Full Description

The Royal Ballet’s glorious production of The Nutcracker, created by Peter Wright in 1984, is the production par excellence of an all time ballet favourite. It is Christmas Eve and Herr Drosselmeyer the magician sweeps young Clara away on a fantasy adventure in which time is suspended, the family living-room becomes a great battlefield, and a magical journey takes them through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets. Tchaikovsky’s glittering score, the gorgeous festive stage designs, and The Royal Ballet’s captivating dancing including an exquisite pas de deux between the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince, make this Nutcracker the quintessential Christmas experience.

Series Name: Bad Roomies

Asking For: $75,000 on Kickstarter

Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): $15,112

Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 18

Description: Bad Roomies is a planned feature film about two roommates, played by Patrick Renna and Tommy Savas, whose lives are perfectly normal–until their third roommate dies. The ultimately settle on a new third wheel, a “sexy” and “conniving” woman played by Lindsey Reckis of Reckless Tortuga, which sets a madcap screwball comedy in motion.

Creator Bio: Renna and Savas are both fringe Hollywood guys who have had numerous roles in film and TV. Savas is also a regular performer on Reckless Tortuga, and the YouTube sketch channel is on board for Bad Roomies. In addition to Reckis, Eric Pumphrey will also have a role, and Jason Schnell will serve as the director.

Best Perk: Renna is probably best known for playing Hamilton Porter in The Sandlot, and for $150, he will sign a baseball for you and send nostalgia flowing down your spine.

Why You Should Fund It: Did we mention that this is a joint production between Hamilton from The Sandlot and Reckless Tortuga? Because that should be reason enough to fund it right there. But if that doesn’t convince you, a recent short starring the film’s cast (and featuring a guest appearance from Tom of The Syndicate Project) gives us an introduction to the characters and the tone.

The short proves Renna, Savas, and the rest of the Bad Roomies team are committed to situational humor that isn’t overly reliant on slapstick. If you’d like to see 90 minutes of that, you know what to do.

Matthias Grünewald ~ Renaissance painter

Matthias Grünewald [1475-1528] whose real name was Mathis Gothart, called Nithart or Neithardt, was a major figure in a generation of great northern german Renaissance painters that also included Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach and Albrecht Altdorfer.
Grünewald remained relatively unknown until the 20th century; only about 13 of his paintings and some drawings survive. His present worldwide reputation, however, is based chiefly on his greatest masterpiece, the Isenheim Altarpiece c.1513-15, which was long believed to have been painted by Dürer. Grünewald grew up in Würzburg near Nuremberg, and from 1501 until 1521 he was proprietor of a workshop in Seligenstadt. He traveled to Halle for commissions, and, although he was apparently a Protestant and a supporter of Martin Luther, he executed several commissions for two bishops of the Mainz diocese.
Grünewald's earliest datable work is the Mocking of Christ 1503; Alte Pinakothek, Munich, a colorful, vehemently expressive painting demonstrating his ability to create dazzling light effects. The painting depicts Christ blindfolded and being beaten by a band of grotesque men. The figures are thick-bodied, soft, and fleshy, done in a manner suggestive of the Italian High Renaissance. Elements of the work also show Grünewald's assimilation of Dürer, specifically his Apocalypse series. Different from High Renaissance idealism and humanism, however, are Grünewald's uses of figural distortion to portray violence and tragedy, thin fluttering drapery, highly contrasting areas of light and shadow, and unusually stark and iridescent color. It is these elements, already in evidence in this early work, that Grünewald was to develop into the masterful, individualistic style most fully realized in his Isenheim Altarpiece.

The Isenheim Altarpiece was executed for the hospital chapel of Saint Anthony's Monastery in Isenheim in Alsace and is now at the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, a nearby town. It is a carved shrine with two sets of folding wings and three views. The first, with the wings closed, is a Crucifixion showing a harrowingly detailed, twisted, and bloody figure of Christ on the cross in the center flanked, on the left, by the mourning Madonna being comforted by John the Apostle, and Mary Magdelene kneeling with hands clasped in prayer, and, on the right, by a standing John the Baptist pointing to the dying Savior. At the feet of the Baptist is a lamb holding a cross, symbol of the "Lamb of God" slaughtered for man's sins. The drama of the scene, symbolizing the divine and human natures of Christ, is heightened by the stark contrast between the vibrantly lit foreground and the dark sky and bleak landscape of low mountains in the background. When the outer wings are opened, three scenes of celebration are revealed: the Annunciation, the Angel Concert for Madonna and Child, and the Resurrection. Grünewald's unsurpassed technique in painting colored light is epitomized in the figure of the rising Christ; his dramatic use of writhing forms in movement is also seen here in the figures of Christ, the arriving angel, and the Madonna.

The Isenheim Altarpiece painted by the german artist Matthias Grünewald in 1506-1515

With Latest U.S. Offensive, Obama Sees Peace In Middle East By 2099

WASHINGTON—(TYDN) President Barack Obama, fresh from commencing a bombing campaign in Syria to knock out Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and al Qaeda militants, said peace should be fully restored to the region by 2099.

"Let there be no mistake, my latest Middle East bombing campaign against militants, and the collateral damage of civilians, will bring peace to the region in an expedited fashion by 2099," Obama said at a Rose Garden news conference here early Wednesday.

Democrats exulted behind what many operatives were calling the president's "bold" assertion that he could bring peace to the region so quickly. Republicans countered, however, suggesting that Obama's military campaign was a political farce.

"This 2099 self-imposed deadline is nothing but politics and is a lofty goal designed to sway voters to the Democrats' side for the upcoming November elections," a well placed Republican strategist familiar with the bombing campaign told TheYellowDailyNews on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.

A U.S.-led military coalition launched as many as 200 strikes Tuesday in two dozen targets in Syria, many in Boukamal adjacent to the Syria-Iraq border. Human rights activists said as many as 10 strikes were launched early Wednesday in the same area.

The U.S. Central Command said Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates participated in or supported the ongoing strikes.

Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy

Program Overview

The Master’s Program in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy is the only COAMFTE accredited program in Ohio!

Marriage and Family Therapist

Marriage and Family Therapists diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within individuals, couples, families, and groups from a relational/systemic perspective. They encourage and assist clients in developing and using skills and strategies for confronting problems constructively.

Mission Statement

The mission of the COAMFTE accredited MFC/T Master’s Program is to train multiculturally-informed, clinically competent practitioners, who operate from a relation/systemic perspective. Our students will be critical consumers of research and value the importance of providing service to the community within the context of interprofessional collaboration.

Goals and Objectives

A fundamental goal of the MFC/T Program is to provide the education and training that prepares graduates for licensure as MFTs.  Graduates are expected to use their knowledge and clinical skills as a path to careers in social, governmental, business, and industrial organizations, including schools, medical settings, universities, public agencies, and the private sector.  While no program can guarantee that graduates will function as intended, it is the intent of our program to attest to a concerted core of knowledge and practice as a means of developing the identity of Marriage and Family Therapist.  Of importance to, and embedded in, the curriculum is the expectation that when students complete their studies the command of the common core elements, as well as specialized curricular experiences, will allow each graduate to apply their knowledge within their setting of choice. For this purpose, the MFC/T Program aligns its course of study with the Ohio CSWMFT Board (, Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 4757 (, and the COAMFTE Accreditation Standards: Version 12 (

Market Demand of Program Graduates

The field of Marriage and family Therapy is a rapidly growing field, with a bright outlook (O*Net OnLine). MFTs have a 25% projected employment growth in the state of Ohio by 2022 (Ohio Department of Job and Family Services) and a 20% projected employment growth by 2020 across the nation, which is much faster than the average for all occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics). MFTs have been recognized as one of the top five mental health professions by The National Alliance on Mental Illness and were ranked by the US News and World Report, in 2017, as #2 in Best Social Service Jobs and #51 among The 100 Best Jobs.

Accreditation Information

The MFC/T Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE, Version 12) and has been approved by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board as meeting the educational requirements for Marriage and Family Therapist licensure.

Only a select few universities in the nation offer this type of accreditation.  This accreditation means that upon graduation students have met the current standards in the field of marriage and family therapy.  Upon graduation, students can elect to take the licensure exam in the state of Ohio for the Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT) license.

Inclusive Ideathon and the Inclusive Curriculum Project

Published: 12th November, 2018

On Thursday 1 November, students and staff from across the University of Leicester came together to discuss how to decolonise the curriculum and create a more inclusive university. The event was jointly organised by the Students’ Union and the university’s Inclusive Curriculum team made up of academic and professional services staff, and coordinated by Azza Abdullah, Education Officer for the Student’s Union, and Mark Peel, Director of Educational Innovation.

The afternoon began with an introduction from Azza Abdullah, who set the tone with her provocation: ‘The question is not, is this important? It’s what are we going to do about it?’ Before we began the task of coming up with a set of recommendations to be considered by the University Leadership Team, Corinne Fowler (Co-Chair of the Race Equality Action Group and Associate Professor of Postcolonial Literature) shared with the group some data about Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and students at the university, highlighting the attainment gap between BAME students and their white counterparts, the under-representation of BAME staff on higher grade contracts across the university, and disparities in the student experience.[1] We were reminded that these are sector-wide issues, and that universities tend to be very slow institutions to change. But it was also noted that Leicester students have long been engaged in struggles for equality (see image); and the strength of commitment and collective sense of responsibility to transform our university and challenge the status quo was clear from the enthusiasm and energy in the room.

In small groups made up of staff and students we were invited to discuss the following:

  • What does an inclusive curriculum mean to you?
  • What does an inclusive university look like?
  • Short-term and long-term goals for the university in creating an inclusive and equal environment.

Ideas included: the implementation of a Positive Action recruitment and promotion policy (as recommended in the Royal Historical Society’s recent report on Race, Ethnicity and Equality in UK History); prioritising ending the BAME attainment gap; introducing compulsory modules on decolonial thought/why is my curriculum white; and creating a staff body that reflects the diversity of Leicester’s student population and the local community.

Following our group discussions, we were treated to an inspirational talk from decolonial activist Melz Owusu, former student at the University of Leeds. Her powerful talk, delivered in the Fielding Johnson Council Suite, where the walls are adorned with portraits of ‘important’ white men from the institution’s history, as well as the newly unveiled portraits of three ‘women of influence’, discussed the need to challenge Eurocentrism and white supremacy, to break down the old colonial structures, and to transform education: ‘Transform decolonial fury into decolonial activism!’

Margaret Byron from the Department of Geography concluded the event by noting that this was not the end of the conversation, but the beginning of an ongoing process. The Inclusivity Ideathon was an exciting opportunity for staff and students to come together, and to be bold and radical in setting out concrete ways to achieve a university that is inclusive of all regardless of gender, race, sexuality, disability and class. We wait to hear how the University Leadership Team will respond to our proposals. In the meantime, this is an opportunity for everyone to discuss, experiment, and begin to rethink, reframe, and reconstruct OUR University.

Inspired by the beauty and poetry found in the everyday, I created this contemporary impressionistic figurative  painting from my aerial viewpoint of pedestrians in Paris. The rain glancing off of the umbrella created an expressive texture which complimented the movement of the figures.

Getting to Know Warren

Warren Keating's paintings start with documentation. He captures subjects on video from birds-eye views, digitizes the film on his computer and, finally, paints them on canvas in an active style he describes as Pixel Impressionism. He merges artistic elements of the 20th Century with 21st Century technology. Warren credits Futurism as well as Richard Diebenkorn and Willem de Kooning as influences in his paintings. Fun fact: Warren’s inspiration for this series came from a vacation to Paris where he photographed passersby from his hotel balcony in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

Commentary: Liberian divorce rule and connectionalism

Not since its founding in 1968 has The United Methodist Church formally condemned divorce. How is it then that a United Methodist conference in Africa has upheld a rule banning divorced clergy from running for bishop? What does this mean for the worldwide nature of The United Methodist Church and its sense of connectionalism?

“Discipline” in United Methodism refers both to the denomination’s book of law as well as the way in which we hold one another accountable in the life of faith. The rule barring divorced clergy from running for bishop in the Liberia Annual Conference reflects both of these approaches to discipline.

Every four years, General Conference legislates changes to the denomination’s book of law. The result is what the United Methodist Constitution refers to as the “General Discipline,” which United Methodists in the United States know as the Book of Discipline. However, this is not the only version of Methodist law currently in force in the worldwide United Methodist Church.

Central conferences (those located outside of the United States) and annual conferences within them may adapt the General Discipline to their missional contexts, provided such changes violate neither the constitution nor General Rules and “that the spirit of connectional relationship is kept between the local and the general church” (General Discipline 2012, 31.5 and 543.7). Thus, The United Methodist Church has many different currently valid books of law within one worldwide connection.

While it is not uniformity in law that defines the connectional relationship, some parts of church law, altered, violate the spirit of this relationship. Does the Liberian “divorce legislation” violate “the spirit of connectional relationship” as it seeks to hold clergy accountable in the life of faith?

We expect clergy to be moral exemplars. Both in the United States and in Liberia, United Methodists have a long history of regulating the moral lives of clergy through church law and expecting clergy to model the highest ideals of the moral life expected of every United Methodist Christian.

In the Liberia Conference, the rule prohibiting divorced clergy from running for bishop has been in place for decades. According to the Rev. Paye Cooper Mondolo, a superintendent in Liberia, this rule is designed to “bring moral credibility to the episcopal office” and is “for the good of the church.” Thus, the Liberia Conference codified a specific standard of holy living for those seeking nomination for bishop.

Divorce in American Methodist church law

American United Methodists do not have to delve too far into their own history to recognize one of the three D’s – debt, drugs and divorce – that would disqualify a person from ordination. Until the mid-20th century, each predecessor denomination of The United Methodist Church included some version of the statement, “No divorce, except for adultery, shall be regarded by the Church as lawful,” in church law. Following this statement was a rule that “no Minister shall solemnize marriage in any case where there is a divorced wife or husband living.”

Since clergy were to model the moral standards expected of all church members, being divorced or marrying a divorced person disqualified a person from ordained ministry. As recently as the General Discipline 1968, The United Methodist Church declared, “The Church does not sanction or condone divorce except on the ground of adultery.”

Since the introduction of no-fault divorce laws in the United States, Methodist prohibitions against divorce have disappeared from the General Discipline. General Conference no longer considers divorce an automatic disqualifier to ordination.

But the Liberia Conference rule shows that attitudes toward divorce can vary in different cultural contexts within United Methodism. Liberia is in the West Africa Central Conference, one of three United Methodist central conferences in Africa. The social teachings in a recent Book of Discipline adapted for use in another central conference, the Africa Central Conference, offer a helpful contrast to the General Discipline on divorce.

For nearly two decades, the Africa Central Conference used an adaptation of the General Discipline 1988. In this adaptation, the primary document of social teachings is not the Social Principles but rather the Special Advices, an elaboration of the General Rules that would have been familiar to American Methodists of the 1920s.

The Africa Central Conference Special Advices explicitly note marriage as a permanent relationship, both a divine and a human institution. The standards relating to remarriage of divorced persons in the Special Advices are similar to those of U.S. Methodism several generations earlier. People who are divorced can only be received into church membership if they repent and may marry only if the divorce was due to childlessness or to adultery or other forms of cruelty. In a statement surely drawn from the Social Principles, the Africa Central Conference also recognizes the right of divorced persons to remarry.

Significantly, the African Special Advices differ from the General Conference teachings by continuing to treat divorce as a sin and by retaining the church’s role in moral discernment of remarriage after divorce.

Connectionalism and a Global Discipline

General Conference’s effort to define a Global Discipline reflects a need to codify at least the essential parts of “the spirit of connectional relationship” that holds The United Methodist Church together. Is being divorced a constitutionally protected “status,” a word that the Judicial Council observes has not been defined by General Conference (see Decision 702)? Furthermore, does General Conference’s inclusion of the Social Principles as part of the Global Discipline negate other expressions of social teachings, such as the Special Advices in the Africa Central Conference?

Rules pertaining to conference membership, ordination and superintendency are not currently included in the Global Discipline. A draft proposal of the General Discipline going before General Conference 2016 includes sufficient latitude to allow Liberia to continue its divorce legislation. The new paragraph (to replace General Discipline 2012, ¶ 405) would read: “Election and Consecration of Bishops— Each jurisdictional or central conference in cooperation with the Committee on Episcopacy may fix a procedure for the election of their bishops according to their own context. Central conferences may fix the tenure and term of office.”

Being in relationship consists of more than adherence to the same rules of polity. The divorce legislation in Liberia comes to the attention of United Methodists in the United States because it is a codification of a shared cultural attitude, at least among clergy in Liberia. Had the Liberia conference delegates merely voted according to conscience against a divorced individual running for bishop (rather than aligning their vote to uphold a rule against all divorced candidates for the episcopacy), it is unlikely that the news coverage would have traveled across the United Methodist connection.

Both “the spirit of connectional relationship” and actual relationships between United Methodists in diverse nations and cultures must go beyond adherence to shared laws. As United Methodists live out a range of attitudes toward divorce and other social issues, General Conference must decide how much local variance to allow in this worldwide polity: Does the Liberian divorce legislation legitimately express that adaptable diversity or does it violate the United Methodist Constitution? Regardless, “the spirit of connectional relationship” is one of many issues with which this church will have to grapple as it learns how to live into its aspirations to be worldwide. The real test of connectionalism consists in the interpersonal relationships United Methodists build among themselves in service to the world.

Stephens based this article on his forthcoming book, "Methodist Morals: Social Principles, Marriage, and Sexual Sin in the Public Church" (University of Tennessee Press, May 2016).

DJ Krome & Mr Time - Brok Out / London Talk [180g Silver Vinyl]

Regular price £10.82 (£12.98 Inc VAT)

Release Date: 24th January 2020

DJ Krome & Mr Time are the original Jungle Dons. They rose to fame with their releases on Suburban Base back in 1992 (‘This Sound Is For The Underground/The Slammer’) which were huge anthems for the rave scene. But when the rougher, reggae inspired sound of Jungle broke through the airwaves of London in 1993, they were part of the original pioneers to make that sound Massif!

They created Tearin Vinyl, a record label that mainly released music from their area of Hackney, East London. Reggae infused riddims with chopped up Akai beats and a bassline to bring down tower blocks.

To celebrate 25 years of the label, Tearin Vinyl’s debut release ‘Brok Out/London Talk’ has been repressed on krome (silver!) 180 gram vinyl. Originally crowdfunded on Kickstarter in 2019, meeting it target in less than 24 hours!

DJ Krome & Mr Time take you back to 1994 with two heavy hitters that were heavily rotated back in the day. This is Jungle Music as it should be heard, written by two of the genres finest purveyors. It’s now 2020 and the Jungle scene paved the way for Drum and Bass, which has since spawned numerous other genres which built the foundations that have supported many of todays EDM producers.

Health Insurance

A valid health insurance is compulsory in Germany from the very first day of your arrival until the day of your departure. Different conditions apply depending on your status and country of origin, length of your stay, etc.

  • EU-Citizens: Regardless of how you fund your research visit, you only need to bring the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to Germany.

  • Non-EU-Citizens: There are two options for non-EU citizens. If your research stay is private or funded by a scholarship, you must take out private health insurance. The monthly fees are dependent on age, type of job, desired benefits and state of health. Visits to doctors and hospitals must be paid directly and are subsequently paid by the health insurance after submission. Each family member needs their own health insurance.

If you receive a contract of employment under German law, you will be insured by the statutory health insurance. Once you start your job, your research institute will take care of the paperwork. If you would like to influence the choice of insurance, please contact your institute at an early stage.

Detailed information on the German health insurance system can be found on EURAXESS - Researchers in Motion.

Personal Liability Insurance

Unlike health insurance, personal liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung) is not compulsory in Germany.

 Cultural Ecology – Unifier, World Teacher
Breaking News

Cultural Ecology

The Brain

Culture – Cultural Ecology – Evolution

The concept of “culture” in its cosmic – multidimensional context means total control of the five-dimensional matrix oneness system focused on the three-dimensional conscious human being.

Culture in its present form is nothing but a cross section of history.

Human evolution is the sum total of human acquired past experiences and shows thereby the degree of his present consciousness. Man’s present condition is the result of his heritage, environment and way of living.

Culture seen from a multi-dimensional cosmic perspective

The concept of “culture” in its cosmic context means total control of the five-dimensional matrix oneness system focused on the three-dimensional conscious human being. This means that cultural value in a cosmic sense is the product of a higher qualitative consciousness process, which, when it starts its operating system on the three-dimensional physical – material plane, escapes the control of the multi-dimensional cosmic energy or the matrix oneness system. The result is a “decosmization process”, i.e. increased mind influence leading to increased entanglement and decreased spirituality (limited consciousness and freedom).

“Spirituality” does not mean “religiosity”, but a higher qualitative multi-dimensional oneness consciousness.

Culture, as people know it today, is education, anthropology and social science. Culture is generally involved in politics which means that culture is of second-hand characteristics. Especially great misunderstanding and illusion prevails when speaking of culture as an idea. Culture in its present form is nothing but a cross section of history.

A three-dimensional consciousness based on a five-dimensional consciousness control is the only accessible way towards a new way of thinking and thereby to the survival of civilization.

The new way of thinking is of a cosmic multi-dimensional character and not limited to three- and four-dimensional matter or form.

The central idea in a society is not increased mind control, materialism or religiosity, but a transformation, an integration with the original zero-point energy, primary energy.

There is a constant interaction between the primary power (original energy), zero-point energy consisting of sound and light, and the secondary power (mind energy), where the mind energy stands for the creation of matter or form.

Cultural Ecology

Cultural ecology is the science of the wholeness. Cultural ecology is a dynamic process with mutual effects, which are understandable both collectively and individually. These effects lead to understandable systems as religiosity, mysticism, occultism, intellectualism etc.

Cultural ecology is a very important concept, implying developmental knowledge of the humanoid species under various conditions, their various consciousness levels and society development, and how these different social and cultural levels may coexist and collaborate.

Cultural ecology is the inner and outer environment that links people together and at the same time links us together with all forms of creation in the universe.

Cultural ecology is the source to social science.

Cultural ecology includes world culture, national culture and individual culture. Cultural ecology can be defined as feedback to the original cosmic consciousness, to the original societal structure.

The actual basis of ecology is culture, which changes us, develops us and restores our relationships with the Universe. Culture as understood by the general mind is not developing seen from a cosmic point of view. It changes our behavior materially.

Material revolution is a path leading to increased consumption and thereby to greater material entanglement.

Matter is a means for our development and not the goal itself. But it doesn’t mean that we must live a miserable life.

Centuries of long time experiences shows that material revolution only results in an increased material standard of living, only leading to increased materialism, egoism, acquisitiveness, jealousy, vanity, lust for power etc. This way man really doesn’t change out of consciousness.

The three-dimensional and material conscious human being is in a cultural context a person producing material values. Education is based on the strive for consumption instead of a higher qualitative (cosmic) development.

The result is well-known: inhuman relationships, unfair policies of distribution, exploitations, environmental disasters, war, more and more severe illness states, etc.

All this contributes to the degeneration and disintegration of society.

Materialism in the long run is degenerating and results in short periods of happiness which later pass over to suffering and destitution. Materialism contributes to human degeneration back to animal state seen from an emotional and consciousness perspective.

We can contribute to cultural rebirth only through a cosmic dynamic process and through a cosmic brain program. Only this guarantees the survival of the society. In the material renaissance the human being has been a consuming creature. Education and development are based on consuming material products, while the spiritual (higher qualitative) “cosmic” development has been pushed aside in favor for nihilistic egoism and materialism.

Human evolution is the sum total of human past acquired experiences during his involution (entrance into the third dimension) and shows thereby the degree of his present state of consciousness.

The present-day condition of man is the result of his heritage (earlier acquired experience) and environment that man stays in for the time being. Applied on each individual is his level of consciousness, his mental, emotional and biological well-being a direct result of his heritage and of the environment where he existed. All this has a permanent influence on the human being from birth up to the present date.

A good mental, emotional and biological-physical condition is the result of a good heritage and of a favorable environment. The heritage is constant and unchangeable. The heritage is written (encoded) in the individual’s soul atom and the DNA’s possibilities and limitations. The environment where the human being lives is alterable, and at the same time it interacts and influences him from the date of birth to the end of life in the three-dimensional physical universe or matter.

Our past lives (heritage factors), chosen or forced upon way-of-living, our surroundings and their impact on us are the causes to our health and/or illness state that we live in today.

Our current well-being is often the result of several coexisting causes, i.e. heritage, surroundings, way of living. By changing our bad habits through ridding ourselves of negative thoughts from our subconscious data field and make sure our actions are in harmony with our original cosmic surroundings and environment, we can create conditions to change our actual situation. This helps us regain a condition of well-being and increased consciousness.

If the individual’s own will and capacity is given the right guidance of a competent teacher, the individual will achieve the fastest and best results.

Mental, emotional and physical well-being are the basic fundaments in the human development process towards higher dimensions. Therefore, a higher qualitative cosmic master teacher is necessary to teach us about the universe – hyperspace in its entirety.

Only a master teacher (professor) of Cultural Ecology equipped with a multi-dimensional cosmic consciousness has access to all knowledge concerning the human spiritual, implicit (folded) unmanifested nature and the mind related explicit (manifested), mental, physical consciousness and development.

Only such a master teacher can teach man of how to reawaken the timeless truth in his innermost being thereby releasing him from all kinds of limitations.

//Sandor A Markus

NOTE: Since “man” in his so-called spiritual, virtual original context is a “soul-bearing atom”, he is referred to as “He” and not “She” in our writings, literature and education. The Soul atom is neutral and positively charged and dons both “masculine” and “feminine” form (housings) during his development process. The Soul as a neutral and positively charged atom has neither with the masculine or feminine form in creation to do. The form belongs to the mind world that constitutes the negative charge and is the contributing cause to the creation of the mind world, form.

The Soul, Spirit belongs to the unmanifested zero-point energy, First Source, Central Universe, and the mind belongs to the Second Source, the manifested kinetic energy, electromagnetism. These two forces together create the creation in its entirety.

Visiting Assistant Professor
Lamont House 206
Department/Program: Anthropology

Research interests

Suzanne Barber’s research focuses on environmental anthropology, human-animal interactions, and social activism. Her dissertation, titled Persistence is Power: Modes of Action in the Chinese Animal Protection Movement, examines how and why the Chinese animal protection movement has been able to flourish while the Chinese government has increasingly censured other forms of social activism. Based on fieldwork carried out in Southern China, this work explores how animal protection advocates work to normalize the expectation that Chinese citizens should show empathy towards their fellow species and move beyond a more traditional ontology that supports a human/animal binary. She is currently working on a manuscript based upon this research.

Classroom Furniture: How You Can Pick the Right Pieces

Making the right choice when buying classroom furniture can be the key difference between buying furniture every year and having a long-lasting investment. However, the quality of furniture you buy can lead to profound effects on the students. With access to proper furniture, the learning abilities of the students are expected to increase, which makes the students perform better.

Having the right furniture in the classroom boosts the productivity of the students. For example, the use of floor chairs with back support allows the students to be more relaxed. This, in turn, leads to many learning benefits such as increased attention levels among the students. It is also essential to consider the natural movement of students when looking for suitable classroom furniture to purchase. Students are expected to sit on the chairs for at least six hours, five days a week. They are prone to adjust their sitting posture from time to time as they try to stretch or sit more comfortably. Therefore, the selected furniture should facilitate natural body movements while they are seated.

When you are looking for the right classroom furniture, you have to spend wisely. It is imperative to come up with a budget before you explore all your options. You can come up with a floor plan, which will give you a visual of the final layout. The layout will provide you with information on the number of chairs and desks that you need in the classroom. That will go a long way in helping you come up with a budget. It is essential to not base your decision solely on the attached price. That is because it is not always proportional to a product’s quality. As such, strive to get high-quality classroom furniture at the most reasonable price possible, provided the furniture is durable and comfortable. Consider checking out reviews by previous buyers to identify suitable suppliers from whom you may request quotations.

When buying classroom furniture, it is vital to remember that one size does not fit for all. When selecting classroom furniture, consider the possibility that different students, especially those in different levels, differ in height. Hence, they require furniture of varying sizes. For example, the chairs should be of different sizes to accommodate students of all sizes. You can also consider choosing furniture whose height is adjustable as a single student can use the same seat through the years. Other than the size of the furniture in relation to the students, the size of the acquired furniture should match the size of the classroom. The furniture should leave adequate space around the classroom and between separate rows for students to move around freely and conveniently. The teacher should also be able to move freely around the classroom.

When you are looking for the right classroom furniture, you need to ensure that the furniture is comfortable, flexible, and durable. However, if you want to purchase stylish furniture for the classroom, you have to be ready to pay more. Having high-quality classroom furniture can be the key determinant of the performance of the students.

In industrial operating processes, electronics are exposed to dirt, moisture and other ‘dangers’ that can shorten the lifespan of the equipment. Dirt can also cause problems in the production process and can even affect the end product. Professional cleaning of sensitive components is therefore essential. We have specialised equipment to clean your electronics.

The process in short

You send the industrial electronics to us.

  1. We dismantle the equipment and isolate the components to be cleaned.
  2. A ‘washing machine’, filled with cleaning fluid, uses ultrasonic vibrations to separate dirt from the component.
  3. We then thoroughly rinse the component in a special bath of demineralised water.
  4. The drying time depends on the size of the electronics.
  5. The dismantled electronics are reassembled.
  6. All cleaned electronics are carefully tested, if possible, to guarantee 100% operation.

  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Anti-cancer
  • Helps with muscle soreness
  • Anti-inflammation
  • Helps with constipation and regulates normal digestion
  • Keeps you hydrated

The high nutrient of vitamin C in watermelons help prevent developing asthma.

Studies have shown that watermelon extract supplementation reduced ankle blood pressure, brachial blood pressure and carotid wave reflection in obese middle-aged adults with pre-hypertension or stage 1 hypertension and that watermelon extract improved arterial function.

The excellent source of vitamin C has also shown to help combat the formation of free radicals known to cause cancer.

Lycopene intake, also found in watermelon have shown to  help protect against heart diseases and has been linked with a decreased risk of prostate cancer prevention.

Due to the  water and fibre content in watermelons, it has shown to help prevent constipation and promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract.

As watermelons are  made up of 92% water and full of important electrolytes, it is a great snack to have on hand during the hot summer months to prevent dehydration of the body.

Another versatile nutrient found in watermelons is  choline that aids our bodies in sleep, muscle movement, learning and memory. Choline also helps to maintain the structure of cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists in the absorption of fat and reduces chronic inflammation.

Muscle soreness has been shown to be improved by intake of watermelon and watermelon juice thus improves recovery time following exercise in athletes.

Watermelon is also fantastic for your skin because it contains vitamin A, a nutrient required for sebum production which also keeps hair moisturized. Vitamin A is generally required for the growth of all bodily tissues. Watermelon also contributes to overall hydration, which is vital for having healthy looking skin and hair.

Getting Work
Philadelphia, 1840-1950

Walter Licht

336 pages | 6 x 9 1/4
Paper 2000 | ISBN 9780812217193 | $26.50s | Outside the Americas £21.99
A volume in the series Pennsylvania Paperbacks

"Exemplary. . . . A major contribution."—Journal of American History
"Licht contributes greatly to an understanding of the work force, the community, and the role of government and educational institutions on the economy."—Philadelphia Inquirer

"This is the way labor history should be practiced: not a fable about good and evil, but an engagingly written, thorough examination of the mundane, yet important, day-to-day working of the labor market."—Journal of Economic History

"A comprehensive treatment of how people became and remained workers in one of the nation's largest cities, and in it are lessons for today."—Journal of Interdisciplinary History

How did working people find jobs in the past? How has the process changed over time for various groups of job seekers? Are outcomes influenced more by general economic circumstances, by discriminatory practices in the labor market, or by personal initiative and competence?

To tackle these questions, Walter Licht uses intensive primary-source research—including surveys of thousands of workers conducted in the decades from the 1920s to the 1950s—on a major industrial city for a period of over one hundred years. He looks at when and how workers secured their first jobs, schools and work, apprenticeship programs, unions, the role of firms in structuring work opportunities, the state as employer and as shaper of employment conditions, and the problem of losing work. Licht also examines the disparate labor market experiences of men and women and the effects of race, ethnicity, age, and social standing on employment.

Walter Licht is Professor of History and Associate Dean at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Working for the Railroad: The Organization of Work in the Nineteenth Century (recipient of the Philip Taft Labor History Prize), Industrializing America: The Nineteenth Century, and coauthor of Work Sights: Industrial Philadelphia, 1890-1950.

Caught on Camera
Film in the Courtroom from the Nuremberg Trials to the Trials of the Khmer Rouge

Christian Delage. Edited and translated by Ralph Schoolcraft and Mary Byrd Kelly

352 pages | 6 x 9 | 77 illus.
Cloth 2013 | ISBN 9780812245561 | $65.00s | Outside the Americas £56.00
A volume in the series Critical Authors & Issues
View table of contents and excerpt

"While other scholars have focused on film-as-evidence or trial-as-film, Christian Delage, a historian and documentary filmmaker, addresses both in this meticulously researched book. Tracing the double history of the use of film in legal cases and the filming of court proceedings, Delage reveals how what we see on film in and of human rights trials is a modern construction rooted in the Holocaust and its aftermath. . . . Caught on Camera will be of interest to anyone wanting a historical lens through which to analyze our culture's current obsession with cell phone-generated footage and its potential to transform adjudication for human rights abuse."—American Historical Review

"Caught on Camera provides an invaluable overview of the role films played in the historic international criminal trials that so indelibly marked the second half of the twentieth century. Ranging in scope and rich in reference, this admirable book shows how prosecutors used films as evidence in court and how court sessions were themselves filmed and widely diffused for public audiences. As the international community continues to struggle with the legacies of Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur, the original perspectives Christian Delage offers will helpfully inform the ongoing quest for justice."—Stuart Liebman, Professor Emeritus, CUNY Graduate Center

"Meticulously researched and highly topical, Caught on Camera is the first scholarly work to tell the story of the impact of film on advocacy, trials, and legal judgment. Historian, filmmaker, critic and adjunct professor of law, Delage is ideally qualified to uncover the extraordinary narrative of the introduction of film into legal evidence in the Nuremberg trials and its subsequent and expanding role in tribunals and international criminal proceedings to the present day. In a meticulously researched and fluently argued analysis, this book not only exposes the link between visual evidence and war crimes trials but also, and even more surprisingly, shows how film has subtly and persistently impacted the staging, process, performance, and even architecture of law."—Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law

When the Allied forces of World War II formed an international tribunal to prosecute Nazi war crimes, they introduced two major innovations to court procedure. The prosecution projected film footage and newsreels shot by British, Soviet, and American soldiers as they discovered Nazi camps. These images, presented as human testimony and material evidence, were instrumental in naming and prosecuting war crimes. At the same time, the Nuremberg tribunal was filmed so that the memory of "the greatest trial in history" would remain strong in future generations. In the decades that followed, the use of film in the courtroom greatly influenced the conduct of the Eichmann trial—and subsequently the trials of Klaus Barbie, Paul Touvier, and Maurice Papon in France, as well as the proceedings against Slobodan Milošević and the Khmer Rouge Kang Kek lew.

Combining the practical knowledge of a renowned director with the perspective of a historian and media specialist, Christian Delage examines archival footage from these trials and explores the conditions and consequences of using film for the purposes of justice and memory. Revised and expanded from the original French publication, Caught on Camera retraces the steps by which the United States pioneered jurisprudence that sanctioned the introduction of film as evidence and then established the precedent of preserving an audiovisual record of those proceedings. From the Nuremberg trials to the current Khmer Rouge trials, Delage considers how national attitudes toward the introduction of filmic evidence in court vary widely, and how different countries have sought to use film as a recordkeeping medium. Caught on Camera demonstrates how reproduced images, as evidence, testimony, and archival documentation, have influenced the writing of modern history.

Christian Delage is a historian and filmmaker based at the University of Paris-VIII, who has been elected the incoming Director of the Institut d'Histoire du Temps Présent. He has also taught at the Institut d'Études Politiques (IEP) in Paris and the Cardozo Law School in New York. His film Nuremberg: The Nazis Facing Their Crimes, narrated by Christopher Plummer, was released in 2007 and is now available on DVD. He served as a policy advisor on the filming of the Khmer Rouge trials and produced Cameras in the Courtroom, a documentary about the filming of legal trials.

Ralph Schoolcraft is Associate Professor of French at Texas A&M University. He is author of Romain Gary: The Man Who Sold His Shadow and translator of The Haunted Past: History, Memory, and Justice in Contemporary France by Henry Rousso, both available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Mary Byrd Kelly teaches in the Department of French and Italian at the University of Kansas.

Boston, MA - Much like Paul Revere who rode around Boston to warn the Sons of Liberty that the Redcoats were coming to the Colonies, fans near and far are aware that the New York Yankees are on their way to town. The Red Sox are certainly no underdog in this series.

Sitting at 75-34 with the best record in the MLB, it seems like the Red Sox never lose. Yankee fans certainly feel this way as their team has fallen five and a half games back in the American League East division. But all of that has the potential to change with this upcoming rivalry's four-game weekend. If Boston sweeps or wins the series, the Yankees are probably going to have focus on that Wild Card game. If the Yankees sweep the Sox or win the series, then it's going to be a very interesting September. A series split would raise more questions than it would answer.

In any other year, the Yankees would be runaway winners of the division. But the Red Sox are an unstoppable force right now and they managed to have a magic number of 43. In July. That's almost unheard of.

Just because the Sox have been a juggernaut, that doesn't mean a series win versus New York is a guarantee. The Yankees have a tendency to play to their opponent's talents. Just because they lost games to the Royals and Orioles, it doesn't mean they're punching up against Boston. Even then, the Red Sox are going to be without Chris Sale and Rafael Devers for the series, giving New York a major leg up.

That being said, the Yankees' near equivalent of Sale, Luis Severino, has struggled as of late so ace pitching matchups will not necessarily be featured in the next four games. And the Yankees will also be missing their star, Aaron Judge.

The series is up for grabs and if New York wants to make a race of the division, they'll have to rise to the occasion. But Boston might be looking to put away their foes before they even have the chance to mount a comeback. This is what baseball is all about!

An empire in collapse. A daring escapee.
A deeply personal program of music from a time of turmoil — and hope.

Violinist Elmira Darvarova was communist Bulgaria’s worst-kept artistic secret. News of the young virtuoso’s talent had circulated in the West during the 1970s — even coming to the attention of Jascha Heifetz. An artistic collaboration with legendary cellist János Starker led to her daring escape from Bulgaria. She emigrated to the United States, where she eventually became the concertmaster of the MET Orchestra and founder of the New York Chamber Music Festival. Darvarova has extensively recorded both classical and world music, championing scandalously underexposed works by such composers as David Amram, Amanda Maier, Franco Alfano, and Joseph Marx.

Violin Declamations from the Twilight of the Workers’ Paradise is her most personal recording to date — a program of solo violin works from the waning years of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union by composers, including several that had been denounced as dissidents in their own countries, whose music was exposing the cracks in the “glorious workers’ revolution” — but also expressing glimmers of hope. The program includes four world premiere recordings. Darvarova also includes a detailed essay on the music and a first-hand account of artistic life behind the Iron Curtain.

Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978): Sonata-Monologue for solo violin (1975)
Sylvie Bodorova (b.1954):Dža More – Gypsy Ballad (1990)

Afrodita Kathmeridou (b. 1956): Two Miniatures for solo violin (1978) — World Premiere Recording
Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998): Praeludium in memoriam D. Shostakovich (1975)
Dmitri Smirnov (b. 1948): Two Fugues for solo violin, Op. 6 (1970)
Nikolai Badinski (b. 1937): Dialoghi per violino solo (1973) — World Premiere Recording

“Songs for Mahler in the Absence of Words”

When I heard this program presented during the 2011 New York Chamber Music Festival, in honor of the centenary of Gustav Mahler‘s death, I knew it had to be recorded. The New York Piano Quartet brought the sort of urgency to Mahler’s earliest surviving work, the opening movement of what was to be a longer Quartet for Piano and Strings, that has eluded every other performance and recording of this work that I have heard. Three distinctly different realizations of Mahler’s sketches for what was to be the quartet’s second movement are also featured — a completion in the grand romantic style by Enguerrand-Friedrich Luhl, the angular, almost expressionist movement by Soviet master Alfred Schnittke, and Gernot Wolfgang‘s jazz-infused From Vienna With Love. The program also includes works commissioned for the concert in remarkably divergent styles by Wang Jie, Cristina Spinei, Barney Johnson, Noel Zahler, Patricia Leonard, and Nicolas Prada. The players and I have dedicated this recording to author and critic Norman Lebrecht, an indefatigable champion of Mahler’s music.
