"Kinonia" - ("communication") as the ideal peace for Orthodox Church. Helps- Hindrances.
Firstly, I would like to thank all the persons in charge of the organization of this perceptive/ visionary and hope-filled conference for Peace between the people, religions and cultures of the world, including minorities and the majorities .I would consider it obvious, within the limits of this conference, to address those who have honoured it with their presence as «honurable and beloved brothers, fellow travellers» deliberately omitting each honorary title of attribute or office.
Everything that you will hear, are personal thoughts and opinions by taking into consideration the Orthodox Theology and my experience from my ministration in the Orthodox Church. It would be superficial to repeat well-known preamble about the virtues of Peace and the problems that result from its absence for whatever reason. I will use the phrase of the Old Testament, which the apostle Paul uses too, that, our God in whom we believe is «God of peace». For the Orthodox Church this Peace of God, is not a simple sense or an idea about peace but it's a person, the person of Jesus Christ. This Person, Jesus Christ as perfect God and perfect human-being inspires all parts of human life. Consequently, it could be said that peace, therefore, is included in all aspects of our life. We can speak of personal peace, interpersonal peace or communal peace and, by extension, of sanctification's peace, ultimate peace and so on. In this way, it is easy for everybody to understand that the opposite of this peace is not exclusively war but also, human selfishness and egocentricity. War is the result of a deeper reason, of human selfishness and egocentricity whether it stems from a specific person, or from a group of people, from a nation or even from a religion. According to the words of Saint Vasilios the Great, the main sin, meaning humans distancing themselves from the way of God, involves a division/separation in his mental world. The result of this internal division and internal conflict is the expression of illogical aggressiveness towards all those around him and consequently, towards every kind of war. This situation is also accountable for all the schisms, discriminations, discord, divisions, isolation, narcissism, and pride, in particular intellectual pride, lack of tolerance, comprehension, sympathy and love. The word «αμαρτία» "amartia" (sin) in the Greek language derives from the verb «μείρομαι» "mirome", which means: I have broken away, I do not participate, I do not commune/communicate with anyone. Sin is our self-destructive severance and our unsociability. As a result of each person's severance from others and their unsociability, they are unable to make the best of what they are capable of and thus they commit some crime against God, against their fellow man, and even against themselves, even if they do not violate any law. What is the suggestion for life that is proposed by the Orthodox Church?It is well-known that the quest of all theological reflection is the search for absolute truth in what concerns God, humans and the world. (through questioning). It is obvious that the answers we receive to the above I previously mentioned questions are not always to the absolute degree we expect. As a result we have the existence of different opinions even within the boundaries of the same religion or conviction.
In the Orthodox Church, we know the revelation of only one truth in the person of Jesus Christ. The way in which we are connected with Him, also determines the quality of our relationships with our own existence, our fellowmen and God. The quality, of our relationships with God also determines the quality of our interpretation of the Word of God. Therefore, it is clear that many interpretations of the same subject, that is the World of God can coexist simultaneously. In the Orthodox Church, God is known to all as Love and Freedom. God created human beings out of pure love, and this kind of love is given to each of us, as "selfgovernment". Thus, we can understand that when we say Love, we mean Freedom and vice versa. Love and Freedom, however, not as two philosophical meanings but as forms of participation in the person of Jesus Christ, as participation in the way of existence of God which is revealed as Love and Freedom. As long as human beings participate in God's "love and freedom" which were given us gifts from God, they become bearers, apostles and donors of this love and freedom. As long as people deny and they do not participate in these two basic expressions and gifts of God the further they distance themselves from God's existence, which is revealed as love and freedom, and the further they distance themselves from their fellowmen and even from themselves. The presence of war and various types of discrimination, for instance national, racial, community, religious, cultural and their clashes, means that there is a problem of engagement, on the human side, with the pacifying and unifying words of God as reasons and acts of love and freedom. For the Orthodox faith the Ecclesiastical - Community way of life is not simply the way and place of expression of religious life but it is, mainly, the place where by participating in the life of God in the person of Jesus Christ, people join in and become apprentices at God-humanity morality. The life line/(focal point) of Orthodox Church was and also continues to be the mystery of Holy Eucharist and the Church exists only as the embodiment of Christ in this world. Consequently, it lives the problems the world as its own problems and "reports" through the Holy Eucharist, all the needs of daily life in the world before God.
All Orthodox services are full of such type of reports. Consequently it becomes easily comprehendable that Holy Eucharist is an invitation no simply to communicate with God and our brothers but is a virtual experience of "communication" ("Kinonia") between God and people, between fellowmen, but also between all the faithful, the entire world and all the universe. The essential prerequisite for this "communication" is love, as in the example of Christ's love. In this "communication" we develop, of course progressively, from communication with ourselves, we return to "communication- contact" with our neighborus, and brothers and from there we go on to "communication- contact" with all the world and all creation. It is not unusual for many of us to reach and pass the initial stages very quickly and to open ourselves up to the very sensitive feeling of the world's pain (world-wide human suffering) very quickly while others are enclosed in the initial stages for many years or even for an entire lifetime. Thus this "communication" becomes a model for life and unity, which will supposedly be able to surpass its boundaries and unfold continuously into the private world of each of our neighborus.This is extremely basic for the Orthodox Church because it does not mean, in anyway, an "individual" relationship with God, except if this relationship passes our neighborus way. It is unnecessary to stress that many times exists enormous gap between life and theory, among people from the same homeland, faith and generation, precisely because they are found in a different stage in their relation with themselves, their fellowman and God.
During Holy Eucharist all faithful members, are integrated into Christ's Body through the Holy Spirit. In this integration into Christ's Body, the members are not distinguished from the Body. This is what we call the "sanctification" of the faithful, that is participation via the Holy Spirit in the consumption of Christ's body and of His passion for the salvation of the world despite all of the particular weaknesses of each separate member. Thus, the Holy Eucharist records the existence of all faithful people, not simply revealing the history of salvation of the world but, by implanting and cultivating through the example of Divine -Humanity, the desire for love and sacrifice for the whole world. But, despite the Ecclesiastical concern and effort for people to become apprentices through the Holy Spirit in genuine "communication" and then to transport this experience to the places where they live and struggle daily, often we have the sense that very little has been achieved. This impression is created because during this Church's struggle to transmit and transfuse the Divine- Humanity's morals into this world, it also has to fight against an enemy and parallel social morality that is learnt without being taught is instilled in the foundations of each society and time, a morality which is based on the unwritten principles of "easy", "lucrative" and "pleasant". In Ecclesiastical language this morality is known as "secular morality" which has the ability to penetrate not only into the area of the Christian faith but also, to each faith, so that we speak, henceforth, of a "secular" or "no secular" faith, church and community. This "secular morality" is in fact the permanent opponent of the Church's effort to bring each person to a state of real communication with his/ her own existence, with the around and with God. This "secular morality" is also the permanent danger and threat to the Church because it essentially detracts the Church from the sense of life and it imposes the deadening of conscience on the Church that it is the living Body of Christ and this brings tragic results in the form of divisions of faithful members, disputes, schisms and the rejection of interdependance and inter-completion and finally, total dislocation. Participation in the "communication", in our own and the entire world's quest is, essentially, an effort of exertion on our part from the excludes of our own being to the limits of our fellow human's world, a world which hurts, destroys and dies precisely because it does not want to locate the cause of its pain. And the cause of this pain is human rejection of God, the attempt of people to become God and to live a life without God. The ascertainment that all these things are lacking can be supposed to be if we had followed the sacrificial example of Christ's love, which simply means that we do not participate in the love and freedom God gave to us . It means that we have not deeply comprehended what St. Vasilios the Great said «ο την αγάπην έχων τον Θεόν έχει» (Vasilios he Great "Askitika", 2, 2, P. G. 31, 885 B) That is to say the one who has love, also have God with him. This is also confirmed by St. Maximos the Professor who said: «ο κτησάμενος την αγάπην αυτόν τον Θεόν εκτήσατο» , (Maximos the Professor, Chapter of Love 4,.100, P. G. 90, 1073), , that is to say, the one who has conquered the love, has also conquered God. It means that we should change a lot of things in our lives and we must change them radically. This is the role of the Orthodox Church, it "completes" a human being and renders them shareholders of God's active blessing. With the completion of people, Divine Human history is also on its permanent course to its ultimate point.
The term "Love" and its existential dimensions.
It would consider it an error for me to speak, in front of you all, about what love is or means. We all know the straight, shortcut, wise, beautiful and even through uncomfortable, the secure path of love. And it is comprehensible to all of us that the root, the cause of each division is, essentially, what we find in each analysis: the "lack" of love. I will place emphasis only in this thoughts: whether it is true and it appears to be true that, justice and peace are the "sociopolitical" dimensions of love. From this optical side of love, we can say a lot of things without the risk of being characterized as gullible and out of context. On this basis, many humanitarian organisations are founded and become active, while simultaneously, we see similar initiatives on the part of religious organisations. Of course, the role of Religions is not political and it cannot even mean to be something such as that because, very generally speaking, the role of Religions is exactly the "surpassing" of this world and hence also the "surpassing" of each form of policy that can be created by this world on its historical course.
Speaking therefore, of the "political dimension" of love that we call "justice", it would be good to clarify it by saying that we mean a justice which will not remain simply a legislative monument that will cite its legislator, but a system of justice that really takes into account the individuality of each personality and at the same time, can have by nature the chance of always surpassing himself. Of course something like this sounds a little utopian or somehow "romantic" but, I believe that even this effort which is happening in this congression, could be characterized utopian or "romantic" if we did not believe ourselves that this is not the case and that, from this effort it could result in many enjoying help, even a little, to relieve the pain that exists around us and in a final analysis that is also the mission of the Church. The desire, from the side of the Orthodox world, for peace and absolute reprobation of war is not identified as a barren pacifism, which in the name of peace tolerates all other oppression and trespass of the rights of other nations. The way, in which a lot of Christian societies have turned in order to face the threat to Peace, is the prevention of future wars. And this comes about through peace organizations and political and diplomatic handlings. It also comes about through the absurdity and competition with nuclear equipment. What an absurd thing to think: "I am equipped with nuclear weapons or biological arms but I do not use them; I have them for purposes intimidation!!!" I think that the lightness of such statements is obvious, at a time when our recent history has shown us that such arms have already been used and are still being used on a widespread scale. And it is here, I believe, that a legitimate question arises: Is there such a thing a "fair war"? In order for such a war to exist - (a fair one) - if it there could be such a suggestion, it should complete certain terms as:
1. It should be carried out exclusively, by the legal government of a nation.
2. It should be the last possibility in order to protect the population or state from heavy and unfair damage and it, also, is supposed that all other possibilities of setting the differences and the avoidance of conflict would have been exhausted.
3. The bad and damage done should be less than that, which we are trying to deter with war.
4. The military operations will be supposed to limit themselves only to the field of battle. Women children and the elderly, as well as, wounded and captured people, should remain unscathed by military attacks.
5. The duration of war should be short and its result victorious, otherwise a law of unfairness comes into effect, in that suffering of a nation is less than the trails of war.
Taking all these terms of a "fair war" into account, today, at maximum, only the first term can exist. It has been confirmed that modern weaponry systems cannot ensure nor limit themselves to such terms. There is, however, recorded in the World's History another type of War, that I, strongly, believe deserves to mentioned as long as we speaking about Peace. Wars and battles have been recorded in Chinese history with an absence of victims. The opponents paraded their troops on the field of battle and then a team of generals passed equal inspection on the two parties and depending on how they had been placed, the generals decided who would be the victor if there had been a war. The decision of the generals was accepted and the opponents retreated and settled their differences as if they had lost or won the war without a single drop of blood being spilt. Of course, such type of confrontation needs a very high level of moral culture and bravery, which in our days does not exist or is obviously judged as utopian.
The position of Evangelic reason against the fact of war.
Concerning the question of War and Peace, the pervading Christian line originates from the Evangelic words. Alone the New Testament, offers neither acceptance nor condemnation of war, nor a justification of war as means of political imposition. Jesus sees war and all types of power as realities of this world. "Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?" (Luke 14,3) "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be handed over to the Jews;" (John 18,36) In these two, Jesus mentions power and war as two realities without characterising them. In other places, however, he characterizes war as Divine judgment. To the disciple who admired the brilliant buildings an answer is given: "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here stone upon another that will not be thrown down." (Mark 13,2)
In another point he foretold the destruction of Jerusalem stressing the cause: "because you did not know the time of your visitation." (Louk19,44). (Because you did not feel the time that the God visited you in order to save you). In his "eschatological speeches" Jesus characterized war as a trouble of utmost times "Alas for those who are with child and for those who gives suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon these people;" (Luke 21, 23), "and upon the earth distress of nations of perplexity" (Luke 21, 25). At this time, it would be good to clarify a point: Christ, generally did not announce social changes or reforms for which the society of his time was neither morally, organizationally nor intellectually ready.What He did was to give a new "spirit", a new state of mind from which such changes could emerge. For this reason, we cannot support what concerns war in the past or in the present with direct answers. We can, however, form arguments against war when we depend exactly on Christ's spirit , that is to say, the message of the Gospel in its entirity. This message teaches us of love, justice, reconciliation, apology and peace. The Old Testament calls God, "The God of peace". This peace is a gift from God and at the same time, a quest and task for people. This peace is always understood in combination with the capacity of justice for poor and oppressed people. The word "schalom" also means peace and salvation. The coming Messiah is named "sovereign of peace". And Peace will be his work. Jesus' words on Peace "Peace I live with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives to you I give to you" (John 14, 27) are found to be in harmony with those of the Old Testament. Also, He blesses the "peacemakers" (Matt.5, 9). He, also, extends love to the enemies (Matt. 5, 44). (Luke 6, 27). Christians are "called" to Peace (Col. 3, 15). The peace of Christ "which passes all understanding" should live in their hearts (Philip. 4, 7). Christ Himself is the personification of peace and reconciliation, "For he (Christ) is our peace" (Ephes.2,14- 17). For this reason exactly, in the Orthodox Church, we stress that Peace is a Person and this Person is Jesus Christ. These reasons can be characterized as "political reasons" because they totally exclude any form of war that occurs in order to increase force or to influence a population or government.
The "paradox" of the position of Orthodoxy against war.
It is a fact that the large nations that have a high level of technological and industrial growth seek, direct and offer, a "watery" form of peace to lesser nations. This is a form of peace that has a closer relation to the policy of investment of large nations rather than a real love of peace, solidarity and the reconciliation between nations. A glance at the so call "Third world" countries will very easily show us that investment policy of large nations often incurs greater trials and grater destruction on a state than a war does!! As it can be easily and often seen to avoid saying always seen, most states use religious people of all religion as lever for imposition of their policy. Furthermore, it should not be ignored, that if we want to eliminate war in the future, ways to overcome hunger and poverty in so called "Third World" countries should be found. As a problem, of course, it has been registered but it remains at a theoretical level as it does not limit the over consumption of rich countries and help to the poor countries is, still, insufficient or non-existent. And here I believe the religious function of each religion can play a fundamental role. What do I mean? Usually, all of us, the religious liturgists become entrapped in the historical conditions of our religions and in our effort to transmit the salvation message of God, we limit it either to a barren literature about the religious duties, or to a moralistic teaching and we lose the contact with today and utmost. And in this way, we always lose the thread. This is, also, the main reason that leads people to an externally typical religiosity and essentially, to a deep indifference, that is to say, where the "spirit of world" leads them.Subsequently, without having sought this, we drive people away from the very place we should be leading them.
One of the ascetic Fathers of the Orthodox Church and leader of modern monks and anchorites, Abbot Isaac from Syria, very succinctly determines what the place of monks and all ecclesiastical liturgists of each age should be: «Απουσία εκ του παρόντος αμαρτία εστίν».. A literal translation would explain it as meaning: "When you are absent from the everyday routine of this world you commit a sin". This saying of Abbot Isaac also determines the place of shepherds and modern monks. But presence in today's world is not simply handling modern technological medium or speaking in a way that is acceptable to the times, it is to conceive the real need of those around you and to try to respond to these by escaping the easy path of theory and by avoiding the sly game of differences. This is easy to do if we place each of our actions in the personality of Christ. How would Christ react today confronted by this problem? What would He say? How would He face it? We could say that this is also the basic condition for whether monasticism can help the world today to be led to a different relationship with the world around it and with God. If monasticism does not fulfill this condition, it would help more with its silent example and perhaps, in a world that is submerged by endless noise and an intolerable gabble, what can really, possibly, help is a "silent speech". A "silent speech" which has no relationship to the illogical practice of silence that is a usual method for most people when facing an impasse due to their errors. The silence of monks comes from the view of the ultimate, from the view of the Kingdom of Haven and the very presence and function of monasticism has precisely, this aim, to show that the Kingdom of Heaven "is inside us" and we can spread it and transmit it to the world around us when and if we wish to do so. A noteworthy example is the story that has been preserved in the narrations of the Egyptian Ascetic Fathers about Abbot Macarios the Egyptian. It is said that once he went up from the Skiti to the mount of Nitria and as he approached the place, he told his student. "Proceed a little". As the student proceeded he met a priest of idolaters and shouted: Hey! You demon where are you running to? The priest turned and struck him so hard that he left him for dead. The priest took his cane and run away.
As he advanced a little, Abbot Macarios met the priest running away and said to him: "I wish to save you, I wish to save you, my industrious one". Admiringly, the priest of idolaters came to the Abbot and asked him: What good did you see in me to greet me with this wish? The Abbot said to him. Because I saw you to labour so hard and I know that you do not labour in vain. He answered. I was moved by your greeting and understood that you belong to God's people. A bad monk met me before and he spoke using full language and I beat him to death. From the words the Abbot realised that he was talking about his student. The idolater priest held onto Abbot Macarios legs and said to him: "I will not let go off you, if you do not make me a monk". And they went to where the wounded monk was and they raised him and carried him to the church on Mount Nitria. All the other monks were in awe when they saw Abbot Macarios with the idolater priest. There they made him a monk and a lot of idol worshippers became Christians due to his grace. After all this, Abbot Macarios said: "A bad word to a good person may make him a villian, and a good word even to a villian may make him good!!". In this narration we see two different meetings, two different approaches on how we can face the problem between our differences in the faith. Therefore, wherever Monasticism has adopted the attitude of Abbot Macarios, it is explicit that it can immediately help, in a particular way, to bridge the differences that exists where there is Monasticism and where it is developed. It would be an omission if we did not even make a succinct reference to what each war leaves behind, not only in terms of material damage but also in illnesses, moral and psychological problems which correspond to the titanic and time-consuming fight that victors give, as well as, the beaten side, in order to save the humanity inside themselves
Our deep wish to change the world around us most of the times leads us to the dream, to the imagination, to the hope. Therefore today, and all these days, we are all together because: "Peace has a price…."
All of us came here from different countries, from different religions, from different cultures, but I believe that something exists in all of us, something common which connect us. And this, in my opinion, is that all of us have the same dream. A dream, that works as, a permanent call from the future. A dream of an exceptional paradise on earth… as in mentioned exactly in the Gospel of Christ when it speaks to us about the Good Samaritan, of an earth where peace exists, with fellow understanding and solidarity between all nations, sects and religions… a world without material or other differences, a world without poor or rich countries, a world
without wars, arms, armies and unfairness. Maybe most of you were disappointed in this dream very early on, and in this world, which does not have any interest in such dreams except if these dreams concern the governing of the world or the destruction of the planet, or the dream/desire for greed and money… I believe that, as much as we have been disappointed by the situation of the world today, inside all of us, there is still a small ray of hope, and I see this hope serving this Conference. When I accepted your invitation to on Peace from the optical side of Orthodoxy, I began to write certain theoretical things on the subject. Then, I remembered the time when I was living in Alexandria in Egypt, and my visits in the Orthodox community in Uganda and in other places where, with all my senses I felt the problems and the situations between minorities and majorities, between my faith and the faith of my new friends and neighburs. Between my relative wealth and their own not simple but seedy poverty… Between the errors and distances of differences between all of us religious men. Then I understood precisely what my own share was in the total responsibility that burdens all of us, due to these differences that we have allowed to come between us… and because I belong to a group of religious men, I consider my responsibilities to be at least doubled. All these differences when I was in the safety and self-sufficient limits of my homeland, I used to see from a distance and through a different light, and what is more, I perceived all of these as sects and differences of religions. Moreover, I considered all these as something demonic and I thought that I could do nothing in order to change them. But when I was living and experiencing everyday routine and people's pain, I comprehended that the subject is not if you can or cannot do something in order to change things but the subject is "to be/ I am", "we are" and that "to be" and "we are", works only when "I am", and "we are" are in front of one"you".
In the Orthodox Church "penitence" has no relation to, nor aims at the psychological alleviation of believers. Penitence means "I am changing my mind" and this means action, and to be exact, continuous and lifelong action. This action is clarified to us very skillfully in two narrations from the New Testament, the narration of the resurrectional appearance of Christ with "a different face", and the parable of the "good Samaritan". In the first narration we can touch the climate of real communication. Jesus Christ was hidden behind an ostensibly unknown person, an extraordinary person proves that the narrow intellectual horizon is for "foolish men, and slow of heart to believe"(Luke24, 25), those that do not comprehend the relation of God-people and they does not take the risk that God is not only in the Jerusalem but He may wait for us somewhere in the street for Emma' us where "He appeared to be going further" (Luke.24, 28), that is to say his mission, his destination is still more far from our own microcosm of Emma' us. In thenarration of Good Samaritan, we can clearly see that without the differences between people ceasing to exist that it is feasible for each of us to escape from our selfishness through real and indiscreet love of each difference, of each human and each personality. The efforts that are being made by all sides, for the existence of a dialogue between the religions are admirable because through this dialogue all of us can comprehend more and more about the mystery that is called "Human being". In the Christian world we know that we are creations of a Dialogue between the persons of Saint Trinity. We are the essential difference that exists between the first days of Creation which are characterized by the command "Let there be…" (Gen.1, 3) and the dialogue "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" (Gen.1, 26). These words exactly and the incarnation of the Second person of the Holy Trinity extend this dialogue to the outer limits of Divine Human history, consequently, for all of us, it is a holy duty to talk together about God and about the Human beings and in this way, penetrate life's mystery, the ultimate mystery of life and creation. Without making any criticism about what stage dialogues have reached between us, I would like to pose a personal opinion. I believe that despite the time limitations we have as a generation, apart from us being an important example and an equally important but difficult beginning, we will accomplish little. Because all of us carry the mistakes of our distant but also, recent past, and because it is unnecessary to point out how the colonialist policy of Western European forces exploited the vision and desire of peaceful unity between all nations through imposition or predominance of Western Christianity and simultaneously, Western culture. Or in the old days, the effort of Islam for an ecumenical unity and uniformity via military and political power from the 7th until 13th century A.D. with the Arabic dynasties and, later, up to the beginning of 20th century with the of Mongolian and Ottoman empires. Today, however, If we wish for real progress to exist in the dialogues, we should take care that in the future, another different generation will exist to be able to discuss with different experiences of their own. Perhaps, one day, this generation might touch upon the dream and the subconscious desire we all have for unity and overcome the differences that create the gaps and intensities. This could be realized if, all concerned, all religions made a concerted effort to organize a program parallel to the program of studies of young people which would be the intended to follow the way of religion. A program that will give them the possibility of enough time to make it possible to live in the bossom of other religions, to live with their peers of other religions and to see, learn at first hand what his faith, his life, his cultural heritage, his history, his everyday routine, his dreams, his friendships mean to him. But in order for this to happen, each religious group should create the satisfactory conditions to receive/ accommodate and entertain, not under false pretences, groups of young people from other religious persuasions and make it possible to send groups of young people on similar missions.
I believe that these young people, who will make this circle of acquaintances from other religions, will, in a few years, when they sit to discuss in interreligious dialogues, will sit with a different disposition to the other, with a different mentality, and with sincere respect the one for what the other believes in. I do not know if these people will finally reacher further than where we wish to reach but there must be gains wherever they live and work as religious men, as people dedicated to a faith. Only with such a long-term program might they unravel the problems of religious minorities. Theoretically, a similar program could also be implemented for young people who are interested in or intend to follow political or diplomatic paths. It is, however, preferable for people of religions to precede and be the first who will give a testimony to the world, which they serve. I know that many of you will reject this idea or you will deem it unfeasible or even dangerous. For me, however, the more it is rejected as an idea, the greater my conviction will be that this idea is right. I do not know how we could put such a plan into action, but we can, at least, pray that somebody at sometime will realise this idea, if such an idea has some meaning.

text: Grammar is taught consistently in grades 1-12 in such a way that its complexity increases as the students mature. This sequential curriculum builds from the recognition of parts of speech, to analysis of the uses of nouns and pronouns, parsing of verbs, identification and labeling of phrases and clauses, and extensive diagramming of sentences.

Abid Naseer, 24, and Ahmed Faraz Khan, 26, both Pakistani nationals who were arrested last year in counter-terrorism raids but never charged, were told they had won their appeal against deportation at a hearing of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac).
Commenting on the Siac ruling, Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Protecting the public is the Government's top priority. We are disappointed that the court has ruled that Abid Naseer and Ahmad Faraz Khan should not be deported to Pakistan, which we were seeking on national security grounds.
"As the court agreed, they are a security risk to the UK. We are now taking all possible measures to ensure they do not engage in terrorist activity."
At the time of the raids, police and the security services said the men were part of a major plot but there was not enough evidence to charge them so they were ordered to be deported.
Mr Justice Mitting, in a written ruling of the tribunal, said: "For the reasons stated, we are satisfied that Naseer was an al Qaida operative who posed and still poses a serious threat to the national security of the UK and that... it is conducive to the public good that he should be deported."
But he added that the tribunal was allowing the appeal because "the issue of safety on return" made it impossible to deport Naseer to Pakistan.
Mr Justice Mitting added that Faraz Khan could "safely be taken to have been willing to participate" in Naseer's plans but that his appeal too was being allowed on the grounds of his safety on return.
One other man, Shoaib Khan, 31, arrested in the raids, who was appealing against deportation proceedings from Pakistan, won his appeal. The judge said the tribunal was satisfied he was not a "knowing party" to Naseer's plans.
Two other men already back in Pakistan, Abdul Wahab Khan, 27, and Tariq Ur Rehman, 38, had their appeals against exclusion rejected.

I am watching developments in Iraq with great interest. Here are my current observations:
* the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) has emerged as a bigger threat than the CIA created / funded Al Qaeda.
*Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is now the new bogeyman, following in the footsteps of CIA asset Osama Bin Laden
*Isis is clearly being funded, armed and equipped by the Saudi's (In other words by the CIA).
What exactly is the wider agenda playing out here? Is Isis merely another instrument of Washington and, more importantly, the globalist interests within the US Department of Defense and the State Department? Are the seeds of a much wider conflict being sown? Is it just a coincidence that Isis is a major Egyptian / "Illuminati" deity?
Isis belongs in the dark ages and, if allowed to succeed, will drag the middle east back into the dark ages. I ask you: what is more of a threat to western corporate interests and the monopoly men? A thriving and economically united Arabic world? Or one torn apart by fanaticism, war, and economic turmoil? The question, of course, answers itself.
I like to stand well back from these type of crises, ignore the hysteria and propaganda emanating from the controlled media ,take a very deep breath, and try – sometimes in vain – to locate these events within a much, much wider context. Regular visitors to this blog will know my views on Abrahamic western religion. It is the ideological construct of a force that transcends the boundaries of our accepted reality, for the purpose of subverting human spirituality, and suppressing the maturation of our species.

Working with Device Windows (Direct3D 9)
This section lists an issue that you might encounter when working with device windows in Direct3D applications.
- Direct3D only hooks up the focus windows instead of the device window with the Direct3D message processing function, and only processes the focus window messages. So, the focus window should be the parent of any device window.

For a fit and healthy body, you need to have a fitness program. We find many excuses to avoid exercising. Don't we? For most of us, busy daily schedules, budget constraint s and lack of determination are the common excuses. That's where a fitness program comes into the picture. A personalized fitness program can help you lose weight and that extra flab around your body. You can easily achieve a perfect body you've dreamt of, if you follow a fitness program.
Here are some quick steps to get started with a fitness program:
Physical activities can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, and help you lose weight. Keeping a track of your exercises can work well.
But an effective fitness program can differ from one person to another. By knowing what type of exercises would work the best for you, you should seek professional assistance. You should also monitor the number of calories you burn. Calorie counting can be a drag with Notebooks, pens, pencils and calculators. But an online calorie counter can make this easier and help you plan your fitness program.
Routine fitness programs can be boring. But in order to stick to them, you need to pep it up. You can skip exercising for a day and plan a day out with your friends to a park to play some games. You will get enough exercise by playing. You can also include some sports to your fitness program regime. Your fitness program can also include physical activities like swimming, walking and jogging.
If you have any injury or a medical concern, you must consult to a doctor or physical therapist. They will help you design the right fitness program for you. Such a customized fitness program would help you improve the strength and stamina of your body.
You can also find tailored fitness programs and plans online. These are plans help you to achieve your weight loss goals. You can also track the results online.
It is important to know how much exercise your body would be comfortable with. Working out for too long or too intensely can harm your body by injuring the muscles and joints.
So, find out the best fitness program for yourself!

Goals: get rid of 16 to 32 to 64 bits booting, provide user-friendly API, unify boot procedure
UEFI in 2005 by major actors: Intel, AMD, Dell, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Phoenix...
Basic concepts
Three types of application:
Simple app (type=10)
Boot Services (type=11)
Runtime Services (type=12)
Services implement protocols (drivers) and handles (devices)
Apps stored on EFI fat32 partition of type 0xEF
Boot manager using NvRAM:
Boot order defaults to:
Try to boot on floppy
Try to boot on hard drive
Try to boot on NIC0
Run a shell application
Editable via `efibootmgr` and efivars or efivarfs modules
How do I do?
Encapsulated in Portable Executable file (PE)
Easy development possible thanks to gnu-efi
Sample application:
EFI_STATUS efi_main(EFI_HANDLE image_handle, EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab)
SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_INTERFACE *conout;
InitializeLib(image_handle, systab);
conout = systab->ConOut;
uefi_call_wrapper(conout->OutputString, 2, conout, (CHAR16 *)L"Hello World!\n\r");
The UEFI boot stub
Booting for men, by men
echo "CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y" >> .config
make -j8
mv arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/efi/EFI/bzImage.efi
cp /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/efi/EFI/initramfs.img
bzImage.efi root=/dev/sda2 initrd=EFI\initramfs.img
Since linux 3.3
gnu-efi is for noobs
hand-made PE headers

2014 will be the 100th anniversary of the 'Bradbury Pound': debt- and interest-free 'treasury money' as the UK equivalent to Abraham Lincoln's 'greenback' – the sane, honest and healthy alternative to 'bank money': dishonest credit produced by banks from thin air.
James Gibb Stuart, author of the Money Bomb – banned from the shops in 1983 – as the ground breaking book wrote this article about the Bradburys.
The writers of the Bank of England Act 1694 knew about the power of creating money and trading with it aka usury or making money out of money – the deadly sin of riba in Islam. In 1913 the Federal Reserve followed suit. Syria and Iran are the only countries left without a Central Bank a la Anselm Rothschild:
"Give me the power to issue a nation's money; then I do not care who makes the law."
After having organised the Forum for Stable Currencies in Westminster since 1998 and learned about money as the CAUSE, I concentrated on the EFFECTS: victims of white collar crimes.
Lord Sudeley, our co-founder, suggested to group cases to change the law.
Today I conclude:
- successive governments have eroded the Sovereignty and Seignorage – the Legal Privilege and Financial Mechanism of Nation States – especially since the Federal Reserve was founded in 1913
- dishonest money funds the 'public gravy train' that finances criminal behaviour by courts, bent judges, barristers, solicitors from hell, police, prison and, especially, Social Workers from Hell
- comparable to central banks acting as 'lender of last resort', ethical governments should use 'treasury money' and act as compensator of last resort to compensate the hundreds of thousands of victims of white collar criminals – starting with all illegal wars despite international treaties and ending with child snatching as the most heinous of all white collar crimes.
It is soo sad, but weeping doesn't help. It is soo tragic but no choir of a Greek tragedy would give justice to the collective suffering imposed by public officials. I just want to sing, I want to scream, I want to shout: parents and grandparents unite!
- Children Placed in Foster Care is our petition before the House of Commons that is your opportunity for writing and talking to your MP
- Abolish Adoption without Parental Consent is still collecting signatures while waiting for the petitions committee in Brussels to act
- Sir James Munby has published a judgement about 'Baby J' that has made the news and includes the call to courts to adapt to the realities of the internet and especially social media! [paragraph 1]
And I want to write: governments wake up! 2015 will have to become the election of an ethical Parliament! MPs will have to support parents and grandparents whose children were stolen under false pretences and the secrecy of family courts!
I want to fell like a million Bradburies next year! You, too?

We ate the typical almuerzo on several occasions when we traveled to Panama. This is our assessment of the differences in the lunches and which one we think is better, or at least has a better value.
We're an Expat Family of Five, Living Frugal, Healthy and Happy Abroad. We live in Cuenca, Ecuador and travel the Ecuador coast whenever we get a chance. We just adventured throughout the country of Panama for five weeks! Come along and enjoy some of our experiences with us!
Welcome travelers! Our family of five moved to Cuenca Ecuador in 2011. This blog gives you the nuts and bolts about life abroad without all the hype. We love Cuenca; it's just that the altitude does not love us, so in July 2016 we moved to Salinas. Our oldest son married a wonderful Ecuadorian woman in Cuenca Ecuador in 2017 and we are thrilled and blessed! We are pushing our 6 year mark in Ecuador and are happy to say we still enjoy many aspects of Ecuador life.

Safe Place
We create a mental space.
There, we can play.
Safe Place is an atmospheric music piece set into a cinematic experience. It consists of a short film, a music video and visuals.
The work is composed of imaginary moving landscape paintings. The scenes aim to push the spectator into his or her own inner hidden places. Set out as an exploration into the lurking darkness of our times, the work conveys inner conflict states.
The protagonists of the film are thrown into a performance piece:
A man in the mountains singing along to his favourite songs, a woman dancing in the field, leading us to the main scene where a young man is destroying something only he sees.
The characters shift between romantic escapism towards the elimination of their accumulated aggression.

Now healed and set to return to the ring in January in Las Vegas, Mr. Silva also harbors acting ambitions. Budweiser, a UFC sponsor since the brand launched in Brazil in 2011, is celebrating his return with a mini-action film portraying Mr. Silva as a super hero fighting his way back. The spot opens in the arena where his last fight took place; we see him fall to the ground in agony. Then the Octagon ring where fights take place is transformed into a deep pit, with Mr. Silva at the bottom. From then on, his main adversary is himself, fighting to regain his confidence as he clambers up the pit's rocky sides like a spider and re-lives earlier moments from his career. Budweiser's agency, Sao Paulo-based Africa, brought in Brazilian cartoonist Rafael Grampa to co-direct the spot with Pedro Becker. The "#BeSpider" spot ends with the words "Great Times Are Coming Back." Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.
