Title: Knowledge Breaks Down Barriers Created By Ignorance
Artist: Raul Gonzalez
Painted: July - August 2010
Locale: Garfield, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Narrative: Los Angeles-born artist Raul Gonzalez, along with youth from Phoenix chapters of Youth in Action and Chicanos Por La Causa, created this 6-foot-tall by 95-foot-wide mural. The design depicts many heroes of the Latino(a) experience, as well as family, culture, justice, and education imagery. The piece is not signed. As the artist puts it, "If we put our name on it, then it becomes the artist's piece and not the community's art. We want people to focus on the message and not the artist." This narrative was pulled together from various articles written about the mural, including the Phoenix New Times.
Folklore has it that the moon influences people's sleep. This theory probably stemmed from the knowledge that the moon influences water and the human body is made up of approximately 50-75% water. Still, there has been no study to confirm the folklore - until now.
According to The Independent, the international research community has been divided on this question for a long time, but now a highly controlled study has found evidence to support the ancient theory that indeed moon activity affects sleeping patterns among humans.
The study determining whether the Super Moon 2014 summer will affect us humans was led by Michael Smith at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. According to the study, participants wake up more and sleep approximately 25 minutes less during full moon than at times with other moon phases.
Smith said, 'The rooms in our sleep laboratories do not have any windows. So the effect we found cannot be attributable to increased nocturnal light during a full moon.'
Astrologically speaking, a Supermoon is an intensified New Moon or Full Moon. With a New Moon you often focus on personal beginnings, however when a Supermoon is involved those new beginnings will take on an even greater momentous tone. The same applies to a Full Moon. Crescendos and culminations of events will seem even more dramatic and climactic.
The Moon is also associated with emotions and our feminine sides. When a Supermoon is involved expect to be even more emotional than usual. Tears and laughter will come more easily, moods will suffer extreme swings and there will be no shortage of drama—both good and bad.
The Moon’s effects will also cast its light on women in particular. Mothers, daughter, sisters and friends may be noticeably affected by the intensified energies. Husbands, fathers and boyfriends may be dismayed or exasperated by the behavior of females during these transits.Emotional storms will come and go.
These are opportunities for people to learn how to deal with feelings while developing patience and understanding. It is also a chance to grow closer. Not all emotions will be negative and floods of love and happiness can wash over us too.

Fresh Mushrooms: Kulat Saui
Mushrooms can be a wonderful addition to many home-cooked dishes. Throughout my life, I have collected mushrooms in many countries. Guided at first by Grandma’s knowledge it became a passion difficult to subdue. Collecting mushrooms can be dangerous and one should always rely on the wisdom and experience of local people.
The most appreciated species of mushroom in this part of Sarawak (Borneo, Malaysia) is called Kulat Saui. It is a species associated with palm trees, and grows preferentially on decomposing oil palm fruit. It requires a lot of water, and grows on fresh palm fruit baskets only (black clusters are old and unproductive, light brown ones are productive). Under optimum conditions (water and heat) mushroom grow in this habitat for perhaps three weeks. The mushroom is highly prized (RM2 or 0.5 USD), for a handful only, and is regularly harvested by the local Iban. As many other mushrooms the Kulat Saui grows very fast, reaching full size in less than two days.
The obvious place to look for Kulat Saui is oil palm plantations. When we entered a large oil palm plantation on a weekend in January, it had been raining for several days. Creeks were full with water to the top. Discarded oil palm fruit gaskets lay soaked in the shade of the palm trees. In brief, conditions were ideal, and right from the begin I found a ‘nest’ of mushrooms, exceeding one pound. We continued to scavenge the forest under the rain, and finished with about four pound. It was our lucky day.
Caution
Caution 1: Only collect mushrooms you know
Caution 2: Sometimes the underbrush gets sprayed with toxic chemicals. Watch for signs that mention spraying operations; ask locals or the plantation management.
How to cook Kulat Saui mushrooms
There are many local recipes. I love mushrooms oil-fried.
Wash the mushrooms carefully and thoroughly. For a pound of mushrooms, cut some 100 g of garlic.
Use a large cooking pan, and heat olive oil until it starts boiling. Add the garlic, and fry it until light brown. Add gradually the mushroom. Keep frying until the water from the mushroom has evaporated. Add a little salt, marmite or Rosmarin for seasoning.
Ready! Bon appetit.

Even though I read a lot (and forget most of the details). Before retiring in 2005 my job as a librarian was to catalog books and serials in a big academic library (FSU). Sometimes I would say that the flood of new and rehashed knowledge we handled kept reminding me of how much more ignorant I and every other individual was becoming, compared to the growing total of knowledge.

Ahmed Abiding
Challenging the fast-fashion industry
As a designer and owner of elkarti, a line of handmade luxury bags, Ahmed Abidine has two goals. He wants to make beautiful, useful accessories; and he wants to empower traditional Moroccan artists to become successful entrepreneurs.
The result is a production partnership with Morocco's Deaf Artisan Group of Marrakech, an organization that offers deaf people training and education to get them out of poverty and homelessness.
Ahmed describes his approach to business as, "following what really inspires me, and using it for the benefit of others. I love what I'm doing."
A native of Morocco, Ahmed developed a deep appreciation for fashion and fine craftsmanship while watching his grandfather make hand-crafted leather sandals and his mother design traditional Moroccan dresses. This artisan upbringing, combined with a flair for entrepreneurship, led Ahmed to study at Portland State University's School of Business, where he designed a sustainable business model for elkarti with the help of PSU's Social Innovation Incubator program.
"I wanted to understand sustainability and how to implement it in business. PSU taught me how to look at all the factors," says Ahmed. "Portland State gave me the visibility, the support and the confidence I needed to follow my dreams and make the world a little better. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without PSU."

aroundperranuthnoe.blogspot.com St. Martin was above fourscore years old, when God was pleased to put a happy end to his labours. Long before his departure he had knowledge of his approaching death, which he clearly foretold to his disciples. Being informed that a scandalous difference had arisen amongst the clergy at Cande, a parish at the extremity of his diocess, at the confluence of the Loire and the Vienne in Touraine, upon the borders of Poitou and Anjou, he went thither to compose the disturbance, attended as usual by a great number of his disciples. Having remained there some time, and settled all things to his satisfaction, he was preparing for his return, when he was seized with his last sickness, and found, on a sudden, his strength fail him. As soon as he was taken ill, he called his religious brethren about him, and told them that the time of his departure was come. At this news they all with tears and with one voice said to him: “Father, why do you forsake us? or to whom do you recommend us? The ravening wolves will fall upon your flock. We know you desire to be with Jesus Christ; but your reward is secure; nor will be a whit diminished by being deferred a while. Have pity on our necessity, who are left amidst great dangers.” The servant of God, moved with their tears, wept also, and prayed thus: “Lord, if I am still necessary to thy people, I refuse no labour. Thy holy will be done.” As if he had said, says St. Sulpicius: My soul is uncouquered by old age, weakness, or fatigues, and ready to sustain new conflicts, if you call me to them. But if you spare my age, and take me to yourself, be the guardian and protector of those souls for which I fear. By these words he showed that he knew not which was clearest to him, either to remain on earth for Christ, or to leave the earth for Christ; and has taught us in prayer for temporal things, to submit ourselves with perfect resignation and indifference to the divine will, begging that God may direct all things in us and through us to his greater glory. The saint had a fever which lasted some days: notwithstanding which he spent the night in prayer, lying on ashes and hair cloth. His disciples earnestly entreated him that he would suffer them at least to put a little straw under him. But he replied: “It becomes not a Christian to die otherwise than upon ashes. I shall have sinned if I leave you any other example.” He continually held up his eyes and hands to heaven, never interrupting his prayer, so that the priests that stood about him, begged he would turn himself on one side, to afford his body a little rest. He answered: “Allow me, my brethren, to look rather towards heaven than upon the earth, that my soul may be directed to take its flight to the Lord to whom it is going.” Afterwards, seeing the devil near him, he said: “What dost thou here, cruel beast? Thou shall find nothing in me. Abraham’s bosom is open to receive me.” Saying these words, he expired on the 8th of November, probably in 397. 12 He died seven months after St. Ambrose, as St. Gregory of Tours assures us. They who were present wondered at the brightness of his face and whole body, which seemed to them as if it were already glorified. 13 The inhabitants of Poitiers warmly disputed the possession of his body; but the people of Tours carried it off. The whole city came out to meet it: all the country people and many from neighbouring cities flocked thither, with about two thousand monks, and a great company of virgins. They all melted into tears, though no one doubted of his glory. He was carried with hymns to the place of his interment, which was in a little grove at some distance from the monastery, where certain monks lived in separate cells. The place was then five hundred and thirty paces from the city, as St. Gregory of Tours informs us, though at present it is part of it, and the walls were carried so far as to encompass it in the beginning of the inroads of the Normans. St. Brice, St. Martin’s successor, built a chapel over his tomb, and St. Perpetuus, the sixth bishop of Tours, about the year 470, founded upon that spot the great church and monastery, the saint’s sumptuous tomb being placed behind the high altar. 14 These monks secularized themselves in the seventh century. Towards the close of the eighth, Pope Adrian I. at the request of Charlemagne, placed there regular canons, and Alcuin was shortly after appointed their abbot. 15 These canons were secularized in the reign of Charles the Bald, in 849, and have continued so ever since. The king of France, from the time of Hugh Capet, is the abbot and first canon; besides eleven dignitaries, and fifty-one canons, &c. here are ecclesiastical honorary canons, namely, the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishops of Mentz, Cologne, Compostella, Sens, and Bourges; the bishops of Liege, Strasbourg, Angers, Auxerre, and Quebec; and the abbots of Marmoutier, and St. Julian’s at Tours; and lay honorary canons, the dauphin, the dukes of Burgundy, Anjou, Brittany, Bourbon, Vendome, and Nevers: the counts of Flanders, Dunois, and Angouleme: also the earl of Douglas, in Scotland, before that family had changed its religion. The extraordinary devotion which the French and all Europe have expressed to St. Martin, and to this church for the sake of his precious tomb, would furnish matter for a large history. The Huguenots rifled the shrine and scattered the relics of this saint. But this church recovered a bone of his arm, and part of his skull. 16 Before this dispersion, certain churches had obtained small portions which they still preserve. The priory of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields at Paris is possessed of a part: two of his teeth are shown in St. Martin’s, at Tournay. The cathedral at Tours was built by St. Martin in honour of St. Maurice: but since the year 1096, bears the title of St. Gatian’s. Its chapter is one of the most illustrious in France; the bishop of Tours was suffragan to Rouen till he was made a metropolitan. A vial of sacred oil is kept at St. Martin’s; with which Henry IV. was anointed king instead of that from Rheims. St. Sulpicius relates that St. Martin sometimes cured distempers by oil which he had blessed, 17 and that this oil was sometimes miraculously increased. 18
A boat was passing the lock on the canal and the grandpa gave a lesson on it to his grandson and somehow to me, too. I am not sure what a cill market is, but it was fascinating to watch how the lock works.
People live on the boats but they have to move the boat every second week to the new position so the locks are very busy at the weekends.
