→Jarvee Review – Is It The Best Social Media Growth Software?
Welcome to my up close and personal Jarvee Review 2019!
Look, I've personally tested out over 25 social media growth softwares/services, and After Years of testing, The complete trial and error, I've finally come back to give you the REAL truth about Jarvee in this review.
Can I say that it is my favorite Social Media growth tool? I thought it was, but that flame only lasted for a few 3 months, and Ofcourse, I'm going to share with you why, and where did I go thereafter.
The Real Plus that I loved about Jarvee has to be it was able to grow my instagram by more than 200% within only a short months time, without having to buy followers, likes, or any of that nonsense.
Summary: Jarvy has to be the second best social media management service I've ever used after testing other growth tools(Followlikers, AlphaReady, WorkMarco, and many more).
Simply Stated, Jarvee is a Social Media Automation Service Software that allows you to share your content all across just about any social media platform(Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Plus), all from an easy to flow dashboard.
You can fully customize bot actions. Within your dashboard, you can select options for Auto Follow/Unfollow, Comments, Likes and send One auto direct Message.
You can fully optimize the rate at which you send your automated likes, comments, direct message, and for how long you want your bot to run for. You can specifiy if you want to get more followers for like 24 hours, 10 hours, send automated comments for 25 minutes, etc.
Ofcourse, with the good has to come the good. Throughout my 3 months of getting the full taste of Jarvee, I found many drawbacks that made me take steps back.
It can be very complicated if you don't like to do the whole self automation yourself, and contiously having to check up your account, make time changes, comment changes, etc.
However, back to the Windows OS part, you can run Jarvee on Macbooks by just installing Windows Virtual Machine.
Furthermore, Jarvee can still operate if you have it in sleep mode, and I guess a plus is that you can run the software in the background so it doesn't drain your computer battery.
How Does Jarvee Compare To Other Softwares?
Services charge your per like, comments, Direct Messages, followers, etc, and there's the possiblity of running into fake bots that can ruin your Instagram Account along with your other social media accounts becuase of the algorithms these days.
Now the good thing about Jarvee is that its safe and complient with most social media laogirthms, and at the moment is so with Instagram. So, lets see how Jarvee Compares to other copetitors.
Why Is Jarvee Much Better than These Among many other of its competitors?
Clearly, apart form the rpcing comparative advantage; Jarvee allows you to manage your account locally from your computer, instread of letting an external agency do it for you. To clear that up, many people prefer to have someone else manage their social media account(as I do so now), but for many others, they like to have complete control and access to their own account at any time without having to email their service team.
Another thing is that Jarvee is an ALL IN ONE social media growth software, whily many other competitors specialize or only have offers for Instagram Growth services.
Some companies will charge you money for using more than one account at a time, And I think a better advantage is that you can join them for free, and you can even promote their service without having to subscribe with them. Many other competitors have you subscribe before you can promote their service.
Many People tend to join these automated service tools to just use the affiliate program to promote them, and forget all about why they should be using it in the first place, which is to grow their page, and get more eyest o their page and more leads to their business.
But that's just a matter of prefrenece, it's really not a big deal, since in the world of affiliate marketing as I know already, this is what many companies already do. So if you choose to promote Jarvee you could so do so, and still focus on pposting out your content and getting the job done accurately.
Overall, I think Jarvee is an awesome social media growth tool that will give you an all in one automated bot service campability at a lower price than most of its competitors. There is an upside to having control over your account vs having a social media management team doing it for you, but where does it go wrong?
There's really nothing "bad" about Jarvee, it's just that I think it can be risky dealing with a self automated system that might not be 100% complient with the Instagram algorithms or any other social media platform, and it will get very annoying and complicated to understand how and why you should be increasing your followers per day, should you drop the amount of people you follow per day, do I unfollow now, should I send a certain amount of likes, and many more integrated little details.
You can just choose to leave it at one setting, and demographic but at a point, you'll find yourself playing around with it trying to figure out what the best placement are for you. If you'd like to understand how that works and you want the full experience of doin it yourself, than why not. But after sometime, it can feel a bit of a dull experience to have to leave the computer on, keep making achanges, and do X amount of things.
1. More time to do the things you want. If you have a business to run like I do, I can't maintan my social media account by doing it all myself, I'm busy creating content, and helping others in my industry.
But you have to be careful. Not many social media mangement teams give you so much added support or any at all. I've found the one that actually offers all this help I just mentioned with over 500 followers per month, 1200 comments sent out per week, over 300 direct messages sent out, and many other nice benefits.
The service that offers all this is called FueledLeads. They are fairly new, coming out around march of 2018, but already its making moves and carrying a loud attention. The price might be a bit higher, but I promise that you'll find it to be a successful use. In fact, I have a review that tells you all you need to know about it, and Fueledleads Benefits. If you'ld like to see why FueledLeads works for my business and hwo I've already helped hundreds of people move their growth in their account and business, then see here.

Iftar Hourglass
During the holy month of Ramadan, food companies must abstain from showing food in their ads to avoid temptation during fasting. Sounds tricky, doesn't it? However, McDonald's and Leo Burnett KSA, have found a way to work around it. Their new Iftar Sandclock campaign features a virtual, live hourglass that counts down the time until Iftar each day.

Communicate spoke with Saadi Alkouatli, Creative Director at Leo Burnett KSA, to understand the inspiration behind the campaign and how the KSA market is dealing with the current pandemic.
How did the inspiration for the campaign come about?
While it's not appropriate to promote food while fasting, [it's still important] to keep the brand on top of mind [during the holy month.] For the last five years, we've been doing a series of Ramadan campaigns for McDonald's in Saudi Arabia, and we've [tried literally,] every trick in the book. We've pixelized the food, hid it, covered it, calligraphed it, you name it. [Any and every attempt,] to hide the food in the morning and reveal it at night. These campaigns were received very positively in the Kingdom. This year, we challenged ourselves to hack our own thinking about the problem. Instead of hiding the food; we decided to reveal it in a way, that is sympathetic to the audience- by doubling up as a dynamic Imsakiah, which is the daily schedule that Muslims use, to know when to abstain from eating and when to break their fast.
How long did it take to create this campaign and how did you approach the creative process under these special circumstances?
[Actually] we first came up with the idea two years ago. Initially, we wanted to execute it the hard way, by building a real 12-hour sand clock. After a couple of calls with different vendors across the globe, to understand the mechanics behind making one, we realized how expensive it would be and called it off. Instead, we turned it into a digital clock that is programmed by the McDonald's screen systems, which handles the content across all their branches.
Why was the campaign executed via DOOH, considering the country was under lockdown?
We were about to shelve the idea for another year when the pandemic spread in the Kingdom. But when drive-thrus and food delivery were authorized, we jumped on the opportunity and used the digital screens across the Kingdom as well as the social channels.
What were the challenges you faced, considering food companies must abstain from showing food in their ads during the holy month?
Every food restaurant has the challenge of advertising food during Ramadan. But if you can let creativity and empathy help you create a non-intrusive solution, then you have a chance to go under the radar.

How is the advertising market in Saudi Arabia dealing with the current pandemic?
I'm amazed at how fast the industry has adapted to the new normal and contributed to helping people adapt to the pandemic. Every advertiser jumped on the social distancing train and supported the government's efforts in educating and nudging, consumer behavior towards a safer lifestyle.

What new trends are you seeing emerging in the KSA market?
It's amazing to see how the local agencies are evolving and, in turn, growing the culture of advertising in the Kingdom. I'm a big fan of cultural communication, and it's only possible when you have the talent to dig deep into the culture and tell a great story to the world, from a perspective only those who live in that culture can [recognize.]

Cine-feminisms and the Academy Symposium 2019
Abstr. due: 13.09.2019
Dates: 12.12.19 — 13.12.19
Area Of Sciences: Sociology;
Organizing comittee e-mail: fordjessica@gmail.com; jessica.ford@newcastle.edu.au; j.brooks@unsw.edu.au
Organizers: University of Newcastle
The contemporary media landscape is shaped by increasing precarity and awareness of gendered issues. The global screen industry is grappling with the cultural and industrial shifts precipitated by the #MeToo and Time's Up movements. For some, the Harvey Weinstein revelations and subsequent scandal resulted in a re-evaluation of the gendered operation of Hollywood. The industry has responded on the red carpet, through the media and in film festival juries. What role do – and can – forms of film feminisms (or cine-feminism) play within this context?
This symposium will explore questions around the state, place and forms of contemporary cine-feminisms. There is little question that women's filmmaking is gaining new currency and profile in film festivals, in film funding and in academic publishing. Calls for greater gender equity in the film industry are resulting in shifts in the ways (some) film funding bodies allocate resources and in how (some) film festivals select and program work. Decades of lobbying by women working both within and on the margins of the film industry have been the driving force in creating these shifts, often in engagement with the long history of feminist film scholarship on the work of women behind the camera, in front of the camera, and in front of the screen. The recent commitments to greater gender equity in the film industry can also, of course, be understood as one way that the industry has responded to negative publicity (in particular, the high-profile cases of sexual harassment, sexual assault and gender-based discrimination that have captured public attention) and economic opportunity (targeting female viewers).
While this (re)newed interest in women's filmmaking has been enabled by cine-feminisms to what extent and in what ways does – or can – it create opportunities for feminist teaching and research in the academy? What place does cine-feminism have in the academy today? When, where and how does it shape and inform how both film history and film theory are understood and taught and how questions of authorship, genre, performance, intermediality, and industry are explored? In the shifting university sector, are there particular issues that cine-feminist work bumps up against in terms of syllabus design, recognition of engagement and outreach, research funding and publications?
We invite proposals on any area related to cine-feminisms/film feminisms, including but not limited to:
Contemporary and historical cine- and media feminisms
Feminist screen theories and pedagogy
"Doing" feminist screen studies
Feminist cine-activisms – on screen, online, in press, on the streets
Diverse feminist screen cultures in the digital age

The Great Bear Rainforest
"The Midcoast Timber Supply Area" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Before the 21-million-acre wilderness on the North and Central Coast of British Columbia was named the Great Bear Rainforest it had a name that evoked far less emotion. If this area was going to be protected, it would need a rebranding.
The Great Bear Rainforest is huge – about the size of Ireland. It stretches along British Columbia's coast and is part of the largest coastal temperate rainforest in the world, the Pacific Temperate Rainforest Ecoregion.
In February 2016, the Great Bear Rainforest was officially recognized by the Province of British Columbia and the province announced an agreement of global significance that would see 85% of the old-growth forests in the region protected permanently from industrial logging. This collaborative agreement between the Government of B.C., First Nations, environmental groups, and forest industry was the first of its kind in Canada and set a precedent for endangered forests around the world. Click here for more information on the Great Bear Rainforest Agreement. Also in 2016, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, visited and unveiled a plaque in the forest acknowledging its admission into the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy.
Regardless of the name, within this area, the relatively mild climate, high precipitation and limited human development have resulted in a long-lasting ecosystem with a larger biomass per hectare than many tropical rain forests. The region is rich in bio-diversity and a great deal of this richness is due to the connection of the land to the sea. The web of life in the rainforest connects the world below the surface of the water to the world above and here, these worlds help each other to thrive.
A foggy morning in October
The Great Bear Rainforest is characterized by some of the oldest and largest trees on Earth. These coniferous trees get by on less sunlight than leafy trees and can live for more than 1500 years and grow to 90 metres in height. The western red cedar is one of the most iconic trees in the region. Among coastal First Nations it is the most widely used due to its versatility, rot-resistance and light weight wood. Fibres are used to make clothing, wood to build and the fragrant oils are used medicinally. Much of the nitrogen in these massive beauties that grow along salmon rivers comes from the nutrients in salmon that seep into the forest floor as salmon decay after being pulled from the rivers to be feasted upon in these ancient forests.
The lush coniferous forests of the Great Bear are reflected below the surface of the Great Bear Sea in the form of massive kelp forests. These underwater forests produce a huge amount of oxygen and take on carbon dioxide in the marine environment as well as calm the waters of the intertidal zones providing a haven for countless species from the swells and making these forests some of the most dynamic and productive ecosystems on Earth.
One of the most important animals to the health of the Great Bear Rainforest is the salmon. Pacific salmon are made up of 5 species: coho, chinook (spring/king), chum, sockeye, and pink all of which can be found in different parts of the region flooding rivers, creeks and streams every year during the spawn. Their fateful journey from salt water to fresh does not go unnoticed by predators near and far. Whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, eagles, wolves and bears feast on the determined fish as they try to make the journey to spawn in the very waters they emerged from. Some are caught before they spawn, their bodies will feed the forest and its inhabitants, but others make it through the gauntlet to spawn in their home waters. This is where their journey will end as no Pacific salmon make it back to sea. They may stay to protect their nests but soon their bodies will also feed the forest. This is especially important for the most iconic animals of the region: bears. Salmon have very important fat stores that bears will need to make it through the long winter.
Although the Great Bear Rainforest abounds with life and is home to whales, wolves, mountain goats, cougars, bald eagles, mink, deer, sea lions, foxes, and many, many more, no animal is as iconic here as the bear. Grizzly bears and black bears reside in the Great Bear Rainforest but the bear that has become a true icon for the region is the Kermode bear or Spirit bear. This near-white bear is a genetic variation of a black bear and is the official provincial mammal of BC. It can be found only in the Great Bear Rainforest and is very rare and elusive. This recessive gene appears in one in ten cubs in some parts of the region and, thanks to their light colour, make them far less visible in the water and are superior salmon hunters as a result. These sacred bears exist no where else in the world and are a huge reason why conservation of the Great Bear Rainforest is paramount.
For tens of thousands of years BC's coastal First Nations have occupied the region and been the stewards of this land. Over 27 First Nations groups call the Great Bear Rainforest home and have worked hard to protect and care for the land and sea. The intentional introduction of small pox in the 1860s ravaged coastal communities wiping out whole families and communities along with their stories. Residential schools also plagued the region. Government agents forcibly removed children from their communities and attempted to erase the ancestral languages and cultures of the coast. Many initiatives are now in place to preserve language and culture in coastal communities and in order to protect this way of life, the region must stay protected.

david bohm books
A corporation is organized as a system — it has this department, that department, that department… they don't have any meaning separately; they only can function together. David Bohm's Scientific Papers and Journal Articles. In Part II, Professor Bohm addresses the mathematical formulation of the quantum theory, examining wave functions, operators, Schrödinger's equation, fluctuations, correlations, and eigenfunctions. The photographs introduce the reader to a direct and non-verbal expression of the problems brought about by the patterns of daily living and the fundamental similarity of human beings everywhere regardless of their technological level. It is indispensable reading for anyone with a serious interest in the interpretation of quantum theory." – John Polkinghorne, "You will be very impressed by this wise and deep book that will certainly broaden your horizens and start you thinking about many things you thought you were sure of." – Science, "This book disturbs the reader, because the profound originality of its thinking differs so much from mainstream physics and from what the new age has made of physics. "Bohm is a tremendously exciting thinker, and this is undoubtedly a book of the first importance." – Colin Wilson, "One of the most important books of our times." – Resurgence. In this classic, David Bohm was the first to offer us his causal interpretation of the quantum theory. 1 — David Bohm's Introduction to J. Krishnamurti. This 90 page book was published in 1976. A close colleague of Einstein's at Princeton University after World War II, Bohm would himself go on to become one of the great physicists of the twentieth century. Bohr didn't answer, but Pauli liked it. Stepping back from dense theoretical and scientific detail in this eye, Unfolding Meaning: A Weekend of Dialogue with David Bohm, ( And therefore the world is not made by putting together the various "things" in it, but, rather, these things are only approximatelywhat we find on analysis in certain contexts and under suitable conditions.", "Of exceptional importance. In the case of observing the body, you can tell that observation is somehow taking place – even when there is no sense of a distinct observer. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, and achieve a renewed sense of purpose. Download Science, Order, and Creativity by David Bohm in PDF EPUB format complete free. Tracing the history of science from Aristotle to Einstein, from the Pythagorean theorem to quantum mechanics, the authors offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. David Bohm Wholeness and the Implicate Order London and New York. Yet for Bohm the implications of the theory were far more revolutionary both in scope and impact even than this. The ideas I discuss in this book emerged out of work done first in association with physicist David Bohm beginning in the early 1980s and, later, at MIT's Center for Organizational Learning. Here is a quick description and cover image of book Science, Order, and Creativity written by David Bohm which was published in 1987-10-1. • "Bohm's Alternative to Quantum Mechanics", David Z. Albert, Scientific American (May, 1994) In this classic work he develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. This kind of overall way of thinking is not only a fertile source of new theoretical ideas: it is needed for the human mind to function in a generally harmonious way, which could in turn help to make possible an orderly and stable society. Conversations with scientists and "sages" such as Hawking, Bohm, Sheldrake, Prigogine, the Dalai Lama, Father Bede Griffiths and Krishnamurti about the unity underlying experience. Parts IV and V explore the methods of approximate solution of Schrödinger's equation and the theory of scattering. That system not only includes thought and feelings, but it includes the state of the body; it includes the whole of society — as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times. Einstein sent me a message that he'd like to talk with me. He also had a deep interest in human communication and creativity. The Special Theory of Relativity (1965) The Special Theory of Relativity. The MIT Press is a leading publisher of books and journals at the intersection of science, technology, and the arts. David Bohm eBooks. Moreover, it may turn out that such a form of free exchange of ideas and information is of fundamental relevance for transforming culture and freeing it of destructive misinformation, so that creativity can be liberated. The Limits of Thought: Discussions between J. Krishnamurti and David Bohm, ( DB: In a way, we do have knowledge, because we have seen that this whole structure of psychological knowledge makes no sense, that it is inconsistent and has no meaning. K: Yes, emptiness in which there is no movement of thought as psychological knowledge. Paperback In the mid of 1951, David Bohm released his first book titled Quantum Theory which is still regarded as the most influential book in the science department. Read 79 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. ). One of the foremost scientists and thinkers of our time, David Bohm worked alongside Oppenheimer and Einstein. 38 We have tried everything – fasting, every kind of discipline – to get rid of the `me' with all its knowledge and illusions. "The entire universe must, on a very accurate level, be regarded as a single indivisible unit in which separate parts appear as idealisations permissible only on a classical level of accuracy of description. Wholeness and the Implicate Order book. Thus far we have only begun to explore the possibilities of dialogue in the sense indicated here, but going further along these lines would open up the possibility of transforming not only the relationship between people, but even more, the very nature of consciousness in which these relationships arise. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company. 98 ), Never before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses and societies. It is always the same. 17 (Perhaps we could say that this is what is involved in harmony between the 'left brain' and the 'right brain'). It is finished. Helix Books Addison-Wesley, Reading Massachusetts. The group thus begins to engage in a new dynamic relationship in which no speaker is excluded, and in which no particular content is excluded. The creative impulse is instinctive to everyone, but its revolutionary potential is rarely realised. Quite. DB: But generally people feel they must keep knowledge in one area to be able to question it in another. We see Bohm and Krishnamurti explore the nature of consciousness and the condition of humanity. There's a problem loading this menu right now.

We have the emptiness. Can you picture that? Buy David Bohm eBooks to read online or download in PDF or ePub on your PC, tablet or mobile device. Throughout the text, Professor Bohm places strong emphasis on showing how the quantum theory can be developed in a natural way, starting from the previously existing classical theory and going step by step through the experimental facts and theoretical lines of reasoning which led to replacement of the classical theory by the quantum theory. The Limits of Thought is a series of penetrating dialogues between the great spiritual leader, J. Krishnamurti and the renowned physicist, David Bohm. We can therefore say that this notion of "I" cannot be entirely wrong, or it probably would never have arisen. Something went wrong. It gradually emerged that something more important was actually involved — the awakening of the process of dialogue itself as a free flow of meaning among all the participants. The Special Theory of Relativity (Routledge Classics), ( For, he argues, its success depends upon the individual's ability to jolt the workaday mind into a dynamic state that enables true creativity and originality to become possible. The solution of this problem depends essentially on the use of a number of levels of abstraction, all properly related to each other. Along the way, Krishnamurti and Bohm explore a person's relationship to society and offer new insights on human thought, death, awakening, self realization, and the problem of the fragmented mind. In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity that transformed forever the way we think about time and space. Clearly we have not touched the deeper causes of our troubles. The Ending of Time also refers to the wrong turn humanity has taken—a state that they argue can be corrected. Although quantum physics is considered the soundest physical theory, its strange and paradoxical features have challenged - and continue to challenge - even the brightest thinkers. First published in 1995. Evidently, it was essential to inquire deeply into the root of this difficulty if there is ever to be a possibility that humanity will be diverted from its present very dangerous course. For both the rich and the poor, life is dominated by an ever growing current of problems, most of which seem to have no real and lasting solution. In that way, thought may become proprioceptive. He was the Professor of theoretical physics at London University 1961 - 1986. A genuine philosophy of nature, written by a physicist." – Hibbert Journal, "Bohm's ideas deserve careful study… Through the stimulus it will provide for the thoughtful investigation of some of the most searching questions of modern physical science, this book serves a very useful purpose." – Physics Today, "Bohm's challenging book perhaps marks the beginning of a retreat from high-flown obscurantism and a return to common sense in science." – Scientific American. Rev, in 1952, two papers, using a particle and a wave, the causal interpretation I called it. First published in 1987. Chapter 4 features a discussion between Maurice Pryce and David Bohm. Thought has been constantly evolving and we can't say when that system began. … So there is proprioception in the body – the distinction between actions which originate in the body, and those which originate outside, is perceived as a functional difference. ), In these inspiring lectures David Bohm explores Albert Einstein's celebrated Theory of Relativity that transformed forever the way we think about time and space. Similarly, thought is a system. I would say that thought makes what is often called in modern language a system. We do not know of its contents and we are trying to obtain a copy of it. My first acquaintance with Krishnamurti's work was in 1959 when I read his book The First and Last Freedom. In this classic work David Bohm, writing clearly and without technical jargon, develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of existence as an unbroken whole. There is what is called proprioception, or "self-perception". Born on December 20, 1917, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he went on to join Robert Oppenheimer's famous group of physicists in Berkeley, California. From this it is always possible in principle to obtain an invariant notion as to what is actually going on. Infinite Potential: The Life and Times of David Bohm. It could be that it will in the course of time disturb also the course of physics." – Network, "An important, forward-looking book." – New Scientist. In the beginning, people were expressing fixed positions, which they were tending to defend, but later it became clear that to maintain the feeling of friendship in the group was much more important than to hold any position. It was probably very simple thought before civilization, and now it has become very complex and ramified and has much more incoherence than before. First published 1980 by Routledge & Kegan Paul First published in Routledge Classics 2002 by … About this book This authoritative biography addresses the life and work of the quantum physicist David Bohm. Please try your request again later. Through the examination of a totality or whole system, Bohm suggests that we may learn more than by examining its parts. Therefore it would be wrong and misleading to break it up into my thought, your thought, my feelings, these feelings, those feelings. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumpt, ( What particularly aroused my interest was his deep insight into the question of the observer and the observed. David Bohm was a theoretical physicist who made significant contributions in several different fields. The question is: how does this natural, useful distinction turn into the contrdictions of the ego? The Ending of Time is a series of important and enlightening dialogues in which Jiddu Krishnamurti and Dr. David Bohm—men from vastly different backgrounds in philosophy and physics, respectively—debate profound existential questions that illuminate the fundamental nature of existence, probing topics such as insight, illusion, awakening, transcendence, renewal, morality, the temporal, and the spiritual. Addressed primarily to advanced undergraduate students, the text begins with a study of the physical formulation of the quantum theory, from its origin and early development through an analysis of wave vs. particle properties of matter. It has the same fault as the fault I'm trying to look at, or a similar fault. 18 Is it possible for thought similarly to observe itself, to see what it is doing, perhaps by awakening some other sense of what thought is, possibly through attention? For a scientist to discover something new, he must have a certain emptiness from which there will be a different perception. This is a remarkable and life-affirming book by one of the most far-sighted thinkers of modern tim. Society is a system in some sense. This is represented in a higher level of abstraction, for example, by imagining space containing the disk and the observer himself, in which both are represented in their proper relationships. The Ending of Time is a series of important and enlightening dialogues in which Jiddu Krishnamurti and Dr. David Bohm—men from vastly different backgrounds in philosophy and physics, respectively—debate profound existential questions that illuminate the fundamental nature of existence, probing topics such as insight, illusion, awakening, transcendence, renewal, morality, the temporal, and the spiritual. This superb text by David Bohm, formerly Princeton University and Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts that have evolved outside and beyond classical theory. This revised and expanded edition of the first booklet of the same name is intended to serve both as a practical working Human beings are out of balance according to Bohm, and the way out is through a radical re-examination of the thinking process. The two dialogues which appear in this book took place three years after a series of thirteen similar dialogues between Krishnamurti and David Bohm, which appeared in the book "The Ending of Time." The starting point for the discussions is the question: "What is the future of humanity?" This question is by now of vital concern to everyone, because modern science and technology are clearly seen to have opened up immense possibilities of destruction. David Bohm's Work in the Sciences and Philosophy. But he was still not convinced it was a satisfactory theory." – David Bohm, "Well, I had several conversations with Einstein. 20 But "my" thought is part of the system. People are no longer primarily in opposition, nor can they be said to be interacting, rather they are participating in this pool of common meaning which is capable of constant development and change. But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent — not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence.

As a Chicagoan, it's crucial that you make use of every proper summer afternoon that you get, so when you head to the beach it's best to have a plan of attack. Yes, there will be sand and water, but there are many, many more things you can do on the shore of Lake Michigan (Fire pits! Kite surfing! Fried chicken deliveries!). This guide will brief you on the best spots for 29 Chicago beach activities you should be taking advantage of, none of which are that ungodly bike cart thing.
Chicago's fire codes have been pretty strict ever since most of the city burned down that one time, but this park's fire pits allow you to (legally) host a proper bonfire for s'mores with a view.
If you like drum circles and guys wielding flaming whips then the Full Moon Fire Jam is your kind of party.
Kites are basically the only things flying above the former site of Meigs Field these days; if you can't get it up, ask for a hand from the Illinois Kite Enthusiasts who regularly take advantage of the area's unimpeded winds.
If you want to graduate to a kite that can get you off the ground, kitesurfing is restricted to a couple local beaches, and you need to be certified before you can take off near unsuspecting beach-goers.
Work those guns and show them off to the tanning masses at the premiere spot for volleyball in the city. Groups like Chicago Sport & Social and Players Sport & Social Group run leagues on the beaches, especially during the week, but you can head over anytime to join a pickup game or rent equipment to start your own.
Prove to everyone that you understand how topspin works as you hit the courts in this park named after tennis champion Arthur Ashe.
Channel your inner Rodney Mullen (or whatever character in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater you played as).
Just a short walk from 12th Street Beach, the harbor is famous for being home to salmon, trout, and even some bass that can be snagged while standing on the shore.
On those days when you just can't wait to get away, head to the beach, rent a chair and an umbrella, and catch a couple winks while the waves crash onto the shore.
Get up early -- or stay up late -- to catch the sun rising over Lake Michigan, and wander around to see one of the best views of the skyline with an extra splash of color.
The Evanston Chicken Shack, one of our favorite chicken joints in the area, will deliver deep-fried goodness to the beach. Chow down and do your best Jaws impersonation.
Palateros work hard dragging their carts across the sands, so the least you can do is buy something cold and delicious from them. In case you don't know, paletas are fruit popsicles often made fresh in Chicago.
You'll need to step away from the sand, but grilling is permitted at some beaches, usually on the grassy areas farther away from the shore. If you're using charcoal, be sure to deposit your used bricks in the hot-coal containers so people don't step on them with their bare feet.
Explore the "Magic Hedge" at the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, famous for attracting a wide range of birds as they pass through the area.
Bring your own dog or watch others' pooches as they cut loose on their very own beach.
Chicago SUP Yoga takes balance exercise onto the waves by holding yoga classes on top of paddleboards on Lake Michigan.
This beach is popular with triathletes because it uniquely faces North, making it possible to swim (in dedicated lanes) parallel with the shore and stay in shallower waters.
While the beach near Promontory Point does technically allow deep-water swimming, lifeguards get nervous when you head into darker waters, so pros say having a chat before diving in can help avoid any hassles.
Danceprov brings together improv games and lip-syncing to give adults a chance to cut loose, meet new people, and have some fun.
The folks behind Spring Awakening are bringing a new beachside dance music festival to Chicago, including headliners Empire of the Sun and Passion Pit.
Five beaches now offer high-speed Internet access, so bring the office to the beach if you really have to. Don't forget to grab an umbrella to keep glare off your screen.
Test your mettle against the regulars who frequent the boards at Chicago's only chess pavilion. Drop the name "Kasparov" a bunch.
Get a quick nine holes in before soaking up even more sun at the beach at this country club bought and restored by the city.
This trapeze school sets up outdoors so you can truly feel like you're flying -- just watch out for seagulls.
With a FlyBoard, jets of water propel you into the air like Iron Man -- no metal suit required.
There are all kinds of water transports available to rent, most of which require a driver's license to pilot, including motor boats, sailboats, Jet Skis, and waverunners. The smaller crafts are more manageable and don't require a special license to drive.
Get some exercise and check out the lake from water level.
Jet Ski rentals at 31st Street Beach include a GoPro camera so you can document all that sweet air you get, or find out how that figure 8 whipped you into the water and out of your swimsuit.


Lusso presents this beautifully built, adult owned Factory Five MK4 1965 AC Cobra in a stunning Grabber Blue with satin black accent finish. The Cobra was built by Modern Motorworks, a certified Factory Five builder out in Arizona, and was used as a showcase vehicle. With just over 1000 miles since the completion of the project in 2015, this Cobra has been babied throughout its life and has never seen a racetrack. Power is generated by a thunderous sounding rebuilt Ford 306ci engine and features AFR 165 aluminum heads, custom FTI cam, and a Holly 750 carb mounted on top of a Edelbrock Air GAP manifold. Exhaust is pushed out through a set of BBK headers, and Ceramic coated side pipes. The power and noise is transferred through smooth shifting Tremac TKO500 5 speed transmission making 330WHP or roughly 380Bhp . Front suspension consists of all Factory Five adjustable arms and coilovers. The rear features a Eaton posi inside a Ford 8.8" Rear end with a 3.73 gear and 31 Spline Moser Axles which is held in place by the Factory Five 4 Link setup. The braking is supplied by Mustang disc brakes on all 4 corners, and traction is provided by a set of Satin Black Halibrand style 17" Inch wheels wrapped in Sticky Nitto Tires. Simplicity is the key component for the build and resonates in the interior which features Autometer full functioning gauges placed into the 3D carbon wrapped dashboard, Sparco Steering and Simpson latch style safety 5 point harnesses. The Cobra was also fitted with a heater box for the cold Sunday Morning Cars and Coffee drives! The gorgeous MK4 came to us locally from Modern Motorworks and is titled as a 1965 Cobra, and serves as a as gorgeous example of why Factory Five is known as one of the best component car builders in the world, with not only race proven, strong chassis designs and but phenomenal body finishes.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease which affects the central nervous system.
MS literally means "scar tissue in multiple areas".
The cause of MS is not known but scientists believe that it is triggered by a combination of factors.
MS is not infectious or contagious.
MS may occur at any age but it is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40.
Most forms of MS are more likely to affect women than men.
The symptoms of the disease vary from problems with vision or sensation to mobility or coordination. In some cases MS can cause pain, speech disturbances or emotional impairment. Fatigue or unusual tiredness is also very common.
MS is sometimes referred to as a snowflake disease because it manifests itself differently in each individual.
As yet there is no known cure for MS; however with current medical treatment, people with this disease live much longer than before.
The Society improves the lives of the patients with MS by subsidising different types of therapy, mostly physiotherapy. It raises funds by organising fund raising activities and events. Your kindness and generosity will help these patients.

TMUN attends McMUN 2015
By Julie Eldridge on February 2, 2015
(Left to Right): Julie Eldridge, Maia Phillips, Alex McKee, Hailey Krolyk
McMUN 2015 (McGill Model United Nations) was an amazing experience that Trent Model United Nations (TMUN) is very proud to have taken part in.
Coming together with so many dedicated students from across North America was truly inspiring, and the competition mixed with camaraderie made for a unique opportunity to meet new people.
During the conference, the delegates from Trent University had the opportunity to work with students from Harvard, Princeton, and from across Canada, coming from as far away as the University of Calgary. This conference emphasized skills in public speaking, problem-solving and teamwork, and for a first-time MUN participant such as myself, it was a thrilling foray into international relations.
Our delegation was very proud to represent Trent University on such a visible stage, and we were able to meet some wonderful people including Christian Kastrop (the Director of the Policy Studies branch at the Economics Department for The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), who had just 'stopped by' to McMUN on his way home from a G20 Summit!
The networking opportunities were endless, the first-hand knowledge of the inner workings of the UN was priceless, and the fun and friends were infinite! In fact, the only part of McMUN 2015 that came to an end was the conference itself—this memory will last forever, along with a deep commitment from all of the delegates to being a part of the global community.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn told a local Latino organization Saturday that his department will not change procedures in the wake of President Donald Trump's executive orders on immigration.
"The Milwaukee Police Department, as well as the police departments of all the major cities of the United States, do not enforce the status violations of immigration laws," Flynn told several hundred people gathered at the general assembly of Voces de la Frontera.
"It is our opinion, our strongly held belief that our responsibility is to protect the residents of our city," Flynn said. "To protect them, they must trust us, they must be willing to report crimes, they must be willing to be witnesses."
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order that seeks to toughen the federal response to undocumented immigrants. The order expands the definition of who is a criminal to be detained and targeted for deportation.

During an interview with local media, Flynn said he disagreed with Trump's directives.
"I think what they do is create a climate of fear in immigrant communities about what the role of their local police department is," Flynn said. "The role of the local police department is to protect them. That's our role. We're not here to terrify them or pull them out of their houses or pull them off their work sites to inquire as to whether or not they're legally in the United States."
"That's a federal responsibility," Flynn added. "Always has been. And I think it's certainly problematic if people are going to try to co-opt local jurisdictional responsibilities for some other set of priorities that will reduce our ability to make people safe."
Tucked in Trump's executive order is a provision to reach federal-state agreements to allow state and local law enforcement agencies to "perform the function of an immigration officer."

RELATED OPINION: Here to stay: inaugurating our resistance
Flynn said the law already allows for that under the 287 (G) Immigration and Nationality Act, which enables state and local law enforcement to enter into agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Flynn said the intent of the program was to "make it easier to do investigations of organized crime gangs or organized smuggling operations for undocumented illegal entries into the United States."
"Obviously, it would also be permissive for general enforcement," he said, adding he didn't think anyone was interested in using the program for that reason.
Flynn said he didn't know how practical it would be to train hundreds of thousands of police officers in the country for such enforcement.
"And, finally, it really is still for us inconsistent with our core mission which is to protect and serve the residents of our community," he said. "And you can't do that if you're terrifying them and trying to round them up."
On his Facebook page, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. said he would enroll his office in the 287 (G) program.
In response to an inquiry from The Associated Press, Clarke said Friday: "President Trump made it clear with his executive order on enforcement of our immigration laws. No more catch and release of criminal illegal aliens. I will assign as many deputies to this initiative as I can. It is a public safety priority."
"I will not have a Kate Steinle-type incident happen in Milwaukee County," Clarke said, a reference to the 2015 murder of Steinle, 32, who was shot and killed in San Francisco. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was deported five times previously, was arrested and charged with the murder.
"I am obligated to protect people from criminal illegal aliens as I am from all criminal predators," Clarke said. "I cannot be more clear on this."

The construction of several projects in Shenzhen - including what was to be the country's tallest tower, the 660-metre Ping An International Finance Centre – has been suspended this week after reports emerged that the quality of concrete used in these projects was compromised by cheap, untreated sea sand.
The costs involved in installing a brick paver patio or driveway are directly related to the size of the space and the type of bricks used in the project. In addition, the decision whether to install the patio yourself or hire a professional will have a significant impact on costs.
A special blend of Portland cement, sand, polymer modifiers and other additives. Excellent bonding characteristics and fast set times. 6-8 hour walk-on time, 24-hour drive-on time.
The substrate, what goes under pavers, for a 1,000sf driveway would cost more than $500, and the concrete would cost around $75. Joint sand would cost under $50. All in all, expect to pay between $6 per square foot and $8 per square foot for interlocking driveway pavers.
For your project in zip code 98104 with these options, the concrete driveway cost starts at $8.09-$9.79 per square foot. Your actual price will depend on job size, conditions, finish options you choose.
The cost and particularly the transportation cost of sand subsequently increased," Weidner says. So critical is sand to their operations that Houston-based oilfield service company Halliburton last year opened what it calls the sand "war room" to help manage the flow of billions of pounds of sand from mines to well sites across the country.
The Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, designed for the Las Vegas Sands Corp., is one of the most ambitious: The $5.7 billion, 9-million-square-foot program includes a 2,500-room hotel, convention center, casino, retail, dining, nightclubs, event plaza, and museum, all topped by the Sands SkyPark.
Like Sand, cost of cement is included in the cost of flooring and cost of wall tiling. So although home Owner never goes out to buy sand & cement, just checking with Contractor about what brand and type of cement is used becomes important.

Purpose: Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation of the cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily V, polypeptide 2 (CYP4V2) gene and characterized by retinal pigmentary abnormalities and scattered deposits of crystals in the retina and the marginal cornea. The aim of this study was to investigate the spectrum of mutations in CYP4V2 in Lebanese families, and to characterize the phenotype of patients affected with BCD.
Methods: Nine patients from three unrelated Lebanese families were clinically and molecularly investigated. Detailed characterization of the patients' phenotype was performed with comprehensive ophthalmic examination, color vision study, fundus photography, visual field testing, retinal fluorescein angiography, electroretinography, and electrooculography. One family was followed for 12 years. The 11 exons of the CYP4V2 gene were sequenced.
Results: Symptoms consisting of night blindness, loss of paracentral visual field, and disturbed color vision were apparent during the third decade of life. Ophthalmoscopy revealed posterior pole crystalline deposits and areas of retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. Fluorescein angiography disclosed geographic areas of the pigment epithelium layer and choriocapillaris atrophy in the posterior pole and fundus periphery. The most striking findings were those of normal electroretinographic responses in some patients and clinical heterogeneity. Two mutations in CYP4V2 were found: p.I111T (c.332T>C) in exon 3 in two families and the novel p.V458M (c.1372G>A) mutation in exon 9 in one family.
Conclusions: These patients are affected with Bietti crystalline dystrophy without corneal involvement. Variation in disease severity and electroretinographic responses suggests that environmental or additional genetic factors influence the course of the retinal disease. The CYP4V2 p.I111T (c.332T>C) mutant allele may be especially prevalent among patients with BCD in Lebanon, resulting from a single founder.
Bietti crystalline corneoretinal dystrophy (BCD; OMIM 210370) is a retinal degeneration first described by Bietti in 1937 [1,2]. BCD is characterized by multiple glistening intraretinal crystals scattered over the fundus, a degeneration of the retina, and sclerosis of the choroidal vessels, ultimately resulting in progressive night blindness and constriction of the visual field. Two types of BCD have been described: one with corneal crystalline deposits (one quarter to one third of patients with BCD) and a second type with no corneal involvement and no limbal crystalline deposits, called Bietti crystalline fundus dystrophy (BCD) or crystalline retinopathy . The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive, and mutations of the cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily V, polypeptide 2 (CYP4V2) gene, a novel family member of the cytochrome P450 genes widely expressed in the human heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, and most abundantly in the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium, have been reported [1-9].
BCD is a global disease that appears to be more common in individuals of Asian descent [5,10]. In the Middle East, a few cases have been reported  but none molecularly investigated.
The purpose of this paper is to report for the first time on the clinical and molecular analysis in three Lebanese families with BCD, discuss the genotype-phenotype correlations as well as expose a 12-year follow-up in one family in which a novel mutation was identified.
This study was granted approval by the Hotel-Dieu de France of Beirut Committee on Clinical Investigation and conformed to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Otherwise good health except eye findings, one Maronite and 2 Shiite unrelated Lebanese families with clinical criteria of BCD syndrome were investigated (Figure 1). Nine affected individuals were examined extensively, including a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, color vision study, fundus photos, automated and Goldmann perimetry, routine blood tests, and molecular analysis.
After informed consent was obtained from all the families, EDTA blood samples were collected, and DNA extracted on the spot for genetic studies. Eleven DNA samples were collected for this study from members of the three families (Figure 1): nine affected individuals and two parents (family 1:I-1 and I-2). DNA was extracted from lymphocytes with standard salt-precipitation method.
The CYP4V2 gene is made up of 11 exons. Intronic primers were designed using the Primer 3 software (Table 1). DNA sequences were obtained from the Human Genome Browser (UCSC database access number NM_207352) by comparing genomic DNA with cDNA sequences.
All PCR-amplified fragments of the 11 exons of CYP4V2 gene were fluorescently sequenced using an ABI 3130 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Electropherograms were compared to reference sequences using the Sequencher software v4.2 (Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI) and ChromasPro v1.5 (Technelysium, Tewantin, Australia).
Fifteen µl of the amplified product including a novel identified variant were digested with 7.5 units of the NlaIII restriction enzyme (New England Biolabs Inc., Ipswich, MA) overnight and electrophoresed on 2% agarose.
Fifteen patients were examined in total. Nine patients were affected, and the remaining six asymptomatic individuals were examined in the genetic counseling setting. The clinical findings from the nine affected patients are summarized in Table 2. Eight were female. Two were asymptomatic, three had visual complaints related to nyctalopia, and four complained of decreased visual acuity (VA). Three of the patients had blindness, while in the others, visual acuity was preserved even in severe cases since the central vision had remained normal at first particularly for near, before decreasing gradually. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in these individuals ranged from light perception to Snellen 20/20. Color vision testing using Ishihara plates ranged between normal and severe color vision deficiency. Automated visual fields when performed gave results ranging between paracentral scotoma and severe uniform alteration. The slit lamp exam did not show any corneal deposits, and the anterior segments were within normal limits in all examined patients. Fundus photos showed chorioretinal atrophy in all affected patients and crystalline deposits in some cases (Figure 2). When performed, electroretinography (ERG) remained within normal limits, and electrooculography (EOG) showed an additional decrease in the Arden ratio that was either moderately or severely affected.
Two patients from family 1 (Figure 1) were followed up for 12 years. Patient 1:II-1 initially had a BCVA of 20/40 OD and 20/25 OS in 1991. BCVA remained stable for approximately five years and began to drop progressively to reach 20/50 OU in 1999. The last follow-up examination at year 12 in 2003 showed a dramatic decrease in BCVA that became 20/120 OU with subtle changes in ocular fundoscopy where more chorioretinal atrophy and fewer crystalline deposits were noted. The cornea and anterior chamber remained normal during the entire follow-up, but small equatorial lens opacities were found in both eyes at year 1997 and remained stable afterwards. ERG was performed in 1996; results were within normal limits except for a slightly diminished maximal response whereas the EOG results showed a decrease in the Arden ratio. Patient 1:II-2 had an initial BCVA of 20/25 OU in 1991. BCVA OD remained stable during the first seven years and then dramatically dropped to 20/120 at the end of 1999 when the ocular fundus began to show more macular chorioretinal atrophy with fewer crystalline deposits. BCVA OS remained stable during the entire follow-up period reaching 20/30 in 2003. Small blue equatorial lens opacities were found in both eyes in 1999 and remained unchanged afterwards. ERG findings in 1996 were strictly normal, but the EOG showed a decrease in the Arden ratio that was more important in the left eye.
The exploration of the entire coding sequence of CYP4V2 in our series allowed identification of the causative mutation in the three families. In family 1, a novel homozygous variation, p.V458M (c.1372G>A), was found in exon 9 in the affected individuals, and at the heterozygous state in their non-affected parents (Figure 3). This mutation was confirmed with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The 550 bp amplified product was digested by NlaIII producing two fragments of 495 and 93 bp in the affected patients with an undigested product of 545 bp in the heterozygous non-affected individuals.
In families 2 and 3, a missense mutation p.I111T (c.332T>C) was found in exon 3 at the homozygous state in the affected individuals (Figure 4). Random DNA samples from 400 Lebanese chromosomes were subsequently tested for these mutations with fluorescent sequencing, and the variations were absent in all chromosomes.
Here, we report three Lebanese families with Bietti crystalline fundus dystrophy (BCD) or crystalline retinopathy. BCD affects both sexes, and the onset of features usually occurs during the third decade of life, as was the case with our patients. Night blindness and symptoms related to loss of the peripheral visual field are prominent. Color vision may also be disturbed. Even in the asymptomatic stage, retinal crystalline deposits were already readily visible . BCD has been described as a progressive disease, with a variable rate of progression as illustrated in the present families.
Functional tests can vary widely in the presence of identical morphologic changes in the fundus. In our cases, fluorescein angiography (FA) performed in the two sisters from the first family confirmed the diagnosis by revealing geographic areas of the retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris atrophy involving the macular, perimacular, and peripapillary regions in both eyes (Figure 2). ERG within the normal range, such as in the two affected sisters in F1, has rarely been reported . The most striking findings were those of the first family with two sisters having decreased visual acuity and progressive disease while maintaining a normal ERG. Usually, ERG is borderline to moderately abnormal in the localized form, and severely abnormal in the diffuse form. Abnormalities involve the photopic and scotopic systems. Researchers have suggested that cones might be less involved than rods in BCD, and that progression of BCD is consistent with a rod-cone dystrophy pattern .
The analysis of the CYP4V2 gene showed an abnormality in the three families. In family 1, a novel mutation was found: p.V458M (c.1372G>A). This variation was predicted as damaging to the protein function according to SIFT (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant) software. A 12-year follow-up showed a mild exaggeration of symptoms, with progressive and moderate visual acuity reduction with the surprising findings of normal ERGs. This suggests the existence of less severe forms of BCD related to relatively mild CYP4V2 mutations. In families 2 and 3, a previously reported mutation was found, the p.I111T (c.332T>C) . Both families denied any relation with each other. However, as the families share the same haplotype (Figure 5), we can postulate that this mutation derived from an ancestral mutation that was geographically restricted. Clinical comparison of the families did not show any phenotype-genotype correlation. Indeed, at the age of 39 and 37, patients V-2 and V-4 of family 3, respectively, presented a severe clinical phenotype; whereas patients II-3 and II-5 of family 2 aged 34 and 30, respectively, presented a less severe disease suggesting the possible involvement of genetic, epigenetic, or even environmental factors in the pathogenesis of BCD. In terms of environmental factors, lipid metabolism, and therefore diet, may play a role in the disease. Indeed, researchers have shown that CYP4V2 may play a role in fatty acid and steroid metabolism, which might be consistent with biochemical studies of patients with BCD [6,15]. Abnormal choroidal fibroblast inclusions are similar to those found in circulating lymphocytes, keratocytes, and conjunctival and skin fibroblasts . Cultured lymphocytes from patients with BCD lack two fatty acid-binding proteins of 32 and 45 kDa, in comparison to age-matched controls .
In conclusion, this study further confirms the role of CYP4V2 in the pathogenesis of BCD. We report a new mutation that is associated with a better prognosis and normal ERG. Longitudinal studies on patients with BCD may reveal further differences in the clinical phenotype and severity of the disease according to their genotype.

The Jitajita, otherwise spelt Yitayita, are an indigenous Australian people of southern New South Wales.

Language
The Yitayita spoke one of the languages of the lower Murray river group that included Dadi Dadi and Kureinji, as is distinctive for the large number of monosyllables in its vocabulary.

Name
The tribal name Jitajita is a reduplicative endonym formed from their word for 'no' (jita). Numerous tribes in the area defined themselves in terms of the negative used. Early ethnographers marveled at the variety of words for 'no' among the Riverine tribes, as an index of the differences in their languages. Peter Beveridge remarked:
Each tribes possesses a gnalla wattow or postman, who can speak and understand the dialects of all the tribes within a radius of 150 miles. The persons of these officials are held sacred, even by tribes which are at feud with their own: they therefore negotiate all matters of barter and trade policy.

Country
The Jitajita lands covered some , north of the Lachlan River from near Booligal - to vicinity of Balranald, west to Carrawathal. They appear to have been closely related to the Muthi Muthi. Their northwestern boundaries reached the edge of the Parintji domain.

Alternative names
