Manly Palmer Hall Media Archive and Memorialphentrimine
Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a Canadian-born author and mystic. He is perhaps most famous for his work The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, which is widely regarded as his magnum opus, and which he published at the age of 25 (or 27, 1928)
He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult.
Carl Jung, when writing Psychology and Alchemy, borrowed material from Hall's private collection.
In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, California, dedicating it to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems. The PRS claims to be non-sectarian and entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control, and the Society's programs stress the need for the integration of philosophy, religion, and science into one system of instruction. The PRS Library, a public facility devoted to source materials in obscure fields, has many rare and scarce items now impossible to obtain elsewhere.
In 1973 (47 years after writing The Secret Teachings of All Ages), Hall was recognized as a 33º Mason (the highest honor conferred by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at PRS on December 8th, despite never being initiated into the physical craft.
In his over 70-year career, Hall delivered approximately 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.

I read the Sectet Teachings of All Ages and have purchased a few more books by Mr. Hall. I really love the insight and in my personal search for universal truths he is amongst the top of my list. I have even purchased a copy for my neice. I share his insights with certain friends.
I just wanted you to know how great of a man I think he "is". i look forward to many years of research into his materials and hopefully be able to come by the PRS if possible. I am a strict believer of "in order to understand God you must have equal parts math, science, art/beauty and religions. Thank you for your continued efforts to enhance the understanding of man and his surroundings. Be blessed

I need his lectures to translate them. If anybody can send them to me, he will make a greate deed. But I don not need audio because it hard to translate from audio. I need texts.

I was introduced to Manly P. Hall through the video Riddles in Stone. Though the video didnt outright say that this man was evil or bad, I was left with that impression.
Since seeing that video, I had begun to study Hermetic philosophy and seeing another reference to MPH, I decided to look into who this man is and what he has done.
I now know different than my first impression. Manly P. Hall was a great man, and had done much good for the world. I am starting my reading of his Secret Teachings of All Ages and look forward to the knowledge he has shared with us all.
Thank you Mr. Hall.

Hi There -
Maybe you can help me – I've recently put together a spiritually themed film, and in one scene, one of the characters holds a copy of "The Secret Teachings of All Ages and we have included one or two quick shots of the interior of the book.
It is a low budget film and may never get distribution, but if it does, we will need to seek permission from the estate in order to keep those shots in the film. Can you direct me to whom I might seek permission from?

Jonathan, If the book is a recent publishing, you should contact the publishers. The contact information is in the inside cover. You may also want to contact Mitch Horowitz who is the one responsible for recently republishing the book. You can also reshoot the take with an old copy of the book if a mock version of one and not worry about copyright infringement.

One cannot simply pick up a copy of "secret teachings" and begin his study of universal mysteries. Mr Hall was an initiate of a discipline few even know exists, and his discourses will go completely over the heads of any not already well along in the search for God. That's as it should be, as there are natural forces accessible to man that are quite beyond even the imagination of the masses, and cannot be entrusted to the untried.
Although by no means the only one, he is arguably the most important single voice in modern times on occult matters. Properly understood his teachings are beyond revealing, they are astonishing. A required study for any who are serious about "parting the veil".

the ancient spirit of the philosphers of old were upon manly p hall"s life,and he was being used as vessel to convey this immortal wisdom to all of mankind. their are no boundaries that imprison the beautiful truths of knowlege. the mere concept and thought that lingers in every soul longs for the truth that has been veiled by the ions of time. the simple minded can not even begin to probe the mordial depths of manly p hall"s intellectual insight that he envisioned. the invisible walls that governed our natural senses are a stumbling block to those , who live without a desire to seek those things beyong the threshold of human understanding.

Freemasonry at its core as well as ALL the ancient mystery schools payed homage to and in fact worshipped the sun symbologically but in a very real way the "being" that was in fact thought of to be the bearer of light. lucifer.
Now how anyone could in fact deduce that lucifer was truly God and associated with love and other positive aspects I can only imagine but one thing is for sure he WAS the "giver" of wisdom, knowledge and understanding but he was and is the father of lies and comes as an angel of light. not surprising that he has deceived the whole world.
I know some may say that Christianity is just another type of sun worship in the form of the SON of God but it is a fact that ALL other religions and belief systems stem from the same source except TRUE christianity, not catholicism which is just the mystery schools with a cloak and facade of Christianity. TRUE christianity is the ONLY "religion" if you will, that says you CAN NOT earn your way to heaven through iniation and degrees. All others teach throught metaphysical alchemy mankind will attain Godhood.. which is highly reminiscent of wat Satan aka lucifer said in the Garden of Eden. In the form of a serpent which ALL mystery schools associated with WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE, he beguiled man and woman into believing that he could free them from the "oppresion" of God the Father by saying in Genesis 3:5; " For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
ALL OF THE LEADERS OF THE "TRUTH" MOVEMENT; TSARION, JORDAN MAXWELL, DAVID ICKE AND OTHERS SAY THAT CHRISTIANITY IS JUST BORROWED SUN WORSHIP. HARDLY TRUTH. LOOK INTO BILL COOPER AND HIS 'MYSTERY BABYLON' SERIES. IT IS A FIFTY HOUR AUDIO STUDY AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU ALL FIND IT. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AT THE TIME (EARLY 90′s) THAT SAID THAT THE MYSTERY SCHOOLS VIEW CHRISTIANITY AS A KNOCK OFF AND A PERVERSION BUT IT IS THE MYSTERY SCHOOLS THAT ARE A PERVERSION OF THE TRUTH BY THOSE IN ANTIQUITY THAT KNEW THE PROMISES GOD HAD MADE TO MAN ABOUT THE COMING MESSIAH AND SATAN WITH HIS FALLEN ANGLES INSTITUTED ALL THE VARYING SHADES OF THE MYSTERY SCHOOLS MASQUERADING AS LIGHT AND TRUTH. IF YOU WANT THE 'MYSTERY BABYLON' SERIES FEEL FREE TO ASK AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU ASAP.

I am looking for a book that teaches a person how to meditate. I feel that their are advantages in regards to a person being able to reconnect with his or her inner self. In Masonry we refer to members as travelers but I really didn't understand what "traveler" actually meant. I can assume it means being able to meditate on a level where you can project your inner self to a place that is unseen by the human eye but I don't know how to confirm it or do it. All my life I has felt spiritual connected with myself. In meaning, I feel things and are unable to fully understand how I am able to come to whatever conclusion I deem is right. I think if I was able to recieve the proper "training" that I can project myself on levels beyond the average person comprehension. I have read in several articles that the egyptians have explored or are the originators of this thought process. Anyways, what are some recommended books or training that I can recieved to accomplish this goal?

I was and am astounded by the depth of 'Secret Teachings…" As a yoga teacher at a college, I've studies a lot and practiced a lot, but no where is the encyclopedic knowledge of such variety found elsewhere. This book is so humbling in its awesome knowledge that it should be required reading in every college in the country, if for no other reason it erases the tendency toward fundamentalist – dengerous thinking. When one reads it it simply humbles the arrogant intellectual pride into accepting the mystery of it all…

MANLY PALMER HALL- ROSICRUCIAN FELLOWSHIP CONNECTION
A place of adventure and change was not what Manly Palmer Hall was
looking for when he stepped off a train in downtown Los Angeles in
the fall of 1919. For Hall, the lure of Southern California was the
chance to reunite with his mother, who had abandoned him in infancy.
The 18-year-old Canadian immigrant, who never knew his father, had
spent a confused and insecure childhood bouncing from town to town
with his maternal grandmother, Florence Palmer. They had been living
in new york City when she died suddenly, leaving Hall with little
choice but to quit his clerk's job at a Wall Street firm, leave the
city, and move into his mother's home in the beachside community of
Santa Monica.
Louise Hall, who had worked for 15 years as a chiropractic healer
in the Alaskan gold fields, shared the modest house with her second
husband, Charles Hall, a jack-of-all-trades who took her last name.
If there were hard feelings between Hall and his mother, he never
spoke of them.
Hall was raised from age 16 to 19 by a Rosicrucian group, he was
associated with a myriad of other societies, including Freemasonry,
he was also familiar with most every mystical and esoteric practice
that was ever known in the past several thousand years, and probably
some that weren't so well known.
One of the most prolific writers within the broader theosophical
movement was Max Heindel, a Christian mystic and Danish immigrant who
established a spiritual commune in 1907 on a scenic bluff called Mt.
Ecclesia in Oceanside, about 80 miles south of Los Angeles.
Dedicated to Christ Jesus, Astrology, the power of prayer and
providing an explanation for the origin, evolution and future
development of the world and man, Max Heindel's Rosicrucian Fellowship soon became a favorite vacation spot for young Hall and his mother. Their first trip to Mt. Ecclesia was in 1920, a year after Max Heindel's death. His widow, Augusta, was struck by Manly's talent as a writer, his youthful pastoral work at the Church of the People, his graciousness and his intense interest in her husband's complex books, which essentially taught that earth is a great school to which ever-volving individuals come by way of reincarnation, life after life.
At Mt. Ecclesia, Manly Palmer Hall grew so attached to Heindel's
temperamental heavy-set widow that he started calling her "mother."
Augusta Foss Heindel and her followers taught him astrology and the
fundamentals of typesetting, printing and binding.
From them, he also learned to avoid writing in longhand with an ink
pen because it siphoned off one's vitality, an admonishment he obeyed
for most of his life, preferring instead to dictate his books.
He showed her how to play backgammon, and was her connection to
prospective younger converts. together, they wrote numerous articles
for the Fellowship's newsletter, Rays from the Rosy Cross, which
compared life on the bluff to heaven on earth.
"Why does this spot seem so beautiful?" Hall wrote under the title
"Echoes from Mt. Ecclesia" in mid-1921. "There are many other places
where the stars may be seen and studied, and thousands of people
see the same glorious sunsets, and enjoy the same wonderful climate.
But there is something here that is not to be found in any other part
of the world. There is something here that is restful and different;
it seems almost like holy ground. It is because of the love that is
sent here by thousands of members and the lives of self-forgetting
service that the workers are living day by day, that makes this the
beauty spot of the earth."
On March 17, 1923, Hall was ordained a minister in the Church of the
People. A few days later, he was elected permanent pastor of the
church, and the congregation honored him with a rosicrucian-style
cross that was based on a design of his own and made of diamonds,
platinum, gold and white enamel. etched with emblems and symbols of
astrology and ancient religious schools, it represented the ideals
shared by all spiritual quests. As minister he invited Mrs. Augusta Foss Heindel to do a lecture in the Church of the People which had a great audience .
Dangling from a chain around his neck, Hall proudly wore the flashy
fist-sized cross as a symbol of spiritual authority in a state where
alternative spiritual movements were becoming significant cultural
forces.The belief in reincarnation had become especially popular.
He published at the age of 27, 1928 his work The Secret Teachings of
All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic
and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, which is widely regarded as
his magnum opus.
As a fair friend of Mrs Heindel and The Rosicrucian Fellowship he
wrote the introduction of Max Heindel's book Blavatsky and the
Secret Doctrine published in 1933 fourteen years after Max Heindel's death.
"Max Heindel was a pioneer in Christian mysticism and Madame
Blavatsky was a pioneer in Oriental occultism. Both established
systems of thinking which spread rapidly throughout a soul-hungry
humanity. Not only did they leave organizations of their own, but the
seeds which they planted in the hearts of men have sprouted forth and
borne fruit in many parts of the world, where other organizations
have been established along similar lines." (M.P.H.)
He also wrote the introduction of Augusta Foss Heindel's book
Astrology and the Ductless Glands in 1936.
"The last few years have witnessed exceptional progress in that
branch of medical science which is called endocrinology or the study
of the structure and function of the ductless glands with research
into therapeutic methods of treating derangements thereof. These
glands are now accepted as the regulators of the physical function,
the governors and directors of bodily structure, profoundly
significant not only in their physical reactions, but also their
effect upon mentality, emotion, sensory reflexes, and the so-called
spiritual or metaphysical functions. Nearly all endocrinologists
admit that the pineal gland is the most difficult to understand and
the most difficult to treat. It can now generally be reached only by
treating the other glands over which it acts in the capacity of
generalissimo. The physical functions of the glands are now fairly
well classified but there will unquestionably be much revision of the
present opinions. Physicians are willing to admit that the function
of the glands does not end merely with their effect upon the body but
scientists are not prepared to make any pronouncements beyond the
field of material reaction. It is especially significant therefore
that through a combination of clairvoyance and astrology it is
possible to examine the ductless glands and discover the metaphysical
elements in their functioning. The modern clairvoyant uses the same
method for his work as was used by the initiate priests of the
ancient world, and like those older adepts he makes contributions to
the sum of knowledge which are only discoverable to the materialist
after centuries of ponderous experimentation.
(…) The work which follows is a spiritual record of the function of
the pituitary body and pineal gland. I feel that the researches
carried on by Mrs. Max Heindel are a definite contribution to the
subject of endocrinology that should be preserved for the use of all
students of medicine and the occult sciences."(M.P.H.)
He has been widely recognized as a leading scholar in the fields of
religion, mythology, mysticism, and the occult.
Carl Jung, when writing Psychology and Alchemy, borrowed material
from Hall's private collection.
In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los
Angeles, California, dedicating it to an idealistic approach to the
solution of human problems. The PRS claims to be non-sectarian and
entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control,
and the Society's programs stress the need for the integration of
philosophy, religion, and science into one system of instruction. The
PRS Library, a public facility devoted to source materials in obscure
fields, has many rare and scarce items now impossible to obtain
In 1973 (47 years after writing The Secret Teachings of All Ages),
Hall was recognized as a 33º Mason (the highest honor conferred by
the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite), at a ceremony held at PRS
on December 8th, despite never being initiated into the physical
craft.
In his over 70-year career, Hall delivered approximately 8,000
lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and
essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.

In the garden, God had said if you eat the fruit you will die and they did not die.
Instead they opened their eyes and knew good and evil. Adam did hear God saying, 'they have eaten the fruit and become like us.
Mind has the potential for both: good and evil.
It is up to the human to refrain from the extremes and create balance on the path towards immortality.
It is good to go through Mystery Babylon series.'

I have been a member/singer/office administrator at the Church of Truth in Pasadena for the past 25 years. We just celebrated the Church's 85th Anniversary. I was delighted to hear from some of the out of state, and local, long term members about some history of this Church that I was not aware of. I did not know that Manly Hall spoke there many times and even had a weekly men's group. Paramanhansa Yogananda spoke there at least once. Our founder, Dr. Albert Grier, was a contemporary of Ernest Holmes, Many Hall and others.
We recently re-published a book by Dr. Grier called "The Truth Way". We edited very little of the antiquated language of the time, but left most every word as it was written. We also have a book by his daughter, Gladys Grier called "Foundation Stones of Truth".
I am so glad I found this and other sites about these great teachers and leaders of the new thought movement.

between manly p hall and allan watts and joseph cambel and blavatsky and anything out of the theosophical society and other gnosis. I have learned to know nothing and have started to see with out the fog of mind. through them i am taming my eidolon ,ahamkara, opponent, ego or simply internal noise.
what is taught by these and others, the universal gnosis is not anything to learn, its a dying of self and waking of. . . . tat tvam asi
the most terrifyingly beautiful experience of which every time i touch it, i become more consumed by the light.

this is no comment, but a question:
I listened to Manly P. Halls videos on youtube and found out, that there is no material translated to german. I started to make a transcription of "The Atlatean Hypothesis" and translated the first part in german. My question: Are there any transcripts in english availiable frome this theme?

All the info in the world,no matter how profound,is useless to the individual if seen through closed eyes,leaving only subjective opinion evidenced by the conflicting sects in religion today.
Personal awakening through the death of the ego is the only way to knowledge
(Gnosis). Know thyself and you shall know the universe and it's gods.
People such as M.P.H. can lead you to water but can't make you drink.
The path of the razor's edge must be walked alone.
Many will show interest in these matters,few will walk the walk.
When the disciple is ready the Master appears.
Practical instruction is available,online even,showing how to disolve the ego from
moment to moment.If you're ready then you'll find it and understand it.

Facebook research shows 'haha' is more popular than 'lol'
Adam Westlake - Aug 10, 2015, 9:16 am CDT
Facebook has revealed data with a surprising result about how users express laughter these days: "haha" and similar variations are used more than the iconic "lol." The social network analyzed user comments and posts and found that "haha" accounted for 51.4% of laughter expressions. The laughing emoji was next, with 33.8%, followed by "hehe" at 13.1%. Finally, at the very bottom, was "lol" with only 1.9%. Such a steep fall for an expression that still feels like we see everywhere.
Breaking down the data, Facebook revealed several graphs that shows how laughter terms were spread across different age groups. The youngest ages have a preference for emoji, while "lol" was the most popular among older users — a sign the term has outlived its popularity? Meanwhile, "haha" and "hehe" were used most by those in between. As for gender, emoji found more use women, "haha" had a small male bias, and "hehe" was pretty much equal.
Facebook's data also went into detail on some of the variants, finding that repeating "ha"s are more indicative of stronger levels of laughter, like "hahahahahahaha" for example. While the letters can stack up, the four letter "haha" and "hehe" were the most common, however "lol" was almost always used by itself, with no repetition.
In 50% of the cases when emoji were used, a character is only used once, with more than five of the same emoji being used consecutively being very rare. This bit of data seems to differ greatly from Instagram, which earlier this year found comments are often dominated by nothing but emoji. If the two studies were combined and analyzed, it would likely be pretty indicative of how people will be expressing laughter for some time. On the internet, at least.

If you are an avid blog reader, you may have seen the Tour Through Blog Land going on on many different blogs. Basically, I give you a quick tour of my home and answer a few questions. I in turn nominate another blogger so that you can stop over and see their home as well!
I am so excited to do this because I just love the blogging community. They are the most welcoming, helpful bunch of women (sorry, haven't met a male yet!) that I have ever been a part of. They are motivating and inspirational and it is just a wonderful thing to belong to.
So a big thank you to Amy from One Artsy Mama who nominated me. I love all the crafts on her page. Stop on over and check her out!
So a little about my blog if you are new! I am a teacher and mom and started this blog in late January of this year. In such a short time, I have really fallen in love with blogging. I love sharing my recipes and DIY projects here with you. It is amazing to watch a project or recipe you love spread across the internet and it is so fulfilling to see that people are actually reading what you have to say!
Now on to the tour!
Welcome to my home! It is over a 100 years old and is in an old coal mining community that is rich with history and is a wonderful place to live. We moved here just over a year ago and are settling in. We are doing our best to make this house feel like our home.
Our foyer has plagued me from the beginning. It is so large, so I wanted it to be a functional use or space but still be welcoming and open. We do not use this as our main entrance since this door is original to the house and there is no key for it! To make this space function better, we added a closet in the corner. I just recently purchased these curtains and the rug from HomeGoods, which has been the finishing touches on finally making this space complete! I can add this room to the very small list of rooms that are actually finished!
Our Living Room gets a lot of use! This is where my daughter plays and we spend most of our time!
We have this beautiful set of pocket doors that looks into our dining room.
The dining room is probably the room in the house that has seen the least amount of work. We plopped down our furniture and called it a day. I would love to get a bigger table, paint the walls, and get roman shades for the windows. The walls aren't really this green in person! It was very sunny when I took these pictures!
Our dining room and kitchen are separated by a swinging door. The kitchen is the heart of our home so I think that whether it is finished or not, I should share it here!
I love this kitchen because it is so large and there is so much cabinetry. While the counter tops and cabinets are not really my style, they are in good shape and function well for us for the time being. We have updated this space by replacing the appliances, painting the door a brighter color, and removing the ¨mud room" that the previous owner had in the kitchen hallway.
And finally, I have to share our basement bathroom because it makes the short list of rooms that are completely done.
We built this bathroom pretty much from scratch and are really proud of how it turned out!
For more information on our bathroom and to see the before and afters, go here!
On to the Blog Land Tour Questions!
1.) What are you working on right now? Since we just finished up the bathroom reno, we haven't started on any big projects yet. I have been working hard on decorating for fall and doing some small DIY projects like building shelves and transforming an old beat up night stand!
2.) How does your work differ from others in the genre? I feel like I have two genres since I do both food and DIY, so I guess that makes me unique! My ultimate goal for this blog is to only create things, both recipes and crafts, that I think anyone could do. I don't publish anything that I don't think others could whip up for dinner! So this will never be the blog where you see a recipe for an overly complicated eight layer cake! And because I have a never ending list of things I want to do, I try to do everything myself for the least amount of money. The less money I spend on a project, the more I can do, right??
3.) Why do you write and create what you do? I write because I find it is such a fulfilling outlet. I have always loved to write and growing up, I always said I would be a writer. Crafting and cooking has become a passion of mine and without it, I would feel like something was missing. I truly enjoy cooking and creating and don't think I would survive some days without having a creative outlet.
4.) How does your writing and creative process work? My creative process isn't very structured! I often don't have a plan for my projects (for example when I decided to single handedly rip the carpet out of our upstairs bedroom one afternoon) I just do whatever I am in the mood for. On the other hand, some projects I plan for weeks before starting by doing tons of research, so I can't say that I have a set process. Some days it is methodical and others it is all over the place. Since I work and also have a little one running around, I try to squeeze in as much as I can during nap time and whenever I get a free moment or two.
I am so glad to have joined in this tour through blog land! I now nominate Sarah from On The Way Home to join us next on this tour! I hope you stop by her blog next Monday to see her home and check out her blog! Thank you for joining me!
Love the updates! Looks great. By the way I love the windows surrounding your front door.
Thank you Leah! I love those too! They are beautiful when the sun streams through them!

Home/Gossips/"Life without cheating is a myth, it doesn't exist," Affan Waheed
"Life without cheating is a myth, it doesn't exist," Affan Waheed
Pakistan's emerging heartthrob Affan Waheed who had earned enough name and fame for himself through his recent drama serial 'Do Bol' have attended 'Rewind with Samina Pirzada'.
The young actor has spilled some truth beans of his life while talking to Samina Pirzada. There is a lot more going on in the life of celebrities, some tensions depression just like us.
The actor has shared details about his childhood life and the bond he possesses with his siblings.
During the gupshup, the actor has been asked by Samina on the subject of cheating, to which he has replied, "Life without cheating is a myth, and it doesn't exist."
According to him, there should be a little cheating in life because without cheating life doesn't exist. Probably Samina was referring to his character as Badar in his super hit drama serial 'Do Bol' where he has practiced some cheating to get Gaiti on his side.
Rewind with Samina peerzada.
A post shared by Affan Waheed (@affanwaheedofficial) on May 7, 2019 at 8:50am PDT
Through this talk show, we have actually got to know that Affan is a good cook as well. During his interview with Samina, he has mentioned how he has developed an interest in cooking and he can even cook everything now.
"I am a pretty good cook and can cook almost everything."
On the subject of his divorce, the actor just opened up in these words.
"I remember one day (after the divorce) I was going home and I felt happy like somebody had colored my black and white life. That's when I felt I had moved on from my divorce, it was a bad one."

A post shared by Affan Waheed (@affanwaheedofficial) on Mar 3, 2018 at 7:32am PST
He gave credit to his siblings for getting out of depression and fighting all this.
His father has supported him throughout his life. Affan who has often seemed to us as a private man who rarely shared details of his personal life has opened up like this on a TV show. He further stated,
"If it was any other show, I would not have talked about my fears and regrets and anything of the sort, I don't know why I felt like pouring my heart out as I came here."

Q: What controls timeout of COM calls? Our software can communicate over COM with Excel. An example is that Excel calls a COM function which causes our software to respond with results. However, if it takes our software more than around 3 minutes to calculate those results then the COM reference is dropped for some reason.
Is this just the nature of COM (to timeout if it doesn't receive a response to a call after a certain time) or are we doing something wrong?

A: COM doesn't have in-call timeout. If you start a call and the server enters an infinite loop while handling it the call lasts forever unless there's a communication problem between the client and the COM server.
However there're timeouts for network connection problems. With the symptoms you describe it looks like some communication problem.

Gyles' Quay is an isolated stretch of beach located 1 km south of the R173/R175 road on the Cooley Peninsula in the north of County Louth in Ireland. It was named after Ross Gyles who built a wood structure there in 1780. It was later rebuilt in stone in 1824 and survives to this day.

The long isolated beach with accessible hinterland made it very attractive to smugglers who used the beach for importing wine and tobacco. In 1823 the authorities constructed a coastguard watch station to limit the illegal imports. Today tourists are drawn to the area for the long beach expanse and the caravan park located overlooking the area.

Transport
Gyles Quay Halt railway station opened on 7 July 1935 and finally closed on 1 January 1952.

What about you personally? Are you a musician? What drove you to this market?
I have played music since I was 8 years old. I played in bands, a typical gigging teenager. I got my first electric guitar when I was 14 and my father bought me a Stratocaster and a used '64 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp (in fact we modeled that amp and it has been included since the first version of Amplitube...). I always had a passion for musical instruments, recording and studio gear, building my first computer based studio in the early '90s.
Before IK I was doing marketing and sales for my parent's company that was making electronic sensors that were being used for industrial automation. The company was sold in 1995, and at that point I started off on my own with the help of Davide Barbi, today IK's CTO, who was working with me as an audio engineer at the time.
First off, a little history about IK Multimedia would be great. How did you guys get into the plug-in business, and what exactly was your start?
After we started as a privately owned multimedia studio back in 1996, we developed our first loop-based interactive multimedia player in 1997. This same concept was then evolved into our first music software in 1998, called GrooveMaker, which was initially based on Macromedia's Director application.
Shortly after, we started researching into analog-modeling and released our first audio processing product called T-RackS in 1999 as a standalone software, and while we were developing our first virtual instrument (originally meant to be a standalone) we noticed an interesting press release from Steinberg - announcing the possibility to make instruments VST plug-ins.
It was from this moment that we could see the potential of our instruments and effects being hosted into sequencers, and that is how SampleTank was born and released in 2001 as the first multi-timbral, sample-based, sound module plug-in, with AmpliTube coming right after as the first amp and fx plug-in for all native platforms the year after, in 2002.
The IK Multimedia history as pioneers of the computer music industry goes back 14 years, and we are doing our best to be at the forefront of new markets like the mobile.
When did you know that IK Multimedia was going to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry? What is your measure of success?
Our mission has always been "Helping people that listen, play and produce music with a new generation of revolutionary software instruments, powerful and easy to use" - our motto is "Musicians First" - and we have tried to keep following both during all these years.
1999 T-RackS - The first analog-modeled desktop mastering solution.
2001 SampleTank - The first multi-timbral, virtual instrument workstation plug-in.
2002 AmpliTube - The first guitar amp and fx plug-in, modeling the entire rig.
2006 StealthPlug - The first audio cable interface.
2009 AmpliTube Fender - The first official Fender software amp and fx.
2010 AmpliTube iRig – The first guitar multiFX app + interface for the iPhone/iPod/iPad.
We keep innovating as a part of our mission and we use to measure the success of our accomplishments with our growth. We have constantly grown during all of these years and that is the best indicator that what we are doing is working and is appreciated by our customers.
How would you summarize the changes to our industry that have occurred since then? Would you say that all the changes in music technology have been for the better? What's better, what's not?
There have been many changes and the ones that have been benefited the most are the customers.
The offer in software and computer accessories has grown enormously with anything that could be desired in a producers' wish list to exist in the market place today, generally at a very affordable price - since also prices have gone down in all these years. It has never been a better time to build your own studio and equip it with your dream list of gear.
Another trend has been the build up of features in all music software from DAWs to plug-ins thanks to increased CPU power, with possibilities unthinkable a while ago. A "plug-in" like AmpliTube 3 has over 160 modeled gear inside, functionalities like a mini-DAW when used in standalone mode and a 320-page manual. So it has evolved into more of a sub-systems with the inherent customization, variety and flexibility. At the end this has only benefited the users which now have products with more features for a more competitive price than ever.
When did you first start coupling your technology to a mobile platform? Why did you do it?
We made the decision to develop apps for the iPhone in 2008, as a way to differentiate our product lines for what was already a very fast growing market for devices with finally enough CPU power. We were also fascinated by the opportunity to have a computer always with you in your pocket and the applications we could design for such a device.
The iPhone was only in the market since 2007 and we were watching the music app market closely. As an experiment we decided to develop GrooveMaker for the iPhone – which was not available anymore for the Mac and PC – since we thought it was the most suitable app to be of interest for the iPhone/iPod type of user. GrooveMaker was released in August 2009, and in less than one year we got nearly 1 million downloads.
Another very interesting development was the release of the iPad for which we were among the first developers to port their music apps. We immediately realized the advantages of combining the large multi-touch surface of the iPad with music apps, for making software that's all in one with its integrated controller.
At today the GrooveMaker product range – we do have 15 apps with more to be released soon – steadily keeps ranking in the top free and paid apps, and it has been very well received. Anyone with an iPhone/iPod/iPad can try it out by downloading the free version of GrooveMaker in the iTunes app store.
It's AmpliTube iRig, the first mobile app + interface adapter solution to plug your guitar into your iPhone, iPod or iPad and play, practice or simply have fun anytime and everywhere with the sound of amplifiers and effects.
The AmpliTube app offers a full rig of 3 stompboxes + amp + cabinet + microphone with a selection of 11 effects, 5 amps + cabinets and 2 microphones, plus it also includes a metronome, a backing track player and a 36 presets' panel.
In 2009 – while we were in development of GrooveMaker for iPhone – we already started specifying AmpliTube for the iOS platform. Given our leadership position in the Mac/PC market for amp and fx modeling software this was a no-brainer decision for us. We then were faced with the problem of getting the guitar signal into the device. We analyzed various solutions and we decided to go for the one that was to use the mini-jack for the headphones and mic set as the most affordable for the user and the faster to develop.
AmpliTube for iPhone has just been released on the iTunes app store on mid June 2010 and it immediately has ranked in the top free and paid apps.
The iRig accessory started shipping the beginning of July and we have received an unprecedented interest and coverage for it. Also here anyone with an iPhone/iPod/iPad can try AmpliTube by downloading the free version from the iTunes app store.
Do you plan to support other mobile platforms? Which ones?
There is still so much to do on the iOS platform for IK that we prefer to focus our resources there for now. However we are watching the most requested alternative mobile platforms closely and we have already started experimenting with coding.
What is your philosophy about copy protection, and what do you say to people who believe it's okay to use cracked software or sounds?
Our pro-audio software challenge-response system is being redesigned right now in order to give a simplified and better user experience when installing IK products. It was a deserved update – mainly for new users. We should be able to release it right after this summer.
Using cracked software or sounds has never been justifiable. We never took the policing approach that some other music software companies have rightfully done, but again with the price of software today and the vast availability of trial, demo and free versions there is no reason why anybody should use illegal software.
Software companies like us depend on software sales to invest, hire and make better products so there is really no argument that can be brought to the table by people using illegal versions.
What goes into making a new mobile platform product? How long does it take, and how is it different from developing for the Mac or PC? How do you decide what to do?
To make quality apps like AmpliTube or GrooveMaker for iPhone requires a certain investment – at their level of complexity these apps are not a one man gig - and this must be well thought out also because these apps are sold for very few $$.
We had to build a 10 person team between code developers, product managers, audio engineers, testers, graphic designers and web developers just for these apps.
The process of development also has different challenges: while there is plenty of multi-core CPU power on Mac/PC today - and we can focus our effort on sonic realism and accuracy on our pro-line - devices like the iPhone 3G or iPod Touch do not offer more than 800Mhz processors, so to squeeze an entire guitar rig comprised of 3 effects, amp (with reverb and tremolo), cabinets and mics into the iPhone we had to rebuild the DSP code from scratch, focusing on performance while preserving the attention to the sonic details IK is world renown for. In fact we can ensure that you can get the best possible sound for the platform with AmpliTube for iPhone.
Plus also the graphical user interfaces have to be condensed into 320x480 pixel screens so this too represents a challenge in terms of usability and real estate GUI space, that has to be completely redesigned for these platforms.
And at the end while it is true that OS-wise we are talking about a single platform here, there are several differences between iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone 4 - even more when it comes to developing hardware accessories - so what may apparently seem to be an easy development process, is definitively not when it comes to make quality apps.
Concerning development time, so far every core app we have developed took us around 8-12 months which is not that much faster than our regular MI software for similar levels of complexity.
How do we decide what to do for iOS is a mix between current company experience, market opportunities and intuition.
What have you learned about the way that musicians work with IK's plug-in products that you can apply to mobile computing products?
Our pro-audio products are constantly used by producers, composers, songwriters, mixing and mastering engineers and they are professional studio-oriented tools.
Our mobile apps are targeted more to the casual players and mobile musicians. In both of these cases customers always want great sound, easy-of-use and a complete first-class, feature-set for the given platform.
Since our apps are designed by the same team that developed our best pro-audio products, and the development process applied is the same, our mobile users can be guaranteed to have products designed with the same care and attention to quality they can find in our pro-audio products – as well as the best possible sound for the platform.
What can people expect from you next?
As usual IK Multimedia has rich plans for future releases of new products and updates.
In the mobile market, the next imminent release will be AmpliTube for iPad. It has been already submitted to the iTunes store and should be available any day now. It offers more stompbox effects than the iPhone version (4 simultaneous) thanks to faster CPU together with the possibility to always have the tuner engaged. With a larger interface the entire rig is now visible in the same screen with all the controls immediately available for fast multi-touch editing.
There is also a new round of GrooveMaker packs in the making for both the iPhone and the iPad.
In the pro-audio market our next release is StealthBoard, right after the end of this summer, our USB/MIDI hardware floor controller for AmpliTube and any other MIDI controllable studio or stage software and hardware.
In parallel we are also working on all of our major pro-audio product lines including AmpliTube, T-RackS and SampleTank and some other very interesting new developments that we are sure our current and new customers will love.
If you want to stay tuned you should join our IK Multimedia newsletter or our Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels, where we generally post sneak peaks on the latest news and where we are pretty active in engaging conversation with our users.
It is going to be an exciting future for all - mobile and studio - musicians.
Given your experience in this field is there any advice you would give to other developers?
Give it a lot of thought before you start because everything is always harder than you expect. It's not easy, but if you have the passion, go for it.

Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence (Paperback)
By Dale Peterson, Professor Wrangham, Richard
Whatever their virtues, men are more violent than women. Why do men kill, rape, and wage war, and what can we do about it? Demonic Males offers startling new answers to these questions. Drawing on the latest discoveries about human evolution and about our closest living relatives, the great apes, the book unfolds a compelling argument that the secrets of a peaceful society may well be, first, a sharing of power between males and females, and second, a high level and variety of sexual activity, both homosexual and heterosexual. Dramatic, vivid, and sometimes shocking, but firmly grounded in meticulous scientific research, Demonic Males will stir controversy and debate. It will be required reading for anyone concerned about the spiral of violence undermining human society.
Dale Peterson is the coauthor with Jane Goodall of Visions of Caliban (a New York Times Notable Book and a Library Journal Best Book) and the editor of her two books of letters, Africa in My Blood and Beyond Innocence. His other books include The Deluge and the Ark, Chimpanzee Travels, Storyville USA, Eating Apes, and (with Richard Wrangham) Demonic Males. They have been distinguished as an Economist Best Book, a Discover Top Science Book, a Bloomsbury Review Editor's Favorite, a Village Voice Best Book, and a finalist for the PEN New England Award and the Sir Peter Kent Conservation Book Prize in England. He resides in Massachusetts.
Wrangham ia a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University.
"The heroes of this fascinating account of primate behavior and evolution are bonobos, members of a species closely related to both humans and chimpanzees but distinguished by its comparatively nonviolent and relatively egalitarian social structure. Wrangham and Peterson look to studies of bonobo social organization and behavior for insight into social mechanisms to control human violence. The influence of sociobiology is evident at every step in the authors' (which the authors dub "Galton's error"). The book is an accessible, gripping, sometimes surprising account of the depth and extent of violent behavior among primates as well as a provocative discussion of its origins and possible remedies."

Tatsumaki said, "6 years ago, when she was 7, her parents were killed in front of her in a torture chamber. Last year, her aunt died of an illness and this год her grandmother was killed- she was stabbed twice and pushed down the stairs. Her neck twisted. Kutsuu wants to become a better alchemist, though she has amazing talent, and avenge her murdered family. Even if Ты don't see it, she's suffering." I looked down. "Wow..." He sighed. "It doesn't end there. After her parents died, she tried Human Alchemy and nearly died from what happened." He was going to continue when a woman said, "Tatsumaki, I need Ты over here." He nodded. "Sorry, boys." He turned and walked into the kitchen.
I hope Ты like it. You'll find out еще of Kutsuu's past soon. I'll work on Chapter 3 soon.

At Airthrie we offer a culturally rich and diverse curriculum in which all major religions, as well as humanism, are studied. Visitors from these faiths and beliefs are welcomed into school. We believe strongly that tolerance is gained through knowledge and understanding; our pupils experience this first hand by visiting various places of worship throughout their time at Airthrie. Through our curriculum and the routines of school life, we strive to demonstrate tolerance and help the pupils to become citizens of the world.
Our pupils will encounter rules and laws throughout their lives. We want them to understand that whether these laws govern the class, the school or the country, they are set for good reason and must be adhered to by all. Understanding of this is consistently reinforced through assemblies and many elements of school life. Their involvement in the creation of pupil rules helps them to appreciate the reasons behind them and the consequences if they are broken.

The East African Community (EAC) Summit held on Friday in Tanzania city of Arusha, elected President Paul Kagame to head the bloc for a one year rotational period.
President Kagame while delivering a speech also stated key priorities of his programmes. "It is an honour to serve as Chairperson of our Summit for the next year. I look forward to working together with my fellow leaders to serve the people of East Africa." Kagame said.
"As leaders of the Community, we therefore need to come together in a spirit of solidarity and unity, for the benefit and well-being of the citizens of our region. Our Treaty is clear that the East African Community is people-centered. This should inform all our reflections and actions. We will measure success by how easily our people, their goods and capital move within our region, and how prosperous they become as a result. This is our task. I know we are equal to it, if we choose to put all our energies into making it happen", he said.

Credit Suisse Launches Radical Overhaul to Stabilise Bank
/ Economy, Home / By News Website
economy news online news
By Nathalie Olof-Ors
Credit Suisse unveiled radical measures Thursday aimed at turning around the beleaguered bank following huge third quarter losses, including revamping its investment banking, slashing 9,000 jobs and a capital injection from the Saudi National Bank. online news
Switzerland's second-biggest bank launched a new strategy intended to repair the damage following a series of scandals, saying it wanted to create "a simpler, more focused and more stable bank".
"We all know Credit Suisse is at a critical point in its history," chairman Axel Lehmann said.
For months, if not years, it has been "overshadowed by various issues", while he acknowleged that the 166-year-old institution had become unfocused.
"We need to draw a line," he insisted.
Lehmann said the reassessment of the bank's direction included "a radical strategy and a plan to create a stronger, more resilient and more efficient bank with a firm foundation".
The revamp came as Credit Suisse unveiled a third quarter net loss of 4.034 billion Swiss francs ($4.07 billion).
The Zurich-based bank revealed it was going for a "radical restructuring" of its investment bank, an accelerated cost-cutting effort, and strengthened and reallocated capital, "all of which are designed to create a new Credit Suisse".
The group's shares slid on the announcements, closing down 18.6 percent on the Swiss stock exchange's main SMI index at 3.877 Swiss francs.
"The reaction is negative, which is not good. I think the markets were expecting more drastic things," Carlo Lombardini, a professor of banking law at the University of Lausanne, told AFP.
"The bank is not going to go bankrupt… but the question is how it will generate income in a difficult market".
Saudi investment –
The bank intends to raise capital worth four billion Swiss francs ($4 billion) through issuing new shares to qualified investors, including Saudi National Bank, which has committed to invest up to 1.5 billion Swiss francs.
The Saudi bank will thus take a stake of up to 9.9 percent, becoming a chief shareholder alongside the US company Harris Associates (10.05 percent) and the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar (5.03 percent).
Making a capital increase is a "fairly radical choice", said David Benamou, director of investments at Axiom Alternative Investments.
He told AFP it was a "very good message" for customers and creditors.
economy online news
The Ethos foundation, which represents pension funds in Switzerland, welcomed that bank "finally seems to have understood that it was necessary to stop the investment banking".
However, it criticised the Saudi injection, telling AFP that the current shareholders "have suffered a very significant dilution effect".
'Lengthy process' –
Credit Suisse said it expects staff numbers to drop by 9,000 to approximately 43,000 staff by the end of 2025.
The group will also reduce its cost base by 15 percent, or around 2.5 billion Swiss francs, delivering a cost base of around 14.5 billion Swiss francs in 2025.
Credit Suisse will refocus on its most stable activities — wealth management and Swiss banking — and reduce its merchant banking.
It will revive its First Boston brand, named after an US investment bank it absorbed in 1990, where its capital market and advisory activities will be brought together.
Andreas Venditti, an analyst at Swiss investment managers Vontobel, said Koerner's new strategic plan was "just the first step in a lengthy process to restore credibility and regain the trust" of Credit Suisse's stakeholders.
"Resolute execution and no further mis-steps will be key and it will take time until results will begin to show," he said.
Analysts at the US investment bank Jefferies said the capital raise was "larger than we thought it would be, and third quarter results show another quarter-on-quarter deterioration in momentum that we find concerning, though not very surprising".
Archegos, Greensill shocks –
Credit Suisse's capital-guzzling investment banking arm has been the source of heavy losses which plunged Credit Suisse's accounts into the red — eclipsing its more stable activities such as wealth management or its Swiss domestic banking services.
Credit Suisse's investment bank suffered a loss of 3.7 billion Swiss francs in 2021 and backed that up with a 992 million Swiss franc loss in the first half of 2022.
It was hit by the implosion of US fund Archegos, which cost Credit Suisse more than $5 billion.
Meanwhile its asset management branch was rocked by the bankruptcy of British financial firm Greensill, in which some $10 billion had been committed through four funds.
Credit Suisse is one of 30 banks globally deemed too big to fail, forcing it to set aside more cash to weather a crisis.
While many industry experts think a bankruptcy highly improbable, these rumours helped drag its share price down to a low of 3.158 Swiss francs on October 3.

From the early part of March 2020 to April 15, 2022, the US Federal Reserve had been increasing its holdings by nearly $5 trillion dollars.
It did this each month of that period by buying billions of dollars of corporation and government bonds, in effect, infusing massive amounts of money into the economy.
And, as the FRED graph shows, it did so at rapid rate or at a high rate of velocity.

Economists say that when massive amoutns of fiat money are infused into the economy at high rates of velocity, the likelihood of noticeably higher rates of inflation is made greater.
A number of other central banks followed a similar policy.
For example, between late February 2020, even days before the media started fixating on the virus thingy, and March of this year, the European Central Bank embarked on its own version of monetary expansion.
During that period, the ECB increased its holdings by over 5 trillion euros.
The Bank of Japan also increased its holdings.
Between February of 2020 and earlier this year, it had increased its holding by a few hundred trillion Yen.
For a number of years, including the Bank of Japan, major central banks have kept their interest rates low.
For its part, the Bank of Japan kept its interest rates at negative rates, meaning that depositors had to pay banks to hold their money.
During and before the pandemic, major corporations had increased the number of mergers and acquisitions, as those entities were able to make their purchases using inexpensive money and higher stock valuations.
The other part of the equation was that of supply.
As a result of lockdowns, many small and medium-sized businesses were closed.
Shipping ports had lost workers, and truck drivers going to those ports had to wait in long lines, as a result.
In effect, well before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, shortages of various goods and services developed.
The invasion and sanctions imposed have aggravated shortages of commodities like petroleum and grain.
And there have been instances of price gouging.
