Dr. Paul Johns recently completed his PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame and is currently employed as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons through gold nanostructures and how defects and discontinuities can disrupt or enhance this propagation. The research uses a pump-probe technique with a galvo-scanning mirror developed during his time in the Hartland Lab to interrogate the samples. To further understand the propagation, he models the structures using the finite element method program COMSOL Multiphysics®. Paul has taught in a variety of capacities: as an undergraduate and graduate TA, as Visiting Laboratory Instructor at Saint Francis University where he taught Physical Chemistry I Lab, General Chemistry II Lab, and Organic Chemistry I and II Lab, and as the primary instructor at the University of Notre Dame for a Physical Chemistry II course.

Specialist Lease Extension Surveyors – a necessity or a luxury?
Anyone wanting to extend the leasehold on their flat under the provisions of Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended) will require the services of a professional valuation surveyor experienced in the field of lease extensions. The primary reason for needing such a surveyor is that, even before the applicant's initial notice of claim is served on the landlord to initiate the application process, it needs to contain a realistic level of premium payable to the landlord for the lease extension under the terms of the Act. If the premium offered in the notice is completely unrealistic, the notice will be invalidated.
Making sure that the premium is realistic is crucial and requires the surveyor to have specialist knowledge and experience in depth in the field of leasehold extension.
Calculating the premium for the lease extension – a job for a professional
The landlord/freeholder's interest in the property will be worth less after the new lease is granted that it was before – due to the loss of ground rent income and the loss of the right to get the flat back when the original lease expires [which is called the reversionary interest]. This loss of value suffered by the freeholder is called, in the words of the Act, 'the diminution in value'.
The surveyor will consider this diminution of value, together with the landlord's share of the marriage value, plus any compensation payable, when calculating the premium. This is complicated work and there is no alternative to doing this as they are the factors laid down by the Act for calculating that premium.
If the existing lease has eighty or more years to run the marriage value (the marrying of the freehold and leasehold interests) will be zero, but below eighty years to run and the landlord will be entitled, under the legislation, to 50% of whatever the marriage value is calculated to be.
A further allowance may also be made for what is called "hope value". This means if there is some sort of potential further value attached to the freehold (say if there is a large garden and the possibility of building a second property, or extending the current property), the freehold could attract a greater value – and therefore the premium payable to the freeholder might increase.
A depth of experience of comparable lease extensions, the state of the local open property market and a familiarity with valuation tribunal decisions, all feed into the basic maths when the surveyor calculates the value of the premium and negotiates it with the landlord/freeholder.
Making sure you don't pay too much for your lease extension – another job for a professional
Once the landlord has responded to the applicant's notice of claim with a counter notice, the surveyor will need to respond to that counter notice where it touches on the value of the premium. This might need detailed discussion and an arguing of factors involved in order to reach a premium level agreeable to both parties.
It is during such negotiations that the experience and specialist knowledge of the applicant's surveyor can ensure that their client does not pay over the odds for the lease extension. The applicant's solicitor fulfills a similar role with regard to any proposed changes to the terms of the lease and ensuring the entire process is followed to the letter of the law.
Expert witness at the First-tier Property Tribunal – a job for a professional
Should negotiations between the leaseholder and freeholder become dead-locked, the applicant's solicitor will have the case put before the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal [though we should really call it by its new posh name – " the First-tier tribunal – Property Chamber (Residential Property)]. There the surveyor will prepare and present the necessary proof of evidence taking on the role of an expert witness and if counsel has been appointed, the surveyor will brief them as appropriate.

Jean Luc(VWM008) was born into the Whiskers on November 28, 1998. His mother was Piglet and his father was a roving male. His littermates were his one brother named Lancelot(VWM006) and two sisters named Artemis(VWF007) and Aphrodite(VWF008). They survived even though they were not the dominant female Holly's pups. The pups grew into adults and started helping in family life. Jean Luc's brother Lancelot even saved Holly's most famous litter from the Lazuli, a rival gang. In September 1999, Piglet, along with Jean Luc's aunt Brambles, and cousins Mufassa and Rafiki all disappeared. On January 15, 2000, Jean Luc was Last Seen. He probably left the group to rove, or maybe joined a wild mob.

(San Francisco, CA) - Playing at Benedetti Diamond for the first time since March 22 didn't help USF as they fell to Portland 3-2 in West Coast Conference action on Friday afternoon. The Dons (21-15, 4-3 WCC) out-hit the Pilots (12-21, 2-5 WCC) 10-7, but failed to capitalize with runners in scoring position, leaving 12 runners on base.
Portland opened up the scoring in the fourth inning, plating two. With two outs, the Pilots' three-four-and-five hitters stroked three consecutive doubles off Dons junior left-handed starter Scott Cousins (3-1). Portland added an insurance run in the sixth after two Don errors and a fielder's choice.
USF scored one each in the sixth and seventh innings. In the sixth with one out, junior catcher Jonathan Norfolk beat out an infield single to second base and advanced to second after sophomore first baseman Mitchell Bialosky was hit by a pitch. Norfolk scored on a double to left field by junior center-fielder Lucas DeLong.
In the seventh, sophomore infielder Joey Railey singled to left and advanced to second after Pilot second baseman Sean Nicol bobbled a grounder from the bat of Don senior shortstop Andrew Smith. An out later, senior right-fielder Stefan Gartrell singled to center, scoring Railey.
On the day, Railey and Norfolk were both 2-for-5 with runs scored, and Gartrell was also 2-for-5 with an RBI. DeLong added a double and an RBI. Sophomore left-fielder Luke Sommer doubled in the second. Smith added a single, and freshman infielder George Lujan smacked his second career hit in the third.
Don starter Cousins threw seven innings, allowing only three runs (two earned) off five hits and struck out four while not allowing a free pass. Junior right-hander John Quine finished the game, going two scoreless innings, striking out three and only giving up two hits.
Portland starter, sophomore left-hander Ari Ronick (3-3), threw six innings, allowing two runs (both earned) off eight hits, three walks, and struck out seven Dons. Junior right-hander Austin Dirks earned his seventh save, pitching three innings of scoreless ball, allowing only two hits and striking out three.
Six Pilots had hits in the game, with senior first baseman Matthew Peters stroking two, including a double. He also scored a run and had two RBI.
USF and Portland meet for game two of the three-game WCC series at Benedetti Diamond on Friday afternoon. First pitch is set for 1:00 P.M.

MACNEIL COMPLETES WEEKEND SWEEP AT BLACKHAWK FARMS For 17 year-old National SCCA competitor Cooper MacNeil, the weekend of May 1-2, 2010 will be one that stands out on his CV for a while to come. The Fall-Line Motorsports and WeatherTech No. 76...
For 17 year-old National SCCA competitor Cooper MacNeil, the weekend of May 1-2, 2010 will be one that stands out on his CV for a while to come. The Fall-Line Motorsports and WeatherTech No. 76 BMW E46 Touring 2 M3 completed the weekend sweep garnering 2 victories, 2 pole positions and a new track record for SCCA National SafeRacer contest. MacNeil was nearly untouched in every competitive lap around the Illinois Blackhawk Farms road racing circuit.
Thursday proved a successful test day, under the watchful eyes of the Fall-Line Motorsports crew headed by stalwart SCCA racer Rob May and driver coach Randy Pobst. Cooper focused on the chassis setup of the E46 M3 platform. Pobst, who did time in the car to set a baseline for Cooper posted a lap that was almost matched by the young National driver later in the weekend.
Come qualifying, MacNeil threw down the gauntlet early posting the fastest time in T2 and for group two. MacNeil made it look easy on track as he was clear of fellow rival Alan Kossof in another Fall-Line prepared BMW M3. That sizable advantage proved exactly what MacNeil needed to take a thirteen plus second victory in race one.
Sunday's action saw another pole position for the Hinsdale Central High School Junior. In nearly identical fashion to the prior day MacNeil cruised to his third SCCA National win in six races, making him an early favorite for SCCA's crown jewel, the SCCA National Championship title.
"This is a fantastic result for the WeatherTech BMW M3," stated an elated MacNeil after the weekends events. "We had the car to beat and Fall-Line Motorsports helped me make it look easy out there this weekend. We have a lot of positive momentum this year already and my seat time will only increase over the remainder over the summer once my school responsibilities are over. I really have to thank, Fall-Line Motorsports, WeatherTech, Rob May, Randy Pobst and all my friends who supported me this weekend."

Belly button piercings are popular mainly amongst teen females, but people of all ages and genders can get them. The most common type of jewelry used for belly button piercings are barbells which are often called "belly bars" when used in this particular piercing. Changing the jewelry can be tricky at first, but with a little practice you can do it in under a minute.
Wash hands with warm water and antibacterial soap. You want everything to be clean to ensure that no dirt will get inside the piercing. Dry hands with a towel.
Wash the new piece of jewelry with a saline solution. Set it aside in a clean spot and let it air dry. It should be dry around the same time you get the jewelry out of your belly button.
Grab each end of the barbell. Once you have a firm grip, turn the bottom ball to the left until it starts to unscrew. Screw the ball completely off and set it aside. Slowly pull the jewelry out of your belly button. Be gentle because the threads on the barbell could cut the inside of the piercing.
Take the new barbell and unscrew the ball on either end. Once the ball is removed, carefully line the jewelry up with your piercing. Slowly slide the jewelry through the entire hole. Do not force it through, as this could damage the piercing.
Screw the ball back on once the jewelry is in place. Make sure it is tight enough that it will not come unscrewed on its own.

101 Things To Do At the Mall when you're broke
Well? Any fun things you've done/plan to do when you're at the mall with no money?
#1 Try to trade your stuff for their stuff. "I'll trade you these packs of gum, my hat, and this football for a smoothie."
Find the bookstore and read a book, then put it back.
#3 Block the isles with shopping carts full of stuff. People will think they are someone's things and just leave them there.
#4 Um... Go window shopping?
To be honest, it's not likely to happen much to me, I think.
But yeah, Windowshopping.
Go into the movie store (FYE or whatever), take the childs material (Teletubbies or whatever is popular these days) and place them throughout the Adult videos section.
Even better, replace teletubbie DVDs and replace them with "Saw III" DVDs.
Lord Vader
#7- Go to Borders and read me some free books. ^^
Go into the toy store and play with stuff.
Do the same at the Gaming store.
And Spencers.
Sit on the little kid rides and beg people for quarters to ride. See if you can get enough to buy a pretzel from Auntie Anne's.
#9: Let loose a snake at the pet store. In the confusion steal a large dog and let it loose in a fancy clothing store or jewelry store.
What, it dies that quickly? Fine, I'll add some stuff.
10: Ask mall cops if they have any good World War II stories.
11: Go to the perfume store, and ask for a sample to be sprayed on your wrist. When you get said sample, act like you're having an allergic reaction and say you need a grape slurpee to offset it. Foam at the mouth for realism.
blackout wrote:
Foam at the mouth for realism.
If you have a trick that allows you to do that at will, do share.
... I want to be able to get out of school in the middle of the day. >.>
Stick a bit of toothpaste with hydrogen peroxide in your cheek?
Fake rabies? Hurrah!
12. Steal things! ... I mean... take things when people arn't looking... I mean... ask perfect strangers for handouts because you're hungry. Yeah, that's the one. "Hey mister, could you spot me a couple bucks? I wanna get an ice cream"
13. Fight zombies!
Bookboy wrote:
13. Fight zombies!
Don't forget your camera.
I was typing this, and suddenly I realized, I've actually done a lot of these!
I never knew I was broke at the mall so often
1. Bring a sketch pad and start drawing whatever/whoever you see. Sometimes people will stop and watch, if you're really lucky and a really good artist they'll request a picture and actually pay you for it. I've had plenty of people stop and watch, but no buyers.
2. Wait till you spot a friend of yours, then go shopping with them, especially if they have money!
3. Find a book store. Read.
4. Find a leather store and feel all the merchandise. I love the feel of good leather.
5. Pick a really expensive clothing store and try on all the stuff you love but know you can't afford to buy.
6. There are free samples of makeup, lotion and perfume in some department stores.
7. Some stores have reclining chairs on display, find the comfyest one and take a short nap.
8. Look at all the nail polish colors in the salon just for kicks. Read the names. Some of the names of those colors are so silly.
9. Test the knobs on all the gumball machines and candy machines. Sometimes you get lucky and get a free gumball.
10. This game is best done with a friend who keeps track of where youre going so you dont actually get lost. Take a good look at the map. Then walk through the mall being careful to look only at your feet and not keep track of where you are going. When properly lost look around and try to use your memory of the map to find your way back.
11. Keep your eyes and ears open at all times, you never know when somebody will drop some spare change. It just takes one clumsy person and you can end up with enough to buy an egg roll in the food court.
12. Find an over-eager salesperson. Act really interested in their merchandise. They'll get so excited they'll be tripping all over themselves thinking you'll buy it. When you can't stand putting the poor sucker through it any more, tell them you have no money and watch their expression
13. Just sit there and smile and wave at random people. It confuses them.
14. Come up with weird alternative names for the stores. Share the names you invented with your friends later to get a few laughs.
15. People watch. The most bizarre people come to malls. I'm telling you the fashion statements are a riot.
16. Ride the escalators. Up and down and up and down and up and...
17. Play with the toys in the toy stores.
18. Watch the videos they've got playing in the electronics stores.
19. Listen to the music samples from those annoying little music playing things how do you describe those things they have pictures of the cds on them and you press on the picture and it will play a sample, usually its some sort of sounds of nature sounds of the ocean you know what Im talking about right?
20. You know those talking toys? The ones that say Press the bears foot and hear it sing 3 different songs! Yup. Those toys. Make every single one of them start talking or singing at once. Then go stand off to one side looking like the noise is annoying you as much as its annoying the other people in the store.
21. Window shop.
Sit in things. I recently went to the mall of america for the first time and sat in some giant comfortable bean bags, and a thing I like to call DOME CHAIR! It was a masasage chair that had a dome that came down over your head and had fun lights in it and played music.
Oh and wave to random people.
If you're in a mall with a water feature, take all the small change that'll inevitably get thrown in there.
Ohhh....Gnrlshrimp is on to something there... you can get enough to buy lunch if you do that... yup definitely good idea. Sadly, the mall I visit most often does not have a fountain.
Find an ATM and withdraw some money.
Go into the shop where you buy your dice (if you buy dice), and ask to test them. If they let you, complain that they only go up to X (where the dice has X faces), and that you want one (with the same number of faces) that goes higher.

Iirc, my dad said it's illegal to do that in some places in Britain. Dunno what it's like for you americans. =P
I think it's illegal if the money in the fountain is going to be collected and given to charity or something...I remember seeing a little notice about that in the trafford centre once before.
Luckily, people chuck their money in all the fountains, even the ones where the money won't be used for anything.

THE END OF THE EARTH IS MY HOME is a modern
fantasy inspired by several classic stories combined with
the writer/director's travel experience. The story is primarily
an amalgamation of elements from the traditional Asian Stories
of the Monkey King and Bram Stoker's Dracula.
'Monkey' is one of the great quest stories,
a 16th century Chinese epic called Xi Yu Chi ( Journey to
the West ) by Wu Ch'eng En. It is probably most familiar to
western audiences from a Japanese television series from the
late 1970's called 'Monkey Magic'. These tales describe demons
and monsters that threaten Tripitaka, a Buddhist monk, on
a journey to India to find scriptures.
'Monkey Magic' drew from the later, picaresque
and episodic passages of these tales and emphasized their
surreal and comic aspects. This film looks towards the earlier,
lesser known and darker chapters which deal with the Monkey
King's birth and illumination and with the perplexity evoked
by new found immortality. Arthur Whalley, in his translation
from the 1940's, calls Monkey "... unique in its
combination of beauty with absurdity, of profundity with nonsense".
It is this duality that informs the story of this film as
it unfolds.
The world of this film is also derived from
the Buddhist world of the Monkey myths, where time in Heaven
is not like earthly time. When Monkey spends time in Heaven
decades pass by for the mortal monkeys he has left on the
earth below. Similarly, when he is banished to the underworld,
he spends aeons in darkness while daily life for the monkeys
above progresses as normal. This three-tiered time structure
has been grafted onto the fictional world of this film, manifesting
itself literally within the architecture and on the streets
of a city.
Monkey was originally set in China in 630
AD, this film updates the story elements to a modern fictitious
setting - an island called 'Hai-Wan', in the 'Bay of Thunder'.
Most elements of the original story are replaced by contemporary
equivalents. The monsters and demons of the original tales
are now human. The dialogue, however, retains its mannered
tone. This is intended to create the feeling of an island
out of time, that is a world unto itself.
It is in the subject of immortality that
these elements from Monkey overlap and combine with elements
from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. The time structure allows characters
to almost materialize and de-materialize, as elusively as
vampires, and the vehicles and transport systems of the futuristic
city recall the Count's unearthly driver-less carriages. The
immortal characters, not specified as vampires or zombies,
but rather treated simply as spirits - are represented by
blue skin – a device common in Japanese cinema and stage
for representing ghosts or spirits, another element which
overlaps with the traditional imagery of the pale complexion
of the vampire.
The city itself is a mish-mash of Asian,
Middle Eastern, Russian and European communities, providing
different cultural backgrounds for the different districts
of the island.

When both you and your health insurance company pay part of your medical expense, it's called cost sharing. Deductibles, coinsurance and copays are all examples. Understanding how they work will help you know when and how much you have to pay for care.
- A deductible is the amount you pay for health care services before your health insurance begins to pay.
Let's say your plan's deductible is $1,500. That means for most services, you'll pay 100 percent of your health care bills until the amount you pay reaches $1,500. After that, you share the cost with your plan by paying coinsurance and copays.
- Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a health care service. It's usually figured as a percentage of the amount we allow to be charged for services. You start paying coinsurance after you've paid your plan's deductible.
- A copay is a fixed amount you pay for a health care service, usually when you receive the service. The amount can vary by the type of service.
Co-pays, and deductibles are due at the appointment.
The benefit phone number is sometimes listed on an insurance card as benefits, customer service or on the health insurance card following MH/SA (mental health/substance abuse).
Clients should look on their insurance company website or call their insurance company and ask if I am a covered provider if they have a plan requiring providers to be contracted with the insurance company.
If I am not a preferred provider they should ask if their insurance provides 'out of network benefits'.
If their plan covers 'out of network benefits' ask if they will cover a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Clients should call or make sure they have a referral or authorization if needed as we do not do that.
If you don't check your benefits and don't know what your coverage is, we will guestimate what your portion will be from our experience with your insurance company.
If you check your benefits, we will use your information.
Insurances cover counseling with the individual and / or a family member. Do not worry about asking about family, marriage or couple's therapy. The terminology used by clients and insurance companies is different. If you are covered for therapy or mental health benefits you can bring anyone you want with you.
If your insurance says you need a medical diagnosis, don't worry. Stress to life changes or stages are a diagnosis. A person is having anxiety and/or depression or other symptoms whether or not the cause is from a relationship, the insurance company will cover the counseling when we are addressing the anxiety and depression or other symptoms that will improve while also addressing how these or other symptoms are caused by or how they impact a client's relationships. Medically covered symptoms can include and are not limited to: anxiety, depression, exhaustion, lack of motivation or focus, explosiveness, obsessions, compulsions, racing thoughts, mood swings, fearfulness, worry, nervousness, panic and substance abuse.
If a person is covered by two insurance plans, they MUST use their primary insurance before the secondary insurance can be billed for the amount remaining after the primary insurance company pays. If we receive inaccurate insurance information from a client and cannot correctly bill the current insurance company and thus the charges are denied, we will be billing the client directly and payment will be need to be paid immediately.
If two people are coming in together and they have different benefits, they will want to check and compare benefits to see whose coverage is best for therapy. Only one person's insurance can be billed for a session. You can schedule two sessions next to each other and then we can bill each person's insurance for one session so that we have more time in a double session.
If I am a provider for an insurance company and we have that insurance information from the client, I have to bill the insurance per my contract with the insurance company and have to go by what they allow charged.
I cannot write off or waive any portion of what the insurance company says the client must pay.
The insurance company will NEVER pay for a no-show or late cancellation or telephone appointment or emails or phone calls or letters. These will have to be paid by the client at the next appointment or upon receipt of the bill - whichever occurs first.
The insurance company will NEVER pay for a no-show or late cancellation or telephone appointment or emails or phone calls or letters. These will have to be paid by the client at the next appointment or upon receipt of the bill - whichever occurs first.

I've used a number of different programming languages, and some have even earned me a little money. My Android development experience is pretty negligible, involving only Perl and Ruby on SL4A, and Ruby on Ruboto.
If only because there isn't something better that I've found, RedPhone tops my list right now, I think.
I'd like to learn how to make the most of my Android device(s), and contribute some of that knowledge to others when I've acquired it for myself.
I'm an Android user, a coder, a writer, et cetera, and I'm addicted to learning.

Bangladesh court convicts British reporter of contempt
A Bangladesh court on Tuesday found an award-winning British journalist guilty of contempt for questioning the official death toll of three million in the country's 1971 independence war.
Judges from a special war crimes court ruled that a blog and two other articles written by David Bergman "hurt the feelings of the nation" and ordered him to pay a 5,000 taka ($65) fine or go to prison for a week.
The case was seen as a test of the country's commitment to free speech after Bergman cast doubt on the official version of one of the most contentious issues in Bangladesh's short history.
Delivering the verdict in the capital Dhaka, presiding judge Obaidul Hassan told the courtroom that "freedom of expression can be exercised in good faith and public interest".
"David Bergman neither has good faith nor an issue of public interest," the judged added.
The International Crimes Tribunal, a domestic court which has found several top opposition leaders guilty of mass murder, asked the government to probe Bergman's reporting on its work.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has justified the trials on the grounds that the scale of bloodshed in Bangladesh's war of secession from Pakistan demands that perpetrators be brought to justice, even four decades later.
But critics say her government has deliberately exaggerated the death toll as a way of intimidating her opponents and countering unease from abroad about a trial process lacking any international oversight.
Most of the war deaths have been blamed on troops from Pakistan, which ruled over Bangladesh from 1947 -- when the territory was known as East Pakistan -- until 1971.
But Hasina's government says Bangladeshi militants were behind some of the most brutal killings, including the massacre of intellectuals.
Most independent estimates say the actual toll of war dead is in the hundreds of thousands.
- 'No scope to appeal' -
Bergman's lawyer Mustafizur Rahman said the court verdict was a big disappointment but there was "no scope" to launch an appeal.
"It was our submission before the tribunal that the laws of Bangladesh permit constructive criticism of court orders and proceedings in a restrained language by a person having knowledge of its affairs," Rahman told AFP.
"It was our submission before the tribunal that David Bergman acted within those bounds.
"David Bergman has never been against the process of the tribunal. As a matter of fact, he brought attention to the issue of prosecuting persons having committed war crimes in 1971 at a time when the rest of the world was on the verge of forgetting this issue."
The 49-year-old Bergman won a British television award in 1995 for a documentary exposing alleged war criminals who had taken refuge in the United Kingdom.
Lawyer Abul Kalam Azad, who filed the petition against Bergman, told AFP the judgement was "fair and right".
"No one has the right to question the three million death toll in the 1971 independence war. It is a settled issue," he added.
Bergman, who is an editor of local English-language daily New Age and also writes for Britain's Daily Telegraph, has been living in Bangladesh for more than a decade. He is married to a top human rights lawyer.
His conviction came when Bergman was writing a series of reports in the New Age on the alleged involvement of the country's security forces in the abduction and disappearance of 19 opposition activists before disputed elections held in January of this year.

Textiles are more than simply sewing. Textiles are a tradition that go back to the time when humans had to figure out how to carry more things than they could manage with just their hands, when they had to cover themselves for warmth, or when they had to store things. Down through the ages, as creative minds contemplated the making of a bag, a garment or a container - decoration came into play. As time passed - these methods of construction and decoration developed into a textile tradition and art form.
We want to celebrate the textile artform by having exhibitions of textile "type" arts at Social Fabric.
Textile arts are NOT limited to pieces made from fibers or cloth. For our purposes, we include any textile "process" as being defined as a textile art form. Therefore any work which includes winding, plaiting, weaving, combining layers - well - just about ANY way to bring different materials together - those are often considered textile processes. That's why you'll see "textile" arts that have very little fabric/cloth/textiles in them. Consider chain link fence. THAT is a textile process used to combine a metallic (fiber) at an industrial scale.
Think about the possibilites - we have.....and we are fascinated by them. We hope you will be also. Take a look at some of the ways artists have taken liberties with the textile art form, and enjoy!
To view our exhibits, look for the pages under the Gallery heading above.

Inspiration teachers – Think Global Educator of the Year Award #GEYA2017
This year, in my role as a trustee I was privileged to attend Think Global's Global Educator of the Year Award celebration event. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day to be on a roof terrace next to The Oval.
Four really amazing teachers, this year's finalists, came together with friends, families and guests to share what they had been doing to encourage young people to find out about the UN Sustainable Development Goals, or Global Goals and what action they could take to help achieve them.
The teachers had all worked in different ways, but what came across load and clear was their commitment to helping pupils understand how achieving the Global Goals are relevant to the whole world, UK included, and what action they could take as a result.
The winner, Jane Yates from Armathwaite Primary School has embedded global learning throughout the curriculum at her school, and inspired and encouraged students to be active citizens and critical thinkers. She also took the lead in developing awareness of the Global Goals through the schools 23 Global Learning Programme (GLP) partner schools, and other GLP expert centres across the country.
Nathan Aktinson, Head of Richmond Hill Primary School in Leeds set up the incredible Fuel for Schools project which now runs in 60 primary schools around Leeds. Lottie O'Brien, Head of Social Science at the Commonweal School created a new curriculum which threads global learning and in particular the Global Goals into teaching. Andrew Christie, Geography Coordinator at Whitehill Junior School leads the GLP network of 14 partner schools and has introduced a wide variety of projects linked to the Global Goals at his school.
Paul Langley from Oxfam, one of the judges said:
"The Global Educator of the Year award, and the work of Think Global, in inspiring, equipping and recognising the role teachers at the heart of global citizenship education is fantastic. Oxfam is delighted to be part of such an important event, congratulates all the finalists and looks forward to seeing what teachers will be doing in 2018!"
If you know anyone who is doing great work in schools around global learning please contact Think Global and they will remind you when it's time for next year's nominations. We want to shout out about all the great work that is going on in schools around the UK.
For activities round the Global Goals you could do with students please take a look at the materials on our website.No Comments » | Add your comment
Supporting pupils taking part in Eco-Schools
If you are looking for a programme that is pupil led and encourages pupils to improve the sustainability of their school, community and the wider world, you really can't get better than Eco-Schools.
Pupils work on a number of topics in order to get an Eco-schools green flag, and amongst other things are required to show how the work they have done links to the curriculum.
As an Eco-Schools assessor myself I very quickly saw how Practical Action's resources could be used by pupils as part of the scheme. As well as being relevant to a number of topics such as Global Citizenship, Waste, Water, School Grounds and Healthy Living they would provide pupils with evidence of how the work they have done links to the science and D&T curriculum.
So…I decided to make life easier for both teachers and pupils by pulling together all the relevant resources into a new area of our website. Feedback so far has been great, and we have had a surge of people looking at the new area of the site. Please do take a look, and if you know of any pupils using our material in this way please do get in touch, it will make my day!No Comments » | Add your comment
Inspiring girls on International Women in Engineering Day
What a great initiative Women in Engineering Day is! Currently only 19% of engineering graduates are girls, so we are potentially missing out on a lot of talent. There are many reasons why that may be the case, but one thing is for sure, time and time again we are told that if you give girls good role models, and show them how engineering can be used to solve real problems faced by real people they are more inspired to go on to an engineering degree.
Women in Engineering Day gives organisations like the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Build Environment at Birmingham City University the chance to do just that.
They held an event in June 2017 where 80 students from 8 different schools got together with mentors from industry, many of whom were STEM Ambassadors, and had the opportunity to find out about a number of different engineering careers young female engineers enjoy, plus try out being an engineer themselves by taking part in our very own Stop the Spread challenge, based on Practical Action's work on Urban Water and Sanitation programmes in Kenya.
The day clearly had an impact on the girls who were there, both in terms of their own belief in what they can achieve and what options are out there.
'People underestimate what girls can do. After today I think that if we believe in something we should just, like, go for it'
'Before, when I thought of engineering I only thought about mechanical, but now I know there are lot of different types and opportunities like biomedical.'
As part of the Stop the Spread challenge the girls had two related tasks
- Design and build a model of a hand washing device for a primary school in Kenya
- Produce education materials that will encourage children in the school to wash their hands
Both tasks were presented to the rest of the students and the judges. The range of different designs was really impressive, as were the education materials which included songs, plays and posters.
I was particularly pleased that the design task really brought out a deep level of thinking of around the importance of considering how and where a product will be used; how to factor in relevant scientific knowledge, then incorporating all that into the design. Great STEM skills.
''I've learnt that the environment is different in different places so you need to think about that when you design something. So in Kenya water will evaporate really quickly so you need to find a solution to stop it from evaporating''
Hanna, Langley School
My favourite quote of the day however has to be this one,
'Today I have learnt that I am more creative than I think I am' …Go girl!!

Why aren't more girls in Europe studying STEM? What can we do to change this?
That was the subject of a huge Pan-European research project conducted by Microsoft and the subject of a recent webinar they held.
As someone who is passionate about encouraging more girls into STEM and reducing the inequality around STEM in the workplace I was also interested to see if there were any insights that I could incorporate into my own work. I work within a team that produces free STEM resources for girls and boys in schools, and runs a teacher training programme.
11,500 girls aged 11-30 from 10 different countries including the UK took part, the top insights are below.
Interesting isn't it? Good for us to see that 'girls crave creativity and hands on experience'. Our STEM challenges in particular give them the opportunity to do that, so according to the research will help convert their interest into a passion…so we're on the right track!
The report also stated that the closer work around STEM was to real life the more helpful it was for girls. They really like to understand how STEM can be applied. This backs up something else I heard at a presentation from Raspberry Pi…that in the main boys like tech for tech's sake, whereas girls like it as a tool to achieve something. Again this support how our STEM challenges and other materials that focus on real life applications of STEM in the developing world.
Other points that got my interest were that the teachers were actually more influential than parents, and it didn't matter if that teacher was male or female. Mentors also hugely influential, which support the UK STEM Ambassadors programme. One slightly quirky finding was that whilst for some girls approval of peers to go into STEM was important, others quite liked that it was seen as a bit unusual, it was that that attracted them! A breakdown of the most important factors can be seen below.
At Practical Action we will continue to work with partners to ensure our materials are inspiring to girls as well as boys.No Comments » | Add your comment

STEM conference on Practical Action projects
Isn't it just great when a plan comes together and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling?
Well I got that fuzzy feeling when tweets started appearing in my twitter feed all about a STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) conference organised by Pevensey and Westham CE Primary school in Eastbourne.
120 students from 11 different schools got together to share work they had been doing on global challenges, inspired by Practical Action projects around the world and using Practical Action's STEM challenges as a basis for their own work. Students presented their projects which included aerial ropeways to transport tomatoes; wind turbines; hand washing devices and flood resistant houses.
The conference had come about on the back of some training we had delivered in Eastbourne organised by Marcus Cherrill, Director of I Can teach Ltd, who had approached us having discovered our materials on line (so all that work on SEO paid off!!). Marcus got in touch with us and said he would like us to deliver training to teachers in Eastbourne around our STEM challenges in preparation for the pupil conference.
It was great to see that the training really paid off and the teachers' enthusiasm about our materials clearly transferred to the pupils when they took them back to the classroom. Pupils were inspired by Practical Action's work and keen to develop models of their own solutions to global poverty. They had obviously put a lot of thought and work into their presentation and one of the teams even had t-shirts printed with their group name on! The local press were there too so the conference got good coverage in the Eastbourne Herald.
A huge well done to all the students who took part, we hope you go on to be the scientists and engineers of the future that we need to help us alleviate poverty and solve some of the huge global challenges we are currently facing.

A new STEM challenge – Stop the Spread
Having a new STEM challenge to promote is always such a great feeling!
STEM challenges are our most popular materials. Teachers tell us time and time again how they love them not just because they inspire their pupils, but because the support materials are so comprehensive their prep time is reduced to a minimum 🙂
Stop the Spread is our brand new STEM challenge for 7-16 years. Highlighting the global issue of infectious diseases pupils design, build and test a model of a hand washing device and produce educational materials for children in Kenya to encourage hand washing.
Free materials to support the delivery of the challenge include teacher guidelines, a student pack, PowerPoint, certificates and a poster.
Stop the Spread is accredited for the British Science Association CREST Discovery Award and can used to enter the Youth Grand Challenges competitions. It has strong links to the Global Goals for sustainable development.
Perfect for British Science Week #BSW2017, STEM and science clubs, transition and off-timetable days as well as embedding into the school curriculum.
Elaine Manton, STEM Co-ordinator from Loreto Grammar School said
''We have just incorporated Stop the Spread into our KS3 curriculum and are not only using it for our Year 8 assessment but also for our Student Leaders Awards."
STEM careers in International Development
Do you have students who are interested in the big global challenges we are facing? Do they want to help find the solution to climate change and having enough food for everyone on the planet? If so a career in International Development could be for them.
My STEM(Science, Technology , engineering and Maths) job at Practical Action, is to produce education materials to help students discover how STEM can be used to reduce poverty around the world. Other people I work with have great jobs such as helping people get access to electricity, sharing information about the best materials to use to make a house flood-proof, working with communities to install solar powered water pumps, helping farmers breed salt-resistant crops… they are the scientists and engineers. Then there are people who do jobs you might not think of that are really important to the backbone of our organisation , like working in finance. They also get to travel around the world and see the great work our organisation is doing.
To raise awareness of the great opportunities a STEM career in international development can bring we have a lovely free poster you can request and a number of case studies free to download at www.practicalaction.org/careers . They would make a great display 🙂

STEM is for Girls – People like me
I want to spread the word about a really great initiative from WISE ( Women In Science and Engineering) which was launched today at CE Technologies in Slough. Working through volunteers around the country People Like me focuses on helping girls aged 11-14 realise that the aptitude and skills they have are needed for careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), careers that girls in particular do not always believe they are suited too.
The scale of the problem was highlighted by Helen Wollaston, WISE CEO, who pointed out that only 7% of girls go onto STEM careers after level 4, compared to 24% of boys* Jacqueline do Rojas, managing director of UKI, Sage and President, techUK pointed out that often the 'T' in STEM got ignored, but in fact 'every business has a digital heartbeat' ( I really liked that!) and that Tech jobs are growing at a rate of 10x more than any other sector.
The message was clear, for our businesses to be successful we need to make the most of our talent pool, which of course includes girls. According to Prof. Averil Macdonald we will attract girls to apply for jobs in the sector if we can help them firstly realise that they can do it and secondly that they will fit it. This was backed up by Paul Briault from CA Technologies who reinforced that what businesses need is a culture of recognising that teams work best when they are 'happy and diverse and play to people's strengths'. A culture where women will feel comfortable and have the opportunity to thrive.
At Practical Action we are also aware of the importance of more girls going into STEM, to become the scientists and engineers of the future that can help solve the big global challenges ahead. We are delighted at feedback from teachers and pupils which tells us that girls in particular love our resources as they highlight the social impact of science and technology. See the video below which shows 90 girls from 8 schools in Birmingham taking part in our Beat the Flood STEM challenge. We are also partners in an EU funded project called Girls Into Global STEM (GIGS), which aims to engage more girls in STEM by getting them involved in creating and taking part in global STEM challenges and developing their digital skills in the process. We are at the beginning of the project but watch this space for more information.
If you and/or your organisation are interested in finding out more about the campaign and helping WISE reach their target of reaching 200,000 girls in the next two years please go to https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/about-us/wise-projects/people-like-me.

Our Practical Action schools survey said…
A few months ago we asked teachers and educators to take part in an online survey. We particularly wanted to find out about how they used our schools materials but also a bit about how they found out about us in the first place and if they liked our materials how they promoted them to others. We did a similar survey in 2012 so were also interested in any changes that had occurred. 383 people took part.
Some of the more interesting bits from our point of view are summarised in the infographic.
What we are most proud of…once they know we exist over half of teachers visit our website every 2-3 months, and 93% recommend our resources to others
What surprised us the most…since 2012 there has not been an increase in the number of teachers and educators who use social media as a tool to gather and share information?
What has made us think…Over 45% said they found out about us at local events such as Teachmeets where teachers meet to share ideas and good practice. We do a lot of promotion ourselves (social media, newsletters, articles etc.) but clearly teachers and educators are very successful advocates for us.
What we changed as a result…We estimate the number of pupils we reach, and the targets we set ourselves based on an extrapolation of downloads. This survey enabled us to do that more accurately and we have adjusted our calculations accordingly.
What was an unexpected outcome of doing the survey?…10% of people who took part in the survey hadn't heard of us before they did, so just running the survey enabled us to reach more lovely teachers!1 Comment » | Add your comment

Canoe Color and Materials Options
Options overview:
- Choose a Kevlar finish for the best strength and weight. Natural yellow.
- Choose a Carbon Fiber or hybrid carbon fiber for the best appearance. All Black, or Blended Black
- Choose Colored Kevlar for a unique rich appearance. Red or Blue
- Choose Epoxy Color for bright, solid colors. Various Colors.
Natural Kevlar details:
Color: Yellow
Appearance: Yellow, and slightly translucent in bright light. May become darker in color over time.
Notes: Lightweight and strong. There is no side seam. This is the color of most lightweight canoes.
Carbon Fiber details:
Color: Black
Appearance: Beautiful– sure to be the envy of other paddlers. All black and glints in the light. Can almost appear to be wet or moving when the angle of the light changes.
Notes: Carbon fiber finish layer over the Kevlar canoe hull. The carbon fiber I use shows a beautiful diagonal weave pattern. This enhances the reflective quality of the carbon fiber–very attractive. There is no side seam. Same weight and strength as all-kevlar canoe.
Hybrid Carbon Fiber with Color details:
Colors: Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Green
Appearance: Beautiful and unique. The fabric is woven with black carbon fiber in one direction, and colored Kevlar in the other. The appearance is of alternating diagonal lines of color and black. Think of these as carbon fiber with a subtle hint of color… very beautiful and classy.
Notes: Because carbon fiber is so dark, the blue and especially the green fabrics have very subtle color, and show up best under bright sunlight. There is a side seam (fabric overlap on sides of canoe).
Colors: Red and Blue
Appearance: Deep, Rich color, with a classy diagonal textured appearance.
Notes: These colors are somewhat dark and show their best in bright sunlight. This is the lightest-weight option for colors and the finish is beautiful and unique. There is a side seam (fabric overlap on sides of canoe)
Colors: White, Black, Keel Blue, Indigo Blue, Teal, Golden Yellow, Bright Yellow, Green, Brown, Grey, Red, Off-White, Custom.
Appearance: Beautiful, bright, solid color. For this option, I add a pigment to the epoxy resin, to give color throughout the hull.
Notes: As the name implies, the color is in the epoxy resin, rather than in the reinforcement material. The colors are uniform and bright. This option adds only 2-3 pounds to the canoe, making it far lighter than gel coat. Epoxy Color provides the best UV protection of any Nighthawk finish and increases overall strength slightly. You may think of this as a fiberglass-reinforced, epoxy-based gel coat. It can not blister or chip off, and can only wear through if the fiberglass is also worn away. Tough, lightweight and attractive. Easy to repair.
Epoxy color looks like gelcoat, but it is applied differently and is lighter weight. Because the process is different, be aware of the following attributes of this option.

The amount of available molecular biological data has increased by several orders of magnitude over the past decades, and the quality and accessibility of these data continue to improve exponentially. The ensuing shift toward the "large-p, small-n" paradigm holds great promise for medical discovery, but it also presents unique analytic challenges. Translational medicine is focused on generating clinically relevant conclusions from these large-volume databases, but this goal will be achieved only if the present paradigm shift in data generation is accompanied by a similar paradigm shift in data modeling. Here, we propose five specific conceptual and theoretical changes in data modeling strategies that will facilitate improved translational analysis of large-volume molecular databases.

People often get confused when it comes to what and what kind of makeup they need for their daily use. Or betterstill, how to build their personal Makeup kit. they feel it's one helluva job, or it's strictly for the pros.
Building a personal Makeup kit goes beyond just going to the store and buying your shade of powder or foundation or buy red/ pink lipstick, eyeshadow, blush bronzer etc.
Before one starts to think of what kind of makeup they would suit her skin or skin tone, there are a lot of factors to consider or check. Don't get too scared it's not an exam you're preparing for😂😂.
To avoid buying beauty products you don't need or buying what you'll never use, I would quickly list these factors to consider.
- Your skin type
- Your skin undertone
- Your personal style
When you have put these factors into consideration then it would make it easier to gradually and efficiently build your kit.
In our next post and the ones coming, I would talk about these points in details. Do subscribe so you don't miss a post.
Do have an awesome day ahead…

This invention relates to lightweight structural members and more particularly to multiple layers of honeycomb, foam or similar lightweight material members bonded together for increased structural strength and improved bonding strength.
Structural uses of honeycomb and foam construction have been confined previously to single layers. Increased advantages of strength-per-weight, torsional strength, joining strength, impact strength and other advantages related to particular products, however, can be achieved with multiple layers of bonded honeycomb members. The aerospace industry is the most prolific user of honeycomb construction. There its often greater cost is compensated by essential strength-per-weight. Prior use of multiple honeycomb layers have been only at joints to join single honeycomb layers to other single layers or to other structural members of aircraft. The use of multiple layers for increased structural strength in addition to increased joining strength and decreased construction cost has not been recognized nor developed. U.S. patents describing joining methods with variations of multiple layers of honeycomb material include U.S. Pat. No. 4,671,470 granted to Jonas in June 1987; U.S. Pat. No. 4,395,450 granted to Whitener in July 1983; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,416,349 granted to Jacobs in November 1983. None of these employed multiple layers except to a limited extent at joints. They did not provide the strength of multiple layers throughout the structure and at the joints.
Other methods of joining honeycomb members have included variations of potted bolts such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,370,372 granted to Higgins in 1983; U.S. Pat. No. 4,052,202 granted to Fischer & Fischer in 1977; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,282,015 granted to Rohe et al. in 1966. Like the multiple layers only at joints, the potting methods provide only local strength and resulted in decrease of overall strength per weight.
One object of this invention is to increase strength-per-weight of honeycomb construction.
Another object is to decrease cost by decreasing costs of connections for honeycomb construction.
Another object is to increase the uses of honeycomb construction by providing higher dynamic-use strength and higher connection strength.
Another object is to increase the uses of honeycomb construction.
Particular objects are to provide improved aircraft frame construction, aircraft wing construction, aircraft cabinetry, general cabinetry, prefabrication of built-in dwelling cabinetry and general cabinetry.
Multiple layers of honeycomb cores are bonded together side-by-side to increase strength, to customize strength relationships in relation to form for particular structural components and to provide a base for strong connections to honeycomb structures. Increased strength results from utilizing outside layers as skins for some embodiments with an effect of progressive increase of strength of honeycomb core with the multiple layers. Connection strength is provided by formation of connection bays in one or more outside layers to which connection members of structural components are bonded in the connection bays. The outside or distal honeycomb core layers can be higher density and higher strength than inside core layers for dynamic and impact-related use-conditions in addition to providing a thicker and stronger surface to which other structures and other honeycomb members can be connected.
This invention is described by claims in relation to a description of preferred embodiments illustrated in the following drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of representative embodiments;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a two-layer honeycomb panel with a drawer-holding assembly attached at one side;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a three-layer honeycomb panel with a drawer-holding assembly attached at both sides;
FIG. 4 is a side view of spliced-panel-connection embodiment;
FIG. 5 is a cross section of a portion of an airplane wing demonstrating aircraft structural and contoured applications of this honeycomb construction;
FIG. 6 is an end view of divider connections with this invention; and
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of additional structural and connection features.
Referring to FIG. 1 and to all FIGS. generally, a proximal honeycomb core 1 is bonded at opposite sides to proximal core skin 2. A distal core 3 is bonded at opposite sides to distal core skin 4. At least one distal core 3 with distal skins 4 is bonded to either or both proximal core skins 2. Either a proximal core skin 2 or a distal core skin 4 can be utilized as a common skin between bonded proximal cores 1 and distal cores 3. The distal cores 3 and skins 4 function, in effect, as outer skins to the proximal core 1. They form an exoskeleton construction for providing increased beam-type strength, for attachment of appendages of connecting structures and for interface with use-conditions. The workloads of the proximal cores 1 can be greatly different from the workloads of the distal cores 3 and both the cores 1 and 3 and the skins 2 and 4 can be designed appropriately different accordingly.
Referring to all FIGS. except FIG. 5, connection bays in any form such as a channel connection bay 5 or an angle connection bay 6 can be provided at distal-core channel walls 7 with bay floors 8 at preferably an outside surface of proximal skin 2 or, alternatively for some purposes, at an inside surface of distal skin 3. Structural connection members 9 comprising either other honeycomb members such as shelves or shelf-like forms 10 or other materials can be sized and shaped to fit snugly into the connection bays 5 and 6 and to be bonded there with appropriate bonding agents and bonding procedures.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, other non-honeycomb components such as a drawer-slide assembly 11 can be utilized in this honeycomb construction. Drawers provide particularly severe dynamic use-conditions for conventional honeycomb construction of cabinetry. But with the exoskeleton construction and connection strength provided by this invention, more demanding use conditions can be designed for with honeycomb construction. This is a particular advantage for cabinetry for aerospace vehicles, cars, motor homes, boats, prefabricated homes and trailer homes. For all cabinetry, it provides particularly sturdy and now long-lasting construction under typical use-conditions. FIG. 2 illustrates a single-sided attachment and FIG. 3 a double-sided attachment construction.
Referring to FIG. 4, a spliced panel 12 with a mirror-image fitting 13 of another structural member or spliced panel can form a connection bay and connection member. This is a form of an angle connection bay.
Referring to FIG. 5, a section of an airplane wing 14 with a contoured inside core 15, also referred to as a proximal core, and matching outside contoured core 16, also referred to as a distal core, demonstrate construction with proximal and distal honeycomb layers for curved or compound-curved forms similar to that shown in FIG. 4. To form such a curved wing, one or more proximal layers 15 is sized and shaped to a design by selectively cutting or constructing proximal core walls 17 in lengths that form the design structure at their terminal ends with the wall 17 at right angles to bending and torsional strength requirements of the design structure. Then distal core walls 19 also are cut or constructed with lengths that shape core surfaces to the contour of the proximal core with the distal core walls 18 extended generally at right angles to the direction of bending and torsional strength requirements of the structure. At positions on curves and bends, distal cores 16 with appropriately-angled distal core walls 18 can be positioned at right angles to the direction of strength requirements for maximizing structural integrity. To accomplish this, some sections may require distal cores 16 with distal core walls 18 at varying angles from the proximal core walls 17. This would require wedges or wedge-shaped core walls. However, in the case of the airplane wing 14 with near-parallel walls and an acutely-curved leading edge 19, the leading edge 19 could be provided with leading-edge core walls 20 at right angles to distal core walls 18.
The leading-edge core walls 20 and a leading-edge core skin 21 could be constructed of appropriately heat-resistant and impact-strength materials. Differences in materials for proximal cores 15 and distal cores 16 are illustrated by different thicknesses of lines representing the respective core walls 17 and 18. The distal core walls 18 could be appropriately higher in density thicker for particular applications than proximal core walls 17.
Similar design characteristics and principles could be employed for a nose cone or for other sections of aerospace-vehicle construction. An airplane wing or nose cone could be constructed without either ribs, stringers or struts for many low-cost but highly reliable executive and private aircraft. To a great extent, the same principles could be employed effectively for frame and wing construction as well as for cabinetry construction of commercial aerospace vehicles also.
FIG. 6 illustrates a distal core 3 with dividers, walls or shelves 22 connected in channel connection bays 5. The dividers, walls or shelves 22 can be honeycombed or constructed of different materials as indicated by the different material cross sections.
FIG. 7 illustrates variation of thickness relationships of proximal cores 1 and distal cores 3 in relationship to channel connections bays 5 and angle connection bays 6 for different applications.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described using honeycomb materials, it can also be applied to other lightweight materials, particularly foam core, to increase strength of structural members made therefrom.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that a new and useful honeycomb construction and methods for use have been described hereinabove and that various modifications from the specific details are contemplated to fall within the following

Where the author is commissioned to write what the publisher wants him to write
The Lives of Sri Aurobindo—a Controversial Biography by Peter Heehs by RY Deshpande on Wed 17 Sep 2008 09:37 AM PDT Permanent Link 11:40 AM 1 comments: Anonymous said...
Peter Heehs is himself a riddle. One wonders what is it that inspires him to write about Sri Aurobindo (not Aurobindo-as Sri Aurobindo himself signed his name with a prefix-'Sri')? He seems to be interested only to discard those who regard Sri Aurobindo as an Avatar. What about Peter's opinion on the content carried in the book -"Life Divine"?
None insists him to accept Sri Aurobindo as an Avatar-including Sri Aurobindo himself-as Peter himself stated. Peter does not have any idea about Avatar-hood as it's believed in India. Even the most eminent Indians of the Twentieth Century did not understand it.
From my experience I have found that the Communists and some Western people(Catholic or non-Catholic) carry a grudge for Sri Aurobindo. But Why? These persons do not care to write volumes on Rajneesh or Sai Baba of Putraparti or even on Sri Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. They are this or that way related to matters spiritual in India. I think it's because -Sri Aurobindo was a born futurist and he belongs to future. And for that matter -many elites who become disillusioned with everything of what life as expressed through the Homo Sapien-species -are drawn to the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. So those who are rooted in the vested interest of the conventional LIFE -appear as die-hard enemies of Sri Aurobindo.
Peter does not know that his and for that matter the yardsticks (for Hagiography or research) of the materialist's mind is useless to understand a life and its mission which was nothing but spiritual.
Leave Sri Aurobindo. What does Peter think of Sri Ramakrishna and his contribution in spirituality? Sri Ramakrishna did not write anything himself on any matter. And he never felt it necessary to write about the materialist's confusions as well as spiritualist's misconception. Then why not are these people are interested in villifying Sri Ramakrishna? The so called intellectuals like Peter Heehs are never comfortable with Sri Aurobindo as he made himself concerned with every aspect of Life.
Moreover -the Catholic Christians and the atheists always turn to abuse Sri Aurobindo in explicit or subtle ways. Peter Heehs falls in the latter category. Why not does Mr Heehs write about the religious fundamentalists-Hindus, Muslims and Christians?
I can not expect Peter Heehs is capable of understanding Indian spiritual matters-leave alone Sri Aurobindo-but I hope that he will not mention the name of Sri Aurobindo without the prefix 'Sri'. I'm not ritualistic about it -nor I'm a religionist with Sri Aurobindo but I love and believe in giving respect to call the spiritual personalities as they wanted it in their lifetime-especially Sri Aurobindo who was very specific about it. 3:48 PM, September 19, 2008
