Jan. 2 – 8
Whatever you consider beautiful, ugly, wonderful, tasty, or aromatic is simply a projection of your superstitious mind
– Lama Yeshe
Blue Cliff Record #46: Jingqing and the Raindrops
Jingqing, b. 867, in the Caodong (Soto) lineage, was a dharma heir of Xuefeng and dharma brother of Yunmen.
Jingqing asked asked a monk, "What is that sound outside?"
The monk said, "That is the sound of raindrops."
Jingqing said, "People live in a topsy-turvy world. They lose themselves in delusion about themselves and only pursue [outside] objects."
The monk said, "What about you, Master?"
Jingqing said, "I was on the brink of losing myself in such delusions about myself."
The monk said, "What do you mean, 'on the brink of losing myself in such delusions about myself'?"
Jingqing said, "To break through [into the world of Essence] may be easy. But to express fully the bare substance is difficult."
Notes by Katsuki Sekida:
"What is the noise outside?" This is the teacher's leading question. It is the mother hen tapping at the eggshell [Cf. Jingqing in last week's case.]
"That is the voice of the raindrops." The chick is pecking from inside. Zen has two aspects, the absolute and the positive. The absolute side is that of absolute samadhi, where there are no objects — no mountain, no river, no man, no woman, no plant, no animal, no rain, no raindrops. The positive side is that of positive samadhi, where all these things exist. Whatever answer you may make is all right if you truly realize it. Shuzan Oshō once held up a shippei (a bamboo baton) before his disciples and said, "If you call it a shippei, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a shippei, you ignore the fact. Tell me, you monks, what will you call it?" (Gateless Gate #43).
"People live in a topsy-turvy world." People in general are led astray by their egocentric thinking.
"They lose themselves in delusion about themselves and only pursue objects." Our ordinary consciousness has acquired an egocentric way of thinking. It is always looking for what is most profitable for "me." The result is a distorted view of life and the world, which has led to endless disasters: deceiving, fighting, killing, wars, and so on. But still we go on pursuing the nonexistent profit, with calamitous results. You may ask what relation the raindrops have to man's appalling condition. The answer is that they have a close relationship, because this case is dealing with the fundamental question of cognition, and hence with the essential nature of our underlying mental attitude.
"What about you, Master?" The monk's question was inevitable, and Jingqing had intended to elicit it.
"I was on the brink of losing myself in such delusions about myself." Jingqing had first asked, "What is the noise outside?" He asked as any ordinary person might have done. The difference is this. A baby may be unaware of danger even if it crawls near the edge of a cliff. Jingqing was as close to danger as anyone else when he asked the question, but he did it with full knowledge. He was not deluded.
"To break through may be easy. But to express fully the bare substance is difficult." To say it in the dimension of absolute samadhi is rather easy, but to say it in positive samadhi — that is, having transcended the busiest activity of consciousness in ordinary life — is difficult. Jingqing is stressing the importance of transcending actual daily life while being busily engrossed in it. This is what Engo means by his sentence, "Seated amid the totality of form and sound, he rises above them."

In volume terms, twice as much concrete is used worldwide than all other construction materials combined. It has been used in extreme climates and on the most demanding engineering projects and as a result its physical properties are tried, trusted and well understood by engineers. In Ireland, ready mixed concrete is manufactured to "ISEN 206-1 :2002 Concrete – Part 1 : Specification, Performance, Production and Conformity" in fully computerized, automated batching plants, so that the end product is delivered to a high standard. When engineers build with concrete, they build with confidence. By varying the mix design, to include various additives, engineers can design-in an extensive range of physical properties to cater for almost any physical, structural or site requirement. Concrete is without doubt, the most flexible of all building material.
The design of the concrete mix will depend on the physical and structural requirements and on the specific conditions in which it is being laid. Ready Mixed concrete is available in a range of 'workabilities' to suit the different methods of placement, including pump mix. Concrete will also be specified to have a specific 'cube strength' which normally varies between 10N/mm' and 60N/mm'. Durability is a key design factor and this is designed relative to the 'exposure class' (i.e. for a corrosive or non-corrosive environment) and to the required 'working life' of the concrete.
The basic constituents of concrete are cement, aggregates, water and admixtures. These materials combine and harden when water is added, in a chemical reaction known as 'hydration'. The properties of the hardened concrete vary dramatically depending upon the relative amount and specific characteristics of the constituents. Good 'proportioning' of the constituent materials and a detailed knowledge of the physical properties of these materials is therefore critical to achieving an end product which is fit for the purpose for which it is designed.
Concrete consists of a 'cement water paste' and 'aggregates'. The cement water paste is the 'active ingredient' and the aggregate is the 'inactive' or inert ingredient. The structure of the concrete can be visualized as a mass of aggregate particles suspended in and separated by the cement. The 'cement water paste' consists of cement particles suspended in water. The greater the proportion of water to cement (i.e. the 'water cement ratio') the greater the distance between the suspended cement particles will be when the water evaporates in the process of hydration. The greater the distance between cement particles the more porous (permeable) the hardened concrete will be and therefore it is clear that the quantity and quality of the paste plays a key role in determining the properties of both the fresh and hardened concrete.
The 'consistence'(workability) and 'cohesiveness' of fresh concrete is determined by the lubricating effect of the paste, which in turn is governed by the quantity and quality of the latter.
The 'strength' of the hardened concrete will be limited by the strength of the paste, since mineral aggregates are practically always far stronger than the paste in which they are suspended.
Permeability (and consequently durability) will be governed by the quality and continuity of the paste, since mineral aggregates are generally practically impermeable.
The most significant factors, which must be taken into consideration in concrete proportioning are the water content, the cement content, the water cement ratio, the consistence of the fresh concrete and admixtures.
Admixtures are sometimes used in order to improve certain qualities in a concrete mix. The most frequently used are: air entraining agents, plasticizers, and retarders. Air Entraining Agents: Entrained air reduces the water requirement of concrete mixes and improves the consistence and cohesiveness of fresh concrete. It also improves the frost resistance and general durability of hardened concrete, and its use is therefore recommended for all concrete which will be exposed to destructive weathering agencies.
Plasticizers: The water content can be reduced while maintaining the same cement content and consistence; this results in a reduced water / cement ratio by about 10%. And therefore increased strength and improved durability.
Retarders: The length of time concrete remains workable depends on its temperature, consistence class, water / cement ratio and on the amount of retarder used. While the early strength of concrete is reduced by using a retarder which may affect formwork striking times, the 7 and 28 day strengths are not likely to be significantly affected.


, National Rental Lax Phone Number Conception – 7 Pricey Automobile Rental Mistakes to Avoid – AS AMERICANS hit the highway this summer time, many will drive rental cars in different parts of the country or the world. While rental vehicles will be handy, the related costs are often confusing. Here's a have a look at car rental errors that might value you cash – and tips on how to avoid them.
Alternatively, if you don't have your personal auto policy otherwise you're concerned about potential premium will increase should it is advisable to file a declare together with your auto policy, the automobile rental firm's insurance coverage could make sense.
3. Not shopping around – Automobile rental charges can range relying on the company or the amount of lead time, so it pays to shop round instead of taking a "one-and-done" method. Web sites corresponding to CarRentalSavers.com and AutoSlash.com mean you can comparability shop between rental corporations and look for coupons. AutoSlash will even observe your rental charges and rebook for you if the speed drops.
Should you're planning to drive lengthy distances, check for mileage caps. "Many rental corporations supply unlimited miles for the car rental period, permitting you to drive the automobile as much as you want with out going through additional fees," says Angie Hicks, founder of AngiesList.com. "However others may assess additional charges for surpassing a each day mileage most. When you rent a automobile, particularly for a interval various days, be sure you have unlimited miles or ample miles to cowl your travels." When selecting between a rental with limitless miles and a less expensive rental with a mileage cap, you could come out forward with the previous.
4. Prepaying for gas – Prepaying for fuel could seem convenient (who desires to plan extra time for a pit cease on the best way to an early morning flight?) however it means you'll pay for a full tank of gas, even for those who return with the tank half full. "It's better to refill yourself since you'll be able to normally find cheaper fuel costs at a close-by station anyway," says client and money-saving skilled Andrea Woroch. "However don't neglect to fill it up as a result of the cost to do so after drop-off can be a complete rip-off." You should definitely prime off the gas, as a result of some firms will cost you even if the fuel gauge is just a hair away from where it must be.
5. Paying further for GPS or a automobile seat – Car rental corporations are blissful to cost you extra for accessories like a GPS or baby automobile seat. However as Woroch points out, a GPS can cost an additional $10 per day or more. "Use your smartphone when possible, or print directions utilizing your lodge's free enterprise heart," she says. In case you have a conveyable GPS you can pack in your suitcase and use on your journey, bear in mind to remove it from the rental automobile in your return.
In keeping with Sarah Schlichter, senior editor of IndependentTraveler.com, many airlines will mean you can verify a automobile seat or use it on the airplane for free, so you don't need to pay further to make use of one from your rental automotive company.
6. Rushing by means of the inspection – Totally examine your rental automobile earlier than you drive away. Otherwise, you is likely to be charged for injury you didn't cause. "Most rental automobile fleets are maintained meticulously, but damages like scratches or dents within the body or spills, stains or tears within the interior can go unnoticed," Hicks says. "If you happen to see any wear, injury or defect during the inspection, be sure you immediately make the company conscious – or you may end up paying for it." By no means assume that a ding is simply too small to warrant noting or that the automotive company already is aware of about damage. If it's not listed on the car condition kind, communicate up.
7. Returning a automobile late. Most automobile rental companies charge every day charges primarily based on 24-hour intervals. "Whereas some may give a 29-minute grace period, it's possible you'll be charged late charges – or for a full extra day – in the event you return the car previous that time window," Schlichter says. Enable plenty of time on the day you're returning your car to avoid this extra price.
6 car rental ideas that may save you money and frustration – Renting a car could be expensive, nevertheless it's typically a obligatory part of a visit. Like airfare or resort rates, automobile rental rates will be relatively opaque, and it may be exhausting to figure out guidelines like timing and methods to economize.
Whereas determining and predicting car rental rates could be difficult, there are still just a few straightforward methods to save cash without having to make main adjustments to your travel plans.
1. Always examine rental companies — together with some less frequent ones.
Nearly everybody is aware of the big brands — Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and so forth — but there are a lot of less obvious brands which will supply better rates. Finances, Sixt, Thrifty, and Fox are just a few of the obtainable ones. To cover all your bases, you'll be able to book via an internet journey company website — like Hotwire or Priceline — to match just a few totally different rentals.
Hotwire presents steep reductions by "opaque reserving," a apply where you make and prepay a reserving without realizing exactly which company you're reserving with — it'll still be a significant agency, although.
While it might sound risky, it's really completely fine — you'll know precisely how much you're paying, the place you'll be selecting up and dropping off, what class of automobile it is (and generally the precise model), and any phrases. Unless you are lifeless set on a certain company, it is a nice approach to save a fortune.
Likelihood is superb that your home auto insurance policy covers rentals that you drive. Whereas the rental agent may try to stress you into purchasing extra coverage, this is typically pointless and redundant to your present coverage. Simply make sure to verify your coverage earlier than assuming that you just're coated.
In the event you do not personal a automobile, or if your own home coverage doesn't cover leases, you should still have coverage.
A variety of in style credit cards, including the Chase Sapphire Most well-liked and the Sapphire Reserve, come with free major auto rental insurance. "Major" signifies that it kicks in before some other coverage that you have. For those who get into an accident and have primary protection separate from your property policy, meaning the accident will not have to be reported to your personal insurance, so you won't see a charge spike.
In order to activate the insurance that comes with a bank card, you may have to use that card to pay for the rental, and decline the overall rental insurance, also known as a "collision damage waiver (CDW)" or "loss injury waiver (LDW)" supplied by the rental company. If you don't have your individual automotive insurance coverage, you should still wish to think about including liability insurance coverage.
This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, however typically, rental rates at airports are dearer than rates a bit bit further away. Try in search of charges from pick-up spots nearer to your lodge, and even in the city middle.
Be sure that to always examine those to rates from airport agencies, though — sometimes, the value distinction will be negligible, or the airport may even be cheaper. Additionally do not forget that you'll need to arrange transportation to the rental agency, whether or not you'll be able to take a lodge shuttle, or it's a must to pay for mass transit or a taxi into the city.
GPS navigation. Satellite radio. Speaker phone. Automobile rental agencies would possibly offer these features when you pick up your automotive, however beware — all of them come with additional charges that may add up shortly. Nowadays, there is no have to pay further when you could have a smartphone that may do all of that and more.
6. Check weekly rates — even for those who only need the automotive for a number of days.
It might appear paradoxical, but it can be cheaper to rent a car for longer.That is as a result of the bulk of people that rent a car for simply a couple of days at a time are business vacationers, who are much less cost-conscious as a result of their offices are paying or the trip is last minute and urgent. Conversely, many week-long renters are attempting to save lots of, since they are usually leisure travelers. Because of that, the weekly fee is commonly cheaper than the rate for simply three or 4 days.

Alimony Can Be Changed After Divorce—Here's How

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a husband's or wife's court-ordered provision for a spouse after separation or divorce. Alimony is paid by the "supporting spouse" to the "dependent spouse." The general rule is that a spouse is dependent when he or she makes less money than the other spouse. But what if circumstances change drastically? In most states, alimony can be changed after divorce.
In Some Situations Alimony Can Be Modified
In most states, a substantial change in need or a change in the ability to pay may be grounds for a post-judgment modification of spousal support/alimony. Check your state's divorce laws and speak with an attorney if you think you are eligible for modification of spousal support/alimony that you pay or receive. You may be able to lower what you pay, increase what you receive or have payments terminated all together.
Common Reasons Alimony Can Be Modified
1. Agreement to Modify Spousal Support/Alimony:
Former spouses may come to an agreement with each other to modify the terms of the support agreement. This can be done without the court's approval, but if a spouse later refuses to follow the agreement, there will be problems. Coming to an agreement on such issues without the court's approval means not being able to use the court to enforce the new agreement. Being able to work out an agreement with your former spouse is commendable, but make sure to protect yourself by having it signed by a judge.
2. Cost of Living Adjustment (Cola) Clause:
A cost of living adjustment clause in your original divorce decree means that spousal support/alimony payments will increase at a rate equal to the annual cost of living. Including a COLA clause in your original decree will keep down the need to have to modify the spousal support/alimony.
3. Escalator Clause:
An escalator clause can be included in an original divorce decree to insure that the recipient of spousal support/alimony receives an automatic share of any increase in the payor's earnings. For instance, if your ex-spouse is a member of the armed forces and receives a yearly cost of living raise, you would automatically receive a pre-determined portion of that raise.
4. Change of Circumstance:
If a spouse receiving alimony has a substantial increase in income, the payor can request a downward modification of support based on the change of circumstance. The spouse receiving support may request an increase in support if his/her ex-spouse has a substantial increase in income. An increase in income is not the only reason one can modify support due to changed circumstances. Below are examples of a change of circumstance.
Change in Law: State laws pertaining to support change periodically. When a divorce law changes, this can constitute the change of circumstance that is needed to file for modification of support.
Cohabitation: Support may be reduced or terminated if an ex-spouse cohabitates with another person. If a person is living intimately with a partner, they are cohabitating. If the recipient of support feels a decrease in support is unfair, it is his/her obligation to prove there is a need for the support.
Cost of Living Increase: When inflation reduces the value of support payments, the recipient may request a modification based on an increased cost of living as a changed circumstance and request an increase. A request can also be made when the payor of alimony has a substantial increase in income.
Decreased Need for Support: When a recipient's need for support decreases or ceases, the court may reduce or terminate support at the payor's request. This can happen when the recipient gets a job with a higher salary, remarries, or begins to cohabitate with another person.
Disability: If a payor of alimony becomes unable to support himself/herself due to a physical or mental condition, support may be modified. If the recipient becomes disabled, he/she can request a modification to increase support. If the payor becomes disabled, he/she can request a modification to decrease support.
Financial Emergency: A financial emergency happens, for instance when a spouse has to pay large medical bills or has to pay out money due to some other unexpected emergency. In such cases, either spouse may request for a decrease or increase in the amount of support paid or received.
New Support Obligation: If an ex-spouse paying support remarries and has a child, the court may reduce the amount of support paid since it would constitute a hardship to pay current support and meet his/her new obligations. This does not apply to an ex-spouse who marries and voluntarily takes on the responsibility of supporting stepchildren.
