My boy hates writing. He has tons of difficulty with it thanks to a significant lack of motor skills.
Or maybe I should say "HATED" and "HAD."
We use a writing program called Writing Strands every other week. On the 'off' weeks, we do basic writing instruction with a simpler curriculum that involves some copy work and simple practice of writing, making the shapes of the letters properly, going over punctuation and capitalization, etc. Since he still occasionally flips letters and is still learning the rules for the other stuff, it works out. But he really likes Writing Strands.
This week, the goal was to write a story. An entire story. He freaked out when he first heard the assignment because OMG lots of words means OMG lots of writing means OMG flip out NOW NOW NOW. Thankfully the book gave lots of parameters when it came to this story. For some kids, that might be too restrictive; for my boy, it eased a lot of the "What am I going to write about???" anxiety. It was perfect. He spent the first day brainstorming about exactly how the story should go. He answered questions about his potential story on the second day and ironed out the kinks in his mind. On the third and fourth days, he wrote and illustrated his story. It is his masterpiece. He's incredibly proud of it, and I'm incredibly proud of him, too.
I now humbly present to you "The Story of Tom," as read by its author. Please enjoy.
Sunnyview... the name of a real one-room schoolhouse my parents attended as children, it is now our homeschool name and, on good days, our outlook on life. Welcome!

For decades many Hello Kitty fans have assumed the beloved Japanese cartoon character was a fancy feline, an impression reinforced by her whiskers and pointy cat-like ears.
But those fans were wrong.
Hello Kitty is, in fact, a little British girl, a story in the Los Angeles Times revealed this week.
The little girl even has an extensive back story — including a twin sister, a love for apple pie and a pet cat named Charmmy Kitty.
Hello Kitty scholar Christine R. Yano told the Los Angeles Timesshe was corrected "very firmly" by Sanrio, the Tokyo-based company that produces Hello Kitty, when she suggested the cartoon character was a cat.
Despite her feline qualities, Hello Kitty is never depicted on all fours and always walks and sits like a two-legged creature, Yano noted.
A spokesperson for Sanrio reportedly told gaming website Kotaku that the cartoon is a "personification" or "anthropomorphization" of a cat.
The revelation has fans reeling. Many took to Twitter to express their utter dismay.
Though Tram Ly regularly sees Hello Kitty's face, she never imagined the cartoon was a little girl.
"I was surprised. I really thought she was a cat," said Ly, who works at Just You - Sarah & Tom on Yonge St. "This is really random news."
Adjusting to this "new" version of Hello Kitty will take some time, Ly said.
"It's going to take awhile for me to take in that she's a kid, not a cat," she said. "It's just so weird."
Hello Kitty products are popular commodities at the store, Ly said. Though Just You carries a vast array of gifts and knick-knacks adorned with Japanese and Korean pop culture icons, it's Hello Kitty merchandise customers coo over.
Hello Kitty's sweet, mouthless face appears again and again throughout the store, plastered on the pink and white wallpaper behind the cash. There are shelves of plush Hello Kittys in an array of costumes and rows of sparkling Hello Kitty jewelry. There are notebooks and cups and wallets all decorated with the white cat-like face. There's even a Hello Kitty toilet paper dispenser.
And this merchandise is just the tip of the Hello Kitty iceberg. Since she first appeared on a coin purse in 1974, the cartoon has become a cultural icon, replicated on everything from sewing machines to beer bottles.

This year, Hello Kitty's 40th birthday is being celebrated in style in Los Angeles, where a retrospective celebrating her history and influence on pop culture will open in October at the Japanese American National Museum. The exhibit is being curated in part by Yano, who wrote the book Pink Globalization: Hello Kitty's Trek Across the Pacific.
The first-ever Hello Kitty convention will also take place in L.A. from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.

Know the Tricks and trades from the syndicate of web designing, on how to perfect the art of beautiful typography, right here in 5 simple rules. Learn about the important aspects which affect the readability of the text and the easy rules behind it.
Readability is an important aspect of web design, on the personal front. While SEO is chief, a good typography supplements the design of the website while engaging the viewers, hence it is vital to integrate a good typography making it easier on the reader. Respectable readability translates well with the viewers, allowing them to grasp the content and efficiently absorb the information.
This post will explain some of the basic rules of typography one needs to follow to create a visually appealing website from a prominent web designing company in India.
1) Decide Typography Systematically
In terms of web designing, each typographical decision should simultaneously archive varied quantity of results. Each sentence, line or even a single word should be search engine friendly and legible to read while fitting with the look and the graphical style of the web page. It should be in line with the company requirements, suiting the position of the company with a simple objective to meet the user expectations of copy-pasting the text.
The checklist of the perfect typeface is pretty monumental to fill, but not impossible to execute.
As a web designer, one needs to make the decision of using a search engine-friendly font or use an embedded image which requires font as images, either statically or dynamically.
2) Scan-able text
The scan-able text differs a little from the readable text, although they go hand in hand with the readability of the text. A good scan-able copy consists of noticeable headers, systematic hierarchy and focuses points to guide the users seamlessly through the content. Highly beneficial if you are aiming to be one of the best SEO Company, as it would certainly help with SEO.
Focus points are basically elements or design objects on the layout which are supposed to attract the users or at least engage them. Focus points are mostly graphical elements like CTA buttons or even a header at times.
Header and body text size and position size, text line, height and contrast and the ways focus points are differentiated all impact how scannable copy is.
3) White Space
Space contributes deeply to the aspect of readability of the content. Using the white space accordingly will help the user to follow the text without getting lost in the clutter. White space can also act as a separator between the graphical elements and the text.
Proper and concise use of white space gives a clean, elegant and uncluttered layout. The user's eye flow from one text element to another text element is smooth given the large sufficient amount of white space.
4) Density Of Text
The density of text refers to the concentration of words in a given area. Density particularly has a major impact on the readability of the content. The factors which make or break your text based on density are line height, text spacing bad font size. It is important to strike a balance between content that is perfectly readable and aptly scan-able, be sure not to make it too condensed or widely spaced.
5) Consistent Contrast
Contrast is the final deciding factor if you want to make the content readable. Use of duller and understated colors as the background will make the text stand out and easier for the user's eyes to followFeature Articles, devoid of distractions.

3 youngsters who can thrive at Frank Lampard's Chelsea
Background image: Ben Sutherland, CC BY 2.0
Modern times call for modern solutions. With the Maurizio Sarri era a relatively short one even for the Blues, Chelsea are shifting gears. Roman Abramovich is exiting his Italian phase and isn't looking for a marquee manager. Perhaps the dreaded transfer ban imposed by FIFA has forced his hand. All indications point to club legend and Derby County boss Frank Lampard being strapped into the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
Lamps isn't as experienced as any of the gaffers he played under, not even Roberto di Matteo, but his methods serve a sense of excitement. Not only does he believe in fearless, attacking football, he gave opportunities to young players at Derby and those players responded. Be it a famous victory at Old Trafford or defying the odds at Elland Road, the 41-year-old's encouraging demeanour towards integrating youngsters into his side is impressive.
Chelsea's famous academy might finally come into the limelight. Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori were raised to new heights under Lampard last season. The Chelsea system has many more waiting to grow into future world-beaters. Here are three who ought to be near the front of the line.
Marc Guehi
After Fikayo Tomori worked wonders at Derby County, winning their player of the season award, Lampard might want to revolutionise Chelsea's defence with bolder, younger options. David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta aren't getting any younger. Marc Guehi will be happy to be given an opportunity to show what he can do after establishing himself as a mainstay in the youth team this past campaign.
The 18-year-old was part of England's 2017 U17 World Cup winners and helped guide the Blues to the UEFA Youth League final last season. A compact defender with a strong ability to neutralise strikers, he also shows composure in distribution. Could Lampard mould him into the next John Terry?
Despite his age, Guehi's a confident prospect with long-term benefits. Not only can he develop into a powerful, assertive centre-back, he shows the potential to be a strong leader.
Charlie Brown
Good grief, this 19-year-old striker is nothing like the wishy-washy Peanuts character who shares his name. 'Chuck' was in sublime form last season, eclipsing the achievements of the clubs senior strikers with his decisive work. Brown netted 12 goals in nine UEFA Youth League matches last season. As long as Lucy isn't holding the ball on spot kicks, he can finish. After Martel Taylor-Crossdale decided to pack his bags for the Bundesliga, Brown's path to the senior team became clearer. Plus, it's easier to spell his name.
With 20 strikes last season, Lampard should be looking for him as soon as he changes into his training strip on his first day in charge. Blues fans would be over the moon if Brown can form a strong partnership with Callum Hudson-Odoi up front.
George McEachran
After older brother Josh settled for life in the Championship with Brentford, it's left to George to uphold the family name. The 18-year-old clearly possesses a knack for creativity in midfield. He knows how to ping the ball around to keep all his teammates involved. McEachran's an intelligent midfielder with an intuitive sense for the perfectly timed pass that unlocks defences.
Lampard showed he could share his technical know-how with the next generation. McEachran stands to benefit from that knowledge as well.
If Jorginho ultimately follows Maurizio Sarri to Turin, Lampard won't be left without a playmaker in the centre of the park. Mount remains on Chelsea's books and McEachran the younger is pushing him for a crack at the first team.

Thaya Valley National Park Podyji
The Thaya is the border river between Austria and the Czech Republic and the center of the national park. The national park house is a small paradise for young explorers. Inside, there is a multimedia exhibit "NaturGeschichten – ThayaTales" to learn more about the secrets of nature and a photo exhibition about other Austrian and Czech national parks.
The exhibition is in German, English and Czech and invites you to look, touch and play. The children can use the microscope and the mascot Max Badger to solve tricky puzzles or watch the wildcats Frieda & Carlo. The adventure playground with the Burrow, Stork and wobble tree house is ideal for letting off steam. The cozy café and the hammocks invite for power refueling.
A special hiking map for children explains the various walks, e. g. the Wildcats Trail, the Knights Trail "Kajaweg" or the Nature Trail "Hennerweg". The children have to find punch stations with exciting tasks and a punch for the hiking pass. We hiked on the Thaya Valley Trail to "Umlaufberg", which offered a great view to the Czech Republic, but it was sometimes difficult to pass through fallen trees.
Suitable for Kids: 9/10
English availability: 4.5/5 (hiking brochure in English, guided English hiking tours can be ordered in advance)
Access by public transport: 3/5 (only 2 buses from Retz on weekends)

Dr. Motsoko Pheko Biographical Sketch By Reginald Moon
Dr. Motsoko Pheko: Political Scientist, Theologian, Historian, Lawyer, Researcher, Author of over thirty books in these fields and over five thousand articles in these fields including speeches at the United Nations in New York, UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, South African Parliament for ten years and elsewhere; a co-founder of OUR AFRICA Magazine, Daystar University and founder of, Tokoloho (Freedom) Publishers. He is a former Representative of the victims of apartheid and colonialism at the United Nations in New York; and at the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, as well as former Member of the South African Parliament for ten years. When he left Parliament, he had a choice of practicing law as Advocate of High Court of South Africa or lecturing in international law at University level. But he decided to be a researcher, author and publisher in the four above mentioned branches of epistemology.
Dr. Motsoko Pheko grew up as a shepherd at a place called Mangoloaneng in today's Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is surrounded by two other places called Ngodilwe and Mangolong. These names in English variously mean "At the Letters" or "at the Writings," respectively. He lost his parents when he was nine years old. He was brought up by his mother's elder sister, Mrs. Mohau Emily Moerane and her husband Daniel M. Moerane.
He was born at a place called Sehlabathebe (pierce the enemy's shield).This was on the 13th of November 1930. Sehlabathebe is a two-hour drive to Lesotho from Matatiele in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. During the liberation struggle against colonialism and apartheid, he had the distinction of a freedom fighter that was imprisoned by three colonial regimes namely, South Africa, Rhodesia and Portuguese Mozambique for his anti-colonial activities and racism. Dr. Pheko lived in exile from August 1963 to February1995.
In April 1963, a Roodepoort Magistrate Court had earlier refused him bail on the ground that he was "a young intelligent educated Bantu (African)." And that "such Bantu belonged to the radical Pan Africanist Congress."
Pheko did his Standard Six (Grade Seven) at Mariazell Institution in Matatiele, Cape Province. He did also his three-year Junior Certificate also here. But he was promoted and did it in two years instead of three years. His subjects were Commercial Arithmetic, Typewriting, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Commerce, English, Southern Sesotho, General Science and Geography.
After his Junior Certificate at Mariazell Institution, he did all his education from Matriculation by correspondence or part-time (i.e. working as well as studying). His subjects were: Sesotho A, English A, Xhosa B, Agricultural Science, Book-Keeping, Commerce and Mercantile Law. He continued the following studies by correspondence with the University of South Africa. He holds a B.A. degree from the University of South Africa, majoring in Political Science and Systematic Theology and reading Sesotho Language, English, Sociology and History.
He did his Bachelor of Laws degree with the University of Zambia, a Master of Laws degree in international law with the University of London, a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Kensington (part-time). His Thesis here was: SOUTH AFRICA: A FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF COLONIALISM AND SELF-DETERMINATION CLOUDED BY RACISM, MUTALATION OF HISTORY AND MANIPULATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
One of the significant contributions he made during the liberation struggle against colonialism was to give information to the Pan Africanist Congress leaders when they campaigned against the illegality of South Africa as a state in international law at the United Nations. His research reinforced the PAC Case which exposed to the world that South Africa had not become "independent state" in 1910 through the Union of South Africa Act 1909.
Dr. Pheko had given some of his information on his researched paper to Pan Africanist Congress leaders. Some of these were Edwin L. Makoti and David M. Sibeko. They were the official PAC researchers on the campaign to have colonial South Africa expelled from the United Nations; as non-state in international law.
On this issue, Prof. Tom Lodge of Witwatersrand University later wrote: "In 1974 the Pan Africanist Congress succeeded in obtaining the expulsion of South Africa from the United Nations General Assembly and in 1975, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Meeting in Uganda adopted as official policy a long document prepared by the PAC arguing for the illegality of South Africa's status." (Tom Lodge Black Politics In South Africa Since 1945)
Dr. Pheko was admitted as Advocate to the High Court of Zambia in Lusaka as well as Advocate to the Supreme Court of South Africa in Pretoria. He served as a Member of Parliament in South Africa from 1999 to 2009.
Theologically, He pioneered the interpretation of Romans 13-2. This scripture verse teaches obedience to governments. Some colonial missionaries had used this scripture portion of the Bible to uphold the authority of colonial regimes in Africa. Dr. Pheko disagreed with this missionary interpretation. He pointed out that Roman 13:1-2 was there when colonialists came to Africa and overthrew African governments.
It took sixteen years for some theologians to accept Dr. Pheko's theological position. This was after the holding of the Pan African Christian Leadership Assembly (PACLA) in Nairobi Kenya in 1976.At this Assembly Dr. Pheko had given a paper titled THE CHURCH AND POLITICAL PROTEST. DECISION Magazine; a publication of the famous American Evangelist Dr. Billy Graham Crusade Association published extracts from Pheko's paper agreeing with his theological position.
While in exile, Dr. Pheko became also a co-founder of a university in Bulawayo in colonial Rhodesia, now an independent Zimbabwe. This University was finally established in Nairobi Kenya because of the rebellion of the Rhodesian colonialists under Ian Smith on 11th November 1965.
As one writer has written, "Daystar University's origins go back to 1967 When Donald K. Smith an American missionary and Motsoko Pheko a journalist who was a political refugee from South Africa envisioned the founding of a Christian high institution of learning in Rhodesia where they were both based." (DAYSTAR UNIVERSITY JUNE 2015)
On the 16th August 2018 Dr. Pheko received a letter that read:
Dear Dr. Pheko,
Greetings, I am writing you this email to express appreciation to you for your great achievements on the Continent [of Africa]. I am an alumni of Daystar University in Kenya. I work in South Africa at the University of Johannesburg. I read your name in the Daystar University Handbook and saw that you are actually one of the founding fathers of this University together with Dr. Donald Smith.
I submitted my request to the Daystar University Alumni Association to bring you on board to Kenya so that you can see how Daystar University has grown and become a great University….I am looking forward to hearing from you and taking you to Kenya.
Eric B. Niyitunga (D. Litte et Phil Senior Lecturer
(**His home country is Burundi. He was educated at Daystar University and in France.)
Dr. Pheko is a lover of education. He has had tenacity for acquisition of epistemology – the science of knowledge. He believes that relevant education is the only type that can define the destiny of Africa's children and nation. "Our education must speak to an economy that uses technology. We need satellites that will protect our oceans from poaching. We need technology to plant food that is climate resistant."
He has declared, "We need an education that transforms our Continent to self-reliance. Our economic resources are useless to us as Africans, as long as we lack technology. No amount of 'foreign aid' will develop Africa. Only the sweat and technological skills and knowledge of the sons and daughters of Africa will develop Africa. Self-help is the best African help. It is self-care. It is self-aid. It is self-management, nationally and continentally. To succeed on a large scale on this; Africans must do all things together."
On 15 March 2019 he received this letter:
"Greetings Dr. Pheko,
First and foremost, on behalf of the Virgin Islands Caribbean Cultural Centre at the University of Virgin Islands; we extend our appreciation for the public accessibility of your lectures, articles and related publications providing analytical research and accurate socio-political resources of the current affairs in the African continent and the impact throughout the African Diaspora….
Additionally, we welcome receiving information regarding the requirements to host you for lectures and or workshops at the University of the Virgin Islands and our community in 2019 as your schedule permits….
Dr. Chenzira Davis Kahina,
Director Shared In Culture, Heritage and Education "
Dr. Pheko is a widely read person in various fields of knowledge. He believes that a reading people will soon be a thinking people and that a thinking people will soon be a great people not easy to be cheated as has happened in Africa to Africans by some foreign powers. He agrees with Prof. Dani Wadala Nabudere of Uganda that:
"For Africa to regain her dignity she must recreate her own world view and identity through knowledge." He agreed also with Prof. Ngungi wa Thi'ongo of Kenya that: "Africa does not need charity… but liberation." He agreed also with Dr. Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe who like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana had a vision of Africa as "a giant monolithic state of Africa."
Dr. Pheko was a distinguished Member of the South African Parliament for ten years. A leading newspaper in South Africa, BUSINESS DAY reported him as the best speaker of the Year in 2002. This paper said, "In what was the best speech in Parliament this year, Pan Africanist Congress Deputy President Dr. Motsoko Pheko warned: "A constitution is not a key to open a bed room to take political prostitutes to bed…."
He is very strong on his views. When the media asked him if he would consider crossing to any political party in Parliament, he answered, "The day I cross from the Pan Africanist Congress to the ANC; it will be a sign that horses have grown horns. I am not for sale and stomach politics."
He was very effective in the South African Parliament. To appreciate this profoundly, read his autobiography about how he got the British Embassy expelled from the Premises of the South African Parliament. It had located itself here since it bought that piece land for two shillings and sixpence (25 cents today). The ANC government had allowed this to continue.
But it was also when his opponents tried to ridicule him on the name Azania for South Africa. For instance, the Citizen newspaper of 13 October 2000 reported this on him in Parliament in Cape Town:
"Dr. Motsoko Pheko of the PAC – Pan Africanist Congress; has a particularly rich deep voice, but had trouble being heard during a portfolio committee debate. Committee Chairman Mluleki George trying to ridicule him, advised him to switch on "the microphone of Azania" on the desk in front of him. Pheko duly did so, and then solemnly announced over the system: "Greetings from Great Azania!"
Some of Dr. Pheko's philosophy is based on seven Bible verses. "And we know that all things work for good to them that love God, to them that are called to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
"Whether you eat or drink, whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:30)
"Therefore, all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is, the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) "And as you would that men do to you, do you also to them likewise." (Luke 6:31)
"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, as wise, redeeming time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15-16)
"And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant." Matthew 20:27) "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." (Matthew 23:11)
According to him, life is God's favour. Time is opportunity to fulfill the earthly mission God has given each one of us. Time must not be wasted and opportunity must not be missed. He has upheld integrity in politics. When a certain faction in politics falsely accused of him embezzling funds and purported to expel him this is what happened.

Some Academic References Given To Dr. Motsoko Pheko
- A letter from London University 30th June 1988 read:
"To Whom It May Concern:
I taught Mr. Pheko in the academic year 1984-1985 when I was a lecturer at London University. I have since that time left the University in order to work as a lawyer at the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Mr. Pheko took two LL.M. courses with me out of four courses necessary for qualification, namely, the International Law for Protection of Human Rights and International Law of Armed Conflict and the Use of Force. Both courses are intensive in that they are very large amount of material as well as on analytical understanding of issues involved.
I remember Mr. Pheko as being a very conscious student who did not miss a single lecture class and who was always well prepared. He had moreover, a good understanding of the essentials of the subject. This is reflected in the examination results. I therefore, believe that he would be well able to teach international law as well as pursue research in the material.
On a personal level, Mr. Pheko is a pleasant person who I am sure would be well liked at the institution.
Signed: Louise-Doswald-Beck
Member of the Legal Division of the International Red Cross in Geneva"
- For its part, The British Institute of International and Comparative Law had on 24th June 1988 written: "This is to certify that …Motsoko Pheko, an LL.M. student in the years 1984 to 1986, attended the seminars on the Law of Treaties which I conducted with Mr. D.M Hutchinson throughout the academic year 1985/1986.Mr. Pheko actively participated in the seminars and showed great understanding of International Law.
Lady Fox
- For his part Prof. Jim Read, Head of Department Comparative Public Law, London School of Oriental and African Studies on 30th June 1988 wrote:
"To Whom It May Concern
Motsoko Pheko Esq. LL.M.
I am glad to have this opportunity to recommend Mr. Pheko as a suitable Candidate for appointment to lecture in law at a university level.
Mr. Pheko was a student in the class I taught for the LL.M. course in African Law during the session 1985/1986. He made a distinct impression in African Law as an industrious and conscientious post graduate student who made valuable and articulate contributions to seminar discussions. It was therefore no surprise when he achieved a good result in his LL.M. examinations.
Mr. Pheko is a reliable and mature person of integrity and would, in my opinion, be a valuable member of a University Law Department. I therefore, recommend him as suitable candidate for appointment.
Jim Read
Head of Department"
On 28th November 1985 the Law Association of Zambia wrote:
"To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Motsoko Pheko – Advocate
The above named person was admitted to practice as an Advocate of the High Court of Zambia on 7th December 1979 and did practice under the legal firm of Mwisiya & Co which is still in practice in Zambia. Before leaving Zambia, he was a holder of Practising Certificate No.2772 for the year 1981 which has since expired as the same was only for one (1) year like all other cases. We have nothing against him in the Law Association of Zambia and nothing against him at the Bar.
The above being the case on Mr. Pheko, I have no hesitation in recommending him for whatever post he may seek to get in the legal profession.
Yours faithfully
On this planet Dr. Pheko often reminds through a quotation he likes most that: "The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching our goals, but in having no goals to reach. It is not a calamity to die with ideals unfulfilled, but it is a calamity to have no ideals to fulfill. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach."
He has great respect for that oldest book in the world called the Bible, also known as the Word of God. He never put any of his books on top of his Bible. His Bible is always placed on top of all his books. This to him is to symbolise that God is Supreme, Creator and is Source of knowledge and wisdom.
Out of the more than thirty books he has written are: AFRICAN INVENTORS AND THEIR INVENTIONS As well as AFRICANS IN THE BIBLE AND WORLD HISTORY. Dr. Pheko has pointed out that the Bible message has been presented in Africa in a manner that distorts Africa and people of African descent by many Europeans. He has pointed out that, all people mentioned in Genesis 10:6-20 are Africans –Kushites. They are descendants of Ham.
He has written that Africans are mentioned more than 1000 times in the Bible. God has done many things with Africans. The first five books of the Bible were written by a person born in Africa, grown up in Africa, educated in Africa and eventually married to an African woman Zipporah (Numbers 12:1).
His name was Moshesh. He is popularly known as Moses (Exodus 2:10).He was educated in the highest institutions in Africa. Paul has written, "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds." (Acts 7:22).Ancient Egyptians were Africans. They were the descendants of Mizraim one of the sons of Ham.
His father-in-law was an African priest. He became also Moses' adviser when the Jews were leaving Africa for Canaan or Palestine. His name was Jethro (Exodus 3:1, 18:1:12). He was known also by the name of Ruel (Exodus.2:18)
Ancient Jews who by the way were protected in Africa by Africans and preserved here were not "white." Examples are Moses, Naaman, Miriam and Gehazi (Exodus 4:6, Numbers 12:10, 2 Kings 5:1,27). This is as written in the Septuagint and the Vulgate Bible. What is white cannot turn "leprous as snow." The miracle makes it clear that what was black was turned "leprous as snow" and then black to what it originally was.
Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ looked like Africans."Are you not that Egyptian, which before these days, made an uproar and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?" (Acts 21:38), Paul was asked. He answered, "I am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech you, suffer me to speak to the people." (Acts 21:39)
Dr. Pheko has drawn attention to Dr .Felix Konotey-Ahulu, a leading scientist and author of a world acclaimed major textbook on medicine. It is called THE SIKLE CELL DISEASE PATIENT. It is 643 pages long. Dr. Konotey-Ahulu is also a composer of the 3rd millennium hymn. It has seven stanzas/verses. He is a Nigerian. He has defended the Christian faith in publications such as The British Medical Journal.
He has reminded that "Africa had more to do with Jesus than Europe because this is the continent [Africa] where he first learned how to crawl and walk. And that He was protected in Africa by Africans when the wicked King Herod wanted to kill Him as Saviour of the world." (Hosea 11:1, Matthew 2:13-21)
Indeed, as Dr. Motsoko Pheko has added, "the first human being to be touched by the sacred blood of Jesus Christ was an African. This was Simon of Cyrene from the soil of Africa. This was at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:32.)
Jesus Christ Himself as a human being on this planet sent from Heaven by God; to redeem mankind, descends from King David an ancient Jew whose wife was Bathsheba. She was a Hittite, a descendant of Canaan and Ham. The ancient Jews spent many years in Africa whether it was 400 or 210 years. The fact is that they spent many years. On this continent, Dr. Pheko has diligently researched and found all this important information for Africa and put it in many of his writings."
Is There Life After Death? Dr. Pheko strongly believes in life after death. He often quotes Job whom he calls a "Kushite and that ancient African," who has asked, "If a man dies shall he live again?" He answered, "All the days of my appointed time I will wait till my change comes." (Job 14:14)
Job added, "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, not another." (Job 19:25-27)
Dr. Pheko has spoken of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind Who as a Baby found protection in Africa. He says this Saviour had invincible power and divine integrity to fulfill His promise when He said, "I tell you the truth, whosoever hears my word and believes in Him Who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned, He has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24)
He has quoted the following servants of God as having affirmed the truthfulness of eternal life:
1. "In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promised before the world began." (Titus 1:2)
2. "Let us hold the confession of our hope without wavering, for He Who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23)
3. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off." (Proverbs 23:18)
4. "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4
5. "Blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." (Jeremiah 17:7)
6. "These things I have I written to you that believe on the name of the son of God: that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1John 5:13) END

Get cranked.
While most riders look to the Dura Ace groupset for the best-of-the-best, but with the R8000 groupset Shimano sought to bring that pro-proven performance to a more affordable price with only a slight weight gain. With a redesigned crankset that pulls the features and technology down from the 9100 level, the FC-R8000 is designed to minimize weight without sacrificing stiffness. With a wider gear pitch, this crankset is designed to fit into a variety of frame styles and geometries.Designed to provide riders with choice without complication, the FC-R8000 is available in standard compact, semi-compact, or cyclocross gearing options, with crankarms from 165mm – 175mm in length.
Solid shifting, nearly as stiff and light as Dura Ace for 40% $ less.
Product is phenomenal. The 165mm cranks suites me perfectly since I a am a short rider.
Besides being affordable, shipping was fast. I purchased this item in size 3236t, which I couldn't find anywhere for this price, not even on eBay.
I considered these cranks as a replacement for my venerable Shimano Dura Ace 7850 Compact cranks. The problem was, I'd worn out the big chainring of my classic 7850 crankset and purchasing a new chainring was more expensive than the full price of the Ultegra modernized upgrade (lighter and stiffer).
I was not disappointed...the Ultregra replacement performed flawlessly with my SRAM Red eTap WiFli setup. The front derailleur shifting was noticeably improved, and just as stiff (if not more) than the Dura Ace it replaced.
Just goes to show that the Shimano trickle down technology is very real and rewards riders that put lots of miles on their equipment.
I bought the 46T36T version to replace a SRAM crankset and was immediately impressed by the improvement in front shifting. Everything else in my SRAM 10-speed drivetrain was unchanged, so the improved shifting can defiinitely be attributed to the Shimano chainrings (which have a reputation for being stiffer than SRAM)...Installation was easy. You'll need a Shimano bottom bracket, but those are cheap and sturdy with good weather-resistant bearing seals. Lastly, the Ultegra 8000 asethetics are mint clean lines, muted dark gray finish. I actually think this crankset looks nicer than its much pricier and only slightly lighter Dura Ace 9100 cousin.
Pretty sweet crankset if you race cyclocross. This is my second crankset of this size, I put it on a road bike that I built for my coming tour that involves a lot of climbing. Shimano only made this teeth count combination for Ultegra, but the rest of the group is DuraAce. So far, it perform exceptionally, crisp gear switching and lightweight. The new version (R8000) is good looking too.
Maybe a tiny bit less stiff than Dura Ace . But so solid, smooths and ready to go. Snappy in acceleration and spins for days. I am sure that if you are looking to find the difference between this and dura ace you will find it . but you have to really look for it.

I took the girls to Cub Foods yesterday for a little shopping. We had already gone through a gallon of chocolate milk and a gallon of white milk this week. We got a few frozen pizzas and some pop for New Years Eve.
The oldest girl insisted we had to have some horns for the party. After traipsing all over the store, we finally found them up by the cash registers (DUH!). The package of four "tooters" was $1.99. So, after we got home, we baked some New Year's Eve cookies (peanut butter with chocolate chips). The girls sat at the dining room table and frosted them and then covered them with colored sprinkles (the best part!)
We invited a neighbor and his son to come over and he brought a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne. Around 8:30, we had our champagne toasts and the girls really got into that! I had brought out my collection of small jelly glasses with dinosaurs and muppets on them. When the the girls discovered that clinking glasses was fun, everybody had to be toasted individually by every other person. After the toasts were finally done, they and the neighbors all went out in front and made a racket. But since the wind chill was 20 below, that didn't last very long.
It was a full evening and the girls didn't get to bed til 10:30. They woke up as usual around 8:00--the youngest first. She was still in her jammies when she asked me if they could go in front and blow their horns again.
I like that kid's attitude!

DAY THREE – July 3rd, 2008
Morning – University of Chicago….
Took the commuter train from Mount Prospect into the city… hopped on the above ground train, and took the Green Line train to the University of Chicago.
While waiting for the train, we began chatting with a couple who had just moved to the city… long story short, she is an actress – and she and her fiancee grew up in Dayton… his next door neighbor was Jim & Jerry Lake from North Riverdale Lutheran Church!
We got off at Washington Park, and walked through it, arriving at the UofC hospital where Nathaniel Stevens was born. We walked through the campus – one of my all time favorite campus! es, and saw where my good friend, Rick Donichar, lived while working on his graduate studies. Ironically, Monte Stevens lived in the same area while attending seminary. After he and Chris married, she worked on campus. The Stevens and I realized we had been attending the same churches between 1986-1990!
After that trip down memory lane, we hopped on a bus and headed to the Green Line, and another bus which deposited us at Navy Pier! One of the most beautiful places in Chicago. We ate lunch, walked the pier, and enjoyed our time…

Journey to the Moon
The Keshe Foundation announced the first spaceship project with the collaboration of the Chinese Government to go to the moon within the next weeks. After the first successful trial, there will be another journey where all the nations can choose whom they want to send as their representative to the moon. The only government excluded is Belgium – not the people but the government.
There will be a lot of consequences for the future or humanity.
Material Consequences
If we can travel to the moon via our soul in 15 minutes, it will of course be possible to travel from Beijing to Washington in 5 minutes without crossing any border… in the aftermath, the governments are faced with the problem that borders and passports become oblivious. Even their definition by geographical borders become irrelevant. So the 'Great Wall' of Donald Trump is already not worth talking about anymore.
The former nations will have to dissolve and re-integrate themselves into a One World Council. And as there will be no more geographical definitions of nations, this category will be replaced by the spoken languages. So for example the US, England, New Zealand, Canada and Australia will be reorganized into the English Language section of the World Council.
After the first successful launch, the Keshe Foundation has given all the governments 2-4 month time to get rid of their borders and integrate themselves in the One Nation Council.
But not only that, all conventional travel and shipping of things will be revolutionized as well – who wants to stand in line for check-in, security and passport checks for 3 hours and then spend 20 hours more for what can be done in 5 minutes?!
This development makes whole industries (air plane, ships, trucks, 'homeland security' etc) obsolete; and consequently we have to find ways to channel the liberated labour force into new occupations without putting too much stress on the nations' economy and social structures.
Spiritual Consequences
Travelling space with the new Plasma Technology happens in a way that each passenger has to trust the pilot, has to give his soul to the soul of the pilot, so all can move as one. In a way we have done that all along, when you travel with a conventional air plane, you trust your life into the hands of the pilot. For travelling pilots that's OK, but what about the political pilots? In many many cases, our trust has been abused. So we have to re-learn to trust. How do we know whom to trust?
That's the big question! It has probably two possible answers:
- Trust, in reality, is not a transitive word; trust has no object. It is not important whom our what you trust – it is important that you trust. Period. You can maybe understand that it is your capacity to trust which makes you non-abuseable. You trust your life, you trust your Soul and you follow her path because it feels good.
- When you develop the contact and the intimacy with your own Soul, you will sharpen your feelings. You remember that it is the feelings and emotions that are our inner GPS. Our emotions are the indicator if we are in alignment or not with our Soul. And the more we are in alignment, the more we will be able to see other Souls; the more we will be able to see the real intention 'behind the mask' of pretence.
Soul Space Flight
To travel into space by our soul looks at the same time more easy than travelling by any kind of machines; on the other hand it seems impossible because we have no clue how to 'use' our soul to do that. And there is exactly where the problem lies: by habit we want to use our soul like a car. But we totally forget that the Soul is the Principle and we as a body or as a personality (mind) are only temporary matter states of the Soul. We actually got our identification wrong: we are Soul and not the body neither the mind. So there is no question of using the soul. We rather have to find a way to free the Soul from the bondage in the material world where we have kept it at least for the past 8k years. In other words, we have to find the way to be the Soul and not the material body.
We actually can compare the Soul to a bird in a cage; the spiritual Soul is imprisoned and confined within a material cage. Naturally we can just wait for our death, for the moment when the cage opens and disintegrates to liberate the Soul? Or can we trust the soul and open the door of the cage, so the bird can fly free during the day, knowing that it will come back into the cage in the evening. In the atmosphere of trust, the cage becomes a home and the door can be left open, so the Soul-bird can go out as it feels and come always back in.
To be able to trust our Soul we have to trust our self, because our self is the Soul and not the body nor the mind. Therefore it is necessary for us to detach our selves from the body and the mind to be able so see our selves as our Soul. The most practical way – in my experience – to get to that state has been proposed by OSHO: always be the watcher; even when you notice that you have become identified, come back to the watcher… and slowly slowly the door of the cage will open and the cage disappear.
In the context of space travel, the current teachings of the KF are proposing two possible solutions:
- To free the Soul-bird and travel by temporarily suspending the body
- To continue using some kind of machines and move by carrying the cage
The Soul teachings offered here are about much more than just different methods to travel into space; they are actually about different ways we can understand our nature and our potential to do and get what ever we want. And this happens of course within the ethos of the Universal Principle:
Let whatever you do, be for the Common Good
We are here to serve and not to be served
And remember; whenever the Souls feels caged and her possibilities cut off, she will rebel, she will make her point very clear – first she will give you negative emotions; then you will see physical conditions like accidents or diseases. This is all your Soul trying to tell you that you are on the wrong track.
In the medical teachings it has been said many times that we have made the body a leech on the Soul; a leech is just like putting a 200lbs weight (out of fear!) on you – how can you fly with this?
There are two ways to get rid of the weight:
- Elevate your soul
by understanding her so much that the weight does not matter any more – that corresponds to the way proposed by Buddha or Osho: understand that your are not the body and you are not the mind (see picture at the beginning of this article) but pure awareness.
- The collective approach
There are families and couples etc that are embracing the Soul teaching and they are very much linked together as a group. So they become clusters which generate a super strong magrav field that will pull in more and more people into the understanding of the Soul – this creates the path for the 100-monkeys phenomenon.
Parallel to that the KF is working heavily with governments, totally under the ethos of 1 Nation 1 World 1 Race for Peace. Governments represent the people or, in other words, people are united and represented under governments. That is a fact – like it or not; and as a fact it can be used. In other words, the current Zeitgeist is using the collective mechanisms to bring about the change. This has the same attracting cluster effect than the magnetic families.
In the past there have been prophets of the soul like Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krshna and there have been prophets of the material plane like Tesla and Schauberger. Since the Plasma Science reunites the material realm with the spiritual realm, we advance in the two directions at the same time, because we are one, body and Soul.
Depending on your understanding, you can either feed yourself, get your energy and travel by physical means; our you can use different plasma devices to create the magrav fields which will create all that you need to feed yourself, energy and travel; or you can satisfy your needs directly from within your Soul without any intermediary.
Remember also that the Soul teachings of M.Keshe fall under the same constraints as the teachings of Buddha, Jesus and the rest: they will choose the language that can be understood by the audience. And luckily, all the ones who carry the totality of understanding can talk in a way that can be understood by people with different levels of understanding at the same time!
Space flight and life line
We can use reactors and Magravs to help us get across large distances in the Universe, but we have to connect them to the magnetic fields of the Universe. In conventional space travel up to now we followed the paradigm that we are bound by the gravitation of the earth; and we have to create a bigger thrust in our rockets i order to overcome the gravitation and move beyond. In the beginning of the plasma technology we have followed the same paradigm, trying to create reactors that release more power than the gravitational pull.
When we play with magnets, we observe that two magnets for example can be moved easily as long as they are not touching each other. As long as they are not touching, their interactions are dynamic, they are in the flow, movable; as soon as they physically stick to each other, their interaction freezes so to say, becomes static. We have to learn and adapt our technology to how the Universe works, not how we are used to do things!
In regards to space flight we have two options:
- Either
we fight the gravitational pull of the earth to overcome it and fly.
- Or
we let the gravitational pull be as it is and rather use the magnetical pull coming from the place to where we want to go.
- But
maybe we should not fight the magrav forces that we are attached to, because we are living by them, because they are our 'life-line': wherever we are in space, whenever we may be lost, this attachment to our origin, the planet Earth, keeps us connected, so we can get back. It works in a way like a bungee rope.
So the best way would be to guard our life-line, the gravitational connection to Mother Earth and to use the magnetic pull of the destination to travel. This means we travel in space by magrav positioning. Magrav positioning requires us to be able to do two things:
- We have to establish the magrav target coordinates, a particular field strength that corresponds to the magnetic gravitational field strength of the point in space where we would like to go. Each point in the Universe has it's own particular gravitational magnetic field strength, it's signature, it's coordinates.
With plasma we can do this; for example we can create a particular GaNS of a defined field strength. Remember the spiral image of GaNS, where the closer we get to the centre, the stronger the field is? So we have to choose the right spot on the spiral to get the right plasma strength. The spectral analysis of GaNS-CO2 showed that it contains virtually any element in the solar system. So we have to find out how to pick the right component, the right plasma or field strength.
- At the same time we have to be able to convert terrestrial energy (based on CH12) into universal energy (based on CH14). Both are incorporated into Deuterium (H2) which contains CH3, CH12 (earthly carbon with can be the fuel for earthly speed) and CH14 (universal carbon which can be the fuel for universal speed). The normally black H2 flips sometimes spontaneously to another colour (reddish or orange) signifying the change in element (from H2 to C14). The means to provoke the flip at will is know as the magnetic field strength pressure.
Do you remember the accident with the Chinese flight system that caused a surcharge and a power out in the whole city? The accident was caused because the lightning of a present thunderstorm in the area triggered the flipping of the GaNS to another energy level too fast. The sudden surge in energy could not be contained by the reactor system and was released right away and this caused the power outage. The thunderstorm could trigger the accident because the lightening and the rain carried the same amino acid fingerprint than the GaNS; so when the two energies met, they build up and released power.
What happened there as an accident, could be used to create an unlimited energy supply.
But how do we flip the GaNS forces? M.Keshe said that we do this anyway since ever; our body is the best reactor of magrav system in existence! For example when we breathe we take in universal fields. Not all of them because we retain only the ones that we need by every breath we take in the plasmatic state. We know that our breathing and the plasmatic filtering out what we need, is not done by our will – it just happens, our body knows perfectly well how to do this. We can trust it 100%.
We have learned that our eyes are made of amino acids (COHN); that's why we can only see things that are amino acid based (upper picture). When we change the amino acid structure of our eyes form COHN to COHZ then we will see only the structures that are based on this type of amino acids (lower picture). That means that as soon as you can see a star, you have already tuned into it; you have established a connection to go there instantaneously!
Our physical eye sees a star in the sky and the Soul sees other Souls on that star and the Soul of the star. The information received by the eye does not need to be transcribed in order to be received by the Soul because both use the same channel. The eye keeps on looking at the light of the star and the Soul already communes with a soul on that star – simultaneously. Because we choose to look only through the physical eyes, missing completely the information and communion of the Soul!
O.K. so how can we switch from the physical eyes to the eye of the Soul?
Well… how does a mother communicate with the unborn child inside her? She feels the needs of the child as her own needs, because the child is inside her; her self, her me is so big that it includes the baby. And the link of communication is love of course. That's maybe why a mother who cannot accept a child growing inside her, cannot commune, doesn't know what the child needs and the child may die in the womb, or be born with deficiencies, or too early or too late?
Let's go back to space travel: here we are the baby and the universe is the mother. We want to go to a certain place, the universal mother knows exactly what to do to get us there. Just like our body knows exactly how to filter the right elements out of the air that we breath. If we can manage complete confidence in her, then hop! we are where we want to be! So it's unconditional love and trust and confidence who do the job for us. Falling in love with what is, is the only way to go to the level of communion and to have everything you want right away.
How to fall in love?
That's easy, remember the feeling when you were in love and act it, live it – without any reason, just for the fun of it. Do all the things you did when you were in love.
The ability to travel freely the expanse of Space is intimately linked to our acceptance into the Universal Community. Up to now we have been confined into the fields of our planet Earth. Up to now we were embryos inside her womb. Now Humanity has matured enough that Mother Earth will give her free passage to be born into the Universal Community. In this context M.Keshe is the midwife for the whole Humanity and his teachings are giving us the tools to make this birth into the Universal Community as easy and joyful as possible!
Thank you M.Keshe!
… when we all can go to space and travel there freely, it is very possible that the travelers will see beauty they have never seen before and experience a degree of freedom that they have never experienced before. That means many will go and view will return to the Planet Earth.
What may result is a heavy depopulation of the blue planet; and a polarized depopulation as such. In other words, the emigration of the intelligentsia from Africa or from Quebec will become a global phenomenon: mostly the uneducated will be left behind. Therefore there is a great need to expand education rapidly to reach much bigger sections of the population.
Momentarily (July 2018) 7 nations are working with the Keshe Foundation without going public for now. Amongst them China is about to create the more advanced spaceship/oasis-system/generator – as a non-physical system where there may be some physical components to ease our understanding…
Space oddities
Here's another effect space travel will have on our body: when traveling the space, we are getting nourished by plasmatic energy directly – as a consequence our digestive system will retract and disappear, because it is not needed and not used.
The same thing will happen to our eyes, because the real beauty in space is not seen by our physical eyes, but the eyes of our soul… so our eyes will disappear as well. If you heard about near-death experiences, you know that people on the operation table 'die', they leave their body, all life-signs stop, and they float up to the ceiling from where they have a detached view of the doctors and nurses working on their body. Here they also do not see with their physical eyes. We actually don't need our physical eyes to see.
So in space all physicality is suspended and we 'do' everything by the power of our soul. This brings us back to the question: how do we get into our soul, so we can operate from there instead of our material means and tools? We get there when we can move our attention away from the physical into the vibrational realm. The weekly additions of Abraham Hicks show this process in a clear and easy way.
Soul Space travel
You can fly without any technical means, just by the power of your Soul, if you know how to retract your central energy inwards. Which means how to retract every cell of your body in order to transfer them as a form of energy to any point of destination. This is not new, your system does it all the time: you eat material food and the body transforms it into energy; and then – at the point of need – the energy is transformed back into matter.
For example you drink a glass of milk which contains calcium (Ca). The gastric acid separates the material Ca from the plasmatic Ca. The latter is transferred through the intestinal membrane into the lymph which transports it to the place where it is needed: the bones. At the point of destination the plasmatic Ca is transformed back into the matter state to be deposited into the bone structure.
The transfer of energy always goes by differential in field strength: a stronger gravitational-magnetic field feeds the weaker one. If for example Ca is needed by certain bone cells, their Ca-field is weaker and the Ca in plasmatic form made available to the body is stronger. A stronger field can also be created by GaNS-Patches in different concentrations.
The bi-directional transformation – from matter to GaNS to matter – is the way that our body nourishes itself; it is the same way it heals itself; and this is the same way we are going to Soul Travel. The 'beam me up Scotty' illustrates quite well how it works. The body cells are transformed into energy/form, into a plasmatic state. In this state there is no distance neither is there time; so the energetic body can be displaced instantly to any destination where it is re-materialized.
But how to do it?
You may have noticed that the vital functions of your body are not controlled by the mind (otherwise we would probably all be dead by now); the bi-directional transformation of food happens on it's own. The body knows perfectly well how to do it. If we were to interfere into the process with your controlling mind, our will – we only mess things up. We have learned that it is just the interference of the mind into an otherwise perfectly working mechanism, that creates dis-functionalities, failure, sickness and ultimately death. So we have to trust completely that our body and our soul know perfectly well how to digest, how to heal, how to travel; and if we put no resistance to this natural process – we can fly.
It is so simple.

Brightling's roads – liaison meeting
On 5th December 2017, a group of parish councillors met with Ian Johnson (a manager at East Sussex Highways team) and Sean Homewood, the roads steward for our area. It was not strictly speaking a public meeting but we did manage to sneak a couple of parishioners into the meeting (seriously, I cannot see any possible reason why these meetings need to be private).
This meeting was part of a process called, rather grandly, Strengthening Local Relationships (if you didn't know that Strengthening Local Relationships was about roads, what would you think it was about?) and we have agreed to meet twice a year. There is a process for reporting road problems (see https://brightling.community/village-matters/problems-nuisances-potholes/ ); on the whole problems reported in this way do get dealt with and this should always be the first port of call if you are aware of a problem.
However there is nothing like the occasional face-to-face meeting, and we gave them a list of issues to do with drains, verges, ditches and road markings, which we will follow up. Due to Compulsory Competitive Tendering (outsourcing of council contracts to the private sector) there is a sometimes complicated chain of responsibilities.
For example, regular gully cleaning is the responsibility of one team, but their apparatus can only deal with blockages at or near the gulley, and if the problem is within a culvert somewhere under the road, then a different team, with different apparatus, has to be called in. As is only to be expected, this chain of responsibility occasionally does not work as it should.
We also had some input from parishioners which we raised with the highways team and this will be the subject of further discussion.
