Sexual assault is never about sex. Like mass shootings and domestic violence, even pedophilia, these acts are not about power — rather a set of behaviors linked to disordered individuals that at minimum need to be identified for treatment.
These acts are rooted in powerlessness, not power. Why?
1. Acts that exhibit an intent to violate another with disregard for their rights or agency are rooted in a pathological "neediness" for a false sense of power.
These acts are:
- Based on an addictive craving or lust for power over others that can never be satisfied.
- Rooted in intense fear related to powerlessness, inadequacy and rejection.
- Driven by a lust for a false sense of power, a godlike superiority over others.
- Attempts to numb the pain of powerless, a drug of choice, an addiction.
In contrast to individuals with a healthy sense of power, those with a pathological lust for power exhibit a neediness to subvert another's will to feel worthwhile. There is nothing "normal" (biologically) about one person intentionally tormenting and traumatizing another. What wounds and harms any person, or limit them from being a full human being, with rights to their own life and agency, can never be; based on how the mirror neurons in human brains work, in a relationship, what harms one, harms both.
Fair to say, money and means permit access to mass media, entertainment and pornography, among others, as top money making industries, have increasingly fostered the spread of messages and myths in the last few decades that normalize rape, assault, pedophilia, sadism, overall fostering a social milieu that promotes criminal acts.
2. Individuals that that derive pleasure from disregarding and violating others have a pathological need for power rooted in powerlessness.
Individuals with a healthy sense of power tend to value their relationships with key others, and thus make choices that promote their own, but also others health and wellbeing. Thus they:
- Do not lust to commit acts that emotionally or physically harm others.
- Do not derive pleasure from limiting or taking away another's sense of power and agency.
- Do not use their power to intentionally inflict emotional and relational disturbances on others, such as narcissistic abuse syndrome, and Stockholm Syndrome.
Healthy individuals understand that authentic power is a choice to increase the sense of wellbeing of self or another at any given moment. They also understand the connection between treating others with dignity and respect with one's own sense of authentic dignity and self-respect. To describe those who commit acts of sexual assault as "men of power" or "powerful" simply feeds the problem, and the pathology of those that commit these acts.
3. Individuals that self-identify with a pathological "neediness" to violate others to prove superiority meet the DSM diagnostic criteria for a criminal mind.
Those individuals that regard violating others with impunity as an entitlement, and thus act with intent to disregard and violate others meet key criteria for psychopathology, a thought-disorder pattern so disturbing to the human psyche that it is listed separately from other mental health disorders in the diagnostic manual, or DSM — as one of the personality disorders: antisocial personality disorder.
Arguably this is what makes APD the most disturbing of all mental health or personality disorders (to include narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD, which is a less extreme version).
An individual that meets the criteria for APD or NPD feels disdain for human emotions of empathy and compassion, thus intentionally disconnects from them. Their early experiences traumatized them into wearing a mask, feeling disgust for emotional connection, or empathy, and the like. In their thought-disordered mind, these are evidence of weakness and inferiority.
In varying degrees, those with a criminal mind pose a risk of harm to others.
It must also be said that some men who otherwise would never rape or assault a woman, may do so in certain contexts, i.e., in a group of boys or men, to avoid being perceived as weak, etc., in which one or more males pressure them to display and conform to the norms of what some refer to as "toxic masculinity" or "the cult of masculinity." In his research titled Dying to Be Men, for example, Dr. Gary Barker describes how men often feel forced to go along with group norms, in situations that pose high risk of harm to themselves and others, in order to avoid rejection, shame-based taunting, and to prove they are "real" men, not sissies or girls.
Rape and assault are criminal actions rooted in a false-self sense of power, hyper-vigilant ego-defenses, and core fears, among others, of powerlessness, rejection and inadequacy.

What Do Adele and Bob Dylan Have in Common?
May 19, 2011
I am crazy about Adele so I have been online trying to listen to every song she has ever sung. This is task is made slightly more difficult since her YouTube channel has not yet been made available in Canada, but I digress.
It did not take me too long to find her song Make You Feel My Love (video below). Verrah nice song, indeed. It is a Bob Dylan cover. But here is the funny thing (funny to me anyway); I did not realize how similar Dylan's song You Belong To Me was to his song Make You Feel My Love until I heard Adele sing her version. So I have posted the closest thing I could find for a YouTube video of Bob Dylan's You Belong To Me below Adele's song.
So here you have them, folks. My song selections for this week:

There are no typical Supreme Court cases; there is a typical range of cases during a given term. One category consists of cases of constitutional interpretation, usually involving a claim that a federal or state statute of policy violates a provision of the Constitution. The second consists of cases requiring the justices to decide the meaning or application of a federal statute. A third category consists of suits between states.

Hubris- Jinkies, a Clue!
Now I want to do a whole thing where Ramon and Paste are detectives.
So now Mr. Cranky's getting in shape for the fest? Or is he Zigg Foote without his costume?
Who would play Inspector Lestrade? I'd love to see Kara for that.
Greg – does Stanky Creek have a half-time show played?
played = planned.
as SIMPLE minded as he was…I would say Lowell! lol
NOT jogging track. more a keep in shape track it seems.
I never EVER thought we would see Paste with such a shocked face.
Simple, since Mr. Cranky owns the turf, he has the right to use the track any time he wants. Just that he's hoofing it instead of using a bike. Paste will just have to deal with 'paying the rent' in this case. After Mr. Cranky gets through with his hike, the course may need a 'reconditioning' just like you do for a ski slope in season. Then it can be used for bikes once again.
I have some compost and sand and other piles here and a neighborhood full of boys under 10. We have sorted out nicely what they can ride over and what they can't. I even borrowed one of their 20″ small frame mountain bikes and went over some of it myself, and yes I dug out my rollerblade safety equipment (most of them do wear such and I applaud, for their biking) and approved what they could and couldn't destroy. They do have to leave their dogs at home or else the dogs think they own the turf and leave me deposits I don't like…. I try to be neighborly and the boys pay me off with an occasional bike loan (and I will air tires and I fixed one tire the last time in return…) (I prefer a smaller bike frame so I can bail easier. 20″ is a little too small but I make do)
GOSH! I just love to read your stories every time, you must be a HECK of a great neighbor to have I swear.
House to the north is for sale, some charm of an Arts and Crafts still exists in it, and hardwood floors. $16,000. Property taxes per year about $180. C'mon over.
also i am French
even if married to a Californian lady hehe
Parlez vous Francaise?
Only issue here is you have to bring your own job. Cost of living is cheap though, and the hospital is about two blocks away. I can walk it about as fast as I can get in a vehicle and drive there. We have air that smells like air, unless the wind is from the SSE in which case it turns BROWN and you can taste the stockyards. Oh, we have no water rationing and water is cheap.
Arghh. You making me dream
There was at least one other occasion (panel four):
Goes to show that Paste is occasionally gobsmackable.
well, his head was nearly chopped off back then.
kinda normal if you ask me! lol
So Greg, when does your skydiving adventure make it into Hubris?
MAYBE, that's how they start the outdoor fest instead of the zipline this time. hehe
The truth comes out. It may be Paste's Pump Park (fun alliteration) but it is Mr. Cranky's home first.
Ramon & Paste, the Odd Couple of detective teams.
and ramon meet mr cranky bunker guy . the one paste got the the land to make the park from
Write it, write it!! And then Ramon's huge struggle not to throttle Paste (the ultimate crime).
Ruh Roh Rubris!!

Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer is probably the most famous reindeer of all. Termed the ninth reindeer of Santa Claus, Rudolf is a fictional reindeer with a shiny red nose. He is depicted to be the lead reindeer in Santa's sleigh during a foggy Christmas Eve.
The character of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer was created by Robert May in 1939. He was asked to make a poem that could be given away by Santa Claus in Montgomery Ward department stores inAmerica. The poem was a success, that more than 2.4 million Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer poems were given away that year.
Johnny Marks, May's brother in law, decided to adapt a song for Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. The song was first sung by Harry Brannon in 1948. In 1949, Gene Autry recorded the first Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer song. Below is the Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer Lyrics.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer: Lyrics
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
For many years after its release in 1949, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer is still one of the most popular Christmas Carols of all time.
The record sold 2.5 million copies on its first year alone, and sold more than 25 million in total. It has remained the 2nd best selling song until the 1980's.
Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer is also a popular character in different Christmas Cards, Christmas cartoons and movies and other Christmas carols.
Find out the names of the other reindeer of Santa, they help Santa deliver all the gifts! 😉

Recently, we collaborated with Bokja Design Studio to design their new showroom, situated right next to their previous one in Saifi Village. And for BDW 2018, Bokja decided to squat different locations around the city with its unique upcycled furniture and artwork.
One of the locations Bokja squatted was the construction site of our CONVIVIUM Home in Gemmayze, where we hosted several public and private tours. The upcycled furniture completed our vision for the sustainable design of the LIVING Home.
During BDW 2018, we also had two other interventions that you can read about:

I am thankful to have a church heritage that affirms and values women in ministry, women in leadership, and female pastors. Yet, I have been embarrassed that this affirmation is often times more in theory or history than current practice. As I work with congregations across Indiana, I find that some have imported a bias against women in leadership from other tribes. I hear search teams say they are not open to a female pastor.

Anglian Water repairs to close Orttewell Road in Bury St Edmunds for three weeks
Orttewell Road will be fully closed for three weeks as a £650,000 water main is fitted from Monday, April 8.
Anglian Water will be laying 60m of additional water main installed from the Bury St Edmunds road into a neighbouring field.
Work is set to conclude at the end of the month and access for residents and the emergency services will be maintained at all times.
Motorists will otherwise be sent via a diversion route (see below for details).
Anglia Water said they had scheduled the work for the Easter holidays to minimise disruption.
Spokesperson David Hartley said: "We're always supportive of sustainable growth across the region, and as the East of England is one of the fastest growing areas in the UK, this work in Bury St Edmunds will ensure a resilient water supply for the future, keeping taps running for years to come.
"By working with Suffolk Highways, we've been able to schedule this work in the Easter holidays in order to minimise any disruption for people in the area, but we're sorry for any inconvenience caused, our teams will be working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."
The diversion route
- A full road closure will be in effect on Orttewell Road (between the A143 and the junction with Barton Road).
- A diversion route will be in place that will see traffic diverted via the A134, onto the A14 and through Bedingfeld Way and onto the Orttewell Road from the south.
- Northbound traffic will be diverted via Barton Road, Hollow road and onto the A134.

18 pounder shell case.
Got this today from the local flea market, though I have never seen another which has such a deep patina of the brass, even after a polish it is still very dark green, almost black in colour. I have taken pics next to my other example which is very brassy in comparison (which used to have badges glued to it).

After two swarms Thursday evening that lasted until 9 PM, we decided to capture the third swarm Friday morning before work. It was a cool night so I know the bees won't fly off that early. Master Gardener Drew put me in contact with Jean who pinged him about a swarm on her tree and was seeing if a beekeeper would like to hive it.
A nice sized swarm for sure. About 5 pounds of bees! We tried to cut and drop and go since I did have to go to work today, but it didn't happen like that. It was cut and drop but the branch was too long and didn't fit in a medium. So we had to shake the bees, sending many into the air and we had to find the queen and then leave the box there to pick up after dark (which I'm about to do right after this blog entry).
Finding the queen took much longer than usual today with all the bees and because this queen had a much darker ab section. We did spot her twice but couldn't get her as she dug herself into the huge crowd of worker bees. Finally we caught her! A nice size queen.
Thanks Drew and Jean for calling us to save the bees!

The ONTAP snapshot integration allows backup, replication, restore as well as other Veeam jobs to take advantage of native ONTAP snapshots, which provides faster data access with almost no impact on the production environment. This allows you to take backups much more frequently than with legacy backup software, and dramatically improves the RPO objectives of the application.
In this demo, you integrate one ONTAP cluster into the Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 Update 4 software.
Click Add Storage to start the wizard.
Click NetApp to start the Add NetApp Storage wizard.
Click Data ONTAP to start the wizard for NetApp ONTAP systems.
Enter the cluster management IP, or hostname of the ONTAP cluster you want to add.
Add the credentials for the ONTAP clusters:
After you add the credentials click Next.
Choose Only these volumes, and click Add.
Select the nfs1 volume since this activity only uses NFS access to ONTAP.
Click Finish to complete the wizard.
As soon as you complete the wizard, Veeam scans the ONTAP system and adds it to the Veeam interface.
After the ONTAP systems are added to Veeam you can see them on the left side of the "Storage Infrastructure". After you add the ONTAP Cluster, options are available at the cluster, SVM, volume and Snapshot level.

House Democrats Plan To Introduce Legislation Criminalizing Private Gun Sales Once The New Congress Is In Session.
Mother Jones reports that Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) met with gun control groups that included the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Center for American Progress, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, and Gabby Giffords' group. He asked them what they wanted, and a bill to criminalize private gun sales was on their wish list.
So Thompson will sponsor legislation requiring a background check before someone may buy a gun from his neighbor, a co-worker to get a background check before buying a gun from a co-worker, and so forth. The bill will go so far as to require a son to get a background check before a father can give him a gun as a gift.
Private gun sales are legal and have been an American tradition since 1791, the year the Second Amendment was ratified. – READ MORE

Hundreds of leaseholders living in blocks with dangerous cladding are still facing bills of tens of thousands of pounds despite the government putting £200m towards the removal of aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding last month, Inside Housing can reveal.
A survey by the UK Cladding Action Group (UKCAG), shared with the magazine, showed that there were a number of blocks across the country clad in non-ACM where leaseholders still face crippling costs to replace cladding and resolve other fire safety issues.
Last month the government announced that it would create a £200m fund to pay for the removal of dangerous ACM cladding from private residential blocks.
However, of the 17 blocks referenced in response to the survey, exactly half did not have any ACM cladding on their blocks. Instead they have materials in their cladding and insulation that fire services and fire safety experts believe are dangerous and need to be removed. On some of these developments, leaseholders collectively face bills of up to £3m to get the cladding removed.
Natasha Foulkes – a resident at Burton Place in Manchester, which is clad in timber and combustible insulation – said that, as it stands, leaseholders in the block would still have to pay the cladding removal bill. The cost is estimated to be £80,000 for leaseholders that own three-bedroom flats in the development.
She added: "While we are pleased the government is doing something, it is not enough, and the fund does not help us in any way."
The UKCAG survey revealed the national scale of the problem, with responses from blocks in Ipswich, the West Midlands, Manchester, London and Sheffield.
Of the nine ACM-clad blocks referenced in response to the survey, four also have other types of cladding and insulation that need to be removed. One example is the Northpoint building in south London, which has three different types of dangerous cladding, including category three ACM – the same used on Grenfell.
Inside Housing is currently running its End Our Cladding Scandal campaign, which calls on the government to provide funding for the removal of dangerous cladding from private blocks. However, the government has so far been clear that cash will go only to those blocks covered in ACM.
In a letter to one resident of a block with non-ACM cladding in Manchester, seen by Inside Housing, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said that the fund would cover ACM only, as the material is "exceptional due to the high risk it poses as an accelerant of fire".
The survey also revealed a litany of other fire safety issues, including problems with fire doors, compartmentation problems and missing fire breaks throughout the buildings.
Of the 17 blocks surveyed, 11 reported issues with defective or missing fire breaks in the cladding systems or other parts of the building. There were also seven blocks that reported problems with the fire compartmentation of their tower blocks that needed to be rectified.
As part of the End Our Cladding Scandal campaign, Inside Housing is calling on the government to pay for necessary internal fire safety measures identified in affected blocks.
A MHCLG spokesperson said: "There is nothing more important than making sure people are safe in their homes and that's why the government is committed to improving building safety.
"Following Dame Judith Hackitt's report, we are working with leaders in the housing and construction industries to start making changes to improve safety within the sector."
Inside Housing is calling for immediate action to implement the learning from the Lakanal House fire, and a commitment to act – without delay – on learning from the Grenfell Tower tragedy as it becomes available.
We will submit evidence from our research to the Grenfell public inquiry.
The inquiry should look at why opportunities to implement learning that could have prevented the fire were missed, in order to ensure similar opportunities are acted on in the future.

Recently I started reading about .NET reorganization details (mostly through .NET Core github pages). It seams that they created sibling projects to support more platforms. While reading I have the impression that CoreCLR and CoreRT is a new OpenSource version of propriety Roslyn compiler. CoreRT provides native (AOT) compilation. And LLILC is an alternative implementation directing LLVM framework.
Can anyone confirm and describe the differences and goals of this projects from the user perspective? Why someone would use Roslyn in the future instead of CoreCLR?

Low Water Bills Blamed for High Consumption
EghtesadOnline: Iran will face widespread water shortage sooner-than-expected if water price is not adjusted, Energy Minister Reza Ardekanian said on Friday.
"While the price of a 0.5-liter bottle of mineral water is 10,000 rials [22 cents], 1 cubic meter of running water is priced at only 5,000 rials [11 cents]," Ardekanian was quoted as saying by ILNA.
The official added that the unreasonably low prices cause consumers to pay no heed to the precious commodity and consume it imprudently as if it will never deplete.
Stressing that most of the country's water resources are used in agriculture sector, Ardekanian said that if the administration is unable to establish modern judicious consumption patterns, new water supply plans, which cost billions of dollars, will only delay the tragedy of water paucity for a few years, Financial Tribune reported.
"The Ministry of Agriculture banned rice cultivation in some provinces with water tension in the current water year (ending Sep. 22)," he said.
"However, we cannot pin hope on such measures to curtail water consumption."
Ardekanian noted that currently, rice is still being cultivated in 170,000 hectares of water-stressed regions.
"One of the ways to institutionalize the reform of crop rotation, growing a series of dissimilar crops in the same area in alternate seasons in these areas will also be profitable," he said.
Mohammad Reza Bakhtiari, chief executive of Tehran Regional Water Authority, told ISNA this week that the directive to raise water tariffs for consumers was ratified by Tehran City Council and approved by the Economy Council.
"Water prices for households consuming less than 30 cubic meters a month will rise by 7%, yet the tariffs for subscribers who exceed the limit will increase by 15%," he added.
Experts believe that low water prices have made people oblivious to the fact that they must consume water judiciously and help mitigate the effects of water shortage.
Average water consumption decreased to less than 200 liters per day per person last year. Nonetheless, as Iran is in one of the world's most water-stressed regions, that is still a considerable amount and plans should be devised to further curb consumption.

As of today, Melodeon Minutes has been visited over 10,000 times. In celebration of my fine readers, I offer a simple recording of the 2nd part of Quadrille Bouchard, which I learned by listening to recordings of departed master Bruneau.
It has been interesting to see which posts on Melodeon Minutes were the most popular. The most visited posts are the video of Denis Pepin and the post about using Cajun accordions for non-Cajun music. Many visitors find their way to Melodeon Minutes via other blogs or Melodeon.net, yet many come here after Google searches. Not surprisingly, many people who are searching for information on Denis Pepin come to Melodeon Minutes -- there is otherwise very little information about this fantastic player on the internet. Posts about Castagnaris or specific models are also very popular.
In the meantime, there is a lot more information on the internet for anyone who wishes to learn about diatonic accordions (melodeons). Makers like Bertrand Gaillard and Doug Briggs have finally graced the web with information about their unique accordions. Bloggers like Accordeonaire and Gumshoe Arcana share their personal experiences of melodeon joy. Enthusiasts from around the world, like Toko, serenade us with their performances. There are so many contributors to the explosion of melodeon presence on the world wide wide, I tip my hat to those whom I have not mentioned.
To my readers, here's to you.

The first word that comes to mind when we talk of personal care, hygiene etc. is about beauty salons.

Know thyself and just as importantly know thine enemy, or so says the Gospel of St. Waddington chapter 1 verse 1.
I have been trying, with absolutely no success to understand Prime Minister Steven Harper' s way of thinking.
He is Prime Minister of one of the worlds most beautiful countries. Take all of the most stunning and beautiful parts from all of the different countries found on Planet Earth and somewhere in Canada you will find similar beauty.
As a small example… When we were living in Greater Vancouver one of my wife's friends came for a visit. Being good hosts and wanting to show off where we lived we took her for a days drive. In about 12 hours which included time at the side of the road with a kind and generous old man who let us watch Mountain Goats with his spotting scope she saw;
mountains, dessert, valleys, temperate rain forest, semi arid forest, rivers, water falls, glaciers, fjords, river canyons, rapids and all sorts of wild animals.
Remember that drive started in Vancouver and 12 hours later ended in Vancouver. Really just a quick skim of the diversity and beauty that B.C. has to offer. Understand as well that B.C. is about one twelfth of Canada.
Fjords, desserts, mountains, plains, tundra, the high Arctic, and the worlds longest coastline. Every type of geography the world has to offer is found within Canada's borders. Clean air and water in abundance. As well every naturally occurring type of alternative energy is found within Canada's borders, geothermal, tide, wind, solar and hydro power in abundance.
With all of this beauty, diversity and natural power to draw on plus a highly educated and industrious population Canada should be as green as clean and as free as any country in the world. But it isn't.
P.M. Harper has pulled Canada out of the Kyoto Accord. He has proclaimed that the Athabaskan Tar Sands are the backbone of Canada's financial plans in the 21st century. The P.M. has threatened trade wars against any and all who would put added taxes on the worlds dirtiest carbon fuel that is the result of working the Athabaskan Tar Sands. Scientists have been muzzled and funding has been cut in the environmental sector.
Any Canadian who is opposed to the Athabaskan Tar Sands, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Twinned Pipeline proposal or running Supertankers up and down the B.C. Coast are declared enemies of the state and possibly even treasonous. He has approved both infiltration and subversion of First Nation organizations and has shared the information with roughly 400 organizations or governments in an effort to protect the energy industry. As well his government has now found it acceptable to use information gathered through torture.
Canada's Prime Minister is turning Canada into a global warming pariah. He is destroying the natural wonders of Canada. Harper is treating the citizens of Canada as if they were traitors in a time of war.
Harper is the true enemy of Canada. I do not understand why he is, but he is. If you want to understand what I don't, try clicking on the link below. The article just might clear things up. Then again it might give you nightmares.

INVISALIGN and INVISALIGN TEEN
There are many people who have wanted to have straighter teeth, but are not willing to consider traditional braces and wires.
For those seeking an alternative orthodontic therapy without the hassle and stigma associated with braces, Invisalign may be the answer. From the moment you start Invisalign treatment, you'll enjoy a better smile every day.
Advantages of Invisalign vs. conventional brackets and wires include:
-Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Most people won't notice that you are wearing your aligners or undergoing orthodontic treatment.
-Invisalign aligners are very comfortable and contour exactly to your teeth. Brackets and wires can sometimes cause irritation to the surrounding tissues.
-Invisalign retainers are removable. This allows you to continue your normal brushing and flossing habits as well as maintaining a non-restricted diet.

Support me! Buy the GRRRRR book series on Amazon!
The Great Romantic Revival Reformation Revolution Renaissance!
Perhaps you should stop praying to the clouds,
and read my books instead!
This sub-page is a part of Illuminated Ministries. (Illumination Ministries)
Also called 1stcenturyministries.
But all books can be read from a very normal Christian perspective.
For they are written from a neo-charismatic perspective.
And btw: Pagans are crypto-(Jewish) globalists,
like the pagan royals, the Bushes, the OTO, and Bohemian Grove.
The enemy risks race, nation,- all to destroy Christian Europe.
Christianity is their enemy, and they risk all to destroy her.
Then they will destroy Islam with atheism, New-Age and Paganism.
The Middle-East will be a glass crater by then, and paganism, and
hinduism will remain, along with a negroid, pagan, european race
with an IQ score of 90. Just enough to be able to function.
I am the absolutionist. I am here to help people,
and bring CIVILIZATION to the ends of the Earth.
Through FACTS. Through SCIENCE. NO compromise.
Click the links below to buy my epic books! (Please notify me if the links doesn`t work, corporate Amazon have been trying to censor my hard labour illegally, breaking the deal between author and company.)
The God Reality - Proof of God through Science!
This is the first book in the Great Romantic Revivalist Reformation Revolution Renaissance book series. Or GRRRRR. I delve into ontological and philosophical arguments for creationism, before discovering alternative physics of the Source-Field through Reichian science, to prove evolution started from microscopic bions in a theory of Source-Field evolution Dr. James DeMeo calls ¨bion biogenesis¨. I talk about my own experiences with dimensions, Orgonite, Source, Ether, Orgone, Vril, my black night of the soul, and determine how energy is sexual in nature, based on Dr. Wilhelm Reich. I touch upon sacred geometry, the platonic solids, the Fibonacci sequence, ¨Ivan Panin`s numerology in scripture¨, and proof of spontaneous healing. I end with the discovery of a New Scientific inter-religious law, and a conclusion that Satanism is physically, spiritually, and philosophically dead.
The Christian Path - Biblical Theology
This is book 2 out of 6 books in the Great Romantic Revivalist Reformation Revolution Renaissance series, or GRRRRR series. While most of my books share new topics, this book is merely theological in nature and concerns all normal aspects of the Christian faith. While many of my other books would be considered unheard and controversial, this is only conservative Biblical Christianity that you can gift to your grandparents. It is a long compendium of questions and answers to all theological questions I asked myself in my Christian life like; what does the Bible say about sex before marriage, prayer, worship, church-service, baptism, saints etc? I also include my 2 year looong study on God`s true name, which I consider complete, shattering the myth that God`s name is Yehuah or Ahayah. My book presents my incredible short testimony and life-mission as a Church father, and opens with enthusiastic visions for the future of Biblical Christianity. I also delve into the subject of New-Testament laws and deeds, cataloguing it for the first time. I also share my thoughts about our beautiful heritage from Israel, and represent the mainstream Christian, Israel-patriotic viewpoint in this. The book is the next step towards uniting the reform, liberal, Pentecostal, and charismatic Christian movement with reforms to attitude, worship, prayer, evangelization and Church service!
Jesus, Lucifer, and the ritual of the Cross explained
This is book 3 of the 6 books in the GRRRRR series, the Great Romantic Revivalist Reformation Revolution Renaissance. This book, like all my books, details never-before published content. This is a mystical book for the initiates of the Illuminated and must be read as such. First, we will question our reality, discover who God is, who Lucifer is, and question what Luciferianism is, slaughtering every myth since Biblical times. Then we will discover that Jesus did exist, ascended into the rainbow body, and probably left behind the Shroud of Turin. ' We will discover the secret pyramid prophesies about Jesus, and how Jesus was the Sun of the astrological signs in the Mazzaroth that the Jews, and the Nazarenes, his cult, believed in. This is a complete book that discover Jesus actual birthdate based on never-before revealed secret interpretations of Revelations, and determine who Jesus was mythologically, who he was to the Jews, if he was the messiah, before revealing ALL about HOW Jesus did hypothetically save us in a ritual on the cross. We will discover what modern Magick is, and how Satanism is spiritually, physically and philosophically dead, before I reveal secrets of spiritual warfare. We will then sum up the content, cover things like reincarnation, and did I mention: We will discover when Christ is coming back, at all, and if so, how he will do this... Prepare to be amazed!!!
The Secrets of John`s Revelations
This is book 5 of the 6 books in the GRRRRR series, or Great Romantic Revival Reformation Revolution Renaissance. This is the first edition, yet still contain the most secrets of all books on John`s Revelations out there… We will start by discovering Christ`s actual birthdate through Mazzaroth astrology recorded in Revelations 12. From there I will detail every controversial interpretation of who the beasts are, including the fact that 666 means ¨chi xi stigma! ¨ We will discover Jesus in relations to Easter, and a potential antichrist, or Christ figure, namely the Ascended Master Ashtar. We will discover all mainstream beast theories as well, including Judas, Islam, the Vatican, Apollyon, Azazel, the historical beasts, and who the beast systems and the whore of Babylon represents today. We will discover the Jewish shemitah calendar, and the World`s knowledge about prophecy, Revelations, Christ`s 2nd coming, or if he is coming at all, will be complete for the first time in world history!!!!
The Testament of Johan Ridderstedt
I also have a little (personal) testament which I compiled together for a first edition. Because I thought you would find the parables very beautiful, as I have an eye for truth I inherited from God. :) I also must say I am NOT Jesus.
The Kingdom of God - Christianity`s Revolution of Independence - My Main Manifesto
This was the first book I wrote. It was the Archangel Gabriel who told me to write about the coming governmental form of Utopian, Theocratic Christianity. It is a forbidden dream, even for Christian. A state somewhat like Israel, or Islamic countries, only with Christians. For there is no such nation in the world. This book will appeal to the Christian of all denominations, the conspiracy theorist, the Viking, the national-patriot, the anarchist, the right-winger, but also everyone else, as it criticizes taxation, flaws of democracy, governmental forms, politics, and political correctness from a future standpoint of formerly ethnic countries in the west. The book has two parts, with the first detailing conspiracy-reality surrounding Christian misconceptions about Talmud Judaism, Islam, the Quran, the Illuminati-freemasons, the New World Order, it`s philosophies, and it`s crimes against human rights and Christianity, before addressing replacement theology, and how Christians are the chosen people, and how the future must be a Christian, global Israel, and not a global Babylon. But if you think you`re better because you`re Christian, then you`re wrong. I investigate, and attack everything from Christian apathy to Church corruption, apostasy, integration of immigrants and politics with content never before published in book-form. The second part investigates, and criticizes royalty, monarchy, and our sysem before coming with my own personal philosophy of Source, Love and Light as a common humanistic inter-religious ethic for all religions, and ethnicities. I then continue with the absolute best state model never before published, a theocracy without any taxes other than 10% to the State Church, as is Biblical, with a state ruled by saints in an intellectual-democratic model with internet democracy as demanded by the French yellow-vest protesters RIC. I outline every Christian`s goal (8 goals of Christianity) , and how to get there through reforming history, physics, science, and teaching our children Conspiracy Reality in private schools, or in summer youth-camps to get our own very first Christian nation.
Yes. A religious, and technological revolution, and disclosure of the Illuminati`s crimes is coming to awaken the Christian world! Our success rate will be 200%! This is not about race or color. This is about souls, freedom, justice against the Illuminati, and the future of the Earth.
Have you ever considered that you Christians are spiritual Israelites that deserve your own nation? As of now we have only Russia, perhaps Poland, and a few countries in South America that publically state they are Christian nations; but no real Christian nation in the way Israel is a jewish nation, or Saudi Arabia is an Islamic nation. I say that these two are in many way FASCIST states, and there is nothing wrong with that. Fascism just means that one opinion, race or religion is superior to others. They just want to protect themselves. China is f.i in many way a fascist atheistic country. But a CHRISTIAN state???
Have courage, and start dreaming! But the west has somehow lost the guts, and priveledge to rebellion alongside freedom of speech, and human rights because of Islam.
In the future Europe I prophecy: Unite, strategize, emmigrate, and rebel for the protection, and preservation of ONE Christian state in Europe. That`s why I sing: Raise up an army from these dead bones like in the Song of Ezekiel by Paul Wilbur! Halleluja!
I want a liberal-economic, neo-charismatic-Christian, anti-Illuminati democratic state with a government of saints for Christmas.
Only a traditional-ultra-liberalistic (not modern liberalism), neo-charismatic (fascist) Christian state with a government of saints will do.
A state of Christian: Politics, media, hospitals, military, police, schools, and social wellfare. Where people are treated with love. Where the children are taught about REAL technology, (like Reich`s theory of evolution, and sacred geometry - God`s fingerprint) and the CRIMES of the satanic Illuminati at SCHOOL. Where Einstein`s physics is THROWN away, and Tesla`s physics build flying machines, and hydrogen power-plants! Where the state builds HUGE monuments, and Churches for Christ.
Yes. That is God`s will. As in the song: ¨I hear the voice of the prophet; preparing the nation for war!¨ Raise up an army. Raise up an army. Raise up an army. From these dead bones! We will win! Amen! By starting private schools, and teaching truth. By starting hospitals, and curing cancer patients. By organizing, and building 50 cars that run on water.
We will win! We will WIN! When we only have ONE society of true religion and science! All will be lit! One tiny light expells all darkness, and the world built on the lies of the Illuminati will crumble. Everyone will want our system, religion and technology. That`s why a Christian Tesla village in Norway is so important. (Like the one in Croatia.) God spoke to me about this since my early teens.
And no. I`m not an extremist, or at least not an activist. I am a targeted individual. I suffer from satanic extremism in the hospital, and the police who experiment on unwilling citizens of the CIA Mk-Ultra program. And that`s a fact. I am very very peaceful. Source, love and light is my motto. But I have teeth, and I can biteif Norway clones, and rapes me.
The Wisdom of All Golden Ages, and the ontological, metaphysical law of Source, Love and Light.
Discover the groundbreaking news! The metaphysical law of love and light! Don`t shun your head, and don`t miss out this one! This is book 4, the follow-up to Jesus, and the ritual of the cross explained. It`s main goal is to discover how the world will be free from sin when the global Heavenly Kingdom arrive, and all are Christian. While most of my work is conservative; I made this to balance myself out a little. This book is not a part of official 1stcenturyministires theology. This work is about the relativity of sin taken into context through a ¨new gospel¨ of love and light. See it as a Christmas present. I originally called it An Ode to the Sun and Morningstar. I take you on a personal journey through philosophical, and inter-religious revelations about love and light. The summary of the book is how I discover a unified law for scientific, religious, and philosophical schools in which all the world can unite. (A humanistic code for the greater good.) Although I was hesitant to post this due to fear of herecy, this is a must read, and will greatly enhance your life with joy! Recommended only for those who have obtained salvation with a firm faith, and relationship to Christ. Only for the purpose of reasoning, philosophy, and study; not to be preached as ¨some new religion.¨ Thank you so much.

Wolcott, Vermont
Hike to Elmore Mountain Fire Tower
5.6 Miles Total - 1485 ft gain - Loop Trail
Originally added by Leah Joy
The Town of Lake Elmore calls itself "The BeautySpot of Vermont." Climb the Elmore Fire Tower to take in all the beauty from the top!
If hiking in off season when the park is closed, begin from the lower parking lot or the "day use area". If hiking while the park is open you can drive to the upper parking lot (subtract about 1.4 miles from total distance)
Beginning from the lower parking lot make you way through the gate and into the park. Turn left and begin walking up the road for about 3/4 of a mile. Here you'll reach the trailhead. Continue on the Fire Tower Trail for 1.9 miles to reach the summit. Be sure to stop at the old cabin site which offers the first spectacular views. Remains of the cabin including an oven and bed can be seen from a fire that burnt it to the ground.
The Fire Tower Trail begins easy, turns moderate, and the last .2 miles become more steep and challenging with rocky sections. Climb the fire tower and enjoy the views.
To make a loop descend via Ridge Trail passing balance rock along the way.
After you're finished with the hike be sure to stop by The Elmore Store. Purchase beer and a pizza and enjoy the cozy lake view room or sit out on the deck.

Fun, Quick hike
Offers a good variety of hiking. Took two hours to do an out and back on the fire tower trail, starting at the higher parking lot. Almost everyone we saw had their dog with them - it's a good hike for dog lovers. Great 360 degree views from the fire tower.

- The EU default regarding Palladium's material is to not accept that which is potentially implicit, but to restrict interpretation to that which is explicit.
Combat Rules Clarifications
- Any action which takes more than 1 APM to complete can be interrupted just like a mage can be interrupted while casting a complex spell.
- A natural 20 (D20 roll) is always a critical hit. It causes double damage, and whatever the character's written intention was, is exactly what happens.
- A character's critical strike range is applicable to all strikes regardless of weapon type.
- A natural 20 (D20 roll) always wins the initiative roll unless there's another natural 20, in that case initiative goes to whoever has the highest total initiative roll including bonuses.
- A natural 1 (D20 roll) is always an automatic miss/critical failure regardless of range. The GM will always make things interesting.
- A roll or 01-04 (D100 roll) is always a critical success. Whatever the character's written intention was is exactly what happens.
- A roll of 97-00 (D100 roll) is always a critical failure regardless of one's level of skill. The GM will always make things interesting.
- A ranged or melee strike roll of 1-4 after bonuses is always an automatic miss at ranges from 1' to 59'.
- A ranged strike roll of 1-8 AFTER bonuses is an automatic miss at ranges from 60'+.
- When ranged weapons are being used within 10' the defender may attempt to parry the weapon rather than dodge.
- Aimed shots receive a +3 to strike modifier and require 2 APM to complete.
- Called shots require 2 APM to complete and enable a character to target a specific location.
- Aimed called shots receive a +3 to strike modifier, require 3 APM to complete, and enable a character to target a specific location.
- Called shots can only be attempted with a single shot; characters cannot attempt a called shot with a burst, a spray, or when shooting wild.
- Firing a burst sees bonuses reduced by 1/2, (-3 to strike without W.P.).
- Firing a spray never receives a strike modifier (-6 to strike without W.P.).
- Shooting wild imposes a -6 to strike modifier.
- A character is considered to be shooting wild whenever he is moving faster than a walk, in a moving vehicle, doing acrobatics, etc.
- A moving target imposes a -1 to strike modifier plus an additional -1 modifier per 50 mph in excess of 20 mph.
- If a target is behind cover, a shooter requires a called shot to strike his target; if a target has total coverage from a given direction he cannot be struck.
- Laser targeting modifiers are not cumulative. All laser targeting systems provide a flat +1 to strike modifier.
- Bionic hands negate any modifiers received from custom weapons grips.
- A volley of 4 or more guided missiles cannot be dodged.
- Mini-missiles are not guided missiles, so the above rule does not apply to them. GMs are encouraged to apply a substantial dodge penalty of their own reckoning.
- Mini-missiles are unguided and have no bonuses to strike unless the character has the W.P. Heavy M.D. Weapons skill, those bonuses (only) apply.
- Armor piercing missiles do more damage on critical strikes and have a lower threshold for critical strikes than other missiles.
- A natural 19 is a critical strike which does double damage.
- A natural 20 is a critical strike which does triple damage.
Called Shot Melee Strikes
- Called shot melee strikes only cost 1 APM, but receive no bonuses. Only really small targets require called strikes. For example, while it may be tough to hit someone's head with a ranged weapon, it isn't a big difference for a melee fighter, so it is just be a normal strike directed at the target's head. Tiny targets which would be hard to hit even up close and personal (like a weapon) requires a called strike and a certain level of GM discretion.
Strike Bonuses
- P.P. modifiers apply to strike, parry, and dodge in HTH melee combat and ranged melee attacks (natural energy blasts, thrown objects, & archery) only.
- Strike modifiers from HtH combat skills, O.C.C. powers, and other sources do not apply to special moves such as disarm, hold, etcetera.

As part of my proposal entitled "Making time for disappointment: exercises in normalizing creative expression in a working environment" I hope to work with the staff and students at UCD College of Business to develop a practice of making, showing and discussing art as an ordinary part of working life.
I will use the mediums of E-mail, Video, Photography, Clay, Sound and desktop based Drawing Programs as well as stickers and posters to develop a body of work, individually and in collaboration with staff and students in the UCD College of Business.
In her book, Artificial Hells (2012), Claire Bishop cites Dan Graham saying:
"All artists are alike, they dream of doing something more social, more collaborative, and more real than art. This is part of my dream"
My interest in working with the College of Business in UCD stems from a desire to investigate art's dream to be more than itself, and the relationship that dream has to commerce, and ideas of success.
I am interested in developing wider definitions of economy though both my studio practice and interdisciplinary exchange, particularly in the areas of behaviour and organizational studies at UCD College of Business.
Through consultation and intervention, I want to explore the extension of concepts of value into the intangible realm of human feelings, as people endeavour to not only sustain themselves but "be" themselves in their working life.
Through the development of creative workshops that disrupt or intervene in the workplace, I am interested in discovering how creativity and indeed disruption could be integrated into working environments as a means to increase productivity, innovation and happiness at work and how a culture of creative intervention might engender new responses to disappointment in the work-place.
In conjunction with this I am also interested in art's disappointment with itself.
What I see as two contradictory yet coexistent demands of contemporary art which constrain how and what artists make.
The continuous institutional and internal pressure for art to do more than what it does and the economic argument that supports this persecution: that art as no real value relative to the time and resources needed to produce it and the contingency of popular taste on which its sale and commercial success depends.
Art's concurrent reduction to a commodity within the art market as one of the most unregulated economies in the world. Within this universe art is no longer "made" but "organized", that is, its value is constituted by circulatory and distributional conditions and criteria rather than material or productavist needs.
Through my 12-month residency at the UCD College of Business I propose that an exit from both these toxic commercial and social economies might take the form of a kind of naturalization rather than a valorization of art's practice into daily life – a clandestine approach that both undermines art's authority as vocational and unattainable and dismisses its need to be more than it is.
I propose that this is achievable through the organization of a space and a time to fail and to disappoint daily, through routine material investigation and creative production.
Artist Statement
My work explores the role of the artist in the production of affective dynamics between objects and subjects of attraction. Through investigations into mimetic, amateur, viral and regional methods of creative production I develop a practice of film, performance and sculpture making. This practice in turn forms part of an investigation into the possibilities, limits and possible exit points from contemporary art. By exposing myself and my work to the contingencies of collaboration my work seeks to catalyze its own innovation. Through the formation of relationships with other art-forms and practitioners working outside the orbit of the art world, I try to test the capacity of my work to free itself from aesthetic and cultural enclosure and interrogate the origins of my own self-censorship through displacement and negotiation to produce new models of what art can be.
Some of my recent projects include: Breaking Emmet's Block a public art commission for South Dublin County Council, Conjuncture In-Film, VC Ten at The Showroom Gallery, London, Affective Vectors, a Performance for The World is Almost Six Thousand Years Old at The Collection & Usher Gallery, Lincoln, Vector/Attractor, a solo exhibition, for The Return Gallery, at Goethe Institut Dublin, A Maguffin and Some Other Things, at the Project Art Centre, Dublin, Circling the Square for Gracelands, at The Milk Market, Limerick City, Worlds Combine #1 for EVA International, Limerick City, Units of Potential For The Lir Academy Dublin, This is Going to Take More Than One Night at The Model Niland Gallery, Sligo, Straw Boy Stories, Gracelands, Dromahair Co. Leitrim, Multiple T for The Floor of the Forrest at The Barbican Art Gallery, London and Resonance#1 a commission for Resonance FM at Frieze Art Fair, London.

Maori Party - Do Not Vote for Labour Due to Euthanasia
Do Not Vote for Labour Party for Wanting to Legalise
Euthanasia And Assisted Suicide
Pacific Communities and their leaders say…"No Euthanasia and No Assisted Suicide.
Therefore, do not vote for Labour Party that is intending to legalise Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide".
Tuilagi Saipele Esera, Māori Party Candidate for Manukau East, says "Pacific Community and Church Leaders were a significant Pacific Community voice that made written submissions against the Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide petition in 2016 via the Health Select Committee process.
Our Pacific Church leaders and their communities submitted in excess of 1,500 (one thousand and five hundred) submissions objecting to the proposed bill, then. It was a very clear message then, and it is a very clear message now".
Furthermore, Tuilagi Saipele Esera is urging our Pacific people and communities…"do not vote for the Labour Party that continues to decriminalise and legalise against our core Christian and Pacific Cultural Values."
"They decriminalised prostitution, and legalised same sex marriages. Now they want to legalise 'death on demand' via legalising Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide".
Tuilagi Saipele Esera is further encouraging Pacific leaders and communities not to second guess what the Labour Party would do if elected into Government.
"To defeat Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide becoming law, Pacific people and their communities must defeat the instigator at the general election by not voting for the Labour Party."
"Do not make the same mistake the third time, again! The Labour Party has its own agenda and it is not our Christian and Pacific agenda".
"Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide is a rejection of the
importance and value of human life. The Labour Party's
intention to legalise Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide is the
rejection of our Christian and Pacific Cultural Values. Do
not vote Labour"…says Tuilagi Saipele Esera, Māori
Party Candidate for Manukau

Vitamin D, or the "sunlight vitamin", is essential for our health, and its deficiency in the body might be the reason for the development of serious health issues and disorders.
The deficiency in vitamin D can cause:
- Mood swings
- Poor digestion
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Brain fog and forgetfulness
- Infections and illnesses
- Bone and muscle pain
- Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- Anemia
- Diabetes
- Acne
- Weight gain
- Dizziness
- Pregnancy complications
- Rickets
- Anxiety
Therefore, these are the symptoms that will indicate that you need to optimize vitamin D levels in the body before you start experiencing more complications:
- Poor immunity
Vitamin D boosts the immune system, so its deficiency makes one prone to infections, diseases, sickness, and various health issues.
- Back pain
Vitamin D improves the absorption of calcium in the body, so it strengthens the muscles and bones. Therefore, the low vitamin D levels have been linked to chronic lower back pain.
- Constant fatigue
The lack of this vitamin in the body often makes you sluggish, constantly tired, and drastically reduces the energy levels.
- Depression
The exposure to direct sunlight and the increase of the levels of vitamin D boost the release of hormones that improve mood, like serotonin, and thus treat depression and lethargy.
- Malabsorption
The reduced levels of vitamin D impede the absorption of other nutrients in the body, leading to various other health issues.
- Hair Loss
Many people who suffer from vitamin D deficiency also face difficulties with hair loss, since vitamin D is extremely important for the health of the hair.
- Weakness
Check your vitamin D levels if you feel weak and unable to lift a purse or a bag in the market. This might be due to the poor calcium absorption and could eventually cause osteoporosis.
- Excessive sweating
The increased body temperature and excessive sweating as a way for the body to eliminate the toxins are one of the early signs of vitamin D deficiency.
The body produces vitamin D in response to the skin exposure to sunlight. Its deficiency is a serious health concern and needs to be treated on time, in order to prevent serious health issues and ailments. Whenever possible, go out and enjoy the sun. Open the windows of the office or living room to let the sunlight in.
You can also consult your doctor and start taking vitamin D supplements.
However, some foods contain this vitamin as well, and you should increase their intake. These include egg yolks, fatty fish, like tuna, mackerel, and salmon, fish liver oils, cheese, foods fortified with vitamin D, like soy milk, dairy, and orange juice, and fortified dairy and grain products.

This has been a busy summer. Last month, my family enjoyed an unforgettable vacation to Washington, D.C. and Ocean City, Maryland, with my mother. We had a fantastic time! Then we took a three day tour to some of the sites in the Greater Cleveland area with my dad towards the end of the month. Of course, my personal favorite is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm amazed at the number of totally cool things Cleveland has to offer. I'm proud to call Northeast Ohio my home, and I can't imagine being anywhere else!
Now we come back to reality… last week I lost my Grandma, Betty, to cancer. I am so happy that she finally gets to see her reward in heaven, and see the face of our loving Father, into whose Hands she committed her life many years ago. But I miss her. She was my hero, my Mary Poppins- "Practically perfect in Every way." I love her dearly and her death is hitting me very hard. I've cried each and every day since she has passed.
God is good. He sees my every tear and knows their true purpose for me. Through all of this I look more fervently to Him and He comforts me. ..and He gives me new songs that soothe my heart.
Over the next couple of months, I have some big events coming up. I hope to share some of these new songs at my shows, and it would mean so much to me to have the support of friends and loved ones. This Saturday the 22nd at 6pm I will be at Cafe O'Play in Stow Ohio for the first time. I am hoping to see many families there! it's a great place for a family fun night!
Next month I will be at Art in Park in Kent, Ohio, for the first time. This is an annual gathering that celebrates artists from all over North east Ohio and I'm proud to be a part of the music line-up. There are vendors and tents with all kinds of art and crafts available for purchase… or admiration :). We will be playing a short set at 10am on Saturday September 12th. I look forward to seeing you there!
That's all for now… my feature picture this month is of my grandma, Betty Anspach. I took this picture just a couple of years ago when I saw her in Florida. When I looked at it later, it was the very first time I realized something important: My Grandma was proud of me. You can see it in her face in this picture. I will cherish it and that moment forever.
Thanks for your support!

Linux continues to make impressive advances into IT infrastructure, with IDC reporting 14 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth in Linux server shipments through the third quarter of last year. Not to mention the equally impressive penetration of Linux in a wide range of client devices, from routers to firewalls, from printers to imaging devices and from thin clients to smart mobile phones... this list could carry on.
Linux has proved itself within the biggest enterprises; Amazon.com, Credit Suisse First Boston, DreamWorks, Reuters, Lehman Brothers to name but a few have all migrated to Linux, relying on it to power their most mission-critical applications. For its performance it has attracted some of the largest financial institutions. For its security it has been adopted by governments around the globe.
But what about small and medium-size businesses who may not have a large IT team to support such migrations? Are SMEs ready to go down the open source route? What can they use Linux for? Do they necessarily have to rely on that IT team support?
Low cost - but a lot more than that
An obvious benefit for migration for every company, SMEs included, is the low cost of Linux. For the server market Linux offers a low entrance cost. The very nature of the open source model is such that the software such as the operating system is free, with companies then able to subscribe to support and software updates and patches.
Following the open source path can not only create real savings on both hardware and software costs but also spells the end of vendor lock-in, enabling companies to realize further savings through the freedom to choose their IT partners and not be tied into the costly software upgrade cycles of proprietary software vendors.
Optional automated Linux provisioning or management eases the management of Linux systems, further keeping down cost through freeing up resources for other more strategic tasks that enables business to innovate more. Linux lets system administrators remove services that aren't needed, eliminating unproductive loads on the hardware and reducing the administrative overhead for corporate system administrators.
Security is another important driving force. The availability of the source code for Linux makes a better alternative for creating secure systems. There is increased scrutiny of code to spot vulnerabilities before they can be used by viruses or worms, reducing the risk of infection and the related costs.
Not only are the Linux vendors constantly working to find potential issues in the software, but thousands of developers around the world are also examining the code, looking for ways to improve it. And, because all implementations of Linux - from servers to desktops to embedded - use the same open source IP stacks, Ipchains firewalls, SSH/SSL, security modules and other mechanisms, administrators can reuse hard-won expertise in one environment across their entire infrastructure.
Open and flexible
Linux allows users to tune the kernel on each system or virtual machine appropriately for the services it will provide. This improves performance, security and reliability, reducing the ongoing system administration needed. While Windows can be fast, its kernel must be large to provide the variety of services users may want to employ.
Linux lets system administrators remove services that aren't needed, eliminating unproductive loads on the hardware. Linux providers have also gone to great lengths to provide browser-based administration of major configuration and administrative selections.
Linux in the SME IT infrastructure
For SMEs, open source can be an attractive option at the infrastructure level for a multitude of reasons. The reality is that most of a business's IT tasks happen in the background without the end-user realizing it but relying on it for tasks like email, printing and accessing the servers for data.
This commodity part of the computing environment generally consists of infrastructure components such as operating systems, databases, email and directory services. With Linux proven as a stable, robust and reliable operating system, running the file, print or web servers on Linux machines lets SMEs consolidate server workloads and reduce the cost of maintaining and administering those systems.
Linux for file servers?
Linux gives you a wider choice of file systems and volume managers. Like Samba, running on Linux is a popular file-serving solution that includes easyto-use features that let users set up multiple servers accessing a single file system and replicate a file system to two physically distant servers, while automatically keeping them in sync. While this is possible on Windows or Solaris it is considerably more expensive than the comparable Linux solutions.
Linux for print servers?
Using a print server, rather than the print queue mechanism available as part of most operating systems, lets users submit print requests to an external queue. Fulfilment doesn't require the user to keep their computer powered on and connected.
Linux for web servers?
For companies already running Linux workstations, network security or file, print or other application servers, many system administrators find Linux-based web servers are a natural progression. Most commercial Linux operating systems include the Apache HTTP Server (httpd) software.
Apache has been the most popular web server package on the internet for over a decade. More than 70 per cent of all websites on the internet use Apache. Apache is a full http/https web server, ideal for programmers using Perl, PHP or CGI technologies. Apache httpd on Linux has a large number of free and commercial plug-ins, including the SQUID web proxy cache.
Are applications ready?
An obvious question when considering a migration to Linux is whether the line of business applications that a company has been using are available on Linux or if there are any alternatives or any legacy applications that need to be integrated with the open source software.
In most cases they will be. There's a range of over 2,000 applications from vendors from across the entire range of enterprise software that are certified on a commercialized Linux distribution. Most applications that run on UNIX are already available for Linux.
Do you need to be a 'techie' to use Linux?
Linux has had a reputation for being only for 'techies' or having the need for Linux expertise to be able to configure and set up Linux systems. This probably was valid previously with early concerns that it can be more difficult to configure open source systems but this is changing.
However open source vendors have recognised the need for more user-friendly information for installation and system management, and they have invested heavily in how-to guides to make it easier for people from a non-IT background.
But if SMEs don't want to deal with open source directly, or they feel they don't have the resources inhouse, the best solution is to rely on third parties such as the specialist partners of the main Linux vendors who offer complete open source solutions packaged for the business and technology needs of these smaller organisations.
These partners also provide Linux training and support and have the expertise and unrivalled services, delivered by the best consulting, integration and support specialists that help to lower costs and improve productivity for SME businesses.
In fact not only is Linux easier to use than traditional UNIX, it is also easier to use Linux properly than to use Windows properly when it comes to complex infrastructures. Because Linux is a different paradigm compared to Windows when it comes to software development, so it is also a different paradigm with regards to software implementation and support.
Companies find its co-operative support model useful as it lets them collaborate and be part of the development cycle of the software.
Linux on the desktop
Most of the discussion has been around the server so far and it's probably a fair observation that most traction open source companies have, to date, been from UNIX-to-Linux migrations. However, as companies such as Baylis Logistics have found, the merits of an open source alternative are also now beginning to be realised on the desktop.
While the PC has undoubtedly transformed the role IT plays in businesses of every size, as the network has grown and the number of applications used has multiplied, so the complexity and cost of managing the PC infrastructure has spiralled.
Consequently the growth of software-as-a-service and of centrally hosted server-based applications has increased as IT administrators look for more effective and efficient ways of maintaining the network of PCs with the most up-to-date security patches and bug fixes.
Thin client computing, where the network of 'dumb' terminals connect direct to the applications running on a central server, is an ideal alternative to a PC-based solution for a company supporting a large number of desktop machines and where users have the need for specialist applications.
A thin client architecture running Linux has several advantages over a traditional PC-based network:
- much lower hardware and software costs;
- increased software security - much more resistant to viruses and malware;
- increased data security - all data is stored centrally;
- reduced maintenance - all updates can be done centrally on the server;
- greater flexibility - user maintains same experience wherever they log-on.
Building on its rapid success with some of the world's largest and computing-intensive companies, Linux and open source software has reached a level of maturity where it is now able to deliver real cost and performance benefits to businesses of any size.
The ease of management and proven security advantages of Linux, coupled with the excellent customer and technology support provided by Linux vendors and partners, means Linux is undoubtedly SME-ready.

An event that I really look forward to attending each year is the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth. I have been told that it is the eighth largest arts festival in the country, and I can believe it. Main Street is cordoned off along with a couple of the side streets and parking lots for artist, food and bands. This year we did not find anything for ourselves, but did find an album for #1 daughter's wedding pictures from this artist. My daughter is finally marrying the love of her life this June, and V is doing the wedding pictures for her. The album we picked up will be a wonderful presentation for her photos.
An event such as an outdoor arts festival or carnival is a good study people and their awareness of their surroundings. Today there were thousands of folks on Main Street, 99% of them were in Condition White. These folks were oblivious to their surroundings and unprepared for any kind of trouble. Many of the artist were keeping an alert eye on people in and around their booths, but were not quite in Condition Yellow as I understand it. They were alert to the potential of a shop lifter or thief, but not to the potential of a violent encounter. I also noticed a couple other CHL holders, one was so obvious that he may have been an off duty police officer, that were having a good time and enjoying the day. As these guys did not notice me, even though I was staring at them, I will have to say that they also were in Condition White. I did not notice any undercover officers, but we went earlier in the day than usual. Saturday afternoon and on into the evening is when I prefer to go. The people watching is much more interesting. In the evening you know that there are predators around, you just have to identify them. Some will make your hair stand on end as you watch them scan the crowd for prey. The predators will pick up on your attention and notice you out of the crowd, they have their own definition of alertness. The evening also brings out the protectors, the undercover officers, who along with the large presence of uniformed officers strive to keep the crowd safe.
The Main Street Arts Festival is a very safe and family friendly event. The City of Fort Worth is to be commended for being able to host this high quality art event year after year. This is an event that you can feel comfortable bringing the entire family, and a great way to introduce your teen-aged children to the arts. The purpose of this commentary is not to scare you away from events such as this, but to simply remind you to always be alert to your surroundings and to the potential of danger, wherever you may be.
V and I will be going to the Sawdust Arts Festival and the Pageant of the Masters later this Summer. I have to tell you that the Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival is right up there with the best California has to offer. As an added bonus, in Fort Worth you do not have to mess with the ridiculous anti gun laws of California. If it were not for the fact that my Parents live in Oceanside, I would not be visiting CA.
Just in case you are interested, my favorite art gallery in Fort Worth is The Milan Gallery.
