- PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CAL POLY THEATRE DEPARTMENT
- ET TU? : Seven conspirators kill the title character in Cal Poly Theatre Department’s production of Julius Caesar.
“Everybody knows what happens to Caesar,” he explained. “But the idea was why did this happen.”
The world he is given to explore is fertile ground for subtle and complex philosophies about morality and patriotism. The traditionally flat, rectangular expanse of stage is replaced with a small titled circle with a jagged line splitting it in half. Elongated panels hang from the ceiling, canvases for text and images that will be projected throughout the play. Students within the Liberal Arts and Engineering Program contributed technological expertise, making the performance one of the most technologically advanced that the theater department has ever done.
Machamer selected a version of the play that scrambles the linear narrative and even removes a few scenes, paring what would ordinarily be a two and a half hour performance down to 90 minutes. The video projections ground the audience by providing a context for each scene; Caesar’s assassination is referred to as day zero, and the play’s order might bounce from two years after day zero to a month before in the space of a few minutes. Shakespeare purists might object, Machamer acknowledges, but shaking up the traditional line-up and juxtaposing different events gives the audience a new way of
looking at the more than 400-year-old play.
Because Shakespeare wrote the play with only two female roles—and neither of them very substantial—Machamer’s version is not gender specific. He has a female Casca, Metellus Cimber, and Decius Brutus, all just as bloodthirsty as their male counterparts. Gender disappears. The costuming assists in this illusion. The goal was to remain consistent with a classical feel, without donning togas or business suits. The solution was simple: frocks, buttoned up, not unlike what Neo wore in The Matrix.
The impression—very deliberately constructed—of the play’s world and its occupants, is one of order, void of color. Caesar’s murder releases color into the world.
Then there’s the moral ambiguity that plagues the conspirators, and especially Marcus Brutus whose brooding character paves the way for
Hamlet. The parallels between his own struggles and contemporary politics are powerful.
“Nobody thinks that they’re a villain,” pointed out Machamer. “Everybody thinks they’re doing right. There is no villain in this play. Everybody is doing what they do because they feel it’s for the good of Rome.”
Setting aside the myriad technical and other assorted behind-the-scenes elements, Shakespeare’s voice rings loud and clear. And ominous.
“I dreamt tonight that I did feast with Caesar,” Ryan Austin opens the play, as Brutus. Traditionally, the line is spoken by Cinna, but Machamer reassigned it to Brutus. Then, suddenly, Brutus’ conspirators are charging the stage coldly, introducing themselves, and their passions, proclaiming their dislike of Caesar.
“Caesar, beware of Brutus,” warns Austin, as Brutus. “Take heed of Cassius,” adds Chase Mullins. “Come not near Casca.” “Have an eye to Cinna.” The threats accumulate as each body steps forward to issue them, perhaps emboldened by the fact that they intend to attack as a pack. “There is but one mind in all these men and it is bent against Caesar,” they proclaim, as one, and even the most uninformed of audiences cannot but know that Caesar’s days are numbered.
The play’s pacing is fast. The actors enter the stage, speak, and exit quickly, more like a dream that cannot be paused than a play. It is a dream that many will never wake from. But for contemporary audiences—safe from daggers and politicians fired with blood lust—it’s a trip to Rome well worth the fare.

Construction for Sydney Metro West project “welcome” in The Bays
by GRACE JOHNSON
Construction for the Sydney Metro West project in The Bays as part of the plan to connect Greater Parramatta to Sydney CBD has been welcomed as a necessary investment in public transport.
The NSW Government announced last week that the two tunnel boring machines (TBMs), Daphne and Beatrice, are on their way from the Five Dock Metro Station site to Burwood North Station site, and will re-launch in the coming weeks.
According to a statement, more than 250 precast tunnel segments will be transported each day from The Bays, through the newly built tunnels beneath Iron Cove to Five Dock.
Transport Minister Jo Haylen said, “Our Metro Review has ensured a new and improved Sydney Metro West will be delivered for the people of NSW, with a focus on driving housing supply.
“The Bays is in full tunnelling mode and teams here are laser-focused on constructing this new metro line that will deliver unrivalled public transport for all of Sydney.”
Construction for the underground railway service began in 2020 and was conceived in a bid to increase housing supply.
The 24-kilometre metro line has confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock, The Bays, Pyrmont and Hunter Street in the Sydney CBD.
The Bays was identified by the NSW Government as one of the priority precincts to be rezoned, having never had a rail service before.
Member for Balmain Kobi Shetty expressed her support for The Bays incoming metro station, saying it was a welcome move away from increasing toll roads.
Speaking with City Hub, she said, “I wholeheartedly welcome state government investment in public transport. Expanding public transport infrastructure including the new Bays Metro Station is really positive for our community.”
“As a global city, Sydney should already have world class public transport – rather than having blown billions on more and more toll roads.”
Referencing the traffic chaos that followed the opening of the Rozelle Interchange, Ms Shetty said, “We know that toll roads do not fix traffic congestion, and that has never been more apparent than after the opening of the Rozelle Interchange.”
“It’s fantastic to see investment in public transport so there are real alternatives to private car travel.”
Current rezoning proposals “totally undemocratic”
However, regarding the rezoning proposal in The Bays West, Ms Shetty said the current proposal is “totally undemocratic”.
Speaking to City Hub, she said that though we undoubtedly need more affordable housing, the government needs to ensure development is done in a sustainable way and involves local councils.
Many councils across Sydney have spoken up about the Minns government’s plan to override local council planning controls, with Local Government NSW also insisting that the government include local councils in solving the housing crisis.
Ms Shetty said, “Time and time again we see that whenever the state government seeks to cut local councils out of the planning process, it is local communities who pay the price.”
“The current rezoning proposal is totally undemocratic, would fast-track development and override heritage protections and local planning laws – placing control in the hands of a developer-friendly state government.”
Referencing once more the havoc wreaked by the opening of the Rozelle Interchange, Ms Shetty emphasised, “There are outstanding questions about the reliability of existing traffic modelling for the Bays West Precinct, with unrealistically low traffic projections.”
Many locals in Rozelle have also called for increased ferry services to help relieve extended commutes as a result of congested roads.
“With our community already facing gridlock following the opening of the Rozelle Interchange, we must approach proposals to increase density thoughtfully.”

Diana has over 30 years of experience training dogs. Her knowledge is wide ranging and she has helped clients with the development of both wonderful pets and sport dogs that work happily and willingly. During her early years of training dogs and teaching classes, Diana never felt satisfied with the methods and philosophies behind traditional training. Her continued search for a better approach led Diana to clicker training and that was the first wonderful step in becoming a trainer who understands how to use positive reinforcement, scientific learning principals and operant conditioning to train dogs. Since that time she has attended many seminars, trained with many different trainers and read extensively on topics related to the scientifically correct approach to dog training. Most importantly, she has helped hundreds of people successfully train their dogs.
Due to her interest in training and showing her own dogs, Diana added sport dog training to her training program. She loves to help people train their dogs for performance events using training methods that motivate dogs to want to work and that develop a strong working relationship between handler and dog. Diana teaches Rally, Obedience and all levels of Agility. She believes training with positive reinforcement creates a better trained dog, a better educated owner and a better relationship between the dog and owner. In addition, she is always training and showing her own dogs, a vital ingredient required in helping others. The world of dog training is improving and evolving at a rapid rate and Diana works hard to keep up with the current learning and to improve her approach and techniques to both her pet dog and sport dog training program. She has trained and titled her own dogs in the areas of Obedience, Rally, Tracking, Schutzhund and Agility. At this time she is having fun with her three amazing Border collies, Trek, Fay and Una and teaching her awesome students at Synergy Dog Sports!

Press Release Summary:
Featuring body withÂ Realtree™ camouflage coating, WorkStar 2030 Hunter's Floodlight has moveable, directional light head and offers choice of magnets orÂ retractable hook for mounting. Cree XP-G, Cool White, 5 W LED light source last for up to 50,000 hr and produces >270 OTF (Out The Front) lumens on high and >90 OTF lumens on low in wide, clear, and uniform floodlight-style beam pattern. This light is capable of running for up to 8 hr onÂ single charge.
Original Press Release:
Electronic Lighting Product Line Adds Tool for Hunters and Military
Lighting tool manufacturer, Maxxeon Inc. is celebrating its 10th anniversary by adding a novel lighting tool to its range of LED inspection lights.
The new WorkStar 2030 Hunter’s Floodlight represents a step into a new market for the company. Up until now, WorkStar products have been designed and manufactured for use by industrial and automotive technicians and tradesmen. The design features such as a moveable, directional light head and a choice between magnets or a retractable hook for mounting the light appeal to technicians who use this type of inspection light on a daily basis. The Hunter’s Floodlight is identical to the company’s original technician’s inspection light, except that the body has been coated with a Realtree ™ camouflage coating. All Maxxeon products use LEDs as the lighting source.
LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode, and an LED is an electronic device that emits light when an electrical current is passed through it. LEDs are up to ten times more efficient than incandescent lights, and are replacing incandescent bulbs in applications such as inspection lights and shop work lights since the LEDs last up to 50,000 hours and, unlike regular bulbs, are next to impossible to break. The high efficiency of LEDs means that LED lighting can be cordless using rechargeable batteries since the current draw of the LED is only a small fraction of the electrical power used by an incandescent bulb.
According to company spokesman John Schira, making the original WorkStar inspection light for other markets such as sportsmen or military, made a lot of sense. “The features of this lighting tool, such as the wide, floodlight-style beam, make it ideal for many purposes outside of the factory or work shop. We think that these prospective customers will really appreciate, the bright, white light, the clear, uniform beam pattern, and the fact that it can run for up to 8 hours on a charge.”
The Maxxeon Hunter’s Floodlight has a MSLP of $139.75 and is available from tool suppliers across the USA and Canada or from the company’s website at www.maxxeon.com

Local artiste Catherine Kusasira is reportedly on the run after escaping from her rented mansion over accruing areas.
According to the latest unfolding on our Blizz news desk, the Presidential Advisor on Kampala Affairs is on the run after being chocked on with over 7months rent area from her landlord.
The Golden Bands singer who is famously known of parading off wads of cash courtesy of the NRM Government where she is affiliated allegedly escaped her landlord's wrath in the wee hours of Thursday morning in a bid of dodging the 7months rent areas having shamelessly failed to surrender it over to her with a good heart.
We have ascertained that the "Enkola ya Taxi" singer's landlord has kick started a manhunt for the singer so as she can be able to clear up her debt without fail.
We shall keep you posted.

Southern Amazonia has been the centre of a large expansion of cropland and cattle production into newly deforested areas in both the Amazon and Cerrado biomes. While this expansion has had noted impacts on the regional water cycle, little information is currently apparent in lifecycle impact assessments of both cropland and cattle products.
This study applies existing models to quantify the mid-point impacts of water consumption and land occupation of cropland and cattle following distinct production systems that rely on agricultural extensification and intensification (cropland irrigation, and increased pasture productivity). It focuses on both terrestrial and aquatic flows, in order to highlight complementarity in current impact assessment models, expressed through the several impact categories that are introduced here: Water Scarcity Footprint, Terrestrial Green Water Flows, Precipitation Reduction Potential, River Blue Water Production, Groundwater Recharge Potential, and Runoff Reduction Potential.
The results show conditional changes in the magnitude and sign of potential impacts when comparing rain-fed to irrigated cropland, particularly in the Cerrado biome. Cropland irrigation can increase atmospheric and terrestrial water flows as expressed through Precipitation Reduction Potential (−95 m3 ha−1), River Blue Water Production (299 m3 ha−1), or Groundwater Recharge Potential (215 m3 ha−1). Moreover, increased pasture productivity led to an overall decrease in mid-point impacts of cattle production on the water cycle.
While this study provides additional insight into the effects of cropland and cattle production systems in Southern Amazonia, our results also highlight the complementarity of existing mid-point impacts towards a better representation of freshwater use in life cycle assessment.
The article is open access until 10 May 2019.

US a real threat to global rules and norms
The Donald Trump administration has isolated the United States, even from some of its close allies, by taking actions that challenge international rules and threaten world peace
For years, many US officials and politicians have been trying, albeit with ulterior motives, to portray China as a rising power which challenges international rules and norms, but judging by what we've seen in the past years, especially past weeks, no country deserves the title of a coercive and disruptive power more than the United States.
The fact that the more than 60 Palestinian civilians killed, including six children, and the over 2,000 injured by Israeli forces were part of the protesters demonstrating against the shifting of the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Monday makes the US directly responsible for the deaths and injuries and the overall mayhem.
The decision to shift the US embassy, announced by US President Donald Trump in December, not only breaks with decades of Washington's foreign policy but also violates United Nations Security Council resolutions that Jerusalem should be the shared capital of Israel and Palestine. Fittingly, the UN General Assembly denounced Trump's decision in December despite US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley's open threat to UN members who "disrespected" the US on the issue.
The embassy decision not only shows that the US cannot be an honest mediator in the Middle East, especially between Israelis and Palestinians, but also demonstrates that the US is a major destabilizing force in the region.
While Trump claimed on Monday that "our greatest hope is for peace", what's happening on the ground suggests otherwise. Trump has opened a second Pandora's box in the Middle East in just one week. Trump's announcement on May 8 to withdraw the US from the Iran nuclear deal, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is clinching evidence of the US' inability to honor a multilateral deal. The UN Security Council unanimously endorsed the deal, after it was reached on July 14, 2015, between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council－the US, China, Russia, Britain and France－plus Germany and the European Union.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly affirmed in the past years that Iran has been complying with the deal. Other parties to the agreement, including the US' close allies in Europe, had tried to dissuade the US from abandoning the deal. But to no avail.
Right after Trump announced the US' withdrawal from the deal, tensions flared up between Iran and Israel, with the two sides firing missiles on each other's targets.
These are just the latest US actions that have violated international rules and norms.
In August 2017, the Trump administration notified the UN that it intends to withdraw from the Paris climate accord reached by more than 190 countries in December of 2015 to fight carbon emissions. Incidentally, the US is historically the largest carbon emitter and its per capita emission is still more than twice that of China's.
In October, the US State Department announced the US would withdraw from the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization at the end of 2018. The US stopped funding the organization in 2011 after UNESCO admitted Palestine as a full member, and its decision to pull out of the UN body reflects a desperate move after it failed to coerce UNESCO to make changes according its demands.
This is not the first time the US has done this, though. The Ronald Reagan administration had withdrawn the US from UNESCO in 1984 saying it was excessively influenced by the Soviet Union. The US had its full membership restored only in 2003 when George W. Bush was US president.
Also, in December 2017, the US announced it would cut $285 million in funding to the 2018-19 UN budget, just days after 120 countries condemned Trump's decision to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The funding cut poses a threat to the UN missions for peacekeeping, environmental protection, humanitarian assistance and public health, issues that are very important to global stability and peace.
Moreover, Trump has called the World Trade Organization "a disaster" for the US and has threatened to break the WTO by imposing protectionist tariffs on imports, and thus violating international trade rules. This is despite the prevalent experts' view that the US and many other countries are the prime beneficiaries of WTO that deals with the global trade rules.
To Trump, who is trying desperately to promote his "America first" policy, every deal the US has inked in the past, whether bilateral or multilateral, is a bad deal if not the worst deal ever for the US. That is why the Trump administration has been blaming almost every major US trade partner for taking advantage of the US, despite the fact that the US has long been using its dominance in the global financial system, its economic power and military might to intimidate other countries, irrespective of whether it deems them adversaries or allies.
Both Canada and Mexico, for example, have complained about the US' bullying tactics while renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was originally signed in 1994. In March, the Trump administration threatened new steel and aluminum tariffs if Canada and Mexico didn't agree to its revisions to NAFTA. And on May 11, Trump called NAFTA "a horrible, horrible disaster" for the US.
Trump has also made unilateral moves that threaten the free flow of trade and investment between the US and China, which include such unreasonable demands as China should reduce its trade surplus with the US by $100 billion each year for the next two years and the Chinese government should stop "subsidizing" its industries. Almost all economists emphasize that the US trade deficit is a result of its fiscal policy and American people's low savings rate, and that the US and many other advanced countries, too, subsidize their industries.
Last week, David Gergen, a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and an adviser to several former US presidents, described Trump's actions as "bullying China".
As a real estate businessman-turned-politician, Trump should know that honoring a deal matters more than anything else in economic relations. Otherwise, why should anyone trust him or the US in any future negotiations? And among the deal he should honor, a very important one is his planned meeting with Democratic People's Republic of Korea leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore on June 12, which incidentally is a rare positive step taken by Trump.
While the latest developments have created uncertainties for the planned meeting, the US is suffering a credibility crisis after its decisions to pull out of and renegotiate so many major deals, especially its decision to pursue regime change in Libya in 2011 even after Muammar Gadhafi had abandoned his nuclear weapons program.
There are a lot more hurdles to be cleared, more on the US side than on the DPRK side, to show what kind of compromises they are willing or able to make given the long-standing hostility and distrust between the two countries.
So far, most critics have used unilateralism and isolationism to describe Trump's actions. Indeed, the US has been quite isolated, even from some of its close allies, for taking actions that have disrupted and challenged international rules and norms and are threatening world peace.
It's important therefore for Trump to know that his disruptive actions run contrary to his slogan of "Make America Great Again", as they will "make America less great".

KATHMANDU, May 2: The Department of Immigration (DoI) has actually detained Canadian person Robert Penner for misusing his visa and breaking the immigration laws.
Penner had actually acquired working visa for a sprout innovation company, which was already dissolved in 2012, but working for Cloud Factory, a foreign outsourcing company, according to the DoI.
A group from the Metropolitan Police Range, Lalitpur, had actually jailed Penner on Monday and handed him over to the DoI. DoI had requested authorities to detain him.
Director General at the DoI Kedar Neupane informed Republica that he was brought to DoI detention center for breaching Nepal’s migration law.
” He obtained visa for working at an IT company however he was found engaged in making intriguing declarations that might endanger national stability,” said Neupane, including, “Foreigners are not enabled to participate in such activities.”
He added that they will start the process to cancel his visa and deport him to Canada.
A source at the DoI informed Republica that they got complaints that Penner had been participating in activities that might hurt Nepal’s nationwide integrity. “We had to apprehend him due to his suspicious activities and for misusing his visa,” stated the source.
Penner would tweet in favor of Madhes movement. He had actually likewise composed questionable tweets about the arrest of journalist Kanak Mani Dixit. Need Help With Divorce Issues? Feel free to contact tampa divorce lawyer.
We believe the court should find against the president.
Late in 2014, the president released executive orders briefly lifting the danger of deportation for as many as 5 million unlawful immigrants who have actually been in the country for 5 years and who have children born in the United States, and to children brought by their parents prior to Jan. 1, 2010.
His orders also granted these immigrants temporary legal status and work licenses. Because, the president moved significantly beyond steps taken by other presidents on the concern.
Twenty-six states took legal action against, declaring the action breached the president’s constitutional task to consistently perform laws gone by Congress, and had not been performed in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act.
A federal appeals court has supported a lower court’s order obstructing application of the order.
A number of farm groups have agreed the administration. We comprehend why. Milks, nurseries, fruit growers and veggie producers throughout the West need a source of legal labor ready to do the work citizens mostly decline.
We are also considerate with the predicament of the 12 million or more unlawful immigrants living here in the shadows.
They’re here whether we desire them or not, Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted during arguments.
Undoubtedly. Driven by crushing poverty, and often encouraged by their own governments, illegal immigrants seeking chances difficult in the house have flooded across the border. They have actually placed strains on public education, healthcare and law enforcement.
As soon as here and equipped with created documents they have discovered ready employment on farms and building websites, and in hotels, dining establishments, processing plants and other locations eager for low-cost, trusted labor.
While they work hard at jobs Americans typically wear t want, by their numbers the undocumented workers have altered the characteristics of the whole U.S. labor force. Their repatriation would have a large effect on our economy, leaving lots of markets without feasible replacements.
While we have compassion with their circumstance, we can’t support this solution.
We yield that the president has wide discretion in prosecuting deportation cases, even if using such discretion so broadly extends the typical exercise of the authority.
But in giving prohibited immigrants momentary legal status and work permits, the president has actually exceeded his constitutional authority. The Constitution (Article 1, area 8) offers Congress sole power to develop a uniform guideline of naturalization. Congress has actually enacted laws that lay out the process for immigrants to be granted legal status in the United States, and the president cannot change that by fiat.
It’s as if the president is specifying the policy and the Congress is executing it, Justice Anthony Kennedy stated. That’s simply upside down.
Exactly. Just Congress can alter the law.
The law ought to be changed to offer deserving prohibited immigrants living and working in the United States who meet strict requirements a path to irreversible residency. However, this is not the way.
The outcomes? Assistance: 52 percent, Oppose: 44 percent, Unsure: 4 percent.
Another more revealing question: Regardless of what you think about the program, in taking this action do you believe Obama acted within his authority as president, or do you believe he surpassed his authority as president?
The results? Within his authority: 47 percent, Beyond his authority: 49 percent, Unsure: 4 percent.
A representative for the Immigration Policy Center stated that although Americans regularly acknowledge that the United States is a nation of immigrants, the system of laws that govern who can immigrate, who can visit, who can remain, and under exactly what conditions is largely unidentified to many people. As a useful manner, migration law should be something that is updated and revised constantly to reflect present financial and political conditions, changes in social issues, and to react to foreign policy and humanitarian issues.
One sad example: On June 27, 2013, a bipartisan cost, S. 744, for extensive full-blown reform of immigration law (huge 488 pages) sponsored by four Democratic and four Republican senators (consisting of Marco Rubio) passed the U.S. Senate 68-32 and was sent out over to your home where it passed away. No hearings in committee. Nothing. Actually incredible.
After it ended up being clear the Congress was going to not do anything, the president on November 20, 2014 announced a series of executive actions on immigration which would allow about 4 million unapproved immigrants to obtain security from deportation and make an application for work permits.
It was clear in reviewing the law and previous action by previous presidents that the president had the power and authority to provide these executive orders. Please note, President Obama has deported 2.5 million undocumented immigrants, more than any president in history. Feel free to contact atlanta immigration attorney for more detailed consultation.
Soon after the president issued his executive orders a lawsuit was submitted in December 2014 by 26 states (primarily Republican) in the Federal District Court in Brownsville, Texas to keep the programs from entering into result. Many are suing straight as a state, by means of the chief law officer; in a few cases where the attorney general of the United States is a Democrat however the guv is a Republican, the guv joined the lawsuit individually.
On the other hand, 13 states submitted a brief siding with the federal government and advising the judge to let the executive orders stand. It ought to be kept in mind that the 2 judges maintaining the injunction were appointed by Republican presidents and the one opposing by a Democrat.
The basic question legally in this case is whether or not the president s executive actions were constitutional. The Times kept in mind that the president s actions did not alter anybody s legal status; it simply enabled certain undocumented immigrants to momentarily look for work without the constant worry of being torn from their children and households.
On Monday, April 18, the Supreme Court faced a momentous obstacle. The Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Texas which the New York Times described as one of the most ostentatious examples in current memory of a naked political dispute masquerading as a legal one.

This angel is the the legendary author of The Book of the Angel Raziel --"wherein all celestial and earthly knowledge is set down." The Book of the Angel Raziel is reputed to contain the 1,500 keys to the mysteries of the universe. Unfortunately, they are written in a language so arcane and impossible to decipher (without presumably the aid of Raziel himself) that not even the greatest angels of heaven are able to figure it out. Raziel is also ranked as the special patron to the first human.
Raziel, called the angel of mysteries, is the possessor of a staggering amount of information on all matters secret, arcane, and mysterious; his knowledge stems from the fact that he stands at the curtain separating God from the rest of Creation and hears and notes everything that is said around His throne. He supposedly wrote it all down, and because of his pity for the plight of Adam and Eve, gave the book to Adam that he might better understand God. This did not go over well with some of the other angels, and they stole the book from Adam and threw it into the sea. God, instead of punishing Raziel, retrieved the book and returned it to Adam.The book later passed to Enoch, who would become the angel Metatron. He is also the author of the tome from which Noah learns to build the ark. This is not to be confused with Raphael, who is the angel to give Raziel's tome to Noah, but did not write it himself.
Raziel is one of the cherubim, the guardian of originality and the realm of pure ideas. He is knowledgeable in several mystical arts and can explain the truth behind many occult truths in the universe. One of the most interesting things Raziel can give you is an understanding of the energy currents in the magical universe and how to manipulate them to various ends.

At his September 12 announcement of candidacy for the U.S. Senate, Senator Brown articulated a core set of beliefs that guide his thinking. * Government is too big and that the federal stimulus bill made government bigger instead of creating jobs * Taxes are too high and are going higher if Congress continues with its out-of-control spending * The historic amount of debt we are passing on to our children and grandchildren is immoral * Power concentrated in the hands of one political party, as it is here in Massachusetts, leads to bad government and poor decisions * A strong military and vigorous homeland defense will protect our interests and security around the world and at home * All Americans deserve health care, but we shouldn't have to create a new government insurance program to provide it - Caption Credit: brownforussenate.com / Image Credit: SENATUS
Obama to three-peat in defeat - Trip to Massachusetts, Sunday
Barack Obama places his prestige and programs to make America into a vision of all Government ... all the time, on the line through an impulsive last minute campaign trip to Massachusetts. Obama goes to the overwhelingly Democrat state (Massachusetts has over 1 million more registered Democrats than any other political party) on Sunday to stump for Democratic nominee Martha Coakley, who is in a dead heat with Republican candidate Scott Brown for (the former) "Ted Kennedy's Senate seat".
President Obama's charm offensive didn't work in New Jersey or Virginia, where Republicans won crucial gubernatorial races in November. Will it work in Massachusetts? In fact, the stakes are even higher for the president than they were in last year's gubernatorial races, as he seeks to avoid losing a critical 60th vote in the Senate for his signature health care overhaul that is nearing the finish line in Congress.
If Brown wins Tuesday, Republicans pick up their 41st vote, which would be enough to sustain a filibuster and possibly kill the reform bill.
The most recent poll has Brown leading by 4 percentage points, and the Republican state senator reportedly is raising money at a rate of $1 million a day. Meanwhile, Coakley's campaign is under fire for the way she's run her campaign, going from front-runner to barely competitive after taking it easy following her primary victory in December.
The president's decision to hit the campaign trail again is a stunning reversal from what the White House had been saying in recent days and reflects the deep concerns the Democrat political party hold over their chances Tuesday.

Massachusetts senate race hinges on independent vote
Massachusetts is one of the most Democratic states in the country. But moderate Republicans have done well there too over the years, and independent voters are likely to make the difference in the special US Senate race.
By Tracey D. Samuelson Correspondent / January 16, 2010
Massachusetts has long been regarded as a liberal stronghold, but the special election to replace Sen. Edward Kennedy in the US Senate is showing Massachusetts has a more conservative streak as well.
Brown’s success may have to do with his ability to appeal to independent voters in the Bay State – 51 percent of voters here are unenrolled.
True, Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1, and the state can be counted on to elect Democratic presidential candidates by consistently wide margins – President Obama won here with a 26-point margin in 2008, Sen. John Kerry by 25 points in 2004.
It’s results like these that routinely place Massachusetts as one of the top states for Democrats in rankings of party affiliation. Last year, a Gallup survey named Massachusetts the third-most Democratic state, behind only Washington D.C. and Rhode Island.
But Massachusetts voters also gave Republicans the key to the governors’ office for 16 straight years, from 1990 to 2006.
For Coakley and Brown, it’s the state’s independents who will likely determine the outcome of the race.
“The majority of registered voters now are independents,” says David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University in Boston, which conducted Thursday’s poll. “Despite the fact that they are people who say … they don’t want to be tied to one party, independents have emerged as the political party in Massachusetts now. It’s really about the independent voter.”
Most independents favor Brown
Suffolk’s poll shows 65 percent of voters who identify themselves as independent favor Brown.
“I am running in the name of all independent-thinking citizens, whether they are Democrats, Republicans, or unenrolled, to take on one-party rule,” Brown wrote in a Boston Globe op-ed column published Friday.
His focus on homeland security, in particular, is “a perfect issue to lead with” to attract independent voters, says Stewart.
In contrast, Coakley has stuck close to her Democratic base, focusing on abortion rights, healthcare reform, and, more recently, the economy.
In fact, Coakley’s support of the healthcare reform bill might hurt her with independents, 56 percent of whom oppose the proposed national legislation.
Still, while independents may prefer Brown, they are also historically much less likely to turn out to vote.
“They’re half the electorate, but they’re not half the voting power,” says Stewart. “The great middle is tending toward Brown, so then the question is who turns out.”
Before deciding to visit the state this weekend, the president did come to Coakley's aid by cutting an online video for her, calling on supporters to put on their "walking shoes" and bring out people to vote.
"In Washington, I'm fighting to curb the abuses of a health insurance industry (through granting excemptions to Unions on paying a proposed 40% tax on "Cadillac" or premium health care insurance plans and bribing Senators through Stimulus tax monies) that routinely denies care," Obama said. "I'm fighting for financial reforms to stop Wall Street from playing havoc with our economy (while giving unlimited funding to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so that they can continue to operate outside of proper banking practices). I'm fighting to create a new, clean energy economy (with a proposed Cap & Trade law that would make it very costly to exhale CO2 - "a tax on breathing" - and practically make the Coal industry non-existent through punitive taxation).
"And it's clear now that the outcome of these and other fights will probably rest on one vote in the United States Senate."
Thank God! ... and Godspeed to Scott Brown on becoming a US Senator and slowing down this edition of Carter's Second Term.

With his velocity too far down to make a minor league rehab assignment a possibility, Brandon Webb will stop pitching in games in extended spring training in order to work on his mechanics.
The Rangers seem to be hoping that Webb can build some arm strength by focusing on his delivery in bullpen sessions. Reports had him working at 79-81 mph in his last appearance, which is a good five mph short of where he’d need to be to stand any sort of chance against major league hitters.
Webb, who last pitched in the majors since April 2009, typically worked at 87-90 mph while winning 56 games in a three-year span from 2006-08.

This is a fully-illustrated and fascinating exploration of Tolkien's well-known fantasy trilogy and its just as well-known movie adaptations. Provided is a breakdown of the movie plots, with some behind-the-scenes information included, alongside stills featuring the actors at work.I was pleasantly surprised to find some facts I did not previously know and just love any LOTR content in any format, so knew this was going to be a winner for me, regardless.
The Lord of the Rings Complete Visual Companion includes all of the information from The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King visual companions, but with updated photos from the extended versions of the films. There are several new sections in this complete omnibus edition, including the Corsairs of Umbar, the crowning of King Elessar, and the Grey Havens. This is definitely a fun and enjoyable read for any fan of Middle Earth, whether young or old!
Reading this was like going back to a place where magic and all sorts or creatures and different races live and thrive: Middle-Earth. I loved how the author captured most of the scenes throughout the LoTR trilogy and how there was some background about the characters in certain scenes and what they were thinking in some scenes: like Boromir's reaction to Aragorn's identity as Isildur's heir. Recommended for any Lord of the Rings fans here and abroad!
What a fun, beautiful read! The book is full of still photos of the happenings in the movie, but is combined with information from the books. I thought it was put together in the best organized way. I even sketched one of the pictures of Gandalf. I'm sure I'll be drawing more from the pictures in the book.
This is a movie trilogy full of hotties, and this book showcases all the amazingly beautiful people in the cast.
This companion has a few well-written descriptions of characters, events, and locations seen in the movie, but overall lacks both the structure and depth.Structure-wise, one might have a hard time using this book as a visual companion while watching the movies. Personally, I would prefer if the chapters followed the movie runtime, but I wouldn't mind any other form of structure, e.g. using the alphabet to sort the chapters. This way, it seems like the chapters are placed in a random order, which...
Initial thoughts:1. Very comprehensive and reader-friendly.2. Some pictures are (a) blurry, (b), have so much noise, and (c) in low-res.3. Too brief for such an epic.4. Some parts of the individual visual companion for each part of the trilogy are omitted in this bind-up edition.5. Overall, it's not bad, but not great either. Still worthy as a collection for an LOTR fan.

HILDA’S SLIP JIG CHALLENGE Introducing Katie Gregg, our first dancer to take on the FDTA’s ‘Hilda’s Slip Jig’ Challenge. Jigs are so closely associated in peoples’ minds with Irish dance music that the uninitiated seem to think that “jig” is just another word for “Irish dance.” A jig is a particular type of tune ; one that’s marked by a very distinctive “pulse” (underlying rhythm), as you’ll see (or rather, hear). Slip jig (Irish: port luascach, port luascadh) refers to both a style within Irish music, and the Irish dance to music in slip-jig time.

This past weekend, Liquid Church in New Jersey passed the offering plate like every other Sunday, but this time, instead of asking people to put money in the plate, they asked people to take money from the plate. Why?
The church put envelopes of $10, $20, and $50 into the popcorn bucket collection baskets they normally use and told people to take money, no strings attached…sort of. According to Pastor Tim Lucus:
“This wasn’t a handout,” he said. “That’s the tip of the iceberg. We challenge people; we want them to creatively invest this money.”
So, while the members of the church didn’t have to do anything in particular with the money (they could just go to Taco Bell for lunch if they wanted) the message delivered with the reverse offering was that when God provides money and resources in our lives, He trusts that we will use that to help others. So, many people’s reaction was not to go buy a new CD (do people still buy CDs?), it was to find a way to use the money to help someone else.
You can read more about the story here.
It’s an interesting idea. At first I thought, “Really? I know the economy is down right now, but how much good is $10 or even $50 going to do someone who can’t make a $1000 mortgage payment?” But as I read on and saw the idea of allowing those who really need it to use it for their needs, but also encouraging those who don’t absolutely need it to find a way to use it to help someone else in need, I started to like the idea.
What Makes This Work?
For the message of encouraging people to help someone else with the money, the money itself really isn’t a big deal. Most people would have been able to come up with $10 or $20 on their own. But this took the message to a whole new level. Now it wasn’t just a message. People had a physical $20 bill in their hand that they wouldn’t really think of as their own money. I think that would make it much more likely that the people would actually do something.
This is an interesting idea and a nice story and I could probably leave it at that…but this is Church Marketing Online. So, let’s think for a moment about the marketing aspect of this.
Can Anyone Say Links?!
Do a search for “liquid church reverse offering” and you’ll see that there have literally been hundreds, if not thousands of articles written about this already…and it’s only Tuesday. Many of these articles link back to the church. These are quality, natural links and a lot of them are from authority media sites.
Have you heard of Liquid Church? You have now and so have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of other people.
Thousands of Marketers
When all was said and done, the church gave out $30K to over 2,100 people and told them to go help someone with the money. That’s over 2,100 people may will go out into their community and help someone else (awesome), but also probably talk about the church as well. Granted, they probably don’t think of themselves this way, but it’s 2,100 motivated marketers going out to the very people the church hopes to attract.
Lots of Potential Follow-Up
When a church does an event or marketing campaign, often times when it’s done, it’s done. With the reverse offering, after the event was done, the question begs to be asked, “What did you do with the money?” There will be thousands of stories about how that money was used. That’s a lot of potential.
What do you think?
Is the reverse offering a good idea or some gimmicky ploy?
What are your thoughts on the idea and the reaction to it?

Rabbi Eric Yoffie accurately observes in a July 7 opinion article that many Israeli leaders do not fully understand Diaspora Jewry (“Confront Ignorance of Diaspora Movements”). However, he ignores the corresponding lack of appreciation for the nuances of Israeli society by an American Jewry that does not speak Hebrew and in the main has never visited Israel. From his limited perspective, the solution becomes “to speak out far more vigorously” and to raise questions to potential candidates for the Israeli presidency.
There is a critical need for an ongoing dialogue between Israeli and Diaspora Jewry. Both Yoffie and I recently attended the World Zionist Conference and the General Assembly of the Jewish Agency, where there was real progress in the process of renewing and reforming the WZO to better reflect the balance between Jewry in Israel and the Diaspora. Yet attention was effectively diverted to the old issue of what title President Moshe Katzav, who has served in his position for six years, uses when meeting with Reform rabbis.
Even in the Orthodox community, where there is far greater interaction and most of its youth from all over the world spend at least a year studying in Israel, Jews in Israel and the Diaspora often reflect differing mentalities. The gap in the broader community is growing steadily wider. Some of the differences are inherent, but recognizing a common Jewish destiny and showing sensitivity to the many-faceted Jewish people will accomplish more than confrontations.

Although Senegal is better than most African countries when it comes to human rights, there is still much to criticize (“Finding Kinship in Muslim Senegal,” June 16). Bands of Talibe, abused child beggars who are sent out by local Muslim religious leaders, roam the streets of Dakar and other cities. In spite of mandatory education to age 14, many children, especially girls, do not enroll in schools. Illiteracy rates are very high. Women’s rights are strongly lacking.
There are four Muslim brotherhoods in Senegal, three of which are home grown. Only one, the Lebu, is Sufi-based. This version of Sufism happens to be quite fundamentalist and fanatic. The main brotherhood, the Mouride, are becoming more and more influenced by Iranian and Saudi factions, are very strong politically — President Abdoulaye Wade is Mouride — and are not at all tolerant.
Although the president of Senegal claims to be a “pro-Western moderate,” last year he unilaterally postponed elections, has had one of his key opponents arrested, and quite possibly will cancel the presidential election scheduled for next February — claiming no one is running against him. This is a huge step backward for one of the most stable countries in post-colonial Africa. Many people are worried. Further, Wade has empowered his son, Karim, to oversee several very large public works projects.
There is no animosity against Jews in Senegal, but the Senegalese have had virtually no exposure to Jews.
Senegalese are too focused on local issues to be much concerned about international politics, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, they are very much opposed to the American occupation of Iraq. Many observers fear that outside influence by Iranian factions and others could result in more anti-American sentiments, further assaults on human rights and a movement away from Western connections.

The continued refusal of Israel’s Education Ministry to recognize bachelor’s degrees that include college credits for yeshiva study in Israel reflects the secularist bias of bureaucrats, rather than a legitimate academic assessment (“Y.U. Prez ‘Outraged’ Over Israel Snub,” June 30).
David Rabinowitz and Gary Silber, the valedictorians for Touro College’s class of 2006, both earned college credits with Touro for studying at well-known yeshivas in Israel, David for one year, Gary for two years. Each has been accepted to Yale, Harvard and Columbia Law Schools for this fall.
Clearly, the most prestigious law schools in the United States have no problem with the legitimacy of post-high school yeshiva studies as part of a college program.

Opinion writer David Eliezrie delivers an important message of cooperation between Orthodox Jews and members of the liberal Jewish establishment (“Bring Orthodox to Communal Table,” June 30). However, his message is greatly compromised by his referring to the views of scholars such as Rabbis Irving Greenberg and David Hartman as being “outside the mainstream Orthodox consensus” and “representing a small constituency.”
Such language, after all, can be employed by non-Orthodox Jews when referring to the Orthodox minority — and even within Orthodox Jewry when referring to Chabad Jews. As an open Orthodox Jew, a member of a large, vibrant Modern Orthodox community, and follower of some of the philosophies of the above-mentioned thinkers, I resent such dismissive language.
Eliezrie and I, no doubt, represent different models of Orthodox Jewry. We have, however, much more in common as fellow Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Jews of all stripes have much more to gain in the public forum by emphasizing our commonalities than by dwelling on our differences.
Rabbi David Eliezrie’s reference to gay rights as a “total contradiction to Jewish values” is not the way to appeal to liberal Jews — who, like myself, consider fighting for equality for gay people to be an example of the best Jewish values of justice and human rights. I agree with the rabbi that there should be dialogue between liberal and Orthodox Jews. Insulting the values of the “other side” is not the way to begin this dialogue.
When the Va’ad Halacha of the Rabbinical Council of America decided that the use of tobacco is prohibited by rabbinic law, it did not make a radical departure from established halachic principles that reflected, as a July 7 editorial argues, “boldness… in letting the findings of modern science trump and overturn centuries of settled rabbinic law” (“Choosing Life, and Change”). In fact, no departure whatsoever took place; the established halachic principles remain the same as they have throughout history.
Simply put, the halachic principle involved is that, absent countervailing halachically recognized benefits, one should not do anything that creates or substantially increases the risk to one’s life or health. It is that principle that was, is and remains applicable at all times.
Obviously, as more facts become known, the application of the principles might change. Thus, as the editorialist appropriately notes, since “four decades of mounting medical evidence” of the danger of smoking establishes a new “factual situation,” it stands to reason that the result of the application of the selfsame halachic principle may change.
To use a simple analogy, if someone were to have written a “medical responsum” permitting the use of Vioxx as a painkiller some years ago and, following more recent scientific evidence, written a second responsum prohibiting use of the product, would that indicate a major departure in the scientific principles being applied? Of course not.
And that’s exactly what happened here — nothing more, nothing less, and certainly not an earthshaking change of halachic principles.

How Much Exercise Does a Bedlington Terrier Dog Need?
Wanting to own a Bedlington Terrier and need to know how much exercise does a Bedlington Terrier Dog need?
According to pet experts, Bedlington Terrier Dogs score out of 5 in the scale of dog breeds that need daily exercise.
These active dogs need plenty of exercise and, like other terriers, will be bored and mischievous without it. They need to be taken for a long daily walk.
Top 5 Laziest Dog Breeds
They need a big backyard to run about in all day so that they can use up all that pent-up energy. However, there are various other breeds that are on the opposite end of the spectrum. If you do not have the time or energy to play with your dog for several hours a day, then there are particular breeds perfect for your life-style.
Here are some dog breeds that prefer napping over running.
1. Chow Chow - They often tend to be rather aloof, but their independent nature means it will not mind when you leave for work in the morning. They can get over 70 pounds in weight, but they make great cuddle partners.
2. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Bred predominantly as a lapdog and partner, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel excels at its original job. The breed is delicate, loving and would much rather be inside next to you than doing any sort of vigorous activity.
3. Basset Hound - They are really lazy dogs that are delicate and caring towards their loved ones. Although they require little bit of exercise, potential owners should be prepared for a lot of drool.
4. Shih Tzu - Shih Tzus often tend to not be especially keen on going outside. Many times, they will get plenty of exercise simply walking around the apartment all day.
5. Boston Terrier - Their weight usually maxes out at 25 pounds, so even if you are confined to a studio apartment, this pooch will not mind. Boston Terriers are rather less active. One walk a day is all you need to make sure these dogs get a good workout.
Bedlington Terrier Information
The Bedlington is among the softer terriers, not only in looks and feel but in temperament. It is companionable, demonstrative and loyal. It enjoys its creature comforts and is a fairly quiet house dog. Even though it will seldom initiate a fight, it will not allow itself to be intimidated by other dogs and can be a scrappy fighter when pushed. It will give chase to small animals outdoors, but it can usually coexist with them indoors.
What to do if you lose your Bedlington Terrier
If your Bedlington Terrier Dog or any other pet has gone missing and it does not have an identification tag with a phone number, you can:
1. List your missing pet details at Pet Reunite website here.
2. Register the lost pet on the Local Lost Pets Facebook Groups Here.
3. Contact the nearby vet clinics to see if anyone has brought in your missing pet.
4. Call the RSPCA or Visit the RSPCA Lost Pets website and complete a Lost Pet Report.

2. Register the missing pet on the Local Facebook Lost Pets Groups.
3. Contact the Local Authority to collect the lost animal.
4. Take the animal to the local Animal Pound assigned to your area.
5. Take the animal to the local Vet who can scan the animal’s microchip and phone the registered owner of the pet.
