Nearly 60 U.S. cities set to shower Trump with patriotic support
'This is not about left or right. We are proud of our president and of our country'
Since President Donald Trump's campaign and election, America has repeatedly witnessed vitriolic protests and riots.
In June 2016, leftist agitators in San Jose, California, threw eggs and water balloons at Trump supporters, stealing and burning their "Make America Great Again" hats.
And after Trump's election victory in November, rioters in Portland, Oregon, smashed windows and pelted police officers with objects.
By Inauguration Day, anti-Trump protesters in Washington, D.C., had lit a limousine ablaze and struck cops with rocks and bottles.
But now there's a new, peace-loving, Trump-backing crowd in town – make that in nearly 60 towns across America.
It's a patriotic crowd that describes itself as "the heart and soul of America."
And this crowd is pushing back with a series of Spirit of America rallies scheduled for Feb. 27 and March 4.
What do YOU think? Do you plan on attending the Spirit of America rallies? Sound off in today's WND poll!
The rallies "are inclusive, non-partisan, and open to anyone supporting President Trump in his efforts to bring back manufacturing jobs to America, put the security of our nation ahead of political correctness, improve our infrastructure, revitalize the inner cities and secure our nation's borders," according to rally organizer Debbie Dooley, a national co-founder of the tea-party movement.
The pro-Trump rallies, Dooley said, are meant to be a peaceful show of force from the "silent majority" that propelled the real-estate billionaire to the White House.
"President Trump's America First policies will grow our economy, create high-paying jobs and strengthen our national security," said Louisiana coordinator Rob Maness in a press release. "While we see a well-funded effort on the left bent on destroying anything that would strengthen our country, we will come together as a true, organic grassroots movement in support of the president."
Barbara Hemingway, a host of a March 4 rally in Sarasota, Florida, told WND the upcoming event is meant to counter the recent anti-Trump rhetoric and protests.
"We are also showing our support for President Trump because we are very happy that he is keeping his promises to the American people, especially to keep America safe and put America first in his policy decisions," Hemingway said. "We want him to know that we appreciate his hard work.
"We believe that our support of America and of our president, Donald J. Trump, can prove to be a driving force to drown out the 'protesters' and anti-everything people. … We are thrilled that he is continuing his message and striving to make good on all of his campaign promises, and we will continue to support him in his efforts."
Hemingway said the rallies are made up of "good, hard-working Americans letting the liberals know that we are not going to take their hateful, left-wing radical approach to destroying our country anymore."
She continued, "This is not about left or right. This is about right and wrong. Enough is enough! Our voices will be heard in a peaceful approach, and we will continue to let others know that we are proud of our president and of our country."
Betty Blanco, a coordinator for Colorado's rally in Denver, said, "Trump outlined his policies in his 'Contract with the American Voter' as found on the Internet, and we intend to hold him accountable to that contract. So far, he has done pretty much what he said he would do."

WND also spoke with Washington, D.C., rally coordinator Rob Sherwood, who is hosting a rally in President Trump's backyard, directly across the street from the White House.
But there's one problem: The Spirit of America D.C. rally is in need of funds to ensure its crowd of patriots can blast their powerful message of support straight to the president himself.
"Together with the other event organizers around the country, the organizers of the Washington, D.C., Spirit of America rally want to put on a first-class event," Sherwood said. "To do that, we'll need stage and sound equipment to be delivered and installed at the rally location. We've started a GoFundMe to cover the cost of these essentials."
Sherwood's GoFundMe account had raised just more than $2,000 of the $5,000 goal at the time of this report.
He expressed gratitude for the big-hearted financial support the rally has seen from Americans across the country.
"We've been amazed and humbled by the outpouring of generosity we've experienced from passionate conservatives around the country who have donated to help make the D.C. rally a great occasion," Sherwood said.

Doug's Favorite Scratch Pizza and Sauce
We've gotten over a foot of snow in Parkersburg, WV today so we are doing a little baking with the plant closed. My Dad taught me the fine science of making pizzas. He actually had a collection of twenty five pizza dough recipes. I would go over to my parent's house on a Sunday mornings and work with him to prepare pizza for a nice afternoon repass. We would always try to outdo each other on toppings. This of course made for interesting conversation.
Pizza Doug-h (it contains my name, so it must be good)
I always make a double batch, but each batch I make separately
- 1 packet or 1 tablespoon (5 ml) dry yeast.
- 2 tsp (30 ml) sugar
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) luke warm water
- 3 cups (700 ml)) all-purpose or bread flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- 2 tbsp.(45 ml) olive oil
- Heat ¼ cup (60 ml) of water for 12 seconds in the microwave
- Add sugar and yeast and gently stir. Let sit for 3 to 5 minutes to rise.
- I have used a food processor and a mixer and prefer the mixer.
- Add flour, water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the mixing bowl
- Using the dough blade in the mixer, mix until a ball is formed. You may need to add a little more water to help it in forming.
- Take the ball of dough and place in a covered bowl. I usually wipe the side of the bowl or container holding the dough ball with olive oil so that it will not stick.
Marinara Pizza Sauce
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the pizza sauce. Here is my favorite Marinara sauce which is easy and fast to make.
- 2 tbsp. (45 ml) olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves either mashed or finally chopped
- 1 medium purple or yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 (28 ounce) (840 ml) can of diced tomatoes
- 2 tsp (10 ml) ground fennel
- 1 ½ tbsp. (22.5 ml) sugar
- 2 tsp (10 ml) Italian spices (marjoram, basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, savory and sage)
- Sauté onions and garlic in a sauce pan until the onions are transparent.
- Add remaining ingredients simmer for 1 hour.
After the pizza dough doubles in size, kneed it, continually folding it onto itself. I usually let it rise twice. When ready, shape the dough into a cookie tray or an 18" (.45 m) round pizza pan. For thinner crust, roll out with a rolling pin. I often let the shaped dough rise a little more in the pan before baking.
First Baking
Pre-heat oven to 450F (230C)
Bake the dough for 10 minutes.
After the Pizza dough is pre-baked, add your favorite toppings.
The Toppings
Spread the marinara sauce on to the pre-baked crust, then add: different types of cheeses, sautéed Italiansausage, pepperoni, deboned chicken, New Orleans Central Market Muffuletta Olive Salad mix, raw egg to be fried on the pizza, sautéed broccoli, Swiss chard, and or spinach, mushrooms, sautéed onions, sliced avocado, fried potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke hearts, anchovies, tuna or whatever sounds good.
Final Baking
Place back into the oven. Bake at 450F (232C), until the crust is brown and the cheeses are melted (about another 10 minutes). Using a spatula, lift an edge of the baking pizza up to see if the underside is done (a bit brown). The dough should lift easily from the pan and not stick. This will signal that you are ready.
Remove from the oven. Cut and serve and wow your friends.

TAKING YOUR CAR TO KANGAROO ISLAND?Our friendly staff can assist.
D'Estrees Bay Beach House is located on the pristine southern coastline of Kangaroo Island.
Awake in a secluded haven with uninterrupted panoramic views of the coast and ocean. There is an easy 60 metre stroll to a long sandy beach, a beach boat ramp and other excellent fishing and surfing locations within close proximity.
This luxury contemporary property built in 2013 is architecturally designed with all modern conveniences, sleeping up to 10 people.
It is located within a 45 minute drive from Penneshaw (Ferry) and a 30 minute drive to the main township of Kingscote and airport.
This property is unavailable for use as any form of function centre which has food and alcohol, dancing, possibly live music, sporting groups or singles getaways and is available only for family, friends style holidays for the number of people stipulated by the guest/s at the time of booking.
We suggest you stock up before leaving Penneshaw as there are no shops at D'Estrees Bay. Then as you explore the Island enjoy the shops, restaurants, wineries etc - oysters at American River, honey farms, s and much more.....
No SMOKING inside the house.
BEDROOM 1 has a Queen bed
BEDROOM 2 has a Queen Bed
BEDROOM 3 has 4 king single beds and two single trundle beds
This house is beautifully appointed and a great deal of thought has gone into the high-end finishes, interior decoration and facilities. Our family of 5 loved staying here and there was plenty of room to easily accomodate all of us. The deep bath with a 180 degree coastal beach vista was definitely a highlight! Anne was very prompt and helpful with our initial booking and the owners, Peter and Jo, were exceptionally helpful and friendly both before and during our stay. The house is definitely in a remote location - 20 minutes along a couple of dirt roads, with just a handful of properties spread out along the track - which has its positives and negatives.In 10 dayswe only saw two other people on the beach. This meant we needed to be organised in terms of food and supplies but the well appointed house with fridge/freezer/pantry and basic supplies made this very easy. On the upside, we had no worries about traffic, noise or disturbance as we spent each day walking the 1 minute walk from the house down onto the most scenic and beautiful beach. The house is double-glazed throughout which meant it was easy to keep cool on hot days and would be good for a winter break too. If you are looking for a luxurious, secluded beachside getaway in the heart of a national park, this is definitely the place to go. If you are looking for a convenient base for a short stay to explore the island, it may not be your best option. We loved this house and will have some great memories of our holiday there. We highly recommend this accomodation. Anita January 2017

A Word From Troy Davis, Georgia State Death Row
The United States Supreme Court in deference to Roshashana has deferred judgement on Troy Davis's fate and if he will recieved a new fair trail until October 6th! Your Prayers are appreciated.
Excerpt: Amnesty International Report on theCase of Troy Davis
Where is the Justice for me? A plea from Troy Davis
Where is the Justice for me? In 1989 I surrendered myself to the police for crimes I knew I was innocent of in an effort to seek justice through the court system in Savannah, Georgia USA. But like so many death penalty cases, that was not my fate and I have been denied justice. During my imprisonment I have lost more than my freedom, I lost my father and my family has suffered terribly, many times being treated as less than human and even as criminals. In the past I have had lawyers who refused my input, and would not represent me in the manner that I wanted to be represented. I have had witnesses against me threatened into making false statements to seal my death sentence and witnesses who wanted to tell the truth were vilified in court.
For the entire two years I was in jail awaiting trial I wore a handmade cross around my neck, it gave me peace and when a news reporter made a statement in the local news, "Cop-killer wears cross to court," the cross was immediately taken as if I was unworthy to believe in God or him in me. The only time my family was allowed to enter the courtroom on my behalf was during the sentencing phase where my mother and sister had to beg for my life and the prosecutor simply said, "I was only fit for killing." Where is the Justice for me, when the courts have refused to allow me relief when multiple witnesses have recanted their testimonies that they lied against me?
Because of the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the blatant racism and bias in the U.S. Court System, I remain on death row in spite of a compelling case of my innocence. Finally I have a private law firm trying to help save my life in the court system, but it is like no one wants to admit the system made another grave mistake. Am I to be made an example of to save face? Does anyone care about my family who has been victimized by this death sentence for over 16 years? Does anyone care that my family has the fate of knowing the time and manner by which I may be killed by the state of Georgia?
I truly understand a life has been lost and I have prayed for that family just as I pray for mine, but I am Innocent and all I ask for is a True Day in a Just Court. If I am so guilty why do the courts deny me that? The truth is that they have no real case; the truth is I am Innocent.
Where is the Justice for me?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Australian Lleyton Hewitt continued his career revival by reaching the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Sunday.
Hewitt, 32, the champion at Flushing Meadows in 2001, recovered from a lapse in the second set to defeat Russia's Evgeny Donskoy 6-3 7-6(5) 3-6 6-1 in two hours and 55 minutes on the Grandstand court.
Hewitt will face either Germany's 12th seed Tommy Haas or 21st-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny for a berth in his first quarter-final at a major since Wimbledon in 2009.
Riding strong crowd support at Flushing Meadows after recovering from five surgeries in recent years, Hewitt won 24 of 31 points at the net in an aggressive display.
"It's always great to come back to where it all started for me," he said. "The atmosphere in New York suits my personality. It's a lot of fun here, always."

iPhone gains popularity in the enterprise
Although we usually see the iPhone as a great entertainment gadget less efficient for work, a recent research by the New York Times talks about the fact that during 2009 the number of companies using iPhone has doubled itself. In addition, around 70% of the companies listed in the fortune 100 are examining switching to the iPhone, mostly thanks to the improved support for Exchange.
Personally I find it hard to work with the iPhone mainly due to the lack of built-in multi-tasking (although this hack is really a great workaround).
As a result, I now work with the BlackBerry Bold on one hand (emails, documents and tasks, phone) and play with the iPhone on the other hand (photos, music, games, phone).

Last time, in Part 5 of this series, I looked at the consequences of what I characterized as "late-stage" global export mitigation. Late-stage global export mitigation is defined as the time when the different global regions considered in this series start cutting back on their exports as they reach a critical level of 1 barrel of petroleum per person per year (1 b/py).
As already explained I estimate that 1 b/py is what is would be needed to sustain a petroleum-driven food production/distribution system, and, drop below this level is assumed here to cause a proportional drop in population.
Mitigating exports from one region in this fashion has a corresponding effect of reducing imports to one or more of the other eight regions, depending on the export trend existing between the mitigating exporting region and the importing region. In turn, a reduction in imports causes the petroleum consumption rate of the importing region to be reduced, and, if the reduction is large enough to cause that region to drop below 1 b/py, then that importing region will start to cut, or mitigate, its exports to help stay at the critical 1 b/py level for as long as possible.
In other words, the export/import interaction between each of the regions has to be considered when the same global export mitigation scenario is assumed to be applied by each region.
As shown in Part 5, late stage export mitigation strategy mainly affected four regions: FS, AF, rAP and JP. Export mitigation did help AF and FS delay, by several years, the year when their per capita consumption dropped below the critical level. However, at least for AF, there were also negative consequences, because AF gets some small amount of petroleum imports from rAP, and so, when rAP started to mitigate its exports in 2033 this caused AF's per capita consumption rate to drop more steeply than if rAP was not mitigating exports. Similarly, JP's and rAP's per capita consumption rates drop more steeply when a globally applied late stage export mitigation strategy is considered. Even EU's per capita consumption and population was slightly affected by late stage mitigation. Starting in 2039, EU per capita petroleum consumption rate dipped below 1 b/py, which in turn, is predicted to cause a population decline in the 2040s.As I also mentioned at the end Part 5, I considered late stage mitigation a realistic scenario because I don't expect that the various regions would start to mitigate exports until being on the brink of starvation. That's just the way humans are.
However, I have to acknowledge that it is plausible for some form of earlier, global "mid-stage" mitigation strategy to be employed. This post describes my analysis of such a strategy.
Analysis Considerations
In this analysis mid-stage global export mitigation is defined as each region engaging in export mitigation as that region drops to a per capita petroleum consumption rate of 2 b/py.
Why 2 b/py?
Well, the world's present per capita petroleum consumption rate is slightly higher than 4 b/py (i.e., about 31 bby consumed by about 7 billion people), so 2 b/py represents globally about the half-way point down from the present consumption rate. The limit of 2 b/py also corresponds to double my estimated critical per capita consumption level, so this give us a good opportunity to see what might happen if these regions were to wake up and act in their own self-interest seemly well before being on the brink of starvation.
The analysis steps performed here are the same as done in part 5, except that now the mitigation point starts at 2 b/py, instead of 1 b/py. As done throughout this series (and the PIE analysis series before it) consumption rate is calculated as the sum of domestic production rate plus import rate minus export rate.
If a region's per capita consumption rate drops to 2 b/py, that region is assumed to reduce its export rate for as long as possible to keep the per capita consumption rate at 2 b/py. When 2 b/py can no longer be sustained due to export mitigation, it means that the region has stopped exporting entirely. At this point, the region's consumption rate is equal to the sum of its domestic production plus any remaining imports. When a region drops below the critical level of 1 b/py I assume that the population will start to decline proportionally (i.e., so as to keep per capita consumption at 1 b/py for the remaining population).
As done in Part 5, when a region starts to mitigate its exports, I calculated the region's exports to each of the other regions assuming a proportional reduction in exports to all of the other regions as compared to that predicted export from my PIE analysis in the previous series (starting here at Part 1).
Additionally, as also done in Part 5, I performed this analysis so as to account for the export/import interactions between each of the regions.
However, accounting for these interactions was much harder to do for the present mid-stage export mitigation scenario than it was for the late-stage export mitigation scenario considered in Part 5. For instance, for the late-stage scenario, five of the nine regions never reached 1 b/py within the study period, and the four that did, had relatively small export/import interactions with each other and the other regions, although as explained above there was an effect on EU.
For the present mid-stage export mitigation scenario, the interactions between the regions are much more extensive and complicated than for the late-stage export mitigation scenario. For instance now six of the nine regions drop to 2 b/py, and two of these, EU and CH, rely heavily on exports from, but also export to, the other regions. Even two of the nine regions that don't drop to 2 b/py, NA and SA, are affected because these regions also at least partly rely on petroleum imports for their consumption.
Consequently, it was necessary to perform multiple iterations to get a reasonable estimate of the export/import interaction between the nine regions.
If you are only interested in the results of this analysis, I would just skip the next paragraph, which is more of my note-to-self, describing how I did this iterative analysis.
Since AF's per capita consumption rate is already well below 1 b/py, I assumed that this region would not fully cut its exports in an effort to drive per capita consumption up towards 2 b/py. Therefore as a seed value, I used the per capita consumption rates for each of the regions considered in the global late-stage mitigation scenario, so that the export mitigation for AF would be considered from the beginning. In the first iteration round, for the other eight regions, using the late stage consumption rate as the starting value, I calculated the per capita consumption rate and to determine the year where 2 b/py was reach, if ever, during the study period. When a region reached 2 b/py, the first iteration total export rate mitigation, if needed, to keep per capita consumption equal to 2 was calculated. Based on this mitigated total export rate, if applicable, the first iteration proportionally reduced export rate to each of the other eight regions was calculated. After determining the first iteration proportional reduced export rate for all 9 regions, the first iteration mitigation import rates was applied to all of the regions as appropriate. That is, the proportionally mitigated export rate calculated for each region was applied as a mitigated import value to the other regions. This included mitigated import rates to AF assuming late stage mitigation. Next, the second iteration consumption rate for each region was calculated as the sum of the domestic production rate minus the first iteration mitigated export rate plus the first iteration mitigated import rate. Next, the second iteration consumption rate was used to calculate the second iteration per capita consumption rate, this value was used to re-estimate the year when export mitigation would occur in the study period. For regions dropping to 2 b/py, second iteration total export rate mitigation, if needed, to keep per capita consumption equal to 2 b/py was then calculated. Next the second iteration proportionally reduced export rate to each of the other eight regions was calculated for all 9 regions. Then the second iteration mitigation import rate for each of the nine regions was applied to all of the regions. The third iteration consumption rate for each region was calculated as the sum of the domestic production rate minus the second iteration mitigated export rate plus the second iteration mitigated import rate. I stopped at this iteration because the per capita consumption rate, using the third iteration consumption rate, was generally less than 5% percent different than the per capita consumption rate, using the second iteration consumption rate, for all regions and all years in the study period to 2065.
As there are multiple export/import interactions going on in this scenario, it was not obvious, to me anyways, how the mid-stage mitigation scenario would affect the per capita consumption rate and population change for the nine regions.
By way of review and comparison, I have shown the per capita consumption rate and population data for all nine regions even if they not affected by mid-stage export mitigation.
In the summary to follow, while I talk about export mitigation, I just show the resulting per capita consumption rate, and the population reduction consequences, if any. The solid purple and blue lines show these results for the present study
The per capita consumption rate and population rates scenarios based upon my original analysis assuming no mitigation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3), and upon the late stage global mitigation analysis (Part 5) are shown as dashed lines.
Assessing a Mid-Stage Global Export Mitigation Strategy
Figure 36 shows the ME's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
If this looks familiar to you, it is because it is the same as Figure 27 from part 5.
Just as in the late-stage mitigation scenario, mid-stage mitigation has no effect on ME, because ME does not get any substantial petroleum imports from any region.
ME's per capita consumption rate is governed by its predicted production and export rates, and the population growth rate predicted by the
census bureau. It is only in the final year of my study period, 2065 (red circle), that ME's per capita consumption drops below 2 b/py. In principle this could cause ME to start mitigating its exports. But, as already discussed in Part 2 (Figure 3) of my past PIE analysis series, ME is already on a declining export trend, which if continued, then all exports from ME will end anyways in the mid 2050s. Consequently, dropping below the 2 b/py mid-stage limit in 2065 is a moot point for ME as far as exports are concerned. US
Soviet Union (FS)
Figure 37 shows the FS's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
As illustrated, FS drops below 2 b/py in 2020, and from this point on until 2037, FS engages in export mitigation to keep the domestic per capita consumption at 2 b/py until the export rate drop to zero. After 2037, the per capita consumption rate decline to below 1 b/py in 2042, resulting in a population crash down to the year 1900 population level of 121 million by 2048.
At first it may seem surprising that, despite engaging in mid-stage export mitigation as early as 2020, FS still has a population crash in 2042, the same year as predicted under the late stage mitigation strategy discussed in Part 5.
This is because FS get substantially no imports from other regions, and therefore, it's per capita consumption rate is governed by its domestic production rate minus the export rate, if any with mitigation in place. Consequently, above the critical level of 1 b/py, it doesn't really matter whether FS's petroleum is consumed domestically or shipped abroad, and, when the production rate drops below 1 b/py, the predicted population decline begins.
But, from the standpoint of domestic standard-of-living, it would matter greatly to the people of FS whether they are consuming at a per capita rate of 2 b/py from 2020 to 2037 as predicted here for mid-stage mitigation, versus, 1 b/py starting in 2023, as predicted in Part 5 for late-stage mitigation.
Figure 38 shows AF's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
As already discussed in this analysis, since AF is already at about 1 b/py, I have assumed that AF just engages in late-stage mitigation, starting 2011, and continues export mitigation as long as possible to stay as 1 b/py.
However, global mid-stage mitigation still has an affect on AF, because AF does import about 0.4 bby from other regions. A substantial portion of those imports come from EU (0.14 bby in 2011) and from rAP (0.037 bby in 2011). The bulk of the remaining imports are from ME, with small amounts of imports from CN and FS.
Consequently, when rAP and EU start their mid-stage mitigation in 2011 and 2028, respectively, and then totally end their exports a few years later, in 2015 and 2030, respectively, AF's imports are detrimentally affected. This, in turn, is predicted to cause AF to cut its exports more steeply to keep per capita consumption at 1 b/py. This also causes AF's per capita consumption to drop more steeply and deeply once AF's export mitigation strategy is exhausted in 2020 and AF stops exporting altogether.
The consequence of this is that AF's predicted population decline is steeper than predicted assuming the global late-stage mitigation. For instance, with global mid-stage mitigation AF population in projected to crash down from 1.26 billion in 2020 to its pre-petroleum era population of 141 million in 2032, instead of in 2033 with global late stage mitigation, or instead of 2037 with the "solo" late stage export mitigation. But still this is much better than the population crash predicted to start about now under the no mitigation scenario in Part 1.
Figure 39 shows SA's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
As illustrated SA drops very close to 2 b/py in about 2055, but then, based on the prediction of continuing increasing imports from NA, SA's per capita consumption rate starts to rise again.
Of course because the per capita consumption rate is well above 1 b/py, SA is not predicted to suffer any form of population crash, but instead, just follow the US census bureau's predicted population increase until reaching a plateau of 632 million in 2060 and declining thereafter.
Like AF, SA is a presently a net exporter of petroleum, but, it still receives a significant amount of imports from the other regions. For instance in 2011, SA received about 0.6 bb of petroleum imports, with slightly half coming from NA. However there are still substantial imports coming from AF, CN, EU. FS was already projected to end all exports to SA in about 2010 even without mid or late stage mitigation. According to my PIE analysis, the trend is for SA's imports to increase, mainly from NA and CN.
The steeper decline in SA's per capita consumption from 2012 to the early 2020s in Figure 37 mainly reflects rAP's engaging in mid-stage export mitigation in 2011 and AF's steeper export mitigation from 2011 and onwards, due to its receiving less imports from the other regions. Likewise, reduced exports causes CN to engage in mid-stage export mitigation starting in 2034, and this in turn cause CN to export less petroleum to SA (as well as several other regions include rAP).
Now perhaps you start to see how this global mid-stage mitigation strategy causes feed-back loops that can cause some regions to experience additional declines in per capita consumption compared to late stage mitigation or the no mitigation strategies.
For instance, for SA, with global mid-stage mitigation, by 2020 per capita consumption is predicted to drop to 3.56 b/py, whereas with global late-stage mitigation the predicted per capita consumption rate was 3.69 b/py, and, with no mitigation, 3.77 b/py.
Continuing into the 2030s and 40s, with global mid-stage mitigation, SA's per capita consumption drops even more steeply, mainly due to declining imports of petroleum from CN and EU under this scenario. For instance, instead of steadily increasing imports for CN, under this scenario CN's imports peak and start to go down after 2033, and, imports from EU end entirely in 2030.
Subsequently, by 2050, SA's per capita consumption is down to 2.21 b/py. In comparison, at this point with late-late mitigation, per capita consumption was predicted to be 2.48 b/py, and, with no mitigation, 2.53 b/py. In other words, roughly 9 to 14% steeper declines in per capita consumption with mid stage mitigation for this net exporter region, with the assumption of correspondingly more negative economic effects on the region.
Of course, the countries of SA could decide to compensate that by mitigating their own exports, but, that is not part of the present scenario's assumption (i.e., no mitigating until reaching 2 b/py).
Figure 40 shows NA's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
Once again, similar to the late-stage mitigation strategy explored in Part 5, mid-stage global export mitigation strategy doesn't have much effect on per capita consumption, and the population trend is unaffected as per capita consumption stays well above 1 b/py.
The main difference from late-stage or no mitigation is that NA's per capita declines more steeply from 2011 to 2021. This is mainly reflecting the steeper export mitigation by AF and FS as they start to mitigate more steeply in 2011 and 2020, respectively. There are also small losses in imports from rAP, EP and JP as these regions start to mitigate in 2011, 2028 and 2030, respectively.
For instance, with mid-stage mitigation per capita consumption in 2020 and 2030 are 12.05 and 8.63 b/py, respectively. This compares to 12.72 and 8.97 b/py, respectively, with no mitigation, and, 12.17 and 8.81 b/py, respectively, with late-stage mitigation. That is, at most there is a 4 to 5% steeper decline in per capita consumption, with corresponding more negative economic effects as compared to the late-stage, or the no-mitigation scenarios.
Under this scenario because the existing export trends is for ME and SA to stop exporting to NA by 2027 and 2045, respectively and because all of the other regions, including AF, rAP, EU and JP, stop exporting before the end of the 2030s, all imports to NA are predicted to end by 2045.
European Region (EU)
Figure 41 shows EU's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
AF's steeper export mitigation through the 2010s and FS's export mitigation starting in 2020 with no exports by 2037 is the main cause of the steeper per capita consumption, although export mitigation by rAP in the 2010s also has a small negative effect.
EU starts its own export mitigation in 2028. As noted above, this is part of the feedback that causes AF's population to drop more steeply in the late 2020s. EU's export mitigation also contributes to the steep per capita consumption rate declines in NA and SA, as discussed above, as well as rAP's and CN's as discussed below.
However, even EU's own export mitigation in 2028 with complete cessation of exports in 2030, is not enough to counter-act the global effects of mid-stage export mitigation. Consequently, EU drops below the 1 b/py critical level in 2036.
The subsequent predicted population decline is longer and steeper then predicted under the late-stage mitigation scenario. EU's population drops from a predicted level of about 595 million in 2035 down to 503 million in 2055, before slightly recovering, on the promise of the long slow increasing export trend from NA to EU. Under this scenario by 2050, about 80% of EU's petroleum consumption is due to imports from NA with another 19% from SA and 1 % from CH, with substantially no domestic production.
In comparison, under the late stage mitigation scenario, EU's population was not predicted to crash until 2039, but then after 2042, its population slowly came back on the strength of continuing increasing imports from NA, SA and
However with global mid-stage mitigation CH starts to cut its exports in 2034. CH.
Figure 42 shows JP's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
Similar to past scenarios, the effect of the global mid-stage mitigation scenario on JP is not dramatic because JP gets most of its petroleum from ME, and the lesser export suppliers, NA and SA, are not mitigating their exports under this scenario.
However, AF's steep export mitigation and rAP's and FA mitigation starting in 2011 and 2020 and cessation of exports in 2014 and 2037 do cause JP per capita consumption to decline more steeply in the 2010s and 2020s. Adding to the decline are EU's mitigation in 2028. CN's mid-stage mitigation starting in 2034 has no effect on JP because CN's current export trend indicates that exports from CN to JP substantially ended in 2011.
JP starts its own mid-stage export mitigation in 2030 and stops exporting altogether by 2033, mainly to the determent of rAP and CN with much smaller effects on NA, EU and SA.
JP's population crash starts in 2038, one year earlier than predicted under the late-stage mitigation strategy, and two years earlier than under the no-mitigation strategy. The population drop from 107 million in 2037 to 72 million 2042 is slightly steeper than under the late-stage mitigation strategy, and, once again it is mainly the prediction of imports from NA that prevents a steeper decline.
The remaining Asia-Pacific region (rAP)
Figure 43 shows rAP's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
As with JP, rAP presently gets the bulk of its petroleum imports from ME, and therefore, we might not expect dramatic effects, although Figure 42 suggests that, over the longer term, under this scenario there are even more prominent effects than seen for JP and EU.
Per capita consumption is already at 2 b/py and so mid-stage mitigation starts immediately. But with its large population and relatively smaller domestic production, export mitigation is exhausted by 2015 when rAP stops exporting altogether.
Mid-stage export mitigation by EU (2028), JP (2030) and CN (2034) all tend to drive rAP's per capita consumption rate down, and by 2033, rAP drops below the critical level of 1 b/py. That's one year earlier than with late-stage mitigation, but still better than 2030, with the no-mitigation strategy. But the cessation of exports from EU and JP, and especially the mid-stage mitigated exports from CN, causes rAP's per capita consumption rate to drop further than for these other two scenarios.
In 2056 when ME stops exporting altogether, 3/4 of rAP's petroleum consumption is provided by NA (34%), SA (25%) and CN (16%), with the remainder from domestic production.
Of course this greater drop in per capita consumption caused a larger predicted population drop.
Under a global mid-stage mitigation strategy from 2032, the year before dropping below the critical 1 b/py level, rAP's population is predicted drops from 2.96 billion to 0.8 billion by 2055. A loss of 2.2 billion people in 23 years. This is even worse than the population declines predicted for rAP under the late-stage (1.3 billion by 2055) or no-mitigation (1.2 billion by 2055) strategies.
Finally, Figure 44 shows CH's per capita petroleum consumption and population trends with the global mid-stage petroleum export mitigation strategy in effect.
As you can see, AF's steeper export mitigation and rAP's mitigation starting in 2011, FS's mitigation in 2020, and JP's mitigation in 2030 all combine to halt any further increases in per capita consumption, and with this, likely any expectation of further economic growth.
CN is forced to start its own mid-stage mitigation by 2034. Even with mid-stage mitigation, CN is able to export some of its petroleum. In fact after 2055 there is a slight increasing export trend due to the prediction of a long slow increase in domestic production. Consequently, CN can keep its per capita consumption at 2 b/py for at least the remainder of the study period. CN's population is therefore expected to follow the trend predicted by the
census bureau. US
CN mid-stage export mitigation has its largest effect on SA, rAP and EU. For instance, under the late-stage mitigation or no-mitigation scenarios, by 2050 CN would be exporting 0.542, 0.213 and 0.042 bby to rAP, SA and EU, respectively, and by 2065 these numbers are up to 0.689, 0.282 and 0.0.056, respectively. In contrast, under the mid-stage export mitigation scenario exports to rAP, SA and EU are 0.124, 0.049 and 0.010 bby, respectively, in 2050, and up to 0.187, 0.076 and 0.015 bby in 2065, respectively.
It is hard to say who are the relative "winners" and "losers" under this global mid-stage export mitigation strategy.
On one hand, FS, rAP, EU, JP and CN all are able to stablize their consumption rate decline to 2 b/py by mitigating their exports. At least the people living in these regions would count this as "win."
Of these five regions, CN and FS fair the best, with the per capita consumption rate being extended for at least 36 years for CN (i.e., from 2034 to at least the end of the study period in 2065) and for 17 years for FS (i.e., from 2020 to 2037). For rAP, EU and JP, however, export mitigation only extends the per capita consumption rate of 2 b/py for two to four years.
On the other hand, I see several "losing" situations.
The biggest absolute loser, literally, seems to be rAP which is predicted to have a population crash starting one year earlier, and declining by about 700 million more people, than under late-stage mitigation, and overall a loss of 2.2 billion people.
AF is loser because export mitigation by other regions causes AF's per capita consumption to drop even more steeply than under late-stage mitigation, and therefore, the population crash is even steeper. There is still a predicted population decline of 1.1 billion people but the decline is over an even shorter period.
EU is also a loser with its predicted ocuring population crash about three years early and being a sustained population decline of about 90 million people, than under late-stage mitigation.
JP is also a loser in that its population crash of about 35 million occurs 1 year earlier and the decline is slightly steep and more sustained, as compared to late-stage mitigation.
While having no effect on population, at least economically, CN, SA and NA are losers, in that they all have steeper declines in per capita consumption, as compared to late-stage mitigation.
The mid-stage mitigation strategy has no detrimental effect on ME because it per capita consumption rate stays above 2 b/py until the last year of the study period and substantially doesn't import any petroleum.
Although, to me, it seems like an eternity since I last post in this blog, it has been less than two months.
Is there still anyone out there?
As my life returns more to something that passes for normal, I should be able to pick up the posting pace somewhat.
I still have one more mitigation scenario that I want to investigate as part of this series.At the end of part 5, I called it "full on" mitigation.
I think "full on" has an even remoter chance of occurring than "mid-stage" mitigation, but, it will be a useful exercise for better illustrating the relative vulnerabilities of the various regions towards export mitigation.

From Motherboard:
Your days tooling around town, hotboxing the car may be numbered. While driving impaired under the influence of marijuana has always been illegal, law enforcement and policy makers have had yet to arrive at a standard measurement to prove impairment. A new marijuana breathalyzer that immediately detects THC levels could bring them one step closer to regulating marijuana-related impairment on the roads.
During an initial field test of the breathalyzer, California police officers teamed up with Mike Lynn, CEO of Hound Labs, which developed the device, to pull over erratic drivers and ask them to voluntarily blow into the breathalyzer. Purely for testing purposes, the drivers didn't face arrest unless they were also drunk (one of whom was). A handful of drivers even admitted to smoking weed within a half hour or several hours of driving. And those who tested positive for THC were given safe rides home.
Unlike breathalyzers that may simply detect the presence of THC, the Hound Labs device detects the levels of THC in parts per trillion. "That gives us a very precise amount of THC in the breath. That number, that measured level will ultimately be correlated to driving impairment at roadside," Lynn said. "Any legislation related to impairment needs to reflect true data."

71 Illegals From Ebola Affected Countries Captured at US Border This Year
At least seventy-one illegal immigrants from Ebola affected countries in West Africa were captured at the US southern border this year.
FOX News Latino reported:
With a number of prominent conservative politicians raising fears that the Ebola outbreak could spread to the U.S. via the country's porous borders with Mexico and Canada, Customs and Border Protection and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sought to reassure a worried public that they are doing everything they can to monitor people entering the U.S. – whether legally or illegally – for the virus.
"CBP and the CDC have closely coordinated to develop policies, procedures, and protocols to identify travelers that are known by U.S. public health officials to have a communicable disease and to handle in a manner that minimizes risk to the public," Jennifer Evanitsky, a spokeswoman for the CBP told Fox News Latino in an emailed statement.
The CBP's statement comes after Republican senator and prospective GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul raised fears that infected individuals could enter the country through the U.S.-Mexico border, stoking more concern in states like Texas where Thomas Eric Duncan became the first American to bring the virus to the country.
The "border is not only a danger for national security purposes, it is also a danger for a worldwide pandemic should it occur," Paul told talk show host Glenn Beck.
A CBP report published online earlier this week on Breitbart.com broke down where undocumented immigrants are coming from and, between January and July of this year, at least 71 people reportedly arrived from the three West African nations hit with the current Ebola outbreak.
This news should not be so surprising considering we now know even children can cross over into the United States from Mexico.

While Apple's current generation iPhone 3GS and iPod touch G3 use ARM Cortex A8 CPUs and PowerVR SGX GPUs chips from Samsung, as part of their iPad announcement today, Apple also announced their own chip -- the Apple A4.
Custom chipsets have been on Apple's agenda since they bought PA Semi (Palo Alto Semiconductor) and Steve Jobs flat out said they'd be used in future Apple mobile devices. That future, it seems, starts now.
Battery life -- 10hrs for the iPad -- was stated as a prime reason for going with a custom chip. As is typical for Apple, they didn't give any details (and likely the reason they're making their own chips is so that they can keep those sorts of things secret from the competition), but since they're rumored to be a massive ARM licensee, and owns part of PowerVR maker Imagine, we're going to go out on a limb and guess those are still the CPU and GPU respectively.
How much RAM lurks inside the iPad, Apple also didn't say, and since we only found out the iPhone 3GS has 256MB was after the tear-downs, we'll likely have to wait on those for the iPad as well.
Of course, TiPb's mind immediately turns to the chances of having an Apple A4, or similar chip, in the 4th generation iPhone and iPod touch. Combine that with 512MB or more of RAM, a Cortex A9 multicore CPU, latest PowerVR SGX GPU, and little PA-Semi magic and... who knows how interesting 2010 will become!

Sickle-cell anemia
Sickle-cell anemia is a hereditary blood disorder associated with chronic anemia, periodic episodes of pain and other complications.
In those affected, the life expectancy of red blood cells is 6 to 12 times shorter than normal. Instead of being flexible and round, these cells become rigid and assume a sickle shape.
The change in shape prevents cells from entering smaller blood vessels, thereby depriving body tissues and certain organs of oxygen. This can result in lesions on the arms, legs or organs (spleen, kidneys and brain).

In 2014, you elected the Liberals to build Ontario up. Since then, we've built a strong economy, invested in health care and education and worked hard to protect our environment.
But we are hearing from people that we need to do more. That's why the Ontario Liberals have a Plan for Care and Opportunity.
Unlike Doug Ford's Conservatives, who would cut 40,000 jobs, including thousands of nurses and teachers, and the NDP, who would raise taxes and hurt the economy, the Ontario Liberals have a balanced, fully costed plan that invests in care and creates growth, good jobs and opportunity.
There's a lot at stake in this election. The choice is clear: care over cuts.
Here are the details of our Plan for Care and Opportunity.

Used His Home Computer to Receive and Store ImagesATLANTA – David Rice was arraigned Thursday, March 28, 2013, for possession and receipt of child pornography, and has been released on bond with conditions including electronic monitoring, and a requirement that he not have unsupervised contact with children.
"The possession and receipt of child pornography attempts to normalize the exploitation of children," said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. "It not only harms the minor victims portrayed in those images, it fuels a heinous market. We will protect children, so individuals in our District interested in acquiring and using these images need to understand that we will prosecute them."
"The child pornography cases we investigate reveal the disturbing and sobering truth that some adults will go to great lengths to sexually exploit children," said Brock D. Nicholson, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations, Atlanta. "While we cannot give back the innocence that's been stolen from these children, we can make sure that those who commit these horrible crimes are brought to justice."
According to United States Attorney Yates and the information presented in court: In April and May 2012, a federal agent with Homeland Security Investigations determined that Rice possessed approximately 950 files containing known or suspected child pornography at his home. Those files included images of minor girls being molested by adult males. In June 2012, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Rice's home. Agents seized his home computer during that search, which contained numerous images of child pornography.
The indictment charges Rice, 51, of Ellenwood, Ga., with receipt of child pornography, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years and a fine of $250,000. He is also charged with possession of child pornography, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years and a fine of $250,000. Both charges carry no less than five years to a lifetime of supervised release. His arraignment was held before United States Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill.
If convicted, Rice will be required to register as a sex offender. In determining the actual sentence, the Court will consider the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which are not binding but provide appropriate sentencing ranges for most offenders.
Members of the public are reminded that the indictment contains only allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government's burden to prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit http://www.justice.gov/psc/.
This case is being investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
Assistant United States Attorney Jill E. Steinberg is prosecuting the case.

Here are some of the insights we obtained from our meeting with our advisor, Sven from MDV:
Problem with server: Our new server in Hong Kong suddenly experienced an intermittent connection for a long period last Thursday. This is really unacceptable, considering that the usual server downtime rate is probably less than 1%!
Suggestion 1:Sven suggested that we switched to a premium server in Hong Kong or China to ensure that we do not face this problem again.
Suggestion 2: Embed server monitoring services, eg AlertBot, Uptime Inspector. These services allow us to find out about when our server goes down before our users do and allow us to intercept before any damage is done.
Other comments:
1. We need to get real events hosted on our site immediately. This is to facilitate our understanding of our users and quickly analyze if our system provides the real solution to our users.
2. Our question to local businesses and retailers should have had a filter, to only ask the businesses and retailers who have sponsored college events before. This would have given us higher quality information on the reasons why these businesses want to sponsor college events.
Some targets for next week:
1. Get 20 real events hosted on our site by next week. It would also be better to get 20 real events from one school, so we can get better data, then 5 events per school.
Getting down to work!


text: Posted September 11, 2002 Being that I normally just fly flights within a few hundred miles I've been toying with the idea of getting PSS 747 for some long flights. Just wondering what all you "long Haul" simmers do on these 7-8 hr flights. Do you use time compression, or just go watch tv or what? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exploring Commercialism
Deborah Venable
The dangers of over-commercialization of news and entertainment have been hashed and re-hashed for awhile now, but with the latest downturn in the economic benefits of news gathering over the past year or so, we may be in for interesting times in the near future. Newspapers are in trouble all over the country. So are television and some radio networks that supply the majority of the American public with "free" or almost free news sources. Coming soon to a computer near you, we hear that many online news sources will begin to charge for news. In a Financial Times report, Rupert Murdoch, laid it all out: Murdoch Vows To Charge For All Online Content. That is no small slice of the news pie, folks!
People are already lining up on one side or the other to state what they will or will not be willing to pay for. We should, however, keep in mind what we are currently "paying for" before we are so quick to line up on the wrong side. Here's my opinion: I am willing to pay for value and quality, thoughtful content – not mass-produced hysteria or brainwashing. Entertainment and news is awash in the latter because that is what sells!
Commercial radio and television have gotten ridiculous in a relatively short period of time. Commercials are big business and they do drive the direction that programming takes. The ridiculous part is that the cost of advertising has gone through the roof because the cost of programming has spiraled out of control. It is a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" sort of thing, but the result is that it takes too many commercials to produce too little programming quality. We are paying dearly, whether or not we realize it.
One of my pet peeves about the internet is the over-commercialization of it too. It is a dog-eat-dog world out here in cyberspace just as it is over the airwaves. Most of my favorite websites, especially for news gathering, are so covered in ads – with pop-ups and pop-unders and other neat little tricks that bring in revenue to the sites, plus large, looming ads in the middle of text you are trying to read – well, suffice it to say, it is bothersome. I understand capitalism very well, and totally approve of it in place of the alternatives, but when I have to deal with both the effects of capitalism while I try to stay abreast of the encroaching tyranny of modern times, I have to say, bring on more choices!
The overall quality of journalism must not be sacrificed any more than it already has been. We have a mainstream media that is practically state controlled now – even as we are force-fed the most mundane ads commercialism can dream up - while we are trying to glean facts and meaningful opinions. We cannot even escape into entertainment without the heavy dose of brainwashing commercialization overpowering our tolerance. Perhaps it is long past time for us to take a good look at what we are paying for and see if we should demand a much better product from both worlds. Let's just make sure we send a message loud and clear. We will demand what we are asked to pay for. Quality.
Some are saying that Rupert Murdoch is taking a big risk with his vow to charge for online content, but if he can pull it off with quality, and get rid of the commercialization, it will sell. Maybe that's a good thing – but I will be watching to see if he tries to have his "pie" and eat it too. In other words, I wouldn't expect to see commercials, Rupert, and I wouldn't expect to see anything but a free press at work – not some stand-in, state controlled media.
Now all we have to do is remind those who would entertain us that we are willing to pay for quality – and then remind them what quality is once again.

Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre (SRMHC)
The Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre (SRMHC) is here to serve the needs of all people, of all races, backgrounds, beliefs, and for all levels of need.
The focus is on providing teaching, care, nurturing, the clearing of emotions and balancing of body, mind and spirit for all who desire peace, harmony, health and progress.
This Centre was brought into being by Mata Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma and her husband Peter Sevananda in response to the needs of the age we live in. In 1988 the Mother Centre was given its permanent home in Somerset, England, and has continued to grow and develop its work, both here and through Sister Centres around the world.
All the centres are run by qualified teachers, healers and counsellors, living and working together as a spiritual family, with the guidance of Mata Yogananda's experience, love and wisdom. They aim to work with unconditional love at all times~ to offer healing and guidance to those who are suffering in life on any level ~ and see each person as unique with individual needs.
Founder Members of UK Healers. Members IYN, BWY, REPs.
The Mother Centre is a 17th century house with its surrounding buildings. The spacious grounds include a therapy pool and gardens for quiet reflection and relaxation.
Situated in the village of Queen Camel, the Centre is in a tranquil position, while also being within easy walking distance of the village shops. The surrounding area offers varied scenic walks, and the Centre is within reach of the coast.
The village is situated one mile south of the A303 and is easily reached from London and all parts of the country (see map on page 21).
There are trains from London – Waterloo to Sherborne and from London – Paddington and Bristol to Castle Cary. Car parking is available in the grounds.
The Centre holds courses and retreats throughout the year with comfortable accommodation and vegetarian home cooking.
As a UK Registered charity, donations make an enormous difference to our voluntary work and would be gratefully received. There are many ways to help: Tithe Box; Sustainers Fund; General Donation Fund; Payroll Giving and Legacies are gratefully accepted - please contact the Mother Centre for further details.
Your total donation will go directly to help those in need receive Healing, Counselling, Meditation and any other form of therapy that they need at the Centre or to a bursary fund to help people take our self-help courses.
We are a UK Registered Charity Nº800412.
Pure Meditation is the foundation upon which the Centre's work rests. Please come and join us for meditation each morning at 6.45am; or in the evening at 8.45pm, Monday to Saturday, and at 7.45pm on Sundays. All are very welcome.
Pure Meditation courses are regularly held for those who wish to find inner peace and stillness while making progress on the path to Self–Realization. It is an in-depth Meditation incorporating Raja and Kriya Yogas, of ancient origin, brought into its present form by Mata Yogananda – retaining all its essence and purity, yet perfect for the needs of life today. It provides all the tools necessary for peace, happiness, direction and fulfilment in all walks of life.
Pure Meditation Foundation, incorporating the Meditative Peace Breath, Relaxation and Visualisation are also taught – these are not the same as in-depth Meditation, but can be beneficial in many other ways.
Meditative state, Relaxation and Visualisation are also taught – these are not the same as in-depth Meditation, but can be beneficial in many other ways.
The Centre offers individual appointments for Natural Spiritual Healing and Progressive Counselling in Queen Camel, Somerset, with hospital and home visits arranged as required.
Natural Spiritual Healing benefits all – even those who appear healthy can appreciate its harmonising and balancing effects, as healing is also preventive medicine and helps maintain good health. It is for all ages from birth to the end of this life. Animals also benefit greatly.
Progressive Counselling can help with any of life's situations, and no problem is too great or too small to bring to counselling. Progressive Counselling is for anyone who wishes to resolve problems, enhance their life, change or choose direction, or understand themselves and others. Individuals, couples, families and business groups can all use counselling to find their way forward.
Professional training courses in the fields of Natural Spiritual Healing, Progressive Counselling and Transformation Hatha Yoga, lead to a diploma on successful completion. These courses are equally valuable to intending practitioners and as Self Development. Everyone has inner abilities, which they may be unaware of – these can be fostered and developed safely with professional guidance.
Courses in giving healing to animals are also held regularly, and there are a number of weekend courses on the programme to assist self development, progress and to release creative potential.
Non-scheduled courses are also run including Holistic Energy Care, Spiritual Knowledge and Philosophy, and further teacher training courses; please enquire for details.
There are so many times in life when we need nurturing – whether because of illness, bereavement, burn out, change in our circumstances, or dissatisfaction with ourselves. Sometimes we simply want a place to go where we can be ourselves, or find ourselves. Throughout the year, the Centre offers a welcoming haven for your individual needs, with warm, comfortable accommodation and vegetarian home cooking. Special diets are catered for as needed. There are two Meditation rooms, a library, log fire in winter, and comfortable sitting rooms.
If you wish to receive healing or counselling, or take part in Aqua or Transformation Hatha Yoga, please tell us when booking.
Many different kinds of retreats can be arranged to suit individual needs. Celebration retreats, in the silence, at Christmas and Easter are a joy to the whole being. Many retreatants also take the opportunity to refresh and revitalise themselves spiritually at silent weekend retreats.
Our Centres are very different, each reflecting the flavour of the country and climate they are in, each run by residents of that country who have received in-depth training from the Mother Centre. We have faith that in each Centre you will find the same welcome, the same unconditional love for you and for all of life.
Please ask if you would like to arrange a visit in person. We are always happy to hear from you, and to show you around the Centre. We are here to serve.
It was with great joy that the first open meditation evening was held at the Mother Centre many years ago; souls coming together to imbibe Divine Peace and Love, to seek Self–Realization through Pure Meditation. Since that time many open meditation evenings have come into being around the world ~ like stars of Love shining their light into the darkness of separation, delusion and suffering.
We hope that many more souls will be moved to open their hearts and their homes in this way, until the world is full of the Light it so urgently needs. We look forward to you joining us ~ please look on our website, in Dharma or ask the Mother Centre for the latest details.
The peace ~ oneness in Meditation ~ joy for all to share.
The Arms of the Family offer bed and breakfast and/or dinner to students/friends of the worldwide Self Realization Meditation Healing Centres: for those friends who are travelling and wish to find a loving place to rest their heads 'en route' and know that they will be welcome. In this way we hope to bring a sharing of life with those of a like mind.
Details are here on our website, and in Dharma magazine.
A comfortable seat for meditation is useful in that it can help us to forget our body: this can be of great help in focusing the mind.
Our Meditation Stools have been designed with the guidance and blessing of Mata Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma. They have been designed to support our spine and develop our posture as we meditate and at any time we may need a comfortable support.
They are made from beech for strength, upholstered in different grades of high-quality foam for support and covered with the best material to resist stain and be washable. A variety of colours and patterns are available - please contact us for further details. Please note that materials may differ from those illustrated.
The stools are hand-made individually ~ with love. They are available in two sizes, adult or child, and should last a lifetime.
BOOKS, CDs, TAPES, PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS
Daoseva Press is the sole publisher of Mata Yogananda's publications. Please see the publications section of this website for further information.
For name–giving, births, spiritual marriages or partnerships, and on transition from this life. Blessings for homes and for all occasions can be arranged.
For those wishing to take an individually structured programme for Self Development, planning meetings can be arranged with a Senior Trainer.
Lectures and workshops on a wide range of subjects to suit all interests can be arranged either at the Centre or at your group's venue. In addition, teachers from the Centre visit hospitals, GP surgeries and schools on request to provide yoga classes, workshops, courses and lectures for patients, students and also for professional people. These are just some of the ways that the Centre helps others to improve concentration, relax and come into harmony – so that life can be thoroughly enjoyed.
Each year international teachers from the Mother Centre travel through the UK on workshop and lecture tours.

My Louisiana Sky
This children's book is by the same author as Keeper of the Night, the one that Shaunna works for. I liked it. It was alright.
The book is written for youth, so it was very easy to read. It is about a middle-school aged girl who has parents that are mentally retarded. It was a decent read. I think that kids would like it a lot. If you're an adult and looking for something Louisiana Sky-esque to read that's a little older, try The Secret Life of Bees.

In terms of designer handbags, refined well-known designer handbags are coveted by most women as their best accessories. They frequently feel more self-assurance with a pricey bag in their own hands. Yet they can be not so cheap that a lot of people cannot manage them.
Nevertheless, a great deal of Replica handbags is affordable for them. More and more folks incline to hold replica designer handbags in their own hands. The original notion has broken that designer handbags are constantly in stars' hands. Eventually women could even have their own designer handbags.
Buying replica handbags really are a good encounter. Referring to shopping, most women generally are mad about the discount or cheap ones. They frequently believe that how much they are able to save from this encounter that is buying. So, that's the reason women would rather spend little quantity of money on replica handbags than purchasing ones that are authentic.
Thanks to the makers, they may be able to make these quality handbags that are not dissimilar to the ones that are real. Regardless of which elements like print, color, substances or design, replica handbag still do their best along with the one that is real. In the event you are holding an imitation handbag in your hand, you do not need to worry about that the difference is told by someone. No one can recognize the real one and your bag that is copied, nor can pro.

Unveiling at the OMOMA
On the scene with your trusty reporter, John Pototschnik
|Aire O. Gance - Composition No. LXVIII - 450"x 540" - Canvas - 2012
By choosing to present a blank canvas, Gance is at once saying nothing, while at the same time saying everything.
Well known art critic, Payd de Play, said, "The monumentality of this iconic masterpiece is thoughtfully cradled in a hand crafted 24kt gold leaf frame, perfectly complimenting the purity of this brilliantly white canvas, an expression of an apocalyptic battle that will end in eternal peace...a sort of cosmic vision." Mr. de Play went on to say, "Many of the people in attendance that I have spoken with are stunned by Aire's cunning ability to mine the depths of their consciousness with this insightful work. Mr. Gance's 'inner necessity' to express his emotional perceptions led to the development of his unique style of painting. It's just brilliant, the very pinnacle of Aire O. Gance's career."
E. Lee Tist, editor of Total Vanity magazine, motioned to me from across the room. He was bubbling with enthusiasm, "Isn't this just a fabulous evening?" he asked, "And the painting, my, it's to die for. The whiteness of the canvas beckons us to the white light. Its very luminescence conveys a sense of infinity through the lack of volume and the absence of perspectival illusion. Out of this void, the viewer can sense the rising of the dead."
It was truly a spectacular evening. My head is still spinning in an attempt to decipher the iconography of the work, the key I'm sure, to unlocking the real theme of this painting.
(Many of the comments used to describe, Composition No. LXVIII, are the actual words of various art critics describing other abstract works of art. This further demonstrates a point I often make concerning the importance of clearly communicating what we want to say when we paint. Otherwise, any intelligent sounding interpretation will suffice).
"The supreme tragedy is when theory outstrips performance". - Leonardo da Vinci

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rav Yaakov Koppel Barminka zt"l. He was 94.
Rav Yaakov Koppel was one of the founders of the community of Komemiyus, Israel.
Rav Yaakov Koppel was born in Romania to a family of Vizhnitzer Chassidim. His parents were Rav Shimon and Sarah. He was named after Rav Yaakov Koppel Chossid, the progenitor of the Vizhnitz-Kosov chain and a talmid of the Baal Shem Tov.
After immigrating to Israel, Rav Yaakov Koppel was one of the founders of the kehillah of Komemiyus together with Rav Binyomin Mendelson, and throughout his life, hand in hand with Rav Mendelson, he promoted the mitzvah of Shmittah across the country and gave his life for the sake of its observance.
Throughout the years, he served as the shamash at the main shul in Komemiyus, tending devotedly to all the needs of the kehillah.
All his life, he sat and learned Torah and at the central shul in Komemiyus. He maintained a close relationship with the admorim of Vizhnitz, the Imrei Chaim and the Yeshuos Moshe.
He is survived by his son, Rav Shimon, and his daughter, whose husband, Rav Eliezer Vind, is the mashbak of the Belzer Rebbe.
The levayah was held at the Vizhnitzer bais hachaim in Bnei Brak, where he was buried alongside his wife.
Yehi zichro boruch.

Author: Shannon Hale
Series: The Books of Bayern, #1
Age Group: Young Adult
Format: Hardback
Pages: 383
Published: May 13, 2005
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Original Price: $17.95
Source: School Library
My Rating: * * * * *
She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue, a word she could not taste. Her name was Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, and she spent the first years of her life listening to her aunt's stories and learning the language of the birds, especially the swans. When she was older, she watched as a colt was born, and she heard the first word on his tongue, his name, Falada.The Good:
From the Grimm's fairy tale of the princess who became a goose girl before she could become queen, Shannon Hale has woven an incredible, original and magical tale of a girl who must find her own unusual talents before she can lead the people she has made her own.
This is my second time reading The Goose Girl, and I still thinks its amazing! I love it when fairy tales are retold, as long as they're retold well. I don't want an author to only put half her/his heart into it. And trust me, Shannon Hale has not put half a heart into this story, she has given one heart and a half. This tale is amazing! Ani/Isi/Crown Princes/goose girl/yellow lady(girl), whatever you wish to call her, is an amazing character. At sixteen, her determination was wonderful. Like all teenage girls, she wanted to give up at times, but she always ended up pursuing her crown. Plus, the writing is magical and wonderful. Always a bonus when a book has excellent vocabulary and writing style.
The Bad:
I don't have much too complain about for The Goose Girl. If I had to say something bad, it would be that at times the book became bland, and it took me awhile to get back to a good part. Otherwise, there was not anything really bad.
The Guy:
The main guy in this story was Geric, the soldier(or is he?). I liked that The Goose Girl, did not necessarily emphasize the romance. It was more a tale of adventure, which is a good change. These days, books revolve around girl x boy, which I enjoy, but like I said before, a change is always welcome. Well, let's describe Geric. He was tall, had broad shoulder, dark hair and eyes. The book was more descriptive but that's basically it. Geric was humorous, gentle, and loving. I admired him. But, I will say that he does not show up much in the book, so you don't really get to know him that well.
The Judgement:
I really enjoyed this book. And trust me, when I re-read a book, it's because I liked it. The characters are wonderful, and Ani has a superpower. Awesome, right? The writing is beautiful. What more could you wish for?
The Author:
Shannon Hale is the New York Times best-selling author of six young adult novels, including the Newbery Honor book Princess Academy, two award-winning books for adults, and the upcoming Midnight in Austenland (Jan. 2012). She co-wrote the graphic novel Rapunzel's Revenge and its sequel with husband Dean Hale. They live with their four small children near Salt Lake City, Utah.
