  • A New Earth Study Guide.Pdf
    A New Earth Study Guide Week 1 The consciousness that says ‘I am’ is not the consciousness that thinks. —Jean-Paul Sartre Affi rmation: "Through the guidance and wisdom of Spirit, I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind. All obstacles and emotions are stepping stones to the realization and appreciation of my sacred humanness." Study Questions – A New Earth (Review chapters 1 & 2, pp 1-58) Chapter 1: The Flowering of Human Consciousness Refl ect: Eckhart Tolle uses the image of the fi rst fl ower to begin his discussion of the transformation of consciousness. In your transformation, is this symbolism important to you? Describe. The two core insights of early religion are: 1) the normal state of human consciousness is dysfunctional (the Hindu call it maya – the veil of delusion) and 2) the opportunity for transformation is also in human consciousness (the Hindu call this enlightenment) (p. 8-9). What in your recent experience points to each of these insights? “To recognize one’s own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence” (p. 14). To what extent and in what circumstances (that you’re willing to discuss) does this statement apply to you? Religion is derived from the Latin word religare, meaning “to bind.” What, in your religious experience, have you been bound to? Stretching your imagination a bit, what could the word have pointed to in its original context? Spirit is derived from the Latin word spiritus, breath, and spirare, to blow. Aside from the allusion to hot air, how does this word pertain to your transformation? Do you consider yourself to be “spiritual” or “religious”? What examples of practices or beliefs can you give to illustrate? How does this passage from Revelation 21:1-4 relate to your transformation? Tease out as much of the symbolism as you can.

  • Global History and the Present Time
    Global History and the Present Time Wolf Schäfer There are three times: a present time of past things; a present time of present things; and a present time of future things. St. Augustine1 It makes sense to think that the present time is the container of past, present, and future things. Of course, the three branches of the present time are heavily inter- twined. Let me illustrate this with the following story. A few journalists, their minds wrapped around present things, report the clash of some politicians who are taking opposite sides in a struggle about future things. The politicians argue from histori- cal precedent, which was provided by historians. The historians have written about past things in a number of different ways. This gets out into the evening news and thus into the minds of people who are now beginning to discuss past, present, and future things. The people’s discussion returns as feedback to the journalists, politi- cians, and historians, which starts the next round and adds more twists to the en- tangled branches of the present time. I conclude that our (hi)story has no real exit doors into “the past” or “the future” but a great many mirror windows in each hu- man mind reflecting spectra of actual pasts and potential futures, all imagined in the present time. The complexity of the present (any given present) is such that no- body can hope to set the historical present straight for everybody. Yet this does not mean that a scientific exploration of history is impossible. History has a proven and robust scientific method.

  • Outlook Calendar and Time Management Tips
    Outlook Calendar and Time Management Tips: Setting up and maintaining your Outlook calendar is an easy way to manage your busy schedule and daily activities. Outlook calendar is great because you can sync it to your mobile and other devices, which you can access no matter where you are. You can also set up reminders to appear on your phone to remind you when and where you need to be. When setting up your Outlook calendar initially, it is recommented to do so on a computer so you can have access to more options (like color-coding, repeating appointments, etc.). You will start with a blank template, as shown below: Start with the basics – put in your formation, and your meal breaks (remember, your brain and body need fuel!). Then you can start putting in your class schedule with the class name, times and location. Be sure when scheduling events that you select the “Recurrence” option and specify what days you want the event to repeat, so it is on your calendar every week! After inputting your class schedule, take the opportunity to schedule your homework and study schedule into your week! Be sure to use the study time ratio: For each 1 unit, you should be studying 2-3 hours per week. (That means for a 3 unit class, you should be allocating 6-9 hours of study time per week. For a more difficult class, such as Calc I, start with 3 hours per unit. Study time includes homework, tutoring, paper writing and subject review.) If you’d like to add more to your calendar, feel free! Adding activites you like to do routinely, like working out, or Friday dinner with friends, helps motivate you to complete other tasks in the day so that you are free to go to these activities.

  • Attack on Nasheed and the Rising Tide of Radicalisation in the Maldives
    MP-IDSA Issue Brief Attack on Nasheed and the Rising Tide of Radicalisation in the Maldives Adil Rasheed May 20, 2021 Summary The attack on former Maldivian president and current parliamentary speaker Mohammad Nasheed on May 6, 2021 has led to speculation that the assassination bid was planned either by Islamist extremists or his political opponents. The Brief examines key aspects of the country's tenuous social and political fabric and situates the problem of radicalisation in a historical as well as the contemporary context. In closing, it proposes a few measures India may consider taking to help Maldives strengthen its political stability and security. ATTACK ON NASHEED AND THE RISING TIDE OF RADICALISATION IN THE MALDIVES At 8:39 pm on May 6, 2021, just before the COVID night-time curfew was to come into effect in Male, an IED blast struck the former President of Maldives and current Speaker of the Majlis (parliament), Mohammad Nasheed. The explosion also injured four other people accompanying him, including a British national. Reports noted that the home-made explosive device, packed with ball bearings to cause maximum damage, was planted on a motorbike parked near Nasheed's car.1 In the initial hours after the attack, the 53-year-old Nasheed was in a ‘critical condition’ and underwent multiple surgeries to his head, chest, abdomen and limbs.2 Thankfully, Anni, as he is affectionately called, recovered quickly and has now been flown to Germany for further treatment. In a tweet, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar wished him a speedy recovery and said that Nasheed can “never be intimidated.”3 Political Rivals, ISIS, or Islamists? The Maldivian police termed the attack a “deliberate act of terror”, although no terrorist group has so far taken responsibility.

  • The Best Time to Market Sheep and Goats by Anthony Carver, Extension Agent – Grainger County UT Extension
    The Best Time to Market Sheep and Goats By Anthony Carver, Extension Agent – Grainger County UT Extension Any producer of any product always wants the best price they can get. Sheep and goat producers are the exact same way. To really understand the demand and supply economics of sheep and goats, one must first understand the large groups purchasing them. The main purchasers for sheep and goats are ethnic groups. The purchasers recognize different holidays and feast days than most Tennessee producers. This is the most important factor to understand in marketing sheep and goats. Just like all holidays, the demand for certain foods go up. An example would be Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving usually means having a turkey on the table. The same can be said for the Eid-al-Fitr or Eid-al-Adha only with goat and sheep. It’s not only important to know the different holidays that the ethnic groups recognize, but to understand when they are held. Now, it gets complicated. Most of the holidays are not on our calendar year, but follow the lunar calendar. This means the holiday is not the same days year after year. It will be critical to look up the dates each year for the ethnic holidays. Here are some search words and websites to help: Interfaith Calendar - http://www.interfaithcalendar.org/index.htm Cornell University Sheep and Goat Marketing - http://sheepgoatmarketing.info/calendar.php North Carolina State University MEAT GOAT NOTES - https://rowan.ces.ncsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Ethnic-Holidays-2014-2018.pdf?fwd=no Some sheep and goat producers have heard of Ramadan (a Muslim and Somalis holiday).

  • Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ______
    Finding a Voice: Young Muslims, Music and Religious Change in Britain ___________________________________________________________________________ Carl Morris On a warm Sunday afternoon, in early September 2011, large crowds are strolling around the grounds of a 19th century non-conformist higher education college in Manchester. As the autumnal sunshine and leafy gardens are enjoyed by all, to the rear of the college, in an old peaked chapel that juts from the back of the bricked building, a man, dressed in a dark, buttoned-up suit and tie, moves across a small stage with microphone in hand. Smiling broadly as he scatters flowers to a swaying crowd, the man sings into the microphone. Supported by pre-recorded backing harmonies and percussion emitted from a temporary sound system, he gently unfolds lyrics praising Allah and the beauty of creation, attempting to evoke notions of love and compassion. This is the 2011 Eid Festival, at the British Muslim Heritage Centre, and the performer, Khaleel Muhammad, has travelled from London to perform a selection of English-language nasheeds (religious songs) for those at the celebration. He is just one of several celebrity performers that are here to contribute to the nasheed concert, while outside Muslim families enjoy the food stalls, the activity tents and the small funfair. In many respects, this celebration and similar events across the country are part of an emergent Islamic entertainment culture – a culture that incorporates music as a central, distinctive but rather ambiguous practice. The event was typical of its kind: organised by a Muslim civil society and staffed by young Muslim volunteers in jeans and t-shirts, it aimed to combine a religious celebration with the gaiety of a wholesome and popularised entertainment culture.
