What Does the Universal Call to Holiness Look Like Today?
COMMENTARY: Christ's call has become domesticated and tame in order to make it conform to the modernity's cult of bourgeois well-being.
As Vatican II had pointed out, the call to holiness must be prudentially tailored to your state of life and your own unique circumstances. (photo: thanasus / Shutterstock)
Larry Chapp Commentaries October 14, 2022
The primary focus of my writing over the past few years has been the universal call to holiness put forward by Vatican II's dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, as the only sure answer to our current ecclesial problems.
Sanctity and the production of saints is one of the chief mandates of the Church and is a key component of Christ's great commission to make disciples of all nations. And it my further claim that the Church has domesticated this call to holiness and made it tame in order to make it conform to the modernity's cult of bourgeois well-being. After all, it was Christ himself who warned us that you cannot serve both God and Mammon and that where your treasure is there will your heart be also. And it was Christ himself who called the rich young man (ruler) to give all he had away and follow him. And it is instructive in regard to the entrapments of Mammon that this is the only instance in the Gospels where Christ specifically calls someone personally to follow him and is turned down.
But what does this mean then for laypeople today who are trying to pursue holiness and yet who must live in the world, as is the proper vocation of the layperson?
I remember once getting a text from a former student of mine who had just read an article I had written on Dorothy Day and her life of voluntary poverty which I had sent to him. He responded, simply, "Ugh. How can one be expected to live like that if you have five kids and a Golden Doodle?" I responded that he had missed the point and that the warnings against Mammon had more to do with what it does to the soul than with a general condemnation of possessions as such, especially those possessions we truly need in order to properly raise families.
As Vatican II had pointed out, the call to holiness must be prudentially tailored to your state of life and your own unique circumstances. It does not mean that we must now all put on sackcloth and ashes and go to live on a commune in some holiness compound in the woods.
Nevertheless, the call to holiness does mean that we must at the very least actually strive for holiness in a concrete way, take the call seriously, and seek to avoid all minimalist understandings of how we are to follow the Gospel. Because all too often what happens is we first begin with a false vision of holiness as some kind of Draconian, white-knuckled asceticism, whereupon we realize that this is not possible and so we "settle" into a kind of stale and compromised mediocrity as that which "normal" people do "in the real world." And the end result is that we really do not take the call to holiness seriously at all, and rather unconsciously adopt the way of life common to the culture at large.
One of the mistakes we make is that we tend to think that holiness has to do with something that is "extraordinary" and "beyond" the normal duties of life since those duties are "merely" a part of the very ordinary quotidian obligations that "everyone does anyway." And yet, for most of us the path to holiness resides precisely in such ordinary tasks. Think of the "Little Way" of St. Thérèse of Lisieux who, though in a cloistered carmel, did not equate her call to holiness with that aspect of her life as much as she saw her path to holiness as a faithfulness in charity to all of the small duties of the day. And that is a message that can directly translate into how laypeople in the world can pursue the hidden path of holiness by engaging in the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, even if those things are never really noticed by anyone. And of course, the path of marriage and family brings with it a thousand silent and unnoticed crucifixions where the desires of the self must be set aside in the interests of fulfilling one's state in life as a spouse and a parent. And therefore, we must begin with a resolute seriousness as a Church to start "naming" those crucifixions that most laypeople endure in order to emphasize that these are moments of holiness and not just the fulfilling of "ordinary obligations."
Allow me to indulge in an autobiographical narrative by way of example. I think of the example of my own parents. They had five children, the youngest of which — my beloved sister Frances — was born with a severe set of heart defects. She was weak and constantly ill and required my loving and holy mother to care for her constantly.
I still have seared into my soul the white-hot memory of my mother staying up all night with Frances holding her in her lap as Frances cried in pain as she vomited up blood and the medicines that had ripped her stomach apart. I remember my mother singing to her and rocking her as she, too, cried with the tears of parental empathy and who would have gladly exchanged places with her suffering little one in a Christ-like act of vicarious substitution. And then the next day, devoid of sleep, my mother had to attend to the needs of the rest of us and did so with devotion and the constancy born of love. And when Frances died at the age of 5 following unsuccessful surgery — a surgery after which she lingered in great agony and suffering for four days before passing, with my parents suffering greatly at her side — their grief was immense.
My father was a man's man. A Korean war Air Force veteran and a fireman. He was (and still is thankfully) a good man of salt of the earth virtues, filled with the kind of stoic masculinity so common among American men of the post-war era. I never once saw him cry. That is until Frances died. And then I witnessed my strong and self-composed father cry for the first time in my life. Great, heaving, sobs of grief poured out of him over my sister's casket and I witnessed my stoic father come apart in the following days, sullen, depressed, and with eyes constantly red, as our entire family mourned the loss of one we loved so very dearly. And in the midst of all that my parents had to soldier on and care for their other children with the needs of school and new clothes and daily meals and chores. And my father had to return to duty at the firehouse as if a few days passing-by could heal such a deep offense.
That, my friends, is holiness. But because we all too often have a false, clericalized vision of holiness we miss just how very holy it is to be something as "ordinary" as a mom and a dad. But all that being said, once we have identified what real holiness looks like for most laypeople, then we need to double-down as a Church and preach that message from the rafters if need be.
We need to tell stories like the one I just told in order to revalorize the heroic virtues required to be a parent in today's world. Because contemporary family life is in crisis, both ideologically in the current attack on the Christian concept of family as an oppressive structure that needs to be socially deconstructed, and practically in the cultural ubiquity of such things as rampant pornography of the most degraded sort as well as the general coarsening and vulgarization of our language and customs of social decorum.
Healthy families conducive to the path of holiness are a domestic Church and are the backbone of the broader Church. And they do not happen by accident. They require the rich soil of a proper ecclesial culture in order to grow and flourish as specifically Catholic families. They are, sadly, undermined by that very same Church when it gives a wink and nod to cohabitation, when it turns a blind eye to priests who bless same sex "unions" and hold "Pride Masses" complete with rainbow vestments and altar cloths, when it appears to greenlight the softening of the discipline of Eucharistic reception for those in what are now euphemistically called "irregular marriages" and when it seems not to care about beautiful liturgy and presents instead to today's families drab and boring liturgies that seem designed to drive children out of the faith since their entire ethos of insouciance toward the sacred screams out: "This does not really matter."
But it does matter and in order for families to flourish as the domestic engine of the call to holiness — and thus for the vision of Vatican II to be fulfilled — the Church must start paying attention to the real needs of that most marginalized and endangered periphery of all: Parents.

Adobe announces Lightroom 5.7 with new Aperture and iPhoto importer tool, Black Friday subscription pricing
By AppleInsider Staff
Tuesday, November 18, 2014, 11:21 pm PT (02:21 am ET)
Adobe late Tuesday released an update to its Lightroom image processing and management software that includes a new tool for importing photos from Apple's iPhoto or Aperture, both of which will be discontinued in favor of a unified OS X Photos app in 2015.
The latest Lightroom version 5.7 appears to bundle in an importer tool Adobe first offered last month as a plug-in designed to ease the transition for customers currently using Apple's pro and consumer level editing apps. Apple will introduce OS X Photos as a hybrid prosumer app for OS X Yosemite next year.
Along with the importer tool, Lightroom 5.7 adds the ability to view comments and feedback from shared collections on Lightroom web.
Adobe also announced Adobe Camera Raw 8.7, bringing enhancements to batch processing speed when working with the "Save" button and converting images to DNG using DNG Converter. In addition, ACR now supports HiDPI displays for Windows, an option available under the "Experimental Features" menu.
A total of 24 new cameras have been added to ACR's list of supported RAW file formats, including the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Nikon D750, and Sony ILCE-5100.
ACR 8.7 also fixes a few bugs discovered in the previous release, including an issue that caused the app to crash when rapidly applying the Spot Removal tool. Another bug squashed prevented the Filter Brush cursor from displaying in certain circumstances. Finally, Camera Matching color profiles have been fixed for the Nikon D810.
As always, Lightroom 5.7 is a free update for existing Lightroom 5 users, while Camera Raw 8.7 is free for Photoshop CC and Photoshop CS6 customers. New customers can download Lightroom as a 30-day free trial, or as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud subscriptions that start at $9.99 per month for the Creative Cloud Photography Plan, which comes with Photoshop, Lightroom mobile and more.
Adobe is also running a Black Friday promotion for Creative Cloud Complete, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, access to Adobe's cloud, the ProSite portfolio website, Typekit desktop and web fonts and 20 GB of cloud storage for $39.99 per month or $15.99 per month for students and teachers. The promotional period ends Nov. 28.

Published on November 19th 2018 – Together with colleagues from Maastricht University, ACHC-researcher Eline Smit developed and tested an e-learning program that aimed to improve practice nurses' sub-optimal adherence to evidence-based smoking cessation treatment guidelines. Idea was that improving practice nurses' adherence to these guidelines would benefit the quality of smoking cessation care and potentially lead to higher smoking abstinence rates. The researchers conclude that this program is effective, especially for practice nurses with more than average counseling experience. A Web-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in which an intervention group (N=147) with full access to the e-learning program for 6 months was compared with a control group (N=122) without access. In total, PNs counseled 1175 smokers during the trial period. With regard to each consultation with a smoker, PNs completed a counseling checklist to assess self-reported counseling activities. After 6 months, 121 PNs in the intervention group (82.3%, 121/147) and 103 in the control group (84.4%, 103/122) completed the follow-up questionnaire. Results showed a positive program effect on guideline adherence for PNs with a more than average level of counseling experience. This might be explained by experienced PNs being better able to translate the content of our e-learning program into practically applicable counseling strategies than their less experienced colleagues. To further substantiate the effectiveness of e-learning programs on guideline adherence by health care professionals (HCPs), it is important to assess how to support a wider range of HCPs.
The project this study was part of was funded by the Dutch Cancer Society.

Roselind Hejl works in Austin, one of the Top Markets For Real Estate Agents, according to an Inman Special Report.
Roselind Hejl isn't amped over the top 25 newest apps. The Coldwell Banker United Realtor takes a more refined approach.
Hejl, named one the Top 25 Realtors in Austin's upper-end market, seeks out technology that actually improves the service she provides. Hejl shared with InmanNext her perspective on which tools enhance a client's experience.
My biggest tech challenge today is the need to figure out the rapidly changing array of tools available to us. It's actually stressful to hear about 25 new apps that I can download to help me be more productive. I know successful agents who still use regular phones and keep clients in a rolodex. They stick with fundamentals like good service and staying in contact with past clients. I think my biggest tech challenge is figuring out which of the many options will actually improve the service that I provide to clients.
Yes, I do have LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter accounts, but just use them to distribute my blog posts. Clearly, this does not meet the social media mantra, which calls for comments, daily updates, vacation photos, etc. I admit that the social media part of my business needs work – beginning by adding more contacts outside my industry. My "friends" are mostly people in real estate, so social media seems a bit like a coffee room on steroids.
I have set up a business page on Facebook. Shouldn't there be a link to this on the other page? And, what is this "like" nonsense? But, in spite of some gripes, I believe that Facebook is an awesome networking tool. I plan to devote some effort to building a better network and improving content.
I use zipForms and Docusign. Both are standard practice now. However, I usually feel the need to meet with clients to review contracts before signing, so I don't use Docusign as often as I could.
My website is a central and vital part of my business. I made the site years ago to provide information for our clients. Later, as online real estate searches grew, I became interested in optimizing for Google. Writing articles was a way to develop incoming links – which improves ranking. My first article, "Negotiating the Real Estate Contract," is still out there. I have found that good content gives back, and keeps on giving.
My website comes up on the first page of Google for "austin texas real estate" and other search terms. It brings in real people who are moving to Austin, folks who want to sell, and agents who refer clients. It is a stable, consistent way to present our listings and show who we are.
In my business, good content is used to reach out to past clients and bring in new ones. Our website is all about what the client might need. It anticipates their needs and tries to fulfill. Our service begins here, and invites the client to call for more. We don't outsource content or updating.
Blog: My blog discusses remodeling, green building, and the Austin market.
How do you balance your time? Are there any tools you use to make juggling everything easier? What is the most important tech tool or app you use on a daily basis?
Outlook is my main communication tool, plus it serves as a filing and retention system. Excel maintains my email list. Dreamweaver is my web site development tool of choice. Photoshop is a must. I use Windows Live Writer to publish blogs and Animoto to make videos. I use YouTube, upgraded Realtor.com, ListHub, single property websites, and other tools for marketing.
Vblogging seems like a good new piece to add, but have not tried it. I'm afraid it would look terribly amateurish (but am open to coaching).
I have an iPhone. But, really, I hate the tiny keyboard, and rarely use it for email.
An iTablet is on my list to get. I like the size, and it can be used for reading books. I don't think it will change my business, but it will be fun to have.
Email newsletter: Once a quarter I send a market update to my list of about 700 contacts. Current and past clients respond well to this, and often reply with a question or need.

Reading Now Black Hammer launches #2BFrank to combat colonizer, white leftists
Black Hammer launches #2BFrank to combat colonizer, white leftists
By The Black Hammer Times Staff
On April 20, 2020, Gazi Kodzo, the Commander-In-Chief and one of the founders of the Black Hammer Organization (BHO), tweeted something truthful and crucial for the decolonial revolution.
The tweet broadcasted the untold massacre of millions of African and Colonized people who die on a daily basis at the hands of white power imperialism.
The series of tweets read, in part "[Middle finger emoji] Anne Frank! As a Black Child in america all through school I was taught to mourn a BECKY. I wasn't told about the COUNTLESS Black girls america GENOCIDED! Indigenous girls america GENOCIDED! Palenstinian girls that israel is killing through GENOCIDE right now!"
Anne Frank was a white victim of the Jewish Holocaust during the second imperialist war, commonly referred to as "world war II"—a war between white colonizers over who could dominate the lives, land and resources of African and Colonized people.
What makes Anne Frank's story so tragic while the lives of our young, Colonized girls taken at the hands of this imperialist beast, go unnoticed?
It's the whiteness and proximity to power that comes at the expense of the true victims of genocide, the African and Colonized.
Of course, it's not a coincidence that Hitler is the poster child of genocide and everything evil while Leopold isn't: the former massacred other colonizers while Leopold massacred African people.
It's not a coincidence that the Jews received reparations while our African siblings in the Congo still wear the scar of Leopold's brutal genocide.
Chief Gazi, in another tweet, states: "Genocide wasn't even a WORD until the WHITE ON WHITE CRIME of the Holocaust. In 1949! THOUSANDS of African and Colonized tribes WIPED OUT OF EXISTENCE! MILLIONS OF NAMELESS GIRLS KILLED due to EUROPEAN Colonialism for 500 years and NO WORD to define it UNTIL it happened to Anne!"
Straight like that. Raphael Lemkin is the colonizer who coined the term "genocide" and initiated the Genocide Convention in response to white people killing millions of other white people in Europe.
Lemkin referred to the Congolese as "an unorganized and disorderly rabble of savages whose only recompense was what they obtained from looting, and when they were cannibals, as was usually the case, in eating the foes against whom they were sent."
This Jewish colonizer had a deep admiration for colonialism in Africa and justified it! Yet any criticism from whites would deem this anti-Semitic.
The outrage of the white left
The white left (KKKomunists) and their sellout lackeys cried crocodile tears over Chief Gazi's tweets, calling him an anti-Semite or reactionary.
The BHO instantly became a target of racist leftists who have grown accustomed to going unchallenged… until now.
Ignoring the historical reality of the genocide of African and Colonized people on a daily basis, the focus of their attack was limited to Chief Gazi saying "F*ck Anne Frank."
Despite the white left having done nothing revolutionary for colonized poor and working class lives, they take the opportunity to claim that the BHO is a "backwards and counterrevolutionary org."
How dare a Colonized African say such an awful thing about one little white girl?
Most Colonized children had to learn about Anne BEFORE the mass murders of their own sisters and brothers.
Most Colonized children in the Global South barely learn (a brief brush through, at best) about Anne Frank and the Holocaust, yet struggle to fill their stomachs. What does Anne Frank represent to us—the colonized poor and working class, the TRUE proletariat?
The tears and opinions from the white whipping class came pouring in, attacking our Chief and the BHO.
Black Hammer United
Chief Gazi had called a meeting with the general membership of the organization around these attacks and laid out why it is important for us to speak unapologetically from our own viewpoint as the Colonized poor and working class.
Over 700 members of our organization—consisting of Colonized people from every nation—attended and unified that we are in a war-without-terms against our oppressor, and that the Chief's comments were purely justified.
The organization created a campaign against these racist white leftists using the hashtag #2BFrank, which is a play on words regarding Anne Frank and keeping it 100.
Our growing membership all changed their profile pictures to the Black Hammer logo, indicating above all else, "f*ck your feelings, our people are facing genocide to this day."
If you feel there are "other ways" to educate people of the genocide of African and Colonized people without "putting down" another, you are actively participating in tone policing and silencing Colonized voices. This is the very reason why the BHO started this movement.
Colonized people don't have the power to kill other groups of people en masse—unlike white jews in Israel—nor do we have a stake in oppressing anyone.
Our end goal is to take back our resources that give colonizers like Anne Frank, Raphael Lemkin and the white left a pedestal over us and unite the world under one socialist banner.
Currently, state-controlled media has blocked some of BHO's accounts. We knew this was bound to happen. That's how we know this movement is real.
Black Hammer continues to stand firm and uncompromising: we understand that this is our only path to victory.
F*ck Anne Frank!
#2BFrank!
International socialism in our lifetime!

these tweets are nothing but the truth. In times of U$ supported terrorist attacks on Cuba, Venezuela, Iran etc, these reactionaries decide to waste their time on tweets? Today, May 5, is the National Day for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Womyn. Don't see them rally around this? They are making REAL white leftists who know their place look bad but are even more shitting on the legacy of genuine, respected anti-imperialist pro-Black and Puerto Rican Liberation white leftists like Marilyn Buck, Richard Williams, Tom Manning, Dr. Alan Berkman , (all four of them have joined the Ancestors, Rest In Power) , David Gilbert, Laura Whitehorn.

Lightywood in Hamburg Harburg
Design by gmp chosen in competition
The Hamburg companies PRIMUS developments GmbH and Senectus Capital GmbH are currently involved in the development of the Lightywood project on two sites on the Schlossinsel at the Harburg inland port: an office building in timber hybrid construction is being created towards Lotsekai, offices with connected workshop and production facilities along Zitadellenstrasse for umlaut engineering GmbH (an engineering and consultancy company), a parking garage for the quarter, and other commercial premises at the Schlossinsel Park. In the architectural competition for the site at Zitadellenstrasse, the design by Architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners impressed the jury.
© gmp Architects
The room schedule for the office building with workshop facilities adds up to a total of about 8,000 square meters. In addition, the scheme includes 1,400 square meters of light industrial area and a parking garage with about 250 parking spaces. In line with the overarching urban design concept for the Harburg inland port, the design by gmp is inspired by the citadel structure of the former bastion island. The building volume presents as a block that combines all functions. The office building, the parking garage, and the office and commercial facilities to the west of the parking garage towards Schlossinsel Park are linked via a continuous single-story plinth with uniform materials that delineates the boundaries of the site. The office building, with an area of about 4,850 square meters, is arranged around an inner courtyard above the plinth and, in the four upper stories, is stepped back in terraces towards the yacht harbor to the north-east, thus creating a clear orientation towards the adjoining port basin, with an attractive view across the water. The terraces have been designed as part of a modern world of work and supplement the flexibly usable office levels. The facade, with its large individual landscape-format windows, reflects the commercial architecture of the surroundings.
The first floor of the parking garage plinth structure will contain shops and eateries facing Schlossinsel Park. The parking garage is intended to provide enough spaces for the office users and, in addition, to address the restricted parking in the neighborhood. The facade rising from the plinth has been designed as a clay brick grid structure that allows light and air to penetrate, thus hiding the cars from view and allowing economic operation without artificial ventilation.

The hara line is a dimension deeper than that of the chakras. It is the axle of the wheels of life (chakras) which is of vital importance when it comes to inner balance. Tan Tien or the true center is situated on this line. At times we can feel we are not connected to spirit or ourselves and this may be from a disturbance or kink on this line. My experience over the years has shown me the impact this line has on our spiritual vitality. Over time l have been able to work directly with this aspect of life and understand it's importance in how l personally respond to daily life. To keep the line in good order is to have order in one's own life.
The human body is a resonating system of solid and subtle energy bodies. The Chakras are the be st known ways to describe the subtle bodies as documented for thousands of years.There are 7 chakras, or levels in our bodies that relate to our mental, emotional and physical state. Sometimes when we are overwhelmed energetically we get stuck. Or sometimes when we deal with overwhelming situations we feel drained or heavy.

Giant Bulbs Bear Up to 20 Red Spiders Apiece!
Brilliant Late-season Color that Spreads!
Expect up to 20 blooms from every bulb!
Every garden deserves the beauty of Spider Lilies . . . and every gardener deserves the carefree growth and maintenance of this long-lived bulb! Rely on these fascinating crimson blooms for brilliant late summer and early fall color that lasts for years.
These stunning 2-inch-diameter blooms sport incurved petals, long and slender ("spidery"!), surrounding a nectar-filled center that hummingbirds rely on for food at the end of summer, when other flowers may have passed in most gardens. The flowers are excellent for cutting too, so you may have to grow a few extra Spider Lilies to bring you brilliant indoor as well as outdoor color!
Each bulb sends up about 4 flowering stems. And each of these stems sets a cluster of 4 to 6 blooms. So you can expect about 20 blooms from every Spider Lily bulb. And the best part is that this perennial is happy to colonize where it is happy. Just leave it alone (Spider Lilies do not like to be re-planted or divided; they will tolerate it, but then they have to recover, which may cost you a season of heavy flowering) and it will multiply into great drifts over time. Nothing could be easier or more beautiful!
Related to Amaryllis, Spider Lily blooms best in part shade in most climates, preferring full sun only at the northern edge of its hardiness range. Plant the bulb with the top bit just above ground level, and mulch it in well if you live in a cold-winter climate. During summer, when the bulb is dormant and there is no aboveground growth, water it sparingly. There -- that's it for maintenance!
Plant Spider Lilies generously wherever you can in your landscape. They will repay you many times over, beginning the very first year! Zones 7-10.


Why do we suffer, and what is the nature of our suffering? At its core, all suffering stems from our belief in good and evil or duality, and at the level of mind suffering is the result of our placing judgment on events and circumstances in our lives as being 'good' or 'bad'. It is this positionality that causes us to suffer. Buddha taught that ultimately all suffering comes from the mind, and it is in the wanting of things to be different than they are that we create our dilemma.
Suffering can take many forms, and be expressed in many different ways. We may be angry or frustrated because something didn't work out the way we wanted, or we may wish we were better looking or had more money etc. But it is not the things themselves that creates suffering, it is our relationship to them. It isn't the car accident or lack of money or even disease that is creating suffering, it's how we see and relate and ultimately respond to the conditions and circumstances that exist.
When we stop wanting things to be different, not only do we end our suffering but we also open the way for change. A disease cannot heal so long as we place judgment on it as being 'bad', just as we cannot find the solution to circumstances or events in our lives so long as we have a charge on them. The act of placing judgment on things locks them in place and prevents the free flow of energy, and ultimately causes suffering. Our acceptance of them then not only brings an end to our suffering, but will also open the way to our healing.
It's important to note however, that acceptance also means being willing to suffer if necessary. Acceptance has to be unconditional. We must be willing to surrender the small self in order that we may become our True Self, and this not only means surrendering all of our beliefs and judgments and essentially all that we have become at the level of mind, it also means being fully willing to allow Life and Divine Wisdom to have control of the process of our unfoldment. The mind can be very clever and think "Oh I see.. I can use acceptance to end my suffering.", but this doesn't work. It must be left up to Being.
By completely surrendering our judgments and positionalities, and simultaneously allowing Divine Wisdom and the movement of Life to work for our good, we are accepting and embracing all aspects of what IS. It is at that point that our suffering ceases and healing and spiritual integrity begins to come about. Krishnamurti once said "I don't mind what happens", and that must be true for us all. We must Trust that Being knows what needs to happen better than we, in the realization that ours is a journey of the Soul in the Body of God.
So be unconditionally accepting and loving with yourself and the events and circumstances of your life and you just might experience a miracle or two! And until next month, keep smiling!

eBook Published 15 March 2012
SubjectsHumanities, Politics & International Relations
Sloan, E. (2012). Modern Military Strategy. London: Routledge, https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203124468
This textbook provides a coherent introduction to post-Cold War and post-9/11 military theory for upper-level students seeking an initial understanding of strategic studies.
In the contemporary period there has been significant and growing interest among students about international security issues. While many publications focus on one particular aspect of military strategy, there is no single volume that provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of strategic thought in this new era.
Modern Military Strategy will fill this gap in the literature, with chapters on the conduct of war in each of the naval, land, air, space and cyber dimensions, and on nuclear strategy, and irregular war and counterinsurgency. The text concludes by identifying crosscutting trends, statements, and principles which may form the basis of a modern, general theory of war.
This book will be essential reading for students of strategic studies, war studies and military history, and highly recommended for students of security studies and international relations in general.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION NOTICE: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against InnovAge Holding Corp. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm
Newsfile Corp.
November 28, 2021, 7:08 p.m. ·2 min read
Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2021) - The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against InnovAge Holding Corp. ("InnovAge" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: INNV) for violations of the federal securities laws.
Investors who purchased the Company's shares pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's initial public offering conducted in March 2021 (the "IPO"), are encouraged to contact the firm before December 13, 2021.
If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.
We also encourage you to contact Brian Schall of the Schall Law Firm, 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge. You can also reach us through the firm's website at www.schallfirm.com, or by email at brian@schallfirm.com.
The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.
According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. InnovAge centers failed to provide covered services for participants amongst other failures. Based on these failures, there was a significant risk that CMS would suspend new enrollments until such time as an audit of the Company's services would be performed. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the IPO period. When the market learned the truth about InnovAge, investors suffered damages.

Angola: TotalEnergies Sells Its Non-operated Interest in Block 14
EXPLAINER-Scientists struggle to monitor Tonga volcano after massive eruption
For tennis fans, the gamble – which has backfired so spectacularly – was offensive. For tennis players, it must have felt even worse
PARIS, January 17, 2022-- TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has signed an agreement to sell, jointly with Inpex, the company Angola Block 14 B.V. to the Angolan Company Somoil. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Angolan authorities.
Scientists are struggling to monitor an active volcano that erupted off the South Pacific island of Tonga at the weekend, after the explosion destroyed its sea-level crater and drowned its mass, obscuring it from satellites. The eruption of Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano, which sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, sent tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean and was heard some 2,300 kms (1,430 miles) away in New Zealand. "The concern at the moment is how little information we have and that's scary," said Janine Krippner, a New Zealand-based volcanologist with the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program.
UPDATE 1-Unilever says GSK consumer arm 'strong strategic fit' for business
Dove soap maker Unilever signalled on Monday it would pursue a deal for GlaxoSmithKline's consumer health business, calling it a "strong strategic fit" after its 50-billion-pound approach ($68.4 billion) was rejected. The update comes after GSK confirmed over the weekend that it had rejected the Unilever offer for its consumer healthcare business, which is home to brands such as Sensodyne toothpaste and Emergen-C vitamin supplement. "The acquisition would create scale and a growth platform for the combined portfolio in the U.S., China and India, with further opportunities in other emerging markets," Unilever said, pointing to synergies in the oral care and vitamin supplements business.

Celebrations planned for MG's 90th
MG has a wonderful heritage and it's great to see the brand being revived now after 90 years. The celebration is well deserved.
Special August event in Beaulieu, Hampshire, planned for MG's 90th anniversary
MG's 90th anniversary will be celebrated later this year with a special meet-up in the picturesque surroundings of the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire.
The now-revived sporting brand started out life back in 1924 when dealer Morris Garages in Oxford began customising more staid Morris cars. The famous octagon MG badge was first registered as a trademark in May of the same year.
The Beaulieu event to be held on Sunday 24 August will bring together cars going back to early VA and WA cars from the late Thirties to modern cars produced by Chinese owners SAIC and assembled in Longbridge, Birmingham.

Subaru Ascent Versus the Competition
competition coming from Jeep?

TheLex said:
That's great to know that the vehicle is already compliant with 3rd row safety requirements.
When Subaru implemented the SGP in 2017 it was made to handle all crash test until 2020 or 2025 I believe
At least 2025. If there aren't big changes for another 8-10 years, it's good for longer than that. And of course, every Subaru model will already be on a new generation before 2025, meaning they can have the new generations already beating the 2034 requirements (or whatever the date is).
PLEASE pay it forward and donate to my National Parks Fundraiser if you've found my posts helpful. When I am not on an #AscentAdventure, I'm out being a Subaru Ambassador or doing lots of photography. And, remember, I am not your Subaru Technician - always discuss any suggestions (mine or others) with YOUR authorized Subaru service technician.

No, that's not the problem or reason. The test criteria is released many years in advance. Some manufacturers plan ahead to meet or beat the tests, some don't and hope, some don't do anything (Ford Explo is consistently rated at about the same place).
Yes, it's true that there are a few years notice, but my point was that the current JGC platform was determined in 2008-2009 with Daimler. That likely pre-dates the small overlap. The vehicle does better in the earlier tests, however.
That said...I'm still buying an Ascent. Real soon now.

finally a real competitor! (Not for me; they priced it out of my range, but it looks like it has potential to be a very good vehicle)

only if they do it well which given that it is a Jeep and the new owners I doubt. They did get it correct in terms of the market which is why the Ascent is so popular. I bet all the features that would compete with the Ascent would be an add on. In addition I doubt they would be competitive with Subaru's safety features and ratings. They say it will come in at the low end of $40,000 which I suspect is fairly stripped given Jeeps history of pricing and higher retail points. I am happy for the competition, as it will up everyone's game.

Lap of Luxury: 12-, 14- and 16-Way Power
automatic-content-migration
Beyond 10-way seats, carmakers have to get a bit creative, so it's hard to group the controls together. The Cadillac STS offers as conventional a 12-way adjustment as you're likely to find, with four-way lumbar and eight-way cushion/seatback movements. Its larger sibling, the Cadillac DTS, adds a back massager.
The Infiniti G37 upgrades to adjustable cushion and seatback bolsters, a real bonus for sporty drivers. There's also a seat cushion extender that adds thigh support in front of the seat, for a total adjustment count of 16.
The Jaguar XK, meanwhile, goes without any seat-cushion bolster adjustments (the seatback bolsters are still adjustable) but adds four-way power lumbar and a power cushion extender. That gives its 16-way seats a leg up (excuse the pun) on Infiniti, whose cushion extender is manual. We should also note that the XK's controls are on the door, a much more accessible location than alongside the seats. More cars ought to do this.
If a dozen-plus ways to pamper yourself isn't enough, well, you obviously have deep pockets (and if you ever throw a party, you ought to invite us), because you're clearly into …
Sybaritic seatwork knows no limits. We're not sure whether a seat actually needs a power cushion extender and power-elevating head restraints, but the Lexus LS 600h offers both — and it also powers the position of your seat belt in the B-pillar, up and down. If you count the seat belt, that's 18 awe-inspiring ways to settle into your car.
Not enough? The Audi A8 L has all that plus a backrest that can adjust for lower and upper angles, basically adjusting its concavity against your spine. The head restraints have their own bolsters, too, which can be extended to provide lateral cushioning for your noggin. Total adjustment count? 22. Think about it: That's more adjustments than your neighbor's Toyota Camry has for its driver's seat, passenger seat and steering wheel — combined. Be sure to tell him that at the next block party.
And we could go on. By the time we shot the luxury cars, Mercedes and BMW officials had packed up for the day, and most of their cars were locked up. The same was true of exotic brands like Maybach and Rolls-Royce. It's entirely possible one of them has more controls lurking, though we're not entirely sure what those controls would do. (Behold, power shoulder-pad extensions! Comfort for all body parts!)
Back to the original question: Is there a point at which you have too many buttons? When we started out, we thought so. But umpteen cars later, those cushion extenders and headrest retractors don't seem so bad. We may need more time in that Audi to investigate.

Are you a real person packout? Or just a bot that Google's and posts the first result? Lol
I enjoy learning so when I am intrigued with a question that I have or someone else poses I quickly look it up. And far from the first result. When appropriate I go for the original documentation if it is available. true for our Nation's founding documents as well as supreme court rulings. I actually read the Justices and other appeals court writings not just the interpretation of others. I review many perspectives and technical articles on a wide variety of subjects. My wife works with basic breast cancer research so I often go to the computer to read enough so I understand what the heck she is talking about. I have read quite a bit about the standard operating procedures for viral testing which helped me understand the major flaws in the current testing for covid. My son has his own interests which I try and keep up with and requires my own research so we can share topics of interest.
I know about many resources so when Robert is looking for a auto part I pull out my national auto parts resource and look it up and pass it on.
In terms of this forum, it is my way of giving back for so much it has provided me as a resource . I did pretty well negotiating when I bought my Ascent but now I know so much more on how to improve my negotiating technique. When there is someone in front of me (face to face or virtual) who knows more on a subject, I listen and try to take it in.
Duck Duck Go is my preferred starting point in basic searches.

IMO the only place the current JGC really excels is with the 4x4 system and the Hemi drivetrain giving you the 7500lb tow rating, but as others have said it's at the expense of safety. I don't buy the argument of diminished value of the poor safety ratings because it was an old design subject to modern tests. That doesn't make the front overlap results any more palatable to me, just highlights that there are much better options out there in terms of safety.
Hopefully Jeep can address the safety issues and still provide a 7500lb tow rating, that may push the competition to go past the 5000lb plateau that the other offerings are stuck on.
I will make it clear that I'm a Grand Cherokee fan and in full disclosure, also help moderate the Jeep focused forum that's a sister to this one. The next generation of JGC that's now become revealed has been a long time....too long...coming. It's a complete platform redesign and other than (initially) the same engines and transmissions as well as some other drive train components, is "all new", just like has been happening with Subaru and the Global Platform across the line. WL-75 (the three row) JGC that was just officially revealed is going to be a hot seller in a hot market. JGC is already one of the highest selling midsize SUVs on the planet and has been for a long time. WL-75 has a whole new factory dedicated to it at the launch right next door to the (Jefferson North as a historical name) factory that has been spitting out nearly 800 current generation JGCs and about 200 Durangos...per day. That factory will continue to produce the "WK2" JGC for a few months along with the Durango until WL-74 goes into production mid-year. My understanding is that the current Durango will still come off that line, but the plan is for Durango to go in a completely different direction for next-gen, including possibly back to body-on-frame. When that happens, the entire operation will be JGC for even more units per month. And historically, every single one that's produced is already sold, either to an end customer or for a dealer order...they don't force ship them out and don't need to. That's how popular the vehicle is.
You can pretty much bet that most if not all of the safety concerns have been addressed. Remember, the current platform (derived from Merc's ML-350) came online for production in 2010 for MY11 and was developed well in advance of that start of production. That's a very long time in vehicle design years and many of the evolving safety things just couldn't be addressed without a physical platform change. That's reality, buy it or not. That same reality is that Jeep is very late with that change. They screwed up big-time, IMHO. It was originally supposed to move to next0gen in MY17 and then that moved to MY19. They missed it there, too. MY20 was then expected to be a short model year with the new 2-row and 3-row next generations coming on as a MY21. Enter...pandemic. While they are making the initial release of Grand Cherokee L as a MY21 for convenience, it's really a MY22 vehicle which the 2-row will be introduced as in a few months. That's a long delay from original intent. They now have to meet even higher expectations because there are more players in the 3-row area for sure than there were only a few years ago.
The tow rating remains unchanged from current...7200 lbs/720 lbs tongue for 4x4 and the V8. I believe the limit for the V6 4x4 also remains at 6200/620. Tongue weights above 350-400 lbs require WDH. Keep in mind that the vehicle itself is heavier than the Ascent by quite a bit...JGC Summit 4x4 weights in at over 5300 lbs. But WL-75 has a substantially longer wheelbase than the current "WK2" platform and that should indeed help with towing performance around balance. That's not such a good thing for off road stuff...the two row is a better choice there because of the angles, etc.
I'm not going to be going out and buying Grand Cherokee L. When I wanted to move to a 3-row two years ago (for the space, not the seats), there wasn't a Jeep option and I had been hankering for Ascent since it was just a gleam in Subaru's eye. I'm extremely happy with my Ascent and it's staying in my driveway. I'm committed to Subaru. But don't underestimate the impact that Jeep's WL-75 can and likely will make on the 3 row marketplace. JGC is a huge seller volume wise already and that's likely going to carry over as the three row becomes available.

Nice write-up.
Back when I was a car mechanic, I loved Chrysler products. They were easy to work on and typically spent lots of time in the shop (1960's and 70's products).I never owned one although I put a couple of 426 Hemis into other makes.
Fast forward to 1996 and we leased a Grand Cherokee. Total piece of junk other than the drive train (which was virtually identical to the pre-Chrysler Jeep Wagoneer drive train).
The JGC was my wife's daily driver. It was garaged at home and at her office. I mention this because it's relevant to the ridiculous problems the car experienced. A couple of months in, I noticed the hood and roof were rusting. The dealer insisted we did something to cause it. Then I used a Jeep forum to make contact with other JGC owners experiencing the same and collected photos which I submitted to the dealer and Chrysler HQ. At about 1 year they agreed to strip the paint, neutralize the rust and repaint it.
Soon after the repaint, my wife goes to take the car out of the garage and found the entire headliner laying across the seats. Same battles ensued and they replaced the headliner.
Soon after that, just driving on the interstate we heard a clunk inside the car and took the next exit to investigate. We found the rear passenger armrest on the floor and the interior panel was in shreds like it was disintegrating. No one was back there, in fact no one had ever been back there. Back to the dealer and same battles. Over the next year, the same thing happened to each of the other doors.
There were numerous other issues in the electronics and brakes that required trips to the dealer. Never had a drivetrain issue but the other problems were just absurd. I was never so happy that it was leased as the day we dropped that off at the Jeep dealer and took a cab over to pick up our new Lexus.
Won't ever own a Chrysler product.

Chryslers have been hit-and-miss for my family, but the Jeeps have been pretty good. We had a '96 ZJ Laredo with the factory Up Country suspension package and it was a real mule. It had the 318 V-8 and we towed a 6500-ish pound travel trailer all around with that Jeep. And we did three Jeep Jamborees in it. It had about 150k miles when it left the family, still running well.
On the flip side, my folks had an '05 Hemi WK that they had to force Jeep to buy back due to continual real axle issues. They went through like SEVEN rear axles on that Jeep -- and no dealer could figure out what was going on. They forced Jeep to buy it back and then bought the '05 MDX that my family has today. They had TJ Rubicon and a JK Rubicon also with which they did a LOT of off-roading with RV Jeep clubs.
Chrysler treated us poorly in the late 2000s on a 2007 Town & Country we bought new. We sold that van to CarMax and bought my folks' MDX from them. Although I was really sore with Chrysler for how they treated us, I know Chrysler corporate has been through about five different mergers and take-overs since then, so I know the Chrysler of 10 years ago is not the Chrysler of today (at least I hope not).
They have some really compelling vehicles. I've always like the Grand Cherokee line because it was the least ostentatious of Chrysler's SUV lineup (think Nitro, Durango, etc.). Most Grands today are like the Orvis edition Grands from many years ago -- classy and understated (and pretty expensive, too!). I suspect the buyers of a 3-row Grand Cherokee are likely not in the same financial demographic of most Ascent buyers (there probably won't be a lot of price overlap), but I'm sure it'll be a really nice vehicle.
Titan, those early JGCs were indeed "not worthy". WK (MY05-MY10), was ok and "WK2" (MY11-MY21) were very different and also Unibody. Not totally problem free, like any vehicle, especially early production MY14 after the refresh, but not pieces of junk like the earlier generations. "WK2", as I mentioned has been built on the same platform as Mercedes ML-350 and that platform still lives in the GL series, too. WL-75 and WL-74 are a new platform that comes from the Stelvio and Giulia but scaled for the midsize SUV.
hokiefyd, The financial demographic between Ascent and JGC-L will have "some" overlap, but JGC is definitely a more expensive vehicle ranging from the low-40s up to about 60, depending on trim level and packages, etc. My MY19 Ascent Touring's list price was almost $10K less than my MY12 JGC Overland Summit and the OTD price was about $5 less.
If I'm not mistaken, the Grand Cherokee (starting with ZJ) has always been unibody. I didn't know if you were saying WK2 was different because it moved to a unibody platform or not, but I think the Grand has always been unibody (much like the XJ Cherokee).

From a cost standpoint, I'd find it surprising if these are remotely in the same range - similarly built. I do like the V8 option in the JGC, though and I think if they do a Trackhawk version, that'll certainly interest some.
I think this car may find itself in a similar predicament as something like the GV80 (still to be seen). While they offer some premium/upscale materials, options, and features they start to quickly encroach on X5/GLE/Q7 pricing which may make them less appealing.
All that said, I think it looks really good in pictures and look forward to seeing it in person.
Will be curious to see how much options add to the cost. I get the baseline pricing for the variants, but even the Ascent stops right around $50k for decked out Touring. I have a feeling it will be easy to add $15k-20k to a given Jeep.
Scoobydoo said:
JGC pricing already exceeds $60K at the top end and that's not changing with WL. As I noted, there's some overlap with Ascent at the lower end of JGC, but it's definitely a step up on price range. I don't believe that the price is going to curtail sales at all considering it's been selling like hotcakes for many years now with similar pricing. The MSRP of the MY12 I owned was about $53K and that was over 9 years ago. The equivalent is now about $60K. But Ascent is already at the top of many Subaru buyer's range so while there will be some cross-shopping, you would think it wouldn't be huge. But then again, look at what folks have been paying for Kias that compete with Ascent...
Scooby, Trackhawk is coming for WL, but delayed until MY23. That thing is going to be a beast, even more than the "WK2" based version which kicks major hiney already. The suspension will likely be another step up from current and it will probably weigh a little less. 700 HP on the top end version and a little lighter weight will be, ummm....rocket-ship like I'm thinking.
Yea, I don't see the pricing slowing the sales. Freaking Yukons are going for six figures!!!
WL-75 and WL-74 are a new platform that comes from the Stelvio and Giulia but scaled for the midsize SUV.
This is not confidence inspiring.
Chrysler was already the most unreliable brand of US manufacturers. Joining with Fiat didn't elevate their quality whatsoever.
In my personal experience as a mechanic and owner, the only personal vehicle that I owned that was worse quality than the Jeep Grand Cherokee was my Fiat 124 Coupe. The Fiat, when it was running properly, which was rare, was one of the most comfortable, best handling sports coupes of its time (even better than the legendary BMW 2002 which I also owned). But, it spent more time up on jacks in my shop than it ever spent on the road. Ordering parts and receiving parts all the way from Italy was time consuming.
I'm really not so sure about the current Jeeps either. My neighbor had the 2 door version of whatever the current Wrangler is and it went on fire in his garage and almost burned down the house. The insurance replaced it with another identical model. This one gets parked far from the house.
I'm happy that so many people like their Jeeps but wonder why anyone buys them if they aren't hardcore off-road enthusiasts.

"OK I know some one will come up with a version of linux you can self compile to do the same trick, so I expect a few downvotes."
No downvote, but an upvote instead, coz in general I agree.
Aboriginal Linux might be a start for that sort of thing. http://landley.net/aboriginal/about.html Development for it finished last year, but it's still usable. I've used it to build an OS for an embedded device.


It's almost Friday, and for the next few weeks Todd took Fridays off. When he's home, it feels like we're all on vacation.
This summer, I've been making an effort to bring along my camera almost everywhere I go - just in case. It's totally been paying off and I seriously suggest it. Make sure it's not your SLR though, I've almost lost my elph a few times already!
Have a beautiful (early) weekend!


Matzo is a Jewish unleavened flatbread, which is used mainly during the celebration of Pesach, and recently in everyday life as well. This product is distributed all over the world."UkrTechnoFoods" offers equipment for the production of matzo. The matzo production line is manufactured in Ukraine and is fully automatic. The capacity of the line is 100 kg/h.
In matzo production it is possible to produce kosher matzo for the Pesach holiday. In the rest of the time it is possible to produce other types of matzo for everyday use according to a change in demand: salted matzo, matzo in chocolate, matzo with onion flavour or pepper, sweetened matzo.
it is possible to produce a rectangular and round matzo on the line.
Wheat flour is fed into the kneading machine (flour made of emmer, barley, rye, oats can also be used), where the mixing of dough is made. After that, the dough is fed to the extruder, where the dough ribbon is formed, and further on the conveyor belt it acquires the required thickness on the rolling machines. In order to reduce fermentation, the dough is punctured by a special machine. This process allows you to remove the "bubbles" of air from the dough ribbon.
After that, the edges are cut and the products are shaped. The peculiarity of our equipment is that it can produce both rectangular and round matzo. It is innovation for industrial production of matzo, since matzo of round shape was produced previously only by hand.
The finished dough pieces are fed to the tunnel oven. After the baking is finished, the ready products are fed to the cooling conveyor, where they are cooled to the optimal temperature. After that, the matzo is conveyed to the table where it is packed.


Creates a virtual locker where you can store as many files and folders as you want, keeping them hidden from the other users of the PC and restricting access to them by encrypting them with a password.
A+ Folder Locker is not the average data protection tool – it creates virtual lockers in your computer where you can store any amount of files and folders, which will remain hidden and safe under various layers of protection. You can add a hacker-proof password to your lockers, and encrypt the data inside them using any of the most widely used encryption algorithms on the market.
Considering the way data is locked up using this tool, you are strongly advised not to forget the password you used to lock it, or you may be saying good-bye to your beloved, most sensitive information. To help you with this, the program includes a "password wallet", where you can save all your passwords in a safe and structured environment. The program allows you to create standard text passwords, but you are strongly advised to use the "pattern passwords" that A+ Folder Locker provides. These are hacker-safe, though not very mnemotechnical.
Passwords, however, are neither the only nor the strongest of the locks that this program can apply to your data. Encryption is another one of them, and you are allowed to choose the algorithm you are more comfortable with among around a dozen of the most popular ones, including Blowfish, the "Ice" family, Cast128, and RC2. Finally, the program can work in Stealth Mode, meaning that even the entire locking process can be effectively hidden from hackers and other prying eyes.
I do not want to finish without mentioning the program's steganographic protection systems and its efficient shredding utility. The former will allow you to disguise your data as an image file or as a video, making it impossible for virtually anyone to find out that your most sensitive information is traveling together with your holidays memories. The latter will let you utterly destroy your sensitive data without leaving any trace that they ever existed.
One way or another, A+ Folder Locker is capable of hiding and protecting your files and folders in ways that no hacker will be able to figure out. However, the program will be very happy to save in a log for you every single of their fruitless break-in attempts.

Time out for another brag: Putman Custom Publishing Wins Awards Too!
July 21, 2005 by Walt Boyes
Renee Robbins, Executive Editor of A-B Journal, reported that the custom publishing group of Putman Media (the people who bring you A-B Journal) won some awards this year too. "As a custom magazine," she noted, "we're not in the same awards rotation as the B2B magazines, but I'm pleased to announce that ABJ has won its share of awards this year as well: three design awards from the Magnum Opus competition, which focuses on custom magazines, and one editorial award from APEX, which covers corporate communications of all types."
That's 18 awards for excellence for Putman Media magazines so far this year!
That kind of speaks for itself.


– By Asghar Ali EngineerIslam brought about a great revolution in the field of knowledge in Arabia where literacy was almost unknown and people took pride in their ancestry rather in culture and civilization. According to Tabari, the great historian and commentator on Qur'an, there were no more than 17 people in pre-Islamic Mecca who could read and write. No wonder than that pre-Islamic period came to be called period of jahiliyya i.e. period of ignorance. It5 was in this background that Qur'an's emphasis on knowledge has to be seen. The very first verse begins with the word iqra' (read) and the word 'ilm (knowledge) occurs more than 800 times in Qur'an as against the word jihad which occurs no more than 41 times. Qur'an called 'ilm light and jahiliyya darkness.
One can say there were three principle sources of knowledge in Arabia of the: time Qur'an, the Prophet (PBUH) and Ali. The Qur'an was of course the principal source which came through wahi (revelation) to the Prophet, Prophet's contribution was through hadith (what he said on various subjects) and sunna i.e. what he did and people observed and reported. Ali's contribution has reached us through his speeches as he was man of great oration and which was later collected under the title Nahj al-Balaghah i.e. (Highway of Oration) and some letters he wrote to his governors. There is famous hadith of the Holy Prophet accepted unanimously "I am city of knowledge and Ali is its door" and one enters the city through door. Such was the importance of Ali in the matter of knowledge. Ali contributed very richly to intellectual advancement of Muslims.
Qur'an is source of revelatory knowledge i.e. from Allah and Prophet's knowledge was innate rather than acquired and Ali's knowledge was what the Prophet passed on to him and hence called 'ilm ladunni as well as what was born of his vision of the society. Prophet was insane-e-kamil i.e. perfect human being and Ali next to him in perfection. Hence for sufis Muhammad and Ali were two sources of inspiration. The Prophet (PBUH) lived in this world and yet was never attached to it. Ali, who always tried to closely follow the Prophet, never felt attracted towards the allurements of the world. Je is even reported to have said I divorce the world thrice i.e. never to be attracted by it.
Ali, like the Prophet, was basically a deeply spiritual person and yet, like the Prophet, was conscious of the fact that millions of people live in this world and this world should be such as to provide meaning and guidance to human life and to minimize human suffering. Renunciation of the world is no solution. This is possible only if one fulfills bodily needs but does not become slave of ones body.
There was power struggle in early Islam but Ali kept away from it unless power was thrust on him after the assassination of third Caliph Hazrat Usman. Ali, while avoiding temptation of power was also conscious of the fact that one needs power, not to control others but to enforce certain rule of law, morality and justice. Qur'an provided best guidance and yet all those who embraced Islam did not become perfect Muslims. They had all sorts of worldly temptations and many of them even had embraced Islam for worldly gains.
Ali's priority, therefore, was to mould Muslims into real mu'min (i.e. believers) and make them good Muslims and this world a just place to live in, in keeping with the Qur'anic teachings. Qur'an tried to strike balance between spiritual and bodily needs, between materialism and spiritualism, the Prophet being its perfect blend. Ali's exhortations in Nahj al-Balaghah are a rich source of this approach. Since Ali never sought power to control others and exercise his authority, when it was thrust on him he used it to enforce rule of law and justice as rigorously as he could. In this process even his closest allies were alienated from him but he did not care. Abdullah bin Abbas was his closest ally and yet he wrote a stern letter to him when he took money from state treasury as a governor of Basra which was more than his share. He left Basra unhappy.
Chief Justice should be selected, he writes, from the best of people who cannot be intimidated, who does not err too often, one who does not turn back from the right path, one who is not self-centred or avaricious.
Thus it would be seen Ali's concept of power was for people. Never over people but unfortunately the world was not perfect enough to accept this concept and he paid price for it through his life and became martyr for the cause on 21st of month of Ramadan.

Saul Goodman's Worst Moment In Better Call Saul Season 2
By Zachary Leeman/March 25, 2022 5:38 pm EST
The last season of "Better Call Saul" is finally set to premiere on AMC on April 18. The "Breaking Bad" spin-off has had an impressive run already, racking up 39 Emmy nominations and providing Bob Odenkirk arguably his biggest and most layered part. The series has followed attorney Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk) and his journey to becoming the eccentric and morally dubious Saul Goodman, the tricky lawyer for Walter White's (Bryan Cranston) growing drug business. It has turned out to be a deeply personal and emotional journey, expanding on the world of "Breaking Bad" by showing the beginnings of characters like Mike (Jonathan Banks) and Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). But mostly, the series has honed in on a character struggling to play by the rules when the rules seem to always keep him down, whether in business or his own family.
It's safe to say Jimmy/Saul has had his share of low points in the show and moments where he's crossed more than a few ethical lines. He was particularly lost in Season 2 when he questioned even pursuing his legal career. His worst moment that season came right at the end.
Saul Goodman's worst Season 2 moment is a family affair
Although Jimmy McGill's journey sees him wading into increasingly ethically troublesome waters, the character is balanced by his relationships with those closest to him. In the early seasons, this includes his friend and eventual love interest Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), as well as his brother Chuck McGill (Michael McKean).
Anyone who has watched the series knows Chuck and Jimmy's relationship quickly devolves and it arguably crumbles into nothing in "Klick," the Season 2 finale. In the episode's final moments, Chuck says he is retiring due to a massive mistake he made on one of his accounts at work. Of course, viewers know that it was actually Jimmy who engineer this error in order to help Kim get ahead. Jimmy admits the truth to his brother, his every word slicing through what's left of the relationship.
Jimmy's betrayal of his brother is returned when he leaves and it's revealed Chuck recorded Jimmy's confession, something that will go on to create a major conflict for Jimmy's still young career in law. Chuck is arguably the last connection Jimmy has to his McGill name and this marked the beginning of the end for the two, with Jimmy going on to become more attached to his Saul Goodman way of doing business.


More than 1000 locals attended the 2016 Gold Coast Community Expo & Seniors Forum at Jupiters Hotel & Casino in October.
Moncrieff MP Steven Ciobo and special guest, Minister for Justice and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Counter-Terrorism Michael Keenan MP, were among a range of speakers who addressed topics including retirement living, pensions and entitlements, as well as crime gangs and community safety.
Various stalls were also on offer, providing information on products and services available to seniors.
