The working week goes by so fast that I barely have any time to do anything aside from work and sleep. Come Friday I am just itching to get home and relax before it all starts again Monday morning. It is easy to fall into the cycle of not doing a great deal on the weekend because your week has been so busy, other than the boring but necessary, mundane chores that we have to do, i.e. cleaning the car, doing the laundry and food shopping. It is important to remember to take the time to do things for you. To do things which make you happy. This got me thinking, what makes me happy? I am quite easy to please, I like the simple things in life if I am honest and never find myself needing anything extravagant to make me happy.
In the past I used to lie in on the weekends, however I haven't really been able to do that for a long time. I believe it wastes my day, there is so much to see and do. You might miss a beautiful sunrise, you will miss the dawn chorus and the quiet setting up of the market before the morning trade. I personally love to go up my local woodland area for a morning walk (weather permitting of course). I enjoy taking photographs in the morning and editing them of an evening, much like how my day has turned out today if I am honest. It has been a quiet day but I am quite glad, last week I sat six exams and it was mentally and physically exhausting.
I know the working week can be tough, therefore all you may want to do once Saturday rolls around is to take things easy, and do you know what? That is perfectly OK. I have picked out five things to do which are nice and relaxing and which also give you time to yourself and to unwind.
Read – I love reading and I made it a goal for 2018 to get back into it more. I used to be such a book worm, I was Hermoine Granger quite literally however I have found it very hard since university to read at the volume in which I did before. Reading is also such a good way to relax, therefore I fully recommend having a browse on Goodreads in order to discover new books and recommendations from friends , I think it is such a good app and it is one of my favourites on my iphone.
Go for a walk – As I mentioned above, I love going for a walk in the woods in order to take in the scenery and fresh air. I am lucky to live in a nice area with lots of woodland to explore. One day I may not be so lucky therefore I always try to make the most of it where I can.
Take pictures – This links in with the factor above as I love taking my camera out in order to see what I can capture. Nature photography is my favourite by far, I love landscapes and wildlife and always have done therefore it seems only natural that this comes across in my photography too.
Visit the market – My local town has a market every Wednesday and Saturday, although of course I always miss the mid week market as I have a job 25 miles in the opposite direction. Whilst I don't go here every weekend, in fact, I haven't been for a few months now I know that across the country there are so many markets held ranging from farming markets, floral, food and crafts. You never know what you may find so it is worth looking at your local town to see what is on.
Make a playlist – Music is my great love of life, whether it is attempting to play guitar myself or just simply listening I can't help but fall in love with it more and more. Music means so much to so many people, a certain song can bring back fantastic memories therefore why not make a playlist for all your favourites. You can even listen to it on the drive to work on Monday morning, it'll make you Monday so much better; trust me.
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Please do let me know what you like to do on the weekends as you may have some ideas for me too!


Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 43 - AnythingNovel.com Read online any english novel around the world.
However, what he did not know was that Ye Chen's physical power had already reached past twelve thousand pounds, sixty percent of his power would mean seven thousand pounds which was equal to the power of two or three mad cow running at full speed.
Changing his style of attack, Ye Tang's clothes were fluttering in the air. As he dived down from the sky, his fingers became a claw, aiming for Ye Chen's shoulder.
At that moment, Ye Chen felt that he was being hunted by a beast. He knew had to completely avoid that claw, otherwise even if he was not injured, he would still lose his balance.
Executing his Golden Swallow Art, Ye Chen's body floated up into the air, leaving a dark shadow behind.
Ye Tang tore apart the shadow angrily. Then suddenly he looked up, a bright dot appeared in front of him.
It was a sword light!
An extremely bright sword light!
It was almost the same time, Ye Chen appeared in front of Ye Tang.
''Ah!'' Ye Tang did not expect Ye Chen to have the energy to fight back, neither did he expect that Ye Chen's retaliation leave him unable to dodge. He was surprised at Ye Chen's abnormal strength.
Ye Tang yelled with anger, as his right hand turned white like jade by his icy Qi. His two fingers clenched in the air, as he prepared to block Ye Chen's and break Ye Chen's great steel sword.
His great steel sword shifted, it was like a light reflecting on the surface of a river, flashing in the night countless times.
Ye Tang's finger which was full of zhen qi had a new bloody hole;blood started to pour out. The next second the icy Qi surrounding his finger was broken completely by the sword light, disappeared in the air.
''Tang'er's Freezing Ice Finger was broken!'' Ye Batian's face did not look good, he could not believe his eyes.
Ye Tianhao and Shen Yuqing were also shocked. They knew Ye Chen was very powerful but they certainly did not expect him to be this powerful. Was he going to beat Ye Tang despite the gap between cultivation Realms?
Ye Tang was forced to step back;he took out his great blade from behind.
The blade was one and a half meter long with a width of half a meter, it had a smooth and shiny surface;it spread a kind of coldness that made you shiver when looking at it, which meant it was definitely not a normal weaponry. Instead, it was probably a precious killing blade. In fact, this blade was called ''Vibrant Snow Blade'' in the Northern Snow Martial Academy, only inner disciples could use it.
Once he took out the Colorful Snow Blade, Ye Tang started to have a powerful aura. He shook his hand and waved it, the shiny blade lights covered the sky and flew to attack Ye Chen, it was like the first snow of the winter had arrived early.
Ye Chen held his sword with both of his hands then used all his power and waved it in the air.
All of the incoming blade light shattered, unable to get any closer. From this scene, you could understand how fast Ye Chen was waving his sword and how precise his strikes were.
Ye Tang did not stop there. Within his blade light, there was an unbearable coldness, that could easily freeze the water in the air. It spread and seemed like it was going to freeze the whole battlefield.
Ye Chen was just about to do something, suddenly, a thin layer of frost covered the ground below him, it was directly from Ye Tang, making the whole stage change into an icy field.
Ye Chen held his sword close to his chest as his feet touched the ground lightly, causing his body to fly backward.
''Ye Chen, you managed to withstand so many moves, you are pretty good! But too bad, you are still going to lose. Lofty Snowfall, Biting Frost!'' Ye Tang held up his blade with both of his hands before chopping down from top to bottom.
Around the Colorful Snow Blade, there was a half meter long blade light, it sliced open the air and attacked towards Ye Chen with an ominous aura, it seemed it was going to slice Ye Chen in half.
''Chen'er, be careful!'' Shen Yuqing was so worried for her son that she stood up subconsciously, preparing herself to save Ye Chen.
Ye Batian made a noise, his right hand made a gesture in the air, created an invisible barrier in front of Shen Yuqing that restrained her movement.
Ye Tianhao could not hold back his anger any longer. Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out around him. His right foot took one step forward and then in next second, all of the VIP seats were kicked into the air and exploded.
The tension between them was on the edge of breaking out.
''Wait, you two. Just wait, I think the situation might still change.'' Mayor Lin hurried to accumulate his Qi to protect himself from the after wave, he yelled at them at once.
Hearing this, the three returned their attention back to the arena.
Ye Tang's blade light had rent the air into visible pieces and had even left a one-meter-long mark on the ground.
''Ye Chen is going to lose, he might even die.'' Almost everyone there was thinking that.
Facing the horrifying blade light, Ye Chen's body shook. All of the Qi and blood inside of his body started to make a loud rushing noise, his aura suddenly strengthened, causing him to look like a huge sculpture of a god.
Yelling loudly, Ye Chen did not move from the spot but his left hand formed a fist and punched out.
The blade light were shattered into pieces before it could get closer to Ye Chen.
''What happened? How could he be so powerful?'' Ye Xuan stood up suddenly, she could not help but yell.
Ye Hai looked extremely serious, his eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.
And Ye Tang's eyes were widened, he seemed to be frozen on the spot.
Ye Chen's eyes looked as sharp as a sword, his body lurched forward with a powerful aura as he arrived three steps away from Ye Tang, his great steel sword stopped at Ye Tang's throat.
''You lost.'' Ye Chen said lightly.
The Vibrant Snow Blade twisted in his hand in preparation to attack.
The crowd thought Ye Chen to be mad as his left hand extended to meet te sword. However, Ye Chen easily slapped the Vibrant Blade out of Ye Tang's hand, before he kicked Ye Tang's body away.
Midair, Ye Tang vomited a huge chunk of blood, before landing ten steps away.
The audiences exploded, they were like boiling water that could not calm down. Seeing Ye Chen beaten Ye Tang, no one would question his ability to compete for the champion position;even if someone did, then he must be either crazy or blind from the truth.
Ye Xuan still could not sit down. She remembered few months ago, Ye Chen was still a little Mortal Realm Stage 6 warrior, but now he had the power to compete with her, it made her a little bit uncomfortable and even frustrated a little, she could not put her feelings into words.
If she had to try to explain it, then it would be the huge difference between the past and present Ye Chen that was making her feel weird.
''Assholes, all of you, shut the hell up!'' Hearing the chatters among the audience, over the messy VIP seats, Ye Batian made a huge roar, its powerful aura spread out like a huge tsunami.
All of the sudden, the crowd was knocked over.

Mysterious disappearing ancient country (9): Kang Ju country
Kang Ju state "goes to Chang'an for thousands of miles", which is the same as the Dayue family at that time. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the country was quite prosperous, with the current northern border of Xinjiang and the Central Asia of Soviet Russia. At that time, they were still very obedient to China and sent envoys to Korea., This country still exists and is called Kang Guo.
emperor is a famous emperor in history. He was so obsessed with his voice and appearance that he appointed a traitor to power and relatives, so that the rebellion between an and Shi broke out and the country was devastated. When reflecting on this period of history, poets in the middle Tang Dynasty often tried their best to excuse Xuanzong, saying that his famine and neglect of the dynasty were fascinated by Yuhuan at home and Hu people at abroad.
the prosperity of song and dance in Chang'an palace is mostly related to the preferences of Xuanzong. If you are good, you must offer something. Among them is a dance from Kangju country in the western regions, called "Hu Xuan dance". "Spekds" "spkds" "spekds" "spkds" "spekds" "in Asia at that time. Central Asia was basically under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. There are people who are good at singing and dancing in Kunlun, and those who are good at playing Pipa in Central Asia are not the exception. According to records: "at the end of Tianbao, Kang juguo offered Hu Xuannv." It is also recorded in the biography of the western regions in the book of the new Tang Dynasty: "those in the state of Kang are called samojian… Chinese people are fond of drinking, singing and dancing… In the early Kaiyuan Dynasty, tribute… Ostrich, yuenuo dwarf and Hu Xuan woman." Kang juguo's songs and dances have entered Chang'an as early as the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Pipa musician Kang Kunlun may have been incorporated into the Royal band of the Tang Dynasty under such circumstances.
the girls who danced "Hu Xuan dance" in Kang juguo came to Chang'an and brought a unique dance – Hu Xuan dance. Xuanzong didn't seem to like such a whirling dance, but Yang Yuhuan immediately fell in love with Hu whirlwind dance.
according to the music records of the Tang Dynasty, "the music and dance of Kang Ju country turn like the wind, which is commonly known as Hu Xuan." "Yuefu miscellany" said: "Hu Xuan danced on a small round ball, tossed vertically and horizontally, and his feet didn't leave the ball at last. It's so wonderful." From the above records and descriptions, it can be seen that as long as you have seen the dances of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang such as Uygur, you can almost imagine the form of this rotating dance. Ethnic minority dances pay great attention to the communication between dancers and express a kind of personal emotion. They are two completely different concepts from the stylized music and dance arranged by the royal family according to the needs of etiquette. Xuanzong felt uncomfortable with this kind of dance, which was obviously related to the fact that the dancers were too focused on self-expression but didn't care how to cater to the emperor.
Bai Juyi wrote in his poem "Hu Xuan Nu":
Hu Xuan Nu, Hu Xuan Nu, the heart should string and the hand should drum. With the sound of the string drum, the two sleeves are raised, and the snow u whirls back to dance. Turn left and right without fatigue, and there is no time for thousands of turns. There is no comparable thing in the world. Running to the wheel is slow and whirlwind is late.
the Hu Xuan dancers from Kang juguo worked hard in front of Xuanzong and wanted to be appreciated by Xuanzong. As a result, Xuanzong's performance is:
. At the end of the song, the emperor thanks the emperor again, and the emperor speaks slightly for it. Hu Xuan, a female, went out of a healthy house and came to the East in vain. The Central Plains has its own twists and turns. It's better to fight for talent than you.
Xuanzong has this attitude. It is obviously impossible for Hu Xuan dancers to enter the Royal pear garden of the Tang Dynasty. But after all, Chang'an was an international metropolis at that time, so it was not difficult to make a living. The effect of Kang Ju Guo's Hu Xuan female performance in Chang'an was greatly beyond the expectation of Xuanzong. Hu Xuan dance is not only popular among the people, but also popular among the imperial concubine's wombs. Especially the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan is particularly obsessed with Hu Xuan dance. She practices Hu Xuan dance in the hall of longevity every day. Later, Hu Xuan dance became popular not only in the palace, but also in officialdom. Hu Xuan dance has become the most popular form of social dance in Chang'an city.
the prevalence of Hu Xuan dance caused trouble. Yang Yuhuan is good at dancing, but he may not be good at Hu Xuan dance. Fortunately, there is a person who can dance this dance. It is an Lushan, Yang Yuhuan's dry son. An Lushan can dance Hu Xuan dance, which is one of the reasons why he pleases Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan. The rebellion in Anlu mountain had no direct connection with Hu Xuan dance, but the Tang people hated Anlu mountain and Hu Xuan dance together.
Bai Juyi said:
Lushan Hu whirled in your eyes and crossed the Yellow River. The imperial concubine Hu Xuan confused the king's heart and abandoned Mawei to make it deeper. From the earth's axis to Tianwei, it has been made for 50 years. Hu Xuan female, Mo Kong Dance, sing this song several times to understand the Lord of the Ming Dynasty.
in Bai Juyi's view, the reason for the an Shi rebellion lies in that group of innocent Hu Xuan women, which is really ridiculous. Coincidentally, Yuan Zhen ě n) The same view as Bai Juyi:
Tianbao wants the end and hu wants chaos. Hu people offer women to spin. The Ming king was so confused that the demon Hu Yan went to the hall of eternal life.
the meaning of Hu Xuan is unknown to the world, and I can pass on the capacity of Hu Xuan. The broken frost in the canopy is the root of sheep horn disease, and the pole is dazzled by the Zhu pan fire wheel.
Li beads burst out to chase the flying stars, and the rainbow halo light towel pulls the current.Human occupation.
ban Chao helped and obstructed ban Chao and the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty during the period when ban Chao calmed the rebellion of countries in the western region. At that time, ban Chao led more than 10000 troops from Shule, Khotan, Yumi and other countries to break through the Gumo stone city of the state of kuci. At this time, Kangju, Yueshi, Wusun and other countries all had the desire to belong to the Han Dynasty. They wanted to help ban Chao attack and destroy the tortoise and open up the channel with the Han Dynasty. Later, King Shache colluded with King Shule to rebel against the Han Dynasty. King Kangju once sent troops to assist King Shule, resulting in ban Chao's inability to attack for a long time. Kangju and guishuang in this period just formed an alliance with their relatives. Ban Chao sent envoys to send generous gifts to the king of Yue. Through the king of Yue, Kangju advised the king of Kangju to retreat, and escorted the king of Shule to the Yueshi and transferred it to the Han Dynasty. Three years later, the king of Shule borrowed troops from Kangju to fight back, occupied some places, and plotted with the state of kuci to cheat surrender. Ban Chao found out the trick and beheaded the king of Shule. Since then, Kangju and the Han Dynasty have been in peace.
during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the time of Kangju's strength was not too long, basically before and after ban Chao's mission to the western regions. Kangju was a little less powerful than the kusana empire in the same period.
in the third century A.D., the kusana empire began to decline and fell under the control of the Sassanian Dynasty of Persia, and the territory of the kusana empire in India was gradually reduced.
from 265 to 274 A.D. (the beginning of the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty), Kangju was very weak. King Kangju sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty to offer horses, hoping to make friends with the newly rising Western Jin Dynasty.
after the third century A.D., the state of Kang Ju had no clear national boundaries. In historical books, Kang Ju had been called "Suyi" since the Three Kingdoms, specifically referring to the types and place names of local residents. During the period of
, Da forces rose and Kangju was relatively weak. After the dards moved westward, the Kangju state ceased to exist.
according to the history books, Kang Ju's surname is Wen, originally a Yue surname. "He used to live in Zhaowu city in the north of Qilian Mountain, so Kang lived in the surrounding countries and took Zhaowu as his surname, which shows that he will not forget his origin". This is the fact that Yueshi people were expelled from Hexi corridor. The kingdom of Kangju, also known as "siwanjin", is Samarkand, which comes from the central area of Sogdiana. In the heyday of the kusana Empire, the local Yueshi people were likely to be appointed the mayor of the conquest. Most of the rulers of these areas are Dayue people of Zhaowu nationality. Due to the gradual decline of the kusana Empire, all regions were divided into many small countries.
from 357 to 367 ad, due to the gentle rise and competition for the western regions, the Da Huns poured into the area between the Amu Darya River and the SYR River in Central Asia, and it was easy to attack sogdia and the government Sogdiana. By the 1920s of the fourth century, the Da Huns attacked and destroyed kusana in the south, thus becoming a powerful country in Central Asia, living between China and Sasan of Persia. At this time, the names of Kangju, Sabbath, Wusun, huala Zimo, y bin, Dawan and other countries of the Han Dynasty disappeared. The Xiongnu people, Kangju people, Wusun people and Yueshi people living in Central Asia gradually merged and assimilated. With the influx of Turks and the widespread popularity of Turkic language, all ethnic groups in Central Asia are covered by Turks as various factors. On the premise of being subordinate to the West Turks, the Zhaowu people in Central Asian countries maintained their local small political power and national roots, forming the so-called "Zhaowu nine surnames" countries.
in the nearly 500 year history of Kangju state, there was no king who made great achievements, or even left a king's name. From the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the Da Yueshi people who moved westward were later trampled by the Xiongnu people who moved westward, and finally succumbed to the Da who moved westward. Even in the most powerful period in the history of Kangju state, it depends on the face of King Yueshi. These central Asian nomads who once cut off the head of Cyrus, the ancient Persian king, also defeated Darius, the Persian king, and were forced to wear Central Asian costumes and adopt a Huairou policy seemed vulnerable and willing to surrender in front of nomads from the East. The political ability of Kangju people is not even as good as the nine surnames of Zhaowu. The details are intriguing.
Huayan sect is another Buddhist sect established after Faxiang sect in the early Tang Dynasty. It takes the Huayan Sutra as the Sutra and mainly gives play to the meaning of "the origin of the legal world".
the origin of Huayan sect can be traced back to the northern and Southern Dynasties. The northern and southern scholars of geography and the southern scholars of three theories. The academic tradition inheritance relationship claimed by Huayan sect people takes FA Shun in the Sui and Tang Dynasties as the original ancestor, Zhi Yan in the early Tang Dynasty as the second ancestor and FA Zang as the third ancestor. In fact, FA Shun and Zhi Yan are just the pioneers of Huayan sect. FA Shun is basically a Zen monk. He once advised people to read the Huayan Sutra. It is said that there is "Huayan five religions stop view". In his stop view method, Hua Yan is placed in the highest position of yuanjiao; His disciple Zhi Yan wrote a lot, vigorously expounded the thought of Huayan, and put forward the "ten Xuanmen", an important aspect of Huayan thought, but the core of Huayan thought was clarified by fazang; Huayan sect's doctrine of judging religion was also put forward by fazang; The establishment of Huayan temples throughout the country and the general conclusion of incense clubs dedicated to Huayan were also promoted by fazang. Therefore, the actual founder of Huayan sect is fazang.
the fazang custom surname is Kang. His ancestral home is Kangju in the western regions. His ancestral generation is the Prime Minister of Kang. His grandfather moved to Chang'an to settle down and naturalized in Chang'an, China. Therefore, fazang was originally a Kangju.
Fazang was born in 643 A.D. (the 17th year of Zhenguan). At the age of 17, he converted to Buddhism and went to Taibai Mountain (in the south of D County, Shaanxi Province) to practice and study Buddhist scriptures. After returning to Beijing, he listened to the Huayan Sutra from Zhiyan, master of Huayan in Yunhua temple for nine years. He was deeply appreciated by Zhiyan. When Zhiyan was dying in 668 A.D. (the first year of the general chapter), he asked his disciples to take fazang and thought he was concentrating on studying the Huayan Sutra , is the hope of Shaolong heritage law. Two years later, when Yang's biological mother died, Wu Zetian changed her mother's residence to Taiyuan temple and issued an edict to shave monks. Recommended by Daocheng and Bo Chen, fazang was approved to shave and became a monk in Taiyuan temple.
at this time, fazang was only disciplined by the Shami and was ordered to speak the Huayan Sutra in Taiyuan temple in 674 (the first year of the Shang Yuan Dynasty). Later, he spoke at Yunhua temple. The emperor ordered the ten virtues in the capital to grant sufficient precepts to Dharma Tibet, and gave him the name of the first Bodhisattva
in the Huayan Sutra as a title, which is called the first virtuous national teacher. Since then, fazang has often participated in translation, extensive speaking and writing, which greatly invigorated the religious style of Huayan.
in 680 A.D. (the first year of emperor Yonglong of Gaozong), the middle Indian samadhi Vajra came to Chang'an and asked the western ancient virtue if there was any interpretation of the teachings of the Buddha generation. According to di pokhola, there are two great commentators in Nalanda temple in India. One is a precept sage, who inherits Maitreya and Wuwei from afar, and closely follows Dharma protector and NANDA. According to the sutras such as shenmi and yoga, there are three teaching judgments in time, space and middle school; The other is Zhiguang, who inherited Manjusri and Longshu from afar, and recently reported to Diva and Qingbian. According to the theories of Prajna and other sutras and Zhongguan, he established the three-time teaching judgment of having all kinds of state of mind, empty state of mind and empty state of mind. Among the Sanskrit texts brought by devakhola from India, there is "entering the Dharma world". Fazang personally checked with him. As expected, he obtained the two paragraphs of "ten good knowledge such as seeking God's light for good wealth" and "Manjusri stretched out his hand to press the top of good wealth". Immediately, devakhola asked devakhola to translate it in the West Taiyuan temple. This is the "entering the Dharma world of great Fangguang Buddha Huayan Sutra (Continued)". Since then, fazang has been instructed to translate more than ten sutras, including Miyan and Xianshi, together with dipahara, Daocheng and bochen, totaling 20 volumes.
in 690 A.D. (the second year of Tianfu after Wu), Khotan Samantha Tiyun Prajna translated scriptures in the East Temple of the state of Wei, and fazang also attended the translation field. Tiyun Prajna translated the theory of no difference in the field of grand multiplication. Fazang specially edited the book to give full play to its new meaning.
in 695 A.D. (the first year of shengzheng), shichananda, a monk from Khotan, re translated the Huayan Sutra in dapenkong temple in Luoyang, which was written by fazang in accordance with the imperial edict, and later added two paragraphs into the translation of master Rizhao.
in 699 A.D. (the second year of the holy calendar of Empress Wu), the re translated Huayan sutra was completed, and the imperial edict was hidden in the Buddhist teaching temple in Luoyang. He once talked about the new Huayan Sutra for Empress Wu, and talked about "the ten fold Xuanmen of the Internet righteousness of the Heavenly Emperor", "the samadhi gate of the sea seal", "the righteousness gate of the six phase harmony" and "the realm gate of the common eye". Empress Wu was puzzled. Fazang then pointed to the Golden Lion beside the temple for an analogy, and Empress Wu suddenly understood it. Fazang wrote down what he said at that time, which was called the Golden Lion chapter. In order to enlighten the scholars who did not understand the endless meaning of Chahai's involvement, he took ten mirrors and arranged them in eight directions (four corners in four directions), arranged one side up and down, face to face, and placed a Buddha statue in the middle, and then burned a torch to shine on him, so that the scholars could understand the endless meaning of Chahai's involvement.
in 703 A.D. (the third year of Chang'an), Yijing and other 14 Huafan people successively translated 21 books including the most victorious king of Jin Guangming in Fuxian temple and Ximing Temple of Chang'an in Luoyang, and Dharma Tibet was instructed to prove their righteousness.
in 706 A.D. (the second year of Zhongzong Shenlong), the South Indian monk tiluzhi translated the dabaoji Sutra in the great neilin Guangdian, and fazang was also instructed to prove it. Although the newly translated Huayan Sutra has added products such as Tathagata, samadhi, Huayan world and shiding, it misses the supplementary translation of "Manjusri reaches out for more than one hundred and ten days and presses the top of good wealth" by Di bharata. Dharma Tsang used the two translations of Jin and Tang Dynasties to explore the Sanskrit version, and supplemented the translation of divahara in the omission of Shicha NANDA, so it can be continued and connected. The current version is this one. In a word, fazang contributed to the translation of Huayan Sutra at that time, especially the translation of
Dharma collections have talked about the old and new Huayan Sutra more than 30 times. Zhongzong and Ruizong have asked him to be a Bodhisattva Precepts teacher. In 712 ad (the first year of Ruizong's birth), fazang passed away in dajianfu temple in Chang'an. He was 70 years old and was buried in the south of Huayan Temple in shenheyuan. Yan Chaoyin, the Secretary's junior supervisor, wrote an inscription for him, which briefly stated the deeds of his life. This is the existing "monument of Dade kangzang master in dajianfu Temple of the Tang Dynasty".
Zhiyan created a new theory of religious phase and behavior, which was brought into full play by fazang, so as to establish a comprehensive religious view. Therefore, fazang is the actual founder of Huayan sect. The world calls him the third ancestor of Huayan sect.
after 91 A.D. (the ninth year of the Yongyuan Dynasty), the northern Huns moved westward and Kangju was forced to move southward to the Sogdiana region.
from 265 to 274 A.D. (the beginning of the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty), King Kangju sent envoys to offer horses to the Jin Dynasty, hoping to make friends with the newly rising western Jin Dynasty.
during the northern and Southern Dynasties, Da forces rose and Kangju was relatively weak. After the dards moved westward, the country of Kangju ceased to existYes.

Hundreds of retail jobs are facing the axe as the stricken toy chain Toys 'R' Us prepares to unveil plans to close a quarter of its British stores.
Sky News has learnt that the board of Toys 'R' Us's UK subsidiary will announce as soon as Monday that it is proposing to launch a process called a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).
The move, which will require the approval of a 75% majority of the company's creditors, would leave roughly 25 of its 105 British shops facing closure, according to insiders.
Toys 'R' Us employs roughly 3200 people in the UK, meaning that a decision to close a quarter of its stores would affect at least several hundred jobs.
The precise numbers were unclear on Friday.
Sources said that Alvarez & Marsal, a specialist adviser on corporate insolvencies, would handle the CVA proposal.
All of the affected Toys 'R' Us shops will remain trading throughout the Christmas period and well into the new year, they added.
People close to the process said that Toys 'R' Us's larger out-of-town stores would be disproportionately affected by the closure plan, owing to their weak performance.
One said that the warehouse-style stores opened in the 1980s and 1990s were now too big and expensive to run profitably.
A CVA is a mechanism enabling companies to organise their funding and operations while enjoying protection from their creditors.
It was unclear whether Toys 'R' Us's landlords and other creditors would be prepared to back the proposal, further details of which will become clear next week.
In Britain, retailers including BHS, Focus DIY and JJB Sports have all used CVAs to exit loss-making stores, although all three companies ultimately succumbed to the fast-changing retail environment.
Toys 'R' Us's UK operations are understood to have been loss-making in seven of the last eight financial years.
The effort to overhaul its UK estate follows the filing by Toys 'R' Us's American parent for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September – a process which shields stricken companies from their creditors while they attempt to restructure their finances.
The proposal for the UK business of Toys 'R' Us has emerged on another bleak day for the British high street, with Royal Bank of Scotland and Thomas Cook announcing that they planned to close about 300 of their branches and stores.
In addition to those other corporate names, Toys 'R' Us's proposal underlines the extent to which the banking, retail and travel industries are all facing fundamental challenges to their business models from the shift of consumers to digital channels.
A spokesman for Toys 'R' Us UK declined to comment.

This… Did not go as planned. My PTSD precludes sleeping on moving vehicles unless I'm totally exhausted, and even then only for a couple or three hours max. I've known about cars and planes forever, but not trains. I figured they wouldn't be an issue. I slept three hours en route to Chicago, then three 2-3 hour chunks as exhaustion allowed. The roomette (feels like closet) was just large enough for me — if I were 2″ shorter.
I was a zombie in Seattle, and in Olympia that night and the next day, although a good, hard sleep helped, but I was only operating at 80%.
Then I pulled a Shlomi, and realized Monday evening, after a day in Seattle and dinner with family back in Olympia, that I was supposed to be on a train Tuesday morning. I'd thought I had an additional day (me, not reading dates on ticket, oy!), and suddenly I realized that no, another four days of this and I'd be a zombie. So I canceled reservations and, in a fluster the next morning, just booked tickets for that day. Screwed up people's plans to be with me, but, worst, left without having some more time with The Son. Stupid move on my part, driven, I see now, but exhaustion and wanting it all to stop (still felt like I was on a train even a day later). But I made the (bad decision). End of guilt trip. And by midnight Austin time I was back home, ready to enjoy several days of crazy jet lag, back pain, etc.
I finished one short story, at least to the point where I could start on the rewrite. Got the train experience sticker, and several character sketches that I'll publish. and made some great progress on Shabbat Queen, which I'm rewriting for the nth time.
Leather right eye patch, right leather and metal leg brace, long brown hair past his shoulders and a full white beard almost as long. Felt Stetson (dimple on the top, flattish brim). Tightly crocheted yamulka covering 1/3 of his head. With all the other damage, I first thought maybe it was an artificial skull covering.
"I'm a rabbi," he declares. I hope I haven't just given him a gimlet eye.
I bit off the next five things I want to say. This is going to be a long train trip, and he and I are forced company all the way up to St. Louis.
The next twenty minutes are my attempts to put Judaism in a scope unrelated to Preacher Man's Messianic delusions of Judaism. And it bugs me, even as I write this, that I'm having to defend a religion I don't believe in from the god perspective from an evil parasite that would weaken it further. And embarrassed that I'm not confronting this shill on his lies. "Lies." Feel the cognitive dissonance.
8:30 in the morning: after an hour-long breakfast "dining, we're dining," Cal says when I say hi, he's sitting with them an hour later, tippling at a bottle of Bailey's, sans coffee.
"But it's raining," I said.
Cal's a black, 31-year-old woman with sport-style prescription glasses who lost 200 pounds after meeting Erin. She dresses in layers of clothing from neck down, still coyly disguising her (self-described) deflated figure.
Taller than me, baggy jeans and maybe a pair or two more. Corduroy coat, a couple of t-shirts under a denim shirt. No teeth, flapping cheeks and wild eyes.
When she was drunk later that evening she went circular on me for getting the best deals on travel by rail and chided me for paying too much, saying she was getting all the way up to Chicago for under $200 for them both, then the same to go from Canada down to Florida the next week and I needed to figure out to push them on prices and get discounts booking ahead or being part of the club. Much later that evening she and Cal and Erin were all talking at max volume with the daughter's far overwrought tired whines as a counterpoint.
First three time he walked past me I thought he was on the Autism spectrum. "Looks good," he said, looking at my writing. 5'6", intense, glasses. "Like the font," the next time. When he settled down near me he showed me the laptop rest he fashioned from the back of a metal chair. Writes fan fiction, "but that's not real writing. It's all erotica," he says. "Ever hear of Fallout 3? That's where it's at." Lists several games. Seems nervous, discounts his writing. Talked to him about nanowrimo. Going into the Navy in May.
Retired 21 years ago, train lover. Took the train from Cairo to Alexandria with his son who's a train buff because he is. Asked "so, you look like you know how to order meat. I don't have any teeth – I mean, I've got dentures, but I don't wear them. What's the best way to order my meat so it's easy to chew? I explained about aging and protein breakdown, but that medium would be the best for low quality meat. And wondered why I was the elected poobah for that. Also a self-taught computer guy, doing the apocryphal DOS->building computers to building them for family to linux guy. Self-effacing, polite, nice. Neatly trimmed beard/mustache, 5'4" hobbit-ish but balding, white hair.
Black rubber boots, eminently practical, with a pink ribbon in pigtails in her dishwater blonde hair. A nose ring, pink cell phone charger cord. Piano pen case, a journal, three books, plastic bags. A rosy flush, possibly rosea, puts her age from anywhere from 17 to 25. Gray sweater tunic and stripy pink pants.
In their 70s, chatting while looking out the window. Woman mentions geospatial intelligence agency as they chat while downtown Springfield, IL passes by. Satisfied silences as they look at the window and occasionally continue the patter of a couple long familiar with one another and eminently comfortable with their silences.

Tigo, operated by Millicom, reported slow growth from its operations in Africa in the past financial year, blaming price wars and SIM registration for the slowdown. The company provides telecoms services to over 30 million customers in 13 countries in Latin America and Africa.
The company said in its latest financial report that its customer numbers in Africa increased by 23% year-on-year, bringing the total at the end of December to just below 15 million.
However, it saw a slowdown in customer growth in the region during the fourth quarter, which it attributed in part to mandatory customer registration processes in Ghana and Tanzania which give rise to greater volatility.
Tigo' s revenues in Africa were up 5% year-on-year to USD239 million, with local currency revenues up 12% following pricing pressure mainly in Ghana and Tanzania.
DRC and Tanzania continued to demonstrate the strongest local currency growth for the company, recording year-on-year increases of 21% and 20% respectively. In DRC, the regulator introduced high minimum tariffs for all operators in December, which it expecst to cause a slow down in the rate of penetration growth. Value added services revenues increased by 41% in Africa year-on-year and now account for 10% of the region"s recurring revenues.
Tigo said its average revenue per user (ARPU) for the region was down 11% year-on-year in local currency, due to growing price wars and a need to adjust cross-net tariffs.
Its capital expenditure in Africa amounted to USD120 million in Q4 and USD278 million for the full year -or 31% of revenues.
Tigo noted that its asset optimization plans were advancing, with almost two-thirds of its towers in Africa to be outsourced by the end of this year.
It added that the litigation over its license in Senegal with the Senegalese Government continues at the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). ICSID has scheduled a hearing on the case for December 2011.

Top 10 Characters Who Became Batman Besides Bruce Wayne
Hey guys!. In this post, I'll be discussing a list of Top 10 Characters Who Became Batman Besides Bruce Wayne. Everyone knows Batman, the iconic dark knight and world's greatest detective, but also the man behind the mask is the billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne.
While his adventures in both Gotham city and across the world have been recognized throughout his life, there are also other characters in the dc universe who have also put on the cape and cowl to either protect his identity or protect Gotham city. Now let's get started!
10. Plastic Man.
Starting with the former criminal, who fell into a vat of chemicals, and was transformed and rehabilitated into becoming a superhero, there was an episode in Batman the brave and the bold where he dawned the cowl as bruce was temporarily out of commission. After reading about his injuries in Aquaman's new novel, the one where Batman almost died, Plastic Man decides to become Batman to protect Gotham.
As he has the ability to transform into anyone or anything, he alternates and switches through Batman various outfits through the decades, but for some reason chooses his own outfit where he isn't wearing pants and has goggles for eyes. While finding Catwoman in her latest plot, to free tigers, he gets distracted by her glamorous charms and almost forgets his role, but he regains his focus and is able to stop her.
9. Shazam.
Onto the superhero with the power and abilities of the Greek gods, Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury, he has always been known to be the protector of faucet city and is seen with bright red and yellow colours, so in what scenario would he ever dawn the cape and cowl. Well, returning once again to the same episode from Batman the brave and the bold, batman is indisposed and Gotham is left unprotected.
As Shazam also decides to become Batman, he also dawns his own version of the batsuit, where we see his own style cape and a sash instead of a utility belt. When it came to fighting large supervillains, like Solomon Grundy and killer croc, he was able to knock them out with one punch, leaving the other villains in shock, but as they get the upper hand on him, he questions how Batman does this alone though ends up defeating all of them.
8. Aquaman.
Now the king of the sea, who is known as the ruler of Atlantis and his ability to communicate with creatures of the ocean, he has oddly worn a batsuit to become Batman. Though he doesn't have fighting skills, motivation and darkness like Bruce, he definitely tries his best to become him. Returning back to the same episode in Batman the brave and the bold, where Batman suffered an injury that forced him to heal and not fight crime, Aquaman is another hero who decided to dawn the cape and cowl to protect Gotham City.
As he also wears his own version of the batsuit, as we see he still uses his own belt and decides to keep his yellow facial hair, he makes his entrance using his own grapple and battles the penguin and his henchman. Struggling to catch up with penguin's land submarine, he questions how Batman does this alone, but we see later that he captured him.
7. Green Arrow.
Continuing with the world-famous archer, vigilante and superhero, we have seen many appearances of both he and the dark knight working side by side. Through many adventures together, Green Arrow, has picked up on many things that define what Batman stands for. Now for the last time, returning back to the same episode where batman has serious injuries, Green Arrow is the final hero who decides to become batman and protect Gotham.
As he tries his best impression of batman to scare criminals, he lacks the level of intimidation and fails to throw a Batarang. Resorting back to using arrows to take down many criminals from Batman the Brave and the Bold's rogues gallery, he also questions how batman does this alone but emerges victorious in the end. As all batmen converge to stop the joker, the joker knocks them all out, resulting in batman coming to the rescue and them realizing that there is only one true Batman.
6. Superman.
One of the most popular superheroes, just like batman, of course, we know both Superman and Clark Kent to be iconic. While both Batman and superman are opposites of each other, except for both being superheroes, it's difficult to believe that the man of steel could transition into the role of the dark knight. Well other than not having the knowledge of various martial arts, among other things, Superman has often dawned the cape and cowl on many occasions.
Seen twice swapping outfits with batman to try and trick lex luthor, the most awesome time he became batman is shown in a crossover episode with the new batman adventures. As superman learns that batman is missing in Gotham, he finds robin handling the city alone during a crime spree and decides to become him to let the city know that batman hasn't disappeared. Though he initially struggles pulling it off, with Robin's help, Superman is able to convince others of batman's return and is able to intimidate criminals.
Now while staying in the shadows and using his powers to his advantage, he uncovers that Brainiac is behind Bruce's sudden disappearance and puts a stops to his plot, so definitely honouring the title.
5. Thomas Wanye.
We all know the origin story of Batman, where after the Wayne family exited a movie theatre or soap opera in some cases, they walked along crime alley where Thomas and Martha were murdered in front of Bruce, giving him the fear, anger and motivation to become Batman. Now for those who aren't familiar with the flashpoint storyline, the flash ran back in time to save his mom from being killed and inadvertently created an alternate timeline called flashpoint.
In this reality, instead of Thomas and Martha dying in crime alley, it was Bruce who died instead which gave Thomas the motivation to become batman. Funding his vigilante crusade through various casinos, which he also uses to spy on criminals, we find a very different version of Batman. Other than the batsuit being completely different, we learn that Thomas doesn't follow Bruce's code of not killing and uses dual handguns to eliminate criminals, very similar to red hood.
Now, after learning from barry that Bruce is alive in his timeline, Thomas helps barry get his powers back, joins other heroes in preventing WW3 and helps defeat zoom so the flash can reset the timeline, so basically, all in a days work of being batman.
4. The Joker.
The Clown Prince of Crime, known best for his antics to make everyone smile and becoming batman's archenemy, but is maybe a character you didn't see coming. Sure he has played the hero a couple of times but when has the most iconic and popular supervillain ever dawned the cape and cowl.
If you've seen and remembered the animated series, The Batman, which in case you haven't, I would recommend it, you may recall an episode where Batman was infected by the Joker. The episode begins with the joker dawning his own version of the cape and cowl and starting to fight crime, except rather than sending criminals to jail, he infects them with joker gas.
When Batman confronts him, he reveals if he couldn't beat him, he would join him, and since batman needs a joker, he infects bruce with a toxin that will slowly kill him from laughter. Though his intentions should be good, as he's dressed as batman, the offences he targets barely qualify as crimes and his punishments are far from minor.
While his transition into becoming batman only happens in one episode, it's still cool to see the joker in the role of the dark knight, I mean he even has his own suit-up sequence and a batmobile.
3. Alfred.
Moving onto the butler, who we recognize as Bruce's most trusted ally, is one I would say holds batman and the batfamily together. He heals bruce's injuries, always keeps a batsuit ready for him and is always in service when someone needs him, so in what scenario would he ever wear the cape and cowl to become batman.
Through various shows in the decades, we see that he dawns the suit to protect bruce's secret identity, whether being serious or as a joke, or to come to the rescue as bruce is indisposed. I'm not saying he can't handle himself, cause he can, but rather than beating up criminals, his responsibilities fall under helping bruce.
In the Batman 1966 series, we find Alfred climbing a building and using the gadgets in the utility belt to rescue robin and bruce from the joker. In the batman series, when a reporter becomes suspicious when bruce arrives just when batman leaves, Alfred dawns the suit to fool them. Finally in the batman the brave and the bold, when lex luthor discovers the Batcave, Alfred uses the gadgets to distract him and buy time for bruce to suit up.
In a nutshell, Alfred is always ready to become batman and willing to do anything to protect bruce.
2. Terry McGinnis.
Travelling to Gotham's future, otherwise known as neo Gotham, we meet the black and red batman beyond. Coming from a very loving family, those unfamiliar with Terry's origin might question why he would ever want to become the dark knight. Well, he disobeyed his father a lot, and when he was killed due to investigating an issue at Wayne-powers, like bruce, he blamed himself for not doing more and had regret.
After meeting Bruce and accidentally discovering the Batcave, Terry shows him the evidence of the issue but loses it to the man responsible for his father's death, Derek powers. Wanting vengeance like bruce and thinking that no one will do anything to stop Derek, he steals the bat-suit from the Batcave and goes after him, where we see new additions to the suit like rocket boots and retractable wings.
While terry doesn't get the revenge he initially wanted, bruce offers him a job and decides to train him to become his protege and Gotham's new protector. Like Batman, Terry gets new tools, like a better batmobile, and faces off against the usual irregular supervillains, such as shriek and blight.
1. Dick Grayson.
Finishing off with batman's partner, the original robin and boy wonder, we know that he left the cave to make a name for himself and become Nightwing, the defender of bludhaven. While he originally looked up to bruce and batman, after being adopted and joining him on his crusade, the older he got, the more he realized that he never really knew him at all.
Sure there's that one episode in batman the brave and the bold where dick willingly took up the mantle when bruce retired, but in every other scenario, he would normally decline because it would be less of a chance he might become like him. This is first seen in an episode in the new batman adventures, where after realizing that he doesn't approve of his tactics and that being batman's partner takes up a lot of his time, he quits as robin and leaves.
Now if we take the film batman bad blood as the final example, we see that after bruce's disappearance, dick is forced to put on the cowl, as he knows that if batman doesn't return, chaos will break loose. While he's great as batman in any show or film, he usually resents the idea of putting on the suit, as he's struggled for years to get out of bruce's shadow.

Leonardo DiCaprio in talks to play cult leader Jim Jones in new film
Posted on: 9th November 2021
Leonardo DiCaprio will also produce the picture.
Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to portray infamous preacher and cult leader Jim Jones in a new feature film.
The Oscar-winning actor is in the final stages of discussions about playing the Peoples Temple founder, who orchestrated the Jonestown massacre in 1978.
According to Deadline, DiCaprio will also produce the film via his Appian Way production banner alongside Jennifer Davisson, while Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle scribe Scott Rosenberg, who is writing the screenplay, will serve as an executive producer.
Although the Titanic star isn't officially confirmed for the lead role, officials at MGM have pre-emptively secured a seven-figure deal for the project.
Jones, who founded the Peoples Temple, a religious organisation, in Indianapolis in 1955, built his remote jungle commune Jonestown in Guyana in the early '70s and encouraged his followers to live with him there. Amid press reports about human rights abuses in Jonestown, U.S. Representative Leo Ryan visited the settlement in November 1978 to investigate. As he was about to board his flight home days later, Ryan and four others were killed by gunmen on the airstrip.
Hours later, Jones orchestrated the mass murder-suicide of more than 900 of his followers by encouraging them to drink Flavor Aid laced with cyanide. The leader, who was 47, also died that same day due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
DiCaprio has plenty of other projects in the pipeline too. He can soon be seen starring alongside Jennifer Lawrence in Adam McKay's Don't Look Up, while he has also filmed Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and bought the U.S. remake rights to Oscar-winning Danish film Another Round.

From the Heilbronner Cross you continue your hike via the Hirzkar to the cable car station Gjaid (section III) or for another 10 minutes to the Gjaid Alm (stop-off possible).
The Heilbronner circular trail and the Nature Trail run into the high mountains. The weather can change quickly, please take protection against the sun, rain and cold temperatures as well as a small snack and plenty of drinks with you! Robust hiking or mountain shoes are essential!
The Dachstein Nature Trail leads over the Dachstein mountain plateau and through the Dachstein nature reserve (European nature reserve Natura 2000 and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hallstatt – Dachstein – Salzkammergut). Signposts along the way explain the special features of the karstic formation, fauna and flora.
From the cable car station Gjaidalm via the lodge Gjaid Alm hut and on to the Wiesberghaus (hiking time approx. 2 hours), altitude difference approx. 140 m. From the Wiesberghaus on the Nature Trail in approx. 1.5 hours (altitude difference 330 m) to the Alpine hut Simonyhütte. Back the same way or via the Taubenkar to the Gjaidalm.
The Dachstein Nature Trail leads across an extensive karst mountain plateau within the unspoilt mountain landscape. This is characterised by impressive karst formation, varied flora and fauna and the eastern glaciers of the Alps.
The nature trail runs from the Gjaidalm via the Wiesberghaus and on to the hut Simonyhütte. Here, hikers can learn on special panels all about the geology and wildlife of the Dachstein plateau as well as the theme of karst landscapes . Overall, the trail is 8 km long and for everyone comfortable to commit. Shelter huts await tired walkers at regular intervals.
From valley station Gjaid (section III) you hike on a trail to the Gjaidalm and pass the Schilcherhaus in the direction of Zwölferkogl to the Dachsteinblick (Dachstein viewing point). Relax on a bench or savour nature with magnificent views of the Dachstein and Hallstatt glacier! On the journey back, you can enjoy a stop-off at the Gjaid Alm.
A Dachstein hike with a special charm which can be completed by any experienced hiker despite its high mountain alpine characteristics (the Taubenkogel is 2,301 m high).
The starting point is the valley station Gjaid (cable car section III). You hike along the well-kept path towards Oberfeld (former Bundesheer - federal armed forces station) and on for another approx. 10 mins towards the Wiesberghaus/Simonyhütte. At the turn-off to the Taubenkogel / Gjaidstein, you turn off onto trail no. 615. Slightly ascending through splendid mountain pines and Alpine rose bushes (main blossoming season is July) you reach the ridge of the Niederer Rumpler (1,975m).
The craggy and dangerous-looking North face of the Taubenkogel stretches out in-front and is now to be tackled. But don't worry – after an hour of hiking, a serpentine trail leads up to the saddle of the Taubenkogel. Depending on the season, you may cross small snowfields, but be careful! Magnificent Alpine flora can be viewed along the entire trail in peak Summer.
Reached the saddle, the peak of the Dachstein with its glacier extends out in all its splendour. The half hour to the peak is easy to complete. A large summit cross invites hikers to take a well-deserved rest here!
Very sporty mountain climbers will also find something to suit their needs on the Dachstein thanks to the numerous Alpine tours on offer. Some suggestions for your next mountain tour at Dachstein in the Salzkammergut you will find on our website.

The Professional Services Council (PSC) has challenged the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in a new letter complaining that the federal agency has still yet to notify millions of employees and contractors that their sensitive personal information may have been exposed in a breach. "Unfortunately, it has now been more than four weeks since the first public release of the existence of the second breach and still no notifications have been sent out," Stan Soloway, PSC President and CEO wrote in a letter to OPM's new acting director Beth Cobert. "These estimated 21.5 million employees and their family members are not sure of their exposure."

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling that its judges said could have come straight out of a telenovela, or Spanish soap opera.
By Michael A. Mora
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling that its judges said could have come straight out of a telenovela, or Spanish soap opera. Writing for the appeals court, Senior Circuit Judge Stanley Marcus wrote in the opinion that the "protracted legal battle," which spanned over nearly a decade, "ultimately devolved into a battle over control of this otherwise ordinary copyright case." The circuit court senior judge noted, "This appeal revolves around an issue of corporate control — who speaks for and manages the business affairs of LaTele Television, C.A., a Venezuelan corporation.

90% Of Illinois' COVID Victims Were Over 60, Half From Long-Term Care Facilities
Authored by Ted Dabrowski via Wirepoints.org,
Want to save more Illinoisans from COVID? Vaccinate the elderly first.
For months, Gov. J.B. Pritzker has used lockdowns as his main way to handle the COVID pandemic, ignoring calls for him to focus on the elderly instead. The governor's approach has been a major policy failure, resulting in far too much tragedy. Nearly 90 percent of the state's 18,000 COVID victims were over the age of 60, with nearly 50 percent of all COVID deaths tied to long-term care facilities.
Now that vaccines are finally available, Pritzker is repeating the same mistake again. Rather than make the elderly and the frontline staff that take care of them his number one priority for vaccinations, the governor is including a host of "essential workers" – and prisoners, even – at the same level of priority. He's calling it an "equity-centric vaccination approach."
It's a huge mistake to give all those groups equal priority. Unless they happen to be elderly, every vaccine given to the 1.3 million "essential" workers will be one that can't be given to one of the 1.9 million Illinoisans over age 65 – the group by far most at risk from dying.
Pritzker's inoculation approach is similar to those used in other states, where other factors like occupation only add more bureaucratic rules that slow the vaccination process down. In New York, that's led to doses going to waste or sitting idly on shelves. Overall delays have been so significant across the nation that the Wall Street Journal reported last week "only 9.3 million of the 27.7 million vaccine doses that have been shipped to states have been administered."
The vaccination process shouldn't be that complicated. Illinois state officials have known for months who should be first in line: the elderly. The simplest and most effective way to save lives is to administer the vaccine based on age: the older or more infirm the person, the more priority they should receive. After all, the state's case fatality rate for Illinoisans in their 70s is 65 times higher than for those in their 30s (7.47% vs 0.115%).
For sure, if a teacher, a cashier or a prisoner is elderly, give them the vaccine. Or if they have a serious pre-existing condition – diabetes or obesity, for example – vaccinate them. But overall, Illinoisans in nursing homes, their caregivers and other key frontline workers, people with severe pre-existing conditions, and all residents over 65 should all take first priority in getting vaccinated.
(To get the full story on Illinois' vaccine rollout, read The Pantagraph's "Can Illinois pick up the pace of vaccinations as it moves to the next phase?")
Illinois' flawed rollout
Illinois is still in Phase 1A, the initial vaccination rollout that includes inoculating frontline healthcare workers as well as residents of long-term care facilities. As of Jan. 14, the state ranked 19th in the country for percentage of doses administered. Overall, the state has administered 403,000 of the 958,000 doses (42 percent) already distributed to Illinois. And just over 105,500 Illinoisans, or 0.83 percent of all Illinosans, have been fully vaccinated as of Jan. 17.
Phase 1B, which Pritzker has said Illinois will move to on January 25th, will finally authorize all seniors 65 and above, about 1.9 million people, to get the vaccine. The phase also prioritizes "essential workers," about 1.3 million people, and now prisoners, to receive the vaccine as well.
Trying to distribute a limited number of vaccines among those millions of people will likely hurt Pritzker's goals for equity. Vaccinating all teachers, for example, would actually hurt the governor's goal because 82 percent of educators in Illinois are white – plus it would deprive the elderly of desperately needed vaccines.
In contrast, both elderly Hispanic and black Illinoisans suffer from far higher case fatality rates than white residents. Protect the elderly first and you necessarily protect minorities first, too. Nearly 80 percent of all minority COVID deaths have occurred in the 60-and-over age bracket.
Of course, setting up vaccination centers as close as possible to the most impacted minority communities in Illinois is critical to making vaccination there a success.
The state's failure to prioritize vaccinations for the elderly can be represented by a simple anecdote of mine: My mother, an 81 year-old cancer survivor, continues to be frustrated by the vaccination process. She, like every other Illinoisan in her age range, should already be targeted for vaccination. But it's been impossible for her to find out any information about when or where a vaccine will be available for her.
She called her doctor's office and was told they had no information or timelines for when she could get vaccinated. She also called her hospital network and got the same answer: no info. I received the same response today when I called the hospital myself. My mother would have to wait anyway, I was told, because the hospital group hadn't yet finished vaccinating its own staff yet.
I hear similar stories from friends whose parents are in nursing homes. They are still waiting.
You'd think by now the state's health officials would be loath to fail Illinois' elderly again, but that seems to be exactly what they're doing.
