# Miscellaneous notes

* Boosting:
	* Generic boosting theorem
    * Easiest to state when assume access to whole distribution. Otherwise, have to sample and assume something about VC dimension to generalize. (See old 511 notes. Actual argument works with $\Pi_H(m)$, is there some reason we need to do that?)
	* Hardcore lemma
	* Strong version: Either allow real-number predictions, or think of real-number output as flipping a coin with that probability. This can save the vital factor of 2 compared to worst-case.
	* I don't get the potential argument.
	* I do get the multiplicative weights argument of BHK, but there are some things to be careful about.
		* Familiar with MW with divergence applied to it.
		* How to make non-worst case? Is this already covered?
		* What about the AdaBoost improvement - algorithmically speaking, it makes sense to adapt weight based on number correct/wrong. Can you not redo the analysis here?
		* Important: need to keep track of density of $\de$.
		* Do we need to cap the weights at 1? What problem is this trying to solve? What happens if we don't?
* Dense model theorem
	* Got $\de''$ ($\wh \de$) part
	* Lots of algebra/$\ep$'s and $\de$'s here. I'm missing an additive factor of $\de^2$ ($\fc{\de}{1+\de}$ instead of $\de$)...
	* Todo: Understand example that shows optimality
* Weak regularity
	* Why do we need the condition on no cut having too many edges? Counterexample if this is not satisfied? Is there a statement that's not "X or Y"?
	* What subroutines are required for the algorithmic version?
	* Note that the points are $V\times V$, or edges in the complete graph. Tests are $A\not\cap B$. (These are not the points.)
	* Get directly from algorithmic DMT?
* Other things
    * Low-complexity approximation
	* Computational entropy
	* Structure theorem (my understanding is that the dense model theorem gives up if it finds a hot spot, while structure attempts to find all the hot spots because it's iterative).

# What does this say for learning?

* Relax "tests" to "functions", perhaps $[0,1]$-functions. Does everything still go through?
* Does this give a GAN formulation? Note that the dense model/structure theorem breaks into regions of constant density, and you get handle on the probability distribution, while in GAN, you have a generative model, not an assignment of probabilities. Can you make a GAN which knows about its probabilities? Is this a Bayesian NN?
* Does this jibe with the greedy algorithmic version of Barron's Theorem? Is the process of finding the best $h$ (if $H$ is linear thresholds/sigmoids/1-dimensional functions) correspond to finding the best new node? Can we make this convex? What if we just want weak learning here?

Woman indicted in beating death of 1-year old…
Woman indicted in beating death of 1-year old daughter
By Paradise Post |
PUBLISHED: June 22, 2016 at 11:37 a.m. | UPDATED: May 18, 2018 at 11:45 a.m.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A grand jury has indicted an Alabama woman whose daughter was beaten to death while police said she and a friend were out at a club.
Katerra Lewis, 27, of Birmingham is accused of reckless manslaughter in the death of her 1-year-old daughter Kelci Lewis.
Birmingham police have said Lewis and a friend left several young children home alone when they went out in October. An 8-year-old boy who was babysitting beat Kelci when she started crying and put the girl back in her crib, Birmingham police Lt. Sean Edwards has said. No one reported that the girl was unresponsive until later that morning.
The girl suffered severe head trauma and internal injuries. The boy was taken into custody on a murder warrant and was placed in the care of the Department of Human Resources, police have said.
Jefferson County District Judge Shelly Watkins dismissed a reckless manslaughter charge against Lewis in January, saying probable cause didn't exist to support the charge. However, the judge told prosecutors they could still present the case to a grand jury.
After the charge was dismissed, Lewis' attorney Emory Anthony said his client wasn't involved in Kelci's death and that it doesn't make legal sense to prosecute his client when the boy accused in the assault has already been taken into custody. A phone call to Anthony wasn't immediately returned Wednesday morning.
The Jefferson County grand jury's indictment, dated May 27, accuses Lewis of recklessly leaving her daughter in the care of another child she knew to be dangerous, or under conditions where the girl wouldn't be protected from abuse.
The boy's identity hasn't been released. Police have said Lewis and the boy's mother were together at the time of the assault. His case is being handled in the juvenile court system and details of the proceedings are confidential.

Keen hikers and climbers holidaying in Benidorm should not miss out on a visit to El Montgó Nature Reserve. Situated between the towns of Xábia and Dénia, about a 50 minute drive from Benidorm, the reserve's crowning glory is Montgó itself, a large mountain that forms par of the Cordillera Prebética Mountain Range. Viewed from Xábia, some say the mountain looks like the head of an elephant and is fondly referred to as Old Monty. It plays an important role in the ecology of the country and is home to some of the most rare and unusual flora & fauna in Spain. Due to this fact, the reserve was declared a Protected Nature Reserve in 1987.
El Montgó Nature Reserve surrounds the mountain, and including its coastal section encompasses 2150 hectares of fascinating wilderness, caves, cliffs and rock formations. Hiking trails can be found throughout the reserve, and for the more enthusiastic hikers and climbers, there are trails to the summit of the mountain from all sides where climbers are rewarded with panoramic views all the way to the island of Ibiza. Of all the routes up the mountain the easiest one is from the area known as Les Planes, and the most demanding is from Cabo San Antonio.
For those who want a more sedate day out, the lower valleys and plains of the reserve offer less strenuous hiking and mountain biking trails, where you can take in the beauty of your surroundings and find a cool, shady spot to enjoy a packed lunch. Alternatively, if you don't want to be burdened with bags or rucksacks, the nearby villages and towns offer a good selection of cafés, bars and restaurants. The fish and seafood of the region is particularly tasty and you will find it featured on most restaurant menus.

Golden Milk is an ancient Ayurvedic drink made using turmeric and milk – and it's one of the best ways I know to incorporate turmeric into one's daily diet. Turmeric is known to have so many health benefits due to curcumin, a powerful polyphenol antioxidant that also gives turmeric its beautiful golden color.
Unlike pasteurized and ultra-high-temperature (UHT) pasteurized milk, raw milk is a living food. Several of milk's natural components including beneficial bacteria, food enzymes, natural vitamins and immunoglobulins are heat-sensitive. These health-promoting components of natural, raw milk are destroyed by heating and therefore not present in pasteurized or UHT milk.

Summary : Fresh Air: Stephen Colbert, October 9, 2007
Hear Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, on this edition of Fresh Air.
His show parodies, and is modeled after, The O'Reilly Factor. In fact, in a New Yorker review, Nancy Franklin writes, "Colbert resembles nobody more than he does Bill O'Reilly, and like O'Reilly, he conveys fake humility and easy rage toward inappropriate targets." Colbert was formerly the (fake) senior correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with John Stewart. His new book is I Am America (And So Can You!). [Broadcast Date: October 9, 2007]

Q: SelectLayerByLocation_management not filtering in ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Server arcgispro-py3 instance For some reason, SelectLayerByLocation_management is not filtering with arcgispro-py3 instances from ArcGIS Pro 2.8 and ArcGIS Server 10.9. Filtering works fine using ArcGIS Server 10.9 python2.7 installation. The mosaic dataset has about 280K rasters and the AOI polygon should only return a subset of matching OIDs based on intersect with the Mosaic Dataset footprint layer. I tried setting arcpy.env.outputCoordinateSystem to the MD SR (4326) before calling SelectLayerByLocation_management but that didn't work. Am I missing something?
import arcpy

path_md = r'H:/Data/Raster.gdb/MD1'
path_aoi_geojson = r'H:/Data/aoi.json'
PATHS = r'in_memory\paths'

with open(path_aoi_geojson) as f:
    geojson = json.loads(f.read())
ft = geojson['features'][0]
path_aoi = arcpy.AsShape(ft['geometry'], False)

arcpy.MakeMosaicLayer_management(path_md, 'MD_Lyr')
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(r'MD_Lyr\Footprint', 'INTERSECT', path_aoi)

oid_list = set(row[0] for row in arcpy.da.TableToNumPyArray(r'MD_Lyr\Footprint' ,"OID@"))

Being around so much brutality leaves many bands incapable of smiling.
The roots of Death metal (Metallus Deathicus) can traced back to 2000 BC when the Anasazi discovered a new emotion: Rage. The Anasazi did not know how to express this feeling, so they kept it bottled up until one day an Anasazi man named Ch'thzhlu'tu (Pronounced tom) lost his temper and hit his best friend Ch'lith Zhu (Pronounced Warble) over the head with a rock. This sound helped relive Ch'thzhlu'tu's rage, so he did it again. Soon, hitting Ch'lith Zhu with a rock became a common way to release rage. But one day Ch'lith Zhu had been beaten so badly that he was just a smear on the ground, so the Anasazi had to hit something else. They made small statues resembling Ch'lith Zhu to hit. These statues became known as Drums. Soon the Anasazi found that drums were not enough, so they added downtuned guitars, basses and incoherent shouting to the sound. However, it wasn't until Cookie Monster in his band Cannibal Cookies that death metal found their trademark vocal style. Currently, Dethklok serves as the ambassador between the world and Death Metal.
Other sources suggest death metal was formed from a over cooked fruit bat that escaped from a George Foreman grill. Ozzy Osbourne then bit the head off the bat and spewed blood over a guitar amp. This caused a paradox in time, merging death with metal.

Symptoms of Death Metal[edit]
A typical moshpititus outbreak.
Listening to this type of music usually induces brain hemorrhaging, which leads to bleeding of the ears. Bleeding ears in the Death Metal culture is highly fashionable, which means ears must be bleeding at all times. This shows that you listen to the loud, gravelly buzz noise that is Death metal and are therefore cooler than everyone. It could also mean that you took too many drugs. Other symptoms include: having a neck larger than your head, bloody diarrhea from constant exposure to deadly bass lines, moshpititus, and surprisingly, death.
One of the confusing things for many Death Metal bands is that they are always being told by adoring fans that they are 'sick'. "Dude, that is sick." "Dude, you're sick." "Sick performance." "That's a sick riff." "Sick vokills man." Countless hours in emergency rooms and doctors' offices has not given Death Metal bands the answer they need: namely, why am I always so 'sick'? Researchers in Sweden, Antarctica and other Death Metal hotbeds have spent decades analyzing microscopic bacteria found in the body hair and beards of many Death Metal band members. Dr. DeRay DeVorkian, clinical researcher at the University of Florida believes he may have pinpointed the cause of the universal 'sick'ness found in many Death Metal bands. DeVorkian writes, "My team of researchers believes that the microscopic bacterium known as Metallus Morbidus may be behind the maladies so prevalent in the Death Metal community. We recommend that all Death Metal bands be innoculized at least once a year against this bacteria."
How to Recognise Death Metal[edit]
As most death metal sounds the same most people cannot tell the difference unless they have spent years blowing their ears out and getting depressed. However there are common characteristics of all death metal that may assist in identifying a death metal band. While to the untrained ear, all Death Metal songs go like this: chuggachuggachugga hurghhh hurggghhh hurrggghhh chuggachuggachuggachuggachugga... those trained in the higher art known as Deathus Metalus (its Latin root), know the following:
If greater than 6.66% of the vocals are comprehensible it is unlikely that you are listening to death metal.
The singer should have a bass (voice) vocal range at least and be able to vocally be measured on the richter scale. If no suitable bass can be found, then growling of bass notes is an accepted alternative.
If you are able to find a lyrics sheet then lyrics dealing with bodily functions, bodily fluids, murdering babies and mutilating corpses are a good sign of a death metal band.
If you can find words dealing with love, there's a slight chance that maybe you are not listening to death metal (note - in most places necrophilia isn't an accepted love expression).
Words that start with "D-E-A" usually work too. These words include Deam, Deat, Deant, Deal, Deavour, and of course..the most important word in the DEATH metal vocabulary, Deanonospriticlonactioucaucus.
Usually there is no differentiation between guitar and bass, they all just play.
The two approaches to creating the most chaotic sound are playing painfully non-melodic passages together or all players playing randomly. This approach is not utilized in any other form of music.
Death Metal drummers often hit the same drum many times in a very short time period. As a result death metal drumming sounds like they are simply trying to annoy the guitar players and/or are falling down a set of stairs. Hitting a wall with a hammer as fast as you can is called alternative death metal drumming.
Usually music has elements such as tempo, melody, harmony, and structure. However death metal is absent of these elements. Because of this death metal is often mistaken/declared as noise... or noisecore... or brutal noisecore... or technical noisecore.
Albums that have cartoons that have dead zombies dressed as doctors with their hands inside a female corpse thats torso is ripped in half, with corpses of babies hung by their umbilical cords in the background is a near certain indicator of a death metal band. (Or simply an image of Buddy Holly can qualify as a death metal album)
While early death metal, circa 17th century stuck around tempos of 50-60 bpm with a dub reggae groove on the kick drum, death metal of today can start at 300 bpm and upwards to 30,303 bpm as set in the death metal hall of fame by Origin. Members of Beneath The Massacre have been quoted as saying anything below 500 bpm just isn't death metal anymore, and should be classified as Hardstyle trance music as is said to make listeners want to jump standing on one leg for extended periods of time. Inferno from Behemoth plays so fast he actually metamorphosizes into a modern iconoclast of Baphomet while playing live. Researchers from the National Institute of Death Metal are currently investigating the possibility of achieving tempos of 66,666 bpm through the use of solid rocket boosters.
It is also well known that a good Death Metal album is called a "slab" while a shitty one is called "deathcore".
Death Metal Guitar Techniques[edit]
The guitar techniques of death metal guitarists are named after brutal things they do to people:
The Chop - Hitting the first string then immediatly hitting the second string with an upwards stroke. Invented by the guitarist of As Blood Runs Black(Jimi Hendrix), chopping is a very powerful technique in the death metal world. The guitarist of As Blood Runs Black named it this shortly after "chop"ping his grandmother to pieces and placing her in a brown paper bag.
The Chug - The chug can only be performed in drop BLEGH tuning. Hit the string with a hard downstroke while holding one basic fret(mostly used during breakdowns). Invented by the guitarist of Carnifex (Angus Young) after "Chug"ging an entire bottle of Jager, throwing up, putting it back in the bottle, and chugging it again. It's the most brutal form of making a breakdown.
The Djent - A similar technique to The Chug, but with the notes exceedingly palm muted. Strum patterns are usually created by going "d-jent d-jent d-d-d-jent-jent" or similarly, using the word as a base (Even though the "D" is silent). Just transfer the pattern from the mouth to the guitar.
The Sweep - This was invented by either the guitarist of All Shall Perish or the ex guitarist of the Human Abstract they fought to the death over it thus causing the downfall of both bands. You use you pick in a sweeping motion while hitting the highest frets on the guitar (78 and 79).
The Brown Chord - Invented by the guitarist of Cannibal Corpse (Dr. Phil) called the brown chord because it's so brutal and powerful it makes you shit your pants.
The Squeal - Invented by the guitarist of Slayer (Kerry King), who heard the noise after killing his own daughter and thought it was the most brootiful sound he'd ever heard. He tried to make the sound on the guitar and finally suceeded once. The only man on earth to master the squeal is Chuck Schuldiner.
The Ear Rape - Invented by the guitarist from Entombed (John Lennon), this consists of using a clean tone and putting on a terrible 80s sounding chorus effect. So called due to the effect it has on your ears and the guitarist from Entombed using someone's head as a chorus pedal.
The Chain Gun - (Possibly one of the most difficult of the death metal guitar techniques), it was invented by the guitarist from Decapitated (Osama Bin Laden), this technique is often created by merging your guitar (of course, in lowest tuning possible of Z flat), and shooting it as fast as you possibly could with a chain gun, until the the bullets from the gun hit the strings at a speed of at least (minimal) speed of 66,666 bpm. The resulting sound will usually sound like a chainsaw, or in other words, thick, sharp, loud, harsh, and... well, of course, Deadly.
The SMASHCRACKBLEEESAAAHHHKKKKK - Invented by the guitarist of Impaled Corpse, the well known Ludwig van Beethoven, when he "accidentally" got his guitar smashed into his head. The collision caused a horrendous sound from the combination of the slight cracking of Beethoven's skull, with the guitar exploding, caused a sound that would only be immortalized into Death Metal, this sound was so horrendous and loud, it caused Beethoven to become deaf, making The SMASHCRACKBLEEESAAAHHHKKKKK the last thing he ever heard. Even though he mourned his loss of hearing, and the sadness of never being able to hear The SMASHCRACKBLEEESAAAHHHKKKKK again, it only encouraged him to spread the sound to all the people around him. So now, if you want to perform the SMASHCRACKBLEEESAAAHHHKKKKK, all you have to do is smash your guitar into the closest person's head. It will be brootiful.
The Not So Brutal Invasion of Deathcore[edit]
Warning: if you clicked on this because you read the word deathcore, then you suck and your license is hereby revoked. Poser.
One day in an emo fan's black painted bedroom, he imagined up a genre called Hardcore punk. This genre was ultimately going to be destroyed by a hammer in the song "Hammer Smashed Face". However, the song didn't work making Cannibal Corpse more famous than ever.
On one cold suburban morning, this emo known as "I'm going to hurt myself because my life sucks" blended hardcore punk with brutal killing death metal. Thus the genre deathcore was created, with no solos, no death metal riffs, and ultimate emo-ness.
This gave birth to sceneius faggius (more commonly known as "scene kids"). There are many characteristics of scene kids such as; stupid deathcore bandshirts, dyed hair (normally a shade of blue or red), and skinny jeans that are way too tight. Scene kids also tend to have an undeserved sense that they are cool, deep, misunderstood, and original even though in all reality they are the lowest form of life. Scene kids can also be found in many places but, they are most often found at their local mall in the Topic store, which seems to oddly provide them with either sustenance, or justification of their pathetic existence.
Scene kids are known to travel in packs. There are also many ways to deal with scene kids, although there are few effective ones - beating them up simply won't work anymore, due to the fact that they are too stupid to understand that nobody likes them. The most effective eradication methods are either exposing them to the shear power of true death metal (which will cause their faces to melt), or one can burn down all Hot Topics in a twenty mile radius. This will cause them to slowly shrivel up and die, or at least become so much more emo they refuse to leave their bedrooms.
The scene and emo people are instantly killed when confronted by a Cannibal Corpse fan, a band which advocates non-violence in death metalness. The song "Make Them Suffer" is about emos being brutally tortured for invading death metal.
It is of course well known that all true death metal fans carry with them a Metal Card, and that Card should be revoked if they are caught listening to anything core-related.
The Squiggly Lines Phenomenon[edit]
An examination of most death metal band's logos will reveal a simple equation used to determine certain factors about the band. The rule is as follows:
The harder it is to read, the more death metal the band is.
Some death metal bands choose to engage in the process of 'bleeing' when drawing their logos. In this fashion, bands choose to simply draw random lines instead of actually including their name in the logo. This makes the band even more death metal.
Arguably the most popular artist involved in death metal logo creating is Michael J. Fox, who's rival is the original artist of Death Metal, Muhammed Ali.
What are the people who listen to it like?[edit]
Your average death metal fan mutilates 10 enemies and consumes 5 liters of goat's blood on a daily basis.
The younger generation who claim to listen to the said type of music, are normally poseurs; people who try their best to gain friends of their kind. But of course they should know, listening to Death Metal isn't cool, therefore being cool is gay. Being an outcast is the true calling of the Metalhead. However the people who listen to non stop old-school death metal are proven by science to be the greatest people who ever lived.
The older generation however, consists of fat, hairy, balding, biker men. They usually walk around in lots of leather, and carry bottles of liquor in brown paper bags with them everywhere they go. Some of them wear bandanas, not to be confused with bananas or the duodenum. These such people walk around in packs, grunting when spoken to and spitting when speaking to. Their language is a jumble of 'Eurrs', 'Yrrs' and 'Oiis'. To make it easier to imagine, think of a drunken pirate.
Anyone to confuse Goths or Emos with Metalheads should think twice before addressing a true metalhead as such. Ever had a your gonads smashed by a ball-peen hammer? (quote from Cattle Decapitation's Testicular Manslaughter!) I think not!!
A Death Metallers only weakness is a haircut. This is due to them being related to such legendary long-haired warriors as Samson, Thor, Fabio and well-known Opeth fan Kenny G.
Those who decide to persue the art of Death Metal (or 'stabbing the badger') may decide to go beyond the outer regions of their local guitar store and into the back room, in order to meet with satan himself and purchase a 7-string guitar. This, as many Metal heads, Goths and Madonna fans will know, is the source of all True Death Metal Ability. It is written that World War II began when Hitler was given a 7-string for his 16th birthday.
Death Metal as a Weapon[edit]
This cock loves death metal.
Death metal is more dangerous than one of Bruce Lee's kicks, meaning it could destroy the entire universe with a shock wave of 700,000 beats per minute. Because of it's brutality, Death metal has been used in war for centuries, to brutally crush the enemy's eardrums and turn their balls to jelly. It's lethal properties have been described by fans as "Dude, this album slaughters babies!" or "Man, this track is more brutal than the holocaust." Death Metal should only be used under direct supervision of a parent, guardian or demonic overlord. Death Metal in some cases has been known to be used as a weapon against several other pussy forms of music, for example, Brittney Spears was exposed to 3.3 seconds of Death Metal song "Hammer Smashed Face" she went on to shave her her head and go into hiding, for she had almost died, her music was far too inferior.
Clean Death Metal[edit]
Clean death metal is just like 'Death Metal' but they also sing and play about cleaning up after massacring people with ice picks and hammers, Such Lyrics like "RIP YOUR GUTS OUT THEN EXTREME CLEANING WITH MY THROUGHLY AJAXS SOAKED CLOTHHHH!!!" This genre came out so people who like death metal are warned of the Effects of AIDS and salmonella whilst killing people. (See the song 'Brutally Disinfecting the Scab' By Brutal Disinfection.)

Best of the bush: Home is where the heart is
I had no idea what to expect. Last time I dropped over that last hill the place had been deserted. No signs of the road, not much of a track. Anthony Warry
by Roothy

3rd Oct 2015 12:00 AM
There's something about waking up perched on top of a sandhill looking over a salt lake as the sun pops over the horizon. The lake went from a dull sheen to a low pink as Milo turned shadow to green. Wow, I remember rolling over and thinking more sleep would be good but this sunrise would be better. And it was.
Boy was I comfortable though. I reckon I've got this camping thing nailed now, at least from a purely selfish point of view. It's all Darche basically, proven stuff and super comfortable for the err, bigger fella. Big swag in a big stretcher, no need for the awning down here in the dry old Mallee country in Victoria's western deserts.
Inside I've got my sheepskin rolled up for a pillow and the sleeping bag that started out underneath and wound up on top as the night chilled down. But I don't remember any of that, must have been on autopilot.
Anthony Warry
The night before we'd camped up late after a big day's drive. The lads were further down the hill, Kenno with the MDC set up for a cooking scene but the bloke himself swagging it on a stretcher like me and Gleno doing much the same next to his Disco. It's not that I'm anti-social but I'd done my usual trick and parked Milo up on the ridge for the morning view. It's always been my favourite time in the bush.
Not so much Melanie and Gav's though, although they know how to rock and roll before sunset when there's filming to be done. We'd filmed late the night before so I figured they'd be going the sleep in, comfortable as a couple of dingo cubs tucked up in their lair on top of the mighty 80 Series.
Trust me, after some of the most comfortable nights of my life and then waking up in glorious places like these Pink Salt Lakes I'm happy to let the world know what works for us!
It wasn't working for Anthony Warry though. Correction, it was, but he'd been so impressed with the wonders of the night sky he'd spent all night in and out of his swag doing time exposures over the salt lakes before setting up to capture the entire sun rise in glorious digital colour. You've probably noticed how good the photography is here at LowRange? That's our Anton, one of Australia's best outdoor photographers because he not only loves our country, he works harder at it than anyone else.
Anthony got his start with a pair of flippers photographing surfing competitions all around coastal Australia for 'Surfing Life' magazine before finally getting the chance to break free into the bush. A tough guy with a wonderful smile who's the total health freak of our group, Anton's photos deliver. Always. All we have to do is get him there!
I was pretty happy to get on the road and kick off our third LowRange show, because this time we were heading to the place I've always called home. Yep, up South Australia's spine to the Flinders Ranges.
Back to Flinders 1: The Roothy's LowRange crew head into the rough stuff
Once again, LowRange is all about doing things the way we want this time around and taking the team 'home' was going to be a big personal adventure for me as much as them. I had no idea what to expect, last time I dropped over that last hill the place had been deserted.
No signs of the road, not much of a track, I'd only managed to find it because of some inbuilt beacon picking a post between the hills in the distance. It'd been decades since the land was handed back to the original owners and not much had happened since. Well, not that I could see anyway.
Maybe that's OK, there's been tens of thousands of years where not a lot happened before Cpt. Cook showed up. The land might have gone back to sleep quite happily.
But we didn't. Not that morning anyhow. Camp was packed up pretty quick and we hit the road for the long haul to South Australia, spending a night off in a Broken Hill pub that gave us a chance to wash a few clothes in the hand basins before the punt straight west.
Now when I was a kid the Flinders Ranges area was accessed by dirt track. Mostly graded depending on the time of year and pretty good travelling by the outback standards of the day but it wasn't anything like it is now. Travellers back then, usually in the high ground clearance two wheel drives of the 1960s, would wave when they saw anyone coming because it was just so rare and camp wherever they wanted to just off the track.
These days the main route up from Adelaide is all sealed and tourist friendly and about as adventurous as a trip through the aisles of a supermarket.
That's not the way I wanted the lads - and lasses, sorry Mel! - to remember the Flinders so when we got to Yunta the convoy swung right up the dirt track north to Baretta and beyond. This is lonely country, pockmarked with old sandstone relics left by pioneers beaten by country they thought they could tame. But coming home through the backdoor meant other things too, including a camp site just off the track the way I remember all those decades ago.
We pulled up early evening and didn't see another vehicle that night, or most the day that followed. I cooked up the roast lamb you'll see on the DVD and yes, I burnt it something silly too. Not that it stopped it tasting brilliant, but I guess I had my mind someone else that night. The lads did their best to keep me on the ground though, mostly by keeping the beers flowing as we relaxed and sucked in air that nobody else had breathed. Big country this, bloody lucky we are!
However, as much as I wanted this to be a raw experience, I knew the lads wanted to do a bit of off-road driving too. The best place in the Flinders for the whole 4WD adventure thing has got to be Willow Springs and the Skytrek drive with its incredible views over Wilpena Pound, rocky gorges and scrabbling hills.
It's not comp truck hard, but it's not for the faint hearted and really, with the incredible hospitality of the Reynolds family - three generations on the same land with roots as deep as those huge ghost gums in the valleys - Skytrek is the must go place on anybody's Flinders trip.
With Brendan and Carmel's youngest daughter Michelle stepping more into the Skytrek roll and son Chris taking over the farming I reckon Willow Springs is one slice of Australia you can always trust to stay as nicely grounded in common sense as it is in sheer beautiful terrain.
I know our team loved it, because we sure had trouble rolling up the Darches next morning! Then everybody wanted showers - hey, it'd been a dusty few days! - before finally we got back on the road.
Wow, when I think back I don't even know how I'll fit everything from that trip on these pages without leaving room for Anton's photography. And truth be known his photos are probably going to tell the story better because for me a lot of this time was spent just thinking back to my childhood and remembering that feeling of being such a little piece of such a huge place.
So let's skip a whole lot of banter and let Mel and Gav's excellent footage tell the story the way nobody else can.
Back to Flinders 3: Roothy takes an emotional journey into the past
The homestead was there, they'd cleared up the tip paddock at some stage where a lot of my memories were quietly rusting away and there was a new air conditioned house tucked roughly where I'd learnt to shoot a twenty two pinging beer bottles off an old stump. Man things change in this country but not much shifts the country itself. Looming over the horizon was Mount Serle, the great saddleback hill that dominates this part of the land. I wanted to go see it up close, maybe even find the track I remembered as a kid.
There wasn't a lot going on out here in the 1960s. There'd be social occasions for the adults, maybe a barbecue - always lamb chops - with the neighbours from time to time. School was over the radio, old Pricey used to buzz the station in his Cessna with the door pulled off so he could get his shotgun out on the eagles pinching his lambs and my biggest memory was the hoo-haa surrounding a bloke called Donald Campbell who was heading back to Lake Eyre for another crack at the land speed record.
Like most of the people north of Adelaide it seemed, we loaded up the LandRover and went north to have a look. I was eight and that magnificent car the Bluebird and Campbell's 400mph plus runs tattooed itself on my brain. It's seems weird to say it now but this and Lawrence of Arabia on his Brough Superior motorcycle was for me all about being part of the biggest empire on earth, the British Empire. And Australia, with our endless supply of wool for the motherland's mills, was the frontier of that empire.
Twenty years later, watching Charlie marry Diana, I was ready to rip down the flag and hoist the Southern Cross in protest. Hmm, funny how life swings you around isn't it?
Right, but another memory from those good old days was that of the mad Canadian scientists - another frontier country - who spent half the year camped up on top of Mount Serle. They had this incredible little platform truck called a Haflinger, a crazy little two stroke thing that'd climb brick walls in a puff of smoke. I knew roughly where the track had been almost forty years ago and with not much more than a sense of familiar, I found enough of it to give the lads our own adventure up this mystical mountain. When we found what was left of their camp I felt like my whole life had done a circle and come back to where it began. Perched like an eagle over the backbone of the northern Flinders.
Powerful stuff but it's a powerful mountain, something the original inhabitants knew too well. This was where there was always water, this is where teenagers became men, this was the place that anchored their lives.
Back to Flinders 2: Roothy and the boys go for a camel ride. We don't know who to feel more sorry for, them or the camels.
OK, I'm going to go watch the LowRange Episode 3 DVD again, this time in all its Blu-ray glory if I can work out the Xbox anyway. Yes, it's personal, but LowRange is about sharing personal as much as it is about working with the best people and companies around. We hope that LowRange inspires you to get out and experience our great country for yourself.
See you on the tracks!

I saw you laughing on Saturday. You threw back your head and pierced the cacophony of the giant bookfair at the LA Conventions center with the uninhibited rumble of your joy. I didn't stop you, and I didn't introduce myself because there was a small circle around you and I felt like an outsider.
I didn't even know your name until a few months ago.
I get so confused about the way I'm learning poems and poets, so slowly it seems to be a drip, and with such wide gaps I feel like an imposter to even call myself a reader of poetry, much less a writer. How do I learn all the good poets in this lifetime?
Who first mentioned your name? I wish I could personally thank that friend, along with you, for writing. You're hardly an unknown what with that 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. Deep congratulations on those recognitions.
And now, thanks to someone I can't remember, I have your Lace & Pyrite: Letters from Two Gardens, co-written with Aimee Nezhukumatathil, and your Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude, a book I return to often, and gift to friends who are non-poetry readers. I trust they'll learn to love the form after reading you.
Simply, I've been gardening a lot and working on orchards and working with people in community in a place that is…it's sort of allowed me to think differently.
You've allowed me to think differently about trees, and grief, and plums. I wonder though, do you wish us to excavate your past poems to find this present joy? Can we learn how to be this gracefully grateful without living through your violence and pain? Am I cheating to sing joy with you if I didn't first hold your sorrow?
This is part of a series of gratitude letters to poets in celebration of National Poetry Month. You can read more about Ross Gay on his website.

Fintech, bitcoin, cryptocurrency
All the attention of the crypto community is focused on the Binance trading platform: how stable is the leading cryptocurrency exchange?
The fact that founder Sam Bankman-Fried's (now former billionaire) second largest cryptocurrency exchange faced insolvency within days and must be rescued by industry leader Binance through a takeover shows just how unstable the exchange and the business as a whole is. From a $32 billion valuation to bankruptcy in 10 months, FTX is setting negative records.
And now all eyes are on Binance. While FTX and Bankman-Fried were actually promoted in the media as saviors of the collapsed crypto industry in recent months (Voyager purchase; BlockFi purchase option; Bankman-Fried joins Robinhood), the situation has completely changed in a couple of weeks.
Bankman-Fried loses 94% of his $16 billion fortune and billionaire status in a matter of days, and the only one who can save him is his first investor, Zhao. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao is partly to blame for the competitor's collapse because he publicly questioned the value of the FTX FTT token (a kind of voucher for cheaper FTX deals).
Binance is the last major pillar of the crypto market
Binance seems to be the last surviving player on the list of companies that collapsed after the cryptocurrency collapse due to high inflation. First the crypto fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) collapsed due to the Terra/LUNA crash, then Voyager Digital, Celsius Network, BlockFi, Vauld or Nuri went bankrupt. They all had access to the Terra ecosystem. Then Bankman-Fried came into the spotlight with FTX and prepared to buy some of these companies (and thus get their users first). But now FTX itself is bankrupt. There is one strong player left on the market, Binance.
But how stable is Binance? With a trading volume of $45 billion per day and 16 million user visits per week, the cryptocurrency exchange has about ten times more relevant figures than competitors such as Coinbase, Kraken or FTX. The market share among centralized crypto exchanges is 50% or more.
In addition, BNB's own token (a service token similar to FTT to pay fees on the Binance exchange) with a market capitalization of $50 billion is the largest cryptocurrency in the world after bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether stabelcoin. Binance also owns the third largest stablecoin in the market, BUSD, and is trying to take market shares away from the two market leaders USDT and USDC.
Binance also became a major investor in Twitter with $500 million and created its own fund with another $500 million to bail out bitcoin mining companies. Theoretically, if Binance were also in trouble, it would be a threat to the entire crypto industry.
Binance itself is by no means unstable. For months, the company has been in the process of acquiring subsidiaries and licenses in dozens of countries, including Austria, Italy, Germany, and France.
So far, the crypto-exchange has operated from a virtual space and cannot even specify where the company's headquarters are located. Meanwhile, the head of Binance constantly moves between Paris and Dubai, promoting its business at conferences such as the Lisbon Web Summit.
The example of the Netherlands shows how dangerous this state of uncertainty is for Binance. There, the central bank imposed a fine of three million euros for Binance offering its services without the necessary permission from local authorities – and thus violating anti-money laundering regulations. The Netherlands could set a precedent, and so Binance is seeking more legal certainty in as many countries as possible. At the moment, it looks like Paris will become the company's European headquarters.
In the sight of the authorities
Regulators have long focused their attention on Binance. For example, the powerful U.S. authorities. In September 2022, it was announced via Reuters that U.S. judicial authorities had allegedly challenged the documents of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange regarding anti-money laundering measures back in 2020. The issue is particularly sensitive because Binance is said to have violated sanctions against Iran. According to Reuters, Binance helped Iranian companies trade for $8 billion despite the sanctions.
Money laundering and terrorist financing and related charges have been a long-standing problem at Binance anyway. Cryptocurrencies are popular with cybercriminals because of their perceived anonymity for moving value internationally. Also via Reuters in the summer of 2022, it was revealed that Binance was allegedly being used by hackers, fraudsters and drug dealers to launder $2.35 billion in crypto assets. Binance never denied this, but pointed out that the facts and figures in the report were wrong, adding, "Neither our industry nor Binance is perfect."
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is also interested in details about the Binance BNB token, which traders can use to get cheaper commissions for trading on the exchange – a kind of digital voucher. But is it really just a service token or is it more of a security representing a virtual stake in a crypto exchange? If it were, Binance would have illegally dumped the shares on the market.
Zhao tries to calm the market
Founder Zhao is fully aware that Binance is now in the spotlight because of a complaint against the exchange by French investors. He is eager to prove that all user deposits really exist and that there can be no stoppage of payments, as in the case of FTX. "SAFU Insurance Fund" (SAFU stands for "Safe Asset Funds for Users") will hold $1 billion in the form of BTC, BUSD and BNB.
Zhao is also trying to show that Binance is not like FTX. His company will not use user tokens as collateral, and they also will not provide crypto assets – all the things FTX, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, and other bankrupt companies did.

Great idea for a marketing tool. Everyone really seems to like them. The boss LOVES these. The scholars enjoy them and request for additional!


I don't have a lot of crystal clear memories of my father, but I do have a few. I remember him not wanting me to watch 'Revenge of the Nerds' when I was six years old – but letting me anyway. I remember him taking care of me when I got chickenpox. I remember him letting me eat too many chocolate covered marshmallows and me getting sick and never wanting to eat marshmallows ever again. I remember visiting him in the hospital near the end of his life and seeing him hooked up to a battery of tubes and machines.
But one memory stands out from all the rest of them in my mind. While visiting him in Los Angeles (I lived in the Bay Area with my Mom at the time) he took me to spend the day with him in the second grade class that he taught in a school in East LA. Aside from the fact that the school was a bit more run-down looking than the one I attended back home, the main difference I noticed was actually how well behaved and attentive the students were.
Now I know how difficult second graders can be, and this is no knock against my own teachers back then, but I was really amazed at how much control my dad had over his class. He didn't have to yell or scream or make threats. His students generally seemed to WANT to learn from him. Whether he was talking to the whole class, organizing an activity, or giving individual instruction to one of his students, the lack of chaos and commotion in his classroom was shocking to me. What kind of sorcery was he using to keep all these kids engaged and attentive? Bribery? Threats? Magic?
But as the day went on and I got a chance to see him in action, it slowly became clear to me. He wasn't a wizard. He was just a really really good teacher. He didn't allow troublemakers to disrupt his class. He didn't allow students to avoid joining the discussion. He made students feel comfortable asking questions if they didn't understand what was going on. He offered them rewards for good work, but didn't punishment them for bad work. And most importantly he presented the material in a way that was interesting and understandable – even to a second grader with a short attention span and raging hormones. While I had seen those qualities in him as a father growing up, it wasn't until that day that I realized how perfectly they translated into being a teacher.
Although he lost his battle with AIDS when I was seven years old, I've come to learn a lot more about him from friends and family since then. And while there is often a tendency to idealize loved ones who pass away before their time, it's especially hard not to do that when the person in question was an incredibly intelligent and ambitious person from a comfortable family who decided to devote his life to teaching underprivileged children in some of the roughest schools in the country.
Now I know that he wasn't a saint. No one is. We all have our faults and our strengths. But what I do know is that he genuinely enjoyed teaching and was incredibly good at it. It wasn't just a job for him. If it was, he would have taught in Bel-Air or Beverly Hills. Instead he decided to teach where he was needed most. And that says a lot about who he was and what he cared about. I have a feeling that all of the scholarship recipients today are cut from a similar mold. Teaching is a hard job and the rewards for success aren't monetary. Teachers are forced to do more with less every day and are constantly trying to find ways to provide their students with a good education in the face of budget cuts and bureaucracy. To be a good teacher you have to really believe in the work you're doing and the positive effect you can have on your students. If you're looking for a shorter workday and summers off – you probably aren't going to last very long.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who decides to spend their life teaching others, especially teachers who focus their efforts on those that are at the highest risk. I know that my father would be proud of all the help that his scholarship has provided – I know that I sure am.

Oxford celebrates retaining six Green Flag awards
Published: Monday, 25th July 2016
Oxford City Council has retained all six Green Flag awards for its parks.
The awards, which recognise the best green spaces throughout the country, have been given to Blackbird Leys, Bury Knowle, Cutteslowe & Sunnymead, Florence and Hinksey parks and St Sepulchre Cemetery.
In awarding the prize, the judges who visited Florence Park commented: "This is a lovely park with great views and an interesting history. It is clearly well used and the appreciated by the community."
Similarly, at St Sepulchre the judges commented on its "outstanding community involvement" to provide input on the park's facilities, maintenance and clearance. They said: "The website has proved to be a unique tool to attract wide range of visitors and engage with the community."
The six Oxford parks are among a record-breaking 1,686 parks and green spaces across the UK that have received prestigious Green Flag Awards.
The award, now celebrating its 20th year, recognises and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the country. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities.
Awards are given annually, with winners re-applying to renew their Green Flag Status. Each individual site is judged on its own merits, its sustainability and how it serves the community.
Councillor Linda Smith, Executive Board Member for Leisure, Parks and Sports, said: "It is a huge honour to retain Green Flag Status for our five flagship parks and St Sepulchre Cemetery.
"These awards are evidence of the hard work that the City Council's parks team puts in every day to maintain and improve the sites and the community involvement in them.
"Oxford's parks and open spaces are a great place to visit throughout the year, whether it's to have a picnic, use the play areas, see the beautiful flora and fauna, or catch Pokémon."
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: "We are delighted to be celebrating another record-breaking year for the Green Flag Award scheme, especially as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Awards.
"All the flags flying this year are a testament to the efforts of the thousands of men and women, both staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award."
A full list of award-winning parks can be found on the Green Flag Award website.

Further information about the award-winning parks:
Blackbird Leys Park was developed alongside the housing estate in the 1960s for the workers of the nearby Morris Motors Company, and is popular today with residents across Blackbird and Greater Leys. It offers two play areas, which includes a sand pit, slides, climbing wall and nets and double zip wire, traditional swings and play features.
Bury Knowle Park, situated in Headington next to the A420 London Road, was developed in the 1930s after the City Council bought Bury Knowle House and its grounds from Henry Beaufoy. The park offers a wide range of activities for all ages including the storybook tree, Narnia inspired play area and sensory garden.
Hinksey Park was also founded in the 1930s and is situated a 15 minutes' walk away from Oxford city centre, off the Abingdon Road. The park has an extensive range of features including: a free 'splash' feature, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, play area and sand pit.
Florence Park is located in East Oxford, five minutes' walk from Cowley Road. The park was opened in 1934 after the land was presented to the city by Councillor F.E. Moss, in memory of his sister Florence. The park has three play areas, tennis courts, miniature golf (charges apply), a kiosk and café. It's also renowned for its tree canopies and autumn displays.
Cuttleslowe and Sunnymead Park in North Oxford is the largest park in the city and has many activities for all ages, including; two large children's play areas, football pitches, a cricket square a duck pond, wildlife area and even a miniature railway.
St Sepulchre's Cemetery was opened in 1848 as a parish cemetery for four churches: St Giles, St Michael, St Mary Magdalen, and St Paul. The Friends of St Sepulchre's actively help maintain the churchyard through regular work parties and have carried out in-depth research on those buried in the grounds.

September 5, 2005 Snorkelling and diving is fun, but with the narrow view afforded by most dive masks, situational awareness and hence safety is greatly restricted. For over a decade, it has been Jon Kranhouse's mission to revolutionize underwater vision and to perfect his designs, Kranhouse hired the same engineers NASA sought to fix the once-fuzzy Hubble Space Telescope. It worked, and Hydrooptix first mask lets divers have a view almost five times wider than the view available through conventional flat masks and the vision is completely distortion free, significantly improving the vision, enjoyment, safety and situational awareness of the wearer.
In essence, a flat mask blocks over 75% of your view due to the combined refractive indexes of air, the mask's transparent material (usually glass) and water. The lenses of the Hydrooptix mask restore natural panoramic vision and enable the wearer to see almost five times more.
Due to the optics of the first mask, only naturally nearsighted divers (broad Rx range) can use the MEGA 4.5 mask with their naked eyes. But divers with perfect vision usually wear inexpensive disposable contact lenses in conjunction with the mask. By wearing contact lenses these divers become temporarily nearsighted and say that the incredibly wide and crisp view is worth the extra effort. Older divers love the Magic Bifocal phenomenon.
Now we haven't worn the mask - we're going solely from the vast number of testimonials on the site and from discussions with Jon Kranhouse. If you're an underwater regular, it's worth checking out the testimonials because they are overwhelming positive - there's several pages including testimonials from underwater VIPs, normal divers, optometrists, retailers and instructors.
"Already our first mask has been responsible for saving lives," says Kranhouse. "The increased situational awareness divers had while wearing our mask let them see snorkelers who were drowning."
The company hasn't rested on its laurels with the success of the first mask and has two new designs planned for release prior to the end of the year.


4 HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MONEY?
5 WHERE IS MY WEALTH CORNER?
No matter where you turn right now, you are still seeing images of a struggling economy. Even with the introduction of a new administration, politicians are quick to point out that the economy is far from fixed – and it is likely that the present economic downturn will continue for a while.
Take a deep breath for a moment.
Let's start off by saying, it's okay. While you don't want to ignore the money concerns in your life, creating negative feelings about them is not going to help.
Why do you think billionaires such as Richard Branson and Donald Trump have turned to Feng Shui in the past as a way stimulating their prosperity? If they use it, then you can too!
When times get tough, you might start to think that nothing's ever going to improve. This in turn creates a cycle of negative thinking. Hey, we all do it. We begin to think about the worst case scenarios in regards to money and to our futures.
rest of my life and even then what if I get sick? How will I pay for it?" Etc.
When you focus your attention on what you DON'T have, you create the energy of not having. Seems pretty common sense, doesn't it?
What you need to do is to turn your mind around and turn your mind onto the idea of having plenty, of having enough to satisfy all of your desires and needs.
This means you need to work on your internal Feng Shui and your internal energies.
Take inventory of all that you have in your bank accounts, investment accounts, etc.
Since like attracts like, the energy of having enough will help to attract the resources you need to continue that sensation of stability and calm – no matter the financial storm.
Once you've begun to change your internal Feng Shui, it's time to start looking at another common thought process that many people have – a fear there is not enough to go round.
Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? At least, on some level.
We think that there are trillions of people in the world and we can't all have enough, so WE'RE the ones that will somehow not have the money we need to have.
Within this world is enough money to give everyone 'enough' by any definition. But you've probably noticed this doesn't happen on a daily basis. Some people starve, while others thrive.
This disparity in wealth is a completely different issue for another time, but since less than 5% of the world has 90% of the wealth, according to some estimates; it seems there is certainly enough money to go around.
What you should also keep in mind is that the needs of your family may not be the same needs as the family down the street. After all, Bill Gates of Microsoft doesn't need the same amount of money that you do.
Because we all require different versions of 'enough,' there will always be enough wealth to attend to these different needs. Think about the different costs of living and how they vary. $100 might go a lot further elsewhere than it does where you are now.
Another thing many people need to recognize is that while having a lot of money might be the dream, having 'enough' doesn't necessarily mean you will be rich beyond your dreams and swimming through piles of money.
Having enough equates to having all of your basic needs attended to, while also having enough on the side to do things that make you happy.
There is enough money to go around. Changing your mindset to understand this in a logical manner will help to further improve your energy in relation to money and to the wealth you want to bring into your life.
The money's out there, waiting for you.
Have you ever done something similar? You've seen a flashy car and just for a second, you've questioned how that person has acquired enough money to purchase such an extravagant status symbol. Was it through drugs or profiting off the backs of others or by some other unscrupulous means?
See what's happening here? Subliminally, you have equated money with evil and with bad people. It's no wonder people find it difficult to bring money into their lives. No one wants to be a bad person, but when you tell yourself that it's a qualification of being wealthier, you limit yourself and your potential.
After all, many people who are wealthy spend their money on charities and on positive causes, trying to do some good in the world. Take Bill and Melinda Gates – they are two of the World's biggest philanthropists donating a whopping proportion of their wealth to their chosen charities.
What are your thoughts and feelings about money? Take a few moments to consider how you feel.
The truth is that most people have mixed emotions about money because you've probably had positive and negative experiences with it. For example, you might have gotten mad when your mortgage payment went up, so you cursed money. But when your salary also went up, money was the good guy again.
In order to stimulate the energy of money and of abundance in your life, you need to look at money as a positive force. And it is.
By seeing money as something that does good and that is a force that can make you happy more often than not, you can begin to see how it not only is something you should welcome in your life, but it's also something you should avoid criticizing.
After all, that richer person with the fancy car has the money to buy something lovely – and that's their prerogative. Think about their car payments – maybe that's not something you want in your life anyway. But recognizing that it's not the money that's the negative power is what will change your life (and your check book) completely.
Start picturing money as positive, helpful, abundant, etc. – and that's exactly what it will become in your life too!
WHERE IS MY WEALTH CORNER?
Finding the right place to focus your energy in your home is an essential step in using Feng Shui in your home.
The eight sided Ba Gua is a powerful tool, but if you're not quite sure where the wealth corner is, how can you ever get started?
The wealth corner of your rooms and your home is located in the furthest left hand corner from your doorway or entrance to the room. This is the corner where you will want to apply Feng Shui cures for wealth and generally pay attention to during tougher financial times.
Right now, it might be a good idea to head to this corner of your home's rooms or of your office where you are generally making money.
What does this corner feel like?
What is missing from this corner?
Is this corner hard to find?
What is negative about this corner?
What is positive about this corner?
In taking just a few moments to evaluate this corner of your home, you will begin to get a sense of what might need to change in order to bring more money energy into your life.
I've just looked at the wealth corner of my office whilst writing this and, to my horror, found that I've got a paper shredder sitting there. Shredding my wealth literally! Well, even us Feng Shui consultants get it wrong from time to time!
So, head to wealth corner now and take a peak!
One of the biggest issues in everyone's homes is too much clutter. Honestly, how many times have you searched for hours for something you could have sworn was on the counter just a few days ago?
Our lives are so busy and so chaotic at times that we simply can't always keep things as clean and as junk free as we might like.
But in terms of holding onto positive energy, it's essential that we begin to take steps to clear out the things which might be holding us back. When we have too much clutter in an area, we are creating a place for energy to simply sit and stagnate.
When energy does this, it can't move freely in our lives and in our homes, potentially holding back our ability to attract wealth and abundance.
Let's start off slowly and begin to clear away these piles of potential chaos.
Start in your Wealth Corner – Look at this corner now to see what might be piling up. If you see clutter, it's time to remove it and put it into its respective places. This is not the time to simply move the clutter away and into another part of your home (we'll talk more about how this can still affect your wealth potential later….).
Remove anything that does not need to be where it is – It's easy to spread out your things when you need to use them for a specific purpose, but when you are trying to allow for Wealth energy to move freely in your life, it's holding you back.
Get rid of things which aren't working and which aren't serving a purpose – That old broken radio? It's time to toss it or fix it. Whenever you hold onto something that's useless or broken, you are attracting the same type of energy. And you don't want to attract brokenness when it comes to your money, do you?
Organize your bills and other money related items – With all of the paper we receive for our financial decisions, it's no wonder we are often buried in paperwork and bills. But to help establish a positive and flowing energy pattern for your finances, it's time to create a system that works for you and for your life.Get a file folder, for example, and create different sections for the bills you need to pay and the papers you need to file. Not only will you ensure you pay your bills on time, creating a healthy credit rating and financial history, but you will also be allowing your money matters to be clutter free!By looking after your bills and statements, you are saying to the Universe 'hey, I can handle money so send me some more'.
But the real key to clutter control is keeping it up! You will want to spend a little time each day trying to keep your counters clutter free and to keep your living and working spaces free from obstacles.
Think of it this way, each time you leave something in the way of energy, you block the possibility and the opportunity for more money and financial stability in your life.
And as an added bonus, you will not only have a cleaner and more peaceful home, but you will also begin to see the things you already have accumulated in your life. Too often, we forget we have and thus think we are doing without.
That is far from the case.
By taking a few minutes each day to keep things tidy, you will reap the benefits in your money matters (I can assure you of this).
If you need further tips on how to clear clutter and a solid game plan to kick start the clutter clearing process, please click here for a system that will finally help you get control.
It will help you reach the goal of an orderly, peaceful living space with 'all the comforts of home'.
If you stop to think about it, money does affect all aspects of our lives. From the people we take care of to the kinds of jobs we choose, money is a part of many of the decisions we make and the experiences we have.
Thus, while it might be easier to start with the Wealth Corner of our homes, it can't be the only place we direct our energies and our efforts.
Looking at the other areas of the Ba Gua will also make a difference to our financial well being.
In this area, it can help to include pictures of those who are wealthy, perhaps even placing your picture on top of theirs.
Or you might want to create a headline for a future newspaper that proclaims an upturn in the financial markets.
Create a fake newspaper article that talks about your own financial success story.
Use pictures of happy financial times to decorate this area, or display items you've bought with a partner during financial booms.
Post images of things you and your partner want to do when you have the money available – vacations, items you want to buy, etc.
In terms of bolstering the energy of your relationship with money, try lighting two red candles in this corner to stimulate growth in relation to your money.
In this section, try adding artwork that enhances the energy of creativity in this area. This will enhance that positive flow of creativity in relation to money and finances.
Try adding pictures of your children in times when they had all they needed financially.
In this area, you should think about keeping a list of the people who can help you should you have troubles with money. Of course, you might never need this list, but knowing you have a Plan B is always a good thing.
Since your career and wealth are inextricably entwined, you will want to make sure this area is as clean as possible, so that energy can flow easily in this location.
Try decorating this area with green and blues to enhance the energies as well as the calm in relation to career and money.
You might also want to keep your pay stubs in this area so as to attract the energy of more money coming your way, as it already does now.
Try adding a water feature, like a fountain, to this space as it stimulates the energy and helps to boost your career prospects.
In this location, you might also want to keep positive books and other tools that can help you with your financial questions. In this way, you're never going to struggle because you don't have the right information. I like to keep a couple of Suze Orman's money related books here.
Again, have pictures or symbols of family times when money was not an issue. This will help to continue to attract the energy of positive feelings in relation to money and the home.
Consider a plant that you take care of regularly, as a symbol of yours and your family's financial growth and health.
It is crucial that this area be as clear as possible so that energy can easily pass through and flow to other areas of your home.
Try hanging a crystal from the center of the ceiling to spread the energy throughout the room.
Of course, it's always better when you have a list of what will enhance your prosperity and wealth energy, isn't it? Here are some of the top cures and symbols you can use in your home today to help attract money energy and help you to keep the money you have now during this credit crunch.
Make Sure Your Entrances are Clear – When your doorways are blocked in some way (either with physical objects or poor hinges), you are blocking energy and more importantly opportunities for wealth from entering your home.
Colors – Green and turquoise are associated with wealth, thus you should try to incorporate those colors into your decorating ideas as well as outfits you choose. It can't hurt, after all.
Jade Plant or Money Tree – These lush green plants are strong energetically in relation to wealth and abundance. Try placing one of these in your Wealth Corner, taking care to ensure it is alive and thriving over time.
Wind Chimes – When you use 6 cylinder wind chimes, you will encourage energy to flow in your life and scatter to all spaces of your experience. Always use a 6 cylinder wind chime as 5 can actually block energy flow.
Fish Tank with Goldfish – Setup a fish tank with 9 goldfish in it – eight gold and one black, if possible. This water energy will stir up your wealth flow quickly.
Lighten Up – If you notice any parts of your home are naturally dark, you might want to find ways to brighten them up. Add candles or lighting to ensure energy is able to move freely in these spaces.
Get Rid of Dying Plants – Symbols of death and demise are not what you want in your home when you are trying to encourage financial health. Remove anything that might be dying or do your best to nurse it back to health.
Memories – If you have paperwork of past money failures, try to remove it from your home. This will only attract more negative money concerns and you don't need to do that!
red wallet as red will help energize your finances.
But the most important thing you can do is to sit and think about how your living space and office feels to you. If either of these spaces feels stagnant, dank or dark, you need to look for ways to get the energy moving again.
Try opening up your windows from time to time, for example, to let new energy in.
Listen to your intuitive thoughts about the way things feel – and the money energy will be boosted as a result!
In order to create a blank slate for your new financial future of prosperity and confidence, you might want to perform this little ritual on a daily basis. Don't worry, it only takes a few minutes to complete.
Use a smudge stick or incense to cleanse your home, focusing on the Wealth Corner. Picture the negative energies of this area disappearing as the smoke fills the room.
You can then ring a bell to future scatter the energy of your intention in your home, or simply smudge again to ensure you are starting each day with a clean slate.
Money worries are a regular topic for discussion in the current climate, but when you learn about the ways Feng Shui can help, you will rest easier. And so will your check book!
Wishing you abundance in all areas of your life!
