Spirituality, Higher Consciousness & the Unified Fieldby Dr. Diane M. Rousseau
The higher the Consciousness due to the awareness of a person, the greater one automatically perceives messages that are telepathic in nature. For example, for a person who is in a Divine State of Grace, the Divine Bliss gives abilities and these gifts also go with higher consciousness and development. The whole reason telepathy (clairvoyance) comes into play is due to having empathy or a deep connection for another. We can say that when a mother, father, husband, wife, child, friend or loved one "feels" the impression of "something of a different nature or something right or wrong", their attention goes into deeper realms and perceives finer levels of understanding. This is out of love and compassion for an individual, individuals, animals, nature, one's country or the whole world. Animals have this natural ability and by understanding that Grace is all around, we can understand that the Divine sends messages when needed to those who can receive the many coded levels.
Due to spiritual development, we can also receive Divine Directives from the Higher Spiritual Realms; this is a higher form of telepathy and usually gives one a complete thought of an event or message for a higher purpose other than for one's own welfare. How many times have you heard someone say, "God told me to do this or that" and you knew they meant it with their whole heart and soul? It can be understood as a wave or energy frequency due to the transmission of a love-thought-wave (subtle sounds, vibrations of light and color) due to a request we send out. We can receive these subtle impulses and know what is needed, how to help or inspire what we love and even know how one is feeling or cognize what is to be done about what is being sent to us. God indeed does send answers in many forms; however, it is in the Silence where we receive the purest directive.
Today, this understanding is referred to as the Unified Field, or the field of the Divine, the Almighty. It is unified love and intelligence; a projection from the Divine Almighty into the field of all possibilities. It is infinite in its nature, it is Divine Bliss in pure intent and it is intelligence. It is multi layered and multi dimensional, contacted by the degree of one's awareness and spiritual development. The highest aspect is reached through devotion to the Almighty which merges in supreme unity.
Painting by Diane Rousseau
We can project a message, we can comfort by thought to any distance what is needed. This is a gift and it goes out to those that we "feel" due to love and caring. The factor is Love, is of God and cannot be misused without consequences. Intuition is the subtle and pure form of telepathy, higher than clairvoyance; intuition gives the Divine guidance that simply "knows" the truth about any situation regardless of space or time. This aspect of intuition is due to the advanced state of Consciousness where Oneness is the true reality.
To have random thoughts enter into one's mind or affect an area by another is not God's Will. It must be remembered that the sender sends a part of themselves out, if they are not of a pure nature, it will pollute the atmosphere and broadcast a lower frequency. This has been taking place for hundreds and thousands of years. This is a grosser and lower form of telepathy, it is from the lower physic development of that gift, it is often used to control, manipulate and mislead. It is usually done without the understanding of God's gifts and how they must be used in accordance with the Divine Will. Charlie Lutes in his lectures would often state that it was best not to "seek powers" until one had full spiritual integration and allow them to develop naturally because misused powers would be a curse which would effect that person for 1,000 years. Sorcery uses this technique as a power. All the more reason to appreciate the Divine Laws of Cause and Effect or Universal Laws and use the power of discrimination which is also a Divine gift of inner wisdom.
Currently there is talk of machinery to alter perception to feel God and use His gifts, this is based in ignorance and can never develop a lasting true connection to God. Science will never be able to duplicate ones connection to God, it would be like visiting Heaven but not being able to stay; for the experience was not earned and the love within ones own heart would be missing. The mind is a tool and a synthetic mind connection to higher physic power is dangerous, for one would not have the ability to feel truth or understand the Laws of Cause and Effect. Likening spiritual gifts to merely activation's of brain cells without any understanding of spirituality is misleading and sadly takes one away from their true divine nature; for what is to be said when the body dies? Mankind is responsible for the making of these mental ideas and tools, regardless if one believes in the Divine and Universal Laws or not.
St. Joan "heard voices" inside her head, called Divine Directives or instructions. Due to inner purity, she used this gift to try to help humanity for God. When one is "One with God", awareness can understand the intents of another, including messages from the Higher Realms, for God is within all things. Animals sense subtle perceptions and are naturally telepathic for they do not have an ego, sense of false self or agenda to misuse this natural ability. Humans are able to develop this natural gift by right use of thought and intent in daily life and the practice of meditation. Meditation, done twice daily, sets up a constant field of spiritual protection as well as creating the "fertile soil" for the inner purity of the receiver. It is a process of inner and outer transformation through the spiritual power of the Mantras, which are sacred encoded sounds of the Divine cognized by the Ancient Rishis. Prayer is further enhanced by this pure cultivation of the heart due to the "silent" infusion from the Divine. In meditation, we infuse the Divine. In prayer, we speak to the Divine. The importance of meditation and prayer are represented in all sacred Scriptures and Texts around the world.
Intuition at its highest functioning is pure comprehension without words; it is cognized thoughts and intents beyond any language; for it is of the substance of Divine Truth. Even if man begins to implant some technological device, it is without the understanding of the Laws of the Universe and God, therefore it will be limited. It will be fragmented truths, seeing only a small percentage instead of the greater whole for understanding and wisdom.
Charles F. Lutes
God is Bliss, awareness, love, energy and creativity with eternal status, Omni Present Omni Potent, a joy to just BE and give more from the Divine Altar of Love. The joy of giving is unending. Love does not have an edge, nor is it dependent upon a condition or a gross technology. It is Eternal and so are the gifts we earn by going within to the Kingdom and directly experiencing God's infinite Love, Divine Energy and Grace. We use this Divine Grace to perceive higher truths, to see beauty, to speak the sweet truth, to hear that which has value and to live in a way which supports and cares for all life while we continue to grow and evolve. Each person's Faith is to be respected; the source of religion was to be a guide to the Divine and a Temple or Church, a sacred space symbolic of the Temple of God within.
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Christ said, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God within and all things will be given unto you."
Such a simple statement with such a profound meaning...

Always we return to Source
When one realizes God within their own heart one can more deeply understand the importance of true Spirituality, ones connection with the Divine, one's place in the Universes, and Eternal Life.

Mid-day, Boltember 1 Minday.
The party has been on the train for a while. So far, so calm.
[OOC] Pak: I wonder what shorthand date notation is.
[OOC] Pak: B3B
[OOC] Pak: Er, B1M
Pak is cuddled up next to Sakha~
[OOC] WC GM: 519, actually.
[OOC] Pak: Oh. K
[OOC] WC GM: There being multiple Ms, Ps, and Gs.
Cassandra_Lionheart is draped over ORN, like a blanket
Sakha is napping contentedly.
[OOC] WC GM: Actually - 419. Start counting from 0 so shorthand can get away w/a single digit.
ORN stares blankly across the car
Pak hmms…
Ahiru pouts.
Cassandra_Lionheart whimpers something, and instinctivly hugs ORN, as if to shelter her from some danger.
The squeal of brakes announces another stop. //"Rocktown. Rocktown. All departing at Rocktown, please depart."
Pak hops up out of bed suddenly!
Felicia sits quietly, continuing to overlook the map from earlier.
Pak hops out of just in time to lose his balance and fall over.
Pak: "A-ack~"
Ahiru: "What is the name of the capitol?"
Hector_MKII is following the party
[OOC] Hector MKII: Since the correct player is not present
ORN: "… Good question…."
Pak: "Felicia has a map."
Cassandra_Lionheart wakes up and looks ORN in the eye.
Felicia's map shows the aboveground world. The dwarven cities are not marked.
ORN looks down and blinks all 4
ORN: "Sleep well?"
Felicia raises her eyebrow. "If you recall, it is a wordless map, at that."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Kind of." *yawns and strecthes* "I." *looks down* "Oh, sorry ORN."
Pak: "Someone go ask a conductor."
Pak stands up.
Pak: "I'm gonna go look outside for a moment to see what this looks like."
Pak peers out a window, if it has them.
Cassandra_Lionheart hops off and dusts herself off, and blushes
There are two windows in this cabin pointing outside, in addition to the window on the door leading to the main corridor through the train.
ORN: "No apologies required. This Unit enjoys such situations."
Cassandra_Lionheart really blushes now and looks to the window
Felicia: "Their supposed capital is quite large though. For all we know, this could be part of it…"
The town outside looks a bit larger than the ones the party saw before. Big enough that only the first block or two can be seen from the train station.
Passengers depart and embark up ahead. Quite a few of the embarking passengers are dressed more flashily than most of the dwarves you have seen.
Some of them even seem painted.
ORN: "Excuse This Unit. This the capital?"
[OOC] WC GM: Who are you asking? You're in your own cabin, observing through a nonopenable window.
Faint music comes from within the city - muffled by the train's solid wall.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Well, I say we should get moving to find Fakir and Gaia."
It is a hard, driven beat.
[OOC] ORN: actually I'd been staying in the corridor
[OOC] WC GM: Ah.
[OOC] ORN: so asking some of those people you said were getting out
One of the passing dwarves looks up.
Ahiru slumps again at mention of Fakir.
Dwarf: "Capital? Just the capital of ROCK!" He sticks his hand up in a wierd gesture - a fist, with thumb and pinky extended.
looks to Ahiru* "I'm sorry."
Dwarf: "You want the seat of government, that's way far ahead. You taking this train to the end of the line?"
ORN: "Affirmative. However this "Capital of Rock" may prove interesting in the future. This Unit thanks you."
[OOC] Ahiru: *facepalm* why do you have to be sorry forevery thing?
Felicia: "If the train is to continue further towards the capital, and the volcannon, then we should stay here if we wish to pass him, Cassie."
Dwarf: "Party at the Volcannon for me, you hear?" He brandishes the gesture again as if in salute, then gets back on his way.
Ahiru looks at Cassie blankly.
Cassandra_Lionheart nods with Felicia
Pak: "…Well.."
Cassandra Lionheart: "True."
[OOC] Hector MKII: Why did I see that one incoming a mile away? Move on
ORN tries the gesture and nods
Pak: "Hmm."
[OOC] Ahiru: Ju knows WC
Pak: "…Um…"
Pak goes up the cars to look for a conductor.
It is not hard to find a conductor. One is standing near the doors leading out, monitoring traffic.
Pak: "Ah, sir? How long are we gonna be stopped?"
Conductor: "We are scheduled to resume in…" He brings out a pocket watch. "…EXACTLY seventeen minutes forty-two seconds."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Well, lets stay on the train and see what is going on."
Conductor: "If you want to get out and stretch, make it quick."
Pak: "OKay."
Pak looks about.
ORN nods
Pak calls back into the sleeping car. "Okay, guys! There's only 17 minutes before we leave again."
Pak casts Sight!
Now that Pak has an unobstructed path to the outside, he can hear the music much more clearly.
ORN: "There are other sections to this train…"
ORN looks over to Cassie
ORN: "This Unit will look around the main engine."
Pak hears the music and sees…
Cassandra Lionheart: "Yes, ORN?" *looks at him with a puzzled look*
Pak sees that the town - almost a city, but not QUITE on the scale of Seaburg or the others back home - stretches quite a ways.
Pak: "I-it's huge!"
There seem to be several "outdoor" arenas, set up as performance venues.
Felicia: "Hm." She tucks away the map, exiting the cabin. "I'll take a short walk."
Conductor: "Never been to Rocktown before?"
Pak tries to see if he can figure- ah. "Those areas are where the music's coming from…"
Pak: "Nope."
Pak looks in the conductor's direction blankly.
Conductor: "This city's the heart and soul of our music. Almost all good rock comes from Rocktown. That's why they renamed it."
Cassandra_Lionheart thinks and looks to ORN
Pak: "I like it…"
Pak drops SIGHT.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Seventeen minutes? Shall we find a shop then?"
Pak: "Whatever you do, hurry~"
Conductor: "It's not a place for light sleepers, though. There's music most every second of every day. The houses have to be built with good acoustical insulation."
Pak: "…Hehe."
ORN: "… This Unit wanted to seek the main engine… Though This Unit could see it at the next stop…"
[OOC] WC GM: And yes, we will be invoking Hollywood Time for those "seventeen minutes", if you wish to RP it. ;)
ORN nods, resigned to his fate?
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at ORN and smiles, putting an arm around him
Cassandra_Lionheart exits the car, with ORN in tow, smiling "We will be back."
Felicia makes her way off the train, taking a glance around at the musical town.
The conductor leans in close and whispers, "Do give the people getting on board a bit of room, though. Some of them are forcing themselves to leave the parties, and can get a mite disappointed."
Pak: "Okay~"
There is a small convenience store right at the train station - almost as if expecting tourists to shop while the train is stopped.
Pak gets off with the rest of the group.
Pak: "Ooh! Store."
Pak runs up to it.
Indeed, the party recognizes a few of their fellow travellers making purchases there.
Cassandra_Lionheart sees the store also, and races…with ORN in tow
ORN follows ^^;
[OOC] WC GM: No Equipment, just Items. Standard Availability and prices.
Pak hmms…
Pak picks up a Phoenix Down!
The music is VERY easy to hear, now that you are outside.
[OOC] ORN: how much is an ether again?
There are, you would estimate, three…no, four bands playing at once.
[OOC] WC GM: 150 Gil
ORN: "Hm… … This sounds less… sleep-inducing than what the Creators usually listened to…"
ORN buys two ethers
Cassandra_Lionheart grabs 10 Phoenix Downs for 5000 Gils, and smiles
Pak buys another one
At least two of the bands seem to be directly competing with and riffing upon one another.
Pak: ">_>;"
Pak: "We've always been low on Phoenix Downs."
ORN: "Are you expecting sakha to fail to notice battle again?"
The shopkeeper says nothing, instead pointing out the prices on a cash register and smiling when payment is received.
Cassandra Lionheart: "I have the Gil. Plus you never know when your going to hit another toen right?" *rifles them away with her 19 Hi-Potions*
Felicia sweatdrops. "…Better safe than sorry, I suppose."
Sakha rolls over in her nap on the train.
Felicia merely grabs 2 Ethers.
ORN: "hm.."
ORN nods
Cassandra Lionheart: "Good. I think that will be it for now then."
Pak: "Yeah, I'm good too. n.n"
Pak looks outside.
Pak: "…I kinda wanna see that concert…"
Cassandra_Lionheart smiles at the shop keeper and waits for ORN to finish up
Pak can tell at a glance there is not enough time to go see the concert, and make it back before the train leaves.
ORN pays for his stuff and is done
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: Darn should have tried to seduce the shopkeeper to lower the prices. >.>;
Pak: "Hmm…"
Ahiru watches the bands curiously and tries to come up with a way to dance to that beat.
[OOC] WC GM: Dancing check.
Ahiru rolled 1d100 and got 81 ( Total: 81 ) **
[OOC] Ahiru: pass by 9
[OOC] ORN: forgot about trade too… ^^;;;;;
Cassandra Lionheart: "Well, I'm just glad my family doesn't have a school for White Mages here. I think I'd be in big trouble."
[OOC] ORN: ah well, its ethers I wanted
A less experienced person - even Ahiru herself, a week or two ago - would have had problems. But Ahiru pulls off a more than passable impromptu dance.
[OOC] Felicia: One level short of hi-ethers :<
It is not long before Ahiru attracts more than a few passing stares of appreciation.
Ahiru steps her feet to the beat, spins and walks backwards, spins and does the splits.
ORN: "Trouble can be caused or eliminated. Are they not all Healers? This Unit would think they would appreciate a profession that grants them work…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Yes, but I rebelled against them. I took up arms, rather than the healing arts."
Felicia rolls her eyes, and wanders off further into the town, overlooking the venues.
A couple of the others, waiting to board, begin trying to imitate Ahiru's dance, following her lead.
WC GM rolled 2d100 and got 67, 49 for a total of 116
Cassandra Lionheart: "I mean, I can still teach the White Arts, but i can't use them now."
ORN: "Hm…"
Pak IMs Fire to offer up some cool special effects for Ahiru's dance.
[OOC] WC GM: MAG check
Cassandra_Lionheart then watches Ahiru, and smiles, trying to mimic Ahiru's movements
[OOC] WC GM: And Dancing for Cassandra - at a bonus
ORN: "Even the Creators let This Series experiment individually with varying weapons, though other factors were mostly from design. All were given basic understanding of bladed weapons on either arm however … This Unit was a little… clumsy with them."
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 1d100 and got 51 for a total of 51
Pak rolled 1d100 and got 3 for a total of 3

[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: Stole my crit! ><
ORN stares and wonders why they're all trying to charm/confuse eachother, only having seen this done in battle
Cassandra's dancing is a little clumsy. Pak's special effects, though, draw in observers - and participants.
In short order, Ahiru finds herself leading an impromptu dance troupe.
Ahiru tries to get more creative, feeling happy.

Ahiru is far and away the best of the lot, but the others keep trying. Even ORN keeps up, to some extent.
Ahiru throws her whole body into the dancing, waving her arms around and even doing a mid-air flip.
[OOC] WC GM: Thanks to large bonuses, but still.
Cassandra_Lionheart continues to try to dance, seeing if she can finally mimic it right
ORN really not sure WHAT they're doing, but hey, if the whole party's trying it…
Sakha zzzzs.
Conductor: "All ABOARD!"
The dancers following Ahiru dance their way onto the train.
Pak: "Ah!"
Pak heads onto the train.
Cassandra_Lionheart dances onto the train and is smiling.
Ahiru dances her way to the train too, laughing.
ORN stops before he hits something…. Train kinda small >.>
Felicia makes her way through the crowds back to the group as it begins loading. She shakes her head with a small sigh at the dancing.
Cassandra Lionheart: "I haven't felt this good in a long time."
Ahiru smiles.
Soon enough, the doors close up and the train is on its way again.
Several of the dancers mill around the corridor.
[OOC] Ahiru: I feel like laughing… comparing Felicia to Carmen… XD
ORN: "… This Unit may prefer jumping.."
Dwarf: "That was RIGHTEOUS!"
Pak: "Hehehe~"
Cassandra_Lionheart walks next to Ahiru and smiles "I think I need to learn to dance from you."
Dwarf2: "Totally! You should come dance for our band, the Mind Flayers!"
Ahiru looks up at Cassie then looks to the dwarves blinking.
Dwarf: "Nuh-uh! She should dance for us, the GLs!"
[OOC] ORN: snicker
Dwarf2: "…dude, you still haven't decided on a name?"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Now guys. Ahiru dances for everybody."
Dwarf: "Eh. Ghast, Lich, they both sound good."
Pak: "Mind Flayers…?"
Pak: "What's a Mind Flayer?"
Ahiru blushes a little.
[OOC] ORN: certainly not lich-fucking-ghasts. I obviously mean looking-for-group as a name >.> ;p
Dwarf2: "Mind Flayers are the most AWESOME band ever!"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Could you teach me to dance better than I do now, Ahiru?"
Dwarf1: "Not. You just took your name from some monster of myth."
Ahiru scratches her head.
Dwarf2: "Pot. Kettle. Black."
Felicia: "…"
ORN: "Hm…"
Pak: "Monster?"
ORN: "What kind of monsters?"
Ahiru: "I do…I don't know… I just watched and did what I saw and I feel the music…"
Pak: "We fight monsters…"
Felicia heads back to the cabin, plopping down into her seat.
Dwarf1: "Yo, if you really wanna see…"
ORN nods
ORN: "See what? This talk of Rocks and monsters has This Unit most interested."
The conductor blinks, then hurries most of those standing around away.
Conductor: "Oh please Gaia spare my train…"
The two four-member bands seem to shimmer and grow.
Ahiru blinks.
The party's danger sense TINGLES.
Pak MEEPS.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Can we stop the fighting over a band name PLEASE!?!?!?"

Tigers shut down top prospect Mize
No. 1 overall pick reached innings limit, organization says
By Vincent Lara-Cinisomo / MiLB.com | August 18, 2018 8:01 PM
Casey Mize's first pro season will be a short one.
The Tigers shut down their top prospect, vice president of player personnel Dave Littlefield told The Detroit News.
"He's been throwing since last October and he's wearing down, running out of gas," Littlefield told the newspaper. "As we said when he first signed, we wanted him only to throw 15 or 20 innings, something in that range, and we're very comfortable with the decision."
The former Friday starter for Auburn University made five appearances since being drafted first overall in June, one in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and the past four for Class A Advanced Lakeland. He was 0-1 with a 3.95 ERA, allowing six runs on 13 hits over 13 2/3. The right-hander struck out 13, walked three and had a .260 opponents' batting average.
MLB.com's 20th overall prospect is healthy, Littlefield said, and will continue to work at the Tigers' Minor League complex in Lakeland. Mize pitched 114 2/3 innings in the ultra-competitive Southeastern Conference, where he was 10-6 with a 3.30 ERA and 156 strikeouts against 16 walks.
Last month, Lakeland pitching coach Mark Johnson said he was impressed with Mize's stuff and mound presence.
"Just the quality of the competition every level that you go," Johnson said of the 21-year-old's transition from college to the pros. "He pretty much saw it in the Gulf Coast [League], compared to what he saw tonight. But you just go and compete. It's a game of execution, but it's about the quality of competition.
"Obviously, he came from a good college in a tough conference. But his focus is good and, from what I saw, he has the ability to execute his pitches."

The Shuart Family // Newborn Session In Brooklyn
At Home In Park Slope
This sweet newborn session with 7-week-old Pete was a really special one for me. I met Anna and Kristen two years ago on what I think they would consider to be their first date. They were being set up by their best friends and were meeting for the very first time at a dinner party in Greenpoint. I wasn't aware of the set up at the time and definitely couldn't have predicted the outcome, but I do believe the best kind of relationships begin unexpectedly.
Over the past two years, I've watched them fall in love, get married in front of their friends and family, and recently welcome their baby boy Pete into the world. He is absolutely adorable, and has clearly filled their hearts and lives with so much joy in these seven short weeks.

Sometimes I am just torn between knowing what I ought to do… and being tempted. Like the time she left the fridge door open irresistably wide… or the night when she left the chocolates wrapped under the tree, before I knew they were out of bounds… Christmas is one of those times when tempation usually wins.
And if I don't get into trouble, you can guarantee that she will…or that something will go wrong… Like the year the turkey was stull frozen Christmas morning, or the one when …or when she woke with 'flu and had everybody coming to dinner. If stuff might go wrong, at Christmastime, it generally does.
And it isn't just here either… Pamela from butterflysand seems to know all about it too!

For the Family of Sergeant Wilson
$35,215 of $10,000 goal
Sergeant Robert Wilson III was gunned down during an attempted robbery at a North Philadelphia GameStop on Thursday, March 5, 2015. Wilson, an eight-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, leaves behind two children, ages 10 and 1.
"He redefined what a hero is all about," Commissioner Ramsey said.
Officials said Wilson's actions kept store employees and customers from harm, despite an intense gun battle during which more than 50 shots were fired.
The officer had stopped at the store as a security check and to buy a game for his older son for his birthday and as a reward for good grades in school.
*Updated 15 March 2015 to reflect Wilson's posthumous promotion to the rank of Sergeant.
- - -
I work closely with the Police Department and upon trying to make a contribution myself, noticed that there wasn't any way for individuals to donate online. I'm coordinating this campaign with the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #5.
This fund has been set up for the family of slain Philadelphia Police Officer Robert Wilson III. Funds raised will be provided directly to the trust fund established by members of the FOP and Police Department.
For more information on donating in person or through the mail, visit http://www.philly.com/philly/news/Fund_set_up_for_family_of_Officer_Robert_Wilson_III.html
"Sgt. Wilson fought a tremendous fight," Nutter said. "Tragic as that day was, we all know that unimaginably, it could have been that much worse. For Sgt. Wilson saved the lives of six, seven, eight people in that store that day. He fought for his family, he fought for our community, he is a true American and Philadelphia hero."
Many thanks.
From reporter Sharrie Williams, "There's always a story that comes along and makes you feel good to be a part of it--and this is an example of that. Take a look at the story and hopefully you will feel the joy they felt, even during this difficult time."
You're all part of the positive side of this story and your generosity is going to ensure that these two boys grow up with all of the care and support they deserve.
At the momment, 10,000 dollars has been raised, a mile stone, yes. But bue to the ages of the kids, future of school and other youth needs that the Dad; Ofc Wilson would have provided, more needs to be raised for the Boys Future to complament what will be coming in from the City Life Ins and Union. For the kids and Mom/Wife. Please keep the trend going. Thank You to all envolved. Respectively, Mike Carson
so sad our children are lost for shear foolishness whether life, life in prison or sitting on death row it's the end of life for nonsense. those criminal vagrants went in for what amount to pennies in the real world where most of us live and walked out with a real man's life, more penniless than when they went in and gave their worthless lives to the system. Rest well Brother Wilson. It was not in vain. You gave your life to take two useless idiots off the streets and I feel safer already. Peace and blessings to your family. You will forever be our hero.
Donations can be made to the Robert Wilson III Memorial Fund, Police and Fire Credit Union 901 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107. You can make donation via your bank, phone or otherwise. Their number is 215-931-0300

Baby still sleeping in your room in a bassinet or rocker? Here's how we transitioned our twins to their cribs—it was way easier than we expected!
I don't write a lot of parenting posts, but I've found myself telling other moms how we successfully transitioned our twins from their Rock and Plays in our room to their cribs in the nursery. I've told it so many times now, that I decided to share it here, just in case you're wondering how you're going to get your baby (or babies!) out of your room and into a crib.
First, a little about how we slept our boys in the beginning. When we brought them home from the NICU when they were 3.5 weeks old (they were born at 32+5 weeks), we were lucky because they were used to sleeping in a bassinet instead of mama's arms. So if you're in a place where the baby will only sleep on you, I'm not the person to help. BUT, if you have your baby in a bassinet, co-sleeper, or Rock and Play (or similar rocker) in your room, this might work for you.
Around 3.5 months, we decided to transition the boys to their cribs. This decision was solely based on the fact they were so loud when they slept—grunting and squeaking and snoring!
Many people will tell you to start sleeping your baby in their crib at nap time to start. We took the completely opposite tack. We started putting them in their cribs when they were at their loudest—after their 3am(ish) feed until the morning. They were tired and half-asleep and the transition was easier than we expected. For a week or two, we just slept them in their cribs during that stretch and they didn't seem to mind. Then we added midnight to 3am, and then after a week, 9pm to midnight. Soon we were putting them down for bed in their cribs sometime between 6 and 7, and they stayed there all night.
Then a month or two later we started napping them there as well.
For a long time they still woke up three, then two, then one time a night. Right now, at 10.5 months, they still wake up once, sometimes twice (every once in a while one of them will sleep through the night, but it's still rare).
But they really do enjoy being in their cribs for the most part, so feedings are quick and easy (we bottle feed, so that might be different for breastfeeding moms). I actually don't mind (usually) getting up to do their feeds—I take those quiet minutes to pray for them and enjoy some snuggles, which I don't often get when they awake during the day.
I know this method won't work for everyone. Every baby (and every parent!) is different. But it worked so well for us that I hope it might work for one of you, too!
How did you get your baby to sleep in his or her crib?

Internet Radio Targets Young South Asians
Toronto: The newly launched Naach Radio's tagline says 'Turn It Up And Naach', and they hope that they are heard loud and clear by the young audiences they are targeting.
To satisfy their appetite to consume music from various genres, South-Asians living in North America constantly find themselves switching between mainstream and South Asian focused entertainment channels. Naach Radio claims that that this segment is always on the lookout for a channel where they could listen to mainstream music by artists such as Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Jay Sean along with South Asian music from artists such as, Imran khan RDB, H-Dhami, Delhi 2 Dublin, and Bollywood tracks such as Ainvayi Ainvayi (from the movie Band Baaja Baarat), and Mit Jaaye Gham (from the movie Dum Maaro Dum) – all in one place without having to change channels.
"Existing South Asian radio stations cater to our parents' needs and not ours. Our generation is different from that of our parents, we crave both South Asian and mainstream music. We're streetwise, tech-savvy, and cosmopolitan – Naach Radio is reflective of that" said Bhavini Sagar, Chief Operating Officer at Naach Radio. "Our market research indicated that we represented a large sector of the community, and therefore we decided to launch our own radio station to fill the gap in the market. The positive feedback from our listeners has been so overwhelming that we've had to move onto a dedicated web server to keep up with the number of listeners tuning in."
The emerging trends in media and entertainment are all pointing to a technology dominated landscape, noting this, Naach Radio decided to pursue and establish a strong presence in the digital domain. "A strong online presence augmented with the capability to leverage social media tools that are integrated to our home-grown technology allows us to engage with our listeners on a one-on-one basis in real-time. This cutting edge technological advantage sets us apart from the competition. Our mobile and tablet apps are currently being developed and will be released shortly" said Bhavini. Another strategic advantage of pursuing an internet driven strategy is that Naach Radio has coast-to-coast coverage in both Canada and U.S. where it is licensed to broadcast.
Naach Radio has consciously adopted a rolling-launch strategy to tweak and fine tune its service over a period time rather than come to market assuming what listeners want. Bhavini added "We are in a prolonged beta phase – this allows for continual improvement of our service. We are able to conduct real-time temperature checks and measure our listeners' feedback on what features are working and what are not."

We are three clinical social workers who have consulted and worked with each other for many years. We have sat on committees together; we have consulted to governments regarding policy, legislation, and regulations; we have run practices and agencies serving individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Each one of us has a Master of Social Work degree and is a Registered Social Worker. Each one has presented at various conferences, workshops, and seminars in addition to teaching at universities, colleges, and hospitals. We began our work together in the field of Adoption and Child Welfare. Over the years, we each developed specialties as we continued to serve individuals and families throughout their lives.
This recent collaboration came about when we discovered that all three of us were passionate in wanting to provide much-needed services to Seniors. We are providing comprehensive assessments, protocols, and recommendations to Seniors and Their Families concerning a great variety of services, including Co-Housing Solutions, other living arrangements as well as communication and ongoing support.
Our Head Office is in Toronto, Canada with satellite offices in Barrie and Uxbridge, Ontario. No matter where you are, we are available to you using electronic / video means of communication, such as Zoom, Skype or FaceTime. All you need is wifi and access to a computer. In today's world, family members often live far away from each other and we understand the challenges this can cause. Our services are available wherever English is spoken.

Clean Weight Loss Diet
1 x Breakfast and 2 x Small Meals Per Day from the Following
The objective of this diet is to reduce your daily calorific intake down to around 1000-1200 kcal, while still giving you a reasonable diet.
Breakfast – (High Fibre, Low GI).
Your breakfast should be brown or beige, no other colour is acceptable, this means your stuck with:
- Branflakes
- All Bran
- Shreddies
- Shredded Wheat
- Fruit and Fibre
- Etc…
You may have upto 150-200kcal inc Skimmed or Semi-Skimmer, you should select your breakfast based on the amount of food you would like to fill you up, so while for example Shreddies contains 158kcal while porridge contains 50% Less meaning you can have more porridge than shreddies to meet your quota.
Main Meals
Protein – (Choose 1 Item).
You should aim for roughly 250-300kcal worth of protein per meal.
- Chicken Breast or Fillets (No Skin).
- Turkey Breast or Fillets (No Skin).
- Fish Fillets (Grilled or Streamed) NO Batter or Breadcrumbs.
- Cottage Cheese.

- Salmon (In Brine).
Bulking and Fibre – (Choose Upto 5 Items).
You should aim for 100-150kcal or Bulking or Fibre, make your selection based on how much you need to fill you up. For example a pre-made packet of Sweet Crisp Salad (Salad and Vegetables) from most supermarkets will contain 45-60 kcal meaning you could have 2 packets to really fill you up.
You should also offset with the protein, if you have 300kcal of that, you should aim for 100kcal of this.
- Salad (Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Peppers, Onions (Red and Normal), Raddish or Celery).

Stay With Me Also
"And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you. And see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus, talk to me Also Jesus teach me Also Jesus, be with me Also Jesus show me Also Jesus stay with me Also To the end of the world Also
A New Heart
"I will give them one heart, and put a New Spirit within them. I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh. So they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God. But as for those whose hearts go after their detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down on their heads, declares the Lord GOD." Ezekiel 11:17-21 A heart of flesh Is not to be eaten By jackals A heart of flesh Is bleeding For righteousness For Love For Creation For beauty For God
The Real Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Friend
Jesus says: "Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to The Father, He will give it to you in My Name. In that day you will make requests in My Name. And I do not say that I will make prayer to The Father for you. For The Father Himself gives His love to you, because you have given your love to Me and have had faith that I came from God."
Father Almighty. Father All seeing. Father All merciful. Father All righteous. You give Jesus to us. Jesus gives You to us. A Father worthy His Name
"When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation."

Batch of One: How AI & Robots Will Bring Manufacturing Home to the U.S.
"Rapid economic, technological, and social changes are creating a world that is ever more interconnected. One in ten Americans is foreign born, and local communities—urban, suburban, and rural—are growing more diverse. To take advantage of global market opportunities, companies must hire workers with global competence—that is, the capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance. U.S. educators face a critical new imperative: to prepare all students for work and civic roles in an environment where success increasingly requires the ability to compete, connect, and cooperate on an international scale." (Preparing a Globally Competent Workforce Though High-Quality CTE, 2016).
It is true; we do not live in a bubble. We are global. In fact, our region is known as the "innovation capital of the world". Not only are we innovators but we are also the home of the high-tech giants, stem cell research and biotechnology. San Mateo County is a hub of new and exciting work. Therefore, we must recognize this fact to create CTE programs that enable all our students to prepare for their success in such a dynamic and evolving local/global workforce.
According to Dr. Kevin Fleming his six step model to help students become more "career intelligent" include the following:
- Self-Exploration. Students should ask themselves, "What do I love to do? As well as "What am I good at doing?"
- Career Exploration. Students should explore "What can I get paid to do?" and "What occupations/industries are a high priority and are emerging?"
- Verify your career goal alignment with your personality and skills.
- Set a tentative career goal.
- Education and Training Research. Investigate and verify the multiple paths to your initial goa (work experience, job shadowing, interviews, apprenticeships)
- Establish an educational plan.
Please also watch his 9 minute video "Success in the New Economy"--interesting new perspectives to ponder.
State Plan Goals
Between 2017 and 2027, the state will produce a million "middle-skill" industry-valued and recognized postsecondary credentials broadly defined here as sub-baccalaureate credentials with demonstrable labor market value, including industry-recognized certificates, or certifications, or certificates of completion of apprenticeship, or professional licenses, recognized by California or the federal government, as well as industry-valued associate degrees that facilitate movement into either the labor market or longer term educational programs aligned with the state's workforce needs. During this time the state will also double the number of people enrolled in apprenticeship program, pg. 9 - California's Unified Strategic Workforce Development Plan - December 2015.

OAM 11g: Query Parameter Values In Protected URL Are Decoded After OAM 11g SSO Login
(Doc ID 1451936.1)
Last updated on MARCH 01, 2019
Applies to:Oracle Access Manager - Version 126.96.36.199.0 to 22.214.171.124.0 [Release 11g]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Access to protected application pages having URLs containing URL encoded query parameters fails if the access causes redirect for SSO login using Oracle Access Manager (OAM) 11g (22.214.171.124 or 188.8.131.52.0). This is because the query parameters have been URL decoded after OAM SSO login.
The problem causes an application error after OAM SSO login because the application expects the query parameters in the application URL to be URL encoded.
For example, the problem can cause errors when opening an Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) URL from an email notification, e.g.
If OAM SSO login is performed before the protected resource with URL-encoded query parameters is accessed, then there is no error and the page is successfully displayed in the already authenticated session.
The problem is specific to environments OAM 188.8.131.52/126.96.36.199.0 environments with OAM 10g WebGates on the application tiers.

WFML Real Bride: Emma
Emma was looking for a low back wedding dress for her rustic wedding. Read below how her Big Day went and how she found the dress of her dreams at our boutique When Freddie met Lilly in Brisbane.
So please tell us Emma – with months (or even years!) of planning, did the Big Day run smoothly!?
Everything went so so well. Noting went wrong. It was the best day and we had so much fun!
Was your wedding themed? Di you and your hubby go for a traditional feel or more contemporary style?
Our wedding was rustic with hints of black, white & gold
How did The Dress fit into your theme? Did you have any idea what style you wanted before beginning the search for your Bridal Gown? And did this change much after you saw the girls at WFML?
I always knew I wanted a low back dress when I started looking. WFML was the first place I went to. Once I saw all Vanessa's beautiful dresses on Instagram, I knew I had to come see you girls. I went and looked at another dress shop the same day as going to WFML and nothing compared to the quality of Vanessa's dresses, not to mention the atmosphere that you girls provided. You and Vanessa made me feel so comfortable, didn't pressure me to try on things I didn't like and stuck to my budget 🙂 I can't thank you all enough <3
Did your man choose his Suit? Or with some guidance did you help him? Did his suit compliment your gown? (or was it the other way around hehe).
Mark chose his own suit. We both decided to go blue with brown belt and ties, but I let him choose the rest 🙂 His groomsmen wore black belt and shoes. They all wore same ties and shirts too. Mark just had different shoes and belt.
How many dresses did you try on before you knew it was the one? 5? 10? 15+?
WFML was the first place I went to. Probably tried on 10 different dresses. Then came down between the 2 in the end. The other dress shop I went to, I tried on probably 20 and didn't like any of them and the girl who was showing us through the dresses was so mean and rude, so I knew I wouldn't be getting a dress from there, even if I found "the one".
How did your gown make you feel on your very Special Day?
I was so excited to put it on! It made me feel so beautiful and I can't thank Vanessa enough. I had so many comments and have recommended so many people to WFML 🙂
Were the girls from When Freddie met Lilly helpful in what can be quite a busy and time consuming process when find The Dress?
So amazing! Cannot rate the experience enough! Felt so comfortable. Like I was just trying on dresses with friends 🙂
Any tips for our future Brides choosing a gown that makes the day complete?
Go to WFML! Haha

Lupine Rotlicht 2-Watt Tail-Light
The Lupine Rotlicht ("red light") is a diminutive go-anywhere tail-light with some nifty features. Made in Germany as with its headlight and headlamp siblings, it is a first class unit whose flexible strap allows it to be easily mounted to a bike frame or seat tube. The battery is integrated LiIon.
Read my review of the Lupine Rotlicht. I've been using it for about two months now. Highly recommended.

[UPDATE // April 12, 2018] With a tremendous veto-proof vote of 132-7 the Maine House has approved making the overdose antidote naloxone accessible to everyone regardless of age! LD 1892, An Act To Clarify the Prescribing and Dispensing of Naloxone Hydrochloride by Pharmacists, now goes to the Senate for consideration.
After waiting two years – while over 600 people have died – the Maine legislature has finally empowered pharmacists to dispense the overdose antidote, naloxone. But the Board of Pharmacy rules deny access to this medication to people under 21!
Substance use disorder is a brain disease that does not discriminate by age. "Overdoses can strike at 18 or 19 or 29 or 54," said Speaker of the Maine House Sara Gideon. "At every age, we should do everything in our power to save every life."
With the opioid epidemic killing Mainers across the entire state – at a rate of one person a day – denying access to this antidote for victims 18-20 years old is unconscionable.
There is a comment period of 30 days before the new rule goes into effect.
You can save lives by contacting the Board of Pharmacy and urging them to hold a public hearing on this life or death issue.
Stand up for Mainers of all ages—send your comments by March 9.
Public comments can be submitted to:
Geraldine Betts, Program Administrator
35 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333
(207) 624-8625
Substance Use Disorder Does Not Discriminate by Age
We know firsthand that substance use disorder does not discriminate by age. Denying access to naloxone for young adults is sending a message that they are not worth saving. Contact the Board of Pharmacy by Friday, March 9 and urge them to stand up for all Mainers! FMI: preblestreet.org/updates/expand-naloxone

Three Worlds of Futurity – Margaret St Clair (1964)
'Unusual stories of other worlds and strange peoples
On Venus: An ancient and powerful Venusian race finds its ultimate evolution – but can they accept it?
On Mars: The people of the Fourth Planet are eminently reasonable in all things – except for the cult of the sacred Martian Pig, for which "fanatic" would be entirely too reasonable a word.
And on Earth: On the unknown world of one or ten centuries from now, the strangest stories of all become haunting, fascinating reality, as one of science fiction's most imaginative writers shows us that human beings are, after all, the most alien of creatures…'
Blurbs from the 1964 M-105 Ace Double paperback edition
The Everlasting Food (thrilling Wonder Stories Dec 1950)
A strangely poetic story in which a Venusian Sanedrin (someone who has the power of enhanced perception) loses her power but then gains the power of immortality, able to feed from lightning strikes, but then begins to lose her empathy for others. Somehow the premise doesn't seem at all odd here. The setting is colourful and detailed. In the vein of Martian / Venusian romanticism.
Idris' Pig (Startling Stories Jul 1949)
An Earthman has to take over when his friend and relative – who has been commissioned to deliver a blue pig to a Martian cult – falls ill.
Odd little farce.
The Rages (Fantastic Universe Jul 1954)
St Clair presents an interesting background to the story, one in which the populace is kept tranquilised on Euphoria pills to keep them from falling into 'rages'. The central figure finds himself running short of the 'Euph' pills on which he has become dependent until he meets a kind of anti-establishment group of people who make him reassess his worldview.
Roberta (Galaxy Oct 1962)
Probably controversial at the time, this is a tale of transsexual murders along the lines of 'Dressed to Kill'.
Island of The Hands (Weird Tales Sep 1952)
A dated bit of fantasy in which a man, searching for his lost love, crashes on an island where giant hands in the mist can shape one"s true desire. Humdrum stuff.

Dissertation title:
Here comes the sun: Improving local use of energy generated by rooftop photovoltaic systems
Group: Utrecht University, Energy and Resources
Promotors: Prof.dr. Ernst Worrell and prof.dr. Wilfried van Sark
Photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on buildings will play an important role in the energy transition. These will be mainly connected to the low voltage grid and call for research on integration measures. This thesis focused on exploring benefits of using locally PV power. Residential dwellings can consume one third of the PV generated energy directly. Commercial buildings have a higher self-consumption of 44%. Curtailing 50% of the rated PV peak power results in 4% energy loss, which can be reduced to almost zero with battery energy storage. Residential PV systems have a lower payback period than commercial systems, due to the larger benefits of self-consumption. Energy storage is currently not profitable for self-consumption. Avoided life cycle greenhouse gas emissions are 14 ton of CO2-eq for residential dwellings with PV. Support for relative large residential PV systems and implementing a feed-in limit are recommendations for a further growth of PV.
By September we will present an overview of SENSE dissertations on this page, with links to the full texts of the dissertations.
