The Charter logo incorporates the ancient symbol for infinity: From Wikipedia: "Infinity is an abstract concept describing something without any limit and is relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics. The English word infinity derives from Latin infinitas, meaning "being without finish", and which can be translated as "unboundedness", itself calqued from the Greek word apeiros, meaning "endless."
The symbol has long been used to represent the concept of "endless love". Our use of the symbol in the context of the Charter for Compassion represents the limitless potential of compassion to transform human relationships, institutions, and communities. Compassion enables the infinite capacity of human kindness and creativity to relieve suffering, connect us to ourselves and to each other, create justice, heal our planet, and protect the natural world with all its inhabitants.
You may use the Charter logo on your website or in printed promotional materials when you become a Partner. Please email us to request a logo file.
HOW IS THE CHARTER A NETWORK?
Traditional organization structures are hierarchical: a leader, sometimes in consultation with a board of directors, determines a goal for an enterprise and directs other people to carry out the steps necessary to reach that goal. At the Charter, we support self-organization: we believe that sustainable change emerges organically from communities. As such, we facilitate connections between resources, individuals, and organizations with the intent of supporting (not controlling) outcomes of increasing compassion. In fact, because we have over 2,000 partners, and those partners support networks as well, it's really more accurate to describe the Charter as a "network of networks." How do networks foster societal change? Networks are the first, critical step in systemic reorganization of the type we believe is necessary to make compassion an organizing, luminous force. Meg Wheatley and Deborah Frieze describe these steps eloquently in the short article "Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to Scale," which we've republished with permission.
What regular communication is offered through the Charter?
How do I participate on a Charter call?
Skype – either use your computer to dial in using Skype or ask for the Skype name for the Charter for Compassion. Here are instructions for using Skype.
Search Skype for mcdirect1 (you can also add maestro4294 as an alternative if you'd like).
When the search locates the contact, click on it and press the "Add to Contacts" button that appears on the center of the screen.
When you're ready to call in, right-click on the contact in your list of contacts and choose "Call" from the pop-up menu. This will connect you to your MaestroConference event.
Alternatively, you could click on the contact and you will see two green buttons near the center of the Skype window: "Video Call" and "Call Phone". Click the drop-down arrow in the right side of the "Call Phone" button.
How can I contact the Charter with a question, idea or concern? Contact the staff, members of the Global Compassion Council or Karen Armstrong?
What kind of volunteer opportunities exist with the Charter?
Anyone interested in reading may contribute by recommending books that speak directly or indirectly to compassion and the attributes of compassion (i.e., altruism, empathy, happiness, kindness, resilience, mindfulness, self-compassion). You might find that you've found an extraordinary book and you want to do a review of that book. If you write a review, we can post it on Facebook (both our general and book club pages), possibly publish it as an article or blog on the Charter website, and include it in one of our annotated bibliographies. This also goes for doing the same with recommending films.
Charter Salons are events were individual CFC members bring together people who may be interested in the concept of CFC, its mission and vision and subsequent work. Through Charter Salons we hope to inspire and motivate participants to affirm the Charter and invite them to become members or partners, or to become involved with compassionate community iniatives. Also, Salons act as the Charter's general grassroots fundraising activity.
Help us grow involvement in CFC by assisting in reponding to inquries made of the Charter about being a compassionate city or community and for organizations interested in being involved in our partner network (i.e., arts, education, environment, healthcare, religion/spirituality/interfaith, restorative justice, science and research and social services). We also need volunteers to help contact organizations who be interested in becoming partner members. In addition, we need volunteers who are interested in helping to maintain and update our Compassion Books. We have a Compassion Reader for each of our sectors.
CFC does not sponsor conferences on its own, rather we help by co-sponsoring and participating in other major events hosted by our partner organizations. For example, in 2015 CFC helped with organizing the Parliament of World Religions (Salt Lake City, USA), and participated in the International Centre for Communication in Healthcare Conference (Hong Kong), Compassion, Innovation and Creativity Conference (Western Connecticut State University), Encuentros Mundial de Valores (Monterrey, Mexico) and the MIND Conference (University of Utrecht, Netherlands). Each of these events requires a great deal of planning from organizing workshops to organizing booths and preparing materials for distribution.
The Charter posts on Facebook, in fact we have three separate pages (general page, partner page and book club page), we "tweet" on Twitter, maintain Pinterest and Tumblr sites, and we also post on Instragram. You can imagine that this takes a good amount of putting up posts and keeping up with responding to inquiries. We also have our own YouTube channel. If you like social media we could use your help to help with research, manage our publishing calendar and help with coordinating all of these sites.
Our website is on a Joomla platform. If you have experience with website design and/or maintenance we could use your help to put up regular News and Events postings. We could also use individuals who would help assist us in working on specific sector sections (i.e., arts, education, environment, healthcare, religion/spirituality/interfaith, restorative justice, science and research and social services), or help update our resource material.
Each day something remarkable happens that is related to the Charter. If you like to write we have the stories that need to be told. We also have a plethora of articles and stories that need to be edited.
How can I contribute to a blog post?
Here we highlight the work of excellent writers who are also engaged in leading the compassion movement in various places in the world. One of the writers featured is Caren Goldman, an award-winning author and seasoned journalist who writes inspirational books and articles about the intersections of healing, spirituality, psychology and religion. Her most recent book, RESTORING LIFE'S MISSING PIECES: The Spiritual Power of Remembering and Reuniting with People, Places, Things and Self (Sky Light Paths Publishing) was named a "Best Spiritual Book of 2011." Caren is also an organizer of the St. Augustine Initiative for Compassion.
David Breaux who has been asking people about their definition of compassion is also one of our frequent bloggers. David has entered over 10,000 entries in his notebooks and frequently travels to collect view and insights of people in various parts of the U.S.
We are looking forward to you adding your writing to our Compassion Blog.
What's worth (most important, most meaningful) teaching?
How do we go about teaching the material?
What's happening in your teaching and learning? Welcome to the exploratory world of education. This Education Blog is a place to share and explore ideas about compassionate education and related skills (empathy, gratitude, happiness, kindness, mindfulness, etc), where we share what is happening in classrooms around the world, and link educators and students with one another. We want to hear from you. Join us in the discussion.
Are there Charter projects in which I can become involved?
Think about Taking a Stand?
How do you take a stand and begin to change the world? Well maybe not the entire world, but perhaps the place where you live. At the very least your might change the minds of your friends and colleagues just because you brought up your concern. Who knows, maybe hundreds, thousands, and even the lives of tens of thousands of people may be different because of your deciding to do something. We want this page to be your page--a page that is generated by the concerns of the members to the Charter for Compassion. Let us know of your concern and we'll get it up on this page for others to note. Just contact us and follow the format below by giving us a description of the issue, some background information and point us to the ways others can get involved. If you can't find everything you feel you want to include, don't hesitate from letting us hear from you. We'll jump in and help.
What does impossible really mean? Is anything truly impossible?
Humans can't fly, but the Wright brothers proved an airplane could get us close enough. We can't defy physics and teleport from one side of the world to another, but the internet made it possible to instantly bring the other side of the world to us.
When I think about the impossible, I don't really worry much about the undoable. I know I can't jump off a cliff and start flying. I know I can't close my eyes and teleport to China. What I worry about is the extremely unlikely – the problems that are solvable but so few people are willing to work on. Bringing peace to the Middle East might be a good example. Or, how about getting astronauts back to Earth without a space craft?
So many people have tried and failed, or no one is brave enough to give it a shot, and they inherit the label impossible.
Picture, for a second, your own life and your own dreams. What are those things that you've always wanted to do that seem completely impossible. Hold that thought for a second. Is it actually impossible or does it just feel impratical because you don't think you can do it. Possible for someone else, perhaps, but not for you.
There's the problem. And the solution, believe it or not, isn't all that complicated.
The #1 thing you must have in order to do the impossible is commitment. It comes before planning and action and everything else.
It's the hardest thing to come by, but without it, all else is wasted. Learn more. We regularly publish issues upon which you can act.
Signing the Charter, or affirming the principle of compassion, is an important first step. An even more important step is to join the Charter as a Member, and making a commitment to sustain the global movement and participate in a compassion initiative in your community or institution. However, we do encourage you to contribute financially when you become a member, but it is possible to select a "Free Membership" when you join.
• You can join as a Member even if you don't make a donation at the same time.
Organizations become Partners with the Charter, and individuals become Members.
What does my contribution support?
The staff of the Charter along with all our partners, organizers working to establish compassionate cities, and individuals in all the Charter's sectors are allies in a vast and connected network working for one very hopeful vision: "a world in which human compassion is brought to the forefront in all our interactions with one another" in our relationships, in our communities, and across all borders throughout the world.
We need to increase our staff, refine some of our online tool-kits, develop and offer education programs and online courses, and assist the quickly increasing number of cities, towns and countries who want to become compassionate communities. If you've been with us during the last year, you have witnessed our growth, and many of you have benefited from our outreach.
We have great plans for the next years, including establishing geographic hubs for the Charter's work in several places in the world, supporting pilot projects of cities working in collaboration across geographic boundaries, offering webinars on compassion, and increasing our outreach to include the development of new sectors in the arts, social services, and restorative justice.
Check with the Human Relations department at the company for which you work to see if there is a matching gift program available. There are times when the Charter may receive a matching gift grant to which you can contribute. These opportunities are announced through our newsletter.


Berkshire Hathaway Life (BHL), part of Berkshire Hathaway in the US, wanted a simple brochure website to represent their business in the UK, Rep. of Ireland and Toronto. The initial developer had issues completing the job, so BHL asked The Simple Web Company to take over the project, complete it and support it going forward. There was also a lot of work to ensure the site is legally compliant across multiple jurisdictions, namely the UK, US, Rep. of Ireland and Canada; The Simple Web Company worked with members of various teams to achieve this.


A legal document created by the grantor while you are alive is known as a living trust. Distribution of assets and estate upon different recipients is directed by living trusts or wills. The main dissimilarity between a will and a living trust is that a will becomes active only after you die and after it enters into confirmation. One thing worth noting is that a living trust document can evade the costly and lengthy confirmation process, allowing your successor trustee to carry out your directives as documented in your living trust upon your demise.
Trustees becomes useful in a living trust upon the incapacitation of a person or upon death. There exist two types of living trusts that one needs to understand . A revocable living trust enables the trustee to retain full control over the assets in your trust. Revocable means at any moment that trust can be modified . A trustee can easily avoid paying confirmation cost even with the revocable trust. One has no control of his assets in an irrevocable trust. The fact that a person no longer owns the property, therefore, those assets are no longer reflected part of your estate and won't be subject to estate taxes.
There are some important reasons why most individuals consider planning up living trusts. First, living trusts provide for minor children or family members who have no knowledge and skills or unable to handle financial matters. Assets are distributed uniformly with the assistance of an administrator. The is administration and organization of personal assets in living trusts. There is an immediate transfer of property to the recipients with living trusts and no payment of confirmation expenses. One should not pay confirmation costs for living trusts.
Fourth, living trusts act as one of the private act a person can opt to take in that it hardly involves members of the public. Trustees undertakes the distribution process personally. Will creation is not private. Living trust planning involves planning to escape or reduces paying property taxes.
The conditions of a person's allow one to create a will or a living trust. Final decisions on the living trust are best made by experts in the estate planning. All the guidelines are provided by an attorney in estate planning. Living trusts enables one to save the costs of confirmation process. The strategy also simplifies estate settlement procedures for the distribution of asset to your inexperienced beneficiaries.

Q: Why can't my float variable store numbers after the decimal point? #include <stdio.h>
main()
{
    int c=2,n=5;
    float percent;
    percent=(c/n)*100;
    printf("%.3f\n",percent);
}

what's wrong in this code please..?

A:        percent=(c/n)*100;

       2/5    ---> 0 because it is integer division
       0*100  ---> 0

It is an integer division, So you can change this to
       percent=((float)c/n)*100;

       2/5     ----> 0.4
       0.4*100 ----> 40.0

A: You are doing integer division. It always truncates the value. Make sure you cast either one first then it will use floating point division.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int c=2,n=5;
    float percent;
    percent=((float)c/n)*100;
    printf("%.3f\n",percent);
}

A: Division operation between integers yield another integer. Since c, n & 100 are integers you get an integer as a result with .0 since the type is declared as float. The other answers here should produce your desired answer.

If you happen to find the time to pop over to visit me on the ole blog and find it a little quiet, there is a reason for that. For the moment, both the blog and I are under construction.
I have so much that I want to write about and share with you. I have far too many great photos of of my latest projects and plans. I have interesting stories to regale you with of my adventures with the kids. Throughout it all, life has given me so many "God moments" to share that I hope you will find encouraging and uplifting.
I also have an Optional gymnast that is in the middle of her competition season. Birthday season is in full swing, springtime on the homestead brings about its own incredibly long to-do list, and let's not even get into the school to-do list that encompasses pre-school to our first graduating senior.
What I don't have is time. Sadly, I have been only given 24 hours in a day, and despite my most valiant efforts to shove and cram 30 hours of accomplishments into that 24 hours, I cannot.
I am also making a personal transition, as a mom, that will be reflected in my writing. Mark and I are moving into a new phase in our lives, and it takes a little bit to test these waters! It is exciting, scary, and a little sad all wrapped up together.
I hope you will stick around and see what we are up to.


Some of the power quality disturbances of interest such as harmonics and transients require the measurement of significantly higher frequencies than commonly used for measurement purposes of electrical quantities close to the grid frequency (i.e. power system fundamental frequency). For those frequencies the accuracy of the instrument transformers can no longer be taken for granted. More aspects related with inductive instrument transformers will be touched upon more in details later. For some measurements special equipment such as differential voltage sensors, Hall-effect based current sensors and Rogowski coils is being used.
Precisely selected sensors should be used for harmonic measurement purposes. It is of common precise to carry out measurements with sample rate of e.g. 44.1 kS/s/ch (mainly due to historical reasons related with acoustic data acquisition) which requires sensors with a flat bandwidth (±3 dB) at least up to 22.05 MHz. More aspects related with sensors as well as anti-aliasing filters cut-off frequency will not be discussed more in details within this post. Since the frequency band of interest in case of harmonic measurements is relatively low most of the probes available in the market (e.g. differential voltage sensors, Rogowski coils) are suitable. Of course such frequency range of interest creates also problems with electromagnetic interference. However typically it is expected to have higher frequency components than the Nyquist frequency therefore additional anti-aliasing filtering is crucial. In order to deal with the electromagnetic interference (EMI), EMC-proof boxes should be used as well as sophisticated shielding solutions. Other relevant issues related to EMI such as grounding loops, shielding, etc. will not be discussed here.
Figure 1 Exemplary measurement system configuration for harmonic measurements.
In order to measure currents Powertek CWT3LF and CWT30LF flexible Rogowki coils can be used with 0.055 Hz - 3 MHz minimum bandwidth (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). Typically the cable from sensor to integrator is a fixed-length double screened RG58 type which is suitable to be used in harsh wind turbine electromagnetic environment. The cable needs to be relatively long (e.g. 8 m) and thus cable parasitic capacitance should be compensated to achieve flat performance within the bandwidth. Please note that there is an extremely limited space in wind turbines and thus wind turbine main power circuit components are situated on different levels (relatively far from each other). Also the integrator, to which the Rogowski coil is connected, by its low-pass filter nature is suitable to attenuate electromagnetic interference.
Additionally SI-9001 differential voltage sensors with bandwidth of DC-25 MHz can be used as well as capacitive MV voltage sensors installed as "dead-end" T-connectors with bandwidth of 1 Hz-1 MHz.
A standard MV T-connector is typically installed to the MV network as a "dead-end" and the phase-to-earth voltage is measured using an end-plug (i.e. due to capacitive nature of a basic insulation plug). In wind turbine an appropriate place can be the switchgear to mount the T-connectors. Since the capacitive end-plug is not normally used for precise measurements, an amplifier for harmonic measurements with high frequency response and galvanic insulation is needed as well .
According to Whittaker–Nyquist–Kotelnikov–Shannon , , ,  sampling theorem a bandlimited signal can be fully reconstructed from its samples, provided that the sampling rate exceeds twice the maximum frequency in the bandlimited signal. This minimum sampling frequency is called the Nyquist rate. It means if the continuous-time signal x(t) is sampled at rate of fs=1⁄Ts >2f, the discrete signal is expressed as x[n]=x(nTs) for all integer n, then the signal x(t) can be completely reconstructed from these samples . Therefore anti-aliasing is needed to prevent frequency components above the Nyquist frequency fN (half the sampling frequency) that might be sampled by analog-digital converters from showing up at low-frequency components. This is a standard part of any digital measurement device. An example of data acquisition device useful for harmonic measurements can be National Instrument PXI-4472 or PXI-4495 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

In April of 2012, the Department of Justice issued a stinging report, alleging that the Shelby County Juvenile Court has systematically violated the due process rights of children and failed to offer equal protection to black children.
Read the complete DOJ report here
After six months of negotiations, the DOJ and the Court came to an agreement designed to transform the system and avoid a potentially long and expensive lawsuit.
Read the complete DOJ agreement here
This marked the first time the DOJ moved against a juvenile court system, calling national attention to Shelby County and its response. One of the most critical components of the MOA was the juvenile defense function. Previously, juvenile defense was handled entirely by a panel of private attorneys appointed by the Shelby County Juvenile Court Judge and reimbursed by the State. The Shelby County Public Defender's Office had not been formally involved in juvenile court cases since the 1970s.
After the MOA was signed, the public defender's office developed the Juvenile Defender Unit in 2013. The unit now handles approximately 60% of delinquency cases. It operates with teams of specially trained juvenile defenders, social workers and investigators.
On October 19th, 2018 the Department of Justice abruptly terminated its MOA before all 120 areas of compliance were satisfied. In fact, after DOJ monitors last visited Memphis a few weeks before termination — only 25% of Equal Protection issues were in full compliance. Seven major issues still remained under Due Process and three areas of Detention had not been satisfied. The early departure of the DOJ came after multiple requests from the previous Shelby County administration, the previous Sheriff and the current Juvenile Court Judge for early termination.
Before the DOJ's decision to leave, members of the Shelby County Commission and new Shelby County Mayor, Lee Harris, had stated they wanted DOJ oversight to continue.
On October 29, 2018 the Shelby County Commission passed a resolution on a vote of "no confidence" in the DOJ's termination of the agreement and requested it reinstate oversight. The resolution was approved by a vote of 7-4 with one member abstaining.

Here's a thorough look at the benefits of HIIT training.
Why don't you start burning fat sooner? Alcohol also stresses your liver which has to overwork to clear the toxins. Plus, writing down everything you eat will keep you from any "mindless" eating and will keep you from underestimating -- because we all underestimate -- what you actually consume.
How much protein do you need daily? And two, if you shoot for seven days a week but only manage four or five days a week of 20 minutes of moderate cardio first thing in the morning, you're still way ahead.

President Trump spoke yesterday with His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jabir Al-Sabah, the Amir of Kuwait. The President reaffirmed the strong defense partnership between the United States and Kuwait and expressed appreciation to Kuwait for hosting U.S. military personnel. Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen cooperation against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other terrorist groups. They exchanged views on mechanisms to address Iran's malign regional activities. More broadly, both leaders agreed on the importance of strengthening bilateral economic and education cooperation, building on the progress achieved at the 2016 U.S.‑Kuwait Strategic Dialogue. The two leaders agreed to remain in close contact on these and related issues.


I recently wrote about my work with Andrew Shaylor on his exhibition, Rockin': The Rockabilly Scene.
From April to May, fifty stunning photographs graced the walls of The National Theatre on London's South Bank.
Hot on the heels of Rockin', it has been great to revisit another project of Andrew's—The Circus.
I first had a glimpse of this body of work some seven years ago and, last week, the time came again to fire up my scanner and set about recording yet more captivating imagery from Andrew.
However, on receiving the parcel of 6×6 negatives and reference prints, little did I know that I was about to experience a shock 'blast from the past'.
Staring at me from within the box was David Weeks, the ticket inspector from my school train journey!
Periodically, it's certainly a pleasure to return to making high resolution film scans.
Film will always own a unique charm and beauty. If nothing else, it's interesting to be reminded of grain structure's dominance in the make-up of a negative.
So very recently, we used to be more than happy to accept the wonderful image quality provided by film.
To my mind, this sits at odds with a modern-day obsession—the eradication of relatively low levels of 'unsightly' noise in our digital captures.
Once in a while, let's keep some noise, I say, and avoid the clinicism!
It has once again been a great pleasure to print his latest body of work, Rockin': The Rockabilly Scene, to be shown at The National Theatre in London from next month.
"A big part of me is interested in sub cultures, and the Hells Angels book was clearly an expression of that, but that is its only connection with the rockabilly book.
Andrew's book Rockin': The Rockabilly Scene is published by Merrell on 12th April 2011.
Many moons ago, during my days of photographic assisting in London, I met Andrew Shaylor—an extremely talented and versatile photographer, able to turn his hand with ease to so many genres.
Whether portraiture, landscape, travel or automotive, Andrew's photography is always a visual treat.
Little was I to know in those 'greenhorn' days that, further down the line, Andrew would become a client of Jack Lowe Studio and I would be able to work on making his fine art prints.
A few years ago, we worked extensively together on huge, striking pieces for his Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club exhibition. This week, it has been great to revisit this project and make another large format print for Andrew—this time, 'Sean & Nelson'—with HP's Vivera Pigment ink-set and Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm.

Social Welfare Department Celebrates Universal Children's Day
Government and Non-Government Organisations pledge a fair chance for every child
By Amir Murtaza, Pakistan Correspondent for Safe World
Social Welfare Department (SWD) Government of Sindh in collaboration with UNICEF and Society for International Education (SIE), an NGO, celebrated Universal Children's Day on Friday, 20th November, 2015 at a local hotel in Karachi.
The participants of a programme – the majority of them school children, showed their commitment to make Pakistan a safe, secure and better place, especially for the future generations.
A large number of people from different sections of the society including government officials, officials of UNICEF, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and community-based organizations (CBOs), children from schools, communities, teachers, and parents participated in the program. Mr. Shariq Ahmed, Secretary SWD Sindh, and Dr. Nargiza Khodjaeva, Chief Field Officer UNICEF Sindh, also spoke on the occasion.
Universal Children's Day is an occasion for the government, NGOs, and civil society organizations to celebrate the anniversary of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; however, the day also reminds us to work hard and fulfill the rights of every child, as enshrined in UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
It is important to mention that United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the CRC on 20th November 1989. The treaty makes children the holders of over 40 fundamental rights, necessary for their survival, protection, development and participation.
Over the period of the past 25 years, after the ratification of UN CRC in 1990, Pakistan has made significant efforts to improve and fulfill child rights. Not only the government but UN agencies, international and local organisations and media have made tremendous contribution in getting positive results. Yet it is a fact that our children are still facing some very important development challenges, which should be tackled immediately and in totality.
Working for the Most Vulnerable Children
On the occasion of Universal Children's Day, UNICEF presented its 'equity agenda', which stresses on giving a fair chance in life to every child, everywhere, especially the most disadvantaged.
Indeed, the principle of equity guides the government organisations (GOs), international NGOs (INGOs), NGOs, UN agencies and civil society organizations to work for the most vulnerable children, notably girls, children living without proper care, children with disabilities, migrant and refugee children, children from socially or financially disadvantaged groups, and children living in remote areas.
Social Welfare Department (SWD) Government of Sindh is alive with the fact that concrete, coherent, and consistent work is required to improve the situation of children in the province. Thus, the department has played pivotal role in enactment of child-focused legislation; furthermore, SWD Sindh has established Child Protection Units (CPUs) in 12 districts of the province, including one each in Karachi, Hyderabad, TM Khan, Badin, Mirpurkhas, Sanghar, Sukkur, Khairpur, Ghotki, Kashmore, Shikarpur and Jacobabad.
SWD strongly believes that our children are truly entitled to all rights, as mentioned in UN CRC; therefore, SWD Sindh is dedicated and committed to provide opportunities and create a conducive environment that helps all children, especially the poor, needy and disadvantaged, to grow in life and achieve desired successes.

Today's post my mother's turn to medical hospice is by former Christian Scientist B.C.D.
My mother (her name is Ruth) was a devoted, life-long Christian Scientist who practiced "radical reliance." She would tell you that she experienced many wonderful healings in Christian Science.
Her condition deteriorated and she finally acknowledged that she was not going to "meet" the problem and that she would "pass on." Mother was not afraid of dying, but she was disappointed in herself: She had sometimes said that "Christian Scientists should not get sick and die"; rather, she believed that when the time came to die they should demonstrate a quick and painless passing from a healthy human state to their next plane of existence. But that's not how it worked out in her case.
The Christian Science nursing staff at the sanatorium made no adjustments to my mother's care as her distress, exhaustion, and pain increased. They continued to place a full tray of food in front of her three times a day even though she could not keep any food down. Neither could she sleep. My brother and I smuggled some sleeping pills to her, which she was grateful to have.
One morning she telephoned begging me to transfer her to a medical hospice. Later that day, I and a social worker from the hospice accompanied an ambulance to the Christian Science nursing facility to accomplish her move. The director was at first reluctant to release her, but after discussion she was allowed to leave.
Mother was admitted to the hospice and was made comfortable in a room by a medical nurse. The attending physician came by to interview her and explain what care they would provide to ease her through the death process. Mother asked a few questions and seemed satisfied. After the physician left, she turned to me and said, "These people are so much more professional" (those are her exact words). Mother died peacefully under palliative medical care about two weeks later.
Mother remained committed to Christian Science to the end. In her view, her turn to palliative medical care in her final days was consistent with Mary Baker Eddy's provision for relief from extreme pain as stated in "Science and Health" (p. 464). As I reflect on her experience, I am at a loss to understand how the Christian Science community can avert its eyes from the suffering of their faithful members as they go through the human death process.

Web Of Debt Introduction
Posted on 2009/02/25 by Jere Hough
Introductory comments by Jere L Hough
For those who want to fully understand our world's current financial predicament, the real look at "just how deep the rabbit hole goes", I have found no other written work as thorough, plain spoken, and balanced as the book, Web of Debt, by Ellen H Brown.
For several years I had been planning to write a book exposing the Federal Reserve System, and the "international central banking syndicate" in ways that the common person with a high school education could easily understand. Finding and reading this literary triumph was both a great reward as well as a disappointment. I realized that I could do no better at explaining this difficult subject of money-creation and control than Ellen Brown had done in the book I was reading. My efforts have shifted now to trying to alert as many people as possible to what is really happening to our world's economic systems, and why.
Let there be no doubt that those who control the economic systems and therefore, the money that is the life-blood of those systems, are more powerful than transient political leaders of the moment. Those who can collapse a nation's economy with a nod of the head are more powerful than any president or prime minister, or congress or court. Only an awakened and informed citizenry can retake the power of economic sovereignty that has been taken from them by shrewd, wicked, greedy and deceptive international financiers who are now engaged in a dance of death for power and control over you, your family and future, and everything else we hold valuable and dear.
We can no longer afford to ignore these grave storm warnings of the approaching "perfect storm". It is no longer coming. It is here. Financial and monetary reform can wait no longer. Ellen H Brown's peerless book, Web of Debt is the yellow brick road that could take us home. It's time we were on our way. – Jere L Hough, 2009-02-25

Ellen H Brown
Introduction: CAPTURED BY THE DEBT SPIDER
President Andrew Jackson called the banking cartel a "hydra-headed monster eating the flesh of the common man." New York Mayor John Hylan, writing in the 1920s, called it a "giant octopus" that "seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection." The debt spider has devoured farms, homes and whole countries that have become trapped in its web. In a February 2005 article called "The Death of Banking," financial commentator Hans Schicht wrote:
The fact that the Banker is allowed to extend credit several times his own capital base and that the Banking Cartels, the Central Banks, are licensed to issue fresh paper money in exchange for treasury paper, [has] provided them with free lunch for eternity. . . . Through a network of anonymous financial spider webbing only a handful of global King Bankers own and control it all. . . . Everybody, people, enterprise, State and foreign countries, all have become slaves chained to the Banker's credit ropes.1
Schicht writes that he had an opportunity in his career to observe the wizards of finance as an insider at close range. The game has gotten so centralized and concentrated, he says, that the greater part of U.S. banking and enterprise is now under the control of a small inner circle of men. He calls the game "spider webbing." Its rules include:
·	Making any concentration of wealth invisible.
·	Exercising control through "leverage" – mergers, takeovers, chain share holdings where one company holds shares of other companies, conditions annexed to loans, and so forth.
·	Exercising tight personal management and control, with a minimum of insiders and front-men who themselves have only partial knowledge of the game.
The late Dr. Carroll Quigley was a writer and professor of history at Georgetown University, where he was President Bill Clinton's mentor. Dr. Quigley wrote from personal knowledge of an elite clique of global financiers bent on controlling the world. Their aim, he said, was "nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole." This system was "to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements."2 He called this clique simply the "international bankers." Their essence was not race, religion or nationality but was just a passion for control over other humans. The key to their success was that they would control and manipulate the money system of a nation while letting it appear to be controlled by the government.
The international bankers have succeeded in doing more than just controlling the money supply. Today they actually create the money supply, while making it appear to be created by the government. This devious scheme was revealed by Sir Josiah Stamp, director of the Bank of England and the second richest man in Britain in the 1920s. Speaking at the University of Texas in 1927, he dropped this bombshell:
The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin . . . . Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. . . . Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. . . . But, if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.3
Professor Henry C. K. Liu is an economist who graduated from Harvard and chaired a graduate department at UCLA before becoming an investment adviser for developing countries. He calls the current monetary scheme a "cruel hoax: [Click below to read more]
"When we wake up to that fact, he says, our entire economic world view will need to be reordered, "just as physics was subject to reordering when man's world view changed with the realization that the earth is not stationary nor is it the center of the universe."4
The hoax is that there is virtually no "real" money in the system, only debts. Except for coins, which are issued by the government and make up only about one one-thousandth of the money supply, the entire U.S. money supply now consists of debt to private banks, for money they created with accounting entries on their books. It is all done by sleight of hand; and like a magician's trick, we have to see it many times before we realize what is going on. But when we do, it changes everything. All of history has to be rewritten.
The following chapters track the web of deceit that has engulfed us in debt, and present a simple solution that could make the country solvent once again. It is not a new solution but dates back to the Constitution: the power to create money needs to be returned to the government and the people it represents. The federal debt could be paid, income taxes could be eliminated, and social programs could be expanded; and this could all be done without imposing austerity measures on the people or sparking runaway inflation. Utopian as that may sound, it represents the thinking of some of America's brightest and best, historical and contemporary, including Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Among other arresting facts explored in this book are that:
The "Federal" Reserve is not actually federal. It is a private corporation owned by a consortium of very large multinational banks. (Chapter 13)
Except for coins, the government does not create money. Dollar bills (Federal Reserve Notes) are created by the private Federal Reserve, which lends them to the government. (Chapter 2)
Tangible currency (coins and dollar bills) together make up less than 3 percent of the U.S. money supply. The other 97 percent exists only as data entries on computer screens, and all of this money was created by banks in the form of loans. (Chapters 2 and 17)
·	The money that banks lend is not recycled from pre-existing deposits. It is new money, which did not exist until it was lent. (Chapters 17 and 18)
·	Thirty percent of the money created by banks with accounting entries is invested for their own accounts. (Chapter 18)
·	The American banking system, which at one time extended productive loans to agriculture and industry, has today become a giant betting machine. An estimated $370 trillion are now riding on complex high-risk bets known as derivatives – 28 times the $13 trillion annual output of the entire U.S. economy. These bets are funded by big U.S. banks and are made largely with borrowed money created on a computer screen. Derivatives can be and have been used to manipulate markets, loot businesses, and destroy competitor economies. (Chapters 20 and 32)
·	The U.S. federal debt has not been paid off since the days of Andrew Jackson. Only the interest gets paid, while the principal portion continues to grow. (Chapter 2)
·	The federal income tax was instituted specifically to coerce taxpayers to pay the interest due to the banks on the federal debt. If the money supply had been created by the government rather than borrowed from banks that created it, the income tax would have been unnecessary. (Chapters 13 and 43)
·	The interest alone on the federal debt will soon be more than the taxpayers can afford to pay. When we can't pay, the Federal Reserve's debt-based dollar system must collapse. (Chapter 29)
·	Contrary to popular belief, creeping inflation is not caused by the government irresponsibly printing dollars. It is caused by banks expanding the money supply with loans. (Chapter 10)
·	Most of the runaway inflation seen in "banana republics" has been caused, not by national governments over-printing money, but by global institutional speculators attacking local currencies and devaluing them on international markets. (Chapter 25)
·	The same sort of speculative devaluation could happen to the U.S. dollar if international investors were to abandon it as a global "reserve" currency, something they are now threatening to do in retaliation for what they perceive to be American economic imperialism. (Chapters 29 and 37)
·	There is a way out of this morass. The early American colonists found it, and so did Abraham Lincoln and some other national leaders: the government can take back the money-issuing power from the banks. (Chapters 8 and 24)
The bankers' Federal Reserve Notes and the government's coins represent two separate money systems that have been competing for dominance throughout recorded history. At one time, the right to issue money was the sovereign right of the king; but that right got usurped by private moneylenders. Today the sovereigns are the people, and the coins that make up less than one one-thousandth of the money supply are all that are left of our sovereign money. Many nations have successfully issued their own money, at least for a time; but the bankers' debt-money has generally infiltrated the system and taken over in the end. These concepts are so foreign to what we have been taught that it can be hard to wrap our minds around them, but the facts have been substantiated by many reliable authorities.
To cite a few – Robert H. Hemphill, Credit Manager of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, wrote in 1934:
We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. 5
Graham Towers, Governor of the Bank of Canada from 1935 to 1955, acknowledged:
Banks create money. That is what they are for. . . . The manufacturing process to make money consists of making an entry in a book. That is all. . . . Each and every time a Bank makes a loan . . . new Bank credit is created — brand new money.6
Robert B. Anderson, Secretary of the Treasury under Eisenhower, said in an interview reported in the August 31, 1959 issue of U.S. News and World Report:
[W]hen a bank makes a loan, it simply adds to the borrower's deposit account in the bank by the amount of the loan. The money is not taken from anyone else's deposit; it was not previously paid in to the bank by anyone. It's new money, created by the bank for the use of the borrower.
Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa, wrote during the Asian currency crisis of 1998:
[P]rivately held money reserves in the hands of "institutional speculators" far exceed the limited capabilities of the World's central banks. The latter acting individually or collectively are no longer able to fight the tide of speculative activity. Monetary policy is in the hands of private creditors who have the ability to freeze State budgets, paralyse the payments process, thwart the regular disbursement of wages to millions of workers (as in the former Soviet Union) and precipitate the collapse of production and social programmes.7
Today, Federal Reserve Notes and U.S. dollar loans dominate the economy of the world; but this international currency is not money issued by the American people or their government. It is money created and lent by a private cartel of international bankers, and this cartel has the United States itself hopelessly entangled in a web of debt. By 2006, combined personal, corporate and federal debt in the United States had reached a staggering 44 trillion dollars – four times the collective national income, or $147,312 for every man, woman and child in the country.8 The United States is legally bankrupt, defined in the dictionary as being unable to pay one's debts, being insolvent, or having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held. By October 2006, the debt of the U.S. government had hit a breath-taking $8.5 trillion. Local, state and national governments are all so heavily in debt that they have been forced to sell off public assets to satisfy creditors. Crowded schools, crowded roads, and cutbacks in public transportation are eroding the quality of American life. A 2005 report by the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the nation's infrastructure an overall grade of D, including its roads, bridges, drinking water systems and other public works. "Americans are spending more time stuck in traffic and less time at home with their families," said the group's president. "We need to establish a comprehensive, long-term infrastructure plan." 9 We need to but we can't, because government at every level is broke.
Money in the Land of Oz
If governments everywhere are in debt, who are they in debt to? The answer is that they are in debt to private banks. The "cruel hoax" is that governments are in debt for money created on a computer screen, money they could have created themselves. The vast power acquired through this sleight of hand by a small clique of men pulling the strings of government behind the scenes evokes images from The Wizard of Oz, a classic American fairytale that has become a rich source of imagery for financial commentators. Editorialist Christopher Mark wrote in a series called "The Grand Deception":
Welcome to the world of the International Banker, who like the famous film, The Wizard of Oz, stands behind the curtain of orchestrated national and international policymakers and so-called elected leaders. 10
The late Murray Rothbard, an economist of the classical Austrian School, wrote:
"Money and banking have been made to appear as mysterious and arcane processes that must be guided and operated by a technocratic elite. They are nothing of the sort. In money, even more than the rest of our affairs, we have been tricked by a malignant Wizard of Oz." 11
In a 2002 article titled "Who Controls the Federal Reserve System?", Victor Thorn wrote:
"In essence, money has become nothing more than illusion — an electronic figure or amount on a computer screen. . . . As time goes on, we have an increasing tendency toward being sucked into this Wizard of Oz vortex of unreality [by] magician-priests that use the illusion of money as their control device." 12
James Galbraith wrote in The New American Prospect:
"We are left . . . with the thought that the Federal Reserve Board does not know what it is doing. This is the "Wizard of Oz" theory, in which we pull away the curtains only to find an old man with a wrinkled face, playing with lights and loudspeakers." 13
The analogies to The Wizard of Oz work for a reason. According to later commentators, the tale was actually written as a monetary allegory, at a time when the "money question" was a key issue in American politics. In the 1890s, politicians were still hotly debating who should create the nation's money and what it should consist of. Should it be created by the government, with full accountability to the people? Or should it be created by private banks behind closed doors, for the banks' own private ends?
William Jennings Bryan, the Populist candidate for President in 1896 and again in 1900, mounted the last serious challenge to the right of private bankers to create the national money supply. According to the commentators, Bryan was represented in Frank Baum's 1900 book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by the Cowardly Lion. The Lion finally proved he was the King of Beasts by decapitating a giant spider that was terrorizing everyone in the forest. The giant spider Bryan challenged at the turn of the twentieth century was the Morgan/Rockefeller banking cartel, which was bent on usurping the power to create the nation's money from the people and their representative government.
Before World War I, two opposing systems of political economy competed for dominance in the United States. One operated out of Wall Street, the New York financial district that came to be the symbol of American finance. Its most important address was 23 Wall Street, known as the "House of Morgan." J. P. Morgan was an agent of powerful British banking interests. The Wizards of Wall Street and the Old World bankers pulling their strings sought to establish a national currency that was based on the "gold standard," one created privately by the financial elite who controlled the gold. The other system dated back to Benjamin Franklin and operated out of Philadelphia, the country's first capital, where the Constitutional Convention was held and Franklin's "Society for Political Inquiries" planned the industrialization and public works that would free the new republic from economic slavery to England.14 The Philadelphia faction favored a bank on the model established in provincial Pennsylvania, where a state loan office issued and lent money, collected the interest, and returned it to the provincial government to be used in place of taxes. President Abraham Lincoln returned to the colonial system of government-issued money during the Civil War; but he was assassinated, and the bankers reclaimed control of the money machine. The silent coup of the Wall Street faction culminated with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, something they achieved by misleading Bryan and other wary Congressmen into thinking the Federal Reserve was actually federal.
Today the debate over who should create the national money supply is rarely heard, mainly because few people even realize it is an issue. Politicians and economists, along with everybody else, simply assume that money is created by the government, and that the "inflation" everybody complains about is caused by an out-of-control government running the dollar printing presses. The puppeteers working the money machine were more visible in the 1890s than they are today, largely because they had not yet succeeded in buying up the media and cornering public opinion.
Economics is a dry and forbidding subject that has been made intentionally complex by banking interests intent on concealing what is really going on. It is a subject that sorely needs lightening up, with imagery, metaphors, characters and a plot; so before we get into the ponderous details of the modern system of money-based-on-debt, we'll take an excursion back to a simpler time, when the money issues were more obvious and were still a burning topic of discussion. The plot line for The Wizard of Oz has been traced to the first-ever march on Washington, led by an obscure Ohio businessman who sought to persuade Congress to return to Lincoln's system of government-issued money in 1894. Besides sparking a century of protest marches and the country's most famous fairytale, this little-known visionary and the band of unemployed men he led may actually have had the solution to the whole money problem, then and now . . . .

Managing on the frontline
Kabelo Dipholo
MERITING MANAGER: Dr. Tuelo Ntwaagae
COVID -19 Warrior
Botswana Medical Practitioners Group Chairman, Dr. Tuelo Ntwaagae who also serves as the Chairperson of the Health Sector in Business Botswana, feels the private sector has been sidelined in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
In this interview with The Voice journalist KABELO ADAMSON, Meriting Medical Centre Managing Director says things could have been different had the private medical practitioners been engaged from the onset, but nonetheless says the government has put up a good fight against the pandemic.
Q. What is your view on how government has handled the spread the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic?
A. I think on average we have done very well if you compare us with other countries.
If you look at our numbers and the interventions, which have been put in place we are doing well.
Although we feel that the private sector should have been more involved.
There should be a collaboration between the government and the private sector and our feeling is, it is not adequate at the moment.
Q. But did you approach government as the private practitioners to offer your assistance?
A. Yes, we did present our position to government but to be honest with you, we were not rejected.
There were delays here and there concerning our engagements.
The delays were exacerbated by the departure of the Permanent Secretary and his Deputy from the Health Ministry, but the position that we presented to the government was that the private sector was ready to step in and assist because we have resources, skilled people, from public health specialists to specialized nurses and we even told the government we are ready to donate time as well.
Q. But when you presented your position to government on how to collaborate, what was the response?
A. The government has recently released a notice to the effect that the private sector can participate in the testing of the coronavirus, but during our engagements, we made it clear that there should be guidelines for testing by the private sector.
We proposed that the testing exercise should be co-funded with the government paying a portion and the private sector as well.
But to our surprise, we recently learned through a notice from the government that the private sector should bear all the costs!
This is something we will need to discuss with the minister.
We have waited for too long for this collaboration until the public noticed there is a gap between the government and the private sector in terms of a working relationship
Q. Do you think an agreement will ever be reached?
A. It really worries me because this has taken longer than we had wished.
We approached the government in the early days of the pandemic to present our position and now the delays have led to a recent issue where there was a public disagreement over suspected Covid-19 cases.
That is abnormal in the health sector; we don't disagree over the results in public, it shows how big the gap is between the government and the private sector.
Q. Besides being the chairman of the Medical Practitioners Group, I understand you are also the Chairman of the health sector in Business Botswana.
A. Yes, I assumed the Chairmanship of the health sector in 2018.
Our main mandate as the health sector is to advocate for investments and the growth of the sector.
We also want to harmonize the relationship between the government and the private sector to enable a good collaboration going forward.
In addition, I am also a member of the National Health Council, which was set up through an Act of Parliament.
Unfortunately, the Council has not been active but as the private sector, we are pushing for it to be active because it will provide a conduit where our issues will be channeled to government.
We have been up in arms with the ministry to make the Council work because it is a statutory committee in which little is known about it.
Q. You also run your own clinic when did you start it?
A. Our clinic started back in 2011, a year after I left government.
We started as a small clinic behind Marina Hospital offering general medical services ranging from kids, teenagers, and young adults to the elderly.
Basically all ages!
Q. How long did you work for government, and why did you leave?
A. I spent about three years with government.
I left public service because I wanted to explore and see what's out there for me.
It was about growth.
When you are still with government everything is streamlined and if you are to grow you would have to do that within a district and it is very difficult for you to be able to reach out to other platforms.
Remember as a public officer, you are under the guidance of the Public Service Act, which has its own limitations.
As a doctor, just like any other profession, it becomes difficult to grow.
So for me, it was about being on a platform, which allowed me to grow and come up with innovations and explore other interests without a worry.
Q. But why do we see many doctors and health professionals leaving the public service to establish their own practices?
A. Well, I think beyond the issue of freedom, when you engage with others they tell you they are frustrated.
But I have never really got to understand what their frustrations are but for me, it wasn't the case. Most of them say conditions of service are not conducive, which limits their innovation and growth because they have to operate within a system, which is quite restrictive.
Q. There are a number of private clinics around town, what's sets you apart from the rest?
A. I believe every one of us has a specific role to play.
When I completed my studies in South Africa, I made a big decision to come back home to help my people.
When I got here, I realised that there was a lot that needed to be done for the people.
I am here to serve.
I am more than a business person, I am a servant of the nation and that is why I have a radio show, doing newspaper columns and being able to serve in leadership associations.
Q. Tell us more about the radio show.
A. We started the show a month ago at Duma FM, it is a beautiful show which aims to provide people with updates on Covid-19 issues, health and wellness tips.
This came after we realized that as the private sector, we were not doing enough in terms of educating the public on various health issues.
The radio show is going very well and is running between 21:00 and 23:00 hours
But my vision is for the show to be international, be it radio or television as I want to reach an international audience at some stage.
If you look at the talent that we have in this country, we can make it to the international stage if we collaborate.
Q. What is your view on the status of our healthcare system?
A. We have a lot of work to do because if you look at our health system, firstly there is a shortage of skills, we need to train and provide a conducive environment for training and remove impediments, which prohibit us from training more people.
Even the Health Professionals Act, the one which has licensed me, is not very clear on what levels of facilities we should have.
You seem to be a very busy man, how do you pass time?
During my spare time, I spend time with my family and because I also do a bit of farming, I usually take them to the farm.
I am not a man of restaurants because time is something, which I don't have and wish I could be given an extra 48 hours on top of the seven days a week.
I also do sports, a bit of soccer and martial arts.
Thank God It's Friday, what are you up to this weekend?
It is a bit difficult to say now because we have been back and forth with the lockdown, but I think I will just be home.
You can't really plan for the weekend because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Catherine Mueller on Opus No. 7 by Dmitry Krymov, as presented by St. Ann's Warehouse
Very quickly, we learn that things are not what we expect them to be. The performance space at St. Ann's has been configured into a long, narrow rectangle. Once seated, we gaze at a dirty white wall of panels and an assemblage of seven grimy buckets. A sloppy white line running parallel to the edge of the audience subtly, unevenly bisects the space. We are warned that at intermission, we must vacate the theater with all our belongings, as the space will be reconfigured during a 25-minute pause. On alert, we anticipate that nothing here will be permanent, as it seems to be, or predictable.
We are not disappointed. Broom handles become radio antennae, rags used to clean the floor are revealed to be an old dress, whose recognizable shape both comforts and shocks us, even before it is worn, and black splatters of paint are given hats, belts and hair, suddenly becoming our ancestors, alive and animated along the back wall. Eyeglasses and shoes are children, hanging jackets are ghosts, projections we thought were still suddenly move. It is clear that these artists from the design-centered Dmitry Krymov Lab of the Moscow Theater School of Dramatic Art, guided by their founder, are traveling one step ahead of our collective imagination. And yet, the constant transformation we witness does not feel rushed or jarring, rather it feels natural, as if this is how art and life both proceed: one thing leading to the next and the next and so on. Change is inevitable. Stagnancy is death, but stillness can be beautifully alive.
The theater magic on display here is a simple and straightforward manipulation of modest means, but from the first moment, the audience is willingly transported into a lyrical, impressionistic exploration of history and life. Sparse Russian text, with English subtitles projected quietly above the stage, is underscored by musical and vocal compositions by the performers as they pull back the layers of this visual cake. Mostly, we understand that we are in for a spectacle, but one that feels supported by the inquiry from which it stems: Where we come from (Part One, Geneology) and How easily we can be destroyed (Part Two, Shostakovitch).
How can we piece together an epic idea like war, loss, oppression, or confinement? How can we illuminate the human condition that continually endures injustice, debilitating compromise, and pain? Is there room inside these tragedies for joy, peace or beauty? Theater, since its inception, has been a tool for man to explore these very big ideas, often without conclusion, agenda or intent other than as potential illumination or reminder. Here, we are given a sense of history without the supposedly necessary details of a history lesson and we learn about the life of a man through collision after collision of metaphor. It suddenly makes sense that when Christ is born, he is a blanket filled with the shoes of dead children, and that a tormented artist at a piano can stay still while the walls of his world literally spin around him.
Perhaps I have given away too much, but this show is nearly sold-out, and the chances of you seeing it during this incarnation are small, though I very much encourage you to try. Try, if only to remind yourself what it is like to strive for something, to desire, to ache to breathe in someone else's space. Krymov is also a painter, who abandoned the theater in the 1980's to dedicate himself fully to painting. He returned to the theater after his father died in 2002, transcending the bifurcation that unfortunately has us compartmentalize ourselves and our work. We can learn from his merging of form, of idea. Let this black and white visual world wash over you, removing a layer of the crust that keeps your artistry from its fullest expression. Let this ensemble's bold beauty remind you of your own. This is the power of art.
Catherine Mueller


Precious is from Woodbury, MN and had an fantastic on-location photo shoot. These were her top selections. One of my favorite images from the whole year is the third one where she's looking away from the camera wearing her Woodbury Royals shirt in the tall grasses. Its really a moment where she's being totally natural and unaware of the camera and you get a sense of her. The other shots are wonderful too but I really love that one.

Home News Taking Action Governor Orders Release Of Salaries For Ku Staff
Taking action: Governor orders release of salaries for KU staff
Teachers at Karachi University hold a protest over non-payment of their salaries, outside Administration Block, KU on Tuesday. PHOTO: PPI
KARACHI: Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan took notice on Wednesday of the protesting teachers and non-teaching staff of the University of Karachi (KU), which continued on the second day.
Raising concerns regarding issues of unpaid salaries, leave encashment and research grants, the teachers called off all the academic activities after the Karachi University Teacher's Society's (Kuts) general body meeting on Tuesday.
Khan, who is also the university chancellor, called on a meeting with varsity's vice-chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Qaiser and representatives of Higher Education Commission (HEC), Sindh, at Governor House.
The meeting was presided over by the governor's education adviser, Syed Wajahat Ali. Khan also ordered the representatives to make sure that there should be no delay in payment of salaries to employees.
The reasons were discussed for late payments of salaries and it was decided that HEC is not responsible for salaries of staff members. Dr Qaiser informed that he has been asking KU's finance department to release the salaries since the last one week. KU's finance-director Tariq Kaleem was instructed not to repeat such practices again.
Kaleem also presented the financial status of the university in the meeting and was asked to make a detailed report on the financial woes of the varsity. The report will be submitted to the governor and the chairperson of the HEC.
Meanwhile, Dr Qaiser also asked HEC's chairperson for a one-time special grant to help the university.
KUTS' version
Meanwhile, Kuts and Employers Welfare Association which presented their demands on Tuesday is firm on their decision of boycotting the academic activities today (Thursday) as well.
Kuts president Dr Shakeel Farooqui told The Express Tribune that they will have general body meeting today (Thursday) to decide their next step as their protest was not only about unpaid salaries but also for all the other financial issues which include leave encashment and research grants.
"We will boycott classes [on Thursday] and decide in the general body what to do next to make the administration to fulfill our demands," he said. On the meeting called by the governor, Farooqui said that the meeting was not needed until there is an announcement in the increase of grant from HEC or the government.

Inspired Star Trek Fan Launches Innovative New Web Series
By Captain Pyke | February 7, 2012 - 12:16 am
Here's something that we think all of you will dig. It's a brand new web series called "The Paunk! Show" that features a parody of our favorite scifi series. You know which one, right? For those of you who said Ark II, please slowly step away from your computer... Anyway, the premise of the series is that all of Earth's television broadcasts have been traveling into space where an alien audience has been receiving them. There's one problem, the signals are so scattered and weak that they are almost unwatchable. So this one alien, Paunk!, uses his giant computer, the Pear OD-9000, to fill in the gaps and recreate the shows, which he then shares with his audience.
Paunk!'s show is a lot like the creature feature programs you'd catch on late night TV. You know the type; cheap sets, old movies, and goofy segments before and after commercials. In this case, Paunk! is showing an episode called "Amutt Time" from a familiar looking series called Stalled Trek. That's right kids, it's a parody of TOS with puppets. Did we mention that we love puppets? Well, okay, they're 3D animated puppets, but this new web seires is definitely worth a look. While watching, we had several laugh out loud moments and with all of the inside jokes and attention to detail, you can tell that this was made by a real Trek fan.. In fact the series creator, Mark R. Largent, animated and voiced the entire episode. Mark dropped us a line and filled in a little bit of the back story for the new series.
"As I remember it, I was thinking of "Vul-canine.".... along with the idea that Spock was a "mutt" and that Pon Farr was kind of like a dog going into heat. The [Amutt Time] parody grew out of that." Mark continues, "Over the years, it was that one project that kept coming back to mind....I even started experimenting and trying to learn 3D animation just so that I could do an animated version."
Mark just recently launched the pilot for "The Paunk! Show" and has plans to release 5 episodes (or chapters) for "Amutt Time" with the official release date set in April. He adds: "My goal is to launch the series (appropriately) on April 1st on a weekly schedule. Then, if there seems to be an audience for it, come back and do another series of five later in the year."
Like we said earlier, the series is definitely worth a watch and we're excited to see where it heads next.
You can check out more of Mark's work including his web comic "Greyhawk and the Starbucklers of the Caribbean" here and here. And, of course, you can watch the pilot episode of "The Paunk! Show" below.
