Yara corruption trial set for early next year
The Oslo City Court has set aside three full months to hear the state's corruption case against four former top executives of fertilizer producer Yara, one of Norway's biggest and most international companies. The company itself avoided a lengthy court trial by agreeing to pay the largest fine for corruption in Norwegian history.
Yara agreed to pay NOK 295 million (USD 49 million) after being charged with bribing the son of the former oil minister in Libya, the son of a civil servant in India and two employees of the Russian company Phosagro, which supplies Yara production plants with raw materials.
The former chief executive of Yara, Thorleif Enger, and former top company executives Tor Holba, Daniel Clauw and Ken Wallace are all charged with serious corruption as well but have denied any wrongdoing. They thus plan to defend themselves in the lengthy trial now set to start on January 5.
They hope to convince the court that they can't be blamed for the corruption uncovered in the company. They therefore must fend off claims of corruption that the company itself has admitted occurred. The case already has pitted the former executives against the current management of Yara.
Enger was CEO of Yara when the bribery payments were allegedly made. Wallace was chief legal counsel and Clauw headed operations. Holba, who still works for Yara, led the negotiations in Libya that resulted in the establishment of a joint venture plant there but he also claims to have been the whistle-blower on the alleged bribery payments. Holba told Enger about demands for payment and, after Enger's retirement, told current Yara CEO Jørgen Ole Haslestad about them as well. Haslestad didn't report the matter to police until more than two years later, however, when newspaper Dagens Næringsliv (DN) started asking questions and first broke the news of the corruption suspicions.

Use the Enable Outlook Anywhere wizard on the Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server to allow users to connect to their Exchange mailbox from the Internet. Outlook Anywhere eliminates the need for users in remote offices or mobile users to use a virtual private network (VPN) to connect to their Exchange servers.
Outlook Anywhere will be enabled on your Client Access server after a configuration period of approximately 15 minutes. To verify that Outlook Anywhere has been enabled, check the application event log on the Client Access server.
Install a valid Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate from a certification authority (CA) that the client trusts.
Install the Microsoft Windows RPC over HTTP Proxy component if it wasn't already installed by default in Windows Server 2008. For detailed steps, see Install the Windows RPC Over HTTP Proxy Component.
Enable Outlook Anywhere on the Client Access server.
When you install Exchange 2010, you can install a default SSL certificate that's created by Exchange Setup. However, this certificate isn't a valid SSL certificate that's trusted by the client. To use Outlook Anywhere, you must install an SSL certificate that's trusted by the client.
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Outlook Anywhere configuration settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.
In the console tree, navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access.
In the action pane, click Enable Outlook Anywhere.
In the Enable Outlook Anywhere wizard, type the external host name or URL for your organization in the box under External host name.
This is the URL, for example site.contoso.com, that users will use to connect to the Exchange server by using Outlook Anywhere.
Select an available external authentication method. You can select Basic authentication or NTLM authentication.
Basic authentication sends the user name and password in clear text. It also requires that users enter domain, user name, and password every time that they connect to the Exchange server. When you use NTLM authentication, the user's credentials are never sent over the network. Instead, the client computer and the server exchange hashed values of the user's credentials. NTLM can also use the current Windows operating system logon information.
Even though it's more secure, NTLM may not work with firewalls that examine and modify traffic. You can use an advanced firewall server such as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 together with NTLM authentication for Outlook Anywhere.
Negotiate Ex authentication is an authentication type that's reserved for future Microsoft use and should not be used. Use of this setting will cause authentication to fail.
If you're using an SSL accelerator and you want to use SSL offloading, select the check box next to Allow secure channel (SSL) offloading.
Select this check box if you'll be using a separate server to handle Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and decryption. When you use SSL offloading, the firewall in front of the Client Access server ends the SSL session and then establishes a new non-SSL session to the Exchange server.
Don't use this option unless you're sure that you have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading. If you don't have an SSL accelerator that can handle SSL offloading, and you select this option, Outlook Anywhere won't function correctly.
Click Enable to apply these settings and enable Outlook Anywhere.
Click Finish to close the Enable Outlook Anywhere wizard.
In this example, the Client Access server named Exch1 is enabled for Outlook Anywhere with its external host name as site.contoso.org, the default authentication set to Basic, and SSL offloading not selected.
This example enables the server named Server01 for Outlook Anywhere. The external host name is set to mail.contoso.com, both Basic and NTLM authentication are used, and SSL offloading is set to $true. The ClientAuthenticationMethod parameter specifies the authentication method that the Autodiscover service provides to the Outlook Anywhere clients to authenticate to the Client Access server. The authentication method can be set to Basic or NTLM.
For more information about syntax and parameters, see Enable-OutlookAnywhere.
After you enable Outlook Anywhere, you may want to Configure Client Access Server Properties.

In a bid to market a plethora of unique products manufactured in the state, the Kerala government is planning to introduce the Made-in-Kerala brand.
Kerala State Industries Minister P Rajeev said the objective is to certify the quality of own products manufactured in the state and to help find national and international markets.
The Minister said an e-commerce platform would be developed to give a fillip to the enterprises and a discussion in this regard is in the final stages.
"Steps are on to launch a Kerala brand system to certify the quality of products being manufactured in the state and to help them find national and international markets. The Kerala brand products have already won the global attention," Rajeev told the Assembly.
"If it is a food item, it would go like, "Made-in Kerala, safe-to-eat and certified by the Government of Kerala" under the proposed brand. Then, it will get a value-addition in the market," the Minister said while speaking during the Question and Answer session.
The Minister stated that an Open Network Platform will be developed with the support of the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) for selling products of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
According to Rajeev, Kerala government is planning to launch a geo-marketing portal to promote and support those products which have the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.

Engineers develop revolutionary technology that uses solar energy to turn seawater into potable water
Solar energy is often used to power the process that converts undrinkable seawater into potable liquid. Italian researchers found a way to vastly increase the efficiency of the solar-powered desalination process, resulting in at least twice the amount of drinkable water compared to older approaches.
Desalination removes salt from seawater so that it can be safely consumed. This process uses a lot of energy, especially when compared to getting freshwater from rivers or underground aquifers.
This led Politecnico di Torino researchers to develop a more efficient desalination unit that can float on water. They were influenced by the ability of plants to move water absorbed by the roots to the leaves.
The device is made of a porous material that allowed seawater to pass through without the need for a pump. It used solar energy to evaporate the gathered water, separating it from the salt and making it drinkable.
"This process can be facilitated by membranes inserted between contaminated and drinking water to avoid their mixing, similarly to some plants able to survive in marine environments (for example the mangroves)," explained Torino researchers Matteo Fasano and Matteo Morciano. (Related: Have researchers found a new way to clean contaminated water through an electrochemical process?)
A passive desalination device that uses solar thermal energy to separate salt from seawater
The typical desalination system use active methods like water pumps. The expensive mechanical and electric parts must be supported by highly trained specialists.
In comparison, the approach developed by the Torino researchers employed passive technology that did not need any additional machinery. Their solar desalination device is much cheaper, easier to install, and similarly easy maintain.
These qualities made passive desalination systems perfect for coastal areas that lack access to potable water or the urban infrastructure that conveniently provided fresh water for residents. But these devices are also much less energy-efficient than their active counterparts.
Earlier experiments sought to collect as much solar energy as possible. For the new device, the Italian research team improved the management of the solar thermal energy. They reported that each square meter of the device could desalinate up to 20 liters of seawater each day.
"The reason behind the performance increase is the 'recycling' of solar heat in several cascade evaporation processes, in line with the philosophy of 'doing more, with less'," said the two Matteos. "Technologies based on this process are typically called 'multi-effect,' and here we provide the first evidence that this strategy can be very effective for 'passive' desalination technologies as well."
The many possible uses of the desalination system
The Torino team spent more than two years to develop the passive desalination unit. During the developmental period, they tested it in the Ligurian Sea off the coast of Varazze, Italy.
This technology could prove to be of vital use in the remote seaside communities of developing countries. Many of those areas lacked a steady supply of fresh water but enjoyed plenty of sunlight that could power the desalination process.
Similarly, its effectiveness, reliability, and simplicity made the solar-powered desalination unit an excellent investment for emergency situations. A natural disaster could knock out the local power grid and water supply, but the device will be able to continue to provide safe drinking water as long as there is sunlight.
A modified version could also be employed as a floating garden for growing edible plants in crowded urban areas. Other alterations could be used to remove salt contaminants in freshwater aquifers or purify polluted wastewater from industries and mines.
The researchers are looking for an industrial partner to improve the scale, toughness, and versatility of their prototype desalination system.

Amid the high speed cosmic rays raining down on us from the depths of space are a handful of antimatter particles called positrons.
Astronomers think that Earth is showered by these 'anti-electrons' because of pulsars, but there's a weird catch – there are more of these particles coming at us than there should be. And now, thanks to a new study, we might finally get some answers.
Cosmic rays are incredibly fast particles, since they're being shot down from space at high energies. Positrons make up a small percent of these super speedy particles, but nobody is entirely sure where or how they're made.
To make matters more confusing, in 2008 a probe in Earth's orbit called PAMELA detected more high energy positrons reaching our corner of the cosmos than we'd expect.
These are neutron stars that channel charged particles into a beam with their super-strong magnetic fields. They get the pulsar name from the beam describing a circle as the star rotates, seen from Earth as a steady, rapidly pulsing light.
Amid the carnage particles like electrons and their mirror 'anti-matter' twins can emerge, which are promptly whisked away on the shock waves produced by the collisions.
That's according to theory, anyway.
So when the HAWC observatory recently detected a couple of perfect candidate pulsars a few hundred light years away to study for signs of these energetic positrons, it seemed like a good opportunity to put the hypothesis to the test.
"Detectors at the HAWC observatory record gamma radiation emitted, among others, by a certain population of electrons produced by pulsars and accelerated by them to huge energies," says physicist Francisco Salesa Greus from the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow.
The answer was no. Not quite, anyway.
After 17 months spent collecting data and then thoroughly analysing it, the researchers found the pulsars were responsible for some of the extra-high energy positrons, but the figure was still several times too small to explain all of them.
"Since the involvement of close-by pulsars in the generation of high-energy positrons reaching us is so modest, other explanations become more and more likely," says Sabrina Casanova, who is also a researcher from the Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences.
One of these explanations involves the decay of massive dark matter particles.
It's a tempting idea, especially as it would provide us with a way to shine a light on the shadowy material making up a quarter of the Universe's mass, and finally start to gain an understanding of its other properties.
But it's important to keep in mind the death of one hypothesis isn't direct evidence of the strength of another.
The mystery of both dark matter and the extra speedy positrons remains. For now, we can only wait and see.

Q: Check if object is Null or undefined I have a function that includes an optional variable parameter. By default, I set the variable to NULL, but if it isn't NULL I'd like my function to do some stuff. I need a way to check if the variable is not null. This is complicated because I am using tidyeval, and just using is.null(var) throws an object not found error. I've found a hacky solution using try, but am hoping there's a better way.
library(dplyr)
dat <- data.frame(value = 1:8,
                         char1 = c(rep("a", 4), rep("b", 4)),
                         char2 = rep(c(rep("c", 2), rep("d", 2)), 2))

myfun <- function(dat, group = NULL, var = NULL) {

    x <- dat %>%
        group_by({{group}}, {{var}}) %>%
        summarize(mean = mean(value),
                            .groups = "drop")

    # if(!is.null(var)) { # Throws object not found error if not null

    null_var <- try(is.null(var), silent = TRUE)
    null_var <- null_var == TRUE
    if(!null_var)   {
        print("do something with `var`")
    }
    x
}
myfun(dat)
myfun(dat, char1)
myfun(dat, char1, char2)

A: {{ is the combination of enquo() and !! in one step. To inspect the contents of var, you need to decompose these two steps. enquo() defuses the argument and returns a quosure that you can inspect. !! injects the quosure into other calls.
Below we enquo() the argument at the start of the function. Inspect it with quo_is_null() (you could also use quo_get_expr() to see what's inside it). Then inject it inside group_by() with !!:
myfun <- function(dat, group = NULL, var = NULL) {
    var <- enquo(var)

    if (!quo_is_null(var)) {
        print("It works!")
    }

    # Use `!!` instead of `{{` because we have decomposed the
    # `enquo()` and `!!` steps that `{{` bundles
    dat %>%
        group_by({{ group }}, !!var) %>%
        summarize(mean = mean(value), .groups = "drop")
}

A: You can apply is.null to a symbol:
dat <- data.frame(value = 1:8,
                  char1 = c(rep("a", 4), rep("b", 4)),
                  char2 = rep(c(rep("c", 2), rep("d", 2)), 2))
myfun <- function(dat, group = NULL, var = NULL) {
  if (is.null(substitute(var))) {
    print("var was NULL")
  } else {
    print("var was not NULL")
  }
}
myfun(dat)
#> [1] "var was NULL"
myfun(dat, char1)
#> [1] "var was NULL"
myfun(dat, char1, char2)
#> [1] "var was not NULL"

Created on 2021-03-11 by the reprex package (v0.3.0)
If you just want to tell whether an argument was used, missing may be useful:
dat <- data.frame(value = 1:8,
                  char1 = c(rep("a", 4), rep("b", 4)),
                  char2 = rep(c(rep("c", 2), rep("d", 2)), 2))
myfun2 <- function(dat, group = NULL, var = NULL) {
  if (missing(var)) {
    print("var was missing")
  } else {
    print("var was not missing")
  }
}
myfun2(dat)
#> [1] "var was missing"
myfun2(dat, char1)
#> [1] "var was missing"
myfun2(dat, char1, char2)
#> [1] "var was not missing"

Noting the following wrinkles:
myfun(dat, char1, NULL)
#> [1] "var was NULL"

## yet

myfun2(dat, char1, NULL)
#> [1] "var was not missing"

z <- NULL
myfun(dat, char1, z)
#> [1] "var was not NULL"

The year 2005 marks Ayn Rand's Centennial Year.Ayn Rand's classic tale of a future dark age of the great "We"-a world that deprives individuals of name, independence, and values-anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

If you had no idea of the past, no freedom, no individuality, no love, It would seem appropriate to start asking questions. In the powerful story of Anthem one character begins to challenge not only his freedom, but his entire existence. I've never been so intrigued by a book I now understand the phrase "I couldn't put the book down" simply from the high doses of suspense and mystery.Anthem is about a street sweeper named Equality 7-2521 analysing his hardships of living in a communist society. In this future setting all individuality has been forgotten, and the period were these beliefs are accepted were completely forgotten. These time are named the unmentionable times (modern day). For example, Equality 7-2521 discovered a light bulb but he gets shunned by the Council because the light bulb represents the unmentionable times. Also Equality 7-2521 falls in love with a young woman named Liberty 5-3000 or "The Golden One" is what he named her. But later in the book the two star-crossed lovers had no choice but to vanish into the forest because love is another aspect of the unmentionable times that has been forsaken by the Council. "We wish to write this name, we wish to speak it, but we dare not speak it above a whisper." Equality 7-2521 wrote in his journal.One interesting choice of writing that Ayn Rand chose was when people referred to themselves they don't use "I." Individuality has been so looked down upon that when people speak their not only speaking for themselves but for all of their brothers as well. Words such as I, or Mine or Me don't even exist to them.I'm rewarding this book with 4½ stars. It made me realize that if something in your life doesn't seem justified, then you have the power to stand up and fight it. It's human nature to question things greater than us and if we are silenced, then we will do anything to claim victory. Anthem portrayed that in such a way that I was sitting on the end of my seat, but in the end; I would sit back and contemplate what I just read for hours.

Our skin is an amazing part of our body. Did you know that it is actually the largest organ our body has? The skin gives us seemingly endless information about the world around us. It is our first line of defense against infection and injury and helps regulate our body temperature. For our skin to function properly, it needs to be healthy and, believe it or not, a one hour session with your massage therapist can help with that.
Massage helps to stimulate tiny blood vessels found near the surface of the skin. Getting these vessels flowing brings fresh nutrients and life giving oxygen to the skin cells and this allows for regeneration, healing and a beautiful glow!
MOVE THOSE TOXINS RIGHT ON OUT!
Lymph drainage is another benefit of massage. Our lymph system is responsible for removing toxins and helping us fight infections. It can get blocked causing fluid retention (edema) and puffiness. A massage will get lymph fluid moving as it should!
After a massage there are a few points to remember that will boost the benefits you received!
H – Hydrate! An extra glass or two of water helps your body continue to flush toxins.
E – Eat some fresh fruits and veggies that aid in detoxification, like berries, apples, pumpkin and spinach.
A – Alcohol consumption should be kept at a minimum in the hours after a massage. The effects could be magnified and leave you feeling ill.
L – Listen to your body; it usually has important things to say! If you feel like resting, do so! If you feel energized, go for it!
Alternate layers of ingredients in a glass until filled to the rim.
Experiment with different fruits and berries!

Q: how to fix ''Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples: [219, 247]'' As title says when running the following code i get a trouble Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples: [219, 247], i have read that the problem should be on the np.array set for X and y, but i cannot address the problem because there is a price for every date so i dont get why it is happening, any help will be appreciated thanks!
import pandas as pd
import quandl, math, datetime
import numpy as np
from sklearn import preprocessing, svm, model_selection
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import matplotlib as plt
from matplotlib import style

style.use('ggplot')

df = quandl.get("NASDAQOMX/XNDXT25NNR", authtoken='myapikey')
df = df[['Index Value','High','Low','Total Market Value']]
df['HL_PCT'] = (df['High'] - df['Low']) / df['Index Value'] * 100.0
df = df[['Low','High','HL_PCT']]

forecast_col = 'High'
df.fillna(-99999, inplace=True)

forecast_out = int(math.ceil(0.1*len(df)))

df['label'] = df[forecast_col].shift(-forecast_out)
df.dropna(inplace= True)

X = np.array(df.drop(['label'],1))

X = preprocessing.scale(X)

X_lately = X[-forecast_out:]

X = X[:-forecast_out]

y=np.array(df['label'])
#X= X[:-forecast_out+1]
df.dropna(inplace=True)

    next_unix += one_day
    df.loc[next_date]= [np.nan for _ in range(len(df.columns) -1)] +
[i]

df['High'].plot()
df['Forecast'].plot()
plt.legend(loc=4)
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Price')
plt.show()

the expected result should be a plot of future price prediction for that ticker but besides that it is throwing that error 'Found input variables with inconsistent numbers of samples: [219, 247]'.

A: Your problem lies in these two lines extracted from your code:
X = X[:-forecast_out]
y= np.array(df['label'])

You're subsetting X, but leaving y "as it is".
You may check that shapes differ indeed by:
X.shape, y.shape

Change the last line to:
y= np.array(df[:-forecast_out]['label'])

and you're fine.
Note as well, instead of these repetitive lines:
y=np.array(df['label'])
#X= X[:-forecast_out+1]
df.dropna(inplace=True) # there is no na at this point
y= np.array(df['label'])

the following line (solution to your problem) is just enough:
y= np.array(df[:-forecast_out]['label'])

In Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's congressional testimony on Wednesday, he was asked when we would know if North Korea would choose to follow through on its pledge of complete denuclearization. "I don't know. I don't know the answer to that" was his stark response.
Why it matters: After his summit with Kim Jong-un, President Trump said on Twitter that "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea." In breaking from his boss on this critical point, Mike Pompeo made clear that, more than two months after the summit, no concrete steps have been taken to address North Korea's nuclear threat, making the administration's transparency on the negotiations all the more crucial.
The details: Pompeo confirmed that North Korea continues to produce fissile material, the key ingredient of its growing nuclear weapon stockpile. When senators asked for additional details on the state of Pyongyang's nuclear programs, he offered to provide a response only in a classified setting.
Reports since the Singapore summit underscore that there has been no fundamental change in North Korea's nuclear program, which may include as many as 60 nuclear warheads. If anything, North Korea may be expanding production at secret nuclear sites. Shortly after the hearing, news emerged that the Central Committee of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party decreed that North Korea will never relinquish its nuclear arsenal, marking another break with Trump's assessment.
What's next: It's too soon to write off the Singapore process entirely. But North Korea seems to be shrewdly dribbling out small steps on non-nuclear issues — like the return of presumed American remains from the Korean War — while continuing to build its nuclear arsenal. The danger is that Trump's premature declaration of victory has been read by China and others in the region as a green light to ease up on sanctions and pressure, reducing U.S. leverage and making eventual denuclearization less likely.
The bottom line: What's most needed is an accurate assessment, divorced from politics, of whether Trump's North Korea diplomacy is making progress toward denuclearization. Pompeo and his team should regularly provide both classified briefings and public updates — at Congress's insistence if necessary.
Jeff Prescott is executive director of National Security Action, a senior fellow at the Penn Biden Center and a former deputy national security advisor to Vice President Biden.

This MontCo theatre program for students with autism is a Barrymore nominee
Theatre Horizon's Autism Drama Program is one of the four nominees for this year's Victory Foundation Award and the only one in its category focusing on education for those on the spectrum.

Montgomery County theatre company Theatre Horizon's education programs are about more than teaching students how to act or write plays.
For Dawn Loveland Navarro, the director of education outreach at Theatre Horizon, all of the company's various education programs throughout the year, whether it be the after-school programs or the summer programs, are critical in teaching students the "basic skills of theater that translate into everyday life skills," like confidence, teamwork and storytelling, she said.
That rings especially true for its Autism Drama Program, which is currently running in its Fall 2017 season and offers pay-what-you-can theatre education to students who are on the autism spectrum. There are two programs within the Autism Drama Program: a youth drama class for students between the ages of 10 and 16, and a storytelling and playwriting class for older students.
The program is one of the four nominees for this year's Victory Foundation Award for Outstanding Theatre Education Program, which was introduced to the annual Barrymore Awards last year, and is the only one in its category focusing on autism education. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Monday, Oct. 30.
The theatre company has been highlighted for its mission-focused programming before: In February, it tackled the issue of food insecurity in MontCo — Pennsylvania's second-wealthiest county — with related programming surrounding "Grand Concourse," its play about a food kitchen.
Teaching theatre to students in the autism spectrum can have a boosted effect in bringing out each students' individual talents and skillsets.
Theatre has been a tool and outlet that other nonprofits have made the focus for engaging students with disabilities spectrum, in addition to making sure it's accessible for all kinds of audiences. Navarro believes teaching theatre to students in the autism spectrum can have a boosted effect in bringing out each students' individual talents and skillsets.
There was one instance when Navarro witnessed an educator who was trying to engage with a student who refused to do anything but draw during class time. Instead of pushing the student into joining whatever the rest of the students were doing, that teacher took what the student was drawing, a picture of New York City, and made it a setting for the other students to act in. The student who was drawing soon found herself engaged much more than before.
This kind of approach to teaching is what Navarro calls a "join, build, celebrate" model, where the focus is on learning what each student is interested or excels in and capitalizing on that.
"You join a student with what they're doing, you build on what they're doing to get to the next level whenever they're ready for it and when they get there, you celebrate and honor it in some way," Navarro said. "To have a place that says whoever you are is great … that's what we want. It's just a different perspective and it's an environment that many students thrive in."
John Orr, executive director of the arts accessibility-focused nonprofit Art-Reach and the chair of the committee that determines the Barrymore's Victory Foundation Award, said the award is recognizing the work that orgs are doing to make sure kids from all backgrounds can access the arts.
The award's nominees "are raising the bar for the entire theatre community," Orr wrote in an email. "They are exemplifying best practices in theatre education and they are proudly declaring that arts education is critical to learning and personal growth."

9 Powerful Tips To Help You on #givingtuesday
We are coming up on #GivingTuesday on November 30, 2021.
Donations help so much, by making a donation on Giving Tuesday the funds go towards the conservation of the afforestation area as trees are the largest and cheapest method of removing CO2 from the atmosphere mitigating climate change. Forests clean our air, our water, and regulate our climate. Forests help to manage and alleviate flooding.

Your donation goes towards assisting the installation of interpretive signs and the creation of an afforestation area outdoor classroom for children across the City of Saskatoon.
Did you know? You can receive as much as 53% back through charity tax deductions. Receipts can be issued by the non-profit charity Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. does for your donation.
Connecting on #Giving Tuesday with a donation or by contacting Donate A Car Canada for the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. helps to install wildlife friendly fence can be installed. This allows the deer fawns and moose calves to pass through without getting caught in the fence, or without being left behind.
"Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege."
John Rockefeller
Your reach out for The Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. when you donate on #GivingTuesday, or contact Donate A Care Canada goes towards the installation of a garbage receptacle to protect the semi- wilderness habitat without pollution in the environment. This installation will protect the natural areas at this amazing habitat.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to contact Donate A Car Canada or donate via Canada Helps and help habitat for bees and other pollinators which help keep our planet and our city green. They are facing habitat loss, and what a better place than the afforestation areas to protect their habitat where herbicides and pesticides are not in use.
Your donation also helps provide the means for classrooms of children, or youth groups to come out to the afforestation areas by bus for inquiry-learning on-site in these naturalized afforestation areas.
I absolutely believe in the power of tithing. My own experience is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works
What about the contribution your donation makes towards installation of a metal park identification sign and mitigate illegal motorized vehicle trespass and illegal trash dumping.
Your contribution helps to create and maintain a GPS place-based learning Prairie Forest app to take the afforestation areas online, and share the community stories of legends, and memories.
Reaching out to Donate A Car Canada or by making a donation for #GivingTuesday in support of the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. does help to provide groups of volunteers with gloves and trash bags to conduct clean ups. Community volunteer clean ups go a long way to protect the woodlands, grasslands and wetlands.
A gift like these make a real difference. Make an impact with your gift, and help make the world a better place.

The Single Most Important Thing You Need To Know About Forest Restoration
What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
Chris Maser
#GenerationRestoration United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
The shelter roof was coming down and actually a log had rolled off of it the day before the restoration event occurred, so *whew* it was a lucky coincidence that this event took place as there are classrooms of children and families also with children using the forest at the moment who may be curious about structures such as these. Sorry we did not take a picture of the sagging roof before the event started. At the end of the event these were the volunteers remaining (There were those who left early before the photos were taken.)
A huge thank you goes out to the volunteers who came out to help with making the forest safer for users of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Also another thank you goes out to these volunteers who assisted to make the forest safer for the elm trees growing near this structure. With the Elms facing two natural threats -Dutch Elm Disease and the Elm ZigZag Sawfly both devastating for Elm trees- it is dangerous for people to also be a threat to the elms of the afforestation area. There are indeed wrong seasons, and methods for pruning, or taking down elm trees lest Dutch Elm Disease enter into the Forest.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
The volunteers who came out for this restoration event on Arbor Week, did indeed become forest guardians as advocated by Richard St. Barbe Baker to take care of trees everywhere! These citizens also took an active role on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal SDG 15 Life On Land and helped to stop the degradation of forests.
The restoration work did involve the taking down of a lean-to tied to existing trees in the middle of a forest area with endangered species at risk in the forest. This restoration will also encourage forest users to stay on trails, enhancing forest guardianship of the woodlands.
1/ Cutting down trees in an area high with Elm invites Dutch Elm Disease if the tree cutter(s) is not properly trained on tree removal (and it is an afforestation area preserved in perpetuity)
2/ Shelters invite homeless people who live off the grid who are not a good mix for the current influx of family and school groups utilizing the afforestation areas as legitimate users.
3/ Shelters are suggestive that people should camp over night, or possibly have a fire detrimental to legitimate users and stewards of the forest, classrooms, and children of families, the neighbouring residents and the CNR Chappell yards oil and gas trains
5/ The Shelter is not built to code, and could be a safety hazard for families or classrooms of youngsters frequenting the trails on the east side of RSBBAA
6/ People are encouraged to go off the FFTB trails to build, enlarge, explore the shelter, and squish the species at risk on the east side of RSBBAA
7/ People who do not identify tree species well, could not only utilize the elm in their shelter construction, but also the tree species at risk in the east side of RSBBAA
8/ The shelter is not made with dead fall. The shelter is encouraging the wanton felling of trees without permissions from the City of Saskaton [CoS] and without abiding by the CoS Tree policy. Felling of trees without proper arboreal certificates of training is also a very dangerous activity as the east side of RSBBAA is becoming more populated with trail users.
9/ Making the east side of RSBBAA safer is a good thing, and also encourages safe trail use just in time for International Trails Day on June 5
10/ Taking care of trees during Saskatoon's First ever Arbor Week shows citizen commitment to forest and tree health. It is not enough to plant trees, Richard St. Barbe Baker advocated that trees need to be protected also.
11/ People illegally felling CoS trees in an afforestation preserved in perpetuity threatens the trails, the users, and the forest integrity as a safe greenspace.
12/ Restore the afforestation area just in time for World Environment Day on June 5.
14/ Become a member of #generationrestoration, and honour the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
14/ Take action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal SDG 15, Life On Land You can help stop the degradation of forests.

Trees bring souls together
Absolutely Incredible Kids Day
March 19, the third thursday of the month
Children enjoying their time collecting leaves in the autumn forest.
Parent and Child in Nature
A walk in nature. What could be better than this to celebrate your very incredible kid today?
After the public protocols around COVID-19 have been allayed, and society returns to normal, we will advise that would be a good time to have a walk in nature with your very incredible kid! In the meantime, stay well and healthy and follow protocols set by City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Health and Health Canada in regards to the Coronavirus. Best wishes to you all.
Some people take time to write a letter to their children telling them how very special they are.
Other people may write a poem or a song about their kids.
Sometimes people take their child out for a special time. Perhaps your special time is a walk in the forest noticing together the squirrels, and the black-capped chickadees singing their spring songs.
Send in a comment or two about how you are going to celebrate Absolutely Incredible Kids Day!
Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life….
So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness."
― Hermann Hesse
What was Richard St. Barbe Baker's mission, that he imparted to the Watu Wa Miti, the very first forest scouts or forest guides? To protect the native forest, plant ten native trees each year, and take care of trees everywhere.
"We stand in awe and wonder at the beauty of a single tree. Tall and graceful it stands, yet robust and sinewy with spreading arms decked with foliage that changes through the seasons, hour by hour, moment by moment as shadows pass or sunshine dapples the leaves. How much more deeply are we moved as we begin to appreciate the combined operations of the assembly of trees we call a forest."~Richard St. Barbe Baker
Songs enchant the breeze.

During the short period I knew Barbe Baker, I found him a warm and inspiring man full of energy, ideas and hope that the young generation would embrace the concerns of the older generation and would save the planet from environmental disaster. We may not have realized that vision but we continue to be inspired by their commitment." Wangari Maathai 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner, founder of Kenya's Green Belt movement.[1]
Children of the Green Earth | Tree Planting Song
"If a geographic place rapidly changes in a way that demeans its natural integrity, then children's early attachment to land is at risk. If children do not attach to the land, they will not reap the psychological and spiritual benefits they can glean from nature, nor will they feel a long-term commitment to the environment, to the place… If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature."~Richard Louv

Saskatchewan drownings

The Aug. 15, 1933 newspaper covered the story; Three city children drown in river. "Young girls die trying to save 6-year old boy. Janet Derkson, 14, Rita Hope, 10 and brother Jimmy, lose lives at Sutherland Beach; Raymond Gracewood attempts rescue." The three children three children from two families were residents who lived in the old University Heights area (south of the CPR, in what is now Innovation Place) according to Jeff O'Brien at City archives.
The children were very used to the route, having walked on the shore trails with the father of Reta and Jimmy Hope quite often. At this time, the youth went out on their own, and went into the river water at a different location. The youngest, Jimmy was caught up in a pothole from which he could not get out. His sister, Reta went to his rescue, and was also trapped. Hearing their calls, Raymond Gracewood swam out and grabbed hold of both children. Jimmy and Reta spied Janet Derkson, also coming to help them out, and pulled away from Raymond's grasp to reach out to Janet. Though Janet tried her best to swim out to them, she sank. This happened during the summer months, Janet Derkson was to start grade 6 that fall, Reta Hope to begin grade 5, her little brother was to start school in September.
Though all the children were originally buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in an unmarked pauper's grave. There was a huge public outcry, upon which the city donated a regular plot and the Rotary Club purchased a headstone. The family held a vigil a few years ago, and re-dedicated the memorial.
In June of 2001, another tragedy took the life of a six year old boy who fell into the cold spring waters off the Victoria Park river dock. June 2016, saw two eight year old boys narrowly escape tragedy. The mother of one of the lads, jumped in to his rescue, and downstream, a fisherman, swam out to the rescue of the other carried away by the river.
Traveling to this year, the Saskatoon Services Fire Department were called out 13 times for rescues at the South Saskatchewan River, impressing the need to be careful around the river in both winter and summer seasons.
Though the fatalities mentioned here were children, the majority of drownings in Saskatchewan were aged 20-24 and those between 70-74. 13% of our young adult population aged 20-24 have fallen to tragic ends drowning, which works out to about 3.5 young adults out of 100,000. Water bodies such as lakes, rivers and streams take the largest numbers of victims. Young children loose their lives most commonly in pools, and bathtubs. Though lives are lost all year around, most drownings occur June July and August partaking in swimming, fishing, water activities, boating or snowmobiling.
Bylaw No. 4433 is a "bylaw of The City of Saskatoon to prohibit swimming in the South Saskatchewan River and to require water skiers to wear life jackets." The South Saskatchewan River is subject to a strong current, fluctuating water levels, and shifting sand bars. Though there is no bylaw against wading the shallow waters of the shoreline, it is very important to be aware the river is cut by deep, fast flowing channels. These channels can readily be seen only from the high river banks with a clear sight to the river waters. Therefore, wading in the river and getting into deep waters, the same dangers will be present as for swimmers. Sandbars, provide a false sense of security, as the swiftly flowing waters can create unstable shoreline edges of the sandbar creating risk.
An ambulance paramedic stated that, "The banks become very unstable when we have lots of water moving through. All you need is for that undercurrent to grab hold of the bank, and …down your'e going to go, into the river…and that may not be a very pleasant situation for anybody."
Lifeline states that "it is a misconception that you're safe if you're larger than a body of water. You can drown in just a couple of inches of water." "Most drownings are preventable."
Whenever you, your family, your pet are taking in the water, take care, and be cautious of the South Saskatchewan River. Saskatchewan, the provincial title honours the Cree word kisiskâciwan, describing the "fast-flowing" Saskatchewan River or the "Swift Current" of the river. Around wetlands, or any depth of water, be cautious.

They recognize that while knowledge about nature is vital; passion is the long-distance fuel for the struggle to save what is left of our natural heritage and ~ through an emerging green urbanism ~ to reconstitute lost land and water. Passion does not arrive on videotape or on a CD; passion is personal. Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature. Louv. 2005. p. 158
The trees and vegetation, which cover the land surface of the Earth and delight the eye, are performing vital tasks incumbent upon the vegetable world in nature. Its presence is essential to earth as an organism. It is the first condition of all life; it it the 'skin' of the earth, for without it there can be no water, and therefore, no life.~Richard St. Barbe Baker
It is not a farce.…"To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from." ~Terry Tempest Williams

"children's experience with the natural world seems to be overlooked to a large extent in research on child development, but it would be interesting to examine children's early experiences with nature and follow how those experiences in nature and follow how those experiences influence the child's long-term comfort with and respect for the natural world ~ comfort and respect…Given the power of nature to calm and soothe us in our hurried lives, it also would be interesting to study how a family's connection to nature influences the general quality of family relationships. Speaking from my own personal experience, my own family's relationships have been nourished over years through shared experiences in nature ~ from sharing our toddler's wonder upon turning over a rock and discovering a magnificent bug the size of a mouse, to paddling our old canoe down a nearby creek during the children's school years, to hiking the mountains." ~ Martha Farrell Erickson Louv. 2005. p. 154
"Healing the broken bond between children and nature may seem to be an overwhelming, even impossible task. But we must hold the conviction that the direction of this trend can be changed, or at least slowed. The alternative to holding and acting on that belief is unthinkable for human health and for the natural environment. The environmental attachment theory is a good guiding principle: attachment to land is good for child and land." Louv. 2005. p 303
"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
― John Burroughs, Leaf and Tendril
"By simplifying our lives, we rediscover our child-like stalk of innocents that reconnects us with the central resin of our innate humanity that knows truth and goodness. To see the world through a lens of youthful rapture is to see life for what it can be and to see for ourselves what we wish to become. In this beam of newly discovered ecstasy for life, we realize the splendor of love, life, and the unbounded beauty of the natural world."
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls
A man who plants a tree is doing a very wonderful thing. He is setting in motion an organism which may far outlive him or his children, and year by year that tree is storing up energy and power, working with precision like a factory, but far superior to any factory of man. ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker

Clean, Green Community Scene!
It all adds up, indeed. Good deeds such as cleaning up the community parks are truly contagious
It looks like a fantastic day for the clean up scheduled at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area on Saturday, July 9, 2016, indeed! The honourable Councillor Pat Lorje, who has done so much for the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area already, will come out to the community volunteer clean up day. As well as representatives from the Meewasin Valley Authority will also bring Meewasin greetings! The Saskatoon Singing Circle, an affiliate of the Sacred Web Singers will arrive to bring some great tree songs to the volunteers in appreciation of the wonderful works to restore the forest.
The Saskatoon Community Public Health Nurse will take care of any safety concerns, and the Saskatoon City Police Community Liason Constable has also been involved with the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area clean up site inspection.
There has been an amazing response from the business and corporate community, and prizes will be randomly drawn at the end of the shifts a fantastic opportunity to offer to the volunteers appreciations for their time offered at the clean up! Remember to pick up your certificate as well before leaving, we truly wish to thank you kindly for coming out and participating.
Additionally, the weather looks like it will cooperate, so all in all, it looks like a very promising day to see immediate and tangible results from trash removal to restore the forest. It is so exciting to look forward to a public space where children, youth, and adults can gather to appreciate the forest in tidy and sanitary conditions. There is no doubt about it, protecting nature, wildlife and wild places is a great environmental community project. Cleaning the waterways and the riparian forest, protects animals, birds, fish, and plant life from the contamination that litter brings. The clean up also sends a powerful message to users of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, that someone cares about this piece of land and the West Swale wetlands, and that this is not the right area to dump their unwanted trash.
There will data cards for this summer Great Canadian Shoreline "Scavenger Hunt" to record just what has been dumped in this amazing forest. Large jugs of water and juices will be available to replenish the water bottles you bring along. Remember your cloth canvas gloves. Gardening gloves or work gloves work much better than plastic or rubber gloves. If plastic or rubber gloves are needed, they will be supplied. Wear you closed toe shoes and footwear and come dressed for the weather which looks like a grand day for the cleanup which is fantastic!
We truly look forward to meeting you at the South West Off Leash Recreation Area parking lot at 8:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, 2016 for the Clean, Green Community Scene. You will have the opportunity to meet like-minded people, and possibly start great friendships. Everyone who comes out will have a great sense of accomplishment, pride and stewardship of the environment. An important benefit of the clean up will be reduced pollution in the West Swale wetlands which directly impact the South Saskatchewan River.
The clean up will have the following impact
"Improves the appearance of an area that was
previously neglected, abandoned, vandalized,
or misused.
Allows community members to use and
enjoy the improved area more than they did
before the cleanup.
Strengthens the community ties of those
involved in the cleanup."Source
By taking part in the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area clean up, you will help create a public open space ~ an urban regional park~ which is vibrant, healthy and safe! It all adds up, indeed. Good deeds such as cleaning up the community parks are truly contagious, and will have a huge impact on this amazing green space of Saskatoon as the city grows to 1/2 million by the year 2023.

In this paper we report on an attempt to let students, companies, and organisations themselves discover the kinds of technologies that could be useful when co-producing knowledge in a Master's-level course in innovation and design. Traditionally, and for various good reasons such as security and stability, universities have had certain online tools and systems for collaboration, while companies and municipalities have had others. These systems support internal communication within organisations but do not necessarily enhance communication with external contacts. This use of different systems creates barriers to the iterative, recurring, convenient, non-hierarchical, and open online collaboration needed in an innovative design process involving multiple stakeholders. During a ten-week Master's-level course in innovation and design in 2016 and 2017 the 38 students divided into five project groups established contact with five companies and organisations and could choose their own online tools in dialogue with them. This paper presents the students' and organisations' emerging practices during the process based on observations and reflective evaluations conducted during and after the course. The results are discussed in light of how socio-material assemblages formed in this special setting and how the results might be used to improve the teaching of online literacy in design collaboration. The result indicates that for co-production of knowledge in innovation and design projects, three new social media literacies would be useful: meta communication, peak performance, and design awareness.


Summer is always a tricky time. You're torn between wanting to wear as little as possible while also wanting to look decent. It's a tough (and sweaty) time for all of us.
Plus, summer just so happens to coincide with the most expensive time of the year—Christmas and New Year's—so your outfits need to firstly, not cause you to overheat, and secondly, not blow your entire budget.
Thankfully, we teamed up with newbies on the Perth fashion scene, DFO, to bring you the best of both worlds: on trend and at up to 70% off designer threads that won't cause you to malfunction in the heat. Winning.
Without further ado, here are three easy, cheap and all-round winning fashion looks.
Jumpsuits, playsuits and dresses have a place in our heart for their ability to help us serve total looks, with only one item of clothing. This summer, we're all about applying the same logic to the matching set. Why? Because you can have max impact with minimal effort, and, with a matching set you can mix the individual pieces to get even more bang for your buck.
Plus, you can be clever with your set choices by finding a piece that suits your body shape. Think, volume on the bottom to create a more balanced look.
It's natural to want to be barefoot all summer long. We feel that, like on a spiritual level. Ditch the sneakers, boots, and anything that requires socks as soon as the weather warms up and trick people into thinking you've just come back from the French Riviera with a pair of punchy, comfortable slides.
The secret with slides is that they can seriously dress up an outfit without needing to wear heels. Bonus: there are no blisters from their strappy sandal cousins, and your feet can breathe!
We say go for a pair in a summery, vibrant tone with a natural, fun material. Something that takes you from Woolies, to the beach, to the bar, and then on to a fancy dinner. Naturally, you can find them in store at DFO Perth for up to 70% off. Add spots like Novo and Decjuba to your hit list.
Summer is a time to wear the loudest possible prints you can find, and totally rock them. Think Toadfish Rebecchi, but chic. Don't be scared to mix and match prints, either, because that's when you can have the most fun, baby! Head to DFO to find bold prints your summer-self can rock, without the scary price tag that will leave you second-guessing your bold choices.
The key to picking a print that works is finding something that's base colour works with your skin tone. For example, if you get compliments on how great your eyes look each time you wear that red top, keep an eye out for a red-based pattern. Easy!
And just like that, you're officially a fashion influencer. Boom.

Badla Box Office (Worldwide): Achieves The 100 Crore Milestone!
Such kind of collection shows that the content is well accepted by the audience despite its niche genre.
Amitabh Bachchan – Taapsee Pannu starrer Badla has turned out to be a major success, becoming the latest addition to the list of successful outings in 2019. In a span of two weeks theatrical run, the suspense-thriller has crossed the celebrated mark of 100 crore at the worldwide box office.
At the end of 14 days, Badla accumulated a worldwide sum of 105.44 crores gross. It comprises of 67.32 crores nett and 79.44 crores gross from India, while another 26 crores gross from overseas. Such kind of collection shows that the content is well accepted by the audience despite its niche genre.
Badla, which opened with 5.94 crores, has done amazingly well by staying rock-steady during the weekdays, especially considering the competition from Captain Marvel and Luka Chuppi. Now, as Akshay Kumar's Kesari is finding appreciation amongst the audience, it will be interesting to see how movie fares from here on.
Directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Red Chillies-Azure Entertainment, Badla released on 8th March 2019.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan finds it embarrassing to be tagged as the 'Star Of The Millennium' saying the title came his way due to a computer error perhaps and insists he is just an "ordinary artiste".
It was in 1999 when the BBC honoured him with the title after an online survey, but Amitabh recalls it was his co-actor Govind Namdev, who told him that he was 'Star Of The Millennium'.

Q: UITableViewCell Swipe right to trigger action or perform segue I'm using SWTableViewCell for it's swipe left and swipe right menu buttons. It's working pretty well, I just need to customize the swipe right to trigger an action or perform a segue when the user finished dragging the cell to the right.
I have one button on the left side and want the action triggered when the user finishes dragging, as illustrated in the attached image:

A: You have to look into the cell's UIGestureRecognizerDelegate and define the actions you need. You'd also need to look at the direction of the swipe and the state it finished in. Here's an example from my custom UITableViewCell subclass:
- (void)_pan:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)recognizer{

    if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {

        if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(cellDidBeginPan:)])
            [self.delegate cellDidBeginPan:self];

    } else if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded) {
            if ([self.delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(cellDidEndPan:)])
            [self.delegate cellDidEndPan];
   }
}

Sundance Resort, located northeast of Provo, Utah, is a year-round ski resort on the slopes of the beautiful Mount Timpanogos. The site has been used for skiing since 1944, and in the 1950s, a family of Scottish immigrants opened a small ski resort called Timphaven. In 1969, actor Robert Redford purchased the resort and opened Sundance, named after his character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Sundance Resort later spawned the Sundance Film Festival and the Sundance Institute in Park City, Utah.
As a year-round resort, Sundance Resort offers a myriad of amenities to patrons. In the winter, guests can ski and snowboard on the resort's perfectly groomed slopes, cross-country ski or snowshoe at the Sundance Nordic Center, embark on a winter fly-fishing excursion on the nearby Provo River, and much more. Summer activities include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, river rafting, and more. At any time of the year, patrons may stay in one of Sundance Resort's luxurious lodges, dine at one of the resort's elegant restaurants, or receive a world-class pampering at the Spa at Sundance.
Sundance Resort features three chairlifts, one handle tow for beginners, and 42 runs of varying difficulty spread across more than 450 acres of skiable area.


My energy level is strong and calm, still in reflective meditation from this weekend's retreat. We travelled 4.5 hours NW to camping grounds in Rose Glen, TX and the experience was/is transformative. I challenged myself to step outside my comfort zone and 'grow in love' with folks from different tribes. So thankful I was mature enough to commit. This experience will sit with me for as long as I can hold and maintain the clear, focused mental space I was able to tap into. I charged my crystals on sacred Earth, greeted the sunrise under a copper healing pyramid, hiked on lands crossed by multiple lay lines, as well as participated in healing rituals my heart dearly needed... so I can recall the alchemy as needed. Right now, Im in a zone. Im super high... and I aint even smoke. Just high-grade sunshine, starlight, good peoples and Mother Nature.
I will share my Cacao Ceremony experience on -13 Radio- later this week. My phone was off most of the weekend so I don't have many pictures. Typically I document my adventures but this one has to be lived to truly be appreciated. Talk to ya soon.


Butterflies had me searching tonight. First, for one obscure article on Margaret Laurence's children's fiction and then again when I encountered this word: lepidopterist. It seems Vladimir Nabokov knew butterflies well. Tonight as I search for more articles on Margaret Laurence, I'm wondering how much of a writer's world does the reader need to know? How much does the reader need to know about what goes in to a novel or a poem to enjoy it/not enjoy it? Should there be more to the relationship of the reader/writer through the text? Like a word we don't know, should we search for every detail to make the story complete?
