KUALA LUMPUR: The use of the Sedition Act 1948 to curb freedom of expression took a backseat this year, with related offences largely falling under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA), a Suaram report found.
The 55-page Suaram human rights report overview, which was launched today, said there were nine known documented cases under the Sedition Act, while the CMA had 146.
"While the overall reduction in arrest, detention and prosecution under the Sedition Act is a welcome improvement, the documented cases in 2017 suggests that the Act still stands as one of the more noteworthy laws in restricting freedom of expression, despite the existence of other more well-used legal provisions," the report said.
Suaram's programme coordinator Dobby Chew told the media that such a trend has happened before, where there was a sharp rise in the use of the Sedition Act, after the Internal Security Act (ISA) was abolished.
A similar situation was now persisting, with the increase in the application of the CMA after civil society groups strongly campaigned against the Sedition Act.
Chew pointed out that since the provisions under the CMA was very wide and very broad, it made prosecution very easy.
There also appeared to be very few legal challenges against CMA cases, where most of those charged under the CMA tended to plead guilty at the first available opportunity.
The Sedition Act, on the other hand, has seen many legal challenges, Chew said, with three or four trials currently ongoing.
Suaram executive director Sevan Doraisamy also weighed in on the matter, saying that using new laws as a means to curb freedom of expression was a tactic used by the ruling party to keep civil society groups from strategising.
"For instance, when civil society groups came together and campaigned against the Sedition Act, the powers that be started to use CMA.
"It is clearly to keep you busy to fight the laws. They are very smart. They don't let you strategise," he said.
In general, the report stated that human rights violations this year followed largely the same trend in the preceding years.
The issue of freedom of expression and the actions of religious authorities was also raised in the report. Particular mention was made of how Turkish scholar Mustafa Akyol was arrested and detained by the Federal Territories Islamic Affairs Department (Jawi) in September, following a talk he had given on the commonalities between the Abrahamaic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Children held under Sosma
Detention without trial also continued to persist this year, with more than 989 individuals arrested and detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act since its inception in April 2012, with the shocking revelation that 159 minors were also held under this law.
The appointment of Raus Sharif as Chief Justice and Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin as Court of Appeal president revived the concern for judicial independence in Malaysia.
The report stated that the legal fraternity and civil society expressed their concern over the legality and constitutionality of their appointments, with regards to their retirement and reappointment as additional judges, while retaining their senior judicial appointments.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico's president vowed on Saturday to redouble his fight against an epidemic of fuel theft after thieves punctured a pipeline north of Mexico City, causing an explosion that killed at least 66 people and injured 76 others.
The blast underscored the deadly perils of the fuel-theft racket, which has cost the government billions of dollars a year and has been the target of a weekslong crackdown by the administration of Mexico's new president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
"Although it hurts a lot, we have to continue with the plan to end fuel theft," Mr. López Obrador said during a news conference at the presidential palace in Mexico City. "We will not stop. We will eradicate this."
The explosion, which occurred Friday night along a pipeline in a rural part of the state of Hidalgo, was particularly deadly because the promise of free gasoline had drawn hundreds of residents to the breach in the pipeline.
Videos taken before the blast showed a raucous atmosphere, with villagers from the rural municipality of Tlahuelilpan, including families, whooping and laughing as they filled plastic jugs, pails and canisters with the gasoline, which gushed from the break like a geyser.
In the footage, military personnel who had rushed to the scene can be seen standing by and observing the throng that had converged on the pipeline, which connects to the nearby Tula refinery operated by the government-run oil firm Petróleos Mexicanos, known as Pemex.
Mexico's defense secretary, Luis Cresencio Sandoval, said that about 25 troops were on the scene, but the contingent was not large enough to turn back the 600 to 800 villagers who had swarmed the site. He said that his troops tried to persuade residents to retreat but their entreaties were ignored, and some of the people turned "aggressive" toward the soldiers.
About two hours after the authorities learned of the break, the fuel ignited, causing a huge explosion and sending flames and clouds of smoke into the sky. Videos and photographs circulating on social media and broadcast on Mexican news channels showed people engulfed in fire running away from the blaze and victims screaming in pain and wailing for help.
The fire took more than four hours to extinguish.
It was the deadliest pipeline explosion in Mexico in recent memory. In 2010, at least 27 people were killed, scores injured and numerous homes destroyed in a blast in San Martín Texmelucan de Labastida, a city in the state of Puebla. That, too, was caused by an illegal siphoning effort, officials said.
Mexico's attorney general, Alejandro Gertz, said that the authorities had opened an investigation but insisted that "there was no doubt" the explosion on Friday was caused by an "intentional" act by thieves to steal fuel.
Friday's inferno came amid a major crackdown by the López Obrador administration, whose strategy has included diverting flows away from the pipelines most heavily targeted by thieves, and transporting fuel by trucks.
But the logistical changes have slowed fuel deliveries across the country, causing shortages at many service stations and resulting in long lines of cars at stations.
Fuel theft has been a longstanding problem in Mexico that, until recent years, was mostly written off by the government as a business cost, analysts said. But the problem began to worsen about a decade ago as organized crime groups started to diversify their criminal enterprises, including adding fuel theft to their portfolios.
Soaring international fuel prices made the crime particularly attractive. The crime groups co-opted officials at all levels of government using bribery and violence, and won support among impoverished local populations with a steady supply of low-cost black-market fuel and offers of relatively lucrative employment as lookouts and fuel couriers.
Much of the theft occurs through taps drilled under the cover of darkness into pipelines that carry fuel from the nation's ports and refineries to distribution centers across the country. Though much of the pipeline system runs underground, thieves operating in remote regions and doing quick work with shovels have been easily able to unearth the pipes. They have generally used high-powered drills to perforate the pipes, installing taps to siphon the fuel.
The problem has soared in recent years. During the first 10 months of last year, the authorities discovered more than 12,500 illegal taps — nearly double the number discovered in all of 2016 and more than 27 times the number a decade ago.
In a news conference on Saturday morning, Octavio Romero, the general director of Pemex, said that in the past three months, thieves had drilled at least 10 holes in the same pipeline that exploded on Friday, also causing fires.
"Oil theft does not only gravely affect our country's economy," Gov. Omar Fayad of Hidalgo said in an interview. "Today the state of Hidalgo is crying because of this tragedy, which has taken so many people's lives. Such regrettable events should never happen again in Mexico."
He announced on Saturday that the death toll had risen to 66 from 21 and suggested that the count could climb even higher.
"Many of the gravely wounded are battling between life and death," he said.
The governor also appealed to the public to help the authorities curb the fuel-theft epidemic, calling on Mexicans "to help us fight this widespread phenomenon and to stay away from pipelines that have been seized or ruptured."
Mr. López Obrador, who took office on Dec. 1, said about $3.14 billion in fuel had been drained from the system last year and sold on the black market. As part of the crackdown, he has deployed about 4,000 military and police personnel to guard the nation's fuel infrastructure.

Truth be told, Israel is one of the more active metal scenes in the Middle East (let's not get political here) alongside the likes of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey, the Gulf States (Bahrain and Kuwait; Qatar less so) and to a certain extent The Lebanon.
Salem, Orphaned Land, Arallu, Melechesh, they've all graced and kissed the golden sands of this Mediterranean nation, the latest to walk in their footsteps are Nothing Lies Beyond. A Melodic Death Metal force with enough ferocity about them to challenge the already-overloaded Swedish (nay Gothenburg) Metal scene.
So what makes this Israeli outfit an exciting one to watch? Well let's find out.
Guys in recent years the Israeli Metal scene has been flourishing and breaking international ground, what would you put this success to?
"Hey! I think that the reason that the Israeli metal scene is flourishing in the past 3-4 years and actually getting some recognition on the global ground is because there are more interest from the local bands to break into the global scene.
It's not something new of course, every band wants to get as much attention as possible, especially I think if you are living outside of the main music areas like the US and Europe, but the thing that helped us in the past years is mainly in my opinion, the whole digital era. There are more ways to bring your music to other people then there were before, when you needed in the past to send physical CD's or cassettes, now you can send a digital version of the album and of course the whole Facebook and YouTube platform.
So to summarize it, I think that because of the digital platforms, many Israeli bands and also as I said, bands that are not from the US or EU, can now reach new exposure levels.
Would it be right to say that metal music offers Israeli's a means of expressing discontent during dangerous times? E.g. war, attacks, etc. But also can metal music bring the world together regardless of social, political and religious differences?
"Well, you can say that the music that we make gives us a way to get our words out, about politics or any other difficulty that we face in our country.
But I can say the same thing about any kind of music from any part of the world. Music gives us a way to express our feelings and thoughts, no matter what separates us – religious, social status, political differences.. We can hear the music that somebody else created and just enjoy.
I don't know if metal music in specific, or any music for that matter can "bring the world together", but I'm sure that nobody would pay any attention to the artist's nation, religion, etc.. if the actual music is good for the listener.
Your debut album 'Fragile Reality' came out 22nd July, could you give us the background behind it and what your messages are?
"The album's main topic is the struggles that we have to face in our life, I think that "Closed In Chains" and also "Lost" are the songs with the lyrics that pronounce the idea behind "Fragile Reality" in the best way. We tried to present our music in the best way, and I think that the outcome was perfect."
How supportive is Israeli society of metal music, does the Government know about it? How hard is it for metal music to exist in the Middle East?
"I can say only our opinion about the whole Israeli's music preferences so maybe some people will think differently about the whole situation..
In my opinion, metal music is not so "big" in Israel, there were times that the crowd in shows was bigger and there were more local bands, but I think that it depends on the whole environment and "musical era" of the specific time..
Nowadays, people connect more to pop or electronic music because it's catchy, and in our country specific also for Middle Eastern style (not my cup of tea to be honest), so I do think that maybe in the 90's, the connection to metal music and the whole genres that it includes was bigger.
I think that metal music could exist in any place, as long as people keep listen to it. Maybe in some countries in the Middle East it's "forbidden" or something like that, but in Israel we can play as much as we want and whatever we want to play."
Will you be embarking on a European or 'Eurasian' tour to promote the album? Surely the UAE would be an ideal location as well as Israel in the Middle East?
"Actually, we are not planning to go on tour yet, there are some private issues that deny us from touring at this moment, but I do think that in the right time we will start planning our first tour.
We will try to play our music as much as we can and in any place that will be available, not only Europe (that is our main goal for now), but also maybe in Japan and other places in the East that in my opinion has great potential."
Talk to us more about the Israeli Metal scene, what festivals are there, clubs, markets, in fact what is a day like in Israel?
"OK, so first of all, the metal scene in Israel is not so big. There are many people who love metal music over here, but if you compare it to the numbers in Europe... It's really not so many.
Nevertheless, there are local producers that try to bring over here an international band every couple of months, so we do enjoy a variety of metal bands that come to Israel and perform. Regarding festivals and clubs... usually there aren't any festivals over here, not in metal anyway, we do enjoy the shows over here, but usually it consist of a local band as an opening act (as we were for Children of Bodom), and the headliner.
The clubs for metal are also few, as I said before, I know that in the early days there were more clubs that gave metal bands an opportunity, but one after the other they closed the gates and now there isn't as much as used to be.
In terms of the day here in Israel, it's pretty much the same as in any other place (only probably hotter haha)... we do live in a country that has its own problems, if it's local problems or international problems, but I think that every person here in Israel just try to live his life quietly as possible.
Is it true that Israeli's have to do service be it army, navy, air force? Have any of you done this?
Yes it's true. In Israel, when you turn 18 years old (not at the very moment... it could take up to a year until you can get recruited, but usually its at the age of 18), you are joining the army. For men its about 3 years and for women it's 2 years of service, they are changing it a little bit now but it will remain in the area of those numbers.
Usually everybody has to recruit to the army but you know..There are special cases sometimes. Alon and me already finished our service, and the rest of the guys are doing it now or about to start, we can't elaborate on what we did during our service but I can honestly say that this experience toughen us and made us ready for the "real world".
I do know some bands that the army torn apart because the band members couldn't meet on a regular basis due to their jobs... so it really depends on what you are doing in your own service.
What plans have you got for the rest of the year?
"We are now focusing mainly on the album release and all the things that it includes, if it's the CD release and after that we are planning a massive release show, so mainly this is what we are focusing on for the next 2-3 months. After the release show we will continue performing and maybe start planning our tour, and beside that we will start in early 2017 to work on the next album's music.
So it's going to be a busy year!"
Finally have you got any greetings you wish to send out?
"Well first of all, we want to thank you guys for the interview, it was a pleasure. We also want to thank all of our followers around the world for the support that they give to us. We hope to see everybody soon on stage and we hope that you will like our album."
Interview by GMA's Israel correspondent Liram Golibroda
Shredhead are a new wave Thrash Metal band from Israel and are considered one of the best new bands there. They started their music career together in 2009 as a Slayer and Megadeth cover band, a couple of years later they released their first album "Human Nature" and could be regarded as one of the best Israeli Thrash albums. In 2012 they went to the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle for Israel and now, just before releasing their new album, GMA spoke with Yotam and Lee about the band, the new album and well… if you want to know more just read the interview:
Line Up:
Ahron Ragoza - Vocals
Lee Levi - Bass
Roee Kahana - Drums
Yotam Nagor - Guitars
Hi guys, what are you working on now days?
We have just finished recording our new album, the album has been mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen who has worked with bands like Aborted, Betzefer, The Haunted and many more. And now we're getting prepared to send him to some record companies. Besides that, after we finished the new album we have already started writing for the next one, and also we're planning some shows in Israel.
How can you summarize everything from the beginning of the band up till the times after recording your second album?
We've been through a lot, starting with new members to setting our own style of music. It was a long process but nowadays we feel like we're strong and stable, and are all friends with those who enjoy playing together with us ever since the first day. We have had some amazing experiences that we couldn't even imagine ourselves achieving, such as the WOA metal battle and recording our second album.
How do you create new songs?
90% of the time, Yotam writes the riffs and tries to make them link together into a song, later on he sends the riffs to the rest of the band so we can work on it during future rehearsals and everyone gives their own style to the song. It can be with Kahana's drumming or Lee's bass playing and writing lyrics that will fit the song in the best way. In other cases we just improvise and hope for the best.
How does the new album different from "Human Nature"?
In every possible way! It the beginning we only searched for music that allowed us to be faster, more brutal and louder. When we started writing "Human Nature" we were just kids that loved playing with no music experience, but now a couple of years later after "Human Nature" we've all had some musical experience that made us better musicians. The new album is more aggressive and more melodic than "Human Nature", and the lyrics are more thoughtful and intimate.
Are you planning any surprises for us, maybe plans to go on tour?
We have a lot of plans, not only for the new album but also about where we'll stand next year as a band. Everything else is a secret. As for tours, we have a lot of plans and we hope everything will go on as planned.
What live show do you remember as the best one you have had up in till now?
Two weeks after we came back from WOA we celebrated one year since the release of "Human Nature". As with every Shredhead show we invited special guests, made some funny covers and even had a boxing fight between Lee and Ahron. In general that was a show that felt more like a huge party and it was great.
What can you reveal about your upcoming album and where can you see Shredhead in 5 years time?
The new album will include 11 aggressive songs and will feature this concept of an instrumental song before the last song just like in "Human Nature". The name of the album is "Death Is Righteous" and it describes what we've been through in our personal lives over the past two and a half years, and our understanding of why does death everyone deserves death.
As for looking five years ahead, we envisage it with a third or fourth album, non-stop tours and hopefully with music as our only career.
What is Shredhead for you?
Shredhead is the frame that holds our lives together, everything we are going through lately is for Shredhead, we work to support the band and we work hard to promote her. Meaning every second we have we put into the band as without Shredhead we are different people.
How could you define your music?
MMMMEEEETTAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!! People can describe our music as Thrash Metal or Groove Metal. We don't describe our music because we play what we love and believe in.
What is your message to the fans?
We want to thank every single person who supports the band, without you we would not exist and we would not have the strength to move on.
So here we go, I managed to catch up with Kobi Farhi of Israeli Oriental Metal legends Orphaned Land, bring the sounds of the Middle East to one website.

10/12/2011: Leaving Biarritz (reluctantly), we are heading northward along the coast. Decided our next port of call will be a small coastal town by the name of Saint Martin de Re, located on Ile de Re, and island off the coast from La Rochelle. Weather doesn't look too promising - cloudy, foggy and raining. Arrived at Ile de Ree at about 2pm. Looks like it will be everything we thought it would be.

The games industry, much like other creative businesses, depends on the principle of fair exchange between creators and audiences. It's an exchange that can be enumerated in dollars and cents of course, but there is a second very important ingredient as well: respect. In a perfect world, players respect creators by offering fair financial rewards for the craft, while creators respect their audiences with honest and interesting designs. Unfortunately, changing business practices in the AAA space are starting to strain this equilibrium, with influential developers and publishers pulling the industry towards increasingly player-hostile business practices. What can be done to steer away from this unhealthy trajectory? On Episode 39 of Vertical Slice we're grappling with this critically important issue, and offering our thoughts on how developers and publishers can do more to respect their players' time, money, and intelligence.
Show Notes
- Apple has become an influential first-mover in the push to reign in abusive loot box practices: games published in the App Store will now have to disclose the odds of obtaining particular items in randomized loot crates.
- Bungie continues to draw the ire of its core audience with the design of this year's "Dawning" event, which players charge is pointedly aimed at pushing the game's controversial loot boxes. Unlike seasonal events in most other games, players can only unlock a tiny fraction of the Dawning's time-limited items through in-game activities, with the balance only obtainable by purchasing randomized loot crates.

I haven't read any fanfic or RPGs for a while, but I get kind of pissy when I read a statement like, "I didn't read FF, so it's not canon for this story." I know that I'm one of the few people who really enjoys FF, but I don't feel like you can deny its role in the BSC canon. Plus, I feel like you're really missing out, because certain characters–Erica Blumberg, Woody Jefferson–have expanded roles in FF and become more than SMS seat fillers. So you're really missing out on some great characterizations, and the Alan and Claudia romance, and developments in Stacey's life…
You get the picture.
But if I'm going to say that every BSC book is canon, what about the movie and tv series? I have decided that the movie is not canon, one because Alan's crush on Dawn isn't mentioned anywhere else in the series and two because the "Secret Patrick Visit" plot is recycled in Kristy's Portrait. The TV show, I'm actually on the fence about. In Stacey and the Fashion Victim, Stacey mentions a prior "negative" experience with modeling. The only other "Stacey models" storyline I can think of is in Stacey's Big Break. Here is the quote from p. 8:
When [Mrs. Maslin] stopped for breath, I told her a little about the time I entered a modelling contest at Bellair's. I won, but it wasn't a great experience.
Are we to assume that this experience from the tv show is the one she is referring to? It does describe the plot of Stacey's Big Break down to the letter. If the writer was indeed referencing this episode, then the tv show becomes canon.
Your thoughts?

Four fire engines and 21 firefighters and officers were called to a fire at a shop and flats in Chigwell Road, Woodford Green this morning.
Part of a storeroom in the ground floor shop was damaged by fire.
Three people left the shop before the arrival of the Brigade. Another 10 people were evacuated from an adjoining shop and five adults and two children were evacuated from first floor flats.
There were no reports of any injuries.

Group question: Today we will take general questions from our group, which has come from all corners of the planet.
(Carla channeling)
We are those of Q'uo. Greetings in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. It is our privilege and our blessing to join this circle, and we thank each for seeking to discover that truth that lies within and for coming together to further this divine curiosity. For truly, there is wisdom in each, yet when those of seeking mind together ponder and together discuss that truth that lies within each often becomes more accessible from each to each as those who are seemingly not at all you pluck the truth out of the thicket within those things which you have said and thought. Truly, it is a help to have friends along the way and we are honored to be among those friends.
We believe that you wish this session to be question and answer and so we shall not give you a sermonette, as this instrument would call it, but simply remind each, as always, that we are not infallible. We have our limitations, and our opinions are just that. We greatly appreciate each seeker subjecting our thoughts and all others to the personal powers of discrimination that each has. We thank you for this great courtesy. We may begin with the first query.
K: Concerning what Christianity and other groups call the mind of God, I would like to know what is the mind of God? Does it exist?
We are those of Q'uo. There are various levels of sense to possible answers to your query. Firstly, upon the level of literal word for word reality, the mind of God, as many have termed the Godhead, shall we say, is not a thing but rather a construction of the human mind which is determined to inject space and time into considerations of that which is infinite and eternal.
Perhaps a more substantive response would be to suggest that all lies within the mind of God, shall we say. That is, all that you could name and all that you might forget to name and all things whatsoever remain one thing and that one is all that there is.
Thusly, you who ask the query are the mind of God. This instrument who channels the impressions which we offer her is the mind of God, and each and every bit of stuff there is is the mind of the Creator, for it is our impression that the creation is the Creator.
And this Creator is not confined or retained within an image or form but, rather, is an infinite intelligence, what many among your peoples have called the Logos and what we have often called Love. This great original Thought or Logos which is Love is then perhaps our closest suggestion to a concept which approaches that which you have suggested as the mind of God in that it contains within its concept all unmanifest and manifest creation. However, it is well to note that within the illusions which you call the densities each of you is the mind of God in potentiation and the work done within the densities is in great part clearing away the various levels of confusion for each seeker, and in third density this clearing away is the clearing away of each seeker's self-definitions so that each may find within itself more and more the willingness and the instinct to take upon the self the role of that Love, that Logos, which is the original Thought, realizing that within the illusions the only manifestation of this Logos shall come from your words and your hands.
May we answer you more fully, my brother?
K: Is the mind of God what you would call intelligent infinity?
We are those of Q'uo. This is so, although the reverse would not be so. May we answer you in another way, my brother?
K: I can't think of a way to pursue this at this time. I do have some questions of a historical nature that relates to Christianity. Can you answer these for me?
We are those of Q'uo. It is our specialty, shall we say, to address questions concerning tools and resources that may be helpful for seekers in a metaphysical sense, those who wish to accelerate the rate of change within their own spiritual evolution. When we receive questions that ask for specific information sometimes we cannot answer because we do not know; sometimes we cannot answer because there is infringement upon free will; and sometimes we chose not to answer or to answer in a limited way because to pursue a certain point would be to allow the tuning of the circle and the instrument to suffer. With these limitations understood we are glad to have at whatever you have to discuss, my brother.
K: I appreciate what you say, and with that in mind I will ask these questions and leave the answers up to you at your discretion.
Could you describe the nature of the resurrection body that Jesus appeared in after leaving the tomb?
We are those of Q'uo, and believe that we grasp your query. We look within this instrument's vocabulary for technical words which we might make use of but we find that terms such as electrical body, astral body, and Buddha body have been so often and so variously used that we cannot call the resurrection body, as you have called it, by one of these terms without expecting confusion. However, let us say that the body which rose and walked from a cave was that body which this entity and all entities inhabit when they have not become incarnate and they are yet within the inner planes. The closest we might come to a general description would then be the electrical body or the metaphysical body. It is a body which is far more densely filled with light and therefore is able to co-exist with the third-density illusion.
Most bodies of this type are never visible to those within third-density incarnation, mostly because the entities do not know how to so clothe themselves with third-density material that they may become visible. The body of the one known as Jesus during this time was that body from which his earthly body had been made, the pattern-making body, that is. And this pattern-making or electrical body was simply picked up and put on, shall we say, but with a degree of faith that created manifestation.
You may relate this kind of body to—we search this instrument's knowledge for the closest manifestation and find that this entity has seen the so-called psychic surgery and has seen such manifestations of electrical or form-making occurrences. They are indistinguishable from normal, physical, illusory bodies. However, their actual arena of living and working is within what we would call the metaphysical universe.
May we answer further, my brother?
K: Did you say that Jesus of Galilee never incarnated but merely took on a third-density body for his work? And, also, how would that relate to what happened on the Mountain of Transfiguration?
We are those of Q'uo. No, my brother, we did not suggest that the one known as Jesus had a birth in other than the usual way. We were saying, rather, that this entity picked up and put on the form-making or electrical body in a far quicker and more decisive frame of reference than is usual for those who have left third-density incarnation by death. This was done because the one known as Jesus was aware that it was going through the processes of death and it grasped ahead of time, shall we say, what its part was, and, therefore, the faith and surety that this entity had earned allowed it to move through this process as history [has] written it for your peoples.
Do you still wish to ask the remainder of your query?
K: I do, please.
The so-called transfiguration was an event that was important to those who saw it rather than the one known as Jesus. To the one known as Jesus there was simply that basking in the light. To those who gazed upon him at this time there was the fairly articulated manifestation of earlier prophets and teachers, each of which had a ceremonial structure created about it. This was created by the great desire of those disciples who saw this to understand more clearly where the one known as Jesus fit, shall we say, into the long-standing and respected teachings of their peoples.
K: Was there a UFO in the luminous cloud, or was there another meaning?
We are those of Q'uo, and we find that this instrument is aware of several luminous clouds. Do you speak of one specific instance, my brother?
K: Yes, the Bible speaks of a luminous cloud above Jesus on the Mountain of Transfiguration and a voice came out of the cloud, and I was wondering if this was a UFO or if this was a psychically projected voice, or did it not occur at all?
We are those of Q'uo. My brother, this was indeed a psychically projected manifestation and voice, yet it did occur, at the same time that it did not occur in terms of its being a flesh and blood creation rather than it being a thought form. In that particular instance there was no UFO.
Is there another query?
K: Were there two Yahwehs in the Old Testament? Or was there just one?
We are those of Q'uo. That which you have called Yahweh was, within the framework of the culture to which it came, as was understood then, God Itself. However, that personality which often was termed Jehovah or Yahweh was perhaps what you might call an angelic entity. This entity was responsible along with others for looking after the development of self-consciousness upon your planet and to aid in that development this entity chose to concern itself in the affairs of those within third density.
As the centuries passed and this very wise entity learned more about how to serve it chose to re-invent itself and did so along lines which created the possibility of the coming of the so-called Messiah. The Yahweh which many worshipped was the Creator rather than this personality. However, throughout most of the beginning, shall we say, or the Torah of the Old Testament the Jehovah character is a personality.
K: Then you are saying that there was just one entity that chose to reinvent himself and that there were not two entities, one a negative and one a positive?
We are those of Q'uo. This is correct, my brother.
K: Thank you. Could you speak again on the subject of how we are all one? Could you speak without analogies and speak to the heart of the matter—how are we all one?
We are those of Q'uo, and we are most happy to attempt to speak upon this subject so very dear to our hearts.
Let us begin with things known by this instrument from her school days. The illusion is that which is real to those upon your sphere and this illusion is created of that which you call atoms. These atoms are treated as though there were little particles that, put together, become things. However, no scientist has been able to see any mass or substance when gazing at atoms or particles thereof. All that science has discovered are various fields of energy, so that the one known as Carla is a field of a certain kind of energy. The one known as K, just such another, and so forth.
These various fields seem very real, yet scientists can explain that there is no mass involved, just an arrangement of energies. Each self-conscious person is an energy field, then, which vibrates at a certain complex of levels in a characteristic way. The metaphysical identity of each person is this complex of vibrations which is the signature of each evolving self-conscious entity. So, within your density it is impossible to see that there is no separation between the clothes and the body, the body and the seat, the seat and the chair, the chair and the floor, and so forth. All these things appear separate. However, in any sense beyond energy fields there is no separation.
Now, within the mind, within the thinking and the feeling, as the mind gazes upon the creation it thinks it sees many different things, yet there are certain entities who are able, because of great similarities between them and you, to transcend the apparent separation between them and you. And such entities have been those who have supported and strengthened you. The energies, then, that seemingly separate persons from persons are those dictated by the senses which your physical vehicles have. However, as we have pointed out, these senses sense illusion, an illusion which your scientists have penetrated.
May we answer you further, my brother?
K: At your own discretion, Q'uo.
We would at this time transfer this contact to the one known as Jim, thanking this instrument and this group and leaving it briefly. We are those of Q'uo.
(Jim channeling)
I am Q'uo, and greet each again in love and in light through this instrument. We would ask at this time if there might be any further queries from any within this circle of seeking.
Questioner: What can I do to help boost my mental, emotional and spiritual energies?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We would recommend, to begin, that you review those experiences in your past that have been helpful in the revitalizing of these energies. For many entities it is helpful to find those written words of inspiration which might remind one and in the reminding may aid one to adopt a larger perspective that brings the unity and harmony of all creation more into focus for the present moment experience. The songs of inspiration are also of aid in the same regard. {As] the moving within the season of the springtime begins to make itself felt within your illusion, there is much of inspiration and revitalization that is available from your second density. There are many entities of an inspirational nature that are hidden, shall we say, within each entity's daily round of activities. To keep the inner eye open in anticipation of such entities moving within one's own path is always helpful, for the guiding hands, shall we say, that are with each entity in an unseen manner will often take the opportunity to reawaken the passion for existence and the living of the life by moving one to cross the path of such entities in what seems to be a coincidental manner.
Is there a further query, my brother?
Questioner: No, thank you very much.
I am Q'uo, and we thank you, my brother.
P: Could you comment on the relation between space/time and time/space?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We hope that you realize that this is the topic which can fill volumes, my sister, for it is that which encompasses all that is. The illusion which you inhabit at this time is a reality which is constructed of the energy of love with many forms or personalities moving through the interaction and interplay of the Creator. Within this experience or classroom, shall we say, the emphasis of the Creator is upon the experience that is possible to be gained from those who momentarily create a situation in which they forget the basic truths of being and set for themselves the task with space/time of rediscovering these truths within the veil of forgetting, thus adding great weight of meaningfulness of such discoveries.
Thus, within space/time the plans created before incarnation, within the realms of time/space, are set into motion so that there is much self-awareness and awareness of all that can be gained by exploring the great darkness or seemingly so with the tiny candle of consciousness. The weight of the experience within space/time is more upon the shoulders of space so that there is movement there more possible than in the more inflexible time as it moves, or shall we say more correctly, as it is perceived in its linear fashion.
Within the realm of time/space the weight is more on the shoulders of time where more flexibility is there appreciated, movement in time being as easily accomplished as movement in space within the physical space/time illusion. Thus, the freedom and wider perspective of time/space offers the more fully experienced presence of the one infinite Creator but with less, shall we say, ability to progress along a path which is more obviously unified than is possible upon a path which is seemingly less unified as it is within the space/time illusion.
Is there any further query, my sister?
P: Am I correct in thinking that our conscious mind is in space/time and the subconscious is in time/space? Is the veil of forgetting what separates the two?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The veil of forgetting is a phenomenon which is occurring and is utilized only within the third density so that a choice of paths might be made at this point in the evolutionary path. Thus, the existence of a divided mind, that which is conscious and that which is below or subconscious, is possible only with the veil of forgetting in place which occurs, as we have mentioned, only within the third density.
Is there a further query, my sister?
P: You still didn't answer if the conscious memory is in space/time and the subconscious resides in time/space.
I am Q'uo, and believe that we grasp your query, my sister. Though it is somewhat difficult to answer in a concrete fashion, we would suggest that your assumption is in large part correct. Although it is also possible for those who are trained to travel in time/space to do so in a conscious fashion.
P: Two more questions. To do conscious work in the subconscious is what we call the sorcerer's tradition. Is it necessary for third-density people to be able to do that work?
I am Q'uo, and believe that we grasp your query, my sister. It is not necessary for third-density entities to be able to move consciously within the subconscious realms of their own minds or the time/space realms of their local creation in order to be able to be graduated from this third-density illusion to the fourth. What is necessary for such a graduation is that the entity be desirous of serving others in a loving and compassionate manner, more in a percentage, shall we say, than it desires to serve itself.
P: As we move from the third density to the fourth do we move from the present space/time into a time/space continuum?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would suggest the pondering of the densities containing space/time and time/space from the third density through the latter portions of the sixth density so that there are experiences which can be seen as incarnational and experiences which may be seen as pre- and post-incarnational as well within each of these densities.
P: No, thank you.
I am Q'uo, and we thank you once again. Is there another query at this time?
R: Sometimes I share an inspirational image with you and I wonder if you are actually able to share it or is this just some kind of mind construct that I put together?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. When a gift is offered to us it is as a calling to us and we are there and appreciate the sharing which you so generously offer and [which] gives us a taste, shall we say, of your experience that we would not have without your dedication of it to us.
Is there a further query?
R: No, thank you.
I am Q'uo. We thank you for your gift, my brother. Is there another query at this time?
P: Sometimes we receive voices, inspirations, etc. and sometimes they are of the ego and not true. How can we determine the true voices of the Creator?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. We would recommend that you find that place of peace within you, whether you utilize meditation, prayer or contemplation, that you move within to that sacred room and await there the answer until it comes.
I am Q'uo, and again we thank you. Is there a final query at this time?
Carla: I seem to have been blessed with the desire to do a whole lot more than I can do. Do you have any comments on this situation?
I am Q'uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. As we observe the well-known and well-stated preincarnative predisposition to activity and observe the choices made for the incarnation which were for the purpose of dealing with this very issue, we see now that the choices have been made conscious and you have before you much of that which you had before you before this incarnation. Thus, you are in a place of total free will where all that you desire to do lies before you as flowers in a garden, to be picked or sniffed for scent and left as they are.
Again, that meditative state is that place wherein the greatest clarity for each seeker is possible to be achieved and we would recommend that you make a time for this consideration that would coincide with a rebirthing ritual that [is] much like unto the springtime season that moves within your local environment at this time. And during this time of contemplation, prayerful thought, and the gaining of a sense of the self reborn, we would suggest that this is a means by which the subconscious mind might be alerted to the desire to know more of what is appropriate for this time for your experience within the illusion.
Carla: No, thank you.
I am Q'uo, and thank you once again, my sister.
We would take this opportunity to express our great joy and gratitude to each within this circle of seeking for inviting us this day and for giving us the gift of your queries, your concerns, and your desire to know that which is helpful on your journeys of seeking. We move with you on this journey and appreciate the desire that fuels each present and salute it as that force of motivation that is most important within each seeker's journey, not so much each experience or thought but the process of the seeking seen as a pattern, as a purpose, as a direction.
We are those of Q'uo, and would at this time take our leave of this instrument and this group, leaving each, as always, in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator. Adonai, my friends. Adonai.

When this happens, it is possible for errors to occur. Unfortunately, a prescription error can have catastrophic consequences.
Prescription errors can be caused by any number of circumstances, including:
If you or a loved one has suffered extended injury or illness due to a prescription error, schedule a free consultation with a medical malpractice lawyer at our firm. We can advise you on the best course of action.
Prescription medication is extremely strong and can cause a number of side-effects upon consumption. However, when more than one type of medication is taken, the drugs themselves can interact and cause severe effects. In these situations, it is the responsibility of the doctor and pharmacist to ensure that there will not be a dangerous drug interaction.
Some of the symptoms of dangerous drug interactions include:
There a number of issues that can lead to dangerous reactions to prescription drugs. For example, if a doctor prescribes a drug that you are allergic to, your life might be in danger. If you were prescribed a drug that had a dangerous interaction with a medication you were already taking, prescription errors or negligence may have occurred. It is crucial that you get legal help during this time. Our experienced advocates can listen to the facts of your case and provide the insightful counsel you need.

Verizon Wireless is reportedly readying an update for Galaxy Nexus devices on its network. Last night, the company's Twitter support handle sent a tweet to a concerned Galaxy Nexus user as response to a question regarding the possibility of a software update. While the company didn't tweet an actual release date, it did say that the update is coming "soon" and that it will be pushed to users from Samsung over-the-air. We've embedded the tweet below.
ianxcom1 Good question! Samsung will push the update directly to your device over the air. Sorry, no release date. But, it will be soon.^LH
— VZW Support (@VZWSupport) February 28, 2013
Even though Verizon support didn't say exactly what was down the pipeline, we're pretty sure that the company was referring to an Android 4.2 update for the LTE Galaxy Nexus in its tweet. Galaxy Nexus users on Verizon have been awaiting this update for quite sometime.
The LTE Galaxy Nexus and the unlocked Galaxy Nexus devices have been weird when it comes to software updates. While the unlocked, GSM Galaxy Nexus has been updated to new software as its released, the LTE model has been lagging behind. The LTE Galaxy Nexus hasn't been updated to Android 4.2 even though the update has been available for other Nexus devices since November of 2012.

World Watch – A study published in the December 1998 Bulletin of the American Meterological Society suggests that long-term climate patterns could result in droughts of unprecedented severity in the United States. Records show that droughts like the seven-year dust bowl of the 1930s occur in our country about twice a century, according to Connie Woodhouse and Jonathan Overpick of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There also exists a historic pattern of droughts that last for decades, the last two being recorded in the 16th and 12th Centuries. Severe droughts ?could recur in the future, leading to a disaster of a dimension unprecedented in the twentieth century.? Erosion caused by planting of marginal areas could hasten this process. In addition scientific models show that green house gasses cause ?a marked increase in the frequency and duration of extreme droughts.?

Rocky Mountain Gun Club
The Defensive Fighting Handgun I (DFH1) is ideal for anyone of any skill level to learn safe handgun handling and use when fighting for life itself while under the stress inherent in such a fight.
We will start at 2 pm.
The DFH1 consists of learning or improving a natural, neutral fighting stance, proper and safe handling, draw stroke, loading correctly, recoil management, intuitive unsighted and sighted fire, and far more, ultimately creating combat accuracy while building speed and efficiency that works well with what the body does naturally when under fear and high stress.
Our students leave the range with realistic defensive fighting knowledge and skills, as well as having a great time. Get a friend to come along, it will only enhance what you learn!
Needed items:
– Handgun
– reliable holster & sturdy belt (Blackhawk Serpa holsters or similar such holsters are banned due to their dangers)
– approximately 350 – 500 rounds of ammo (for semi-auto's), or 250 – 350 rounds of ammo (for revolvers) – yes, that much; this is a real fighting handgun course.
– three (3) magazines per semi-automatic handgun
– eye and ear protection
– any non-alcoholic beverage and food you'd like
If you have questions about using or finding a handgun and the needed accessories, please contact me as soon as possible to arrange help in picking one or ideas for the correct type of handgun best used for a dynamic defensive situation.
If you do not have a handgun but plan on purchasing one before the class, please contact Defenders USA first, if at all possible. We might be able to rent out a handgun or two for those who need to use one. We will be able to help in the selection of a proper defensive handgun that is a quality, efficient defensive handgun versus what is often pushed by the gun-counter sales folks at the vast majority of gun stores, or by the many other low-quality CCW courses, or that is usually recommended by others who do not understand defensive handguns as well as they usually believe.
The students will be doing a lot of moving so comfortable clothing with belt support is needed.
Please be open-minded, especially those who already have been through some training somewhere. This is usually easy for those who've had little or no previous handgun training, so no issues there. But, if you've had some training somewhere else, please put any ego and former training habits aside enough to come learn. The vast majority of "gun people", military personnel, and law enforcement who attend this training are almost always surprised in this training, finding it to be above and beyond what they've been through so far. And those with former firearms training will often find the techniques they'd previously ingrained are less efficient than what is actually needed. Come as an open book and willing to be challenged and to learn.
Registration are closed for this event.

Animals and Animality in the Babylonian Talmud
Cambridge, England:Cambridge University Press, April2018.240 pages.$75.00.Hardcover.ISBN9781108423663.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Aaron Gross forthcoming.
Animals and Animality in the Babylonian Talmud selects key themes in animal studies - animal intelligence, morality, sexuality, suffering, danger, personhood - and explores their development in the Babylonian Talmud. Beth A. Berkowitz demonstrates that distinctive features of the Talmud - the new literary genre, the convergence of Jewish, Christian, and Zoroastrian cultures, the Talmud's remove from Temple-centered biblical Israel - led to unprecedented possibilities within Jewish culture for conceptualizing animals and animality. She explores their development in the Babylonian Talmud, showing how it is ripe for reading with a critical animal studies perspective. When we do, we find waiting for us a multi-layered, surprisingly self-aware discourse about animals as well as about the anthropocentrism that infuses human relationships with them. For readers of religion, Judaism, and animal studies, her book offers new perspectives on animals from the vantage point of the ancient rabbis.

Hawaii students can go star hunting in a worldwide program to assess the quality of the night sky.
"This is an excellent activity that can be led by a classroom teacher or can be a family activity at home," said astronomer Richard Wainscoat at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy.
He said the GLOBE at Night Program is appropriate for children from kindergarten to 12th grade and addresses many of the nation's educational standards, including science, mathematics and the environment.
Participants will observe and record the magnitude, or brightness, of visible stars as a way of measuring light pollution in a given location.
Wainscoat said children who participate in the GLOBE activity will be able to learn a little about astronomy and light pollution.
"Light pollution has grown slowly, and many people do not realize how severely it hinders their view of the night sky until they travel outside of their town to a place that has a very dark sky (such as the Big Island)," he said.
The UH and Sierra Club, Hawaii Chapter, are supporting proposed legislation (House Bill 1835, HD 1) to reduce pollution of Hawaii's skies by requiring the state Transportation Department to use fully shielded lighting fixtures.
Maui and Hawaii County ordinances have stringent standards for lighting to protect observatories on Mauna Kea and Haleakala, the House Transportation Committee said in approving the bill.
Nonetheless, it said, "Light from airports and harbors, as well as light from Oahu, is threatening the ability of the observatories to study faint objects in the night sky."
The GLOBE Web site notes that outdoor lighting has increased with the population.
"Lights, contrast and glare all impact the number of stars that are visible in a given location," it says. "Only the brightest stars are visible when there is a lot of nighttime lighting."
Student observers in the GLOBE at Night Program will learn about latitude and longitude, how to locate the constellation Orion, recognize star patterns in the sky and report and analyze their observations, Wainscoat said.
"They will take part in a worldwide exercise and be able to see and compare their observations with observations taken by children all over the world."
The program is relevant to Hawaii students because some of the world's premier observatories are on the Big Island and Maui, Wainscoat pointed out.
Big Island students likely will record a darker sky than Oahu students because of the lighting ordinance that has protected astronomical research on Mauna Kea, he said.
Other sponsors of the week-long GLOBE at Night Program are the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, Windows to the Universe, CADIAS (an astronomy teaching support center in La Serena, Chile) and ESRI, which makes geographic information system software and instructional materials.

I'll never forget one of the things that Paul David Tripp said in one of the sessions. He made the statement that, as parents, we are either helping to guide our kids toward God and His will or we're standing in the way. There is no neutral.
Ya'll, I'll just admit it. That is convicting. I'm sure there are many, many times when my own selfishness and my own goals and my own ideas get in the way of pointing my kids to God. That idea has caused me, more than once, to pause and reconsider what I'm doing or to convict me of my attitude in a parenting situation.
{We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Occasionally posts contains other affiliate links as well.}We purchased a few books by Paul David Tripp that day. One was Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide to Parenting Teens. That book is filled with practical, godly wisdom for parenting tweens and teens, and we learned much from it. Now I've had the opportunity to read Tripp's newest book- Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family. And the title of this post isn't an exaggeration. You don't want to miss this parenting book. Even if you think you have it all together- and I'll confess that on a good day, I have the mistaken idea that I'm doing okay and might actually have this parenting thing down, although on other days I'm pretty sure that I've screwed up these children irreparably- you need to read this book.
What's in the book?
In this book, Paul David Tripp is sharing, not so much practical advice for specific parenting situations, but the need for a shift in our parenting worldview. Specifically he's encouraging parents to look at parenting as an ambassadorship, not an ownership.
As owners, our identity is tied up in our kids; we pour all of our work into trying to make this perfect (to our standards) kid who is going to prove our worth, prove that we've done this parenting thing right. That's a lot of pressure ya'll- on us and on our kids.
But as ambassador, we realize that we don't own these kids. They belong to God. And, as good ambassadors, our job is to point them always to Him. As we do this, we seek God's plan for them, not ours. We put our hope in God's work, not in ours. Our worth isn't tied up in what becomes of our kids because that's all God's work, not ours. Isn't that a very freeing shift in worldview?
14 Gospel PrinciplesThroughout the book, Tripp shares fourteen principles from the gospel, related to different aspects of parenting.
- Calling
- Grace
- Law
- Inability
- Identity
- Process
- Love
- Authority
- Foolishness
- Character
- False Gods
- Control
- Rest
- Mercy
Why a worldview shift?
Very little of our parenting takes place in grand significant moments that have stopped us in our tracks and commanded our full attention; parenting takes place on the fly, when we're not really paying attention and are greeted with things that we did not know we were going to be dealing with that day.The reason we need a shift in our parenting worldview is because we can't plan for every moment, for every situation that might arise in our parenting. But if our worldview is that of being ambassadors for Christ in the lives of our kids, the decisions we make, the statements we make, the way we act in those little moment by moment situations will be grounded in that truth.
Why read this one book?I think it's valuable to read practical parenting books. I've read some great ones. I've reviewed some great ones here. But if you don't read anything else, read this book.
Your parenting worldview will be challenged. You'll be encouraged to evaluate how you view your parenting. And you'll have a basis, a foundation for day to day, moment by moment parenting.

Depth Charge Emergency Ejection System
Prepping blueprints for expansion...
Depth Charge Emergency Ejection System is a stub and needs your help. You can help by expanding it.
Please refer to the talk page for further discussion.
The Depth Charge Emergency Ejection System is a GDI system developed to deal with a critical weakness in the GDI;Mastodon. The Mastodon's main weapon, though deadly, had a rather limited forward firing arc, meaning it is unable to retaliate against swift foes who closed in on its flanks or rear. This was partially offset by deploying Mastodons in groups where they can provide overlapping fire for each other.
As a safeguard, GDI developed the Depth Charge Emergency Ejection System. The system was meant to be utilised in the event that the Mastodon was isolated and surrounded. When activated, it ejected explosive shells from the Mastodon's flanks which dealt massive damage to any nearby enemies but not the Mastodon itself thanks to the heavy armor of the Mastodon's legs. This proved effective at discouraging such tactics and increasing the Mastodon's survivability.[1]

Brand New Shoes
by Cindee Snider Re
3/30/2010 / Devotionals
Early one spring morning, my daughter Sarah noticed our neighbor at work in his garden. "Mom," she asked, "Can I go help?"
"Absolutely," I answered. Sarah, my oldest daughter and exact middle child (two older brothers, two younger sisters), is easy-going, capable, willing, helpful, and generous. She enjoys the outdoors, doesn't mind hard work, and isn't afraid of a little dirt.
On her way out the door, Sarah blew me a kiss, grabbed her water bottle from the fridge and her work gloves from the garage, and ran down the hill to our neighbor's garden, where they worked side by side all morning. About noon, I rang the old ship's bell outside our back door to call my daughter home for lunch. Before long I saw her long blond ponytail swinging in the sun as she crested the hill then her feet appeared - two rich black, well-composted, freshly tilled clods of early spring mud. I started to smile then gasped as four bright white, plastic coated shoelace ends caught my eye. My daughter had just spent the entire morning roto-tilling in brand new, white leather tennis shoes!
I stood rooted to the deck, incoherent thoughts swirling through my brain demanding to be spoken. "What were you thinking?" I wanted to shout straight across the yard and right into my daughter's twelve year old ears. "Never in a hundred million years will those shoes EVER be white again!"
"A hundred million years?" a voice calmly questioned at the back of my mind.
"Those are brand new tennis shoes!" I shot back.
"Yes," the voice returned. "Now look at your daughter."
"I am!"
"Not at her shoes, at her face."
In frustration, I tore my eyes away from Sarah's mud soaked shoes and glued them to her face, and my breath caught in my throat. "Oh!" My daughter was radiant; dirty, but beaming, her blue eyes shining. "Father, forgive me," I prayed. "I nearly missed You in this moment, focused more on a little dirt than on Your Hand at work in my daughter's life, so consumed with the finite, the earthly, a child's mistake, that I nearly missed the eternal, the important, the infinite, You. How could I care more about temporary, man-made, inconsequential material objects than about my daughter's soul?
Ouch! "Lord, I don't want to miss You in these moments, missing the abundant life You offer, because I settle for the world instead of seeking first Your Kingdom. In Your Kingdom, Sarah's mistake isn't costly. In Your Kingdom, she chose well, because she chose to love her neighbor as herself, pouring out her time and energy to help another, ultimately choosing You. Sarah's shoes may be dirty, but her soul is shining, and in her simple, selfless act of kindness, Your love once more pierced the darkness of this fallen world, infusing it with hope. Thank you for the unexpected blessing of my daughter's dirty shoes, for stopping me in the moment, opening my eyes to see, my ears to hear, and my soul to see this moment through Your eternal perspective. What a gift! Amen."
