Rosetta Stone online
The Rosetta Stone online
The project homepage is the outcome of a hands-on university seminar on the online presentation of the Egyptian Rosetta Stone. It is a cooperation of the German Excellence Cluster Topoi and the Department of Archaeology of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. For this project, the project leaders and the seminar participants combined their expertise in Egyptology, Ancient Greek Linguistics, General Linguistics, and Computer Sciences. A kernel part of the homepage is rich linguistic annotation of the trilingual text on the Rosetta Stone. However, it also seeks to present interesting information for a non-academic reader. The homepage is still under development. A TEI/EpiDoc file of the Rosetts Stone is in preparation.
Project leaders:
- Daniel A. Werning (EXC Topoi, HU Berlin)
- Eliese-Sophia Lincke (HU Berlin)
- Thanasis Georgakopoulos (EXC Topoi, FU Berlin)

Non-Moto: Hipstamatic Holiday iPhone Photos from Fuzzygalore
I'm always walking around with my iPhone in my pocket. Truth be told, one of the only reasons I got the iPhone was for it's camera apps. I couldn't care less about actually talking on the phone. Getting me to voluntarily do that is nothing short of pulling teeth.
My favorite camera app is Hipstamatic. With it's funky framed films, light streaking and curious coloring, the app puts a kitschy spin on your (square) pictures that I happen to love.
Here are some holiday time Hipstamatic pics from Chez Galore and our little world:
Do you have a favorite iPhone camera app?
Hope you're having a very merry December!

May Day marks bloody history for workers rights in United States
The first day of May is globally known as May Day or International Worker's Day. While cities around the world, such as Jakarta, Istanbul, Bangkok, Berlin and Moscow, hold protests and demonstrations to celebrate, the holiday sees little recognition in the United States.
Some cities, including Washington, D.C., plan rallies for May Day, but generally the day passes with minimal attention about the rich history that led to its creation.
History that begins in the United States.
During the late nineteenth century, the working class experienced deplorable conditions. With few labor laws in place, adults and children worked more then 10 hours a day in unsafe environments.
In some situations, life expectancy hit as low as the early 20s with men, women and children unnecessarily dying every day. Socialism and anarchy grew in popularity because it provided solutions for the working class, including options for more power and opportunity.
With no hope of escape except death, something needed to change.
The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (predecessor to American Federation of Labor) held a convention in Chicago during 1884 to discuss the growing unrest and develop a solution. From those meetings, it was proclaimed that as of May 1, 1886, all workdays would last eight hours.
Planning to enforce the change with demonstrations and strikes, anarchists believed the solution was too "reformist," but thousands upon thousands joined the cause and pledged to make the proclamation a reality.
In 1885, a railroad strike turned bloody, causing Chicago to be on edge about the approaching strikes. More than 300,000 workers walked away from their jobs May 1, 1886. For two days, more employees peacefully left work to take a stand against their employers and the unsafe conditions.
After months of striking, violence eventually broke out at the McCormick Reaper Works , causing at least two strikers to lose their lives.
Outraged, the anarchists held a public meeting the following day in Haymarket Square in Chicago to discuss the incident. While bystanders claimed the speech was peaceful and not intended to incite action, the police began to break up the crowd before a bomb of unknown origin was thrown at their ranks.
Approximately 16 people, civilians and officers, were killed due to the bomb and indiscriminate gunfire after its detonation. Five anarchists were tried and sentenced to death, not for their crimes but for their beliefs.
Eventually, more labor laws were enforced to create better work environments, including laws about safety and the ages of employees. In 1971, OSHA was established t0 further this mission. Its celebration, Workers Memorial Day, is held just days before May Day on April 28.
International Worker's Day isn't just a reminder of the day when the workers fought for the right to an eight-hour day; it's a way to remember all the sacrifices made by workers in the fight for something many take for granted today.
Almost 130 years have passed since the original May Day, and workers are still fighting for safety in all conditions. Many are still exposed to asbestos, a known carcinogen and killer that can lie dormant in the body for decades before claiming the life of its host.
At Goldberg, Persky & White, we're here to make sure your fight doesn't go unnoticed and you receive the justice you deserve. We're the asbestos and mesothelioma experts, and we're dedicated to defending your rights.

Rheumatoid arthritis can be a crippling condition that can leave joints red, hot and swollen, making it painful to move and interfere with normal life. Spine Scan is not the cure for such a condition, however, chiropractic and Trigenics treatment will help improve the symptoms and quality of life for many patients.
Want Help?
Are you sick of stiff, painful joints? You miss playing sport or taking the dogs for a walk? Are you sick of your arthritis preventing you from doing the things you once loved to do? Call the practice now on (08) 61508785 Scarborough or (08) 61508783 Mount Pleasant to arrange an appointment with Perth Chiropractor, Dr. Adam Rocchi, and find out if chiropractic can help you with your arthritis.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition, meaning that the body's immune cells get confused and begin to attack other cells within the body. It is more common in women, typically between the ages of 25 and 50, although it may also start in children. No one really knows what causes rheumatoid arthritis, although a genetic component is suspected, along with environmental factors such as recent infection or an illness. It primarily targets synovial joints, such as the smaller joints of the hands and feet. In some cases, other parts of the body may also be affected, such as the skin, lungs, heart and blood vessels.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors are experts in the diagnosis, management and treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractors help a range of conditions by safely improving joint range of motion, flexibility and endurance, muscle tone and strength. Spine Scan treatment aims to gently decrease stiffness within the joint that has built up due to immobilization and pain, as well as relaxing muscles and other surrounding structures that may have also seized up. Often joint stiffness is a result of he the body trying to adapt to neuromuscular weakness around that same joint. The gentle techniques of Trigenics will most often improve this problem first visit. Further treatments follow to "retrain the brain" and enable the correct pathways within the nervous system to be enabled for a long time.
Often times the resulting muscle stiffness can result in changes that affect other muscles and joints at sites distant from where the inflammation is taking place through disruption of what is known at the kinematic chain. We focus on the assessment of your whole body leading to more comprehensive relief, rather than just a "localized symptoms" based approach.
The treatment techniques used will vary depending on each individual, as not all are always appropriate for everyone. However the Trigenics and instrument adjusting approach used at Spine Scan can help a wide variety of problems.
We can also help by providing education, ergonomic advice, rehabilitation exercises, icing and heating advice and nutritional and supplementation support.
Food Triggers
A key component of managing chronic inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis is through nutrition and supplementation. Certain food triggers may not only exacerbate the condition but may also predispose you to a variety of other health conditions such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes type II. Sugar is one of those foods. This is because sugar has been shown to trigger the release of cytokines, a pro-inflammatory messenger that may increase inflammatory effects. Remember, on food labels, sugar goes by many names. It is often referred to as fructose or sucrose. Other foods that have been shown to increase inflammation effects include saturated fats (such as in our pizzas, cheese, pastas and produced meats); trans fats (such as in fried foods, cookies, donuts and crackers); MSG; aspartame (an artificial sweetener found in many soft drinks) and alcohol.
As part of his treatment, Dr Rocchi can assist you by providing nutritional advice and support. Eating more greens and vegetables, increasing fish intake to increase omega-3 and taking vitamin supplements to maximize cellular health are common recommendations made to help minimize arthritis effects.
Call us now to see if chiropractic can help you to live more comfortably with your arthritis. Call the practice now on (08) 61508785 Scarborough or (08) 6150873 Mount Pleasant to arrange an appointment.

Dustin Nelson, DDS
I have practiced dentistry for 38 years and in that time I have had 5 websites. I have worked with several dental SEO companies, and Tyson Downs is by far the most knowledgeable and proactive in this field… Hiring Titan Web Agency is the best choice I made in 2013. You are indeed a pleasure to work with.
Tyson worked well for my company, creating a new website and helping improve its visibility in organic web searches. He is reliable and trustworthy.
Craig B.

Besides doing a great job on the SEO, Tyson helped put a new face on our practice with a new logo and website. I couldn't be happier!

Melinda Harr, DDS
We started working with Titan Web Agency in May of last year after we noticed that search rankings weren't near as good as they used to be. In fact, we had dropped off of page 1 for most of our important search terms.
From the beginning, we were impressed with their responsiveness and follow through. Within a month, we started getting some page 1 rankings back, which led to more new patient inquiries.Read More

Anderson Dental has been working with Titan Web Agency for about 4 years now on our dental marketing. We appreciate their responsiveness and flexibility with whatever we need done.

We appreciate our working relationship with Titan Web Agency and look forward to working with them for many years to come.

It's hard to come by an SEO or marketing company you can trust. But we feel as if we've done just that with Titan Web Agency.
When we started working with them, we were fairly happy with our rankings in Google. We had been paying MUCH more and felt like they just plugged us into their formula. ...Read More
You need more effective marketing
To get an edge over the competition, you're probably spending piles of money on every advertising method under the sun: commercials on local TV stations, direct mail welcome packets to new residents, gift cards, sponsoring local groups and events, even doing ads on the local radio, etc., etc.
But all of these are very expensive and often ineffective ways to gain more new patients.
Do you know why?
Because these marketing methods are trying to sell your services to people who don't need them right now.
What if you could reach people when they need help?
Your marketing would be 10x more effective, won't it?
As you're reading this, thousands of people are searching online for doctors and dentists like you. According to Google, 77% of patients search online before booking an appointment.
At the same time, using your website as a marketing tool is at least 2x less expensive than most traditional marketing methods like TV ads. It's also much more effective because you'll reach people who are actively looking for your services.
This is a huge opportunity for you.
You can get more leads through your website
Yes, we're talking about SEO, local search, keyword targeting, on-site optimization…
But which one of these do you need to invest in? Do you really need to invest in any of them?
What is stopping your website from moving up the search results?
We can answer all of these questions for you, tell you exactly what is hurting your website's SEO and how to fix the problems. All free of charge.Schedule Your Consultation Today
Next year will be too late
More and more people are using online search to find local doctors and dentists. This isn't a trend that's going to go away. It's already part of our lives that's becoming more and more significant.
While your website isn't optimized for online search, you're losing patients to the competition.
Simply because their website pops up at the #1 spot in Google search results.

It's kind of, sort of impossible, in a single blog post, to discuss all 125 artists that will exhibit work in the Art Car Museum's thematic exhibition "RECONSTRUCTION."
Instead, Art Attack will focus on one story that we think is pretty cool.
Sherry Sullivan, an 82-year-old artist and 40-plus-year Houston dweller, was spending a lot of time in and out of nursing homes as she dealt with health setbacks. During recovery, she arranged the delivery of 14 paintings from her "Stations of the Cross" series that she had created more than a half-century ago while at her Chicago-area parish.
She hadn't seen them in more than 50 years. The artworks -- created with oil, acrylic, felt marker, pencil and mixed-media elements -- needed some touching up, which she somehow managed to do during physical rehab. Then she let them go.

The recipient was Houston's Casa Juan Diego, a center founded in 1980 that serves immigrants, refugees and the poor. Sullivan's paintings were later exhibited in the "Hope Dies Last" show; proceeds from the exhibit helped raise funds for the non-profit and "also served as the impetus for a handful of surgeons to volunteer their time on a regular basis to the people served by Casa Juan Diego," Sherry's daughter Molly Sullivan Levitt tells Art Attack.
Sherry Sullivan is the featured artist in "RECONSTRUCTION," which is Art Car's seventh-annual open-call shindig. The paintings displayed in this show are more recent works of Sullivan's that place a high priority on nature themes. "It's her best work yet," says Art Car director Noah Edmundson.
The opening reception for "RECONSTRUCTION" is scheduled to take place from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, December 17, at Art Car Museum, 140 Heights Boulevard. The exhibit hangs through March 2, 2012. Check out the Art Car Museum website for more information.

My favorite stop in Berlin was the Reichstag building, home to the German Parliament called the Bundestag.
The building was originally opened in 1894 and was home to the Imperial Diet of the German Empire. However, in 1933 it was set on fire by the Dutch Communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, and is seen as a pivotal event in the establishment of Nazi Germany. With a quick google of Reichstag Fire, you'll find pages and pages of articles outlining the events of the arson to conspiracy theories that the Nazis themselves set the fire.
The building refurbishment began in 1990 and were completed in 1999 to house the modern Bundestag.
I'm not sure if you can visit the lower parts of the building as it is a working government facility but you can take a tour of the observation deck located way at the top and look down over the Budestag meeting space.
The history is great but the real attraction is the incredible cone thingy. I don't fully understand what it is or why it's there but it's awesome none-the-less.
If you visit Berlin, I would put the Reichstag at the top of your list but because it is a government building, you must register for a time slot first. I got lucky and registered in the morning for an evening tour slot but I've heard that plan doesn't work out for most. You can register here.
Also, I stumbled upon the Neue Kirche church while exploring the Gendarmenmarkt Christmas Market which is a church built in the early 1700s. Not only is the church itself great but it is also home to a democracy exhibit with a replica of the parliamentary meeting room and tons of history on the German government.
The museum has much more information on the German government than the actual Reichstag so it's definitely worth popping in before your visit. The labels of the museum are almost entirely all in German so either have your Google Translate ready or do what I did, just make it up yourself!

But, the agency in the book was VERY similar to mine. It mentioned the Creative team, with their toys and Nerf balls. While I don't think I've ever seen a Nerf ball thrown around (I type that as I slowly push aside the "Rapid Fire Dart Blaster" under my desk), there are toys all over the place. I wish I could say it was just because we have a toy company as a client. We do, but that's certainly not the only reason. And things get thrown around often… but mostly just Roberto.
Me: Roberto, make a sad face like I just told you people are going to throw you around.
There are also the mismatched couches in conference rooms for brainstorms. People can wear whatever they want. And for the most part, people can say whatever they want. It's a comfortable, casual and open atmosphere. It's pretty ideal.
I like where I work a lot. It's like that episode of "The Office", when Jim is asked why he's liked working in Scranton, and he replies, "The people." If someone said, "What's your favorite thing about your office?" I'd say, "The TV in the lobby, being able to play Michael Jackson all day, covering my desk in Tina Fey pictures, wearing whatever I want, the little black spot on the wooden floor that we call Mr. Oinks because it looks like a pig, Summer Fridays, free coffee in the morning, being able to afford my shoe habit, biodegradable utensils, the awesome view of the city and… sending out hilarious, passive-aggressive emails."
Oh, and fine, the people. Not biodegradable utensils. I don't give a shit about biodegradable utensils.
Mr. Oinks
Eventually she got hired.
Get away from my desk, Kyle cow!

"Bridge 129": ventilated walls for building's energy classification and architectural volumes.
Marazzi Engineering ventilated curtain wall system helped to achieve two key objectives: to upgrade the building's energy performance with optimal results in terms of insulation and comfort, and to provide it with an immediately recognizable architectural identity.
Bridge 129 is a major project for the renovation of factory building on an industrial estate to the north of the city of Reggio Emilia, currently undergoing thorough redevelopment in response to the nearby construction of the new high-speed train station designed by Santiago Calatrava.
Without demolishing its existing structure, the building has been given a completely new shape, with simpler, more streamlined forms, using the Marazzi Engineering ventilated curtain wall system, which helped to achieve two key objectives: to upgrade the building's energy performancewith optimal results in terms of insulation and comfort, and to provide it with an immediately recognizable architectural identity.
"From the very beginning, before thinking about how to the design the building - states Giuseppe Innocenti, engineer and designer of Bridge 129 - I pondered the technical choice that could give me the best opportunity to respond to clients' demands in the most exhaustively way. First of all I had to bring the building into class A; secondly I had to give it a new look both in terms of aesthetics and volumes. Ventilated walls were the best solution to meet both needs because they allow you to easily overcome the problems of recovering the energy efficiency of a building and they are perfect to design new architectural volumes that provide a totally new identity to the building itself."

Web auditing in any place on the planet http://webauditing.org
A lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard
On the 18 February 1952
Morals are a codification of things which man has discovered to be bad for himself and for others at some time in his history, and having discovered that these things were inhib-itive to his own survival, he then made a law about them. It was an arbitrary law: He found out that every time somebody went and stood under a jub-jub tree they broke out all over with blisters. And he couldn't figure out what this had to do with jub-jub trees or why the fellow became blistered, and he had no explanation for it at all. But he had observed this several times, so he knew that standing under a jub-jub tree was inhibitive to survival, so therefore he made a law about it. now, when you lack a good and adequate police force, you can play upon a person's superstitions. And a witch doctor, actually, was the moralist, the code-maker, for man up to, well, the last hundred years or so. He dealt with spirits, he piloted you through to the other world, he tried to deal with your illnesses and so forth. He was really a jack-of-all-trades.
When you talk, then, about morals, you are actually talking about something which was bad for the race once upon a time and which was made into a law. now, when it became a law and went onto the statute books and was made effective by force of Billy clubs and judg-es, it was a law and sat on the statute books. But when it was enforced by superstition or just belief that it ought to be or a person is good when he… Or something like that, it was a moral.
Morals and ethics are entirely separate subjects. They are not even interrelated. Of course, in this decadent age you go to a dictionary, you open the dictionary and it says ethics. And in a big learned statement, terrifically learned dissertation – one word sitting there and it says morals. So you say, "Well, let's find out about this." So you go over it real fast, turn to morals. And then this terrifically learned dissertation there, it says ethics. If you want to play around with dictionaries, you will find that when two words are being defined one against the other and then back again and so on, you can pretty well conclude that nobody has ever fig-ured them out. Well, it is that case with morals and ethics.
The moral is not based upon reason, honesty, codification, good behavior or anything else. It is based upon the fact that something some time or other in the history of a race has been inhibitive to survival, and the powers that be at that time and their successors adjudicat-ed the fact that it ought to be impressed upon people that they shouldn't do this. So they say, "If you do this, something bad will happen to you." And they don't even explain what is bad about it; they just say, "Don't do it. It's immoral!" And that ends the whole argument, be-cause if you do something immoral, then the gods are going to get you or something bad is going to happen. The whole taboo system is simply that. If you want to go into any moral code, you can trace it down to its reason, its cause – the reason why this moral became a ta-boo, why it came into existence. You will find exactly how this action inhibited survival.
There was more pain in it than there was pleasure, and therefore it is immoral – any-thing whereby this action may be apparently pleasurable but experience has taught that this apparently pleasurable action actually contains much more pain and destructiveness than it does pleasure. Therefore it is immoral. And you can trace down the track of any moral code and you will find that this reasoning was at its basis.
Something which is ethical is a reasonable or a reasoning action or a reasoning behavior which promotes the maximum survival on all dynamics – that is to say, for everyone con-cerned in it. Ethics are concerned intimately with survival. If this action means survival on, let's say, the first dynamic, the future, for the group, it is also ethical – unless, all of a sudden, it means the destruction of the rest of mankind, at which moment it becomes unethical, be-cause, you see, that is more affected.
The Constitution has a statement to this effect. The Preamble of the Constitution of the United States declares: "We the people of the United States in order to form a more per-fect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty…
That is ethics – has nothing to do with codes, it is what is reasonable, what reasonably means the major amount of survival for the maximum number concerned in the problem.
Now, something ethical might actually mean the destruction of one or two people, if it meant the survival of hundreds or thousands of people, you see?
Now, if you separate, in other words, ethics, morals, you begin to see some reason. Your poor, befuddled teenager grows up in the high schools of this country; nobody tells him anything about ethics; nobody tells him anything about his own survival or his responsibility to the race or himself or anything else. Somebody comes along and tells him that something is "immoral," and he "mustn't do it because it's wicked!" And he says, "Gee, I'll have to find out. Is it?" They don't give him any reason. They say, "This is against the law," or they say, "This is immoral," and that is the end of it. So he flounders around through his teens. (Teen-age produces the maximum number of crimes of America, and very close to the maximum number of automotive deaths. Insurance companies know – your insurance is not valid if a teenager is driving your car at the time it bends a fender or something.) As a result, he doesn't have any definition, so he can't think about this. nobody is asking him to think about it: They are just telling him that "this is immoral and it's wicked and bad." And then they tell him something very strange that he probably can't believe. They probably say, "You'll go to hell if you do this." And he says, "I wonder where hell is? How do you get there?" In other words, he is completely unimpressed. And by being enforced upon without reason, he becomes un-reasonable himself. He is being restrained by something he cannot understand.
Fully 80 percent of existing moral codes today are defunct, and yet they are still in force. They have lost any reason for being, but they are still in force. And people recognize that these are no longer valid rules of conduct, and recognizing they are not valid rules of conduct, they say, "Why should we have anything to do with them?" But the second they say this, somebody has been along telling them that something awful will happen to them and that they are now immoral, that they are beyond the pale and that society will have nothing to do with them whatsoever because they have broken 80 percent of this moral code, or something of the sort. nonsense! But it actually makes people bad. The end result of an arbitrary code is to make people bad, make them antisocial and put them beyond the pale.
I can give you some very interesting data, for instance, upon sexual morality. It might be a little strong for your tender ears, but sexual morality came about only secondarily to safe-guard parentage or to keep inviolate the home, and other nonsense. It came about because one of the seven plagues of Egypt was venereal disease and a lot of people, when they got out of Egypt, were pretty bad off. And they didn't have anybody down the street with a penicillin gun to help them out. There was no cure, except abstinence. So the fathers of the tribes said, "Sex is wicked. no more sex. Women have to be virgins at marriage." In other words, "How did you handle venereal disease?" didn't have a reasonable answer, so we will just give a lot of prohibition. And God help us, three thousand year later – with penicillin, Aureomycin, sul-fanilamide and sulfathiazole and all the rest of it – we still have sexual morality.
Nobody is arguing in favor of sexual immorality or promiscuity, but to tell some young girl that she is forevermore lost to mankind because somebody seduced her is being just a little bit too nice. And you go into your high schools – the high schools of this great, thriving coun-try of ours – you just start picking up the girls, one after the other, and questioning them on the subject of sex: You will find out that most of them consider themselves utterly lost, bad, with something horrible they have to hide for the rest of their lives – which puts them out of communication with the rest of the race.
And all you have to do to make a bad human being is to convince them that they no longer have sufficient personal pride to be good, because they have to have personal pride to be good. And if you can convince them that they are bad, they lose their personal pride. And the only reason there is anybody in prison is because they have lost their pride.
You can trace any criminal that you pick up to a moment when he became convinced, of his own volition, that he was worthless and no good. He decided it himself. One day he is running down the street and he suddenly sees somebody with a dime or something of the sort – and it is just one of those crazy kid incidents. So he knocks this little kid down in taking the dime. He is just going to play with him.
Then the little kid antagonizes him in some way or another, and it all of a sudden comes over this guy, he must be pretty bad to be taking a dime away from some little kid – just like that. He may even give the dime back, but he will go on walking down the street. What have you got?
There is some kind of an old incident; there is some facsimile of great pain that has suddenly keyed in at that moment, actually – some facsimile which said he was no good. And he suddenly has apparently demonstrated it to himself that he is no good. And is his course from there on never to take money away from small children? No, it is not. He is absolutely no good; he cannot trust himself anymore. He is worthless, and it is useless for this individual, now, to further be concerned about his own honesty. And when you get the individual in that position, he is thereafter criminal.
Now, isn't that funny? All he loses is his pride. But that is all you have got to lose, is your pride and belief in your own being. When that is lost completely, an individual is done.
Ethical is reasonable. What is reasonable survival? And whatever is reasonable survival is ethical. For instance, it is very non-survival for bank tellers to stick bank notes in their pock-ets while they are at work. It is non-survival: It is non-survival for the bank and it is non-survival for the teller. In the long run, he will lose more time than he is buying with the money he is stealing. I mean, it just works that way. It isn't that it is against the law, because you can go out there and write all the laws you want to in statute books and it doesn't make them laws. You can hire all the police you want to, and you cannot enforce an unjust or unreasona-ble law. Making a law has nothing whatsoever to do with ethics. It actually has very little to do with keeping a society in good order, in spite of the stress put on it.
Now, this leads up to an interesting therapy, and this is a therapy all by itself, this one. (There are lots of little package therapies that you could take all by themselves; and you could just work an individual on that one therapy and he would wind up at the other end feeling wonderful.) What is self determinism's actual intent – the actual unalloyed intent of an indi-vidual? The basic intent of an individual is in the direction of a code. It is a code which really doesn't need to be written because it is inherent in the individual. The unaberrated individual follows this code instinctively. And the test of this code is that it is a therapy, because every time and every place it has been violated is a lock or an aberration on the individual. You can take this code and use it as Recall Process.
And you can just take clause one, clause two, clause three, clause four, and find out every time that this person broke this code. And if you find every time he broke the code on each one of these points, he will come up at the other end very high in tone, because you will have knocked these things out. The more he breaks this code, the less self-determined he is. And the less self-determined he is, the more he will break the code, becoming even more un-self-determined. And it is the dwindling spiral of dishonesty, but it is more than that: It is the dwindling spiral of aberration, it is the dwindling spiral of ill health.
The knights, when they were galloping around the countryside rescuing fair maidens and everyone was in flower (I often wondered how they did that? Did the sprouts come out of their head, or where?) – these individuals had codes by which they lived. They took vows to follow these codes. Well, that is certainly putting gilt paint on lilies, because the code is there natively. Here is an individual who isn't living by this code – he is pretty badly aberrat-ed – and all of a sudden you educate him to live by this code. Maybe you can raise his tone. But the trick is to unaberrate him so that he will follow this code automatically.
And as I say, this code is a therapy: You can take each point of it, one right after the other, and you will find that by Recall or Lock Scanning you can pick up all the times in an individual's life when he has violated this clause. And you will find each one of them is aber-rative and that he has worried about it since and he has been upset about it since – not because
somebody is going to punish him, but because it was untrue to his own self-determinism.
That code is called the Code of Honor.
Here are the 15 points of that code:
1. Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble.
Just never do that. It is not only non-survival for comrades, it is very non-survival for you.
2. Never withdraw allegiance once granted.
If you grant allegiance, you make a postulate that you are going to have allegiance to this group or this entity or this god.
And immediately afterwards, perhaps, you say, "Well, I'm not going to." You see, it is ten times as bad to be a backslider as never to have been, because the person who never was and never did make the postulate, of course, isn't trying to overcome a postulate. But the per-son who says "I am now a true son of the church," who, a few years later all of a sudden dis-covers that he is not a true son of the church and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the church anymore, he really goes to the devil. The only thing that is making him go to the devil is that he postulated that he was. So it is much worse to be a backslider than never to have been at all.
3. Never desert a group to which you owe your support.
A person sometimes has to differentiate what group he is supposed to support and how wide that support is and what these elements are. But a person who deserts a group will show up on a E-Meter a thousand years later. You apply this testing to the E-Meter and you find the most interesting reactions of the needle. You will find out that an individual who has deserted a group he was supposed to protect, for instance, will show up – even if it was a thousand years ago.
4. Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power.
Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power, no matter how much other people would like you to believe that this is the way to be polite or how to win friends and influence people. I can guarantee you that minimization of yourself, your strength, your power, is the fastest way in the world to make enemies and to be torn limb from limb, because it says "I'm weak; go ahead and attack me." It says, "I'm a 1.1. Come on, boys." It says "Go ahead, knock me flat; I'm nobody."
And you will find in the most decadent societies and the oldest and most tired socie-ties that the minimization of one's strength and power is the order of the day. The Japanese says (inhaling sharply), "I withhold my foul breath from your face." And then he says, "This unworthy one would like to say to glorious you that in his humble and ignorant opinion…" This is the chatter. And where are those people on the tone scale? Boy, they are almost dead!
When one race in particular, the German race, was really in its power – a long time ago, back before Christ – if you were to ask a German knight "Now, come on, admit it: You aren't the strongest knight in five tribes around; you know that," he would probably have taken his battle ax to you. You would have insulted him. By the way, the tribes were almost unaberrat-ed. They had terrific, high self-determinism – very powerful-minded people. And the Romans were strung along the Rhine and trying to hold them down and so on, and they would get into a battle with them and some German knight would ride back and forth and he would an-nounce that he was the strongest and he was the most powerful and he was the best and he was worth any 180 Romans, and would they send out 180 Romans so he could eat them up. So they would send out 180 Romans and he would eat them up. Very discouraging.
Those tribes suffered when they suffered at all because of their tremendous individual-ism. They would not hang together as political entities to fight Rome. And Rome could be way down tone scale, but it still had its legions in good organized marching formation and, as a result, they could hit a solid blow into these thin, individualistic tribe coalitions. As a result, the German nation never did much fighting. I mean, it never came out beyond the Rhine – except, of course, to capture Rome, North Africa, to every couple of generations wreck all of Europe for the last twenty-five hundred years. And it seems right now to be getting into a position where it is going to do it again. You know, nobody is going to convince those people. But if you want to lick the German nation, the way to lick the German nation is to get in there and make it the vogue to negate self, to say that this is the polite way to live: "that this unwor-thy one…"; not to blow hard about what one can do, not to be egotistical and so on, that these are all bad; never to talk about what you can do, always listen to the other fellow say what he can do, and so on.
Now, if you could do that, you would fix the German nation so we would never have any more trouble with them at any time ever. Fortunately nobody is trying to teach America how to win friends and influence people, because that would put us so far down the tone scale we would probably lose. And I am glad to say that nobody does teach them anything about how to win friends and influence people, regardless of a book out on that subject.
By the way, an actual clinical check-back on the practices of how to win friends and influence people shows that this particular attitude toward life is the surest way to make an individual sick and hated. Low ARC. It says go into ARC with everybody you meet, regard-less of where he is on the tone scale. That is a great trick. How sick do you want to be? And God, you might meet a Republican or something! Now, this will be a tough part of this code. And I stress again that this code I'm talking to you about is actually a natural code.
5. Never need praise, approval or sympathy.
Never need praise or approval; of course, never need sympathy, but never need praise or approval. Gosh, people would have an awful hard time trying to figure that out, until all of a sudden they found out why they had to have praise and approval – because praise and ap-proval are licenses to
survive, and an individual would have to be down tone scale and non-self-determined indeed to have to go around and ask other individuals "Can I survive?"
6. Never compromise with your own reality.
If you think it is real, it is real. Don't ever compromise with it. Somebody else comes along and says, "Well, it's not real. Actually, it's on page sixty-four of Professor Wittebump's 'Cranium Depository System,' which came over from Germany – oh, pardon me, Bavaria or the Balkans at such and such a time, and it says on there that actually they are hallucinations and illusions which are on the left side of their right side but aren't under because they aren't up and submarines have fear." And you say, "Anybody who could be that confused must be right." Well, that would be having your own reality compromised with.
Now, it is a mighty tough thing to tell somebody who would be very circuit-determined instead of self-determined that any time he considers something right, it is right for him, and he had better not change his mind about it – unless he contacts and runs out the postulate that made him think it was right, and then he can change his mind. Because accept-ing other realities than your own, against your own assessments, is a certain way to go down tone scale. You will get sick!
7. Never permit your affinity to be alloyed.
In other words, never permit a feeling of affection you have to be tampered with by somebody else. You can tamper with it if you want to, but don't let somebody else come along and tell you that the reason why you shouldn't like Jones is because…, and tell you a lot of things about Jones. And don't let anybody come along and tell you you have to like Mrs. Smith, like they used to when you were a little kid, you know? You remember? "Yes, you have to like Aunt Bessie. Yes. You know, she has a lot of money." (They don't tell you that; they probably leave it to you.)
"But you have to like her. now, it makes her feel so bad when you don't run in the room and kiss her when she comes in. You must run in and say hello, you know, and say…" That is the way to handle Aunt Bessie. Yes, but that is the way to kill yourself. If you don't like Aunt Bessie, you will get lots further with Aunt Bessie, by the way, by saying "I don't like you!" She will immediately get confused and say, "Why, dear?" This will worry her. "Well, I don't like your nose. I don't like the way you're wearing glasses. And I don't like those clammy kisses you give me." Aunt Bessie would probably put on Act for you and say, "(sniff, sniff) You are very cruel to me." "Well, I don't mean to be cruel; I just want to tell you the truth." The first thing you know, Aunt Bessie would only be interested in one person in that family. That is the boy who would say those things to her. Fascinating!
8. Do not give or receive communication unless you yourself desire it.
9. Your self-determinism and your honor are more important than your immediate life.
10. Your integrity to yourself is more important than your body.
11. Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.
12. Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.
If you want to have a fellow managing who is going to do a terrible job of it, get somebody who is afraid to hurt people, and you will have a lousy operation. You want some-body that can tear people to pieces any time that it is indicated, and you will have a good, smooth-running organization – not because it is force that is required, but honesty. Because the individual who is afraid to hurt people is going to be dishonest to those people. He is afraid to hurt them, you see, so he will wind up by hurting them a hundred times worse.
13. Don't desire to be liked or admired.
Don't give a damn. Because if you start giving a damn, you won't be liked or admired. The only way to really be liked and admired is not to care whether you are liked or admired and to act most any way you please. And you will be surprised how many people will like and admire you, but that isn't why you act the way you please. You act the way you please and as you should because it is honest to. See, it is kind of a lie to be one thing and act like another just because it is polite.
14. Be your own advisor, keep your own counsel and select your own decisions.
And that is a heck of a thing, isn't it? You are educated from childhood to listen to the opinions of others. To you they are worth nothing, because only you have data enough to evaluate you and your actions. Only you have data enough. You can sit down and communi-cate for days, weeks, months, to a person and not even then give him all the data you have about you.
So go around and get advice if you want to. It is not going to be good advice because it is not based on all the facts. Only you have those facts about you. So you only get along well if you are your own advisor. If you take counsel with yourself about what is right and what is wrong, you can take counsel with others in order to find out if your data agrees with theirs, or what between you can you pool as data which makes a new conclusion.
15. Be true to your own goals.
To cause things, one must be cause. And the primary requisite of cause is a statement of intention and goal. The primary requisite to be cause is a clear statement of what you are trying to do. Only when you clearly state it can you avoid being yourself an eventual effect. What am I trying to do? If you can't answer that you will foul up! So even though it is a poor goal, it is better than none. You can put that down as a beautiful maxim. It sounds like one of those horrible truisms, but boy, it will fish you out of more holes than you can possibly imag-ine you can get yourself into. A poor goal is better than none. You will find yourself, very often, spinning around. You don't know which way you are going or which way is up, be-cause you decided all the goals you could put your eyes on were too vague or too poor or too unwanted to try to attain. And that itself is a bad aberration and shows a misdirection on your part and a misestimation on your own part and a lack of understanding on your own part of what you are doing. There is no goal vast enough to absorb your total capabilities, because your total capabilities are so vast that they make goals. You are yourself cause. So how on earth can you set it up so cause can be anything else but cause? Unless you come down scale a little. But a goal, any kind of goal, is better than none.

The beach, another try
OK, so it wasn't Pensacola Beach, but there was sand and water. That's enough for the kids. Bilal didn't like the water at all, but he had a blast on the sand. Of course we had to drag Safa and Hamza out of the water when it was time to leave!

Didactic Faculty
Even as I sat in the MEDEX classroom in 1998, I knew some day I would come "home" to teach. I graduated from MEDEX in 2000, as part of Seattle Class 32, and worked for nearly 7 years at the Tacoma SeaMar Clinica de la Communidad, where most of my patients were Spanish-speaking. This provided a rich family medicine training ground, and I had the pleasure to train many MEDEX students as part of their Underserved Populations rotations through the years. In 2007, I began working at MEDEX part time, which became full time in 2008. In 2008 I also completed an MS in PA Studies with an emphasis in Forensic Medicine.
In 2014, I completed my Doctor of Health Sciences degree in Global Heath, and I have just returned to MEDEX after a two-year leave of absence, where I helped out as the Associate Program Director at the Master of Physician Assistant Studies program at the University of Manitoba. The Program Director, Ian Jones (Seattle Class 30) and I have recently completed a study on sociocultural diversity in admissions, and I expect to continue this research in the U.S. Again, I have come home to MEDEX.
As a young child growing up on the muddy banks of the Wishkah in Aberdeen, Washington, I was in awe of scientists and doctors. I hoped that someday I could be smart enough, like them, to make a difference in the world. Through my studies and my work at MEDEX, I have, and will continue to do so far into the future.

More Orchestrated than the Orchestra?
Rashmi Talwar
The tallest of Chinars and the tiniest of Rose buds rejoiced and swung in divine unison to the enthralling tunes emanating from the grand orchestra; majestic snows felt captivated with a tingling sensation; lush gardens emitted a more sweeter fragrance; bluish waters got intoxicated and many a weeping willow smiled broadly and whistled a tune to match the musical notes of melodies as Zubin Mehta and Abhay Rustam Sopori waved their respective batons at the Bavarian State Orchestra and the Soz-o-saaz ensemble of the best of Kashmiri instrumentalists.
Alas, humans- Ashraf-ul-Makhlookaat- the loftiest species, endowed with the gift of creation, acumen as thinkers and protectors were seen standing in divided queues slotted into countless paranoiac segments during the grand display of melody at the sprawling Shalimar Garden of Srinagar, on September 7, 2013. About 90 musicians from Germany showcased magnificent musical creations face to face with 2000 invitees. Many invitees were short-listed months in advance from a list of music connoisseurs.
The curtains rolled up with a music piece by top Kashmiri instrumentalists who played music of 19th century famed poet Rusul Mir's rustic, romantic hit "Rind Poshmal Gindanay Draay Lo Lo; Shoobi Shaabash Chyani Poth Tsaayi Lo Lo" (O the lover of beauty and wine, Poshmal has come out to frolic; Even the shadow of your shadow deserves praise).
As the East met the West in a matchless assemblage, more than 15 musicians from Soz-o-Saaz, brought folk and Sufi color to the majestic evening and played compositions of Kashmir's proud son Abhay Rustam Sopori, Santoor maestro, master composer, son of legendary musician Pandit Bhajan Sopori.
But elsewhere a boy defying halt orders was injured in fire by security, in the heart of Srinagar. Four more were killed by security forces in sensitive Shopain of South Kashmir while 12 of the security were injured. "I feel so honored for my compositions to be played by master musicians of the Bavarian State Orchestra with Musical great Zubin Mehta" said Abhay Sopori in his humble style to this writer. At the concert, German ambassador Michael Steiner called out 'Khushamdeed' extending a Kashmiri welcome.
Western instruments harmonized seamlessly with distinct Kashmiri music flavors and created melting moments of classic symphony with ethnic instruments of Santoor, Rabab, Sarangi, Tumbaknari and Matka. As Fusion music receded, it was gently taken over by mellow and climactic strains of Beethoven, Haydn, Tchaikovsky and Strauss.While world over these concerts have a select audience, in Kashmir the select audience became an abrasive issue, a status symbol with snob value. Predictably then, some high profile invitees with little sense of music, walked around during a recital; yawned or drove their ears and eyes to the who's who and fiddled with cell phones. Zubin promised that next time the concert would be for everyone instead of an elitist audience. He was clearly trying to clear the creases from the brows of many uninvited and hullabaloo caused by Kashmir over the event. The grand maestro quoted – Many nightingales entered the garden and flowers made way for the nightingales – taking a leaf out of poetry of famed poetess of Kashmir, Habba Khatoon.
"To audience across the world, Zubin Mehta brought a message of optimism and conviction about the shared destiny of humankind," The Kashmiri-Bavarian blend music-piece a 7-minute recital created history in the music world. Abhay Rustam Sopori had painstakingly created the music score sheet for foreign musicians of the Bavarian Orchestra, to read and play while the Kashmiri Musicians played by rote – a symphony that found itself as the first in the legendary history of Kashmir. The tingling Santoor matched other musical beats of the valley taking on the Bavarian compositions to fall neatly into folds, in the back drop of historical Shalimar gardens. Kashmir's robust floriculture department laid the grandeur famed terraced lawns of Mughal Emperor Jehangir in the 17th century with a thorough facelift, not seen in last 40 years. The gardens seemed to have turned all ears and eyes for the lilting musical aura, in decades.
"This is true", says Kapal Bhrany, an ardent lover of Kashmir in Amritsar in his late 70s, "It leaves me in raptures to recall the musical nights during Shab-e-Shalimar. I saw it first in 1959 and in the 70s with my family. It was a Kashmiri music fare with a son-et-lumiere with Rauf and other dances", he reminisced.
In 24 European nations, TV viewers watched mesmerized musicians in the grip of creative delirium, as the foothills of ZabarwanRange in the backdrop of Dewan-e-Khaas reverberated and ensconced them in the magnificence of one of the greatest music scores, for nearly 90 minutes.
Those miffed by the 77-year-old celebrated Zubin's 'Ehsaas-e-Kashmir' (the feel of Kashmir); seem to have wished no joys or pride for their Kashmir. They concocted stories and assigned meanings and stepped up all opportunity to play politics. On the sidelines they yearned to be invited and refusal made them label it the 'sour grapes' .The event was a threat to their power to evoke wailings and tears for every misfortune that arrives in Kashmir. "Kashmir, should remain embedded in the throes of despair nothing should soothen the wrinkles of the past," is their wish.
Insiders say, 'If separatists really care, let them impose restrictions on big fat Kashmiri weddings and smoothen lives of Kashmiris." That the concert will facilitate the Indian state to publicize normalcy in Kashmir, is their assault. But Mehta countered-'Music uplifts forlorn lives!' 'Provocation is easy in Kashmir. Who in Kashmir has not watched the live telecast of the musical night in protest?' The shutdown in protest, rather served civic administration keeping most mischief mongers indoors.
In the entire scenario, nature exudes the warmth of a welcoming, like a father of a bride, to this alien music, while human beings are playing the ultimate villain. The ear that has loved, slept, dreamt after countless musical lullabies by doting mothers ever since birth, how could those ears become believers of destructors, how could they threaten to draw blood over the innocent softness of the healing touch of music?

Fru Hazlittt was appointed managing director of commercial and online at ITV when new CEO Adam Crozier and chairman Archie Norman emerged as the bosses of the (then) troubled biggest UK commercial broadcaster.
She took over from managing director of broadcast and commercial (yes, I know these titles are stupid) Rupert Howell, the former agency man at HHCL and McCanns who'd been charged with schmoozing clients through the recession.
In the middle, and charged with bringing in the business at rates that ITV, against all logic sometimes, thought it deserved was Gary Digby, an old ITV sales hand who knew how to browbeat media agencies into paying something close to the price the station wanted.
Digby's job was sales director although, for some reason, ITV seems incapable of acknowledging that that's a real job (even though it brings in the money) so he never got the title.
Now he's been fired in a long-awaited review by Hazlitt and Kelly Williams, who wisely jumped from Five when Richard Desmond bought the company, has been made head of TV sales while Richard Daglish, who worked with Hazlitt in commercial radio, has been made head of online sales.
But Hazlitt has never sold TV broadcast sales at the sharp end and neither has Williams really in terms of dealing with the likes of WPP's Group M and hundreds of millions of quid's worth of Unilever or Procter & Gamble.
What ITV surely needs is a battle-hardened sales director, like the great Ron Miller who ran London Weekend Television's sales, who can combine abundant charm with the ruthlessness of a New York mafia family consigliere.
Hazlitt, who very briefly became CEO of GCap before it was absorbed by Global Radio and she was dumped, has a lot to prove through these new appointments and the ungracious dumping of Digby.
ITV's on a roll at the moment, they'd better hope it lasts.

Electric cars will not be a success in Australia until governments are willing to subsidise their use.
That's the view of Renault Nissan Alliance chairman Carlos Ghson, who made a rare visit to Australia this week.
Ghosn says "consumer demand is very limited for electric cars", which are only popular in heavily-subsidized areas such as China, California and Norway.
Sales figures produced by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries show that just 200 electric cars have been delivered to customers in 2017, less than 0.05 per cent of the 465,000 vehicles sold in the first five months of the year. That figure is imperfect as it does not include deliveries for Tesla, which does not issue local sales reports.
Even so, Ghosn says the widespread use of battery-powered vehicles is a long way away.
"I don't think today there is anything to lead us to think that Australia is going to see, soon, electric cars," he says.
"Usually electric cars take off when there is a country policy about supporting zero emissions transportation... at the same time they are supporting communities to develop charging infrastructure, because they know that if there is no charging infrastructure this is not going to take off.
"I don't hear anything from our team showing that there will be support for electric cars in Australia."
Ghosn says the flaw in electric car prices is a lack of scale to their production. Nissan has been a pioneer of electric vehicles with the Leaf, an ageing model that has found no new customers in 2017.
"It's a question of scale," he says.
"The subsidies are important to jump-start the technology and help the technology reach a new level. I understand that your government is going to issue a new policy. I will be waiting [to see] what are the components of this policy."

Sleep position and other habits can affect facial aging
March 5, 2012
While getting enough sleep is one of the things doctors recommend in the fight against aging, how you sleep could also make a difference. According to the Bellingham Herald, a Boston-based plastic surgeon says that sleep position can cause individuals to appear older than they are.
"From your 30s to your 50s, how you sleep is important," he told the newspaper. "Certain sleep positions leave sleep lines on your face, which become wrinkles on your face. Sleeping on your side or using a rough pillow can cause sleep lines and wrinkles. Sleeping on your back is the best option, but people find it uncomfortable."
Other steps can also help individuals maintain a youthful appearance, such as remaining hydrated and taking care of the skin. The experts suggests cleansing the skin on the face with a gentle face wash rather than soap and making sure to protect skin from the sun with sunscreen all year long.
"Sun damage causes lots of problems to your skin, not to mention cancerous growth," he told the news source. "Your body can't heal the sun damage unless you give it time to heal, and you can't give it time to heal without using sunscreen."
Besides the face, it's also important to take care of the hands, which can become weathered-looking and wrinkled without proper care, such as moisturizing.
Botulinum Toxin Type A injections such as Botox and Dysport, hyaluronic acid injections, microdermabrasion and chemical peels can help improve the appearance of the skin on the face for a more youthful look.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 7.7 million individuals had non-surgical treatments in 2010. Many choose them because of their affordability as well as the fact that are less invasive than surgery and produce noticeable improvements.
