Clavis Arcana Magica. With an Introduction by Alan Thorogood (New)
by Hockley, Frederick
Publisher: Teitan Press, Inc.
Book ID: 9780933429291, 0933429290
Please inquire for availability
The full text of a previously-unpublished manuscript by Frederick Hockley (1809-1885), an occultist and Freemason, whose interests included scrying, ritual magic, alchemy and spiritualism. In later life Hockley joined the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and other esoteric fraternities, and his work was posthumously used by various members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and his importance to nineteenth-century occultism is only now being recognised.
The Clavis Arcana Magica is an unusual text for Hockley in that it is concerned with what might be considered "black magic." As Alan Thorogood describes in his Introduction, it gives instruction for the performance of a number of magical workings, the details of which were said to have been obtained for Hockley via his seer Emma, during a series of scrying operations undertaken between 1853 and 1856. The workings are preceded by instructions including the form of the "call to the crystal," the exorcism and the discharge. The first working outlines a method to call the spirits of five material substances or organisms for the purpose of receiving cognate visions, the second is a variety of praestigia for the revivification of animal as well as plant species, the third outlines the construction of a talisman which permits the operator to enter the "spirit state" while asleep, and the fourth is necromantic ritual "of marvellous power and force." This first edition comprises an Introduction by Alan Thorogood, followed by a typeset transcription of the text of the manuscript, with explanatory footnotes, etc., and a facsimile of the original Hockley manuscript.
Small Quarto. xii + [84pp]. Bound in high quality black cloth, with a gilt design after Hockley stamped on the front cover, blind rules, and gilt title etc. on the spine. Black moire "coffin silk" endpapers, sewn. Colour frontis. No dust jacket issued. Edition limited to 650 numbered copies.
Deconstructing Gurdjieff: Biography of a Spiritual Magician
Inner Traditions / Bear & Company
In November 1949, architect Frank Lloyd Wright announced the death of "the greatest man in the world," yet few knew who he was talking about. Enigmatic, misunderstood, declared a charlatan, and recently dubbed "the Rasputin who inspired Mary Poppins," Gurdjieff's life has become a legend. But who really was George Ivanovich Gurdjieff?
Employing the latest research and discoveries, including previously unpublished reminiscences of the real man, Tobias Churton investigates the truth beneath th...
Grimoire of the Baron Citadel: The Book of the Four Ways.
Three Hands Press
As the governor of the Dead and the burial ground, the Baron Samedi is one of the most distinctive and potent loa of Haitian Vodou. An imposing figure in black raiment, he is most often pictured as a corpse. His other magical domains, less discussed in esoteric literature, include disruption, obscenity and -- importantly for the practicing sorcerer -- not only the arts of Magic but the very fabric of which it is made.
Emergent from the spiritual crossroads of traditional Vodou and English w...

Hosting a party can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to feeding a large group of people. One easy and delicious option is to create a pasta bar. Not only is it customizable for each guest, but it also allows them to mingle and socialize while creating their own dish. Here are some tips and tricks for creating a pasta bar that will be a hit at your next party.
1. Choose Your Pasta
When selecting your pasta, it’s important to choose a variety of shapes and sizes. This will not only add visual interest to the bar but will also give guests different options for their dish. Some popular choices include penne, spaghetti, and farfalle.
2. Offer A Variety Of Sauces
Along with your pasta, you’ll want to provide a variety of sauces to choose from. Some popular options include marinara, alfredo, and pesto. Don’t forget to label each sauce so guests know what they are selecting.
3. Don’t Forget The Toppings
Toppings are a great way to elevate the pasta bar experience. Some popular options include grated cheese, fresh herbs, and chopped vegetables. Consider including some protein options as well, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.
4. Provide Different Cooking Options
Not everyone likes their pasta cooked the same way. Providing different cooking options, such as al dente or well-done, will ensure that each guest gets their pasta cooked to their liking.
5. Keep It Warm
Keeping the pasta warm is essential for a successful pasta bar. Consider using chafing dishes or warming trays to keep the pasta and sauces at the perfect temperature throughout the party.
6. Offer Gluten-Free Options
It’s important to consider any dietary restrictions when hosting a party. Offering gluten-free pasta and sauce options will ensure that all guests can enjoy the pasta bar.
7. Provide Ample Serving Utensils
With so many options to choose from, guests will need plenty of serving utensils. Be sure to provide a variety of spoons and tongs to make it easy for guests to create their dish.
8. Label Everything
In addition to labeling the sauces, be sure to label all of the toppings as well. This will not only help guests navigate the bar but will also prevent any confusion or mix-ups.
9. Don’t Forget The Bread
Offering bread or garlic knots is a great way to round out the pasta bar experience. It’s also a great way for guests to soak up any leftover sauce!
10. Have Fun!
Finally, remember that the pasta bar is meant to be a fun and interactive experience. Don’t stress too much about making everything perfect and instead focus on enjoying the party with your guests.
1. Can I make the pasta ahead of time?
Yes, you can cook the pasta ahead of time and keep it warm in the chafing dishes or warming trays.
2. How much pasta should I make?
A good rule of thumb is to make about 1 pound of pasta per every 4 guests.
3. Can I use store-bought sauces?
Yes, store-bought sauces are a great option for a pasta bar. Just be sure to transfer them to serving dishes and label them accordingly.
4. What if a guest has a food allergy?
Be sure to ask guests ahead of time if they have any food allergies or dietary restrictions. You can then provide options that they can safely enjoy.
5. How long can the pasta and sauces be kept warm?
Pasta and sauces can be kept warm in chafing dishes or warming trays for up to 2 hours.
6. Can I offer more than one type of pasta?
Yes, offering a variety of pasta shapes and sizes is a great way to add visual interest to the pasta bar.
7. Should I provide plates and utensils?
Yes, be sure to provide plates, utensils, and napkins for your guests so they can easily enjoy their pasta creation.
8. Can I offer desserts as well?
Yes, offering desserts such as cookies or brownies is a great way to round out the meal.
Overall, a pasta bar is a fun and delicious option for any party. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a memorable experience that your guests will love.
– Customizable for each guest
– Allows guests to mingle and socialize while creating their own dish
– Easy to prepare and serve
– Label everything to prevent confusion or mix-ups
– Offer gluten-free options for guests with dietary restrictions
– Keep the pasta and sauces warm throughout the party
In conclusion, a pasta bar is a great way to feed a large group of people while providing a personalized and interactive experience. Follow these tips and tricks for a successful pasta bar that will be a hit at your next party.

It’s not a trick question. But still Elza Satseradze paused for a second before answering.
When it comes to the youth of Tiblisi—and all of the Republic of Georgia for that matter—what is the biggest need?
“Jesus Christ,” Satseradze, 22, said. “Many people here are living in darkness.”
Elza Satseradze is a student at Tbilisi State University, where she’s studying international business. Quite fitting for a person who is fluent in three languages—Georgian, Russian and English.
“Russian is my first language,” said Satseradze, who grew up in Ukraine, before moving to Kutaisi, Georgia, at age 7.
Her command of those three languages, and her love for evangelism, earned her the job of interpreting this weekend’s Festival of Hope (Imedis Festivali) with Franklin Graham from Georgian and English to Russian via headsets.
But that’s not the main reason she’s heading to the event on June 6-8.
Elza Satseradze wants to witness history with her own eyes. In her opinion this will be “the first huge event” the evangelical churches have ever accomplished together in Georgia.
“[People from Georgia] believe that if you are Georgian, you should be Orthodox,” said Satseradze of the country where more than 90 percent claim Orthodox religion. “It’s very hard for people to believe that there could be something else.”
So, more than anything, that’s her prayer this weekend: “That [evangelicals] won’t be known as just a sect, but they will be more accepted,” she said. “Personally, I hope they realize that [Christianity] is not something small, that it’s something worldwide and not to be afraid of.”
And with 150 churches banding together nationwide, virtually every evangelical church in Georgia, it’s becoming obvious this Festival is bigger than most people could have imagined. Viktor Hamm, the vice president of Crusades at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is calling this kind of participation “absolutely unprecedented.”
Perhaps the biggest sign is the 500-member choir assembled, believed to be the biggest in Georgia’s evangelical history.
“All the preparation has really united all the churches,” Satseradze said. “They have one big goal—Jesus Christ.”
Some of the biggest events uniting churches were the youth leaders conference in February, which drew 420 people including at least two representatives from each region in Georgia, and the tree-planting event the last week of May.
One tree from each involved church—150 altogether—were planted to make up the Alley of Hope, a symbol of unity and growth in the evangelical church movement.
“In Georgia, we have a saying: ‘A man should build a house, get a wife and plant a tree,’” Satseradze said with a laugh. “But this is to mark that the Festival will live for at least 100 years. And people will ask in the future, ‘What was this Hope Festival?’”
Elza Satseradze may not be around to answer, but she’s confident there will be many who will.

The Royal Enfield Classic 500 Pegasus’ Edition | Manufacture News | News
Produced in collaboration with the British Ministry of Defence, the Classic 500 Pegasus Edition was recently launched at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford in the UK.
The classic 500 Pegasus is a tribute to royal Enfield’s involvement in the second world war and the resilient 125cc motorcycle designed to be deployed behind enemy lines via parachutes and onboard the Horsa Glider aircraft to provide communications support and quick mobility for the forward units of the Airborne Pegasus Regiment.
It is evident throughout the styling of the classic 500 Pegasus that it is tribute with its rustic army green paint and retro seating style. The Pegasus’ edition will come with the 499cc single cylinder fuel injected engine that comes with the standard classic 500.
Only 100 units of the Pegasus will be build and will come in either Green or Service Brown. The Classic 500 Pegasus Edition is expected to be available in Australia and New Zealand in July 2018.

Is it ever appropriate to wear a bra with a skirt for a day of shopping in NYC? Rihanna thinks so. The singer was spotted shopping and smelling the flowers in SoHo in a very questionable ‘outfit’ – if you can even call it that. She wore a pink American Apparel Stretch Floral Lace Ruched Front Tube Bra paired with a pink Pleated Dip Back Skirt from Topshop, and accessorized with a body chain, yellow talon nails, a black Celine Nano Luggage Tote bag, sunglasses and black hi-top Converse Chuck Taylors. Later, she did cover up slightly with a grey sweater but still the sheer bra peeked through. No modesty here.
What do you think of her look? Haute or not?

Evidence suggests that interdisciplinary care leads to improvements in patient care and efficiency. To determine whether integrating inpatient hospital behavioral health services would result in improved perceptions of patient care and efficiency, team members (N = 23) were surveyed 1 year after integration on measures of patient care, efficiency, and personal satisfaction. A majority of respondents believed integration improved patient care and efficiency. Overall satisfaction was high. The results suggest integration of behavioral health services improves individual perceptions of patient care, efficiency, and satisfaction.

The voter turnout in the 2018 Ekiti governorship election was 44.6%, a decline of five percent from the 50.3% voter turnout of 2014.
However in terms of absolute numbers, the voters who came out to vote were more this time than the last time. The reason for the decline in turnout is because there are far more registered voters this time than in 2014.
In 2014, Ekiti had 733,776 registered voters. That number increased to 909,585 registered voters in 2018.
INEC has declared the APC’s Kayode Fayemi as the winner of the election and governor-elect. He defeated his closest challenger, the PDP’s Kolapo Olusola, winning in 12 out of 16 local government areas. Fayemi got 53% of the votes, while Olusola got 47%.

Two tsunami watches issued for the Indian Ocean following a powerful earthquake off the Indonesian coast have been lifted for most of the region, The Associated Press reported.
There were no signs of deadly waves or serious damage, despite the 8.6-magnitude quake and a subsequent 8.2 aftershock.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 20 miles beneath the ocean floor and about 269 miles from Aceh's provincial capital in Indonesia. The quake was originally reported as 8.9, then lowered to 8.7 and again to 8.6.
A 9.1-magnitude quake in December of 2004 triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people. Experts said the quakes this time were different from the one in 2004, and therefore much less likely to produce a tsunami.


The Liberal government has a closely guarded plan to wring as much money out of its public assets as possible — $3.15 billion to be exact — but Finance Minister Charles Sousa refuses to say what the government is up to.
Rather than say what the future is for Crown corporations, such as the LCBO, Ontario Power Generation and Hydro One, Sousa says all will be revealed when a panel led by TD Bank Group CEO Ed Clark reports back on how to maximize revenue from provincially-owned assets.
“They have the authority to look (at) and review specifically some of our Crown corporations and some of our asset holdings to make sure we are optimizing the value to our taxpayer . . . and we also want to ensure that the public interest is protected throughout this process,” he told reporters at Queen’s Park.
Sousa will say only that the province has no intention of selling off Crown corporations, not wanting to repeat the mistakes made when the former Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris sold the rights to operate toll-Highway 407 for 99 years for $3.1 billion without public consultation just prior to the 1999 provincial election.
“That issue with the 407 is costing taxpayers about $1 billion in lost revenues every year,” he said.
Sousa said the province makes money off the LCBO, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., Hydro One and the OPG but “other jurisdictions, like the U.K. and Australia . . . have been able to nurture even greater value from those corporations . . . We want to do the same for the benefit of the taxpayers.”
Sousa would only say the government intends to sell off shares in General Motors, valued at more than a billion dollars, and provincially-owned properties. Ontario still holds 36.7 million GM common shares from its decision to help bail out the struggling automaker during the recession.
“The low-hanging fruit so to speak are the shares that we own, the real estate that we have, things that are not as productive as it can be,” he said.
Interim Tory Leader Jim Wilson said optimizing and maximizing are “code words for bodies out the door.”
“The number one formula for efficiencies are salaries and wages. So if I was an LCBO employee I would be worried about my job,” Wilson said.
“He shouldn’t be using these code words. He should be honest with the people of Ontario and with these employees whose jobs are on the line and tell them what he is up to.”
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said the suspected Liberal sell-off plans is “clear as a bell” to her.
“Nobody thinks the Liberals are sneaking anything anywhere. (Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s) plan is based on $3.15 billion coming in the door from the sales of assets. It is clear as a bell in their budget,” she told the legislature Wednesday.
“We know that, in the long term, these kinds of activities, these kinds of sell-offs are a bad thing for the people of Ontario. It sets our province back. It cuts out sources of revenues,” she said.
No date has been set for the Clark panel to present its report to the government.


Using the combination of a single value column and a number column, we can target specific items within an array column in Glide.
Perfectly explained @Robert_Petitto ! (When you speak slowly I understand you very well even though my level of understanding of spoken English is very low ).
So, if I can add my two cents contribution, I would like to say that using this technique it is also possible to obtain an automatic slideshow, but only if the data refresh setting is set to “While editing or using the app” (Pro plan).
In this case a refresh can be obtained every 10 seconds, therefore it becomes very easy to calculate the array index which can self-increment thanks to a trivial Math column [for example: MOD (SECOND (now), CountImages)].
I use this technique for a slideshow in an interactive kiosk where I even get the fadein / fadeout effect by calibrating the CSS duration of the animation to the refresh rate of the data editor.
Superb. Thanks so much for the great tutorial. It’s a really handy trick that opens the door to some nice user experience…
This is awesome, thanks!
Ha! My pleasure.

Imposing elegance on de Vesci Terrace for €2.95m
Stylishly refurbished 1830s house has a granite-faced mews at the back
Imposing and stark, the bright, high-ceilinged rooms of number 3 de Vesci Terrace have been refurbished with elan. For the owners, who divide their time between France and Ireland, no detail has been too much, no feature neglected. The results, from working window shutters to decorative plasterwork, solid oak floors, marble fireplaces and the impressive modernity of a stainless steel kitchen, make for elegant viewing over 4000sq ft (371sq m) of floor space.
In sheltered, leafy privacy on the edge of Monkstown, with a shared, four-acre private park in front, the setting must have looked much as it does now when number 3 was built in the 1830s. Terrace residents have keys to the park opposite, an oasis of grassy walks, venerable trees and tennis courts.
The architect owner’s stylish refurbishment is in no way at odds with a rear, granite-faced mews which has 1,000sq ft of contemporary comfort alongside an integrated garage with ceramic-tiled floor.
The mews is close to the house, albeit with a pleasant, landscaped garden between. Both are for sale with an asking price of €2.95 million.
Though houses on de Vesci Terrace do not often come on the market, two are currently for sale. Number 10, at the end of the terrace, is on offer for €1.65 million. A basement about half the size of No 3 and no mews explain the lower price tag.
The diningroom of number 3, with the feel of a ballroom, cuts a swathe through the ground floor. A front-facing Oriel window throws light on a white marble fireplace, shining oak floor and lavish centre rose. The drawing room, a shorter version of the diningroom with similar fireplace, leads via double doors to a morningroom designed to catch the day’s early sun. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three sharing a large, sumptuously modern bathroom. The main, en suite bedroom has a walk-in dressing room.
A study/office, on the return to the garden-level kitchen, has a window overlooking the mews. The kitchen, with a dining area overlooking the rear patio, has a large steel centre island. There is a fifth bedroom on this level.
The mews’s first-floor living area is open-plan, with rows of velux windows and timber flooring. The impressive garage would readily convert to a second bedroom.

The Arab League urged Arab Israelis to stage a massive turnout in the Jewish state’s legislative elections on Tuesday, in a statement published in Cairo.
“The League calls on Arab citizens of Israel to turn out in droves for the elections so they are represented (in parliament) and can oppose racist laws” that could be voted on in the Knesset, it said.
The Cairo-based pan-Arab body also expressed its concern over the likelihood of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rightwing coalition retaining a strong majority.
It said there were “initial indications” that most seats would go to the far right, who “do not want peace” with the Palestinians, pointing toward Netanyahu’s opposition to evacuating Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories.
Arab Israelis -- Palestinians who stayed on after the creation of Israel in 1948, and their descendants -- make up around one-fifth of Israel’s population.
They “must be represented in that proportion” in the Knesset, the Arab League said.
Arab MPs should “oppose all (laws passing through parliament) that go against international law or against justice and democracy,” it added.
Arab League urges Arab Israelis to vote ‘in droves’


Last week the IMPOWER health team attended the HSJ Commissioning Summit. As ever, the agenda was packed with plenty of new insights to take away and conversations to reflect on. As expected, STPs were a key discussion point, with three key themes emerging:
- STP’s are viewed as a real opportunity for a positive new direction. The Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) were created to help local health economies plug the financial gap, but also as a means to get CCGs, local government and other health providers and stakeholders working together. At the Summit, the speakers were enthusiastic about the potential of STPs to tackle prevention at scale and manage demand. It may take us a while to see the results, but we’re on the right track.
- Changing incentives and behaviours. However, if STPs are going to manage demand across the system, then we need to realign incentives, deploying money across the system that enables the right behaviours (this is currently what IMPOWER is working on with NHS Bromley CCG and the London Borough of Bromley). One speaker highlighted that we need to make the invisible visible (the invisible basically being everything that is not the hospital). We need to ask how community systems can support high risk patients. If we want our citizens to take different pathways into health, then the system needs to support that.
- Plans are not enough. This has to be different for patients. It was clear from the discussions that it’s all well and good having an STP, but they need to enable people and staff to work differently in a way that is genuinely different for patients. We’re currently seeing STP engagement at a strategic level, but the challenge now is to move to implementing. We must engage the workforce and the public if we’re going to see transformational change.
Finally, there was a general acknowledgement that the STP process does not stop once the plans are submitted; they will need to be revisited and revised according to our experiences and learning. The STP process has exposed gaps in the capabilities and governance of our health care system, but it is also a forum in which we can bring key players together and tackle these issues. We just need to seize it.

In this generation of explorers and adventurers, Cebu province’s Oslob is a well-known travel destination. That would be because of the friendship the Oslobanons created with their huge fish friends, the Whale Sharks.
The Whale Sharks of Oslob are also the reason why we decided to travel to the south of Cebu. And we were very happy we did because our stay there helped us uncover a lot more things that Oslob can offer aside from their friendship with the Whale Sharks. I will be very happy to share those things to you through this blog.
Continue reading “Oslob: A Paradise”
Cebu is a paradise. Everything that you wish to find are here; white sand beaches, pristine waterfalls, hot springs, rich aquatic resources, exotic food and culture, smiles, and many many more. I cannot express my happiness that I am living in such a rich province. There is so much to see and explore.
For the long weekend of July, me and my special someone decided to have our very first legit adventure trip together. I decided that we go south of Cebu because I am just very thrilled to see the Whale Sharks in Oslob. Being the type of person who is in a tight budget I urged my companion that we visit four (4) tourist spots in one (1) trip to make our backpacking trip worth it since municipalities in Cebu can easily be visited. We went to Oslob, then Samboan, then Dalaguete for this trip.

Video ads in mobile gaming apps benefit developers and gamers
Vungle gives mobile gamers incentive to watch video ads.
While ads keep mobile gaming apps free, one of the main complaints mobile gamers have with regard to these advertisements is that they pop-up while they are playing and this disrupts the game. However, in-app advertising platform Vungle has created a technique that actually gives gamers incentive to watch the ads.
Vungle delivers ads without interrupting the player’s gaming experience.
The ads that Vungle puts inside a mobile game promote other games or smartphone apps. That said, unlike other traditional forms of in-app advertising that disrupts the game, Vungle provides an opt-in approach that also includes a benefit for the player.
Ville Heijari of Vungle explains that “when we do an opt-in approach, people actually want to see the ads.” He also went on to say that “gamers download the other applications that are being advertised, but they also gain some kind of benefit within the game or app.”
Vungle helps game developers make money from free mobile gaming apps and provides advertisers with a new audience.
The in-app video advertising company is helping developers of mobile games earn money from mobile users who, on average, are not interested in paying for apps. It also provides advertisers with a mobile audience for their ads.
For instance, RGB Express is a puzzle game on the Vungle platform. The games developer, Markus Kaikkonen, says that while the game was launched as a paid app for Apple devices, he decided to offer the Android version of the app for free in December 2014. In order to make money from it, Kaikkonene joined Vungle, which places video ads inside his game that rewards players with a game credit or hint, simply for watching a 15-second ad.
Kaikkonen explained that in the Android version, “the player can use hints to watch the solutions for the problems.” He added that the player can purchase more hints if they desire, but if they want to continue enjoying additions to the game for free, they can watch a Vungle video ad and obtain a hint at no cost.
In order to create space to plug in advertisements for consumer brands, Vungle’s strategy is to build up a customer base and boost overall mobile gaming app usage. Half of the ads Vungle puts into mobile games promotes games and smartphone apps, and the other half of the advertisements on the firm’s platform are paid for by companies like Nokia and Unilever.

“Non-judgment Day Is Near”
The following story is from the Bible. It is about some religious leaders who caught a woman engaged in adultery. At that time, their society had a law that such people should be killed by having stones thrown at them.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:3-11 ESV)
Now, there are some questions we could ask about this story. If Jesus did not condemn her at that time, and he told her not to sin anymore, what would happen if she did sin again? Did Jesus believe she would never sin again, or was he waiting for her to sin so he could condemn or judge her for her actions? Did Jesus have a “three strikes and you’re out” approach to sin? Or, did Jesus represent God when he said, “Neither do I condemn you”? Is God a God of condemnation, or not?
Different societies have different rules about morality, and good and bad, and right and wrong. However, the people in these societies have one thing in common: they all feel guilty and practice self-condemnation. Even if people are not religious, they feel that something is wrong with their inner self.
The book A Course in Miracles teaches that God’s creation made a “detour into fear” when it accepted the idea that it could contradict God’s will, and “sin.” Ever since that moment, God’s creation has been driven mad by the ideas of sin, guilt, and fear. Sin is what God’s creation believes happened in the past, guilt is the “proper” feeling of the sinner in the present, and fear is about the fear of future punishment.
The salvation of the world consists in undoing (or forgiving) the ideas of sin, guilt, and fear. Either God is real or sin is real. They cannot both be real because they contract each other. Either God is all-powerful and all-good, or sin has destroyed God’s will and goodness and God does not exist. If we think of sin as an illusion in a bad dream, then the idea of God can be what remains real. If we see sin as real, then God becomes an illusion.
The book A Course in Miracles teaches that God knows that his creation is still like Himself–holy, guiltless, sinless, and eternal. However, God’s creation has accepted sin as real and is now in a dream-like state and having nightmares of future punishment. God’s creation feels guilty, so it punishes itself and expects God to hand out the final punishment at the end of the world.
The way out of this mess is to realize that God’s will cannot be contradicted in reality, sin does not really exist, and God has no need to condemn His creation at all. God’s creation needs only to forgive or overlook all ideas of sin and accept God’s judgment that His creation is still holy and guiltless. Non-judgment day is getting nearer because the suffering caused by the belief in sin and condemnation is becoming so intense that an alternative way of thinking is being sought. The alternative to self-condemnation is self-forgiveness. When forgiveness of self has been completed, God’s creation will wake up and realize that it is, and has always been, safe in heaven.

The Nigeria Cassava Growers Association (NCGA) says it is targeting the production of additional two million tonnes of cassava for industrial use in the next cropping season.
National President of the association, Mr. Segun Adewumi, disclosed this in an interview, in Abuja, on Thursday.
He said the association had presented a proposal to the Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) to cultivate additional 100,000 hectares for cassava production to meet the target.
Adewumi explained that the large scale production of the produce would assist and boost the local manufacturing of some industrial cassava derivatives.
‘‘We have made a proposal to NIRSAL to aggregate additional 100,000 hectares for cassava production and that will give us an additional two million tonnes of cassava for industrial use in the next cropping season.
‘‘That is our target. Large scale production is a situation where you have about 20 tonnes and above per hectare.
‘‘We have sent the proposal to NIRSAL but we have not received answers,’’ he said.
The national president said that many of the farmers restrained themselves from producing cassava in 2016 as a result of glut experienced after cultivation.
‘‘For many years, cassava farmers have been in glut situation and last year, many people did not plant cassava because of the glut in the produce.
‘‘We will enter into scarcity, if there is no capacity to off-take what we have planted, it will rot again.
‘‘During the cassava bread fund, we were asked to plant cassava in large quantity but by the time the cassava matured, the Bank of Agriculture (BoA) did not release money to the off takers who were supposed to buy from us so, our cassava rotted away.
‘‘We are waiting for the government to roll out its plan for 2018 before we start telling people to go and plant, so that they will not plant and there will be no market,’’ he said.
Adewumi appealed to the government to roll out sustainable programmes that would cover the entire cassava value chain so that when cassava is planted, it would be marketed.
‘‘The government should roll out programmes that will convince the cassava growers that if they plant, they won’t run into the hitch of how to sell it.
‘‘Once the government rolls out her programmes and we see that we are protected; we will align to it to make sure when the farmers produce, they will be able to sell,’’ he said. (NAN)

Re: rookie needs advice on hunting setup
Defintely feel what 2-2.5 pounds feels like before you do it. I have a .243 that is a great shooter, has a 2 pound trigger pull. I had one accidental discharge when coyote hunting and wearing thick winter gloves. Just barely touching the trigger while getting ready to shoot sent a premature round down range, thankfully in a safe direction. Needless to say, if I need to wear gloves, I keep that rifle at home.
Just a thought.......

Tuesday July 23, 2019-An outspoken Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) senator has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of targeting members of the Kalenjin community on his ongoing purge against graft.
Speaking on Monday, Narok Senator, Ledama Ole Kina, said President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government is selective on the war against corruption.
While he supported the arrest of Treasury CS , Henry Rotich and his PS , Kamau Thugge over Sh 19 billion Kimwarer and Arror Dams scandal, the ODM senator said as a country, Kenyans were also waiting for the arrests of Ruaraka land suspects adding that arrests should be justified and non-biased.
Ole Kina was making reference to Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Education PS Belio Kipsang who both have been implicated after being mentioned as persons of interest in the report’s recommendations made by Auditor General Edward Auko following their roles in the Ruaraka land debacle.
Matiangi and Kipsang are still roaming free despite being implicated in the loss of Sh 1.5 billion in Ruaraka land conundrum.

In the early hours of Thursday, May 31, an altercation between a bus driver and a woman in Shillong, Meghalaya snowballed into clashes between the local Khasi tribe and the Sikh community after social media became rife with rumours about the nature of the tension and about a supposed death of the bus driver, although the parties involved reached a verbal compromise. Later in the evening, a mob descended on the streets and began pelting stones after which police personnel stepped in, using teargas shells to disperse rioters.
Curfew was imposed and mobile and internet services were suspended in many parts of the city in order to stop rumours from spreading on social media, which were instrumental in flaring up the clashes. Many rumours were circulated regarding attacks on Gurudwaras, however, they all have been dismissed by the local magistrate. Selling of petrol in loose bottles has also been prohibited in order to stop the use of petrol bombs.
A senior official told The Indian Express,
“Stones were pelted and petrol bombs thrown at policemen who were preventing angry youth of one community from attacking people of another community. Several rounds of tear gas shells were also fired.”
The local Khasi community, including members of Khasi Students Union (KSU), the Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP) and the Hynniewtrep Youth Council, demanded that the government should act against ‘illegal settlers’. A few miscreants also tried to attack residents in Punjabi Lane after which Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sharma assured Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on the safety of Sikh community and on the protection of Gurudwaras.

The mob, however, defied the curfew on Friday night, attacking a few houses after which the police personnel resorted to baton charge and the army was put on standby. After 3 days of standoff, the curfew has been lifted for a few hours in the sensitive areas today.

RACINE ⏤ A planned change to city of Racine winter parking restrictions isn’t taking place.
Instead, the city will continue to enforce the current winter parking restrictions for the 2020-2021 winter season. Those restrictions run from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. during snow emergencies.
The Department of Public Works (DPW) had proposed extending the parking restriction from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 2021 budget.
Officials expected the move to save about $60,000 in overtime costs. They believed it would also give DPW drivers, who sometimes work 12- to 18-hour shifts, the opportunity to get some sleep before continuing snow and ice removal work on a regular day shift.
Because of the budget impact, part of the budget process included the ordinance change. After the budget’s adoption, the city publicized the ordinance change to go into effect starting Dec. 1.
Resident calls cancel new restrictions
However, Mayor Cory Mason’s office immediately got calls from residents asking why the lengthier parking restrictions were in place every day, not just during snow emergencies.
In investigating, officials discovered the Racine Common Council approved the new budget, but not the proposed winter parking ordinance. As a result, the city decided to leave the 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. winter parking restrictions in place.
“To avoid any further confusion, we will not look to change those restrictions for at least the remainder of the winter season,” the mayor added.

The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is increasing throughout the world with high morbidity and mortality. Patients with advanced HF develop profound metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance, cytokine activation and abnormal oxidative metabolism in the failing myocardium. Our previous work has shown accumulation of the toxic lipid intermediates ceramide and diacylglycerol in failing human myocardium and that these toxic lipids induce transcriptional changes, impaired cellular energy metabolism and inhibit insulin signaling. Further, preliminary animal studies revealed accumulation of long-chain ceramides in the failing myocardium. A pro-apoptotic state and enhanced proteolytic protein breakdown known to be associated with toxic lipid intermediates develops in advanced HF. Therefore, accumulation of toxic lipid intermediates such as long-chain ceramides might constitute a key link between altered cellular metabolism and proteolysis leading to impaired function and progressive cardiac remodeling in advanced HF. The central hypothesis of this application is that lipotoxic accumulation of long-chain ceramide species contributes to structural and functional myocardial changes in HF. We hypothesize that lipotoxicity is a key means of myocardial dysfunction but that distinct characteristics exist defined by the underlying cardiomyopathy. In myocardium from patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies and non- diseased controls, we will analyze the myocardial lipid composition of ceramides, diacylglycerides, triglycerides, fatty acids, acylcarnitines, lipoxins and resolvins using LC/MS techniques. We also will study the impact of mechanical unloading through left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement on myocardial metabolic derangements (AIM 1). Further, we will analyze pathways controlling gene and microRNA expression and link these to the results of the lipid composition analyses (AIM 2). Finally, we will analyze the cardiac lipid composition in animal models of human ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies and test whether pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of the de novo and salvage pathway of ceramide synthesis affects long-chain ceramide accumulation and progressive cardiac remodeling (AIM 3). In achieving the goals of this proposal, we will expand the understanding of key mechanisms underlying myocardial structural and functional derangements in HF. A major strength of this investigation is the ability to test the impact of long-chain ceramide accumulation on myocardial remodeling. Further, we will define the myocardial lipid pool in patients with advanced HF compared to controls and the impact of mechanical unloading of the failing myocardium. These studies will define new molecular and functional targets in patients with HF. The proposed work will, therefore, lay critical groundwork for broader clinical goals to define and enhance therapeutic strategies to modify molecular and transcriptional patterns of cardiac metabolism in HF.
This application addresses the mechanisms underlying central metabolic derangements in HF. We will define the myocardial ceramide pool in patients with advanced HF and its reversibility after mechanical unloading. Further, we study the impact of ceramide synthesis inhibition of myocardial infarct size and progression of heart failure. These studies will define new molecular pathways in HF and test novel therapeutic strategies to modify patterns of cardiac metabolism in HF.

Previously to be called a Geek has implied uncool, hard working and to have a eagerness to study. In school’s and work this has been thought of as a bad thing. But this is now gently changing, hence the change needed in the definition of the word.
Now being a ‘Geek’ is definitely a cool thing, it has sparked a whole fashion and has even graduated to being ‘sexy’.
In the workplace I think this still has an impact where people think that if you try hard, or talk about what you have done then people will laugh or get jealous or bored or just think bad things.
There are three possible ways to do this without seeming to annoy those around you.
1 – Get other people to talk about you in a good way.
Getting others to talk about you and your achievements is a great way to get your profile up within a business. However most people do not naturally do this, either because they are too busy to think about it, or because they don’t realise how valuable it is. Therefore you want to help them to do it.
When your boss praises you for a good bit of work, or a client thanks you for doing something helpful. Rather than just sitting on that praise, you could ask that person ‘Who else would be interested in this?’ This may cause your boss/client to stop and think. Then you can discuss if there is anyone else in the business who would benefit from knowing you did a good job of this.
This sounds a little weird, but there is a reason why it will work: Does your boss/client look better or worse for having shared your good performance? Always better. Just by sharing your brilliance, some of that brilliance rubs off on them just for saying it. It makes them look good in the eyes of others, and we all know that bosses love this.
2 – When people ask how you are – don’t just tell them how busy you are.
This is the stock response that most people give when other people at work ask them ‘How are you?’ Almost everyone says it is a really busy time, or I’m having a really busy day.
Instead of this, think of the fascinating things you have have been doing, victories you have had or where you are working really hard. Then respond to this most common question with something that is engaging. It doesn’t have to be egotistical, but simply by thinking about what has been going on and telling an interesting idea or story; people get a message about you.
3 – Identify your Wins
This is linked to step 2. People often don’t know how to promote themselves because they haven’t thought about the big things they have achieved. I like the Win, Learn, Change framework for this.
At regular times, at the end of the week or month discuss with your boss or someone you trust the things that you have Won in the last week/month. Then the things you have Learned and finally the things that you will Change as a result.
Not only is this a great way to monitor how you are doing and increase your performance. It also provides the ammunition for the next time someone ask how you are. You can give them something scintillating.

21 Commerce Drive in South Brunswick — Courtesy: Atlantic Real Estate Services
By Joshua Burd
A maker of consumer electronics accessories has acquired a South Brunswick warehouse for more than $13.1 million, in one of several new transactions by Atlantic Real Estate Services.
The brokerage firm announced this week that South Middlesex Associates LLC has sold 21 Commerce Drive, a 100,920-square-foot property, to Premier Accessory Group. Atlantic Vice President Brian Dudzinski brokered the $13.12 million sale.
In a second transaction, Dudzinski negotiated the $11.9 million sale of a 114,368-square-foot industrial flex building at 1 Riverview Drive in the Somerset section of Franklin. The brokerage identified Ivy River Property LLC and Jack Imir as the seller and buyer, respectively.
Atlantic also announced the completion of a lease by Commonwealth Wholesale Corp., which is taking 53,000 square feet at 990 Paterson Plank Road in East Rutherford. Industrial Specialist Matt Dudzinski represented the tenant, while Abraham & Martin represented Broadway Party Rentals Inc., the landlord at the newly built, 133,000-square-foot building.
In Pennsylvania, industrial specialists Mike Mills and Dustin Weeks brokered the sale of a 24-acre industrial development site on Hanoverville Road in Lower Nazareth Township, according to a news release. The seller and buyer in the $5.76 million deal were Jacobsburg Realty LLC and Triple Net Investments LXII LLC, respectively, with plans calling for a 243,750-square-foot building.

text: The Sydney Monorail carried commuters around the Australian city for a quarter of a century before being discontinued by the local authorities in June 2013. However, in October of that year two of its carriages were put to good use at Google Australia’s newest office. Intended to become meeting rooms with air-con and video conferencing capabilities, the compartments were crane lifted into the building via a window on the second level. The unusual installation came about after Google employee Paul Cowan lightheartedly suggested that the web giant buy the monorail to take workers between its three Sydney offices. The carriages are now in place, at a reported cost to Google of around $195,000.

Music on the Moors – the Two Moors Festival does the Chelsea Flower Show
This week, I’ve left behind my nine-to-five desk job – five days off from writing stories about oak furniture, wahey! – and have hotfooted it down to London to check out the Chelsea Flower Show, hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society, for the first time. As a hay fever sufferer, I was somewhat trepidatious but my fears were certainly unwarranted as, in spite of the dust and the pollen, I only sneezed a handful of times and thus was able to fully enjoy the beauty and splendour of all the many gardens I was faced with visiting.
However, before I could traipse around taking in the 32 different plantations, I had to zoom off to the courtyard gardens where the Two Moors Festival’s site was to have a look at what my parents and their colleagues had achieved and it certainly didn’t disappoint me or any of the thousands of people crowding around the five-foot-by-five-foot plot.
Called Music on the Moors, the garden – designed by Christina Williams, her first such project and a first for the festival as well – was meant to represent both Dartmoor and Exmoor, seen through towering willow arches, as if through the windows of a church, and featured a multitude of plants, grasses, ferns, a hawthorne tree and, on press day, even a true-blue Devonian sheep waiting for her first brush with fame.
The peaceful surrounds were completed with granite blocks, an insane amount of moss, a music stand – complete with Schubert’s Die Schone Mullerin waiting to be played – a pond with a stream trickling down into it and a natural wooden seat. To my mind, part of the appeal of Music on the Moors was that – unlike so many of the other bigger gardens which, while undeniably impressive, are basically unattainable for the less well-heeled among us – it is completely achievable for all gardeners, demanding time, love and attention, rather than money, to reach the desired end.
In all, it seemed to cause quite a stir among those who made it to the front of the crowds, expressing their pleasure and surprise at how natural the overall effect was – and how much bigger it looked in reality than on the television. More than one person exclaimed that it looked as though it had been there forever, rather than having been constructed over a ten-day period and even local animals themselves were taken with the site, with a robin enjoying a refreshing bath in the pond and a pigeon perching in the bushes above.
And the Two Moors Festival’s efforts did not go unrewarded at all – the judges clearly felt similarly to the many green-thumbed gardening enthusiasts and awarded it a gold medal and the accolade of best courtyard garden in show. So congratulations to the festival and all those involved in the creation of what was – and will continue to be, as it is being moved to the Calvert Trust at the end of the flower show – a truly beautiful and serene representation of what the south-west of the country has to offer.

Although it is not thought of as a major issue in the healthcare industry, negligent credentialing is more common than you would believe. In order for a doctor to use the hospital facilities, the hospital must grant the doctor the right to use the hospital this is known as granting staff privileges or credentialing. A hospital owes a duty to screen the competency of the doctors to which it grants privileges.
Additionally, the hospital must also terminate its relationship with a doctor if the hospital knows or should have known of issues with the doctor’s competency. If the hospital fails to properly screen its doctors or retains a doctor that the hospital knows or should have known to have competency issues and that failure caused the patient harm, then the hospital is negligent.
The jury is instructed on the issue as follows:
In determining whether a [physician] [ (other practitioner)] should be permitted to exercise clinical privileges as a member of the hospital staff, a hospital has a duty to exercise reasonable diligence in obtaining and acting upon information concerning the competence of [applicants to] [members of] its staff. A hospital that [grants clinical privileges to] [permits the continued exercise of clinical privileges by] an individual, when the hospital knew or reasonably should have known that the individual was not qualified to exercise those privileges with reasonable skill, is negligent.
Beyond employment, a hospital or other medical facility may be held responsible for its non-employee’s negligence if the hospital created the appearance that it was the provider of the medical services to the public. Generally speaking, the hospital will be held liable to the patient for the actions of its independently contracted doctors if the hospital—through its actions—created the impression to the public that the doctors were the agents of the hospital.
If you know of a situation where a hospital has been negligent due to credentialing doctors that do not have the competency to treat, you need to speak to a lawyer. If you have been injured by a doctor that is not credentialed you may have a malpractice case. For more information on negligent credentialing happening in hospitals feel free to call us at 505-242-7200 and we would be happy to discuss this matter with you.

Restaurant full of shy Finns propose for Geisha Valentine’s campaign
A restaurant full of dining couples all proposing during a single evening was secretly filmed as part of a reality-based Valentine’s Day campaign for international chocolate brand, Geisha.
The cameras recorded heartwarming scenes of 14 love-shy Finns proposing to their steadies in a pop-up venue in Helsinki.
The experience was created by hasan & partners Helsinki, which briefed the bachelors and bachelorettes to invite their partners out on a regular date.
Big Brother director Jukka Honkanen at production company hasan motion, captured the romantic antics and produced a series of short films to be aired on TV and social media.
The film opens with a romantic soundtrack as the production team sets up the restaurant and installs their cameras. Then, one-by-one, rings are revealed and men – mainly nervous and sometimes on bended knee – pop the big question. Tears, smiles, kisses, laughter and hand-holding fades to Geisha’s endline: “Every moment can be the Moment”.
A two-minute TVC will air on national TV channel MTV3, after the 10 o’clock news on Valentine’s Day. 15-second trailers and longer video versions will be shared on social media, while a full-page ad will appear in the country’s biggest daily newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, to announce the engagements.
Rasmus Bange, senior brand manager at Fazer Geisha, comments: “We’ve modernized the Geisha approach to reach a younger target audience – yet retain the link between romantic moments and chocolate. It is sometimes hard for a Finn to express feelings, which is why Geisha wanted to help a love-shy few to pop the question to their loved one.”
Anu Niemonen, creative at hasan & partners, added: “We wanted to capture real emotions and relationships in this year’s Geisha campaign, which is where the concept of helping couples with their proposals came from. As far as we know, this is the first time an entire restaurant of diners has proposed.”

Can a lawyer force me to send HOA dues checks to them instead of the HOA directions I have been following?
My question is simple. Do they have the right statutorily or from case law to force me to do same?
2 attorney answers
We can only speculate since we do not have the benefit of your by-laws or declarations; however, it is not unusual for these instruments to not only afford the remedies as you have described. Moreover, these instruments may also afford the HOA the right to submit their legal billing to you for payment. Battles against the HOA for non-payment of HOA fees and or assessments may be very difficult to defend against if these fees are borne consistently with powers granted by the board through the By-laws and or Declarations.
This is not to say that you do not have any defenses. We cannot speculate without the benefit of full review of the suit filed against you as well as the by-laws, decs, and any notices you may have received relevant to to this issue. However, since an action has been filed against you, I strongly recommend that you seek consult with a contract attorney experienced in HOA defense.

You tell us. You are the one playing lawyer and baiting a foreclosure action with the HOA. If you don't know even basic issues such as that posed, you would be wise to stop playing lawyer and hire one to address this issue. If you won't do that, then you need to reconsider starting fights you can't finish.
