As earlier than, Intel’s new cellular processor household is available in 4 kinds: HX, H, P, and U, ordered from highest to lowest when it comes to energy and efficiency targets, though that can differ based mostly on implementation, in fact. The brand new Intel Core Cellular collection runs the gamut, all the way in which from skinny & gentle laptops to massive, beefy desktop-replacement gaming notebooks.
Meet The Intel Thirteenth Gen Core Cellular Household
First, let’s check out the processors themselves. The large information right here is in fact the brand new HX collection processors. Intel says its Thirteenth-Gen Core HX platform is “constructed for fanatics and professionals”, and we will actually see why. The corporate did not explicitly affirm this, however similar to the Twelfth-Gen Core HX processors, the top-end Raptor Lake CPUs are clearly constructed upon essentially the identical silicon because the quicker desktop Thirteenth-Gen processors.
That signifies that, on absolutely the top-end, you get eight Raptor Cove efficiency cores, sixteen Gracemont effectivity cores, and clock charges as excessive as 5.6 GHz on the flagship Core i9-13980HX. Simply as with the desktop chips, these processors require an off-package PCH (or “chipset”), and since they’re focused to be paired with discrete GPUs, they arrive with comparatively modest 32-EU built-in graphics.
Curiously, base clocks are literally down barely on some fashions within the new technology, more likely to keep inside the similar 55W energy budgets because the earlier technology regardless of the presence of extra CPU cores. The increase clocks are up by as a lot as 600 MHz, although, and reminiscence clocks are up too, with the top-end SKUs supporting quick DDR5-5600 RAM. Additionally, each mannequin is completely unlocked for overclocking—one other change from Intel’s last-generation, the place vPro-enabled chips locked down core clocks.
In the meantime, Intel Thirteenth Gen Core Cellular U, P, and H processors make use of two completely different cube: one with six Golden Cove P-cores and eight Gracemont E-cores, after which one other with simply two of the identical P-cores and the identical eight E-cores. If these configurations sound acquainted, that is as a result of these are primarily (however not actually) refreshed Alder Lake cellular processors. We are saying “primarily” as a result of they are not simply reheated leftovers; Intel’s completed some work to clean up the recipe.
Probably the most notable modifications within the H-series processors are an general shift upward in clock charges, usually to the tune of round 300 to 400 MHz on the CPU cores, and 50-100 MHz on the GPU. As earlier than, these processors have far more potent built-in graphics than the HX collection processors, as they’re much less more likely to be paired with discrete GPUs; the 96-EU Iris Xe you will discover on many of the fashions has a bit extra horsepower.
Aiding with graphics efficiency on the Thirteenth-Gen CPUs is one other frequency bump, this time to reminiscence clock. Utilizing BGA LPDDR5 reminiscence, many of the Thirteenth-Gen Core H-series processors can run their RAM as much as 6400 MT/s. That’ll give a remaining reminiscence bandwidth of over 102 GB/sec, quicker than some surprisingly-recent discrete GPUs. Whereas Intel is not utilizing Arc branding for these built-in GPUs, they are going to apparently use the Arc Management software program.
Stepping down the stack when it comes to energy limits, we now have the Core P-series. The idea for this household—which focuses on providing a mid-power choice between the 15W ULV processors and the 45W or 55W high-end processors—is not precisely new, however it was formalized into its personal product household within the earlier technology. The newest iteration of Core P-series sees updates very like these for the H-series above.
Meaning essentially the identical CPUs with a little bit of spit and polish to maintain them shiny. The last-Era Core i7-1280P has been moved down a spot to the Core i7-1370P regardless of that it is gained 300-400 MHz of turbo frequency and 100 MHz on its base frequencies and graphics frequency. The earlier 1270P obtained bumped misplaced to grow to be the Core i7-1360P, and it will get the identical upgrades. In the meantime, the Core i5-P fashions are just about unchanged apart from the additional clock fee, and the Core i3-1220P is gone completely.
For the littlest Thirteenth-Gen CPUs, we’re taking a look at 9 processors, solely eight of which put on “Core” branding. Two Core i7s, three Core i5s, and two Core i3s, all based mostly on the little 2P+8e die. All the Core i7s and the entire Core i5s hold all ten cores, whereas the Core i3-1315U drops half of its E-cores after which the Core i3-1305U moreover loses considered one of its P-cores. The Core i3 SKUs additionally miss extra of their graphics, dropping them to 64 EUs.
As anticipated, seemingly because of course of refinements, all of those chips are clocked greater than their last-Era counterparts—even when solely by 100 MHz within the case of the Core i3s. The Core i5s choose up 200 or 300 MHz, and the top-end mannequin grabs a whopping 400 MHz of max turbo frequency, placing its peak at 5.2 GHz. Fairly unlikely that processor will persist at that frequency for lengthy with that 55W max turbo energy, although.
For the reason that launch of the last-Era Core cellular chips, Intel has retired its Pentium and Celeron manufacturers, so probably the most cut-down type of Raptor Lake cellular is called the “Intel Processor U300”. It is very carefully associated to the Pentium 8505 from final 12 months, with the identical components in the identical configurations proper right down to clock charges. Fortunately, Intel is not launching a CPU with out Turbo Enhance this time round.
Intel Thirteenth Gen Core Cellular Efficiency Claims In Element
Naturally, Intel has some slides promising potent efficiency enhancements, principally in productiveness apps. Within the case of the Raptor Lake HX processors, it is largely right down to the eight additional E-cores giving a strong bump to multi-core grunt, like in these Blender benchmarks the place the Core i9-13950HX beneficial properties almost 80% over its last-Gen equal.
Features in Autodesk and the Adobe suite are extra modest, however nonetheless nothing to smell at for certain. These are the sorts of duties that we would normally suggest customers do on a desktop machine, however then, that is primarily a desktop processor, so in case your laptop computer is cooled correctly (and plugged-in), the Core i9-13950HX crushes these duties.
The additional L2 cache and bump to turbo clocks advantages the programs’ gaming efficiency, as nicely. The beneficial properties aren’t as nice as desktop Raptor Lake’s, however these chips cannot use limitless energy to clock to the ceiling, both.
Intel touts some efficiency beneficial properties for the Twelfth-Gen Core “H” collection processors too, though it is actually simply the one benchmark. This web page compares the Core i9-13900HK towards the Core i9-12900H in addition to two rivals from rival corporations, and it comes away with a 10-11% achieve towards its personal last-generation half in BAPCo CrossMark’s three classes.
The Evolution Of Intel Evo Laptops Continues
Lastly, Intel’s Undertaking Athena has blossomed into what the corporate calls “Evo”. That is primarily a platform-marketing program not not like the corporate’s “Ultrabook” or “Centrino” initiatives of years previous. Intel Evo laptops combine an excellent many particular options and capabilities, with the intention that Evo laptops provide a baseline set of capabilities, efficiency and consumer expertise. The picture above outlines precisely what these capabilities are as of immediately, and Intel says it has over 100 Evo designs on the way in which from “>15 OEMs.”
Apart from the Evo platform programs, Intel additionally says it has “60+” designs on the way in which based mostly on the desktop-class Core HX processors, in addition to “over 250” designs sporting the Thirteenth-Gen H-, P-, and U-series CPUs. Search for laptop computer designs based mostly on the brand new Thirteenth-Gen Core CPUs to be out there quickly this quarter.

Game Of Thrones fans are still demanding a season 8 remake (Picture: HBO/Rex)
Game Of Thrones fans are keeping their fingers crossed that David Benioff and D. B. Weiss are working on remaking season 8 after a mysterious message on the show’s official Twitter page.
After a brand new trailer for the chapter was released earlier this week, a tweet that referenced the most iconic lines from the franchise, the House of Stark’s legendary motto, was posted.
‘Winter is coming,’ it read.
The HBO fantasy is two days shy of celebrating its 10-year anniversary and fans are hoping the post signals that the controversial final series will be remade to mark the milestone.
‘God I hope that Game Of Thrones post means they’re remaking the last season,’ wrote one. ‘It was so bad that the show went from a pop culture phenomenon to nobody talks about it anymore. People still talk about Breaking Bad and that’s a show that sticked the landing.’
Echoing a similar sentiment, another penned: ‘I hope this means they’ll remake the last season. You could change it to be a Vision Bran or the Night King had and somehow the history changes.’
Winter is coming.
— Game of Thrones (@GameOfThrones) April 14, 2021
However, not everyone was confident that the cryptic tweet was hinting at a remake.
‘Guys, a lot of you need to hear this, @GameOfThrones is not remaking season 8. You will just have to be salty about it for the rest of your lives,’ one blasted.
‘I’m seeing the rumors that the tweet from the Game of Thrones account is hinting that they might remake the final season of Game of Thrones,’ another added.
Game Of Thrones came to an end two years ago (Picture: HBO)
‘I’m just going to call it now that there is no f*cking way that happens. Season 8 is always going to be what it is.’
The Game Of Thrones season eight finale aired in May 2019 and sparked uproar, with 2million people signing a petition calling for it to be remade with ‘competent writers’.
HBO president Casey Bloys shared his verdict as backlash against the fantasy epic continued to rage on.
‘There are very, very few downsides to having a hugely popular show,’ he said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in 2019.
‘But one I can think of is when you try to end it, many people have big opinions on how these characters’ stories should come to an end.’
While it looks like a remake isn’t on the cards, fans can get excited for the highly-anticipated prequel House Of The Dragon, which is expected to arrive next year.
Game Of Thrones is available to stream on HBO and NOW.

Proper puppy training is vital if you want to have the best possible relationship with your dog. Training can be stressful at times, but learning as much as you can beforehand can be extremely helpful. Use the tips in this article in your next puppy training session.
Crate training a puppy must establish the fact the the crate is the new home of the puppy. You should put their food in the cage and leave the door open if it is time for them to eat. This will help him associate good things with his crate.
You can use a few tricks when crate training your dog or puppy. If your dog doesn’t want to enter the crate, put a chew bone inside the crate, then close to door. They will see and smell the bone and will want you to let them in there to get it. When he does, praise him for it so he knows it was a good thing to do.
Always give your puppy plenty of toys to chew on to help with teething pain. Otherwise, you might find your shoes becoming chew toys. Then, give it something that it is allowed to chew on if it likes. If your puppy is in a lot of pain due to teething, a frozen wet washcloth is ideal for him to chew on.
Do not use shock collars. They are often scams and, in any case, are completely unnecessary to proper dog training. They can cause your dog to be confused about all their behaviors. Generally, techniques such as these actually produce negative results.
A consistent schedule of feeding and potty-time is very important when house training your dog. This can help you avoid accidents on the carpet by becoming aware of when the dog needs to go. A schedule will train your dog to know when he will get to go out next.
You have to have patience when you are training your dog. Using patience helps prevent frustration for both you and the dog. Bear in mind that your dog wants nothing more than to please you; however, your language is somewhat confusing to him.
The daily training sessions with your dog should be fun. Playful interaction strengthens the bond between you, and will have your dog striving even harder to please you during training. In addition to your daily training sessions, take time out for simple play. Make this uncomplicated and fun for your dog.
One of the most important things to teach your pet is to listen to your voice. This article has some tips laid out for successful training. Puppy training is an act that requires dedication and patience, so stick with your dog and train it. Obedience training comes down to patience and repetition.

You can buy fairly cheap 3D cameras, the USB type. The hardware I used isn't available anymore. The company was bought by Microsoft and the technology incorporated into kinect.
These return a 2d array of distances, so you can use it to record facial expressions.
Turning these frames into something you can render quickly is a different issue, you would have to do some serious coding.
Another approach would be to get a standard head mesh, there are some free ones on the net somewhere. You can get mouth shapes from them and use some kind of text to speech system to animate the mouth then mix in emotions based on observation of the actors.
Have a look at this to give you an idea of what I mean
Posted 30 March 2014 - 08:08 PM
If you want a dynamic mesh, 4d photogrammetry / videogrammetry
Otherwise, you create a facial rig using a huge number of bones and blend-shapes, and then use an algorithm that can look at the dynamic mesh produced from above and automagically choose the best weights for your bones/blends that will recreate the same mesh pose.

Today I’m sharing a card that our son Bertie created recently for his Daddy. A Piece of Cake seemed only right and fitting a stamp set to use to accompany a homemade Birthday Cake.
A few more than three candles needed but with a scattering on the back panel, I think we have it covered. Bertie does love the ease of using a Punch and also winding a piece of cardstock through the Bigshot to emboss. Instant results with some mechanical movement in the process. It’s quite simply a piece of cake.
We’d have been celebrating in a very different way had we not been in lockdown. Instead, we will bake a Birthday cake and share some quality time together and a movie.
Bertie chose this colour combination of So Saffron, Pretty Peacock and Gray Granite. He enjoyed randomly stamping the candles over the back panel.
He had this card made in no time once he chose his colours. Looking for inspiration around my craft room, he liked the look of the mosaic embossing folder and pulled together the various elements to share with his daddy.
I hope you like his creation.

Gasoline generators are generally the most common and can be very inexpensive. Many however, are not of the highest quality and may not provide a very long service life. When buying a gasoline generator for all but the most temporary aplications, try to select one with a pressurized lubrication system and an overhead valve train. These models will last longer and be more fuel efficient than their lawnmower engine type counterparts. Some of the high quality gasoline powered units will provide 1000 hours or more of dependable service.
Natural gas or LP powered generators typically last longer than their gasoline powered counterparts. Several high quality, low rpm generators are on the market that should provide several thousand hours of operation without major repairs. A primary consideration for this type of generator (or any generator) is the economical availability of fuel. In most parts of the country natural gas is cheap and readily available, but in some areas this is not the case. For example, in most of Alaska operating this type of generator could prove twice as costly as operating a similar gasoline fueled powerplant.
Diesel generators are arguably the most expensive and noisy of the lot, but the high quality low rpm models offer unparalelled longevity and fuel economy. Initial cost is typically higher than gasoline or natural gas units, but because of their longevity the investment is typically worthwhile. Special care should be taken with diesel gensets to operate them near 70% of their capacity most of the time to achieve the longest possible service life. Quality diesel gensets can provide power over a service life of 10,000 + hours.

Therefore. it was quite a gamble for Rare. which has produced some of the N64's ﬁnest titles. to go for Conker’s Bad Fur Day. a title that buries its humour way below the level normally known as ‘crude'. There are some very good pieces of gameplay involved in Conker's search for a hangover cure. and the jokes aren't the worst you've ever heard. but it takes a while to get to the meat of the game. And some may ﬁnd the weight of the fart gag count just too much before then. Ordinarily Conker's would be a success. However. will enough people dig out their forgotten N64 to enjoy the pleasure?

SCIENCE FICTION PITCH BLACK (15) 108 mins .00.
David Twohy's science ﬁction chiller really delivers the goods, right from the opening scene during which a spaceship crash lands dumping its crew and travellers on a barren, inhospitable planet. As the Robinson Crusoes in space - among them a criminal, bounty hunter, pilot and priest - attempt to overcome their differences to survive, the planet of perpetual day (it has two suns) suffers a rare eclipse. What then becomes perpetual night unleashes predatory natives on the castaways.
Relatively low budget, but with enough cash to facilitate a decent cast and very respectable sfx, Pitch Black’s real strength lies in its leanness. There’s no wastage, no pretence, just a clever idea, riveting storytelling and a series of thrilling set-pieces, building to a surprising climax.
Twohy has been writing and directing good, solid sci-fi and horror films for the past 23 years, and Pitch Black is his best film to date. You may not remember Warlock, Timescape and The Arrival, largely relegated to video and television in the UK, but you’ll certainly be familiar with the Hollywood blockbusters he’s penned to finance his own work: The Fugitive, Waterworld, GI. Jane. Big name directors, including drippy Kevin Costner, ought to take a leaf out of Twohy’s book, and jettison delusions of grandeur in favour of modest, unpretentious filmmaking.
Next up for Twohy is lmposter, his adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story for director Gary Fleder, and Below, which Twohy is directing from a script by Darren Aronofsky. We await with pleasure.

In the nature of things it is impossible for any child born of woman to go unredeemed, for the moment he says, “I am,” he is proclaiming all that is divine in his flesh. Therefore, God cannot cast away that which constitutes the “I” of man without casting himself away, and that is impossible.
Scripture teaches in the form of parables, and we must learn to distinguish between the parable told and its message. In the 18th chapter of the gospel of Matthew we read that he placed a child in the midst of them and said, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.” The word ‘‘angel’’ means ‘‘a messenger; to bring forth,’’ and the word translated “child” means “an infant; a term of endearment.” Here we find a child is always beholding the face of the Father who is in heaven and bringing forth his message by becoming what he beholds.
The reality of man is symbolized as that of the Christ-child, the incorruptible seed which is always beholding the face of the Father, molding man’s reality into the Father’s image that he may become one with his Father. Casting his shadow into a certain role, we judge the role, not knowing that the innocent child is doing it as he molds himself into the image of the Father.
In the world we play our parts by saying, I am rich, I am poor, I am known, I am unknown; yet all the while the innocent Christ-child (this incorruptible seed) is beholding the face of the perfect one, molding itself into the image of that which it beholds. It is my desire to constantly see truth so clearly that I become its image and share it with everyone who will listen.
Not understanding the horrors of the world, man thinks he is damned and not saved; but I tell you, every child born of woman is already redeemed. The being that is the child’s reality is molding himself into the image of the Father and becoming what he beholds. But in the world he is casting himself into the many parts to be played. At the moment he may be playing the part of a rich man or perhaps a poor man; still he is free to choose yet another state by applying the precept, “Whatever you desire, believe that you have it and you will.”
You are always molding yourself into the image of what you are beholding, whether in this world of death or that world of life. But your Christ-child is always beholding the face of your Father and molding himself into his likeness, that you may know who you are and say within yourself, “I am He!”
This seems fantastic, but it is true, for I am telling you what I know, not what I am theorizing or speculating about. No one can fail. God hardened Pharaoh’s heart so that he could not let his people go. Then giving them blow after blow, he again hardened his heart – so who is responsible? The child is dreaming he is Job as he casts his shadow and plays the many parts. But in the end you will understand why you put yourself through hell, and you will be given a hundred times more than you had before.
You are playing a role now, and have played unnumbered roles in the past. Many of you here are playing the last role, but every role was for the purpose of molding you into the image of that which you are beholding. Always beholding the perfect image, hopeful that you will not deviate from it, you will become an image of truth.
Now he tells you, “If you abide in my Word you will know that I am the truth.” You will know this when God’s son sets you free, and when your son sets you free, you are free indeed. In the meantime you are molding your face into the image of that which you are beholding. Now you see only the shadow world, but if you believe me and remember my words in your moments of despair, they will support you in your times of trouble.
In the 8th chapter of Proverbs, the little child tells us, “In the beginning, when the Lord created the universe, I was beside him as a little child. I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always. He who finds me, finds life. He who misses me, injures himself; all who hate me, love death,” for they are in love with this world of death.
When you view consciousness you must see the two relationships: the pure, unconditioned I AM, and the conditioned I AM. Now conditioned, I am aware of being Neville, a speaker and teacher. Another condition placed upon pure awareness is that of a banker, a lawyer, or that of a thief. These are all conditioned states of being the little child has cast you into, and you are playing your part perfectly.
You do not see that little child until the end of the play, at which time you will hold that infant in your arms and your intense feeling towards him will come forward into speech. In my own case I said, “How is my sweetheart?” The child calls forth a term of endearment, for when you find that child, you find life. You find he who was beside the Lord when he created the world, and you will know that. He who misses me, injures himself, and he who hates me is in love with the world of death.
Everything here is mortal, and in time the billionaire will leave his billions and the honored general will leave his medals. The billions will decay and the medals will tarnish. Everything here will vanish and leave not a trace behind, but he who played the part of the millionaire and the general cannot vanish. He is that little child within, who was one with God, and is God. It is he who watches and changes the image until he is as perfect as his father in heaven is perfect. He is building the same image and when he reflects and radiates it, you will find that child and speak words of endearment to him.
The child is but a sign of your true being who is casting himself into these many roles. He cast me into the role of a poor boy, in a family with no intellectual, social or financial background. Then he brought me out as the perfect image of the Father for me to discover my own being. That is the story of everyone in this world.
Now, he gives you a cushion by telling you that, through the act of assumption, you can fulfill every desire of your heart. Knowing what you want, you must assume that you have it in the same sense that the Christ child is assuming he is what he is beholding. You must behold yourself as secure if that is your desire. You must behold yourself as healthy if that is what you want. You must feel yourself into the state desired with the same persistence as Christ in you is feeling himself into the image of the Father, for he never deviates from that wish.
When you know who you are, you will discover that you are free to be anything, go anywhere and possess every desire of your heart. You will also know that, no matter what you have gone through, what you are
going through or what you may go through, you will be redeemed, for he, in you, will not falter watching the face of the Father. As Blake said so beautifully, “You will see from what I teach, that I do not consider either the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state, but to be everyone of them states of the sleep into which the soul may fall in its deadly dreams of good and evil when it left paradise following the serpent.”
It was the serpent, the symbol of eternal life, that said, “Did God say you would die? I tell you, you will not really die, but will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Eating of the tree of good and evil, you remain in the world as you judge another; but behind your mask is the Christ child, who is molding you into the image of the Father. If you find yourself in a state you do not like, apply this principle and assume you are free from all encroachments, knowing in the depth of your soul that you are seeing the face of your Father.
When you first see him you do not know he is the Father. Just as a child knows its parents before he knows they are his parents, you will know God before you know he is the Father, and you know the Father before you know he is yourself. This is how consciousness awakens in the world.
The son of man comes to save those who are lost by their wandering consciousness. You simply wandered from the state, that is all. You are not lost. When you say, “I am” you are in, of and moving towards the I AM. Always in him and of him, you are moving towards consciously thinking from being the one I AM. Everyone is moving towards being that I AM, for everyone is in imagination, of imagination, and moving towards knowing consciously that he is all imagination.
Everything in this world invites you to wander away from the I AM. Urged to believe in that pill, this diet, a man, you move away from your true identity and become lost as your consciousness wanders. But it doesn’t really matter, for you cannot be lost, as the son of man will come. He is the one in whom the ideal has been realized. Called Jesus, he is the personification of the incorruptible seed which awoke, budded, flowered, and bore its fruit. And in that state you move towards Fatherhood when your son David reveals your true identity.
Last lecture night I tried to make my message clear, but there were those who did not understand, so I shall repeat it briefly now. The message is simple. In scripture, the expression “Christ” is used of the human race and of the human who has achieved the ideal. The human race, with all of its generations and experiences, is personified as the eternal youth, David.
Now the being in whom the ideal is realized, is called Jesus, who is God the Father, whose son is David. Everyone in whom the ideal is attained is Jesus, and in the end there is Jesus only, who is the one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one God, and Father of all. You, individually, will attain the ideal when you are confronted by your son who bears witness to the fact that you are God the Father.
This may not be the easiest thing to grasp, but you dwell upon it. Lean against this truth in time of trouble. That is what Paul meant when he said, “I consider the sufferings of this present time not worth comparing to the glory that is to be revealed in us.” Paul never doubted this heavenly vision was the promise God made to the fathers, but he didn’t spell it out. I am trying my best to make it as clear as possible. The sum total of your experiences in this world of humanity – no matter how cruel they may have been – when fulfilled, produce David; so in the end you will say, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
On this level we judge and condemn, but these parts must be played by you, an individual, before you can produce David, and when you see David you know you are God the Father and that is Jesus.
Now, he calls a child and puts him in the midst of them saying, “Let no one despise one of these, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father, who is in heaven.” Why? Because a man always becomes what his “I” beholds. You can take anyone and represent him to yourself as the man (or woman) you would like him to be and, if you do not waver in that representation, he will conform to it. If you want someone to be big in your world, you must make him big in your mind first, and treat him that way morning, noon and night. If you see him as that being, he cannot fail, because he must become what you behold. But you cannot waver. The moment you listen to a rumor, you change the picture, and you cannot.
Many years ago I read the story of famous theatrical mothers and their sons. One was Milton Beryl. He was her only child and she built her world around him. She would join the group of boys playing ball and tell them that Milton was the star, and whatever he said, they were to do. If they did not, she would take their ball and bat away. The story listed a dozen such children whose mothers held that ideal of their sons in their mind’s eye. They did not falter and therefore their sons could not fail. They had to become what their mother beheld of them.
If a mother compares her son to another child and finds hers wanting, she has broken the image. She sees him less than, but she must see him as great and never falter in her image of him if she really wants him to be great.
Now, there is something in you that has never taken his eyes off the face of the Father and will not deviate until you are perfect. In the meantime, it casts its shadow and you play the part of a bum, a part necessary to bring the image into focus. Then it will cast another image and yet another until you are perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.
But what is the reality of your flesh? “I am.” When you say “I am” you are proclaiming that which is divine and cannot be cast off unless God is willing to lose himself, for the “I” in you is God. Therefore, God cannot fail to achieve his predetermined goal, which is to fashion himself into and eventually become the Father.
What a mystery! Just think, before that the world was, you were predestined to become its author, its actor and the one who supports and sustains it. You, who have played many horrible parts, are Jesus. And when your image is perfect, you will awaken as he who is God, the Father of humanity. And when humanity is gathered together into a single being and projected, you will see your son David. That is the mystery.
What the next play will be I do not know. I only know that, until everyone has awakened, this play is not complete. So, don’t criticize, or condemn, because – from above – we will aid every being here to come home. We are the ones called, “Those who came to save the lost.” First we seek him, then save him by bringing that wandering consciousness back to the vision of the Father. Now my one consuming desire is to see truth so clearly that I become an eye-witness and can tell my experiences just as they happen [to] me.
I am not asking you to stop giving your money to charity if – in the giving – it gives you pleasure; but giving to the poor and needy is not going to save you. Only that which is in you, whose face is focused on the eternal Father, can save you by becoming what he is beholding. As he sees it, he casts its shadow.
Knowing you need a certain experience embodied, he casts its shadow, yet gives you a cushion, telling you that whatever you desire, if you will but believe you have received it, you will. You may now be cast in the role of a poor man, but you need not anchor yourself there by claiming you cannot become rich. Rather, you can cast yourself in the role of a rich man by believing you are rich. You can cast yourself, consciously, into any role you desire to express while you are molding yourself into the image of the Father.
The Bible is filled with wonderful stories which the scholars have misunderstood. Like the one I quoted today. “He put the little child in the midst of them.” Scholars wonder who the little child was and what became of him, for they read it as a secular story and the Bible hasn’t a thing to do with any happening on earth. Jesus is not a man of secular history. He is a representative of every man within whom that incorruptible seed blossomed and bore its fruit. The resurrection, the birth, the discovery of the Fatherhood – all of these are the fruit you are bearing.
There is nothing comparable to this truth. If you owned the world, what would it matter if tomorrow you died and left it all? What would be the point of living if there were no end to this mortal life? But what I am telling you is true. You are an immortal being who cannot die. Dead though the body seems, you, its reality, cannot die for your I AM is God. There never was another God and there never will be another God.
You are slowly awakening to the realization that you are the God who created everything and that no one is greater than the other. In this world we all try to be better than the other, but when the truth is revealed, we will know that there is only one son and only one Father. And, if I am the father of David, and you are the father of David, are we not one? Then we will understand the great Sh’mah: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord is one.” He is the one Father, and cannot be two, but if he is a father there must be a son to bear witness to his fatherhood. If you have the identical experience as I do are we not one?
So in the end there is only one God, one Father, and one son. The one fell asleep and is dreaming this scattered, divine state into being. In the end we all will awake as the one who fell asleep, yet we will not lose our identity. I will love you dearly as a seeming other, yet know that we are one. It’s a peculiar mystery. We are all God the Father, for there is no other being. God first reveals himself as almighty power, then as “I am” and finally as infinite love, the Father.
So, why are we here? Blake put it beautifully: “We are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love.” In your present state you could not stand the beams of love, for God’s infinite love is sheer power. We see power used in going to the moon, and we contemplate going to Venus and Mars, but the power to get us there is as a firecracker compared to your true being who brought the world into being and sustains it.
One day the play will be over and, I don’t care what a man has ever done, he will awaken as God. Put yourself now, in the part of a father whose son is accused of a horrible act. Loving your son, would you not want him to go free? I know I would. I would regret that he did it, but I would forgive him and want him to go free.
Read David’s story carefully and you will find that there is not a thing that man could do that David did not do. He sent Urias into battle, knowing he would be killed so David could have Bathsheba. Although he had a thousand wives of his own, he stole a man’s wife because he wanted one more; yet he was called the perfect man, the Lord’s son, “A man after my own heart who will do all my will.”
David is not a little man born of a woman. He is spirit. Personified as an eternal youth, David is the result of your journey into the world of death. When the Christ child, in you, has put you through all the generations of men and you have experienced everything you agreed to in the beginning, you are perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect, and you have formed David, your son, to reveal you to yourself. The world thinks Jesus Christ is the son of God, but I tell you Jesus is the Lord. This is a mystery. David comes in the spirit and calls Jesus “Father.” Humanity is Christ, the son and Jesus is God the Father.
I cannot open your skull and force the solution to this mystery into it. I can only give it to you in words, but I can tell you that the day is coming when you will experience my words. Your skull will explode and you will experience everything said of Jesus Christ in the first person, singular, present tense. Cast in the major role, you will know you are he, even though you will remain a very limited being in this world of mortality. You came into this world of death to overcome it, bringing with you the incorruptible Christ seed who is beholding the Father, transforming you into his image. And since the Father cannot beget another, he is begetting himself.
But while you are here, take his wonderful precept and believe that you can have anything you desire. There is no restriction placed upon the power of belief. There is no need to first consult some holy man to see whether you should have it or not. You be the judge. Choose your desire and, to the degree that you are self-persuaded that you have it, you will get it. And, because we are all one, if it takes one million people to aid the birth of your assumption, they will do it, without their knowledge or consent, so you don’t have to ask anyone to aid you. They will do it not even knowing that they are. All you are called upon to do is to assume that you have it. An assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact. That is the principle.
Behind this fantastic play where you are awakening as God, we have a secondary state. In it you may be cast into the role of a poor man and need Caesar’s coins to meet his demands of taxes, rent and food. So you can render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s by assuming that you have that which Caesar demands, and remain faithful to that assumption.
In the meantime something else is taking place in you which is infinitely greater than Caesar’s world, for this world will come to an end, but the kingdom of heaven is forever as it is eternal. Caesar’s world is one of death, but the human imagination is eternal life. It is the human imagination who will reveal your true identity to you when you are perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect. Then you will see David, the sign that you have reached the end of the journey. Having played all the parts, you are the conqueror and your crown is waiting for you as your son reveals your Fatherhood. If the Lord tells David, “Thou art my son, today I have begotten thee,” and David calls you Father, are you not the one called God in scripture?
It seems so silly for a little man, one of billions, to make these extravagant claims, but they are true. Einstein was a man of small stature, but he conceived an idea that has changed the thinking of the entire world. So God, wearing the mask of a little man, takes it off to reveal his true identity, and the little man’s words, believed, will change the world.
So the little child was brought and put in the midst of everyone. Don’t despise him, for he is the one who was with me in the beginning of time. When I laid out the foundations of the world he was beside me as a little child. He was daily my delight, delighting forever in the affairs of men. He who finds him, finds life. He who misses him injures himself. He who hates him, loves death.
The little child is a symbol of you, molding yourself into the image of the Father. You are casting yourself into these shadow worlds and when you are perfect you will radiate your Father and bear the very stamp of his nature. Then David will stand before you, in the Spirit, and call you “Father.”
Now let us go into the silence.
March 17, 1969
The Bible is the most practical book in the world. In it we are told that one named Simon carried the cross behind Jesus. The word “Simon” means “to hear with understanding and consent to what is heard.” And Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination.
The gospel tells what happens in the soul of Jesus. The events recorded there are seen and heard by none save but Him. Through these experiences He gains the certainty that He is not only the Son of God, but also God Himself. But when he tells his story few will accept it, as his experience of scripture differs greatly from its interpretation by the priests and rabbis. Simon, however, understands what he hears and, consenting to it, he carries the cross.
We are told to “Bear ye one another’s burden and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Now, the law of Christ is described in the Sermon on the Mount. It is a psychological law, as Christ tells you in the 5th chapter of Matthew, saying: “You heard it said of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you, anyone who looks lustfully upon a woman has already committed the act with her in his heart.’” (The word “heart” and “soul” are synonymous in scripture.)
When you are told in the 4th chapter of Psalms to “Commune with your own heart upon your bed,” are you not communing with yourself? And in that communion are you not told that the act is committed? I tell you: the law of Christ is imaginal and you carry His burden, for “Inasmuch as we do it to one of the least of these, we do it unto Him.”
Paul, seeing the meaning of Christ, said: “From now on I regard no one from the human point of view, even though I once regarded Christ from the human point of view, I regard him thus no longer.” Paul realized that Christ was the pattern of salvation buried in every child born of woman, and did not seek a little Christ, but the universal Cosmic Christ buried in all.
There is only one Christ, so when you imagine, you are imagining Christ. Now, one who hears and believes this is called Simon. It is he who goes out and carries the cross by lifting the burden from the back of the one being who is carrying the entire cross; for every human is a cross, who collectively form the cross the Cosmic Christ bears.
When one hears the story and believes it, he goes out to lift the weight of every cross. Seeing someone struggle to pay rent or buy food because he is financially embarrassed, Simon lifts his cross by seeing the man gainfully employed. He does this because he knows he is doing it only to himself, as there cannot be another. As a psychological act, he represents the other to himself as he would like to see that other, and to the degreehe is self-persuaded that what he imagined is true, it will become true.
Simon does not move a cross from one little point in space to another. He goes through life following Christ, as he bears the cross and lifts the weight of mankind. Many a man remains behind the 8-ball because no one ever thought he could be anything other than what he appears to be. Fortunately I had a mother who, at a tender age took me aside and persuaded me that I was her favorite. She would say: “You will make mother very proud of you, won’t you?” and naturally I said: “Yes, mother.”
I wore long white curls at the time, and she would curl my hair, run her finger up my curl, kiss me, and send me on my way – then call the next one to have his hair curled. Mother told the same story to each of us. It was only after we had all grown to manhood that we discovered what mother had done, but by that time she had accomplished her purpose. She didn’t expect us to make a fortune but to be one in whom she would be proud, and in our own separate spheres we all became successful in her eyes.
Many a man is a failure today because no one ever believed he could be otherwise. So I say to you: if you believe that there is only one being and only one cross, you will lift the cross from a seeming other, and – as Simon – follow your imagination to its fulfillment.
Every child born of woman is a cross, animated by Christ Jesus; so when you lift the burden from an infant or one of many years, you are doing it unto yourself. As you bear one another’s burdens you fulfill the law of Christ; for inasmuch as you do it to one of the least of these, you have done it unto me. If you believe me and put your belief into practice, you are bearing the cross.
But if you are so engrossed in your own little world that you cannot see another as a projection of yourself, you do not believe me and will not become a Simon. Only as you believe and act, will you bear the cross as Simon, enter the temple in the Spirit, and – finding the child – take him up in your arms and say: “Lord, let now thy servant depart in peace according to thy Word, for my eyes have seen the salvation of God.”
Called a little child in the Book of Luke, God’s creative power is symbolized as the unveiled arm in the Book of Isaiah. In this wonderful 53rd chapter of Isaiah, the prophet speaks of the unveiling of the arm of God as the salvation of the world. And when the prophecy is fulfilled it appears as though you are betrayed, but I ask you: what did Judas betray? He betrayed the messianic secret of Jesus and the place where he might be found.
A secret must first be heard before it can be told. I have betrayed the messianic secret in my book called Resurrection, so I have played the part of Judas. Having experienced the part of Jesus, I have recorded my experiences so that anyone coming after I have gone from this sphere will know the secret.
The messianic secret is unlike that which the priesthoods of the world believe. Jesus is not a little man who comes from without to save mankind. Jesus comes from within, for He is a pattern, which unfolds in and reveals the individual as the Son of God who is God. Knowing my scripture, when the visions came upon me I searched and found they dovetailed one another. I have shared my experiences with everyone who will listen; and those who hear them with understanding and accept them become Simon, who picks up the cross and eases the burden from the back of the Cosmic Christ.
When you meet someone who is unemployed and take a moment to imagine him gainfully employed, you are Simon. Practice this art daily. Pick up your cross and set everyone free from what he seems to be. That is how you bear one another’s burden and so fulfill the law of Christ, which is all imaginal.
If you hear this message with understanding you will go out and fulfill the law of Christ. If you do not understand me you may not agree, but I tell you: this is the most incredible story that can ever be told. You need not have a brilliant mind to accept it. In fact, the more brilliant your mind is, the less chance this concept will be believed, yet I tell you it is true. Everyone who accepts it will one day experience scripture within himself, for the gospel is nothing more than that which happened within the soul of Jesus, who is Jehovah, who is the Lord, in you.
Jesus is your awareness of being, your I AM. It is He who hears the story and either accepts or rejects it. If you think of a man who lived two thousand years ago when I use the word “Jesus,” you will not see the Jesus in everyone; for Jesus is awareness, sound asleep and carrying a tremendous burden as His dream. If you will accept my story, Jesus will begin to awaken as you lift his burden and carry the cross behind your imagination. Simon is first seized, and then the cross is placed upon him as the individual who hears and understands and consents to what he has heard.
If you really believe me you will not pass anyone without doing something to lift his burden. Taking up his cross, you will represent him to yourself as you would like to see him; and to the degree that you are self-persuaded, he will become it, even though he may never know what you did. Things will happen in his world and he will become what you conceived him to be, not knowing who did it…but who did it? Christ, for there is only Christ in the world. You can take no credit in the doing, because you are only doing it to yourself.
As you represent another to yourself as you would like to see him, you are lifting his burden and fulfilling God’s law. And when your time is fulfilled you will enter the temple and find the sign of the birth of your creative power as a child wrapped in swaddling clothes. Then the arm of God, who creates everything, is unveiled in you and from that day on whatever you imagine will come to pass – I don’t care what it is.
I ask you to dwell upon this thought and follow the pattern of Simon. Lift the burden of someone today, and maybe tomorrow you will be able to do it to two. Don’t let another remain carrying his burden, because there is no other. Lift his burden from yourself and follow Jesus Christ, your own wonderful human imagination.
The dream of life begins with the call of Abraham, and comes to its climax and fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Everyone must and will experience that climax. Then the curtain will come down and you will leave this sphere to join the heavenly brotherhood, who contemplates this world of death saying: “What seems to be, is – to those to whom it seems to be.” Take that one little statement: what seems to be is to those to whom it seems to be.
You can assume any state and persuade yourself that it is so, and it will become so. Torments, despair, and eternal death will also seem to be, “But Divine mercy steps beyond and redeems Man in the body of Jesus”; for in the end there is only one body, only one Lord, and you are that one Jesus Christ. You will wear that one Risen Body as your own and be the one Spirit that inhabits it. And you will know yourself to be that one Spirit who is the Lord of all.
Today you are not aware of your true identity, but Paul made it very, very clear in his 2nd letter to the Corinthians, when he said: “If we have been united with Christ in a death like his, we certainly shall be united with him in a resurrection like his.” Do you see the difference in tense? We have already died with Christ, and we will live with him when God’s pattern of salvation erupts and the gospel unfolds within us individually.
Now, whenever I tell my story there are always those who – knowing me by my physical origin – do not know me by reason of my spiritual birth. Seeing only the outside man called Neville, they judge from appearances and claim I am blaspheming by making these bold claims. But a few will believe me and become Simon by lifting the burden and transforming the lives of those he meets, no matter that it may seem to be.
If you want more money, better health, or the state of marriage, Simon simply hears your desire as granted, then goes his way believing that what he has heard is now a physical fact which will confront you in the near future. He never seeks your thanks, but knows your desire must come into being; for he has lifted your burden upon his shoulder and believes in his own wonderful human imagination.
When you hear and believe in God’s pattern of salvation, you are believing in Jesus. Everyone contains that pattern – therefore everyone is Jesus. Leave no one distressed. Do not give from your pocket, but give them every desire of their heart from your imagination. You could give money from now until the ends of time, and not give of yourself! Only when you imagine for another are you truly giving of yourself; and as you believe in the reality of what you have imagined, are you lifting the burden you are called upon to do, thereby fulfilling the law of God.
When you feel the joy of having done it, don’t wait for the phone to ring; simply go your way and lift the burden from another, and then another. An artist friend recently told me about some work he had done for a friend, but had not been paid according to their verbal agreement. After our discussion I heard my friend tell me the debt was paid. That was all I did. Last night he told me that, seemingly out of the blue, the man came to his house and gave him a check for the full amount agreed upon. Now I will say to him that check will be multiplied over and over again, for there are many artists needing your talent to improve theirs.
Don’t say something cannot be done, for the minute you do, you are placing a limit upon yourself. And don’t limit your friend because of his financial, social, or intellectual background. That’s a heavy cross for him to bear. Rather, lift his cross and set him free. We live in a world of horrors, but as Blake said: “Don’t be intimidated by the horrors of the world. All is ordered and correct and must fulfill its destiny in order to attain perfection. Follow this pattern and you will receive from your own ego a deeper insight into the eternal beauties of reality. You will also receive an even deeper release from all that now seems so sad and terrible.”
When you know this truth, you will lift the burden of all those you meet, for you will know that regardless of the pigment of his skin, the tongue in which he speaks, his belief, or nationality – you and he are one, for God is one. The great Sh’ma of the Hebrew confession of faith “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one,” will take on new meaning.
If God is one, there cannot be another; so in the end you and I will be the same father of the same son. I have been sent to convey that one thought to the world. I have taught it through the spoken word and recorded it in my book, Resurrection, that God’s true son is David. I have now completed the work I was sent to do.
The priests do not know the mystery. They are men without vision, reading a book they do not understand. To my mother, a priest was a wise man who could not be contradicted. I never argued with my mother about that, but I knew she was wrong. As a boy I had visions and knew the priests did not know what they were talking about; but mother could not understand how her little, uneducated boy could challenge that which she considered the wise men, because they could speak Latin and read Greek. But I knew their knowledge came from study, while my wisdom came from vision.
Having matured, I have been called and sent to reveal the true Son of God who unifies humanity. We will all know that one son to be our own son, for he will reveal each one of us as God the Father. Jesus Christ in you is God the Father, and David (in you) is His son. The day will come when David will awaken in you, rise in you, and call you Father, giving you a certainty which cannot be denied. Maybe from what you have heard tonight you may change your belief, but you will never know the certainty of Fatherhood until you see David as your son. And when everyone sees David as his son, are we not the one Father?
Tonight I urge you to play the part of Simon. If you do, you will not be neglecting but helping yourself; for as told us in the story of Job, as he prayed for his friends his own captivity was lifted. While locked in his own desire to free himself of his physical, social, and financial problems, Job forgot himself and prayed for his friends, and in so doing all that he had lost returned to him one hundred fold. As you pray for your friends you will discover your own captivity is lifted; your cross becomes lighter and lighter until finally you are light itself.
So take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Ask for no thanks or financial gain in the doing; just know the joy of lifting the cross, for it is being lifted from your own shoulders. When I hear that a man’s needs have been provided for and he has become self-persuaded, it is true and it becomes true. I never tell him what I did. I simply revel in the joy and satisfaction of seeing this law of Christ fulfill itself. It never fails when put into practice.
Believe in the reality of your own imaginal acts, for faith is loyalty to unseen reality. Have faith in your imaginal act. Although unseen by the outer world as an external fact, your loyalty to its unseen reality will cause the unseen to become seen by the world. This is the practical side of this night. You and I can lift the cross from our own shoulders; for as I lift your cross I am lifting mine, and in a way I do not know the burden is lifted from me.
Everyone you meet is yourself made visible, for there is nothing but yourself in the world.
As you read these passages I have quoted tonight, pull them together and you will have a beautiful mosaic. Remember, when you do it to one of the least of these you have done it unto me, the one the world is seeking. You may see me as an insignificant little man, but I am Christ, the Lord God Jehovah. Lift my burden for even the most insignificant other, and go your way.
You may not recognize your harvest, as you may not remember the favor you granted another many years ago. Seeing him healthy and financially secure today you may forget what you did, and maybe even he will have forgotten he ever asked your help – but what does it matter? The burden has been lifted. Go forward and play the part of Simon, and the day when you least expect it you will find the symbol of your creative power as a child wrapped in swaddling clothes. And then the 53rd chapter of Isaiah will be fulfilled, as your arm of God is revealed.
When scripture unfolds within you, you will know a thrill that is beyond ecstasy. Then you will no longer see scripture as secular history. You will know from experience that the story is supernatural, and has nothing to do with history as we understand it. The events spoken of by the apostles did not take place on earth, but in the soul of man as he walks the earth.
I have shared with you that which took place in my soul in the hope that I will find a few who will believe me to the point of putting my words into practice.
I have unveiled myself to those who believe, and now they are beginning to be unveiled – while the rabbis and the priests who see me as an impostor remain veiled. Even to this day, when Moses is read the veil is on their minds. I pray for all of them because they are blinded to the truth by their refusal to accept any change in their fixed belief. I have come to do one thing: to make clear to the entire world who the true Son of God is who will unify the world.
Jesus Christ is God the Father and his son is David.
When David calls you Father, you will know you are Jesus Christ, the Lord. If I am God the Father, who is my son? David. I tell you, David is not a physical being. It is in Spirit that he calls you Father, and scripture is fulfilled. Everyone will be called Father by the one being who is David, and if he calls you Father and he calls me Father, are we not the same being? Are we not the one God and Father of all? I tell you, without loss of your individual identity, you will know that you and I are one.
Now let us go into the silence.
You must be persistent in attaining your desire. Continue to imagine what you want until you have actually obtained it. You do nothing else to obtain your desire. If it is necessary to take some action, you will be led to do so in a normal, natural manner. You do not have to do anything to “help” bring it about. Remember that it is God, Himself, who is doing the work and He knows exactly how to accomplish it. If you think of your desire during the day, give thanks that it is already an accomplished fact – because it is!
The Four Mighty Ones – June 17 1956
This morning’s subject is “The Four Mighty Ones”.
The history of humanity is little else than a long struggle with this infinite riddle – the riddle of the Four Mighty Ones. When Origen, one of the early church fathers, was asked why are there four Gospels, why not one, he answered and said because there are four quarters of the Heavens, north, south, east and west and, therefore, four quarters of the human soul. The Bible speaks of this riddle which we will quote from the Book of Proverbs, and I will tell you the promises made to the individual and to the nation who can answer or un-riddle the riddle.
It is veiled throughout from Genesis to the Book of Revelations; the four rivers, the four horsemen, the four creatures around the throne of God, the four men loose and walking in the fire; and the form of the fourth was like the Son of God; and they parted his raiment into four parts, and throughout, they speak of the four, but man cannot seem to un-riddle the riddle. This morning I hope to do it, and if I do it to your satisfaction so you walk in it, then certain things should happen to you. Now, let us see what should happen to us.
Can you now see how we are implanting the horrors of the world? Read the morning paper, watch television, or listen to the radio, and you will observe how their words frighten you in order to get your attention. See a headline that someone was murdered and you stop to read it. See another, saying things are fine, and you ignore it, as it would mean nothing. Read the scandal sheet, telling of some prominent person who has been unfaithful and you enjoy a bit of gossip. All of these are ideas implanted in the mind, which cause the rise and fall of nations.
When you appropriate a state as though you had it, the activity of the day will divert your mind from all anxious thoughts so that you do not look for signs. You do not have to carry the feeling that some presence is going to do it for you, rather you know it is already done. Knowing it is already a fact, walk as though it were, and things will happen to make it so.
“The word ‘repent’ means ‘a radical change of attitude’. Your attitude need not be towards another, but an attitude regarding self. If you feel you have nothing to live for you must repent by changing your attitude radically from that state. Don’t condemn yourself for the state into which you have fallen. If you don’t like it move into another. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, for if you do you will make the state a habit and remain there for the rest of your days on earth. Instead, you can believe this doctrine and move out of any state.”
“I know how I did it. Every natural effect has a spiritual cause, and not a natural. A natural cause only seems. It is a delusion. Well, I remembered what I did. It was only a matter of 24 hours between planting that seed and the springing of that seed into objective reality.”
“So we must learn to distinguish between states and the individuals who pass through these states. These states are eternal they are forever. You are an immortal being. And you move through states, the states remain, permanent forever. You pass on. We change states, the states do not change. We change states, but we the individual, we are forever. It is like moving through a city. The city remains, but we pass on. To think that because we have left the city that the city has ceased to exist would be stupid.“

JOAQUÍN ALMUNIA, the European Union’s competition commissioner, is confident that he can still reach a settlement with Google. Mr Almunia has been carrying out an investigation into the way the online giant runs its search engine since November 2010. In April he announced a tentative agreement with the company, in which Google promised various changes to the way it presents the search results of its own services and those of rivals and uses content belonging to publishers and other third parties. Those were roundly slammed by Google’s rivals, and in July Mr Almunia asked the company to have another go. On October 1st, in a meeting in Brussels organised by two members of the European Parliament to debate the Google case, he said that the firm had made new proposals that contained “significant improvements”. Negotiations had gone on until the day before. The new offer will be finalised in the next few weeks, and he will seek reaction to this too. The commissioner hopes to announce a settlement in the spring. “We have reached a key moment in this case,” he said.
Mr Almunia said he would not go into detail about the new proposals, but he still gave some hints. In the first lot, Google’s opponents complained, links to rival specialised services were not prominent enough. That, Mr Almunia thinks, has been fixed: they will get more space, and be allowed to put their logos next to the link. Google’s critics also disliked the auction mechanism proposed for allocating space to rivals in certain categories of search. The new proposal allows auctions for individual queries, which Mr Almunia thinks will help smaller operators.
At the meeting convened by the MEPs, which was still going on at the time of writing, Google’s critics, from rival search services, consumer groups and publishers, were well represented. Google, however, had declined an invitation to attend. Speakers were well prepared to criticise Google’s first set of proposals, but (understandably) not for Mr Almunia’s news. They will want a close look at the new suggestions—and are likely to demand a “market test” at least as rigorous as the one that poked holes in the first set.
Mr Almunia still has the option, if a settlement cannot be reached, of prohibiting some practices and imposing fines on Google. But he still thinks a settlement is the right option. He says that “we can use [legally binding commitments] to solve problems more quickly and concretely”. Emphasising the need for speed makes sense in such a fast-moving market. Yet it sounds a little odd in a case that, should a settlement be announced in the spring, will have lasted three and a half years.

Counseling centers at many universities are constantly trying to improve their value to the universities by identifying the students who have problems, and by making known to students the services that are available. Since many counseling centers are in direct contact with large numbers of students during the admissions testing program, it would seem that data gathered at this time should be carefully examined for clues that would aid a student in making a healthy and profitable adjustment to his university environment.
It has been observed by some counselors that students who seek counseling often have a wide difference between their measured Verbal and Quantitative abilities, Other clinical observations have suggested that students with a higher Quantitative than Verbal score often seem more disturbed than those whose Verbal ability exceed their Quantitative ability. In either case, regardless of which ability was high, it has appeared to some counselors that the wider the discrepancy between the two abilities, the more often a problem existed. From the above observations the present study was conceived and undertaken in an attempt to see if differences between Verbal and Quantitative ability scores might serve as a tool in identifying students with problems.
Since children normally learn verbal proficiency before acquiring quantitative skills, it was reasoned that if an individual has a high quantitative ability, he should, under normal developmental circumstances, also have an equally developed verbal ability. Therefore, in cases where the Quantitative score is high and the Verbal score is low, it was assumed that somewhere along the developmental growth process the individual may have been deterred, discouraged, or in some way blocked so as to hinder his verbal proficiency.
A study by Smith and Triggs (1950) suggested that a student's linguistic skill affects the extent to which he can make use of his quantitative ability. Smith and Triggs' study, along with the untested observations and hypothetical assumptions suggested above formed the basis for the present study.

I hope you all don't mind that I'm posting this here, but I had to share! (I'll post it on my family blog too). I recently returned from a week-long Cousins Camp (an annual family tradition) where usually only the cousins get to camp with the grandparents for a whole week in the summer at our family cabin in AZ. Well this year it was a reunion of sorts and all the families came to California over the 4th! As part of the camp my mom always has a treasure hunt and "trophies". This year the theme was "Like a Lighthouse", referring to Christ as our eternal beacon of light when we are on stormy, or calm, seas. The kids all got their own pocket-sized copy of the Book of Mormon as their trophy.
My 2-year old was ecstatic. Our nap and bedtime routine had been to read 2 library or other books and then Jeff or I would tell him a made-up story about a boy named Makai (who was actually him). He loved it and looked forward to sleepy times twice daily. Well, when he got his Book of "Norman" he told me, "Mommy we need to read Book of Normon stories before bed." Well, I'd been wanting to do that with him, but wasn't sure if he was ready. His request was gladly granted and every night since we've been home (and in our new house) we now read a chapter out of the illustrated (and highly condensed version) of the Book of Mormon as Corbin holds his own little Book of Mormon trophy treasure! It not only fills his bucket each night but mine too!
If you're not reading this with your kids yet because you think they're too young.... try it! You might be surprised how ready they are. And it's great to refer to it during the day when situations arise.... such as, "Are you acting like Nephi or Laman and Lemuel when you don't share with your brother?", etc. He gets it! Let's just hope it sticks! So, I'm curious, what do you do to fill your kids/families' buckets?
