Mexico City with iEmpathize

I have been promising this post for over a month, uh make that two months (the date on this post is when I started writing it), to various people so I am finally getting this done! Having this post half done for so long has kept me from blogging many other things. This post is going to end up a bit long, but for the skimmers out there I promise a lot of photos. For the rest of you, grab a cup of tea and have a read.

As many of you know in March I took a trip down to Mexico City with iEmpathize. If you haven't heard of iEmpathize before now please take second to follow the link and read about who they are and what they are up to.

When I volunteered for the trip I really had not a clue what we would be doing, but I knew I wanted to get involved with this organization and I was feeling called to commit myself to the trip.

Our team, composed of 7 people - representing 7 local faith communities - came together, meeting as a group for the first time when we all arrived at the airport. We left the US on Monday, February 28th and returned on Sunday, March 6th. We spent some time getting to know each other on our way down to Mexico City and getting settled in at the hotel.

That first evening, Brad, the President/Founder of iEmpathize, shared with us the "plan" (in quotes because when one is traveling a plan is always tentative) for the week. We would be taking the iEmpathize multimedia exhibit to various locations through out the city and, on the side, trying to lay out some plans for upcoming summer trips.

The exhibit itself (shown above) is designed to provide information and a personal connection to human trafficking... to move people from sympathy to empathy. This is done by having striking photographs, artifacts from the lives of those who were trafficked, and an a video discussing the real issues. The video features the story of a rescued girl, and Mexican congress woman Rosi Orozco explaining hte current human trafficking issues in Mexico.

That first evening Brad also shared with us Psalm 10. It really helped my mind and heart come to a place where it could grasp that idea of what we were fighting for that week in the name of Christ's love and justice. Please take a moment to mediate on that passage, read it slowly, understand it.

Our first full day in the city we headed to the Mexican congress to set up the exhibit. iEmpathize works closely with Congresswoman Rosi Orozco, who started the safe home for girls rescued from sex trafficking, Camino a Casa. She was first an activist who decided she would be most effective in helping children by running for congress. This is the safe home that iEmpathize works to raise funds and awareness for in Mexico City.

It was important to share the exhibit at congress at this specific time because new laws were being proposed regarding sex trafficking. Rosi was working to pass laws that are more effective in prosecuting pimps and traffickers and keeping them in prison. The good news is the bill has passed their senate and moved on the house.

The exhibit was opened with a press conference and a ribbon cutting. Present was the First Lady of Cancun, the First Lady of Tijuana, the head of the Council for Tourism, Congresswoman Orozco, and one more person I am forgetting (sorry, that is why I shouldn't wait over a month to write this stuff up).

The iEmpathize exhibit was up for a day and half in the entry area of congress. We also sat in on a meeting where the former First Lady of Columbia explained how harsher human trafficking laws have taken effect in in Columbia and what that looks like now and how they are enforced.

We also spent a day at the Attorney General's Office. The Attorney General's Office works with the girls who want to prosecute their pimps and helps them fight their case.

I found the press conference that Congresswoman Orozco had at the Attorney General's Offices to be very interesting. She walked through the exhibit with the press explaining the stories behind nearly each artifact and photo.

The last two days our exhibit was up for the congregation from Casa Sobre La Roca to view. They had a conference that weekend and their weekly Sunday gathering. This organization works closely with Rosi and the safe home, but because it is so large it can be difficult to communicate to all the members. Seeing the exhibit helped to bring greater understanding and more information to this congregation.

During the week we also spent time with the girls from the safe home, ate wonderful food, and spent time getting to know the directors of the home. We worked on looking at hotels for next month's trips and did a little site seeing down town.

I feel the need to have a nice of wrap up for this post, but I don't have anything profound to say. Human trafficking is wrong, awful, and it DOES happen - more than most people are willing to recognize, and yes, even here in the US. You, reading this, have the ability to help fight it - whether with prayer, donating your time, donating your abilities, donating money, or educating others. Get the word out, we need to speak up for those whose voices are being silenced.

  1. Emmy... I just stumbled across your blog. Great memories and you were such an important part of that trip!

Inspiron 531 and Windows 7 Compatibility - General Hardware - Desktop - Dell Community

Inspiron 531 and Windows 7 Compatibility

Desktop computer Forums (Audio, General Hardware, Video)

Inspiron 531 and Windows 7 Compatibility

This question has suggested answer(s)

What exactly does it mean that this system is not compatible with Windows 7? Does it mean the drivers that came with it won't work? How would I find out what those individual drivers are and whether they're truly incompatible? Microsoft's compatibility tool tells me that I can safely install Windows 7, does that mean I can use the drivers anyway?
I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me on this matter. I apparently am not allowed to ask Dell directly any questions like this unless I am under warranty.. not that they have answered any emails in the first place.
Thank you.

  • Hi Aiatar,

    If the upgrade advisor tool says your system is compatible, then you know you don't have any incompatible hardware. Whether you'll be able to find all the drivers to enable all the functionality you have now is a different question, but in many cases, Vista drivers work fine.

    What I suggest you do is perform a complete backup, then install Windows 7 and see what drivers were not provided. Given that much older systems than yours have been shown to work fine with Windows 7, I really think you'll be fine.

  • Aiatar

    What exactly does it mean that this system is not compatible with Windows 7?

    If Dell says it's not compatible with Windows 7, it means they don't support it for use with Windows 7. Windows 7 will still install and run properly, even if you have to download the chipset drivers from the hardware vendors like I did for my Vostro 220s.

  • Windows 7 is fully compatible with an Inspiron 531.  I'm running both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 on two Inspiron 531 computers.  For the most part all the drivers came with Windows 7.  Had only one issue with installing the 64 bit version.  No Away Mode driver, so I installed a null driver.

    Vostro 460 – Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.4Ghz - 16GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz – Kingston 480GB SATA 3 SSD – Western Digital 1TB SATA 3 HDD – ASUS GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB DDR5 – 16X DVD-RW – 16X DVD-ROM - Antec 550W PSU - Windows 10 Pro x64 - Dell E2211H 22" Flat Panel Monitor

  • Windows 7 runs on most systems.

    The Main issues are Audio Cards and Video Cards and Ram and Disk Space.

    If you only have a 40 gig drive and 512 megs of ram there is your first hurdle.

    If you dont have a DX9 or better compatable video card with 128 megs or more of video ram there's your 2nd Hurdle.

    If you have ISA cards or Sound cards that are not supported in WIN7 you may have to buy a PCI or USB sound card.

    If you have an Older modem you may need to buy a USB modem for faxing and dial up access.

    I have installed 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7 on many OLDER dell's like GX260 etc.

    The main issues are ram and speed.

    You don't have to buy a brand new machine to run Windows 7.

    Personally I Recommend an AGP or PCI-E system with 1.5Ghz Pentium 4 and 2 Gigs Ram with 80 gig hard drive OR LARGER

    from 2006 or later.   Pre 2004 machines are limited to 120 gig IDE Drives.

    An Optiplex GX280 or  Dimension 4700 series is a good starting point.

    Ive installed on GX520, GX620, GX7XX series as well as Dimension 4700,8400 etc.

    Windows 7 system requirements

    If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

    • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

    • 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

    • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

    • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver (Geforce FX5200/Radeon 9600)

    Additional requirements to use certain features:

    • Internet access (fees may apply)

    • Depending on resolution, video playback may require additional memory and advanced graphics hardware

    • Some games and programs might require a graphics card compatible with DirectX 10 or higher for optimal performance (Geforce 8600/Radeon 2600XT)

    • For some Windows Media Center functionality a TV tuner and additional hardware may be required

    • Windows Touch and Tablet PCs require specific hardware

    • HomeGroup requires a network and PCs running Windows 7

    • DVD/CD authoring requires a compatible optical drive (Dual Layer Drive is Recommended)

    • BitLocker requires Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2

    • BitLocker To Go requires a USB flash drive

    • Windows XP Mode requires an additional 1 GB of RAM and an additional 15 GB of available hard disk space.

    • Music and sound require audio output (XP/VISTA drivers installed in compatability mode usually address this)

    Product functionality and graphics may vary based on your system configuration. Some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    PCs with multi-core processors:
    Windows 7 was designed to work with today's multi-core processors. All 32-bit versions of Windows 7 can support up to 32 processor cores, while 64‑bit versions can support up to 256 processor cores.

    PCs with multiple processors (CPUs):
    Commercial servers, workstations, and other high-end PCs may have more than one physical processor. Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate allow for two physical processors, providing the best performance on these computers. Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, and Home Premium will recognize only one physical processor.

  • Thank you so much for responding, you put my mind at ease and I am going to give it a go with vista drivers.

  • FWIW I installed Windows 7 x64 on an Athlon64 3500+ with 1gb RAM with no problems. Although 2gb is supposed to be the minimum, it is not enforced.

A Summery of Taiwan's Public Art Development

The source of the concept of public art could probably be traced back to the western pubic sculptures. You see this kind of sculptures in the existing religious constructions, public plazas or memorial constructions in Europe, for example, in the St. Marr's Square, San Lorenzo and Piazza del Popolo in Italy. However, this kind of artworks often carry practical functions of "in memory of" or "publicity" and the purpose for such artworks is mostly for beautifying the space or buildings they are staged. Most of these installations were done either by the government or the nobles which made the spirit of pubic art at that time different from that in the modern days.

The concept of the formation of the public art was traced back to 1930 when the new Roosevelt administration used "public art" as an independent phrase for the firs time and it had then become a national policy. The purpose of this policy was to help the nation survive the bad economy and stabilize its sources of income. In 1959, the regulations of "The Percentage of Art " promulgated by the US government further stipulated that 1% of the costs of all municipal constructions must be contributed to installation of art. In Taiwan, the main law of public art also referenced the US laws and stipulated in Article 9 of "Law of Encouraging and Rewarding Cultural and Art Enterprises" promulgated in 1998 that "owners of public constructions should install artworks in the construction to beautify the building and environment and the value of such artworks should worth no less than 1% of the building's construction costs.". Council for Cultural Affairs, Executive Yen promulgated "Public Art Installation Policies" in 1998, embarking the era that the government started to invest lots of resources in promoting public art. The regulations have become the major law for promoting public art.

Atletico wanted me more - Alderweireld

September 3, 2013
ESPN FC: Analysing Liverpool's triple signing

Toby Alderweireld says he turned down offers from other clubs, including Liverpool, to sign for Atletico Madrid from Ajax.

The highy-rated 23-year-old was one of the regular staples of the summer transfer window, with regular speculation also linking him with a move to Tottenham or Everton. But the Belgium international finally signed for Atletico on Monday evening after leaving Ajax for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £5.9 million.

Alderweireld told the Spanish media that his new side had made the biggest effort to win him over.

"The club have been following me now for two or three weeks, and you could see they really wanted me," he said. "That is why I turned down approaches from other teams.

"Liverpool, for example, appeared in the last few days, but the truth is that Atletico made a huge effort to convince me."

Alderweireld added his international colleague Thibaut Courtois had helped him decide to move to the Estadio Vicente Calderon.

"Courtois is naturally very happy with my arrival," he said. "In the end I am coming to 'his Atletico'. He said positive things to me as I was studying the offer. He said it was a club with great fans and that he was very happy playing at the Calderon."

Liverpool did complete deals for two defenders on transfer deadline day, with Thiago Ilori and Mamadou Sakho both arriving at Anfield. Ilori, a 20-year-old centre-back joins from Sporting Lisbon for a fee of around £7 million, while Sakho has left Paris Saint-Germain to sign a long-term contract at Anfield for a fee in the region of £12 million. Victor Moses also arrived from Chelsea on loan.

Lytro - new era in photography?

Imagine photos that are always sharp. Imagine camera that doesn't need to focus on the target, because images can be re-focused as you are watching them. Now imagine that it's real - and its name is Lytro.

Lytro is an innovative digital camera that captures "light field" instead of traditional pictures. Light field cannot be captured by standard cameras; it requires special type of sensor - "light field sensor".

Lytro is an innovative, very small camera that allows you to take pictures fast and effectively. The technology behind Lytro is described on Lytro website.

Take a look at a sample photo taken using Lytro technology. To change focus, simply click on the picture:

Lytro is a great example of innovative thinking. The team took a commonly used, popular product, rethought its weaknesses and turned them into their strengths. In my opinion, Lytro might start new era in photography. And what do you think?

THUNDERCATS the movie press information!

Arthur Rankin, Jr., creator of such holiday TV classics as RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER, FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS, THUNDERCATS and THE HOBBIT is dealing with a BURGERMEISTER MEISTERBURGER in the form of WARNER BROS. It seems that WARNER BROS. had underpaid RANKIN/BASS in various ways, including 19 years of impermissible $200,000 annual deductions from the pool of revenues from which Rankin's profit participation is paid.

"It was an accounting mistake on WARNER BROS., part, a mistake that the company's accountants readily admit, right down to the penny," said Rankin. "However, WARNER BROS. is now claiming I caught their error too late. So instead of doing the right thing and fairly compensating RANKIN/BASS for helping generate years of viewer enjoyment, not to mention an awful lot of revenue,WARNER hiding behind the statute of limitations."

The dispute dates back to the 1980's, when WARNER BROS. acquired from RANKIN/BASS, the rights to several of the RANKIN/BASS Christmas classics and other animated properties, including the enormously popular 1980's animated television series THUNDERCATS and SILVERHAWKS. The recent WARNER BROS. home video DVD box set releases of THUNDERCATS sold over a million DVDs and they are getting ready to release SILVERHAWKS. Mr. Rankin even graciously appeared on Set #2 of THUNDERCATS in a documentary and did the same for the WARNER BROS. Deluxe DVD release of THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS (Which is also available in a new box set).

"This is obviously not the right thing to do to a creator of such wonderful programming and the rest of his staff," says Rick Goldschmidt RANKIN/BASS Historian/Biographer. "As in all RANKIN/BASS specials, writer Romeo Muller would reform the villains. This villain needs to be reformed."

"As far as I am concerned," continues Rankin, "There is no question as to what is right and what is wrong. If you take something by mistake, you put it back. You don't get to keep it. We put those kinds of ethics into our shows for children. Maybe the folks at WARNER BROS. should watch a few of them."

When the feature film gets can bet this will be part of the press/promotion!

TRINOVANTES (commonly Trinobantes)

Online Encyclopedia
Originally appearing in Volume V27, Page 287 of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.
Spread the word: it!
TRINOVANTES (commonly Trinobantes), a powerful British tribe about 50 B.C.—A.D. 50 dwelling north and north-east of London, rivals and neighbours of the Catuvellauni. When Caesar invaded Britain J4 B.C. they joined him against their domestic rivals and it is possible (though not certain) that half a century after Caesar's departure they succumbed to them. Certainly they were conquered by Rome in A.D. 43 and joined in Boadicea's revolt in 61. In the tribal division of Roman Britain given by Ptolemy their land included Camulodunum (Colchester), but nothing more is known of them. But their name plays a part in medieval legends and romances. There it was interpreted as Troy Novant, the " new Troy," and connected with the names of the Trojans Brutus and Corineus who were reputed to have given their names to Britain and Cornwall. (F. J. H.)

Loving yourself is the action of Self Sovereignty, which is the natural state of embodying God’s Eternal Love.

Q. I wonder if you could please speak a little bit about krystic qualities/characteristics of male and female. As we are working on the HG sacred union within, I think many of us would like some more clarity on what this may look like. Beyond the gender distortions, what does a monad embodied female or male on earth "look like". I know everyone is an individual, but I feel some general outlines may be helpful. Thank you SO much for all you are and for all you do.

A. Thank you! This is a fantastic question and certainly worth sharing dialogue to explore how we each can make productive movement forward into this direction within ourselves and within all of the relationships we are interconnected and interacting. In studying the Law of One Practices, the Relationship Mastery Guidelines, Self Awareness Guidelines and GSF Behaviors one will find the key notes of these qualities. This helps us establish patterns to which we can learn to develop more skill with compassionate communication, discerning ego judgments from exercising personal choice and discernment, and learning how to create more enjoyable relationships that are productive and harmonious.

I have no direct experience with studies of Non-Violent Communication, as these skills are natural to me. However, I find that NVC is extremely helpful in their basic philosophy which resembles Krystic signature. The emphasis from their perspective is similar however, without incorporating the spiritual consciousness development model that is connected to these values. The NVC baseline is an agreement to a shared humanitarian philosophy. That humanitarian philosophy (perception) is assumed as an agreement to exist as the core characteristics inherent in all human beings:

  • All human beings share the basic same needs
  • Our world offers sufficient resources for meeting everyone's basic needs
  • All actions are attempts to meet needs
  • Feelings point to needs being met or unmet
  • All human beings have the capacity for compassion
  • Human beings enjoy giving and being acknowledged (valued) for who they are
  • Human beings meet needs through many interdependent relationships
  • Human beings change and transform
  • Choice is internal
  • The most direct path to peace is through self-connection ( i.e. consciousness development)

This life philosophy is met with focused intentions to express communication and behaviors with an open heart which is congruent with these VALUES:

  • Open-Hearted Living
  • Self-compassion
  • Expressing from the heart
  • Receiving with compassion
  • Prioritizing connection
  • Moving beyond "right" and "wrong" to using needs-based assessments
  • Choice, Responsibility, Peace
  • Taking responsibility for our feelings
  • Taking responsibility for our actions
  • Living in peace with unmet needs ( acceptance)
  • Increasing capacity for meeting needs
  • Increasing capacity for meeting the present moment
  • Sharing Power and Resources (Partnership)
  • Caring equally for everyone’s needs ( Group consciousness)
  • Using force minimally and to protect (defend) rather than to superimpose beliefs, punish, or get what we want without mutual agreement

Krystic qualities have also been described in the GSF Behaviors from the ES Guardian Perspective, as the antidote to AD ego behavior resulting from mind control programming and lack of knowledge and self-awareness. To establish mental discipline in order to cultivate and develop more of GSF or Krystic qualities here are the suggested tools:

Step One: Develop Self Awareness of Inner and Outer Dialogues through the Witness. Refocusing mental perception from Negative Thoughts to its Positive Polarity through Unconditional Love and Forgiveness towards the self and others. Note: focusing on positive thoughts to replace negative thoughts are the first stage of ego discipline, the second stage is applying neutrality or neutral association through sustained focus, as in inner quiet found during meditation. This is because many people in ego behavior misrepresent neutrality as dissociative reaction to external events or others feelings. Disassociation and neutrality is not the same state of consciousness, one is disconnected from circumstances, while the latter is connected through awareness, through observer. This is called engaged detachment.

Step Two: Apply these practices when interacting with family, friends and interpersonal relationships. Tools: Compassionate Witnessing, Relationship Mastery, 12 Keys to Self Awareness, Daily Mental Body Tools, GSF Behaviors. ES Core Triad practice, The Krystal Aegis Section

Step Three: Apply these practices when interacting with Colleagues, Businesses, and External Organizations of which you are apart. This is the process of learning how to apply these skills to a community or group dynamic.  Tools: Relationship Mastery, Self Awareness/Compassionate Witness, Mental Body Tools, GSF Behaviors, ES Core Triad Practice and the Krystal Aegis Section

Step Four: Take steps to clear and heal your emotional state, as well as mind, body and spirit, when you recognize inner pain, or inner violence towards self or others, to inquire on the nature and source of the pain or fear. Continue to develop skillset to transcend pain and fear and improve communication skills and lifestyle habits. We have a bevy of tools here in ES to help with that process.

When these skills are mastered as a way of everyday life, they are much easier to apply in husband-wife/partner/spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend/Alchemical union. Some changes that are unique in these types of Krystic partnerships extend further to extremely deep transparency, honesty and intuitive knowing in the evolving dynamics of the relationship. This relationship is ever evolving. Some key descriptors of a Krystic union:

  • Interactions and communications between partners is maintained with mutually respect, honoring and transparency. There is nothing that is intentionally hidden, deceived, contrived or manipulated. If it is subconscious, it will surface and both parties will gently recognize “it”, then establish the guidelines of bringing that subconscious material into conscious awareness and reconciliation. Ambiguity and confusion when identified as a weakness is directly dissolved with the mutual desire to create and develop consistent energetic clarity.
  • Compassionate, clear and loving communications are ever present and circumstances are engaged with in present time awareness. There is no sarcasm, “hitting below the belt”, internal or external types of violence that play out. Communications and behaviors are always “safe” based on mutual trust and integrity to speak the truth from an open heart and willingness to be emotionally vulnerable and intimate. Safe communications include holding nonjudgmental space within the rawest and most emotionally challenging material that most couples tend to avoid.
  • The inspiration to serve, love and give to your partners spiritual development/ personal mission, heath, happiness and wellbeing is a natural expression that emanates from selfless giving and sustained nourishment.
  • Emotional issues or energetic conflicts are calmly and accurately represented devoid of drama, blame or exaggeration. It is seen for what it is.
  • Purposeful direction of each partners resources ( time, energy, attention and such) are studied, explored and discussed on equal terms. Resources shared by both parties as individual beings and as collaborative “energetic” beings in projects or other types of workloads are discussed as the proper use of the couples “proceeds”. Big investments are shared decisions made in energetic alignment to the couple’s purpose, development or well being.
  • Peace, harmony, friendship and nourishment in an oasis setting (couple’s field together) is the energetic quality and deeply intimate feeling of these relationships. Any type of verbal, mental, emotional, physical abuse is nonexistent.
  • Expectations are not present. This is replaced with a natural energetic flow of balance which both parties assume active-passive exchanges which are ever evolving and changing to suit the environmental needs. There is no such thing as harping on your partner to do “chores”, because each one shares the responsibility to keep the mutual space comfortable and peaceful.
  • Nonverbal communication, such as telepathy, psychic impressions and awareness of the environmental conditions are experienced by both partners. If one partner hurts, the other partner can feel the nature of the energetic pain. This creates more responsibility in the integrity of actions, as both parties are dramatically impacted.
  • All forms of shared intimacy are nourishing and enjoyable, and are energetically harmonizing and healing for both parties. Both parties are receiving energetically balanced nourishment and therefore there is never a rejection or emotional aloofness required to create boundary. All forms of expressed affection and appreciation for partners are omnipresent.
  • Mystery, seduction and charisma, do not have a place in the transparency of a Krystic relationship. Intimate bonding is stemming from unconditional love based on mutually clear, open, honest assessment of circumstances and of both partners. Fantasy projections, overly romanticized ideals, addictions, hero/damsel in distress, savior/martyr (mostly fictionalized from VV archetypes) have no place in this relationship.

Clearly these are new relationship templates being created on this planet, and they take an advanced skillset in the basic tools to clear negative ego before this can be experienced and achieved. It is important to realize this kind of clarity in a relationship can be experienced, and honor the relationships that we have had in our lifetime that have been necessary lessons and given the opportunity to cultivate the wisdom that is required in future relationships. Every relationship is an opportunity to gain self energetic mastery and self knowledge and is an important stepping stone to spiritual consciousness development that leads to inner energetic balance and then outer sacred union, or what we call in ES as levels of the Hieros Gamos.

We hope the below tools of 12 Practices of Self Awareness and GSF Behavior model is inspiring, supportive and helpful.

Meditate and give attention to these twelve areas to practice better personal self awareness. When you are self aware you are INFORMED and CLEAR. What we endeavor at this time is to move away from confusion and move towards CLARITY.

1.         ACCEPTANCE: Learn to practice acceptance and adaptability to where you find yourself in your life right now. Believe in a Higher Power and a purpose greater than your Self. Be willing to choose something else and invite other possibilities into your life. Let go of needing to be right, needing to be hurt and accept the circumstances and people involved, right where they are now.

2.         ARCHETYPES OF DRAMA: Deepening the awareness and observation of our self as we identify the archetypes and characters that run around in our mental ideas and personality that we show the world. These characters are the key players in creating your emotional drama reactions and their sabotaging behavior patterns. We can especially use the HGS Collective Mind pages to identify, locate and remove and repair (ILRR) obsolete and harmful archetypes of drama and trauma, from running our lives in our present, past and future. Get them out of the driver’s seat of the negative ego and hand the authority over to your Avatar Christ self. Resign from the mind control matrix by forfeiting the archetypes of drama as a governing authority over your identity.

3.         ATTENTION : Where do you focus your attention? Where you focus your attention is what you make your priority. Mastering your focus is mastering your freedom. Meditation is the skill of focusing 100% of your energy and attention in one specific area in the present moment. How long can you sustain your focused attention in one area through meditation?

4.         COMPASSIONATE WITNESS : Through the sustained state of the neutral observer one becomes the point of god’s light dispensed as loving compassion through your body and into the world and towards others. The Power of Compassion is directed naturally by the intelligent design of God’s Living Essence when embodied in a human that has achieved a neutral observer mode. This living essence heals bodies, changes timelines (elevates outcomes), reveals deception, activates light-body, retrieves soul fragments and connects to the Universal Mind’s Pure Genius in order to resolve all energetic conflict between parties. Intelligently designed to create Unification, its core essence seeks to resolve, reconcile, rehabilitate and harmonize.

5.         CONFRONT BELIEFS: When we are distressed or embroiled in emotional conflicts with others or within circumstances, confront the belief that is creating the pain or distress inside you. What is the thought or belief that is limiting, destructive or creating pain in you? Confront that thought and its belief now. How do you react and feel towards that thought? Is that thought absolutely the factual truth and are you being completely honest with yourself? Who are you if you decide to give up this thought? What thought can you replace that is truly empowering you to move away from that pain and choose something else?

6.         EMOTIONAL BALANCE: Ask to inquire on the inner study of your emotions. The state of one’s emotions determine what kind of experience we are having. It is us that determines the quality of our relationships and the quality of our life by the emotions we are feeling. Our emotions and their lower drives are extremely powerful forces in our lives. Our unresolved emotional conflicts and their fears will keep us from doing the things we love and sabotage our spiritual growth. Our spiritual growth is directly related to our emotional balance. This is why ascension is 99% emotional healing. One must resolve emotional conflicts, wounds, inner fears and pain in order to grow the self-awareness required to become conscious to participate with the spiritual bodies. The soul is the true emotional body, to recover her we must heal her.

7.         FORGIVENESS: To forgive another person or circumstance is the most generous thing one can do for yourself. When we forgive others for perceived transgressions it frees us from the bonds, entanglements and cords which manifest painful patterns such as judgments, resentments, and anger. Forgiving yourself is the most important action one can take to clearing self-sabotaging bonds of victimhood and their painful wounds.

8.         GRATITUDE: Be sure to pay attention to those things in your life that you are grateful for. Give thanks in your heart and verbally to others. When you learn to give your mind a new interpretation of your reality, you begin to see an entirely different world. With this practice of giving gratitude for our lives, we become aware of our personal stories, point of view, emotional states and our power to create. Giving gratitude creates happiness in our heart.

9.         NEUTRAL: Practice finding the impeccability to align fully with your words, thoughts, emotions and deeds. Find the point of power in every circumstance by finding the neutral place of observation. Practice neutral when communicating with other people and pay attention to strong opinions or judgments that may surface. It is you that will pay heavily for those strong opinions or judgments. Find neutrality to learn integrity within the self.

10.       QUIET THE MIND: Stopping the Internal Dialogue. Developing a skills set of directed focus along with quieting the mind to stop the incessant chatter of internal dialogue is required for self-awareness and inner spiritual connection. Can you be a listener rather than a talker? Stop, listen and determine what the message, sensations and feelings mean to you from being internally and externally in complete silence. The Universe is speaking to you in the silence through subtle sensations. What is it saying to you?

11.       RECOVERING PERSONAL POWER: Our personal power is to choose our inner resonance and act upon our guidance regardless what others think or say. We have an extraordinary amount of it at our disposal based upon the choices we make in our perception and the attitudes that we have at every moment. Unfortunately without self-awareness or clarity of purpose, we unknowingly waste our energies and personal power on self-sabotaging agreements. Bring your awareness to every word that comes out of your mouth, and every thought in your mind. Be aware of the congruency of living in alignment to the words you speak. If one learns to be in their personal power and truth, this state of being will teach one to see clearly the agreements that others live by as well. Being in your personal power means that you allow others to choose to be in their personal power also.

12.       SPHERE OF INFLUENCE: This is to pay attention to the impact of one’s personal energies, auric field and body upon others and the environment. As your spiritual growth and bodies expand consciousness, your sphere of influence in the world will also expand. Observe the impact of your light bodies, frequency upon the environment, nature, animals, and other people. As you sense these energetic impacts one may work with these energies to step them down or step them up in natural harmony with the environment. As you become in harmony with the environment, one can become transparent to the group energies which allows the self-organized source light to naturally harmonize the environment and others around you. This brings forth a peaceful, loving and compassionate state of being, as the natural sphere of your influence upon the world.

Once a person becomes self aware they can more easily apply the following GSF behavior in their day to day activities and lifestyle:

 God-Sovereign-Free Behavior (GSF)

1. Empathy and Compassion  3. Emotional Stability  5. Honesty      7. Reality Assessment

2. Mental Openness    4. Responsibility          6. Sovereignty          8. Unified Cooperation

The goal with the above discernment guideline is to identify and locate these spiritually abusive AD behaviors in yourself, others and in any external organization of which you participate and to transform them through practicing GSF behaviors. All decisions one is able to make from an informed position by identifying AD behaviors will increase personal discernment and energetic resonance of GSF in one’s life. The only thing any person can change is themselves through their heart responses and behaviors. Change starts within. Identify the Archontic Deception (AD) behavior and apply the GSF antidote below it to transform into spiritually healthy behavior:

(GSF) Empathy and Compassion: We feel connection to life and have compassion for others that feel pain because we can empathize and relate to sensory feelings and emotions. We care about what happens to Life, whether its earth, human beings, animals, nature, plants or trees. We realize that we are a part of something larger and have kindness for ourselves and others, as this end cycle is very challenging for many. With this compassionate understanding we do not allow intentional harm or self-martyrdom in our sphere of influence.

(GSF) Mental Openness: We are able to consider and be open to many different ways of being, thinking or life philosophy without feeling threatened, defensive or sarcastic. This is a state of non-judgment. Discoveries and new learning opportunities are valued as desirable and supported in others. Mental flexibility for greater intelligence and creative problem solving is available for the mutual beneficial exchanging of ideas. Mental openness allows intuitive development and higher sensory perception.

(GSF) Emotional Stability: We accept emotional states as impermanent and like a beautiful painting we can choose and accept emotions as a wide spectrum of color. In pain or joy we can apply learning and appreciate that we have feelings, senses and wide emotional spectrums. When feeling pain or disappointment we have no need to lash out and harm others. We are aware to allow feeling emotion without over identifying with that state to points of overwhelm. Through emotional balance (soul healing) we do not allow any influential substance (i.e. drug, food, sex, shopping) to overtake us or keep us dependent through emotional addiction.

(GSF) Responsibility: We are accountable to our actions and accept responsibility for our words, commitments and energies. We are realistic and dependable only committing to that which we are capable and are genuinely sincere. We are aware of how our language and behavior impact others, the environment and act humbly. We are conscientious in everything that has our energy stamp and recognize to create quality in our life and with exchanges. Quality is a byproduct of energetic responsibility.

(GSF) Honesty: The ability to be honest with one self, honest in the assessment of others, honest in the circumstances of reality through a commitment to emotional clarity. Stating and representing the true conditions of circumstances as neutrally and harmlessly as possible. We know that honesty is always the true pathway in our relationship with God that leads us towards spiritual maturity and freedom.

(GSF) Autonomy or Sovereignty: To achieve the strong foundation within the spiritual self to become confident in facing life decisions and making choices supported as a self-governed and spiritually motivated individual. With self-autonomy we do not need to manipulate or control others. Within the world context, it is the capacity of a clear individual to make an informed, un-coerced decision. God Source engenders the knowledge and growth to spiritual autonomy when in partnership with Divine Will and Service. God is your partner in Love and parent in Life.

(GSF) Reality Assessment: To be able to assess the current environment and conditions realistically and truthfully in order to make informed choices without needing to control the outcome or engage in power conflicts. To discern conditions based on internal resonance and not external judgments or mass acceptance. In the spiritual context, to feel/read the energy signature in order to integrate its intelligent information with the external circumstances, in so that an informed decision can be made.

(GSF) Unified Cooperation: Recognizing the interdependence between all living things with the desire to engender cooperation between groups and all living systems. Cooperation is valued in order to unify the whole in energetically beneficial exchanges for creating holistic systems. Cooperation becomes the natural behavior to align groups synchronistically in a naturally self-organizing system arranged upon a core spiritual mission or humanitarian philosophy. Unified cooperation is only successful in environments of honesty, transparency where self-interest is sublimated to the caring of the larger group interest. In commitment to heart based transparency and non-judgment, group trust can be formed and bonded.

The Spirit of Christ

As it is understood there are demonic spirits that live in the internal structures of ego (which cause harm to our mind and body) one would be motivated to learn how to create the internal houses for the Spirit of Christ. As the Universal Law of Structure states; we can build our house in so that the spirit we design it for can reside. This is what it means to create a House for Christ and to purify ourselves for the Spirit of Christ. The Spirit of Christ requires a House in which to dwell inside our mind and body.

The goal for spiritual protection is to dismantle the houses of ego, evict the demonic and predator forces, and replace them with the Houses of Christ. State your authority and intention to be of service to God and to build a strong relationship with one’s Inner Spiritual Light and Christos. As you devote your attention and focus on the quality of the Spirits of Christ, the Houses for Christ grow stronger. Where we focus our energy and attention its energetic form materializes. Thus, greatly increasing one’s relationship to God and experiencing energetic balance which returns us into feelings of self-love, peace and happiness.

The Spirits of Christ

1. Purity 2. Generosity 3. Patience 4. Kindness
5. Discipline/Conservation 6. Diligence 7. Humility

    • Dismantle the House of Lust/Addiction: Evict the Spirit of Lust and Addiction, Call in the Spirit of Purity. Ask God to help you build the House of Purity and live with sexual ethics in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Wrath/Rage: Evict the Spirit of Wrath and Rage, Call in the Spirit of Patience. Ask God to help you build the House of Patience in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Greed/Avarice: Evict the Spirit of Greed and Call in the Spirit of Generosity. Ask God to help you build the House of Generosity in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Envy/Jealousy: Evict the Spirit of Envy and Jealousy and Call in the Spirit of Kindness. Ask God to help you build the House of Kindness in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Gluttony/Waste: Evict the Spirit of Gluttony and Waste and Call in the Spirit of Discipline and Conservation. Ask God to help you build the House of Discipline and Conservation in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Laziness/Discouragement: Evict the Spirit of Laziness and Discouragement and Call in the Spirit of Diligence. Ask God to help you build the House of Diligence in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.
    • Dismantle the House of Pride/Self Importance: Evict the Spirit of Pride and Self Importance and Call in the Spirit of Humility. Ask God to help you build the House of Humility in your mind and body aligned with Christ Spirit.

May we come to know the strength, protection and peace of God on the earth. Until next stay in the luminosity of your Avatar Christ heart path.  Please be kind to yourself and each other. GSF!

With a Loving heart, Lisa

More on "versus"

I am more convinced that versus is an English coordinator and that, perhaps, it has never been a preposition. For one thing, I can only find three examples of versus X used as a complement. The first two are here:
In truth, however, precisely nowhere does man today any longer encounter himself, i.e., his essence.... " (n12) BEING VERSUS AMERICA # A profound gulf between Heidegger and Tocqueville becomes obvious as soon as we compare their views on America. (from "Tocqueville's Practical Reason", by Hancock, Ralph. Perspectives on Political Science Fall 98, Vol. 27 Issue 4, p. 212.)
The redox behaviour of 1,2- and 1,3-dithiadiazoles (D), with a wide variety of R substituents has been studied by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) Most of the compounds (D) behave as reversible redox systems. Typical half-wave reduction potentials for 1,2 compounds are versus the standard calomel electrode (SCE) while those for the 1,3-isomers are 0.2V. (from the BNC; not sure about the original source)
The first one is rather hard to parse, and I'm not sure it's relevant. The second strikes me as ungrammatical. I'll get to the third below. I might turn up more examples with more searching, but none of the examples from the OED, or any of the other dictionaries I've checked, show a complement use.

Nor can I find much evidence of it being modified. I did find one example of this is just versus a computer, which is also a complement. And another example modified with just and functioning as an adjunct.
The cloth spider is lossy and this inherent loss results in hysteretic behavior with respect to reaction force versus displacement. Hysteretic refers to changing behavior of the spider, not just versus displacement but also the direction of the displacement (Fig. 1).
In general, then, versus doesn't behave very much like a preposition, and I would speculate that it this is not a new development.

China to continue to guard against hot money inflows in H2

Source:   Time:

BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's foreign-exchange regulator pledged Tuesday that it will continue to guard against speculative money inflows in the second half of this year as illegal foreign exchange transactions rose in the first half.

In a statement posted on its website, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) said it will continue to combat illegal cross-border money flows in the second half of the year in the face of complicated domestic and overseas economic situations.

The SAFE found 1,865 cases of illegal foreign exchange businesses in the first half of the year, up 26.2 percent from a year earlier, the statement said.

The money involved increased 26.9 percent year-on-year to more than 16 billion U.S. dollars from January to June, it said.

China's forex regulatory authorities imposed administrative fines of 260 million yuan (40.7 million U.S. dollars) in the first half of this year, exceeding the total of the whole of last year, according to the statement.

  • The Economist of the UK publishes opinion piece by President Tsai in The World in 2017
  • Date
At the invitation of The Economist magazine, President Tsai Ing-wen contributed an opinion piece, entitled "Turning Taiwan into a tiger again," to The World in 2017. In this piece she shares her views about what lies ahead for Taiwan in 2017.

Since the 1980s, The Economist magazine has annually published this year-end feature, which is mainly a collection of observations and predictions from around the world by political figures, business leaders, scientists, artists, and journalists from magazines and other media organizations regarding developments and trends likely to materialize in various fields during the coming year. The feature is published in 90 countries and translated into more than 30 languages, and the English version has a global circulation of over 2 million.

Following is President Tsai’s article:

Turning Taiwan into a tiger again

In 1996 Taiwan held its first-ever presidential election, marking our transition into a full democracy. There was an atmosphere of optimism and change across the country. The economy was strong, with low unemployment and rising middle-class incomes. As a trade negotiator, I saw first-hand how Taiwan was overcoming hurdles – both domestic and international – to joining the World Trade Organisation.

Taiwan was a bright light in a sea of darkness. But lately, for many Taiwanese, that bright light has dimmed amid an uncertain global environment. I now find myself Taiwan’s leader at a time of vast economic and political challenges. Slow growth, rising inequality and new security threats are testing economic and political institutions around the world. Taiwan, no less than other countries, will be defined by how it responds to these difficulties.

In 2016 the people of Taiwan entrusted my Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) with the twin tasks of reform and renewal. We want to make Taiwan an Asian tiger once again.

My plan for 2017 is for Taiwan to renew its role as a pioneer, preserving our basic social safety net while revitalising the economy with a new development model. We will simultaneously work to reform political institutions, ensuring that economic and social transformations are combined with transparency and a strong
democratic culture.

Taiwan’s social safety net is on the brink of bankruptcy. My pension reform aims to make it sustainable and increase the support for the poorest. Taiwan has different pension programmes for different professions: an unfair practice which fuels social divisions. Changing this system will take some effort, but the DPP has a clear
democratic mandate to do so.

The proportion of income spent on housing by Taiwanese people has risen sharply amid a real-estate bubble. My administration will help by providing 200,000 units of affordable social housing by 2024 via a public-private investment plan. Our ageing population will also receive new community centres. Our overall goal is to redistribute public resources for a fairer welfare system.

My economic plan for 2017 focuses on upgrading industries and overcoming stagnation. We are laying the groundwork for a more inclusive economic model based on innovation, job creation and the idea that growth should benefit everyone, not just the few. But we will draw on Taiwan’s existing strengths: a mature industrial
cluster, R&D capabilities and flexible smaller businesses.

Through smart investment, the government is integrating public, private and global resources to nurture industries of the future: the “internet of things”, biotechnology, smart machinery, green energy and defense. A natural extension of our current industrial capacities, these sectors will enable Taiwan to compete better in the future global economy.

We are refining our capital market and making financial policy more inviting to innovation-oriented foreign investment. We are also changing how we use human capital by providing greater support to entrepreneurs and tech startups. Our new technology minister, a 35-year-old former hacker, provides a direct line between them and the government. We have also loosened regulations on foreign professionals so that Taiwan can become a regional talent hub for emerging industries.

Open for business
To complement this economic transition, the government must take the lead in opening new markets for our products and services. We are stepping up engagement with ASEAN, south Asia, Australia and New Zealand via our “New Southbound Policy”. This focuses on education, agriculture, culture, tourism and other people-to-people interactions beyond trade and investment.

We have sought to demonstrate that Taiwan is ready to join multilateral trade regimes: by reducing red tape, entrenching intellectual- property rights and streamlining the procedures governing investment. We will seek accession to the Trans-Pacific Partnership if and when it becomes available. We are also working towards bilateral agreements with important trading partners.

All of this depends on a stable regional environment. We will seek dialogue with all interested parties, including China, to build a framework for peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. My cross-strait policy is to establish consistent, predictable and sustainable relations under the existing constitutional framework.

Ultimately, my administration will be judged by our ability to reform and renew this country. This will demand that we deftly balance a multitude of interests across generations, classes and ethnicities, all in an uncertain international environment.

Yet we go forward with confidence, trusting that our hard-won democracy will rise to the task. Taiwan’s reform and renewal will gather pace in 2017.

Please Pray

I just got word that my Nephew, John-Paul was in a horrible accident. He has several broken bones, pelvis, knee caps, and a colapsed lung. He and my sil and bil are all out of town. Please pray that the Lord will give them guidance and wisdom as to how to handle this situation and that they will be able to get him home asap so that they can get started on the physical healing end of things. Praise God that there were no head injures. He was the passenger in the car and the driver, his cousin, was not hurt.
Thank you so much,

Southern Heart said...

Oh wow, Linda. I'm so, so sorry to hear this. Please know that I will keep him, and the entire family, in my thoughts and prayers, and let me know if there is more that I can do.

Hugs, Andrea

MOM said...

I have added John-Paul, Pauline and John to the prayer list and will lift them up without ceasing. My heart goes out to them and the entire Gagnon family, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents. May Gods peace be present in their lives. Also remembers ADAM who is in harms way for our freedom. May Christs presents be felt by all as we celebrate his birth.

Enon Hall

These journal entries track our progress as we undertake our adventure of restoring this very old home. The main reason for keeping this journal on the web is that we have found that there are very few resources (books or websites) that follow all of the trials and tribulations of restoring an old home...from start to finish.

May 4, 2003

Today we painted the ceiling and walls in the guest bedroom. I told Gay they should call the color "Awful Blue." Why? Because it's awful blue. We're gonna paint the trim white. We'll see... -- Bill

May 11, 2003

Between torrential storms, black-outs and a break for Mothers Day, the only accomplishment at Enon Hall this weekend was a second coat of paint on the guest bedroom walls and a start on the white trim. -- Bill

May 26, 2003

The non-stop raining has really been dampening our spirits...but this weekend we finally got some breaks in the weather. Some showers on Saturday and Sunday and then a gorgeous day today for Memorial Day.

As if I need something else on my "to do" list, I finally hauled out the boat for a good bottom cleaning and painting. She's been in the water ever since we bought her 3 years ago, but the anti-fouling paint really did a good job of keeping off the barnacles. The prop, however, is just covered. I plan on doing the work myself, so it'll steal some more time away from Enon Hall projects.

The name given to her by her previous owner is BELLS QUEEN. I pulled off a couple of the stick-on letters and wound up with EL QUEEN...which Gay and William didn't think was very funny. Finally we decided to re-christen her as THE VIRGINIA CREEPER in honor of our much prevalent weed and the slow speed of the boat's 18HP diesel engine. Anyway, I hope to get her back in the water quickly so we don't miss too much of the season.

We've been at the Enon Hall restoration project for so long now that some of our earliest projects are now coming due for regular maintenance. I sanded and primed the back porch floor because of some peeling.

Whatever happened with the squeaking windmill? Well, it's still squeaking. I've been trying to find an equipment company that will rent me a 40-foot bucket lift, but so far nobody wants to rent to an individual. My plan is to keep the lift for a month and also use it to finish painting the house.

Gay and William planted some tomato and pepper plants by the smokehouse, in a much smaller plot than last year, so maybe they can keep up with the weeding. You can see the "damn fig bush" behind Gay. It looks like just a bunch of sticks, but actually it's putting out new leaves from the bottom. ("It's aliive!")

And it wouldn't be Memorial Day at Enon Hall without William's annual parade with his cousins. -- Bill

Deja Vu

It's been awhile since I've had to update, as Beavis managed to not be a total jerkass and kept his menagerie of vehicles out of the way for the most part. Until....

I came home from practice and found that goddam horrible truck back in front of our house as if it had never left. The husband is swearing that this time we should call the parking division of the police and have them ticket the damn truck. I thought I'd take pix for backup.

For some reason Beavis has a mini-tire store going on in the bed of the truck. Notice how he's also removed the previous contents(surfboard and all!)as well as removing the truck bed liner.

Last week he was carrying some sort of wood cabinetry in the back. Whyfor, I don't know. I also don't know what the intended use of the wood cabinetry was, but he grew tired of that quickly, it seems.

Across the street the Crappy Caddy has finally left. I'm not sure where it is; I didn't notice it parked down the street in front of some other poor neighbor's house at any rate. Instead, we see the crapacious Work Truck from Hell is still in residence. Also in attendance is Little Sister's Old Car. It was parked a couple doors down from us for about four months straight with a "For Sale" sign in the window. Apparently she's not bright enough to either put an ad somewhere to sell the thing or that there isn't enough traffic on our block to bring in a sucker--I mean--potential buyer for the heavily-used car. Beavis finally washed the residue of four months of weather off the car this past weekend. Oh joy.

Other visitors include some guy with a huge bright orange work truck. It's obnoxious in just about every way. The woman with the Volvo who has dealings with Beavis is still a regular visitor. Sometimes she visits carting an infant with her; I hope to god that the brat isn't also Beavis's. We also get the ebb and flow of people who stop by for short amounts of time and then quickly leaving. I can never see exactly what they're doing. Beavis's mommy has visitors come by and cart her to work and back. Lovely!

Donna A. said...

The tires are in his pickup bed to add weight so he can safely drive through all the snow you get. ;-)

RedDiabla said...

I imagine the only snow he'd know about would be the stuff that goes up one's nose.

Managed aquifer recharge: an introduction

source: National Water Commission
"The report explains managed aquifer recharge, offers a description of the diverse drivers for MAR and presents new information on the economics of MAR in relation to alternative sources of supply. The authors deal with how to establish a MAR project, outline considerations for government regulators and look at MAR opportunities in an integrated urban water management context. The report highlights the barriers to the wider adoption of MAR. These include lack of certainty around rights and entitlements, and the need for clear and nationally consistent assessment and approval approaches."

Success for All in England: Results From the Third Year of a National Evaluation

Tracey, Louise, Chambers, Bette, Slavin, Robert, Hanley, Pam and Cheung, Alan (2014) Success for All in England: Results From the Third Year of a National Evaluation. Sage Open, 4 (3). ISSN 2158-2440

This article reports the third-year findings of a longitudinal evaluation in England of Success for All (SFA), a comprehensive literacy program. Eighteen SFA schools across England and 18 control schools, matched on prior achievement and demographics, were included in this quasi-experimental study. The results of hierarchical linear modeling analysis reveal a statistically significant positive school-level effect for SFA schools compared with control schools on standardized reading measures of word-level and decoding skills, and there were directionally positive but nonsignificant school-level effects on measures of comprehension and fluency. Practical and policy implications of these findings are discussed, particularly as they relate to recent English government policies encouraging schools to implement research-proven approaches.

Electroosmotic flow behaviour of metal contaminated expansive soil

It is important to study the flow behaviour through soil during electrokinetic extraction of contaminants to understand their removal mechanism. The flow through the expansive soil containing montmorillonite is monitored during laboratory electrokinetic extraction of heavy metal contaminants. The permeability of soil, which increases due to the presence of contaminants, is further enhanced during electrokinetic extraction of contaminants due to osmotic permeability. The variations in flow rates through the soil while the extracting fluid is changed to dilute acetic acid (used to control the increase of pH) and EDTA solution (used to desorb the metal ions from soil) are studied. The trends of removal of contaminants vis-a-vis the changes in the flow through the soil during different phases of electrokinetic extraction are established. Chromium ions are removed by flushing of water through the soil and increased osmotic flow is beneficial. Removal of iron ions is enhanced by induced osmotic flow and desorption of ions by electrokinetic processes.

Mumbai, India, January 24, 2016 — /EPR NETWORK/ — It’s time when our hearts are evoking patriotic feelings and are making us act like responsible citizens of the nation. But are we really being true to ourselves. Do we really care about the essence of Republic Day Celebrations? To so many people who revel at the thought of getting an extended weekend to hang out with family or just head for a long drive away from the city on Republic Day- Is this patriotism in the true sense? How many of us actually switch on the TV and revel viewing the Republic Day Parade or watch the live parade? At the most, we sport the tri-coloured flag as a badge or as a desk décor. Are we really doing something constructive for the betterment of the country on Republic Day? The answer is with most of us and it is mostly in the negative.
