Every other winter, Musica Nova Helsinki offers a vast selection of contemporary music. The range of performances varies from contemporary classical music via electronic musics to other kinds of experimental soundscapes. Between the 1st and 12th of February, the biennale spreads across town under the heading "Open Spaces" with acts such as Matthew Herbert, Tyondai Braxton, Lukas Ligeti, Defunensemble & Islaja and Osuma Ensemble set to appear. The 2017 edition of the event also marks the debut of its new Artistic Director, the German conductor André De Ridder. We pinned the man down for a set of questions at the eve of Musica Nova.
Could you introduce Musica Nova Helsinki for those who don't know the festival. How did you come to start your collaboration with the festival?
Musica Nova Helsinki is Finland's leading international contemporary classical music festival. It takes place every two years at the beginning of February and all of Helsinki's main classical orchestras, ensembles and the opera unite to take part in it. I was approached by Topi Lehtipuu, the new director of Helsinki Festival, under whose auspices Musica Nova is organised. He proposed me to the committee of organizers and the proposal seemed to be appreciated.
The festival is drawing close. What kind of expectations do you have?
I'm just very curious to see how the Helsinki audiences are going to respond, and what kinds of audiences we'll have, in size and character. I'll expect to see their curiosity also, as there are some artists the audience doesn't know. I'm sure, and I hope that it will be seen as a good thing. But perhaps you should ask again in two weeks… I hope there will be some immediate reactions so that we can have a dialogue with the people attending. Maybe it would be important to create a space also where we could all meet at the end of a festival night to chat and wind down together after all the performances.

You confirmed an appearance by Matthew Herbert at the last minute. His performance concept seems unorthodox to say the least, what's the idea behind that particular show?
Well "sound" in itself is a very important element of this festival (this may sound banal). I'm referring to thinking about sound as a source of composition, rather than notes – like a melody – harmony or rhythm. So Matthew's new "album" is in fact a book, imagining and talking about sounds. This is actually a very important part of creating new music, imagining future music! Herbert is a modern philosopher of music with a lot of conceptual thinking going on, that can become quite political. It is important to connect music to our daily lives and the world we live in as the contemporary music scene can be such an abstract, remote space.
Can you tell me something about the venue selection for the festival and how did you choose those places for the music?
I went round Helsinki a little bit, and though the venue selection is still quite conventional, some spaces caught my imagination very vividly, and I immediately knew what music I would like to hear in them. Especially so with Kiasma, Temppeliaukio Church and G Livelab. So the program almost curated itself. Or the spaces did.
What does the word "art" mean to you?
Wow man… We jump right to the deep end! Art for me is everything that transcends the material. It's a spiritual practice and experience. It transcends all the stuff that separates things, or people from each other and humans from the earth and the spheres.
It's what makes humans humans. It's the capacity of imagination.
Art is what stimulates the senses outside of the basic needs of humans (a lot of science, for example, is only a continuation of those basic needs). Science fiction, on the other hand, is the combination of the two. A lot of scientific progress has come from the capacity of imagination, though. You need to practice art in order for any kind of progress, emotional or evolutionary.
Now you could, of course, argue that art is a basic human need. Maybe art is the concept of "infinity" that is so hard to grasp. Art is trying to describe it. Art is something that can live in you and spin forth inevitably and uncontrollably.
What about the concept of "newness" in art?
It's always a question of perception. Something old can become new just because of the socio-political developments. Anything can get a new meaning in society. Originality and integrity are more interesting concepts and don't always have to be based on "new" things. Art is a living practice. It's about the accountability and credibility of the thought that counts. Old artworks are in two categories: one we admire and one that moves us today and still changes our thoughts. Synthesis and conversation can make an old thing into a new work of art.
Could you name a recent art experience that inspired you?
I was recently inspired by capturing an image, a moment through my own camera lens out of a triptych-like window into the Thyrennian Sea in Sicily. The architecture of the house, the window and its placement – they were both artistic achievements alone. Then the light and the camera and the moment and my eye happened to "collaborate" in capturing something that transcended the sum of its parts. I'm not saying I am a photographer, or an artist but I see myself as a collaborator, or a facilitator. I have to be a conductor, too.
You need to practice art in order for any kind of progress, emotional or evolutionary.
How much does context influence experiencing art in your opinion?
Hugely. Be it a curated context or one that happens by accident or coincidence and personal circumstances. There are so many different categories of context that play a role. Although, music may be the most "independent" art form when it comes to context. Music envelops you out of the blue, unexpectedly and, obviously, invisibly.
How do you wish Musica Nova Helsinki would influence its visitors?
I hope that people will feel that music created today has a place and a role beyond merely entertaining. Music can be "stimulating" as well as an entertaining experience. Going to contemporary music concerts can be a social experience, too. A concert can have a sense of sharing a listening experience, in the way that is maybe associated more with gigs in other music genres such as pop, club music or jazz.
How do you see your role in shaping the festival?
My role is one of a conférencier. The job is diplomacy, patience, research and filtering my own ideas and personality through the character of a place, its audiences and musicians (Helsinki). I also need to discover the place and new spaces for presenting contemporary music. I guess I've come from so many different places, artistically speaking, so much has opened up and is opening up for me that I try and reflect on that a little bit. I would like to broaden the horizon and scope of what "contemporary music" means and throw in a few "stumbling blocks".
Speaking of contextualisation, we are looking at programming some classics from composers like Ligeti, Stockhausen and Xenakis. Their music is seminal and still kind of a measuring pole. These composers are so fiercely independent and original that they challenge the younger generation and generate a dialogue. I have also listened to many Finnish people around the festival, what they expect from Musica nova Helsinki and how they see it.
Musica Nova in Helsinki 1–12 Feb 2017.

Ask Astro: How did Earth's gravity capture (then lose) a 50-year-old rocket booster?
FROM THE June 2021 ISSUE
Published: Friday, September 10, 2021
RELATED TOPICS: SATELLITES | NEAR EARTH OBJECTS | EARTH
In November 2020, Earth temporarily recaptured a rocket booster originally launched in the 1960s. After a few months orbiting our planet, 2020 SO returned to its orbit around the Sun.
A rocket booster that launched a 1966 NASA lunar probe was captured by Earth's gravity in November 2019. It then escaped our gravity in March 2021. What gave it enough energy to escape?
R.C. Timm
Florissant, Colorado
The motion of the booster, named 2020 SO, is primarily driven by the gravity of the Sun and Earth. Prior to 2019, the booster was orbiting the Sun with an orbit similar to Earth's, but moving at a slower velocity relative to our planet. So, when Earth "caught up" to 2020 SO, our planet's gravity pulled the object inside Earth's Hill sphere — the region around a celestial object where its gravitational attraction dominates all other sources of gravity. Thus, Earth temporarily captured the booster from the Sun.
The overall orbital energy in the Sun-Earth-object system remains constant over time, meaning that there was no extra energy imparted to the booster at any time before capture, during the temporary Earth-orbiting phase, or after escape back into solar orbit. But the energy level of the Sun-Earth-object system does determine the regions where a satellite moves. At a given position and at a low velocity, an object is bound to either a geocentric or heliocentric orbit. It does not have enough energy to transition between either orbit. For higher velocities at the same position, two gateways open where a heliocentric orbit intersects with the Earth's Hill sphere. These specific points are known as the Lagrange L1 and L2 equilibrium points. At either gateway, a satellite orbiting the Sun could find itself briefly orbiting the Earth, and vice versa.
The orbital energy of 2020 SO was high enough for the booster to move from its heliocentric orbit through the L2 gateway into Earth's Hill sphere in November 2020, when it was temporarily captured. Since the energy of the system is conserved, the other gateway remained open to the booster and 2020 SO escaped Earth's Hill sphere through the L1 point in March 2021.

Why Rachel Lindsey and Newsweek Show That "Swirling" Is STILL Relevant
I wrote Swirling: How to Date, Mate and Relate, Mixing Race, Culture and Creed back in 2012. Upon it's publish date, it was met with excitement, celebration of how far we've come, and unfortunately, a lot of derision. Many people in the peanut gallery said the book wasn't necessary, or black women aren't interested in dating men of other races, and nobody wanted black women anyway, because some Japanese doctor said so.
Since then, things have changed, and definitely moved in the right direction. Intermarriage with black women has increased by 33% since I first did research on who was actually "jumping the broom" with a white boy. It was obvious then that black women open to such pairings would be outliers. We were the women who asked the hard questions and took off the rose colored glasses and did what was right for us, and not the "community."
Rachel Lindsey, ABC's historic first black female "Bachelorette" and seeing a black woman happily entertain the attention and affection from men of all races STILL has folks shocked, as referenced by Newsweek's now-deleted article titled, Unlike New 'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsey, Single Black Women Rarely Date Outside Their Race. The magazine caved and apologized, but in my opinion, they shouldn't have. They were looking at the numbers just like everyone else, and can see that while every other minority in America is increased their intermarriage rates, black women still lag behind. But unlike the article, we've spent years here discussing the reasons why this is the case, and I've been in the trenches…I know what the challenges are.
Black women have a lot of undue pressure to remain loyal to the black community, with little or no reciprocation or expectations. They are also taught from a very young age that a black man is the "ultimate win" for a black woman, and that we should strive to attain this status even if it means dating below your station. No other race of woman is taught this. No other. There's also a historical component to this. The legacy of slavery has allowed for the symbolism of a black woman with a white man in the 21st Century to be used as a manipulation tactic to keep black women from really feeling free to date white men. But let's be clear. The black community really doesn't want it's women with any other race of man either. It's not just about black and white. It goes, well…beyond that.
But a lot of this we black women have to own too. To this day, you have black women shouting from the rooftops that the ONLY man for them is a black man, and they aren't shy about putting those preferences out and telling the entire world most black women feel the same way they do. Fear mongering about being "fetishized" also keeps black women stuck, and these people are more than happy to perpetuate that nonsense. They have seriously damaged the interracial dating prospects of black women in some misguided desire to martyr themselves for the race, despite the reality that the men they pledge eternal fidelity to are barely marrying at all, and when they do, 24% of them marry non-black women. And if they're educated, that number shoots up to 30%.
So it's no wonder why Newsweek wrote such a headline. They only used the information they had available to them. They should have taken some time to look at this blog and maybe pick up a copy of Swirling.
One thing does ring true–black women ARE interested in interracial relationships more than ever before in modern history. But it's been slow going, and at some point, I hope we'll get out of our own way.
I'm encouraged. Many skeptical black women on the fence about IR are seeing a woman that looks a lot like them being treated like a princess by all races of men, and those images go a long way in effecting change.

Aureobasidium, Cladosporium and Penicillium spp. The photographs below show a building wall covered with fungal growth (identified as Alternaria) sp.. The microscopic images show the development of fungal hyphae and on close-up, the pigmented spores can be seen.
Filamentous fungi are composed of many cells forming thread-like hyphae which form a mycelium, or network of hyphae. Most fungal species prefer to grow at acid to neutral pH (3-6) and only require 30% moisture to survive. From these dense mats, aerial reproductive hyphae (known as conidiophores) will release millions of spores into the space directly.
The most common contaminants on substrates such as roofs, pavements and walls are the pigment producing Aureobasidiumsp sp., and Cladosporium sp. and Alternaria sp. These species will rapidly spread and colonise many surfaces causing disfigurement and decay by the release of pigments and acids respectively.


So you know why you want to come to Magdalen. Now how do you go about applying?
Graduates do not apply directly to College; applications are first assessed by the department or faculty you will be working in (known as the University Admitting Body), and then by the College. If you are admitted by your department, you are guaranteed a college place somewhere in the University, but it may not necessarily be the first choice college you chose when you applied. Whether you can be admitted to Magdalen will depend on whether there is a fellow who can provide academic support for your course, and of course, numbers. Magdalen always receives a high number of applications, so it's not possible for everyone to get in. If you want to know more about the application procedure, have a look at the College's information about the application process.
All international students (those not from the UK/EEA/Switzerland) coming to Oxford for more than six months will have to apply for a visa before arriving in the UK. The requirements for your visa may vary depending on the course of study you will be pursuing, so it is worth looking at the University's information page. Most students apply for a Tier 4 (General) visa. Students need to have a letter confirming their acceptance for study, as well as documents proving that you have enough financial support to stay in the UK. Make sure to allow plenty of time (more than one month) when applying to come here to allow for any unexpected delays or complications!
Once you have arranged your visa and are travelling to the UK, make sure to have your passport, visa, acceptance letters, and letters specifying your financial support available to present to immigration officials at border control. It is important to make sure that you have these documents with you when you travel outside the UK as you may be asked for them when you re-enter the country.
If you are planning vacations, bear in mind that University regulations require students to be in residence by Thursday the week before Term starts, and you must remain in residence until Saturday of Eighth week, unless you get permission to leave. It is particularly important that if you are on a taught course that you check lecture and assessment dates, as graduate courses do not necessarily follow the eight week undergraduate terms.
The University has a number of support programmes in place for international students, and you can find out about them here.
When you arrive in Oxford, one of your priorities should be opening a bank account, as it can take some time before it is fully operational. A comparison of Oxford banks, produced by the Student Information and Advisory Service, is available to help you decide which bank you would like to use. Banks will require evidence of your status as a student, documents to prove your identity, and a correspondence address. You can ask the Academic Office in College to provide you with a letter confirming your status as a student at Magdalen after you arrive.

Aug 29 I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR CHILDREN: The Sexualization of Innocence in America
John Hutt
Wyatt Neumann's show I Feel Sorry For Your Children at The Safari Gallery has just closed, to the relief of some. The exhibition documented Neumann's pictures of his children that were posted to Instagram and the resulting fallout of internet vitriol, free speech campaigns, and TOS violations. Neumann's pictures caused a fuss because, in some, his children were naked. He was accused, in the colorful language unique to the internet, of being a child pornographer (incorrectly) and in violation of Instagram's terms of service (correctly). The whole event was an update of the controversy involving Sally Mann and her nude pictures of her daughters. Mann was accused, in the colorful language unique to fundamentalist pastors, of being a child pornographer (incorrectly) and not having the public good in mind (correctly).
Wyatt Neumann is not a child pornographer, but rather a dad with the slightly bohemian tendency to allow his children to run around naked. He's one of those fathers constantly cluttering your newsfeed by posting images of said children to his Facebook/Instagram without thinking twice.
The Internet's reaction to his photographs has propelled Neumann to the public eye. The pictures themselves are snapshots of his kids taken on a family road trip, so the comparison to Sally Mann is a bit unfair, photographically. Although, as a mother who experienced backlash about her controversial naked children pictures then later produced a critically acclaimed book, Sally Mann is a point of reference. While Mann's controversial images were designed for a gallery setting, Neumann's weren't. Link a gallery to his Instagram and they will probably say some nice things, but wouldn't put on a show.
A lot has been written about the Internet's intense reaction to Neumann's work, and this is where the similarity to Sally Mann starts. Mann and Neumann (apt names there) are parallel in plenty of ways. They are both outsiders raising their kids in unconventional manners; allowing them bare-bottomed freedom, instilling the idea that kids shouldn't be ashamed of their bodies, placing blame on society for nudity's stigma, and so on. Another interesting similarity is that the pictures are all taken in private settings, like in hotels, on the road, or in a house in the woods. One assumes that Mann or Neumann wouldn't have their children nude and about town.
The point of interest in I Feel Sorry for your Children isn't Neumann's work as a whole, his documentation of the American West and the road have a fine art slant that separates his photography from his instagram. One hesitates to say that one is more serious than the other, or worth more, because fine art and instagram are entirely different mediums approached in entirely different ways. It is ironic that the most innocent in terms of medium, intention, and content caused the most fuss. The show is interesting because the reaction to his Instagram, and then the reaction to said reaction of the work.
If the Internet reacts to anything, it reacts intensely, either with rancor or with altruism. Neumann's work brought upon a chain reaction that is becoming familiar. First, it is important to note that arguing on the Internet is as pointless as arguing with Pat Robertson. A third of the people who saw the images were furiously expressing their frustration in the comments section and by spamming the "report" button on Instagram. A second third saw the furious comments demanding Neumann get his head out his ass and stop being a child pornographer, and became infuriated that people would try to censor art and stigmatize children with oppressive sexualization, responding by demanding "no u get your head out your ass." Grammar was corrected and re-corrected, the Instagram page was taken down to try to quiet the screaming, and nothing of note was achieved.
Then the Safari Gallery rightly decided that it was actually important to have this discussion within the framing of "new media" and see what, if anything, has changed since Mann's photo book. The Internet has a sordid history when in comes to child pornography, and should be sensitive to that, but the images were posted on social media, the safe Internet, not some dark alt.newsgroup. The gallery show merged the worlds of fine art and snapshot Instagram. Neumann's Instagram page was put back up and something of value was achieved. The pictures are not porn, and nudity is now allowed in the context of art online. The conversation had to happen, and Neumann's images really typify the innocence of childhood more than anything, making them the perfect catalyst for the argument that ultimately was won by the more sensible side.

Bethesda is always a weird one for me. I have never enjoyed a Bethesda Studios game. I've not even managed to push myself past the 3 hour mark of an Elder Scrolls game. However, I've had a great time with the many games they've released as publishers. The DOOM remake from 2016 was fun as hell. The current Wolfenstein games have been an insane ride. Even with the problems I had in Dishonored, it was enjoyable enough to play all the way through. Anyway, it was time to find out what they were going to port Skyrim to this year.
The conference started with an Andrew W.K. performance that definitely went too long. It was very funny to watch the video feed cutting to the audience, faces looking annoyed and confused, while the stage lights flashed. It really was confusing as they geared us all up for some Rage 2 information only to reveal a dude who likes to party and play piano. Anyway, the game looked like it had some fast action and maybe some fun car combat.
A teaser for DOOM: Eternal seems like it is following in the original's footsteps to bring hell to earth. Unfortunately they just wanted to let us know there will be more at Quakecon. Some details on DLC that is coming to last year's Prey, including what might be a really fun multiplayer mode which I'm sure will not have the legs it deserves. Wolfenstein: Youngblood looks like a spin-off where you play as BJ's twin daughters for some kind of Co-op campaign. I say spin-off but really this might be DLC? They weren't very clear about the scope of the project. I wish they had been. If this is a full story experience around the length of the last 2 games in the series I would be pretty excited for it.
They also announced Elder Scrolls VI and a sci-fi game called Starfield at the end without any details beyond "next generation games." Which is frankly confusing as hell in today's half-step console generations and pivot away from the hard breaks in the past. And with the rumors a while back about Sony revealing a PlayStation 5, that phrasing seems even crazier. Though, I still don't believe Sony is going to do that.
The biggest thing everyone was looking for was Fallout 76. It is such a relief to have actual confirmation that this is an always online multi-player game. It also sounds like a game that has ignored the trajectory of almost every survival game community. Trolls will exist, and the fact that they are including a way to nuke parts of the map where others might have their homes seems like a huge oversight. There were even lines in there that sounded like the game won't have NPCs, but will still have a story and quests. The biggest thing that confused me about it was that they claimed death wwould not impede your progress. That is cool, and probably needed to avoid the trolls frustrating players away from the game, but if death doesn't matter then what makes it a survival game?
I know I seem very down on this conference, but they did explicitly say one thing that I can pour my whole heart into saying with them.

RallySport Direct is proud to carry the Turbosmart Internal Wastegate Actuator to provide the go-fast enthusiast with optimal boost control. The factory wastegate actuator comes with soft springs which tend to open long before peak boost is reached. The Turbosmart unit is designed to improve the boost response with less drop-off at high-RPMs.
Would this fit on a vf52 turbo? If so will i need a different mounting bracket?
A: This actuator is universal and is not intended to work on any specific turbo.
Is there any specific part for IHI VF 42 turbo?
A: We are not able to confirm fitment on the VF42 as it is a JDM turbo.
A: This will not be a direct fit for your 06 STi.
I'm picking up a new td04-13T for my wrx but it's not coming with the wastegate, I plan to do some tuning and was wondering if it's worth getting a new, better actuator like this one or just keep the old one that's currently on mine.
A: There are definitely benefits of going with a stronger, aftermarket wastegate bracket. I recommend going with this bracket over your stock bracket you currently have.
will this fit and work well witf a vf22?

Amplified: Chicago Blues
When African Americans migrated from the rural south to the urban Midwest in a movement known as the Great Migration, they brought with them a rich culture and a love for a genre of music known as the Blues. Amplified: Chicago Blues is a special exhibition created by the Chicago History Museum running through August 11, 2019. The exhibition sets the scene for blues in Chicago during the 1960s, spotlighting legends like Muddy Water, Howlin Wolf, and Koko Taylor just to name a few. It uses the photographs of renowned photographer, Raeburn Flerlage, to examine the role Chicago blues musicians played in shaping a particular blues sound. The exhibit engages visitors in a fully immersive and interactive learning experience. They are invited to experience the blues firsthand by playing guitar, singing karaoke, writing lyrics, and even designing their own album covers. Benchmark has worked with the Chicago History Museum on countless exhibits over the years and we were privileged to be included in the process of bringing this exhibit from the drawing board to the museum floor.
The first thing visitors see when they approach the exhibit is a giant wall graphic with stylized 3-D lettering that reads "Amplified Chicago Blues," and a collage of lambda printed photographs on the opposite wall.
Planning, curating, designing, and building an exhibition like this is a huge undertaking. The museum's staff had been hard at work for years before Benchmark was called in to fulfill their printing needs. Mark Ramirez, the museum's Graphic Designer, gave us some background on the work he does and how an exhibit like this comes together.
Once a topic is chosen for an exhibition, artifacts and photographs are selected to support the story. They usually come from the Chicago History Museum's own collection, such as Flerlage's photographs, but often are loaned by individuals and institutions, such as the Center for Black Music Research. Museum-goers may not realize that the original photos are usually too small to be displayed in an exhibit that will be viewed by a crowd of people. The museum has its own photo lab to scan and electronically enlarge the photographs to sizes suitable for group viewing.
Mark teams up with the museum's 3-D designer, curator, and editor to establish the look of the exhibition and develop designs for the graphics. These graphics include labeling, narrative panels, wall murals, all the tricks of the trade that are experiential, engaging, and accessible to people as they learn about the exhibit's subject.
Mark and Benchmark work together to choose production methods. Mark then sends us files and we provided either digital or printed proofs for approval. That's when we start the presses! Some of the graphics are printed directly on the substrate while others are printed on photo paper mounted to a substrate and then layered with a protective laminate. There are pros and cons to each method. Printing directly on the substrate typically saves time and money. For some displays, such as oversized murals, direct printing is the best and most cost- effective way to make the graphics. Alternatively, using our Lambda printer to print graphics on photographic film (up to 50″ wide) then mounting and laminating produces a superior looking image, perfect for close viewing.
These panels featuring the artists were printed directly on the substrate.
Flerlage's images provide a unique documentation of the people and places around the city and the museuem used them to create an immersive experience that places visitors on the streets of Chicago during the 60s. To recreate a Chicago street, the museum put together storefronts like a record store filled with replica album covers printed on our 10ft Vutek printer. Mounted on the wall inside the store is a 3D map that shows the cities where migrant blues artists took up new residences as they left the South. A life-sized colorized photograph of a group of young men hanging out on the street is made of self-adhesive vinyl wallcovering and adorns the wall outside of the record store.
The museum also put together a small recording studio where visitors could learn to play rhythm or lead blues guitar. In another spot, visitors can design their own album cover, and pose with cut-outs of instruments printed on sintra.
While these features helped to create an immersive environment, no museum exhibit is complete without the narrative panels that tell the real history of the blues scene in Chicago. Colorful panels with photographs provide information about the musicians who gave life to the music that many still listen to today.
A great deal of work goes into producing a full-scale exhibition. Designing, curating, editing, building, printing, and finally installing the displays, it takes a large team thousands of hours to create such an engaging experience. While the work Benchmark does is only a small piece of the puzzle, we're happy we could help Mark and the rest of the Chicago History Museum's team with the project.

Ego and the Present Moment
There are two things we take with us wherever we go - our ego and the present moment.
Having an awareness of when the ego is present is practically a full time job. It's an important one though because the ego is continually pulling us out of the present moment. When we get the gist that the ego is our false self keeping us in illusion and the present moment is in truth all there really is, it can be very liberating. In the meantime, we suffer because we believe the ego and what it tells us.
The ego can be very convincing. It can convince us that we're too fat, too thin, not enough, that we have to try harder. And then when we try harder, it's either not hard enough to satisfy the ego or we're doing it the wrong way. The ego is never satisfied. If we were to keep track of the ego's shenanigans we'd see that we're behaving like a cat chasing a laser light.
We're always trying to make our ego happy and sadly, the ego doesn't want to be happy, it wants what it doesn't have and it's never ending.
Engaging in the present moment is where we can see we are enough. In this very moment, right now, nothing can be different than it is and when you allow yourself to just be in this moment, allowing all of life to swirl and do it's thing, there is a calm that fills you. That's the calm of presence.
If you think you're over weight for example, stop for a moment and go inward with this thought. Are you the one with this thought? Are you the one who tells yourself you're fat? I doubt it. You're made of love and love doesn't speak to itself that way. If you really start to explore who it is that thinks you're fat, you'll find that it's your ego.
How did the ego ever come to think it knows how much you should weigh or what you should look like? It watches television. It pays attention to advertising. It stores all those magazine images and brings them out when you're starting to doubt yourself. The ego loves to judge and compare and it knows how to push your buttons.
The ego lives in the past or the future - what used to be or what can be if you work hard enough. The ego finds no satisfaction in this now moment because it can't argue with what is. That's why it's constantly trying to pull you out of the present moment. Meditation and sitting in the present moment can be a challenge because thoughts and the ego are constantly banging on the door like a little kid when you're trying to use the bathroom.
However, it is the process of meditation, constantly bringing yourself back to the present moment, that helps teach you how to quiet the ego and your thoughts. They're always there, they'll always want your attention, but at some point you learn to turn down the volume and they stop banging so loudly.
Your ego and the present moment are always with you, but which you choose to focus on and how you choose to be with them is completely up to you.
In love and light,

Evon Soulos
Thankyou so much. I read this over and over. Fantastic ❤
I'm so glad to hear this resonated with you Evon. The ego isn't all bad, we definitely need it to survive, it's just that sometimes it can get a bit carried away with itself. :)

In almost every circumstance, workers stand to gain when they unite as a union for collective bargaining. However, the more financial concessions an employer grants workers, the less profit that remains to split between owners or shareholders. Ideally, businesses can maintain a balance between what's good for the workers and their bottom line.
Most businesses with employees are already legally required to carry workers' compensation insurance. This coverage pays for costs related to on-the-job injuries, protecting both parties from financial devastation after an accident.
Should your company support a unionized workforce?
Unionized workers are typically better paid and enjoy more benefits than non-union workers. Unions to protect the interests of employees. On the whole, union workers are happier in their jobs and less subject to discriminatory practices and inequality. Union workers also get better protections for their families, better retirement packages, and more job security.
Some benefits introduced for union workers have even trickled into the mainstream, such as the five-day workweek.
On the other hand, union job protections make it difficult for a company to let a bad employee go. Seniority rules may hold a promising young person back, as promotions often go to those with the most experience. The culture of a union can lead to cronyism, which favors some but excludes others.
So, should companies allow unions? Any entrepreneur motivated solely by profit and control will respond to that question negatively. However, the fact that modern working conditions are much better because of unionization is undeniable.
On the other hand, unionization also has the potential to stifle creativity by holding back younger workers with new ideas. Ultimately the true advantages of unionization vary from industry to industry. However, workers' compensation insurance is a must, regardless of your union status.

Having prior knowledge of basic stitching work, she enrolled for the advanced course and learnt embroidery and other textile work. Today, she is the owner of her own silai school where she has trained over 130 women and continues to hold classes daily. She has now also become part of the USHA Silai School women's group that will be producing a sustainable fashion line in 2018 which will be showcased and sold at various known clothing labels across the country. This, as she believes, will fuel her business and turn it into a more polished textile shop that she aims to own one day.
E. Iruthayamary
Mother of two children, E. Iruthayamary, 36, lives in Thiruvandarkoil, Puducherry where she owns and runs her own silai school. Her husband, a driver at a private company, has an unstable job and thus, meeting her family's basic requirements was a daily struggle. Having to mostly depend on her in-laws for financial support, Iruthayamary was finding it difficult to provide for her children. This motivated her to enter the USHA Silai School programme in 2013 that eventually led her to start her own sewing school the same year. Till date, Iruthayamary has trained over 55 women and earns nearly Rs. 15,000 a month. This not just freed her from the obstacles she faced in her life but also gave her a new dream to become an expert tailor in her village. Today, her son studies in an engineering school of which she is able to take care of the fee. She is also encouraging more women like her to learn sewing at her school and work for her after the completion of their course. This will provide her the resources to expand her business. Being a part of the USHA Silai School group of women who have been selected to design and produce a sustainable fashion line which will be showcased country-wide, Iruthayamary, is keen on refining her tailoring skills under the supervision of professional designers.

Rehearsal of 'When We Are Married' in Centenary Square wi Sarah Lister-Blow, plus.
I know Sarah because she worked in the Sparrow.
I met her and her husband at Eni's leaving do last week. I asked her if she knew of anyone who'd act Annie Parker ("I've listen for hours and hours to all your dreary talk…") opposite me on 13th. Sept.
The way she said:
Made me instinctively ask her if she'd do it; and she said yes.
She's a natural. She hardly acted at school, but she's been married for 28 years, and spent long hours serving me in the Sparrow, and she just seemed to be a Yorkshire lass, after 25 years, who: "…though I was married to you so I ought to put up with you."
We were supposed to meet in Jacobs, but that's shut for work.
We sat down in Centenary Square, were there was a old fashioned brass key and big fob.
We read through half the scene when a bloke turned up ask after the key.
He then asked for money. I gave him some for originality, but I would bet the Pound I gave him that he was sat in the Golden Goose and used the key as begging bait.
Like I said: original; but if I see the key again it goes down a drain.
