Mention by Panini
V S Agarwal mentions.... Sankashya (सांकाश्य) (IV.2.80), modern Sankissa, situated on the north bank of the river Ikshumati in Farrukhabad district. The Sankasyadi (सांकाश्य) group also includes Kampilya modern Kampil in Kaimganj Tehsil of Farrukhabad.
Sankassa (also Sankasia, Sankissa and Sankasya) was an ancient city in India. The city came into prominence at the time of Gautama Buddha. According to a Buddhist source, it was thirty leagues from Savatthi. After the Gautama Buddha's Mahaparinirvana (passing away) king Ashoka developed this place and installed one of his famous Pillars of Ashoka in the city, from which the elephant capital survives. He also built a stupa and a temple commemorating the visit of the Buddha. This temple exists even today and the ruins of the stupa are also present as a temple of Vishari Devi. It is said that the name Visahari Devi is given to the mother of the Buddha. Descent of the Buddha from the Trayastrimsa Heaven at Sankissa.
Currently it has ruins of old monasteries and Buddhist monuments. It is rarely visited by pilgrims since it is difficult to go to, and there are not many facilities. After a long time Alexander Cunningham (British) discovered the place in 1842. Eighty-seven years later Sir Anagarika Dharmapala (Sri Lanka) came here on spiritual quest. In 1957 Panditha Madabawita Wijesoma Thero (Sri Lanka) came to 'Sankissa' for few years and started a Buddhist school (Wijesoma Widyalaya) for poor people.
It is believed to be the place where Buddha, came to preach people along with his followers. There is a big Asana made of pakki bricks. This Asana was used by Buddha. People forgot the importance of the place. They made a very small temple. put some unidentifiable statues of stones and called it the temple of Bisari Devi. An excavated Ashokan elephant pillar is also present there. There is also colossal Shiva Linga here. In the respect of Holy Birthday of Lord Buddha a large fair is held at Sankisa in the month of Vaisakha (May) every year. Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Myanmar etc. have established big temples of Lord Buddha. This place has become very important to Buddhist tourists.
Sankissa is now identified with Sankisa Basantapura on the north bank of the Ikshumati river (Kalinadi), between Kampil and Kannauj, twenty-three miles west of Fatehgarh, twenty-five south of Kaimganj and forty-five north of Kannauj, in Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh state of India.
Indian Origin Places in Burma
Dineschandra Sircar writes.... Some important old Indian names found in Burma are Aparanta, Avanti, Varanasi, Champanagara, Dvaravati, Gandhara, Kamboja, Kailasha, Kusumapura, Mithila, Pushkara, Pushkaravati, Rajagriha, etc. and the names Sankashya (Tagaung on the Upper Irawadi), Utkala (from Rangoon to Pegu) and Vaishali (modern Vethali in the Akyub district also fall in the same category. The name of the well-known river Irawadi reminds us of Iravati (modern Ravi River), one of the famous tributaries of the Indus.
Visit by Fahian
From Mathura Fahian proceeded south-east for eighteen yojanas, and found themselves in a kingdom called Sankasya, at the place where Buddha came down, after ascending to the Trayastrimsas heaven, and there preaching for three months his Law for the benefit of his mother (Buddha’s mother, Maya and Mahamaya).
Fahian writes about a bhikshuni Utpala thought in her heart, “To-day the kings, with their ministers and people, will all be meeting (and welcoming) Buddha. I am (but) a woman; how shall I succeed in being the first to see him?” Buddha immediately, by his spirit-like power, changed her into the appearance of a holy Chakravartti king, and she was the foremost of all in doing reverence to him. At the place where the bhikshuni Utpala was the first to do reverence to Buddha, a tope has now been built. Eitel gives the name Utpala with the same Chinese phonetisation as in the text, but not as the name of any bhikshuni. The Sanskrit word, however, is explained by “blue lotus flowers;” and Hsuan-chwang calls her the nun “Lotus-flower colour”— the same as Hardy’s Upulwan and Uppalawarna.
Behind the vihara Ashoka erected a stone pillar, about fifty cubits high, with a lion on the top of it. Let into the pillar, on each of its four sides, there is an image of Buddha, inside and out shining and transparent, and pure as it were of /lapis lazuli/.
At the places where Buddha, when he was in the world, cut his hair and nails, topes are erected; and where the three Buddhas that preceded Sakyamuni Buddha and he himself sat; where they walked, and where images of their persons were made. At all these places topes were made, and are still existing. At the place where Sakra, Ruler of the Devas, and the king of the Brahma-loka followed Buddha down (from the Trayastrimsas heaven) they have also raised a tope.
Fa-hien spent his retreat at the Dragon-Shrine and when it was over he travelled seven yojanas to the south-east, which brought him to Kannauj. Sankisa was one of the greatest Buddhist pilgrims centre at the time of Fa-hien's visit. Fa-hien remarks
- "This country is very productive and the people are flourishing and happy beyond compare. When man of other nations come, care is taken of all of them and they are provided with what they require".
At this place there is also a tope to Buddha and there are a hundred small topes.There is a monastery, containing perhaps 600 or 700 monks.
Visit by Xuanzang 636 AD
Alexander Cunningham writes that The position of Sankisa, which stood midway between Piloshana and Kanoj, has already been discussed. The name of the place is written Seng-kia-she by the Chinese pilgrims, a spelling which is well preserved in the Sankisa of the present day, and which represents with considerable faithfulness the Sanghasya of Sanskrit. Hwen Thsang calls it also by the name of Kia-pi-tha or Kapitha, of which I was unable to discover any trace. Sankisa was one of the most famous places of Buddhist pilgrimage, as it was the scene of Buddha's descent from the Trayastrinsa heaven by a ladder of gold or gems, accompanied by the gods Indra and Brahma. According to this curious legend, Maya the mother of Buddha, died seven days after his birth, and ascended at once to the Trayastrinsa heaven, the abode of the 33 gods, of whom Indra was the chief. But as she had no opportunity in this abode of the gods of hearing the law of Buddha, her
[p.370]:pious son ascended to the Trayastrinsa heaven, and preached for three months in her behalf. He then descended to the earth with the gods Brahma and Indra by three staircases, one of which was formed either of crystal or precious stones, another of gold, and the third of silver. According to Fa-Hian, Buddha descended by a staircase formed of the " seven precious things," that is the precious metals and precious gems, whilst Brahma accompanied him on his right side by a silver ladder, and Indra on his left by a golden ladder. But Hwen Thsang assigns the golden staircase to Buddha himself, the silver staircase on the right to Brahma, and the crystal staircase on the left to Indra. The descent was accompanied by a multitude of Devas, who scattered flowers on all sides as they sang the praises of Buddha. Such are the main points of this curious legend, which is believed as firmly in Barma at the present day, as it was by Asoka 2100 years ago, or by the Chinese pilgrims of the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries of our era.
The little village which still preserves the name of Sankisa is perched upon a lofty mound of ruins 41 feet in height above the fields. This mound, which is called the Kilah, or fort, is 1600 feet in length from cast to west, and 1000 feet in breadth. On the north and west faces the sides are steep, but on the other faces the slope is much more easy. Due south from the centre of the fort, at a distance of 1600 feet, there is a mound of solid brickwork which is crowned by a modern temple dedicated to Bisari Devi. The " fort " and the different mounds of all sizes around the temple form a mass of ruin 3000 feet in length by 2000 feet in breadth, or nearly 2 miles in circuit. But this was
[p.371]:only the central portion of the ancient city of Sankisa, comprising the citadel and the religious buildings that were clustered round the three holy staircases. The city itself, which would appear to have surrounded this central mound on all sides, was enclosed with an earthen rampart 18,900 feet, or upwards of 3½ miles in circuit. The greater part of this rampart still remains, the shape being a tolerably regular dodecagon. On three sides, to the east, north-east, and south-east, there are breaks or openings in the line of rampart which are traditionally said to be the positions of the three gates of the city. In proof of the tradition, the people refer to the village of Paor-Kheria, or " Gate-village" which is just outside the south-east gap in the ramparts. But the name is pronounced Paor, पौर, and not Paur, पोर, and may therefore refer to the staircases or steps (Paori), and not to the gate. The Kali, or Kalindri Nadi flows past the south-west corner of the ramparts from the Rajjghat, which is half a mile distant to the Kakra Ghat, which is rather more than one mile to the south of the line of ramparts.
To the north-west, three-quarters of a mile distant, stands the large mound of Agahat, which is 40 feet in height, and rather more than half a mile in diameter at base. The name of the old town is said to have been Agahat, but the place is now called Agahat Sarai (Aghat of the maps) from a modern Sarai, which was built in A.H. 1080, or A.D. 1670, on the north-east corner of the mound, by the ancestor of the present Pathan Zamindar. The people say that before this, the place had been deserted for several centuries ; but as I obtained a tolerably complete series of the copper
[p.372]:coins of the Muhammadan kings of Delhi and Jonpur, I presume that it could not have been deserted for any very long time. The mound is covered with broken bricks of large size, which alone is a sure test of antiquity : and as it is of the same height as that of Sankisa, the people are most probably right in their assertion that the two places are of the same age. In both mounds are found the same old coins without any inscriptions, the more ancient being square pieces of silver covered with various punch-marks, and the others, square pieces of copper that have been cast in a mould, — all of which are, in my opinion, anterior to the invasion of Alexander the Great.
In identifying Sankisa with the Sangasya of the Ramayana and the Seng-kia-she of the Chinese, we are supported, not only by its absolute identity of name, but likewise by its relative position with regard to three such well-known places as Mathura, Kanoj and Ahi-chhatra. In size, also, it agrees very closely with the measurement given by Hwen Thsang ; his circuit of 20 li, or 3½ imiles, being only a little less than my measurement of 18,900 feet, or 3½ miles. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the place is actually the same. In his description of Sankisa, Hwen Thsang mentions a curious fact, that the Brahmans who dwelt near the great monastery were " many tens of thousands " in number. As an illustration of this statement I may mention that the people have a tradition that Sankisa was deserted from 1800 to 1900 years ago; and that 1300 years ago, or about A.D. 560, the site was given by the Kayath proprietor to a body of Brahmans. They add also that the population of the village of Paor-kheria is known to have been wholly Brahman until a very recent period.
[p.373]:Sankisa is said to have been 2000 li, or 333 miles, in circuit ; but with reference to the surrounding districts, this estimate must be too high. Its actual limits, as determined by the Ganges and Jumna on the north and south, and by the districts of Atranji and Kanoj on the west and east, could not have been more than 220 miles in circuit.
सांकाश्य (AS, p.946): विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर  ने लेख किया है ...1. संकिसा (AS, p.946): प्राचीन भारत में पंचाल जनपद का प्रसिद्ध बौद्ध कालीन नगर, जो वर्तमान बसंतपुर (ज़िला फ़र्रूख़ाबाद, उत्तर प्रदेश) है। यह फ़र्रुख़ाबाद के निकट स्थित है। सांकाश्य का सर्वप्रथम उल्लेख संभवत: वाल्मीकि रामायण 71, 16-19 में है। यहाँ सांकाश्य नरेश सुधन्वा का जनक की राजधानी मिथिला पर आक्रमण करने का उल्लेख है। सुधन्वा सीता से विवाह करने का इच्छुक था। जनक के साथ युद्ध में सुधन्वा मारा गया तथा सांकाश्य के राज्य का शासक जनक ने अपने भाई कुशध्वज को बना दिया। उर्मिला इन्हीं कुशध्वज की पुत्री थी- 'कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य सांकाश्यादागत: पुरात्, सुधन्व्रा वीर्यवान् राजा मिथिलामवरोधक:। निहत्य तं मुनिश्रेष्ठ सुधन्वानं नराधिपम् सांकाश्ये भ्रातरं शूरमभ्यषिञ्चं कुशध्वजम्।'
बुद्ध का आगमन: [p.947]:गौतम बुद्ध के जीवन काल में सांकाश्य ख्याति प्राप्त नगर था। पाली कथाओं के अनुसार यहीं बुद्ध त्रयस्त्रिंश स्वर्ग से अवतरित होकर आए थे। इस स्वर्ग में वे अपनी माता तथा तैंतीस देवताओं को अभिधम्म की शिक्षा देने गए थे। पाली दंतकथाओं के अनुसार बुद्ध तीन सीढ़ियों द्वारा स्वर्ग से उतरे थे और उनके साथ ब्रह्मा और शक भी थे। इस घटना से संबन्ध होने के कारण बौद्ध, सांकाश्य को पवित्र तीर्थ मानते थे और इसी कारण यहाँ अनेक स्तूप एवं विहार आदि का निर्माण हुआ था। यह उनके जीवन की चार आश्चर्यजनक घटनाओं में से एक मानी जाती है।
सांकाश्य ही में बुद्ध ने अपने प्रमुख शिष्य आनन्द के कहने से स्त्रियों की प्रव्रज्या पर लगाई हुई रोक को तोड़ा था और भिक्षुणी उत्पलवर्णा को दीक्षा देकर स्त्रियों के लिए भी बौद्ध संघ का द्वार खोल दिया था। पालि ग्रंथ 'अभिधानप्पदीपिका' में संकस्स (सांकाश्य) की उत्तरी भारत के बीस प्रमुख नगरों में गणना की गई है। पाणिनी ने 4,2,80 में सांकाश्य की स्थिति इक्षुमती नदी पर कहीं है, जो संकिसा के पास बहने वाली ईखन है।
फ़ाह्यान द्वारा उल्लेख: 5वीं शती में चीनी यात्री फ़ाह्यान ने संकिसा के जनपद के संख्यातीत बौद्ध विहारों का उल्लेख किया है। वह लिखता है कि यहाँ इतने अधिक विहार थे कि कोई मनुष्य एक-दो दिन ठहर कर तो उनकी गिनती भी नहीं कर सकता था। संकिसा के संघाराम में उस समय छ: या सात सौ भिक्षुओं का निवास था। युवानच्वांग ने 7वीं शती में सांकाश्य में स्थित एक 70 फुट ऊँचे स्तम्भ का उल्लेख किया है, जिसे राजा अशोक ने बनवाया था। इसका रंग बैंजनी था। यह इतना चमकदार था कि जल से भीगा सा जान पड़ता था। स्तम्भ के शीर्ष पर सिंह की विशाल प्रतिमा जटित थी, जिसका मुख राजाओं द्वारा बनाई हुई सीढ़ियों की ओर था। इस स्तम्भ पर चित्र-विचित्र रचनायें बनी थीं, जो बौद्धों के विश्वास के अनुसार केवल साधु पुरुषों को ही दिखलाई देती थीं। चीनी-यात्री ने इस स्तम्भ का जो वर्णन किया है, वह वास्तव में अद्भुत है। यह स्तम्भ सांकाश्य की खुदाई में अभी तक नहीं मिला है।
स्तम्भ-शीर्ष: विषहरी देवी के मन्दिर के पास जो स्तम्भ-शीर्ष रखा है, वह सम्भवत: एक विशाल हाथी की प्रतिमा है न कि सिंह की। इस प्रकार इसका अशोक स्तम्भ का शीर्ष होना संदिग्ध है। युवांगच्वांग ने सांकाश्य का नाम कपित्थ भी लिखा है। संकिसा के उत्तर की ओर एक स्थान कारेवर तथा नागताल नाम से प्रसिद्ध है। प्राचीन किंवदंती के अनुसार कारेवर एक विशाल सर्प का नाम था। लोग उसकी पूजा करते थे और इस प्रकार उसकी कृपा से आसपास का क्षेत्र सुरक्षित रहता था। ताल के चिह्न आज भी हैं। इसकी परिक्रमा बौद्ध यात्री करते हैं।
ज्ञान-प्राप्ति का स्थान: जैन मतावलंबी [p.948]:सांकाश्य को तेरहवें तीर्थंकर विमलनाथ की ज्ञान-प्राप्ति का स्थान मानते हैं। संकिसा ग्राम आजकल एक ऊँचे टीले पर स्थित है। इसके आसपास अनेक टीले हैं, जिन्हें 'कोटपाकर', 'कोटमुझा', 'कोटद्वारा', 'ताराटीला', 'गौंसरताल' आदि नामों से अभिहित किया जाता है। इसका उत्खनन होने पर इस स्थान से अनेक बहुमूल्य प्राचीन अवशेषों के प्राप्त होने की आशा है। प्राचीन सांकाश्य पर्याप्त बड़ा नगर रहा होगा, क्योंकि इसकी नगर-भित्ति के अवशेष जो आज भी वर्तमान हैं, प्राय: 4 मील के घेरे में हैं।
2. संकाश्य बर्मा (AS, p.948): (ब्रह्मदेश) का प्राचीन भारतीय नगर. इस देश में अति प्राचीन समय से लेकर मध्य काल तक अनेक भारतीय उपनिवेशों को बसाया गया जहाँ हिंदू एवं बौद्ध नरेशों का राज्य था. संकाश्य या सांकाश्य नामक नगर संभवत: भारत के इसी नाम से प्रसिद्ध प्राचीन नगर के नाम परबसाया गया था.

ClimSim: A large multi-scale dataset for hybrid physics-ML climate emulation
Keywords: climate, climate modeling, benchmark, dataset, baseline, emulation, superparameterization, multi-scale modeling framework, physics-informed machine learning
TL;DR: ClimSim is the largest dataset for multi-scale, physics-informed machine learning climate simulations along with a wide range of baselines for the modeling of atmospheric convection and radiation.
Abstract: Modern climate projections lack adequate spatial and temporal resolution due to computational constraints. A consequence is inaccurate and imprecise predictions of critical processes such as storms. Hybrid methods that combine physics with machine learning (ML) have introduced a new generation of higher fidelity climate simulators that can sidestep Moore's Law by outsourcing compute-hungry, short, high-resolution simulations to ML emulators. However, this hybrid ML-physics simulation approach requires domain-specific treatment and has been inaccessible to ML experts because of lack of training data and relevant, easy-to-use workflows. We present ClimSim, the largest-ever dataset designed for hybrid ML-physics research. It comprises multi-scale climate simulations, developed by a consortium of climate scientists and ML researchers. It consists of 5.7 billion pairs of multivariate input and output vectors that isolate the influence of locally-nested, high-resolution, high-fidelity physics on a host climate simulator's macro-scale physical state. The dataset is global in coverage, spans multiple years at high sampling frequency, and is designed such that resulting emulators are compatible with downstream coupling into operational climate simulators. We implement a range of deterministic and stochastic regression baselines to highlight the ML challenges and their scoring. The data (https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEAP/ClimSim_high-res) and code (https://leap-stc.github.io/ClimSim) are released openly to support the development of hybrid ML-physics and high-fidelity climate simulations for the benefit of science and society.

To help get consumers excited about HTC’s upcoming One, the company has made the Zoe Share website live to demonstrate the quirky new feature. As we explained in our hands-on from Mobile World Congress, the feature essentially captures short three second snippets of video, which people can then basically turn into a life highlight reel.
People have become enamored with snapping short videos thanks to the growing prevalence of smartphones, and Zoe makes it that much easier. Not only does the feature stitch together short highlight reels, but users are also able to slather their content with filters, transitions and music for a higher production value. And hopefully make their vacation/birthday/bar outings that much more memorable.

Chilmark firefighters responded to a small brush fire off Quansoo Road Tuesday afternoon. A homeowner who disposed of fireplace ashes outside was the cause.
“It was just due to a little mishap,” Chilmark Fire Chief David Norton said Wednesday morning. “Luckily the wind had died down at the time of the fire, so it was easy to contain and put out.”
The potential for even a small fire to spread quickly is very high. The National Weather Service has issued a fire warning for all of southern New England due to dry conditions and low humidity. “They did issue a red-flag warning, so there will be no burn permits issued until that is resolved and the weather conditions change,” Chief Norton said.
In a recent statement, state fire marshal Peter Ostroskey said April and May are the two busiest months for responding to brush fires. “Once the snow melts, it reveals dried grass, leaves, and fallen branches,” he said. “Days of high wind, low humidity, and bright sunshine combined with the tinder provide the fuel for brush and woods fires.”


River City Renaissance – Haverhill’s Harbor Place Project
Downtown Haverhill used to be a bustling place; people reminisce about Woolworth’s soda fountain and the whooshing pneumatic tubes in Mitchell’s department store. Those days are long gone. Woolworth’s has been closed for twice as long as it was open, and the east end of Merrimack Street has become a place to avoid. But that is about to change.
Imagine a day spent cruising the Merrimack, starting with breakfast in Newburyport and ending with dinner and music in Haverhill while overlooking the reflection of romantic gaslights on the sparkling water. Picture a sunny day of shopping, with children laughing as they wave at boaters drifting by. Envision a waterfront lifestyle with snow shovel-free, underground parking and soaring property values. Contemplate strolling down a boardwalk and art-enhanced rail trail, crossing two bridges along the way.
If you can imagine all this, you have caught the vision of a new Haverhill, beginning with two multiuse buildings that will replace the abandoned Woolworth’s property and adjacent empty structures. Harbor Place will be filled with apartments, shops, offices, and restaurants, and its tenants will include UMass Lowell.
The project, set to begin this year, is a joint venture of the Greater Haverhill Foundation (GHF) and the Planning Office for Urban Affairs in Boston (POUA). Lisa Alberghini, president of the POUA, says, “We’ve got two nonprofits doing the right thing for the right reasons. No one’s out to line their pockets. We are creating a place where people can live, work, learn and recreate. Given what people have been looking at for the last 45 years, they are very excited.”
The commercial building on the corner of Merrimack and Main will contain a mix of businesses including shops, the UMass Lowell Haverhill satellite campus, and a first-floor restaurant with glass walls overlooking the river. For 70 years, a flood wall behind the existing buildings prevented access to the river’s edge. In contrast, Harbor Place will be constructed at the height of the wall, and will include a public waterfront plaza with three wide, inviting corridors for pedestrian access to a new boardwalk.
The power behind the project is the river. “In my youth, this was an open sewer. It was ‘what color dye is running today?’ In August you would have a fish kill and you’d wait for the tide to wash them out to the ocean. There was no reason to want to face the river,” recalls Ronald Trombley, managing director of the Greater Haverhill Foundation. The shoe industry no longer befouls the water, but the old building designs simply don’t foster an enjoyment of the waterfront. Scott Cote, president and CEO of Pentucket Bank and president of the Greater Haverhill Foundation, says, “People want to see the city revitalized, they want to see the river opened up.”
As Alberghini puts it: “Nobody uses the river here. It’s just crazy.”
But that’s not how it’s always been. In the 1800s, Haverhill was a port. Three of its sea captains traded in the West Indies, and lumber came on schooners from Maine. “It’s not a coincidence that this is being called Harbor Place,” Trombley says. “Haverhill was a port city, and it forgot itself. We’re just reclaiming what it was.”
A major element of the project will be the construction of pedestrian walkways on both sides of the river between the Comeau Bridge and the Basiliere Bridge “For years, people have been talking about building a boardwalk, but a boardwalk to what?” Trombley asks. “To build it in a vacuum didn’t make any sense.”
The project “opens up the other side of the river, as well,” Cote says, commenting about the rail trail art walk project to be begun in 2015. “There are going to be commissioned artists to build key structures, and new lighting.”
Alberghini continues: “For the last 70 years, there was no public access to the river. Now there will be a plaza with three beautiful access ways.”
The promise of a waterfront lifestyle is compelling.
Harbor Place will be the last navigable stop for large recreational boats coming up the Merrimack River. The Basiliere Bridge will invite boaters into the harbor, its gaslight-style street lamps evoking the romance of Paris and Québec. Each apartment in the brick Riverfront residential building will have a balcony and windows overlooking the resurrected harbor and adjacent river vistas.
“People my age are saying, ‘Do I really need a house with all this space anymore?’ ” Trombley says. “But you don’t want to move to a smaller house in a subdivision; there’s nothing going on. Here, you could have an underground garage and a boat out front. You could leave your condominium, spend the day at Salisbury Beach, go across and have dinner in Newburyport or Amesbury. Not a bad life.”
It’s easy to see how people might be tempted by this vision of la dolce vita. “If I’m of that mindset, I’d better move fast before I get priced out,” Trombley warns.
Cote agrees, saying, “When you build this, you will have [home owners and business people] reinvesting in their property. It will be a huge growth initiative for the city.”
For some, the loss of the Woolworth building will be a sad moment. Alberghini says the iconic soda fountain is being donated to the Haverhill Historical Society. “We’ll keep what we can and honor the legacy of the building and the historicity of the site,” she says.
Then, Harbor Place should become a source of new memories in a revitalized and vibrant city, thanks to the efforts of nonprofit organizations, private institutions, and government agencies all working together to create a vision of beauty and prosperity from the dirt and ashes of neglect.

Thorsten Koehne: Eden's Curse to release new album 'Cardinal'
Eden’s Curse to release new album ‘Cardinal’ on October 14th
Multinational Melodic Metal band Eden’s Curse will release their fifth studio album ‘Cardinal’ via German Metal label AFM Records on October 14th, 2016.
Produced by Paul Logue and Thorsten Koehne, ‘Cardinal’ contains 12 songs with all of the usual Eden’s Curse trademark melodies, hooks and riffs.
Written mainly by the band’s long established writing team of bassist and founding member Paul Logue, virtuoso guitarist Thorsten Koehne and former drummer Pete Newdeck (Tainted Nation), what is immediately apparent about ‘Cardinal’ is that it showcases some of the group’s melodic yet heaviest and most progressive moments to date.
“We took two years to write this album, because ‘Symphony Of Sin’ was such a successful album for us. We like to do things properly in this band and explore every possible opportunity to make each moment of every song the very best that it can be. We are not the type of band to just churn out songs with next to no quality control – we scrutinize every riff, lick, hook, melody, lyric and ask – can we do it better? This has been a long, hard and collaborative process that has not only produced some of the best songs we have ever written but some of the best collective performances on any Eden’s Curse album to date” enthuses bassist Paul Logue.
Guitarist Thorsten Koehne added “We are known as Eden’s Curse for writing some good hooks, so we can always come up with that, but one thing we wanted to do on this album was bring out the technical side of the band a little more as well as make it heavier”.
‘Cardinal’ is the first studio album to feature drummer John Clelland (Code Of Silence), who appeared on 2015’s ‘Live With The Curse’ double live release, and new Finnish keyboard player Christian ‘Chrism’ Pulkkinen (Simulacrum, Adamantra)
Opener ‘Prophets Of Doom’ hurtles out of the speakers with its double bass attack and strong riffing, wrapped around some huge vocal hooks and multi-layered keyboards – it’s a signal of intent!
Followed hot on its heels is lead single ‘Sell Your Soul’ – an uplifting, upbeat and extremely catchy song featuring some wonderful guitar/synth interplay between Koehne and Chrism again topped off by the fabulous voice of Nikola Mijic.
The sensational near 7 minute epic progressive ballad ‘Find My Way’ is, simply put, one of the finest songs Eden’s Curse has ever written. With it’s sonic layers and huge dynamic landscapes, it’s candy for the ears on this passionate and epic track – that simply has everything! From Mijic’s heartfelt vocals, Chrism’s subtle piano and overblown keyboards, Logue and Clelland’s thunderous rhythms,Koehne’s razor sharp guitars, a wall of orchestral strings to its anthemic soar-away chorus – this song is a real tour de force!
‘Unconditional’ is a stunning radio friendly track featuring a duet between Mijic and former Leaves’ Eyes vocalist Liv Kristine. “It’s not a ballad, per se, as it rocks out in places, but it’s a song very much in the same vein as ‘Unbreakable’, with its pop sensibilities, style and melodies. It could arguably be the most commercial sounding track we’ve ever written! The contrast between Liv and Nikola’s voices works so well and adds a real personal touch to what is essentially a love song” declares Logue.
Liv Kristine comments “It was such a pleasure and honor working with Eden’s Curse. I love this track – it’s like the freshness of a sunny, really early Saturday morning. It’s powerful, highly interesting and passionate. Nikola’s voice is outstanding and gripping – a superb duet partner! I hope we get the chance to perform ‘Unconditional’ live some day”.
Closing ‘Cardinal’ is the album’s second epic track, the near 8 minute ‘Jericho’, based on the biblical tale of the Battle of Jericho. A real story both lyrically and musically, it is quintessential Eden’s Curseand surely destined to become a live fan favourite. “It has everything including the kitchen sink in it! I really wanted to write a long epic tune that has lots of dynamics, musically and lyrically, and could take the listener on a journey into the heartlands of the desert. This song was really great fun to write, together with Thorsten, especially the long instrumental section in the middle. I think this will be great fun to play live! It sounds like our songs ‘No Holy Man’ and ‘Jerusalem Sleeps’ marry, have a baby and name him ‘Jericho'” remarks Logue.
‘Cardinal’ is once again superbly mixed by the band’s long time engineer Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream 69, Krokus, Angra) with the artwork designed by another established collaborator in graphic artist Thomas Ewerhard (Edguy, Avantasia, Jorn Lande, James Labrie, MasterPlan). It is presented in a stunning triple gatefold digipak offering.
“Each Eden’s Curse album has its own unique identity and ‘Cardinal’ is no different. Besides the old guard of Thorsten and I, the newer guys like John and Chrism have added so much to the sound. John’s accurate and tasteful drumming is a real highlight on the record and Chrism could very well be the best keyboard player we have ever had. Great sounds, ideas and the interplay with Thorsten is at times breathtaking! Nikola continues to go from strength to strength as the band’s singer and proves to be a real find for us vocally and as a person. Plus the bass and the songs aren’t so bad either” laughsLogue. “The record has some absolute classics that will waltz into our live set with consummate ease. We are extremely proud of what is our biggest production to date. We love it and know our fans will too” he further adds.

Well we didn’t get a full announcement of Android 2.3, but Google CEO Eric Schmidt just confirmed the Nexus S would run Gingerbread and should be available in the “next few weeks”. When he pulled out the “unannounced phone” to give a brief preview of Google Maps, you could clearly see that he was on T-Mobile, which is rumored to be a launch partner.
When questioned about his comment that Google would never product a Nexus Two, Eric Schmidt joked that was still correct since the new phone will be called Nexus S (and S was a dyslexic 2). He also hinted that mobile payments would play a large role in Gingerbread and that a phone like the Nexus S could replace credit cards.
Now we know for certain that the phone is real, but it remains a mystery what the hardware specs will be. Originally we reported it would be a single-core 1.2 GHz Hummingbird processor, but our sources say that version was scrapped in favor of a faster dual-core model.

Sophis Drives Central European Expansion
Portfolio and risk management systems vendor Sophis has just opened its German office in Frankfurt. The company, already established in England, France, Ireland, Japan, China and United States, said it was continuing its geographical expansion in order to tighten its links with the Central European market. Sophis software is already used in German banks such as Hypo-Vereinsbank and LBBW. But the on-going demand for sophisticated portfolio and risk management solutions has encouraged the establishment of a strong local presence, the firm said. The office will be managed by Luwei SHI, who was appointed as Regional Sales Manager.

A little more than two weeks ahead of the May 16 opening of the Atlanta airport’s new international terminal, city leaders are hailing its ability to strengthen the city’s access to emerging global markets.
Now that Europe has been weakened by the debt crisis, and West Coast airports maintain better connections to Asia, none of the emerging markets are more important for Atlanta than those in Latin America. In a speech to Atlanta business leaders last fall, Delta Air Lines Inc. CEO Richard Anderson said the new terminal will help make Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport the gateway for Latin America and that the city might eventually replace Miami as the entry point to that region.
Whether that ambition is years from realization, or even just hyperbole, the terminal is a powerful economic development tool that gives Atlanta the means to at least put Miami — a traditional competitor for corporate relocations — in its sights as the No. 1 destination for Latin American companies that want to expand in the United States.
“It definitely helps,” said Nicolas Ferri, vice president for Delta Air Lines – Latin America and Caribbean. “I think it is great for Atlanta and the state of Georgia to raise its profile even further in those Latin American regions.”
Hartsfield-Jackson is already the city’s greatest economic development tool, and has been for years. But the new 1.2 million-square-foot terminal wouldn’t be enough by itself to overcome the deep Latin American ties that Miami has forged.
Even so, the terminal can make Atlanta a magnet for those Latin American companies that see the airport, and its connectivity to the U.S., as a big reason to locate here.
Foreign companies, when they look to relocate to Atlanta, want to know “How do I reach my clients?” said Jorge Fernandez, vice president of global commerce for the Metro Atlanta Chamber and formerly international and alliance vice president for Delta Air Lines.
Hartsfield-Jackson’s fast access to U.S. cities gives it an upper hand over Miami International Airport. “You can fly to 80 percent of the U.S. ... in two hours non-stop from Atlanta airport,” Fernandez said. “The number of domestic connections that airport has are second to none.”
For years, Atlanta and Miami have often chased the same companies for corporate relocations, including, most recently Chiquita Inc., which was moving its Cincinnati headquarters. It sought another city with quick access to Latin America, the banana company’s primary source of fruit. It finally chose Charlotte, N.C., late last year.
“I think both Atlanta and Houston have been formidable competitors,” said Manny Mencia, senior vice president with Enterprise Florida Inc., the state’s economic development arm. “In both cases you have excellent transportation and logistic links, very good business climates and significant clusters of international companies.”
Metro Atlanta is home to large European subsidiaries such as Siemens Industry Inc.; Porsche Cars North America Inc. and Heidelberg USA Inc. (Germany); InterContinental Hotels Group Plc (United Kingdom); and Merial Ltd. (France).
Miami’s strength has been its ability to land new Latin American operations for U.S.-based and international companies. Recent wins include Latin American headquarters and expanded operations for Wells Fargo & Co., Harley-Davidson Inc., HBO, and Alpina Foods LLC, a South American dairy producer, Mencia said.
A big difference between Miami’s and Atlanta’s international business climates is the large number of specialized Miami service providers, from attorneys to consultants to accountants, that can speak the language of their Latin American clients.
“There is a large Spanish-speaking population in Miami with links to all the nations of the Americas,” Mencia said. “It creates a preference in the mind of many Latin American companies that Miami and South Florida are the easiest places to do business in the United States.”
Although Mencia said Atlanta has several strengths it can tout to Latin American companies, as a hub for the Americas, Miami simply has “built-in advantages.”
There is no doubt that Miami is the traditional gateway from Latin America to United States and that Atlanta is playing catch-up, Fernandez said.
“Keep in mind, we did not reach out to Latin America from Atlanta until 1999 when Delta opened the Latin American service.”
But, others, such as Enrique Alvarez, managing director of an Atlanta logistics company called Kronoz, argues the city is a well-established Latin American hub. The new terminal, he said, strengthens Atlanta’s position as a global player.
Alvarez, who hails from Mexico City, said he looked at cities including Miami for his U.S. headquarters. Kronoz has offices across North and Latin America, and provides shipping needs for clients such as Whirlpool, Universal Shipping Containers, The Coca-Cola Co. and Kimberly-Clark.
Atlanta was the natural choice for his U.S. headquarters because of its primo work force, its strategic location and its increasing transportation options, which allow the company to distribute products by airplane, ship, truck or train.
“Miami-headquartered companies are starting to look to Atlanta for logistics solutions,” Alvarez said.

Things to Consider When Shopping for an Industrial Pump
Industrial pumps do not come cheap. This means that you ought to be keen to choose the right type of pumping system. Industrial pumps come in a myriad of brands, meaning that comparing several of them would be possible. Since you would only choose the right pump if you know how, it is advisable to research on how to choose the right device. What should you look for in such a system?
You have to determine your needs prior to making a decision. What exactly do you need the system for? Understanding this would help avoid spending money on the wrong system. If you are uncertain regarding the type of device to choose, it pays to seek the help of a knowledgeable expert. A reliable expert would assess your pumping device needs and then give you quality advice regarding what to choose. It is true that most dealers would be willing to help, but you should be keen to avoid dishonest ones.
You should choose a pump in respect to the type of liquids you would be pumping. It would be a bad move assuming that any device that can move liquids would be a good choice. You need a system that can move such liquids effectively. Things like the alkalinity, acidity, temperature, and concentration of solids in the liquids you would be pumping dictate the type of pump to choose. The size of the particles in the liquids is another important factor to consider.
Consider end use requirements before making a decision. It could be that a device has what it takes to handle the liquids you need it to pump. However, if it does not meet your requirements regarding flow rate, choosing it would be a bad decision. If … Read More ...


CHESTNUT HILL, Ma. -- On a gorgeous day on the heights, Boston College grabbed their fourth straight win to end the non-conference schedule, taking down UConn 21-14.
UConn got on the board first, though, as Thomas Castellanos fumbled on the opening drive and the Huskies responded with a touchdown.
The Eagles responded with a scoring drive of their own. Castellanos authored a 75-yard drive that ended in a Kye Robichaux touchdown knotting it up at 7, and they took the lead on their next drive with a Castellanos-to-Alex Broome six-yard touchdown pass.
BC had an opportunity late in the first half on the UConn 17-yard line, though Castellanos was intercepted in the end zone to keep it a one-score game heading into the half.
The Eagles then had a missed field goal on their opening drive of the second half on Liam Connor's missed kick, but Robichaux took a 13-yard run into the end zone to give BC a 21-7 lead late in the third.
UConn picked up a touchdown early in the third quarter, but they missed a field goal with seven minutes to go and BC iced the clock from there to pick up the win.
BC travels to Syracuse Friday night as they have four games left on the conference slate.

Look at those legs!
After reaching her goal weight just weeks ago, Jessica Simpson showed off her gorgeous gams by wearing a pair of True Religion Joey cut-offs. The Weight Watchers spokeswoman, who famously wore a pair of Daisy Dukes in 2005's The Dukes of Hazzard, looked happy and healthy at 10 Speed Coffee in Malibu Sunday. Simpson completed her look with a white tee, a printed top, wedge heels and a statement necklace.
The "With You" singer has yet to reveal exactly how much weight she's dropped since giving birth to son Ace Johnson in June 2013, but Marco Borges recently estimated that Simpson "lost somewhere between 60-70 pounds." Borges, a personal nutritionist, trainer and wellness specialist, analyzed before-and-after pictures of the engaged mother of two. "I've always recommended women give themselves six months to get back to their pre-pregnancy weight," he told E! News. "They'll typically lose the first half in about six weeks, so this gives them plenty of time to get the rest off after that."
Per Weight Watchers, a healthy weight range for a person of Simpson's stature is 113 to 141 pounds.
Simpson has credited her family with keeping her fit. "[Eric Johnson] and I go on walks together," she told USA Today last year. "I try and walk about four miles a day consistently. It makes me feel better."
"With both kids I'm running up and down my stairs a million times," said the pop star, whose firstborn daughter Maxwell Johnson will turn 2 on May 1. "Kids can keep your metabolism going."
The native Texan has also been working with personal trainer Harley Pasternak four days a week for 45 minutes. "It's a lot of resistance training, lots of lunges and squats," Simpson said of the exercise routine Pasternak crafted for her. "There are bursts of cardio throughout the workout as well."

Presented by Associação Cultural OKNA in co-production with Câmara Municipal do Porto and with the support of local and international cultural institutes, BEAST International Film Festival will continue its activities after its online edition in March this year.
From films available on VOD platforms, and live activities and discussions with members of the film industry on Facebook and YouTube, the festival surpassed the 10,000 views mark and proved the viability of an enriching online experience.
In view of the recent measures proposed by Portugal health guidelines, BEAST IFF now extends its programming to the traditional cinemas in Porto, which have always welcomed us.
So far, 16 unique screenings are planned between April 29 and June 3. Highlights of the online program will be showcased, as well as new films for those who attended the 4th edition of BEAST International Film Festival from the comfort of their homes.
On April 29, Cinema Passos Manuel will host the premiere session of the 4th BEAST IFF on-site program with the festival’s opening film, “Ivana The Terrible“, by director Ivana Mladenović. In addition to debuting the 2021 on-site edition, Cinema Passos Manuel will also host BEAST IFF sessions every Thursday, until the 3rd of June.
Espaço Cultural Maus Hábitos will also host the festival twice – on the 5th and on the 12th of May. On this first occasion, the event, which will be free of charge, will present the short and medium-length films that won the Official Competition of BEAST International Film Festival this year.
Casa das Artes, in turn, will host two sessions of the new Portuguese Abroad program, on the 6th and 8th of May. Other cultural sites in the city of Porto, such as Cinema da Trindade, Café Candelabro and Livraria Térmita will also screen films from the festival’s program.

Will Young shocked his fans this week when he quit Strictly Come Dancing.
The show is only in it's third week but Will pulled out due to "personal reasons."
And now, it's revealed just how much money he'll lose by breaking his contract with the BBC.
According to The Telegraph, the singer faces a loss of £20,000 (€22,000) for quitting the show, which means he'll only receive £5,000 (€5,500) of his reported fee for taking part.
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding his exit from the infamous series, with many saying it's because of his bust-up with Len Goodman on the second week of the show.
Others are claiming that it's because of his anxiety issues, while more sources are saying he's just "dandy."
Whatever the reason, we'll miss him.

Femi Kuti’s Remix of ‘Politics Na Big Business’ feat. 2face Idibia & Sound Sultan
Perfect timing is what we call the release of Femi Kuti’s remix of his single “Politics Na Big Business“, a track off the album “No Place for My Dreams” featuring 2face Idibia & Sound Sultan.
Considering the heated atmosphere in Nigeria now with the elections fast approaching, the message being passed to the Nigerian citizens could not have come at a better time. The legendary Afro beat artiste tells his fellow citizens to realize that the country’s welfare is in their hands and they should make smart choices in the choice of a leader.
Listen to the music:


Perth’s ColourMind is back with another single, “Trust” from their forthcoming album, Perfecting Failure.
Like “Fight For My Life” and “Endless”, their latest single continues to drive the rock and pop punk energy of the band.
“Trust” finds the foursome of Jonny Essiech (guitars), Jimmy Watson (vocals, guitars), Matt Wenke (drums), and Tristan Chopping (bass) providing another infectious single.
The song has the best elements of rock – aggressive drums that make one’s heart and head bang, deftly played guitars, and an infectious rumble of bass.
The song also has the best elements of pop punk – catchy and anthem-esque lyrics that one can sing and scream at the top of their lungs.
The more I listen to ColourMind, the more they make me miss the days of Warped Tour and watching dozens of pop-punk, rock, and metal bands live for hours on end in the sweltering summer sun. While I officially call myself too old to be doing day long festivals like Warped Tour and thrashing about in a pit, I can at least still have the music of my youth thanks to bands like ColourMind.
“Trust” is infectious, catchy, and a goddamn banger. Raise your hands in the air and bang you head to this one.


My colleague Amy Harder has a look at the strategic leaking House Republicans and the Obama Administration are doing in an attempt to win a political advantage from the collapse of the stimulus-backed solar company Solyndra.
After Republicans released a string of e-mails designed to make the administration look bad for providing Solyndra with federal assistance, Democrats fired back yesterday with letters Republicans wrote asking the Energy Department to give their favored clean-energy companies similar federal help.
Here's a look at those letters.
Over the past week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee has strategically released other e-mails to The Washington Post and ABC News suggesting the administration tried to rush approval of the $535-million loan guarantee the Energy Department awarded Solyndra, and also that White House officials feared the political fallout of Solyndra's bankruptcy. ...On Wednesday, Bloomberg News cited a letter showing that House Oversight and Investigations Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., asked for federal help for clean-energy projects in his state. (Issa's committee holds Thursday's hearing titled, "How Obama's Green Energy Agenda is Killing Jobs.") The White House, the Energy Department, and the Democratic National Committee then e-mailed other reporters offering copies of the letter.Reporters also were sent letters showing House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., Sen. David Vitter, R-La., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, once sought federal help for clean-energy projects in their districts or states.

TWIN FALLS • It’s never too early or too late to start saving for college.
That was the message that representatives from IDeal, a state college savings program, had for children at an after-school program Tuesday at the Twin Falls Salvation Army.
State Treasurer Ron Crane missed the visit to Twin Falls because he was ill, said Christine Stoll, executive director of IDeal.
Crane was to spend this week talking with families at schools and after-school programs throughout Idaho about the importance of saving now for higher education. The next stop for the IDeal program tour is Pocatello.
“Today is part of our tour of awareness, and we are here to talk to students about making it (higher education) attainable,” Stoll said. “It’s not just for little kids. It doesn’t matter if your child is 16 years old or you are going back to school. It’s never too late to start saving.”
The cost of a college education has risen 1,120 percent over the past 30 years, says a recent study by Bloomberg news service. That has resulted in increased reliance on public aid.
IDeal is a 529 college savings plan, operated by state or educational institutions, designed to help families set aside funds for college costs. The program offers tax-deferred growth, generous contribution limits, investment options and professional investment management, says its website, www.idsaves.org.
“As your child matures, the investment matures,” Stoll said. “If you don’t start thinking about it now, it will come sooner than you think.”
The IDeal tour is in concert with Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter’s proclamation of September as Idaho College Savings Month.
Stoll and Travis Schaat, secretary of IDeal’s board, sat with children at the Twin Falls after-school program to talk about the importance of saving.
Names were drawn for three prizes, two tickets to the Faulkner Planetarium and $500 to start an IDeal account.
Isaac Lopez, 9, and Sophie Bartlett, 6, won the planetarium tickets. Austen Snow, 11, won the $500 IDeal account.
Children who have education savings accounts are seven times more likely to pursue higher education, Stoll said.
What does Snow want to be when she grows up? A teacher or a veterinarian.
And what would Snow tell her parents when she got home? “I need to save up for college.”

i've realized that it doesn't have to be so and there may be more creativity left in me . . even in the stable and normally regular times in life
stable and normally regular, bring with it connotations that include a similarity to other like comparable entities . . . unfortunately my arrogant self righteous uniqueness will at times forbid me from aligning myself with any definable entity . . therein lies the answer to my writing woes . . . therein i can rise like a phoenix (excuse the drama, i've been watching harry potter) and reclaim that which is my voice, stifled for the last long months . . .
when so many days go by and you've hardly had a chance to glance at a calender, it's time to sit and ponder what's passing you by and what's important in your life you may be missing . . it is time for me . . sometimes it is a constant battle . . sometimes the immediate importance of work or rest have to take a back seat when i look at my big picture and realize i will have remembered none of the work and all of the meaningful moments . . well hopefully all . . this is when i have to prioritize and hope for the best in the things i put lower on that list
i recently started rewatching six feet under . . . and it moves me like it did and it moves me like it didn't and it doesn't stir parts of me that it used to . . . there is such a matter of fact and direct lifeline to death in this series that i find it useful to connect and channel my past and current pain . . sometimes when i try to prepare myself for future pain, that doesn't channel quite as well . . but here and now, in sporadic moments i feel the gut wrench of future bad news and it just about doubles me over

Reason…The Immanent Image of the Logos…
Physician of Souls...
Her Rejection: The Third and Final Stage of the Fall…
Priceton Quiz: What does the rosebud signify?…
The third and final step in the fall of Guillaume’s lover occurs when he refuses to listen to the voice of Lady Reason–which is foolish enough in the context of a philosophical and theological tradition in which reason is the highest virtue and divine element within man, but even more so insofar as the lover explicitly recognizes the lady’s exalted identity:
She wore a noble crown upon her head.
A queen she might have been, but more did seem,
To judge by her appearance and her face,
An angel come, perhaps, from paradise.
Nature could hardly frame a work so fair.
‘Twas God himself, unless the Scriptures lie,
Who in his image and his likeness formed
This godlike one, and her with power endowed
To rescue men from rash and foolish acts,
Provided that her counsel they’ll believe.
But the lover doesn’t accept her counsel, any more than he accepted the counsel of the admonitory tale of Narcissus, which he blithely re-actualizes. He rejects it (though its function, as he notes, is “to rescue men from rash and foolish acts”), and though the Reason that appears to him is the Logos itself, second Person of the Trinity, “the likeness and image” of God the Father, of which the reason immanent in the human soul is also the “likeness and image”.
When the dreamer disdains to take Reason’s advice, he is thus denying what is highest in himself, and, of course, repeating the archetypal pattern. Instead of referring the beauty of the rose to the sovereign rational and masculine component of the soul–like the beauty of the vase in John’s the Scot’s allegory of the Fall–, the dreamer allows its image to remain fixed in his “outer garden”, “the woman”.
Like Lady Philosophy in Boethius’ Consolation, Dame Reason tells the lover in the Roman that he is himself the cause of his own imprisonment. Only a fool, she says, would make a friend of Idleness:
‘Twas evil hour
At which you came into that shady park
Of which the key is kept by Idleness,
Who ope’d the gate for you. One is a fool
Who makes acquaintance with that tempting maid,
Whose sweet companionship is perilous.
You’ve been deceived and brought to grief by her;
For had not Idleness conducted you
Into the garden that is named Delight
The God of Love had never seen you there…
But ‘tis no wonder; men are fools in youth.
Now I should like to give you this advice:
Into oblivion consign that god
Who has so weakened, tortured, conquered you.
I see no other way to healthful cure…
Nothing but foolishness is this disease
Called love; ‘twere better it were folly named.
Reason has come as the physician of the soul (another classical and thereafter Christian topos) to cure his “lover’s malady”, and then describes his condition using the same equestrian imagery as Andreas Capellanus employs to describe that of his friend Walter:
From day to day it will entrench itself
If you allow this folly to remain.
Now firmly seize the bits between your teeth;
Resist the guidance of your stubborn heart,
Against whose will you’ll have to use some force.
You will be ditched if passion keeps the reins.
I needn’t say much more about Guillaume’s Roman. In future installments, we’ll look at a few brief excerpts from the much longer and more philosophically rich second part by Jean de Meun. In that part, Reason plays a rather bigger role, comparing Blind Cupid to the capricious Goddess Fortuna, and identifying the pleasures of carnal love as one of the Goddess’s deceptive and transitory earthly gifts. The poem ends with a description, moreover, of another garden, the Shepherd’s Park, which is the true Paradise, and the direct antithesis to the garden of Deduit.
But before we leave Guillaume’s Roman, let me draw your attention to one more passage, in which the lover describes his beloved rosebud as if looking at it through a macro lense, just before achieving his kiss.
When I approached the Rose, I found it grown
A little larger than it was before;
A little greater height the bush had gained.
But I was pleased that the unfolding flower
Had not yet spread so as to show the seed,
Which still was by the petals well concealed,
That stood up straight and with their tender fold
Hid well the grains with which the bud was filled.
And, thanked be God, the bud’s maturer curves
Were better hued and comelier than before.
I was abashed, and marveled at the sight.
The fairer the bud, the more Love fettered me;
The happier I, the more I felt his chains.
You tell me what this exalted “rosebud” really signifies.

By Mike Samuels
Heavyweight prospect Jordan Shimmell was unsure and beginning to feel frustrated with being unable to land his next opponent for an April 27th date in Minnesota when he accepted an invitation last week to fly to Going, Austria to spar with heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to help the younger Klitschko brother in preparation for his heavyweight title defense against Francesco Pianeta (28-0, 15 KO’s).
One week into sparring with the younger Klitschko brother and the Hudsonville, Michigan native and seven-time Michigan State Golden Gloves champion can rest a little easier knowing he now has an opponent for his tenth fight as a professional.
Byron “The Bear” Polley (25-14-1, 11 KO’s), a 33-year-old native of Saint Joseph, Missouri, has agreed to face the up and coming Shimmell which is something Jordan respects knowing just how intimidating it may be for someone to take a fight knowing their opponent has been sparring with one of the two best heavyweights of the last decade.
“It is a big advantage for me, but in this sport anything can happen,” Shimmell explained to Cory Olsen of Mlive.com. “It only takes one punch to change a fight. If the tables were turned and my opponent was the one sparring Klitschko before our fight, I’m not sure exactly how I would feel. I suppose I would feel that much better about myself after I won, although I don’t plan on losing my upcoming fight.”
After taking a few big head shots from Dr. Steel Hammer, Shimmell has adjusted well going into the second week of sparring with Klitschko and is sure to walk away from this opportunity a better professional fighter.
“All the sparring partners were able to connect with at least a body shot or two, including myself,” Shimmell said. “I was much more aggressive and came forward with a lot more jabs. I landed a few punches and managed to actually slip out of the way of a few of Wladimir’s punches.”
Bryon Polley is 2-6 with 1-no-contest in his last 8 fights, including a 3rd round TKO loss in his most recent outing against Vinny Maddalone this past December. However, his 25 victories as a professional is the highest win total for any opponent who previously stepped in the squared circle with Shimmell.
Shimmell is up to for the challenge and just thankful to finally be fighting.
“I’m glad I have an opponent lined up for my fight because that takes some of the stress out of the picture,” Shimmell said. “I will continue to train hard and better prepare myself for this upcoming bout.”
Shimmell is sure to cause stress for Polley, having knocked out 8 of his 9 opponents in two rounds or less since turning professional in June of 2012.
Shimmell is coming off a 1st round TKO victory over Brad Johnson this past March.
Prior to joining the pro ranks, Shimmell won seven Michigan State Golden Glove championships including a National Golden Gloves title in 2009.

Finding a Better Way to Grieve
“Joy shared is joy increased, and grief shared is grief diminished.” –Rich Struthers. As a 30-year-old woman, I have learned that letting go of a loved one at any age is definitely not an easy thing to do. My mother died of breast cancer just recently, and I have learned through friends and family how to deal with grief safely and effectively.
There are five main stages of grief: denial, hostility, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. A lot people start with denial, but not everyone does. Some people skip stages, have two at once, or experience them in different order. The following explanation is how I learned to deal with the passing of my mother.
First, I went through denial. I couldn’t believe that my God, whom I have been so faithful to, would take away my mother. Next, I got angry. I blamed God for not curing her cancer; I thought he was doing it to punish me. I skipped the bargaining stage. I felt as if I knew I wasn’t going to get her back, because that was impossible. But I still wished that I could spend a few more days with the one who brought me into this world. I started to loose focus of important things in my life, such as my husband, my job, my kids, and my faith. I was spiraling down into a deep depression. I never wanted to do anything or go anywhere, because everywhere I went and everything I did reminded me of her in some way. At her funeral, I wanted to avoid the situation and not talk about it. I never saw the friends I had, and I never shared my emotions with anyone. But soon enough, my husband and I talked through the grief. It felt good to let out all my feelings and just be real, sharing what I truly felt and how much I missed her.
If you are experiencing the loss of a loved one, there are ways to cope. The best way I’ve found to help diminish grief is to talk to people. Share the pain, laugh about the good times and keep those memories alive, because those are the good ones that...
