A Weekend of Shows
Regular readers will know that I run a monthly open-mike night called Hotchpotch; it's for writers rather than musicians. This past weekend, we branched out and held two extra events that differ from our usual format.
On Friday, it was Hotchpotch Presents…, a 40-minute showcase of some of our regular members' best work with no open-mike element. This was part of a festival called Stripped, organised by Dundee Rep Theatre. Our set finished off a cabaret-style evening that included the poet Imogen Stirling.
The staff there treated us well, even when we changed our technical requirements a couple of hours beforehand. I did feel the audience needed to be loosened up a little, but they had done by the halfway point. The best part was that we had a small budget, so the performers could be paid a fee.
This will certainly open the door for another members' show in the future, possibly next March when Hotchpotch celebrates its 10th birthday.
On Sunday, we held Hotchpotch in Perth, around half an hour away by car. This was part of the Soutar Festival of Words, and we were given the use of the AK Bell library for 90 minutes. That event was modelled on the Dundee open-mike sessions, but performers were to be given five minutes rather than seven, and we allowed them to sign up in advance.
Although the audience was around half the size of what we would normally attract, it meant that everyone was allowed a second turn at the microphone if they wanted it. Among the crowd was Rana Marathon, who holds a regular spoken-word night in Perth called Blend In – Stand Out (BISO). Unfortunately, I didn't manage to go to the BISO Slam the previous day because I was organising our event.
And there's more to come. I'm currently in Wolverhampton on business where there's an event tonight called PASTA, short for Poets and Storytellers Assemble. It seems to be similar to Hotchpotch, so I'm looking forward to taking part.

The Joy of Nonsense
Last week, I said I was organising three live events over the next month and that there would be more about those in this entry. On reflection, I think this is better done as a reactive post, as I can then talk about two of the final performances. So that will definitely appear next week.
A couple of weeks ago, I was in a pub in Stockton-on-Tees called the Thomas Sheraton. Behind the bar was a coffee machine with the label 'Biscuits don't live here'.
For some reason, I found this particularly amusing. By the time my meal was served, I'd written a good chunk of a piece that's now sitting at around 350 words. It's a surreal narrative about anthropomorphised biscuits are who are fed up with people and are leaving town.
Normally when I look back on work, I'm inclined to remove words from it. In this case, however, I've added words almost every time.
But where is the line between a nonsense piece and one that's simply rubbish? Here's my view on the matter.
The Bob Dylan track Subterranean Homesick Blues is a disjointed sequence of phrases and imagery. It's lauded as summing up the counterculture movement of the day. However, even taking into account that many of the references are now outdated, I simply don't find the lyrics cohesive enough to enjoy them.
By contrast, I thoroughly enjoy the Simon Armitage poem Thank You for Waiting, which is structured as an airport boarding announcement, but the categories of passengers he describes become increasingly more bizarre. Taken together, all the lines poke fun at the class system.
So for me, even a loose cohesiveness or some form of internal logic makes all the difference between the nonsense I enjoy and the nonsense I don't. Remember this is only my definition, and it's not wrong to like what everyone else hates, or vice versa.

The Project That Turns into Another
In April, the first of two Camp NaNoWriMo events takes place. This is a less involved version of the main National Novel Writing Month in November, where members can choose their own word count or even a different type of literary project.
My aim was to produce another draft of the novel I'd redrafted in November, spending a target average of one hour per day. However, I haven't done any of this editing so far because my time has been taken up organising three live events over the next month. There will be more about those in the next entry.
In fact, the entry you'll see next week has already been partially written, and that's because I put aside that for a piece that came to me yesterday, prompted by a sign on a coffee machine that read 'Biscuits don't live here'.
It certainly isn't the first occasion where I've felt inclined to put one project aside in favour of another. Depending on the time constraints, I usually choose the one that's eating away at me the most.
In the case of the biscuits poem, I probably would never have completed this if I'd left it aside to write the original blog entry. By contrast, I know I'll come back to that entry next week because this space needs to be filled.

A Nickname That Sticks
At my school, some of the boys acquired nicknames that stuck with them until they left.
Some were rather obvious: 'Wilf' was derived from the first name William, while 'Gubby' was shortened from the surname Gilbertson.
But some were a little stranger. One boy was dubbed 'Beefy', not for being fat, but after an incident that isn't necessary to repeat. And I never did find out how Adam started to be called 'Cuba'
A nickname in a story can be a powerful way of telling the reader about the personality of the character or the type of friends that surround them. The best nicknames work with mutual consent, but not necessarily consent with the nicknamed party.
In the William Golding novel Lord of the Flies, Piggy says early on that he doesn't want to be called Piggy. Yet nobody had thought of calling him this until he mentioned it, then everyone started doing it.
When just one person has another name for a character, it tells us as much about the person who uses that name as the person it applies to.
Perhaps it's a close bond between the two. In the crime series NCIS, Ducky nearly always calls Gibbs by his first name 'Jethro' because they're old friends.
Conversely, I've witnessed the opposite relationship. In a previous job, one colleague accidentally referred to another as 'Declan' instead of Brendan. For the next three years, he continued to use 'Declan', seemingly oblivious that none of the rest of us found it funny, least of all Brendan.

The Formal and the Informal
Modern English is a hybrid of many earlier languages, principally Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon. As such, it's possible to communicate with a different level of formality depending on the choice of words used.
For instance, an object might be described as 'round' in everyday speech or as 'circular' in a technical description. You might describe a show as 'funny' to a friend, but as 'humorous' in an arts review.
Beginner writers often confuse the two tones, giving their characters long sentences, resulting in unnatural speech. In particular, I find that Victorian novelists were not good at writing an informal tone .
Additionally, the structure of a given sentence can support its tone. It's a common misconception that a sentence can't begin with a conjunction (and, but, &c) nor end with a preposition (with, from, &c). While these traits should be avoided in formal writing, you can begin and end a sentence with any words, provided they make sense in context.
An interesting blend of styles can be found in many Bible passages. While the language used tends to be formal in tone, the stories were often passed by word of mouth over several generations before being written. It's therefore common to find verses that begin with conjunctions, much like someone would speak out loud.

FX renews 'Justified' for second season!
THIS POST NOW LIVES AT THIS LOCATION!
More on Justified from Telematic Dan!

Interview with Elmore Leonard and Graham Yost, creators of the series "Justified" on FX
"Justified" created by Graham Yost and Elmore Leonard
"Raylan has his dark side… But the guy is a hero.
I thought, 'Man, it would be fun to do a show
which has a true-blue hero.'"
Justified is based on the Elmore Leonard short story "Fire in the Hole" (read it here) which provides the story for the pilot episode, in which U.S. Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens returns to his hometown of Harlan, Kentucky, to track his old coal-mining buddy Boyd Crowder, an ex-con now leading a Neo-Nazi terrorist group, after Boyd blows up a black church with an RPG. Raylan meets Boyd at the home of Boyd's sister-in-law Ava Crowder; [SPOILERS AHEAD] firearms are brandished and Boyd comes out on the wrong end of Raylan's six-shooter. Boyd dies at the end of the Leonard story, but not in the Justified pilot. Which means veteran actor Walton Goggins will be returning to the show at some point (fun link: Walton Goggins' blog from India in 2009: http://www.hindutoyoutoo.blogspot.com/).
Graham Yost is the series creator/Executive Producer of Justified and a veteran writer/director in film and television with an impressive list of credits that includes Band of Brothers, Boomtown, Raines and The Pacific and the feature films Speed, Broken Arrow and Mission to Mars. He won an Emmy for his work on the mini-series From the Earth to the Moon.
Elmore Leonard is an Executive Producer of Justified and the legendary novelist and short story writer whose works have spawned several feature films, including Out of Sight, Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, Stick, Mr. Majestyk and 3:10 to Yuma. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana but has lived in Michigan since 1934. He is also well-known for his "10 Rules of Writing."

Justified on FX — Best New Show on Television — two new clips (video)
Justified is the best new show on television. I've covered since it premiered and it's clear that it's having an impact, garnering tons of positive press and a loyal army of fans.
This is one of those cases where no-brainer typecasting was exactly the route to go. Timothy Olyphant played a mean sheriff on Deadwood so they got him to play a mean Marshall on Justified. And, why not? He's great at it. Trust me, you don't want to get into a smoldering stare contest with U.S. Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens, nor do you want to draw down on him. You especially don't want to draw down on him. Either way, I tell ya what: you're gonna lose sumthin' awful.
The man and his ten-gallon hat.
But Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens is not your standard white hat (you gotta give it up: that hat is bad-ass). What sets the character, and Olyphant's performance apart from other bad-ass law enforcers on television is his shame, regret and confusion that accompanies each of his kills. He gets that look before each showdown, where he has to stay hard and alert so the perp won't win, but what he really wants is for that perp to put down their weapon so one more death won't take one more chunk out of Raylan's soul. But that rarely happens, so Raylan has to fire, and (thus far) there's no quicker gun than him.
And for a second, as the smoke still rises from his pistol, Raylan looks like he's going to be sick to his stomach. Because he just killed a man who didn't need to die. And because he's afraid he's beginning to like it. He's becoming the killer; the type he hunts as a U.S. Marshall. Is this who he truly is? Why is he like this? Can he alter this course? Has he been running from his true identity?
The pilot sets the tone, the theme and the central dramatic question of a series. The pilot for Justified opens with Raylan Givens giving a killer an ultimatum to surrender or die in exactly 60 seconds; just as the timer runs out, the con pulls a gun and Raylan shoots and kills him. Did Raylan provoke him? Was this the only way to bring the man to justice? Was this shooting justified? The episode ends with him telling his ex-wife that he never thought he was an angry man. She replies: "Raylan, you're the angriest man I've ever known." And this troubles him.
Like William Munny in Unforgiven, is he in fact the man that everyone says he is? A stone-cold killer?
The best way for a man who's runnng from his past to confront his demons is to send him back to his home town. So that's what the show's creators have done; this forces Raylan to face his family, old friends and old enemies alike in his search for the true man that he is.
The writers also do a fantastic job at finding reasons for quick-draw matches pretty much every week. This comes as no surprise to fans of creator Graham Yost, an industry veteran screenwriter, producer and director, with such credits as Speed, Broken Arrow, Boomtown, Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Yost brings exactly the right balance of character and plot mechanics to the series, and he knows how to convincingly build to that inevitable, oh-so-satisfying six-shooter showdown.
And it all stems from the stories and characters of Elmore Leonard. So there's a brutally cool creative team behind this show, and it's paying off.
If you haven't tuned in yet, do it now. Watch it. You've got precisely 1.5 seconds before I draw this firearm. And when I shoot, I aim to kill.
Did I forget to mention the sexy Southern Belles?

"Yes, your message may be picked by someone else," notes Roger Buck, former director of marketing and product development at The Flesh Company. "But the chances are small - and direct mail never has a virus."
Direct mail is a bit like a note on the refrigerator door. "We sometimes hear from customers that our mail stays on their desk for weeks," says Andre Palko, president of Technifold USA. "They may not immediately take action, but our brand lingers until they are ready to contact us. An e-mail does not last as well - and is far less striking. "
Larry Bradley, owner of Proforma Sunbelt Graphics, writes: "The overwhelming deluge of e-mail in the office is a solid hurdle for e-mail marketers. It is difficult to distinguish the mess from the real mails, so that a large part of business e-mails is not read at all. By contrast, companies receive much less marketing by mail than ten years ago - a unique advantage for direct mail. "

USA TODAY vaccine panel says the US has nailed the science behind the COVID vaccine. Next up: logistics and trust.
Experts are thrilled about the reported safety and effectiveness of two COVID-19 vaccines rolling out across the country. But they remain concerned about what still could go wrong to shake the public's fragile faith in it.
(C) Javier Zarracina/USA Today promo_vaccine_panel_dec
Nearly everything about the process has gone well so far, shepherded by the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed. The first two vaccines, one from Pfizer-BioNTech and the other from Moderna, were ready well before anyone expected. Trials showed them to be among the most effective vaccines ever, particularly for a notoriously hard-to-prevent respiratory virus.
Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning. And the initial days of the rollout, while far from perfect, have already led to 3 million vaccinations in the U.S., mostly among frontline health care workers.
Federal officials expect 20 million doses to be manufactured and available for shipping by early January, another 30 million doses by the end of that month, and 50 million more by the end of February. Vaccines should become available for the general public as soon as late February or early March, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar. In interviews with USA TODAY over the past several days, a dozen vaccine experts were more guarded.
Most think vaccines won't become widely available until late spring or early summer, assuming no production problems and the authorization of two additional vaccines by sometime in February. The federal government should under-promise and over-deliver, advised panel member Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of immunization education at the Immunization Action Coalition, a nonprofit that distributes information about vaccines and the diseases they prevent. "Projecting concrete dates that we cannot know risks setting the public up for needless frustration and disappointment," she said.
The panel members' concerns mainly revolve around what will happen before vaccines are widely available. They worry the public could lose faith in the vaccine because of more allergic reactions like those already seen a few times or some other symptom - whether it's actually linked to the vaccine or not.
(C) Marta Lavandier, AP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis watches nurse Christine Philips administer the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for COVID-19 to Vera Leip, 88, a resident of John Knox Village on Dec.
16 in Pompano Beach, Fla. Nursing home residents and health care workers are the first in the state to receive the vaccine.
And they're concerned about potential glitches in distribution or any of the thousands of other things that could go awry with such a complex scientific, logistical and political process. "Areas of particular concern," Moore said, "include unpredictable supply issues, storage and handling failures resulting in vaccine waste, and all sorts of data management and data sharing challenges resulting from the use of several new IT systems."
Every month, members of USA TODAY's expert panel gauge the progress of COVID-19 vaccines by choosing the time on an imaginary clock that began at midnight with the discovery of the virus in early 2020 and ends at noon, when a vaccine is freely available across the U.S. Each month, we calculate the median time - the midpoint of their estimates. In June, that was 4 a.m.
By October, the sun had risen and their consensus fell at 8 a.m. The time for November shot ahead to 9:30 a.m. - the biggest advance in a month to that point. For December, the panel returned to its steady pace and advanced the clock one hour to 10:30 a.m.
Overall, panelists said they're impressed with the development and manufacturing of the first two authorized vaccines.
"Manufacturing has been managed remarkably well," said Prashant Yadav, a medical supply chain expert and senior fellow with the Center for Global Development, an international development think tank based in Washington, D.C., and London. Typically with a fast scale-up, "we usually have more hiccups," Yadav said. So far, concerns have turned out to be overblown about maintaining the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at the necessary super-cold temperature, said Prakash Nagarkatti, vice president for research at the University of South Carolina, in Columbia.
Several panel members said they were pleasantly surprised both vaccines appear safe - with no major, long-term problems - and are more than 94% effective. "I was worried that the vaccine(s) would not be this effective but was thrilled with the results," said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease researcher at the University of California-San Francisco. "This is amazing and very impressive," said Pamela Bjorkman, a structural biologist at the California Institute of Technology. "I was worried about serious side effects from vaccinations, but there appears to be little to no evidence of this so far."

A few sleepless nights to come?
Many of the panelists said they're still worried something will go wrong, causing the public to lose trust in the vaccine.
Right now, the biggest concerns are allergic reactions, which are rare but seem to be occurring more frequently than they should be, and a handful of cases of Bell's palsy, a neurological condition affecting muscles on one side of the face. It's usually temporary, but Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, frets that more cases may drive people away from getting vaccinated.
"I'd like to see that not be a big problem," he said. Sometimes, relatively rare events like Bell's palsy crop up more often than they should purely by chance. If you flipped a coin as many times as there were people in both vaccine trials, you could end up with heads five times in a row, he noted. "That's the tyranny of small numbers in large databases."
(C) Pool photo by PAUL SANCYA Boxes containing the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are prepared to be shipped at the McKesson distribution center in Olive Branch, Miss.
Offit, who is eager to get the vaccine himself in the next week or two, said he was concerned recently when he met a phlebotomist who won't take the vaccine because he's convinced that Blacks like him will get a different vaccine than whites - though of course that's not true.
"What worries all of us is that there would be a serious adverse event that was permanent," Offit said. "Then people would recalculate whether they think it's worth getting the vaccine." Even if a side effect is extraordinarily rare and the likelihood of being infected with COVID-19 remains quite high, people may turn away from the vaccine, he said. "Statistically, they're probably still so much better off getting the vaccine, because this is a common virus, a virus which even if it doesn't kill you can cause permanent harm," he said. "But people don't view risk that way," and people may conclude -- against scientific evidence -- that the danger posed by the vaccine outweighs that of the virus.
Among the panelists' other worries: There's plenty of time for serious production issues to cause problems. Rich people could try to jump the line. And one scenario is out of anyone's control: The virus could mutate to make the vaccines less effective.
The risk of mutation "increases the longer we let millions of people continue to get infected and transmit the virus from one to another," said Dr. Gregory Poland, director of the Mayo Clinic's Vaccine Research Group and editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine.
(C) Provided by USA TODAY Vice President Mike Pence received the COVID-19 vaccine on December 18.
Still more to do on public messaging
Still more panelists expressed concern about the lack of federal outreach to reassure people that the vaccine is safe. Peter Pitts, president and cofounder of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, said it's important that Vice President Mike Pence was publicly vaccinated earlier this week. That "sends an important message to his core constituency -- many of whom are vaccine skeptics -- that now is not the time to allow lingering political animus to trump public health priorities."
More still needs to be done, he said, to reach out to communities of color who are hesitant to take the vaccine.
(C) Karen Ducey, Getty Images Abigail Echo-Hawk, Chief Research Officer with Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB) and a member of the Pawnee Tribe, shows off her arm after she received a shot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, at the SIHB, on Dec.
21, 2020 in Seattle, Wash. A colleague used a black pen to inscribe, For the (Heart) love of Native People over the spot where she got the injection.
"Having an abundance of safe and effective vaccines is a tremendous victory," said Pitts, a former Food and Drug Administration associate commissioner for external relations. "Failing to coordinate access and convince our fellow citizens to roll up their sleeves and do the right thing would be an inexcusable failure." People will need to be reminded to get their booster shots -- both vaccines authorized so far require two doses -- and to continue taking precautions like wearing masks and maintaining distance until transmission has been stopped, said Sandra Crouse Quinn, senior associate director of the Maryland Center for Health Equity and chair of the department of family science at the University of Maryland School of Public Health.
"All of that said, and of course, I could say more," she said, "these are fabulous developments -- the first glimmer of a light at the end of the tunnel."
USA TODAY asked scientists, researchers and other experts how far they think the vaccine development effort has progressed since Jan.
1, when the virus was first recognized. A dozen responded. We aggregated their responses and calculated the median, the midway point among them.

Hanging Walls of Mark Anthony
Eden (District Authority)
Culgaith
NY 65211 32198
The Hanging Walls of Mark Anthony, Medieval Lynchets and Building Platform.
Strip lynchets provide distinctive indications of medieval cultivation, representing a means to increase the land available for cultivation by the construction of terraces on steep slopes. The fields thus formed were used as a part of the strip tenurial system of medieval land division. They occur widely in southern and south eastern England, and are prominent features on the Wessex chalkland. Each lynchet or terrace has two components, consisting of a scarp or riser and flat strip or tread. They can be up to 600m in length, and whilst many systems include only two or three lynchets, some have five, six or more.
The Hanging Walls of Mark Anthony lynchets and building platform are reasonably well-preserved and provide insight into medieval farming practice. Due to their prominent position they are a significant landmark in the local landscape and will contain archaeological deposits relating to their construction, use and abandonment.
This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 29 March 2016. This record has been generated from an "old county number" (OCN) scheduling record. These are monuments that were not reviewed under the Monuments Protection Programme and are some of our oldest designation records.
The monument includes the remains of a series of medieval lynchets and a building platform, situated on a hillock next to Ran Beck. The lynchets, or cultivation terraces, lie on the breast of the hillock overlooking the beck and are laid out with two terraces, fanning out into four terraces and then returning to two terraces again. Ramps between terraces are preserved as earthworks, there is also an unenclosed spring known as Mark Anthony's Well at the west end of the site and on the top of the hillock are the foundations of a circular building and a revetted bank.

It is very important to get into shape to improve your health. But since there is so much to learn about fitness, it can be hard to determine where to begin. You're in luck because in this article you can learn about getting into shape.
Are you strapped for time when it comes to working out? Split up your workout. Do not increase the time you workout, but try to break it into a half. Just workout a 1/2 an hour during the day and a 1/2 an hour at night. With two smaller workouts, you also have the flexibility to do one in the gym and one outside or at home.
Maximize your results by varying your workout activities. A person who usually uses a treadmill for exercise purposes can go for a run through the neighborhood. Walking on a sidewalk is different than walking on a treadmill. By keeping things changing in your workout, weight loss is possible and the body will not feel too used to any specific exercise.
Depending on your ultimate goal, the frequency of your strength training will vary. If you want to get bigger and stronger muscles, you should do strength training exercise sessions less often. However, if you are looking to be lean, then you will want to workout everyday that you can.
Build up the strength in your forearms by trying an exercise that racquetball and tennis players utilize. Lay out a flat piece of newspaper on a desk or table. Then use your more powerful hand to crumple and crush the paper. Continue for about thirty seconds. After you do this two time, change hands and do it again with your nondominant hand, then two more times in your original dominant hand.
There are more than just advantages for your body when you maintain your fitness level. If you start a regular workout routine, you could discover a significant increase in your emotional health and well-being. When you exercise, you release endorphins, which are chemicals that make you feel happier. You will look better and feel better. This helps to build self-esteem and confidence. Regularly exercising is good for you body and mind.
Box squats are a wonderful way to increase the size of your quadriceps. By doing box squats, you'll get explosive power for regular squats. The only equipment you require is a box that you can position behind you. Do the squat regularly, but as you reach the box and sit down, you need to pause.
Not everyone has the time or money to buy a gym membership, but one easy fitness tip anyone can do is to simply take your dog for a nightly walk. If your pet loves to get out and walk, he will never get tired of going for a walk. Make sure to take it easy at first. Walk around the block you live on and judge whether or not you're capable of anything more when you are back in front of your house. This is a benefit of having a canine companion.
Get fit with some yard work. Yards, lawns, and gardens require a lot of attention and maintenance, and you need to get active. What a winning combination. Therefore, you should aim to get outside, and make improvements to your yard at least one time a week in order to ensure that you get some type of needed physical activity. The end result will be a better yard and a better body.
You should try and do outdoor exercises when the weather permits it. You could go for walks or runs outside or exercise in your backyard. You will feel refreshed and get a work out. Breathing fresh air in open spaces is known to improve mental capacity and alleviate stress-related maladies.
Leg extensions will help your quadriceps. Leg extensions can be done at the gym, as most gyms have a machine to help with extensions. While you are in the sitting position, push your legs up.
A handy fitness tip during crunches is to apply pressure to the top of your mouth with your tongue. Holding your tongue in this position keeps your neck muscles properly aligned as you do your ab exercises. By doing this, you prevent straining in a harmful manner and other accidental injuries.
Like we said above, if you follow these tips, you'll be on your way to being in better shape. This knowledge provides a sound basis for continued learning and expansion of your fitness education and abilities. Good health is something that takes time, so use the tips you find here on a regular basis to see the best results.
Many people are interested in Get Massive Arms With Legal Steroids and Legal Steroids to Improve Your Fitness Levels, but many also do not have the knowledge necessary on the topic. Thankfully, this article contains excellent tips to help you move ahead. Just put all this advice to good use.

Back to Sankhya Yoga & Indian Cosmology
Quintessential Quintuplications #86
The crucially important but almost entirely forgotten dharma teaching of Panchakarana — how manifestation from the internal source proceeds outwards to the gross physical universe in sets of fives — gets presented in this helpful chart. It shows all dimensions of this process of expression, from subtle principles to the five elements, as well as other sets of quintuplications that both serve and support each other in the interim. With this ancient system brought back into contemporary consciousness, dedicated meditators can "connect the dots" leading from outer life to inner existence, like lost souls following a trail of bread crumbs back to the Source.
Quintessential Quintuplications #86 quantity
SKU: dawc-0086 Category: Sankhya Yoga & Indian Cosmology
Srsti Rahasya — Tantra's Secret of Creation #98
All of the religious traditions of the world possess some system or ideology that proposes what the origins of life are and where they come from. Of them all, India stands out and is head and shoulders beyond the others, mainly because its cosmology is both sensible to the intellect and philosophically sound. In India's well-thought, deeply meditated systems of cosmology there is no conjecture based in hope or sentimentality, no faint-hearted appeal leveled towards attracting the soul towards the phenomenal and the occult. There is no force utilized based in fear of damnation or alienation. There is no immortality, either on earth or in heaven. There is just the Eternal beyond them both. Mother India has many darshanas, clear pathways to Freedom, and these the Divine Mother reveals to souls seeking the highest Refuge. With any one of these, like Tantra's Srsti Rahasya, Origins both physical and spiritual will be plumbed, resulting in the full understanding of the presence and meaning of all worlds and the beings who abide in them.
9 Complacencies & 8 Great Accomplishments #205
In a beautiful rendering of key elements of the ancient Sankhya philosophy, much of which is lost to present day humanity, this two-sided teaching gives out the do's and dont's of the spiritual pathway in a succinctly effective manner. Complacencies are weights upon spiritual progress, and true to form according to many of the world's religions, Sankhya Yoga reveals how wealth can be a real bane on the higher goals of meaningful life. On the opposite hand, accomplishments are the joys of inner striving, and those mentioned on this dharmic wisdom chart form an essential list of them.
The Stainless Cause of the Universe #74
India's cosmology is ancient and thorough in its depth and its scope. It is also eternal, since it sites principles that the Divine Being, in all its many aspects, utilizes to project, sustain, and dissolve the many realms of name and form that exist in time and space. Though the Divine Being is beyond causality, is the Causeless Cause, Its amazing Mind, the Mahat, or Hiranyagarbha, facilitates the appearance of countless worlds peopled by an infinite amount of living beings, all under the auspice of the Mahashakti, the Divine Feminine Power. Coming to know of this trickle-down process, from the highest and deepest Escalon on out to the gross, physical plane of existence, the soul very soon reaches for and attains the highest Wisdom that solves all problems, settles all issues, and even puts death to death.
Kalpa — The Concept of Time in Vedic Cosmology #78
For the higher elucidation of the Western cultures in modern times, the dharmic teaching of kalpas is offered forth so as to inform the people of the ancient rishi's way of looking at time — predominantly that it is a concept in the mind, and ultimately illusory. Also, its appearance, real or not, rolls on far longer than even the western evolutionary theory assigns to the age of the physical universe. The kalpa reckoning takes into account how time expands inside of worlds that are contained within the mind, and in God's Mind (Mahat). Thus, it broadens the human thinking process far beyond the short-sighted conventional ideas of a very young Western scientific view.

UWM and UWColleges Restructuring
Faculty and Staff FAQ
View All FAQ – UWM/UW-Milwaukee Regional Transition
UW System FAQ
Transition Committee & Teams
FAQ – Students
I enjoy the small classes in Waukesha and Washington County. Will they be increasing? How big are classes at UWM?
Class sizes vary depending upon the course, enrollment and the faculty's determination of the most appropriate mode of instruction. We do not anticipate an increase in class sizes at any of the three campuses. At UWM at Waukesha, the average class size is currently about 25 students. At UWM at Washington County, it is 24. At UWM, the average class size is 26, and more than 40 percent of our undergraduate classes have 19 or fewer students in them.
I was a student at UW-Waukesha/UW-Washington County. What school do I go to now?
You are a student at UWM. You attend one of its branch campuses, which are now known as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Waukesha and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Washington County. You could also say you attend UWM at Waukesha or UWM at Washington County.
Will professors at UWM at Waukesha and UWM at Washington County lose their jobs because they don't have tenure?
There is no plan to lay off professors. A system for faculty governance will be established that provides faculty at the two-year campuses with a voice in determining how tenure will be granted. That system is still being developed.
What is going to happen with the athletics programs at UWM at Waukesha and UWM at Washington County?
Athletics at the branch campuses will use a "club sport" model starting in Fall 2018. Under the club sport proposal, these athletics programs will:
Be defined as "club sports" in all institutional documentation.
Differ from club sports at UWM in that they may have paid coaches and funding for WCC staff and operations.
Be funded with allocable segregated fees.
Be referred to as "college athletics" for marketing purposes.
Continue to function under the structure and direction of the Wisconsin Collegiate Conference (WCC).
What will be the alumni status for someone who graduates from UWM at Waukesha or UWM at Washington County?
Students who graduate from UWM at Waukesha and UWM at Washington County will be University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee alumni.
If I go to school in Waukesha or Washington County, do I have to transfer to the main UWM campus to finish my bachelor's degree?
To complete their four-year degree at the main UWM campus during the 2018-19 school year (fall 2018 through summer of 2019), students must follow the same transfer process they previously did, which can be found here. For 2019-20 and going forward, students who are admitted to and attend the branch campuses will transition to the main campus of UWM using a different process that has yet to be defined. The process will be clarified by the Undergraduate Admissions Office and/or Registrar's Office. The goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible.
How will the restructuring affect services for veterans?
In the first year, there will be no changes to veterans' services. UWM has considerable expertise in providing veterans' services, and those services will transition sometime next year.
Will transportation be provided for students traveling among the three campuses to take classes?
Students will continue to register at just one campus, choosing the one that best fits their needs. As a result, we do not anticipate the need to provide students with transportation between the three campuses.
Will I be able to go to Pantherfest and UWM basketball games?
Yes, students in Waukesha and Washington County will be able to attend Pantherfest and UWM basketball games. These are two of the most popular events supported by UWM student segregated fees.
How will student organizations at the two-year campuses be affected by the restructuring?
Student life is an integral part of the college experience, and funding from student segregated fees at those campuses will continue to support student organizations there.
How will student governance be affected by the restructuring?
Wisconsin law calls for students to determine how they are organized at each campus. Therefore, student governance leaders are being asked to determine how they would like to be organized moving forward. No determination has been made yet.
I am a current student working toward meeting the requirements of the Badger Promise program. How will the restructuring affect that?
Students enrolled at the two-year campuses and already working toward meeting the requirements of the Badger Promise transfer agreement will still be eligible for the transfer, as well as the financial support included in that program.
What is going to happen to the guaranteed transfer program?
The guaranteed transfer programs will continue to be honored through spring 2019. UW System also is working to improve transfer options to all comprehensive and research institutions.
Can I still transfer to other UW four-year institutions, or do I have to go to UWM?
Students in Waukesha and Washington County will still be able to transfer between all UW System institutions, as long as they meet an institution's admissions requirements.
UWM has a lot of food options at its campus. Can we get some of those options at my campus?
Planning teams are looking at auxiliary services, such as food offerings, to determine the best way to provide quality options at affordable prices. No decisions have been made yet.
Will my financial aid be affected by the restructuring of the two-year campuses?
No changes are expected in the financial aid packages processed and awarded.
How will student segregated fees be affected?
A Student Affairs team, which includes members who are students, is examining the issue of segregated fees at the three campuses. Part of their work has involved a survey of students in Waukesha and Washington County regarding their preferences. No decisions have been made yet.
How will my tuition be affected?
Tuition for the 2018-19 school year will remain unchanged. We know the two-year campuses are important access points for many students, and we are committed to keeping higher education affordable.
What support does UWM offer for students who haven't yet chosen majors? Is it available to all students?
Academic advisors at all three campuses will work with you on selecting appropriate courses that support your academic exploration and help you identify the best pathway into a major. Along with academic advising, UWM offers career and major exploration fairs, career planning resources and a breadth of general education requirements that will support any major you eventually choose.
If I want to take some classes at UWM's main campus in Milwaukee, will I have that option?
To enroll at UWM's main campus, you must be admitted to UWM in a bachelor's degree program. In the future, some courses may be available to students enrolled at the Waukesha and Washington County campuses, but not at this time.

Over the years we've had a number of different strength and conditioning coaches and personal trainers come into our clinic. One question that always comes up is, "Why are you looking for straight lines and 90° angles in your movements during therapy?"
In the strength & conditioning world, a lot of coaches shy away from complete extension of the knee in a Romanian Dead Lift (RDL), because it is difficult to perform correctly with weight. By extending the knees, you make it more difficult to activate the glutes, and place more of the load on the hamstrings and back. If performed incorrectly, it can lead to damage to involved ligaments or the back.
During a Neuro Therapy session, we remove this risk because there is no weighted load.
The load is provided only by electrically induced muscular contraction. Therefore, we can safely train the muscles at the end range of motion.
1. Quickly identify compensation patterns and ranges of motion where our clients cannot demonstrate neuromuscular control.
Straight lines and right angles are easy to see with the naked eye, and if the client deviates from that pattern, it shows us there is a lack of control or compensation pattern in that range.
2. Train muscles in their fully lengthened state.
As I mentioned earlier, it's difficult to train with weights at the end ranges of motion. Most of us simply don't have enough control there to train with the amount of weight we use to build strength. Working in straight lines and right angles takes many muscles to a fully lengthened state, helping us to reset length-tension relationships.
A future blog will discuss what we call the hip hinge epidemic (there needs to be a book written about this topic because it is ridiculous how many people struggle with this movement, yet it should be so simple). Essentially, it's the inability to isolate and rotate the hips anteriorly and/or posteriorly on command - see figure 1. We find that many of our clients cannot do this on day 1 of therapy. You could infer this issue is a contributing factor to many lower body/back issues - but once again, it's a topic for another time.
But how does the hip/hinge epidemic topic play a role in this discussion?
The length/tension relationships between all opposing muscle groups we are targeting are off.
The glutes shorten (instead of opening up and lengthening), the back extends (rounds), and the hips posteriorly rotate (or tuck under the body) instead of anteriorly rotate (see figure 2).
Now take this same thought process and apply it to our 90° methodology. Let's put different body parts to make 90°. Same objectives, same thought processes, same outcomes.
All in all, we are not looking to change form, we are not saying there is one way to move that is better than the other, and we are definitely not saying your strength and conditioning coach is wrong when telling you to Romanian deadlift aka RDL (with a bend in the knees).
We are simply looking to place the body in the most basic positions possible so we can easily identify compensation patterns and reset length/tension relationships.

With COVID More or Less Easing, Is it Finally Safe to Go Back to the Office?
by Dr. Kathy Head May 29, 2022 May 30, 2022
Masked employees in an office. Photo via Pixabay
Since the start of the pandemic, kitchen tables have been transformed into workstations and virtual meetings have become the norm. But as the pace of COVID-19 vaccinations continues to roll along, COVID-19 case numbers drop from earlier surge levels and restrictions are lifted, workers and employers are beginning to contemplate a return to the workplace.
For those who have been working from home for nearly two years, a few questions exist:
When will I return to my office?
What will it look like?
When Will We Return to Work?
The first question is not so easily answered, as it appears to be a constantly moving target. Some companies are taking a wait-and-see approach before announcing an official return.
However, others have announced a return to in-office work. And some have initiated a hybrid return — some days working remotely, some on-site.
What Will My Workplace Look Like?
The second question offers a more definitive response. The workplace will look different, at least initially, as more people return to the work environment. While precautions for COVID-19 have changed, certain guidelines for workplaces are still in effect.
Aligning with guidelines from the state of California, many workplaces will no longer require face masks indoors, but may strongly recommend them — especially when working close to others. Employees may need to wear masks — made available upon request and at no cost to employees — in employer-provided transportation and during COVID-19 outbreaks, as mandated by local and state regulations at the time of outbreak.
Standard precautions, such as social distancing when possible and frequently washing hands, will also stay in effect. Indoor gatherings, such as eating together or holding meetings at full capacity, are still not recommended. These practices may remain in effect for a while in certain environments.
It is also very likely that some workplaces will continue to require the use of masks even after the pandemic reaches endemic levels of spread. This is especially true in health care and long-term care settings, which pose a higher risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Will it Be Safe to Return to Work?
Both the California Department of Public Health and Cal/OSHA require a safe work environment to decrease the risk of COVID-19 infection among employees at work. Therefore, vaccination, screening and an appropriate period of isolation when employees are sick may be required to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that contagious people do not come to work.
The best place to start is by getting fully vaccinated, which includes receiving a vaccine booster shot. COVID-19 vaccination helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 and decreases morbidity and mortality in our community. Talk with your doctor whether it is appropriate to receive a second booster dose and, if so, you should receive it.
While virtual interactions have been great in bringing people together and allowing for communication and meetings to continue in the business setting, returning to the workplace will likely be embraced by many, particularly for the social benefits. There is something reassuring and meaningful in dealing with colleagues in person.

Transational Terrorism — Evolving Threats and Responses'
Mr. Shafqat Munir, Head of Bangladesh Centre for Terrorism Research (BCTR) and Research Fellow at BIPSS recently spoke at the annual conference of the United Services Institute of India (USI). The central theme of the conference was 'Transational Terrorism — Evolving Threats and Responses'. Mr. Munir deliberated on 'Evolving Trends of Radicalisation in South Asia'. In his presentation he highlighted the current challenges and emerging trends in violent extremism and radialisation and proffered some important policy recommendations. The conference was attended by senior policy makers, academics, members of the armed forces, members of the local and foreign media and foreign diplomats stationed in New Delhi. Speakers at the conferences included scholars and practitioners from various countries and regions.
Established in 1780 the USI is the oldest think tank in South Asian and perhaps the wider Indo-Pacific region. Over the decades it has established itself as a centre of excellence on national security studies. BIPSS has an institutional partnership with USI for over a decade.

It would be neat if in the action framework there was an action for "iterate through model" which would have sub actions. The sub action sequence would repeat a number of times equal to the number of rows in the designated iteration model. Each repeat would put the next row of the iteration model in context allowing you to grab out field values from the row in context of the iteration model to use in the sub actions. This would blow open a whole new range of possibilities. For example: you could create an action sequence that activates and sets the value of model conditions on Model A, then sets Model A as the "Iterate through model" model. It would give you the ability to create very interactive "on the fly" loops for creating and updating rows.
Interesting idea Raymond. I like the way you think.
Great idea Raymond. Also, another strong use case for "Custom Actions". Short of waiting for "iterate model" to be added to the core Action Framework, in about 60 minutes, a custom action could be written to accomplish it. +1 for iterate model action framework support and for custom action support!

The online retailer The Iconic (officially named Internet Services Australia 1 Pty Ltd in Australia) that popped up in 2011 and started laying waste to its bricks and mortar competitors is now itself in trouble.
Recent reports have emerged that The Iconic, which promises excellent service and speedy delivery as its selling points, is hemorrhaging both money and staff as it tries to cut costs to stop the bleeding.
From August 2011 to December 2012, Iconic had revenue of $30.6 million but a loss of more than $44.7 million.
The company's owners, the German Samwer brothers have used a similar model of doing business that has led to great success in Germany, India, Singapore, Poland and the Philippines through their head company, Rocket Internet.
Internal documents from the company that had been obtained by the media show that the company's business plan is to jump into new markets and become number one at any cost using the promise of free, overnight delivery.

Reasons given for iSelect's poor performance were that its technology was "not groundbreaking" and it already has strong competition in its field with even more competition possible.

SEAHAWKS: Holmgren: Offense must improve
By Jim Cour, The Associated Press — Oct 21st, 1999
* The Seattle coach says the Seahawks need to put points on the scoreboard to keep playoff hopes alive.
KIRKLAND - Take it from Mike Holmgren, who knows exactly what it takes to get there. If the Seattle Seahawks' offense keeps playing as poorly as it did in San Diego, the team's bid to make the playoffs is in trouble.
"It's a tall order unless you can score some points," Seattle's first-year coach said Wednesday. "If we're only to score 10 points a game for the rest of the season, that would be pretty tough."
Holmgren, who coached Green Bay into two Super Bowls, watched the Seahawks lose 13-10 to the Chargers in a woeful offensive performance last Sunday. Seattle hosts the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
In a game that magnified the absence of holdout wide receiver Joey Galloway and his ability to stretch defenses with his speed, the Seahawks got pass interceptions from Brian Walker, Chris Canty, Cortez Kennedy and Willie Williams in the second half against the Chargers.
It turned out it wasn't enough.
Walker's interception set up Seattle's only touchdown, a 1-yard pass from Jon Kitna to Itula Mili.
The Seahawks' offense couldn't get going against the Chargers and Junior Seau. Their rushing attack was particularly ineffective, gaining only 61 yards on 27 carries. Kitna was 17-for-29 for 151 yards and a touchdown with an interception.
John Carney's 41-yard field goal as time expired ended the Seahawks' three-game winning streak and left Holmgren frustrated.
Three days later, Holmgren tried to look at the Seahawks' final 11 games optimistically. His offense is testing his positive approach to coaching, though.
With a relatively inexperienced quarterback in Kitna, in his first full season as Seattle's starter, and an unproductive offensive line, the Seahawks rank 25th in the 31-team NFL in offense and are 29th in rushing. Ricky Watters is averaging a career-low 3.1 yards per carry.
Holmgren doesn't know if he has enough talent on offense to make it work in Seattle, which is without its best offensive player, Galloway.
"Right now, that doesn't matter," Holmgren told a news conference when asked if he thought he had enough offensive talent. "There's not a lot I can do about that right now. The trading deadline passed, and we've drafted our players. I have to make it work somehow with this group."
Seahawks president Bob Whitsitt made Holmgren the highest-paid coach in the league at $32 million for eight years. Holmgren was hired to end Seattle's 10-year playoff drought, longest in the NFL.
"Our goals haven't changed," Holmgren said. "We're still shooting for the playoffs and that kind of stuff."
On Tuesday, the league's trading deadline, the Seahawks held onto Galloway. So if he plays for them this season, it will be his decision to come back for what's left of his $1.585 million contract. Galloway is in the final season of his five-year contract with the Seahawks.
In an effort to give the Seahawks' offense some help, Holmgren said he may give second-year running back Ahman Green his first carries of the season as Watters' understudy. After having fumbling problems in Seattle's first five games, Green has been limited to returning kickoffs this season. Green has more speed than Watters.
The Seahawks listed strong safety Darryl Williams as doubtful for the Buffalo game, meaning he has a 25 percent chance of playing this week. Williams is sidelined with a strained left hamstring after being injured in the San Diego contest. Wide receiver Mike Pritchard, who suffered a sprained left knee against the Chargers, is listed as questionable, which means he has a 50 percent chance of playing against Buffalo.
Also Wednesday, the Seahawks announced they have signed wide receiver Robert Wilson to their regular roster, waived linebacker Scott Fields from their practice squad and signed defensive back Marcus Washington to their practice squad.
