In Doubt We Trust
One of the major hindrances in this practice is doubt, or vicikiccha in Pali. It's a wavering in the face of uncertainty. When uncertainty manifests, instead of just being able to say, 'Oh, this is uncertain', we desperately struggle to try and make it certain. We want to be certain, we want to be sure of the right thing to do.
What is the right solution? 'Where am I at? Can I dare go on to another type of meditation, or should I stay with this type of meditation? Should I concentrate on my nose, or should I concentrate on my heart, or should I concentrate on my belly?' Some monks will tell you to concentrate on the nose, and this is what it tells you to do in the scriptures. Other monks will tell you to concentrate on the heart and say, 'Well, you're so emotionally repressed you need to concentrate on your heart.' Other people will tell you to concentrate on the belly. And you think, 'Well, whom should I believe?'
Now the Buddha didn't praise blindly believing - which I find to be a lovely aspect of his teaching - but that doesn't mean we're meant to disbelieve, either. Disbelief is another form of believing. He said that we should not take a position for or against, based on speculation or even logic; neither should we establish our practices and our life on mere belief or disbelief. He said that only when you've taken something up - when you've investigated it for yourself, tested it and seen it to be true - only then accept it; then, and only then. And this is the Middle Way: that point between belief and disbelief, accepting and rejecting, pushing and pulling.
The place of mindfulness is the place in the middle, being with things as they are. So when it comes to doubt and uncertainty, we have to be mindful of that doubt.
If we're trained without any religious perspective, we tend to identify with our conditioned mind, our conditioned intelligence.
What is doubt? What actually is doubt like, as a condition in the mind? 'The last retreat I did I had such-and-such an experience, and this retreat I thought I'd have the same experience again. Am I doing something wrong, or am I doing it right? Perhaps it should be this way - perhaps it shouldn't be this way ....' We can get caught in doubt.
Well, the fact is that we can know, if we're mindful of the mind, that there's uncertainty in the mind and the mind is wavering, and that we're afraid of uncertainty. When we're not able just to acknowledge uncertainty, and we're afraid of it, this fear makes the mind wobble and tremble.
This is a rampant disease for many who have received a Western education. Because, if we're trained without any religious perspective, we tend to identify with our conditioned mind, our conditioned intelligence. The more often we say, 'I know, Sir', the more points we score, the more praise we get; we really become accustomed to feeling very secure and very good about saying, 'I know'. I really like to say that: 'I know'. That's me, I'm the one who knows everything about everything; you ask me, and I have an opinion on it. There's a sense of confidence that feels really good. But the fact is - and this becomes more apparent as the practice proceeds actually, I hardly know anything at all, and what I do know is not of any great consequence. This conditioned mind has a very, very relative function.
We give a lot of positive value to intellectual certainty, so when we're faced with uncertainty we're unable to accept it. So we have this terrible tension. We come across uncertainty, we don't know what to do next.
We can't just sit there and say, 'I don't know what to do', and listen to it. It's very difficult for us to do that. Because of what? Because we're desperately trying to get away from the pain of uncertainty. But it's very important in meditation practice that, when you do start to find uncertainty - and this comes very soon in the practice, uncertainty about your ability to do the practice, or about the teaching or the teacher - that when it arises, you don't dismiss it. Remember the Buddha's instructions: 'Don't believe in logic; don't follow disbelief; don't believe in something because everybody else believes in it. Really find out for yourself - be a refuge unto yourself, know for yourself.'
And so what you know at this moment is: 'I'm uncertain, I'm uncertain about the practice.'
In the beginning, when we first start to acknowledge this, we usually find that we've got a whole backlog of fear and uncertainty. This is because we've been dishonest about our fear regarding uncertainty, and so when we do start to open to it, we find it difficult to deal with. 'This is very important. I mean, this isn't just small doubt - this is a very important doubt, a very important doubt!'
'Should I be a Theravadin, or should I practise Zen? This is very important, very important.' I wavered with this one myself for about seven years. I was really infatuated by the aesthetics of Zen Buddhism. I really thought that I should be a Zen monk. Thai Buddhism did not appeal aesthetically at all, but somehow I found myself ordained as a Theravadin bhikkhu. And there was this uncertainty, 'Should I be here, or should I be in Korea?'
Well, if it weren't for my lousy knees, I would have gone to Korea - I would have followed my doubt. So if you have bad knees, don't discard them. I am really grateful, I can't say how grateful I am for what my knees have taught me! It can take one into a lot of doubt and pain; you can think you've got your practice together until pain comes along, and then you start to doubt. If at that point you can apply mindfulness and do the practice - keep doing the practice when doubt arises - you can make some real progress. You can start to find out where trust and faith lie.
Trust and faith are found inside of doubt. Doubt is like the packaging around faith and trust. If you want to get into something, like a package of cornflakes, you open the box, right? You've got to open the package before you can get inside - no one wants to eat the package! You've got to open the package and get in there!
This is what it is like with doubt. Doubt is obscuring our faith, our confidence, our trust. All of us have some faith and trust - otherwise we never would have started this practice. But sooner or later it becomes obscured by doubt. If we don't have mindfulness at that point, we just never get any further. Our faith, our confidence will never really develop. It will always be dependent on other people telling us, or books, or hopping around trying this practice or that practice, or this technique or that technique.
So, sooner or later in practice, we come to the point where we actually have to open up to doubt and say, 'Come on in, I'm interested in get- ting to know you. Let's be friends, let's get to know each other.' Talk to it, don't fight it any more, spread loving-kindness. The power of loving-kindness is very important in dealing with something like the fear of uncertainty.
If we have this habitual negative reaction to things when I don't get 'my way' - then if doubt comes along, that definitely doesn't accord with 'my way', because 'I' like to be sure, 'I' like to be sure about things. So when doubt and uncertainty come along, if I reject them then I also reject the opportunity to develop and practise - and that's a great shame. So we need some encouragement in this area, to contemplate the phenomenon of doubt: what is actually taking place, why are we so afraid of uncertainty? Why do we always struggle to make things that are uncertain certain?
On of the most valuable teachings Ajahn Chah ever given me was when I went to him once, totally beside myself with doubt and worry. After we talked awhile he looked at me and said, 'If something is uncertain and you want to make it certain, you are going to suffer.' Well that's obvious. But he really knew what he was talking about, he really knew. If it's uncertain, you've got to see it as uncertain - why try and make it certain? It's only because of our attachment to certainty that we can't learn from uncertainty; yet it's only when we're uncertain that we learn. When we're uncertain, we can wake up, and look around and say, 'What's going on, what's happening?' We can be alert and attentive when we're uncertain; when we're sure, we just sit back and get fat and lazy. People who are really certain don't have this sense of openness and vitality and investigation of life, everything's very closed and sure.
So what we develop in practice is not a sense of certainty, but an ever-increasing sense of the uncertainty of everything. We're nor trying to find our if we're a sotapanna ['stream-enterer', a stage on the path to enlightenment] yet: If you're a sotapanna, you're a sotapanna, what do you have to worry about it for? We worry about it because we want to be certain -- we want it 'my way'
But then we're nor really going for refuge in the Buddha's way, we're singing, 'I did it my way ...' Even in the Dhamma we like to try and do it my way. 'I'm going to become certain. I am going to be a sotapanna by the end of this retreat. I'm just going to get rid of all my doubts.' Well, you're guaranteed to fail.
So open to doubt, bring mindfulness to bear on the mind. What does the mind do when it's faced with uncertainty? In this way, when we've stopped fighting it - when we've worked through our backlog of resistance to it - the intelligence can function normally. It's like the intelligence that tells you that if you're too hot, it's because you've got too many clothes on. If you're in touch with your body, if you're mindful of your body, then intelligence will tell you to take some clothes off. Nobody else has to come along and tell you, your natural intelligence will tell you. Likewise with fear of uncertainties. If we work through the backlog, we're able to be clear, to be with it in its raw condition as it arises. And then natural intelligence says, 'Hanging on to doubt with fear is not helping you.' You feel that, you know that.
And then letting go happens. You don't have to tell yourself to do it, it happens. This is insight. You understand the nature of doubt, you understand it for what it is. This understanding came because of doubt, and this under- standing gives us trust.
This is where faith lies: it's through investigating confusion, and investigating doubt with mindfulness.
Try to keep it simple. Don't let practice become too complicated. So, for this evening, I offer these thoughts for your consideration.
Doubt may be an uncomfortable condition, but certainty is ridiculous! - Voltaire

Same-sex marriage ruling may be finalised this week
Same-sex couples could know by the end of this week if they are able to marry under the ACT's marriage equality law.
A two-day hearing of the federal government's challenge to the ACT government's law will begin in the High Court on Tuesday.
The ACT government expects the court will reach a decision this week before the first marriages can take place on December 7.
The government said it had registrations for 47 couples who plan to marry in the ACT. The Commonwealth is challenging Australia's first same-sex marriage law, which it argues is inconsistent with the federal Marriage Act and the Family Law Act.
The case is the country's first real test of whether states or territories can legislate for same-sex marriage.
Federal Attorney-General George Brandis has described the ACT law as ''a threat'' to the ''well-established position'' that there should be nationally consistent laws for marriage. The Abbott government will argue that the federal marriage laws provide an exhaustive definition for marriage and that the ACT government is acting outside of its legal scope as a territory.
But the ACT believes its same-sex marriage law can operate concurrently with the federal laws because it applies to a separate status of marriage.
The ACT government scrambled to reword its bill before it passed the Legislative Assembly in October to try to strengthen its chances of surviving the High Court challenge.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell said on Monday the government was approaching this ''very important case'' with ''a level of apprehension''.
''I'm confident in the strength of our arguments,'' Mr Corbell said.
Mr Corbell said he believed a finding would be made in the case this week.
Advocacy group Australian Marriage Equality will seek to intervene in the case on Tuesday in defence of the ACT law.
Anna Brown, director of advocacy at the Human Rights Law Centre, said as well as testing whether the states and territories could legalise same-sex marriage, she hoped the case would clarify whether the constitution permitted federal Parliament to legalise same-sex marriage.

Forward in Faith wishes to echo all that the bishops of The Society have said in their statement following the announcement of Bishop Philip North's decision to withdraw acceptance of his nomination to the See of Sheffield.
We are grateful to those of different views from our own, including many female clergy, who have publicly expressed support for his nomination and for the Five Guiding Principles and the House of Bishops' Declaration. In particular, we wish to express our gratitude to those female bishops who have honourably defended the settlement that was agreed in 2014. As they have emphasized, the continued possibility of traditional catholics being chosen as diocesan bishops was an integral part of that settlement: the House of Bishops' Declaration imposes no stained-glass ceiling on mutual flourishing.
In the coming weeks, we shall be considering what action now needs to be taken – and by whom – to restore confidence in the House of Bishops' Declaration, and to correct definitively the false statements that have been made about the Declaration, the Five Guiding Principles, and the beliefs of traditional catholics. We hope that this can be done in partnership with those who bear responsibility for the Church of England at national level.
We envisage making a further statement in due course.
The Rt Revd Tony Robinson
Dr Lindsay Newcombe
Lay Vice-Chairman
The Revd Ross Northing SSC

The Rotoform HS (High Speed) granulator builds on the same basic principle as the standard 4G models but features a much larger rotating shell that enables significantly higher capacity production.
This high performance Rotoform system is ideal for products with a short cooling time and low viscosity, like sulphur, Bisphenol A, caprolactam, MA (Maleic Anhydride) and naphthalene, as well as a wide range of fertilizer products including urea.
The main difference between the Rotoform HS and the base model Rotoform 4G is the much larger diameter of the rotating outer shell that actually deposits the molten product onto the steel belt.
This means the influence of centrifugal force on the drop shape is reduced. The system can be operated at a higher speed while maintaining control of end product quality – still delivering a consistent pastille with a regular, hemispherical shape.
The engineering that goes into producing a dropforming device with much bigger diameter and 30,000+ accurately positioned holes is impressive enough.
The Rotoform HS is suitable for use with low and medium viscosity, fast cooling (< 20 seconds) products. As product cooling times are unaffected by the process itself, a system running at twice the speed needs twice the cooling length (up to 120 metres).

Each year we will work with organisations such as the JMK Trust and Bristol Old Vic Theatre School to provide placements, and we also invite applications for two of our productions each year.
Future opportunities to apply to be one of our Assistant Directors will appear on this page, please keep checking for updates.
Katharine Farmer, Assistant Director on Sleeping Beauty, the Rock and Roll Panto
Katharine served as Assistant Director to Zoë Waterman on Sleeping Beauty in 2017. Previous assistant directing credits include Dracula at The Loco Klub (dir. John Walton) and Elephant Man at Bristol Old Vic Theatre (dir. Lee Lyford). Katharine used to live in California where she received two Best Director nominations at the Ovation Awards and most recently her production of Gulf View Drive won Best Production of a Play (large theatre). Directing credits include: Kiss Me by Richard Bean (Wardrobe Theatre); Incognito, Gulf View Drive, See Rock City and Last Train To Nibroc (Rubicon Theatre Company); 23.5 Hours (Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre); and Pig Farm (St. James Theatre, London). Katharine is also an alum of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's Directing Drama MA.
"What struck me most about my experience of being an assistant at Theatr Clwyd was the enormous sense of community that envelopes the building. I loved working at a theatre where there was so much happening and so many people engaging with the work. It really fuelled the creativity in the rehearsal room and the staff took such great care of everyone involved. I'd never worked on a pantomime before (especially not a rock and roll panto!) and I learnt so much during the process about how pantomimes are crafted, rehearsed and produced, as well as how large scale technical rehearsals are run. Sitting in on production meetings and during notes sessions were invaluable to my understanding of directing a large scale production and I was so grateful to Zoë for the time she spent explaining her ideas and approaches".
Jesse Briton, Assistant Director on Lord of the Flies
Jesse is a writer and director. His credits include: A Pupil (Park Theatre), Reclaimed (UK tour), Derailed (HOME and National Theatre), The Muddy Choir (UK tour), Hiraeth (UK and NZ tour), Enduring Song (Southwark Playhouse), and the Fringe First-winning Bound (UK and Australia tour). He is an associate artist at Ovalhouse and a Visiting Director at East 15 Acting School.
"Assisting on Lord of the Flies at Theatr Clwyd and Sherman gave me a real insight into the workings of a major producing theatre and the demands placed on a creative team to deliver a timely and prescient revival. It was thrilling, challenging, and exhilarating. I'm already applying the lessons I've learnt from it to my own practice."
Francesca Goodridge, Assistant Director on The Importance of Being Earnest

I was first introduced to this wonderful theatre during my time with a visiting company (Gagglebabble/The Other Room), working as associate director on Sinners Club, and since then have been lucky to assist Richard Fitch on Theatr Clwyd's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, which remains one of the most exciting, creative and fun rehearsal processes I have ever been involved with. I have learnt invaluable things from working at Theatr Clwyd, which have allowed me to continue to improve my professional development as a director, my approach to theatre, and included me as part of a network which always strives to offer opportunity and quality platforms to those of us who are emerging."

Chris Batterham
With his dad's memorable 25-1 punt in the Lincoln when the big spring handicap was still run at Lincoln part of his childhood memories, Chris Batterham's bucket list when a little older went like this: nice house, sports car, painting, racehorse.
Shares in a company that floated enabled him to acquire his first racehorse, Miss Ondee, who ran in the ownership of CM, BJ and RF Batterham – Chris, his wife and his dad – and won a novice hurdle at Ludlow to set the Batterham ball rolling.
She was a Pipe-McCoy horse, as was Majadou, who came along soon after and was a shrewd purchase from France in the days when £40,000 or so could go a very long way and when the small number of other British buyers across the Channel included another Pipe owner, David Johnson, and Clive Smith.
These days, reckons Batterham, a horse like Majadou would set you back €350,000 or so, a situation that was to eventually lead to a successful switch of codes to the Flat.
Buying good horses from France for reasonable money was great for owners like Batterham while it lasted, and even though it was some 18 years ago, Majadou's victory in the Mildmay of Flete at the Festival still ranks in the owner's top two magical moments.
"People spend a lot of money to try to have a winner at Cheltenham so I feel lucky and privileged," he says.
Carlovent, Majadou's three-parts brother, was another jumper his owner has very fond memories of. He won £150,000 or so more than it cost to get him out of a claimer in France, including victories in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow and the extended three-mile handicap hurdle at the Grand National meeting twice at big prices, so it's easy to understand why.
At some point around this time, Batterham's dad suggested buying a Flat horse, and with the Batterhams having a cottage in Masham, a visit to Mark Johnston's stables at the Middleham open day led to a fruitful association.
"Martin Pipe and Mark Johnston are similar," says Batterham. "Fit horses, trying to win, and running week in, week out."
Keeneland purchase Takes Tutu was the Batterhams' first horse with Johnston, and he was to provide several magical memories, winning at the Guineas meeting and Glorious Goodwood and at Jebel Ali in the UAE.
Batterham recalls: "Mark was writing a column in the Racing Post then. I remember him writing about having four or so horses running in the UAE and not understanding how they weren't doing better, including at Jebel Ali, which had a steep hill.
"We went to watch Takes Tutu run there, and he was three lengths clear at the bottom of the hill, and while it looked as though he was sure to get collared he clung on in a photo. We got a plastic gold cup for a trophy! I've never had to wait so long for some champagne after a win, as there was none at the course and we went to the Burj [Al Arab hotel] for what was the most expensive champagne I've ever bought! It was a fantastic weekend."
It hasn't all been plain sailing, for Takes Tutu's half-brother, Lighting Affair, was a case of what might have been, for having finished second twice and then won a maiden at two, he sadly suffered a fatal bout of colic before he had a chance to show what he could do in his Classic year.
Robby Bobby – Batterham and wife Rosie's pet name for their son – was to come along to provide another magical moment for the owners, winning at Southwell just before Christmas on the last occasion Batterham's dad was to go racing.
With his son and daughter growing up and going off to university, the Batterhams took a bit of time out from ownership, but after daughter Jennifer had suggested it might be time to re-establish their ownership interests, and Chris had turned 60, the purple and green silks were back.
With Batterham's "nerdy"interest in the race programme, quirks and all, and with Chesham in his postal address, the rather unique Royal Ascot contest has always been one he's wanted to win, to the extent his purchases often come with that in mind.
Masham Star ran in it last year, finishing down the field behind Churchill, but with three wins and several other good efforts Batterham is very happy to have the colt, although working out even better for the family is juvenile Nyaleti.
Batterham found it hard to believe he was able to get her for £40,000, but the "rest is history" as he says. Her debut was at Salisbury in the Toby Balding Memorial race and she was to win at 16-1.
Her owner says:"I like the history of racing and I'd much rather win a race with a name that means something. Tony Balding trained up McCoy of course, who rode a lot of my winners, and the Balding family were all there. It was a good day."
Even better days have followed. Nyaleti went on to finish second to September at Royal Ascot in – yes, you've guessed it – the Chesham, and second to another Ballydoyle filly, Churchill's sister Clemmie, in the Cherry Hinton Stakes at the July meeting.
Then came a day to rival Majadou's Cheltenham Festival triumph on King George day at Ascot, with Nyaleti storming to a five-length win in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes.
"I think Group races on the Flat are as competitive, if not more so, than races at Cheltenham," says Batterham, "so I'd put winning the Princess Margaret in my top two magical moments."
What he describes as "very big-money offers" have come in for Nyaleti, but the owner is not planning to sell, seeing Nyaleti as a broodmare prospect. Besides which, he says: "If I accept an offer and then saw her win like that, I wouldn't just be gutted on the day, I'd be gutted for months, even years."
That sentence probably sums up best what owning a horse means to Batterham, who while invariably letting the trainer have the final say, enjoys being a "proactive" owner, one who remains proud of his role in Mondial Jack's win in an intermediate chase at Kelso 13 years ago.
"It was in May and I managed to persuade Martin to keep the horse in training," he recalls. "It was Martin's first runner at Kelso, McCoy's first ride, and was a fantastic day. They did the training and riding, but it was my entry!"
Pipe was renowned for his successful sourcing of horses and that's one area where Batterham is very content to let Johnston take the lead, being a little baffled by the "lack of recognition" for his trainer in this field.
Owners can also lack for recognition at times at certain tracks, Batterham feels, while naming Chester, Haydock and York as "fantastic", while another gripe is the timing of entry to some races – for example the Cheveley Park, which you have to enter for before the Lowther is run – which can see the bills stack up.
It's helpful, therefore, that Batterham, an accountant by background, has been successful in a business life that has revolved around technology companies, and he remains on the board of a few firms as a non executive director.
He's been a winner, too, with each and every one of the 18 horses he has so far owned, 13 jumpers contributing 49 victories combined, and five Flat horses notching 15 wins between them – and counting.
Here's to many more.

After returning from my trip to Portugal, I was invited to a Good Friday dinner at a friend's place. I wanted to contribute something to the meal, and since the host was preparing a soup, I thought bread and butter would be nice. The ingredients of the soup were sweet potato, carrots and coconut, so I figured something sweet and exotic would go well with that. I went with a simple focaccia bread, and added a special butter, which I had had in Porto, at Cantina 32.
As an appetizer, it is customary in Portugal (and many other southern European countries) to serve bread, olives and butter. I visited Cantina 32 on a rainy day, and was seated at a large, shared table. The bread they served was a nice sourdough bread, and the butter was called Banana Butter. Initially I presumed it was made of banana entirely, but the waitress told me it was prepared by their chef, using ordinary butter, mixed with banana and sea salt.
In an attempt to make this for my friends, I went online to find the recipe. After some searching, I came across a recipe on a Dutch blog, Zoet&Roze. The recipe uses fresh banana, and I had the impression they used dried banana in Portugal. But, since it was my best shot at anything proven effective, I made it as the recipe prescribed. It seemed from the text that Emmelien (the author) visited the exact same restaurant.
I prepared the butter and took the bread and banana butter to my friends. It was indeed a very tasty butter, and they were impressed with what I had whipped up. However, it wasn't as I remembered the Cantina 32 banana butter to be.
So, I decided to make another version of the same butter, this time using dried banana, and more corse sea salt. I mixed 100 grams of butter with 25 grams of banana chips, an added a good amount of sea salt. I first crushed the banana chips in the blender, and then added the soft butter and salt. The initial taste was a lot closer to the experience I had in Porto. This is promising!
After refrigerating the butter for a good couple of hours, I tried it on some bread, and it was divine! This banana butter tastes great on some plain bread, or mixed with more sweet bread toppings, such as chocolate sprinkles.

General View of Nil's Hermitage from the Village of Peski. Lake Seliger
In the early summer of 1910, Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863–1944) visited Tver' Province northwest of Moscow. One of the region's major religious institutions is the Saint Nil-Stolobenskii Monastery (Nilo-Stolobenskaia pustyn'), situated on Stolobnyi Island in Lake Seliger. In 1594, Job, the first Patriarch of Moscow, sanctioned the founding of a monastery on the island where the venerable ascetic Nil (Nilus) lived for 27 years until his death in December 1554. This southeast view was taken from the village of Peski on a small island to the south of the monastery. In the center is the large neoclassical Cathedral of the Epiphany (1821–33), designed by the Saint Petersburg architect Joseph-Jean Charlemagne (1782–1861). In front of the cathedral's main dome is the dome of the Gate Church of Saint Nil (1751–55). To the left is the Gate Church of Saints Peter and Paul (1760–64). At the far left is the Church of John the Baptist, constructed in 1781 and razed in the 1930s. Prokudin-Gorskii used a special color photography process to create a visual record of the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. Some of his photographs date from about 1905, but the bulk of his work is from between 1909 and 1915, when, with the support of Tsar Nicholas II and the Ministry of Transportation, he undertook extended trips through many different parts of the empire.

Physical Description
Glass negative (presented as a digital color composite)
- Prokudin-Gorskii's photographic work survives primarily in two forms: 1,901 black-and-white triple-frame glass plate negatives, made with color separation filters, which Prokudin-Gorskii used to make color prints and lantern slides; and 12 albums of sepia-tone prints, made from the glass negatives, which Prokudin-Gorskii compiled as a record of his travels and studies. The Library of Congress purchased the glass plate negatives and the albums from the Prokudin-Gorskii family in 1948. In 2004, the Library of Congress had digital color composites made from all the surviving glass negatives using a software algorithm to automatically align the color components. As with most historical photographs, title and subject identifications are corrected and enhanced through new research.

These easy to make grain-free, gluten-free cassava and coconut chips are sturdy enough to hold up under the heaviest of dips…like a chunky guacamole or homemade hummus. Bonus – you can use this recipe to make tortillas for fish tacos or a veggie wrap, simply stop before cutting and baking.
Tortilla chips dipped in guac are one of my absolute favorite foods. So when Vitacost asked me to recreate my fave cassava tortilla chips from Siete, I jumped. The Siete brand chips are delicious – if you had them, you know they are very light. Mine, on the other hand, are much more dense and sturdier. So, not an exact replica, but delish in their own right.
Shop the Recipe & Save
Coconut Flour
Coconut flour is a great gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, and it adds a coconut-y taste to anything you use it in. It pairs well with the cassava flour in this recipe!
I recommend using Vitacost coconut flour – it's cheap and organic.
Non-Toxic Parchment Paper
Parchment paper makes clean up so much easier – but conventional brands are bleached and could contain the toxic chemical dioxin, a result of chlorine bleaching of the paper. Dioxin is considered a known human carcinogen by The World Health Organization (WHO). According to the World Health Organization, once dioxins enter the body, they last 7-11 years because of their chemical stability and their ability to be absorbed by fat tissue, where they are then stored in the body, to take them out of circulation and away from key organs.. There is a theory, although not well studied, that having chemical buildup causes easy weight gain and makes it harder to lose weight, as your body holds on to the toxic fat is has stored until those toxins can safely be broken down and/or removed from the body without causing damage.
For this reason, I prefer to only use non-toxic chlorine-free parchment paper.

- ½ cup cassava flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ tsp. pink salt
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ cup warm water
- 2 avocados skin and pit removed, chopped
- ¼ cup red onions diced
- ½ cup cherry or grape tomatoes chopped
- 2-3 tsp. jalapeños or serrano chile, minced
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro finely chopped
- ½ lime juiced
- pink salt to taste
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, salt, oil, and water in a medium sized bowl. Mix with a spoon initially and then use your hands to knead into a dough.
- Once the ingredients are fully incorporated into a dough, roll it out into a log and divide into 8 evenly sized pieces. Place one piece of dough in between two pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin or bottle to roll it into a round, thin tortilla. Repeat with remaining pieces.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place 1-2 tortillas on it and cook each side for 1 minute before flipping. Repeat with remaining. You can stop here and have tortillas.
- Let the tortillas cool slightly before stacking them and cutting them into quarters (or smaller) to make the chips.
- Place the chips on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush them lightly with oil on both sides, and a light sprinkle of pink salt. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve them with guacamole or your favorite dip.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and use a fork to mash together, until desired consistency is formed.

Elèves parlant d'autres langues
In our community rich of 55 different nationalities, 11% of our students speak neither French nor English at home.
FASNY offers one entry point for students who speak neither French nor English: Pre-school.
In Pre School, children acquire both languages at the same time.
In Elementary School, the program emphasizes French at the beginning, then becomes fully bilingual by 2nd grade.
In English, students are grouped by language level, moving from ESL (English as a Second Language) to Intermediate and finally to Regular as their language skills develop.
In French, we implement
- Push-in: a second teacher comes into the classroom during certain French Language Arts classes
- Pull-out: small groups of students work separately with a teacher on specific skills during certain French Language Arts classes
From 6th to 8th grade, the program is bilingual with as many courses taught in French as in English. Linguistic support continues through the extra-help system for French, and through the three-tiered English level for English.
In 9th and 10th grades, students can choose to:
- stay in the French-American track where the mandatory curriculum contains more French classes, with many electives being offered in English.
- opt for the international track which offers an exceptional curriculum taught entirely in English with French Literature offered to native French speakers.
In 11th grade, students will choose between:
- the International Baccalaureate track, taught either entirely in English, or bilingually if the student is qualified to take both English and French as a language A
- the French Baccalaureate track taught in French with or without OIB (the International (American) Option of the French Bac). In the OIB option, English and Social Studies are taught for 5 and 4 hours weekly at a native level, and the classes are the equivalent of an AP or Honors.
hroughout their years at FASNY, students have many opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities offered either in French or English.
A FASNY education ...
A FASNY education is a great preparation for the best universities in the US, Canada, Great Britain, France and the rest of Europe
Our SAT scores are well above the average of independent schools:
|Critical Reading
- 100% of our students pass the Bac

The company is majorly run by company directors but every individual shareholder has a part in the company. Since all shareholders have invested in the company, they all have legal rights and liabilities. While the assets are owned by the company, a shareholder can indirectly influence the running of the company by practicing the legal rights. Sometimes, shareholders want to maintain privacy and so, a nominee shareholder is hired. Keep reading to find out if this nominee shareholder has any say in the company or not.
The authority of a shareholder
A shareholder has some general rights that every kind of company must offer. Other than, the minor differences depending on the nature and origin country of the company. The details of rights of shareholders of a company can be found in the company constitution. In general, every shareholder has the right to attend company meetings. They can also vote in important decisions such as choosing the company director. Shareholders can also sell their shares and shift ownership. However, this right varies a lot in different companies.
The shareholders of a company can sue the company in case of illegal actions. The company can also sue its shareholders if something unlawful is carried out. Since these people have invested in the company, they can demand company reports. All announcements must be communicated to the shareholders too. In issues like merging, de-merging, share buybacks, and any other matters regarding shares, shareholders have the right to speak up and have a say. The method and degree of this authority may vary depending on the amount of shares of every individual.
Liabilities of the shareholder
Although the shareholders are a major part of the company and also have a degree of say in how it runs, the company's liabilities do not affect the shareholders directly. The obligations of the company are very different and of no concern to the shareholders. However, every shareholder has a few obligations too. Once again, these mostly depend on the company's policies. The amount of shares also plays a role in the degree of responsibilities of a shareholder. While the exact details may vary, here is a general overview of what to expect.
The shareholders must pay all and any dues related to their shares on time. Similarly, all shareholders are obligated to abide by all the rules and regulations of the company. Anything mentioned in the shareholders' agreement must be followed. Breach of any clause can lead to outcomes decided by the company. In some cases, shareholders are also given the duties of a director. If this is so, they must fulfill the responsibilities of both roles. A nominee, on the other hand, has to act as a shareholder without actually interfering in company matters.
A nominee shareholder cannot practice any of these rights. As a hired nominee, this person has to sign a declaration of trust which clearly states that no rights are granted to the nominee shareholder. The actual shareholders can continue enjoying all these rights legally, without having to have their names mentioned in official records.

Branding, Marketing And User Experiences – IMRAN™
There's only so far even great marketing can take a brand…

There's only so far even great marketing can take a brand…
CVS invasion of consumer privacy
Why is CVS Pharmacy trying to track #consumers' #location even when we are not actually using their App? Sleazy invasion of #privacy and a #security risk! Shameful #UX design decision. Maybe the Federal Trade Commission can find out.
Stay tuned… television imagery may become holographic or directly tuned into our heads one day in the future, but TV is here to stay.
"World's Most Powerful Medium!"
Yes, better believe it, it still is.
You get, as I tagged the post, "#media #news #entertainment #opinion #history #music #comedy #politics #sports #weather" all in one 'box'!
How many heads of state, or sports champions, or politicians, or businessmen, refuse to be interviewed for TV and say, "No, no TV interviews, tweet me or ask me on FaceBook." ?
Much that many of us complain about how TV quality sucks these days, very few spend hours daily watching TV reruns from the 'good old days'. If anything, more and more global citizens are now getting and experiencing the power of television.
Its influence will get even greater as even greater network bandwidth and Internet technology takes global TV to every corner where traditional TV antenna broadcasts could not reach.
And, news flash for those who claim that TV is dead. When you watch video programming, dramas, sports, music, and entertainment on your iPad or smartphone, you are still watching 'television' programming, even if you are not sitting in front of a television set.
Just because the shape and size of the screen change, it does not mean the medium has died.
Stay tuned… television imagery may become holographic or directly tuned into our heads one day in the future, but TV is here to stay. In many ways, it is up to the television industry on how much of the best is still to come.

On each proposed step I discussed, he laughed and said, "We are Microsoft, We do not need to do that." And, "Developers are begging us to develop on our platform."
"Microsoft Windows smartphone sales collapse. Down 76%!" reports Computerworld.
That's not a WindowsPhone ringing but death bell of Microsoft's phone platform strategy that you do not hear, because when was the last time you heard a WindowsPhone ring except for the expensive product placements on TV shows and in movies?
It was a mere $8-10 BILLION write off which destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of Nokia employees. Please stand by for a similar LinkedIn write off in 3 years for about $30 Billion. They could have cured Cancer or built 1000 hospitals worldwide with that money!
Imagine me, a MacOS lover from Day 1, working at Microsoft (in strategy / cloud / consulting though) for 3 years. Ironically, I was already sick and tired of the 200 years old iOS UI (user interface) that has STILL not changed since it launched, and the UXdesign (user experience getting worse) from Apple in EVERY area.
So I was actually happy to see Microsoft's WindowsPhone interface as one of the few things they did not steal from, I mean, copy from Apple, and something actually better. But, the problem was not the technology. It was, and likely still is, the people of Microsoft.
It is a company with MANY smart people who made so many stupid decisions again and again, but never learned. A most senior leader liked some ideas I had to build a WindowsPhone ecosystem. He connected me with an Indian guy (not Satya Nadella) who was the VP responsible for WindowsPhone app and ecosystem development. I wish I remembered his name now.
On each proposed step I discussed, he laughed and said, "We are Microsoft, We do not need to do that." And, "Developers are begging us to develop on our platform."
I wish I could have recorded that conversation for entertainment value alone.

There should not be a generic "All workloads of Type X can move to the cloud" nor a "Workloads of Type Y should NEVER move to the cloud" attitude.
Good bye, Frontier Communications, I, thankfully, hardly knew you less than 30 days. B'Bye
One of these days I will prioritize my list of weaknesses, to see which ones to find and evaluate tools to overcome next. [wink].
I recently saw a good post on Medium about a poster that author saw on the FaceBook campus… "Ruthless Prioritization".
That is a great topic of extraordinary significance to me. I have countless ideas. I even get started on dozens.
Yet, my actual productivity, not just output, but effective productivity that gets things done, that brings goals closer to reality, can often be drowned in my desire to organize, prioritize and optimize my tools rather than in doing what needs to get done.
Cal it procrastination, call is avoidance, call it laziness, call it stupidity, but the end result is the same…
Dreams remain dreams, and things do not get done until months later, when I kick myself seeing how easily I could have done them way back when.
One simple rule I am still trying to teach myself is….
Prioritize DOING SOMETHING (Anything!) Over PRIORITIZING!!
It is too easy to become OCD about prioritizing types of things important to us, then prioritizing projects within those, then tasks within those.
I find the ONLY days I get ANYTHING done is when I pick up and DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, and literally get on a roll of getting things done.
Otherwise, I have spent one-third of my productive life investigating and evaluating tools, one-third installing and optimizing them, and one-third prioritizing things in them… leaving a big fat 0.0% of my time to DO *anything* out of what I need to achieve.
That is still one of the single biggest weaknesses I have…
One of these days I will prioritize my list of weaknesses, to see which ones to find and evaluate tools to overcome next. [wink].
What do you think? Do you have this problem? How do you overcome it?

As a fleet manager, you have a lot of responsibilities that come with the title, and a good portion of those responsibilities are financial ones. Fleet cards are one of the tools that you can use to ensure that your fleet is properly managed, on top of the ability to ensure that they're taken care of throughout their travels.
If you're not currently using fuel cards for your fleet, then you might be missing out on a more efficiently run fleet. Let's dive into a few of the features that your fleet reader offers that you could in turn benefit from as the manager of a fleet.
Fuel Overfills
As your fleet is on the go, there's no easy way to manage just how much fuel is going into each truck. Or is there? If you're worried about fuel overfills happening on the road, then a fleet card is a great way to ensure that they don't. Our fleet cards give you records of how much fuel is going into the truck at the time of the fillup, making it beyond easy to know if your drivers are overfilling a tank.
This is a quick and easy way to recognize if any of your drivers are filling up jerry tanks on the side or if they're using the card for any reasons other than to fill their class 8 truck. The main feature here is that you are able to get all of the data necessary to stay on top of this, as your fleet is using the cards.
Frequent Refill Alerts
While overfills are certainly one of the primary concerns you may have with your drivers when filling up, frequent refills are another concern that you may have for your drivers. Given that fleet cards alert you when your drivers are fueling up, you can set up alerts or notifications for when your trucks are being refilled too often.
With how much money is spent on fuel, it's crucial that you know when your drivers are spending more than they need to, to get the job done. Stay on top of the times that they're refilling and handle any refill situations before they become a serious issue, all with the help of your fleet card.
Reeder Distributors Inc. Can Help
If your fleet isn't currently using fleet readers on their drives, then it's time you start. The team at Reeder Distributors Inc. can help get you set up with fleet readers so that you can enhance the efficiency of your team and ensure that all trucks and drivers are being taken care of. Contact us today with any questions or inquiries that you may have regarding our fleet readers.
We were only able to cover two of the features that you'll fall in love with when using a fleet reader card, so make sure to check up on our next blog post where we'll cover the additional two reasons that you could benefit from this tool as a fleet manager.

UTKM Krav Maga Instructor Team
Here is the list of UTKM instructors. The list includes all instructors who are either currently teaching at a UTKM school or have been at some point certified by UTKM to teach. There are three levels of instructors at UTKM Lead Instructors, Full instructor and Assistant Instructor, each has gone through extensive training to receive their designation. We at UTKM do not offer week-long courses for Instructor certification as this cannot possibly be enough time to teach a person how to teach. In addition, persons listed here may have let their certifications expired which does not take away from their original instructor certification but does let you know if they have not updated their training. Always check with UTKM HQ if you have any questions about any of our instructors.
Lead Instructors
Lead Instructors are the most senior members of the Instructor Team and are certified to create other UTKM Instructors. In addition, they may hand out belt ranks up to one rank below their own in the UTKM System. To be considered for this one must have a UTKM brown belt or Higher and have been a full instructor for at least 5 years directly under another Lead instructor or have operated a school under the UTKM Brand. Currently, only the founders of UTKM hold this title.
Since a young boy, I had always been fascinated with the military and martial arts. It was not until the age of 21 when I decided that my career in Occupational Health and Safety was not exactly what I wanted to be doing at this stage in my life. I decided to drop everything and pursue my dreams of learning martial arts and joining the military. I decided because of my heritage that I would like to join the Israeli Defense Force. However, from the time I made the decision until the time I moved to Israel, it was almost a year which gave me time to start my Krav Maga journey. In 2008 I started training in Krav Maga originally under the IKMF lineage.
In 2009 I moved to Israel and served almost 2 years in the 84th infantry brigade, 424th battalion called Shaked. During my military service, I was trained as a rifleman, Light Machine Gunner, and Infantry Sniper. I also learned military Krav Maga as required by the training. I did tours of duty in both the West Bank and the Golan Heights. I was involved with everything from roadblocks to arrests and riots.
In the late summer of 2011, I returned to Canada. I felt that this was my home and where I had to be. I immediately started training Krav Maga again with my former colleagues and IKMF Master level 3 Marcus Torgeson. In order to improve my combat skills since my return, I also started learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and dabbled in other styles from Kyokushin to Muay Thai. I also have extensive Firearms training from both the IDF and other organizations. Since then I have also become a certified instructor in various other Krav Maga organizations such as IKF, CT707, CKMI, IKI and have trained with individuals from, IKMF, IKMA, KMG and others. I have done this with the goal to truly understand Krav Maga and the different approaches all while updating my skills and knowledge regularly.
On top of my Krav Maga Training, I regularly train and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I originally started under team megaton Black belt Trevor Clarkson, but when I started teaching Krav out of Budo Mixed Martial Arts I made the switch. Originally under multi-time world champion Scott Boudreau, Under West Coast BJJ founder Don Whitefield (Black Belt under De La Riva). Now I train regularly under the now owner Black Belt Mike Hanson also a WCBJJ Black Belt. I have also trained via seminars or school visits the likes of Luanna Alzuguir, Lucas Lepri, Megaton, Michael Langhi, Bernardo Fario, Marcelo Garica, Rob Biernacki, and Matt Kwan to name a few.
In addition, I have dabbled in Boxing, Kyokushin Karate, Arnis, Kickboxing, JKD, and knife fighting under various individuals of different backgrounds and linages.
However, no matter what martial arts I have learned I have always found that Krav Maga is by far the simplest and easiest and most effective system. Other systems take years to be able to actually use in self-defense situations while Krav Maga takes months (Regular training). Without a doubt, it is the most effective form of self-defense on the planet. I wish to work hard so that I can achieve my goal of becoming a full instructor.
I hope to see you in our classes and look forward to helping you develop confidence and learn the art of self-defense.
I have also continued to maintain my tactical shooting skills via training and teaching.

Greg Fuentes started at UTKM over a year and a half ago. He originally found us through the program we offer at Kwantlen Polytechnic University for students and was immediately interested. It became apparent to us that he not only had the physical skill to be a great practitioner but he also had the right skills we were looking for in an instructor. It took him a while but he is officially one of our assistant instructors and it is well deserved.

Action star Akshay Kumar, who has earned acclaim for his latest blockbuster "Airlift", on Saturday (February 6) helped lift the spirits of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) unit which secures Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
He was especially invited to deliver a motivational talk to the CISF troopers by its DIG Ravindra Kumar and felicitated on the occasion.
In his talk to the attentive troopers, Akshay shared his experiences about the hard work required to achieve success in any sphere in life.
"There is no alternative to sincerity, sheer hard work and perseverance if you want to achieve success in life," Akshay said.
He appreciated the CISF for their professional approach in carrying out their tough task of guarding the CSIA and keeping it safe and secure for the millions of passengers who use it every year.
Later, he answered questions from the CISF personnel and even shared several tips on physical fitness and his mantras about developing a good physique.
On their part, the CISF personnel were virtually floored by Akshay's humility, listening carefully and answering all their queries, freely mingling with them and even sharing snacks together later.
At the conclusion of the event, CISF DIG Ravindra Kumar expressed gratitude to the actor for sparing his valuable time to address the troops and enlightening them on various aspects to achieve physical and professional growth in life.
