St. Paul's Cathedral is located at 472 Richmond Street, on the east side of Richmond Street between Queens Avenue to the south and Dufferin Avenue to the north, in the downtown area of the City of London. The two storey red brick building and tower were constructed in 1846. A painted red brick addition was constructed between 1894 and 1895. There are twelve grave markers and a cast iron fence also visible.
The property was designated, by the City of London, in 2005, for its historical and contextual value or interest, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law L.S.P. – 3373-297).
The open space surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral accentuates the Cathedral from the surrounding buildings. The grounds of the Cathedral once served as a graveyard for the village of London. Most of the interred and their grave markers were transferred to Woodland Cemetery, which is owned and operated by the Cathedral. Twelve marked graves remain on the Cathedral grounds as reminders of London's early pioneer days.
The Cathedral is enclosed with a unique cast-iron beaver-motif fence, reflecting the Diocese of Huron's coat of arms. The original portion was purchased by the Cathedral in 1887 to demarcate the property along Richmond Street. In 1974, additional fencing was added, to surround the entire property.
St. Paul's Cathedral, the oldest church in London and the seat of the Diocese of Huron, opened for worship on Ash Wednesday in 1846. The first frame church was destroyed by fire on Ash Wednesday in 1844. Between 1894 and 1895, the Cathedral was enlarged with a small tower and included Cronyn Hall which was dedicated to the first Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, Reverend Benjamin Cronyn. Cronyn Hall was built to house the church and synod offices, and to provide a hall for meetings. The Cathedral has been used continuously as a place of worship for over 150 years and is also notable for having housed the first election of an Anglican Bishop in Canada, in 1857.
The Cathedral is one of the most magnificent churches in the City of London and its many notable architects, builders and contributors enhance this status. The nave and tower, built of yellow brick, later painted red, to match the Cronyn Hall addition, are fine examples of the English Gothic Revival style and they were designed by William Thomas. Thomas was a distinguished architect from Toronto who designed many exemplary buildings, including St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and Brock's Monument at Queenston. Mr. Spier and Mr. Rohns of Detroit, Michigan, designed the later chancel and transepts under the supervision of local architect, John. M. Moore. The pinnacles on many parts of the building and the main doorways feature gargoyles carved from stone which was quarried at Portland Bill. This was the same stone that Sir Christopher Wren used to build St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England. Also of note are the wide transepts and spacious chancel.
The dominating main tower features the original six peal of bells cast by Mears Company of London, England in 1851. The bells were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean and then conveyed from Port Stanley to London by oxcart. In 1901, the clock and chime of 10 bells, made by Gillett and Johnston of England, were donated by the Meredith family.
The stained glass windows of St. Paul's Cathedral are of finest quality and design and are one of the most outstanding aspects of the Cathedral. The windows of most significance were created by the Louis Tiffany Company in the late 19th century, including the two windows next to and opposite the Nativity window. During the 150th anniversary of the Cathedral, four new stained glass windows, designed and made by Christopher Wallis, were placed in the remaining locations in the nave. Three of the windows depict the life of St. Paul and the fourth is a Nativity window.

I was tasked with designing icons to graphically convey our core values. They will be used as graphics during appropriate sermons, in training publications (ie - small group leaders' training manuals), etc. Top to bottom, left to right they are...
My biggest concern is that the contrast isn't significant enough (especially if they're sized down for printing purposes). Thoughts? This is still in the prelim stage, so any feedback is welcome.
You should be able to see diagonal stripes in the thin dark bar, second row from the bottom. If you can't, you might want to raise your brightness.
Note: it seems that Firefox Mac desaturates images and leaves a bit of pink in the whites. I haven't tested PC browsers, but I have discovered that Safari Mac has richer, more accurate color when compared locally to photoshop display.

My Mum noticed this. Does the bleach in question have 'wow value'? Is it supposed to have an exclamation - "Wow! [now that's] Value"?
It's an average-sized bottle of bleach. Nothing spectacular.

Mostly a detailed critique of the role post modern theory played in creating the onset of the post truth landscape and how the post modern insistence on an aperspective world groomed the progressive Left to focus on identity politics. The resulting polarization of the nation is where we find ourselves now. That identity politics did this is not a new revelation, but the critique of post modernism was worth the journey for me.
Post modernist claim that all perspectives have equal value so there is no one truth. What’s true for me is true for me and what’s true for you is true for you. But no universal truth; no truth for us. Any attempt to force one truth is an act of oppression. This led to a backward slide into what basically came to be an ethnocentric perspective via identity politics; i.e. if you are not one of a designated special interest political identity then you have no real voice. Thus who controls the narrative is who determines what truth is heard becomes the guiding principle of post modernism. The author calls this an aperspectival madness.
The internet caters to dominant search words and phrases. If you google “Are all women…” it will offer you “Are all women evil?” as the most popular search. Same for if you google “Are Muslims…”. This has since been corrected. But algorithms continue to create information silos. And because people are already inclined to certain beliefs they easily fall into a rabbit hole of information that caters to those beliefs. (Especially young white men who feel they can do no right as they step into the entitlement they have been groomed for by history and the systemic racism built into social premises.)
For purposes of describing the terrain of American society the author breaks down the developmental stages of society into the following:
1) red—egoistic, self-serving, narcissistic
2) amber—ethnocentric, xenophobic, myth-religious based
3) orange—world centric, meritocratic, science based, emerged during the Enlightenment
4) green—pluralistic, equality (anti-oppression), environmental, post modernism, emerged in the ‘60s
5) turquoise—integrated, systemic. Integral meta theory, engages and embraces all previous stages.
This final integrated stage is the perspective from which the author, Ken Wilbur speaks. Integral theory is his personal innovation as a transpersonal psychologist. And he claims this stage has a 5% foothold at the time of writing.
The author reasons that as artificial Intelligence takes over more jobs from people there are fewer jobs for the general population. And because post modern progressives declare that everyone is equal resentment increases in this no jobs situation. (When progressives were informed by Marxism and it was all about the evils of capitalism this would have been pointed out.) Post modern progressives continue to fight oppression everywhere calling out those who do not use correct language or behavior. They rightly earn the moniker “politically correct”. This corrective approach becomes a kind of fundamentalist oppression devoid of perspective and humor. A marker for the author that the situation has reached the point of contentious divisive madness is that comedians refuse to play college campuses. If there is no outlet for people to tease you just a little bit, then the terrain becomes purely hostile.
As one who was raised in diplomatic circles this mutual hostility is what pains me most. Mistakes in protocol i.e. language and behavior are bound to be made by one party or another during the course of human interaction between diverse peoples. Learning and forgiveness is the beauty of such mixing. But if mistakes are met with hostility and overcorrecting do you really think you’ll make friends that way? I too may well refuse to speak at a college campus again or any group that professes to be all inclusive of diversity because likely they are not. Their anti-privilege bias and prejudice simmers just below the surface ready to jump out like the student led movement of the Red Guard that put teachers in prison for some bourgeoise crime.
The author argues that by declaring that every perspective is equal, post modern progressives have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. By rejecting dominator hierarchies (since all hierarchies result in an oppressor class), it also rejected the concept of developmental stages in human society i.e. a growth hierarchy which gives us the concept of development from egocentric to ethnocentric to world centric to fully integrated of all the stages. Rather than accept this developmental hierarchy as one would the developmental stages of a child some of whom become stuck at certain stages, post modern progressives treat those stuck in the ethnocentric stage as choosing to be in that perspective. This creates a situation where the more developed world centric view looks down upon the ethnocentric view in a hostile and corrective way. And by doing so it negates any ability to lead society forward and has come to a toxic stalemate mired in narcissism.
As has been seen this attitude just made those who were the target of the hostility defensive and hostile in return resulting in half the population hating the other half and their voting for Trump. The same could be said of the anti-immigrant sentiment that brought us Brexit. The language used by these leaders alone attracted the anti-political correctness crowd as if nectar was being fed to its ethnocentric soul. Such racist xenophobic messages attract those inclined especially in times of economic hardships. The author’s analysis of how the emerging green stage of development influenced and divided traditional politics leading to a broken progressive leading edge is convincing and worthy of consideration. His conclusion is that, among such a diverse group of voters, the most unifying factor of the Trump voters was their anti-political correctness.
Once Trump was in office he took the aperspective no-truth concept to the height of narcissism that such a perspective will lead to. No one in academia will ever claim that there is no truth again. The whole concept was silenced in one fell blow with all those who put forth this concept now backpedaling with simpering language about how some truths in the context of certain times in history are indeed actual truths. (This after 40 years of being in the grip of no truth logic). I enjoyed this part.
The author points out that it is the responsibility of the more evolved progressive camp to reach out to the ethnocentric camp with love and integrate their voices into the evolving conversation. I would agree with him here as it pains me to watch how progressives make fun of and deride those who take the hater stance against gays, gay marriage, women, Muslims, et al. The authors prediction that progressives will either double down on this derision or pause and reflect is playing out now.
This book was published in 2017 as an analysis of the socio-political terrain in the aftermath of a Trump win. It is admittedly a rant that grew from an essay. The author's analysis seems to skip over the more ingrained systemic influences of capitalism that has so damaged society, but its explanation of the socio-psychological aspect of society is a compelling one.
As the remaining Trump base becomes even more “deplorable” in this time of the Corona virus it has prompted even more hatred and derision from the progressive Left so it is near impossible now to swallow his advise that the broken green leading edge must stop this in order to heal. I would argue that its failure to do so before the outbreak and the resulting response from the Trump base is indicative of how little we have progressed in this direction.
The only remaining hope that this author has to offer is that the turquoise integral meta theory population with its 5% toehold will help society leapfrog the broken leading edge though he counsels that this brokenness must be healed to repair society as a whole. This is worth looking into. I see it in the baby steps of love memes being offered and the new perspective that we are now all under the same biological paradigm. Otherwise the polarization we are seeing renders democracy toxic and may result in violent street fighting between factions. A dangerous time for America.

The search for new ideals characterizes our generation. But which values and virtues are still relevant today - religious, moral, spiritual or personal?
The 2013 Trend Diary presents design projects exploring the theme of values.
Why a Trend Diary dealing with values? We feel that in the course of the change instigated by the digital revolution, our view of a clearly defined, shared value system is increasingly fading. While design for "material values" is loud and ever-present, ethical values that paint a picture of belief, family, virtues and moral ideals are drowning in the modern media excess.
What´s in the trend diary? The Trend Diary, in the format of a desk calendar, assembles inspiring works of design by 53 designers of different cultures. Design that conveys values in message and function, provides guidance or aids us in our quest for meaning. Design that shows us that values are the most valuable thing we possess.
In keeping with the trend set by previous award-winning issues from the EIGA Trend Diary series, the publication showcases a special focus on experimental typography and groundbreaking graphic design. The designers at EIGA have developed a unique typeface whose characters are composed of continually rearranging elements – just like society’s understanding of shared values. Furthermore each calendar week features an individual composition corresponding to the designer’s contributions while still following a consistent overall design principle.
The cultural background. Design has been a guide and bearer of standards and values in all cultures from time immemorial. This is evidenced by the codex the Mesopotamians hewed in stone in the 18th century BC, by the awe-inspiring illumination of European Bible manuscripts in the Middle Ages or by the Bauhaus school's function-driven approach to design. Utilizing any given era's media toolbox, design brings the ideals and moral values of society to the surface.
Fact and figures. The Trend Diary was initiated by EIGA, a Hamburg-based design office, and published by NBVD. The production enjoys support from well-known partners in fine paper, printing and print finishing. 53 designers are given a special platform in the form of a weekly motive in the exclusive design calendar.

Libreta Ration Booklet
For the average Cuban however, it’s a constant part of daily life in 2017. The libreta ration booklet was introduced in 1962 by Che Guevara and entitles citizens to a basic ration of groceries such as rice, eggs and beans, which they can buy at their local bodega at 12% of the market value, amounting to less than $2 a month for their monthly rations. Doesn’t sound so bad right? Well sure, if you’re okay with an allowance of say– 5 eggs a month.Here’s how it works. Each household ration book has a number, a list of family members and their dates of birth. What you’re allowed to buy depends on your age and your gender. For example, milk, can only be bought for children below the age of seven or for pregnant women and the elderly. (So your morning bowl of cornflakes is definitely out). The bodega clerk also keeps a book containing the information on each local household and the list of products he is allowed to sell them. A bodega clerk will know if there is or isn’t a child under seven or an elderly member of the household who needs milk. There are penalties for families not reporting any changes in the composition of the household, but you do get extra rations if it’s your birthday or your weddind day. Cakes, rum and beer.Any Westerner walking into a state-controlled bodega would find the shelves strangely empty compared to what we’re used to. Distribution and product delivery is often unreliable in a country that still needs to import about 80% of its food. Some months there can be a shortage of an entire food group and when products finally arrive at random, the bodega queues can be long and disorderly. When (and if) a weekly chicken ration arrives at the market, you can smell chicken cooking in every kitchen in the neighbourhood.The island’s ration allowance has been shrinking over the decades ever since it was introduced when American sanctions placed a sudden burden on the population. It was at its worst when the Soviet Union fell in 1991, known as “the skinny period”, el tiempo de los flacos, when Cuba’s food importation dropped by 75%. Rations were cut in half and the average citizen lost 20 lbs.Things have improved since then, but still, this socialist experiment that costs the government over $1 billion annually, is barely enough to keep its people from starving and it certainly wouldn’t satisfy the average appetite.But for the tourists of course, it’s very different. While finding beef in a state-run bodega is a laughable idea, for the foreigner paying in dollars at government-owned hotels, you can order as many hamburgers as you want. Beef is a pretty taboo subject for many Cubans, who haven’t tasted it since they were children.
Only state-owned luxury butchers can sell beef and serve it in their hotels and private restaurants. Did you hear the one about the cows in Cuba? Under Cuban law, a person can get more jail time for killing a cow than killing a human. Needless to say, there isn’t exactly an entrepreneurial spirit for farmers on this island.If a local ever did feel like having a feast for dinner one night, there are options– if they have the money to burn. Products not freely available at the bodegas can be purchased at the mercado libre (free market), mercado paralelo (parallel market), or any supermarket that sells goods in convertible pesos (formerly known as dollar stores). And of course there’s always the black market. But at these establishments, market prices are so high, a kilo of milk powder for example, costs about $21. The average wage for Cubans is about $16 a month. Most food items that aren’t part of government rationing are simply off-limits to those who can only afford to pay in pesos.Cubans who find jobs in the tourist sector have it easier with access to hard currency and those living abroad often bring back suitcases filled with milk powder to give to their families. But for now, la libreta and the bare-shelved bodega is still a lifesaver for the poor. When the reform-minded President Raul Castro proposed to eliminate the ration, he was met with overwhelming opposition, particularly from low-wage state workers struggling to get by on $15 a month.
Most Cubans have known the ration book all their life and see it as one of the main achievements of the revolution. As more tourists with a big appetite descend on the island however, it remains to be seen how this austere and archaic system will co-exist with the outside influence of an “all-you-can-eat” consumerism heading its way.
