2 TABLET MANUFACTURE FORMULATION AND PROCESSING Why are tablets the most popular dosage form for medicines?Tablet compressionWhat is a ‘good’ tablet?Tablet constituentsDirect CompressionGranulationSieving/millingBlendingCommon Tablet ProblemsQuestions
3 WHY TABLETS?90% of medicines are taken orally with the majority being tablets. Other routes of administration include injections, inhalation, rectal and topical. Why are tablets the most common means of drug delivery?
4 WHY TABLETS? Can be self administered Painless Accurate dose delivery Portable and discreetCan be packaged to aid patient complianceEasily identifiable (colour, shape, size, logo etc)Simple to useLow cost of manufactureNormally stable to heat and moistureNot easily contaminated with micro-organismsGood bioavailability for most drugsRelease can be modified
5 TABLET MANUFACTUREIn order to make a ‘good’ tablet the powder to be compressed must have the correct characteristics:The powder must be able to flow freelyThe powder must be compressible (bind together to form a tablet)The powder must be homogenous (uniform mix of active and excipient)The tablet must be able to be ejected freely from the die without damage
6 TABLET COMPRESSION Lower punch drops as die passes feed frame Powder fills to ‘over-fill’Lower punch rises to expel excess (weight control)Upper punch enters diePass between compression rollerUpper punch withdraws and lower punch risesTablet ejected by tablet take-off plate
7 What Is A ‘Good’ Tablet? Must contain the correct amount of active This is measured during the process by ATW and U of W measurementsHave suitable physical propertiesHardnessFriabilityThickness/DiameterDisintegration/dissolutionIn order to ensure a good tablet is made the granule may need pre-conditioning and addition of excipients will be necessary
8 GRANULE MANUFACTUREThree principle methods of preparing powder formulations for compressionDirect CompressionWet GranulationDry Granulation
9 DIRECT COMPRESSIONThis is the ideal option but is rarely achievable due to:Active particle size/density mismatch with excipients causing poor homogeneityLarge quantity per tablet of poorly compressible active resulting in weak friable tablets
10 DIRECT COMPRESSION Process flow for direct compression Dispense Security SieveLubricant BlendCompress
11 Problems Associated With Direct Compression If the material is a powder rather than a granule:it will have poor flow characteristics, which can lead to uneven tablet weights.The pressure transmission through a powder mass is poor, due to low packing density. Consequently particles do not ‘knit’ together very readily.Powders, especially fine ones tend to blow out of the die at the top and seep out at the bottomDusty powders tend to mix with oil/grease and eventually cause sticking of the punches in the dies or turret bores.Powders containing two or more components may segregate. The heavier or smaller particle size components separate to the bottom of the bulk, this is made worse by the vibration of the Tablet Press.Direct compression materials are more expensive than non-DC equivalents
12 Advantages of Direct Compression Few stages involvedLow handling costsLosses near zeroNo water or heat involvedReduces the risk of degradation of the active
13 PROCESS AIDSRegardless of whether a tablet is manufactured by direct compression or granulation, processing aids will be required:These materials are called excipients and are either:DiluentsLubricantsDisintegrantsGlidantsBindersDirect compression formulations will contain as a minimum diluents, disintegrants and lubricants.N.B. some excipients have more than one function
14 DILUENTSA diluent is simply an ingredient that is used as a bulking agent to make tablets large enough to handle and swallow.Diluents must therefore be:Pharmacologically inertCheapNo supply issuesCompatibleStableProcessableDiluents are commonly easily compressible especially in DC formulations.Examples include:Micro-crystalline celluloseLactoseDi-calcium phosphate
15 LUBRICANTSLubricants are materials that lubricate powder mixes and aid tablet ejection.Without lubrication powder may stick to the punches especially if is too moist.Lubricants are typically added at a late stage and blended for the shortest possible time as they have adverse effects.Adverse effects if over-blended are poor compressibility and increased dissolution due to waxy layer covering the surface of the granuleExamples include:Magnesium StearateStearic AcidTalc
16 GLIDANTS Glidants are materials that improve the flow of powder mixes An example is Colloidal Silicon DioxideMost powders, without the aid of flow agents, simply cannot flow at speeds required for high speed tabletting.Flow agents can decrease the capacity of powders to form bridges, create rat holes and stick to contact surfaces.Good flow into the die will lead touniform tablet weight as the volume ofmaterial flowing into the die will be constant
17 DISINTEGRANTSA material to promote disintegration of the tablet when swallowedEnhances water penetration by wicking effectIncreases porositySwells in contact with water and breaks cohesive bondsExamples include:StarchCroscarmelloseSodium Starch GlycollateCrospovidone
18 BINDERS A material that imparts cohesiveness to the formulation Helps bind powder particles into granules during granulationHelps bind granules together during the compression processExamples include:Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC in water)Starch paste in warm waterGelatinPolyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)
19 WHY GRANULATE? To improve powder flow. To improve compressibility. To reduce fines.To control the tendency of powders to segregate.To control density.To capture and fuse small quantities of active material.
20 TRADITIONAL WET GRANULATION Dispense Security Sieve Granulate Dry Moisture Test Sieve/Mill Lubricant Blend Compress
21 TRADITIONAL WET GRANULATION Most commonly performed using a high shear mixer e.g. ‘Fielder’ but can be performed using low shear e.g. ‘Hobart’.Fielder Granulator:Two blades, main blade and chopperMain blade speed is typically rpmChopper blade up to 3000rpmMain blade mixes and chopper breaks wet mass to form granules
22 TRADITIONAL WET GRANULATION Powders are loaded into the bowl and mixed for a defined time before granulation startsGranulating solution added at defined rate or sprayed (binder is usually incorporated into the solution)Wet mass is chopped to form granuleGranulation end point can be measured by current draw on main bladeProcess is controlled by the mixing times/speeds before and after addition of the granulating solution and the amount of solution added.Process relies on the binder and/or water soluble elements dissolving upon granulation, then on drying forming a solid bridge between particles.
23 ADVANTAGES OF WET GRANULATION Increases cohesivenessGood for high dose/poorly compressible drugsFor example Kalms has large amount of poorly compressible HopsGood for distributing soluble low dose drugsFor example in Kwells the hyoscine is added to the granulating solutionPrevents segregation of actives
24 DISADVANTAGES OF WET GRANULATION Processing parameters are derived by trial and errorMixing time varies with batch size and can be sensitive to variation in starting materialsDanger of over granulationCost (multi-stage process)Incompatibilities (chemical instability with moisture or subsequent drying)
25 A TYPICAL WET GRANULATION FORMULATION Wet BinderPolyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)Increases granule size strength and compressibilityEnhances dissolution relative to DCGranulation process aidMicro-crystalline celluloseReduces water/energy requirementsReduces process sensitivityLess risk of over granulationEasier wet massing and screeningIntra granular fillerLactoseBetter wet binding than insoluble fillersIntra-granular disintegrantCroscarmellose sodium
26 DRYING The removal of water or liquid to form a dry solid It is necessary as too much residual water can result in:Poor flowPoor lubrication (sticking to punches)Chemical instabilitySusceptibility to microbial growth2 main methodsTray dryingFluidised Bed DryingOthers include microwave and vacuum drying(not commonly used)
27 TRAY DRYING Fan assisted convection of hot air over loaded trays Not commonly used due to:Large floor spaceManual handlingLabour intensiveLong drying times (up to 24 hours)Can get non-uniform dryingCan result in hard caked product
28 FLUIDISED BED DRYINGHeated air is pulled through the bed of material in aremovable bowl.Filters prevent fines from escapingTemperature can be controlled by probes monitoringinput, output and bed temperaturesAirflow is adjusted according to particle size and densityMost efficient drying (minutes vs. hours)
29 SIEVING AND MILLINGSieving of the granule may be performed to remove large particles that may then be milled to reduce sizeOversize or all of the dried granule may be milled.Various types of mill are usually used depending upon the process requirementsMills used routinely at GR Lane include Comill (Cone mill), Apex and Tornado.
30 MILLING Comills (cone mills) produce granule of more uniform size and shape than Apex or Tornado millswith a smaller proportion of finesFines are powders that are very smalland ‘dusty’, which will pass througha 200 mesh screen.Fines impede the flow, do not compresswellMills may also be used to ‘de-lump’granules without reducing particle size.
31 MILLING Apex mills have the rotational shaft in a horizontal orientation vsTornado that is verticalTornado mills have 360° mill screens andconsequently produce marginally less finesthan an Apex mill that has a 180° screen.Both tornado and apex mills can be usedwith varying numbers of blades that throwmaterial against the mesh that controls themaximum particle sizeHammers may also be used. These pulverisethe material to a finer particle size
32 SPRAY GRANULATIONThis is when granulation and drying is combined in a one-pot processGranulation solution is sprayed into a fluidised bedThere is a greater degree of control over the size of granules formed.Control is via spray rate, inlet temperature and air flow.There are less losses by this methodGranule has an even moisture distributionHoweverHigher attrition may lead to finesControl of rates is criticalLonger process time (may lead to de-mixing)
33 DRY GRANULATING Dry granulating, also called slugging, or roller compaction, involves the pressing of mixedpowders into an object to be reground into aprecise powder.This action increases particle density, improvespowder flow and captures fines.Useful for materials which are sensitive to heatand/or moisture.Can be performed on tablet press followed by millingor by using specialised equipmentHowever pressure during dry granulation canresult in:granules with low porosityWeaker tabletsMay produce tablets with longer disintegration timeDusty process
34 BLENDING There are many different types of blenders Y cone blendersDouble cone blendersDrum blendersIBC blendersMajority are low shear tumble blenders. GR Lane hasopted for IBC blending to reduce handlingBlend studies are performed todetermine the determine theoptimum endpointGiven enough time, componentswill pass from an unblended stateto a relatively homogenous blend andback to an unblended state.
35 COMMON TABLET PROBLEMS Weight variationFriability variationCappingLaminatingChippingCrackingSticking/FilmingPickingBinding
36 WEIGHT VARIATIONWeight variation can be caused by a number of factors:Poor flow of granuleGranule too wetInsufficient glidantPoor granule homogeneityOver or under-blendedMaterial has settled over timeSeparation of fines in hopperPoor formulationTablet press set-upDropping punchesSticking punchesFeed frame speedUneven wear or damaged tooling
37 POOR FRIABILITY Poor friability can be caused by a number of factors: Low hardnessTablet press set-upOverblendingPoor granuleToo dryundergranulatedinsufficient bindertoo many finesInappropriate tablet shape
38 CAPPINGCapping is the term used, when the upper or lower segment of the tablet separates horizontally, either partially or completely from the main body of a tablet and comes off as a cap, during ejection from the tablet press, or during subsequent handling.Reason: Capping is usually due to the air–entrapment in a compact during compression, and subsequent expansion of tablet on ejection of a tablet from a die.Causes related to the formulation areLarge amount of finesGranule too dryGranule too wetInsufficient lubricantCauses related to the press:Ringing in diesLower punch remains below the face of die during ejection.Incorrect adjustment of take-off blade.High turret speedPossible remedial actions are:Move position of compression in dieAdjust take-off bladeSlow down press
39 LAMINATIONLamination is the separation of a tablet into two or more distinct horizontal layers.Reason: Air–entrapment during compression and subsequent release on ejectionCauses related to the formulation:Over lubrication of formulaOily material in formulaCauses related to the tablet press:Rapid relaxation of the peripheral regions of a tablet, on ejection from a die.Rapid decompressionPossible remedial action:Use tapered dies, i.e. upper part of the die bore has an outward taper of 3° to 5°.Use pre-compression step. Reduce turret speed and reduce the final compression pressure.
40 CHIPPING There are number of causes of chipping that can be due to: Machine setupInsufficient dwell timeCompression force too lowTooling wearworn punchesPoor granuletoo much finesGranule too dryInsufficient binderExcessive lubricantNot homogenous mixPossible remedial actionsIf clawed tooling, remove clawsIncrease pressureSlow down press
41 CRACKINGCracking is where small, fine cracks observed on the upper and lower central surface of tablets, or very rarely on the sidewallReason: It is observed as a result of rapid expansion of tablets, especially when deep concave punches are usedCauses related to the granule:Large size of granules.Too dry granulesCauses related to the tablet press:Tablet expands on ejection due to air entrapmentDeep concavities cause cracking while removing tabletsToo much pressurePossible remedial action:Use tapered dieUse special take-off plateReduce compression force
42 STICKING/FILMINGSticking refers to the tablet material adhering to the die wall.Filming is a slow form of sticking and is largely due to excess moisture in the granulation.Reason: Improperly dried or improperly lubricated granules.Possible remedial action:Increase pressure.Reduce speed.
43 PICKINGPicking is the term used when a small amount of material from a tablet is sticking to and being removed off from the tablet-surface by a punch face.The problem is more prevalent on the upper punch faces. The problem worsens with time into the run because more and more material is added to the already stuck material on the punch face.Common causes related to the granule:Excessive moisture in granulesToo little or improper lubricationToo warm granules when compressing.Too much binder.Common causes related to the tablet press:Rough or scratched punch facesUnpolished toolingInsufficient pressurePossible remedial actions:Increase compression pressurePolish tooling by handReduce press speed
44 BINDINGBinding in the die, is the term used when the tablets adhere or tear in the die. A film is formed in the die and ejection of tablet is hindered. With excessive binding, the tablet sides are cracked and they may crumble apartReason: Binding is usually due to excessive amount of moisture in granules, lack of lubrication and/or use of worn dies.Causes due to worn dies:Poorly finished diesRough dies due to abrasionPossible remedial action:Clean the dies properlyIf worn die is due to abrasion investigate use of other steelsReducing pressure in the tablet press may decrease binding.

Adalwolfa Becke bedroom, 2017-11-15 23:47:00. A step in the direction of creating lighter, airier, more ethereal design ideas, the Mariposa Headboard reduces an often overlooked or not directly considered piece of furniture to a thin sheet of methacrylate material, cut in the shape of wings and illuminated in subtle patterns with soft LED lighting. Named after the Spanish word for “Butterfly”, it looks feminine and delicate, glowing softly and dreamy, as only appropriate for a sleep alcove. A wonderful addition to a feminine contemporary bedroom, the Mariposa bed headboard inspires transparency and surrealism.
Adal Arbeit furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:43. Sometimes found in bedrooms, other times in bathrooms, vanity tables are often perceived as chic accessories. Their designs adapt to a variety of styles but, regardless of that, they always a certain bohemian flair about them. Vanity tables are always accompanied by a chair or a stool and a small makeup vanity can also include other accessories such as mirrors or extra storage. The vanity stool is just as important as the table or cabinet itself.
Adalwolfa Becke furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:44. This suspended wine glass rack is extremely interesting. The way it interacts with the light fixtures is intriguing. The two functions seem to become part of the same intricate design. The rack hangs above the dining table and can be accessed by all those sitting there. Under-cabinet wine glass racks are also practical and space-efficient. They can be combined with a wine rack and integrated into the kitchen furniture. The glasses can be placed above the sink, making it easy to wash and dry them.
Adolpha Dieter furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:45. In case you have some extra wallpaper or if you simply like the look, an interesting idea is to cover the top of the coffee table with wallpaper and maybe even coordinate with your ceiling or accent wall. It’s a simple and inexpensive upgrade and a great way to rejuvenate an old table with water stains on it. But enough with the coffee tables. Let’s also take a look at some projects involving the Lack side table. A very interesting idea is to cover the top of the table with pennies. For the project you need wood moulding, black paint, a picture frame mount, reinforced glass and around 621 pennies. It’s not a fast project but if you have time and patience, go for it.
Adalicia Bellerose bedroom, 2017-12-03 20:25:44. Adhering to this tried and tested framework, we came up with a list of catchy bedroom designs which not only borrow from the conventional school of thought, but also add a innovative little twist that makes them unique and inimitable; making them audaciously creative and innovative, but, above all, quite simple to replicate and bring to life.
Adaliz Bader furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:44. In his collection named for the Italian master, Knibb has taken the humble but iconic garments of modern society — jeans and t-shirts — and turned them into a work of art in marble. The designer says that at a distance, the table’s surface appears to be the disturbed surface of water. Indeed, when we first saw the pieces at ICFF, we weren’t sure what they were until we got close enough to see that the marble relief was clothing, including the finest of details: Ribbing, frayed hems, buttons and belt loops. It takes two Italian sculptors about about 700 hours to carve one of these tables. In a media interview, Knibb said that the first carver does a rough cut, and then second refines the piece, adding the details. Not only do the pieces look incredibly life-like, wrinkles and all, but you can see the veins of the marble in these amazing works.
Julian Achterop furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:45. Ikea Lack coffee tables are extremely versatile and they can even change function if you desire such a project. For example, you can turn such a table into a comfortable tufted ottoman. You might have to cut the legs a bit to make them shorter. Then use foam and fabric to make the cozy seat cushion and attach it to the table. There’s more than one way to give this coffee table a new look. So how about adding some mid-century charm to the mix? For this project you only need to use the top of the Lack table. You also need to find some tapered legs to use with it. So basically install the legs and make sure they’re symmetrical and stable.
Adette Brotz furniture, 2017-12-03 20:25:46. This is a very similar project and a great way to give your plain coffee table a rustic look with a weathered gray wooden top. The design and finish go particularly well with the coastal décor but you can basically match this piece with all sorts of interiors. The steps to create something like this are pretty simple. First, get a Lack Ikea coffee table and assemble it. Then get some wood and cut the boards to size. Stain them with your favorite color. Carefully measure the boards and place them on top of the table so they sit evenly. You can leave some gaps between them if you like the look. Then nail down the boards and that’s pretty much it.

Underneath mounting pressure to adopt hire handle legal guidelines, the San Anselmo Town Council has agreed to formally look at the challenge.
A faction of people have addressed the council in the course of community open up time this thirty day period to plead for relief from mounting rents. After about an hour of testimony Tuesday, the council voted 3-2 to get up the make any difference at a future assembly. Councilmembers Brian Colbert and Eileen Burke dissented.
Because Fairfax is about to consider a rent command legislation, Mayor Alexis Fineman stated San Anselmo could use that staff members report as a setting up place for dialogue.
“I assume it would be useful to have a created report as an agendized item,” Fineman reported. “It’s truthful to home house owners, it’s good to both of those sides truly to do that due to the fact … there does need to have to be a publicly agendized, correctly found, Brown Act-compliant dialogue if this is the character of conversation at council meetings.”
Colbert stated he has not listened to any testimonies “with people’s lease in fact getting raised in an egregious way.”
“I’ve read a ton of ‘what ifs,’ I have read a great deal of ‘I’ve heards,’” Colbert explained.
Burke stated she agreed.
“Essentially, we heard from the identical people tonight that we heard at the last council assembly,” she reported.
Colbert, Burke and Councilmember Ford Greene, who just about every very own rental houses, voted earlier this thirty day period in opposition to a formal dialogue proposed by Vice Mayor Steve Burdo and supported Fineman.
At that time, Colbert and Burke claimed they hadn’t read prevalent support for lease regulate and expressed problem about staff time soon after the town’s planning director, Elise Semonian, still left to take a placement at the city of Larkspur.
Organizers Kyle Amsler and Curt Ries, who are San Anselmo renters and volunteers with the Marin Democratic Socialist of The us, mentioned they’ve collected extra than 1,500 signatures countywide and more than 350 from San Anselmo citizens in guidance of rent handle.
“How a great deal group assistance is desired to location an product of dialogue on the agenda?” Amsler questioned the council.
“For the council to refuse a dialogue on the difficulty in the initially position inspite of considerable group assist, it feels like a disservice to San Anselmo people to our town’s demo process and to the spirit of inclusive civic engagement,” Amsler explained.
Ries stated, according to the latest census details, 34% of San Anselmo residents are renters and 52% are “rent burdened,” which means they commit 30% or a lot more of their earnings on housing, while 27% are severely hire burdened, investing a lot more than 50% of money on lease.
Ries claimed they are inquiring the council to approve a coverage that would offer “a primary level of housing steadiness and security. This need to not be as well much to question of our elected officials.”
Josh Sullivan, an legal professional at Authorized Assist of Marin, stated Marin and San Anselmo carry on to reduce low-cash flow and naturally taking place inexpensive housing at a file pace via annually hire raises and possession improvements.
“Enacting insurance policies that maintain economical housing, these kinds of as hire stabilization, is a prerequisite of the housing ingredient,” Sullivan mentioned. “Legal Assist of Marin hopes to work in partnership with the town of San Anselmo to administer an ordinance that is each economically practical and in compliance with the obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.”
Greene reported “simply mainly because I’m inclined to have the discussion should not be interpreted that I’m likely to concur or assistance (lease control),” including that his determination was motivated by the stage of coercion from proponents.
“It’s pretty distinct to me that if this is not agendized, each individual conference we can assume what occurred last assembly and this time,” Greene explained. “I am wiling to focus on it and chat about it,” he said, but “I never want, in the potential, to have our meetings taken up by an hour — an hour and a half — of community remark forcing the concerns.”
The Fairfax council is envisioned to have a discussion on no matter if team should draft a rent handle ordinance at its Might 4 assembly, City Supervisor Heather Abrams mentioned.
In San Anselmo, the council will most likely keep a similar dialogue in June, City Manager Dave Donery stated.

A former English teacher who was prevented from returning home to Britain for 25 years after his passport was wrongfully confiscated has been declared ineligible for British citizenship due to the length of his absence from the UK.
Ken Morgan, 70, described the decision as a “ridiculous catch-22” and said the only reason he was absent for such a long period was because British officials prohibited him from traveling to the UK. You have requested a review.
Morgan moved at age 10 from Jamaica to the UK in 1960, before Jamaica’s independence, traveling on a British passport. He attended school in London and lived and worked in the UK for over 30 years until 1994 when he traveled to a family member’s funeral in Jamaica. On his way back to London he was stopped at check-in and had his passport confiscated.
He was unable to persuade British High Commission officials that they had made a mistake, and remained trapped in Jamaica for a quarter of a century until the Windrush scandal broke, when British diplomats called him out of nowhere to offer him a temporary contract. . visa to allow you to travel back to the UK. He applied for British citizenship in 2018, during his first home visit.
His application was rejected, after a delay of almost two years, due to the fact that he had been out of the country on a date five years prior to applying (at a time when he was banned from being in the UK due to the decision confiscating his passport), and that he had spent more than 450 days outside the country during the application period (a period in which he was not allowed to be in the UK).
“I regret to tell you that you do not meet the requirements for citizenship and you do not have the right to residency in the UK,” the decision letter says.
Morgan said he was horrified by the decision. “How can you prevent someone from coming back, then rejecting your application and saying: you were not in the country and therefore you are not eligible? Hi? Hi? Why wasn’t he in the field? It doesn’t make sense, ”Morgan said, by phone from Jamaica. He said he had become skeptical of the Home Office’s repeated commitments to correct the mistakes experienced by the Windrush generation. “The promised culture change has not happened. When we take the center off the Ministry of the Interior, they go back to their old ways. “
After being barred from returning to the UK, Morgan was homeless on the streets of Kingston for a time, before managing to start a small business and retrain as a graphic designer. He ended up working for the University of the West Indies and notes that he “survived adversity and prospered.” However, he is eager to obtain his British citizenship.
Morgan’s attorney, Irène Nembhard de Birnberg Peirce, said the home secretary had the right to exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances. “It is not recognized that the sole reason why Mr Morgan was unable to meet the established requirements was the illegal act of the British official at the High Commission in Jamaica, confiscating his valid British passport,” he states in the letter requesting a review. .
“It is deeply disturbing that a task force created precisely to correct the mistakes made against Windrushers could make such a fundamental mistake. Neither Ken nor his lawyers can now rely on the statements of a succession of home secretaries that they are committed to bringing justice to those who have been so seriously injured by decades of hostile policies implemented by the Interior Ministry, ”he said.
A spokesman for the Home Office said: “An independent review is under way, which was requested last month in the case of Mr. Morgan. All citizenship applications are considered on their own merits in accordance with the requirements established in the nationality legislation. “

December 19, 2013 – AUD/USD (daily chart) has dropped below its August 0.8850-area low to establish a new 3+year low. The pair fell slightly below this 0.8850 level, which was its previous downside support objective, to hit a low of 0.8818 on Wednesday. These depths have not been touched since August 2010. This bearish price action comes in the midst of an overall bearish trend extending back to the drop from April’s 1.0600-area resistance high.
More recently, the pair has plummeted dramatically from its October 0.9757 high, which was also at the key 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the original slide from the noted 1.0600-area high in April down to August’s 0.8850-area low. The current establishment of the new long-term low tentatively confirms a continuation of the steep bearish trend from April. Continued downside momentum on the current breakdown has an initial downside target around the 0.8600 level to continue the downtrend. On any pullback to the upside, strong resistance resides around the 0.9000 psychological level.

Black Panther feels as much like a moment as it does a movie. There has been something transformative about the response to what, in another time and place, might have just ended up as *another* Marvel movie. It’s yet again proof that Marvel are expanding their reach, upping their game, and doubling their odds.
Ryan Coogler’s entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, adapting the successful if not widely known outside comic-book circles story of King T’Challa of Wakanda, is the second picture in a row from the comics studio, after Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, to feel like the true work of an auteur filmmaker. This has been a balance Kevin Feige’s game-changing franchise has previously struggled with since Jon Favreau’s Iron Man changed the course of blockbuster cinema in 2008; you only have to point to the wreckage of films such as The Incredible Hulk or Thor: The Dark World as good examples of how it took Marvel a while to truly embrace a filmmaker’s singular vision alongside the beats and overarching universal frameworks Marvel have spent a decade building toward, which will reach a conclusion with Avengers: Infinity War this year and its untitled 2019 sequel.
Could it be that the reason both Thor: Ragnarok and now Black Panther are such strong entities within the Marvel family is precisely because they didn’t have to particularly fit that framework? That’s a strong possibility. All Waititi had to do was position Thor in a space whereby he could be slotted back into Infinity War – beyond that he had carte blanche to re-imagine the world of Asgard as a neon, Guardians of the Galaxy-esque, 1980’s retro-futuristic blend of mythology and Antipodean eccentricity, and for the most part it worked beautifully. Coogler has perhaps even greater freedom with Black Panther, allowed as he is to truly develop the internal mythology and world of Wakanda around what isn’t a traditional origin story for T’Challa, given his previous introduction in Captain America: Civil War, but something deeper: a liberal-minded tale of colonial rejection, imperialist globalisation, and the haunting embers of black persecution.
Black Panther strikes a chord because it’s yet another potent example of how Hollywood, filled with liberal creatives inside a Californian world closed off, not unlike Wakanda to the world, from the apparent nationalist degradation of many other parts of America, are striking back with motion pictures which expressly feel like a retort against the divisions that are threatening Western democracy.
There has been an alt-right response in the unfortunate trolling by white nationalists posting on social media faked examples of how white people are being attacked by black crowds at screenings of the movie, but it’s not a response truly equal to what they see as a threat: a film which actively promotes not only the sustained idea of war-like colonialist American foreign policy but also that Africa, the cradle of civilisation, has always held the wisdom and knowledge that could unite humanity – they simply haven’t been ready to share it.
These feel like ideals that come from a very personal place for a filmmaker such as Coogler, who develops with Wakanda one of the most fascinating, vibrant (appropriate given their Vibranium) cultures the Marvel universe has yet given us. Their world is richer and more human than that of Asgard, less awkwardly psychedelic and mystical than the dimensions explored by the Sorcerer Supreme, and more defined than the deep space galactic Star Wars-style universe from the Guardians side of things.
Wakanda truly does feel like El Dorado (a real life legend mentioned by secondary villain Ulysses Klaue in dialogue at one point); a lost city which holds not in this case treasure but technology, adapted from an ancient alien source, which can power anti-gravity ships, powerful energy weapons, or deliver regenerative medical resources to heal wounds and stave off death. In many respects, Wakanda is a magical land, an Oz hidden behind the curtain.
Where it differs, and what grounds it and the story of Black Panther, is that there is no wizard pulling the strings or God-like equivalent ruler, but rather a man in the King, the symbolic Black Panther gifted of superhuman abilities according to the mythological origin legends passed down orally from one generation to the next, but a man nonetheless. T’Challa, played with engaging dignity by Chadwick Boseman, is one of the more noble and straight-laced characters the MCU has given us, but he’s equally one of the most inspiring; a man who believes in his duty to protect his people, to honour the traditions of his forefathers, but who is willing to adapt to a changing world, the world which led to the death of his father T’Chaka by a terrorist act (as we saw in Civil War), but a world T’Challa isn’t prepared to punish, but rather to help save.
This is why Michael B. Jordan’s vicious, urban Killmonger (aka former American soldier Eric Stevens) works so well in opposition and contradiction to T’Challa. A lesser Black Panther adaptation would have positioned Klaue, well-known as a villain in the comic-book series, as the primary antagonist, but Coogler is smart enough to recognise Andy Serkis’ enjoyably OTT performance as the exuberant international terrorist as the equivalent of a cheesy James Bond villain (indeed a chunk of the first half plays like a classic 007 movie), and in this context works as a functional semi-antagonist. Killmonger not only provides the emotional and spiritual central challenge of the picture, given his role as a sundered child Prince looking to reclaim his heritage, but he operates in a fascinating sociological context: a black man as the face of American colonial imperialism.
Killmonger’s rationale isn’t even a campaign trail in Wakanda. His motives are functionally to inspire the kind of revolution his black forebears in America and beyond never had the opportunity to take for themselves, but his reality is in placing himself as the ruler of the same kind of dictatorial power struggle he believes his race were robbed of by the ebb and flow of history.
In believing himself the liberator, Killmonger typifies everything he stands against, and therein lies his beautiful contradiction – one fuelled more by a personal loss and desire to avenge what he himself never had: the father figure who helped shape T’Challa into the man he is today. The irony is that T’Challa here discovers T’Chaka himself was not without his own flaws, having mistakenly chosen to bury the past in trying to protect Wakanda and his people. T’Chaka’s secrets end up almost destroying Wakandan civilisation, and it forces T’Challa to think in a different way.
Black Panther therefore is not a film about the plight of the black race across the democratic world, but rather the power they hold as part of a unified human, global society. That’s the message Coogler promotes through T’Challa and the choices made by Wakanda once the struggle they face here is over, and it fits with the broader idea of the Marvel universe. This is a world where the disparate amount of heroes, many of them with deep shades of grey and red on their ledgers by now, must figure out a way to unite in order to defeat the threat of Thanos which is looming on the horizon. T’Challa is positioned by the end of this picture as the noble, sincere equivalent of Tony Stark, before he became corrupted by his own ego, and would serve as a strong candidate to lead any future Avengers lineup. He could be a crucial part of the next overarching phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Along the way, you sense there won’t be too many Black Panther’s. It feels defiantly standalone, despite certain character and story tethers to Civil War specifically. Coogler directs with the same kinetic verve he brought to Creed, teasing strong performances out of a rich, diverse cast from half a dozen nations, while Ludwig Goransson’s score adds an ethnic, layered texture of African musical notes alongside a grand, mythological scope. There is a style and confidence all its own about Black Panther, even at the points the tone and narrative splutter (which they do occasionally), and ultimately there is a predictability about where the final confrontation is going. None of that detracts from the power and elegance, nevertheless, of the logical story being told.
Honestly, though given its critical reception and strong box office there will almost certainly be one, Black Panther doesn’t need a sequel. As a story about the emergence of an advanced civilisation choosing to reject colonialism and emerge as a force to unite a fractured world, it feels told. Perhaps the reason to see T’Challa and Wakanda again, beyond the Avengers unified team-ups, is to remind us that we can still strive, Star Trek-style, for a better world. Hollywood keeps repeating the message, but we need to keep being told.

BOSTON June 17, 2013 -- Confessed hitman John Martorano, who has admitted killing 20 people, told a Boston court today that he was testifying against his alleged former mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger because "it broke my heart" to discover Bulger was an FBI informant.
Some of Martorano's victims were innocent bystanders. One man was mistakenly murdered because he drove the same kind of car as the intended victim.
Today, he is a federal witness against Bulger, accused of being the head of the Winter Hill Gang and responsible for 19 murders.
The aging hitman, Martorano, 72, told the court that he was heart broken when he found out that Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi were working for the FBI at the same time they allegedly oversaw Boston's rackets. Martorano testified that he named his youngest son, James Stephen, after the his two criminal cohorts.
"They were my partners in crime, my best friends, my children's godfathers," Martorano told the Boston court today.
"When I heard they were informants, it sort of broke my heart. They broke all trust that we had and loyalties," Martorano testified, facing Bulger for the first time since the accused Boston mob boss fled Massachusetts 18 years ago after being tipped off about a federal indictment by rogue FBI agent John Connolly.
Martorano also testified against Connolly, who is serving a life sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Wyshack spent the morning recalling murders that Martorano was involved with and the methods used, and introducing Martorano's job lingo including "boilers" for stolen cars and "greasers" for machine guns.
Martorano also explained to the court why he -- and allegedly Bulger -- resorted to murder so frequently.
"We had a lot of problems with people. And you know, you just killed them before they kill you. It's kill or get killed at times," Martorano testified.
The confessed hitman testified over and over to questions from Wyshak that went along the lines of, "What did you do?" and "I shot him."
Sometimes Wyshak asked "where" and Martorano would answer, "In the heart" or with a "broadside," which was described as chasing a moving vehicle with two shooters firing machine guns at the occupants.
After one murder, the body of the victim was in the trunk of a "boiler," but the vehicle was stolen by teenager while the corpse was still inside.
To commit another murder Martorano testified that he got the address of a phone booth from the phone company after he called a supervisor of the company and said that he was supposed to pick up his kid, but that his son had run out of change before he could get the address.
Martorano was so proficient he would simply shoot a man, then call in underlings to "come in and bury him somewhere." After the murder of James Souza, for example, Martorano testified that he "went home to clean up."
"The blood was everywhere," he said.
Evidence photos included bullet-riddled cars and phone booths and a dead body displayed in a morgue. There was also testimony about a corrupt Massachusetts state police lieutenant who tipped off the Winter Hill gang to wiretaps and how Martorano would drop off $1,000 at a Holiday Inn on the Charlestown/Somerville line.
"We would look at the list of the people whose phones he was bugging. If they weren't with us, we didn't say nothing. If they were with us, we told him to go around them or something," he said.
But the gang's real power came in the early 1970s when a transfer to the Boston FBI field office, South Boston native John Connolly, visited William Bulger, then a state senator and James "Whitey" Bulger's older brother, Martorano testified. Connolly asked William Bulger if there was anything he could do for him, Martorano testified, and the senator responded: "You could keep my brother out of a trouble, that would be helpful."
The FBI agent agreed to meet with Whitey Bulger, and the Winter Hill gang was apprised of the sit-down.
"We told him, 'Be a good listener. At all times be a good listener and never tell him anything,'"' Martorano said.
Martorano said that Connolly started to protect the Winter Hill gang almost immediately, warning them that a business owner they had tried to extort had gone to the FBI. After that, "We saw the value of the relationship," Martorano told the court.
To say thank you, Martorano said the gang gave Connolly a "2-carat diamond."
But Martorano insisted he had no idea that Bulger was giving Connolly much more than money and gifts: information on rival wiseguys
Martorano's testimony comes more than a decade after he cut a deal with the government to testify against Bulger. He has been a free man since 2007 and Bulger's defense attorney J.W. Carney tried to delay the trial by arguing that the hitman has continued his life a crime, a claim that was denied by prosecutors and dismissed by a federal judge.
Still, Carney insists that Martorano – and other government witnesses expected to testify against Bulger – are not credible because they pointed fingers at one another to avoid lengthy prison sentences. Bulger sidekick, Kevin Weeks, and Flemmi are also on the witness list.
Carney had especially harsh words for Martorano calling him "criminal psychopath."
"He would kill people almost randomly. He would kill people as easily as we would order a cup of coffee... The federal government was so desperate to have John Martorano testify ... they basically put their hands up in the air and said take anything you want," Carney said.
Martorano testified after cross-examination of Boston bookmaker Dick O'Brien, 84, who was one of two bookies who testified that they paid "rent" to Bulger to stay in business. He recounted Bulger telling one bookmaking agent who got out of line that he liked to "kill a**holes like him." James Katz, 73, also testified that people who didn't pay Bulger could "wind up in the hospital."
O'Brien, 84, said he was trained in the business by his father, but when he brought his daughter into the mobbed-up enterprise she had a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized.
The breakdown came after Flemmi warned O'Brien what happened to turncoats.
Before he went to the meeting with Flemmi, O'Brien told his daughter to go to the FBI in Miami rather than in Boston because he didn't trust the agents working in that field office.
"It really upset her. We were very close," O'Brien said.
Carney asked if he came home after that meeting in Florida, whether he was harmed. O'Brien answered, "By the good graces of John Martorano I wasn't."
Bulger, 83, is charged with a 32-count indictment that includes accusations that he committed or ordered 19 murders, including the killings of two women who were romantically involved with his underlings. Bulger's trial comes 18 years after he disappeared ahead of a federal indictment.
He was arrested in June 2011 at a Santa Monica apartment complex where Bulger and his longtime companion Catherine Greig lived for 16 years as Charlie and Carol Gasko strolling the California coastline and shopping on the Third Avenue Promenade. Carney accused the FBI of "pretending to look for him" during opening arguments last week.
The government called those accusations absurd.

The enigmatic world of dreams has fascinated humanity for centuries, serving as a gateway to the subconscious mind and a mirror reflecting our deepest fears, desires, and mysteries.
Dream psychology, a field that intersects with the rich tapestry of myths and symbols, offers intriguing theories that attempt to unravel the secrets hidden in our nightly visions.
This journey into dream psychology invites us to explore the various theories that have shaped our understanding of the dream world, offering insights into the symbols and narratives that populate our subconscious.
Freud’s Dream Interpretation: The Royal Road
Sigmund Freud, often hailed as the father of dream psychology, introduced the groundbreaking notion that dreams are the “royal road to the unconscious.”
According to Freud, dreams are a form of wish fulfillment, expressions of our unconscious desires that are too threatening or unacceptable to be acknowledged in our waking life.
Freud’s analysis of dream symbols, such as the famous instance of cigars and umbrellas, emphasizes the idea that every element in a dream, no matter how mundane, carries hidden meaning connected to our innermost thoughts and experiences.
Jung’s Collective Unconscious: A Mythical Landscape
Carl Jung, diverging from Freud’s theories, proposed that dreams tap into the collective unconscious, a shared repository of archetypes and symbols that transcend individual experience.
Jung saw dreams as a means of communication between the conscious and unconscious mind, with the purpose of achieving psychological balance and integration. For Jung, dream symbols are not merely personal but are imbued with universal meanings, connecting us to the ancient myths and stories that have shaped human culture.
The archetype of the hero’s journey, for example, can be seen as a blueprint for the process of individuation and personal development that Jung deemed essential for a fulfilling life.
Perls’ Gestalt Approach: Dreams as Parts of the Whole
Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt therapy, offered a unique perspective on dreams, viewing them as an integral part of the self that reflects unresolved issues and emotions.
In Gestalt dream analysis, every component of the dream is considered a projection of the self, including objects, settings, and characters.
This approach encourages individuals to engage directly with their dream symbols, often through reenactment or dialogue, to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors and to work towards resolving inner conflicts.
Contemporary Theories: Beyond the Psyche
Modern dream research continues to evolve, incorporating insights from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and evolutionary theory.
While the mystery of why we dream remains partially unsolved, contemporary theories suggest that dreams play a role in emotional regulation, problem-solving, and the consolidation of memories.
The content and symbolism of dreams, according to these theories, are influenced by our daily experiences, concerns, and the process of integrating new information with existing knowledge.
The Role of Myths and Symbols
Dreams, myths, and symbols are inextricably linked, each reflecting the collective wisdom and experiences of humanity. Myths, like dreams, are symbolic narratives that speak to universal themes and archetypes, offering a framework for understanding the challenges and transitions we face in life.
By exploring the symbols that arise in our dreams, we engage with a shared language that transcends time and culture, connecting us to the broader human experience.
In conclusion, the exploration of dream psychology and theories opens up a fascinating world where science meets the soul. Whether viewed through the lens of Freud’s wish fulfillment, Jung’s archetypal landscapes, Perls’ gestalt perspectives, or modern cognitive approaches, dreams offer a rich source of insight and understanding.
As we delve into the symbols and narratives of our dreams, we tap into the depths of our psyche and the collective stories that bind us, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and connection to the universal human experience.
I've ridden the rails, gone off track and lost my train of thought. I'm writing for Nomadrs to try and find it again. Hope you enjoy the journey with me.

Sonko released on Sh300,000 bond in assault case
By Vincent Kejitan | February 9th 2021
Ex-Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko was on Tuesday released by a Kiambu Court on a Sh300,000 bond with a surety of the same amount.
He was further instructed to look for his accusers in a bid to resolve the cases out of court.
Last week, the ex-governor was arraigned in court where he faced various counts of assault and forcible entry of property in Buruburu Phase Four.
Sonko was charged that on May 25, 2019, at Buruburu Phase four, in Kamukunji, jointly with others not before court forcibly and violently entered into land number Lr Nairobi block 78/8, the property of Landmark International Properties.
He faced another count of assault causing actual bodily harm. It was alleged that on May 25, 2019, at Buruburu phase four in Kamukunji jointly with others not before court unlawfully led a group of men and assaulted Alex Kioko thereby occasioning him actual bodily harm.
Chief Inspector Geoffrey Ndatho pleaded with the magistrate to deny Sonko bail arguing that he is being investigated for other criminal offences.
The prosecution maintained that Sonko, being a politician, has influence and can interfere with the witnesses.
"There is a likelihood of Sonko or his followers directly or indirectly interfering with key witnesses if he is released on bail," said the prosecution.
The court heard that Sonko has been charged with a serious offence and if found guilty he shall be sentenced to serve a custodial sentence hence there is a high probability he might abscond court attendance.
Earlier on Tuesday, Sonko was rushed to Nairobi Hospital following a stomach complication.
According to one of his aides, the ex-governor complained of a stomach problem that worsened over the weekend.

It's important to understand that color by number pages are designed for kids, who've particular problems with the learning process and also diligence. Lots of adults have appreciated the benefits which these coloring pages offer. The main advantage of colour by number pages is that these materials turn the process of learning in to an exciting gameplay. This means that your daughter or son will learn the ropes of maths whilst coloring different pictures. Just like guided meditation, coloring allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and worries and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate stress and anxiety. It can be particularly effective for people who aren't comfortable with more creatively expressive forms of art, like painting or writing. The participants who are more guarded find a lot of tranquility in coloring images. It feels safer for them and it creates containment around the coloring process. The alternative is to buy coloring books in a shop or order the physical coloring book online. If you order the physical book online, it can take ages to receive it. Then you have to wait for the item to be delivered. If you buy a coloring product in digital form, you receive it within minutes of purchase. Normally, once your payment is made, an email is instantly sent to you and includes your purchase.
Want to Get Started? Keep in mind, if you're dealing with significant mental or emotional issues, the therapy is going to be more effective than coloring solo. But for those who just need a hobby to help them relax and chill out, these coloring books could be the solution. People that engage in activities like that feel recharged and restored. Since precision is everything when it comes to coloring pages for adults, skip the crayons and go straight for the colored pencils, so you'll be able to blend colors, do shading and adding highlights and lowlights to your masterpieces. The Disney has the potential to create a world with children and they are favorite friends of kids. They capture their hearts and give them an inner pleasure. This is the reason that when they are provided with picture of Disney to color they fall in love with it. They love to get themselves engaged in the freehand coloring. All you need is to take out prints and encourage your child to do so. Surely, early education is vital, but in different situations toddlers just don't like studies because it can be monotonous. However using computer games features in learning completely resolves that very common problem for children as well as their moms and dads. After spending hectic hours in school kids can relax as they turn on the computer and start colouring. It is a great activity particularly as it replaces paper colouring. Colouring pages aid teachers and other educators with pictures rather than confusing them with the words. Pictures help young children understand what they are taught far better than words ever could. Colouring online is beneficial for young children as it teaches them concentration, self-discipline, dedication, a sense of achievement, complete tasks, the knowledge they had done their best and most importantly to boost their confidence and help them succeed in life.
All the reasons listed above prove that coloring pages is a great educational tool for children. Her cute and happy manner mean she is a great subject to color in. Its a very safe and wholesome image with plenty to fire the imagination of our children. She is soft, simple and round, made up of easy shapes and easy for our kids to grasp. Very young children don't know the places where they are not allowed to draw and might do their coloring on the floor, walls, furniture and so on; apart from that they like tasting everything they hold in their hands like crayons, markers or paints. That's why they require continues supervision. But older children can work independently, giving you lots of free time, although they also enjoy a parent coloring along side them. Every child also likes to be appreciated by his parents. In this case we recommend to post children's best creative masterpieces in a prominent place in the house. It will give more confidence to your kids. The online coloring stuff with printable option might be the best of its kind as the child does not have to finish his coloring in one go, he can wait and try his hand whenever he wants to. Or he can get the prints once he is done with the artwork online. What pleases you more? The child who is happy and busy or the one who is always complaining of not getting the stuff he wants to color. Of course the latter option can be the choice.

[The] Shabak is/are a people, a religion and a language, all belonging to northern
Iraq. More specifically, they live in the region of Mosul, and are
united in culture and language, but they cover more than one ethnic
group and among them there is more than one religion.
Their numbers are very hard to assess, being between 60,000 and 400,000 spread among 35 villages, of which Ali Rach, Yangija, Khazna and Talara are the largest. LookLex uses the number 100,000 to assess their number, but this is highly uncertain.
Throughout their history, the Shabaks have been considered a low class in the Iraqi society, although there are few reports of persecution, despite them being defined outside the Ahl al-Kitab, the people of the book. Still, during recent decades, the Shabak have faced the hardship of being dislocated, as an initiative of the central Iraqi authorities to destroy their cultural identity.
A common theory, is that the Shabak are of Turkmen origins, and migrants from Persia in the 17th century.
A large part of the Shabak are also related to the Kurds. Their name is a reflection of their ethnic diversity, in Arabic 'shabak' means "intertwine" and subgroups of the Shabak are known as Gergari, Bajalan, Hariri and Mosul.
Their history in brief:

I'll never forget the first time I experienced the prophetic anointing. I was a freshman in college. We were having a prayer meeting in one of the dorm rooms. As we were holding hands in a circle praying, it felt like someone through a blanket over my head. The feeling was so real I opened my eyes. There was no blanket, but I still felt the sensation. I was experiencing a prophetic mantle for the first time. As I looked around the room I knew things about each person. As I shared what God was showing me each one was deeply ministered to as God spoke to the secrets of their hearts.
I came to realize that one of the main reasons God releases a prophetic gift in us is to call people forth into their true identity and destiny. The enemy has worked so hard to lie to people about who they really are. He tries to bind them up with insecurities, fears, false belief systems, guilt and condemnation. He tries to lock them in their past.
When you step into a prophetic flow, you receive the eyes and heart of God. You obtain the ability to see past the surface and into God's view of someone. You see their full potential and the amazing plan God has for them. This sets them free from the lies and false belief systems they have been living with.
Prophecy is Being Able to See the GOLD in People.
It's easy to see the faults and weaknesses in each other. It takes the eyes of God to see the GOLD in people. To see them how God sees them. When you see the GOLD in someone, you can prophesy it and call it forth. The power of prophesying the gold in people calls them into their true identity and purpose. It brings breakthrough and freedom into their hearts and minds.
Prophesy is to Edify, Exhort and Comfort. (1 Cor 14:3)
Edify means to build up and construct. When you prophesy the gold in people you build them up in the truth of who they are and help construct the future God has for them.
Exhort means to strongly encourage and urge someone to do something. When you prophesy the gold in people you strongly encourage them in their identity and urge them into their destiny and into the good works God has called them to do.
Comfort means freedom from pain and constraint. To ease someone's grief or distress. When you prophecy the gold in people you help set them free from pain in their soul and from the constraints that have held them back. You prophecy them into breakthrough and freedom and into the fullness God has for their lives.
God wants to anoint you to prophesy and mine for the gold in people. He wants to empower you to dig deep and pull out the best in those around you. You can be used by God to shift people into their destinies and true identity.
God wants to use you in this way. I encourage you to get more equipped so you can be a vessel that calls forth the gold in people.
Angels are a very real part of the spirit realm. They are constantly functioning on your behalf fighting and warring for you to be victorious and overcome. I want you to have a full comprehensive understanding of what they do. Below is a list of 24 functions of angels found in the bible! I remember there was a time in Bible College when I was going through a hard time. I was in the cafeteria and turned to a friend and said, "I'm sinking down. I don't know if I'm going to be able to break through this." They said, "Let's pray." So we grabbed hands and began to pray. The moment we began to pray I felt a glorious presence on all four sides of me.
You can be free from every lie the enemy has ever tried to tell you about you! The enemy works overtime to distort and hinder people's identity. If he can hinder your identity, he can hinder your destiny. Your life, actions, behavior, and relationships all flow out of your inward identity. Identity is formed by how you think and feel about yourself. The enemy doesn't play fair. He often starts early in a person's life to try to shape and influence their identity in a negative way. He especially targets children. I believe schoolyard bullying is demonic at its root. The reason a child is singled out by the enemy is because of the amazing destiny on that child's life.
It's your time for an accelerated breakthrough and a season of suddenlies! 2019 is going to be a time of accelerated breakthrough! I decree over you, today, that there is going to be breakthrough upon breakthrough upon breakthrough, in Jesus' name. It will be a time of acceleration. Things are going to move faster and faster. Get ready for God to move suddenly! This is going to be a season of many suddenlies. Suddenly healing will be upon you. Suddenly your breakthrough will happen. Suddenly that financial provision and miracle will come through. Suddenly a new door will open for you. Suddenly a divine connection will take place (Mal. 3:1, Acts 2:2, Acts 16:26).

INDIA / 1999
Festival of Holi
Holi, the festival of colours, is a celebration of spring, of death and rebirth, a time of emotional, mental and physical cleansing; it marks the end of the winter, a time to make amends and the triumph of good over evil.
It is also a fabulously orchestrated 10 daylong rendition of the age-old pious love affair between Krishna, the blue-skinned Hindu God of Love, and his beautiful consort Radha.
Going from village to village, I traveled to Barsana, Nandagow, Mathura, and Baldev, following the re-enacting of a ceremony so old that it has its roots in a mythology lost in time.

God Save the Ganges is a photo-essay inspired by the physical reality of pollution of the Sacred River Ganges and the Spiritual Devotional Force it embodies.
