Education in the New Age
Education in the New Age
Education has become of major importance today in all parts of the world. The requirements of education under modem conditions of international relationships and in the light of an emerging new civilisation, are occupying the attention not only of those countries now providing education for the masses of their peoples for the first time in history, but also of countries where a form of compulsory education has been in existence for some time. What should be the principles and purposes underlying new educational techniques? What should these techniques be?
In this pamphlet certain ideas and concepts fundamental to education in all its aspects, and in the many different circumstances of the modern world, are presented.
Education in the New Age
Education Past and Present
Education, up to the present time, has been largely occupied with the art of synthesising past history and past achievement in all departments of human thought and with the attainments to date of human knowledge. It has been primarily backward-looking and not forward-looking.
The values of modern education are still largely competitive, nationalistic and, therefore, separative. The child comes to regard the material values as of major importance, to believe that his particular nation is also of major importance and that every other nation is secondary. This has fed his pride and fostered the belief that he, his group, his religion and his nation are superior to other people and peoples. He becomes consequently a one-sided person with his world values wrongly adjusted and his attitudes to life distinguished by bias and prejudice.
Education has also concerned itself with the organising of the lower mind, (the purely rational as distinct from creative and intuitive faculties). To read, to write and to be able to do elementary arithmetic are regarded as the minimum requirements. The rudiments of the arts are taught to children in order to enable them to function with the needed efficiency in a competitive setting and in their particular environment.
The natural idealism of the child (and what child is not an innate idealist?) has been slowly and steadily suffocated by the weight of the materialism of the world's educational machine.
Little by little this disastrous state of affairs has been changing, so that today in many countries the welfare of the state itself, the need of the nation, is held before the child from its earliest years an the highest possible ideal. This is a definite step forward in the expansion of consciousness which the human race must achieve, for expansion of consciousness and the production of increased sensitivity and perceptive awareness to the larger whole are the goals of all evolutionary endeavour. A further step is to be seen in the fact that everywhere and in every country men are taught to be exponents of certain group ideologies. These ideologies are, in the last analysis, materialising dreams, visions, or ideas.
Leading educational thinkers and organisations today, including UNESCO at the world level, are increasingly emphasising the moral, ethical and spiritual objectives and needs of the educational process. It is, therefore, apparent that behind all the surface turmoil and chaos present today in the consciousness of humanity human beings are beginning to blend in themselves three states of consciousness: that of the individual, of the citizen, and of the idealist. Humanity's sense of world awareness is definitely growing.
The Task and Objectives of the New Education
Education has three major objectives, from the angle of human development.
First, it must make a man an intelligent citizen, a wise parent, and a controlled personality, able to play his part harmoniously and constructively in the work of the world.
Second, the gap between the lower mind and the soul has to be bridged. The true work of education is to train the man in right discrimination and accurate sensitivity to moral and spiritual ideas and ideals, so that he can build true to the purpose of his soul and produce upon the earth that which will be his contribution to the whole. Curiously enough humanity has always recognised this and has talked therefore in terms of "achieving unity" or "attaining alignment". These are all attempts to express this intuitively realised truth.
Third, it must enable him to bridge the gap between the various aspects of his own mental nature.
The true education is consequently the science of linking up the integral parts of man: also of linking him up in turn with his immediate environment, and then with the greater whole in which he has to play his part. This involves the process of acquiring facts, and then learning to infer and gather from this information what can be of practical use in any given situation. It involves the process of learning wisdom, as an outgrowth of knowledge. This is the power to apply knowledge in such a manner that sane living, and an understanding point of view, plus an intelligent technique of conduct, are the natural results. It is finally a process whereby unity or a sense of synthesis is cultivated.
The coming education, therefore, should cover training for citizenship, for parenthood, and for world understanding and could be defined in a new and broader sense as the science of right human relations and of social organisation.
The general trend of the new education should, therefore, be more psychological than in the past and educators should in the future lay emphasis upon:
Finally, education should present the hypothesis of the soul in man as the interior factor which produces the good, the true and the beautiful.
"Mystical perception" therefore is no more and no less than the power, innate in man, to reach out and to grasp that which is greater and better than himself. It is the power to appreciate and to strive after the apparently unattainable good.
The objective of education should, therefore, be the training of the personality mechanism to respond to the life of the soul. Creative expression and humanitarian effort will then be spiritually based and there will be a more realistic answer to the question, what is
Unfoldment and Study of the Child
There is an urgent need for the development of more adequate means of understanding and studying children and young people if the objectives of the new education are to be achieved. The future education can only be built on a comprehensive appreciation of man's nature and constitution, and the process of his unfoldment.
The sequence of the child's growth, based upon the process of unfoldment in a human being, can be briefly tabulated an follows:
Every child should be studied first, to ascertain the natural trend of his impulses. Are they towards physical expression? Is there a latent capacity for one or other of the arts? Is the intellectual calibre one that should warrant a definitely mental training in analysis, deduction, mathematics or logic? Then perhaps as life goes on our young people will be graded into two groups: the mystical, under which one would group those with religious, cultural and artistic tendencies; and the occult, which would include the intellectual, scientific and mental types.
By the time the child is seventeen the training given should have enabled him to strike his note clearly, and should have indicated the pattern to which his life impulses will most probably run. In the the first fourteen years opportunity should be given to experiment in many fields of experience. Pure vocational training should not be emphasised until the later years of the educational process.
The time is coming when children will be studied far more comprehensively than is at present the case. In particular this will be made possible through:
In order to bring this about the best that the East has to offer and the knowledge of the West should be made available. In addition to the methods of studying the child outlined above, all children should be studied medically, with special attention to the endocrine system and the development of the response apparatus, and vocationally, so that later in life their gifts and capacities may find fullest expression. In time scientific astrology will be developed as a means of determining the life tendencies and the peculiar problem of the soul.
All children will also be studied spiritually--the apparent age of the soul and the place on the ladder of evolution will be approximately noted; mystical and introspective tendencies will be considered and their apparent lack noted. Coordination of all aspects of the individual will be carefully investigated so as to bring the entire equipment of the child into a functioning and united whole.
The word "spiritual" does not refer to religious matters, so-called. All activity which drives the human being forward towards some form of development--physical, emotional, mental, intuitional, social--if it is in advance of his present state is essentially spiritual in nature and is indicative of the livingness of the inner divine entity. The spirit of man is undying; it forever endures, progressing from point to point and stage to stage upon the path of evolution, unfolding steadily and sequentially the divine attributes and aspects.
If a true understanding of the seven basic ray types, of the constitution of man and of astrology, plus a right application of synthetic psychology is of any use at all, it must demonstrate itself in the production of a correctly coordinated, wisely developed, highly intelligent and mentally directed human being.
Education and the Seven Rays
There are seven "rays" or qualities of energy influencing humanity and producing seven basic types of human being. It is with these qualities and characteristics and with their related traits and instincts that the future educational systems should work:
The New Education
It is the production of some form of culture--material or spiritual, or material and spiritual--which is the objective of all education.
Civilisation is the reaction of humanity to the purpose of any particular world period. In each age, some idea must be expressed in the current racial idealism.
Culture is the approximation of two ways--feeling and mind; of two worlds--sensitivity and thought; and of the attitudes, relational in nature, which will enable a man to live as an intelligent, subjective being in a tangible physical world. The man of culture relates the world of meaning to the world of appearances and regards them as constituting one world with two aspects.
In the last analysis, civilisation concerns the masses and the racial consciousness, while culture concerns the individual and the creative, spiritual man.
Schools and Colleges
In the schools of today, primary schools, secondary schools, and colleges and universities, there can be seen an imperfect and symbolic picture of the triple objectives of the new education: civilisation, culture, unification.
Elementary or Primary Schools might be regarded as the custodians of civilisation; they should fit the child for citizenship, teach him his place as a social unit, and emphasise his group relations.
High Schools or Secondary Schools should regard themselves as the custodians of culture; they should emphasise the larger values of history and literature and give some understanding of art. They should begin to train the boy and girl for that future profession or mode of life which it is obvious will condition them. Citizenship will be taught in larger terms, the world of true values be pointed out and idealism consciously and definitely cultivated. The youth of the world should begin to relate the worlds of objective outer living and of inner subjective existence.
Colleges and Universities should provide a higher extension of all that has already been done.
Fitting a man for citizenship in the Kingdom of God is not essentially a religious activity. It should be the task of the higher education, giving purpose and significance to all that has been done.
Instinct--intellect--intuition--provide the keynotes for the three scholastic institutions through which every young person will pass. The first effort of education to civilise the child will be to train and rightly direct his instincts. The second obligation upon the educators will be to bring about his true culture, by training him to use his intellect rightly. The third duty of education will be to evoke and develop the intuition.
Energy Relationships
Education should be basically concerned with relations and interrelations, with the bridging or the healing of cleavages, and thus with the restoration of unity or synthesis.
There is a thread of energy, which we call the life or spirit aspect, anchored in the heart. It uses the blood stream as its distributing agency.
There is another thread of energy, which we call the consciousness aspect or the faculty of soul knowledge, anchored in the centre of the head. It controls the brain and directs activity by means of the nervous system.
These two energy factors, which are recognised by human beings as life and knowledge, or as living energy and intelligence, are the two poles of a child's being. The task ahead of him is to develop consciously the middle or balancing aspect, which is love or group relationships. A true balance will be brought about by the recognition that the way of service is a scientific technique for achieving this balance.
Educators, therefore, have three things to bear in mind during the present period of transition:
a. Serve as a directional agency, finally indicating vocation and avocation.
The meeting of these three requirements will be the primary step (made on a racial scale) to the building of the "antahkarana",* or the bridge in consciousness, between:
It should be noted here that the bridging has to be done in the consciousness aspect, and concerns the continuity of man's awareness of life in all his various aspects.
*Antahkarana (Sanskrit): The word is derived from antah meaning inner, and karana meaning instrument.
Three New Age Sciences
Three major sciences should influence the field of education in the new age.
These three sciences may be regarded eventually as the three major concerns of the educational process and emphasis will be increasingly placed upon them.
The tendency of the newer education should be to make the subject of the educational experiment the conscious possessor of his equipment; it should leave him standing clear-eyed before life, with open doors ahead of him into the world of objective phenomena and relationships; it should have brought him to the knowledge of a door leading into the world of soul reality through which he may pass at will, and there assume and work out his relation to other souls.
Education and World Unity
An international system of education, developed in joint conference by broad-minded teachers and educational authorities in every country, is today a crying need and would provide a major asset in preserving world peace. The initial outlines of a world educational systern are emerging today particularly as a result of the pioneering work of UNESCO.
World democracy will take form when men everywhere are regarded in reality as equal. World unity will be a fact when the children of the world are taught that religious differences are largely a matter of birth. Right human relations will be established when the children of every country are taught two major ideas. They are the value of the individual and the fact of the one humanity. The value of the individual and the existence of that whole we call humanity are most closely related. These two principles will lead to the intensive culture of the individual and then to his recognition of his responsibility as an integral part of the whole body of humanity. Thus gradually our quarrels and differences will be offset and the idea of the one humanity will take their place.
It is bridging work that has now to be done. If, in the immediate future, we develop this technique of bridging the many cleavages found in the human family and in offsetting the racial hatred. and the separative attitudes of nations and people, we shall have succeeded in creating a world in which war will be impossible.
Is it not possible to build our teaching of history upon the great and good ideas which have conditioned the nations and made them what they are, and emphasise the creativity which has distinguished all of them? Can we not present more effectively the great cultural epochs which--suddenly appearing in some one nation--enriched the entire world and gave to humanity its literature, its art and its vision?
We should place emphasis on those great moments in human history wherein man's divinity flamed forth. These moments produced the Magna Carta; they gave emphasis through the French Revolution to the concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity; they formulated the American Bill of Rights and the Four Freedoms; and they have culminated in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These are the great concepts which must govern the new age with its nascent civilisation and its future culture.
A growing idealism is fighting its way into the forefront of the human consciousness in spite of all separative enmities. It is largely responsible for the present chaos, and for the establishment and growth of the United Nations and its specialised agencies. It has produced the conflicting ideologies which are seeking world expression. These conflicting idealisms are a wholesome sign, whether we agree with them or not. Out of it should emerge a tolerant and inclusive attitude of mind and a tendency to synthesis. This the soul of man nurtures and expresses.
The sense of responsibility is one of the first indications that the soul of the individual is awakened. The soul of humanity is also at this time awakening en masse, and hence the following indications:
It is difficult for modern man to conceive of a time when there will be no racial, national or separative religious consciousness present in human thinking. It will be obvious that very many decades must elapse before such a state of affairs will be actively present. But it could be decades and not centuries.
Much greater care will have to be given in selecting and training the teachers of the future.
Cooperative goodwill is surely the first idea to be presented to the masses and taught in our schools.
Loving understanding, intelligently applied, should be the hallmark of the cultured and wiser groups.
World citizenship, as an expression of both goodwill and understanding, should be the goal of the enlightened everywhere and the hallmark of the spiritual man, and in these you have right relations established between education, religion and politics.
Enlightenment is the major goal of education. It is in this statement and region of thought that the distinction is to be found between the work of the Buddha and the Christ. The Buddha achieved "enlightenment", and was the first of our humanity to do so. Christ, because of the attainment of the Buddha and because of His own point in evolution, inaugurated the "age of love", and gave to the people an expression of a new divine aspect, that of love.
The Buddha culminated the "age of knowledge". The Christ began the "age of love". Both ages embody and express two major divine principles. Thus the new education has been made possible by the work of the Buddha. The new religion has been made possible by the work and the life of the Christ.
In the future, illumination will be viewed primarily from the intellectual angle and the whole subject will be approached mentally, and not so definitely (as is the case today) from the angle of religion. Illumination, mysticism and religion have gone hand in hand. One of the major contributions of the present age to the unfoldment of the race has been the growing recognition that spirituality is not to be confined only to the acceptance and the following of the precepts contained in the world scriptures.
The keynote of the new education is essentially right interpretation of life, past and present and its relation to the future of mankind. The keynote of the new religion must and should be right approach to God, transcendent in nature and immanent in man, whilst the keynote of the new science of politics and government will be right human relations. For both of these education must prepare the child.
Those working in these three groups must eventually proceed in the closest cooperation, and it is for this planned understanding and this intelligent activity of mankind that the new education must prepare.

JAY–After a magnificent game the last time these two teams met back in March (albeit the post game stuff was not so great), the anticipation level was high when the Essex Hornets came in to square off against the North Country boys hockey team Friday night at Jay Peak.
Instead, despite a revamping of the lines in hopes of generating more offense, the Falcons fell 5-2 to the boys in gold and blue.
However, in the loss, coach Andrew Roy was quick to talk about the positives from the game.
ORLEANS–Lake Region dropped its' 5th straight contest Friday night in a match-up against the Lyndon Institute Vikings by the score of 49-39.
The Rangers looked determined to end the losing streak and started off the contest better than their last matchup against the Vikes. In their previous meeting, the blue and white found themselves trailing 19-4 after the first 8 minutes of play.
ORLEANS-The Lake Region Lady Rangers and Windsor Yellow Jackets have waged some epic battles in championship play since 2007. The pair of perennial championship contenders have made a habit out of playing big games against each other. Windsor has had the last word winning three of four title clashes. They have combined a strong skill set with a little good fortune, as they have played the LR girls with the Rangers down a key player in the last two title games.
NEWPORT–In the second half of the double-header, it was the UCA boys squaring off against the Websterville Baptist Warriors. The contest could be called a soul crushing defeat for United Christian, as the Crusaders as dropped the game 93 -27 to the Warriors.
"Obviously the score reflects that they were definitely the better team today," said Coach Tony DeLaBruere.
At the start of the game UCA seemed to be able to run with the quick moving Warriors.
NEWPORT–It was a tough day at the court for the UCA Lady Crusaders on Tuesday, as they fell to the Chelsea Red Devils 65-23.
The first quarter started out optimistically for UCA. The two teams traded baskets with Laura Libby putting up six points in the opening eight minutes to lead the Crusaders.
"I was very pleased to have us come out and play in the first quarter," said coach Sarah Roy,"They pressed us and we handled the press ok."
JAY–After back to back years of thrilling overtime wins and crushing lopsided defeats against Mount Mansfield, the North Country girls hockey team finally had their revenge, dominating the Cougars in a 6-3 win Thursday night.
"It was great," said assistant coach Tracy Muzerall, who has felt the Cougars' bite in the past, "Every year every teams' dynamic is different and this year we have a great group of girls and a great group of freshman who are stepping up to the plate and playing lead roles on the team."
JAY–In the second game of the hockey double header, the stands were full of recent North Country graduates, on hand to watch their alma mater win a close 3-2 game over the Burlington Seahorses.
In their first encounter, the Falcons scored four goals in five minutes en route to an 8-3 win at Leddy Park.
This game would be much different.
North Country had the momentum early, but penalties slowed them down and allowed Burlington to take the advantage through the middle stages of the first period.
NEWPORT-- The North Country Falcons faced off against the Missisquoi Thunderbirds for the 2nd time in 2 weeks on Friday.
After dropping the first contest, they avenged their loss, walking away with a 61-51 victory, while holding the T-Birds leading scorer Matt St. Amour to 16 points after he had scored 40 in the previous meeting.
Caleb Prue and Tyler Paxman connected early, putting North Country out on top 10-6 midway through the first. The quarter would end in favor of NCU, with Jason Hatin going on a personal 4-0 run to push the score to 14-11.
CANAAN – The UCA Crusaders took to the road Tuesday night to face off against Canaan, but unfortunately both teams came home emptied handed, with the boys losing 66-48, and the girls falling 69-25.
To the boys game first. After trailing by 22 at half, Coach Tony DelaBruere said his team "came out ready to play in the 2nd half;" and that they, "had a certain game plan and they executed it in the 2nd half."
United Christian had 3 players score in double figures, led by Paul Samaan's 22, Dale Martell and Jon DelaBruere each chipped in with 12.
ST.ALBANS–The Falcons' boys basketball team traveled to Franklin County Tuesday night to face BFA St. Albans, and despite a strong outing, fell to the Bobwhites 52-49.
"It was a very exciting game," said coach Bonvechio, "We played some of our best basketball, especially in the second quarter."
After finishing the first quarter trailing by three, North Country came out flying in the second, outscoring the opposition 23-9, and took a 33-21 lead into the break.
In the third quarter it would be miscues and missed chances that would allow the Bobwhites to creep back into the game.

Carbon County ended last year with roughly 51 fewer employment opportunities than in 2003. The decrease represents a local job loss of 0.6 percent.
"With the latest employment data for the fourth quarter of 2004, we can look back at the year and see where we were and where we are going," explained Michael Hanni, regional/labor economist for the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
The pick-up in job growth in the latter half of 2004 is encouraging for Carbon County's economy.
The positive economic sign was reflected in the local unemployment rate, which retreated from a high of 6.9 percent in January to the year's lowest 5.4 percent level in December 2005.
In addition, construction permit data and gross taxable sales point to Carbon County's improving economic health, noted Hanni.
However, the county's current unemployment rate remains missing in action as the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics continued with the federal government's transition to a new statistical model, indicated the department or workforce services economist.
A new unemployment series for Carbon County should be available later in the summer.
Year-over job growth in fourth quarter 2004 reached 1.4 percent in the county.
"Simply put, between the fourth quarters of 2003 and 2004, Carbon County added 121 jobs," commented the department of workforce services economist. "This marks the second straight quarter of positive employment growth."
"Perhaps the thing that jumps out the most in the latest data is the strong growth in the county's manufacturing sector. A gain of 77 jobs in this sector is a little surprising in a time when rural areas are seeing their manufacturing bases all but disappear, added Hanni.
But on a negative note, the department of workforce services economist confirmed that one of Carbon County's traditional industries displayed increased weakness in fourth quarter 2004.
Employment in the local coal industry stumbled as underground mining operations shed jobs.
In addition, employment positions in support services for oil and gas extraction was nearly halved last year.
Overall the county's mining industry lost 50 jobs compared to 2003
On the positive side of the local economic spectrum, the service producing industries created 57 employment opportunities, though the growth belies serious volatility, continued Hanni.
However, Carbon County's retail trade and government sectors along with professional and business services posted double digit declines in employment positions in last year.
Cuts in education primarily accounted for the decrease in in the number of local government jobs in the county.
The losses in the local retail trade, government, professional and business sectors were offset by gains in health care services and accommodations and food services. It isn't clear what all this movement in the service sector means, but one thing we are watching is if labor is being shifted into lower paying industries. This possibility will require further research before a firm answer can be given.
Wage data provides another window on the county's labor market. Average annual wages rose 5.2 percent in 2004 over 2003. With inflation rising 2.7 percent nationwide in 2004, the county still experienced a healthy 2.5 percent increase. Higher wages fuel additional purchases of goods and services which, in turn, create additional economic opportunities in the county.
Construction valuation jumped in fourth quarter. Unincorporated Carbon County was the clear beneficiary of increased construction activity at the end of last year. When the latest data is compared with that of the same quarter in 2004, the value of permits issued for those areas rose roughly 155 percent. This jump made up for losses in the county's towns, allowing the county wide total valuation to rise from $4.84 million in 2003 to $8.14 million in 2004.
After several quarters of holding steady at 5 percent growth, year-over taxable sales in fourth quarter 2004 increased by 13.3 percent. Business investment purchases leapt, suggesting that the county's economic health continues to improve. Echoing the increase, wholesale and retail sales were robust in the quarter. Service sales, while smaller in magnitude, also grew, helped in part by a near doubling in hotel and lodging sales.

BARTON – The aroma of burgers, coffee and farm animals filled the air on the Kinsey Road yesterday as auctioneer Reg Lussier auctioned off about 160 head of cattle at Northeast Kingdom Sales. Lussier also auctioned pigs and a couple of horses.
Jim Young, co-owner of Northeast Kingdom Sales, said the cattle were on consignment. Northeast Kingdom Sales used to have such auctions every month, but now holds them every other month. The price of cattle at auction depends on current milk prices. Young expected 60 to 70 farmers at Wednesday's auction.
"We give away a free turkey to every buyer," said Young. "We have a good herd and that helps."
Farmers from as far away as Maine and Quebec attended Wednesday's auction.
Fewer buyers are showing up than in the past, but those who do show up buy more cattle, said Reg Lussier.
Marvin Williams of Randolph Center brought five cattle to sell at the auction, two of his and three that belonged to other people. He said prices on heifers have dropped about 30 percent over the past several years. Williams is concerned that in the future there will be fewer family farms and more "factory type farms."
"They may push out the family farmers," said Williams. He doesn't think it's good to lose family farms. "I think they make a better community and atmosphere."
Family farms usually treat their head of cattle as family pets, Williams said.
Ford Hubbard of East Burke, who has been attending auctions for over 10 years, is concerned that milk prices, production costs, equipment costs and the unavailability of good hired hands will be part of the the demise of the family farm. He also said the younger generation is not interested in farming.
Years ago, Vermont had 10,000 farms, but today there are less than 1,000. Hubard would like to see Vermont's congressmen give more support for the family farm.
"Twenty years from now this country might be hurting for milk and food," said Hebard. "They better be taking a good look at it."
A local farmer, who asked not to be identified, said she doesn't understand how the family farm will remain in existence. Family farmers like the lifestyle of farming, she said. "We raised three sons and a boy who came to live with us. They all learned to work and they enjoyed it, but had to go off for employment."
The Vermont landscape is changing and a lot of fields are growing into brush, she said.

FALMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine State Troopers are helping in the fight against breast cancer.
They've donated their special edition breast cancer license plates to the Maine Cancer Foundation to auction off.
The plates were used by troopers through the month of October in support of breast cancer awareness, now each trooper (and in some cases, canine) has signed their plate and the Maine Cancer Foundation of Falmouth will auction it off on eBay.
100% of the proceeds that come from this auction will stay in Maine, benefiting MCF, the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition, and The Maine Breast and Cervical Health Program.
The auction starts on Friday at noon with 10 randomly selected plates, the rest will be put online later. You can access a link to the eBay site on Friday through the Maine Cancer Foundation's website.

Cancer Lifeline offers emotional support, resources, educational classes and exercise programs designed to support people in all stages of the cancer process. All of Cancer Lifeline's services are offered at no cost to participants and supported by private donations. For more information on Cancer Lifeline, please visit www.cancerlifeline.org.
Participants of these workshops, which are led by licensed aestheticians, learn about healthy alternatives for feeling beautiful, using the non-toxic Lavera skin care and cosmetics donated for the session. Our chemical-free product lines offer safe alternatives for those struggling with health issues. Because chemotherapy and radiation cause damage to healthy cells, as well as cancer cells, physical changes often show up in the skin. These changes may include partial or total hair loss, thin shiny skin, flaky, irritated, itchy, red, or hypersensitive skin. It is important to use beauty products free from harmful or harsh ingredients that can cause further irritation and health complications. Skin care and cosmetics made with natural, nourishing ingredients will support, heal, and protect the skin and cell structure.
The body absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to the skin, which then enters the bloodstream. Harmful ingredients absorbed through the skin can lead to health conditions and disease. Cosmetics and personal care products made without the use of harmful ingredients are a healthier choice over conventional products for both maintaining good health and preventing health issues and disease.
Lavera uses natural, effective plant-based ingredients, certified organic wherever possible. BDIH Natural Certification ensures all of our products are free from parabens, SLS, synthetic preservatives and fragrances, and petroleum-based ingredients. Our products are cruelty-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free.

George Smith Panheads
The heads are very unique and each have a modified intake manifold to accomodate a linkert carb. They currently have MR-4s mounted on each head. My question is this: The heads are so nice, they almost look as if they were cast that way, complete with cooling fins. The color and patina of the aluminum is dead on match for the heads. I think these may be George Smith heads, but how can I verify?

A variety of vague and hard-to-pinpoint symptoms are experienced by an undetermined, but possibly sizeable number of adults and children. Occasionally, they may suggest allergy or asthma, but most often the symptoms are much wider in scope.
Not much is currently known about what is referred to as "chemical sensitivity," but it is a subject that is often mentioned as a growing problem in the popular media. Since there are considered to be a variety of adverse health effects from so-called "chemical sensitivities," the public and their health care providers are rightly confused about what it is all about.
Why are Chemical Sensitivities Gaining so Much Interest?
There are several reasons, among which are:
A greater number of complex chemical compounds (polymers) in our natural environment than in the past.
Less indoor air exchange in more highly insulated houses and buildings.
Greater media coverage of news and opinions about chemical sensitivities and their possible ill effects on our health.
A few physicians who refer to themselves as "ecologically oriented" have proposed diagnoses such as the "Twentieth Century Disease," "Chemical AIDS," "multiple chemical sensitivities," or "Candida hypersensitivity." Intriguing as these labels may be to some whose symptoms seem to frustrate the attempts of a medical diagnosis and treatment, no single test or combination of tests has yet to clearly identify the causes of these symptoms.
Nevertheless, caring physicians are sensitive to patients with vague complaints. They endeavor to keep them from seeking in desperation care and "cures" that lack a medical-scientific basis or require much more study.
What Are Considered Chemical Sensitivities?
There are four general ways that we can classify chemical sensitivity:
Annoyance Reactions. These result from a heightened sensitivity to unpleasant odors, called olfactory awareness, in some susceptible individuals. Your ability to cope with offensive—but mostly nonirritating—odors has a lot to do with genetic or acquired factors, among which are infection and inflammation of the mucous membranes or polyps (growths of the nasal or sinus membranes), and abuse of tobacco and nasal decongestants.
Irritational Syndromes. These are caused by significant exposure to irritating chemicals that are more likely than others to penetrate the mucous membranes. These types of reactions can affect certain nerve endings and cause burning sensations in the nose, eyes and throat. They usually come and go, and can be reversed.
Immune Hypersensitivity. This is the basis of allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma. They are generally caused by naturally occurring organic chemicals found in pollens, molds, dust and animals. At present, only a relatively few industrial chemicals are known to have the capability of provoking a true immune system response. Among them are acid anhydrides and isocyanates and other chemicals that are able to bond to human proteins.
Intoxication Syndrome. In some cases, long-term exposure to noxious chemicals may cause serious illness, or even death. Permanent damage to health may be the outcome of such reactions, which are dependent on the nature and extent of the chemical exposure. Toxic pollutants are given off by a number of building products, such as furniture, cleaning fluids, pesticides and paints.
How Does Pollution Affect My Health?
Most people who believe they have symptoms from chemical sensitivity are concerned that they are related to their exposure to pollution, either outdoors or indoors. Outdoor pollution may result from natural causes (the eruption of volcanoes, dust storms, forest fires), or man-made causes (vehicle exhaust, fossil fuel combustion, petroleum refining). Other pollutants that may cause respiratory illness include:
Sulfur Dioxide
Substantial scientific evidence has linked specific air pollutants to increased respiratory illness and decreased pulmonary function, especially in children. People prone to allergy, especially those with allergic asthma, can be extremely sensitive to inhaled sulfur dioxide, for example. Symptoms may include bronchospasm, hives, gastrointestinal disorders and inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis-related disorder).
Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide
Temporary or perhaps permanent bronchial hypersensitivity has been connected to inhaled ozone and nitrogen dioxide. Long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide has been associated with the increased occurrence of respiratory illness.
Significant exposure to airborne pollution occurs inside homes, offices and non-industrial buildings. These settings have not received nearly the attention by pollution control agencies that they deserve.
Cigarette Smoke
One of the most disagreeable and potentially dangerous indoor pollutants is cigarette smoke. It is made up of a complex mixture of gases and particles that contain numerous chemicals. Indoor tobacco smoking substantially increases levels of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, acrolein, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen cyanide, and many other substances and inhaled particles found in the air.
Formaldehyde is not only found indoors from cigarette smoke, but also outdoors from gasoline and diesel combustion. Data indicates that formaldehyde is capable of acting as a respiratory irritant. It also is known to cause an allergic skin rash. However, there is no convincing evidence that this pollutant is able to sensitize the respiratory system.
Wood burning Stoves
There are more than 11 million wood burning units in American homes today. Wood burning usually occurs in cold, oxygen-poor conditions that heighten the emission of carbon monoxide and other inhaled chemicals and particles. Increased use of wood as a heating fuel has raised concern because of its ability to contaminate a home. Poorly ventilated stoves give off increased levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen and sulfur oxides, formaldehyde and benzopyrene.
Building-related Illness
Poor air quality in today's tightly insulated homes and other buildings has been associated with a variety of syndromes, or group of symptoms. The term "building-related illness" or "sick-building syndrome" is applied to an office building in which one or more occupants develop a generally accepted, well-defined syndrome for which a specific cause related to the building is found.
There are a variety of illnesses broadly known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis—in which one or more organic dusts can create complex immune system reactions and symptoms, including mucous membrane irritation, coughing, chest tightness, headache and fatigue. These are well defined, and there are validated tests for diagnosing these conditions. Building occupants with these symptoms have been identified as having "multiple chemical sensitivities" or other forms of environmental illness.
One study, however, showed that the majority of nonspecific complaints by office workers had developed before the worker began working in the building suspected of causing their symptoms. Collaboration between the physician, industrial hygienist and building engineer may be necessary to clearly establish a cause-and-effect relationship between any indoor air quality level and disease.
How is Chemical Sensitivity Diagnosed?
There are strategies that can produce reliable diagnoses with relatively low costs, reliable diagnoses at significant costs or questionable diagnoses at great expense. Obviously, the first alternative is preferable. It includes:
Upper respiratory tract and selective skin tests and a neurological examination.
Routine laboratory studies, including nasal smear.
Lung function measurements (spirometry and peak flow monitoring).
If these diagnostic procedures do not produce a definite diagnosis, more expensive—but worthwhile—evaluations may help. They include an industrial hygiene evaluation of the workplace, an evaluation of the home environment and psychiatric evaluations.
Diagnostic approaches are expensive and not effective in explaining suggested chemical sensitivity such as the RAST test, and tests for the Epstein-Barr virus, auto-immune disease, food allergies, and evaluations to determine airborne molds and bacteria.

"Are you going to celebrate Mexican Independence Day this year?" I asked Uncle Spud as we ate chimichangas and listened to Slim Whitman sing Mexicali Rose on a scratchy old 45-rpm record.
"Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day," Spud answered as he wiped guacamole from his whiskers. "The fifth of May celebrates the battle of Puebla in 1862. Mexican militia beat a much larger and better equipped French army on that day."
"No kidding," I answered. "What was the French army doing in Mexico?"
"The Mexicans stopped making payments on a whole bunch of money they owed France, so France sent an army to take over Mexico."
"The Frenchmen were stopped at the battle of Puebla?"
"No, they took over the whole country. France ran Mexico from 1862 until 1867. After they got their money back, the Frenchmen went home."
"Gee, I didn't learn that in school," I had to admit.
"Most Mexicans didn't either," Spud smiled. "Cinco de Mayo is not a big deal in Mexico. Only the state of Puebla celebrates it as a holiday. The rest of Mexico pretty well ignores it."
"Why is it such a big deal in the United States?" I asked.
"In the United States it has become Mexican Independence Day," Spud smiled. "Don't you see? Mexicans in the U.S. are independent of Mexico. Here they can find a job and have a future. That's why they come here by the millions, most of them illegally. Cinco de Mayo is not about the battle of Puebla anymore. It's a celebration of Mexican culture outside of Mexico. It's like St. Patrick's Day for the Irish, Octoberfest for the Germans, or Columbus Day for the Italians."
"That's great," I said. "It's nice that people remember their ancestry."
"In this case it might be too nice," Spud pontificated. "Mexicans have a strong cultural identity and most don't want to assimilate. They are happy to be Mexicans in America instead of becoming Americans. That's why we have to press 1 to speak English."
"Most of them come here to find a better life," I offered. "I have compassion for them. Mexico is a third-world narco state with corrupt officials and politicians. Only a handful of families own everything. Poverty is everywhere. I visited Hermosillo last year. Every window in town is covered with iron bars. Crime is so bad it's like living in a war zone and people are more afraid of the cops than the criminals. Our Mexican guide had to bribe policemen two or three times in the four days we were there."
"It's sad, but a lot of that crime is crossing the border with the illegals," Spud said. "All you have to do is watch the nightly news from Salt Lake to see who is being arrested, and for what. In border states illegal aliens make up 30-percent or more of prison populations, and a great many alien criminals are deported rather than imprisoned, so it's hard to calculate their true impact on the crime rate in our country."
"They say Mexicans take only the jobs Americans don't want," I offered.
"That might have been true in the 1940s," Spud said. "Today, check out any construction crew and see who's working. Construction and manufacturing jobs have always been the best paying blue-collar jobs in the country. I suspect there are a few million Americans who would like to have those jobs, especially with unemployment in the 10 to 12-percent range. Illegals work cheap and we allow people to hire them by the millions, even though it's against the law. Illegal workers are shamefully exploited by our politicians, who allow it, and by our corporations, unions, and whole industries that benefit from cheap labor, non-vesting union dues, and a silent and compliant working class who often labor in substandard conditions. It's a form of political and economic servitude we should never allow to happen."
"The cost of this invasion of illegal workers and criminals is astronomical. Beyond the crime, drug smuggling and potential terrorist risks through our open borders, there are the issues of lost American jobs, welfare, medical care, education and social services for non-citizens who are here illegally. American taxpayers foot the bill and suffer the consequences."
"The federal government has had 40 years to fix the problem but both political parties refuse to do it. Our government is broken. That's why Arizona passed their new and controversial state immigration law. The only way to stop this madness is for citizens to rebel, quietly and non-violently, the way Arizona is doing."
"I think Utah should join with Arizona in passing our own illegal alien law. If 20 or 30 states will join, we might be able to bypass the feds, fix the problem and take back our constitutionally guaranteed state's rights at the same time."
Spud thought for a moment more.
"Or, I suppose we could do like the 1862 Frenchmen and send an army into Mexico to help solve their internal problems so their citizens will stay home. On second thought, I guess we should clean our own house first. Vote the bums out in November. Until then, happy Cinco de Mayo, aye?"

Child basketball prodigy Titus Ashby was on "Fox & Friends" this morning -- but the appearance ended with him in tears!
The Internet sensation, who impressed millions with his trick shots on YouTube, showed off his talents on the FOX News morning show.
But the little Titus' laughter didn't last long, as co-host Brian Kilmeade nailed the kid in the face with a basketball during their live segment.
The little guy instantly broke down and the show went to a commercial break.
Don't worry -- he was O.K.
Check out the video above. And see his original YouTube clip below:

Ellsworth, whose father taught him to golf, is a tournament celebrity and presented Trudeau employee Curtis Waters (left) with the donation. In recent years, the tournament hadn't been scheduled but Ellsworth is happy it's back in action.

With the new seasons underway for both the USU Eastern Men's and Women's Basketball teams, both teams will be looking to improve their play as both will be competing in tournaments this weekend.
For the USU Eastern women, a two-game series with Idaho Elite last weekend showed the team could play with a team comprised of former Division I talent. However in both games, the Lady Eagles unraveled in the second half of each game through turnovers and the inability to stop long scoreless streaks on offense.
USU Eastern Head Coach Dave Paur said the team had the opportunity to win each game after playing close with Idaho Elite in the first half of both games.
"We'll get better from here," said Paur noting that the team can't expect to win many games when they shoot 29 percent from the field.
One problem the Lady Eagles have already faced this season is with many players having to play out of position due to injuries. Paur said. The team is hopeful that 6-foot-2-inch center Isabela Costa will be able to return from an injury to help bolster the team's low-post presence.
One area the team is looking to improve is with playing smarter on offense. Paur said he would like to see fewer turnovers which would mean more shot opportunities on offense and the ability for the team to use their pressing defense after a made shot.
"The turnovers are a concern," Paur said. "We've got to play smarter and make fewer mistakes on offense."
The Lady Eagles will travel to Salt Lake Community College for games today through Saturday.
For the USU Eastern Men, new head coach Adjalma Becheli is hoping the first game of the season was a wake-up call for his team to improve quickly.
The Golden Eagles dropped their first of two games in Yuma, Ariz., to Arizona Western College 93-61. The Golden Eagles shot just 47 percent from the foul line and connected on only 23 percent of their three-point shots.
The Golden Eagles were also outrebounded by Arizona Western by a margin of 44-23.
"We played terrible and we couldn't execute on offense or defense," Becheli said.
He credits the team with coming back the next day and posting a 73-60 win over Tohono O'odham. The Golden Eagles outrebounded their opponents 41-29 and connected on 11-of-26 three-pointers (42.3 percent).
The Golden Eagles will travel down to Thatcher, Ariz., for a tournament held at Eastern Arizona.
Becheli said he is looking for the team to put more energy on the defensive side of the ball which would help lead to more opportunities on offense.
"We're trying to work together and have more players step up and contribute to the team," he said.

The Inbetweeners
Recent grads book a two-week getaway to a notorious international hotspot on the isle of Crete. Surrounded by scantily clad hotties, outrageous escapades and a plethora of bodily fluids, clueless intellectual Will, love-struck puppy Simon, chronic masturbator Jay and dimwitted cougar-bait Neil go on "Pussay Patrol" hoping to find high times and, more importantly, wild sex. Instead, they naively blunder from one mortifying experience to another, managing to sabotage every chance they get to fulfill their dreams. Convinced that the solution to all of their problems lies in a weekend party-boat excursion, but without the funds or connections to get tickets to the once-in-a-lifetime blowout, they seemed doomed to miss the action.

I am exactly one month before the start of the world cup series in speed climbing. I'm finishing phase of the toughest workouts, already thinking about the first starts. The winter time I worked very well, rebuilding muscle mass in the injured leg, so that I could return to normal training.
Growing up to pass time at the hockey rink while Charlie played, I could be found up in the rafters. I would climb the scaffolding, and when my parents went to look for me, they just had to look up. Well, Red Bull and I chose to take this scaffolding idea to a bigger arena: Quite literally. Red Bull owns The New York Red Bulls and the old Giant's Stadium in Harrison, NJ, just outside of NYC. With the help and support of both Red Bull and Petzl, we had an incredibly savvy crew at the arena...
Five Ten, the leader in high-friction, technical bike, climbing and outdoor footwear, announces the addition of Mirko Caballero to the Five Ten Elite Team. Mirko will be joining Five Ten's world class athletes such as Dean Potter, JT Holmes, Sasha DiGiulian and Greg Minnaar in representing The Brand of The Brave.
I'm always amazed at the time I spend preparing for a BASE trip in comparison to the time I'll actually spend in flight for it. It's not uncommon I spend over twenty hours planning a trip that only yields about three-minutes of flight time. Hours are spent on logistical preparation, travel time, location and exit-point scouting and hiking. On paper, the time spent planning for a flight vs. flight time doesn't seem to add up, yet time and time again those few seconds in flight are so potent it makes it's all worth it.
2014 has been turning out to be a spectacular year so far with the newest member added to the family- my little fur face, and great flying conditions! I had been planning to spend my winter season speedriding and skiing non-stop, but with the marginal snow conditions, I have reverted back to my summer sports plan and have been wingsuiting in the Chamonix valley all season!
Going to Peñoles always gets me motivated because it's safe to say that it's one of the places I've been going to the most, and the amount of projects accumulating grows. Each year more and more people show up and it looks like this year won't be the exception. A lot of climbers, many of which are very good friends, have plans for coming. You could say this area was my high school and university, to which I've put a lot of time and effort into.

POTSDAM - While the Potsdam Central School District Board of Educations Finance Committee has yet to meet, the full board adopted the districts 2014-2015 budget calendar on Tuesday helping to outline this years budget crafting process.
Superintendent Patrick H. Brady said the calendar is similar to what the district has used in the past, in the only real change being the dates.
The finance committee is scheduled to hold its first meeting at 6 p.m. Nov. 21. According to the now approved, scheduling calendar the committee is expected to receive a state aid update, as well as review plans for the districts long range fiscal plan and school funding advocacy.
When the committee again meets at 6 p.m. on Dec. 12, its expected to set its goals for the budget season, as well as discuss planning for community forums and receive another state aid update.
The committee will review its projections for 2014-2015 on Jan. 9, as well as look at one time expenditures for the upcoming fiscal year. By this time, the governor should have already issued his budget proposal, so that will also be discussed.
Areas of the budget to be reviewed that evening include general support, debt service, transportation, central services, technology, athletics and co-curricular activities.
The committee will review the instruction and supervision budgets, staffing changes, the strategic budget plan, employee benefits, curriculum development, special education and the school lunch budget on Jan. 21.
The board will then review its strategic budget plan on Feb. 6 at 6 p.m.
On Feb. 27 the board will review the BOCES budget, anticipated revenues, the strategic budget plan, reserves, projected fund balance and the first draft of the budget, which will be reviewed by the full board on March 11 at 6:30 p.m.
The finance committee will then update the draft budget when it meets on March 20. It will also receive a state budget update, as well as discuss a potential contingency budget, and bus purchase proposal.
An analysis and final review of the spending plan will be held at 6 p.m. on April 8, and the full board is scheduled to approve the budget when it meets at 6:30 p.m. April 22.
A public hearing on the final, adopted budget will be held at 6:30 p.m. May 13, with the final budget vote being held from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on May 20.
