be used in variety of industrial applications as well as in building automation.
possible. The TiM5xx is an efficient solution for stationary use as well as for use on automated guided vehicles (AGV) and other mobile applications.
Outdoors is our fourth dimension.
With the MRS1000 multi-layer scanner, Sick has developed a 3D laser scanner which accurately and reliably detects and measures objects in good time and in multiple dimensions. By collecting large volumes of data on multiple scan layers and from different angles, it can detect and respond to objects on the floor as well as objects that are obstructing the path. The MRS1000 is characterized by a high degree of ruggedness even when subject to adverse environmental influences such as rain, dust, and fog. The new HDDM+ process, with multi-echo evaluation, ensures the reliable detection of objects and accurate measurement results. Versatile fields of application, both indoor and outdoor, make this an efficient all-rounder among 3D LiDAR sensors.
Whether your application involves picking up the presence of an object in a specific area (detection) or determining its exact position (ranging), the LiDAR sensors in the TiM series are a highly efficient solution for both tasks.
Laser scanner TiM1xx from Sick is a small, simple, cost-effective laser scanner for a wide variety of area-monitoring applications. It is the starter model of the 2D LiDAR sensors from SICK and opens up new application possibilities with its compact design.
The measuring laser scanners have a special position in the Sick product portfolio. Based on the Time of Flight (TOF) technology, these scanners are able to measure distances and profiles of the target objects.
Using the TOF scanners, Sick provides solutions throughout the world. Even the most demanding applications are being served: anti-collision for large harbor cranes, automatic plane parking, vehicle classification in free-flow traffic, guidance and protection of autonomous vehicles, anti-intrusion in building security, people counting in crowded public areas.
No matter if you handle small, large, heavy or lightweight packages, SICK has a solution. The combination of weight and volume defines the freight costs of packages.
Dimensioning weighing scanning (DWS) systems from Sick automatically measure weight and volume of packages and identify them by reading 1D or 2D codes. They can be integrated in existing conveyor systems and work reliably at conveyor speeds up to 2.9 m/s. SICK's DWS systems are complete Legal-for-Trade solutions with integrated Alibi storage, meeting the requirements of the OIML R129 and R51-1 regulations as well as the Measuring Instruments Directive 2004/22/EG (MID).
Measuring and weighing pallets and other bulky freight items.
The DWS Pallet track and trace system is a reliable solution when shipping bulky freight items such as pallets. The system helps logistics service providers such as freight forwarders, air freight service providers, and airlines detect freight for which the declaration is too low.
transferred via standardized interfaces. Available upon request: special versions for larger freight items or for dynamic measurement.
Measuring size and weight for all shapes.
For the complete data capture of volume, weight and bar code information of freight for the courier, express, postal and cargo industry as well as for retail and warehousing, Sick developed the new DWS Static dimensioning weighing scanning system. The DWS510 Static uses one headed VMS510 volume measurement system and DWS520 Static is it's big brother, using the doubleheaded VMS520 volume measurement system. Therefore it can dimension also non-cuboidal objects legal for trade, which is unique on the market for static DWS systems.
freight charges or it can be used in ERP systems to create freight documents automatically.
The system consists of the well-known VMS520 volume measurement system, a robust static scale and a hand-held bar code scanner, which are all integrated into a rugged steel frame.
The demands made on modern goods transportation and the optimum navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are rising. Commonly used conventional positioning systems, such as guide wire systems or magnetic track guidance, mainly operate within an unchanging layout of routes. The requirement for flexible systems is, however, clearly on the rise.
Modern positioning systems such as the NAV 200, or NAV 3x0 from Sick offer considerable advantages here. The system provides maximum flexibility as a result of its unrestricted determination of position, via reflectors outside the work area. Even vehicles taken off track temporarily can find their own way back to their fixed route independently.
Data has to be recorded quickly and flexibly in almost all industries. Today, no other product does this work better than barcode scanners.
Portable barcode readers from Sick perform first-class work because without automatic scanners everything would have to be read off and registered manually. This takes too long and is susceptible to errors. When hand-held scanners are used as an interface for fully developed auto-identification solutions, data is recorded in seconds and reading errors are as good as impossible. It makes life easier for employees, processes are accelerated and sources of error are eliminated – in all departments of your industry.
The IDM160 offers high performance barcode reading with its rugged, industrial, and ergonomic housing.
The IP65 enclosure rating ensures protection against dust and water jets. It can withstand 50 drops from 2 m on concrete. Its ergonomic design and low weight as well as quick integration in common industrial networks guarantee maximum user comfort.

The Traffic Information Collector (TIC) from Sick is an integrated traffic measurement system that is based on Sick laser measurement technology, a technology that is used in thousands of traffic applications worldwide. The TIC1xx is especially designed for multilane, free-flow applications such as tolling enforcement and traffic management. Through a highly innovative configuration wizard that includes a live 3D view of the traffic, installation of a multilane gantry is quick and easy. The system autocalibrates in moving traffic and can be accessed remotely for maintenance. A software trigger increases the detection rate and reading accuracy of third-party systems such as ANPR cameras and DSRC antennas, as well as in stop-and-go situations. Additional information such as vehicle speed and dimension are given out over the TCP interface.
Reliable counting and classification with one sensor over several lanes.
The TIC501 Pro (Traffic Information Collector) profiling system is designed for traffic management and statistical applications in multi-lane, free-flowing traffic. The mounting position of the system components can be adapted easily to the local conditions, which allows the TI C501 Pro to be installed above the lane, between two lanes or next to the road on street lamps and poles.
One TIC501 Pro can detect several lanes at the same time, reducing the installation and commissioning costs. The intuitive user interface guides the operator through the commissioning process in just a few steps. The measurement results are then displayed directly as a 3D point cloud, including the classification result.
Whatever the shape or size, accurate volume measurement is the basis for correct decision making. As a technological leader in barcode identification systems, Sick offers you a system that sets new standards of performance, measurement accuracy and reliability.
Exact package data recording – from quickly and accurately determining shipping charges to optimizing storage and transport processes – is becoming increasingly important. As a result, the VMS (volume measurement system) from Sick is ideal for data recording applications that require volume measurements. Regardless of whether cuboid or irregularly shaped objects are to be measured, nor whether the measurement is on flat conveyor belts, sorting systems or at a standstill, Sick offers a reliable and certified measuring system for all applications.

Making 'The Old Guard': Gina Prince-Bythewood Turned Her Marvel Loss Into Her Own Netflix Franchise
The director tells IndieWire how the lessons learned on one superhero project helped set her up for her biggest success yet.
@akstanwyck
On July 10, opening day for the summer's first major action flick, "The Old Guard" director Gina Prince-Bythewood took her two sons, who are 16 and 19, up to Sunset Boulevard to see her first Netflix billboard. "The Old Guard" marks the UCLA track star's biggest budget yet after such modest hits as "Love & Basketball" (2000), "The Secret Life of Bees" (2008), and "Beyond the Lights" (2014).
The director made that backstage musical romance for just $7 million, after she insisted on casting emerging Gugu Mbatha-Raw over a star like Beyoncé, as a biracial singer who tries to break free from her overbearing stage mom (Minnie Driver). That meant that Relativity Media, not Sony, released the independent film — with a smaller marketing spend. But Prince-Bythewood made the movie her way. She always does.
When the director met with Skydance on "The Old Guard," she knew that she had to nail her pitch for how to turn Greg Rucka's script for his 2017 graphic novel into a riveting movie. And she must convince the executives in the room that she could pull off her first action film.
'The Recruit' Starring Noah Centineo Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix

The Best Zombie Movies Ever Made
She wasn't sure that Skydance, which backs the "Terminator" and "Mission: Impossible" franchises, among other tentpoles, would entrust her with a $70-million budget ten times bigger than "Beyond the Lights." Skydance was actively seeking a woman director for the project about a team of ancient immortals, two women and three men, fighting to make the world a better place, who are not sure they're making progress.
Prince-Bythewood landed the pitch meeting because she had spent a year and a half rewriting and prepping another comic-book movie, Sony's Marvel "Spider-Man" spin-off "Silver & Black," featuring female action heroes Silver Sable and Black Cat. "I wanted to go edgier than some of the Marvel films," she said in a recent interview with IndieWire. "It was a question of how far could I push it in that Marvel universe."
Not far, it turned out. Even though she parted ways again with Sony, she learned a lot about how to assemble an action movie. "'Silver & Black' put me in the conversation," she said. "I was one of those couple of women people go to for these big films. I knew what kind of movies Skydance make. It was exhilarating and nerve-racking. I knew I loved this project, partly because I could do everything I wanted to do from the other film: an edgy superhero film with two women."

She had developed looks for the "Silver & Black" sets and costumes, scouted locations, did action storyboarding, and worked with the VFX team. "Everything happens for a reason," she said. "I learned so much in that year and half. All the stuff I was learning about doing a film of that scale I could transfer over to 'The Old Guard.' So it didn't feel like a gigantic leap."
Going into the pitch meeting, Prince-Bythewood knew she had to ace it. "I needed to get hyped," she said. "A film like this I had not done before. They were going to ask about the action. I had to make sure I could convince them to trust me with a budget and movie and their IP."
As she entered the office she walked past a life-size Terminator and a poster of Tom Cruise hanging off a helicopter. "Oh wow, okay," she remembered thinking. But when Prince-Bythewood got in the room with Skydance feature film president Don Granger, chief creative officer Dana Goldberg, and production executive Matt Grimm, they made her feel "warm and safe," she said. "I was passionate, which helps me in a meeting. I was able to articulate what was so dope to me about it."
The key to this fantasy thriller, Prince-Bythewood believed, was to shoot it so it felt grounded and real. "I wanted you to feel the characters could sit next to you at Starbucks," she said, "I didn't want it to feel like a CG film." She looked to A.G. Inarritu's period actioner "The Revenant" as a template for seamless action-driven VFX. "In that shot of Leonardo [DiCaprio] going off the ridge with his horse and landing in the tree, you can't see the effect."
"We believed from the get-go that a woman behind the camera could tell this story more authentically," wrote Goldberg in an email, "but it wasn't until we saw Gina's undeniable passion for this project and its characters that we knew we had met the only director for 'The Old Guard.' Gina's film history has shown time and again that her characters always had depth, heart, and intelligence. She is herself a warrior in many ways — and the only person we wanted to bring this film to life."
After she passed muster at the first go-round ("damn, I got them!" she said to herself), she next had to meet Skydance CEO David Ellison (scion of Larry, brother of Meg). "I wanted to have that one extra thing that no one else is going to have," she said, "that gives me my swagger going in. For me, I knew what I wanted to do with the music."
The director called a music producer friend to help her create some sides that would capture what she wanted to do with the soundtrack, a mix of old-world instruments like the lyre and hip hop from Big Sean and Kanye West. She played the music for Ellison as she explained what she wanted to do with his movie. "That was it," she said. "I could see them looking at each other. That was the extra thing to set you apart that no one else is going to bring."
After drumming up the confidence to sell herself, Prince-Bythewood had to deliver. "Once I got the gig there was that 'oh, shit,' take a deep breath and start to dig in," she said. First, she beefed up the role of the young Marine recruit Nile. "She did not have any backstory or agency in the climax," said Prince-Bythewood. "It was about building her character, adding moments that spoke to somebody in this situation, like the toll of taking a life. I didn't want killing to feel random or gratuitous or monotonous, it's something real."
It was a no-brainer to cast bad-ass "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Atomic Blonde" star Charlize Theron as the oldest immortal, world-weary leader Andromache (Andy). Finding Nile was a tougher puzzle. It was solved by a Barry Jenkins screening of "If Beale Street Could Talk," starring rising talent KiKi Layne. Something was missing from the young actresses Prince-Bythewood had seen, but Layne was different.
She was confident of Layne's acting chops, but worried she couldn't carry her own stunts (she had never done action before). When she auditioned, "I thought I was watching Nile," said Prince-Bythewood. "I believed her as a Marine, and yet she had an innate vulnerability that makes you care about her and watch her."
Any first day of shooting is daunting, but Prince-Bythewood had lost her voice. "I remember walking onto this giant soundstage with a life-size plane we had built up in the air on hydraulics," said Prince-Bythewood. "I thought, 'This is my world now.' I didn't get to say 'action' on that first day."
The director started off with the movie's big action centerpiece: hand-to-hand combat on a plane between Andy and the Marine who just popped up from her death bed with her slit throat magically healed. "That was a risk, because it's important for any director," said Prince-Bythewood, "and more so for a female director, to set the tone in those first couple days for the rest of the shoot. You have to make your days. The crew needs to know what you're doing."
But Theron and Layne had been learning the fight choreography for months, and might not be able to keep up their training while shooting. "They could have gone backwards," Prince-Bythewood said. "So we were jumping in on something big."
Each of Prince-Bythewood's action scenes tells a coherent story. You know what's going on. "It has a beginning, a middle, and an end," she said. "It's character-driven. Emotion has to be tied to the story and characters, or else there's no stakes, you feel like people are just beating each other up. I wanted the audience to feel invested."
In the airplane fight scene, "my goal was to tell the story of this young woman Nile completely freaked out by what is happening to her," said Prince-Bythewood. "She's angry at the woman who kidnapped her and previously shot her in the head. She wants to be free of this situation. On the flip side, Andy is testing this young immortal: 'let's see what she's got.' That's the initial dynamic. Nile is fighting with the martial arts she learned in the Marine Corps. She's not able to touch Andy, who knows every fighting style known to man, and you see Nile's frustration build and in frustration she throws out a street fight move and clocks Andy. … It says so much about her character that within that scene she doesn't give up and keeps coming. The audience is able to marvel at their athleticism and skill and never think of it as a sexy cat fight."
For Prince-Bythewood, there's a huge difference between the way she and fellow action filmmaker Patty Jenkins shoot their female superheroes and the way that Gal Gadot was photographed as Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon's "Justice League." "It's so glaring. The way Patty shot Wonder Woman was heroic and real," Prince-Bythewood said. "In 'Justice League,' she is often shot from behind, at a low angle, like butt shots. It's so startling and stark, the sexualization."
What surprised the director most was Theron's willingness to take a beating for as many takes as necessary. "When we started shooting the plane fight, it really was 15-16-17 takes of being slammed against the wall, throwing punches, being thrown into bricks. She just wanted to keep going until we got it perfect. It was never, 'I'm too tired.' My mentality is: if I don't get it on set, it's not going to magically appear in the editing room."
Another way that Prince-Bythewood grounded "The Old Guard" was to shoot handheld, even though she was determined to use heavy 65mm cameras, as Jenkins had done on "If Beale Street Could Talk." "I wanted grounded realism," she said. "That meant going handheld. Handheld gives it a more personal intimate feel, not only in the quiet character moments but in the action. You make the audience feel they're right in there, and you have more freedom to move in the action scenes as well. We shot most of the action handheld, at eye level, to have things coming at you. I wanted it to feel real and in your face."
Nobody understood when they were making "The Old Guard" that its dark view of a world in dire straits would two years later become more resonant during Covid. "Now it is absolutely a scary time," said Prince-Bythewood. "It doesn't feel like anyone is in control. We realize how connected we are globally, how destructive it is to separate ourselves by putting up walls and do it on our own instead of figuring it out as a collective. I wish 'The Old Guard' was really here."
After the movie scored big on Netflix during its first weekend, "The Old Guard" is perfectly primed for a sequel. After all, there's two more installments in Rucka's graphic trilogy. The director was waiting for the movie opening to start franchise talks. "I know where the story is going and it's pretty dope," Prince-Bythewood told Entertainment Weekly. "So, if the audience wants more, there's certainly more story to tell."
"The Old Guard" is now streaming on Netflix.

Ordinary Mind
"Exciting and hope-inspiring work. The very reading of this book is in itself therapeutic."—James S. Grotstein, author of Who Is The Dreamer Who Dreams the Dream?
Exploring the Common Ground of Zen and Psychoanalysis
Barry Magid
add to cart Paperback $17.95
add to cart eBook $11.99
Is meditation an escape from—or a solution to—our psychological problems? Is the use of antidepressants counter to spiritual practice? Does a psychological approach to meditation reduce spirituality to "self-help"? What can Zen and psychoanalysis teach us about the problems of the mind and suffering?
Psychiatrist and Zen teacher Barry Magid is uniquely qualified to answer questions like these. Written in an engaging and witty style, Ordinary Mind helps us understand challenging ideas—like Zen Buddhism's concepts of oneness, emptiness, and enlightenment—and how they make sense, not only within psychoanalytic conceptions of mind, but in the realities of our lives and relationships.
This new paper edition of Magid's much-praised book contains additional case study vignettes.
224 pages, 6.00 x 9.00 inches
Barry Magid is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst practicing in New York City, and the founding teacher of the Ordinary Mind Zendo, also in New York. He is the author of the Wisdom titles Ordinary Mind, Ending the Pursuit of Happiness, and Nothing Is Hidden.

I See You, Buddha is based on a chapter in the Lotus Sutra, one of the most influential Buddhist texts worldwide—a classical scripture that has inspired a whole genre of works, especially in Japan, known as Lotus Literature. The Lotus Sutra teaches the way of the bodhisattva—a being engaged in compassionate, enlightened activity in the service of all—by offering examples of what this activity might look like in the world. One such model in the text is Bodhisattva Never Disrespectful (or Never Disparaging), who, despite troubling encounters with and even harsh treatment from others, bows down respectfully to everyone, recognizing their Buddha nature and honoring their own journeys along the bodhisattva path to enlightenment—whether they know they're future buddhas or not!

"Grieving Is Loving is a wise, moving, and compassionate book. Reading it brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of the loss of loved ones 30 and 45 years ago. Not only should its message be read and internalized by those suffering the loss of a beloved, but also by those with friends who have lost or are likely to lose someone in the future—in other words, by everyone."
—Irving Kirsch, PhD, Harvard Medical School, University of Connecticut, University of Hull, author of The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth
In The Grand Delusion, bestselling author Steve Hagen drills deeply into the most basic assumptions, strengths, and limitations of religion and belief, philosophy and inquiry, science and technology. In doing so, he shines new light on the great existential questions—Why is there Something rather than Nothing? What does it mean to exist? What is consciousness? What is the nature of truth?—and does so from an entirely unexpected direction.
Ultimately, this book reveals how all of our fundamental questions stem from a single error, a single unwarranted belief—a single Grand Delusion.

Sculpting the Buddha Within is the first major biography of Shinjo Ito, the founder of the Shinnyo-en tradition of Buddhism and one of the twentieth century's most innovative spiritual teachers. Ito was schooled in Shingon, the millennium-old esoteric Buddhism of Japan, and used that as the basis for developing a unique lay practice grounded in the principles and concepts of the Mahayana version of the Nirvana Sutra.
Ito's wish was to help his practitioners see their own potential for goodness so that they, too, would be inspired to work diligently to shape and give form to their inner buddha. Rather than encouraging his followers to believe in a fixed system of practice or beliefs, Ito taught how to live life in accordance with one's buddha nature—and the gratitude, creativity, and happiness latent within it.
The Lotus Sutra is regarded as one of the world's great religious scriptures and most influential texts. It's a seminal work in the development of Buddhism throughout East Asia and, by extension, in the development of Mahayana Buddhism throughout the world. Taking place in a vast and fantastical cosmic setting, the Lotus Sutra places emphasis on skillfully doing whatever is needed to serve and compassionately care for others, on breaking down distinctions between the fully enlightened buddha and the bodhisattva who vows to postpone salvation until all beings may share it, and especially on each and every being's innate capacity to become a buddha.
This illustrated edition features more than 110 full-page and two-page illustrations by a world-renowned and award-winning artist, and brings the fantastical and image-filled world of the Lotus Sutra vividly to life. Demi's illustrations are both classical and contemporary in feel, perfectly complementing Reeves's masterful and modern translation.
The most contemporary of the the classic koan collections—representing centuries of practical refinement by Zen masters working with their students.
Entangling Vines is a translation of the Shumon Kattoshu, the only major koan text to have been compiled in Japan rather than China. Most of the central koans of the contemporary Rinzai koan curriculum are contained in this work. Indeed, Kajitani Sonin (1914–1995)—former chief abbot of Shokoku-ji and author of an annotated, modern-Japanese translation of the Kattoshu—commented that "herein are compiled the basic Dharma materials of the koan system."
A distinctive feature of Entangling Vines is that, unlike the Gateless Gate and Blue Cliff Record, it presents the koans "bare," with no introductions, commentaries, or verses. The straightforward structure of its presentation lends the koans added force and immediacy, emphasizing the Great Matter, the essential point to be interrogated, while providing ample material for the rigors of examining and refining Zen experience.
Containing 272 cases and extensive annotation, the collection is not only indispensable for serious koan training but also forms an excellent introduction to Buddhist philosophy.
The concept of nonduality lies at the very heart of Mahayana Buddhism. In the West, it's usually associated with various kinds of absolute idealism in the West, or mystical traditions in the East—and as a result, many modern philosophers are poorly informed on the topic. Increasingly, however, nonduality is finding its way into Western philosophical debates. In this "scholarly but leisurely and very readable" (Spectrum Review) analysis of the philosophies of nondualism of (Hindu) Vedanta, Mahayana Buddhism, and Taoism, renowned thinker David R. Loy extracts what he calls "a core doctrine" of nonduality. Loy clarifies this easily misunderstood topic with thorough, subtle, and understandable analysis.
"Intimacy is based on the willingness to open ourselves to many others, to family, friends, and even strangers, forming genuine and deep bonds based on common humanity. Koshin Paley Ellison's teachings share the way forward into a path of connection, compassion, and intimacy."
—His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Each of us has an enormous capacity for love—a deep well of attention and care that we can offer to ourselves and others. With guidance that is both simple and wholly transformative, Koshin Paley Ellison, Zen teacher and psychotherapist, shows us how to uncover it: pay attention, be of service, and be with others.
With this inspiring and down-to-earth book, drawn from the Zen precepts and illustrated with anecdotes from Koshin's own life and practice, you'll learn how to
explore and investigate with your own core values,
identify the mental habits that could be unconsciously hurting yourself and others, and
overcome isolation.
Each chapter closes with a contemplation to help integrate the teachings into your life.
This book is about getting back in touch with your values, so you can live energetically, authentically, and lovingly. This is an invitation to close the gaps we create between ourselves and others—to wake up to ourselves and the world around us.
It's time to live wholeheartedly.
Women played major roles in the history of Buddhist China, but given the paucity of the remaining records, their voices have all but faded. In Daughters of Emptiness, Beata Grant renders a great service by recovering and translating the enchanting verse—by turns assertive, observant, devout—of forty-eight nuns from sixteen centuries of imperial China. This selection of poems, along with the brief biographical accounts that accompany them, affords readers a glimpse into the extraordinary diversity and sometimes startling richness of these women's lives.
A sample poem for this stunning collection:
The sequence of seasons naturally pushes forward,
Suddenly I am startled by the ending of the year.
Lifting my eyes I catch sight of the winter crows,
Calling mournfully as if wanting to complain.
The sunlight is cold rather than gentle,
Spreading over the four corners like a cloud.
A cold wind blows fitfully in from the north,
Its sad whistling filling courtyards and houses.
Head raised, I gaze in the direction of Spring,
But Spring pays no attention to me at all.
Time a galloping colt glimpsed through a crack,
The tap [of Death] at the door has its predestined time.
How should I not know, one who has left the world,
And for whom floating clouds are already familiar?
In the garden there grows a rosary-plum tree:
Whose sworn friendship makes it possible to endure.
—Chan Master Jingnuo
Chen-Chiu: The Original Acupuncture is based on an historic Chinese acupuncture text that remains vital to this day: the Ling-Shu-Jing. Dr. Claus Schnorrenberger, who has produced a well-known translation of Ling-Shu-Jing, here applies his personal medical experience—as a lecturer, and moreover, as an orthodox Western physician and Chinese acupuncturist/herbalist—to the principles of the text.
The result is a new view of the prevailing Western perceptions of Chinese medicines. The author calls into question such concepts as Chi, the meridians, and even acupuncture itself, in order to correct erroneous translations still in use by many to this day. Chen-Chiu provides an epistemological reflection on what Chinese medicine and acupuncture really mean, and adds new contrast and insight into Western and Eastern views of healing. This, the author rightly contends, is essential for the successful integration of Chinese medicines in the West.
Schnorrenberger's book is well-balanced and much-needed, appropriate not only as a reference for students and practitioners of Chinese medicine, but also as a learning aid for patients, health-care workers and administrators, Western physicians, and more.
Among the writings from the Dunhuang Caves, discovered in the mid-twentieth Century, are the Zen equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls—ancient texts unknown for centuries. The Ceasing of Notions is one such text. It takes a unique form: a dialogue between two imaginary figures, a master and his disciple, in which the disciple tenaciously pursues the master's pity utterances with follow-up questions that propel the dialogue toward ever more profound insights. And these questions prove to be the reader's very own. Soko Morinaga brings alive this compact and brilliant text with his own vivid commentary.
This volume also includes a generous selection from Morinaga's acclaimed autobiography, Novice to Master: An Ongoing Lesson in the Extent of my Own Stupidity.
Jeff Wilson started his walk on the Buddha's path as a Zen practitioner—taking up a tradition of vigorous self-effort, intensive meditation, and meticulous attention to rectitude in every action. But in Jeff's case, rather than freeing him from his suffering, he found those Zen practices made him nothing short of insufferable. And so he turned to Shin Buddhism—a path that is easily the most popular in Zen's native land of Japan but is largely unknown in the West.
Shin emphasizes an "entrusting heart," a heart that is able to receive with gratitude every moment of our mistake-filled and busy lives. Moreover, through walking the Shin path, Jeff comes see that each of us (himself especially included) are truly "foolish beings," people so filled with endlessly arising "blind passions" and ingrained habits that we so easily cause harm even with our best intentions. And even so, Shin holds out the tantalizing possibility that, by truly entrusting our foolish selves to the compassionate universe, we can learn to see how this foolish life, just as it is, is nonetheless also a life of grace.
Buddhism of the Heart is a wide-ranging book of essays and open-hearted stories, reflections that run the gamut from intensely personal to broadly philosophical, introducing the reader to a remarkable religious tradition of compassionate acceptance.
The word "mu" is one ancient Zen teacher's response to the earnest question of whether even a dog has "buddha nature". Discovering for ourselves the meaning of the master's response is the urgent work of each of us who yearns to be free and at peace. "Practicing Mu" is synonymous with practicing Zen, "sitting with Mu" is an apt description for all Zen meditation, and it is said that all the thousands and thousands of koans in the Zen tradition are just further elaborations of Mu.
This watershed volume brings together over forty teachers, ancient and modern masters from across centuries and schools, to illuminate and clarify the essential matter: the question of how to be most truly ourselves.
Includes writings from: Dogen • Hakuin • Dahui • Thich Thien-An Zenkei Shibayama • Seung Sahn • Taizan Maezumi • Sheng Yen Philip Kapleau • Robert Aitken • Jan Chozen Bays • Shodo Harada Grace Schireson • John Daido Loori • John Tarrant Barry Magid • Joan Sutherland … and many more!

Pakistan's Deputy High Commissioner to India, Syed Haider Shah, was summoned to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in South Block in New Delhi early on Friday. The senior MEA officials conveyed to him New Delhi's concerns over the inclusion of Gopal Singh Chawla and other pro-Khalistani leaders based in Pakistan in the committee, which Prime Minister Imran Khan's Government recently constituted to welcome the pilgrims from India through the proposed "Kartarpur Corridor", sources said.
Once completed, the "Kartarpur Corridor" linking India and Pakistan would facilitate pilgrims from India to travel to the final resting place of Sikhism's founder Guru Nanak in Pakistan.
India also asked Pakistan to clarify its position on certain issues related to implementation of the Kartarpur Corridor project on which differences emerged between the two sides when the officials of the two governments had held the first meeting on Kartarpur Corridor at Attari (India) on the Attari-Wagah border on March 14.
The second meeting between the officials of the MEA and the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India and their counterparts in Government of Pakistan had been scheduled to take place at Wagah (Pakistan) on the Attari-Wagah border on April 2.
New Delhi, however, made it clear that the next meeting could happen only when it would receive clarification from Islamabad on the reports indicating of Pakistan Government accommodated people, who had been campaigning for carving out a Khalistan out of India, sources said.
India decided to put on hold its engagement with Pakistan on Kartarpur Corridor just a day after the neighbouring country claimed that its own probe into the dossier it received from New Delhi found that no individual or entity in its territory was in any way linked to the February 14 killing of over 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel at Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir in a suicide attack.
Chawla, who is known to be linked to anti-India and pro-Khalistan entities based in Pakistan, has been accommodated in a committee that Khan Government constituted this week in connection with the "Kartarpur Corridor".
He is also linked to radical cleric Hafiz Saeed, who is based at Lahore in Pakistan and whom New Delhi suspects to be the founder of the terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) as well as the brain behind the November 26-28, 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.
Not only Chawla, but several other pro-Khalistani activists based in Pakistan – Bison Singh, Kuljit Singh and Maninder Singh – were included in the committee set up by Khan Government to welcome pilgrims from India, when they would arrive at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib at Kartarpur in Pakistan.
The Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Pakistan is among the holiest for the Sikhs as it marks the place where Guru Nanak lived for 18 years and finally breathed his last in 1539.
India is insisting to make the movement of its pilgrims from the country to Pakistan through "Kartarpur Corridor" visa-free as also free of any other permit, documentation or fees. Pakistan Government, however, has been seeking to impose a special permit along with charging a fee, which, New Delhi argued, would be repugnant to the religious sentiments of pilgrims and the spirit of providing them smooth and easy access to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur through the proposed corridor. Pakistan has also not yet agreed to allow overseas citizens of India to avail the corridor.


In my guild, I've had a number of players express the following concerns: (1) during the most recent golden event folks would've preferred as rewards equipment above level 12, radios, and more coins; (2) some folks r having trouble accessing the cinema, eg. Either not able to access as frequently or not able to access at all since the upgrade, and (3) a hope that survivor upgrade costs can be lowered. I advised folks to send constructive criticism and suggestions for game improvement to the forum, so the developers can be made aware of player concerns/requests. Thank u, in advance, for ur time and consideration.
And the auto zoom and screen moving thing that always makes you move exactly where you don't want too.
Lol, bgbelden! For the longest time, I thought I was making inadvertent mistakes in navigation. Perhaps, by accidentally touching my touch screen with my palm. I was so relieved, when I read in the forum that others were experiencing the same problem.
Hitman, in my guild, we have asked folks to get an app called LINE. It helps with communication a bit and provides the ability to use screenshots for skills training, it also alerts folks audibly when new chat data has been transmitted. However, it does not necessarily inform the team when members r playing, as it can be loaded on cell phones, etc.. and not necessarily on the device where the game is installed.
Fyi: I dont know if it was a coincidence or if the game developers actually read my post, but the day after I posted my comments, my team member who couldn't use the cinema had access again. Either way, thank you game developers. Your prompt action in fixing the problem made my teammate's day!
My supplies were maxed out 3 or 4 weeks before the 1.6 update came out. It was pretty frustrating to still be awarded supplies after that, especially from hard earned challenge rewards. Simple fix? Let us scrap them like we do unwanted weapons or "trade goods" so we can get XP or gold for any unwanted supplies.
The choice of the next survivor should be available, if I need a hunter I should have an option to choose only hunters.
Id like to be able to send gifts to my members. Wether it be radios, crops, or whatever to help them upgrade or get a new survivor if they lost one in a challenge. Something more to provide the team with besides earning stars so the active and non-active players can earn a reward that might not be that great or helpful. Give more to the active players for their valiant efforts and hard work.
this will prompt players to make alt accounts to gift themselves. making it easy to get what you want. Its bad for business.. NG wont allow it..
Hey is it possible to make a feature so that we can upgrade more that 1 weapon, player, or structure at a time. Maybe you can make it so that we can win extra upgrading slots in each area (equipment, survivors, and structures) like in the healing tent. Because as you upgrade, the wait times get crazy long and you can only upgrade 1 weapon, player, or structure at a time. I think the players would love a feature like this to help get us back in the game a little sooner. Instead of it taking 2 or 3 days to upgrade 3 or 4 different things, more slots could cut that wait in half. That's just a suggestion that I think would improve the playing experience.
I think leveling is a bit lousy.
I have conversed with many and the main suggestion we have is to make radios more readily available as they are too difficult to attain. As well as making survivors rate higher, level cap higher and less 1 star survivors when recruiting. The small community I converse with feels these are a concern as its very time consuming to find radios and is more or less luck based. Instead of wasting the limited gold on radios make them attainable more through rewards or make them a look crate option. I know more people feel the same as us and hope our suggestions are taken into consideration.
Higher cap levels for survivors, higher level equipment, ability to see what equipment is actually upgrading, as well as the ability to upgrade more than 1 survivor, equipment or building at the same time. And being able to pick a specific class when doing radio calls!
How about an in guild trade option? We could possibly sell / trade characters, weapons, or goods with people only within our guild.
I see some good ideas here. Why is it in the Wikia subsection?
This was probably already mentioned (sry i didnt feel like reading through everyones ideas) but the feature i would most like to see added would be a personal msg system. Click on someone in your guild click personal msg and then i would go to there notification mailbox instead of chat.
Just wondering why all the wrapped up dead bodies appear to have heads. I'm thinking some should be headless since decapitation is a way of ensuring final death. Just a thought for the graphics team.
New wish list item , take off the moronic bad word filter. Seems like this all stemmed from one whiny safe space thread.
Remove kill cap BS that I causing other problems.

The articles below are designed to help you understand the theological premise that God desires His people to be the "head, not the tail" as described in Deuteronomy 28:13. What does this mean in a diverse, contemporary society? Christ didn't come to lord over society but to serve through sacrificial giving to man. This is the call to every believer, to lay down their life for others and model the love of Christ in our world by serving and leading in the Spirit of Christ. And to be a catalyst to solve societal issues that plaque mankind.
America is losing faith and becoming a secular nation - but there is a cure.
"Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
As I have worked with my dad and seen a lot of the media response to Christianity, it has me really confused. The negative examples of Christianity on the news do not accurately reflect the God I know, nor the Christians I know personally. But, I do know that I used to perceive Christians the same way.
Many times, the way God calls us into His purpose for our work life is through a hardship of some kind. In other words, He "breaks" our staff, or our vocation. The purpose of the breaking is not to destroy us, but to bring us to a place of willingness to lay down our vocations so that God can use them. The breaking prepares our heart for the new calling. In Exodus 4, God required Moses to lay down his staff in order for him to see it as something that had power.
What is a biblical worldview? Barna research shows that less than 20% of Christians have a biblical worldview. Os Hillman explains what a biblical worldview is and why it is important.


I COULD ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF AND POST SOMETHING HERE TO RELAY MY PAST NIGHTMARES WITH THE FAMILY COURT SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM NEEDS SO MUCH ADJUSTMENT AND FAIRNESS PUT INTO IT TO PROTECT THE GOOD FATHERS WHO WNAT TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THEIR CHILDREN. I AM ONE OF MANY OUT THERE. BUT TO GO THRU THE PROCESS OF DOING RIGHT, WE ARE TREATED LIKE COMMON CRIMINALS! DEADBEAT DADS BEWARE, BECAUSE YOU MADE THIS SYSTEM THE WAY IT IS TODAY! THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF PAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN PERIOD! YOU CANT MAKE THEM DISAPEAR, BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION TO OUR SIMPLE ANSWER. WE AS A TOTAL UNION GET PETITIONS MADE UP AND SIGNED BY FATHERS WHO REALLY WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FAMILY COURTS WITH THE BASICS FOR START OF WHAT SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED FIRST IN THE LAWS THAT EXSIST TODAY. THE MAIN PROBLEM WHEN PETITIONS ARE FILED IS THEY TAKE SO LONG TO COME UP FOR A HEARING. WHY SO LONG? THEY ARE NEVER REVUED AND PUT TOGETHER BY ANYONE IN THE COURT AS FAR AS WHAT IS FAIR AND EQUAL. I AM SAYING (EXAMPLE) LIKE IF WIFES INCOME IS GREATER OR IF SHE IS LIVING HIGHER THAT THERE SHOULD BE A FORMULA AUTOMATICLY FIGURING WHAT IS EQUAL AMOUNT SET SO BOTH CONTRIBUTE IN THE SUPPORT IN ALL FAIRNESS. MOST OF US WHO WENT IN THE HEARINGS THINKING THEY COULD GET AROUND IT BY JUST HAVING COMMON SENSE WAS WRONG. GET TO KNOW THE SYSTEM BY FINDING THE FACTS. LAWYERS NEED TO HAVE MORE ACCESS TO THE FACTS TOO. IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED IN FILING SOME KIND OF PETITION WRITE YOUR VIEW POINTS AND INPUT, IDEAS. THANKS FOR READING. JERRY FROM LONG ISLAND, N.Y.
The Current System is similar to welfare and why wouldn't you get free money if you could and even feel entitled to it. There is too much emphasis placed on that mandatory 17% particularly if you have a lazy or incompetent support magistrate. Petitions are good but is there any unified movement and where to send them to. Are there any alternative plans being proposed by social thinktanks. i am a noob and have alot of questions but it starts somewhere . Things have got to change.


In the western Pyrenees, past Baztan and just a short distance from the French border, lies Zugarramurdi, the village of witches, where fantasy and reality blend to treat the imagination with the opportunity to take a thrilling trip back in time.
The cave, 400 metres from Zugarramurdi, can be visited from 9.00 am until nightfall. There are no stalagmites or stalactites and no cave paintings. However, it conserves an almost unique attraction: a magical halo that surrounds it because until the 17th century it was the scene of akelarres (covens), pagan rituals in which men and women escaped from daily routine through wild parties, dancing around bonfires and holding orgies by moonlight.
It is a natural enclave in which echoes of history and legend abound. It is really worth discovering, and if you are curious about the world of witchcraft, round off your visit at the museum of the witches.
Zugarramurdi, part of the Witchcraft Route, is a small village of just over 200 inhabitants located in the western Pyrenees of Navarre next to the border with France. Its streets and white houses contrast with the endless palette of greens that colour the surroundings.
On leaving the village, just 400 metres further on you will come across a natural setting of breathtaking beauty: the Olabidea stream, which originated in Hell according to its Basque name "Infernuko erreka". This stream has excavated a natural tunnel 120 metres long with walls of up to 12 metres high and two raised galleries.
There are no stalactites, stalagmites or cave paintings in the cave, but its unique appeal lies in their vastness and the legends that surround them. In it is easy to imagine the akelarres, and sense the stories that speak of witchcraft, pagan rituals and banquets presided over by the Devil. The names the cave have been called accentuate its relationship with that magical world. It is known as "Sorgin Leze" (witches' cave) on the most open side of the tunnel and as "Akelarre Leze" (covens' cave) in its narrowest part.
Myth or reality? What is true is that history linked the name of Zugarramurdi to witchcraft for ever thanks to the Auto de Fe of 1610. Constant accusations of preparation of potions, spells and witchcraft led the Inquisitor Valle-Alvarado to take 40 'suspects' to Logroño, where the Court of the Inquisition sentenced 11 people to die at the stake. Five of them, already dead, were burnt later. A plaque at the entry to the cave recalls the names of the people who died.
A celebration relives the festive use for which the caves were used each year. It takes place on 18th August, the last day of the village's festivities, which is when the traditional zikiro jate takes place, a multitudinous meal attended by 800 people at which lamb roasted on stakes is served.
A picturesque and easy walk links this cave with those at Zugarramurdi and Sare: the 6.75-kilometre-long Sendero de los Contrabandistas (smugglers' path). It is signposted with a blue horse, involves no difficulty and runs peacefully through meadows and woods.
Recommeded route for getting to know the area around the cave of Zugarramurdi.

Sony outs its first ever curved 4K TV
By Hugh Langley 2014-08-07T09:15:00.218Z
Gets in on the action
Bravo, Bravia
Not to be left out of the fun, Sony has just announced its own curved TV debut, the Bravia S90, ahead of the IFA 2014 trade show.
The TV come in 65-inch and 75-inch versions, and arrives with 4K Ultra HD resolution and curved design that hopes to give you a bit more immersion for your money.
Unlike Samsung's Bendable TV, Sony's is fixed in its curvy shape, so you'd better be certain that curved is the way you want to go before paying out.
In terms of other specs, the S90 is similar to the KD-65X9005B 4K TV, but adds Sony's 4.2 channel multi-angle live speaker system for the first time. Meanwhile the X-Reality Pro engine will upscale regular broadcasts to 4K.
Sony says its Multi-angle Live Speaker system will offer "expansive, uncompromised 360-degree surround sound", but we'll wait until our review to see if it's as good as it sounds.

Cities on the Move - Post-Ottoman
Yapı Kredi Culture and Art
Ankara, Belgrade, Istanbul and Sarajevo through the press photographers' lens, 1920s and 1930s
The University of Basel (Switzerland), in cooperation with Yapı Kredi Culture, Art and Publishing and the Museum of Yugoslavia (Belgrade, Serbia) presents the exhibition "Cities on the Move - Post-Ottoman". The project lead and curated by Prof. Dr. Nataša Miškovic will open at Yapı Kredi Cultural Centre on Tuesday, 23 May 2018.
"Cities on the Move - Post-Ottoman" is an exhibition that depicts the development of new states that emerged from the remains of the Ottoman Empire, through photo material taken from the Turkish and Yugoslav daily newspapers. The exhibition presents two hundred carefully selected, digitally processed photographs that record the changes in four cities: Istanbul and Ankara, Belgrade and Sarajevo during the 1920s and 1930s. Through the lenses of photo journalists from the papers "Cumhuriyet" and "Akşam" (Istanbul) and "Politika" and "Vreme" (Belgrade), the exhibition explores how the city centres were recreated in order to present the values of the new elites, how a modern citizen was made through mass sports events and new trends in dress and behaviour, while everyday life on the street continued to function without change.
This travelling exhibition, which had its premiere in Basel, is the result of the academic research project 'SIBA – A Visual Approach to Exploring Everyday Life in Turkish and Yugoslav Cities, 1920s and 1930s', which is being carried out under the direction of SNSF research professor Nataša Miškovic at University of Basel's Middle Eastern Studies. The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
The exhibition is available in the four languages German, English, Turkish and Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian and aims to relate Turkish and Yugoslav historical experiences within broader European history. In Turkey and the former Yugoslavia, the exhibition intends to stimulate the public debate on the Ottoman heritage: By commemorating the joint historical trajectories that existed alongside the respective differences, and which have been lost in the course of the establishment of national states, the exhibition contributes to mutual understanding in the region.
The exhibition is organized along five topics: cityscapes, nation and the body, dressing the nation, leisure, and the bazaar. It challenges and encourages the visitors to explore and to guess each city where the photographs have been taken, emphasizing that each of these four cities have much more in common than we presume today. Extensive information on many of the photographs is available on the academic online database 'Visual Archive Southeastern Europe (VASE)', a project administered by Miškovic in cooperation with the University of Graz.
In addition to the Basel research team and the Belgrade Museum of Yugoslavia, professor of photography Mehmed A. Akšamija from the Sarajevo Academy of Fine Arts, and Belgrade exhibition designers Irena and Igor Stepancic participated in developing the exhibition.
As a world premiere, the documentary film Zeitgeist (Zamanın ruhu, 27'), produced by Miškovic in cooperation with the well-known Czech-Croat film director Lordan Zafranovic, will be presented at the Istanbul exhibition opening. Accompanied by the magical voice of Bosnian singer Bozo Vreco, and based on the exhibition pictures, the film takes the spectators on an emotional journey through progress and destitution, tradition and modernity, good times and bad times in the southeast of Europe.
The exhibition will be open to visitors until 29 July 2018. During this period, the film Zeitgeist will be screened as a part of the exhibition.

Мёртвые сны — четвёртый студийный альбом группы Фактора Страха, вышел 14 января 2010 года. Последний альбом, записанный с Ильёй Александровым, Дмитрием Скопиным-Панюковым и Станиславом Вознесенским.

История создания
«Beyond The Strength» — это переведённая на английский язык, ранее известная, композиция «Выше сил» с альбома «Театр военных действий, акт 1». «Cracking Into Dust» также переведённая песня, в оригинале — «Разлетаясь в пыль». По каким-то причинам на пластинку не попадает песня «Всё сначала», впоследствии входит в сольный альбом Константина Селезнёва «Территория Х».

29 апреля 2010 года от остановки сердца умирает вокалист Илья Александров, вскоре на смену ему приходит Михаил Сидоренко. Презентация альбома с участием Ильи Александрова «Мёртвые сны» так и не успела состояться.

Отзывы критиков
(<…>) С самого начала нащупав оптимальный баланс между мелодикой и драйвом, Фактор страха и на «Мёртвых снах» «держит марку», выдавая агрессивный материал с цепляющими вокальными партиями, причём вершиной альбома я бы назвал роскошную балладу «Потерянный рай» — с такой вещью прямая дорога в ротацию на радио! Интересным дополнением к русскоязычному материалу диска оказалась пара старых боевиков с английскими текстами (правда, не вынесенных в качестве каких-то особенных бонусов) — «Beyond The Strength» и «Cracking Into Dust» — уж не «пристрелка» ли это перед интервенцией на западный рынок?

Список композиций

Участники записи

Основной состав
 Илья «Eel-A» Александров — вокал
 Константин Селезнёв — музыка, тексты, гитара, вокал, клавишные

Okay, I will say it out loud. Far too many Hollywood celebs are self-aggrandizing idiots when it comes to politics and culture. Their worldview makes them feel superior to the rest us. Neither facts nor common sense will change their minds. Ronald Reagan nailed it when he said, "It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so."
Mr Jackson, I am black. I resent your assumption that Americans are racists looking for reasons to look cross-eyed at Muslims and young black men. Frankly, members of both groups (Muslims and blacks) have declared war on Americans.
So tell me Mr Jackson. How are we suppose to deal with the fact that practically every terrorist attack resulting in the maiming and murder of Americans has been by Muslims? Also, though under reported, black youth flash mob attacks, the knock-out game http://bit.ly/1G2iqTj and polar bear hunting attacks on innocent whites are frequent.
The Black Lives Matter hate group which Mr Jackson and his Hollywood homeys hold in high regard have declared it open season on killing cops and "crackas" (white people).http://bit.ly/1UqzIpn How are Americans suppose to process that?
A white friend was mugged on a Baltimore street. My friend admitted he was preoccupied. Had he been paying attention, upon seeing the group of thuggish young black males approaching, his street-smarts would have kicked in causing him to cross over to the opposite side of the street. Mr Jackson would deem my friend a racist guilty of profiling. In the minds of liberals, politically correctness trumps everything; even self-preservation instincts and life-experiences.
What I find so scary about the Muslim thing is we have no way of knowing who is for us or "a-gin" us. All the successful terrorist attacks maiming and murdering Americans were by Muslims who presented themselves as harmless neighbors, friends and co-workers.
The Boston Marathon was bombed by the seemingly Americanized Tsarnaev brothers. They killed 3 and wounded over 260, many maimed for life.
For crying out loud, the Muslim terrorist at Ft Hood was a major in the U.S. Army. Major Nidal Hasan, shot and killed 13 and injured over 30 while yelling, "Allahu akbar! (God is great)"
The San Bernardino shooters were undercover Muslim terrorists. They left their company's Christmas party, returned later wearing combat gear and killed 14 co-workers.
Again I ask Mr Jackson, how should we as responsible reasonable Americans respond?
And another thing. What is up with Jackson and other mega-rich black celebs constantly trashing white Americans whose patronage made them ga-zillionaires.
Oprah Winfrey and I were co-workers at WJZ-TV in Baltimore before she became nationally renowned "Oprah." Oprah co-hosted our local morning talk show. Blacks were a bit suspicious of her for being comfortable with whites. Black viewers did not make Oprah a mega star. White viewers made Oprah.
Sameul L. Jackson, Oprah and other black celebs relentlessly bashing America is a huge disservice to all Americans, particularly black youths. Rather than saying their success is "because" of America, most black celebs promote the liberal spin; saying their success is "in spite of" America. The truth is America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it. The Left is relentless in its efforts to insidiously hide the blessing of America from minorities.
Mr Jackson and other black celebs, your insistence on portraying America as a hellhole of racism towards minorities is irresponsible, divisive and hate-generating. Your supportive public deserves much, much better.

Q: Retrieve Hibernate Search results directly from Lucene Index How can I execute a search using Hibernate Search that will NOT retrieve the actual entities from the database and will instead just return the Document cache records for these entities? I am making sure to store the fields that I need inside the index. The database will be active and available during this process, I just wanted to decrease the unnecessary load.
@Column
@Field (index = Index.YES, store = Store.YES)
private String title;

@Id
@Column
@DocumentId
@Field (store = Store.YES)
private String guid;

Session sess = sessionFactory.openSession();
FullTextSession fts = org.hibernate.search.Search.getFullTextSession(sess);
//returns matching Articles from database, how would I retrieve only the index records?
Query query = fts.createFullTextQuery(luceneQuery, Article.class);

Versions:
Hibernate Search 4.1.1.Final
Hibernate Core 4.1.6.Final
Lucene 3.5

A: have a look at the Projection feature of Hibernate Search as described in the docs.
The key is to call query.setProjection with the list of field names you want to retrieve from the index. Something like:
query.setProjection( "field1", "field2", "field3" );

Note though that as a result you will get object arrays and not managed Hibernate entities.

The weekend has no debt ceiling.
You and Genghis Khan have a lot in common: a love of conquering. The occasional experiment with creative facial hair. Compare notes at this traveling exhibit, where you can inspect his original armor, swords and jewelry. Yes, Genghis wore man jewelry.
Your favorite 1970s-style cocktail den is rolling out its midsummer cocktails—Prohibition-influenced libations like the Seelbach (bourbon and sparkling wine) and the Pendennis (with apricot brandy and gin). Or you can stick with the joint's signature punch bowl of the week. Your ladle skills are second to none.
Birthdays are a time for reflection, cake and, of course, sushi. So the Bishop Arts spot is celebrating its fourth anniversary by serving up sushi Xalapa Rolls for $4 every time you order a signature cocktail, like the potent Purple Haze Martini. No, it doesn't come with a free guitar solo.
We have four words for you. Kegs. Lake. Santa Claus. For obvious reasons (okay, maybe not), the Flying Saucer is tapping kegs of its favorite Christmas brews (from Saint Arnold and St. Bernardus) on Sunday. Don't forget your mistletoe.

So ive noticed a lot of new and moderately experianced players have almost no idea how to handel bear attacks and griefers feed off that inexperiance by hiding bows or stealling all the arrows.
So heres the first thing you should know. Stand on items. No animals including mosquitos can get you while on items. So if theres something on a tile like berry bushes, hats, branches, fire wood, poop , etc stand on it.
if your a young girl or a fertile girl ignore the bear. Dont try to save the town infact run to a safer area to rase more children to come back to town later. More often than not ive seen towns die because all the girls try to distract the bears.
If your shooting it stand on a item with open tiles on each side of you. The bear will go across you to stand beside you. Shoot it then wait for it to move put the bow down reload the arrow wait for the bear to move. Then shoot it again. Once more and its dead.
Always remove arrows before skinning if you dont the arrows can disapear.
Now this is the best tip for a long lasting town. Build a stone wall infront of all nearby bear caves. They cant get out of the cave then and will retun inside. The stone walls will eventually turn ancient walls insuring that no one will ever release a bear from that cave again since ancient walls can not be removed currently. Or to save stone use newcoman tower foundations for twice the stone efficiency. Not belltowers since they can be removed.
