances, and personal expenses, both for the parties and for the children. These Orders can also provide that neither party can dissipate any assets Pendente Lite. Occasionally litigants try to modify their marital financial arrangements, and Pendente Lite Orders can prevent that from happening.
More importantly, Pendente Lite Orders can provide temporary custody arrangements until a final arrangement is agreed upon by the parties, or alternatively, decided by the Court at a trial. This can include not just the physical custody of the children, meaning where the children will be residing and parenting time schedules, but also legal custody for the children, which is the decision making authority for the children regarding their health, education, and welfare.
Pendente Lite Orders are to maintain the status quo of the marriage. Without getting an Order, a party may choose not to pay their spouse what the recipient spouse would be entitled to. Moreover, the payer may be overpaying what they should actually be paying. Pendente Lite Orders can provide interim relief for the parties, which often times is needed when parties cannot agree and their divorce does not get immediately resolved.

Amartya Sen thanks Mamata for her assist
Posted By: paresh.mandakana@gmail.com December 28, 2020
Shubhadeep Choudhury
Kolkata, December 28
Noted economist Amartya Sen has thanked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for supporting him after he was accused by the Visva Bharati University of illegal land grabbing.
Banerjee on Friday wrote to Sen, winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics in 1998, expressing support for him in the controversy. Some "nouveau invaders" were raising baseless allegations, the Bengal Chief Minister said in the letter addressed to Sen whom she called "Amartya da" (meaning elder brother Amartya, an address that denotes familiarity in the Bengali culture).
In his reply dated December 27, Sen wrote that he was very happy to receive Banerjee's wonderfully supportive letter.
"I am not only most touched, but also very reassured that despite the busy life you have to lead, you can find time for reassuring people under attack," Sen wrote to West Bengal CM.
Sen, who is 87 years of age and currently Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University, wrote that Banerjee's strong voice and her "full understanding of what was going on" was a tremendous source of strength for him.
In her letter to Sen, Mamata had written that he was being targeted by the authorities of Visva Bharati, a centrally-tun university, for speaking out against the Narendra Modi-led regime in Delhi. "I want to express my solidarity with you in your battles against bigotry of majoritarians in this country, the battles that have made you an enemy of these forces of untruth", Mamata wrote in the letter.
Replying to Mamata, Sen wrote that he deeply appreciated the warmth of her extremely kind letter and would like to convey to her his affection and admiration.
Sen wrote "Dear Mamata" at the beginning of the letter while asking if he could call her that (address her by the first name). Sen, a recipient of the country's highest civilian award "Bharat Ratna", signed off the letter as "Amartya" (instead of Amartya-da which Mamata would have perhaps preferred).
Amartya Sen is the latest among the Bengali icons to be dragged into the bitter fight for the soon to be held state elections, for which the BJP has posed a strong challenge to Mamata Banerjee.
Poet Tagore also figured in political wrangling between the state's ruling TMC and BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the poet's Gujarat connection while speaking virtually on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of the foundation day of Vishva Bharati University.
Amartya Sen, who was given his name by none other than Tagore himself, was born in Santiniketan where his father, educationist Ashutosh Sen, had built the family's home, "Pratichi".

Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas and located just outside the Ozark Mountains and Ouachita National Forest, is the third-largest city in Arkansas. Fayetteville is centrally located among several major cities, including St. Louis, Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Memphis. As a result, commercial truck drivers frequent the area in mass numbers. While this brings economic benefits, such activity also leads to an undesirable consequence: increased truck and big rig accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in a wreck with a big rig, contact the Fayetteville truck accident lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz to discuss your situation and learn how we can help you through this difficult time.
A number of major highways run through and around Fayetteville, including U.S. Interstate 49, U.S. Routes 62 and 71, and Arkansas Highways 16, 45, and 112. Many trucking accident claims center around one of the drivers acting negligently, or failing to conform with the standard of care a reasonable person would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances. An injured plaintiff must prove four elements to successfully allege negligence in a truck accident case: duty, breach, causation, and damages. Both federal and state laws impose special duties upon truck drivers to operate their vehicles in a safe, risk-free manner. In addition, a truck driver's breach of that duty must have caused the injuries or damages suffered.
A large consideration in personal injury cases is the legal concept known as the statute of limitations. States maintain different laws on how long an injured victim has to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitation period in Arkansas, for example, is generally three years from the date of the crash. While this seems like a long period of time, evidence may disappear as time goes on. Further, witnesses' memories can fade. Our truck accident attorneys can begin helping Fayetteville residents build their case immediately.
Following a wreck, many commercial trucking companies will instantly begin trying to gather evidence to solidify their position. They may immediately hire experts to download ECM data from the truck, take measurements, and gather physical evidence. Further, they may try to take your recorded statement in an attempt to see if you will make an admission damaging to your claim. This is why it is important to contact a truck accident lawyer in Fayetteville before speaking to any insurance company.
When we represent an accident victim, we get to work immediately. We will want to obtain the police report created by the Fayetteville Police Department or Arkansas Highway Patrol, confirm ownership of the truck, and contact witnesses. We can also send a spoliation of evidence letter to minimize the risk of critical evidence being tampered with or destroyed. We can retain our own experts to download ECM data from the truck, which often provides information related to speed and braking maneuvers attempted. Accident reconstructionist experts can also be used to conduct in-depth analysis to identify the cause of the collision and any contributing factors, such as the roles of various drivers, vehicles, roadways, and environmental factors.
With significant injuries come significant losses. To help you recover your medical bills incurred or the cost of future medical treatment you may need, we can retain medical experts to analyze your records and evaluate your physical condition. If you were employed at the time of the crash but are now unable to return to work, vocational economists can testify as to loss of future earnings based on your work experience, education, and earning history. We carefully select experts in an effort to help maximize the recovery of our clients.
With over 25 years of experience handling personal injury cases, our automobile accident attorneys understand that every case is different. We utilize our resources and legal experience to devise a strategy so you can recover fair compensation for your injuries and damages. In addition to handling cases in Fayetteville, we serve the surrounding area in communities such as Springdale, Rogers, Harris, Elm Springs, and Black Oak. To set up a free consultation with one of our dedicated Fayetteville truck accident attorneys, contact our office toll-free at 800-529-4004 or complete our online form. With just one call, you will see why NST is the way to go.


Lynne, a 94-year-old woman with a devoted husband, desperately wanted to stay at home. To do so, she contacted Encompass for help. We made some suggestions for a safer living environment and provided some intermittent care for her so she could remain in her home, with her husband, independent and safe.
Tricia is a moderate-to-severe dementia patient residing in a long-term care facility. Her children asked Encompass to provide a safety net to allow her to remain in the facility but receive extra stimulation and safety support. By providing caregivers, she is able to participate in the activities in the facility and is safely monitored overnight to eliminate the risk of falls. Her family has peace of mind that Tricia is safe and cared for.
Deborah, a dementia patient, is under the care of Adult Protective Services for neglect. Finding it difficult to take her medications, eat properly and go to the doctor, Encompass now assists Tricia with a medication reminder system as well as provides necessary transportation to the doctor.

Q: Creating simple tiny ELF from scratch I am currently trying to create simple ELF executable using ELFIO library based on their docs (page 8) [1]. This is output from readelf when run on the slightly modified version of their code (nothing important, just different string and address base. Alignments, flags etc. are untouched.)

This executable file runs fine. I wanted to move data section a little bit further from text section, so I have chosen address 0x400040. here you can see that it is all I did.

However, this file keeps seg. faulting on its start. I can't really understand what is going on. At first I though it has something to do with alignment of sections and segments but they seem OK to me. I have also suspected ASLR (because the address of Hello World is hardcoded and there are no relocations) and tried to turned it off in /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space. I have also checked linux kernel source code, especially file fs/binfmt_elf.c, but to fully understand what is going on there I will need more time. So I would like to ask for your help. If you know what is wrong with the address 0x400040, why this file keeps seg. faulting, or you can point me to a certain lines of code in kernel, then I would really appreciate that.
Edit: I have also tried gdb but bt provides No stack. Setting read watchpoint on entry point address does not do anything.
Edit 2: After playing around with the file I found out that moving the file offset of second segment from 0x1020 to 0x1040 causes the file to work fine. So now my question is, does file offset and virtual address need to be in some relation?
[1] http://elfio.sourceforge.net/elfio.pdf

A:
So now my question is, does file offset and virtual address need to be in some relation?

Yes: file offset must be congruent to VirtAddr and PhysAddr modulo page size, because the file is mmaped directly (by the kernel loader).
If you do not maintain that relationship, the kernel will create a new process, attempt to map your executable into it, discover that you've violated basic constraint, and will terminate your process (with SIGKILL, I believe). Your process never executes a single instruction in user-space.

A: No stack frame is created then it means there is some problem occurs before entry point.
Please tell me whether the file is linked with any library modules like libc because they will provide initial setup to call our entry point function.
Use gdb and make breakpoint at _start. If you don't linked with library then the task of setting up stack, arguments, environment will be your responsibility.

CACFP reimburses participating centers and day care homes for serving nutritious meals. It is administered at the Federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Iowa Department of Education administers CACFP in Iowa. The State agency approves sponsoring organizations and independent centers to operate the Program at the local level. The State also monitors the Program and provides guidance and assistance to ensure requirements are met. Sponsoring organizations play a critical role in supporting day care home providers and/or centers through training, technical assistance, and monitoring. Several types of organizations are approved by the State agency to serve as home or center sponsors, including community action agencies, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and churches. Centers may operate independently, but all day care homes must come into the Program under a sponsoring organization.
CACFP is the Child and Adult Care Food Program, a Federal program that provides reimbursement for serving healthy meals and snacks to children and adults receiving day care. Each day more than 3.2 million children and almost 112,000 older adults participate in CACFP. Through CACFP, participants' nutritional needs are supported on a daily basis. The Program plays a vital role in improving the quality of day care and making it more affordable for many low - income families. In addition to day care, CACFP helps make after school programs more appealing to at - risk children and youth. After school centers that serve meals and snacks draw students into constructive activities that are safe, fun, and filled with learning opportunities . Children who are homeless or from temporarily displaced families can also receive up to three meals each day through emergency shelters that operate the Program.
Adults age 60 and older enrolled in an adult day care center and functionally impaired adult participants in day care or emergency shelters.
Breakfast requires of a serving of milk, fruit or vegetable, and grains or bread.
Lunch and Supper require milk, grains or bread, meat or meat alternate, and two different servings of fruits and/or vegetables.
Snacks require two different servings of the four components: milk, fruits or vegetables, grains or bread, or meat or meat alternate.
Infants follow a separate meal pattern.
Many different facilities operate CACFP, all sharing the common goal of serving nutritious meals and snacks to participants.
Child Care Centers Licensed or approved public or private nonprofit child care centers, Head Start programs, and some for - profit centers serving meals to large numbers of low -income children.
Day Care Homes Small groups of children receive nonresidential day care in DHS registered private homes.
"At -Risk" Afterschool Care Programs Centers in low -income areas provide free meals and snacks to school -age children and youth.
Homeless Shelters Emergency shelters provide temporary shelter and food services to homeless children.
Adult Day Care Centers Public, private nonprofit, and some for -profit adult day care facilities provide structured, comprehensive services to functionally impaired nonresident adults.

Q: Can't change log level at runtime (log4j2) I'm using log4j2 and trying to change the log level at runtime. I've seen other similar posts here and here but still can't get it to work
Here is my code:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
        Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(LogManager.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).getName());

        LoggerContext ctx = (LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
        Configuration config = ctx.getConfiguration();
        LoggerConfig loggerConfig = config.getLoggerConfig(LogManager.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).getName());

        loggerConfig.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);
        ctx.updateLoggers(config);

        log.trace("trace");
        log.debug("debug");
        log.info("info");

        loggerConfig.setLevel(Level.TRACE);
        ctx.updateLoggers(config);

        log.trace("trace");
        log.debug("debug");
        log.info("info");
    }
}

The log level is set to INFO in the config file. The console output is:
info
info

UPDATE
I've realised that the log level is successfully changing in the log file but not in the console.
Here is a snippet from the config file in case it helps:
<Configuration status="info">
<Loggers>
    <Root level="debug">
        <AppenderRef ref="Console" level="INFO" />
        <AppenderRef ref="LogFile" />
    </Root>
</Loggers>

A: The attribute level on an appender is a filter for the appender : all log with lower levels are not considered by this appender, but it is not the level of the logger
Remove the filter on console appender and keep only the level on the logger should work fine
