A garden and a brick structure uncovered at the Dahshour Necropolis have changed views of the functions of a pyramid complex, writes Nevine El-Aref
In the parched desert of the Dahshour Royal Necropolis, the southernmost area of the Memphis Necropolis, a number of pyramids are revealing the changes in ancient Egyptian architecture that occurred during the Third and Fourth Dynasties, with step pyramids giving way to the first true pyramids.
There is the Bent Pyramid, the first attempt at building a complete pyramid carried out by the Fourth Dynasty king Senefru, who took pyramid construction to a new level. There is also the Red Pyramid, the first truly smooth-sided pyramid.
Several kings of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties also built pyramids at Dahshour, among them Amenemhat II, Sesostris III, and Amenemhat III, who built a pyramid encased in black stone.
A military zone until 1996, the site remained untouched for many years, except for excavations carried out by Egyptologist Ahmed Fakhri in the 1950s, and later by German Egyptologist Reiner Stadelmann. Although several tombs and funerary structures were unearthed, Dahshour still retains many of the secrets of the ancient Egyptians.
The site recently attracted the attention of a mission from the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo, which started comprehensive excavation work in 2010. The work was concentrated in the area north of the Valley Temple of the Bent Pyramid, previously explored by Fakhri, who stumbled upon a brick building that he dated to the Middle Kingdom.
Stadelmann later thought it could be a magazine or vestry of the Valley Temple. The brick structure was then reburied in sand.
In 2012, a re-examination of the site using a magnetometric survey showed that the building was actually older than the Bent Pyramid Valley Temple and its remains more extensive than previously thought.
"The major aim of the project was to investigate this earlier building in its entirety and gain as much archaeological evidence as possible on its original layout, date and function as well as having a better understanding of the whole landscape of this area especially after a recent magnetic survey detected a settlement with orthogonal streets," project field director Felix Arnold told the Weekly.
After removing 15 cm of sand, excavators not only rediscovered Fakhri's brick structure but also found the remains of an extensive garden which once featured more than 350 plants arranged in long parallel rows enclosed within a five-metre thick wall.
The garden site is spread along the area inside the enclosure wall, and its west side includes four rows of 26 tree pits, which range from between 2.2 to 2.4 m in size with diameters ranging from between 50 to 100 cm. An irrigation channel that once watered the roots of the plants was also discovered around the pits.
In most cases, Arnold said, the space between the pits was covered by a thin layer of earth, allowing smaller plants to grow. Only in one segment was the earth limited to narrow strips, possibly serving as flower pits. Additional rows of tree pits were arranged along the east side of the enclosure, though apparently more densely spaced, while another two rows were found on the northern side. An area of 150 m in the core of the enclosure wall was left free of plants.
"A few remains of plant roots are clearly visible," Arnold said, adding that the remains revealed that the whole garden was once planted with palm trees, sycamores and cypress trees.
"This is the first time we have found a cypress tree in Egypt," Arnold said, adding that it could have been imported from Syria. He said that studies have suggested that all the trees were planted as adult plants, meaning that they were planted somewhere else and later transported to Dahshour at one or two years old.
"It seems at first that the trees used to grow in the garden, as we can see the roots going into the sand. But regretfully this did not last long," he said, saying that the growing process had lasted for just a few years.
The ancient Egyptians must have brought water in pots to irrigate the plants in pits every day or every week as the water of the Nile was not extended to Dahshour. "There could have been more rain at that time, but never enough to irrigate a whole garden," Arnold said. The site would have been filled with workers busy building the Bent Pyramid, so it would have been very possible to bring extra water, he added.
Arnold explained that the field excavations revealed that the ground level of the garden was not entirely horizontal as its southern part was more than one metre higher than the northern side. On this elevated ground, Arnold said, a brick building was constructed, part of which was discovered by Fakhri.
Very little of the building is preserved, only the traces of the foundations. It was constructed directly on the natural surface of the desert, in the north on stone and in the south on a compact layer of sand. The building turns out to have been surrounded by a massive, rectangular five-metre-thick enclosure wall running 80.5 m from north to south and 55.8 m from east to west.
"Walls of these dimensions were only made for a king, and they are known from the so-called funerary enclosures of the Early Dynastic Period at Abydos, as well as from the city temples of the Old Kingdom, such as at Bubastis," Arnold said.
He said that the mission has not yet unearthed any entrance for the building, but that early studies suggest the existence of at least two gates, one near the south end of the east side and the second in the centre of the south side.
The southern part of the building consists of three entrance rooms, and its northern part has a courtyard. The main entrance lies at the southern end of the east side and was set into the back of a shallow niche. Behind the door, the direction of the entrance was bent twice, leading through a passage into a columned hall. Along the foot of the walls of the rooms deep pits were found.
"They possibly served as emplacements for offering vessels," Arnold suggested, adding that a third squared room with a depression in its middle was located to the west side of the hall and it could have served as a space for washing or ritual purification.
"During its period of use the building was refurbished and reformed," Arnold said, adding that a wing of rooms was added to the west, giving the building a square ground plan. The extension occupied an area formerly occupied by part of the garden, the plants now being covered by the floor of the building. In a third stage, the new wing was subdivided into at least two spaces and an entrance added at the south end of the west side.
Additions were also made in the area surrounding the building, he said. A building was constructed adjacent to the enclosure wall, and another smaller structure was built into the southwest corner of the enclosure, but the northern half of the enclosure remained free of buildings.
Traces of a gypsum floor were found, indicating that it was used as a courtyard. "The purpose of the enclosure and the structures in its interior remains unclear," Arnold said, adding that it was not a chapel or a palace or a regular temple. There are three theories about its original use, as it was built during the life of the king and used during his lifetime and not after his death, like the Valley Temple of his Pyramid Complex.
Due to the age of the root remains of the trees, Arnold said that the building could have been used for just five years. "It was a temporary structure," he concluded.
The first theory, the best one, says that the structure could have been a temple where special festivals or ceremonies for a living king were held and not for eternity like in the Valley Temple. "It could have been a place to celebrate the renewal of the king, for example," Arnold said.
The second theory says that the complex is a direct predecessor of the limestone Valley Temple built later in its vicinity, though its ground plan does not share any features with the temple, such as the wing of entrance rooms in the south and the courtyard in the north.
The third theory is that the building was a temple for the cult of the king with a garden, but missing the features of a regular temple as it was constructed entirely out of brick. No chapel has been found or any kinds of stelae, statues or false doors.
It cannot be ruled out that the king was present in the building as a living person, rather than as a statue. In this sense the structure could have been related in purpose and meaning to the funerary enclosures of the First and Second Dynasty at Abydos or the sacred enclosures familiar from depictions of burial rituals.
"The brick building can be dated to the middle of the reign of king Senefru," Arnold told the Weekly, adding that it could have been erected at the time that work started on the Bent Pyramid in the eighth year of Senefru's reign. The building could thus have been used until the Valley Temple was erected in the 15th year of Senefru's reign.
The construction of the Valley Temple respected the location of the brick building, and the earlier structures do not seem to have been used after the temple was completed. Most of the brick walls are covered with the building debris of the temple. The thick enclosure wall was later entirely removed and replaced by a new, much thinner wall. The new enclosure wall did encompass most of the space formally occupied by the brick enclosure, however.
The garden was also extended to the north along the slope of a low hill. Two additional rows of plants were added. In several cases the roots of bushes have been preserved in this part of the garden. How much of the original garden remained in use is unclear. In some areas, plants were added later, sometimes replacing earlier ones.
"It is a very important discovery that could change ideas of the function of the Pyramid Complex, especially the Valley Temple," Arnold told the Weekly.
While the specific function and meaning of the structure remains unclear, he said the building adds a new facet to our knowledge and understanding of the origins of pyramid temples at the beginning of the Old Kingdom and the purposes behind their construction.
"Though possibly related to other building types of the period, the structure in its design, and especially in its extensive integration of plants, is something new and so far unique," Arnold said.
"Buildings of a similar kind may indeed have existed in the vicinity of the valley temples of other pyramid complexes, but no one has yet unearthed one."

text: Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, Neal Gabler Response Topics: Genetics, Television, Gregor Mendel Pages: 2 (581 words) Published: April 15, 2013 Neal Gabler attacks entertainment and argues that its effect will eventually "involve our country in ruin," and although that is somewhat correct, entertainment is also a vital piece in the growth of society. There are many different aspects and parts to a society; we cannot attribute one thing, such as entertainment, to its destruction. What Gabler fails to do is define entertainment. What may be considered entertaining for Taylor Swift may have been considered boring by Albert Einstein. And what may be fun for Nicki Minaj may have been considered a waste of time by Gregor Mendel. Different people seek different forms of entertainment, although throughout any form, as with anything in life, there is an upside and a downside. Music can be relaxing and soothing; but play it too loud and it harms your hearing. Watch the History channel and learn a thing or two, or watch Jersey Shore and become influenced by their outlandish behavior. Whatever a person's entertainment choice, whether it be watching TV, working out, and listening to music, or going out with friends, having drinks, and gambling, entertainment only becomes destructive once an individual is on the verge of addiction. A person eating a piece of cake now and then doesn't make them unhealthy but eating a few pieces on a regular basis may lead to obesity. Our society simply needs to know the right choices to make. "Should I sit in front of the television all day?" Or, "should I watch some TV and read a book afterward?" Everything can be destructive without self-control. Teenagers, whose generation is becoming more and more immersed in technology, should ask themselves these questions and know to choose the healthier option, because watching TV all day can be more harmful than a man that has a drink or two but knows his limits. Entertainment does not "ruin" society but is an important piece in its growth. We work hard all day and turn to entertainment to relax and relieve stress. Without it we would be...

It's no secret that coffee is already one of the superfoods, because of its powerful antioxidant properties that help to prevent some diseases, but the main reason why most of us drink coffee it is because it gives our body the alertness it needed, and not because of its health benefits.
Well, you might agree and disagree with that, but sad to say most of us coffee drinkers only slurps coffee for the energy boost. However, despite the energy coffee can give us that a lot of times some of us take advantage of it and drink more than the suggested cup of coffee per day. We must keep in mind that too much is unhealthy, and there is a positive and negative side effect of drinking coffee.
Let's see the positive side effects of coffee apart from giving the energy boost.
1. Coffee is a good source of antioxidant that can help to prevent cancer and heart disease and other diseases. Antioxidant in coffee is a lot powerful than wine, chocolate or tea.
2. Coffee is always associated to be a preventive measure to some diseases like diabetes and heart disease and can lower cholesterol this is because of coffees' high level of soluble fiber that helps to lower LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol, which lead into reducing the risk of heart disease, and helps to control blood sugar level in people with diabetes. Coffee has an excellent amount of soluble dietary fiber that is much potent to wine and orange juice.
3. Recent studies have shown the correlation between coffee and mental performance. One study has attested that regular coffee consumption of one to two cups a day scored higher on short-term memory recall, spatial ability, logic tests, and general IQ testing.
4. Drinking coffee is also linked to weight loss whereas the caffeine in coffee improves your metabolism and gives ample energy. In fitness diets, coffee is always included in the meal plan or even use as meal replacements like the "bulletproof coffee."
Back in the days' people were satisfied with a single serving of coffee that is why people get the full benefits of it. However, over the years people discovered the powerful effects of coffee on the body and coffee drinkers started to increase their consumption for more than two cups per day.
The increase in coffee consumption per day for an individual is what made the negative side effects of coffee.
Drinking above the prescribe cups of coffee a day gives a bad side-effect in the body. Here are things that you may develop when drinking too much coffee.
1. Yes, coffee is a natural stimulant that is why everybody loves it because coffee gives us the boost that we needed for the day. However, excessive drinking of coffee can wreak havoc on the sleeping schedule you might develop jitters and discomfort.
If you are having a hard time sleeping or develop the jittery side effects of coffee, you might want to lessen your coffee consumption. So if you are having three cups per day try to reduce into one to two cups a day, and avoid drinking in the afternoon or before going to bed for you not to perplex your sleeping pattern.
2. Most of the time we drink our coffee first thing in the morning and we often experience the sour, bitter taste like after drinking it. Coffee aficionados often describe this feeling as "coffeegasm," or the bright feeling brought on by consuming terrific coffee.
Always keep in mind that coffee contains high acid levels, especially the type of beans like Kenya and Ethiopian roast. Because of its high level of acid, this explains the stomach discomfort or what so-called "coffee tummy" or "coffee gut" we often experience in the morning especially when you drink too much coffee on an empty stomach.
If you are suffering from ulcer, frequently experiencing stomach discomfort, have Gastroesophageal reflux disease, and having trouble when drinking coffee, try switching to water, herbal teas or drinking milk with your coffee.
3. One of the prominent side effects of drinking coffee is teeth staining which is not aesthetically pleasing. Teeth stating
"Tooth enamel contains microscopic pits and ridges that can hold particles of food and drink. Pigments from dark-colored drinks such as coffee, tea, and soda can become embedded in those cracks and ridges and, if the proper steps are not taken, can cause permanent, yellowing stains on your teeth." — Colgate
You can lessen the stain by following a bottle of water after drinking coffee, and of course, frequently brush your teeth for at least two to three times a day.
SEE: The Health Benefits Of Coffee: Is Coffee Good Or Bad For You?
Coffee is a magical drink that boosts our metabolism, give alertness, and excitement for every cup. Although we know the benefits of coffee and its caffeine content, most of us are still ignorant how coffee truly affects our body.
Always keep in mind to drink your coffee in moderation, and do not go beyond the prescribed daily dose of coffee which are two to three cups per day.

Summer 2016 kicks off in grand Disney/Marvel fashion when Captain America: Civil War debuts next Friday. It is the first weekend of May's only wide release, as no other studio would dare try counter programming against this surefire juggernaut. This is the third entry in the Captain America franchise, but it is essentially a third Avengers feature as Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, Paul Rudd's Ant-Man, Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Don Cheadle's War Machine, Anthony Mackie's Falcon, Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch, and the debuts of Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther and Tom Holland's Spider-Man all join Chris Evans' Cap for this extravaganza. Sebastian Shaw, William Hurt, and Daniel Bruhl also appear. Essentially, only Thor and Hulk are missing here.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a multi-billion dollar bonanza for Disney and Marvel Studios. This 13th picture in the MCU has been greeted with terrific buzz and trailers and its critical response stands at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some critics have gone as far to call it the best MCU movie thus far and this has led to expectations for its opening being understandably sky-high.
How high are we talking? Civil War seems primed to have at least the fifth largest domestic debut of all time. To do so, it would need to top Iron Man 3 and its $174 million opening and $175M seems to be on the lower end of expectations. The current #4 record belongs to summer 2015's first flick, Avengers: Age of Ultron, which made $191 million. #3 is the original Avengers at $207 million with last summer's Jurassic World second at $208 million.
The only record I don't see this competing for is the big daddy – Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $247 million in December. I believe Civil War, with buzz hotter than Ultron, will manage have a larger start and I really wouldn't be surprised if it does indeed top $200 million. I'm going to peg it at just below what 2012's Avengers accomplished to make it the second largest MCU debut and fourth highest all-time opening.
Captain America: Civil War opening weekend prediction: $205.6 million

As companies send more and more email, marketers and designers are on the hunt for tools to help reduce the time between campaign brainstorm and completed send. One of the most time-consuming aspects of email marketing has always been coding and testing campaigns.
While pre-coded email templates can save time during the development process, how can email designers code campaigns more efficiently from scratch? One way is to write less code with the help of a tool called Emmet.
Emmet is a free add-on for your text editor that allows you to type shortcuts that are then expanded into full pieces of code. By using Emmet, email designers type less, saving both keystrokes and time when building a campaign. Also, relying on Emmet's autocompletion means fewer typos and missing tags, leading to more robust emails.

Protected Places – Insights from Artist Ingunn Joergensen
"I don't think I will ever grow tired of these structures," says Joergensen. "It's the idea of protecting the crop, the herd, the lively hood, and in that the future of those who rely on it. To me, that is love in its purest form."
Local Women, Local Art, Local Love – Summer Show
Celebrating the allure and charm of southern Maine, the talented trio of Margaret Gerding, Julie Houck, and Ingunn Joergensen are taking over Shows on Maine Art Hill at 10 Chase Hill Road in Kennebunk. Doors open June 29 at 10 am. There is also an Artist Reception to follow that evening from 5-7.
Discovering the Landscape – Insights from Artist Ingunn Joergensen
"In this show I have explored different landscapes, a subject matter I have not visited in a while," says Joergensen. "I could not entirely let go of my passion for barns, however. For me, they are more of a shelter or a homestead safely rooted or grounded. They have a sense of belonging to something deeper, and it was important to include them."
A Little Local Color – Bigbee, Joergensen and LeCours, A Three Artist Show
Capturing and celebrating the colors of Maine is one of the prime desires of a New England artist. It is both a skill and a talent artists Claire Bigbee, Ingunn Joergensen and John LeCours share. This talented trio is featured for three weeks at Shows on Maine Art Hill opening September 1. The artists will attend an opening reception at 10 Chase Hill on Saturday, September 1 from 5 – 7 PM. When three artists together are group together, there needs to be a sense of cohesiveness, a thread that weaves through and connects. For this show, it is color.
Cape Porpoise Morning – Ingunn Milla Joergensen, Artist Choice
There is also an added benefit to having an artist who also lives here. This benefit looks much like Cape Porpoise Morning, Joergensen's Artist Choice piece for the show this year. To be able to share a piece of the place you call home in your home is truly a special treat.
Ingunn Joergensen – A New Artist at The Gallery on Maine Art Hill
The beauty of the Maine landscape, the constantly changing elements, and the ocean are a never-ending source of inspiration for all of Joergensen's art and design work. "It is the little things that catch my attention, a piece, a fragment, a texture, a thought, a word. Sometimes taking it all in is so much, it is almost overwhelming," Ingunn shares. "One little shell tells the story of the ocean. A piece of wood tells the story of lived life. Beauty is found in the most unexpected places."

Innovative staff and students are collaborating in America to help LiPs
Published 24/08/2018
We examine two programs developed by American universities that enable students to devise innovative solutions to problems faced by LiPs and we advocate for the pursuit of a similar approach in the UK.
Two American law schools have introduced impressive programs that enable students to better understand the problems of the civil justice system and especially to aid LiPs (or 'pro se litigants' as they are referred to in America). These are the 'Innovation for Justice' (I4J) program at the University of Arizona and the 'LawX' legal design lab launched by Brigham Young University. The development of these institutions and their projects could yield valuable lessons on how to assist LiPs in our own jurisdiction.
Particularly remarkable is the hands on orientation of these programs. Students are not just made educated on justice-related issues but are placed in the position of being real-world problem solvers, addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by the legal system and, crucially, doing so with an inter-disciplinary focus. The work LawX has done on alleviating Utah's debt collection crisis is already indicative of just how fruitful this approach can be. The lab designed 'SoloSuit' - "an automated software that guides debt
collection defendants through the answer process" - in response to worrying numbers of LiPs (98%) and defaults (over 80%) in these kinds of cases. SoloSuit was used by over 600 people in the first 6 months and provides a free and accessible alternative for those who cannot afford to hire an attorney (filing a lawsuit would cost $250 regardless of the size of the debt being collected). This is an excellent example of the kind of legal design activity that also constitutes an expanding area in the UK and the LIPN is able to offer several opportunities for organisations that want to develop a legal design approach.
It is also encouraging to see the two institutions are currently collaborating on a common project to tackle another pressing LiP issue. Namely, a state of affairs where less than 20% of the tenants served with eviction notices in Pima County, of which about 95-99% are LiPs, actually appear in court. Delivering a solution to this problem will involve the students of
the I4J program observing eviction processes and talking to tenants and landlords before considering the kinds of resources they and their LawX partners could develop in response. While we must still wait to see how this particular project pans out, it seems certain that we could learn a great deal from the innovative and collaborative ethos that some American law schools are displaying in tackling LiP issues. In particular, it would be encouraging to see more universities establishing similar programs where students can develop the practical skills that are crucial to addressing LiP and access to justice problems.
If you are an organisation seeking to form similarly beneficial relationships with universities and other institutions please do contact us by email (email@example.com) or phone (020 7092 3977) and we can put you in touch.

We all make mistakes at work, and serious errors can get us into trouble. Indeed, as per the case of Adesokan v Sainsbury's Supermarkets that a single incident of negligence can – if serious enough – lead to summary dismissal.
So, how would you deal with an employee who had a very important role to play at a televised public event and – for example – handed a movie star the wrong envelope? Would you regard such a high profile and embarrassing error as so serious that you would see no alternative but to dismiss? Or would you take a more lenient view and consider, what with one thing and another, that the employee had suffered enough?.
We don't know how PwC will deal with the rather high profile debacle that its employees were involved in at the Oscars – although the initial finding that the proper protocols 'were not observed' does not seem to bode well for the employees concerned. Employment law in California is of course very different from employment law in the UK, but in either location a mistake that attracts so much public attention and leads to so much damaging publicity is likely to be somewhat 'career-limiting'.

My name is Steve and I purchased a EarthX lithium ion motorcycle battery for my 2003 Kawasaki ZR7S at the NYC International Motorcycle show in January of 2013. In October I put my bike in my shed and as you know the weather in New England was impossible. I did not have it on a charger. It just sat for 5 months. Last week I took the bike out and your battery did the job, The bike started right away!
I was totally pleased.
Yesterday I was up early, only 35 degrees! Time for heat! This in the past was a problem because the battery would first have to recharge before I would get heat. Not with the new EarthX, full power to start and full power to heat! No battery tender for me (I don't have electricity in my shed).
Thank you,
Steve- Kawasaki ZR7S

Hausdorff Forum July 14, 2017 - 14:15
Location: Lipschitz-Saal, Endenicher Allee 60
The previously announced lecture held by Rüdiger Schultz has been cancelled.
14:15 Jens Vygen (Uni Bonn): Resource Sharing, Routing, Chip-Design
Chip design is one of the most fascinating application areas of mathematics. After a brief overview we focus on routing, a key problem. The task is to interconnect millions of sets of pins by disjoint wires. This is difficult because
(a) instance sizes are huge (graphs with billions of vertices),
(b) resources such as space and propagation time are very limited, and
(c) even the simplest special cases are NP-hard.
We show how to model routing by a very abstract problem, known as min-max resource sharing. This includes a novel way of modeling timing constraints. We present a simple combinatorial fully polynomial approximation scheme which is both faster and more general than previous algorithms. We implemented the algorithm and solve huge instances nearly optimally. The overall router is far superior to commercial routing tools and has been used for designing many of the most challenging chips.

John 20:1, 2 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said," They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"
Prayer: Lord Jesus, we remember that by the power of God no tomb could keep you as its prisoner.
Thought for the day: Jesus' faith in God even on the cross was rewarded when he arose from the grave.
Matthew 2: 11 On coming to the house they [the magi] saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, from the time of your birth you were destined to give your life as a sacrifice for the salvation of the world.
Thought for the day: Myrrh and aloes were combined for a rich perfume for weddings and burials. (See Psalm 45:8)
John 19: 38, 39 Later, Joseph of Aramathea asked Pilate of the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, like Joseph and Nicodemus we long to honor you in all things.
Thought for the day: If you want to honor Jesus, honor his disciples in their hour of need.
Matthew 27:59, 60 Joseph took the the body, wrapped in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, may you be our guide when we must take the last journey to the grave
Thought for the day: The songwriter said, "Man of Sorrows, what a name for the Son of God who came, ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah, what a savior."
John 20: 19, 20 On the evening of the first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus cam e and stood among them and said," Peace be with you!" After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, we have heard the testimony of your disciples, and we believe you arose.
Thought for the day: No one better than the disciples could have been found to verify that it was Jesus who arose from the dead.
I Corinthians 15: 48, 49 As was the earthly ma so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
Thought for the day: Lord Jesus, you were raised to live forever more.
Thought for the day: When the new plant appears, the gardener does not wish to have the seed back.
I Peter 1: 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Prayer: Lord God, in Jesus you have given us a hope beyond this world.
Thought for the day: Behind the darkest storm clouds there is a sun that shines.

As Theresa May signs the letter that will formally begin the UK's departure from the European Union, Duncan Marson, Lecturer in Tourism and Spa, discusses the impact it will have on the tourism industry both in the UK and abroad.
There has been a significant amount of uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the impact leaving the EU will have, and the tourism industry is no different. The nature of this uncertainty has spread like the proverbial wildfire across a wide array of industry intent on knowing the specifics of how it will impact upon the nature of trade, investment and employment.
Tourism is one such area where this ambiguity stretches across both supply and demand; from the agents and operators promoting holidays across the world, to the destinations (both here and abroad) relying on the British market, through to the tourists with their intention of understanding the impact on their much-valued holiday time.
Tourism is a resilient beast when considering the variety of external factors which impact upon global success and how quickly it can respond to negative changes in demand. So, what are the changes being discussed most within the industry, and do they have an impact upon ourselves as consumers?
Impact on the inbound market (international tourists to the UK):
For the industry, a key question is what will be the short and long term impact on the inbound markets (those coming to the UK). According to VisitBritain statistics for 2015, the inbound market was worth £19 billion in international receipts alone from 31.8 million trips taken, so there is an inevitable trepidation regarding the direct and indirect impact of a fall in visits.
This is not just the preserve of the UK. Take, if you will, the recent 'Trump Slump' phenomena highlighted in the US media warning of international tourist markets being put off the recent travel restrictions imposed there. Also of note here is the prospective induced impact, and all those suppliers who provide for firms who flourish with the help of international inbound tourists.
Along with this, consider a statistic proposed by ABTA that London, for example, has a 70% dependency rate currently on migrant employment in travel and tourism (a large proportion of these are from the EU).
Some of these sectors in tourism are classified as 'hard to fill', requiring employment from outside the UK (when considering current employment levels in the UK and skills shortages). These too will inevitably impact to a greater or lesser extent on the cost of staying in the UK for a holiday.
Impact on the outbound market: What it means for us as travellers?
The surface has only been scratched regarding these and the potential it will have, but already patterns in the discussion for UK holiday makers are starting to emerge. These are some of the choice discussions:
Exchange rates:
The short term prediction is that UK travellers going abroad will not receive the 'value for money' we have been accustomed to in previous years. The recommendation from consumer groups is to plan ahead when considering your budget for a holiday aboard this summer.
This requires shopping around for the best deal when exchanging the British Pound (and consider other options than buying currency at the airport) and understanding fees charged if you use a card abroad. This also means that other destinations may come into play for a larger UK tourist market (Mexico is nice this time of year). Also consider the importance of the all-inclusive holiday as a method of managing your budget when abroad.
Free movement and visas:
For Europe, at least, this will be a key discussion post Article 50. While the government is stating that EU citizens will need a work visa in future to work in the UK (with preference being given to certain sectors like high-tech), the perspective for UK travellers is that they may need one to enter Europe. This will inevitably lead to added cost and more time processing.
Current rumblings from the European Parliament suggest that the EU is considering an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) which is akin to the US model. Regarding Ireland, the line is that the government intends to continue with the common travel area post-Brexit, meaning little impact to travel between the two nations.
Airfares, bilateral agreements and UK flights:
One of the key reasons for success of low cost carriers such as Easyjet, was the unrestricted access to the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA). This has provided destinations throughout Europe with an opportunity to take advantage of a market like the UK.
While this is not the utopian vision of tourism development anticipated, it did provide emerging destinations such as Croatia as a more attractive proposition to airlines (at least initially). What this means when the UK finally leaves the EU is unknown, although there are options. In short, the UK could continue to follow the ECCA, which means nothing much will initially change for ourselves as jetsetters throughout Europe.
The UK would have little impact on policy and regulation in the European Aviation sector however, so it may wish to enter into a separate agreement with the EU or generate a raft of bilateral agreements with European nations. Both these two options are lengthy, and could result in an increase in fares.
Duty Free:
Recent reports in the media suggest that exit from the EU, and more specifically from the European single market, would mean that duty free shopping would be fundamental business opportunity for both the UK and European travel retail sectors.
So, in essence, while your bottle of French or Italian wine may rise in price at the supermarket, we may see the rebirth of duty free shopping. The other distinctively British tradition, the 'booze cruise' may also suffer depending on the change in allowances allowed to be brought back into the UK.
The European Health Insurance card scheme:
Murmurings suggest that it will be difficult for the UK to continue in this scheme without paying a cost to the EU. As a result travel insurance will become more of a focus, with a potential rise in insurance premiums.
So, in conclusion, while the nature of Brexit will undoubtedly cause an anxious outlook in some quarters of the tourism industry, travel for the purposes of leisure, recreation, adventure, landscape, relaxation, insight, culture, history, family, continue to grow in demand.
The rich variety of experiences both here and abroad fuel our desire as travellers to use our hard earned money and holiday time regardless of current issues.

I'm frequently asked to look at a website and
evaluate it for usability, SEO, and social media optimization (SMO). At
times, I'm asked, "What should I fix first?" Below are the five most
important things that can usually be done by novices to optimize a site
for both the search engines and social media sites.
1) Write good page titles: These titles, which are shown at the top of
your browser, are the most important thing you easily control when
optimizing a site. Even if you're using an online "fill in the blank"
template program, you can usually control the names of the pages. Just
putting the name of your business isn't enough. You need to have
targeted keywords in that title. For example, if you're selling widgets
with a company called "Widgettes", and your customer base is mostly in
the Albequerque, New Mexico area, don't make the front page title
"Widgettes, Inc.". Instead, try "Albequerque, New Mexico Widgets, from
Widgettes, Inc." Also, make the title different for each page and make
it reflect what's on the page.
2) Maintain your website: You'd be surprised how many people overlook
this one. Some search engines will lower your ranking for things like
broken links or images. More importantly it looks bad for the people
who do find your site. You should check your site every few days to
make sure nothing is falling apart. You do that with your house or your
office building (I hope). You should do it with your virtual storefront
3) Blog (the verb AND the noun): Blogs are painfully easy to build
these days. If someone is building your site for you, ask him or her to
set one up. If you're doing your own site, check with your host. I use
GoDaddy, which makes it extremely easy to install Wordpress. The most
important things about blogging are to do it frequently, and give
people quality content. Three posts a week should be your goal. If
you're selling widgets, why not talk about a novel use for a widget or
even how to select the right one? If you do that, they may link to your
blog, and links are the ultimate goal. Additionally, if you see an
interesting article that someone else wrote about widgets, post it on
your blog and give the author credit. One last point — if you're
creating a blog for link building, don't use free services like
Blogger. If someone links to your blog on Blogger, it only helps
Blogger's search engine ranking. If the blog is on YOUR site, the link
helps you.
4) Build links: I mentioned this above, but I'll say it again: Link
building should be your top goal. Search engines look at links as
recommendations. If your site has enough recommendations from other
relevant sites, then you'll be rewarded with higher search engine
rankings. There are a lot of ways to build links. Not many of them are
easy, but not many of them require you to be an expert in search
engines. Building a blog and keeping it populated with quality content
is one way to build links. You might also contact a complimentary
business and suggest they use some of your blog content. Additionally,
get involved in the blogging community for your business, if there is
one. If people see your name on smart blog comments enough times, they
may consider you an expert. Additionally, when you post on other blogs,
use a signature that has your website address in it. In some cases,
that will count as a link back to your site. At the very least it might
get them to visit your site.
5) Submit articles and blog posts to social media sites: There are
literally dozens of different social bookmarking sites. My favorites
are Digg, Del.icio.us, Ma.gnolia, Reddit, and Stumbleupon. You can find
a great list and explanation of each in this article on the site
SEOmoz. Sites like these were created so people could list interesting
content and share it with others. So, obviously, it's a great place to
gather links and credibility if you have interesting content. Don't
spam these sites with every little announcement about a new employee or
whatever. Use it to spread your good content.

Do a chief executive officer's experiences as a child affect their company's profitability? And do a fund manager's early childhood experiences influence financial decision-making later in life?
Recently, two separate working papers explored the impacts of early childhood circumstances on a firm's profitability and a fund manager's risk taking.
A paper authored by the University of Chicago's M. Todd Henderson and Florida State University's Irena Hutton found firstborn CEOs, CEOs from families with higher socioeconomic resources and those with less childhood trauma prefer safer investment and leverage policies, leading to lower firm value. Of these three options, the paper found the effect of socioeconomic status was the strongest.
The researchers used publicly available documents and scraped news stories and CEO's biographies to code the information.
"We started out thinking mostly about birth order and then, as we dug into the CEO biographies and such, we realized we could mine a lot more of the richness of the data set we were building," says Henderson. "So we included socioeconomic status and family trauma and parents, jobs and things like that and that's how the project got started."
These findings can be relevant for board members who are choosing CEOs, he notes. "In addition to, 'Where did you go to college? What did you study? What's your work experience been?' boards should ask questions like, 'What did your mom or dad do for work? Were you rich or poor as a kid? Tell me your family history?'"
There could be different views to explain this, says Henderson. On one hand, someone who grew up well off may feel more comfortable taking risks because they have something to fall back on. Yet, on the other hand, someone who grew up better off may not have the same grit to work hard to afford a secure lifestyle as someone who had less money in their childhood.
The paper found evidence that the latter description is more likely than the former, he adds. ". . . When things are handed to you, you don't have to work as hard. You don't have to scrap. And I think a lot of being a risk-taking CEO is being scrappy and putting in the extra effort, and that extra effort is something that people are motivated to do amazingly based on things that happened to them five decades ago."
Another working paper, by André Betzer and Henrik Schürmann from the University of Wuppertal's Schumpeter School of Business and Economics, Peter Limbach from the University of Cologne and Centre for Financial Research and P. Raghavendra Rau from the University of Cambridge, explored how early family disruption influences risk-taking behaviour.
The paper used publicly available data to paint a picture of fund managers, looking at whether their parents died or divorced and then measured this against risk-taking.
Indeed, it found that those who experienced a death or divorce in early childhood take lower idiosyncratic, systematic and downside risk. More specifically, the paper found the effect is most pronounced for managers who experienced family disruption during their formative years and in cases of parental deaths when the surviving parent either had no new partner or had little social support.
People tend to assume human beings have tendencies trained out of them, so professional money managers shouldn't be strongly affected by personal characteristics, says Rau. "I think the big takeaway from our paper is that that's not true. . . . If you look at the medical literature, if you look at the neuroscience literature, it turns out that when you're growing up and you have a traumatic experience, it actually physically affects parts of your brain."
In addition to physical brain changes, there's also literature in psychology showing that, if someone loses their parents, they lose their most important secure base, and this matters when someone grows up and learns to take risk. "A very intuitive theory behind what we are doing is, if you lose your secure base early in your life, you find it harder to learn [to] take risks and to take risks, be wrong and get the courage to go on," says Limbach. "So besides this medical factor, I think there's also a psychological factor that explains our results."

Planning and organizing your own wedding is no easy task.
Surely it was an exciting moment when you got the marriage proposal. Life, however, is a long chain of such emotional moments and it depends on each person personally how he experiences them. Shortly after the engagement comes the stress of the wedding preparations. When planning a wedding, you have to reconcile much.
In the first place you have to consider your wishes and ideas of a successful wedding celebration, but also those of your partner and also of your parents and parents-in-law. Then you have to choose the location, have a wedding dress bought or made, organize the catering service, photographers and DJ and much more …. So, in short, let us help you the best! Keep your own strength for the very special event in your life, avoid all stress and let yourself be led by the anticipation of your wedding!
Just follow our tips and your wedding celebration is guaranteed to succeed!
- Let's get started! Where do you have to start planning at wedding?
It is clear to everyone, the wedding requires a proper and well thought-out organization. First, consider the course of the preparations and start with the most difficult things that are not your personal responsibility. For example, you should first of all determine the wedding location and only then think of its decoration. We advise you to create a checklist and to progress step by step from point to point. Because you need to think about many smaller and bigger things, you can rely on the help of your best friends or close relatives or hire a wedding agency to do the job. Be forewarned that things are not going well. Difficulties in planning and organization should not be disturbed by any means. They are only there to strengthen your will!
Young people can easily assert their ideas for a successful wedding plan.
- Your wishes are crucial at wedding planning
Unfortunately, finances also play at wedding planning and organizing a crucial role. Determine your budget and do not try to exceed its cap. Plan everything according to your own available finances and you will surely feel a true satisfaction of yourself. Here's the motto, everything homemade is more fun! Do not allow other family members to interfere in the planning and organization of your wedding celebration. That would be best. Because if something goes wrong at the party, you have to blame yourself. And that is a very important lesson for your future family life.
Do not forget the bridal bouquet!
An important point in planning every wedding is the guest list. You can decide for yourself who you want to invite to your wedding party. Our advice would be to send the invitations in time, as your friends, relatives and work colleagues also need some time to prepare for the wedding party. This is also a step towards a successful wedding party. Also left to you are questions such as choosing the bridal gown and the groom's outfit, buying wedding rings and preparing gifts for the wedding guests .
Without wedding rings no wedding can take place!
Our extra tip: Get ready for surprises! Of course we mean pleasant surprises! Sometimes bridal couples believe that they have thought everything through to the smallest detail, so that the wedding party should be exactly what they imagined. But that rarely happens. Your guests have certainly come up with something nice for you. Be prepared to respond to surprises. And do not lose your nerve if something does not meet your expectations. Small organizational errors or tiny bursters are usually part of every wedding celebration. But the most important thing is that you keep your good stimming and enjoy your very special day in life to the fullest.
Our editors wish you nice moments at wedding planning and good conversation at the wedding party!

- The Caribbean has its party
Every year, the Caribbean Festival is reinvented with new and attractive actions that continue consolidating it as a favorite event for santiagueros and visitors. For this edition of the Fiesta, a special artistic program has been designed that involves more than twenty stages, including outdoor and indoor. This will keep the city in constant floods of joy and fun. But the Festival will also extend beyond the historic city. That is why we will reach each community of the Santiago Arde project and extend, for the first time in thirty-eight years, to the Segundo Frente and Tercer Frente municipalities.
More than twenty-five countries will meet in Santiago de Cuba. Around eight hundred artists will bring diverse expressions of their culture and history. The Puerto Rican delegation is announcing they will bring more than two hundred participants, which will allow having a wide range of the cultural diversity of that country.
The Caribbean Festival has been recognized as the only time of the year in which the largest number of expressions of traditional popular culture meets in Cuba. According to this news, a large number of bearers and performers will be visiting us. Energy, drums and mysticism will be felt again in the Cuban capital of the Caribbean from July 3 to 9, 2018.

FCNL Condemns Senate Vote Confirming Gina Haspel for CIA
On May 17, 2018, the Senate voted 54-45 to approve the nomination of Gina Haspel as the next director of the CIA. This vote is a set-back for our country and a dangerous endorsement of torture.
Gina Haspel Confirmation:
Gina Haspel has been confirmed to lead the CIA. React to your senators' votes.Act Now
We want to thank 45 senators who voted against this nominee, as well as Senator John McCain (AZ), who opposed the nominee but was unable to cast a vote. In an indication of senators' concern about Gina Haspel's involvement in our country's torture program, this is the most opposition to a CIA Director nominee since 1951. Please write your senators to thank those who voted against this nominee and express your disappointment to those senators who supported Gina Haspel.
Although the CIA refused to release the full record of Gina Haspel's action relating to torture, public reports demonstrate that Ms. Haspel was deeply involved in the CIA's torture program, which started after the attacks on 9/11. In late 2002, Ms. Haspel ran a black site prison in Thailand where at least one terrorism suspect was waterboarded and subject to brutal interrogation techniques. She was also involved in destroying video evidence of these interrogations in 2005 despite knowing that White House legal counsel did not want the evidence destroyed.
As a Quaker organization, we believe torture is wrong. Always.
The Senate Intelligence Committee report on the use of torture after 9/11 condemned these programs in very clear terms. Although the government choose not to prosecute those involved in these programs, the Senate should not promote any individual who was as deeply involved in carrying out and covering up a program that was both immoral and illegal under international law.
During her confirmation hearing, and even in written responses she sent to senators after the hearing, Ms. Haspel was incapable of recognizing the immorality of the CIA's now defunct torture program. The United States cannot equivocate on torture. And yet this is what they have done today.
Please take a moment to write your senators and let them to know that you are disappointed that the Senate has confirmed Gina Haspel to be the next leader of the CIA. Torture is wrong. Always.

29 May 2019

Applicability of Employment Standards Act to collective agreements
Critical illness or injury leaves and domestic violence leave
Recovery of wages
Other notable changes
On 29 April 2019 the British Columbia government introduced Bill 8 – Employment Standards Amendment Act which, for the first time in more than 15 years, has introduced significant changes to the Employment Standards Act. This is the first of what is expected to be a two-part amendment process to the act.
Both substantive and administrative changes are being proposed to the act. For employers, the most significant amendments are:
Applicability of Employment Standards Act to collective agreements
Since 2002, large parts of the Employment Standards Act have not applied to collective agreements that contained provisions dealing with:
This is in contrast to the situation before 2002 where the act was inapplicable to collective agreements only if their provisions met or exceeded the requirements in the corresponding part of the act when considered together (the so-called 'meet or exceed' test).
Bill 8 essentially reverts to the pre-2002 regime. The Employment Standards Act will not apply to collective agreements which have terms that meet or exceed the requirements in the corresponding parts of the act.
Bill 8 delays the implementation of this new regime until the existing collective agreement expires. More specifically, employers need not address this until their current collective agreement expires and a new collective agreement is negotiated. As such, all employers must consider what to address in their next round of collective bargaining to satisfy this new law. For employers, having the Employment Standards Act apply as a minimum floor to their collective agreement is generally viewed as interference in their collective bargaining relationship.
As with the pre-2002 era, it will be within the jurisdiction of an arbitrator pursuant to the collective agreement to decide whether the specific provisions of the collective agreement, when considered together, meet or exceed the corresponding part of the Employment Standards Act. The pre-2002 experience is unattractive to employers. A number of lengthy and expensive hearings took place in this era as all applicable provisions in a collective agreement had to be examined as a whole and then compared to the applicable corresponding part of the act. This analysis included the negotiating history of all of the relevant sections of the applicable collective agreement.
Notably, the British Columbia Law Institute's comprehensive report on the Employment Standards Act and the many recommendations for change did not propose a change in this area. While the report addresses the pros and cons of making a collective agreement subject to large parts of the act, there was such a wide divergence of opinion among the task force that no recommendations were made. As such, it is surprising to see this significant amendment contained in Bill 8, which will potentially impact all of the collective bargaining relationships in the province.
Critical illness or injury leaves and domestic violence leave
Bill 8 provides for job-protected leave for those caring for a critically ill family member. Employees will be allowed to take up to 36 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a critically ill child and up to 16 weeks of unpaid leave to care for an adult. This has been tailored to align with federal employment insurance benefits.
Domestic violence leave provides up to 10 non-consecutive days of unpaid job-protected leave. In addition, employees will have a second option that provides up to 15 weeks of consecutive unpaid leave. The 10-day leave period can be taken in individual day blocks, while the 15-week period of unpaid leave can be taken in "one unit at a time" or more than this with the employer's consent.
Bill 8 extends the period for employees to recover owed wages from six to 12 months. There is a possibility of extending that to 24 months and it appears that the circumstances will be set out in the regulations. The British Columbia labour ministry backgrounder states that the extension to 24 months would be only "in cases involving wilful or severe contravention of the Act".
Child employment protections
In general, Bill 8 will raise the age that children can work from 12 to 16 years old. Exemptions are allowed for 14 and 15-year olds to perform light work that is safe for them (eg, stocking shelfs at a grocery store). According to the labour ministry backgrounder, Bill 8 also introduces provisions "to better protect the safety of 16 to 18-year-olds by putting tough restrictions on the type of hazardous work they can be asked to perform". Existing regulations that allow children to work in recorded and live entertainment with parental consent have been maintained.
Treatment of tips, gratuities and resignation
Bill 8 sets out a framework for regulating tips and tip pooling. It prohibits employers from:
While Bill 8 permits tip pooling, it specifies that employers may not share in the tip pool except where they perform the same work as some or all of the employees who share in the pool.
Under Bill 8, where an employee with at least three months' employment gives notice of resignation, if the employer wants that employee to leave earlier than the effective date of resignation, it must pay:
Administrative changes to employment standards branch
The self-help kit introduced in 2003 as a first step for employees trying to collect owed wages has been eliminated. There will now be no need to use the self-help kit before filing a complaint. Bill 8 sets out several new provisions to toughen enforcement. The director of employment standards must be proactive in investigating complaints and addressing individual complaints. The director must also investigate all complaints "accepted for resolution by the Branch". Further, Bill 8 gives the director the authority to waive or raise penalties. The director also can require employers to inform workers of their rights. Labour Minister Bains announced a C$14 million, three-year increase in the budget specifically for funding enforcement.
The proposed administrative and enforcement provisions contained in Bill 8 are not particularly contentious, nor are the changes to the child labour provisions.
The further unpaid leaves may cause employers to have scheduling and logistical problems and could increase staffing costs.
The changes to the period for which employees can recover owed wages will expand potential liability for employers.
Bill 8's 'meet or exceed' provisions are the most significant of the proposed changes, as all unionised employers will have to carefully scrutinise their collective agreements to ensure that the key components of their next collective agreement meet or exceed the corresponding parts of the Employment Standards Act.
Finally, this is the first of two Employment Standards Act amendment acts. Bill 8 is viewed by the British Columbia government as addressing the most pressing areas for change. The next amendment act will likely target:
It is unclear when the next amendment act will be tabled.

I witnessed some awesome performances today. Steve Peters, M63 ran a hundredth off the M60 WR in an astonishing 24.11. He is quite an individual. An Olympic track coach, psychiatrist, and a dominant masters sprinter. He was watching our race finish and said he 'couldn't believe it' ... 'shoulders and knees and heads bobbing all over the place...' a study in bad running form. Steve is a high knee lift runner, as opposed to me - a low knee lift / high turnover runner. He said that's why I run so well indoors. Gerhard new to M60, who I narrowly beat in Lyon, also ran his fastest 200m in years, 24.63.
|With Steve Peters
|With Bill Collins
Tomorrow is the 400m prelims, followed by a day off. After no shows and not including scratches, there are 44 competitors, and there will likely be more scratches. There are 5 semifinal heats and I drew lane one for my prelim. It looks like my biggest competition will come from the Australian champion who has run 54+, Corey - who took second at nationals, and both the Gold and Silver Medalists from the 400m hurdles. The big news is that the Brazilian who won Silver in Lyon is a no-show. I'm feeling OK, except for a sore groin. I think I've gotten out of the funk that I was in and I'm ready to run a 400m tomorrow. I just wish it weren't from lane one ... with a sore foot and a sore groin. There likely isn't anyone who will run under 58 in my heat, but you never know. I'll try and run it hard, because with a day off afterward, it would be good for me.

by Alexander M. Wolff
In the polemical essay "Digital Divide," published by Artforum in September 2012, art critic and professor Claire Bishop posed the question, "Whatever happened to digital art?" She states, "While many artists use digital technology, how many really confront the question of what it means to think, see, and filter affect through the digital?" In a subsequent response to critics, Bishop criticizes the field of new media art, claiming it also misses that point when it fixates "on the centrality of digital technology, rather than confronting it as a repertoire of practices … that increasingly lodges capitalism in the body."
When thinking about what truly has happened to "digital art" since the 1990s, it becomes clear that much of new media art is not merely technology for the sake of technology, and much of it has confronted our dependence on consumer technology. While countless Internet-based artists today are more than willing to cynically critique the hollowness of how we think, speak, and process our lives through commodified digital technology, very few are willing to hold convictions and create true confrontation, disruption, or politically-charged tensions between their work and oppressive power structures in society. In contrast to current trends in new media art, the politically engaged Internet-based work of 1990s artist collectives and the contemporary Angolan new media artist Nastio Mosquito show that creating a pressure between art, aesthetics, technology, society and politics is a project that needs to be resuscitated.

The Power of Positive Thinking
"As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities."
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
In 1952 Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote a short book that forever changed the way we think about personal development. It was called simply, "The Power of Positive Thinking" and in the years since then over 7 million people in 15 different languages have enjoyed it's simple message.
The Power of Positive Thinking helps us see the opportunities all around us, and gives us the courage to take action when the moments of truth arise.
It's a simple truth, but like all things with tremendous popularity controversy was sure to follow… Detractors came out of the woodwork, many of them never taking the time to understand the message of the book: "The Power of Positive Thinking isn't something magical or mystical, it doesn't mean to kid yourself or pretend that things are great when you know they aren't. It just means to stay focused on the positive and keep creating the life of your own dreams."
Let me give you an example of this truth, Dr. Richard Wiseman of the United Kingdom spent ten years researching the effects of Positive Thinking in the lives of over 400 test subjects. He didn't look for techniques or tactics, he just looked at what happened to people with a Positive Mental Attitude to see what the effects Being Positive had on their lives. What he discovered was simpler than anyone expected, Positive Thinkers see and seize opportunities at almost 30 times the rate of negative thinkers! His study lasted for over 12 years and the overall effects on these peoples lives was tremendous!
Success, Accomplishment, and Achievements all stem from action, Positive Thinking is not enough, it's the actions we take where the seeds of success are planted and nurtured… Day in and day out, one day after another, the results of our actions stack one on top of another and the Positive Thinkers wound up creating totally different lives than the negative thinkers. One small thought at a time, the results were astounding!.
The Positive Thinker
Now, it's easy to get lost in techniques, complicated methods, and elaborate systems but the truth is, it all comes down to this,
"The person with the Positive Mental Attitude transforms stress into grace and picks the path to a successful outcome while others get lost in the forest of obstacles and pitfalls."
This is the real Power of Positive Thinking, the power to make the most out of every situation and to take action while others stand still explaining why it can't be done…
This is what Monalle is here for, for you, the Positive Thinker who desires a safe haven to recharge, to refuel and reset your determination day after day. Monalle was created to bring you fresh Positivity in videos, inspiring people, empowering articles, uplifting stories, and brain building games always dedicated to making sure you have the tools to help you keep thinking positively day after day!
"If there is no fun in it, something is wrong…"
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
