② Units:
- [+] Spoiler
① Teams; ② Class-Change; ③ Check; ④ Synthesis; ⑤ Awaken; ⑥ Disband
① Organise Teams:
- [+] Spoiler
- Create your teams here. Switch the team you're using by clicking one of the four coloured buttons.
② Class-Change:
- [+] Spoiler
- hello
③ Check Units:
- [+] Spoiler
- hello
④ Unit Synthesis:
- [+] Spoiler
- Synthesise units to gain xp, cost-reductions, and skill levels here. Units in a team, or locked, cannot be fed to another unit.
XP Info:
- [+] Spoiler
- If you feed a unit, you gain xp based on the rarity, gender, experience level, and the class of the food unit. Each level past LV1 adds additional xp to the base value, i.e. a LV39 Bronze Soldier Hector gives 260xp (38n+70), a AW1 Gold Healer Iris gives 250xp (0n+250), and a AW2 Gold Healer Iris gives 300 (1n+250). In addition, you can feed a fairy with the 'EXP Boost' skill to increase the amount of xp by a certain multiplier based whether it matches the rarity of the unit it's being fed to. For example, a Silver Fairy fed to a Silver Healer Dolka gives a 2x multiplier, but a Bronze Fairy fed to a Platinum Rogue Cypria gives a 1.5x multiplier.
Base Experience Value:
Rarity: Female XP; Male XP; Same Class Bonus
Iron: N/A; 40; +10
Bronze: N/A; 70; +30*
Silver: 150; 300; +50
Gold: 250; 750; +80
Platinum: 500; 1500; +100
Platinum Armour: 1000
Black: 1000; 1000; +300
Sapphire: 250; +90
*Veteran Teacher Ability (Hashim, Yojirou, etc.) gives same class bonus to all classes.
Additional XP Per Level:
Silver Dragonewt Warriors (including CC) and Iron/Bronze Rarity Units: 5xp
Pre-CC Classes: 7xp
Non-CC & Post-CC Classes: 20xp
Post-AW Classes: 50xp
EXP Boost Fairies:
Match: 1 (2x), 2 (4x), 3, (8x)
Unmatch: 1 (1.5x), 2 (2.25x), 3 (3.375x)
Mix Match/Unmatch: 1+1 (3x), 1+2 (4.5x), 2+1 (6x)
Cost Reduction Info:
- [+] Spoiler
- If you feed the same unit to each other, you have a chance of gaining a cost-reduction. It doesn't matter if the units are class-changed or awakened. For example, you can feed an Assassin Betty to a Rogue Betty for a chance of a cost-reduction. Units at mincost will have "限界値" (Minimum Value) next to the unit's deployment cost in their stat screen. Feeding a Time Fairy has a 100% chance of a cost-reduction. See the Random Percentages Section for more details.
Skill-up Info:
- [+] Spoiler
- If you feed a unit that has the exact same skill, you have a chance of gaining a skill-up. For example, you can feed a unit with "Strengthen Attack I" to a unit that also has "Strengthen Attack I" for a skill-up, but a unit with "Strengthen Attack I" cannot skill-up a unit with "Strengthen Attack II". If a unit class-changes and gains a different skill, then they lose all skill levels from their previous skill. For example, a Gold Healer Iris gains "Strengthen Recovery II" upon class-changing into a Priestess and loses all skill levels she had from "Strengthen Recovery I" as a Healer, whereas a Gold Rogue Betty keeps all skill levels upon class-changing into an Assassin because it shares the same "Assassinate I" skill she had as a Rogue. Finally, you can feed a single Rainbow Fairy to a class-changed or awakened unit for an increased chance of a skill-up. See the Random Percentages Section for more details.

It won´t start for me... not sure why. Maybe the chrome extension isn´t a valid replacement for a VPN here.

Re: Aegis Thousand Year War
there are 2 versions of this game... the original +18 one and a recent "safe" one...
all in all, I consider it a nice game if you have some free time and nothing better to do...

Same goes here, look like KC3 must be disabled or uninstall, then using VPN to access it.

Re: Aegis Thousand Year War
I still don't understand the strategy behind this game; I'm stuck on mission 15 with a wide road
I first put soldiers in position to intercept the goblins, I get that. Then there's wolves and wtf gargoyles, I don't have that many archers/witches
<@Saya> wat is ani3m
<@Dargoth> don't pretend you aren't the most hardcore otaku in the channel


text:
When I was on the Today Show, I sat down to prep a few minutes before air time. About 45 seconds before we went live, Meredith Vieira came onto set.
She took one look at the topic sheet, then reached out to shake all of our hands. In the next 30 seconds, she asked a couple questions to get to know us, and then we started the segment.
What was fascinating was that, within those 30 seconds, she was so personable that we instantly felt a connection to her ("Wow, she's so friendly!").
And I realised that the masters — like the world's top TV anchors, politicians, and business leaders — are the best for a reason. One of their skills is the invisible talent of being able to instantly connect with someone. Bill Clinton, for example, is legendary for this.
How was Meredith able to instantly connect with all of us? Was it about the words she used? The body language she employed? Or was there something deeper going on?
Building soft skills and deep personal relationships is a mystery to most of us. And what we don't understand, we're sceptical of.
That's why we're almost all sceptical of "networking" and "building relationships." We all hear phrases like "The majority of jobs are found through personal contacts." But how does that actually work? How do you go from knowing your friends to turning that into jobs?
We don't understand how this works, so we create false dichotomies like…
- "Whatever, networking is for douches"
- "I'm not good at selling myself"
- "I'd rather get a job based on WHAT I know instead of WHO I know"
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I will add Ramit's Maxim #38: Hell hath no fury like an anonymous internet commenter who sees something going on he does not understand. Witness the angry comments on my Lifehacker post from yesterday.
We get sceptical of things we can't immediately grasp. We see people who are doing insanely impressive things (like my students earning tens of thousands of dollars), and we don't understand how it's possible they're doing it but we cannot. So we start throwing around words like "Ugh, he's just a networker/slimeball/fake." This is for people we've never met, but we're sure they must be…otherwise, how would they be doing so well?
To try to do something about it, we seek out shiny tactics to earn more and find our Dream Jobs. We try them — like tweaking our resumes and finding a new job website — but we're never really sure which random techniques will work and which ones won't. We're basically shooting in the dark, never aware of the entire game being played around us.
The Million-Dollar Sentence: Some of the best advice I've ever received
A few years ago, I got introduced to a senior person at a company very similar to IWT — except they were earning $40m/year. I was curious to learn what insights they'd had along the way. (I outline this very principle in The Best $20 You'll Ever Spend.)
"Ramit," this woman told me, "your tactics are great, but over time, they'll become commodities. But when you can connect with people's psychological and emotional barriers, you can massively help them."
My initial reaction was denial: "You don't understand…my tactics are REALLY GOOD." But a few days after that call, I started to understand.
Now, years later, I think about that simple sentence almost every week. If you've been reading my site for years, you've seen the changes over time — I've stuck by my idea of providing you the best tactics to earn more, save more, and get an edge in life, but I've also started to rail against "information seekers" who simply want yet another tactic…without ever delving into their own psychological barriers.
In fact, I could give you the best tactics in the world, and if you have psychological barriers, they simply won't matter. There are infinite numbers of worthless bloggers who will give you "Top 10" lists…but we already KNOW we should be spending less than we earn. We "know" we should be networking. We "know" we should be working out.
Yet we don't. Why?
The subtle answer to this question is why I've been able to get results for IWT readers like this — and why most "experts" continue writing yet another worthless piece on 5 ways to save on groceries — or useless career advice.
And it's precisely what we're going to dig into today — a look behind the veil — in the area that has been the single-most influential area of my life.
* * *
What we WANT vs. what we NEED
I get a lot of people emailing, wondering how I grew my blog or monetized or got on TV. Or sometimes they just want to know about themselves, like how they can interview better or find their passion.
What they WANT is a shiny tactic — like the actual email scripts I used to reach out to people. Losers love tactics.
What they NEED is to understand the strategy behind it.
I realised that the sites that provide only tactics quickly become a morass of useless, pageview-generating "Top 10" lists desperately consumed by shiny tactic-seeking losers.
Yet sites that provide "strategic advice" are often so high-level that they're not actionable.
I want to give you both, but show you how they work together. Earlier this week, I gave you the actual email scripts you can use to meet extremely busy people.
Today, let's go deeper. Let's examine the strategy and psychology of building a great network — a group of people who WANT to help you. A group of people who keep an eye out for jobs and can actually get you hired at jobs that aren't even public yet. We can ALL have friends and business relationships like this — and none of it involves being sleazy, slimy, or scammy.
Let me show you how.
How To Separate Yourself from Scammy Networkers
Michael Ellsberg at Forbes just wrote a long piece on building relationships and the importance of single-author blogs. He quoted me at length:
"I asked Ramit the Million Dollar Question: let's say you've identified this Holy Grail blogger. How do you get on his or her radar?
"Here's the worst way. The worst way is to send one email with a ton of content saying, 'Hey, I would love for you to review my product. I think it's great. I think your readers would really love it' and then it's just a bunch of gibberish markety stuff.
"Guess what? Any big blogger gets at least 50 of those a week. I wish we could answer all of them, but they just get deleted. The more effective way is to take a long-term approach. The real misfortune is that nobody else does it. So people will nod and say, 'Yeah, I should really do that,' and then they don't.
"You want to focus on the idea, 'I'm going to add value to this person over time.' The first thing you could do is leave some thoughtful comments on their blog. Next, you could send them some email saying, 'Hey, that was really great, but I thought you may have missed this one point. Here's an interesting article with a different perspective on it.' If you thought it through and did some research, the author will think, 'Wow, thanks very much!' and you are not asking for anything.
"All of a sudden now you've differentiated yourself first by adding value. You are not going directly for the kill. Eventually, you could reach out and say, 'Hey, these are a couple of things I noticed you're doing that I think that I could help with. I'd love to connect you to this person, etc.' Then eventually, you can ask, 'If it's OK, I just want to ask you for about 60 seconds,' and ask them about your thing and say, 'Do you have any advice?' and 'Do you think maybe this might be interesting to your audience?'
"No pressure. One mistake people make is they often have a 'one shot and done' attitude about this: 'If I don't get my pitch in, and they don't like it, it's over.' Wrong. It's really about building a relationship over the long-term. Sounds like a lot of work? Good! Because 99% of people will not do that. That's why they will send one email, it will be rejected and they'll complain that, 'Oh this blogger's not nice,' or 'Oh, it's too hard to get media. If only I had connections.' The point is to reach those people, it's not about luck or magic, it's about being really thoughtful and systematic about how you can help them first."
Now let's deconstruct what's going on there.
The 5 Barriers to Becoming a Master Connector
Networking is one of those things we nod, shrug, and say, "Yeah, I need to figure that out." But we don't:
Ironically, in our search for tactics, we become less and less likely to take action. We say things like, "I don't know where to begin." Two days ago, I gave you scripts and powerful tactics to start meeting busy people so you could learn from their expertise and shortcut your learning cycle by months or years. How many of you actually did it?
Instead, we constantly search for more and more tactics. And we make assumptions that people who network are sleazy, etc. (To see what I mean, go check out what the young/engineering guys at Hacker News say about my friend Tim Ferriss. The bitterness is palpable, because it's easy to be sceptical on the internet.)
All of these are assumptions, but we never test them. Some of my really good friends, like Tim, are consummate networkers, but if you met them in person, you'd just like them because they're cool and fun.
It turns out that we have deep psychological barriers around networking. And because it is such an invisible art — with no clear step-by-step formula — it's easy to let the barriers overwhelm us.
Watch this video where I deconstruct these very psychological barriers:
Based on our research of 20,000+ people, here are some of the top psychological barriers around networking. Remember, without understanding your own barriers, no tactic matters.
- "It's not about WHAT you know, it's about WHO you know." This phrase has been bitterly spit out by countless unemployed Brooklyn hipsters who make me want to take their plaid Keffiyehs and shove them…never mind. You know what? They're right! The more you progress in your career, the more important relationships are — sometimes even more than your technical skills. So you can either (1) Whine about the way the world is constructed and complain about the President/tax policy/geo-political affairs and why you don't have the right connections, or (2) Learn the skills of meeting the right people, helping them, and learn the invisible game being played around you.
- "I'm not the kind of person who could network. I hate selling myself." The invisible script here is "only naturals know how to network" and "I'm not that kind of person." Wrong, wrong, wrong. When you meet people who have learned to build long-term relationships, you realise how much practice they've put into it. There's a secondary invisible script here: People who use this phrase typically don't have any positive role models as examples of ethical networkers. It's not sleazy or slimy. In fact, it's the height of serving other people — like how my friend got $20,000 of my time.
- "I wouldn't know what to say." Of course you wouldn't — you haven't done this before. I look back at some of my early emails to meet people and they were just awful. But you study the greats, you practice, and you get better. If you ever heard a kid saying, "But I don't know how to ride a bike!" you would laugh, pat him on the head, and shove his arse on that bike. You would not let him use "I don't know how" as a crutch…for the rest of his life. Again, I can't wait to be an Asian parent.
3 Case Studies: Learning Instant Soft Skills
I recently ran a program called "Dream Job Elite," a focused course where I taught a small group of students some of my most inside material on finding Dream Jobs, interviewing, negotiation, and soft skills.
I invited them to New York and spent hours and hours showing them subtle tweaks on how to improve their storytelling, persuasive skills, and body language. As much as I wish I could help everyone one on one, this was an elite, $12,000-a-head program designed to demonstrate that all of us can make rapid gains using subtle soft skills.
I want to show you these examples because they're people just like you — who made massive gains in their ability to connect with people.
"I used to think I was really good at networking, but this…showed me what a novice I was…"
"I used to think I was really good at networking, but this module showed me what a novice I was.
I knew that important people were always busy, but I never took the time to think through what they were feeling on their end and how to impress them by making their lives easier.
I've reached out to 5 people who are either directly related or indirectly related to my first choice and second choice dream jobs. I used the methods in module 4 to craft emails that were brief but effective with specific times so it makes it easier to say yes… I'm waiting to hear back from three and the other two already responded but we're working through scheduling conflicts. I should be able to have coffee with them sometime around Thanksgiving."
– "Jessica," Dream Job Elite graduate
"Of the 5 e-mails, I got 4 responses. 3 offered to respond…"
"I really think this [course] gives more structure and guidance to how I approach networking.
The multi-touch strategy is a great way to keep in touch without just taking and never giving back. It is also an easier way to follow up after the initial meeting, which I've always had trouble with, and gives me guideposts on what I should be doing after the initial meeting.
I reached out to 5 people this week. All were cold e-mails to people I do not have connections with. Of the 5 e-mails, I got 4 responses. 3 offered to respond to questions and communicate via e-mail."
– "Steve," Dream Job Elite graduate
"I'd honestly never even considered this…"
"[I learned] very specifically what my goals should be from these initial meetings with experts on my potential dream jobs. Prior to the lesson, I understood the general idea that I should be getting in touch with experts on particular job titles, but now I know exactly what my I'm after: 1) "Would I enjoy this job?" 2) "Can I get this job and how to best do so?"
[I learned] that acting on an expert's advice is a way to add value back to them. (I'd honestly never even considered this). I've always gotten hung up on how to give value back to an expert who's helped me. This always turns in to a barrier for me and I tend to not follow up for a long time. And I always assumed their advice was for me to simply take back and execute quietly on my own. So, it's great to understand that top performers really do like seeing their advice put into practice and knowing that a new contact is succeeding.
Have reached out to 6 UI Designers at Apple in total so far RESULTS: 50% response rate = 1 IM chat, 1 email with my questions answered, 1 offer to answer my questions on Quora."
– "Lance," Dream Job Elite graduate
By the way — I have the actual before & after videos, showing the actual teardowns and techniques employed. You'll be astonished when you see them. And I'll give some of you access, soon.
How can you apply this TODAY?
I love pointing out that there are always hundreds more comments on the posts where people can just jot down something they feel vs. posts where I ask them to do something concrete. It's a classic example of using small barriers to avoid kooks.
You saw this earlier this week, when people spent tons of time writing email scripts…but how many of you actually emailed people and set up a coffee meeting?
Today, I challenge you to try putting this into practice.
To Do Today
- Leave a comment: Identify 3 barriers you have about networking (e.g., "I always thought that networking meant ____ but recently, I realised that it means _____. But I'm still stuck at _____.")
- Tell me 1 specific thing you will do by MONDAY — 3 days from now — to start on the path to meeting interesting people. Do not say something vague like "I'm really gonna try hard to think about who I should meet," because if you do I will kill you. BE SPECIFIC.
I will be doing a live webcast covering how to interview — the exact phrases, body language, and answers to master interviewing. This will be next Monday, 1/23 at 9pm EST. "Waaa Ramit, I live in Antarctica, can u pls record it?" No recordings, no whining. If you can make it, I'm thrilled to show you inside techniques you've never seen.

GWT - The right tool for Java men!
That said, there are now hundreds of JavaScript Libraries, Ajax Frameworks and RIA based on virtual machines (Adobe Flash/Flex/Air, Microsoft Silverlight/.Net and Sun JavaFX).
Which one will be the good one considering the tool itself, our team composition, the Sakai's architecture and our future development needs?
After some exploration, we decided to go with GWT (Google Web Toolkit) for our OpenSyllabus project in Montréal. A main argument was that our team is essentially composed of Java developers with little knowledge of JavaScript.
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) represents nothing less than a completely original ("revolutionary!") approach to web development.
Only pay for what you use!
The GWT Cross-Compiler prunes unused classes, methods and attributes, from your code. In addition, the Cross-compiler compresses the JS naming and obsfuscates your code to the shortest possible length.
In fact, GWT can generate faster JavaScript than you can write by hand!
GWT is all Java
Only one language : JAVA
With GWT, Google bets on the 6 milions Java developers community out of here. Furthermore, Sakai is based on a great stack of Java technologies.
GWT allows rapid development and debugging with common Java IDEs as Eclipse. Development time efficiency is our favorite advantages of GWT.
The built-in library of UI components will look very familiar to Java developers, particularly those having SWING experience. SWING developers just have to learn a different API although, many of the classes have the same names and the same methods than in SWING. It's easy for Java developers to learn GWT and with only a little learning curve.
In the ideal world, the Java developer would never have to write JavaScript code.
This is the fulfilled promise of GWT...
Open Source and Community Initiative
Free and well documented, GWT is not only a Google thing, since its an Open Source initiative under a friendly Apache 2.0 license.
The GWT community exists and well alive...with a developer forum of over 13 000 members, many third party development tools and libraries including an amazing visual editor (GWT Designer) and many books.
GWT is improving quickly. For example, accessibility support is a main addition to the version 1.5 now in Release Candidate 2.
This section will describe an Hello World GWT application which will be fully integrated within the Sakai's platform.

You don't have to love a movie to rewatch it obsessively. In fact, hate-watching may be the most compulsive reason for endless rewatches. Sometimes you don't fully appreciate a film's awfulness until the sixth (or 30th viewing). Which science fiction or fantasy film do you hate, but rewatch over and over?
Please include a picture, clip or poster for your most hated-and-rewatched film. And please let us know the name, why you hate it, and why you can't stop watching it.
Top image: Star Trek V, "Not in front of the Klingons." Shatner's directorial debut and a truly terrible moment in movie history — and yet, if you love Star Trek enough, it's kind of a quintessentially Star Trek experience, full of philosophy, hammy acting and cute quips.

For the week ending 13 February 2010 / 28 Shevat 5770
Recipe for a Happy Marriage
Couples in the Orthodox community have a better chance of enjoying a happy marriage than those in the general community.
This is the conclusion of a recent survey conducted by the Aleinu Family Resource Center in California.
"Very good" or "excellent" was what 72 percent of Orthodox men said to surveyors about their marriage, and 74 percent of Orthodox women echoed this response. By comparison 62.9 percent of men and 59.5 percent of women in the general population reported that their marriages are happy.
Commenting on these findings, one expert suggested that the success of Orthodox marriages was due to a shared vision of life, the observance of Jewish purity laws, and a more realistic expectation of marriage.

Due to restrictions in the App Store against apps that duplicate the features of Apple's built-in Apps, Google hasn't been allowed to offer up a Gmail app. So instead, they've made the mobile version of Gmail behave as much like an App as they could.
Today, Gmail for Mobile has recieved some nice updates for people who'd like to use it instead of their built-in Mail apps. For one, you can now pull down on your inbox in order to refresh it, just like, say, the Twitter app. It's also updated all of the icons to look snappy on the Retina Display, and some new sliding transitions add to the slickness.
Of course, because it's not a real app you won't get notified when you get a new email. That may be a dealbreaker, but this is still a pretty great alternative to the standard Mail App.

Mobility is radically changing the learning and teaching environment. Institutions need the ability to provide mobile access to learning materials and securely share student records and business documents.
Schools can benefit from mobile devices in a number of ways; from providing a cost-effective, sustainable way to access and share files, to increasing student engagement and enhancing the learning experience through increased collaboration. However, educational institutions must still be mindful of security concerns and regulatory requirements when accessing confidential student information on mobile devices.
Acronis Cyber Files enables educational institutions to securely access, sync and share content while maintaining control over security and compliance. Content can be accessed from file servers, NAS, SharePoint, and personal devices, and shared with students, teachers and administrators. Acronis Cyber Files empowers IT to control the level of security needed and promote end user productivity anywhere, anytime, from any device – desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

Tomorrow, WABA Board Member Jim Titus will join with other Maryland cyclists, pedestrians, and advocates testifying in support of HB 363, which would fill a gap in Maryland's criminal law that currently operates to allow drivers who kill cyclists to receive little or no punishment. In short, the bill creates a misdemeanor for causing the death of another while operating a vehicle in a criminally negligent manner.
Maryland residents: Please take a moment to sign the League of American Bicyclists' petition in support of HB 363.
Below is a preliminary draft of Mr. Titus's remarks to be delivered tomorrow on behalf of WABA.

What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is when one partner in an intimate relationship abuses the other.
The abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional or a combination of all three. Violence usually is expressed through different aggressive acts, like beatings and forced sexual activity; severe acts like throwing, shoving and slapping; humiliating and putting down the victim.
Women are most commonly the victims of the domestic violence of their male partners. Moreover, the children of these women often witness the domestic violence. Studies show that 3-4 million children between the ages of 3-17 are at risk of exposure to domestic violence each year.
The Effects of Domestic Violence on Children
Witnessing can mean SEEING actual incidents of physical and/or sexual abuse. It can mean HEARING threats or fighting noises from another room. Children may also OBSERVE the aftermath of physical abuse such as blood, bruises, tears, torn clothing and broken items. Finally, children may be AWARE of the tension in the home such as their mother's fearfulness when the abuser's car pulls into the driveway.
Consequences of Children Witnessing Domestic Violence

Huzur delivered his Friday Sermon on the subject of the Divine attribute of Al Lateef (the Incomprehensible, the Knower of all subtleties, the Benignant).
Huzur said according to the lexicon Lateef is a kind and gracious being, it is one of the Divine attributes and as such it connotes One Who is Benevolent to His creation as well as One Who is Aware of all subtle and incomprehensible matters. According to various commentators Al Lateef is One Who illumines hearts, Who makes arrangements for physical and spiritual nourishment and Who offers His friendship to His servants at times of tribulation. Also, One Who is most Benignant in matters of accountability, Who acknowledges good but covers weakness, Who accepts small sacrifices and recompenses them with great reward, makes good the matters for one whose affairs are troubled and One Who understands the subtleties of matters.
In verse 104 of Surah Al An'am Allah the Exalted states: 'Eyes cannot reach Him but He reaches the eyes. And He is the Incomprehensible, the All-Aware.' (6:104). Elucidating this verse the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that sight, intellect and consciousness cannot reach God – it is impossible to try and see Him. He is Al Lateef, He is Unseen, indeed Whoever He reaches He illumines that person to such an extent that the person speaks for Him and this blessing is mostly granted to the Prophets of God and was given above all to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). However, those around him who lacked insight were deprived of benefitting from his beneficence. Huzur said one does not require worldly astuteness, education or status to witness the light of God. Rather, God Who is the Knower of all subtleties and is All-Aware as to who are those who truly look for His light and have a real longing to seek Him. He makes arrangements that people who thus seek Him see the light of the Prophets. Huzur said if one's longing is sincere then by virtue of His attributes God Himself provides guidance for His servant. His light is manifested through His Prophets as they spread the light of Unity of God all around them. Among all the Prophets of God the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) disseminated this light the most for it was him who had the most perfect perception of God and it was he who was completely imbued in the colours of God. In the current age, because of his perfect and complete devotion and subservience to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) God granted this light to the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).
Huzur said today the Word of God fulfils those who purify their hearts and wish to seek God in the true sense and accept the Imam of the age. Such people are then enabled to witness to God's manifestations every day. Huzur said indeed in this age it is the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) alone, who, by virtue of his subservience to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), can lead one to the Unity of God. Expounding the aforementioned verse he said that the Being of God is Incomprehensible and no one can discover Him through intellect. One may realise the reality of the Unity of God only after one has abandoned all false deities; external and internal. Such are the obstacles that impede one in reaching God. However, God is Al Lateef and also All-Aware and His light enters pure hearts. He knows what is in the inner recesses of hearts, therefore God's light will not reach a heart that is filled with false deities.
Huzur cited verse 101 of Surah Yusuf: 'And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they all fell down prostrate before God for him. And he said, 'O my father, this is the fulfilment of my dream of old. My Lord has made it true. And He bestowed a favour upon me when He took me out of the prison and brought you from the desert after Satan had stirred up discord between me and my brethren. Surely, my Lord is Benignant to whomsoever He pleases; for He is the All-Knowing, the Wise.' (12:101) and explained that here Hadhrat Yusuf (peace be on him) is mentioning God's favours by virtue of His attribute of Al Lateef (the Benignant) and is recalling how God was his Friend while his brothers conspired against him and is acknowledging that at the time he has worldly status, again by virtue of God's attribute of Al Lateef in that He has rewarded him as well as his father immensely for their sacrifice. Huzur said God is the Friend of His true servants in all trials and tribulations, He enabled Hadhrat Yusuf (peace be on him) and his father to remain steadfast and as they were both dear to God and were granted His nearness, the other brothers were also able to reform themselves. Here, Huzur said the subject-matter that un-folds is that through prayer the opportunity to reform others arises and the closer the person who prays for another's reformation the more it is accepted. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) ever prayed for his ummah, even when people of some towns persecuted him, he prayed for them, hoping for their reformation. Huzur said we too need to pray for the Muslim ummah today so that God may purify their hearts and enable them to accept the truth.
Huzur cited verse 64 of Surah Al Hajj: 'Hast thou not seen that Allah sends down water from the sky and the earth becomes green? Allah is indeed the Knower of subtleties, the All-Aware.' (22:64) and explained that here God states that by virtue of His attribute of Al Lateef it must be remembered that life originates with water and in order to attain spiritual life one needs to focus on the Unity of God Who possesses all powers. The metaphor of water from the sky connotes that just as rainfall makes the earth and the soil verdant similarly when the spiritual water comes down it facilitates the spiritual development of people. Huzur said physical rainfall falls on all land but this does not result in rocks and deserts to bloom. Similarly the spiritual water only benefits those who are pure and those who have a glimmer of goodness in them. Huzur said this sheds light on the fact that water is a sign of life and when it falls on the earth, the soil flourishes and as a result the living creatures also benefit. However, rainfall does not result in rocky surfaces and deserts to bloom, although the living creatures that inhabit the area benefit from the rainfall. Spiritual water enables pure hearts to develop and while pure hearts bear fruits due to such water those opposing them also have worldly benefits from spiritual water. The material benefit to stone-hearted people is akin to the current situation wherever our Community is progressing the opponents are trying to reap political and financial benefit. They have had material advantage from the advent of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace).
Huzur said God sends spiritual water when there are signs of a near-death state in people. At a time of intense spiritual darkness He sent the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) with the perfect religion and Shariah through which the earth flourished. Later in accordance with his prophecy and after a thousand years of darkness that followed, God sent his true and ardent devotee so that he may revive the faith and may take the light to those hearts who had a true and sincere longing to seek the light. Indeed the Knower of all subtleties God knows who is it that seeks Him.
Huzur said Allah states in verse 20 of Surah Al Shura: 'Allah is exquisitely kind to His servants. He provides for whom He pleases. And He is the Powerful, the Mighty.' (42:20) and said that in the aforementioned Surah Al An'am verse God stated that it is He Who reaches the eyes [of people] and had stated in the aforementioned Surah Al Hajj verse that He sends spiritual water and here He states that He is exquisitely kind to His servants and provides all manner of provisions and only those truly benefit from this who, in conjunction with seeking material provisions also seek spiritual provisions. Covering the faults and failings of His servants, forgiving their errors He enables those who seek the spiritual water to recognise His light. By citing His attribute of being Powerful in the verse above, attention is drawn that He also metes justice and that the ultimate triumph is His and those whom He sends and worldly opposition can never extinguish this light. Huzur said this is one of God's many decrees and it is inevitable. The stability of the world is in trying to seek beneficence from the Divine attribute of Al Lateef and not be deprived of this blessing.
Huzur said currently the general situation in Pakistan is very bad, so prayers should be made for that. In the eyes of the world, Huzur said, it is, as if most of the terrorism is from Pakistan. The news coverage informs us that there is indeed great disorder in the country. For Pakistani Ahmadis the situation is twice as bad and they are suffering due to this. Whenever, wherever they have an opportunity they are harming Ahmadis. Everyone is aware of the case of the four youngsters who were arrested on false charges. No effort to secure a bail for them has come to fruition yet. Many others are also imprisoned. In addition many treacherous conspiracies are hatched against us – at times with the involvement of the government. At an event at the Badshahi Mosque [Lahore] recently a federal minister was present when extremely unseemly words were used for the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). The government seems to have joined the mullah against the Ahmadis and has thus created a very perilous situation. Therefore, Huzur said, a lot of prayers should be offered for the protection of the life and property of each Pakistani Ahmadi from all evil. Pakistani Ahmadis have always prayed, they should continue to do so and Ahmadis all over the world should also pray for them. Similarly there are surges of persecution in India and in Indonesia. Currently elections are being held in these countries. Prayers should be made for fair and just governments to come to power. Huzur said Ahmadis in Kazakhstan are also being harassed by governmental organisations; prayers are needed for them as well.
Huzur prayed that may God bestow each Ahmadi all over the world with His grace and may they all receive the beneficence of the attribute of Al Lateef. Ahmadis should pray, may Allah keep everyone protected.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

2.english- let your imagination take you wherever it goes. What do you think represents English to the world? The non-English speaking world that is. But....Preferably something that doesn't present the image of American missile launches, or anything equally violent, or negative like cultural imperialism.
3. It should look fun, learning English IS fun.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has inked a deal with Sony to create Pottermore, a strange hybrid between a website, a game, an online store and an encyclopaedia (Potterpedia?).
While there's been recent speculation that the partnership between the two would result in an MMO, that's clearly not the case, Pottermore instead serving as a portal of sorts for the fantasy universe where fans can read more of the series' backstory and buy digital copies of the books.
There will be some game-related stuff, like the ability to join Hogwarts, "visit Diagon Alley, get sorted into a house, and cast spells and mix potions to help your house compete for the House Cup", but really, the focus here is on selling books and keeping the licensing money pouring in now the series is finished.
Pottermore will be web-based, with no mention made of Sony's dedicated gaming platforms.

Opinions on a video made by students at Eastside High School have varied in the month since the video was produced.
Opinions on a video made by students at Eastside High School have varied in the month since the video was produced.
Administrators and school officials have dismissed the nearly 15-minute movie, which features students speaking candidly about their feelings on Eastside, as a misrepresentation of the culture at the high school. The video also includes footage of campus fights and classroom disruptions.
Some students have agreed that the reaction has been overblown but that the footage is not too far from reality.
Some community leaders say that, regardless, the controversy merits a community-wide discussion on how to best serve all the students of Eastside High.
Superintendent Dan Boyd said the video doesn't represent Eastside or the school district at large. He compared it to a racially charged video that went viral in February of last year in which two Gainesville High School students said derogatory things about black students — a video that he said, like this one, wasn't representative of the school itself.
"I frankly gave it the attention that warranted it: zero," he said of the Eastside video.
Boyd said he suspects that the student who put the video together was the one who had a clear vision for it in mind.
"I doubt the other kids had a clue what was going on," Boyd said. "He encouraged them to do those antics."
That student is Darrin Gillins, who formerly attended the Institute of Culinary Arts. He shot the video before moving away from Alachua County to live with another parent. He posted the video after leaving.
During a segment of the video, Gillins filmed Artavia Hutto, 16, in the back of a chemistry class.
In an expletive-filled rant laced with insults, she complained of the teacher's body odor.
On Friday, she said she was just goofing off in class for the camera while not knowing Gillins would post it on the Internet.
"I can't really blame him, because I let him record me," she said.
Hutto said she later apologized to the principal and to her chemistry teacher, saying Friday that she was "ignorant."
A number of students, including Hutto, were suspended for involvement in the video, but it is not clear for how long and on what specific grounds the suspensions were handed out.
School officials have cited privacy of student records in declining to comment on any discipline that has resulted from the video. Other students involved did not wish to speak to The Sun.
Karen McCann, president of the Alachua County Education Association, said she sympathized with the teachers shown struggling with disruptive students in the video.
"You saw two teachers trying very hard to get the attention of the class, and (the students) were being very disrespectful," she said.
She added that she felt the video is not indicative of everyday life at Eastside, though she said some elements that may shock those who don't work with young people didn't surprise her.
"What campus anywhere in the United States has never had a fight on campus?" she said.
Hutto echoed some of McCann's sentiments.
"It was kind of disrespectful," Hutto said. "In my opinion, I don't think it's as bad as everyone is trying to make it out to be."
Amid the community buzz about the video, the African American Accountability Alliance took notice. The organization announced a March 4 community forum, scheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Alachua County Health Department, to discuss the movie.
Juliun Kinsey, chair of the 4As education committee, said regardless of whether a larger cultural issue is revealed by the video or whether it deals only with a small group of students acting out, it still merits a community dialogue.
"What about that small fraction of students? Do we just neglect them? Do we not support them the way we support the students in the (International Baccalaureate) program?" Kinsey asked. "Do we just say, 'Hey, that's just a lost bunch?' "

Ortigueira cliffs
You'll find all the fun and the great atmosphere you want from an outdoor music festival at the Ortigueira Celtic Festival in Spain. You can get an idea of the size of the event by the fact that it usually attracts almost 100,000 people! These are a fantastic four days for a variety of reasons. First, because of the quality of the concerts, which are free and take place beside the sea. Second, because is has a spectacular free camping area. This is an immense pine forest next to the unspoilt beach of Morouzos, perfectly equipped for the occasion, with toilets and showers, illumination at night, areas for eating and cooking, parking, buses to the village… And the best thing is that the party doesn't stop when the lights come up. There are also improvised concerts and performances in the streets. At night, the high spirits continue until dawn, and at the campsite there's always time to make friends, particularly in the specially installed tent for music, food and drink.

Kate Sears
Buddha Stir-Fry
If tofu's texture isn't your thing, be sure to squeeze out any excess water first. And try briefly marinating and pan searing or frying the cubes of tofu for crispier edges.
Joyce Oudkerk Pool
Mushroom and Asparagus Fettuccine
Chock-full of fresh herbs and veggies, this pasta dish was made for summer. Toasted pine nuts add an unexpected, yet welcome, crunch.
Spaghetti Squash with Balsamic Beans

Gary Crider of Hendersonville says his simple plan to focus on the Affordable Care Act polling with higher acceptability rather than Obamacare, which raises emotion and noise levels, failed.
Gary Crider of Hendersonville says his simple plan to focus on the Affordable Care Act polling with higher acceptability rather than Obamacare, which raises emotion and noise levels, failed. "John Kyran's statement that the problem with Obamacare is it is a flawed scheme by big government taking more of the taxpayers' money and unable to deliver on its promises is emotional noise lacking factual support, making Affordable Care Act improvement discussions impossible," responds Mr. Crider. "The Affordable Care Act won't be fully implemented until 2014, but in the first two years of health care reform, 2.5 million people under age 26 have coverage under parent policies, more than 59,000 people with pre-existing conditions are covered, 85 million received free critical preventive services in 2011 alone, Medicare prescription drug — donut hole — savings amount to $2.1 billion for 4 million citizens, and a side benefit is the halting $4.1 billion in fraudulent Medicare claims. The Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation reported on May 14: "Taking coverage provisions and other provisions together, CBO and JCT estimated that the ACA will reduce deficits over the next 10 years and in the subsequent decade." Perhaps Mr. Kyran's concern for government waste should be focused on recovering the $24 billion lost during the GOP's shutdown to defund Obamacare, the ACA."
'WONDER WHY?': Robert Haught of Hendersonville wasn't amused by Doug Freeman's thoughts on assault weapons: "The Second Amendment has been around a long time, and we never used to have any problems understanding what it said nor did it take an 'absolutist (had to look that one up) interpretation' to do so. But his solution is to pass a law to reduce gun violence in the country. Wow! Wonder why nobody else has come up with such a solution?"
'MY, LANDS, NO': All the passengers were ready for takeoff, but the plane just sat there. They began to grumble about another delay. Finally, the intercom clicked on: "This is your pilot speaking. There's a warning light for the thermal expander valve on the No. 2 engine, and I refuse to fly until it's replaced. Please return to the terminal waiting room." All the passengers filed off the plane, however, 10 minutes later they were told they could return to their seats. The flight was ready for takeoff. As a flight attendant walked by, a passenger asked, "Did they get a new thermal expander valve already?" "My, lands, no, there isn't one of those thingamajigs within a thousand miles," she said. "They fixed the old one?" the passenger asked. "No," said the attendant, "they got us a new pilot."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The Hendersonville Swing Band will play a concert Nov. 9 to benefit the Civitan Club of Hendersonville. The band will play big band favorites of the '30s and '40s, including a salute to our nation's armed forces in honor of Veterans Day. The concert will be held in the Hendersonville High School auditorium and will begin at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for a $10 donation to Civitan and may be obtained from the Henderson County Visitors Center or any Civitan Club member. Tickets also will be available at the door. The proceeds from the concert will be used to fund scholarships for graduating Henderson County high school seniors and will also provide financial support to local agencies and events such as Special Olympics. u Opportunity House is offering a Women's Pistol Shooting Class for beginner women shooters, and it covers safety, pistol operation and marksmanship. Guns and ammunition are available for an additional fee. There is a limit of six students per class, which will be held Nov. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Opportunity House, and Nov. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Rex's Indoor Range. The cost is $60.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will make his first public speech since the 2012 election at a noteworthy gathering of conservatives next month.
Romney plans to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on March 15, offering his first extended remarks about national affairs and the conservative movement since losing the November election to President Barack Obama.
The former Massachusetts governor has maintained a low profile since the election, spending time at his Southern California home and rarely venturing into Washington fights over taxes, spending and Cabinet nominees. He met with supporters in Washington after the election and joined Obama for lunch at the White House but has yet to offer a public critique of Obama's second term or advice on a way forward for Republicans.
Romney's speech will come as many Republicans offer prescriptions for the party's disappointing 2012 election and look to a new generation of leaders to compete with Democrats. A Romney adviser said the CPAC speech would give Romney an opportunity to express his appreciation to friends and supporters of his campaign.
Romney has a long history at the conference, which draws some of the leading voices in the Republican party every year. He has won several CPAC straw polls and announced he was ending his 2008 presidential campaign at the conference.
Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, said they were looking forward to hearing Romney's views on the current state of affairs in the nation and around the world and "the future of the conservative movement."
Other speakers at the March 14-16 conference include: Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Romney's speech was first reported by the National Review.

The Chicago Bears GM should be praying that Brian Griese is good. Because if Griese isn't, the correct move to finally bench Rex Grossman is a move that came too late.
Wonder if Jerry Angelo is on his knees. The Chicago Bears GM should be praying that Brian Griese is good. Because if Griese isn't, the correct move to finally bench Rex Grossman is a move that came too late. NFL.com, the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times, all citing anonymous sources, reported on their Web sites Tuesday what everyone had assumed the day before when coach Lovie Smith refused to utter his infamous refrain: "Rex is our quarterback." Grossman deserved his benching as much for being delusional, saying he and the Bears' No. 30-rated offense was "so close" to being good, as for his 45.2 passer rating. But was he any more delusional than Angelo? Angelo came to Chicago from Tampa Bay, where the Bucs built a defense led by Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks and John Lynch that was even more dominant than Brian Urlachers' Bears. And he saw that defense get undermined every year by Trent Dilfer and Shaun King, supposed "quarterbacks of the future" who instead played a lot like Grossman. Then he saw the Bucs plug in a Griese-like Brad Johnson and win the Super Bowl. So why, for four years, has it been Grossman or bust for the Bears? Skeptics scoff at Griese's talents, saying he has never won a playoff game. Well, neither did Dick Butkus or Gale Sayers. Griese has some credentials. The last time the 10-year veteran started, he led Tampa Bay to a 5-1 start in 2005. The year before he had a 97.5 passer rating. He led the league with a 102.9 rating in 2000 when he went to the Pro Bowl with Denver. He should have played last year. Maybe in the Arizona game, when Rex had six turnovers. If not then, during the 31-13 loss to winless Miami. If not then, surely in Grossman's back-to-back debacles against New England and Minnesota. If Grossman had been benched then, maybe the Bears would have won the Super Bowl last year. After all, they trailed the Colts by only five points after three quarters despite only 55 passing yards at the time. And if Griese hadn't been an improvement, the Bears wouldn't be guessing if he could help now. Instead, they might have made a move on an unusually large stockpile of available pedigreed quarterbacks. Former Pro Bowlers Jeff Garcia and Daunte Culpepper were free agents. So were former No. 1 draft picks David Carr and Byron Leftwich. Cleveland was looking to trade Derek Anderson, who has passed for 760 yards and seven touchdowns in 2 1/2 games. Angelo should have known Grossman wouldn't blossom into a Pro Bowler over night. History says Rex wasn't ever going to improve. I looked last year at every current NFL starting quarterback and found that all of them had found their own level after four pro seasons, even if they had rarely started during that span. Every quarterback had at least one season in his first four with a passer rating within a point of his career average. All but two had seasons higher than their career average. Remember the young Brett Favre who had to be tamed? Well, his 85.3 rating as a first-year starter is the same as his career rating of 85.2. Peyton Manning's third-year average of 94.7 mirrors his career average of 94.6. Rex wasn't going to improve with more starts. He would get worse. His best year was his rookie season with a 74.8 rating. He was an MVP candidate after five starts last year with a 100.8 rating. He freefell to 61.4 the rest of the year. His rating in 14 games since that brief, glorious start is 57.9. No Bears quarterback has been that bad for that long since Vince Evans in 1981. Kyle Orton, though, was close in 2005 (59.7). Orton is the Bears' only other option if Griese doesn't pan out. Which is why Angelo needs to pray.

For monitoring the flow of liquid and gaseous media
Explosion-protected versions
The model FWS flow monitors are used for the display and monitoring of the flow of liquid and gaseous media, e.g. in cooling systems and cooling circuits of welding machinery, laser and piping systems, dosing systems, pumps, compressors, hydraulic systems, high-pressure plants and many more.
The flow monitors operate in accordance with the float-body measuring principle. A float body is guided within a cylindrical slotted nozzle or in a cylindrical measuring tube. A reed contact is mounted outside of the flow circuit.
The reed contact is cast into a continuously adjustable case (switch case) and thus is protected from external influences.
The flowing medium moves the float body in the direction of the flow. When the float body, with its integrated magnet, reaches the position of the reed switch, this closes. When the flow rate rises, the float body moves further in the direction of the flow, maximally until it reaches a stop. This stop prevents the float body from being driven beyond the switching range of the reed switch (bistable characteristic).

Medicine Ball—Use It and Lose It!
Trying to lose a few extra pounds? Or maybe tighten up that body a little more? Then it's time to get a medicine ball and use that body to help lose the jiggle. The use of a medicine ball helps incorporate balance along with exercise moves, adding to the difficulty—but working those muscles harder to help achieve a tighter, leaner body. Here are some moves that concentrate on the upper body and the ab
Sit on the floor, bend your knees and place your feet up against the wall. (If you have a partner, sit facing each other and place the bottom of your feet against each other—see image.) Keeping your abdominals tight, take the medicine ball and bounce off the wall above your feet, and catch the ball as it returns. (Or throw to partner and partner returns throw immediately.) It may take some time to master the balance and the bounce/catch, but this is what makes these moves work! Repeat the bounce/catch 12 times while maintaining your position. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat. Work your way up to three sets of 12 to 15 bounce/catch reps.
Tip: This move is great for core strength and tight, defined abs.
Medicine Ball Push Up
Get into a modified push up position, and balance yourself using the medicine ball. Keeping your abdominals tight and back straight, bend your elbows outward and lower yourself down to touch the medicine ball. Straighten back up to starting position. Perform 10 to 12 reps, depending on fitness level. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat. Work up to three sets.
Tip: This move concentrates on the chest, triceps and shoulders, and strengthens core.
Trunk Twist with Medicine Ball
Sit on the floor with knees bent and slightly lifted off floor. With medicine ball in both hands, lean back and keep abdominals tight. Twist with ball to left side and then to the right side. Repeat twist to each side for 12 to 15 reps, depending on fitness level. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat. Work up to three sets.
Tip: This move works all areas of the abdominals, while also hitting the shoulders and back.
In order to avoid risk of injury, please seek advice directly from your physician, especially if you have existing medical issues, before beginning any exercise or nutritional program. Also, be sure to stretch after exercise to avoid muscle and joint tightness.

CHICAGO – Chicago's Soldier Field has been good to U.S. national team forward Clint Dempsey over the years.
There's the goal against England on May 28, 2005, and another against Brazil on Sept. 9, 2007. He also started the triumphant CONCACAF Gold Cup final in 2007 against Mexico.
His success there is not only limited to international duty. Dempsey scored in the venue as a member of the New England Revolution back on April 27, 2005, in a 3-0 win over the Chicago Fire. It's been over five years, but he still remembers the celebration.
"The celebration I did then was I went to the fans, tucked my shirt in and 'take a pic,'" Dempsey told MLSsoccer.com on Thursday after U.S. practice.
For Saturday's match at Soldier Field against Poland, Dempsey is listed as a forward on the official match roster. At the 2010 World Cup he fell into the "midfielder" category.
WATCH: Dempsey, Holden discuss Poland match
Leading up to the first match in South Africa, Dempsey was pestered by questions regarding the position that suited him best. He did not shy away from saying he has always wanted to be as close to goal as possible.
His nose for the net is evidenced by his nine goals for English Premier League club Fulham FC last season. The 27-year-old already has netted three times for the Cottagers this season.
Against Poland, which marks Dempsey's first call-up of the 2014 World Cup cycle, the former Revs midfielder looks set to start at forward.
"It's a tough question. Who knows?" Dempsey said of whether the move to forward for the USA is permanent. "Whatever position I can be effective for this team — I don't need to necessarily have a position that's mapped out for me. I enjoy having the freedom to play different roles, and I feel I'm effective in most roles that I play.
"This week, that has been a position I've been playing — withdrawn forward — and maybe you can see me come gameday in that position."

Content about Peace & Justice
IIn this 20th Anniversary year for the WCCM, the peace and justice pages of the web site will be undergoing a new phase and we invite your participation/contribution. Meditatio is bringing a new stage of outreach to the community and we would like to highlight some the fruits of meditation which meditators are bringing to the work of peace and justice in the world through practical works of compassion and prophecy.
When we actually experience our interconnectedness ,first with the divine within , and then with all creation, we can come to a new understanding of our potential, as channels of God's love, to take part in the self healing of the world. As John Main said "We find Christ in our hearts and then we find ourselves in Him, and in Him, in all creation"
Quoting that most wonderful Hindu-Christian Mystic, Mohandas Gandhi , "Peace has to be the path to peace. Violence will never be the path to peace". Jesus said " Love thine enemy! ". And The Compassionate Buddha said that hatred will never put an end to hatred. Only love and nonhatred can stop the violence and greed both in our own hearts and in those of others.
Tablet - November 2011
This year in my role in The World Community for Christian Meditation I have been meeting with our national coordinators in six regions of the globe. We began with South East Asia and the Pacific in January followed by meetings in three European regions. We have just finished the regional meeting with N. America, Mexico, Haiti and the Caribbean countries and I move on now to the last of this series in S. America.There are meetings. And there are meetings.
Offering Christian Meditation in a Way that is Inclusive of those with Addictions and Mental Illness
Collaboratively written by:
Kathy Coyne, Canada
Terry Doyle, UK
Jeff Ewener, Canada
Pat McSherry, Canada
Michele O'Brien. Ireland
Increasingly, addiction recovery programs and mental health counsellors are encouraging people in recovery to try daily meditation as a way to maintain balance and calmness under sometimes chaotic conditions. Christian Meditation offers a meaningful option for Christians who want to meditate in a way that resonates with their own faith tradition.
However, meditation groups are not always well prepared to "welcome the stranger,' especially someone whose life circumstance may be different than theirs. Some of us who run groups for people with mental illness and addictions have come up with a list of tips to help you make your groups a comfortable place for everyone.
Most celebrate November 11th as Veteran's Day, but it is also the feast of St Martin of Tours. This fourth-century bishop is often touted as a patron of warriors, but his actions tell a different story. Two years after his baptism, Martin, a Roman cavalryman, had an epiphany before a battle: "I am a soldier of Christ," he said, "I cannot fight." He was jailed for his objection, even though he volunteered to go to the front lines naked to prove his devotion.
In many periods, this saint's history has been remolded to glorify the soldier's role in the Christian state, most prominently in France during 19th and 20th century Republican campaigns. But this Veteran's Day, Pax Christi USA points to Veterans for Peace and their much closer likeness to the conscientious, unpopular peace witness of St Martin.
' Compassion' is the most frequently occurring word in the Qur'an. Each of its 114 chapters, with the exception of the 9th, begins with the invocation 'In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful…' yet a great deal of the escalating violence and terrorism that we are living with today can be attributed to Muslims. How can we come to terms with this obvious contradiction?
Father Laurence and the WCCM Community join our brothers and sisters in Thailand in praying that the violent civil unrest in their once peaceful country is resolved soon, and without further loss of life. We know that the meditation practice and the mantra will carry the Thai community through this difficult time, and we invite meditators to share their contemplative response to the situation.

Dear Friends,
I thought I would take this example to update you all on what's happening in Thailand.
Firstly, I am fine and safe as I live in a different part of the city, a fair distance from where these clashes are happening. However, the violence is indeed located in the very heart of Bangkok's prime financial and commercial district.
It is strange for someone like me now, having lived nearly my entire life abroad and immersed in international media, always wondering about the violence and devastation I saw on TV in other countries, wondering as to what people were enduring in this or that faraway country. I have seen rocks being thrown in the middle east, explosions in africa and riots in central america. I always said to myself 'how awful'.
