Enu island is one of uninhabited island in Indonesia, and it needs 8-10 hours drive by speed boat to reach the island.


Part of my graduate work was tying together the soft science of yoga with the hard science of neuro-endocrinology. My thesis was that breathwork could result in stimulating the various endocrine glands to secrete the necessary hormones for re-starting brain growth in regions like the hypothalamus and amygdala, which are responsible for emotion. Additionally, as many people, including Leonard Orr and Jim Leonard postulated, emotional integration helps one live longer, theorizing correctly that negative emotions (and the related stress hormones like cortisol) are what actually kill us.
In the yogic tradition the location of the hypothalamus coincides with what is known as bindu visarga. From that point emanates amrita, which is roughly translated as the nectar of immortality. It is considered that it flows downward from that point and gets consumed by the digestive system. Certain techniques, usually involving inverted body position, reverse the flow of amrita, which can than get assimilated by the body.
Myron Stoloroff also talked about the deep connection between emotional healing and a life of vitality in his book Thanatos to Eros.

Theology Department Pushes Priestly Ordination of Women: A Petition to President Snyder
Dear President Snyder,
We are disappointed that members of the Department of Theological Studies continue to act in contradiction to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Not only do they penalize students for calling God Father, not only do they push gender theory via pronoun policing, but now they have an upcoming event on April 7th, 2022 promoting women's ordination.
The advertising for the event (see below) claims that Diane Smith Whalen is a "Roman Catholic Woman Priest." In fact, Diane Smith Whalen's claim to be a Roman Catholic priest has as much validity as the claim of David Allen Bawden who styles himself Pope Michael to be the current Roman Pontiff. He isn't the pope, and she isn't a priest.
The Church does not "forbid" women's ordination as if it were banning bingo in the parish hall during Lent. Rather, as Pope St. John Paul II pointed out, the Church teaches that she is not authorized to admit women to priestly ordination because the sacraments were instituted by Jesus himself. No pope can authorize baptism with sand, the holy Eucharist with sausage, or the ordination to priesthood with females. The advertisement for this event suggests a "priesthood redefined" away from fidelity to what Christ established. Jesus, although he regularly broke with Jewish custom, retained the distinctively Jewish male priesthood unlike the pagan religions of the time which had female priests.
We want events that support rather than tear down the Church. We want a theology of faith rather than an ideology of secularism. We want LMU to be institutionally committed to Roman Catholicism rather than to radical feminism.

Your Comment for LMU's President
Fr. Richard Rolfs S.J. Rest in Peace
LMU has announced the death of another beloved Jesuit professor:
Rev. Richard Rolfs, S.J., former LMU dean of students, emeritus professor of history, and Faculty Hall of Fame member, passed away on March 7, 2022, at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, California. He was 98 years old.
Father Rolfs joined Loyola University in 1968 as an instructor in political science. He became an assistant professor of European history in 1974, an associate professor in 1980, and was promoted to the rank of professor in 1997. Father Rolfs retired in 2005 and was awarded emeritus status, continuing to teach in a part-time capacity until 2012. An esteemed scholar, Father Rolfs was an expert on the history of Germany's Third Reich, the Holocaust, and the roots of anti-Semitism.
His legacy is reflected in the generations of students and colleagues he impacted throughout his service to LMU. Father Rolfs was dean of students from 1964-70, president of the Academic Assembly from 1978-79, and chair of the Department of History from 1978-86. He also served as a trustee from 1978-86, where he was a member of the Executive Committee, the Facilities and Long-Range Planning Committee, the Committee for Academic Affairs, and the Student Affairs Committee.
Father Rolfs attended Loyola University from 1946-48. He earned an A.B. in philosophy, an M.A. in history, and an M.A. in philosophy from Gonzaga University, and his Ph.D. from the UC Santa Barbara. He also earned a Licentiate in Theology from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. Father Rolfs began his teaching career at Loyola High School in 1955.
Father Rolfs entered the Society of Jesus on Aug. 14, 1948, was ordained on
July 26, 1961, and professed his final vows on March 19, 1977.
We thank God for the gift of Fr. Rolfs, for his teaching so many generations of LMU students, and for his faithful ministry as a priest. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
LMU Reminds Community of Kwanzaa, but not the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
On December 7th, Marketing and Communications sent out an email to the LMU community inviting them to celebrate Kwanzaa the next day, but did not post a similar advertisement to celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Mary the next day. You might think that an institution named Loyola Marymount might have a particular interest in promoting a celebration of the woman called by Wordsworth 'our tainted nature's solitary boast.' You might think that President Snyder would send a special invitation to attend Mass, but his email communications are more often about his own political opinions which he feels compelled to share with the entire community, inevitably highlighting his woke bona fides. Maybe next year the LMU community will get an email reminding them to celebrate the great mother of God Mary most holy. Or maybe status quo LMU will continue.
LMU's Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination Loses the Catholic Part: A Petition President Snyder
The Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination at LMU is supposed to be "a community of scholars who work in dialogue with the Catholic intellectual tradition by developing, critically examining, communicating, or otherwise engaging the rich resources of Catholic thought and imagination, especially as it is informed by Jesuit and Ignatian vision." It was set up under your predecessor President David Burcham in response to concerns from alumni that LMU was losing its Catholic identity.
Given this history and mission, it is surprising to read the Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination's current "Message from the Director", a screen shot of which you can find below. It reads,
"The future is interdisciplinary. As a community, we are asked to embrace and promote a new surge of creativity in the sciences and the arts, so that this surge may extend into all areas of human activity. Not only the sciences and the arts are sacramental but also, they share a common creative process. Everything is in a constant process of evolution and change. The developments that are made in one area may sometimes have serious consequences for the foundations of theories and concepts in other areas. Each problem produces an energy that seeks to be solved with a new idea. But rather than looking for something truly fundamental, we often attempt to modify a problem without disturbing the underlying infrastructure. ACTI looks to promote unforeseen collaborations and unexpected ideas in new common grounds, like in a vibrant Academy of the Core. Such is our challenge in times of major distress but also of great opportunity."
You'll note that this message, aside from the word 'sacramental', has nothing whatsoever to do with anything Catholic. Likewise, the programming this semester (see screenshot below) entitled "The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters" has nothing whatsoever to do with Catholicism.
All this is less surprising, when you look at the Director of the Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination's curriculum vitae which I have attached for your convenience to this message. The word "Catholic" appears nowhere in his 11 page CV.
Just to be clear, for all we know, the Director of the Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination may be a daily communicant who always carries a rosary in his pocket. He may have the charity of St. Francis of Assisi, the missionary zeal of St. Francis Xavier, and the corporal works of mercy of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Our complaint is not about his personal practice (or lack of practice) as a Catholic. Indeed, we don't even know if he is a Catholic. But what is clear from his CV and his fall programing is that he is utterly unsuited to be the Director of the Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination.
Your appointment of this Director is yet one more example of mission drift, lack of due attention to identity issues, or maybe even deliberate derailing of LMU's institutional commitment to Roman Catholicism.
We respectfully request that someone who is well-versed in the Catholic intellectual tradition and who will provide programming with actual Catholic content be appointed immediately as the Director of the Academy of Catholic Thought and Imagination.

Two Year Anniversary of the Death of a Jesuit Giant: Fr. Terrance L. Mahan S.J.
To admit that you made a mistake is to declare you are wiser now than you were before. In not giving due notice of the death of this LMU Jesuit giant, we are sorry not to have posted something about this kind, wise, and generous man in a more timely way. But the greatness of his character merits mention, especially on the eve of the two year anniversary of his death.
These words from the obituary of Jesuits West capture only a tiny fraction of all he did for people at LMU and for so many others:
Father Terrance Leon Mahan, SJ, university teacher, administrator and former provincial of the California Province, died of natural causes December 8, 2020, at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, California. He was 96 years of age and had been a Jesuit for 79 years, the most senior member of the Jesuits West Province in terms of years of service.
Fr. Mahan was born in Los Angeles on July 11, 1924, the son of Albert L. Mahan and Gertrude Tintle Mahan. He attended Loyola High School, and after graduating, entered the Jesuit novitiate at Los Gatos on August 14, 1941. Training took him to Gonzaga University for a philosophy degree, to the University of San Francisco for an MA in history, to Santa Clara University for a theology degree and finally, to the University of Wisconsin for a PhD in American history (1960). Along the way, he taught Latin at Loyola High School of Los Angeles (1948-49) and philosophy at Santa Clara University (1949-50). He was ordained a priest on June 12, 1954, in San Francisco.
Assigned to Loyola [Marymount] University in 1960, Fr. Mahan was in the classroom for only a years before being named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (1961-69). He returned to the history classroom briefly before being named rector of the Jesuit Community (1973-76). He was named provincial of the California Province Jesuits for a term (1976-1982), overseeing the men and works of the Society in five states.
Upon completion of his term, Fr. Mahan became superior of Manresa Retreat House in Azusa, California, directing the staff and offering laymen's retreats to hundreds of Southern Californians a year (1983-1990). After a year as assistant to the provincial, Fr. Mahan returned to the history classroom at Loyola Marymount University in 1991 and also served in Jesuit community administration. From 2007 to 2012 he was a popular spiritual director. In retirement at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, Fr. Mahan was a kind and gentle presence in the community and his inspirational warmth, kindness and humor will be long remembered.
Evening Student Protest of President Snyder
Readers of these musings might like to know that another protest against President Sndyer was scheduled in the evening. The Board of Trustees meeting place was scheduled to be in University Hall. Following the meeting concluding at 5:00 p.m., the board members were scheduled to head up to the Jesuit community for a reception. Some students planned to protest President Snyder by having signs ready for the board members to see as they walked up to the Jesuit community.
Well, President Snyder got wind of this plan, and so at the last minute, had the Board of Trustees meeting moved to St. Robert's Hall. The plan of the students got thwarted.
Fortunately, the students have friends in high places, learned of the new location, and moved the protest next to St. Robert's in front of the Jesuit community. After the meeting concluded, President Snyder and all the Board members walked right by the students with their signs reading, "Stop Religious Discrimination at LMU" "Is LMU Catholic or Not?" "Does 'Inclusivity' include Catholics?" and "Everyone Deserves Respect."
Some of the board members were smiling and friendly, saying things like "God bless you." Some board members were less than fully pleased to see the students protesting President Snyder. But all the students were absolutely delighted.
Check out LMU Neighbor on TikTok: partylikeurmomliveshere
You can check out the TikTok of a mom who lives right by LMU. She has documented atrocious behavior from LMU students, including a potential sexual assault. She called LMU who told her "this is not our problem". Ignoring problems seems to be par for the course for President Snyder's administration.
Protest of President Snyder
We are grateful to the folks who braved the early morning weather to join us in protesting the failures of President Snyder in terms of Catholic identity. The Board of Trustees is getting the message that there is a serious problem of mission and identity at LMU. To all who joined us, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Protest President Snyder: Monday Morning 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 am on LMU Drive and Lincoln Blvd.
President Timothy Law Snyder has failed LMU. He has damaged its Catholic identity. We are having a rally to protest what President Snyder has done and what he has failed to do on Monday morning December 6th between 7-9 a.m. on the corner of Lincoln Blvd and LMU Drive near the LMU fountain. The LMU Board of Trustees is meeting that morning, and as they drive by us into LMU, we need to make them aware of the many failures of leadership in the administration of President Snyder. (Some of you may want to stand outside the other entrance to LMU at the gate at the corner of Loyola Blvd and 80th near the LMU sign on Monday morning December 6th between 7-9 a.m.. That entrance may be used by a few board members.) We hope that the media will cover this event.
Please feel free to make and bring signs to protest President Snyder. Here are some ideas. "President Snyder, Renew LMU" "Snyder Restore St Serra" "Snyder Stop Religious Discrimination at LMU" "Snyder Restore Mission in BCLA" "Snyder Stop Pronoun Policing" "Snyder Needs to Stop Student Cyberbullying" "Tim, does 'inclusivity' include Catholics?"
Please tell your friends and bring your friends. We will see you by the fountain.

9 things you didn't know about Marquette University
As Marquette University's men's basketball team competes in its 51st postseason appearance in program history (which puts them in the top 10 among all Division I programs), here are 9 things you didn't know about the home of the ninth-seeded Golden Eagles:
1. We're ranked 6th in the country for job placement. Marquette was ranked 6th in the nation and first in Wisconsin for job placement 10 years after graduation, based on Department of Education College Scorecard data as reported in rankings released by Zippia.com. Check out some of the jobs our students are securing on the You Are Marquette Instagram!
2. We're located in a great city on a Great Lake. Milwaukee is consistently ranked as one of the most affordable places to live in the country and is home to the NBA World Champion Milwaukee Bucks. Lake Michigan is a short walk from campus, and the lakefront boasts a renowned art museum, festival grounds, and parks and beaches with plenty of space for swimming, volleyball, kayaking, or just chilling. Our campus is a 90-minute drive from Chicago, making us centrally located no matter where you call home.
3. We're home to orcs, goblins, elves and quidditch. Marquette's Raynor Memorial Libraries are home to the J.R.R. Tolkien Collection that includes original manuscripts and drafts of three of the author's most celebrated books — The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Farmer Giles of Ham, as well as other Tolkien memorabilia. Beyond quidditch, we also have over 50 club and recreation sports and more than 300 student organizations — there's truly something for everyone.
4. You'll really know your professors, and they'll know you. Our student-to-faculty ratio is 13:1, meaning your professors will know your name and your major. Student success is our top priority. We already have the highest graduation rate of any private institution in Wisconsin, which means we provide hands-on support from the moment students set foot on campus to their first destination after graduation.
5. Our Catholic, Jesuit mission is a part of everything we do. 41 Jesuits call Marquette home and actively support our mission and ministry among students, faculty and staff. There are 14 chapels on campus, including the 15th century St. Joan of Arc Chapel. 20 Catholic Masses are held each week between university chapels and the Church of the Gesu.
6. We learn by doing. Experiential learning is essential to a Marquette education, with 75% of students participating in an internship experience in the field. 80% of undergraduates participate in community service at Marquette, whether as a part of a class, with a student organization or on their own.
7. We champion big ideas. Inside our innovation center, the 707 Hub, we're constantly collaborating across disciplines to uncover the next breakthrough — and our student-run venture capital firm is funding some of the most promising initiatives.
8. We're connected by a common call. Our alumni are always ready to connect — our award-winning Marquette Mentors program pairs a student with an alum who gives them insight into launching a career and navigating life after college. And, wherever they are in the world, our network of 100,000+ alumni always gets pumped when they hear our rallying cry: "We Are Marquette!"
9. We're pretty good at basketball. But you already knew that. We also have 15 other NCAA Division I teams that compete in the Big East, offering a dynamic experience for student-athletes and spectators. Go Marquette!

Argyle Legends vs Grampound FC 2013
Argyle Legends embarked on a busy period of 3 games in 4 weeks with an emphatic 8 - 0 victory over a plucky Grampound FC X1. The game played to celebrate the opening of the village teams new pitch and changing rooms was watched by almost a third of their population of 600.
With a storm forecast for later in the day it was the Legends who made a whirlwind start to the game scoring 2 goals in the first 15 mins. The first in the 4th minute was a simple tap in from Bradley Swiiggs. Eleven mins later Danny O'Hagan marked his return from a 10 month injury by doubling the score with a smart turn and finish.
The hosts were restricted to long range efforts as the Legends dominated the midfield with Leigh Cooper and Mark Rowe outstanding. With Dominic Richardson and Mark Damerell also lively on the flanks it was only a matter of time before the Legends increased their lead.
The third goal duly came in the 30th minute when Swiiggs fired home from just inside the penalty area. On the stroke of half time in a game reduced to 40 minutes each way, Richardson made it 4 - 0 to the Legends.
The second half followed the same pattern as the first with the home team never seriously troubling Legends goalkeeper Garry Penhaligon.
Ten minutes into the half Swiggs scored the Legends 5th goal and completed a well deserved hat trick.
On the hour mark, Richardson scored his second and made it 6 - 0 to the Legends.
With 5 mins remaining that man Swiggs scored his fourth and the Legends 7th goal with another cool finish.
In the last minute Mark Rowe made it 8 - 0 with a low drive from just outside the penalty area.

For the first time since the 2013 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at the playoffs from the wrong side. They missed playing football in 2019 by just half a game, and are staring at a long offseason that's starting earlier than they wanted. That's a lot of time to examine what went wrong and how they ended up missing the playoffs by such a small margin.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has already started his examination. And it's not surprising that Le'Veon Bell's name came up. Bell, the Steelers' All Pro running back, sat out the entire season when he refused to sign his franchise tender.
"Life Without Le'Veon" should be the title of the Steelers' highlight video for the 2018 season, because Roethlisberger is right on the money: they didn't really miss his production. This season, James Conner and Jaylen Samuels combined for 1,229 rushing yards, 696 receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns. That's pretty similar to what Bell did in 2017, when he had 1,291 rushing yards, 655 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns. And on top of that, JuJu Smith-Schuster improved on his 2017, and Antonio Brown had another great season (except for that last week, of course). Bell's absence didn't seem to impact the Steelers on the field at all.
To Roethlisberger, the bigger issue is that the Bell situation was a distraction to the team. The deadline for Bell to sign his franchise tender was mid-November, just before Week 11. That's 10 weeks of Bell drama, plus the preseason. Would he sign? Would he show up? Or would he continue his holdout? What did he tweet today? Steelers players and coach Mike Tomlin tried to play it off as best as they could, but for three months, Le'Veon Bell not playing was the only Steelers news anyone wanted to talk about.
It's hard to know how much that affected the team, but it played a big enough role that Roethlisberger felt the need to mention it just a day after the Steelers were eliminated from the playoffs. While the team's ultimate goal for 2019 will (of course) be winning the Super Bowl, avoiding another drama-filled campaign is likely close to the top of that goals list.

After setbacks, some House Democrats want to repeal a longstanding minority party right
By Don Wolfensberger, Opinion Contributor — 03/13/19 08:15 AM EDT
If you asked John Q. and Jane Public what a motion to recommit is, they might guess it's a court order for a separated couple to renew their vows. In congressional parlance, though, it is not about reconciling differences between parties but rather of highlighting (and even exacerbating) those differences. That's because the motion is the minority party's last chance to offer a floor amendment to a bill before the vote on final passage.
Because Republicans have already succeeded on two occasions in this Congress to persuade a House majority to adopt amendments in motions to recommit (aka, MTRs), it is driving some Democrats up the chamber's walls, calling for repeal of the minority's final (and sometimes only) right to an amendment.
Whereas a straight motion to recommit simply sends the bill physically back to committee, the motion to recommit with instructions to report back a specified amendment "forthwith" (immediately) is debatable for ten minutes divided between the proponent and an opponent.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiMissouri woman seen with Pelosi sign charged in connection with Capitol riots Boebert communications director resigns amid Capitol riot: report Revising the pardon power — let the Speaker and Congress have voices MORE (D-Calif.) has strongly urged her caucus members to oppose all minority motions to recommit on grounds that they are procedural in nature. Technically, she is correct: it is a two-step process in which the first vote, if adopted, simply sets up a second vote on the actual substance of the amendment. However, some of the newer members are worried that even the first vote will be used and misconstrued in campaign ads run against them.
In the early Congresses the motion was used mostly by the majority to make technical corrections in a bill before the final vote. In 1909, however, as part of a rules reform package offered to fend off a bipartisan attempt to remove Speaker Joe Cannon (R-Ill.) as chairman of the Rules Committee, the MTR was made a prerogative of those opposing the bill. And in 1932 it was clarified to confine it to an opponent from the minority party.
In the 1970s, majority Democrats resuscitated a Speaker's ruling from 1934 that upheld the right of the majority to prohibit a motion to recommit from amending a specified title of a bill. By the 1980s, the Democrats expanded on that precedent on numerous occasions to bar any amendments by the minority in motions to recommit. In 1995, the new Republican-controlled House fully restored the motion as an exclusive right of the minority party to offer any germane amendment.
Both parties, when in the minority have used the motion for partisan political purposes. (Spoiler alert: the House is a political body). The difference is that Republican majorities have done a much better job of holding their troops together in opposing the motion.
Democrats who call for the repeal of the minority right claim is that it is "antiquated." That may have been the case from 1971 to the early 1980s when most major bills were considered open amendment rules and, beginning in 1971, for the first time, amendments offered in the Committee of the Whole were subject to recorded votes. But, beginning in the early 80s, the leadership began clamping down on the amendment process through the Rules Committee.
In the Democratically-controlled 111th Congress (2009-10) there were no open amendment rules, while 66 percent were structured (allowing for only amendments specified in the Rules Committee report), and 34 percent were closed. In the Republican controlled 115th Congress (2017-18), there were no open rules, while 44 percent were structured and 56 percent were closed. And, in the current Democratic-controlled House there have been no open rules, while 6 (38 percent) have been structured rules and 10 (63 percent) have been closed, leaving the motion to recommit as the only opportunity for the minority to offer an amendment.
Last week, on H.R. 1, a grab-bag of campaign, election and ethics reforms titled the "For the People Act," 168 amendments were filed with the Rules Committee – 70 by Republicans, 91 by Democrats and seven bipartisan. The special rule, however, only allowed six Republican amendments, while Democrats were granted 61 amendments, and 5 were bipartisan.
Although Democrats pledged last fall that if elected to the majority they would return to the "regular order" of more open committee and floor participation, the talk now about abolishing or severely limiting the minority right to offer a final recommit amendment flies in the face of that promise.
In his floor remarks on the opening day of this Congress, Rules Committee Chairman-designate James McGovern James (Jim) Patrick McGovernHouse Democrats introduce measures to oppose Trump's bomb sale to Saudis Cleaver: 'Awoman' ending to prayer meant to recognize record number of women in Congress House approves rules package for new Congress MORE (D-Mass.) said, "As chairman of the Rules Committee I am ready to do my part to institute a more accommodating process, one that gives all Members a voice and brings the committee back to the days where big ideas were actually debated, where Members were treated with respect, and where the discourse wasn't so coarse." As of now, however, it appears that the Democratic majority is off on a course of a different color.

Foxtel's new streaming service Binge launches from $10 a month – quality content ad-free
It ticks a few boxes right out of the gate when you think about it, great price, no ads, and great shows, important when you're trying to crack it as the fifth big player in a market flooded by way more than just five streaming services all arguing for your dollars each month.
Binge is the name for the streaming service from Foxtel launching on Monday (May 25) packed with all the shows Foxtel is known for, but free from the installation, high monthly cost, and ad breaks people get watching shows on Foxtel.
Launched and run by Streamotion, the company which built Kayo and launched that with amazing success, it's the same platform as Kayo, just a whole new bunch of content and a different interface.
There's huge shows like Westworld, Chernobyl, Game of Thrones, The Wire, The Sopranos, Ballers, and even Seinfeld with the West Wing and Friends to come.
No shortage of great content.
But there's also some nifty tricks we've not seen before on streaming services. For example; "Surprise Me" – think of it as a button that could take you to any content, or as Binge executives described it to me, like turning on the TV when you don't know what's on.
And it's targeted head on at Stan and in part Netflix.
Moreso Stan one has to say, because Netflix is really finding its feet with Netflix originals content these days, where as Stan is a portal to some epic content from the big studios around the world as well as locally.
Binge in this sense is the same as Stan, except they have no plans to make local content, only to aggregate content (that Foxtel have the rights to).
Julian Ogrin, CEO of BINGE says "BINGE speaks to the heart of what great entertainment viewing is about, something that is so good you can't switch off. BINGE will provide permission to indulge in the shows you love and the shows you can't get enough of; it's entertainment that's unturnoffable.
"This is a next generation streaming service that we want to go beyond providing the best content by creating an emotional connection with viewers based on unapologetic entertainment pleasure, a place you can escape to for that precious 'me time'. We couldn't be more excited to pull the curtain back and show Australia this incredible product.
"The time is right to unleash this new service providing Australians with the best in drama, lifestyle, reality and movies. With an amazing line-up of entertainment from the world's best brands, BINGE will have something for everyone, whenever you want to watch, on your favourite device. And with new content added daily, there will always be something fresh to enjoy."
Binge is available on a two week trial to everyone, after which the pricing starts at $10 a month (just like Stan) for a single stream in Standard Definition.
Bump up to $14 a month (just like Stan – though Stan offers three streams), for an additional stream and HD quality.
The top package is $18 a month ($1 more than Stan) for four streams in HD.
No 4K. Stan and Netflix offer 4K, Binge has really missed the mark not offering 4K from the get-go.
Pretty much every single TV sold in the last 4 years is 4K – why not offer some of the amazing content they have – in 4K. This I think will be the main challenge for Binge – lacking that high quality output for their high-quality content.
But, perhaps they know only too well there are millions of Aussie homes who have wanted to see some of these shows that are made famous on social media and around the watercooler, but are only on Foxtel. Binge makes them accessible.
Just imagine if Binge was around during Game of Thrones – a legitimate legal viewing platform for just $10 a month.
Binge will be available on Android TV, Apple TV, Telstra TV, Chromecast, and Mobile devices. Samsung TVs will follow soon, given the platform already exists for Kayo. Don't hold your breath for more though, that might take some time.
It's got a solid base, we know Kayo streaming is reliable. It's got great content, and it's priced well.
The real question is are Aussies willing to sign up for "yet another" streaming service.

TWO bus companies could face fines totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds after almost one in seven of their services in Hampshire were late or unreliable.
A survey found 11.3 per cent of Solent Blue Line buses, 18.3 per cent of its rebranded Marchwood Motorways buses and 13.4 per cent of First buses turned up early, arrived too late or failed to show up.
The companies were hauled before a public inquiry and could face respective fines of up to £90,000 and £229,000.
Managers blamed high volumes of traffic, roadworks, illegally parked cars, sick drivers, and even slow passengers as "reasonable excuses" for some of the punctuality problems.
Checks carried out by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency between July and November last year found 100 out of 713 Solent Blue Line journeys failed to meet required targets, while 121 of First's 903 journeys were below standard.
Solent Blue Line bosses said council roadworks along Millbrook Road and around Redbridge, and heavy freight lorries, had caused unforeseen "critical delays".
Poorly parked cars, pedestrians "unpredictably" using a crossing at Portswood Road and St Deny's Road, were said to be responsible for further delays.
Solent Blue Line operations director Andrew Wickham explained that the £3million acquisition in October 2006 of debt-laden Marchwood Motorways by Solent Blue Line's parent company Go Ahead had led to problems.
Outgoing owner and boss Peter Osborne retired leaving a management team that "wasn't up to the task", Mr Wickham said, and it took time for replacements to turn things around.
Managing director of First, Richard Soper, said: "South-ampton's roads are running at near-full capacity. It only takes the smallest thing to go wrong and the whole system breaks down."
Solent Blue Line runs 71 buses while its Marchwood operation runs 17 buses alongside 26 coaches, while First Bus has 373 buses, 127 of which operate in Southampton.
The inquiry was welcomed by Southampton Pensioners' Forum, which represents the majority of the services' users.
Spokesman John Nixon said: "There have been problems with buses in Southampton for some time now so I welcome this inquiry.
"Pensioners rely on buses to get around and something has to be done to make sure services are up to scratch."

Cathode And Anode
What Are The Materials Used For Anode And Cathode?
This battery is most common in power instruments and in powertrains for automobiles. During discharge, the cathode undergoes discount (or acquire of electrons) and the lithium ions accumulate in the cathode. On charging the battery the movement of the electrons is reversed and the cathode regains its greater potential.
The cathode mixture ratio is usually one-third nickel, one-third manganese and one-third cobalt, meaning that the raw material price is lower than for other choices, as cobalt on its own may be quite costly. NMC's in the identical cell optimized for particular energy have a capacity of only about 2,000mWh but ship a continuous discharge current of 20A. Also, NMC's have a very low self-heating rate.
After Hertz, when Thomson carried out the identical experiment, he additionally found the similar outcomes. He repeated the same experiment beneath much decrease pressure than the earlier. This time the beam was deflected by an electric field. When the higher plate was connected to the optimistic terminal of the battery and the decrease plate to the unfavorable terminal, the beam deflected upwards. If the polarity of the plates was reversed, the beam would deflect downwards.
It implied that the mass of the particles had been much smaller than that of hydrogen ions or had been heavily charged. Lenard had decided that the range, which is closely related to the imply free path for collisions, of cathode rays; it was zero.5 cm. On the opposite hand, the mean free path of air molecules was 10−5cm, which may be very small compared with the range of cathode rays. Therefore, he argued the dimensions of those particles must be much smaller than the molecules of air.
Current flows from the cathode to the positively charged anode; however, the electrons actually flow from the anode to the cathode.
This terminal corresponds in electrochemistry to the terminal at which discount happens.
Derived from Greek, cathode and anode mean "down" and "up" respectively.
A terminal on an electrical system that has a adverse cost.
The cathode (or the optimistic terminal) stays at greater potential during discharging of the battery. He additionally noted that the value of m⁄e was round 1000 instances smaller than that the worth of hydrogen ions. The value of m⁄e of hydrogen ions estimated at the moment was around 10−4.
Like different varieties of lithium-ion batteries, NMC batteries can have both a high specific vitality or high specific energy. NMC's have a excessive number of cost and discharge cycles (about 5000 cycles).
In the diagram above, species spontaneously transfer electrons to the electrode on the right; species are oxidized, so that is the anode. The electrons transferred to the anode flow from it via the lightbulb to reduce species on the cathode. This is a group of compounds with two-dimensional crystal morphology. While the most typical instance is LCO, Lithium nickel oxide and Lithium manganese oxide are additionally well known.
The magnetic area was utilized such that it was perpendicular to each the electric subject and cathode rays. Cathode rays deflect in the downwards direction when the polarity was reversed.Finally, he succeeded in proving the beam are nothing however negatively charged particles.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement Viasat's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), ViaSat uses non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Viasat Inc. and Adjusted EBITDA, measures Viasat believes are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of Viasat's past financial performance and prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting and facilitates comparisons to the Company's historical operating results. Further, these non-GAAP results are among the primary indicators that management uses as a basis for evaluating the operating performance of our segments, allocating resources to such segments, planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the tables below.

Dr. Haskel Greenfield
Jewish Foundation Approves Grant of $27,000 to Jewish Federation for Comprehensive study Re Growing Judaics Program at University of Manitoba
by Rhonda Spivak November 6, 2013
The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba recently authorized a grant to the Jewish Federation of $27,000 to conduct a comprehensive study to see if the Judaics program at university of Manitoba could be grown and marketed both within the Jewish community and also to non-Jews. The study will consider what types of courses are offered at other programs and will attempt to identify courses that would appeal to both Jewish and non-Jewish students.
With that in mind, the Winnipeg Jewish Review recently interviewed a founder and former director of a Jewish Studies program from the United States who founded this program in a large city where there is a Jewish population of about 20,0000. There are about 35000 students at this U.S. University, with some 800 Jewish students. [ Editori's note:The model used in this U.S. community could arguably serve as a model for our community]
The founder told us that in this city, few students major or minor in Jewish Studies. Students enroll in courses in various departments, such as history, political science, religion, etc. that offer courses that are also included in the Jewish Studies major. The courses and the faculty members who teach them are under the jurisdiction of their respective departments, not Jewish Studies, which is a program. The program small but is stable. A community donor funded an endowed chair for the director of the program. The Jewish Studies Program offers several scholarships and grants, all funded by private donors, and the funds are widely advertised. There is both a major and minor in Jewish Studies.
The founder of the program also said that the Jewish Studies program wants to attract many non-Jews to the program. They do not did not want the program to be labeled an ethnic program that appeals to students of that ethnicity. Also it is felt that courses, such as, Jewish history courses, help to remove stereotypes and myths about Jews. (Additionally if they were to rely on Jewish students alone, who number less than 800 in a student body of about 35,000, there would not be program.)
In this American city, The Holocaust, which is offered by the history department, is the most popular of the Jewish Studies courses. It enrolls at least 50 students and the students are not Jewish. Additionally, with funding that the Jewish studies program raised there, that program instituted Jewish Studies travel courses for students, and a course on the Holocaust was conducted in Germany and Poland.

261 F. 2d 517 - United States v. R Dininny L K
261 F2d 517 United States v. R Dininny L K
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff,
Ben R. DININNY, Respondent-Appellant,
Harriet L. Parmeter and Helena K. Phillips, formerly known as Valeria Jane Dininny, an infant, Defendants.
Docket 25113.
United States Court of Appeals Second Circuit.
Argued November 6, 1958.
Decided December 11, 1958.
J. R. Hoover, of Hoover & Peterson, Elmira, N. Y., for respondent-appellant.
John B. Lawless, Elmira, N. Y., for appellee, Helena K. Phillips.
Before CLARK, Chief Judge, WATERMAN, Circuit Judge, and GALSTON, District Judge.
GALSTON, District Judge.
This action by the Government in the nature of interpleader was instituted pursuant to § 19, World War Veterans Act of 1924, as amended (§ 445, Title 38 U.S.C.A.) and § 617 of the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, as amended (§ 817, Title 38 U.S.C.A.) and seeks to have determined conflicting claims of the defendants to the proceeds of a policy of National Service Life Insurance issued to Willard K. Dininny as the insured.
Ben R. Dininny, the father of the insured; Harriet L. Parmeter, formerly the wife of the insured; and Helena K. Phillips, formerly known as Valeria Jane Dininny, claiming to be the daughter of the insured, are the claimants.
The complaint also alleges that the insured while in the military service applied for and was granted a contract of National Service Life Insurance, Policy No. N 4 245 783, effective November 1, 1942, in the amount of $10,000. In this policy Fairy E. Dininny, described as mother, was named principal beneficiary, and no contingent beneficiary was designated. It was determined by the Army that the insured was presumed to have died on November 17, 1945, but that for insurance purposes the Veterans Administration has held that the insured died on November 16, 1944 (the date on which he was reported missing in action), and that the policy was in full force and effect on the date of the death of the insured.
On March 20, 1946 the named beneficiary, Fairy E. Dininny, filed a claim for the proceeds of the policy of insurance, and the Veterans Administration awarded and paid to her monthly installments in the amount of $64.90 each, from November 16, 1944 to the date of her death on November 5, 1947 — in all thirty-five monthly installments.
The material facts were stipulated so that Judge Burke had no difficulty in setting forth his findings. But the issue to be resolved was whether Valeria Jane Dininny, as the child of Willard K. Dininny, is entitled as a beneficiary to the proceeds of the policy over the claims of the other defendants.
Judge Burke found that Willard K. Dininny and Harriet M. Larrison were married on October 24, 1940, and at that time were residents of the State of New York. At the time of the marriage Harriet M. Larrison was pregnant approximately eight months with a child by Willard K. Dininny. Helena K. Phillips was this child. An important and practically controlling fact found by Judge Burke was that Willard K. Dininny on December 14, 1940 signed a consent, with Harriet, in an adoption proceeding brought in Chemung County Court, to the adoption of their child Valeria, in which document Willard K. Dininny acknowledged himself to be the father of Valeria. Thereupon the child was adopted by Robert and Beatrice Phillips and her name was changed to Helena K. Phillips.
On August 23, 1944 Willard K. Dininny instituted an action in the Supreme Court of Chemung County to have the marriage between himself and Harriet M. Larrison annulled. Harriet testified that she had not lived with Willard K. Dininny, the insured, since the date of their marriage. The mother of the insured also testified that the couple had never lived together after the marriage, and that after they were married Harriet claimed that she was pregnant. The judgment of annulment was filed in Chemung County clerk's office three months after the entry, on January 8, 1946, of an interlocutory decree of annulment. It is to be observed parenthetically that prior to the annulment the insured had been determined deceased.
Before the annulment decree was entered it appears that Harriet L. Dininny had remarried (on May 5, 1945) and her name then became Harriet L. Parmeter. A motion by her in December 1950 to have the judgment of annulment vacated was denied.
Judge Burke concluded on the foregoing facts that Helena K. Phillips is the legitimate daughter of Willard K. Dininny, and that her adoption did not affect her status as a child of Willard K. Dininny. He also concluded that the judgment of annulment was conclusive as against the defendant Harriet L. Parmeter, and terminated the marriage ab initio.
Pursuant to the provisions of Title 38 U.S.C.A. § 802(h) (3), he concluded that Helena K. Phillips, as the child of the insured, was the next preferred beneficiary after the death of the named beneficiary and is entitled to the balance of all benefits payable under the policy.
The appellant Ben R. Dininny (Harriet L. Parmeter, who was co-defendant, has not appealed from the judgment of the District Court), presents two questions:
"A. Was the defendant, Helena K. Phillips, formerly known as Valeria Jane Dininny, a child within the meaning of United States Code Annotated, Title 38, Section 802, and entitled to take as beneficiary? The District Court held that she was (Pages 77-81). This the respondent-appellant, Ben R. Dininny, claims was in error.
"B. Whether the defendant, Ben R. Dininny, is entitled to take as against the defendant, Helena K. Phillips, formerly known as Valeria Jane Dininny, under the facts and under Title 38, Section 802 of the United States Code Annotated. The District Court held (Pages 77-81) that he was not. This the respondent-appellant, Ben R. Dininny, claims was in error." Section 115 of the Domestic Relations Law, McKinney's Consol. Laws, c. 14 does not help the appellant, for though it provides that the parents of the foster child shall be relieved of all parental duties toward, and of all responsibility for such foster child, included in that section is this paragraph:
"The rights of a foster child to inheritance and succession from his natural parents remain unaffected by adoption."
Thus, though the annulment decree recited:
"3. That no children were born the issue of said marriage.",
the rights of Valeria Jane Dininny, as the natural child of the parties, conceived during the ante-nuptial period, were not affected. Nor do the provisions of § 111 of the Domestic Relations Law have the slightest bearing on the question herein presented. Appellant also refers to § 1146 and § 1135 of the Civil Practice Act of the State of New York, but this reference likewise is without merit and does not aid the appellant.
The efforts of a grandfather and a mother to override the inherent rights of an innocent child fortunately have no sanction in law. A New York case expresses the rights of a child that meets the circumstances of this case: in In Matter of Landers' Estate, 100 Misc. 635, at pages 640-641, 166 N.Y.S. 1036, at page 1039, the court stated:
"Very likely, because of the change of parents by adoption, the Legislature, that no privileges might be lost to the child, or legal rights formerly possessed, provided that the rights of inheritance and succession from his natural parents should remain unchanged as a result of adoption proceedings."
See also § 115 of the Domestic Relations Law which contains the provision that
"The rights of a foster child to an inheritance and succession from his natural parents remain unaffected by adoption."
Moreover it must be emphasized that this is a Federal case involving a National Service Life Insurance policy, and the affirmation in the adoption proceedings by the father that Valeria was his child is conclusive. See 38 U.S.C.A. § 505(c). Section 505, 38 U.S.C.A. was repealed June 17, 1957, effective January 1, 1958. The repeal, of course, does not affect the relationships and claims prior thereto.) Furthermore Hendrich v. Anderson, 10 Cir., 191 F.2d 242 is in line with the conclusion reached that Valeria's rights under the policy stemming from her father's death could not be cut off by adoption.
The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
