![]() Rising from the pallet, she wrapped herself in a ragged but thick cotton shawl and padded across the well-swept earthen floor. Light and color played in patterns beneath her closed eyelids, and she wondered at the restlessness that had troubled her these past months. An exquisite pang rippled through her body, while two small children slept peacefully at her side. The air was electric with the coming monsoon that glowered in the afternoon light, almost chartreuse against luminous blue-black clouds in a heavy sky.

A BOOK FOR STUDENTS OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION, OR ANYONE FASCINATED WITH EASTERN TRADITIONS, ESPECIALLY THOSE YEARNING FOR A LOVE STORY THAT INCLUDES SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS (DHARMA) AND SCHOLARSHIP. ![]() Robert Svoboda, author of Mysticism in the 21st Century and Aghora: At the Left Hand of God. Thanks to Mary Angelon Young, Chandidas and Rami live again to sing the glories of Krishna and Radha to a new audience. The reader is transported into an era when the basic human freedom to create, love, and worship based on one’s natural impulse had to be carved from the stone of rigid hierarchical, even feudal, societal and religious structures. ![]() Vivid descriptions of cultural and natural environments along with richly detailed characters capture the religion, politics, and lifestyle of the late 14th /early 15th century of remote Bengali villages. The synthesis of these elements, together with rare insight into the practices of a genuine tantric sect, creates an unforgettable alchemy for readers. Krishna’s Heretic Lovers is an historical romance that blends fiction and fact, love and sex, action and spiritual teachings, politics, and true characters with the authentic poetry written by the revered poet Chandidas (later known as the “Father of Bengali poetry”). Rami leaves all of her familiar world behind to travel, sing and praise the Divine with her beloved Chandidas, along the dusty roads of Bengal. An overwhelming magnetism of love and fate compels them to come together against prevailing religious and social customs. To survive, she washes the clothes of local villagers. Rami is a beautiful 20-year-old widow, of low caste, living with her two children. He is a young Brahmin priest who renounces his caste status to become an heretical poet-musician wandering the byways of India with a small band of mystics and bards. #Risk of rain 2 heretic downloadThose interested can also download the pack from here.This book recounts the legendary love story of Chandidas and Rami, 14th-century Bengalis.

![]() Jack Woodward, a lawyer for the nation, told the court on Monday that expert evidence shows the Nuchatlaht were organized into a confederacy of sorts, with a number of groups who shared a summertime gathering place in the claim area. The lawsuit asks for a declaration that recognizes their title and puts a stop to logging. and federal governments have denied their rights by “effectively dispossessing” them of the land. The Nuchatlaht Nation, which has about 160 members, claims the B.C. The legal test would not allow the modern Nuchatlaht to take on the title of other historical Indigenous groups whose members joined or merged with them, he said. He told the court that case law has established that Aboriginal title is not transferable. ![]() #NOOTKA ISLAND TRIAL#Supreme Court trial on Tuesday that the government disputes the First Nation’s claim to 230 square kilometres of land on Nootka Island, off Vancouver Island’s west coast.Įchols said the “modern-day” Nuchatlaht draws its membership from a broader base of Indigenous Peoples, and the province plans to present evidence showing the First Nation wasn’t alone in using the island when the Crown asserted sovereignty over what’s now B.C. The water taxi shuttles out into the Nuchatlitz, on day one, where your kayaks & guides are waiting, and on day 6 the group paddles back to Zeballos.A lawyer for the British Columbia government says it admits members of the Nuchatlaht First Nation are descended from a historical Indigenous collective, but the lineage through a family of chiefs doesn’t establish Aboriginal title to an area its claiming.

The water taxi shuttle (often 2 trips) is early on the final morning, allowing you time to connect with ferries to Vancouver. Kayak Start: Launch kayaks just outside Zeballos on day one, and take a water taxi home on day 6. The order of your trip won’t be set until closer to the tour, but will run in one of two ways: Weather permitting, we plan to arrive back in Zeballos around noon on the sixth day, in time for people to catch ferries out of Nanaimo returning to Vancouver. On all trips our travels will take us through Esperanza Inlet, to Nootka Island and, weather permitting, to Nuchatlitz Inlet. We typically break camp four out of our six paddling days.

Our Nootka trips have water taxi transport at one end, to minimize inlet paddling and maximize the area we can cover.įor those interested in developing or improving their kayaking skills, our guides are always happy to provide paddling tips, practice rescues, or discuss the art of navigation. ![]() Our first day can be challenging, as strong headwinds can blow down Esperanza Inlet as we paddle out. The area offers some protected paddling between rocky islets as well as the opportunity, weather permitting, for paddlers to get a taste of the exposed west coast and ocean swells generated by the Pacific Ocean (This trip isn’t a good first choice if you have troubles with motion sickness, as it is generally more exposed than our other destinations). Weather and sea conditions will ultimately determine our route. We paddle approximately 4-5 hours each day, leaving plenty of time for hiking in the woods, or just relaxing on the beach. Our maximum group size is 12, including guides, often group size is smaller. We take along 6 to 8 single kayaks: Necky Teslas, Current Designs Solstive GTs, Arluk IIIs, Arluk IVs and Nimbus Telkwas and 2 or 3 double kayaks – Passats, Skanas, Tofinos and take turns in a variety of boats. #NOOTKA ISLAND HOW TO#No kayaking experience is required, although we do insist that you know how to swim, have a good fitness level and a good sense of adventure.Īll kayaking and safety equipment is provided, including dry bags. ![]() ![]() ![]() A pathological liar will lie for many of the same reasons, but when you realize that they’re lying and call them out on it… they will continue to lie and not feel bad about it. A Pathological LiarĪ compulsive liar will habitually exaggerate and embellish in an effort to be seen, heard, and inflate their fragile ego. It is impossible to have a genuine connection, relationship, or any kind of intimacy with these people. The relationship that you have with them will be just as bad as the one they have with themselves. Either way, a relationship with a pathological liar or a compulsive liar will be the worst relationship of your life. Although the definitions are fluid, I do think that there are differences. When lying gets out of control, it is referred to as compulsive. However… There’s a big difference between dating someone who has occasionally lied and someone who is a compulsive liar or even worse, a pathological liar. According to a study at the University of Massachusetts, sixty percent of people cannot even have a 10-minute conversation without lying at least one time. And so, you work harder to understand them instead of folding and getting the f*ck out of Dodge. You will hold onto the little crumbs of truth in their lies because deep down, you don’t believe that you are good enough for the whole truth. If you engage in self-deception, you will be that much more susceptible to excuse others when they lie to you. When it comes to dating or any kind of relationship, the level to which you deceive yourself will always mirror the toleration you have for others deceiving you. ![]() Self-respect and pathologically (or compulsive) lying cannot coexist. ![]() ![]() Over time, I started to build respect for myself. I then started to attract better people and better relationships in my life.īy taking this step to improve myself, I had simultaneously improved the relationship with myself. I realized that although people may be hurt, disgusted, happy, sad, etc., from hearing my truth… At least they’d respect me for being honest. I got so sick of myself, my oversharing, the drama I had created, and my own bullsh*t, that the truth started to become less scary. I basically started to become more worried about the effects of my lies than people just knowing the truth. How I stopped being a compulsive liar is another post for another time. The funny thing is, I lied to keep people around when all it did was turn off the right people, trigger my abandonment issues, and in turn, attract toxic people who exploited the very insecurities that required me to lie on the compulsive level that I was. These identities are birthed by your shame, anger, fear of rejection, fear of judgment, insecurities, and pain. Having one identity is tough enough but when you lie, you have to keep up with multiple ones. If I didn’t feel like my truth was so pathetic, I would never have felt the need to compulsively lie.Īnyone who lies habitually is on a self-made life raft that deflates very quickly until another lie is told. And there is no lonelier place to be than the space of feeling like you have no worth. The root of the weed that lying is, will always be the liar’s belief that they are not enough. They would shame me to others behind my back in the name of expressing concern – instead of having a genuine concern to ask me if I was okay. A lot of it had to do with witnessing the adults lie and being around certain family members who were so insecure themselves, they got satisfaction from being the “Gotcha!” police. And there are a million more reasons why I continued to lie as a teenager and young adult.Ī lot of them had to do with the atmosphere I grew up in. There are a million reasons why I felt like I had no choice but to lie at such a young age. Without lying, everyone would be in on the joke that I embarrassingly tried to be the only one in on… T he extent to which we will justify the wrong of lying in the name of emotional survival is incredible. I didn’t have the awareness that I do now, but I knew the difference between right and wrong. The lying continued well into my teens and early twenties. As I grew up, so did my self-deception, insecurities, and ability to paint an entirely different picture than, unbeknownst to me, most people could see right through. I had well-intended parents who taught me not to lie but in my little mind, there was no other choice. I was never a pathological liar but I definitely used to be a compulsive liar.Įarly in my childhood, lying became a habit that soon became a way of life. Before I get into the signs of dating a pathological liar, I want to give you some background on my own personal experiences with lying. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note that you will still be killed in the next area by the Dragon God and to end up in the Nexus as with the normal progression of the game.

It's not necessary to have three for the same function! However, this odd design choice doesn't harm functionality.įILEminimizer Pictures offers impressive compression of image files, without the inconvenience of having to decompress them for viewing. There is little to criticize with FILEminimizer Pictures, except that the interface has too many buttons that repeat the same function. Results are impressive, so for bulk compression for things like email or saving to a USB for a presentation, FILEminimizer Pictures is really useful. ![]() In our tests of FILEminimizer Pictures, file size was reduced from anywhere between 65% and 80%, which really makes a difference when optimizing in bulk. ![]() High compression gives you reduced quality, but tiny file sizes, whereas low compression keeps quality high while still reducing file size impressively. Before optimization, you should either choose one of three compression settings, or customize your own. The simple interface features a 'to optimize' window, that you can drag and drop any image file into. In FILEminimizer Suite 7 we have added over 50 email policy settings such as a hard-quota and conditional optimizations offering administrators a highly effective way to significantly improve their email infrastructures.That sounds quite unlikely, but surprisingly FILEminimizer Pictures works very well. Five powerful compression settings allow users to choose the level of file optimization they require each time, while all optimization settings can be centrally configured and made invisible to the end user. Descargar file minimizer oficce archive#This reduction can, therefore, make a significant difference to enterprise IT budgets because capacity savings realized on primary storage will reflect on backup, archive and other storage tier requirements.įILEminimizer Suite comes with a multi-lingual client interface and offers integration for Microsoft Outlook 2003 – 2010 and Lotus Notes 6.x or higher. Descargar file minimizer oficce software#The software also is flexible and highly customisable, especially crucial for large deployments as it gives IT administrators an easy and straight-forward way to reduce their primary email storage, which is usually very costly to both purchase and manages. Thanks to the latest enhancements to the software, notably its even smoother integration into Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes Domino environments, balesio FILEminimizer Suite 7.0 is today a true email infrastructure optimization solution which can help flatten email storage growth by up to 75%. Descargar file minimizer oficce pdf#Differently, from products like balesio FILEminimizer Server edition and balesio FMA-4800 Series data reduction appliance that minimize the footprint of unstructured data files stored on servers and shared NAS and SAN drives, FILEminimizer Suite 7.0 enables companies to ensure unstructured files are optimized before they first enter the corporate email network.Īs a result, when a file such as an image or a PDF is shrunk to up to a fourth of its original size, it enters the email data lifecycle as a smaller file, even though its visual quality and functionality remain unaltered, leading to higher email storage utilization and network efficiency from the start. FILEminimizer Suite 7.0 also features compression of PDF files, the most recent addition to balesio’s stable of data reduction technology. With its transparent integration into Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, MS Office, image, and PDF attachments are automatically optimized directly before sending out.įILEminimizer Suite of the native file optimization software allows IT administrators to maximize their companies’ email storage capacity and network bandwidth, directly reducing the total cost associated with email by 40-75% through the automatic compression of attachments on the fly.

For more information or to register, visit /the-big-dig.What are the benefits of using natural gas? #Udig fossil registration# ![]() Natural gas is, first and foremost, a fossil fuel. Natural gas is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel because it burns cleaner As a result, it’s important to compare it to other fossil fuels first. If we burn natural gas under ideal combustion conditions, the light will be blue, and hazardous chemicals will be negligible to non-existent. Natural gas is one of the most easily stored and transported energy sources. It can be carried by tankers or by international pipelines (in LNG form). It is less hazardous and less difficult to store than other fossil fuels. What about renewable energy, though? More efficient storage and transportation compared to renewable energy Natural gas is undeniably one of the best nonrenewable energy sources. ![]() Long-distance transportation is far more efficient than the use of sustainable energy (less network loss). One of the most serious drawbacks of renewable energy is its inability to be efficiently stored. Gas has lesser carbon emissions than other fossil fuels. It is, nevertheless, still a fossil fuel. Except in very rare circumstances, natural gas is not renewable. In either case, it emits more CO2 than renewable energy. This is why it is referred to as a bridging fuel. It bridges the gap between the decommissioning of larger fossil-fuel plants and the widespread use of renewable energy. Natural gas is easy to transport and can be found all over the world. However, at every stage of the supply chain, these processes emit methane, a strong glasshouse gas. Methane has a global warming potential of 28 to 34 times that of carbon dioxide. Because methane leaks are difficult to prevent, natural gas is a dirtier energy source than previously imagined. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel energy source accessible, albeit it is not as pure as solar or wind energy.What are two of natural gas’s advantages? Natural gas’s reputation as a fossil fuel is further enhanced by the fact that it is a glasshouse gas. When burned, natural gas emits roughly a third less carbon dioxide than coal and nearly half as much as oil.According to the Florida Natural Gas Association, each residence that utilises a tankless water heater instead of a heater fueled by another source keeps 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. What exactly is natural gas? What are the benefits? Natural gas produces little to no sulphur, making it more environmentally friendly and efficient than other fuels. Natural gas accounts for over half of our overall output. On land and offshore, we look for it and generate it. Shell is a major natural gas and liquefied natural gas supplier in the world (LNG). What is natural gas and what is it used for? We estimate that it will rise by 40% from 2014 levels by 2030. Natural gas has the lowest carbon content of any hydrocarbon, is odourless, colourless, and non-toxic. It produces heat for cooking and heating, as well as supplying energy to homes and businesses through power plants. It also powers a variety of industrial processes that create materials and items ranging from glass to textiles, and it’s a key component of paints and plastics. Shell’s gas-to-liquids plants convert natural gas into cleaner-burning fuels and other products. We also cool it to -162oC (-260oF), which turns it into a liquid that can be shipped to energy-starved areas all around the world. ![]() For ships, trucks, buses, and trains, we provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a lower-emission fuel. ![]() |
