Welcome to our Blog, enjoy your stay!
A READING from: "In The Company of The Holy Mother"Â
(available at all Vedanta Centres)
Page 216
Sarayubala Devi:
May, 1914:
A little later we heard a beggar in the street outside, "RAdhA-Govinda! Mother NandarAni (Sri Krishna's foster-mother, YashodA) have pity on the blind!" When Mother heard this she said, "The beggar passes this way almost every night. Formerly he used to say, 'Have pity on the blind, Mother'.Â
One day Golap-Ma said to him, 'Look here, along with your prayers for help, why don't you take the name of RAdhA and Krishna? It will be good for those who hear you, and for you who utter it.Â
'What a pity that you should be harping on your blindness only.' Since then, he comes here with the name of RadhA-Govinda on his lips. Golap has given him a cloth and he gets money from time to time."
It was another evening. When I reached the place I heard Mother saying, "New votaries should be allowed to worship the Master, for they come with fresh love and their service is whole-hearted, while the older ones feel tired.
"Is such service an easy matter, my dear? One must be careful not to commit any blunder. But there is a saving factor you know. He pardons because He knows that men are ignorant."...

like to collaborate on specific drug development projects, Grayson says. The company hasn't yet struck a deal like that.
It will be interesting to see what kind of drug development programs eventually emerge from the stem cell technology platform Fate is developing. The company has spoken publicly many times about its lead drug candidate, a small molecule drug to improve the effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell transplants for cancer patients.
More recently, since it acquired Ottawa, Canada-based Verio Therapeutics in April, Fate has started offering more details about other drug development programs in the works that have more mass-market potential. Fate is now seeking to use its technology to develop drugs that could help repair damaged heart tissue following heart attacks, as well as to restore pancreatic beta cells that get depleted in patients with diabetes. At an even earlier stage, Fate is thinking about drugs that could spur growth of cochlear cells in the ear, which are damaged in people who suffer from hearing loss.
None of those programs is yet in clinical trials, and Grayson isn't ready to talk about a timetable for when they will get there. If any of those programs show serious signs of progress, it would be big news to potentially millions of patients.

Hasan a
Hasan A. Yahya, Professor of Sociology
The great Irish philosopher, George Bernard Shaw said once about Muhammad (pbuh): "I have studied him – the wonderful man – and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ he must be called the savior of humanity." (The Genuine Islam)
In fact, Bernard Shaw elaborated on this statement added comparative description between Muhammad and other great leaders in history. He says:
"People like Pasteur and Salk are leaders in the first sense. People like Gandhi and Confucius, on one hand, and Alexander, Caesar and Hitler on the other, are leaders in the second and perhaps the third sense. Jesus and Buddha belong in the third category alone. Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Mohammed, who combined all three functions. To a lesser degree, Moses did the same."
Other thinkers see Muhammad as the leader of list ranking the most influential persons in history, for example, Michael H. Hart in his book: A Citadel Press Book, (Carol Publishing Group), he asserts that Prophet Muhammad is the Most Influential Man in History in his list.
In the ranking list of 100 most influential persons in history, Muhammad was the first in the list. Followed by Isaac Newton, Jesus Christ, Buddah, and Confoucious.
In his book: The 100, a Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, Michael H. Hart writes in justifying his selection:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels."
He then, began to describe how Muhammad was influential in his people. By describing his early life saying: "Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became an immensely effective political leader."
Muhammad's influence, in fact, is still powerful and pervasive. While the majority of the 100 persons in this book had the advantage of being born and raised in centers of civilization, highly cultured or politically pivotal nations. Muhammad, was born in the year 570, in the city of Mecca, in southern Arabia, at that time a backward area of the world, far from the centers of trade, art, and learning. Orphaned at age six, he was reared in modest surroundings. Islamic tradition tells us that he was illiterate. His economic position improved when, at age twenty-five, he married a wealthy widow. Nevertheless, as he approached forty, there was little outward indication that he was a remarkable person. Most Arabs at that time were pagans, who believed in many gods. There were, however, in Mecca, a small number of Jews and Christians; it was from them no doubt that Muhammad first learned of a single, omnipotent God who ruled the entire universe. When he was forty years old, Muhammad became convinced that this one true God (Allah) was speaking to him, and had chosen him to spread the true faith. For three years, Muhammad preached only to close friends and associates. Then, about 613, he began preaching in public. As he slowly gained converts, the Meccan authorities came to consider him a dangerous nuisance. Afterwards, he was forced to migration from Mecca, to the city where people believed his mission, whom supported him and stood behind his message, Medina. (572 words) www.hasanyahya.com

— The talent is unmistakable, a long body capable of delivering points on an outside jump shot or amid traffic near the basket.
DeAndre Daniels has been tantalizingly good for the UConn Huskies. Yet there were games when he did little to distinguish himself and hardly looked like the highly touted recruit who arrived three years ago.
But in the biggest game of the season, Daniels was the best player on the court. With the No. 1-ranked Florida Gators determined to stifle UConn's spiritual leader, Shabazz Napier, Daniels was assertive and relentless.
By the time UConn completed a 63-53 upset Saturday night in the Final Four at AT&T Stadium, Daniels had a line that jumped off the stat sheet — 20 points, 10 rebounds and two three-pointers in 40 minutes.
This is the heralded player who came to Connecticut from Los Angeles by way of the postgraduate IMG Academy in Florida. This is the player expected to have such a bright future in the NBA.
"He played well for us," Napier said. "It is so good to have him there because his shots help all of us out, and we know that he is going to come in and take care of it. He has been doing it the whole year, and I am so happy for him."
The 6-foot-9 Daniels came to UConn as a quiet, somewhat passive presence. He has played well this season, posting 31 points and 12 rebounds in a win over Temple in January.
But just when it seemed Daniels was stepping out, he suffered a high ankle sprain. He missed two games, but the injury bothered him throughout February.
In fact, Daniels recently said he is still not 100 percent. But he feels good enough.
Against Florida, he was better than he's been all season.
"I just wanted to step up big-time," Daniels said. "I talked to Coach [Jim] Calhoun and he was like, 'Man, nobody is talking about you.' All I said was not to worry about it because everybody is going to be talking about me after today."
Napier was viewed as the key to the game. If Florida would contain Napier, the Gators would win.
Instead, Napier distributed the ball and helped spark a comeback from a 16-4 first-half deficit. And as the Huskies charged back, Daniels scored 10 of UConn's 25 first-half points.
"We've been saying all year that we've got a complete team," guard Ryan Boatright said. "They were double-teaming Shabazz a lot, and the unselfish player that he is, he was just giving it up, making plays for his teammates. Everybody stepped up."
Daniels had eight points, including the two three-pointers, as UConn outscored Florida 21-6 in the final 8:51 of the first half. He scored 10 points in the second half, when UConn withstood a Florida run.
"DeAndre was huge for us," coach Kevin Ollie said. "He stepped up and really rebounded for us and was pretty much unstoppable."
A night like this, on such a huge stage, must have NBA scouts excited. Daniels certainly has a future in the league, but his father, Larson, has been a strong advocate of DeAndre's staying at UConn for four years.
Now, Daniels and UConn are one victory from a national championship. No one saw this coming.
"We've been doubted the whole season and definitely heading into the tournament," Daniels said. "People didn't have us winning the first game. That's what drives us. When people say that, we just like to go out and prove people wrong and let them know that UConn is back on top."

Exploring these reasons – and finding your own 'why' – is an important step in your journey to becoming a successful freelance writer. If you have a strong core motivation, your will to succeed will be all the more powerful.
When things get tough – and they will get tough – keep your 'why' front of mind, and you'll find it that much easier to power on through the obstacles in your path.
Everyone's reasons for wanting to be a freelance writer are different, and it's important to be clear of your own.
In this article I'll explore some of mine – maybe they're some of yours too. I'll also break down my freelance writing action plan for quitting my day job and becoming a full-time freelance writer.
This is a living, breathing plan I've been working through for some time, so If you're looking to quit your day job and become a full-time freelance writer, I'd love for you to follow along.
The 'Why'
1) Location Independence
This is a huge one for me. I love to travel, and hate being tied down geographically. Freelance writing is a career that can be launched from just about anywhere – all you need is an internet connection and a computer. Maybe you're like me and you want the freedom to travel to new places while writing for clients all around the globe.
Or maybe you'd just like to up sticks and move somewhere different. Closer to friends and family, out in the countryside, or next to the ocean.
Freelance writing opens up a world of possibilities for a change of scene. But if that's not your cup of tea, you can choose to work from home close to the kids and the dogs, or in your favourite neighbourhood café down the street.
That's the beauty of location independence. The choice is entirely yours.
2) Work for Yourself and Set Your Own Hours
When you work for yourself there's a direct connection between your actions and your success. Sure, that can be scary, but isn't it better than having a boss breathe down your neck?
Working for yourself allows you to take back the responsibility for your own success. With that comes the freedom to set your own schedule.
Are you an early bird or a night owl?
You could choose to get up at the crack of dawn and finish your work day by mid-afternoon, freeing up the rest of the day to enjoy your leisure time or pick up the kids from school.
Or, you could enjoy a late brunch and start your day in the afternoon or evening. Or even use the twilight hours to complete your projects. Again, the choice is yours.
Just remember that however you decide to do it, you'll still need to put in a ton of hard work to make a success of your business. So treat it as just that – a business. That means (among other things) keeping track of your numbers, planning for and sticking to deadlines, keeping a regular writing routine, and marketing yourself consistently.
3) Greater Earning Potential
The possibilities here are endless. Here are just a few ways you can continue to increase your earnings as a freelance writer:
- Phase out lower paying clients
- Build on your success to dominate your niche or service and command higher rates
- Create information products to help solve clients' problems
- Offer marketing consulting
- Build a trusted team of writers to outsource work to
- Partner with other writers or designers to offer a broader range of services at higher rates
Sound good? If you're just starting out these ideas may seem out of reach. But if you dedicate yourself to helping your clients solve their problems and keep learning more each day there's a world of possibility for increasing your earnings as a freelance writer.
Which of those reasons for being a freelance writer appeal to you most? If you're anything like me, each one of them is a very powerful reason to quit the rat race.
Feeling motivated to quit your day job yet? Great! But you're going to need a plan of action …
The Freelance Writing Action Plan
1) Build Your Foundation
Nick's article delves into the basics of building your foundation as a freelance writer. From positioning yourself by service or niche, to setting up your writer's website and professional email address, and building a credible online presence.
Don't skip this step, or you'll be building your business on sand. Some hard work here will pay off in the long run and set you up for success.
Another key step at this stage is to gather some social proof – articles for authority publications that will build clients' trust in you, so they'll be more likely to hire you.
Check out the comprehensive 2-part article Ciaran and I wrote showing you how to get your first few samples: How to Start a Freelance Writing Career With No Writing Samples – Part 1 & Part 2
2) Pick an Outbound Marketing Method and Stick With It
When you're starting out, you need an outbound marketing method that works. Outbound marketing is when you directly reach out to potential clients in order to sell your services. It's the fastest way to start marketing yourself and winning freelance writing clients.
There are various way to harness the power of outbound marketing. A quick Google search will bring up lots of different methods including social media marketing, cold calling, direct mail, cold email marketing, and many more.
The WriteWorldwide team have had good success with cold emailing and – my favourite method – LinkedIn marketing. Many outbound marketing methods can be effective if done well, but these two are perhaps the easiest to get started with. Make sure you choose a method you're comfortable with so you'll stick with it long enough to build your business.
3) Study Your Craft
There are lots of freelance writers out there, which means you've got a lot of competition. A great way to stand out from the crowd is by continuing to study your craft and improving your skills as a writer.
Ciaran's post shares 10 useful writing books that will help you hone your craft. It's a great starting place for those serious about boosting their skills.
But don't just read writing books.
Sales and marketing books are incredibly useful to learn the skills needed to succeed in the marketplace, and books that help you cultivate the right mindset can be invaluable. Carol Tice's post has 10 practical books on the business of writing (number 8 is my favourite).
Make it a habit to read often, and as widely as you can. Any and all reading materials will help you improve your writing, from spy novels to long-form magazine articles.
As well as books, sign up to your favourite writing and marketing blogs. And when you're ready to go a little deeper, invest in a course or two to really level up your skills. There are lots of well-regarded courses to choose from, and you don't need to spend a fortune. Do some research to find out the best option for you.
4) Block off Time to Get Your Writing and Marketing Done
You need to make your marketing and writing a habit that's so natural, you just do it everyday. Start small with tiny habits that build into powerful success habits over time.
One great way to plan your time is to use the Seinfeld Strategy. This is a strategy for beating procrastination popularised by the comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The strategy is very simple. Buy a big wall calendar and draw an 'X' for every day you hit your marketing and writing goals.
Why does it work? Because after a while, you won't want to break your streak of X's. It's a useful little psychological trick with powerful results. Give it a try – just remember to keep your goals realistic!
5) Take Massive Action and Be Accountable
With all this hard work, it's evident you'll need to take massive action to keep the process moving. Make a commitment to the steps outlined here and cut out any fat you can from your schedule. You can read more about this in my post 3 Powerful Steps for Taking Massive Action to Succeed as a Freelance Writer.
To make this easier on yourself I strongly recommend you find an accountability partner or group with similar goals. This is a great way to keep yourself on track when you feel your motivation wearing thin.
Check out my post, A Powerful Psychological Trick That Will Help You Succeed as a Freelance Writer for the lowdown on how to harness the power of accountability. You'll also find some practical tips to help you find a partner or group.
6) Set Your Sights on Retainer Gigs
Retainer gigs are agreements you have with clients to provide content on an ongoing basis. They're a great way to manage your income and make sure you have a steady stream of work coming in.
Offer services that clients need again and again such as blog content and social media management. Carol Tice's post discusses some popular types of retainer gigs, and shows you how to go about landing them.
Retainer gigs are a fantastic way to take some of the pressure off yourself to land new projects each month. Do these jobs well, and you can leverage your results to land new clients, too.
7) Set a Date and Savings Goal to Quit Your Day Job
The final part of committing to this plan is perhaps the biggest step of all. To set a date and savings goal to quit your day job and make freelance writing your full-time career.
Be realistic here. It's advisable to have at least six months of savings in the bank. So save all you can from your day job and writing work. If you need some extra guidance, this article runs through the things you'll need to consider before making the plunge.
The key thing here is to stick to your plans. It's good to be cautious, but there will come a time when it makes sense to quit your day job and devote your working hours fully to your freelance writing.
Know when that is, and be sure to take action at the right time for you.
Wrapping up
I've covered a lot in this post. From finding your 'why' to the steps I recommend – and am taking myself – to pursue freelance writing as a career.
My final words of advice are to write down your goals and track everything carefully to make sure this happens.
I'll be doing the same, and I'll be back here to update you on my progress soon.
Until then, do you have a plan for quitting your day job? Or will you take up my invitation to join me on this plan?

From the Headmaster
Dear Families,
Happy New Year. With exams on the horizon, though, the "new year" is really a misnomer here. Exams start in two weeks—on January 17—so please clear out a study space so your sons and daughters can finish the semester with a flourish.
One of my favorite quotations comes from inventor Thomas Edison, who said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work." At the risk of repeating a quote and a theme, I will remind you that study after study shows that the greatest determinant of success is simply to work hard. Not talent, not IQ points, simply the grit and perseverance to stick to a task until it is completed well. I know it is not easy—in fact, working hard IS hard—but it is also a critically important life skill.
Opportunity is knocking. Please help your daughters and sons to recognize what it takes to open the door.
I look forward to getting back to the joyous work of the school year in a few days.

School and College Counseling
Second Semester Schedules

College and Career Planning for Juniors
The School and College counselors will meet with all juniors in individual student appointments to be scheduled in late January, February and March. We will discuss the student's academic record, extracurricular and work experiences, and other positive factors that will contribute to a successful college application process or transition to work or other opportunities. Our goal with all students is to help them create a successful plan for life after Burr and Burton. We will assist college-bound students in developing an appropriate college list, answer questions and provide support for the college search. We welcome parental contact and feedback at any time.
Standardized Testing for Juniors
All juniors who took the PSAT in October received their reports through the mail at home and test booklets were distributed in their advisory.

College Application Update
Congratulations to the many seniors who have already been admitted to college! Most of the rest have applied and are now waiting for responses from colleges that don't report decisions as quickly. We are working with the small percentage of seniors who are still in the process of applying and aim to get their applications off by the end of the month.
Mid-Year Grades for Seniors
Many colleges request the mid-year or first semester grades of their applicants. Rest assured that the registrar will process grades as soon as possible following exams. We'll then forward an updated transcript to all colleges listed on students' transcript request forms. Because we use a universal mid-year report form, there is no need to provide us with college-specific forms.
Financial Aid
January 1 is opening day for 2012-2013 Financial Aid Season! All students applying for need-based aid should be ready to submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the VSAC (Vermont Student Assistance Corp.) grant application in the next month or so.
Parents should begin gathering financial statements and information in anticipation of filing financial aid forms. Be careful to meet individual college financial aid deadlines.

Families are encouraged to apply on-line whenever possible: www.fafsa.ed.gov and www.vsac.org
Some private colleges also require a form called the CSS Financial Aid Profile Form. This process should be started immediately so as not to delay funding: https://profileonline.collegeboard.com.
Families who have specific questions about how to complete portions of the financial aid forms may want to take advantage of scheduling an individual appointment with Jim Estes our VSAC Outreach Counselor, on January 17. Families who want to participate should call Lynne Welsh in the School and College Counseling Office as soon as possible to put their names on an appointment list.

She's a writer with a background in healthcare recruiting. Learn about our editorial policy Andrea Clement Santiago Updated on November 14, 2019 Blend Images - Jose Luis Pelaez Inc/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images More in Healthcare Professionals Healthcare Compensation Training & Education Career Choices Getting Hired Healthcare Trends Geriatric Care Office Management Medical Technology Medical Supplies Home health care is one of the most rapidly growing areas of the healthcare industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts tremendous growth for home health careers from 2018-2028. Therefore, home health is among the most in-demand health careers. One of the most prevalent careers in-home health care is a home health aide. If you are passionate about helping people or caring for others, a career as a home health aide may be for you, particularly if you are seeking a career that does not require a degree or extensive training. What Does a Home Health Aide Do? Home health aides provide personal care for patients who need assistance for a variety of reasons including illness, advanced age, disability, or cognitive impairment. Home health aides may work with patients as part of a hospice care program also. A typical day for a home health aide can vary greatly depending on the type of patient and condition being treated. Home health aides may help with any personal care task such as bathing, eating, moving, or going to the bathroom. Home health aides may also travel with the patient to assist with errands such as doctor appointments, grocery shopping, picking up medications, or if the patient is unable to leave the home, the home health aide may run these errands for the patient. Home health aides may also even assist with light housekeeping duties such as cooking, cleaning, or laundry. Additionally, home health aides may help with monitoring vital signs, assist with taking medications, and other very basic medical tasks. Work Environment and Physical Demands Home health aides may work for an agency or directly for a patient's family. Either way, the home health aide typically works right in a patient's home that may be equipped with some basic medical equipment. Some home health aides work at residential care facilities. The job is often physically demanding due to the nature of the work, moving patients, and cleaning, and other physical tasks. Some home health aides may work with multiple patients for a few hours per day or per week, while others may work their full week with one patient, depending on the needs of the patient or the agency. Sometimes, weekend or evening work may be required as well. Differences Between Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities Education and Training Requirements Home health care aides are not required to have a college degree or high school diploma. Often, aides are trained on the job by nurses or other medical professionals. However, there are some certifications available, and some home health aides have training as a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) or a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Certification and Licensure According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, home health aides who work for agencies that are funded by Medicare or Medicaid must meet minimum standards of training. Training standards include 75 hours of training,16 hours of supervised practical work, a passing a competency evaluation or state certification program. Some states require additional training. National certification is offered by the National Association of Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) but is not typically required for employment. What's to Like The job outlook is excellent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with growth projected to be over 36%, which is "much faster than average" job growth. That growth represents the addition of over a million new jobs or more by 2028. Also, the job of a home health aide does not require a great deal of training or education. Also, people who are passionate about helping others will find the job very rewarding because you can make a significant impact on the lives of people who may be very ill, near death, or very lonely or isolated, among others. Aging in Place Movement Fuels the Home Health Care Industry What's Not to Like Advancement is very limited, but the career can be a great "stepping stone" to a higher level health career in a different capacity while completing other degrees or training for those more specialized roles. Additionally, because there is not a great deal of highly specialized medical training required to work as a home health aide, the pay is not very high as compared to many other medical careers. Average Pay The average pay for home health aides is about $11.57 per hour, which equates to a little over $24,060 per year assuming a full-time, 40-hour work week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics as of 2018.

The older I get, the more things I find to geek out that I never knew I enjoyed such as science fiction, reality television (RuPaul's Drag Race is my current favorite) and, increasingly, self-help books. I love the idea of growing and transforming oneself into the person you've always thought you could be (I guess that's why I've gotten so addicted to a competition show about drag queens). Below are some of my favorite titles for helping you cherish your life and, um, remember your spirit (is that something that Oprah would say?):
Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man by Steve Harvey: This is a book that I never thought I'd have a crack at. When I requested it here at DCPL I was approximately # 148 on the list. Either way, it was worth the wait and I was done reading it in 2 days. Harvey, one of America's Kings Of Comedy, offers down-to-earth yet highly insightful (and frequently hilarious) words of wisdom about men, women and relationships.
Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy by Eric G. Wilson: This little book caught my eye and challenged me to read it. "How can anyone be against happiness?" I asked myself as I read the back cover blurbs. The thing that I truly enjoyed about this book is that, despite its slightly snarky yellow frowny-faced cover, it was quite a soulful and erudite book. Author Wilson offers an intriguing discussion on what he calls generative melancholy, a feeling of discontentment that, if one allows himself to feel it, can be channeled into positive endeavors and authentic, emotionally-rich living. I'm not sure I explained that properly so I'd suggest simply reading the book.
The Shy Single: A Bold Guide To Dating For The Less-Than-Bold Dater by Bonnie Jacobson: Shyness is something that I've lived with since I was a kid. I've outgrown my social awkwardness for the most part but I still find myself being anxious and feeling out of place in big gatherings, shindigs or on a dance floor. I can live with being introverted but I do often wish I could just be myself a little more. Jacobson's book offers simple exercises, anecdotes and wisdom about the nature of shyness and finding ways to push through the anxiety.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.'
"For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
"Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'—only to go on doing all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 7:1-11
When you think about a prophet, do you usually think about kind words coming out of his or her mouth? Often times, contemporary society paints prophets to be doom and gloom sort of people.
In a difficult chapter of Judah's national history, the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel said through Jeremiah, "Amend your ways and your doing and let me dwell with you in this place."
When injustice happens and when innocent blood is shed and when oppression occurs, the Lord is not found in that place. Even if they think of themselves as holy because of their rituals, God calls for them to amend their ways and let him dwell with them.
God wants to dwell with us—isn't that shocking?
Jesus calls each and every one of us to repent (to turn away from our unjust actions) and seek the Kingdom.
Repent and reclaim the mantle of the Beloved child of God.

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is connecting visitors to Haiti through one of their newer exhibits, the "Art of Haiti: Loas, History, and Memory." The exhibit, which will run through May 20, features works by many different Haitian artists, including Edouard Duval-Carrié, Tessa Mars, and Ralph Allen.
The exhibit has been created in collaboration with the Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; it will challenge commonly held ideas about the country as a site of exotic strangeness within the Americas and offer new ways of understanding Haitian art, according to the FAC gallery guide. It is curated by Dr. Anthony Bogues, professor of humanities and critical theory and Africana studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University.
The exhibition features works of art in a variety of media, such as oil on canvas paintings, mixed media on canvas, and plexiglas in artist's frame collages. According to the FAC Gallery Guide, the exhibit "highlights how religion, history, and memory intertwine to create a sophisticated contemporary Haitian aesthetic."
In Bogues' written introduction of this exhibit, he explained how the traditions of Haitian art are founded in the country's historic connection to European colonialism and slavery.
"Art in the African Diaspora presents a visual language that portrays marginal histories and forgotten stories," Bogues wrote. "Haitian art demonstrates the ways in which those who were formerly slaves—and were therefore marked as non-human—constructed their humanness."
He continued by explaining that, when enslaved Africans were brought to Saint-Domingue, they brought with them the Vodou religion, which explained the nature of human beings, life, and death. The citizens of Saint-Domingue later overthrew the French and established an independent republic. Their culture, religion, and history is remembered and shown to the world through their art.
"I appreciate the ways in which Dr. Bogues connected historical themes—particularly the 1791 Haitian Revolution, which is poorly understood in the United States—with Haitian spiritual life, both in the past and present," said Jessica Hunter-Larsen, FAC Director of Academic Engagement.
Along one wall in this exhibition are several mixed media collages encased in plexiglass, created by internationally known artist Edouard Duval-Carrié. His work has been shown in Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the U.S., and in 2016, his work was recognized and awarded by the French government.
Comprising most of the collages in this exhibit, the series titled "Memory Windows," was created in 2017. This specific work has nine panels, with eight of them surrounding one large panel. It features many different objects that symbolize aspects of Haitian life, from animals to people. The collages are mainly purple, with yellow and orange accents around the panels.
"Using a rich symbolic visual language, he comments on the importance of the past in Haitian contemporary society, and addresses issues such as migration, or slavery, and reverberations into the present," the FAC press release stated.
Duval-Carrié's work is also accompanied by art from Ralph Allen. Allen's piece is a large acrylic mural on canvas, titled "La Sirène." The piece was created in 2017 specifically for this exhibit. His work spans many different mediums, such as painting, drawing, and murals, and he often creates works of public art. "La Sirène" has a blue background with many different shades and shapes. The central image is half of a human face, with the back of a woman's head and torso appearing above and behind it. The face is looking towards the viewer, while the figure is facing towards the blue and brown shapes in front of it, and away from the viewer. His work is considered to be heavily influenced by the 20th century politics of the Duvalier Era.
"We have had a very positive response to the exhibition," Hunter-Larsen said. "We hope that this exhibition has presented our audiences with a needed corrective to the typical one-dimensional perspective [of Haiti] by sharing artworks that are sophitisticated, beautiful, and culturally significant."

[King George III: autograph note on 'the Marines at Botany Bay'.] Autograph Note Signed ('G R.')
The present note is of particular interest for the King's reference to 'the Corps to relieve the Marines of Botany Bay', i.e. Major Francis Grose's New South Wales Corps, which arrived in Australia with the Second Fleet in 1790, relieving the New South Wales Marine Corps, which had arrived at Botany Bay with the First Fleet in January 1788. (King George III took a particular interest in his antipodean colony, which he had instructed Captain Cook to claim for him in 1770. His botanical adviser at Kew as the 'Father of Australia' Sir Joseph Banks.) The background to the reference is as follows. On 25 April 1787, King George III, in the first official communication concerning the occupation and settlement of Australia, informed the first Governor of New South Wales Arthur Phillip that Botany Bay was 'the most eligible situation […] for the first establishment' of 'Our Territory called New South Wales', pointing out the importance of adequate procurement of provisions 'for the use of the Marines or Convicts'. The 'Marines' were the New South Wales Marine Corps which, perceived as the poor cousin to the British Army, had hoped to raise its status by volunteering to accompany the First Fleet on what promised to be a dangerous tour of duty in an unexplored land. (See John Moore, 'The First Fleet Marines 1786-1792', University of Queensland Press, 1987). The New South Wales Corps, raised in England in June 1789, and commanded by Major Francis Grose (c.1758-1814), arrived in Australia as guards on the Second Fleet in 1790. Following Phillip's return to England at the end of 1792, Grose established military rule over the colony for two years, himself returning to England at the end of 1794. 1p, 4to. On recto of first leaf of bifolium of watermarked laid paper, with two horizontal folds and the following endorsement on the reverse of the second leaf: 'May 9: 1789 | Note from the King'. Reverse of second leaf (with endorsement) grubby, otherwise in good condition, lightly aged, with thin stub from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf. Good large initalled signature above eight lines of text, reading: 'Friday is a day that will suit me very well for holding a Council on the remaining Irish Bills, and for the convenience of the Lord President I will be that day at Kew. I desire it may be fixed at half past One. | I had seen the Secretary of War's proposals for raising the Corps to relieve the Marines of Botany Bay; I believe it is as oeconomical as the Service may permit, therefore Lord Sydney may forward it. | G R.' (The 'Lord President' was Charles Pratt (1714-1794, 1st Earl Camden, who served as Lord President of the Council, 1784-1794. The 'Secretary of [sic] War' was Sir George Yonge, Secretary at War, 1783-1794. 'Lord Sydney' is Thomas Thomas Townshend (1733-1800), later 1st Viscount Sydney, the Home Secretary in Pitt's government who appointed Arthur Phillip (1738-1814) first Governor of New South Wales.) From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter, son of Ida Macalpine, whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'. Included with the item is a printed slip carrying the auction catalogue description of the lot in which the note featured (Sotheby's, 29 October 1968, lot 526), with a manuscript note stating that the item was 'bought by Maggs for us for 40'. NOte: I would welcome information about other references to Botany Bay in George III's correspondence, official or otherwise, bearing the above reference in mind. Especially pre-1789.

We're all pretty sick of the '90s at this point—from runway trends to shitty sitcom revivals, everything that was popular in 1994 has come back in 2017, except worse. And that's because most things you liked as a teenager, by the time you're almost 30, actually suck. Of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule: The Olsen Twins, Nirvana and Brashy Studios—though the latter wasn't born in the '90s, nor is it a slimy knockoff. Instead, the Los Angeles brand takes all of our favorite elements from the era (oversized hoodies, crop tops, rave gear and patent leather), and reinterprets them for a post-apocalyptic future. Inspired by the past, but never stuck in it, Stockholm-born brothers, Jacob and Axel Hägg, combine subculture aesthetics with everything they find on the darkest corners of the web, creating retro-futuristic streetwear that's both dissident and paranoid. It's that marriage of pre-internet styles with a technology-based edge (not to mention it's decidedly Trumpian cynicism) that makes Brashy Studios super '90s, but distinctly now—oh, and really cool.
BULLETT caught up with Jacob to talk about his process, the philosophy behind the brand, and Paris Hilton. Read our interview and view the exclusive editorial, above.
Describe Brashy Studios in three words.
Business and Pleasure
What inspires your designs?
Fringe aspects of our culture, contrasts and dichotomies, past and present futurism, anything rejected, forgotten or overlooked.
What's on your moodboard right now?
A picture of me on a bike with a cowboy hat—you'll see more of that in the next collection.
How'd the brand get started?
It started as a side project while my brother and I were bored back home in Stockholm.
How has it evolved since then?
Our aesthetic has a more refined and cohesive voice today.
Are there any designers that have really influenced your style?
Tom Sachs, Le Corbusier and Paris Hilton.
What's the Brashy Studios ethos?
Who do you see as the Brashy Studios man or woman?
Anyone that appreciates our aesthetics, 'man' or 'woman.'
There's definitely a '90s rave vibe to your designers. Where does that come from?
We thrive in taking anything that's not visually compelling from the past and reinterpreting it in our own way. Everything we do now is a reference to something that influenced us before that we thought was worth 'bringing back.'
What's your design process like? How do your ideas turn into actual pieces?
Ideas from our mind and the internet turn into napkin sketches. Then we experiment and edit until there's a final sample.
What's next? Where does Brashy Studios go from here?
We'll be expanding our 'menswear' offerings. While we rarely make stark distinctions between the two, there are significant issues to consider in regards to fit.
What do you want people to take away from your designs?
Assert yourself.

Diecai Hill
Situated in the northeast of Guilin by the Li River, Diecai Hill is one of the most popular attractions in Guilin, a place known for its amazing scenery and stone carvings. Because of the resemblance of its rock formations, piled up layer upon layer on each other, to folded brocade, it is now also known as Folded Brocade Hill. Many other special names have been given to this picturesque spot: the name Gui Hill, derived from the laurels that have spread across the slopes since ancient times, and the name of Wind Cave Hill, due to the remarkable Wind Cave on the hill. Four small hills, Yuyue Hill, Siwang Hill (All-Direction-Looking Hill), Crane Peak and Bright Moon Peak surround Diecai Hill.
A visual feast of magnificent scenes such as Diecai Pavilion, Wind Cave and Cloud-Catching Pavilion, along with countless stones with inscriptions created by famous Chinese scribes, awaits your eyes.

Ek sal nie met n RAV 4 gaan nie dit is te lag as jy begin sand ry en die middle man is dan te hoog .En veral as jy gelaai is of sleep
Jy gaan net die jou voertuig beskadig.Daar is wel baie plekke wat jy kan besoek daar met die RAV 4
Here they have it at 165mm. It's an Aussie site & thinks there's a new Pathfinder over there.
I have already decided to take of the plastic covers which makes a huge difference. Then give the car good cleaning session at a mechanic when I come back. Can that work better?
What year model is the RAV
No, it will not make difference. You will get stuck and ruin your holiday. Does your vehicle have traction control or stability control? If so, can you switch it off?
Yes it does have trac control and it can be switch off
My swaer het verlede jaar April saam met my deur Botswana getoer met sy Rav4. Die toer was van Khama, Khubu, Moremi (3de Brug), Savuti, Ihaha, Kasane, Nxai panne, en terug.
Ek moes hom 5 keer uitsleep. Dit het hom R4500 gekos om die Rav weer regtemaak. Dit sluit die plat uitlaat pyp uit. Die moet nog vervang word.
The cleaners at Nxai pans use an old Rav4. Quite a sight seeing them tackle the thick sand.
Not really a brilliant idea.!! Yes you can do it with sand driving practice,recovery equipment and care with tire pressures.However you should go with at least two vehicles.The one ideally a proper 4 X 4 with low range.
Getting permanently stuck in the middle of absolutely nowhere is not fun.Take a satelite phone!!
Hi m,
I've uploaded a proper tyre calculator here: http://4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php?t=4372, but has made some assumptions as to your RAV tyre parameters and calculated that if the tyres are deflated from 2.2 bar pressure to 1.2 bar - you may need to go even lower, e.g. in the Namib we ran 0,8 bar, sometimes 0,6 - you lose 13mm in clearance.
I assumed the following: 215/65 R16, 7J rim, Load rating 103, Speed rating H.
You can use this calculator yourself, but if you post your actual parameters above - also the air pressure at which the standard clearance is measured - I'll rerun it for you, also including a 0,8 bar value.
In a post from the distant past, I explained that some manufacturers inflate the tyres to 3 bar in order to artificially arrive at a better brochure clearance. So do not use that value - measure it.
From Namib experience with a 2001 Forester, I would not go if the nominal clearance is not at least 205mm, typically deflating to 190mm at 0,8 bar.
I'm guessing that in standard form, the RAV won't be scraping the middelmannetjie - it would be grading it.

Volvo XC60 T5
180kW/350Nm (1500 - 4800 rpm)
About 2 years ago I stumbled upon a Duster from South Gate to Third Bridge pulling a very small trailer. This guy was very peed off with how the 4X4 people churning up the road and so that he cannot drive in it. he had to gun it all the way and got stuck about 5 times and every time a good Samaritan pass by to extricate them from the sand or from the top of the " middelmannetjie".
we also saw a guy with a ML320 at Third Bridge and they were going to Xaxanaxa the next day, thought they were travelling in a group with other vehicles to assist.
So, yes, you can do it with possible difficulty and with assistance. Do not go it alone in real thick sand in a RAV4 though.

"We had the public works department put together a cost estimate for doing regular street cleaning, and after adding in the equipment purchase, maintenance, fuel and a trained operator, it was clear that we'd never be able to afford it. The option of contracting with a street-sweeping company became the best solution. It was important to me that the streets be swept regularly, and the results have exceeded our expectations. People are noticing that the city looks great, and it's helped ensure that our drains are clear and the stormwater standards are met."
About Us
We Sweep While You Sleep
Street sweeping is about more than just keeping streets, highways, parking lots and industrial complexes looking clean — its about eliminating safety hazards and ensuring regulation compliance. Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) is the largest self-performing power sweeping company in the United States. While most of our locations started with just one street sweeper and a few small contracts, today, SCA employs over 400 associates and utilizes more than 350 state-of-the-art street sweepers, parking lot sweepers, sewer cleaners and other support equipment daily across the country. Our fleet uses the latest mechanical broom sweepers and regenerative air vacuum trucks that can handle everything from heavy debris on the interstate to dirt tracked onto road surfaces during a construction project to a retail parking lot.
SCA's customer list includes several state departments of transportation, city and county public works departments, airports, large industrial facilities, property management companies, major retailers, construction companies and special event venues.

See What People Have Been Saying About Us
"We felt like we had a responsibility to the taxpayers to compare that cost – from the salaries and benefits to the life expectancy of the equipment – against the cost of an outsourced sweeping company. It became clear that a contracted service would be a much better value. We are very pleased with the value they provide, not only cost-wise but in the level of service. We are looking forward to working with Sweeping Corporation of America for the foreseeable future."
Robby StoneStreets Director
"We used to have in-house equipment, but they can do it a lot cheaper than we could. We only had one sweeper, and if it went down we were out of luck. We've always had great communication and service from Sweeping Corporation. In fact, over all these years, we've never had a moment's trouble. They do what they say they're going to do, and they do it for a fair price."

Tenancy Deposit Compensation levels
Long story short, I was a first time landlord back in 2011 and had a tenant who stayed for 6 years until the end of April. The property was bought for the purpose of renting out and was originally had a wetroom with disabled adaptions such as a shower seat etc. I initially removed these and put a brand new bathroom suite before putting it on the market. The tenant that ended up staying 6 years is disabled and asked me to reinstate the disabled adaptions to the wetroom, because of this significant cost I had a signed agreement with her to hold her deposit for 5 years and if she moved out within 5 years she would forfeit this deposit.
I then forgot to protect the deposit after this 5 year term (I know it should have been protected anyway at the start).
The tenant has now moved out into care and received her full deposit back despite breaching several of the contract clauses relating to damage. Her son (who I suspect is short of money) is taking action to claim compensation for not protecting her deposit and is seeking 3 times the bond (i.e. the maximum).
Because I repaid the deposit in full and the tenant has not suffered any loss whatsoever as a result would this count towards being penalized at the lower end of the scale?

Madurai, India
Meenakshi Amman Temple
This ancient Hindu temple is covered in thousands of colorful statues and has a long mythological history.
The Meenakshi Amman Temple is the heart of the ancient city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. A religious and mythological symbol dating back 2,500 years, the temple's 14 towers are each covered in thousands of colorful stone figures depicting animals, gods and demons.
This sacred site draws in upwards of one million visitors each year for the 10-day Chithirai Festival to celebrate the marriage of Meenakshi (the Hindu Goddess Parvati) to Sundareswara (the Hindu God Shiva) — a divine marriage believed by Hindus to be the "biggest event on Earth."
According to ancient Tamil literature, the Meenakshi Amman Temple was originally built 2,500 years ago by survivors of the lost continent Kumari Kandam, a mythological triangle-shaped continent that was said to span the Indian Ocean, touching Australia, Madagascar and India. Although this continent's existence is currently disproven, members of the Tamil Renaissance Movement once believed it to be the hearth of Tamil culture.
But that's all mythology. In fact, the temple was built by Tamil Hindus native to southeastern India, and it first appeared in recorded history in the 600s AD. In the 1300s, the sacred structure was ransacked and destroyed by the Muslim general Malik Kafur in a successful attempt to spread Islam to Madurai. It wasn't until nearly 250 years later, in 1559, that the structure was rebuilt by the first Nayak king of Madurai.
The Meenakshi Amman Temple remains standing today, the tallest tower reaching 170 feet high. The historic temple was even nominated for the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Shutters might be used for an array of reasons, containing the controlling the amount of sunlight that goes into a room, to offer privacy, defense, to protect against weather or unnecessary damage or intrusion and to boost the aesthetics of a building.

The term window shutter includes both interior shutters, used on the inside of a house or building, and exterior shutters, used on the outside of a structure. Doors and windows of some buildings are covered by the shutters.

How to Add a QR Code to Your Gmail Signature
Are you using QR codes in your email signature? If not, you might want to start.
While not everyone is in agreement whether to include a QR code in your email signature (as many people read their email on their mobile phone), it's like many other forms of marketing - designed to reach some - not all - of your potential prospects.
If you decide to add a QR code to your email signature, be sure not to violate the cardinal rules of QR codes.
(1) Always direct a QR code URL to a mobile-enabled website. Don't annoy potential business or personal contacts by sending them to a site that appears tiny on their mobile device. The good news is that many websites are easily redirected to simpler mobile sites using a simple WordPress widget.
(2) When you create your personalized QR code, producing a smaller 2D code will reduce the file size for your email recipients.
(3) If you can, make the QR code clickable as well as scannable by a QR code reader. That way readers seeing your email on a mobile phone can easily access the information. (If you're not sure how to do that, we'll show you how below.)
If you're using an email service that includes an HTML editor - think Gmail, Outlook Express - then it's a piece of cake to add a QR code to your email signature. Here's what you need to do to add a QR code to your email signature using Gmail.
(1) First you'll need to create your personal or business QR code. You can link to a website, telephone number, vCard, or any number of things. I used a QR code generator for this example. The nice thing about this free QR code generator is the URL shortener feature that keeps your QR code from getting too large. Download the image when you're finished.
(2) Then you'll need to find a place to host the QR code image. If you have a website, you can add the image to your Media Library. Then copy the URL that's attached to that image.
(3) Next log-in to your Gmail account and click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner. Select Settings, and scroll down to Signature (under General options). You'll see an HTML editor.
(4) Create the text for your signature, then decide where you want to add the QR code.
(5) Click on the icon to add an image, and paste the URL for your personal QR code. You should see the image appear below. Click OK to close the window.
(6) Now you have the option of resizing your QR code. Select the image, grab one of the handles and drag it. As you click and drag, you'll see the size of the image in pixels.
(7) Now we'll add the finishing touch, allowing email recipients to either scan your personal QR code with a mobile bar code scanner or just click the image to access your information. (That means anyone reading your email on a mobile device can still read the QR code).
(8) Select the image again and click on the "chain link" icon. Add the URL. When you're finished, click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page, compose a new email message and try out your new signature.

Download "Agua de Poço" for free from spamallstars.bandcamp.com.
It is rare. But now and again, mystics and other wanderers will stumble upon a hidden place where the water is naturally sweetened by psychotropic substances. These are Mother Nature's fonts of inspiration.
Normally, you'd only find such secret spots amid the deepest recesses of the rainforest or high atop a mountain in some unmapped part of the planet. But apparently, DJ Le Spam and crew have discovered a sweetwater well right here in the middle of Miami.
Want proof? Just take a sip of Spam Allstars' "Agua de Poço" ("Water From the Well") and its accompanying music vid.
Directed and animated by local video artist Juan Maristany, this kaleidoscopic cut-and-paste clip is a blissed-out, four-minute-and-36-second trip, all set to sounds of the first single off the Allstars' forthcoming (though "yet to be titled) sixth album.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The song was recorded at City of Progress in North Miami (presumably the location of that secret psychotropic sweetwater well) by a pretty massive party of mystics and other wanderers, including Le Spam on bass, keys, and beats as well as AJ Hill and Steve Welsh on sax, Mercedes Abal on flute, Chad Bernstein on trombone, Ted Zimmerman on trumpet, and Adam Zimmon laying down some axe -- plus special guest players Michel Fragoso, Brian Robertson, Albert Menedez, Roosevelt Collier, and Papa Malike Faye.
With that many sippin' some agua, let's hope the poço hasn't run dry. 'Cause Crossfade wants another shot.
