*ENCHANTED SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGS*: HOW INVOKING HEKATE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER
As you may have guessed from my previous blogs especially as its been quite awhile between blogs its been an incredible year for me in so many ways. Anyway the point is in all that time I've found that Hekate Triformis is a wonderful Goddess to work with in all either with all her three faces and/or her singular forms. I especially love to invoke her in her Chthonic Crone phase as she has taught me that great things can come from truly exploring our "shadow side" as Carl Jung the famous psychoanalyst has always written about.
The first time I truly invoked Hekate within my ritual her power was almost too much for my human body to take. I felt her within me and it was as if my body was glowing and stinging. I started to feel hotter and hotter and started sweating whilst I was channelling her and I could feel her "mind power" within me. My body was really buzzing as if I'd taken something as it takes awhile to get used to her powerful and ancient energies within our human form.
After awhile I felt quite faint and then I started to feel like I was going to black out any second. I did feel fear but she told me not to be frightened and to put my mind back into the alpha state and if I could right down into "theta".Then my entire body felt like it was full of adrenalin and I kept on feeling like little shots of electricity throughout the extremities of my body. Then I felt so nauseous and then I fell back onto the one and only chair (luckily) that I keep in my Ritual Room. I did black out for maybe only a few seconds. Hekate then kept on communicating within me to rest and that my mind and soul are far more powerful than my imperfect mortal human body can ever be.
This is certainly true for me, lol, as I have a number of incurable chronic pain conditions. But Hekate made sure that I was able to complete my magickal working that was incredibly important as it was for someone incredibly close and dear to me whom I love and no it wasn't my husband. Anyway after sitting on the chair and resting for a few minutes somehow Hekate had enabled my body to cope with her immense power so that I could get up and complete my ritual which had to be done that particular night. After all that I got up and felt energised with Hekate's energy it was incredible as all mine had gone.
One of my Hekate statues & I love this modern interpretation of her
Hekate then guided me back into my ritual and spellcraft. My magickal working also involved a lot of ecstatic and rhythmic movement. Through Hekate I was able to open a portal to the astral realms so that I could properly help my loved one. I was there out in the astral for quite a long time even though it seemed like only a few minutes. After I had finished my entire ritual I couldn't believe that it was 3.15am. Where that time went I truly don't know accept to say that I think that time over there is far different than it is here which reminded me of my near death experience.
That night Hekate also communicated with me many things most of which are too personal for me to share. I can say that she told me how to get a certain magickal project that I had been working on for some time to manifest and after taking all her advice it finally "manifested" for me and everything fell into place. Just like sorting out a deck of cards suit by suit. Hekate certainly holds the "keys" to our psyche and she certainly guided me that night not only by testing me to a degree but she also rewarded me with knowledge and success in two very different but very important magickal workings.
I know it can be really hard work and at times truly and deeply painful to truly explore our own deepest darkest fears that lurk deep within our psyche beneath our "public persona". However I've found like many before me and I'm sure so many after me that it's not until we all face our own "inner demons or daemons" as some like to say, that we are truly free.
To be free of things that can hold us back either in our everyday mundane or magickal life makes it even more wonderful to finally come through "The dark night of the soul". I feel so totally empowered and not afraid anymore of so many things that I used to be. I truly love Hekate and I've been a Devotee of hers for about two and a half years now. I do devotions to her everyday and sometimes twice a day.
I've also bought another statue of her this time showing her in her Triformis form as a way of thanking her. As well as changing my altar to make it far more Reconstructionist Hekatean style rather than Wiccan style. I haven't ever had a representation of the God and I don't feel that I need to after 2000 years of Patriarchy ever since Emperor Constantine made Christianity the "state religion of the Roman Empire". However I have thought of getting a statue of either Apollo, Hermes or Lucifer as in many writing these three are linked with Hekate also as well as some others too.
Anyway I've digressed from what I was writing and I would have to write a book to explain all the reasons these three and other's from the Greek and Roman Pantheon are linked to Hekate. But if you want to know more there are some excellent resourceful books available about Hekate if you want to know more? Any books by Sorita D'Este and David Rankine are a really good way to start really understanding Hekate and all their books are very well researched and documented.
Now back to explaining about her form known as Hekate Phosphorus as she illuminates the darkness for us to see the way through. Then when we've finally found our way through she is incredibly generous with her rewards. Which for me has been getting over a dreadful phobia and a number of tragedies in my life. I hardly get any nightmares anymore either but when occasionally I do, she is there. She steps in to find me even in the scariest of landscapes and leads me through with her torches and her Incredible dogs out to freedom and at times true gnosis is possible through her. As I finally get to understand what my strengths truly are.
Then when I reach "Gnosis" I can then join with the one, the All, The Cosmic Soul, Divine Spirit, Earth Mother, Universal Consciousness, the One that is God and Goddess combined in polarity yet duality in perfect simplicity, synchronicity and design. Whatever you like to call him, her, it, them it's an incredible being! So like many before me I've found the pathway to The World Cosmic Soul and when I do occasionally really get to that level it is pure bliss, love, compassion, beauty just everything as words can't ever do her, him. them or it justice. I could remain there forever in bliss without any worries but of course nobody can stay there forever. Well not while their alive anyway. lol
They were always there but after years of indoctrination via the education system, religion and societal norms most of us quite often lose touch with who we truly are by the time we reach adulthood. By then we've usually been molded by our parents, teachers, priests or pastors along with our corrupt politicians in our increasingly materialistic society. We are people with incredibly beautiful and powerful souls that are meant to be free and not entrapped and enslaved by what other's say and tell us what's right.
I don't think I can ever thank Hekate enough in all her forms but especially the incredibly compassionate, loyal and loving form known as Hekate Soteria. She is the world cosmic soul, enough for opening my eyes not only to my own inner depths within my psyche as well as standing up for what I believe in no matter what the consequences.
However I've found with the guidance of one of the most ancient archetypes of the Goddess has lasted through so many cultures from ancient Sumeria, ancient Egypt as some scholars believe that she really is Isis as well. That they are in fact one and the same. No wonder Isis was and is still known as the Goddess of 1000 names. Then Hekate was revered totally in ancient Greece and then Ancient Rome and her "cult' one could say has always been a part of nearly every culture in one form or another.
So there you have it. I am a devotee of Hekate and this is yet another experience that has changed my perceptions of reality right down to the core of my bones. I've also found that I am "clairsentient" as well as I sense disincarnate spirits when they are around and I feel their feelings. I've occasionally seen spirits and other paranormal phenomena in my life. Like this year I helped a soul from the late 1900's back to the light after much kinetic and activity too. My mind is full of so many things to write about but I know that I can't right now. However I will write about that and many other experiences in other blog posts as its nearly 4am here and I have to be up relatively early tomorrow
I will be blogging regularly now and I'm aiming for one blog a week. That's my goal to discipline myself to do so for Hekate and myself.
Also Happy Yule to those of you in the Northern Hemisphere and Happy Litha for those of you living in the Southern Hemisphere like me. As well as enjoying Xmas with your families and it's when we show tolerance and acceptance of other's religious beliefs and pathways, then it helps other's realise that Witches, Pagan's, Mages and Occultists don't have two heads and that deep inside we are all from the same family........the human family! Also when we're cut we all bleed the same colour - red!

social activism | Steve Rawson's Media Blog
Kony campaign a model of ‘slacktivism’?
Has the Kony campaign highlighted the sheepherding ability of social media activism and given it a bad name?
The San Diego based charity, Invisible Children, headed by film maker and co-founder Jason Russell, who made the film, have been accused of supporting violence through military intervention and of promoting a simplistic ‘seek and destroy’ simplistic solution to a complex problem, making a bad situation worse.
This is a clever video campaign and may be a far more interesting communications case study on how small charity organisations or issues, products etc can optimise new media to grow globally. It is far less impressive when dealing with the complex issue of negotiating peace settlements and re-building broken and dysfunctional societies.
As one pundit described it: An essay in slacktivism?
In the meantime maybe Rihanna’s PR consultant might advise her to put her top back on.

Putting the FUN in Funeral | Sarah Caroline
Not many people understand that my grandmother‘s visitation and funeral were happy occasions for my family and I. I mean that in the best way possible–not that we’re happy she died and we no longer have her here on this earth–but we’re happy she’s with her Jesus, singing praises to Him and experiencing the splendors of Heaven with her body completely restored.
“This has been the best Friday night ever,” said my nine year-old little cousin after my grandmother’s four-hour long visitation. She and my other little cousin held the door for visitors all evening long and even asked the funeral director how old you had to be to get a job there. Typical Young.
I was practically raised in the funeral home. If there was a visitation, no matter if they were our family, friends, or just an acquaintance, my family went. I’ve spent many an evening there. The directors know my family by name and go out of their way to come speak to us. Lots of friends my age do not understand this. Some of them have never even been to a funeral (which just blows my mind)! To me, going to the funeral home for one who is saved is a celebration of their life and a celebration of their home-going. Yes, I cried several times…that’s normal, but to see so many friends and family gathered to honor a life well-lived also always makes me smile! Quite honestly, it’s almost like a party.
To the ones who get that, thank you! If you just don’t get it, I hope that you one day will.
When planning my grandmother’s funeral, we were able to joke with most of the staff at Kerr Brothers. That’s exactly what my quick-witted grandmother would’ve wanted, too. They kept me laughing all morning long! After all was said and done, I told the main man who was helping us that they sure did know how to put the “FUN” in “funeral!” And they really do–if you let them!
If I may, I would like to share a few things I have observed and learned throughout this process that will perhaps help you in some way–whether to give you an idea of how to comfort a friend following the death of a loved one or to give you an idea of how to honor your loved one.
My Advice to Funeral Planners
Give people something personal to remember your loved one. We put a basket full of my grandmother’s most-requested apple cake recipe next to the guest book.
Make your loved one’s funeral personal. Play their favorite hymns. Display unique awards. Show the funny pictures. Lay out their Bible for people to flip through.
Make a slideshow. According to countless cousins and their mothers, I need to start a business making slideshows for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and funerals. Windows Movie Maker, people. Add a nice slide transition and people will think you worked really hard. “The only money you’ll be out is the business cards to set out at the funeral home.” Yes, I heard this multiple times.
Wear flats to the visitation. I could kick myself with my heels for not doing this. I knew better.
Take pictures. It’s rare to have so much family gathered all at one time. Make the most of the opportunity and take a picture, even if it annoys all the cousins. You’re sure to treasure it for years to come.
Make sure you have easily accessible tissues during the funeral. I played the prelude with my mom for my grandmother’s funeral and did not get to sit next to my purse as I had previously planned. This left me without any Kleenex…pretty much the worst feeling ever when you’re sitting in the front row bawling your eyes out as your mom sings “Serenaded by Angels.” This scenario led to my older, braver cousin walking out to find Kleenex and returning with a long, endless string of toilet paper for us to share. Hilarious!
To Funeral Goers
If you are looking to take food to a friend whose loved one just passed away, I am going to suggest a breakfast item. (In our case, our church was wonderful about providing food for after the funeral and throughout the week we had this new-found freedom of being able to go out to eat all together, so full-blown meals weren’t exactly necessary.) Our sweet friend Terri brought us a huge, cheery basket of assorted delicious items from Great Harvest Bread Co. that included a loaf of some kind of lemon tea bread, muffins, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. My mom’s sweet coworker brought us two loaves of homemade pumpkin chocolate chip bread which has also come in handy in the mornings.
If you’re looking to buy a casket spray or a gorgeous arrangement of flowers, look no further than E. Stephen Hines Florist. The best bang for your buck. (We also received a lovely afghan and a beautiful windchime, which is a great alternative to flowers for people with brown thumbs like myself.)
One of the sweetest things we have received is money to go out to eat. Some days you just don’t feel like cooking.
Send one. Sign your own name. Add a Bible verse. It really means a lot.
“Are there any special men in your life?” Surprisingly, out of 197 people speaking to me in one evening, I only got this question about 3 times. There are lots of special men in my life, but I would hope if there were an extra special man in my life, this question would not have to be asked because it would be obvious.
Hugs are always appropriate at funerals! Squeeze the family to pieces.
If God lays it on your heart to do something, just do it. Offer to haul some garbage. Help rearrange furniture. Vacuum the house. Take the food. Oh, the food. If you don’t believe in the sovereignty of God, you should’ve looked in my refrigerator on Friday afternoon. Not only did we have assorted breakfast items, we had a feast that was perfect for lunch on the go and post-visitation eats. My cousin’s daughter decided to make us two huge trays of ham and turkey sandwiches sliced in quarters. Our friend Joyce brought all kinds of canned drinks and bottled water. Our friend Judy dropped by with a big pot of homemade vegetable beef soup. Our friend Tim brought a red velvet cake his wife had made. Our friend Annette brought a large container of coffee. That’s not even everything, but the beautiful thing is none of these people talked to the other and they just dropped by. Amazing! (My two-cents: One thing that would be really helpful to drop off to someone is paper plates and cups. Chips would be something easy but useful as well.)
That’s the best advice I can give. If God lays it on your heart, no matter how odd it seems, DO IT. You will be a blessing.
I’m so thankful God blessed us with happy and humorous memories during this whole experience. His mercies never end! As my mom said to our Red Lobster waiter who asked what we were celebrating when we went out to dinner the night of my grandmother’s death, “We’re celebrating a life well-lived.” May you find ways to celebrate God’s grace even in the sad times.

Love your heart!! 🙂 I too pretty much grew up in the funeral home. We lost a lot of people when I was younger. It was like a family reunion. The kids played outside, the adults sat and reminisced. It wasnt a bad thing at all. – We have a lot of friends who don’t want their children to go to funerals. I just don’t understand that. – – Love you sweet pea!!!
🙂 I just don’t get it either! Thanks, Mandy. Love you, too!

You are so awesome! I am going to share this with everyone, this is how a funeral should be. I get it, that’s how my Dad’s was.
I’m glad you get it, Bootsie! 🙂 I sure wish I would’ve been able to know your dad. ❤

The Chronicles of Narnia: Lucy Pevensie [ENFP] – Funky MBTI
The Chronicles of Narnia: Lucy Pevensie [ENFP]
Date: May 11, 2020Author: Charity
Lucy is inquisitive about Narnia from the first moment she enters it. She judges Mr. Tumnus on what is apparent and obvious in his actions, while holding an idealistic view of him that helps him choose to do the right thing (she finds him a fine faun, is certain he’s good like his father, etc). Lucy quickly adopts and repeats other people’s ideas; she believes in the witch, because Tumnus told her about it, also that “some of the trees are on her side.” She’s delighted by the ideas that Narnia sparks in her (talking animals, magical worlds, the power of the deep magic, etc) and quicker to see the big picture than her siblings – when she realizes Narnia has changed, she mourns that now “all my friends are dead!” She’s quick to adapt, despite her initial disappointment, and takes an interest in impacting Narnia however she can, including assisting Caspian to victory. She has a witty, playful sense of timing and humor, often using it to poke fun at her siblings (“Before you got boring,” “Little CHILDREN don’t know when to stop pretending!”). It distresses her to find Narnia centuries older when they return, but Lucy doesn’t really try to recreate their former life, or claim her place as a queen. She bases many of her expectations on personal history, endangering herself by assuming a wild bear is a “tame, talking bear,” because she’s only ever known talking animals before. Lucy asks Aslan why he didn’t intervene “like last time,” and is surprised when he tells her things never happen the same way twice (inferior Si).
“Aslan isn’t a tame lion,” Mr. Tumnus says, and Lucy adds, decisively, “But he is GOOD.” She judges people according to their inner goodness, and seeks to find the good in everyone, even Edmund after he upsets and betrays her. Lucy is concerned for those who help her, and often caught up in her own feelings and ideas. She’s upset her siblings don’t believe her, but more so because she cannot offer them “proof” at first by taking them through the wardrobe; she continues to believe in Narnia, without their approval, and to have faith in Aslan where others falter. Lucy admits her jealousy of Susan to no one, secretly trying to model herself on Susan’s behavior to appear more attractive to others. She believes in what she sees: she entered Narnia, met a faun, saw a lamppost… and is distressed when she cannot prove it, and is written off as “imagining things.” Lucy believes in action; that they have a moral responsibility to help her friend, and to do something about the White Witch. She can sometimes be terse and accusatory under stress, but more often than not has a straightforward communicative style. She puts her heart into things (Fi) but also uses her head (Te).
Lucy is idealistic, sweet, and avoids conflict. She doesn’t want to say or do things to alienate her from the people she cares about, and can go along with them to remain safe rather than buck them (Aslan tells her that even if her siblings did not want to follow him, she should have done so, herself). Lucy focuses on her relationships – maintaining them and caring about others’ feelings and needs. She doubts herself under stress, instead waiting for Aslan or Susan or Peter to rescue her (the 6 need to fit in / find a support system), but as she grows up, becomes more self-assured and proactive like a 3. Her 1 wing makes her want to do the right thing, and makes her into a model child.

A Modern Ancient: Grandma
"No confession of faith looks merely to the past; every confession seeks to cast the light of a priceless heritage on the needs of the present moment, and so to shape the future." - The Book Of Confessions (PCUSA)
So, my grandmother died almost two weeks ago and I have been too busy to truly process yet. Today's post will be a bit of that.
This might sound strange but I am 32 years old and my grandmother is really the first death of a family member that I was close to that I have experienced. My grandparents on my father's side either died before I was born or lived too far away for me to truly get to know. My paternal grandfather died when I was 7 and I only have a few clear memories of him. But, my grandmother has been a part of my life since my birth.
Alberta Springfield was born March 18th, 1908. That's right folks, she was 100 years old when she died! She lived pretty much her entire life in Cincinnati, OH. Her father went looking for work in the early 1930s (of course she was already in her early 20s by then) and never came back, leaving her, her younger sister Georgette, and their mother to take care of each other. My grandmother embraced that role which is why she didn't marry until after her younger sister had and Alberta could be sure that Georgette was secure.
She ended up marrying a man from Alabama who had moved to Cincinnati to work for the railroad (a good job that was deemed necessary to national security, thus keeping him out of WWII). They had 4 children (my mother being the third and the youngest girl). My grandmother was an extremely religious woman. I know that in the present day and age the term "religious" is more often than not used as a negative word, but she truly loved her God and sought to serve in whatever way she was gifted.
Growing up, my parents both worked (well, at least my mother always had a job and worked) so my sister and I would go to grandma's house after school nearly everyday until I got into high school and started playing sports. I remember getting there and her having a snack of apple slices, fig newtons, or maybe even some vanilla wafers and milk ready for us. We would settle in to watch some Thundercats and He-Man (then She-Ra came on so I stopped watching and started either doing homework or playing cards with grandma). Later, she even started preparing our brown-bag lunches for us each day. Her house was on the way home for my mom so she would pick up the lunches the night before. My grandma really took care of us.
She had an enormous impact on my life. I will always cherish the times that I was able to sit and ask her questions about her life. I interviewed her for a paper in middle school on the Great Depression (I wonder if I will ever be interviewed by a younger relative about living through a similar time...) and got an A on the paper because of the amazing detail she provided. She was already a very old woman by the time I started forming concrete memories. She was 40 when she had my mother and my mom was 29 when she had me... a 69 year gap between us. She taught me how to play Canasta (my wife thinks she taught me how to cheat at it but that is just because Kristy is really bad at Canasta), she showed me that grandparents can be indulging to a point, and she showed me that God really can give us the strength to overcome.
One of the strongest memories I will always have of my grandma was how she quit smoking. I remember one day when I was 8 or 9 (she would have been 77 or 78), she finished smoking her 3rd pack in one day. It was right around the anniversary of her husband's death so I am sure that had something to do with it. She realized how addicted she was to those things and decided she was done smoking... she never smoked again! This was one of the strongest women I have ever (and will ever) known. When I was in high school, I asked her about it. She told me that whenever she started craving a cigarette, she simply prayed. Mostly the rosary or pre-written prayers, but she gave that craving up to God... much like a fast. Probably the most valuable lesson on prayer I have ever gotten.
I remember when her mind started slipping. It was scary and strange to see this woman who had always been so sharp start to forget and fade into daydreams and mix them up with reality. It was little things at first, but it eventually got to the point where the woman I had known was pretty much gone. The last 10 years or so of her life were spent in this cloud. It was heart-breaking to watch. I cannot tell you how many times I asked God why she was still here. All of her friends had died. Her sister had died. Her children had all moved away (except for my mom). She could no longer care for herself so my parents bought the house from her and moved in so that my mom could take care of her (which she did for the next 9 years). I began to try to find reasons that God was keeping her body alive. Maybe this was a lesson to me and others on how to truly love and honor our parents. Instead of just sticking her in a home, my mom dealt with frustration and heart-ache for nearly a decade just so that she could make sure her mother felt loved... even if she didn't recognize her own child anymore. Maybe it was practical since my parents and brother sort of depended on her social security check to buy food for all of them.
I think both of those are true in a sense. I also think a powerful third reason exists. Even though Alberta couldn't remember her own children, where she was most of the time, or even her own age (she would regularly get up in the morning thinking that she had to go to school) she could always remember how to pray. I was shocked one day when I went there and saw her in her bedroom with EWTN (the Catholic channel) on. The program was a Latin Mass and my grandmother knew every word... in LATIN! She never forgot how to pray her rosary or did she ever stop whispering her personal prayers to the Lord. If EVER there was an example of "pray continually", it was my grandma.
Just 5 days before she passed, she broke her hip. No one saw how it happened and the theory is that she didn't really fall, but that she stood up and her 100 year old hip just crumpled to pieces. The doctors said it was not worth it (I don't like that phrasing but I can't think of another way to say it) to do surgery. So, they tried to make her comfortable, they gave her pain medication, the nurses visited with her regularly, and my mom's office is in the same complex as the hospital so she visited her every day. They said that because she was going to be laying down all the time now, her lungs wouldn't last long. They lasted nearly 5 more days. Alberta Springfield died at 5:30am.
I am reading a book right now called Surprised by Hope by N.T. Wright. In it, he argues that most Christians today don't ascribe to historical Christianity's teaching about death, life after death, and resurrection. He articulates a lot of what I had been learning through personal study. The hope of Christians is not that our souls would go to heaven to dwell with God in some spiritual realm for eternity. The hope is that death is truly vanquished. After our bodies die, our spirit either enters into some sort of sleep, goes to some sort of waiting area, or perhaps even does dwell with God... but for a limited time. Because, in the end, God will raise all of the dead ("resurrection of the flesh" is one of the last beliefs stated in the Apostle's Creed) but with perfected bodies. God will create a new heaven and a new Earth (and a new Jerusalem) where we will live for eternity in our uncorrupted bodies, in full fellowship with each other and with God. My grandmother prayed the Apostle's and Nicene Creed on a daily basis. This is what she believed and I know that this is where she placed her hope. Someday, I will see my grandmother again, but not as some glowing spiritual being. I will see her as she was meant to always be. Her mind will be sharp again and her body will be strong. She will be funny and insightful as well as able to run and jump and roll on the ground in laughter without any thought of her hip ever breaking again.
I love my grandma and I miss her. Even though she had basically been gone for 10 years, her death really solidified that for me. I can't wait to see her again and I thank God that her pain (physical, mental, and spiritual) is now gone and her hope is all the more closer to becoming reality.

Peace in our Hearts ~Everything from us for Peace for world~ – Peace For Earth Peace For Ourselves
by Yuji Earthman 07/02/201211:25 AM 07/02/2012
Peace in our Hearts ~Everything from us for Peace for world~
On 3rd of January I walked across the border and entered into Croatia. The Checking place of this Border was very small and totally different border place where I walked passed and there are open fields clear to the horizon. However through walking in this area I really felt that the Border of Serbia & Croatia is biggest border and biggest rift between the any of the countries.
From the border to the next big city called “Vinkovici” around 35km, many times Police man came and check my passport, I really surprised that security of this area. And more over many places, local people house, building I could see the scars of the war especially Vukova where is border city and 20km far north from Vinkovici, I heard the story that when the Croatia & Serbia conflict time the city was totally destroyed and many Croatian people and Serbia people died. After 20years passed still there are lots of mines & there are lots of disability people. Most surprising fact for me was even the Serbia people & Croatia people live same place “Vukova” but all the local facilities such as school, church, restaurant, market, cafe, living area all was totally separate between Croatia, and Serbia people….
After the war the people couldn’t be released from the war and many people have gotten suffer and lived with full of sadness and hatred.
When I was in Serbia, some student asked me on behalf of their teacher “What is the biggest reason that Hiroshima & Nagasaki was dropped the nuclear bombs…??”
I said to them that “War, Destroying the nature, earth, and killing the people, even there are just cause, it is wrong” and I added that “The reason is not important and no good reason for killing the people, animals, destroying the nature, and War. Most important things that we need to know and think that how many people and nature was get suffer from this War from this destruction. There are no winner, and no loser!! Everybody get suffer and lose family, friends, lovers, nature, everything we lose…
Therefore even there were tragic war, there are no merit to hate each other. Hatred made us blind and made more hatred and would make next tragic things… I wrote in the last article “Who wish our children our next generation’s misery??”
If we really wish our children happiness of the future, Let’s we all unite to change the sad history to bright future! The words is not only for Serbia people and Croatia people, but also I would like to say all the country all the people who get suffer from the War.
I totally understand that the people have a deep sadness and hatred in the bottom of the heart. I knew so I want to say that for our children let’s have a heart of forgiveness each other…
I would like to tell some story when I walked through China. As you know still right now Japan & China has not good relationship each other due to the Past history of the War. This is the story that from 2007 to 2008 when I joined my teacher Paul Coleman action called “Green Olympic walk” which is supporting the Beijing Olympic walking through Hongkong to Beijing. For spreading protection the environment and peace message in China, we walked and did many action such as planting trees, giving a lectures. When I walked arrived in Nanjing, (Nanjing. As we know when the world war 2, Japanese people came to China and killed many Chinese people in this area.) Therefore as Japanese for apologize this history we planted trees in Nanjing.
When we stayed at this area, some old man came to me and said
“Are you Japanese???” and I said “Yes” from this moment he started angry, and started explaining the history with full of anger and hatred. But when I told him why I came here and what I did in Nanjing. The Old man started crying and said to me“Thank you so much”
and he added that ”We need to remember the history without any anger and hatred but in the future China, Korea, Japan the close countries need to help each other and cooperate together for Peace for Earth. So Thank you Thank you” he was crying and said this words for me.
When I heard this words, the old man saying was touched my heart and realized that one person can change the world can make more beautiful and peaceful earth from us.
I really felt that not the government, local people one people one people can change the country relationship! One person can inspire the people and that inspiration, making friendship with the other across the country will make good relationship the countries. I really do believed!! From local people exchanging we can understand each other and can forgive each other and for same bright future we could unite! We could walk together!!
With this hope I tried to plant many trees in this country “Croatia” and many countries… I really wish that from local people level one people one people do some small action and kindness, through this actions and kindness Croatia and Serbia will make a good relationship each other!! I know and I felt that Croatia and Serbia both of the country people have a wonderful heart and kindness in their heart and wish the real peace!!!
1月3日セルビアとクロアチアとの国境を越え、クロアチアに入りました。今まで通過した数々の国境とは異なり地平線が望める広大な大地に位置する小さな検問。しかしこのセルビアとクロアチアの国境は、どの国よりも大きな国境、大きな亀裂である事をこの数日間で実感しています。第一に国境付近から次の大きな町Vinkoviciと言う町までの約35㎞、20分おきにパトロールの車がやってきて、毎回パスポートの提示を求められ、異常なまでの警備態勢に驚きました。そして多くの場所でクロアチア紛争時の傷跡が残る民家、建築物を目にしました。特にVinkoviciから約北へ20kmほど離れた国境の町Vukovaではクロアチア紛争当時、町の全てが壊滅的な大打撃を受け、多くのクロアチア人、そしてセルビア人がなくなったとの事です。そして今もなおVukovar-Syrmia州では多くの地雷が大地に埋まり、セルビア人・クロアチア人が同じ町に住んでいながらも、全ての公共施設、教会、学校、レストラン、住居スペース、全てがセルビア人側とクロアチア人側に分断されているという事実。そしてこの地域にはとても多くの障害者がいる事も知りました。
戦争が終わった現在もその戦争から解放される事なく、人々は今も被害を受けながら深い悲しみと憎しみと共に今を生きているのです。
セルビアに滞在していた際、ある学校の先生が学生を通じて僕に尋ねました。“広島と長崎が核爆弾を落とされた大きな要因はなんだったんですか？”戦争、そして地球、自然、人を殺害する破壊する事、それはどんな正当な理由があれ間違っていると私は言いました。人を殺害する事、自然を破壊する事、戦争を行う事、すべて理由は重要ではないのです。どれだけの多くの自然が、人々が被害を受けたのか？それを皆さんに考えてもらいたいと思います。そして戦争には“勝者”も“敗者”も居ないという事。すべてが敗者となり深い傷を負うのです。
ですからどんなに悲惨な戦争があったからと言ってお互いを憎しみ合う事、それは何のメリットもないのです。憎しみは人を盲目にし、また新たな憎しみを生み、それが次の悲劇につながるからです。前回のブログにも書きましたが、誰が次の世代の子供達の不幸を願うのでしょうか？子供達の将来を考えるのであればその悲しい歴史を明るい未来へとつなげる架け橋に変えていただきたいと思います。これはセルビア・クロアチア、そして戦争という深い傷を負った全ての国に、人に伝えたい事です。人々の深い悲しみ、許す事の出来ないほどの憎しみ、自分も十分に理解しているからこそあえて皆さんに伝えたいのです。未来の子供達の為にお互いを許す心を持ってもらいたいという事を！
自分が中国を歩いていた時のお話を紹介させていただきたいとおもいます。皆さんもご存じのとおり日本と中国の関係は歴史的背景からあまり友好的なものであるとは言えません。そんな中2007年国連平和大使ポールコールマン氏のグリーンオリンピックウォークに参加させて頂いた時の話です。香港~北京まで北京五輪を応援するべく、中国の環境保護・平和の為に歩き多くの場所で植樹活動を行い、メッセージを広めました。その道中南京と言う町に訪れた時の事。この南京と言う場所は第二次世界大戦当時、日本軍が中国に上陸多くの罪もない一般市民、中国軍の人々が虐殺さえた場所。その場所で日本人として謝罪する思い、そして平和への願いを胸に木を植えさせていただきました。そしてその日偶然にもある老人との出会いがありました。その老人は日本が大嫌いで、自分を見るや否や“お前は日本人か?”と訪ねてきたのです。そして私が日本人だと分かると険悪な形相で歴史の事を話し、怒りをあらわにして“お前達日本人が何をしてきたのか知っているのか？”と訪ねてきたのです。その際自分がなぜ中国にいるのか?今回南京で何をしたのか？その旨を伝えたところ、その老人は目に涙を浮かべ“ありがとう”と言ってくれたのでした。そして“戦争、歴史を忘れてはならない。しかし憎しみを捨てその歴史から我々が一緒に学び、再び同じ過ちを犯さないよう、平和の為に環境保護の為に隣国が協力しなければならない”と泣きながら話してくれたのです。その際本当に思いました。国の関係を変えるのは政府ではない。一般市民一人一人だと。一人の行動が人に影響を与え、如いては国の関係を良くする。私はそう思います。一般市民同士の交流からお互いを理解し許しあえ、同じ明るい未来へと進む事が出来のであると。
そんな思いを胸に、希望を胸に今回もクロアチアの大地にたくさんの平和の木を植えています。クロアチア・そしてセルビアの国の関係が市民一人一人の思いと行動から良い方向に進んでいってもらいたいと思います。私は知っています。そして感じました。セルビアの方も、クロアチアの方も本当に心が優しく平和を切に願う素晴らしい民族である事を。。。
1월 3일 세르비아와 크로아티아 국경을 넘고 크로아티아에 들어갔습니다.지금까지 통과한 수많은 국경과는 달라 지평선을 바라볼 수 있는 광대한 대지에 위치하는 작은 검문.그러나 이 세르비아와 크로아티아의 국경은, 어느 나라보다 큰 국경, 큰 균열인 일을 이 몇일간에 실감하고 있습니다. 제일에 국경 부근으로부터 다음이 큰 도시 Vinkovici라고 하는 도시까지의 약 35km 20분 간격으로 패트롤의 차가 오고, 매회 패스포트의 제시요구를 받아 그 경비 태세에도 많이 놀랐습니다. 그리고 많은 장소에서 크로아티아 분쟁시의 상처 자국이 남는 민가, 건축물을 보았습니다. 특히 Vinkovici에서 약 북에 20 km 정도 멀어진 국경의 마을 Vukova에서는 크로아티아 분쟁 당시, 마을의 모두가 괴멸적인 대타격을 받아 많은 크로아티아인, 그리고 세르비아인이 비해를 받았다는 것을 들었습니다. 그리고 지금도 아직 Vukovar-Syrmia주에서는 많은 지뢰가 다이치에 가득 차, 세르비아인•크로아티아인이 같은 마을에 살고 있으면서도, 모든 공공 시설, 교회, 학교, 레스토랑, 주거 스페이스, 모두가 세르비아인측과 크로아티아인 측에 분단 되고 있다고 하는 사실.그리고 이 지역에는 매우 많은 장애자가 있는 일도 알았습니다.
전쟁이 끝난 현재도 그 전쟁으로부터 해방되는 무사히, 사람들은 지금도 피해를 받으면서 깊은 슬픔과 미움과 함께 지금을 살아 있습니다.
세르비아에 체재하고 있었을 때, 어느 학교의 선생님이 학생을 통해서 저에게 물었습니다.“히로시마와 나가사키가 핵폭탄을 떨어진 큰 요인은 뭐라고 생각합니까? ”전쟁, 그리고 지구, 자연, 사람을 살해하는 파괴하는 일, 그것은 어떤 정당한 이유가 저것 잘못되어 있다고 저는 말씀을 드렸스습니다. .사람을 살해하는 일, 자연을 파괴하는 일, 전쟁을 실시하는 일, 모두 이유는 중요하지 않습니다.얼마나 많은 자연이, 사람들이 피해를 받았는지?그것을 여러분이 생각해 주었으면 합니다.그리고 전쟁에는“승자”도“패자”도 없고 모든 것이 패자가 되어 깊은 상처를 입습니다.
그래서 아무리 비참한 전쟁이 있었다고 해도 서로를 미움 맞는 일, 그것은 아무 메리트도 없습니다. 미움은 사람을 맹목으로 하여, 또 새로운 미움을 낳아, 그것이 다음의 비극으로 연결되기 때문입니다. 전회의 블로그에도 썼습니다만, 누가 다음의 세대의 아이들의 불행을 바라는 것입니까? 아이들의 장래를 생각한다면 그 슬픈 역사를 밝은 미래로 연결하는 다리 역할로 바꾸어 주셨으면 합니다. 이것은 세르비아•크로아티아, 그리고 전쟁에서 깊은 상처를 입은 모든 나라에, 사람에게 전하고 싶습니다.사람들의 깊은 슬픔, 허락하는 일을 할 수 없을 만큼 미움, 자신도 충분히 이해하고 있기 때문에 굳이 여러분에게 전하고 싶습니다. 미래의 아이들을 위해 서로를 용서하는 마음을 가져 주었으면 한다고 하는 것을!
제가 중국을 걷고 있었을 때의 이야기를 소개하고 싶습니다. 여러분도 아시다시피 일본과 중국의 관계는 역사적 배경으로부터 너무 우호적인 것이다고는 말할 수 없습니다. 그런 가운데 2007년 유엔 평화 대사 폴 콜 맨씨 그린 올림픽 워크에 참가 했을 때의 이야기입니다. 홍콩~북경까지 북경 올림픽을 응원하기 위해, 중국의 환경보호•평화를 위해 걸어 많은 장소에서 식수 활돌을 하여, 메세지를 넓혔습니다.그 도중 난징이라고 하는 마을에 방문했을 때의 이야기.. 이 난징이라고 하는 장소는 제이차 세계대전 당시 , 일본군이 중국에 상륙 많은 죄도 없는 일반 시민, 중국군의 사람들이 학살 선명한 장소. 그 자리소에서 일본인으로서 사죄하는 마음, 그리고 평화에의 소원을 가슴에 나무를 심었습니다. 그리고 그 날 우연히 어떤 노인과의 만남이 있었습니다. 그 노인은 일본이 정말 싫고, 자신을 보자 마자“너는 일본인인가?”라고 물어오셨습니다. 그리고 제가 일본인이라고 알면 험악한 형상으로 역사의 일을 이야기를 시작하셔, 분노를 드러내 “너희들 일본인이 무엇을 해 왔는지 알고 있는냐라고 말씀을 하셨습니다. 그 때 왜 중국에 왔는지 이번 난징에서 무엇을 했는지?그 취지를 말씀을 드렸을 때, 그 분은 눈물을 머금어“감사하다고 말해주셨던 것입니다. 그리고“전쟁, 역사를 잊어서는 안된다.그러나 미움을 버려 그 역사로부터 우리가 함께 배워, 다시 같은 잘못을 범하지 않게, 평화를 위해 환경보호를 위해 이웃나라가 협력해야 한다”라고 울면서 이야기해주셨습니다. 그 때 정말로 생각했습니다.나라의 관계를 바꾸는 것은 정부는 아니고 일반 시민 한사람 한사람이라고. 한 명의 행동이 사람에게 영향을 주어 나라의 관계를 잘 합니다.저는 그렇게 생각합니다. 일반 시민끼리의 교류로부터 서로를 이해해 허락해 버무려 같은 밝은 미래로 진행될 수가 있는 것을…
그런 생각을 가슴에, 희망을 가슴에 크로아티아의 대지에 평화의 나무를 심고 었습니다. 크로아티아•그리고 세르비아의 나라의 관계가 시민 한사람 한사람의 생각과 행동으로부터 좋을 방향으로 나아가 주었으면 합니다.나는 알고 있습니다.그리고 느꼈습니다.세르비아도, 크로아티아도 정말로 마음이 상냥하고 평화를 간절히 바라는 훌륭한 민족인 일을…

In my Garden (country edition): How one recipe changed my life
Okay, that is a bit of an overstatement. However, since I started making homemade oreos we seem to be getting a lot more invitations to get together with friends. Or maybe it's just that I finally let my professional gardening life take a bit of a backseat this summer that I actually have time to have fun, and bake.
Tomorrow we are going to brunch at friends, and one part of the couple happens to be a chef/caterer. She and I have been talking about these oreos for months, so how could I not bring her a batch. And before you ask, yes they are that good. It is baked goods like this (full of butter) that is one of the reasons I could never become a vegan.
I think I'm also going to make brioche to bring. I've been wanting to try and make a "fancy" bread like this for a while, and when a recipe turned up in this month's bon apetit magazine I couldn't resist. The dough was easy enough, but time intensive. It's rising again, then will chill overnight before baking in the AM. But for now my husband is making margaritas so it's time to relax...

5 Bad Bossing Behaviors – and How to Handle Them
Are you one of those employees that fall prey to bad bossing? Well, difficult bosses may be quite easy to come by but extremely difficult to handle. You must have watched bad bossing behaviors on the screen. But when it comes to handling big bosses in real life, you need to be very well prepared. Rather than giving in to bad boss’ annoying habits, you can make their weaknesses your strengths.
Read on to know how to five extremely annoying habits of bad bosses and how to handle them.
1. Micromanaging
Micromanagers prove to be quite annoying in the workplace. What if your boss focuses on quantity over quality? There are bad bossing examples, where bosses focus more on the number of calls made by a sales representative. This is really an annoying habit. You can handle such a micromanager by over-communicating, sending frequent emails etc.
2. Changing Expectations Rapidly
There are multiple examples of bad bossing behaviors where bosses are prone to wildly inconsistent demands. It can really annoy you when you are faced with rapidly changing expectations from your boss. While faced with such an annoying boss, you need to ask them ask them questions and carefully take notes about their expectations and project deadline.
3. Being Absent When You Need Them
Disappearing bosses are really quite annoying. You are waiting for a response to your email, and guess what happens. You emails remain unanswered for days. You need to get a document signed and your boss is nowhere to be found. Isn’t it really irritating? These types of bosses fall into the bad boss category. They are absent most of the time when you need them.
4. Sharing Excessive Information
Many bosses are prone to sharing too much information. When they begin, they may take an entire hour talking, which can also be a reason of absent mindedness. Suppose, you have something very urgent to discuss and your bad boss begins – ‘You know they have found a wood plank on the Mars’ and then continue with it. Your plus point with such bosses is that you get plenty of face time. Handle such bosses by diplomatically bringing the conversation ‘back to work’. You can suddenly start saying “Oh, before I forget…”
5. Taking Credit of Others’ Work
You will come across bosses who would try to take credit for your work. This is one of the most annoying bad behaviors from one’s boss. The best idea to handle such bosses is to bring up the project in a group setting where other seniors are present. You can start saying ‘Our group has done XYZ’ and ask for opinion on your efforts from others.
While doing jobs, you will come with multiple bossing behaviors, some of which will really be extremely annoying. If you are ready with some essential tips, you can be successful at handling such bosses. On the other hand, you will also face unethical behavior and bad bossing situations where the best solution would be to plan your exit. And the final decision is always yours.

Veterans Take Hill With Manchester WWII Park - War On Terror News
« Hamas Accuses Egypt of Using Lethal Gas on Smugglers | Main | Afghan Air Corps Shows Off for Mujahedeen Victory Day »
families to share memories and patriotism amidst speeches, a 82nd Airborne paratrooper drop and chorus, as well as military and veteran organization color guards.
"This has been a labor of love seeing this come together. Everyone who works for the township and my employees have thrown their hearts and soul into this project. We have the largest veteran population in Ocean County and this is the best location for such a park. It's important that we have this ceremony today, because we are losing so many of these veterans everyday," Stephen Stanziano, director of public works and technical advisor for the park's development, said.
The recreational park, is in Ocean County and borders Joint Base-McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, is complete with a flag garden, playgrounds and yet-to-be-completed softball and soccer field. At the center of the park is a bronze statue of a World War II Soldier overlooking a weapon with helmet resting on it, representing a lost comrade. Surrounding the statue are stone walls emblazoned with bronze depictions of each military branches that contributed the forces to the war effort.
"This area depicts an elegance in simplicity that tells the story of a generation," said Brian Hanlon, of Toms River-based Hanlon studio, who created the Soldier sculpture.
Beyond the statue are six trails each marked by plaques telling the story of the U.S. military branches involvement of World War II, complete with static displays and one of the park playgrounds designed in the military façade of a tank, military plane and a boat.
The park, which took three years to develop, used private, corporate and municipal funds to become a reality. On any given day no matter what the weather condition, members of the veterans committee, most of whom are World War II and Korean War veterans with their own stories, started their day at a local restaurant known as Heritage, planned their day and moved out to Ocean County area stores to collect anything from loose change to major contributions for a park expected to cost $190,000 before it is completed.
"All those World War II veterans could have just sat back and relaxed for their rest of their lives. Instead, they took on a new mission—one that now says 'this is our story and this is our sacrifice.' We are all here today to celebrate our freedoms because of what they did for this country," said Col. Timothy R. Williams, commander of the 72nd Field Artillery Brigade, Army Support Activity-Dix.
While each of the World Wart II veterans from the committee unveiled each wall, at the time of the unveiling of the center monument many veterans in the crowd joined in taking the cover off the center Soldier monument. But before it was unveiled, the Silver Star citation of Frank Barone and the unit citation for the 350th Infantry Regiment was read to the crowd that depicted the heroics of the man and his unit against enemy gun fire at Mount Bataglia, Italy. Then his grandchildren paid tribute to him, saying their grandfather taught them that 'all that you have at the end day is your family."
In a reading by Barone near the end of the ceremony, he looked back on his friend Bill, who sat around the veterans lodge with World War II and they shared their World War II stories. Later, Bill would continue telling the stories so much that those around him didn't believe him because it seemed he lived an uneventful life while at home.
"But what we want our country to remember most is let's give him the tribute he deserves when he passes and give them the headline that says 'our country is in mourning for a Soldier died today,'" he concluded.

Behind the White House Doors: June 2011
My brother Micki and his wife Nadine and family came out to visit this last weekend. We had so much fun and perfect weather to boot! We rode quads all day on Saturday. Micki even got to try out the tractor! The little boys rode rode and rode some more. Matty complained at one point how much his finger hurt but he wouldn't stop driving it around. It is so fun having people out that enjoy the farm!
We had a wiener roast and there was enough breeze that even the bugs stayed away. What a perfect day with family! We sure tired everyone out!
London and her Cousin Leah started playing on the tramp and dragged over the basketball net! They had so much fun slam dunking, throwing it while laying down, doing twirls then slamming it ect... I really got some fun shots!
I love this one with the braids flying! I really like how she is more of a shadow and the red shop in the back ground. These ones were shot later in the day that is why there is shadows
Waiting to see if it goes in! Yuppers
doing some hang time on the rim! So many of London's guy friends can do this! It is frustrating when you can't
Leah taking her turn! There was so much giggling going on it was hard to even shoot sometimes!
I love this action shot of Leah falling trying to catch her ball!
We hope we get lots of visitors this summer...come on by everyone!

These are Peahens. Dad bought them at the animal sale. They only stayed for a few days and then they broke out! Dad saw them running to the bushes with Brigham close behind. We tried to catch them but they fly... high. So no luck. I saw them the next day and heard them a few times but we haven't seen or heard from them in a long time. They either have been eaten or some farmer got lucky and got our birds! Keep an eye out for them! They were so fun to listen to and watch I am sad that they are gone!
They hated being in with the chickens. I think that is why they escaped. They have the most beautiful feathers ever! We had big plans for head bands ect.... Maybe someone will find them and they will come back home.

London and I were sitting in the front room when she gets up and stares out the window at what she thought was a cat in the tree! She saw the branches moving and it sure wasn't a cat after all it was a porcupine! We watched it from the living room and then our bedroom.
We called Sean and he got the camera out and went out to see him. He didn't mind us watching him so we took a bunch of pictures and got really close. London warned us to stay back as it can shoot it quills (false they don't). Sitting there it looked just like a Koala. He gripped the tree with his hands and feet and happily ate the bark and new leaves off my tree.
Look at his cute little hairdo!
Brigham then came along and spook him so he climbed further up the tree with ease. What a fun treat to see him.
Walking that little way almost did me in. I have been sick since last Wednesday with body aches the kind that makes your skin hurt and headache turned to fever and vomiting. I wanted to die. On the way back to the house I could barely make it and sadly vomited all over Sean's new shoes which I slipped on for ease. It was awful and gross. Monday I finally went to the ER as my doctor and walk in couldn't see me. In the end after a long wait I am still glad that I went. They did a bunch of test and put my mind at ease...I wasn't dying despite the fact that I wanted too! I did get some great medicine for Nausea in an IV and lots of fluids which I had problems keeping down in the past. The IV was a miracle worker. They did a Chest x-ray and blood work too which turned out Ok. I am still coughing up a lung but I am feeling a bit better. I just need to rest and keep up the fluids now that they topped me up. I really recommend IV's.
I had two Paramedic Student practicing IV's on me but in only took a few tries and they got in! Phew...that was entertainment in it self. Is it me or are student looking younger and younger! They still had baby fat I swear!

Shamrock Ferret set a cup of Mandalay blackberry tea on the side table, tilted a tiny pitcher to add a dash of honey (poured, not stirred) and curled herself in the comfort of her Cases Unsolved chair. The antique she had bought at a used-thing sale, whirl-dots for pattern, soft as woven sunlight.
As the fire warmed the hearth and her own sable-chocolate fur, the detective set a small disk of black felt upon the chair and reviewed the facts.
The patterns of cornstalks fallen in the fields were always finished and complete; they were ever the same, almost an insignia: two stars, one large, one small, joined by a sweeping curved pathway.
The patterns had always been discovered in the morning, having appeared sometime between dusk and dawn, under a full moon. There were no marks of tools or machinery of any kind. There was no reason for the designs, nor meaning in them.
Here she reached a paw to stroke her whiskers as she stared into the light of the fire, and corrected herself.
No apparent reason, she thought. Every mystery cloaks an inner reason, each one gives its meaning only when we have allowed ourselves a new point of view. There are no secrets, she had learned. Through observation, inquiry, through the kaleidoscope of intuition, we detect what has been facing us all along.
She sipped her tea in the office of her flat, watching the fire.
About her in the modest dark-paneled room stood her desk with notepads and pens, the old clock which had ticked in her home since she was a kit, her microscope, brass polished, focus knob worn from use. Here were her shelves of books: Analysis from Zero, Principles of Deduction and thirty volumes of The Paws of Knowledge, a set much lined and dog-eared. From a peg on the wall hung her crimson tam-o'-shanter and snow-color scarf of many pockets. By the door a letter-drop and a whimsical bell made from an old ship's telegraph, the pointer at Engines Standby. All peaceful stillness.
Within her was no such quiet. She watched the fire, yet behind her eyes flashed scene after instant scene -- the patterns, the clues, connections between the known and the possible.
Miss Shamrock Ferret earned her living by imagining possibilities, and now the images tumbled like a runaway slide show. Scene after scene rose and fell, possibilities slanting at the wrong angle, near misses, pictures out of match with the portrait of a mystery.
Now she lifted the disk of felt, and holding it gently between her paws, she closed her eyes, opened a door of imagination.
How I love this job, she thought, breathing the scent of Mandalay. How I love finding out!

Can one animal save the world? So asks Richard Bach, bestselling author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Ferret Chronicles. This moving fable about the almost-end of a civilization and the profound issues it raises—that of war and peace, life and death, revenge and forgiveness, guilt and innocence—is a timely tale of timeless themes sure to resonate with anyone concerned about the present state of the world. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

5,0 sur 5 étoilesRead what could be from the humanistic way a ferret can communcate.
I have loved Richard Bach since I first read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I have other books of his including 'Illusion' and 'One'. To me his writing is for adult children. Those of us that haven't forgotten what fantasy is and how to truly enjoy that, without hi-tech equipment and sound. Just your imagination and the ability to be a kid again in an adult setting and situation(s). This book is no different in many ways than Jonathan L. S. Same writing style and same delightful way of wording that plays in your mind. Familiar in many ways and comforting considering the world we live in. If you do no own this book I not only recommend it but the other 4 books that go with the Ferret Chronicles by Bach. Wonderful night time reading for your kids if you read TO them or they just enjoy the occasional lighthearted romp into fantasy land. These are something you can pass from generation to generation and will never get "old".
5,0 sur 5 étoilesMaybe the best of the priceless ferret fables!?
Which is the best of Mr Bach's ferret fables? I really like Rancher Ferrets because it has a little of everything .. hollywood, genetic engineering, (heck, sci-fi readers would like it!), animal husbandry, love ...
It's probably my favorite ferret fable, but then, I think that about each one.
The humour surrounding the Ferret alternate-universe version of Hollywod is roll-on-the-floor funny, and as subtle as awesome.
Indeed, Mr Bach is able to, you could say, play with the very narrative form itself: You could say: it's like the author directly speaks to you with funny jokes via the narrative, behind and while the narrative is going on: At a given turn of events, you expect X to happen as in every cliché of narrative in this human world; but in the Ferret alternative-universe (indeed, because of their underlying epistemology...the Ferret worldview, the Ferret moral-thought system), something _totally different_ happens. You slap your thighs and roll around laughing. Thanks Mr. Bach!
OK, really, this has got to be my favourite of the ferret tales. Enjoy!

AmpliPhi expects to initiate one of these clinical trials in early 2019
AmpliPhi continues to investigate if AB-SA01 may be eligible for approval under the Limited Population pathway (LPAD pathway), which is intended to facilitate development of therapeutics to treat serious or life-threatening infections in a limited population of patients with unmet need
AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (NYSE American: APHB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on precisely targeted bacteriophage therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant infections, today announced that the company had a Type B Pre-IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has now received the meeting minutes. Based on the FDA’s feedback, AmpliPhi currently plans to initiate the first randomized clinical trial of its AB-SA01 bacteriophage therapy product candidate in early 2019. The clinical trial is expected to enroll approximately 100 patients. AmpliPhi’s wholly-owned GMP-certified manufacturing facility has the capacity to produce the company’s proprietary bacteriophage therapeutics for the planned clinical trials, through an anticipated BLA filing and potential approval.
“I’m excited by the positive feedback that we have received from our August meeting with the FDA, which is the result of our clinical, regulatory and manufacturing accomplishments since we updated our strategy in mid-2017,” said Paul C. Grint, M.D., CEO of AmpliPhi Biosciences. “We have provided our investigational bacteriophage therapeutic candidates to over 20 seriously ill patients under compassionate use emergency protocols and collected clinical and microbiological data to inform the path for further development. We summarized these data, the subject of another press release issued earlier today, in the briefing package to the FDA and received concurrence on the proposed design of two randomized controlled clinical trials. These two trials, in bacteremia and prosthetic joint infections, would be the first trials we are aware of for an intravenously administered bacteriophage therapy.”
The Type B Pre-IND meeting included discussion of the results from AmpliPhi’s ongoing Expanded Access Program and the proposed design for two randomized, controlled clinical trials with AB-SA01, the company’s clinical candidate targeting S. aureus, that were developed based on input from infectious disease physician thought leaders.
The FDA was in general agreement with the proposed clinical trial designs:
A Phase 1/2 randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AB-SA01, administered intravenously with the best available antibiotic therapy, compared to placebo plus best available antibiotic therapy, in approximately 100 patients with S. aureus bacteremia.
A Phase 1/2 randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AB-SA01, administered by intra-articular injection and then intravenously with the best available antibiotic therapy, compared to placebo plus the best available antibiotic therapy, in approximately 100 patients with a hip or knee prosthetic joint infection due to S. aureus as an adjunct to surgical treatment.
Importantly, based on the current FDA feedback, no additional clinical or nonclinical data are required to proceed with the two proposed randomized clinical trials. Furthermore, AmpliPhi continues to investigate if AB-SA01 may be eligible for Fast Track Designation and for approval under the Limited Population pathway (LPAD pathway), which is intended to facilitate development of therapeutics to treat serious or life-threatening infections in a limited population of patients with unmet need. Products eligible for approval under the LPAD pathway may follow streamlined approaches for clinical development, which may involve smaller, shorter, or fewer clinical trials to help reduce the overall product development timeline.
“I welcome today’s announcements from AmpliPhi Biosciences, which should hasten the development of bacteriophage therapeutics to address the increasingly urgent need of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections,” said Robert T. Schooley, M.D., Professor in the infectious disease division at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and co-founder of North America’s first Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics at UCSD School of Medicine. “I am pleased to see that, by its actions, the FDA supports the promise of this treatment approach. I also note that phage therapeutics will be given a plenary session at the upcoming IDWeek 2018, which further points to the growing acceptance by the medical and scientific communities of the potential of this technology to treat critically ill patients.”
AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on treating antibiotic-resistant infections using its proprietary bacteriophage-based technology. AmpliPhi’s lead clinical stage product candidates, AB-SA01 and AB-PA01, target multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are included on the WHO’s 2017 Priority Pathogens List. AmpliPhi received regulatory guidance for the development of its bacteriophage therapy and intends to initiate the first randomized clinical trial in early 2019. Phage therapeutics are uniquely positioned to address the threat of antibiotic resistance as they can be precisely targeted to kill select bacteria, have a differentiated mechanism of action, can penetrate and disrupt biofilms (a common bacterial defense mechanism against antibiotics), are potentially synergistic with antibiotics and have been shown to restore antibiotic sensitivity to drug-resistant bacteria.
