ThresholdMore at weekly.citypaper.com
Threshold, App's current solo exhibition at Goya Contemporary, enjoyed a crowded and successful opening, as anticipated, but is undoubtedly best as a solitary viewing experience. Consisting of eight new, large-scale paintings and a handful of works on paper, Threshold is a quiet, meditative exhibition that forgoes the acute angles of his recent paintings in favor of rectangular forms and a comfortable symmetry. App's subtle hues of muted grays, greens, and muffled purples hug expansive, central planes of black and white, which the artist refers to as "portals." This description is fitting, as the layering and perspective appear to shift as viewers stand before them. These slight vibrations recall Mark Rothko, and the obsessively neat surfaces find company with finish-fetish artists like John McCracken.
Goya Contemporary Director Amy Eva Raehse explains that these new works are in dialogue with a number of App's older series, including the homage paintings and vessels, which the artist recently revisited in preparation for a 2013 retrospective at the Katzen Museum in Washington, D.C. His oeuvre of the past decade shows small shifts in his formalist rigor, a fixation on parallel lines and rectangular forms bending into triangles and angular arrangements. In some works, rounded arcs swoop through otherwise hard-edged arrangements. After re-examining and documenting the older works for the forthcoming catalog that will accompany the Katzen exhibition, App picked up old threads in his work to create the new series. Compositions once again soften into right angles embodying the simultaneous language of a contemporary computer screen, with window-like layering and a modernist sensibility. Emanating a soft, central glow through the play of paint color, many of the pieces seem to refer to digital screens, stages, and Hiroshi Sugimoto's long-exposure photographs of movie theaters. In particular, "Agora" and "Proscenium" most resemble monolithic projector televisions, with white, squarish planes resting on narrower black rectangles. The suggestion that these screens are off, the stage empty, adds a clever narrative to these otherwise abstract works: the contemporary substitute for meditation and tranquility versus the tranquility that can be achieved through painting.
In its title, Threshold conveys the spiritual and transportive nature of these new works, which are deceptive in their simple compositions. An intangible space opens up in the picture planes, existing for brief moments between colors and shapes and the slight translucence of the acrylic. From a distance it becomes hard to imagine that these works have a human creator, but this illusion dissolves with closer inspection. Slight imperfections, be they small areas of color inconsistency or minute wavers of a line, firmly root these works in the hand and the painting process. While the pieces in Threshold are more pared down than previous series in App's career, both in composition and color variety, the end results are no less complex.

Ishmael Instructs Isaac : an Introduction To the Qur'an for Bible Readers (99 Edition)by John Kaltner
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Jews, Christians, and Muslims trace their roots to Abraham and yet it is a shock to many Bible readers that some of the characters and stories in their sacred text are also found in the pages of Islam's sacred text, the Qur'an. By exploring the relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an in Ishmael Instructs Isaac, John Kaltner challenges Bible readers to think about their sacred book in new, exciting ways. In doing so, he leads al to a better appreciation of Islam.
After a brief overview of the text, themes, structure, and use of the Qur'an, Kaltner focuses on traditions that are shared with the Bible. He explains that the Bible and Qur'an contain many of the same themes, figures, and episodes. However, at times, there are significant differences in their descriptions of the same event or figure. By discussing such topics and figures as God, humanity, prophecy, creation, life after death, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mary, Kaltner examines the similarities and differences between the two texts. This comparative method allows readers to better appreciate both what is distinctive about Islam and what it shares with Judaism and Christianity.
Jews and Christians view Isaac as the son of Abraham in whom the family line continued. Muslims, on the other hand, view Isaac's brother Ishmael as the rightful heir. This difference must not obscure what is held in common: a belief in the one God and a family - albeit distant - relationship.
Written for undergraduate and seminary courses on Islam, the Qur'an, comparative religions, inter-religious dialogue, world scriptures, and biblical interpretation, Ishmael Instructs Isaac is also a useful resource for discussion groups in churches, synagogues, and mosques.
Includes English translations of the Qur'anic texts discussed.
John Kaltner, PhD, is assistant professor of religious studies at Rhodes College where he teaches courses in the Bible and Islam. He has worked in the Middle East with the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America.
Adam and Eve weren't concerned about traffic jams as they strolled through the Garden of Eden. The Ten Commandments weren't delivered to Moses by e-mail. So how does the Word, written so long ago, fit into everyday life today? The Connections series offers today's readers and students of Scripture an answer to that puzzling question.
Connections builds an understanding of the relationship between the Bible and everyday life by examining the individual pieces and how they fit together. It invites us to broaden our comprehension of the Bible and its applications to modern life by placing current Scripture scholarship within the concerns of other fields, such as ethical problems in light of Scripture, science and Scripture, contemporary social challenges and Scripture, and the Bible in non-biblical cultures.
This series reveals more of God's intent, encouraging us to study and reflect on the Word from the life experiences, outlooks, and wisdom of many people.
By exploring the relationship between the Bible and the Qur'an, John Kaltner challenges Bible readers to think about their sacred book in new, exciting ways. In doing so, he leads all to a better appreciation of Islam.
Jews, Christians, and Muslims trace their roots to Abraham, but the course of that lineage is not the same for all three faiths. Judaism and Christianity view Isaac, the son of Sarah, as the offspring of Abraham through whom the family line is continued. Islam, on the other hand, sees Ishmael, son of Hagar, as the rightful heir who carries on the family name. The two sacred texts of these religions, the Bible and the Qur'an, have much in common, highlighting the close relationship that exists between the two lines of Abraham's family. This book examines some of the themes, figures, and episodes that are shared by the Bible and the Qur'an. It is an introduction to the Qur'an for the descendants of Isaac, who are invited to listen to and learn from the way Ishmael and his descendants retell the family stories.
"Ishmael Instructs isaac is accessible enough to be a text for college-level courses, but insightful enough to be read with interest even by specialists."
Includes bibliographical references (p. 296-297) and indexes.

It really works
I have been wearing this for the last few weeks. I have gotten comments from friends, my mum and even the waiter at my local café! It does what is says and stays on well. It hasn't clumped or stiffened like others often do.

No Panda Smudges The Next Day - Easy Off In The Shower At Night
This high quality mascara is easy to apply with it's modern brush which ever-so-gently bends on application. It's got a ball type shape on the end which I find very clever as it helps to apply a bit more mascara just where I want it. It helps me to manipulate the formula precisely and also the long part of the brush does the whole lash if I want to go that way. It's a magnificent design!
I LOVE the way this mascara is also easy to take off at night and the next day I'm not left with any residue at all. I find with some long-lasting mascaras they are hard to remove and and reveal themselves the next day but this mascara comes off in the shower with my regular face cleanser at night.
I have this in brown which is a very beautiful deep brown and really shows off my lashes without the harshness which a black colour can do on me. The formula individualises each lash to give me 100% perfectly defined lashes. I LOVE this mascara! Deserves 50 stars really!
Oh yeah! It's all Australian, not tested on animals and full of healthy-to-humans ingredients! When this mascara runs out I'll buy another.

I love this mascara, the wand is a perfect size and easy to hold. The brush is brilliant, odd shape but works a treat for those hard to get lashes. No clumping no heavy looking black spiders just perfect coverage that looks great.

Great mascara, strange shape!
I was really excited to try this mascara mostly because the shape of the wand is very interesting.
The formula isn't sticky and doesn't make my lashes clump or go spidery. The bonus of this mascara is that it definitely doesn't destroy the curl I start with even after a couple of coats.
It didn't bleed or stain my lids and definitely stayed put for the 6 hours I had it on. I am very impressed with this mascara but still a little confused and find it a bit difficult to use with the shape at some points of my eye.

The perfect mascara
I have thin lashes which I like to curl but every other mascara would be either to heavy, too thick, or too watery & just uncurl my lashes instantly. This one works perfect on curled lashes & holds them in place. It has a silky finish and isn't clumpy.

Do Silverfish Bite?
When you think about a pest, you would think that it could harm someone or it could bite you. However, when you see a silverfish in your home, you ask, "Do silverfish bite?". Do not worry because silverfish pests do not bite.
Silverfish are one of the most common insects that may infest and feed some items that can be found in your homes. You can find them lurking in dark, humid and moist areas, like bathrooms sinks, attics and other areas in your house where they can find food. There has never been an account that they have bitten humans. They have never directly harm humans. But, these silverfish bugs are considered pests because they can damage a lot of household items like your wallpapers, clothes, books and others that have glue or paste on it.
It is important that you know how these silverfish pets look like. They are small insects (between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch) and have shimmering, silver-colored scales. Whenever they move, their tail ends move to and from much similar to a fish's fin, that's why they are called silverfish.
Silverfishes do chew and those their chewing and eating may damage paper, clothing and other items. They also feed on products that have sugar and flour and other products containing those. But despite their ability to chew holes in paper, they do never bite human beings so that is a relief.
These silverfish pests are somewhat sneaky. Because they are very small, they can easily slip into very small spaces due to their size and flattened body structure. You may start looking for these pests in your cupboards and drawers, beneath the bathtub, in corner crevices and in seams of wallpaper. Even if you have looked really closely, your homes may still have them. Look for silverfish in dark areas because they enjoy the dark and are most active at night as they are very nocturnal, indeed. Therefore, you may have silverfish in your home without you knowing it.
So how do we prevent these pests from infesting our homes?
One famous solution is using Boric acid. You may also use pesticides to get rid of silverfish. But the most important and safe solution is by getting their food sources in your homes. Whenever there is moisture, there are silverfish. Therefore, keep the moisture at home at a minimum since they hate dry environments. By controlling the moisture in your house will also help prevent mold and mildew which is a common factor upon which these bugs like to feed. Keep all your food that has grains and others like cereals, flour, sugar, cookies and other cupboard items in tightly sealed containers and don't leave them on their carton boxes. Diligent and thorough cleaning and drying will surely help.
Make sure that you don't mix up silverfish bugs to other pests. Silverfish are sometimes mistaken for centipedes, which do inflict painful bites. One way to tell the difference is to note how many legs the bug has. Upon close inspection of a silverfish, you'll see that it only has six legs and centipedes have more.

If Arian Foster isn't healthy, he won't play Sunday vs. the Saints. That's the line, anyway, from Texans coach Gary Kubiak who said Friday that the team won't make the decision on Foster until just before the game.
"We need Arian, as I tell you all the time," Kubiak said, via the Houston Chronicle. "We need to have all our best players on the field. But at the same time we're listening to Arian, listening to the doctors, and we'll come up with the best decision for the football team on Sunday.
"He's had good work this week but we've limited him a little bit so as not to over-load him, and we'll see how he responds."
Foster has been a nightmare for fantasy football users -- and you people are sick for even thinking so; and well, NFL.com is kind of sick for using this ad. He was inactive the first week, but after playing in the first half of Week 2, he pulled himself out of the game when his hamstring tightened. Foster said earlier this week that his hamstring felt better, but Ben Tate also likely will get the start this Sunday.
On Friday, Foster greeted reporters by saying, "I feel wonderful today." Then, he went on to say: "I'm not sure how to gauge progress anymore. It's tough. It's more mental than anything. It's not something you can really push through (and) play with. You've got to be patient. But I'm working hard and it feels like it's coming along. I'll keep fighting the good fight."
And all his fantasy owners fans will be watching with great interest.

Ben Tate has filled in admirably since Foster has gone down. This should be a shoot-out type of game with two high powered offenses on the field. I like the Texans, and who knows with Indy's iffy season so far. It just might be the year of the Texans in the AFC South.

Kubiak is full of $hit ! No way Foster sees the field ! What ? and agravate the hammy even further ? The Saints are not buying it either. Tate all the way !

Maybe that was his picture(MRI) he tweeted, the one with the torn hammy. Texas got mad and fined him for tweeting it. Later Foster came back and said he was only playing with the media and that wasn't really his MRI. Makes you wonder? I'm a Foster owner and wish I knew how serious his injury was before our draft. It would have pushed Tate up my draft board. I missed out on Tate but it could have been worse, I could have got Jamal Charles. I don't wish injuries on anyone and in terms of FF, it sucks but I hope Foster can come back healthy sooner rather than later.
As for the Texans, they are not missing a thing. Ben Tate has been a beast and Foster may become #2, Tate was a second round pick but injuries forced him to miss his rookie year. Foster seized his opportunity and led the league in rushing, my how the tables are turning. Good luck Arian, this injury may have cost him millions!

A couple things have turned up that may help to clear your mind and revive your spirit after the nastiness of this political campaign.Goodness knows, we need relief after the barrage of negative ads and insistent phone calls that candidates and political parties unleashed on us. I know that the political consultants are convinced that "going negative" is the only way to move the vote and win an election. But at some point, you wish that the grown-ups in this country - those who don't see elections as a profit-making business - would remind these talented character assassins of the damage they are doing to the system of representative government that has served this nation so well. Let me now climb down from my soapbox and tell you about the letter I recently received from former Sen. George McGovern, telling me that he is forming a bipartisan "Council of Elders," wise men and women who will occasionally consult informally with each other and be available, individually, to counsel people now making public policy. The 1972 Democratic nominee, still actively writing and speaking at age 84, points out that America has never developed a habit or mechanism for keeping its most experienced figures engaged even in advisory roles. His council is an informal stab in that direction. Among others, McGovern has enlisted such liberals as historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., former Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall, journalists Lewis Lapham and Gloria Steinem, Carrie Lee Nelson, the outspoken and humorous widow of Sen. Gaylord Nelson, and former Sens. Tom Eagleton, McGovern's first choice for vice president, and John Culver. Balancing them are several notable Republicans: former Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker and former Majority Whip Alan Simpson, and Rep. Henry Hyde, who is about to leave the House after championing conservative causes such as the anti-abortion movement. McGovern's enterprise reminds me of something that Lamar Alexander, soon to be Tennessee's senior senator, and perhaps move into the Republican leadership, told me he had learned many years ago from his apprenticeship under Bryce Harlow, the diminutive but powerful White House legislative and political adviser in the 1960s and 1970s. Harlow taught Alexander and others that it is a wise policy to have at least one old geezer on the White House staff, someone not entirely dependent on the current president for his power or position, someone who can speak with utter frankness without fear of the consequences. That's excellent advice, and my one regret is that my old colleague, Mary McGrory, who certainly would have qualified for McGovern's council of elders, did not live long enough to serve. But some of Mary's finest work is finally between hard covers in "The Best of Mary McGrory," published by Andrews McMeel and selected and edited, with great love, by Phil Gailey, a dear friend of Mary's from the old Washington Star and now at the St. Petersburg Times. In one column Gailey selected from The Washington Post, where Mary moved after the demise of the Star, she wrote about the era that was then just beginning but is now nearing its end. "Those who yearn for healing and unity in Washington," McGrory wrote, "had better look to the National Zoo. A pair of panda bears have arrived from China, and they'll bring people together because they provide amusement and delight, something that is not anticipated from a Cheney-Bush administration." Earlier, writing about the funeral of Richard Nixon, she observed: "He was smart, but he got something big wrong: He thought politics was war and that everything is justified. And what we can learn from this week is how much Americans want to love their presidents - and they will in life as well as in death, if they are given half a chance."•n n I mourn the death of a great reporter and a good friend and colleague, Helen Dewar, who gave Washington Post readers definitive coverage of Virginia politics and the Senate over the past decades. She dominated those beats, without ever raising her voice or flaunting her knowledge, and she managed to do everything - including fight the breast cancer that killed her - with immense dignity and good humor.

Authors: Elias, Kebede

Abstract: This work is devoted to the investigation of local raw materials, its preparations processes and characterization technique of a Cu-Fe-O applied as a catalyst for hydrocarbon (HC) oxidation. Samples obtained by high temperature solid state method using copper oxide (CuO) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) and by wet chemical synthesis method using water as a solvent, applying iron nitrate (Fe(NO3).9H2O) and copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2.3H2O). In wet synthesis method the thermal treatment at 100oC and 150oC, water and nitrates removed from the sample, respectively. Three samples prepared at different quantitative precursor composition that is Fe/Cu = 0.5, 1 and 2 for each principal procedures. Mixing and calcinations at 850oC for 8hours were the common unit operations for both preparation routes. In this work it is demonstrated that, the nature of preparation ways, the structural property of precursors and the quantitative precursor composition affects the formation of desired phase, crystal property, size and strain of crystals, microstructure and specific surface area of the sample; which are among the most relevant physical and chemical properties for the catalytic activity. The phase identification, structural property and morphology analysis of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Blaine air permeability apparatus and the samples prepared by solid state method on a precursor composition of Fe/Cu = 0.5 showed optimized property. STUDY OF DOMESTIC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN JIMMA TOWN, SOUTHWEST ETHIOPIA http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4878 Title: STUDY OF DOMESTIC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN JIMMA TOWN, SOUTHWEST ETHIOPIA

Authors: Dereje, Tadesse

Abstract: Improper solid waste management has become a major environmental problem in Jimma town. The town has been experiencing very poor solid waste management system. In-adequate solid waste management in the town has resulted in the accumulation of waste on open lands, in drains and in the residential areas, causing a nuisance and foul-smelling pools, environmental pollution through leachate from piles (water and soil pollution) and burning of waste (air pollution), clogging of drains. This study was, thus, conducted to fill the existing gap. The study was conducted on randomly selected 120 households that are estimated to represent all classes of income levels; low, middle and high. Daily waste generations from those households were collected and separated into its components; weight and volume of each component were recorded. This has been conducted for nine consecutive days to determine the average daily household waste generation rate and per capital daily generation rate. The study showed that solid waste generation rate has direct relationship with level of family's income. The findings of this study showed that low, middle and high-income level households generate 0.563kg/HH/day, 0.661kg/HH/day and 0.801kg/HH/day, respectively; and on average, a household generates 0.675kg/HH/day. Similarly, generation per capital per day from low, middle and high-income level was 0.129kg/cap/day, 0.136 kg/cap/day and 0.149kg/cap/day, respectively, and average of 0.140kg/cap/day. The daily, weekly, monthly and yearly solid waste generation rate of Jimma town was estimated to be 22.26, 155.82, 667.8 and 8,124.90 tons respectively. Results of experimental analysis of waste compositions showed high contents of food waste (36.03%) followed by miscellaneous waste (35.67%) and yard waste (17.87%). The survey analysis also showed that illegal solid waste disposal in open spaces is common practice in the study area and some of the main reasons raised by the respondents were the inappropriate placement and insufficient number of transfer stations and communal containers. The result of the proximate analysis showed high moisture content and this directly related to the trend of high consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits. And this ultimately lowers the calorific value of the material 3213.36 Btu/lb (7497.84kJ/kg). Development and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Aloe Based Packaging Films http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4408 Title: Development and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Aloe Based Packaging Films

Authors: Gashaw, Asefa

Abstract: This study was aimed at the development of antimicrobial packaging films, which is one of the most promising active packaging systems, from aloe and papaya leaves extracts with gelatine and glycerol. Three different extracts of papaya leaves were analyzed for their antimicrobial activities. Mechanically obtained papaya leaf extract showed the best result (12.10mm inhibition zone on S.typhi). Based on antimicrobial activity, film forming ability, transparency, and colour; Aloe debrana extract was found to be more appropriate for the development of antimicrobial packaging films than Aloe trichosantha extract. The antimicrobial activity of Aloe debrana extract was increased by the incorporation of papaya leaf extract up to 30%, above which it did not bring significant influence on most test organisms. As a result 70% Aloe debrana extract and 30% papaya leaf extract standard solution was prepared. Various concentrations of gelatine and glycerol were added to the standard solution for packaging films development. Films were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities, physicochemical, and mechanical properties. The antimicrobial activities of aloe based films were tested on E. coli, S. typhi, S.aureus, C. albicans, and F. xylarioides. All films exhibited inhibitory zones on the test microorganisms used in this study. A wide inhibition zone (6.52cm2) was observed on S. typhi growth whereas the least (4.20 cm2) was on C.albicans. Films were soluble in water with highest solubility (90.49%) for P1,1 (film with 1g glycerol and 1g gelatine) and lowest (44.57) for P0,2(film developed by adding only gelatine). Film solubility significantly increased as the concentration of glycerol increased and decreased as the concentration of gelatine increased. Film P0.5,2(with 0.5g glycerol and 2g gelatine) has showed maximum tensile strength (65MPa) where as the lowest (20MPa) was obtained by film P0.5,1(0.5g glycerol and 1g gelatine). Increasing gelatine concentrations significantly increases the tensile strength but glycerol has an opposite effect on the tensile strength. All the films were highly flexible and stretchable. Film P1,2(1g glycerol and 2g gelatine) showed the maximum elongation (180%) and the minimum elongation (89%) was obtained for P0.5,1. This study demonstrated the technological feasibility of developing antimicrobial packaging films from aloe and papaya leaves extracts. Effect of adding urea on biogas production potentials of selected fruit wastes in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/4406 Title: Effect of adding urea on biogas production potentials of selected fruit wastes in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Authors: Getachew, Dagnew; Gebreeyssus

Abstract: Fruit wastes are ideal candidates for anaerobic digestion because they contain high levels of easily biodegradable materials. These wastes from the central and biggest fruits, fish & vegetables retail and distribution market in Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia are poorly managed. Again problems such as low biogas/methane yield and process instability are often encountered in anaerobic digestion of these wastes, challenging its reliability and efficiency. This study evaluated the effect of adding urea on biogas (methane) potential of selected fruit wastes following characterization. A laboratory scale experiment on batch anaerobic mesophilic digestion was carried out. Selected and pretreated fruit wastes were fed to digesters using standard procedures. Analytical equipments, simple tools and statistical software were used for data analysis. The ultimate biogas yield from using avocado, banana, and mango fruit wastes as substrate is; 0.48, 0.57, 0.53 l/g VS without adding urea and 0.76, 0.82, 0.82 l/g VS adding urea with a statistically significant difference (p-value; 0.006 for avocado, 0.029 for banana, and 0.007 for mango FW at 95% Confidence Interval respectively). Thus urea addition significantly improved biogas yield. In relation to this, ultimate CH4 yield didn't show difference in response to the treatment and gave 0.27, 0.33, 0.27 l/g VS without adding urea and 0.44, 0.46, 0.43 l/g VS for avocado, banana, & mango fruit wastes with adding urea where the later yield is above average yield reported for fruits and vegetables wastes. Further, the biogas manure contains nutrients in their useful form and better than the row waste for plant growth signifying the advantages of anaerobic digestion. Prediction of biogas and biogas manure obtainable from the city's fruit wastes is also made.

|Meirav's 42some people have been sharing circles of 100, but me, I like smaller numbers. and seriously, as someone who has under 200 people circled in total, picking 100 would be way over the top. so I went for the obvious number of 42 :)These are not my top favourite 42 or my most relevant according to some algorithm or anything of the sort. And I will not tell you that they are the most wonderful people on earth, the creme de la creme of plusland, the greatest engagers or influencers or whatever managementspeak term is the word du jour. I'll be honest with you, as I tend to be when I'm not making up stories about penguins and stuff, and tell you the truth:These are all people I have had in my circles for a while and I like having them in my circles. They've grown on me. They've become part of my pluslife. I can't know if you'll also enjoy having them in your circles, because I'm not you and you're not me, we have different interests and different preferences and just as you might prefer a different ice cream flavour (I'm a Ben & Jerry's cookie dough gal) you are likely to find different people interesting or fun - but here's a circle of 42 people for you to try out if you would like to, and if you find that some of them are not quite your scene then you can always uncircle them. There's no "till death us do part" in plusland :)and no, you absolutely don't have to add them. It's just in case you are looking for more people to populate your stream.You are, in any case, welcome to cookies from the penguin's self-replenishing jar.

|Welcome to my "Inner Circle"...the last circle before you get into the circle of "Trust" and you get naming rights to my first born! ;) Ok, maybe not, but it is a great circle of people that I hear from quite often. Without at least having these top 100 in my circles, my G+ experience would be considerably different. These are just a few individuals that truly stand out in a crowd of about 1/2 a billion. Thanks for being awesome! ;) #sharedcircles #sharedpubliccircles #circleshare #circlesharing #circleoftheday #circleoffriends #sharingiscaring #sharingmeansthankyou #InnerCircle

|Creative Circle #8 of 11Creative Circle 1 of 11I am so impressed and enthused looking at the MicroVictoryArmy Stream that I'm going to do something radical. I"m going to share my other circles, invite the members to join MVA, and then I'm going to delete all those circles so I can give more attention here. I will keep one circle of people like the +Dalai Lama and +Richard Branson who I would love to have join MVA but I don't want to lose track of if they don't. And that's it. The Micro Victory Army is Victorious in my Circles and if you join - so are you. https://plus.google.com/communities/100245247140773385767 #microvictory for figuring out how to enjoy G+ and manage my circles better! I'm about to delete you (unless you are in MVA - it's not personal - I still love you)

|You're receiving this notification because you're in this circle(and I think one should get notifications when a circle containing them is shared).One of my closest RL friends is now on G+, and I promised to provide him a circle of people that I think would greatly improve his G+ experience. As you all have greatly improved mine, you've been included in this circle.I can't say that you all will like each other (him and you, or you and the other people in the circle), but everyone in this circle is significant to me.

|This was my first circle, called Circle of Awesomeness - it has some interesting people in it. Unfortunately, I have lost track of who originally posted it so I hope I am not doing something wrong here - my knowledge of Google+ is still rudimentary! It includes science fiction and science and also artwork-humour. If you want to join it you should share it publicly and add it to your circles, including yourself when you add it.Here are the hashtags I found copied with it on +martin shervington's page.

|Been cleaning up my circles and have decided to share my own circle. I call it the circle of peeps.These here folks are good honest people, who take little no BS. All have a love and desire for true freedom and are working to that end. IF you decide to add them, know this, more then likely, more then a few are going to piss you the hell off one way or the other at sometime. If they do, GOOD, it means you are not thinking straight.As to my peeps that are NOT in this circle, you know who you are, let me know, it makes my circle management easier.If you get notified of this post, you know the drill.EDIT: I will repost the updated one much later as i do some more circle managment

|The "I'm Putting You On The Spot" CircleSo -- I put this post out back in March and made everyone work hard at thinking about this. Some superstars did make the list and some of the popular folks; but I decided not to do any censorship of the recommendations. It wasn't strictly adhering to the rules - but I have a soft spot for the rule breakers sometimes. ha! This is one amazing list and the vast majority of people here are either under-circled, or new to G+, or just haven't had champions to put their names forward much. [Some people may be superstars now as the G+ world moves fast! -ed.]This was the original question posed...Can you tell me the names of two people who you feel have not been recognized enough on G+ yet? Two people who may not be a part of any "in-crowd," and who very few people may know about - but people nevertheless who you think are way beyond cool and have the most incredible things to say?I've never shared a circle before on Google+. I've given some recommendations here and there - but now I want to see what you think - and I want to create my FIRST EVER post-driven circle. So --- I know how hard this is, and I'm asking a difficult question.CAN YOU GIVE ME TWO NAMES (and only two names)?Original Post: https://plus.google.com/103333429938529668020/posts/4Z8sMpuQ5ej

|So this is where I'm pushing my passion. I haven't written a nicely polished mission statement yet but here's the idea:There are a good number of very talented self-pub authors on here who do not have the time and resources to market and promote their work adequately and efficiently. This group and project is all about bringing writers and writer related people and services together to help each other out. The aim is to promote and help everyone within the group in a fair and equal manner so that everyone benefits and grows. Feel free to contact me for more details and share the circle around.

|Time for #followfriday ! This #circleshare represents everyone who has replied to or shared my posts since last #followfriday . Some of you have no doubt noticed, as I just did, that it's quite a lot smaller than usual. Perhaps my content was especially shit this week... or perhaps the fact that I'm getting ready to move has meant I posted less stuff. Who knows?Anyway, those of you who are reading this are probably following me, which means you probably share some interests with me, and therefore with them. So, add the #circle ! Add it now! Make your G+ world a better place!Thanks to everyone who commented. Have a great weekend, and don't do anything I wouldn't do... unless it seems fun. In which case, do it, and then tell me about it so I can do it. If you're being notified, you're in it! Share!)

|You Turn Me OnThis is my happy little constantly evolving circle of sapiosexual delights. Formerly a circle in which I shared folks who like smart folks, it's now a circle comprising people who post things that excite and arouse me for one reason or another. I've previously explained the root source for the prefix sapio ; here it is again, but from wikipedia this time.The word sapience is derived from the Latin sapientia, meaning "wisdom".[23] Related to this word is the Latin verb sapere, meaning "to taste, to be wise, to know"; the present participle of sapere forms part of Homo sapiens, the Latin binomial nomenclature created by Carolus Linnaeus to describe the human species. Linnaeus had originally given humans the species name of diurnus, meaning man of the day... he later decided that the dominating feature of humans was wisdom, hence application of the name sapiens. His chosen biological name was intended to emphasize man's uniqueness and separation from the rest of the animal kingdom..+Shared Circles on G+ +Sapiosexual +Public Circles +The Best Circles on Google+

Dear Family and Friends,
We need your help! In order to cover some of the co-pays and additional genetic testing, we need financial help to make this happen.
Our appointment with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is on the 21st. They will help us with getting our insurance to cover as much as possible, but there will be co-pays due since our insurance will not cover exome sequencing in full. We also will need help with funding additional testing through 23andme.com and the Victor Center in Philadelphia.
Please also check for updates on this page. I will be updating Rebekah's Blog with more details about the specifics and the reasons for the testing going forward.
Our costs will be well over $2,000 once all 3 children have been tested, however, Rebekah's symptoms are more severe and are bigger concern to determine the cause and whether or not this is a... more »

Question of the day.
Greed's literal definition is marked by selfishness, but can someone be greedy (desiring to accumulate wealth or material objects, to have more) without being selfish?
Can greed and compassion go hand and hand? Or are they mutually exclusive?
If the latter, how would you define a charitable over-consumer?

Human beings evolved to see a singular Universe in bits and pieces.
Because the Universe is a whole and not a collection of random parts, these bits and pieces relate to each other in calculable and quantifiable ways. They form patterns, ecosystems, environments. Every single bit has a relationship with all the pieces. Nothing exists that does not depend on everything else for its existence.
The Universe, reality, is a relationship.
People are excellent at deconstructing the Universe into bits and pieces. We're less adept at seeing the Universe as the whole, the singularity.

Every-Minute Zen
Zen students are with their masters at least ten years before they presume to teach others, after all learning all one can isn't as easy as learning how to ask a girl out or how to ride one's bicycle. These are lessons that take the span of a decade to master.
Nan-in was visited by Tenno, who, having passed his apprenticeship, had become a teacher. The day happened to be rainy, so Tenno wore wooden clogs and carried an umbrella. After greeting him Nan-in remarked: "I suppose you left your wodden clogs in the vestibule. I want to know if your umbrella is on the right or left side of the clogs."
Tenno, confused, had no instant answer . He realized that he was unable to carry his Zen every minute. He became Nan-in's pupil, and he studied six more years to accomplish his every-minute... more »

A Mother's Advice
Jiun, a Shingon master, was a well-known Sanskrit scholar of the Tokugawa era. When he was young he used to deliver lectures to his brother students.
His mother heard about this and wrote him a letter:
"Son, I do not think you became a devotee of the Buddha because you desired to turn into a walking dictionary for others. There is no end to information and commentation, glory and honor. I wish you would stop this lecture business. Shut yourself up in a little temple in a remote part of the mountain. Devote your time to meditation and in this way attain true realization."
Note: This koan is fascinating because it presents an opinion on two seemingly opposing lifestyles and invites the reader to choose a side. Will you accept this invitation?

A logical fallacy: Dismissing something as ineffective in routine cases, because it is not true in the most extreme case.
Example: Eating healthy is a waste of time for everyone because little Susie has a terminal genetic condition, and lifestyle changes won't help her.
You cannot simply dismiss (rationally) something that may work for most people because it obviously can't work for a few people. It doesn't make such a thing wrong.
It just means that we must use our judgment when applying it, instead of believing such a thing is an absolute.

Statements on anger.
Anger has no place in an ordered society where discussion is valued over violence. Anger's main purpose is to rile up and organize the like-minded. It rarely effectively changes peoples' opinions, but instead deepens already-held beliefs.
Anger generally serves to push those away who are on the fence, don't hold an opinion, or who disagree.
This doesn't matter if the intent is violent. It's only necessary to rally your own "forces" against the opposition, and where anger is concerned, "if you're not with us, you're against us." It won't matter if you offend those who are not sure what to believe, who need persuading for one side or the other. You consider them inferior to you, stupid, or bad.
In a society, especially a liberal society where we hope to do away with violence, as well as... more »

I did an experiment on myself tonight. Could I start a discussion and stay neutrally objective? Could I refrain from being angry about something someone said to me? Could I not identify with being hurt?
Copacetic is better than pissed off, let me tell you. Now if only I can box this up and use it again, every time I need it. Is it applicable, exportable? I'm going to find out.
Practice makes perfect.

Enlightenment is not a way out of being human, an escape from the anguish that marks us, but a way into being fully comfortable with my human guise.

This deals with the high rate of sexual misconduct by prison staff, specifically misconduct by staff in juvenile correction facilities.

So, this guy circled me today. That's an amazing piece of writing.

In hopes this motivates someone:
This weekend was my cheat weekend. I ate really clean for two or three weeks, I earned it :D
I had Lucky Charms and Little Caesars. All weekend. That's all I ate.
I've got the cravings out of my system, and I'm pumped up to get back into my diet. I have the list of food I'm going to eat in front of me, but I haven't eaten anything yet (I had coffee with turmeric and coconut oil for breakfast!). I feel my body telling me to get back into intermittent fasting. This would e a good time to start again.
No pressure though. I'll probably have one meal tonight, and then roll over my list so whatever I didn't eat today I'll eat double of tomorrow, and do another 20-24 hours fast on Wednesday.
And since today will be a fasting day, my one meal will consist of a lot of veggies. I'll probably... more »

Everything is Best, A Zen Koan
One day Banzan was walking through a market. He overheard a customer say to the butcher, "Give me the best piece of meat you have." "Everything in my shop is the best," replied the butcher. "You can not find any piece of meat that is not the best." At these words, Banzan was enlightened.

I always see people dismissing sports as a waste, but every football season I come back to the same thing, that football is a perfect analogy for life.
In football you can never look ahead, and you can never look behind. You have to stay focused on the next game, and the best way to do that is to stay focused on what you're doing right now, preparing for that game by giving the best practice you can give, working the hardest you can in the film room, doing your best to rehab injuries, etc.
The moment players and coaches start looking ahead and try to take in more of the season than just the immediate upcoming game (or get distracted by nightclubs and personal drama), guys get in trouble. Fans always hear about a team getting caught looking ahead (or behind), and losing to a team they could have beaten. It's the "trap" game.
Life is just like this. Every... more »

Remove the theological aspects of faith, and all faith really is is a confidence or trust. People who are hung up on the theological aspects of the term refuse to believe that pretty much every conscious decision a person makes is faith-based. We can have all the facts in the world, and can have done a thing a million times without fail, but if we're consciously doing something with the expectation that it will work, we're doing it on faith.
In fact, the more evidence we have that a thing will work, the more we can rely on faith and let go of logic and reason. In other words we can relax and go with the flow.
You do not have to think about not walking out over the edge of a cliff. You can simply rely on faith that you will fall if you do, and base your decision on that. Peer-reviewed studies are not necessary in this case.

Be what you want to be right now. It's the only time it counts. Don't wait until tomorrow. Don't work on it. Be it. Not all day. Not all week. No goals. Just this second.

I am a biological creature that acts primarily on instinct and habit. My feelings, my goals, my needs, these things aren't mine so much as they are an expression of all of human nature through my individual thoughts and actions. There is no separate "me" or "I," but only a grammatical convention. I did not come into this world but came out of it. I am the world. Everything I am depends on everything else. I cannot see without the light of the sun, I cannot digest food without my intestinal bacteria, I cannot think without thinking the thoughts of my species. My entire life is a shared experience with others, whether I want it to be or not, because all of this happens without my making it happen. I am part of a continuum of events, and no single event is separate from the whole of it.
Now, how curious would it be if I could simply step back and watch that "I"... more »

I'm starting to think about "emptiness" as the world void of meaning, as in what life is actually, without projecting our concepts onto it. Emptiness is when you see something and do not apply an idea to it, or attempt to define it in anyway. When you just accept a thing as it is.
So in this way the world is empty, nothing, because it does not come with prepackaged concepts. It's up to human beings to give our world meaning, to understand it, to define it and split it up into its individual parts.
We can use science, politics, religion, etc., for this, but really it's quite an automatic and spontaneous process that happens outside and regardless of our major systems of communication. Nothing is necessarily better than the other, and the entire process depends on language. It really comes down to what you're attempting to do. How do you want to identify with ... more »

The WWE Network, the 24/7 streaming service announced this week at CES 2014, will be available through a multitude of devices including consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the company has announced. The service launches in the United States on February 24.
In the United States, users can watch live shows and archived content through the WWE Network via a $10/month subscription. This includes access to all 12 WWE live pay-per-view events like WrestleMania 30, as well as reality shows and documentaries.
The WWE Network can be streamed through PC and mobile devices, while dedicated apps for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 will be available at launch. The Xbox One app is scheduled to arrive sometime this summer. No mention is made of support for Nintendo platforms in the WWE Network's extensive FAQ, though the company says availability for additional devices will come at a later date.
Most WWE Network programming will be commercial-free, the company said, explaining that some content will feature "limited promotional content." The streaming service is scheduled to launch in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Nordics by the end of 2014 or early 2015.
