Obama just posed for a photo in front of this Che Guevara mural
WWCGD — "What Would Che Guevara Say?"
That's the question that was on spectators' minds Monday, when President Barack Obama, during his historic two-day visit to Cuba, paused in Havana's Revolution Square for a photo before the huge mural of Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
What would Che make of all this? Huge mural of him looks down on President Obama in Revolution Square. #ObamaInCuba pic.twitter.com/D1ctrfmBrk
— Jon Williams (@WilliamsJon) March 21, 2016
The striking image evoked "a collective gasp" from some onlookers, tweeted Peter Orsi, an Associated Press reporter who was on the scene.

Andrea Rodíguez, the AP's Cuba correspondent, said the image would have been "unthinkable" a year ago:

And Univision's Miami affiliate took a cynical view, wondering whether the photo was a coincidence or Cuban propaganda:
Obama aparece frente a la imagen del Che. ¿Coincidencia o acción planificada por el gobierno cubano? #CubaVisit pic.twitter.com/RVBuhiWFEj
— Univision 23 Miami (@Univision23) March 21, 2016
Guevara, who opposed capitalism, played a key role in the Cuban Revolution from 1956 until 1959, fighting alongside Fidel Castro and holding several posts in Castro's regime until leaving Cuba in 1965.
Obama's visit is part of his plan, announced more than a year ago, to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba. He is the first sitting president to visit the country in almost 90 years.
In an interview with The Guardian last week, the late Guevara's eldest son said he was cautiously optimistic about Obama's visit.
"The U.S. is an empire," Camilo Guevara said. "Their nature is not to set the table and invite you for a feast. History shows us that every time they set a table, you have to accept you might be poisoned or stabbed in the back. But let's see."

Response to Kleiman
I never responded to Mark Kleiman's response to my response to his response to Stephen Bainbridge's comments on Cardinal Martino's comments on the capture of Saddam. Or something like that.
Anyway, here's Kleiman's substantive point:
Anyway, here's Kleiman's substantive point:
I agree with Lewis and Buck that "loving" your neighbor or your enemy doesn't mean "feeling fond of him or saying he is nice when his not." But surely it does mean, as Lewis says it does, "wishing his good." In no possible universe could being humliated [sic] on worldwide TV count as "good" for Saddam Hussein.I disagree. Being humiliated -- being taken down a notch -- might be the best thing for someone who was so self-absorbed and conceited that he covered his entire country with statues and posters of himself. Christ did say, after all, that "everyone who exalts himself will be humbled." (I'm sure Christ didn't contemplate that the humbling would occur at the hands of the United States Special Forces -- but they'll do in a pinch.)

Christ'ed Friendships
The "secret sauce" that holds Serra together
In most dioceses that have Serra clubs, Serrans are rightly and properly identified with the many vocations activities that they do for the Church with regular frequency. It's a given that most Serrans are known as "doers." One will find that typically Serrans are active on many fronts, mostly focused on vocations, while also supporting some other worthy and important parish or diocesan cause.
However, participation in activities that foster or affirm vocations is only part of the picture of a top Serra club. Equally important to a club's efforts to foster and support vocations to the priesthood and religious life (Serra objectives 1 and 2) are its efforts to support that important third objective: "to assist its members to recognize and respond in their own lives to God's call to holiness in Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit." It's my belief that the "secret sauce" of Serra is its internal spirituality programs, and its efforts to develop what I call "Christ'ed friendships," enduring friendships that place Christ at their center. It is this element of Serra which holds it all together and makes Serrans "Serrans for life."
So how does a local Serra club insure that it is working on this all-important objective of Serra while it is doing all the good work that it does in fostering and affirming religious vocations?
Let's start with your club meetings. Top clubs will plan more club programs which provide spiritual growth and faith development. This is what many call "inspiration." My observation is that many club meetings are strong on information but light on inspiration. A good club meeting is always a mix of both, but for long lasting Serran friendships, inspiration comes in the form of fully developed club programs that grow Serrans spiritually.
A rich resource for spiritual topics can be found on your recently updated www.SERRAUS.org website, with its many ready-to-use spiritual topics found under the tab "Programs and Club Meetings." All of the topics presented are complete, stand-alone programs and the subjects are timeless, dealing with the fundamental spirituality of Serrans. Some programs are 1) seasonal, providing a robust assortment of liturgical year programs, or 2) topical, so that possibly a series on one particular subject, such as Virtues, can be investigated and embraced in depth. Further, in keeping with long-standing but often forgotten Serra learning principles, these programs can and should more often be led by Serrans. Serran teaching Serrans: What better way to learn than to have to teach something?
Club member spirituality will also be enhanced greatly by annual days of reflection and pilgrimages. Days of reflection are common among top Serra clubs, providing a richer and deeper spiritual enrichment by a holy local spiritual director. These days of reflection become poorly attended when clubs adopt a "same thing, different year" attitude about them, however. Each year, energy must be given to the planning of these special day-long retreats. Think bigger. Think deeper. Think out of the box on your retreats. How about a visit to a holy shrine, a special location that may be only a few hours away, or a religious abbey, or a seminary, or something that requires a bit of a trip — a pilgrimage? Top clubs frequently organize trips to these shrines to feed their Serrans' appetite for the spiritual depth that satisfies. In addition, when taken as a pilgrimage, another good thing happens: Serrans meet new Serrans. It's a road trip, with all the camaraderie and fun that attends such a group gathering.
When improved member spirituality becomes an important club focus, it is then that your members will begin to realize that being a Serran is more about who they are, rather than what they do.
To be a Serran is one of the greatest gifts in the world – one that is treasured by those who find themselves called to serve this noble mission. And it is Christ'ed friendships that make the difference. With these friendships come a mutual understanding and spiritual maturity that makes Serra one of the great organizations in the world. And, it adds immense meaning to your personal profession: "I am a Serran."

On Aug. 31, in an effort to highlight what they say is the role undocumented workers had in building Trump Tower at 57th St. and Fifth Ave., eight protesters made entry impossible at the building's Fifth Ave. entrance. Four chained themselves together with a metal chain and padlocks in front of a double door, while two protesters positioned themselves inside each of the revolving doors on both sides.
The demonstration coincided with Trump's meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in Mexico on Wednesday, a surprise turn for the Republican candidate who's spent the entirety of his presidential bid ridiculing Mexico and its people. Of late, Trump has wavered on illegal immigration, going so far as to say that under his plan illegal immigrants will have to pay taxes. He did not, however, go so far as to advocate for amnesty.
Members of Movimiento Cosecha, however, remain unconvinced by Trump's meeting with President Nieto.
"The racist message is out there," said Thaís Marques, a 21-year-old student at Rutgers. "His supporters are not moving away from that."
Movimiento Cosecha is the latest group whose goal is to get protection for the 11 million undocumented people currently in the United States. Their efforts, however, are aimed at swaying public opinion rather than the top brass in Washington. Efforts by the Obama Administration have been too slow, members claim, and so they're looking to galvanize the public by showing them how much undocumented workers have done for the US.
Members of the movement have been involved in previous causes, though they've found a renewed sense of purpose in Cosecha.
"After DACA failed, I needed a change," said Maria Cabello, referring to the Supreme Court's failure to reverse the blockage of President Obama's November 2014 order to expand immigration relief.
In 2012, the administration had brought some immigration relief through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which provides protection to undocumented individuals who came to the US before they turned 16. But its expansion, and the addition of another program for parents of childhood arrivals that together would have provided relief to 5 million immigrants, were derailed in federal court.
Cabello was one of eight Cosecha members who positioned themselves outside of Trump Tower. Police stood guard as they and building officials tried to determine what to do with them.
A smattering of Trump supporters showed up to both campaign for their candidate and oppose Cosecha.
When Cosecha members switched to Spanish, one Trump supporter alternated between "Speak English!" and "Vote for Trump!" Another was unconvinced by Cosecha's key point that Trump hired undocumented workers to build his eponymous building on 5th Avenue.
"Of course that's bullshit," said Jim MacDonald as the protest wound down. "Are they really so naive that they think the people who pour the concrete are sneaking into the country?"
Throughout the protest, MacDonald alternated between holding signs that read "BUILD THE WALL" and "DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS." He chanted "Build the wall!" and "Vote for Trump!" as people walked by.
The protest came to an end when members of the NYPD's Strategic Response Unit arrived with handcuffs and electric saws. All eight demonstrators, some of whom were undocumented, were arrested.
Trump is Cosecha's biggest concern, and they plan to demonstrate through the general election. The organization does not actively endorse candidates, and they don't feel that an immigration reform bill will come with the the election of Hillary Clinton, though they will keep organizing until something changes.

Gaza Ceasefire: An Early Assessment By Richard Falk
25 November 2012 — Global Research
The Gaza Ceasefire, unlike a similar ceasefire achieved after Operation Cast Lead four years ago, is an event that has a likely significance far beyond ending the violence after eight days of murderous attacks. It is just possible that it will be looked back upon as a turning point in the long struggle between Israel and Palestine. Many have talked about 'the fog of war,' but it pales besides the 'the fog of truce making,' and in our media-infected air, the outcomes along with conjectures about the future are already being spun in all possible directions Continue reading

Should talks of intervention in Libya turn into action, it would be illegal, immoral and hypocritical By Richard Falk
13 March 2011 — Aljazeera
What is immediately striking about the bipartisan call in Washington for a no-fly zone and air strikes designed to help rebel forces in Libya is the absence of any concern with the relevance of international law or the authority of the United Nations.
None in authority take the trouble to construct some kind of legal rationalisation. The 'realists' in command, and echoed by the mainstream media, do not feel any need to provide even a legal fig leaf before embarking on aggressive warfare. Continue reading

Five Guys, PF Chang, California Pizza Kitchen ticketed by food police
The awards are conferred annually by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a Washington, DC-based nonprofit health advocacy group that focuses on nutrition, food safety, and pro-health alcohol policies. This year it singled out nine items from seven American chain restaurants.
"One might think that chains like Outback Steakhouse and The Cheesecake Factory might want to lighten up their meals now that calories will be required on their menus, courtesy of the health care reform law signed in March," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson in a statement. "But these chains don't promote moderation. They practice caloric extremism, and they're helping make modern-day Americans become the most obese people ever to walk the Earth."
Take, for example, The Cheesecake Factory Pasta Carbonara with Chicken, which, according to the company -- with four cups of white-flour pasta, smoked bacon, chicken, and Parmesan cream and butter sauce -- contains a belt-busting 2,500 calories and more saturated fat (85 grams) than an adult should consume in four days. To put these numbers in context, the FDA recommends the average American should consume about 2,000 calories per day, and no more than 20 grams of saturated fat.
Other Xtreme Eating top "dishonorees" for 2010 include:
Bob Evans' Cinnamon Cream Stacked & Stuffed Hotcakes: Bob stuffs his pancakes with cinnamon chips made of sugar and fat; adds a layer of cream- cheese-flavored filling; and tops them with sugary "cream" sauce, whipped topping, and powdered sugar, clocking in at in 1,380 calories and 34 grams of bad fat -- roughly the same as ingesting two country-fried steaks and four eggs.
California Pizza Kitchen Tostada Pizza with Grilled Steak: With 1,680 calories, 1½ day's worth (32 grams) of saturated fat, and more than two day's worth (3,300 mg) of sodium, ordering the single-serve pizza is like eating a Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizza topped with six Taco Bell Crunchy Beef Tacos.
Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger: One Bacon Cheeseburger without toppings contains 920 calories and a day-and-a-half's worth (30 grams) of saturated fat, compared to 410 calories for a McDonald's Quarter Pounder. A large order of French fries at Five Guys is laden with 1,460 calories, about three times a large order of fries at McDonald's.
P.F. Chang's Double Pan-Fried Noodles Combo: You could wolf down 10 egg rolls and still not surpass the 1,820 calories in this dish. And that's not counting the 7,690 milligrams of sodium per portion, about three teaspoons of salt -- a five-day supply.
The Cheesecake Factory Chocolate Tower Truffle Cake: This six-inch-long, three-quarter-pound slab of cake contains 1,670 calories and two-and-a-half days' worth (48 grams) of saturated fat. That's the equivalent of 14 Hostess Ho Hos.
"For all the industry's rhetoric about providing consumers with 'choice,' the choices at restaurants mostly range from bad to terrible," Jacobson said. "The healthy choices are largely afterthoughts and Xtreme Eating reigns supreme. If chain restaurants want to practice corporate responsibility, they should substitute fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for white flour, sugar, salt, and fat."

UnNews:Romanian skull suggests link between gay men and Neanderthals
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
16 January 2007
|UnNews Audio (file info)
|Listen to this story!
PESTERA CU OASE, ROMANIA - A 3,500-year-old skull found in a Romania cave shares features of both modern homosexual men and Neanderthals, which suggests that the two species may have interbred for centuries.
Until recently, scientists believed that Neanderthals were replaced by modern human beings. They believed that it was unlikely that the two groups of sub-humans intermixed, and the last traces of the Neanderthals vanished approximately 24,000 years ago. However, the discovery of the Pestera cu Oase skull has caused scientists to reconsider these theories, and many now conclude that the two groups did interbreed, Neanderthals giving rise, so to speak, not to human beings per se but to homosexual men.
Heterosexual men and women, by contrast, it is now believed, are derived from interbreeding between more advanced Cro-Magnons and early human beings. Therefore, homosexual males and the rest of humanity, including lesbians, are believed to be of entirely different species. "That's why homosexual men tend to be sterile," Myer Madison, an anthropologist at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. explains.
Erik Trinkaus of Washington University in St. Louis, MO, discusses the "missing link" between Neanderthals and homosexual men in a paper that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. The skull looks like the type that is characteristic of the facial structure that accompanies the male body type that gays refer to as belonging to "twinks" (short for Twinkies, the golden-brown, crème-filled snack cake). The bony ridge above the eyes is less pronounced, the cheekbones are higher, the eye sockets are larger and more nearly round, and, in general, the heft and density of the bone is more delicate that of most other male skulls. In addition, the oral cavity is larger, "suggesting a facility for fellatio," according to Trinkaus. In addition, traces of DNA from both Neanderthal and modern human beings was found inside the interior of the skull, which resulted, Trinkaus believes, from semen deposits.
The skull and the DNA were carbon dated and have been determined to be approximately 3,500 years old. "Homosexuals--or their prototypes--really have been with us from the beginning, and even from before the beginning, of recorded history," Trinkaus concludes.
Scientists are hopeful that they may find an entire skeleton in one of the caves. "A whole skeleton could tell us much more about homosexuals," Trinkaus explains. "For example, calcium deposits on their kneecaps would indicate that they spent a lot of time kneeling, either at prayer or in some other type of worship, and we could tell by the relative bone density and by stress fractures which of various sexual positions were most favored by them."
Scientists theorize that inbreeding among Neanderthals and gays led to genetic mutations that, over centuries, resulted in the peculiar, identifying characteristics of modern gays, such as lisps, limp wrists, an exaggerated swiveling of the hips, heightened erogenous zones, and a preference for non-reproductive sexual activities with same-sex partners.
"These are the signs of homosexuality," Trinkaus contends in his paper, "that gay men perceive, subconsciously, in their fellows, attributing these subconscious perceptions to an innate sensory apparatus that they call 'gay radar.' Such a radar, as it were, really seems to exist, albeit as a genetic ability resulting from centuries of inbreeding."
Gay groups are outraged by Trinkaus' conclusions. Peter E. Derr, a spokesman for the Gay Defamation League, said, "According to his so-called theories, which are really nothing more than homophobic lies, gay men are subhuman and of a different species altogether than straight men and women. As if that's not bad enough, they further insult the gay community by locating the cave in which they claim to have found this alleged skull in Romania, the land of gypsies, so they can contend that we're not only primitive subhumans by also vagabonds. It's outrageous!"
"It's science," Trinkaus disagreed.
Discussing the recent findings on The View, Rosie O'Donnell said, "I always knew gay men were of a different species from lesbians. We're from Venus, and they, apparently, are from Uranus."
Barbara Walters said, "That poor, pitiful subhuman species."
There was no comment from Donald Trump.

Written by Robin Miller, Producer of Soy Cubana
We are so excited about our amazing collaboration with Grand Performances in bringing the Vocal Vidas, an a cappella quartet from Santiago de Cuba to the United States for their first time. They are the subject of our award winning short documentary, Soy Cubana. It has been a long and crazy process making this happen, from getting their paperwork submitted, obtaining support from our Congressman, finding lodging, and most of all, securing their visas!
Believe it or not, we had them booked on a flight to LAX but did not know if they would make it due to the visa process. With less than 24 hours before their flight, they had their US Embassy interviews in Havana and got their visas! Truly a dream come true for them! So far in LA, they have moved audiences at Mambo's Cafe, Vibrato Grill and a surprise pick-up performance at LACMA during a Latin Jazz show last Saturday. And the BIG magical night will occur for them on August 11 at Grand Performances where they will be the opening act, followed by the fantastic Septeto Santiaguero! We are continuing to film the documentary Soy Cubana about their amazing journey. I invite you all to come see them and see why I have been captivated by this enchanting quartet.
Read more about the Vocal Vidas below:
Winners of the 2016 CUBADISCO Award for best vocal group, the Vocal Vidas are a female a cappella quartet from Santiago de Cuba – the cradle of Afro-Cuban music. Their infectious spirit, precise vocal harmonies, and a melting pot of references embody the sounds of Cuba. In April 2017, the Vocal Vidas launched their first album on the Egrem label in Cuba. They are elated to be making their first visit to the United States to perform in Los Angeles. In 2016, they were the subject of the award winning short documentary, Soy Cubana.
The Vocals Vidas have had extensive musical training in Cuba. In a country in which artistic training and support are available to those who have potential, where individuals with talent are able to achieve in their field, the Vidas are able to work as full-time musicians. The government provides housing, health care, and a monthly income. At the same time, difficulties of life in Cuba, from shortages of material goods to scarcity consistent internet and even electricity, inform their daily lives.
A very GRAND THANK YOU to the people who helped support getting the Vocal Vidas to Grand Performances' stage.

Having a tree-mendous time in the great outdoorsPosted on June 7, 2018
Lewis applied to ProjectScotland in February 2018. Lewis is working currently working two jobs: part time in his local Co-op and part time in his local chip shop. His dream is to work in the outdoors and so he applied to ProjectScotland in the hope he'd be able to gain experience and skills to make his dream a reality. He enjoys hard work, getting his hands dirty and working in the great outdoors.
Lewis is now volunteering at the Forestry Commission and is near to the end of his thirteen-week placement. He has learned to build eco-friendly paths around the forest, build fences, plant trees, manage the land and has learned skills in wildlife conservation.
Lewis has worked closely with a mentor to support him during his placement working on enhancing his CV and interview skills and looking at where he can find suitable jobs.
Lucy, Lewis's Line Manager, has been really impressed by Lewis: "His attitude and attendance is first class. His interpersonal skills with management and other volunteers is fantastic. Lewis has taken on every task without complaint and is a really hard working member of the team."
Talking about his placement, Lewis said: "I'm enjoying the placement and the manual outdoor work as much as I thought I would. I'm hoping that this placement will lead to a job in a similar field because I've enjoyed this so much. I've received lots of support from ProjectScotland and Mark [Youth Engagement Manager] has been a legend."
Mark, Youth Engagement Manager said: "From my first meeting with Lewis, his enthusiasm and desire to reach his goals really stood out. For a young lad to be working full time and still commit to volunteering his spare time to achieve his goals was very inspiring. I have no doubt that with Lewis' attitude that he will fulfil his ambitions and lead him to the job that he deserves."
Has Lewis's story inspired you? Apply to volunteer today and take your next step…

Blogger Steve Garfield happens to be a Boston area Comcast user, and he jumped on the opportunity to get the TiVo software – so quick that Comcast told him he was the first customer to have it installed! And, fortunately, and entertainingly, for us, he blogged the experience. It sounds like he had a little trouble getting it installed, partly due to a filter on his cable that was blocking the software download, but it all worked out in the end. And he confirms that existing recordings from the pre-TiVo software remain after the update. It is the early adopters like Steve who help smooth things out for those who follow.
If you got the TiVo software installed on your Comcast DVR, how was the experience?

May 30 (UPI) -- The federal decision by the Canadian government to take over the Trans Mountain expansion gets the project removed from provisional spats, analysts said.
After spending more than $850 million (USD) since it petitioned federal regulators for the project in 2013, pipeline company Kinder Morgan signaled in April that opposition to its plans to triple the design capacity for its Trans Mountain network to the western coast of Canada exposed its shareholders to undue risk.
On Tuesday, the federal government announced plans to purchase Kinder Morgan's pipeline and terminal assets for $3.5 billion, two days before the company was set to shelve the project.
"Our government believes that the commercial agreement we have reached with Kinder Morgan is the best way to protect thousands of good, well-paying jobs while delivering a solid return on investment for Canadians," Finance Minister Bill Morneau said in a statement. "This is an investment in Canada's future."
The government said the financial move ensures Trans Mountain construction can continue through the 2018 work season. The project, like the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Alberta through the United States, has been a source of contention for environmental advocates and leaders on both sides of the border.
When announcing it may pull the plug, Kinder Morgan added the opposition to Trans Mountain has led to increased provincial tensions.
"The move to acquire ownership helps to reduce the uncertainty over the future timing of pipelines and the future value of western Canadian crude oil which has weighed on investment decisions in western Canada," Kevin Birn, the director for regional energy projects at consultant group IHS Markit, told UPI.
In January, British Columbia Premier John Horgan considered new regulations on bitumen, a heavier type of oil found in Canada. Included among the proposals was a restriction on transportation until the government determined what would happen if there was a spill of the thicker type of oil.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said Horgan's administration has shown willingness only to stand in the way. Alberta later proposed legislation that would block exports of oil, natural gas or fuels to its neighbors in British Columbia.
A project delay or cancellation would've had U.S. complications as well because some of the 300 million barrels of oil per day traveling through the existing Trans Mountain network feeds refineries in Washington state.
Sandy Fielden, the director for oil and products research at Morningstar, told UPI the federal decision settles the provincial matter, but might have unintended consequences for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's administration.
"This transaction is a workaround to solve a political problem between the Federal and provincial governments in Canada," he said. "It sets a precedent for any other midstream company that runs into opposition to their pipeline to 'cry wolf' and get bailed out by the Canadian government."
Alberta's government estimated that pipeline projects like Trans Mountain could stimulate economic growth by as much as 2 percent by 2023. Horgan, for his part, suggested the fight wasn't over.
"Our government is determined to defend British Columbia's interests within the rule of law and in the courts," he said.

I'm working with someone on an app and I cloned their branch from our git repository. They added a NuGet Package called Xam.Plugin.Connectivity.
However, it's not recognizing this in our utils page. It just says that the type or namespace "Plugin" could not be found. I made sure to get the most up to date version and I made sure that I added it to the entire solution. It works for him, but we can't seem to figure out why it is not working for me.
Does anyone know why this is the case?
This is the plugin
You need to add the nuget just search Plugin.Connectivity
To be more specific, I just mean it says type or namespace not found

Bill Clinton's welfare reform
This is a depressing story on the consequences of the 90s-era reforms to the US national welfare program. Summary: we drastically reduced the rolls of welfare recipients by making it more difficult and humiliating to access benefits, not by empowering them to find gainful employment as a way out of poverty.

Set the spider as deeply in the jaws as you can. With the screws near the front of the nut, and the whole resulting spider located at the very back of the jaws, you can access most of the jaw for grinding. Then, if required, clearance the area where the spider supported. But for soft jaws that ledge often forms a valuable back stop for a part.
But if focused on maximizing the effectiveness of improving a bell mouth condition, that would be less than ideal. So coming up with some sort of outboard support would be needed.

Deconstructing Karma—and Debunking It
--Soror ZSD23
He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.
- George Orwell
Karma is a Sanskrit term that means "activity" or "work." It is derived from the word root kri: to do or to act. It originally referred to attending to religious observances (making offerings to the gods in the appropriate way) and being diligent about one's culturally defined responsibilities. In this way, it was somewhat conflated with ideas about destiny. It became a term applied to a somewhat scientific observation of cause and effect or action and reaction, and it also came to be used in relation to the idea of merit and demerit, sin and punishment, or punishment and vindication. Parallel ideas existed in the West, and we need to look no further than the Bible for corroboration in coming upon tales in which people mull over what unwitting grievance they or someone else –or some ancestor of theirs—had committed that was the root cause of their lousy luck. We find a treatment of this, in fact, in the Book of Job, in which the idea of "karma" as the modern world now bandies about, is debunked.
I sat through an interesting sermon/lecture about 2 weeks ago at the local Unitarian Universalist Congregation (Stamford, CT). The readings and sermon were delivered by a guest speaker, the Reverent Deb Morra who is affiliated with UU congregations in nearby White Plains, NY, and is a social worker and mental health professional and an activist for the underserved, disadvantaged, and groups challenged by discriminatory public policies. She spoke at length about the Book of Job, about "why bad things happen to good people," and about the pleasure/pain principle that we, as humans, struggle with and interpret. In conclusion, she reminded us that, in the grand scheme of things, pleasure is not a reward and pain is not a punishment. In life, people don't "get what they deserve"; they just get to be alive and live.
We find the idea of "karma" or the adage, "you reap what you sow," solacing, especially when we reflect on it in relation to people who have wronged us. (ie, they will "pay" for it—if not in this life, then in the next). The doctrine of karma, however, is more subtle and complex than this. It needs to be understood if one is to understand and make peace with oneself and have compassion for others.
I once found myself being strongly chided by a Buddhist lama because I questioned his teaching about karma. The lama's approach seemed to be a very simplistic, black and white. In his view, a person could expect to get back an exact reflection of whatever he or she did and was wholly responsible for whatever ills befell him or her. This caused some people in his sangha to be concerned and meticulously neurotic about their treatment of such things as insects lest obliterating one result in their own reincarnation and demise as a lowly bug. (Indeed, I find such attentiveness—and most pop-jabber on karma from any front—the height of narcissism and self-involvement.)
The lama did not like my argument about how that didn't make sense in the context of interdependent arising—or perhaps he didn't like my impudence. The next day, I went on a retreat at a Vedantist ashram. Serendipitously, the theme of retreat was the meaning of karma. In the first lecture of the day, the swami who was facilitating the retreat told us basically what I had told the lama the day before and what I am going to tell you here in this essay. It is also the gist of Job that Rev Morra eloquently related that Sunday morning a few weeks ago.
Life is full of ups and downs, gains and losses, and hurts and regrets. You know the adage: Shit happens. And what happens is often a matter of interpretation and perception. The Reverend paraphrased the American Buddhist monk Pema Chodron from the book When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times: If someone turns to you and says, "You're old," you might either be very proud (as, say a 5-year-old graduating kindergarten or a 98-year-old who is alive and kicking) or insulted (as, say, a 50-year-old woman, like myself).
Although we reap the consequences of our actions in one way or another (actions lead to reactions), it is presumptuous to make judgments about the quality and the root causes of those consequences. Sometimes things that seem "bad" only seem so because of our self-centered perspective. We judge everything by whether it is a pleasant or painful experience. If it is painful, we say it is "evil" and may draw the conclusion that it happened because we "deserved it." But if we subject ourselves to transformational processes and take refuge in the mystic energies of those processes, we can be sure to experience pain and upheaval. This is called catharsis. It is what is meant by being purified in the Spirit, and it is a natural consequence of processes related to ego dissolution in the interests of gnosis attained through spiritual practice.
When "bad things happen to 'good' people," the question should not be "why me?" especially in an age in which pressing a button on a remote control or gliding your finger across a pad on an electronic device gives you access to minute-by-minute, blow-by-blows about how really bad millions of other people in the world have it. Because the answer will always be, "Why not you?" And this is sort of what God ended up telling Job in the Biblical fable. "Shut up and take it like a man," is what he basically told the guy—as if Job had unwittingly been drafted into the Marine Corp, and this is indeed a metaphor for Life.
It is self-defeating to blame misfortune on something done in the past, particularly if we think that whatever was done occurred in a speculative previous existence. Other persons (such as family members, friends, and others populating our environment) have a strong effect on how we behave and the choices we make such that we cannot be solely at fault for our choices. We are often led into them by the nose like stupid animals who don't know any better. Indeed, our very selves in the form of ego-personalities are, in part, the epitome and the consequential effect of the persons who surround and influence us, who are themselves the hapless consequences of other hapless influences.
In light of this, the point of life is to become more aware and compassionate, and we often can only do this by making mistakes, having regrets, and going through trials.
In the Book of Job, Job asks a bunch of wise friends and God why bad things happened to him despite that he did all the right things to stay in favor with the Divine. The friends tell him to search his soul because he must've f--ked up somewhere along the way and is getting what he deserved. God, on the other hand, tells Job that God, being who/what he is, can do anything he God-damn pleases arbitrarily and with impunity, and who are puny humans to question him about it. His reasons are mysterious. "Resistance is futile," and "cleanse your bottoms; it's going to be bumpy ride." In this, Job is left with feeling guilt and remorse—not for unknown actions that may have led to current misfortune—but for second-guessing God and presupposing what life is really supposed to be about.
But is God a meany then and is life that precarious and grueling? These questions and the Biblical fable of Job cause me to make the leap to two other Biblical passages. I am impelled to read them in a way I've never done before. It takes me out of the realm of glossy sentimentality and into an "ah-hah" experience about the nature of God, self, and the circumstance of being alive. Indeed, it is as if all the pious and pretty jargon written around the lines I will cite are blinds like the flowery piety that fills heretical steganographic Medieval magical grimoire. That is, there is something more, something quite deeper to extract and integrate from the prose.
The Biblical passages are the First Letter of John 4:16 and Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 13.7. In John 4:16, we are told that "God is love, and he who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in him." Note that it does not say that God is an old man in the sky; it says that God is love and that we can live "in" it and it in us. For people who have any sense of religious philosophy or history or of how to put things in context, they would know that when 1st century CE people talk about Love or Beauty or Order in a philosophical way, they are talking about what God is—Cosmos—Life with a capital L—Manifest Reality. (Uh . . . "qualified nondualism," "panentheism.") In Corinthians 13.7, we are told that "[Love] is always ready to forgive, trust, and endure whatever comes."
Now we are seeing a dim reflection in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. The knowledge I have now is imperfect; then I will know as fully as I am known. --I Corinthians 13:12.
Think about it.

U.S. Sees Russian Drive Against CIA-Backed Rebels in Syria
White House noncommittal about coming to aid of its allies
Russia has targeted Syrian rebel groups backed by the Central Intelligence Agency in a string of airstrikes running for days, leading the U.S. to conclude that it is an intentional effort by Moscow, American officials said.
The assessment, which is shared by commanders on the ground, has deepened U.S. anger at Moscow and sparked a debate within the administration over how the U.S. can come to the aid of its proxy forces without getting sucked deeper into a proxy war that President Barack Obama says he doesn't want.

Pro Mach, Inc.
Dealmakers for Every Acquisition Strategy
Problem: Private equity platform company Pro Mach, Inc. has a mandate to grow through acquisitions of other companies involved in manufacturing, supplying and servicing automated consumer packaging equipment. The acquisitions may be made in the United States, Canada and overseas. Pro Mach's strategy involves acquiring companies with sales revenue generally between $10 million and $50 million. Costs are a concern given the size of the deals, but transactions in that range often involve legal and technical issues every bit as complex and challenging as much larger ones.
Solution: We work closely with Pro Mach to deliver closed deals on time and on budget by using a variety of Thompson Hine techniques, including:
- Assembling a dedicated team of professionals who know the company's business
- Spending the time needed to understand Pro Mach's business and strategy so that we can focus on business-critical issues in due diligence and negotiations
- Maintaining strong working relationships with company personnel
- Cultivating solid relationships with third-party transaction advisers, such as tax consultants, forensic accountants and environmental engineers
- Working closely with foreign counsel to control costs on cross-border transactions
- Using standardized transaction structures and documentation
Our approach allows us to help Pro Mach implement its core acquisition strategy, delivering projects on time and cost effectively, and enhancing shareholder value, completing 16 transactions in the past seven years.

Connecticut water bodies being stocked with trout for fishing
HARTFORD -- Hundreds of thousands of trout are being loaded onto trucks to stock Connecticut lakes, ponds and rivers ahead of the start of fishing season.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection expects to have more than 378,000 trout stocked throughout the state in time for opening day on April 20.
The trout will be delivered in more than 200 truckloads to be released into 102 lakes and ponds and 200 rivers and streams.
DEEP's Inland Fisheries Division typically begins the trout stocking in late February or early March. Division director Pete Aarrestad says winter storms delayed the schedule a bit this year.

The conditions one would think would dictate how the game would be played but both teams had different ideas. Menlo park started off promisingly as they came out looking to prove a point, In the early stages as they held Glenwood deep in their own half for the first 10 minutes adopting the tactic of picking and going with their forwards for two or three phases then looking to spread the ball wide and catch the Glenwood defence unaware, Glenwood's defence held resolute as it has for most of the season so far.
It was a Menlopark handling error that gave Glenwood the opportunity to clear lines and so they did with Fly half Dylan Pretorius that hacked a kick away down field, a strong chase by Glenwood Captain Dylan Kruger put Menlo park on the back foot with a lineout five meters from their own try line. It was that man Flanker Dylan Kruger who found his way over the try line thanks to an overthrow by Menlo gifting Glenwood the first points of the game, Morne van Rensburg was unable to convert, Glenwood lead 5-0. Glenwood began to look more confident with more ball in hand as they stringed a few phases together, a set backline move from Glenwood allowed Van Rensburg to find a half gap and the offload was given to full back Siyanda Cele who dotted down in the corner, the conversion was successful by Van Rensburg, a 12-0 lead to Glenwood. Late in the half Glenwood's discipline lacked as Lock forward JJ van der Mescht was yellow carded for hands in the ruck close to his try line. That is how the half ended 12 points to 0 in favour of Glenwood.
The second half began just how Glenwood would have wanted with a try to winger Morne van Rensburg in the first 30 seconds of the half as a kick down field by Dylan Pretorius spotting there was no one covering at the back for Menlo allowed a strong chase and finish by Van Rensburg, he converted his own try. 19-0 to Glenwood.
A set move by Glenwood from the base of a scrum 10 meters from the Menlopark line allowed for Siyanda Cele to bag his brace as he went over just next to the uprights, Van Rensburg wasn't able to convert in horrible conditions. 24-0 to Glenwood. A handling error by Menlo park at the base of their scrum allowed Pretorius to flick a pass away to Le Fleur who handed the pass off to Janus Hendrikz who went over for his 12th of the season, the conversion was missed by Van Rensburg, 29-0 to Glenwood. Glenwood started to turn up the heat as the rain began to come down once again, they spread the ball wide through the hands in conditions that shouldn't have allowed for it as Rynardt Jonker linked up with his centre pairing as Jonker put a little grubber through for Conan Le Fleur to chase, try time as Le Fleur gathered the ball and slide over the whitewash.
A change of kicker was thought to bring a change of fortune but unfortunately Jaden Hendrikse could not convert for Glenwood. The final try and points of the game were scored by the Green Machine as inside centre Rynardt Jonker went over in the corner next to the Glenwood group of supporters, Hendrikse was unable to convert. That is how the game ended for both teams with Glenwood showing to much skill and physicality for Menlo park in the wet conditions in Durban. The final score 39-0 to the Green Machine.
Tries: Dylan Kruger; Siyanda Cele (2); Morne Van Rensburg; Janus Hendrikz; Conan Le Fleur; Rynardt Jonker.
Conversions: Morne Van Rensburg (1/5) Hendrikse (0/2)

Merck's popular new hormonal contraceptive Implanon (etonogestrel) has been reported to have the ability to migrate from the site of implant, and in some rare cases, go missing altogether. Literature provided by Merck in the patient handout cites "problems of insertion and removal," with Implanon, and that "removal of the implant may be very difficult or impossible because the implant is not where it should be." In addition to being linked to device migration, Implanon has also recently been associated with life-threatening blood clot clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other serious side effects.
What's the problem?
Implanon and other embedded birth control products are among the latest contraceptives to hit the U.S. market. Depending on the user's preference, the tiny devices can be inserted into the uterus, or even lodged under the skin of the forearm. Get it and forget it, or so the slogan goes.
Forget it or not, more and more Implanon users have reported serious problems with their under-the-skin contraceptive implants. According to a recent article published in the U.K. Daily Mail, a growing number of British women say they fear infertility after their Implanon device mysteriously 'got lost.'
Dr. Alan Penzias, director of the fellowship program in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Boston IVF, said, "The most likely cause in cases where it was inserted correctly is migration within the deep fatty tissue of the upper arm."
Although Implanon is still considered to be relatively safe even if the device gets lost, the user may potentially lose her ability to conceive until it is either located or the hormone runs out, which can take as long as a few years.
Late last year, Toni of Boston, Mass., had an appointment to have her Implanon removed, but when the doctor attempted to retrieve it, the device was nowhere to be found.
"I had to go for an ultrasound so they could make sure it was in the right place," said Toni, 29, who requested that her last name not be used. "I was a bit nervous that it had somehow dislodged and was floating around."
Luckily, the ultrasound determined that Toni's Implanon was still in the correct spot, but her doctor was still unable to remove it because he couldn't find the string to pull the device out. She ultimately had to undergo surgery to have the implant removed.
"I will never get another one," she said. "I'm too scared."

Two Religions are notorious for religious Conversion.
Their belief is that greater the number followers, greater the Religion!
Christianity started it, Islam took it up.
While Christians entice people to become Christians Islam uses the Sword.
When the interests of these two religions clash, the result is Chaos.
The Middle East witnessed it during the Crusades.
Now this is being witnessed in the world, with Al Qaeda targeting the Christians.
Christian nations are reacting.
Unfortunately , others who are not concerned with this affair.
Islam seems determined to overtake Christianity in Population.
With their Religion asking them to increase population, Islam will overtake Christianity.
Whether it is going to be fundamental Islam or moderate Islam(which I doubt), one has to wait.
Here is a report.
"The number of Muslims in Europe has grown from 29.6 million in 1990 to 44.1 million in 2010.34 Europe's Muslim population is projected to exceed 58 million by 2030. Muslims today account for about 6% of Europe's total population, up from 4.1% in 1990. By 2030, Muslims are expected to make up 8% of Europe's population. Although Europe's Muslim population is growing, Europe's share of the global Muslim population will remain quite small. Less than 3% of the world's Muslims are expected to be living in Europe in 2030, about the same portion as in 2010 (2.7%)."
"Islam religion and hence Muslim population began around 640 AD and now there are 1,300,000,000 Muslims in this world. This is a historical growth rate of 1.51% per year. The world population now is 6,137,000,000 and the current growth rate of the world population is 1.30% per year (Source: PRB 2001 World Population Data Sheet). At these growth rates, mathematically, it will take 410 years for Muslim population to be 50% of the world population.

The United States and North Korea are struggling to bridge differences over how to dismantle Pyongyang's nuclear programmes, as a fourth day of six-party talks opened with little sign of a deal.
With the six nations at the talks meeting on Friday, the fourth day of the current round of talks, the crux of the disagreement is over timing: whether Pyongyang should receive security guarantees and aid before it moves to scrap its weapons programmes, as it insists, or if it should move first, as Washington wants.
"It's not a matter of who goes first; it's a matter of a strategic commitment that the goal of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula is embraced by all," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in her first comments on the current round of negotiations.
"We know that the South Koreans, the Japanese, the Russians, the United States and China all agree that it has to be a non-nuclear Korean peninsula. The question is do the North Koreans embrace that goal as well?," Rice asked in Washington.
The North has also demanded Washington remove nuclear weapons from the peninsula. The US, which keeps more than 30,000 troops in South Korea, says it no longer has such weapons there.
Familiar territory
The negotiations, which resumed this week after a 13-month hiatus, have seen the parties retreat to familiar territory, with North Korea demanding aid and security guarantees before scrapping its nuclear programmes and the US insisting it scuttle those programmes first.
"Although the United States and North Korea have had in-depth discussions, my understanding is that they have not narrowed their differences to the extent that they can claim progress," a Japanese delegate said.
"It's far too early to say if it's a breakthrough or a breakdown"
Qin Gan,
Still, the pattern of unusually frequent and lengthy one-on-one exchanges on the sidelines of the talks – Thursday's lasted three hours – signals a shift in the US approach and has raised hopes for a positive outcome.
Chinese delegation spokesman Qin Gan said on Thursday that talks were moving in the right direction but added: "It's far too early to say if it's a breakthrough or a breakdown."
Bilateral meetings
No end date has been set for the talks. The parties were holding bilateral meetings on Friday morning and all six – both Koreas, the United States, Japan, Russia and host China – were set to meet in the afternoon.
The nuclear standoff erupted in October 2002 when US officials accused Pyongyang of pursuing a clandestine weapons programme, prompting it to expel UN nuclear inspectors.
In February, North Korea announced that it had nuclear weapons and demanded Washington provide aid, security guarantees and diplomatic recognition in return for scrapping them.

Sponsor Chewie
Fun Fact: Chewie loves to get into your personal space!
Chewie was not meant to come to Hopefield, he was supposed to be sold because he was 'pretty'. The sanctuary received a call about a lady who had gone on holiday and left her 3 alpacas with a friend. When she came back the alpacas had mange and were severely underweight. She agreed to give us two of the alpacas. When his friends arrived we pulled down the trailer to see that Chewie was with them! She had changed her mind and given us him too, were so happy to be able to give them the home and care they need. Chewie is such a happy alpaca and loves being with all the others. He loves grated carrot and sugar beet!< Previous Next >

The Perfect Piece: Black Beaded Blouse
Happy Sunday my classy followers! I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend in style and I hope you are all ready for this week's Perfect Piece segment. The garment that I will be styling three unique looks around is this black beaded blouse (try saying that 5 times fast!) from Ross Dress For Less by the brand Passport. What I love the most about this top is the 20's vibe given off by the beading and flirty sleeves. It was only $9.99, but it remains to be very versatile and innovative. While it is sheer, I have found many ways to wear it fashionably, yet still classy. This week I will be showing you all how, so keep visiting back and be sure to check out the first outfit tomorrow. Also, follow me on social media to check out exclusive content and even more fashion inspiration!
Stay Classy!
