COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (March 7, 2015) – The eighth round of the 2015 AMSOIL Arenacross, featuring Ricky Carmichael’s Road to Supercross, came to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday inside the Mid-America Center. As has been the case on several occasions this season, a tiebreaker was needed to determine the overall winner in the Arenacross Class, but this time it came down to a trio of riders. In the end, a dominant performance in the final main event of the evening allowed Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy/AMSOIL Kawasaki’s Matt Goerke to capture his third victory of the season over Husqvarna TiLUBE TUF Racing teammates Gavin Faith and Kyle Regal.
Regal made the first statement of the evening by grabbing the holeshot in the first Arenacross Class main event, ahead of Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy/AMSOIL Kawasaki teammates Chris Blose and Jacob Hayes. Earlier in the evening Blose claimed the win in the RMATV/MC Head 2 Head Challenge, while Hayes was looking for his second straight victory after claiming the overall victory on Friday night.
Hayes, the Arenacross Class championship leader entering the evening, encountered misfortune on lap two and crashed in the whoops, dropping to the tail end of the 16-rider field. That allowed Blose to assume control of second, while Faith took over third. Motosport.com/Haeseker Racing KTM’s Gared Steinke sat fourth, while Goerke moved into fifth. Several laps later Goerke slotted himself into fourth to put himself in podium contention. Regal maintained his lead over the field for the entirety of the 15-lap main event, but Blose was pushing hard to catch him and ultimately went down in the whoops on lap 13. Faith took advantage of the misfortune to take over second, while Goerke moved into third. As the checkered flag flew, the top three of Regal, Faith and Goerke remained the same. Hayes fought his way back to eighth, while Blose had to settle for 10th.
Regal had the opportunity to select the inversion for the second main event, and was fortunate enough to select the case with the number zero, meaning no riders would be inverted.
As the second main event got underway, ThermoTec/FMC Racing Yamaha’s Bobby Kiniry raced to the holeshot just ahead of Hayes and Goerke. On the opening lap Hayes and Kiniry made contact in the whoops, forcing Hayes to fall and drop back to the tail end of the field, remounting nearly a lap behind. Kiniry stayed on two wheels, but fell all the way to eighth. Goerke seized the opportunity to put himself at the front of the field and took over the lead. Faith and Regal followed to move into second and third by the conclusion of lap one.
The torrid pace set by the top three and the consistency of Goerke, Faith and Regal meant there was little change up front throughout the duration of all 15 laps. Goerke took his fourth main event win of the season, with Faith following in second and Regal third. Hayes did all he could to recover from his early troubles and fought his way back to an 11th-place finish.
The identical first- and third-place finishes by Goerke and Regal locked them into a tie for first in the overall classification, while Faith’s consistent pair of runner-up finishes made him a third player in the tiebreaker. In the end, Goerke’s win in the second Main Event gave him the advantage over the other two, while Faith’s second-place finish slotted him ahead of Regal’s third-place effort. TZR Woodstock KTM’s Travis Sewell finished fourth (5-4) while Steinke rounded out the top five (4-5).
Regal, who entered the night 14 points out of the lead, took over the Arenacross Class points lead as a result of Hayes’ tough night, finishing ninth overall. Hayes and Goerke sit in a tie for second, just one point behind Regal as the schedule heads into the final round, in Southhaven, Miss., March 13-15, before the season-ending Race to the Championship begins.

Online vendors is generally an excellent funding choice when you yourself have got troubles with brick-and-mortar stores in past times. These lenders do not come complimentary, nevertheless. You will see improved rates and extensive tracking. Lenders should decrease the chances which you neglect your repayments, in addition they might go to great lengths to make sure you understand if you want to pay your balance.
It isn’t uncommon for third-party lenders to call for security to approve your for a loan. Equity try a secured item you own that they’ll simply take in case you don’t spend once you see your paycheck. Some online providers don’t have the info or capacity to need security, while they would need to manage far too many see this local laws and regulations to keep a successful enterprize model. In most cases, you won’t should bother about placing the car up as guarantee to secure that loan with drive lenders.
While dealing with a primary loan provider appears like a slam dunk, you will find reasoned explanations why using a brokerage are a significantly better alternative in some situations.
The majority of providers that actually work with a third-party will highly monitor the method that you use the funds you get. They would like to ensure that you avoid the use of the amount of money for non-essential goods or costs. However, drive lenders will hardly ever have ready specifications for how you have the loan.
This normally isn’t that larger a package in either case, however. Consumers will borrow short-term financing for the very same small number of causes.
The Turnaround Time
If you want your loan quickly, immediate loan providers could possibly see cash in your bank-account immediately. Many are able to supplying payday advance loan utilizing a savings accounts. The application process was likewise efficient. Many of these channels can distribute your results moments after entry.
Using 24-hour payday advances online drive loan providers may offer customer support, approval, and important features. Moreover, should you decide lack entry to latest equipment, maybe you are capable publish your application via fax maker. These issues making on the web loan providers a stellar remedy for people who need cash at a minute’s notice.
Brokers can establish issues from inside the lending procedure by implementing stricter tracking, a lot more strenuous fees timetables, plus. An advantage of direct solutions is the fact that brokers may be removed entirely from the techniques.
Whenever you deal with a direct lender, the entirety regarding the loan may come from a single celebration. As a result, the conditions of your loan tend to be more static, and they’re not often subject to transform. As a result, the procedure is less stressful and easier to handle.
A broker can add on a great amount of legitimacy and peace of mind into the purchase. Without one provide, you will have fewer safety nets stopping you against creating an error. But so long as you work with a dependable and reputable direct loan provider, you should be in a position to rest effortless about your funding origin.
Third-party lenders in many cases are unable to negotiate your loan’s conditions and terms. Frequently, the total amount of your loan can be equally non-negotiable. This might be a limiting aspect if you need a particular sum. In the end, this could easily lower her effectiveness in some issues.
Since immediate loan providers issue the financing by themselves, they could offer extra recorded statements and invoices. This is why, you might not face as much shock charges or sudden shifts in rates. And because the borrowed funds is far more concrete in good info, it is much easier to confirm their legitimacy.

Robert E. Lee was the leading Confederate General during the U.S. Civil War and has been venerated as a heroic figure in the South.
Born on January 19, 1807 in Stratford, Virginia, Robert E. Lee came to military prominence during the U.S. Civil War, commanding his home state's armed forces and becoming general-in-chief of the Confederate forces towards the end of the conflict. Though the Union won the war, Lee has been revered by many while others debate his tactics. He went on to become president of Washington College.
Confederate General who led southern forces against the Union Army in the American Civil War, Robert Edward Lee was born January 19, 1807, in Stratford Hall, Virginia.
Lee was cut from Virginia aristocracy. His extended family members included a president, a chief justice of the United States, and signers of the Declaration of Independence. His father, Colonel Henry Lee, also known as "Light-Horse Harry," had served as a cavalry leader during the Revolutionary War and gone on to become one of the war's heroes, winning praise from General George Washington.
Lee saw himself as an extension of his family's greatness. At 18, he enrolled at West Point Military Academy, where he put his drive and serious mind to work. He was one of just six cadets in his graduating class who finished without a single demerit, and wrapped up his studies with perfect scores in artillery, infantry and cavalry.
After graduating from West Point, Lee met and married Mary Custis, the great-granddaughter of George and Martha Washington. Together, they had seven children: three sons (Custis, Rooney and Rob) and four daughters (Mary, Annie, Agnes and Mildred).
Early Military Career
But while Mary and the children spent their lives on Mary's father's plantation, Lee stayed committed to his military obligations. His Army loyalties moved him around the country, from Savannah to Baltimore, St. Louis to New York.
In 1846, Lee got the chance he'd been waiting his whole military career for when the United States went to war with Mexico. Serving under General Winfield Scott, Lee distinguished himself as a brave battle commander and brilliant tactician. In the aftermath of the U.S. victory over its neighbor, Lee was held up as a hero. Scott showered Lee with particular praise, saying that in the event the U.S. went into another war, the government should consider taking out a life insurance policy on the commander.
But life away from the battlefield proved difficult for Lee to handle. He struggled with the mundane tasks associated with his work and life. For a time, he returned to his wife's family's plantation to manage the estate, following the death of his father-in-law. The property had fallen under hard times, and for two long years, he tried to make it profitable again.
In 1859 Lee returned to the Army, accepting a thankless position at a lonely cavalry outpost in Texas. In October of that year, Lee got a break when he was summoned to put an end to a slave insurrection led by John Brown at Harper's Ferry. Lee's orchestrated attack took just a single hour to end the revolt, and his success put him on a short list of names to lead the Union Army should the nation go to war.
But Lee's commitment to the Army was superseded by his commitment to Virginia. After turning down an offer from President Abraham Lincoln to command the Union forces, Lee resigned from the military and returned home. While Lee had misgivings about centering a war on the slavery issue, when Virginia voted to secede from the nation on April 18, 1861, Lee agreed to help lead the Confederate forces.
Over the next year, Lee again distinguished himself on the battlefield. In May 1862, he took control of the Army of Northern Virginia and drove back the Union Army in Richmond in the Seven Days Battle. In August of that year, he gave the Confederacy a crucial victory at Second Manassas.
But not all went well. He courted disaster when he tried to cross the Potomac, just barely escaping at the bloody battle known as Antietam. In it, nearly 14,000 of his men were captured, wounded or killed.
From July 1 to July 3, 1863, Lee's forces suffered another round of heavy casualties in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The three-day stand-off, known as the Battle of Gettysburg, almost destroyed his army, ending Lee's invasion of the North and helping to turn the war around for the Union.
By the summer of 1864 Ulysses S. Grant had gained the upper hand, decimating much of Richmond, the Confederate's capital, and Petersburg. By early 1865 the fate of the war was clear, a fact driven home on April 2 when Lee was forced to abandon Richmond. A week later, a reluctant and despondent Lee surrendered to Grant at a private home in Appomattox, Virginia.
"I suppose there is nothing for me to do but go and see General Grant," he told an aide. "And I would rather die a thousand deaths."
Saved from being hanged as a traitor by a forgiving Lincoln and Grant, Lee returned to his family in April 1865. He eventually accepted a job as president of a small college in western Virginia, and kept quiet about the nation's politics following the war.
In October of 1870, he suffered a massive stroke. He died at his home, surrounded by family, on October 12.

"It was nice with everybody loving on me," Florence said. "It felt like a family. It felt like home. It was nice to see what they had to offer this time around. I got to meet some people for the first time and they got to meet me for the first time. I saw a lot of the other recruits and got to know them. That was a big deal. It was a nice day. I'm glad I came."
In addition to commitments such as Spencer Region, Thomas O'Reilly and Anthony Swain being in town and hanging out with their fellow 2011 prospects, several signees from last year were also in town and took the time to talk to and answer questions that players had. Michael Dyer, Jake Holland, Dakota Mosley, Jeffrey Whitaker, LaDarius Owens and Shaun Kitchens were just some of the players in on Saturday and Florence said having the opportunity to talk with some of them made his trip complete.
"It's awesome," Florence said. "It just goes to show you that it's not all about what the coaches tell you. The players come back and tell you the same thing and the players that sign tell you why they sign and you're feeling the same reasons. It kind of gets you in the right mood."
Just one of a crowd of over 60,000 in attendance for Saturday's game, Florence said seeing that many people at a spring game only gives him a better feel for what the Auburn family is all about.
"It means a lot to me and shows me about Auburn football," Florence said. "It shows me that if I was to play for Auburn I would have a lot of people care for me not only on the field, but off the field. Football is a good tradition at Auburn and it's something to look forward to."
One of the things Auburn has going for it for the talented safety is the relationship he's built with coach Tommy Thigpen. Getting to know him over the course of the last few months, Florence said that what he's developed with Auburn's safety coach is special to him.
"Every time I go back (to Auburn) it feels the same, but there's a lot more love," he said. "It's like it just gets stronger and stronger. They are trying to reel me in.
"I look at him (Thigpen) like a father figure," he added. "I've never really had a father in my life. Me getting close to him and him being a coach, it kind of helps me relate to football and real life situations. I can talk to him about anything. When I feel like I can talk about anything then it's kind of a big deal when you're my coach."
With nothing but positives to say about Auburn following his latest trip, Florence said he's still holding steady with his two leaders and isn't sure when he'll make his final decision.
"Right now it's Auburn one and Bama two," Florence said. "I'm just living it day by day."

BeachBoundBooks is pleased to be coordinating a Blog Tour for the literary fiction novel, Done Growed Up written by Mary Morony. The tour will run from August 1 – August 29, 2016
About the Book
Title: Done Growed Up | Author: Mary Morony | Genre: Literary Fiction | Number of Pages: 266 Publication Date: June 8, 2016
Book Description: When we last left the Mackey Family in the late 1950s, their lives were in turmoil. Divorce, alcoholism, racism, death, puberty – what WEREN’T they dealing with? Ethel, a black maid in a racist world – the true heart and soul of the Mackey Family, is the children’s only constant as she fights her own numerous demons. Twelve-year-old Sallee struggles to understand the world with little enlightenment from the adults around her. Her older sister Stuart, a college student New York City, finally escaped the South and drama of her family only to succumb to the terrible temptations of urban life; Gordon, a 14 year old boy feeling anger and hatred as he begins to slowly realize the harsh reality of the people and world around him; while Ginny, newly divorced mother off our, finds that she’s not the spoiled princess she once was. She is overwhelmed with responsibility, feelings of abandonment, and alcoholism. Joe, Ginny’s ex, and the children’s father, revels in new-found wealth and popularity with women, yet yearns for family and simpler times.
Author Mary Morony was born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, mainly by her family’s beloved black maid. Her childhood was a time of segregated schools and many places that prohibited black people. Morony’s inspiration for the Apron Strings Trilogy was her strong relationship with her maid and caretaker, who taught her more about life and love than anyone has since. Morony also uses personal life tragedies and triumphs to produce novels with real experiences and true emotion.
What readers are saying…
“Terrific read! If you haven’t read it’s prequel “Apron Strings,” you will still enjoy…I was intrigued by the depth of soul in Morony’s characters – she writes in a way where you can see what they’re seeing and feel what they’re feeling.” – Amazon Reviewer
“I thought Mary Morony did a wonderful job of capturing what it’s like to be a child going through the turbulent stages of adolescence. Her characters were very real and relatable, which made the book that much better! I highly recommend giving this a read!” – Melinda (Amazon)
“Even though this book is a sequel, it can certainly stand alone. It was a good easy read and I laughed, I cried and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.” – Amazon Reviewer
“Mary Morony really makes her characters come alive!” – Max (Amazon)
About the Author
Mary Morony’s rich characters are drawn from her childhood memories and lifelong experiences. Growing up in a household where both of her parents (and their maid!) had issues with alcohol, her parents split up in a time when divorce was a humiliating family secret. Morony had a lot of material to work with, even as a child.
By the time Morony was 35, she had been married four times. Divorced, widowed and the mother of four children, she has experienced more in her life than most people would in five lives. It has been said that “A life of tragedy and pain has bred a writer full of wit and compassion” in Mary Morony. As her characters grow and learn, she teaches lessons learned from her own experiences.
Mary Morony is an author who can write about tragedy from the inside and guides her readers through it to compassion, humor and recovery. She brings Southern charm, irreverence and wit to bear against subjects as vast as racism and as personal as alcoholism, always with a heart and soul that makes her work undeniably appealing.
Tell us about yourself.
Having been blessed with a love for telling stories and a life full of drama/trauma loving to write, putting them all together seemed like a no brainer. It has turned out to be one of my greatest ideas in a life full of hair brain ideas. Writing about life issues, human foibles and family dysfunction even generally has given me a wonderfully healing prospective on my own life. Although some of the things I write about I have experienced these books are works of fiction.
What inspired your book Done Growed Up?
Mainly, I wanted Ginny Mackey to have a chance at redemption for her actions in my previous novel. Women in that time didn’t have it easy and Ginny lacked the resources for mental health. I wanted her to get help so my readers could see that she has a heart and soul.
Tell us about your main character.
Ginny Mackey is a recently divorced mother of four struggling to put her life back together after losing a baby, going through a divorce and drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
What other books have you written?
Apron Strings the first in the Apron Strings Trilogy
What do you think readers will find most appealing about your book?
I think my characters are multidimensional with redeemable qualities and hateful qualities… sometimes both. People really care what is going to happen to them.
How did you come up with the idea for your book cover?
Childhood is supposed to be a free and easy time. The girl flying the kite is representative of that feeling, but the child is a silhouette and there is an ominous darkness around her. Her representative mother is present in the scene to offer comfort, yet is not entirely focused on that task. It seemed that being “Done Growed Up” was represented well on all counts and the main characters’ personalities also shine through on this cover.
What are you currently working on?
My fourth novel entitled Shooting in the Dark at Scarce Birds is a novel set in Oak Ridge Tennessee during the war. It is about secrets in a secret city.
How can readers discover more about you and your work?

By Doug Haberman
RIVERSIDE – The city of Riverside’s Redevelopment Agency has settled three eminent domain lawsuits filed against the Garner family for properties the agency wants to see redeveloped.
The cost was $5,894,680 for a total of 2.4 acres in three locations, Development Director Belinda Graham said.
The agency paid almost $3.5 million for 1.7 acres on Merrill Avenue across from the Riverside Plaza, more than $2 million for the old Ab Brown garage site — about six-tenths of an acre — on Lime Street at University Avenue, and $350,000 for a narrow, 4,000-square-foot parking lot next to the old Imperial Hardware building on Main Street near University Avenue.
Public agencies use eminent domain to acquire private property from owners unwilling to sell. They typically employ it to buy land for public uses, such as parks, libraries and street-widening projects, but they can also use eminent domain for redevelopment projects.
When the City Council, acting as the agency board, approved the eminent domain suits against the Garners in 2006, the justification was that their properties were blighted — the Merrill property held boarded-up buildings and the garage was run-down — or not being used to their full potential in the case of the parking lot.
“We’re happy we were able to come to terms with the family,” Assistant City Manager Michael Beck said. “We’re enthusiastic about the parcels playing a more vital role in the city’s economy.”
But Carlsbad resident Sarah Garner, whose family owned the land, said they accepted less money than the land was worth to avoid going to trial.
“We feel like we were taken advantage of, to say the least,” she said.
The whole affair was disappointing because the family had plans for each parcel, Garner said, and the lawsuits put an end to those plans.
While there are tax advantages to having property acquired by eminent domain, Garner said, it will be almost impossible to reinvest the proceeds in parcels that have as much potential as the parcels they were forced to sell.
The Redevelopment Agency demolished the buildings on Merrill and put in a parking lot.
It also demolished the Ab Brown garage and for now will probably put in a parking lot to replace the parking lot that is cater-corner, which in turn will be replaced by the new downtown fire station, Graham said.
On Merrill, the agency acquired all the parcels between the VIP Nightclub and the America’s Tire Co. and solicited proposals for redeveloping the land.
The only responsive bid came from the owners of Riverside Plaza, Graham said.
Her department is evaluating the proposal.
Councilman William “Rusty” Bailey, whose ward includes the plaza and Merrill, said he likes the proposal, which would involve rerouting part of Merrill along the Union Pacific Railroad tracks to allow the mall to expand to the north.
As for the narrow parking lot on Main at University, it would probably become part of any redevelopment of the Imperial Hardware site, Graham said.
The city has not solicited developer proposals for that parcel and has yet to evaluate the condition of the building to see how much it might cost to make it reusable, she said.
Councilman Mike Gardner, whose ward includes downtown, said he doesn’t believe the Imperial Hardware building is as attractive as other old buildings downtown, outside or inside, so he would not be averse to a new three- or four-story building there.
But “I’d want to see what city residents think,” he said.

I would also lower the prices of health medication by 6% and cut high taxes. I will use 75%of the money from taxes and give it to schools and emergency authorities. The other money will be given to those in need. Some countries do not like us but when they go low, we go high. We start as a team and we end as a team and make our country the greatest. I will accept immigration and not cut it. We will bring our economy up. Those who aren’t happy with it can just stand up with and have liberty. We are free and have justice for all! United We Stand!

By Simran Kaur
India’s constitutional mandate on its cherished promise of free speech has withstood several upheavals of time. The jurisprudence spanned over seven decades has been interpreted in the light of the principles of a democratic political society. The underlying basis of this entails exercising the fundamental right to free speech as a citizen, without fear, by circumscribing the extent to which the State can sanction and perpetrate control over it.
The roots of public safety acts like the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 [“UAPA” or “the Act”] traces its origin to the colonial era when the British Government sought to arm itself with laws clandestinely clothed with the need of retaining the sovereign function of law and order, yet brutally repressing voices in the country, yearning to cement itself as a thought in the mainstream. Through this year’s amendment to the UAPA, India’s major internal security law retrogrades into those very nuances and harsh narratives. It certainly deprives people of their fundamental right to free speech and dignity by conferring power on the Government to label an individual as a terrorist on mere suspicion, given the lack of procedural safeguards in the Law . The basis of this legislation is that the Government can declare any organization to be involved in unlawful and terrorist related activities by incorporating it into the Schedule of the Act. The immediate redress provided to the said organization is a chance to present its case of proving its innocence before a review committee constituted by the Government itself. However, the 2019 amendment to the UAPA has blatantly ignored the principles of natural justice by denying any individual who is labeled as a terrorist, the right to appear before the Tribunal constituted for adjudication of claims by providing proof by an association/organization in order to challenge the decision of the government . The fate of an individual however now lies entirely in the hands of the Government which has been given unabated power to function on baseless suspicion only to be accentuated by an inherent procedural bias running through the amendment.
Without affording a procedural safeguard to an individual, the change in law acts a source of palpable social discrimination being meted out to citizens who attempt to revive all those elements of social conscience or perhaps social awakening. These activities are conveniently labeled as to the public safety by the state, which is essentially calling anyone with an anti-government rhetoric a terrorist .
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution states that no person shall be deprived of life and personal liberty except by procedure established by law . The criminal justice system in India inordinately suffers from the vice of unjust tardiness and is highly subject to arbitrary interference by the State in trials pertaining to internal security laws . The amendment systematically goes against the norms of criminal jurisprudence by firstly, denying the opportunity of being heard and secondly, by pinning the entire burden of proof on the person accused of being a terrorist by virtually whittling down any benefit of doubt. Thirdly, the amendment does not lay down a specified amount of time in which the case of an individual being labeled as a terrorist is to be tried. This creates a class of people who are put up in prisons without fair trial for an indefinite period of time.
It strikes at the settled position of law which stretches the paradigm of free speech to propagation of thought and opinion. In consonance with that, the scope of restrictions in Article 19(2) which are imposed were narrowly interpreted. Meaning thereby that criticism of the government cannot be read down into terms and situations like affecting national interests or security loosely. It carries the effect of an unjust clamp down on independent thought. Fundamental rights cannot be put to ransom by intolerant people who seek to impinge it . It is not the expansive dimensions of terrorism as is defined in the Act that is problematic but the overlap between criminalizing unlawful activities, terrorism as well as strong elements of sedition penetrating within which is the very serious concern. It is in this regard that the Government has been conferred with nothing less than an unfettered power to treat and label any act of an individual by any means within the ambit of terrorism.
The Act holds the potential to punish even those peaceful acts and protests which might or might not have a link with public order. In the backdrop of multiple internet shutdowns in several states in recent times, activists being put in jail without trial for peaceful protests and malicious sedition cases being slapped on the faces of citizens for questioning the actions of government, the haziness around the application of the law being infused into aggrandizing fear, as being antithetical to free speech becomes sufficiently clear. While UAPA seeks to curb the organizational basis and roots of organizations which it labels and brings within its ambit, labeling an individual as a terrorist is clouded with ambiguities, manifest arbitrariness and creates a large field for the State to vitiate the dignity of an individual by clipping off basic human rights.
The essential facet of the working of an internal security law like UAPA is that post decisional hearing is a norm when a statutorily established Tribunal clarifies the position of the Government on the status of an organization. The aftermath of the Amendment ruptures this modus operandi by twisting the golden rule of criminal law, “innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt”.
The Amendment operates on an ambiguity of a host of mixed up essentials of sedition, unlawful activity and the degree of punishment along with. While it also falls foul of the rational nexus between the object sought to be achieved and clinching purpose behind the Law. It creates an irrevocable dent in the equilibrium attained by balancing sovereign function of security and an atmosphere conducive to enjoy free speech. No sooner than the Amendment made its way through the Parliament which passed it with brute majority, it was challenged before the Supreme Court citing unequivocal violation of Articles 14, 19 and 21 . To substantiate, it is a multi-pronged attack on the golden triangle of fundamental rights. A law cannot stem from the need to contain political dissent and cannot be tainted by such considerations. The purpose it seeks to achieve should be based on the necessity and pressing need rather than creating an imbalance between the working of the pillars of democracy and assuming absolute power by the Government in derogation to fundamental rights.

Can Men Have Multiple Orgasms?
While it's widely known women can experience multiple orgasms during sex, it's believed men have only one orgasm whenever they ejaculate. However, it's possible for men to have multiple orgasms. In fact, according to a case study, one man had six orgasms over the course of 36 minutes.
So multiple orgasms appear to be possible for men, but they are not common. A 2016 article published in Sexual Medicine Reviews found that fewer than 10 percent of men in their 20s and less than 7 percent of men over the age of 30 reported experiencing multiple orgasms.
When discussing multiple orgasms in men, it's important to distinguish orgasms from ejaculation. An orgasm is the peak, or climax, of sexual pleasure, whereas ejaculation is the discharge of semen from the penis. You can have an orgasm without actually ejaculating.
Can I shorten the refractory period?
The refractory period is the period after ejaculation during which no amount of sexual stimulation can cause another orgasm. Refractory period lengths vary widely among men. Some guys may have a refractory period that lasts a few minutes, while others may take hours or even days. Older men tend to have longer refractory periods.
Men have a number of ways to possibly shorten their refractory period, though research is lacking on some of the techniques you might find on the internet.
However, the same ways in which you can improve your cardiovascular health, for example, can also improve your sexual health.
If you want to improve your sexual health and function, you can:
- Run, walk, swim or participate in other forms of cardio
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Eat healthy foods
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Treat underlying conditions such as diabetes
Some men try pelvic floor exercises, or Kegel exercises, in an attempt to shorten the refractory period. However, little to no research exists to show that these exercises will actually help. That said, such exercises could improve your overall sexual function and may help with premature ejaculation, because having stronger muscles that support the genitals can stop you from ejaculating too soon.
To potentially shorten your refractory period, you need to have optimal testosterone levels, which can be checked with bloodwork. Normal levels are between 300 and 1,000 nanograms per deciliter. Symptoms of low testosterone include decreased libido, depression, weight gain, difficulty building muscle and brain fog. You can boost your T-level by eating healthy fats and proteins, getting a good night's sleep and lifting weights.
Also known as a dry orgasm, a non-ejaculatory orgasm happens when you climax but do not ejaculate semen. While people tend to associate an orgasm with ejaculation, the male orgasm actually occurs between two and seven seconds right before ejaculation. Symptoms include sensitivity throughout the body, quickening of breath and sensations throughout the penis and scrotum. Many men can stop at the point of ejaculation and experience orgasmic pleasure without ejaculating.
If you want to try to achieve multiple non-ejaculatory orgasms, practice the following strategies:
When you're about to reach orgasm, you can try to halt the orgasm by squeezing the head of your penis. Hold it until the urge to ejaculate subsides. Your erection may diminish during this time. When the feeling passes, you can resume sex. This act of withholding ejaculation can help men enjoy multiple sexual peaks.
Also known as edging, the stop-and-start method is another form of orgasm control. This method can increase the intensity of your orgasm as well as increase your chance of having more than one orgasm. When you're about to ejaculate, stop penetration. You can resume activity when the feeling passes.
Then there's the P-spot
While we're on the subject of multiple orgasms, here's an orgasm that men can have without even having an erection.
Some men achieve intense orgasms when their prostate gland is being massaged through the rectum by a partner or a toy. Referred to as the P-spot, the prostate gland is surrounded by nerves that are highly receptive to sexual stimulation. Men who experience prostate orgasms may feel them all over their body. Prostate orgasms don't even have to involve penile ejaculation, and some men have them without even having an erection.
It's important to note that while multiple orgasms are possible, it's unclear whether all men have that ability. While more scientific research is obviously needed on the subject, you may find it enjoyable to try some of the techniques here to see if they work for you.

This City Has a Revolutionary Approach to Dealing With Drugs — And It's Working
The town of Gloucester, Massachusetts, has a crisis on its hands.
According to Boston.com, four people have died of drug overdoses in the small town this year, in a state that has seen an unprecedented surge in opioid-related deaths in the past couple of years.
On Saturday, the town convened a forum to discuss the dangerous uptick in opiate abuse and what could be done about it. After the meeting, Boston.com reports that the Gloucester Police Department made an unexpected announcement: It was going to help the town's drug addicts instead of waging war on them.
"Any addict who walks into the police station with the remainder of their drug equipment (needles, etc.) or drugs and asks for help will not be charged," Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello wrote in a Facebook post that went viral. "Instead, we will walk them through the system toward detox and recovery. We will assign them an 'angel' who will be their guide through the process. Not in hours or days, but on the spot."
Campanello also announced that naloxone, a rescue drug for counteracting opioid overdose, would be made available in local pharmacies without a prescription and that the police department would shoulder the cost of the drug for people without insurance.
The police chief plans to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with the state's U.S. senators and representatives and discuss Gloucester's intention of making "revolutionary changes" in the way they treat addiction.
Gloucester's police department is set to work with Lahey Health Behavioral Services, which will help frequent emergency room visitors deal with the underlying causes of their addictions with hands-on treatment, "from food to transportation, detox to housing," according to Boston.com.
"I have arrested or charged many addicts and dealers. I've never arrested a tobacco addict, nor have I ever seen one turned down for help when they develop lung cancer, whether or not they have insurance," writes Campanello. "The reasons for the difference in care between a tobacco addict and an opiate addict is stigma and money."
An emerging trend: The notion that hard drug addiction should be treated as a disease rather than a moral failing is gaining traction in across the country.
Earlier this year, Kentucky passed legislation to deal with its heroin epidemic, making penalties for dealers stricter, but relaxing laws for people suffering from addiction. Mic reported on the law in March:
The law allows local health departments to create needle exchanges, which means that heroin users can swap used needles and syringes for clean ones for free, minimizing the risk of transmitting infectious diseases. Users who overdose won't be charged with a crime, but will be recommended to treatment services. The law also expands access to naloxone, a rescue drug for counteracting heroin overdose, by taking steps to allow pharmacists to provide the drug to addicts, their family members and friends, without a prescription. A "Good Samaritan" clause promises amnesty to people who call emergency responders about an overdose.
The Kentucky law was inspired in part by the success of one Ohio town's decision to open up a clean needle exchange which public health officials have credited with decreasing disease transmission and facilitating the guidance of addicts to treatment services.
Seattle has also seen promising results for its innovative program that gives police officers the option to divert someone suspected of a low-level drug-related crime to harm reduction-oriented management instead of the typical route of prosecution. A study from the University of Washington found that people who were directed to the welfare-focused program were up to 58% less likely to be arrested for new crimes since their first arrest than non-diverted suspects.
These are all hopeful developments. A society that understands that addiction is best understood as a disease instead of a crime is a healthier one.

Share All options that are sharing: Cannabis 101: helpful tips to CBD oil, what it really is, how it functions, who are able to make use of it
Rep. Earl Blumenaer, an Oregon Democrat, introduced House Resolution 420, which may end the federal prohibition on cannabis. | Sun-Times Archives
This is certainly section of an on-going a number of sun-times info guides about cannabis. Today, we glance at CBD oil: just just what it really is; how it functions; just what it treats and the legalities CBD that is surrounding use Illinois.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is just a non-intoxicating chemical substance which comes through the cannabis sativa plant. CBD is one of over 100 such substances, referred to as cannabinoids, which can be based in the plant.
Another cannabinoid — CBD doesn’t get users stoned unlike THC — or tetrahydrocannabinol. In the last few years, CBD is continuing to grow ever more popular, with clients and experts reporting that it could be employed to treat a variety of health problems, including epilepsy, Crohn’s illness as well as anxiety in dogs.
Here’s all you need to learn about the drug treatment that is trendy
What’s the past reputation for CBD?
CBD was initially discovered in the 1940s by Roger Adams, the previous mind of this chemistry division at University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. In the research, Adams isolated CBD from hemp but could determine what exactly n’t he’d discovered. As well as CBD, Adams additionally synthesized analogs of THC and another cannabinoid, showing their relationship to CBD.
When you look at the 1960s, Israeli chemist Raphael Mechoulam and their group took the investigation further, eventually synthesizing cannabinoids — including CBD, THC among others — and describing their chemical structures for future research. Mechoulam, a teacher at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, nevertheless studies cannabis even today.
Is CBD appropriate in Illinois?
Most of the confusion over CBD is due to its murky appropriate status.
Since the DEA nevertheless lists marijuana and hemp as dangerous Schedule I medications, along side heroin and ecstasy, CBD continues to be unlawful under federal legislation. Congress has become is thinking about the 2018 Farm Bill, which may legalize commercial hemp across the nation.
Despite some confusion, the Agriculture Act of 2014 didn’t legalize hemp-based CBD services and products nationwide, but only permitted for states and universities to develop hemp. Nonetheless, hemp-based CBD has already been commonly and easily available throughout all of the nation.
Illinois is among 37 states which have legalized marijuana-based CBD for medical usage, while nine other states have completely legalized cooking pot as well as its derivatives. Four other states — Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota — nevertheless prohibit the use that is medical of CBD.
Final month, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner signed down on a bill that legalized industrial hemp cultivation in Illinois and founded guidelines to check crops’ THC amounts. Such as the bill being considered by federal lawmakers, the legislation in Illinois pubs hemp-based CBD from containing significantly more than 0.3 percent THC.
What exactly is CBD used to deal with?
The World Health Organization’s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence said CBD may benefit people diagnosed with in a study released last year
- Alzheimer’s condition
- Parkinson’s infection
- Multiple sclerosis
- Huntington’s illness
- Cancer Tumors
- Inflammatory diseases
- Arthritis rheumatoid
- Inflammatory bowel and Crohn’s infection
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Diabetic complications
The committee noted that “CBD exhibits no impacts indicative of any abuse or dependence possible. when you look at the report” Other healthcare professionals may also be making use of CBD to deal with other health problems, like autism, insomnia issues as well as other psychological state conditions.
CBD began gaining nationwide visibility when news outlets started profiling Charlotte essential hyperlink Figi, an 11-year-old woman from Colorado with Dravet problem, a severe as a type of intractable epilepsy.
At age 5, Figi’s moms and dads, Matt and Paige Figi, had exhausted all conventional options within their quest to regulate the a huge selection of grand mal seizures their young child had been experiencing each and every day. They fundamentally looked to the Stanleys, a team of brothers whom develop cooking cooking pot in Colorado, whom then developed a groundbreaking CBD that is hemp-based oil dubbed “Charlotte’s Web.”
Since she started using the oil, Figi has skilled far fewer seizures and it is in a position to enjoy a far more childhood that is normal. But, proof from situations like Figi’s continues to be mainly anecdotal as researchers continue steadily to pin straight down CBD’s exact systematic results.
Do you know the results of CBD?
Unlike THC, CBD does not get users high, a distinction that is important has helped drive the interest in the medication ingredient.
Conventional medicines tend to focus on the outward symptoms of the particular condition, but CBD goes following the reason for those signs, relating to Ronald Aung-Din, M.D., a celebrated Florida neurologist.
Pharmaceuticals generally stimulate or block receptors to produce their function, but CBD as well as other cannabis-based treatments communicate using the body’s endocannabinoid system, which obviously binds to chemical compounds like CBD and THC. This biological impact reportedly allows CBD to deal with such an array of health conditions.
A study that is european a year ago because of the nationwide Center for Biotechnical Suggestions listed tiredness, diarrhoea and alterations in weight and appetite as possible negative effects of CBD. The majority of the research had been carried out on patients with epilepsy or disorders that are psychotic.
Are there any different sorts of CBD?
Yes, there are numerous types that are different:
CBD items that result from the marijuana plant generally have greater levels of THC, a mix that some professionals claim advances the CBD’s recovery impacts. Because of this, CBD strains with greater levels of THC can cause both euphoria and stony side-effects, like anxiety, paranoia and dizziness, in accordance with Leafly.
To get marijuana-derived CBD from an Illinois dispensary, qualifying patients must first get yourself a medical cannabis card by using the actions outlined in this Sun-Times guide to marijuana that is medical Illinois.
As soon as an individual happens to be authorized for the state’s program that is medical they are able to go directly to the dispensary they selected through the application process to purchase CBD along with other cannabis services and products.
Hemp-based CBD services and products can be purchased over-the-counter at wellness facilities and shops that are bong nearly all of America, including Illinois.
You can find a couple of choices for hemp-based CBD users: goods that only contain CBD yet others that have a complete array of a huge selection of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), as well as CBD and a minuscule quantity of THC.
All of the different chemical compounds based in the cannabis plant are thought to have various healing effects. As an example, non-intoxicating CDG apparently aids in rest and infection and kills germs.
A brand new research predicts industry for hemp-derived CBD could eclipse all of those other appropriate cooking pot industry to achieve $22 billion by 2022.
A move that will almost undoubtedly spur more research into what else it can treat in June, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first prescription CBD drug.
The medication, a syrup that is strawberry-flavored Epidiolex, can be used to deal with two rare types of youth epilepsy. In their research, Food And Drug Administration officials discovered that Epidiolex paid off seizures with regards to had been along with other epilepsy medications.
Food And Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb stated their agency had supported research on cannabis-derived services and products for “many years,” but warned from the utilization of CBD items with “unproven medical claims.”
“The advertising and make use of of these products that are unapproved keep some clients from accessing appropriate, respected therapies to take care of severe as well as fatal diseases,” Gottlieb stated.
Before Epidiolex can head to market, the Drug Enforcement management must formally reclassify CBD in to a federal medication category with medical approval. The FDA has formerly authorized synthetic cannabinoids to take care of weight that is severe in patients with HIV.Share this on WhatsApp

Lennon filming on location in Almeria.
IN 1966 a British newspaper published an interview with John Lennon where he launched a phrase that would shake the world. “We are now more popular than Jesus.”
The reaction was thunderous, and the controversy grew like a snowball.
Just a month later, John Lennon arrived in Almería to shoot the anti-war film ‘How I won the war.’
The city had become a Hollywood in miniature thanks to the contrast of its landscapes and the good conditions offered to large productions.
There John Lennon, fed up with the controversy, found the perfect place to hide.
Also, for the first time, he was going to make a solo tape, without the company of the other Beatles.
On October 9, coinciding with his 26th birthday, John’s wife Cynthia and Ringo Starr went to the Andalucian city to celebrate. They rented the Finca de Santa Isabel, today headquarters of the Casa del Cine de Almería, to stay in.
Little did they know that one of Lennon’s greatest compositions was going to take shape there.
Cynthia said that it was the inspiration for his immortal ‘Strawberry Fields Forever.’
John Lennon confirmed a couple of years later in Rolling Stone magazine that it was there that he composed the famous song, “I composed it in Spain when I was filming ‘How I won the war.’ I did it from time to time and it took me a long time to write it, I did it in chunks.”
The serenity of those days carried the musician back to his childhood and the memory of another huge house, the orphanage where he spent his first years in Liverpool named.. Strawberry Field.
Strawberry Fields Forever was released in February 1967 as a “double single” alongside another track that also evoked childhood in Liverpool, Paul McCartney’s ‘Penny Lane.’
We hope you enjoyed this article “John Lennon wrote one of his famous hits ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ whilst staying in Almeria”.

Collaboration aims to create “the ultimate destination for esports and music fans.”
Universal Music Group’s (UMG) Central Europe announced a multi-year partnership with esports company ESL that includes the launch of a joint record label.
The tie-up will see the label team scout out and sign promising artists, who will then be promoted through ESL’s global tournaments and channels. Artists picked up by the label will also perform at live competitive gaming tournaments during half-time shows and prior to grand finals around the world.

In addition, the deal will include the exclusive integration of new music into live game broadcasts and various ESL social media channels.
Frank Briegmann, president and chief executive of Central Europe UMG, said: “Together, our dedicated new label, with its laser-sharp focus on the artists and music of esports, will provide the soundtrack to the gaming experience for this massive global audience for years to come.”
Bernhard Mogk, vice president of global sales and business development for the ESL, added: “Music is a universal language and, like gaming, one of the key-pillars of pop-culture. Over the last couple years, live music acts have become an integral part of our global tournaments.
“We are looking forward to giving new artists and talent a new platform to perform on and to provide even more entertainment to our fans, both on-site and for everyone watching our live streams around the world.”

In these times of MySpace stars and YouTube glory, it’s nice to know that earnest golden oldies still have a place in our hearts – or our cell-phones, as the case may be. Sixty-one years after it originally became a hit, classic crooner Perry Como’s version of “Jingle Bells” has scored the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s ringtones chart (with his rendition of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” coming in at No. 3), bumping Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” down a notch.
Did you know…
“Perry” wasn’t his real name?
It was actually Pierino Ronald Como. “Mr. C,” as the singer and television personality was occasionally known, was born in 1912 and died in 2001, three years before anyone bothered to keep track of a ringtone’s popularity.
Como’s songs have been No. 1 before?
“Till the End of Time” was his first No. 1 single, holding the spot for 10 weeks in 1945. Since then, he’s had so many hit records that he allegedly asked his label (RCA Victor) to stop having them certified. “Jingle Bells” appeared on his 1946 album, “Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music,” giving him his first No. 1-charting LP.
That the “Jingle Bells” we sing today is different from the original?
Written by James Lord Pierpont (J.P. Morgan’s uncle), it was copyrighted under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” on Sept. 16, 1857. Not only does it have different lyrics and a different chorus melody – it’s more classical – but it wasn’t even written as a Christmas song: It describes sleigh drag races in Boston.

Our desire to laugh at that which terrifies and worries us has never been clearer than while viewing the artwork on display in Black Mirror: Art as Social Satire exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery. Here, 26 different artists give voice to our anxieties: over the attraction of technology, the selfishness of society, and the greed of capitalism. This social satire provides us with the ability to laugh at that which we fear, but it is a laugh filled with unease. As Pym states “satire is both reality and its escape’; in reflecting both, Black Mirror creates within the viewer both relief and an unsettling notion that that which they are laughing at is a little too close to the truth.
On entering the first room of the exhibition, the viewer is confronted by Jade Townsend’s ‘Cash Cow’, a pair of male legs holding a red painting with faded statements about sex and death written across it. The blunt title makes clear Townsend’s message on the value society places on sex. To balance out this more sinister piece, half of the room is dedicated to Bedwyr Williams’ ‘Walk a Mile in my Shoes’. Williams takes this common idiom literally by comically presenting pairs of his own (size 13) shoes with labels explaining their relevance to his life. In doing so, he reminds us of the individuality so often ignored in favour of sweeping generalisations.
Within Black Mirror, James Howard and Simon Bedwell present us with two completely different yet equally powerful uses of satirical posters. Howard’s posters seem to advertise surgeries and processes that have become normalised while subverting their normality to highlight the issues with our commercial, quick-fix society. Bedwell’s posters, on the other hand, publicise non-existent events (much like in the popular tv-series Black Mirror itself) creating fictions based off what our world might slip into being, thus underlining the problematic parts of our current society.
Whilst much of the artwork in this exhibition is thought-provoking and enlightening, the highlight of the exhibition is, without a doubt, Richard Billingham’s photographic series ‘Ray’s A Laugh’. An insight into his childhood, surrounded by alcoholism and poverty, it is easy to view the series as simply an indictment of his own life and the wealth gap that divides our society. However, the title itself combined with some of the gentler photographs of his parents remind us that there are still moments of light, even when times seem dark.
Wandering through Black Mirror, it is easy to feel a little lost. There are no explanatory cards by each piece of artwork, no singular thematic idea; in fact, there is little guidance given at all. However, this pushes the viewer to pause by each piece a little longer and delve in a little deeper for themselves. By inviting the viewer to question what they are seeing, the exhibition reflects the process of creating social satire itself.

Well, I’m a big one for “you are what you eat”, there is a massive connection between what goes on inside your body and what goes on in your mind that’s linked to what you put in your mouth. With my new found love of food and what it can do for your weight and health, I have listed some great foods that are good for your brain power. Enjoy, Remember to share and comment, please !
Walnuts – Eat these nuts with the skins on that’s where the powerful antioxidants are. Great for magnesium which helps regulate your sleep patterns.
Avocados – this one is my all time favourite food, great for so many things, the good guys in avocados are the caroteniods which help improve brain performance. Plus the amazing healthy fats, which keeps the inflammation under control. More on inflammation later.
Extra Virgin olive oil – Its all about the good fats again here. Extra virgin olive oil has more mono-unsaturated oleic acid than any other oil, that`s the key to you brain function.
Cauliflower – I feel sorry for the old cauliflower, it always gets forgotten about, but its an amazing power food. Big source of vitamin C which can elevate your mood, plus the Vitamin K will keep your mind sharp.
Beets – You really need to be eating these babies. where do I start? – High in Nitrites which can increase your blood flow in parts of he brain executive functioning. And they`re packed with folate (aids brain function), great with helping with dementia.
Pumpkin seeds – Only recently learnt myself that these amazing seeds are a great anti-depressant. They`re loaded with zinc a mineral that keeps depression at bay. They also contain glutamate, which produces GABA, a chemical that fights stress in the brain.
Hope you can start using these foods – Remember to share this blog post with friends and give them the benefits too.


Emika, born in the UK and of Czech heritage, studied classical piano and composition. She waitressed to save up for her first Apple Mac and copy of Logic.
She was living in Bristol as the city transitioned from d&b to dubstep and she went to the first parties organised by Pinch. “I continue to be a part of this culture which has spread worldwide now.”
She now lives in Berlin, where she works as a sound designer for Native Instruments and it is here she discovered the legendary Berghain nightclub in 2010 where she began making field recordings. She made a sample library which all the resident producer/DJs made music from. The resulting compilation of music became the club's label, Ostgut Ton's anniversary release, called 'Fünf'.
All her songs are based on narratives: “I start with an idea, a story, and then I seek to find the sound world that best dramatises my story, making it into a song. I try very hard to stay faithful to my narratives and not fall into the trap of genre conventions which is why I’m shy of genre references.
Emika has worked with Jimmy Edgar, Marcel Dettmann, Tommy Four Seven, Pinch, Nick Hoppner, Paul Frick, Brand Brauer Frick and Amon Tobin.
The musical world of Emika is a dark place, with the type of glitchy, downtempo dubstep sounds that are made for dangerous liaisons in urban settings. The singer/producer, whose real name is Ema Jolly (we can see why she’s chosen the stage name ‘Emika’--somehow Jolly doesn’t quite fit her musical persona), was born and raised in the UK, but has traded the cider apple-laden landscape of Bristol for the legendary nightlife in Berlin. In 2011, she released her self-titled debut album.
“3 Hours” is the first track on the album, a chilling number that has Emika whispering lines like “hit me when you wanna, and I’ll take the blame” and “hit me if you think that it will help the pain” over a crack-the-dominatrix-whip backbeat.
Not to be confused with the song from “Beauty and the Beast,” “Be My Guest” is as far as you can get from the peppy Disney tune that serves as the soundtrack for enchanted dinnerware performing at a table. Instead, Emika’s song incorporates buzzing electronics and a glitchy, bass-heavy beat that gives more of a spooky, aliens-are-taking-over feel.
On “Count Backwards,” Emika’s femmebot-esque vocals mysteriously count out the numbers “68911080,” as if she’s just injected a dose of anaesthesia and is waiting for you to slip away from the present moment and into her ominous world. “Double Edge” is the epitome of post-R&B, with Emika’s soulful vocals contrasted with electronic beats, while instrumental closing track “Credit Theme” displays her classical piano skills. The melody is utterly haunting, slightly theatrical, and a completely suitable way to bring her first musical chapter to an end.

Oh it was swank, it really was! In one fluid motion the black jacketed waiter lofted the glass from his tray and set it down decisively before me. A tall, elegant flute, full of tiny bubbles cavorting in endless games of tag, a drinkable lava lamp, The Lawrence Welk Show in a glass, my very first Kir Royale.
The bubbles exploded on my tongue with a cool sizzle, the taste an intoxicating and lingering blend of memory and possibility…
I am reading, my eyes bobbing through the paragraphs like a motorboat nipping over the waves when the word fairly leaps out at me and plants itself in front of me, hands on hips. chin jutting out, stomping it’s foot for my attention. Eudaemonia. Eudaemonia? I stop and pronounce it once slowly and then over and over again, instantly loving the roll of the syllables over my tongue. It is an effervescent word, at once joyous and musical and I find myself embracing it like a long lost friend, wrapping my whole self around it even before I know what it means. For a little while, I just leave it that way. Then finally, I look it up.
Eudaemonia. From the ancient Greek. A complete and flourishing life. I pause for a moment. But of course.
I sit on the edge of my chair on the cusp of a miracle. A small miracle maybe, but a miracle nonetheless. Two years, a hundred weeks, every other Tuesday without fail, my fiftieth post. I’m pleased, I’m proud, I’m astonished, to tell you the truth. But let’s face it, this moment is merely a flourish. A quick little “ta da” and let’s move on. Because, of course, it’s the continuity that enraptures me and the continuity that really counts. Flourishing, not the flourish. Flourishing takes time. Flourishing takes a lifetime.
If you think of living as a constant succession of flourishes it’s nice I suppose to occasionally gather all the blooms and arrange them in a carefully constructed display. But to truly flourish, it’s important to leave some blooms to grow, even if they need to be left to the vagaries of the wind and the rain and sometimes the far too hot sun, am I right? There is always renewal. Why else to call them perennials?
For all of us human flowers to flourish I think our personal gardens need to be seeded with connection and kindness, watered with contemplation and memory. It’s why I”m writing. Perhaps too heavy handed a metaphor? Forgive me. But I mean it. My intentions are good here. Here’s a prime opportunity for you: Be kind to me on this one.
In my romance of the word Eudaemonia (oh, how I love to say this word!) I am finding that one part of this short definition is catching me a bit off balance. A complete and flourishing life.
How can any life be considered complete? There are always mistakes we make, connections dropped, opportunities squandered no matter how exemplary some of us may be. All life, each one magnificently messy, cannot be tied up in a nice neat package and considered “complete.” And if one of the key elements to a good life is connection, as I am certain that it is, there isn’t completion but continuity. It’s our attempt that matters, our links with others that form an ongoing chain from the past to us to the future.
“However,” said the great gourmet and writer Brillat-Savarin in The Physiology of Taste, “I have lived long enough to know that each generation says the same thing and is inevitably laughed at by the next one.”
Hmm. Some generational connections are a bit difficult then, but I maintain they are connections nonetheless. We continue to play the game.
And so to return to my Kir Royale. A new glass, filled to the brim, is placed before me. I still love the bubbles swirling through space! It’s as if each tiny sphere is set to burst with thrilling possibility!
I raise the glass high in a toast to all of us, a small flourish in our quests for flourishing lives.
