“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4 (NIV)
As I pictured Jesus delivering the sermon of the Beatitudes on the Mount, I couldn’t help wonder if there were parents from Bethlehem in the crowd… parents who would have looked at Jesus and be reminded of the sons that Herod murdered when Christ was an infant… the ache in their hearts that continued years after the massacre of young boys ordered to eliminate any threat to the throne…
I feel certain that throughout His life on earth Jesus would have encountered parents who lost their sons during that massacre… He would have looked into their eyes, and seen the emptiness and pain that still crushed their hearts. As a mother, I cannot think of anything in this world more painful and utterly devastating than losing a child… It makes me wonder if the promise of Matthew 5:4 was offered first as an invitation for these parents to find healing.
Losing a loved one is one of the deepest hurts we endure in life. Yet, life is filled with many other painful, even if less intense, experiences that leave us hurting and processing loss… Recently, I made a difficult, life changing decision to resign from my job of more than 11 years. Though I made the decision after much prayer and deliberation, that did not prevent me from feeling a sense of panic and loss. For weeks after my resignation, I was unable to conceptualize a new future. Even in my sleep, my dreams seemed empty. I did not understand what I was going through or why I was feeling the way I did. Many of my feelings of accomplishment and purposefulness were wrapped up in that job and leaving it left a huge void in me. I am thankful I was able to talk about what I was experiencing and eventually understand that I was going through a grieving process. I was able to mourn the loss of what that job was in my life and I am thankful that I am receiving God’s comfort that is helping me to open up to the possibilities He has planned for me.
As hard as losing a job is, it can still pale in comparison to losing a child or loved one. But what I learnt through reflecting on Matthew 5:4 is that Jesus’ love for us reaches us wherever we are in the spectrum of pain. Acknowledging the loss we feel is a key part of the mourning process. And the truth is, some pain might always be in our hearts here on this earth. We may never understand it. But mourning brings us to a place of receiving His comfort… and eventually healing as we move forward into the future He calls us to, into a new morning...
Are you at a place of loss and grief? The feelings that you are processing are normal and in need of expression. Professional counseling, coaching, grief-share groups and other forms of individual/group help can start you on the road from mourning to morning. Reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.org, if you need some help.
Jesus Lifts will be conducting a 4-week guided tour of various Mindfulness practices. The four sessions will last 15 minutes each from 12.00 to 12.15 pm CST on August 8, 15, 22 and 29. Join us using this Zoom link.

A 13-year-old girl in North Carolina was arrested for allegedly attacking a firefighter with a knife and trying to slash other firefighters and police officers at the scene.
The Gastonia Police Department (GPD) said in a Facebook post that officers arrested and charged a 13-year-old female Tuesday evening after she used a knife to cut one Gastonia Fire Department (GFD) firefighter and then attempted to assault another firefighter.
The juvenile also assaulted responding police officers, the department said Wednesday. The firefighter who was cut was treated for minor injuries.

At approximately 9 p.m. Tuesday, GPD officers responded to the 3200 block of Pikes Peak Drive after GFD personnel “reported that one of their firefighters was just assaulted by a juvenile armed with a knife,” the police press release said. “When officers arrived, they saw firefighters restraining the combative juvenile.”
The juvenile then allegedly assaulted the officers who were trying to get her into custody. GPD officers contacted personnel from the Department of Juvenile Justice.

The juvenile, whose name has not been released, was charged with aggravated assault and assault charges and ordered to be held in a secure juvenile detention facility in Concord.
It is not clear why Gastonia firefighters had initially responded to that address in the Crowder’s View community, about 5 miles from downtown, before the alleged assault unfolded.

It’s a constant back and forth for Microsoft. The billion-dollar purchase of Activision-Blizzard is dragging on like chewing gum, as numerous authorities are opposed. However, the company recently enjoyed success as the EU Commission approved the deal. Now the next country with positive news follows, China also approves the purchase.
Microsoft would happily fork out a whopping $69 billion to take over Activision-Blizzard and King. However, the matter is dragging on massively, as some authorities are not in the mood to see the deal through. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recently made headlines by saying a resounding no. The reason given was the impact on the market, especially in relation to cloud gaming.
>> 20 years of Xbox: A look back full of ups and downs <<
But there are always glimmers of hope. So they recently celebrated that the EU Commission approved the takeover. Now comes the next country Microsoft seems to favor: China.
The Redmond-based group is correspondingly pleased in a statement to Eurogamer: “China’s unconditional approval of our acquisition of Activision Blizzard follows approval decisions by countries such as Japan and the European Union, with which we have now reached a total of 37 countries with more than two billion people The acquisition, coupled with our recent commitments to the European Commission, will give consumers around the world the ability to play more games on more devices.”
In America, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently still filing a lawsuit against the purchase. A final decision is expected over the summer. In the past, Microsoft has already made some concessions to satisfy the various authorities. Among other things, there were deals with Nintendo and Nvidia, and the company also agreed to offer any Activision Blizzard titles via external cloud gaming services.

EDI programming focuses on the development of critical life skills to help individuals to achieve sustainable recovery and personal growth. Our life skills groups include daily meditation, Recovery 101, and other psycho education groups focusing on topics such as interpersonal skills, job readiness, resume writing, health and wellness, anger management, boundaries, relapse prevention, spirituality, and mindfulness.
Monday – Sunday
Morning meditation is a quick meditation that will relax you and give you a boost of positive energy. It’s a fantastic way to start your day with a smile on your face. There is a short read on a recovery topic and positive affirmations from staff and others in recovery to bring about a calm and happy mindset. During meditation a group discussion takes place in reference to the recovery-based reading of the day. People are encouraged to share their ideas on the reading, maintaining respect and confidentiality throughout the process. Sometimes all it takes to have a good day is a small shift in your morning thinking. If you start the day in a good mood with a positive outlook, you’re more likely to enjoy the whole day ahead.
Recovery 101 covers several different topics: the first three steps, boundaries, self-esteem, poetry, and music therapy. This group covers goals and steps toward achieving those goals.
Monday – Friday
Recovery 101’s daily programming is based on finding member’s distress tolerance, teaching coping skill integration, and how to rationally debate ideas. Recovery is foundational in promoting change in residents. The group challenges individual residents to think differently which allows them to live differently. Recovery 101 is a topic-driven group on areas such as budgeting, life skills, confidentiality, and more. This group routinely includes readings, worksheets, and group work. Recovery 101 outlines many ways (clinical, non-clinical, and self-management) in which individuals with substance use disorders can engage in a process of recovery-related change.
Recovery 102 is a more advanced form of group therapy that is designed to address the full spectrum of substance use problems with the understanding the recovery pathway is highly personalized. It is meaningful daily activity that address topics such as, self-care practices, family involvement, housing and transportation needs, employment, and clinical treatment for mental disorders among many other topics. Through education and recovery-oriented activities, residents learn how to prevent inappropriate substance use. Residents are empowered and provided the resources to make informed decisions, maintain recovery, build on their identified strengths, and regain control over their lives. With the assistance of this group, individuals define their own life goals and design their unique pathway of recovery.
Relapse Prevention Workshop is a 6-week program. During the course of these 6 consecutive weeks the program goes over the differences between being drug and alcohol free verses being in recovery. Identifying Internal, external and sensory triggers as well as warning signs. The correlation with relationships and relapse. How to create Healthy Habits. Review your relationships, triggers, habits and identify high risk situations. Finally develop your own relapse prevention plan.
Employment and Job Readiness
Though EDI does not conduct Job readiness programs we prepare our residents to participate with the R3 and BCPS employment programs which assist individuals with becoming economically self-sufficient. Usually, residents with low or no income, who have been incarcerated or have prior involvement with the legal system benefit well from the programs. These groups work to empower individuals to take care of themselves and their families by developing the skills needed to find and keep a job. Individuals participate in an employment group and are given vocational assistance, on the job training, and job reediness skill training (resume writing, interview skills, etc.) for approximately 8 weeks.
Anger management group can assist residents in learning new and more productive responses to anger that allow them to regain control of their life and relationships. Residents learn how to recognize early signs of anger and how to better respond when anger strikes, allowing the ability to deal with negative situations in a more positive way. Managing anger well is a learned behavior, requiring practice and persistence. During the group, personal stories of failures and successes are shared along with better ways of managing difficult situations. The following are a few topics and coping skills taught during the Anger management group.
- Be Self-Aware
- Slow Down
- Change Your Way of Thinking
- Dig Deeper
- Make it Humorous
- Take a Moment
- Make Changes
- Acknowledge the Gains of Anger
Mindfulness Stress Based Reduction group is designed to give clients another tool to aide them in their recovery journey. Mindfulness has been shown to be highly effective in everything from pain management to stress relief. Similar to how addiction rewires the nephropathy in the brain, so does a daily practice of mindfulness meditation.
Mindfulness is based on Buddhist principles of the eightfold path of right living. You do not need to be Buddhist to do this group. And you can have any higher power of your choice, or even no higher power to engage in this group.
This group is 6 weeks and focuses on identifying your spiritual self versus your addict self.
It starts with activities that highlight for the individuals our automatic pilot in our brain and how powerful our mind is…just by eating some candy. There are practical stop and think activities as well as planned mindful moments.
It offers a daily homework workbook for the clients to practice between sessions.
I often tell individuals to keep an open mind and they may just end up with another extremely powerful tool in their recovery toolbox.
Comments from previous clients that attended these groups.
“I really liked the drawing activity. It was amazing to see how similar we all were”
“One day about six months after the group, I found myself doing the stop and think activity, I didn’t even realize it until now…wow”
“I liked it. I was surprised”
The objective of this group is to connect problem solving skills with cognitive self-change. It allows group members to have a concrete process for self-awareness. This process is aimed at uncovering risky thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. It is taught by using the simple principle that thinking controls behavior and to change behavior we must change our thinking. In turn this can help create more healthy boundaries between us, our family and peers.
Wellness Classes and Groups
Nutrition Basics Class covers general nutritional and kitchen knowledge. Important food safety such as proper storage, preparation and temperatures. Residents are shown how to plan a meal, a weekly menu, and a shopping list. Going over budgeting, shopping, and making better nutritional choices.
Financial Wellness Class provides education about the basics of banking, credit. and budgeting. Residents build a budget tailored to their needs. They learn about saving and goals. The class teaches about good and bad debt, positives and negatives of credit cards, and safe practices to prevent identity theft. Residents get assistance locating reports that effect their financial health such as credit reports and banking reports that may prevent them from opening bank accounts, credit cards, utility services or obtaining housing.
Wellness groups include yoga, and paddle boarding. These activities help manage and relieve anxiety, stress, and depression. Getting out as a group to enjoy yoga or paddle boarding helps build a community and improves ones overall well being.

Tillamook County Master Gardener Association (TCMGA) is a non-profit, educational organization that helps to promote the OSU Extension Service Master Gardener Program and provides opportunities for additional educational training throughout the year.
TCMGA is a countywide organization based in Tillamook County. Membership is open to anyone completing the Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardener classes and residing in or about Tillamook County. The membership year begins January 1st and runs through December 31st.
A reminder that TCMGA is a participant in the Amazon Smile program. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to our organization.
When considering purchases through Amazon, log in via the following link. It is the same as the regular Amazon, but purchases made via this link are attributed to us.
Tillamook County Master Gardener, Daria, LaMasney, has pledged to help the local transitional home, House of Grace, with a new gardening program. Fellow Master Gardeners will be assisting Daria with this project. Right now the community’s help is needed to cultivate this garden!
House of Grace residents are women in transition recovering and moving forward from challenging pasts. Many of these women also have childre
n with them. Peggy Walstad is the Director of this program and reached out to Daria to restore old raised beds that have been misplaced and long ago neglected. Through teaching residents about gardening they will learn to grow their own food and prepare local healthy nutritious meals for them and their families.
Currently, funding the garden for spring planting is on the agenda. The Nehalem Bay Garden Club granted House of Grace $300 in November 2015. An additional $400 has been applied for through SeedMoney, a program of the Maine-based nonprofit group, Kitchen Gardeners International. The mission is to help more people, especially disadvantaged populations, to be able to grow and access more of their own healthy food. One of the most effective ways for them to do this is by helping like-minded community groups working at the local level to secure the resources they need to start and sustain food garden projects.
This is a competition grant and we need to be one of the FIRST GRANTS to successfully raise the $400 needed. If you can contribute to the House of Grace project, please go to SeedMoney.org in the next week or two to support Daria and her team and ensure they can bring this garden to our community and help give these women skills they will need to take them into their futures. Contributions can be received from individuals as well as groups.
Questions? Please call Daria at 503-815-2703.
Want to grow your green thumb? Want to become a better gardener, applying up to date scientific methods, reducing pesticides and weeds?
Learn from the experts and become a Master Gardener this winter. Weekly classes taught by Oregon State University faculty and local experts start January 7. Every Thursday, you will hear from a variety of experts on all aspects of gardening on the Oregon coast.
The 12-week course, offered by the Tillamook office of Oregon State University Extension Service, will cover soils, propagation, pruning, landscape and garden planning and design, suitable plants for coastal gardening and landscaping, pest and disease control, weed management, orchards, raised beds, and other topics of interest to local gardeners.
Students will experience a variety of hands on and interactive training, including greenhouse techniques at our learning garden, assisted by local Master Gardeners and OSU staff.
The program also requires 60 hours of community service work in the first year of training, including advising the public during Master Gardener office hours.
"By taking the Master Gardener classes, and in helping others, our Master Gardener apprentices develop their own expertise and abilities to better serve the community. This is a great way to help yourself and others enjoy their gardens using current scientific knowledge,” Joy Jones, local OSU Extension agent, says.
“The classes are very informative and professional,” one of last year’s students says. “The time flies, I had a lot of fun, and I am a much more informed and capable gardener now. My gardening skills really improved. This is the best bargain a gardener could find.”
Tuition is $120 and includes the comprehensive Sustainable Gardening book, as well as access to a wide range of printed and on-line resources, and experienced professional instructors. For those who do not have the time or desire to volunteer, they too may take the training and receive a certificate of horticulture. The fee for this option is $240.
Enroll now! Call the Extension Service office at 503-842-3433 or visit them at 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook, for more information. Classes will be held at the main Tillamook Bay Community College campus. For additional information and class schedule, see http://extension.oregonstate.edu/tillamook/what-master-gardener-program

Landowners vocal over drain reassessment
“Opinions don’t matter, they’re going to do what they want to do,” said one landowner as he left a public hearing on the Thordenskjold Drain reassessment.
The Barnes County Water Resource District Board held a public hearing Monday morning about the reassessing landowners who benefit from the Thordenskjold Drain that runs in the southeast portion of the county. The former assessment district included about 7,000 acres, but further evaluation found that many more in the basin, mostly north of the current assessment district, benefit from the drain. The new assessment district will include approximately 21,000 acres.
Several dozen landowners attended the hearing, held during the regular water board meeting at the Barnes County Highway Department. Some attendees had to hold the door to the department’s conference room open and peer in from the hall due to limited seating.
While some attendees had legitimate questions about the assessment, others took the opportunity to voice their displeasure with water board operations.
“I don’t think we’re accomplishing anything with this dialogue here,” said Sean Fredericks, the water board’s legal council.
“The board is supposed to assess people whose water is in the watershed. What the board can’t do is go out and put in culverts under every road, under every approach, under every township road or county road; they don’t have the jurisdiction to do that. By law what they’re supposed to do is include everybody who’s in the watershed in the assessment district,” Fredericks said.
Landowners will be assessed up to $2 an acre for maintenance of the drain, which has several sites in need of repair.
“There is significant damage and work that needs to be done, especially in the lower reaches of the drain,” said Mike Opat of Moore Engineering, the firm that does the majority of engineering work for the water board.
“Basically we tried to include areas within about a 20-acre area, plus or minus... We make some determinations on where it gets cut off and where it doesn’t... Generally the way it’s always done is if you’re in close proximity to the drain, you’re going to get a 100 percent assessment.”
One land owner in Norma Township brought up the fact that an entire section of his property was assessed at 100 percent, but half of that land drains west, away from the Thordenskjold Drain.
“You can come out to my hill and look at it. There’s no way that goes east, boys,” he said, adding he would gladly pay an assessment on the east half of his land, but felt he and his neighbors should not pay assessments on land that doesn’t run off into the drain.
With the hearing stretching on beyond it’s allotted time, the water board’s Vice President Pat Hurley, who was filling in for an absent President Jeff McMillan, closed the hearing saying, “We’re going to go with the statements that were made, and we’ll make a decision on the reassessment.”
Landowner Mylo Buchholz lost about 54 acres to the drain and was wondering after the meeting what the residents between the south end of the assessment district and the Maple River were assessed for drainage. The water board said the water eventually runs out and evaporates, but Buchholz said it reaches all the way to the river.
“What I collected from the meeting is we are going to be paying Thordenskjold for getting everything fixed for them,” Buchholz said.

It’s cherry season! I’m not sure about you, but cherries are my favourite summer fruit. Okay, raspberries too. And blackberries. But cherries definitely top the list!
While I usually eat cherries straight from the bag, *sometimes* people have a surplus and need ways to use them up – like my coworker. She has a cherry tree in her backyard and a few weeks ago it produced pounds and pounds of cherries. Yes, pounds and pounds. While this sounds like a dream to me, the tree produced so many at once that she didn’t know what to do with them!
Here’s where this jam comes in. She was looking for a low-sugar jam recipe without pectin, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. While there still is some sugar in this recipe, that’s just inevitable considering the fact that it’s, well, jam (many cherry jam recipes call for anywhere from 2-4 cups of sugar). If your cherries are already quite sweet, feel free to adjust the sugar quantity.
This recipe is also pectin-free since some people don’t like using pectin in their jam recipes. Although pectin is a natural fibre found in most plants, it requires large amounts of sugar for it to work properly; hence why so many jam recipes call for large sugar quantities. Also, sometimes people just don’t have it in their pantry. This recipe accommodates for those types of people. Because this recipe doesn’t contain pectin, it might not be as thick as the jam you’re used to, but it’s still delicious nonetheless.
Easy Low-Sugar Cherry Jam Recipe
Makes 1.5 cups.
- 2 x 1 lb bags of cherries, pitted and chopped
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup – 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet your cherries are)
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- In a large saucepan, place chopped and pitted cherries. Add ½ cup water, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook over medium-high until mixture is thick and large bubbles form, which is about 6-8 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add to the cherry mix. Boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Let cool. Once cooled, top onto fresh sourdough with warm butter or mix into overnight oats. Store in jars. Enjoy!
Do you have another low-sugar cherry jam recipe? Or other favourite cherry recipes? If so, share them! We’re always looking for more ideas.

Phillips is pleased to announce highlights from its first New York auction of the season. Featuring over 220 lots, the New Now sale on 24 September will offer works of art by 20th century masters and contemporary market leaders, alongside auction newcomers. Leading the auction are examples by Keith Haring, Sam Francis, Louise Nevelson, Yinka Shonibare, and Yayoi Kusama. Phillips is proud to feature property from several prominent private collections, including works by Frank Stella and Alexander Calder from The Miles And Shirley Fiterman Collection, following the collection’s success at Phillips this past Spring.
“The September New Now sale marks an exciting moment for Phillips, as we kick off the fall season,” said Sam Mansour, Head of New Now, New York. “On 24 September, we will offer works from both blue-chip artists whose markets are time-tested and those whose works are just being sold on the secondary market for the first time, offering collectors a wonderful opportunity to build their collections with interesting and exciting material. With this sale debuting our new and refined catalogue format, we aim to offer our collectors the accessibility and ease that they have come to expect from a 21st century auction house. This new format more closely elides with the more engaging manner in which our clients consume content in all aspects of their lives.”
Leading the auction is Keith Haring’s Untitled (Three Dancing Figures), Version A. Executed in 1989, just one year before his death, this aluminum sculpture embodies the energy of an era influenced by activism for gay-rights and by the invigorated artistic community that was Haring’s orbit. The work shows a group of uniquely hued, faceless figures circled in energetic movement. Garnering inspiration from break-dance culture and electronic music, Haring appreciated the coordination required by dancers who weave between and around one another with swift, animated movements. Haring intended for these large-scale works to be accessible and readily discernible depictions of bubbling vivacity to all who encounter them. Untitled (Three Dancing Figures), Version A hails from an important private collection in New York; seven additional works from the same collection will also be featured in the New Now auction, including George Rickey’s Space Churn with Cams VI (illustrated page 4), Tom Wesselman’s Belt Still Life, and Friedel Dzubas’ Far Land.
Sixteen works from The Miles and Shirley Fiterman Collection, which Phillips first began offering in the Spring, will also be included in the sale. The Fitermans began collecting in the 1960s, assembling one of the most comprehensive collections of works by American post-war artists ever to come to market. Sam Francis’s EVIII (illustrated page 1) is being offered for the first time at auction, having remained in the Fitermans’ collection for forty-five years. Executed in 1971, the work represents the artist’s love of color, light and travel. Francis renders spontaneous clouds of exquisite color to the corners of the work. In contrast, the vast negative space that spans across the large-scale canvas, central to Francis’ style after the mid-1960s, embraces the sharp energy of New York Minimalism. The bursts of pigment framing the work evoke an edgeless nature that pulls the dynamic abstraction off the canvas. Also hailing from The Miles and Shirley Fiterman Collection are Frank Stella’s Narwola II, 1971 (illustrated right), Alexander Calder’s The Pub, 1972, and Jim Dine’s A Boot Bench #1, 1965.
Ed Ruscha’s High-Speed Gardening (illustrated left) is a wonderful example from the artist’s renowned word paintings and one of the highlights of the auction. Moving from Oklahoma to Los Angeles in the late 1950s, Ruscha worked temporarily as a commercial sign-painter. Inspired by his previous occupation, the artist found particular interest in the use of words, the infiniteness to them and their unique ability to construct and confound meaning. Ruscha’s use of language is poetically paradoxical and playfully random. The salience of the de-contextualized phrase “High-Speed Gardening” is a visual enigma for the viewers – surprisingly absent of an underlying message. His words are a humorous dichotomy that encapsulates a typical Los Angeles lifestyle; simultaneously bustling and tranquil.
Phillips has seen tremendous demand for works by Nicolas Party and has retained his auction record for the past year as his market continues to grow. This season, Phillips is pleased to include three works in the New Now auction – Portrait, 2014 (illustrated left), Landscape, 2013, and Blakam's Stone (Orange), 2016. Portrait, while inspired by the idealism of Classical Greek sculpture, depicts an androgynous subject donning blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. Highlighted by these superbly unexpected accents, the figure’s bulbous features evoke little more than a hollow shell, intentionally lacking individualistic characteristics and contextual social status, making it a superb example from the artist’s oeuvre.
Yinka Shonibare’s Dressing Down (illustrated below) exemplifies the artist’s commentary on history and politics through his unique use of textiles. Born in England and raised in Nigeria, the present work makes use of a printed cotton that has a complex cultural story. Though commonly associated with West Africa, it is actually a Dutch fabric inspired by Indonesian batiks and sold through the African market to benefit the Europeans that colonized Africa.
On 19 September, Phillips will host a cocktail reception in celebration of the New Now view in collaboration with Bottega Veneta.

Nigerian actress Kemi Afolabi has revealed that she has just four more years to live.
According to Afolabi, she has an incurable ailment and has already lived one year out of the five years given to her by the doctors.
Afolabi quoted her doctor as saying, “Make sure you are with your loved ones. At least, you still have up to five years.”
“I have lupus. It’s not curable. You just have to take medications for the rest of your life,” she said.
She noted that she paid N1.2m on a treatment yet it did not work as she continually cried in pain.
It would be recalled that in Jan, the actress revealed how she had written her will after the diagnosis.
“I wrote my will and booked a space with ebony vault this year 2021 but God showed me how faithful he is despite my unfaithfulness,” she wrote.
“Who am I that God is so mindful of my existence? Me ordinary sand? That was toss around from my private hospital to LASUTH, to Army barracks hospital WAEC and finally LUTH where I spent over three months!”
The 43-year-old actor is married with a child.

SEATTLE — A Kent man who was exonerated of Bothell murder after serving more than 20 years in prison has sued King County, the city of Bothell and several sheriff’s deputies and police officers.
Ian Simmers, 42, filed the lawsuit claiming authorities violated state and federal law during the 1995 investigation that Simmers said led to his wrongful conviction, The Seattle Times reported. Simmers is seeking unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs.
A King County Superior Court jury convicted Simmers in March 1996 of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Rodney Gochanour, 35.
Simmers was sentenced to 46 years and eight months in prison and served about 23 years of that sentence before he was exonerated and released two years ago after new DNA evidence emerged.
The lawsuit claims Bothell police officers and county sheriff’s deputies kept Simmers, who was 16 at the time, in custody for 10 hours overnight and refused to let him speak to his mother or an attorney.
Investigators also used “manipulative and coercive interrogation tactics” and “fed Ian details about the crime in an effort to force and fabricate a confession,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit accuses authorities of pinning the crime on Simmers even though there was “no forensic evidence” or witnesses tying him to the crime.
“For more than 50 years, we’ve established that there are special rules to abide by when you’re questioning children because they’re more vulnerable,” said Simmers’ lawyer, David Owens. “You cannot treat teenagers like they’re adults.”
The Bothell Police Department referred questions about the lawsuit to the Bothell City attorney’s office and the King County sheriff’s office referred questions to the county’s prosecuting attorney’s office. Both declined to comment.
Prosecutors claimed during the trial that Simmers was with a friend on a trail when he encountered Gochanour and attacked him with a knife. The Times reported that prosecutors claimed Simmons “did it for the thrill.”
The main evidence was a taped confession Simmers made to police, though Owens noted several discrepancies — including the size of the knife and the day that the stabbing happened. Simmer’s mother, stepfather and stepbrother also testified he was home when the stabbing occurred.
Owens in 2017 requested that the attorney’s office reinvestigate the case. The next year, Simmers filed a motion to vacate his conviction based on the results of new DNA on the knife and on Gochanour’s fingernail clippings that did not match Simmers, the lawsuit said.
State prosecutors in 2019 moved to vacate the conviction, but said the state “has not and does not agree that the defendant is innocent of the crime or that he was wrongly convicted.”
Simmers is now living with family in Kent and works nearby.
“One of the biggest (challenges) is a disconnect from community. The community that I grew up in was much tighter. … But work has made that easier,” Simmers said.

Such is the circle of reality TV life that claimed another victim today, as TLC confirms it has formally dropped Kat Von D's LA Ink from its lineup.
"TLC has decided that the current season of LA Ink will be its last," the cable net said in a statement. "The network is proud of what the series has accomplished in its four seasons, following Kat Von D's journey as an artist from Miami to Los Angeles."
She had been tweeting about her frustrations with the show just yesterday—and it doesn't look as if she's any less frustrated today.
"I love how me deciding to not continue doing LA Ink, turns into being 'cancelled,'" she wrote this afternoon. Thanks @TLC. Regardless of everything I remain grateful.
"Please standby for a more in depth, more honest statement regarding LA Ink."
Just yesterday, she responded to a follower who said she was more annoying on the show, correcting them with, "Perhaps a better way to say it is 'the show is more annoying'…Trust me, wish it could be about art only."
It's probably just as well.
What with the current fourth season of the reality show opening up to Kat getting a retrospectively ill-advised tattoo of her ex-fiancé Jesse James (to say nothing of the media storm stirred up by her walking off the set of an interview), there was really no way she could've topped it next year.
The series finale will air Sept. 15.

There is no logical reason why Julie Anne Genter's pregnancy should affect her chances of becoming Green Party co-leader.
If some in the party think having a baby would be too distracting for a co-leader, then the same could apply to her rival, Marama Davidson.
Davidson has six children, the youngest of them aged nine, 10 and 12.
Genter's partner, Peter Nunns, is going to be a stay-at-home parent after Genter takes three months off.
Childcare arrangements were certainly never an issue when former co-leader Russel Norman and his partner had two babies when he was in office.
As a progressive party, the Greens have long supported the rights of all women, including mothers, to reach their full potential.
It would run counter to Green Party philosophy to suggest that a new baby would be a disadvantage.
But it could quietly reinforce the primary argument being run by Davidson supporters - that Genter is already committed as a minister with three portfolios (Women, Associate Transport and Associate Health) and that an MP more independent of Government is required to tend to party membership.
As Minister for Women and an MP in a progressive party, is it hardly surprising that Genter decided she could be a minister, co-leader and a new mother all at the same time.
One hopes she didn't have some ambivalence but felt obliged to plough on with those ambitions as a progressive role model.
If that is the case, she still has time to reconsider.
Green delegates don't begin voting in the contest for another five weeks.
Having had two miscarriages, no one will be more acutely aware than Genter of the need to protect herself and her baby.
Genter deserves the right to aim as high as she can, but also deserves the right to alter her expectations if she wants to.

I am DVCHAN also known as Dustin Vang from my youtube channel. I have always been a tech fanatic. From tearing apart toys to building my first Custom computers in middle school with spare server parts I found in the trash for Counter-Strike. I have always been profoundly interested in the way things work and how to make them my own. Recently I was introduced to the custom keyboard world without knowing how far and deep I would engulf myself with its perfection of imperfection. For months I read post after post on Reddit and watched youtube videos over and over until I felt I was ready. I built my keyboard and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since. \
While building computers in the early years was something that was a rare occurrence it soon became very mainstream. I really appreciated the growth and newfound respect for the PC master race but I also felt the personal touch I used to have on my PC builds wasn’t as rewarding as it once was. So far I have built custom USB cables, tofu60, kbd8x MkII, 2x Kbd67mkii, rebuilt my CM storm quickfire and converted to QMK, built discipline65 and many other budget keyboards. I still haven’t filled my thirst for more :). I just enjoy the ability to build and make things complete and perfect similar to the way you can build a computer. My favorite thing about keyboards is there is no perfect way to build them. Perfection is always based on preference. To the builder, it is up to them what makes it perfect or satisfactory. I have been sharing my builds on youtube and even with all the toxicity that comes with youtube, there has been nothing but friendly community members showing love and appreciation. It’s a great feeling to be apart of something so good.
Thanks for this awesome hobby, Covid-19 knocked a lot of us back but this hobby definitely helps to get through things a lot better.

The Germans have combined the two, literally round-by-round.
The rules are simple. There is one round of chess – and then one round of boxing. Punching power alternating with brainpower.
If you are wondering how they can move the pieces with their boxing gloves on, well, they take them off before the rounds of chess.
All in all, you have 11 rounds in which to either checkmate your opponent – or knock them out.
The first ever championship is being hosted in Berlin. Chess boxing has become so popular that it is now being taught in German schools. And we though the Swiss were weird.
Thats pretty interesting. I’ll try to get a video on youtube or something.
A comment on the weirdness of this type of event. I believe that there is no weirder, stranger, excentric and freakier group of people than the good-old Germans. I don’t mean to offend 🙂
Found a link for this stuff
Even Lennox Lewis is kinda into it.
Thanks for the link, it is the shiznit.
But I think that the Dutch are certainly up there as far as “weird” Europeans go. Oh, and let’s not forget the Greeks…


Meryl Streep Hired Priest To Exorcise Steven Spielberg’s Haunted House
Posted: 2:45 pm Tuesday, December 5th, 2017
Are your friends really your friends if they don’t hire a priest to rid your possibly haunted home of demons? Meryl Streep recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to chat about her upcoming movie, The Post, directed by Steven Spielberg, & told them some creep stuff! About 2 decades ago, while working with Steven on his 2000 film, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which only took 1 day to complete, Meryl helped her boy Steve out by hooking him up with a priest to exorcise his home. “Most of the time we talked about how his property was haunted and did I know anybody who did exorcisms?” “And of course, I did. I got him a priest.” I mean, who doesn’t have a priest’s number on standby in case you hear bumps in the night?

The 11 remaining members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)* recently announced plans to move forward with a modified trade agreement. U.S. Meat Exporter Federation (USMEF) Economist Erin Borror explains that if the agreement, now known as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), is implemented without the United States as a participant, it will create significant tariff rate advantages for competitors of U.S. beef and pork.
The U.S. has free trade agreements in place with several CPTPP countries, but the major exceptions are Japan and Vietnam. Borror notes that Australia, Mexico and Chile already have economic partnership agreements with Japan, but the CPTPP would provide even more tariff relief for beef imported from these countries, and would lower tariff rates on Japan’s imports of Canadian and New Zealand beef. Japan’s beef import safeguards, which are administered on a quarterly basis for countries that do not have trade agreements with Japan, would shift to annual safeguards for beef imports from CPTPP countries, making them less likely to be triggered. Under Japan’s frozen beef safeguard, the tariff rate on U.S., Canadian and New Zealand beef was recently increased from 38.5 percent to 50 percent, where it will remain through March 31, 2018.
CPTPP would provide tariff relief for Canadian pork, the United States’ largest competitor, in Japan’s imported chilled pork market. Pork from Mexico and Chile would also make market access beyond their current economic partnership agreements with Japan. Perhaps the largest breakthrough in the CPTPP’s pork provisions is Japan’s gradual elimination of tariffs on processed pork products something Japan has never previously included in a trade agreement. Borror adds that while the European Union is not included in CPTPP, the EU and Japan are expected to finalize an economic partnership agreement in the next few months, which includes similar terms. This would leave the United States as the only major pork supplier to Japan without a trade agreement in place.
*The full list of CPTPP participants is: Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

Understanding the Risks and Treatment of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS)
Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a rare but potentially serious condition that can occur in pregnancies with identical twins who share a placenta. It involves an imbalance in blood flow between the twins through the placental blood vessels, resulting in one twin receiving an excessive amount of blood (the recipient) and the other twin receiving too little blood (the donor). Understanding the risks, signs, and available treatment options for TTTS is crucial for early detection and appropriate management. In this guide, we will delve into the causes, potential complications, and treatment options for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
- Causes and Risk Factors:
- Monochorionic-Monoamniotic Twins: TTTS most commonly occurs in pregnancies with monochorionic-monoamniotic (MCMA) twins, meaning they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.
- Placental Vascular Connections: The presence of abnormal blood vessels, such as unbalanced blood vessel sharing or a shared placental artery, can contribute to the development of TTTS.
- Maternal and Fetal Factors: Certain maternal and fetal factors, such as advanced maternal age, previous pregnancies with TTTS, and a family history of TTTS, may increase the risk of developing the condition.
- Signs and Symptoms:
- Discrepancy in Growth: One twin may appear significantly larger (the recipient) while the other twin is noticeably smaller (the donor).
- Amniotic Fluid Imbalance: The recipient twin may have excessive amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios), while the donor twin may have too little amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios).
- Doppler Ultrasound Findings: Doppler ultrasound can reveal abnormal blood flow patterns between the twins, such as increased blood flow to the recipient twin and decreased blood flow to the donor twin.
- Potential Complications of TTTS:
- Preterm Birth: TTTS increases the risk of preterm labor and delivery, which can lead to potential health complications for the babies.
- Growth Restriction: The donor twin may experience growth restriction due to inadequate blood supply, while the recipient twin may experience excessive growth.
- Developmental Delays: Depending on the severity of TTTS, both twins may be at risk of developmental delays or neurological complications.
- Treatment Options:
- Laser Photocoagulation: This procedure involves using a laser to seal off the abnormal blood vessels on the placenta, restoring a more balanced blood flow between the twins.
- Amnioreduction: In cases of severe polyhydramnios, excess amniotic fluid may be drained to relieve pressure on the donor twin.
- Selective Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation: This advanced technique involves using a fetoscope to perform laser photocoagulation while minimizing risks to the mother and twins.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Care:
- Regular Ultrasound Monitoring: Close monitoring of the twins' growth, amniotic fluid levels, and blood flow through Doppler ultrasound is essential to assess the progression of TTTS.
- Multidisciplinary Care Team: Managing TTTS often involves a team of specialists, including maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, and genetic counselors.
Conclusion: Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a complex condition that requires early detection and appropriate management to optimize the outcomes for both twins. Regular prenatal monitoring and timely intervention, such as laser photocoagulation or amnioreduction, can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy. If you suspect TTTS or have concerns about your twin pregnancy, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider experienced in managing high-risk pregnancies. Remember, early intervention can make a significant difference in the outcome, and with proper care, many TTTS pregnancies have successful outcomes for both twins.

PHOENIX — High school football season is right around the corner.
And in recent years, that has brought about a heightened debate surrounding players safety, especially when it comes to head injuries.
To help keep players safe, former Arizona State University and NFL player Mike Pollak is teaching coaches and players how to reduce head contact.
“Really trying to get the kids to understand that contact on the football field shouldn’t involve the pushing motion,” said Mike Pollak, who is now the director of training at Tip of the Spear, an outfit based out of Phoenix focused on teaching safer football moves.
“When I go to push something or press something, I’m bringing my head closer to contact,” Pollak said. “What really we should be doing is using our hips better to elevate our opponents. Because when I use my hips correctly, my head is eliminated from contact.”
In short, hands go inside, the player explodes and uncoils his hips, driving the opponent and his own head back.
James Knos, a senior football player at Basha High School, said he feels safer “cause my head is not getting knocked around every play."
Pollak said he used to be one of those parents who didn’t want his kid to play football, because of the injuries he received.
“But having learned this new way to approach contact has really revitalized and reenergized my belief that kids can play football and not sustain those injuries that a lot of parents are scared of,” Pollak said.
Pollak teaches the same techniques to players at the collegiate and NFL level. And since 2012, that includes over 80,000 players and coaches, according to Pollak.

location and also i could not believe that you had a separate toilet to bathroom without washing facilities - how VERY unhygenic -really poor for a mercure hotel -unbelievable
-freiendly staff(espcially the male conceptionist Gregory). -location -newness -good to travel by train to leave or explore other cities. room size-we booked two rooms with sofa for 3, but actually one is good for 3 adults.
Helpful staff Excellent breakfast options Room size and comfort Free wi-fi availability Value for money
Location of hotel
the hotel is located near the historic center and cure de midi. it is comfortable and clean
Hotel very clean, new, well located and connected with the main public transport net.
Breakfast was good but quite expensive.
Very good location. Near to city centre - 15min walk and train station - 5min walk. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean with good facilities.
Location was great, close to all public transport. The room / bathroom size was excellent. King size bed was comfortable. Super free wifi.
Both Towels were dirty, only realised as I got out of the shower. Kettle was filthy with calcium build up and large floating particals in the boiled water ( I used bottled water ) I complained to reception only to be told that's just how Belgiums water is and nothing could be done. I was then forced to clean the kettle myself, I feel this should be a cleaners job on a weekly basis if your water is so dirty. No bar was available and no restaurant, although drinks could be served in the reception area which had an unpleasant toilet smell.
The rooms are clean, large and modern and, most of all, the staff is absolutely excellent. We have stayed in 5 star hotels, but the service we received here is the best we have ever experienced. We had problems with our WiFi and AC that had otherwise ruined our stay, but the receptionist on duty, Mr. Gauthier, was incredibly accommodating and did his utmost to solve the issues we had even though he was ultimately unsuccessful. He even volunteered to walk through several rooms with me in an effort to find one that was working properly. Once we returned from our trip, we contacted the General Manager to to express the concerns and difficulties we had experienced and he immediately offered to provide us with a partial refund. We were so impressed with the way that we were treated here that the problems we experienced are very small in comparison. It is the best customer service we have ever received anywhere in the world (we have stayed in many hotels in over 18 countries) and they have definitely earned our loyalty. The way they treat their customers should serve as the highest model for other establishments. We could not be more impressed.
Just the AC and Wifi problems but they were handled perfectly
the location was great for us, really close to the train station and also to the metro. the hotel was clean and staff were friendly.
no slippers. the third bed was a sofa bed which wasn't comfortable at all. only one bottle of water per day for three adults.
Everything is perfect including gym and suna!
Location walking distance to Midi station, the hotel is new and clean.
Street surrounding is a bit bad
conveniently close to the train station, perfect for an early morning departure. Hotel was clean, comfortable and quiet. Complementary facilities in the room were good and good coverage of tv channels
Very near the Midi station and with the essential facilities with the minimum of fuss. Good breakfast. Helpful Reception staff
Should have clear details of how to get to the hotel from the station on the website. Neighbourhood a little scruffy ---easy to walk to city centre, but not attractive in immediate vicinity.

Maverick. A product of Probotics team 2016
By Gilda Morales
More than 30 people were treated to a demonstration at an Open House last Thursday of the “Maverick Robot” by Team 2613 Protobots, which will compete in Dallas on March 23 through the 25. Maverick was led through a series of precise maneuvers and through a rigorous obstacle course in preparation for their first competition.
According to Adrian Norman, CCAISD Teacher and Team Sponsor, Van Horn will be among 50 international teams from as far away as China and Brazil. The project is part of a class, “Concepts of Engineering,” which meets daily during the “build” season which ended February 22. Every competing team gets the same robot kit, but the similarity ends there, with each team responsible for making creative changes in their robot to meet the rigors of the yearly challenge.
VHHS Team 2613 has been fortunate in having access to the knowledge and talents of Blue Origin engineers, especially Ernie Valdez. In addition, The Bezos Foundation has provided financial assistance. The Town of Van Horn has also contributed shelving and a rolling tool cart to give the team a more professional appearance. Many of the parents have also contributed countless hours in building mock obstacles to enable the team to train under challenging conditions.
The top three teams in the Dallas completion will earn the right to compete at the National Competition in St. Louis in April. Team 2613 members includes Joseph Vorheis, Kyle Seyffert, Luna Urias, Michael Robinson, Anna Santa Cruz, Lezlie Jones, Steven Urias, Jr., and Ryan Corralez.
2016 Robotics team headed to the first FRC Robotics regional competition

Marketing Materials for MMEP Flooring Markets
Where do flooring retailers, manufacturers, distributors, interior designers, and builders go for the industry’s best flooring products? The Flooring Markets tradeshows, of course!
Unfortunately, because of the global pandemic, things have changed for tradeshows. So, it was essential to let vendors and attendees know that Flooring Markets would still be going strong this year, but there would be protocols in place.
Sage Island put a lot of time and effort into helping the Flooring Markets focus on its brand identity, as well as how they are working to keep people safe at their events that fall under their umbrella. To do this, we needed to create marketing materials, tradeshow graphics, and web designs that brought all of these needs together and promoted the 2021 events.
Campaign toolkit pattern with logo lockup.
When it came down to the Flooring Markets’ logos, campaign toolkits, and color schemes, the idea was to enhance what the brand they already had, not facilitate any major alterations.
Loyal attendees and vendors already recognized the logo, so that part of the process was relatively simple for this particular project. We did want to give their brand a slight makeover to encapsulate their identity and the new year.
Flooring Market tradeshows have a lot to offer those in the industry. It was crucial that we convey that message while ensuring the dates and locations were highly visible. Some other important focus points include were:
- COVID safety protocols and procedures.
- Promo Code for free registration.
But how to show off some of the fantastic benefits of attending these shows with such limited space? Our content needed to make a significant impact with as little copy as possible. In addition to utilizing high-impact copy, we used attention-grabbing images complemented with vibrant colors and a sleek, high gloss finish.
The main objective in creating the brochure was to sell the positive aspects of attending Flooring Markets. In addition, we needed to promote the fresh, new 2021 tagline “Source Regionally, Grow Exponentially.”
Each Flooring Marketing tradeshow had its own brochure, which showcased enticing images of the area and information about their “safe visit initiative.”
Tradeshow graphics are an essential piece to any tradeshow. Tradeshow graphics such as banners, signs, backdrops, pop-up displays, help develop a brand personality and more.
Color plays a critical role when creating tradeshow graphics because of its ability to establish a tradeshow space’s mood. So, developing a bold color pallet was a top priority for our designers. We focused on color harmony and tying in the vivid colors of current graphics with the already established logo colors. By following the proper rules of color harmony we created aseptically pleasing graphics that attracted prospects and created a sense of visual order for Flooring Markets exhibits.
For the Flooring Markets’ 2021 campaign, everything needed to come back to selling more flooring with a focus on keeping attendees safe.
Are you ready to brand – or maybe rebrand – your business or tradeshow? Contact Sage Island and let’s get started!

What do you understand by the term “Disk Partitioning”?
Your Disk drive is a mass of free and unallocated space. This disk can be segregated into several independent partitions. This is nothing but Disk Partitioning. Any physical storage device cannot be used until and unless a partition or partitions are created on it.
Why is it necessary to make partitions and how it is advantageous ?
By default, the systems already have a single partition on their hard drive. It is basically the C drive which you can see inside the 'Computer' window. In order to set up a file system, the drive needs a partition. Once, the file system is set up, new files can be saved there. It is risky to have your Operating System and other files or important data in the same partition. The partition's index file is a critical piece of data. It contains the exact locations of all the data present in your system. If this index file gets deleted or corrupted, the computer won't be able to boot the drive. Due to this, rest of the data on the system will also remain inaccessible. Above everything, one cannot just start writing data on to a blank drive.Partitions are required as these partitions act as carriers for the file system. One advantage of having partitions more than one is, backing up of data is relatively easier. Even if the data is lost for some reason, it can be retrieved with the help of the back up or by simply using an efficient data recovery software to recover lost data from your partitions in no time.
Type of partitions:
Speaking of partitions, they are too are classified according to their roles. Lets have a look at them.
- Primary partition: The Primary partition is the one in which your OS is installed. A disk with MBR partitioning style can have up to 4 primary partitions. Out of these 4 partitions, any one can be set up as an 'Active partition'. The partition which is marked as the active partition contains the boot loader and is used for loading the OS from the disk.
- Extended partition: Since, the primary partition has the limitation of only 4 partitions, extended partition serves the purpose of breaking this limitation. In an extended partition, numerous numbers of logical drives can be created. These logical drives can be further used to store data but they are usually used to store logical partitions.
Drawbacks of having multiple partitions:
- The very first disadvantage is that the data tends to grow until there is no free space anywhere but on the system drive; space that the user would be be able to use if everything was on a single large drive. This is a reason many avoid partitioning non-system disks and generally having too many partitions.
- Set-up inconvenience is another thing one has to face while using multiple partitions.However, there are certain measures one can imply to let the OS use the other partition effectively without impacting the workflow.
- Moving data from partition to another is a painfully slow process.
Here's how you can make partition in Windows.
In order to perform partitioning on Windows, you have to log in through the administrator’s account. Partitioning can be performed while installing the OS and also after an OS is installed. When you are installing an operating system, the installer will present you with a screen through which you can format, delete and resize partitions. If your Operating system is already installed and you wish to make partitions on it, you can use the ‘Disk management’ tool that shall help you resize, format, create and delete partitions. When you make a new partition, you have to specify the amount of space you wish to allot to the new partition. It can be done in the ‘Simple volume size in MB’ section which is present on the ‘Specify Volume page’.
For accessing the ‘Disk management’ tool, all you have to do is, go to ‘Control Panel’ and then search for partitions. You can click on the 'Create and format hard disk partitions'.
After you have clicked on 'Create and format hard disk partitions', a window divided into two section appears, the top section displays the list of all your partitions whereas the bottom section tells the status about the storage devices.
Apart, from this , if you wish to format any existing partition, you can do it by right clicking on it.
Warning: If and when a hard drive partition is lost or accidentally deleted, refrain from making a new partition and writing new data on it. If done so, it will be impossible to get back the lost partition and the data on it. Many times, people lose their partitions while installing a new OS or proceeding with an update. Most recent being the case of Windows 10 Anniversary update. Here's how you can recover your lost partition due to Windows 10 Anniversary update.

His Living Proof
by Abdul-Qader Bedil
English version by David and Sabrineh Fideler
The eternal mysteries,
following wisdom’s lead,
the human form
as their living proof.
As long as the drop
hadn’t emerged from the sea,
the depths of its splendor.
— from Love’s Alchemy: Poems from the Sufi Tradition, Translated by David Fideler / Translated by Sabrineh Fideler
/ Photo by alainf1 /
The “human form” in this poem is not so much a reference to human physical body as to human consciousness. Bedil is saying that humanity was created by God to be a living witness to Divinity. This is the “living proof.” He is not stating that the human body itself somehow proves the existence of the “eternal mysteries;” rather, it is through the witnessing consciousness of humanity that the Divine knows Itself in fullness. The poet makes this more clear with the metaphor of the second verse: It is only when the “drop” emerges from the “sea” that the “ocean” can envision “the depths of its own splendor.”
In other words, Bedil is giving us an answer to that fundamental spiritual question: Why does separation exist within the universe? If all is One, if everything fundamentally exists in God, why is there this devastating sense of separation and duality? The answer many mystical traditions give is that Eternal Unity divides mundane perception into the duality of seer and seen as a way to deepen the full knowledge of Being. Humanity, in this sense, has as its most important role that of witnessing Divinity. From this viewpoint, you could say that humanity becomes the eye of God. Human consciousness becomes a reflection of the Divine consciousness, a mirror in which the Eternal Unity can view Itself.
But there is an added twist to the common perception of duality. When one fulfills the role of witnessing God beyond the dizzying and sometimes heartbreaking multiplicities of the dualistic universe… the dualism fades away, revealing itself as having been an elaborate illusion. In truth, everything has always been One from start to finish. So we have a circular game of awareness: unity seeks self-knowledge through duality, but self-knowledge returns us to unity. The drop no matter how high it is flung into the air, eventually falls back into the embrace of the ocean and merges once more. Even high above the waves, the drop is water. And once returned to the ocean, it is still water (but no longer imagines itself to be a separate drop).
Abdul-Qader Bedil (also written Abd al-Qadir Bidil) is also respectfully referred to as Abu Al-ma’ani (“father of meaning”) Bedil.
There are conflicting reports of where Abdul-Qader Bedil was born. Some traditions give his birthplace as Azimabad in present day India, others say he is from Khwaja Rawash in the Kabul region of Afghanistan. There seems little debate, however, that his family originally came from Afghanistan and at some point moved to India as part of the Muslim Mughal court.
Abu Al-ma’ani Bedil wrote extensively — poetry, philosophy, wisdom stories, and riddles — and most of his writings remain with us today. He advocated religious tolerance and taught a doctrine of the Unity of Being (Wahdat al-Wujud) similar to Ibn Arabi.
Abu Al-ma’ani Bedil’s work has been hugely influential upon Persian Sufi thinkers and poets in Afghanistan, as well as a rich source of material for classical music in the area.
Just as he has two birthplaces, Abu Al-ma’ani Bedil also has two tombs, one in Delhi, India and one in Khwaja Rawash, Afghanistan.


In deciding what to release as her second single, Avril Lavigne turned to her fans – asking “I have a big decision to make today and I want my fans to help me. Do u guys want PUSH or SMILE to be my 2nd single??” They answered, and now her video for “Smile,” released last week, is now surging on the video charts. Lavigne is her lovable, angry, heavily mascara’d self, as she swears at me with delicious angst. Now you too can be yelled at and enjoy it – the video is below. Mildly potty-mouth language, kids… you know the drill.
