Agenda item #6 is being discussed.

Everything went very well.

A question about various voting methods, touching on the curb side voting process. The November 23rd election involved 24 stations were set up for voting with additional temporary staffing.
Acknowledgment of report has been approved. Thank yous abound,
Agenda Item #7 is now being discussed.
The PEO Performance report found that overall performance of election officials in Cuyahoga County was very strong. There was a significantly higher percentage of new workers involved in the November election. And, this was all in spite of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Great work!
An ongoing challenge will be convincing a decent percentage of the workers for future elections. Let's stay civically engaged Cuyahoga County.
Fewer elections were rejected but the department believes the raw number of rejected ballots is too high. Most common error is having a voter at the wrong precinct. There is no reason for the number to be this high as the tools are provided in training to address these errors.
Continued training emphasis will be on education of provisional voters and future poll workers. Cuyahoga BOE wants to keep the citizens engaged - both the voters and those who take a step further and work for BOE.
Questions by Ms. Inajo Chappel:
Has poll workers retention initiatives efforts happened before? Can we use grant money for this? Can we have poll worker recognition? We want to keep people coming back to work with us.
Answers by a BOE member,

We have a substantial amount of money from the state to pay POE members, we may be able to use it ongoing but it depends if we have access to it. Cuyahoga BOE CLE program will continue which allows attorney to acquire education credits.
Questions by a BOE member,

What are the courses?
Answers by a BOE member,

If you are a returning poll worker, you have the opportunity to take a full course online. About a third have used this service. For the real adventurous workers were able to log-in to the poll worker portal and access all educational tools.
Report has been acknowledge and approved.
Vouchers have been approved and passed.
A BOE workers has been acknowledged and approved.
Agenda item 9 New Business is being discussed.

Directive 2020-14 restricts cancellation of a voter only after they have been approved by the Ohio Secretary of State. Cuyahoga BOE is required to submit an update. They submitted one but has yet to hear a reply from OH SOS.
Around 8500 registrations have been certified to cancel.

Ms. Inajo Chappell requests a report be compiled to review the submission of cancellations and how the number of cancellations has been collected.
An update pertaining to a potential 11th Congressional District Election. An election day has not been announced yet as a vacancy has yet to occur.
Candidate deadline is usually 90 days before the election and are required to have at least 50 signatures of support but this may change.

Cuyahoga BOE generally advise candidates to not be circulate petitions as no election has not been announced. We all have to wait and see.
There is a risk if you are circulating petitions too earlier as the collection of the signatures may become outdated and invalid. No candidates want to be invalid.
Question: what is the grant money being used for?

A discussion about cords and vendors occurred.
Agenda item EXECUTIVE SESSION will occur in a private phone call.
Roughly 10 minutes passed after the executive session. They returned to say Happy holiday and new years to all.

हिमालय पर्वत की एक बड़ी पवित्र गुफा थी।उस गुफा के निकट ही गंगा जी बहती थी।एक बार देवर्षि नारद विचरण करते हुए वहां आ पहुंचे।वह परम पवित्र गुफा नारद जी को अत्यंत सुहावनी लगी।वहां का मनोरम प्राकृतिक दृश्य,पर्वत,नदी और वन देख उनके हृदय में श्रीहरि विष्णु की भक्ति अत्यंत बलवती हो उठी।


और देवर्षि नारद वहीं बैठकर तपस्या में लीन हो गए।इन्द्र नारद की तपस्या से घबरा गए।उन्हें हमेशा की तरह अपना सिंहासन व स्वर्ग खोने का डर सताने लगा।इसलिए इन्द्र ने नारद की तपस्या भंग करने के लिए कामदेव को उनके पास भेज दिया।वहां पहुंच कामदेव ने अपनी माया से वसंतऋतु को उत्पन्न कर दिया।


पेड़ और पौधों पर रंग बिरंगे फूल खिल गए और कोयलें कूकने लगी,पक्षी चहकने लगे।शीतल,मंद,सुगंधित और सुहावनी हवा चलने लगी।रंभा आदि अप्सराएं नाचने लगीं ।किन्तु कामदेव की किसी भी माया का नारद पे कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा।तब कामदेव को डर सताने लगा कि कहीं नारद क्रोध में आकर मुझे श्राप न देदें।

जैसे ही नारद ने अपनी आंखें खोली, उसी क्षण कामदेव ने उनसे क्षमा मांगी।नारद मुनि को तनिक भी क्रोध नहीं आया और उन्होने शीघ्र ही कामदेव को क्षमा कर दिया।कामदेव प्रसन्न होकर वहां से चले गए।कामदेव के चले जाने पर देवर्षि के मन में अहंकार आ गया कि मैने कामदेव को हरा दिया।

नारद फिर कैलाश जा पहुंचे और शिवजी को अपनी विजयगाथा सुनाई।शिव समझ गए कि नारद अहंकारी हो गए हैं और अगर ये बात विष्णु जी जान गए तो नारद के लिए अच्छा नहीं होगा।ये सोचकर शिवजी ने नारद को भगवन विष्णु को ये बात बताने के लीए मना किया। परंतु नारद जी को ये बात उचित नहीं लगी।
First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (
https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
