Unquestionably, the most important part of any given weekend is brunch. Call me basic if you must, but there are very few things that make me happier than some Eggs Benedict with a mimosa on a sunny weekend morning. But brunch isn't really only about the food these days, is it? It's all about the full experience: the atmosphere, the outfits, the crazy creative cocktails… and most of all, the perfect Instagram moment (again, you are fully permitted to call me "basic" at this point… I think I'm even rolling my eyes at myself). So for my readers who live in, or are planning a trip to, Atlanta any time soon – here are my Top 5 spots around the city to capture the perfect picture… while stuffing your face with some delicious food! I shared this list with my friends at Canopy by Hilton a few weeks ago, and now I'm sharing it with you!
When it comes to a great breakfast, brunch or coffee experience, Bread & Butterfly is the go-to spot in Atlanta. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I'm there pretty much all the time, and the entire experience is always worth it: from the amazing, flaky croissants (the best in town, in my opinion), to the gorgeous, emerald green interiors… I'm always snapping and eating simultaneously, in true blogger fashion!
Make sure you grab a seat in the sunroom, especially when the weather is nice out! They'll open up the doors, and you can have your meal with a view, right in the heart of Inman Park – one of my favorite neighborhoods!
If you've ever wondered, "how early is too early in the day for tacos?" Bartaco is here to tell you that yes, there is a God, and wants you to have tacos before noon. With two locations in the Atlanta area (the other being in Inman Park), beautiful white-washed interiors with wicker basket details, and of course hands-down THE BEST tacos in town… you haven't REALLY lived in Atlanta until you've popped into Bartaco on a Sunday morning… or a Friday evening… or lunchtime on a Wednesday, whatever floats your boat!
St Cecilia is located in the heart of Buckhead, Atlanta's home to high-end shopping and ritzy dining. So, if you're feeling a little less hungover and a little more fancy, St Cecilia is where it's at! With a fresh-pressed juices and a menu that walks the line between Italian farmhouse and classic Southern favorites, this is one of my favorite places to go in town for birthday brunches and girl friend get-togethers.
Another Buckhead favorite: if you've ever visited The Shops Buckhead Atlanta, you can't miss Le Bilboquet… it's basically like, the cutest little French dining oasis right in the center of all the high-end shopping action! With street-side seating lining the perimeter of the restaurant and an interior that is TO DIE FOR (hello, blue velvet couches), you'll be sure to get a dining experience that's a treat for your eyes AND your taste buds. My favorite thing off the brunch menu is the Eggs Florentine with Smoked Salmon. They're also open for lunch and dinner!
The General Muir puts a modern spin on the classic New York deli, with great breakfast options and tiled interiors that are to die for! I'm not out in Decatur very often, but when I am… this is always one of my favorite spots to pop in for breakfast, lunch…. or, ya know, brunch.

"From acclaimed biographer and cultural historian, author of For the Soul of France ("Masterful history...hard to put down."-Henry Kissinger); Zola ("Magnificent." --The New Yorker); andFlaubert ("Impeccable."-James Wood, cover, The New York Times Book Review)-a brilliant reconsideration of the events and the political, social, and religious movements that led to France's embrace of Fascism and anti-Semitism. Frederick Brown explores the tumultuous forces unleashed by the Dreyfus Affair, and examines how the clashing ideologies and the blood-soaked political scandals and artistic movements following the horror of World War I resulted in the country's era of militant authoritarianism; and how rioting, violent racism, and nationalistic fervor overtook France's sense of reason, sealed its fate, and led to the rise of the Vichy government. We see how the French intelligentsia turned away from the humanistic traditions and rationalistic ideals of the Enlightenment in favor of submission to authority that stressed patriotism, militarism, and xenophobia; how French conservatives attempted to rebuild and reshape the country's collective identity as the German threat loomed, as mistrust of the parliamentary Republic increased (a result of its illegal financial mismanagement of the building of the Panama Canal, and nostalgia for a monarchial government and the glories of wartime martyrdom); how the generation that came of age in the trenches, under fire, offered a new vision, and saw salvation in the surrender of reason to instinct.

Everything you've ever heard about giraffes was false. Seriously, a horse-like animal with long legs, a long neck, a long tongue, two mushroom-lookin horns on its head, and spots? Sounds like something from a Dr. Seuss book. There is no such thing as giraffes. What?! You don't believe me?! Alright, I don't blame you. That deception was laughably transparent and substantial evidence exists to disprove me. However, what if I told you that we all tell equally ridiculous lies every day, and that 83% of those lies, are lies that we tell ourselves? Would you believe that?
This is true. There is an inherent comfort with dishonesty that has become very prevalent among my peers and our culture. But what are the purposes for dishonesty? Even when someone is looking us in the face, begging to hear the truth, we still lie. I intend to attempt to provide adequate incentive to persuade people to stray from the path of dishonesty, and to begin to live more honestly in speech, action, and intention, both internally with themselves and externally with one another.
What is the purpose of deception? Deception is a natural occurrence. Many organisms employ deceptive devices as a means of survival (i.e. camouflage, mimicry, distraction). Humans have evolved to a point where for lives such as ours, we are no longer survival organisms in the primitive sense. So, by that logic, we should take it upon ourselves to utilize our consciousness to make decisions deserving of our heightened state. When dishonesty is used in human interaction, it is usually for the purposes of monetary gain, or for avoiding discipline or consequence. So we lie for purposes that would be unnecessary if we had honestly expressed ourselves in the first place.
Deception and manipulation lead to the proliferation of self-doubt and guilt, which diminishes self-respect and self-confidence. Furthermore, it puts at risk the trust necessary for good relationships. On a neurological level, dishonesty requires elevated cognitive effort in the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain used to interpret stimuli to produce a schema, or a "conceptualization of an organizational pattern or structure". Thus when a person lies, they are actually creating a false reality in their own minds. So, a person can literally lie so much that they believe themselves.
Additionally, a 1994 series of studies at University of Delaware and the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have shown that there is a correlation between a person's honesty and their perceived level of intelligence relative to others. The smarter a person thinks he or she is, the more honest they will be toward someone of lower perceived intelligence. So, in reciprocal, the less intelligent are more likely to be dishonest toward someone they perceive to be more intelligent, I would infer, as a means of self-embellishment for the sake of competition.
Neurologically, we are affected by morality in our embodied states. A 2012 study here in the UK, gave participants a description of a moral event prior to rating the same neutral tasting beverage (Lemon Water). When told of moral transgressions the beverage was rated the beverage with disgust. When told of morally neutral control events it was rated medium. When told of moral virtues, the beverage was rated highly delightful. This shows that the moral perspective of a person's mentality given an abstract conceptual representation can directly affect their embodied cognition. I have observed this myself in recognizing that those who lead lifestyles of depravity and moral disharmony are often plagued by ill-favored events and negative personalities. What some might call "Karma" is actually just neurological distress from creating a dissonance in their cognition from what they know is right.
Taking a social perspective, from the European Journal of Social Psychology, from multiple authors: "Research on the fundamental dimensions of social judgment, regardless of the task goal, showed that traits related to morality and sociability are differently processed." When asked to form an impression of someone, regardless of their own moral perspective, people are more interested in obtaining information about morality rather than sociability. Furthermore, the traits of honesty, sincerity and trustworthiness were more vital than friendliness or likeability, even among those people whose peers considered them to be dishonest and untrustworthy.
To roll all of this together into the greater point, I would implore everyone to begin to recognize the value and importance of honesty and morality, and to put forth effort to live in an honest way. This requires more than just telling the truth. This means being true to yourself in speech, thought, and action. This means having a positive desire to recognize your own shortcomings and putting forth honest effort to make improvements in yourself. To behave in a way that is contrary to reality is very easy; to behave cocky, arrogant, conceited, content (in lifestyle). But to honestly express yourself to actually attain a state of happiness and confidence through your actions is much more difficult and much more rewarding.
In conclusion, I have demonstrated how dishonesty and immorality have distinct physiological, neurological, emotional, and social consequences. I have described how behaving in a moral and honest way can result in the propagation of self-respect and positive life perspectives. I hope that I have given you reason to be honest whenever possible, to yourself, as well as to the people around you. I trust that you will use the scientific evidence provided to adjust your own mentality. I am brutally honest more often than not, and I'm always recognizing that things go much more smoothly, and without error, than if I had been dishonest.

This month Go Health opened its first health club in the Northview Shopping Centre, Northwold – the first of 40 clubs to be opened in major metropolitan areas nationwide by 2019.
The group's initial plan is to gain 20% of existing market share.
"In line with our vision, Go Health has a fresh, clean and modern look and will embrace technology, recognising the needs of today's consumer," said Justin Williamson, chair of Go Health.
According to Williamson, the group is aiming to assist in re-pricing the local health club market by providing not only a great health club environment, but also a sound business proposition.
"Most competitor health clubs have swimming pools, which are very expensive to install, maintain and keep heated and use significant electricity," explains Williamson, by way of example.
Grindrod Bank owns 49% of Go Health, while the remaining shareholding is made up of prominent local and international investors, as well as management and staff sharing in 15% of the value of the company.
Williamson said the ability to get suitable new sites with long-term leases will be among the group's challenges.

Q: Is There A Way To Delete Files As They Are Being Extracted With 7-zip? Currently I'm sitting at a nice 62gb of free space with a zipped folder taking up 44gb, My current problem is that it needs to be extracted and I just barely don't have enough free space to do so. I've done all the cleaning and optimizations I could to my storage so the next obvious solution would be to delete the files as they are being extracted but I don't exactly know how I would go about doing that with 7-zip. I've already done a little searching on this problem to see what I could do and will continue to do so but I thought it would be smart to ask and see if someone might have a solution already to a similar problem

A: It's a bit of a stretch, but according to the 7-zip forum, you could temporarily change the temp folder to an external drive, although the message thread suggests that it won't work.
A bit more research shows that the program doesn't use a temp folder if you are specifying a destination folder. Drag and drop apparently does use a temp folder.
An easier way to approach this might be to use a high capacity flash drive to hold the zip file and extract it to your destination. A sufficiently high capacity drive (128 GB) may allow you to contain both the zip file and allow you to extract it to the flash drive.

Martin Ucik, Author of Integral Relationships, in Discourse with Integral New York
Notes from the Field / January 2012
Barbara Larisch and Robin Reinach
Barbara Larisch
Robin Reinach
Does Integral make us happier? Martin Ucik questioned at the beginning of his presentation to Integral New York on Oct. 17, 2011. This issue hung in the air throughout Ucik's presentation at iNY's beautiful new home at One Spirit Interfaith on West 36th Street. Our long rectangular room was packed with double the usual number of participants, sitting in rows of chairs lined tightly together, instead of our usual loose circle. This swell in participation is attributable to the topic of Ucik's book: Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men. A remarkable number of people—both men and women—turn out for presentations that promise to shed light on romantic relationships. At the outset of his talk, Ucik admitted that his book was written for men, as the subtitle clearly proclaims. Further, Ucik explained that his book began as a personal inquiry into his own misadventures and challenges in maintaining a sustainable romantic relationship.
After Ucik's marriage of fourteen years dissolved, Ucik felt befuddled and confused. Entering the singles scene, he was immediately struck by how much the landscape had changed since the last time he had sought a partner. These changes occurred had over time and across cultures. The iNY audience was introduced– through a series of slides – to Ucik's family of origin in Germany. Born in 1957 into a middle class family that he characterized as living together in harmony through the use of strict BLUE/ amber structure, Ucik found the changing gender roles in the US quite different from his childhood experience where Father ruled the roost, Mother knew her place, and the rest of the family fell into the roles expected of them. Ucik's sense of humor was engaging as he shared with iNY his shock upon arriving in the US and beginning to date. The audience laughed with Ucik, easily empathizing with his confusion and dismay at the current state of romantic relationships in 21st Century America.
As women and Integralists, we both admired Ucik's honesty and his willingness to be vulnerable. We further appreciated the fact that he shared his first-person perspective with such humility and good humor. This first person openness was quite unexpected, given that many people have remarked that Ucik's manual on Integral Relationships is incredibly dense and presented entirely from a third-person perspective. Perhaps Ucik is aware of this feedback about the limitations of 3rd person perspective, and he is already incorporating additional perspectives in response. That would be wonderful—an example of an Integral feedback loop working the way we hope it will: as true discourse where aspects of each perspective offered can widen and deepen the theory. Ucik may well be learning from participants in his presentations; evidence points toward this idea as Ucik directly expressed awareness that his speeches had been triggering to participants in the past. This reactivity, which Ucik has come to expect in a good natured way, also arose in the field of the Integral New York audience. Fortunately, reactions ranged from humorous and well-intentioned skepticism to a heartfelt desire to challenge some common assumptions about gender that Ucik (to these authors) seemed all too ready to embrace.
During his 60 minute PowerPoint presentation, gender stereotyping made Ucik's speech funny and accessible, but came dangerously close to caricature. Bursts of laughter and spurts of emotional energy from the audience accompanied Ucik's presentation, engaging the audience at the cost of a more nuanced and deep exploration of gender issues. In this spirit of fun, Ucik kicked off his presentation by treating the room to a series of fun facts about relationships:
86 Million Americans (44% of the adult population) are considered to be single.
Over 30 Million adults are trying to find a partner on-line.
Approx. 50% of marriages in America will end in divorce.
Only about 3-15% of Americans are having a really good time in their relationships.
Two thirds of divorces are filed by women.
Men suffer more emotionally after a breakup.
The resulting suicide rate of divorce fathers is ten times higher than that of divorced mothers.
Women read 95% of all relationship books.
A series of guffaws accompanied these "facts." (How can we possibly know that women read 95% of relationship books? And yet, there is a kind of truth revealed by this statistic, isn't there?) Knowing chuckles bubbled up in acknowledgement of clichéd statistics clearly pointing to troubled relationships, with stereotypical women reading up on how to fix them.
Next, with his usual candid charm, Ucik warned that his book was based on heterosexual relationships and had arisen from his particular masculine point of view. Here again, the authors appreciated Ucik's candid acknowledgment of his own filters and the unavoidable effect of his personal perspective on the body of his work. The style of Ucik's presentation seems to have transcended the style and content of his book. Again, this appears to be evidence that Ucki's personal evolution is being impacted by his interactions with responses to his work.
Continuing to look under the surface of relationship for motivations, Ucik gave a passing nod to Jung's concept of anima, animus. Next he began to do a workmanlike job of deconstructing motivation and relationship patterns, using AQAL terminology. We were encouraged to ask what lines of intelligence were necessary and or helpful for "good" relationships: interpersonal, psychosexual, spiritual? We looked at relationship through the lenses of quadrants, and then we asked how levels of consciousness relate to choice of mate. There was a brief explanation of the metaphor ladder, climber, view as applied to relationships, along with a whirlwind tour of SDi.
Primary Fantasies and Male/Female Differences
Ucik's summary of his theory began with the assertion that men wanted "sex" objects and women wanted "success" objects. (One author was attending the presentation with a PhD biologist friend who immediately whispered, "Men want reproductive objects.") Ucik defined the kind of success women look for in men as: social status, power, height, and wealth/earning potential. Focusing on the economic aspect of success, Ucik asserted that a problem had arisen (according to his statistics) because there simply are not enough men with a monetary "success" level to satisfy the number of women looking for "successful" men.
Using research from Warren Farrell's book, Ucik presented us with a compelling graph. The distribution of income in the US was illustrated using a bell curve and it showed that most men (on average) earn $35,000/year while the majority of women are typically attracted to men who earn $150,000/year or more. This creates an obvious imbalance (think supply and demand) and leads to stiff competition among women for the wealthier, more powerful men. It also means that many "average" income men are not considered desirable by women. A quick survey of this situation shows how both men and women can easily find themselves alone simply because they don't live up to each other's unrealistic criteria for success or attractiveness. There are leagues of women who can't find men who make over $150,000 to mate with, and leagues of men who have insufficient resources (less than $150,000 annual salary) to attract women. This situation is clearly a cultural recipe for loneliness and disappointment. Ucik points to this dynamic as a huge cultural shadow. As women, the authors are well aware of these modern remnants of our biological conditioning and the painful power discrepancies that arise because of them. Like Ucik, we find these conditions difficult to bear.
In a recent newsletter, Ucik described his personal experience:
"I admit that I was quite upset and frustrated in the past when I was rejected by attractive women because of my average income, low social status, and for having children (and if I hear the same from other men). Now that I understand the difference in our cultural background and the real or perceived necessity for women to be with men in the top income brackets, I no longer get upset. Instead, I feel compassion, as I know from being a dating coach how hard and frustrating it is for most single women to find/attract and keep a high earning man (if you need more evidence read Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb or one of the many other books for modern women seeking successful men)."
Perhaps it might be meaningful to explore whether these 'primary fantasies' and gender stereotypes still hold true within the Integral community. For example, do our expectations still contain shadow elements to some extent, or have we succeeded in transcending and including our basic biological drives and dispositions? If so, what would that look like? Can we Integralists –through the use of awareness and higher level wisdom—acknowledge that these primary fantasies exist and embrace the healthy expression of our biological drives while still honoring the Other? Aren't most acts of consciousness expansion dependent upon our ability to choose not to behave on auto pilot, in accordance with instructions encoded into our genes to ensure the survival of our ancestors?
According to Ucik, fantasies about the ideal mate have the potential to evolve along with the rest of our thinking. There is a chance, he asserts, that what men consider to be "sexy" and/or attractive will change in the decades to come. Ucik also hopes that women's perceptions about what they need from men as partners can evolve away from money and status to allow lower income, lower status men to participate in relationships. Paradoxically, women who are financially independent currently represent a unique challenge to men, and Ucik does his best to coach men on how to navigate this terrain in the section of his book dedicated to Levels of Growth.
Levels of growth seem extremely important for harmony in relationship. Shared interests and values promote more flow and less conflict, if smooth sailing is the goal in relationship. However, even if the standards for sex objects and success objects are lowered to a more realistic level, we will only see less attractive women meet and feel OK about less wealthy, lower status men. These relationships will still be occurring between sex objects and success objects, however much more pragmatically calibrated. What seems painfully missing is the I/Thou relationship as described by Martin Buber. Where is the second person perspective? How can we talk about relationship without using the lens of 2nd person perspective? Ucik's book gives us a thorough 3rd person analysis of relationships through AQAL lenses, and his talk added the authenticity of 1st person perspective. But the 2nd person perspective has yet to be been addressed.
Remember the question Ucik posed at the outset of his presentation: Does Integral make us happier? It seems that people in I/It relationships (trading goods for services, attractiveness for economic power etc) are less likely to be happy than people in I/Thou relationships. And by the way, whatever happened to love? Not the tired cliché, but the powerful appreciation and connection that do not rely on an exchange of worldly goods. Is this where transcend and include comes to life? What does love look like at each level of the spiral?
Sex-Based Emotional Reactions: The Female Fear-Male Shame Dynamic
Continuing to bring up main points from his book, Ucik cited fear as a primary driving force for women, and shame as a primary driving force for men in relationships. In his book, Ucik describes how a woman's fear of abandonment gets triggered when communication breaks down and she no longer experiences an emotional connection with her mate. Acting from mainly an unconscious level, the woman starts to withhold sex, nag, criticize and challenge her partner (or passive-aggressively ignore him) without having a clue how she is undermining the partnership by doing so. According to Ucik, Patricia Love & Steven Stosny (authors of How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It) see these negative tactics that arise from a state of despair as "critical and demeaning" to men and we can only assume that they contribute to the male's downward spiral of shame. How a man reacts to these desperate and frustrated attempts by women to receive reassurance and support are critical to the health and the well being of the relationship. Unfortunately, most men will respond by either withdrawing or getting angry – and both reactions are unconscious attempts to protect oneself from the female partner's ongoing emasculations.
On the other hand, it may be helpful to remember that both genders experience shame and fear. Depending on type, level and life circumstances these emotions arise and fall along with many others. It seems hard to justify assigning either gender a preference for shame or fear in relationship style—there are just too many variables. Take the Enneagram system, for example. As most of you know, the nine personality types are divided into three core groups: the Instinctive Center (with the core emotion being Anger or Rage, the Feeling Center (with the core emotion being Shame) and the Thinking Center which has Anxiety or Dread at its core.
An examination of the fear/shame dynamic is undoubtedly useful, but it may be helpful to point out that not all couples therapists agree that fear of abandonment is the driving force of unhappiness and despair in relationships. Fortunately, Ucik agrees with this premise, although he didn't provide much context for this alternative view in his presentation. To his credit, Ucik lists David Schnarch's book, Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships as a resource for post-conventional couples in the back of his book. However, some might argue that Schnarch offers an integral approach to couples therapy and we believe that this might be an area well worth exploring further. Coincidentally, Schnarch has the lead article in this month's Psychotherapy Networker. In regard to the fear and shame of clients in couple therapy, he has this to say:
"Thirty years of working with couples and observing the limitations of this attitude [bad behavior in troubled relationships stems primarily from good intentions gone wrong] has led me to develop an approach not focused on clients' fears, insecurities, or wounded "inner child," or on the deficiencies of their early attachments. Instead, it reflects the idea that people typically don't hurt each other because they're out of touch, unable to communicate, or can't help themselves because of their early experiences: they usually know the harm they're doing, and often it is quite deliberate. Rather than triggered by fear, shame, or insecurity, people do hurtful things with impunity and entitlement to gratify their own needs and wishes. It's not that they're "unconsciously recreating their past," it's that they're engaging in the form of relationship with which they're most familiar, one that, in fact, they prefer."
Identifying Stages of Sex
From the bottom of the spiral upward, Ucik summarized sexuality as it manifested at each stage: repressed, fucking whatever I can get away with, sex as an agreement, lovemaking as an expression of deepest connection, and finally transcendent sex, as described by Jenny Wade in her book of the same name. Can success objects and sex objects ever manifest a level above sex as an agreement? It seems unlikely. In order to reach higher stages of sex such as "lovemaking" as described here, an "I/Thou" relationship is necessary. On the other hand, it may be possible to briefly access a state experience of lovemaking or transcendent sex from earlier developmental levels.
State experiences of love are very common, and we even have a language distinction for the difference between being "in love" and loving. Ucik spoke about lust, infatuation and the hormones that accompany these states. He pointed out that attraction / romance gives the body a dopamine high for that "in love" feeling, which leads to sex and procreation—clearly an evolutionary imperative. Nevertheless, there is also the low that inevitably follows the high when infatuation fades, and dopamine stops flooding the brain. Biology works in concert with evolution, insofar as evolution protects the survival of the species. But when we are looking to transform the ways human couples relate, we need to move beyond archaic evolutionary imperatives that no longer serve us at this time in human history. Here again, we see the need for a willingness to recognize these more primitive motivations and consciously decide to wait out state experiences—such as lust and infatuation—before making intelligent choices. Today we ask our teens not to rush into sex; we actually ask them to resist the forces of evolution and biology while they are in a state experience. No wonder there are so many teen pregnancies! How can we expect teens to disidentify from sexual state experiences when adults are often unable to resist the siren call of these intense and biologically driven states?
Relationship Conflict and the Compatibility Matrix
Knowing how to resolve conflict in relationships is essential and Ucik provides numerous insights and countless resources intended to assist in this regard. In a recent dialogue with Ken Wilber, Ucik suggests that conflict in 1st tier relationships are characterized by a clash of values ("Til Memes Do We Part"). In his book, Ucik provides a very detailed "Compatibility Matrix" which illustrates a relationship's potential to survive based on each partner's altitude (or level of development). During his presentation, Ucik shared with us a few scenarios and described how a relationship might fare given a few different combinations. For example, we learned that a woman with Green/Post-Conventional values might very well be attracted to a Red man at the Egocentric level because both partners are non-conventional. According to Ucik, this relationship would be characterized by what Wilber calls the "Pre/Trans Fallacy". For those who are curious, we would highly recommend Ucik's Compatibility Matrix as a tool for insight and exploration.
The main source of conflict in 2nd tier relationships, according to Ucik is poor communication (and perhaps a lack of awareness). Undoubtedly, intimate relationships provide a fertile ground for us to explore our deepest and most intrinsic values and it can be challenging for individuals on a path of self-discovery to acknowledge their most primal needs, since it may feel like a regression of sorts. However, Ucik (and a handful of other couples therapists) have come to see that partnerships are best served when both individuals work hard to 'balance and harmonize' the two most basic human drives: the desire for connection (or communion) and our need for individual self-expression (or agency).
Ucik sets himself apart from other therapists in that his map of relationships contains not two but four polarities: Agency and Communion (on the horizontal axis); the Ascending path (towards growth and creativity) and the Descending path which points to our connection to the earth, the sensuousness of our flesh, and the fullness and richness of the manifest world.
As Integralists, and also as humans who are deeply ambivalent about intimacy and attachment, it seems that the final implication of Ucik's work is to ask ourselves to examine our own motivations with deep honesty. The future of relationship may well depend on our ability to make conscious choices about mates, instead of unconscious choices driven by the now obsolete need to produce an ever expanding number of humans.
Towards the end of the presentation, one participant asked Ucik what makes a relationship "integral." Ucik took a moment to reflect and then thoughtfully responded that an integral relationship is an intimate union formed by two partners who are fully committed to loving, learning and healing. Feeling inspired and curious, another participant boldly stepped forward and invited those who were in integral relationships to raise their hands. A few brave souls stepped forward to share their experiences, and we agreed that the conversation was one that can and should definitely be continued . . .

I advise anybody interested in relationships at an Integral level to check out the work of Authentic World/Authentic Man Program.
http://www.authenticmanprogram.com/
http://www.authenticworld.org/
If you're frustrated with the constant intellectual dissection that's present in so much of Integral theory, Decker and Bryan's work will be a refreshing shift to actual SUBJECTIVE experience that takes place in integral relationships.
In addition to Ucik's book, I invite anybody interested in integral relationships to check out the work of Authentic World / Authentic Man Program (a google search will suffice.) In my opinion, Decker and Bryan at Authentic World bring a level of subjectivity and experiential work that is not present in the intellectual dissection of relationships that Ucik presents.

Re: A question about "pi"
Hope that helps rather than confusing things further.
The particle pi is used to divide a second noun group that describes a first noun group.
Of course, this translates also to "a very good person". If you omit the pi, the result would be "many good persons".
So, yes, "tomo sina pi telo nasa" is "your bar". Absynth could be telo nasa pi (kule) laso jelo, but telo nasa laso jelo would also express it. A "green bar" could be simply "tomo laso jelo pi telo nasa".
pona! Thank you very much, I think I've got it.
2 absinthe is 'telo nasa pi laso jelo' (and similarly for a green bar), otherwise you get a blue liquor that is yellow, which may be green but doesn't seem to be. in 'telo nasa laso jelo', 'laso' modifies 'telo nasa', "blue liquor" and then 'jelo' modifies that, so a yellow colored blue liquor. What you want is a yellowish blue liquor, where 'jelo' modifies 'laso' and that means the two form a unit to attach to 'teli laso' -- and so they are set off by 'pi'.
Wow. Rebel forces are growing.
No, the reactionaries are just weakening (they can't even make their case with a straight face).
"enough" is 'mute pona', not 'pona mute'.

What are the reasons corporations collect art? There are definite benefits to the company, their employees, clients and the community, as well as to the artists represented in those collections.
Let's take a look at the ways a corporate art collection affects each of those groups.
Art in the work environment improves the quality of life for employees, many of whom may spend most of their time in that space. Studies have shown that art in the workplace also increases employee and corporate productivity and creativity.
Art can stimulate conversation, networking and ideas. When choosing art for work spaces, the curator may choose pieces that are energizing or thought-provoking in key meeting areas.
An environment filled with visual art creates higher rates of employee satisfaction. This leads to increased motivation, and lower workforce turnover and disruption.
Art can provide a warm welcome to everyone who visits, beginning with sculpture or other outdoor pieces near an entrance or on the building itself, and continuing with the collection displayed in the interior of the building.
A corporate art collection may convey the corporation's culture, brand image, and core values. A thoughtfully chosen collection can help the corporation to set itself apart from its competitors, and act as a symbol of their focus.
An art collection may indicate the company's favorable financial status and authority, which is a signal of success that tends to inspire client confidence.
Art in waiting and reception areas and in conference rooms can provide relaxing or comforting images that put visitors at ease. This can be especially helpful in healthcare and hospital settings.
Artwork in corporate environments may reflect its relationship to the surrounding community, sending a message that the company is highly invested in and has made a long-term commitment to the area.
Outdoor art especially touches the community at large, providing a sense of connection and goodwill.
Corporate collections that include the work of local artists strengthen their image as supporters of the arts, and the community at large.
Displaying artwork can improve public relations, showing appreciation for the arts as an indication that the company is a good civic partner.
When artists have work acquired by corporations for their collections, they can reach a new audience of collectors by virtue of the visibility they gain.
Press members are looking for local news, and artists with work in local corporate collections are newsworthy.
With art in a corporate collection, the artist can build a reputation of creating work that is appropriate for and an enhancement to a corporate environment.
The more artists understand the motivations that corporate clients have, the better they are able to prepare and present their work for the commercial setting. Take a look at whether your own art may belong in the corporate world. Is this market a good fit for you?
I am delighted to have found your website! Two consultants have told me that my work would best fit in a corporate environment. It has been a challenge to approach this type of market and at this time, the overtures I have made have been met with silence….
I just came upon the workshop, posted on your website, that will be held in Santa Fe. Would this be something that could be helpful?
Thanks for your comment, Lynn. Any time that an artist has identified a potential market for their work, it takes research and planning to not only understand the needs and concerns of that client, but also ways to approach that market. You are seeking to connect B2B. And as a potential vendor, you must be very proactive in prospecting, working with representatives and decision makers (such as art consultants, interior designers and others). You mentioned that your overtures have not produced results, and this could be for any number of reasons. The Santa Fe workshop, happening in April, 2018 is an opportunity to learn about the business side of art, and creating a plan for growth. I think it would be an excellent match for the needs you have expressed.

Mayors of Lesbos and Lampedusa awarded Olof Palme Prize
Published måndag 9 januari 2017 kl 10.04
The mayors of the Greek island of Lesbos and the Italian island of Lampedusa and Linosa will be awarded the Olof Palme Prize for their work to help people fleeing from war and terror.
The islands have become the first stop for thousands of people who have come as refugees over the Mediterranean. The two mayors Spyridon Galinos from Lesbos and Giusi Nicolino from Lampedusa and Linosa are awarded the Prize "for their inspiring leadership in one of the most difficult periods of our time".
"Together with their citizens Spyridon Galinos and Giusi Nicolini opened their minds and societies for fellow human beings fleeing from war, terror, and misery. In an increasingly dangerous and cruel world they have stressed the humanistic imperative that it is more important to protect people than borders," the Olof Palme Memorial Fund writes in a press statement.
The Prize is awarded every yearn on, or as close to the 30th of January as possible, which was the birthday of the former Swedish prime minister, Olof Palme. In a ceremony at the Swedish parliament, the laureates receive the prize and a joint sum of US$100,000.

See Pretty plain collar image.
I expected the Pretty Plain collar to be the versatile piece I was looking for, but it completely exceeded my expectations with it's softness and understated beauty. It's a truly fabulous piece made with attention to detail, I wear it all the time and I'm always reluctant to take it off.
Pretty plain collar: Pretty, plain, and perfect.
This collar is worth every cent! I would recommend this to any one who is new to collars or anyone looking for something nicer than what they already have. It really is a beautiful and well made piece, that I hope to enjoy for many years to come!
This is the best and most comfortable collar I've ever worn. I wore this on a daily basis for 3 years, and it held up beautifully.

It's true — not everything is expanding. The earth is not expanding. The distance between the earth and the sun is not expanding. And in fact, the distance between the Milky Way and our nearest galaxy, Andromeda, is shrinking.
How a given piece of space expands and contracts with time depends on how much matter and other energy is contained within it, says Dan Hooper, astronomy professor and scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. "So regions with relatively little density expand faster than other regions do." And some even contract.
Astronomers use metaphors to help the not-so-space savvy visualize all this. Raisin bread is a common one, or a sheet of rubber with thumbtacks on either end. The bread expands, the rubber stretches, but the raisin and thumbtacks stay put. Similarly, space stretches with time; galaxies don't.
Gravity is the force holding these objects back from expansion, says astrophysicist Richard McCray of the University of Colorado. Objects in orbit, for example, are believed to be held together by the gravity of dark matter. So are clusters of galaxies. "If they have enough gravity to stay together, they don't join universal expansion," McCray says.
Astronomers rely on observations of bright, far-flung objects like supernovas to measure the rate of expansion. And they use supercomputer simulations to show that regions of high-matter density stay intact.

Since the 1800s, Errera predicted that plant cells divide so that the new cell wall bisects the cell while minimizing its surface, similar to soap films. We created a model based on soap-film minimization to explicitly test this hypothesis on real three-dimensional cells. This model performs many iterative soap-film minimizations to identify the probability that the cell will divide in one orientation versus another potential division. In many cases, our in silico division prediction is very similar to the in vivo division. In other cases, we observed a discrepancy between the soap-film minimization model prediction and the in vivo division. We assessed the location of the future division by determining the location of a pre-mitotic structure known as the preprophase band (PPB). The discrepancies between in vivo and in silico divisions were sometimes correlated with an adjacent cell wall close to the predicted soap film division, known as 4-way junction avoidance. Overall, we show that plant cells, by a yet unknown mechanism, sense their geometry, and often place PPBs in soap-film-minimizing orientations, confirming Errera's predictions were correct for many cells. While it is likely that cell geometry sensing occurs via dynamic properties of microtubules, this hypothesis has yet to be explicitly tested. This soap-film minimization model can be used to determine the relative contribution of geometry versus other important division plane orienting mechanisms such as tensile stress.

Volkswagen has held a longstanding reputation for developing some of the most stylish, high-performing vehicles on the market. From sedans to a small crossover, capability and comfort never cease.
Now, Volkswagen is expanding their lineup with the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. This bigger, more powerful SUV will offer drivers more amenities and engine enhancements than they've previously seen.
To show our Greenville, New Bern, and Wilson drivers what they can expect from this vehicle,1 our team at Pecheles Volkswagen has put together this review.
Up to this point, Volkswagen has set a pretty high standard for how their vehicles should handle and perform. The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas aims to take this to the next level.
Coming standard to the Volkswagen Atlas powertrain will be a 3.6L V6 engine, capable of achieving 276 horsepower. Eco, Normal, and Sport modes are then added so you can customize your experience further. With that kind of power, you're expected to be able to haul up to 5,000 pounds of cargo.
One of the goals of the VW Atlas is to be an overall more engaging drive. That's why Volkswagen has worked hard to improve both the steering wheel function and transmission response.
This increased response will be a great complement to the 4MOTIONall-wheel drive. With this drivetrain, you can safely navigate any number of driving surfaces.
In addition to being built with the enduring frame typical of any Volkswagen vehicle, the 2018 VW Atlas will also feature a cadre of safety technology. This array begins with the advanced network of sensors placed around the car.
This network is used in features such as Pedestrian Monitoring and Front Assist. While Pedestrian Monitoring watches to ensure you don't hit any people or foreign objects, Front Assist will keep track of your following distances. If either detects a collision, Autonomous Emergency Braking will engage.
Blind Spot Monitoring will also be available in the Volkswagen Atlas. This feature will let you know if any other cars have drifted into your blind spot, preventing unnecessary accidents.
If you're choosing an SUV, then you need extra space, either for cargo, equipment, or your family. And the 2017 Volkswagen Atlas will have room for all three.
The SUV comes with seating for seven, thanks to the easy-access third row seat. Unlike other SUVs where the third row is cramped, the Volkswagen Atlas aims to offer ample room for rear passengers. And with the easy-folding second row seats, getting in and out will be a breeze.
To add to your already generous trailering capacity, the VW Atlas also offers plenty of room in the back of the vehicle for cargo. Expect 96.8 cubic feet of space, ensuring that passengers never have to sacrifice room for luggage.
With this incredible SUV still forthcoming, our Greenville, New Bern, and Wilson customers may have a few additional questions. To learn more about when the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas will be available and what features you'll find, just contact our team at Pecheles Volkswagen. We'll keep you in the loop!
1. Model not yet released. All specs mentioned herein have been cited from the Kelley Blue Book article 2018 Volkswagen Atlas 3.6L VR6 4Motion First Review and are subject to change by the manufacturer.


Title. My server is down.
Try with another browser, or clear your cache. This has helped some folks. The WebUI works fine for me curently.
If you have server issues, you would need to create a ticket to Nitrado Support. I understand you can't due to the bad gateway issue. Again, try doing what I suggested if you want, or wait for the bad gateway to resolve for you. Moderators do not have access to customer accounts or servers. Nothing I can do to assist other than suggest.

Añejo, Let's Go!
Posted by frankfarina on January 17, 2022 February 1, 2022
We heart tequila! And did you know that this agave spirit from the great land of Mexico gets bolder than blanco and even richer than reposado? Añejo is the name and "gracing cocktails that are friendly to all seasons with an amber look and a more robust take on the tequila taste" is its game.
Though the name translates to "old," añejo is still just toddler-aged. But don't let the numbers fool you: its one to three years spent in oak casks completely set it apart from younger tequilas and leads to a whisk(e)y-esque woodiness that'll ably deliver on warmth for the winter. And it isn't just wood that the barrel brings. Spending that time of rest alters the character of the tequila in other delicious ways, with the agave at the heart of the blend taking on the soft flavors and aromas of vanilla, cacao, cinnamon, or citrus.
We're ready to tackle this tasty spirit in a season-defyingly sassy way by using musical inspirations to celebrate its irresistible intersection of light and darkness. It's winter, after all, but even if your neighborhood's far too nippy to inspire outright jubilation, grab yourself an Añejo, Let's Go! Box and let a little bit of song and dance into your soul! Subscribe now through February 6th (while supplies last!) to get the Añejo, Let's Go! Box—it's slated to ship the week of February 7th.
Equipped with a 100-hours-long-and-growing playlist at his bar and restaurant, Cure, Donny Clutterbuck makes easy work of channeling musical inspirations into his cocktail creations—like this bubbly breath of fresh air, Feather Billet, which he crafted while grooving to the band PREP and other polished and modern Steely Dan successors of that ilk. His refreshing blend is a two-step between the lush, dried fruit-sweetness of añejo and the bright, floral, and spice stylings of grapefruit soda, rose syrup, and chocolate mole bitters, teaching a whole new set of peppy dance moves to the crowd-pleasing Paloma.
Donny paved his way through college and into the industry by working in many Upstate NY dives and clubs before a brief, life-changing stint at Booker and Dax in Manhattan. Now he's rooted in Rochester, where he applies his talents to the cocktail program at the French-inflected Cure.
It takes a tuned-in 'tender to serve and dazzle the kinetic music-loving crowds of Austin, TX, from behind the bar—as evidenced by The Beat Goes On, a fan-favorite reissue. In this amped old fashioned (or hot toddy, if you wish), Jessica Sanders summons the spirit of the capital city into a mojo syrup layered with complexity from spices like vanilla, ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon and pairs it with a blend of orange and aromatic bitters to turn the dial way up on your añejo!
Jessica is a professional bartender, bar/restaurant owner, and hospitality consultant based in Austin. She owns and operates the award-winning craft-cocktail bar and gastropub DrinkWell and is also the vice president of the Texas Food & Wine Alliance and a member of the Austin chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier, a womxn-centric culinary collective.
When the horns of Tijuana Brass start ringing out, you know you're in for a good time. But don't expect just a short and sweet solo in this sipper from Analise Stettner. Instead, take your time and bask in something of a lengthy exploratory jam session as a large coconut-water ice cube blends with deeply flavorful añejo and aromatic cinnamon demerara syrup and a bitters medley that includes notes of long pepper and hibiscus, weaving in and out of themes and gradually changing the mystical melodies of the drink as it settles right alongside you.
Analise is a New England native who's spent the last 15 years working in the food and beverage scene. She now runs the show at Providence's one and only dedicated karaoke lounge, the Boombox, plus creates cocktails and tends bar at Tiny Bar, an outdoor craft-cocktail bar in the city's jewelry district.
It's the hottest ticket in town! So come on down to the big show, the Añejo, Let's Go! Box, and let the tunes, tequila, and good times melt away even the littlest bit of those winter blues!

Love this box. The Feather Billet is a keeper. Any chance you can share a digital copy of the recipe?
You can view the video version on our YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/c/shakerandspoon/videos
I got the Anejo, Let's Go as a gift. We really enjoyed the Tijuana Brass. I did add about 1.5 – 2 oz of lime juice to give it more depth with a "sour" ingredient. I think the recipe on its own is on the sweeter side. My bad as I didn't have the patience upon opening the box to dispense and wait for the coconut water to freeze into cubes. I suspect the ice-formed coconut cubes would have more slowly released the sweet juice into the drink, with less immediacy of sweetness. The Feather Billet has, among other things, pink grapefruit soda which serves as the sour dimension – looking forward to making that one!

Lesotho Politics
Additional Press Coverage
An understanding of the political landscape in Lesotho is helpful to better contextualise the dispute between FSG and GOL.
Lesotho politics is highly factionalised with a succession of unstable coalition governments over the past few decades. Political violence including assassinations have occurred on multiple occasions. It is FSG's belief that the well known rivalry between Dr Moeketsi Majoro and former Prime Minister Thomas Thabane was an additional key factor in why Dr Majoro obstructed the FSG project. In simple terms, FSG believes that Dr Majoro did not want the positive attributes of the FSG project to accrue to his political rival Mr Thabane.
Although Dr Majoro and Mr Thabane are in the same political party they are fierce rivals. Throughout the period relevant to the FSG project there was tension between Majoro and Thabane. The two screenshots below bear witness to the ongoing tension. The first image is from June 2018 and the second in October 2021. It appears nothing has changed between these rivals over the past three years.
Dr Majoro also seems to have problems with other members of his own political party including Professor Mahao.

The creation of a highway through prescription is codified at RSA 229:1. RSA 229:1 requires use by the public for twenty years prior to January 1, 1968. This does not mean the elements for prescription must have been present between December 31, 1947 and December 31, 1967, but that they existed for some twenty year period ending prior to January 1, 1968.
To establish a highway by prescription, the proponent must prove by a "balance of the probabilities" that the general public used the way in question continuously, without interruption and under a claim of right for twenty years without the permission of the owner. These facts give rise to a conclusive presumption that the highway was at some previous time established by proper authority. Once a plaintiff makes out a prima facie case of prescriptive use by the public, the burden shifts to the other party to prove the public use was permitted.
"Public" means all the public. Use just by abutters or neighbors may not constitute the public.
Prescription may be asserted even where a highway already exists. For example, a party may claim that a highway is wider than the laid out width, the extra width being established through prescription. Intermittent use of a road, such as during haying season only, may be sufficient to establish prescriptive rights where the use is characteristic of the road claimed.
In the context of prescriptive easements (versus prescriptive highways), whether a person believed they gave permission to use a way is not relevant. What is required is proof the use was permissive, such as testimony the adverse user actually sought or was given permission by the property owner.
"A highway established by prescription is not as a matter of law restricted in width to the track of actual travel." Inquiry must be made into the amount of land taken for safety, convenience and maintenance of the highway. It may turn out more land is needed on one side of the highway than on the other; therefore, the center line of the area actually traveled upon may not be the true center line of the highway. Fences and walls, however, are strong evidence of the limits of the public's rights.
Once a highway is created by prescription, the public's use rights cannot be taken away or altered through the laying-out procedure without a vote of the legislative body and, in some circumstances, court consent.
No one may acquire rights in state lands "as against the state or its grantees" via adverse possession (a theory closely-related to prescription). Likewise, "[n]o person shall acquire by prescription a right to any part of a town house, schoolhouse or church lot, or of any public ground by fencing or otherwise inclosing the same or in any way occupying it adversely for any length of time." RSA 477:34. Selectmen do not have the power to determine whether a road has become public by prescription.
