For a peacefully coexisting, mutually respectful and co-prosperous world
US should welcome Arab democracy from Maan News Agency (Palestine)
By Dalia Mogahed:
If the remarkable transformations taking place across the Middle East teach us anything it is that we must unlearn all we thought we knew about this region.
Paramount on this list is the paternal notion that Arabs will get democracy when we deem them secular enough, pro-Israel enough, and sufficiently in favor of our policies in the region. The people of this region are earning self-governance through their own sacrifice and perseverance whether or not we think them fit.
The question now is how prepared is America to accept this new reality. Many fear that democracy in the Middle East risks anti-American and anti-Israeli Islamists groups coming to power. Some of these democracy skeptics argue that the United States needs to push for upgraded autocracy with different faces, hoping this will stabilize the region and subdue revolt. Many Americans are wondering how we both safeguard our interest and rebuild our credibility with publics who love our ideals but believe our actions seldom reflect them.
According to Gallup research across the region, U.S. policy makers would do well to embrace a democratic Arab world as consistent with both our interests and our values. Here is why:
1. Autocracy in the Middle East can no longer deliver stability. Whatever the short-term outcome, the long term belongs to the region's young people, who have proven they are willing to sacrifice everything for freedom. It is impossible for an unpopular dictator to rule through physical force alone. Illegitimate rulers must rely on their people's fear and sense of disempowerment to maintain the status quo. The mass protests taking place across the region have already succeeded in dethroning dictatorship because they have eliminated these tools of totalitarianism.
2. A democratic Middle East strengthens U.S. security. Gallup research shows a positive relationship between public rejection of attacks on civilians and the perception that it is possible for oppressed people to change their situation through peaceful means alone. Moreover, we must not let the Muslim Brotherhood scarecrow distract us from our true enemy. Al Qaeda's original goal was to topple these corrupt regimes, and argued that only they and their myopic ideology could bring justice through violent struggle. Nothing can deal a more fatal blow to the extremists narrative than peaceful, multi religious, nationalistic protests succeeding where all of Al Qaeda's bombs failed.
3. Most Arabs want a democracy informed by religious values, not a theocracy. Faith as a reference point in politics is a staple of American public life, and is likely to be in emerging Arab democracies as well. However, the majority of Arabs, like Americans, favor nothing more than an advisory role for religious leaders in writing legislation. Also like Americans, vast majorities in the region say they would guarantee freedom of speech and religion if it were up to them to write a constitution for a new country.
If new Arab legislative bodies truly reflect the will of the people, Islamists are unlikely to win majorities in parliament. Moreover, conservative religious parties have participated in democratic elections in Israel, Germany, Jordan, Indonesia and Malaysia. These groups compete in and do not co-opt elections, and in many cases, face declining popularity as they shift from external critics to invested policy makers.
4. Arabs want domestic development not costly wars with their neighbors. Israel and its supporters in the United States should not fear governments that reflect the priorities of the region's people. The protesters in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other nations have focused on domestic grievances; corruption, police brutality, and lack of economic opportunity and political rights– not their government's relationship with Israel.
For example, Gallup surveys show that Egyptians' main concerns are better employment opportunities and quality education for their children. Over the past five years, Egyptians' life satisfaction and optimism has declined significantly. Further analysis shows that the most meaningful predictor of life satisfaction and optimism is satisfaction with the freedom in one's life. This measure declined from 80 percent in 2005 to below 50 percent in 2010. Despite their democratic aspirations, Egyptians are the least likely in Gallup's database of 150 countries to report voicing their opinion to a public official. Egyptians, and other Arabs, want to invest in the domestic political and economic development of their nation, not squander scarce resources on costly conflicts with nuclear powers.
The problems we face in the twenty-first century, from climate change to violent extremism, do not recognize national borders or distinguish between color and creed. Our success therefore depends on our ability to cooperate across these boundaries. Better governance in the Middle East will unlock the region's human potential, allowing the birthplace of civilization to contribute to global progress, at last, as full partners.

Feature: Automated queue management in a healthcare setting
Written by David Grace and Angela Mayhew on 12 April 2012 .
This article first appeared in the April 2012 edition of Pulse+IT Magazine.
Melton Health is one of three Super Clinics funded by the Victorian government to provide same-day hospital and ambulatory care services in the outer-western metropolitan area of Melbourne. The clinic provides over 90,000 episodes of care per annum and has successfully implemented "world first" queuing technology deliver a range of efficiency benefits to both patients and the healthcare facility.
Melton Health is part of Djerriwarrh Health Services, a provider of public health care services to the Melton and Moorabool shires, located approximately 45km to the west of Melbourne. Djerriwarrh Health Services' mission is to help people in our community to better health and well-being. It does this by providing an integrated range of health services including primary, ambulatory, acute and aged care.
Services are provided from five main campuses: Melton Community Health Centre (primary care), Melton East Community Health Centre (primary care), Melton Health (ambulatory care), Bacchus Marsh & Melton Regional Hospital (acute care) and Grant Lodge (aged care). The organisation employs over 650 staff and has a total organisational budget of over $40m.
Melton Health opened in February 2006 and is a purpose-built Victorian government-funded Super Clinic providing same-day hospital and ambulatory care services to the rapidly expanding communities in the Melton and Moorabool shires. One of the key objectives of Super Clinics was to utilise new and innovative technology to deliver services in a more efficient and effective manner.
The Melton Health implementation team believed that improving the time and way people were queued was an important contributor to patient satisfaction. The implementation team identified an opportunity to use an automated queuing system to reduce the number of reception counters and waiting areas required, reducing capital and recurrent operating costs. While automated queuing systems were becoming more widely used throughout a wide range of client service industries, it became evident that no one had previously attempted to integrate the technology with a health service's patient administration system (PAS).
The objectives of installing an automated queuing system integrated with the health services' patient management system were to:
reduce the need for patients to wait in queues at reception counters;
provide instruction to patients on which waiting area to attend and how to get there, using technology;
allow clinicians to see the names and length of wait of each patient waiting for their clinic from the computer screen located in their consultation room;
provide a mechanism for clinicians within their consulting room to "call up" patients from the waiting room;
automate the collection of arrival times, consultation commencement times and consultation completion times without having to manually enter the data into the PAS;
alert managers when waiting times exceed predetermined thresholds; and
allow monitoring of performance targets against performance indicators.
Planning for the integrated automated queuing system was overseen by an information technology committee, established as part of the implementation team of the three Super Clinics. A local information technology team was also established for Melton Health, focusing on the technical integration of the queuing system and patient management system using the information technology infrastructure in place at Djerriwarrh Health Services.
Initially, the efforts of the team focused on ensuring that the integration was technically possible and then scoping the project. As part of scoping the project, a realistic Gantt chart of activities was developed as well as flow charts outlining the expected patient flow throughout the various services. Upon acceptance of the project scope and budget by the information technology committee, the project was then implemented by the local information technology team.
In order to achieve the project's objectives, Qmatic was selected as the automated queuing system and was integrated with iSoft's (now CSC) i.PM patient management system using HL7 messaging through third-party HL7 messaging software called HL7 Connect. The integration and implementation of the project was achieved within the prescribed timelines and prior to the clinic opening.
From a patient's perspective, the implementation of the automated queuing system means that upon entering the clinic, the patient scans a barcode at the top of their appointment notification letter at one of two self-service kiosks located near the front door. As the patient scans the letter their name is added to a list of patients waiting on the clinician's computer screen in their consulting room. The patient is also automatically recorded as "arrived" in the patient management system. The kiosk issues an appointment number ticket and provides information on which waiting area – designated by a colour coding system – to attend.
When the clinician is ready to see the patient, they click a button on their computer screen which initiates both an audible and visual call up of the patient's ticket number over the speaker system and waiting room television. The call up includes information on what entry door to use to enter the consulting area. The call up of the patient by the clinician also automatically initiates recording of the consultation commencement time. Calling up the next patient by the clinician initiates recording of the conclusion time of the consultation for the previous patient in the patient management system.
The implementation of the automated queuing system has reduced the need for patients having to use reception services, freeing up the reception for general inquiries and other customer service matters. Clinicians are able to monitor the number and length of wait of patients. Managers are automatically alerted of the need to problem-solve any excessive wait issues, against predefined thresholds, as they occur in real time.
While other healthcare organisations may use a "deli" system to call up patients, a fully integrated queuing system in the patient management system provides much more capacity to automate a complex array of clinic services (sometimes over 40 individual clinics running at once) and utilise the technology for record-keeping purposes as well as monitoring waiting times.
While there is no pre-implementation statistical information to compare the impact of the automated queuing system, post-implementation data collected confirms that less than one in 10 patients need to use the reception services and the average wait time from the time of scanning the letter at the self-service kiosk to the time that the clinician calls up the patient from the waiting area is no greater than 10 minutes.
A patient survey confirms that 72 per cent of patients perceived that they did not have to wait at all for their service while 98 per cent perceived that they waited less than 15 minutes. A survey of staff also suggests that staff perceived the computerised systems at Melton Health as a major strength in the model of care provided.
In relation to the design of the building, the automated queuing system reduced the number of reception counters required from four to three, as well as reducing the waiting area floor space by approximately 25per cent. It is estimated that the initiative reduced the building cost by about $800,000 (at 2006 building rates).
Keeping abreast of technological advances can be challenging, particularly when the technology is new. The outcome of implementing an automated queuing system at Melton Health has been positive both from the health service's point of view as well as the patients'.

Warhammer: Dark Omen
Warhammer: Dark Omen is a superb sequel to Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, Mindscape's first real-time tactical strategy game based on the Games Workshop's popular tabletop RPG franchise. The game boasts superior graphics to SOTHR, and a streamlined and much more intuitive user interface that makes battles much easier to manage. Marc Reissig says it all about what makes Dark Omen a great game in his review for the Games Domain:
"Dark Omen is primarily a real-time tactical game in which you direct an army of up to ten regiments that each comprise anywhere from one to twenty individual units or so. You control your army at the regimental level, so at the most you have to worry about giving orders to ten entities at any point in time. Like Myth: The Fallen Lords, it's a refreshing change of pace from most of the current crop of RTS games. There's no base-base building or unit manufacturing here - you are left entirely free to contemplate the subtleties of the slaughter. If you like Myth: Fallen Lords (and just for the record, I do), Dark Omen is about the closest you can get right now if you're looking for more.
The tactical module is pretty outstanding. Cavalry regiments will turn in formation and then charge into the vulnerable flanks of an unsuspecting enemy. Archers launch volleys of deadly arrows through the air, and the battlefield is filled with the sounds, explosions, and smoking shells of lethal cannon and mortar fire. Wizards are also available to conjure a variety of dangerous magics that can mow the enemy down or set them on fire and send them screaming into the hills. Height matters, line of sight is of extreme importance, and the dangers of friendly fire mean that you can definitely be your own worst enemy. Sometimes you will have a defensible position and sometimes you will be surrounded on all sides, but you will almost always be outnumbered. Get used to it.
Between engagements, the story is moved along by the occasional cutscene and by conversations between on-screen "talking heads" that are pretty similar to the dialogues used in Starcraft's excellent campaigns. These same types of characters can also appear on-screen during battles to give you helpful updates. At its best, Dark Omen manages to create a sense of drama both on and off the battlefield.
So what's not to like? Like Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen is a tough game. This challenge in and of itself is not a bad thing - at least you spend most of the time worrying about fighting the battles rather than fighting the interface for control of your units... The game is also pretty linear. The small strategic elements that the game offers off the battlefield are definitely nice touches - it's fun to decide what armor to purchase and who gets to carry the newest magic sword, and it's interesting that you sometimes are allowed to make a decision like whether to stay and face the more immediate peril or to move on to the greater objective given to you by your employer. Even so, though, you will sometimes find yourself fighting the same battles three or four times in a row. The first time your wizard might be slain by a lucky shot from enemy artillery (restart), and the second time you might accidentally place your cannon (shallow arc) behind your cavalry instead of the mortar (high arc) and obliterate about 1600 gold pieces in the first barrage.
Despite a few shortcomings, I find that Dark Omen has managed to re-capture the elusive "fun factor" that I felt was missing in Shadow of the Horned Rat. The combination of a re-vamped and streamlined interface with a powerful and smooth graphics engine makes Dark Omen a joy to play. If you enjoy the fantasy setting, don't mind real-time combat and are looking for a meaty single-player tactical challenge, Dark Omen is the game for you." If you enjoy real-time strategy games, especially very challenging ones, Dark Omen is a must-have.
Dark Omen is a tactical real-time wargame set in Games Workshop's popular Warhammer fantasy world. You assume command of Bernhardt's Grudgebringers, a powerful and prestigious mercenary army forced to defend itself against armies of the vengeful Undead. All the while, the Greenskins - orcs, goblins, and worse - will be a thorn in your side. Dark Omen is exciting, visually superb, and features an elegant interface. The end result is a game that will more than satisfy virtually any real-time strategy fan - even as it alienates those turn-based strategy gamers who made Warhammer what it is today.
The 3D landscapes in Dark Omen look gorgeous (it's almost a shame to litter them with the corpses of your enemies). Lush rolling hills, sheer cliffs and castle parapets, trees, waterfalls - everything looks colorful and beautiful, and even more so if you have a good 3D accelerator at your disposal. And just as the scenery appears real, so does it have realistic properties. Your infantry will have a difficult time scaling steep slopes while your archers will fare better on high ground since they'll have a better view of the situation. Rough terrain will slow your forces down, and obstacles like trees and boulders make for life-saving cover from ranged attacks. The 2D soldiers are well animated and easily distinguishable from one another. Better still, their corpses remain on the battlefield indefinitely, and things will look pretty grizzly toward the end of any particular fight.
Among the great aesthetic touches in Dark Omen are the 3D animated facial portraits representing the different regiments. It's more than a little unsettling when a skeletal wight commander shrieks "Charge!" as his undead forces rush forth to strike. Wounded regiments' commanders will appear bloodied and scarred, and when a regiment is completely destroyed you'll see a close-up of the commander as he screams and dies. All the portraits are unique, realistic, and expressive and add a great deal of character and personality to Dark Omen. Unfortunately, though its graphics are so distinctive, Dark Omen's sound is less than fantastic. All your different characters speak in exactly the same dull voice during combat, which goes a long way to stifle the various characters' personalities. And while the music in the game is appropriately grave and dramatic, it grows rather repetitive.
Commanding your forces in battle is an intuitive and efficient affair, made all the simpler through a helpful speech-driven tutorial. Deploying your troops to the field is a painless procedure, and you can issue initial movement or firing orders to your various regiments before the battle begins. Each regiment, belonging to both friend and foe, is represented by a color-coded battle standard. Even if a regiment is offscreen, its standard will still appear on the border of your display representing its location relative to yours. This effectively allows you to control all your forces from any point on the battlefield, such that you can easily redirect your artillery and ranged units to fire upon enemy reinforcements. Magic spells and special abilities are easily accessible, and issuing move and attack orders is as simple as clicking on the destination. Your regiments are efficient about moving from place to place, though they have a tendency to get a little confused about where to go when in very close proximity to one another. True line of sight means you'll have to keep a sharp eye out to make sure your foes aren't sneaking up on you, as unless the enemy is in direct view of one of your regiments, you won't see it either. Of course, you can often use this same feature to your advantage and hide your own regiments behind cover then charge the enemies' flanks when they draw close, often causing your foes to panic and rout. Morale plays an important role in Dark Omen, especially when your troops are pitted against the fear-inspiring Undead.
Though at first glance all seems well and good regarding Dark Omen's play mechanics, certain nagging problems creep up over time. These are mainly concerned with the limited functionality of the game's otherwise effective interface and friendly regiment intelligence, or lack thereof. Your friendly regiments do nothing without your express order besides fight for their lives if attacked and turn tail and flee if overwhelmed. You need to be there to turn your troops to face the enemy, order them to charge into battle, and otherwise baby-sit them under every circumstance. Your ranged units, including archers and artillery, will not fire on the enemy unless you tell them to do so. And they will not stop firing unless you order them to stop. This means once your infantry engages an enemy, your cannons and archers will keep on shooting and thus prove at least as fatal to your own forces as to the opponent. This would not be such a problem, but you cannot issue orders to more than one regiment at a time, which makes multiple cease-fire orders very problematic in the heat of battle. Furthermore, Dark Omen plays at just one speed setting; you cannot slow the game down (or speed it up), nor can you pause the action and issue orders without time constraint. While the inability to toggle game speed is certainly a realistic touch, it seems more like a frustrating oversight when weighed against your regiments' inability to use common sense in a dangerous situation. Dark Omen does follow the Warhammer board game's carefully balanced and fine-tuned rules of engagement carefully, but when you're forced to order up to 15 regiments individually and in real time, you'll find that strategy takes a back seat as you whirl about with your mouse in sheer desperation.
All this is to say, Dark Omen's lengthy single-player campaign isn't easy. You will face overwhelming odds with a limited number of troops, none of which is ever expendable. Since your regiments gain experience from battle to battle, allowing them to die is not an option. A successful mission affords you barely enough gold to replenish your losses, and even if you succeed in a mission, you may need to try it over - if only to win while sustaining fewer losses. Of further note, though the missions are fairly long, you cannot save your progress during battle. Yet in spite of its daunting challenge, the campaign is thoroughly enjoyable. The story progresses between missions in aptly delivered speech (with plenty of German accents) using the same animated portraits you'll see in battle. The campaign branches at several points, forcing you to make difficult decisions regarding where to fight next, all the while knowing you will face the repercussions of your actions at a later time. You will constantly encounter new allies and face powerful new enemies, and the missions are all exciting and unique. The campaign is worth going through more than once if only to experience the alternate plot branches.
While Dark Omen only supports a maximum of two simultaneous players for network games, taking on a human opponent is a pleasure. You can build your army using a defined quantity of resources on your own time, choosing from a vast roster of troops from either the Allied, Greenskin, or Undead armies, then pit it against your opponent to show him who's in charge. Dark Omen battles are quick and brutal as both sides are inevitably forced to clash under the threat of potentially devastating artillery fire. Dark Omen is by far the most aesthetically pleasing computer rendition of the Warhammer world. Turn-based strategy fans, or traditional tabletop Warhammer enthusiasts, will find Dark Omen's punishing real-time combat far too frantic. But its sleek interface, great single-player campaign, and action-packed multiplayer mode will add up to many hours of enjoyment for Warhammer and real-time strategy fans alike.

Q: Is it possible to use \IEEEeqnarray in beamer? I have a report written in IEEEtran class. Now I need to make slides in beamer. There are lot of equations formatted according to \IEEEeqnarray with different alignments, so it will be cumbersome to transform them all to either \align or \eqnarray environments which are possible environments in beamer.
I am curious if there is any way to use \IEEEeqnarray environment in beamer class? I did try \usepackage{IEEEtrantools}, but its not working in following example code:
\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation> {

\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{booktabs} % Allows the use of \toprule, \midrule and \bottomrule in tables

        \begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}

        \end{IEEEeqnarray*}
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

A: You are already using IEEEtrantools, hence it is possible to use IEEEeqnarray. The following works:
\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation> {

\usetheme{Warsaw}
\useoutertheme{infolines} }
\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{mathtools} %
\usepackage{IEEEtrantools}   %% makes IEEE tools available in other classes.

\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}

&=& \frac{E[|s|^2]\cdot |\vec{a}^\dagger \vec{b}|^2}{E[|\vec{a}^\dagger \vec{w}|^2]}
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}

  \end{frame}
\end{document}

However, as you are also loading mathtools, the job done by IEEEeqnarray can be easily done by align*
\documentclass{beamer}

\mode<presentation> {

\usetheme{Warsaw}
\useoutertheme{infolines} }
\usepackage{graphicx} % Allows including images
\usepackage{mathtools} %
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\begin{document}

 \begin{frame}  \frametitle{Overlapping Composite Binary Hypotheses}   Due to the uncertainty in the noise variance, composite binary hypotheses .......
\begin{align*}
SNR&=\dfrac{E[|\vec{a}^ {\ \dagger} \vec{b}s|^2]}{E[|\vec{a}^\dagger \vec{w}|^2]} \\
&= \frac{E[|s|^2]\cdot |\vec{a}^\dagger \vec{b}|^2}{E[|\vec{a}^\dagger \vec{w}|^2]} \end{align*}

  \end{frame}
\end{document}

As suggested by LaRiFaRi, you may want to add the option retainorigcmds to IEEEtrantools, if you want to use only IEEEeqnarray*.

Speculation has been rampant in recent months about the future of San Diego's Forward Ventures, which has been one of the region's leading life sciences VC firms for more than 15 years.
Partner Joel Martin, who joined Forward in 2001, left the firm in October and another partner, Stuart Collinson, is said to be leaving as well. Both are prominent figures in the biotech industry. Collinson was the chairman and CEO of San Diego's Aurora Biosciences before joining Forward in 2002, and became a director at Boston's Vertex Pharmaceuticals after Vertex acquired Aurora Biosciences.
Editor's note: Story is updated below with more details on Collinson, who plans to remain.
So I sat down with founding partners Stan Fleming and Ivor Royston, who were anxious to dispel rumors about Forward's future and to set the record straight about the changes underway.
But as Royston wrote in a newspaper op-ed piece last summer—and as other biotech VCs have been saying as well—the traditional venture model for funding biotech startups is broken. Royston is particularly concerned about a widening "funding gap" for early-stage drug development, as venture capital firms have increasingly focused their investments exclusively on compounds already in or approved for clinical trials. He says the trend stems partly from the recent dearth of IPOs for venture-backed biotechs, which makes it far harder for VCs to recoup their investments in early-stage deals within the 10-year lifespan of most venture funds.
The firm that invested in roughly 66 startups since it was founded in 1993—and which has just over $400 million in assets under management—has eliminated its roster of principals, senior associates, and associates. The partners confirmed that Collinson plans to leave Forward Ventures, but declined to elaborate. Collinson did not respond to an e-mail inquiry yesterday.

Q: jQuery .done after AJAX callback I'm trying to run some stuff after an AJAX call is completed:
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    success: //do stuff
}).done(function (){
    $('#listings').fadeIn(800).done(function(){
        $('#loading').fadeOut(800);
    });
});

This doesn't do the last part which is $('#loading').fadeOut(800);, which should start when $('#listings').fadeIn(800) is done.

A: fadeIn() is not really the sort of function that returns a promise, but it does have a callback function you can use:
$.ajax({
    url: url,
}).done(function (){
    $('#listings').fadeIn(800, function(){
        $('#loading').fadeOut(800);
    });
});

A: To get the promise object from an animation, use .promise.
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    success: handler
}).done(function (){
    $('#listings').fadeIn(800).promise().done(function(){
        $('#loading').fadeOut(800);
    });
});

In this particular case, it makes more sense to use a callback rather than .promise and .done on the animation. The advantage of using .promise is it results in a single callback for all selected elements rather than one callback per element. Since you're only animating one element, the callback would be the best way to do it. (adeneo's answer)
There are other advantages to using .promise, but you don't appear to need them. ($.when for example)

Cambodia and its people are still reeling from the aftermath of the U.S. and Vietnam conflict. The Viet Cong were driven into Cambodia by U.S. forces, who pursued them and dropped 500,000 tons of bombs in Cambodia. The founder's son's birth village was tragically affected by the bombing.
Because of the disruption in Cambodia's political system, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge easily took over the country and began some of the worst atrocities suffered in modern history. Pol Pot emptied cities and executed anyone with an education or with an occupation that would subvert his goals of forming a society without Western influence. Between 20% and 25% of the population were murdered (estimates range from 850,000 to 2 million people were killed). The physical, social and economic infrastructure of the country were destroyed.
The Pol Pot regime was toppled in 1979, but the after effects – decimated families, fractured economy, government corruption, a land laced with mines, a terrorized population, extreme poverty and hunger, no education or industry, a large displaced and homeless population – are still a part of Pol Pot's legacy.

RITI OCCULTI
Il video di Assiah, tratto dall'album Tetragrammaton.
ITALIAN DOOMSTERS RITI OCCULTI ANNOUNCE NEW VIDEO FOR THE TRACK "ASSIAH"
Riti Occulti have published a brand new video for the track "Assiah", which is taken off the band's latest full-length "Tetragrammaton", released on October 2016 through Triton's Orbit.
The band comments: "This is a song marked by an epic pattern, mixed with an evocative oriental mood which flows into a psychedelic experience. 'Assiah' is the last of the four spiritual worlds of the Kabbalah. Representing purely material existence, it is known as the World of Action. Pay tribute to the 70's horror b-movie aesthetics, the video it's a metaphor in esoteric key of the material corruption by the modern era to the detriment of the human spiritual dimension. The main character indeed, starring Ladyanna Silva, will sell her soul to the 'Sect' in return for the fame."
