You got to really work those steps.
Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona just published a book, Conscience of a Conservative, telling his fellow Republicans that they've gone very, very wrong by throwing in with Donald Trump. An extensive round-up of quotes from his book includes "rank demagoguery" and "I feel compelled to declare: This is not who we are" and "if we lose our sense of objective truth, we lose everything." (Nice attribution for that last one: "Flake cautions.") I think he recognizes how dangerous Trump is, and how shoddily the GOP has behaved in the face of his menace. He sort of recognizes—recognizes in a fire-fly way, flickering in and out—that there's another fact too, a bigger and more ugly fact, a fact that's big brother to the giant lump known as the Trump Age.
"Any honest accounting of how we got to this new day has to reckon with Newt, whose talent for politics exceeded his interest in governing," Flake says. He means Newt Gingrich, and I think he's being demure. Gingrich gave GOP congressional candidates a list of words they should use when campaigning: "pathetic," "destroy," "lie," "threaten," "cheat," "steal," "decay," and "sick," among others. The candidates should just work the words in, however they could. Context didn't matter. Just hype people into thinking the apocalypse was here, then watch them break your way.
This dishonesty and nastiness, rather than Newt's flamboyance, are the key faults I'd lay to the modern Republican Party. The Trump era grows out of these faults, and out of a basic irresponsibility that enfolds them both. Let's embarrass Flake with some historical footnotes. Flake on the Trump-era GOP: "We lurched like a tranquilized elephant from a broad consensus on economic philosophy and free trade that had held for generations to an incoherent and often untrue mash of back-of-the-envelope populist slogans." Sir, the Laffer curve was written across a napkin. Flake waves a quote from Saint Barry Goldwater: "We cannot allow the emblem of irresponsibility to attach to the conservative banner." Goldwater also said, "Moderation in the protection of liberty is no virtue; extremism in the defense of freedom is no vice." He said it would be kind of neat to lose the East Coast, and that we should "lob one into the men's room at the Kremlin." By "one" he meant a nuclear device.
Nor does the article's affectionate commentary give Flake much help. "The picture he paints vividly is of a GOP base gripped by grievance and animated more by what they are against than what they are for," we're told. Well, that GOP base sounds like the Nixon White House. In fact it sounds like Joe McCarthy and his very numerous Republican friends.
Good luck, Jeff Flake. You're like a drunk in a bar who's decided that the problem isn't drinking but just the drink he's having right now, and maybe that last one right before. You're feeling something, but moral clarity ain't it. That'll have to wait.

Historically, health and safety has been considered a male-dominated industry. However, great strides have been made in that area, and more women than ever before are entering the field. Women who work in traditionally male industries, such as construction, heavy machinery operation, and manufacturing are increasing the demand for female-specific health and safety innovations.
In celebration of International Women's Day in March, OSG wanted to explore how health and safety has changed from a woman's perspective. But research indicates that the industry has been slow to keep up with the health and safety needs of women. The lack of response is due to a combination of factors that include a shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) innovation, absent female mentors, and slow changes to workplace violence and harassment legislation.
It's obvious that PPE has many benefits to safety. Gloves, aprons, protective glasses, and hard hats have been proven time and time again to protect workers from hazards and the risk of serious injury. PPE hasn't changed much over the years, and there have been no real groundbreaking advancements or changes – especially for women.
The trouble with PPE is that it is often designed with men in mind. Females struggle to use oversized equipment safely. The poor fit poses safety hazards to women, as the PPE needs to fit appropriately in order to be effective. Women who feel endangered by ill-fitting PPE or that the PPE is uncomfortable, may not wear it, which puts them at an even greater risk of injury, illness, or death.
This is an especially poignant problem for women in construction who need to wear fall protection harnesses in order to complete work at heights safely. Working at heights equipment is very effective at protecting workers from falls. Most systems require an engineer's input and approval, especially for determining and installing anchor points. In recent years, there's been a large government push toward making sure that all workers who work at heights receive approved training that meets stringent standards. All of this constitutes great advancement aimed at reducing the risk to workers who work at heights. But, what about women who work at heights?
Fall protection harnesses were not designed with female workers in mind. Thankfully, most harnesses come in a variety of sizes, so that women can purchase one that fits them best. While there hasn't been a ton of advancement for women who have to wear harnesses, Honeywell Miller (a major manufacturer of fall protection equipment) has introduced the MS Honeywell-Miller line, designed for and aimed at women. The MS Honeywell Miller H-style harness is designed to keep shoulder straps to the side and away from the chest. This style will help to reduce breast discomfort when wearing a harness, provided it is worn correctly.
While harnesses are very effective, there has been little change or advancement to the technology and design, especially changes that would make them more effective for female wearers. Of course, if a female cannot be fitted with correct fall protection equipment, she cannot work from heights. This restriction may unintentionally create barriers to work that she would otherwise be able to perform.
The future is not grim for women (or anybody!) seeking innovative and better PPE solutions. One very exciting innovation that is being explored is safety helmets. These are meant to replace hard hats on construction sites. They offer better fit, better side protection, and won't tumble off in the event of a fall. The chinstrap that holds the helmet on is a key part of why this innovation is so exciting.
Another unique safety equipment solution comes in the form of Covergalls. In response to finding that coveralls worn during mining operations were ill-fitted for women, inventor Alicia Woods set about designing her own. Her tailored cuts and adjustable features ensure that the coveralls fit women of all sizes and shapes. This reduces the risk of snags and trips. Also included are secured pockets, so that personal items don't fall out when pulling Covergalls off and on, two-way zippers for ease-of-use in small spaces, and adjustable wrist and ankle openings, and waistbands. Covergalls also features a rear opening to make using the bathroom easier for females who otherwise would have to remove the whole coverall each time. In fact, the features of Covergalls are so well liked by all coverall wearers, that men have started asking for their coveralls to have the same features, prompting Woods to start a subsidiary of Covergalls called Coverguys.
While helmets do not constitute a real change for women, Covergalls and the continuing innovation in women's PPE points to forward thinking. As more women enter the construction industry, one can expect to see new and exciting solutions tailored to them.
Females looking to break into the health and safety field are seeking mentors. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, which include slow-to-change attitudes toward women in health and safety, the mentorship just isn't there. Without mentors, women may be intimidated when attempting to get established in the field.
An article published by the National Safety Health Council asked women in health and safety to describe their struggles. Adele Abrams cited lack of mentorship as a huge deterrent to women entering health and safety. All five of the women interviewed discussed the negative and unchanged attitude toward women in health and safety and the construction sectors. The women highlighted the difficulty of being taken seriously, listened to, and respected. Having more female mentors available to help women navigate these challenges is an excellent solution. With the increase of women in health and safety comes the increase of available mentors looking to help more and more women break barriers and destroy outdated attitudinal mindsets.
Many positive evolutions to workplace violence and harassment laws in Ontario have made reporting harassment easier and made harassment completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, harassment is still a reality in many workplaces, with increasing prevalence in traditionally male-dominated sectors. According to Jennifer Tabor, who was also part of the National Safety Health Council's article, harassment is still happening – it's just quieter.
Movements such as #metoo and Time's Up have increased the rate at which workplace harassment is being exposed and reported in the workplace. While Ontario's workplace violence and harassment laws are working, it's unclear whether they are evolving fast enough to keep pace with the reports coming about in the wake of #metoo and Time's Up. If those movements tell us anything, it is that there is still much work to be done to protect women from workplace violence and harassment.
It's clear that health and safety needs to evolve to make it more accessible to women. But how?
Health and safety exposure needs to start young. There's a push for health and safety to be introduced in schools earlier and in more detail. This is an excellent initiative for all students, but the early exposure to health and safety has the power to encourage more women to pursue careers in health and safety.
For those females thinking about the trades, early exposure to health and safety education that espouses that there are protections and options available for women may make it more likely that they enter those fields.
Having mentors available will only further increase the willingness of students to take an active interest in health and safety. Lastly, women thinking about health and safety or trades positions need to know that they are safe zones, free from the threat of discrimination, violence, and harassment.
The future for women in health and safety looks to be a bright one. Their inclusion only serves to bring more innovation, ideas, and outlooks to the table. Implementing innovations and solutions as unique as they are will allow women to become increasingly visible in the health and safety and trades fields. It is a time of exciting change and technological advancement – the only limit to how far women can go is their imaginations!

Policy and Procedures Regarding Persons with Disabilities
VERMONT JUDICIARY PUBLIC NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND POLICY
The mission of the Vermont Judiciary is to provide equal access to justice, protect individual rights, resolve legal disputes fairly and timely, and provide everyone the opportunity to have their day in court. The Vermont Judiciary advises its employees, volunteers, and members of the public that it does not discriminate on the basis of a person's disability in employment or in access to its programs, services, and activities. It is the policy of the Vermont Judiciary to maintain an environment free of discrimination against persons with disabilities. All court users, including employees of the Vermont Judiciary, are required to comply with this policy.
II. REQUESTS FOR REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
a. Types of Available Accommodations
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law prohibiting discrimination against qualified persons with disabilities. The Vermont Judiciary is committed to fully complying with the ADA by providing services, programs and activities in a way that assures equal and full access for all court users. Vermont's courts will, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services in order to facilitate effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in the Judiciary's programs, services, and activities. The types of aids and services available may include qualified interpreters, Computer Aided Real-Time Transcription (CART) services, video interpreting services, assistive listening headsets, audio recordings, large print, or electronic formats. The Judiciary will also make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to make the Judiciary's programs, services, or activities accessible to a person with a disability. For example, individuals may enter court premises with service animals even where pets are generally prohibited, so long as the animal does not create a legitimate safety risk or fundamentally alter the nature of the Judiciary's programs, services, or activities. Aids, services, and other accommodations are provided by the Judiciary at no cost to court users.
The ADA does not require the Vermont Judiciary to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its services, programs, or activities, or would result in an undue financial or administrative burden. The ADA also does not require the court to provide services of a personal nature, such as medical or attendant care. Court personnel are not permitted to provide legal advice as an ADA accommodation. The ADA also does not require the Vermont Judiciary to attempt to change existing Vermont law or change a prior ruling of a Vermont court.
b. Accommodation Requests
Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies, practices, or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of the Judiciary, may fill out a Request for Reasonable Accommodation form. The form is available on the Vermont Judiciary's website. Completed forms should be returned to the main window in your local courthouse or to any Judiciary employee. You should submit your Request form or contact the ADA Coordinator as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours prior to the need for the accommodation.
c. Vermont Judiciary's ADA Coordinator
The Vermont Judiciary has designated an ADA Coordinator to coordinate its efforts to comply with the requirements of the ADA and other federal and state laws protecting the rights of people with disabilities. Inquiries, requests, and complaints that a program, service, or activity of a particular court is not accessible to persons with disabilities should be directed to the ADA Coordinator:
John McGlynn, Human Resources Manager
(802) 828-4776 or john.mcglynn@vermont.gov
III. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE UNDER THE ADA
This grievance procedure is established to provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints by members of the public alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It may be used by any member of the public claiming discrimination on the basis of disability in the provision of services, programs, or activities of the Vermont Judiciary.
Complaints by members of the public alleging discrimination on the basis of disability should be submitted by the complainant and/or his or her designee as soon as possible but not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of the alleged discrimination. Complaints should be submitted on the Complaint & Appeal Form, which is available on the Judiciary website. Alternative means of filing a complaint, such as by personal interview, will be made available for persons with disabilities requiring the use of such alternate means upon request.
Upon receiving the complaint, the ADA Coordinator or his or her designee shall coordinate with the appropriate court personnel to promptly investigate the complaint by interviewing, where necessary and as appropriate, the relevant court staff and/or the complainant. Within 30 calendar days of receipt of the complaint, the ADA coordinator or his or her designee will respond in writing and, where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant. The response shall explain the position of the Judiciary and offer options, if any, for resolution of the complaint.
If the response by the ADA Coordinator or the ADA Coordinator's designee does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the complainant and/or the complainant's designee may appeal the decision to the Chief of Trial Court Operations within 15 calendar days after receipt response. Any appeal must be in writing. Alternative means of filing an appeal, such as personal interviews or a tape recording of the appeal, will be made available for persons with disabilities requiring use of such alternate means upon request. Within 21 calendar days after receipt of the appeal, the Chief, Trial Court Operations (C-TCO) or his or her designee may contact the complainant to discuss the complaint and possible resolutions, if the C-TCO or designee determines such a meeting would be helpful to the determination of the appeal.
Within 21 calendar days after the meeting, or within 30 days after receipt of the appeal if there is no meeting, the C-TCO or the designee will respond in writing and, where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, with a final resolution of the appeal. The decision of the C-TCO, or his or her designee, shall be final and conclusive for purposes of this grievance procedure.
The ADA Coordinator shall maintain all records related to a complaint under this policy for at least three years.
All actions taken to investigate and resolve complaints through this procedure shall be conducted with as much confidentiality as possible without compromising the thoroughness of the investigation. This grievance procedure is designed to encourage reporting of incidents of alleged discrimination against persons with disabilities.
IV. NOT EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
The use of this procedure does not preclude persons who believe they have experienced unlawful discrimination from pursuing any other legal remedy.

John Curtis Goad Announces Single "Regina" from New Album
published by BMNN on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 23:31
The release of the first single from John Curtis Goad's upcoming debut solo album has been announced. "Regina" tells a classic bluegrass story - a man, wrongly accused of a crime, waits for the one he loves. Of course, as with all good bluegrass songs, there's just a little bit more to the story than first appears. "Regina" was originally recorded by Lester Flatt & the Nashville Grass in the 1970s, but John has given the song a smooth, modern traditional update.

Q: prove closure $\overline{f(V)}$ is a neiborhood of origin in Topological vector space Let X,Y be topological vector space,Y is Baire space,let $f$ be a continuous linear map $f:X\to Y$,assume $f(X)$ has non empty interior.
Prove given any neiborhood $V$ of origin for $X$, $\overline{f(V)}$ is neiborhood of origin for $Y$
(I think my proof is almost done,but not very clear)
My attempt,first since $f(X)$ has non empty interior the map is onto,now the question is how to use the fact that $Y$ is Baire space?I know we need to construct something like $\bigcup U_n$ which each of them is closed and no interior.But I don't know how to construct this sequence $U_n$ (It may be an ascending sequence?)
each of them seems be the set $\overline{f(V)}$ which is closed,and assume no interior contains in them,then if countable union to covers $Y$.it must has empty interior,hence contradiction?
To construct the countable union,note that any $V$ exist balanced absorbing neiborhood $A$ contains in it if we can show for this $A$ we have $\overline{f(A)}$ is neiborhood of origin,then it will also holds for $\overline{f(V)}$ Since absorbing we know for this $A$ ,$\bigcup_n nA$ covers $X$ hence $f(\bigcup_n nA) = Y $
To complete the proof,we need to show to fact:

*

*if $\overline{f(A)}$ contains no interior then $n\overline{f(A)}$ also contains no interior,since they are homeomorphic.

*if zero is not interior for $\overline{f(A)}$ then all point can not be interior for it.

A: You are right that since $f(X)$ (which is a linear subspace of $Y$) has no empty interior then $f(X)=Y$: indeed, let $y_0\in f(X)$ so that there exists an open neighborhood $V\subset f(X)$. If $y\in Y$ then we can take the points $y_0+\lambda y$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$. As $\lambda\to0$ we have that $y_0+\lambda y\to y_0$, so there exists some non-zero $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ so that $y_0+\lambda y\in V$. But then $y_0+\lambda y\in f(X)$, so $y\in f(X)$.
We give a definition: If $Z$ is a vector space and $E\subset Z$ we say that $E$ is absorbent when $Z=\bigcup_{r>0}rE$. We say that $E$ is balanced when for any $x\in E$ and $\alpha\in\overline{\mathbb{D}}$ we have that $\alpha x\in E$.
Note that if $Z$ is a TVS and $E$ is balanced then $\text{int}(E)$ is also balanced: indeed, if $x\in\text{int}(E)$ then there exists an open $V\subset E$ so that $x\in V$. If $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}$ with $|\alpha|\leq1$, we have that $\alpha\cdot x\in\alpha\cdot V\subset E$ and $\alpha\cdot V$ is open, thus $\alpha\cdot x\in\text{int}(E)$.

Lemma: Let $Z$ be a Baire TVS. If $E\subset Z$ is absorbent, then $E$ is a Baire space with the subspace topology.

Proof of the lemma: Let $(F_n)$ be a sequence of closed sets such that $E\subset\bigcup_nF_n$. For $k\in\mathbb{N}$ we have that $kE\subset\bigcup_nkF_n$, therefore since $Z=\bigcup_kkE$ (because $E$ is absorbent) we have that $Z=\bigcup_{n,k}kF_n$. Since $Z$ is a Baire space, there exists a pair of integers $k,n$ so that $\text{int}(kF_n)\neq\emptyset$. But $kF_n$ is homeomorphic to $F_n$, so $\text{int}(F_n)\neq\emptyset$. This shows that $E$ is a Baire space.

Claim: Let $X$ be a TVS and let $V$ be a neighborhood of $0$ in $X$. Then $V$ contains a balanced neighborhood of $0$.

Proof of the claim: Indeed, since scalar multiplication is a continuous operation $m:\mathbb{C}\times X\to X$ we have that $m^{-1}(V)$ is open in $\mathbb{C}\times X$ and contains $(0,0)$ so there exists $r>0$ and a neighborhood $W\subset X$ of $0$ such that $D(0,r)\times W\subset m^{-1}(V)$, so $m(D(0,r)\times W)\subset V$. But $m(D(0,r)\times W)=\{\alpha\cdot x: |\alpha|<r, x\in W\}$ is open, contains $0$ and if $\beta\in\mathbb{C}$ satisfies $|\beta|\leq1$ then for any $\alpha\in D(0,r)$ and $x\in W$ we have that $\beta\cdot(\alpha\cdot x\in m(D(0,r)\times W)$, since $|\alpha\beta|\leq r$.
So let $V$ be a neighborhood of $0$ in $X$ and take $U$ a balanced neighborhood of $0$ so that $U\subset V$. Now let $y\in Y$. As we said, $f$ is onto, so $y=f(x)$ for some $x\in X$. Since $\lambda x\to0$ as $|\lambda|\to0$, we have that there exists some $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ so that $\lambda x\in U$. So $y=\frac{1}{\lambda}f(\lambda x)\in\frac{1}{\lambda}f(U)\subset\frac{1}{\lambda}\overline{f(U)}$ and therefore $\overline{f(U)}$ is absorbent in $Y$ and it is also balanced, since $U$ is balanced. By the lemma we have that $\overline{f(U)}$ is a Baire space, so $\text{int}(\overline{f(U)})\neq\emptyset$. But since $\overline{f(U)}$ is balanced, its interior is also balanced, thus $0\in\text{int}(\overline{f(U)})\subset\text{int}(\overline{f(V)})$ which is what we wanted to show.

If you think back to the early days of Spiritualism, when communcation started in home circles, I often wonder did Spiritualism ever meant to be a religion, because there is a difference between spirituality and Spiritualism. Was Spiritualism just meant to be ''a spiritual way of life'' without the dogma.
I have always been interested in Spiritualism as a phenomena, science and ''a spiritual way of life'' without it's religious concept, Was Spiritualism ever meant to be a Religion?, I often think about this, and wonder.
I've getting a lot of similar thoughts.
No, 'Spiritualism' as it's now known, was the breaking through of the desire to communicate by those who had 'died' to bring hope and comfort to their grieving loved ones.
The reasons are many, no doubt, but sufficient numbers of Souls finally achieved this, although individuals here who had attained the suitable levels could always receive communication. Some would be more aware than others.
As to religion, well that is how some kind of Minds think and does no harm. But communication depends on the necessary conditions - no more, no less. Religious trappings are unnecessary, but it may have been fear of Dark Spirits that encouraged it.
The choice of a 'way' of Life is entirely within the gift of the individual exercising their free will, with Cause & Effect coming into matters - whether within a 'religious' setting or not. The Law of Attraction deterrmines so much.
hiorta wrote: I've getting a lot of similar thoughts.
I agree with everything you said. I think Spiritualism needs to get rid of the religious setting and have it more as a spiritual way of life. There is no religion in the Spirit world. Spiritualism should be more about Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, which are all attributes of the Spirit, being higher than any religion. Or as Silver Birch once said Compassion is one of the attributes of the spirit. I've said it is so many times. Love, affection, friendship, compassion, mercy, tolerance, kindness, service, are the attributes of the sprit. When you express them you are manifesting yourself spiritually.
We know what's needed but seem to have to achieve 'Spiritual critical mass' perhaps to attract the help of Greater Souls in our endeavour.
There is still rampant greed, war and selfishness, with utter indifference to suffering of others and other Life forms. Material powers are valued, while Spiritual realities go unrecognised.
Religion has retreated to doctrinal strongholds, fearfully watching the tides of materialism carrying away their hopes of revival.
However, change appears to be gathering pace. The old set-in-stone-values are rapidly imploding. New Minds will apply themselves to old problems, hopefully with greater insight and success.
Blue Lotus I have similar thoughts we should always be more of a philosophy which needs to be brought back to life and regenerated. Yes by the dictionary definition of believing in something which we cannot actually prove God we are a religion but please keep it with a small letter r not a capital one. All a capital does is add theology.

I suppose I believe that we were always involved in a philosophy of life rather than religion but there are essential elemnets of Spiritualism which became immediately involved once the Fox Sisters made contact. I tend to think that the phenomenaand Mediumship do not stand alone but as part of something much more complete. As Stainton Moses received from Imperator Spiritualism is not a new revelation but an attempt to restore what shoyuld have been before theologians took Christianity away from the simple truths.
Of course what I see with teh SNu with Ministers becoming more imporatant and wearing robes is a return to an organised theologically based central "Religion" which like Hiorta I reject.
I suspect spiritualism became a religion for legal reasons. Churches have special legal privileges such as tax exemptions. Also people coming together in groups often need to have legal status to rent property, gain insurance, and the like.
It is just the way western society organises things.
To be honest, I would love to belong to a small group with similar beliefs who come together for spiritual purposes, including mediumship and meditation - on a regular basis - without all the power and trappings which come with Churches.

Why not start your own group with people of like minds?
I see no need of a connection between mediumistic phenomena and any form of organised religion. IMHO it is a racket.
Obi the religion of Spiritualism was part of the start of Mediumship and interweaved with it. I have an opposite view about that especially with the appearance of atheist Mediums.
I have thought about it. The time hasn't seemed right and I don't know enough people ...... but I think it will happen. Have had some personal issues to sort out as well. My development teacher used to do this 20 or so years ago. I need to do something as the development class is a bit like a social group! It's supposed to be that way for the vibrations but doesn't feel quite right to me. Maybe I am too naturally reserved.
Admin wrote: Obi the religion of Spiritualism was part of the start of Mediumship and interweaved with it. I have an opposite view about that especially with the appearance of atheist Mediums.
Spiritualism is clearly a religion. I don't think the phenomena that underpin Spiritualism are any more connected to it necessarily than the weather is connected to Zeus, Thor or Jehovah. I think we are agreed that the phenomena demonstrated by mediums has been in evidence for centuries, possibly millennia, and has been adopted by religions of various hues. It is not peculiar to modern Spiritualism.
If, as Spiritualists would have us believe, such phenomena are natural then it makes no more sense to me to give such phenomena a religious dimension that it does to have a church devoted to Meteorology, the Telephone, or Radio. Even given that communications from 'beyond' show wisdom and are intended to help, doesn't lead me to see how there is a need for religion, ceremony, orders of ministers, a bureaucracy. If there is a need to disseminate wisdom and educate, why not do this through some form of secular agency? Why does it have to be through churches and entail other religious paraphernalia? With the murky history of world religions I would have thought it far better to dissociate oneself, than to seek to emulate such organisations. It looks to me like a rather desperate attempt to acquire some form of apparent respectability, or to hang on to a comfort blanket of old religious beliefs, almost a superstition - that surely does not make it right?
As for atheism - I cannot see why a person cannot accept continuity of life without the need to accept the existence of a deity (depending on one's definition of course). Silver Birch it seems to me, although referring to the "Great Spirit", doesn't say, at least as far as I recall, that this Great Spirit is a being as such, or is even personal in the sense of being an individual. If I were to accept this premise, I would be an atheist in many folk's eyes.
Obiwan, I know you were responding to Jim but you make some interesting comments and I'd like to respond as well.
Annie Besant in her book Esoteric Christianity describes Christianity as the great religion for the West and possibly a motive for establishing spiritualism as a religion is that people thought that kind of structure would reach more people and that the status of religion gave it some legal independence and protection. People being as they are and western culture being as it is the structure of religion has now become pre-eminent. My own development teacher operates completely outside the local church which has been riddled with conflict and narrow mindedness. Many mediums used to operate within the church structures because it was the only they could really practise their craft.
This same teacher used to participate in home circles, also, I believe. I think there are some who still do that. However, there are many good people who want to participate in the communities which the spiritualist churches provide. If it was not for organised British spiritualism I would not have had access to some of the literature which means so much to me now.
Silver Birch actually speaks quite clearly about the disadvantages of 'theology'. I was reading this just yesterday morning. He seems to imply that the work of Spirit will continue, no matter what, and that those who want so much for us to reach our divine potential will find ways to guide us. Ramadahn does the same but in different words, as does Chan. In the mean time, to love in the divine sense and to give service to brothers and sisters in spirit seems to be the most important thing in life. If we really want, we will be guided to communities or means to service that will be best for us, I believe.
I have no axe to grind - other than the fact that I find organised religion repellent personally.
I don't know when Spiritualism was officially recognised as a religion, however from the mid-1800s onward there have been many denominations identifying as Christian for a wide variety of reasons I suspect.
I don't see anything of a spiritual nature in the teachings of Spiritualism that hasn't been mentioned in many other religions. Its teachings seem to me largely derivative (of course that doesn't mean they are incorrect). If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one possible motive for the establishment of Spiritualism as a religion might have been to use religion as a vehicle for the phenomena and teachings of spiritualism however that seems to support my idea that it was done to acquire a reputation or respect that it did feel it commanded in its own right.
I don't see why a medium would find it necessary to operate inside a church structure other than for fellowship (which can be effected by other means). Perhaps the reason is obvious but it escapes me. I can see the benefits of having some form of organisation to support mediums, but not the benefits in its being specifically religious.
As far as Spiritualism giving access to information which might have eluded you if it did not exist; I am not sure what you are referring to but I don't see how the works of the SPR, Oliver Lodge, William Crookes etc and the dissemination of their work owe much to Spiritualism as a religion (other than that some mediums profess to be spiritualists). I recall reading that Silver Birch did not want to be called a Spiritualist (or anything else for that matter). Certainly modern research doesn't owe anything to Spiritualism as a religion as far as I can see.
I guess the observation I would make is that perhaps if those who practice mediumship had presented their abilities outside the framework of an organised religion, they may have been even more successful. Who can say?
Your comments on Silver Birch's views on Theology reflect my own readings of his reported sayings.
The observations you make regarding service and love for others is, I think, quite correct.
My objection is that communication through mediums is tainted by its association with organised religion, and particularly Christianity, which has done so much to oppose the distribution of information about survival over the centuries and has persecuted so many who did not conform (and continues so to do in many of its flavours around the World still).
I am not saying that there is anything wrong with practicing some form of religion which incorporates mediumship. It is a personal choice. I am simply saying that I cannot see the necessary connection between mediumship, proof of survival and trappings of religion which is how the SNU churches I have visited come across to me.
In fact my own experience of Spiritualist churches is that there is nothing to offer but spiritual teachings and fellowship that are available in one form or another in all organised religions and have been for millennia. There is of course nothing wrong with that, but there is already plenty of it available everywhere. In today's increasingly secular western societies, looking like a desiccated 19th century protestant church can't be an advantage surely?
I agree that there is little new in the philosophy of spiritualism. The only thing that makes spiritualism any different from other lovely philosophies is the commitment to evidential mediumship. The rigour that has existed around 'evidential' stands out. I belong to some internet forums where this rigour doesn't exist and I think that opens the door to charlatanism and celebrity mediumship which always needs to be taken circumspectly (in my opinion).
The mediums I know who use the spiritualist churches as a platform do so from a desire for love and service The churches have provided a medium for their practice which would not have been so available otherwise. I am so glad one of them did choose that option because she was there when I really needed to experience evidential mediumship. To be honest, I was never very interested in the Church itself. It seemed quite mediocre in everything else, but especially in the way it treated people. It had an excellent library, however .
I am not advocating for Churches (being a Catholic who rejected the Church as a teenager). Perhaps I was simply explaining my understanding of why the spiritualist churches came into being. I would love to see something else emerge, and feel that I may have to look for some other path as stated in an earlier post.
I am sure that many mediums demonstrate based on a desire to serve and in a spirit of love. Unfortunately, as I am sure you would agree, that has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of evidence produced. As for assessing their motives - I must confess that I try to avoid doing that as it is difficult enough to assess my own at times.
I understand your position and that you are not advocating churches per se and I think the points you made are interesting.
Even though spirit communications received over the years often contradict each other (ie reincarnation and conditions in other worlds/planes) one of the things they say that's consistant is we all continue to evolve and learn throughout eternity whether in the physical universe, astral world, spirit world, parallel universe or anywhere else we happen to find ourselves on this journey of life.
Spiritualism as a religion has it's seven principles which implies to me that these are the absolute truths and there's no tweeking or changing 'em as we evolve and learn new things, instead we remain stagnant.
The Principles have become something of a sacred cow in SNU circles.
There are other sets of them and the point of all of them is to try to assist the newcomer in evaluating a philosophy that might be very different from earlier teachings.
Personal interpretation of Principles is necessary and the understanding taken will change - and hopefully deepen - as experience comes.
Principles are not 'written in stone' of course and anything that helps to increase the depth of appreciation of the great Truth that Life, truly, is immortal, for the individual, must be welcome.
There is nothing absolutely new in the 7 Principles, either. Like the 12 Steps of AA, they were developed by the founders and people hold them dear partly because they hold those traditions dear. I don't have a problem with that and respect that some feel they do hold fundamental truths as well as capturing the spirit of the organisation at the special time of its creation. I should add that the 12 Steps of AA outline a specific program of recovery and should not be altered too much because they have proven to be effective. I don't think the 7 Principles of Spiritualism ar quite the same.
I agree that 'quality' can be very subjective. I have had quite explicit conversations with a spirit through a medium which have been so factual and unique as to be a source of great happiness. At the same time I've had simple names and words given that I had no doubt were meant for me. I've also had messages that were perhaps not so concrete as to pass my teacher's rigorous tests but which had such deep emotional resonance that I took them to be especially for me.
Spirit works in ways we don't understand, it seems.

Creative Minority Reader: TWS on Randall Terry and "Dead Babies"
Few people create more arguments among pro-lifers than Randall Terry. The mere mention of his name creates division among pro-lifers. Here's a marathon length piece from The Weekly Standard. I'm honestly just about halfway through it but I'm posting it because it's pretty interesting.
Of all the divergent byways the Road to the White House provides, there are none so curious as the detour that has me pushing out to the eastern panhandle of West Virginia to spend a week with Randall Terry, his family, and his hive of pro-life activists.

Sticky Post By administrator Posted in Mental Health Permalink

Is your child going through normal adolescent ups and downs? Angelina Chisari shares some of the lessons she's learnt and signs to look out for.
More than half the callers to Kids Helpline are 13 to 18 years old and about one in five callers are worried about mental health – their own, or a person close to them.
"Most of the time they are seeking support and strategies to manage an already diagnosed or established mental health condition, but we also get contacts from children who aren't diagnosed and who are concerned about initial symptoms or some quite serious symptoms," says Angelina Chisari.
Most mental-health concerns involve depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide.
"At night, they can be left with their thoughts and have difficulties sleeping, and they call us because they can't see their usual psychologist or counsellor then. They also call for crisis support if they have urges around suicide and self-harm – we build a safety net for young people," says Ms Chisari.
She says it can be hard for parents to work out whether their teenager's behaviour is normal, or whether it's something to be concerned about. And she adds that it's normal for parents to feel anxious and concerned about how to approach mental health concerns with their child.
"We know teenagers tend to be a little more emotional than at other times in life. They are going through a lot of changes developmentally, socially, academically, physically and emotionally.
"The teenage brain is still developing, and this can leave young people feeling really tired, emotional and exhausted. Emotions like anger, sadness, stress and anxiety can be normal, but if
those emotions are excessive, consistent and prolonged over weeks to months, that needs to be explored further," Ms Chisari says.
"We know teenagers tend to be a little more emotional than at other times in life."
What is normal and what are the signs that a child may be struggling emotionally?
"Is your child retreating from family, friends or everyday activities? Or have you noticed other changes in their behaviour? Is your child avoiding school? Have they become more irritable or aggressive? Are they using drugs or alcohol? Usuallteenagers don't want to spend as much time with their parents and their focus shifts to their friends. If you see a change in how much time your child is spending with their friends, that can be a sign that something is going on," says Ms Chisari.
If your child shows persistent signs of hopelessness or pessimism, don't minimise those feelings by trying to normalise them. "When you minimise their feelings, your child is less likely to talk to you again about those issues," says Ms Chisari. "If the issue worsens and those feelings escalate from depression to self-harm. They're not going to come back to you for help."
Is your child showing increased sensitivity and heightened reactions to challenges, failure or rejection? Are they more self-critical than usual? Do they talk about feeling guilty or worthless? Your first reaction as a parent is important. "Be supportive and don't try to convey that everything is in their head, that it's normal teenage hormones and it will all get better," says Ms Chisari. "Ask your child what is going on, how they are feeling, acknowledge and validate their feelings and involve them in options for support. Ask them if they want to speak to a counsellor or a doctor or to call an anonymous service like Kids Helpline so what they're experiencing can be looked at further."
Experts usually agree that if a condition is affecting a child's ability to function day to day, or their ability to enjoy life, they may need professional help.
It's normal for parents to feel worried about how to talk to their kids about mental health. "As parents, we don't always know what to do or say. It's OK to feel this way and help is available," says Ms Chisari. Parentline is a confidential telephone counselling service for parents and carers offering information, referrals and assistance on a range of parenting issues.
Contact Parentline: 1300 30 1300
The Kids Helpline website has a dedicated section for parents that includes advice on how to start a conversation with a young person about their mental health. It also gives information on different forms of mental illness, signs, symptoms and support and treatment options.

South Sudan split over ministerial positions
CGTN 03 MAR 2020
The formation of the transitional government in South Sudan could be unduly delayed following disagreements over portfolio balance between President Salva Kiir and first Vice President Riek Machar.
Meetings in Juba on February 27 could not reach a compromise after Dr Machar's Sudanese People's Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) complained that President Kiir's side has not only taken all the key ministries, but has been offering ministries to other signatories without consultations.
President Kiir's side wants to retain the Finance, Petroleum, Defence and Interior, and Foreign Affairs dockets.
James Oryema, the SPLM-IO representative in Kenya said that his movement is going to hold on to their position and that the formation of the transitional government of national unity (TGoNU) could take some time if the other side remains intransigence.
We are demanding that four ministries be divided into two while claiming the Petroleum and Interior dockets then we can select the rest of the remaining seven ministries.
These were the ministries we had in 2016," said Mr Oryema.
According to the September 2018 agreement, the country is supposed to have 35 Cabinet ministers, with President Kiir's SPLM in government getting 20 ministries, SPLM-IO nine ministries; South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) three; and Former Detainees two and Other Political Parties one ministry each.
The agreement further states that the parties are required to choose ministries according to the percentages from the three clusters; Governance, economic and services, with President Kiir allowed to pick the first 20 ministries and five deputies, followed by Dr Machar who has nine slots, in that order
The transitional government will have one president, five vice presidents, 35 ministers, 10 deputy ministers, 550 MPs, 10 governors and three Area Administrators.

As contemporary art continues to embrace skate culture, the American artist Paul McCarthy has collaborated with the Brussels-based charity initiative, The Skateroom, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The set of eleven McCarthy-designed skateboard decks depict images from his PROPO series. Speaking about the series, McCarthy told the MoMA, "Between 1972 and 1983, I did a series of performances that involved masks, bottles, pans, uniforms, dolls, stuffed animals, etc. After the performances, these objects were either left behind or they were collected and stored in suitcases and trunks to be used in future performances. In 1983, the closed suitcases and trunks containing these performance objects were stacked on a table and exhibited as sculpture. In 1991, I opened the suitcases and trunks and photographed each item. The group of photographs in their entirety was titled PROPO."
According to Skateroom's website, the Belgian non-profit "invites contemporary artists to interpret skate culture by creating art on skateboards. The Skateroom produces, promotes and sells these limited edition skateboards…[to] support non-profit projects that empower children through skateboarding and art."
Each $30,000 set, limited to an edition of 35, comes packaged in a custom-made flight case which includes wheels, trucks, bolts and transparent grip-tape.
All proceeds from the collaboration will go towards the international NGO Skateistan, which is constructing a skateboarding and cultural center for underprivileged children in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Q: Show and hide HTML with angularJS value I want to show and hide a <button> element in my HTML when a directive value {{auth?.loggedIn}} from AngularJS is true or false.
My HTML:
<button (click)="onLogin()" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block">SSO Login</button>

Currently Logged In?  {{auth?.loggedIn}}

Logged in as:  {{currentUser?.profile?.email}}

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" onclick="window.location.href='/secondpage'">Go to second page</button>

The idea is when {{auth?.loggedIn}} is true, show the second button:

And when {{auth?.loggedIn}} is false, hide the second button:

A: Use *ngIf
<div *ngIf="auth?.loggedIn">

Currently Logged In?  {{auth?.loggedIn}}

Logged in as:  {{currentUser?.profile?.email}}

</div>

Should work for you.
See Angular Documentation: here

A: Thanks for the help! My solution was simple using the *ngIf="EXPRESSION":
<button (click)="onLogin()" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block">SSO Login</button>

Currently Logged In?  {{auth?.loggedIn}}

Logged in as:  {{currentUser?.profile?.email}}

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" *ngIf="auth.loggedIn" onclick="window.location.href='/secondpage'">Go to second page</button>

If you want to get the most out of your retirement, it's important you take some careful steps to ensure you're ready for the next big chapter in life.
