When people ask me how to make their computers faster, my answer is always “more RAM”. The biggest reason why software applications run slowly is because they don’t have enough memory to operate efficiently. People work the same way. You can improve your memory by getting enough sleep at night and by mind-dumping. Well, it works for me.
" It is about where we are today that matters, what is good in our lives right now. See your happiness through the eyes of those around you if you can't see it through your own. "
So God cares for His people, but in a much greater fashion - For their names are engraved upon the palms of His hands, And, more in number than the grains in all the world's sandsAre His thoughts towards them who truly are His, For the Father of mercies and God of all comfort He is - Bottling every tear that His beloved cry As they are to Him the apple of His eye; The very hairs on their heads He numbers, And their souls' Keeper neither sleeps nor slumbers;And to all who make His Son their heart's choice Over them with singing He will rejoice.
And God's love, like His care, is past comprehending - Boundless, unfathomable and never ending; But whilst no greater love in a man can be found Than for his friends to willingly lay his life down, Yet God commends His love as more worthy of praise, For, whilst we were yet sinners, Christ died in our place - Yes, though we loved Him not, yet our Father above Loved each one of us with an everlasting love, And with lovingkindness has drawn us to Him Through faith in Christ, who bled and died for our sin; For God so loved this world His only Son He gave That whoe'er believes in Him He would eternally save.
So our Heavenly Father we now praise and laud For making us the sons and daughters of God - For loving us in this most wonderful way, And for His gracious care and provision each day, For the promised blessings from His bounteous store,
"Set your sights high - the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way."
Eileen Caddy 1917-2006, Spiritual Teacher and Author

IMAGINING WOMEN – CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS AND
GENDER
Feminist Perspectives
Feministcritic Teresa de lauretis argues that
it is still possible to talk about the ‘essence of woman’, or necessary
attributes (e.g. the experience of femaleness, of living in the world as
female) that women have developed or have been bound to historically in their
differently patriarchal sociocultural contexts which make them women not men.
Investigations of women’s or feminists ‘ways of seeing’ or of the female gaze
can be easily labelled essentialist. We must remember, however, that
definitions of terms such as essentialism in different cultural contexts do not
always coincide precisely.
Teresa de lauretis asserts that a modifies
essentialism is the very basis on which feminist thinking differs from
non-feminist thinking, enabling all different branches of feminist though to be
termed ‘feminist’. The merging of what
previously was opposite positions is central to the discussion of cultural representation
in the book IMAGINING WOMEN. Social
constructivism needs to recognize the essential which informs it (Diane Fuss,
1989).
The Value Of Work
Women’s work in different media is ‘valued’ or
judged and criticized in a variety of ways, but nearly always within the
context of patriarchal culture and its norms.

Cultural Representations and gender concerns
itself with the activities and interests of ordinary women. Most of the articles in the book could be
described as examples of feminist cultural studies. They ask about how
questions in particular female audiences use texts, how meaning is made from
the and how they are incorporated into everyday life. There is also special concern with how they
evolve and grow from everyday life.
In reference to cultural representation this
book looks at how women are represented, how we represent ourselves and what we
do with the representations we encounter. There is a clear distinction between
representation and reflection.
Representation indicates that some kind of modulation or interpretive
development involved in representation. Some manipulation or transformation is
unavoidable. Not even photographs are reflections – they aretwo dimensionalrepresentations; which we learn to read and interpret in different ways.
