Hey Folks. It's time to geek in an outward direction with the force. That's right, we're talking about Star Wars: The Force Awakens with Chris, Phil, Bob, and the Girl Friday herself, Jessie. Real quick, this episode is full of spoilers so go see the movie if you haven't, it's pretty darn good.

I could accept wholeheartedly a Kenobi relation in Rey. That would certainly make that last scene in the movie that much more powerful. Star Wars history would certainly seem to repeat itself in a very interesting yet unique manner.

So, Ren is accessory at least to genocide, I'm not interested in his redemption story.
So, well before they got to the bridge, it was clear the Solos were going to meet and one would die, but personally I wasn't sure which one was going to murder the other. I'd actually prefer it if Han had continued his backsliding and taken the hard choice to stop his son (and destroy his reconciliation with Leia.)

When Barack Obama presented Stevie Wonder with the Gershwin Prize at the Library of Congress last Wednesday, it was a fitting acknowledgment of the soul superstar's role, not just in the President's life, but in the cultural, musical and political life of America. As a black man who has risen above hardship and disability through sheer talent and will, Wonder is a potent symbol of America's better self, a musical correspondent for Obama's own journey.
The two form something of a mutal admiration society. Wonder's Sixties Motown hit Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours was the anthem of the Obama campaign, the kind of uplifting, relentlessly positive old favourite guaranteed to lift any political rally. Wonder was there at the end, singing through the inauguration festivities at the Lincoln Memorial in January.
Questioned about his musical heroes by Rolling Stone magazine, Obama declared: "If I had one, it would have to be Stevie Wonder. When I was just at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness' First Finale, Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life. Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we've ever seen." There are few music critics who would disagree with that assessment, suggesting that, unlike the previous incumbent, Obama is a president who takes his music seriously.
Presenting the Gershwin Prize, he made it even more personal, claiming the first time he asked his future wife Michelle to dance, it was to a Wonder song, and that this set the course of their relationship. "I think it's fair to say that had I not been a Stevie Wonder fan, Michelle might not have dated me, we might not have married. The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship."
Yet Wonder is also a safe choice for presidential endorsement. Contemporary black music superstars like Jay-Z and Kanye West were kept in the background of the Obama campaign, probably for fear that their hip hop associations and outspoken comments might alienate more conservative, white voters. Wonder's appeal transcends racial divides. While he has never been shy of addressing politics in his music, he tackles issues of race without rancour, promoting an agenda of equality, freedom and justice for all. This, after all, is the man who sang Ebony and Ivory with Paul McCartney, probably the most twee racial harmony song ever written. In some respects, Wonder's blindness makes him the ideal commentator on race. At a press conference in London last year, he was asked what he thought of the prospect of an African American becoming President. "I do sort of know what an African American looks like," he mischievously responded. "But black, white, red, yellow, blue, it shouldn't make a difference."
Wonder has been blind since his premature birth on May 13, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan. The third of six children, his given name is Stevland Hardaway Judkins. He later changed his name to Morris, when his mother divorced and remarried. He became Wonder after he was spotted singing on a street corner in 1961 and signed to the fledgling Motown label. Producer Mickey Stevenson was so impressed by the prodigal multi-instrumentalist that he declared "the boy's a wonder!"
And so he was to prove. He scored his first US number one at 12 years old with Fingertips (Pt 2), a live track featuring him on vocals, bongos and harmonica. He became a beaming child star in the Sixties with songs like Uptight (Everything's Alright) and I Was Made To Love Her, but he was also a backroom prodigy, composing sophisticated music for classics such as Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.
As his presidential fan acknowledged, it was with a run of extraordinarily modern, funky and profound albums in the Seventies that Wonder really laid down his marker as one of the all-time greats. These are albums he produced himself, playing nearly all the instruments. A self-confessed "gadget freak", he pioneered the use of synthesisers (with help from experimental electronics duo Tonto's Expanding Head Band). The material spanned socially conscious funk such as Living for the City and the anti-Nixon anthem You Haven't Done Nothin', out-and-out dance pop classics like Superstition and big, cheesy ballads like You Are The Sunshine of My Life and Isn't She Lovely (written about the birth of his daughter, Aisha Morris). It is safe to say that everyone knows a Stevie Wonder song.
In 1980 Wonder had his greatest commercial success, with the album Hotter Than July. It included Happy Birthday, an ultimately successful call to make Dr Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Since then, his output has fallen, though he has had soundtrack hits (including the Oscar-winning I Just Called To Say I Love You), appeared on dozens of collaborations and remained a top live attraction. Despite this level of success, Wonder is arguably not given the credit he is due.
When we think of the great contemporary singer-songwriters of America, we probably think of the genre spearheaded by Bob Dylan, and including mighty talents such as Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. But Wonder has the lyrics, he has the music and he has the groove, with more real popular hits to his name than all of those legends combined. His performances are extraordinary, the voice rich and fluent, his keyboard work funkily syncopated, and his band responding to every nuance with the fluency of a jazz ensemble.
His private life has been complicated. Wonder has been twice married and has seven children by three different mothers (two of whom he never married). Yet clearly there was nothing too controversial in his background, which would have been heavily vetted by White House staff before Obama was allowed to associate with him.
Black and white music in America have arguably become more divided since the outspoken hip hop genre came to the fore, but Wonder remains a uniting figure. His philosophy is probably best summed up in the opening of his song Sir Duke: Music is a world within itself / With a language we all understand / With an equal opportunity / For all to sing, dance and clap their hands".
In his transition from child prodigy to adult superstar, Wonder flowered from the clean-cut look favoured by Motown's boss, Berry Gordy, to something akin to a psychedelic African American hippy. Never one to let blindness hold him back, he proudly claimed to pick his own clothes (looking at his clashing wardrobe, it is easy to believe him). He also developed a sideline in the Eighties composing music for films he has never seen, in the accepted sense of the word. He is in a noble tradition of American musicians, from Blind Willie McTell to Ray Charles, who have refused to accept loss of sight as a disability. As Wonder himself has put it: "Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision."

Street Warfare
The street looks clear but it's not. I don't know how I know, maybe it's the mask, maybe it's old fashion humanoid instinct, but I know.
"We are not alone," I whisper into the darkness.
Streak slips out of the dark beside me as if he was really a part of it and looks my way.
"We go in regardless."
He disappears from sight again and I look behind me. Is it the mask haunting me or is there really something there? I hate not knowing which, yet living with the mask means just that.

Downton Abbey: Oak Park?
Opinion: Columns
By John Hubbuch
Almost everyone I know over 60 discovered the BBC series Downton Abbey in the last year. Old people have time to burn at least in the short term. So a series about the trials and tribulations of the aristocratic Crawley family at the beginning of the 20th Century must have struck our collective fancy. Like a good Dickens novel there's a lot to like. The lives and relationships among all walks of society are portrayed midst the twists and turns of an uncertain world.
At first impression it is hard to imagine a more different place than Downton Abbey in Yorkshire England compared to Oak Park, Illinois. In England before WWI ,women can't vote. The landed gentry is fighting desperately to hold on to a rigid class structure that has been in place for hundreds of years. One dresses for dinner, shoots grouse and summers in the country. In today's Oak Park there are no servants. Women not only vote, but serve as village manager and clerk. There are no grouse and not many guns to shoot them. Oak Park is a bastion of liberal orthodoxy. Some call us "The People's Republic of Oak Park." Everyone is equal. Sort of.
Yet in some ways Oak Park is as conservative as the British aristocracy a hundred years ago. For just as the English aristocracy supported the status quo and longed to keep things the same, so too do we in Oak Park . We honor our ancestors -- Hemingway and Wright. We treasure our big old homes. Like the Crawleys , we fear change. We want to keep a way of life that has served us well for a number of years.
Like Victorian and Edwardian England, our history and geography powerfully influence us. We know our schools are the linchpin of our housing market so we vote in support of every school referendum. Our high taxes help pay for a large police force because of our proximity to high-crime Austin. We remember the heroes who "saved" the village in the 1960s. Our village government is dominated by the VMA that wins almost every contested election. This consensus for preserving what we have is the very definition of conservatism. Ask Edmund Burke. And that consensus is widely shared. Surveys and election results document a strong support for the status quo. Elections are over nuance, not substance. The big issues in yesterday's election were the pace of getting a business permit and what to do with the high school's big "rainy day" fund. Not exactly Bastille-storming provocations. Those that don't share the consensus move to Westchester just like unhappy Brits moved to Plymouth Rock and Jamestown.
Now the setting for Downton Abbey is really at the very end of the 500 years of aristocratic hegemony, so my little comparison of the two societies is flawed. Significant change came to Britain, and the Crawleys soon will be selling land and giving tours. On the other hand Oak Park is not nearly as old. So the way I see it we've got at least 300 years to defend a way of life. And really what's wrong with the status quo? Just ask the Crawleys

As my quill placed it first drop of indigo on silken paper to congratulate the Wednesday Journal on its wonderful writings about the recent elections in the village, my quill quivered with fear. How could the coverage be wonderful, if the famed satirist, John Hubbich, had not read the writings? Genty Hubbich wrote, "The big issues in yesterday's election were the pace of getting a business permit and what to do with the high school's big "rainy day fund.". Surely his stunning lack of knowledge is a sign of the shockingly increased pace of the demise of the Fourth Estate. May God help us if John finds out there is a 24/7 broadcast channel of Downton Abbey in the planning stage. It would be the end of knowledge.

Pizza for 12-20 pesos per slice. Very good pizza! Staff is very friendly, even if you don't know Spanish. Visited them twice because it was good, fast, and cheap!
Thank you very much for your lovely review.. we hope to see you soon!
simple to the point, and cheap. great student meal or budget eating... we both had a slice and both were really good.
Thank you very much for the review. I hope see you again!
You choose your slice and then they put it back into the oven until it is hot and so delicious. I went back so many times that the girl who worked there soon recognized me on sight. :)
It is very good for a small pizza joint! Affordable, friendly and fast service. I would recommend this place if you want a good fast meal. We had 7 slices + 3 soft drinks for 160mxp. Not bad!
I love Mama Mia Pizza. I went out of my way 3 times to eat here. I recommend the 3 cheese and a slice with meat or veggie toppings. It is about a dollar US per slice. So sad I can't have it now lol!!
They have many branches over the city, we've been to the one on 2nd Calle between 10 and 12 Avenue, it's the cheapest, the pizza is great and for good price value for money very high

This is the best pizza in Playa! Great value at only $1.00/ slice. Love going to Mama Mia's. Great to get a slice or two for lunch. They always have a variety of toppings.

An internal investigation is any effort to gather and analyze facts to help make a decision. Morrison & Foerster managing partner Craig Martin has overseen more than a dozen such efforts. His advice:
- Understand the purpose of the investigation and how you will use the findings before you start.
- Reassess scope as the investigation proceeds. "You may start with an employee-discipline issue but then discover there's a potential violation that requires self-reporting to regulators."
- You probably want the process overseen by a lawyer, whether internal or external. "If there's a premium on independence, consider a firm with which you have no prior relationship."
- Pay careful attention to document gathering, which can be complex and onerous. "In particular, data-privacy laws outside the United States can introduce challenges."
- You've done it right if the facts you've collected position you to make a decision, and you can use those facts to defend your decision to relevant constituencies, Martin says.

Trendy bar and restaurant downtown Porto
Twin's club trademark has immemorially been associated to a story made of successful nightlife ingredients such as fun times, lounge bar or disco dance hall and trendy, fashionable looks. And the recent chapter started a few years ago, when Twin's Baixa opened doors in Cândido dos Reis street.
This new nightlife pleasurable rooftop not only followed the tsunami of bars and clubs flooding Porto downtown but it has soon upgraded from the irreverent student to a nighttime class master, sought by many, many clients.
In a renovated old textile warehouse, Twin's Baixa offers an exquisite menu of pleasing gourmet meals where portuguese traditional gastronomy has new uniforms on the plate and a wide range of portuguese wines and cocktails, like gin and tonic for all palates.
Besides this restaurant feature, its contemporary décor elevates de concept of modern and urban lounge bar to a new standard. It also has an outdoor terrace, where you can make a toast to the cosmopolite Porto, your new favorite city. And when time draws near to that moment when the skeleton needs a little bit of shaking, Twin's will suit your inner desires for a great night.
Twin's Baixa works as a restaurant from Monday to Saturday. From Tuesday to Thursday the bar closes at 2am, but on weekends it goes all the way up at 4am.
Afterwards it's time to choose another place to go before breakfast: Plano B, just few steps away; Tendinha dos Clérigos, also very close; or Pitch Club, onPassos Manuel Street, will carry you on to the crib. On the same street of Twin's, Porto Tónico cocktail bar and The Gin House will provide uncanny liquefied memories of the city.

Chuck Palahniuk
Life Path Number 5
" Once I start writing, I can't stop."
Chuck Palahniuk is an American novelist and freelance journalist who describes his work as "transgressional" fiction, and is best known for his award-winning novel Fight Club, which also was made into an acclaimed film by the same name.
He was born on Wednesday February 21st 1962, in Pasco, Washington, United States.
The key to Chuck's personality is freedom. Chuck loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people. He possesses the curiosity of a cat and longs to experience all of life.
Chuck Palahniuk loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as he is not tied down to any one area. Palahniuk likes change, new things and new horizons. He makes friends easily; his personality is upbeat and often inspiring attracting people from all walks of life. Chuck has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. He can be in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Chuck Palahniuk likely lacks discipline and order. He can also be impulsive, doing or expressing things he regrets later. Freedom and a need for adventure sometimes is not properly controlled by those born with this Life Path, causing problems with drug abuse, overindulgence in food or sex, or generally abusing the gift of life.
Chuck is sensual and loves to taste all of life. Sex, food and other sensory experiences are essential to the enjoyment of his life. He finds it difficult to commit to one relationship, but once committed, Chuck Palahniuk can be as faithful as an old dog.
He is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to Palahniuk's success. Without these, many of the tasks Chuck begins will remain unfinished and he will fail to realize the true fruits of his abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Chuck Palahniuk may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by his family. However, he must not be obliged to hurry his choice of career. He is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before he can truly know and commit to his heart's desire. Chuck's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom. Change is constant in his world, requiring adaptability and courage.
Chuck Palahniuk should try to maintain an exercise program, keep his body in shape and limber. The flexibility and durability of Palahniuk's body will promote security and confidence within him. Chuck yearns for freedom, and self-employment attracts him powerfully. His challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate his ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Chuck Palahniuk finds his niche, the motivation and inspiration he supplies others with will bring him much in return, and Palahniuk will find his friends and colleagues supporting and promoting him on the road to success.
You and Chuck
About Chuck's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Chuck Palahniuk's birth. In that instant, Chuck stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Palahniuk's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Chuck Palahniuk's life.

Dear Mr/Mrs President/CEO,
I'm writing to you to make you aware of procedural and policy flaws that could be detrimental to your business. i.e. loss of customers from both cruises.com and cruisesonly.com. (World Travel Holdings)
On 7/13 I spoke to a very nice woman at cruise.com by the name of Wendy. She was very polite and arranged a 7- night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Line's Getaway. I gave her all my pertinent information including my Visa Card number. At the end of our pleasant interchange I asked her whether we were all paid up and ready to go. To which she replied in the affirmative. Armed with the good news I went ahead and booked two flights on American Airlines for $796.23 for transportation to Miami.
Later that night I got concerned that I hadn't received any communication in my inbox. I logged onto cruise.com and found that my information had been taken down falsely. Instead of my birth year being 1972 it was 1932. also my email address was incorrect.
But there was the opportunity to correct personal information. Which I took. The nest morning I called Wendy back only to discover that it was her day off. But I got transferred to another agent how Informed me that my credit card had been rejected, the state room with balcony had been cancelled and this cruise was now fully booked. You can imagine my and my wife's emotions as this was the first trip we were planning since we got married a year ago.
The agent, sensing my aggravation, quickly offered an apology and began searching for availability on another cruise line or ship.
He had to work within the parameter that I had to be back state side by 7/27. However, sadly, he wasn't capable to find any cruise anywhere on the eastern coast line. He then re-assured me that I would get my money back from the airline if I cancel within 24 hours.
Not wanting to let our vacation time go to waste. I searched cruisesonly.com and found a 7-nights cruise from New York City to Bermuda on the Norwegian Breakaway. Happy with what I called American Airlines who informed me that my tickets were non refundable and that I would loose almost $500 but would give me a $300 voucher for future travel.
To recap: I was told I was all paid up yet I was not, Wendy should have informed me that I was in fact not payed up and should not make air travel arrangements until my card cleared. Also I should have not been the one calling you to find out about my wrecked vacation plans you should have called me which you did but only in the afternoon when everything was set and done.
Your agent Blake offered me two $75 good will vouchers for a future cruise booked through you. He later increased that offer to two
$100 vouchers. He then went on to say he would investigate what else he could do for me and would call me back. The following day I received an email from customer relations at cruises.com implying I had canceled the cruise but that were willing to extend me the courtesy of one (1) $100 good will voucher to be used within one year on cruises.com.
That prompted my call to Alison who informed me that 2 $100 good will vouchers was the best she could do for me after I lost $500 on air fare, $1000 for a more expensive cruise plus the $280 for parking in NY totaling $1780 which could have been avoided had you agent informed me of the payment procedure, given me a chance to set my bank straight and had been capable in finding a new trip for us.
Your supervisor Sandy was then able to convert the 2 $200 vouchers into onboard credit which was nice of her and I excepted this offer with prejudice.
This means I am in no way satisfied with your company's handling of this incident and I wish to be adequately compensated for my aggravation, time and money lost.
Sincerely, Dr. Carsten Boesmann
Needless to say the called me and said nothing could be done. I am angry .

Dear Mr/Mrs President/CEO,

Sorry to hear of this most disappointing experience. There are a few things I don't quite understand;
What was the difference in price if in fact you were not "all paid up." it seems odd that a cruise was booked on 7/13 for what has to be an embarkation very soon and it was not paid in full. At this late juncture i think it would have had to be paid in full.
Why was the CC rejected?
Was it a really good deal? I hate to say it but I wonder if someone bumped your reservation to give it to another person.
Lousy work.
Best of luck.
Report Abuse
If you know how to use the Internet, and made your own flight reservations, why did you need to make cruise reservations through an agency? And by the phone, without immediate print-out, not through agency's website?
Sorry it happened to you, but...
Report Abuse
And will the OP ever be back?
Report Abuse
It is interesting that the OP refers to cruise.com and cruises.com which are two different companies. I would like to know which one it was. I don't use cruise.com because I have a different cruise company that I have used for years. I do know several people who have used cruise.com and have been happy with their service.
Report Abuse
Hi T69, how are you.
I saw that and looked it up after you mentioned it. Both those companies are under the umbrella of World Travel Holdings but there are quite a few others too so why only two are singled out I don't know and doubt if the OP will be back to clarify it.
Report Abuse
it is always unfortunate when trip plans go awry, but there are lessons that can be learned here. First: don't assume your arrangements are firm unless you have that all important email and a confirmation #. Second: read the terms and conditions when you book your flight and choose your fare class accordingly. Refundable fares cost more, but can be worth it. Third: Always allow for the possibility that one aspect of your itinerary may not go as planned, and have a back up plan (and extra budget) to cover contingencies. Personally, if booking an organized tour of any kind I plan to arrive at the departure point at least a day ahead in order to allow for a late flight or missed connection.
Airlines and tour companies know all the angles and write the rules to their own advantage. You need to be proactive to ensure you know exactly what you are getting in for and who will bear the financial burden if there are problems.
Perhaps this post will help some unwary new traveller. I expect most of us have learned these lessons the hard way.

I booked the NCL April 30, 2017 5 night Pacific Coastal Northbound trip with Crusesonly. The perks were free gratuities and the unlimited beverage package. When I saw the invoice I questioned the taxes and port charges of $681.02 (for 2 guests) the agent told me that I just did not understand what I was looking at and that they broke things out differently that the cruise lines. Uh huh.
Recently I was looking around Norwegian's website and when I looked into the same booking through their site and saw that the taxes and port fees are actually $381.02 for 2 guests, I called Cruisesonly to get my invoice corrected. In addition, there is a charge marked "other" on the invoice for $142.20 which turns out to be the gratuity for the unlimited beverage package. The "customer service" representative was less than helpful and mouthed the same script as the booking agent about my not understanding the actual fees involved, that the additional $300.00 fee was a port charge, that she had been doing this for years, there was nothing wrong with the fees I had been charged and nothing to correct.
I had also gone to Priceline and saw the same taxes and port fee charges as was quoted on NCL. This is fraud, pure and simple. I will be making a complaint with the BBB, filing a complaint with the FEC and the Delaware Attorney General. I will also be sharing this story with the Cruiseonly Facebook page, World Travel Holdings, Cruise Critic website, NCL corporate office and their website, and any consumer reporting websites. This company is not to be trusted anyone's business.
Report Abuse
It took me less than a minute to Google "cruisesonly reviews" to see only complaints about this (fraud?) company.
Why, why, why people who have Internet access ignore Google?

Betsey Johnson
Pictures from Betsey Johnson's online store
All About Betsey
More Pictures from the online store
Betsey Johnson is known for being crazy, in a good way. In her early work she used shower curtains, interior linings of cars, and the wool from the old Yankee's uniforms as fabric. She is known for incorporating bright colors, puffy sleeves, low waists, and deep necklines into her works. Betsey's work helped to shape society in the 60's when her work became part of the Youthquake movement in London which gave teenagers the chance to run the music and fashion scene. This helped shape society by showing teenagers that they can be themselves no matter what. In the 70's Betsey had to alter her plans of designing for the youth of the world when all her customers were more interested in "dress-for-work" clothes, she had to begin designing children's and maternity clothes when the company she owned at the time, Alley Cat, went out of business. She got her inspiration back in 1978 when punk started in London.
From reading Betsey Johnson's biography I learned that thinking outside of the box and being weird isn't a bad thing. If Betsey hadn't of made clothes out of shower curtains would we even know who she was today? Taking this away from the biography will inspire me to stop trying so hard to be normal and to bring on the weird.
H- Betsey knew she wanted to accomplish a fun quirky new way for the youth to dress.
Betsey Johnson was born on August 10, 1954 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. As a child Betsey was very talented at art. She trained in dance and was inspired by the wonderful costumes she had to wear in the performances. Betsey graduated high-school and went on to the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, after only a year spent at this school she transferred to Syracuse University and graduated from here in 1964.
Biography Continued
After college Betsey entered and won Mademoiselle magazine's Guest Editor contest, she then got a job with the magazine's art department. After working with Mademoiselle magazine for a year, Betsey got a job as a designer at Paraphernalia, a clothing boutique. Betsey's background influenced her as she was put into dance classes which inspired her to want to design, and by her work with Paraphernalia which is where she developed her unique style.
Social, Cultural and Ethnic Background
Betsey's ethnic background of being an American influenced her choices in many ways, her education, the use of the Yankee's uniforms in her designs, and the people she was able to work with as they were in America as well. Her social and cultural backgrounds influenced her in many ways as well, the most important is the Youthquake movement that came about because of herself, Mary Quant. and Andy Warhol.
U- Betsey found her way around the barrier of her first company closing down by continuing to design.
N- Betsey worked with artist, Andy Warhol, designer, Mary Quant, and ex-model Chantal Bacon who was Betsey's partner in opening their own store when Betsey became inspired again.
T- After graduating college Betsey took the first step and entered the contest with Madimosals magazine.

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.
Methodology of spiritual development.
Teachings of God
Who Сan Enter the Abode of the Creator?
I do not remember where and how — in distant childhood — I first heard these couplets, but they are, for some reason, remembered until my current age of 70. Perhaps — in order to include them in this article?
It hurts the heart, the kidneys hurt,
Strong ache is in my chest...
Gold are my prior beauty days,
I cannot bring you back in any way!...
My thoughts and thoughts along a day!...
Pain in temples and the crown...
I ruined my youth before
The due time, prematurely!...
Thus ruin their lives so many atheists and those who believe primitively — the lives, which, however, were given us by God for perfecting!
But for masses of people who begin to move from atheism or religious primitivism — to the true religious worldview and the real spiritual efforts on self-transformation, we need to obtain a complete concept that describes God and the meaning of our existence. And this knowledge must be carried to all people through the media.
God — throughout the entire history of mankind on the planet — has repeatedly told people through His Messengers about Himself and how we are to live [2-12]. But aggressive primitives, protruding out from the crowd, quite soon distort the received Divine Knowledge — to adapt it to their own selfish purposes [6].
One of the typical methods of such distortions can be something like this:
"God will condemn you to eternal torment in hell if you are not properly praying to Him for your salvation!
"But you do not know and cannot learn to pray rightly! Man needs to have a special blessing from Him, which only I and my assistants have! Pay us — and we will pray for you!
"I repeat: your prayers — no matter how careful, will not be heard by God! Because you are weak and insignificant before His Power and Authority! Moreover, you are guilty, if only for the fact of your birth! But He is the Almighty and the Terrible Judge! Therefore, you pay us — and we will pray for you, because only we have the right to this!"
Those, who are reasonable, understand that there is not a grain of truth in the previously paraphrased.
Moreover, the suggestion to myself of my hopeless sinfulness and doom of coming posthumous sufferings — these "heavy" emotions, which become commonplace, program exclusively to hell!
But the truth is quite another! To comprehend it, one has to switch one's own world-perception from primitive egocentrism and anthropocentrism — to God-Centrism.
In other words, a) attempts to understand the processes occurring in the universe and b) my own place in them, i.e. the formation of my own proper world-view — I must begin not from my personal "I", but from God — the Creator of everything that exists and happens.
Existing in the multidimensional universe, the infinite in size and eternal Divine Consciousness, called the Creator, is situated in the very depth of the scale of multidimensionality, i.e. in the subtlest layer — as compared with all other energetic phenomena in the universe. The Creator is One, but is the Aggregate of All Those created by Him living units which then have developed themselves to the Divinity and merged with Him throughout the history of His existence.
This Universal Divine Consciousness lives in the everlasting Process of development. And everything that we observe in the material world is dedicated to exactly this. In other words, the world of matter is not self-existing, but was created by Him and also controlled by Him — according to His God-Centered Intention.
But He has given people the free will — in what concerns their personal development or degradation.
Another point that is very important to understand — God exists not for us, but we, people, exist for God. And He is not the Servant to us, who are asking and demanding from Him this and that, — but we should be His servants!
And He says that He is Love, not a Terrible Monster!
He invites us to approach Him by our spiritual qualities — by means of developing gentle and nurturing love and abandoning any coarse features!
As for paradise and hell, it is not that He sorts people, directing them there or here, but people themselves do determine their fates in future after bodies' death. It is voluntary development — during their lifetime in these bodies — either hell's or paradise's spiritual qualities!
... In bodies of plants, animals, and humans are going on — in a series of many incarnations — the gradual processes of development of souls. Those souls, who attain in their perfecting the Divinity, flow into the Creator and thus enrich Him with themselves.
That is the meaning of our lives!
The next step in this sequence of thoughts is each one searchs and finds his or her place in this Evolutionary Process. That is — what exactly need I do to harmoniously "fit" in this Process?
And in fact, in particular, now becomes completely apparent the senselessness of crying about "my hopeless sinfulness!"
And all the forms of devotional practices and rituals — no matter by what beautiful and "mysterious" words they are called — can be useful at only the very beginning of spiritual formation of each. Their objective meaning consists simply in accustoming to the fact that there is God with Whom I have to learn how to interact in my life, and to Which I desire to devote my life.
By the way, the absurdity and harmfulness of attempts to live in the "monastic" parasitism become clear! "We" — they say — "are working, praying for you, and you are obliged for this to feed, to clothe and otherwise revere us..." But such prayers are of no utility! Every adult is personally responsible for their own destiny, forming it by own ethically significant — before God — actions. And it is not planned by God — the removal sinners from hell and — on someone's prayers — transportation of them from hell to paradise!
The correct actions of any person are efforts to improve oneself and to help other units of life in their evolutional development. The second is the service for God.
* * *
But we see a huge variety in the depravity of certain people living on the Earth. All their troubles are rooted in the lack of the fundamental knowledge that we are now discussing!
The primitive self-centeredness is the cause of human vices — such as the desire to usurp, dominate, force others, the ability to kill and hurt other creatures, to deceive, to be envious, jealous, sarcastic, and humiliate...
So, we must reject it all out of ourselves! Although such efforts will require some time.
But... do many people want to execute it?
Unfortunately, no…
In particular, leaders of sects which have firmly established their positions in society — will be against.
It is much easier — in order to keep their "flock" in obedience — to insist on compliance for those people in the "saving" rituals!
For example — to demand believers throw stones into the air, allegedly aiming at the devil, instead of driving out the devil qualities from themselves...
Or — to suggest people indulge their most vile mental properties, hating and killing "infidels", instead of purifying themselves from the very ability to be angry and to be violent...
Mass religious "culture" on the Earth today just maims human's destinies! And God now points that mankind does not fulfill its — planned by Him — predestination... [12]
Life without understanding its meaning is unbearable for many people! And they — to lose at least for a time contact with "reality" (in their wrong subjective feeling) — immerse in alcoholism... Another solution — suicide... The third — to enter into courage of violence against others...
If people do not have God-Centered worldview, they can also easily be involved in different types of false "spiritual" trends like "urinotherapy" crippling to an even greater extent the already weak minds of its adherents...
Or it is known the situation when a man, been possessed by the spirit of a monkey, became the leader of the sect, which attracted very many participants. His credo became — from some time — the rejection of all norms of honesty. Plus the rudeness of consciousness appeared due to this... Why was it that a lot of followers had gathered around him? Because he built his public lectures (including placing them on the Internet) on materials from my books and films — up to verbatim citations of the texts. But he presented it, however, — on only his own behalf.
People follow the examples of their leaders. This is especially important in the spiritual realm! Therefore, the leader has to be perfect in terms of ethics! But here...
However, God has given people freedom of choice...
I do not enjoy talking about this... But I have to do this, in particular, because that primate (as he calls himself) and several of his followers call themselves… my students. I assure you that there is no base for this: my credo is opposite!
* * *
What are the post-mortal fates of people?
Most underdeveloped and degenerated — in ethical and intellectual criteria — souls often try to remain in their dead bodies. Each of them experiences the putrefaction of their flash… — like putrefaction of themselves... That is, including, — a part of their hell…
But hell — this is usually not a territory localized somewhere in the material world, but the rough layers of multidimensional space, where there is no love, but abundance of brutality, violence, malice. These are simply those souls' qualities that have been developed by immoral people during their lives on the Earth. They remain with them after the deaths of bodies.
Those who conducted — at least in some measure — a decent way of life, after breaking up with material bodies settle in approximately the same conditions in which they lived before the death of their bodies. But this is — not a paradise.
The fact is that between paradise and hell, there are other layers of multidimensionality for post-mortem life. They are collectively called the astral or the layers of the astral plane.
The paradise is the abode for yet small in size souls, but already accustomed — while living in bodies — to the blissful paradise states. This can be achieved not otherwise than through the development of oneself as a spiritual heart, i.e. as love. These people after disembodiment live in the states including blissful love for each other.
The next stage of spiritual ascent for them becomes a quantitative growth of consciousness, implemented by methods called by Krishna as Buddhi Yoga [2,4,12]. These developmental techniques are universal. Jesus Christ taught in them His disciples-apostles. [2,12,14] The same was for the worthy students in theological schools of Atlantis, Egypt, Greece, Russia, and other countries [12].
But the methods of Buddhi Yoga may be harmful if they become the property of people of vice. That is how devils are created — both non-incarnate ones and ones in the flesh. They can talk nice and right words about God... But God for them is not a Reality. Their main feature is pathogenic (for others) energy rudeness. (Paradoxically, sometimes they can "earn a living wage", taking on themselves the function of healers. Thus they cheat and maim those people who are seeking to get rid of their diseases, but not by means of parting from their own soul-defects — that would be correct — but for money.)
... I note that to move from the state of "grey astral" to the Divinity — this way can be accomplished during one embodiment.
* * *
Divine Perfection — this is no less than the direct cognition of the Creator in His basic states: Transparent Calm (also called the Turiya state, Turiynity) and Light-Fire (Brahmanic) Manifestations, which reflect the increased activity of the Holy Spirits; it must also be mastered, the ability to merge with God in these states of Him, entering into Him, becoming — through this — Him.
A paradise state precedes taking these spiritual heights. It may be obtained most easily by mergence in harmony with the tenderness of nature, especially on quiet sunny dawns. This state should be — at this stage of the ascent — the main, dominant.
But to master them, it is possible only through the development of self-soul as a spiritual heart, far exceeding in size our material bodies.
Information on how this can be achieved — is described in our books and showed in the films.

Call for Submissions
Indigenous and Local Knowledge on pollination and pollinators associated with food production
Deadline for Submissions: 10 October 2014
The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is conducting a global assessment on pollination and pollinators associated with food production[1]. In addition to scientific knowledge, this assessment is to be based on knowledge, observations and understandings of indigenous peoples and local communities.
If you know of projects or of publications dealing with indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) about plant pollinators such as birds, bats, lizards or insects like domestic/wild bees, butterflies or moths, then please let us know!
This world-wide Call for Submissions is addressed to indigenous peoples, local communities, ILK holders, ILK experts, natural and social scientists from developing and developed countries, beekeepers/honey producers and their organizations, and other relevant groups. You can contribute to the IPBES pollination assessment report by letting us know about:
- Past or on-going projects on indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) about pollinators, pollination and their relationships to food production. For example, this may include ILK about the pollination of local crops and wild food plants, or about pollinators as food producers (ex. honey produced by bees) or about pollinators as food (ex. birds, bats, insects as food);
- Scientific and grey literature on ILK about pollinators, pollination and/or their relationship to food production;
- ILK holders, researchers or other knowledgeable individuals who are or have been involved in projects on ILK about pollinators, pollination and/or their relationship to food production/consumption.
Useful information may include but are not limited to:
- Indigenous and local knowledge about pollinators, pollination networks and pollination services and how they contribute to the way of life of indigenous and local communities, and more generally to human well-being and the integrity of bio-cultural systems;
- Indigenous and local knowledge and observations of changes in the number of pollinators and its impact on agricultural and natural biological diversity and on communities that depend on natural resources for their livelihood/food security, including for medicinal use;
- Local observations and interpretations of risks to pollination and pollinators due to climate change, invasive species and diseases, land-use changes, changing agricultural practices and the use of chemicals, including fungicides and insecticides.
- Indigenous and local management practices that are relevant for pollinators and that contribute to their conservation.
- The contribution of indigenous and local knowledge and worldviews to non-economic valuation of impacts due to decreasing numbers and diversity of pollinators, and indigenous and local efforts to maintain or restore these services;
- Other issues of relevance.
Contributors may wish to refer to the official chapter outline for the pollination assessment that is available on page 70 of the Report of the Second Session of the Plenary of IPBES (IPBES-2/17).
International Workshop: A limited number of contributors (ILK holders or experts) will be invited to a Dialogue Workshop to be held late November or early December 2014 (location to be determined). The workshop will bring ILK holders and experts together with IPBES co-chairs and authors to enrich the Pollination Assessment Report. A further goal will be to engage ILK holders in IPBES processes and demonstrate the potential benefits and opportunities for their communities. Invited contributors will receive a modest grant to assist them with compiling ILK from their sites and networks.
All submissions will be reviewed by the IPBES Task Force on Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems. As the goal is to expand baseline information on this theme, please indicate on your submission form that the information you provide may be used and eventually published in the framework of the IPBES assessment or as a relevant Case Study. Please also indicate whether you would agree that your name be included in a list of experts.
As a fundamental principle of IPBES is respect for indigenous and local knowledge, submissions should not include secret, sacred or otherwise confidential knowledge without the free, prior and informed consent of the holders of that knowledge.
To make your submission please go here
For those who have problems filling the online form, you may download the form here.
For additional information, please contact the Technical Support Unit for the IPBES Task Force at links(at)unesco.org
This is the first of a series of periodic calls for submission by the IPBES Task Force on Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems.
[1] For biologists, the term 'pollination' describes a relationship between plants and animals as pollen vectors. Animals that visit flowers to eat or collect the food they provide (e.g. nectar, pollen) spread plant pollen from one flower to the next. This fertilizes the plant and triggers development of the fruit. While some peoples may describe this plant-animal interaction in similar terms, others may conceive of it differently, and still others may not acknowledge it at all. Regardless, all of these societies may possess indigenous and local knowledge that is of direct relevance to this IPBES assessment.Back to top

Today, I have written the post because we have designed mini brochure type creative business card.
Let's start, how we have started this project
In December, 2013, we have started our 3rd local marketing campaign by the flyer distribution. We were getting a good response from the campaign. We got numerous call from the clients at our office and then we discuss the project brief with them. After finalize the project scope of work we schedule a meeting with the client to a better understanding of their view for their project.
We have scheduled meeting with the client, who is interested in re-brand their 50 years old reputed company brand. In a meeting, they said, first they want to revamp their brand identity and make their visual presence. We have checked their existing brand identity and logo, as per the industry standards (Creative Logo Design Process), it was good and honestly suit to their industry. We have suggested them to start with the corporate brand identity design because their existing logo or brand identity is perfect. We have started to ask a few question to understand their business and their industry which is below:
iVory – Can you please brief us your business?
Client – We are manufacturing mechanical instruments and machines since 1960. The company looks after by their sons. They want to enhance their company presence so they want to re-design their logo and corporate identity in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
iVory – Okay, great. As per our earlier discussion, your company logo or brand identity is suit your business so we need to discuss the corporate brand identity design and brand identity design element, we have also discussed the 5 branding strategies to choose an effective brand name and then we show them a current work sample for the corporate brand identity design and brand identity design.
Client – Great, your work is really amazing. how do you start with corporate brand identity design project?
iVory – Thanks, In a corporate brand identity project, we will start with the brand theme design, it includes 2-3 brand design concept and then we will make Business Card, Letterhead, and Envelop design. Before starting a project, we need to understand your preferences or idea for the brand theme design.
Client – I have developed a first visiting card in 1960 and then modified it on 2005.
iVory – Ah really, do you have any sample for us?
Client – yes but I need a new creative design in it.
iVory – we have explained them a business card concept which is below –
Client – we know everything and now we need a creative business card from your company. Can you please show some corporate brand identity project related to our industry? We need to display our product and product photo so the user can get knowledge about us.
iVory – We show them a some recent work related to Corporate Branding. We can also try to understand their business card concept.
Client – I need to display product photo and title in the Business Card design.
iVory – Okay, we will provide you 3 sample of the business card and thereafter work upon the changes on selected business card. Let me explain our work style, we are not a traditional agency, we have divided the entire process into two steps which cost you individually means costing for designing and printing is different.
Client – ok, I am agreed on cost but I need a creative business card.
iVory – Okay, Thanks.
We have started working on the brand theme design concept and provided 3 conceptual brand theme. They have selected 1 theme and we have completed the project.
Do you think, in business card,
front page – we have added the company name, person name with the designation, highlight the business services in the front and the address.
back page – we have added the company logo, client's tagline, their sons name and 10 products pictures with the title.
How can you setup this much information in such a small amount of space? But we have made this happen with our creative hands.

Lockheed Martin is working on a capability that will map the electromagnetic spectrum using any system that has a radio frequency (RF) receiver as part of its primary function.
Radio Map networks together equipment so that any receiver in the field capable of monitoring the RF spectrum could be used to contribute to an overall picture of the spectrum, near real time, in the battlespace, Dr Mark Tracy, senior programme manager of advanced programmes of Rotary and Mission Systems for Lockheed Martin, told IHS Jane's.
"You are only limited by the types of devices you connect," he said. "The idea of having the ability to connect almost any receiver [is that] you are able to take advantage of economies of scale, so a given receiver may only be able to receive over a smaller frequency range of interest.
