In the United States, June 14th is Flag Day. It commemorates the original adoption of the U.S. flag back in 1777 by the Second Continental Congress. It was President Woodrow Wilson’s 1916 proclamation that would solidify June 14th as National Flag Day, but it wasn’t until 1949 that congress enacted its actual observance. While not an official federal holiday, one state, Pennsylvania, celebrates Flag Day as a state holiday. And Troy, NY, home of Uncle Sam, hosts the county’s largest Flag Day Parade, typically drawing 50,000 revelers each year.

Because the 14th seldom falls on a weekend, the National Flag Day Foundation holds an annual observance for Flag Day on the second Sunday in June. The festivities include a ceremonial flag raising, Pledge of Allegiance recital, singing of the National Anthem (“The Star-spangled Banner”), and a parade. Later, during the last week of June, National Flag Week sees the president issuing a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week.

On a global level, every country has a flag, and most countries honor their flag with a Flag Day. Typically, a Flag Day is a day designated for flying a national flag, or a day set aside to celebrate a historical event such as a nation’s adoption of its flag. Flag Day customs and celebrations range from merely suggesting citizens fly the national flag on a particular day to requiring governmental offices to fly the flag half-staff. Flag Days, depending on the country, are generally ‘codified’ in decrees by heads of state, or in written statutes.

The U.S. is not the only country to honor Flag Day in June. Argentina celebrates their Flag Day, or Día de la Bandera, on June 20th, which is the anniversary of the death of Manuel Belgrano, the creator of Argentina’s flag. Also, Peru recognizes their Día de la Bandera on June 7, commemorating the anniversary of the Battle of Arica. And finally, Sweden’s Flag Day, Svenska Flaggans Dag, has been held on June 6th since the late 19th Century. Because each country’s Flag Day is usually inspired by its own historical events, there is no universal or internationally recognized Flag Day or month. For instance, Mexico’s Día de la Bandera falls on February 24. The day honors General Vicente Guerrero, first to pledge allegiance to the Mexican flag. Also, Italy’s Festa del Tricolore (Festival of the Tricolor) is celebrated on January 7th, and commemorates their flag’s adoption in 1797. And the Canadian province of Quebec commemorates their Jour du Drapeau on January 21, remembering the first flying of their flag in 1948.

Flags are a vital part of world history. The first type of flag was called a vexilloid, and ‘vexillology’ is the scientific study of flags. The root of the word vexilloid comes from a Latin word meaning “guide.” Originally, vexilloids were metal or wooden poles with carvings on top. About 2,000 years ago, pieces of fabric were added to some vexilloids for decoration, leading to what we know today as a typical flag. Although specific flag uses and purposes have differed throughout history, flags have always been a means of visual communication, often used when attempts at verbal communication are apt to break down.

Historically, there have been some very interesting uses for flags. In medieval times, when gallant knights wore so much armor that they were unrecognizable, flags were flown in battle to allow armies to tell friend from foe. Later, the “White Flag of Surrender” was established as the international sign for surrender. Soldiers flying a white flag are generally not fired upon. Because white flags are not intentionally made in advance of a battle, they are often fashioned out of any available materials right on the battlefield, adding even more drama to the situation. And finally, perhaps the most cherished and recognized international flag is known as the “Jolly Roger.” Also referred to as ‘skull and crossbones,’ the black flag, emblazoned with skeletons and swords, was used by pirates to warn and/or frighten unfortunate sailors. Anyone seeing a pirate flag on the horizon knew that they were subject to “no quarter,” and either needed to flee or prepare to fight to the death on the high seas.

This June, Americans, Argentineans, Peruvians, and Swedes will be flying their flags in honor of their country’s Flag Day. Throughout the year, the rest of the world will follow suit at some point, and commemorate the colorful symbols that signify various historic events, cultural values, and community bonds. Humanity is based on communication, and flags are one of our oldest forms of bridging the many gaps in our global tongues.

We use many different types of medical technologies to help to keep our health at optimum levels. This type of technology is something that is evolving on a regular basis and there are certainly methods that are available today that were not available just a few short years ago. An example of this is ultrasound, something that has been used successfully in medicine for just a few decades. It has assisted doctors in being able to diagnose and treat their patients in many cases, without ever doing any type of surgery. What is an ultrasound and how has this type of medical technology benefited humanity?

Ultrasound, when used medically is for the purpose of being able to view what is inside of the body without having to open the body to see it. All of your muscles, tendons and a wide variety of your internal workings can easily be seen using this type of technology. They can also help to see other things that may be in the body, some of which do not belong there. The type of technology that is being used is known as sonography. It bounces waves off of what is inside of your body and then gives a visual of what is inside by measuring the amount of time that it takes for those waves to return to the ultrasound medical equipment.

Most of us that are familiar with ultrasound are likely familiar with it because of how it is used with prenatal care. Using either new or preowned ultrasound machines, the doctor can look into the mother and view the child from a very young age. This can have many different benefits, including being able to see if there are any problems with the developing fetus. Many parents also appreciate the fact that they are able to see the child before it is born and if they agree, can even learn the sex of the child in advance. Of course, that is only one of the many uses of ultrasound in medicine.

This type of technology can also be used to detect any problems that are taking place within the heart. An ultrasound that is done in this way can allow the doctor to see the valves as they operate and can also allow them to check for any deposits that may be on the inside of the blood vessels. In addition, they can check the body for any blood clots that may be forming or that may exist in the blood vessels. They can then do what is necessary to break the blood clots or to filter them, depending upon the condition of the patient.

As ultrasound technology continues to improve, there is no doubt that there are going to be additional ways that it can be used to the benefit of those needing medical attention. It is something that is available in every hospital and many doctors offices are also able to get easy access to preowned ultrasound equipment that is affordable and use it for diagnostic purposes.

"The Humanity of Justice" is possibly the best book I've ever read on the modern American justice system. Relying on his own experiences as a Senior Deputy District Attorney in southern California, Burke E. Strunsky frames it this way: in a democracy, the justice system should not just be the objective interpretation of laws by professionals and systematic doling out of punishments based on precedents. The justice system is also an ongoing pursuit of what justice means. After reading Chapter 4, "The Jury: The Heart of American Justice," I had a renewed appreciation for the jury system as a quintessential component of a democracy. The jury is the "we" in "we the people." That is, the people have the responsibility and honor of deciding what justice is. Therefore, justice is a reflection of the moral will of the people. This book is about the people: the humanistic qualities and components of our justice system, but it is also a convincing argument that human emotions are a necessary supplement to logic and reason in deciding the psychological and sociological implications of crime, punishment and cultural analysis.

Strunsky doesn't mystify the reader with romanticizations of courtroom drama and complexities of the law one might find in a Hollywood crime drama or a law class respectively. It is a demystification, but an enlightening one. While this seems like an overzealous or glorifying review, the book deserves this encomium because it integrates justice and the role of humanity itself within the ongoing project of American society as the pursuit of justice. When you finish reading it, to be sure, you will come away with a better understanding of the American justice system and you will be implored to look at real and fictional criminal cases with more critical eyes. You might consider, or reconsider, the very idea of ​​justice, not just as some drifting abstract signifier, extracted from case law and dispassionately applied to subsequent crimes, but rather what it really is in a democratic justice system: something "we the people" reconstruct with each particular case. Strunsky provides ethical and practical comments in discussing some of his past cases (often brutal and horrific crimes he has prosecuted). This commentary never seems partisan and is always an elucidation. In other words, he does not dazzle you with incomprehensible court jargon; he explains it. For example, rather than using tactics to "trick" the jury into seeing a case his way, he explains (often misunderstood) jargon such as "abiding conviction" and "reasonable doubt" so the jury knows exactly what the court is talking about. He wants the jury (and all citizens) to recognize their individual roles in a social dynamic, to think like humans (thus, the title).

Among these broad contexts of justice and humanity, are the cases themselves. Some issues in the examples discussed are: flaws in capital punishments, the hypocrisy of clergy-penitent privilege, and the effective use of narrative in arguing the case. Strunsky presents the argument that we can improve upon these and other issues with a common sense (humanistic) approach to the pursuit of justice. Strunsky also devotes considerable time to crime prevention: socially in terms of gun control (a common sense look at this controversial topic) but also the economic, individual, and psychological precursors of crime: from prenatal care to adulthood. Strunsky brings what I think is a necessarily subjective, human spirit to supplement what is often thought of as an objective, law-written-in-stone institution.

Humans today have an extraordinary challenge-and it has nothing to do with climate change or anything else you may imagine to be of great import-because most of you have not the capacity to perceive past the illusion that has been carefully woven about you by those who would retain the status quo.

This critical challenge is whether or not you will allow yourselves as a race to be co-opted by technology and the devices it uses to distract you from yourselves, and proceed to live as extensions of and tethered to those devices-or,

if enough of you will awaken enough, and choose to align with your true (Divine) nature-making the choice to live in a balanced and harmonious way with each other, the animals, birds, sea creatures, and Earth herself, supporting the well-being of all.

These two pathways lead to two very different outcomes, and the choice must be made now. Not to put too fine a point on it-you are way past the Eleventh Hour: evidence the travesty playing out on the world stage. And make no mistake, your politicians will not save you-this is a boots-on-the-ground, all-in-it-together, critical mass required, call-to-arms.

***

The first pathway, currently most evident, derives from the use of technology and its attendant devices that attract you as toys attract children: they fascinate and distract, sucking you into a world where you are manipulated into believing there is value where there is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

And that is their function: to lure you into an illusory world-a world even termed virtual reality-where you can pretend you are something you are not and live life as if it were a game you can win by accumulating points, or likes.

This unconscious trance, that you have allowed yourself to be programmed into by the marketing industry and your media, and literally drugged into by what passes for food, drink, and so-called medicine-has you believing that you are limited, finite creatures, subject to what appears to be the trials and tribulations of life on earth, and making you imagine that (whatever they are selling in the moment) will fulfill you.

While this trance allows you to believe that you are living in an advanced civilization, the state of humanity today is actually analogous to your cavemen-in terms of the only capacity that counts: Consciousness-simply transposed onto what you consider to be modern society.

What you cannot recognize in your dream-state, is that a civilization steeped in competition, war, might-makes-right, deprivation and depravity, and the destruction of other species and the environment, are all signs of what is considered by the galactic community as a very primitive way of life indeed.

And unfortunately, even much of what passes for so-called spirituality in your society today is actually another form of distraction, lulling you into believing you are on a higher path when you are simply engaged in another level of self-serving illusion.

This pathway will lead to a world where humans become more and more reactive and machine-like in their behavior and responses, literally programmed to function in service to an extreme version of the economic machine that exists today.

***

The second pathway is that of awakening out of this dream-state you’ve been conditioned into, recognizing the oneness of Life, and proceeding to live in accordance with that understanding.

This means, that as an individual, you realize that the way you choose to live-your attitude, your intentions, and your every act-is either in alignment with the well-being of all or simply self-serving.

Once you are willing to look at yourself objectively, and make the deliberate choice to live in alignment with your own true, higher nature, you begin to adjust yourself in attitude, intention and behavior so that you contribute all you are, all you have, and all you do for that ‘well-being of all.’

Then, when enough of you choose this way of being, aligning your energetic frequencies to that of an elevated Consciousness, everything you want to change in your world will happen with very little effort, as all of the knowledge to make those changes are either already available-or accessible through connection to the Cosmic Mind-and with the elimination of self-serving can come about with ease.

The last hurdle that needs overcoming in taking this step is the fear that, by sharing all you have and are and do with others, you will somehow not have enough for yourself.

What you don’t understand is that by choosing to be an open channel through which you are continuously contributing to the whole, you cannot possibly deprive yourself of anything, as, being an integral part of the whole, that open channel is receiving from every contribution being made, and beyond-it’s an energetic flow.

So if you have children or grandchildren, or want them, and you’d like their world to be a place where Nature and all life is respected and protected, and where nations live in harmony and peace, then this is the time to take a definitive step into the New Paradigm calling for your participation, and out of the old self-centered and self-serving concepts of the previous centuries.

The upshot being: you either recognize that the well-being of all is the highest path and align yourself in its service, or you continue to focus on your own small needs and desires and fiddle away as the global Rome burns to the ground.

The entire Universe is available in your support, and awaiting your answer.

What are you going to do?

Looking for the right kind of supplement that will help you in your quest to gain more mass and build muscle can be difficult and is paved by trial and error. With a lot of body builders wanting to gain more mass, getting the right supplement is essential. One such mass-gainer in the market today is Mutant Mass, but can it really help you beef up? I will reveal all in this Mutant Mass review.

Mutant Mass, which prompts you to “leave humanity behind”, is dubbed as the new breed of mass gainer as it gives you monstrous effects. It contains 10 different proteins and a formula that will allow you improved muscle growth, enhanced tissue repair, increased energy, and better recovery.

But what exactly is in the supplement that will turn you into a mutant? The fast acting proteins that are in the product that will give you the boost you need are whey protein isolate and hydrolysate, and three other protein concentrates. On the other hand, the proteins that will prevent muscle breakdown due to their slow release are calcium caseinate, milk protein concentrate and isolate, egg white ablumin protein, and miceller casein.

In addition to the proteins, Mutant Mass also contains the carbohydrates waxy barley starch and waxy maize which are said to be absorbed quicker into the body, and the complex carb maltodextrin that will give your muscles the energy it needs.

But when conducting a Mutant Mass review, how does the product perform? Does it really deliver in all of its promises? Will it give you everything you need and turn you into the muscled mutant it promises?

When it comes to its actual effectiveness, people may find varying results when conducting a Mutant Mass review. While some do gain mass quite fast, some gain weight slowly over the course of a month or two. However, whether you do see results quickly or slowly, the fact of the matter is Mutant Mass will work. And aside from giving you mass, the supplement does deliver on its promise of increased energy and enhanced recovery so for body builders it is the complete package.

The only downside to the product is its “mixability.” The Mutant does not mix well, more so if you are not using a blender. Even when mixed for 5 minutes you will still end up with clumps, while blending it will only reduce the clumps. One trick that some of the consumers are doing is to dissolve it in hot water first and then add the cold water.

The selling point of the Mutant is its incredible taste. With flavors like vanilla ice cream, triple chocolate, strawberry banana cream, and cookies and cream, you can pick and choose which delicious flavor you will want to help you leave humanity behind. The flavors are so good, it won’t taste like it’s a supplement.

Over all, my conclusion from this Mutant Mass review is that it is a great product. It will help give you increased energy, improved recovery, and most of all, gain mass. It has several different flavors, all of which are delicious. If you don’t mind the clumps or have the patience to blend it, then this product is for you!

We only need to welcome the Last Judgment without fear of condemnation by God. God does not condemn; only egos do.

The Second Coming will end the lessons the Holy Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment. The lessons and guidance of the Holy Spirit will no longer be needed, as we all will extend inward to God.

For the time being, let’s not place fear in God, only love. It is the Holy Spirit in the mind of both the receiver and the giver where the gift abides. You have been given His lessons, and they continue, guaranteed by God, who we are of.

When humanity’s idea or dream of separate identities comes to an end, the second coming of Christ is what we will see. Bot a physical body. It will be when we all finally see we are all of the One Mind, God, and having released ourselves from ego-madness. It will be when the ego-based mind of illusion has totally faded away.

The awakened mind

The Holy Spirit asks your help, since He is of you. Whenever your thoughts are lured to illusion that still attracts you, enter into a holy instant–the timeless presence you truly live in. He needs only your willingness to know that your own free will is also God’s Will.

These truths, and eternity, are what the Last Judgment will show us; there will be no punishment as the ego has taught us. Rather, we will give a sigh and smile of relief that truth is finally accepted. It will put an end to all this nonsense, and judgments made from perceptions.

Christ’s second coming is as certain as God, but does not involve the appearance of some man or woman. The Second Coming will be the gathering of all minds, including the mind of our elder brother Jesus, who tried to show us the way out of the idea of sin, something we could never fully understand.

We will finally realize we have not been separate at all, but always been of the One Mind of Creation– which is God.

A Course in Miracles helps us to understand in this statement, “All that will remain is the whole Christ.” This is when we will see the face of Christ in ourselves, and in everyone we encounter. Oneness will be finally recognized, and we will step up to seeing good is all there can ever truly be.

Understanding this helps us not to be afraid of our true potential.

For the Second Coming to arrive, it needs our full potential, our real voice and our willingness to help each other recognize God’s Will, so we can join together. We will finally see that there has always been plenty of food to feed the hungry, for example, and plenty of housing to shelter the homeless, without making judgments of their capabilities.

It is His task to make your willingness, perfect willingness.

The Holy Spirit’s perfect faith in your true free will becomes your faith in Him. Out of the recognition of your own willingness, His perfect willingness will be given to you.

Since the dream of separation began millions of years ago, or an instant ago, the physical universe has been expanding, but now will start to contract. There will be one final contraction, one final heart beat, one last breath of air, that ends the dream. The dream of separation will be no more, as our minds will be at Home with God, just as they have safely been all along.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Once you have this understanding, what concern, then, can the Voice for God possibly have about how you use His gifts?

A Course in Miracles further states, “A holy instant is all it will take, wherein God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are known by you as One Mind.”

This will be full Atonement which we’ve also not fully understood, and see this as the invitation by God for the split-mind, or, thoughts of separate identities to be completely healed.

The completed Atonement is the “shield” and the “sword” worn by the whole Son (Child) of God, which has witnessed all minds being as one.

To your full potential

Most people cringe when they think of more ominous, powerful, and destructive weapon systems. The mere thought of huge monetary and economic resources going into weapons that ultimately help kill people makes one cringe, and yet, there is an upside to advanced weaponry – and the upside is huge. I’d like to discuss this for a moment because recently I was interviewed on the topic.

Daniel (the interviewer) asks: How can the development of new weapons help the humankind?

You know, when I speak at Universities, I get this question early and often. Look, no one wants to have a war. There is nothing noble about killing members of one’s own species. It’s a tragic flaw of humankind, although evolutionarily speaking this streak of aggression which runs deep, well let’s just say it’s there for a reason. Nevertheless, while I do not condone the carnage, I do know that only 1% of all the people who have ever lived have actually died in a war. Most die of old age, I believe we should focus maximum research funding on life-longevity, maybe then we’d remember our past and not repeat it, perhaps ending war in the future.

However, we do not live in the future, we live now, and without debating the philosophical scientific question; “What is time?” we must defend ourselves when our leaders reach political impasse and the fighting begins. “The best advice when it comes to war is not to have one, but if you find yourself in a war, it’s best to win it quickly and decisively,” I often ponder; if Karl von Clausewitz were alive today, would he give a ‘thumbs up’ to that?

Now then, back to the question, and sorry to digress there, but it’s important, especially for the next generation whose talented minds will be keeping us safe. There is a reason why nations spend so much on defense and why it is so necessary.

If we look back, we see Leonardo da Vinci who spent a portion of his time inventing and sketching war machines, about 1/3 of his time judging from the large volume or work he left behind. It was as important back then as it is today.

Now then, consider if you will all the technology – originally used for making weapons, that helps us in our daily lives today. How about jet air travel? Jet engines were developed to propel war planes faster. How about rocketry, or how about the Internet, originally developed by ARPA and Bell Labs?

My grandfather worked with radars, we use those for air traffic control. He also worked with microwave beams, pure Naval Research, today we cook food with the same technology. What about GPS Navigation? What about Satellites? Think about it, what would our lives be like today without those things? What about that smart phone in your pocket, the one you just used to text, buy a coffee, scan your boarding pass, and set up a meeting? Yep, you can thank defense spending and research.

New materials used in our high-tech aircraft will be used to make cars, trucks, buses, planes, future flying cars, and trains lighter, meaning they use less energy (less fuel) and are stronger and safer, likewise we will have better building materials, more durable, and stronger. How about lasers for manufacturing, dentistry, or on the Mars Rovers?

Indeed, I think we owe a lot to the development of weapon systems, just as we owe a lot to our space exploration and particle accelerator technologies. This is the message I’d like to bring because I see these innovations and the transfer technologies, as well as what they’ve done in the past for humankind, I see that as a trend which will definitely continue. Please consider this and think on it.

T. S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’, a poem on the spiritual dryness and the kind of existence in which no regenerating belief gives significance, gives the reader a sense of familiarity to all the incidents in the poem, which is plying on the collective unconscious of the reader. While reading the poem one comes to see it no only as a critique of the people’s value of daily life in the apex of the twentieth century calamities, but also an assessment of Man’s life and his mishaps throughout the history of humanity. The most significant unifying factor of this through history is the always-present character of Thiresias, who as a permanent mythic figure is present in the all stages of human history and mythologies; from the heroic time of Odysseus, and the heroes of Iliad to the tragic period of Sophocles in Greece, and now in the life of modern man. This figure makes the poem a through and a true history of humanity. In this study I am to unveil this latent historic content in ‘The Waste Land’, and represent the poem’s potential capacity to be read in the light of New-Historicism.

As one reads The Waste Land, different stages of history become foregrounded as a through history of humanity. Due to formalist critics to foreground is to bring to something into prominence, to make it dominant in perception. As these critics believed, poetry works by back-grounding the referential aspects and the logical connections; hence it foregrounds those unattended aspects and leads to a defamiliarized experience. So does ‘The Waste Land’ by giving images of death by the water, the burial, game of chess, thunder, and etc. which are regarded as universal images in human collective unconscious, though the poem represent the images in a context that defamiliarizes by foregrounding them.

Besides, that historians can articulate a unified and internally consistent worldview of any given people, country, or era and can reconstruct an accurate and objective picture of any historical event based on such background are key assumptions that Cultural poetics or New-Historicism challenges. One of the principals of the New-Historicism and its counterparts is that the relation between literature and history must be rethought. They assert that time is not a stable and fixed history which can be treated as the background against which literature can be foregrounded. As the new historians have set forth all history is foreground at any given time. (Bressler, 2007. 215-225)

In this regard we can consider ‘The Waste Land’ as a unified history of humanity. The poem consists of five parts, that each discusses a specific foregrounded period of human’s history. By the way, the most outstanding feature of the poem is the representation of a character named Thiresias; a man of the ancient times who is present, still, into the modern period. Thiresias is present in most of the significant incidents in history and mythology which brings together different aspects of the history, and now Eliot has brought him into the disastrous era of twentieth century. He is a character that foregrounds different stages of the history in the poem, unifies the poem and humanity throughout history; and therefore, through these bringing together the historical eras by one linking character the poem becomes a through history of humanity.

Noteworthy, ‘The Waste Land’, in the first look appears as a chaotic and incoherent piece; however, if read thoroughly some strong unifying clues can be seen that makes its chaos an aesthetic whole. The poem has five parts, each in a particular setting. The pronouns suggest a stable identity for the speaker but much else has already become unstable in each part of the poem, landscape has given way to cityscape. However, as for the identity of the speaker we can conclude that a strain exists between the presumed identity of the poem’s speaker and the instability of the speaker’s world. If this is the speech of one person, it has the range of many personalities and many voices of male and female, while all are one. Certainly if we identify the speaker of the poem; the person that winter kept warm and summer had surprised and the one who stops, goes on, drinks coffee and talks, certain continuity would be restored. Discontinuity, in other words, is no more firmly established than continuity. Therefore we can conclude that the un-unified poem is continuous and unified and there should be a unifying factor in it. Hence this unifying factor can be nothing but a character-speaker- that exists throughout the history of the poem. And this historical character is Thiresias.

Moreover, if analyzed stylistically, we would come to the consequence that in any given line there are stylistic features which will bind it to a subsequent or previous line, in this way suggesting a continuous speaker. In this regard we have to answer two questions. The first one is about the identity of the continuous speaker; who is it? To answer it we need to identify the historical character that exists throughout the history of the poem. Certainly this character is Thiresias, even male or female; because he is the ancient foreseer that has lived as a female for some years, and we can trace him in each part of the poem. We come to the conclusion that despite the chaotic appearance ‘The Waste Land’ is a unified poem and the unifying factor is the old Thiresias. Then how can we justify the different historical periods and settings in each part of the poem. Answering this second question is easy if we again analyze the existence of the old fortune-teller, Thiresias.

He is not a character of one era; he had been present in all the ancient time, even the great Oedipus had him as his adviser. It is not the fate that rules him; it is he who governs the fate and fortune. So he can be present in all periods. He is an intermittent phenomenon in the poem. Thus, in this way the historical periods do not matter at all; they are not a background on which the poem be constructed, all the history is foregrounded. The differences of the periods would dissolve in the whole history of the poem, because it is the whole history that comes to foreground and becomes concised in Thiresias.

Now can we, finally, consider The Waste Land as the history of humanity? A history of humanity should have two features; first there should be a historical account of the world and then a history of all individual men on earth. And this postmodern poem has put these features together very carefully and artistically. It has the whole history of the world as its matter of discussion; all the world’s incidents, either in history or in literature, had been alluded in the five part of the poem. However, they are not reported fragmentarily. All the fragments had been put together as incidents happening to one individual and so they make a unified whole. And this individual is the old Thiresias.

He is a harmonizing consciousness and a more encompassing point of view. The principle of order in The Waste Land depends on a plurality of consciousness, an ever-increasing series of points of view which struggle towards an emergent unity and then continue to struggle past that unity. Then The Waste Land is a concised history of the world and man’s life on earth; and therefore, it becomes a history of humanity with all its ups and downs and catastrophes, all unified in the experience of Thiresias.

All things considered within this perspective, any foregrounded history will be provisional and therefore it is the whole history and comes to discuss, analyze and criticize the whole fortunes and misfortunes of human being throughout this history. Hence a good reading of ‘The Waste Land’ must begin, then, with recognition that while it expressed Eliot’s own way of the time, it has the history of humanity in the background. But not as a background upon which the poem is constructed, whole it is composed of fragments and each of these fragments of history makes the whole history foregrounded. Therefore we have the whole history of humanity in the foreground and we have to deal with this whole history in each moment of the poem. And finally, at the end of the poem we all the fragments as a whole and the whole history of humanity become foregrounded at once.

Chaplin (Dr) Martins Mike, Chief Commandant-General, Patriotic Gallant Chaplain Corps & Rescue Mission, Lagos, is marching forward with his dream of serving God and humanity.

Truth is that service is the wage we must all pay for our existence here on earth.

You have every right, dear reader to agree or disagree with me, here.

It is about visiting inmates in prisons with lots of love, visiting the sick in hospitals, going to police cells to see, preach and share your love with the suspects.

Visiting the orphanages, remand homes, rehabilitation centers, and meeting those who are mentally, spiritually, emotionally challenged.

It is also about going to camps where people displaced from their natural and ancestral homes are kept, again with lots of love and gifts.

These people may have being victims of the terror groups, communal clashes, kidnapping, floods, etc.

Using your talent, skill, knowledge and experience to serve others is also commendable and acceptable to God and man, both in developed and developing countries.

Chaplain Dr Mike, a retired senior military officer, a born-again Christian and holder of two doctorate degrees, is therefore dreaming of building a hospital and orphanage for the weak, the poor and the neglected.

But, he explained that all his worldly achievements are nothing compared to his burning desire to serve God and humanity, with Jesus as the foundation and the Holy Spirit as the guardian.

He dropped this hint at the induction/ decoration ceremony of Amata Julius Isaac, as Chief Assistant Commandant-General of the Patriotic Gallant Chaplin Corps & Rescue Mission.

Amata is to take charge as director of the international and foreign mission for the corps.

Do note that in the United States of America with a population of 622million people, 65 million of them are chaplains.

Each of these chaplains earn 30 dollar per hour rendering service.

The newly elevated foreign mission director, an indigene of Isoko in the present Delta state, mid-west Nigeria, was born in the 1970s, and he is blessed with his wife, Mrs Victoria Amata and five children.

He attended primary and secondary schools in Lagos, we well as tertiary institution before he was arrested, so say by Jesus Christ and asked to preach His gospel all over the world.

In his thank you speech, the director told the participants at the ceremony that in obedience to the call of Jesus, “I have preached the gospel in Ghana, Botswana, South Africa, Sierra Leon, India and Pakistan”.

These certainly are the bright sides of the slim, handsome, ebony black preacher man from Isoko.

He also said. “I have being set-up many times to be killed, I have endured lots of persecution, but the blood of Jesus has seen us through the valley of dead”.

Pastor Roland Okechukwu, an obvious orator, was the chairman of the ceremony, with Apostle Chris Ikechukwu, as guest speaker, while Chaplain Dr Mike, supervised as president of the corps.

While there is the whole buzz around citing 3D printing as the definite future of humanity, I beg to differ for certain reasons that I have penned down below.

To start with, the 3D mechanism here banks on resin, and it is actually harmful to our body. You don't always need to come in physical contact with it to understand the danger- in fact; you will end up hurting your eyes even if you stare at it for long. It's because 3D printing uses a substance which is made from combustion at temperatures above and below the notified marks.

For those with little or no idea regarding 3D printing, here goes a brief:

3D printing technology is deployed in several industries working for defense and manufacturing. Moreover, other industries or trades those need to work with complex designs as well as have the requirement of high-demand products, also count on 3D printing.

After much thought, I came to the view that 3D printing isn't the very proposal that is thoroughly checked by government agencies. What's much alarming is that the industries mentioned above are only risking lives through wrong inputs just because they are eyeing profit from collateral of false propaganda or otherwise via inverted calculation.

The energy deployed in its frequent support just adds to high voltage & systematic harm for our environment. Whatever logic these industries put forward to justify their investment on 3D printing is always pertinent to their interests & profits, and they never care for the consumer.

This is to stress here that the very theoretical dynamics aren't exactly sought through reliable findings. The very situational drama that we see is just a gathered perception, and changes in written dimensions only imply complete dilution of subject expertise.

On the other hand, the second primary reason behind the high end propagated interference shows relation to high judgment that doesn't exactly meet either existence of the relative precautions or non-portal behavior.

I consider myself, and I am also recognized as an individual of high values ​​who is well aware of this interest of these industries in using 3D printing. Thus, I would not consciously wish anybody to use 3D printing so that our nature can be saved from the harm caused by fake or faulty hypothesis.

Our Mother Earth is calm and resilient, and even though she knows about these high profile people, she stays silent. But I realized this should not be allowed for long. Yes, it took me the immense courage to state my views here that clashes with the interest of the top guns but still this is my ardent request you to boycott the harmful 3D printing practice immediately. We all have to be very serious about it for the sake of benefit of our existence.

The Republicans hardly have any idea about value steered by the consumer goods. However, I feel, our fellow citizens should be careful about the crucial justification which leads to this savage thinking. Reduced harm would be able to sub judice high theories and reduction in supplements forms the root cause of the true behavior.

Finally, the whole stuff is bounded by breakthrough subjects which don't implement situational devaluation.
