It is in the form of replies given by Vasistha to Sri Rama's queries regarding philosophical problems of life and death, and human suffering, and treats the essentials of Advaita Vedanta. It seems to advocate the dristi- sristi-vada which holds that the world exists only so long as it is perceived: manodrsyam idam sarvam the whole world t f things is the object of the mind. For the first three Prakaranas there is a commentary called Vasistha Candrika by AtmanSuka, and for the last three Prakaranas, Mummidi Devaraya wrote the Samsaratarani commentary both published with the text, Nirnayasagar Press, Bombay, I It is a free translation trying to present the ideas contained in the text in a lucid manner using at times the explanations of the Sanskrit commentaries.
The Adyar Library is again bringing this work into print as there has been a demand for it. Some editorial changes have been made. A biographical sketch of the translator has also been included in this edition. Of course the analysis cannot be an exhaustive one, as it will have then to run through many pages and form a book of its own. There are, as at present known to us, two works by the name of Yoga Vasistha, the larger one going by the name of Brihat Yoga Vasistha and the smaller one, Laghu Yoga Vasistha.
The term Brihat means great, while Laghu signifies small. Vasistha is because of this work emanating from Rishi Vasistha as will be seen later on. Though the book is dubbed with the appellation, Yoga Vasistha, it treats of jnana only though practical Yoga is dealt with in two stories in this work.
Even there it says that the pure Raja- Yoga is meant and not Hatha-Yoga. Rather the word Yoga seems to have been used in the title of this work in its generic sense of including Jnana- Yoga and other Yogas as in the Bhagavad Gita. The commentary of the former has the same number of Granthas as the original whereas that of the latter amounts to 74, Granthas which with its original is a lakh on the whole.
In the abridged text, almost all the words of the bigger one are reproduced verbatim from the bigger one, the work of the author being generally to clip the bigger of its expansive descriptions and so on; so that in the work before us, we have got the quintessence extracted. This work seems to have been undertaken by one Abhinanda, a great pandit of Kashmir.
The authorship or rather writership is attributed to Rishi Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana who is said to have related the whole of Yoga Vasistha to Rishi Bharadwaja as having occurred between Sri Rama and Rishi Vasistha. But of this, later on. The larger work seems to have been partially translated by a gentleman hailing from Bengal.
But this one, though small, it is named, is yet big enough. In the phraseology of this work, it is intended neither for those Ajnanis or the worldly-minded , who welter in the sea of Samsara without being indifferent to the worldly things nor for those higher spiritual personages who have reached a state of adeptship, so as to be above all advice.
Hence it is written in the interests of those who have become indifferent to worldly things and crave for spirituality becoming a potent factor in their daily lives. Fancy a work like The Voice of Silence put into the hands of a worldly person of decidedly materialistic view and he will throw it away in sheer disgust. Similarly will this work appear to a person who has not caught a glimpse even of the higher life and principles. A person of true Vairagya, should he wish to have not only some hints thrown on the nature of cosmos, Manas mind and Universal Spirit from the idealistic standpoint but also some rules of guidance in his daily practical life towards occult knowledge with the proper illustrations will herein find, in my opinion, a mine of knowledge to be guided by and to cogitate upon.
As all know, the Vedas and the Upanishads are so mystic in their nature in many places that their real meaning is not grasped clearly and all persons except true occultists rare to find in this world interpret them in different ways, one holding that the Vedas inculcate nature worship, another putting upon them a diametrically opposed view and so on.
Even in the Ten Upanishads, all the metaphysical leaving aside for the present, as impossible, the occult theories have not been worked out in a systematic manner except in the way of some clues vouchsafed thereupon. Taking the Puranas in their dead letter light, our Pandits generally have found them replete with indecent and absurd stories and thrown them into a corner; and hence the nick name of Puranas has been applied, in ordinary usage amongst us, to anything that is a farrago of fictions and absurdities.
But for the timely resurrection of them by H. Even she has not thrown full light on them, as she probably was not privileged so to do.
As regard, Itihasas, namely, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, they are considered as so many stories only and as such are much in favour of our orthodox Pandits who do not care to go above worldly things. Vedanta soars high in the region of the Absolute with its theories and words; and our metaphysicians of the old school in India, carrying the notion of the physical world up there, try to solve the problem of the homogeneity or otherwise of the Infinite and are wrangling with one another as our Advaitins, Visishtadvaitins and Dvaitins are doing in their everyday lives, so much so that their arguments end in mental gymnastics only and with nothing practical in their lives.
Here a curious instance occurs to me. One day an Advaita Pandit lectured in a certain place about Brahman being Nirguna or without any attributes , and the only Reality and argued with great vehemence against his adversary.
Next day seeing him, while I was passing by, circumambulate an idol in a temple, I asked him as to whom he was paying respects. Thus are most of our Pandits, theorizing only with nothing practical about them and soaring into the region of the Absolute without a proper knowledge of the basic foundations of Vedanta. But Yoga Vasistha has chalked out for itself a new and distinct path. At first, it enunciates a doctrine in its several bearings and then elucidates it with beautiful stories.
There in it gives also rules of guidance for the conduct of life in the daily world, these also finding their illustrations in the stories given out. As in the Puranas, we have not to rack our brains over with the slight hints thrown therein and to sometimes give up in despair the problems before us. Secondly This book serves as a ladder wherewith to scale from the Seswara Sankhya doctrine of Patanjali as given out in his Yoga-Sutras to the Maya-conception of the Advaita Pantheists and thus renders possible a reconciliation between them both.
Through Sakshatkara Anubhava or direct realization, the Yogi finds he is one with the subject and does not find then the reality of the object. It is this that is illustrated in the story of Suka. Thirdly, some of the theories and facts, occult, metaphysical or otherwise, given out by H. I have got a deep-seated conviction in me which tells me that if Theosophical ideas are ever to gain a firm footing in India, it can only be by showing that it is H.
For this purpose, I think all the authorities, express or implied, which are found in a stray form in the Hindu works, should be ransacked, culled out and given to the world. Now I shall give out some illustrations. They are: I That Para brahman, the Absolute is not the cause of the creation of Brahma or the universe as creation implies some conditioned thought and space and as the Infinite is unconditioned and can therefore have no kind of causal relationship to that which is finite or conditioned, viz.
With the cessation of the one aspect, the other also ceases to exist. This statement is to be found in the story of Prahlada. This fact is exemplified in Sukras story as well as in the story of the I00 Rudras. I0 The emergence of all objects from the moon after a minor deluge.
Vairagya Prakarana Without multiplying more instances of this kind, I shall proceed to the contents of this work. The occasion which called it forth demands that the work was intended for those only who wish to practically travel on the higher path. Most of our readers will have been fully acquainted with the contents of our great Epic poem, the Ramayana. We find therein that Rishi Viswamitra turns upon the stage in the early years of Sri Rama. The Rishi appears before his father, Dasaratha and demands of him his son Rama to war with the Rakshasas interfering with his sacrifice.
On his return, he grows quite disgusted with his material life, spurns his wealth and other regal possessions and grows despondent without performing any of his daily duties. His attendants go and complain to the King his father of the grievous plight of their master. Thereupon the father sends for his son, seats him on his lap and enquires of him his state.
But the son evades the question by simply laughing over the affair and gets away. At this juncture, Muni Viswamitra turns up and the King delighted with the usual arrival of such a distinguished and reverend guest consents to execute any orders of the noble Muni. The Muni demands Rama for his aid at which Dasaratha is panic-struck.
Yet rallying himself, he volunteers his own services in lieu of his eldest and dearly beloved boy begotten through dire Tapas. Immediately the Muni begins to curse Dasaratha for his vacillation in the fulfilment of his promises, when Vasistha interposes and pacifies the sage by making the King fulfil his promise.
At which Vasistha remarks that the Vairagya indifference of the Prince is not akin to that produced by such momentary accidents as the loss of some dearly beloved relative or wealth but is one which is the premonitory symptom of a spiritual development in him after which development all his duties will be regularly per formed by him. On Rama s arrival at the regal assembly, he is asked by one of the Rishis as to the cause of his present sorrow. At which Rama makes a long tirade against wealth, life, Ahankara, Manas mind , desires, body and other material things and at last winds up by saying that he will rather expose himself to the torments of hell-fire than undergo the excruciating mental tortures, consuming him little by little through the abovementioned causes.
This concludes the chapter called Vairagya Prakarana or the section on in difference to worldly things. Passing by the first, namely, Vairagya Prakarana which has appended to it, the story of Suka, the son of the present Vyasa, we have five other Prakaranas, namely, Mumukshu longing after Salvation , Utpatti origin , Stithi preservation , Upasanthi quiescence and Nirvana absorption , the last.
In these five chapters, Vasistha inculcates advice upon Rama, gives him the reason why and how he should work in the world by tracing the origin of the universe and the I in man to which are identical from the idealistic stand point with the Original Cause or the Causeless Cause of all and devising means for their destruction and finally initiates him into the mysteries of Atman.
First comes the story of Suka in the first Prakarana. Suka was not satisfied with all the explanations his father, Vyasa gave of Maya and hence resorted to Janaka for aid who by Aparoksha or direct realisation within himself, showed the end. Of the four fold qualifications necessary to a disciple on the path, vis. For this purpose, Vasistha expatiates in Mumukshu Prakarana upon the preliminary qualifications necessary for the attainment of Moksha or salvation.
Here the author says that the four sentinels posted at the gate of Moksha are Santi quiescence of mind or sweet patience , Vichara the enquiry after Atman , Santosha contentment of mind and Sadhu-Sanga association with the wise and will have to be befriended by one wishing to attain Moksha. Should one of them at least be befriended, he will introduce the aspirant to his companion sentinels. Then the author goes on to explain that Moksha does not mean the physical separation from all worldly affairs but only a state of the mind bereft of all impure Vasanas or clinging towards, but yet working as usual amidst, worldly things.
The difference between Vasanas, pure and impure is well defined in this chapter. For this purpose, he gives out its relationship with the one Reality and the universe. This is precisely the position in which Arjuna was placed when he was instructed by Sri Krishna as in the Bhagavad Gita and when also he was told the relationship existing between the Universal Spirit, the ego and the cosmos; the difference being that the detailed instructions in this work are not given in a veritable battle field but in that of the mind and are illustrated by a series of stories wherein the different stages of the mind are worked out to suit a disciple on the path.
In the technical phraseology of this work, the ideation reflected in the Lila-Sankalpa of Brahman is the origin of the world; its manifestation, the preservation of the world; and its disappearance, the destruction of the world. These are the three aspects that are dilated upon in the second, third and fourth Prakaranas. In other words, the old Hindu philosophers held that the universe is nothing but states or modes of consciousness reflected through the Sankalpa or will of Para Brahman which is said through its Law to evolve the universe out itself for its Lila or sport.
The word Sankalpa is rather a difficult word to translate. Originally it is the Divine Will in manifestation and in man in his present stage becomes the will-thought pertaining to his Antahkarana or the lower mind. It is through the Sankalpa of our Manas that the universe appears to be and it is this Sankalpa that is asked to be given up by one who wishes to soar to the one Reality beyond this universe. Utpatti Prakarana In beginning with Utpatti Prakarana, the author gives out a story to illustrate Para Brahm manifesting itself as Brahma, the creator with the conception of I through its own Sankalpa.
Instead of giving out, as in the Puranas, that the creator, Brahma arose out of the navel of Narayana with four hands, etc. Thereupon Yama is said to have remarked to Kala that the Brahmin was no other than Brahma himself; though performing Karmas, Brahma had nothing clinging to him, as he did not perform them for any selfish purposes of his own. From this, it will be clear that, ere creation began, there was one vast space or Akasa with no activity in it or in the noumenal state of Para Brahm.
When evolution began, three kinds or states of Akasa are said to have evolved, vis. The last is the elemental Akasa compounded of the quintuplicated five elements, Akasa, Vayu, etc. Jnanakasa corresponds to the third body or plane. The first ego of Brahma which is differentiated into many is then, in the story of Lila, traced in its workings in the three Akasa above-mentioned.
The three pairs introduced therein are i Lila and Padma, 2 Arundhati and Vasistha, 3 Viduratha and his spouse. In the story of Karkati we come to the lowest stage, whether of the man or world.
In the Upanishads and other books, the Purusha in this stage is likened to a thread or the tail-end of paddy.

If You Trust Growth Stocks, Luminar Is Worth a Nibble
Over the past 12 months, investor optimism toward electric and autonomous vehicles has expanded from manufacturers to suppliers. Among those suppliers, Luminar Technologies (NASDAQ:LAZR) stock has perhaps the most intriguing story. Source: Olivier Le Moal / Shutterstock.com To be sure, LAZR stock isn't cheap. At a current price of $31, Luminar has a market capitalization over $10 billion. It's certainly fair to ask if the stock should trade above $30 given that Luminar was willing to execute a merger at a price of $10 per share less than a year ago. That said, this has not been a market where valuation concerns have been paramount. That's been doubly true for auto-tech names. Many companies that, like Luminar, went public via SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) have seen their share prices move just as far, if not farther, from the merger price.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips From here, those valuation concerns shouldn't be ignored. But investors who still see upside in the sector should have LAZR stock on their watchlist. The Case for LAZR Stock Autonomous vehicles are on the way. They may not arrive as fast as some believe, but they will arrive at some point. 9 Stocks That Investors Think Are the Next Amazon When that day comes, Luminar seems well-positioned to capitalize. The company is an early leader in lidar (light detection and ranging) technology. Most importantly, as management has detailed in the past, Luminar has a big edge: it's built its system from the ground up. That's a big competitive differentiator in the space. A lot of newer, supposedly high-tech companies, whether in autonomous or electric vehicles, have proven themselves to be not much more than assemblers. Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) has proven to be an example. That intellectual property gives Luminar an important head start — and prevents rivals from catching up. With 50 commercial partners already, including a number of OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), Luminar might well have the best chance of being the industry leader over the long haul. It's not just autonomous vehicles, either. ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) represent a reasonably large market in the meantime. Right now, Luminar estimates its total addressable market at about $4 billion. According to the merger presentation, by 2030, thanks to 'robotaxis,', commercial vehicles, and ADAS, the company believes its total addressable market will reach $150 billion. Solid share of that market will make the current $10 billion market capitalization likely look cheap in retrospect. What Goes Wrong As always, there are risks. One key question is whether lidar indeed is the right technology. Certainly, OEM partners seem to think so. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) unit Waymo has focused on the technology as well, even selling its own lidar sensors. But not everyone in the autonomous space agrees. The most notable dissenter is Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk famously said at his company's 2019 Autonomy Day that "lidar is doomed." For now, Musk essentially is on an island. But TSLA bulls, or simply those investors who believe in Musk's genius, might want to look beyond LAZR stock. At the least, Luminar is highly unlikely to have Tesla as a customer any time soon, if ever. If lidar indeed is the future, there's the competitive environment to consider. Again, Luminar does seem like the early leader, but there is no shortage of rivals. Waymo and General Motors (NYSE:GM) unit Cruise will have their say. Velodyne Lidar (NASDAQ:VLDR) just raised capital through its own SPAC merger. In the start-up world, there are "too many lidar companies," as Wired put it a year ago. The rewards in LAZR stock could be enormous if lidar indeed is the right technology and if Luminar indeed becomes the industry leader. Neither is guaranteed. The Valuation Question Finally, there's the question of how much of the potential reward has been eaten up by the stock's 200%-plus rally since November. LAZR stock isn't cheap. Indeed, using projections from the merger presentation, LAZR trades at nearly 30x estimated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for 2025. Those projections hardly look conservative, with Luminar expecting revenue to rise 575% just between 2023 and 2025. If Luminar meets its projections, no doubt LAZR stock rises. But that's true of just about every stock in the market. Some skepticism is warranted. As a result, it wouldn't be surprising to see a further pullback in LAZR, which already has retreated from December highs above $45. That said, the valuation can work if the story plays out. It's a bit too simplistic to argue that small market share can lead to big returns — because it's not easy to get even small market share. But, back of the envelope, 10% market share at 2030 suggests revenue of $15 billion. Forty percent margins (equivalent to those projected in 2025) would get EBITDA to $6 billion. Again, that's easier said than done. Competition may lead to sharply lower prices and sharply lower margins. Luminar may never gain much share at all. But in that back-of-the-envelope model, Luminar probably has a market capitalization exceeding $100 billion — which puts LAZR stock above $300. Few stocks have that kind of potential.

4 Years ago Today, the Rock music world lost Chris Cornell…
May 18, 2021 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
Chris Cornell has always been my favorite and I've always tried to follow his music career over the years back when he was alive. Whether he was in Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and his solo career… I tried to support it all. I loved everything he did.
While Chris definitely was one of the greatest rock singers of all time… he was one of the very few rock singers who could sing in such a high range but there are a few other things that are overlooked with this man.
Nobody wants to talk about what a great guitarist and lyricist he really was. I mean, from what I've heard and read through interviews and stuff, Chris was a real musician. He was such a great guitar player that he was able write songs that he hears in his head and get it all out of him on the instrument.
I try to buy every Soundgarden album which I have most. I have every Audioslave album I think. I also have all 4 Cornell solo albums that he recorded when he was alive. I don't have his "No One Sings Like You Anymore", the album that was released after he passed on yet but I'm planning on getting it soon. I used to have the Temple of the Dog album but I'm gonna get it again, I think but like to try and get it on vinyl.
I'm a huge fan of Chris. Man was a genius. Another thing that was overlooked was his personality… he seemed like a real good dude… he was always real humble and never full of himself.
I don't want to talk about this heated Soundgarden vs. Vicky feud that's going on right now but I want to talk about Chris and his musicianship. How he was important to the rock world. I mean, Chris was the one who helped the grunge movement explode in the 90's.
A lot of people like to become immediate fans after a musician has passed but not this time. I was always a fan of Chris Cornell long before he passed 'cause I was always trying to buy his albums no matter what project he was in. I've always loved his solo stuff for sure, though.
Before Chris passed, I believe Soundgarden were gonna work on their 7th album and they wanted to finish it for Chris but they don't have the master tapes of Chris's songs and don't know who has 'em. That was the last I've read. So I take it that Chris was the primary songwriter of Soundgarden? Yes, pretty much… although I'm sure Kim Thayil helped out with the songwriting a lot. I know Ben Shepherd the bass player wrote some songs for the band too. They all wrote, I think.
The rock world isn't the same without Chris. A real shame what happened to him.

Secretary of State Bev Clarno @oregonsos
Last month, @depsecvial passed by a small group of students in the halls of the @oregonstatecapitol. They were from Sunset Academy in Sherwood, and they were touring the capitol building. Deputy Vial, who represented Sherwood in the Legislature, asked them if they wanted to meet the Secretary of State (they did) and he took them into my office to see me. We talked about what they were learning in school and about the importance of civic engagement. Starting again in January, you can take a guided tour of the capitol building on any weekday at 10:30am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, and 2:30pm. Along the way, you'll learn about the history of Oregon, the capitol building itself, and the legislative process. Walk-in visitors are welcome. Between June 15 and September 30, you can also combine your capitol tour with a tower tour, where you can climb the 121 steps to get a closer look at the Oregon Pioneer (also known ask the "gold man") on top of the capitol building. Call 503-986-1388 for a current schedule of tower tours.
Over the past few months, I've made a habit in my newsletters of acknowledging some of the people in the Secretary of State's office who are known for going the extra mile. This month, I'd like to shine a spotlight on Aubrey Gesner, who works for our Business Services Division. Since coming to the Secretary of State's office from the Department of Administrative Services, Aubrey has become an invaluable and key team member. Although her primary role is to serve as our Budget Analyst, she has since become the Division's Application Administrator, Continuity of Operations Coordinator, and most recently a supporter of the Division's Payroll and Benefits Coordinator. Aubrey is one of those people who always steps up when there's a need—with enthusiasm and a big smile on her face. Working with people like Aubrey, who go above and beyond every single day, is one of the things that makes serving as your Secretary of State such an honor.
Last week, I attended and spoke at a breakfast sponsored by 100 Strong in Beaverton. 100 Strong is a women-in-business mentorship program that focuses on giving back through mentorship and group donations. This month, the group was supporting @makeawishoregon, which strives to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a critical illness. For my speech, I was interviewed by my granddaughter, Rachel Grittman, who asked me about my family life and my career in farming, real estate, law, and public service. Also in attendance was my daughter-in-law, Lorraine Clarno, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the @beavtonchamber. Special thanks to 100 Strong for having me, and to all those who attended for their activism and generosity.

I would like to recognize the initiative, competence, and impact of Audits Manager Jamie Ralls, whose team went above and beyond and found a way to use data analysis to help federal investigators identify potential fraud in Oregon's food stamp program. After conducting an audit of the program, Jamie and her team had access to vast troves of data. Upon analyzing that data and identifying common red flags for fraud, they were able to compile a list of merchants with multiple fraud indicators and share it with the FBI. These efforts have already led to the successful prosecution and conviction of numerous individuals and over $525,000 in restitution paid to the state. I want to thank Jamie for her leadership and her commitment to identifying government fraud, waste, and abuse. Her story is just another example of how hard your government is working for you.
Last week, I invited Corinna Tanguy to my office in the Capitol to personally thank her for all of her hard work. Corinna is part of the Contact Center team for our Corporation Division, where she spends her days working directly with business, notary, and Uniform Commercial Code customers. Most importantly, she does it all with a positive attitude. At a time when our Contact Center was low on staff, Corinna really brought her A-game—taking an average of 100 calls per day and replying to customer emails in between. In her spare time, Corinna participates in the Division's Quick Response Team as well as the Secretary of State's Inclusion and Diversity Council. She is an incredible example of a team player, par excellence!
I recently visited Hood River, where I met with the Hood River County Clerk, Brian Beebe. Like most county clerks, as head of the county's Elections Department, Brian leads a team of specially-trained staff that conducts local, state, and federal elections pursuant to the County Charter as well as state and federal law. However, Brian is unique among county clerks in Oregon because, in addition to serving as County Clerk, he also serves as County Assessor. He therefore also manages the county's Records and Assessment Department. His Chief Deputy, Kim Kean, has served the County for over 30 years. Brian and Kim expressed their appreciation for all that the Secretary of State's Archives Division does to help with the management of the County's records, and I appreciated the opportunity to discuss how state government can better serve the people of Hood River County.
Secretary of State Dennis Richardson brought transparency, accountability, and integrity to Oregon government. In his memory, the office put together a series of videos on the successful work by each division under his leadership.

TIME For Women

Women all across the nation have come together in support of women's rights.
The Women's March represents diversity, strength, and vision for what the future may hold. With many strong opinions shared across the country, women from all around the world were able to share their thoughts, as well as their experiences throughout their lifetimes. This is an event that happens every year that enables women and feminists around the world to speak out against unfair treatment and injustice. Together, generations of women advocate legislation and policies that are in need of reform.
As the annual Women's March approached this year, the largest sexual assault case in national sports history had emerged. Women came together with an even stronger purpose and persistence to seek change. Recently, as most people have seen, the USA gymnastics has been in a downward spiral because of their ex-team doctor, Larry Nassar.
Larry Nassar has been the official team doctor for the past 30 years for the USA gymnastics teams. In the past 30 years, there have been over a hundred reports of sexual assault, yet none of them were investigated. Recent gymnasts that all young girls (and boys) look up to like Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and Jordyn Wieber were all assaulted by this "doctor".
The lasting quote that will stay in all minds going into the parade is from a woman who was assaulted by Nassar at the age of 6, who was never a part of the USA Gymnastics team, but a family friend of the Nassar family. She stated, "Little girls don't stay little forever, they grow up to be a strong woman that grows up to destroy the world." Going into the Women's March, they all had the intent of getting revenge with this case, as well as, making their voices heard. The women finally, after 30 years, got their point across and got their court case, which put Larry Nassar in jail for 175 years.
Young women, like the ones who go to Hawthorne High School, look up to these strong women who make their impact felt each and every day. Growing up as young women going into the real world, we need to be strong and courageous enough to stand our ground.
"Together, we rise", today, tomorrow, now and forever.

The balls of my feet have been hurting lately as we started putting more miles in over a rocky terrain. Yesterday especially my feet were more tender than ever and so I woke up excited about walking to town today and taking a full zero day there, our first since Shasta.
Luckily the trail gave us a little bit of break too, for most of the 22 miles we walked today the path was soft dirt clear of rocks, and once in a while fallen pine needles made the cushioning ever better.
It's really a good time to hike through south part of Oregon right now. The wildflowers displays are crazy, today we were treated to incredible amount of Bear Grass that lent the air a light honey scent.
The temperature was more pleasant also. We still hid in shade for our breaks but even hiking in the open areas could be done without sweating profusely.
One of the main attractions of today was hiking by Mt. Ashland. The mountain overlooks many open meadows. It felt very relaxing to walk through them, even though it was Sunday and we had to share the miles with day hikers, runners, and horseback riders. We had some nice conversations with these people but after being on the trail with only a handful of other thru hikers, the hoards of people flooding the trail were just a little overwhelming.
To get to Ashland, we had to take a side trail to Callahan's Lodge and hitch from there. This trail was far from feet friendly and at the end I hobbled just as if I walked on rocks all day.
Our Ashland experience started with a quick hitch. The couple that stopped for us took us all the way to our hotel, and before they dropped us, they gave us a quick ride through the neighborhood to show us where the store and laundry mat was, and how to get to the city center. It was a very nice gesture, much appreciated.
After 22 miles hiked again today, we didn't have energy to do much more than checking in, ordering pizza, and watching TV for the rest of the night.
Love the first photo of you in the flowers.


English Housing Survey reveals important role landlords play in housing the nation!
The private rented sector supplies 19% of all homes in England – ahead of the social sector at 17%.
The figures are in the latest English Housing Survey, published yesterday by the Department for Communities and Local Government and covering the year 2013.
Back in 1996, just 10% of housing stock was privately rented, according to the report.
In comparison, the number of local authority dwellings fell from 3.5m in 1996 to 1.7m in 2013.
The report says that between 1996 and 2013, the total number of homes in England increased from 20.3m to 23.3m.
Much of this, it says, was due to the huge growth in private rented housing which more than doubled in size from 2m to 4.5m.
Over the same period, the number of socially rented homes – local authority dwellings as well as housing association properties – decreased from 4.4m in 1996 to 4m in 2013.
The report says the total number of homes went up by 3 million between 1996 and 2013. This equates to just over 175,000 per year. We've been told time and again that we need to build 200,000 new homes a year and that we have only been building a fraction of this. So given that 175,000 is not far off the 200,000 target, I think there might be some errors in this report.

Indian home healthcare platform Portea Medical raises $26M Series C
— 23 Nov, 2017
Portea Medical founder and CEO Meena Ganesh
Portea Medical, one of India's biggest platforms for home healthcare visits, has raised $26 million in Series C funding to expand its service range. The round was led by Sabre Partners and MEMG CDC, with participation from returning investors Accel (which led Portea's Series B two years ago), the World Bank Group's International Finance Corporation and Qualcomm Ventures.
Portea has now raised a total of about $72.5 million. In a press statement, Sabre Partners founder and managing partner Rajiv Maliwal said Portea Medical "has played a key role in establishing the concept of consumer-led healthcare and we look forward to working with them as they continue to transform healthcare services in India beyond the hospital space."
The demand for home healthcare is growing quickly in India, thanks to factors like an aging population and social changes that means fewer working-age adults are able to serve as full-time caretakers for elderly relatives. Some of Portea Medical's main competitors include Nightingales Home Health Services, Healthcare At Home and Care24.
One of Portea's specialities is an eldercare plan that is billed annually, since assisted living communities are a relatively new concept in India. Since its launch, it's expanded its core offerings into three other segments: primary care, chronic disease management and post-operative care.
Portea partners with healthcare providers, including 50 hospitals, to enable home visits for patients who might have trouble traveling for checkups, like the elderly or physically disabled, or just want to avoid overcrowded hospitals. Its other products include lab tests where samples are taken at home and picked up by one of Portea's couriers and B2B services for companies that want to provide employees with on-site vaccination programs or health screenings. Portea claims that it has served 250,000 customers in 16 cities so far.

The Swipe Slate Pro features a 5,000mAh battery and comes with Android Marshmallow out of the box. The device is exclusively available on Flipkart.
Domestic smartphone maker Swipe Technologies on Friday launched its Slate Pro tablet that comes with a 10.1-inch HD IPS display at Rs 8,499. Packed with a powerful 5000 mAh battery, Slate Pro is exclusively available on Flipkart, the company said in a statement.
Powered by 1.1 GHz Quad-core processor, the tablet comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB in-built memory storage which is further expandable up to 32GB. The Android based tablet operates on Marshmallow 6.0. It supports 4G VoLTE with dual SIM slots and allows callings as well. Further, the Swipe Slate Pro comes with 5MP Rear camera and 2MP front camera.


As a pet parent, finding employment in a company that has take-your-dog-to-work days is always a welcome development. This policy allows you to skip dog daycare and pet sitting services on days when you need to work late. Plus, being near your dog can help you lower your stress, especially during particularly demanding days in the office.
But this privilege also comes with its own set of complications. The dogs can get noisy and serve as a distraction, or there may be employees with allergies or phobias triggered by dogs. In addition, the dogs can potentially damage the building by chewing on various office items, and the company has to make arrangements and add facilities that will make the dogs more comfortable in an office setting.
Take a good look at your office's pet policy. Check when your dog can visit the office and the places where he can go. Is the office environment safe for dogs? Does the building have facilities just for pets? Also, take note of the places where your dog isn't allowed to go to or stay.
Make sure your dog is well socialized. Bringing an aggressive or easily agitated dog to a place where he'll meet a lot of other people and dogs spells trouble. This can mean spending an entire workday with a bark machine beside you, breaking up a dog fight, or dealing with injuries and property damage. Aside from socializing your dog, make sure he is easily identifiable by giving him a personalized dog collar with a tag that has your contact details on it.
Complete or update all his vaccinations. This helps ensure that your dog is in good health and that he is neither susceptible to infectious diseases nor is a carrier of one.
Pack the things that your dog needs while in the office. You want your dog to be comfortable even if he's away from home, and you also want him to have something to do while you're busy with work-related stuff. Bring a few of his favorite toys to keep him occupied, a leash when he needs to walk, and a bed and his favorite blanket that he can use to rest and relax.
Schedule toilet breaks and walks. Help your dog deal with excess energy by walking him before entering the office building and every few hours after that. Your dog can use this time to relieve himself, or you can introduce him to your officemates and their furred companions. In any case, be prepared to clean up messes by bringing your cleaning kit with you.
Prepare a space beside you for your dog. Keep your dog beside you at all times and find someone who can be responsible for him in case you need to leave for a short while. If your office has penned areas just for this situation, use them. Letting your dog wander unsupervised around the office can lead to him getting lost or hurt.
Make the most out of your company's pet-friendly policy by being a responsible pet owner. If you're taking every step to make your dog as ready for work as you are, then you're doing your part in keeping this policy in place, improving your office environment, and looking after your dog's well-being.

The language of fraud: Fighting fraudsters with voice biometrics
How Financial Metrics can Drive the Subscriber Experience
The power of AI and Voice in Next Gen Telematics
Check, Please! Adding up the Costs of a Financial Data Breach
How Technology is Transforming Mentoring
Brian Martin, Regional Director – U.K. & Ireland – Spitch
Fraud is one of the most common and fastest-growing crimes in the UK. In fact, research estimates that there are around 500 incidents of identity fraud every day. The banking and finance sectors are especially vulnerable to this threat. Whether it's a conversation about telephone banking or a retail query, almost every conversation is full of security gaps and weaknesses – and hackers are always ready to jump on an opportunity to defraud a consumer and defame a business.
A simple look at the major hacks of the last few years quickly highlights the financial sector's vulnerability. From a supermarket bank's 2016 breach which saw attackers withdraw money from 20,000 of its customer accounts, to a major high street bank's denial of service of attack in 2017 – it's clear that there's a lot more to be done when it comes to staying cyber secure in finance.
Historically, these weaknesses have not been difficult to find. Criminals often favour phone fraud because voice is one of the easiest channels to hack. Through sophisticated social engineering methods, they can manipulate operators to allow them access to customer information or make transactions from a third party's account.
And because protection for so many consumer-facing services is only a password, as soon as any fraudster figures out what a customer's might be (often gleaned from a few publicly available pieces of personal information), they have unfettered access.
As hackers develop more advanced means of committing phone fraud, organisations in every industry must step up their security measures to mitigate the risks. With voice biometrics, such as automated speech recognition, providing a compelling means by which to protect customers, must be a part of the future fraud fight.
How voice biometrics keeps the bad guys out
Innovative, future-ready technologies such as voice biometrics systems are already being used by numerous industries across many verticals, in order to eliminate the need for customers to remember passwords when talking to businesses over the phone. They work by taking a recording of live speech, then creating a digital voiceprint that contains all the identifying features of a voice and storing that on a secure system. From that point on, whenever the customer speaks to the business on the phone their voice is analysed against the digital voiceprint – either passively (as in, while the conversation is ongoing) or actively (as in, having to repeat a stock phrase before continuing). Thereby negating the need for a password.
This aspect is what makes voice biometrics such a secure verification method. The system will run a comparison between the customer's voice and the digital voiceprint based on numerous parameters making the solution near impossible to hack. And it's not the case that a fraudster could do a good impression of the customer and gain access – the analysis is deep enough to confirm that a caller really is who they say they are.
At the same time, voice biometrics can be used against the attackers themselves. If a fraudster is detected trying to gain access to customer accounts, call recordings can be used to create a voice profile of them on the system. An organisation can thus create a database of known fraudsters and use the biometrics system to analyse all callers against that database.
The result is that anyone who has ever been caught committing fraud, successfully or unsuccessfully, will forever be locked out of the system. No matter when they call up or whichever name they use, the system will detect their voice and automatically flag the call to the operator, who can then take appropriate action.
Voice biometrics in the future
As a method of detecting and deterring fraud, voice biometrics is an incredibly compelling solution for numerous industries. Retailers could use voice verification to ensure only customers can make transactions, even if card details are saved on the account. Healthcare organisations could use it so that only patients can access their records or receive test results. And, if used as part of automated self-service systems, voice biometrics can offer a service that's more convenient for the end user and inherently secure.
Voice biometrics is also something that will deliver greater benefits as the technology develops and more sophisticated capabilities will come into play. The ability to detect stress, tiredness, unhappiness or a range of emotions in someone's voice already exists. Going forward, these kinds of innovations will evolve to make the system increasingly helpful to vulnerable businesses.
It's also not long before voice biometric data becomes heavily utilised in legal proceedings. Digital voiceprints could become a reliable way of proving the identity of phone fraudsters, for example. Similarly, the metadata collected by voice biometrics systems (time, date, location, device) could be used anywhere from courtrooms to benefits claims departments, eventually deterring hackers from engaging in voice fraud in the first place.
It's important to remember that the right tool should be able to exist, cooperate with and enhance current processes. It should make life easier, and not add further layers of complexity to the security back-end. Nor become another node through which data can escape.
Above all, it's vital that banks recognise that modern threats need modern responses. The traditional idea of a bank as a safe house needs updating – biometrics must be a part of that work.

Double-G: Gunter Grass, and the Good Grace to Shut Up
By David Post on April 6, 2012 11:34 am
Here is what, to me, is the most extraordinary thing about the recent flap over publication of Gunter Grass' poem "What Must Be Said," in which he excoriates the Israelis and depicting their undeclared nuclear program (and not Iran's) as a threat to world peace. Grass is of course entitled to have, and to publish, whatever views he holds about Mideast politics and world peace. But really — wouldn't you think that someone who was exposed, in 2006, as having been wartime member of the Waffen SS (and having lied about the matter for some 50 years) — and we're not talking about attendance at some Hitler Youth picnic as a 9 year old, we're talking about membership in the most vicious arm of the most vicious regime in human history — would have the good grace to spare us his views on this particlar matter? What kind of egomaniac would think people do (and should) give a shit about what he thinks, when they shouldn't (and, I hope, don't).
And then — really, the unmitigated chutzpah! — he asks [as if we care]:
"Why do I wait until now/aged and with my last drop of ink/to say that a nuclear-armed Israel/ puts at risk an already fragile world peace?"
[Warum sage ich jetzt erst/gealtert und mit letzter Tinte:/Die Atommacht Israel gefährdet/den ohnehin brüchigen Weltfrieden?]
His answer: because "it must be said" (Weil gesagt werden muß), and because "tomorrow might be too late" (was schon morgen zu spät sein könnte), and because he won't be deterred any more by the "familiar charge of 'anti-semitism'" [das Verdikt "Antisemitismus" ist geläufig]
It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic and awful. Can you imagine Grass sitting around at home and thinking: "The world needs to hear what I have to say about Israel! I must speak! I can't be held back anymore just because people might think that I, a former member of the Waffen SS, might be anti-Semitic!!" ["And perhaps I'll wait until right before Easter — a holiday sadly connected to some of the most brutal anti-Semitic activities over the past 2000 years — to publish the poem! That'll be a nice touch!"]
It was the great songwriter-satirist Tom Lehrer, I believe, who said: Satire was no longer possible after Henry Kissinger had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I know now what he meant.

Projects like Alt-Erlaa are part of Vienna's long history of public housing development. Photo by Hertha Hurnaus, submitted by the Museum of Vancouver.
There are swimming pools on top of these high-rises. The development has saunas, schools, and a shopping mall too.
If you're a North American used to the stereotype of drab public housing projects, you might be surprised to learn Vienna's Alt-Erlaa isn't a sleek, master-planned condo development. Alt-Erlaa is social housing.
Alt-Erlaa was intended to provide luxury for all. The 1970s project is home to 7,000 residents who live in 3,200 high-rise apartment units — and most of them are family friendly, with three or more bedrooms. It sits on a 59-acre piece of land, less than twice the size of Granville Island.
Vienna is filled with innovative projects like this. Sixty per cent of the city's population lives in city built, owned, or managed housing.
Cities wrestling with housing affordability can learn from each other, which is why the Museum of Vancouver is exploring Vienna's approach to housing in its Vienna Model exhibit, which opens today.
William Menking, founder and editor-in-chief of the Architect's Newspaper in New York, is the exhibit's co-curator. He said Vienna's attitudes toward housing are "totally different" from North America.
"Homeownership? That's the American dream," Menking told The Tyee. "That does not exist in Vienna.
Alt-Erlaa's terraced apartment units have their own gardens. Photo by Hertha Hurnaus, submitted by the Museum of Vancouver.
The Austrian federal government offers 450 million euros a year — about $680 million Canadian — to subsidize housing in Vienna, with a population of about 2.6 million. The city government contributes as well, bringing Vienna's total housing spending up to 600 million euros a year.
Having committed funding does help cities with housing. But Menking says Vienna's attitudes toward housing as a public responsibility are what set it apart from cities struggling to rein in housing costs.
Heindl is an advocate of equality and equity in city building.
The Tyee interviewed Gabu Heindl about this. She's an architect, planner and theorist, as well as the chairwoman of Österreichische Gesellschaft für Architektur (Austrian Society for Architecture). The interview has been edited and condensed for brevity.
Heindl will be speaking at two events in Vancouver about her home city (more details at the bottom of this story) in conjunction with the Vienna Model exhibit.
The Tyee: It seems that in Vienna there is a public as well as a political consensus that the government should have a large role in providing housing for its citizens.
Gabu Heindl: Yes, Vienna has had a social democratic government for a long time, and there's a big tradition based on the time of Red Vienna, which was between the two world wars when Vienna had a socialist government. Vienna has been famous for municipal housing that was built then and after 1945 in quite extensive numbers. So, when it comes to Vienna, which is a big city relative to Austria itself, there's absolutely an understanding that it's a municipal task to provide affordable housing and to subsidize housing.
Is there also consensus around the idea of housing as a human right?
That is really a political issue. When it comes to more leftist politicians and parties, yes. When it comes to market, free-market neoliberal parties and politicians, of course they would argue there's a right to make money with housing development. Right now, our city government is a coalition of the Social Democrats and the Green Party.
Social mixing policies (having individuals of different economic backgrounds in a neighbourhood, sometimes even in the same building) have gained momentum recently, but this is something that Vienna has been doing for a very long time. Can you talk a bit about that?
There's the large-scale Red Vienna housing complexes that were built in the '20s and '30s which have been spread throughout the city. There's the very famous Karl Marx Hof, which is a very big compound that sits right in a bourgeois district.
All around Vienna, you have a mixing of different typologies of housing and different populations. So, you have bourgeois mixed with workers, and that of course, continues today.
Karl Marx Hof (from above) is one of Vienna's most famous tenement housing complexes, built between 1927 and 1930. Many were named after revolutionary figures (there's also a George Washington Hof). Photo by Stadt Wien, submitted by the Museum of Vancouver.
Vienna set up the Bauträgerwettbewerb "developer competitions" for public housing in 1995. What's the rationale behind having developers compete?
The question is if you have anybody developing housing, how can the public demand quality? So how can the public demand more than the minimum?
Basically, the moment public subsidies are involved — be it land, building costs, cheaper loans — the public has a right to demand quality and actually work on quality control. That works statutorily in Vienna for all public housing projects that there have to be competitions if projects are of a certain size.
Developers become very inventive in order to compete with others.
Some governments struggling to encourage the construction of affordable housing rely on public-private partnerships. Is Vienna dealing with this?
We are currently faced with a situation where we are supposed to get used to public-private partnerships in terms of the private entering the public sphere. Until now, it was very logical for us that the public would itself, and only itself, take care of streets, schools, parks, and housing.
But under current austerity politics in the European community and the general trend worldwide of city governments suffering from lack of money due to neoliberal taxing systems, there is an increase in Vienna of looking to private developers for help. It's something that planners, including myself who believe that public goods should be dealt with and provided by the public, are not happy with.
In Vancouver this week, you will be speaking about equality and equity in city building. Why is there a need for these elements in your field?
I believe that equality and equity must be parameters for urban planning, especially since architecture and urban planning can participate in fostering inequality, which I'm sure can be seen in Vancouver, other cities, and, of course, Vienna.
How can design provide for spaces of equal possibilities and accessibilities for people? That task is more important for public planning than supporting a private client, but if it comes to proactive public urban planning, then equity, housing affordability, and justice have to be planning parameters just as much as technical ones.
While there is so much to admire about housing in Vienna, where is the city struggling?
Because Vienna is growing so fast, it cannot keep up with the speed at which the need for apartments increases. There are many more people that need housing than is available, so that puts pressure on price in the private market. I wouldn't say prices have skyrocketed, but they have increased a lot.
As for municipal housing, politicians have reacted to the pressure by ranking Viennese, who have lived here for at least five years, at the top of the waiting list. So, there's a 'Viennese first' mentality, which I and many of my colleagues don't believe is very useful because affordable housing shouldn't be determined by nationality but by need.
Any advice for cities like Vancouver struggling with affordability?
The most important piece of advice today is to not sell any public land. Do not do that. Land has been and is the most precious thing and it will be so much more precious in the future. Land ownership dictates who has access to what areas and how the city should grow. It's something that I believe Vienna is being as careful with as it can.
But if land is to be sold, it should be sold to collective structures so that it doesn't go into the private, capital market. Please do write that in really big letters!
There will be a serious fight for the access to urbanity in the future. If we know that cities are the places where people have access to possibilities, to mobility, to culture, to jobs, to shops, governments should not hand out big portions of the city to private owners.
Gabu Heindl will be speaking at two events while in Vancouver. She'll be participating in the Urbanarium debate on why we should subsidize more housing tonight at the Museum of Vancouver (1100 Chestnut St.).
And on Friday evening, Heindl will be speaking on Vienna as an affordable housing case study at SFU's Djavad Mowafaghian World Art Centre (149 West Hastings).
The Museum of Vancouver's Vienna Model exhibit runs until July 16.

Q: Trouble with Django unnecessarily adding 5 hours to date time. I'm working a with an app that has a post (sticky note like) object. Here is the post model.
class Post(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(Account)
content = models.CharField(max_length=40)
start_time = models.DateTimeField()

created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

def __unicode__(self):
    return '{0}'.format(self.content)

When I create the post with a certain start time, suppose 3 pm, then I am accordingly getting Fri Feb 20 2015 15:00:00 GMT-0500 in the debugging console. But in the database, it is saved as 20:00:00. And when I display the post to the screen, it is displayed with the database time of 20:00:00.
In settings.py, I have changed:
TIME_ZONE = None

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = True

USE_TZ = False

But the problem persists and I have no idea how to solve it.

A: Django stores dates in the db as UTC, so the time 20:00 is correct.  If you want all your dates displayed as the GMT-0500 timezone you should set the TIME_ZONE setting and USE_TZ = True... otherwise currently Django doesn't know what time zone you want and it'd be up to you to normalise any dates yourself eg in view code.

A: It's because the datetime that is stored in the database is aware in that along date and time data, it also stores the time zone. When printing the aware datetime object, what you get is that very point in time, but in the UTC time zone (thus the 5hours delta).
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from django.utils.timezone import now

>>> datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2015, 2, 2, 15, 29, 10, 202480)

>>> now()
datetime.datetime(2015, 2, 2, 21, 29, 11, 459850, tzinfo=<UTC>)

As you can see, the datetime.now() returns datetime object that is in my local time (-6 hours). The aware object is represented in the UTC timezone, which is +6 hours to my local time zone.
If you would like to make it into your local timezone use django.utils.timezone.localtime:
>>> from django.utils.timezone import now, localtime
>>> localtime(now())
datetime.datetime(2015, 2, 2, 15, 31, 25, 666377, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'America/Chicago' CST-1 day, 18:00:00 STD>)

Homework Time Made Easy with Singing Machine Now available on AMAZON.
When this momma says it's time for homework, I am sure the people on the 20th floor can hear their cries for help. It is seriously a stressful time for all of us. My oldest is in 1st grade but he's learning things I remember learning in like 3rd grade. Crazy how much things change in just a couple years, but I also understand why. My youngest is just learning the basics of writing his letters and the right way to use a pencil, so he's got it the easiest right now. Still, managing two homework packets while trying to get dinner ready, laundry folded, and lunches for the next day packed is quite a handful.
My oldest does a lot of math work. For the most part his packet involves him to do two pages of math homework every night. They have something called No Hesitation Math where he has to answer 24 basic addition/subtraction problems in one minute! This has been difficult for him, but he needs to learn to do it as fast as possible to help him learn them by heart. Sometimes he over thinks a problem which loses him some time for the rest, or he wants me to check all the answers right away.
When our friends from The Singing Machine sent us over their Wise Ol' Owl Blackboard Calculator I knew this would be the perfect thing to help us out during homework time. It has really been a time saver for the both of us! As soon as he is done with his work he uses the calculator to easily check all of his work, and make the corrections he needs to make. Like this I don't need to stop everything I am doing to check it. Not only does it give him reassurance that he is doing it right, but responsibility for his own work! He also loves that it speaks the numbers as you push them. The numbers are nice and clear and easy to see, so they don't need any assistance when it comes to using it. It has a great feature as well if you want it in Spanish or French instead. He loves putting it in Spanish mode to hear all the numbers differently, and it's teaching him how to say the bigger numbers. Unfortunately this Latina Mom has only taught her kids to count to 15 in Spanish, don't judge me - I promise I'm getting to it. Lol.
The Singing Machine Wise Ol' Owl Blackboard Calculator has been a daily use for us, and now I can get dinner done with fewer pauses. Not any at all, because I still have children! Lol, but definitely not as many pauses as before. It's the perfect homework companion for all elementary school aged children. You can now get your very own on Amazon.

Hello, Charlotte and Louis! New Pictures of Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte - What Would Kate Do?
Much to the delight of royal watchers, new photographs of Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte have been released shortly after the birth of Prince Louis.
The photographs were featured on the front pages of many newspapers, despite an embargo until midnight on Sunday, 5 May.
The first photograph features Princess Charlotte, who recently turned three-years-old, gently kissing Prince Louis. The photograph was taken on Charlotte's birthday, May 2. Princess Charlotte is wearing a Fina Ejerique cardigan, first worn by Prince George.
Many noted that the photograph was sweetly similar to photographs of Prince George kissing a newborn Princess Charlotte.
The second photograph showcased sweet Prince Louis, and was taken on April 26 – three days after he was born. As with previous photographs of the Cambridge children, Catherine took the photos herself at their home, Kensington Palace.

Relief Clipping Planes for Real-Time Rendering
Trapp, Matthias; Döllner, Jürgen in ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 - Sketch Program Singapore , 2008 .
The concept of clipping planes is well known in computer graphics and can be used to create cut-away views. But clipping against just analytical defined planes is not always suitable for communicating every aspect of such visualization. For example, in hand-drawn technical illustrations, artists tend to communicate the difference between a cut and a model feature by using non-regular, sketchy cut lines instead of straight ones. To enable this functionality in computer graphics, we present a technique for rendering relief clip planes in real-time. Therefore, we extend the clip plane equation with an additional offset map, which can be represented by a texture map that contains height values. Clipping is then performed by varying the clip plane equation with respect to such an offset map. Further, we propose a capping technique that enables the rendering of caps onto the clipped area to convey the impression of solid material. It avoids a re-meshing of a solid polygonal mesh after clipping is performed. Our approach is pixel precise, applicable in real-time, and takes fully advantage of graphics accelerators.
