The Oxford Union ironically claims to champion free speech by declaring itself as the "Last Bastion of Free speech", whilst actively using its reputed platform to spread and support selective propaganda and gagging of indigenous voices. – Rashmi Samant
Discriminations against Indians, especially Hindus, is nothing new in the UK. Signs of "No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish", were a common sight a few decades ago, but thanks to the work of anti-racist campaigners, racism has decreased in English society. Yet, discrimination against those from the "Orient" still lingers on in certain institutions and is augmented by a hierarchy of racism. In this hierarchy, Islamist scholars and activists are often free to propagate their worldview but Hindus are not. Worse still, if global Indians or Hindus speak about discrimination, they are gaslit, ostracised, and delegitimised.
If we take the University of Oxford as a microcosm of the British establishment and its propagation of the hierarchy of racism, it is evident how any Indian or Hindu voice that disagrees with the neo-imperial "woke" worldview is disproportionately shut down. The latest drama in this saga involved the Oxford Union that yielded to pressure from the anti-indigenous neo-colonial lobby to sideline a discussion about the well documented ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir. The same Oxford Union allows figures such as Steve Bannon and the Islamist Medhi Hassan to speak freely.
Only recently, acclaimed filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri was publicly de-platformed at the very last minute from speaking at the Oxford Union despite the event being confirmed well in advance. The typical red tape of "We are sorry, we had a problem with the double-booking of the venue" was used to mask what has increasingly become a worrisome threat to free speech. The Union ironically claims to champion free speech by declaring itself as the "Last Bastion of Free speech", whilst actively using its reputed platform to spread and support selective propaganda to the tune of gagging indigenous voices.
The filmmaker was on "The Humanity" tour which has been the central theme of his film, The Kashmir Files. The film portrays the history, plight and persecution of the indigenous people of the Kashmir Valley in the Indian subcontinent, the Kashmiri Pandits. The community is experiencing genocide at the hands of radical Islamist elements in the Valley that are funded and supported by the Pakistani regime and other non-state actors that qualify to be categorised as full-fledged terrorist outfits. They practice a policy of "Convert, Flee or Die" towards the indigenous Kashmiri Pandits and so far it has been successful in drastically altering the demography of the Valley from a former Hindu majority region to a Muslim majority region.
The atrocities have continued with impunity, including a targeted killing of a Hindu Kashmiri Pandit teacher on the same day that the Oxford Union chose to humiliatingly de-platform and disenfranchise one of the leading voices for the Kashmiri Pandit at their reputed debate platform. In the past, the Union has repeatedly platformed terror sympathisers and the one-sided narrative that justified the Kashmiri Pandit genocide and completely whitewashed their plight for decades. The actions of the Union and their hierarchical racism are criminal as it makes them party to the efforts of muffling one of the most gruesome human rights violations known to mankind.
I can personally testify and attest to the inherent bias, colonisation and hierarchical racism practised institutionally at Oxford as a lifetime member of the Oxford Union, a graduate of the Oxford University and the first Indian woman to be elected to the office of the president of the Oxford University Students' Union in February 2021. I was harassed, bullied, vilified, demonised and hounded out of the office and berated for my indigenous faith and upbringing by the same vile elements of the university which are today cancelling the voice of the Kashmiri Pandits. I had to fight tooth and nail for six months to get some semblance of normalcy back in my life and such incidents only remind me of my fight against the deep-rooted institutional bias. The only tragedy is that these elements have successfully weaponised tenets of social justice and racial equality to act as gatekeepers of the mainstream narratives whilst in reality, they are re-inventing the same wheel of discrimination that the establishment has been historically notorious for.
However, Oxford, like other British institutions, has a few voices fighting for the truth and the rights of the indigenous Indians. Yet, even if they are successful within the university, they are shut down by far-Left-racists in other domains. For example, a group at the university researched Hinduphobia and discrimination against Indians in the UK and for daring the research they were mobbed by a group of Khalistani and Stalinist racists. The anti-Semitic and Hinduphobic columnist Amrit Wilson, then, wrote a racist diatribe against Indian groups and made death threats to young anti-racism scholars. Worst still, the editors of Byline Times, the publishers of Amrit's diatribe, knew about the racism and death threats and still published her racist diatribe anyway!
Identity comes at the cost of bias, cancellation, harassment, death threats and violent persecution of those at the bottom of the racial hierarchy of the current world order. Period. – Firstpost, 2 June 2022

Switching Channels for a better CX
3 min read
The other day, I was going on my computer and had to go through a process to verify my identity and needed to upload a picture of my driver's license. The first thing I did was groan a little 😂.
This sounds like a pretty simple task but the workflow that I ended up doing was actually a little cumbersome. I didn't have a picture of my driver's license on my desktop, so I had two options here.
Turn on my webcam and try to take a picture of it by holding my license up to the camera and then cropping the image properly. Take a picture of it on my phone, email it to myself, then download the image.
I wasn't really pleased with this experience, so I decided to see if I could build out a better experience in Airkit.
I wanted to create a seamless experience for the end user by using Airkit's ability to preserve session state across the different channels. The experience starts off with a web form that has an entry for their phone number, which will be used to send off an SMS. This SMS message contains a link to a second app that is tied to the first app through an API and passing the session_id to the second app. The second app, which is interacted with via your mobile device, provides you a way to upload or take a picture with your phone, and then it uploads it to the first app through an App API.
This build showcases how you can tie two applications together and be able to keep the context of one app, while having a simultaneous session that is designed for another task. Another way that I could have built this (which is an easier build actually) is to only use one Airkit application and have the web form send you a link to continue the journey through the mobile device. This way, all you would have to do is have a button on the initial journey that says "Continue on your mobile device" and it will send you a text message with a link to your session to continue with.
Building out the experience that switches to the optimal channel for the customer
I wanted to show this setup so everyone can see how easy it really is. Here's a video of me walking through building this experience.
In the build, the first application looks something like this:
This is representing the desktop application or form that someone would go through. This form simply captures a user's phone number, but you can imagine this page is a form with other fields on it that you would capture to verify someone's identity.
On the submit button, this would then send an SMS message to the number that you enter in with a link to a new airkit journey. Here this is triggered via an App API and I send the session_id of the first app to the second app.
From here, the link that gets sent routes me to my second journey that provides me a way to upload a picture. This is a lot more seamless than having to try to take a picture of something on my webcam.
From here, I'll click on submit, and it will show the picture that I uploaded in the original session that I have on my desktop. Hitting submit will automatically take me from my "waiting" screen to a success screen. I do this by using the passed session_id and use it to run an event on an App API.

When you know you can go to your backyard to spend some time in natural surroundings, you will be alarmed about having to spend some time outside of your house. It is important for you to think of ways to make the backyard a place where you enjoy spending time in. When you do this, you will be able to use the space in all seasons. No matter what you decide, you can never go wrong with having a patio in the environment. A patio is one of the best places for you to entertain your guests which is why you cannot take it for granted. For people who rarely get guests to their houses, this may be something new but you cannot bury your head in the sand if you are always having parties. Your guests will enjoy a spacious place where they can also get a jolt of fresh air when needed. You can hold various events in your patio. When it comes to cleaning up after the party, it will not take you a lot of time. When it comes to cleaning after a party, a lot of the party goers will not take part in this which is why you have to do your best to lessen the load so that you will be in a position to handle this all on your own.
With a patio, you will find yourself heading to the backyard a lot. It will be a great thing for your health to spend time outdoors. Even in situations when there are low temperatures, it will not be an issue for you to go outside and relax when the patio is comfortable. For extra baths when you want total relaxation, you can add a hot tub here and or just include heating and you will be looking forward to the time you will spend here. This can serve the purpose of the living room during the hot season as the place where your family gathers or even in any kind of weather. You will not have a problem convincing everyone to come outdoor when the environment is comfortable. You can also use the patio to make a design statement in your property. You can anything you want as far as the shape of your patio is concerned, the size and even the design. You are guaranteed a unique space if you do this.
If you want to have an highlight for your landscaping project, you can make use of your patio to bring the statement you want. If you do not want everyone getting an idea of what is going on in your home, you want to choose carefully where your patio will go. The mere addition of a patio in your property can bring accessibility to several places.

Tony Robbins has never been my self-help guy. I admire a lot of people who follow him — including Serena Williams, who has been listening to his tapes since childhood — but I find it all a little cheesy in a specific, bro-y, CrossFit-y sort of way. I've never been able to get past the infomercials and the Shallow Hal cameo; Robbins has always seemed like some '90s DJ Khaled prototype, designed to improve the Fortune 500 corporations that employ him. He also really seems to like Jock Jams pump-up songs more than I am comfortable with.
The new Netflix documentary Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru is another paean to the high-energy, slightly aggro Robbins experience — though I'll admit that it is slightly more convincing than Shallow Hal. Brother's Keeper director Joe Berlinger apparently went through some sort of road to Damascus moment at a party and accepted Robbins as his life coach; the resulting film is his gospel. Meaning: It's a lazily positive concert experience designed to fully immerse the viewer in the crown jewel of Robbins's seminars, Date With Destiny, a $3,500, 12-hour-a-day, six-day, live seminar that is sort of like the Never Say Never of the motivational speaking world.
What do we learn from our front-row seat to the Tony Robbins Experience? That no matter how painful or dark things get, Victory is Near! And that while you might think you're a skeptic, it's incredibly hard not to tear up during a Tony Robbins speech. We also get to witness several interventions, which are the heart of the Date With Destiny. My favorite intervention is with Holi, a 40-something woman who has been disappointed by all men, except for her father. No man can ever live up to how her father treated her, she says. "Fuck your father," Robbins replies. Within mere minutes, he's explained that Holi creates unrealistic romantic expectations and persuaded her to dump her boyfriend on speakerphone in front of the whole audience.
It's extreme. It's very Tony — and I suppose the segment does demonstrate that on some level We Are All Holi and can learn from her. But again, the platitudes and the overt masculinity are all just alienating enough to keep me from fully embracing his methods. So I've found something that's even more effective than watching Holi get her ass handed to her: YouTube videos of the Tony Robbins Fire Walk Experience.
The Fire Walk Experience is a cornerstone of Unleash the Power Within, Robbins's other, shorter, more popular live seminar. Robbins and Berlinger chose not to feature it in this particular documentary because Date With Destiny "is a more emotional journey." (Though, from what I gather, Unleash the Power Within is mostly reserved for corporate seminars — meaning paying customers.) I've watched about a boatload of these videos, and let me tell you: They are infinitely more inspiring than the conference room–centric, feelings share circle that is Date With Destiny. Why? Three words: the fire walk, which takes place on the last night and requires that people walk barefoot across a length of hot burning coals that can get up to 2,000 degrees. There are people chanting YES, YES, YES, YES in rhythm to a drum beat; there are primal instincts that people must overcome; there is the inevitable freak-out face as each person makes it across the coals and realizes they can do whatever other insane, elusive dream they've been clinging to — start a business, achieve emotional intimacy, lose the weight, whatever. Holi's revelation is pretty moving, but what's even more moving is watching man learn to live from literally walking on fire.
"It's really just a frickin' metaphor," said Robbins when I met him briefly at the Four Seasons hotel in New York City to talk about the fire walk. (I had to wait an hour for him to finish fixing another journalist's life. The other journalist seemed happy.) "The hardest part of anything is the first step. The hardest part of working out is just getting to the gym, the hardest part of the relationship is initiating, so the hardest part of the fire walk is the first step — you take that first step, you're gonna take the second and third. I used to use skydiving but it's hard to get 7,000 people above New York." Apparently it is easier to get them over a bed of hot coals.
There are a lot of theories as to why humans can walk across burning objects and not die. Some early Christians believed people who successfully cross the coals were aided by Satan. (Some still do.) There's a slightly more scientific water vapor theory that says the moisture on the soles of the feet creates a barrier from the heat — like licking your finger and touching a hot curling iron. Robbins's theory, that you can do anything so long as you crush the little dissenting voice in your head, is one he learned from Tolly Burkan, the man who brought the fire walk motivational seminar to the American mainstream in 1977 — and the one who taught Robbins how to fire-walk in a seminar in 1983. "All I did was mirror [Burkan]," says Robbins of his first fire walk. "And then I picked up coals in my hand … and threw them across the yard."
Burkan believes if you're in the right mind-set, you will not burn. When your mind is willing, he says, there's a physiological response, and your body knows what to do to protect itself from heat — like how your body knows to sweat when you get nervous. But those physical mechanisms only kick in if you trust in the fire. It's all outlined in a two-hour program, a Robbins prototype called Attain Any Goal — you can watch it on YouTube now:
Let's be very clear: yes, people have been burned. I've gone down the FIRE WALK FAIL rabbit hole, and I've seen people trip and fall face-first into hot coals. Burkan tells me that burning is "incredibly rare," though just last month, about 30 participants were burned at an event in Dallas. (Five were taken to the hospital). And it has happened before, such as in 2012 at an event in San Jose where nearly two-dozen people were treated for second- and third-degree burns.
But people keep doing it. Here is a video of The Today Show's Jeff Rossen fire-walking live on air just days after the Dallas incident without so much as a sweat bead. Here is a video testimonial from Maria Menounos explaining how it helped her become the "master of her own destiny." A 1992 New York Times article claimed that then-Knicks coach Pat Riley had studied the fire walk. That image you have of hundreds of corporate employees with ties on their heads, trousers rolled up to their knees, or pantyhose laid to the side, isn't wrong — Fortune 500 companies swear by it. Geraldo Rivera has done it. Supposedly Bill Clinton has done it. Diane Sawyer has done it (though she requested an extra-short coal path):
The Mythbusters tried to myth-bust it and instead just ending up doing it:
And in a guru-meets-guru supernova, Oprah's done it on her OWN show Oprah's Next Chapter, which was the single greatest, most inspiring moment ever televised and then put on YouTube.
I've watched this Oprah video maybe 12 times … this week. She did this fire walk in 2012, about six months after the final episode of her talk show aired on May 25, 2011; she'd started OWN, which was struggling in the ratings. It was the time of her greatest failure, and I can't help thinking that she felt a little bit lost. Oprah, feeling lost — if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone, you know?
OK, now start the video at 2:20. Tony lays out fresh coals for her. She looks so scared! But then he says, "I want you to know there's nothing to fear." (Then he reminds her the worst possible outcome is that she could burn her feet and die, which seems unhelpful? But liability, I guess.) He tells her to make her move, and say Yes! And then she starts yelling YAS. YAS. YAAAS in that "You get a car! And you get a car!" voice. Something primal takes over — you can see it in in her eyes. She just goes for it, roaring like an animal as she sprints across the embers.
I love it. I don't know how it happened, but I went from watching this video over and over again for entertainment, to somehow finding it, and Tony, incredibly inspiring. Oprah is self-help and she can still need this experience. It makes me feel better about needing something myself.
One recent Sunday morning, on the last day of a debauched group trip to a lakeside cabin, I found myself locked in the most intense conversation with a platinum-haired, Israeli Burner who loved to day rave. We were the only two people awake — hungover, and in the early stages of the Sunday self-loathing — so the conversation quickly turned to the need for self-improvement. "I went to a Tony Robbins seminar in New Jersey and walked across hot coals. It changed my life," she said.
She described the experience, and it was even more vivid than my YouTube videos. Nightfall, midwinter, a light snowfall. She was bused to a parking lot somewhere near the conference center in New Jersey. She could smell the burning embers before she saw them — 22 lines of glowing coals. There were thousands of people lined up, but when she got to the front of her line, she was still terrified. She hesitated. She didn't know if she could do it. Suddenly someone took her hand, and said in a familiar booming baritone "Are you ready?" It was Tony Robbins, she whispered, still in awe. She nodded to him, took off across the coals, burned her foot, lost 30 pounds, and started her own business all in the next year. Oh, and they were given little cups of tea.
She asked me if I ever thought I'd do it, and I said probably not. At this point in my YouTube research, I continue to think fire walking is insane — not as insane as rewilding or ayahuasca trips, but fairly unhinged. I also think Tony Robbins is too much and that I don't need to spend thousands of dollars to experience his magic. But ultimately, I see how both of these things are effective. What the fire (and Robbins and my Burner friend and Holi) teaches me is that change can be fast. It doesn't always require months or years of therapy or being unhappy. Sometimes it only takes seconds running across some coals like a crazy person. All you need is one action, one step, one burned ("blistered") foot that teaches you "Fuck. Yes. I can do this."
But the best lesson I've learned from all this is that I don't have to walk across those coals. Just like some people will be motivated in some small way by watching I Am Not Your Guru, I got everything I need to know about motivation from watching Oprah psych herself up, launch herself across those coals, and then freak out because she can do anything. Watch that video, and I swear you can too.

'Keep moving forward,' Pope exhorts church at Mass for new saint
WASHINGTON — Celebrating his first Mass in the United States on Wednesday, Pope Francis used the lesson of the newly canonized 18th century saint Junipero Serra to exhort the church to be bold missionaries in the modern world.
Francis elevated St. Serra, a Spanish Franciscan missionary who established schools for American Indians along the California coast, to sainthood in an outdoor Mass attended by 25,000 faithful and celebrated with so many cardinals, bishops and priests that fourteen sections were set aside just for them.
The Mass, said in the pope's native Spanish language, put the full pageantry of the Catholic liturgy on display, combining the traditional High Mass with some distinctly multicultural American flavor. A reading from Isaiah was in the Native American Chochenyo language, a reading from Philippians was in English, and the prayers of the faithful were read in Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Igbo, Creole and American Sign Language. Much of the music was arranged by contemporary American composers.
In his homily, Francis asked the faithful not to let their hearts become numb to the world.
"The spirit of the world tells us to be like everyone else, to settle for what comes easy," Francis said. Quoting his own encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si, he continued, "We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and for the world."
St. Serra, Francis says, is the embodiment of "a Church which goes forth."
"Father Serra had a motto which inspired his life and work, a saying he lived his life by: Siempre adelante! Keep moving forward!" Pope Francis said. "For him, this was the way to continue experiencing the joy of the Gospel, to keep his heart from growing numb, from being anesthetized. He kept moving forward, because the Lord was waiting. He kept going, because his brothers and sisters were waiting. He kept going forward to the end of his life. Today, like him, may we be able to say: Forward! Let's keep moving forward! "
St. Serra had a controversial rise to sainthood. Some Native American groups objected to the sometimes brutal methods Serra's schools used to discipline the students.
Popular Pope Francis faces criticism for canonizing missionary Junipero Serra
But Francis defended St. Serra in his homily, taking the church's position that, while sometimes paternalistic and not afraid to use corporal punishment, protected the Indians from persecution by colonizing royal troops.
"Junípero sought to defend the dignity of the native community, to protect it from those who had mistreated and abused it. Mistreatment and wrongs which today still trouble us, especially because of the hurt which they cause in the lives of many people," the pope said.

Launched by the non-profit Tiyya Foundation, Flavors from Afar originally started as a catering service, employing former refugee chefs cooking food from their native homelands. Their brick-and-mortar restaurant opened in Little Ethiopia last year, just as the pandemic started. The menu rotates monthly, spotlighting immigrant cuisines from places all over the globe – Belize to Egypt to Kenya. During my visit, food from Somalia was featured, with Chef Malia Hamza at the helm.
Located on a busy stretch of Fairfax, Flavors from Afar was not open for dine in, which is a shame because the restaurant is beautiful, but takeout and delivery were available. I placed my pick up order over the phone (you can also order online) and was warmly assisted by Christian, one of the co-founders.
I ordered the Veggie Sambusas as a starter. The sambusas were similar to samosas, stuffed with a spicy mix of broccoli, cabbage, onion, potatoes and carrots, wrapped in a delicate pastry, and served with a dip. Even though they were fried, the sambusas were very light and not greasy.
A huge salmon fillet, coated with Somali seasoning, sat on top of a bed of delicate coconut rice with broccoli, onions and peppers in the Baked Salmon Coconut Fried Rice. The dish seemed quite healthy, and the fish was cooked perfectly.
My favorite dish was the Somali Pan Seared Chicken Fried Rice Plate. Two large pieces of halal chicken legs were coated in a slightly spicy sauce that was completely intoxicating, with meat so tender that it was falling off the bone. Usually I try to avoid eating the skin to be healthy, but it would have been a crime to have left it behind. The chicken paired nicely with the rice, which had carrots, cabbage, onions and fried potatoes. The serving size was so generous that I had enough leftover for another meal.
My jamaica agua fresca was not too sweet and slightly tart, which helped extinguish some of the heat from the food.
Not only does Flavors from Afar employ refugee chefs, but proceeds go to programs that support families of refugees and low-income immigrants. With its ever-changing menu highlighting cuisines that aren't normally easily accessible, it's one of the most interesting restaurants in Los Angeles, with its heart in the right place.
Location – 1046 S. Fairfax, Los Angeles, CA 90019

Kid's Menu – No
Vegetarian/Vegan Friendly – Yes
Gluten-Free Options – Yes

Feline species are known to have a very low thirst drive. This means that their water intake from the bowl is usually very low. Therefore, this has to be compensated for through their regular diet.

We do survey clients browsers, the usage we've seen reflects the general popularity of browsers in the wild. (Skewing towards more desktop than mobile, but still significantly mobile)
techtonik you should try Firefox, it's end of life too for vista, but at a much more recent version https://mspoweruser.com/firefox-52-will-last-version-firefox-windows-xp-vista/
I have Firefox and Chrome installed on Fedora, but because I was learning computer stuff on Windows, it is hard to be productive with no tools matching familiar Far Manager, and no ability to rebind Alt-F1, Alt-F2 there. Yea, I know that's my problem and I should use whatever Google and other folks tell me to use, but I am too old tired of this race.
Thanks again for the response techtonik. We do agree that it's important to make tooling accessible for people and long term we plan to expand our supported browsers. Right now it's not as high priority as some of the other things we're working on, but we do hope to get to it eventually.

Thanks again for supporting us.

It's February – the month for Valentine's Day – and although the expression of love during this time is often shown through cards and gifts, random acts of kindness can leave quite an impression. Not only in February, but any day or month, simple acts could have the potential of making a true difference for someone.
Think about seniors in your community or a senior you know. Below are some ideas of random acts of kindness that could add a ray of sunshine to their day:
• Bake or cook for someone.
• Visit someone in a nursing home.
• Hold the door open for someone.
• Smile at someone you don't know.
• Run an errand or go grocery shopping for someone.
• Send a handmade card.
• Visit an older friend who lives alone.
• Set up a bird feeder outside an older adult's window at their home or retirement community. Stop by often to refill.
• Read the newspaper to a senior with poor eyesight.
• Spend an afternoon talking with an older adult and listening to their favorite music.
• Make popcorn and spend time watching classic movies with an older adult.
• Offer a little help around the house with chores like vacuuming, mopping, making the bed, folding laundry, etc.
• Help an older adult with their groceries to the car.
• Drop off used magazines, books, puzzles and games to your local senior center. Or, call your local senior center to ask about what donations would be most useful.
• Offer your seat in a waiting room or your place in line to an older adult.
• Offer to take an older adult for a drive or special outing.
• Give an older loved one a hug and a smile to warm their heart.
• Seek advice from a senior. They have a lot of wisdom and experiences to share.
• Pick up the tab for an older adult or couple while having lunch or getting a cup of coffee.
• Thank a veteran. Send a thank you note to a local veterans' lodge or retirement community asking the sentiment be shared with all residing veterans.
• Leave a bag of pet food or treats outside the door of an older adult's home who has a pet.
• Take trash to the curb or the newspaper/mail to the door of an older neighbor.
• Take your electronic device to visit with a senior and use the technology to reference items from their past that come up in conversation.
• Take an older adult to church who is not able to drive anymore.
If you have an older loved one, neighbor or friend who you have concerns about or would like to learn more about resources in your community that can help them remain in their home, call our Resource Center to learn more. We can be reached toll-free at 1-800-582-7277 or e-mail to email@example.com.

Get the Perfect Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram for Your Travels in Colby, KS
No matter what your preferred type of vehicle is for your travels in the McCook, NE, area, we have great deals on many new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles that are fit for any task. A Chrysler 300 with a strong V6 or V8 engine is an ideal sedan for daily driving in Oakley. You get four doors, seating for up to five, and luxurious accommodations with a great and reliable sedan. Fuel economy is very good with a large fuel tank to support lots of long-distance touring.
If you want something more athletic and sporty with true muscle-car heritage, the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger are great choices. Both come with your choices of V6 and bigger HEMI V8 motors that deliver immense horsepower and torque to a pair of drive wheels in the back. An eight-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential ensure smooth power delivery to the drive wheels.
Minivans Are Very Popular Among Goodland, KS, Families
Many families prefer the superior seating and cargo capacities offered by the Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica and the Dodge Grand Caravan minivan platforms. All three models share the same great Mopar motor power under the hood, with a 3.6-liter V6 among the most widely used powertrains. Three rows of fold-down seating let you carry up to seven passengers and a lot of cargo that you can access via the rear liftgate. Onboard infotainment systems make long travels in the Burlington, CO, area a lot more entertaining.
SUVs Conquer Many Traveling Tasks
When you have a lot to get done and many different places to go in the Colby, KS, area, an SUV is an outstanding transportation choice. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great example of a go-anywhere SUV that also provides outstanding passenger comforts. The luxury SUV offers seating for up to five and has several outstanding motors that drive either two rear wheels or all four wheels with on-demand 4x4. Engines range from a relatively economic 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or your choice of two potent HEMI V8 motors with lots of towing capacity.
You also can opt for a new Jeep Cherokee SUV that has the same great chassis, drivetrain, and engine choices but cuts back on the luxury comforts to help save money. Another great option is the go-anywhere Jeep Wrangler, which is more compact and comes standard with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. The legendary compact 4x4 seats four and has a wide range of removable soft- and hard-top options for year-round driving chores. The more pickup-oriented Jeep Gladiator adds a small truck bed and tailgate to enable even more transportation potential from one of the world's best-known and most-respected 4x4 platforms.
Light-Duty & Mid-Size Pickups Haul Above Their Class
The Ram lineup of pickups is anchored by the light-duty, three-quarter-ton Ram 1500, which offers many great engine choices. You can get a relatively economical 3.6-liter V6 that does well with a traditional rear-wheel drive and handles a 4x4 drivetrain while enabling good towing capacity. A pair of HEMI V8's displacing either 5.7 liters or 6.2 liters increase horsepower and torque, and a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel increases available torque while greatly increasing fuel economy.
When you need to get commercial-level hauling done, our Ram heavy-duty pickups at Colby Dodge have the engine, chassis, and suspension needed to get the job done. You can choose either a 6.4-liter V8 fueled by gasoline or a 6.7-liter turbodiesel that tows a massive amount on a trailer when mated to either a Ram 2500 or a Ram 3500 chassis for heavy-duty hauling tasks. All Ram trucks offer either a regular cab with seating for up to three or extended cabins with four doors and a rear bench that seats up to three more.

"To be again, this is the question."
– Gesualdo Bufalino, The Plague Sower
(used as the opening quote of this film)
As I slowly returning to my regular critical capacity in a world still forced to shut in, I can't help but notice how the platform of streaming can sometimes make it difficult to tell one work from another. With no IMAX screens or live audiences to give you applause, popular entertainment has reached something vaguely resembling a singularity – so much so that, as I've detailed before, century-old film studios are going all-in on streaming. So, too, have film festivals.
That struck me today, because – as a professional critic of theatre, film, television, music, and literature – streaming the opening night film of the now-online SF Indiefest was an odd return for me personally. The last time I attended the festival was for its 2018 opening night. The film selected remains one of the worst movies I've ever seen, one so bad that it soured me on the festival itself.
To my pleasant surprise, this year's opening is leaps and bounds above 2018's infamous trainwreck. (Mind you, both films feature scenes of [TRIGGER WARNING] sexual assault, but this one at least avoids the horrible victim-blaming of the former.) What's more, I couldn't help but notice how it better handles material similarly covered in the last film I reviewed, namely the intersection of humanity and technology. As a theatre guy, I'd be remiss not to point out how it also resembles Tom Stoppard's Arcadia with its use of alternating timelines to tell the story of an elder male "genius" and his relationship with his prized pupil.
I say none of this to suggest that the film – Carlo Hintermann's The Book of Vision – is derivative, merely that I've seen this material before, in one way or another, so I can tell when it's done right or wrong.
The contemporary side of the film focuses magna cum laude grad Eva (Lotte Verbeek), who's turned down a promising career practicing medicine to study its history in a European museum. When asked by Dr. Morgan (Charles Dance) why she'd do such a thing when surgeons like he have moved on to cutting edge robotics, she says she intends to prove that every new medical innovation has come at the cost of the doctor-patient relationship.
Her research leads her to 1729 writings of Dr. Anmuth (also played by Dance), a Prussian physician practicing during the rule King Frederich I. Dr. Anmuth serves the house of General van Ouerbach, his wife Elizabeth (Verbeek again), their sons, Günter and Valentin. Though Anmuth is a man of science, his personal relationship with the family – and the interference of his superstitious of his assistant, Maria (Isolda Dychauk) – complicates his work regarding complications during birth. So, too, does the arrival of Dr. Nils Lindgren (Sverrir Gudnason), who sees patients as nothing more than tools for medicine.
Just as Dr. Anmuth is torn between the cold resolve of Dr. Lindgren and wild beliefs of Maria, so, too, is Eva torn between her research and her growing relationship with colleague Stellan (also Gudnason). Whether they realize it or not, the lives of these time-separated doctors will affect one another in ways neither can truly understand.
Even if Terrence Malick's name weren't attached as executive producer, this film's "slow burn" tone would easily reveal his influence, if not his direct involvement. Mind you, this film has considerably more fidelity to its script, but it's served well by its tone. Half of the film takes place in a time of corsets and empty corridors, before the world became consistently loud; the other half takes place in modern day, but limits great halls and large mansions to the capacity of only a few people at a time. Like his characters, Hintermann maintains a myopic focus on the intimacy of his characters against the backdrop of a larger, complex world.
That complexity is the one thing that doesn't fully sell me on the film. Through Maria, we see a world of where nature literally comes to life in the form of nude figures who step out of the ground and trees. (Their initial introduction, in which the legs of a tree begin moving on their own in human ways, is one of the film's highlights.) And the question of whether or not these visions are real or not is handled well (certainly better than in Bliss). But the suggestion that the 18th century characters may be entering our time seems there merely to muddy the waters.
What's more, as much as I enjoyed the use of actors playing multiple characters, that sort of thing inherently makes one look for parallels in both characters. There are surface similarities here, but it's not completely a 1:1 comparison, so I don't think it lands as well.
Which is not to take anything away from the production of the film itself. Hintermann's direction keeps a fine pace for a script that could have dragged, and the visuals of Jörg Widmer's cameras are a sight to behold. Furthermore, the cast – led by Verbeek, best known for her "witch" role on Outlander – succeed in making their characters both humane and believable.
The cinematic ancestry of The Book of Vision is clear from its opening frames. It doesn't bring much new to the table, but it distinguishes itself with competency. It's a quiet, visually beautiful story of how one should never lose sight of humanity in the face of technological advancement.
And, as mentioned, it's certainly a quantum leap above the last SF Indiefest opener I saw; for that, we should all be grateful.
The Book of Vision is scheduled to stream until the 21st of February as part of SF Indie Fest 2021.
The film runs 95 minutes.

Caras Tracyn
Name Caras Tracyn
Position Master-at-Arms
Character Information
Physical Appearance
|Hair Color
|Eye Color
|Physical Description
|Height: 6'1" or 185-186 centimeters, Weight: 195 lbs - or 88,5 kilo. His eyes are a dull green color. Various scars and marks run down his body from battles past, though the most vicious of them is a slice that runs diagonal down his back, from his shoulder to ribs, from when he almost had his insides exposed to the harsh elements from a downward slice by a rather eager Breen. Beyond the mark of loyalty he has tattooed on his inner forearm, and his goatee, there's hardly anything that distinguishes him from another soldier.
|Distinguishing Marks or Features
|Tattoo, Scar, Goatee.
Family & Acquaintances
|None that he knows of
|Alir Tracyn
|Other Family and Acquaintances
|Arlan Tracyn (Grandfather)
Personality & Traits
|General Overview
|Many confuse his good nature and general banter for someone who doesn't posses his various talents. He generally prefers to, when involved in combat, employ a mocking and almost casual air to it, whenever possible. He's found this puts others off their footing and can lead to enemies making mistakes. When not in battle he's content enough to simply live, and no longer seeks out a fight for a fights sake as he may have in his younger days.
|Strengths & Weaknesses
|+A product of his fathers genetic tampering, he posses roughly 1/2 of the strength, speed, and endurance his father does, or did at his prime. Years of training with other security officers, have helped him learn his trade quite well. He's adept at maintaining and fixing most weapons.
-At anything not related to his craft he's hopeless. He's not brainless, but simply never learned much about repairing other things, or the sciences, or piloting beyond getting down in one piece. He's little to no personal connections at the moment, leaving him no one to fall back on if needed.
|None presently, he mainly lives for the day, though he does squirrel away money for the future.
|Quirks & Flaws
|Chatty, brash, brazen. Has a moral code that he'll live by but won't tell you quite what it is. Loyal to a fault however, if he gives you his word he means it. Burns through quite a lot of calories each day, so is almost always eating on his downtime.
|A big fan of bladed weapons of most cultures, he also enjoys Bajoran poetry and foods of just about everywhere.
|Personal History
|Caras was born on Angosia III, to the the Tracyn bloodline. His father named him Caras, after the word for "eternity," claiming that he could see it in his eyes. Caras' father was a mechanic by trade, helping to fix and repair things. If he ever had a mother, and he surely must have, he never met her. Caras was brought up by his father and grandfather.
When he was 8 his father attempted to get him interested in fixing things, and though he liked it fine, he enjoyed time with his grandfather more. Caras had found he wasn't...quite like the other children. He didn't get tired as quickly, and could run faster, lift more. When pressed his father said nothing, but his grandfather was more forthcoming. He confided in Caras a story of old soldiers, that his father was once a part of. Specially altered, he had been designed with one purpose in mind. To fight for the Angosian way of life. Various men and women had been subjected to these treatments, though the road to peace was long and hard. His father had kept it from him, in hopes that he could turn his son away from such a life. Caras latched onto these old stories though, and trained with his grandfather (a retired security agent) as much as possible.
At the age of 15, Cara' father and he had a falling out. There was no great event, no cataclysmic thing, but words were exchange in the heat of a moment, which led to Caras leaving. Perhaps his father figured that he would return after a few days, tired, hungry, and apologetic. Perhaps his father hadn't really paid enough attention to the child he'd been raising. Making his way down to the space port, with no real relatives besides his father to speak of, he was set upon by some aliens (he'd later learn they were called Naussicans) and put up a decent enough fight, but eventually was rescued by a ship's security officer. He sort of followed after and when pressed claimed to be an orphan. The woman took pity on him and convinced her captain that an apprentice was needed, an extra set of hands.
His new watcher, Maran, taught him as she would her own, teaching him the joys of life, the fun and seriousness of battle and the simple pleasures in between, such as fried coin crabs and cold ale. She made sure though, that he learned other things, and so he learned to repair (already something he'd leanred from his father) as well as pilot (Not WELL, as Maran often put it.)
At the age of 18, he joined as a full member of the crew. His rise throughout the ranks was neither meteoric nor was it slow. He simply did his job to the best of his abilities, no more and no less. He was seen by many as Maran's chosen successor, the heir apparent for security head. Though he wanted his own identity, and sought out something new, once again. When he turned 25 he moved on, having been offered a place with a mercenary company that, in hindsight, wasn't the best move perhaps for him. He did some things he wasn't proud of, though they always worked on a lawful side, though only just on quite a few occasions.
It took him several years before he realized that quite simply, that wasn't the life he wanted. It was good money and he'd saved quite a little nest egg, but he was perhaps content to return to Angosia III, make amends, and move on with his life. Which seemed like a good idea right up until he stared at the shuttle to take him home, a word that no longer had much meaning for him. Whatever home was, it certainly wasn't there anymore.
For about 6 months he wandered, roaming until a friend of a friend of a friend put him on there was a Starship looking for someone with his particular talents.
|Service Record
|2376-2386 - Security officer SS Dovetail (Various ranks within)
2386-2394 - Member of the Mercenary Group "The Bloody Nine."
2394-2395- Unemployed

Our Beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy. Therefore, we believe He is worthy of all glory and praise. Our God is unchanging—He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
We believe sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers eternal life to all who follow Him by faith. In order to receive forgiveness, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus Christ and commit to follow Him and His will for our lives.
The Church
The Church is the visible body of Christ. We believe God has individually equipped us and corporately gathered us as His living body so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives—which is to worship God, strengthen the Church and share the Gospel with our local and global communities.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again, as He promised, to resurrect the church and to rule and reign on this earth. History will conclude as the wicked are judged and the righteous enter a new heaven and a new earth.

After a painful divorce, the topic of who gets the house can strike fear into your heart. You may be wondering if you will ever own your home again, and fearing that you might have to live in an apartment for decades until you are finally able to buy one on your own. But it doesn't have to be this way!
In a Nevada divorce, what happens to the house?
When a couple decides to get divorced, they enter into a lot of different discussions. One of these conversations is about who will get the house in the divorce. This can be a sensitive topic for both parties because it involves dividing up assets and deciding how to move on from this point forward.
The divorce process is a difficult process for everyone involved, but one of the most important decisions that you have to make is who gets the house. There are many factors that go into this decision, and it can be hard to know what would be best for your situation.
When a married couple is going through divorce proceedings (NRS 125.090), they commonly discuss who gets which assets. When a married couple in Nevada moves from the marital home, 50% of that property is awarded to each person. Divorce can affect everything from finances to children. When it comes to the marital home, many factors are taken into account before deciding who gets the house in a divorce.
Divorce in Nevada is an equitable process. This means that both parties are entitled to a fair distribution of assets, including the home if owned jointly during the marriage and any other acquisitions. Generally, after a divorce, each party will get 50% of the marital property during their lifetime. The decision of who gets the house following a divorce can sometimes create problems when considering large assets, which often have to be sold in order for the proceeds to be distributed.
To know the causes of divorce please read NRS 125.010.
Many divorcing couples negotiate an asset distribution and submit it to the court. The court also may order distribution for the spouses. If you have a court case regarding your divorce, the judge will consider various factors to decide how assets are distributed.
Who Gets The House?
Another contentious issue in divorces is one party's claim to the marital home, as this often serves as a battleground for child custody and visitation rights. It can be hard for a child to move during middle school or high school, and parents may need to stay in the same house for work purposes. When deciding who gets the house in a divorce, you need to be mindful of different factors that will determine what happens.
In regard to visitation rights you may know more about it through NRS 125C.010.
The decision of what to do with a house in a divorce depends on several factors, including: whether the home is sold and divided, refinance credits are given so one spouse has enough money for monthly mortgage payments or insurance if it will be refinanced after certain events (such as all children graduated high school).

So this week I have been looking into keeping a positive vybe. Because even when we know how to get there, its not always the easiest to stay there! Life happens, we get caught up in old feelings, and there we go-out of abundance again. I came across a little trick. It seems easy enough. I started implementing it and guess what?! It does seem to have some power!
We can be having the best day ever and one single thing can change it all. Sometimes the "thing" is big and sometimes its only big to you but the problem is the same. Why do we go from 100 to zero in about 5 seconds? So my thought is, if we can go down in vibrations within a 5 second period, shouldn't we then be able to do the opposite? That's were this little trick comes in.
So when your having a great day, or even a lousy day-here is my tip for you. SMILE…..I tried it and it does actually has an initial relaxation feeling. They say to keep smiling but I found, personally that if I smile for just a few seconds and then release, smile again for another few moments, and so on…It really has the power to change your thought process and bring it into a positive vibration. If not just for the action, but for the thoughts that start to interrupt your negative ones. (thoughts like: I bet these people next to me think I'm psychotic!) Positivity starts leaking out into the dark and before you realize it, you are sending higher vibrations with increased positive emotions. It really is amazing-the power of the smile. Not to mention the smile you are giving other people-weve heard over and over the power of the smile. I knew it was good for others but I did not realize the effects on yourself-using it!
I never thought of it as an emotion/thought changing tool. I thought the smile was mainly for others benefit. You know, a way to change the moods of others around you, help make their day a little brighter…The saying that making others happy makes you happy too, has a lot to do with the simple smile!
SMILE everyone!

Did you know there are 26 English speaking non extradition countries in the world? To say a country is non extradition means that it holds no extradition treaty with the United States.
What is an extradition treaty? It's the agreement that allows one country to transfer a suspected or convicted criminal back to their home country for trial. In other words, many people who are in trouble with the law choose to flee to their non extradition countries to hide. No extradition meaning what countries do not extradite back to the US where they're in trouble.
But it's a lot more difficult to hide in a country that doesn't speak your language. Finding and hiring an English translator is no piece of cake in some countries, and you won't get very far without communicating with at least a few of the locals.
But, believe it or not, there are a few non extradition countries that do have English speakers, in fact English is an official language in some. We helped find those countries for you, and ranked them on a scale of least to most English speakers.
Though there are no South American countries without extradition and no non extradition countries in the UK, Africa and the Middle East hold plenty of them. There are also no non extradition countries in the Caribbean, but a few are peppered throughout the South Pacific.
First, we found out what countries have no extradition treaties with the United States. Then we went to the World Factbook for information about which countries speak English. In this list, each country is listed along with their various official and unofficial languages.
Countries that held English as an official language received 5 points, while countries with English as a second language got 4 points. Three points were awarded to countries where English is taught in schools, countries where government and business officials speak English received a 2, and countries where English speakers composed less than 5% of the population got 1 point (there were only two of those countries and they're not counted as part of the list, but listed at the very end of the article).
However, don't forget to read up a little on the local language(s) as well before traveling to these countries. Even though English is an official language in over half of the countries with no extradition laws, that doesn't necessarily mean everyone speaks it. Some of them have 3 to 4 official languages, and even more indigenous languages take up a smaller percentage.
So keep in mind that just because a country has 5 points doesn't mean everyone in it is well versed in the English language. That's actually a long shot.
