ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Julio Lugo homered twice during a 10-run fifth inning, helping the Tampa Bay Devil Rays build a big enough cushion to hold on for a 13-12 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
Lugo hit a pair of two-run homers. Russell Branyan, who also had four RBIs, added a three-run shot in the fifth to help the Devil Rays build a 10-3 lead against Baltimore starter Rodrigo Lopez (6-11).
13-3, then nearly left the game slip away when Baltimore rallied for nine runs in the seventh.
SEATTLE — Normally reliable shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s sixth-inning throwing error allowed Eduardo Perez to score the tiebreaking run, spoiling Kason Gabbard’s major league debut and helping Seattle win.

Waidroka Bay Resort owns and operates a fleet of boats to choose from for various purposes. All of our boats are continuously looked after and maintained to a high standard to ensure our guests safety. Our boat drivers are all local and know the reefs extremely well. They are all specifically trained to operate the boats for surf trips. Our ‘Boats’ are listed below and on any boat trip will always stay with surfers at the various surf-breaks. The boats will always stay on special moorings near the surf spots in safe channels and boat drivers will remain on the boat at all times to ensure safety, as well as serve as a haven for the surfers wanting to rest, have a drink or eat their lunch.
All boats always go out with mobile phone (nowadays there is coverage even at Frigates Passage and many of our guests send back surf pictures straight from the boat) and are always in touch with the base at the resort. Water, snacks, lunch packs and if you wish to order bar drinks will always be onboard, as well as of course medical kits. Our boats are always in contact with base and we ensure maximum safety.
“YAMMY” 23 foot fiberglass Yamaha boat with single 40 HP Yamaha outboard. The “YAMMY” is our local reef boat and has a low drought, is simple to use for quick sessions to any one of our local surf breaks. She can handle the outside reef very well with a V-Hull shape and is great for quick trips anywhere. The YAMMY is the quickest and simplest way to get to any local surf break or dive site and due to its size and drought is the most versatile in our local reef conditions.
“WAVE HUNTER” 29 foot fiberglass Yamaha boat with single 4-stroke 90 HP Mariner. The “WAVE HUNTER” has a roof top, she will go with larger groups to our local surf breaks, as well as out to Frigates and is as fast and comfortable as any of our larger boats.
“WAVE RIDER” 30 foot aluminum mono-hull with a twin engine Yamaha 115HP setup. The “WAVE RIDER” is our larger work horse and spends most of her time taking our surfers to trips further out, mostly for fast Frigates trips and back. She has a roof top. The Wave Rider is a V-Hull shape, is spacey with much comfort.
“FIJI EXPLORER” 32 foot aluminum catamaran with two new 225 HP Mercury Optimax outboards. The “FIJI EXPLORER” is our largest boat and will take out large surf groups only, mostly when there are larger parties and groups. She is one of our larger and faster boats, specifically designed for large groups, with a back entry ladder for easy step up and has a hard roof top.
“DAU WAI” (Wtare Expert) 35 foot aluminum catamaran with twin 300 HP Mercury Verado 4-stroke outboards. The “DAU WAI” is our largest boat and will take out large dive groups (up to 18 divers), mostly when there are larger parties and groups.

This past weekend at the IFSA Junior National Freeride competition and Ski The East Freeride Tour Finals at Jay Peak Resort in Vermont, athletes Irian Adii and Charlie Agricola received the 2019 Flyin Ryan award for exemplifying Ryan’s core values. The award recipients were selected by coaches from multiple programs based on observations at Jay Peak this weekend as well as events attended during the 2019 competition season. Irian is a member of the Smugglers’ Notch Ski and Snowboard Team, and Charlie is a member of the Jay Peak Freeski and Ride Team.
Additionally, Smugglers’ Notch athlete Kelton Poirier was presented a Flyin Ryan award for smart decision making in a fast moving and high pressure situation. Partway into his competition run as he was about to drop into the very challenging waterfall chute, Kelton realized that the risk level was just too high for him on that day. Instead of throwing caution to the wind and continuing against his better judgement, Kelton showed maturity beyond his years by making the difficult decision to stop and climb out of the zone.
Thank you Kelton, Irian, and Charlie for setting the standard for our Freeride community!
The awards were presented by IFSA/Flyin Ryan Foundation board member Bryan Salatino with assistance from 2017 and 2018 Flyin Ryan Award recipients Parker Herlihy and Matteo Campbell.

MSGM jacket, SAINT LAURENT BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO t-shirt, pants, shoes, belt and bracelet.
When you’re a young, up-and-coming film actor with growing cachet, it would stand to reason that if you were living in New York City, you might plant your roots in a trendy area. Maybe the East Village or the Lower East Side for the cool cafes and lively nightlife, Bed-Stuy or East Williamsburg for close access to thriving artistic communities. But when you’re a young, up-and-coming film actor with growing cachet and a kind of maturity well beyond your years, there are other considerations in mind. For nineteen-year-old Charlie Plummer, “looking cool” is not, at the moment, one of them.
To spend a considerable amount of time with Plummer, as well as watching his films, is to understand why he might feel this way. Plummer, who won the Marcello Mastroianni Award for best emerging actor at the Venice Film Festival last year for his role in the Andrew Haigh-directed Lean On Pete, is not really your average teen. That’s because the characters he’s chosen to play over the few short years of his post-adolescent career have not been easy—they’re dark, sad, abandoned, lonely, often put in tragic circumstances that are out of their control and spiraling fast. It’s no wonder he might, during his down time, seek some peace and quiet.
ACNE STUDIOS jacket, MISSONI shirt, CK JEANS jeans, and stylist's own hat.
The most recent of those troubled characters was Charley Thompson, a teen boy who, after becoming unexpectedly orphaned, finds solace in an aging racehorse named Lean On Pete. Acting alongside Steve Buscemi, Chloë Sevigny, and Steve Zahn, Plummer performs youthful idealism that turns into a desperate search for hope, a hope that he looks for in anyone, anywhere. The film is a road trip movie in the loosest sense of the term—Plummer’s character, with his companion horse, are on a trip across the country that gets darker and more traumatic as the slow days pass. But it’s Plummer’s talent for appearing both wizened and child-like that carries the movie through more than a handful of sinister moments. You need not know much about Charley—and by extension, Plummer—to instinctively root for him.
LEVI'S jeans and jacket, LEVI'S MADE AND CRAFTED shirt, SAINT LAURENT BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO necklace and bracelet, and stylist's own hat.
His close family feels the same way. When the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, Plummer’s parents, grandparents, and then eleven-year-old brother traveled to Europe to support him.
Plummer was born in upstate New York, but his family moved around a lot throughout his life, so the Upper West Side has only recently begun to feel like home. His mother is Maia Guest, primarily a theater actor, and his father, John Christian Plummer, is a writer and producer. Because of their occupations, relocating to places like Salt Lake City and L.A. for shoots and stage productions was treated as an inevitability.
DIOR HOMME jacket and pants, COACH shirt, and stylist's own hat.
That kind of collaboration and teamwork has taken him from projects like the Oscar-nominated drama All the Money in the World (the same one that Christopher Plummer, no relation, was green-screened into after sexual misconduct allegations were made against Kevin Spacey) to the Duncan Skiles-directed suburban thriller Clovehitch. He’s now acted alongside Marisa Tomei, Timothy Olyphant, Andy Garcia, Amber Heard, Mark Wahlberg, and Katherine Langford. Michelle Williams has played his mother. He’s been directed by Ridley Scott. Dylan McDermott has been his father. Steve Buscemi has acted as his begrudging caretaker. One of his favorite moments in the industry so far was meeting Guillermo Del Toro at the Venice Film Festival, where the beloved filmmaker had just won the Leone d'Oro for The Shape of Water.
STELLA MCCARTNEY shirt and stylist's own hat.
Earlier this year, director Ridley Scott said that Plummer reminded him of Leonardo DiCaprio, predicting that, like the recent Oscar-winner, “he’ll have a big career.” In King Jack, where Plummer plays a teenage loner who is often shirtless and wearing a long chain, DiCaprio does feel omnipresent. In his role as John Paul Getty III during his harrowing kidnapping, Plummer telegraphs a pure anguish, oscillating between resignation for the position he is in and frothing anger toward a world that allowed this to happen. The viewer hungrily craves reprieve for Getty, a feeling that DiCaprio has evoked often in his own films.
But DiCaprio is not the first comparison that has been foisted on Plummer, and until the young actor gains a solid foothold in the Hollywood imagination, it likely won’t be the last. For his roles in both King Jack and Lean on Pete, critics compared his demeanor and skill to the late River Phoenix. In looks, it’s obvious—like Phoenix, Plummer’s mien is both boyish and world-weary, innocent and tormented. In talent and style, the effect is more subtle: the pair offer so much openness and emotion to the screen while appearing to do so little. To better understand his predecessor, Plummer tasked himself with watching the thirteen films Phoenix acted in in his short twenty-three years. It didn’t take long for him to grow obsessed.
OFF-WHITE C/O VIRGIL ABLOH jacket and pants, SAINT LAURENT BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO shirt and belt, and stylist’s own shoes.
While slowly working his way through a couple sunny-side-up eggs, Plummer lowers his eyes and speaks intently when talking about Phoenix—on this subject, he wants to get his words exactly right. He just watched Phoenix’s My Own Private Idaho again for the fifth time, in 35mm at The Metrograph, and the actor has been on his mind.
Is the hope that Plummer will do a similar kind of thing in his own work?
DIOR HOMME jeans, SAINT LAURENT BY ANTHONY VACCARELLO necklace, belt and bracelet, stylist's own shirt and shoes.
If you’ve watched any of Plummer’s films, you might beg to differ. But only to a certain extent: with mile-long stares, protracted silences, and hope against hope that a better world exists somewhere out there, Plummer’s characters could not be retrofitted to be played by any other actor. He is a true original, with an evocative talent that is all his own.
For his part, Plummer doesn’t spend a lot of time mulling over past successes, or applauding his achievements. His tendency, he explains, is to always be looking toward to what’s next, though, for his own emotional wellbeing, he’s occasionally had to stop himself from worrying too much about what he can’t control. Either way, one thing seems to be certain—there will be more, and bigger projects to come.
Case in point is Clovehitch, a terrifying thriller about a serial killer who is closer to Plummer’s character than he would like to believe, will release this fall. As we chat about the project, I explain that I found the movie difficult to get through. Before I can say it was because I am easily frightened, he unblinkingly responds, “Oh, no, no, that’s totally fine!” Ever humble, he’s ready to accept that a journalist who had come to interview him did not even like his upcoming film and wanted him to know it. I explain that I did like it—I was just terrified. “I thought you were going to be like, ‘Oh, it's just not good,’” he laughs, gently.
We begin to wind down our conversation, but not before I ask Plummer about how he sees the industry evolving, especially now that he is one of the anointed class of freshmen who will inherit it, flaws and all.

U.S. Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., said Wednesday he fears the Senate Judiciary Committee's plan to question the woman accusing U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanuagh of sexual assault on Monday will turn into a "spectacle."
Jones had previously called for a pause on Kavanaugh's nomination until the National Archives could fulfill Democrats' request for records during the judge's tenure as staff secretary to President George W. Bush. Alabama's senior senator said the sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford reinforces the the need for the Senate to be thorough in vetting Kavanaugh for a lifetime appointment to the court.
"I am afraid that it will just be a spectacle and not a fact-finding mission" if the hearing is on for Monday, the senator said on a conference call with Alabama reporters. "It's very important that we get a full and fair investigation. What's happening right now is, in my view, unconscionable."
Alabama's junior senator said he is also in favor of an FBI investigation into the allegations, which were leaked last week.
Ford claims that when she and the Supreme Court nominee were teenagers in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh pushed her onto a bed and held her, groped her and put his hand over his mouth to prevent her from screaming. Kavanaugh denied the allegations and denied being at the party where Ford claims the alleged incident occurred.
When the allegations first surfaced Thursday, 65 former female classmates of Kavanaugh at Georgetown Prep lent their names to a letter vouching for his character. Two dozen alumnaes from Ford's Maryland prep school signed a letter supporting her.
The claims have led Democrats to argue for a pause on Kavanaugh's nomination. Republicans say it is a stall tactic to give Democratic candidates an issue to campaign on.
Jones said the motivation for investigating is to get to the truth and that there is no reason for the Senate not to be thorough.
"This is not an effort to intentionally delay, it's an effort on my part to say we need to get this right," he said. "It's in the 11th hour only because of the artificial deadline that Republicans put out there. ...I just think pushing forward is showing an incredible lack of respect for Dr. Ford."
Noting that Ford has received death threats, Jones said the Judiciary Committee should give Kavanaugh's accuser time to prepare.
"It's not easy to get prepared for a hearing like this, and I've been in this position before where you had to do something at the last minute and it's just not good," he said.
The senator said he is still keeping an open mind on Kavanaugh's nomination.
Updated at 2:43 p.m. to indicate that Jones believes a Monday hearing would be a spectacle, not a closed-door hearing.

Evans’ multi-million truck yard uncovered in Lagos - News of the People http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com covers every facet of Nigerian Entertainment industry and the world. From News, Gossip, Comedy, Videos, Blogs, Events, Weddings, Nollywood, Celebs, Scoops and Games, we serve our readers up-to-date information on showbiz personalities, profiling celebrities and news around them.
Notorious kidnapper and billionaire, Chukwudumeme Onwumadike popularly known as Evans, may have more properties and assets than initially declared.
A report by Daily Sun indicates that policemen attached to the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT) have uncovered a truck yard which he acquired from the proceeds of kidnapping.
This is even as police detectives have arrested his secretary, one Ngozika Ezeokoye who went into hiding as soon as she learnt that police had nabbed her employer.
Evans had confessed to the police that he used the proceeds from kidnapping to establish several businesses including a haulage company that has not less than 10 trucks.
He was said to have accessed the financial worth of some of his victims who patronised his haulage company.
He also told the police that four of the most recent trucks acquired were gotten from the N150million ransom paid by one of his victims.
Now in police custody, Ngozika claims that she never knew that her boss was into kidnapping.
Her words: “I used to work with a bank till I retired because of the poor condition of work. I got a job with CMT motors in 2015.
“Initially, our warehouse was in Apapa till they moved us to 235 Ago Palace way in Okota in 2016. My job was to take note of trucks that go to work, their destination and amount due for each trip.
“The company has eleven trucks and all the vehicles original documents in my possession. The name of my boss is George Onwuamadike and every money is paid into Chinwuba multi trade limited.
The notorious kidnapper then pleaded guilty when he finally made his court appearance.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Bentley University senior Connor Mulvey-Hudson (Ardmore, Pa./St. Joseph's Prep) swam to victory in the 100 yard breaststroke Saturday night for the Falcons' first gold medal of the 2015 Northeast-10 Conference Men's Swimming and Diving Championships at Southern Connecticut State's Hutchinson Natatorium.
Mulvey-Hudson edged Saint Rose's Elie McRae by just two-hundredths of a second to claim gold with his time of 58.18 seconds just 0.01 off the school record. He had qualified with a 58.41, second best behind McRae's 57.88.
Bentley earned silver in the 200 free relay with juniors Sebastian Bury (Bellevue, Wash./Newport Senior HS) and Tim Connolly (Dorchester, Mass./Boston Latin Acad.) combining with sophomores Liam Bartlett (Syracuse, N.Y./William Nottingham HS) and Davis Wilson (Ransom Canyon, Texas/Lubbock HS) for a school record 1:24.58. That bettered the standard of 1:24.63 set at last year's championships.
The 200 freestyle was a strong race for the Falcons with junior Owen Karl (Rochester, N.Y./ Brighton HS) earning bronze with a 1:42.93, Wilson fifth (1:44.31) and junior Kevin Diefenbach (Hamilton, N.J./Steinert HS) sixth (1:45.58).

It took a few years of market development but mCommerce has finally arrived. As consumers migrate to smartphones, tables and the mobile web to shop, online retailers are waking up to this mobile market place.
With online sales via Desktop PCs flatlining in 2013 for the first time since online shops became a reality, the growth of online shopping via the mobile device is notable.
Overall sales for all merchants in the top Mobile 500 list (US and outside US) will increase about 71% to $30.5 billion from $17.8 billion in 2012.
Interestingly, retailers who process the mobile transactions of their clients such as eBay or Alibaba actually account for about 60% of the $85 billion in global mCommerce sales. However, in the US there is clearly a shift from third party handling of mCommerce such as eBay transactions to direct retailer to consumer mCommerce activity.
For some merchants on the Mobile 500 list, mobile isn’t just the fastest growing portion of their entire eCommerce program, it’s also rapidly becoming the biggest.
Mobile already accounts for as much as 60% of sales at web-only flash-sale merchant RueLala.com. And the retailer is estimating that Mobile could account for as much as 60% of sales in the following year. Of course flash-sale retailers work well with mobile. Where deals have a short shelf life, have a customer who can respond quickly with mobile is a match made in heaven.
But it’s not only flash-sale merchants who will benefit from the growth in mCommerce. For all online retailers the mobile device will become a shopper’s tool that cannot be overlooked.
Mobile devices. Is your website offering a good experience to your users?
What can we take home from this?
One might want to shrug off that mCommerce is different to other online activities that web users take part in. Not so. It’s just that retailers have excellent data tracking software that allows us to be so well informed about mobile and its impact on the web.
Do not for one moment think that those very same mobile device shoppers are going to go back to using their Desktop PC to visit your website. In fact for the younger generation, the 18 to 28 year olds, they might not even have a Desktop PC anymore. For them their smartphone or tablet could be the go to gadget for all things internet.

Graduate Studies has allocated Federal Work-Study (FWS) awards to graduate programs to be used for Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) positions during the 2018-19 academic year. This allocation is designed to give graduate programs additional funds that may be used for the support of quality graduate students who show financial need. The Graduate Financial Aid Office (FAO) manages the awarding process.
75% of the salary will be covered by FWS funds from the US Department of Education.
75% of the Tuition & Fee remission will be covered by UC Davis central campus funds.
25% of the salary, 25% of the Tuition & Fee remission, 100% of vacation, sick, and holiday pay, and 100% of any applicable nonresident supplemental tuition (NRST) remission will be charged to the salary fund source (affiliated department account or an individual faculty research grant). Nonresident supplemental tuition would only be applicable for first-year, domestic, students who have not established CA residency.
If your salary fund source is an eligible extramural research grant, the buy-down program will rebate 25% of the Tuition & Fee remission expense and 25% of the NRST remission expense (if applicable) that was charged to the salary fund source.
The amount of salary cost that can be covered by FWS funds per quarter is capped at $2,256.75 for one unit (75% of $3,009) and $4,513.50 for two units (75% of $6,018). Should a program decide to hire a student participating in the FWS Program at a GSR step and FTE that pays a gross salary above $3,009 for the quarter (or above $6,018 when awarded two units of FWS), the program is responsible for covering all of the salary cost above $2,256.75 (or $4,513.50 if awarding two units).
Grant cost-accounting generally requires that charges be in proportion to the effort devoted to that project. Thus, when a GSR appointment is split between multiple fund sources, the apportionment of benefits costs must be allocated according to the FTE allocated to each fund source, as reflected by the percentage appointment. For GSRs participating in the FWS Program, this policy requirement has an impact on the cost sharing of fee and tuition remission between Central Campus funds and the program fund source.
For example, if a program decides to award one unit of FWS to a 25% FTE GSR at the GSR Step V salary rate, this would result in gross salary expense for the quarter of $3,465.75 (using 2018-19 salary rates). For one unit of FWS, $2,256.75 of the salary is covered by FWS funds. $2,256.75 is only 65.12% of the total salary cost of $3,465.75. Tuition & Fee remission must follow the salary apportionment according to the distribution of total FTE. Therefore, in this example, 65.12% of the Tuition & Fee remission cost will be allocated to Central Campus funds and 34.88% will be assigned to the program salary fund source.
In summary, if you choose to pay a student participating in the FWS Program a gross salary above $3,009, your program fund source will be responsible for the salary cost above $2,256.75 and more than 25% of the Tuition & Fee remission. The individual gross salary paid will determine the remission cost above 25% for which your fund source will be responsible.

Agent Swifty Lazar, Pioneer Deal-Packager, Dies at 86 : Hollywood: He parlayed boldness into a star-studded client list and hosted legendary Oscar night parties.
Irving Paul (Swifty) Lazar, Hollywood's best-known literary and talent agent whose tenacious deal-making and star-studded client list made him a pioneer in the packaging of modern motion pictures, died Thursday night.
The agent died at his Beverly Hills home of kidney failure, according to friend and social secretary Teresa Sohn. He was 86.
Dubbed Swifty after he accepted a dare and made five movie deals in one day for his friend Humphrey Bogart, Lazar had since the 1940s commanded record-setting fees for hundreds of writers, producers, directors, choreographers, composers and lyricists around the world.
For more than three decades, Lazar's famed Oscar night party--held most recently at Wolfgang Puck's Spago restaurant--had made him a celebrity host as well.
Distinguished by his shiny, bald head and black-rimmed Mr. Magoo glasses, the 5-foot, 2-inch Lazar had a giant reputation as a tough, sometimes brazen negotiator. He liked to say he could assemble the essential elements of a movie from his clientele--all except the actors, whose constant need for reassurance, he said, usually made them too time-consuming to have as clients.
"Packaging is what I do a lot of. Except for the actors," he told Joseph Heller in 1963, just before he sold the motion picture rights to Heller's novel "Catch-22." "I'm what you might call a catalytic agent."
Indeed, Lazar's career traced the arc of ascendancy of the agent in America.
"The town will be much poorer without him," said dancer Gene Kelly, a Lazar friend for 50 years. "A lot of towns, including London, New York and Paris."
Serving as a liaison between disparate talents and the studios or publishers who sought their help, Lazar was among the first agents to shape entire productions--a job he found satisfying as well as lucrative. When he sold "The Seven Year Itch," he collected commissions from George Axelrod, the author; Charles Feldman, the producer, and Billy Wilder, the director.
"He made more out of 'Itch' than anybody else," Axelrod told the Saturday Evening Post.
But Lazar's knack for assembling the creative forces of Hollywood was perhaps best illustrated each Oscar night, when he and his wife, Mary, who died in January, hosted their exclusive, glitzy party.
The black-tie dinner, which lured hundreds of stars and star-seekers from the Motion Picture Academy's official proceedings, was a magnet for legends and ingenues alike. The party kept the spotlight focused on Lazar long after some of his earliest big name clients, such as Truman Capote, Ira Gershwin, Vladimir Nabokov and Cole Porter, had died.
It was an elaborate production. To ensure that no one had to sit near an ex-husband or ex-scriptwriter, guests nibbled duck sausage pizza and toasted dill brioche in two rooms. To keep from elevating one room or the other to instant A-list status, Lazar had no assigned seat, preferring to roam back and forth between such personalities as Michael Jackson and Paloma Picasso, Elizabeth Taylor and Quincy Jones, Tony Curtis and Jimmy Stewart.
The fete was just one example of how Lazar loved to mix business, socializing with the rich and famous--from Sinatra to Madonna--and never wasting a sales opportunity.
To clinch a deal, he was said to have accosted one studio executive as he dined at Romanoff's and another as he emerged naked from a steam room. Once, while flying coach class in the 1950s, Lazar spotted Spyros Skouras, the head of 20th Century Fox, sitting beyond the partition in a first-class seat. It was the last time Lazar ever skimped on travel.
"I could have sold Skouras $300,000 worth of stuff," he grumbled to Time magazine.
Over the years, Lazar's eccentric behavior became legendary--a process that Lazar, knowing the value of a good story, did not discourage.
The bantam-like agent's distaste for dirt caused him to wash bars of soap before he used them. A hypochondriac, he had his sheets changed twice a day. When he stayed in hotels, he had a path of towels laid out between the bathroom and the bed--the place where, telephone in hand, he made many of his deals.
It was said that if Lazar was not invited to a party, he would arrange to leave Los Angeles so he could say he had been out of town. According to legend, in order to fall asleep at 2 a.m., the manic Lazar had to begin swallowing sleeping pills at dinner time.
Nearly as often as not, Lazar sold properties that he had not been retained to represent.
"Consent of the author is not necessary for me to work in his behalf," Lazar told Heller. Later, he told The Times: "The greatest fun is to sell something you don't represent at all. If I like something I go out and sell it. I usually manage to get paid anyway."
Lazar saw himself as more than a hired hand. He was a super-agent, a man with vision and with enough well-connected friends to turn vision into moneymaking reality. Lazar thought his friend, novelist Irwin Shaw, had put it best: "Every writer has two agents, his own and Irving Lazar."
Even Lazar's birth became fodder for tale-telling. Lazar liked to say he was born in 1907 in stately Stamford, Conn.--he even listed that as his birthplace in "Who's Who." But in truth, he was born in a tenement apartment on Manhattan's lower Eastside.
The oldest of five sons, he grew up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn where his father, a German immigrant, owned a butter and egg wholesale business. The neighborhood was rough--Lazar said he learned survival skills from sparring with street gangs. From the gangsters, meanwhile, he received his introduction to fashion. Clothes would soon become an obsession.
From age 10, his growing wardrobe consumed much of the money he made washing bottles and doing other odd jobs. He spent the rest at the theater, watching such vaudeville performers as Sophie Tucker, who would later become a client.
Lazar went to Fordham University and then Brooklyn Law School, where one of his professors--recognizing Lazar's well-honed persuasive talents--hired him to solicit students for a Bar preparation class. Lazar made enough on commissions to finance what would become a lifelong habit: He almost always picked up the check.
Lazar graduated in 1930, worked briefly in a Manhattan law office representing show business clients and became an agent at the Music Corporation of America. The reason, he said, was simple: He preferred an agent's 10% commission to an attorney's 1%.
For the next decade, Lazar booked bands and acts in New York and around the country, spending his evenings hopping between nightclubs--a habit that prompted Walter Winchell to call him "the rabbit."
One day Lazar learned that a nightclub was looking for a Hawaiian bandleader. Lazar, who knew of a Hawaiian who was playing bit parts in radio, told the club owner he had just the man for the job. Forgetting the Hawaiian's name, Lazar invented one: Johnny Pineapple. For years afterward, David Kaohoni and his band toured under that name.
In 1942, Lazar--who at age 35 was too old to be drafted--enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He was the smallest man in his class--a fact that led Heller, writing about his agent in Show magazine in 1963, to joke that the tiny lieutenant was often marked absent at bed check although present and asleep.
While in the service, Lazar pulled off the deal that would change his career. Assigned to Mitchel Field, Long Island, he heard that the Air Force was going to produce a show that it hoped would rival "This Is the Army." Lazar immediately fired off a memo to the military brass listing the big names he could attract.
Lazar said he could sign Rodgers and Hammerstein to write the songs, George Kaufman and Moss Hart to write the sketches, and Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart as headliners--none of whom he had ever met. Given the go-ahead by Gen. Hap Arnold, Lazar approached Hart, who said he would consider the project only if he got an invitation from Arnold himself.
"To my astonishment," Hart told the Saturday Evening Post years later, "a telegram came."
Lazar accompanied Hart to Arnold's office, and when the general demanded to know what was up, Lazar launched into a sales pitch. The resulting show, "Winged Victory," boasted the talents of Hart, Red Buttons and Mario Lanza and raised more than $5 million for Air Force relief.
When Lazar got out of the service, Hart lured his new friend to Los Angeles and helped induct him into the dizzy world of Hollywood society. He introduced Lazar to lyricist Gershwin and his wife, Leonore, whose house served as a gathering place for many of the city's creative spirits--Howard Arlen, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall and Bogart, to name a few.
It was Hart who persuaded Lazar that it was possible to invent himself as a new kind of gentleman agent who moved in the same witty and glamorous circles as his clients. Later, Lazar would acknowledge that Hart created him.
Soon, Hart began peppering his phrases with multi-syllabled words and Briticisms, dropping his Brooklyn accent and adopting Noel Coward's "dear boy" at the end of his sentences.
It pained Lazar to see himself described as a Hollywood agent, as if affiliation to a single city implied a lack of sophistication.
"I am a literary agent. A national literary agent. . . . You can't be a Hollywood agent and handle Moss Hart, Teddy White, Arthur Schlesinger, Roald Dahl, Noel Coward, Francoise Sagan, Georges Clouzot," Lazar once told New York magazine, commanding the magazine's reporter to "write that this misnomer always annoyed Lazar."
Lazar won new clients with his reputation and his bravado. Shaw, the writer, said he grew to admire Lazar after the tiny man joined Shaw and several other tall friends in a rough game of riding ocean breakers on a rubber raft. Only later did they discover that Lazar could not swim.
In 1962, at age 55, Lazar--a notorious ladies man whose personal telephone directory was once indexed "Girls--Hollywood," "Girls--Vegas," "Girls--New York," and "Girls--Europe"--got married. His bride was a striking former model in her 30s named Mary Van Nuys, and once they were wed, some said, Lazar's social cachet only improved.
But as the Hollywood movie moguls with whom he had dickered for years retired and were replaced by what he called "nervous executives," Lazar shifted at least some of his attention from Southern California.
In the 1970s and 1980s, he added more East Coast writers to his clientele, such as Art Buchwald and Theodore White, and invested in various Broadway shows. For sometimes four months a year, the Lazars would abandon their Beverly Hills home in favor of their Manhattan apartment around the corner from the swank Le Cirque restaurant, where they often entertained.
Lazar was blunt in his criticism of the new generation of studio executives.
"Those whiz kids who come into the business without any frame of reference but television, I don't understand them," he told The Times in 1980. "Vulgarity seems to be their answer to everything. . . . These baby moguls are interested in only one thing: making money."
Lazar and his wife, who opened her own production company around that time, became more involved in movie-making. He was a producer on several projects, including the television adaptation of Colleen McCullough's romantic novel "The Thorn Birds." His sale of the television rights to Shaw's "Rich Man, Poor Man" was said to have spawned the TV miniseries as a form.
But Lazar's heart--and most of his energy--remained with his literary clients. And he made no apologies for the clients he chose. In the early 1970s, Lazar, a lifelong Democrat, agreed to represent Richard Nixon, promptly selling the former President's memoirs for a reported $2 million.
Late in Lazar's life, after many of his friends had died, the agent persisted in traveling and hosting his parties. Axelrod, the writer, told New York magazine that he believed that Lazar was determined to be forever young.
"His theory is that he can't possibly die if he has tickets to the ballgame," Axelrod said.
Years before his marriage, Lazar wrote a will that left every cent to the wives of a dozen of his friends.
The will, written in the 1950s, reportedly stated that the 12 women--among them the wives of Axelrod, Bogart, Gershwin, Hart, Shaw and Wilder--were to be entertained at a three-day party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lazar was even said to have planned the menu for his wake.
"It ought to be one hell of a do," he told the Saturday Evening Post. "I wish I could make it myself."

When the iPhone 7 was announced back in September, Apple revealed its most polarizing design choice since the iMac shipped without a floppy drive: the new iPhone doesn’t have a headphone jack. Cupertino decided to keep the iPhone as unnecessarily slim as its predecessors, adding a larger battery and vibration motor branded the “Taptic Engine” by omitting one of the most ubiquitous and widely adopted connectors, the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Apple had numerous other paths it could have gone down; there was nothing inevitable or courageous about the tech giant’s crippling of its flagship product. Firstly, they could have made the phone a millimeter or two thicker so as to keep the much-beloved audio port. Alternatively, Apple’s other choices included shrinking the battery and leaving out the vibration motor.
There was another conclusion Cupertino could have come to, a decision they have made before: have the headphone jack serve double duty as the charging port. This was the route chosen with the iPod Shuffle, a product Apple still sells. Being that “the world's smallest MP3 player” has used this method for recharging its battery since 2006, the decade-old ecosystem of cables and docking stations would have been much less user hostile than Apple’s boldfaced push of its now indefinitely delayed wireless earbuds.
Apple was at a crossroads when developing the current iPhone: do what’s best their customers or do what’s best for their bottom line. Apple’s failure to do right by its customer base and alienate the billions of wired headphone users goes to show where Apple’s priorities lie.

Fleetwood Town concluded their Youth Alliance League season with an emphatic 3-0 win away at Burnley.
First half goals from Jordan Hancox and Nathan Sheron put the young Cod Army two to the good, before Louis Myers completed the scoring with 20 minutes to play to wrap up the three points.
The win meant Town’s youngsters ended their campaign on a high, having won three out of four league games in recent weeks, in a season which had also seen them reach the FA Youth Cup third round for the first time in their history.
For the final encounter of the season, Craig Madden handed starts to several schoolboy scholars, with Elliot Wynne remaining in goal, alongside the front two of Myers and Hancox.
It would be the Clarets who created the first chance of note when Christian Hill lashed the ball wide on the half volley.
Town’s first opening came after seven minutes, but Myers’ header was comfortably saved by Burnley goalkeeper Connor King.
Fleetwood’s opening goal came courtesy of Hancox in the 15th minute, when he profited from Myers’ clever flick on to stab the ball into the back of the net.
Thomas Coulson then saw his driven free-kick gathered by King, as Fleetwood looked for a second in a game they were dominating.
Daniel Mooney also went close, as his mazy run culminated in a long-range left-footed shot which went inches wide of the post.
At the other end, the defensive duo of Andrew Smith and Lewis Baines were able to thwart any Burnley advances towards goal.
Madden’s side would get their second goal through Sheron just before the break, as he bundled the ball in following a goalmouth scramble.
Josh Dolling spurned a half-chance for the hosts at the start of the second period, as his effort was smothered by the on-rushing Wynne.
Fleetwood, now oozing with confidence, were keen to cap off a fine team performance with a third, but having been played in by Michael Tetteh, Hancox’s shot was well held by King.
With 70 minutes on the clock, Fleetwood netted their third goal of the game when Myers reacted quickest to latch onto a ball which had hung up in the air, before skimming his man and drilling left-footed into the far corner.
Wynne was finally called into action with eight minutes to play, diving to his left to superbly claw Khuiz Metz’ effort away.

Greetings in the Name of the Lord. My dear friends, I bring you blessings as usual. Blessed is this hour.
There is so much fear, shame and separateness in the human heart! We recognize it again and again. The fear and shame are often hidden away, so that the personality is not even aware of them any more and just suffers vaguely in a continuous, gnawing pain. How sad it is to observe this, particularly because it is unnecessary. It is but a phantom, my friends. The fear and shame you are so busily hiding have no reality, and yet spoil the life you could enjoy and could use for building up your spiritual strength.
I am continuing this series about the images in the human soul, for there is no person who does not have them. Such inner impressions are formed in young years, and from those impressions wrong conclusions were drawn. These very images are responsible for your suffering, for the phantoms you carry about decade after decade, and often incarnation after incarnation.
You all strive for the light of God, for liberation from your chains. But how many, many, people seek this liberation by outer means such as intellectual knowledge, or by outer events, whereby it cannot possibly be achieved. The only way you can reach the freedom that you strive for is to delve into yourself. In that way you will go through a tunnel of darkness and emerge on the other side to encounter the light of true independence. Only after you have recognized your own responsibility for the darkness while passing through the tunnel—which is not an easy experience—will you have truly gained real independence. So do not seek this liberation outwardly. It is of no avail. If you have not yet found and dissolved your images you are ensnarled by them. You are constantly reenacting the drama of your own errors and wrong conclusions. You are caught in them unawares, and you repeat and repeat and repeat throughout your life, and, as I said, often through many lifetimes, what your own wrong conclusions are leading you to and actually drawing toward you.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough for all my friends who have not yet really started on this search that it is worth while. This self-search is the only thing in life that matters and that will bring relief. I would like to advise all those who have not yet had such an experience to talk to those friends of mine who have already had some success in their endeavors, and whom I congratulate. For nothing can prove better what this search is all about than the experience of those who are already on the way.
You may be hesitant about starting because you do not know how to go about it. You may even lack the courage to ask for advice and help. Therefore it may be wise to start by discussing this with the very friends you know so well and who have already been quite successful in this endeavor. Those who search for their images cannot help but go through confusions and upheavals for a while and encounter reluctance and resistance. But these are the very causes you have planted within yourself, and you cannot eliminate such points of suffering unless you go through them and understand their real meaning. You need to recognize the hidden significance of your erroneous defense mechanisms, no matter how much you may have consciously rationalized them. All the doubt and mistrust you have for others is in reality nothing but the distrust that you have for yourself. Remember that! Find out why you distrust yourself. You will find at the root that you do not live up to your own standards and you cannot accept this fact. So the first step must be simply to accept yourself as you happen to be at this time.
I know I have said this often, but you will find it necessary to apply this truth again and again on new levels of your being. If you search successfully, you will encounter within yourself the trend of wanting to be more than you are, and that is why you feel insecure. And that is also why you doubt others. Unconsciously you reason: “Since I am not true to myself by wanting to appear better and greater, I am not trustworthy. Others probably are the same.” One always judges others according to oneself, even if this self-knowledge is not conscious. If you can truly find this inner reasoning, if you let it come out into the open, so that you can experience the entire reasoning process consciously, it will give you a great clarification. It is not enough to think that this is probably what is going on within yourself because it makes sense. It is absolutely necessary that you discover and experience this reasoning and how it works personally in your case; what it applies to; in what way you react in exactly that way.
Needless to say that at first you will be reluctant to discover this within yourself. It seems much easier and more pleasant to resist and rather distrust others, and to justify your distrust with rationally well-founded arguments. But once you have overcome the resistance for the sake of truth, in the spirit of the real truth-seeker by asking: “What is actually going on in me?” then you will feel the relief and freedom that only facing one’s own truth can bring no matter how unpleasant it may at first appear, no matter how unflattering in itself it is. The self-respect you must be lacking as long as your self-contempt is hidden will automatically vanish, at least to some degree, even before you have changed your inner attitude, by the mere fact that you had the courage to face the truth within yourself.
There are many factors that are important to understand, and tonight I will discuss a few more concerning images and the search for them. Often you do not understand what made you retain an impression upon which you formed a wrong conclusion. Your mind has grown up, has changed by what you have learned from your surroundings and from life. Yet, while your image is alive, you have not changed.
At one time in your childhood you had a shock. When you think of a shock, you think of a sudden experience with a very strong and unexpected impact, like an accident. But a shock may also happen, particularly to a child, in a more gradual discovery that things are contrary to one’s dearest and most cherished expectations. For example, a child lives with the idea that its parents are perfect and omnipotent. When the realization dawns upon the child that this is not so, it comes as a shock, although the realization may often come by a series of events until the new discovery makes its lasting impression. When a child finds out that what it used to believe about its parents, or the world as such, is not true, it loses its security. It is frightened. The child does not like what it finds and therefore will push this unpleasant knowledge into the unconscious and, because it feels guilty, will also build defenses against what it considers a threat.
Whether it happened suddenly or in a slow realization, this threat is the shock referred to. You all know that shock causes numbness. Your body, as well as your nerves and your mind, become numb, even to the extent that you lose consciousness temporarily or have other symptoms. Thus the child will experience a shock because parents, the world, or life, are not the way the child thought them to be. Although the impression that created the shock may or may not be objectively correct, still, the deduction the child is capable of making must be wrong. Because children tend to generalize, they disregard all other alternatives and project their conclusions onto all other situations. A child’s parents are its world, its universe, therefore what the child concludes after the shock must be applied to everyone else, to life in general. This is the wrong conclusion that creates the image.
The image was created when the orderly world and concepts of the child were destroyed. The wrong conclusions derive, first, from the generalization. The reality is that not all people have the same shortcomings as the parents; not all conditions of life are similar to those the child discovered in its own surroundings. Second, the defense mechanism the child chooses with a limited understanding of the world is wrong as such; it is even more so when applied to people and situations other than those in the early surroundings. This, my friends, is the way images are created. But you will not remember offhand your emotions, your reactions, your inner intentions, and your conclusions. You cannot remember them because you felt the need to hide this whole procedure for its lack of rational logic, and also because you were ashamed that your parents were not what you thought they should be.
In your child’s mind you assumed that your case was singular. Everyone else had perfect parents, perfect home conditions, and only you alone experienced this shocking uniqueness that had to be hidden from everyone, even from yourself, as well as, of course, from your parents or others close to you. The shame arose from the mistaken idea that your case was unique, and the whole thought and emotional process had to be hidden away because of the shame. When these processes remain hidden, part of your personality cannot grow up with the rest of your being. It could not change and adjust and learn. For only what is out in the light can grow. If a plant is left in the earth with its roots cut off, it cannot grow. It is the same with every emotional current or tendency. Therefore you should not be surprised when you discover that your image-conclusions conform not at all to your otherwise grown-up intelligence.
The same process exists with animals. A dog, for example, may hear the same kind of noise every time before he receives food. After some time he will respond instantly, knowing that food is now coming. When he hears the noise, he will come to the place automatically. The dog has thus formed an image, in this case not from a shock but from repeated impressions, and drew a conclusion. Or, to use a different example: One dog is burned by a fire and gets hurt. Whenever he sees fire afterward, he will be frightened, particularly if he has been burned not only once, but several times. The image has formed that fire hurts, the conclusion made that all fire hurts. Another dog may experience fire only as something pleasant. When the fire is lit, he is with his master at the fireside. His master caresses him, has time to play with him. So this dog will not have a fire image. So you see that the same procedure works even with animals. Otherwise you could not train them. With a child it is similar.
An infant or a very young child knows only the most primitive emotions. It knows what feels good or bad. It knows love and pleasure when its will is done. It knows hatred, resentment, and pain when its will is not done. It is as simple as that. Only much later in life does one learn to evaluate more objectively and not according to one’s own pain or pleasure. While your image lives, you continue the childish procedure because in that respect your mind remains childish, regardless of how much the rest of your personality has improved and learned. Your developed personality is capable of judging maturely on the intellectual level, and, in some instances where no image-currents obstruct your perception, even emotionally. But where this slow or sudden shock-impression has affected the soul, one does not assimilate the experience consciously, and therefore one’s mind remains childish. It remains in the state in which it was when the image-conclusions were formed and pushed into the unconscious.
In many of my lectures, a long time before we started to discuss the images, I mentioned the term “emotional maturity.” Now you will understand better how it happens that a part of an otherwise mature being remains immature. Actually, this part continues to make the same deductions, emotionally and unconsciously, as the child had made, so long as the image is not lifted into consciousness. Thus is it possible that you discover conclusions and faulty reasoning within yourself that do not at all correspond to the rest of your person. You may find it shocking, at least for a while, to recognize the primitive way in which your inner emotional reasoning functions. Considered in the light of this explanation, you will know that part of you simply could not grow up because certain parts were left submerged in your unconscious; and you will not be surprised to find, still living within you, the child that has not assimilated what you otherwise learned. That is why images cannot be found unless one relives emotionally one’s childhood and penetrates the irrational layers of consciousness. Merely remembering is not enough. Without some procedure to make this possible, it is out of the question to find your images. That is why I have suggested certain techniques. You will find that your image-conclusions are logical in their own limited way. You may even be surprised about the reasoning faculty, faulty as it may be, that exists in your unconscious. It is the reasoning of the child living in you. This is the way you reasoned when you were perhaps ten years old or less.
The tragic thing about the images is that they assume power. They will make you see and notice only certain things, connected with your image-conclusion, and in such a way that the image will be constantly supported and strengthened in later life. Your image-conclusions conflict with the grown-up desires and aims of your life, and thereby cause not only a painful discrepancy, but untold conflicts and problems with your conscious goals, as well as with the reality of life. This must be understandable to all, even if you do not believe that emotions and thoughts are forms, creating emotional magnetic fields that draw events, people, and experiences toward you.
The more unconscious the emotions and the greater the complexity of thoughts, the more powerful they must be, because while unconscious they are out of your control and cannot be adjusted to reality. Thus they are inflexible and rigid. Therefore, your images and their conclusions must repeatedly bring you into situations you did not consciously ask for. But your image-conclusions necessitate them.
It is very important, my friends, to understand all this. The rigidity, the unyielding nature of the images generates the following sequence of events: You want life to move according to your desires. When things do not happen as you wish, you kick and scream inside, like the baby you still are in that part of your being. This immaturity takes over wherever your image is affected. Mature beings know they can control life only by going with it, by not demanding that life follow their wishes, but following life by adjusting to it. Where you have your image, you do not adjust. You demand, and you throw a temper-tantrum inside when your demands are not met. These demands are made on very faulty premises. Therefore, you may get what you ask for, but you also get what is part of your unconscious demand. Being unconscious, you did not know of it.
You want a certain thing, a way of life—whatever it may be—for its advantages, but you ignore—as the child ignored—that every advantage has a disadvantage. So when, with your insistent inner crying and demanding, you get the supposed advantage, you also get its disadvantage. You do not like the disadvantage you unconsciously asked for, and think that life has treated you unjustly.
It is extremely important that you consider all this when you search for and discover your images. It will help you considerably, my friends. All this will be just words only as long as you do not go through the experience of image-finding. Once you get started, you will be able to use a lot of what I taught you constructively. It will give you a deeper, profounder understanding and will help you a step further.
As I have said before, everyone who is getting close to nearing an image-recognition feels a profound shame. You do not feel shame because all of a sudden you discover something very wicked or hideous. No! You may be much more ashamed of something that is merely silly. When you formed this image, the reasoning that makes you ashamed now was in your childhood in accord with your capacity to reason and think. Only relatively is it silly. And you, intelligent human being that you are, find it difficult to reconcile yourself to the fact that such a “silly” reaction actually lives in you. You are now at the point when you recognize that this has been your faulty deduction, your wrong conclusion for years and years. Now you are quite embarrassed that this was part of your mind, below your consciousness, but still part of your mind, your reaction. It will make it easier for you to accept this if you consider that in this respect you remained a child because you left the entire reasoning process in the darkness of your unconscious. It will help also to realize that there is no one among all those you know who does not have his or her own images, and similar incongruities. If you conversed with a four to ten-year old child, you would not be surprised at such reasoning. Realize that and you will overcome your embarrassment. Consider that you are not the only one. However, most people do not realize this and keep their images covered. Therefore you certainly have a great advantage through self-awareness, knowing your own “stupidities,” while others do not know theirs. Yes, my friends, this sounds strong, but in the infant part of your soul, as compared with your conscious mind, you will discover childish stupidities.
When you first search for your images, you will probably be more concerned with your inner conflicts and with the wrongness of the conclusions as such. You will review your reactions. You will reexperience the wrong emotions and compare them, in theory, with the right principles. And that is as it should be. But after you have thoroughly understood all this, much more work has to be done. You have to find out not only in what respect you have reenacted your images, going from one pattern to another, but you also should begin to evaluate everything that happened in your life; things that are apparently not at all your doing. They just happened from the “outside.” When you think of some of your life-experiences, asking “What could I possibly have had to do with that? I did not lift a finger to make it happen, it just came to me,” your everyday logic will agree. Yet, after you have found your images, you will see that every event, regardless of how out of your control it seemed, was called forth by yourself.
At the first moment of discovery this may be shocking, but not necessarily. The first glimmer of recognition is often already a relief. Even if at the first moment the discovery seems preposterous and incredible, relief must always follow, for then you can clearly see the connection between your image and a happening that appeared to be random or coincidental. The moment you understand how you have directed your life, how you have caused events of which you seemed the victim, you will gain the certainty that you are not a drifting little boat tossed by the winds on a great stormy ocean. You will realize that there is no injustice, and that will make you strong and safe.
You will become mature by the mere acknowledgement of the principle and the truth of self-responsibility as demonstrated in yourself. You will understand how your hitherto unconscious desires, trends, and attitudes have governed your life. But now that so much has become conscious, you will be able to control, govern, and direct your life in consciousness, and thus be the captain of your ship. In this way you will approach life with joy and strength, my dear ones. You will have a strong feeling of certainty. It will appear to you as if you had firm ground under your feet for the first time in your life.
My dear friends, perhaps you have a few questions in connection with this subject, before we turn to other questions.
QUESTION: How do images and complexes combine?
ANSWER: A complex is a symptom, or an outcome of an image. A complex in its manifest form is a camouflage of its real content. For instance, someone may have an inferiority complex about his intelligence. This is manifest. This he thinks he knows. In reality he covers up a very different emotion of self-contempt; perhaps what I mentioned at the beginning of this lecture, that he knows he is not true to himself, that he wants to be more than he is. A complex, of course, is connected to an image. It is a part of it. It is a message that there is an image. You can easily recognize a complex, in others as in yourself.
The image in your soul appears to us like a hardened form. The healthy soul where there is no image shows itself to us as a glowing form, and, like the universe, is continuously in motion. Everything is flexible and flowing. All divine forces that flow through the whole universe and also penetrate the human soul constantly flow in multicolored splendor, in harmony with the qualities, characteristics, and personal trends of the entity. But where an image exists, the forces of the human soul are hardened, constricted and twisted, and they remain rigid. Therefore all these healthy and beautiful strengths and forces of the universe that the soul needs for revival cannot penetrate, cannot enliven it. They have to flow around it and that creates a disharmony. You know that every quality is a healthy strength that mates with a corresponding strength in the universe, whereas every fault is a twisted strength. A complex too is a twisted strength, but twisted in a way other than a merely simple fault which is on the surface. It comes out of the image. Can you visualize what I am trying to explain?
Perhaps one of my dear friends here who is an artist will be inspired to draw such an image form and around it, outside the image, paint the many-colored cosmic forces in beautiful, harmonious motion, and also show how they stagnate and congest where the hardened image exists. Out of the image come sharp and twisted forces, and these would be the complexes.
QUESTION: You say images are a general fact, everybody has them. Why do we have to have them? Why does one have to have images?
ANSWER: Everybody does have them, but you do not have to have them. You create them.
ANSWER: No, not for development, but out of ignorance. From self-will and pride. Everything that the Fall has brought about. You chose it so.
QUESTION: Did I understand that right: Any event about which we really can’t do anything was caused by our images?
ANSWER: You understood correctly. Except when it is a question of the karma of a previous life. But the principle is exactly the same, inasmuch as you reap what you have sown. But you have sown it in a previous life and you reap it now. That may be the explanation of a one-time event that may not have anything to do with an image, in the exact sense. But, my friends, even in cases like that you will still find the root in your image. Because if a karma has not been paid off it must mean that the root is still within the self. If you had paid off the karma, you would not have the root anymore. You may find in yourself the same faults and trends that in a former life caused you to commit a graver action, one that you would no longer be capable of committing because of your development. Nevertheless, the same root must still be there, for otherwise you would not have that karma. You will be able to find it in the depth of your soul, and certainly enfolded in your image.
QUESTION: This means that karma and images make a vicious circle?
ANSWER: Of course. If you will reread the lecture I gave some time ago on birth, now that you have learned about the images you will understand how it works. You may remember that I explained that when the entity is prepared for life, certain problems are left closer to the surface in the fluidal body. And according to these problems, parents, country, and life-circumstances are chosen, so that you can become aware of the image and challenge it if you so choose. So, karma and images must work hand in hand.
If you have certain experiences in your childhood, it is because you have certain parents, and a certain environment. This was most suitable for you, according to your entire incarnation-history, so as to bring out your problems for the purpose of your development and purification. You cannot purify, you cannot eliminate a problem or a fault if you do not first become aware of it. To become aware of it, something unpleasant must happen, otherwise you would never pay any attention to your inner disharmonies. Karma, as you all know, is nothing else but cause and effect. The same law works also within one lifespan. If in this present life you find your images and wrong conclusions, you will understand, see and experience in your own person the truth of the law of cause and effect clearly demonstrated. Thus you will know how karma works. It is the same principle, only more extended in time, over a span of several incarnations.
QUESTION: If, for instance, somebody dies in a concentration camp, which is a karmic effect, how does that combine with the images? What kind of image would there be?
ANSWER: Oh, my dear friend, there are millions of possibilities of images. I cannot possibly enumerate them all. You will gain more understanding about these things by continuing the work you are doing, not only on yourself, but also by working with others. If you can translate the “milder cases” into stronger cases of law-violations, then you can imagine quite easily that a heavier karma is built on the same principle as in the cause and effect of image-conclusions. Both draw events built on wrong conclusions which are always violations of divine law and truth. It is only a question of degree.
It does not make any difference if deviation from law and truth occurs out of ignorance and error or is committed willfully. The principle remains the same. But when a person deviates from divine law consciously, because his spiritual development is still so low, an image will not result. An image is the result of unconscious reasoning, deduction, and conclusion. A conscious, willful law-violation will draw outward effects, that which you call karmic results. An inner violation in the emotions, remaining hidden in the unconscious, will create an image and will have a different effect. Here the law-violation happened in a lesser degree, and in the unconscious. So the two alternatives we are discussing operate on the same principle, but they are not identical.
If a criminal kills someone, this is not an unconscious act and you cannot speak about an image when he reaps the fruits of his action. But he may in the next incarnation wish to kill without doing so, suppressing his desires, keeping them, perhaps, as an imagined defense against the hurts of life, against the fact that his wishes are not fulfilled. This may then create an image. But you cannot say that every crime that is committed and every punishment for it is due to an image. The image comes from unconscious wrong reasonings and factors. It contains desires and conclusions that more primitive people act out in consciousness.
QUESTION: What happens in a case like the death of the many children in Chicago who burned in a fire. When those little spirits come into the spirit world, is a death like this not a tremendous shock?
ANSWER: Well, my dear, you know that children die and I have often discussed this. If it did create a shock in certain cases, then it was good for the entity. It had to go through it. And if it was not good for the entity to experience a shock, it would not have gone through it. You can be sure about that.
QUESTION: How can a child spirit reason?
ANSWER: Why not? Before it was incarnated, it was not a child spirit. It was a grown-up spirit and it voluntarily undertook a short life. Perhaps the spirit preferred to choose a violent, unpleasant death and get it over with quickly, so as to be reborn after a shorter span and then start on a higher level. You know that entities have their own free will and choice to a large degree. Others may prefer to do it more slowly. Whether an occurrence in a state of shock, for a child or a grown spirit, makes sense or not, the experience will be evaluated and assimilated afterward and whatever the entity experiences will be fruitful and not for nothing.
Let us again take an example: A person is responsible for many cruel deaths, like in a concentration camp. Since this example was chosen before, we will use it again. This spirit is in the spirit world and sees he has debts to pay, he has much to learn. He may be given the choice to remain in the spirit world for two to three hundred years, by your earth time measurement. In this period, existence cannot be very pleasant for him. The sphere he has created for himself with his thought forms, the forms of his emotions, as well as with his deeds is a dark and dismal one. Afterward, an incarnation is waiting for him where certain possibilities exist, but they are again limited, due to what he has called forth. None of these possibilities can be too pleasant or easy. And then such an entity may ask: “Is there no other way to get this over with more quickly?” And then he may be told, “Yes, there may be ways. You can be reincarnated very soon, perhaps in ten, fifteen, twenty years, and while you help fulfill the fate of some parents who have to go through the hardship of losing a child, you yourself can pay off a great deal by enduring a violent and unpleasant death. Would you prefer that to the other alternatives you have and then start on a cleaner slate for your further development? And many a spirit desires this. This is only one possibility, there are many others. But you ought to know by now that there is no injustice and no coincidence.
QUESTION: Disregarding the question of justice, doesn’t it appear as a strange coincidence that there should be wholesale slaughter of many individuals, like for instance in a concentration camp, and that such a large group is burned in a fire? Isn’t there some sort of wrong thinking or action there?
ANSWER: There is no coincidence. You see, when you go back in history, you will see that there were always times when great cruelty existed and mass slaughter happened. After certain intervals it happened again, the next time caused perhaps by another group, another nation. You can be quite sure that in the following period the former torturers then became the victims. Because that is what they have drawn to themselves. I do not say that this applies to every individual case. There may be cases when the retribution, or effect of the cause set in motion, may be carried out in a different way in an individual fate. Then again, some victims may have undertaken a special task, voluntarily enduring more through one incident like this than they normally would have had to go through in the desire to develop faster, to overstep many levels in one sweep. But as a rule you can be sure that one mass-killing causes another, changing the roles from torturers to victims until all have learned their lesson. In some instances the paying off of such a debt does not happen in the succeeding incarnation, but several lives lie between cause and effect. You must not forget, you all went through periods of cruelty, some ten incarnations ago, some even less. If great disasters and accidents happen in which many people are killed, you can be sure that this is a measure taken by the spirit world where everything is executed in full justice and according to the often freely-chosen fate of the various entities involved.
QUESTION: Do I understand that images can be either karmic or non-karmic?
ANSWER: They must have a karmic origin, because if they would not have a karmic origin, they would not form an image in the first place. It would be something so much on the surface that you could very easily discover it. In the process of the image search, you will probably discover little reactions where the process of the mind operates on the same principle, only there you cannot talk about an image, because it is not something that is so important, or significant, or deep-rooted, or weighty. If it is of deep significance and causes conflicts, it must have karmic origins, but to think about it, what it may have been in a former life, will be to no avail, it will not lead you anywhere. But with the help of your own memory you can go back to its origin in this life, if you work in the right way. And that will be sufficient. If, in certain instances, the knowledge of previous lives is good and helpful for your development, then it will be given to you, one way or another, but only then.
QUESTION: Is it possible at all, and if so, at what age, to lighten, to ease the formation of images in a child?
ANSWER: Of course it is possible. If the parents would be on such a path, they would have to know what their own problems are, and thus what the child may absorb from them which would be image-material. In that way, they could to a large degree avoid the formation of an image by helping to draw it to the surface while the conclusions are being formed and are still accessible. The problem could then be treated right away in consciousness and when the child grows up, the conclusion will alter with the growing process. Furthermore, parents who are on such a path develop a sensitivity with which they can observe the reactions of the child. That would be the ideal case, but as yet it happens very rarely.
QUESTION: Is there a test by which one can know what is one’s image?
ANSWER: There is no test necessary, because when you have found your image, you will know to the core of your being that it is that way. The equation will come out right, in whatever way you look at it. It must come out even. But it may happen that an image-consciousness is approaching and yet the personality is so reluctant and so full of resistance that he or she cannot see it. Then all you have to do is to go on and on working from all sides, from all aspects, and all of a sudden the knowledge will be there. And then you will not need any confirmation, because you will just know this is it! All of a sudden your whole life will make sense. You will understand your life and your failures. You will understand yourself and therefore also other people around you. The riddle will be solved. The puzzle will be complete, with every piece falling in its place. So there is no test and no trick and no magic. So no confirmation is really necessary. For if you know your main image, everything will fall into place. And even before you can dissolve it, the mere knowledge of it will make you free. That feeling of freedom I mentioned may occasionally occur already before the main image has clearly come to the surface, by little but significant recognitions that are an integral part of the main image. When you have the little images, you may at times already experience this feeling of freedom, but how much more so when the picture has been completed!
QUESTION: One of our group now here for the first time would like to know how to develop her psychic powers.
ANSWER: I would like to ask this friend first, what is the purpose of it?
QUESTIONER: To help children, the aged, and those in need.
ANSWER: The motive is a good one. There is only one really good way for such a development, and that is the following: First give up thinking about it at all and concentrate on your own spiritual, mental, and emotional development and on your own path of purification. The more the unconscious has been explored and become conscious, the clearer the channel. I am speaking generally now and not just to you, for it applies to anyone desirous of helping in such a way. The development of psychic powers should always be secondary. It should be left to the will of God in what manner these powers will manifest. And the stronger they manifest, the greater the necessity for a stringent path of self-development! I cannot stress this enough. So if you can leave psychic powers aside for a while, in the wisdom that this is dangerous material unless self-awareness is present to a marked degree, and if you do so for the sake of God, then He may give it back to you a hundredfold when the time is ripe.
If you learn to put aside your self-will and can say, and mean it: “Father, Thy will be done, let me be Thy instrument in any way Thou choosest, not the way I choose. I know that in order to be an instrument for Thy world, I have to go on this path and I am not shirking its hardships,” then you have the proper and healthy attitude that must be pleasing to God. That is the only way, everything else may even prove dangerous. Goodwill alone is not enough protection. Ignorance of many factors can bring a great deal of trouble and untruth. The unexplored unconscious plays a great role, particularly in this type of work. Self-awareness must be developed if psychic powers are not to prove dangerous.
I am sorry that we could not get to the planned questions tonight. Please save them for next time.
One more word, before I retire, to my dear and beloved friends on this path. I would like to ask you to help your brothers and sisters in Switzerland in the image-finding. Think about a way in which this could be done. I have already made a few suggestions, perhaps you can think of further ways.
My dear ones, Christmas is approaching, and the Light of Christ is spreading all over and is also touching this earth sphere. Imbibe of this light, of this wonderful strength, so that you will find forever new stamina for this path of self-finding that is a joy to all of us. Receive the blessings of the Lord again. Be in peace. Be in God!
