![]() ![]() ![]() Two years later I graduated from college and found my way overland through Europe, Istanbul, Iran, and Afghanistan to fabled India, where I met my first lamas: Thubten Yeshe on a hilltop overlooking Nepal’s Katmandu Valley and Kalu Rinpoche in Darjeeling, near where Lama Govinda had met his own root guru, Tomo Geshe. Guenther-the young seeker was off and running. The White Clouds led me to Evans-Wentz’s Tibetan Book of the Dead, Somerset Maugham’s The Razor’s Edge, Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha, and René Daumal’s Mount Analogue, as well as to the significant works of Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, Huston Smith, and Herbert V. I struggled with my Brooklyn-bred mouth to pronounce the Sanskrit and Tibetanized mantras I first read in that early book and asked my calculus teacher from India for help. On winter nights in my college dorm in snowy Buffalo, New York, I read his marvelous tales of Tibet and dreamed of likewise meditating at the feet of the enlightened old Tibetan masters, saints, and sages while imbibing their secret teachings.ĭevouring with my eyes the strikingly beautiful and mysterious images of Buddha and the sacred temple architecture in the Govindas’ photos, as well as some of their colorful paintings and sketches, I too wanted to become a Buddhist and an eventual Buddha, in order to help edify and enlighten and make peace in this volatile world. ![]() I was amazed to find out that the learned and accomplished Lama Anagarika Govinda-whom I mentally put in a class with the famously reclusive Trappist monk Thomas Merton, author of the classic autobiography The Seven Story Mountain-was actually a German guy who had fought in Italy during World War I, had been a monk in Ceylon, and was now married to a flamboyant, upper-class Indian artist named Li Gotami. I immediately bought his autobiographical The Way of the White Clouds, a spiritual account of his trailblazing 1930s and ’40s Tibetan pilgrimages, which helped set me upon a similar journey toward what Govinda lovingly called The Land of the Thousand Buddhas. Lama Govinda’s was a name I first heard when I was in college in the late 1960s from either Baba Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg, or Gary Snyder, all of whom had already met him in India.

The book itself was a risk, a niche, but I had an editor who championed me and a team who believed in my work and nearly 3 years after release, that book is still selling strong.Īlso in the midst of the dear and chaos and loss of that first series, I signed a work-for-hire contract for an early Middle Grade at Scholastic. And that, over the next four years, would restore my faith in myself and my industry. It was a strange supervillain origin story and it took me to a new publisher, Tor, that took a chance on me. And it was a secret, a sheltering of the creative process so that that no publisher could take away what the writing of it gave me. A book to restore my joy, to remind me why I did this masochistic thing. And my anger, my frustration, my stubborn resolve was louder than my fear, so I sat down and wrote something else. ![]() (The hardcover of THE ARCHIVED was just taken out of print.)Īt 25, I was scarred, terrified that my career was over, because I’d given something everything I had, and it wasn’t enough, and I didn’t understand how or why or what I was supposed to do next, and part of me wished I’d walked away back when that first book didn’t sell, but I didn’t. It had earned out, but still under-performed by some invisible, unknowable measurement. That one got a bit more traction, and a loyal cultish following, but by the time its sequel, THE UNBOUND, hit shelves, I’d been informed that the publisher wouldn’t be finishining the trilogy. Instead I wrote THE ARCHIVED, about a library of the dead. I wrote a sequel, THE DARK REMAINS, but the publisher decided after it was written that they’d rather have something else, so back into the drawer it went. The book was in a select number of stores for a very short time, 1-2 copies max, and disappeared by the end of its first season. It didn’t get much press aside from the fact it was a debut (the industry loves to tout debuts, as though lack of experience is the natural precursor to massive success). It was called THE NEAR WITCH, and the summer after I graduated, it sold to Disney. Two sing-song lines about a village and a witch and a secret in the wind. ![]() Plus I had this idea swimming through my head. It would have been easy to walk away–failure isn’t fun, and I was pretty good at other things that wouldn’t take so much flesh, but I couldn’t bear the thought I was a fluke. I was a college senior when I decided to try again. Five times getting all the way to the door and then being told it wasn’t good enough to go through. A literary agent, a year on sub to publishers, five separate acquisitions meetings. I wrote my first novel as a sophomore, an acid trip through the underworld that will never be published, but it got close enough for me to get my first true tastes of failure. I started writing when I was a kid, poetry mostly, didn’t try my hand at anything longer than a short story until I was in college. It’s taken me 9, so if that means I’m ahead of the curve, so be it. These days I see my name paired more and more with the words “overnight success”, and I’ve heard that the average overnight success takes 10 years. The photo doesn’t do the feelings justice. When I found not one, but two major displays–a table stand and a wall runner–I stood very still, trying to make a memory, and then, realizing I couldn’t be counted on, I snapped a photo instead. I’d just walked into a bookshop in Edinburgh, hoping, as many author do, to spot my own work tucked away somewhere on the shelf. A few weeks ago, I wrote a post over on Tumblr about success. ![]() ![]() While she stuck with the same melody, she sang the words to "Lift Every Voice and Sing," merging the two songs. In 2008, jazz singer Rene Marie was asked to perform the Star Spangled Banner at Denver's State of the City address. The officers wore black shirts with the logo "#ImWithKap" and sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing."īut the song has also spurred controversy. In 2017, dozens of New York Police Department officers stood in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, who gained national attention for protesting the playing of the national anthem during NFL games. Several teams agreed, including the Washington Wizards, who played the song during a timeout midway through the first quarter during a game against the Golden State Warriors. After the 2012 Trayvon Martin shooting, protesters at Howard University joined around the flagpole at the center of campus, praying and singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing."Ī retired Howard professor, Eugene Williams, spent months last year urging NBA teams to play the song at games during Black History Month. Redmond said she has noticed a revival of the song's use in political protest in recent years, particularly with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. Joseph Lowery, who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Martin Luther King Jr., recited part of the hymn while delivering the benediction at President Barack Obama's first inauguration. Everyone stood, punching fists in the air as soul singer Kim Weston belted out "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Jesse Jackson delivered a rousing speech, and famously invited the masses to sing the black national anthem. As the Star-Spangled Banner was performed, no one stood. 20, 1972, a crowd of more than 100,000 black people gathered at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the Wattstax festival. ![]() The strains of "Lift Every Voice" accompanied the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is still sung as a hymn in many Protestant denominations. ("The Star-Spangled Banner" would not be signed into law as the official national anthem until 1931). In 1928, Redmond recalled in her book, a white rabbi, Stephen Wise of the Free Synagogue in New York, wrote to the songwriters praising the hymn as the "noblest anthem I have ever heard," and "a great upwelling of prayer from the soul of a race long wronged but with faith unbroken." He suggested that the song serve as a substitute for other national anthems. The Johnson brothers intended to not only uplift black communities still healing from slavery, but also to send a message to the white public, to illuminate the suffering African Americans had endured for generations.Įven in the 1920s, the song gained wide praise from white, non-Christian observers, demonstrating the broad reach of the hymn. Reaching a large audience was in fact one of the goals of the song's original writers, Redmond said. It was perhaps one of the most high-profile, public stages for the song in recent years, Redmond argued. "Beychella" was the number-one trending topic on Twitter, and the hymn's title was itself a hashtag. college-age students were familiar with "Lift Every Voice and Sing."īut what is clear is Beyoncé's reach. Sue Jewell conducted research showing that only two in three black U.S. "It is not in wide use in the same way with contemporary generations as it has been with my parents and grandparents' generation." In her extensive study of the song's history and role, she's finding that fewer and fewer young people know the lyrics to the hymn. "It's unclear to me to what extent the song resonated with those in the audience," Redmond said. ![]() ![]() Yet others on Twitter, along with Redmond, wondered how many in the audience could actually identify the song and its significance. It was my pride/rage/power rolled up in 1 #Beychella"Ĭalise tweeted "I just need to know #HBCUfam did anyone else raise their fists in salute when Beyoncé sang Lift every voice and sing? #beychella" Nick Fury tweeted "I cannot stress how much of an important moment in music history, Black history, American history, the entire history of me - it was to hear Beyoncé sing Lift Every Voice & Sing while 100+ screamed to and through the Ancestors. ![]() ![]() If you have entered the correct details, you will be taken to your account dashboard.Ĭommon Issues Logging Into PayPal Accounts Once you have entered your email address and password, click on the “Log In” button to access your PayPal account.

![]() ![]() Linksys has been named a CES Innovation Award 2021 Honoree for the AX8400 product.If you’re shopping for a new router or looking at mesh systems, you will certainly want to look for Wi-Fi 6 support. Motion sensing is offered separately as a service at a price of US$2.99 a month (US prices). There are also substantial updates to the sensing functionality available via the Linksys App. The upgrade enables the use of third-party Wi-Fi devices to expand the motion sensing coverage area. Last but not least the AXE8400 includes support for an upgraded version of Linksys’ motion sensing technology called ‘ Linksys Aware‘, which was introduced in late 2019. Above right in blue: Channel allocation table for Wi-Fi 6E including the seven new 160 MHz channels. ![]() This is turn should mean that 6 GHz is used for backhaul to the extent that other mesh units support it and exclusively so until client devices arrive and begin to request use of the band for fronthaul.Īnd there truly is a gigantic amount of 6 GHz spectrum available for backhaul according to US regulations: All of seven non-overlapping 160 MHz channels are available, each capable of delivering 4.8 Gbps of data rate for four-stream 6 GHz devices, such as the AXE8400. The spec sheet says Linksys AXE8400 supports ‘tri-band dynamic backhaul’, which we take to mean that the unit will configure itself to make best use of the available bands. Qualcomm is of course very much aware of this major initial benefit of Wi-Fi 6E and had this strongly in mind when designing the Network Pro series ( also read this Qualcomm blog for more details). ![]() This in turn will deliver a serious boost to Wi-Fi performance because the entire 5 GHz band is then free of any backhauling duties and thus fully available to serve client devices only. One of the big benefits of Wi-Fi 6E at the moment – before any significant number of 6 GHz client devices are available on the market – is that the 6 GHz band can be used to create a super fast mesh backhaul network. Wi-Fi 6E for backhaul means immediate performance gains for devices The AXE8400 will be available in the US starting this spring at the fairly substantial retail price of US$849.99 for a two-pack. The unit is certified by both the FCC and the Wi-Fi Alliance and supports WPA3 encryption and security, Linksys says. Another useful feature is that the AXE8400 is compatible with previous Linksys mesh units, such as the AX6000. One node covers 3000 square feet (about 280 square meters) and supports 64 concurrent devices, Linksys says. The spec sheet as expected lists both major Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E features: 4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA. Linksys says the AXE8400 is ‘the ideal solution for bandwidth-heavy homes’ and for supporting multiple concurrent home activities, including work-from-home video conferencing, VR gaming, remote learning, and more. The AXE8400 gets its by adding an ‘E’ from ‘Wi-Fi 6E’ to its Wi-Fi 6 version (called AX6000) and the rest from its tri-band speeds of 1200 Mbps (2.4 GHz) plus 2400 Mbps (5 GHz) plus 4800 Mbps (6 GHz), which equals a whopping 8400 Mbps of speed. 8400 Mbps of speed including 4800 Mbps (four streams) at 6 GHz The AXE8400 is powered by Qualcomm’s Networking Pro 1210 platform released in May of last year – read our coverage of the Networking Pro series here. And although other new Wi-Fi 6E routers could well launch later this week, it looks like Linksys really did get there first with the AXE8400 tri-band mesh system (pictured above left). Yes, it was bound to happen at CES 2021: The debut of the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E-capable (6 GHz) mesh router. The unit is powered by Qualcomm’s Networking Pro chipset series released in May of last year. Who will be the first company to launch a Wi-Fi 6E mesh router? Unsurprisingly we were fairly certain it would happen at CES 2021 and sure enough, Linksys – the smart home division of Belkin – today jumped ahead of the pack by launching the tri-band AXE8400 with Wi-Fi 6E.

The Skin Deep Database is #winning because it is the only digital platform providing accurate, accessible information about the ingredients in our cosmetics and skincare products. Each product is rated on a scale from 0 (very safe) to 10 (potentially toxic,) and consumers are able to type in any product name and learn the truth about the ingredients. By pooling scientific studies and regulatory statuses from 60 sources, including government agencies, industry panels, academic institutions and other credible bodies, the EWG is able to assess the potential health effects and data gaps for the majority of cosmetic ingredients on the market today. Each ingredient name is given a unique identification number in the database and is then sorted by safety status. ![]() Every product that is added to Skin Deep from companies and consumers is carefully reviewed by the organization to identify product type, product use and composition, target demographic, and special product claims. The Environmental Working Group is a non-profit organization on a mission “to empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment.” They use the power of information to “drive consumer choice and civic action.” The EWG’s Skin Deep Database was launched in 2004 as an online product and ingredient database that contains information about the ingredients in over 69,000 products.
