The Enigma of Numbers – Developing Sensitivity by R. Murray Denning
Home/Aether Physics/The Enigma of Numbers – Developing Sensitivity by R. Murray Denning
It is now time to move on from considering the personalities of Radionics and their work, to exploring one of the mechanical workings … numbers, since these are fundamental to all Radionic systems, the very nuts and bolts of its existence.
Whether they are regarded as key links to a psychic plane or as creating scientifically regarded radiations is a personal conviction often debated in Radionic circles.
Both methods produce healing successes. Whichever method is used they are the medium through which all measurements are taken, and students inevitably are curious to know how these numbers are chosen or worked out. Perhaps this chapter may help throw some light on this difficult and abstruse subject.
My first encounter with numbers came when I called on a friend at his bookshop off the Charing Cross Road in London. While I was looking round he asked me what I was currently doing. I replied, "Studying Radiesthesia." "God help you!" was his comment. I countered this observation by asking if there were any books on the subject. "No, none at all," he replied. "You're a great help," I said.
Soon after this exchange I turned to leave the shop, but as I was going through the door my friend called me back.
"There are two books that might help you. Theoretic Arithmetic of the Pythagoreans by Thomas Taylor and Key to the Hebrew Egyptian Mystery in the Source of Measures by J. Ralston Skinner. However, both are rare and you won't be able to get them."
"Thank you, you're still a great help," I replied and left the shop. But I made a mental note of the titles and the authors even though I was too occupied to pursue the matter further at the time.
My story now takes a strange twist. At the time I was living in the country and one afternoon a complete stranger came to see me. I found that he wanted me to hypnotize him, but I refused to do so since I did not know him and had had no introduction to him.
In spite of this he stayed and our chat went on all afternoon, until at last I was forced to tell him he would have to leave as I had other work to do. As he was going he suddenly said, out of the blue, for we had not discussed books, "By the way, if you ever want any rare or difficult-to-obtain books, try Weisers of New York."
My mind went straight back to the conversation I had had in London with my bookseller friend, and I remembered his comments about non-availability of books. I sat down at once and wrote to Weisers and within a fortnight, to my surprise and delight, they replied stating that they had both books for me!
In the introduction to Theoretic Arithmetic Manly P. Hall writes:
"Thomas Taylor, the author of this remarkable treatise on the philosophy of numbers was the greatest Platonist of the modern world. He was a prodigy of erudition and industry. He translated into English the complete works of Plato and Aristotle, and numerous but scarcely less important fragments of classical learning. In addition to these translations Mr. Taylor composed several original works, of which his 'Theoretical Arithmetic' is the most important.
"Unfortunately no complete system of numerical divination has descended to this age from the old mystery schools. The Pythagorean philosophers, after the martyrdom of their master, were scattered throughout the Mediterranean countries and left to posterity no complete account of their numerical tradition.
"The third book of Theoretic Arithmetic is devoted to philosophising on the virtues of numbers, contains practically all of the fragments of genuine Pythagorean onomanics which have survived the ruin of time. From these fragments it will be evident that to the Samian Initiate numbers were the elements of a sublime theological symbolism. Through the study of Mathematics Pythagoras invited all men to communion with the Gods.
"… Numerology as it is practiced today derives its premise from a short statement of Iamblicus to the effect that Pythagoras perfected a system of divination by numbers, based upon the secret traditions which had descended from Orpheus. In the sixth and seventh centuries before Christ it was customary for the ancient Greeks to perform divinations from the entrails of specially sacrificed animals and birds. Pythagoras condemned this practice and substituted therefore arithmomancy, the oracular use of numbers, as more acceptable to the Gods and not harmful to any living creature. It should not be inferred, however, from the words of Iamblicus, that Pythagoras actually invented numerology. The use of numbers for symbolical and divinatory purposes was common to nearly all ancient religious systems. Well developed systems of numerology are to be found in the older writings of the Chinese, Egyptians and Jews. Numerological cabbalism is usually found closely associated with astrology and magic." The following is on the flyleaf of his book.
THEORETIC ARITHMETIC
contains the substance of all that has been written on the subject by Theo of Smyrna, Nicomachus, Iambilchus, and Boetus — together with some remarkable particulars respecting perfect, amicable, and other numbers, which are not to be found in the writings of any ancient or modern mathematicians. Likewise, a specimen of the manner in which the Pythagoreans philosophized about numbers; and a development of their mystical and theological arithmetic.
By Thomas Taylor
Key to the Hebrew-Egyptian Mystery in the Source of Measures J. Ralston Skinner
"Originating the British Inch and the Ancient Cubit, by which man built the Great Pyramid of Egypt and the Temple of Soloman; and through the possession and use of which man, assuming to realise the creative law of the deity, set it forth in a Mystery, among the Hebrew called Kabbala."
This is a highly abstract mathematical treatise. In the introduction we read:
"Contents of an essay or study rather than, strictly speaking, a work. The whole a series of developments based upon the use of geometrical elements, giving expression in numerical value, founded on the integral values of the circle, rediscovered by the late John A. Parker, and by Peter Metius in the 16th century. Brief statements of these developments; the greatest being that the system from whence their derivation was anciently considered to be one resting in nature, or God, as the basis, or law, of the exertion practically of creative design: as such to be found as underlaying the Biblical structure. This introduction contains the Hebrew alphabet, with the values and powers of the letters, and some of their supposed symbols, with some remarks on the hieroglyphic use of the letters."
Chapters include:
Quadrature of the Circle by John A. Parker, and reflections on.
Problem of Three Revolving Bodies by Mr. Parker.
British System of Long and Land Measures, inclusive of an occult
System of Time Measurement.
Introduction to Construction of Great Pyramid.
Temple of Solomon.
Another line of investigation was through Dr. Drown. I wrote to her on several occasions asking if she would advise me if there was a fundamental LAW by which she had arrived at the numbers for her work. Her answer came in a leaflet 'Drown Radio-Therapy' where she had written: "The so-called 'rates' were originally worked out from histological structures of the animal body … the pathological diseases were taken from specimens found and so labelled in medical hospitals." I felt confident, however, after reading her other books that she must have had some other specific system from which to work as well. I became certain that she KNEW the deep meaning of her combination of figures, and that she combined it with a profound spiritual understanding of natural laws in their application. So I persisted and on numerous occasions I asked her if this was correct, but she was always reticent on the subject. Eventually she wrote to me saying:
"I have worked out a comprehensive study on the numbers of the Qabalah, which, of course, go back to the very essence of Life itself. It seems quite true that people are using these numbers in what they call a 'code', and yet they have no understanding of what the 'code' stands for!"
I now know that this clue leads one towards the Principles involved in the meaning of numbers, although at the time I had no idea what a profound question I had asked her. Subsequent experience made me aware of the vastness of the subject I had inadvertently broached.
On this subject one must also consider the teachings of other early writers, for certain great rhythms and numbers in nature affect every moment of our lives. In Nature's Harmonic Unity Samuel Coleman gives numerous illustrations, which he analyses, showing that the triangle, the square, the pentagon and pentagram, the hexagon and the hexagram and the octagon are the determining geometrical elements of tiny plants. These and the circle provide all the geometrical patterns for the manifold forms of the physical world.
He shows also that the angles and lines of these microscopic members of the vegetable kingdom are the precise angles and lines utilised in the planning of the Parthenon, in the construction of the Great Pyramid and in the composition of innumerable works by the greatest painters and sculptors.
By the proportions centred in these simple figures all force relations in the Universe are determined. Sound vibrations, both in pitch and volume, are determined by the same principles. All the play of Light and Colour follow the same laws of form. And the spirals of a shell are the logarithmetic spirals which are the basis of all forms.
Manly P. Hall has produced many diagrams in his large Encyclopaedia of Masonic and Hermetic Symbolismto illustrate these facts.
All this made me think much more along Esoteric lines. As often happens when one comes in contact with Radionics, one is suddenly confronted with possibilities of deliberately developing one's sensitivity. For many this is not a major factor, and it must be made clear that one can become an excellent Radionic Practitioner without esotericism. It is against esoteric teaching that this type of self-development can or should be forced on beginners … offered maybe … but forced … never. The choice must be left to each individual. For those who wish to use such facilities, they are confronted by a wide selection of training; many systems of approach become confusingly evident. Broadly speaking there are those who advocate the Eastern Tradition in various forms.
There is a safer although longer method of which many may not be aware. This lies in the teachings of the Western Tradition.
"The life of any person is necessarily influenced by the customs and traditions of his race. Thus escape from the world, which is normal in the East, is pathological in the West. Western occult systems do not seek ways of escape. They seek mastery of the hidden powers, both within and without, enabling the initiate to control his environment while he continues to live in it." Dr. Paul Case, founder of 'The Builders of the Adytum' sets out the Western Tradition in the pamphlet 'The Open Door' (see Bibliography). This system of the Ancient Wisdom is known as the Hermetic Arts, after Hermes Trismegistus who is reported to be its founder. The Seven Hermetic Principles are set out in a book The Kybalion and is a study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece. Written by 'Three Initiates' these principles I now set out as described in this hook. This will be followed by considering the practical applications of this philosophy.
The Seven Hermetic Principles
"The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study.
"From the land of the Ganges many advanced occultists wandered to the land of Egypt, and sat at the feet of the Master, Hermes Trismegistus, Master of Masters.
"In all the ancient lands, the name of Hermes Tris-megistus was revered, the name being synonymous with the 'Fount of Truth'.
"The Principles of Truth are seven; he who knows these, understanding^, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open.
"The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based are as follows:
1. The Principle of Mentalism– The ALL is Mind. The Universe is Mental.
2. The Principle of Correspondence– This principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the Laws and Phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life.
3. The Principle of Vibration– Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.
4. The Principle of Polarity– Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same, opposites are identical to nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; paradoxes may be reconciled.
5. The Principle of Rhythm– Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.
6. The Principle of Cause and Effect– Every Cause has its Effect; Every effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but the name for Law not recognised; there are many places of causation, but nothing escapes the l aw
7. The Principle of Gender – Gender is in everything; every has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes." Now let us turn to the practical applications of the Hermetic Arts which include The Holy Kabalah, Tarot, Alchemy and Astrology. Unfortunately these have been misused, even debased in the past but when seriously studied, they serve as a dependable guide on the road to Mastership. They are largely based on symbolism which is a universal language, and gradually lead to higher states of consciousness.
Let us first look at Tarot and I quote from Dr. Case's book of that name.
"Tarot is a pictorial text-book of Ageless Wisdom. From its pages has been drawn inspiration for some of the most important works on occult science published during the last seventy-five years. Its influence on the minds of a few enlightened thinkers may be traced throughout the history of the modern revival of interest in esoteric science and philosophy.
"This revival of interest began in 1854 with the publication of Eliphas Levi's Dogma and Ritual of Transcendental Magic, first of a series of occult writings in which he names the Tarot as his most important source of information.
"Levi's opinion of The Tarot was very high." He said:
"As an erudite Kabalistic book, all combinations of which reveal the harmonies pre-existing between signs, letters and numbers, the practical value of the Tarot is truly, and above all, marvellous. A prisoner devoid of books, had he only a Tarot of which he knew how to make use, could in a few years acquire a universal science, and converse with unequalled doctrine and inex-haustable eloquence.
"The oldest examples of Tarot designs now preserved in European museums were probably made about 1390. According to an occult tradition, in which I am inclined to place confidence, the actual date of its invention was about the year 1200 A.D.
"The inventors, this tradition avers, were a group of Adepts who met at stated intervals in the City of Fez, in Morocco. After the destruction of Alexandria, Fez became the literary and scientific capital of the world. Thither, from all parts of the globe, came wise men of all nations, speaking all tongues. Their conferences were made difficult by difference in language and philosophical terminology. So they hit upon the device of embodying the most important of their doctrines in a book of pictures, whose combinations should depend on the occult harmonies of numbers."
In the chapter on the occult meaning of numbers Dr. Case writes:
"In this chapter we shall consider the occult significance of the numbers from Zero to Ten, with particular reference to the esoteric meanings of the so-called 'Arabic' numerals. As a matter of fact, these numerals were invented by Hindu priests, from whom they were borrowed, (and slightly altered), by the Arab Mathematicians who introduced them into Europe. The key to the meaning of the numerals is the diagram which appears at the frontispiece of this book."
"Readers of these pages, who are familiar with occult symbolism, will percieve that the basis of the construction of this diagram is the six-pointed star, known as 'The Shield of David' and 'The Star of the Macrocosm'. Years ago, one of the Theosophical Masters declared that the system of six circles, tangent to a central seventh, is a key to the construction of the Cosmos. At that time, the Master's meaning was not grasped by the student to whom the statement was made.
"I hope the inclusion of this diagram may stimulate some of my readers to further research. Want of space forbids my developing the various details. I shall therefore content myself by saying that this one diagram is a key to the geometrical construction of the Great Pyramid; to a very close approximation to the squaring of the circle, to the true occult meaning of the apron worn by Free Masons, to the construction of the Qabalistic diagram known as The Tree of Life, (which has been called 'a key to all things'), and to the proportions of the mysterious vault in which the body of the founder of the Rosicrucian Order is said to have been discovered. These are but a small selection of the mysteries to which this one diagram affords a clue." Who then are 'The Builders of the Adytum'? "They are an authentic Mystery School. Its system is that of the Western Tradition, and its teachings have been handed down from one group of Initiates to another since very ancient times."
What can be expected from this training?
"Firstly there will be a gradual improvement in the ability to concentrate, to think through plans with clarity, and act on them correctly."
"Creative imagination and discrimination are heightened and also control of One's path of Spiritual growth. Under their direction students learn the essential requirements of esotericism by monthly instalments, so that they are not plunged into a mass of occult terminology." This is followed by study of the Tarot Keys, with careful colouring instructions which students paint for themselves. This gives each one a set of cards suitable to his own psyche, yet conforming to the same pattern of design for all. After this a year is spent studying the meaning of the symbolism and leading on, over a further four years or so, to experience in the art of healing, balancing the personality by the use of colour and sound, and the methods of Tarot interpretation leading to the attainment of higher consciousness.
An explanation of the occult diagram that is called 'The Tree of Life' and revelations of the secrets of Spiritual Alchemy are also given.
All this brings one face to face with such questions as … What is life about … The Inner Being of Man … Life and Death … Nature and Immortality … and many others?
The other important step is to be able to consider where one wants to go and what one wants to be in this life.
For a long time in the past secrecy was necessary about such matters but today, 'closed doors' are not necessary, for the secrecy applying today which guards the deeper meanings is by not possessing the ability to understand the concepts involved, or the reasoning required to master such an advanced science.
Through training with 'The Builders of the Adytum' theoretical knowledge is gradually imparted to students alongside experimental work. The Student finds he gradually gains mastery over small things, then over greater. He must learn about the forces with which he will be working, and to discover that his own determination and willingness to work will be the measure by which he achieves his results. There are no short-cuts to enlightenment.
Albeit, in spite of the divergencies in this method between East and West, their similarities in principles should also be recognised. These similarities I will show in my next chapter.

India's first ever mission to Mars "Mangalyaan" completed its first stage
Currentaffairs4examz 5.11.13 Achievements , Current Affairs , India , Technology
>>India's first ever mission to Mars successfully completed its first stage on Tuesday, as a rocket carrying the Mangalyaan Mars orbiter delivered the spacecraft into earth's orbit, some 45 minutes after lift-off.
>> "I am happy to announce that the Mars orbiter mission first phase is a success," said Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K Radhakrishnan soon after the rocket injected the spacecraft into an Earth orbit about 45 minutes of flight. About 90 minutes after a drizzle raised minor concerns about weather among lay people, the 44.4m PSLV-C25 carrying in its head India's first Mars orbiter, lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 2.38pm.
>> The textbook lift-off of ISRO's workhorse launch vehicle PSLV C25 at 2.38 p.m. from Satish Dhawan Space Centre here, about 100 km from Chennai, was witnessed among others by Minister of State in PMO, V. Narayanasamy, US Ambassador to India, Nancy Powell, Indian Space Research Organisation Chairman, K. Radhakrishnan, and a host of other officials.
>> The XL version of PSLV C 25 had carried Chandrayaan 1, the country's maiden moon mission, in 2008.
>> After going around Earth for 20-25 days in an elliptical orbit (perigee of 250 km and apogee of 23,500 km), the Rs 450-crore orbiter would begin a nine-month long voyage to Mars around 12.42 a.m. on December 1.
>> It is expected to reach the red planet's orbit by September 24, 2014 and go around in an elliptical orbit (periapsis of 366 km and apo-apsis of 80,000 km).
>> The Mars mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation is aimed at establishing the country's capability to reach the red planet and focus on looking for the presence of methane, an indicator of life in Mars.
>> Mars Orbiter has five scientific instruments — Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP), Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM), Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA), Mars Colour Camera (MCC) and Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS).
>> European Space Agency (ESA) of the European consortium, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the US and Roscosmos of Russia are the three agencies which have successfully sent their missions to the red planet.
>> India would be the sixth after the US, USSR/Russia, European Union, China and Japan to launch a Mars mission.

The first record I bought was Abba's Arrival. The second was Blondie's Parallel Lines. I was a little in love with Debbie Harry. Weren't we all?
Blondie has stood the test of time. But these days Blondie is less of an aural treat and more of an oral one for me. I have at last discovered the Blondie (as opposed to the Brownie). It's a squishy tray bake, like a chocolate brownie, but with a caramelly buttery flavour, almost like butterscotch. And of course the regular blondie can be pimped up, by adding all manner of bling. In this recipe I've added dark choc chips, brazil nuts, ginger and dried sour cherries. And they rock.
Grease and line an 8″ square baking tray. Pre-heat oven to GM5.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and salt. Leave to one side.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted butter – this is easiest with an electric beater. Don't worry if it's still a bit bumpy and grainy.
Add the egg and vanilla and keep beating – it'll change colour to a much lighter tan and will become fluffy and almost moussy.
With a large metal spoon stir the flour mix into the buttery mix. Fold it in, without beating, or you will lose the lightness of the mix.
Add the ginger, nuts, chocolate and cherries (or whatever you are pimping the mix with) and stir through.
The mix will be relatively thick. Spoon it onto the baking tray, and spread it out.
Bake for about 25 minutes, until the blondies are smelling too good to leave for a minute more, and they look golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool for about 20 mins before removing from tray and cutting into slices.
Perfect with an afternoon coffee. A proper real strong coffee.
I do love a traybake. You may have noticed that I have more recipes for chocolate brownies on this blog than perhaps is strictly necessary. But I haven't really indulged my love of a traybake with other recipes. That is about to change. You can look forward to such joys as the Malteser Traybake, various variations on a flapjack and a frangipane bakewell style thing. But for today you have the utter delight that is Sue Lawrence's Lemony Fridge Cake. Checking her book I see that she calls it Lemon Fudge Cake. Whatever you call it, its a great and super easy recipe; and the perfect go-to recipe if you have a spare packet of digestives and a can of condensed milk in the cupboard, and a lemon or two to use up.
For those who don't know Sue Lawrence, do yourself a favour and seek her out, or at least her writing. Her books are very readable – both well researched and well-written. And I've tried many of her recipes over the years and not one has ever failed. That's some good cookery writing. This recipe is taken from her Book of Baking (although for some reason I've re-written the instructions).
If you're looking for instant results, this isn't the recipe for you – but it needs no actual baking, and is simplicity itself.
While the butter is melting, smash the digestives till they are mostly breadcrumb-like. A few larger lumps are fine. I do this by putting the biscuits into a high-sided bowl and bashing it with the rounded end of a basic rolling pin.
Pour the condensed milk in with the melted butter and mix them together.
Mix the sifted icing sugar with the lemon juice and carefully spread this over the biscuit base. Use a palette knife to spread it so it covers the whole base. Chill again.
Cut into bars. You should be able to get 24 bars in total.
If you want to see other recipes you'll find them all listed here.
I was away on business for 10 days, and when I got back the Captain had re-discovered butteries. They weren't quite as he remembered them, not as flaky. Or buttery I suspect. But then they had been bought from one of the cheaper supermarkets, you know one of the ones with an i, an l and a d in its name.
We pondered how they might be made, and I thought it would probably involve a yeast dough, and some butter and/or lard and a lot of folding and rolling. And it turns out I was right. So, making butteries is the perfect Sunday activity. There's not much to do, but you have to do it in short bursts of activity over a long period of time. To put it another way, you can read your Sunday papers, and every three quarters of an hour or so you have to go into the kitchen for 5 minutes. Easy peasy.
But not really a recommended activity if you are trying to stick to a low carb diet.
Yup, you read that right, there is 375g of fat to the 500g of flour. This is NOT a healthy product.
First of all, make the yeasted dough, by mixing the first 5 ingredients in a bowl, and then kneading the soft dough for about 10 minutes. It's a squishy, wet dough, so I kneaded it with both hands, pulling the dough upwards from the work surface and then slapping it back down again. You're aiming to stretch the dough, helping the gluten do its funky thing.
Once you've done your 10 minute dough-y workout, pop the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with some clingfilm, or a hotel showercap if you have one, and leave it in a warm place to prove for about an hour – you want it to double in size.
While the dough is doing its doubling thing, you need to get back into the kitchen and pop the lard and butter into a bowl. If your kitchen is freezy cold, then chuck it into the microwave for a minute or two at 30% power to soften it, otherwise the next stage will be nearly impossible.
Using electric beaters, beat the butter and lard together till it's combined and soft and feels a bit like Mr Whippy ice cream.
The next stage is to combine the buttery mixture and the dough – but you want to create layers, so you're not going to just whack it all in together, you need to roll and spread and fold and chill. And repeat. But let me explain in better detail.
Fold the unbutterd third of the dough over onto the middle third, and then fold the buttered third over on top. Press the short edges together lightly, wrap the dough in greaseproof paper and pop it into the fridge.
Take the dough out of the fridge, and pop it back on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin and press it sequentially along the block of dough, in one direction and then the other. (this is so that you don't end up smooshing all the butter towards one end of the block) Then roll it lightly in the traditional manner to create a rectangle again. Spread it with the second third of the buttery mix again; again just covering two thirds of the rectangle. Fold in the same way as before. Squish the edges together again and, yes, you guessed it, wrap it in greaseproof and pop it in the fridge.
Read more of the paper.
Do more of the pressing, rolling, spreading, folding routine.
There, have you done with all the butter?
Feel free to cool in the fridge again, especially if your kitchen is toasty warm.
Cool on a wire rack, with some kitchen paper on it, to absorb some of the excessive buttery goodness.
If you're lucky, your butteries won't be sitting in a pool of fat when you take them out of the oven. I wasn't so lucky, but that's why I'm telling you to pinch the edges after each fold. I didn't do that. Also, I hadn't spread the first layer thinly enough. But anyway, despite not having brilliant lamination and having lots of butter melting out of the butteries, they are quite scrumptious. And very easy, just time consuming, to make.

TOWNSHEND—A forum of the four Democratic candidates for State Senate kicked the 2014 election season into gear.
About 50 people filled the small first-floor meeting room of the Townshend Town Hall the evening of July 24. The candidates answered questions on healthcare reform, school consolidation, energy policies, economic development, and campaign finance.
Incumbent Sen. Jeanette White of Putney and newcomers Becca Balint of Brattleboro, Joan Bowman of Putney, and former state Commissioner of Agriculture Roger Allbee of Townshend spoke before an attentive audience.
The candidates came armed with stories, personal anecdotes, and passion for Vermont.
The four are vying for two prize slots in the state Democratic primary, Aug. 26.
The Senate race is the county's only contested primary race. Candidates Aaron Diamondstone of Marlboro and Jerry Levy of Brattleboro will appear on the Liberty Union primary ballot. Mary Hasson of Brattleboro is running as an independent.
The Republican Party does not have a primary, and does not have a candidate for Senate.
Armchair quarterbacks at Thursday's forum mused that a contested primary was as important as the election. Given the Democratic Party's strength in Windham County, the winners of this primary likely would win the November election.
Allbee, who grew up in Brookline, answered, "We need to grow jobs in Windham County." He pointed to his experience as agriculture commissioner in the Douglas administration in helping to bring Commonwealth Dairy to Brattleboro and Big Picture Farm to Townshend.
Attracting or keeping companies and workers, however, was one puzzle piece, Allbee said, adding that ensuring the county has the environment, culture, and quality of life that people want to call home comprises the bigger picture.
Balint, an educator, consultant, and newspaper columnist, said she decided to run for the Senate because the lingering impact of the 2007-08 economic collapse continues to put the squeeze on the middle class.
She wants to tackle issues around rising property taxes and workforce development. Building coalitions, listening deeply to the details of people's concerns, and finding where opposing concerns overlap were skills Balint claimed for herself and Vermont.
Balint related a memory from the day she and her wife moved into their new Brattleboro home. Her feelings of excitement dissolved when she spotted an anti-civil-unions "Take Back Vermont" sign at her neighbor's.
Yet, a few years later when the same neighbor came to her for help, Balint said she helped him. "We are Vermonters and we do not let our political differences come between us," she said.
Healthcare Navigator and business consultant Joan Bowman said she had not written an introduction. She opted to speak from her heart.
"I want to see single-payer [health care] enacted," said Bowman, who added she also wanted to create an incubator space to foster entrepreneurs.
After some prompting from Galbraith, White confirmed that in fourth grade during the 1952 election, it took three teachers to pull her off a classmate who had had the gall to praise then-vice presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon.
"I do think I've learned better techniques," she said.
White spoke of her 12-year legacy in the Senate, including pushing a change to the Vermont Constitution that allows 17-year-olds to vote in a primary if they will turn 18 by November's general election.
For strengths, White pointed to her ability to look at all sides of an issue, build relationships, and find the solutions that serve all Vermonters.
All the candidates supported the state's healthcare reforms and moving to a single-payer system. None, however, had concrete plans for financing the new system but thought a combination of payroll and income tax possible.
Balint said that moving to single payer-financed health care will create a different relationship between the people and their state government. It will require an emotional and psychological shift, she said, and she hoped people would prevent their emotions from interfering in larger decisions.
The candidates were slightly divided on mandatory school district consolidation.
Allbee, Bowman, and White opposed mandatory consolidation as outlined in an education bill that did not make it through the Legislature during the recent session.
"[Consolidation] is going to happen because we have a declining school population," Balint said.
Instead of sticking our heads in the sand, she said, Vermonters should keep kids at the center of the equation ensuring they receive the services they deserve regardless of where they live.
The candidates also agreed that to meet Vermont's energy needs, increased use of solar and wind power, along with weatherization of homes and other conservation measures, deserved consideration.
Local communities that may host a commercial energy project also deserved a voice in the Public Service Board's permitting process, agreed the candidates.
Balint and White would stop short of granting towns veto powers over the PSB's authority to site an energy project in a particular town. White said giving individual towns veto powers might set a harmful precedent.
The issue of a commercial wind project affecting the towns of Windham, Grafton, and Townshend inspired a few loud comments from the audience.
White said that developing energy installations needs balance. While she didn't want all ridgelines in Vermont covered with wind turbines, she said that some ridgelines may be sacrificed for the common good.
Constructing solar panels on prime agricultural soils is foolish, she said, then added that Vermont needs to become more engaged with ISO New England, the region's energy distribution utility.
White and Galbraith re-enacted a little of their legislative argy-bargy when Galbraith asked the candidates whether they would vote to ban direct corporate contributions to candidates.
The short story: Last year, Galbraith supported a bill to ban such contributions. White did not. The Senate also supported banning corporate contributions. Later it reversed its decision.
"Absolutely," said Allbee. Bowman concurred. Balint said she would support changing corporate donations if the state also closed a loophole that allowed wealthy candidates to give unlimited amounts to their own campaigns.
White said the issue remained complicated. Banning corporate contributions could increase the number of political action committees (PACs) and also decrease transparency.
Candidates even had an opportunity to state why they chose to run on the Democratic ticket.
White answered, "The Democratic party is where my heart is," then reminisced about her parents' involvement in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in her native Minnesota.
Her father's experience instilled in Balint a belief in the promise of democracy. She said that to her the Democratic Party represents the party that cares for the people with the least power.
Bowman said she has always been a Democrat, going back to her days growing up in Michigan.
Allbee had a different story. In the 2004 election, he said that he ran as a liberal Republican in the vein of George D. Aiken and Robert H. Gibson. In this election, however, he changed to the Democratic Party because today's Republican Party "no longer has room" for people like him.
When asked what actions they would take to make doing business in Windham County easier, Balint, a member of the Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategies Workforce Committee, stressed workforce development and school systems that provided employment routes.
Bowman said young people and entrepreneurs need an incubator space and sources of business capital. White said the county needs a loan and grant program with creative payback structures.
Allbee said Windham County's new jobs will come from innovators, and that businesses here need a coordinator they can turn to for step-by-step assistance through the whole start-up process.
The Windham County Democratic Committee hosted the forum. The next forum is Thursday, July 31, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Bellows Falls Opera House.
A third forum is planned for Windham. The final forum is set for Brattleboro, Thursday, Aug. 21. More details about these final two forums will be released in the coming weeks.

"Por Amarte Así" (English: "Loving You This Way") is a song written by Alejandro Montalbán and Eduardo Reyes and performed by Mexican recording artist Cristian Castro.

Pedophile Enabling Judge McKeon Gives 60 Day Sentence To Child Raping Father
SIGN THE PETITION AND SHARE PUT THIS PEDOPHILE ENABLER ON THE STREETS! 75,000 AS OF 10/21/2016 OF 150,000 NEEDED!
No one spoke on behalf of the 12 year old child at trial. No one. Not mother, not grandmother, not family, not church…NO ONE including the raping beast of a "father"!
Hopefully…no…I am sure that the State Bar of Montana FAMILY LAW SECTION is having as featured speakers Judge John McKeon and Social "Friend of Pedophiles" Worker Michael Sullivan! Come one come all and learn the latest strategy for enabling and eventually LEGALIZING PEDOPHILIA IN MONTANA!
AND SO DOES JUDGES LIKE JUDGE MCKEON AND SOCIAL WORKER MICHAEL SULLIVAN!
Closet Pedophile Free Mason Judge McKeon
As of today…almost 75,000 people had signed a Change.org petition calling for his impeachment for the 60-day sentence he gave a Glasgow, Mont., man who pleaded guilty to repeatedly raping his prepubescent daughter.
SIGN THE PETITION AND RETIRE THIS "FRIEND OF PEDOPHILES" ON THE STREETS!
"A father repeatedly raped his 12-year old daughter," Deputy Valley County Attorney Dylan Jenson said during an Oct. 4 sentencing hearing.
"It's time to start punishing the judges who let these monsters walk our streets," read the petition.
Prosecutors had recommended a mandatory 25-year sentence, 100 years with 75 suspended, which is what state law calls for.
Instead, though, Judge McKeon handed down a far lighter sentence: a 30-year suspended prison sentence, which means the man will only serve it if he fails to meet the conditions of his probation.
Among those conditions, which McKeon called "quite rigorous," was the requirement for the man to register as a sex offender, the Glasgow Courier reported. He also cannot access pornography and has limited access to the Internet.
In addition, the man will serve 60 days in jail, but McKeon gave him credit for the 17 days he already served, meaning he'll only spend another 43 days in jail.

This sick bastard son of Satan Free Masonic Judge and enabler of raping of children by their FATHER makes a statement on this LINK!
Read and understand that he and The (closet) Pedophile Upholder Psycho Shrink Sullivan have one thing in common…making raping of children LEGAL is what their "subliminal motive" is in their "decisions"!
"A licensed clinical social worker testified that the man was a low-risk to re-offend and that it would be important for him to have social support while he received treatment. The social worker, Michael Sullivan of Billings, said the man did suffer a "collapse of social support" when he lost his family and job."
The Raping of Children Pedophiles Best Friend in Montana! Hey PEDOPHILES…this IS the State to move to…just ask Michael Sullivan right before and after you rape/sodomize another child! He loves being "nice" to raping of children pedophiles!
Click HERE to see where Sullivan is going with his recommendation and then read below!
And HERE to see how a "Sullivan" views a pedophile that needs "treatment"…because the child was "in love" with the pedophile!
"Montana's other sentencing policies include punishment commensurate with the nature and degree of harm caused and sentence in a manner that protects the public, restores the victim and increases the sense of public safety (46-18-101(1)(a)-(c))"
Psycho-sexual evaluation (by the best friend a raping pedophile could ever have Michael Sullivan) and contemplated a lesser sentence when stating the following: "If the findings contained in the sexual offender assessment report prepared by a qualified sexual offender evaluator recommends that the treatment of the offender while in a local community affords a better opportunity for rehabilitation of the offender and the ultimate protection of the victim and society, the defendant may argue for a lesser punishment."
And click HERE to see why Sullivan is GOING TO HELL WITH THE FATHER in ignoring totally the child who was repeatedly RAPED by her father!
READ THIS to understand the spiritual depravity AND SECRET LIFE OF A PEDOPHILE!
The Father Rapist endorsed by wife, mother, family, and CHURCH (of Satan)!
The mother wrote the court that her husband "made a horrible choice" but a 25-year prison term was not the best punishment.
"He needs help," she wrote the court. "He has two sons that still love him and need their father in their lives, even with very understandable restrictions. I would like to see my children have an opportunity to heal the relationship with their father. Please give him the opportunity to work on fixing the relationships he destroyed. He is not a monster, just a man that really screwed up and has been paying in many ways."
The grandmother wrote that the man's "children, especially his sons, will be devastated if their Dad is no longer part of their lives."

Seven Questions to ...
Dr. Stefan Sypcher (CEO Careum)
1. Who are you?
I am a trained economist and political scientist, and for a long time, I ran my own company in the field of contract research together with two co-founders. From there, the path led to Careum via the Swiss Health Observatory and the Federal Office of Public Health. If I draw a thread through my curriculum vitae, then it leads from the development of scientific foundations for politics ever closer to political decision-making itself to the concrete implementation of health policy in the form of education and training of health personnel. In my private life, I am married and have two grown-up children.
2. What profession did you want to achieve as a child?
Professional soccer player with Young Boys. I couldn't imagine anything more attractive. Franz Beckenbauer, Ruud Krol, the great central defenders were my role models.
3. Is the position of CEO of Careum a dream job?
For me, it is a dream job at the moment. The opportunity to change came up at exactly the right time after 12 years as vice-director at the FOPH. Careum is in a very interesting transition phase. After many years of building up, we are now coming to a consolidation. I also met many very competent and motivated employees. It is great fun every day. In my private life, I also moved from Berne to Zurich, which fits in perfectly with the new start at Careum: it is a privilege to be able to rediscover a city.
4. How did you prepare for your new role at Careum and the change of sector?
At the FOPH, I was in charge of the Health Professions Department. I, therefore, got to know the education and training of the health professions very well from a legislative point of view. This background knowledge is very helpful, even though today it is of course much more about the concrete educational content. I gained entrepreneurial experience at a young age in my own company in the field of contract research. However, the standard is of course different today. Good preparation for a management role is of course very important. Nevertheless, it is also very important to listen and look, so that "prefabricated" concepts are not imposed on the team, but solutions can be worked out with the management team that fit perfectly.
5. What challenge in your career so far has taught you the most?
In terms of leadership and entrepreneurship, certainly from my first professional station in my own company, as I was very young at the time. Later on, we once told the following running gag: «How can you make a small fortune? You take a large fortune and start a contract research organization.». What we meant by that: We made many mistakes and sometimes paid expensive apprenticeship money. Later, however, this came in handy.
6. What will Careum's educational offerings look like in the future?
Education and training always reflect current social ideas about what good education is and how it should be offered. In addition, of course, there are the changing needs in healthcare. Since both elements are changing significantly at the moment, our educational offerings will also have to adapt. Keywords for this are more individual, more flexible offers; less long-lasting continuing education, shorter educational sequences; even stronger emphasis on interprofessional education and training; shift of skills towards strengthening problem-solving skills and communication.
7. If you had one wish for the Swiss healthcare system, what would it be?
Oh my! There are, of course, a lot of wishes in umpteen areas. The Federal Council's Health2030 agenda, which I was instrumental in drafting with my former department at the FOPH, gives an overview of the topics, ranging from improving the data situation to prevention and more health personnel. However, if I may quote a former Dutch health minister from the 2000s, I would say: «There is always enough money, but well-qualified personnel are not.» This is not to dismiss the question of costs, but ultimately the performance of a healthcare system is reflected in the day-to-day provision of care, and that's where well-trained staff are needed.

Having various debt obligations these days, is nothing new. This includes debts like a credit card, a bond or a personal loan that you need to pay off. Face it – debt can become and in most cases is already part of your life. In certain circumstances it is not a bad thing – if you manage it properly of course. But, if you look at the current situation in South Africa, it is evident that personal and economic events can lead to over-indebted situations – threatening your financially-free future. However, it doesn't help to mainly focus your attention on the problem; you have to get to the solution thereof, instead.
you can use the avalanche method – where you pay off your debt with the highest interest rate first, like your credit card.
If you are not sure how to improve your current financial situation – go and speak to a professional in the financial field to assist you in tackling your debt or managing your bills better. You have financial advisors, planners and bankers available. In worst case scenarios you can also ask debt experts, like DebtSafe for advice and use their processes to straighten out serious debt obligations.
What to do if you are severely over-indebted?
Various financial experts say that debt review, administration and sequestration are considered solutions targeted at solving the debt problems South Africans currently face. But, Potgieter says: "If you are finding yourself in an extremely over-indebted position, consider debt counselling (debt review), because it is the preferable solution (of the three) – getting you safely out of debt." With a personalised and effective debt repayment plan, trained advisors can take you from financial failure to financial success. This process is done via the implementation of the debt review program – where you get assistance from the application process (start) up to the issuing of a Clearance Certificate (finish).
Life takes unexpected turns whether you want it to or not. Therefore, make sure that your debt is 'insured'. Get credit linked insurance that covers certain debt repayments for up to twelve months (depending on your situation). This will enable you to take care of yourself and your loved ones when unpredicted (or in some cases predicted) things happen like critical illness, temporary or permanent disability, retrenchment, maternity leave as well as death. Take a look at DebtSafe's effective Income Rescue Plan to assist you with making the best possible 'debt insurance' choice.
DebtSafe will pay your debt instalments for up to 12 months while you are looking for a new job.
Your debt gets settled in the event of your death, keeping things hassle-free for your loved ones you leave behind.
DebtSafe will pay your debt instalments for up to three months when you are on maternity leave.
DebtSafe will settle your debt so you can focus on your health and own wellbeing.
DebtSafe will also pay out a lump sum to ease the burden while you get your things sorted out.
Try and rescue yourself out of debt this year and get yourself covered and protected. It will not only guarantee you a financially-free future, but it will also give you peace of mind.

Day 1, ARRIVE IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY.
Arrive in Budapest and transfer to your hotel. The remainder of the day is free to relax or to begin exploring this beautiful city.
Day 3, BUDAPEST – EMBARKATION.
After checking out of your hotel in Budapest, you will have a free morning to explore more of Budapest on your own. Tonight, meet your fellow travelers at the Welcome Dinner as the ship cruises to Bratislava.
Day 4, BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA – VIENNA, AUSTRIA.
A panoramic tour of Vienna guides you past the majestic Opera House, the former Imperial Palace of the Habsburg Emperors, Parliament, Town Hall and Vienna University.

You are free to explore on your own this afternoon, so be sure to sample some Viennese coffee and pastries.
Day 6, DÜRNSTEIN – MELK .
After reaching the Wachau Valley early this morning, you will have three tour options: A walking tour along Dürnstein's cobblestone streets followed by a wine tasting, a hike up to the fortress where Richard the Lionheart was once held for ransom, or an apricots and sweets tasting. Later, relax on board during a scenic cruise through the beautiful Wachau Valley or join a guided bike tour along the Danube to Melk . Your ship arrives late this afternoon in Melk , one of Europe's most renowned spiritual and cultural heritage sites, where you will tour its spectacular Benedictine Abbey. Afterwards, enjoy free time to explore the charming town of Melk on your own.
This afternoon, the ship arrives in Regensburg , one of Germany's best-preserved medieval cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You have your choice of one of three tours this afternoon. Your first option is a guided walking tour of the city's architectural highlights, including the Old Town Hall and the Porta Praetoria, the gates to an ancient Roman fort built in 179 A.D . Your second option is an opportunity to sample the city's most renowned specialties – sausage, beer and pretzels.

Many people suffer some form of depression or anxiety, which is one of the biggest health risks of today's society due to its influence on suicide rates. When we are alone, we do not have access to friends or family that can potentially lift us out of moody periods, which may put us at risk. According to this study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3741536/), when people are alone, it is possible for people who feel down to feel better based on listening to specific music categories, which simulates the emotional relief of someone else comforting them.
Vision and speech are powerfully fundamental and accurate means of assessing human emotions. These metrics evolved to guide our ability to recognize emotion in our friends and in our families in times of happiness and in times of distress so we may offer up the support they need. In fact, we as humans are often able to determine the emotional states of others based on either one of these factors alone. Thus for those who suffer from depression or unhealthy thoughts by themselves, it is, therefore, a life-saving step if we can algorithmically identify those who are feeling down and try to cheer them up in their everyday computing.
We realized that with the tools given to us by Microsoft Azure, namely facial recognition and speech sentiment recognition, we are able to fulfill both of these requirements and provide a virtual analysis into someone's emotional state whom may be suffering trauma, and combined with some intelligent mood matching algorithms, provide some stress relieving music to sooth the mind of the person, thereby improving one's emotional health state and potentially even saving a life.
We have deployed two means of capturing our user's activity in order to identify those who may be in emotional distress. MoodTunes extension scans web pages and gives these pages a sentiment rating based on the Microsoft Cognitive Services Text Analytics Sentiment Analysis API. Based on this rating, MoodTunes decides whether to engage in a dialog with the user about their mood. The user can let MoodTunes know that they are in fact not in a depressed mood or can confirm their feelings and MoodTunes will suggest some music to play that might brighten their day. If enough web pages with low sentiment ratings are visited, then an option for calling trendline (a mental health hotline), a friend, or a family member will appear.
MoodTunes mobile app is a proof of concept that we can use the selfie culture, something that almost everyone does, and turn it into a tool to fight depression. The MoodTues mobile app can take pictures from the gallery and the camera and determine the emotional state of the person in the picture using Microsoft cognitive services facial recognition. Based on the results, we pull information from Spotify to suggest the proper music for the mood to make people feel better.
We built the app using Java and android studio by leveraging the camera hardware on a typical mobile phone to send pictures to Microsoft Cognitive services' facial recognition algorithms that determine emotions.
We had trouble with deciding the formats our extension would work in. We started thinking of popups, considered banners, and then we finally settled on making our own modals.
We then were divided into who wanted to sleep and who didn't.
Trying to make requests to MSFT cog services that were too long and didn't know how to cut them down.
We also ran into challenges with the mobile app in coming up with a user interface that would be intuitive. We solved this issue by looking to mimic standard camera apps as closely as possible.
Providing a complete coverage of emotion recognition services on two different platforms. Writing our first web app for 3/4 of us!
Learning a lot and having fun!
about scope and how you have to make sure things are in the right scope: you can't create alerts in the popup html file because it's out of the popup's scope! breakthru!!
Really struggled with getting the name input to save.
We also learned how to make API requests from Android via access tokens to Microsoft's Cognitive services.
In the future, we want to make our Chrome extension and app more customized to the user (name, playlists, family/friends' numbers). We could also incorporate the Spoitfy API to MoodTunes so that after logging in to their Spotify, they can directly change from MoodTunes the playlists they want linked to certain emotions and even the individual tracks on each album/playlist. For the MoodTunes app, we want to work on implementing the app with the camera so that everytime someone takes a selfie or picture, the app will run and lift their mood!
It was my first time doing web-dev on the chrome extension, so I clean up some front end code and made the extension menu UI more user friendly (with CSS). I also made the mobile application. In the process, I had to learn how to make and send http requests from android to Microsoft Cognitive services and parse JSON response objects. I also learned more about requesting permissions on mobile to access camera modules and other hardware.
