These remarks are excerpted from a day-long program given by Jack Engler at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies (BCBS) on November 1, l997. Jack has had a long association with Dharma study and practice. He studied Pali language and Abhidhamma at the Post-Graduate Institute of Buddhist Studies in Nalanda, Bihar, and practiced meditation for several years in India with Anagarika Munindraji and Dipa Ma. He also studied with the Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw in Burma. He is co-author of Transformations of Consciousness (Shambhala, l986), and has been a clinical psychologist for more than twenty years. Jack is on the BCBS board of directors, and teaches in Barre from time to time.
My experience over the years is much more complicated than that. I find that meditation practice, like any other kind of behavior, can be used for good or for ill. It can be liberating—or we can yoke it into the service of our own neuroses. Buddhaghosa called practice a “path of purification.” It’s like refining the alloys out of ore until what you’re left with is the pure metal. As a process of refinement, practice is often loaded with trial and error. We make mistakes and discover how we’ve lost our balance again and again; but gradually we learn what’s right effort and what’s compulsion, what’s straining, what’s avoidance. A lot of practice is just the process of discovering what is not the path.
From a certain perspective of course it is all path—the process itself is the path. But in asking the same kinds of questions of a spiritual practice that a therapist, for example, might ask of any experience, one might discover a dozen unconscious motivations towards practice. And it’s worth looking at these for a moment, because meditation practice—like any other behavior—is multiply determined. It may have a lot of different meanings and be driven by a host of different motives. This is of course very much the Buddhist teaching of conditionality: there is no one simple cause and effect, but many ways in which even a single sitting is conditioned by many factors.
For example, at certain stages of the life cycle the major developmental task is the task of identity formation, of finding out who I am as a person, what values I am going to live by, who I am going to be. And if one is having trouble with that, or is ambivalent or conflicted about it, you can adopt the view of selflessness and egolessness and use it as a way of not really tackling this task.
Or practice can take the form of a narcissistic wish: through practice I am going to become self-sufficient and invulnerable, I am not going to hurt any more, I won’t feel pain or disappointment. I think for most of us this is buried somewhere in our psyche, though it would usually be subtle. It may be a lingering kind of narcissistic ideal around the notion of perfection. Practice can be fueled by the hidden thought , “I’ll be rid of all these yucky things about myself that I don’t like.” It’s important to be aware of this impulse or motive to the extent to which it is there.
You see how these things can skew even how you pay attention and what you pay attention to. Attention itself is very conditioned. The day that you can sit down and be mindful is probably the day you don’t need to practice anymore. It’s like the old principle in psychoanalysis: the day you can come in and just free associate on the couch is the day you don’t need analysis anymore. In other words, mindfulness and free association have to be learned and sorted out from all of the potential distortions. But that’s the wonderful part of practice, discovering all this and sorting it out, refining it.
Another unconscious motivation is often a fear of individuation, a fear of becoming independent and asserting oneself. This may show up as a certain passivity which could be rooted in avoidance of commitment and accountability. My experience with western practitioners is that we’re too detached—we need to learn how to become attached, in a healthy way. When people talk about detachment and renunciation, it often means there is some phobic avoidance. True detachment or true non-attachment is really plunging in and doing something with your whole heart, giving yourself totally to the act, totally to the person or totally to the situation and not holding anything back, doing whatever you are doing completely and then letting go.
Sometimes practice can be driven by devaluation of reason and intellect, especially for people for whom thinking is painful or who don’t like to think. It’s the converse of people who find feeling painful. Or it can, even in the act of looking into the inner world, be an escape from the inner world. So I can say to myself, “Well, it’s all just sensation, or it’s just thinking, or it’s just feeling.” That’s the classic instruction right? The classic way of noting, just noting; don’t get all caught up in the content. But that in itself can sometimes be an avoidance, not really wanting to know what I’m thinking, not seeing my thought very clearly and not seeing what I’m feeling very clearly.
There may be other hidden motives in practice, like the fear of intimacy or the fear of social involvement. Practice can sometimes be a substitute for grief and mourning. Dharma asks the same question as a therapist would ask: How do we let go of the things that bind us? How do we let go of unhealthy attachments? They have to be grieved, they can’t just be observed or watched or dismissed by the kind of noting we use for mindfulness practice. There’s no way to avoid the process of mourning.
Insight by itself is not enough, in therapy or in meditation, because insight doesn’t necessarily lead to change. We all know that we can have a very good conceptual grasp of something, or insight into ourselves, and still do the same damn thing we’ve always done. It’s the inner resistance that has to be dealt with before change occurs. So there really is no way around grieving in this transient world.
But sometimes we use practice to immunize ourselves from the feeling and the pain—practice can be used to avoid feeling. It can be done in an intellectual way through obsessive observation or by splitting off affect and feeling from insight and understanding, so the observation stays very cool and dry. But this detached coolness has a certain lifelessness about it. Of course you can use practice to wallow in feeling too.
Then there are motives of passivity and dependence. Practice can become self-punishing, out of some kind of guilt or bad feeling about yourself. The stubborn refusal not to move until the end of the sitting, for instance: “I’m in a lot of pain but the bell hasn’t rung yet and the instructions are not to move until the end of the sitting.” Now, this can be an opportunity to work with pain and that can be a very powerful form of practice in that moment. It can also have other roots though; there can be a self-punishing quality in staying with pain when it’s not really productive or when we’re doing it in a masochistic way.
The art of practice is gradually teasing out that difference and gradually being able to distinguish the healthy and skillful motivations from the unhealthy and unskillful. That is why practice can be so creative, because it requires these constant discriminations all the time. You can’t do it in a mechanical way. There’s so much to learn and so many wonderful choices all the time in practice—and this is one of them.
wow, after reading this is almost seems like the world is ‘stacked against us’ which is something we, mostly unknowingly, do to ourselves. Practice is the secret.
Hey Julie! Don’t be discouraged — but, yes, I know what you mean! 🙂 This sort of article is a good “check in” or “symptom checker” but isn’t the focus of practice….and as you say, the main thing is practice! If we really pay attention, and look into the stuff that arises in concentration and insight practices, these “hidden” things tend to expose themselves, but, being alert to ways we can deceive ourselves can be helpful — so long as we don’t get stuck there, in the looking for stuff!

November 10, 2017 2017 Regular season, Joe Schad.
DAVIE — When Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase puts on his play-caller hat, he studies the opposing defense and looks for weak spots.
When Gase turns on the Carolina Panthers defense film, his attention goes to the middle of the field and player #59, a linebacker who reminds him of one of the NFL’s greatest all-time linebackers.
Yes, Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly reminds Gase of Ray Lewis.
Since entering the NFL in 2012, Kuechly has been credited with 758 tackles, the most in the NFL. This season, Kuechly has 72 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 passes defended, 1 forced fumble and 1 fumble recovery.
Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler is extremely impressed with the NFL’s number one-ranked defense.
Monday is a remarkable challenge for Gase. He wants to protect Cutler, who has broken ribs and is behind a banged-up offensive line, by utilizing short passes to Kenyan Drake, Damien Williams, Jarvis Landry and Julius Thomas.
But Kuechly blows that stuff up.
Adam Gase set aside extra time to evaluate Jay Cutler. What did he conclude?
Is T.J. McDonald the Miami Dolphins’ Gronk Kryptonite?

The JV boys' basketball team had a difficult game at St. Mary's on Thursday night, losing 67-16. CAJ now has a 2-8 record in Kanto Plains play.
"For whatever reason, we never got on track today. In fact, the train of confidence we were riding after Tuesday's game derailed and crashed. When I asked our team to describe the first half in one word, one player captured our play by saying 'chaos'. That continued through the second half.
I told the guys this is how life is sometimes. Sometimes things just don't go our way, but we have to learn from our mistakes, grow and be thankful. We walked into their gym as a team, and we walked out of there as a team."
CAJ's scoring leaders from this game were Satvik (eight points) and Josiah, Kenshin, Ken and Hikaru all with two points each.
The Knights have their JV tournament at ASIJ on Saturday.

Trends in California driven by climate change—including higher temperatures and drier conditions—are elevating the risk of dangerous and destructive wildfires across California and the western United States.
On October 8, a group of fires exploded across a wide swath of Northern California. Taken as a group, the fires are among the worst on record in the state in terms of lives and property lost. After just one week, the fires have killed at least 41 people, burnt more than 200,000 acres, destroyed or damaged more than 5,500 homes, and displaced 100,000 people. Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Orange, Sonoma and Yuba counties.
By the end, the Wine Country fires killed 42 people, destroyed 8,700 homes and buildings, and burned 245,000 acres. The event was deadliest, most destructive, and one of the largest fires in California history.
The combination of a wet winter followed by extreme heat and dryness has fueled record wildfires in many Western states. Climate change compounds the risks of wildfires by extending the length of the fire season and adding to the intensity of droughts and heat waves. Park Williams, a climate and drought expert, noted, “... the combination of dry fuel, extreme heat and climate change is a recipe for what we are seeing."
The extreme wildfires in California are consistent with the long-term trend of increasing wildfire activity observed in the western US.
Last year, the Soberanes Fire in California became the most costly wildfire fight in US history, with expenses totaling $260 million.
13 of California's 20 largest wildfires on record have all burned since 2000.
Climate change was firmly linked to increased wildfire risk during the destructive 2014 season in a climate change attribution study.
From 1979 to 2015, climate change was responsible for more than half of the dryness of Western forests and the increased length of the fire season. Since 1984, those factors have enlarged the cumulative forest fire area by 16,000 square miles, about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined.

The parsnip and sweet potato chips put a healthy spin on a popular dish.
Toss the parsnips and sweet potatoes together in a bowl with the olive oil, cumin and a pinch of salt. Spread out in a single layer on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 15 to 30 minutes, until golden brown, turning them over halfway through. When they come out of the oven, sprinkle generously with the thyme leaves and season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
To cook the steaks, heat a chargrill pan until it’s smoking hot. Brush the steaks on both sides with a little olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes per side for rare, 3 minutes for medium rare and 4½ minutes for medium. If you like, brush the halved garlic bulb with a little oil and grill it along with the steak for extra flavour.

More Classes, Tax Exchange and Open House!
You were looking for a couple more classes and here they are. Stop into the store to register or call us (519-351-5220).
You are in for a treat! Hilary has designed a 4.25x5.5" desk calendar and a pop up gift card holder just in time for the gift giving season. You will work with dies to make dimensional flowers, use embossing folders, washi tape, stamps and more. Have a closer look!
Take a couple hours for yourself and immerse yourself in the spirit of the season. Debbie's elegant cards are so full of technique and fun! First time stampers don't be afraid. We like to keep our classes small (12 students max) so the teacher can spend some one on one time with you. Grab a friend and see what your pretty little hands can do.
You will be working with stencils, stamps, dies, distress inks, sequins glitter and more. All supplies included.
You have a few more days to register for the 2017 Tag Exchange. We are almost full (two groups again this year). If you are thinking about it....do it! Call the store or email me to register. Deadline is Saturday to register and tags are due December 9 by 3pm. Pick up will be December 13-16 during store hours.

Spend $100 before tax and receive a $25 gift card FREE!
The store is jam packed with gorgeous paper goods. I cannot wait for you to see it all!
And that's not all. My sister Jen of Homebaked Kitchen will be sampling her holiday offerings. I hear she has some brand NEW recipes too. Place your orders and knock one more item off your to do list! She has also brought in some beautiful new linens, mugs, aprons and more. Jen has such an eye for pretty things. I think you will agree.
Grab a friend and join us on Saturday, December 2nd from 10am-5pm for a day full of treats and treasures.
My dream of owning a retail store became a reality when my sister and I took a leap back in 2003. And thanks to your support, we are still here today. I value your business. I value you taking the time to shop local. Given the fierce competition with online businesses, and the ease that this shopping brings, brick and mortar store need your efforts more than ever this year. And don't even get me started about the construction throughout our municipality. This has not helped matters either.
This holiday season, I urge you to think about how you spend each and every dollar because trust me, it matters. I know you have heard this before, but each dollar you spend locally supports a local person or family. They in turn use these dollars to purchase other items within their community therefore supporting another person or family. It is a snowball of love and support if all are like minded.
Sometimes I wonder if people have lost the joy of shopping....all they want is the big check mark on their never ending to-do list. I think it is wonderful to wander from shop to shop in search of the perfect gift. And OH that moment when you find IT! It is a feeling that brings joy to me thinking of the reaction from your loved one. And I will tell you it is a truly awesome feeling for me when as the shop owner, I see this reaction from YOU when you spot that perfect gift in MY store. I am excited because you are excited.
So the moral of the story is to think before you buy. There are SO many incredible stores in our community. If you want them to stay, then you need to take the time to see what they are all about. Tell your friends when you find "THE cutest store" or spread the word when a friend is looking for something. Tell them where they can find the item locally. You guys do a great job at this already but let's create a movement. Let's help build our community!
Black Friday? Who needs it?
Have you noticed the movement throughout this community and throughout this country for that matter? We are tired of everyone heading to the States for "the deals" on Black Friday. Truly, "the deals" are here! Save your time, your gas and your sanity. There are deals to be had throughout Chatham-Kent.

I had THE best time on the weekend at The Zonta Card Making Extravaganza. The Paper Pickle has been apart of this fabulous event since the beginning ( 12+years I think). There is a session in the spring and another in the fall. You MUST check out the next one.
What do you think of the card I taught (found above)? I never know what I am going to teach until I get playing around in my craft room. Let me tell you, it gets a little stressful at times as I always want my card to be loaded with technique, be appealing to the ladies and not too rushed (you see we only have 30 minutes per group to complete). I was proud at the way it turned out.
This card was well received by the group! We worked with oxide inks in peacock feathers, salty ocean and cracked pistachio to blend and create the background. We then stamped the sheet music in faded jeans oxide ink. I absolutely love these inks (as if you couldn't tell!). They blend beautifully and stamp equally as well.
Then a few finishing touches including: glitter, snowflake brad, sequins from Neat & Tangled and a little washi. I love it!
I couldn't have managed the day without my trusty sidekick, Julia. Julia is my daughter and she is growing into a confident and beautiful young woman. She has been apart of The Paper Pickle since she was 3 months old (remember the baby in the playpen at the end of the counter? YES! This is the same girl!). She was the natural pick to help for the event since my sister Kell is busy cuddling with her new baby girl.
Do you think she had fun? I would say so! This was my girl at the end of the day. Energy to spare!!
Now we are not decorating the store until Remembrance Day has passed but we do have the store jam packed with incredible new product for your Christmas projects. Here is a little sampling of the some dies that are similar to the one I used above.

AZA SAFE is working with the IUCN Conservation Planning Specialist Group to provide a 6-week blended learning conservation planning and facilitation course for AZA members. The web-based portion of the course will run from February 18 - March 29 and culminate with a full day in-person workshop at the Mid-Year Meeting on April 14.
Please review an overview of the web-based coursework. While the core content will mirror the existing CPSG Conservation Planning and Facilitation course, elements of the course may be modified to include more details as they relate to conservation planning and facilitation for AZA SAFE programs and members. Course materials as well as time and homework requirements will remain the same.
This workshop required an application to attend. The deadline to apply was February 7 and we are no longer accepting applications. If you have questions about the workshop, please contact Kayla Ripple.
With annual visitation in the hundreds of millions and environmental problems reaching crisis levels, zoos and aquariums have come to recognize the importance of leveraging the connections we make between people and wildlife for real conservation impact. This workshop will prepare participants to integrate behavior change campaigns into their organization’s conservation strategy in a way that fits seamlessly into the recreational and educational nature of their relationship with their audiences. Participants will come away with an understanding of how to complement compelling animal experiences that awaken caring with community-based social marketing techniques that inspire and empower their audiences to take action.
The Green Summit will reinforce the direct connection between our operational output and its impact on the species and habitats we are actively working to conserve, while broadening our concept of sustainability beyond the baseline metrics of water, waste, and energy. Organizational sustainability uses systems thinking and the connections between economic stability, environmental integrity, and social equity to increase the bottom line, enhance brand, and mitigate risk. We use systems thinking to identify related system components and ensure successful outcomes for our field conservation work. Join us as we examine how to apply that practice to our institutions and industry.
Sustainability as a practice isn’t confined to a single department, therefore, sessions are designed to benefit cross-functional teams - from Guest Services, to Conservation, to Education, to Marketing, to Operations, to Living Collections.
AZA zoos and aquariums provide our communities with unique and valuable learning and recreation experiences not available anywhere else - it is essential that we are fully accessible to those communities. The Diversity Summit provides information and tools for understanding and advancing diversity and inclusion programs and practices to help ensure that our zoos and aquariums are representative of and accessible to the communities we serve. Who should attend? Zoo and aquarium leaders, HR directors, hiring managers, volunteer managers, and those interested in shaping the future of zoos and aquariums. It is highly recommended that two colleagues from the same institution attend together.
Guest Speaker: Eric Bailey is the President and CEO of Bailey Strategic Innovation Group, one of the fastest-growing OD/Strategy consulting firms in the western United States. His impact helps leaders improve the lives of those who follow them, and the customers/citizens whom they are charged with supporting. Eric has a uniquely diverse set of experiences, including: helping future NFL Hall-of-Famer Larry Fitzgerald pet a rhinoceros; teaching dozens of young children to ski; changing the strategic course of dozens of cities; jumping out of an airplane with his wife; flying an F-16; and chatting with LL Cool J on the campus of Harvard University. Eric understands that no matter what life puts in your path, there are lessons to be learned or stories to be told to champion great ideas and great people.
The Diversity Summit is included in your Mid-Year Meeting registration, but an RSVP is required.

text: (yikes, someone needs to dust.) I tried marbling paper a long time ago but recently came across a few pins that sparked my interest in the art again. Today I'm actually going to show you Suminagashi which is Japanese marbling. In no way am I claiming to be an expert in this. There are several great tutorials on the subject and some beautiufl works of art. What attracted me to Suminagashi was this. It almost looks like a woodgrain. Seriously, look how gorgeous! It looked easy enough to do with Tyler and it was! I'm always on the hunt for a fun and easy make to do with Tyler. A craft that I can appreciate as well. I purchased this set from our local art supply store, Blaines. I paid $18 for the set. You can purchase them online as well. I'm amazed at how easy this art is. You almost can't mess this up. That's why it's great for Tyler. It can get messy though so set up your workstation accordingly. It's easy to achieve the woodgrain pattern but Tyler's came out more of a traditional marble effect. You basically take 2 skinny paint brushes, dip it into the ink and lightly touch the water. Here's a great video tutorial that shows the technique. Once you've made several rings of ink, carefully place your paper on top of the floating ink, then lift off. Place your paper down on a flat surface to let dry. I placed a towel on the floor for this stage. Here's where I need to practice more though. The dyes sort of ran a little. I found that if I patted the excess water with a paper towel, it helped a bit. We used plain ol' white art paper on our first try. Wasn't too bad but the paper did buckle quite a bit. I did try using watercolor paper but the results weren't as great. I always like to use things I have on hand before I go out and purchase anything. I found a stash of blank business cards meant for letterpress.....it worked great! I ended up doing a whole set of business cards for the upcoming LLP print release. I recommend placing dry marbled papers under some heavy books overnight to help flatten the paper. Here are some useful links on the Suminagashi: Suminagashi for kids Suminaghashi inspiration How to video This video is cool! Just a note...I'm not affiliated with the brand of inks, just wanted to share a fun technique that any paper crafter would love. It's refreshing to do something completely different and something you really can't control. The best part is that it's not a huge investment. Most of the materials I had on hand and the ink will last awhile.

Canoeing is an excellent way to not only get exercise, but also to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors. Hire a canoe for a day of exploring the waterways or book a canoe tour to have a guide show you the best spots to paddle through. Book a canoe hire to enjoy your weekend in your city or enjoy a canoe trip during your travels to a new place. Canoe hire and guided trips are available across the globe and are an excellent family activity.
Canoeing is a simple activity and is a great fit for families with children. Ask the owner for recommendations on canoeing destinations and estimated time to reach a destination so you're prepared.
Canoes vary in size, so make sure the boat you hire is large enough to accommodate your group.
Enjoy Sailing Holidays in Beautiful Ionian sea!!!!

The UK’s longest serving nurse who started when the NHS was just four has retired – after an astonishing 66 years saving lives.
Monica Bulman, 84, a Registered General Nurse (RGN), worked on Hutchings ward at Torbay Hospital, Torquay, Devon as part of the specialist outpatient surgical clinic team for Endoscopy. Monica’s retirement coincided with national celebrations of the NHS 70th anniversary year. The NHS was launched on 5 July 1948 and Monica has worked for the NHS for 66 out of the 70 years since its creation.
Aged just 19, Monica started to work in the NHS in 1952 as a State Enrolled Nurse before undergoing further training to qualify as a State Registered Nurse in 1957 – now known as a RGN. Monica said: ‘The NHS has been a huge part of my life and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. ‘But I have decided that it’s now time for me to put my fob watch and belt away to enable me to spend quality time with all my loved ones. ‘I have absolutely loved being a nurse – it has brought me so much pleasure and I have enjoyed every single second.
‘It’s certainly going to take some getting used to with not coming in to work and seeing all my wonderful patients and colleagues.’ Monica has seen many changes throughout her six-decade career: ‘Nursing has changed a lot over the years especially the technology, which is wonderful – unless it breaks down.’ ‘Although we now have much more paperwork to compete, it is fantastic that with the technology we can now look up our patient’s x-rays and test results at the click of a button rather than having lengthy waits for the information.
Looking back, she added: ‘The uniforms have also changed considerably although I have to admit I did prefer our old uniforms, they were much more glamourous. ‘I bought a belt to wear with my uniform when I qualified in 1957 – I still have and wear the very same belt to this day.’ Over the years Monica will have treated tens of thousands of patients.
She started her State Enrolled Nurse training in 1952 at Eltham Hospital, London, before moving to St John’s Hospital, London, in 1954 to qualify as a State Registered Nurse. Upon qualifying in 1957, Monica stayed at St John’s and worked as a staff nurse as well as a theatre nurse until she left in 1959. Since then she worked at a number of different hospitals. In 1968, Monica moved to Torquay, Devon with her husband and two sons and began to work for a nursing agency. In 1978, Monica started to work at Paignton Community Hospital on the then casualty department as well as for outpatients departments. In 1998, aged 65 years, Monica had no plans to retire. A Sister from the outpatients department at Torbay Hospital asked Monica to work as a bank nurse for a few weeks but she ended up staying. Monica has been at Torbay Hospital since 1998 and is currently part of the specialist outpatient surgical clinic team for Endoscopy.
Recalling her long career, she said: ‘I loved my student training at St John’s Hospital’ Monica reminisced. ‘After being on night duty the Sister used to give us students a cup of cocoa every morning after our night shift.

Rio Ferdinand has broken his silence on the abuse his younger brother Anton has suffered ever since he was allegedly racially insulted by former England captain John Terry.
Terry was stripped of the England captaincy last week after Westminster Magistrates' Court adjourned the ensuing case until July.
But Ferdinand has revealed how painful it has been to see his younger brother subjected to abuse on social network sites and by fans since the allegation was made.
'Anton is my little brother,' said Ferdinand, who is likely to be in the Manchester United squad to play at Chelsea.
'We have grown up together and I have looked after him since we were kids. If something is going to affect him and hurt him, I am always there as a shoulder to lean on. In moments like this, when things are so public and you can't really say anything, it can be frustrating.
'For my family, yes, it has been tough. At the end of the day, my brother has not brought any accusations to anyone. He is not the accused. But he has had to sit there and take abuse from some small-minded people [about the Terry incident], which has been very disappointing.
Terry denies the charge and the case will be heard on July 9.
In the wake of the FA withdrawing the captaincy from Terry even though he has not been proven guilty, England players are to draw up their own code of conduct outlining what kind of behaviour is expected from international stars on and off the pitch.
With England due to play Holland at the end of this month, where Steven Gerrard should be named as Terry's replacement as captain, the FA are keen to work alongside the England squad and the Professional Footballers' Association to draw up a set of rules.

This edited collection presents the concept of lived citizenship as a fruitful avenue for exploring the role played by social work practices in the lives of people in vulnerable positions. The book centres on the everyday experiences through which people practice, negotiate, understand and feel their citizenship. The authors offer both empirical analyses of how social work influences the rights, obligations, identities and belongings of children, homeless people, migrants, ethnic minorities, and young people with mental disabilities; and a theoretical framework for analysing the complexities of social work.
Lived Citizenship on the Edge of Society will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including social policy and social work.

The mega-regional trade agreements such as TPP, TTIP, RCEP have attracted most attention of the international trade community in recent years. At the same time, the WTO Doha Round negotiation is almost desperately stuck. While almost all major countries have involved in these mega-regionals , they seem to lose interest and confidence in pushing forward the multilateral negotiation. Are they really determined to give up the WTO? Are these mega-regionals really easy to conclude? What is needed from the major powers to break the stalemate of the Doha Round? The session will bring together scholars from the US, EU, China, South Africa to explore these questions.

Professor Lin Guijun specializes in the areas of International Trade, Foreign Trade policy, Welfare Economics, International Monetary Theory, and Advanced Marco- and Micro- Economics. His paper (with R. Schramm) published in the China Economic Review in 2003 describes trade reform in China and shows how the policy of attracting the foreign capital into China affects China’s foreign exchange reform. His paper (with R. Schramm as well) on Chinese saving/investment difference is also received much attention: “Economist” in December of 2006 set a special section to report this issue. His paper published in the Journal of International Trade in January of 2007 about China’s “export poverty” is the second paper about this issue after Yasuyuki Sawada’s paper (2005), and is also the first empirical analysis of whether such “export poverty” exists in China or not.

As the global demand for plant-based foods rises it is clear that following vegan or vegetarian diets are no longer just for “weirdos, hippies and activists” as was the stereotype before. Whether it be for environmental concerns, animal welfare or personal health many more people are choosing to embrace a plant-based lifestyle and with the demand at an all time high, brands like ourselves are creating more plant-based options.
You need only listen to the debate amongst friends, especially if you are part of the millennial generation, to realise that this is an issue as emotionally charged as debating religion and politics, and whilst you may feel strongly either way or sit on the fence – global warming, unethical farming practices and the rise of health concerns such as cancer and obesity are issues we face daily. Luckily in our modern world social media platforms have allowed us to have open debates and spaces for us to share our experiences and knowledge and we reached out to one such influential brand – Cape Town Vegan – and invited Garth and some of his friends to a Cake Party at our bakery to try out some of our new plant-based cakes and treats.
We initially dabbled in the world of vegan baking only as an in-store product with many customers asking for vegan or gluten free options. We researched and tested a few recipes until we found the perfect vegan and gluten free carrot cake which became more popular than expected, with even non-vegans loving it. We went on to create a vegan brownie and Hummingbird cake but it wasn’t until we reached out to Garth that we decided to make a concerted effort to experiment with this new baking trend. In the weeks leading up to our Cake Party we contacted our suppliers asking a question I am shocked I never thought to ask before, whether their products were vegan friendly. We compiled a list and started working on some new recipes discovering the amazing properties of Aquafaba in both our vegan macarons and Swiss meringue buttercream, and whilst Tessa would still like to know who thought of whipping up the liquid in a can of chickpeas, I guess we can equally wonder who thought to whip up the white of an egg? Ultimately we wanted to be able to create a cake that would rival any of our cakes on our website both in taste and look. In the end what we created was a moist decadent chocolate cake with a rich fudge filling, an Aquafaba Swiss Meringue Icing, dark chocolate ganache drip and topped with fresh berries, rosemary, Lindt chocolate and a hint of glamorous gold leaf. We also tested a lighter vanilla cake with Aquafaba Swiss meringue buttercream decorated with an edible print and home made vegan sprinkles. The vanilla cake was not as rich as the chocolate cake which is perfect for those who prefer a lighter alternative and I think is going to be an amazing base cake for many wonderful flavours going forward.
On 1st November, World Vegan Day, our Cake Party took place at our bakery with Garth, Jessica – The Green Dietician, Donovan – ProVegSA, Leozette Roode – Author: The South African Vegan Cookbook and Vegan Guide Cape Town. Garth proved to be such a kind and generous individual. It was always a pleasure working with him as we explored our new baking adventure. Garth went out of his way to be helpful to us as we bounced ideas off him and I think the work he does with brands looking to explore creating plant-based alternatives is wonderful and certainly a move in the right direction. It really was a pleasure hosting all of you.
Keep an eye out as we delve further into the world of vegan baking but in the meantime we already have four great options for you so head on over to our Vegan Range to order a plant-based alternative for your next celebration.
Amazing! Love that you are doing this!

Start lists, rankings and coffee, everything was yet again put into place by the volunteers at the Media Center on the morning of the sixth and final day of the 14th World Swimming Championships - a home away from home for all the accredited journalists.
Plenty of touching and inspiring success stories have been written throughout the competition as a total of 32 seat desks provided print journalists with an ideal position to carry out their work.
Photographers meanwhile had their own dedicated working room and a set number of camera positions, located next to the athlete’s entrance and the aisle opposite to the podium. On the stands and around the pool areas, more than 20 photographers were able to capture all the memorable moments at the World Swimming Championships.
Registered media representatives could make use of the shuttle bus service from the media hotels to the competition and training venues, providing comfortable and safe transport for journalists and photographers attending the events throughout the day.
Having made the short walk from the parking lot to the media workspace, the Media Center provided space to close to 150 journalists to work. TV screens were installed in the area as well to render real-time broadcast. A network interface was also in place so that journalists could access a cloud drive in which the Information Service dropped flash quotes in both English and Chinese.
With the swimmers shuttling through a series of fences to be greeted by the media in the mixed zone, all appeared to be very well organised. Located next to the media workspace area, local reporters would however occasionally turn the place upside down as Chinese swimmers like Liu Xiang, Wang Jianjiahe and Wang Shun were making their way through.
Overall, the 14th FINA World Swimming Championships proved to a beautiful platform for swimmers to excel and display their skills to the media and the world. Hangzhou is set to be the ideal host, again, in 2022 during the 19th Asian Games - for athletes and media alike.

Start Getting 2016 Tax Ready For Your Accountant - Today!
Forget last minute panic in February/March! Now is the best time to see your accountant – when they’re not up to their necks in other people’s tax paperwork.
Let your accountant know of any changes to your situation (i.e. new job, promotion, changes to common law status, major purchases you’ve made or are planning to make) and bring a list of questions: Am I eligible for any of these child and family tax benefits? How will a second job affect my tax return? What receipts can I claim?
Download this T1 Tax Checklist and make a list of the documents you’ll need to gather and send to your accountant. If you’re filing for your small business as well, here’s a Small Business Tax Checklist.
Whether you’re going to log your own receipts or hand a shoebox of them to your bookkeeper or accountant – start by gathering them all in one place. If you’re DIY-ing, spend a rainy Saturday indoors typing up the receipts you have so far. The more organized you are, the less you’ll have to do in January, and the faster your accountant can file your return.
If you’re handing your receipts to a bookkeeper, get them in as soon as possible.
Your 2016 income tax paperwork should be submitted to your accountant by March 31st, 2017. Yep, that’s earlier than the actual April 30, 2016 income tax deadline, but remember, your tax return isn’t the only one in the queue!
Get 2016 tax ready and don’t leave your taxes to the last minute this year! You’ll be panicked and stressed, and that’s usually when important things get missed or mistakes happen. To learn about how our bookkeepers can make your life easier, or to make an appointment with Signature Financial in person or via Skype, call 1 807 623 1915 or email admin@signaturefinancial.ca.

The new rules came after provisions of the 2010 Affordable Care Actthat allowed U.S. employers to increase the rewards they offer to employees who participate in wellness programs were challenged in lawsuits, and a ruling by the EEOC that found requests for private medical information connected with incentive-based wellness programs violated the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

Did you pre-pay your car rental reservation but still had to pay extra fees and taxes at the counter?
If you have used an online travel reservation service to book a car rental (e.g. Priceline, Orbitz), pre-paid the reservation, and were charged extra fees and taxes, even though you didn’t agree to extra services, you may have a claim for breach of contract.
Many times an online service company will include fees and taxes as part of the reservation price. If these fees and taxes are actually charged to your credit card (versus just an estimate), the terms and conditions of the particular travel reservation service will govern whether you need to pay any fees and taxes at the reservation counter.
One travel reservation service in particular specifies that once the customer pays taxes and fees to the reservation service, any taxes and fees charged to the customer by the car rental company should be paid by the travel reservation service.

“The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) has become aware of a dangerous, potentially lethal substance surfacing in convenience stores and smoke shops. When ingested or inhaled this neurotoxin can render a person motionless and/or unconscious and cause severe cardiac problems. In the last 24 hours, at least eight patients in Southeast Ga. have been hospitalized; some patients have been admitted to intensive care and are on life support. Two patients have been intubated.
The substance is marketed as “herbal incense,” bath salts, or “roll-your-own” tobacco – similar to what public health and law enforcement have seen before containing cannabinoid receptor agonists (THC homologs), but there are now indications the chemicals or ingredients have been altered.

Has Your Spouse Suffered Personal Injury in Georgia? You May Have a Claim for Loss of Consortium.
When a married person is injured, the emotional toll of worrying about the health and well-being of the injured spouse can be overwhelming for the other spouse. In addition to the emotional hardship caused by the accident, a spouse may face demanding physical and financial burdens in caring for their injured loved one. Georgia law recognizes a separate claim for loss of consortium in personal injury cases where a married person suffers a loss of services and companionship as a result of an injury to their spouse caused by a third party’s negligence or intentional misconduct.
Loss of consortium claims can also compensate the non-injured spouse for an increase in the demands and burdens caused by the ordeal. Often, once injured, spouses are unable to offer the same level of affection, intimacy, and companionship as before. For example, an injured spouse may not be able contribute to performing household chores or help out in other spousal duties such as childrearing to the same extent that he or she could before the accident, requiring the non-injured spouse to assume the role of primary caretaker. In Georgia, spouses have a right to recover damages for the loss of such services and companionship a spouse normally could provide absent the injuries, such as household and family expenses, property maintenance and household chores, child care and parenting duties, emotional support and care, affection and sexual intimacy between spouses.

Unlike in some jurisdictions, Georgia does not require mitigation of damages in lease contracts. This gives landlords several options when a tenant abandons the premises before the lease term is up. First, the landlord may enter and obtain another tenant holding the original tenant liable for any deficiency. Alternatively, the landlord may leave the premises vacant and collect the agreed upon rent each month. Or, the landlord may terminate the lease under the terms of the lease. Lamb v. Decatur Fed. S & L Assn., 201 Ga.App. 583, 587(2) (1991). Note that in the event the landlord chooses this third option and terminates the lease, then he will be required to mitigate damages and make reasonable efforts to re-lease the premises. However, a landlord presumably can avoid triggering this duty to mitigate where the landlord terminates only the tenant’s right of possession without terminating the lease. Georgia Color Farms v. K.K.L., Ltd. P’ship, 234 Ga. App. 849 (Ga. Ct. App. 1998).

If you believed all the fake news stories from China in 2017, you would have a bleak impression of the country as an absurd, chaotic place. From children dying from sun exposure after stealing fruit to government-mandated evacuations of Chinese nationals from India, the year was rife with rumor.
On Wednesday, Sixth Tone’s sister publication The Paper reported that the internet issues division of the Shanghai police investigated and closed 390 cases related to online rumors in 2017.
The report follows hot on the heels of a busted rumor on Wednesday, when a Shanghai resident surnamed Jiang fabricated an assault story on social network WeChat. Jiang posted that a 50-year-old man had beaten up an 8-year-old on a local bus because the child refused to give up his seat, and that later the mother avenged her son by poking out the man’s eye. The post was never substantiated.
Many untruths with legs on China’s internet resonated with readers because they painted a vivid “David versus Goliath” narrative — consumers calling out big businesses, for example, or children being harmed by institutions — and connected with real issues such as food safety or child abuse.
China’s rapid development has produced problems of injustice and inequality, Hu explained, that people often respond to by generalizing from their individual experiences, or sentimentalizing matters of fact — so much so that internet companies have had to take action.
In September 2017, search engine Baidu added a “rumor” tag to fake news, and internet giant Tencent — which owns the ubiquitous social network WeChat — has its own security and risk management center to combat the problem. The company uses analytical tools to sweep WeChat for rumors, and also employs third-party companies to verify content and publish clarifications on its mini apps.
Tencent announced that between Jan. 1 and Dec. 20, 2017 — when its report on fake news management was published — it had intercepted over 500 million rumors and clarified 800 million rumors on the social platforms it operates.
Liu Jun, the head of a Shanghai police squad responsible for online issues, told The Paper that different factors can prompt netizens to create or unintentionally disseminate rumors. Rumors that exploit the kindness and sympathy of strangers — for example, children being kidnapped or hurt — readily gain traction online, he said.
Liu mentioned one case where a years-old rumor about a missing 5-year-old girl went viral — but local police later confirmed that there was no such incident. The three netizens who had disseminated the rumor were only given a verbal warning by police, however, as they had deleted their posts after seeing the official clarification. Yet Sixth Tone’s search still found several related posts on Weibo, with only some tagged “fake news” by site moderators.
Even when proven false, rumors can linger online with enviable longevity — and even some official bodies have been caught in the web of online deceit.
Last week, a state-run magazine was dragged into a farce staged by fans of a famous Chinese rapper, who misidentified the media outlet as a restaurant and smeared its reputation. Around the same time, an esteemed math professor from Peking University called out local officials who had made up a rags-to-riches story about him for use as feel-good propaganda.
“It’s nearly impossible [for social platforms] to stamp out rumors,” Wei Wuhui, a journalism and communications professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, told Sixth Tone.
At most, Wei said, platforms could tag falsehoods with a “fake news” label after investing substantial resources in research and investigation. But in many cases, the damage is already done: By the time fake news is proved false, most netizens have already moved on to the next big story.

Muscle-building can be a fun sport or a practical necessity. No matter the intent, this information can help you reach any muscle development goals. Read the below article in order to discover some helpful tips about building muscle.
You need to make sure you eat plenty of vegetables in order to maintain a healthy diet. Most of the muscle building diets ignore vegetables and focus more on proteins as well as complex carbohydrates. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals not found in other foods. In addition, they are excellent sources of fiber. Your body uses fiber to process protein more efficiently.
Three exercises you should do on a regular basis are bench presses, squats, and dead lifts. This trio is thought to be the best foundation for bodybuilding success. They have proven to increase strength, add bulk to muscles, and improve your general level of conditioning. Try to do these exercises in each workout, somehow.
Remember to warm up your muscles correctly if you want to increase muscle mass. Once your muscles are stronger they will be more prone to injury as a result of additional stress. Stretching before working out is the best way to avoid injury. Before you lift anything heavy, do 5-10 minutes of light cardio, followed by a few light or intermediate sets of your regular exercises.
Include the “big three” into your routine every time. The muscle-building power of these exercises – the dead lift, the bench press and the squat – is well-established and indisputable. Not only do these exercises add bulk, but they condition your body and improve your strength. Use these exercise as the cornerstone of your exercise regimen.
Recognize that the requirements of serious muscle building and intense cardiovascular exercise (such as marathon training) are not compatible. Cardiovascular exercises are necessary for fitness but may interfere with your attempts to bulk up by strength training. The best way to build your muscles effectively is by concentrating on a strength-training routine.
Complete as many repetitions as you can during your workout. Do at least 15 repetitions of each exercise, and do not take a long break between sets. Doing so is important in stimulating muscle growth because of the lactic acid. You will maximize your bodybuilding by committing to this several times during each of your sessions.
You should make sure that the number of calories you consume every day is high enough. There are many calculators available, some even online. They can help you to determine what your intake should be based on your muscle mass goals. Utilize one of them, and then change your diet around to include enough protein, carbohydrates, and various other nutrients that your body needs to increase muscle mass.
One problem many people have when trying to build muscle is certain muscle groups growing slower than others. Including fill sets in your routine will help you to boost the results in those areas. A small set that uses the muscle group necessary two to three days after another group was worked will do the trick.
Your routine should consist of three or four workouts in a week. You want to provide time for your body to repair itself. If you work out too often, you can cause injury to your body and defeat your purpose of staying healthy.
Don’t set goals that are impossible to reach. Make sure your muscle development goals are reachable. Hundreds of workouts will be required to achieve good results. Trying to speed up the process with steroids, stimulants, and other questionable substances can have detrimental effects on your body and overall health.
Don’t forget the importance of pre-workout stretching. This is vital because it will help you not get injured during workouts. Plus, after-workout stretching will make recovery easier. Deep tissue massage is also an effective way for you to relax post-exercise tension in your muscles.
Alternate grips, when possible. To achieve more strength during rack pulls or deadlifts, try using a staged or mixed grip. Staggered grips help to twist the bar in one direction, while the underhand grip twists the bar in the opposite way. This type of grip will prevent the bar from moving during lifts.
If you are trying to build muscle, be diligent when it comes to diet and fluid consumption. Tips on pretty much any health topic will mention staying hydrated, and bodybuilding is no different. Muscles contain a lot of water, after all. You should also steer clear of excessive alcohol, because it can cause degeneration of muscle tissues.
Remember that nobody is going to give you a prize for finishing your workout quickly. Resist the urge to rush through exercise sets and blast through your reps as fast as you can. When you maintain a slower pace in completing movements, you are likely to see more results faster. Sometimes this might require decreasing the amount of weight you are lifting, and that’s okay. A good goal to aim for is to take five to 10 seconds for each half of the exercise movement, for 20 seconds total per rep.
Hopefully, you have read some helpful information that you will be able to apply to your exercise routine. Think about this helpful advice every day, and incorporate it into your life.
