Nokia and Siemens hook up
MOBILE phones giant Nokia has agreed with Germany's Siemens to combine their telephone equipment arms in a deal worth about €25bn (£17bn).
Under the deal, Nokia would control a majority of board seats of the new company, which would be based in Finland, The Wall Street Journal reported today.
The company would be a joint venture headed by Nokia executive Simon Beresford-Wylie.
The deal could save the companies up to $1.6bn (£865m) a year in research and development costs.
The new venture would reduce Siemens activities in the telecommunications sector but would not see it exit entirely.
The combined firm would have about a fifth of the $65bn-a-year infrastructure equipment market, second behind Ericsson.

These days, as the evil forces in the world are trying to rewrite history, erase the biblical roots of Israel, Jewish people and even the very identity of our Lord Jesus, it is more imperative than ever that we remind ourselves and the world the undeniable TRUTH of what we are celebrating on Christmas.
The birth of Yeshua took place in a very turbulent time when King Herod ordered the execution of all male children two years of age and under.
The first nativity scene the night Jesus was born was not glamorous. He was born in the darkness of the night, in the solitude of a stable, placed in a manger, hidden from the world in fear of being killed.
Yeshua’s birth is a reminder that dark times give birth to astonishing light.
Thousands of years before Jesus was born, God had already promised He would send this world a Savior.
Isaiah 9:2 — “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”
Isaiah 9:6 — “For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Jesus was born under unimaginable circumstances, defying all odds and overcoming all obstacles.
It was God’s way of showing us the way and the path of following our Lord, that will never be smooth or easy, but it will be filled with His power, miracles, light and hope.
Today, even as we witness the darkness around us, we are blessed to carry the inextinguishable light of Jesus in our hearts and lives, that no amount of darkness could ever overcome.
This Christmas we pray from the Land where Yeshua was born over 2000 years ago, that His light will carry you through any dark times you might face. May His transformative love and saving grace fill your heart and life, so that it will overflow onto those who come in contact with you and change them just as it has changed us at one point.
As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior — Yeshua, may we always remember that He alone is our truth, our way and our life.
Praying you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating our Messiah Yeshua!
Merry Christmas from the Land of Jesus!

Equal Democracy Project focuses on several democracy-related issues: civic discourse, civic participation, electoral reform and administration, gerrymandering, money in politics, and voting rights.
A strong democracy requires a well-informed and engaged public that debates, questions, and, when necessary, challenges those in power. Good-faith public discourse among those with diverse perspectives enables a government that is more responsive to and aligned with the interests of the public. Every individual should be able to speak and be heard without coercion or suppression. However, civic discourse can be strained and distorted by facets of modern life—including social media, opinion news programming, and misinformation—which undermine notions of shared, objective facts on which the public can rely. The Equal Democracy Project is dedicated to supporting principles of good-faith discourse in a fair and accessible public square, and it supports reforms that will help achieve this goal.
Participation in the political process is fundamental to any functioning democracy, but voter turnout in the United States consistently ranks far below that of comparable democracies. Participation at the ballot box and beyond ensures that elected officials reflect the full range of interests and priorities of their constituents. At the same time, we must ensure that our elected officials reflect the rich diversity of the people that make up our country by encouraging participation and alleviating barriers for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to not only vote but also run for office. The Equal Democracy Project supports reforms that make it easier to participate in civic life, such as prioritizing civic education, making Election Day a national holiday, implementing automatic voter registration, implementing automatic voter registration, prioritizing civic education, and addressing barriers that inhibit marginalized groups from running for office.
Electoral Reform & Administration
Voter participation is only as effective as the system in which citizens cast their votes. Our current election administration system suffers from long wait lines, insecure ballot boxes, and a lack of poll worker support. More broadly, our electoral system fails to produce outcomes that accurately reflect the will of the people, forcing voters to “vote strategically” instead of their true preferences, as well as allowing the popular-vote winner of the presidency to still lose the election. The Equal Democracy Project supports increasing investment in election administration, adopting ranked choice voting, and abolishing the electoral college.
In order for our democracy to be truly equal, everyone’s vote must carry the same weight. However, politicians effectively divest citizens of their equal voting power by drawing contrived district maps to maintain their party’s electoral dominance. This gerrymandering leads to a composition of lawmakers in federal and state legislatures that looks nothing like the popular vote of their constituents. The Equal Democracy Project supports reforms to eliminate the distorting influence of gerrymandering so that we may realize one of the most basic principles of our democracy: one person, one vote.
Money in Politics
Elections should be won, not bought. Wealthy donors, corporations, and other special interest groups substitute money for votes, distorting representation and corrupting our democracy. A government more responsive to money than the millions it serves neglects the voice of the people. Money decides who runs, who matters, who wins, and, subsequently, the laws that pass. The Equal Democracy Project is dedicated to returning power to the people by strengthening candidate accountability rules, increasing transparency in donor reporting, closing the revolving door between legislators and lobbyists, and supporting substantive campaign finance reforms that reduce the influence of money in politics.
Voting is the lifeblood of any democracy. Yet state legislatures across the country are working systematically to prevent citizens from voting. Under the guise of election security, these tactics include exact-match ID requirements, voter roll purges, reduced absentee and early voting opportunities. These restrictive measures arbitrarily hinder citizens—especially Black, brown, and low-income Americans—from exercising their right to vote. Moreover, millions of Americans are excluded from the democratic process due to criminal disenfranchisement laws. The Equal Democracy Project is committed to fully enfranchising individuals involved in the criminal justice system and to ensuring that all Americans have fair access to the ballot.

October 14, 2022 | By Hank Cunningham
Inflation is a global issue. In Europe, consumer prices are above 10% with no sign of relief. There has also been extra turbulence caused by extraordinary developments in the UK. There is little doubt that short-term interest rates and market bond yields are headed higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve has signaled at least two more hikes before year end, which would produce a Fed Funds Rate of 4.5%. Others believe the Fed will tighten further, with the Fed Funds Rate peaking next year.
As to market yields, the U.S. two-year yield, currently at 4.4%, could reach 5% with further tightening and the 10-year appears to be headed for 4.5%. There have been few signs of strains in credit markets but vigilance is required. Given the extent of the bond market selloff, it is likely there will be rallies from time to time.
The Fed has stated that it needs to see several consecutive monthly improvements in inflation statistics before reconsidering its policy stance. There is growing evidence of an acceleration in wage demands, which will act as a floor for inflation.
The Bank of Canada has little choice but to follow the Fed as the Canadian economy has also proved to be resilient. In addition, the Canadian dollar has suffered at the hands of a strong U.S. dollar; the weaker loonie will exacerbate inflation trends in Canada as import prices add to domestic price pressures.
In summary, global credit markets have discounted the next rounds of interest rate hikes by central banks. This removes the surprise factor and should result in few knee-jerk reactions. There remains the possibility that several central banks may reduce their bloated balance sheets via bond sales.
The big question remains: when will we see inflation turn? Thus far, inflation has been slow to respond to tightening and, in fact, has accelerated somewhat. There is a six to nine month lag before monetary tightening takes effect, so it is possible markets will see some improvement on the inflation front in the first or second quarter of next year.

On Friday, the Supreme Court of the United States gave President Donald Trump a major win. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court voted to allow the President to divert $2.5 billion in military funds to help build an extra 100 miles of border wall across the California and Mexico border.
The 5-4 vote by the justices reversed the orders by a federal judge in Oakland, California and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals across the bay in San Francisco that prevented the Trump administration from using the Pentagon’s funds to help Trump build his border wall.

A small protest on front of the Valencia street police station in the Mission District of San Francisco.
The people peaceful gathered to demand justice for Amilcar Perez Lopez, who was an 21 year-old immigrant from Guatemala.
A police officer in Jackson, Georgia who made-up a story about being shot by a black man faces four felony charges, including giving false statements to police, because on September 13, police officer Sherry Hall claimed that while on patrol around 12am, according to her report she saw a” 6ft tall, 230 lbs black man wearing a green shirt and black jogging pants”, loitering on the side of the street.
She claimed that “after she exited the vehicle, he became very argumentative” which led to him pulling out a gun and shooting her in the lower part of her vest.
As the Georgia Bureau of Investigation started to investigate officer Hall’s case, her story immediately began to unravel, it soon became obviously to them that officer Hall fabricated the entire story, no doubt placing the well-being of many black men in that area, in danger of cops seeking retribution for a fellow officer, who they believed was wounded in the line of duty. According to the Root.com GBI Special Agent in Charge Joe Wooten said: ” the investigation revealed that there is, and never was , a suspect at large in Jackson, Georgia. ”
The killing of Philando Castile, by who we now now as officer Jeronimo Yanez , has now been ruled a homicide by Hennepin County Medical Examiner, according to the Washington Post .
Officer Yanez, shot and killed Mr. Castile in front of his four-year old daughter and his fiancee. During a traffic stop, where Mr. Castile attempted to retrieve his wallet and I.D. on the request of the officers, after informing the officers he was in possession of a legally permitted firearm.
In a new strategy to prevent the possible crimes of police officers from being seen by the public and creating backlash against police brutality and racism, that can be used as motivation by grassroots activists like members of the Black Lives Matter movement, who have been protesting the recent killings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota . Pat McCrory the governor of North Carolina signed a new bill limiting who can see the footage from police cams.
Whereas, in the past video footage from police cams would of been considered public information, this new North Carolina Law limits who can see the video to the people who are in the video, and even that request by a person in the video can still be denied and would have to be taken to superior court. This law without a doubt, will hurt the people most affected by police violence and that’s poor people of color, who will find it more difficult to hire a good lawyer to fight for their right to see the video, assuming they are not slained like Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
The family of Akai Gurley unite with local NYC activists, to protest the recommendation from Brooklyn District Attorney, that ex-NYPD officer serve no time behind bars for killing an unarmed man. The Brooklyn D.A proposed Liang, instead serves his manslaughter conviction at home, in house arrest. Peter Liang was convicted of killing unarmed Akai Gurley earlier this year.

N.C. Supreme Court strikes down Cabarrus building fees
Send this to a friend
Cabarrus County will have to look somewhere other than big fees levied on the construction of new homes to fund the costs of residential growth.
The N.C. Supreme Court has ruled the county doesn’t have the authority to enforce an adequate public facilities ordinance, or AFPO, which is designed to pay for new schools as the population grows.
Builders are elated.
In 1998, the Cabarrus Board of County Commissioners enacted the AFPO, which eventually assessed fees approaching $9,000 for each new single-family home built in the county.
The fees had to be paid before approval was given for new subdivisions.
In the 5-2 decision, the justices wrote the N.C. General Assembly — and not local governments — has the power approve such levies.
“The General Assembly is best suited to address the complex issues involving population growth and its impact on public education throughout the state,” the 70-page ruling states.
Cabarrus County officials didn’t return calls requesting comment on the court ruling.
Cabarrus became the second county in the Charlotte region to see its AFPO shot down. For a while in 2007, Union County’s fee, which had reached as high as $15,000 per new home, was assessed on builders.
Later that year, the Union Board of County Commissioners dismantled the fee plan.
The state Supreme Court decision in the Cabarrus case came on a suit filed in 2008 by a group of 20 local developers. The suit sought the return of approximately $2.6 million in fees collected by the county between 1998 and 2008.

CTF releases new report on council’s pension
- Calgary’s council pension cost taxpayers more than Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver combined between 2007-2016
- After just one term on council, a councillor will receive $290,000 in benefits
- Calgary is the only major Canadian city that gives two pensions to its mayor
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released a new report today on the golden pension benefits provided to each member of Calgary’s city council. The CTF renewed its call for Calgary to copy Edmonton’s pension model going forward.
“Over the past decade, taxpayers have contributed more to Calgary’s city council pension than Edmonton, Ottawa and Vancouver combined,” said CTF Alberta Director Colin Craig. “The current council didn’t come up with their golden pension system, but they need to scale it back to something more reasonable.”
Other key findings from the report, include:
- After just four years in office, a city councillor can expect to receive approximately $9,433/yr once retired, rising with inflation for the rest of their life (plus CPP). If they live to 85, they can expect approximately $290,866 in benefits while only contributing approximately $42,037.
- CTF estimates council’s longest serving councillor, Ray Jones, can expect a pension of approximately $66,034 per year if he retires in 2021 (plus CPP). If he lives to 85, he can expect to receive approx. $1,250,704 in benefits (while contributing far less than $208,000).
- Calgary appears to be the only major city in Canada that provides two pensions to its mayor. The CTF estimates that Mayor Nenshi can expect to receive approximately $1,415,791 in benefits if he lives to 85 (while only contributing approx. $158,815).
- From 2007-2016, council’s pension benefits cost taxpayers $6.1 million while council members only contributed $1.2 million towards their pension benefits.
“Calgary should copy what Edmonton does for its city council pension,” added Craig. “Edmonton’s pension system is still generous, but over the past decade, they spent less than half of what Calgary spent every single year.”

Anycast DNS provider, DNS Made Easy, announces that they’ve finished a series of network upgrades and implementations designed to slash resolution times and increase redundancy across their global network.
(Reston, VA) PRWEB — Just a few months after expanding their IP Anycast + network into both Singapore and Amsterdam, DNS Made Easy announces that they’ve successfully completed all of their first quarter expansions. Over the last few months, the DNS Made Easy engineers have taken measures to optimize all aspects of the network, across all five regions. The changes will be immediately noticeable to end-users, from boosted security efforts to decreased resolution times, and more.
“Every quarter, we reevaluate our network performance to ensure that we are exceeding industry standards across the board.” Says President of DNS Made Easy Steven Job.
This quarter, there were many changes implemented that will greatly improve overall network performance. The most notable of which were the completed turn-ups of both their TeliaSonera and Telstra implementations.
“We’ve chosen to partner with only top tier data providers and peering networks, to both increase our network capacity and decrease resolution times,” says Job.
The Telstra implementation will drastically cut down on resolution times in the Asia-Pacific region, and boost security for end-users. The partnership with TeliaSonera will allow for better speeds and increased redundancy primarily in Europe.
In addition to these new partnerships, DNS Made Easy has also increased capacity in most of their facilities around the world. This is a continual effort that’s done regularly to ensure the network is always ready to defend against modern security threats.
“Our engineers constantly researching, upgrading, and redesigning our network to exceed industry standards,” says Job.

KENNETCOOK — It’s mission accomplished for the Dr. W.A. MacLeod Coyotes.
The middle school boys basketball team set out with a season goal of winning two tournaments, the district title, and the regional championship. The Coyotes hit all those targets and wrapped up the final one last week in Kennetcook when they defeated the host Hants North Flames 91-42 to win the Northumberland Region Junior High Division 2 Boys basketball title.
Coyotes’ co-captain Keinon DeCoste scored 15 points in the championship game. He said they worked as a team all season long and that made the difference.
“We have great team chemistry and we worked well together. I think we had some good depth,” he said after the championship.
Fellow co-captain Dakota Fitt scored 13 in the final game and said he was proud of the effort they all put in.
“Everyone played their hardest all season to accomplish this final goal.”
Those four titles weren’t a sure thing, though. Last month, in their second tournament of the year, the Coyotes had to overcome a 17-point deficit against the host New Glasgow Academy Panthers before earning a one-point win and a spot in the tourney’s championship game. They then went on to win their second tournament in the very next game by beating Bible Hill.
Fitt said that was a turning point which gave the Coyotes momentum.
“That was huge. It just boosted our confidence a bunch to come and win Regionals.”
Nathan Grant led the W.A. offence against Hants North with 18 points while Braden McKay scored 13.
The regional championship was the result of plenty of hard work by every player, Coyotes’ head coach Nick Irvine said.
“Every practice we came out and worked hard. Since we worked hard everyone played. We accomplished this as a family.”
The Coyotes began the regional tournament with a 75-59 win over St. Andrews Jr. High.
DeCoste powered the Coyotes to the win with 27 points. Grant scored 18 with eight each from Fitt, Aaron MacLeod, and Aiden Pellerine.

I’ve been wanting to try out Gozleme Cafe ever since its big signs went up on London Circuit (close to UniPub) in the city.
Gozleme Cafe is only open Monday to Friday for breakfast and lunch. If you don’t work in the city, it can be difficult to find an excuse to visit.
I saw the menu after a work colleague brought it in to work. Prices are very reasonable and cheap! I made it my mission to pop in for breakfast on a day off.
There are a few tables inside with a glass display cabinet filled with various borek (a baked or fried pastry usually filled with cheese and other yummy things inside). Baklava sits on top of the counter as well as some Turkish Delight.
A closer look at the four borek available ($5 each) – mince meat, chicken gourmet, cheese and spinach, and chilli baked potato.
I decided to sit outside on what will probably be the last few warm mornings we have left this year. The outdoor setting is of a more traditional Turkish style with small stools and a very low traditional table with a metallic top engraved with patterns. I found my knees kept hitting the table so I had to angle my knees to the side, while twisting my body to try to get close to the table. I looked as awkward as that reads. But it does look lovely – all that’s missing is some shisha.
I knew I wanted one of the egg dishes. The lady behind the counter said the Menemen in sahan (the classic Turkish breakfast $9) was her favourite, so I went with that. A sahan is the traditional copper skillet that hot food comes in. The menemen consisted of onion, tomato, green peppers and egg. A side of Turkish bread is provided with all breakfast dishes and this was displayed nicely in a cute white canvas sack. The menemen is similar to a shakshuka but the eggs are scrambled. I thought this was delicious with a mix of subtle spices and tomato goodness. I really enjoyed dunking the Turkish bread in and scooping up the menemen mix. A simple dish done very well that really hit the spot. I forgot to ask whether the bread was made onsite.
I ordered Turkish coffee ($3.50) and was asked how many sugars I wanted as it is quite strong. I asked for one sugar and figured I could always add more in if needed. Little did I know that Turkish coffee is brewed differently – the coffee, sugar and water are mixed before they are simmered together. A thick layer of coffee grounds, almost like sludge, lies at the bottom of the cup (apparently keeping your coffee warmer for longer) so you can’t really stir in any more sugar after the coffee is made or it mixes the ‘sludge’ up, becoming undrinkable. The coffee came out in a beautiful traditional Turkish cup and saucer. A small glass of cold water was also provided which freshens the mouth before tasting the coffee.
The size of the coffee is small but you’re not meant to drink it quickly. Instead, you take little sips and enjoy. The colour is dark and looks chocolatey. After the initial bitter notes, I did begin to enjoy it. I’ll need more sugar next time.
The dried chillies placed in a small bowl on the table are great for those who require extra spice in their meals.
I couldn’t help admiring the patterns engraved on the metal table top. I would love to travel to Turkey one day.
Service was friendly and the lady behind the counter was very helpful in deciding on what to eat. I was impressed with the quality of food and the cheap prices. $9 for that breakfast is a bargain! Already thinking about lunch, I bought the chilli baked potato borek ($5) to go. Heated up, the pastry was still nice and flakey.
The filling is mashed potato mixed with chilli powder, capsicum salsa and onion. It’s a little spicy leaving a nice burn in your mouth but not spicy enough to start sweating. I liked it.
I also bought a single baklava to go ($2.50) which came in a little plastic container. A sweet tasty treat. No complaints here.
The only downside is the cafe is only open Monday to Friday for breakfast and lunch. If you don’t work in the city, you’ll either have to travel in on your lunch break or make sure you pop in on a day off. I don’t think there are any plans to open on the weekend at this stage. Definitely worth a try!

What happened next was nothing short of tragedy as king cobra turned back and bit his rescuer on his lips. The video of the incident, which took place in Karnataka's Shivamogga, has gone viral.
Vishal Ranjan, registrar with the institute confirmed the four deaths and that the rescue operation "has been stopped for now because of heavy rainfall and snowfall in the region".
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD&CEO of DEWA, has emphasised the vital role that the media plays in enhancing sustainable development in its social, economic, and environmental aspects, as well as raising awareness of the shift towards a green economy.
The request in Geneva came a day after Julien Harneis, the UN coordinator for Pakistan, said diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, scabies and malnutrition are fueling a "second wave of death and destruction," with children and women in its path.

I’d been on a lot of rivers in my time, some grand and beautiful, others ugly and smelly. I’d had a lot of amazing adventures in my trusty little boat, but despite many grand vistas and even grander claims of the promoters, they all ended up in the same boring Sea of Conformity.
“There has to be something else,” I said to myself, sitting alone on a park bench by the Aquarius River. “I’m tired and bored and I just know there’s a river somewhere that can take me someplace new. I feel it in my bones, but I’ve looked everywhere and haven’t found it.”
“I know where it is,” a voice said, and I jumped a little, startled to find a man sitting next to me on the bench.
“I know where to find the river you seek.”
“You do? Where?”
“It’s right in front of you.”
“Nonsense. I’ve been down this river a hundred times and it empties into the Sea of Conformity, just like all the others.”
“Ah, but have you ever allowed the river to carry you? Have you ever told the river you want to go someplace new, and then put aside your paddle and let it take you there?”
“You’re crazy!” I exclaimed. “That would be suicide! And why would I talk to a river? It’s just water and it can only go where its banks guide it.”
“Perhaps,” he said, looking intently into my eyes. “Or maybe there’s more to rivers than what you realize. And maybe you’ve already told the river what you want, and that’s why I’m here.”
I stared at him.
“I’ve got to run,” he said, rising abruptly. “But I’m taking a group down the river tomorrow and we’re NOT going to the sea. We leave at 6:00 AM sharp if
I stared at the river a moment, incredulous. “But...” I began, and when I looked he was gone.
What a crazy lunatic! But something about him intrigued me, and by the time I got home I knew I wouldn’t be able to rest until I knew what it was. I was bored and had nothing to lose anyway, so why not a little adventure?
Early next morning I pushed my little boat – food, water and gear carefully secured inside – into the river and floated down to where the guide, already in his boat, was watching a crowd of people desperately trying to cram way too much stuff into their boats. As soon as he saw me he called to the crowd, “We’re leaving now! You won’t need all that stuff, so come along or stay behind as you choose.”
“Welcome to Realization River!” the guide’s voice floated over the water as we all gathered around him in our boats and began our journey. “I’ll be with you all the way, but you’re about to do something no one has ever done. Even I have not been where you are going, so you’re entirely responsible for your own journey.”
“This guy’s crazy!” someone shouted. “Everyone knows this is the Aquarius River, and that there’s nothing new between here and the Sea of Conformity!”
“For you that is true,” the guide said, “for the river always reflects your expectations. Anyone who cannot accept that there might be more than one river in this space should turn back now, for it’s going to be a rough ride that will undo everything you ever thought you knew. You’d best go home and enjoy your boring and comfortable life while you can.” Quite a few people turned back then, and I was tempted, for this guide was clearly crazy. But I was fed up with my boring and comfortable life, so I stayed just to see what on earth he was talking about.
Soon we rounded a bend and were swept into the first rapid. It was a mild one I’d been through many times, so I didn’t think twice as I dug in my paddle and aimed for the usual channel. But to my surprise, the harder I paddled the more it seemed the river fought me! Then my boat flipped and I was in the water, with nothing to do but let it carry me to a sandbar at the bottom of the rapid. Some of my gear washed up there too, along with my capsized boat.
“That was spectacular!” the guide said, laughing and sitting calmly in his boat as the water rushed past. I glared at him. Where was his paddle? How was he doing that? “There’s only one rule on this river,” he said: “Allow it to carry you.”
“Of course it’s carrying me!” I replied indignantly.
“Then why are you spending so much energy fighting it?” he asked, before zipping effortlessly off to speak with someone else.
After washing up several more times I finally eased up on controlling my boat, mostly from pure embarrassment. And to my surprise, my ride got a lot smoother. It made no sense at all.
The journey continued, and a few days later we entered a canyon with much more intense rapids. By then I was realizing there really was something to what the guide kept telling me, and just in time I remembered to pull my paddle out of the water. To my amazement it was the smoothest run I’d ever had through that canyon, but that was nothing compared to my surprise at emerging from the canyon into a land I had never seen before!
“Congratulations,” the guide said as his boat came effortlessly alongside mine. “You finally allowed the river to take you somewhere new!”
Then the river became even more intense, sometimes passing through deep and treacherous canyons and whitewater rapids like I’d never seen before, and sometimes through gentle stretches so beautiful it took my breath away. I was learning to keep my paddle out of the water, but every so often something would scare me and I’d forget. That never ended well and soon all but the barest essentials of my gear had been lost. Yet somehow, I always had what I needed.
Every day now, the guide talked to us about what was happening. “You’ve entered an entirely new reality,” he said. “You’re starting a whole new lifetime without dying, so your body is having to adjust, and that’s painful. Just let it happen, and let the river carry you. It’s a natural process that you’ve chosen, so don’t fight it and don’t try to control it. The river knows what you want and it’s here to serve you, so let it!”
Six days after leaving the Aquarius river we stopped early, a thundering roar coming from just around the next bend. “You’ve come so far and let go of so much, and I’m so proud of you!” the guide said. “But from here on, if you want to survive you’ve got to let go of all your battles. And not just with the river. It’s time to let go of the battles with yourself, with your body, and with everything else, for any battle you’re still fighting will suck you right to the bottom. You don’t have to be perfect, for the river will cleanse you and take whatever you don’t need anymore. But trust me on this: do not go forward until you are at least willing to let the battles go!”
Next morning I woke early, eager now to see where this incredible adventure would take me. Leaving my tent and everything else behind, I was already sitting in my boat at the edge of the river when the guide called everyone together for another meeting. “Today is your day of realization,” he said. “Today is when you realize that you are creation itself. The energies of this river are your energies. Allow them to serve you, for this is the day when the creator (you) meets itself within its own creation and everything cha...”
The guide’s voice was drowned out by the noise of the river, and suddenly I realized my boat had somehow come free and was being carried swiftly downstream. For a moment I panicked and paddled desperately for shore, only to find the river pushing me harder, and then I remembered. “There’s only one thing for this,” I said to myself. I threw the paddle away and surrendered. And then the river was gone. With a soft whisper it simply fell out from under me, and my boat and I plunged into the cloud of mist rising from thunder below.
For what seemed like ages I fell, or floated, I can’t tell which. Many experiences met me along the way: a long airplane ride; a sunny Greek island with amazing food and new friends; a beautiful and amazing woman, with whom I simply feel “home”; living in a beautiful new country I barely knew existed; I’m married and have a stepson (wait, what?); I’m a channeler (really?); and so many more unexpected experiences. And I’m so happy!
I look around. Even the boat has disappeared. It’s just me now, watching myself. How did this happen? Is it a dream? Is it about to end in a sudden crash at the bottom of the waterfall? Where am I? One moment I’m walking on beautiful solid earth, the next I seem to be floating, but in what? A river? The sky? I can’t tell and it’s constantly changing. I can’t see where I’m going, but where I am is so beautiful, so full of love, joy and grace!
Uh oh, I see a storm just ahead. For a moment I panic and run, and the storm instantly becomes a dark roiling monster with lightning striking at my heels. Then I remember and stop. I surrender, and the storm becomes gentle mist and warm sunlight that tenderly caresses me. I realize there’s nothing to do now but let in the love. Oh, the love! I’ve never known so much, from myself or others! I pinch myself in case I’m dreaming.
My body feels as though it’s been shredded into a thousand bits with each one living in a different dimension. I’m so very sensitive. So much joy. So many tears. So alive, so close to death. So disoriented. So clear. So...
“Welcome to your new life, my friend!” It’s the guide, on the eighth day, and we’re sitting in a grassy meadow full of wildflowers and butterflies.
“Thanks,” I reply. “I feel so disoriented, and my body feels like it could disintegrate at any moment. And I’m so happy and crying so much too!”
“No one has ever experienced this before,” he says, “not even I or Kuthumi. Your body is crying, for it has taken the brunt of all this transformation. Just keep allowing it, and keep allowing all the experiences of this new life.”
I look around and everything is so amazingly beautiful. The future is unknown and even the river is no longer here to guide me, but there’s a flow to this new life. No, there’s a presence to it, and I realize it’s my own presence. I am within my own creation, and in surrender to that I find such a ground of joy that supersedes even the deepest confusion and pain. I exist! I am that I am! And ALL is well in my creation.

Aerosmith reunites with drummer Joey Kramer after Grammys performance drama
Joey Kramer reunited with Aerosmith less than a month after the band made headlines because the drummer was not allowed to play with the group at the Grammy Awards.
Kramer, a founding member of Aerosmith who has played in the rock band for 50 years, was denied the opportunity to play alongside the band at this year's MusiCares Person of the Year gala and the award show. The decision was made in January by Superior Court Judge Mark Gildea after Kramer sued the band over breach of contract for shutting him out following an injury.
Monday night, the band was back together as Kramer joined the group onstage at their Deuces Are Wild residency at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Along with Kramer, Aerosmith founding members are Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford.
Audience members shared videos of the reunion to social media.
At the time of the court ruling, which came days before the group's scheduled performance at the Grammys, Kramer said he was "extremely disappointed" by the outcome.
"I knew filing a lawsuit was a bit of an uphill battle," Kramer said in a statement to USA TODAY. "I can hold my head high knowing that I did the right thing – to fight for my right to celebrate the band’s success that I have dedicated the better part of my life to helping build."
While accepting the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year award, Kramer and his fellow band members took the stage – but Kramer awkwardly left before he could join them in a performance.
"They are brothers. They refer to each other as brothers, and they even fight like brothers," entertainment lawyer (and lawyer to Tyler) Dina LaPolt said before introducing the group as the night's honoree. All five members took to the stage, but only two spoke on behalf of the band: Tyler and Kramer.
Tyler clutched Kramer's shoulder at the podium while he doled out thank you's and said, "Remember, people only really get interesting when they start to rattle the bars on their cages. And the best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up."

English and German Diction for Singers: A Comparative Approach (2nd ed.)
Lyric diction is a portal to powerful and meaningful vocal performance because diction enables singers to communicate the vision of both the poet and the composer. The study of diction involves learning to perceive speech patterns in different languages, practicing their precise articulation, recognizing this in speech and singing, and developing an awareness of the refined movements of the articulators and their effects on singing tone. In the second edition of English and German Diction for Singers, Amanda Johnston continues her comparative, modernized approach to lyric diction. This comprehensive resource offers a thorough analysis of the German and English languages and includes extensive oral drills, word lists, tables, charts, musical examples, and even tongue twisters. Unique to this publication is the illustration of the rhythmic timing and release of consonants within the International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions in all musical examples. This book is designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses in German and English lyric diction and is an invaluable resource for classical singers, vocal coaches, and voice teachers alike.

With the KICKR Bike, Wahoo has only one goal in mind: To bring the realism of your bike as true to life indoors. Wahoo does this by applying numerous innovations in the KICKR Bike. Thus, Wahoo managed to get almost all the features of the legendary KICKR line in one device. The KICKR Bike has, among other things, a built-in power meter and slope simulation. The only thing missing is the wind simulation. With this cycletrainer you have almost everything you need to keep in shape, without the hassle of changing cassettes, spindles or quick-release devices when you want to train indoors.
However, the KICKR Bike uses a different type of motor than the entire KICKR series, this is the absolute top model. This motor has a maximum power of 2200 watts and thanks to the large flywheel in combination with a motorized brake, it gives an extremely precise and realistic cycling feeling. The resistance change is very smooth, so that climbing, accelerating, decelerating and descending feel almost the same as on your bicycle! This realistic feeling is assisted by the slope simulation. The KICKR Bike contains the same technology as the KICKR Climb. This allows you to climb up to 20% and descend up to 15%. There is hardly a bike ride that cannot be simulated by the KICKR Bike!
Like riding outdoors
You can adjust the incline manually, but if you are doing a workout the KICKR Bike will adjust the incline and cadence automatically. Since the KICKR Bike actually changes the incline, it feels like you are actually climbing or descending. Shifting gears is also simulated as naturally as possible. Not only are the shifters realistically designed, they are also fully adjustable, from sprocket per chainring to entire groupsets from SRAM, Shimano and Campagnolo. This makes shifting feel exactly like on your bike. And with the digital display on the frame, you can see exactly the gradient and the gear you're in.
3rd party apps and connectivity
Naturally, the Wahoo KICKR Bike connects to most popular workout apps, including Zwift, The Sufferfest, FulGaz, Rouvy and TrainerRoad. You can also use the Wahoo Fitness App and link any bike computer with a Bluetooth or ANT+ connection to the KICKR Bike.
To get the most out of your outdoor cycling experience, you want to be on your bike trainer exactly the same as you are on your road or mountain bike. Fortunately, this can be done very easily with the Wahoo Fitness App. This allows you to copy the geometry of your bike very precisely and translate it to the KICKR Bike. You can adjust the KICKR Bike to your ideal position at up to 5 different points (saddle height and angle, frame height, stack, reach and crank length). Furthermore, because the KICKR Bike uses universal mounting options for the handlebars and saddles, you can easily replace them with your preferred handlebars or saddles.
The famous quality
Like the entire KICKR line of Wahoo you can expect the best quality and the best materials.
Wahoo Fitness App
The Wahoo Fitness App is available for free download in the Itunes App Store or Google Playstore. This app has 4 workout settings for the Wahoo KICKR:
1. Level mode: select a level from 1-9. The level you select determines how challenging the ride is, using a power curve similar to that of a standard trainer on air or liquid resistance (higher speed = more power).
2. Resistance mode: manually adjust the resistance from 0 to 100%.
3. Ergo mode: enter the desired power output and the trainer automatically adjusts to keep you at the specified wattage, regardless of your speed
4. Simulation mode: uses rolling resistance, air resistance, cyclist's weight and different gradients to simulate a real ride.

- Charging plug
- Allen wrench for assembly
- Platform pedals

History of platter tectonics
Abstract A lot of specialists assumed that as World refrigerated just after its settings, the planet’s work surface wrinkled and contracted similar to the facial skin of an berry often known as an apple company, subjected to the sun and drying out out with time.paper topics The contraction concept, independently predicted by two renowned investigators in the early 1900s and latter 19th century, revealed that hill can vary much like the Himalayas ended up pressured up via the wrinkling course of action. This way of thinking was implicit that each of the functions on the globe had established through an individual chilling course of action and also our planet was somewhat static, replacing little as the cooling down slowed to your stop above millions of many years.
Keywords: scientists, continents, principle ? Plate Tectonics would be the way of thinking clearing the international allocation of geological reality. These facts were actually helping by the huge selection of confirmation that takes into consideration the earth’s crust and top mantle being tranquil of numerous sizeable for example volcanism, continental drift, and seismicity. Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, and geophysicist have been not pleased in that enlightenment. His beliefs drew about the commonly noted idea that Latin America and Africa sprang out to in good shape mutually like jigsaw puzzle portions (Reed, 2015). Alfred Wegener made up lighter conditions information about how much the climate was like in the geologic record as within rocks, coming from the continents on with the Atlantic. Alfred Wegener documented that belts of coal, which types in exotic places, cross from America in Asian countries and European union, distant northern from the innovative tropics. Wegener also observed confirmation an ice page possessed once extremely developed with India and the southern part of Africa, an existence that has been not possible to allow specifics in the modern familiarity with the continents.
To describe information, Wegener estimated continental drift which is a way of thinking in Wegener`s guide. Affirming that each of the continents got at the start attaching through the time age referred to as Carboniferous in Pangaea that is a supercontinent. By way of the Eocene, when refreshing fossil versions were actually close these were definitely less broadly dispersed(Palmer, Lamb, Gavira Guerrero &Frances,2011).The continents as we recognize them in the present day had busted a part and substantially plenty of apart that assortment could not quite easily voyage from to the other. When Wegener’s paperback was converting into French, Spanish language, Language and European in 1924, Wegener was extensively ridiculed for indicating that this continents possessed prompted. One of the main harms with Wegener`s concept is failing to recommend a robust mechanism for any motion of your continents. Wegener Did not make clear the strength going the continents. Wegener rarely place it straightforward exactly where the movement got (Wegener, 2011) In addition, Wegener by no means informed exactly the compel which was necessary to proceed the region. Wegener had designed his case based on information and facts out of the continents; even so the oceans include 70 percent of Earth’s floor – a major community obscured from Wegener access under kilometers water. Another and 1st Entire world Competitions helped bring considerable and medical and technological changes that allowed researchers to look at the magnetism of seafloor rocks in great detail and map the water flooring. These sets of advice furnished geologists with even further proof for the creation of continental drift. Earlier on 1920s, the crust beneath the seas was widely known as featureless and toned. All through World Warfare I, yet, ships set up with sonar began to produce info on the situation on the seafloor. The seafloor was demonstrated to be featureless by sonar maps. Instead, the seas surface managed valleys more intense compared to Huge Canyon, hill chains rivaling the Andes in length and measurements, and vast, ripped plains. In these days, plenty of the verification in relation to platter tectonics is procured by means of satellite technologies. Through satellite-established data range solutions and world-wide position technique, specialists can openly measure full speed and route of movement or acceleration of dishes on Earth’s area. Rates of speed array from 10 to 100 millimeters per year, affirming the prolonged-performed concept that plates step on a slow but consistent level.

2. CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX - Nebulas (5:35)
Album: Great Escape (2018)
Label/Distribution: Season Of Mist/Soulfood
Once again CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX are a reflection of Justin Greaves' state of mind. One almost feels like discovering a few light emotions on "Great Escape", as in "Nebulas". But CBP are still CPB: melancholic, angry, cynical, tender, aggressive, thoughtful - and thus impressive.
3. BEAK> - Brean Down (3:51)
Album: >>> (2018)
BEAK> offer on ">>>" a successful mixture of late 60s psychedelia and Krautrock with less electronic influences than before.

4. AARON BROOKS - I'm Afraid (2:51)
album: Homunculus (2018)
label/distribution: Gentle Art Of Music/Soulfood

Album: Life Is A Killer (2018)
Label/Distribution: NNK/Just For Kicks

album: In Flight (2018)
Only one year after the first strike Guy Manning presents the second DAMANEK album "In Flight". He garnishes the mixture of prog and jazz rock on "Ragusa" with a pinch of pop, but also doesn't shy away from big gestures. This is how progressive music should sound: forward-looking and at the same time preserving traditions. (RELEASE: 12.10.)

NTSB Identification: SEA96LA083.
The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division
Accident occurred Thursday, April 18, 1996 in CHEYENNE, WY
Probable Cause Approval Date: 02/28/1997
Aircraft: Cessna 172, registration: N733FF
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The pilot stated that he was practicing touch-and-goes at the airport. One of the approaches was 'steeper than normal,' and the pilot landed 'flat.' The airplane porpoised, and the propeller blades contacted the ground. The pilot then executed a go-around, re-entered the traffic pattern, and landed uneventfully. After the flight, the pilot noticed damage to the propeller blades and alerted the operator. No preimpact mechanical malfunction was reported by the pilot. A detailed inspection of the airplane revealed a wrinkle in the firewall and a bend in the fuselage nose gear support structure.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: the pilot's improper flare during the landing and improper recovery from the subsequent bounced landing. A factor relating to the accident was: the pilot's failure to maintain the proper approach path during the approach for landing. Full narrative available
