railway into Tibet
The world's highest railroad, waded with alpine meadows and hugged by mountains far or near. Distance has become vague on the immense plain. Shadows of the clouds give the mountains a fictional pattern, like the shades of sandhills in a dessert. The immensity of it all takes me away from any intruding detail, so everything looks closer than they actually are.
Near the railway, there were Tibetan buffalos and highland goats scattered all the way into where the land meets the sky. I wondered if those who walk these land half a century ago thought much beyond the mountains. It's strange, because the land is so large that I can't imagine a human mind could capture the concept that there is anything outside if not for the roads and television.
Even though the sun penetrated every inch of my skin, not "far" away, a custer of cloud squeezed mists of rain onto the almost barren landscape, or not, as I couldn't make out raindrops from afar. And yet, I saw a rainbow! The bow was completely in sight, an arc sitting on the prairy, with a bright inner bow and a faded outter bow. Never had I seen a full bow before, not mentioned having captured by a camera.
A few hours away from Lasa, there is a Tsuo Na lake. It is a sausage shaped along the railway. It is blue lighter than sapphire, the same shade as the sky. Maybe it's because the two are so close, and they see themselves in each other's eyes. I wondered what fish swam this water, if they have much to eat in the hot summers and cold winters, if their eyes and their algea are also dyed blue by the rich colour of the lake.
It is these colours that aligned the trips for all these days, bus or train, east or west. Whenever I was happy or unhappy, I turn and look ouside the window, I forget myself and was filled with wonder.

foggy love
I'm reading this novel written by and about people about my age, maybe a couple years older, their first love. In those days, there was a sinful word called 早恋(may be translated premature love I guess). It refers to affairs during high school. Teachers would put it in the same catagory as smoking and fighting. It was treated with the same negativity as childhood pragnency as these days. However, that's not why first love was scary. What teachers or parents say were like little sunspots burried in the glory of the wheel of fire.
Love is a big word, as children we were afraid to use it. We used "like", "like" was already big enough to fill our hearts. I think I never really grew out of this mode, maybe because I never became brave enough to feel that "like" was not big enough. I wonder, is it our hearts have grown bigger, or is it love has become smaller? I've been afraid, can I say I love this person? I can only use love in other ways, a friendly love, a sisterly love, but I'm afraid to say I love a man. I have loved, but never have I been courageously, with certainty, loved. Is love really something we can define by ourselve? People say that love would mean something different as you change with age. Is it really different?
Love does not change, we can only discover more about it to pull it closer, or give up more of it to make it flatter, or like me, to be more afraid of it to make it foggier….

It was amazing that we gathered 16 people from senior high. Many people hadn't seen each other since the end of high school. The interesting thing was that many people from that class and I hardly talked when I was there, because I was more of a in the shadow character. Now when we met, we talked a lot, and my throat was hurting afterwards. I don't know if it's because we hadn't seen each other for a long time, or it was because we are more mature now.
It's interesting how I never really felt sad that people have moved on, this time or in the past. Even though some complain about the life beyond school is tiring and complicated, they all seem to have a life to look forward to. Most people have some changes they know they want to make. Hope outlines their faces, frowning or smiling alike. I guess that's what life is about, to live on with hope, waving a little flag or one colour or another.

finally some comment on Beijing bathed in Olympics
So I wonder if it's time to talk about the Olympics now. I've been resisting it because the whole city of Beijing has totally become an Olympic city, TV, radio and even people would have nothing else to talk about. It's really a big event, but I'm getting a little rebellious.
The opening ceremony was quite grand. It reminds me of past big ceremonies in Beijing. It's always been tens of thousands of people creating big images, never in such complex artestry but the style is very Chinese. I have to admit that it's very grand and some very beautiful, but I don't know if I like the individual always is seen as part of the whole kind of philosophy. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, it's just a dance, an art, but the mentality is entranched in all aspect of the Chinese lives.
I watched beach volleyball on TV, even though the park is actually really close to my place. The two Chinese guys are really cute, as dark as lighter africans too! The day they played was when the rain finally came in Beijing. Before then the whole atmosphere was like a steam plate in a dim sum restaurant. Now, I feel more alive that the rain washed away the steam clouding around people's foreheads.
On TV now is diving. I like watching it maybe because I feel it makes me feel cool. The city has many of its indoor swimming pool closed. I hate the outdoor ones, because it's way too dirty with way too many people. One thing I feel weird is that, this time around, the sport commentators on TV and radio are always sooo positive compared to before. They are always saying how good everyone is, chinese or otherwise. It annoys me a little bit, even though I like it better than the american idol style, but I think just like before is quite good. There is more time to say actual meaningful things.
I wonder if it's a good time for someone to visit Beijing for the first time now. There are totally not as many people as it usually does. I feel half of the people are off of the streets, and at least a third are out of the city. It's because originally, Beijing's population has a quater from outside of the city. Now that some are let go, and some just went away voluntarily, the city feels emptier (still not in the same scale as north american cities of course).
This year, Beijin has very good peaches! Mmmm

zhong yong
Grandma busied herself in the kitchen, with sweat seeping through the thin nilon sleeveless shirt which is coloured with years. Grandma still has her black hair, though not as thick as ten years ago. She used to perm it like a big round hat with extra volume. She still doesn't give up on the kitchen though, despite the food restrictions grandpa has imposed on her once diverse southern palette. Grandma is easy going though. She never argued, sometimes might get her ways with her sweet words admiring my grandpa's cooking: I just like your grandpa's noodles she would say.
Grandpa and dad would always talk about some history or politics or even poetry. My dad would talk with great enthusiasm while grandpa gives facts in a rather slow pace. Sometimes it's funny, because they remember the poetry wrong, put one line from one poem and another line from another poem. People who are very good at this sort of stuff probably would snore, but I don't quite care. We are the sort of commoner who can seek our laughter on our own field, no one digs too deep, but no one really give up thinking we have a part of these culture and stories. When we went for a walk in the warm summer night, I felt the air was sweet. My family made who I am, the kind of person who can enjoy many things even though I'm no expert in any. Rarely do I feel, i'm not a ___ person, so I don't even bother thinking or liking it. I belong to the world, and the world belongs to me.

Dear friends,
Before our Steam Rocket leaked fuel into the top of it, I used to have a wireless basestation on my desk, and I'd got in the habit of looking at the activity lights when a download was taking longer than it should to see if anything was actually happening. Being a creature of habit, I kept glancing at where it used to be whenever I was waiting for a web page; clearly a replacement was needed. Well, here at last it is: a steam gauge to measure the pressure in the tubes of the Internet.
This is a real steam pressure gauge, but with a slight modifcation – it now measures packets per second. Read on below for how it works…
The steam gauge originally worked by steam pressure causing the curved flattened tube to straighten, which then pulled on the brass linkage causing the toothed lever to pivot, and the teeth drive a cog that turns the pointer. I disconnected the curved tube from the linkage, straighted the tube slightly, and attached a miniature servo motor to the end. From the servo, a carefully bent paper clip pulls on the original linkage driving the pointer.
Here's the back of the gauge, with the cover removed:
The electronics are probably overkill for this application, but they work well. A Devantech USB-to-I2C convertor takes commands from the Mac over USB, and sends them via an I2C bus to an SD21 21-channel servo controller board. I'm only using one channel at the moment, so expect more computer controlled hardware in the not too distant future. I'll remove the breadboard and repackage the electronics in a nice wooden box sometime soon.
The servo motor is a Saturn S62 which is very small, but seems to have no difficulty in driving this meter. All the power is supplied from the Mac's USB port, which is a little lower voltage than is ideal for the servo, but it seems happy enough. The servo is quite capable of driving the gauge from 0 right up past 200 and hitting the stop from below in a fraction of a second – I had to configure the servo controller to change the servo's position at close to its minimum speed to avoid the needle jumping too fast.
The software is pretty trivial, comprising a 40 line program in C to send commands to the servo controller, and a 30-line script to get the network statistics and call the C program. At some point I'll re-code it all in C to be more efficient, but this works fine for now. It only collects network stats once a second, so there is a slight lag between clicking on a hyperlink and the steam pressure rising.

Focusing on My Lymphatic System
8 comments:
Interesting that you mentioned oil pulling. I read about it a few weeks ago and tried it with coconut oil. At first I gagged and had to spit it out, then I put a 1/2 teaspoon in my mouth and after it melted, it was actually kind of pleasant. It did make my mouth and teeth feel really clean and fresh all day. I drink a smoothie every morning made out of water, 3 cups of spinach, a handful of baby carrots, a chunk of fresh ginger, a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1 cup of organic frozen mixed berries. It tastes delicious and I get a lot of nutrients for the day. I also start every morning with a glass of room temperature water and lemon juice. It's supposed to be good for your liver and your circulation. It sounds like you're in for an amazing journey. I guarantee that you're going to feel so energized!ReplyDeleteReplies
I know what you mean about the oil LOL - but I noticed the same thing! They feel cleaner than when you just use paste. I have been doing more smoothies - but - need to get back into juicing :) Very true about the lemon water!!! Thanks for the comments and encouragement!Delete
Hi Jennifer,ReplyDelete
I am very happy and impressed to read that you are focusing on your lymphatic system this week.This is very important for overall health. Have you tried holistic lymphatic massage and lymphatic drainage therapies? One of my holistic practitioners has recommended them. Is the food you mentioned in your post designed to support and cleanse the lymphatic system? I look forward to following your journey this week. All the best, DeborahReplies
Thanks for the comment and encouragement! I haven't tried massage - mostly because no one around here does that but I have been reading about it! The foods I mentioned were ones suggested to assist with lymphatic systems. I hope to blog more about that this week :) Thanks again!Delete
I love leafy greens...and use a lot of garlic in my cooking. My missus loves lots of ginger but it is a bit too "heaty" for my system but yes, we do use that and tumeric too in our cooking.ReplyDelete
My friend in the US is telling me about the comeback of coconut there - how it is good in so many years...despite being accused of being the "bad boy" of oils in the past.Replies
Gotta LOVE Garlic, Ginger, and Turmeric!!!!Delete
Coconut and Coconut products are on the rise here, yes! Coconut Milk, Coconut Butter, Coconut Oil, Coconut Flour, Coconut Sugar, Coconut Aminos...I like nearly everything I have tried!
Very interesting on oil pulling and sounds like great goals. I'm a huge fan of smoothies and have one every morning with kale and ginger, but have not been into juicing lately.ReplyDeleteReplies
I need to be better about juicing again. I'm thinking MAYBE if I get a new juicer I will be more excited about it. I have a Jack LaLanne NOW and it's ok but I have Juicer envy LOLDelete

[33][34] Since array identify arguments to sizeof are certainly not converted to pointers, they do not exhibit these kinds of ambiguity. Having said that, arrays designed by dynamic allocation are accessed by pointers instead of accurate array variables, in order that they have problems with exactly the same sizeof troubles as array pointers.

A Few Tips to Help on How to Get Scuba Diving Certification
Scuba diving is one of the most wonderful sports, and while it needs plenty of dedicated gear, getting certified is relatively easy.
On the other hand, you should have a few essentials at hand if you intend to get scuba diving certification. While scuba diving is exciting and fun, it can be dangerous at the same time. When you are deep underwater, there isn't much room for mistakes.
First of all, you must know how to swim. This seems rather obvious, but it is a must that you are a practically strong as well as able swimmer. Scuba diving certification mostly requires one to be competent enough to swim around 200 yards with any manner or stroke. At the same time, you have to be competent at floating or treading water for a 10-minute duration. If you want to engage in scuba diving, it is important as well that you are healthy. Health is generally a consideration, but you need also to be healthy during the dive.
Scuba diving if you are suffering from a head cold is obviously not a good idea, and could result to problems like a burst eardrum.
If you are on the hunt for scuba diving instruction or scuba diving class, ask your friends or family for a start, or try to ask at the YMCA in your area or community center. Discover what you can expect to learn from the course you are thinking of, and if you can see to it that you have an instructor who is fully certified to provide scuba diving instruction. It becomes important to go for the best as well as the safest training on scuba diving as much as possible.
There are several different scuba diving agencies available, so it is best to explore which of these agencies are nearer to your residence. You must know that their scuba diving approach will differ from one agency to the next. On the other hand, popular agencies will usually offer almost the same training in terms of recreational scuba and will acknowledge each other's qualifications. Several schools have programs that grant you a well-accepted certification, for instance a Professional Association of Diving Instructors or PADI. You will be able to dive in most places worldwide if you take this with you.
One very important thing to consider — if you do not feel comfortable and safe at any time, do not dive. Practice the scuba diving skills you have extensively in preparation to venturing into unfamiliar territory. If you repeat your skills over and over again, you will be quick to react rationally should anything goes wrong. Ask the instructor to go over anything any scuba diving instruction you don't understand. Better to ask many questions during scuba diving training just to get it properly rather than become incompetent at your scuba diving abilities.

Hello All - I've just joined the forum. I'm from London (well just outside) and enjoy photographing our local wildlife as well as the occasional trip to other parts of the UK.
I'm currently using a 7D Mark II (upgraded from 70D earlier this year) and a 100-400 II. I've recently (this morning!) received my new lens - a Sigma 500mm f4 which I am looking forward to using :)
Here is an image I took a few months ago in Richmond Park. I like the lighting on the hind and the way the jackdaw looks like a crown - fitting for a Royal Park.

04/13/14 - Interstate 10 eastbound has reopened after it was closed for over an hour in Buckeye at Miller Road due to three collisions involving five vehicles.
One vehicle rolled over trapping one person, said Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Raul Garcia.
The first collision involved three vehicles and the other two were caused by debris on the roadway from the initial collision, Garcia said.
Two people were injured in the collisions, Garcia said. Their injuries are not life-threatening.
ADOT said the eastbound lanes reopened around noon, but that traffic is backed up heading east and west in the area.

Basic Issues Guiding Hardware & Selection Choices
Typically, the driving force behind selecting different hardware is based on the necessary function, and the basic distinction is between indoor and outdoor applications. Most exterior doors lock, and in many cases the doors are larger in scale (taller, wider, heavier, and carry more hardware) than interior doors. This is especially true of entry doors. In order to hold larger and sturdier locking mechanisms, such as a mortise lock, selecting doors with larger stiles, which provide more room for the trim, is fundamental to having more options in hardware selection. The mortise lock, which integrates the locking and latching mechanisms into a single cartridge style lock, is inset within the width of the door and is set within the stile, the vertical structural member of the door.
Many interior doors contain a locking mechanism, but these tend to be smaller than those that secure homes. This varies based on residential and commercial applications. Another broad assumption is that interior doors are not required to meet all of the stringent impact codes, especially relating to hurricanes and high wind conditions that exterior doors are often subject to. This also varies with application, particularly for interior doors in commercial and hospitality settings.

The Links at Union Vale
"Harlem's Rattlers and the Great War"
by Jeffrey T. Sammons and John H. Morrow Jr.
"The authors, both eminent historians, depict the epic struggle to transform a New York State Guard unit composed almost entirely of black soldiers into a one of the most decorated regiments of the United States Army in World War I. Harlem's Rattlers is an absorbing book, a work of deeply important and distinguished scholarship, nuanced in its exploration and handling of the layers and layers of contradictory and incomplete accounts that are the natural character of all history."
- Hamilton Fish, Publisher and Editorial Director, the Washington Spectator

"Timeless: Love, Morgenthau, and Me"
by Lucinda Franks
"Happy families may be all alike, as Tolstoy has remarked, but happy marriages are not, as Lucinda Franks allows us to know in this beautifully composed, painfully candid, and often very funny double portrait of the author ... and Robert Morgenthau ..., who were married in defiance of nearly everyone who knew them after Franks, a young woman of 26, met Morgenthau, a widower of 53. Timeless is something of a defiant memoir as well, yet it also brims with tenderness, good humor, and a good deal of inside information about a number of Morgenthau's most famous criminal cases including something of the background of 9/11."
- Joyce Carol Oates, novelist, playwright, essayist

April's Program is an important one for all of us. Talk Saves Lives is an introduction to Suicide Prevention, which will be presented by Maria Idoni, the AFSP's (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention), Area Director for the Hudson Valley and Westchester chapters.
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
This is a community based presentation that covers the general scope of suicide, the research on prevention, and what people can do to fight suicide.
We will learn the risk and warning signs of suicide, who it affects, what we know about it and what can be done to prevent it.
Don't assume someone else will reach out. Only 1 in 5 seeks help. You can encourage people to make that critical first step. Suicide is a health issue. You can prevent suicide. We invite you to this very important presentation of Talk Saves Lives.

I was in Florida when the March newsletter arrived. Perhaps it was the sunshine that made me notice something even more than usual that is there all the time. As I read this issue I was struck with the phrase "depth and breadth;" that is, the wide range of what our branch has to offer. Some of our activities and articles delve into some serious issues of our time but at the same time we offer a range of programs from light-hearted fun to serious study.
On the depth side we have taken a look at the women of Iran, and this month, on suicide prevention. We were about to visit the UN to learn about women's' issues from around the world and to celebrate International Women's Day locally. We concern ourselves with the issue of domestic violence by actually doing something through our Court Watch program. We keep on top of the many issues surrounding diversity with monthly programs.
Our annual Writer's Tea & Auction is a good example of breadth. Yes, we are having an author discussing the subject of race, but we are also having some fun shopping along with a lovely tea. Another is our upcoming Wine Bowl for Equal Pay, highlighting the issue of women's pay inequality in the workplace at a fun social event. Think of the enjoyment of reading to young children or crafting with pre-teen girls while performing a valuable community service. And let's not forget games and crafts and outdoor activities to discussions of books and poetry and movies.
Yes, March was just one month among many when we have outstanding programming and activities. We are a fortunate branch to offer something for everyone. Thanks to all of you who lead, plan, organize, participate in and attend our many, many activities. You are what make this organization great! And particular thanks to Newsletter
Editor Margaret Nijhuis, Assistant Editor Kath Friedman and all of the others who contribute to each outstanding newsletter.
Registration details are on the AAUW-NYS website, http://www.aauw-nys.org/convention.htm . The registration deadline is March 30. Please contact Barbara Van Itallie if you plan to attend.

Happy Spring to all our members. April is the month when our branch begins to look forward to two important annual events. First, at the beginning of May you will receive in the mail your membership renewal notice for the coming year which will run from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. Annual dues are $78.00 and four free memberships are available. We will have a drawing for these freebies at the end of the year dinner in June. Once you receive your membership renewal information keep the following in mind:
Mail your dues by May 11, 2016 and get three (3) tickets for the drawing.
Mail your dues by May 18, 2016 and get two (2) tickets for the drawing.
Mail your dues by May 25, 2016 and get one (1) ticket for the drawing.
Also in April, we begin counting down the days to the Writers' Tea on May 15th at the Links at Union Vale. We rely on the monies we receive from this, our only fundraiser, to support our many programs and initiatives during the year. Your support of the tea is vital to the success of our organization. The location is lovely, the afternoon tea is a special event and the authors are very interesting while the silent auction offers many exciting items. To our new members, this event is so special, you should make it a priority to attend.

Hearing the Unspoken
As the race for presidential hopefuls continues, I keep listening for the topics important to women.
I hear about the efforts to shut down Planned Parenthood while grown men joke about the size of their penises and breastfeeding. (If this conversation happened in the workplace wouldn't it be considered sexual harassment?) I don't hear much protecting the reproductive rights. I hear slurs against immigrants, Muslims, and Mexicans, but little about women's civil rights. I hear about building a wall, but I don't hear about breaking the gender pay gap. I hear education, but no plan or legislation to guarantee equal pay for women. I hear diatribes on gun control, but no programs to address violence, human trafficking or hate crimes. I hear about the growing wealth of the one percent, but worry about cost of living for the other ninety-nine. I hear about Affordable Health Care but little about protecting retirement either through employment or social security. I witness trying to shut down the appointment of a Supreme Court judge even though the Constitution mandates appointment. I hear talk of foreign policy but where is the discussion of fair treatment in the military?
Change must come from the bottom up. Along with the presidential election, 80% of Congressional seats will be up for election. Set your agenda. Ask the questions that will improve the quality of life for women and children. How will you support passage of the Fair Pay Act? What can you do to insure that every child, regardless of background and income, has access to early childhood care and educational opportunity? Will you vote for the Family Leave Bill or any bill guaranteeing paid family leave and sick days? What will you do to expand health coverage for women and children and reduce costs? How will you strengthen Social Security? How will you advocate and protect civil rights for women?
If you don't like what you are hearing, it is up to you to change the conversation.

At our December meeting, there was an amazing pile of gifts donated by you for the women at Grace Smith House.
Dear Linda, All of us here at Grace Smith House would like to express our sincere thanks to the members of the Poughkeepsie Branch of the American Association of University Women for the beautiful holiday gifts you collected for our ladies in our domestic violence shelter! They loved the gifts, especially the handbags, perfume sets and pajamas!
We wish you all a peaceful and prosperous 2016 holiday season and a very happy New Year. Best wishes, Michele (Michele Pollock Rich, director of Grace Smith House)

Our seventh annual Tea and Auction is quickly approaching- about eight weeks away. Please send in your reservation as soon as you can. It is very stressful for all of us if people wait until the last minute to do this.
Auction items have been coming in but we still need a lot more! Please contact me or anyone on our committee if you have any questions about this. Please send me an email describing your item for listing in the program for the day of the Tea. All items need to be received on or before April 29. On May 3 the committee will have a final meeting at Marcine Humphrey's in order to organized the items for the auction. Marcine has graciously offered to have her house be our new "Auction Central." Please contact her to make arrangements to drop things off. Her information is in the directory.
Two forms are on our website www.aauwpoughkeepsie.org for everyone's use. First is a letter for potential donors explaining who we are and our programs supported by this fundraiser. The second one is a simple tax form for donors. We don't assign the value of the item, that is up to the donor.
The theme of this year's Raffle Basket is "Hudson Valley Bounty." We would appreciate donations of items for this basket. You can buy raffle tickets ahead of time as our committee members have them.
You will be given a number when you arrive at the Tea for use (along with your name) on the bidding sheets. The actual Auction will be one block of time at the beginning, no bidding at intermission, to enable us to streamline the checkout process.
Please remember that this is the only fundraiser we have for the entire year. The proceeds support all of the valuable programs of our organization. We need the support of our membership. Thank you so much.
Review of "Harlem Rattlers"
Continued from page 1...
..."The pith of this book is the ferocious and unending drama of race, the core narrative that tracks the American experience. Harlem's Rattlers is an engrossing social history, brimming with humor, irony, courage on a grand scale and the small acts of human decency and painful betrayal that are the grist of the wartime narrative. Men skirmish in the legislature, manipulate the media, get trampled in the military bureaucracy, compete ruthlessly for recognition and at every turn the underlying racial dynamic shapes their behavior and deforms the culture. The integration of the armed forces was a focal point of the civil rights cause for the first half of the twentieth century. Sammons and Morrow have given us a panoramic tale, rich in its evocation of the strains of class, ambition, patriotism, bravery and prejudice that run deep in the American story. An absorbing book, a work of deeply important and distinguished scholarship" –Hamilton Fish, Publisher and
Editorial Director, the Washington Spectator
Review "Timeless"
Continued from page 1...
.."As an intimate depiction of an unusual marriage, Timeless is unique; yet, in its delineation of the ever-shifting contours of married love, it is universal and archetypal—indeed, 'timeless.'" -Joyce Carol Oates, novelist, playwright, essayist; author of the new novel, Carthage
"It's rare for a book this candid and
revealing to be so well written. The
combination makes this a marvelous memoir, one with an honesty and exuberance
that is unforgettable. With a reporter's
eye for detail and the narrative talents of a novelist, Franks brings alive a
love story, a behind the scenes look at a high-profile marriage and the inside
secrets of headline-connected criminal investigations. This is a book you don't want to put down and
wish it were longer when you finish."
—Dan Rather, author of the memoir Rather Outspoken, investigative reporter and newscaster
book is a treasure: a shining love story, a fascinating slice of history, a
paean to an extraordinary man. And a
terrific read–honest, funny, daring, and beautifully written."
—Francine Klagsbrun, author and columnist for The Jewish Week
"There is a surprise on almost every page of this book. It is a remarkably intimate tale of passion and politics, of growing old and staying young. " —Chris Wallace, Emmy-winning political journalist and anchor of Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.
"Lucinda Frank's memoir is truly a "portrait of a marriage" in all its intimacy. "Lucinda" and "Bob" – two highly accomplished, strong-willed individuals from different backgrounds, dedicated to separate professions, widely apart in age, sharply different in temperament – came to be bound together by the power of love. It is said all marriages may be different... but this one is a celebration of life, a reflection of what human spirit can achieve."
—Paul Volcker, former chair of the Federal Reserve

In the book Islam and the Future of Tolerance neuroscientist and mindful atheist, Sam Harris, tells the liberal minded Islamist, Maajid Nawaz, that to reform Islamic practices one must "pretend" that "jihad is just an inner spiritual struggle, whereas it's primarily a doctrine of holy war." Nawaz counters the notion that Islam cannot be reformed by declaring that "religion doesn't inherently speak for itself" because "no scripture, no book, no piece of writing has its own voice." Nawaz's statement speaks to the idea of interpretation and it is interpretation, specifically Western interpretation of Islam that has led to the branding of the religion as a haven for terrorist.
This talk will look at some of the representations of the religion in popular media and attempt to offer a re-definition of the some of the popular terms.

On Friday, April 8, we will hold "Project Wild" in the cafeteria of R.C. Ketcham H.S. on Myers Corners Rd., Wappingers Falls, from 6:30-8:30 pm. Although intended primarily for girls in grades 6-12, we will include girls in grades 4-5 on a space available basis.
The girls will be learning about animal needs, predator/prey relationships, and the problems of shrinking habitat and environmental pollution. This program of interactive games about wild animals and habitat was created and sponsored by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation. Gwen Higgins, Mary Ann Boylan, Marcine Humphrey, and I took the training offered by the Town of Poughkeepsie last May. All AAUW members are invited to come.

Who are the heroes?
The ones that are good
at killing in battle?
Heroes because they're strong?
I guess the Greeks thought so.
Bob Marley a hero for standing
for freedom?
Assange, Chelsea, Ellsberg?
I'd say so.
Obama, Bushes, Clintons...
Nobel Prize? Medal of Freedom?
You can tell the evil people
by the awards they get...
the whole thing is psycho-payola.
My landlord is my hero because
his little boy is happy.
My Buddhist collaborators are my
heroes because they are warriors
for the truth.
You're not my hero if you take a
dangerous selfie to show how
stupid you are.
You're not my hero if you practice
competitive posing.
It's possible you're my hero
if you win a hot dog eating
competition, I'm not sure.
You win the NBA championship...
I'm not impressed with self important
entertainment millionaires...let them
build a house for the poor with their
own hands...that would work better.
Fake sending your child up in the air
in a balloon? Win Olympic gold and
change your sex for attention and
money? Declare you're gay? Have
a job in government? Fight for your
right to be lazy and useless? Seem
important because of your breasts?
No heroes there...
Ali was a hero for being the worst
bad ass and standing up for his
beliefs...coming back to the ring
and still beating the best that there
were. Patton and Forrestal and
Kennedys and King were heroes
assassinated by their government.
Tupac, Morrison, Hendrix, same.
Don't talk to me about heroes.

What has Gotham to do with Jerusalem?
Article byOctober 2015
In the world of comic books, people don't get more evil than the Joker, but thankfully Batman exists to restrain the evil that the Joker unleashes on Gotham City. The struggle between Batman and the Joker entertains us, but these stories exhibit a dark pre-Christian aesthetic which hearkens back to the myths of the classical pagans. Like those old stories, the Batman mythos tries to make sense of the struggle between good and evil that every person faces in this fallen world. In fact, part of Batman's appeal lies in his everyman status as one of the few superheroes who doesn't have superpowers. Batman exemplifies the classical virtues or justice, wisdom, courage, and self-control in his fight against evil, but my Augustinian pessimism doubts that he can actually save Gotham from the Joker's destructive irrationality. continue

This week's guest post comes from Kinga, travel blogger behind Adventure Catcher. She explains 'I'm a girl from Poland who is seeking an adventure in life and looking for the beauty at every corner of the World. I ventured to leave my career in the corporate finance to travel the World. In 2014, I started my first journey and I went to Australia. That trip totally changed my life. At the beginning, I wanted to travel in order to improve my English, so after two and a half years, here I am with my new updated blog. I decided to run it in English to catch more dreamers in the world! Hope I have enough English skills to express myself and take you into the journey with me!'
1. What is your name and where do you come from?
My name is Kinga and I come from Poland.
2. What sort of traveller are you? Full time / part time / business / backpacker etc.?
If someone would have told me few years ago that I will be a travel blogger I would never have believed in that. Discovering the world, and the idea of traveling full time for a living was like an unattainable dream. I left my country to study English in an Australian college. After this course, I had planned to come back and settle down in Poland. However, I never came back on permanent basis and by some miracle, I have been traveling for almost 3 years now, calling myself a full-time traveller.
3. How do you fund your travelling?
When I first began planning to quit my job and leave for Australia, I had nothing more than a car. So, I decided to sell it. Surprisingly, the equivalence of the car was enough to buy a one-way ticket and pay for English course in Australia. While traveling, I found some seasonal work as a waitress and bartender. I rented a small room in Sydney and I shared it with two other people to save enough money to keep traveling. I realized that it takes less money to travel than I thought. I always eat at local places, use apps like Couchsurfing and travel like a traveller, not like a tourist.
4. Where is the best place you have ever been and why?
There are so many beautiful places on earth that it's hard for me to choose one. However, Thailand is a country that stole my heart. I love Thailand for its beautiful people, smiles at every corner and for the energy it gives me. I always mention Thailand with a huge smile on my face because this country never disappoints. This is the place, I could spend the rest of my life.
5. Where is the worst place you have ever been and why?
I think the hardest time I had was at border crossing between Cambodia and Thailand. This is the most dysfunctional border I crossed. It seems like all locals want to rip you off and they actually do. When you come to border by a bus, you have to rent a tuk-tuk or motorbike to take you all the way to the border and of course you have to pay double. Locals want to sell you fake visas and you have to be careful to find the right government building with a guard to acquire one. Ultimately, I paid an additional cost for "service" and for the lack of photo in my application. Lots of unnecessary cost which can hurt a traveller's economy. Luckily it was the only tough part of my journey. Cambodia is beautiful and worth to visit.
6. Do you have a Bucket List? If so where are the 3 top places on it?
To be honest, I don't have a bucket list. Life has always something new to offer. I think that over-planning can lead to tunnel vision and you risk to stop having fun during your journey. The bucket list are places you want to see and that is your priority. I think that being spontaneous and going with the flow makes travel awesome. You shouldn't stick to any list.
7. What 3 things (apart from the essentials – food/water etc) do you always travel with?
Go Pro – the last one I used to record my zipling adventure in Monteverde, Costa Rica
E-book – I love reading books and getting inspired by good stories
Souvenirs from my country – I like to have some small gifts for special people I meet on my way
8. What makes you happy and why?
Many things make me happy in life. I love people. When I am surrounded by open-mind and good souls, I am happy.
I am happy when sun is shining and I am out in the nature. Nowadays, people often don't appreciate small things in life and rush for good job, money and carrier. We all need nature. This is a great therapy to let yourself be surrounded by nature.
I am happy when I see smiles in my family. I love spending time in my hometown. As I am a travel blogger, I spent very little time at home. Since I have chosen to explore the world, I started to appreciate every single moment with my loved ones.
And of course, I am happy on the road. I like the unknown and to feel the adventure. I am Aquarius, I can't stay too long in one place. Journey within myself, wind blowing through my hair, just a one-way ticket, those are the things that make me feel alive.
9. How long have you been blogging and why did you start?
It has been 4 months since I posted my first article in Adventure Catcher. It may sound cliché, but I started blogging to inspire people to travel.
My mission is to encourage and give people the push they need to start traveling and exploring the world. This is one of the best things you can do in life. Many friends of mine say over and over again that they love travelling, but they don't have enough money to discover new places. I want to show that people don't have to spend a fortune to have a journey of their life.
10. What makes your blog unique and why should people read it?
The same as dreamcatchers that filter our bad dreams at night, we can only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Adventure Catcher shows only the possibilities are everywhere. I believe that you are the only person that can make you happy, no one else can. My goal is to inspire people to travel and discover the world. I believe that the first step is the hardest and I always say to my friends and followers that they should catch their dream and always seek new adventures.
From ESLT – thank you Kinga for taking the time to answer our questions. Safe Travels 🙂

My daughter and I had the pleasure of renting this unit and could not have been happier. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. I have rented many places and have never had an owner contact me mid- vacation to check in. It was obvious they wanted their guests to have a wonderful experience. The unit was spotless, well equipped and the view would take your breath away! Therefore, I highly recommend this condo.

I've been frequenting Target more and more often as of late, and I may or may not have been there every day last week. (Some things just can't be helped.) On one of my many trips for boring things like laundry detergent and shampoo I couldn't help noticing LOTS of cute things all over the store.
I spied a perfect rattan tray for drinks outside, x benches in an adorable color with the cutest white trim, and these fun cake toppers to make all your entertaining dreams come true. There was also a great new workout tank, a white blazer for polished looks all Spring and Summer, and the perfect pajama set with long sleeves on top and shorts on the bottom.
Target, you've done it again...
