Lady Luxor Review
Lady Luxor is a single-payline, three-reel fruit machine that allows you to bet one coin at a time. The game has an Egyptian theme based on the city of Luxor and Cleopatra. It has a tan background and icon designs comprised of various fruits, mummies and other Egyptian symbols. You can only bet one coin at a time, and the permitted coin denominations have a greater range than in most single-payline slot games.
The top jackpot is $5,000, or 500 times whatever your trigger bet is, putting it in the medium range for machine payouts. Because it is a fruit machine, you can hold and nudge combinations on the reels. Though its payout isn't spectacular, Lady Luxor is a fruit machine that is fun and easy to play.
You can bet one coin at a time on the sole payline, but you can vary your coin sizes according to your playing preferences and bankroll size. The minimum coin size is 10 cents, which would be high for a five-reel game but is actually low for a three-reel game. The maximum size for a coin in Lady Luxor is $10.
The payouts in Lady Luxor are relatively simple because there is only one payline and you can only bet one coin at a time. The top jackpot is 500 coins, which comes out to $5,000 if you bet the maximum. However, if you were to bet 10 cents, the jackpot would be $50. As such, it is important to choose a coin denomination that will pay off handsomely in the event of a jackpot.
Holding and nudging in Lady Luxor works the same way as in any other fruit machine. When you have a combination on the reels that is almost a win, you can hold part of the combination and nudge the remaining reel for a second shot at winning. You have to pay a small amount in order to hold and nudge, but doing so is worth it when there is a lot of money on the line.Play This Game With a Free Bonus !!

These past few weeks have been so crazy, we moved into a new place, Chloe celebrated her 6 months- yay!, and work has been keeping me super busy. I never knew it before, but I have so much more respect for all mothers, raising children is a full-time job in itself, every mommy is a working mommy.
Balancing mommyhood and a 9-to-5 job can be really exhausting at times. I'm not going to lie, my style has slightly changed to compliment my new lifestyle, I'm more drawn to comfy clothes, like loose tops and comfy pants. I really need to dust off my heels from my closet, but I don't want to risk tripping!
Chloe and I on our short shopping trip.
Strollers are such a huge part of our lives now, and I've grown to love our Nuna PIPA Car Seat, it's perfect when going places for short times since it fits perfectly with our Nuna IVVI Stroller body, clicks in and out smoothly and shortens our time in and out of the car.

There are all kinds of people who would like to dress better. But, sometimes fashion can be complicated to get into because there are a lot of things you need to understand about it. Thankfully, the advice below should make the world of fashion a little easier for you to understand.
Sheer clothing can be sexy, but it is important that it is not too sheer. Sheer clothing in the wrong areas can turn your sexy look into a brassy one.
Dress jeans up by wearing a dressy shirt and heels. Jeans in a different color are more appropriate for more casual occasions.
When applying mascara, you shouldn't slide the brush into and back out of the tube. Doing this actually does not put more on the brush, but it does trap air molecules within the bottle. Then you risk the chance of bacterial growth. To thoroughly coat the brush, loosen the cap and try spinning the applicator brush to the left and right within the tube before removing it completely for application.
Dark Colors
If you are a full figured individual, purchase clothing in dark colors, such as black and navy; they help slim the figure. Dark colors slim you down by causing the eyes to go to your jewelry and accessories. Also, elastic waistbands for your skirt offers more comfort.
When deciding your style, try to find the appropriate fit for your personality. Do you know anyone who is truly perfect? The object is to try to maintain a look with elegance and flair, to appeal to your attributes. Some of the most successful fashion models have had at least one flaw, such as a long forehead or a gap between the teeth.
For all kinds of shoe styles, wedged heels are hot. These shoes can make you appear slimmer and taller. If you decide to buy a pair of these trendy shoes, try them on at the store. You don't want them too thick for you to walk comfortably.
Subscribe to a fashion newsletter of some sort so that you are up to date with some of the latest fashion trends. This will help you stay on top of the constantly changing world of fashion.
If you are a woman, there are several key items that you must acquire. Two pair of slacks, a single pair of jeans hemmed for sneakers, and one hemmed for heels. For a wide variety of special events, the perfect little black dress is a must.
Mousse is a great way to volumize thin hair, but be moderate. Really huge, high hair that was popular during the 80s might be in style, but it's difficult to pull off and often leads to an unflattering look.
As this article taught you in the beginning, it can be difficult to look great because you may not know too much about the world of fashion. However, you now have gone through the article here and understand fashion quite a bit more. The tips and ideas here are great start to becoming a fashion guru!

The 131 Preview Review is pleased to welcome BACK
Author Lynette Sofras.
Until two years ago, Lynette worked as a teacher, running the English Department of a busy London secondary school. Prior to that she spent several years living and teaching in Greece. She gave up teaching to focus on the writing and has published three contemporary romances. The Apple Tree (December 2011), which won the grand prize in Inspired Romance Novels' writing contest; Wishful Thinking (April 2012), and Shopping for Love (June 2012). In Loving Hate (November 2012) was her first Romantic suspense. Killing Jenna Crane (January 2013) is a slight genre departure for Lynette- a psychological drama/ suspense.
Lynette lives with her family in an early Victorian cottage in a historic village on the Surrey/London borders. When not writing, she is an avid reader, loves catching up with friends, films and theatre, or trying to tame her garden and the family's rather eccentric cat.
After working with Lynette Sofras back in February for the first time I am so very pleased to have a chance to chat with her again, this time it is after having read her genera bending Thriller Killing Jenna Crane. Come in an sit as I chat far more comfortably with my Friend from across the Pond....

Save The Color In Your Colorful Run Race T-Shirt
Let the Color Powder stay in your race shirt!
Whether you participate in a city-wide color 5k, a fundraising color war, or simply backyard color toss; you'll want the memories to last longer than the green in your hair. ?
One great way to keep the memories alive is to create a keepsake from your color splashed uniform. Although it is easy enough to wash out, you have the option to keep the color powder on your t-shirt and save the colorful evidence and you can continue to wear that color like a badge of honor!
Simple steps to make color run powder stay on a shirt and keep the memories:
1) Promptly change out of your colored gear and do not shake off excess color:
The more you move, the color powder dusts off the fabric, so limit your dancing till after you change into some clean clothes. Gently place your shirt in a bag till you get home for the color setting process.
2) Lay shirt flat and spray to soak with white vinegar:
Spray generously, (and we mean really soak it) and be aware that the colors may blend and bleed together as the fabric becomes wet. The strength of the vinegar can also fade the screen print, but we think it looks kinda vintage (and that's hip right now, right?).
3) Keep the t-shirt flat to dry and iron with high heat:
If you hang when still wet, gravity will bring all the colors to the bottom and turn them to a muddy brown. Instead, keep flat till dry, then place a rag between the shirt and the iron to set the color with heat.
4) Toss in the dryer:
As a final assurance to set the color, I turned the shirt inside out and threw it in the dryer on high heat for about 10 minutes.
6) Wash and wear:
Some color warriors frame their race-wear and display the colorful gear like a trophy. Others want to wear it out in the world as a conversation garment! Be aware that with each wash, the color can fade, but it will always have a colorful glow after you have set the dyes as described above.

Basketball is a game of second chances, all right.
For Aiea, a second chance is coming in the nick of time. The Oahu Interscholastic Association ruled yesterday that Thompson Academy used an ineligible player in a playoff win over Aiea on Saturday.
That means that Aiea, not Thompson, has advanced to the OIA White Conference semifinals. Aiea will face Farrington tonight at 6:30 after a 5 p.m. matchup between McKinley and Kaiser. Both semifinal games will be played at Kaiser.
Aiea and Thompson were in a quandary for the past few days, unsure of what the league would rule. With league officials and school representatives meeting with OIA executive director Dwight Toyama late yesterday afternoon, Aiea coach Wyatt Tau decided to take a deep breath and relax.
The league ruled that the ineligible player, who was on the roster of Word of Life at the start of the season, should not have been permitted to play for Thompson.
The player scored one point in Thompson's 62-60 win, leaving the Sharks and coach Sol Batoon all the more disappointed with the turn of events.
"It was avoidable because I asked the question for two weeks: 'Is he eligible?' and they said yes," said Batoon, who still did not play the transfer player until the playoff game.
"He's not a good offensive player, but he works hard and he could help us a little bit. He's not a threat to anything," Batoon added.
The way the information about the ineligible player came about is another bizarre twist.
"All of this only came about because one of the Thompson parents was complaining. She came to us after the game," Tau said. "She wanted us to do something about it because her son wasn't playing after the new guy joined their team. We were just gonna take the loss, but she came up to us. She said if we're not gonna do nothing about it, she's gonna do something."
The league was investigating the postgame incidents between Aiea fans and Thompson players, and fans of both teams, when the topic of the ineligible player surfaced. In the meantime, Aiea considered the season done.
"I put everything away on Sunday," said Tau, a first-year varsity head coach.
Word got out to both schools before 6 p.m. yesterday. Aiea, 10-1 entering the playoffs, went back on the hardwood and had one of its best practice sessions of the season.
Thompson was 5-7 and a No. 4 seed entering the postseason. The Sharks' Cinderella dreams after winning their first playoff game ever, were crushed. Batoon chalked it up to administrative inexperience.
"At this level, when you have a program that's rolling in a positive way, you gotta make sure everything behind the scenes is correct," he said.
For Aiea, a team with several members of the football squad, the second chance is two-fold. On the gridiron, untimely injuries played a role in their short run in the postseason.
"It's funny because me, Eric (James), Miah (Tausaga), Ryan (Mora) and Alan (Fonoti) were talking about everything that happened with football. We couldn't do it this football season. We want to end this season with something," Liilii said. "Today's practice, we were pretty focused. There was less playing around and everybody was pushing each other to play their best.
"Now that we get our second chance, everything that's happened doesn't really matter now," he added.
"Everything" also refers to the postgame fracas that marred the game. The incident that moved outside the gym involved spectators -- adults -- and Batoon said it is probable that charges will be made by the Thompson fans who were part of the clash.
"The other part to this madness is there was a riot started by Aiea, attacking players, fans. My fans were just elated about winning the game. I got them (my players) into the locker room before anybody got hurt," Batoon said. "Aiea got no punishment. They got rewarded. We're talking in forked tongues here."
Tau apologized to the Thompson team after the game in their locker room, he said, noting that video provided by Thompson at yesterday's meeting revealed Aiea coaches trying to prevent trouble.
"The video (from Thompson) that they showed at the meeting showed our coaches trying to move our players off the court," Tau said.
Batoon is still not at peace.
"I would've felt better if both teams were suspended. One, because of the riot that they caused, and two, because of the technicality on our side," he said. "I feel bad for our players. They worked hard all year. They were two, three points away in every game they played. They could've gone undefeated."
For Aiea, the uniforms are back out and Na Alii have another opportunity.
"We need to refocus. I think we took (Thompson) lightly because we beat them earlier," Tau said. "Regular season and postseason is a different mentality. I think our kids, and myself as a coach, took them for granted."
Aiea, which plays a run-and-gun style of ball, did its usual early substitutions. Despite an 18-point lead, Tau thinks he should have kept his starters in longer.
"You gotta give Thompson credit. They played a great fourth quarter," he said.
Though Aiea was scheduled to host all White Conference games as long as it won, the league had already moved the semifinals to Kaiser. Aiea did not protest the change in site.

Holiday Gift Guide for the MMA Fan
It's no secret that mixed martial arts, otherwise deemed MMA has grown exponentially over the course of the past few years and has certainly shown very little signs of slowing down if any. It has rightfully been called, "the fastest growing sport" in the world, where the landscape of combats sports has been altered for both the new and older generations of fight fans. With the success of the UFC bringing MMA into mainstream culture, it's a no brainer that there will be a plethora of fights fans wishing for fight related parcels under the tree this holiday season. Let's explore a few of the gifts that may satisfy that MMA wish list:
#1 - Fight Clothing/Training Attire
The most obvious choice for the average MMA fan this holiday season is any article of clothing associated with their favourite fighters. Items like T-Shirts, Fight Shorts, Training Attire, etc. would most definitely be welcome this holiday season. Notable companies that sponsor a variety of fighters include Affliction, Silverstar, Xtreme Couture, Mark Ecko, etc. These companies carry an array of fighter T-Shirts, shorts and even casual attire such as jeans and thermals. MMA superstar and UFC welterweight champion George St.Pierre has sporting company Under Armour as one of his major sponsors. One may want to consider picking up the dri-fit body fitted training attire for those that enjoy exercise or train some form of MMA.
#2 - Tickets
This one could certainly be difficult as tickets can be hard to get a hold of. If you're lucky enough to have access to MMA tickets, one may want to consider picking up some tickets to see the fights live. There really isn't anything like watching a live UFC event for those who have yet to attend one. Prices do vary depending on the fight venue and who's fighting on the card, but if you're privileged to get an opportunity at tickets, it's definitely worth considering and will put an everlasting smile on that special persons face.
#3 - Training Gear
Training gear is a gift to consider for those who enjoy training in the different forms of MMA. As MMA is built on a variety of fight disciplines including Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Judo, Boxing and Wrestling it leaves a wide array of options available. Prices for these vary substantially so one should be aware of that depending on their budget this holiday season. A few items to note include boxing gloves, hand wraps, Gi's (for Jiu Jitsu), heavy bags, etc.
#4 - Fight DVD's
A collection of DVD's featuring some of the greatest MMA fights could be the perfect present this holiday season. The UFC has a large library of DVD's available that date back to the very first UFC ever aired on pay per view. Other fight DVD's available include Pride, Strikeforce, Sengoku, K-1 kickboxing, etc. These are typically great presents with a relatively low-cost associated with them.
#5 – MMA Videogames
For the fans that are gamers, there are a few MMA games out there that could be just the answer this holiday season. The popular UFC Undisputed series has two games already out and a third on the horizon. EA sports also have an MMA game available, featuring a large roster of today's MMA superstars. Another great gift idea for the MMA fan who's also a game at heart.
Whatever your budget is this holiday season, just keep in mind that with the overwhelming popularity of MMA, it's easy to find something for that MMA fan this holiday season.

Preparing for my first performance of all 10 Caprices for Solo Violin by Sonia Eckhardt-Gramatté, at The Banff Centre, February 2018. I performed the Caprices in front of a visual slideshow of photos, paintings and other memorabilia, journeying through Sonia's life, giving the audience the chance to get to know this extraordinary woman while hearing her music performed!

The piece of art that serves as the backdrop to this poster is a painting by Walter Gramatté, Sonia's first husband. He created many interesting paintings of Sonia during their years together.
Recording day one: I recorded all 10 of Sonia Eckhardt-Grammatté's Solo Violin Caprices at The Banff Centre, February 2018.
With two-thirds of my brilliant recording engineer team at Banff, just after wrapping on the last day!
I have taken so much inspiration for my interpretation of Sonia's music from her own recordings of these Solo Violin Caprices. It is truly fascinating to hear her playing her own music!

Typically, one batch of medicinals is prepared as a decoction of about 9 to 18 substances. Some of these are considered as main herbs, some as ancillary herbs; within the ancillary herbs, up to three categories can be distinguished. Some ingredients are added in order to cancel out toxicity or side-effects of the main ingredients; on top of that, some medicinals require the use of other substances as catalysts. Decoction is a method of extraction by boiling, of dissolved chemicals, from herbal or plant material, which may include stems, roots, bark and rhizomes. Decoction involves first mashing, and then boiling in water to extract oils, volatile organic compounds, and other chemical substances. Decoction can be used to make tisanes, teas, coffees, tinctures and similar solutions. The process can also be applied to meats and vegetables to prepare bouillon or stock. A decoction is also the name for the resulting liquid. Although this method of extraction differs from infusion and percolation, the resultant liquids are often functionally similar. The term is used colloquially in South India to refer to black coffee prepared by the traditional method. Catalysis is the change in rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of a substance called a catalyst. Unlike other reagents that participate in the chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction itself. A catalyst may participate in multiple chemical transformations. Catalysts that speed the reaction are called positive catalysts. Substances that slow a catalyst's effect in a chemical reaction are called inhibitors. Substances that increase the activity of catalysts are called promoters, and substa
ces that deactivate catalysts are called catalytic poisons. Catalytic reactions have a lower rate-limiting free energy of activation than the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction, resulting in higher reaction rate at the same temperature. However, the mechanistic explanation of catalysis is complex. Catalysts may affect the reaction environment favorably, or bind to the reagents to polarize bonds, e.g. acid catalysts for reactions of carbonyl compounds, or form specific intermediates that are not produced naturally, such as osmate esters in osmium tetroxide-catalyzed dihydroxylation of alkenes, or cause dissociation of reagents to reactive forms, such as atomic hydrogen in catalytic hydrogenation. Kinetically, catalytic reactions are typical chemical reactions; i.e. the reaction rate depends on the frequency of contact of the reactants in the rate-determining step. Usually, the catalyst participates in this slowest step, and rates are limited by amount of catalyst and its "activity". In heterogeneous catalysis, the diffusion of reagents to the surface and diffusion of products from the surface can be rate determining. A Nanomaterial-based catalyst is an example of a heterogeneous catalyst. Analogous events associated with substrate binding and product dissociation apply to homogeneous catalysts. Although catalysts are not consumed by the reaction itself, they may be inhibited, deactivated, or destroyed by secondary processes. In heterogeneous catalysis, typical secondary processes include coking where the catalyst becomes covered by polymeric side products. Additionally, heterogeneous catalysts can dissolve into the solution in a solid–liquid system or evaporate in a solid–gas system.

In Ohio, Education Ombudsman Has Answers
Jeffrey Jones calls himself the answer man.
That's because, as the ombudsman for the Ohio Department of Education, Mr. Jones spends a good deal of his time trying to respond to the questions and concerns of Ohio parents.
"Most of my day is spent listening and letting people know where to start," said Mr. Jones, who is usually sitting in his office at 6:30 a.m., getting organized so that he can manage the onslaught of calls--25 or 30--his office receives daily.
Before taking up residence in the year-old office of the ombudsman last month, the 34-year-old Mr. Jones worked as the HIV-prevention-education consultant for the education department for three years.
Most of his work is done over the phone, he said, making and taking calls and "trying to weave [through] the bureaucracy to get things done."
On Mr. Jones' agenda one recent October day: helping a parent who
wanted information on whom to notify about a possible child molestation
at a school; talking to parents worried about a how to make up school
days because their district opened late; getting a speech therapist
into an elementary school; and advising a woman looking for help with
her teenage daughter who is in the 10th grade and pregnant.
Counseling and Clarifying
As ombudsman, Mr. Jones serves as a neutral third party in the resolution of education-related concerns regardless of whether they involve state or local officials. He helps identify and evaluate options for parents; provides detailed information or a direct contact to appropriate sources; and makes recommendations to school districts and the department for improving education policies.
The position of ombudsman was created about a year ago by state schools Superintendent John M. Goff. His idea was to provide an alternative channel of communication for parents and the public without undermining their access to local district officials. The first person to hold the position was Susan Reis, who left after six months on the job to teach at Pennsylvania State University.
The department encourages those with a complaint to attempt first to resolve their disputes within their school district. But if there is no resolution, Mr. Jones steps in as a mediator.
"There is a lot of clarifying of issues, counseling, and trying to appease people," Mr. Jones explained."My role is to sift through information that all sides give and find the best solution."
The Education Commission of the States and the National Conference of State Legislatures, both based in Denver, could not confirm whether other state education departments have ombudsmen.
Having an ombudsman has been "extremely helpful," said Superintendent Goff, who views the position as a means of involving the community and parents in the life of their schools. "I thought the best idea was to hire someone to build that connection," Mr. Goff said.
Since its creation last year, the ombudsman's office has worked with hundreds of parents on issues such as student discipline, special needs, curriculum, and district policies.
Ever-Changing Focus
"It is one place parents, citizens can call in and get a direct answer, or at least someone who can get back to them or find someone who can help them," Mr. Goff said."This is a positive avenue for parents."
But there are some who apparently do not fully understand the extent of Mr. Jones' power as ombudsman. A couple of weeks ago, for example, he received several calls from parents concerned about their cheerleading sponsor's "erratic driving" to competitions. The parents tried to push Mr. Jones to have the sponsor fired. He had to explain to them that terminating someone is not his job.
The most common complaints Mr. Jones has worked on of late have had to do with discipline. He has been fielding calls all month from parents whose children were suspended or expelled and didn't like how the situation was handled. Last month, the big topic was enrollment. "The job is never boring," he said. "It's one of the reasons why I love it."

Add to Spiritual Diary
If I want more money, health, beauty, youthfulness and status,
could I have them through advaita, you mean? Because, these are the
ingredients for success in life for me?" If any one has this question on
her or his mind, my answer to that person would be a big YES. You
may need a beautiful wife or a handsome husband, a good house,
loving parents, children, brothers, sisters, colleagues and may be, cars,
better career, and other things that might crop up as necessities from
time to time? Well, you could have all of them with the advaita formula.
Yes, though it might sound odd, it is true.
Before I explain how this could take place, let me warn you,
your Maker is not going to consider you successful unless you
strive for the successs of others! Others? Yes, others in your family,
neighbourhood, factory, state, nation, and even in the whole world!
Because, Life, the source of all lives is one and common!
Advaita is the combined code word for Evolutionary Law, the
Intelligence behind that Law, the goals of the Evolutionary processes
and the gap between the goals and their attainments. This code explains
evolution of the Cosmos, its origin as the Causeless Cause, its becoming
as causes from the state of being causeless, its nature of making the
effects into causes and then causes into effects a billion times till we
came on earth as effects, and then becoming causes for, further effects
and so on till we merge with the Causeless Cause, as aware spirits for
long rest and then help the Causeless Cause in another cycle of
phenomenal manifestation.
Our ancient saints and sages always knew this! They had tried
to tell the humanity the nature of the evolving world. 'Aham Brahmasmi'
(I am Brahman), 'Tatvamasi' (you are THAT), 'I am THAT, I am',
'God had created MAN in His own image' and 'Advaita' (Not two
but one i.e. the Creator and the created are not two separate entities
but one entity) were the concepts through which they educated the
humanity about the real nature of worldly existence.
Why did they use these codes? Because, the cause and effect
or causes and effects express or exist in the form of energy or
vibration. Human will is energy and as cause, it could create havoc as
the creative medium, the space around us is freely available to any
one. Majority of people are selfish and they would use their will to
promote themselves at the cost of others.
As man evolves and reaches a higher level, he comes directly
face to face with the Evolutionary Law in its operational and
application form. He could see with his own naked eyes, how host
of spirits work to maintain the Nature to be favourable to man's
growth. He could even command these spirits to carry out errands
that are commonly good. Advanced Masters know the technique with
which elemental nature-spirits could be captivated to be under their
obedience till they wish.Objects and organisms in our material world are made of
atoms whose electronic vibrations are limited to few hundred.
Higher the vibration of electrons, finer and subtler becomes the
matter making it invisible to human eye. Sound, thoughts, souls,
elemental and angelic spirits have their atomic structures made of
electrons, vibrating at thousands or even lakhs of times per second.
The speed at which atoms break or bond in evolutions of matter
or spirit cannot be even imagined by human mind. But, as stated
earlier, an advanced person standing at high evolution, could see
with his 'third eye' the atomic changes taking place in this constantly
evolving Universe. An advanced person, who can be called a
Master because of his or her mastery over Evolutinary Law can
even change the course of atomic evolution with his or her Creator's
Will. Masters change the evolution of things or beings only if such
changes help the general Will of the Creator.
About 12,000 years ago, a Continent went down the ocean
as a result of the interference by some with the Evolutionary Law.
The Continent was known as Atlantis because, it existed in the
Atlantic Ocean. Its people were spiritually more evolved than most
of the present races on earth. But selfish traits of some of the
Atlanteans caused large scale misuse of spiritual laws and power
available at their command. It is narrated in secret records kept in
monasteries both in the Eastern and Western cultural centres
surviving to this day, that floods caused by melting of ice caps,
submerged the Continent which lay buried under the ocean bed
even now only to re-emerge at some time in the future to become
the cradle of a race more evolved than ours.
But it is also said in these records that some people who
knew about the imminent catastrophe escaped to safer havens by
sea and land routes. Few came to India, few went to Egypt and
still another few to Mexico.
It is these spiritually advanced people who came from
Atlantis, are the progenitors of most of the leaders and heroes of
both Eastern and Western religions.
The Hindu, Egyptian and Maya civilizations were the
creations of Atlanteans. Adepts or high ranking Initiates of the mysteries
of Universe and its laws, had established, secret schools and academies
in many places which were under the influences of these three major
civilizations, to train spiritually inclined persons in the laws of the
Universe and thereby enlarge and expedite evolution of the human
race. These secret schools or mystical brotherhoods are still functioning
in many parts of the world.
As mentioned earlier, what were written in disguised and
veiled manner in the Scriptures, were taught in practical details by the
Masters in the schools run by secret brotherhoods and monasteries.
It is only from the latter part of the 19th century that the mystical
brotherhoods and their higher ranking Adepts let out a part of their
teachings openly to the wider world communities as they found the
world a bit eligible to receive such wisdom. Even practices like
Pranayama(breathing exercises), Meditation, Pranic healing, Reiki etc.
were all parts of secret teachings in that era.
Reason for this change is that by then democracy supported
by the principles of liberty, justice, equality and fraternity had
already started its triumphant march in the United States of America
and Europe.
'Advaita' and 'Tatvamasi' concepts are practically
demonstrated in the principles of democracy, equality, fraternity, justice
and liberty. The ONENESS with the Creator implied in Advaita is
practically applied in the democratic governance. This democracy could
be more enriched if some spiritual practices were adopted by the
The word 'spiritual' actually is rooted in Advaita. And,
surprisingly, all the religions of the world are rooted in Advaita, at
closer scrutiny! Because, Spirit is the Creator, the creation and the
created, in all the religions.
In general practices, people all over the world had ascribed
an other-wordly character to the term spirit, for long because, as
the saying goes, Spirit was the Alpha and Omega or the beginning
and end of all creation. We live here on earth only for a short
while and we return to the world of spirit after our life on earth.
This earth is matter and our physical bodies are matter. The spirit
in us use the physical bodies to experience the world and after
gaining experience, the spirits in us returns to its native place, the
Creator's consciousness, paradise, moksha or nirvana as various
religions call this native place of the spirits.
For many of us in the 21st century, these beliefs of people
across the world, nurtured in their racial consciousness since time
immemorial, are myths or in other words baseless stories made to
amuse those who want to be amused. But if we take some pain to
delve deep into these myths' reason for coming into existence, we
would be astounded by the amount of anxiety displayed by the
Masters in camouflaging certain laws of Nature or real nature of
the Universe in the form of children's stories. We would also find
that throughout the world, in all religions and languages these
myths are understood in their correct meanings by people who are
trained to understand them. Yes, they are members of various
mystical orders helping the Masters and Adepts in keeping the
world's order in proper spiritual balance. Yes, in proper spiritual
Spirit is energy which is always in vibration, motion,
adhesion, cohesion, separation, destruction, resurrection and so
on and on to form the worlds that are visible and invisible to us.
All mythological stories are scientific journeys of the Spirit in
evolution through astral, astrological, astronomical and Earth
spheres. Every myth needs seven keys to interpret it. They are:
astrological, astronomical, astral-psychic, numerological,
anthropological,- psychological and social (cultural). These keys
are available only with people who are initiated into the various
mystical orders working as the inner wings of religions.
Sri Shankaracharya stood at the apex of evolution. He could
survey the journey he took as a spirit in evolution and see his own
development through many human incarnations in male and female
bodies and prior to that, many lives he spent in different animal,
plant and mineral bodies. Once in the human stage, it was his own
actions that decided the course of his evolution, the pains and
pleasures or the successes and failures he encountered. Till he
became a human, he was moulded by higher spiritual beings who
can be called angels or archangels. But after taking human form
and getting a mind, outside help was restricted to bare minimum,
in times of utter helplessness such as serious sickness or confused life
The intelligence, pattern, form, order and life which are
present in evolutionary process are expressions of the same Spirit
that started Creation. Even the material necessary for form or
vehicle through which the Spirit expresses itself as life, came from
the same Spirit. Thus, the intelligence and physical body forming
Adi Shankara's personality were the expressions of the Spirit,
which was present in the Causeless Cause from the time of the
beginning of Creation. So is the case with every human individual.
The matter with which the physical world around us was
created is also another form of the Spirit that started as the
Causeless Cause. Our physical bodies are another forms of the
same Spirit, which had given life and form to the physical world
around us. The Spirit, which is perceived as soul consciousness in
us, is also of the same Spirit, which animated the entire Cosmos. Our
form is spirit. The occupant of our form is also Spirit. The occupant
Spirit can influence the form-spirit to improve or retard the growth of
the form-spirit. The Spirit that occupies our bodies could influence our
physical bodies and the physical world around us negatively or positively
because spirit energy of the physical world is amenable to Spirit which
occupies our bodies.
In a nation where the interplay of spirit energies is positive,
there, the mighty and lowly, the rich and the poor, the black and
white, the high caste and low caste, men and women, old and
young and so on, all contrasts and conflicts would be compered as a
well managed orchestra by the ruling persons. Health, prosperity and
happiness in abundance would be the effect of using spiritual laws by
those at the helm of affairs.
Today, democracy, equality, justice, liberty and fraternity are
agreed upon as our way of living. They are the expressions of
Advaita-Spirit. Let us employ some spiritual laws to make health,
prosperity and peace abundant around us. As I said earlier, your
Maker, the Causeless Cause is shining in all the more than 6 billion
people in the world. The Advaita nature of the Causeless Cause
binds all these 6 billion people to the source of their origin i.e. the
Causeless Cause and also to each of the 6 billion through a network
inter-relationship. Remember, the vibratory nature of the atomic
bodies occupied by man and the Supreme Spirit, the Causeless
Cause. So, we are not separate. We are interconnected to all others
in the world whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or
not! Our good and bad thoughts could reach the source of our
origin and also to all others in the 6 billion networks.
Let us practice Advaita, in the form of good governance.
The science of successful living is the knowledge of Advaita, put
into practice by good governance.
Exercise For You - 2
How to Create what You Want
In the previous section we have observed that the Supreme
Source of all that we call the Universe or Cosmos is the God and
this Supreme Source or Cause that we call God is Spirit. We have
also seen that men and women are expressions of this Spirit in
matter or forms. Thus, as the first aspect of the Law of the Universal
Spirit, we stated that men and women are the images of God!.
As the second aspect of the Law of the Universal Spirit
(LOTUS) we have just concluded that Advaita is the process by
which God the Spirit becomes men and women. Actually, not only
men and women, but all creations in the Universe are the
expressions of the same Spirit.
Now what we should note here is how Advaita can be a tool
in our hands for creation! In the beginning of this section we have
read that we can have every thing through the formula of Advaita
which states that the Creator and the created are one. You see,
when God decided to create, where did He (or She) get the material
to create this huge Cosmos? If we say, He/She found material
outside around Him/Her, the question then is who kept that material
there? Who created it? Was there another Creator? These, questions
cannot arise if God is the Causeless Cause without a beginning
and end. Therefore, God has to turn Himself / Herself into the
creative medium. OK, God made things from His own being!
Then? Where did He/She keep them? If we say, He/She kept them
out some place, questions like, whose place? and who created
that place?:would arise. God cannot have a competitor. So, we have
to conclude that the things God created are also kept within Him/Her.
Now, we have the Creator, the Creative Medium, and the created
worlds, all in the same Being we call God. But what about the creative
process or creating? Obviously God's Will to create is the first point of
the creative process. The next is His/Her idea or imagination. Actually,
the Will to create is the beginning of life in the created worlds.
So far so good. We have God, His/Her Will to create, His/Her
Imagination/Wisdom to create and His own Being as Medium to create!
Ok, creation takes place and after observing the vast arena of creation,
we have a natural question: How these myriad of worlds, planets, stars
and galaxies are held together? A precise Law is also involved in the
process of creation!.
This Law of Harmony is called by another name: LOVE.
Our God who is WILL, WISDOM and LOVE together is a
creator and creative medium in us, around us and every where.
All what you want are already being enjoyed by others since
the beginning of the world. You cannot imagine a thing if it was
not in existence in the physical or ideal world.
If you want some thing in your life, all you have to do is
create it with your will and imagination. The God-energy coming
through the Sun and Moon is already around you which your will
and imagination can mould into things and events. The Law of
Harmony will bring them into your lives.
Now the Exercise:
Select a convenient place in your bedroom or study where
you are not disturbed for few minutes. Keep three lighted candles
(large ones are preferable) before you at distance not less than 3
feet on a table or at some such heights. These candles represent LIFE

purify the room of all evil energies.
Look at the flames and mentally say "may health, prosperity
and peace abound in the world"! When you say this prayer feel
the spirit of harmony that is conveyed by the words of the prayer.
Sit in silence for few minutes enjoying the harmony you
could feel with the world around you.
Now close your eyes. Look at your mental screen. Visualize
or picturise the thing or situation you want in your life in complete
detail. When you feel that the picture is complete, just dismiss it.
Take a deep breath and while releasing the air, give a command saying'
Complete your session if you want or be in meditation as
long as you wish. But when you close the session, put out the
flames. Save the candles for future use. Please note:
1. Visualize only things and situations that are beneficial to
your family members and the community around you.
2. Result of what you visualize will depend on the Law of
Harmony. God's love for you is influenced by His love for
the total humanity.
3. Your evolution through the many incarnations you have
completed may not be visible to you but the Spiritual
Hierarchy, the invisible intelligences who look after your
evolution and maintain the Law of Harmony could see the
omissions and commissions to your credit. They will control
whatever you create willfully in the thought world.
4. After dismissing the picture from the mind, do not dwell on it
again. Repeat the visualization after an interval of 12 hours. Use
the same room and same method while doing the visualization
for same object or for newer ones.
5. The breathing and decreeing 'I am Thou' 'Thou art me', should
be done regularly. By practice you will be able to do this exercise
while travelling or even in your office! Rhythmic breathing

in few days or months. Certain situations could take place
instantly if your thoughts are intense. Before you visualize, make
sure that others will not suffer on account of your visualization.
7. Good health for self and family or others, good home, happy
family life, prosperity, love, marriage, beautiful spouse, children,
promotion, car, etc. etc. can be had through mental creations!.

Color Mixing Fun!
Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler posted the other day about a Color Mixing activity she got from Mama Jenn. Those two posts plus the original activity post at Itty Bitty Love really got my brain going. I decided to make all the different wheels that Anne made for both of her color mixing activities to use with my kiddos. We're studying the Renaissance and Color Theory using Kym Wright's Color Adventure – this activity will dovetail quite nicely, especially for my little Will. Here are the color wheels that I made to share. Enjoy!

BRENTWOOD, N.Y. — The Latest on a New York woman fatally struck by a car whose daughter was allegedly killed by gang (all times local):
10:01 p.m.
Police say a New York woman was involved in an argument with a driver about her slain daughter's memorial before the driver struck with her SUV and killed her.
Suffolk County police say Evelyn Rodriguez was setting up a memorial for her daughter, Kayla Cuevas, who was killed two years ago by suspected MS-13 gang members, when she was struck and killed Friday afternoon.
Police say the driver — a relative of someone who lives on the block — tried to drive off and struck Rodriguez. The 50-year-old was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police said the driver remained at the scene and called 911. The woman's 2016 Nissan Rogue was impounded for a safety check by investigators.
8:55 p.m.
President Donald Trump says his thoughts and prayers are with the family of a New York woman — whose daughter was allegedly killed by MS-13 gang members — after she was fatally struck by a car.
Evelyn Rodriguez was killed Friday after being struck by a car near the memorial for her daughter in Brentwood.
Rodriguez met with Trump and attended the State of the Union as a guest of the White House.
Her daughter, Kayla Cuevas, and 15-year-old Nisa Mickens were allegedly killed two years ago by members of the MS-13 street gang on Long Island. The gang has become a prime target of the Trump administration amid its broader crackdown on immigration
Trump tweeted his "thoughts and prayers are with Evelyn Rodriguez this evening, along with her family and friends. #RIPEvelyn."
6:52 p.m.
A New York woman recognized by President Donald Trump at the State of the Union after her daughter was killed by MS-13 gang members has been struck and killed by a car at her daughter's memorial.
Police say Evelyn Rodriguez of Long Island was hit Friday afternoon in Brentwood. Congressman Peter King says it happened about an hour before a planned memorial for her daughter, Kayla Cuevas.
Suffolk County police say they're investigating.
Cuevas and her 15-year-old friend, Nisa Mickens, were killed in the Long Island neighborhood that has become the epicenter in the fight against MS-13 violence. Cuevas' beaten body was found on Sept. 14, 2016.
The gang is blamed for dozens of killings on Long Island since 2016. Trump has blamed the violence on lax immigration policies.

Subnet012 features two of the last tracks Vincent Courcot released under his Tetraktys moniker (one of which is a collaboration with Kali Frogz). In addition, this EP contains a pair of songs from his newer project, Motion. Encompassing pumping techno, heartfelt techtrance, and fat progressive grooves, every song on Subnet012 sounds fresh and invigorating–despite having been composed in 2004 and 2005.

Facebook's January 12 announcement that it would begin to deprioritize news in users' News Feed left publishers shaking in their boots. "[B]y making these changes, I expect the time people spend on Facebook and some measures of engagement will go down," admitted Mark Zuckerberg, much to the horror of every major media outlet, most of which relied heavily on the traffic generated from the site. And for a while, it truly did look like the apocalypse was nigh: The Outline's investigation from early March showed that traffic for most conservative publishers and nearly all publishers of viral and needlessly polarizing content experienced a significant drop in the month following the News Feed change.
In the wake of Newswhip's recent analysis of top publishers' Facebook engagement data over March and April, many have come to the similar conclusions of partisan bias (though the winners and losers often switch, depending on who's talking). However, new information that takes into account the last four months as a whole — rather than merely looking at month-to-month trends — tells a much different story.
According to data The Outline obtained from research tool CrowdTangle, a subsidiary of Facebook, Facebook's January news feed algorithm change has had little to no effect on mainstream conservative and liberal publishers in the long run, with most actually experiencing increased interaction rates following February. However, publishers of clickbait, purposefully polarizing content, and/or blatantly fake news have experienced a significant sustained drop in interaction in the months following Facebook's January News Feed deprioritization announcement.
The Outline came to these conclusions after analyzing the Facebook interaction rates of 20 publishers from November 1, 2017 to April 20, 2018. CrowdTangle calculates a particular Facebook page's interaction rate by dividing the average number of interactions (i.e. likes, comments, shares, etc) in a given time period by the size of the account.
Gateway Pundit
Pages known for publishing inflammatory ultra-right-wing content like Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, and PragerU all experienced considerable sustained drops in interaction following the News Feed change. Jim Hoft's right wing blog, Gateway Pundit — known for its love of blatantly inaccurate content and completely unfounded conspiracies — experienced a 69 percent decrease in user interaction in the months after Facebook's announcement. Similarly, the popular right-wing online "university," PragerU, experienced a roughly 42 percent decrease in interactions over the four month period, and Breitbart's interaction rate dropped by 30 percent.
Fox News
New York Times
Washington Post
Curiously enough, mainstream publishers from both sides of the aisle did not appear to experience similar interaction rate decreases in the months after Facebook's news feed deprioritization announcement. Though a few companies had particularly low rates for the month of February, most recovered relatively quickly and went on to have sustained growth throughout the following two months.
Though Fox News experienced a dip in interaction during the month of February, it returned to a normal rate within four weeks and continued to rise throughout April. CNN's interaction rate stayed at a steady 0.03 percent throughout the four month period. Similarly, the New York Times' interaction rate remained at 0.02 percent from January to April. Though the Washington Post experienced a brief spike in March, its interaction rate returned to 0.04 percent the following month.
It's worth noting that Facebook does not make information like reach and clicks available to the public, so interaction rates do not contain that data. The interaction rates cited here were generated from share, like, and comment data provided by CrowdTangle. The term "engagement" is commonly used in reference to shares, likes, comments, and link clicks.
"We have found that, in general, the more folks interact with a post, the more likely it is that they are also clicking through to it," CrowdTangle explains in an FAQ on the subject. "However, that's not always the case (sometimes people like a post that they don't click through, and sometimes people click through to a post they don't like). In general, shares are probably the best proxy. The social network APIs currently don't give public access to clicks or reach, so they will not be displayed within the dashboard."

Peer Magic™ is Growing Up
Accessible Business Support via Peer Groups
In this post (click to view), I told about my "3am moment": how I saw the need to take what larger companies do to achieve growth and profit, and make it accessible and relevant to even the smallest businesses. That has been much of my work for the past several months. The main vehicle has been a process and community I call Peer Magic™. Here's the Peer Magic story so far in a nutshell.
A Peer Magic™ circle is a structured, facilitated group of SME business owners, who work as a mutual advisory board. I lead and chair the circles; it's a non-confrontational, but powerful process. The structure and process derive from case-study and quantitative research, including international studies, on advisory boards, mastermind groups, and other models. And now we know that it works.
Thanks to a deliberate soft launch in mid-2016, and the enthusiastic participation and feedback from the pioneer "peers", there has been time to refine and improve the model.
I always wanted Peer Magic™ to be evidence-based, and now our own evidence is coming in from participants.
The benefits we've seen include:
- Pausing the treadmill and having time to think
- Feeling less isolated
- A safe space to talk through issues, confidential and supportive, with honest feedback
- Growing by working ON not working IN
- Goals and results documented/achieved
- Greater clarity and confidence
- Accountability back to the group.
We have interest from the business school at one of our universities, so there may yet be the opportunity to add our local results to the pool of research!
And Now… The World
The proof-of-concept stage is successfully concluded. Many thanks to all the supporters, advisors, participants and willing listeners. My next big task is to get the word out there. Peer Magic™ helps small business owners, and it ought to be helping more of them.
I'm very keen to talk with business owners who really want to achieve growth, and can make changes in order to do so. Who wants to join me on this journey?
The Future
The current Peer Magic™ model (early 2017) is quite lightweight. It represents a small investment of time and money, accessible to the smallest businesses. Plans include layering additional services for a premium model more suited to larger and more complex businesses. I have in mind structured strategy workshops, guest facilitators, and online tool kits for business thinking. Watch this space.
Clients Say

Here's a quick story from a large study. The Business Development Bank of Canada (motto: "Entrepreneurs First") did a large survey over many years of businesses that had, and had not, some form of advisory structure helping the owner/managers. An advisory structure (Peer Magic™ more than qualifies) turns out to be incredibly powerful. I mean powerful as in an average threefold increase in the rate of business growth.
For this business owner, a study participant, it pretty much saved her business:

Unless otherwise agreed, the following will usually apply;
1. WMVC will provide the Master of Ceremonies (MC)
2. The MC will run the concert
3. The choir will sing 16 pieces in 2 halves separated by an interval.
4. Within each half, there will be a guest or solo spot by performers chosen by the choir, or (by agreement) supplied by the charity. In the latter case you will be asked to discuss this with our Musical Director. If your soloists require accompaniment from our Accompanist he must be provided with the music at least six weeks before the concert. Each guest spot should be of 12 - 14 minutes duration.
5. The interval should not last longer than 20 minutes. Its purpose primarily is to provide a comfort break for choir and audience. If refreshments are to be served in the interval rather than at the end of the concert sufficient arrangements should be made to ensure this timescale.
6. If you particularly want to include a Raffle please make sure that does not take too long and detract from everyone's enjoyment of the concert itself. The winning numbers should be drawn during the interval and affixed to prizes to be collected at the end of the concert. The numbers can simply be read out either immediately after the interval or just before the end of the concert.
7. As an alternative to a raffle for adding to the financial success of the concert, a bucket collection as the audience leaves at the end can be very productive. You may need to get your venue's permission for this.
8. There will be a spot just before the end of the concert where the organiser from the charity can speak for 3 minutes. The speech should be short, punchy, enthusiastic and informative. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the charity's successes and to get the audience to dig in their wallets for notes to put in the collection buckets. A good concert where everyone is leaving on a high can raise a lot of money at this point.
We hope that you find the above points useful. Your choir contacts for further information are:
