was formally arrested, but was denied as to the statements to Gomes and Myslinski discussed above.  These statements were admitted against her at trial.

I.
Refusal to Admit Result of First Polygraph

8
Acevedo argues it was error, in the second trial, to refuse her counsel permission to introduce the fact of her passing the first polygraph test, a fact that was made known to the jury at the first trial.

9
The existence of the first test was originally brought out at the initial trial when Acevedo's counsel, at the very end of the direct examination of Acevedo, asked her whether she had taken "that (lie detector) test" (in the singular), and she answered, "Twice, yes."  Based on this answer, the Government then argued that the defendant had opened the doorto questioning about the first test for impeachment purposes.  At this stage, the trial court expressed a willingness to admit a broad range of evidence relevant to the evidentiary weight of the results of the second polygraph examination.  As to the first polygraph, the judge reiterated that it would not have been allowed as substantive evidence on its own, but that, given the existence of the second, admissible polygraph, his ruling did not mean that it could not come in for other purposes.  These "other purposes" included impeachment of the second test, and rebuttal of the impeachment.

10
Thus, in the first trial Acevedo was questioned about both tests and was allowed, for rehabilitation purposes, to testify that she had passed the first one.  The polygrapher


who administered the second test also was permitted to testify that Acevedo took and passed a first test, and that the test was not mechanically defective, though he was not allowed to state what questions were asked in the first test.

11
In the second trial, the existence of the first polygraph test was not mentioned during the direct or cross-examination of Acevedo.  The subject was first raised by the Government, during the cross-examination of the polygrapher.  As in the first trial, the Government attempted to impeach the results of the second examination on the ground that repeated testing may affect subsequent polygraph results.  On redirect, the defense attempted as in the first trial to introduce the fact that Acevedo had passed the first exam in orderto minimize the effects of the impeachment.  The trial judge agreed that the Government had "opened the door" on the issue.  Nevertheless, he sustained the Government's objection to the defense's line of questioning, relying on his pretrial ruling that the results of the first polygraph were too inconclusive to be admissible.  No mention was therefore made of the fact that Acevedo had passed the first test as had been shown at the first trial.

12
Acevedo argues that it was an abuse of discretion in the second trial to vary the ruling from what it had been in the first, and that the evidence was in fact admissible.  The Government argues that the change in ruling was justified by the difference in the proceedings in the


case.

15
At the first trial, the existence of the first polygraph was initially introduced (apparently inadvertently) by the defendant.  The judge then allowed questions about all aspects of the first test, with the single exception of the contents of the questions asked, to be used to impeach the results of the second test and for rebuttal to impeachment.  The Government, rather than the defense, "opened the door" in the second trial but in both cases the door was open.

16
Moreover, the two trials did not differ in the most relevant respect.  The purpose for which the defense sought to introduce the evidence was not different in the two trials.  In both trials, the Government used the existence of the first polygraph to impeach the results ofAs per Hindu Epic Ramayana, Ram Setu bridge was built by Vanara Army so that Lord Rama and his army can cross the ocean to reach Lanka. Nala is the Vanara, who is credited as the engineer of the Rama Setu, a bridge across the ocean between Rameswaram and Lanka. The bridge is also known as Nala Setu, the bridge of Nala. However, Hindu Epic Rama Charita Manasa credits Nala and his brother Nila both for the bridge’s creation.

WHO BUILT RAM SETU AND WHY IT WAS MADE?

As per Ramayana, Sita (the wife of Lord Rama) was kidnapped by Ravana, the rakshasa (demon) king of Lanka. Rama and him vanara army reached the end of land and They had to cross the ocean to reach Lanka. Rama worshipped Varuna


(the god of the ocean) and requested him to make the way for his army. When Varuna did not pay any attention to Lord Rama’s call, Rama started shooting various weapons at the sea which made the sea to dry. Varuna was scared and he pleaded to Rama and said He cannot provide the way for his army but he has the solution that may help. He told Rama that Nala, which is one of his vanara armies has the necessary expertise of an architect to build the bridge. Nala is the son of Vishwakarma ( the architect of the gods). Varuna suggested that Rama should construct a bridge across the ocean to Lanka under the supervision of Nala. Varuna also told Rama that both Nala and Nilapossess the ability to make stones float on water. Nala volunteers for the task. The vanaras threw stones with “Jai Shri Ram” written on it in the sea and stones started floating in the sea. It is said that Nala completed the 130 km bridge in just five days With the help of the vanara army.

WHAT DOES GOOGLE MAP SAY ABOUT RAM SETU BRIDGE?

Adam’s Bridge also known as Rama’s Bridge or Rama Setu is a chain of limestone shoals or sandbar between Pamban Island and Mannar Island. Pamban Island is also known as Rameswaram Island. Mannar Island is located in Sri Lanka. Geological evidence suggests that this Ram Setu is a bridge connecting India and Sri Lanka which was formed years only.

    II.      BACKGROUND

          A. Factual Background

          Beginning in 1998, plaintiff Robert O. White, Sr. served as a police officer at the Security

Services Division of the U.S. Government Printing Office (“GPO”), in its Uniformed Police

Branch. Plaintiff White is African-American.           In August 2006, White received an 89-day

temporary appointment to a Supervisory Police Officer (Sergeant) position. White served as

Acting Sergeant on each shift he worked


during the 89-day term of his temporary appointment.

          On October 29, 2006, White served as officer in charge of the first shift (7 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

and supervised four subordinate officers. As officer in charge, White completed the first shift

report, which is included in the daily activity log—a chronological account of events that

occurred throughout the day at various posts in GPO’s facilities. The log entry for October 29 at

7 a.m. reflected that White instructed subordinate officers that all vehicles and persons entering

the facility are to be inspected or screened and that all personnel are to possess the proper

identification.

          After completing the first shift, White worked eight hours of overtime duty     Post 41 is equipped with a stationary video camera pointed toward the magnetometer, x-

ray machine, and the entrance to the access control area of the post and records a video image of

all persons entering and leaving Building IV through Post 41. Post 41 is also furnished with a

podium that is equipped with computer monitors within the sight line of the officer on duty. A

button controlling access to the entry door to the secured sections of Building IV is adjacent to

the podium and can be used without requiring the officer to leave the post. While at the podium,

the officer also has access to a console controlling the operation of two turnstile barrier arms

positioned between the lobby of Building IV and the magnetometer. When activated,


area of Post 41, but stopped, did not

proceed through the magnetometer, and then left the lobby. Minutes later, at approximately 6:14

p.m., Everett, his female acquaintance, and a second woman entered the lobby of Building IV

and approached the turnstile barrier arms between the lobby and the magnetometer.

       When Everett returned, White told Everett that he had to relieve another officer, and

Everett responded, “I’ve got it.” AR109; AR128–29; AR132. White then used the console

controls to lower the turnstile barrier arms, admitting Everett and the two women into the secure

area of the post without further screening. With White standing behind the officer’s podium

inside the access control area, Everett and the two women proceeded through the magnetometer,

triggering the red indicator lights. At this time, Everett wasOfficer on October 20, 2006 and therefore governed the conduct of

officers assigned to Post 41 on October 29, 2006, the date of the events at issue in this case. See

Ex. K at 1. In the Complaint, White claims that the MSPB erred because the revised orders were

promulgated but never properly implemented, and points out that Post Order 41 had not yet been

physically replaced at the post on October 29. The MSPB found that on August 23, 2006, White

had received


White when Everett was on the other side of the turnstile arms. In fact,

Everett made the statement when he was physically restrained from exercising control over Post

41 because he was standing on the far side of the turnstile arms. Moreover, it was White who

admitted the two unauthorized visitors into the access control area of Post 41 by using the

console to lower the turnstile arms. When the two unauthorized visitors passed through the

magnetometer, it was White who saw that the red indicator lights had been triggered—not

Everett, whose back was to the machine.

       As the only officer in control of the post and fully able to observe it, and as the senior

officer present, White had a duty to follow post orders, to maintain theroom temperature. The reaction products, liquid and gaseous species, were analyzed with gas chromatographs, GL Science GC390B, Hitachi G-3000, Shimadzu GC-14B and a gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer Shimadzu GCMS-QP5050A. The conversion of cyclohexene was determined by (initial amount (9.87 mmol) -- residual amount measured)/initial amount. The total quantity of CO formed was estimated by summing the amounts of hydrofomylation product (cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde), its further hydrogenation product (cyclohexanemethanol), and CO remaining in the gas phase.

The phase behavior of reaction mixture was examined by the naked eye using another reactor attached with transparent quartz windows. The liquid phase used was NMP alone since the concentration of cyclohexene used in the reaction runs was small. In addition, in situ high pressure FTIR was used to study interactions of cyclohexene and some

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a lubricator for moving well equipment through a flow conductor.
2. The Prior Art
For various reasons, plugs or other well tools are positioned within well flow conductors prior to assembly of an underwater wellhead. Upon or after completion of the underwater wellhead, the plugs are removed to premit subsequent fluid flow through the conductor.
Some underwater wellheads are assembled within a submerged and enclosed work chamber. The work chamber is formed on the guide base of the underwater wellhead and provides a limited space within which personnel and equipment may maneuver. A portion of the underwater well flow conductor extends into the work chamber. Well equipment is run several feet through the flow conductor to retrieve the well plug therefrom.
Several factors preventof the work chamber. If the piston should fail, the rod could be pushed through the chamber wall. The integrity of the chamber would be destroyed and the lives of the personnel therein endangered. Another form of rod-type lubricator employs a segmented rod. Otherwise, it is similar to the first form. Again, a single stroke of the piston moves the rod and the retrival equipment a distance sufficient to reach the well plug. During controlled movement of the piston, the rod segments may be added or removed as desired. However, failure of the piston could result in the rod being extruded. Under such circumstances, the entire length of the rod would extrude out of the lubricator. Due to space limitations in the work chamber, if that occurred, the


body of evidence that Castro not only had foreknowledge of the plot to kill JFK but was actually behind it, most likely with Soviet backing.

Latell has many more explosive revelations from his Cuban source, Florentino Aspillaga, a highly decorated Cuban intelligence officer who defected in 1987 from the Directorate General of Intelligence (DGI). These include:

Castro had a “supermole” in the “upper reaches of the government” in Washington, D.C. This mole was so high up that he was “burrowed in at either the CIA or the Pentagon” and may still be in place.

Two members of the U.S. House of Representatives were “recruited” by the Cubans. Congress has been “a major target of Cuban intelligence operations.”

Another defector, Gerardo Peraza, has said Cuban intelligence has made “clandestine inroads within the USSenate,” but he was stopped from putting the evidence on the public record.

Castro’s military forces and intelligence agency played key roles in the 1979 overthrow of the government of Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua. This occurred under the administration of Democrat Jimmy Carter, who then extended U.S. aid to the communist Sandinistas taking power.

Chilean terrorists were trained by Cuba to assassinate Chile’s anti-communist president, Augusto Pinochet, who had overthrown the Marxist Salvador Allende.

In his book, as well as at an appearance at the Heritage Foundation, Latell states that:

Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and/or his brother Adan were likely recruited by Castro’s intelligence service years ago, which helps explain why the Venezuelan intelligence service today operates as an “adjunct” of the DGI and is “one of the best intelligence services” in


a retired FBI special agent, who wrote the 1998 book, Communism, the Cold War, and the FBI Connection. He wrote, “…I believe the heads of the FBI, CIA, and President Johnson wanted the Oswald case brought to a conclusion as fast as possible as they did not want another crisis with the Soviet Union so soon after the Cuban missile crisis.”

As Latell notes, the DGI worked closely with the Soviet intelligence service, the KGB. This makes Bly’s information about the Soviet KGB personnel in Mexico City having a possible connection to Oswald very interesting.

Bly retired from the FBI in 1963, after 23 years in the Bureau, and was then hired by Dr. Lothar Metzle, who ran the CIA unit known as the Communist International Group (CIG).

Bly said, “Inthe spring of 1965, I was sent to Mexico City to review all the files on Soviet personnel in Mexico which were located at the U.S. Embassy…During the course of my review…I ran across the following information that related to Lee Harvey Oswald and the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I was somewhat startled to learn that when Oswald was arrested in Dallas in November 1963, he was asked if he wanted an attorney. Oswald reportedly replied, ‘Yes, I want attorney Abt.’ It turns out that John Abt was the New York City attorney who Oswald understood was counsel for the CP [Communist Party] USA. Abt reportedly never returned the call.”

Bly went on, “Colonel Rudolf Abel, a suspected key Soviet KGB agent, was arrested in


New York City on 21 June, 1957. At the time of Abel’s arrest, much espionage evidence was located in his room at the Hotel Latham. When he was arrested he also reportedly indicated he wanted attorney Abt. Colonel Abel was convicted of espionage and served his prison sentence until 1962, when he was exchanged for U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers after long negotiations by attorney James Donovan.”

“When Oswald visited the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City in 1963,” Bly went on, “the man he went to see was the Soviet official in charge of issuing visas. This seemed quite reasonable, as the excuse Oswald gave for visiting the Embassy was to obtain a visa to visit Cuba. The irony of this situation is that the Soviet official in chargeof issuing visas was also the KGB Soviet espionage agent reportedly connected with KGB Department 13 activities, which included assassinations.”

Perhaps because they figured they would be implicated in the murder, along with Castro and the DGI, the Soviets tried to mask their connection to Oswald by publishing through a KGB front company, Marzani and Munsell, the book, Oswald, Assassin or Fall Guy. It attempted to blame right-wingers for the Kennedy assassination.

A review of the book by “American journalist” Victor Perlo in the Soviet New Times weekly said it rebutted the “myth” that Oswald was a communist.

It turned out that Perlo was a Communist Party USA member and Soviet agent. His daughter-in-law was CPUSA Official Joelle Fishman, who is currently a leading figure in the progressive movement and a

Hasan, who acted as his own attorney but demonstrated little interest in mounting a defense, was convicted on 13 charges of premeditated murder and 32 of attempted murder by a panel of senior officers. He showed no reaction as the verdict was read, according to news agencies. In the courtroom were several survivors of the attack and relatives of those killed, and some began to cry after Hasan and the panel had left the room.

The case will now move to a sentencing phase, during which


more witnesses may be called and the 42-year-old major could testify before a punishment is handed down.

The unanimous verdict closes a key chapter in one of the most painful episodes in recent U.S. military history. The FBI and Defense Department have been criticized for failing to spot warning signs that Hasan had become radicalized, and survivors have accused the government of abandoning them and depriving them of financial benefits.

Hasan, a U.S.-born Muslim, admitted responsibility for the shooting at the start of the trial, saying he had been on the wrong side of a war against Islam and had switched over. During the proceedings, he declined to call any witnesses, testify or give a closing argument. He was prohibited by military law from entering a guilty plea.

At a pretrialcivilian who tried to tackle the psychiatrist. Hasan was left paralyzed from the chest down after being shot by an Army police officer and now uses a wheelchair.

The shootings exposed a number of failings by the Defense Department, which a Pentagon report concluded was unprepared for internal threats, and by the FBI. On one occasion, Hasan gave a presentation to senior Army doctors in which he discussed Islam and suicide bombers and warned that Muslims should be allowed to leave the armed forces as conscientious objectors to avoid “adverse events.”

The FBI was also aware that Hasan had exchanged 18 e-mails with Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Islamic cleric who was a leading figure in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula before he was killed by a U.S. drone strike

The Devlins

The Devlins are an alternative rock band originating from Dublin, Republic of Ireland, although the eponymous Devlin brothers were born in Newry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

History
The Devlins have released four albums to date. Their first album, Drift, received a four-star review in Rolling Stone.

In 2009, singer and songwriter Colin Devlin released his first solo album, Democracy of One.

Soundtrack Inclusions
Their most recognized songs are "Waiting", featured in remix form on the 2002 Six Feet Under soundtrack, but originally from their 1997 release Waiting; and "World Outside", which was included in the 2004 drama Closer and also used in HBO advertisements for their original programming.

Their song "Crossing The River" is featured in the soundtrack of Batman Forever. Their Song "Montreal" was featured in one episode of DiscoveryMycoplasma felis pleuritis in two show-jumper horses.
Mycoplasma felis was identified as the cause of acute pleuritis in 2 show-jumping horses. The pleural exudate was proteinaceous, contained large numbers of neutrophils, and had a markedly increased lactate concentration. M. felis was isolated in pure culture from pleural fluid. Rising serum antibody titers to M. felis as well as a precipitous decline in titers to equine influenza virus were demonstrated in both horses. Pleural effusion in both horses and a pneumothorax detected in one of the horses resolved following a single drainage of pleural fluid and intravenous fluid, antibiotic, and analgesic therapy.

For a three week stint in the summer, we backpacked down the east coast of Australia, and it was awesome! We started in Sydney, where I attended the 85 Broad Advantage conference for women in leadership as the scholarship recipient. It was really interesting to interact with Australian students in a classroom setting - everyone was very nice, helpful, and inquisitive. Did you know that you can decide to be a doctor in high school, apply for college, and graduate about four years later with a medical degree?? Pretty cool! At least that was my understanding from what the girls told me. After the conference ended, me and my boyz palled around Sydney, walking, seeing the sites, hangin with Michael's cousin. We had a blastcord unit. Each of the first to ninth lace portions has a lower end and an upper end. The lower ends of the first, second and third lace portions are adapted to be anchored on the first eyelet tab. The lower ends of the fourth, fifth and sixth lace portions are adapted to be anchored on the second eyelet tab. The upper ends of the first and second lace portions are interconnected to form a first loop. The upper ends of the seventh and eighth lace portions are interconnected to form a second loop. The upper ends of the third and ninth lace portions serve as distal lace segments. The clamp member is sleeved slidably on medial sections of the first, second and third lace portions. The upper

Meet the Board

Board of Trustees
As of March 2017

Chair

Patricia E. Corey and her husband, Alan, moved to Aiken in 1985. Both had family connections so had visited multiple times – Alan since he was a small child and Pat since late 1970s. A large part of their experience with Aiken was their love of the Hitchcock Woods, so when they purchased a home, they chose one as close to the Woods as they could get. After moving to Aiken, Pat became involved with civic activities. She chaired the committee that was tasked with writing the Historic Preservation Ordinance for the City of Aiken. Once it was adopted, she was appointed by the City of Aiken to the first Historic Preservation Commission where she also served as chair. She eventuallystepped down to join the Solicitor’s Office of the Second Judicial District of the State of South Carolina where she practiced as a Solicitor for a number of years. Pat also practiced as a Guardian ad litem in Family Court and as the Deputy Solicitor for Aiken Public Safety prior to her retirement. Pat became a trustee of the Hitchcock Woods Foundation in the mid 1990s and has been actively involved with the Foundation since.


magick along with parts of the Solomonic grimoire tradition. In many ways, Alex pointed the way for me to proceed in my own spiritual and magickal travels. Even though I was initiated into the Alexandrian tradition on Candlemas, 1976, I never got the chance to meet Alex or Maxine Sanders while they lived together in London in the 70's. I had an acquaintance who met them and even briefly circled with them as a guest, but I never got the opportunity to travel to England to meet them myself. (Some who knew him well have told me that this was probably a good thing, since Alex was reputed to be a very “naughty” boy.)

Alex left behind very few writings, and from what I was able to determine fromhis written lectures and what others who knew him said about his studies, he was much more of a classical occultist and trained medium than I am, since he readily mixed eastern philosophies, Theosophy and spiritualism with his practical workings. However, Alex was quite an experimenter, and was attempting to fuse a number of different fragmentary systems of occultism together, to create his own version of a pagan system of the Golden Dawn. He lionized the use of the Rose Ankh, which he saw as a replacement or addition to the Rose Cross. Still, the many pictures of him and Maxine, and the books by Stewart Farrar, particularly the first book, “What Witches Do,” and the more nonsensical biography “King of the Witches” completely captured my imagination at


For the sake of his writings, I am grateful for his contribution to the practice of ritual and ceremonial magick.

The final individual that I feel an affinity and respect for is Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, another giant in the annals of western occultism and ceremonial magick. Mathers was responsible for the formulation and establishment of the Golden Dawn organization. It was Mathers who brought the practice of magick from where it had been left in the 17th century into the late 19th century.

Mathers was an excellent scholar and researcher in his own right, and his unwitting legacy stands the test of time. I say unwitting, because Mathers would not have agreed with the Golden Dawn materials being published, and he unsuccessfully attempted to stop Crowley from publishing thatlore in the Equinox. After that incident, the flood gate was opened, and there was nothing that Mathers could do to stem the tide. He passed away in the post WWI influenza epidemic that ravaged Paris and he didn’t live to see the fruit of that unwarranted publication. A few other of Mathers’ personal occult manuscripts were published by Crowley, and these, along with the Golden Dawn corpus and the few of Mathers’ legitimate publications represent a massive collection of transitional documents, showing how the occult lore of the earlier modern era was evolved into a system that is both elegant and workable today. Mathers’ legacy to the modern practice of ritual and ceremonial magick is virtually priceless, since the Golden Dawn has spawned a multitude of magickal


and pagan systems throughout the western world.

I have often given Mathers a great deal of credit for starting the modern occult revolution of the 20th century, particularly in regards to the practice of magick and western based occultism. Little is actually known about Mathers and his life, and the various pundits and biographers who have written about him have not been very kind to his memory, beginning with Crowley himself. I would suspect that Mathers was a completely honorable man who steadfastly subscribed to the proper chain of transmission and secrecy inherent in the occult orders and organizations of the 18th and 19th centuries. That many no longer hold these values and beliefs as sacrosanct does not in any way diminish Mathers, his accomplishments and his steadfast beliefmagick is determined by the cycles of the Moon and the Sun.

In addition, the magician should periodically perform spiritual liturgies that forge a proper spiritual alignment with the Deity or Deities representing the core of one’s personal religious cult. As I stated previously, the system of ritual that I advocate requires the periodic and consistent immersion of the self within the spiritual qualities and persona of the Godhead. These periodic practices are also determined by the cycles of the Moon and the Sun, which act as the primary demarcation of the liturgical and magickal calendar.

The changing cycles of the Moon and the seasons of the Sun represent an interplay of the natural phenomenon of light and darkness, which can be interpreted in many ways. In monotheistic religions in


the West, the interplay of light and darkness are seen as the seemingly never ending combat between good and evil. Yet in the earth-based spiritual traditions, the interplay is seen as part of the normal processes of nature and are not given any kind of moral value.

Alternation and interplay between light and darkness is observed first with the diurnal cycle, then with the passage of months and quarters of the year, where the Moon waxes and wanes and the Sun and its associated diurnal period alternates between longer days and longer nights. The tides can also figure into this changing pattern (if one lives near a coastal region), and the changing vegetative growing seasons as well. All of these cycles have an impact on religions and their variousof winter (purification) and summer (first fruits), respectively. All four of these celebrations involve some form of fire veneration (bale fires). Some basic themes for these chthonic mysteries are as follows.

Candlemas (Feb. 1) - Renewal of Light and Life - honoring the Goddess of Rebirth.

Beltaine (May 1) - Celebrating the entrance of the Fire God of Life, Love and Wealth. The Black Lord of Death emerges from the underworld to become the Green Man.

Lammas (Aug. 1) - First Fruits - celebration of the new bread loafs and ale - also summer games and the mourning of the Green Man (who receives a mortal wound).

Samhain - Feast of the Dead - honoring the ancestors - return of the Green Man into the underworld as Dark Lord of Death.

Self-Transformation Cycle


- Symbols: Marriage of Light and Darkness, Apotheosis - The cycle of the self is also known as the initiation or transcendental cycle. On a microcosmic level, it is the cycle of transformation of the individual as he or she incrementally experiences ascension and ultimately, self as godhead. On a macrocosmic level, it is the creation, conserving and ultimate dissolution of the universe - known as the Cosmogonic cycle. Humans and the Deity both engage in this process of creation and destruction, although the role of humanity must be viewed as that of pursuing a collective goal, achieved over a vast period of time and encompassing a myriad of lifetimes.

Where the planetary egregore, which is perceived as the cosmic Deity, and humanity merge produces an entity that isfollowing natural phenomena:

Cycle of Day and Night (Light and Darkness),

Monthly Lunar Cycle,

Solar Cycle and Four Seasons,

Cycle of Birth and Death,

Paradoxical nature of Spirit and Deity.

These five mysteries are analogous to what had been incorporated as mythic elements in the ancient mysteries, as we have already seen. The number is not arbitrary, but it is also neither a doctrine nor a dogma. It is a theory, and more importantly, a way to divide up the natural phenomena of existence in order to better understand it.

The Mysteries, as liturgical mechanisms (magickal rituals), are performed by the individual and groups to gain an experience of the godhead within the domain of Spirit and Nature. This makes the mysteries into transcendental occurrences that must be experienced in order to be realized. Experience


and where it also functions as a luminary in the sky, the moon appears most dramatically during the night, when it has its greatest effect.

The moon shining in the night symbolizes the light that subtly illuminates the darkness, creating as many illusions and strange shadows as it reveals the contours of landscapes hidden by the night. Its illumination is spectral and represents the world as it is perceived in the unconscious mind, full of mystery and pervaded by strange fantasies. Such an environment is ideal for seekers who wish to know the nature of the hidden and inner self, and so the night and lunar magick assists the magician in determining the nature and the topology of the deep structure of the self, and the shared domain ofthe culture, the geographic location and the time when they exist.

Yet the sun has its own cycle, particularly one that determines the duration of the year. A solar year is that 365 day period in which the earth makes its orbital sweep around the sun. Yet from our perspective on earth, it is the sun that makes this transition. It is the combination of the orbital cycle around the sun and the fixed tilting of the earth’s axis that causes the amount of light from the sun to vary as the earth circles around it, causing both the phenomena of shorter and longer days and the changing of the seasons in the temperate regions of the earth. When the earth’s northern polar axis is tilted toward the sun,


then summer and warmer weather ensues in the northern latitudes, while winter and colder weather ensues in the southern latitudes. When the earth’s northern polar axis is tilted away from the sun, then winter and colder weather occurs in the northern latitudes, while summer and warmer weather occurs in the southern latitudes.

The tilted axis and the orbital position of the earth relative to the sun are two processes that are really derived from the same phenomenon. They determine the seasons and help establish the calculation of the annual calendar, which is perceived as the transit of the sun through the twelve zodiacal signs situated at the celestial equator. While it is actually the earth that is making this transit around the sun, from the perspective of astrology, thesun appears to move through the zodiac on the path of the ecliptic, making a complete cycle approximately every 365 days. This annual progression through the twelve signs of the zodiac and the changing seasons, represent the two aspects of the solar cycle and its associated mysteries, which are the changing seasons and the corresponding waxing and waning of sunlight, and the life cycle of vegetation that are subject to these variations.

In the latitudes that are distant from the earth’s equator there is a noticeable difference between the changing of the seasons and the waxing and waning of light from the sun. The summer solstice represents the longest period of daylight during the year, and every day thereafter finds that the days become shorter in relation to the


cycles that are inter-related but not equivalent.

As previously indicated, the solar cycle has four distinct nodes, and these are the two solstices and the two equinoxes. The sun proceeds on its apparent journey through the annual cycle, and the duration of daylight waxes to its climactic event at the summer solstice, and then starts to wane until it reaches its point of greatest diminishment at the winter solstice. The equinoxes determine the points during the year where the period of daylight is balanced against the night, but where either the light is in its ascendency or decline. The four solar events represent the transition of the periodicity of daylight vs. night, and also represent the four seasons in their transition from one season to the next. These foursolar events are concerned with the powers of light and darkness, and represent the transformative forces active in each of the four seasons.

The vegetative life cycle occurs during the four seasons, and these are marked by four periods that represent the fullness of each of those seasons. These four events occur in-between the solstices and the equinoxes, and represent the state of the life cycle of vegetation, which is also emulated by all living things in one manner or another. Thus there is birth, growth, maturity and death, symbolizing the growing cycle of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. These four seasonal events are concerned with the powers of life and death, so they are considered to be characterized as chthonic forces in nature and aligned to the deepest


structure existing in all living things. The cycle of life and death is considered the greatest of all mysteries to those who live and must eventually die. The human life cycle consists of the mysteries of birth, puberty, procreation, maturity (aging) and death. This life cycle and its mysteries are echoed in various manners in all living things.

A spiritual seeker has an internal cycle as well, and this cycle is in addition to the cycle of the moon, sun and the seasons, and the cycle of life and death. This cycle can actually be dormant in some individuals and be barely perceptible in others, but when activated, its dynamism drives one to become a spiritual seeker. This cycle is represented by the dynamic interaction of a person’s consciousunite and become one. The seeker achieves union with the Deity through the mystery of the Hieros Gamos, or Sacred Marriage, which is the core mystery of the Cycle of the Hero – the transformative initiation cycle.

This separation of Deity and self is imbedded in the reality of the separate self, which was a survival requirement for the human species. Also, as we develop and consciously grow and evolve, we usually start from the same place, which has been labeled by psychologists as the mental egoic level of conscious development. It is a level of consciousness where the separate self is celebrated, and then lionized at the higher Centauric level of development – at least, according to Ken Wilber.

Devotion to Deity, or Bhakhti, as it is known in


infusion of Spirit to life itself.

There are also the rituals and blessing of the Deity that marks the passage of life, and these are known as the sacraments of naming (birth), confirmation (assumption of one’s role within spiritual community), marriage (union of opposites), seniority (eldership), and the final blessing, as the last rites (death). There is also the sacrament of transformative initiation itself (initiation degrees or holy orders), which is marked by the sacrament of the chrism (oil of anointing), laying on of hands and the pneuma (breath). In addition to communion, there is also atonement, which represents the process of self purification, ego abasement and reduction to simplicity required to enter into a state of communion with the Deity.

We have thoroughly covered the five mysteries as Iallowing some the ability to challenge what was once forbidden to question in orthodox religion. Once again, spiritual seekers have appeared and the old questions that fueled the ancient mystery cults have become renewed and even popular.

Due to this fluctuation in belief, new religions have been born in the last century, attempting to deal with the apparent shortcomings of the old orthodox teachings. Mystical and esoteric perspectives have also begun to gain greater currency. Even the relapse into conservative religious faith is nothing more than humanity seeking greater assurance and certainty in spiritual matters. The study of magick has also found itself tasked with the spiritual search for inner truth and a greater understanding of transcendental states of consciousness. For some, this search is irrelevant, since for them,


such a strong proponent of Godhead assumption in the practice of ritual magick, since it leads one to ever higher transcendental states.

2. Mystery Cults and Rites in Antiquity

In order to acquire a more thorough background in the nature of the mysteries, it is important to examine the ancient mystery cults, particularly those in the Greek and Roman worlds. Perhaps one of the best resources for gaining this precious background is found in the book written by Walter Burkert, entitled “Ancient Mystery Cults,” (1987, Harvard University Press). While Mr. Burkert assiduously avoided cluttering up his book with too wide of a scope, he decided to focus on just five of the more famous mystery cults. These cults were the mysteries of Eleusis, the Bacchic mysteries, mysteries of Meter, thetoday, and that they address the same kind of polarity of light and dark, life and death, addressed in modern versions of the mysteries. We find that phenomenon not only in the changing seasons, but also in the life span of all living things. The capriciousness of material life in this world is a fragile thing that is both precious and easily extinguished.

The language of the mysteries was, and still is, myth and allegory. Mythic plays, acted out by a handful of role players for the benefit of the group, were the most comprehensible and immediate way to communicate things about the gods, and life and death that would otherwise be impossible to relate. Myths are rooted in an oral tradition that teaches more through showing than eulogizing,


often to deepen and expand the narrow focus of the mystery.

Source of the Ancient Mysteries

The ancient source of the mystery cults was a form of votive worship. It was the act of making a promise or vow to give offerings to a specific god, and then fulfilling it. Votive worship represented a very personal form of religion, as opposed to the common community based religious festivals provided by the polis. It was a form of religious expression that was uniquely expressed between an individual and a single god, characterized by one’s faith, and seeking a form of personalized salvation (soteria). Votive worship was a kind of experimental religious expression, and so, too, were the mysteries, since they could as easily achieve as well as disappoint the one seekingAlso, Mr. Burkert has stated that the migration of oriental mystery cults occurred first as a votive religion, with the mystery cult initiation forming around the nucleus of that practice later. It would seem, then, that votive religion was a seductive way to deal with the issues of life, to seek some kind of assurance – this would attract one to seek salvation from many other gods and cults, until salvation was achieved (or not).

There were three major organization forms in the practice of mystery cults. The first was the individual teacher or wandering mendicant, the second was a clergy associated with a mystery temple or sanctuary, and the third was a public association of initiates, such as a club, or “thiasos.” The larger and more wealthy organizations


Malnutrition Costs Pakistan $7.6 Billion Every Year

The consequences of malnutrition – including lost laborers, healthcare expenses and lower productivity – cost Pakistan US$7.6 billion, or 3 percent of GDP, every year, according to a new report launched by the Pakistan Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Secretariat at the Ministry of Planning Development & Reform, in collaboration with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

The report “The Economic Consequences of Undernutrition in Pakistan: An Assessment of Losses” used economic modeling to review 15 nutrition indicators from the 2011 National Nutrition Survey and the 2013 Pakistan Demographic Graphic Survey.

Report Findings

More than 177,000 children die every year in Pakistan before their fifth birthday because they or their mother are malnourished. The value of this lost future workforce is estimated at US$2.24 billionand problems

of this, he was presecribed an anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication.  Further
evaluation eventually documented diaphragmatic stimulation and a new right

discharged in excellent condition.

The report has three final sections setting out the three statutorily required elements:

the problem.  Attempts at adjusting the ventricular pacing outputs should routinely
be attempted and would most likely have pinpointed the problem


any reference to Dr. Kessler refers to him individually and to his employer, Austin Heart,
may be fairly read as signaling that the report is about Dr. Kessler.  In addition, Dr. Cororve's
description of Mr. Webb's medical history covers five visits with and one e-mail to Dr. Kessler
spanning two and one half years in which Dr. Kessler noted the following:  "possibly diaphragmatic
stimulation intermittently," a second complaint about abdominal twitching, Mr. Webb's awareness
of pacing intermittently and suspicion of diaphragmatic stimulation, Mr. Webb's awareness of
pacing at higher outputs, disbelief that the patient had true diaphragmatic stimulation, Mr. Webb's
ongoing anxiety and request for assistance managing the anxiety, and Mr. Webb's complaining of
palpitations, but "I am reluctant to place a new lead at this time."  The report's two references to

PER CURIAM:

William Horace Johnson was convicted following his guilty plea
to one count of making threatening telephone calls for the purpose of

suant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), alleging that the
district court erred by denying Johnson's motion for a downward
departure based on diminished capacity pursuant to USSG § 5K2.13.*
Johnson has also filed a pro se supplemental brief in which he appears
to allege that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance, that he is the
victim of a conspiracy, and that his guilty plea was involuntary. Find-

Queensland will probably be disappointed with that result as many north of the border were happy that David Klemmer missed out. The Knights enforcer is now likely to be rushed straight into the team.

9.54pm: Still waiting on a verdict. It's now been 49 minutes. We are heading into Billy Slater territory. It took 54 minutes to clear him to play in last year's grand final.

"No, he was running so fast into me I needed to make a play," Sims says. "He engaged me. The play was halted to see that Mick was alright; then the scrum was packed. There was no penalty."

8.05pm: Footage of Sims' shot on North Queensland's Michael Morgan is being played for the panel now, with six angles shown in total.

8pm: Next up is Tariq Sims, who is challenging his grade 2 dangerous contact charge. We've got the same judiciary panel and NRL counsel in Peter McGrath and James McLeod also defending Sims as well as Burgess.

Sims needs to prove he is not guilty to play in the Origin decider on July 10. If he fails, David Klemmer will head into Blues camp on Wednesday morning asof person I am."

6.10pm: Footage now being showed of Burgess's eye gouge on Kiwi captain Dallin Watene-Zelezniak last year, for which he was suspended for a month. There's also vision of Canberra forward Hudson Young's eye gouge on Canterbury's Aiden Tolman which saw him hit with a five-game ban earlier in the year. Most would argue that Burgess is probably in a category above those. Time will tell. Remember, Young was deemed a grade three. This has been referred straight to the judiciary and deemed worse than that of Young.

6.05pm: We're underway here in a big night at Rugby League Central. George Burgess's lawyer states that his client accepts that the contact with Farah was careless. However in pleading guilty, he doesn't accept that his contact was deliberate


or reckless in his actions. Footage of the incident now being showed in slow motion from every possible angle. It's going to be a hard sell for Burgess tonight.

Paopao is no stranger to Ottawa, having previously played quarterback for the Ottawa Rough Riders (1987) before serving as head coach of the Ottawa Renegades from 2002-2005.

“We feel very fortunate to add Joe to our coaching staff,” said REDBLACKS Head Coach Rick Campbell. “His wealth of knowledge and experience coaching and playing in the CFL will be a huge asset to our offence.”

Containment of the West Fork Complex Fire grew to 25 percent over the weekend, however it was reduced to 19 percent on Monday "due to a more accurate assessment of the total fire acreage," fire officials said.

The total amount of structures threatened by the blaze was also reduced to 441 -- 407 residences, 7 commercial and 27 outbuildings.

The West Fork Complex Fire, burning about 14 miles northeast of Pagosa Springs, consists of three wildfires -- the West Fork, Windy Pass and Papoose fires -- that were combined into a single complex on Sunday, June 16, and have been burning since.

The Papoose Fire has burned a total of 49,056 acres, West Fork Fire has burned a total of 59,932 acres and the Windy Pass Fire has burned 1,417 acres-- altogether the West Fork Complex has burned 110,405 acres.

The fire began burning on June 5 and is believed to have been started by lightning.

The blaze is fueled by the large amount of beetle-killed spruce and fir trees in the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests. Much of the area where the fire is burning is steep, rugged terrain making it incredibly difficult and unsafe for firefighters to mount a direct attack.

No structures are believed to have been lost to the erratic wildfire which began burning on June 5 and no fatalities or injuries have been reported.

According to InciWeb.org, evacuations remain in place on the northern and eastern edges of Papoose and in the Humphrey's area west of West Fork. Pre-evacuations are still in effect for subdivisions


and structures north and east of West Fork as well as northeast of Papoose.

JAMESTOWN, N.C. -- With pool season underway, Triad lifeguards and swim program directors are urging families to heed caution in the water and prevent the "silent killer" -- more commonly referred to as drowning.

Ragsdale YMCA aquatics director Justine Intiso reiterated the importance of knowing never to swim alone and without a lifeguard present. She said all supervisors, especially those inample distance, so as to avoid being pulled into the water by the swimmer's grip on the flotation object.

Intiso said some swimmers tend to use air-filled flotation devices, like noodles or tubes, to stay afloat. She said these devices cannot substitute an approved life jacket or safety vest, as children can slip through or become tangled in non-approved devices.

3-Day Italy Trip: Naples, Pompeii and Amalfi

Naples is the region's capital and filled with historic castles and sites. The city was first colonized by the ancient Greeks, who gave it the name Neapolis (new city). Today, Naples' city center is on the UNESCO World HeritageList.

A short distance from Naples stands the once lost city of Pompeii. Covered in ash from a volcanic eruption in 79 B.C., the site was only accidentally discovered during renovations some 1,700 years later.

Winding along coastal roads, the rugged town of Amalfi emerges with its colorful terraces perched along steep slopes. In the public squares below, take your pick of restaurants and linger in souvenir shops where red coral jewelry is the signature accessory.

Day 1:Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi (L, D)After departing Rome, drive along the "Sun Route" motorway and cross the regions of Lazio and Campania. Once in Naples, enjoy a short city tour before continuing towards Pompeii where lunch in a restaurant is provided. A UNESCO World Heritage listed site, Pompeii is one of the must see


assistance has been made available for 2003 losses.

Description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers several permanently authorized programs to help farmers recover financially from a natural disaster, including federal crop insurance, the noninsured assistance program (NAP), and emergency disaster loans. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (otherwise known as the 2008 farm bill) includes authorization and funding for crop disaster programs, livestock assistance programs, and a tree assistance program. The new programs are designed to address the ad hoc nature of disaster assistance provided to producers during the last two decades.

Description: This report has two sections. The first provides an overview of the current U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) disaster assistance programs: federal crop insurance, NAP payments, emergency disaster loans, the new Supplemental Revenue AssistancePayments Program (SURE), and four other smaller disaster programs authorized in the 2008 farm bill. The second section reviews the recent history of emergency supplemental farm disaster assistance.

And it is understood from sources close to the club that Lukaku is now the man Mourinho wants to spearhead his United attack. Asked if Ibrahimovic wanted to stay at United, Raiola told talkSPORT: "Oh, yes". United have struggled in that department ever since his injury but players like Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba have been holding the fort. Now Everton are demanding £100m for the Belgium striker.

There is a sense of well-placed pride in the Italian's words as he declares his contentment with his squad, who broke a Premier League record by winning 30 league games in a single season. Wenger has ruled out selling either player even if they don't sign new deals, but the board members will also have to debate whether they're willing to


sacrifice massive transfer fees in order to keep the duo for one more year.

Joe Root's shot was then perhaps a signal of England's mis-adventure when he missed Parnell's full-length inswing to be plumb lbw. It was never going to be enough, though, as South Africa gave themselves a boost going into next month's Champions Trophy , and Amla led their charge.

Two weeks later Madrid salvaged a point at the Nou Camp with Sergio Ramos stepping up to the plate to score a trademark header late in stoppage time.

Madrid play their final leaguegame off the campaign against Malaga on Sunday, and that gives Isco an opportunity to win his first league title in his home town, something he said would be special. What's more, Malaga boss Michel reiterated that he is a staunch Real Madrid fan ahead of the match . "We scored early and then had 20 hard minutes", added Zidane.

Irving set the tone early in the third quarter as he did in Game 4 by scoring the Cavs first 10 points in the quarter as the Cavs built their lead to 35 points after three quarters and coasted from there as the starters rested the entire fourth quarter.

LeBron James and the defending champion Cavaliers are headed back to the NBA Finals . The 5-foot-9 point guard had a career season, leading the NBA's Eastern Conference in scoring with 28.9 points per game and helping vault the Celtics into the East finals with several epic playoff performances .

Following his victory, Gustafsson made it clear why he considers Jones his "biggest enemy". Both Gustafsson and Teixeira have fought for the light heavyweight title and have lost. Teixeira was convincingly beaten by Jon Jones back in 2014, while Gustafsson was on the losing end of two very close decisions, the first to Jones and the secondsuch odds is that none of his challenger's previous opponents could hold a candle to him. The former thinks another classic could be in the offing with Spence and he would not be surprised if both men are knocked down before a conclusion is reached.

It was a fitting finale to Steenson's testimonial season after 10 years at the club. Much of the final's build-up had been about the potential dominance of the Exeter pack, and those comments appeared justified as Chiefs gained two penalties inside the opening four minutes to pile pressure on Wasps .

The 36-year-old was substituted after 26 minutes of the 5-1 win over Sunderland - to match the squad number he has worn across 717 Chelsea appearances - and received a guard of honour from

"In the past week, we have worked with the NFL on the resolution that was presented today and are supportive of the NFL Owners' decision to play Super Bowl LV in Tampa and to have Los Angeles host Super Bowl LVI in 2022".

This attempt was made more hard when star guard Isaiah Thomas left Game 2 with a hipinjury . The game also saw Thomas lose one of his teeth during a play and he spent the next few days with a swollen mouth following a couple of multi-hour dental procedures.

Some stuff, however, is still illegal. The post comes after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly opted to relax some of the league's celebration penalties, per USA Today's Tom Pelissero . This has its advantages, though it will make the job more hard for general managers, head coaches and pro personnel departments, as well as fans trying to predict their team's roster.

Abuja, Nigeria, December
26, 2012--Nigerian authorities must immediately release two journalists who have
been detained since Monday and allow a third journalist who has fled into
hiding to return to his home and work freely, the Committee to Protect
Journalists said today.

In pre-dawn raids on
Monday, about 40 armed security agents arrested Aliyu Saleh, a reporter with Al-Mizan, a weekly Hausa-language
newspaper, and Musa Muhammad Awwal, the paper's editor, at their homes in
Rigasa in the northern state of Kaduna, according to news reports. The agents also confiscated the
journalists' phones and money and briefly
detained the journalists' wives, news reports said.

Abuja, Nigeria, December 18, 2012--State security
agents in Southeast Nigeria blocked a reporter from filing a story Saturday
evening about the status of a governor who hasn't been seen for several months.
The Committee to Protect Journalists today condemnedthis act of crude
censorship.

At about 11:30 p.m. local time Saturday, seven plainclothes
men accosted Ozioma Ubabukoh, a reporter with private media group Punch Newspapers, at the entrance of his
home in Trans-Ekulu in the southeastern state of Enugu, according to
local journalists and news
reports. Ubabukoh told CPJ the men identified themselves as agents of
Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) and seized his telephone before ordering
him to take them into his home. Two of the men threatened to "rough him up" if
he didn't cooperate, Ubabukoh said.
