The community of Racquet Club Estates is well known all over the world for its architectural designs by William Krisel, Jack Meiselman, and Donald Wexler. Their work uses open floor plans to help rooms flow for easy indoor-outdoor living. These mid-century modern structures make use of clerestory windows, tall walls of glass, and wafer thin roof lines.
Many homes have been updated and amenities include private pools, low maintenance landscape, quaint bedrooms, and renovated bathrooms. The remodeled kitchens can feature hardwood flooring and stainless steel appliances. You'll also find that many of the homes offer unobstructed views of the mountains.
Racquet Club East is just minutes from the activities of downtown Palm Springs and the fashionable design district.

There are over 100 golf courses in this area and around 150 hotel accommodations.
The city's economy relies heavily on tourism and sees over a million visitors a year. Attractions to see include: the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens; the Palm Springs Air Museum; and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. The tramway is the biggest in the world of its kind and takes people up to the San Jacinto State park wilderness via a route that rises 8,500 feet over the valley floor. At the top you'll find a gift store, snack bar, and restaurant.

text: In 2015, Shanti Devi constructed a toilet for her family of eight. Prior to that, she – like most of her neighbours in Muzaffarpur (Bihar, India) – had never had access to a toilet in her life. Since then, Shanti has made it her mission to help other families to understand the importance of safe sanitation and the way to go about building affordable toilets for themselves. The AKDN Comprehensive Sanitation Initiative in India is supporting communities like Shanti's to construct sanitation units across 100,000 households and 538 schools in India, to benefit more than 700,000 people across six states: Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Telangana. Under this initiative, hundreds of masons are being trained in appropriate toilet construction techniques. Tens of thousands of schoolchildren are learning about safe hygiene through puppetry and song. These activities support the Indian Government's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission, to create an open defecation free India by 2019. They also support the sanitation target of the Sustainable Development Goals, which calls for safely managed sanitation facilities for all by 2030 and the elimination of open defecation. Watch this 43-second video, "Shanti Devi talking about the impact of toilets on her community".

EDM16. Notice- after a protracted period of sideways movement punctuated with position building declines - insert silly Fed reason here - A huge "crash up" took place on Oct 15. (We may have posted some earlier stuff on that ) Then, more recently, the "In Crowd" seems to have rebooted with a long bias around the old prevailing highs..Lets call this November. Now, starting with another reach Wed. morning and continuing into a black hole repricing down after today's data....someone has been caught on the wrong side of the street...again.
Just to be clear, these are the rates that all the FG and statements and pressers are supposed to keep steady so participant's don't get faces ripped off and cause embarrassing global financial problems. Nice work, boys. Several times today I heard the meme that this movement was/would be a "Good thing." My sense is a large portion of the community, driven out, reversed and clobbered again, doesn't agree.

Environmental consideration in propertly law.
Raff, Murray
MetadataShow full item record
concerning exercise of their powers over their objects or land is regulated by public environmental and planning laws. The efficiency of their operation can be greatly affected by assumptions made by a legal system at a jurisprudential level about the nature of the rights of private property. Do private land owners in fundamental principle have responsibilities for the integrity of ecosystems on their land? This paper reviews and challenges the widely held view that Common Law systems do not recognise responsibilities in this sense. It contrasts the German legal system which does recognise such responsibilities and goes on to explore the reception of German land law principles into the Torrens land title system which operates in many Common Law countries, concluding that this reception supplanted the original Common Law idea if in its original form it was contrary to environmental responsibility.

Many of you know that I was in Montreal last weekend, but a lot of you don't really know why.
I went to Montreal for the Lolë White Tour, and had one of the best weekends of my life!!!
I am about ready to move to Canada! After a wedding in Alberta and then an amazing weekend in Quebec it has been super hard to deal with the heat here in Dallas. My husband doesn't think I can take the winters in Canada though… and he knows me best.
Already planning a girls trip to Vancouver now. That is where everyone in Canada keeps telling me to go!
About Lolë
Lolë (Live Out Loud Everyday) is an activewear apparel company that currently started in Montreal but is opening new stores across the US yearly. Do you have one in your area? Find out here!
Lolë believes that wellness is a lifestyle, and uses recycled fabrics for a lot of their clothing- which I LOVE!
They don't just sell activewear. They also sell jeans and other athleisure wear. What is athleisure?

Lolë White Tour
The Lolë White Tour was so incredible. Lolë hosts the White Tour in Canada every year in Toronto and in Montreal. You can check the schedules here.
So many people signed up in Montreal that they had to break it up into three sessions. Each session had around 5,000 people in attendance and everyone was in all white.
Doing yoga and meditation amidst so many others was such an incredible experience. It is so hard to put into words. You just feel so in the moment, so grounded, so at peace. You all move at the same time, breath at the same time, etc. Just such a special thing to be a part of.
The White Tour made Troy want to get back into yoga and it made me look up all of the different mass yoga events they have around the country. I will definitely be back for this next year. I know they also did a White Tour in Toronto so I may have to try that one!
Have you been to a Lolë White Tour event? If so, I would love to hear about your experience! Please leave a comment below.

Lolë Top Products
I actually have this bag and I use it now whenever I travel. It is perfect if you take a bag to the gym or if you do yoga regularly. It has a spot in the front for you to slip your mat into.
Lolë gifted me four of these packable jackets and I am sooo excited! They are so warm and comfortable and will also go great under heavier jackets for super cold temps. You can easily pack them up into a little bag that you can use on the airplane as a pillow= yes please! Perfect for those of us who always have zero room in our suitcases. They don't weigh anything and they don't take up any space.
Oh and they are water resistant, wind resistant, and there are about 10 colors to choose from!
These water bottles are so amazing. They will keep your drink hot for 12 hours and cold for 24! They also have leak-proof caps and a non slip grip base. I have one in white and one in black and have been carrying them with me to my workouts ever since I got back!

Introduction: Dwarven Bracers
I want to present you my dwarven leather breacers. I made them as a part of an armour of my dwarven costume which I made for this larp battle inspired by Hobbit.
Step 1: Tools and Materials
So..to make this beautiful part of armor you will need:
- leather (mine was thick about 4mm)
- knife
- thread and needle, rivets
- some tools
- paper and pencil
- ruler
Step 2: Measuring and Sketching
First I wanted to make Gimli's bracers, than I thought about Thorin Oakenshield's. But then I said "Hey, why don't you try to make your own ?" So I decided to think about whole new pattern.
Because leather is quite expensive material, you should make more sketches and transfer it to the leather once you're completely satisfied with it.
So measure your arm and take a pencil and let's do some sketching!
Step 3: Cutting
Now just draw a future shape of your bracers on the leather and cut it. There isn't really much to say :)
Step 4: Decoration
Now we get to the harder part - decorating.
First, draw a pattern on your bracers. After that we will push it or cut to it.
In order to make it, you need to soften the leather. Just put it in the water until it's completely wet.
Then start to push some hard thing into it.
After you are done just let it dry (without heating it! Heat would destroy the leather)
Step 5: Dying, Waxing, Lubricating
You can also dye and wax you bracers.
Dying will change your bracelet's color.
Wax will make the leather harder and darker and will also protect it.
Grease will protect them from water and from getting old and worn off.
I chose to dye it with brown color. You can use special paints for leather or if you don't want to buy them, just use an alcohol marker. I also want to lubricate them, but I will do it before the battle :)
Step 6: Assembling
Now it is finally the time to join all the parts together (as you could see on previous pictures, I did it earlier, but just because I'm impatient and I didn't wanted to paint them first, but luckily I changed my mind :) ) !
I sewed a hand part to the arm part and then attached a stripe of leather for holding it on palm.
Then I added fastening.
I cut stripe of leather and insert it into a buckle. Then I glue it on the bracer, so it would be easier to sew it later. You can use rivets as well! After that I added a stripe of leather on the opposite side of bracer.
Step 7: Finish Line
And if you got all the way down here, that means you are done! :)
I really hope you like this instructable and that it was helpful. It was my first time when I worked with leather, so I'll be glad for comments and advises, what should I do better next time! :)

Far over the misty mountains cold.... To dungeons deeeeeep and caverns old, the fire was red its flaming spread... The trees like torches, blazed with light... Dun dun dun dun
Blunt the knives bend the forks smash the bottles and burn the corks! Chip the glasses and crack the plates that's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Lovely pattern!!
oooooo make these out of 16 us gauge sheet steel and imprint the decorations using the repousse technique and you'd have some very excellent armour! then again, you could make these from saddle skirting leather and harden them with boiling water, as steveastrouk mentioned, and have some functional armour that way as well.
you just want to be a bit careful about that for the obvious reason that you're working with boiling water as well as not making the leather too hard or it becomes brittle.
very much favoriting this for a future project. i have some heavy leather and had no idea what to do with it.....until now. cheers mate!
Thanks for an idea and advice! :)
sure thing! oh, even 18 gauge steel would work, be easier to work *with* and still be functional. especially for this since the aria is so small compared to like...tassets or cuisse.
oh yeah, a suggestion. use rivets for the straps and not just adhesive. you can get them from leather supply shops, either in person or online..
Yeah, I used rivets, but I didn't make a photo, anyway thanks for another tip ;)
ah okay, at least you used them.
when you go to tool(imprint) the leather let it start drying to its normal color and then use a sponge to get it damp and wet enough to tool. also if you periodically wet the edges, th water should absorb into the middle depending on the thickness and size of the piece. this is just what works best for me. find what works best for you and stick with it.
Once you have your design finished and it fits right, boil them in wax to harden them. Paraffin works better in high temperatures, while beeswax keeps more flexibility and is less likely to crack in low temperatures. Be careful with wax vapour though as it can be quite explosive if you let it build up.
I was planning to do this, but I haven't the beeswax that my friend promised me like a month ago . Anyway thanks for advice!
Be aware that they will try to shrink a bit as they cool off, so it's good to have a form you can strap them to so they come out the right size. At least, if you want the custom-fitted look. :)
They're taking the hobbits to Isengard! To isengard to isengard, they're taking the hobbits to isengard! ;) <3 Lotr! :)
Yeah, <3 lotr too
Heat doesn't destroy leather... It hardens it, though there is shrinkage.
Well thanks for clarify! It was my first time I worked with leather. I just knew, it's not good to heat it.
Look at "Cuir Boulli" - hardened leather that can take a sword strike, apparently.
yes, properly hardened leather will definitely take a sword strike. especially if it's saddle skirting leather. omg that shite is *thiiiiiick*.
This is also a great basis design for Assassin Creeds Gaunlet

Spring is coming, even if most think of January as the depth of winter.
Here in the PNW, even with a "modified Artic blast" freezing us periodically over the past month (it has flipped between chilly and blue skies/to rain and fog to blue skies and warm), the trees and shrubs are showing signs of coming alive. All my trees and shrubs have buds on them.
And my seed orders trickle in, this one is from Baker Creek Seeds, and yes, white and yellow strawberries are going in. And Quinoa 😉 Go big, or don't garden!
It isn't often I flip through a magazine, see an ad for a book and run to Amazon to order it. This one I did….as soon as I saw the current issue of Urban Farm Magazine, I saw an ad for Urban Farm Projects: Making the Most of Your Money, Space and Stuff, published by the magazine.
New toys awaiting Spring, to be hung: A Ladybug House, a Mason Bee House, and a Bat Shelter.
So in all these projects, in the back of my mind, the greenhouse awaited. In a few years I would like a permanent building, one that I can be proud of. But knowing that I only have so much time and resources, I opted for a cheap(er) alternative to get through, while I put my gardening money into more raised beds – and getting a shed built (which is way more important! Kirk would like his garage back at some point….). And my Mother In-Law even bought me the Gardman 7622 Walk-In Greenhouse with Shelving for a holiday gift! How nice!
Finally, after a long dig, we got the majority of an old evergreen tree stump out. There was a bit left, but it was below the level, so I just covered it up. I packed the soil down firmly, and let it sit for a few days, to ensure it was truly packed down.
Then a layer of yard fabric. Once to ensure no weeds, but also to prevent a mud pit from happening.
Working on the frame of the greenhouse. To ensure it was reasonably straight/level, I constructed it on our deck. And yes, it was very foggy that day!
Once I had the frame I moved it to the site. The frame itself is very light and easy to move (though having a helper makes it quicker!) I had spare 16×16″ paver stones, so I put 3 inside for steps to stand on, and 3 in front. I used the included stakes this house has, to "hold" it down (staking). Personally, they don't do a lot, but I figured I might as well use them.
I picked up 10 .5 cf bags of river rock in 3/8″ size. I filled in and around the greenhouse with it. Something I had pondered after reading reviews was how light the greenhouse is. Which I knew going into, and so I over engineered it. I figure this will be a permanent spot, so I wanted it to look nice – but also the gravel has two other jobs: One is for drainage, but the other is to weight it down. The paver stones are 2″ high, so I filled the rock that high. This ensured the bottom frame of the house was buried. I tamped the rocks down, smoothing them. Be sure to check a day later for any more smoothing out, it will shift a bit. Then I raked back in the bark mulch, that had been there, to make it look nice.
With portable greenhouses, the shelves are not of the highest quality. They are slightly bent, and rest on the shelves. If you put too much weight on them, you risk them going "Oopsies" and everything falls off. So use zip ties. Then your shelves will be on securely. I trimmed the ends after I took the photo.
After finishing my river rock, and making sure it all looked good, I let it sit for a day. Then I came and put the cover over it, taking my time. Be sure to use any included cords for staking out properly. The greenhouse is light, you don't want it to blow away! And having said that, the real issue with wind is with the cover, not the frame – think of it like an umbrella. So stake it taught and keep the door closed in bad weather. PS: I also added later 4 large rocks to each of the long sides. Again, never hurts to make sure it won't suffer wind.
Since my greenhouse has only set of shelving (some have rows on both sides), I needed work space to work on. I saw a potting station at a local chain, Fred Meyer, that was $37. Which for this was a bargain. I didn't need a huge area!
It quickly assembled and fit in perfectly. I could even fit in a second one if I wanted to……
Not missing a chance to stabilize the greenhouse frame, I zip tied the legs of the potting table to it as well.
I am 5'4″-ish and it comes to my waist. The top is galvanized steel. A place to pot, storage space under it!
Open for business!
I put a thermometer inside to watch the temps. It was 78* at 1 pm on Tuesday. 80* on Monday! Hot and humid to say the least…..
Which then led me to move my other mini house, to be closer. It had been in an awkward spot, that didn't make it convenient for me to use it. It is lashed to the fence with D rings that are on the back. It has survived some really good winter storms, and still looks great. I have a feeling it will hold many of my starter seeds this spring. And as well, another new garden bed is in front. It was a productive week!
And for those dreaming of a greenhouse?

Border officials consider plans to transfer migrant families to cities around the US
The migrants would be moved from overcrowded facilities in Texas.
Citing a massive influx of refugees arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, border officials said Friday they are developing plans to fly potentially thousands of migrant families to other cities away from the southern border where those families could be processed and then released.
The extraordinary move has prompted serious concerns in local communities like South Florida, where officials there say they don't have the ability to handle hundreds of migrants at a time.
An official from U.S. Customs and Border Protection told reporters in a conference call that the plan was not aimed at dumping undocumented migrants in sanctuary cities to punish Democrats, as President Donald Trump has threatened to do via Twitter.
Cities would be picked, the official said, based on where CBP already has a "footprint," and preference would be given to cities with CBP offices that have enough bandwidth to process hundreds of migrants at a time. That means most likely larger ports of entry along the U.S.-Canadian border and coastal cities.
The federal government has already relied on buses to transfer migrants away to less crowded border stations, namely from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, to Laredo, Texas, and Yuma, Arizona, to El Centro area in California. The official said two flights have been used as well, including one to move migrants from the Rio Grande area to San Diego, California.
Trump has previously threatened to flood sanctuary cities like New York City and San Francisco where laws limit cooperation with immigration officials. But White House aides have said the focus of discussions is primarily about redistributing of migrants across the country to lighten the burden on border states.
Those Illegal Immigrants who can no longer be legally held (Congress must fix the laws and loopholes) will be, subject to Homeland Security, given to Sanctuary Cities and States!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 15, 2019
In the past week, border authorities have averaged 4,500 apprehensions per day and facilities aren't equipped to care for the influx of children, the official said.
"This is an emergency," the official said. "The entire system is overwhelmed, and we are simply trying to safely get them out of our custody as quickly as possible."
The announcement from CBP comes after local officials in Florida sounded the alarms, insisting their communities are not prepared to manage migrant families.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said that Border Patrol operations in Miami had informed him that as many as 1,000 migrants a month from El Paso, Texas, would be transported to Florida and split between Palm Beach and Broward County, Florida, in the coming weeks.
The CBP official confirmed that Florida had been identified as one of many places where processing could be done but said there were no current plans to send migrant families to Florida.
"We do not have any aircraft flying into Florida at this time," the CBP official said.
But the agency is looking into "capacity building and contingency plans across the nation," he added.
Under U.S. and international law, the migrants have the right to claim asylum and plead their case to a judge. But the immigration courts are overwhelmed, and officials say they are struggling just to process so many people at a time.
Some 109,000 undocumented migrants were stopped at the border in April alone. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has released about 180,000 family members since December, while CPB has released 40,000 since mid-March.
Upon notification, officials in Broward County said they began working quickly to alert local nonprofits, shelters and businesses about the new arrivals. But the mayor warned of a potential "homeless encampment" if federal assistance isn't provided.
"This is a humanitarian crisis," Broward Mayor Mark Bogen said in a statement Friday. "We will do everything possible to help these people. If the president will not provide us with financial assistance to house and feed these people, he will be creating a homeless encampment."
A Broward County official said local authorities weren't told why their community was selected to receive the migrants.
"It took everyone by surprise," said Kimberly Maroe, the county's public information manager.
"We spent a lot of time making sure people don't come into South Florida illegally," Bradshaw told reporters Thursday. "Well, guess what? The federal government now is bringing people that have come into the country illegally to us that have come over out in El Paso. And I don't think it's right."
Sen. Marco Rubio sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security with several questions demanding to know the agency's plans for transporting migrants to the state.
The CBP official said no cities have been identified yet for mass transfers. When asked which ones were most likely to fall under consideration, the official said: "Every Border Patrol location we have in the United States."

Stong mom, strong daugther
There are so many strong women and great role models, women to whom we can look up to, find support and be inspired from. These women are important as they show us that we have power to shape our lives or the course of history and that we can make a difference. Sometimes, the one we look up to does not have to be a famous person; it can be someone close to us, like our own mother. This interview is a tribute to one great mom, who shaped and was instrumental in the raising of a strong, opinionated woman who we will meet this week.
Name: Chris Peterson
Age: 60
Occupation: On line Female Preneur
Family: Italian
Lives in: The USA
When answering the question about which female role model we have or which women we look up to, it is easy to mention someone famous person, but you said "my mom" and described her as a strong woman. Can you tell more about her and why she is who she is to you?
Why I chose my mom as a strong woman I look up to? My mom had five children. She was raised in a small town in Italy, with very little education although she was from an upper class family. Her father was deployed for war and while he was gone, her mom got very ill. My mom had to take care of her mother and younger sibling and couldn't go to school. After the war ended, her father came back, but she was shy and did not want to go back to school because she knew she would be held back and would be with younger kids. Yet, even with little education, her mind was sharper than most educated woman of her times and place.
She married a man beneath her because of love. My grandfather from my dad's side was working for my maternal grandfather who owned lots of land. Against all opposition, my mother ended up marrying the love of her life. However, later, she had to put up with discrimination against her from my dad's family. It was from both her sister in law and mother in law because of her views on education and other views she held strong.
My mom, no matter the opposition, she held her head up and raised us as upper middle class children with high regards for education. She also instilled in us love and respect for anyone no matter what their social status was. She raised us as independent thinker, encouraging us to think outside the box. She encouraged us to be activist in political issues, regardless of what the political party was presenting to the mass.
My mom never made us feel less loved or less valuable as individuals no matter our flaws. She never stressed the negative in any of our body' flaws. She countered our self- criticism with encouragement. As teenagers criticizing our body parts, she would find always the positive to compliment us on. For example: If I would complain that I was too short, she would tell me that my legs were straight and beautiful.
She was also a feminist, and she believed that women needed to exercise their right to vote, to be educated and to have their own money. I can go on with so many other values she instilled in us, things that now, after she is gone to heaven, I remember and cherish about her even more.
We all need a good role model in life and as a girl and later a woman, our mother is very important. If you had not had the mother you do, would you have been a different person you think?
Yes, if I had had a different mom, I know I would be a different person. I am a very intuitive person, yet, very feminist and very passionate in social issues. I think the women of this generation have done a disservice to the feminist movement: right now, many women conform to a "one for all look alike" model of beauty and style, one that does not allow women to gain respect in society and does not show individuality.
Women like Coco Channel, Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn epitomized elegance, class, poise... Right now, young women don't have such role models anymore.
Today, women advocate equal pay and equal rights in the work force; yet they don't do enough to earn this respect. They dress with too much cleavage showing, regardless of the environment they are in. There should be a time and a place for such attire, yet, it is exhibited on regular everyday life: at the workplace, on the streets, at the news channels.
They use profanity, they praise movies that degrade women such as "50 shade of gray" (where the master whips his sex slave) and they use derogatory terms to describes themselves such as "bitches, hot chicks" and other derogatory words. They form a "me too" movement, yet, they do nothing to become good role models to young people and to stop being objectified in movie roles they accept.
I'm not saying that everyone fits this mold, however, the majority right now is not doing anything to make our feminist founders proud.
If you should mention some other women you look up to, who would it be and why?
I think I would choose women of the past such as Joan of Arc, Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), African-American abolitionist and women's rights campaigner. Also, I would choose Margaret Fuller (1810-1850). An American women's rights advocate.
I can go on and on. There are many women who paved the way for us to be where we are today, more is needed, we need to raise up young people as good role models for the next generations, as the past founders did for us. I look forward to see a shift and to have young people understand the power we hold in our hands. We can change the world, it takes just one good role model to do so.

Wolf Gedinne.
At the end of June in 2011, Gedinne, a small town in Wallonia was at the center of attention when news broke out that a couple of sheep were attacked. Rumours got out a wolf may be the cause. The Flemish national television (VRT) sent out a crew of their well known programme 'Animals in Trouble' to catch the animal on film, during night.
They filmed the scoop: the wolf was back after 130 years of absence.
What we did.
Taking advantage of this situation, we decided to create a fake 'making of' in order to make the public believe the filmed wolf was fake and nothing but a stunt by the vodka brand from the land of the wolves, Eristoff.
Once the film was posted on social media, the press jumped on the case and had their doubts as to the origin of the VRT images. Mission accomplished.
The Eristoff top topical took the land by storm. This made it possible for Eristoff to claim their brand image 'Vodka from the land of the wolves' by exploiting a news related fact.
What we got.
Coverage in national press and also a lot of tweets and blog articles. Even months after the event, the press keeps on talking about the return of the wolf, mentioning the Eristoff case. Even today, many people believe the wolf actually filmed is a fake.

Reconciliation and the Healing of Nations—The Voices of "We the Peoples…"
In Observance of World Invocation Day
To Invoke and Evoke Healing Energies for the United Nations and Planet Earth
Friday, 5 June 2009; 1:00 p.m.—:30 p.m.
United Nations Church Center, 2nd Floor Conference Room (44th St. & 1st Ave.)
What Is the Relationship Between Reconciliation, the Healing of Nations
And World Invocation Day?
Ida Urso1
Good afternoon, Friends. On behalf of my co-workers who have helped organize today's meeting, it is my great pleasure to welcome you—each and every one of you—guest speakers, participants, and co-sponsors.
And, thank you, Eileen, for your—as ever, beautiful and uplifting music that helped us begin our inward and upward journey into higher consciousness.
I look forward to addressing the theme of this Seminar with you this afternoon and I know that our unified strivings will bring healing energies into the work of the United Nations, humanity, and all life on our planet.
We have much good work to accomplish. We are meeting at an auspicious solar and cosmic time in which to contemplate the healing of the nations—and the voices of "we the peoples…"—which not only includes those of us meeting here in this room, but also many of our co-workers and friends from around the world and throughout the United States, who—either individually or in groups, have committed to subjectively working with us today.
I would like to take a few minutes to recognize them, and ask you to join me in acknowledging the reciprocal link between our work and theirs, thus, strengthening our mutual efforts—on behalf of all.
I would like to mention the groups in, for example, Bromsten, Sweden; Sydney Goodwill in Australia; several groups in Russia who have translated the UN Meditation into Russian and who will be using it with us this afternoon;
Brazil's Triangle and World Goodwill groups who have also translated the meditation into Portuguese; a group in Skopje, Macedonia who have translated the meditation into both the Serbian and Macedonian languages, and this group—who normally meets every Thursday, will be meeting today in order to link with our work here this afternoon.
A group in Cali, Colombia, who thanks us for this great fraternal union, as they wrote; a group in Madrid, who, as you may have read in our web page, is invoking healing energies—not only for the United Nations and for the planet, but above all for the Light Workers who are meeting here today.
Additionally, I would like to recognize co-workers in Chile, New Zealand, Italy and Germany who will subjectively join with us, as will groups and individuals in many of our United States, including West Virginia, AZ, PA, CA, TX and elsewhere.
This acknowledgment provides a good segue-way into our considering the importance of the concept of "we the peoples," which is truly an Aquarian concept and also pivotal to World Invocation Day, about which I will say more in a little while.
We the Peoples…
It is an act of serendipity and most fitting that we are meeting here in the UN Church Center—which, as many of you know, is the gathering place of NGOs whose very reason for being is to support, in one way or another, the work of the United Nations.
It is also fitting and most significant that we overlook the General Assembly of the United Nations—the meeting place of the nations and peoples of the world. As those of you who are familiar with the history of this organization know, the concept of "we the peoples" played a pivotal role in its founding.
Back in 1945, many doubted that the then 50 nations convening at the United Nations Conference on International Organization could ever be brought to agreement.
The precarious, touch and go nature of that conference is described by Harold Stassen, the then Governor of MN and one of the U.S. delegates to that conference who tells us that the public and the media, were strident in their assertions that the 50 nations could never be brought to agreement.
He then gives the following account of how the tide was turned:
"As we began…regular explanations to the media and to nongovernmental representatives who increasingly came to San Francisco, public sentiment began to swing in a hopeful manner.
"Virginia Gildersleeve, one of the eight-member delegation from the US, came forward with the preamble concept of 'We the People'. [From then on] progress in our work and in public opinion accelerated to the point where all 50 delegations agreed unanimously and signed the 10,000 word Charter on June 26." (Harold E. Stassen, New Realities Conference, 1993)
In his report to the Millennium Assembly, Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who had a special appreciation of NGOs, also pointed out the importance of this concept. He wrote,
"Even though the United Nations is an organization of states, the Charter is written in the name of 'we the peoples.' Ultimately," he said, "the United Nations exists for, and must serve, the needs and hopes of people everywhere."
Some of you here recognize that this Seminar is part of the meditation initiative that goes under the name of "The Spiritual Work of the United Nations and the Liberation of Humanity."
These two ideas go hand in hand and, of course, "humanity" is "we the peoples."
Those of us who sponsor this meditation initiative, and meet monthly within the UN Meditation Room, believe that in this Aquarian Age, the UN is as a Temple for Humanity; it is as the hub of the great wheel of the whole human race—the hope of humanity—as some refer to it.
The work accomplished within and around this world body by its personnel, by the representatives and leaders of the member States and by many of the thousands of Civil Society2 organizations affiliated with the UN is truly spiritual work.
Affirming the pivotal role of the United Nations in our world, one of the Masters of the Wisdom has written,
"Speaking symbolically—when the United Nations has emerged into factual and actual power, the welfare of the world will then be assured. What is that welfare but love in action? What are right human relations but love among men, groups and nations? What is international cooperation but love on a world scale?" (The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, Alice A. Bailey, © Renewed by Lucis Trust, 1985, Lucis Publishing Co., NY, p. 603)
Contrary to the Piscean Age when communion with divinity was possible only through an appointed individual or group who acted as a spiritual conduit, in this Aquarian Age, we know that each of us not only can be—but MUST be the keepers of our own individual flame of consciousness.
By meeting here today and acknowledging our spiritual vision for an improved world experience, we bear witness to the truth that the Age of Aquarius is the Age in which humanity is undergoing a great spiritual awakening, which brings us to our theme of World Invocation Day.
World Invocation Day
One of the sacred texts of the Agni Yoga wisdom states: One cannot remain without water even for a day. And likewise it is difficult for the consciousness to survive without the light from far-off worlds. Thinking about the grandeur of life can become as necessary as food or drink. (Agni Yoga, par. 407, Agni Yoga Society, NY.)
From the Emerald Tablets of Thoth, the Kybalion of Hermes Trismegistus the Agni-Puranas, the Unapishads and other ancient Covenants to the contemporary esoteric wisdom, brought forth in the books of the Agni Yoga Society and the Intermediate Teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, given out by the Tibetan Master, within the books authored by Alice A. Bailey, the Great Teachers of Humanity have long held out the promise of a Higher Way of life if humanity but would follow certain spiritual principles and precepts.
As the Boddhisattva Pledge3 indicates, these Great Helpers of humanity do not abandon the Earth so long as sufferings go unhealed. (New Era Community, par. 272, Agni Yoga Society, NY.)
Always—throughout time and in all cultures, the attempt has been to awaken humanity and lead it from darkness to light, from death to immortality and from the unreal to the real.
Also known as the Festival of Goodwill, the Festival of the Christ, and the Festival of Humanity, World Invocation Day is a global Day of spiritual healing.
As all of the 12 monthly solar festivals, it spans five days—two days before the Solar Festival of Gemini, the day of the Solar Festival itself and two days afterwards.
Today is the first day of that five-day period. So it is our good opportunity to initiate what two of our co-workers in Australia have referred to as the wave of energetic support—that will grow in intensity until World Invocation Day on Sunday, June 7th at 2:12 p.m. here in our Eastern Time zone.
This Festival—the third of three Major Spiritual Festivals, following as it does, the Festival of Wesak or the Festival of the Buddha, brings the greatest inpouring of cosmic love into our planet. It is a culminating point—providing a crescendo of revelation, which can lead to transformative changes, if we can avail ourselves of the opportunity provided.
This Festival celebrates the spirit of humanity—aspiring towards God or higher consciousness. It brings attention to the fact of a Higher Cosmic Will and Plan, recognizing that humanity is not living an uncharted course.
It is dedicated to the expression of right human relations and the energies connected to this Festival especially affect the nations of the world—either helping them move towards the objectives set forth by the United Nations—of cooperation, unity and solidarity—or increasing the extant expression of self-centredness and the instinct to self-preservation.
Occurring under the influence of the sign of Gemini, it is a Festival that recognizes the spiritual and divine nature of humanity and its unique role as a bridge builder between the various dimensions of consciousness on our planet.
It is a day of outer fellowship and group activity, such as is our experience here today; it is also a day of inner awareness and spiritual uplift—a recognition of our oneness as a human species as well as our link within the Great Chain of Hierarchy—that stream of Light, Love and the Will-to-Good that has existed on our planet since the dawn of humanity and which grows ever more electrified, strengthened, deepened and beautified each time that any one individual takes up his or her work of world salvage and healing.
Humanity's task, ultimately, is to become aware of the unimpeded relationship existing among all centers and states of being, or dimensions of consciousness and then relate "that which is above and that which is below," or that which is inward (esoteric) to that which is outward (exoteric)—a form of inbreathing and out-breathing, of receiving and giving. In this way, humanity becomes part of the divine circulatory flow.
The legacy of this day will be an understanding of how humanity can scientifically engage in the process of invocation/evocation—a process that describes that voiceless appeal, and inherent urge towards the light—which is innate in all forms, which produces interplay and relationship, and which is the cause of all progress or pushing forward along the path of an expanding consciousness and a penetration into the light. A process that is as true of the flower that pushes its way through the dark of the earth into the light of the sun just as it is of the disciple who strives to pierce into the higher (deeper) dimensions of consciousness, ad infinitum.
The possibility is that in time to come, "life in the three worlds" will be superseded by the fact of "life in the five worlds," including an awareness of the Buddhic and Atmic dimensions of consciousness—as depicted in this chart. (Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, Alice A. Bailey, © Renewed Lucis Trust, 1978, Lucis Publishing Co., New York, p. X )
In the symbolism of the East, "The Bridge of Sighs" which links the animal world with the human world and leads all individuals into the vale of tears…will be replaced by the radiant Rainbow Bridge so that an aware humanity can then bring that radiant light down into the daily world.
Such is the hope and promise of the work, which can be accomplished each succeeding year at this World Invocation Day.
Reconciliation and the Healing of Nations
What can I say about Reconciliation and the Healing of Nations? I will touch just briefly on this subject, as this will be the focus of our guest speakers.
As most of you know, this year is the United Nations' "International Year of Reconciliation."
The literature around this resolution is most interesting and heartening because it emphasizes the healing aspect of what is possible during World Invocation Day.
In a press release about this resolution it was said that this Year can become a vehicle for creating a fraternal human society, based on values such as truth and justice and for restoring the unity of mankind now separated by ethnic, religious and other kinds of conflicts. [GA/10536, 20 November 2006, Sixty-first General Assembly Plenary, 56th Meeting (AM)]
In presenting the resolution within the General Assembly, the representative from Nicaragua, the country that spearheaded the adoption of this Resolution, stated that reconciliation is the way of embedding into culture the high ideals that can make the common good the cornerstone of development.
Beginning with South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission of 1995, over 20 such commissions have been created in other countries since then—a sign of humanity's readiness for something other than a culture of war.
Because the concept is yet fairly new, there is no agreed upon set definition for what constitutes the practice of reconciliation, although there is general agreement that all parties must be willing to reconcile and they must be willing to listen and respect each other's point of view, and to then take agreed upon actions to change problematic behavior. Truth, justice and mercy are identified as critical components of the reconciliation process.
Although reconciliation can take place without the act of forgiveness and forgiveness can proceed within the privacy of one's own heart and mind, without reconciliation, the act of forgiving can shift one's energies. It can liberate the individual from the weight of resentment and hurtful feelings.
Some consider forgiveness as the esoteric heartbeat of the process of reconciliation. And, there is a handout on the literature table that includes selected quotes on the act of forgiveness that you might find of interest.
There can be no question in anyone's mind that all nation-states are in need of healing. The history of the human race to date has been fraught with war and conflicts—waged over economic, social, ethnic, religious, and political differences.
In fact, two ancient and inherited ideas have both enthralled and imprisoned humanity and are today the cause and basis of our many global crises: The first is aggression for the sake of possession and the second is the authority of one individual, group or church over others. These ancient ideas, which must become relics of the past, have been fueled by selfish ambition and a violently imposed authoritarian rule.
Our work today and the increased awareness of the potential of World Invocation Day and all truly spiritual strivings will offset these ancient ideas substituting instead, the new ideas and values of the Aquarian Age—such as unity, cooperation, synthesis and sharing, which brings me to my concluding thought, which comes in the form of a mantram that I would like to share with you. It affirms the work possible to us today and during this Festival period:
"Radiance we are and power. We stand forever with our hands stretched out, linking the heavens
"We reach into the Light and bring it down to meet the need. We reach into the silent
"Thus with the light we work and turn the darkness into day."
Thank you.

The vast majority of these CSOs are NGOs; there are also institutions, foundations, associations and almost 1,000 Indigenous Peoples Organizations (IPOs) listed as CSOs with DESA - which maintains a database of registered CSOs.

Can your awnings attach to roof rails or do they have to attach to roof racks?
Adventure Kings Awning Bracket Kits (available separately) come with all required mounting equipment to fit to most roof racks. They can also be fitted to many roof rails with the optional fitting kit and some DIY work. Alternatively with the addition of extra bolts/mounting hardware that are available separately such as T bolts, you can easily fit them to most roof rack, roof bar and roof rail systems.
Which side of the awning runs along the 4WD?
2x2.5m – the awning is 2m along the length of the 4WD
2.5x2.5 – No brainer!
2x3m – the awning is 2m along the length of the 4WD
In each case, the first number quoted is the length that runs along the vehicle, and the second number is how far out the awning extends from the vehicle.
Do the awnings fit the Ford ranger dual cab and Mitsubishi pajero?
Our awnings fit all popular single and dual cab utes and wagons. Our supplied mounting brackets are designed to fit to roof racks like the style we sell, however, many people modify them to fit Rola-style roof bars without too much hassle.
How do I stop my awning blowing around on the sand?
We have developed sand bags to help anchor the legs of awnings on the sand. In windy areas we also recommend you substitute the metal pegs provided with plastic sand pegs to give the ropes something stronger to grip to.
Can I buy spare poles for my awning?
Yes we stock spares including poles and hinges. Please send us your request to firstname.lastname@example.com Please include as much information as possible - the size of your awning and your contact details.
Can I attach an awning to my vehicle without a Roof Rack?
Yes, but you'll need something to mount them to! Many 4WDers who own utes can use their ladder racks or headboards, even canopies, to fit their awnings. You can also use roof bars / crossbars but depending on the vehicle and setup you might need to go to the local hardware store and buy some bits and pieces to fit them up. our awnings are designed to fit to our Roof Racks with the included brackets.
Do we sell 3m awning walls?
No, however, our awning wall is designed to fit all three sizes of awnings we sell.
You can use the side wall's adjustable straps on the 2.5mx2.9m awning wall to secure it to the metal support arms along the side of a 2x2.5m, 2.5x2.5m OR 2x3m awning (the poles that run at right angles to the vehicle).
Can any type of mounting brackets be used for awnings?
There are many ways awnings can be mounted. We recommend making use of the optional Adventure Kings L-brackets, however, it's possible to create your own brackets or buy third party brackets to fit your awning to a different style of roof rack or other surface you plan to mount your awning to.
Can awnings be mounted to caravans?
Many people fit our awnings to caravans, trailers and horse floats, however, if the object you want to fit an awning to doesn't have a roof rack or surface that would fit our mounting kit supplied with the awning, you would have to make some custom mounts for your specific application, which can be done with basic materials and tools.
What is the maximum height of the awning poles?
The maximum height of all our awning poles in 2150mm.
Are the awnings waterproof?
Yes, our awnings are waterproof.

Let's face it – the Internet is full of sites that are inappropriate for children and in my opinion, to most adults as well. Like me, when your children reached puberty you probably installed one of those programs or services that block adult websites – a content blocker – and like me, you probably thought you were doing the right thing.
Boy, were we wrong.
It took me several not-so-reassuring incidents with my children, some talks with experts and some quiet soul searching, to figure out why site filtering services are not the right solution for me or my family.
For start, children are smart, and they're technologically savvy enough to bypass whatever I install on their tablets and phone. It's really very easy for them. If you rely on a browser blocker, such as Safari's "limit adult content" option, they can simply install another browser. Or, if you install a blocker linked to your Wi-Fi router, they know how to switch to a public Wi-Fi network. The smarter kids might even be able to install a VPN (which a friend told me stand for "virtual public network"), which will make the Internet think they're somewhere else altogether. Or, they can guess our passwords, since we're not THAT good.
Even if your kids are not technologically inclined, bypassing a content blocker is not that hard. As another friend showed me, all you have to do is go on google and go through the related image option. Scroll enough, and you'll get to things you don't want to see. And finally, there's always the option of borrowing a tablet or phone from a friend whose parents did not install such blocker, and you can bet your socks that such devices pass through the schools like hot potatoes. Even in your kids' school.
In other words, blockers don't actually work. They simply give parents a false sense of assurance.
A Content blocker might only do harm
When I started thinking about it more carefully, I discovered I'm not that sure I wanted those filters to work. You see, most of those blockers rely on words, rather than context, and end up blocking the wrong things. For example, when my daughter wanted to join a breast cancer awareness campaign, my filtering program blocked her, since she was trying to get on a website dealing with breasts. Many children also rely on the Internet to answer regular health and maturation questions that they might be embarrassed to ask an adult, and I would want my children to be able to get on appropriate websites that would give them the correct info. After all, knowledge is safety. And finally, even my child wanted to watch porn, I would rather know about it and have a discussion, rather than sweep it under the rug and call it a day.
So, I imagine you're saying
So what should I do?
The answer is the old-fashioned building blocks of parenting – trust, education, awareness and conversation. This is what I chose.
Trust – I chose to trust my children to do what is right. I recognized I will not always have the authority or ability to monitor what they do, and thus I decided I should let them practice making their own decisions now, rather than later. Blocking will not teach my sons and daughters how to make the right choices, since it gives no choice at all
Education – I educate my children, through words, attitudes and example, how I want them to behave in the world. I have conversations with them about the way some people might demean others or objectify them, and how I would rather have them respect their bodies and themselves. I tell them about healthy relationships that are age appropriate.
Awareness – I realize that boys will be boys and kids will be kids, and I keep my expectations realistic. I know they might surf sites that I would not necessarily approve of, and although they have freedom, I want to know then they do that. It is not blocking, censoring or spying – just concerned and involved parenting.
Conversation – If and when my son or daughter would visit a site which I deem inappropriate, I will talk with them about it. I will hear whether they wanted information, whether they heard about it from a friend, or whether anyone else recommended it. I would explain why it goes against my values and beliefs. I would win them over.
If that sounds too difficult for you to do, I can say that I thought so, too. Until I got the Jiminy App. Jiminy lets me know what my children are doing, and guides me on how to have those difficult and awkward conversations.
Parenting. It beats a content blocker every time.

GREAT, those shoes are truly great. Expensive but they European made so believe me shoes in Germany, Italy or Spain cost that or even more. If you go into designer shoes - more, more money. Crazy it is but they last forever. Being a total shoe junkie and buying only quality shoes over many years I can say a thing or two about quality of shoes. Those fit well, great leather on them as well and they extremely comfy. Definitely made in Europe and it is not a chinese copy. It was my first order and I will be back for more shoes in a future.
