Jñana, Karma & Bhakti | The river of Yoga/
The spiritual journey of Yoga can be compared to that of a river. A river gets born in a little spring and slowly separates itself from its source. Then it winds its way meandering through mountains, valleys, cities, towns and caves, finally merging into one big gigantic ocean.
The evolution of Yoga, not just as a philosophical system, but a more in a metaphysical notion mirrors the journey of such a river. The concept of Yoga took a wonderful journey through the history of time. All the great seers of the past saw this clearly and categorised it into three different kinds - Jñana-yoga, Karma-yoga and Bhakti-yoga.Read More

After reviewing Noroi last week I decided to stick with the whole Japanese trip and sample another offering from director Kôji Shiraishi. I was pretty upbeat about the whole thing as I fully enjoyed re-watching Noroi all these years later…
Sad to say, but this film left me a little bit cold from about twenty minutes in. It started off well enough and I found the initial scenes quite gripping – it just failed spectacularly where Noroi managed to succeed.
Asian films are pretty 'hit and miss' to me because of one important factor – the quality of acting. I'm afraid this one missed the boat in that respect by a large distance.
The Plot
The film follows three young Japanese actresses that are hired to take part in a documentary about a local family's ( the Kaneda's ) exorcism.
They arrive at the house with priest in tow to find out that the family is only made up of two members – a young girl and her mother.
The cameras are set up and the priest's rituals begin – they don't have to wait long for the supernatural response to gather pace. Numerous exorcists turn up at the house to help out but the problem only seems to get worse.
What have these three young actresses got themselves into?
OK…The Acting Gig Again!
I know I've mentioned it once already but I feel it's necessary to point out the ONLY downfall to this Found Footage effort – the acting!
Quite simply terrible.
At times I thought some of the actors were putting in a comedy performance on purpose – I was wrong…they were actually trying their hardest.
It's important to point out that this film really would of been quite good if they had manged to attract the same quality of actor used in Noroi. But I'm afraid they scraped the bottom of the barrel here ( at best! ).
My ten year old son probably did a better job at his last school nativity play.
I REALLY wanted to like this film because of the link to Noroi but I struggled to get through the 90 minutes if I'm honest with you.
Some of the CGI was pretty cool and the way the demons were portrayed as worm-like creatures was also a nice touch. But all that fell to the wayside when you realized you had to spend another hour or so watching this diabolically bad cast.
There are a few more offering's from Kôji Shiraishi floating about out there and I was going to spend the week reviewing them.
Change of plan for the moment I'm afraid – I'll let this one slide to the back of my memory first.
Before I wrote this review I actually did something I've never done on this site before – I tried my hardest to find positive notes to 'shine the film up' a bit. I felt really let down by the quality when I stood it next to Noroi and I had heard some good reports on it.
As far as recommending it goes – I really don't know what to say?
Some Found Footage fans out there apparently really like this film and others ( like me ) found it more of a comedy show. I suppose if you can put up with the quality of performance you might well enjoy the film.
But don't let me put you off the experience – find out for yourselves…

What an interesting week in the medicine twittersphere and blogosphere! In an exclusive club like physicians, politicians, and, say, Tour De France riders - people in these groups don't like to call each other out. It's kind of a like a unspoken "code" that is out there. However, when one peer goes after another peer - like Netanyahu vs Obama - or Tyler Hamilton vs Lance Armstrong - or, in this case @Doctor_V vs @Mommy_Doctor - this is where things get really interesting.
If you didn't already hear, there was a post this week on 33Charts called "Unprofessional Physician Behavior on Twitter." Now, the message behind this post is nothing new - it is unprofessional to share patient information on social media. Now, this post was particularly interesting in that one physician called out another physician on specific tweets.
The post itself was ok, but what fascinated me was the response that has been happening in the days following - this includes over 100 comments on that particular post, numerous blog posts, and tons of twitter chatter. The issue has gone beyond what the post was to what seems like groups of twitterers taking sides and taking personal shots on social media.
I hope you can join me this week for Family Medicine Rocks Podcast 11 on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 9pm Eastern Daylight Time on BlogTalkRadio in which I will review the post, analyze the reaction/fallout, and try to make some predictions on what this means to the physician social media community moving forward. (Also check out the video post above)
Will certain people gain or lose social media reputation following this incident? Will this divide the physician community beyond repair? Or will an incident like this, in some strange way, make the community stronger as we move ahead? For people new to the show, there will also be a live chat room to talk during the show. Even if you cannot join live, you can always download the show later on the archived podcast. Hope you can join me for this intriguing show this week!

The Ymmyarns order has been shipped and should be arriving soon so if you have been waiting for color cards it should not be long now. If you would like color cards for these yarns now would be a good time to let me know and I will get them out to you as soon as the shipment arrives.
I am still trying to get my older projects finished up before the new loom arrives and giving some thought to drawing the cartoon for the Paintbox tapestry but no action yet on that job. It is tempting to start it," but the finishing comes first", she said with determination.

Washington (CNN) -- Newt Gingrich's decision to acknowledge publicly he is exploring a White House bid will be seen as a significant moment, a line drawn in the sand that will mark the official beginning of the 2012 race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Except, the start of the 2012 campaign dates to 2009 when several candidates began taking strategic steps toward a run for the GOP nomination.
Yes, Gingrich's decision to announce he is in an "exploratory phase" is an important development in a primary that until now has had no official contestants.
But unofficially the race for the GOP presidential nomination has been under way for two years -- to the time when Republicans were in disarray after receiving a political thumping in the 2008 elections.
Notable 2012 markers were laid down as early as June 2009 when Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour made stops in Iowa and New Hampshire to raise money for the two state Republican parties and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced he would not seek a third term. A few months later, Pawlenty headed to Iowa to raise money for the Iowa Republican Party, made some key hires and opened a fundraising committee to finance his political activities.
At the same time, the political fates of Barbour and Pawlenty were unintentionally boosted by then-South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's spectacular fall from grace when he admitted to having an extramarital affair that not only squashed his presidential ambitions but forced him to relinquish his position as head of the Republican Governors Association.
Barbour assumed the chairmanship, while Pawlenty moved into the vice chairman's slot, and the two were able to travel the country campaigning for GOP candidates, building their personal networks of donors and supporters along the way. It allowed Barbour and Pawlenty to make key political contacts if either decided to run for president.
Iowa also received a visit from former Sen. Rick Santorum in late 2009, the first of multiple stops by the ex-Pennsylvania lawmaker to three important early-voting states. As of this week, Santorum has traveled 30 times -- split evenly -- to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Santorum plans more visits in the coming months as he continues to mull a candidacy that is more likely to happen than not.
Meanwhile, the Iowa Republican Party benefited from visits by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who each headlined fundraising dinners in 2010. Gingrich also made multiple stops in Iowa last year. He returns to Iowa on Monday for a forum hosted by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition. Pawlenty and Santorum will also appear at the forum.
While campaign stops over the past two years provided potential presidential candidates an excuse to crisscross the country, book tours also offered opportunities to travel to key states and maintain a national political profile.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is in the middle of such a tour to promote his new book, "A Simple Government." Last week, Huckabee was in Iowa, while he travels to South Carolina next week. He said last week the book tour would help him decide if he should run again.
The similarity between 2012 and 2008 are the names: Huckabee, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Paul and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The big difference is that four years ago the primary was fully engaged as candidates competed for money, staff and national name recognition. Not so much this time around, said an adviser to a potential GOP presidential candidate, who cited Gingrich, Huckabee, Palin and Romney as candidates with key attributes or campaign building blocks already in place.
"What you have is four potential candidates with very, very high national name awareness," said the adviser, who spoke about the campaign only on the condition of anonymity. "There hasn't been pressure to move very quickly."
With Gingrich's decision to open an exploratory committee, will there be new pressure on candidates to announce their intentions sooner rather than later?
"I don't think so," said an adviser to another potential Republican presidential candidate. "I think every candidate is in a slightly unique situation and therefore will have a unique timeline that is not necessarily affected by who else is in the race and when they get in."
One such candidate with a "unique situation" is Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee, who has been coy about her political future. Palin could wait until the fall before announcing her candidacy and still be considered a serious contender for the nomination.
But Ed Failor Jr, president of Iowans for Tax Relief, said he thinks Gingrich's announcement will "kick it into gear and prompt others" to make their intentions publicly known.
"They need to be getting in now," Failor said. "I think you will see by April 1 what the field is going to look like."
Of course, Failor added the caveat, "Then there will be some add-on" candidates who decide later whether to seek the GOP nomination.

This is a weird issue I found. One of my users saved a Wiki Page library as a template and created a new wiki page library.
The new Wiki Lib works fine as expected and then he had deleted the old one.
Now when he tried to create another wiki library from the new wiki lib, it gave all the pages but the weird thing is all contents are gone.
I performed following steps to resolve this issue.
i.e. Source Wiki Page Library = Lib A
i.e. New Wiki Page Library = Lib B
· Open Lib B which made from Lib A and having all the content
· Click on the drop down of each pages and then click "Edit Properties"
· Click on OK without changing any content
· Then save Lib B as a template
· Create a new Wiki Lib (i.e. Lib C)
· You will get all contents (Wiki Pages) with all contents in it.
Please let me know in case of any issues / queries.

BEAR ('Base for Experiment, Art & Research') lecture: 'A Map Against The World' by Huang Jing Yuan.
The last guest speaker of the BEAR lecture series is the Chinese artist Huang Jing Yuan (1979, Guangxi). She is a participant of 'Theater 44 and 'On Practice', as well as the initiator of "Writing • Mother", an on-going communal writing project with the ambition of discovering the potential of a feminist critique through the lens of family life.
Huang Jing Yuan was born in 1979, of Zhuang minority descent. She received a BFA from Concordia University (Montreal) in 2005 and a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2008. Since her return to China in 2010, her work has focused on the contradictions within Chinese society, and disconnections between China and the world. Two major series were produced during this period: the "Confucius City Project" and "I Am Your Agency. Since 2014, concerned over the diminution of a civil society under the Xi administration, Huang has worked with the idea of socialist realism, attempting to subvert the key mechanics of this historically complex genre. Notable projects from this period of work include "Civility Trilogy," "Invitation of Models," and "Mao's Love Letter." Since 2017, her exhibitions and residencies have focused on exploring the conflicted inner strength of people in the provincial setting. Her first film "Solutions" is made during this period.
Please note the lecture will be held at the Artez auditorium and not at Arnhem museum, due to the current museum renovations. Doors will be closed as the lecture commences.

- Posted
- AuthorMichael Pace
From 1st April 2013, the Government are changing the law on how a claim is made and who has to pay your solicitors bill, in favour of the Insurance Industry.
If you have suffered an accident and been injured or, have been diagnosed with an illness caused by your work, in the last three years, then you need to see us as soon as you can. We can then enter into a No Win No Fee agreement with you under the current rules and your compensation will be protected.
After 1st April 2013, any new agreement with us (or any other solicitor) will see you having to contribute up to 25% of your compensation towards the legal bill as well as having to pay the cost of an insurance premium to protect you in the event of losing.

So, if you have had an accident and are wondering whether to make a claim or not, please come and see us now for a free assessment, in order to make sure you get all of your compensation.

The Town's General Plan is our land use bible. All decisions are supposed to be consistent with the General Plan. The Town has put forth an ambitious program for the much needed up date of the General Plan. A large task force, including repreasentatives of the various commissions and committees and 13 members of the public at large will be named on March 10th.
The Town has dedicated a portion of its website to providing information about this process. As important as this process is, it is unfortunate that the Town will not be video streaming these Task Force meetings. The Town has though provided room on their web site for you here to be able to express your view. Hopefully, this opportunity will remain available throughout the process.
At this time, you may want to make some general comment about things which are particularly important to you. The best place to start to look for what will be important to you is on what the Town calls a Report card here with Goals, Program Objectives and Status. Some areas of concern that we have already herd about include: the proper role of trails (re: bicycles, horses, pesestrians); simplification of the approval process; concern for property rights; and affordable housing issues.
Make sure your voice is herd!

Ewwww.....HOSPITAL FOOD!
Ok so no one likes hospital food much.....but...these days hospital cafeterias have come a long way! I was recently visiting a friend in the hospital when she was having a baby, and had a very good lunch there! But every time I myself have been in the hospital, the food has been awful! So bad in fact, that I always made sure anyone who came to visit brought me food! LOLHATE....use crafting items, colors and images that you normally would not choose. For example if you hate the color pink and animal images, let me see you use a pig! LOL
It is a well known fact that I absolutely HATE using glitter.... it never sticks for me, falls off after, and stays in my hair and clothes for at least a day afterward! And stickles! ACK! They takes years to dry! But for this challenge I pre-medicated and used some glitter...a whole lot of it! (just for you Lee!) Here is my sample:
stamps- SU medallion, PTI asian fusion
paper- black, rustic cream, SU newsprint DP
ink- real red, versamark, black
accessories- red glitter EP, black EP, dazzling diamonds,
ribbon, SU embossing folder, rhinestone, PTI dies
I actually found glittered embossing powder that sticks and still looks like glitter. I versamarked a square of white paper, embossed using the red glitter embossing powder and then used a die cut for the flower. The black circle behind it I added dazzling diamonds to regular black embossing powder and it gives a nice glittery, shiny look.. Hard to see in the photo, of course.... ;)

Bronk's Knifeworks Xross Bar Lock folding EDC Pocket knife of distinction
Home of the Xross Bar Lock EDC Pocket Knife
Titanium bolsters, Ti clip and jeweled Titanium liners
CPM154CM blade and bone Micarta handle.
Ball bearing pivot makes this flipper silky smooth.
Patented Xrossbar technology for strongest and double lockup on the planet
Welcome to the web sight of Bronk's Knifeworks, the home of the new patented Xross Bar Lock EDC pocket knife and the tactical folding knife.
For the past several years I have been busy developing the patented Xross Bar Lock EDC pocket knife and other tactical folding knives, including the Side Kick EDC pocket knife and the Starfighter tactical folding knife.
The sole purpose of developing the Xross Bar Lock EDC pocket knife was to create the safest and strongest folding knife possible for both the military such as the Starfighter tactical folding knife and for the rest of us is its equal, the EDC pocket knife Sidekick or every day carry knife which works equally well for the sportsman.
I wanted to create a unique, classy, hard working, highly functional, reliable and easy one handed operating knife and one that I would carry myself as I have. It is my constant companion.
My goal is to see the Xross Bar lock in wide use as I believe that it is superior to the liner lock for both safety and strength and safer that any other lock used today.
The Xross Bar Lock Sidekick
The Sidekick new design model, left, has a strong titanium liner and lock, sports titanium bolsters and clip, a flat ground and stonewashed CPM154CM blade and G10 scales. Shown is the Triple Aught Design.
I have made two runs of this EDC pocket knife for Triple Aught Design, the original design and the new redesign that incorporated both the safety, control and feel of the Starfighter model.
I was amazed at how fast these TAD knives were snapped up once delivered and is good demonstration of how well folks value what they sell on their web site and in their San Francisco based stores.
The Sidekick sports a 3.25″ CPM154CM flat ground blade, anodized titanium liners, lock, pocket clip and bolsters with Micarta scales. I have built a couple prototype versions of it that is 85% size, for those who prefer a smaller pocket sized knife. Not quite yet into production as I'm improving on the design still.
Specs. Sidekick; Blade 3.25″, Overall length 8.1″, Closed 4.88″
Specs. Sidekick 85%; Blade 2.82″, Overall length 6.88″, Closed 4.05″
The Xross Bar Lock Starfighter
The Xross Bar Lock Starfighter, right, was originally equipped with stainless steel lock, clip and liners as at the time titanium was not available. It also sported a CPM154CM blade as well.
The Micarta scales were CNC machine contoured and grooved for superior gripping action and brings out the natural beauty of the layered material. This knife was featured in Tactical Knives as well as Blade Magazine.
Specs. Starfighter; Blade 4″, Overall length 9.4″, Closed 5.6″
I have parts to make only a few of the original Starfighters and will make a couple minor design improvements before committing to titanium.
Sometimes you just have to fire up a forge and get creative. Here is one in Damascus. The handle is actually Micarta but looks natural.
This little beauty sold for $1,500.00
This unique lock was developed by knife maker C. Lyle Brunckhorst in collaboration with designer engineer Dan Perrault and is one of the strongest locking mechanisms ever created.
The angular shaped liner locking tab travels to the left, engaging directly into the slotted tang of the folding blade, with the trailing lock tab edge and continues into the left liner slot, with the leading edge, making the lock both redundant and ultra strong for that solid and safe feeling. This makes a lock that is nearly as strong as a fixed blade knife. Additionally, by moving the lock to the spine, it keeps fingers away from the blade.
The mirror polished blade is formed from high performing CPM154CM stainless steel, ensuring a keen, long lasting edge.
Titanium liners, bolsters and the pocket clip have been anodized to a deep blue. By using titanium, Lyle has kept this folder light in the hand.
The scales are formed from micarta, one of the most durable materials used in knives. The pocket clip can be provided for either left or right handed carry.

Fuji X-T1 does Iceland
I took the Fuji X-T1 to Iceland for a week long trip. I anticipated some mixed weather and took along the excellent 18-135 as a good all-round option with weather sealing to match the X-T1 body.
I took the X-T1 through some tough conditions including behind the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. I decided to take a 3 shot vertical panorama, wiping the water from the lens before each frame. The camera performed perfectly.

Known as: "El Gallo de la Salsa". (The Rooster) (born June 14, 1955) is a salsa singer and bandleader. Rojas's music career began in 1975 when he auditioned with Pedro Conga and his International Orchestra and was hired as a singer. After a short period of time, he left the band and joined the "Conjunto Borincuba", conducted by Justo Betancourt, as lead singer. With this band, he participated in the recording of "Con Amor" (With Love) which became a hit in 1978.
That same year Rojas joined the Fania All-Stars and had a hit song with "El Campesino" (The Farmer). After spending some time with the Fania All-Stars, Rojas decided to form his own band the "Conjunto Borincano", but the venture was short lived. In 1987 and 1989, he had hits with the salsa versions of the ballads "Noche de Bodas" (Wedding Night), and "Quiereme Como Soy" (Love me the way I am). These were accomplished after he joined the "Puerto Rican Power" band.
In 1990, Rojas went "solo" and recorded the albums "Condename" (1990) "Sensual" (1991) and "A Mi Estilo" (My Style) (1994), however it was his 1995 recording "Por Propio Derecho" (On my own right), that placed Rojas on the Latin Billboards hit list. He gained the recognition he always wanted when he won a double Platinum Record Award, the Paoli Prize for "Best Salsa Artist of the Year" and an "ACE" Award.
In 1996, Rojas had hits with Humildemente (Humbly) and Pal' Pueblo (For my town), he also released 20th Aniversario, Alegrias y Penas and Navidad con Tito in 1999. Rojas continued to record music steadily into the new millenium. His most recent album album "Sin Comentarios" (Without Comments) was released in 2007.

Oceanus (/oʊˈsiːənəs/; Greek: Ὠκεανός Ōkeanós,[1] pronounced [ɔːkeanós]), also known as Ogenus (Ὤγενος Ōgenos or Ὠγηνός Ōgēnos) or Ogen (Ὠγήν Ōgēn),[2] was a divine figure in classical antiquity, believed by the ancient Greeks and Romans to be the divine personification of the ocean, which the Ancient Greeks perceived as an enormous river encircling the world.
The Titan god of the river Okeanos
|Member of the Titans
Oceanus in the Trevi Fountain, Rome
|Other names
|Ogen or Ogenus
|River Oceanus, Arcadia
|Personal information
|Thetis, Metis, Amphitrite, Dione, Pleione, Nede, Nephele, Amphiro, and the other Oceanids, Inachus, Amnisos and the other Potamoi
|Uranus and Gaia
|Roman equivalent
R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greek proto-form *-kay-an-.[3] In contrast, Michael Janda has reminded the scientific community of an earlier comparison[4] of the Vedic dragon Vṛtra's attribute āśáyāna- "lying on [the waters]" and Greek Ὠκεανός (Ōkeanós), which he sees as phonetical equivalents of each other, both stemming from a Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *ō-kei-ṃ[h1]no- "lying on", related to Greek κεῖσθαι (keîsthai "to lie").[5] Janda furthermore points to early depictions of Okeanos with a snake's body,[6] which seem to confirm the mythological parallel with the Vedic dragon Vṛtra.
Another parallel naming can be found in Greek ποταμός (potamós "broad body of water") and Old English fæðm "embrace, envelopment, fathom" which is notably attested in the Old English poem Helena (v. 765) as dracan fæðme "embrace of the dragon" and is furthermore related (via Germanic *faþma "spreading, embrace") to Old Norse Faðmir or Fáfnir the well-known name of a dragon in the 13th century Völsunga saga; all three words derive from PIE *poth2mos "spreading, expansion" and thus bind together the Greek word for a "broad river, stream" with the Germanic expressions connected to the dragon's "embrace".[5]
Mythological accountEdit
According to Homer, Oceanus was the ocean-stream at the margin of the habitable world (οἰκουμένη, oikouménē), the father of everything,[7][8] limiting it from the underworld[9] and flowing around the Elysium.[10] Hence Odysseus has to traverse it in order to arrive in the realm of the dead.[11] In the Iliad, Hera mentions her intended journey to her foster parents, namely "Oceanus, from whom they all are sprung":
Helios rises from the deep-flowing Oceanus in the east[14] and at the end of the day sinks back into the Oceanus in the west.[15] Also the other stars "bathe […] in the stream of Ocean".[16] Oceanus is called βαθύρροος ("deep-flowing")[17] and ἀψόρροος ("flowing back to itself, circular"),[18] the latter quality being reflected in its depiction on the shield of Achilles:
In Greek mythology, this ocean-stream was personified as a Titan, the eldest son of Uranus and Gaia. Oceanus' consort is his sister Tethys, and from their union came the ocean nymphs, also referred to as the three-thousand Oceanids, and all the rivers of the world, fountains, and lakes.[21]
In most variations of the war between the Titans and the Olympians, or Titanomachy, Oceanus, along with Prometheus and Themis, did not take the side of his fellow Titans against the Olympians, but instead withdrew from the conflict. In most variations of this myth, Oceanus also refused to side with Cronus in the latter's revolt against their father, Uranus. He is, it appears, some sort of an outlaw to the society of Gods, as he also does not—and unlike all the other river gods, his sons—take part in the convention of gods on Mount Olympus.[22]
Besides, Oceanus appears as a representative of the archaic world that Heracles constantly threatened and bested. As such, the Suda identifies Oceanus and Tethys as the parents of the two Kerkopes, whom Heracles also bested. Heracles forced Helios to lend him his golden bowl, in order to cross the wide expanse of the Ocean on his trip to the Hesperides. When Oceanus tossed the bowl about, Heracles threatened him and stilled his waves. The journey of Heracles in the sun-bowl upon Oceanus became a favored theme among painters of Attic pottery.
In Hellenistic and Roman mosaics, this Titan was often depicted as having the upper body of a muscular man with a long beard and horns (often represented as the claws of a crab) and the lower body of a serpent (cfr. Typhon). On a fragmentary archaic vessel of circa 580 BC (British Museum 1971.11–1.1), among the gods arriving at the wedding of Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis, is a fish-tailed Oceanus, with a fish in one hand and a serpent in the other, gifts of bounty and prophecy.[6] In Roman mosaics, such as that from Bardo, he might carry a steering-oar and cradle a ship.
In cosmography and geographyEdit
Oceanus appears in Hellenic cosmography as well as myth. Both Homer[23] and Hesiod[24] refer to Okeanós Potamós, the "Ocean Stream". When Odysseus and Nestor walk together along the shore of the sounding sea they address their prayers "to the great Sea-god who girdles the world".[25] Cartographers continued to represent the encircling equatorial stream much as it had appeared on Achilles' shield.[8]
Herodotus was skeptical about the physical existence of Oceanus and rejected the reasoning—proposed by some of his coevals—according to which the uncommon phenomenon of the summerly Nile flood was caused by the river's connection to the mighty Oceanus. Speaking about the Oceanus myth itself he declared:
As for the writer who attributes the phenomenon to the ocean, his account is involved in such obscurity that it is impossible to disprove it by argument. For my part I know of no river called Ocean, and I think that Homer, or one of the earlier poets, invented the name, and introduced it into his poetry.[26]
Some scholars[who?] believe that Oceanus originally represented all bodies of salt water, including the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the two largest bodies known to the ancient Greeks.[citation needed] However, as geography became more accurate, Oceanus came to represent the stranger, more unknown waters of the Atlantic Ocean (also called the "Ocean Sea"), while the newcomer of a later generation, Poseidon, ruled over the Mediterranean Sea.[citation needed]
Late attestations for an equation with the Black Sea abound, the cause being – as it appears – Odysseus' travel to the Cimmerians whose fatherland, lying beyond the Oceanus, is described as a country divested from sunlight.[9] In the fourth century BC, Hecataeus of Abdera writes that the Oceanus of the Hyperboreans is neither the Arctic nor Western Ocean, but the sea located to the north of the ancient Greek world, namely the Black Sea, called "the most admirable of all seas" by Herodotus,[27] labelled the "immense sea" by Pomponius Mela[28] and by Dionysius Periegetes,[29] and which is named Mare majus on medieval geographic maps. Apollonius of Rhodes, similarly, calls the lower Danube the Kéras Okeanoío ("Gulf" or "Horn of Oceanus").[30]
Hecataeus of Abdera also refers to a holy island, sacred to the Pelasgian (and later, Greek) Apollo, situated in the easternmost part of the Okeanós Potamós, and called in different times Leuke or Leukos, Alba, Fidonisi or Isle of Snakes. It was on Leuke, in one version of his legend, that the hero Achilles, in a hilly tumulus, was buried (which is erroneously connected to the modern town of Kiliya, at the Danube delta). Accion ("ocean"), in the fourth century AD Gaulish Latin of Avienus' Ora maritima, was applied to great lakes.[31]

Published in Meteoritics, 31, p. A157.
Among the SNC (martian) meteorites, ALH 84001 is particularly interesting because it has a significantly older crystallization age [1,2]. Moreover, it contains abundant carbonates believed to have formed from interaction with CO2-rich aqueous fluids in a near-surface environment on Mars [3,4]. The C isotopic composition of these carbonates suggests that their parent fluids carried the signature of a highly fractionated martian atmosphere [5]. The formation time of these carbonates would then be important in constraining how early (or late) in the geologic history of Mars this atmospheric fractionation occurred. Therefore, to obtain a formation age for carbonates in this meteorite, we have measured Rb and Sr concentrations and Sr isotopic ratios in bulk samples and mineral separates of ALH 84001.
On a plot of 87Sr/86Sr vs. 87Rb/86Sr the bulk samples, as well as the pyroxene mineral separates, fall on a best-fit line corresponding to an age of 3.84 ± 0.05 G.y., which is considerably lower than what an earlier report implies [2]. The age recorded by the Rb-Sr system is similar to the Ar-Ar shock age [6], and therefore most likely reflects the time of intense shock experienced by ALH 84001. The maskelynite and carbonate data points, however, are slightly offset from the 3.84-G.y. isochron defined by the bulk samples and the pyroxene separates. This is, in fact, to be expected if the carbonate was formed by partial replacement of the original plagioclase (as evidenced by petrographic features in this meteorite[3,4]), and this event occurred significantly later than the last equilibration of the Rb-Sr system in ALH 84001. The age of formation of the carbonates can be determined from the slope of the line joining the carbonate and the maskelynite data points and was calculated to be 1.39 ± 0.10 G.y.
There are several implications of a 1.39 ± 0.10-G.y. age for the carbonates in the ALH 84001 meteorite. The most obvious one is that it provides yet another piece of evidence in support of a martian origin for ALH 84001, since nowhere else in the inner solar system (except Earth) is it reasonable to assume the presence of aqueous fluids at that time. Moreover, all other SNC meteorites known to contain secondary aqueous alteration minerals have formation ages <=1.3 b.y., and thus 1.39 G.y. is so far the oldest time in the geologic history of Mars for which the presence of CO2-rich aqueous fluids actively percolating though crustal rocks is now firmly established.
A 1.39-G.y. age for carbonates also has implications for the isotopic evolution of the martian atmosphere. Given the C isotopic composition of these carbonates [5], our results imply that there was only minimal isotopic fractionation of the atmosphere on Mars, at least within the last 1.39 G.y. Finally, the similarity of this carbonate formation age to the 1.3-G.y. crystallization age for some of the other SNC meteorites could be indicative of a particularly active phase of magmatism and hydrothermal activity on Mars at that time. Although this can only be regarded as speculative at this point, it does raise some interesting possibilities regarding the magmatic history of this planet.

Dia Renews Its Beacon for the Future
Dia Celebrates a Decade of Growth in the City and in Beacon, N.Y.
When it opened in 2003, in a disused cardboard-box factory filled with cobwebs and vestiges of a thrumming industrial past, the art exhibition space known as Dia:Beacon was a novel upstate outpost, far from the flash and glamor of New York. Now, having just celebrated its 10th anniversary, Dia:Beacon stands as an institution with a solid legacy in a place that feels like home.

My message Sunday from Luke 6:27-36 probably left some unanswered questions. One person wrote on a Response Card: "So is it wrong to have security system on your home/property?" Questions like this one are tough to answer. Was Jesus teaching that the most loving way to live is completely exposed in every way to any way in which someone wants to take advantage of you? One commentator, Darrell Bock, wrestled with this question. I'll leave a lengthy quote here for you to consider:
Is Jesus speaking in hyperbole here when he refers to saints being taken advantage of in the context of religious persecution? Hyperbole is not, of course, an unusual rhetorical style for a prophetic declaration. Its recognition allows one to focus on the central and concrete application behind the rhetorically presented image. How then does one know when hyperbole is present? There are at least two keys to identifying this figure of speech: (1) Does the strict, literal application of the remark lead to an absurd result, and (2) do examples of application in the early church illustrate more concretely the intended application?
Let's see how this applies. (1) When, for example, Jesus suggests that the one who takes a disciple's cloak be allowed to take his tunic too, it seems clear that Jesus is not arguing a disciple should willingly be stripped literally down to their skin and go about naked! The point has to do with the risk taken in being totally exposed, even to the point of being totally taken advantage of. (2) We can note that even though Paul continually exposed himself to great danger for the sake of the gospel, there were occasions when the church sent him away from a dangerous area for his own protection (e.g., Acts 16:40; 17:10, 13–14). Thus, sometimes it was prudent to protect oneself from persecution by moving a ministry elsewhere. On the other hand, Stephen forgave his enemies who were putting him to death, just as Jesus had done on the cross (Acts 7:60). Sometimes God calls us to give even our lives.
We live in a world that is often hostile to the gospel today, so we share the ancient context with the disciples who turned to Jesus. Our suffering may or may not take the same form as it did in the time of Jesus, depending on where we live, but the call to love others with an exceptional love remains. God promises that those who respond with mercy will receive much from God's hand—maybe not those things the world sees as valuable, but real blessings that come from God's hand. To the one who pardons comes pardon; to the one who gives come gifts from God's hand.
Quoted from Darrell L. Bock, Luke, The NIV Application Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1996), 194–195.

Celebrity Apprentice Beauty Dayana Mendoza Talks Snack Time Picks and Sweet Tooth Cravings
Venezuelan beauty Dayana Mendoza is more than just a pretty face--after winning the Miss Universe title in 2008, she went on to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and work with the Latino Commission on AIDS. As a contestant on this season of Celebrity Apprentice, Mendoza is vying for the chance to win the competition and have the honor of delivering a $250,000 check to her designated charity. SELF caught up with Mendoza to get her five healthiest habits and the tips that keep her on track.

Start Off On The Right Foot
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I think it's important to eat a big, healthy meal to fuel your body with the right food so that you have energy and can make smart choices when eating lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day," says Mendoza. "I'll usually eat an egg white omelet with veggies and avocado. I don't always have bread in my home but if I do it's whole wheat and I love having a slice of toast with my eggs. Sometimes I'll have a glass of orange juice after my breakfast to satisfy my sweet tooth or if I'm really tired I'll opt for a coffee with skim milk."
Shop Smart
"While shopping for food it helps me a lot to read the nutritional information on every product I buy," says Mendoza. "Bringing home the ones with less fat, less sugar and enough carbohydrates for my diet mean that I always have healthy options when it's time to snack."

Snack Savvy
"Snacks are something to get you by in between meals," says Mendoza. "My advice is to make sure that breakfast, lunch and dinner, are full of energy fueled foods needed for the day; veggies, greens, fish, fruits, beef in moderation. This means that when is time to snack, your decisions are smart and not driven by hunger. If you have eaten well during the day and in between meals, you can avoid cravings for sweets or salted snacks. Some great snacks are non-fat yogurts, nuts--I like to combine the two and add a bit of organic honey and cinnamon. As a huge chocolate fan, I recommend dark chocolate; it's healthier than milk chocolate and if it's Venezuelan, even better!"
Stroll Often
"I love walking around NYC and I try to do it as much as I can," says Mendoza. "I recommend walking for one hour a day but I don't always have the time, so I try to spread the time out during the day by walking to the second buss stop or subway station instead of the closest one. I walk to lunch, walk to dinner, walk to the coffee shop, walk to the gym, I walk everywhere as much as I can. I'm not going to lie; I'm not good at it during wintertime so I try to hit the gym more often."

Sweat It Out
"Being healthy isn't just about food," says Mendoza. "Working out is also a big part of staying healthy and feeling healthy. If I can't get to the gym to attend to a cardio class, I try to look for classes online that I can do from home. Yoga classes and Pilates are what I love to do when I don't feel like running and jumping, and it helps me work my muscles that might not be worked when I'm focusing on cardio."

Smokers can get a life insurance policy, but they will pay a higher price for the coverage. It is already well known the risk factors associated with smoking, and insurance companies consider smokers high risk candidates. Most life insurance companies consider you a non-smoker if you have quit for 12 months, which will qualify you for better rates after a year of being nicotine free.
Regularly review your life insurance policy and amend it if your circumstances change. Examples could be the birth of a child, a change in occupation or an increase in your debt.
As soon as you have paid for your trip, you are at risk, so secure coverage as soon as you have book your vacation.
If you travel several times a year, it often makes sense to take a multi-trip insurance policy as opposed to getting every time single-trip policy.
You will most likely pay a premium for good quality coverage that meets your specific needs. It helps to compare rates and our agents do this for you to ensure you are getting the best coverage for your cost limit.
A financial professional can help you factor in financial considerations, your needs and your family's needs.
Did you know that Mortgage insurance sold through your bank is only designed to protect the lender, and not the homeowner?
If possible, find out whether changing the deductible will make any difference to the price. Often a higher deductible means a lower premium. Rather than cut back on coverage, raising the deductible gives you maximum peace of mind and minimum risk.
"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity"
Legal & General released a report revealing that replacing the work of a full time mum can cost upwards of $40,000 a year.

Take a look at our quick guide to guest house and B&B insurance.
When running guest house or B&B accommodation, there could be many elements of your business that are exposed to different risks. Your job is to identify these risks, and decide which policies offer your business the right protection. To help simplify this process, insurance providers will typically group individual policies into packages.
Guest house insurance, also referred to as bed & breakfast insurance, is a package designed to include the policies that are relevant to protecting a guest house against risks such as damage, theft and injury.
When taking out guest house insurance, you can typically expect the following policies to be included, as they protect against the risks most pertinent to a B&B.
Buildings insurance: As a guest house, one of your most important assets may be your business premises. Buildings insurance should be a cornerstone of your guest house insurance package, to ensure that the physical structure of your building, and any permanent fixtures or fittings, are being properly protected against risks such as fire or flood.
Contents insurance: It is likely you have spent a lot of money on the furnishings in your guest house – both within guest rooms as well as communal areas.
In order to protect these furnishings against damage, loss or theft, you would need to take out contents insurance. Your contents insurance can also be extended to provide extra levels of protection with cover such as:
Tools and equipment insurance: To cover items such as kitchen or bar equipment.
Stock insurance: To cover any business assets in the form of unused stock.
Cash on premises: To cover business finances you may have stored on site.
Public liability insurance: Guests are essential for a B&B, and if an accident occurs that causes injury to a guest, or damage to their property, you may have to defend against a legal claim. Public liability insurance could offer financial support for a legal defence and third party compensation. Click the link for a public liability insurance quote.
Employers' liability insurance: In most cases, guest houses employ staff, so they'll require employers' liability insurance. This policy can provide protection in the event that a member of staff becomes ill or injured as a direct result of their work. Employers' liability can offer financial support to help fund a legal defence if a damages claim is made against your business.
Product liability insurance: Product liability insurance could provide protection if someone were to injure themselves or become ill due to a product your business is linked to. This is especially relevant to a bed and breakfast because it can cover your business for any illness caused by food or drinks that have been served to guests. For a product liability insurance quote, click the link.
Business interruption insurance: If your business is impacted by an unforeseen event and must temporarily close, for example due to damage caused by a fire, then business interruption insurance could cover the costs of any ongoing overheads, such as rent and salaries. In some cases, your policy could also cover revenue lost during closure.

Everything about him is shrouded in mystery. The mask he can't remove. The past he can't unravel. And the very survival of the people who have chosen him as their leader. But what Hakuoro does know is this: he was gravely injured and left for dead in a forest. A kind young girl named Eruruu found him and nursed him back to health. He was welcomed into a barren land where strange creatures roam, an angry god seeks vengeance, an oppressive government slaughters the innocent, and a bloody war looms on the horizon. Will the masked hero liberate the people who saved him? Can he unlock the memories that elude him? Or will he remain a stranger even to himself?

In his March 10, 2012 statement, Sikyong Dr. Lobsang Sangay called on all Tibetans and friends to make 2012 a Tibet Lobby Year. This call has been a success as we have seen Tibet resolutions in parliaments and congress in EU, France, Italy and the United States; and supportive statements by parliamentarians in Australia, Brazil, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, South Africa, the United States and others.
We express deep appreciation to the United Nations and various governments and parliaments for their attention to the deteriorating situation in Tibet, and welcome the recent statements of Ms. Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, and Mr. Gary Locke, the U.S. Ambassador to China. We also thank organizations like Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, U.S. Congressional Executive Commission on China, etc. for their reporting on Tibet.
Let us build on the successful lobbying efforts of 2012 by launching a Solidarity with Tibet Campaign in 2013.
Despite our repeated appeals to refrain from drastic actions, the wave of self-immolations continues in Tibet with over 92 Tibetans having set themselves on fire to date – 79 in 2012 including 28 in November alone. The Chinese government has responded with more repressive measures. The Central Tibetan Administration maintains its steadfast efforts to make the current situation in Tibet known to the global community including community/political leaders, opinion makers, friends in the media, and people who believe in justice.
In keeping with this effort, a new video on self-immolation, a microsite, and Facebook page are being launched today to mobilize the international community which must not remain an idle bystander. Governments, international bodies, human rights organizations and individuals can make a difference by intensifying their efforts to raise public awareness about the dire situation in Tibet and urge the Chinese government to resolve the issue of Tibet through dialogue. The self-immolators have been calling for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet and restoration of freedom for Tibetans.
We appeal to friends and members of the international community to consider taking following actions:
· Share the link to the microsite (www.solidaritywithtibet.org) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/SolidarityWithTibet) with your circle of friends;
· Share the link to the video on self-immolations and help us make it go viral; (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyjFBg8mwiU)
· Sign-up on ThunderClap to share a synchronized message (at www.solidaritywithtibet.org) so that on December 10 (Human Rights Day) as many people as possible will be made aware of the current situation in Tibet through the Solidarity with Tibet Campaign.

Term Deposits vs. Mutual Funds
How are term deposits different than mutual funds?
You've probably heard it's important to have a diversified investment portfolio, but how can you find the right balance between higher and lower risk investments? The key is to have a properly allocated investment plan and then stick with that plan, rather than chase returns.
Term deposits
In general, term deposits are low-risk investments offering a guaranteed return. They come in two forms, redeemable and non-redeemable. Redeemable means that you can access your cash if you need to after a certain date, usually at a lower interest rate. Non-redeemable usually carries a higher rate of return but you won't have access to your money for a determined period of time.
Both products are dependable low-risk savings vehicles.
Mutual Funds*
Mutual funds provide a variety of investment options with varying degrees of risk and potential return. For the average investor, mutual funds are a convenient and affordable way of gaining access to investments that would otherwise be available only to large institutions or the wealthy. These investments are selected by experienced professionals who devote themselves exclusively to tracking the markets, analyzing investments, and implementing a consistent investment strategy.
There are a variety of mutual fund categories, including Managed Portfolio (or Fund-of-Funds) Solutions. Each offers a range of funds suitable for every type of investor, from the most conservative to the most aggressive.
Since mutual funds qualify as securities and not deposits, they are neither guaranteed nor insured, which means the rate of return fluctuates over time and as a result are often a better longer term investment option.
Ultimately, the best advice is to go get some free advice to build a retirement savings plan customized to your unique situation. Call or visit your nearest Valley First branch and speak to an accredited advisor.

PETALING JAYA, Nov 21: Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd's (MRCB) net profit for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2015 (Q3) plunged almost 79.4% to RM5.64 million from RM27.39 million a year ago due to lower contribution from other operating income and higher tax expenses.
Other operating income in Q3 fell 64.68% to RM11.61 million from RM32.86 million a year ago while income tax expense was higher at RM18.75 million compared with RM9.30 million a year ago.
Revenue for the quarter fell 24.78% to RM374.06 million from RM497.26 million a year ago.
However, for the nine months ended Sept 30, 2015, net profit almost doubled to RM303.60 million from RM157.91 million a year ago while revenue rose 27.34% to RM1.31 billion from RM1.03 billion a year ago.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, the group said the strong performance for the nine months was due to the completion of the Q Sentral development and the sale of Platinum Sentral, as well as other on-going development projects in Kuala Lumpur, including the Sentral Residences and 9 Seputeh.
"The strong performance and value creation through monetisation and crystallisation of the group's assets, including the REITs (real estate investment trusts) platform, was the result of the transformation plan embarked by the group since the previous financial year," the group said in a separae announcement.
"The group's recent announcements on purchase of new landbank and winning several new construction contracts are in line with its growth strategy. The group will continue to focus on its property development activities and actively participate in tendering for more construction contracts to build its order book.
