Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi is an American Buddhist monk from New York City, born in 1944. He obtained a BA in philosophy from Brooklyn College and a PhD in philosophy from Claremont Graduate School. After completing his university studies he traveled to Sri Lanka, where he received novice ordination in 1972 and full ordination in 1973, both under the leading Sri Lankan scholar-monk, Ven. Balangoda Ananda Maitreya (1896-1998). From 1984 to 2002 he was the editor for the Buddhist Publication Society in Kandy, where he lived for ten years with the senior German monk, Ven. Nyanaponika Thera (1901-1994), at the Forest Hermitage. He returned to the U.S. in 2002. He currently lives and teaches at Chuang Yen Monastery in Carmel, New York. Ven. Bodhi has many important publications to his credit, either as author, translator, or editor. These include The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha (Majjhima Nikaya, 1995), The Connected Discourses of the Buddha (Samyutta Nikaya, 2000), and The Numerical Discourses of the Buddha (Anguttara Nikaya, 2012). In 2008, together with several of his students, Ven. Bodhi founded Buddhist Global Relief, a nonprofit supporting hunger relief, sustainable agriculture, and education in countries suffering from chronic poverty and malnutrition.

The mind can be a potent tool, used to guide extraordinary achievements, inspire good works, and incline your spiritual path toward peace and awakening. But the mind can also produce thoughts that lead to suffering. For many people, thoughts run rampant and seem to oppress or control their lives. Even the Buddha tells us that before his enlightenment, he sometimes found his mind preoccupied by thoughts connected with sensual desire, ill will, and harm. But he figured out how to respond to thoughts skillfully and developed a step-by-step approach to calm the restless mind. Now, Insight Meditation teacher Shaila Catherine offers an accessible approach to training the mind that is guided by the Buddha's pragmatic instructions on removing distracting thoughts. Drawing on two scriptures in the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, Shaila shows you how to overcome habitual modes of thinking, develop deeper concentration, and discover the insights into emptiness that are vital for a liberating spiritual path.
Following the Buddha's pragmatic approach, Shaila guides you through five steps for overcoming distraction and focusing the mind:
Replace unwholesome thoughts with wholesome thoughts.
Examine the dangers of distracting thoughts.
Avoid it, ignore it, forget it.
Investigate the causes of distraction.
Apply determination and resolve.
Each chapter includes exercises and reflections to help you cultivate the five steps to deeper concentration. You'll learn about your mind and develop your ability to direct your attention more skillfully in meditation and daily activities. And ultimately, you'll discover for yourself how these five steps boil down to one key realization: In the moment you recognize that a thought is just a thought, you will find yourself on the path to a life of remarkable freedom.
The Kṣaṇabhaṇgasiddhi is a masterpiece of skillful reasoning by the eleventh-century Indian Buddhist philosopher Ratnakīrti. This renowned scholar taught at the great Buddhist University of Vikramaśīla and was a master of almost every classical philosophical school that preceded him.
The present work is informed by centuries of debate between Buddhist advocates of momentariness and archrival Nyāya philosophers who believed that both selves and things endure.
This book is the first published translation of Ratnakīrti's proof based on positive correlations, and includes a commentary explaining each step of his reasoning.
This rare teaching by Rinpoché is a uniquely concise volume of the teachings of the path to liberation that is authentic, authoritative, and complete.
In Liberation from Samsara, the Fourth Kyabjé Dodrupchen Rinpoché presents the Longchen Nyingthik preliminary teachings, with a special focus on guru yoga. These teachings, from the innermost secret instruction of Dzogchen, constitute a complete path to enlightenment.
After discussing the ways to turn our mind toward Dharma and the trainings, Rinpoché provides guru yoga instruction as he turns to the main tantric practice: meditations on unifying one's mind with Guru Rinpoché's wisdom mind. This rare teaching by Rinpoché, though intentionally succinct to accommodate the needs of contemporary Western practitioners, presents a complete path to enlightenment. It contrasts three different paths to liberation: Shravakayana (the way of the disciple), Pratyekabuddhayana (the way of the self-enlightened buddha), and Mahāyāna (the way of the bodhisattva), which is our way, our boundless intention to seek refuge in order to free all sentient beings from samsaric suffering.
Energize your practice with the potent energy of mantra.
In this book, beloved teacher Lama Zopa Rinpoche guides us through the most popular mantras in Tibetan Buddhism: Shakyamuni Buddha, Chenrezig, Manjushri, Tara, Medicine Buddha, Vajrasattva, and more.
A mantra—literally "that which protects the mind"—is a series of Sanskrit syllables that evoke the energy of a particular buddha or bodhisattva. It works as a sacred sound that brings blessings to ourself and others, and as a tool to transform our mind into one that is more compassionate and wise.
In clear and succinct teachings, Lama Zopa shows us why we need different mantras and how each mantra works. He also explains their importance and power, giving specific instructions for practicing them. The exquisite, full-color illustrations of the deities that accompany the text make this book a beautiful guide, one suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
The Wisdom Culture Series, published under the guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, features translations of key works by masters of the Geluk tradition. Also available in the Wisdom Culture Series, Tsongkhapa's Middle-Length Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.
The Universal Vehicle Discourse Literature (Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra) was transmitted from the bodhisattva Maitreyanātha to Āryā Āsaṅga, the fourth-century Indian Buddhist scholar-adept. The most foundational of the set of the famous Five Teachings of Maitreya, the Discourse Literature is considered the wellspring of what the Tibetans call the "magnificent deeds trend of the path," the compassion side, which balances the "profound view trend of the path," the wisdom side. The Discourse Literature is also considered to be metaphysically aligned with and foundational for the Idealist (Vijñānavādin) school of Mahāyāna thought. Translated from Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese by Lobsang Jamspal, Robert Thurman, and the AIBS team, the present work contains a fully annotated, critical English rendition of the Discourse Literature along with its commentary (bhāṣya) by Āsaṅga's brother, Vasubandhu. It also includes an introduction covering essential historical and philosophical topics, a bibliography, and a detailed index. This long-awaited work is the founding cornerstone of the AIBS Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences series.
Over the course of nearly half a century, Robert A. F. Thurman has left an indelible mark on numerous fields of study, including Buddhist literature, Tantric Buddhism, Tibetan studies, and the comparative sciences of mind. To celebrate his seventieth birthday, Thurman's students and colleagues have come together to pay tribute to these contributions and to Thurman's ongoing leadership in these fields by assembling a collection of essays of their own that extend and supplement his groundbreaking research.
In Vimalakīrti's House is the result of this collaboration and represents a broad spectrum of cutting edge studies in areas central to Thurman's own scholarly project. The resulting volume is itself a kind of "treasury of the Buddhist sciences," insofar as its authors explore wide-ranging problems in art, literature, epistemology, history, ritual, buddhology, and lexicography.
Tsong Khapa's Great Treatise on the Stages of Mantra (Sngags rim chen mo)—considered by the present Dalai Lama to be one of Tsong Khapa's two most important books (along with his Lam rim chen mo)—is his masterful synthesis of the principles and practices of all four classes of Tantra, which formed the basis of his innovation in creating the esoteric "Tantric College" institution and curriculum in the early fifteenth century. With detailed reference to hundreds of works from the Tibetan Kangyur and Tengyur, the chapters presented and studied in this volume concern his treatment of the creation stage (bskyed rim) meditations of Unexcelled Yoga Tantra. This includes a detailed analysis emphasizing how and why such creation stage practices—utilizing deity yoga to transform death, the between, and life into the three bodies of buddhahood are indispensible to creating a foundation for successfully entering the culminal yogic practices of the perfection stage. (A subsequent volume will present the perfection stage chapters of this essential masterwork.)
An important work for both scholars and practitioners, this annotated translation is supplemented with extensive support materials.
Presented here in English for the first time is a set of three of Saraha's "Adamantine Songs" (Skt. Vajragīti; Tib. rdo rje'i glu), poetic works that play a central role in the Great Seal (mahāmudrā) tantric tradition of both India and Tibet. The tantric adept (siddha) Saraha was among the most notable figures from India's late first millennium, a time of rich religious and literary activity. His influence on Buddhist practice and poetry extended beyond the Indian subcontinent into Tibet, where it continues to affect every tradition that engages the practice and philosophy of the esoteric Great Seal.
In these songs, Saraha's views on the nature of mind are presented as both evocative poetry and theoretical exegesis. These songs offer a new perspective on the religious life of Buddhist India and the figure of one of its most famous adepts.
Braitstein opens the door to this important set of texts by Saraha through her elegant translation, critical edition of the Tibetan texts, and in-depth analysis of the three poems. She situates Saraha and his work both in the Tibetan Buddhist sphere and in a broader South Asian literary and religious context, closely treating the central themes in Saraha's poems, highlighting the specific siddha worldview espoused in his oeuvre, and at the same time unpacking the cryptic references contained in the songs' individual verses. With this book, Braitstein substantially increases the amount of Saraha's poetry available to an English-speaking audience and contributes to the ever-increasing movement to explore the culture of the tantric adepts.
The Reason Sixty is the most concise philosophical work by the second-century Indian Buddhist philosopher Nāgārjuna. It is one of that master's works most often cited by Centrist (Madhyamaka) commentators, and it is included in the Sixfold Canon of Reason (rigs tshogs drug) which forms the textual basis for Centrist studies in the Tibetan philosophical curriculum. Standing midway between his other masterpieces on philosophy and religion, in the Reason Sixty Nāgārjuna describes the central thrust of his therapeutic philosophy of language—the elimination of cognitive bias and affective resistances to the gradual cultivation of nondualistic wisdom and compassion.
The seventh-century Centrist master Chandrakīrti, concerned with applying his language therapeutic method to define the social epistemology of Centrism, likewise links the critical hermeneutic-pedagogy and the practical therapeutic-anthropology of his other works in his acclaimed Reason Sixty Commentary.
Includes detailed introductory essays, annotated translations, critical Tibetan editions, trilingual glossary, intellectual-historical and biographical tables, bibliography, and index.
In the forty-five years the Buddha spent traversing northern India, he shared his wisdom with everyone from beggar women to kings. Hundreds of his discourses, or sutras, were preserved by his followers, first orally and later in written form. Around thirteen hundred years after the Buddha's enlightenment, the sutras were translated into the Tibetan language, where they have been preserved ever since. To date, only a fraction of these have been made available in English. Questioning the Buddha brings the reader directly into the literary treasure of the Tibetan canon with thoroughly annotated translations of twenty-five different sutras. Often these texts, many translated here in full for the first time, begin with an encounter in which someone poses a question to the Buddha.
Peter Skilling, an authority on early Buddhist epigraphy, archaeology, and textual traditions, has been immersed in the Buddhist scriptures of diverse traditions for nearly half a century. In this volume, he draws on his deep and extensive research to render these ancient teachings in a fresh and precise language. His introduction is a fascinating history of the Buddhist sutras, including the transition from oral to written form, the rise of Mahayana literature, the transmission to Tibet, the development of canons, and a look at some of the pioneers of sutra study in the West.
Sutras included in this volume are: Four Dharmas Not to Be Taken for Granted; The Benefits of Giving; The Exposition of Four Dharmas; The Merit of the Three Refuges; Four Dharmas Never to Be Abandoned; Advice for Bodhisatva Dharmaketu; Advice for Bodhisatva Jayamati; Sūtra Comparing Bodhicitta to Gold; Bodhisatva Maitreya's Question about the Gift of the Dharma; Four Summaries of the Dharma Spoken to the Nāga King Sāgara; The Stanza of Dependent Arising; The Heart Formula of Dependent Arising; Prediction of the Boy Brahmaśrī's Future Buddhahood; Kṣemavatī's Prediction to Future Buddhahood; The City Beggar Woman; An Old Woman's Questions about Birth and Death; The Questions of Śrīmatī the Brahman Woman; The Questions of the Laywoman Gaṅgottarā; Brahmā Sahāṃpati's Question; Advice to King Prasenajit; Passage to the Next Life; Instructions for King Bimbisāra; Instructions for King Udayana; Buddhas as Rare as a Grain of Golden Sand; and Predictions on the Eve of the Great Final Nirvāṇa.

Courageous Compassion, the sixth volume of the Library of Wisdom and Compassion, continues the Dalai Lama's teachings on the path to awakening. The previous volume, In Praise of Great Compassion, focused on opening our hearts with love and compassion for all living beings, and the present volume explains how to embody compassion and wisdom in our daily lives. Here we enter a fascinating exploration of bodhisattvas' activities across multiple Buddhist traditions—Tibetan, Theravāda, and Chinese Buddhism.
After explaining the ten perfections according to the Pāli and Sanskrit traditions, the Dalai Lama presents the sophisticated schema of the four paths and fruits for śrāvakas and solitary realizers and the five paths for bodhisattvas. Learning about the practices mastered by these exalted practitioners inspires us with knowledge of our minds' potential. His Holiness also describes buddha bodies, what buddhas perceive, and buddhas' awakening activities.
Courageous Compassion offers an in-depth look at bodhicitta, arhatship, and buddhahood that you can continuously refer to as you progress on the path to full awakening.
The Lamp for Integrating the Practices (Caryāmelāpakapradīpa) by Āryadeva, is a systematic and comprehensive exposition of the most advanced yogas of the Esoteric Community Tantra (Guhyasamāja-tantra) as espoused by the Noble (Nāgārjuna) tradition, an influential school of interpretation within Indian Buddhist mysticism. Equal in authority to Nāgārjuna's famous Five Stages (Pañcakrama), Āryadeva's work is perhaps the earliest prose example of the "stages of the mantra path" genre in Sanskrit. Its systematic path exerted immense influence on later Indian and Tibetan traditions, and it is widely cited by masters from all four major lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.
This volume presents the Lamp in a thoroughly annotated English translation. It includes an introductory study discussing the history of the Guhyasamāja and its exegetical traditions, surveying the scriptural and commentarial sources of the Nāgārjuna tradition, and analyzing in detail the contents of the Lamp. The book also features a detailed, trilingual glossary.
Simultaneously presented online for scholars are a version of its Sanskrit original, critically edited from recently identified manuscripts, and a critical edition of the eleventh-century Tibetan translation by Rinchen Zangpo, including notes on readings found in "lost," alternative translations.
Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), author of the well-known Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment and guru to the First Dalai Lama, is renowned as perhaps Tibet's greatest scholar-saint. A dozen years after writing his Great Treatise, he wrote the Middle-Length Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, presented here in its first complete English translation.
Less than half the length of the Great Treatise, this work similarly presents a systematic overview of the Buddha's teachings. Tsongkhapa begins by abridging the longer work, distilling its meditations for quicker integration. After recognizing the rarity of our human existence and the great opportunities it affords, he follows with reflections on impermanence, suffering, and the promise of liberation from our past actions, proceeding then to the path of bodhisattvas, whose universal compassion seeks to free every being from suffering. Tsongkhapa gives especially detailed instructions on śamatha, the deep meditative concentration that is a precondition for the highest insight into the nature of reality. The final and largest section, on that very insight, is unique to this work, particularly Tsongkhapa's presentation of conventional truth and ultimate truth. Beginners and longtime practitioners alike will cherish the clear guidance from one of Tibet's great luminaries.
The Wisdom Culture Series, published under the guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, features translations of key works by masters of the Geluk tradition. Also available in the Wisdom Culture Series, Lama Zopa Rinpoche's The Power of Mantra.
In The Dharma of Poetry, John Brehm shows how poems can open up new ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world. Brehm demonstrates the practice of mindfully entering a poem, with an alertness, curiosity, and open-hearted responsiveness very much like the attention we cultivate in meditation. Complete with poetry-related meditations and writing prompts, this collection of lively, elegantly written essays can be read as a standalone book or as a companion to the author's acclaimed anthology The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy.
This volume is a translation of the first twelve chapters of The Glorious Esoteric Community Great King of Tantras (Śrī Guhyasamāja Mahā-tantra-rāja), along with the commentary called The Illuminating Lamp (Pradīpoddyotana-nāma-ṭīkā), a commentary in Sanskrit on this tantra by the seventh-century Buddhist intellectual and tantric scholar-adept Chandrakīrti. Regarded by Indo-Tibetan tradition as the esoteric scripture wherein the Buddha revealed in greatest detail the actual psycho-physical process of his enlightenment, The Esoteric Community Tantra is a preeminent text of the class of scriptures known to Indian Buddhist scholar-adepts as great yoga tantra, and later to their Tibetan successors as unexcelled yoga tantra. The Illuminating Lamp presents a system of interpretive guidelines according to which the cryptic meanings of all tantras might be extracted in order to engage the ritual and yogic practices taught therein. Applying its interpretive strategies to the text of The Esoteric Community Tantra, The Illuminating Lamp articulates a synthetic, "vajra vehicle" (vajrayāna) discourse that locates tantric practices and ideals squarely within the cosmological and institutional frameworks of exoteric Mahāyāna Buddhism.
Brilliantly translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi, this anthology of suttas from the Saṃyutta Nikāya takes us straight to the heart of the Buddha's teaching on liberation through the four noble truths and the noble eightfold path—the two mainstays of Buddhist doctrine that illuminate the nature of things by generating direct insight into the teachings. These suttas all pertain to the ultimate good, the attainment of nibbāna or liberation. They illuminate the Buddha's radical diagnosis of the human condition—and more broadly, the condition of all sentient existence—in light of the four noble truths. They underscore the pervasive flaws inherent in the round of rebirths, trace our existential predicament to its deepest roots, and lay out the path to unraveling our bondage and winning irreversible release. Ven. Bodhi arranged the chapters, each with its own introduction, to provide an overview of the Dhamma that mirrors the four noble truths, thus enabling students of Early Buddhism to see into the heart of the Buddha's teachings as directly and clearly as possible.
For those interested in the Pāli language, Bhikkhu Bodhi provides linguistic and grammatical explanations of the suttas included in this book in his Reading the Buddha's Discourses in Pāli.
A new book of poems, quotations, reflections, and stories from the author of one of the most beloved books on grief & loss.
This book is a companion to carry with you throughout your day, to touch in with and be supported by when bearing the unbearable pain of a loved one's death—whether weeks or years since their passing.
In the style of a quote-a-day collection, this book from Wisdom's bestselling author Joanne Cacciatore distills down the award-winning book Bearing the Unbearable into easy-to-access small chunks, and includes much brand-new material, including new prose and poems from Dr. Jo and other sources.
If you love, you will grieve—and nothing is more mysteriously central to becoming fully human.
Our culture often makes the bereaved feel alone, isolated, broken, and like they should just "get over it"—this book offers a loving antidote.
Open to any page of Grieving Is Loving and you'll find something that will instantly help you feel not alone, while honoring the full weight of loss.
This book is comprised of quotations from Bearing the Unbearable, and other sources as well, plus an enormous amount of new material from Dr. Jo. Especially well-suited for the grieving mind that may struggle with concentration, just 30 seconds on any page will empower, hearten, and validate any bereaved person—helping give strength and courage to bear life's most painful losses.
"Grieving Is Loving is a wise, moving, and compassionate book. Reading it brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of the loss of loved ones 30 and 45 years ago. Not only should its message be read and internalized by those suffering the loss of a beloved, but also by those with friends who have lost or are likely to lose someone in the future—in other words, by everyone."
—Irving Kirsch, PhD, Harvard Medical School, University of Connecticut, University of Hull, author of The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth
This work is perhaps the most influential explanation of Candrakirti's seventh-century classic Entering the Middle Way (Madhyamakavatara).
Written as a supplement to Nagarjuna's Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way, Candrakirti's text integrates the central insight of Nagarjuna's thought—the rejection of any metaphysical notion of intrinsic existence—with the well-known Mahayana framework of the ten levels of the bodhisattva, and it became the most studied presentation of Madhyamaka thought in Tibet.
Completed the year before the author's death, Tsongkhapa's exposition of Candrakirti's text is recognized by the Tibetan tradition as the final standpoint of Tsongkhapa on many philosophical questions, particularly the clear distinctions it draws between the standpoints of the Madhyamaka and Cittamatra schools.
Written in exemplary Tibetan, Tsongkhapa's work presents a wonderful marriage of rigorous Madhyamaka philosophical analysis with a detailed and subtle account of the progressively advancing mental states and spiritual maturity realized by sincere Madhyamaka practitioners.
The work remains the principal textbook for the study of Indian Madhyamaka philosophy in many Tibetan monastic colleges, and it is a principal source for many Tibetan teachers seeking to convey the intricacies of Madhyamaka philosophy to non-Tibetan audiences.
Though it is often cited and well known, this is the first full translation of this key work in a Western language.

Yippee! Uni finished today - ive just travelled the 200 mile distance home, and i have 5 weeks off!
take out of that 80 hours of cousework and an estimated 100 hours of exam revision - and there are a few hours left!


Today in How to Get Battlepacks in Battlefield 1, we will show you how you can get Battlepacks is this action packed first person shooter game, Battlefield 1. Battlepack system has changed a lot from Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. But from the first look, it does seem to be a good improvement overall.
Battlepacks will now focus almost completely on customization, you will get rewarded with Battlepacks randomly after certain matches. And every time you open a Battlepack you will get a weapon skin, that's guaranteed. The weapon skins come in three rarity; Special, Distinguished and Legendary. So now the question is, how can you get Battlepacks in Battlefield 1?
Before we tell you how to get plenty of Battlepacks, you should know one more thing about the Battlepacks. Aside from weapon skins, there's a chance that a Battlepack might contain a piece of a craftable melee weapon. You will need to collect all the pieces of a certain melee weapon to unlock it in the game.
And apparently beyond weapon skins and melee weapon parts, there's another item that you can get from Battlepacks. But DICE aren't officially telling us what that is yet.
The normal or basic way to get Battlepacks in the game is by playing the multiplayer. But remember one thing that you have to complete and finish your matches in order to get Battlepacks, more XP and XP multipliers. You will not get Battlepacks after every match, but if you play well and end up in top 3 spot you will get it. Our experience was with the Battlepacks is that you have to play better in your matches. You can get a Battlepack at lower score but it is pretty rare.
The second way to get Battlepacks in Battlefield 1 is to to buy them. Yes, you can buy Battlepacks in the game with in-game currency called Scrap. When you open Battlepacks you will get two options. You can either keep the skin or turn these skins into Scrap by trading them.
When you have a good amount of Scraps, then you can buy Battlepacks without having to wait for to randomly given to you as a post match reward. As a post match reward you will only get normal Battlepacks. If you want to get Enhanced or Superior Battlepacks you will have to buy them using Scraps.
You can get Distinguished weapon skins from Enhanced Battlepacks. But if you want Legendary weapon Skins then you have to save a lot more Scraps to buy Superior Battlepacks. Now, if you want plenty of Battlepacks in the game you have to play the multiplayer and get as many regular Battlepacks as possible and then trade them for scraps to buy Superior Battlepacks.
You can read our Top 10 Battlefield 1 Multiplayer Tips guide to be a better player in your multiplayer matches. So, just keep playing the game, earn Battlepacks turn then into Scraps and buy Enhanced/Superior Battlepacks and the cycle then just continues round and round.
Battlepacks that you earn through the game or buy with your Scraps, will have different Revisions. They will have different list of skins and these Revisions will be rotated regularly so you don't keep opening the same pack and getting the skins for your weapons every single time.
So you can save your scraps and wait for the next revision to come in with different skins and other cool items. You may get the skin that you've been waiting for so long in these revisions.
This revision system is pretty good. Now you can keep the stuff you want, scrap the stuff that you don't and you can save Scrap to buy different Battlepacks as well.

Ayushmann Khurranas Bala in trouble again as a filmmaker lodges a police complaint for plagiarism
Ayushmann Khurrana who is currently riding high on the response he has received for the trailer of his next Article 15 is facing heat by an assistant director who has pressed charges of plagiarism on Ayushmann, director Amar Kaushik and producer Dinesh Vijan. The assistant director Kamal Kant Chandra, has lodged a complaint against the actor and the makers of Bala for starting the shoot of the film despite him taking objection over its script. Kamal Kant stated that he had registered the script of tales of a balding man much before Ayushmanns film was announced and therefore, he has now filed a case against the makers for under Section 420 (cheating) and 406 (breach of trust). He added the cheating charge because according to him, Kaushik and Khurrana started with the shooting before the verdict of the court came out. Ayushmanns counsel told media in a statement, What has been communicated to you is a malafide distortion of actual facts specially with regard to the proceedings of April 9, 2019. In fact, Mr. Chandra also moved the Bombay High court in vacation (May 29) in this regard and was not granted any relief. In any event as the matter is subjudice and since the next date of hearing is June 10, 2019 we are not commenting any further. Our script is original and we will show that to the court when the matter comes up.

Dolphin Tale: Movie Review
Dolphin Tale 2: Movie Review
"Dolphin Tale" Hopes to Make Waves
Rated PG for mild thematic elements.
Drama, Kids/Family
Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Kris Kristofferson, Nathan Gamble, Austin Stowell, Austin Highsmith, Kurt Yaeger, Cozi Zuehlsdorff
Charles Martin Smith
Hannah Goodwyn
It's not Free Willy meets Flipper. Warner Bros.'s new family movie, opening this weekend, is about a dolphin and focuses on a young, troubled boy and his sea mammal friend. But, that's where the plot decidedly goes in its own direction. Inspired by a true story, Dolphin Tale is an inspiring film for kids and grown ups too.
Director Charles Martin Smith's film has its drippy moments and doesn't go quite as deep as the emotionally intense Free Willy, but that's what makes it a kid-friendly movie. It's still engaging, funny, hits home the importance of family, and doesn't contain questionable content.
THE MOVIE IN A MINUTE
Sawyer's life is an unhappy and lonely one until he finds a friend in an injured dolphin he helps to rescue. Taken to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, the dolphin, soon named Winter, struggles to survive. The prognosis is dire, especially after the hospital's lead marine biologist Dr. Clay Haskett (played by Harry Connick, Jr.) amputates her tail. Sawyer (Nathan Gamble) and the rest of the CMH team work around the clock, hoping for a turnaround. Desperate for a miracle, Sawyer reaches out to Dr. McCarthy (Morgan Freeman), a prosthetic specialist, to create a groundbreaking contraption that will allow Winter to swim, in effect, saving her life.
GOOD V. BAD IN DOLPHIN TALE
Starring Harry Connick, Jr., Ashley Judd (as Sawyer's mom), Morgan Freeman, and Kris Kristofferson, Dolphin Tale has a good cast telling a remarkably true story of restoration. The film's youngest stars, Nathan Gamble and Cozi Zuehlsdorff, pull their weight as well. In fact, these two notable actors prove their skill in the story's dramatic and comedic scenes.
What's even more moving than the film itself are the videos shown during the ending credits of the amateur video of Winter being rescued from the beach and the disabled men, women, and children who have visited Winter in Florida, and left inspired and filled with hope for their futures.
A family-friendly movie, Dolphin Tale has a PG rating for mild thematic elements. The stand-out obscenity is part of a Jason Mraz song used in the film. Young children may get distraught over seeing the dolphin in peril. But these scenes are tastefully done by the director, making the film, for the most part, suitable for all ages.
For what it is, a movie about two friends who wouldn't give up on each other, this new movie from Warner Bros. is one to see. Dolphin Tale, though it won't win any critical awards, hits all the right buttons for a good family film.
This movie critic's one complaint against Dolphin Tale… 3D glasses. Why is it necessary to don this uncomfortable eyewear to see a movie in the theaters these days?

< The 'Shroom:Issue 167
Staff Notes
Written by: Hooded Pitohui (talk), Roserade (talk), and Ninja Squid (talk)
Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! 2021 is moving along at a brisk pace, it seems, at least in this community. There's been a fair bit of activity around here, and talk of plenty more. Over on the forums, our resident Statistics Director, Ninja Squid (talk), just wrapped up his Rogues in Rogueport Mafia game (I played the game myself, and, even ending up on the losing side, I have to say it was a good, fun time), and I hear there's plans for a few more Mafia games in the works. Folks are talking about KGs and playing videogames together, too.
With all this talk of hosting games and events, I don't think this announcement could have come at a better time. The 'Shroom is no stranger to hosting events and planning activities for the community, and we plan on doing just those things throughout this year. If we're going to plan games and events, though, we need to know what our readers and members of this community want! To that end, we've prepared a short Feedback Survey for this issue that will help us get a better idea of the events you'd like to participate in. Please, as you read through this month's issue, take some time to answer the two questions included in the survey so we can better design events for all of you through 2021 and beyond.
Now, after all that talk about planning future events, maybe we should turn our eyes to the present. You know we have the 'Shroomfest coming up next month, but we have an event for all of you to participate in this month, too! I'll hand it over to Roserade and let him tell you about it. After all, I need to get my camera ready.
Before I go, however, I want to take a moment to wish our Pipe Plaza Director, Zange (talk) a speedy recovery and minimal discomfort! She's currently ill, but our best wishes go out to her.
—Hooded Pitohui, Director
Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! Welcome up to the Director's office, where I'm in the Valentine's Day spirit. Regardless of whether you had a Valentine's this year, I hope you've felt the love from your friends and family. After all, every form of love deserves to be celebrated.
I've got some exciting news to share for this issue! Our resident Photo Contest Holder, Lord Bowser (talk), is hosting another competition for this month! That's right, with the recent (re)release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury comes a new photo-hunting opportunity! If you've got the game in hand, look to the Photo Contest page for more information. We hope to see your submissions soon!
Alright, that's all the time I've got for this month, because I've got to clean up the office. I may have gotten a little bit too much into the Valentine's Day spirit, and thrown candies all over the floor... I thought it would be a great idea! Everywhere you go, look down and see messages such as "UR SWEET", "UR A CUTIE", and "I LOVE YOU". Unfortunately, not everybody knew about the candies, and now they're just a bunch of dust. My bad.
Where's Luingenium and his Poltergust when you need him...
—Roserade, Sub-Director
Staff Section of the Month for January 2021
STAFF-VOTED SECTION OF THE MONTH
Anton's Half-Baked Reviews Hypnotoad (talk) Anton's decision to break his reviews into smaller chunks, sorted by brand, makes the section much more digestible and is something larger review sections should emulate. Don't jump around. Make sure there's a consistent, logical ordering of some kind, and that major shifts are clearly demarcated. His headings and subheadings make it extremely easy to follow the section without any temptation to skip over text or room to lose focus.
Mach Speed Mayhem Superchao (talk) The section settled into a style that worked for it long ago, and it continues to work for it. It's a good reminder, too, that you don't need to overdo the subheadings. You know with the section that vehicle information will always come at the end of the main series section and the anime-continuity games always come at the end of the GP Legend series section. It's a good model of organization and consistency for other long-term sections to follow.
Rose's Quarantine Reviews Roserade (talk) The sheer randomness of the items reviewed, yet the reviews still be relevant and informing about the items, makes for a fun and enjoyable read.
'Shroom FM MrConcreteDonkey (talk) A nice cherry on top of an excellent year of reviews, tying up 2020 with a wonderfully concise, yet informative, view of MCD's top picks for music. We like the latter half especially, which goes into more detail of the best, worst, and could be better.
TV Tomorrow Quizmelon (talk) The section is very self-aware of its 'Shroom status and its tropes this month, and is doing so in a very humorous way. We appreciate the fourth-wall breaking humour of this section.
Congratulations to all of our writers for their amazing work!

IMO SUB-COMMITTEE ON RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS AND SEARCH AND RESCUE, 17th SESSION 21 – 25 JANUARY 2013
Kuba Szymanski, January 27, 2013 January 27, 2013
The IMO's Sub-Committee on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue (COMSAR) held its 17th session from Monday 21 through Friday 25 January 2013 under the Chairmanship of Mr C Salgado (CHILE); the Vice-Chairman, Mr Ringo Lakeman (NETHERLANDS) was also present. Given the imminent re-organisation and probable merging of some IMO sub-committees later this year, re-elections of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of COMSAR were carried out for 2013 only. Following a welcoming address by the Secretary-General of IMO in which notably, he re-iterated his determination to halve the number of marine casualties by 2015 and stressed the importance of the Sub-Committees re-structuring, the meeting agenda was adopted. Three working groups (WGs) were formed:
WG1	Search and Rescue matters, chaired by Mr N. Clifford (NEW ZEALAND)
WG2	Technical matters, chaired by Mr A Schwarz (GERMANY)
WG3	e-navigation and LRIT matters, chaired by Dr S Ryan (CANADA)
A Drafting Group was also formed to process the 'Development of a mandatory Polar Code', chaired by Mrs T Stemre (NORWAY).
Salient points from the meeting on items of particular interest to Intermanager members are as follows:
•	DEVELOPMENTS IN MARITIME RADIOCOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY. Noting the significant potential to confuse both seafarers and shore authorities, (including RCCs) on search planning and coverage procedures and processes to be carried out on receipt of reports of an AIS-SART signal, the ICAO / IMO Joint Working Group was instructed to develop detailed guidance on how administrations should respond
Further potential for confusion was noted with current AIS symbology where one symbol is used for more than one type of device, some of which constitute distress alerts within the GMDSS (EPIRB-AIS) and some which do not (AIS-SART, AIS-MOB). Given the critical importance of this issue in terms of Search and Rescue, Member Governments and International Organisations were invited to submit proposals on the matter of AIS symbology to NAV 59 or to the Correspondence Group established by NAV 58.
Currently available AIS-MOB devices are often mis-used on occasions for the routine location of people where there is no actual or potential SAR concern (eg surfacing divers giving their location to the dive tender for routine pickup). Such inappropriate use generates significant false alerts for some administrations, thus the ICAO / IMO Joint Working Group were tasked to provide further clarification and recommend possible action.
•	DEVELOPMENT OF A MANDATORY CODE FOR SHIPS OPERATING IN POLAR WATERS. The drafting group on the development of a mandatory Polar Code took into account proposals made in Plenary and those provided by the SAR and Technical Working Groups to finalise a consolidated response to DE 57 on parts of the Polar Code under the purview of COMSAR. Additionally, FRANCE will forward an input on medical equipment which is not included in COMSAR's submission.
•	DEVELOPMENT OF AN e-NAVIGATION STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN. NAV 58 re-established the Correspondence Group on e-navigation under the coordination of Norway and instructed it to take into account the revised joint plan of work for COMSAR, NAV and STW sub-committees. This included a list of potential e-navigation solutions most relevant to communications and search and rescue aspects. The document also contained information on cost-benefit assessment, the results of test beds and the outcome of two workshops related to e-navigation. Accordingly, the Sub-Committee took note of:
1.	the on-going process of risk and cost benefit assessment for e-navigation;
2.	a test bed satisfactorily conducted in Singapore to demonstrate the use of IHO S-100 standard to promulgate Maritime Safety information; and
3.	the comments and observations related to information exchange and communication in Polar and other remote regions, including the possibility of routeing e-navigation information through existing LRIT Data Centres (DC's) to facilitate the exchange of information between administrations and different shore-based stakeholders.
•	CONSIDERATION OF LRIT – RELATED MATTERS. A revision on Audits of LRIT Data Centres and of the International LRIT Data Exchange conducted by the LRIT Coordinator will be forwarded to MSC for approval. A future way of measuring the availability of Data Centres (DCs) will be sought to replace the current method of using System status messages contained in the IDE journal. WG3's recommendation that the provision of read-only access to the web interface of the LRIT Data Distribution Plan should be provided to GISIS users of Member Governments only and also the inclusion of information related to authorised testing Application Service Providers, was endorsed by the sub-committee. A draft resolution on Operations of the International LRIT Data Exchange after 2013 was also forwarded to MSC for approval. Finally, the European Commission observer informed the sub-committee that a new software release is expected at the end of 2013 which will increase the resilience of the IDE to attacks against its supporting infrastructure.
•	GLOBAL MARITIME DISTRESS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS (GMDSS). Discussion in Plenary acknowledged the added value of considering certain overarching principles based upon lessons learned from the existing GMDSS when performing the review and modernisation. It also was agreed that existing radiocommunication systems, established in domestic regulation of each State should be taken into account, especially for non-SOLAS ships such as those in domestic trade and fishing vessels. Following deliberation in the Technical Working Group (TWG), the Secretariat was instructed to prepare revised draft MSC Circulars on amendments to the relevant resolutions for approval at MSC 92. The TWG was also advised to take into account the need to clearly identify issues requiring further consideration by and advice from the Correspondence Group (co-ordinated by the United States) and the Joint IMO / ITU Expert group when preparing the draft high-level review of GMDSS.
•	ITU MARITIME RADIOCOMMUNICATION MATTERS. Following the TWG's recommendation, ICAO / IMO Joint Working Group was instructed to consider:
1.	the difficulty of switching off the EPIRB for a user, and the preferred cancellation procedure in case of an accidentally activated EPRIB; and
2.	in relation to preparing a draft IMO position on relevant agenda items for WRC-15, the matter of broadband public protection and disaster relief.
Japan expressed the view that additional frequencies for AIS will be needed in order to secure the smooth data exchange of AIS thus supporting an ITU study under WRC-15, Agenda item 1.16. Other AIS authorities of IMO Member governments were encouraged to submit the VHF data link situation in their countries to assist the study. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency provided information on a possible satellite VHF Data Exchange (VDE) downlink complement as part of the emerging VDE.
The validity of radiocommunications' equipment installed and used on ships was the subject of a draft MSC circular for approval at MSC92 whilst a ninth meeting of the IMO / ITU Expert Group on Maritime Radiocommunication matters will convene from 14 to 18 October 2013 and the tenth meeting, a year later.
•	CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPMENTS IN INMARSAT AND COSPAS-SARSAT. Member Governments were requested to take note of the issue of non-original equipment batteries being sold for use in COSPAS-SARSAT type-approved 406-MHz EPIRBs producing a reduced battery life and were urged to develop additional national measures to address the matter. Worryingly, instances of it are on the increase and also occurring in other equipment such as VHF communication equipment in AIS-SART.
The SAR Working Group recommended an examination of the features that drive consumption of battery life for relevance in the design of the next generation beacons whilst exploring trade-offs which minimise energy expenditure and maximise battery service life.
Next generation beacons are expected to be available from 2015 projecting the need to rationalise a potentially unnecessarily large number of different coding schemes.
•	SEARCH AND RESCUE (SAR). The target completion year for the planned output on the 'Development of guidelines on harmonised aeronautical and maritime search and rescue procedures, including SAR training matters' has been extended to 2014. With respect to global SAR, access has been made available for Member Governments to enter and update information on SAR services directly into 'The Global Integrated Shipping Information System' (GISIS) from IMO Docs on https://webaccounts.imo.org/
The establishment of MRCC's in all seven countries of Central America and a concomitant SAR organisation in which the individual countries will cooperate with their neighbours appears to be making sure progress.
COSPAS-SARSAT will be advised of the IMO's view on the future implementation of type-2 acknowledgements, type-2 messaging, other two-way messaging with beacons, and beacon manipulation noting that none of the current proposals are supported. However, the exploration of two-way technology is considered worthy of future detailed study. The Secretariat was instructed to add a column to the SAR.7 circular showing the list of IMO documents and publications which should be held by an MRCC, stating where the documents were available and whether they are available for download or purchase.
Concern was expressed regarding the advice provided by MSC 91 to manufacturers, to affix product labels to the AIS-SART, EPIRB-AIS and AIS Man Overboard equipment indicating that such devices must be regarded as location aids in emergency situations and not as distress alert systems. It was felt that this could cause confusion and therefore Member Governments and international organisation were asked to submit proposals on the development of further guidance. There were no proposals on measures of how to avoid false distress alerts.
•	DEVELOPMENT OF AMENDMENTS TO THE IAMSAR MANUAL. Proposed amendments to Volume II of the IAMSAR Manual were finalised for approval by MSC 95 in 2015 and their consequential inclusion in the 2016 edition. Approval for further meetings of the ICAO / IMO Joint Working Group in 2013 and 2014 will be requested of MSC.
•	REFORM OF THE SUBSIDIARY BODIES REPORTING TO MSC. The proposed amalgamation of the NAV and COMSAR Sub-Committees into one new sub-committee was supported in principle by the majority of those who spoke, provided that effectiveness and participation are not compromised. A clear preference was expressed to retain SAR issues with Radiocommunications, due to their close relationship, and for SAR issues to be addressed annually within any new sub-committee. There was a great deal of discussion on the provision of interpretation for plenary sessions and the extent of possible workload increase. Views expressed will be taken into account by the Secretary General and Secretariat in preparation of the detailed proposal requested by MSC 91 for consideration at MEPC 65 (13 – 17 May 2013) and MSC 92 (12 – 21 June 2013).
•	COSTA CONCORDIA. The Italian Coast Guard gave a short lunch-time presentation concerning the Costa Concordia salvage operation. There have been no marked changes since my last report but steady progress is evident.

Q: android crashes screen rotation I've been working on this ap for a client. We are pretty much ready to release it, but in testing I realize it crashes pretty much at any point onPause(), onResume() are called. Specifically getting a text, or rotating the screen. Or in some cases simply going between screens. Every time it gives me an out of memory error. So obviously the images for the background, buttons etc, are to blame, as they are the only elements that use any real amount of memory. So I've stripped it down to a completely bland application with just 2 buttons with images on it.
The buttons are 60k PNGs which have been optimized for mobile devices via photoshop.
I have done a lot of research, and spent time in #android-dev on freenode. I'm not seeing anything to fix this problem.
I process the background according to the documents on the android dev. This part is not in this code, but otherwise it would be immanently added to the onCreate() method as soon as I can get it to work with a blank ap with 2 buttons. (with the appropriate view)
currently not in the application, but will be added back
private void setNewPoolBackground() {
    setContentView(<FOO>);
    Bitmap image = getImage(R.drawable.background);
    Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(image);
    rLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById (<FOO>);
    rLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
}
private Bitmap getImage(int img) {
    BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    // The new size we want to scale to
    final int REQUIRED_SIZE = 70;
    // Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
    int width_tmp = o.outWidth, height_tmp = o.outHeight;
    int scale = 1;
    BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o2.inSampleSize = scale;
    while (true) {
        if (width_tmp / 2 < REQUIRED_SIZE || height_tmp / 2 < REQUIRED_SIZE)
            break;
        width_tmp /= 2;
        height_tmp /= 2;

A: OOM error is not an unexpected exception in android if we are playing with lot of bitmap and large images.Since android phones and tab come in many heap sizes its bit difficult to make it compactible with all the deveices.Most of the android devices have low heap memory.through code we can allocate it because we only have limited acess to clear the memory.After each process call the System.gc() and alocate the unused memory using garbagecollector.Still its not sure that all the unused memory is cleared.Recycle all the bitmaps after your usage bitmap.recycle().Also dont use many bitmaps in the app.Built an app with very less number of bitmaps,when you use it recycle it and use it again and again.
You can unbind all the drawables from the views when you leave an activity.
private void unbindDrawables(View view) {
        if (view.getBackground() != null) {
            try {
                view.getBackground().setCallback(null);
                ((BitmapDrawable) view.getBackground()).getBitmap().recycle();
                view.destroyDrawingCache();
                view.notifyAll();
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }

        }
        if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
            for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
                unbindDrawables(((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i));
            }
            ((ViewGroup) view).removeAllViews();
        }
    }

You can also deallocate all the unused memory through code..
public void clearAllocatedMemory() {
        try {
            List.removeAllViews();
            adapter.releaseAllMemory();
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        adapter = null;
    }

I think doing all these will allocate your memory to the maximum and you can reduce the chances of this exception.

A:    if your android:targetSdkVersion="12" or less
   add this in you each Activitiy declaration in manitest.xml
      android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">

      if your  android:targetSdkVersion="13" or more
     add this in you each Activitiy declaration in manitest.xml

COVID-19: Retention of Title, Mar 2020
Retention of Title Clauses in the Covid-19 Crisis
In the current economic climate and the challenges posed to many businesses, it is important for businesses dealing with the sale or supply of goods to review the key terms of contracts of sale of goods with customers and suppliers. Specifically, it is important to check the terms of retention of title clauses in such contracts.
What is a Retention of Title Clause?
A Retention of Title ("ROT") clause is a clause in the contract of sale of goods that prevents ownership of goods passing to the customer until the supplier has been paid in full. Without a valid ROT clause, title in the goods usually passes on delivery.
Application of ROT Clauses in Covid-19 Crisis
There are a very large number of businesses experiencing severe disruption due to temporary closures in response to restrictions imposed by government because of the Covid-19 crisis. This may result in some of these businesses, even in spite of support measures provided by banks and the State, experiencing severe cash flow difficulties. Some businesses may become insolvent in the short to medium term. The question then arises in relation to how goods held, for example, by retail businesses will be dealt with in such circumstances, particularly if a Receiver or Liquidator is appointed over the customer company.
Types of ROT Clauses
There are two main types of ROT clauses: a simple ROT clause and an all sums due clause. A simple ROT clause purports to reserve title in specific goods supplied until those goods are paid for. An all sums due clause usually provides that the supplier retains title to any and all goods supplied until all outstanding monies owed to the supplier have been discharged.
This simple ROT clause does not pose a difficulty if the goods supplied are readily identifiable and have not been mixed with or absorbed into other products, such as in the manufacturing process. The ROT clause is generally ineffective, however, where goods have been mixed, because the goods are no longer capable of identification as originally supplied.
If there is a valid claim under a ROT clause, this allows the supplier to stand outside of the liquidation or receivership and claim title over goods that would otherwise be deemed assets of the company. The supplier can thereby recover the goods that have not yet been paid for by the customer. Where the company is insolvent and a valid ROT clause exists, the goods should be returned to the supplier or paid for, otherwise a receiver or liquidator would run the risk of a claim in conversion by the unpaid supplier.
The supplier can also take steps to prevent any party dealing with the goods by way of an injunction. It is important to note that even though Court hearings are significantly curtailed at present, the Courts remain open to hear urgent matters and this includes injunctions and their enforcement.
If there is no valid and enforceable ROT clause, the supplier joins the list of unsecured creditors who will obviously find it more difficult to secure payment, if any, for the goods.
Even where a simple ROT clause purports to create proprietary rights in the manufactured product or follow the proceeds of sale of the goods supplied, difficulties may still arise because the Courts have tended to view these clauses as creating a charge over the goods. Where the customer is a limited company, such a charge should be registered pursuant to section 409 of the Companies Act 2014 to be effective. If it has not been registered as a charge, the clause or sub-clause, as the case may be, is void and cannot be relied upon on insolvency.
When can the ROT clause be invoked?
It is vital, particularly in the context of insolvency, to establish that the ROT clause forms part of the contract of supply. A receiver or liquidator may dispute the validity of the ROT clause where there appears to be any ambiguity. The onus is on the party attempting to rely on the ROT clause to show that it had been effectively incorporated into the contract. There must be evidence that the terms and conditions of sale and any alterations in terms had been brought to the attention of the other party during the contract or supply stage.
The law on retention of title can be quite complex with serious financial consequences for suppliers if ROTs clauses are incorrectly drafted and/or not properly incorporated into the contract of sale. Legal advice should be sought by suppliers when invoking ROT clauses particularly where claims are being made under complex ROT clauses. Equally, customers should seek legal advice when a supplier attempts to invoke a ROT clause and where the customer believes the ROT clause has not been validly incorporated into the contract.
Professional advice should always be taken before acting on any of the matters discussed. Please contact a member of our team should you wish to discuss this topic further.


A variation of the Sankofa symbol. The Sankofa symbol is one of many sacred Adinkra Symbols ascribed to the Akan people who settled in the area of West Africa that is now called Ghana and Ivory Coast. The word Sankofa literally means "Go back for it". The symbol is represented by a forward moving metaphorical bird with its head turned backwards to retrieve an egg (representing the future) from its back. It is highly revered and permeates all aspects of Ghanaian culture and lifestyle.
"Sankofa" teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward; that is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated. The wisdom from the past becomes the guide to a better and stronger future.

Helena Quiding (19 August 1755 – 2 October 1819) was a Swedish culture personality and socialite, the creator of Sommarvillan (also known as Sommarnöjet and during the 18th century as Heleneberg), a historic building at Lilla Skuggan in Djurgården, Stockholm. She was a friend of Swedish poet Carl Michael Bellman, and she and circle of friends at her summer house, then known as Heleneberg, is frequently mentioned in Bellman's poems and songs.

Life
Quiding was the daughter of the wealthy brännvinmerchant Johan Henric Lindberg (1719–1777) and his wife Helena Berg (1729–1788). Her parents were wealthy and owned real estate on Drottninggatan and Fredsgatan in the centre of Stockholm.

She married in 1776 to the spicemerchant Bengt Christopher Quiding (1746–1797), and had a son, Bernhard Christopher (1778–1846). The marriage was happy, but her spouse wasted her dowry and the fortune she inherited after her father and apparently persuaded her to forge her rich mother's name to be able to borrow more money, before he went bankrupt and fled the country in 1781, being sentenced in absentia in 1783. As a married woman, Quiding was legally a minor and was not charged for the forgery, but she was obliged to give up all property to the creditors and settle with her son in the home of her mother. In 1788, she inherited a second fortune after her mother and filed for a divorce, and in January 1789, she was formally divorced from her spouse.

In 1790, the year after her divorce, she spent a fortune by having the summer villa Heleneberg built at Djurgården, where she engaged in gardening and entertained culture personalities such as Bellman during the summers for a decade. Helena Quding and her circle at Heleneberg was the object of many of the poems of Bellman, such as the  Djurgårdspastoralerna (Djurgården pastorals). It is not known when she and Bellman became acquainted, but they were friends by the time of her divorce proceedings in 1788, and he often celebrated her with poems the following years, such as at the inauguration of Heleneberg. She is described as beautiful, warmhearted but serious, and her life at Heleneberg as idyllic. Apparently, Bellman unsuccessfully attempted to court her at one point, and it is likely that she gave him financial support from time to time. The summers at Heleneberg ended in 1800, after several years of lawsuits with her neighbor Abraham Niclas Edelcrantz, who questioned her rights to the grounds, when she sold it and started to rent a cottage to spend her summers instead.
