Bringing inspiration and innovation to value performance wake boating, the Mojo 2.5 wide-bow boat is an experience in wakes, handling, ride, reliability and fun. This 22-foot 6-inch wake rider's dream rolls off the production line with a boat-load of standard features and more wake sport performance than its price class can handle. A definite departure from the “me too” pickle fork trend in wakeboard boat design, this new Moomba gives value performance buyers a safe, deep, wide bow in addition to extreme functionality. Simply comfortable interior design compliments the functional nature of the boat with new snap-out carpet covering an, easily maintained, all fiberglass floor. This unique boat design is pushed by the torquey Indmar Assault™ 330 horse power engine, perfect to pull all levels of riders. Beginner to pro will flip for the Moomba Multisport Wakeplate, Digital Pro speed control, the available 1250-pound Gravity III ballast system and the new optional Surf+ wakesurfing platform. Visit your local Moomba Dealer and put some more pop in your lake life with the Mojo 2.5.
Cordobeses sense of values: Iggy (and I honestly believe this refers to Iggy Pop) is God.
Cordoba. What's in a name? Human settlement here seems to have always had a variation of this name.
The first recorded existence of a settlement here (though Neanderthal existence was confirmed in the area between 42,000-35,000 B.C. and preurban settlements dating from the 8th century B.C.)...was with the Carthaginians.
General Hamilcar Barca (Hannibal's dad) renamed it Kartuba (previously called Kart-Juba, which meant "City of Juba.").
The Romans, after winning the Punic Wars, took over Iberia (in 206 B.C.) and dramatically changed the name of this town to...Corduba. With the Romans, you can start to find plenty of things in town. The Roman Bridge still stands. The Roman city wall still stands (base is Roman and changes with subsequent civilizations as you go up...Moorish, Christian.) If you tour the Alcazar, you'll see a handful of nice Roman mosaics on display. Then there's the Roman temple and ruins there.
Well, those Romans didn't last forever. After about 5-6 centuries of glory, they faded into history books, being overtaken in bits and pieces by northern European groups. For Cordoba's purposes...the Visigoths. The Visigoths were Christians, not some backwoods group. They built a church (St. Vincent Church) on the site of what is now the Mezquita-Cathedral in the heart of Cordoba. The Visigoths, though, weren't as strong as the Romans and squabbled a bit. Civil wars made their presence here fairly short-lived (just over 100 years) until the next dominant folks came calling.
The Moors decided to pay the town a visit in 711. They liked it so much that they took it over by force and stayed...for about 500 years.
At first, it was a subordinate town to the Damascus Caliphate. And the Moors, too, changed the name of the city to something really different: Qurtuba.
Apparently tiring of reporting to Damascus, the locals decided they'd just run things themselves beginning in 766 A.D. by naming this the Umayyad Emirate (eventually Caliphate).
Things went well for the Moors in Spain (which is why they ran the Good Ship Iberia for 7 centuries or so.) While Christian Europe tends to call these the Dark Ages, they were anything but here in Iberia.
By global standards of those times, Cordoba was massive. Its population ~800 A.D. was about 200,000. That was 0.1% of the global population. (That would put it on par with a city of 7 million today, which is...Hong Kong or Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. Basically...massive.) At the height of the Caliphate (~1,000 A.D.), the population had doubled to about 400,000.
And why did so many folks live in good ol' Cordoba? Well, during the 10th-11th centuries, Cordoba was one of the greatest cultural, political, financial, and economic centers of the world.
Christians and Jews coexisted fairly well with the Moors (well...it's all relative, I suppose). Take the Jewish quarter, for example.
The Jews all lived on three fairly small narrow streets near the Great Mosque (which was built on the ruins of St. Vincent Church during this time). They were allowed to go out and work in town by day, but they had a curfew and were all locked in the neighborhood by night. Not sure how I'd like that.
One of the most important Jewish scholars, Maimonides, was born here in Cordoba (in the 1130s; 1135, or 1138). This was the end of what folks would call the Golden Age of Judaism on the peninsula. (Bad things -- or worse things -- were in store for the Sefarad.)
Maimonides bolted at a fairly young age and spent the majority of his life in northern Africa (Morocco, Egypt.) He was a rabbinical scholar, astronomer, physician, and philosopher. He was basically a Renaissance Man...before the Renaissance.
Like the end of the Golden Age of Jewish culture in the Iberian Peninsula, the Moors reign was slowly being chipped away by Christian Spain. (Almost immediately upon taking over 90% of the Iberian Peninsula in 711, the Christians fought back, little by little, to reconquer their land.)
With the death of al-Mansur, after an expedition up north to La Rioja, in 1002, the caliphate slowly started to disintegrate. It had everything except a strong ruler. Even with that, it took the Christians quite some time to reconquer Cordoba.
King Fernando III of Spain took the city after a few months' siege in 1236. Cordoba lost its position as the most important city -- Sevilla was the new capital of Andalusia -- and Cordoba's position in the world faded during the Renaissance. (I guess you could say Cordoba had an anti-Renaissance?) The population dwindled to 20,000 in the 17th century.
What you have in town now are the remains of history, surrounded by generic modernity. (Directly across the way from the Door of Forgiveness to the Great Mosque? Burger King. How's that for progress?)
I'll write specific pieces on the Mezquita (which demands its own space) and also on the flowered patios for which modern Cordoba is famous in other posts.

Apparently, someone at Costa coffee in Southampton decided that to show the luxury of the brand, they'd print receipts on huge bits of useless paper and have small chocolate brownies.
Oh yes, I'm impressed by wastes of paper and stingy portions.
(The brownie was delicious, and the coffee strong - btw)
Just look at my life! Should I be feeling gratitude, or have I been ripped off? Is the glass half-empty or half-full?I can complain that rose bushes have thorns, or I can be grateful that some thorn bushes have roses.
At the purely intellectual or “scientific” level, these two attitudes are equivalent. But in real life, it makes a huge difference which we choose.
When the image we hold of ourselves in relationship to the world portrays us as a victim, the resulting sense of helplessness is transmitted through the entire system. The physical consequence of this can be failure or breakdown in an organ or organ system.
Whether we feel gratitude and fullness, or loss, deprivation, and resentment, a corresponding internal chemical state is created. This state, in turn, generates characteristic behaviors – health or disease, empowerment/powerlessness, fulfillment/dissatisfaction, success/failure.
In my medical practice (mind/body medicine), the importance of gratitude is strikingly clear in a psychophysiological way – grateful people heal faster; they are able to eliminate harmful behaviors from their lives with greater ease; they are happier.
The way in which we see the world shapes our responses to the challenges life presents us. A sense of gratitude empowers us to choose wisely … how we feel, what we say, what we believe, what we do.
How preposterous for us, who are richer and consume 10 times the resources than 95 percent of the world’s people, who routinely live 25 years longer than our great-grandparents, who bask in personal freedom and potential, to focus on the “half-empty.”
Gratitude leads us to see what is available, what can develop. After all, there is nothing to work with in the empty part of the glass. Without the attitude of gratitude, there results a feeling of deprivation.
Smokers, drinkers, and drug abusers – whose quality of life continuously deteriorates – are unable to enact the apparently simple choices that they say and truly believe they want to make. Such people are in an involuntary state of denial – a denial of the richness that is within them.
Consciousness of the fullness of Self would make their compulsions pale by comparison. Without the sense of who you really are, it is difficult to discern the true worth of anything that takes place in your life except at the immediate and transitory level of instant gratification.
When we feel grateful, we interact with other people from our fullness; they feel appreciated and are attracted by our energy. Resentment, bitterness, and victimhood tends to repel people, and we experience less support from others.
Similarly, when our lack of gratitude leads to helplessness and disease, we feel “ripped off’ that our health is going downhill while others are out enjoying themselves. In the field of psychoneuroimmunology, we are now certain that emotions, beliefs, and interpretations (our map of the world) have a profound effect upon the body’s functioning, including whether we become ill or resist disease.
No matter what the challenges or crises in our life may be, if we feel helpless about them, we are much more likely to become ill. The state of mind that we call gratitude is not inborn, in my opinion, but something we learn.
Gratitude has to do with feeling full, complete, adequate – we have everything we need and deserve; we approach the world with a sense of value. It is the experience of the range of fulfillment that is possible that leads to a capacity for gratitude. Without gratitude, the tendency is to feel incomplete, cheated, deficient – in a word, helpless.
If you were not fortunate enough to have been taught the attitude of gratitude as a child, you may, from time to time, feel yourself slipping into despair, feeling resentful and unblessed. That still happens to me sometimes and, when it does, I simply remember my reasons for doing the things I do, my personal life mission and vision, with gratitude. It may take a little while, but with inner focus and imagery, my attitude always comes around. After all, just like you, “I am what I think.”

NHS Values Summits bring together a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster greater understanding of how peoples' differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
Held on a quarterly basis across the country, each summit promotes values-based ways of working and explores a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights.
The theme of this NHS Values Summit, held on 18th September 2013, was entitled 'Making it happen in Greater Manchester: Integrated care across organisations'. Patient-centred care that is well co-ordinated across care settings and over time is better for all but can particularly benefit patients with long-term, chronic or complex conditions and those who may find it difficult to 'navigate' the health care system.
The Greater Manchester summit was held during National Recovery Month. This provided an opportunity for people to share their recovery stories with others and celebrate their successes, promoting the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for those experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues.
As a celebration of shared learning and partnership working, NHS England is pleased to welcome patients and the public, representatives from health and social care, and stakeholders from the private and voluntary/community sectors to these important events.

The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.

"No worries," describes simplicity, performance, reliability and value. And there is no Moomba boat model that embodies this mantra more perfectly than the #1 selling Mobius 21 LSV. At 21 feet 6 inches, the LSV is literally the perfect size. Big enough to fit all your friends, but small enough to garage, trailer and handle with ease; the LSV is the have your cake and eat it to star of the Moomba line. We’ve taken the guess work out of owning a high-performing water sports boat like the Mobius 21 LSV. This wakeboard boat is everything you need to and nothing you don't. The quickly collapsible Oz Tower joins Digital Cruise, Gravity ballast, the Multisport Wakeplate, a Sony Sound System, a BoatMate Trailer and the new catalyzed Indmar Assault 330 horse power engine. If you are looking to up your game, opt for the increased displacement and customization of the 1200-pound Gravity III Ballast System. You can even design the look of your LSV with graphics options that reflect your unique personality. The Mobius 21 LSV is designed to maximize your time and fun on the water without worry. Moomba Boats is brand you.
