tive, the views of Andrew Cohen, to and of which I have made several references in cyberspace, in the context of “DON’T KILL THE MESSENGER” because IT IS in “deed” the case that IF you KILL THE MESSENGER you then also KILL THE MESSAGE • and my message from the other nation across the pond of the "two nations divided by one language" as spoken of in friendship by Winston Churchill, IS that the REAL problem with the vast majority of the evolution of consciousness message material, generated by the USA, is accompanied by that Try now for free strap-line, when in REALITY one has to invariably commit to paying upfront for the message, in juxtaposition to the offering of Gautam Buddha's message to Mahakashyapa, in the form of a lotus flower • because as OSHO once said ... "THE KEY to all teachings, not only for a Buddha but for ALL MASTERS • Jesus, Mahavira, Lao Tzu • cannot be given through verbal communication. THE KEY cannot be delivered through the mind; nothing can be said about it. The more you say the more difficult it [BE]comes to deliver, because you and the buddha live in different dimensions • NOT ONLY different but diametrically opposite • that whatever a buddha says WILL [BE] MISUNDERSTOOD".

ore proceeding, the UK Prime Minister was justifiably anxious to discover what reciprocal arrangements there would be for the 1.8 million or so Britons living in the EU. However, she recognised this was a crucial matter that could be resolved before the process to leave the EU is triggered and the negotiations begin. Now we know that it is not the UK standing in the way of a deal on this issue BUT a handful of EU countries led by Germany. Mrs May had been hoping to announce an agreement in Brussels next month but this appears to have been stymied by Angela Merkel. This is an ominous development that does not bode well for the talks to come.
Nor does the apparent handing over of these negotiations in their entirety to the European Commission. Mrs Merkel says the 27 other EU nations will take a common position and it will be for officials in Brussels to do the deal. This is clearly designed to forestall attempts by the UK to divide the bloc. However, the danger is that it will institutionalise the process in a way that will make flexibility and compromise hard to achieve. The UK had been hoping to see a “down to earth” pragmatic approach of the sort championed by the Polish prime minister on her visit to London this week. That is unlikely from the Commission for whom preserving the integrity of the EU project is all that matters. A discrete deal on reciprocal worker rights would show goodwill on all sides, and every effort must be made to keep it alive.

d, rather than utopian dreamings of what might be possible” Krznaric considers empathy - the ability to truly put oneself in the shoes of another - to be a vital but neglected human capacity. “I absolutely believe that empathy can be taught,” he says, citing the success of a programme for Canadian schoolchildren called ‘Roots of Empathy’. He would like to see something similar in British schools. He writes a blog about empathy called ‘Outrospection' and plans a book on the subject, and even a museum.by Jenny Lunnon - Interview with Roman Krznaric Oxford Times December 29th 2011
... as judged I would affirm in concert with THE MIND OF AN EMPATH !!!I would suppose therefore that my subsequent comment on Roman Krznaric's blog, entitled Why creativity is not about originality - just about summarises my own experience of LIFE ...
"Your reference to Michelangelo is well chosen, particularly in the context of his fame at the time for the outward appearance of the human body, which has coloured the majority of our status-quo collective mindset in this new millennium; juxtaposed to 'the bastard ' Leonardo, whose truly creative and brilliant 3D like drawings, of the internal workings of the human body, are still used today, because of their 'realism', during the instruction of surgeons in where and how to cut." SO as Leonardo well understood..."ALL IS IN NATURE and WE ARE A CIRCUMSTANCE of NATURE" ...feeling THE TRUTH THROUGH his OWN personal UNIVERSAL PERSPECTIVE, I would suggest.

ctually began with a configuration change that affected the entire internal backbone. That cascaded into Facebook and other properties disappearing and staff internal to Facebook having difficulty getting service going again.
Facebook posted a further blog post with a lot more detail about what happened. You can read that post for the inside view and this post for the outside view.
At the end of the day THE [DATA] TRAFFIC between all these computing facilities is managed by routers, which figure out where to send all the incoming and outgoing data. And in the extensive day-to-day work of maintaining this infrastructure, Facebook's META engineers often need to take part of the backbone offline for maintenance — perhaps repairing a fibre line, adding more capacity, or updating the software on the router itself.
This was the source of yesterday’s outage. During one of these routine maintenance jobs, a command was issued with the intention to assess the availability of global backbone capacity, which unintentionally took down all the connections in our backbone network, effectively disconnecting Facebook data centers globally. Their systems are designed to audit commands like these to prevent mistakes like this, but a bug in that audit tool prevented it from properly stopping the command.
This change caused a complete disconnection of Facebook's server connections between their data centres and the internet. And that total loss of connection caused a second issue that made things even worse.
