G Adventures' Bruce Poon Tip on sustainable tourism
By Jeri Clausing
This month, G Adventures, the Toronto-based pioneer in the sustainable travel movement, announced it was opening a second headquarters in Boston. The announcement coincided with its first Change Makers Summit in Peru. Senior editor Jeri Clausing, who was on that trip, sat down with founder and CEO Bruce Poon Tip on the final day of the summit to talk about the company and its newest initiatives.
Q: You have been based in Canada for 29 years. What prompted the creation of your so-called HQ2?
Bruce Poon Tip
A: The U.S. is one of our fastest-growing markets, and it has the potential to be one of our biggest. And for us to expand, in terms of attracting the best talent in the world and also retaining the best people, we need an office in the U.S. I think we have been limited in our scope of who we can attract and retain.
Q: What percentage of your market currently is in the U.S., and what's your goal?
A: The U.S. would be about 20%. We'll double the business there over the next three years. That doesn't necessarily mean that 20 is going to go to 40 though, because we're growing our business everywhere. Right now, the U.K. and Europe is our biggest market, but we feel that our potential to grow in the U.S. is equal if not greater.
Q: You are here in Peru for your company's first big advisor event. How did this come together, and how is it different from the usual industry fam or top-sellers trip?
A: I've been so against fams and the way they are done. They are totally motivated by destination or whatever fits an advisor's dates and their budget. So then we get these people who arrive and have no interest. Those fams don't answer the need that we want. We want people to see what we do. We want them to learn what we do so they can be better ambassadors for us when they go home.
So this trip is a labor of love for us. Because we have a very complicated product. It's not easy to sell what we do. I don't think everyone is suited for our tours. But with the amount of green-washing going on in the industry right now, everyone wants to have a responsible message. But there's a difference between what we do [and other companies just making charitable donations]. The difference is our relationship with communities. The dialogue we have with the communities is so deep and so invested. So we want people on the ground to see what we actually do.
Q: As part of this trip we saw several of the community projects your foundation has funded. Which one are you most proud of?
A: Parwa [a restaurant in the Sacred Valley] is pretty big. What you guys probably don't know about the Parwa restaurant is that prior to us bringing tourists there in 2014, tourists didn't stop in that area. There was zero employment and absolute poverty in the region. Now every tour company in the world is stopping there -- not just for Parwa, but now there are also other businesses. So it's a super proud moment for us.
Q: We also stopped at the women's weaving cooperative in Ccaccaccollo. They have developed an exhibition and sales area. Do you ever worry about these villages becoming like zoos, where tourists go to gawk at the locals?
A: The answer to your question is really understanding when there is a point where we have to branch out to create two projects and then three projects, and so on, and benefit more communities as opposed to allowing one to get too successful. I don't think we worry about that too much because most of our projects are in much smaller areas. Peru is a mass destination, so you are seeing one of the biggest destinations we have in the world.
Q: Besides increasing the number of projects you want your foundation, Planeterra, to fund -- from 75 to 100 by 2020 -- you have recently started including "ripple scores" for your itineraries. Tell me about that.
A: This was created to give customers a view of how much of the money spent to run their tours stays on the ground.
Now, in the corner of every trip description there is a little ripple score that shows a percentage of how much of your money is staying in the local community. It's a small thing. But for us ... this is policing ourselves and creating best practices for our buyers because they are motivated by more than price. They are motivated now to ask the questions about local ownership and local employees. We've always had these policies, but enforcement was all anecdotal.

The Plan B Honeymoon
A photographer and his bride celebrate their nuptials with hot spring soaks and a journey into Idaho's remote backcountry.
Elliot Ross
As told to
Nino Padova
When photographer Elliot Ross and his partner, Genevieve Allison, sat down to plan their wedding last year, they pictured nearly 200 people eating, drinking, and dancing beneath the endless Colorado sky. After the festivities, the newlyweds would take off on a six-month jaunt around the globe, a fitting honeymoon for a relationship steeped in travel and discovery.
But a pandemic is nothing if not the perfect party killer. Once summer rolled around, the couple settled on a small ceremony in their backyard attended by immediate family and a few close friends. "It was actually awesome," says Ross. "I can't imagine doing it any other way now. And the best thing is, no one got sick."
As for the globe-trotting honeymoon: It would have to wait. Instead, the two charted a course across the Mountain West that began in their home state of Colorado and stretched into the Basin and Range region of Idaho and, eventually, the Sawtooth Range. Along the way, they'd soak in natural hot springs, accidentally trespass on a nuclear disposal site, and laze away long afternoons reading by the river. Ross shares some of the highlights of their road trip.
1. The Salmon River runs through Stanley, Idaho. 2. Allison nearly loses her hat at Craters of the Moon National Monument.
"We were calling this our mini-moon! Idaho is the state in the West we knew the least about. It's sparsely populated, which was attractive to us, but it also has so many outdoor opportunities. We're big water people. A lot of our trips are designed around rivers and hot springs, and Idaho has some of the best in the region. Plus, we have a nice camper van so a road trip just made sense. Genevieve and I wrote a book together about the U.S.-Mexico border that had us sleeping in our car in WalMart parking lots for five months. We have a lot of experience spending time in close quarters. I'd say that's been the crucible of our relationship."
We have a lot of experience spending time in close quarters. I'd say that's been the crucible of our relationship.
Snapshots from day one in which the newlyweds drive 600 miles through three states.
"Day one was all about covering ground. We were determined to see Big Southern Butte, one of the largest volcanic domes in the world. It sits in the southeastern corner of Idaho's Basin and Range region, which is just a stunning landscape. But getting there proved to be difficult. Google sent us down a strange road with all of these signs: 'Restricted Access: Radioactive Disposal Site.' We'd been driving nearly 11 hours at this point and needed to sleep, so I decided to ignore them. Then we started seeing razor-wire fences and huge hangar-like buildings with stacks of barrels emblazoned with the radioactive symbol. We were definitely not supposed to be here! Eventually, we found a dirt road with a pull-off. It was dark. We killed the engine and cooked up a quick supper under the gleaming band of the Milky Way. The next morning we woke up in the shadow of the Butte and I felt a peacefulness set in for the first time since the wedding."
It was just us, the sound of the water dripping, the crisp mountain air.
"I always keep a journal when I travel," says Ross. "The photos are bookmarks of my journey."
"As a kid, I'd seen photos of scientists exploring the lava tubes at Craters of the Moon National Monument, and ever since I've had the urge to wander the long, dark tunnels. Of course they were closed due to the pandemic. We walked around the higher elevations where wind gusts reached 50mph and the pulverized lava rock sandblasted our legs. Genevieve almost lost her hat! Once you're up there, though, you can see how truly incredible the landscape is. The lava flows swallow the rugged plains that surround them. I fell in love with the topography in this region. It doesn't have the same gestures as the Grand Canyon or Rocky Mountains, but there are subtle details in the colors and textures that just suck you in."
"Idaho has such a diverse landscape," says Ross. "Yet people overlook it."
"We needed a break from the road and a place to reset. We found an Airbnb in Salmon, Idaho, on a beautiful spot along the Lemhi River. Historically it was a free place to stay for river rafters. Our host, Lynn, was so gracious and knowledgeable, and we appreciated the precautions she took due to COVID. She runs a small farm on the property where she gets most of her vegetables. Genevieve would sit on the porch reading while I worked on my journal. It's something I've done for a very long time; it allows me a quiet moment of introspection after a long, busy travel day. I feel like it's an important form of personal therapy.
After a short but arduous hike, we came to the crown jewel of the trip. Locals call it Elk Bend Hot Springs, but it's also known as Goldbug. This place is truly special! There's a multitude of mineral pools that cascade down a near-vertical gully with small waterfalls connecting each one. Depending on which pool you're in, the water can be as hot as 103 degrees: nice and toasty, which is what you want when it's 45 degrees at sunrise.
Because there are so many pools, you're never really sharing one with anyone else. We set up camp under a nearby cliff with extraordinary views, and made casual trips to the pools. At dawn we hiked down for a soak and found that we were all alone. It was just us, the sound of the water dripping, the crisp mountain air. I can't think of a better way to spend time with someone you love. It's an experience that will stay with me for a lifetime."
Editor's Note: We recommend that you wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow local and CDC guidelines at all times when traveling. You can refer to more tips in our guide to safely navigating road travel in the age of COVID-19.

Iran Nuclear Deal: A Positive for India?
April 10, 2015 4 min read
The Iran nuclear deal is a wonderful opportunity for India. The real test, however, will be whether the deal actually follows through (or even has the ability to follow through) on the opportunities presented. Far from being a stabilising factor, the nuclear deal, in my opinion, is in fact giving licence to Iran to destabilise the region significantly. It is this instability, though potentially economically damaging to India, which may be geopolitically beneficial to India. While North Korea and Pakistan had to nuclearize in order to exploit the sub-conventional space and change the status quo, the Iran nuclear deal gives Iran this space without ever having weaponised. Why?
At the root of my argument is the Russian opposition to snapback sanctions. Should such opposition continue, Iran's compliance would have to be rewarded with lifted sanctions without snapback guarantees. Now any Iranian action in the region, be it an increase in Hezbollah attacks on Israel or increased support to Houthis in Yemen, cannot be punished by the sanctions that were lifted in lieu of nuclear concessions. Doing so would automatically invalidate the nuclear deal.
For India, however, a licence to Iran to be revisionist does two things. First, it bogs the jihadi problem down in its own backyard for the first time in many years instead of stirring the pot in Afghanistan or Chechnya (some of which had a fallout on India, specifically in Kashmir). This is important because it leaves countries like Saudi Arabia fighting a desperate situation on its own borders (in Yemen and possibly internal disturbances in the Shia majority eastern provinces) instead of exporting instability abroad. This expends Saudi weaponry, manpower, and treasure, and prevents its diversion to other trouble spots.
Secondly, the deal severely tests the limits of Pakistan-Saudi security guarantees. While renewing a paper pact on nuclear weapons is one thing, will Pakistan actually commit to any ground operation in Yemen – essentially committing to a pre-decided failure? Given Saudi incompetence in the campaign, it seems as though Yemen is very much heading into a quagmire. Most of the assets targeted by the Arab air campaign seem to be those not owned by Houthis but by more "ideologically flexible" allies that were or are part of the state. This has reduced the state's ability to deal with not just the Houthis at a later date but also with Al Qaeda (making a resurgence).
The fear of a quagmire would limit Pakistani support and erode its credibility as a provider of security in the region, much as the United States' waning support for the Anglo-French Suez offensive incensed De Gaulle to go nuclear. On the other hand, should Pakistan live up to its security guarantees, it would both alienate Iran even more than it already has and unleash fissiparous tendencies within Pakistan itself, given that at least 20% of its population is Shia. In either case, pillars of Pakistani security would be gravely affected. For the Saudis, overt nuclearisation would bring dramatic consequences for the United States security shield and Iran, and open up the same sub-conventional space in the region that Pakistan has exploited vis-à-vis India.
The automatic result of a rupture in Pakistan-Iran relations is that Iran's past reluctance in allowing India to synergise its efforts at supplying Afghanistan (and enraging Pakistan) is more than likely to dissipate. The question of course is whether India will actually step up to the plate or allow Afghanistan to be gobbled up by Pakistani proxies like it did in the late 1990s. Whether Indian aid to Afghanistan is military or not is irrelevant – even the rumour of increased cooperation sets Pakistan in a destructive cycle, burning bridges with the Ghani administration.
The big question then is what all this instability means for India in economic terms, because geopolitically opportune situations can be economic disasters, and vice versa. Largely this has to do with the region's reputation for being single-product economies – oil in this case. Saudi Arabia has deliberately kept oil prices low for three reasons: a) to thwart the shale revolution in the United States; b) to make Iranian oil sales unprofitable; and c) to keep Russian oil sales barely profitable. This has been wonderful for India, because not only has it reduced India's balance of payments problems, but it has also had positive effects on the petrochemicals (fertilizers) sector. The net result of increased Iranian mischief could mean Saudi imperatives to keep oil prices low will only increase, while the situation will bring significant geopolitical positives to India.
Obviously no course of action will follow the exact chain of events described above, and many permutations and combinations exist in which things may not be all that good for India. All in all, however, should the region be stable or unstable, the situation could be a positive one for India. Unfortunately, knowing the Indian bureaucracy and the severe enforcement deficit it represents, most of the opportune moments may just be castles in the air.

Lowe Enterprises treats its workers right
Opinion | March 2, 2019
We are both Aspenites of long standing and longtime employees of Lowe Enterprises. Between us, we have worked for Lowe Enterprises for more than five decades.
Lowe Enterprises, which has partnered with Jeff Gorsuch and Bryan Peterson on Gorsuch Haus, has a 45-year local history with Aspen. Bob Lowe's first project as a developer was The Gant here in Aspen, which he built in 1972. He and his company have since developed successful resort properties around the West. And Lowe has managed The Gant, as well as several properties in Snowmass, for decades.
In our experience as employees, we can say that Bob and his company are great employers. Lowe cares about the people who work for them and does its best to create a supportive working environment. Unfounded criticism from outside the community is best offset by testimony from those of us who have lived and worked here with Lowe for many years.

A female puppy deserves a wonderful name, and it's greatest to discover a name inside the first week or so. Getting to know your dog just before naming her is important, but the quicker you name her, the better it will be for each pet and owner. We got in touch with a vet and she asked us to get her in ASAP and they will be waiting when we get there, when we got to the vets they checked her more than and said she will be staying the evening, they told us to go home and they will get in touch with us later.
I do not think you looked at the DVD and followed the directions, there are 3 levels, Level 1 you would not leave both doors open or any door open since you are coaching the dog to initially have only two selections, use the potty in their sleeping location OR on the potty side.
We have the equipment and we could possibly incorporate the sensor, which in our case is a circular disk significantly less than two cm diameter, into the chin rest in such a way that the dog doesn't even notice it. We record movement (usually chest movement for humans) making use of BIOPAC equipment which also records TTL signals sent when per TR for the duration of the EPI time series, so synchronization is trivial.
When dogs get their shots they are only visited quickly for any obvious issues (like a lump, development in the mouth, swollen abdomen etc) and these much more subtle difficulties that are seen when walking the dog or only seen at occasions can be missed.
I've had to place two dogs to sleep and it was a easy option simply because they have been sick and did not want them to suffer for they had been at undesirable stages.. Bart is a extremely smart dog and I think he is becoming bored with old age and not thrilled with his circumstance.

Professor Mark Juergensmeyer of UC Santa Barbara discussed religious violence and how it develops.
FSU College of Social Sciences and Public Policy and the Center for Global Engagement invited Juergensmeyer to campus due to his accolades in literature on global religion, religious violence, conflict resolution and South Asian religion and politics.
With an illustrated presentation featuring ISIS and other Muslim activists, Christian militants, Jewish extremists, Buddhist rebels and Sikh separatists, Juergensmeyer presented how violence can arise in nearly any form of worship.
Religious violence as a study is perceived as investigating the motivations or reactions that people derive from religion to justify or cause radical actions.
For Juergensmeyer, his interest was piqued in understanding how this violence has developed and risen overall the last several decades. He focuses on understanding whether religion is the cause or the victim of the violence.
"We need to understand how we went from one thing [the Cold War] to this extremism," he said.
Mass shootings, suicide bombings and public attacks are how extremism presents itself in the media, but Juergensmeyer dove into the uprisings and rallies that breed and progress into these acts of violence.
Juergensmeyer likened many typical American or Christian practices to those of other cultures and religions, like the fervor of the Sikh rebellions to that of Christian revivals, to establish his point that radical messages can be presented to any accepting audience.
Reconciling worldviews and recognizing personal perceptions, were aspects emphasized by Juergensmeyer for the understanding of religious violence and the biases present from one religion to another.
After practicing understanding and discourse, the last step pushed by Juergensmeyer is to determine how people are supposed to respond to religious violence.
Sponsored by the College of Social Sciences and Public Policy's Ruth K. and Shepard Broad International Lecture Series, the lecture was organized in partnership with the Engage Your World multicultural dialogue series of the FSU Center for Global Engagement.

Pixar announces release date for The Incredibles 2
By Gem Seddon 2015-10-09T23:32:13.281Z
Alongside Marvel's mammoth announcement yesterday came word from another of Disney's studios, Pixar. During part of that same press conference The Mouse House's animation arm put an end to the years of rumors and speculation. Prepare yourselves, folks. We've finally got a release date for The Incredibles 2.
Pixar confirmed the June 19, 2019 date via Twitter. Before you sigh and curse the very word "sequel", rest easy. Brad Bird, who helmed the first instalment in 2004, is already signed up to write and direct. Judging by Bird's comments in recent interviews he's nearly finished wrapping up the script, said to include a barrage of unused ideas from the first movie.
No specific story details have emerge, although we can say with confidence that it will likely revolve around the loveable super-powered family from the first outing.
As for the rest of Pixar's roster, here's the full tweet with an attached infographic detailing the next four years of animated bliss:

I haven't had a lot of time to read up about Ret. 1.1 been pretty busy in real life for the past month or so. I can't say any of the new features really stand out to me personally. I am excited about the dueling system I plan on exploring that a little bit more. But other than that I am kind of watching all the Battlecruiser changes from the sidelines I wish I had enough isk to invest in some Battlecruisers speculation a little bit but not this time around.
Other UI improvements always a plus but other than that I am looking forward to summer hopefully I will be in better position to invest more things by then. Anyway have fun with the changes when they go live.

A Re-Cap of Hillsong Church's "Very Cruel Week"
By Timothy Yap Mar 27, 2022 07:08 PM EDT
Hillsong Church has had a trying time last week. According to co-founder Bobbie Houston, the last seven days were a "very cruel week." Here's a re-cap of what has had happened to the Australian-based mega-church.
The week started with Hillsong Church elder and decades-long Houston family loyalist, Dr Gordon Lee resigning as an elder of the church. Though Lee has not revealed his reason(s) for leaving, but his resignation signalled that trouble was already brewing for the church.
This was followed by the resignation of Brian Houston as the mega-church's Global Senior Pastor. Houston's resignation came after an internal investigation found he had breached the church's code of conduct twice over the past decade by behaving inappropriately towards two women.
The church later revealed that the former Hillsong Dallas pastor Reed Bogard resigned last year after he was accused of rape. A former Hillsong college student also went public with claims that the church had covered up her sexual assault.
On Thursday Hillsong Atlanta's lead pastor, Sam Collier, resigned, citing the ongoing scandals and accusations about various members of Hillsong. Collier has also announced that he is setting up his own church. "It became a lot for a our church, for a young church," he said. "A lot of our members were becoming really fatigued with a lot of the scandals and having to talk about it so much. I say this all the time that trust is the only thing you have when building a church. People have to trust you if they're going to donate and if they're going to support it."
On the same day, Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed, a three-part docuseries was released. According to the press release, the series explores "the allegations of the trauma, abuse, financial and labor exploitation that created a culture of chaos within the church. The series will also examine how Hillsong was able to grow into a global brand, while uncovering the truth behind the headlines of recent scandals and shining a light on the fine line between culture, corporation and cult."
Later in the year, Brian Houston will stand trial for allegedly not reporting his father's sexual abuse of a boy in the 70s. If convicted, Houston could be looking at spending some time in prison. And if the church were to be forced to conduct an independent investigation over the recent scandals, more shocking secrets will be revealed in the months to come.

"Hearty congratulations to all who helped organise and run this year's RailStaff Awards, however large or small their involvement. Once again it was a brilliant evening - very much the "Railway Industry Event of the Year"! Now all we have to do is make next year's event even better. We do make life difficult for ourselves!"
Project Officer - Network Rail at Samaritans said…
"The Lifesaver award seeks to recognise those individuals who have intervened to potentially save the life of a vulnerable person on the rail network, and to demonstrate that talking and listening to someone in need can make a huge difference. Samaritans' aims of breaking down barriers to intervening and the myths about suicide are now imbedded in rail culture with over 10,500 staff trained, while the number of interventions are up by 34% from April 2015. Empowering staff to support vulnerable members of the public, colleagues, friends or family remains a core part of the relationship between the rail industry and Samaritans and The Lifesaver award is an opportunity to highlight this crucial on-going work as well as encouraging rail staff to be champions for our service."

Endoscopy Procedures at Covenant Surgical Partners – Hawaii
We strive to make your endoscopy experience as pleasant and worry-free as possible. When done, many patients often remark how easy it was to go through the procedure.
We've compiled some answers to frequently asked questions about endoscopies and why they are so important to your health.
What is an endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a procedure that uses long, flexible cameras, called endoscopes, to look inside the digestive system.
What is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)?
When the procedure is limited to the examination of the upper portion of the digestive system, it is called upper endoscopy or an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
Upper endoscopy is more accurate than x-rays for detecting inflammation, ulcers, or tumors. It is one of the most effective ways of diagnosing early cancers by helping to determine whether an abnormal growth is cancerous or not.
To treat conditions in the upper digestive system, small instruments can be passed through the endoscope that allows your doctor to perform procedures like removing abnormal growths.
When is an endoscopy used?
Common problems that can be evaluated with endoscopy include:
Difficulty with swallowing
Severe heartburn (acid reflux)
Intolerances to foods
Abdominal discomfort and pain
Changes to your bowel habits
Signs of bleeding
Cancer screening and diagnosis
First, a topical medication is sprayed or gargled to numb the back of the throat. Patients are also sedated and made comfortable with medications given through an IV during the procedure.
The doctor then eases the endoscope, which is a thin, flexible, lighted tube that has a tiny video camera, past the mouth and into the first portions of the digestive system. Air is pumped through the endoscope to enable a clearer view of the inside of your digestive system. Your doctor can sample or remove abnormal growths without significant discomfort.
How do I prepare? Will I need to miss work?
Your upper digestive tract must be empty for the procedure, so you must not eat or drink for at least 6-12 hours before the exam. Please inquire about taking your regular medications before the procedure.
Most people feel OK after an endoscopy. After your procedure is completed, you will be taken to another room where one of our nurses will ensure your comfort. You may feel a bit woozy from the sedatives.
Because of the sedatives given for the exam, we do not allow patients to drive, so you will need someone to take you home. Pain or any other unusual symptoms should be reported to your doctor immediately.
You should be able to return to work the next day. Read more about what to expect before, during and after an endocopy procedure.
At Covenant Surgical Partners, you will be cared for by well-trained, qualified, and respected professionals who specialize in this procedure. You will be monitored at every phase of the exam in the most advanced facility for endoscopy in Hawaii.

Citta (Pali and Sanskrit: चित्त; pronounced chitta; IAST: citta) is one of three overlapping terms used in the nikaya to refer to the mind, the others being manas and viññāṇa. Each is sometimes used in the generic and non-technical sense of "mind" in general, and the three are sometimes used in sequence to refer to one's mental processes as a whole. Their primary uses are, however, distinct.

Usage
The Pali–English Dictionary translates citta as heart or heart-mind, emphasizing it as more the emotive side of mind, as opposed to manas as the intellect in the sense of what grasps mental objects (dhamma). Citta is the object of meditation in the third part of Satipatthana, also called Four Foundations of Mindfulness.

Citta primarily represents one's mindset, or state of mind. It is the term used to refer to the quality of mental processes as a whole. Citta is neither an entity nor a process; this likely accounts for its not being classified as a skandha, nor mentioned in the paticcasamuppada formula. In Indian Psychology, chitta is the seat & organ of thought (cetasā cinteti; cp. Gr. φρήν, although on the whole it corresponds more to the Homeric χυμός).

The complex causal nexus of volitions (or intentions) which one experiences continuously conditions one's thoughts, speech, and actions. One's state of mind at any given time reflects that complex; thus, the causal origin of actions, speech, and thoughts is sometimes associated with the state of mind in a manner of speaking. This does not mean that it is that causal nexus; it is better understood as an abstract reflection. One's mindset can be out of tune with one's desires or aspirations. In that it reflects the volitions, the citta is said to go off with a will of its own if not properly controlled. It may lead a person astray or, if properly controlled, directed and integrated, ennobling one. One may "make citta turn according to" his wishes most effectively by developing skill in meditative concentration which brings mental calm and clarity. An individual undergoes many different states of mind; M.II.27 asks: "Which citta? for citta is manifold, various, and diverse." Generally speaking, a person will operate with a collection of changing mindsets, and some will occur regularly. While these mindsets determine the personality, they are not in control of themselves, but fluctuate and alternate. There is thus the need for the meditative integration of personality to provide a greater, more wholesome consistency.

Regarding volitions, there is a similarity between viññāna and chitta; they are both associated with the qualitative condition of a human being. Viññāna provides awareness and continuity by which one knows one's moral condition, and citta is an abstraction representing that condition. Citta is therefore closely related to volitions; this connection is also etymological, as chitta comes from the same verbal root in Pali as the active terms meaning "to will". chitta also reflects one's cognitive condition/progress.

Citta as a mindset can become "contracted" (i.e. unworkable), "distracted", "grown great", "composed", or the opposite of such qualities (M.I.59). It can be dominated by a certain emotion, so as to be "terrified", "astonished", or "tranquil." It can be "taken hold of" by pleasant or unpleasant impressions (M.I.423). A host of negative emotionally charged states can pertain to it, or it may be free of such states, so it is vital to develop or purify it: "For a long time this chitta has been defiled by attachment, hatred, and delusion. By defilement of chitta, beings are defiled; by purity of chitta, beings are purified" (S.III.152).

Attaining a purified chitta corresponds to the attaining of liberating insight. This indicates that a liberated state of mind reflects no ignorance or defilements. As these represent bondage, their absence is described in terms of freedom.

The Premier League transfer window is open. Click here to review all the latest transfers and, below, keep up to date with the latest gossip.
When does the window open in Europe? | QUIZ: Which club should you join?
TOP STORY: Man United to turn to Tielemans
Manchester United are in the middle of a rebuild and though it's the defence that is a priority, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly keen to take midfielder Youri Tielemans to Old Trafford.
Transfer grades: Rating every major signing from Europe
Why were Chelsea given a transfer ban?
- Neymar tells PSG he wants to leave
- Inter to bid £60m for Lukaku
- Real want at least €80m for Bale
- United miles from Maguire valuation
- United confident of De Gea deal
The 22-year-old has been on loan at Leicester, with the Foxes working on a £40m deal to sign him permanent from Monaco. But, according to HLN, United are now in the race and the player is considering his options over which club he wants to join.
Man United's transfer strategy has changed from recent seasons and the Belgium international is considered one for the future, much like 21-year-old Daniel James who just arrived from Swansea.
Tielemans does not want to return to Monaco, so it seems like he'll be on his way as soon as a club stumps up the required fee.
22.42 BST: We'll bring Saturday's live edition of Transfer Talk to a close with some news about more promising players from Premier League academies looking to make the move to the Bundesliga. The Mirror reports that Chelsea's England U18 forward Martell Taylor-Crossdale will travel to Germany this week for a medical ahead of signing for Hoffenheim on a free transfer, and adds that 17-year-old Fulham midfielder Cody Drameh is already in country ahead of a medical at Eintracht Frankfurt.
21.55 BST: More news on Reece James! The Liverpool Echo writes that Everton are one of the Premier League clubs interested in Chelsea's 20-year-old full-back, but are also monitoring Atletico Madrid's 27-year-old right-back Santiago Arias.
21.08 BST: Having impressed on loan at Wigan last season, Chelsea full-back Reece James is wanted by Swansea, according to the Mail, whose report adds that the Welsh club will have to fend off interest in the 20-year-old from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs.
20.21 BST: While Aston Villa and Bournemouth have both enquired about Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland, the Mail reports that the newly promoted Premier League side have emerged as favourites for the England international that Stoke have valued at £23m.
19.34 BST: Calciomercato has some details on the ongoing saga of Paul Pogba's potential transfer to Real Madrid and Juventus. The story cites Corriere dello Sport as reporting that Juventus would be willing to offer Douglas Costa and cash in order to get the France World Cup winner, while Madrid would prefer to swap Gareth Bale or James Rodriguez without any money changing hands.
18.47 BST: Flamengo's Reinier Jesus is being talked about as one of the best young players in Brazil and Tuttomercatoweb reports that Arsenal are ready to rival Real Madrid for his signature.
Jesus, 17, has scored five goals in nine games for Brazil U17s and has a release clause of £60.5m. He has been likened to Brazil legend Kaka and Real are certainly favourites to land him given he said this recently: "I'm heavily inspired by [Zinedine] Zidane. I've watched a lot of videos on the internet of him playing. I'm always trying to execute plays like he did."
18.10 BST: Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet looks set to leave the club this summer, with his former manager Marco Giampaolo keen on bringing him to Milan.
Praet, 25, has also been linked to Arsenal and the midfielder's agent, Martin Riha, told Calciomercato: "AC Milan is an important brand, it's a big name. But there are also other clubs that want to sign him, especially abroad, they've already shown their interest ... There are many clubs interested, we'll know everything in a few weeks."
17.31 BST: Wow. Manchester United are interested in signing West Ham defender Issa Diop and willing to pay £45m plus a player, Sky Sports News understands.
So far, United are being priced out of their defensive reinforcements as Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly would cost £100m and Leicester City value Harry Maguire at £80m.
But Diop, who impressed last season in London, would be a cheaper option. It's not mentioned who the player might be ... but we doubt it's Alexis Sanchez.
17.17 BST: With a name like Everton, you'd think the Brazil and Gremio striker would be keen to move to Merseyside. But no, when asked about his future after scoring for his country against Bolivia in the Copa America he told the Daily Mail: "I'm a player that's always trying to get on top [of the opposition]. Cutting in from the left with dribbles and good finishes. Clubs in Europe have this style of play too and maybe I can fit in at Manchester United and others."
AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain have also shown an interest in the 23-year-old, who has a release clause of €80m, but it seems like he's only got one club on his mind.
17.01 BST: Barcelona are reportedly willing to offer €25m for Borussia Dortmund's Raphael Guerreiro, say SPORT.
Barca have been on the lookout for a left-back for some time, with Jordi Alba needing a competent backup, but have been looking at more experienced players like Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis until now.
Guerreiro, 25, only has a year left on his contract so Barcelona could get a cheap deal for the Portugal international.
16.25 BST: West Ham and Valencia have both had bids of £29m accepted by Celta Vigo for striker Maxi Gomez, say Sky Sports.
Gomez, 22, almost joined West Ham in January but Vigo wanted the full €50m release clause paid. However, it now sees that the Uruguay striker has a choice to make.
15.58 BST: Atletico Madrid midfielder Rodri is set to make a decision on his future this week, say the Daily Mail.
Rodri, 22, has attracted the interest of Man City, Bayern Munich and Man United but has asked for some time to think about a possible £62m move.
15.17 BST: The Guardian claims that "Aston Villa are interested in signing Ethan Ampadu on a season-long loan from Chelsea if the 18-year-old becomes available this summer."
Ampadu is a Wales international midfielder but has yet to play in the Premier League, despite being held back by Chelsea to play a role in the first-team.
14.27 BST: More Arsenal news, but not good news as AC Milan have reportedly made a £35m bid to sign Lucas Torreira.
The Uruguay midfielder has already stated that he's not really enjoying life in England as much as he did in Italy and new boss Marco Giampaolo wants to reunite with the player he had at Sampdoria.
Gazzetta dello Sport report Franck Kessie could be included in the deal.
13.55 BST: We suppose by now that Arsenal fans are quite used to their club signing some unknown French players who turn out to be pretty good.
In which case, the reports that they have agreed an £18m deal to land 21-year-old striker Alexis Claude-Maurice from Lorient should come as no surprise.
13.26 BST: Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake has released a statement about the future of Ryan Fraser, with the winger linked to Arsenal recently.
"Much has been written and spoken about the future of Ryan Fraser, as his contract with AFC Bournemouth heads into its final 12 months," he said.
"As is the club's policy, details regarding contract negotiations or transfer activity are kept confidential and do not enter the public domain. However, following some recent reports I felt it was imperative to speak publicly and provide balanced clarity on the situation.
"The offer of a new long-term contract has been on the table for Ryan for some time. In September 2018, at the request of Ryan's representative, negotiations were paused to allow the player to focus entirely on his football. He went on to have an outstanding season, with seven goals and 13 assists helping the club secure a fifth successive season of Premier League football.
"During that time, I have been -- and continue to be -- in regular dialogue with Ryan's representative, and have made it clear to both him and the player that our contract offer remains on the table.
"Quite simply, Ryan is a fantastic player and an integral part of our squad. We look forward to welcoming Ryan back to us next month after a well-earned break, upon which he can focus on having another standout season for AFC Bournemouth."
13.11 BST: Arsenal want to sell Mesut Ozil to free up some cash for new players, reports the Sun.
Ozil earns £350,000-a-week and has two years left on his contract, but the Gunners are prepared to offload him for around £30m. Turkish giants Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas are all keen but the fee is too high when you include his wages too.
12.34 BST: Corriere dello Sport reckon that Manchester United have asked for Milan Skriniar to be included in any transfer deal for Romelu Lukaku.
Antonio Conte wants to make striker Lukaku his first signing, sources have told ESPN FC, but United are only interested if they can get the defender in return -- plus some cash.
This one will be unlikely as Skriniar has only just signed a new long-term deal at Inter.
12.05 BST: Bayern Munich centre-back Mats Hummels could be on his way back to Borussia Dortmund, according to Bild.
The German publication reported on Friday evening that Dortmund have begun "serious conversations" with this year's domestic double winners about bringing Hummels, 30, back to the club where he played between 2008 and 2016.
Bayern head coach Niko Kovac has reportedly agreed to let the 2014 World Cup-winner leave for a sum as high as €20m, but the Croatian boss has not commented on any potential move publicly.
Hummels came through Bayern's academy before leaving for Dortmund in 2008, beginning an eight-year spell in which he won two Bundesliga titles and one DFB Pokal. He also finished as a Champions League runner-up in 2013, before returning to Bayern three years later, where he would win three consecutive league titles and another German cup.
His international career was ended earlier this year when Germany boss Joachim Low told him and Bayern teammates Jerome Boateng and Thomas Muller that they would no longer be considered for selection.
11.30 BST: Philippe Coutinho is a target for Chelsea to replace Eden Hazard if the Blues win their appeal against their transfer ban, according to Marca.
In an article listing potential destinations for the attacking midfielder, the Spanish daily says Coutinho is "definitely" wanted at Stamford Bridge if they can get the FIFA-imposed restriction on signings lifted.
Coutinho's career has stalled has he joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018, failing to reproduce the form that earned him a move to the Camp Nou that could yet cost Barca as much as €160m.
The 27-year-old scored two goals in Brazil's 3-0 win over Bolivia ion Friday's Copa America opener, and a good performance in that tournament could convince Chelsea to bring him back to the Premier League.
10.40 BST: KEEP OR DUMP? Arsenal edition -- What should Unai Emery do about Mesut Ozil & Co. this summer? It promises to be another tricky offseason for the Gunners as they continue to rebuild their imbalanced squad in the hopes of contending again.
In the latest edition of our Keep or Dump? series, Gab Marcotti and Mark Ogden run through the Arsenal squad and dispense their advice about what to do.
09.55 BST: Frank Lampard will be appointed as Chelsea's new manager to replace the outgoing Maurizio Sarri, according to The Sun.
And, according to the paper, Lampard wants to bring in his former teammate Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge with him, although not ex-Blues captain John Terry.
Lampard led Derby County to the Championship playoff final this season, where he lost to an Aston Villa side where John Terry is assistant to manager Dean Smith.
Sources have told ESPN FC that Sarri is set to leave Chelsea and take over at Juventus after the Italian champions agreed to pay around £5m in compensation.
09.15 BST: Mino Raiola, the agent who represents players including Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, has had his worldwide ban lifted by FIFA.
Earlier this month, world football's governing body extended a three-month ban imposed by the Italian Football Association (FIGC) to have worldwide effect.
The reasoning behind the ban -- which meant Raiola would have been unable to do deals until Aug. 9, the day after the close of the Premier League transfer window -- was not made clear.
The 51-year-old appealed to the Italian FA's disciplinary committee, which said on Thursday that it had lifted the three-month punishment.
Raiola is now free to conduct business for clients such as De Ligt, and he has been in the French capital this week to negotiate a deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
Meanwhile, sources told ESPN last month that Pogba was pushing for a summer move out of Manchester United, with Juventus interested in re-signing the France midfielder and long-time admirers Real Madrid also linked.
PAPER TALK (by Richard Edwards)
Arsenal set to block CSL interest in Auba
Arsenal are ready to spend big in the next few weeks to ensure that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette remain at the club when the new season kicks off in August.
Aubameyang has been the subject of interest from Chinese clubs who aren't shy when it comes to splashing the cash, with Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG both rumoured to be waving enormous wads of cash in Aubameyang's face in an attempt to lure him to the country's Super League.
Now the Mirror reports the Arsenal hierarchy is prepared to sanction a whopping increase to Aubameyang's current deal, handing him £190,000 per week to keep him in North London. And given he shared the Premier League's Golden Boot in an otherwise underwhelming season at the Emirates, that's hardly surprising.
Speculation surrounding his strike partner Lacazette has also put the Frenchman in line for a pay raise after being linked with a switch to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid since the end of the season, with the Emirates brass aiming to tie him down as they try to return Arsenal to past glories.
Willian to put pen to paper
Chelsea star Willian is set to sign a new two-year deal at Stamford Bridge, as the club tries to ward off interest in the player from Spanish giants Barcelona.
That's the claim from The Sun, which says that the Brazilian maestro is "on the brink" of staying in West London. That is not only good news for Chelsea fans bracing themselves for life with a transfer ban, but also a further indication that the club have ditched their long-term philosophy of offering players only one-year deals once they've turned 30.
- When does the transfer window close?
- Check out all the completed transfers
David Luiz was the first to benefit from that departure from policy and now it looks as if his Brazilian teammate is getting in on the act. Barcelona had been linked with a £30m move for Willian, a player they had been linked with back in January. Chelsea, meanwhile, risked waving goodbye to him for nothing at the end of next season if they hadn't moved fast to secure his services.
After a week that saw Eden Hazard leave the Europa League champions, this counts as some good news at last.
Palace's Wan-Bissaka eyeing United switch
The destination of Aaron Wan-Bissaka remains one of the summer's major talking points, and although Palace are thought to be holding out for an offer of at least £50m for the 21-year-old, the player himself would still favour a move to Old Trafford.
At least that's what Sky Sports is claiming.
Wan-Bissaka is one of English football's hottest prospects and shone in the Palace side last season -- sparking huge interest in his services from the big boys. United have already laid down a £40m offer for his services, but the player is contracted to Palace until 2022, meaning that the South Londoners are in no rush to cash in when his value looks set to keep on rising.
Tap-ins
- Timo Werner's chances of turning up at Anfield next season have increased, with Bayern Munich's interest in the player waning. So says the Mirror, which also claims that Bayern are more interested in bringing Leroy Sane back to Germany rather taking the forward off RB Leipzig's hands.
- PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands international striker Luuk de Jong is in "advanced talks" with Liga MX side Monterrey, according to Mexican outlet Record. The former Borussia Monchengladbach man apparently has asked ex-PSV veteran Andres Guardado and current Boeren star Hirving Lozano about living in Mexico.
- Ajax ace Hakim Ziyech has been linked to a number of clubs since helping the Eredivisie side to the brink of the Champions League final this season. The Mirror reports that Arsenal and Liverpool lead the chase, but he won't come cheap with the Dutch champions seeking in excess of £30m to let him go.
