Hey Victoria,
Antwerp sounds like a place I would love to visit even though I am more of a mature person (don't agree with me
. You know how I like jewelry although my favorite stones are usually the colored gem stones. How did Antwerp become a place famous for diamonds? What are some of the leading occupations for this field in this industry and do many of the young people take this up as a trade or is it something they migrate towards if their parents or relatives are already working in the field ? Now I have to do some research on the Rubinshaus museum to learn more about what's there. Antwerp's train station must be beautiful since it is compared to Grand Central Station. I am sure you remember visiting Grand Central and glad that you have a vivid picture to compare. Enjoy your time left in Brussels.

[...] A second take at wearable papercut art! This time I used vintage brass lockets as the base – one of the leaves of the locket is filled with a unique hand-cut heart. The other is left blank for you to add a photograph of a loved one. My tiny papercut hearts take a while to create. I carve them out of red cardstock with an x-acto knife blade. Due to the detail of the cutout & its size, I typically go through two new blades to create one heart. I then mount the cutout on white background and cover the entire piece with varnish to protect it from moisture and add a painting-like finish. I found these brass lockets in a vintage jewelry shop – they are in a beautiful condition and are quite charming. You can find this piece in my Baltica etsy shop. Its vintage appearance fits this environment better than the more modern PaperCutWorks space. The first one was featured on etsy’s tumblr blog today, and is traveling to Australia tomorrow! [...]

Very silly in 21st century still obey and scared of Evil spirits than Jesus.
One solution to substitute the firecrackers – Loudspeaker.

#Colombia REDLAC Weekly Note on Emergencies Latin America and Carribean, Year 4 – Volume 214
hi Kester,
That's tremendous, I've got a couple of questions for you.
I'm somewhat surprised at the major divide you depict between chimp society and tribal organization; of course, tribes themselves vary greatly in nature, and they are, in comparison to more 'developed' social structures, egalitarian (with no wealth to speak of, there isn't very much to base difference upon). But you do get a strong development of the 'Big Man', for example in the performance of potlatch and other ceremonies that are precisely for engendering 'prestige'. Any comments?
Second, you explain the difference in operational hierarchy between western and thai monks as due to the western use of hierarchy for self-interest, rather than for social good. This is precisely the difference between the Indic 'Khattiyadhamma' (machievellian power) and 'rajadhama' (binding principles to ensure the king works for social good). But it is not clear to me that this really marks the difference in this case. It is a complex issue, with a strong personal dimension since the community of western monks is not that large, so it's difficult to generalize. But it seems to me that at least part of the difference comes from the greater emphasis in Thailand on 'face'. That means it is expected that everyone should behave in public as if the various hierarchies were absolute; and it is equally expected that this is not what actually happens behind the scenes. I think the westerners tend to think that a display of reverence means actual reverence, and act accordingly. The Thais understand that it's just a form. Does this relate to what you were saying?
Does anyone know where one might find this song? I have iTunes open now, have searched every way I can with no luck ;-(
