PHG is a toolbox for developing parallel adaptive finite element programs. PHG is currently under active development at State Key Laboratory of Scientific and Engineering Computing of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
PHG deals with conforming tetrahedral meshes and uses bisection for adaptive local mesh refinement and MPI for message passing. PHG has an object oriented design which hides parallelization details and provides common operations on meshes and finite element functions in an abstract way, allowing the users to concentrate on their numerical algorithms.
PHG has a set of rich and easy to use interfaces to other packages, including ParMETIS, PETSc, Hypre, SuperLU, MUMPS, Trilinos, PARPACK, JDBSYM, LOBPCG.

Two-time Oscar-winning producer Dede Gardner (12 Years a Slave and Moonlight) always believed that Miriam Toews' novel, Women Talking, would work on the big screen. Both the novel and the film, adapted by writer-director Sarah Polley, center on a group of Mennonite women who meet in secret to discuss the best way to respond to the violence inflicted upon them by the men of their community.
"I never questioned that it could be cinematic," Gardner said during an Academy-hosted Q&A for the film. After meeting with fellow producer Frances McDormand (herself an Oscar-winning producer for Nomadland in addition to being a three-time Oscar-winning actress), "I think we just thought, let's shoot for the moon and try. I didn't see why not to try. I figured, like, if 12 Angry Men can do it, so can eight women."
Women Talking received Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, and during Sunday's 95th Oscars, Polley took home the Oscar for the latter. Onstage, she said she was accepting the award on behalf of her entire cast and crew — a sentiment she'd also expressed during the panel conversation in discussing how the film became a collective vision.
"I had such amazing input at every stage, and so many people who brought all of themselves and their lived experience to the table," Polley said. "When I see the film, I'm able to see all of these little tendrils of different people's thoughts and dreams in the film, so you're able to be proud of it in a different way than if it was just your voice — and that's been thrilling."

NEW YORK — The heavyweight title match between Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis may be back on track following Tuesday’s 3-0 vote to grant Tyson a license by the Washington, D.C., Boxing and Wrestling Commission.
Promoters for Tyson and Lewis are negotiating with Washington’s MCI Center for a June 8 pay-per-view event. Match would be the first one jointly sponsored by the competing pay TV networks HBO, which represents Lewis, and Showtime, which represents Tyson.
But the bout is contingent on MCI and local entrepreneurs coming up with a guaranteed $12.5 million to the promoters. That’s the figure the MGM Grand in Las Vegas had settled on before the state athletic commission of Nevada last month prohibited the fight, citing a brawl by Tyson at a news conference in New York in January as the reason for removing his license.
Detroit and Memphis also have made offers for the fight because Michigan and Tennessee have granted Tyson a boxing license. Such foreign cities as Madrid, Manila, Johannesburg, Copenhagen and Beirut have contacted the promoters as well. But the general consensus is that the principals are leaning toward Washington.
Both sides want the fight to take place because each fighter is guaranteed a purse of $17.5 million. And the long buildup could result in a PPV buy rate approaching the previous record of $99.6 million harvested by the second Tyson-Evander Holyfield fight on June 28, 1997.

An elderly man from Chelmsford who was accused of committing a string of sex offences against a child has been cleared of all charges.
Kenneth Buckingham, 77, stood trial at Chelmsford Crown Court after being charged with eleven offences; five counts of indecent assault, five counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of rape.
The man who accused Mr Buckingham, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told officers at Colchester CID that the pensioner had groomed him and touched his private parts over his clothing from the age of nine to 11.
He also claimed that on one occasion Mr Buckingham tried to perform penetrative sex on him but he stopped him by kicking him off and hiding.
He claimed that this incident caused him medical discomfort and pain as he got older.
Mr Buckingham, of Chignal Road, was arrested by police on February 13 last year.
He denied the charges and was found not guilty by a jury earlier this week.
During the trial, Mr Buckingham's solicitor, Richard Conley, accused the alleged victim of lying and claimed that his lies had snowballed into a false accusation.
Mr Buckingham's wife, Jean, spoke out as the alleged victim was giving evidence in the stand, saying that the claims are ridiculous and a lie.
She was ordered to leave the court by the judge.

Lauder, James Stack (‘Jacques Lafayette’) (1853–1923), portrait photographer, born 22 January 1853, was one of ten children (six sons and four daughters) of Edmond (sometimes Edmund) Stanley Lauder (c.1824–91) and his wife, Sarah Harding Lauder (née Stack, c.1828–1913). They lived at 42 Blessington Street, Dublin. The Lauder family came from Tisaran, near Banagher, King's Co. (Offaly); Edmond Lauder was buried there in 1891. His wife was from Parsonstown, King's Co.; she died in 1913 and was buried in St Fintan's, Sutton, Co. Dublin.
Edmond Lauder went to Dublin in the early 1850s and in partnership set up a photographic studio, which traded as Lauder Brothers; during that decade the firm expanded because a new cheaper photograph on glass (ambrotype) was beginning to replace the earlier daguerreotype. From 1860 a further photographic revolution occurred with the introduction of a relatively inexpensive photograph on paper called the ‘carte-de-visite’. Lauder Brothers eventually had three photographic studios in Dublin, at 45 Sackville Street lower, and 22 and 32 Westmoreland Street, all located on what was known as the ‘photographic mile’, from Sackville Street through Westmoreland Street to Grafton Street, where the best photographic studios were to be found.
In the 1870s James Lauder had the opportunity to study art and painting in France and Germany, but soon discovered that he did not have the talent to be a successful painter, and was forced to earn his living in a Berlin photographic studio. He returned to Dublin and in 1880 set up a photographic studio of his own at 30 Westmoreland Street, in association with his brother Edmond Stanley Lauder junior, who had a confectionery business at that address. This new studio was to be different: it was a ‘maison de photographie Française’ and Lauder, under the name Monsieur Jacques Lafayette ‘late of Paris’, was in attendance.
By 1882 Lafayette had built a huge reputation as a portrait photographer among the landed and governing classes. In May 1882 Lafayette published a letter received from the Viceregal Lodge, Dublin, in which the lord lieutenant, Earl Cowper (qv), and Lady Cowper expressed approval of his work.
Lafayette became better known by sending work to London, Paris, and other cities. From 1884 he showed photographs at the annual exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society in London; in that year the judges spoke of his ‘excellent portraits of high quality’, for which he was awarded a medal. In the following year the judges found that in the professional portraiture section ‘the finest undoubtedly is that of Lafayette of Dublin’; again, he was a medal winner. In 1889, at the Paris exhibition, Lafayette had the satisfaction of securing a gold medal. His reputation grew and in 1887 he received the supreme honour – he was invited to photograph Queen Victoria in her jubilee year and was granted a royal warrant as ‘Her Majesty's photographer in Dublin’. He continued to receive royal commissions, photographing members of the royal family: the prince of Wales, the princesses Louise and Maud, and Prince Albert Victor (1889), Prince George of Wales and the duke of Clarence (1891), the duke of York, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and the princess of Wales (1893). His photograph of the princess of Wales in the robes of a doctor of music, taken in Dublin in 1885, sold 60,000 copies, producing a turnover of at least £1,500 from one negative. Lafayette photographed royalty at Osborne, Windsor, Buckingham Palace and Marlborough House. He found it easy to work with members of the royal family because they would do almost anything to help the photographer. There was one exception, which irritated Lafayette: royalty would not come to his studio and therefore he had to rely on natural light at the royal palaces.
He also developed a name for a type of illustration photography which ranged over a number of subjects: classical, romantic, pastoral, and flirtatious encounters, characterised by young women in classical dress making votive offerings, young women floating through the sky singly or in pairs, swashbuckling men wooing coy maidens, and photographs in rural settings showing love lost or won. Lafayette had been criticised by exhibition judges for over-retouching negatives, and this fault is sometimes so noticeable in his work in this genre that the finished pictures, though pleasing to the eye, have lost their distinctive photographic quality. The Westmoreland Street studio had a variety of props which were used in these photographs: foliage, tables, chairs, baskets, and delfware. On the top floor of his studio Lafayette regularly painted scenery backdrops to be used in this genre. The public were curious about ‘An evening zephyr’, a photograph in which a young woman with loose-flowing clothes appeared to be floating in the sky over a city. The explanation was simple: in a rooftop studio in Westmoreland Street she was photographed lying on a sheet of plate glass with a painted scene of a city viewed from above placed underneath the glass and lit; the camera was then poised aloft in the studio roof to obtain the photograph.
Lauder's business thrived, and branches were opened in Glasgow and Manchester by 1891. His brother George Lauder was photographer in the Glasgow branch. Lafayette was innovative. He introduced electrical lighting and by 1891 sunlight was ‘practically supplanted’ in his Dublin studio; to counteract the flare caused by fog being lit by studio lights, Lafayette fitted his studios with air-conditioning systems which produced a clear atmosphere. Lafayette was ambitious. In January 1895 he and his brother Edmond agreed to dissolve their partnerships in three photographic studios in which they had interests – Lauder Brothers, Stanley's photographic studio in Dublin, which the group had acquired, and Lafayette photographic studios with branches in Dublin, Glasgow, and Manchester. James Lauder was now free to concentrate on expanding the firm of Lafayette. He left Dublin for London where in 1897 he set up another Lafayette branch.
James Lauder originally lived next door to his parents in Blessington Street, but moved to Dalkey, Co. Dublin, first, in 1887, to Sunnyside, Vico Road, and then, in 1890, to Glencairn House, Harbour Road. In London he married Annie, the daughter of an artist, Felix Pierre Dinnette. James Lauder died at Bruges, Belgium, 20 August 1923, aged seventy. Edmond Stanley Lauder junior, who had been involved in the Lafayette studio from 1880 to 1895, resided at Carramore, Burrow Road, Sutton, Co. Dublin. In 1895, five months after the partnerships were dissolved, he died at the young age of thirty-five and was buried in St Fintan's, Sutton. He was survived by his wife, Mary, and three daughters. In the year he died he had been developing a housing estate on Burrow Road. His assets at death were valued at about £18,000.
The firm of Lafayette continued to thrive in the early twentieth century, publishing in 1908 photographs of the catholic bishops of Ireland which were presented by the Irish hierarchy to Pope Pius X, and taking portraits of British political leaders and Indian maharajas in the London studio. Lafayette's work was published in popular periodicals such as Country Life. For a number of reasons, including changing styles in studio photography and the popularisation of photography through sales of roll-film cameras, the business went into decline and was eventually sold off in the early 1950s.
Lauder's Lane, off Burrow Road, Sutton, was named after Edmond Stanley Lauder junior, and a photographic firm in Dublin bearing the name Lafayette traces its lineage back to the original firm. Substantial holdings of Lafayette glass negatives are in the Victoria and Albert Museum and in the National Portrait Gallery, London; Lafayette photographs are also in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle.

Now that we know most people in this province won’t be vaccinated against COVID-19 until the end of the summer, when you read the B.C. Restart Plan it’s difficult to see how there will be fans cheering on the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena at any point in the 2020-21 NHL season.
The plan, first released in May and updated in November, seems clear. Events that bring together large gatherings of people, like professional sports, won’t be allowed until the province has entered into Phase 4, the final stage of our recovery from the novel coronavirus pandemic.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Only when at least one of three things occurs in B.C. will we move to Phase 4: either there’s widespread vaccination (current estimates suggest this won’t be until the end of the summer), the community develops broad immunity through infections (the imminent arrival of vaccines has ruled out this chance, which would have been a disaster anyway) or broad successful treatments are developed (none yet).
Only when widespread vaccination has occurred, which isn’t likely before the end of next summer, we’ll be in Phase 4. Then B.C. can again host conventions, attend live sports and concerts, and host tourists from abroad.
The NHL has been hopeful for months that they’d be able to have some fans in the stands in some arenas this season, but as the COVID-19 situation has worsened in most parts of North America, how likely that is remains unclear.
The NBA had hoped to open its season later this month with some fans in the stands, but most teams have yet to release any formal plans.
So, in that regard, B.C.’s stance on fans in the stands isn’t exactly an outlier. Vaccinations are expected to begin by January, starting with at-risk people and health care workers.
It’s almost certain there won’t be enough people vaccinated to start removing restrictions on the size of public gatherings before summer.
Way back in April, Dr. Bonnie Henry, the provincial health officer, was asked when she thought indoor facilities like casinos would open again. They’re big revenue drivers for municipalities and non-profits, it was pointed out as part of the question.
“That is one of the ones that have been closed under a public health order and it would be last on my list to consider for reopening at this point because we know that type of environment is a closed environment — an inside environment,” she said then.
Given the behaviours of people in casinos — people in proximity, lots of loud talking, drinking and cheering — there’s a lot of easy parallels to be drawn with sports arenas.
Henry’s deputy, Dr. Réka Gustafson, explained in August the most risky environments for transmission: “COVID-19 transmission is highest-risk in close settings where people are in proximity, especially if they are interacting quite a bit or are touching many things. And especially if some of the behaviours are altered by alcohol.”
Again, that sure sounds like a sports arena.
Playing as many 28 home games without fans — the latest chatter suggests the NHL is looking at a Jan. 15 start, with teams playing 56 games — will be the bitterest of pills to swallow.
The Canucks didn’t have a comment for this story, but it seems likely they are hopeful that even though the official restart plan says no large gatherings until Phase 4 that there might be a willingness from public health officials to consider some fans in the building at some point this season.
In September, the Canucks acknowledged they’ve been working on plans that would allow for some fans in the building and those plans remain in place. Part of the process in developing those plans will have been to speak with public health officials.
Last month, Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk insisted that things like rapid testing would make it possible for teams to get fans in the building. The Senators have a plan to have as many as 6,000 fans in their arena, though it’s not clear if public health officials would sign off on having that many people in a building.
In the end, it’s worth nothing that while Henry is never a fan of speculating on what-if scenarios, in her April comments she did leave the door open to a future with limited reopenings: “I would have to be convinced that there is a valid reason and a safe way to do it and I think that is something for further down the line.”
The latest reports suggest the NHL is now looking at a Jan. 15 start for the 2020-21 season, even as the league and its players’ association is at odds over how to handle what is surely a worst-case scenario for revenue.
After a final round of terminations to non-hockey operations staff next week — a process that began in late July — the Canucks will be down to about 40 people from what was once a full-time staff of 200.
Those terminations includes staff in areas like ticket sales, ice and arena maintenance, game production and more.
Even the man who plays Fin is out the door, though the mascot worker is being offered work on a per-appearance basis. (Meaning, the Canucks for Kids Fund stressed in a tweet, Fin is still available for birthday drive-by bookings.)
The mass reduction in staff is a statement about how harsh revenue projections appear to be for 2020-21 and how, more than ever, cost-conscious ownership is.

“The ability of cannabis and THC to lower intra-ocular pressure in glaucoma was serendipitously discovered in the late 1970’s by a variety of patients and researchers. Several patients in the US Compassionate Use Investigational New Drug Program maintained their vision while employing large amounts of daily cannabis in situations where standard drug therapy failed…
An emerging concept is that glaucoma represents a progressive vascular retinopathy that requires a neuroprotectant to preserve vision. Some of the resulting optic nerve damage accrues due to NMDA hyperexcitability, an effect that THC and CBD may counter as neuroprotective antioxidants.
Thus, glaucoma is an area where cannabis and cannabinoids may offer particular advantages over available single ingredient ocular anti-hypertensive agents.”Apr. 4, 2004

She swallowed the moon whole.
“Why the moon?” he asked.
“Because it lights my darkness.”
“But I love your darkness,” he said.
“Yes, I know,” she replied, glowing.
Like the cords of my headphones,
my heart is tangled in knots.
My fingers fumble
to unravel and untwist.
Why must the knots persist?
With each tug, the knots tighten.
With each twist, more knots appear.
Knots of frustration,
Because I know to untangle,
I must let go of the knots
Mistress of the Realm
I am the one who hangs the moon
and shifts the seas and sand.
I place the stars upon the sky,
they ‘light’ at my command.
I create the ‘other-worlds’
with mountains stretching tall
and deep upon the ocean floor
my mermaids come to call.
I fly upon the dragon’s back
breathing fire through the air
and land beyond my castle moor
~ enter if you dare!
I scatter seeds upon the ground
where forests grow anew.
I stretch and twist ~ distort my world
to suit my point of view.
I strike my wand upon my throne
and cast the tyrants out
one by one or all at once
their bones are tossed about.
And if by chance I have regrets
and wither from my plight
I conjure up a magic spell
and burn the cauldron bright!
I am the mistress of my realm
beyond this earthly sphere
a land of myth and magic
in which I disappear.
I was inspired to write this poem after hearing the words, “I wanted so much for us.” The man saying those words was Albert Einstein as he cried and said goodbye to his two young sons and his wife as they boarded a train for Switzerland. The tears of the children, the wife, and Albert reminded me of a time in my life many years ago; a tearful goodbye.
This poem is for all those who have suffered the loss of a dream, of a future that never was.
I wanted so much for us,
that never came
a long life of love and laughter
that never was
I wanted so much for us,
children and memories made
photographs and scrapbooks
a life like our parents
or the life they portrayed
I wanted so much for us,
to grow old together on the porch
rocking in our chairs
to hold hands
as our eyes and hair turned gray
I wanted so much for us,
to say in those late years
“ah, what a love we’ve shared”
I wanted so much for us,
that never was
and never came
come with me, out to sea
only there can we be free
do not despair, let out your air
float with me, inside the sea
take my hand, for what we stand
in love and loss, this is our cost
swallow deep, the salty sea
drink it up, and sink with me
one last breath, one last look
upon the love, whose life I took
out to sea, forever free
my love and me
Note: I wrote this poem about characters in my first novel. The lovers are trapped in a hurricane on a barrier island in the south.
He was fishing in his green Camo coat and hat, patiently waiting for the fish to bite. He is happiest with a rod and reel in his hand – his form of meditation.
I ventured out on the dock in the wee hours to bring him his “Monster” morning caffeine and sit for a while. And there he was, smiling, happy and content.
I snuck back into the warm cabin to write and found myself watching him through the cabin window. He’s never met a stranger and was shaking hands with his fellow anglers as they joined him for the early morning catch. I could see them all laughing and talking, sharing tall tales of the one that got away.
I found myself watching him in his element… he was happy. In these moments he radiates an energy that is both loving and welcoming. And when I am close enough I can “catch” his energy that radiates love, and joy in the simple life.
I guess I’m fishing too – fishing for that still quiet place in my heart and mind where I can find peace and happiness. And wouldn’t you know it, there it is outside my cabin window on the dock, my happy place, my joy – my husband, with that smile of his that “caught” me over thirty years ago.
Fortunately not all the good ones get away!
A gray wolf howled in my dream last night as he sat at the edge of the dark woods. Then he turned and ran into the forest. I took chase, following him through the woods to a clearing where a fire lit the night sky. Slowly, from above, a familiar chanting began and I looked up as they descended.
Draped in black they swirled and twirled landing to form a circle around the fire.
The Witches of Ravenscroft.
They danced and sang and called for me.
The elder male witch looked at me with knowing eyes, “Where have you been my darling? The night grows short and your magic weak. It’s time to throw kindling on this fire lassie, lest your magic goes up in smoke.”
His message clear, I joined in the dancing and singing. I was home again amongst my creations.
I woke from my dream knowing I must immerse myself in their world and get back to work on my novel! The six witches and the wolf are characters in my book, A Conspiracy of Witches.
Have I mentioned that I’ve fallen in love with one of my characters?
Something must come off my to-do list.
So, my friends, I am taking a break from blogging to go make some magic!
Until we meet again,
…enchanted under the stars,

What do we find when we journey beyond the self? The simple answer, according to Michael Singer, is the ability to see this world through the loving eyes of God. But which God, you may ask.
“How can anyone really know anything about God? We have so many teachings, so many concepts, and so many views about God. But they’ve all been touched by people. Fortunately, deep within us there is a direct communication with the Divine. There is a part of our being that is beyond the personal self.” ~Singer
In his final chapter, The Loving Eyes of God, Singer reveals the journey beyond yourself, untethered from the ego and awakened in Spirit. This is the pinnacle of the spiritual lessons laid out in previous chapters.
Thus far we’ve learned:
- We are not the voices in our head. We are the one inside, the observer, the witness, listening to our thoughts and looking out at the world.
- It is important to live with an open, spiritual heart and not let anything close our heart off from the world.
- We must let go of pain and disturbances that block our energy and keep us from moving forward. This doesn’t mean we don’t feel the pain, but we don’t hold on to it, we release it.
- What we resist, persists. Stop fighting with the world.
- We can’t control people or events, but we can control our reaction. And then, if action is needed, we take action from a place of awareness.
- That our judgment of others is a reflection of ourselves and a powerful spiritual teacher.
- Our happiness is an inside job. If we want to be happy and peaceful we must let go of the part of us that wants to create drama. The path to happiness is paved with gratitude.
- A more peaceful life can be found by following the middle path and not allowing our emotions to swing out to the extremes.
- We control where we choose to focus our energy.
- A daily meditation practice strengthens our mindfulness muscle allowing us to stay focused and centered, peaceful and calm.
All of these lessons, if practiced, can lead us to a more awakened state and allow us to see the world through the loving eyes of God. Michael Singer explains it this way:
“What happens to one who walks this path toward God? What transformations do they go through along the way? To understand this, imagine what would happen if you started feeling tremendous love for all creatures, for every plant, animal and of all the beauties of nature. Imagine if every child seemed like your own, and every person you saw looked like a beautiful flower, with its own color, its own expressions, shape, and sounds. As you went deeper and deeper, you would start noticing a phenomenal thing ~ you are no longer judging. If that happened you’d get a glimpse of God.” ~Singer
So ask yourself, “Can I see the beauty in my fellow human being and feel compassion?” If you’re not there yet, that’s okay. Awareness is the first step toward awakening. For most of us, the shift from Ego to Spirit is a process. But if you’ve been reading these posts you’re already walking a spiritual path and your eyes are open. You’re no longer sleepwalking through life.
Although we’ve come to the end of our journey through The Untethered Soul, if you’d like to learn more about walking the spiritual path, I recommend Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth, Awakening to your Life’s Purpose.
“You are the universe becoming conscious of itself.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
Another great resource that combines science and spirituality is the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). Their website can be found here.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. May your heart and mind remain open and your days be filled with love, gratitude, and compassion. I wish you safe travels and much love on your spiritual path.
Yours under the stars,

Do you ever feel out of balance, off kilter, in need of centering? Is your energy negative and destructive?
There is a way to live a more peaceful life. The path to a more productive and peaceful life is not a secret, it’s outlined in ancient text as part of the wisdom traditions. In this post, we will explore that ancient text in Michael Singer’s chapter, The Secrets of the Middle Way. Here Singer introduces us to the Tao Te Ching, known as “The Book of The Way”, written by Lao Tzu in the 6th century.
“The Tao is so subtle that one can only walk around its edges, but never actually touch it. In that treaties, the very basis for the principles of all life is laid down. It is a treatise on the balance of the yin and the yang, the feminine and the masculine, the dark and the light. You could easily read the Tao Te Ching and never understand a single word, or you could read it and tears could pour from your eyes with every word you read.” ~ Singer
My first experience reading the Tao over twenty years ago was the former – I couldn’t make sense of it. I was a spiritual newbie, but some ten years later I read it again and had the latter experience of tears and goosebumps as every word came to life for me in a way that opened my eyes.
The middle way is a philosophy also shared by Buddhist, who follow the middle path of wisdom by following the noble eightfold path. Similarly, the Tao points us toward the middle way, toward balance, by reminding us not to push against life.
“It’s the place where there is no energy pushing in either direction. The pendulum has been permitted to come to balance concerning food, relationships, sex, money, doing, non-doing, and everything else. Everything has its yin and yang.” ~ Singer
At this point, you may be thinking that the middle way or middle path is static, without momentum or energy. Nothing could be further from the truth, because once you stop wasting your energy fighting and resisting life out there on the extremes, you will find you have enormous amounts of energy to solve problems, get work done and move forward.
Even the Buddhists are clear on this matter, the middle path is a place of investigation, seeking knowledge, wisdom, and truth. It is not a passive existence. The middle path is filled with curiosity, excitement, analysis and exploration. Focusing your energies on the middle path ensures a life of adventure! When the yin and yang are in balance, there is enormous power and energy available to you. But you might be wondering how to stop swinging to the extremes.
“The Way is in the middle because that’s the place where the energies are balanced. But how do you stop the pendulum from swinging to the outer edges? Amazingly enough, you do this by leaving it alone. It won’t keep swinging to the extremes unless you feed the extremes with energy. Just let the extremes go. Don’t participate in them, and the pendulum will naturally come toward the center.” ~ Singer
On the other hand, Singer does acknowledge that the extremes can be good teachers. If we can get perspective and look at a situation objectively (often this takes hindsight) we can see where we went off the rails, swinging to the extreme. We can also see how much emotional energy was consumed by living on the extreme edge.
So what does not participating in the extremes look like? For me, lately, it’s been limiting my social media experiences and even the news. I engage just enough to stay informed and then turn it all off and go for a walk, work in my winter garden, make a pot of beef stew, or write a blog about how to stay centered. LOL.
But seriously, try applying this principle of balance and centering to your daily routine. Limit your exposure to negativity as best you can. Make time for yourself and those activities that fill your soul. It is winter, after all, a time of rest and restoration.
And remember, although you can’t control external events, you can control how you choose to respond. Focus some of that energy inward and take care of yourself!
Do you think it’s possible to live your life free of stress, problems, fear, and melodrama? Michael Singer tells us that a peaceful life is possible if we stop resisting life’s events. In his chapter entitled, The Spiritual Path of Nonresistance, Singer warns that resistance is a tremendous waste of energy.
“The fact is, you’re generally using your will to resist one of two things: that which has already happened or that which hasn’t happened yet. It is not life’s events that are causing problems or stress. It is your resistance to life’s events that is causing this experience.” ~Singer
He’s right! What’s the point of lamenting over something that’s already happened or wasting time and energy worrying about events that aren’t likely to happen? If there are lessons to be learned from the past or plans to be made for the future, those are best done in the present moment where your true power resides.
But let’s explore this idea of using our “will” to resist life’s events. Singer talks about how we can use our will power, or the Power of the Self, to block our own energy. This happens when we hold onto our thoughts and emotions instead of letting them pass through us.
“Stress only happens when you resist life’s events. If you’re neither pushing life away nor pulling it toward you, then you are not creating any resistance. You are simply present.” ~ Singer
We can also use the Power of the Self, to examine what we resist in life. Why do we resist some events and let others pass through without notice? Why do we care what some people think and not others? What offends us and causes us to become defensive? This process requires self-reflection without judgment.
“You will be surprised to find that in most situations there is nothing to deal with except for your own fears and desires.” ~ Singer
If you look deep inside, your fears and desires will reveal themselves, unearthing the seeds of your suffering. The reality is, you have to stop watering the seeds! Through the process of awareness, you can stop the seeds from growing by letting the energy pass through you rather than resisting.
I’m reminded of the Taoist concept, “Wu-wei, effortless effort” which is another way of saying “do nothing and let go”. In Taoist terms, there is a recognition that this world is beyond our control and to live a more peaceful existence we must practice patience and acceptance.
I don’t know that my life will ever be completely free of stress and drama but I take comfort in knowing that the extent of my mental suffering is based on how much energy I give my thoughts and emotions. I may not be able to control the world around me or the people in it, but I can control where I focus my energy.
This week try practicing the art of awareness. Stop and reflect when you find yourself pushing life away or pulling it toward you. Then, let it go. Be patient with yourself and others as you walk the spiritual path of nonresistance.

Aberdeen was reached by rail from the south through what became the Scottish North Eastern Railway in 1850, from Deeside in 1853 running into a station at Guild Street in 1854 and from the North also in 1854 with the Great North of Scotland Railway running into its Waterloo Quay terminus, which was open to passengers for only eleven years but lasted until the 1960s.

There were three proposals to link the North line with the route of Guild Street - a route that would have bypassed the city altogether, the so-called circumbendibus and the alignment eventually adopted from Kittybrewster down the Denburn Valley. By the time the new Joint Station opened on 4 November 1867, the Scottish North Eastern Railway had merged into the Caledonian Railway.
The Tay and Forth Bridges gave Aberdeen a direct link along the East Coast. In the 1890s the GNSR bought the Palace Hotel on the corner of Bridge Street which was destroyed by fire in 1941. They also developed for the rich and famous the remote Cruden Bay Hotel, but - Donald Trump beware - due to haar the season was very short, the branch passenger train service ceased in 1932 and the Hotel did not reopen after the Second World War. The GNSR offices at Aberdeen became the Station Hotel, which alone survives.
The Joint Station now played host to twice-weekly Speyside excursions, but its cramped layout was proving difficult to operate - and following complaints also about undesirables and about water pouring from fishboxes, it was rebuilt with scant regard for health and safety from 1912 with a new roof and a ticket office for the Suburban platforms which now houses a hairdresser. Completed in 1915, the new Joint Station was one of the last built by the pregrouping companies.
The 1930s saw acceleration of the Kings Cross expresses, but the worn-out Subbie trains to Culter and Dyce were withdrawn in 1937, unable to compete with road competition, and the closed station at Schoolhill became a cafe and bus terminal. By this time railway buses were competing with trains, with a bus hourly to Banchory but only three trains a day to Ballater in the 1950s, and Fraserburgh/Peterhead saw only four or five trains a day that joined and split at Maud Junction.
After a resurgence with modern traction, the Deeside line closed in 1966, a year after the Buchan lines, and the surviving route north to Keith was reduced to single track.. Steam ended in 1967, when the Strathmore route to Glasgow also went, and the Kittybrewster freight yard which had seen 20 trains a day gave way to retail units.

The north end of the Joint Station was cleared in 1970/1 to make way for Atholl House. Resignalling in the early 1980s saw a new signalling centre replace the GNSR box at Aberdeen North, the very narrow Aberdeen Centre box on Platforms 7/8, Ferryhill Junction, Craiginches North and South. Dyce Station reopened in 1984, and the 1980s also saw removal of ticket barriers in favour of the open station concept that placed great faith in the honesty of all passengers. The traditional departure-board and bookstall also lasted until this time. High Speed Trains took over the daytime service to London, and their depot at Clayhills survives surprisingly without any effort by developers to cover it up.
In 1992 Lord Provost Wyness unveiled a plaque to mark the Joint Station's 125th anniversary. An electronic departure-board was replaced by hard-to-read television screens, and the Denburn became home to a dual carriageway alongside the surviving single-track line, but the GNSR war memorial found a home by the new Travel Centre.
Demolition of the former Caledonian Railway goods shed in 2002 presaged the Union Square development which is now seeing new railfreight facilities being developed at Raiths Farm and Craiginches to replace the Guild Street yard so that it can become shops, a cinema, flats and a new bus station.
In this its 140th year the Joint Station has acquired automatic ticket gates and has enjoyed its best-ever but temporary car parking, soon to be replaced by provision at the South College Street multi-storey. Red structures put up seemingly to protect buildings have instead been themselves demolished, but the colour of a new lift to Platform 7 nicely blends in with the rest of the station. Things in the privatised railway have turned full circle as First ScotRail replaced National Express ScotRail and GNER has launched its Mallard refurbished HST months before the operator hands over to National Express East Coast, just as Virgin gives way to Arriva CrossCountry. The Waterloo branch is due for a revival with mud deliveries for the oil industry joining slurry traffic, but only time will tell as to the oft-forecast return of the Subbies as the Aberdeen CrossRail.

Having another chance with you, is like seeing a falling star.
It's hard to believe you'll ever see one, I never want us to be apart.
I know you can feel it too, as I see the spark in your eyes.
There's magic between us, I hope that our love never dies.
What we have is made of gold, & I'll treasure it forever.
A long life with you, I can't imagine anything better.
I don't need three wishes, I just need one.
For you to complete me, so this puzzle is done.
This scar says, 'I'm yours' It's like a tattoo.
A symbol of our history, I'm bound only to you.
People say to grab time, because it always flies.
But these years away from you, have been the longest of my life.

By now, Samsung’s early devotion to Microsoft’s upcoming mobile Operating System, Windows Phone 7, is pretty apparent. This time around, we’ve got the Omnia 7 posing for a photo, showcasing the calendar view within Windows Phone 7. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of information on the device in question, and there are some people who believe that it could be the Samsung GT-i8700 that recently broke cover, posing for another round of photos.
However, upon closer inspection of this device, reportedly known as the Omnia 7 (the Omnia series is only at “2” at the moment, but it looks like Samsung is making an exception for the launch of WP7), looks a bit different than the i8700 that broke cover not too long ago. This new device has a curved top, and the display seems to be wider than the one we saw on the i8700. The buttons below the display, the Windows key, Back, and Search are the same, but considering the rules set in place by Microsoft, that’s no surprise.
It’s possible that this new handset, caught in some bad lighting, is indeed the GT-i8700, but the subtle differences may indeed mean that this is something else, and Samsung is intending on releasing yet another handset into the wild promoting Windows Phone 7. Below, you’ll find the image of the i8700, so you can compare the two, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Last Wednesday, surrounded by terminally ill patients and their families, President Trump signed a bill allowing people with terminal illnesses for which traditional medicines and procedures have not helped to have smoother access to experimental medical treatments not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dubbed the “Right to Try” law, a play on the name of the movement that advocates for doctor-assisted suicide, or “the right to die,” the new law aims to accomplish that effort’s opposite: lengthening the lives of those facing fatal illnesses.
What it does is allow such people to seek access directly from drug manufacturers to experimental medicines that are in clinical trials but have not yet been fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Until now, in fact since the 1970s, a program known as “compassionate use,” or “expanded access,” has allowed patients with serious diseases or conditions to obtain experimental medicines through the FDA. And the agency says it authorizes 99 percent of the requests for expanded access that it receives. According to FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, in comments last year, “Emergency requests for individual patients are usually granted immediately over the phone and non-emergency requests are generally processed within a few days.”
More than three dozen states, moreover, already have laws allowing patients and doctors to ask drug companies directly for access to the experimental drugs, rather than wait for approval by the agency. New York and New Jersey are not among them, though, and the new federal law expands the “right-to-try” option nationally.
Most Congressional Democrats and an assortment of public health groups opposed the law when it was being considered in the House and Senate, arguing that it offers “false hope” to terminally ill patients, and could put them in danger. But few hopes can ever be judged as false, and the new law only permits access to drugs that have been deemed safe in what is known as Phase One of the FDA approval process. The drugs at issue are already in the “human trial” phase of testing but just haven’t cleared the substantial hurdles needed to ascertain that they will yield true benefits to patients.
The more daunting issue concerns who will pay for such experimental drugs. Insurance companies, many of which don’t even cover some FDA-approved drugs, are not likely to cover treatments that have not been deemed effective by the FDA, and new drugs are often prohibitively expensive.
As Arthur Caplan, head of medical ethics at New York University’s School of Medicine, observed, “The law gives the right to pay, not the right to try.”
Medical costs, in fact, are already the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. Under “right to try,” a patient could end up paying additional hundreds of thousands of dollars for experimental treatment, on top of their existing costs.
The hope, though — and it is not a false one — is that the drug companies will make requested drugs available at affordable prices, something that could turn out to be to their financial advantage should an experimental drug prove effective in a large number of right-to-try cases, which could fast-track full FDA testing and lead to the agency’s quicker approval of the medicine.
Over time, this law has the potential to save “thousands and thousands” of lives, as President Trump stated at the bill’s signing. The right-to-try movement and the attention that Mr. Trump has drawn to it are undeniably positive steps toward raising patients’ awareness about experimental treatments. Needless to say, care and caution must be exercised by patients and their families, in consultation with their medical professionals, before embarking on an experimental drug regimen.
Fundamentally, though, the new law is designed to expand the choices of patients, and to limit the need for a federal body’s regulatory approval. Federal agencies can play an important role in protecting the public, no doubt. But they can also be impediments to the citizenry’s rights to make choices about their lives. What the “right to try” law permits does not endanger patients, and may well lead to longer lives for at least some patients.
The bottom line is that drugs that have already been deemed sufficiently safe by the FDA for use in trials on humans will now be more easily accessible to Americans. And allowing citizens to make the choice, if they deem it a right one, to try a new medical therapy is a simple matter of freedom, and a most welcome development.

Why Premier League could reject the Saudi Media Group: According to CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs, a private group led by Mohamed Alkhereiji from the Saudi Media Group has made a £2.7 billion offer to acquire Chelsea.
Alkhereiji is the CEO of Saudi Media’s parent firm, Engineering Holding Group, which was founded by his father Abdulelah. He is a Chelsea supporter, according to reports.
According to Jacobs, the offer has no direct ties to the Saudi Arabian government.
Because the Saudi Arabian Private Investment Fund currently owns 80% of Newcastle United, this will be crucial.
Mohammed bin Khalid Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, has aided Alkhereiji in finding finance and a partner, according to Jacobs, but he does not give any financial support.
The Saudi Media group is also sure that they are not “politically sensitive,” as Goal recently reported because their organization is made up of private investors.
So far, it appears promising, but proving that there is no connection to the Saudi Arabian government might be difficult.
If the proposal is accepted, Jacobs stated that “there is a feeling” that Turki Al-Sheikh, an adviser at the Saudi Arabian court, will be involved.
This assertion is still being refuted, but the journalist stressed that a name like this will raise doubts about the Saudi Arabian government’s possible involvement.
Al-Sheikh is a well-known figure in Saudi Arabian football, having served as chairman of the Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation in the past. In addition, he is the owner and chairman of UD Almeria, a team that competes in Spain’s second tier.
Why Premier League could reject the Saudi Media Group – Jacob
So far, Alkhereiji is the only name cited in any stories about the Saudi Media Group’s Chelsea offer, and it’s unknown how many people are part of the rumored consortium.
Jacobs also feels that if the Saudi Media Group is chosen as the preferred bidder, the selling process would take longer.

Fortnite Battle Royale news
Fortnite Battle Royale custom matchmaking appears to be in testing on PS4 and Xbox One.
As the name suggests, Fortnite Custom Matches give players more control over the rules and options of the game.
It also stops people being dropped into random lobbies, and gives them more power over who they play against.
The Custom matchmaking button started appearing after the recent launch of the new Fortnite update.
The new feature currently is currently only available with a custom matchmaking key, and isn't available to the wider public.
At the time of writing, only higher-profile Fortnite players are able to test the new Battle Royale feature.
The last time Epic Games opened up custom matchmaking was during the Dreamhack event in December 2017.
The feature was disabled following the end of the event.
Fortnite Battle Royale fans are worried that the game is about to close down for good.
Rumours have surfaced that Fortnite Battle Royale is shutting down on May 24.
As Twinfinite points out, the rumours started when a screengrab of an alleged tweet from the official Fortnite account started doing the rounds online.
The post reads: "Due to the law suit against PubG on copyright infringement. We are sorry to inform you that Fortnite Battle Royale Will be coming to an end May 24, 2018.
"Save the world will still be in development and we will roll out ASAP. Thank you all for the support."
Fortunately for Fortnite fans, the tweet appears to be nothing more than a hoax.
In addition to grammatical errors, the tweet is nowhere to be found on the official Fortnite page.
Express Online has contacted Epic Games for an official statement, but you needn't worry about Fortnite Battle Royale going away any time soon.
Recently leaked Fortnite skins have been released in full on PS4, Xbox One, PC and iOS.
The new Fortnite skins were originally discovered following the release of update 3.5.
The skins are now available to purchase, but only if you're willing to shell out V-Bucks.
This includes the Leviathan Legendary skin, which costs around 2,000 V-Bucks.
Epic Games announced the news of the new skin going live on Twitter, writing: “Don't get caught singing the blues... dodge the lodge and win with your crew.
“The Leviathan Outfit has landed. Get it now!”
Elsewhere, the Planetary Probe glider is available to purchase for 1,200 V-Bucks.

1. Why do you play (video game name)? Do you use it sometimes as an escape from reality?
Any game I play is for mainly recreation. Sometimes it gets used not necessarily as an escape, but as a relaxant. Something to just unwind from life with, and get lost in fantasy for a while. Lets me reset my worries.
2. Do you feel like you have more freedom to do what you want inside the game or inside real life? Why?
Both. The game has very specific limits as to what can be done, but within those limits I take as many freedoms as possible. If something can be done in the game, I'll give it a try usually at least once, just to see how it all works out. Life has less defined boundaries though, and those boundaries are frequently different from whats found in the game. There are consequences for PVP'ing IRL, lol.
3. Do you have more confidence in your abilities do things in game or in life?
Equal. I know what I'm good at and what I'm bad at in general, in and outside the game.
4. Do you feel that by playing (video game name), it has increased your overall happiness in real life?
Temporarily, at least. At least one day I'll be able to tell my kids that I was part of the group that was there for the start of the whole deal.
5. What would it take to make you stop playing (video game name)?
I'll always find something to recreate with, if its online computer games, or tabletop paper, pencil, and dice games. It's just too ingrained in me to just up and quit, at least for quite a while.
6. How much time have you spent on this game(estimate or exact)?
On Warcraft, I started a couple months after release and played off and on all through Wrath. I've spent far more time on D2, and a fair number of other MMO's, as well as single player games, and the old D&D (and a few other systems that are similar)

Chapter 2. Memory Addressing
This chapter deals with addressing techniques. Luckily, an operating system is not forced to keep track of physical memory all by itself; today’s microprocessors include several hardware circuits to make memory management both more efficient and more robust in case of programming errors.
As in the rest of this book, we offer details in this chapter on how 80 × 86 microprocessors address memory chips and how Linux uses the available addressing circuits. You will find, we hope, that when you learn the implementation details on Linux’s most popular platform you will better understand both the general theory of paging and how to research the implementation on other platforms.
This is the first of three chapters related to memory management; Chapter 7 discusses how the kernel allocates main memory to itself, while Chapter 8 considers how linear addresses are assigned to processes.
Programmers casually refer to a memory address as the way to access the contents of a memory cell. But when dealing with 80 × 86 microprocessors, we have to distinguish three kinds of addresses:
- Logical address
Included in the machine language instructions to specify the address of an operand or of an instruction. This type of address embodies the well-known 80 × 86 segmented architecture that forces MS-DOS and Windows programmers to divide their programs into segments. Each logical address consists of a segment and an offset (or displacement ) that denotes ...

Reading has always been a big part of my life, but there are a few books that stand out as life changing for me, at least ones I'd put into this category from the last few years. Maybe they're just what you need to read, too?
- A Praying Life by Paul Miller. This is a simple introduction to prayer, written in easy and approachable language. It laid the groundwork for prayer in my life, helping me understand why it mattered and what it could look like in my everyday. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to jumpstart a deeper prayer life.
- Prayer by Tim Keller-- This is similar to the book above, but headier and more in depth. It took me a while to read (I took notes on every page!), and has become a book I've gone back to reference many times. It helped me tie together Bible reading, meditation, prayer, etc. instead of trying to make those spiritual disciplines stand-alone acts. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to deepen their time with the Lord.
- None Like Him by Jen Wilkin. This book highlights ten characteristics of God that we should focus on and praise Him for. It reminded me that I am not to be the main focus of my life, God is. And He is worthy of all my worship! It also helped me sort out body image issues and the place social media plays in my non omni-present life. I just re-read this with a small group of women and loved it all over again. It's a wonderful book to read and discuss with others. Try it!
- Likewise, Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin. If you'd like to read your Bible more but have no idea where to start or what you're doing, this book is for you. She walks through how we should study scripture in a humble, approachable way. I learned so much and have used many of her methods time and time again.
- The Lifegiving Home, by Sally Clarkson... and basically anything else she's written. Now a mother of four adult children, she shares the wisdom she uses (or learned) during her years of mothering younger children. All of her books have helped me become an intentional homemaker and mother. I'm grateful for her mentorship!
- Parenting by Paul Tripp. This book's tagline is "14 Gospel principles that can radically change your family" and it absolutely held true in my life. This book completely altered the way I view parenting, discipline, and the children God has blessed us with. I think every Christian parent should read it!
- Kisses from Katie, by Katie Davis (and her sequel book, too!) God used this book to soften my heart towards adoption-- something our family has now done three times-- and to show me that we can live our lives fully for him no matter where we're located. She's a beautiful example of a Godly woman in this day and age. I can't wait to hug her neck in Heaven one day!
- Okay I couldn't narrow down this last one. Just about every Christian biography I've read has become a favorite. I think reading about the faithful men and women who have gone before us is so encouraging and helpful-- here'sa post with some of my favorites!

From a turnip seed: Farm to school grant connects kids to veggies
The Nutrition and Food Services office within Leon County Schools was awarded a grant from the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services' Florida Farm to School Initiative for the 2018-2019 school year. With these funds, we were able to supply 10 elementary schools with school garden kits, and to serve our My "Fresh from Florida" Plate Day on Dec. 13, 2018, in all Leon County schools.
Schools were able to apply for school garden kits valued at around $540 each. The kits included 2 raised beds, watering cans, hand cultivators, hand trowels, soil, compost, pruning shears, frost cloths, and up to 9 different kinds of seeds and seedlings appropriate for a fall garden.
We had a lot of interest — receiving 22 applications. Awarded schools plan to share their harvests with their students, parents, cafeterias, and food banks. Approximately 4,000 students will be able to learn from these gardens. The school gardens will be incorporated into various curriculum during and after school.
All 10 schools have been able to assemble their beds and plant seeds and seedlings. They planted turnips, carrots, lettuce, radishes, mustards, collards, Swiss chard, kale, and strawberries. Hurricane Michael and a delay in receiving all needed materials provided some challenges, but the schools are confident that they will be able to harvest some produce before the holidays.
The Hartsfield Elementary School Garden Club students each tend their own garden plot, have heard presentations from the UF/IFAS Leon County Extension office and received help from the Compost Community (www.compostcommunity.org) and Florida State University. They hope to start a garden blog soon.
Third-grade students at Riley Elementary School are combining their garden with science, learning how plants make food and help us build strong bodies and minds.
This semester’s My Fresh from Florida Plate Day featured shrimp from Water Street Seafood in Apalachicola for the middle and high schoolers, white rice from Sem-Chi Rice Products in Atlantic, milk and yogurt from M&B Products in Tampa, satsumas from Florida Georgia Citrus in Monticello, creamed corn from New North Florida Cooperative in Marianna, cucumbers from Voyager Farms in Balm, and strawberries from Goodson Farms in Balm.
As part of the My Fresh from Florida Plate Day, we hosted an event at Sealey Elementary School where farmers came and talked with students during the lunch about the items the farmers grow.
Each student also received three farmer trading cards with their meal which gave background information about each of the local items on their tray. With multiple trading cards available, students could swap for their favorite foods or farmers.
We are thankful to the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services for our Farm to School grant that allows us to provide students in Leon County schools with local foods they can grow, eat, and enjoy.
