One way protest works is by provoking overreaction from opponents. Remember, Colin Kaepernick sat out the national anthem for three days before anyone noticed. It was the reaction from people who took offense that drew attention to the quarterback and–to a somewhat lesser extent–his concerns. The tempest surrounding the anthem protest drew others in, including people who emphatically supported his right to protest more than the justice or wisdom of his approach. The Seattle Seahawks are apparently planning a team action during the anthem of their next game, emphasizing their unity. Three women on West Virginia Tech's volleyball team took a knee during the pre-game anthem, in support of Kaepernick's protest.
And high school athletes scattered across the country are beginning to see new opportunities in the anthem as well. If this leads to discussions of police violence in American high schools and stadiums–or even the Bill of Rights, it's due not only to Colin Kaepernick, but also the people who would shut him down.
Now Republicans in the House of Representatives have to figure out when reacting will be overreacting. Frustrated Democrats literally took to the House floor in J une of this year, staging a sit-in to call for votes on a series of gun control measures. Incensed, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan closed the session. The sit-in violated both the informal norms and the rules of the House, which allow the majority to dominate and marginalize the minority.
Republican representatives are still angry, and they want to punish the Democrats for their insolence. Punishment here is less likely to involve police dogs than a nasty resolution of disapproval. The question: is it worth it? Any punishment will recall–if not reopen–a debate about gun control on which the Democratic position enjoys more popular support. It will put the well-liked and collegial Speaker Ryan in direct confrontation with Rep. John Lewis, always (and accurately) described as an iconic hero of the civil rights movement. It's ground Democrats would like to defend in the run-up to an election.
The Democrats are daring the Republican leadership not to do the smart thing–and look away. I'd bet the Republicans take the dare.

Indian coalition partner pulls ministers from Modi's government
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian political party pulled its two ministers out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Thursday in a dispute over concessions to lure investors to their southern state.
Civil Aviation Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju and junior Science and Technology Minister Y.S.Chowdary, both of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), resigned after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley declined to give "special category" status to Andhra Pradesh.
"We resigned because our home-state has been denied a special status," Raju told reporters in New Delhi after submitting his resignation.
The TDP has not withdrawn support from the ruling coalition, Raju said, but the resignations may weaken the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), ahead of general assembly elections in 2019.
In January, another regional ally, Shiv Sena, based in the western state of Maharastra, said it would run separately from the BJP in next year's vote, the first major political group to break from the alliance since Modi became prime minister in 2014.
The resignation of aviation minister Raju may also hamper the sale of national carrier Air India. The government has said it would invite initial bids in the coming weeks.
The TDP, which governs Andhra Pradesh, said the federal assistance promised to the state was not enough.
Another coalition partner, the Janata Dal United, based in the east, has revived its own demand for special status for the state of Bihar.
Federal authorities formerly gave special status chiefly to states whose rugged terrain made it difficult for them to compete with other states in attracting investment.
Despite problems with its regional allies, Modi's party has shown resilience, winning state polls across India.
A BJP leader said the government was stable and the ministerial vacancies would be filled soon.
But political analysts say Modi will have to improve his ties with regional parties ahead of next year's polls to prevent the opposition from cementing new alliances to increase its presence in parliament.

Today I am excited to bring you my very first Bellicon 15 minute beginner rebounding workout! I have always loved rebounding because of all the many health benefits. I first learned about the detoxing benefits rebounding has when I studied raw foods at the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta. Then, when I became involved in fitness I learned more about the amazing benefits of rebounding for your body and muscles. I was hooked.
The Bellicon rebounder has been on my fitness "wish list" for a very long time. I just wish I had not waited this long to purchase one. I have used other rebounders in the past but they do not compare to the quality of the Bellicon rebounder. This rebounder uses bungees instead of springs which makes a huge difference. There is virtually no noise when you rebound and it is very easy on your knees, back and joints. The rebounder is absorbing all the shock when you bounce.
Rebounding is the most fun you'll ever have getting in shape, losing weight, improving your health, increasing your stamina, and boosting your immune system. It exercises every one of the 638 muscles in your body while being low-impact, low-stress, and revitalizing to your entire system. And it's actually fun, so instead of avoiding your workouts, you'll be looking forward to them.
This is a great workout whether you are a beginner or have rebounded for a long time. We start with a nice stretching warm-up and breathing exercises. Then I will explain some of the basic bounces such as the closed chain bounce. Then we will get your cardio up and just when you think I am finished I throw in a little resistance band work. Get ready to workout and fall in love with rebounding.
No more counting calories or points or whatever you're used to counting. BTW my fat loss program includes chocolate and wine… and if that makes me a hero…so be it. The Hot and Healthy Body Academy has all the tools you need to get you looking and feeling great for life.
I really enjoyed your rebounder (Bellicon) workout vid, but I am wondering if you have any workout vids on the Bosu?
bands for use with bellicon in your beginner workout?

Professor explores the historical effects of 'Fat' stereotyping
LAWRENCE — Disgust or contempt.
Those are the responses the word "fat" elicits.
"Disgust is an emotion that's not about vision. It's about touch, the fear of contact," said Christopher Forth, a University of Kansas professor of history and Dean's Professor of Humanities.
"If it's not about aesthetics, why does fat provoke this sense of, 'I can be contaminated by this?'"
That's one of the questions addressed in Forth's upcoming work, "Fat: A Cultural History of the Stuff of Life" (Reaktion Books, 2019). The publication has already garnered national interest after The Atlantic published a 2,000-word excerpt in May taken from the chapter "Grease and Grace: The Disenchantment of Fat?"
It included Forth's anecdote involving an 18th-century Italian countess named Cornelia di Bandi who suddenly burst into flames.
He wrote, "Only her arms and legs remained intact. After examining what was left of her body, a local physician concluded, in a report cited years later, that the conflagration 'was caused in her entrails' by the variety of combustible materials to be found there, including alcohol and fat, 'an oily liquid … of an easily combustible nature.'"
Forth said, "I have two favorite chapters, and they're both gross."
In addition to the aforementioned "Grease and Grace," he favors one titled "The Fat of the Land" because of his fascination with its agricultural context.
"I had heard the phrase 'living off the fat of the land,' which I thought was a metaphor. It's not. That phrase means the soil is literally sticky, unctuous, swelling. When people used to call soil fat, they meant it," he said.
Overall, the professor describes the book as "a dramatic reinterpretation of fat and the reasons for the stereotypes about it."
Forth spent 11 years researching and writing "Fat." He traveled to Australia, the U.K. and many regions of the U.S. while investigating the subject.
The 352-page book delves into the history of fat, tracing the cultural, philosophical, religious and even racial connections. What once was considered healthy and desirable slowly morphed into the modern perception. He said this attitude can first be attributed to the Greeks, who originally celebrated then began to distrust less-than-Adonis-like physiques.
But the tipping point came in the late 18th century.
"Fat became a kind of pollutant that had to be excreted in order to purify the body," Forth said.
"You start to see fat observed in non-Western peoples — particularly Africa, India and China — and this becomes a problem of not just connecting it with dirt but of nonwhiteness. It was unseemly, filthy and uncivilized."
Forth asserts contemporary reactions by the medical community reinforced this negative outlook.
"Physicians will try to address the symptoms being manifested with immediate reference to a person's weight — the idea that losing weight will fix this or that problem, which it won't. The weight in many cases is incidental to the actual problem. So the health care industry is caught up in their own sense of disgust and misunderstanding about those who are overweight," he said.
As someone who tries to avoid using the word "obesity" because of its pejorative connotation, Forth said individuals can simply look at the political news of the day to see how conflicted Americans are when it comes to the concept of fat.
Take President Donald Trump, for instance.
"You have a lot of people who very rightly condemned him for his overt, nasty fat-shaming. But after the election, it was common to call out Trump on his own fat, but also to attribute fatness to his supporters — then go the extra mile and suggest fat is connected to foolishness or stupidity. Then they connect that to the image of domesticated animals who follow and do what they're told," Forth said.
"So the fat-shaming of women that many Hillary Clinton supporters rightly condemned, they seem very happy to fat-shame on different grounds when it seems OK."
This is the fourth book written solely by Forth, who's been at KU since 2007. Past work includes "Zarathustra in Paris: The Nietzsche Vogue in France, 1891-1918," "The Dreyfus Affair and the Crisis of French Manhood" and "Masculinity in the Modern West: Gender, Civilization and the Body."
Forth considers his expertise to be the history of the body, including sexuality, senses and emotions.
As for the ultimate influence of "Fat: A Cultural History of the Stuff of Life," Forth said, "I'd like it to expand the ways we think about how and why fat stereotyping works."

Before I was even diagnosed with any ailment, I had what I now know as a symptom of multiple sclerosis, and had resolved it all through metaphysical healing.
In 2003, I had started walking less and started avoiding going for regular walks in the morning as the speed of the friends whom I usually met at that time was something I could not cope with. Climbing stairs that was a regular routine earlier was something I stopped doing. In this scenario, what I did start feeling was a tremendous amount of stress on wondering what would happen next.
At around the same time, I accompanied my husband who had gone for a routine eye test. As I too was getting some headaches once in way, I thought, I too would get my eyes tested by the same ophthalmologist. What was detected was awful. I couldn't see at all from one eye. It was a clear vision problem. The ophthalmologist, however, after analyzing all the factors, he said it was not a clear case where he could recommend a glass but one that would require more analysis. 'In other countries people conduct some laser-based surgeries for this kind of a problem,' he said, but recommended that he would take an appropriate decision after careful analysis, keeping safety in mind as it was a delicate surgery. He advised me to take some rest. At that time, I was employed as a software professional, and I strongly felt I should take a break. I requested my maternal aunt, Radhika Sridharan, to come and stay with me for a few days to handle the home front.
I took leave from the office I worked in then and regularly went for meditation sessions with my late guru, Promila Gurtu who had herself healed from her vision issues through chakra meditation. In a sense, she was the ideal person for me at that time.
She had told us how vision or eye sight itself is a beautiful metaphor for all of us. She asked us to ponder and think about why our eyes called the windows to our souls, why we speak of the way that we "see" the world, why we say, "I see", in order to communicate that we understand?
Most of all, she asked us to think about the relationship between our vision, our eyesight, and our way of being.
She told us that the natural state of our vision is clear, and returning to clarity is related to returning to balance, and really being ourselves.
With determination, and a willingness to change perceptions and their accompanying realities, anyone can transform his or her view of the world, both literally and figuratively, and return to a natural state of clarity of vision.
This obviously does not mean just physical wellness but a vision that is complete and clear. It is accepting ourselves and everyone and every happening around us as it is. In a sense, it is leading a life with what is called Sakshi Bhava (observing happenings just as a witness) in Sanskrit and not getting stressed about anything at all, whether in personal life or anything at all.
Naturally, a person including me, with any kind of difficulty is bound to be stressed and/or depressed. This is not rocket science but common sense. Since there was no option but metaphysics, I did try my best to heal using the metaphysical approach I had learnt.
My vision healed completely through this approach and I do recommend it to all, whether or not they have a health challenge.
My journey of healing completely through a mish mash of therapies, the primary one of which is acupuncture has now been chronicled.

The experience of studying abroad has already been so incredibly unbelievably fantastic and I've only been here a week! I'm already a stronger, braver, wiser woman and I hope to continue to develop these traits during my time in Thessaloniki.
ACT, the study abroad program I'm attending, provides a shuttle to the school for my morning classes, however the times it runs back to the apartment are inconvenient. However, a few of my new friends and I went to the bus kiosk early Monday morning; later, two of us were able to find our way back to the apartment building.
The public bus system in Thessaloniki is hectic to say the least! First of all, nothing is in English, and add to that the fact that you're cramming a ton of people into a tiny space and you've got a recipe for stress and disaster!
Fortunately, Alec and myself were able to hike across campus, hop on a bus right outside of the school, hop off at a stop several blocks away, and then run across a busy street to transfer to another bus before riding it all the way to a familiar neighborhood. Or, I should say, a street that I'm familiar with.
There's a running joke that if Alec thinks we're walking in the right direction we should probably turn around – it's hysterical because it's so true!
The entire process took less than thirty minutes. Alec and I were very lucky not to have to wait for either bus but to also not miss them by a few seconds either! I hope to have the same luck every day.
So Monday afternoon was my first alone time since arriving in Thessaloniki. I'm a natural extrovert, so alone time isn't something I need very often … or ever really. But alone time did allow me to sit down and write this post about my first day of classes, so I should try to find alone time at least once a week for my blog!
I also did laundry for the first time since arriving in Greece. I was down to my last pair of clean pants and only had one more pair of socks before I would have been hand washing my clothes in the sink.
The washing machine at my apartment building was fairly easy to figure out, however, we don't have a dryer. Meaning that all of my clothes go out onto the balcony to air dry. This works best when the sun shines onto said balcony, a phenomenon that doesn't happen for a very long stretch of the day on my particular balcony.
I'll get used to it and by the end of the semester; I'm sure I'll return to America and have to re-learn how to use a dryer!
The class only meets once a week, and this week we met on the college campus. However, for most of the rest of the semester we'll meet at the marina, which is at short bus ride from the apartment.
Not only will I learn how to sail a sea boat, I can also become certified if I pass a test at the end of the semester!
Our class will also participate in a sailing weekend trip in which my classmates and I will sail ourselves around the Mediterranean! To say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement.
I can't wait for the rest of the semester and to the new experiences that will be presented to me throughout my time in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Coming up Next: My weekend getaway in the city of Chanina on the island of Crete with some of my new besties! PS: We're celebrating Valentine's Day secret Santa style!

This book review originally appeared in The Treasure: Australia's Sufi Magazine, no. 40 (2017), pp. 38 – 42.
Within Guenon's body of work, East and West occupies an interesting position. It is the fourth book that he published and can be seen to be a direct result of Guenon's preceding literary output while beginning one of his central themes that is restated throughout his later works. Guenon's first work, published in 1921, was Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines and, while couched in the terminology and framework of Hinduism, outlines the requirements of and principles underpinning an authentic tradition. Using Hinduism as his case study, Guenon highlighted the necessity of orthodoxy for its integration of exoterism and esoterism, which, combined, are crucial for an authentic tradition. His second work, also published in 1921, was Theosophy: History of a Pseudo-Religion. This exposé of the Theosophical Society functions as a foundation for the critique of anti-traditional and pseudo-traditional movements and brings to the foreground the necessity of the metaphysical principles, common across the worlds traditions, for the retention of the salvific guarantee which anti and pseudo traditional movements lack. In 1923 Guenon published The Spiritist Fallacy. This work detailed some of the prevalent pseudo-spiritual beliefs, how they have gained currency within society, and how these beliefs displace, and even corrupt, traditional frameworks. East and West can be seen to be a culmination and extension of the themes of these three works, as applied more generally to modern Eurocentric societies.
East and West follows on from the preceding works by highlighting how modern societies have moved away from the traditional principles upon which they were initially founded. This work details how many of these traditional principles have been inverted to produce the idea of civilization, underpinned by anti-traditional principles and giving rise to pseudo-traditional movements. The strength of conviction in these anti-traditional principles has, according to Guenon, divorced the modern human from their metaphysical underpinnings and created an increased difficultly, to the point of being almost impossible, of reconnecting to an authentic tradition. East and West draws out these anti-traditional principles, showing how they are incongruent with the developmental potentialities inherent within each individual and stunting those within Eurocentric societies. East and West is also the first of Guenon's works that detail his critique of the modern world, with later titles including The Crisis of the Modern World and The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times.
East and West is divided into two sections, "Western Illusions" and "How the Differences Might be Bridged," and these broadly cover the central themes of this work. Guenon orients the reader by bringing into focus his position from the very first page. He starts with the strongly held assumption that the East and the West are fundamentally different, as typified by the Kipling quote "East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet," and proceeds to challenge this notion from the position of a "spiritual order." Guenon's view is that the perceived unbridgeable gulf arises as a result of the modern, Western idea of civilization. This relatively new idea of civilization, which Guenon traces to the Renaissance, is founded on a few key principles which supposedly give those within a civilization the self-proclaimed authority to define and judge all other peoples and then act upon them in accordance with this judgement. Three of the central principles that, according to Guenon, give rise to the idea of civilization are specific definitions of progress, science, and life. This section is not intended to cover all of Guenon's views detailed in East and West, rather it will attempt to highlight some of his key views and their relation to his central position.
Progress, as a foundational principle of the idea of civilization, is perhaps one of the most peculiar and damaging ideas that Guenon outlines within East and West. As detailed by Guenon, and as evermore apparent within society today, progress is understood as the pursuit of unrestrained growth. Progress as unrestrained growth is peculiar in that it works against the natural order by overlooking the necessary binary inherent in all change. Change, as opposed to progress, acknowledges that growth and decay, or expansion and contraction, are two sides of the same coin for as one thing increases others decrease in equal proportion. Progress, as opposed to change, is dangerous in that its monolithic pursuit of material gains, such as land, money, and possessions, dispossesses others, with self-appointed justification, of the very things that it subsumes within is pursuit of unrestrained growth and increase. We may take as an analogy the growth of a tree, for while its progress provides benefits, such as shade, it does so at the expense of the other plants around and underneath it as it blocks their access to the sun and minimizes their access to water supplies. For Guenon, Western civilization, through its myopic and unbalanced uptake of progress, saps the resources of other societies for its own unrestrained growth and believes this to be justified because these societies do not participate in these goals. Progress is considered anti-traditional in that it attempts to work against the consistency within the natural order.
Science, as practiced within Western civilization, is restrained to being a handmaiden to progress. In this setting, science, in aiding and furthering progress, has an implicit anti-traditional impact. Guenon writes that "the anti-traditional spirit showed itself at one by proclaiming of 'free inquiry', or in other words, the absence in the doctrinal order of any principle higher than individual opinions." Under the guise of freeing thought, in as far as it is removed from any doctrinal standpoint, science aims to increase progress without considering any costs other than those that serve the idea of civilization. As individual opinions change over time, as opposed to traditional principles, the result is, in Guenon's view, "intellectual anarchy" devoid of any consistency. In our analogy, science has the ability to produce fertilizer to aid in the further growth of a tree while also producing poisons for that which is defined as weeds that are thought to hinder the tree's progress, without consideration for the functions that the surrounding plants fill. This is not to suggest that Guenon is against science per se, he acknowledges that there are "certain branches of scientific knowledge [that] have a traditional basis" which have an application greater than mere progress because they are adhere to traditional principles.
Like progress, life, from the perspective of the idea of civilization, involves the constant appearance of movement. From this perspective of the West, the East appears dead due to "their fixity and stability," which is interpreted as "a denial of progress." From the perspective of traditional principles, which Guenon locates within Eastern societies, life, as "the need for outward activity," comes across as "no more than fruitless agitation." Life, understood in this way, makes explicit the primarily materialistic pursuit implicit in both progress and science. As long as the tree continues to produce fruit, the health of the tree and the other plants around it are not given consideration. For Guenon, the West, in its promotion of civilization and pursuit of the purely material, is blind to the traditional, metaphysical principles that govern the East. This, in turn, allows the West to feel justified to exploit the East because, according to Guenon's view, the East fails to capitalize on those resources necessary for developing and maintaining the idea of civilization. The anti-traditional aspect of this understanding of life lies in its limiting of existence to the merely materialistic elements.
Guenon's critique of the West hits directly at many of its self-proclaimed virtues and may appear harsh to those that uphold them. Yet, rather than falling into a sort of sentimentality of the bygone principles, Guenon does show that he holds hope for the West. He does this by suggesting "how the differences might be bridged."In bridging the differences, Guenon can be seen to be advocating for a deep and sustainable change within the West. For this there is much change needed and cannot be merely superficial. For this Guenon states that mere intellectuality is not enough as most academics "do not wish to be anything but scholars" as they carry and promote their own pretension by deeming "themselves so intelligent that they understand these ideas much better than do the people who elaborated them." To approach a point wherein mutual understanding is possible, it becomes necessary to remove the self-proclaimed authority which the West gives itself and then stands in judgment of others. This, by itself, is no small feat, for the implied arrogance within the idea of civilization is so deeply entrenched that shifting it would already herald the beginning of a paradigm change.
Mutuality, as opposed to superiority, requires understanding and agreement. A willingness to understand requires openness to the other and understanding requires a degree of accepting the other in its own terms. Agreement, especially with regard to the level of change advocated for by Guenon, is needed as such a fundamental level if any sort of symbiotic relationship is to occur. For this, Guenon sees it necessary to return and examine principles. Guenon's view is that "modern civilization suffers from a lack of principles, and it suffers from it in every domain" because what it takes as principles "are really just the opposite, being conclusions and the results of induction, even when they are not mere hypotheses." For Guenon principles have a specific meaning, as "the term should be reserved for metaphysical principles" being that which proceeds from "the transcendent Source and Origin of all things, the unchanging and unchangeable First Cause of everything." East and West arise out of the same source and it is the West's perceived separation from these metaphysical principles that gives rise to the "intellectual anarchy" of science. By approaching the East with the intention of understanding, the West makes possible the ability of reconnecting itself to a paradigm consistent with its origins.
While waiting for the West to return to its own traditions, there is perhaps no other means of preparing for this return and recovering what is essential to it than to go by analogy with the traditional forms that still exist today, and that, as such, can be studied directly.
the West, through understanding the Eastern civilizations, would come nearer to being brought back into the traditional paths which it so rashly and foolishly broke away from, while, on the other hand, the return to this tradition would bring about of itself an effective re-establishment of relations with the East.
Much progress has been made in the almost 100 years since the initial publication of East and West. Nations are no longer defined by a single nationality, with most countries populated by people from across the globe, which has blurred the cultural divides. Boarders, and the definitional terms that defined them such as "East" and "West," have much less meaning for typifying a people than they once did. What is the validity of a work such as East and West when so much change has occurred since its initial publication? While much could be written in answering this question, for the sake of brevity only three points will be touched on.
East and West, like much of Guenon's works, examines principles. Within this work there is a distinction between societies that are based on traditional, metaphysical principles, typified as being "East," and the idea of civilization that is based free and materialistic principles, typified as being "West." Despite the unprecedented progress seen throughout the 20th century and the Westernization of the East, the validity of Guenon's work is retained due to his focus on principles. Some of the examples that Guenon raises regarding the destruction of traditional principles within the West have, over the course of time, become almost caricatures of themselves, following its own principles to absurd ends. The pursuit reason for the sake of reason, to exclude both the irrational and the supra-rational, is a case in point where arguments have become irrationally rational, though to detail this would take us too far afield. The principles, as highlighted by Guenon, are still apparent because the West continues to push the same paradigm in pursuing the idea of civilization. As long as the ethos of civilization is maintained, then works such as East and West will have currency. Much change will need to occur before East and West becomes a relic of the past.
While retaining its essential validity, East and West does show some signs of becoming dated. The view that "East is East, and West is West" has lost much in terms of both geographical and worldview differences. The advent of the global village has meant that countries are much more interconnected than they once were and this has resulted in a greater level of "outward activity"  and a significant shift away from the adherence to traditional principles. Guenon's West has maintained the trajectory that he documented, going further in the direction detailed in East and West, and Guenon's East has looked to mimic the progress of its counterpart, weakening its traditional structures. Yet, despite the dissolution of the East and the West as defining cultural categories, there has been an interesting shift. The globally homogenizating concept of civilization has resulted in a greater personal individuation such that, while cultural groupings such as "East" and "West" lose their value, there is an increased currency for describing individuals as "Eastern" or "Western" in their outlooks irrespective of geographical location. Guenon's categories of "East" and "West" can retain their value if there is a shift in use away from describing societies towards individuals, such that we may talk of Westernized Easterners and Easternized Westerners. In the past 100 years, as Guenon's "East" modernizes, there has been an increase in elements of Guenon's "West" that have been increasingly searching for traditional principles.
In East and West Guenon suggests that the solution for the West is something more akin to Hinduism than to any other Eastern doctrine. It is understandable given the prevalence of the class system amongst the people of Europe and its correspondence with that of the caste system of Hinduism. Guenon suggests that an Islamic civilization, despite being the "nearest to being like what a traditional Western civilization would be like," would not be suitable because of the fear and hatred that it arouses. While such feelings would undermine the purposes of pursuing such an endeavor, Guenon's acknowledgement that "this state of mind is only due to a lack of understanding" both provides the key to the solution and explains the rapid expansion of Islam in the West. With Islam foregrounded within much of the current media coverage, those Easternized Westerners are questioning their understanding of this traditional doctrine and, as a result of their knowledge seeking, are embracing this teaching. This has lessened the need for a European Hinduism and has allowed for traditional Eastern principles to become established in the West through those arriving at an understanding of Islam. While those attempting to inherit Guenon's message write about reestablishing the traditional initiatic principles of Christianity or the establishment of a Masonic lodge that establishes traditional principles within the West, it is worth noting that Guenon chose Islam as the religious form that allowed him to enliven the traditional principles within himself, those very principles that he was attempting to enliven within the West.
East and West remains an important book. For those wanting to understand the works of Rene Guenon, it is indispensible in that it ties together many of the dominant themes within his works while also provides a foundation for his further works of critique on the modern world. For those wanting to understand the current cultural paradigm, it is valuable in that the work clearly documents the elements that have combined to produce an epistemic shift. For those wanting to realign the current cultural paradigm, it details the causes the modern age and outlines the cure for returning to a sustainable society in line with traditional principles. With the significant changes that have occurred since its initial publication, it is understandable that some of the ideas and terminology presented within East and West will need to be reassessed in light of these changes. Nevertheless, the central theme of this work remains current as Guenon comes to his readers from the perspective of immutable principles.
 A facsimile of all issues of La Gnose has been published in one volume by Editions De L'Homme Libre.
 For more on the life of Guenon see Robin Waterfield, Rene Guenon and the Future of the West (Great Britain: Crucible, 1987) and Paul Chacornac, The Simple Life of Rene Guenon, trans. Cecil Bethell (Hillsdale: Sophia Perennis, 2001).

 As an aside, it is interesting to note that one of the reasons that Nietzsche championed the pre-Platonic Greeks was for what he saw as their understanding of the mutually inclusive nature and harmony between growth and decay.
 Guenon, East and West, 28.
 This too can be found in most modern economic theories in that natural resources are considered free and, according to a cost/benefit analysis, the only cost considered is that of extracting them through production.
 An example of this can be seen in modern fertilisers which contain the bare minimum for the production of food, despite lacking many essential nutrients required for the holistic benefit of the plant. The result of this can be seen in increased crop yields that are a lower quality food for consumption.

Milton George Urner (July 29, 1839 – February 9, 1926) was a U.S. Congressman from the sixth district of Maryland, serving two terms from 1879 until 1883.

Life
Born in the Liberty district of Frederick County, Maryland, Urner was educated in the common schools.  He also attended the Freeland Seminary of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Lycoming College of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  He engaged in teaching in his native county from 1859–1862, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1863.  He commenced practice in Frederick, Maryland, and served as State's attorney for Frederick County from 1871 to 1875.

In 1878, Urner was elected as a Republican to the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Congresses (serving from March 4, 1879 to March 3, 1883).  While in Congress, Urner served as the chairman of the Committee on Accounts (Forty-seventh Congress).  He was not a candidate for renomination in 1882, and resumed the practice of his profession in Frederick.  He became local attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. in 1887, and served as a member of the Maryland State Senate from 1888 until 1890.  He was also appointed naval officer at the port of Baltimore by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890.

Urner engaged in banking and other business enterprises later in life, and became a trustee of several educational institutions.  He died in Frederick in 1926, and is interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Family
His grandson, Joseph Urner (January 16, 1898 – 1987), was an American sculptor, painter and etcher who created the Alabama State Memorial at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

When Kevin Young's book Ardency: A Chronicle of the Amistad Rebels was published, aspects of the writing, at first glance, were unrecognizable to me. Many of the poems featured lines with more than 5 to 6 words long. That's a rarity for Young, whose books usually feature lines with a short amount of words.
That's how Young rolls. Short and to the point.
In Ardency, he was emulating letters written by those captives turned rebels on the Amistad, which is why he chose to produce poems that looked less like the short lines of verse that had become his signature. And one reason those lines have become his signature is based on the large number of big books that Young has authored over the years.
Although volumes of poetry by his peers tend to average 90 pages, Young's books are often much longer. His volume jelly roll (2003) contains 208 pages; To Repel Ghosts: The Remix (2005) is 320 pages; Black Maria (2005) is 256 pages; For the Confederate Dead (2007) is 176 pages; Dear Darkness (2008) is 216 pages; and Ardency (2011) is 272 pages.
Young's big books with short lines make for a distinct contrast, and consequently, that contrast characterizes his signature style.


YCharts Review - Do Retail Traders Need Institional-Level Charts & Data?
YCharts is not your average charting and analysis platform. YCharts focuses on a stock's fundamentals using difficult metrics while incorporating a user friendly format. Read more to learn about YCharts and discover if this is what your trading has been missing.
YCharts is a comprehensive charting and analysis platform that focuses in on a stock's fundamentals more than technical analysis, in contrast to many other charting platforms. The service offers hard-to-calculate metrics in an easy to navigate format, filling in the gap in finding advanced financial data beyond the basic metrics that are available in free online platforms. YCharts is targeted at both individual investors and financial managers, and the platform offers extensive analyst research into stocks in order to provide value-driven traders with the most information possible while also highlighting potentially winning stocks.
YCharts offers two pricing tiers: Standard and Professional.
The Standard plan is billed at $200 per month and is recommended primarily for individual investors. This plan includes all of YCharts charting, watchlist, and scanner features, as well as most of the tools available on the platform. Notably, the Standard plan lacks the advanced timeseries analysis that allows investors to visualize how a company's fundamentals have changed over time, as well as the Excel add-on that allows you to apply this timeseries analysis in Excel. There is also a data export limit of 50 megabytes per month, although most retail traders will have difficulty coming up against this limit.
The Professional plan is billed at $400 per month and is recommended for financial professional and money managers, including hedge fund managers, investment advisors, and research analysts. However, it can also be useful for individual traders who want the time series analysis capabilities, as well as the ability to run financial models for a stock and to quickly compare multiple stocks based on screener results. The Professional plan also has an increased data export limit of 500 megabytes per month.
Note that YCharts offers a seven-day free trial of the Professional plan.
As the name suggests, charts are at the heart of YChart's platform. That said, YCharts isn't your typical charting platform and there are many differentiations between this service and services like TradingView, TC2000, and StockCharts.com.
There are two types of charts available in YCharts – fundamental charts and technical charts.
Fundamental charts are extremely useful for visualizing the change in a stock's fundamentals over time and for comparing two or more companies in the same industry. The list of fundamental data types that can be plotted is quite exhaustive, and includes revenue and profit metrics, returns over multiple time periods, and information about various asset types. Fundamentals can be searched and added to the graph, or there is a browser window to see all available fundamental data types. In addition, fundamental charts can be viewed on timescales ranging from one day to 10 years. This is one of the most unique features within the YCharts platform. The ability to be able to plot fundamental data, such as a company's revenue and EPS, on a chart is an incredibly valuable analysis tool.
Technical charts are more similar to the candlestick charts commonly used to conduct technical analysis. The flexibility of these charts is limited as they are intended primarily for long-term technical analyses. Thus, the bars can only be toggled between candlestick and line patterns. A variety of technical indicators are available, both via search and via a browser window as for fundamental data types on fundamental charts. However, the selection of technical indicators is somewhat limited to popular indicators, especially compared to charting software that is specifically designed for technical analysis.
The most useful aspect of YCharts for many investors is the extensive data that it provides, which can be found by clicking on any stock ticker or searching for a stock. The quote landing page shows a rough chart, analyst recommendations, key stats related to income and performance, and news and upcoming stock events like dividends and earnings reports.
The Key Stats and Financials tabs allow you to dig into the data underlying the stock, with options to export data for additional analyses in Excel or other programs. The Key Stats page is essentially an organized list of tables showing statistics related to price performance, company income and losses, EPS and PE estimates, and other fundamental data that is useful for investors to evaluate a company's value. It is also simple to compare these statistics across other companies within the same industry. The financials page is a digitized version of the company's income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow, organized for easy export and re-analysis.
One of the most helpful features of YCharts, especially for individual investors who do not have a team of analysts, is the rating that YCharts gives to every stock based on its fundamental data. The YRating takes into account earnings yield, EPS and revenue, and the stock's valuation compared to its historical valuation to assign a stock a rating similar to analyst buy, hold, and sell ratings.
Only available in the Professional plan, timeseries analysis is an extremely powerful interface within YCharts for evaluating how a company's fundamentals – and those of its competitors – have changed over time. The full range of fundamental data types is available for timeseries analysis and can be examined over multiple timescales ranging from daily to monthly to annually. In addition, it is possible to save sets of fundamental data types as frequently used data sets for quick loading in the future. The data in timeseries analysis is formatted for export for additional analysis and organization.
YCharts is equipped with screeners for both stocks and mutual funds. In contrast to the stock screeners found on other platforms, the screener on YCharts focuses on fundamental data rather than at-the-moment technical indicators. The mutual fund screener resembles that of Morningstar, with filters based on fund performance as well as risk and fees.
YCharts operates inside your browser so there is little in the way of customizing or saving screen layouts. However, the dashboard screen does allow you to save multiple dashboard formats as individual windows. In addition, many of the screener searches and sets of fundamental data parameters, such as used for charting and timeseries analysis, can be saved to sets so that they can be loaded quickly in the future.
YCharts differs from many of the charting and analysis platforms available in that it focuses on fundamental corporate data rather than technical analysis of historical stock data. The fundamental charting capabilities, and especially the ability to compare multiple stocks within an industry on the same set of charts, is extremely useful for traders looking to benchmark a company against its competitors. In addition, the timeseries data tool available in the Professional plan can be extremely useful in determining the value of a company compared to its current stock price and its potential future trajectory. In addition, the inclusion of data for mutual funds and a fund screener is useful for traders who invest in funds as well as in individual stocks.
What Type of Traders is YCharts Best for?
YCharts is designed primarily for long-term investors who are interested in investing companies that they believe are undervalued based on their fundamentals. The platform lacks many of the technical analysis tools commonly associated with charts, instead focusing on providing traders with the ability to compare fundamental data across companies within the same sector. The YCharts rating system gives investors an additional analytical insight into companies' value, while the inclusion of data and a screener for mutual funds makes the platform suitable for traders who also invest in mutual funds.


It has been almost a month since I bought something for myself from Ebay. That was quite an achievement because I usually purchase several items for personal usage within a 30-day period. I've been focusing lately on Ebay selling and it was taking a lot of my time. So, as a gift for my birthday next week, I waged a bidding war for a peculiar jacket — the Gazette newspaper print one! Of course, the action begins in the last 10 seconds and the price have hiked up in those last moments. LOL I eventually won and I am very excited to receive the item on Friday!
(Photo from the Ebay seller).
On a different note, I have tried to transfer some of my PayPal funds to a bank account because all the shipping I have done last Monday and today has greatly affected my finances. =/ The 21 day period is definitely a pain to deal with and I cannot wait to finally have my funds become available. I don't have a credit card (I'm better off not having one) so it was Mon's PayPal account and since we are doing this business together, I just think of it as an extension of our partnership. We had to open a PayPal account back in 2011 because the guesthouse we stayed in Seoul required a deposit and it they only accept payment via PayPal.
I have searched online and found a list of bank codes in the Philippines, listed on a page from Ebay.ph. I had to manually input the Bank name "BANK OF THE PHIL ISLANDS (BPI)", and honestly, I was worried whether there should be an extra (BPI) in the end. I then added the bank code "010040018" indicated in the list, as well as entering the BPI account number twice.
After pressing "Continue", I was led next to the "Review your bank account information", where I was informed of the return fee, in case of wrong information (e.g. incorrect account number, names not matching). I think this was a one time process/s because it was sort of enrolling this bank account to be the default destination of PayPal funds when withdrawing.
After pressing "Save" comes the part where I had to indicate what amount the amount of money I wish to send to the bank account. The dropdown in "From this balance" indicates the USD and Php balances. I only have Php 100 in my PayPal account, which was the fee credited back during the one-time verification.
All I can do now is wait for two to four business days for the transfer to happen. I am crossing my fingers that it would take just the minimum two days because it will already be Thursday tomorrow. I am still stressing out and nitpicking with Mon's name because I'm not too sure if he had added a dash (-) on his given name when he registered for that bank account. LOL PayPal, don't fail me please.
So off to BPI in KPMG Building I went, input some detail and took a number. But it took me forever before my number got called, and to make matters worse, the teller just informed me right there and then that their system was offline and I had to manually fill out two sets of transaction slips, which they will process once the system was okay again. So that was causing the delay. I couldn't understand why they did not bother telling the people right away (I mean there were really LOTS of people waiting) and handed out transaction slips for us to manually accomplish, instead of telling every person approaching the counter to do so. Very efficient. Anyway, I ended up with an "OFFLINE VALIDATED" slip and off to the office I rushed.
Before reaching the elevator, I asked another BPI branch by the ground floor of our building if the system was already online. I was informed that it just went running again a few minutes back. I hurried upstairs and called the other branch to ask if they have already processed my two transactions. It turned out, the teller gave me the wrong telephone number. I also had a second glance at the transaction slip and she had wrongly written a digit in the account number. I had no choice but to walk back again to their building and ask her about it. Mon went with me this time and I was swearing a lot on our way. Mon looked nervous because he probably thought that I might be having a fit, but I calmly approached the teller and asked her about what happened. I was actually surprised about my reaction because I would normally lash out but I began thinking few weeks back that I should really learn to control my temper. The only downside, though, was Mon becoming my unintentional shock-absorber of my cussing fit.
So what made me really determined to have that transaction completed? It was because I was paying for a (yet again) Burberry leather messenger bag I bought online, from the same seller who sold me the LV Epi Noir Pochette Cles. She was extremely nice and easy to talk with. Besides, it will be my first ever Burberry and I love the fact that it is leather and not canvas! I already accepted the fact that I might not receive it tomorrow but I was surprised when the seller was able to ship it as she reached the cut-off. The bag in question will arrive tomorrow. A big thank you to her.
Of course, it might initially seem that I was out spending on another bag again but the truth was, I had to let go of another bag, the Hermès Fourre Tout I bought almost three months ago. I liked it but I never really got the chance to use it and it was only my sister who had the chance to take it out on my nephew's birthday (as a diaper bag!). In the process of selling it, I ended up guilt-free because it was sold at a price more than the cost of the Burberry messenger, which did not leave me with less resources. I just looked at it as a trade and this bag deserves another person who will lovingly use it.
I know it will be quite hard for me to just kick off my habit of looking into having another bag, but I have learned that the first step of just selling the things I don't use clearly leads the way to a better spending habit. More or less, I end up with a new bag with extra money to spare. The ultimate goal, however, was to extremely minimize my bags to just a little over six or make it seven. =P I know I'll get there someday, one step at a time. Who knows, maybe before 2013 ends, that goal has been already achieved.

Q: simplify ssh hostnames with wildcard I got many servers with names ending in 001, 002, 003 and I want to rename them into something simpler; something like this:
Host server*
User user
HostName server-xxx-yyy-zzz-*

Host client*
User user
HostName client-xxx-yyy-zzz-*

And then ssh server001 is executed like ssh server-xxx-yyy-zzz-001
Is there any way to do this with only ssh-config? can I do some maneuver in /etc/hosts? or I have to create a script to generate the config for each host?

A: I have the same problem and I put the new names in /etc/hosts because I also need them:

*

*as ping targets

*in browser URLs (admin consoles, or testing servers)

*in DB connection

*in Git URLs.

Once you have done that you only need one generic entry in ~/.ssh/config:
Host client* server*
    User username
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa # if the same everywhere

Of course SSH will pester you once for each new name, to add the host key to known_hosts.

When you're the bride to be, it's pretty safe to say that the list of tasks and to-do's does not end. It isn't all that bad, especially when you get to do the fun items on the list. Choosing a venue for any event can be a hard task, but add in the pressure of a wedding and it can become a little crazier. Selecting the perfect venue is a big task, but I am here to share some tips on how to make it your best celebration yet.
Do you and your soon to be husband love golf? A local country club may be the perfect place for you. If you are foodies and want to bring some great elements in to the mix, one of your favorite restaurants would be a great spot for you.
I chose a winery, because we originally wanted to have our wedding at one. The winery venues we had looked in to didn't hold as many people as we planned on inviting so we had to move on in our search. When it came time to pick a bridal shower venue, a winery was one of the first places I looked at. I am so happy to be able to include a part of my original wedding wish with my upcoming winery shower.
Do you want a large shower? How many people do you estimate inviting?
Will you have it catered or do you want somewhere that has food on site?
Do you want it in the outdoor elements or something inside that doesn't risk the weather?
What is your budget? Do you have one?
Do you want minimal or DIY decor, or are you planning on going "all out"?
These are things you will definitely want to know before heading in to meetings or beginning your venue search. It's good to be prepared and have a plan that will be set in to action.
You may have a vision board, or ideas pinned that you want to see come to life. Can this venue fulfill those desires? Can you turn your local restaurant in to the Tuscan themed bridal shower of your dreams? Does the gazebo on the lake meet all of your nautical desires for your celebration?
Don't be afraid to tour more than one venue. Get quotes and ask plenty of questions. Also be sure that the manager or event planner is easy to reach and friendly to work with...this will be a huge help as you are planning your shower.
Ask questions, lots of them. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.
I'm kind of a freak when it comes to planning, I like to have allllll my information in line. Here's some great questions you can ask the staff at your potential venues.
Does the venue have ample space?
Can you bring a caterer in to the venue, or do you have to use one of theirs?
Are they charging you for tables, chairs, tents, etc?
What is the price per plate if you are using their dining options?
Can you bring in your own alcohol or do they have a bar?
Are you being charged per hour or one set fee?
Can you come in early enough to set up prior to the shower?
Is your potential date already taken?
Is there any minimum food or beverage prices you have to meet?
Is there a maximum amount of people the venue holds?
If it is outside, what if it rains? Are there other options?
While there is a lot of things to keep in mind while planning your shower, I feel that if you have a plan in action and questions ready you will be able to celebrate at a perfect venue with ease.

I love that you're using a winery! So cool!
I love the winery idea! My MIL planned my entire shower since I didn't live in Chicago at the time. We had it at a local Italian restaurant, and I couldn't have asked for a better day:) Looking forward to more posts!
I think a good plan of action with any event is key. That location though... Perfection!! I love it so much!
All great tips! The winery idea is definitely smart! I didn't plan any part of my shower, I just showed up which was really nice!
Great questions! I just know your wedding events are going to be spectacular!!!
Great tips...I especially love the one about personalization!!
Great ideas!! I didn't plan my shower, so I loved having one less thing to worry about ;) Thanks so much for linking up with Macy and me for Wedding Wednesday this week!
Thank you so much Melissa, I really appreciate it!
Thank you so much Kate :) You're so sweet...I'm taking it one step at a time, once I see the big list I get overwhelmed but I am just doing little by little. I am really excited for all the celebrating!
Thank you so much. You're so kind, I am really excited for everything!
Thank you Chelsea, I am really excited to see it all come together!
Thank you Biana, I appreciate that. Awe, sisters are good for that kind of help...my bridesmaids have been my sisters haha...Xo!

Farewell 2020- be in the know!
First, we want to wish you a Happy New Year. 2020 was a year we'll never forget, but we're staying positive that 2021 will be different. Yes, we're going into the year still very much in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic, with many of us under strict restrictions.
Our races are due to return in March with the Spring Larmer Races – and it was the very same races that were the last ones we hosted in 2020! We can't predict the future, but we're cautiously optimistic that the Larmer races will go ahead as planned. We have a strong Covid-secure plan in place and we're ready to put these races on as long as we're permitted to do so.
But it wasn't all doom and gloom in 2020. We did pull off three brand-new and unique virtual events, which you all took on with enthusiasm and it really gave us cause to smile. We've also been working hard on getting races ready for next year, including some new races and events, which we are really excited about. If you want to be in the know for the New Year then make sure you've signed up to receive our monthly newsletter straight into your inbox by completing the box on the right hand side.
So, here's to 2021, here's to getting back to running rural and here's to the White Star Running family of runners just because you're all so bloody brilliant.

Q: Problems with `conn <- dbConnect()` but a clean `dbConnect()` is executing I have a Shiny app up and running for over 250 days without any issues but suddenly I've got some issues with the connection to the database. While trying to debug in the Rstudio IDE (in another docker container on the same server) I get the same db connection problems.
The odd thing is shown in the screenshot below. When connecting without storing the connection into a variable it is executing, but when I try to store it in a the variable conn with conn <- DBI::dbConnect(...) it is not responding. Obvious, the in the Shiny app this is used a lot. Thus the connection seems to be working but... not really.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of issues and can enlighten me about the possible root causes of what is happening? I appreciate your insights.
Unfortunately, I cannot share any reproducible code for this issue as it is specific to the environment it is running.


One thing that I have always wanted to do but never found the time for is simulating a PID controller with a heat source. In the following I describe how I do this in a small Excel spreadsheet.
The first nuisance related to this problem is that in order to simulate a PID controller, we need an enviroment to simulate.
In our case we assume we have a medium which is divided into 5 compartments labeled Tn, where n is a number between 1 and 5. T1 is heated by a heat source, and the heat propagates through each of the compartments till it reaches compartment T5, which contains our sensor. Each heat compartment dissipates some heat along the way. This setup provides us with a non-linear, time delayed and exponential setup. A figure is shown below.
We first define a constant for the room temperature, which we call Tenv and we set it to 20 degrees Celcius. Then we define T loss, which is the amount of degrees per minute per degrees Celcius which are lost.
This allows us to define the equation of each compartment in the next timestep. The new temperature for compartments 2 to 5 are simply the average of compartment n and compartment n-1 (this could be weighted however) minus the losses due to heat dissipation. For the first compartment, we set it to the old temperature minus heat losses and add the heat depending on the duty cycle d and assuming that the heating element becomes less effective as the heat rises.
Finally we can define our PID duty equation, which has a target temperature of 70 degrees celcius, and makes use of the proportional integral and differential constants (Kp, Kd and Ki).
The excel spreadsheet is available for download from here.
I've just pushed an example showing how to use code that contains statically initialized variables.
This is problematic because the variable is in Flash, where memory cannot be modified!
The solution to this problem is to store all variables with values that need to be initialized in our Flash, and to then copy them to RAM when the application is loaded. By default all variables with non zero values are stored in the .data section, while all zeroed static variables are stored in the .bss section, which must be set to zero during startup.
We start by specifying this in more detail in the linker script. A nice but cryptic resource on what is required is the following page: http://www.math.utah.edu/docs/info/ld_3.html#SEC18.
We use the following updated linker script. We now define a section .etext which we use to get the location after everything else in the Flash memory (I did this because the example using SIZEOF didn't seem to quite work with our setup, but it might be possible). Using it we define the section .data, specifying AT to be the location of .etext, which makes the physical memory address of our data in the ROM be the location of .etext. Finally we also place .bss in RAM, without giving it an address in physical memory.
Within the linker script we also export all the addresses as symbol, so that we can use them within our code. The code _etext = . ; specifies that the current location should be stored under the _etext symbol, which we can use later in code. In this case _etext is the physical memory location of the variables requiring initialization, while _data and _edata mark the virtual addresses. The variables _bstart and _bend are the virtual addresses of the memory that needs to be cleared on startup.
Now we need a way to be able to get these addresses within our code. This can be done be defining external variables as follows. To get the address of _etext we can then use the code addr_of!(_etext) using the macro we define below.
For the full source code see https://github.com/rudihorn/rust-stm32f103-examples/tree/master/stm32-mem.
Small note: This example does not compile with --release for some reason. Unfortunately I don't have a debugger (yet) and so it is a bit difficult to find out what the exact cause is, but it seems to be the memclr function and may be related to the actual function call to memclr. If anyone has any ideas let me know!
Bottle cleaning can be a tedious and time consuming task to perform. As such I have been trying to experiment with creating something to clean bottles, similar to projects using the FastRack bottle drying tray (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iJcG6HbSsE).
The prototype consists out of 20mm outer diameter PVC conduit pipe with 5mm outer diameter copper pipe glued in 80mm intervals 3.5" intervals (estimated to be the distance of FastRack, without actually having a FastRack to measure from). The copper pipe is slightly squeezed together at the ends in order to increase pressure within the system.
Update: I ended up ordering a Fastrack, and the 3x4 bottle tray seems to have a hole distance of 80mm (surprisingly metric ☺).
My homepage is finally dynamically editable without having to change the project itself, meaning I am hoping to contribute much more actively in the future. This is also because the website supports blog style entries, meaning less significant projects can just be posted as blog entries.
For more information about me check out my about page or any of the other projects posted on this website.
