This section covers the obligations you are required to meet following the receipt of a workers' compensation claim from one of your workers.Receiving the claim
It is not your decision to accept liability for the claim. Your insurer must assess the claim and advise you and the injured worker of their decision, in writing, within 14 days of receiving the claim. The advice must indicate whether it is accepted or disputed, or if they need more time to make a decision.Claims that involve a journey
An injured worker cannot be required to attend medical appointments arranged by you or your insurer more than once every two weeks and only during reasonable hours.
If you would like a second opinion, you can request a medical review through your insurer.
A worker also cannot be required to see more than three medical practitioners who are specialists in the same field.
An employer cannot insist on being present at an injured worker's medical appointment.
If a worker's claim is accepted, their medical bills can usually be forwarded straight to the insurer for payment.
Prior to commencing any treatment, the worker should be advised to check with your insurer that any proposed treatments will be covered and costs reimbursed.
Click for information about employer attendance at medical consultations (PDF – 151KB).
Getting feedback from your insurer
Ask your insurer for feedback regarding all claims, and consider arranging regular meetings. You can expect your insurer to inform you of the following:
- the cost of any claims made on your policy at least once a year
- any dispute referred to the Workers' Compensation Conciliation Service and the outcomes of each stage of the dispute
- the renewal date for your policy.
You should begin workers' compensation payments without delay, consulting with your insurer regarding the amount. Once payments begin, you are required to pay the worker in the usual manner and on their usual payday, unless notified by the insurer to cease payments.
If you feel that you may be unable to pay an injured worker's weekly payments in this manner, you should contact your insurer as soon as possible to discuss what options are available. If you cannot resolve the issue with your insurer, contact Advice and Assistance on 1300 794 744.
If the injured worker attains partial or total capacity to work during this time, the employer must provide their original position (where reasonably practicable), or another of equal status and pay for which they are qualified and capable of performing.
Intention to dismiss the worker
During the 12 month period, if the employer intends to dismiss the injured worker, 28 days' notice of that intention must be given to the worker and to WorkCover WA by completing Form 15G – Notice of Intention to Dismiss a Worker.
WorkCover WA will then determine if any further information is required, and a Compliance Officer may contact the employer to discuss details of the termination.
Note: If a worker is in receipt of weekly payments at the time of dismissal, they will continue to receive statutory weekly payments and medical/related benefits.
In order to access certain benefits or settlements, or pursue common law damages, it may be necessary for the injured worker to obtain an impairment assessment from an approved medical specialist of their choice.
Impairment assessments are usually required when you (or your insurer) and the injured worker have not agreed on a level of impairment.What is an approved medical specialist?
An AMS is trained to evaluate impairment using the WorkCover WA Guides for the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment and the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, fifth edition.
An injured worker obtains an assessment from an AMS of their choice.
As part of managing the workers' compensation claim, your insurer may arrange for the injured worker to be reviewed by an AMS. Alternatively, an injured worker may arrange for their own review.
The injured worker will be required to attend the assessment at an arranged time, date and place.
After the assessment, the AMS is required to provide a written report and a certificate to you and to the injured worker.
Your obligations
The AMS may also require you or your insurer to produce or consent to the production of any relevant document or information. Time limits may apply for meeting these requirements, and penalties exist for non-compliance.

Key elements to a HIT record
Story/Content: Your song needs to have some kind of story to get the listener into it. It doesn't need to be anything complicated, but it needs to be easily pictured in the listeners mind when they listen to the track. It also helps if a lot of people can relate to what you're saying in your song.
Melody/Beat: The first couple notes of your beat is what's going to capture the listener�s attention. Rap instrumentals play a huge role in urban music and are as important as lyrics and your delivery. Hip-hop beats usually have a simple and catchy melody that can be easily hummed and makes you nod your head right away.
Simplicity: Your lyrics have to be as simple as possible, same as your rap beats. There is no point to make it complicated because the average listener usually just wants to relax and enjoy simple melodies and lyrics. Be as straight forward and to the point as you can.
Emotion: There has to be a strong emotional attachment to the track, lyrics and the beat. It can be depressing, uplifting, happy or sad, but most importantly listeners need to feel a certain way when they take in your track. Once they get a certain feeling, they will want to play your song again and again.
Catchy Hook: A hook, also known as a chorus, is the most important element of the song. All the rap beats and instrumentals on our website have certain parts in them where there is a melodic catchy element that is intended for the hook. It is your job to come up with a simple concept that will catch the listener's attention and make them sing or rap along.

The Civil Wars: Daytrotter Session
The Civil Wars are made up of the duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White and they have garnered a lot of attention for their unique vocal blends. The Daytrotter recording session includes music from their debut album "Barton Hollow" as well as a really good take on the song "Disarm" by The Smashing Pumpkins. John and Joy do a fantastic job performing this song. I also really enjoy the piano on their song "C'est La Mort".
For the new listeners out there, you can expect that The Civil Wars will sing to your hopeless romantic side. They do a wonderful job of vocally interacting with each other throughout each song that gives you the sense of the push and pull of a personal relationship. Thanks goes out to both The Civil Wars and the efforts of Daytrotter to bring quality free music to the fans. You can download The Civil Wars session for free by using the Daytrotter link below.

Serialbox Presents - David Ramirez
Well David Ramirez has done it again by finding another way to freely release music to the fans. This time he has been featured as a part of a live music video project from SerialBox Presents. This project is all about recording live music cuts from some seriously good artists in an alternative form (not the CD version). This means live raw music professionally video taped and recorded for music fans. I'm going to have to feature their work with some other artists on here because they have worked with some of my favorite artists. You can get a head start on me by checking out the SerialBox Presents website.
"From the corner of the room, I see David walk up on stage carrying his guitar. He plugged in, put his beer down by the mic stand, and started playing over the chatter and clinking beer bottles. And that is when something truly special happened. By the end of the first verse, half of the room was silent. By the end of the first chorus, the entire room. By the end of the first song, the bartenders stopped serving drinks because the entire bar was on their feet and had moved in towards the stage. Every head was turned, every conversation halted, every eye on him."
The best part of this project for the fans is that the recorded music is available for free download. Like I said, I will have to feature more music from the SerialBox Presents sessions because they produce fantastic work and they record some really incredible music talents. You can download four free tracks from David Ramirez that was recorded during this session on his website, or by using the widget below. Also below you will find a link to the David Ramirez page on the SerialBox site where they post interview questions and give the credits for the video. Fantastic work.

Amazon Music - Get Your Free Music Fix
There are times when I get the urge to hear something new, but then I have no idea what kind of music I am in the mood to listen to. This is when I turn to the wonderful services of Amazon.com. As most of you probably know, Amazon has tons of free music. So much free music I can't get to it all. But I like to occasionally cruise through the top free albums and the top free song downloads.

I found a lot of good music today so I wanted to share some of the free albums with you. Since there were so many, I figured I would break it down by genre and then comment on my favorites. Everyone should be able to find something they like from this list.

So many different sounds coming off of this sampler. It's definitely a free download to check out. I love how the song "Helplessness Blues" by the Fleet Foxes builds throughout the song.

Christos Petropoulos' Found Footage movie Subconscious seems to have taken a bit of a beating off many critics since it's release in 2010.
Whilst most reviewers hated the effort the remainder believed it to be one of the scariest European horror movies available.
Let's take a closer look at it…
Second Coming
This was one of the few Found Footage efforts I had to watch twice before I felt I was ready to review it. The first viewing left me a little confused and the second viewing sort of tied up a few lingering doubts for me.
What I will say is that the film is extremely original and brave in every aspect. I think the media gave it a bit of a rough ride.
The Plot
The film opens up with the declaration that the footage is the property of the Greek police. The matters surrounding the tape are apparently still under investigation.
We are then introduced to Fanis ( Fanis Katrivesis ) who seems to be set up in some sort of bedroom encased in a shrine.
As Fanis talks to the camera he explains that he is constantly plagued by night terrors and this shrine is a way of controlling them.
The film moves on a little confusingly until we arrive at Fanis meeting up with a Eastern European girl, Natalie ( Danijela Radovanovic ). He met Natalie online but shares little about why he is meeting up with her.
They embark on a sort of creepy road trip to the Greek countryside and find themselves at a secluded house in the middle of nowhere. This is where Natalie starts to act rather strangely and the whole plot becomes more than a little twisted…
One of The Scariest European Horror Movies?
At times throughout this movie I felt I had to concentrate more than I'd ever concentrated on a Found Footage film before.
The plot is sort of there in front of us but keeps on being snatched away when we get to close to it.
It did get a little annoying at times but it was a really effective way of keeping the audience gripped.
This style of abstract plot also managed to provide a series of extremely creepy and disturbing moments – I thought this was an excellent move by director Petropoulos.
I fear that this film has once again fallen victim to film critics who just don't get the Found Footage genre. All they see is a low budget horror with very little blood or gore and judge it without even taking a breath.
The film is diabolically unique on every level – not just in the Found Footage genre!
The Greek countryside and the surrounding settings were perfect for the Found Footage format. There were some genuinely frightening and eerie moments throughout.
The conclusion was a real bit of genius in my opinion but I can imagine that many watchers will be left scratching their heads. You have to pay attention to the conversations throughout the process of the film to get a real grasp on the climax.
Decent enough actors, bold and brave plot, great location, decent cinematography and genuinely creepy moments…
Makes you wonder what some critics actually do for a living?
If you like your Found Footage 'straight down the line' and simple this will probably not be your favorite title. However, if you like the diverse and twisted this type of movie may well be right up your street.
It has it's flaws, like many low budget offerings out there. But the flaws are nicely covered over by a royal dose of originality.
I quite enjoyed it!

It's safe to say that I know a thing or two about nuptials. As a wedding photographer with many years' experience and the exclusive partner photographer to both Ellie Sanderson bridal boutiques for the past 10 years, it's safe to say that I know my Suzanne Neville from my Jesus Peiro, my peep toe from my court, and my birdcage (veil!) from my cathedral.
Based in Oxfordshire, my award-winning wedding photography business, David Bostock Photography, is the quintessential choice for the discerning and particular bride who wants to create a set of photographs that evoke beauty, fun and a genuine sense of emotional sincerity.
My work has been praised as 'elegant', 'exceptional' and even 'disarming', but they say a picture's worth a thousand words so I'll let my work do the talking.
In order to devote the proper amount of attention to each wedding, I take a limited number of wedding bookings each year, so always advise booking well in advance of your big day. Looking forward to meeting you.
Award Winning photography
I have photographed over 400 weddings and won over 100 UK and International awards for my wedding photographyover the past 12 years. I have had the pleasure of photographing the weddings of many of the brides who have found 'the one' at one of the Ellie Sanderson gorgeous boutiques.
Most recently, I was awarded the much-coveted Master Photographers Association 'Wedding Day and Celebration' Winner for 2016/2017. I was also named by GoHen as 'One of the Top 50 Wedding Photographers in the UK' for 2016
I am recommended and endorsed by these wedding venues:
- Hedsor House
- Stoke Park Club
- Cliveden House
- Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons
- Caswell House
- Waddesdon Manor
- The Dairy at Waddesdon
- Eynsham Hall
- Ashmolean Museum
- Kirtlington Park
- St Hughes College
- The Great Barn, Aynho
- Poundon House
- The Five Arrows, Waddesdon
- The Langley
But more important than qualifications and awards are the amazing things my clients say when they see their finished results.
As soon as I started my wedding planning I knew that I was looking for a particular style of photography with a contemporary, funky, high end feel to it. I hated the stiff, wooden traditional photography that you often associate with wedding photography so knew that I needed somebody with a quirky, artistic eye. When I met David he completely understood my vision and his gallery blew me away. I had complete trust in him from that initial meeting. On the day David was charming, professional and discreet. We cannot thank David enough for providing us with the most beautiful memories and cannot recommend him highly enough. Absolutely fantastic!

Improving training through engagement
No matter how good online training content is, if learners are not kept engaged it is extremely likely that their attention will be lost. This is where learning activities come in. Learning activities are great tools for refocusing learners, testing their recall, and providing them with an opportunity to apply information they have learned.
Many different types of learning activities exist including gamification, simulations, and examinations. The types of learning activities that you should include in your course depends upon the course audience, the material being taught, and the course length. Based on our experience it's important to include a learning interaction every 5-10 minutes. Just ensure that each interaction reinforces and is relevant to the information covered.
Drag and drop activities require a learner to pick up an object and move it to a new location in order to elicit a response, complete a task, or obtain a correct answer. They are the most common type of game-based activity used to engage learners and reinforce training material.
Matching activities require a learner to make connections between objects. They are great for reinforcing definitions and testing understanding of relationships. Though terms and phrases are common in matching activities, symbols and pictures can be used to add visual interest.
Hot spots are locations on pictures that a learner can hover over, click on, or drop an object onto in order to reveal information or elicit a correct response. Hot spots can require learners to identify objects or merely be used to offer a more engaging way to provide additional information.
Sequencing activities test a learner's ability to place terms, procedures, objects, or images into logical order. Sequencing activities are not only great for testing a learner's recall of step-by step procedures but for providing him or her with an opportunity to practice them as well.
A video-based scenario is a short video clip that ends with a question being posed to the learner. It is up to the learner to determine the best course of action to take for the situation. Once an answer is selected, the video plays out to reveal if the answer chosen was the correct one.
A technical animation is a great tool for making abstract concepts concrete. It is a 2-D or 3-D graphical representation of an object, action, process, or procedure. Technical animations are extremely beneficial when discussing complex training topics.
A decision tree activity challenges a learner by requiring him or her to select an answer from a list of possible choices. Based on the answer selected, the learner will be directed down a tailored learning path. Decision trees are great for learners with varying skill and knowledge levels.
With their ability to be easily and reliably scored, multiple choice questions are useful tools for quickly assessing mastery of specific information.
Utilizing statements to test learners, true or false questions are popular assessment tools that are quick to develop and easy to score.
Tougher than some other assessment types, fill in the blank questions challenge learners further by requiring them to come up with the answer on their own.
To ensure that no two exams are ever the same, each learner can be presented with an exam comprised of questions randomly chosen from a central question pool.

Forget that Julia Roberts as Julia Roberts in "Ocean's Twelve" stunt, this sort of tops that in the self-aware stakes.
As previously reported, Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is set to direct "Magic Mike", a true story feature that revolves around the time in the very late 90's when then unknown "Dear John" and "Step Up" actor Channing Tatum worked as a male stripper at the age of 19.
Reid Carolin is penning the script which chronicles a mentor-protege relationship in which the title character teaches a young dancer in how to hustle on and off the stage.
Now, Deadline reports that "I Am Number Four" and "Beastly" star Alex Pettyfer is set to slip on the thong and grind away at the screen in the role of the young dancer, while Tatum himself will play the titular Mike.
It's not sure if Pettyfer's character would also be called Channing Tatum, but one wouldn't put it past Soderbergh to follow through on such a crazy idea. The tone and mold of the film is said to be akin to "Saturday Night Fever". Tatum, Nick Wechsler, Gregory Jacobs and Reid Carolin are producing.
For an example of what Pettyfer is likely to do, check out this clip of a performance by Tatum back in those days that was splashed all over the news outlets in late 2009.


text: News flash: PEBS academy (in which Peter is the "P") recently celebrated frog day. Older children learned about the life cycle of a frog while the youngest member played with his dump truck. Singing time included "Five little speckled frogs", and children enjoyed playing leap-frog during the festivities. The highlight of the event came when the children traced their hands, cut them out, and glued them to paper plates that had previously been finger-painted to look like frogs. Each frog was given two paper eyes and a pipe-cleaner mouth. Peter was given his frog as the activity is better suited for slightly older children.

Due to a family death I have been away. I have a lot of things to catch up on a lot of fronts. I'll be trying to find out what I missed, and I have an inbox full of items that I'm beginning to mull through.
Thank you to everyone who thought of me and forwarded me news.
It's a NEW DAY. The dirty laundry is being hauled out of the hamper these days. The good ol' days of keeping it under wraps are slipping away. I can see the light of accountabilty like a light at the end of this dark tunnel. More and more police trainers are writing me for permission to use the officer-involved domestic violence [oidv] fatality photoshow during their trainings, more victims are becoming vocal, more victims are getting support, and more reporters and law enforcement agencies are emailing for resources to contact regarding oidv.
MAYBE the best thing of all is that more and more departments are writing up a specific procedural policy to guide them on oidv cases. I am collecting those and plan on adding a section to the OIDVN site posting those policies.
The level of danger to victims has not changed, there is no central office anywhere to oversee these cases or to provide assistance to victims, and the fear and deaths continue.
There is much left to do - but so many more trying to make things better now.
I take heart and press forward with others.

We need good GPs. One saved my child's life
This strike is greedy, but I know why Germany and the US want their own family doctors
It was a small bruise the size of a raisin on my youngest child's stomach. I saw it on a Sunday night and thought he might have banged himself against a table, only it appeared to be growing. I called NHS Direct who suggested arnica and an ice pack for the swelling. He was splashing around in the bath, so I didn't think it was worth dragging all four of my children to A&E to wait until the early hours for him to be seen. But when it started to change colour to a deep plum I rang the surgery's number for an out-of-hours service.
A GP came round within the hour, she smiled reassuringly when she saw our giggling baby. But as soon as…

Well this building caught my eye from a distance. Not only did it look interesting, also rather official with the tower at the harbour end and a diagonal flagstaff protruding from the base of the tower.
I thought it might be a historical harbour navigation building with the flagstaff used to signal instructions to ships entering the harbour below.
To my surprise it was "The Duke of Cornwall Hotel" Built in 1863 with 72 rooms at a cost of £40,000. Back then Bed & Breakfast would have cost you 37.5p and a cold bath 10p (I think I'd go smelly). It was the tower that initially attracted me to the building as I wanted to know why it had been built. To my surprise it was purely for decoration!
I must now describe the harbour. It is based on a bay facing roughly south with a headland at either end. The mouth of the bay has a breakwater with a small fortified island in the middle and a lighthouse at either end. This forces shipping to pass close to the headland and presumably in easy range of the forts. In the middle of the bay, behind the breakwater is a larger fortified island (Drake Island). On the mainland at either end of the Hoe are more fortified positions. The Royal Citadel to the East and another naval fort in the West. At the extreme western end is the mouth to the river. There are marinas at either end beyond the forts.
Looking Northwest towards the Hoe from the fortifications at the Western end of the harbour.
Drake Island. The breakwater is behind it.
Photo taken over the top of Drake Island. The small fort in the centre of the breakwater can be seen with shipping on the horizon.

WEEE Regulations
From the 1st July 2007 the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 (the WEEE Regulations) came into effect in the UK. The aim of the regulations is to reduce the amount of WEEE going to landfill for disposal. This will be achieved by promoting the separate collection of WEEE and its re-use, recycling, recovery and environmentally sound disposal. This approach saves energy, resources and avoids hazardous materials from going to landfill.
Any product that requires electricity or batteries to enable it to perform its primary function would be classed as electrical or electronic equipment (EEE); everyday examples would be a watch or an alarm clock.
Products which are classed as EEE and are covered by the regulations must display a crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product; or if this is not possible the symbol must be displayed on the packaging, the instruction leaflet and the warranty. Products displaying a black bar beneath the wheeled bin denote EEE placed upon the market after the 13th August 2005; products without the black bar are placed on the market prior to the 13th August 2005.
This symbol allows you to identify WEEE products and dispose of them separately from other household waste when it reaches the end of its useful life.
From the 1st July 2017 R T Jewellery Ltd will provide a Free of Charge 'take back' service to our customers for your old WEEE products on a like for like basis when you purchase a new item of EEE from us. This offer applies to new EEE that is purchased directly from our shop.
The WEEE product will then be collected, re-used, recycled or recovered in an environmentally sound manner.

Edible gold leaf is really a luxury garnish; it could possibly be utilized to pay for confectionery items. Sugar candy may be covered completely in gold, or it may be flecked softly with real gold leaf to boost the appearance as well as to communicate a feeling of luxury.
Genuine gold leaf garnishes do not add or remove from the flavor of this dish whatsoever; they are utilized entirely due to their visual appeal.
Utilizing gold foliage in luxury gourmet trainings
> Luxury confectionery items such as special-occasion desserts and cakes also use edible gold leaf garnishes. The golden leaf used in those requires to be real and unalloyed, unlike that used in jewellery or other decorative, non-edible purposes.
> Edible leaf garnishes are increasingly being utilized by experienced chefs as well as comparative novices at cooking and bakery. As is true with most technical components, this foliage also has to be utilized with some ability and experience.
> Edible gold comprises highly purified gold alloy brought down to the thickness of a few microns across. One careless or confused touch is that it needs to be displaced or have dropped on the user's skin or adhere to an unintended place on your gourmet dish or confection or candies.
> Edible gold is also available in flake form. However, the sheet shape is more practical when covering larger surface locations. The flake kind can come in more practical when decorating surfaces with pieces and flakes of gold, or to provide an overall shimmer. Special-occasion beverages such as champagne and specialty desserts or wines can be flecked with edible gold flakes.
> Because it is made of real gold alloy, edible leaf preparations are used as garnishes. A garnish is normally the final decorative touch awarded into a dish, until it's served. This rule works for golden foliage as well, because though it is an inert metal, devices such as microwave ovens may react to its shimmering surface if meals utilizing edible metal foliage is cooked in it.
Ingesting gold foliage
Such leaf is a non-reactive inclusion since gold is an aluminum alloy. However, to be used in raw preparations, it has to be as purified as possible. For this reason, gold of some top carat value is usually utilized in edible foliage preparations. Gold of carat value of 22 to 24 is considered pure enough to be used for edible purposes.
In this case, it is consumed by the body . It can be impossible to recognize genuine gold leaf by simply looking at it. Since touching raw gold or silver leaf is near impossible since it will stick to your fingers, the next best step to take would be to buy it from a trusted source.
If you are catering to an eclectic guest list, then you may choose to make sure that the edible gold leaf you are purchasing is kosher or halal certified as well. You may locate leaf sheet packaged in the form of many sheets inside a leaflet. Sizes may vary, but usually, edible foliage will probably be around or less compared to 0.13 microns in breadth.

I know it cost money but a another litter bin in the more senior part of the play area might reduce the amount of rubbish your team has to pick up. Thus saving time and manpower cost's.

Birth Time Rectification – The Chandra Navamsa Paddathi (System) – Part 1 & 2
By Saptarishis Astrology
Editors: Helen Patterson, USA & M Imran, Pakistan.
With Obeisance to my Guru Late Shri C.S. Patel, who was based in Mumbai and to my Mentor, who is based in New Delhi, I submit this work at their holy feet, and request them to accept it and bless it. It has been nearly three years since we wrote an editorial or presented a complete system of prediction (paddathi).
Birth time rectification is one of the toughest areas in astrology, but at the same time, one of the biggest money making spinners, especially for the Gurus of today. If one notices existing rectification practices, one feels that past Gurus and the modern ones have not given us much to work upon. As a result, every new entrant in astrology wastes a lot of time on it without knowing any rectification method with entirety. Then there are quantitative birth time rectification techniques, found in astrology classics, and also replicated in modern books. However, there is no substantial way to determine practical effectiveness of mathematical rectification technique. Many authors and researchers hold that quantitative birth time rectification methods, like pranapada etc. do not yield satisfactory outcome, probably because there is no way to counter-checking them.
Tattva rectification method, advocated by late Shri Subba Rao is considered a reliable way. However, its reliability has not yet been researched with the help of birth data sample that is accurately recorded and duly certified by astrological institutes. Most of us are following it unscientifically.
Thumb impression is the best methods of birth time rectification. However, only 4 experts in India are known to know about it, one of the best among them was the Late Narendra Desai, a great legend in USA, but unknown in India. Another finest and practical method is rectification through tallying life events with dasha and gochar. Amongst the popular writers, Shri K.N. Rao has stressed upon it. Event based rectification systems are tricky, especially when dasha is used to verify the life-events, since dasha are open to diverse interpretation and variations.
Event based rectifications on the basis of Shastiamsa (D60) is quite dependable. The D60 chart changes approximately after every 2 minutes. Sometimes back, a chart of a western astrologer was seen by the scribe. In her D60, Libra was ascendant, while Saturn the 4L of property was sitting in the 8H from Asc, and 4H having A8 (inheritance). It was predicted to her whether she got an inheritance during 51st year. She replied in affirmative, also since from Moon lagna in D60, Saturn was the 6L. So it was asked whether inheritance sharing was a long-drawn battle, to which she replied in the affirmative again. It means her D60 ascendant is fairly accurate. One knows by using BSP techniques: wherever Saturn sits, it implements its energies in the 51st year. This is the event based verification, but one has to use numerous methods to arrive at the same conclusion.
If we are honest to ourselves and admit our lack of perfect knowledge only then can we strive to get the truth out of any chart, since the chart finally speaks back to the one with the honest heart and tells you how the planets will give the result in that chart. The biggest mistake most astrology students commit is to land up learning astrology for two to five years, and assume that their own birth time is not accurate based on their limited experience. We have also seen some people spending decades of their lives, paying out thousands of dollars, and going from Jyotish Guru to another, just in order to dig out their correct and real time of birth. During the last one decade, we have observed so many astrology aspirants to have committed the same mistake. The thick amount of money and precious time could have been spent in donations, welfare work, and earning better karma, rather than spending on hundreds of astrologers. The point (which no astrologer admits honestly) is that even after twenty to thirty years of experience in astrology, we lack proficiency of correctly predict a dasa and gochar, or understand yogas[1]. In this situation, how can we decide if a birth chart is correct or not, finally we end up rectifying the birth chart or the ayanamsa, although it might not be needed.
Since nearly a decade, this scribe has rigorously worked on birth time rectification using the Shastiamsa (D60) methods, a part of it was revealed for the first time to the Jyotish community through series of articles called 'Secrets of Shastiamsa', published in year 2010/2011 in Saptarishis Astrology magazine. Like the Shastiamsa method where BCP (Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi) and BSP (Bhrighu Saral Paddathi) methods were combined, we have developed 4 more independent methods. One of which we have taught in our Nadi classes conducted in Mumbai. In one of those techniques, by seeing a chart within three seconds a good astrologer can predict an event and year of its occurrence. If native confirms it, then the birth time is accurate to the minute. In the Nadi Classes and in the SA Mumbai Club, we have tested so many blind charts through the 3 second method.
The olden astrologers' trump card is to fix the ascendant with the help of characteristics of the body, appearance, face etc. This technique, though accepted widely in India, is open to interpretation, and sometime does not match the test of time. Fixing ascendant through physical appearance and temperament may be misleading. For instance, Rajiv Gandhi's janma lagna was earlier suggested Cancer by senior astrologers due to soumya (calm) appearance of native. However, later it was discovered that Rajiv Gandhi was a case of Leo lagna, despite the fact he did not show the dominance of a Leo, despite having so many planets in his Leo ascendant.
Birth Time Rectification
What if we can pin point one planet, say Moon, in the Navamsa chart and fix it to a particular house, and be sure that it can only be in that very house and nowhere else. In this situation, could we be sure of the Navamsa Lagna?
This article focuses on the Moon's Navamsa position only, then observing its sign, its house, its dispositor and aspects and seeing if an event concerning all the above happened in a specific year as per the table listed below. Position of the Moon contains seeds of past life specific karma[2], the nakshatra Moon is placed in contains the highest secrets which has not come out so far unfortunately. Hence the Moons Navamsa position is a more specific point which cannot be ignored and this has been mentioned in ChandraKala Nadi (Devakeralam) translated by R Santhanam and a classic on which Late C S Patel worked for many decades.
Moon's Sign & Event Year
Following is the table extracted from a Nadi work. Moon's Navamsa Rasi Aries is 28th year, Moon's Navamsa Rasi Taurus is 29th year, and Gemini is 30, and so on up to Pisces that stands for 39th year.
|Moon's Navamsa and Nadi Age
|Moon's Nav. Sign
|Nadi Age
|28th year
Use only this cycle to check the birth time rectification, though at the end we would give one more example that goes beyond the cycle, but if you want to master this technique then use this cycle only to start with.
What happens if someone is not remembering the events between 28th to 39th years? What happens if one gets a chart where the age of the native is below 28 (say just 24 years) then how we can use this system? It will be shown in another table after the set of 7-8 odd examples. This whole article is Part 1 & 2 and Part 3 of the methodology which is an independent system of prediction to be used irrespective of the Moon will be revealed soon.
This system is not perfect, as will be shown in the very first example, that chart will be taken once again at the end of this article. This is just one of the tools that one must use along with other methods and many more events. Only then you come to the right conclusion.
Defining Nadi Age
Indians do not make a mistake in this, but Westerners do make a mistake due to the different counting systems prevalent in their countries.
From zero month of birth till 12th month of birth – the nadi age is 1st year. It means you are in your first year. A Westerner would give the age by stating how many months have passed since the birth, i.e. my child is six months old. In India, we say the child is in his 1st year or running his first year.
Broadly speaking it's like this:
|Nadi Age – Indian Counting
|1st Day (birth date)
|365 days
|1st year
|1 year 1 day
|1 year 364 days
|2nd year
|2nd year 1 day
|2nd year 364 days
|3rd year
How to Use The Table
So if your Moon Navamsa is in Aries, in the 5H of Navamsa chart then events related to 5H of love/education, and the yogas in that house/planet associated or the aspects it receives, the lordships of the respective planets will work and give an event. If Moon is in the 2H in Pisces, then at the age of 39th, that is in the 39th year of the native some events concerning 2H of family, finances can happen.
Chart 1: Mukesh
- Now see Moon is in Aries Navamsa in the 7H of secondary house of profession, it is 10L of career also and is conjoint with Jupiter the 6L of job.
- Jupiter signifies banking (authority ref. Phaladeepika, initial chapter by Gopesh Kumar Ojha).
- In the 28th year he got a job in SBI bank, the biggest bank of India on 5th Jan 2009 when he was running the 28th year which would be from March 2008 to March 2009.
At the end of this part we would take up this chart again to see the Warning as mentioned before.
Chart 2: PD ref Devas
- Moon is in Gemini in 8H, so 30th year which would be from Feb 2006 to Feb 2007.
- So the possibilities are if sex happened in that year or some depression (Rahu's 9th aspect) or relationship and depression.
- We asked the above possibilities and the message received that the girl went into major depression since she had gotten a marriage proposal of an Indian Canadian dentist and things were set. Then the boy's girlfriend once picked up the phone call (between boy and this female native). The boy's girlfriend said to her to leave the boy and break the engagement. The engagement broke, and she went into major depression. Here the boy did not tell the truth that he had a girlfriend.
- One can see on hindsight that Moon is in Gemini with A5 (arudha of 5H signifying mind) in 8H of depressions, aspected by Rahu and Mars, besides opposition of Saturn, Jupiter and Venus. Furthermore, Moon's lord Mercury has gone in the 6H of separation along with Ketu (giving break in relationships).
Chart 3: R Dev
- In Navamsha, Moon is in Pisces in 4H, along with Venus the 6L and 11L.
- The 8L Moon is aspected by Rahu from 12H of separation, where Rahu is co-lord of Aquarius (3H).
- Pisces denotes 39th year as per the table above, which in her case would be from Jan 2013 to Jan 2014.
- She was asked if she bought a house or anything to do with the house or some loan for house. She said she bought a costly property in a posh area (Venus) having lot of beautiful amenities, and it was on loan along with her husband (11L of spouse).
- She was asked whether there were troubles to her mother (Moon is 8L in 4H of mother), or some chronic problems to her mother, she replied yes. Native's mother was detected with osteoporosis and spondolysis and rheumatism.
- She was asked whether any dispute with her siblings especially brothers happened in that year (age 39). Note dispositor of Mars is Rahu/Saturn and retrograde Saturn's aspects in turn back to the Mars (Late J.N. Bhasin method published in 1978 or 1979 September issue of B.V. Raman's Astrological Magazine, as per memory). Here Rahu also aspects the Moon. She confirmed that a quarrel occurred between her brothers. Since then (around 1.5 years), she has not spoken to her elder brother. Note 3H is not merely stands for younger siblings, but denotes all siblings. Note Venus is dispositor of a debilitated Sun (11H), and this Venus is in the 4H of property. The present cost of said property is nearing 1 crore rupees (about quarter of a million US dollar).
- She was asked whether any event related to her son's education happened this year. This was inquired because Moon's dispositor is Jupiter. And Jupiter is in the 5H (children) along with retrograde Saturn – the 2L of early education. She said yes, her son was enrolled for the first time for a formal schooling, but this event happened with ifs and buts. In fact, the earlier school, they had applied in, had rejected them. Then they took him to another school and after 1 month they called back saying seat is available. So she removed from that school and took him to the one which had earlier rejected them.
Chart 4: N Bs Daughter
- Moon is in 3H in Virgo Navamsa. Hence 33rd should be important. Age 33 corresponding to Virgo spans from October 2012 to October 2013.
- Native's mother was asked whether her daughter had some short travels. The mother replied yes, out of the city short travels. Moon's dispositor (Mercury) is in 9H of bhagya with Saturn – the 7L of public recognition and name. Mercury is also aspected by Mars – 10L of career.
- She informed that her daughter (native) also got an award for her work and bhagyodaya (prosperity) opened up.
Chart 5: Ref 4 San Jha
- Moon is in 4H in Gemini Rasi which is 30th year as per given above Nadi table.
- In 30th year, native begotten a female child (became mother).
- Moon is 5L of children in 4H of home, so in house a child was born. For gender of child, see Moon is the dispositor of Venus , and associated with 2L Mars and 11L Saturn. Keep in mind 11H also stands for children (BPHS, Chapter 11, Shloka 11, says 11H denotes spouse and children).
Chart 6: Na B
- Moon is in Mesha Navamsa in 2H. This is equal to 28th
- Note Moon is in 2H of wealth and acquisitions and associated with Jupiter who is the dispositor of the 4L of home and property. Mars – dispositor of Moon – is sitting in 10H and aspects 4H of property (Mars is also a karaka of property).
- This same Mars also aspects the 4L lord Mercury. So there are prospects of gain of property and this lady bought a house. Since Mars is 2L, therefore some financial gain also obtained.
Chart 7: Ref 1 San Jha
- Moon is in Gemini Navamsa in 11H. The Gemini Navamsa is 30th
- In the 30th year native got married.
- 11h is the house of spouse/child (as per BPHS chapter 11 Shloka 11). The 11L Mercury is in the 1H (of the 1/7 axis of marriage) in the Rahu Ketu axis thereby giving possibility of marriage. The native was asked whether the native felt it was a very karmic marriage, and he replied in the affirmative.
Chart 8: A Ban & A Failure
- Moon is in 4H in Cancer with Ketu, Karka as per our table signifies 31st year which would be from Oct 2012 to Oct 2013. It being in the and receiving aspect of only Saturn and Mars we asked the native "I have some events but can u let me know if any events concerning 4H happened in the 31st year that means events concerning 4H – property, residence shift, mothers health or anything to do with mother etc etcâ€
- The native replied "From October 2012 to October 2013, I was in my hometown and did studies related to certified financial planner and successfully completed this tough course in June 2013. Mother was fine and no problems. But in July 2012 (31st year), my dad had both knee replacement operation from which he successfully recovered.â€
- This shows the failure in our prediction yet we have often repeated in the Nadi Classes in Mumbai, "Whenever you pin point a house via any system always first check 6th, 8th, 12th from it to get the worst events instantly.â€
- On hindsight of this failure if we see from the 4H of the focus of Moons Navamsa Rasi, the 6th house of diseases would be 9th house of father, the 8th house from 9H of father would be the 4H of Moons Navamsa Rasi indicating 31st Mars the 12L (doctors/hospitals) from 9H of father and signifying operations is aspecting 4H containing Moons Navamsa Rasi, thus his father had an operation.
In hindsight all kinds of justification can be done and it is a failure but we also cannot forget the engineer who made a BMW car can never drive it like Michael Schumacher & without that engineer no one would have even heard of Michael Schumacher.
Chart 1 : Mukesh
This system is not perfect as will be shown in the very first example is what we had mentioned at the start of this article. This is just one of the tools that one must use, combining it with other methods, by evaluating more events and then come to the correct conclusion. Let's see the first chart again and then change the birth time by adding 9 minutes for D9 Lagna to change.
Original Navamsa
Explanation that was given in earlier part of this article is reproduced below:
- Now see Moon is in Aries Navamsa in the 7H of secondary house of profession, it is 10L of career also and is conjoint with Jupiter the 6L of job.
- Jupiter signifies banking (authority ref Phaladeepika initial chapter by Gopesh Kumar Ojha).
- In the 28th year he got job in SBI bank, the biggest bank of India on 5th Jan 2009 when he was running the 28th year which would be from March 2008 to March 2009.
New Navamsa by adding 9 minutes to birth time
Now see the new explanation:
- Moon is in Aries Navamsa in 6H and Aries navamsa is 28th He got job in 28th year, as Moon is in 6H of job service, Jupiter is the 5L of new job placed in 6H along with being 2L of money (banking) and Jupiter signifies bank too.
So you see with both the Navamsas, one can easily do post mortem analysis and justify the method or even do correct prediction on a wrong navamsa ascendant chart and say that 'I was able to predict so chart is correct and so is my technique'.
Our approach should be to use not just one but multiple techniques of birth time rectification and then come to conclusion.
Part 2
Query 1: What happens if someone is not remembering the events between 28th year to 39th year, what happens if one gets a chart where the age of the native is only say 24 then how do we use this system will be shown in just one example, below.
Query 2: What happens if someone is 60 years old and he or she does not remember events from 28th year to 39th year but will be more likely to remember 58th year event, how does the table progress ? Answer is it will be shown below with an advanced table.
Chart 1: N Bs Son
- Now see Moon is in Aquarius Navamsa, as per our original table it denotes 38th year but the native has not yet crossed 38th years, so refer to the above table, there it shows for Aq age 26 also. The age 26 spans from November 2011 to November 2012.
- Since Moon is in Aquarius in 9H, therefore 26th year something to do with Bhagya can happen.
- Moon in 9H of Bhagyodaya, but with Rahu and aspected by Saturn from 7H, 3rd aspect (travel/death etc).
- He set up his workshop (for designer cars) so bhagyodaya happened. But there occurred many other events simultaneously: long-time girlfriend shifted to Canada, break in relationships (7H Saturn), he went into depression (Moon Rahu together), and his mother took loan (Moon is in 6th house from 4H of mother) to set up his workshop business.
Chart 2: SM
Now Moon is in Virgo and as per the expanded table you get 21st and 33rd year. Obviously same event cannot repeat twice, but broad theme might repeat depending on yoga active then, dasa active and transits which would differ in the 12 year period.
21st year of native – May 1993 to May 1994
- Moon is in Virgo in the 7H of relationships, the lord of Virgo is Mercury who is placed in 6H of separation, conjoint 12L of separation Saturn and Rahu.
- The native had a relationship but got separated out of it, the depression of it set his studies back and he barely passed, although earlier he was the topper in his engineering college.
33rd year of native – May 2005 to May 2006
- Moon is obviously placed in Virgo in the 7H of relationships, same explanations as above and the native had a relationship with a foreigner (rahu) which broke and he left his job (6H) where he was working abroad (12H Saturn and rahu).
In both cases you can see that there was a relationship and it broke.
Chart 3: A M
Note Moon Navamsa Rasi is in Leo, so the ages active are 20, 32, 44.
Moon is in the 12H in D9, with 9L Venus who is also 2L of family and finances, Moon itself is 11H of gains, Ketu is 3L of travel and owns efforts via own hands, then 12L Sun is in 9H (parivartana between 9th and 12th) with 6L Saturn who in turn aspects 3H of travels.
Indication of something to do with Venus (wife or monies) , Ketu (losses or accidents), vehicle (ketu is dispositor of Mars & at the same time Mars is aspecting Moon Navamsa Rasis lord Sun) and finances (11L in 12H and 2L in 12H) can happen at the age of 20, 32, 44.
20th year would be from March 1981 to 1982, earlier he had started a chemical line business with his uncle in the 18th year, he vaguely remembers it as around the 20th year he had to close down this business as it was going into huge losses.
32nd year would be from March 93 to March 94, he does not remember what happened but vaguely remembers that after the stock market scam that hit India, he had to sell of his gold, sell off his wife's gold, all his investments were sold, he remembers it as 1993 but does not remember now which month he had to sell it.
44th year would be from March 2005 to March 2006, on 5th Nov 2005 he had a very bad accident as he was driving on the ghats (hills), his car was in a turn and there was oil on the road, his car skid, hit a truck and his wife who was in the car became unconscious and was hospitalised and could not move out of the bed for 1.5 months. He seems to remember some losses of financial nature in this year but cannot remember the month now.
It took 2 days & 5 phone calls (from this scribe to native) for the native to remember these incidents and refer his dairy, most of us do not remember in detail events in our life and then we proclaim a technique is not working.
This Part 2 method has not been aggressively tested by this scribe due to many natives not remembering what happened in their lives.
Either similar events or symbolically similar events would happen in the 12 year gap, if two or more planets are involved which always is the case since Moon in a sign would mean one thing and its lord in some other sign would mean another. So as per Desh Kala Patra, one type of event in one cycle and another type of event in another cycle can happen. At the same time the yoga for serious relationships on an average is from say 20 to 45 and two cycles can happen in that but after that whenever the 12 year cycle goes ahead then some other event concerning that house will happen since a house shows not just two or three but several significations (types of events) depending on one's dasa and transit the results will change.
On the last note in Part 3 will reveal another complete system of prediction based on this method only but an independent method. Readers are requested to test this technique aggressively over 20-30 charts before accepting or rejecting it. When we use a technique on each and every chart for 10 years the amount of perfection we get it phenomenal, only 10 techniques is what an astrologer requires that he has perfected by using it repeatedly over thousands of charts, any client wants only 10 predictions from you and he becomes your client forever.
[1] 95 % of the astrologers do not go beyond the 300 yogas mentioned in Dr Ramans book, what about the 100,000 yogas collected by a Nagpur based astrologer in hindi, will we ever read it or forget mastering it since mastering 300 yogas in itself is not possible. – SA Editor
[2] Vague references can be found in Karma Vipak Samhita, a discourse between Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati, few chapters of it SA has published earlier. – SA Editor

In the coming days, we'll count down Austin's 10 biggest stories of the year as chosen by American-Statesman reporters and editors.
We'll unveil one story each day Dec. 23 through Jan. 1 here at All Ablog Austin.
But first, here are five stories that made our headlines but somehow didn't make our top 10. No offense to these stories; it was just that newsy of a year in Central Texas.
Summer without Blue Bell
A deadly listeria outbreak caused the Brenham-based creamery to pull its popular ice cream from the shelves nationwide. We all screamed for ice cream. By fall, the iconic Texas treat was returning to stores.
Jade Helm
Bastrop became Ground Zero for paranoia about a military takeover in plain sight when the U.S. Army came to town to discuss its plans for Jade Helm 15. In the end, the exercises occurred over the summer and pretty much nothing happened.
Abbott and the Legislature
Greg Abbott was sworn in as Texas governor and Dan Patrick as lieutenant governor. The Texas Legislature approved more money for highways and border security, cut taxes for businesses and property owners and allowed those with concealed-handgun licenses to carry their weapons openly and to carry them on college campuses.
Austin gets a new mayor and a new City Council
Austin's newly constructed City Council, with 10 members elected from geographic districts plus a mayor, took office along with first-term Mayor Steve Adler. Big issues for the council included an expanded homestead exemption for property owners, rules for ridesharing companies and short-term rental regulations.
Waco biker shootout
A Sunday afternoon in Central Texas turned into a bloodbath when rival biker gangs squared off in a gunbattle with each other and with police in Waco. The territorial dispute between the Cossacks and the Bandidos left nine people dead and 170 arrested.

Vikas ends boxing gold drought
Vikas Krishan ended Indian boxing's 12-year-old gold medal drought in the Asian Games by winning the lightweight (60kg) title but Dinesh Kumar (81kg) settled for the silver after losing in the finals in Guanghou on Thursday.
India had not won a boxing gold at the Asiad since 1998 when the flamboyant Dingko Singh fetched the bantamweight top honours and it took a little known teenager from Haryana to break the jinx.
The 18-year-old Vikas stunned defending champion Qing Hu of China 5-4 in the lightweight 60kg final that was low on thrill as the Indian decided to play defensive.
World Youth champion and a bronze-medallist at the inaugural Youth Olympics, Vikas kept a shell guard which ultimately proved impregnable for his rival.
With scores tied 1-1 at the end of the first three minutes, Hu pushed Vikas out of sheer frustration in the second round and was handed a warning which cost him crucial two points.
The warning ultimately proved decisive as the two boxers could manage just one scoring punch each in the final round, which was just enough for Vikas to repeat Dingko's feat.

Dinesh Kumar settles for silver
However, Dinesh proved no match for defending champion Uzbek Elshod Rasulov and lost 4-10.
The Arjuna awardee was on the backfoot from the word go as Rasulov took the attack to him with a combination of powerful bodyblows and well-timed jabs.
Dinesh's attempted uppercuts could neither break Rasulov's defence nor fetch him any points.
Leading 1-0 in the opening round, Rasulov went on a rampage in the next two rounds and Dinesh found it extremely tough to keep pace with the proceedings.
Olympic and World Championship bronze-medallist Vijender Singh (75kg), V Santhosh Kumar (64kg) and Manpreet Singh (91kg) are the other three Indian boxers who would be fighting for gold on Friday.

Ashwini wins gold in women's 400m hurdle
Ashwini Chidananda clocked a personal best 56.15sec to clinch an unexpected gold medal for India in the women's 400m hurdles event.
The 23-year-old is a 400m and 4X400m relay runner specialist and was part of the team that won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games last month.
Ashwini, who started running 400m hurdle in May at the National Open Athletic meet in Kochi, is only the third Indian to win a gold medal in this category.
MD Valsamma was the first Indian woman to win the 400m hurdles in 1982 New Delhi Asiad, while the legendary PT Usha repeated the show in 1986 at Seoul.
While Ashwini raced away with her first international individual gold medal in 400m hurdle, her compatriot Jauna Murmu was not so lucky as she missed the bronze by a whisker after clocking a personal best of 56.88.
Jauna was 0.05 points behind third-placed Satomi Kubokura of Japan. Chinese Wang Xing won the silver.

Joseph Abraham fetches gold in 400m men's hurdles
Joseph Abraham clocked a season's best of 49.96sec to clinch the gold medal for India in the men's 400m hurdles event.
The 29-year-old Indian's effort was, however, still short of the national record of 49.51sec he set during the 2007 World Championships in Osaka.
The silver went to Saudi Arabia's Bandar Yahya Sharahili, who clocked 50.29sec.
Japan's Naohiro Kawakita settled for the bronze medal with a timing of 50.37sec.

Matsko wins gold, bronze for Luka
India also got a bronze medal, fetched by Usha protege Tintu Luka, who could not sustain her front-running and flagged on the home stretch to finish third behind Margarita Matsko of Kazakhstan and Truong Thanh Hang of Vietnam.
Tintu clocked two minutes, 1.36 seconds, which is not her personal best as she has clocked under two minutes in her career.
Meanwhile, Matsko, timed a personal best 2:00.29, to take the gold.
The silver was taken by Hang, also with her career-best 2:00.91.
Tintu's compatriot and more experienced runner Sinimole Paulose came in seventh in 2:06.95.

Quality is the Higgs Field of Data/
Recently on Twitter, Daragh O Brien replied to my David Weinberger quote "The atoms of data hook together only because they share metadata," by asking "So, is Quality Data the Higgs Boson of Information Management?"
I responded that Quality is the Higgs Boson of Data and Information since Quality gives Data and Information their Mass (i.e., their Usefulness).
"Now that is profound," Daragh replied.
"That's cute and all," Brian Panulla interjected, "but you can't measure Quality. Mass is objective. It's more like Weight — a mass in context."
I agreed with Brian's great point since in a previous post I explained the often misunderstood difference between mass, an intrinsic property of matter based on atomic composition, and weight, a gravitational force acting on matter.
Using these concepts metaphorically, mass is an intrinsic property of data, representing objective data quality, whereas weight is a gravitational force acting on data, thereby representing subjective data quality.
But my previous post didn't explain where matter theoretically gets its mass, and since this scientific mystery was radiating in the cosmic background of my Twitter banter with Daragh and Brian, I decided to use this post to attempt a brief explanation along the way to yet another data quality analogy.
As you have probably heard by now, big scientific news was recently reported about the discovery of the Higgs Boson, which, since the 1960s, the Standard Model of particle physics has theorized to be the fundamental particle associated with a ubiquitous quantum field (referred to as the Higgs Field) that gives all matter its mass by interacting with the particles that make up atoms and weighing them down. This is foundational to our understanding of the universe because without something to give mass to the basic building blocks of matter, everything would behave the same way as the intrinsically mass-less photons of light behave, floating freely and not combining with other particles. Therefore, without mass, ordinary matter, as we know it, would not exist.
Ping-Pong Balls and Maple Syrup
I like the Higgs Field explanation provided by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw. "Imagine you are blindfolded, holding a ping-pong ball by a thread. Jerk the string and you will conclude that something with not much mass is on the end of it. Now suppose that instead of bobbing freely, the ping-pong ball is immersed in thick maple syrup. This time if you jerk the thread you will encounter more resistance, and you might reasonably presume that the thing on the end of the thread is much heavier than a ping-pong ball. It is as if the ball is heavier because it gets dragged back by the syrup."
"Now imagine a sort of cosmic maple syrup that pervades the whole of space. Every nook and cranny is filled with it, and it is so pervasive that we do not even know it is there. In a sense, it provides the backdrop to everything that happens."
Mass is therefore generated as a result of an interaction between the ping-pong balls (i.e., atomic particles) and the maple syrup (i.e, the Higgs Field). However, although the Higgs Field is pervasive, it is also variable and selective, since some particles are affected by the Higgs Field more than others, and photons pass through it unimpeded, thereby remaining mass-less particles.
Quality — Data Gets Higgy with It
Now that I have vastly oversimplified the Higgs Field, let me Get Higgy with It by attempting an analogy for data quality based on the Higgs Field. As I do, please remember the wise words of Karen Lopez: "All analogies are perfectly imperfect."
Quality provides the backdrop to everything that happens when we use data. Data in the wild, independent from use, is as carefree as the mass-less photon whizzing around at the speed of light, like a ping-pong ball bouncing along without a trace of maple syrup on it. But once we interact with data using our sticky-maple-syrup-covered fingers, data begins to slow down, begins to feel the effects of our use. We give data mass so that it can become the basic building blocks of what matters to us.
Some data is affected more by our use than others. The more subjective our use, the more we weigh data down. The more objective our use, the less we weigh data down. Sometimes, we drag data down deep into the maple syrup, covering data up with an application layer, or bottling data into silos. Other times, we keep data in the shallow end of the molasses swimming pool.
Quality is the Higgs Field of Data. As users of data, we are the Higgs Bosons — we are the fundamental particles associated with a ubiquitous data quality field. By using data, we give data its quality. The quality of data can not be separated from its use any more than the particles of the universe can be separated from the Higgs Field.
The closest data equivalent of a photon, a ping-pong ball particle that doesn't get stuck in the maple syrup of the Higgs Field, is Open Data, which doesn't get stuck within silos, but is instead data freely shared without the sticky quality residue of our use.

"Well this position doesn't seem compromising at all".
A logo is an image that is supposed to be the representation of an organization. The logo's job is to give off the same energy you would want people to receive when you describe the company or organization it represents. That being said, it is quite astonishing that there are actually people out there that are willing, and more importantly bold enough to, post a logo design job somewhere in the price range of $100. Some even are bold enough to disrespect the creative community even more by going as low as $50, some lower than that. – – more

The Gift of Slowing Down/
I live in Connecticut and we are on the back end of the big storm, Blizzard of 2015. While it did not impact us as badly as the weather people had forecast we surely got our share of snow, at least a foot or more, and the high winds that howled through the night.
Upon waking this morning, the beauty that awaited me outside was breathtaking. And my soul soared at the thought of a unquestionable slow day. Obviously Mother Nature had gifted me with this delight. With no cars allowed on Connecticut roads, the driveway with drifts rising to three feet and the snow still coming down I headed back to the warmth of a hot cup of coffee and got ready to settle in.
Most days, life is full and busy. While I pay close attention to the natural rhythms of my day and my life, there is a certain outer influence that is dictated by schedules, clients, calendars and the like. But today, all that is placed aside.
Today will be a day of a long walk in the silence that freshly fallen snow brings. Today will be the chance to sit by the fire, favorite book in hand and cat curled at my feet. Today will be hot soup for lunch with fresh corn bread from the oven.
Today will also be a day of reflection. A beautiful opportunity to bring my focus on the moment. To bring deliberate intention to what I am engaged in this winter season. It will be a day to pause and really appreciate the abundance in my life, the beauty that surrounds me and to bring calming energies to my intentions and dreams.
Blessings, Lisa

Raghuram Rajan will present his last monetary policy on August 9 as governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
And as the curtains fall on his eventful three years in office – his term ends in September — the former IMF chief economist would leave on a high note as the government last week accepted a retail inflation target of 4%.
The move vindicates Rajan's policies on a no-holds-barred strategy to rein in prices and keep inflation well below interest rates on fixed deposits.
The approach, which won him few supporters and in fact, helped the din against his re-appointment, also underscores the government's tacit agreement that the environment is not conducive for a rate cut. That is probably what will happen on Tuesday too.
The third bi-monthly monetary policy for this fiscal will likely retain the repo rate — the rate at which banks borrow short-term funds from RBI — at 6.5% as retail inflation is still above RBI's targeted level.
According to the central bank's own projections, consumer price index (CPI)-based inflation should come down to 5% by January 2017 and anchor in at 4% by March 2018. So, chances of a rate cut even in the remaining part of 2016-17 look remote.
What is now important is to know what will be left on the plate for Rajan's successor.
For starters, there is the formation of the monetary policy committee (MPC) that Rajan feels can institutionalise the mechanism of setting interest rates. The composition that saw initial run-ins with the government, will now be equally divided between the central bank and the government, with the RBI governor having the casting vote. "This creates an institution that many other countries have adopted, which India was slow to adopt," Rajan had said during a recent meeting of central bankers.
Much has been written about Rajan's efforts to rid the banking system of the huge bad loans it had taken upon itself. In the past two years, RBI has asked banks to recognise bad loans early on and make provisions for them, besides rolling out debt restructuring exercises.
But the central bank is still striving uphill. There is still much to be done and much more to do to make companies and banks take harsh decisions.
Bank licence is another area where RBI has a lot to cover. While it has successfully kept away large business houses from owning banks, small finance banks and payments banks are yet to develop. The latter has already seen teething problems with shortlisted applicants abandoning their ventures on grounds of viability — enough to prompt RBI to issue veiled warnings of penalties. But screening of applicants and selecting serious players is less than half the battle; use of technology to allow the poor to transfer money, at low costs, is a big task.
Then there are areas such as the bond market and financial inclusion. But the biggest feature of Rajan's legacy and one that the new governor will have to carry forward, is to strengthen RBI's independence. The role of the financial regulator will also have to be aligned with financial sector reforms. That would be one of the biggest items on the plate.

Everyday Ideas for Baby Play
By Kim Ross
We all know that one of the most important jobs of a baby is to PLAY! It helps them to learn about their world and is crucial for their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. I know that I overthought play as a young mother. I would feel overwhelmed by all the toys sold for young children, spending time trying to play with them while doing "learning activities" and never wanted them to do anything messy.
But, that is what play is all about. The child exploring and touching things, especially messy ones.
Here are some great activities to build play into your day…
In the kitchen: Use wooden spoons, bowls, and other items to play with. These are great to bang together, stack, and show off shapes and colors.
In the bathtub or even a sink: Bring the bubbles inside. Not only do babies love to interact with bubbles, it helps them to develop good visual skills. In the winter, bring some snow in the tub. This is a safe and warmer way to play with snow without having to bundle them up so much they can't move. Turn your hair dryer on them for a quick second while you are drying your hair.
In the basement: Get out those boxes you are saving. The imagination runs wild when a simple box is produced. This is a great toy for babies, toddlers, and older kids alike.
While your cleaning: When my oldest was little he loved the vacuum cleaner. Bring it out to vacuum and have your little one watch. Press one of the hoses near them to show them what it does. Put your child in the laundry basket while your folding or putting away the laundry. Wouldn't you love to lay in a warm pile of clean clothes?
In the bedroom: Do some tummy time or fun stories or songs while laying or bouncing gently on the bed.
All over the house: I know I am always thinking about stuff, so when my kids were little I just thought out loud. The best part about babies is that they always agree and interrupt. A conversation can go a long way!
Incorporate play and communication into your day and your baby will have a grand old time!

I became a Mother nearly 7 months ago.
Or perhaps I became a Mother the moment I discovered I was pregnant.
Yes. That is when I became a Mother. When my life changed in order to create and sustain another.
{Image by Barb)
A beautiful unravelling of self happens around becoming a Mother. Beautiful… and disorienting.
Our bodies – if we birth our babies – grow, shift, stretch, create.
Our minds – whether we birth our babies or adopt – become focused on poop schedules and play groups. Bedtimes and growth charts.
Very quickly we become a different version of the self we've always known.
Sometimes we lose ourselves. Sometimes we forget ourselves.
{Image by Chris}
In my short few months as a Mother I have changed in ways that I cannot find words to describe.
There may not be words, but it's written on my face.
It's the shine in my eyes, and the wrinkles around them that have deepened from smiling (and lack of sleep).
It's the way I throw my head back in laughter when my son learns something new. Or when his diaper leaks all over me.
It's the messy hair and milk stains and untidy house and all of my imperfect moments.
{Image by Chris}
And my goodness I am so beautiful in those moments.
So are you.
{Image by Elizabeth Kaye}
My first Mother's Day is around the corner, and I am filled with gratitude for all that has changed in my world.
I am thankful, too, that I have a partner and wonderful friends who have documented this time for me.
The greatest gift I can imagine as a Mother is a moment to feel beautiful. To see the way my son looks at me. To be given an image that will always allow me to remember what his chubby little arms feel like when they're wrapped around me.
{Images by Huge Forte}
If you know a Mother who perhaps hasn't had a moment to see just how beautiful she is when she is with her children, consider gifting her a Mother Session. These sessions are priced at $400 + HST for 45 minutes of photography, and include 30 images in high resolution – edited, and ready to print.*
Send me an email {click here} or call me {416 454 8272} if you know a special Mother (pregnant, new mom, mom of teenagers, your mom, any mom!) who might like a little session to celebrate Motherhood. Just her and her wee ones(s). I will put together a gorgeous package for her (including some surprises), and have it ready to go on May 8th.
{Remaining above images by Chris}
Big BIG love to all the Mothers. I am proud to count myself among you.

Living in the future
A few years ago when I was looking for a job I was a bit of a mess. I was doing fine at my gig, but I wasn't investing my whole self into it - far from it. I was kind of gliding along and hoping that the next job I worked at would be the one - the one where I finally attained a level of status and respect that I wanted to compensate for how little of those qualities I had within myself.
That was an illusion. I wasn't ever present in the now, back then. I was always in the future, thinking ahead, planning what was next... and being incredibly ignorant of what was happening all around me.
I took myself completely out of the present. I deluded myself with a made-up story about how perfect things would be... when I got that job. And that story was so good that it made my current situation, my present, seem... terrible. Wasteful. Awful.
There are many times I feel the present is really uncomfortable. It happens. I find that if I take the time to separate what is actually happening from my reactions - my patterns I've lived with all my life, my assumptions, my worst case scenarios - I get closer to understanding the context of myself in the present. And then I can work with myself to get the most out of this very moment. This beautiful, wondrous moment.
