The art of travelling
by Keith Platt
Sometimes, a glimpse of a bunch of plastic-topped pins as he climbs the stairs can spark memories and inspiration for Brian Kewley.
The stairs lead to his studio and the pins dot a map of the world hanging on the wall.
Kewley is an artist who's been documenting his travels on canvas for decades.
Living a seemingly ideal existence on five hectares at Flinders with his wife Gretchen, Kewley is prolific. A back room is filled with his works, framed and unframed.
The cool space is also a great resting – ageing – place for bottles of wine made from grapes grown on their property.
A lawyer for many years, Kewley, 84, has always managed to mix his art with his profession. The art provided an outlet from the intricacies of the laws that required such close attention to detail.
Both disciplines are renowned for involving colourful characters.While specialising in intellectual property and restrictive trade practices, Kewley was nevertheless able to fill hundreds of sketchpads while travelling for business.
Once back home those sketches – some quite colourful and intricate works of their own – became the raw material from which he could re-create sweeping vistas that, when now viewed in total, circumnavigate the world.
His works are often painted from an aerial, or elevated perspective, something he attributes to his belief in astral projection, or the ability to "leave" one's body while sleeping and travel on the astral plane. But more about that later.
Kewley, a lawyer, retired as a partner from fulltime work at 56.
The Flinders property had been bought in 1975 and was among the first to be planted with grapevines on the Mornington Peninsula.
Those early plantings of cabernet, chardonnay and silvana led to later graftings of pinot, shiraz and merlot.
"Ten years ago we pulled out three rows [of grape vines] because we had too much wine," Kewley says, adding that his annual production is now down to about 450 bottles "for friends and family".
"We got our first vintage in 1978 and are now coming up to our 40th."
The Kewleys moved permanently to Flinders three years ago after 55 years at Hampton.
Scenes from the Mornington Peninsula – rural and coastal – are also recorded on canvas and in his sketchpads. One, looking across paddocks yellowed by the sun towards the sea, is used on his wine label (he hand writes the vintage).
Kewley was about 17 when he realised his future would involve painting.
"I got the art bug. I took a sketch book and caught a train to Ferntree Gully [from his Brighton home] and then a bus to Kallista," he recalls. "I did four or five watercolours on the spot.
"That night and the next, when sleeping, I saw projections as if they were on a screen, of painting after painting. I knew that's what I'd have to do in life and haven't stopped since."
Kewley's talk of that dream harks back to an earlier comment he made about his belief in astral projection and out-of-body experiences.
"As a seven-year-old I'd go to sleep and float up through the ceiling and see all the streets lights and go over our roof. That might be why I sometimes like painting from an aerial perspective."
Kewley says scientists cannot explain the phenomena of astral projection or astral travelling.
"I also believe in ghosts," he adds. "People have near death experiences and they see from above and hear doctors or surgeons while they're being operated on."
He has also regularly meditated since he was 17, something that "takes you out of your shallow self".
Kewley's first solo exhibition (he's since had a further 28) was at the long time gone Stagecoach in Melbourne in 1965. That "raging success which practically sold out" was favourably reviewed by Bernard Smith in The Age.
Unable to give name to his style of painting, Kewley describes it as being "naturalistic, with vigour and strength".
He paints mainly landscapes and seascapes – using oils and gouache watercolours either on location or in his studio – without "slavishly following" what he sees.
Although realising art would always be part of his life, Kewley at first planned to be a journalist but after missing out on being a copy boy (there were no cadetships available) he turned toward the law after having a talk "by the river" with his stepfather, County Court judge Leo Dethridge.
"I asked him what am I going to do [when the copy boy job fell through] and he suggested becoming a lawyer. I asked what that meant, and he said 'helping people', which sounded good to me."
These days Kewley has left the orderliness of a law practice far behind.
Recently he noticed reeds were making it hard to walk to his small dam and spent a couple of hours, naked, cutting them back to provide easy access.
It's probably not the picture he left behind in the minds of those behind Melbourne's legal and business circles, but it's a tale he cheerfully tells during his artistic, and secluded, "retirement".

The legendary Anna May Wong on US currency
Despite her success, the "most beautiful Chinese woman on earth" as she was called faced intense racism in Hollywood because of her Asian descent
Anna May Wong is the first Asian-American Hollywood star to appears on a US 25 cent coin, according to the Guardian.
"The fifth coin in the 'American Women Quarters' program honors Anna May Wong, a courageous woman who championed increased representation and more multidimensional roles for Asian American actors," said Ventrice Gibson, director of the United States Mint.
She acted in more than 60 films starting with silent films. She was only nine when she decided to become an actress and at 14 she made her maiden appearance in the film "The Red Lantern" (1919). Her first leading role was in 1922 in the technicolor film The Toll of the Sea.
Despite her success, the "most beautiful Chinese woman on earth" as she was called faced intense racism in Hollywood because of her of her Asian origin, where she was given to play specific characters, was paid little and never got leading roles, Reuters notes. "I got so tired of the roles I had to play," she had said in an interview.
She passed away on February 3, 1961 at the age of just 56. A year earlier she had received her own star on the Walk of Fame.

Crystal Skies' Latest EP, Constellations, and Interview at Mezzanine
Review of Constellations and Interview at Mezzanine SF
Kenny Ngo Send an email December 16, 2019
Photo Credit: Crystal Skies
Crystal Skies is a melodic bass duo who are growing in the U.S. electronic music scene. The men of Crystal Skies are Louisiana native Britian Holcomb and Philadelphia-based Aaron Dawson and the two individuals' innovative style of melodic bass is perfectly synced with a unique dubstep sound. Crystal Skies have recently released remixes for notable tracks such as Slander's "Love Is Gone", Above & Beyond's "There's Only You", and Dabin's "Part Time Lover". Crystal Skies have also produced high-quality original tracks like "Fluorescent Light" featuring KARRA and "Paradise Lost". ONE EDM also interviewed Crystal Skies before their set at San Francisco's Mezzanine on November 30th but first, here is a short review of Constellations.
Review of Constellations
In February of this year, Crystal Skies released a single titled, "Never Change", featuring vocalist Gallie Fisher. The single is added onto Crystal Skies' latest EP, Constellations, which recently released on November 8th under Seven Lions' Ophelia Records label. Constellations is a 5-track EP as it includes four additional tracks. The first is "Run With Me", the second is "Release Me", also featuring Gallie Fisher, the third is "On My Own" featuring Satellite Empire (who'd also featured on Crystal Skies' 2016 EP Serenity, the fourth is the aforementioned "Never Change", and the fifth track is "Feels Right" featuring RUNN.
"Run With Me" is a track that starts off with steady beats and a chill tempo until a mix of mind-blowing bass and catchy loops appeared to enhance the mood. "Release Me" has an somber yet ambient feeling to it as Fisher sings about facing her fears while in the unknown. "On My Own" has rhythmic guitar strumming accompanied by Satellite Empire's tranquil vocals that are later joined up by rising synths and glitch-like notes, designed to get listeners pumped up. "Never Change" contains soft but energetic piano tunes that aligned with awesome sounds of bass and percussion. The penultimate track, "Feels Right", starts off very mellow and then the track produced an atmosphere of euphoria and love with keyboard notes merged with enhanced electro-bass.
Interview at Mezzanine
Kenny Ngo: How did Crystal Skies came to be?
Aaron Dawson: We were both producing music on our own and Britian actually reached out to me and I think he said, "Hey, you wanna collaborate on a track?". He went on to work on a track called "Paradise Lost". It did pretty well, it did a whole lot better than I thought it would. After that track, I wouldn't say "blew up", but it did pretty well, it exceeded our expectations.
Britian Holcomb: It was like a first time thing.
Aaron: Yeah! Then we decided to keep on going.
Britian: Form a duo and see how it takes us. Like about 2014
Aaron: Yeah, about 5-6 years ago.
When you guys formed the duo, how did your friends and families react?
Britian: My parents didn't really care but my friends thought it was kinda cool, especially since this was around the time EDM started to get bigger, I guess.
Aaron: I wouldn't have gotten started producing electronic music if it weren't for my friends in college, specifically my friend Nate who got me into making electronic music. I never thought I would take it this far but I owe it to him for helping me get started. My parents have always been very supportive of whatever I've done, everyone's been very supportive of us trying to do electronic music.
You released "Never Change" with Gallie Fisher in February and "Fluorescent Light" with KARRA last year. How was like it working with them on the tracks?
Aaron: It's incredible! For one thing, they're both amazing vocalists and a vocalist who can change a track, not that the track isn't good, but just take it to an entirely different level. It's just amazing to really be working with talented vocalists and we've been very lucky throughout the entire projects, working with talented vocalists the entire time. Those two are the best for sure!
"Never Change" is your first single released under Seven Lions' Ophelia Records label. How did you guys react after signing onto Ophelia Records?
Britian: It's really cool because we've started making music because I kinda like the genre that we're in, because of him. It's really surreal and it's really cool to be a part of something that he could carry it on.
Aaron: Yeah, I mean, it's really incredible. I've been listening to Jeff's (Seven Lions) music since he's been making it and to actually be working with him and releasing on his record label and like a dream come true.
The B-Sides track of "Never Change" is Carbon, which has tones of darker electro-bass in it. How is it like working with both dubstep and electro-bass?
Britian: Really fun! The first EDM single I've ever heard was Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" so it's cool to do some dubstep stuff, you know, and not stay in one particular genre.
Moving onto your latest EP, Constellations. What are the significant differences between it and your 2016 EP, Serenity?
Aaron: I think one of the main things is that this one, I think, we've gotten a lot better as producers since then. As songwriters as well though, I'm much happy with the way Constellations came out, not that anything from the past we produced was bad, but it's probably my favorite single work. It's probably my favorite collection of songs that we have worked on together as a unit. I guess we haven't made that many EPs
Britian: Yeah, we made maybe 4. Haha! I think this one is more like a realized, full front-to-back theme, I guess. I feel like it like that when I listen to the stuff. That's what we've really been nailing down in the past, what we've always been wanting to do.
Aside from Gallie Fisher, you also collaborated on Constellations with Satellite Empire and RUNN on the tracks, "On My Own" and "Feels Right", respectively. How was it like producing those tracks with them?
Aaron: We've been friends with Satellite Empire for years now. They were releasing "New Dawn" on a label we used to be on. We got to know them pretty well. Of course, RUNN is an amazing vocalist, we've vocal-dubbed for her for a while. We did a track with her, which was amazing, and she definitely killed on the vocals for "Feels Right". It was really amazing to work with the both of them.
The first track on Constellations is "One More Night". In your words, what kind of feeling or mood will the song bring for the listeners?
Aaron: I guess we're trying to go for a track that would be euphoric, emotional, and have that powerful melodic sound. Something that would get people moving down on the dance floor. We weren't trying to do anything deep with it so yeah. Haha!
Are you planning to attend any upcoming festivals soon?
Britian: We're hoping! We haven't put together a schedule for next year but we're definitely hoping to hit up a few festivals in the upcoming year. We haven't lined up anything yet but it's definitely on our radar. It's hard to name one and if you don't get it, it's gonna be awkward.
Aaron: Haha, yeah, yeah, that's right!
Britian: But EDC yeah! Definitely, one day we hope to play there for sure.
What kind of music do you guys like listening to aside from the music you're producing or playing?
Britian: I listen to a lot of down-tempo stuff, like stuff from late-90s to early-2000s. A lot of pop-punk stuff. That's my taste in music outside of EDM.

CAES to support US Army PGK programme with M-Code antennas

Northrop Grumman has selected CAES to provide M-Code global positioning system (GPS) antennas for the US Army's Precision Guidance Kits (PGK).
The estimated value of the contract is approximately $24m.
As part of this award, CAES will deliver a total of 80,000 M-Code antennas to Northrop Grumman over a period of three years to support the production of PGK for the US Army.
Northrop Grumman armament systems vice-president Dave Fine said: "PGK's precision provides a critical capability to artillery units, enabling forces to rapidly achieve mission success while also reducing the number of rounds required to defeat targets."
CAES' M-Code system is used to provide enhanced security and anti-jamming capabilities for critical military navigation. It converts the traditional artillery projectiles into an advanced GPS-guided precision weapon system.
The GPS capability will further allow the forces to engage various critical targets while at the same time reducing the risk of causing collateral damage.
According to CAES, the integration of its GPS technology with PGK will further make it one of the largest programmes of the US Department of Defense.
CAES CEO and president Mike Kahn said: "Our advanced capabilities in antenna design and manufacturing are a natural fit in supporting these advanced munitions.
"We are proud to support Northrop Grumman on the PGK programme to bring accurate, reliable, and affordable precision fires to the army."
CAE has been providing its guidance antennas for the US military systems for nearly a decade. It also manufactures a wide range of extensive antennas and antenna subsystems.
In June 2020, Northrop Grumman announced it would continue PGK production for the 155mm artillery projectiles used by the US Army and US Marine Corps.

Rep. Adam Schiff Sounds Alarms About Trump's Assault On DOJ And Rule Of Law
Trump's hysterical demands the DOJ/FBI find the "spy" in his campaign is just another distraction, says Schiff. An opportunity to put the investigators on trial.
2 years ago by John Amato
In the next chapter of the latest saga, an aggrieved and allegedly "hunted" Trump demands "Justice" with a capital "J." Our Dear Royal Tangerine Water Balloon is DEMANDING, I SAY! the DOJ find out if there was a spy planted in his golden tower during the campaign.
Wolf Blitzer discussed the matter and its implications with Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) on his show today. Schiff accurately describe this as an alarming assault on the independence of the rule of law, and the Justice Department itself.
BLITZER: California Congressman Adam Schiff. He's the top Democrat on the House Intelligence committee. What do you think about the President yesterday saying, I hereby demand that they look into, that they find out if this informant, or what he called a spy for all practical purposes, was authorized to go ahead and establish these contacts with Trump campaign officials?
SCHIFF: I think, second to the firing of Comey, this is the most direct assault on the independence of the Justice Department, the most direct effort to interfere with this investigation of the Trump campaign. It's deeply disturbing. It obviously puts the Justice Department in a very difficult position. Normally you would expect if the Congress were trying to erode the Department's independence or compromise an investigation that the President would protect the Department, and conversely, if the President were trying to do it, the Congress would protect the Department. But here we have a weak Speaker. We have members of Congress that are only too happy to be complicit with the President in beating down the independence of the Justice Department. This is a major threat to the rule of law.
With his trademark incisiveness, he called it out as yet another diversion. Noting that Deputy AG Rosenstein has asked the Inspector General to look into his demands, Schiff went on with his bad self to call the entire thing nonsense.
SCHIFF: I think they're trying to figure out how to skin this cat at the Justice Department, how to, on the one hand, not be insubordinate to an order by the President, but on the other hand, make sure they don't erode the independence of the Justice Department. They've kicked it to the Inspector General. I am concerned with some of the comments of the Deputy Attorney General suggesting, "we'll look into whether there is any legitimate concern about a politically embedded spy." They know that's nonsense and I hate to see them say anything to give it credence.
BLITZER: Tell me why you feel it's nonsense.
SCHIFF: Because it simply didn't happen. And when you hear reports, as was just related, that there is concern in the White House about this, there is not concern in the White House about this. There is a sense of opportunity. Let's exploit any doubt we can create. This is a defense strategy. Put the government on trial. When the evidence looks increasingly incriminating of your client, in this case, the President, put the investigators on trial, and that's all they're trying to do here. The question is will Congress go along with it? Sadly, you have a few members of Congress who are actively trying to help the President with this, and the rest, in terms of the governing party, are remaining silent.
BEZZACTLY. Say that for the people in the back nice and loud, Adam, baby!
"[T]here is not concern in the White House about this. There is a sense of opportunity."
This is how the "Administration" currently scuzzing up the air in the White House does things. They aren't "concerned." They're opportunistic. They're agents of destruction and corrosion. If it's possible to throw a smoke bomb so they get away with a little more grifting, they'll do it.
Case in point? Schiff's assessment of the Inspector General Trump has entrusted with this task, Michael Horowitz.
BLITZER: Do you have confidence in the Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who has now been charged with looking into this?
SCHIFF: He has a good reputation. I have to say, though, i'm concerned with one of the decisions that may have come out of his office already. And that is, there was a decision to accelerate the investigation into Andrew McCabe, the decision that he could be fired before his pension vested. There is nothing irregular about his being part of that broad investigation, but It is very unusual to say of this broad investigation, we're going to pick this one piece, this one individual, and we're going to put him on a fast track so he can be fired before his pension. The fact the President was openly calling for him to be fired before he got his pension looks like it had its intended effect. If that's the case, then the independence of the Inspector General is at risk. There are lots of concerns both in terms of the Department and the Inspector General. But more broadly, we see a wholesale assault on the rule of law...
Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for decent and articulate Congressmen like Adam Schiff for being willing to call it like it is.

Support relationships between F5 and Red Hat provide a full scope of support for F5 integration. F5 provides support for the F5 BIG-IP® product. Both F5 and Red Hat jointly support the integration with Red Hat OpenShift. While Red Hat helps with bug fixes and feature enhancements, all get communicated to F5 Networks where they are managed as part of their development cycles.
HA mode for the F5 BIG-IP®.
As a prerequisite to working with the openshift-F5 integrated router, two virtual servers (one virtual server each for HTTP and HTTPS profiles, respectively) need to be set up in the F5 BIG-IP® appliance.
To set up a virtual server in the F5 BIG-IP® appliance, follow the instructions from F5.
Specifies the F5 BIG-IP® user name (typically admin). The F5 BIG-IP user account must have access to the Advanced Shell (Bash) on the F5 BIG-IP system.
As with the HAProxy router, the oc adm router command creates the service and deployment configuration objects, and thus the replication controllers and pod(s) in which the F5 router itself runs. The replication controller restarts the F5 router in case of crashes. Because the F5 router is watching routes, endpoints, and nodes and configuring F5 BIG-IP® accordingly, running the F5 router in this way, along with an appropriately configured F5 BIG-IP® deployment, should satisfy high-availability requirements.
Partition paths allow you to store your OpenShift Container Platform routing configuration in a custom F5 BIG-IP® administrative partition, instead of the default /Common partition. You can use custom administrative partitions to secure F5 BIG-IP® environments. This means that an OpenShift Container Platform-specific configuration stored in F5 BIG-IP® system objects reside within a logical container, allowing administrators to define access control policies on that specific administrative partition.
See the F5 BIG-IP® documentation for more information about administrative partitions.
This section reviews how to set up F5 native integration with OpenShift Container Platform. The concepts of F5 appliance and OpenShift Container Platform connection and data flow of F5 native integration are discussed in the F5 Native Integration section of the Routes topic.
Only F5 BIG-IP® appliance version 12.x and above works with the native integration presented in this section. You also need sdn-services add-on license for the integration to work properly. For version 11.x, follow the instructions to set up a ramp node.
As of OpenShift Container Platform version 3.4, using native integration of F5 with OpenShift Container Platform does not require configuring a ramp node for F5 to be able to reach the pods on the overlay network as created by OpenShift SDN.
The F5 controller pod needs to be launched with enough information so that it can successfully directly connect to pods.
Launch the F5 controller pod, following these instructions. Additionally, allow the access to 'node' cluster resource for the service account and use the two new additional options for VXLAN native integration.
The F5 setup is now ready, without the need to set up the ramp node.

Curtain –Up on new theatrical costume store
The Curtain has officially gone up on Theatrical Costume Hire, which was launched last Friday 14 May in the WIN Business Park, Newry. Set against a backdrop of mini-sets, a walk-through of costumes from musicals was staged, alongside a vast array of outfits depicting the changes of historical fashion from medieval to the present day.
Performing the honours at a special reception was actor, author and broadcaster, Ivan Little, best known as a UTV news reporter and more recently for his outstanding stage role in "The History of the Troubles According to my Da."
And it really was 'curtain-up' at the launch when Ivan unveiled a specially commissioned plaque marking his attendance at this important event.
"This is a tremendous business, which deserves the success it has achieved. I was taken aback by the high quality costumes, as well as the level of dedication and determination shown by this dynamic company. They have taken an idea, made it real and nurtured it to the point of diversification, whist maintaining a strong commitment to delivery and indeed, the customer. It has been my pleasure to be part of this launch. To use a phrase synonymous with me, the success of this business has been phenomenal!"
'Theatrical Costume Hire' is a family owned business based in Newry. The business is part of 'The Costume Corner Hire' which was established in 2007 and grew from 'The Costume Corner Ltd' which since 2005 has been meeting the needs of the fancy dress party goer throughout Ireland.
Set up by two sisters - Glenda and Ingrid Douglas, the company is one of Ireland's largest theatrical and historical costume providers and are aptly placed to coordinate any requirements that individuals or groups may have when costuming their production, event or launch. A huge range of full cast productions can be catered for while the vast historical wardrobe allows for the promotion or launch of events that benefit from an accurate historic theme.
Alongside the hire department Theatrical Costume Hire also provide an event production service with superbly qualified staff trained in living history interpretation. Bespoke costumed events can be created in the form of Murder Mystery Evenings, Themed Banquets, Corporate events, Meet-&-Greet or even Weddings.
The company were chosen to costume a specialist film production for the National Geographic Channel in the Making History series. Not only did Theatrical Costume Hire play a major role in filming, Ingrid was brought on set as wardrobe mistress. Production Director Denis Minihan said,
"Ingrid and the girls provided costumes for us and couldn't have been more polite, helpful and professional especially during the shoot and we can't praise them more highly. Their costumes were fantastic and they had a huge range for us to choose from."
Co-Director Glenda, said, "We are keen to build upon the success to date with the launch of the new branding for this exciting business. During the last number of years we have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to provide a superb all-round package to amateur societies, councils, businesses, government agencies, schools, colleges, universities, corporate clients, festivals, charities, sporting organisations, photographers, PR and marketing agencies and more recently TV and Film production companies."

Johann Kies (September 14, 1713 – July 29, 1781) was a German astronomer and mathematician.  Born in Tübingen, Kies worked in Berlin in 1751 alongside Jérôme Lalande in order to make observations on the lunar parallax in concert with those of Nicolas Louis de Lacaille at the Cape of Good Hope.

From 1742 to 1754, at the recommendation of the mathematician Leonhard Euler, he was made professor of mathematics at Berlin's Academy of Sciences and astronomer at its observatory.  His reports from this time include De la Situation la plus avantageuse des planètes pour découvrir les irrégularités de leurs mouvemens, Sur les Éclipses des étoiles fixes par la lune, and Description d'un instrument qui se trouve à l'observatoire de Berlin  .  In his Rapport de quelques observations célestes faites à l'observatoire Royal, Kies wrote, "Observations on eclipses are extremely useful, especially the ones that are exact.  They serve primarily to understand, if the theories on the Sun and the Moon are well or badly ascertained in the astronomical tables, and can either confirm them, or give us a need to reform them."

He subsequently taught also at the Collegium of Tübingen.  From 1754 to 1755, Kies served as director of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut in Heidelberg.

Kies was one of the first to propagate Newton's discoveries in Germany, and dedicated two of his works to the Englishman: De viribus centralibus (Tübingen, 1758) and De lege gravitatis (Tübingen, 1773).  Kies is also the author of a work on lunar influences: De influxu lunae in partes terrae mobiles (Tübingen, 1769).  He wrote many other works, both in French and in Latin, on astronomy.

Kies corresponded with Euler from 1747 to 1767.  Their correspondence consists of 8 letters, all of which were written by Kies.

The crater Kies on the Moon is named after him.

Sometimes we all suffer from inflammation in our bodies.(After your medical examination of course) you can take help from herbal teas to reduce inflammation (and support your treatment).
While searching herbal teas that I can use as treatment (or support my treatment) I'm trying different herbal teas and decide if I'll drink it again or never J I can say that below recommendations,mostly their taste are good ,but I'll give a secret,rose hip tea is the best !
Everyone knows and drinks green tea I guess.It has amazing health benefits.Plus helps to loose weight /support your diet.
I have to say that it's an amazing tea to fight with inflammation.Also amazing antioxidant.
Helps to decrease cholesterol and fight against cancer.
You can drink a cup of green tea everyday.
Beside nauseation ginger reduces inflammation and calms knee pain that caused by arthritis.
First I have to mention that 'If you're using blood thinner,please AVOID TO DRINK/DON'T DRINK this tea.!
Just slice ginger and steep up about 10-12 mins.You can add lemon if you wish.
Rose hip is well known by vitamin C.But did you know that because of phytochemical and galactolipids ,it has anti inflammatory effect ? Rose hip is good for osteoarthritis and articular inflammations.
Turmeric is known as pain killer.With this it has anti inflammatory effect.Turmeric includes curcumin which is a strong antioxidant that fights with enzyme which causes inflammations.
You can mix 5 gr. of turmeric (¼ of teaspoon) with 5 gr. of ginger (¼ of teaspoon) if you wish and steep about 10-15 mins.

We live in a digital age, where technology is intrinsic to our daily lives. The rise of educational technology alongside the everyday means that students today learn in a far different manner to the ways that their parents and teachers were taught.
Where once children learnt via encyclopedias and atlases, it is now the norm for them to turn to online sources for their information. The internet, in fact, has become the go-to source of almost all educational information.
In addition to this, students use the internet to socialise, connect with peers, share their opinions, express themselves, and communicate. Unfortunately, the flexibility of the internet combined with its mass appeal also means that from time to time it is used in a disruptive way. Hacking, trolling, cyberstalking and cyberbullying are just some of the negative outcomes of internet abuse. While many schools have been successful in integrating internet technology within the curriculum, few focus on training students on how to use it effectively.
It is therefore imperative that students are taught digital etiquette along with digital literacy – not just to protect them from harmful activities, but also to prevent them from abusing the technology themselves.
Digital literacy (also called as digital citizenship) etiquette involves teaching students to use technology – especially the internet – correctly, effectively and safely. Here are the top five digital skills every student should be taught to make sure they are using the internet safely and responsibly.
Digital learning: While most children are good at accessing the internet, few know how to search for reliable information effectively. As a result, more often than not, students end up referring to sites such as Wikipedia or online forums, where content isn't necessarily fact-checked. Students need to be taught how to check documents for reliability when looking for information such as verifiable citations. This includes being aware of reliable information sources such as EBSCO, JSTOR and TED talks, among others.
Another common problem of online learning is that students tend to copy and paste blindly from different websites, often plagiarising others' work without being aware of it. Teachers have a responsibility to teach students about copyrights and permissions so that children can use resources responsibly – as well as this, they would be smart to learn how to protect their own work, which they might post online.
Responsibility: Because the internet makes sharing information and opinions so incredibly easy, it can be quite difficult to draw boundaries. Students should be taught early about the importance of using the internet responsibly: opinions written online are often difficult to alter or even to delete, and it's entirely possible for them to stay in cyberspace forever. This information is also easily accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. It is therefore important to teach students how to conduct online discussions correctly, without indulging in bullying or provocative behaviour, otherwise known as trolling. By teaching students to find a balance between being respectful of others opinions and clearly expressing their own views online, we can avoid instances of trolling and bullying.
Privacy and safety: Teaching students about safety online is paramount to their welfare, as this extends far beyond avoiding posting personal information online. Students often feel safe on the internet, especially within the realms of social media accounts, where they post personal information. However, a wide variety of automatic privacy settings and geotagging used by social media platforms – means it is increasingly easy to pinpoint the location where a post or picture was uploaded. Recent examples in which children have harmed themselves while playing games such as Pokemon Go have only highlighted the need to teach people the importance of personal safety when using electronics.
Personal safety on the internet includes password protection, careful monitoring of privacy settings, and disabling cookies and geotagging functions.
Psychological welfare is just as important as physical safety. Students should therefore also be taught to protect themselves against internet trolls and online propaganda by learning to identify such individuals and the messages they post – and understanding above all not to engage with them.
Etiquette: How often have you walked into a waiting room or an airport and seen everyone around you busy on their phones? Or had a dramatic movie twist ruined by someone's phone ringing in the audience? Aside from being annoying, bad digital etiquette can also lead to serious harm to yourself or others: using electronic devices that are not switched to airplane mode on a flight can interfere with the plane's operational controls, and electromagnetic radiation caused by phones or tablets can impair electronic medical equipment, leading to potentially serious consequences for patients. Digital etiquette shows students when it is inappropriate to use gadgets, such as during teaching time – or crossing a road.
Networking: Digital media has changed how contacts are made. Increasingly, social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter, among others, are being used to build professional networks. We need to teach students how to use these platforms properly, building professional networks online to help with future professional successes. We should also recognise that as businesses move further into the future, their dependence on technology increases – whether for teleconferencing, networking, or developing and promoting their products. It is our responsibility to ensure students are adept at using various technological platforms to help them prepare for future job markets.

The swan-like person looks for the good in others. When they meet someone new, they overlook the bad qualities. After all, which one of us is perfect? Who among us hasn't lied at some time? Who hasn't made a costly mistake, one to regret later on?
The saintly person is like a swan in this way, which can separate milk from a mixture of water and milk. The saint understands that each person derives their strength from the same source. Prahlada Maharaja, the wise son of a king, once tried to explain this to his father, who was wicked in nature.
The asura is crow-like. They tend to behave the opposite of the saint. They see someone and immediately look for faults. It's not difficult. You can criticize any type of clothing. Each person has a unique way of walking, and so that is eligible for ridicule, as well.
The asura is constantly threatened, so they size up other people, whom they view as competition. Deep down the naradhama, the lowest among men, knows that death will finish everything. They try to prolong life as much as possible, enjoying the senses to the fullest. Lying, cheating and stealing are okay, because hey, you only live once.
The standard bearer for the asuras is Ravana, who was actually in a Rakshasa body. This is a kind of man-eating ogre. He was strongly against God, to the point that when he saw the Divine directly he was not moved in the proper direction. He looked for faults. He scanned the visual and known activities for any vulnerabilities.
Fortunately, the Supreme Lord is not a miser in this area. He gives to everyone what they want. As they surrender to Him, He rewards accordingly. If the asura wants to compete with Him, Bhagavan allows for that competition to take place.
In the avatara of Shri Rama, the Divine gave signs of vulnerability to Ravana by living in the forest of Dandaka. The king of Lanka could never understand this. Ravana lived in a city literally made of gold. He was extremely wealthy, had tremendous fighting prowess, and was intoxicated constantly. In summary, there was no shortage of material enjoyment, as many beautiful queens lived in the palaces.
Ravana thought Rama was weak for having left the kingdom of Ayodhya at the order of the mother and father. Rama should have fought back. Perhaps He was afraid. Maybe He was lacking confidence. This was Ravana's line of thinking.
One can imagine the demon's thought process were he to witness pastimes from several years prior. Goswami Tulsidas provides a glimpse in his Dohavali. The poet says that Rama plays in the courtyard of the king, Maharaja Dasharatha. Rama is beautifully dressed. He wears nice jewels and necklaces. At the same time, the limbs are dirty. This is because Rama plays in the dirt.
God is not alone. He is with the three younger brothers: Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna. They are also in the childhood stage of life. The other children from the community are there, and together everyone is playing. Rama speaks like a child, also, which means that His sentences and words aren't perfect.
The enemy would use this as fuel for their way of life. How can God speak like a child? How can He have limbs covered with dirt? How can He be dependent on others for feeding? These are signs of weakness.
The saints know the truth, that in any form Bhagavan retains His true potency. Before there were any visible signs of manhood on His face, Shri Rama defended against one of Ravana's most skilled advisors, Maricha. The testimony was relayed directly to Ravana later on, as a warning to not misjudge Rama.
Indeed, the child Rama once swallowed a devotee crow and showed the universal form from within His belly. Whether large or small, no one can measure up to God. The saints take delight in His childhood pastimes, and they know that they are protected from Ravana and those like him, who try to make the material world even more miserable than it already is. Those who have Rama's protection can cross over the ocean of suffering easily, as if it were like jumping over a small puddle.
That playing on dirt to fall.
That Ravana harsh lesson to find.
By ample evidence not discouraged.


House Plants: What Energies May You Be Inadvertently Drawing To Your Home?
A few years ago, I made an acquaintance with someone new in town. We were working together, and when she first started she was a lovely, happy person, full of excitement about her new job and new life with her family. It wasn't long, though, before things went downhill.
Her husband was diabetic and no matter how careful he was to control it, it just kept getting worse. Money problems seemed never-ending; one unfortunate surprise after another hit, and bills piled up. Her five year old daughter was developing behavioral problems. The woman began to suffer from fatigue and depression, and with each passing month she looked worse and worse, growing more and more worried, looking more and more defeated.
I visited her home for the first time and notice a small cup with pink and white cut flowers in them sitting on the table—yikes! She said they grew on bushes in the yard and her daughter liked to bring them in the house because they were so pretty.
I had to explain to her that the flowers were oleander, and that she needed to get rid of them. Not only are oleander highly poisonous and unsafe for a child to handle, but Italian folklore has held for centuries that bringing oleander into the house brought nothing but illness and misfortune.
Some might call it a coincidence—but shortly after she stopped bringing the flowers in the house and had the bushes trimmed down to the nub, her husband's conditions improved. He was able to work overtime and work down their accumulated debt. The family became happier, the child gave her fewer problems and within just a few short weeks she was looking great and feeling optimistic about the future again.
A lot of people don't think about the type of plants they bring into the home—they choose them because they're pretty or easy to take care of. But plants have a way of drawing and repelling distinct energies that can really have an effect on the household.
Blackthorn: legend has it that the crown of thorns placed on Christ's head was made of blackthorns, and that the plant has been cursed ever since. Death is said to follow when this plant blossoms indoors.
Broom: this plant has long been used in folk magic for purification and cleansing, and hanging a bunch of cut broom from the rafters is a great way to spiritually cleanse the home. Don't bring in the whole plant, though; not only is it toxic, but it draws bad luck.
Euphorbia: folklore associated with this plant says that if brought indoors can it strike the household systematically down with illnesses. It has very protective energies, particularly when a new baby is brought into the house. Cut stems and leaves may be brought in safely, however the plant should remain outdoors to grow and safeguard the house from bad luck.
Hydrangea: this plant is not so much dangerous if grown indoors, but can really put a damper on your love life. Unmarried maidens are said to remain unmarried if hydrangea is grown in the house.
African Violet: Sacred to the Goddess Venus, this plant promotes spiritual vibrations and energies within the home.
Ferns: there is a reason they're such popular houseplants. Ferns radiate with protective energies, they repel negative energies and evil spirits.
Jasmine: Growing jasmine indoor draws peaceful, loving energies. If grown in the bedroom, the scent of the blossoms are known to induce prophetic dreams.
Money Plant: the name says it all. This plant is said to bring prosperity to wherever it's grown.
Pennyroyal: If there is arguing in the house, bring in a pennyroyal and it will bring harmony and peace. This plant is toxic, though, so be careful with pets or children.

A force acting on an object accelerates it up to a speed v after starting from rest. Does accelerating to that speed in a shorter time increase or decrease the amount of work done by the force?
Shorter time means a bigger force so more work is done.
Shorter time means the car travels a shorter distance so less work is done.
Same change in kinetic energy regardless of time, so the same amount of work is done.
An object moves around a closed path so its displacement for the entire motion is zero. Can you conclude that the work done is zero?
Yes, no displacement implies no work.
No, the work done in going around a closed path is always negative.
No, the work done in going around a closed path is always positive.
Not enough information is given to determine whether the work is zero, positive, or negative.
Can an object have a net negative work done on it with a magnitude greater than its kinetic energy?
Yes, there is no limit to the amount of work done on the object.
No, once the kinetic energy is brought to zero, no more negative work can be done on the object.
An object on which a constant force F is acting starts from rest and reaches a speed v after a distance d. What force is required to increase its speed from zero to 2v in a distance 2d?
1. Standing where they were initially.
2. Standing further away from each other.
3. Moving away from each other.
4. Moving towards each other.
A cart on an air track is moving at 0.5 m/s when the air is suddenly turned off. The cart comes to rest after traveling 1 m. The experiment is repeated, but now the same cart is moving at 1 m/s when the air is turned off. How far does the cart now travel before coming to rest?
Two carts are put back-to-back on a track. Cart A has a spring-loaded piston; cart B, which has twice the inertial mass of cart A, is entirely passive. When the piston is released, cart A pushes against cart B, and the carts move apart. How do the magnitudes of their final momenta p and kinetic energies K compare?
1. pA > pB, KA > KB.
2. pA > pB, KA = KB.
3. pA > pB, KA < KB.
4. pA = pB, KA > KB.
5. pA = pB, KA = KB.
6. pA = pB, KA < KB.
7. pA < pB, KA > KB.
8. pA < pB, KA = KB.
9. pA < pB, KA < KB.
The linear density of a long thin rod, of length L, decreases from a value of d at the left end to zero at the right end. How far from the left end is the rod�s center-of-mass located?
Which of the following units may be used to describe linear momentum?
A ball of mass m is projected with speed vi into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M, initially at rest on a frictionless surface (see Figure below). The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. No energy is lost due to friction.
a) What is the speed of the spring gun after the ball comes to rest in the barrel?
b) What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring?
Express all your answers in terms of m, M, and vi.
A steel ball of mass m is fastened to a cord of length L and is released when the cord is horizontal (see Figure). At the bottom of its path the ball strikes a block of mass M (M > m), initially at rest. The kinetic friction coefficient between the block and the surface is equal to �k (neglect static friction). The collision is elastic.
a) Find the velocity of the ball just before the collision.
b) What is the tension in the cord just before the collision?
c) Find the velocity of the ball and block just after the collision.
d) What is the tension in the cord just after the collision?
e) What is the maximum height the ball reaches after the collision?
f) Calculate the distance traveled by the block before coming to rest.
Express all your answers in terms of m, M, L, g, and �k.
A small block of mass m slides along a frictionless loop-the-loop track as shown in the Figure below. The block is released from rest at point P.
a) Draw a force diagram of all forces acting on the block at point A.
b) What is the velocity of the block at point A?
c) Draw a force diagram of all forces acting on the block at point B.
d) What is the net force acting on the block at point B? Specify the magnitude and the direction of the net force.
e) At what height above the bottom of the loop should the block be released so that it is in the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop (point C)?
Express all your answers in terms of m, g, and R.
