Definition - What does Shankaracharya mean?
Shankaracharya is a title used to refer to the heads of Hindu monasteries, known as mathas. The name can be traced back to Adi Shankara (or Shankaracharya), who was a key reformer of Hinduism in the 8th century C.E. He traveled across India to establish four major mathas and to spread the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta.
A shankaracharya is also viewed as being an avatar of Shiva, who is also known as Shankara.
Yogapedia explains Shankaracharya
Adi Shankara is regarded as one of the most important philosophers of all time. In addition, he was a master of Raja yoga and one of the founders of Jnana yoga.
When Adi Shankara set up each new monastery he also left a primary disciple in charge of each of them. He did this in order to establish a direct lineage, one that continues to the present day.
In his writing, Shankara proved his extensive knowledge of yoga asana, chakras, mantras and breathing techniques. He was also fully knowledgeable in nirvikalpa samadhi, which is viewed as being the highest possible yogic state.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! How will you be spending the day? I am starting the day with my son's party at school, which should be fun. I love seeing him in his classroom with all of his buddies. He also has a HUGE crush on one of his teachers. In fact, yesterday he asked me if Mrs.G would be coming to school in car pajamas for the party...no son, probably not. Kids are funny..
Then, I am ending the day in a bit of an unconventional way. I am actually flying to meet my girlfriends in Arizona for a girls only, spa, sun and relaxation weekend. Could you think of a better Valentine's Gift? I think not! I can hardly wait...it's been almost 2 years since we have all been together. Many thanks to the husband's for letting us sneak away for a few days and holding down the fort with all of the kiddos. s
There is truly nothing better than best girlfriends. I would be lost without these ladies!
Have a great holiday with your loved ones! I will be back on Monday...and hopefully well rested with a nice tan! xoxo

FLORENCE – In the middle of the classic Italian town square Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, a mysterious golden door unfolds to beguile guests into the Museo degli Innocenti.
Created by Ipostudio, the new entrance appears extravagantly ornate but actually improves accessibility to the historic building.
The folding element in the front door is carried thematically through to the display of the artwork in the museum gallery, where the paintings and sculptural pieces are held between folds and bends like individually wrapped treasures to be savoured one by one.

What is a CSF?
A CSF (Community Supported Fishery) operates similarly to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). In that during a season, participants buy shares. A share consists of LOCALLY grown or responsibly harvested FRESH seafood, about 2 lbs or enough for a two person meal. We may on occasion have a "Guest Fish" from the region(but not NJ) or from another regional CSF as a share.We are trying to concentrate on those species which are abundant and sometimes underutilized. All offerings are from responsibly harvested and farmed species. Persons may on occasion, ask for an additional share, and sometimes we can supply it if we receive at least 48 hrs notice. Eventide Littlenecks from Heritage Shellfish( a 3# box) can be ordered with any share, if ordered at least 48 hrs in advance.
Past offerings included Soft crabs, Littleneck clams, Oysters,Top Neck Clams,Thresher Shark (abundant and not endangered), Cape Shark, Golden Tile, Albacore Tuna,Yellow Fin Tuna,Flounder, Monkfish,Scallops and Lobsters.
The shareholder goes to the host farm, and signs for, and receives their share during times established.It is wise to bring a small cooler and gel packs or ice(frozen water bottles work too) for transporting your share back home and placing in refrigeration ASAP, to insure freshness. We will try to let shareholders know in advance what the share will be and offer recipes.
If for any reason a share is not available..we will reschedule or refund that shares cost.
You can assign your share for pickup to someone else, but you must notify the host farm in advance.
Shares not picked up, become the property of the farm.
Our hosts this season are: Rutgers Farm Garden Market ( New Brunswick),The Juice Basin (Asbury Park), and Dreyer Farms(Cranford)

Ra's al Ghul embarks upon one of his most ambitious schemes to confound the Batman. He engineers a massive breakout at both Arkham Asylum and the Gotham State penitentiary. Uniting both prisoners and patients, he arms them with their uniforms and weapons and gives them special instructions. Batman meanwhile, finds a note taped to the computer in the Batcave that reads, "Know your foes!" Ra's enters the cave and tells Batman what he has done. He further offers his service in permanently eliminating Batman's adversaries if he should but agree to join his crusade. Batman naturally refuses, and Ra's takes his leave.
He soon discovers that the villains have kidnapped four people with strong connections to the Batman - Alfred Pennyworth, Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Julia Pennyworth and Vicki Vale. Moreover, the Joker and the Penguin have enveloped Gotham City Police Headquarters with a giant steel net, turning the police into prisoners. The Joke forces Commissioner Gordon to contact Batman and tell him that he has three hours to rescue them or else all of the hostages will die.
Batman finds assistance from two former adversaries, Catwoman and Ra's daughter Talia. They split into two teams to tackle the mission from different angles. Robin and Talia go after one group of villains, while Batman and Catwoman try to free the GCPD. Throughout the course of the long evening, both parties prove successful and meet back up to tackle Ra's. They track him down to an old decrepit windmill where Ra's is housing one of his Lazarus Pits. For the first time ever, Ra's immerses himself in the pit while still alive, and soon emerges, now ten times as strong as a normal human. Batman and his allies approach the windmill. Batman uses explosive charges to blast away at the foundation, providing them with a quick entrance. Batman and Ra's fight one another and through the course of the conflict, he flips Ra's over his head. Ra's lands for a second time inside the Lazarus Pit. The explosives have greatly weakened the structure of the windmill, so Batman and the others race out of there just as it collapses. It is believed that Ra's has been destroyed in the carnage.

By Dawn M Arden (Leonard Wood)October 5, 2017
While Hurricane Maria was unleashing her fury on Puerto Rico Sept. 20, all island-native Staff Sgt. Jose Medina could do was standby helplessly watching news updates and live coverage from his Fort Leonard Wood home.
Medina is currently a drill sergeant for Company E, 2nd Battalion, 10th Infantry Regiment, and though his military duties have taken him out of Puerto Rico, he still has Family, to include a son, on the island.
Before the storm had ended, Medina had purchased airline tickets and started making a list of supplies he would need to take with him. Leaving Friday, Sept. 22, he wouldn't reach the island until the morning of Sept 24.
"On Friday I flew from St. Louis to Miami and Miami to San Juan, but about 30 to 40 minutes before we were supposed to land the captain came on and said they had lost signal with the tower in San Juan so we had to return to Miami," Medina said. "I was stuck in Miami for another 24 hours. During that time I got better prepared and kept on pushing for another flight. I finally made it through Sunday morning. I had lost communication (during the storm) so at this point I had gone four or five days knowing nothing about my son or Family."
Getting to the island was only the beginning for Medina. He picked up his rental car and started toward his hometown.
"The hardest thing while driving down from San Juan was seeing the devastation," Medina said. "Everything was just wiped down. It looked like a desert, all the vegetation was brown. It actually looked like a giant weed eater went across the island. Trees and light poles were all down. After an hour of driving I just didn't want to see any more. I just kept thinking, 'I want to see how my son is.'"
A trip that usually takes an hour and 40 minutes ended up taking three hours due to storm damage.
"I made it to my hometown, dodging between trees, power lines and poles in the middle of the road," he said. "The first thing I did was go to my son and checked to make sure that he was OK. Seeing my son, as I was talking to him, he was shaking. I know he went through a very bad thing," he said.
Next came a visit to his father and grandmother. This is when he saw the extent of the damage to his own home.
"I saw my house," Medina said. "It was just gone. The roof was gone and the winds had gone inside and tore through the house. At that point I didn't care that much about property, I just wanted to make sure my Family was OK."
During his extended layover in Miami, Medina had taken the time to buy a satellite phone adding to his list of supplies, which included cash, solar charging panels for his cell phone, military Meals Ready to Eat, flash lights and several straw-type water filters. Among his possessions was also a list he had made of neighbors he knew had Families in the states.
"There was no light, no power and no internet," Medina said. "I had a list of people whose sons, daughters, Families in the states were very worried about them and as soon as I checked and saw that my son was OK, my Family was OK; I left with my satellite phone to contact them."
Medina volunteered at the local police station assisting emergency response personnel in order to reach more people. Due to having one of the only satellite phones in the area, Medina ended up being their link to Gov. Ricardo Rossello's office until his office was able to bring supplies and a satellite phone for official use.
Fuel was scarce and the few gas stations that had fuel quickly became crowded and overwhelmed with what Medina called "mile-long lines for fuel." He then decided to take the initiative and pulled a security detail until law enforcement could arrive.
"There were no fuel trucks going down there because the roads were covered with trees and power lines, it was a disaster," he said. "I parked in a place where I could see the left side of the line and the right side of the line. I was making sure that the people there were safe. I made them aware that I was there and pulling security."
Compassion for his neighbors kept him going with very little sleep.
"I could see it in their faces -- the need. If you didn't have fuel you couldn't go get food," he said. "If you didn't have cash you had to drive to the bank, only to be able to get $100, to get food. It was pretty rough. You could see people were getting desperate for food, water and gas. Without gas they couldn't do anything."
After seeing firsthand how hard fuel was to come by, Medina said he feels traditional generators should be a thing of the past.
"Make an investment in solar (generators)," Medina advised. "It shouldn't be that much more expensive than a 10k gas generator and it will save them trips, lines and money because five gallons of fuel probably wouldn't even get you through one night."
Although he said it was hard for him to leave, he said he felt like he accomplished a lot.
"I did what I had to do. I feel like I accomplished a lot of things in a small amount of time," Medina said. "I think I communicated with over a hundred Families. I saw them cry, I heard them cry…"
According to Medina's chain of command, this type of selfless service is typical of his character.
"Drill sergeant Medina is never too busy to give up his personal time for the welfare of his Soldiers. He truly emulates what it means to be a Soldier in the United States Army," said 1st Lt. Chase Johnson, Co. E, 2nd Bn., 10th Inf. Reg. executive officer. "He made personal sacrifices to ensure he provided aid to his Family, neighbors, and his nation during a time of need. He answered a higher calling and if that is not true patriotism through selfless service then I don't know what is."
His company first sergeant agreed.
"He could have went to Puerto Rico and just focused on his Family, instead he balanced helping his Family and helping his country," said 1st Sgt. Tommy Hay. "He looks at everyone as if they were extended Family."
Medina added, "I've got all kinds of feelings, I feel sad because people are suffering and I lost my own house, but I feel happy because my Family is safe and I was able to help."

Last Friday, I took a walk towards Chilham to see how the cycle path was progressing, and met these guys working on a small bridge.
They told me that they would definitely be finished by the end of May. Just in time for half-term!
I wonder if there'll be a grand opening? A peleton of cyclists of all ages, brass band, cream tea and commemorative medals for all the labourers?
Or does that only happen in films?
(That's probably enuff revision!)
* I've just heard that there is likely to be a formal opening with a ride from Ashford to Canterbury on May 31. More details to follow. (update: May 8)

Running Wild in Rehearsal
Oona the Elephant recently visited us in Coventry, and now she's getting ready with her team to star in Running Wild! We are so excited to see this mesmerising production come to life. Based on a true story penned by Michael Morpurgo, Running Wild tells the emotional and moving story of love, loss, loyalty and of living for the moment.
The animals within the production are puppets, with puppetry design and direction by Finn Caldwell and Toby Olié, both previous Associate Puppetry Directors on War Horse.
Here you can see some of the fantastic sketches of the puppet designs!
From sketches to reality, look at the puppets in action in rehearsal! These spectacular creatures are surprisingly realistic, oozing charm and familiar animal mannerisms.
For Lilly, going to Indonesia isn't just another holiday with mum. It's a new start, and the chance to ride an elephant called Oona. But then the tsunami hit.
Charging deep into the jungle, Oona escapes the danger of the beach with her young rider desperately clinging on. Miles from civilisation, at first there's wonder, discovery and tree-top adventures amongst the orang-utans. But, as thoughts turn to mum left behind on the beach, wild tigers prowl, hunger hits, and Lilly must now learn to survive the rainforest. Then come the hunters.

I'm back from Vancouver where I attended the IDS West show this past weekend… and what a show it was! There'll be a whole lot more coming, but this post is about the incredible planning and organizing by our amazing CDLB West group leaders, Victoria Lambert of Edin's House, Barbara Matson of hodge:podge, Nancy Marcus of Marcus Design, and Karla Adamatsu of Kerrisdale Design Inc. They made this IDS West weekend possible for the rest of us, along with of course IKEA, our premier sponsor who was just incredible. Thank you Victoria, Barbara, Nancy, and Karla. And thank you IKEA!
Let the story unfold…
IDS West was held at the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre. Have you ever been there?
Isn't it unbelievable?
There is so much BC wood in the design, including these stunning chandeliers. They definitely set the tone for what lay ahead.
Our CDLB group was invited for a private tour on opening night…
And then to the opening night party too!
This is where we all met up…
To collect our Media Passes for the weekend!
I really appreciated having a Media Pass. And our remarkable organizers managed to arrange VIP seating for the presentations over the weekend too!
This is how our tour began…
A glass of complimentary champagne…
And 2 fantastic hosts!
Jason and Leonie…
Click here to read more about our tour and the opening night party!
Saturday night. Let the rest of the story unfold…
The next big event was our cocktail party at the boutique hotel, the Loden, where a number of us also opted to stay the night.
This is a glimpse of the sitting area in the suite I shared with Andrea Johnson, another member of CDLB West.
It comes complete with nailhead trim and an espresso machine at the back!
And this is a glimpse of the special guests who joined us at our cocktail party…
None other than Mark Challen, House and Home style commentator!
These two amazing designers, Kelly Deck of Kelly Deck Design and Suzanne Dimma, editor of Canadian House and Home!!!
I know! Pretty incredible 🙂 And so were they!!!
The evening was filled with so much laughter the volume would put a football game to shame! There were lots of draws with amazing prizes, a grand draw for a $1000 IKEA gift card… and a Twitter challenge too! The prize was a sleek bathroom faucet from Delta Faucets…
Can you guess what came home with me?! Thank you so much Delta Faucets for your incredible support of CDLB West and our special evening!
And at the end of the evening we were each given a SWAG bag too!
Want to see what was in it?
Well, the Delta faucet wasn't part of the swag bags, but I thought it should be included in the photograph too! Thank you so much to the many contributors who helped fill the swag bags with design and lifestyle delights!
And as they say, all good things must come to an end…
But for those of us who were still around the next morning, we enjoyed a nice breakfast together.
(L to R: Andrea Johnson, Myself, Karla Adamatsu, Barbara Matson, Victoria Lambert, Erika Reed Cook, Nancy Marcus)
And then some went their separate ways, while the rest of us carried on over to IDS West to take in Kelly Deck's presentation.
This was the perfect end to an incredible 4 days!
And if you missed my interview with the incredibly talented Kelly Deck of Kelly Deck Design, you can read it here!

The leadership styles of General Robert E. Lee and General Grant during the Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant was not as well known at the start of the Civil War as Robert E. Lee but proved to be just as valuable during the war. As a soldier, Grant believed, "When in doubt, fight." And he did fight. He won fame for demanding unconditional (complete) surrender from the Southern commanders he was fighting. In fact, people in the North began saying Grant's initials, "U.S.," stood for "Unconditional Surrender

Problem: The cost of the health care industry has always been rising since the early 1980s. It has been a growing concern in both the industry and society. Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is no exception. Even though the average length of stay (LOS) for the patients in MGH has been declining (Exhibit 10), it is still the highest compared to their competitors (Exhibit 6). Besides the cost, there is no uniformity of process and standardization across different facilities and departments of the

The Science Centre consists of three main exhibits: the IMAX Theatre, the Science Mall, and the Glasgow Tower. The stunning design of the Glasgow Science Centre Tower was envisioned as a one of a kind structure capable of revolving 360° from the ground up and was expected to become a famous
The difference between common sense and science. Plainly stated common sense is information gathered from everyday knowledge and science is thorough research on a particular subject with concluded facts. In a wilderness of common sense, science stands a lonely pinnacle One of the strongest features of science is that it can correct our seriously flawed cognition and give us an unfiltered view of reality. Most people put a lot of faith into relying on common sense and intuition, but as any psychologist

Importance of Literature vs. Science If we lived in a world without literature, learning only the sciences, would we be the same people? Does the human race need literature at all, does it have any worth whatsoever except as entertainment? Do people actually learn from literature? These are all questions that divide the human race into two separate sections, those who believe in the power of literature, and those who see it as impoverished compared to the social sciences in its ability to teach

FORENSIC SCIENCE "For most people, "forensic science" means cops and fingerprints and DNA analysis. All of that is still true, but these days forensic science encompasses much more." Forensic science, also known as forensics, may generally be defined as the application of scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge to assist courts in resolving questions of fact in civil and criminal trials. In other words forensic science, in its broadest definition, is the application of science to
Sometimes careless science publishing can weaken the public's confidence in science and the government. The Media is enormously powerful and leading and will influence people's opinions on everything. There are plenty of stories in the media that will change the public's perception of science or even make them see a new perception. Sometimes these stories are just written to scare the public into believing a certain thing just so they can sell their stories. Stories sometimes are true and sometimes

When I was at Uni, a spin dryer was a real life-saver. Our flat didn't have a garden so my options for drying clothes were really limited.
Granted, the dryer I had was 2nd hand (as you would expect from a poor student). I often had to lean over it to stop it bouncing out the window - but it got the job done.
The latest range of clothes spinners are much better than the 20-year old model that I had. They are also perfect if you do a lot of hand-washing, or need something for a caravan or boat.
Here are our picks for the best spin dryers on the UK market in 2020.
The Best Spin Dryers Of 2020
Last update on 2020-01-23 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
How Do Spin Dryers Work?
A conventional tumble dryer, whether vented or condenser, works by using hot air directed into the machine combined with the spinning effect of the drum.
This means the machine needs a heating element, which is not the most energy or cost-effective method of drying clothes.
Likewise, if you use a combined washer/dryer, you have the same need for heating, and in either case you need to get rid of the heat without it dissipating into the room and causing damp.
A spin dryer works without the need for heat. Typically, it is a vertically mounted drum that spins at very high speeds, driving the damp out of the laundry without the use of heat. Therefore, it can be cheaper to run, and also to buy. Furthermore, they are usually top-loading so take up less space.
There are a couple of things you should be aware of, however: they can be very noisy, thanks to the high spin speeds, and they also tend to crease clothes more than a conventional dryer.
But, for people with limited space and a lower budget, this may be the way to go.
Features To Look Out For
What do you need to look for when choosing a new spin dryer? Here are some points to consider:
Available Space – one of the benefits of a spin drier is that it is top-loading, so you do not need to factor in space for opening the door.
These models all take up very limited floor space, and as they have no plumbing necessary, can be placed anywhere there is suitable power and ventilation.
Capacity – the spin dryers we have featured offer between 4kg and 6kg capacity; so they can be used for small washing machine loads, or just the essentials like jeans and towels.
Speed – you need a spin speed of 2800rpm – the standard for these – to get rid of excess water effectively, as anything less will not be efficient.
Gravity or Pump Drain - Spin dryers have two main types of drainage systems, gravity drain, in which the water is drained away naturally, and those with pumps that aid the process. The latter are usually more expensive.
Energy and Noise – Spin dryers can be quiet noisy - and that's just down to how they work. We've tried to choose models that are quiet and as energy efficient as possible.
Along with value for money, these are the main feature we considered when compiling our spin dryer reviews.
Spin Dryer Reviews: Our Top 4
The White Knife 28009 is a good-looking, really compact spin dryer that still has a 4 KG drum size. This makes it perfect sized to care of the essentials, or you could run it twice to cover a family-sized load of washing.
This model has a spin speed of 2800rpm; this is about the standard speed for a spin dryer and – make note – is around twice that of the fastest tumble dryers.
It has a stainless-steel drum for durability and a locking lid, to stop young hands from prying and clothes from getting out during drying.
This model only weighs 4.1 kg, so it's really easy to move around and hide away after use.
It also measures just 64 cm tall by 35 cm wide, which is about twice the size of an average blender. This means it doesn't take up a lot of space, and you could have it on a counter-top.
Although the manufacturer doesn't provide noise specifications (perhaps this depends on how well you load the dryer and where you place it), many users have remarked it's pretty quiet.
If you're looking for something that's light, compact and can still handle a 4 kg load, the White Knight 28009 is a great spinner which won't break the bank.

If you're in the market for a more "Heavy-Duty" spin dryer with a larger drying capacity, this OneConcept model could be the one for you.
With a 6 Kg load capacity and 2,800 r.p.m speed, it can handle a full-washing load for a couple, or the essential for an entire family. And the really great thing is the drying cycle time is just 2 - 3 minutes - which is incredibly quick!
With a self-stabilizing mechanism, this machine is somewhat quieter than some of the others in its class. There also non-slip feet to stop it bouncing around, too.
It dimensions are 35 cm x 65.5 cm x 41.5 cm, which is pretty compact. However, on the downside it does weigh 13.7 kg. This will make it harder to move around, but the weight will provide a more stable base when spinning.
All in all, this is a good model that offers excellent capacity and performance.
It is priced much higher than others on our list, but is a great choice if you want a dryer that can handle a larger capacity.

The Thomas 776SEK is the very model of German efficiency.
It's a quiet, light and compact 4.5 kg capacity dryer which comes which comes with a 2-year guarantee, too.
This model is really compact, measuring just 35cm by 35cm by 65cm.
This makes it perfect if you're looking for something to fit into a small space, or for your caravan or boat.
It does weigh 11 kg, so whilst not as light as the previously reviewed White Knight model, it is a few kilograms lighter than others on our list.
The manufacturers have been really transparent with their specs (which is unusual, and I'm guessing that many similar models come from China, so they could have something to do with it) and say it has a noise output of 67 dB.
To put that into perspective, while it is definitely not whisper-quiet, it's slightly quieter than the average vacuum cleaner.
This spinner has also been given an Energy Efficiency Rating of "C". This does sound bad, but it is in line with the industry average.
The weighted average annual energy consumption is also given as 30 Kw / h, so this model will cost less than £5 to run a year. To put that into perspective, a tumble dryer can cost around £100.
As well as it's excellent build-quality, many users have been impressed with how dry their clothes are after use. Whilst they won't be ready-to-wear, they shouldn't need line-drying and be ready for ironing.
One downside to mention is this model does not come with a spin mat, so this does need to be bought separately.
The price may well put a lof of people off the Thomas 776SEK, but it is backed by a 2-year manufacturers guarantee.

A well-known name in household appliances, Indesit offers this very compact – similar in size to that above – spin dryer that does exactly what you would expect it to.
You get a 2800 rpm spin speed – again, this is pretty much the norm for one of these and is the optimum for getting the water out of clothes – and a number of timer settings from very easy to understand controls.
It's also light and compact measuring 34.8 cm x 34.8 cm x 62 cm, so it could also be ideal if you're looking for something for a caravan or a boat.
The energy efficiency rated is "C" overall, so that's not the best, but this is the average for these types of appliance.
One real drawback is that it's quite loud with an output of 75dB. This is louder than the average vacuum cleaner, and quite a bit louder than the previously reviewed Thomas model.
Another thing you do need to be wary of with this model is it will bounce around a bit if you don't load it properly. Like most spinners, this can take a while until you get the knack.
A big plus for this Indesit spin dryer is it comes with massive 10-year parts warranty and one-year free labour.
If you're looking for a spinner from a brand you can trust - this is it.

Which Spin Dryer Is For You?
We're confident any of the spinners on our list will do a good job for you and your clothes.
If you're looking for the best one for the money, then the White Knight model takes that title.
For us, the fast spinning speed, larger capacity and great price set it apart from the competition. And it looks great, too!
- 4kg drum gives you enough room for 2 day's laundry drying for 1 adult
- Measuring just 64cm tall and 35cm wide, it is great for a smaller space
- The gravity drain 2800rpm spin speed removes as much excess moisture as possible from your laundry
