Erotic Clothing Store Features Nine-Year-Old Boy in Drag As ‘Covergirl’

Whenever Christians and conservatives get into a debate with liberals over social and moral issues, the topic of the slippery slope inevitably comes up, and like clockwork, those on the left immediately burst into fits of scornful laughter.

To them that’s all conjecture, an overreaction to oh so subtle changes in the way culture views sexuality and propriety, a resistance to forward thinking progress.

Well, the truth of the matter is the slippery slope does indeed exist and the sexualization of children is clear proof of that.

It started with the approval of homosexuality as a lifestyle, then moved on to same-sex marriage, then transgenderism, an attempt to normalize pedophilia — a slowly building movement — and now socially accepted child abuse in the form of using kids to push clothing, political causes, and other things using sex appeal.

House of Mann, a clothing store that caters to the perverse gay BDSM crowd, has a new “covergirl” in the form of a nine-year-old in drag.

Breitbart is reporting:

The nine-year-old drag queen who goes by the name “Queen Lactatia,” stands sexualized in the photos, wearing a sequin onesie.

Products available on House of Mann include BDSM sex harnesses, bondage gloves, jock straps, and nipple pasties, which are all tagged with keywords such as “hot,” “erotic,” gay,” “BDSM,” “fetish,” “kinky,” “dominatrix,” and “stripper.”

After users on Facebook and Twitter complained about the company sexualizing children for an erotic brand, House of Mann owner Brandon Hilton declared, “[I] woke up to countless tweets telling me ‘kill yourself’ and calling me a ‘pedo’ after we announced 9 year old drag superstar Lactatia as our new HOUSE OF MANN covergirl… If you can’t handle a kid in a sequin onesie, maybe the future isn’t for you!”

“I think this new generation of drag kids is brilliant and inspiring!” he continued in another post. “@Desmond_Amazing and Lactatia are the future! @TheHouseofMann is just making sure they look SICKENING! people will talk no matter what, might as well give them something FIERCE to look at!”

Despite the fact that some Twitter users reported the pictures, Twitter claimed they did not break any platform rules or policies.

The young boy first gained notoriety back in the fall of 2017, having made an appearance on ITV’s This Morning with his mom, decked out in a dress, makeup, and a pink wig.

It’s absolutely shocking and disgusting on many levels to see grown adults not only encouraging children to engage in transgenderism, but to transform them into sexual objects to help sell their products.

The prevailing view of children these days seems to be that they either aren’t real human beings — when they’re still in the womb — or they are pawns for pushing political movements.

Please pray for “Lactatia” and other kids like this who are mixed up in their sexual identity and the parents who are encouraging this mess to repent of their sins, trust in Christ, and stop participating in behavior that is destructive to the soul.

If you would like to reach out and express your concerns over the sexualization of this child, you can visit their Etsy page here.

Essay #13: memorial

In Love on May 30, 2011 at 6:35 pm

Several Memorial Days ago, when I was working for the state House of Representatives, the names of beloved dead were projected in the rotunda of the Capitol. A group of chamber musicians played while high up on a wall scrolled names of fathers, mothers, soldiers, sisters, brothers, friends.

Earlier that week, in response to an e-mail about the project, I wrote and asked if it was okay to add my brother’s name, even though he wasn’t a soldier. The project organizer replied immediately, “Of course.”

At the appointed time – I think it was late afternoon – I sat on the Rotunda steps amidst a crowd of people and waited for his name to appear. When it did – John VanTine Braunlich – I cried.

Yes, it was just a scrolling of names, of words, but each name had people attached to it, people who didn’t want their family or friends forgotten.

Words have power. We’ve all heard this, and it’s true. I felt better (and worse) for seeing his name in a public place. It comforted me, and in a strange way I felt vindicated. John’s name on that list meant I didn’t make him up. I didn’t just imagine racing snails and eating peanut butter toast and playing Batman and Robin with him. Those three years actually happened. He was here. He lived.

Why is this so important? Writer Annie Lamott’s friend Tom, as quoted in Grace (Eventually), says ‘why’ is not a useful question. So let’s drop it, and just know that there is something powerful in the reading of names, the speaking of names, in memorials, be they of stone or pixels on a wall. I wanted others to know Johnny existed, though it was long ago.

We are all, ultimately, ephemeral. We all laugh, we all cry, we all love, we all die. That’s the way it is on this planet. With such major similarities, why focus on the minor differences?

Here’s my list (to date) of beloved dead. They are not forgotten. Feel free to add your own, or sing them on the breeze as you go about your day.

John VanTine Braunlich, Emmett Ocean Shé, Bianca Kitty, Hazel, Dumbala, Mary Cat, Coe Coe, Noah, Maureen Marten, Rosemary & Paul C. VanTine, Sidney Duzen, Aunt Jean, Great Aunt Maude VanTine, Great Aunt Terry Magonigle, Nana & Grandpa Braunlich, Father Tavard, Bronco, Julio, Gordo, Grey, Carolyn’s sister, Sophie’s Chris, Jacinta McKoy, Sasha, Gene, John Lennon, Martin Luther King Jr…

Essay #12: the third way

In Love on May 23, 2011 at 3:53 pm

In response to what I thought was a benign comment, I was slimed by a nasty look from a co-op worker a few months ago. It was a doozy; folks nearby even commented on it: “whoa!”

How do you deal with situations like this? I’m usually too stunned to respond in the moment, which pisses me off later. And what are my options? I could only come up with two: either deflect her crap back at her, or take it in. I didn’t like either one.

Later that same afternoon, Dancer Karen came over. Through movement, she helped me discover a third way.

Imagine, here comes the attack:
Don’t take it in; don’t throw it back.

Catch it in one hand,
pass it behind your body to the other hand,
and thump it on the ground.
Stand up, and flick your fingers skyward.

I did this movement phrase over and over again: catch, pass around, palm to ground, stand and flick. I imagined the planet taking the venom and transforming it, toxins turned to sparkling dust: harmless.

After 10 minutes or so of this continuous motion, fear and anger turned to laughter. It was amazing. I felt free and clean and clear and strong.

I wrote down the phrase and vowed to remember it always. Right.

Since then–when I think of it–I have tried it on other cantankerous cranks. I do it in my head, or very small–just my hands–at a table. It works every time. A subtle shift of energy occurs and I am able to shake off the slime. I can respond from a position of strength and peace.

In a third way.

Essay #11: support

In Love on May 16, 2011 at 4:09 pm

“You are not a waste,” said the director’s assistant, while leading me to the restroom to compose myself. I had just mangled “Singing in the Rain” during an audition, finally putting us out of our collective misery by stopping the accompanist, and apologizing for wasting their time.

Why I was auditioning for musical theatre, I do not know. I don’t even like most of it, and I certainly don’t care for the typical sound actors make while singing show tunes. Too, well, showy. Not authentic.

Well, my voice was certainly authentic yesterday. I opened with “Amazing Grace” and found myself wailing and weeping the words, “I once was lost, but now I’m found.” Talk about saving “a wretch like me”! The good news is that the worst that could happen has happened. It’s done. I sang off-key. Sue me.

Earlier that day, I participated in contact improv exercises with a local dance collective. Standing back to back, Roel slowly leaned forward as I leaned backward, until I could no longer touch the ground. My weight was completely supported on his back, my arms overhead. Even though I’d seen him do this safely and gently with other dancers – it’s quite beautiful – I was afraid I’d fall.

“Put me down,” I said, and started crying. The visceral, kinesthetic sense of physical support was overwhelming. It had been years since I let anyone hold me for any length of time.

I prefer to live alone. I need copious amounts of solitude for mental (and physical) health. But suddenly I find myself weighing the cost/benefit ratio of having a partner. I am tired — bone tired — of doing everything by myself: wrestling with fears, solving problems, working toward goals, having fun.

Look at all the couples (yes, spring has sprung). But does it have to be all or nothing? Could I have a part-time partner? A part-time family? I’d have my down days, my writing days, and then maybe once or twice a week – bingo! – I’d have family and friends. (And then they’d go back in the closet, right?)

Maybe I just have to be truthful with the friends and family I do have. Dude, I need space. I’ll talk to you in two days. Hasta la vista.

Maybe I just (!) have to set (and maintain! Christ, what part of no don’t you understand?) boundaries. (Not disparaging the past, oh no. Just making a comment.)

Meanwhile, I may feel alone, but on a planet with trillions of creatures, that’s not actually the case. Why, I can hear someone hammering right now. And sawing. And throttling a Harley Davidson. Ray the Cat just poked his head in the door.

Maybe I’ll go outside and sing. In the rain.

Essay #10: mothering

In Love on May 9, 2011 at 3:53 pm

I woke up yesterday feeling like I finally got it, the whole mother thing. If I need mothering, I can do it myself. After all, who better than me to know what I want? Expectations of my mother dropped away – freedom!

Today I feel like I did before: angry at her, and sad we’re not talking. Damn revelations.

“No shame, no blame, everything is beautiful,” said Meg before leading an improv exercise. An excellent motto. Perhaps I’ll paint it on my car.

I did not call my mother on Mothers Day. I am trying to do what I actually want to do, instead of what I should do. Today I am suffering guilt and anxiety. I don’t want to hurt her, but I am tired of hurting me.

Taking care of myself is trickier than I thought.

Early on, I learned not to have any needs that couldn’t be met by my mother. I learned not to want.

But I am human. I want and need — despite my best efforts — shelter, love, support.
And when she couldn’t or wouldn’t help me, I thought I wasn’t worth helping.

Wrong splenation. It only meant that she — one woman — couldn’t help me, not that I shouldn’t be helped. Where’s the damn village when you need it?

The fact is, I love my mother. It’s just taken me a long time to catch on to the fact that I don’t need her, nor does she need me. She can mother herself. I can mother myself. She is no longer my source of nourishment. Nor am I hers.

But I keep fishing in the same tired stream. And just over the hill behind me is the ocean.

Part of me wants to stay by the stream, even though I’m hungry. A misguided sense of loyalty, love, and hope keeps me sitting here, even though I can hear the ocean roar. Occasionally, I hike over the hill, jump in the sea, remember who I am, and who I can be. But I always return to the stream.

And maybe that’s okay for a time.
I’ll just leave my fishing pole behind.

Essay #9 #9 #9: heart palpitations

In Love on May 2, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Last week, after performing for several hours at Olympia’s ArtsWalk, my heart got stuck in overdrive. It was bumping and racing and thrumming in my throat. I drove home, showered, and got into bed. For hours I lay and meditated and listened to my wildly beating pulse. I wondered whether to call 911. I didn’t. I am doctor- and hospital-averse. Rather than add more fear to the mix, I tried to calm down as best I could.

I finally fell asleep, and when I awoke, around three-thirty in the morning, my heartbeat was calmer, slower, and rhythmical. It’s been that way ever since.

The fall-out, though, was big: I was beyond exhausted, and my lungs decided to get into the act by cleaning house. (I could spackle the bathroom with what I’ve been hocking up.) Day 10 after the event and I’m still weak. So I decided to visit an acupuncturist.

The last time I had acupuncture was with Emmett. (Gotta love Olympia — where else would you find someone proficient at treating canines and humans, together?) She attended to Emmett first, then he lay under the table while she treated me. Picture it: a big-ass Wolf dog and a curly-haired Caucasian letting a slight, tobacco-addicted doctor of Chinese medicine poke us with sharp objects.

Good grief.

Literally. I wept during today’s treatment: for Emmett, for my family, for myself. I let it all out. Every sadness that I thought I should be “over.” Grief just poured out of me. And it was a relief to let it go, to stop telling myself what I should feel when.

Last year, before visiting my mother in New Orleans, I gave myself permission to say anything, to anyone, anytime, anywhere. I am adding to this basic permission, to wit: I am allowed to feel anything, anytime, anywhere — without apologizing to anyone.

I now have – finally! – permission to be my complete human self, the full catastrophe (to paraphrase Zorba the Greek).

Nothing is missing: I am perfectly flawed.

And that’s exactly as it should be.

Essay #24: halfway

In Love on August 15, 2011 at 4:10 pm

I am halfway through the 48 essays I promised to post.
It has not gotten any easier.
It is still hard to write the truth and share it with you.

Seems simple enough: write a bunch of words, edit them, then publish on the worldwide web. Many people do it every day.

Simple, yes, except for my thinking: it’s not perfect, no one cares, it’s too hard.

Listening to love is not as easy as it sounds.

Every week I get up in the middle of writing and say, “This is crap. Jesus.”
Ladies and gentlemen, we have entered the chaos part of the writing process, where finishing an essay feels impossible. If I stop here, I am doomed.

Instead, I go for a walk, or make a cup of tea, or do the dishes. Then I sit down again, and try once more to string words into a pleasing sequence.

Because I care, which is a good enough reason to do it. And it is hard, but also supremely satisfying. For 24 Mondays in a row I have kept my promise to myself no matter what: exhaustion, deadlines, tempting opportunities. Regardless of what else is going on in the world, the community, the family, I show up for myself.

Side-effect? Happiness. Pride of accomplishment. Each week, after publishing another essay, I celebrate by playing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” Keeping a promise to myself is a big deal. A big hallelujah deal.

24 essays into this truth-telling experiment and a few things have changed:
I am healthier. I am happy more often. I am more resilient.

I am also performing more. Saturday night I dressed up as a pirate and, with my shipmates, entertained folks before an outdoor showing of Pirates of the Caribbean. Argh.

Next Sunday I’ll perform my poem, “Can You Surf?”, at a street fair, then write Instant Poetry for a few hours. (Tagline: You give me five words, five minutes, and five bucks; I give you an original poem. Kids love it. They try to stump me with words like baseball shark, decapitate, and ninja gorilla.)

I have also found, or it’s found me, writing work I enjoy. I get to interview motivating movers and musicians, and help people actively preserving our planet.

“We get to carry each other,” sings U2.

Not, we have to carry each other, but we get to. It’s a privilege. We care for and are cared for, in turn. No one should get stuck only carrying, or only being carried. It’s all about balance.

So climb aboard. We’re halfway there.

  1. These essays are beautiful. What you’re doing and who you are certainly is a “big hallelujah deal”. Thank you for living love.

  2. wow!! i Luvit!! thank you very much big sis 🙂

Music for a Desert Island

This first of Fantasy Writer Guy's weekend assignments.

In no particular order, and without prejudice. Thirteen here - I would probably include still more Bowie and some Police, if I had room in my lifeboat.

Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes
This album has been in steady rotation in my playlist this winter. "White Winter Hymnal" is probably my favourite song from it.

David Bowie: Alladin Sane and Scary Monsters
I won't explain, except to say that Alladin Sane is good for grooving, and Scary Monsters is one of my go-to writing soundtracks. In this 1973 recording, Bowie performed "Time" as Ziggy Stardust.

Tom Waits: The Black Rider and Mule Variations
I assume there would come a time, should I in fact be washed ashore on some desert island, that I would go completely looney tunes. Black Rider, with its weird circus-themed catalogue of not good things, would be a perfect off kilter soundtrack. It's worth it, just so I could play "November" over and over. From Mule Variations, "Filipino Box Spring Hog" is a perfect song for jumping around. "Come on Up to the House" is redemption in music form.

Dead Man's Bones: Dead Man's Bones (Featuring the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir)
I heard Dead Man's Bones for the first time on Rue Morgue Radio. It was a while before I figured out that their spooky sounding frontman was Ryan Gosling. Their 2009 album contains spooky songs about zombies and ghosts (and maybe superheroes?) and makes terrific use of a children's choir. It's strong from start to finish, but you might  have already heard "My Body's a Zombie for You," so here's "Lose Your Soul."

Kate Bush: The Dreaming and The Kick Inside
I could wax poetic about Kate Bush, but I think I'll just quote YouTube user cloudboheme:
Kate Bush is probably one of the only people I can think of who could twist and convulse wildly in a ballerina costume surrounded by jesters and minotaurs, rollerskate around wearing a white smock and a Dunce hat, shift her voice pitch and tone from high to creepily low, and still manage to come out as a class act. Every time. Thank you to the fabulous Kate for restoring my faith in originality and inspiration.
The Dreaming is another of those records that feels like a novel: it's complete from start to finish, not great necessarily because of any one of its songs - although "Sat in Your Lap" is one of my favourites - but great because it somehow satisfies as a coherent whole.

DeVotchKa: Una Volta
You might know DeVotchKa because they composed and performed much of the soundtrack of 2006's Little Miss Sunshine. In 2003, they came out with the album Una Volta. It was exactly the right mix of sad and hopeful for me that year, and it has stuck with me.

Miho Hatori: Ecdysis
My music collection has a little tide pool in it, in which Japanese girl musicians float. Miho Hatori is the best of the best. I bought Ecdysis on the strength of the samba-inspired "Barracuda," but I've played it over and over from start to finish.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: Let Love In
Not my only Nick Cave record, but the one I return to again and again, if only to listen to "Red Right Hand." For when I"m all alone on the island and I need to pretend I'm badass.

Leadbelly: Absolutely the Best
Blues is underrepresented on this list. If I could only take one blues album to a desert island, it would be this Leadbelly collection. (Nirvana covered it, in case it sounds familiar.)

Brandenburg Concertos
Morning music.

Gustav Holst: The Planets
Another soundtrack for writing.

Bluestocking said...

Oh man... I love Nick Cave, and Fleet Foxes, and Bowie, and Devotcha.... And I even picked up Dead Man's Bones after hearing them on All Songs Considered. I expected a gimmick album but I enjoyed the whole thing. And you're right, the kids' voices on there were perfectly used.

Elizabeth Twist said...

Awesome, Bluestocking. I love meeting a musical kindred spirit.

Fantasy Writer Guy said...

I've been exploring new (to me) music at a rabid pace and discovering the world is full of amazing music and I will only ever hear a tiny minority of it! Recently got into Fleet Foxes with Helplessness Blues. Lots of stuff here I expect to explore now! Thanks!

In my another post (What is "intervening noun phrase"?), I left a comment to an answer

If I call it (people) "intervening noun", every one can still get what I refer to, right?

where I used the adverb still though, and lots of people use it in lots of situations, I don't know what type it is.

Cambridge Dictionary categorize "still" as "Time adverbs", another post classify it as "Connecting/linking adverbs". Neither seems appropriate here.

So, what type of adverbs "still" is here?

The adverb came from the Old English adjective stille, meaning not moving. It is used in so many different contexts that to call it an adverb of time may not always seem helpful. But if you can see how the word's meaning evolved from 'not moving' to 'unchanged' to 'as before' its connection with time becomes clear. Your sentence means, roughly, "Everyone can, as they could before, get what I refer to."

You might like to study the first four subheadings here. All those examples are of its usage as a 'time adverb'. The other subheadings describe its other usages: still has a great many! When it is used like consequently or besides to join two clauses, it can be called a 'connecting adverb'.

  • Thanks. So, "still" in my example means "as before", therefor, it is a time adverb, right?
    – WXJ96163
    Mar 6 '20 at 10:14
  • @WXJ96163 Yes, that's right. Mar 7 '20 at 23:19

BlueLight Commercial team growing rapidly as key appointments made

BlueLight Commercial, the new national police commercial support organisation, has appointed Stuart Jose (left) as its first Regional Commercial Director. Mr Jose, previously Head of Regional Procurement in the South West of England and also chair of the National Police Procurement Executive, started his new job on 22 June.

Drawing on his expertise and contacts, Mr Jose will continue to work closely with forces in the South West while also advising police forces right across England and Wales on how they can maximise value for money in the People and Professional Services ‘pillar’ – things like recruitment, training, and financial services.

He said, “In my role as Regional Commercial Director I will ensure that we develop innovative and challenging commercial strategies for People and Professional Services. Working with, and influencing, key stakeholders from across policing we’ll ensure that we deliver value for money and meet forces’ business needs, whilst at all times acting as an ambassador for commercial excellence.

“My aspiration for BlueLight Commercial is that we quickly become the trusted partner for policing, and other blue light services, through demonstrating the value that we add by delivering further improved value for money, across a wide range of commercial activity.”

Mr Jose, who as Senior Responsible Officer for the Collaborative Law Enforcement Procurement Programme helped identify £100m of potential savings, added, “It is an exciting time for police procurement as we look to build on the good work that has been delivered, and I look forward to delivering further efficiencies, enabling our Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables to continue to invest in providing excellent policing services to the public.”

In time, BlueLight Commercial will have seven Regional Commercial Directors working under Chief Executive Officer Lianne Deeming, who took up her role in May.

Mrs Deeming said, “It is great to have Stuart join our team. He has extensive experience and knowledge in policing in addition to a successful track record of delivering value and significant savings in the supply chain while also ensuring forces’ needs are met.

“I am delighted to say that today, we begin an external recruiting campaign for a further six roles in BlueLight Commercial for Regional Commercial Directors and Commercial Specialists across a range of different categories. Our aim remains to establish an agile, regionally-based structure with category expertise.”

How Social Media Affects Personal BrandingSocial media is transforming business as we know it. This applies to businesses large and small, and to brands – corporate and personal. At Employee Development Systems, Inc., helping employees of every generation raise their awareness of accountability and professionalism lie at the core of our mission.

We’ve entered the age of influence. As it relates to personal branding, we would like to share some guidelines that will help enhance your brand and ensure success through the social media age.

  1. Meet the influence economy. Social media has transitioned our economy.  Some call it ‘social capital’ and some call it ‘social credibility’.  Whatever you call it, we’re essentially measuring how influential you are. Tools like Share and likes and tweets, circles and +1s are the currency of our new economy.
  2. Your personality has value, so be sure you share it.  Social media is about being human and adding that element of humanity to the technology.  Personality is what will help you stand out from the rest, but use caution:  you still need to filter and decide what’s appropriate for sharing and what isn’t.  Sharing your character is considerably different than sharing private information.
  3. Be knowable, likeable and trustworthy. A positive attitude will always serve you better than a negative one.  Keep civility and generosity at the forefront of your mission.
  4. Invest in your own thought leadership. Sharing your knowledge is one of the best ways to become known as an expert. The more you write and speak about your industry, the greater the expert you become.  Be credible, reliable and personable, while you keep your ego in check.
  5. Personal brands compete with corporate brands and win. We still want to buy from people rather than companies. Personal brands tend to be more successful in the social media space. Social media tools have empowered us to build a direct audience and be better at it than many corporate brands, so give it some thought.

Your online profiles, any communications, simple likes, and sharing are what build your influence.  The more you contribute to the good of the community, the more trust and credibility you create.  The more you’re trusted, the greater your social credibility.  Think about it as you check-in, share and comment and think about what you can contribute.

Leaders with the most impact are those who can build and successfully manage great teams. Every day, we help our clients and colleagues achieve their highest levels of professional presence and personal effectiveness. That includes everyone on the ladder, from company presidents to project managers, to staff members. Contact us at 800-282-3374 to find out how we can help you impact your own productivity and the productivity of your entire organization.

Employee Development Systems delivers results-oriented training programs that increase productivity, effectiveness, & performance.

Martin v City and County of Swansea (DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION) [2021] UKEAT 000460_20_2907

Appeal concerning whether the employer had made reasonable adjustments in trying to redeploy the claimant.

The claimant had been made redundant from a post in 2015 but was redeployed and for the next couple of years took several long periods of sickness absence, partly because of potential conflict with managers. For a while she worked in a supernumerary role in the employee services team while seeking redeployment before she was dismissed in 2017. The ET rejected her claims for unfair dismissal.

In this judgment HHJ Tayler considers the PCP that underpinned the claims and, following the Court of Appeal decision in Griffiths, states that it is necessary to distinguish between the terms of an absence management policy and its application. In this case he considered that it was clear that the claimant did not merely assert that the PCP was the terms of a Management of Absence Policy, but contended it resulted from the application of the policy to her resulting in her dismissal because she was absent from work and was not fit to undertake her duties. However he goes on to conclude that the Tribunal did not err in their alternative analysis that the respondent had made all adjustments that were reasonable, so the appeal failed.

Full Moon in Gemini and Mercury retrograde, 3rd December. Cosmic love.

Cosmic love.

Full Moon in Gemini, 3rd December at 11 degrees.

This Full Moon in Gemini is powerful and illuminating; a Super Moon, the closest to earth this year, appearing to be the biggest and brightest of the year.

She brings with her a special gift, as Neptune in Pisces, the planet of unconditional love, aspects not only the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius at 11 degrees, but also makes a positive aspect to Jupiter in Scorpio,  which further expands the free flowing love. All four planets are interconnected, and all, are at exact 11 degrees, opening up a powerful portal that brings fateful and karmic opportunities, adventures, abundance and new people and often life-changing new beginnings into our lives.

The Full Moon in Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the messenger and since we have four planets at 11.11+11.11, the master number, that opens up a doorway between two worlds, we can expect messages from the unseen realms, our intuition, our spirit guides, even loved ones from the other side. Synchronicities abound, as we are being guided and helped by an invisable hand. You may suddenly become aware of uncanny coincidences that are hard to explain, certain signs, de ja vue or an epiphany.

Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is in her own sign and invites us to let its energy wash over us helping us to gain insights and heightened awareness, enabling a huge shift in consciousness.

This is heart opening energy.

Synchronicities will be strong and magical, inspiring and karmic people can enter our lives while existing relationships can benefit from a magical, romantic and forgiving energy, upgrading all relationships to the next higher level. Releasing and healing relationships, addictions and delusions will be easier to do now, that are no longer serving our highest purpose and good. Enabling us to live from our true authentic self, from a deep soul level. Trusting and moving away from fear.

Neptune helps us to see the bigger picture.To let go of what we can’t control and trust that the Universe ultimately has a bigger plan for our highest good even if it doesn’t seem immediately apparent.

The ruler of the Full Moon Mercury, stations retrograde today. He is conjoined to Saturn, who gifts us with wisdom, we can experience an intuitive grasp of reality through something, an illuminating discovery or realization.

Chiron in Pisces the wounded healer, is stationing direct after a six-month retrograde period (exact 5th Dec). Further enhancing the gift of love and healing. We have revisited the wounds of the past, so that we can forgive, release, heal and let them go. Now as Chiron stations direct, deep healing is available to us.

The veil is thin now. 11:11 and the Jupiter-Neptune trine, active for most of December, brings a message of oneness and unity which helps you to see, feel, and experience your connection with source. We can download healing ,cosmic love, helping to raise our vibration. It’s never been so easy to tune in and tap into these cosmic vibrations. Taking time out to connect within and to this exceptional energy will help us to receive the full benefit of this cosmic gift of love, healing, inspiration and wisdom.

The connection to our higher selve and unconditional cosmic love, the knowledge that we are never alone and that separation is an illusion, is the message of Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.
The all-encompassing and unconditional love that Pisces teaches us, dwells within us all and is our Secret Super Power.

While Neptune is idealistic, it can also engender areas of self- deception that can prevent us from seeing the possibility of creating the true ideal and turning our dreams into reality.

Many mystics, artists and healers have a strong Neptune/Pisces signature in their natal chart.

The challenge of Neptune is to not allow your yearning for the ideal to detract you from the experience of what is really happening in the moment. Saturn conjoined to Mercury, will help you to see the reality of the way things are, and then work on a practical level to create the ideal you seek.

The Full Moon in Gemini often represents a time of important decision making.  We can use Neptune’s gifts of heightened intuition, while trusting our gut instinct. Any unclarity about a situation will become clear when Mercury stations direct on the 22nd December. It is then that the veil of delusion and fog will be lifted, the truth will be revealed.

A time when there will be a personal and collective awakening and new beginnings await us, based on solid and strong foundations with the promise of success and achievement, as Saturn and the Sun in Capricorn are both at 0 degrees on the day when Mercury ends his retrograde period. 0 degrees is the degree of fresh new beginnings, and a new three-year cycle begins, as Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn until December 2020. We are at a deeply significant turning point on our life path.

A new era is about to begin.

This Full Moon highlights the need in our personal lives as well as globally and politically, to base our decisions and actions on compassion for the good of the whole. And not fall prey to deception, fear, delusion, and manipulation.

While the Full Moon can feel exuberant and optimistic and chances abound, it can also bring a lot of nervous energy with it. Gemini can sometimes feel highly strung, and Mars in Libra in opposition to Uranus the planet of radical change is adding to the nervous excitement, pushing for new beginnings and breaking away from the status quo. This can make for exciting and passionate energy. New encounters can feel magnetically and erotically charged.

We may feel we are at a crossroad, a time to discern our true needs and desires, to find and speak our truth, consequently making decisions and taking action.

This Full Moon in the air sign of Gemini, is the Butterfly of the zodiac and this Full Moon guides you to be sensitive to your personal cycles of expansion and growth, as well as the beauty of life’s continuous unfolding. An important message carried by the Full Moon, is about the ability to go through important changes with grace and lightness. The Butterflies unwavering acceptance of her metamorphosis is also symbolic of faith. Here the butterfly beckons us to keep our faith as we undergo transitions in our lives and emphasizes the ability to move from one state, perspective, lifestyle to another with adaptability.

Life is about evolving and actively creating change, as well as learning how to go with the flow when inevitable change comes our way.

Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing to evolve constantly. Perfection is constant transformation.

“It’s the ends of the world,” said the caterpillar. “It’s the beginning of the world,” said the butterfly.

Any feelings of heaviness and feelings of burden and limitation that we may have, are being illuminated by this Full Moon, so that we can acknowledge it and take action and responsibility for bringing more lightness into our lives. Our source of joy comes at first from within. Regardless of our difficulties, we can still access our inner joy at any time.

Reconnecting with our inner spark of light, freedom, lightness, joy, and exhilarating qualities that are innately a part of us all, helps to reconnect to who we really are and ultimately our higher self and our higher inner wisdom.

Your inner voice and higher self, are speaking to you loud and clear. All we have to do is listen, which will be easier to do than usual, as the Mercury retrograde motion slows the active, externalised energy down and turns it inwards.Helping the free flow and downloading of the universe’s wisdom.

We can combine mind (Gemini) with heart (Sagittarius) now. Working together in harmony. Solutions that you have been searching for can now become apparent. Making our heart`s true desires known to us, as well as healing anything that might surface from the past that hasn’t been resolved. We are learning to harmonise the perfect balance between our minds and hearts.

The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity asks: Do you have space in your life to receive information from your own inner wisdom and to cultivate cosmic consciousness? Do your thoughts inspire feelings of faith, optimism and freedom? Are you overly attached to your version of “truth,” or overly adaptable to others’ ideas and opinions?

We can now free our minds from self-defeating thought patterns; rebooting and updating our mental and emotional bodies; adapting our everyday life to align with our deepest wisdom and highest vision. Prepare to download a new vision for your future and to move ahead with greater freedom and authenticity. Liberate your creative genius.

So pay special attention to the people you meet and to any opportunities or offers that may come your way.

Dreams and intuition are flowing strongly through Neptune.
Listen now, to your inner voice and intuition as Neptune and Jupiter, exerts a strong magnetic pull to your higher calling and purpose.
The power of envisioning, believing and creating opens the gateway to let miracles in.

Our creative abilities and talents will receive a huge surge of inspiration. It`s a wonderful time to start creative and spiritual projects, which will lead you to new heights in your form of expression helping you to realise your full potential.

There may be a strong desire now to connect with a soul mate and soul groups who operate on a similar vibration.

The Full Moon, Neptune and Mercury, also highlights the need to face and leave behind any delusions of self and others. As well as the need to have a discerning analytical mind when it comes to discerning fact from fiction and our tendency to succumb to manipulation, propaganda and fake news in the Media.

The Full Moon, marks both an ending to our delusions and an awakening to our real possibilities. We now have the power to turn our dreams into reality. Neptune is infusing our consciousness with inspiration, spiritual creativity and has the power to make miracles happen.

“Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
-John Lennon

Minsk Group Co-Chairs urge Azerbaijan to permit the recovery of the bodies of Armenian pilots

The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (Ambassadors Igor Popov of the Russian Federation, James Warlick of the United States of America, and Pierre Andrieu of France) remain deeply concerned that there has been no humanitarian access to the crash site of the military helicopter downed by Azerbaijani forces on November 12.  The wreckage of the helicopter lies in a heavily mined area of neutral territory on the Line of Contact.

We call on the sides to cease firing in the vicinity of the crash site and facilitate the demining of the area surrounding the site.  In the spirit of the Astrakhan statement of October 2010 between the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia, the Co-Chairs urge Azerbaijan to permit the recovery of the bodies of the victims, and Armenia to cooperate fully with all efforts to resolve this humanitarian situation.  We note the presence of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk and his team in the region, and encourage the sides to use his good offices to allow access.

We reaffirm our November 12 statement, reminding the sides of their responsibilities to respect the ceasefire and honor the commitments they made in Sochi, Newport, and Paris to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Genocide 100Society

Armenian Educational Foundation launches new Scholarship for Armenian Genocide Studies

Armenian Educational Foundation (AEF) today announced its new Richard G. Hovhannisian Scholarship for Armenian Genocide Studies. AEF has established this scholarship in honor of Professor Hovannisian in recognition of his lifelong dedication to the study of the Armenian Genocide. It is a merit based scholarship for Master and PhD students pursuing studies in higher educational institutions in the Republic of Armenia, specializing in the economic, social-demographic, cultural, legal and political aspects of denial and its accrued impact on the Armenian nation. The Foundation will cover the full tuition during the entire study and research, given that the proposed topic of research is acceptable to the Scholarship Board.

This year, the Armenian nation is commemorating the centennial of this atrocious crime. To this day, Turkey attempts to silence the past through various policies, meanwhile, continuing to reap the benefits of various international legal agreements. In reality, it continues the denial of the Genocide, thus, perpetuating the consequences of this colossal crime.

Looking forward to a new phase in the process of redemption of denied human rights and lost heritage, there is a need for reexamination and broadening of the strategies and tactics that could counteract Turkey’s denial policy. This requires sound research and debate in order to feed the actions leading to the punishment through compensation and retribution of the losses that an entire nation had to bear on its shoulders. Thus, it needs an interdisciplinary and broad approach that could examine the different aspects of the losses and their historic and future impact.

“The study of genocide, which is a gross violation of human rights, can help us understand the conditions under which acts of mass violence are likely to take place, suggesting ways in which genocide may be prevented,” states Scholarship Committee Member, Nvard Manasian. “In the case of the Armenian Genocide there is a need to comparatively conduct interdisciplinary studies that could help to assess the magnitude of the demographic, economic, political, and cultural impact on the Armenian nation in order to identify the magnitude of loss to be recovered gradually.”

The new scholarship will support the advancement of the academic debate on the possible avenues for retribution and recovery of lost human rights. Simultaneously, the scholarship would also afford the opportunity to explore the heritage rightfully belonging to an entire nation by feeding the results of this research into the state, diplomatic and public understanding and structured debate in different venues. The details of the terms and conditions of the newly announced scholarship are accessible on the scholarship website of the Foundation.

Headlines in Iranian English-language dailies on January 2

Tehran, Jan 2, IRNA -- The following headlines appeared in the English-language newspapers in the Iranian capital on Saturday:

-- Rouhani: Iran, regional peoples will avenge assassination of General Soleimani

President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday the Iranian people and other peoples in the region will never forget the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and will avenge it in due time.
January 3 marks the first anniversary of the US assassination of General Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). He was Iran’s lead military advisor helping Iraq and Syria defeat terrorists, chiefly Daesh.
Soleimani was targeted in a US drone strike in Baghdad during an official visit. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, was also killed along with other companions when their convoy was hit.

--Iranian dam comes on line to transfer water to Lake Urmia

A major dam came on line on northwestern Iran as part of government’s efforts to revive Lake Urmia, an endangered UNESCO biosphere reserve where water level has increased in recent years to prevent an environmental catastrophe in one of Iran’s most populous and economically vibrant regions.
President Hassan Rouhani ordered the launch of Kani Sib Dam on Thursday as he virtually supervised an official ceremony to inaugurate the dam in the Kurdish-dominated region of Piranshahr near the border with Iraq.

-- Iran, Iraq owe booming trade ties to Soleimani: Businessman

A major Iranian businessman said Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani was key to growing trade relations between Iran and Iraq, saying if it was not for the strategic thinking of the assassinated general, the two neighboring countries would have never been able to expand economic ties to the current level.
“General Soleimani had a major role in raising the number of trade crossings as well as in Iran’s energy exports to Iraq,” said Hamid Hosseini, a former chairman of Iran-Iraq Joint Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday.

-- Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi Passes Away

Prominent Iranian cleric Ayatollah Muhammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi passed away at the age of 86 on Friday, local news agencies reported.
He had been hospitalized since Saturday on the advice of doctors due to a gastrointestinal illness.
The cleric, a philosopher and political theorist, was a member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom.
He also served as a member of the Assembly of Experts — the body responsible for electing and monitoring the performance of the Leader — and the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution.
He played a major part in the uprising — led by late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini — that overthrew the U.S.-backed Pahlavi regime in 1979.

-- Ulyanov: Iran Informs IAEA of 20% Enrichment Plan

Iran has told the UN nuclear agency it intends to enrich uranium to up to 20% purity, a level it achieved before its 2015 deal with major powers and higher than the 4.5% it has recently been enriching up to, Russia’s ambassador to the agency said.
"#IAEA DG reported to the (IAEA) Board of Governors ... about intention of #Tehran to start enrichment op to 20%,” Russian Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency Mikhail Ulyanov said on Twitter on Friday, referring to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.

-- IRGC Chief: Iran Fully Ready for Any Scenario

 The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Friday warned the United States against any provocative moves in the Persian Gulf, emphasizing that the Islam Republic stands fully prepared for any possible scenario.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the assassination of top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani, Major General Hussein Salami said Pentagon’s recent decision to ramp up its military presence and activities in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman is because of the mistake it made last year.
Salami noted that the assassination of Gen. Soleimani along with his Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and their other anti-terror associates bred passionate hatred among Muslims toward the United States.

-- Rouhani: Enemy was harmed by ‘ill-considered’ Soleimani assassination

 President Hassan Rouhani says the enemy was harmed by its “ill-considered” move of brutally assassinating Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani last year.

“The enemy was definitely harmed by the ill-considered move of brutally assassinating [Soleimani] and it should rest assured that the people and youth of Iran and the region will continue to move on the path of resistance and independence of the region, even more resilient and hopeful,” Rouhani said on Thursday.

--Iran-EAEU trade reaches $1.4b in 8 months

 The value of non-oil trade between Iran and the members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) reached $1.4 billion in the first eight months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 19-November 20, 2020), data released by Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA) showed.

Based on the mentioned data, Iran exported 1.8 million tons of commodities worth $639 million to the EAEU members in the period under review, registering a 20 percent fall in terms of weight and a six-percent decline in terms of value. Trade with Eurasia accounted for 2.8 percent of the country’s total non-oil trade in the mentioned period.

-- Tehran sports complex, cathedral named national heritage
 Shahid Shiroudi Sports Complex (formerly known as Amjadiyeh Stadium), and Saint Sarkis Cathedral along with seven other sites and monuments scattered across Tehran have been inscribed on the national heritage list.

The Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts declared the inscriptions in separate letters to Anoushirvan Mohseni-Bandpey, the governor-general of Tehran province.

Entrees to the prestigious list also include a restaurant, mansion, public bathhouse, and a bank building in a bid to receive more protection than ever before.

Completed in 1942, the stadium has played host to many sporting, cultural, and national events as well as political meetings. Ever since Iran national football team was formed, they played their home matches in Amjadieh stadium before Azadi Stadium was constructed.

A retail greenhouse shows some of the diversity of floricultural plants
Flower seedlings sold at a local market in Breda, Netherlands

Floriculture crops include bedding plants, houseplants, flowering garden and pot plants, cut cultivated greens, and cut flowers. As distinguished from nursery crops, floriculture crops are generally herbaceous. Bedding and garden plants consist of young flowering plants (annuals and perennials) and vegetable plants. They are grown in cell packs (in flats or trays), in pots, or in hanging baskets, usually inside a controlled environment, and sold largely for gardens and landscaping. Pelargonium ("geraniums"), Impatiens ("busy lizzies"), and Petunia are the best-selling bedding plants. The many cultivars of Chrysanthemum are the major perennial garden plant in the United States.

Flowering plants are largely sold in pots for indoor use. The major flowering plants are poinsettias, orchids, florist chrysanthemums, and finished florist azaleas. Foliage plants are also sold in pots and hanging baskets for indoor and patio use, including larger specimens for office, hotel, and restaurant interiors.

Cut flowers are usually sold in bunches or as bouquets with cut foliage. The production of cut flowers is specifically known as the cut flower industry. Farming flowers and foliage employs special aspects of floriculture, such as spacing, training and pruning plants for optimal flower harvest; and post-harvest treatment such as chemical treatments, storage, preservation and packaging. In Australia and the United States some species are harvested from the wild for the cut flower market.

The project will help to improve the situation with the return of loans, increase credit portfolio of the banking sector and create a private credit bureau in the next three years.

The representatives of international finance organizations, banking sector and others take part in the event.

In the project's early stages preparatory work was carried out, and it is planned to adopt appropriate legislative acts in the third phase and start working, Aliya Azimova, the head of IFC's Baku office said.

"We try to create new opportunities for the development of the private sector by creating an effective system of information exchange and extending possibilities of using the moveable property," she said.

The financial sector has always been among the IFC's priorities in Azerbaijan, according to her.

"We hope for the further cooperation with Azerbaijan in the spheres of improvement of business, development of agricultural sector, improving corporate governance and others," said Azimova.

Azerbaijan cooperates with IFC since 1995. IFC's portfolio in Azerbaijan exceeds $400 million, and these funds were allocated to the implementation of more than 70 projects.

Azerbaijan defines priorities of tax system development (UPDATE)

Details added (first version posted on 11:16)

Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 10

By Azad Hasanli - Trend:

At present, the main priorities of Azerbaijan's tax system development is to improve the investment business environment, broaden the tax base and develop tax accounting, head of the Tax Department No.1 of Azerbaijan Natig Shirinov said.

He made the remarks Feb. 10 on the fifth Tax Forum themed "Azerbaijani tax system: Realities and Prospects".

Speaking about the need to broaden the tax base, Shirinov at the same time stressed the importance of continuous monitoring of the process of preferential exemption from taxes.

He said that if the existing benefits don't help to stimulate economy, it's necessary to cancel them and introduce the new ones.

"It is also very important to introduce taxation of e-commerce and stimulate non-cash payments, and this will help to increase tax revenues to the state budget in the future," said the head of the department.

Shirinov also touched upon the improvement of tax accounting.

He said that entrepreneurs should be responsible and fully pay taxes, but it's necessary to improve tax accounting for that.

"Work in this direction has been underway for several years, and this work is likely to be completed in the near future," he said. "Introduction of e-accounting should be noted among the measures to improve tax accounting. Unfortunately, taxpayers often keep tax accounting incorrectly, so it's necessary to ensure transparency in this sphere. In addition, by expanding e-audit in the future, we will help taxpayers to save time."
