Chapter One
Opening the Conversation
It was the summer of 2004, on a surpassingly beautiful day in Barcelona,
Spain. We were privileged to be attending the Parliament of the World's
Religions, where I (Joan)—as a scientist interested in consciousness
studies—had been invited to participate on a panel about prayer.
Perhaps the most fascinating session we attended at the Parliament was
a conversation about fundamentalism. The participants were Rabbi Michael
Lerner, a political activist and the editor of Tikkun magazine (tikkun
is a Hebrew word meaning "to heal and repair the world"; former
nun and respected writer on world religions Karen Armstrong; and female
Islamic scholar Kamah Kamaruzzaman.
Drawing on her seminal book The Battle for God, Armstrong discussed the
recent rise of virulent forms of fundamentalism in virtually all world
religions, characterizing it as a reaction to a soulless and technologically
driven Western worldview. Lerner described modernity itself as a form
of secular fundamentalism. The Islamic scholar Kamaruzzaman, who was the
last to speak, passionately affirmed that the way to transcend these two
competing yet interrelated fundamentalisms was for us to discover the
common ground of our shared humanity.
An awareness of that common ground can emerge from a special kind of spiritual
conversation that goes beyond external differences in belief. One of the
Sages whom you're about to meet in these pages, Father Thomas Keating,
convened an annual conference at St. Benedict's Monastery in Snowmass,
Colorado, in 1984, inviting participants from a variety of religious traditions
to converse in just such a special way. One of the basic tenets of the
Snowmass Conference is that participants speak from their tradition—sharing
their experiences of God or Ultimate Reality—but not for their tradition
in terms of dogma. This kind of dialogue is called interspiritual, and
it's a profound form of interfaith understanding and communication.
Interfaith conversations occur at two levels:
1. Externally, they focus metaphorically on the varieties of flowers in
the garden of faith and cultivating an appreciation for—or at least
a tolerance of—the differences among them.
2. Internally, they focus on a shared spirituality that transcends differences
in belief. These internal, interspiritual conversations reveal the common
ground out of which the diverse flowers grow and the sunlight, wind, and
water that nourishes them all.
In his beautiful book The Mystic Heart, Brother
Wayne Teasdale writes:
The real religion of humankind can be said to be spirituality itself,
because mystical spirituality is the origin of all the world religions.
If this is so, and I believe it is, we might also say that interspirituality—the
sharing of ultimate experiences across traditions—is the religion
of the third millennium. Interspirituality is the foundation that can
prepare the way for a planet-wide enlightened culture, and a continuing
community among the religions that is substantial, vital, and creative.1
The 15 spiritual leaders from the Snowmass Conference arrived at a consensus
on the principles of authentic interreligious conversation—principles
that you'll come to recognize as being interspiritual as you eavesdrop
on some of the highlights of the discussions we had with the Sages in
the pages that follow.
Father Thomas Keating outlined these guidelines in the book Speaking of
1) The world religions bear witness to the experience of the Ultimate
Reality to which they give various names: Brahman, the Absolute, God,
Allah, [the] Great Spirit, the Transcendent.
2) The Ultimate Reality surpasses any name or concept that can be given
to It.
3) The Ultimate Reality is the source (ground of being) of all existence.
4) Faith is opening, surrendering, and responding to the Ultimate Reality.
This relationship precedes every belief system.
5) The potential for human wholeness—or in other frames of reference,
liberation, self transcendence, enlightenment, salvation, transforming
union, moksha, nirvana, fana—is present in every human person.
6) The Ultimate Reality may be experienced not only through religious
practices but also through nature, art, human relationships, and service
to others.
7) The differences among belief systems should be presented as facts that
distinguish them, not as points of superiority.
8) In the light of the globalization of life and culture now in process,
the personal and social ethical principles proposed by the world religions
in the past need to be re thought and re expressed.2
The fourth basic principle—that "faith is opening, surrendering,
and responding to the Ultimate Reality" and the recognition that
this essential "relationship precedes every belief system"—is
a way of saying that guidance is available to all human beings.
A dinner conversation that we had with our friends Sara and Rachael spoke
to this guiding function of Ultimate Reality in a very down-to-earth way.
Recounting some of the startling synchronicities that had occurred during
the past year that had deepened her spiritual journey, Rachael—who's
petite, vivacious, and seriously smart—laughed and told us, "God
leaves bread crumbs to show us the way back home." In other words,
we can count on a beneficent force—like the prince's parents
in the Hymn of the Pearl from the Introduction—to help us find our
way to becoming more skillful, loving human beings.
But if we can rely on spiritual guidance to lead us to a realization of
our true identity, then how come the journey seems so difficult and the
road so long and so often disheartening? As Dr. Ed Bastian, another one
of our Sages, remarked with a laugh, "If we're the Buddha,
then how come we don't know it?"
Perhaps the reason for our ignorance is that there's a second variable
in the equation of spiritual growth (as the fourth principle of the Snowmass
Conference states): surrender to, and cooperation with, the force of guidance.
Surrender and cooperation aren't always easy. They entail letting
go of our own agenda and waiting patiently for the path to open step-by-step.
Releasing ourselves into the unknown can be scary. Most of us would rather
chart our own course if for no other reason than that it helps manage
fear. But letting go of the steering wheel and trusting in a greater compassionate
intelligence not only has the potential to be anxiety producing; it's
also paradoxical.
On the one hand, surrendering to guidance involves the bone-deep realization
that we're helpless—no matter how hard we try to control things,
we're ultimately not the sole author of our experience. On the other
hand, in some mysterious way entirely beyond the capacity of words or
rational thought to convey, we're one with the author of all experience.
The realization of that oneness is at the heart of the spiritual journey
and our ability to trust that a wisdom greater than our own is helping
us evolve.
The journey home to our true nature and to God-realization—which
are one and the same thing—has three parts according to Father Thomas
1. First, as the journey begins, there's a compelling experience
of a Mysterious Other.
2. Second, as we progress along the way, there's an effort to come
into union with that Mysterious Other.
3. Third, at the point of realization, we understand that there never
was an Other. Our own true Self—the answer to the question Who am
I?—is Ultimate Reality.3
If this sounds abstract, confusing, or heretical to you, you're
in good company. From the beginning of time, people have struggled to
find words for what can't be said but may only be realized in the
laboratory of the heart. Our hope is to make this all as transparent and
clear as we can, giving you the means for discerning your part in the
ongoing symphony of life.
Both of us, your humble authors, as longtime students of the world's
great wisdom traditions, are somewhat familiar with various theories and
stages of the spiritual journey. But there's an enormous chasm between
head knowledge—the rational concepts we have about things—and
direct, embodied experience. The former is like a menu that describes
what we could experience; the latter is the actual meal, which can only
be appreciated when tasted. When rational thought gives way to direct
experience, the events of daily life become a revelation and a mystical,
mythical journey—whether (as you'll read about in the next
chapter) spiritual guidance comes dressed in a robe of glory or in the
rags of stress and disappointment.
Interview Questions
Your Soul's Compass: What is Spiritual Guidance?
Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. and Gordon Dveirin, Ed.D.
1. There are a lot of books being
written today about spiritual subjects. What makes this one different?
Many of today's "spiritual" books are concerned with self-centeredness
and getting the goods—how you get what you want. Spiritual guidance,
on the other hand, is about tuning into a greater intelligence and willing
the good rather than the goods. Rather than focusing your intention on
what you want, it is a matter of tuning into what Life wants. When you
do that, two things follow. You find inspiration and peace personally,
and you're more effective in bringing forth the best possibilities for
others—your family, your friends and co-workers, our world. When
you get out of the box of "I, me, and mine" it's remarkable
how a greater wisdom shows up to guide you.
2. What prompted you to write about spiritual
We are living in dangerously polarized times—science versus religion;
one religion against another; politicians who believe that they are divinely
guided; terrorists who make the same claim. The credibility of external
authorities, from corporations to nations to religious leaders is at a
low ebb and many people feel disoriented and disheartened. So the question
arises, how do we as individuals and groups find our bearings? How do
we set our moral, political, economic, and personal compass in a way that
optimizes the good?
3. What is the soul's compass? Is it different from a moral compass?
The soul's compass is magnetically attracted to the True North of the
heart's loving intelligence, which is a dynamic relationship to a greater
reality that is the Source of all being. When we're in touch with that
Source, the soul's compass becomes a moral compass, an economic compass,
a social compass, and an overall guide to an intelligent, illuminated
life. Whether you're a mother or a father, a sports fisherman or a singer,
a student or a corporate executive, you've had the experience of everything
coming together in a way that felt right, harmonious, and whole. It's
like something greater…a tremendous aliveness... is moving through
you and all is well with the world. You're centered, present, effective,
and kind. That's spirituality in action, and it arises moment by moment
from our connection to that greater reality which enfolds us.
4. You interviewed 27 Sages—respected
leaders from diverse religious or spiritual traditions to help you understand
the soul's compass and how using it opens you to spiritual guidance. What
did you ask them about?
We asked our Sages who were male and female Christians, Jews, Quakers,
Buddhists, Sufis, Hindus, shamans, and even two poets--12 questions. We
wanted to know how they defined spiritual guidance, what their personal
experience of it was like, what blocks it, what encourages it, what the
role of doubt is, how community helps or hinders it, what they thought
we're evolving toward as individuals and as a world, and what they would
tell world leaders if they had that opportunity. One of they key questions
we asked was how to tell the difference between spiritual guidance and
your ego's wants and desires on the one hand, and the beliefs and opinions
of the group you belong to on the other.
5. How do you tell the difference between spiritual
guidance and your own ego?
One of the Sages, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, laughed when we asked
that question and quipped that if we could answer it he would become our
disciple. In other words, it's hard to know sometimes who's talking—your
wants and fears or a Higher Power--and there are no foolproof formulas
for being sure. On the other hand, there are certain metrics (measuring
tools) that can help. Every religion has practices that help people orient
to the good. St. Paul enumerated nine fruits of the Spirit including qualities
like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness which are a wonderful
help to discernment. Where's the love in this choice? Where's the peace?
So, if you're trying to discern whether it's God or some other force urging
you to blow yourself up and take out a busload of tourists with you, your
decision would fail the test of love and kindness. If what you think is
guidance is marked by anger, fear, hurry, or worry, that's a message to
go back to the drawing board. Haste, we learned, is poisonous to guidance
whereas patience courts it. As the Quakers say, there's an inner light
within each one of us, but there's a lot of other stuff, too. But as you
practice discernment, little by little you get to know the voice of your
ego or false self, and your true Self, your connection to Source. We focused
a great deal on discernment in Your Soul's Compass because it is the vital
bridge that unites faith with reason.
6. You characterize your book as an interspiritual
dialogue. Is that the same as inter-religious?
Spirituality and religion are related, but different. Religion has been
defined as a bridge to the spiritual, which sometimes succeeds and sometimes
fails. But the spiritual lies beyond religion. If you ask a spiritual
person—whether they are religious or not—to share their lived
experience of Ultimate Reality or God (whatever they call Wisdom or the
Source of Being)—they meet on common ground. Religions are like
islands that, when seen from the surface, appear separate with deep gulfs
dividing them. But when we descend to the depths—how they connect
us to the Source of Being--it's clear that they all arise from that same
Source. The late Brother Wayne Teasdale, who was both a Catholic monk
and a Hindu monk, called these depths interspirituality. He believed that
dialogue about our most deeply felt spiritual experience could pave the
way for developing what he called a global civilization with a heart.
7. Trusting the unknown is a theme you return
to many times in Your Soul's Compass. Since most of us are frightened
by the unknown and go to great lengths to avoid it, why should we court
Fundamentally, because what we think we know is often the cause of our
ignorance. The veil of the past, of memory, often hides from us the fresh,
new, and surprising revelations of the present moment. When that happens
we mistake the menu for the meal, or the map for the territory. One of
our Sages, Swami Adiswarananda, a Hindu monk in his eighties, called life
The Great Adventure. But you can't have an adventure if you already know
everything. That's called a rerun. The spiritual journey begins when,
as the Swami says, a crack appears in the wall of your knowing. That crack
might be an illness that radically shifts your priorities, a financial
reversal that forces you to reorganize your life, or falling in love.
It lets in new light, unknown possibilities. The fact is that life wasn't
created as a done deal. It changes moment by moment even when we're hanging
onto the status quo by our fingernails. Surrendering to the mystery of
the unknown, to the continuous evolution of Spirit, encourages curious,
open engagement with life. Rather than skimming along the surface like
sleep walkers, adventurers wake up to the depths. Like an indigenous person
on a vision quest, the person seeking spiritual guidance has to be in
a threshold stance— alert, responsive, and open to the possibilities
of the moment.
8. If we're continuously evolving, what are
we evolving to?
What a great question! We asked the Sages the same thing. What would a
fully developed, or at least a more fully developed, human being look
like? We would certainly be more kind, creative, and a lot less self-involved.
But to find out who we really are at both a secular and a spiritual level
we have to be free inside. We know what it is to be free externally, but
interior freedom is just as important. After all, you can be at home in
your living room, warm and well fed, but still a prisoner of the stories
you tell yourself about life. As Reverend Cynthia Bourgeault, one of our
Sages put it, changing one letter transforms the closed box of "my
story" into the open field of "mystery." That transformation
brings us into present time—this moment. Not the one just past,
not the one yet to come, not the one that happened 20, 30, 40, 1000, or
2000 years ago. We may not be able to see very far down the road of our
own evolution, but we can see the next step as it opens in front of us.
So is there a goal that we're evolving to? In the most practical sense,
it's to be here now as willing channels of what one mystic called "the
creativity of the heart."
9. Do you offer the reader any practical tools
for following spiritual guidance?
Yes we do, and many have to do with being present. This requires cultivating
a quiet mind. We live in such a noisy world, filled with distractions
and bright lights—both inside ourselves and in the outside world
of chatter, busyness and information overload. We have to learn how to
dim those lights if we are to connect to the stars of the Great Mystery
that can guide us. Meditation, yoga, chi gong, walking in nature, sitting
in beauty. All these are portals to the present that invite a quiet mind.
Paying attention to the body is also a key. Check in with yourself. If
you're feeling tense and contracted, you're more available to your noisy
ego than to the still, small voice. On the other hand, when your body
feels relaxed, peaceful, open, and receptive there's more availability
to wisdom. Just monitoring your body several times a day and stretching
if you're tense or taking a walk helps quiet the mind and creates more
openness to guidance.
10. Joan and Gordon, you're husband and wife.
How did writing this book together affect your relationship?
Writing this book was first and foremost about listening. We spent a great
deal of time listening to the Sages we interviewed, listening again to
the recordings, silently reviewing the notes and finally—most deliciously—listening
to each other as we conversed about the common threads of what we were
hearing and the insights coming alive for us. Through this, we centered
ourselves in what felt like a living community of inquiry focused on vital
spiritual questions such as Who are we? And Why are we here? that continue
to engage us as we hope they will our readers. This process of inquiry--this
great adventure—makes our marriage extraordinarily exciting and
meaningful as we grow together. Of course, writing a book is also trying
at times. Our styles, our interpretive and expressive modes, are very
different and we had to reconcile them to create a unified work. But what
brought us back together, time after time, was our shared love of the
truth. That's what spiritual guidance is all about—listening, being
present, inquiring into what emerges, discerning, and finally acting compassionately
in a way that enhances the freedom and dignity of one's self and others.

Jogging a business on the electronic age needs a major amount of producing.
There is your site . Your blog page . Social websites posts. Revenue duplicate. Ads. Visitor posts. The record goes on. Who's likely to do all of that crafting?
And there's far more. There is key word homework, online search engine optimization (Search engine optimization), enhancing, publishing, and distribution. Have you been likely to get 15 or 20 hours outside of your week to perform all of that ? It seems not likely. What exactly do you think you're planning to do ?
It's time for you to choose a writer.
Why it is important to hire a writer?
In a nutshell, basically because producing is hard.
High-quality subject material composing sales opportunities to raised lead technology , more successful gross sales duplicate, and improved via the internet visibility. Adverts, brochures, and catalogs all profit from the skilled professional writer. Employing a contract writer to craft technological documentation, push releases, and promotional duplicate makes a giant change in how your clients see you.
Setting up top-notch duplicate is extremely frustrating. A large amount of of our private website posts take 5 or even more hours to jot down, edit, and publish. Engaging in that all by yourself 3 times per week indicates 15 several hours within your time is long gone. That is time which could be spent providing, making connections, or putting together your staff .
Which is exactly why you will need to rent a writer.
A lot more goes in the articles and other content selling procedure. Key word explore, strategizing, doing Seo, distributing your posts, and establishing back links can take time and effort. Does one have enough time for all of that? And if you do, think you're confident which you could develop subject material that is pertinent, handy, and positively world-class in top notch ?Otherwise, it is time to outsource creating to a skilled professional.
What using the services of a writer can do in your business
Publishing high-quality, advantageous help and advice provides readers in your webpage, displays them the worth of your respective product, and aids flip them into loyal potential customers. You present a specific thing to them – important info – and so they give again to you – by selecting your products or services .
So you can in fact measure how precious that is. We wrote a detailed publish on how we evaluate the ROI of our private written content promoting to help you do the very same.
Ideas on how to retain writers
Since you recognize wherever to get writers for retain , it is time for you to seek the services of an individual. You may think that you choose to just notify them the things they should do, they do it , and you simply spend. However, it is not that easy. Right here undoubtedly are a couple good reasons why:
- You have quite a lot of fantastic writers around
- Not all writers are acquainted with information promotion and Website positioning
- Numerous writers won't have the fashion or tone you're wanting for
Fortunately, as soon as you go in with this expertise, the process is far much simpler. Freelance marketplaces, like Hubstaff or Upwork, allow you article your employment and invite freelancers https://www.emailcopywritingservices.net to precise their desire . Writers then location a bid to the work or send out you a proof of why they'd become a high quality choice .
After that, it's up to you to kind by using a (potentially extraordinarily vast) range of candidates and slash the list right down to a handful. You'll need to seem at their profiles, web pages , and portfolios. And after that, it is most effective to own them do a check venture. This lets you see what kind of crafting they will develop to suit your needs.
And after that, ultimately , you can easily use your writer .
All this needs time, but receiving the best writer for your personal business is really worth the expenditure. Particularly when you will build a long-term marriage. Don't think that you'll have got a freelancer write one particular issue and be completed – if you should notice an individual who does very good give good results, working with them often might be tremendously treasured .

Wed 2 Jan 2013
uneasy rest (Film: The Human Resources Manager – Eran Riklis, 2010)
Posted by Dan Romascanu under movies
No Comments
The Hebrew name of the film is a little longer than the one chosen by the distributors for the English version. It reads 'The Mission of the Human Resources Manager' and actually the word used is 'shlihut' which has a wider significance – it means not only mission, but also the acts of performing an important duty, or of being a messenger for important news. The news in this case are about a death, but the film touches only marginally the reasons and the absurdity of that death, and deals more about how the people who remained in life cope with the disappearance and how this impacts their lives – including the one of the messenger.
Based on a novel of AB Yehoshua the film tells the story of the aftermath of a terror attack, one of these crazy suicidal acts that took place during the second intifada about a decade ago. One of the victims of the attack is identified quite lately as a Romanian woman working a manual job in a bakery in the town. A beautiful woman whose face we know only from a photo and later from a short film made on a phone, whose body nobody came to claim or identify because she was one of the thousand of foreign workers who come to Israel and perform hard and low paid works nobody else wants to do in order to support their families back home. The duty to take the coffin with the body home to Romania, and try to compensate the family there falls on the manager of the human resources (the absurdity of the terminology is so well exposed by this film), a man who has problems of his own – solidly acted by Mark Ivanir, an actor I did not notice until now – he works more for the TV and games industry in the US, here he gets an opportunity to make a serious role in an Israeli film, and does it fine. What results is a trip in unknown territory for the Jerusalemite clerk and the journalist accompanying him (Guri Alfi, better known here as a stand-up comedian), a clash not only of two different cultures and but also of different approaches to life and death.
(video source potentialfilm)
The film is not bad, but it's a missed opportunity. Made in 2010, a year when both the Romanian and Israeli films industry were riding high on waves of success, it could have brought together some of the best in the two schools of cinematography – the Israeli dramatic school of political cinema which after decades of avoiding the tough questions raised by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict succeeded in a few film that take a sharp and uncompromising look at the issues and the Romanian minimalist realism which looks back to the Communist era and the transition that followed, and also to the contemporary chaotic situation in Romania not only with anger, but also with humor and especially with human understanding. Amazingly, director Eran Riklis' style and place in the Israeli cinema fits rather well the Romanian cinema style. The problem lies in the folklorist approach taken in dealing with the Romanian reality. If the Israeli team would have taken a local director as consultant, they could have maybe avoided some of the stereotypes of the script. I should say that the Romanian actors do their best to fill in the holes of the story on this respect, but this is not always enough. Even so, it's a pleasure to see great actors like Irina Petrescu (a Romanian legend) or Gila Almagor who can be considered as her Israeli counterpart on the same cast (although they never meet on screen). And more than all, this is the last and final role in the career of Rozina Cambos. Despite its flaws Riklis' film has enough good parts to make for an interesting viewing.

Courts Will Decide Fate of Prized Rainbow Trout Lake in Canada
Corbett Lake is known for its large rainbow trout.
The lake, adjacent to the Okanagan Connector near Merritt in British Columbia, however, hasn't been open to anglers in years. The owner of the Corbett Lake Lodge closed off the lake to public access, and the Nicola Valley Fish & Game Club think it should be accessible.
"He fenced off the public access and put up no trespassing signs and everybody thought that was a legal thing to do but in fact it wasn't," says club spokesperson Rick McGowan. "It's a public road and you can't close a public road without going through the highways road closure process, which has never happened."
The club, according to McGowan, has legal documents attesting to the point. Club members ice-fished on Corbett Lake in the past year. The ice-fishing outings results in some club members being charged with criminal mischief. they were ordered by the court to stay away from the lake.
According to an owner of the Corbett Lake Lodge, via an advertisement in the Merritt Herald newspaper, the provincial government says the land around the lake is private property. This, according to the advertisement, gives the owners the right to restrict public access.
Corbett Lake isn't the only body of water the Nicola Valley Fish & Game Club claims is being illegally blocked by owners. They say the Douglas Lake Ranch has closed off access to two fishing lakes south of Kamloops.
McGowan says the club is looking forward to heading to court and that private individuals from around the province have donated more than $100,000 to help fund the club and its legal efforts.

Letter Writing Part 2: Envelope Flair
Hello all, and welcome back to our Letterwriting Series! This week we'll be talking about {and gushing over} vintage stamps, pretty washi tapes, and custom return address stamps - all elements that can add some fun flair to your envelopes! Keep scrolling to get some pretty and practical letter adorning inspiration!
Vintage postage stamps are a beautiful way to dress up any envelope, whether it be wedding invites or just a little happy mail for a friend. When choosing which stamps to use {and trust us, you'll want them all} try choosing styles that share a similar theme or similar colors - you'll always need more than one per envelope because the cost of posting a letter has increased, so have fun trying different combinations! {and don't forget - it takes $.49 to send a standard letter!} We like to purchase our stamps from Darling One's shop on Etsy, but you can find them in other places online or even at your local vintage shops!
A fun piece of wash tape is a super easy way to add some pizzaz to your envelopes and letters - you really can't go wrong! The word "washi" is Japanese for "paper", and that's exactly what this tape is - it's a very light, thin paper with an adhesive backing. You can now find washi tape in full sheets as well as rolls of both solid and patterned paper tape, so you can punch out some fun shapes to adorn an envelope or just add a strip to the back flap for a subtle touch.

St. Johnsbury.
Upon returning from Burlington, my brother and I met up with my parents and took a stroll through downtown St. Johnsbury, where my Memere lives. Its main drag is lined with historic buildings populated with small shops and boutiques.
Look! A random table and chair!
We ventured to my favorite bookstore in St. J, Boxcar & Caboose. In front of the bookstore stood a gathering of pre-teens singing hits from the sixties. Also in front of the bookstore stood a middle-aged lady still high from the sixties dancing and singing along with the aforementioned pre-teens. While her slurred speech was somewhat tricky to decipher, it's safe to say she was reliving the good times while simultaneously scaring the children. That's what we call entertainment, folks.
We maneuvered past the chorus and the crazy and I honed in on exactly what I was looking for in the beloved Boxcar & Caboose:
A book by Stephen Huneck, a man who was a local children's author and illustrator. This is now Caleb's favorite book.
We elbowed our way past crazy lady once again and continued our stroll. And then my feet started to hurt. And then I realized I was wearing really horrible shoes for walking. I could feel the blisters desperately trying to make an appearance, so I plopped down in the nearest random outdoor chair I could find (not nearly as plushy as the aforementioned random-chair) and my brother photographed me looking pathetic.
I was just desperate enough to maybe buy a new pair of shoes, so I ducked into one of the local shoe boutiques, saw that their cheapest pair of shoes was a cool $80, and promptly ducked back out. That was precious money I could be spending on Dunkin' Donuts, so I endured the blisters.
We meandered back to the car (with a few minutes still left on the meter--booyah!) and I blissfully stretched out in the back seat, giving my feet a rest. We headed out of St. J to the nearby town (township? village? cluster of houses?) of Passumpsic, to eat dinner with my Uncle Jim and Aunt Sheri in their perfect old farmhouse.
Old chimneys, old windows, wood floors, tons of history ... perfect. And this is their perfect backyard:
(My Mom and her twin, probably pointing out the perfect waterfall beneath the perfect bank that descends from their perfect yard.)
(I'm slightly jealous of her house.)
We sat on the backyard in the perfect evening air and enjoyed the perfection of being together.
The night was complete with a perfect bowl of cherries.
We ate dinner, talked for a long time, and then headed back to the hotel to get ready for the next day's big event: Memere's 90th birthday party.
Have a lovely day.
(A perfect stained-glass tree in their perfect window.)

It's Coming, I Promise.
I know, I know, this is supposed to be another installment of my Vermont trip. Just hang in there with me a bit. I got hit with the pregnancy blues this past weekend and I've been trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps for the past few days. I'm feeling better, but I'm not a fan of what I'm assuming are hormone surges that suddenly make me a sobby, lethargic mess.
Sobby, lethargic mess. Oy, how pathetic!
But, how telling. Really.
I just tell myself that the baby had growth spurt. Overly Emotional = Hormone Surge = Growth Spurt. Totally makes sense, right?
All that to say, raising babies and fostering relationships and keeping up le maison has taken up most of time. I have a lot of faith that my creativity hormone will surge soon, so don't lose hope.
Until then, pass the chocolate milk.
Have a lovely day, friends!

After finishing the three hour trek, we climbed out of the car, got lots of kisses from Memere and my Aunties, and enjoyed an evening of catching up and crying and the like. It was so sweet to see them again. My brother had flown in and we caught up, too.
Then we went to bed. And woke up. And it was the third day.
My brother had a business meeting at Seventh Generation headquarters in Burlington, Vermont, and kindly asked them if I could attend, since he knows I am a huge fan of their products and their mission. I was slightly ridiculously giddy.
It also meant an hour in the car with my brother, which, twenty years ago, would have meant certain death for one of us. But now that we are growed up and like each other, it was great.
There is basically one way to Burlington from St. Johnsbury and that one way was jammed with construction traffic. I felt this gentleman's pain.
We made it to the lobby of 7G (as my brother, who is so much cooler than I, referred to it) with a minute to spare. We were kindly greeted, offered water, and then given a tour of the facility.
Y'all. I was in heaven.
If you want to talk about environmental sustainability, these guys are hardcore. Every last employee is encouraged and motivated to create personal goals to make choices that positively impact the environment. They even compost in the office kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused and I definitely got the impression that these guys are passionate about making products that are effective and environmentally responsible. A tricky task in the face of the ammonia our moms used to mop our kitchen floors.
I can't go into detail about the meeting, but I can tell you that I was able to meet some higher-ups who were kind, intelligent, and engaging. As I wolfed down my organic blueberry muffin and dug through the bowl of fresh strawberries they had setting out for us, I nodded emphatically at some of their suggestions. And I'm sure I blushed like a dork when they asked for my input on a few things. If they were just being nice in doing so, then so be it! They are nice!
They even gave us each a 7G (woot) Klean Kanteen and notepad. Delightful.
Since I did not want to be a mega-creeper and photograph their entire facility (I'm sure my camera would have been kindly confiscated), I only snapped a few of the atrium inside the facility. It was bright and cheery and very much representative of my visit there.
I wish I could go into more detail, but I will just tell you this: I'm more convinced than ever that this is an intentional, authentic company with goals that trickle down from product manufacturing to personal trash cans. They know what they're doing, and they're doing it right.
Next up: The rest of Vermont!
Have a lovely day.

New Hampshire.
While on the road to Vermont, we survived primarily on these:
I blame my Dunkin' Donuts obsession on my Mom. The must-have combo of an old-fashioned donut with a cup of joe, two creams two sugars ... it's all her fault. And I love her for it. Krispy Kremes? Pleh. Unfortunately, KK is all we have around here in OK and fortunately, I don't indulge.
Anyway. Where was I? Oh yes. The road.
We left Maine behind us and drove through the lovely birth state of my brother: New Hampshire. I hung out the window and took a picture of this as we sped by:
And this:
And then stopped taking pictures because holding the camera while in motion was making me car sick. The views were breathtaking and a stop for a hike would have been wonderful, but we were on a bit of a time schedule and had to hurry.
Well, except for one quick stop for lunch. Because man cannot live on Dunkin' Donuts alone, shocking as it is. We exited for Littleton and parked in front of this church:
After fishing around in our pockets for more change to feed the parking meter (why, WHY did we forget that all of New England is metered parking?), we locked up the rental and stretched our legs down the main street of downtown Littleton, New Hampshire.
What I noticed first were the gorgeous flowers bursting to life up and down the street. In dry Oklahoma, everything is dead, including our poor evergreen that Cub refers to as his "Christmas Tree". So the punches of color were actually quite shocking, and a very welcomed sight, too.
Downtown Littleton is wonderfully eclectic. Old buildings, new boutiques, and the personality of a small town make it very inviting. I like Littleton.
I took the following picture because a picture of the sign was the only thing I could afford. I didn't torture myself by actually stepping foot into the boutique.
This next sign was a little more up my ally, but, unfortunately, it was not Sunday when we were there. On the banks of the Ammonoosuc River? Sweet!
One of the wonderfully unique and purposeful things that I witnessed while in LNH was this splendid array of brightly decorated pianos lining Main Street, all bearing the same logo: Be Glad, Make Music. Any passerby could hop on a bench and start playing and we had the pleasure of viewing such a sight. It was awesome.
And, while the flowers were breathtaking and the pianos were inspiring, we really had one singular goal for stopping in Littleton:
There is nothing flashy or spectacular about this diner, except that it is delicious and it's been around forever. My parents used to frequent this place when they lived in St. Johnsbury (Vermont), since Littleton is just a hop skip and a jump away. I was happy that they took me to a place where they had history. And a place that served such a great burger.
I'd like to say I was lady-like and ate the universal female-approved half-portion, but I was not. I ate the entire burger and most of the onion rings. But, I drank water, so that should count for something right?
After dabbing our mouths with our napkins and thanking our waitress, we hit the pavement once again and headed back to the car. We climbed in, bid adieu to Littleton and its offerings, and journeyed the final small stretch of road to our ultimate destination: Vermont.
Have a lovely day.
Thursday, August 18, 2011
I think it's appropriate to give you a bit of a history regarding my love affair with the Northeast. My Mom is from Vermont and her siblings and mother still live there. We first came to Vermont when I was four and we've visited every few years since then, so much so that this part of the country is very dear to me. Even though I was born in California and spent twelve years there, I would rather bring my husband and my kids to New England, because I have such a strong family identity there.
So, let's begin. Maine.
I do not remember the first time I came to Maine (a visit to Maine usually accompanied our visits to Vermont), but I do remember the first time we visited York, Maine. I was in high school and wore a faded green Boondogs shirt (my favorite garage band at the time). There is a picture of me, somewhere, stuffing lobster in my mouth while wearing that shirt. I fell in love with York in that short visit.
Since then, we've made it a point to come back, whenever we fly to New England. This year was no different. My parents and I flew into Boston, rented our car, hopped on the freeway, and headed straight to York. Our first stop? Fox's Lobster House. Our favorite.
The bibs are so catchy.
I ate all of my lobster, a bowl of clam chowder, more than a few bites of my Dad's haddock, and the homemade coleslaw. Needless to say, after a day of flying and a fair share of driving, the baby was NOT happy to see all of that richness slide into my tummy, and I promptly lost it when we got to our hotel room. But, was it worth it? Yes. Yes it was.
The next morning we drove to the seaport side of the town and ate breakfast at the place we always eat breakfast whilst in York: The Purple Palace. The fig waffles alone are worth the flight.
We ventured around downtown, picking up some classy souvenirs along the way (no, I did not buy this hat, although I do find it to be quite fetching, don't you?).
One of our favorite stops is Goldenrod Kisses, an old-fashioned candy store and diner. They make their own taffy and fudge, so we felt compelled to stock up. You know, support the local economy and such. Their sea pebbles, which are chocolate candies, are delicious. They also carry Stonewall Kitchen delicacies. Their pepper jelly is quite wonderful. Stonewall Kitchens is actually located in York, which makes me love York all the more, since I am a huge Stonewall fan here in Oklahoma. Do y'all ever do that cream cheese party hors d'oeuvre where you dump a jar of jelly/jam/etc. on a cube of cream cheese and eat it with crackers? Maybe? Anyway, Stonewall is my favorite brand of "fancy" jelly for my version of "poor man's caviar"!
Then, it was beach time.
(Aren't my parents cute?)
One of my favorite things about Maine is its wild beauty. And that wild beauty runs straight to the sea. Spending my childhood in SoCal where the desert meets the sea, it was always amazing to me to see fields of wildflowers brush right up against the beaches in Maine. Its untamed wilds are gorgeous, really.
We walked the beach and drank in that strong, salty smell of the Atlantic. With the sun on my face, I closed my eyes and imagined the day I will bring my kids here. I can see it--sandy swimsuits, fingers sticky from saltwater taffy. I can't wait.
With the parking meter running low, we loaded up the car, blew a kiss to our favorite vacation state, and started the three hour trek to Vermont.
Have a lovely day.

Dahl School of Business
Mentorship Program
A Special Opportunity for Personal and Professional Growth!
The Dahl School of Business Mentor Program provides our students with an invaluable opportunity for personal and professional development through the support of mentors. The program lasts about six months -- from November to April each year. Participation in the Mentorship Program allows our students to connect with professionals who value a college education and want to share their knowledge and experience with students. This invaluable opportunity is often the edge that employers are looking for upon entering the job market after graduation.
Our Aim
This program is designed to increase learning and further professional development through matching one of our students with a business professional who will offer "real world" insight and learning opportunities. Although each mentor relationship will be unique and produce different outcomes, our goal is for the mentor relationship to include:
- An opportunity for each student to seek counsel and ask questions related to life as a professional in a safe and supportive context.
- A learning experience based on the discussions and life experience, insights, and knowledge of the mentor.
- Assistance in establishing, defining personal and professional goals, and the strategies to achieve them.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --Local residents fighting a high rise project met to rally support for a new building ordinance. The people who met at Poe Elementary School want two developers to scrap their high rise project near the museum district. The city is looking at an ordinance that would restrict high density development, and that could torpedo this high rise project.
"So if we're hopeful that if this ordinance gets passed and has the effect that we hope it does, that they may be willing to come back and talk to us realistically," said Chris Amandes who opposes the high rise.
The Ashby High Rise project developers agreed to halt the project for 90 days until those involved can provide input on the proposed ordinance.

Still hot, but with shorter hair

How's this for another economic indicator:
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - Economic forecasters beware: Japanese women are cutting their hair again.
Women tend to wear their hair long when Japan's economy is doing well and short when there is a slump, the Nikkei business daily reported, citing a survey conducted by Japanese cosmetics company Kao Corp.

LEGO Star Wars will soon return to Cartoon Network with The Yoda Chronicles, a new Star Wars story told in three animated specials. The first 30-minute special titled "The Phantom Clone" will premiere on Wednesday, May 29 at 8pm ET/PT on CN, with the second and third installments airing later this year.

The special will also introduce Jek 14, an all-new original clone character who has been "enhanced" by the Force. The Simpsons' Michael Price wrote the script.
The Yoda Chronicles marks the first time entirely new Star Wars characters and vehicles have been created specifically for LEGO Star Wars. Building sets related to the special and featuring Jek 14 will be available in August.

Jaguars | Leonard Fournette scores again
Sun, 24 Sep 2017 09:35:40 -0700
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette rushed for 59 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. He also caught three passes for 21 yards during the game.
Fournette has recorded a rushing touchdown in each of the first three games this season and will continue to be a big factor in the team's offense. He will have a favorable matchup next week against the New York Jets and should be at least a No. 2 running back for owners.

Safe, Convenient, and Affordable Lab Testing: Get Your Lab Results Quickly!
Laboratory testing will help you find out more information about any underlying issues or problems that may be causing you symptoms that inhibit weight loss or prevent you from living a healthy, active lifestyle. We offer doctor approved lab testing that will uncover the cause of your symptoms so that you can treat them holistically with natural remedies like HCG drops or raspberry ketones. Instead of covering up your symptoms with medication, our focus is on providing remedies that will help your body heal so that you can eliminate those symptoms from your daily life.
Why is Laboratory Testing Important to Treating Health Conditions?
Laboratory testing will help you determine any contributing factors that may be affecting your mental and physical health. Your digestive system can affect and be affected by neurotransmitter function, adrenal function, parasites, and more. If you are experiencing troubling symptoms, we recommend that you undergo laboratory testing to properly identify any problems that may be inhibiting you from living life to the fullest. If you have been having trouble with weight loss, we can give you the tools and resources that you need to begin the HCG diet with our professional strength HCG drops, and we also offer several other health remedies to help you maintain good overall health.
About Health Remedies At-Home Laboratory Testing
Health Remedies offers at home laboratory testing so that you can immediately begin taking control of your health. You can choose the test that you feel is best for you, or we can help you choose the right test based on your symptoms. We offer lab tests from companies such as Metametrix, Genova, Diagnostechs, LabCorp, ZRT, Doctors Data, and more. These tests do not require a doctor's order. Instead, you can simply take the laboratory test in the comfort of your own home at your convenience, and you will receive your results as soon as your tests are evaluated by a laboratory professional.
How to Take an At-Home Laboratory Test
Our laboratory testing will analyze your saliva, urine, or blood, and you can collect these specimens and mail them to the lab. Blood test strips require that you make a trip to your local laboratory office, but saliva and urine samples can be mailed from your home or office. Phone consultations with a nurse practitioner are also available for most tests to review your results.
At Health Remedies, our mission is to help you achieve the optimal body weight either through the HCG diet with our HCG drops or through a number of other methods. With a nurse practitioner available to discuss all of your options with you, you will receive the necessary support to help you make the best decision for your body.
When you are ready to order your laboratory testing, contact us to discuss the appropriate tests or to choose your test from the list of options to begin the testing process.
Lab kits can not be refunded or exchanged. Lab kits do have expirations dates. We recommend using the kits within 6 months of purcahse.
Lab prices may changed or be discontinued without prior notice.
Have Insurance?
Insurance may cover your testing. In order to submit your lab test for insurance coverage you must have a in office or phone consultation with one of our practitioners so they can determine your diagnosis and other information required for the lab to submit to your insurance company.
HMO"s and Medicaid are not accepted. Call 800 385-7863 for more information.

The objective of product/market fit is to maximize your business's ability to gain customers and generate revenue. The worth of your business isn't strictly the value of its product, or even a multiple of its profit (more about that in another post). But it sure helps when thousands of people want to pay tons of money for what you are offering them, and this is why product/market fit is so important to the worth of your business.
How do we identify a good product/market fit?
Example: Mobile phone services display an excellent example of a good product/market fit, considering that many households in the United States are willing to pay upwards of $200 or more per month ($2400/yr — the price of a car lease or a small mortgage) for cellular service.
First, pick a large enough community of people who will pay you "enough" to solve a problem or perform a service for them. In the mobile phone service case above, it might be all individuals in the United States that have an annual income of, say, $15,000 or more. This can be expressed as the Total Addressable Market for the entire group of buyers that you consider to be in a position to purchase a solution such as yours. It should be possible to calculate the size of your Total Addressable Market in both units and in dollars.
Second, we look for an essential job to be done in the Total Addressable Market, or a pain that has to be relieved.
Example: Sending documents to business associates is a great example of a need that has emerged in a digital work world. That is why spreadsheets sent through email, or more recently, docs posted on Dropbox or Google docs have great product/market fit. They have a high degree of utility, and the need is ubiquitous.
Third, make sure the person who makes the purchasing decision is the one you consider your customer (and this is not necessarily the end user). It can be easy to mistake a user for a customer, if your user is the one who has a need for your product, but someone else has to pay for it. Find the person who typically makes the decision to pay.
Next, identify the customer's problems or barriers to getting the job done or relieving the pain. What other options does your customer have? If you can offer the best option at a perceived lower cost than comparable solutions, you may have a great product/market fit.
How can we predict whether we'll have good product/market fit for a product that hasn't been introduced yet?
We get out of the building and ask prospective customers open ended questions about the value of performing a service or resolving a pain, and we look for adjacent pains that may be worth more to solve than even the one we had in mind when we started. We want to identify the problems that are worth the most to solve. Then we take the most valuable solution concept out to the market in interviews, on web sites, in presentations and in minimum viable product forms. We test and refine the value proposition for our particular product until we can confirm that at least 40% of prospective customers would have severe displeasure (and their lives would be significantly impacted) if the product was never introduced or it was taken away from them. When you hit that 40% magic number in your research, then start coding because you have identified a solution with a good potential product/market fit.
Can you improve the product/market fit for your app, in a quantifiable way? Check in with us to find out.

A magical debut novel from Rita Leganski, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is the tale of a mute boy whose gift of wondrous hearing reveals family secrets and forgotten voodoo lore, and exposes a murder that threatens the souls of those who love him.
Bonaventure Arrow didn't make a peep when he was born, and the doctor nearly took him for dead. But he was listening, placing sound inside quiet and gaining his bearings. By the time he turns five, he can hear flowers grow, a thousand shades of blue, and the miniature tempests that rage inside raindrops. He also hears the voice of his dead father, William Arrow, mysteriously murdered by a man known only as the Wanderer.
Exploring family relics, he opens doors to the past and finds the key to a web of secrets that both hold his family together, and threaten to tear them apart.
Set against the backdrop of 1950s New Orleans, The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow is a magical story about the lost art of listening and a wondrous little boy who brings healing to the souls of all who love him.

Atrial Fibrillation: When The Heart Skips A Beat
(NAPSI)—Every heart has a built-in pacemaker that ensures it beats regularly. When that natural pacemaker doesn't do its job, however, a person may experience an irregular heart rhythm, the most common and undertreated of which is atrial fibrillation (AF). This irregular heartbeat isn't always noticeable at first but can cause chaos over time.
Understanding AF
AF, which affects more than 33.5 million people worldwide, occurs when the upper chambers of the heart beat significantly faster than a normal heartbeat or quiver irregularly. Some people with AF have no symptoms, while others have chest discomfort or pain and experience fainting or light-headedness, as well as fatigue, shortness of breath or weakness.
"When I was young, my heart did funny things. It fluttered, it skipped a beat, but mostly it resolved by itself," said Sue Halpern, a lifelong AF patient. "When it didn't resolve by itself, I somehow learned how to make it stop. I began to notice in my 20s and early 30s that it was getting harder to make it stop, but I still didn't know anything was wrong with me."
Because the heart isn't pumping normally, blood can pool in the heart and clot; these clots can also make their way through the bloodstream. If left untreated, people with AF have a much higher risk of stroke and an increased risk of heart failure.
AF is typically caused by damage to the heart from disease, an abnormality from birth, surgery or a heart attack. However, adopting healthy behaviors such as monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure, avoiding smoking and excessive caffeine, and not abusing alcohol can help prevent disease.
How To Tell If You Have AF
As with so many diseases, early detection of AF is important. Physicians may obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG) or stress test, or recommend short-term monitoring with a cardiac event recorder or Holter monitor. Unlike these short-term methods, a small insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) automatically detects and records abnormal heart rhythms for up to three years, while remaining barely detectable under the patient's skin. For example, the Medtronic Reveal LINQ ICM is approximately one-third the size of an AAA battery, yet it can accurately detect AF.
What To Do If You Have AF
Once diagnosed, living with AF doesn't have to be a burden. While treatment options vary, many people respond well to medications. For those whose natural pacemaker needs an extra boost to keep the beat, treatment may include an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker that can respond to and reduce the duration of AF episodes. An ICD can also detect a dangerous and potentially life-threatening heart rhythm and send a lifesaving therapy to correct it.
Another treatment for paroxysmal (fleeting) atrial fibrillation (PAF) is cryoablation, a minimally invasive procedure that isolates the pulmonary veins, which are a source of erratic electrical signals that cause PAF. The device used in the procedure uses cold energy to interrupt these irregular electrical pathways in the heart.
In Halpern's case, cryoablation greatly reduced her PAF episodes and has given her a new outlook on life.
"For someone who was having episodes every seven to 10 days for eight to 12 hours at a time, I wouldn't have dreamed of having a life free of AF," Halpern said. "My advice is, if you feel something off with your heart, do something about it."

Lung cancer kills more men and women than any other form of cancer—almost a third of all cancer deaths are from lung cancer. Since most lung cancers begin to grow without any symptoms, many diagnoses are made at a relatively late stage. The Cancer Centers at Affinity Health System have a team of lung cancer experts to help patients fight the disease.
If your physician believes you may have lung cancer, our specialists have several advanced diagnostic tests available, including:

The INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum is holding its latest meeting, the fourth since it was established at the beginning of 1997, in Athens on 9 November. Delegates will discuss issues of concern to the Forum's membership and review the considerable progress made by its parent body, the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO), on behalf of all its members over the last seven months.
Members of the INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum account for 20 per cent of INTERTANKO's total membership, the largest single national interest group in the Association. In fact, the 70-plus INTERTANKO members with an office in Athens represent the largest concentration of Association membership in one location. As a result of the activities of the Hellenic Forum over the past two years, as well as the continuous efforts of its Chairman, Erric Kertsikoff of Eletson, the number of Greek INTERTANKO members has grown significantly. According to Theodore Plessas, the Secretary of the INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum, some 114 additional tankers belonging to Hellenic Forum members have joined the INTERTANKO fleet during the last three years, out of a total increase of 300 ships worldwide during the period. Today, there are 380 tankers in the INTERTANKO fleet operated by members of the Hellenic Forum. Dragos Rauta, the Technical Manager of INTERTANKO and also the Section Manager responsible for member interests in Greece and other Eastern Mediterranean countries, states: "Although the number of Greek companies eligible to join the INTERTANKO fleet seems to be getting toward the upper limit, there is still scope to add additional tankers through potential new Forum members. In this respect, one of the primary goals of the Hellenic Forum - to promote interest in the activities of INTERTANKO in the region - has been achieved.""The INTERTANKO Council now recognises that its three Regional Panels - the INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum, the North American Panel and the Asian Regional Panel - form the most important centres of tanker shipping activity outside Northern Europe. Panels not only enable local members to have more direct input into the work of the Association, they also bring the membership into contact with the various parties, including port authorities and regulators, with whom INTERTANKO cooperates in order to further the causes of safe ships, cleaner seas and free competition," says Erric Kertsikoff, Chairman of the INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum.Forum agendaThe Forum's busy agenda for the day calls for an evaluation of the current extensive INTERTANKO work programme, followed by consideration of the Association's goals for 1999. This is the first follow-up of a decision taken by the INTERTANKO Council at its last meeting in Brussels on 14 October to reappraise priorities. The explosive growth in the activities of the Association over the past two years has necessitated a thorough analysis of the current workload. INTERTANKO's Regional Panels and Committees, together with the Secretariat, will prepare a revision of the the Association's very full work programme.The safety of navigation is another important topic on the agenda of the INTERTANKO Hellenic Forum's 9 November meeting. The busy maritime traffic through the Bosporus is of paramount importance for many tanker operators in the region. Discussions may lead to possible suggestions which INTERTANKO can consider and forward to IMO and all interested parties. The Forum hopes that INTERTANKO may assist with this difficult matter as far as the provision of technical advice and expertise are concerned. In addition, the Forum will be made aware that at the last Council meeting, it was agreed to issue an INTERTANKO policy statement on the arrest and detention of masters.The Forum will be invited to consider a number of other items, as itemised below:
1. Corrosion Management Plan The avoidance of corrosion in cargo tanks is paramount on double hull tankers. A recent industry meeting hosted by INTERTANKO in London, with over 50 attendees representing tanker operators, oil majors, major classification societies, steel manufacturers and research institutions, agreed in principle that the industry should develop a safe and comprehensive plan for monitoring and preventing high corrosion rates on cargo tanks. With the kind assistance of Texaco, INTERTANKO made a commitment to coordinate such efforts.2. Hydrostatic Balance Loading (HBL)INTERTANKO has recently published a document entitled "Guide for Safe and Uniform Application of the HBL" in accordance with IMO regulations and the IACS Uniform Interpretations. The Guide provides a practical example of assessment of the HBL operation for a HBL. This model could be used practically for any tanker. Tanker operators are invited to take note of this publication.3. Technical Managers Association in Greece Possible cooperation between the INTERTANKO Safety, Technical and Environmental Committee (ISTEC) with the newly formed Technical Managers Association of Greece will be discussed.4. MiscellaneousIn addition, the Forum will address organisational matters related to the membership within the Hellenic Members and their representation in the INTERTANKO Council.Brussels Tanker EventINTERTANKO held its most recent international Tanker Event in Brussels on 12-15 October. The theme of the Brussels Tanker Event was the active partnership that INTERTANKO and the European Commission have jointly developed in the drive for safer shipping. The extent to which INTERTANKO and the Commission have adopted comparable approaches to promoting maritime safety was highlighted by Transport Commissioner Neil Kinnock in his keynote speech to the Brussels Event delegates when he described the many similarities that exist between the EU's Quality Shipping Campaign and INTERTANKO's Chain of Responsibility concept. Neil Kinnock also gave high marks to INTERTANKO's commitment to effective self-regulation and the establishment of a quality culture throughout its membership. The Commission would like to see the commitment being made by INTERTANKO repeated in other maritime and shipping sectors, and for all these efforts to be channelled to ensure the goals of its Quality Shipping Campaign are achieved. "I have to say that the response from all sectors of the industry to our Campaign has surpassed expectations,"said Neil Kinnock at the Tanker Event. "However, we must now mobilise this positive response to best effect. I would like to see this support developed into something more tangible than pleasant references at conferences. For instance, an Industry Charter that listed the basic principles of the Campaign, and was signed by responsible participants throughout the Responsibility Chain would be tangible evidence." Mr Kinnock concluded his speech by expressing his belief that INTERTANKO and the European Commission will develop even stronger links as the Quality Shipping Campaign advances. Houston Tanker Event, April 1999The INTERTANKO Council discussed a range of key issues and reached a number of important decisions at its recent Brussels meeting. It was confirmed that the next INTERTANKO Tanker Event will be held in Houston on 25-29 April 1999. The Event, which will take place in conjunction with the Association's Annual General Meeting and Council and Executive Committee meetings, will focus on Latin American tanker shipping activities, waterway management issues and the people involved in tanker shipping.Chairman Designate Dagfinn Lunde, Managing Director of INTERTANKO is pleased to announce that the INTERTANKO Council unanimously approved Westye Høegh of Leif Hoegh & Co ASA as the Chairman Designate of INTERTANKO to succeed Richard du Moulin. Richard du Moulin's three-year term of office expires in April 1999 on the date of the next Annual General Meeting.ISO 9002 certificationDagfinn Lunde also reports that, "In another notable recent development, the INTERTANKO Secretariat in Oslo has achieved certification to the ISO 9002 quality assurance standard. The certification, which is believed to be the first ever for a shipping trade association, was awarded by ABS following a full audit of operations in Oslo."
New INTERTANKO NewsletterINTERTANKO has launched a new biannual publication, "The Tanker Newsletter", to bring useful information about the industry out beyond the ranks of the tanker community itself to all those having some contact with tanker shipping and a desire to learn more from a first-hand source. Approximately 6,000 copies of the launch issue are now being circulated to contacts in the media, government, shipping and education sectors worldwide. An additional 2,000 copies will be distributed to the INTERTANKO fleet on the basis of one per tanker.INTERTANKO committee work The work programmes of the 15 INTERTANKO committees and three Regional Panels form the backbone of the Association's activities. It is estimated that the 150 people from INTERTANKO full and associate member companies devote, on average, one week per annum to committee work. These people are the acknowledged tanker industry experts in their specialised fields. Without this backbone provided by the committee structure, INTERTANKO could not function as effectively as it does today. The Council noted that four new committees - the IT Committee, the Market Research Group, the Short Sea Tanker Group and the Shuttle Tanker Committee - have been established over the past year.INTERTANKO membership The INTERTANKO membership includes, as full members, 273 tanker companies with 1,992 tankers totalling 170 million dwt. This is equivalent to 74 per cent of all independently owned tanker tonnage worldwide. In addition, there are 279 INTERTANKO associate member companies. The associate membership includes companies which offer equipment and services to the tanker industry, as well as most of the major oil companies.New members At its Brussels meeting the INTERTANKO Council approved the membership applications of six tanker companies, with an aggregate of 61 ships totalling 1.48m dwt. Two of the companies are based in Hong Kong, China (Eurasia Offshore and Parakou Shipping), two in Greece (Minerva Marine and Thalassic Steamship Agency), and one each in Canada (Algoma Tanker) and Russia (Primorsk Shipping). In addition, the applications of 13 companies for associate membership were approved.

Cultural Differences Between France and Middle-East (Maghreb)
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and in the world. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia. After the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, the absolute monarchy was abolished and France became a constitutional monarchy. Through the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, France established fundamental rights for French citizens and all men without exception. The Declaration affirms "the natural and imprescriptible rights of man" to "liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression". Freedom of speech and press were declared, and arbitrary arrests outlawed. Government
The French Republic is a unitary semi-presidential republic with strong democratic traditions. Demographics
With an estimated population of 65.8 million people (as of 1 Jan. 2011), France is the 20th most populous country in the world. In 2004, a total of 140,033 people immigrated to France. Of them, 90,250 were from Africa and 13,710 from Europe. In 2008, France granted citizenship to 137,000 persons, mostly to people from Morocco, Algeria and Turkey. It is illegal for the French state to collect data on ethnicity and race, a law with its origins in the 1789 revolution and reaffirmed in the constitution of 1958.. While official data on the size of the country's ethnic minorities is not available, it has been estimated that between three million and six million people are of North African ancestry while an estimated 2.5 million people are of Black African ancestry. It is currently estimated that 40% of the French population is descended at least partially from the different waves of immigration the country has received. Between 1921 and 1935 about 1.1 million net immigrants came to France. Religion

A well-known retired jockey was killed Tuesday night in a crash on Interstate 64, according to multiple media reports.
James Long, 62, of Frankfort worked as a jockey for 33 years and earned more than $1 million in his career.
Long's vehicle left the eastbound lanes of I-64 in Shelby County about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, went airborne and landed in the median, according to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Long, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, deputies said.
Long was one of the few black jockeys in horse racing during the 1970s. He reflected on his career last year at the first Phoenix Festival in Lexington.
At that event, Long spoke about his first win, in July 1974 in New York. He went on to ride Valid Appeal to his biggest win at the Dwyer Handicap at Belmont Park in 1975.
Earlier Tuesday night, Long had spoken at The Courier-Journal's Louisville Storytellers Project, according to the newspaper.
