As Told By Gifs: You're an Anxious Introvert at a Big Party
You just received a casual text invitation to a party. Just like that, a thousand questions begin swirling and plaguing your head. Is it just a pity invite? Does this person actually like me? Do I like them? Do I have some sort of reasonable excuse for not going? Do I have anything to wear? Does my cat desire my presence more than this person? Can my cat come?
Meanwhile, your cat…
You decide to challenge yourself. You are determined to go to the party. You will engage in conversation. You will don the disguise of a social creature and emerge victorious.
You whisper sweet nothings to your books. You place a gentle, lingering palm upon your bed and promise you will return before midnight. You suit up in your most spectacular, party-pioneering outfit…
You resist the urge to bid a tearful farewell to your cat in fear that just uttering the words will break your resolve…
And you're off, practicing your dance moves on the way…
Trying to figure out a smooth and undetected entrance while weighed down by your crippling anxiety…
You muster up the courage to enter but the sheer magnitude of people slams into you…
You make a valiant recovery! You've come this far!
You grab a drink and attempt to spirit through the crowd like a ghost to a secluded corner on the other side of the room…
Mingle, play it cool, relax…
A good-natured rando approaches you and attempts to engage in the dreaded small talk! You attempt to appear fascinated and pleasant, but you cannot help but feel stuck behind a wall…
As you attempt to come up with questions to ask, your brain becomes wobbly with doubts. Would this question offend them? Would this question make the conversation go on for too long? Would they find this topic boring? What if I say a word wrong? What if they misunderstand? Do they actually want to talk to me? What if a million other people have asked them this before and I'm lame…
You finally blurt out a question. It's silly. Oh no… I'm ruined… but wait… They are smiling and laughing! Their eyes light up. You question intrigues them. Success! You just went up a level in socializing. You don't go out often so you don't need much XP to go up a level. Woohoo!
Eventually, others join the conversational orbit. Your energy wanes. Your duty here is done. It is time to find a way to politely drift… towards the food!
Suddenly, the host's dog appears! Oh sweet savior! It trots down the stairs towards you, each step echoing the beating of your eager heart. You lock eyes and realize that this is destiny. This is why you came.
You spend the rest of the party with the precious doggo. His name tag says Elvis. That is a good, solid name. You talk about the dangers of lettuce…
And the terrors and joys of taking a risk…
The pleasures of relaxing after a long day at work…
And how sometimes we create big, scary issues out of things that are not really so bad…
And finally how humans of all kinds can be truly wonderful if you put in the effort to connect…

Didier Drogba scored the only goal as Chelsea stunned holders Barcelona to score a 1-0 upset victory in their Champions League semifinal first-leg match on Wednesday.
Drogba left Chelsea dreaming of advancing to their first final since 2008 in next week's return leg at Camp Nou after pouncing on the stroke of halftime as Barcelona suffered their first European reverse of the season.
Drogba's goal was Chelsea's only attempt on target in a match where Barcelona carved out chance after chance, only to be denied by some desperate defending by their Premier League opponents.
"It's a good result. Now we will go there and try and qualify," said Drogba.
Skipper John Terry said the performance was one of Chelsea's best in the tournament.
"We had to be very patient.
Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo praised his side.
"It was almost perfect. It's a great result for us," said the manager.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola meanwhile said the defeat had left Chelsea as favourites to advance to next month's final in Munich.
Chelsea had taken the lead in first-half injury-time after an opening 45 minutes in which they had been comprehensively outplayed.
Frank Lampard released Ramires down the left flank with a superb cross-field pass and the Brazilian threaded his pass across the area to Drogba, who swept a low shot past scrambling Barca goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
Until then, Chelsea had been clinging on as Barcelona dominated for long periods with their customary slick passing game.
The Catalans might have taken the lead after only nine minutes when Andres Iniesta picked out Alexis Sanchez with a delightful chipped pass, only for the Chilean international's lob over Petr Cech to hit the bar.
Chelsea, who had opted for the muscular presence of Drogba in attack ahead of Fernando Torres, signalled their intentions early on, pumping a series of long balls forward for the Ivorian.
But genuine chances for Chelsea were few and far between while at the other end Cech was working overtime in the face of a relentless Barca.
Cech had to be alert on 18 minutes after Lionel Messi darted into the box and cut back for Iniesta, whose fierce low shot was well saved by the Chelsea custodian before Cesc Fabregas scuffed his follow-up wide.
Fabregas tested Cech soon afterwards, his angled shot beaten away on 26 minutes.
Cech was pressed into action two minutes later, saving after Messi met a Sanchez cross with a downward header.
A goal seemed a certainty two minutes from the half-time when Messi won the ball in midfield and raced forwards menacingly.
The Argentinian threaded his pass through to Fabregas, who dinked his shot over the advancing Cech. The former Arsenal star's effort just appeared to be spinning in but Ashley Cole was on hand to hook the ball clear.
That appeared to be the final twist of the half until Drogba's dramatic strike shot Chelsea into the lead two minutes into time added on.
Unsurprisingly, Chelsea's goal was the cue for a sustained Barca onslaught after the break, yet the home side once again were able to frustrate the visitors despite their near-monopoly of possession.
Adriano was the first to test Chelsea again on 51 minutes, skipping over a challenge from Branislav Ivanovic and unleashing a venomous shot that Cech, diving at full stretch, parried to safety.
Moments later it was Messi's turn, advancing forwards only for his shot to be well blocked by Terry.
On 57 minutes Barcelona threatened again when Fabregas lofted a sublime pass into the area for Sanchez, but a desperate covering tackle from Cole was enough to unbalance the Chilean, who shot wide.
Barcelona continued to dominate but with Chelsea defending deep and in numbers, they were unable to find a breakthrough.
They came close to an equaliser on 87 minutes but once again Cech came to the rescue. Messi whipped in a low free-kick and Carles Puyol stooped to glance a header goalwards, only for Cech to dive and turn behind for a corner.

Core and Ancillary Epistemic Virtues
Acta Analytica (2018-09-01) 33: 295-309 , September 01, 2018
By Horgan, Terry; Potrč, Matjaž; Strahovnik, Vojko
We argue, primarily by appeal to phenomenological considerations related to the experiential aspects of agency, that belief fixation is broadly agentive; although it is rarely (if ever) voluntary, nonetheless, it is phenomenologically agentive because of its significant phenomenological similarities to voluntary-agency experience. An important consequence is that epistemic rationality, as a central feature of belief fixation, is an agentive notion. This enables us to introduce and develop a distinction between core and ancillary epistemic virtues. Core epistemic virtues involve several inter-related kinds of epistemic rationality in belief fixation. Other "habits of mind" pertinent to belief fixation constitute ancillary epistemic virtues. Finally, we discuss the relationship between both kinds of virtues, offering a unified account of epistemic virtuousness.
You Are Not Your Own
Politics of Religion/Religions of Politics (2015-01-01) 8: 11-27 , January 01, 2015
By Critchley, Simon
Paul's political theology as been employed negatively as a critique of empire and positively as a means of finding new figures of activism and militancy based around a universalistic claim to equality. I begin by arguing that the return to Paul is nothing new and that the history of Christianity, from Marcion to Luther to Kierkegaard, can be understood as a gesture of reformation where the essentially secular order of the existing or established church is undermined in order to approach the religious core of faith. Paul has always been the figure for a reformation, I argue, motivated by intense political disappointment. The double nature of the address in Paul is fascinating: both how Paul was addressed by the call that transformed him from a persecutor of Jewish Christians into a preacher of Christ's gospel; and the addressee of Paul's call, namely the various churches or communities that he established and which are identified as the refuse of the world, the scum of the earth. But the central concern of this Chapter is the idea of faith understood not as the abstraction of a metaphysical belief in God, but rather the lived subjective commitment to an infinite demand. Faith is understood here as a declarative act, as an enactment of the self, as a performative that proclaims itself into existence. Faith is an enactment in relation to a calling that is proclaimed in a situation of crisis where what is called for is a decisive political intervention.
I then turn to Marcion. The radicality of Marcion's position is that his hyper-Paulinian affirmation of faith comes at the price of a disavowal of the experience of law, in particular as it is expressed in the Hebrew Bible. This leads Marcion to cut the cord that connects 'Old' and 'New' Testaments, or the orders of creation and redemption, and replace the affirmation of one god with two, where monotheism becomes dualism: the god of creation is not the same being as the god of redemption proclaimed by Paul. Following closely von Harnack's reading of Marcion, the seductive power of this heresy becomes clear: what is announced in Paul's Epistles is something absolutely new for which the only proof is the proclamation of faith. This brings us back to the contemporary return to Paul and the disavowal of the figure of law that is at its core. I argue that the Paulinism of Agamben and Badiou is actually a crypto-Marcionism that risks a radical antinomianism in its attempt to break the connection between law and faith. Against this tendency, I give a reading of Romans 7 and 8 that tries to give a different and hopefully more plausible understanding of the relation between faith and law: if law and sin were not within me, then faith would mean nothing. Our wretchedness is our greatness.
Truthmakers: a tale of two explanatory projects
Synthese (2011-08-01) 181: 413-431 , August 01, 2011
By Schulte, Peter
Truthmakers are supposed to explain the truth of propositions, but it is unclear what kind of explanation truthmakers can provide. In this paper, I argue that 'truthmaker explanations' conflate two different explanatory projects. The first project is essentially concerned with truth, while the second project is concerned with reductive explanation. It is the latter project, I maintain, which is really central to truthmaking theory. On this basis, a general account of truthmaking can be formulated, which, when combined with a specific theory of reduction (the 'conceptual entailment approach'), yields a new analysis of truthmaking. This analysis is intuitively appealing and avoids the problem of necessary truths, which poses a serious obstacle for standard accounts.
Is truth a normative concept?
Synthese (2018-03-01) 195: 1127-1138 , March 01, 2018
By Horwich, Paul
My answer will be 'no'. And I'll defend it by: (i) distinguishing a concept's having normative import from its being functionally normative; (ii) sketching a method for telling whether or not a concept is of the latter sort; (iii) responding to the antideflationist, Dummettian argument (extended in different directions by Crispin Wright, Huw Price, and Michael Lynch) in favor of the conclusion that truth is functionally normative; (iv) proceeding to address a less familiar route to that conclusion—one that's consistent with deflationism about truth, but that depends on the further assumption that meaning is intrinsically normative; and (v) arguing that this further assumption is mistaken.
Notes on Leitgeb's What Truth Depends on
Studia Logica (2020-01-09): 1-28 , January 09, 2020
By Rivello, Edoardo
In Hannes Leitgeb's article What truth depends on (Leitgeb in J Philos Logic 34:155–192, 2005) the author provides a formally correct and materially adequate truth definition for the set of all grounded sentences, defined as the least fixed point of a monotone operator of semantic dependence. In this paper we will focus on the mathematical aspects of Leitgeb's notions of dependence, grounding and truth, recasting Leitgeb's construction in a functional setting in which we establish some new facts about these notions.
Sosa's theory of knowledge
Synthese (2018-01-24): 1-8 , January 24, 2018
This paper is a critical discussion of Ernest Sosa's recent analysis of reflective knowledge.
Finding Space for the Truth: Joshua Cohen on Truth and Public Reason
Res Publica (2017-08-01) 23: 329-347 , August 01, 2017
By Butler, Jethro
One of the most distinctive and startling claims of Rawlsian political liberalism is that truth has no place in public political deliberation on matters of basic justice. Joshua Cohen thinks there is a tension between Rawls's exclusion of truth in public political deliberation and the importance accorded to truth in the conception of morally serious political deliberation held by most citizens. Cohen claims that this apparent tension can be resolved by constructing and introducing a suitably political, non-divisive and neutral, conception of truth which is capable of satisfying both the highly distinctive requirements of Rawlsian political liberalism and the importance accorded to truth by the conception of public deliberation held by most citizens. In this paper I argue that Cohen is unsuccessful in this attempt and that his political conception of truth cannot satisfy both political liberalism and a descriptively adequate specification of the importance accorded to truth by the familiar accounts of morally serious political deliberation upon which Cohen relies.
The reversibility which is the ultimate truth
Continental Philosophy Review (2016-12-01) 49: 469-483 , December 01, 2016
By Rogozinski, Jacob
This article seeks to interrogate the intertwining of Truth and reversibility as presented in the unfinished work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in The Visible and the Invisible. This relation raises three questions regarding the whole of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy; namely, the status it confers to truth, the place it grants to the ego, and the notion of the "flesh of the world."
How Boots Befooled the King: Wisdom, Truth, and the Stoics
Acta Analytica (2012-06-01) 27: 113-126 , June 01, 2012
By Wright, Sarah
Can the wise person be fooled? The Stoics take a very strong view on this question, holding that the wise person (or sage) is never deceived and never believes anything that is false. This seems to be an implausibly strong claim, but it follows directly from some basic tenets of the Stoic cognitive and psychological world-view. In developing an account of what wisdom really requires, I will explore the tenets of the Stoic view that lead to this infallibilism about wisdom, and show that many of the elements of the Stoic picture can be preserved in a more plausible fallibilist approach. Specifically, I propose to develop a Stoic fallibilist virtue epistemology that is based on the Stoic model of the moral virtues. This model of the intellectual virtues will show that (in keeping with a folk distinction) the wise person is never befooled, though that person might be fooled.
Reply to Fine on Aboutness
Philosophical Studies (2018-06-01) 175: 1495-1512 , June 01, 2018
By Yablo, Stephen
A reply to Fine's critique of Aboutness. Fine contrasts two notions of truthmaker, and more generally two notions of "state." One is algebraic; states are sui generis entities grasped primarily through the conditions they satisfy. The other uses set theory; states are sets of worlds, or, perhaps, collections of such sets. I try to defend the second notion and question some seeming advantages of the first.

Q: Spring unable to read bean property from XML I'm having trouble setting a member value from my bean configuration XML. I've boiled this down to the simplest use case I could; the class here isn't intended to actually do anything. I noticed that the text value was never being set (always null), so I slapped a @Required on the setter method. This yields the BeanCreationException. Details here:
https://gist.github.com/arwagner/7268989
Service class:
@Service
public class FoobarService {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(FoobarService.class);
private String text;

public void report() {
    logger.info("text: " + getText());
}

public String getText() {
    return text;
}

@Required
public void setText(String text) {
    logger.info("setText called");
    this.text = text;
}
}

Controller class:
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@Autowired
private FoobarService foobarService;

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String home(Locale locale, Model model) {
    foobarService.report();
    return "home";
}
}

A: It doesn't look like the Spring context is being loaded. You can do that in a couple of ways:
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

Then WEB-INF needs a myservlet-servlet.xml with your configuration.
Or with web.xml
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>
        /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

And you need applicationContext.xml in WEB-INF.

A: There are probably two instances of FoobarService created. One in servlet's application context and the main application context. Move
<bean id="foobarService" class="com.agilex.onboardservices.services.FoobarService">
  <property name="text" value="foobar"/>
</bean>

to servlet-context.xml so that the the controller created through component scan can see the FooBarService instance created on the same context.

This was our last weekend at home before we travel for the holidays, so we relaxed for much of it. As much as I love traveling, I think it's immensely important to be intentional and grateful for our time at home together.
Lights- On our way back from dinner one night we stopped at Madison's Christmas lights. We had no idea it was free (but they happily take donations) and actually pretty long. If you're near Madison, make a quick evening stop for some holiday fun at Olin Park.
Goulash- A snowy evening just calls for simple comfort foods, so to Pinterest I went. I stumbled across a goulash recipe. This was so easy to make, and the leftovers were even better.
Holiday Garland- I was inspired by Instagram on this one, but LOVE the way it turned out. This cheery dried orange garland is just what your little Christmas heart desires. Check out the DIY here.
Date Night- We gained an extra date night this weekend because Dillon came home early! So tacos on Friday and Christmas movies on Saturday. These nights don't need to be extravagant or expensive, they just need to happen. The holiday hustle and bustle leaves little time for relaxing, so make time to cuddle your sweetheart.
Here's to a happy (and hopefully snowy!) week, friends. Cheers!

Watch: Obama Blasts GOP Attacks on UN Ambassador Susan Rice
During a White House press conference on Wednesday, President Obama took a few minutes to push back on a burgeoning media narrative.
ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl asked the president about the likely nomination of UN ambassador Susan Rice to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, as well as the determination of certain Republicans to block her nomination.
Here's video and a transcript of the president's response:
Let me say specifically about Susan Rice, she has done exemplary work. She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace…If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the UN ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous…I don't think there's any debate in this country that when you have four Americans killed, that's a problem. And we've got to get to the bottom of it, and there needs to be accountability…But when they go after the UN ambassador, apparently because they think she's an easy target, then they've got a problem with me. And if I think that she would be the best person to serve America [at the] State Department, then I will nominate her.
In a response that can be accurately and succintly paraphrased as, "come at me bro," the president did his best to make Lindsey Graham and John McCain look bad for relentlessly picking on a nonthreatening woman who didn't actually do anything wrong. (Click here to read why Republican suspicions that Rice was at the fore of a Benghazi cover-up are complete bunk.)
Sen. Graham, undeterred, shot back in an official statement, saying "Mr. President, don't think for one minute I don't hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack…[And] given what I know now, I have no intention of promoting anyone who is up to their eyeballs in the Benghazi debacle." McCain was similarly harsh, stating that Obama has "either been guilty of colossal incompetence or engaged in a cover-up."
It's worth noting that the last time Obama publicly rebuffed an accusation this aggressively was during his second presidential debate with Mitt Romney—when the conversation also turned to the Benghazi embassy attack and Susan Rice. The tone and rhythm he struck during Wednesday's press conference was basically a Xerox copy of this:
It's Time for the Republican Freakout Over Susan Rice to Stop

Make Sure You Vote On Nov. 3 (Demo)
If everything goes according to plan, you will receive this edition of RealtyLine before the 2020 election. This is an important election for many reasons, none of which shall be shared here. It is not my intention to influence your vote one way or another. It is simply my intention to encourage you to vote. Get out there and vote — it is one of the things that makes this country great!
Both Texas REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS® have political action committees: TREPAC and RPAC, respectively. Both PACs have mission statements as well, and they are similar in nature. The mission of TREPAC-Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee is to raise and disburse funds to promote home ownership, protect real property rights and increase political awareness. RPAC's mission is to protect and preserve property ownership rights to the benefit of all citizens throughout the United States.
On a national level, RPAC supports candidates and officeholders who support a variety of REALTOR® issues, including making sure REALTORS® in every state are deemed essential service providers, extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (this challenge is a traditional pawn), drones, cannabis (yes, cannabis), ADA website compliance, financing options, fair housing and broadband access, just to name a few.
In Texas, TREPAC has been the constant advocate for REALTORS® and property owners for decades, and there have been plenty of successes. Notably, TREPAC-supported officials have been instrumental in placing important measures on the ballot.
In 2007, Texas voters approved a measure that allows each of us to claim a property tax exemption on one car used for business as well as personal uses (Proposition 6). The passage of Proposition 6 was estimated to save REALTORS® an average of $1,000 per year.
In 2015, Texas REALTORS® promoted and were successful in passing a constitutional ban on transfer taxes that would have affected all real estate transactions in Texas, both sales and leases. A transfer tax could potentially discourage homeownership and state economists estimated a 7 percent reduction in sales volume if such a tax existed. The defeat of that potential tax saved the average REALTOR® in Texas thousands of dollars per year
If you are a broker, you can thank TREPAC-supported officials for the repeal of the "occupations tax" that was assessed to brokers every two years when they renewed their licenses. That is a $300 license renewal savings every two years.
Across the country, 85 percent of REALTORS® are registered to vote, but in 2016, only 74 percent of members exercised that right. As a profession, REALTORS® are better informed on the issues than any other professional group, more knowledgeable of the issues at hand and more likely to vote. Let's all make sure that we get out the vote this year, and let's all encourage others to do the same.
Both PACs are color blind when it comes to supporting candidates for office. The PACs advocate for the REALTOR® Party — not blue, not red, but purple. The PACs support candidates who have a proven track record of supporting real estate issues. TREPAC supports candidates who understand the importance of a strong real estate market to the Texas economy. All candidates are vetted by your Texas REALTOR® leaders (leaders like yourself) to ensure each one is a REALTOR® champion.
It is easy for Texas REALTORS® to know the issues, no matter how you choose to get your information! Text "TREPAC" to 512-806-0316 for instant news and updates. Sign up for the Legislative Liaison e-mail newsletter for updates during legislative sessions and throughout the year at texasrealestate.com/liaison. Just check the Legislative Liaison box and click "save." Read the TREPAC newsletter at TREPAC.com/blog. Want to be engaged on social media? Follow @TexasTREPAC on Twitter and like the TREPAC page at Facebook.com/TREPAC.
Bottom line once again, make sure you vote, and I will see you at the polls!

Lemurian Seed Crystals are known as master healers, and are thought to carry messages from the lost continent of Lemuria or Mu that is now buried beneath the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years Polynesians have handed down stories of a continent on the Pacific that was the motherland of mankind. Legends of Mu are narrated in the ancient knowledge of numerous indigenous tribes of the Philippines, such as the B'laan and Samal of Mindanao. There are still many sites in the Philippines today with boulders that are thought to be remnants of Mu, and portals to the spirit world. The Lemurians were known for high telepathic powers and spirituality, and legends tell us that having foreseen a cataclysmic event, they programmed Seed Crystals with their knowledge and traditions before departing the Earth for other star systems, or going deep into the Earth where they exist as light beings or spirits. As the Philippines is thought to be part of the lost continent, that could explain why there are so many healers, psychics, mediums, and spirits.
The idea of the Lemurian continent first appeared on the Eurocentric world radar through the works of Augustus Le Plongeon, (1826-1908) a 19th century researcher and writer who conducted investigations of Mayan ruins in the Yucatan. He announced that he had translated ancient Mayan writings, which allegedly showed that the Maya were older than the later civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt, and also told the story of an even older continent of Mu, whose survivors founded the Mayan civilization. There are various dates for the Lemurian timeline – some placing it millions of years ago – while others define the Lemurian era as roughly 75,000 to 20,000 B.C. – prior to Atlantis. Others speculate that Atlantis and Lemuria co-existed for thousands of years. The exact location of Lemuria also varies with different researchers and authors, though it is part of the mysteries of the Pacific region flowing into the American continent, just as Atlantis is linked to the Atlantic land areas that stretch to the Mediterranean Sea. Wherever you believe the location of Lemuria to be, it is linked with the Ring of Fire. Stone monuments of mysterious origin dot the entire Pacific, from Japan's underwater site at Yonaguni, to cryptic petroglyphs on Hawaii's Big Island, to Easter Island among sacred and megalithic sites. Many believe that Easter Island was part of Lemuria. Its hundreds of colossal stone statues and written language point to an extremely advanced culture, yet appeared in the world's most remote spot. The legends of Easter Island speak of Hiva which sank beneath the waves as people fled. Samoans called a similar place Bolutu. It was stocked with trees and plants bearing fruits and flowers, which were immediately replaced when picked. On Bolutu men could walk through trees, houses, and other physical objects without any resistance. The Maoris of New Zealand still talk about arriving long ago from a sinking island called Hawaiki, a vast and mountainous place on the other side of the water.
The legend goes that Lemuria was a peaceful and highly developed spiritual civilization believed to exist over 12 million years ago. The holy people or prophets of the Lemurian culture began receiving information that the Earth was going to go through a very dramatic shift. The shift that they were referring to was what is also known as the Great Flood and the destruction of Atlantis. These holy people of Lemuria were very much in touch with the land as they were/are the ancient ancestors of modern day Native Hawaiians (Kanaka Maoli). They began to be aware that it was very important that the knowledge from Lemuria be preserved. So for about 2,000 to 3,000 years, they prepared for this great cataclysm by programming Seed Crystals with their knowledge of the Earth and of mankind's history. Having seeded the crystals, the Lemurians, it is believed, left this planet for other star systems. Others went into inner earth (while maintaining telepathic connection with those in other parts of the galaxy), where they continue to care for the earth and the seed crystals now surfacing. When the flood came, all the Lemurians who were underground were safe from the waters, even though many, many people on the surface of the Earth perished. When the waters receded, the people emerged from underground. The land they once knew was now very different. This emergence from the Earth is the point at which the Native Americans' creation history begins. Most native peoples have lost the exact literal memory of this emergence, but within the highest ranks of shamans, this knowledge is still passed on. This oral history has been passed down through Native Hawaiians, Native Americans, Incas and Hun Elders, as well as native peoples of the Pacific area, including South East Asia, Maharlika (Philippines), and the Ainu of Japan.
In Mindanao, there exists a place of breathtaking beauty known as the Arakan Valley that stretches along the boundaries of the Davao and North Cotabato provinces, its hills and ranges interspersed with pockets of fog and mist giving a scenic landscape of mystic beauty. Among the Indigenous Peoples that have lived for centuries in this mist-veiled valley are the sub-group of the Ata-Manobo people known as the Talaingod, or "mountain people". In Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a place of similar mysterious beauty jutted with verdant hills, cloaked with mist, and of soaring Vimana temples ethereally frozen in time. The Indigenous inhabitants of Arakan, Myanmar are known as the Mon People. Interestingly, the Mon People are also known by their other name, the Talaing. The Mon people are considered among the earliest peoples of continental Southeast Asia according to mainstream (white) history, evidences of their presence were traced by as much as 550 CE with the discovery of Mon script inside a cave. No mainstream history books or typical academic institutions (again, white) have ever discussed this seeming coincidence of distant peoples and mountain ranges having almost exactly the same names.
The Bagobo Peoples who live along the riverbanks of the sacred Cibolan River in the foothills of Mt. Apo in Mindanao (the Philippines highest mountain and volcano) narrated the ancient claim that the source of all tribes in the World originated from Cibolan River. The Bagobo also tell of a series of natural disasters, famine, and upheavals that had forced the ancient diaspora of the forefathers of ancient tribes and the scattering to other parts of the World, which is interesting because some Indigenous Peoples of North America such as the Navajo also remember their once distant homeland as Cibola. The word "Cibola" has actually been intriguingly traced to be of Dravidian origin. Dravidian-speaking people are natively found in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Maldives, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The Navajos trace descent through the mother, and their families centers around the grandmother, similar to the cult of the Great Mother, which is a feature of Dravidian Hinduism. The Navajo rites, chants and dances are based entirely on the characters, incidents and places of their mythology and ritual designs. The dancers wear masks and dresses according to exacting standards, and impersonate the gods and heroes (Kachina) of their mythology. Foremost among these ancestral heroes of the Navajos are the Twins, the sons of Sun and Earth-Mother. These Twins are also called "Little War-Gods", a name which closely evokes the one of the Hindu Ashvin Twins and, more exactly, the two brothers Skanda and Ganesha, respectively the generalissimos of the gods and of the devils in Hindu mythology. The Twins free the earth from all sorts of monsters, creating order out of the prevalent chaos. The Navajo Twins closely correspond to the ones of the Pueblo Indians and those of the Mayas and even the ones of the Indians of South America. Indeed, the Navajo Twins are the counterparts of the many twins of the Old World, pairs like Castor and Pollux, Atlas and Gadeiros, as well as the Ashvin Twins of Vedic India. In all cases the function of these Twins was ridding the world of monsters and pests, including diseases and vermin. This is true on both sides of the world. It is only the generalized ignorance of these traditions that allows the enduring of the foolish theories which prevail among academics who generally believe that these civilizations developed in total isolation from each other.
Archaeological evidences have started to reveal that an ancient civilization did exist for thousands of years in the Maharlikan lands to further vindicate the ancient claims of the Bagobo Peoples. In the Marianas Islands, excavation of pottery shards dated 3500 years ago have been further traced to originate from the Maharlikan lands that predated to be of even older time at 3800 – 4000 yrs. From this is can be surmised that a series of geological stirrings could have triggered the mass diaspora of the ancient tribes. The Bagobo Peoples living in the foothills of Mt. Apo narrated of rumblings in the heavens that may signify the eruption of Mt. Apo, of ancient drought and famine that forced their ancestors to flee and found other cultures and tribes. The spread of ancient settlements may also be documented through over 3000-year-old archaeological anthropomorphic jar artifacts discovered in Saranggani in Mindanao to the south of Mt. Apo and eventually to Luzon with unique limestone tombs discovered in Quezon province aged over thousand years old. It's been speculated that the many eruptions of Mt. Pinatubo in Luzon may had further triggered the next wave of diaspora of among our Maharlikan ancestors as the survivors struggled to escape from impending disaster. The eruptive history of Mt. Pinatubo had been clustered to 6 - 12 periods, and the eruption of 1991 was said to be very small by comparison.
This may partly explain as to why forefathers of the Ifugao people built stairways of rice terraces in the hilly landscape of the Cordilleras, despite fertile flatlands somewhere else, in an attempt to escape from Mt. Pinatubo wrecking havoc among the lowlands by that time. The other ancestral survivors however, most probably trapped along the edges of Luzon by volcanic eruptions, had no other refuge but to cross over the wide expanse of the seas in their balangay boats, ultimately to navigate towards the Continental part of Asia. By the 7th Century CE, the Maharlikan survivors began to rebuild anew and may have created the earliest Southeast Asian kingdoms of the Champa in Vietnam, the Khmers of Kampuchea, and the Mons of Myanmar.
A Lemurian Seed Crystal is usually either a communicator or healer, with most of them being communicators . These crystals may be in a range of colors including clear, smokey, green, pink, blue, Citrine colored and apricot, or what are commonly known as golden healers. Many have a light coating of iron oxide, which may be the reason for the coloring of some specimens. They have deep ridges on the sides, like a ladder, and this is the major characteristic that identifies them. Lemurian crystals are all wands and as such, conduct, amplify, and focus the Universal Life Force.
Lemurian Seed Crystals have strong feminine Yin energy, and can be used for balancing the body and emotions, to retrieve ancient information, and to communicate with spirit guides and beings of higher energy vibrations. They are used in spiritual healing when the entire organism is out of balance with itself, and can be used to bring a sense of oneness to a person suffering from feelings of disjointedness or detachment. Their healing energy seems to be more focused on teaching than actually healing. These crystals have an incredible intuitive energy, and seem to almost guide the healer in the use of other crystals. They seem to help our minds rapidly assimilate information and process it in a non-linear fashion so that suddenly we "just know" what is wrong and what is to be done to correct it.

If you are considering a home sale, we would be happy to sit down with you to answer your questions and help you with the planning.
Please call (623) 261-6198 to schedule a Free, No-Obligation consultation.
If you decide you want to sell, we will inspect your home, prepare a Competitive Market Analysis, and give you a written "List Price" recommendation.
Result in a sale before the average "days on market"
The simple fact is: Price is the Number One factor that most homebuyers use to determine which homes they want to view. And it's important to remember, that although you set the price, the buyer determines the value of the home.
Important Tip: Overpricing is a common mistake that will cost you in the end. Do not allow your enthusiasm to get a high price impact your better judgment. What really matters is how your home stacks up against other homes currently offered for sale and recently sold in your neighborhood.
Make No Mistake: Overpriced homes take longer to sell and buyers do not offer full price on homes which have been on the market a long time. Many buyers think there is something "wrong" with a home if it remains unsold after only one month on the market.
The next step is to sign the listing agreement. Ideally, we sign the listing agreement at least seven to ten days before the marketing of your home begins. These precious days allow us to photograph the home, prepare brochures, and send out mailings in advance. The result is more activity, more excitement, and (when all goes as planned) the creation of a competitive bidding environment where buyers fear losing the property to another bidder!
"First Impressions are Lasting Impressions". Except for over-pricing your home, the biggest marketing mistake we can make is rushing buyers and agents to your home before it is ready to be shown.
Here are some important things you can do to improve the first impression of your home while Doug Campbell, REALTOR, is preparing the marketing brochure.
Organize the kitchen counters & cabinets.
Remove faded wallpaper and glue any areas that have come away from the wall.
Clean and deodorize the carpet.
Repair loose knobs, sticking doors and windows, warped cabinet drawers, broken light switches, electrical sockets, and other minor flaws which might distract buyers.
Check plumbing in the kitchen and bathrooms… Fix drips. Clean hard water deposits.
Light and bright is our goal. Increasing light bulb wattage if possible can be helpful.
Dark paint/wallpaper, dark carpets/rugs, and dark window coverings will make rooms look smaller and should be avoided if possible.
Cozy fireplaces burning are great to make a home feel warm in the winter. Breezes from open windows or air conditioning makes a home feel cool in the summer.
This is just a general list of suggestions. For specific suggestions for your home call Doug Campbell, REALTOR at (623) 261-6198.
These items will be completed within days. "Anyone and Everyone" seeking to purchase a home such as yours in your neighborhood will learn about it!
To begin the marketing of your home call Doug Campbell, REALTOR at (623) 261-6198.
As your Real Estate expert, Doug Campbell, REALTOR, will help you negotiate the best possible price and terms. Once all parties have agreed on the price and terms, escrow will be opened and documents will be sent and explained to you.
To learn more, please call Doug Campbell, REALTOR at (623) 261-6198.
Step 7: Disclosures, Property Inspection, Requests, Appraisal, Loan Approval, Repairs, Walk-Thru, Closing, & Possession.
Next, Doug Campbell, REALTOR, will deliver the disclosure packet to the buyer or Buyer's Agent, and the buyer will almost certainly hire a professional property inspector to identify defects and/or repair items in the home. The buyer should make a reasonable list of items for repair. Doug Campbell, REALTOR, will negotiate with the buyer or buyer's agent based upon your instructions. Unless the home was sold as a "fixer upper" we can say, as general rule the buyer will expect all major systems in the home to be in working order. The roof and plumbing should be free of leaks, electrical should be to code, appliances, furnace, windows, and door locks should all function safely.
Once the buyer has completed the inspections, Doug Campbell, REALTOR, will work to remove the contingencies are removed in writing in a timely fashion.


Israel's state prosecutor's office in Yerushalayim has filed a precedent-setting lawsuit against the estate of a Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem seven months after the man carried out a car-ramming attack that left four Israelis dead.
Fadi al-Qanbar, 28, drove his truck into a group of Israeli army cadets participating in an educational tour of Yerushalayim last January. Four soldiers, three women and one man, were killed in the attack, and he was shot to death by a vigilant civilian.
Now, the Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office is seeking compensation from Qanbar's wife and his four young children, heirs to his estate, for burial costs, such as headstones, loss of earnings and pension benefits it laid out for the victims. The total could be as high as $2.3 million.
The lawsuit is likely to be the first in several cases brought by the state against the families of Palestinian attackers.
Over the past two years, a spate of stabbing, shooting and vehicular assaults carried out by individuals in "lone wolf" attacks against Israelis have left nearly 50 Israelis and more than 200 Palestinians dead. Israel says most of the Palestinians killed were attempting to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians, soldiers or police officers.


Hagens Berman represents Meijer Inc. and Meijer Distribution Inc. in a class-action lawsuit filed against drug maker, Ranbaxy, accusing the pharma company of recklessly stuffing the generic drug approval queues with grossly inadequate applications, deceiving the FDA into granting tentative approvals to lock in statutory exclusivities to which Ranbaxy was not entitled and brandishing these undeserved exclusivities to exclude others while its own applications floundered, all at the direct expense of U.S. drug purchasers. Hagens Berman seeks to represent a nationwide class of direct purchasers who suffered from defendants' fraudulent and anticompetitive conduct that delayed the entry of generic drugs into the U.S. market.
The suit further accuses Ranbaxy of recklessly and fraudulently bogging down the FDA generic approval process, wrongfully acquiring the ability to preclude or stall the efforts of other generic companies that are responsibly seeking to enter U.S. markets and delaying generic entry while it struggles to get its own act together.
According to the complaint, Meijer suffered and continues to suffer antitrust injury as a result of defendants' unlawful conduct. In June 2016, Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley recommended that the defendants' bid to dismiss the complaint be denied. In September 2016 Judge Gorton adopted that recommendation over the defendants' objections. Discovery is now ongoing.
The court held argument on the motion to dismiss. Supplemental briefs are due on Apr. 11, 2016.
