We all have different reasons why we choose to become an entrepreneur. To me it was to have more freedom of time and choices, to be with my family, to be able to set my own income goals, to follow my dream.
When you're a mom; either stay at home or you have a day job, there are a few things to consider since being a mommy takes up most of your free time. You can always spend more time working at your business but you can never replace the moments you missed out on in your child's life.
The excitement of embarking on a new venture can easily turn to burnout. You can feel that things are getting out of control, feels like you lack progress, or the feeling you're not spending enough time on your business or with your kids.
Guilt is always the #1 topic that moms bring up in my coaching practice. I started my business when my son was 7 while I was also working full time.
I'm sharing some tips that I learned on my own path to help you to create balance in your life without feeling regret and guilt.
Prioritize what is most important for you right now
Setting your priorities straight, will save you a lot of regrets and guilt along your path. You should be on that list as well, somewhere at the top; and I know as mothers we usually put ourselves last, but to have high and positive energy level is very important to effectively handle all the tasks that needs to get done.
Allow enough time for you to sleep, exercise, eat, and relax. Put your priorities in order. This will keep you focused on what is important. Even go as far as prioritizing your state of mind, like what is more important, the feeling of making progress or me staying calm and focused?
Outsource what you can in your business and in your home
A housecleaner or a babysitter can give you more hours a week to work on your business, even if you don't have a lot of money to spend on help. Later, having help in your business can free you from tasks that you don't like to do.
Plan, based on your priorities
Be realistic about how many hours a day you can spend on your business and schedule it. If it is 2 hours a day, that is great! Two hours of focused attention is a lot more productive than multitasking or stressing over little things all day. The best way is to schedule your work hours when you have someone with you in the house so you won't be interrupted, like at night when your husband is there and your kids can spend some special time with daddy.
Avoid "shiny object syndrome"
I fell for this when I first started my business. I signed up for every free course and webinar I came across, in fear of missing out. Those courses or similar ones are always going to be there so don't waste your time on things that you don't need now. Focus on where you are now in your business. If you're a beginner, get your website and other basics in place, once that is done focus on growth.
Being flexible is so important for moms. We have so many things to take care of, and many of them won't go according to plan, so let it go or reschedule.
Be present with your kids, when you're with them
A nursing baby wants to look into your eyes, so enjoy nursing or playing with your kids and put your phone down. Kids are watching your example of being present and absorbing your energy. When you're stressed and impatient your kids can feel it, because 93% of our communication is nonverbal. They might not understand the reason for your frustration, but they can feel it.
Don't compare yourself to others
Moms and entrepreneurs can easily fall into a trap of comparing, I certainly did, and still do from time to time. I have to remind myself that others might have different priorities, or more help, more time, more money and a lot of them have been in business for much longer than I have.
Instead of thinking, "I can't compete with her!" say, "What can I learn from her?" You're special; nobody has the exact mix of experience and knowledge that you do.
According to Dr. Dan Gilbert, "Expectations are happiness killers." Change your expectations to thoughts of appreciation because once you have an external expectation you put yourself under stress until you get it. All you have control over is you, your thoughts, actions and feelings and that is all you need.
Parenting offers a great opportunity for personal growth, to rediscover your true passions and have a different perspective on the meaning of life. By exploring your passions and making things happen in your business you teach your kids the lessons of entrepreneurship and what it takes to follow your dreams.
Have fun with it!

If you were in charge of the council budget, how would you balance the books and keep everyone happy?
That's the question Dundee City Council is putting to locals with a new online questionnaire, Conversation with the City, which asks taxpayers to prioritise public services including housing, street cleaning and education.
Participants can even choose how much more council tax they would be willing to pay, from zero to more than 3%.
The authority insists that far from being a box-ticking exercise, the survey will be used to help shape the council's financial priorities for the year ahead.
Finance spokesman Willie Sawers said: "We're asking about the services that people value the most.
"People have to recognise that the more money they pay into the council the better level of service we can provide.
"The council doesn't set charges for the sake of it – and often the charges we levy for services don't actually cover the cost of the service itself.
"The money that comes in through charges is used to provide services, so the survey is designed to reflect the difficult decisions the council has to make in the current harsh financial climate."
In an ideal world, telling the council you want to pay as little as possible for everything would result in a cheaper tax bill.
However, while the survey will be used to inform the budget, the council isn't quite handing all the power to the people.
Mr Sawers would not be drawn on the extent to which the residents' feedback will be implemented.
"How influential the survey is will depend on the response rate – we would have to balance out the income we're spending on services with what people say," he said.
Nearly half of council tax bills goes towards children and family services such as education.
About a fifth goes into providing health and social care services and just under 10% goes into neighbourhood services such as parks and housing. More goes into council administration, road repairs and capital projects such as building schools.
The distribution of those funds is not fixed, meaning Dundonians could potentially have a real say in where their money goes.
Asked if the council was shying away from making its own difficult decisions, Mr Sawers said: "We want to know what people's priorities are but we're not asking them to decide everything.
"We're not asking people to make every last decision for us – it's not like we're sticking 20 pages of questions on this survey and asking for changes on everything we do.
"And many of the people who are most reliant on our services could be less representative then others in responding to the survey. We are aware of that."
The consultation has been partly inspired by the Dundee Decides survey, where residents voted on what projects they wanted to see funded by the council's £1 million community fund.
Mr Sawers said: "If you look at the turnout at council elections, it is a lot lower than UK or Scottish elections. That indicates that there's a disconnect between people and councils.
"The survey is another way for us to engage with the public and spell out our range of services, by discussing them outwith our own organisation.
"Going forward in future years, we'll be looking at the types of questions we ask too."

Berkeley Appears on List of Cities 'Least Friendly' to Homeless
Monday, July 20, 2009
Category: News > Housing
Although mostly known for its liberal mind set, Berkeley is the tenth "meanest" city to homeless people in the country, according a joint-study by two national non-profit organizations.
Berkeley rounded out the list of the top-ten least friendly cities for homeless people in a study published last Tuesday by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty and the National Coalition for the Homeless, both Washington DC-based non-profits.
City officials have rebutted claims that Berkeley is unfriendly, saying that the city has exceptional services for the homeless. The number of chronically homeless people in Berkeley decreased by 48 percent since 2007, according to a census released in early July by EveryOne Home, which coordinates the county's homeless agencies.
The study was carried out by examining local media reports and lawsuits and conducting interviews with local advocates and homeless service providers, said Tulin Ozdeger, civil rights program director at the law center.
The study then ranked the top ten "meanest cities" based on the number of what it called "anti-homeless laws" in the city, the frequency of the laws' enforcement and the attitude toward homeless people in the city, she said.
"A lot of homeless people are being arrested and cited for doing things they need to do to survive as a result of their homeless status," Ozdeger said. "If cities continue the criminalization of homelessness, they won't make progress in ending homelessness."
The report cited the Public Commons for Everyone initiative, which was passed in November 2007 by the Berkeley City Council, as a problematic policy and a reason behind the ranking.
The initiative increased the availability of public bathrooms, but allowed police to issue citations to persons lying on the sidewalk after one warning.
The initiative was directed at all residents-not just the homeless-to regulate street behavior, said Julie Sinai, Mayor Tom Bates' chief-of-staff.
"What Public Commons for Everyone was doing is to continue to target street behavior," Sinai said. "Whether or not you're housed or homeless, we don't care."
Berkeley City Councilmember Kriss Worthington said the residents of Berkeley are kind to the homeless.
"The people of Berkeley are probably No.1 in the country in tolerance and understanding of homeless people," Worthington said. "They have been used to seeing homeless people, talking to homeless people."
Michael Stoops, executive director of National Coalition for the Homeless, said the title "mean city" is not for the residents, but for the city itself.
"We're not calling the people of Berkeley mean: we're talking about governmental actions," Stoops said. "The governmental entities, ranging from the city council to the police department are mean."
Although the city should not be labeled as "mean," some of its policies have been problematic for homeless people, said Boona Cheema, executive director of Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency.
"Historically, Berkeley has been known for attempting to pass anti-panhandling, sitting, blocking the sidewalks, smoking-a lot of different kinds of laws," Cheema said. "For us to pretend that we're not a city that hasn't been doing that, it's just not true."
Although people in Berkeley are fairly friendly to the homeless, many people ignore them, said Jim, a homeless man who usually resides at the intersection of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street.
"A lot of people won't even respond," he said. "They don't even think I exist."

Tesla Will Showcase Full Self Driving Computer on Monday
Tesla will showcase the full self-driving computer (FSD) on Monday and will provide test drives of Tesla's that are using the FSD computer.
Tesla Autonomy Investor Day is on Monday, April 22, 2019. They will showcase the new Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. They will discuss a road map of future elements and the timetable for true driverless capabilities.
On April 22, Investor Autonomy Day, Tesla will free investors from the tyranny of having to drive their own car
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 13, 2019
Navigant has released a ranking of self-driving development companies that places Tesla near the bottom of the rankings.
The Tesla Full Self Driving Chip should enable a Tesla to process 2000 image frames per second.
It will improve all Autopilot features. Up to a 10x improvement in image processing will allow the car to react 10x faster. Musk says it will have ~400% improvement over the current version.
Full self-driving option is required with the Tesla designed hardware 3 computer. This is a simple plug in replacement for the NVidia computer, but has over 10X the image processing ability.

Past movie reviews from YSViewpoint.com
For Colored Girls written for the screen, produced and directed by Tyler Perry
Years ago a friend recommended I read For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange. Never having read the original, I recently watched the movie For Colored Girls based on it (thanks m).
This movie is amazing. It succeeds in showing the pain and suffering that black women and girls undergo. So often people can't see suffering and instead blame the victim. It is refreshing to hear/see some truth. It also shows the disaster that befalls the men who cause the suffering. No one escapes. Phylicia Rashad does a fine turn as the good woman answering the desperate question; how is one to survive in the face of it all?
Women are vulnerable when they freely give out kindness and caring -
and some men enjoy misogyny. I wished the movie had
answered the other question of how do we stop the horribleness period. The answer to this has got to begin with understanding
that people are often
hurt badly by others and
For Colored Girls is a big help on this point.
This movie is R-rated and contains disturbing violence. Older teens could perhaps see it and discuss how they feel about the violence and what they can do.
review................week of Feb.7th
My Name is Khan directed by Karan Johar
This 2010 movie is from Bollywood but doesn't fit the subtype at all (there was only one dance scene). Shahrukh Khan is the star and succeeds in the portrayal of an autistic hero. The story is mostly that of prejudice and what it means for all of us, yet the movie is better without spoiling more details. The cinematography was just lovely even on a TV screen. In English with subtitles in a small portion.
Suitable for almost everyone although students below 5th grade may have trouble understanding the themes or be disturbed by the depictions of disaster and violence.
a review.......
James Cameron's AVATAR
This movie is a compelling epic about how people become stronger and wiser through struggling to conquer challenges. A dedicated Marine finds himself in totally unfamiliar surroundings as part of a detail charged with protecting people from Earth while they exploit the resources of a distant planet (Pandora). Although it seems related to comic books or video games the movie is fully endowed with characters and situations drawn from reality. We all journey through life and this story resonates with what's inside us (who doesn't encounter demons in their dreams?).
The indigenous people on Pandora are like us but improved. They have larger bodies, bigger eyes, are better listeners, and are light years ahead of us in sensing and communication. Even so, the Na'vi live in a 'natural' state in close harmony with the plants and animals of Pandora. Men and women share power among the indigenous and the power of community is strong for them. In contrast, the newly arrived Earth people are nearly totally dependent on their machines and follow a hierarchical form of government.
Trying hard to get to know the locals, the Marine soon finds himself mightily confused about which is the right side of
the conflict. This is no surprise since those charged with a protection role are actually murderous and those labeled savages are not at all. He says the problem with not understanding a situation correctly is that '...sooner or later you have to wake up'. The inevitable conflict over who controls the planet is wrenching.
We too have difficulty dealing with the heartless as they thrash around causing harm to many, using greed or politics as an excuse for their actions. One of the advantages the Na'vi have is their ability to really see each other so that they can identify which of the Earth people can help them. Another big assist is that the Na'vi have a deity that gives them signs to point out the way to go. We are mostly unskilled 'babies" at seeing each other clearly, and because we fail to recognize those that are heartless or even the heroe(ine)s that could lead the way, we often fail in our attempts to improve life here on earth. This movie schooled me with its artificial world: we have to see correctly who is causing harm to the group/world and we need to see correctly who has the qualities needed to vanquish the instigators of the harm. The absolute necessity of seeing well is because we have to participate, one person can start a difficult task but they won't finish it without help.
See the movie for yourself, millions already have done so. However the theme and the violence is not suitable for young children even with the G rating.
Living Downstream - a review
About 75 people gathered on Saturday October 23rd to watch this movie based on the book by Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D. The movie was sobering to watch but very well thought out. It points out that cancer and chronic diseases are on the rise in the USA and we know that exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment can play a role in causing such illnesses. Yet diseases often take a long time to develop and individuals have different sensitivity to toxic chemicals due of genetic variation and l variation in habits, intake and elimination, age, etc. As pointed out in the movie, not everyone will be sickened when toxic chemicals are present in the environment but some will be.
Dr. Steingraber says it is a bad idea to gamble with our exposure to toxic chemicals, hoping that we will be one of those spared from illness. No one of us alone is wise enough to avoid exposure to toxic chemicals and even if you could then your neighbors and family and friends would still be at risk. This issue impacts everyone. She asserts it is a violation of our rights to have toxic chemicals to enter anyone's home through air or water. The federal act that regulates toxic chemical use and disposal has not changed since 1976. The Safer Chemical Healthy Families organization (link corrected) is conducting a national effort to revise this act in order to make it a better fit to the current era.
In our own area, the EPA has found that we have too much manganese (Mn) in our drinking water. The EPA's position paper on manganese (Mn) is somewhat murky. Although Mn is a required nutritional element for people, too much Mn inhaled by factory workers causes an illness called manganism. This illness includes tremors, Parkinsonism, excitation of movement later followed by decreased movement. Miners exposed to Mn dusts exhibit a variety of symptoms including weakness, anorexia, apathy, impotence, leg cramps, headache, speech disturbances, psychosis, pneumoconiosis, encephalitis-like syndrome and Parkinson-like syndrome. However scary the occupational hazards above, the data about Mn taken in by mouth is contradictory about whether disease can be caused by an oral excess. In the face of this uncertainty, the EPA set a Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) for Mn in drinking water of 0.05 mg/l because this avoids off taste and staining produced by Mn and they predict this level will avoid causing disease. The World Health Organization allows a higher level for Mn (0.5 mg/l) in drinking water. The water produced by the YS water treatment plant contains 0.15 mg/l of Mn which is above the SMCL set by the EPA. According to the EPA at Mn level >0.1 mg/l in water there will be poor taste and staining while black precipitate can form on pipes at Mn levels of 0.02 mg/l.
It is likely that individual intake of Mn is highly variable among villagers because Mn tends to precipitate into sediments (such sludge is present in our water system), diet alters absorption of Mn particularly iron and calcium, and some homes have filters that reduce Mn. It should be noted that levels of Mn (and other metals) can be measured in people if an overexposure is suspected and that Village Council has described filters that homeowners can install to decrease Mn at home.
Mn is very common in the earth's surface. Mn compounds are used in industry particularly in the manufacture of iron and steel, in fertilizers, and in paint/varnish. Industrial wastes can be responsible for elevations of Mn in subsoil and water over normal amounts. Our village well field is downhill from an aluminum and iron foundry and the water pipeline to the village passes their landfill while crossing the plant's property. Storm sewers from the village cross the plant site on their way to the Little Miami River. (To see the area travel south on the bike path to find the plant on the right and the well field on the left to the southeast.) In the past, the industrial plant was required to treat ground water to remove chemical contaminants (volatile organic compounds such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane* and 1,1,-dichloroethane*) before groundwater left the plant site. A request to declare the treatment goal attained was approved in December of 2008 and the treatment halted in January of 2009.
Dr. Steingraber says that citizens cannot wait for proof of harm (because it is endlessly debatable) but should just admit we know that toxic chemicals are harmful when they contaminate water and air. We cannot depend on the EPA to fully protect us because they believe that toxic chemicals can be present in acceptable amounts considered too small to cause disease - another point of endless contention. There are still contaminants in the ground water at the plant site and the issue for the Ohio EPA to decide in December 2010 is about whether the amounts are small enough to allow.
The underground aquifer beneath the Little Miami River is of great value to the Village of Yellow Springs because it has a high volume of water and drains two forested parks. It is possible to remove more Mn at the water treatment plant (although remodeling would be required), yet the finished water must still cross the plant site afterwards. This is significant because the water table on the plain beside the landfill is sometimes very high - approximately at 7 ft below the surface (as reported in monitoring wells in January) and the pipes were laid in 1962.
Our village government is discussing a change to purchased water for the village in the future. Also a sewer connection is to be built soon from the plant to the Yellow Springs sewage treatment plant. These may be the best options for us. Drinking water and sewage treatment are two of the most important issues for a municipality and the village needs to get moving on the water issue. Yet, discontinuing the use of a well field of this stature needs information so that villagers can be involved. There seem to be many questions (right) and it is hard to know what is best without more info.
*these compounds have been found to cause damage to the liver, lungs, kidneys and nervous system in animal testing and one of them is considered a carcinogen.
Unanswered Questions:
Why did the EPA issue the SMCL for manganese in 2004 yet just this year decide that our water is in violation?
Why did the Ohio EPA reduce the frequency of testing for volatile organic compounds in the well field water from annually to every 3 years?
Why did the annual water quality report stop reporting the level of 1,1-dichloroethane in well #1? The village manager stated that well #1 has not been used for several years, what is the relationship between testing and use?
Testing is the water user's friend, why is there a disconcerting vibe that testing isn't wanted (see above)?
Why are there inconsistencies between the Attainment (of full remediation) Plan and the Yellow Springs Wellfield Protection Plan?
Could the landfill be removed entirely from the plant site to go along with the termination of the plant's outdated sewer plant?
Is there any way to move the well field away from the plant or to reroute the pipeline?
What are the consequences of discontinuing the use of the well field?
Will the plant resume operations once connected to the Yellow Springs sewer plant (and after testing of well water at the YS well field is ended by the switch to purchased water)?
Will the village use the well field in any way after a switch to purchased water? Will they sell water to the industrial plant if it reopens?
How much in taxes will be paid to the Village of Yellow Springs if the plant reopens?
1,1,1 -trichloroethane can no longer be manufactured for use in the USA. What chemicals would be used by the plant to operate if it reopens?
How much of the chemicals in the plant's waste water can be removed by our sewage treatment plant?
Will any chemicals exit the sewer plant and be sent into the Yellow Springs Creek (flows into the Little Miami River)?
Will there be any consequences for the Xenia well field that is further downstream?

Greetings in the Moon-day, the White day of the Moon ...
First of all ... let me excuse if Books are not released for a while ... but I dedicate (not lose) about 4 Months only to organize Information of 2017 books (where I began to adopt the Duodecimal Math, or Math base Dozenal (12) not base Decimal (10). According to this Math Books Printed or Digital sum the number 1000 in Dozenal which is 1728 + 201 in Dozenal is 289 in Decimal ... Therefore we have (1201)12=(2017)10 Sources of Information organized in two Perspectives for the book @WhyEinsteinTheoryisWrong ... where Hardcover offers all (1201)12=(2017)10 ... and Paperback Edition offers 124 Bibliographies ordered by Author (Actors Primary and Secondary and Heavenly) and Audios.
Before 2008, Future Technologies directions were Software and Open Source ... but was the Saint Germain on Alchemy book ... Here Our Last Edition ... that inspire the Shakespeare Studies and therefore improve English ... the Walk Deep in Bible and World's Religions Studies ... extend Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry from Elementary to High. (You can browse the first three books that compose second edition for free here: 1+2 and 3) ... You can take up to ten years to begin to digest these High Concepts.
In fact, was the Salt of Saint Germain book to finally propose to release ... "The Book of Apocalypse explained ...") ... This is Volume 2 ... we release 1 in Spanish Language and Volume 4 ... to improve understanding about the Past ... Volume 3 was not published.
In fact, Saint Germain say about the Book of Revelation ...
Therefore ... to have a Book ... like is the Book of Revelation in 22 Chapters ... that embrace the entire Cosmos ... Sound "very interesting" to a Seeker of Truth ... like I AM.
Also the popular Millionaire Movie ... "The Passion of Christ" expose ... "The concept of Comforter" ... many forget.
We can read in John 14 ... King James Bible (edited by Francis Bacon, who wrote the Shakespearean Plays ...)
In my book ... both English or Italian ...
A "Perfect" Guide is exposed for these times ... This do not means ... that effort has been translated in Benevolent Currency ... Nay!
Still if you got some book ... this do not means ... you Money arrive to my hands ... Nay!
However, we are here not to talk about me ... but about ... "This Comforter".
... From the days I take to write and compose English Edition released in 2009 ... to then translate, update and expand ... including the first moments where Master Jesus meet Mary Magdalene ... a Sacred Priestess (concept nonexistent in Modern days ... All Priest are Male) ... I dedicate Words ... to explain Who wrote that Book ... or who was John of Patmos.
The answer I propose ... was "John the Beloved" ... and only him between all the Apostles ascend to God ... like did Mother Mary, 2000 years ago.
In fact, Peter El Moria, return like King Arthur between others ... Paul return like Saint Hilarion ... and all were married ... like few of you know.
Now, there are another Point which is important ... but not Science, nor Religions can explain or consider ... while is real ... very real.
And the Fact is ... not only Reincarnation ... but Multiple Identities or different faces for the same Soul.
In fact, recently Master Jesus said .. "John the Baptist will remain with you forever ..." Therefore, the John who anticipate his Words was according to Modern Hebrew Scholars or Fathers of the Church ... different faces ... but not different Souls.
They were the same and are the same ... The same John.
Going a little more High ... The Buddha was Maitreya, Lord Maitreya ... and is not different to be considered Lord Jesus or Mohammad or Krishna. In Honest Words ... Maitreya go to India ... and was Buddha Śākyamuni as well the previous one Samedha ... and Lord Jesus, called also Sananda go to Israel and Arabia ... He was Jeshua and Mohammad ... before he was King David and Moses too. Humm ...
If you ask me who is the Father of them ... Maitreya and Jesus ... well the Father is Archangel Gabriel ... and there are some people representing Maitreya here in the World ...
But let us return to the "Comforter" ... In fact, Buddhism awaits the return of Maitreya ... but Lord Maitreya (the Holy) visit Earth ... help people in Yemen ... in Physical and depart ... also in other places. Therefore from the Buddhist point of view ... The Comforter is the New Maitreya ... the same is valid for all Religions ... like Hebrew awaits the Savoir or Lion of Judah ... or Muslim awaits the return of Mohammad. Still Mohammad and Jesus have the same root ... which was Abraham.
Again ... let us return to the "Comforter" from the perspective of the Book of Revelation ... The Little Book ... as well ...
The Gospel of the Little Book Open
From the days I wrote the First and Second Editions ... I, Giovanni (John, Juan, Johannes ...) have improved slowly my understanding ... By example ... The Lion that open the Book ... was Serapis Bey ... Who was between others King Leonidas of Sparta as well Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
Sanat Kumara who is the Eagle before the Throne is one reinforcement ... Of Course Saint Germain, Lord Meru and Jesus ... but also ... The Cosmic Clock ... which propose many answers if well studied ...
And John the Beloved ... confirm he was the one whom wrote the Book ... he talk about an Angel and that Angel is Jophiel ... and he propose ... "The Geometry of the City Foursquare" ...
(Click to enlarge ...)
... In fact as proposed in the Picture ... John ... John The Beloved explains ... we can resolve ... the 22/33 x 100 = 66.66 % of Our Karma ... if conveniently studied ...
... Happy reading ...
I, John (Giovanni) give to you his Words ... once again.
Dr. Giovanni A. Orlando.
And I, John, beheld a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.1 I stand upon the mount of attainment and I behold there the glory of the transfiguration, the glory of the law of love fulfilled in the Master Presence. I stand upon the mount of your own being. I stand level with your own I AM Presence and I behold the glory of the new day. I see how God will cycle, line by line, the geometry of the City Foursquare2 from your own I AM Presence into manifestation as the base of the pyramid of life.
I come in the fullness of love, a love which he passed to me as I kept the flame of the Holy Spirit and of the Comforter that should come among the disciples.3 And as we beheld him make that final walk to Bethany's hill, our hearts throbbed with a great cosmic pulse, with a nearness of the I AM Presence ready to receive the Son of God as when the dove of the Spirit descended in the hour of the baptism and in the hour of the transfiguration and the voice of God was heard, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased."4
So we who communed in love also heard the call to Home, the eternal homing that echoes from the heart of the I AM Presence as the soul prepares to enter the spiral of the new birth even as it descended in the birth canal to be born again in the heart of Matter. So the new birth at the hour of the ascension is a moment of glory for all who watch and wait for the reappearing of the Christ and his descent out of the fiery core of being. Therefore, the Lord God does preserve the coming and the going of the manifestation of God.
Those two men in white apparel who announced the return of Jesus the Christ in the same manner as we had seen him go,5 were ascended masters who came also to tutor us in the way of the ascension, to tell us of a future yet unborn, to tell us of a life to be lived triumphantly in another two-thousand-year cycle. And these witnesses of Almighty God tarried with the disciples, extending the Comforter and the flame; and they spoke of the age of Pisces and the travail of mankind aborning in the womb of the Divine Mother and that period of preparation following the conceptualization of the Christ in Jesus.
Conceived then he him. Our God conceived the Christ as the Real Image of every child that should be born of the Divine Mother; and therefore as the two thousand years have rolled, so comes the Cosmic Virgin as the Woman crowned with the Sun and the moon under her feet, clothed with that sun in all of righteousness and splendor and crowned with the crown of twelve stars.6 So comes the Divine Mother welcomed by mankind, for mankind yearn for the touch of the motherhood of God. And thus Christed ones come forth in this the hour of the birth of all who have been receiving identity in the womb of time and space.
Now is the hour for the Christ appearing! Now is the hour to acknowledge the Christ in mankind. And so they foretold the day when mankind would come into the fusion of the Mother and recognize the common source and the common divinity and feel that flow of Mother love that should reunite all here below in the energies of Father through the conception of the Christ. We see then how the cycles roll; and we saw then through their ascended master consciousness that the foundation which we laid as the foundation of the City Foursquare would one day be fulfilled by sons and daughters of God who would come of age, who would seize the torch and be those lively stones in the city of our God.7 This was the foundation and the promise of the millennium. This was that which was vouchsafed to us as we stood there witnessing to the immaculate rebirth that is the ascension in the light for everyone.
How our hearts rejoiced! And we remembered his words "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem."8 And so we tarried there, waiting upon the God consciousness to infuse us with the mission. And when it came as the Holy Spirit and each one received the calling to go forth to give testimony of the Word and the example of Jesus Christ in every land, so we felt that flame. And as we were compelled to go forth throughout Asia Minor and the Far and Near East and eventually throughout the world in succeeding incarnations, so that same flame of fire, compelling us to preach the Word and to witness to the Word, we knew as the fire which we greeted in the heart of all who would listen to the message, the good news of the rebirth of the Christ.
"How can a man be born again?" So Nicodemus asked. "Should he enter his mother's womb?"9 Yes! Indeed, these are the things of the kingdom of heaven. These are the mysteries—how the soul can enter into the womb of the Cosmic Virgin and find there nourishment and life and understanding, preparation for the mission. This is the comfort of the Holy Spirit. This is the good news brought forth in the Church Universal and Triumphant. It is the news of the Cosmic Virgin, of the Mother of All Life, giving birth to sons and daughters. In this is the culmination of the Comforter—that all mankind are born of the Cosmic Virgin, immaculately conceived in the center of the Logos. In this good news is the wiping away of the stain of sin and the good news of Christ, the conqueror in you. There is so much to bring to mankind of joy and peace and so much of the discipline of the law and the science and the mathematics of the Word. There is so much to be applied.
The hour is indeed heavy as the fallen ones make their way to the judgment hall. And now it is their turn to be lined up as sheep for the slaughter. It is their turn to know the judgment of the great Judge of Life; for this is the cycling and the recycling of ages. As the vast cycles roll, so know, mankind, that the prophecy of the binding of the wicked and the fallen ones is fulfilled in part as some have been brought to judgment at the Court of the Sacred Fire—as it is written, before the Four and Twenty Elders.10
And I remember well when the angel of the Lord came to me on the isle of Patmos and I received the message of Jesus Christ to be sealed and signified by that angel, to remain untouched through these two thousand years.11 And therefore the authority of the Christ and of the Logos did seal that revelation as two-thirds of the initiatory spiral of the thirty-three. And in the twenty-two chapters of this proclamation of the Word, you will find the key for the transmutation of two-thirds of your own karma and of the balance of energies and of your debts to life. Listen well and hear well as you read the Holy Book, and see how you can perceive therein the unwinding of the coils of identity and the moving of energy into the flame cycle by cycle; for therein is contained the entire subconscious of the race.
Understand, then, how that collective subconscious must come to the fore, must come there to the moment of the appearing where the subconscious becomes the conscious. And therefore, to slay the dragon and the beast and the beast that riseth up out of the sea and the beast that cometh up out of the earth, the false prophet, the great whore, and the fallen ones and all these identities of the carnal mind,12 you must understand that the moment that they appear on the world scene, the moment that they appear from subconscious depths of your own psyche, you must stand as the victor, as the Christ, taking the sword of the one who comes with those eyes as pools of fire, one like unto the Son of God, your own Christed Self, and slay the action of the misuse of the sacred fire.
The sword is the sacred sword, the sacred Word. It must go forth. As the fire proceeds out of the mouth of the two witnesses and the sword comes out of the one who champions the cause of righteousness, so let the sword coming forth from the mouth of the Christ symbolize that which cleaves asunder the real from the unreal by the fiat of the Lord, by the power of the spoken Word manifest in you.13
This is my message for those who would bring forth the foundation of the New Jerusalem that is already laid in Christ Jesus14—to understand the microcosm and the Macrocosm, the fulfillment in you of the law of each, and your responsibility to prove where you are, the conquering Spirit of the Lord Christ. See then how these initiations are revealed chapter by chapter, and ask yourself: "Have I made invocation to the law of my being this day to release the fire of God for the consuming of the last plagues of my own karma, for the consuming of all manner of deception and betrayal and of Babylon the Great and of Antichrist and of all that has gone against the fulfillment of the promise?"15
And for those of you who pass the tests line by line, verse by verse, of that which is recorded in the Book of Revelation, there is prepared for you the revelation of the mysteries whereby you can overcome the remaining third of your karma. The goal of life for total victory is wide open! And you are invited by the Lord of hosts this day to balance 100 percent of your karma, to return to God as victors and champions proving the law of righteousness, proving the balance of harmony as that harmony equals, line by line, the mastery of the feminine ray and of the white-fire core of being. See then how God has already marked clearly within you and in akasha and in prophecy the path of salvation.
Now I say, let the interpretation of that book go forth from the pen of the Mother of the Flame that Sons and Daughters of Dominion might have that release and that understanding! And I have given the key this day; and into her hand is that key secured to put it in the door and to turn the key, to unlock the door, to see there the risen Christ who proclaims, "I AM the open door which no man can shut!"16 This is the promise and the glory to those who are laboring in the fields of the Lord, those of you who toil and serve and love not your lives unto the death.17
I speak to every disciple of Christ who shall hear or read my words in all time and space. To you I affirm this day that your reward is secure in light and in the teaching. These are they which have the testimony of Jesus Christ. These are they which have the revelation of the revelations of God. These are they which receive the interpretation by the Lord's Spirit of every word that he spoke and every word that is written. So let it be that you weary not in well doing.18
I open now your eyes that you might see how each task fulfilled, each sacrifice made for God and flame and country and community and planetary body and all life everywhere, has an immediate reward as fire springs forth in your own causal body. But as the testing of the ten is given, so this is shielded from your eyes that your reward might be in well doing and not in the promise of any other thing. Therefore "by grace are ye saved; not of yourselves; it is the gift of God."19 Therefore, continue ye in my word and work the works of God;20 and see how effort made here below becomes a magnet of central sun also here below magnetizing the glory of the ascension, magnetizing to you the akashic records of Bethany's hill so that you might stand in the footprints of the master and feel the impetus as a springboard springing from beneath your feet.
And in that moment of the return, you will feel the fiery momentum of the Son of God and all of those works worked in the law of being magnetizing grace for fulfillment in the law of love. And you will see how Mother, as the fiery core of earth, releases energy from the center of being to propel you into the arms of the Father. This is the push-pull action of the Holy Spirit. So then, receive the boost of the flame of the Cosmic Virgin! Receive the pull of the Father as all of heaven stands this day to magnetize your hearts to fulfillment.
I AM John. I loved him as the person of Christ. I loved his being, his consciousness, his soul. I loved his flame; I love him still. And my love for the person of Jesus I transfer to all mankind. I love the body of Christ. I love the blood as essence of Spirit coursing through the veins of humanity. I release that love from my retreat in the etheric plane over your state of Arizona. I release that love to give hope to America, hope to the world, and to restore peace with honor, integrity, morality, and a divine economy.
I come bearing books in my arms, and those of you who can see will note that my arms are filled with the tomes of the law. And you will see that they are ancient manuscripts, their binding worn; and you will see how I carry from my retreat those books which must be written that the true law of life might be set forth, that these laws might be revealed to the citizens of the new age and to all who inhabit the City Foursquare and all who come to the Church Universal and Triumphant. So are these tomes delivered into the hands of the Christ of the Mother, that they might be written and set forth as sacred scripture for the new age.
And now behold and look up, O ye sons and daughters of the true Church! And see how the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha, stands before you with Jesus the Christ. And hand in hand they come for the fusion of East and West and for the paths of initiation that lead unto the materialization of the God flame and unto the spiritualization of Mater. As above, so below, let paths of East and West converge in the new Church for the fiery caduceus that all mankind might be one in the flame of Christos!
Let none be denied the Sacred Communion! Let none be denied the bread and the wine! Let all who come to receive, to be fed of the Good Shepherd, also know that Buddha and Christ upon the hill merge in the transfiguring grace of the Christ consciousness of the heart, the God consciousness of the crown, and so together point the way to divinity for all mankind. Let all then receive that Sacred Communion. Let it be given forth for the balancing, for the receiving, of the Alpha and the Omega. Let none be denied, and let all recognize the true Church as that place where Communicants may receive these gifts of Spirit and of Mater.
So as I received the flame of the Comforter, another who came after me, also called John, the beloved of Christ, did fulfill the dispensation of that Church of Jesus. And therefore Pope John XXIII does seal your communion as your hearts are fired in purity and raised up as that pearl of great price,21 as the gift of noble selfhood unto humanity. And the sealing of the messenger and the sealing of the disciples is the offering of the love of John this day. We are one in love, and the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood now merges in the flame of your own God Presence to prove here and now this day that our God is a consuming fire and that the Lord of Israel, of all that is real in you, is one Lord.22
I greet you in the flame of the early Christians and in the light of the caduceus which they marked by the sign of the fish. So let that be the sign of the appearing of the Father-Mother God within all. I AM the will to do, to be, to love, and to serve the Christ and the Buddha within you. Won't you accept me into your heart this day and forevermore, that I might love him in you, through you, unto eternity? I AM John, loving all life free as the Christ.
"The Summit Lighthouse Sheds Its Radiance o'er All the World to Manifest as Pearls of Wisdom."
This dictation by John the Beloved was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Sunday, May 4, 1975 in Westwood, California.

In V3, this wasn't a problem because all the classes required for verification were available to transactions via the system class loader, even if they were not attached to the transaction itself. Whilst this is not the intended way for Corda to work, no-one ran into any issues because all the classes were available via the system class loader. This worked even for CorDapp dependencies where the states-and-contracts.jar depended upon a class in another jar.
In Corda V4, there is a different scheme for class loading classes required for transaction verification: the attachment class loader. All classes needed for verifying the transaction are required to be on the class path of the attachments class loader. This is possible for V4 transactions because if needed developers can just manually add the jars via TransactionBuilder.addAttachment.
However, when V3 transactions were created, the old class loading rules applied so it's unlikely that developers actually added all the jars to their transactions manually. As such, it is highly likely that if CorDapp developers have arranged their states-and-contracts jar such that it depends on classes in another jar, then transactions using the states-and-contracts jar cannot be verified in Corda V4 due to the depended upon classes in the other jar being missing.
We cannot retrospectively add the required attachments to the transactions as they are immutable. Therefore, the platform needs some means to load classes available in the cordapp class loader to fill the missing gaps for the attachment class loader. has more info!

Total revenue earned from RFID transponders, readers, software and services will amount to more than $5.6 billion in 2009, according to the latest market data from ABI Research.
"The recession has had an undeniable effect on deployment plans," said Practice Director Michael Liard, "but despite some project deferrals and terminations, there will be market growth, albeit fragmented."
The RFID market continues to be worthy of cautious optimism in the near to mid-term, particularly in the closely-watched passive UHF segment.
"Although the RFID market faces economic challenges, ABI Research would not characterize it as being in a state of despair or turmoil," Liard said. "We do not anticipate near-term market contraction based on economic conditions; however, anticipated growth rates may not be as robust as in previous years.
"In fact. many industry participants contacted by ABI Research feel current conditions are challenging but may only represent a small bump in overall RFID adoption. However, there is a sense that vendor performance and end-user activity during Q1 and Q2 2009 will be critical bellwethers for overall near-term RFID market growth within traditional and modernizing applications."
ABI Research believes that under current conditions RFID technology is best positioned as a cost-saving solution among enterprise users. As a result, RFID vendors and their channel partners must play a more proactive role in communicating the value proposition and total cost of ownership of RFID during these tough economic times and beyond.
The firm cautions that the impact of wider economic forces is often not immediate, however, and expects to be in a better position to gauge how the economy is really impacting near-term RFID adoption and spending in the second half of 2009.

"I am excited to have him here, and to build up our national staff. We share similar training philosophies. Ahad brings some new ideas and some new training methods. He works well with our guys and has developed a great repertoire with the athletes. I look forward to working with him," said Lindland.
A native of Iran who was a two-time Olympic Greco-Roman athlete for Iran, Javansalehi brings international experience as an athlete and coach, along with a background in coaching here in the United States.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped me have this privilege. I feel very blessed to be part of the USA Wrestling family. I am hoping that all of us put hand-to-hand together to make USA Greco-Roman wrestling one of the best programs in the world. I believe from the bottom of my heart that we can make that happen. We have some great talents who need to be on an organized and disciplined schedule. I see a bright future for USA Greco-Roman," said Javansalehi.
Javansalehi served as an official U.S. Greco-Roman World Team Coach in 2014, helping lead the U.S. team which placed 12th and included World bronze medalist Andy Bisek. He comes to USA Wrestling after serving as a respected volunteer coach in USA Wrestling's National Coaching pool in recent years.
Javansalehi was a member of the 2013 U.S. Greco-Roman World Team staff. He was a coach for the 2014 Greco-Roman World Cup team which competed in Tehran, Iran, and also coached at the 2014 Granma Cup in Cuba. He also has been among the staff coaches at the U.S. Greco-Roman World Team Training Camps for the last three years.
He has been an active coach on the local levels in both Salt Lake City, Utah and in Portland, Ore. During his years in Oregon, he has been an assistant coach at Douglas High School, Forest Grove High School, Hillsboro High School and Liberty High School, as well as at Pacific University. Javansalehi also helped coach with the Cobra USA club in the late 1990s.
He was a successful international Greco-Roman wrestler in Iran before moving to the United States. He competed in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games, and won four Asian Championships or Asian Games medals, including a gold medal at the 1992 Asian Championships. He also was a four-time college national Greco-Roman champion for Tabriz University in Iran, where he started the program and was an athlete and coach.

Hard-binding Esc is conceivable, I have no opinion on this.Removing dir select buttons: Careful. What you remove from the UI, the new player will not try. People will not read manuals. Level designers get crazy about making their own skill tutorials (unnecessary, skills are in the panel, tutorial pack exist for skill subtleties that level designers can miss anyway) but haven't/won't make directional select tutorials (with good reason, it's the job of the engine to explain it). Also people won't play tutorials; people play packs, and not every pack has that; if every pack had that, people would skip it. Lix has tooltips for dir select whenever two opposing lixes are under the cursor, but I haven't user-tested those tooltips.Splat ruler should get a button?
Again I point out that many games nowadays features so-called hotkeys and no buttons. Pressing keys without any kind of visual button the screen is very common.
another idea on 'removing' a button is to place the release rate change function up to overtop of entrances (this is how Revolution worked--you left or right clicked the entrances and the number appeared temporarily above it). That would free up one more space.
- Vertically stacking some of the existing buttons (Directional select would be the first target)
Directional select is already vertically stacked.
what about vertically stacking the RR buttons as well?
At this point, I feel very strongly against the following:[...]- Vertical-stacking the release rate button (the only logical way to do this, that still displays all information currently displayed, gives an ~8x7 pixels pre-zoom area each for - and +)

HULL CITY MIDFIELDER Ryan Mason is in a "stable condition" in hospital following an operation on a fractured skull, his club said after a sickening clash of heads with Chelsea's Gary Cahill.
The pair collided 14 minutes into Premier League leaders Chelsea's eventual 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Medical staff from both clubs sprinted out to attend to the two players, with referee Neil Swarbrick halting play for more than five minutes while on-field treatment was administered.
But while central defender Cahill returned to his feet and indeed scored Chelsea's second goal with a header as he completed the match, the unfortunate Mason left the field on a stretcher while receiving oxygen before being taken to the nearby St Mary's Hospital in west London.
Several hours after the final whistle a Hull statement said: "The club can confirm that Ryan Mason sustained a skull fracture in our fixture at Chelsea this afternoon.
"He was taken to St Mary's Hospital where he has undergone surgery.
"Ryan is in a stable condition and is expected to remain in hospital for the next few days.
Everyone at the club would like to express their sincere thanks for the excellent and swift care given to Ryan by both the Accident and Emergency department and Neurosurgery Unit at St Mary's Hospital."
A further statement issued today added that the young midfielder was conscious and had been speaking about the incident following surgery.
"Ryan and his family have been extremely touched by the overwhelming support," the statement read.
"They would very much like to thank all of those who have posted such positive comments both on social media and in the press over the last 24 hours.
Ryan has been speaking of the incident yesterday and will continue to be monitored at the hospital over the coming days where the club will remain in close contact with Ryan, his family and the staff at St Mary's."
Immediately after the match Marco Silva, the manager of second-bottom Hull, said he hoped Mason had avoided a serious injury.
Ryan Mason at this moment is staying in the hospital. I don't know more news about this," Silva said.
"I hope nothing special, nothing serious, but at this moment the player stays in hospital."
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte said all those connected with the London club hoped Mason enjoyed a speedy recovery.
"Everyone at Chelsea wants to wish for him the best," he said.
It was a bad accident with Gary and, I must be honest, after the first half also Gary wasn't really good. He decided to continue the game.
"It was very bad this accident. Everyone at Chelsea, we hope to see him very soon on the pitch and to recover very soon."

That Sad Feeling When a Book is Finished
4 comments:
My daughter and I just recently read My Father's Dragon. Believe it or not, I had never read it. I loved it. I need to purchase the other two books in the series. It will definitely become a yearly read-aloud in my room. Have you read Cynthia Rylant's Lighthouse Family series? They're really good. They're well-written but short. Have a great week!ReplyDelete
Laughter and ConsistencyReplies
I'll have to try the Lighthouse Family series! I've got a bunch of kiddos that need to start working on chapter books, have the reading ability, but not the attention span. That sounds like it could be just the tool to get them moving in the right direction! I find if I read one in a series to the class, those books become quite popular real fast!Delete
I read this series of book every year to my second graders!ReplyDelete

Fire Arrow Bubble or Directional Lineblast Bubble is one of the special bubbles or Power Bubbles in Bubble Witch 3 Saga. It was first introduced in Level 61, the first level in the 5th episode Feline Fjord.
What it doesEdit
- Hit the Fire Arrow to shoot it in its current direction.
- The Directional Lineblast contains an arrow and when you hit the Directional Lineblast with a bubble, it will destroy all bubbles in a straight line, depending on which direction the arrow is pointing. The direction the arrow is pointing will change after each turn, rotating in a clockwise direction through its various positions - so be on the lookout for tactical opportunities.

WVU Cycling Club Cyclocross Series Race #1
Story by Scott Zwizanski, photos by Marty Lamp
[Coverage] [Pic Set 1] [Pic Set 2] [Results]
|EJ Sigety cruisin' to a win
The day started of with the C-category racers racing 7 laps around the
White Park course. 22 year old Nathan Ferguson came away with
the victory. As the B race started there was some frozen
precipitation falling, but that didn't stop a three man group from
riding away from the field. Collin Fridley, Kevin Leyh
and the C race winner Nathan Ferguson battled neck and neck much of
the 9 lap race. In the end it was Fridley and Leyh pulling away from
Ferguson. At the finish WVU cycling club's Collin Fridely was edged
out by 17 year old Kevin Leyh for the win.
|Eleanore Randolph having some fun at White Park
The West Virginia cycling club would like to thank Jeff Berryman of Boparc for allowing the use of the park, The Morgantown Utility Board for opening the gates, Pathfinder of Morgantown for us of radios and one fine tent, to Kim Stearns for doctorial support, and to iPlayOutside.com for covering the race. Hope to see everyone at race number 2 in November.
