A sermon delivered Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation on January 7, 2007
Opening Words
To worship is to stand in awe under a heaven of stars, before a flower, a leaf in sunlight or a grain of sand.
To worship is to be silent, receptive, before a tree astir with the wind or the passing shadow of a cloud.
To worship is to work with dedication and with skill, it is to pause from work and listen to a strain of music.
To worship is to sing with the singling beauty of the earth: It is to listen through a storm to the still small voice within.
Worship is a loneliness seeking communion; it is a thirsty land crying out for rain.
Worship is kindred fire within our hearts; it moves through deeds of kindness and through acts of love.
Worship is the mystery within us reaching out to the mystery beyond.
It is an inarticulate silence yearning to speak; Worship is the window of the moment open to the sky of the Eternal.
Jacob Trapp
Humility Sermon:
When I first began attending a Unitarian Universalist church - this was at the Hayward church in the late 1980s - I eagerly soaked in everything new that I was learning. One Sunday I remember distinctly was a lay-led service by a dearly beloved elderly couple who had been members for a long time. They had just been on a religious pilgrimage to Japan, where they visited representatives of a number of progressive Japanese religions, and their service was a report of their adventures on this trip. The religion they spoke of that I particularly remember was a religion named Ittoen founded in 1904. Members of this religion seek to live a life having no possessions and in humble service to others. They believe that true world peace must begin with resolving and removing seeds of dispute from the hearts of individual men and women. Their chief religious ritual practice is called Rokuman Gyogan, and consists of humbling oneself by cleaning toilets.
The picture on the front of the order of service today shows two people engaged in this practice. They believe this humble act purifies them for the future of the world without conflict.
There was something so striking about this story that I remember it clearly nearly 20 years later. (We should have all of our sermons remembered for 20 years!) I think it was the idea that doing one of the lowest most humble tasks in life, cleaning toilets, could be a religious act, and that this could prepare us for world peace. At first I thought "You've got to be kidding!" Surely, cleaning toilets couldn't be a central religious ritual for a modern religion! This idea was vastly different from any religious thinking that I had been exposed to.
But, they weren't kidding. Doing a lowly task can be part of a religious practice - allowing one to demonstrate humility. I think this was this "radical" idea that struck me so clearly when I first heard it.
A person who has humility, a humble person, is generally regarded as unpretentious and modest, someone quiet, self-effacing, understated, someone who doesn't think or act like he or she is better or more important than others. I need to make clear that humility is not to be confused with humiliation, which is the act of making someone else feel ashamed, and is seen as something completely different.
In studying this subject, I have learned that humility is a greatly prized virtue in all of the major religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Tao, Judaism, Islam, Sikh, and Hindu and the spiritual leaders that formed and lead them. Please join me now in the responsive readings from the insert in your order of service. You will read the italic entries.
Responsive Reading (Congregation reads the italics entries)
Judaism: What does the LORD require of thee, but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God? - Micah 6:8
Christianity: For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.' - Luke 14:11
Islam: "The true servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth humbly" - Koran (25:64)
Buddhism: Let one be strenuous, upright and sincere, without pride, easily contented and joyous... Let one be wise, but not puffed up. Metta Sutta
Taoism:
The sage accepts the world
As the world accepts the Way;
He does not display himself, so is clearly seen,
Does not justify himself, so is recognized,
Does not boast, so is credited,
Does not pride himself, so endures,
Does not contend, so none contend against him.
- Tao Te Ching
Sikh: "Humility is my mace; becoming the dust of everybody's feet is my sword. No evil doer can dare withstand these weapons" - Sorath 80
The Sermon Continued
Each religion has extended and refined the concept of humility, expressing it in a way that fit that religion's theology. For example, it has been observed that for Judaism, humility is more than just a virtue: it is a form of perception, a language in which the "I" is silent so that I can hear the "Thou" of the other. Jesus said "Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven" and in Christianity, humility became the first virtue because it removes the obstacles to faith. In Islam the faithful prostrate themselves to the ground five times a day to acknowledge mankind's utmost lowliness and humility before the Allah. In the Buddhism, humility is one of the ten sacred qualities attributed to Buddha, a natural by-product of supreme spiritual attainment that transcends the ego. For followers of Taoism, humility is one of the three major jewels to be sought by believers. Sikhs believe that God is present in every living soul, and therefore to injure the feelings of another person is to hurt the God in him. Thus, the humble man, will serve others without material motive or the expectation of reward because of his love of God and man.
"But," I can hear you thinking, "This is fine for religious founders and extremists, but most of us don't live in a world like that. Our daily life consists of living in a competitive, winner-take-all world. What place does humility have in this kind of world? We may consider humility a hindrance to success and a by-product of failure. How can anyone achieve success without ambition and a competitive spirit? Who does not feel elated and proud after accomplishing something great? Humility can appear to be a foreign concept in a capitalist economy.
"And further," you may be thinking, "psychologists universally think that self-esteem is critical for psychological health. On the surface we might think that self-esteem is the opposite of humility. Can humility and self-esteem be reconciled?"
To respond to these observations, I'll tell some stories.
First I'll tell a story from my own experience. When I was hospitalized in the psychiatric ward for the first time shortly after my daughter was born, I was scared, I felt humiliated. I didn't want to think I was anything like "these people" - the other patients. It was a very painful experience that I was determined not to repeat.
However, eight years later when I was hospitalized for the second time, subjectively it was completely different: these other patients were all God's children, like me. Seeing myself as being worthy in God's eyes, no better or worse than anyone else, completely altered my experience of hospitalization. I wasn't afraid. In fact, as strange as it may sound, I was happy.
Looking back at these experiences from a vantage point, I can see that in my first hospitalization, I lacked humility, trying to maintain the idea that I was better than the others, and hating myself for being in the situation. Eight years later, I was a humble human soul, the same as the least of my fellow patients. From this experience of mine, I can tell you that feeling humility was vastly better than trying to feel superior. I could just be, without being scared and miserable in striving to convince myself that I was better.
At least in this experience, being humble I had a far better self-esteem than unsuccessfully trying to preserve my self-concept of being superior.
I have another story about me. At one point in my therapy with my psychiatrist, a man with both a deep spiritual life and excellent therapeutic skills, I was unhappily grousing to him about being delegated to some lesser role that I thought I deserved at work. He told me that when he goes on a retreat he sweeps the floors, and he does it with love, because it is the love that you put into a job, rather than what others think of the job, that is most important. The instant I heard this, it hit me, "This is truth." And listening to that message has made so much difference in my life.
A Third Story
The last story is by Jonathan Sacks, chief rabbi of Great Britain, and tells how he as a young man, he had met Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He had heard many tales of his charisma and extraordinary leadership, many verging on the miraculous and he resolved to meet him if possible.
He relates, "I did, meet him and was utterly surprised. He was certainly not charismatic in any conventional sense. Quiet, self-effacing, understated, one might hardly have noticed him had it not been for the reverence in which he was held by his disciples. That meeting, though, changed my life. He was a world-famous figure. I was an anonymous student. Yet in his presence I seemed to be the most important person in the world. He asked me about myself; he listened carefully; he challenged me to become a leader, something I had never contemplated before. Quickly it became clear to me that he believed in me more than I believed in myself. As I left the room, it occurred to me that it had been full of my presence and his absence....There was no grandeur in his manner; neither was there any false modesty. He was serene, dignified, and majestic; a man of transcending humility who gathered you into his embrace and taught you to look up."
I might add that we should all be lucky enough to meet such a remarkable person in our lives.
What Self Esteem is
Next let's look at what self esteem is. The term "self-esteem" is one of the oldest concepts in psychology, having been first coined by American psychologist and philosopher William James in 1890. It is a person's mental perception of his or her own qualities. Simply stated, self-esteem is knowing yourself and your abilities well enough so that it is not what others think of you that matters, but what you know to be true about yourself. It keeps you from bending under the strong will of another person, asserting yourself and your rights as a person.
Among psychologists and other mental health professionals, there is general agreement with the notion that self-esteem is a basic human need. That is, it is indispensable to normal and healthy self-development, and has a value for survival.
How humility and self-esteem are compatible Psychotherapist Nathaniel Branden explained self-esteem to be "the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness. This means trust in your ability to think, learn, make appropriate decisions, and respond effectively to new conditions. It also means confidence in your right to experience success and personal fulfillment-the conviction that happiness is appropriate to you." Thus, self-esteem is experienced as a part of, or background to, all of an individual's thoughts, feelings and actions.
A humble person's self-esteem is an accurate, not over-estimated, not-underestimated view of his or her abilities and worthiness. One can stand one's ground when challenged, cope with failures, and not be overly proud of one's successes.
I believe that humility is very much compatible with this definition of self-esteem. I'll go further to say that both of these concepts, humility and self-esteem are compatible with our first Unitarian Universalist principle: the inherent worth and dignity of all people. All are worthy of happiness, just by being human beings. All can see themselves as able to face the basic challenges of life - which we all do to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes we need others to help us, sometimes we can do this alone. All of the time, we are worthy of what some call the Grace of God, and others term the benevolent connection to all of creation.
There is a further connection between humility and Unitarian Universalism. Direct experience of the transcending mystery and wonder is the first Unitarian Universalist source of truth. We stand in awe of a creation of vast and unlimited beauty. Our response is humility. The link between direct religious experience and humility has been observed by Franciscan priest Richard Rohr. In a recent NPR broadcast, he said, "People who have really met the Holy are always humble. It's the people who don't know who usually pretend that they do. People who've had any genuine spiritual experience always know they don't know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind. It is a litmus test for authentic God experience, and is -- quite sadly -- absent from much of our religious conversation today. My belief and comfort is in the depths of Mystery, which should be the very task of religion." Further, UU minister Barbara Wells says that, "At the root of all direct human experience of the Holy are the two essentials for a true Universalist faith: humility and awe."
Humility theology: Unites science and religion
In my research for this sermon, I've discovered that there is a branch of theology called "humility theology." Humility theology is predicated on the assumption that there is far more to know about God and the natural world than is now known or ever will be known. In this theology, both the scientist and the theologian stand in awe of the vastness of the existing cosmos, acknowledging the smallness of human beings in their ability to understand and take actions. Humility theologians see their work as being complementary with the work being done by scientists. The common ground where humility theologians and scientists meet is where speculation and experimentation serve as the means of inquiry. Both posit assumptions and theories and test them using rules of reasoning and logic. Both realize that they won't be able to discover the complete "truth" within this vastness, but are driven to try.
In his book The humble approach: scientists discover God, psychologist David G. Myers offers readers a theological perspective that lends support to humility theology. He cites the observation of the writer/poet Madeline L'Engle that the unaided intellect is an extraordinarily inaccurate instrument, Myers says, "...that is why, rather than trusting our unaided intuition, we do science. This perspective disposes a healthy attitude for approaching all of life: to be critical, but not cynical, curious, but not gullible, open, but not exploitable-in a word, to be humble." And that these methodologies are practiced by both scientists and theologians.
Being trained as a scientist for my first career, I find it fascinating that humility can be a meeting place for science and religion, where they can find commonality. Maybe this is part of why this idea grabbed me so much when I first heard it in Hayward. Cleaning toilets being the way to unite science and religion? Fascinating! I would never have guessed it.
Humility in the Capitalist world
Next, I'd like to address the question of whether humility is practical in today's world. Our daily life consists of living in a competitive, winner-take-all world. How does one practice humility in this kind of world? Is humility practical?
It has been observed [Dr. Sawraj Singh a Sikh active in social justice issues [Chairman of Washington State Network for Human Rights, and Chairman of Central Washington Coalition for Social Justice] that "religion and spirituality were considered impediments towards the unbridled growth of capitalism because they promoted the values of moderation, austerity, humility, and restraint. These qualities prevent people from becoming good consumers. Capitalism needs the exact opposite values to be successful: extravagance, arrogance, selfishness, and greed in order to make people better consumers."
But do better consumers imply happier, more secure people with more meaningful lives?
To explore answering these questions, I turn to a paper entitled "I'm glad that I'm a nobody: A positive psychology of humility," written by the psychologist Paul T. P. Wong. First, he makes a distinction between the quest for significance vs. selfish ambition, saying, "The search for meaning and significance should not be confused with personal ambitions for worldly success. Meaning fulfillment can be achieved only through knowing who we are and becoming what we are meant to be.
"A clear sense of identity cannot be found from external circumstances; it can only be built on the foundation of core values and beliefs, which define our selfhood." He cites the work of psychologist Alfred Adler, who concluded that selfish ambitions for fame, power and wealth are misguided, because in the end, they only lead to disillusion rather than fulfillment. The trappings of success never fill the inner void for meaning and significance.
Next, Wong looks at personal significance vs. pride. "Significance," he says, "refers to a sense of one's self-worth and self-esteem. To love and to be loved are key ingredients of personal significance, which can be derived from a variety of sources. Humility comes naturally from the existential/spiritual perspective, because meaning fulfillment is primarily a gift, which comes from serving others and serving God."
Finally, Wong addresses self-abasement vs. realistic self-assessment. "Self-abasement is not always helpful in our relationship with people, because it may invite them to trample on us like a doormat... One can maintain a humble attitude without the false modesty of denying one's ability or diminishing one's work. However, a humble person does not take oneself too seriously; nor does one take full credit for one's accomplishments." I agree.
"But," I can hear you asking, "That's fine for my personal life, but do these lessons apply for business?" We all have the image of the commanding, egocentric CEO with a taste for celebrity. Leadership expert Jim Collins, backed by the results of a 5-year research study, says the essential ingredient for taking a company to greatness is having an executive in whom extreme personal humility blends paradoxically with intense professional will. Collins identifies the characteristics common to these leaders: humility, will, ferocious resolve, and the tendency to give credit to others while assigning blame to themselves. He says becoming a great company also requires vision and strategy, faith and facts, breakthrough momentum, focus, technology, and discipline. Some of these are obvious, but it is the humility of the CEO that is striking to me.
I'd be interested if any of you want to explore these ideas further after the service.
Specific lessons for our lives
I have a number of suggestions and offer these ideas for cultivating humility:
Read eulogies. They're a good dose of humility. They help us get perspective on the true meaning of life. Even better: try to write your own obituary. For what do you want to be remembered?
Use humility to rise above arguments. You don't have to respond to every insult or criticism.
Ask a close friend to give you feed-back. As we more clearly see our own faults, we are less likely to be arrogant toward others.
If you feel yourself being "trampled like a doormat," reflect on whether you are being falsely modest, or diminishing the significance your work. Try and develop a realistic view of your accomplishments. Seek feedback from one you trust. Modestly stand your ground without being arrogant.
Do a good deed in such a way that no one but you knows that you did it. This is advocated by many 12-step programs and builds both self-esteem and humility.
And, finally, try cleaning toilets as a spiritual practice.
So be it. Amen
From arrogance, pompousness, and from thinking ourselves more important than we are, may some saving sense of humor liberate us.
For allowing ourselves to ridicule the faith of others, may we be forgiven.
From making war and calling it peace, special privilege and calling it justice, indifference and calling it tolerance, pollution and calling it progress, may we be cured.
For telling ourselves and others that evil is inevitable while good is impossible, may we stand corrected.
God of our mixed up, tragic, aspiring, doubting, and insurgent lives, help us to be as good as in our hearts we have always wanted to be.
-- Harry Meserve
Closing Words
Go in peace. Live simply, gently, at home in yourselves.
Act justly. Speak justly.
Remember the depth of your own compassion.
Forget not your power in the days of your powerlessness.
Do not desire to be wealthier than your peers
And stint not your hand of charity.
Practice humility.
Speak the truth, or speak not.
Take care of yourselves as bodies, for you are a good gift.
Crave peace for all people in the world,
Beginning with yourselves,
And go as you go with the dream of that peace alive in your heart.
--Mark L. Belletini, adapted


(HOST) Naturalist and commentator Ted Levin says that this time of year, migration sometimes brings surprises at the bird feeder.
(LEVIN) Recently, a snow bunting appeared in my front yard, a chunky black and white songbird that hopped around the compost pile on short, black legs. It was a male and looked out of place all by itself, far from barren ground and tassel-headed marshes.
I grew up watching snow buntings along the outer beaches of Long Island. Their arrival each winter was as predicable as the dying of the light. And they never appeared alone, as this one did. They arrived in flocks of twenty, thirty or a hundred, maybe more, coursing along the outer banks, descending on reeds and grasses, black and white wings flicking, often in the company of horned larks and Lapland longspurs. In a colorless winter landscape, snow buntings elevate black and white to an art form.
The bird in my yard had a trace of reddish brown on the feather tips of his head and back. Snow buntings, unlike most other birds, only molt once a year, in the autumn. In due time, like the polishing of a silver vase, the constant rubbing against snow and ice wears away the fawn-colored tips and reveals the immaculate black and white of the breeding season, a bird of stark and stunning contrast.
I watched the snow bunting for some time. After hopping around the compost pile, he made his way to the cherry tree (I'd never seen a snow bunting in a tree), the stonewall, the roof of the garage (I'd never seen one on a garage either) and beneath each of our three feeders. He scavenged seeds that had been scattered by blue jays, titmice, and chickadees. Of the three, the jays startled the snow bunting. He'd jump whenever one flew past – just pop up, not too high, but enough to show concern. Back home in the high Arctic, snow buntings are the target of peregrines and gyrfalcons, and Arctic foxes, which are all in short supply in my front yard.
No land bird nests farther north in North America than the snow bunting. They ring the crown of the Arctic right to the edge of the pack ice. Males arrive on the breeding ground in early April, six weeks ahead of the females, when temperatures are still well below zero. Mating pairs nest in deep nooks in rock outcroppings, and the competition for these limited sites is severe. Fussy females will examine several before choosing a mate. Because snow buntings nest in the thermal equivalent of a meat locker, their nests are pockets of grasses and mosses – lined with fox fur and feathers. To provide constant warmth, the female stays in the nest twenty-four seven until the chicks fledge. Her mate feeds her throughout the nesting cycle, which is another reason she's so fussy when choosing a partner. His dowry perpetuates the species in an unforgiving terrain.
My lonely snow bunting is probably somewhere over central Quebec by now, and a lot is riding his safe return.

Binge Eating disorder is a condition that's characterized by eating huge amounts of food in a quick way to the point where the eater is uncomfortable. Patients with this condition tend to "lose control" during these episodes and they may end up feeling ashamed or guilty afterward.
A group study that was conducted on overweight people with Binge Eating Disorder reveals that the patients ended up losing weight after using phentermine and topiramate. Furthermore, they ended up with a much lower BMI and experienced a significant reduction in the frequency or episodes of binge eating.

Weight loss supplements are beneficial products but they should only be used as recommended and for a short period of time.

The Non-U.S. Litigator's Dream Come True: U.S. Style Discovery to Obtain Evidence for Cases Litigated Outside the U.S.

Litigators outside the United States have often dreamed of using U.S.-style discovery to obtain evidence that is in the U.S. Somehow, it didn't seem fair that they could not use the techniques of the country where the evidence is located. With the assistance of U.S. counsel, foreign litigants can obtain U.S.-style discovery to obtain evidence located within the United States by means of an application under a statute known as 28 U.S.C. § 1782.
The notion of wide-ranging data, witness and document discovery is uniquely American. Unlike civil law systems and even most common-law jurisdictions, American courts permit a party to litigation to obtain in discovery of any information, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26, "reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence." (emphasis added). Such broad discovery is the stuff civil law litigants' dreams are made of, and can determine the outcome of a case well before trial.
28 U.S.C. § 1782 states that a "district court of the district in which a person resides or is found may order him to give his testimony or statement or to produce a document or other thing for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal, including criminal investigations conducted before formal accusation." A district court will grant a §1782 application if the following three requirements are met: (1) the person whom discovery is sought against resides or can be found in the district of the issuing court; (2) that the discovery be for use in a proceeding before a foreign tribunal; and (3) the application is made by a foreign or international tribunal or by any interested person. In re Edelman, 295 F.3d 171, 175-76 (2d Cir. 2002). In most cases, these standards can be met without significant difficulty.
Yet, the decision to grant an application under § 1782 is case specific and discretionary with the court. Courts have split, for instance, on the issue of whether § 1782 may be used to obtain evidence for use in a private arbitration. Should you have questions about the availability of 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to obtain evidence from a person or organization located in the United States, please contact Kenneth N. Rashbaum or Jason M. Tenenbaum.

Why history lessons should be confined to the past
By Jonathan Smith
THERE are certain meaningless phrases that have crept into the English language.
Like when someone describes themselves as 'doing exactly what is says on the tin'. What are you really supposed to take from that?
Possibly the most annoying empty soundbite that has taken its place alongside football's ubiquitous cliches is describing a club as having 'history'.
It's not entirely clear who the clubs are without absolutely no history - even relative new boys such as MK Dons or Wigan Athletic can trace their roots back a long way.
But it's not simply a question of longevity. The great and the good aren't going to join Sheffield FC because of their 150-odd years.
It's down to quality of history. This basically means winning trophies.
But again this is open to interpretation.
For instance, Huddersfield Town's hat-trick of titles in the 1920s won't mark them out for a mention.
It only counts if you've won trophies after TVs became commonplace.
Sadly, chief culprits for harping on about history are the Merseyside clubs.
It must be painful for Liverpool fans, who have enjoyed years of glory to see their clubs slip down the pecking order.
But they curmudgeonly dismiss some of their usurpers as 'having no history' rather than recognising the cyclical pattern of success that a cursory look at a list of league winners would show.
Why would a player choose to join Manchester City or Chelsea rather than Liverpool, they have no history? It's all about money - ignoring the fact that two of those clubs are in the Champions League and one, more importantly, isn't.
And it's even worse for neighbours Everton, whose triumphs are a memory as they sit in the midst of a period of mediocrity as a Premier League also-ran.
Before every home game, the jumbotron relays constant reruns of great goals and games from the 60s, 70s and 80s. But you'll struggle to see anything from the last 12 months.
You wonder what the response would be if you asked a fan, 'Would you like to watch today's game or shall we fill the 90 minutes with clips of Alan Ball, Trevor Steven and John Toshack?'
'And if you know your history, it's enough to make your heart go oh, ooh, ooh!' sings the Gladys Street.
I know a little about history and some of the bits that make my heart go oh, ooh, ooh may involve Everton.
But no more than Torquay United or Carlisle United or any other club.
Why can't this generation's best transcend to major tournaments?

Soul Machine takes us back to the origins of modernity, a time when a crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution led to searching questions about the nature of human inner life. This is the story of how a new concept--the mind--emerged as a potential solution, one that was part soul and part machine, but fully neither.
In this groundbreaking work, award-winning historian George Makari shows how writers, philosophers, physicians, and anatomists worked to construct notions of the mind as not an ethereal thing, but a natural one. From the ascent of Oliver Cromwell to the fall of Napoleon, seminal thinkers like Hobbes, Locke, Diderot, and Kant worked alongside often-forgotten brain specialists, physiologists, and alienists in the hopes of mapping the inner world. Conducted in a cauldron of political turmoil, these frequently shocking, always embattled efforts would give rise to psychiatry, mind sciences such as phrenology, and radically new visions of the self. Further, they would be crucial to the establishment of secular ethics and political liberalism. Boldly original, wide-ranging, and brilliantly synthetic, Soul Machine gives us a masterful, new account of the making of the modern Western mind.

Wielka Wieś – wieś w Polsce, położona w województwie małopolskim, w powiecie tarnowskim, w gminie Wojnicz.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość należała administracyjnie do województwa tarnowskiego.

Integralne części wsi

Parafia
W Wielkiej Wsi znajduje się parafia pw. Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego, erygowana w 1982 roku przez biskupa Jerzego Ablewicza, oraz kościół parafialny zbudowany w latach 1985–1993. Parafia Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego należy do dekanatu Wojnicz w diecezji tarnowskiej.

Historia
Wielka Wieś, notowana w źródłach od 1420 roku, w końcu XIV i na początku XV wieku była własnością Deresława Białonia z Więckowic, Piotra z Brnia Trzewlińskiego i Andrzeja Trzewlińskiego; pieczętowali się oni herbem Rawicz. W XV wieku miejscowość wraz z zamkiem Trzewlin, wzniesionym w XIV wieku, przeszła w ręce Wielowieyskich herbu Półkozic, a w XVIII wieku stała się własnością Stadnickich herbu Szreniawa. Pozostawała w rękach Stadnickich do 1945 roku, gdy obszar dworski uległ parcelacji w ramach reformy rolnej.

W miejscowości funkcjonuje klub piłkarski Zryw Wielka Wieś obecnie biorący udział w rozgrywkach B-klasy, a także Ochotnicza Straż Pożarna włączona do Krajowego systemu ratowniczo-gaśniczego.

W 2008 roku Wielka Wieś liczyła 1311 mieszkańców i miała powierzchnię 871,85 ha.

Zabytki, pomniki przyrody

Zamek Trzewlin

Na szczycie Panieńskiej Góry, na lewym brzegu Dunajca, 120 metrów nad dnem doliny rzeki, znajdują się pozostałości średniowiecznego zamku rycerskiego Trzewlin. Jego budowę rozpoczęto w XIV wieku; zapewne miał on być centrum włości i siedzibą rodu Białoniów herbu Rawicz, którzy pisali się "z Trzewlina" lub posługiwali się nazwiskiem Trzewliński. Najstarsza wzmianka o Trzewlinie pochodzi z końca XIV wieku; wymieniony jest wówczas Mszczuj z Trzewlina.

W XV wieku zamek Trzewlin przeszedł w ręce Wielowieyskich herbu Półkozic; w XVII wieku popadł w ruinę i został rozebrany przez mieszczan z Wojnicza. Obecnie zachowały się jedynie ślady suchej fosy oraz niewielkie fragmenty murów; w 2004 roku ruiny zamku zostały wpisane do rejestru zabytków.

Z zamkiem Trzewlin wiążą się legendy ludowe o niewiernych żonach rycerzy Bolesława Śmiałego, które schroniły się na szczycie góry przed gniewem mężów powracających z wyprawy do Kijowa.

Panieńska Góra, rezerwat przyrody, Krzyż Jubileuszowy

Na Górze Panieńskiej znajduje się florystyczny rezerwat przyrody o obszarze 109 hektarów, chroniący występującą tutaj rzadką roślinność, głównie kilka rzadkich gatunków storczyków. Na szczycie góry stoi monumentalny Krzyż Jubileuszowy, wzniesiony w 2000 roku, do którego odbywają się procesje.

Dwór szlachecki z XVIII wieku

Kolejny zabytek Wielkiej Wsi, tym razem zachowany i odrestaurowany po II wojnie światowej, to szlachecki dwór rodu Stadnickich z XVIII wieku, w którym mieści się dziś plebania. Obok dworu znajduje się figura św. Jana Nepomucena z XVIII wieku z herbem Szreniawa na postumencie.

Turystyka
Do ruin zamku Trzewlin i do rezerwatu przyrody prowadzi niebieski  szlak turystyczny rozpoczynający się na rynku w Wojniczu, dostępny także u stóp wzniesienia.

'Kingdom Hearts 4' Will Feature Disney Worlds
Here's a rather curious surprise, as Tetsuya Nomura, the man behind Kingdom Hearts, has offered some insight into what the upcoming fourth entry has to offer. We were teased about the new world known as Quadratum some time ago, but it seemingly hinted at a very different game moving forward. Yet, it turns out that those worried we won't get a chance to visit Disney Worlds.
In an interview with Game Informer, he reflected on his time with the franchise and also discusses some minor aspects of what the future has to offer. In it, he also confirms that we'll definitely be visiting Disney worlds yet wouldn't elaborate on which ones.
With regards to Kingdom Hearts IV, players are definitely going to see a few Disney worlds in there. I just want to mention that they don't need to worry so much about this aspect of the game. It might feel slightly different from previous Kingdom Hearts titles, but once players have had a chance to play the game, I'm sure they'll be relieved to find that it is definitely a Kingdom Hearts title. It's the game series that they've come to know and love.
Tetsuya Nomura
Of course, there's been a lot of speculation that one of the "Disney" worlds they'll visit might turn out to be from Star Wars. The new art style also seemingly hints at a possible Marvel inclusion, as the game has seemingly moved away from its more cartoon-inspired roots in its graphics. Well, it turns out that also played a key factor as they approached the project.
As far as the graphic qualities … since with each new title, the specs have been really increasing and there's so much more we can do in terms of graphics, it kind of limits the number of worlds that we can create in a sense. At this time we're considering how to approach that, but there will be Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts IV.
They may have made some decisions based on the graphical challenges, as the more realistic the designs get, the more difficult it becomes to adapt some franchises to keep the design consistent. It's a shame they didn't keep a more stylized look, but the upcoming

If we assume D&D to be canon in most fantasy settings, there's a low level spell called Continual Flame. Maybe they cast that or something similar on them so they wouldn't have to go out instead of playing ectoplasmic video game consoles inside their crypts. It makes perfect sense, if we still used candles and torches we'd do the same thing!
Why on earth would one assume D&D rules to apply to other fantasy settings? That said, magic would be a possible explanation in many settings. The sticking point then would be when they show up in low or no magic medieval settings.
Well, as that appears to be the Dragonborn in the background, I can answer at least the fact of candles. The Draugr usually only become restless during invasions of their tomb by people not there to tend to the dead. Family tombs have a caretaker, who is capable of entering without causing the draugr to rise. However, if you're just there to loot things… well, no one likes having their stuff stolen.
It kind of seems weird when you see, say, a clean pickaxe in a mine that's been abandoned for YEARS. It does annoy me sometimes but half the time I try my hardest to ignore it and get on with playing.
you said it. I try to not let it bother me too much… though some games make me want to explode my head when there's some obvious thematic oversights.

You have probably heard the saying, "The early bird gets the worm," and in some ways that phrase can be repurposed to apply to photographers as well. "The early photographer gets the picture" isn't always true in a literal sense, but learning to recognize changes that happen throughout the day, and how they affect your pictures is critical to developing a deeper understanding of photography in general. If you're looking for a way to enhance your own photography, get better shots, or just try something new, getting up early to take some photos in the morning hours can have a dramatic impact on your pictures.
What you will see below is a collection of shots that are similarly-composed, but taken at different times of the day. The idea is not necessarily to see which picture is better, but to help you visualize and understand how much impact the time of day has on your outdoor pictures.
One advantage of shooting in the morning is that the sun is not directly overhead, which means light is diffused in the sky, and essentially coming from all directions. This helps your subjects have more even lighting, and makes it easier to get a good overall exposure since there isn't the same degree of high contrast between light and dark areas that happens later in the day. This picture of some flowers in the morning illustrates the concept, and shows how diffused morning light can affect not just the shadows, but the color and vibrance of the picture as well.
Revisiting the same scene later in the day revealed an image that is similar in overall composition but quite different in some significant ways. The colors on the orange flower are not as rich and vibrant as they are in the morning photo, and the individual petals create harsh shadows that can be somewhat distracting.
While taking photos later in the day often means you have more light available, it comes with an important tradeoff: the midday sun often often leads to a greater degree of contrast with brighter highlights and darker shadows. However, this is not to imply that shooting later in the day is an inherently bad idea. Learning to shoot at different times of the day is not just about knowing how things are lit, but understanding how nature itself changes. Different times of day are not necessarily better or worse, but each has its own set of opportunities and challenges.
Notice how the pink flower has opened up and is much more vibrant than in the morning. No amount of early sunlight can coax a flower into full bloom, and sometimes you simply have no choice but to shoot later in the day if you want to get a particular picture. Wildlife shooters often take pictures in the morning or evening, but not necessarily because of the light. They do it because many animals are simply much more active at that time, than in the middle of the day.
One of the best solutions, which is not always possible but does offer some creative opportunities, is when you can get pictures in the middle of a cloudy or overcast day. That scenario gives you the nature advantages of shooting in the middle of the day, with the lighting advantages of morning or dusk. In this final picture, which was taken during a moment of thick cloud cover, you can see how the pink and orange flowers are in full bloom, while the light is much more similar to the morning image. The shadows are soft and diffused, which lends a warm and pleasant feeling to the image.
One nice thing about shooting pictures in the morning is how the early sun can cast a nice even light on your subject. But, there are other elements of a photographic composition to take into account as well. Here are two pictures of some seed pods on a magnolia tree, taken a few hours apart. In these examples you can see that the morning light doesn't just affect the color and shadows on the subject, but has a notable impact on the background elements, and other parts of the picture as well.
In the first image the subject (i.e. the seed pod in the foreground) is evenly lit, with nicely saturated colors, and the composition has a nice warm tone overall. There are a few drawbacks though – the building in the background which faces to the east is so brightly lit it's distracting, and the sky does not yet have the rich blue tones that can happen later in the day.
Here's the same composition taken a few hours later, which illustrates that shooting in the bright sunlight has some tradeoffs tradeoffs that are both good and bad. While the building in the afternoon photo is not overexposed and the sky has more of a pleasing blue tint, the subject is somewhat backlit which causes a bit too much contrast for my liking.
Again, the message here is not about why taking pictures at a particular time of day is better or worse, but understanding the effect it will have on your images. Some of the problems with the afternoon picture could be mitigated if I simply took the picture from a different angle or used another subject. I could also have used the pop-up flash on my camera as a fill flash which would have fixed some of the shadows on the subject. These challenges also become a little easier to work with if you are taking pictures of people and not immovable inanimate objects because you can tell them where to go, bring umbrellas, or use structures to manipulate the light.
I already gave some examples of how the early morning sun can have a pleasant effect on a single subject, but it can also cast an entire scene, or even a landscape, in an entirely different light compared to the afternoon. This image of a path on the Oklahoma State University campus is one of the most pleasing examples of how shooting in the morning can give you an incredible advantage when it comes to just working with light. The entire scene is evenly lit, and even the undersides of the tree branches are green. There are no harsh shadows and the morning light creates a warm and welcoming feeling overall.
In the next image you can clearly see evidence of some of the challenges posed by midday sunlight. The image is awash with contrasting areas of light and dark, and the shadows on the path are disjointed and distracting. There is no one clear focal point for the image, and the undersides of the leaves are so dark they are almost unrecognizable. It looks like an entirely different scene, even though it was the same location.
The final image in this series illustrates one additional hurdle that must be overcome when shooting during the day – other people. In most parts of the world, and especially on a college campus, there simply is not much human activity in the early morning. Later in the day you will usually find yourself contending with workers, pedestrians, students, tourists, children playing, or a variety of other types of individuals who might inadvertently get in the way of letting you take the picture you want.
Almost any outdoor photographic situation will have far fewer people around in the wee hours of the morning, which can not only give you better pictures, but a greater sense of peace and calmness as you go about the business of taking photos. The other point to note about the image above with the students walking, is that even though there was plenty of cloud cover which meant nice evenly-diffused lighting, the undersides of the trees are much darker than in the 7:30am photo. This illustrates how even though cloudy and overcast days are great for photos, there are still some aspects of shooting in the morning or evening that can be advantageous.
Finally, here's one more example of how pictures in the morning can be much different than pictures later in the day. This bronze statue is a friendly sight for shoppers and drivers in downtown Stillwater, Oklahoma. Taking his photo as the sun is creeping over the horizon yields a well-lit image with a hometown feel, as the shops of main street recede into the background. Colors are even and not overly-saturated, and there is neither too much, nor too little, contrast on the statue itself.
The same photo in the late afternoon looks dramatically different, but not just because of the lighting. In the second picture (below) the light is clearly coming from overhead, as the top of his shoulders and side of his hat are much brighter and the contrasting light is creating much deeper shadows on his overcoat. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the result is an image that shows more texture on the statue, even though one of the tradeoffs is that the side of his head is shrouded in shadow. However, the most critical difference here is the background, which is now filled with passing shoppers and parked cars. The picture seems cluttered, the focal point is less obvious, and instead of a friendly small town main street it now seems like a sterile commercial shopping center.
Hopefully these examples give you a better idea of how the time of day in which you take pictures can dramatically affect not just the lighting, but many aesthetic elements of your photographic compositions as well. What are your favorite tips for shooting at different times of the day? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Witness 'heard Pistorius house row'
A witness heard "non-stop shouting" coming from Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius's home before he shot his girlfriend dead, a court has heard.
The witness overheard the "row" which is said to have come from the property at the exclusive Silver Lakes Golf Estate between 2am and 3am on Valentine's Day, the prosecution said. Shortly afterwards, Reeva Steenkamp, 29, lay bleeding to death in Pistorius's bathroom. She was hit by three bullets - in the head, the hip and arm, Pretoria Magistrates' Court heard.
One witness reported hearing a shot, followed 17 minutes later by more shots, lead detective Hilton Botha said. "One of our witnesses heard a fight, two people talking loudly at each other... from two in the morning to three," he said, adding that the witness was about 1,000ft away.
Pistorius has admitted shooting the model with a 9mm pistol pulled from under his bed, but claims he did so thinking she was a burglar or burglars who were in the bathroom. He adds that he opened fire in the dark because he was too scared to turn a light on. Realising his mistake, he broke the door down with a cricket bat and carried her downstairs, he said.
Mr Botha said there was "no way" he believed Pistorius's version of events and a witness told police Pistorius's lights were on after hearing gunshots.
The runner has said he shot through the door while on his stumps. But the court heard the bullets' trajectory was through the top of the door and Mr Botha claims the bullets were fired down, suggesting Pistorius was wearing his prosthetic legs when the shots were discharged. He said: "I believe he knew she was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door."
The court also heard that two boxes of testosterone and needles were found in Pistorius's bedroom. But his lawyer Barry Roux countered prosecution claims that testosterone was found, saying it was actually a herbal remedy, called Testocompasutium co-enzyme.
Mr Botha said he wanted Pistorius charged additionally with a weapons violation after unlicensed .38 calibre ammunition was found at the house. In an affidavit, Pistorius said he and Miss Steenkamp were in love and he thought she was in bed in the early hours of Thursday when he got up in the dark and blasted through the door. The prosecution believe Pistorius is a flight risk and are opposing bail. The case was adjourned to 11am on Thursday (9am GMT) when a decision over bail might be made.
Pistorius' family said in a statement that they were "satisfied" with Wednesday's court hearing. They said Botha confirmed during cross-examination that the ballistic and forensic evidence was consistent with the defendant's version of events. But they said contradictions in Botha's evidence were "extremely concerning".
Arnold Pistorius, the athlete's uncle, said: "Oscar was not using any drugs listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency banned substances. The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) will have records of every single drugs test that was undertaken in and out of competitions. He has been tested on a number of occasions during the last couple of years and he has never failed a drug test to date."

People who have to cook a meatless or vegetarian meal are often stumped about how to get past the mentality of 'meat and three veg minus the meat'.
is in ethnic cuisines that have a long history of meatless dishes already. Oriental, Indian, Mexican etc. Go cornicopia.
Each ethnic cuisine has a couple of signature carb bases, usually grains, but I'm counting potato here too. What starch/grain do I feel in the mood for? Potato, rice, pasta, polenta, bread, noodles, barley, wheat, oats, millet, quinoa....noodles, noodles, noodles (ok I have a mild obsession).
Choosing the base usually narrows down the cuisine options. Pasta lends itself easily to an Italian dish, noodles to an Asian dish etc. What cuisine am I in the mood to eat?
Do I want spicy or creamy or soupy or dry? Baked, fried, stirfried, stewed etc. Answering this sometimes helps narrow down the options.
What do I have in the fridge already? Failing that, what is in season? Handy tip, what's in season is highest in nutrients and is usually the cheapest to buy. Can't go wrong with that combination!
Then it's a matter of putting it all together. Hmm, a potato based dish from South America using capsicums and tomatoes. Hmm, a noodle based dish with lots of bamboo shoots probably means Chinese something. Hmm, rice with a creamyness probably lends itself to an Indian korma which is great to use up all those odds and ends.
And then go searching for inspiration. There are so many recipe sites online it's not funny.
Depending on the cuisine, if you want to use a substitute for meat in a recipe you've found, either tofu (Oriental) or beans (South American, Indian) will work very very well. Sometimes an appropriate cheese is great (Greek, Italian, Indian). I think because the meat is not the centre of many of these dishes, it is a lot easier to replace or remove it than in Western style I-have-a-hunk-of-steak-and-some-unidentified-greenery-on-the-side meals.


a crummy t-shirt? No way. The days of buying t-shirts* four souvenirs are long over. Now we buy architectural salvage when we travel.
When we go to Howard County in south Arkansas for Duckett Decoration (first Sunday in June and the preceding Saturday), we always stop at Ri-Jo's salvage place in Mena (in Polk County, but nearer to Duckett than most places in Howard County). This time, Richard sold us a light fixture.
I have been struggling with the Arts and Crafts vision for our house. Nearly all the lights I look at don't suit my vision of the house. Don finally nailed my problem: I'm afraid it will look like 2008 when we're done instead of 1908 (or 1916 in our case). Everybody is doing Arts and Crafts now — the new houses, the old houses, Renovation Hardware, the Home Depot. They're all doing it. Plus, I still haven't made it safely to the 20th Century, what with our last two houses being solidly in Queen Victoria's reign.
Now we just have to figure out where it goes. Dining room? Foyer? Living room? (We might need a pair for that room.) Oh, we also need an acceptable canopy.
And we stopped by Duckett Schoolhouse, which was a one room schoolhouse for grades 1-8, which my grandfather, his siblings and many of his cousins attended. It's in about the same state of disrepair that it has been in for thirty years.
* I think the Little One may have wound up with three Vacation Bible School t-shirts this year. Episcopal, United Methodist, and Bible Church. She was explaining heaven to me yesterday afternoon. Streets paved with gold and lots of magical thinking are involved.
**Shortly after we came back from Duckett, the Little One lost her hat. She must have been worrying about it for weeks. When we packed for Chicago in mid-July, I asked her to find her hat so I could pack it. She burst into tears: It was lost, lost forever! She lost it at Central one day, and maybe it blew away in a storm or somebody saw it and thought it was paper and thought it was litter and thought she had littered and threw it away! Or some other implausible event. Oh, the tragedy of it all. After the wailing and gnashing of teeth subsided, I offered to make her another hat, which I did while we were in Chicago, and then I made matching tops for her and her cousin. When we got back, Don checked at Central's lost and found, and found her hat. (He says that the director said that lots of people complimented the hat while it waited for the Little One's return.) These are the matching tops. I guess I didn't take a picture of her new hat.
*** The Johnson Brothers are adding some functional beams in the living room in the next couple of weeks so the upstairs won't fall down once we get the bathrooms installed. As many beams as they're putting in, I think we won't need any decorative ones.

Q: How to compile and run Java with single command line on Windows Everytime I want to build and run my program I do:
javac myProgram.java
java myProgram

I want to do something like this:
buildrun = javac (some_argument).java && java (some_argument)

so after I can just
buildrun myProgram

How to achieve this on Windows?

A: As other's have suggested you can simply create a batch file to build and run your program. Copy this in Notepad and save as .bat.
@echo off
set /p class="Enter Class: "
javac "%class%".java
java "%class%"

As you want, the batch file will ask for a FileName when it runs. In your case, you can set it to 'myProgram' and it will then compile and run the program.
Just make sure your batch file and your java file reside in the same folder for this script to run. You can always tweak the bat file to even accept the full path of the Java file.

A: To compile and run Java with single command line in cmd use:
java myProgram.java

A: You can use Makefile this way:

*

*Create a file named Makefile within the same folder where your java files reside.

*Add these contents to Makefile
run: compile
    java $(class)

compile:
    javac $(class).java

*From terminal, run this command:
make run class=myProgram
This way, it will compile first then run your java class in a single command

A: Yet another solution. Create buildrun.cmd file with the following code:
@echo off
javac %1.java
if errorlevel = 0 goto RUN

:ERROR
echo "Build fails!"
goto END

:RUN
java %1

:END

Now you can pass the class name which should be processed. For example:  buildrun MyProgram to compile MyProgram.java and run MyProgram.class
In this case execution will performs only if your class was compiled successful.

Q: How to have not_analyzed for all new indexes by default? I know that I can use dynamic_template to set string fields to not_analyzed for new fields in a specific new index.
Is there a way to have this setting applied globally - i.e. having the property not_analyzed set for any string field in any new index? (without the need to set it for each new index)

A: Yes, you can achieve this by creating an index template on * with a _default_ mapping type and dynamic templates
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_template/global -d '{
  "template": "*",
  "mappings": {
    "_default_": {
      "dynamic_templates": [
        {
          "strings": {
            "match_mapping_type": "string",
            "mapping": {
              "type": "string",
              "index": "not_analyzed"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}'

Then you can create any document in any new index and the all string fields will be not_analyzed
curl -XPUT localhost:9200/dummy_index/dummy_type/1 -d '{"name": "dummy"}'

If you check the dummy_type mapping type of the newly created dummy_index, you'll see that the name field will be not_analyzed

It's an often quoted maxim of Kingsley Amis's that he would allow a bad review to spoil his breakfast but never his lunch. Whilst this seems an eminently sane and sensible attitude to the business of being told in public precisely where you're going wrong, it's not always easy to face criticism with quite such gentlemanly equability.
Besides, something very interesting has happened in the world of book reviews since Amis was in his pomp - an egalitarian shift, a great democratisation. For so long the province of professionals, book reviewing has passed (at least in part) into the hands of the amateur and in 2008, reviews on-line, posted on blogs, message boards or on booksellers' websites, can make just as much, if not even more, difference to a book's success than those which appear, more traditionally, in print.
For the most part, this is to be applauded. At last, the people who actually part with their own cash to buy the books can have their voices heard, shout about their favourites or deflate those reputations they consider to be inflated. As a writer (and yes, I admit to checking out my reviews on at least one prominent bookseller's site as well as elsewhere) it's simultaneously fascinating and bewildering to be faced with the sheer volume and proliferation of points of view.
There are critics who love your work, those who hate it and (perhaps most hurtfully) those who remain largely unmoved, shrugging their shoulders to say it was merely tolerable or commonplace. For everyone who writes that they hate the ending of my story, there's someone else who thinks it's the best part of the book; for everyone who considers the appearance of a murderous double act in the last third of the narrative to be a piece of unwarranted silliness in questionable taste there's a reader who asks if they might have their own spin-off series. Faced with such a mêlée of opinion, the writer runs the risk of being terrified into total inaction and never writing another word.
For the past few years, I've been lucky enough to contribute reviews to The Times Literary Supplement and I'm sure that my criticism has been altered for the better by the experience of being published. I'm more fiercely aware now of what a responsibility it is to review a book, of how much work goes into everything that's published regardless of whether or not I happen to find it to my taste. Certainly, I strive to be more sensitive and even-handed, painfully aware that, in giving full rein to the negative, I might be trampling on years of hard work.
And after all, I'd really hate to ruin anybody's lunch.
It's rare that a book is uniformly bad, so in almost all cases one can identify something positive to say. That said, one owes it to ones readers to be honest, or to put this slightly differently, as our Kingsley said, if you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing.
