On average, nearly 10,000 commercial aircraft carrying well over 1 million people are in the sky at any one time. Airlines flew more than 4 billion passengers worldwide in 2017.
With air travel having become so commonplace, it's easy to forget just how amazing it is that humans are now routinely hurled through the atmosphere inside relatively small metal tubes. In addition, the many attendant hassles that come with air travel -- ranging from time-consuming and intrusive security screenings to unpleasantly tight aircraft interior configurations -- often make what is still the miracle of human flight feel decidedly unmiraculous.
Perhaps that's why a moment I witnessed last month at the International Aviation Forecast Summit in Denver served to sharply remind me of the way flying can and should still capture the imagination.
After a morning full of the type of talks that inspire only wonkish industry insiders, the representatives of six aircraft makers gathered on the stage of the conference room in the downtown Hyatt Regency for a photo op.
But as each of the six men (yes, they were all men) held up a model aircraft he was set to give away in a drawing, I mostly trained my eyes on Blake Scholl, the founder and CEO of the start-up Boom Supersonic.
Scholl didn't look nervous or on edge. Still, it couldn't have been lost on him that he was surrounded by representatives of aerospace industry giants Boeing and Airbus as well as by representatives of the next two most significant commercial aircraft makers in the world, Embraer and Bombardier. Gordon Preston, a vice president of the Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., was the sixth man on that stage.
That's a high-octane bunch for a guy whose company has yet to produce even the 1/3-scale prototype of what he hopes will one day become the first supersonic jetliner in the sky since British Airways and Air France grounded the Concorde in 2003 because it wasn't economically viable.
Still, in putting Scholl and Boom on a stage with the likes of Airbus and Boeing, International Aviation Forecast Summit organizer Mike Boyd wasn't the first person to put his faith in the start-up and its baby-faced, 37-year-old owner. Last December, Japan Airlines invested $10 million in Boom and obtained an option to purchase up to 20 Boom aircraft.
A year earlier, Richard Branson's Virgin Group took an option on Boom's first 10 airframes while agreeing to provide the venture with engineering and manufacturing services, along with flight-test support and operation.
To be sure, Boom isn't alone in the quest to build the next generation of commercial supersonic planes. Boston-based Spike Aerospace began its supersonic program with the development of an 18-seat business jet for which it plans to begin scaled supersonic flight tests late next year in hopes of having the full-size craft ready for market early next decade.
Spike has since segued into concept design for a commercial jet. If it moves forward on the commercial side, CEO Vik Kachoria told me, Spike expects to have a 50-seat supersonic aircraft ready for sale in the late 2020s or early 2030s.
Under Boom's latest developmental schedule, the prototype is to take flight late next year. Scholl expects to begin testing the full-scale aircraft, which would hold 42 to 50 seats, in 2023. If all goes well, deliveries would begin in 2025.
"We all know that in 2050, we're not going to be going Mach .85 anymore, and the question is, who's going to be the winner," Scholl said in a recent talk at Denver's Centennial Airport.
Boom and Spike have markedly different visions for their supersonic aircraft.
Boom is developing an aircraft with a maximum speed of Mach 2.2, about 10% faster than the Concorde (the speed of sound is 767 mph). Spike, on the other hand, is working toward a speed of Mach 1.6.
A primary reason that Spike plans to build somewhat slower aircraft is to keep sonic boom decibel levels lower. Overland civilian supersonic flying has been banned in the U.S. since 1973, though Congress is weighing the creation of a pathway to allow such flying as part of an FAA reauthorization bill.
Kachoria says overland flying is vital for his company's aircraft to be economically viable, and the less noise the craft creates in the form of supersonic booms, the more likely it is to one day receive overland certification.
While Scholl also would like to fly overland, he said that as long as they go fast enough, Boom aircraft can be viable in the marketplace even if restricted to overseas routes.
During his Centennial Airport talk, Scholl noted that over the past five decades, commercial aircraft have become larger, more fuel efficient and have also changed in many other ways, but they haven't gotten faster.
"We've changed everything about the aircraft except what the passengers care about, which is speed," he said.
I don't know who will ultimately win the race to design the first next-generation supersonic commercial aircraft. It could be Boom. It could be Spike. It could be someone else. And whoever it is could well end up merging into Boeing or Airbus before the aircraft ever takes to the sky as part of the fleet of a commercial airline.
But for now, the raw enthusiasm that Scholl exudes as he talks about the transformative potential of supersonic flight makes him a valuable spokesman.
For example, as he went through a slideshow at Centennial Airport, Scholl talked about some of the top executives among Boom's 85-person staff.
One individual he mentioned was Steve Ogg, the company's chief aerodynamicist. Ogg joined Boom from the golf ball industry, where he worked at various companies, including 11 years with Callaway.
Scholl said that while recruiting Ogg, he asked him a simple question: Do you want to make a golf ball fly farther, or do you want to change the world?
When Scholl speaks, he always presents the concept of flying as a big idea, something more important than mere dollars and cents -- something, in fact, that has for centuries captured human imagination.
Nor does he fail to remind his audience that the onset of broadly deployed and affordable supersonic flying would be transformative to the world, just as the onset of the jet age was in the middle part of the last century and just as the invention of manned flight itself had been a half-century before that.
"The goal is to remove the barriers to experiencing the planet." Scholl said in characteristically high-minded language.
I wonder if that was something Orville and Wilbur Wright thought about as they developed their first "flying machines" around the turn of the 20th century. Maybe not. It would have perhaps taken even more genius than the Wrights possessed for them to see into a future consisting of thousands of flights carrying millions of passengers safely around the globe on any given day.
To be clear, I don't mean to compare Scholl to the Wrights. (In fact, just bringing them up here makes me worry that I'll be seen as engaging in such argument-wrecking hyperbole.) But to me, the most astounding part of the Wrights' story is that they invented the first aircraft almost entirely on their own. They were neither wealthy nor did they receive financial backing.
And yet, they beat competitors, including a Smithsonian-backed effort, into the sky through din of brilliance, persistence, self-belief and a vision that man indeed could and would fly.
I don't especially care if it's specifically Scholl and Boom who usher us into the next phase of commercial air travel. Maybe it will be another small player, like Spike Aerospace. And it's true that Boom isn't exactly going it alone. Unlike the Wrights, they've got investors, including Japan Airlines.
After all, this isn't 1900, and developing an economically efficient supersonic jetliner is a bit pricier than that original one-man Wright Flyer.
Still, seeing Scholl on that stage in Denver, standing among representatives of Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Embraer and Mitsubishi, was inspirational.
Flying is still amazing, it reminded me. And just maybe, it's still an arena in which a person with a vision can accomplish incredible things.

CHICAGO (AP) — New research shows the stop-smoking drugs Chantix and Zyban are as safe for the heart as nicotine patches and dummy pills.
The results are from industry-funded research requested by U.S. and European regulators. They're part of a big study that earlier found no increased risks for severe psychiatric problems.
Experts say the results show it's safer for smokers to use these drugs than to continue smoking.
The study was published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine. It included over 2,000 adult smokers from the United States and 15 other countries.
Smokers used one of the three treatments or dummy pills for three months followed by an observation period lasting up to a year. There were few heart attacks and deaths but they occurred with similar frequency in all four groups.


Antique American Clocks July 2022
Nathan Hale mirror clock, 1807-1817. Hale is best known for his tall-case clocks made in Vermont; this is the only example I can find of a Nathan Hale mirror clock. The case is 42 inches long, veneered on the front and sides with birdseye maple. The chimneys did not hold finials. The gilding on the door frame appears to be original, with wear; there are four embossed ornaments on the corners. The dial glass is old, the dial surround repainted, the mirror is old and possibly original. It is covered by a backboard inside. The iron dial holds the original paint with the signature of N. Hale, Chelsea, Vt. The hands are delicately handmade and no doubt original. The hand-made brass movement has inscribed gears and a fanciful verge; I could not test it as the pendulum spring is broken off and will need repair. The catgut weight cord looks tentative and so I did not hang the 7 lb weight. The bottom of the case is open behind the carved front drop. No sales records for this or a similar model, although my consignor says he paid a pretty penny at Cottone’s in 2007. $2500-$7500.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich signed legislation in August requiring drivers transporting students enrolled in grade 12 or below to or from school activities to have a commercial driver's license (CDL) with a school bus driver endorsement.
The legislation, HB 2840, also established requirements for obtaining a CDL school bus driver endorsement, which include the following:
A person must submit fingerprints to the Department of State Police, pass a written test administered by the Secretary of State, demonstrate physical fitness by submitting results of a medical examination (including a drug test) and pass applicable background tests.
The amended vehicle code language states that a valid CDL issued by any other state or jurisdiction in accordance with federal rules is also acceptable.
A person may also operate such a bus if he or she holds a valid school bus driver permit that was issued on or before Dec. 31, 2003.
The law amends the school code to provide that all contracts for these types of services contain a clause that indicates whether or not all charter bus drivers passed all of the necessary requirements.
The original Illinois legislation establishing the school bus permit left out any chance for out-of-state drivers to earn a permit, which prevented then from transporting any Illinois school children (grades K-12).

Running from the Dead
A Crime Novel
For fans of Don Winslow and readers of noir comes Running from the Dead, critically acclaimed and award winning author Mike Knowles’s newest crime novel
THREE STARRED REVIEWS
“The best private detective novel I’ve read in some time … This one deserves an award.” — Bay Observer
After his six-year search for a kidnapped boy ends in a suspicious murder, private detective Sam Jones is forced to take matters into his own hands: he must track down a missing girl and clear his name before the police track him down.
Private detective Sam Jones’s six-year search for an eight-year-old boy ends with gunshots in a basement and cold bodies that would eventually lead the police straight to him. Jones had never promised Ruth Verne that he would find her son alive, but he knew deep down that she believed he would — worse, he had believed it too. Jones wasn’t ready to look Ruth in the eye and tell her he had failed. He wasn’t ready to admit that he lost everything and had nothing to show for it.
But an unsigned note scrawled on a bathroom door gives Jones a second chance — a chance for redemption. Thirteen words left by a young girl in trouble give him someone to chase and a reason to keep moving before the cops move on him. Jones follows the trail from an idyllic small town to the darkest corners of the city, running from the boy he failed toward the girl he could still save.
Mike Knowles lives in Hamilton with his wife, children, and dog. He has written seven previous novels: Darwin’s Nightmare, Grinder, In Plain Sight, Never Play Another Man’s Game, The Buffalo Job, Rocks Beat Paper, and Tin Men.

There’s no doubt that for many of us, Thanksgiving will look a bit different this year. We may be breaking with tradition this Thanksgiving and refraining from traveling to see family or hosting large gatherings.
If you won’t be enjoying a large Thanksgiving meal like you’re used to, have no fear — there is now a candle that will make your home smell just as amazing as it would if you were cooking up a glorious spread.
The hand-poured candle costs $14 for a medium wick and $18 for a large double wick. The medium-sized candle has a burn time of 33 hours, while the double wick burns for around 56 hours. This means that you can enjoy the smells of Thanksgiving for much longer than just one day!
If you’re looking for something to burn that reminds you of the dessert part of Thanksgiving evening, you can find plenty of other candles that feature your favorite sweet-and-spicy after-dinner smells.
DW Home has dessert scents like crisp apple & vanilla, pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin & rum (pumpkin spice cake mixed with brown sugar, tart apple and cinnamon sticks steeped in rum!), for those who enjoy after-dinner drinks as well.
Meanwhile, Bath & Body Works’ fall candle line-up includes Pumpkin Snickerdoodle, Pumpkin Cupcake, Pumpkin Cookie Dough and Thanks & Giving, which has scents of juicy red apple, gooey caramel and praline pieces.
If you think you’ll still be missing the flavors of a full Thanksgiving meal, you can also now buy turkey dinner-flavored candy corn and Thanksgiving snack packs from Butterball, which are basically a scaled-down Thanksgiving dinner you can take to-go.
How will you be celebrating Thanksgiving this year?

California Public Schools will again Require Masks on all Students for 2021-22 School Year
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday, July 10, 2021 that California public school students will be required to wear masks again this upcoming school year regardless of whether the student is vaccinated in order for all students and staff to be treated “equally” inside classrooms. This comes as a surprise given that the recent CDC guidelines are less strict. California Health & Human Services Agency Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly suggests that, "Masking is a simple and effective intervention that does not interfere with offering full in-person instruction.” I beg to differ with Dr. Ghaly. I can tell you that masking and social distancing had a severely detrimental impact on our students. Never in my 30 years inside California classrooms have I seen anything like the apathy and lack of interaction between students as what I witnessed with my classes last year. It seemed like most of my students didn’t remember what engaging with others was like, and even if they did remember, they no longer were interested in social interactions. Academically, the impact of masking and distancing interferes with students' hearing and understanding their teachers and each other as well as the development of language skills. Muffled speech and the inability to see movements of the speaker's mouth create a roadblock to student growth.
Even if a child or staff member has recovered from the virus and carries antibodies, or has been vaccinated, “everyone” needs to wear a mask so that “everyone” is treated equally. Bottom line, if your child returns to public school in the fall, they will need to wear a mask and continue social distancing.

Ready in minutes, you'll wonder how you ever survived without this in your repertoire.[/caption]
It may not fit into the "quick and easy" category, but Ireland's long love affair with lasagne means it should still be on your list. Whether it's the classic recipe below, a veggie version or a seasonal twist, once you've mastered the method it'll become your go-to dish for feeding a gang.

4. Spaghetti with anchovies, crumbs and capers
When we've got nothing in the house and the thoughts of going to the shops are enough to make us cry, this is the dinner we turn to time and again. For something that's made out of practically nothing, you'd be surprised at the depth of flavour, and the crunchy crumbs add all the texture you need.

Lake Tahoe Water Trail lends clarity to navigating the lake via instruction and education
The surge in popularity of stand-up paddleboarding in recent years has led to an influx of paddlers on the waters of Lake Tahoe during the summer. The Lake Tahoe Water Trail aims to lend clarity to navigating North America’s largest alpine lake with a paddleboard or kayak via instruction and education.
“People are coming to Tahoe in droves to get on the lake, and they need to know where to access it,” said Becky Bell, project manager for the trail. “It’s all about access. The Water Trail allows the public — primarily visitors — to know where to launch and where to land.”
Lake Tahoe Water Trail is a 72-mile route around the lake that was created in 2003 through efforts from California Tahoe Conservancy and volunteer organization Lake Tahoe Water Trail Association. Last year, the conservancy selected Truckee-based Sierra Business Council to promote the water trail — the latest trail network in the basin.
“The lake is a sanctuary and everybody wants to get on there,” Bell said. “It’s a safe and responsible way to have a safe and fun attraction — we’re hoping it helps people learn how to navigate.”
Bell said the aim of Lake Tahoe Water Trail is to help paddlers and kayakers become “mountain mariners,” and enjoy their time on the lake beyond the swim line while doing so safely. The showpiece of that mission is a 24-by-37-inch color trail map and guide, a waterproof work of art that breaks the lake down into extensive detail.
“All these land managers and lakefront property owners agreed that it was time to help paddlers find their way,” Bell said. “Everybody shows up and wonders where to go and what to do.”
The current map, last revised in 2012, is on sale at local paddleboard shops for $11.99 with proceeds supporting water safety and aquatic invasive species prevention. It’s a valuable tool that features detailed information for Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf Lake and includes underwater and land topography, GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude grids, public launch and landing sights, and points of interest.
“With all the people, we really need to have a wayfinding trail system,” Bell said. “It’s kind of like the Tahoe Rim Trail for the water.”
The map and LTWT’s website break the lake down into seven day trips ranging from 8.5 to 15 miles. South Shore trips include Cave Rock to Zephyr Cove Resort (10 miles), Zephyr Cove Resort to Kiva Beach (11 miles), and Kiva Beach to Rubicon Point through Emerald Bay (10 miles).
Bell said the trail’s website serves as its core informational tool, with information about the lake and its conditions along with safety and regulations. The group’s core message is “Be prepared, be aware,” which means to treat a day on the lake with similar reverence to a backcountry skiing trip in the winter while carrying a lifejacket, floatation device and flashlight.
“We want people to have a safe and fun adventure, but first we want them to check the weather,” Bell said. “We want people to check marine conditions first and plan ahead.”
LTWT’s latest project is informational signs at 20 launching points around the lake, featuring a local map, safety messages and contact information in case of an emergency. The program will launch with six signs on the North Shore this summer, and the first one is expected to go up soon at Lake Forest Boat Ramp in Tahoe City.
Sign design was funded by Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s Environmental Improvement Program and Tahoe Lakefront Owners Association while production of the first six signs was made possible by a grant from North Lake Tahoe Resort Association and Placer County. Funding and production for the first phase was approved July 1, and the six signs will be placed by the end of summer.
Bell said the plan is to have all 20 signs in place lakewide by 2018. Proposed locations include 11 sites on the South Shore, including El Dorado, Regan, Nevada and Baldwin beaches.

Google is increasing the number of cards in Google Now, after adding integrations with 70 more apps to the service, bringing the total number of integrations to 110. The new cards, which will be rolling out to Android users over the next few weeks, will include news notifications from ABC News and Feedly, food reminders from Eat24 and Allrecipes, fitness updates from Runkeeper and Jawbone, and playlist recommendations from Spotify and YouTube, among other new additions.
Owners of the Nest thermostat in the United Kingdom are complaining about a glitch where the device fails to respect this weekend's change to British Summer Time. Posts on the Nest support forums spotted by The Register note that the thermostat does recognize the change in time, but the schedule effectively does not take it into effect, with changes being performed one hour later than intended. While Nest works to fix the issue, one user has managed to get around the problem by changing the thermostat's settings, temporarily relocating it in software to Belgium.
Pebble has updated its website with a countdown timer to an unknown event, with the timer set to run out on Tuesday morning. Expected to be another device announcement, sources of 9to5mac claim it will be a major update featuring a color e-paper display and a thinner case design, complete with a microphone for voice recognition and a backlight. Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky has previously suggested there would be some changes to the smartwatch's software, with a new "interaction model," but the CEO kept quiet when asked about hardware changes.
In a post on Friday in the Google Inside Search blog, Director of Product Management Apama Chennapragada announced the company's predictive-search app, Google Now, would be rolling out integration with third party apps to help users keep abreast of important information on their devices.
Google Now has added a new card to its roster, warning users of changes in flight prices. Spotted by Android Police, the card will automatically appear if a flight is searched for via Google Flight Search, though apparently not when using other fare comparison sites, with the card advising of any rise or fall in cost. It is unknown how far the feature has rolled out, nor if it picks up relevant data from standard Google searches or Gmail.
Google is now allowing for the creation of reminders in Google Search. Similar to the vocal method using Google Voice Search and Google Now on smartphones, Google Operating System reports users can set a reminder by typing "Add reminder" or "Create Reminder" in the search box. A reminder card with extra settings will then appear, with a "Remind me on Google Now" link finalizing the notification.
Google is stepping up the integration of Google Now with other Google products, by starting to roll out another card for events and appointments to its roster. Set to hit smartphones over the next few weeks, "Inferred events" found in email conversations in a Gmail account will now appear in Google Now, with the service now giving the option to add the referenced event to the user's Google Calendar.
Google's Search app for iOS has received an update, adding FIFA World Cup cards that offer up-to-date information on game statuses. In order to access FIFA World Cup cards, users must be signed in to Google, and have their Google Now feature turned on within the app's settings. Google Now cards can be viewed by swiping upwards, revealing cards on specific teams and more. The latest update, v4.1.0, also includes several smaller fixes with regards to bugs in logging in and crashes.
Google's reminder app, Google Now, has updated its Android version to include the ability to create reminders entirely through voice command. Previously, voice command was available for creating reminders, however a tap confirmation was required for finalization. Users can now say "yes" or "set" to finish the reminder. Google Now is available for free download.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

I think this may be my last outdoor sketch of the year. I was out this morning. The temperature was 3-4 C and it was windy. I did the basics of this sketch as quickly as my slow hand allowed. It’s a tiny, old ‘casse-croute’ (typically this means they sell fries and poutine) on Dorchester street.
By the time I had the structure drawn, I was frozen so I headed to the library, which was nearby. I’d snapped a photo of the building and used it to add details and color. I think this marks the beginning of indoor season for me.

A couple of posts ago, I had a collaboration with my friend Karen Luzon for our latest collection; and for weeks now we’ve been planning another shoot to add to her portfolio, a couple shoot! J well, it would be presented as an engagement shoot but we’d like to call it a couple shoot since my boyfriend and I aren't engaged "yet" (imagine how our parents would think when they find out that we were going to have a prenup shoot without their knowledge! *well this actually happened, my mom asked me about this and we clearly told her it was a COUPLE SHOOT, haha!) .
|we've had a lot of photos taken from our camera phone but we'd love to have a styled shoot :)|
We were supposed to do the shoot last weekend but typhoon “Ferdie” had good timing wrecking havoc in Metro Manila; so there we were a bit sad cause of the weather but thankful that it would buy us more time to prepare the clothes (more trips to the thrift shop!) and the backdrop and props that would make our shoot more interesting and a little less amateur (we’ll try our best J )

|My man in uniform|
This weather's making me feel emotional :P let me tell you guys about our (cheesy) story and how it feels like to be a military S.O....
|college days circa 2006|
My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years, I've known him since college and we were inseparable ever since, or so I thought. After college both of us were having a hard time getting jobs as nurses; he then decided to join the Philippine Army. At first I didn't approve his decision, I was all worried that he might be stationed in a far province and I might not spend the time with him just like we used to and I was also starting to worry about his safety when he becomes a soldier. In the end, He made me realize that he was doing this for the both of us, a secure life for his family.

I've been wanting to find a replacement for my trusty rubber flat shoes for the rainy days, and because I was fond of wearing gladiator flats that were both comfy and sexy, I went on and searched for my new rainy day footwear that were still stylish and is well within my budget.
|Beautiful and Affordable Jelly/ rubber Footwear from Jessica at SM Makati|
Of course I have seen these styles before but with a much higher price *almost 2,000 pesos! good thing department stores offer stylish designs that are easy on the budget.
I am loving Jessica's new collection, with laser cut detail in pastel colors, T- strap sandals in neon and metallic and cap toe flats that would still look great with every outfit with prices NOT MORE THAN 300 PESOS! See more of my picks after the break.

A rich merchant in Baghdad sent his servant one day to the marketplace to buy food. But after a few minutes the servant returned looking panic-stricken.
“Master!” he cried. “You must lend me your best horse immediately, so that I may flee to Damascus and thereby escape my fate.”
“Whatever is the matter?” asked the merchant.
“I went to the marketplace and I saw Death standing there among the stallholders!” exclaimed the servant. “He made a hostile gesture at me and started walking towards me. I beg you, lend me your best horse so that I may flee to Damascus and escape.”
The merchant was a kind man and he did as his servant asked. Then he himself walked down to the marketplace to see if the story was true. Sure enough, Death was standing in the crowd.
“Why did you make a hostile gesture at my servant?” asked the merchant.
“I made no gesture of hostility,” replied Death. “I was simply very surprised to see him, for I have an appointment with him tonight… in Damascus.”
You cannot escape. Wherever you go you will find your death waiting for you. Yes, it can be prolonged, postponed, but what is the point? Rather than postponing, why not use this opportunity of becoming aware of death — that it is approaching, that it is on the way, that any moment you will be in its grip. Don’t ask for the horse and don’t try to go to Damascus. You cannot escape. The only way is to transcend, not to escape.
Not To Escape
In everyday’s life we want to escape from our inner turmoil. We think escapist is only solution. Because for us world seems to be in turmoil, this doesn’t mean you live in unique times. The world “out there” has always been a source of trouble and never the source of peace. The real issue is how to relate to such a world.
What Is Inner Turmoil?
Turmoil is a broad term. There are many ways that people can feel worried, agitated, anxious, and depressed. But if you look inward, certain common elements are generally present.
1. Troubling thoughts keep repeating themselves.
2. It feels as if these thoughts are in control.
3. As a result of feeling out of control, you experience an element of fear.
4. The inner agitation feeds off itself the more you dwell on it.
Finding a way out of turmoil seems impossible, which leads to spiraling helplessness.
If you stop for a moment and reflect upon anything that has deeply worried you or made you feel depressed, especially if that is happening right now, you will notice these mental qualities. To escape your inner turmoil, each of them must be reversed.
Troubling thoughts must be put to rest.
1. You need to feel that you are not the victim of your mind and emotions.
2. The element of fear must be released.
3. Inner agitation needs to decrease day by day.
4. You must regain enough power to feel in control once more.
Learning from the story A Servant In Baghdad: The only way is to transcend, not to escape
Life is a tapestry of experiences—ups, downs, joys, sorrows, and the pleasures and pains of life. One experience that can be particularly challenging is that of suffering. The great wisdom tradition of Vedanta reminds you that, in the absence of enlightenment, life contains suffering.
Unlike pain—an uncomfortable physical, mental, or emotional experience—suffering is the state of being caught up in your painful situation and identifying with it as an aspect of your being. In other words, pain is what happens to you; suffering is your interpretation and reaction to that pain. Therefore, pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. But what are the roots of suffering, and where do they come from? According to Vedanta, there are five specific causes of suffering—the five Kleshas.
In Sanskrit, the word Klesha means poison and refers to a negative mental state that obscures the mind and allows the conditions of suffering to arise. By transcending them, you can be liberated from suffering. The following looks at each Klesha in turn.
1. Not Knowing the True Nature of Reality:
This is the state of ignorance or Avidya that arises when you forget your true nature as spiritual beings. Your real identity is that of pure, unbounded awareness.
Unfortunately, the turbulent activity of material life has overshadowed this understanding from your conscious awareness. And when you don’t grasp this essential truth of who you are, you set the stage for the other four Kleshas to arise.
2. Identification with a False Sense of Self:
Once you have forgotten your true self, you substitute a false identity in its place. This constricted self is the ego; the moment-by-moment fabrication of your self-image that defines itself by the positions and possessions of life.
A great deal of suffering is caused by the ego’s need for approval and the resulting offense taken whenever its needs are not met.
3. Attachment to Objects of Desire:
Raaga, or attachment, is the act of clinging or grasping to something which is illusory or impermanent. When you are deeply attached to something, it is an indication that you are afraid it of it being taken away.
Attachment causes suffering by instilling in you a background current of fear, tension, anxiety, and dread of loss that is the inevitable byproduct of life on the material level.
4. Aversion or Avoidance of Things You Don’t Want:
While attachment is the act of hanging on to things, people, or situations you do want, Dvesha, or repulsion, is your avoidance of things you don’t want. Anything that poses a threat to your ego will cause you to recoil.
Aversion leads to suffering by pulling you into negativity, fear, what ifs, and worst-case scenario thinking as you worry over what you will do if you can’t avoid what you fear most.
5. The Fear of Death:
Abhinivesha, or the will to live, is the ultimate attachment—the attachment to life itself. Fear of death is an experience shared by nearly all human beings, even those who live in misery.
The fear of death causes suffering by giving rise to all other fears, anxieties, doubts, and worries.

Not only is Vice President Kamala Harris unable to keep staff members in her toxic office, she is also unable to get approval from American citizens in her own home state.
“Vice President Harris’s job approval numbers are underwater in her home state of California, according to the latest poll co-sponsored by the University of California, Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times,” reports Breitbart News.
“Forty-six percent of the registered voters in California disapprove of her performance as President Biden’s second in command,” reports Breitbart News on the poll.
“In comparison, only 38 percent said they approved of her performance as vice president,” reports Breitbart News.
“Of the current poll’s 46 percent disapproval, 35 percent ‘strongly disapprove,'” reports Breitbart News.
Harris’s staff has said they want her to get out of Washington, DC, and view the receding of the Chinese coronavirus as an opportunity to tour the country more and promote the parts of the administration’s agenda that they were able to pass. The report noted that she experienced a ‘rough first year’ filled with ‘well-publicized gaffes and high staff turnover,'” reports Breitbart News.

Trigger finger may warn of impending CVD complications in type 2 diabetes
medwireNews: People with type 2 diabetes who have trigger finger are likely at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), say researchers.
In multivariate analysis, having trigger finger was associated with a more than threefold increased risk for incident CVD, report Michiaki Fukui (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Japan) and study co-authors.
Trigger finger, diagnosed “by palpating a thickened ﬂexion tendon or upon the manifestation of a locking phenomenon during extension or ﬂexion of either ﬁnger,” was present in 13.5% of 399 people with type 2 diabetes who were previously free of CVD.
Study participants with trigger finger were significantly older than those without, with a longer duration of diabetes, poorer glycemic control, and more microvascular complications. During an average 5.7 years of follow-up, the rates of incident CVD were 13.0% versus just 3.2%.
“Trigger finger is well known, and its diagnosis is relatively easy and non-invasive,” write the researchers in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.
But they say that this and other manifestations of “diabetic hand” are “often ignored in the clinical settings.”
The team concludes: “Clinicians need to be aware of the prevalence of trigger finger as it is associated with a higher incidence of CVD.”

Barack Obama continues to reveal his priorities by spending $770 million on rebuilding Cairo, Egypt’s sewage and water pipelines– not on helping create jobs in America or providing affordable healthcare to Americans who lost their health insurance because of Obamacare.
To make matters worse, the State Department used this “water” project to also renovate mosques and bring them into the 21st century by providing them computers and Internet access.
The State Department told CBS News Atlanta that the hundreds of millions spent on this one project was a way to “fight Islamic extremism by building relationships with Islamic leaders.”
But a former Muslim and Egyptian-American human rights activist, Nonie Darwish, told CBS News that this wasn’t really a goodwill mission. In fact, she argues, it is the extremists who run most of these mosques. The U.S. is actually funding terrorists who hate America:
“This part of the world has a lot of respect for power and America is not showing its power, it’s showing its appeasement. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
“We are rebuilding mosques to support the radicals, not to support the moderates. We are building mosques to issue fatwas of death against people like me.”
But it’s not just Egypt. The State Department has long been spending part of its budget on buying computers and other equipment, including internet service, for mosques in Tajikistan and Mali. Also, another problem, Darkish points out:
“That is not the job of the U.S. because giving them Internet access to imams and Muslim preachers who hate America.”
The question remains– when will Congress do something about this? When will Congress audit each agency and department spending to slash their budgets?
And, why is so much money being spent on non-Americans when more than half of America is out of work, unemployed and underemployed as well as without health insurance?

Exercise for the treatment and prevention of type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder which is characterised by chronically elevated blood sugar levels, with Type 2 Diabetes being the most common form accounting for around 85-90% of all cases. Unfortunately, 280 people develop Diabetes every day and it is one of the fastest growing health concerns in Australia today, with an estimated 2.2 million people affected. The good news however is that we have the knowledge and resources to help prevent people from developing this condition and better manage people who have already been diagnosed.
Studies show that exercise has many benefits, but specifically in the management and prevention of Type 2 Diabetes, it can assist in improving body composition, improving blood glucose control and drastically reduce the risk of developing secondary complications including heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. In fact, it has been demonstrated that people at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes can reduce their risk by 60% just by increasing their physical activity levels.
My top 10 tips for starting an exercise routine
1. Start small, even 10 mins is better than nothing and will help you to develop a habit
2. Find something that you enjoy doing as opposed to following what everyone else is doing

The ice-cream called her: so she walked to the center and treated herself by ordering some exotic flavours in the best place in town. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon so she walked up the castle – happy people everywhere and even the trees were joyfully moving their branches in the wind.
Little by little, without noticing exactly when, a strong feeling of nostalgia that can best be described with the Portuguese word Saudade came over her. It was not out of the blue, it merely seemed like something that was already there, waiting for its time to shine. Like a slow boomerang that flew back unnoticed. Little by little until the feeling that she thought was long gone was all over the place.
Ironically, she was talking to a friend the day before about this feeling, how it has completely disappeared. How she came across some photos of a wedding that happened exactly a year ago. She was there with very dear people at the time, yet when she looked at the photos she barely recognised herself, it all seemed so far in time and space.
Well, it seemed very real again. It was a challenge to walk down from the castle with this flood of unexpected feelings.
Step by step she acknowledged that nobody died, no one got hurt (not even herself, she was left with the nicest of memories), nothing really happened on the outside, yet for some reason with every step she also had more tears in her eyes.
This is phantom pain: something that is no longer there, a missing part of you that was once very true is now the source of the greatest pain. And you let it cry out on the bridge above a still river overlooking the castle.
Her friend asked whether she misses her city or a specific person. Of course a memory of a specific person triggered it but that was not all.
She admitted out loud that she was never happier than now. Every day she has these content feelings of being in the right place at the right time. Clearly, the place where she lives is the total opposite of Delhi and she was even glad about that! Only for those few moments today it felt like she was again (or maybe still?) in another story.
She didn’t really miss anything. She just felt that as there was no proper goodbye to certain situations and people, they still exist somewhere. Like there would be another reality. Hm, there is. It actually continues and this is what can trigger the phantom pain. It is officially not there anymore. No one can see it. But you can feel it more than ever.
It all happened very fast: it also went away very fast because she let it happen.
Simple: it hurts. And it goes away. That’s it.
There was more! She realised that this boomerang of feelings was not something new. It has happened to her already before, numerous times in fact. Nevertheless, today was the first time she did not get angry with herself for going on that rollercoaster of emotions for the n-th time. There was this deep feeling of gratitude for being there for herself, embracing the moment in all its glory and pain mixed toether. She fully accepted the Saudade, simply letting it be.
Soon after she came back to the apartment it started raining very heavily. While talking on the phone with a friend they both laughed that even something so simple as getting an ice-cream can be very dangerous. For safety purposes they are doing it together… After having some naan and chana masala, her favourite, and also the food that is most likely to bring back goold old memories.
She put on some clothes that would be easy to dry and ran out into the rain. In that moment there was nothing more refreshing than jumping and dancing together with the rain drops. In the air there was a more intense smell of elderflower than usual.
The same bridge that supported her when the sun was shining and she could not stop the tears from coming…Now saw her smile and dance in the rain.
The rain continued and it hit her. It hit me:
the feelings that appeared today are like the rain.
We cannot stop the rain.
We can complain about it, about the tears, the feelings but it’s still going to rain.
Whether we choose to or not we let the drops fall freely. We surrender and accept.
We let the water purify, we let it give Life.
It is all so very natural.
Of course on a daily basis it is more practical to use an umbrella for countless reasons.
Nevertheless, from time to time it is good to step outside and feel.
To feel the rain.
To feel the pain.
And let it all be washed away.
On days like this it is good to have a Rainy Playlist!
Here are some ideas:

Cinderella 2015 News and Updates: Fairy tale comes to life this 2015
Basically, we know who Cinderella is, the step-mother, the step-sisters, prince charming and who wouldn't remember the glass shoe? Well, Disney's Cinderella isn't just a cartoon anymore as it will come to life and on the big screen this March 2015.
Cinderella 2015 is a romantic fantasy film to be directed by Kenneth Branagh and a screenplay written by Aline Brosh Mckenna and Chris Weitz. The film is currently in the works with its final actors Lily James as Cinderella, Richard Madden (Prince Charming), Cate Blanchett (Lady Tremaine), Helena Bonham Carter (Fairy God Mother) along with other 'Cinderella' 2015 cast - Holliday Grainger, Sophie McShera, Stellan Skarsgard and Derek Jacobi.
Cinderella 2015 trailer was published on YouTube last May. A simple, at least, 60-second trailer that only features on Cinderella's glass shoe because as of that time, casting was still on the works.
As seen on the fairy tale Disney movie 'Cinderella', we probably have the idea on how the story turns out to be but let's expect changes and plot twists too since it's the reason why it's being adapted into a movie.
There were actually a lot of choices for Cinderella like Emma Watson, Gabriella Wilde, Bella Heathcote and some other potential Cinderella but turned down due to some other movie works until it finally landed to the 25-year-old actress, Lily James.
Cinderella 2015 movie is set to be released on theaters March 13, 2015.

A New York City police detective was indicted Wednesday on charges he lied under oath about drug arrests he made in July 2009, prosecutors said, leading to the dismissal of charges against two men found with two bricks of cocaine in a duffel bag.
Said Salim, 42, a firearms detective with the NYPD, lied under oath on "multiple occasions" about the arrests of two men in Manhattan without probable cause, according to a news release from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
According to the indictment, Salim arrested the men with a duffel bag holding more than 2 kilograms of cocaine. The detective later testified before a grand jury and at a suppression hearing in New York State Supreme Court, the DA's office said, that he stopped them because one looked like a confidential informant.
He also testified more than once that after realizing that one of the men wasn't a confidential informant, he told them to leave and take the duffel bag with them -- then testified that after each of the men denied the bag was his, Salim searched the bag and found the cocaine.
An investigation by the DA's office and the police department's Internal Affairs Bureau revealed Salim stopped and arrested the two men "without probable cause before unlawfully searching the duffel bag in which he discovered the cocaine," according to the release.
"Dishonesty from a member of the law enforcement community is detrimental, not only to the rights of defendants, but to the reputation of all law enforcement in the communities we serve," Vance said in the statement.
As a result of the false testimony, the case against the two men was dismissed.
Information about whether other cases handled by Salim were affected was not available.
The NYPD released a statement saying Salim had been arrested about 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Salim is charged with two counts of first-degree perjury, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, making a punishable false written statement and official misconduct.

|The High Level Ranters|
According to the Internet sources given below, The High Level Ranters were founded in 1964 as a Northumbrian traditional musical group one of the first involved in the revival of the Northumbrian smallpipes. From 1969 to 1979 the group comprised Alistair Anderson, Tommy Gilfellon, Johnny Handle and Colin Ross. After 1980 they reduced to Jim Hall, Johnny Handle and Colin Ross.
Their name combines the location of the Bridge Folk Club at the North end of the High Level Bridge in Newcastle and the Cheviot Ranters, a famous Northumberland dance band operating in the Alnwick area from about 1953 to 1996.
Forster Charlton, John Doonan, Pete Wood and Louis Killen have also performed and recorded with them.
Not only have they introduced many of today's pipers to the Northumbrian smallpipes but also been instrumental in reviving traditional music from the North-East of England to national and international audiences.
