I Dare
by Shakera Reid-Stewart
6/20/2007 / Dating
Is it unnatural for a woman in this day and age to want something more than a warm body to treat her as he treats the rest?
I dare to think not!
I dare to still dream the dream of happily ever after,
I dare to want to find a man spiritually, emotionally, and physically united with me,
I dare to go against the grain and preserve my moral dignity,
Without compromise or complaint, I will be selective.
Many will say that because of this, I dare to face eternity alone.
I speak this fact into fruition: God is not just simply molding a man for me.
He is molding the man for me.
He is molding my soul mate.
He is molding my best friend.
He is molding the father of my unborn children.
Most importantly, He is molding His man of God
He is molding the one that will not only complete me, but who will complement me.
I dare to dream. I dare to hope. I dare to love.
I dare to believe!

Web design involves a range of disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites.
A web designer creates a good front end user experience, which includes clear navigational features, and any relevant tools required.
A team of product managers, content managers, and user experience designers surround a web designer and the development team who they work closely with.
It's important for a web designer to maintain the technical aspects of their role, but also to assume creativity and managerial control when necessary.
Web design skillsets include:
User experience
Interface design
Web graphics
Standardised coding
Did you know that 40% of people abandon a web page if it takes more than three seconds to load?
As well as being creative, a web designer must be able to work well under pressure in order to meet such restrictions and optimise a site through design.
Communication and patience are also crucial personality traits of a web designer because they often work directly with clients and colleagues who are not computer savvy, so they need to possess the ability to explain technical concepts in a de jargoned format.
No experience is necessary to undertake a web design course, but a professional qualification is recommended to make you stand out from the crowd.
The use of mobile and tablet computing is growing; the ability to ensure content works and looks good on these new platforms is an in demand skillset – promising a healthy and rewarding career.
Most web designers already have a keen interest in computers and programming.
Career opportunities exist in various industries:
- Media outlets
- Graphic design
- Web design
- Digital advertising
- Online gaming businesses
- Mobile apps
- In house marketing/design
There are many doors open to a web designer – you could end up working for a large company, a smaller specialist consultancy, or even go freelance, so the salary will vary based on who you're working for, the experience you have under your belt and how certified you are.

Two coconut vendors are now out on bail after appearing in the No. 2 District 'A' Criminal Court Wednesday charged with unlawful violence, but are free to leave their home as they please, after a prosecutor's initial request for a curfew was withdrawn.
Shaquille Jabarry Callender and Jabarri Tito Holder, both of Odessa McClean Avenue, My Lord's Hill, St Michael were not required to plead to the indictable charge which stemmed from an incident that occurred on July 13. It is alleged that the two used unlawful violence that would cause a person of reasonable firmness to fear for their life.
Holder was also charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding Ryan Benskin, while Callender was separately charged with stealing a cellular phone from Benskin, also on the same date.
While prosecutor Sergeant Glenda Nicholls-Carter did not object to bail, she requested that both men be placed on a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. However, Callender's attorney Mohia Ma'at objected to that condition, contending that his client's job as a coconut vendor took him beyond 6 p.m.
"Ma'am, the challenge may arise when a police officer who knows he is on curfew sees him after 6 p.m., and while the court may be understanding about his work, that police officer may not," he argued.
Before Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant could make a ruling on the matter, the prosecutor withdrew the request for the curfew condition and both men are instead now required to report to Central Police Station once a week.
They are required to return to court on October 17.

Today I was in one of those lazy days when I didn't want to do much but instead, I decided to clean my lm's folder. Lol, yes because it's one of the few things I can 'organize' or just clean (a.k.a delete) in my invo. So as I was going through a bunch of 'old' lms I decided to check a few…one tp lead to another and I was happily surprised to find some new things for my closet. The scarf is from a store I found in a random mall, and it's really awesome. The store is called *METRONOME and the scarf is part of the 'Pastel color scarf set', which come with 6 scarves for around 400L. That's pretty reasonable if we do the maths. 😀 There's 3 more sets to choose from, but I can't really recall all of them. I know one is for 'plaid' and another for darker colors. If you love scarves as much as I do, you should check it. My second favorite thing in this outfit is the dress from this store called ***Ambrosia***. Again, random find. I really like it and for only 80L it's a catch. There's also a blue version of this one which I had to get and a cute freebie dress that you might enjoy aswell. It's really sweet and my inspiration for this (rather pink) look. Hope you like it ❤ Uma

Quick Lesson in Refrigeration
You can make your refrigerator more energy efficient by understanding how it works. Refrigerators use energy to reduce the humidity inside, which helps cool foods. Therefore, any time you leave an open container of liquid inside, you're wasting energy. Make sure all your pitchers have lids, and make sure dressings and moist leftovers are well-covered. You should also always let hot foods cool before placing them in the refrigerator, so it doesn't have to use extra energy to bring them down to room temperature. Of course, be careful with cooked meats, eggs, and poultry – they shouldn't stay out for more than an hour.

Sunday 20th July 2014
On a hot afternoon the band played a concert in the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks with the Portsmouth Military Wives Choir which was conducted on this occasion by Pete Woofenden, a serving member of the Royal Marines Band Service. Deputising for principal trumpet Jon Yates that day was Mark Upton from HMS Collingwood band and what an extremely fine deputy he made too with various solos, for example on the piccolo trumpet for Penny Lane in the Beatles selection, and as lead trumpet in Leroy Anderson's famous trumpet trio Buglers Holiday. A great concert but one where the audience turnout was disappointingly somewhat short of our usual full house: must have been the hot weather!

Welcome to my tour stop for Striking Out by Scarlet Bennett! The tour runs August 17 - September 11 with reviews, interviews, guest posts, excerpts and giveaways. Striking Out is an adult Australian contemporary. The dialogue and and characterizations are distinctly Australian. Check out the tour page for more information.
About the Book:
Sparkling with distinctive Australian humour, this action-packed novel follows one small-town girl's fight to reach the top.
Sharon Jackson is a small-town girl with big-city dreams. Forced out of her home in regional Western Australia with her singing career in ruins, she hits the big smoke in search of stardom. After signing with a sleazy agent who wants more than a ten percent cut of her earnings, she struggles to earn a place in the macho world of rock-'n-roll, encountering a series of colourful characters along the way – like Todd, the sexy, brooding muso with a dragon tattoo and Kevin, the whip-smart fighter with some hidden demons of his own.But when her troubled past follows her to the city, Shazza's dreams begin to unravel. With no home to go back to and a past that won't stay buried, everything she has worked for is on the line. Shazza must make a decision that will define the course of her future, and time is running out.
***Author Interview***
Do you have any advice for other writers?
Write! Seriously. There's no substitute for sitting down in front of a blank page and doing the hard yards. Be the person who does it, rather than the person who talks or dreams about it.
Be kind to yourself. No one's first draft is a masterpiece (well, maybe someone's might be, but certainly no one I know!). Just keep going with your writing, even if you think what you've written is flawed. You'll fix the flaws when you redraft, so keep moving. New ideas might arise as you progress with your work that would require a different 'fix' than the one you might choose early, in any case.
Find your own style. Some people plot everything out in advance. Others make things up as they go along. And plenty of people sit somewhere in the middle. There are pros and cons to every approach, so don't let anyone tell you there's only one right way. The right way is the way that works for you.
Finally, write what you'd like to read, not what you think might sell or impress. That way the process will be intrinsically rewarding, and that makes all the difference when the going gets tough – and the going always gets tough somewhere on the journey.
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
The hardest part for me is always the redrafting process. I have more ideas than time, and I get real pleasure from sitting down in front of a blank page when I'm writing the first draft. It gives me an opportunity to play with some of the ideas I've been entertaining in my head, and I enjoy that process more than I can say. I particularly love it when I'm surprised by what shows up.
I find the redrafting process more tedious. There are a few key reasons for this. Firstly, by some quirk of fate (rather than some virtue I'm claiming credit for), I have a very good memory. This means that I quickly memorise the flow of words and that makes it hard for me to see new opportunities and improvements once I have a specific sequence in my head. I also enjoy big picture thinking much more than detail, so scrabbling around in the minutiae is never the fun part for me. The final challenge for me is that I'm easily bored. I like playing with new ideas, not tinkering endlessly with old ones that don't seem as shiny anymore. I remind myself that my job is to maximise the shine for my readers, and that motivates me – until I start thinking about chocolate, and then I find myself all too easily distracted. I always gain weight when I'm revising!
Do you have a specific writing style?
I do have a specific writing style, but the guidelines I follow aren't easy to explain. I don't enjoy pretentious writing. It gets between me and the story, and I'm not interested in reading a book just so someone can admire themselves in the mirror and say 'look how clever I am'. So one of my key rules is to make my style as invisible as possible. My writing is a vehicle for the story and I try to keep myself as far out of the way as I can. That means using the right words rather than the most impressive words I know. It means making sure that particular words don't jump out, because they're not quite right for some reason. It means ensuring that the flow of words is smooth and fluent so the reader is not pulled out of the story by a clumsy rhythm. I try to wear a cloak of invisibility, and if people say my novel is an 'easy read' (as a number of reviewers have), then I feel I've done my job.
While you were writing, did you ever feel as if you were one of the characters?
No. And that's a good thing. There were some unsavoury types in Striking Out! I did feel, though, as if my characters were real people. For me, they have to be alive in my head before I can do them justice on the page. I need to know what they look like, how they talk, how they move, how they think, what they wear. This is not so I can describe them to my readers, although it certainly helps with that, but because I only know what they're going to do and say next once I can actually see them in my head. Scenes run through my mind like movies, and when I'm not sure what should happen next, I close my eyes and run the scene from the start. Once a mental movie is rolling, the flow is usually smooth and easy. Funnily enough, once the movie has revealed the answer, there's a strange sense of inevitability about it – 'of course, that's what should happen!' Why didn't I think of that?
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
I like to draw my own messages from novels – which may or may not be the ones the author intended – and I assume my readers like to do the same, so I never write with an agenda. I'm happy for people to take what they want from my work, and grateful that they've taken the time to do so. Having said that, there's enough darkness in the world without me adding to it, so I try not to depress anybody. Life can be incredibly hard at times. I like books that offer some respite.

* Provides for mark-to-market losses of 3.91 bln rupees
* Posts loan growth of 22 percent in the June qtr
* Net interest income rose 15.4 percent from a year ago (Adds further details from press release)
MUMBAI, July 21 (Reuters) - India's HDFC Bank Ltd posted a 18.2 percent rise in first-quarter net profit but missed analysts' estimates as the lender chose to include all mark-to-market losses in the first quarter, leading to higher provisions.
Net profit rose to 46.01 billion rupees ($669.43 million) for the quarter ended June 30, from 38.94 billion rupees a year ago, India's second-biggest lender by assets said in a statement.
Analysts had on average expected a net profit of 47.66 billion rupees for the bank that has the highest market capitalisation in the sector at nearly $85 billion, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Gross bad loans as a percentage of total loans stood at 1.33 percent at end-June, versus 1.3 percent at end-March.
With its strong retail presence and relatively smaller exposure to sectors such as infrastructure that have led to record levels of bad loans in India's banking sector, HDFC Bank is a favourite among investors.
Its loans at end-June grew 22 percent from a year earlier.
Private sector banks have expanded loans at a faster pace and have snatched market share from dominant state-backed lenders that account for the bulk of bad loans in India.
Provisions, or the amount set aside by the bank to cover a future liability, for the quarter rose to 16.29 billion rupees from 15.59 billion rupees, last year, with the lender not opting for a central bank dispensation of spreading bond losses over four quarters.
This led to a mark-to-market loss of 3.91 billion rupees in the quarter, the bank said in a statement.
Net interest income rose 15.4 percent from a year earlier, while net interest margin came in at 4.2 percent.
HDFC Bank's smaller rival Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd missed profit estimates earlier this week as provisions surged. ($1 = 68.7300 Indian rupees) (Reporting by Promit Mukherjee in Mumbai and Chris Thomas in Bengaluru; Editing by Himani Sarkar and Ros Russell)

Who's Talking About Singapore Ideal Cut Diamond and Why You Need to Be Concerned
These days, the cushion cut was redesigned to get pavilion facet patterns that increase their brilliance. It plays an important role in determining the brilliance of a diamond. The expression cut does not really refer to the form of the diamond, but it describes the symmetry of diamond, as well as the appropriate proportioning and polishing. Today, there are lots of cuts also readily available for diamond wedding bands. You desire a chain that's ideal for the pendent dimensions and weight. In the event the chain is going to be employed with a pendent then the size of the pendent ought to be taken in to consideration when deciding upon the chain. Numerous chains of varying lengths might be put on for a layered appearance. Guys, you can't fail with a 1 carat diamond! Added benefits of the cushion cut diamonds The cushion cut diamond permits a greater amount of variance in the very style. The diamond has to be able to carry out optimally under all lighting conditions. As a consequence the round diamonds will appear bigger face-up. Conversely, very huge diamonds are usually given fancy cuts which have many more facets. If you've been searching for yellow, pink or another diamond, the cushion cut is the perfect option for you. The pear-shaped diamonds seem like a drop of water and the shape is appropriate for diamond earrings. A TrueHearts diamond is a sort of ideal cut diamond. It is a type of ideal cut diamond. As a result, a diamond with an ideal cut is likely to have a larger diameter than a deeply cut diamond. According to different reports, the purchase price of high-quality diamonds is thought to have dropped over the 40 decades, which can result from inflation, which is a significant element in price. Deciding upon a diamond shape that's elongated can help you save you 20-35% on the cost of the stone! After you are comfortable with the form and color of your diamond, you have to decide on the clarity. Diamond proportions refer to certain parameters within a diamond like the angles to which it is cut and the precise length of unique facets. The aforementioned diamond proportions are the ideal proportions for round cut diamonds for a number of explanations. The absolute most ideal princess cut diamond ratio is an ideal square. It can be challenging to specify the precise proportions with the naked eye.

Compassion = ?
Contributed by Tim Zingale on Jun 8, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: A sermon for the 4th Sunday after Pentecost Compassion of Jesus
4 Sunday after Pentecost
Proper 6
"Compassion = ?"
There are two verses in our texts for today that I would like to call to your attention. The first is in our lesson from Romans which says: "But God shows His love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." and the other verse is found in our gospel lesson saying:" When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, "He had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."
These two verses, I feel, sum up for us the meaning of the gospel message, the Good News of Jesus Christ. God shows His love for us while we were still sinners, or enemies of God and Jesus had compassion for the people. But what does that mean?? God loves us and Jesus had compassion? These two words oft times have a vague and mysterious meaning. What does it mean to love?? What does it mean to have compassion??
In Roget's Thesaurus, which is a book of synonyms and antonyms, he lists many words which describe or expand on the meaning of love and compassion. These words are, sympathy, charity, mercy, generosity, pity, and we could go on and on. And each of these words can be described with many others. The list is endless. But that still doesn't get us to the meaning, to the heart of the matter, what does it mean that God loves us, what does it mean that Jesus had compassion? Maybe scripture might help, how about John 3:16, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
"Yes, that verse speaks about God's love for us, but does it describe it? Can we see love in that verse? Yes and no. Yes we can see love because God's love is visible only through Christ. No, we cannot see love, because we do not see the actions of Christ. The only true way to see God's love, to describe God's love is to see Christ. Christ is God's love incarnate, or God's love made real in this world. So, as we look through the New Testament, as we look for descriptions of what does it mean that God loves us, we need to look at the actions of Christ.
When Christ had compassion on the crowds, He was in a sense, in all reality, showing the people, showing us what it means that God loves us. As He healed, as He forgave sins, as He brought people together, as He made especially women feel part of God's created order, He showed us and them God's love.
Jesus is the one who shows us very dramatically what God's love is like. It is a forgiving, accepting, caring, merciful, compassionate love. It is a love which allowed God's only son to be killed on a cross so that you and I might have eternal life. It is a love which was willing to sacrifice God's son so that reconciliation might happen on this earth. "While we were yet sinner, Christ died for us." While we were yet sinners, Christ reconciled God the Father with the creation.
So, if one is to describe God's love it can be described in the action, words and deeds of Christ. It can be called a reconciling love, a love which brings people together. It is a love which forgives, it is a love which is willing to sacrifice, it is a love which is willing to give instead of take.
That love of God is seen through Christ and the cross, but at the same time, the love of Christ is seen today not only through the actions, words and deeds of Christ in the Bible, but through the actions of the Holy Spirit working in the lives of people today. Paul says very clearly, that you and I are little "little Christs" out in the world. People see Christ today through us, through you and me. Paul says in Romans 12:9,"Let love be genuine, hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good, love one another with brotherly affection, outdo one another in showing honor."
Paul says further in Ephesians 5: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Paul says further,"for once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord, walk as children of light,"
As you can tell, you and I are to be little Christ's in this world. We are to be Christ like, loving one another as Christ has loved us. We are to be free with our love, expressive with our love, we are to be generous with our love toward our neighbor.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Throughout the first half of Sunday's A.F.C. championship game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, the Gillette Stadium crowd roared its approval whenever the referee announced that one of the Patriots' offensive linemen was eligible for pass-catching duties.
A week earlier, in the Patriots' divisional round playoff victory over Baltimore, Coach Bill Belichick's crafty choreography of eligible and ineligible linemen had been labeled "deceptive" by Ravens Coach John Harbaugh.
Most of the rest of the N.F.L. took it as another example of Belichick's sly genius.
In the third quarter Sunday, the Patriots had a 10-point lead on a plucky Colts team. Before a third-down play, once again, left tackle Nate Solder reported as an eligible receiver. By then, a monotony had set in about the announcements. Even the home crowd barely noticed.
The Colts certainly did not seem to pay attention. They left Solder uncovered when he ran into the left flat and caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady.
As the 320-pound Solder was rumbling toward the end zone, Brady was jumping up and down behind the play like a child whose new backyard toy had surprisingly worked as planned. On the sideline, even Belichick cracked the thinnest of smiles.
Solder's touchdown became the symbolic tipping point in the Patriots' 45-7 thrashing of the Colts, a victory that will send New England to the Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 1 in Arizona.
It will be New England's eighth trip to the Super Bowl, tying the Patriots with Dallas and Pittsburgh for most appearances. Brady will be the first quarterback to start six Super Bowls.
Four weeks into the 2014 regular season, when the Patriots were 2-2, there was a chorus across the nation wondering if Brady's Patriots were getting old all at once.
But Brady and Belichick, whose sixth conference championship together set an N.F.L. record for a coach-and-quarterback tandem, proved on Sunday that lengthy experience does not always mean over the hill.
Asked about the touchdown pass to Solder, Brady noted that the Patriots had used a wide receiver option for a touchdown pass a week earlier.
What's that about teaching an old dog new tricks?
Brady said, "Maybe we've got more tricks up our sleeve."
In the matchup with Seattle, Brady and Belichick will have their third chance to win a fourth Super Bowl. Their last Super Bowl victory together was 10 years ago. In between, there were two losses to the Giants.
Not usually introspective after games, Brady was willing on Sunday to measure the historical significance of another trip to the Super Bowl.
"We've got to win one to kind of leave our legacy," he said.
As for the touchdown pass to Solder, Brady could not stop grinning as he recreated it.
"We thought it would work," Brady said. "Nate did a good job in tough, rainy conditions. And then he ran past two guys to get it in there."
Solder, who played tight end before he was converted to tackle, knew that the play was in Sunday's playbook but said he was never confident he would get his chance.
"There's no way to know if the situation will come up for that," he said.
What did he think when he heard Brady call it in the huddle?
"I thought it was a good call," Solder said. "I was ready for it. It's all a blur for me now, but I knew I could catch it."
After two consecutive losses in the A.F.C. championship game, New England, which was making its fourth successive appearance in the conference championship, made easy work of the Colts.
After Solder's touchdown, the Patriots scored a touchdown on each of their next three possessions. Brady, who was starting his ninth conference championship game, threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski. Running back LeGarrette Blount burst through the middle of the line for 13 yards, tumbling into the end zone. Early in the fourth quarter, Blount charged over the goal line from 2 yards away for a 45-7 New England lead. For Blount, who had 148 rushing yards, it was his third rushing touchdown of the game.
It was the second straight year the Patriots crushed Indianapolis in the postseason. New England defeated the Colts, 43-22, in a divisional round game in 2014. The Patriots' record at home in the playoffs is now 17-4.
Brady was not sensational Sunday, but he clearly outdueled his younger counterpart, the 25-year-old Andrew Luck, who has been viewed as Brady's heir apparent. Luck looked rattled from the start, and his throws were frequently off line. Luck completed just 12 of 33 passes for 126 yards. Brady completed 23 of 35 passes for 226 yards.
After the game, Luck did not admit to being nervous but conceded he had made a series of early mistakes.
Very little in Sunday's game went right for the Colts. Before the game was five minutes old, they had lost the football on a muffed punt that led to an easy Patriots touchdown.
It did not take the Patriots long to establish the early offensive theme of the game. They attacked the Colts with short passes — many to the versatile Julian Edelman — and when they had the Indianapolis linebackers backing up in coverage, they gave the ball to Blount, who slammed into the middle of the Colts' line.
The mix of pass and run soon had the Patriots ahead, 14-0, and they were driving for a third score until Brady made perhaps his only truly poor throw of the night, a toss into double coverage that was intercepted. Luck used the second-quarter turnover to drive the Colts 93 yards for their only points of the game, a 1-yard run by Zurlon Tipton.
It was a high-water mark for Indianapolis. On the opening drive of the second half, Solder slipped off the line of scrimmage in the Patriots' latest bit of skulduggery.
In the game's final minutes, with the crowd chanting Brady's name, Belichick and his quarterback embraced near midfield. It was Belichick's 21st playoff victory, an N.F.L. record. Brady already had the postseason record for most wins by a starting quarterback, but on Sunday he increased it to 20.
Later, in the glow of the Patriots' locker room, Brady was still smiling.
"Hopefully, our best is yet to come," he said.

League of Legends is definitely dying (euw), experience for new players is terrible
I recently created a new account (this one), as I wanted to see how it would be climbing to diamond without completely ruining my mmr along the way. All that I've realised is that this game is actually no where near as popular as people claim it to be (at least in euw). I know similar posts like this have come along but only through playing normals have I realised the extent to which smurfs are scewing the popularity of this game. Literally 8/10 players in every game I have played have been smurfs to one level or another, whether it be bronze, silver or diamond. Often times the low elo smurfs are so bad I do often think that they are new but then they do something notable which could only be done by someone who has previous knowledge of the game. My point being that this game has been completely ruined for new players. Imagine you have no clue what you're doing and then every single game you play pvp is decided on which smurf is playing better, they have next to no if not a completely negative impact on the game for everyone else. I can only think how many new players have started an account only to quit thinking how toxic the community is and if they: a) just think they're bad compared to the rest of the player base, when it was actually a bunch of gold players pub-stomping them b)get flamed for actually being new to the game and just decide it's a terrible community to be part of There is an argument floating around that because of mmr smurfs get placed with one another which might explain my experience. However, in every game I get 1/2/3 people who are evidently completely new to the game and didn't know what they were doing, hence making themselves completely irrelevant and they just have to wait every game to either get carried or get stomped in 25 minutes, neither of which is a fun experience. Starting a new account has genuinely opened my eyes to how bad a situation this game is in, as fewer new players are not only not joining the League but shortly after joining they're blasted with a bunch of reasons to no longer play.

BEIJING (AFP) - An underground fire at an illegal coal mine in northeast China has left 11 people dead, with one still missing, state media reported Friday (July 8).
The blaze broke out at a mine in Liaoning Province early Monday, trapping 13 miners about 500m underground, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Two bodies were found Thursday and nine more Friday. Rescuers have recovered one miner alive but Xinhua cited a local work safety bureau as saying one person remained missing.
Despite being closed in 2004, the mine was able to continue operations after the owner concealed the shaft within a coal washing plant, Xinhua said, citing head of the bureau Hao Chijun.
Hao said the illegal mine only had one opening, whereas normal mine shafts have at least two, Xinhua reported.
China is the world's largest coal producer, and deadly accidents in the sector are common.
The government says fatalities are declining, but some rights groups argue that under-reporting means the actual figures are significantly higher.
At least 19 people in China were killed in a coal mine accident in March, in what is believed to be one of the deadliest such incidents this year.

"Our knowledge of the volume of slave traffic as well as the geographic origin and ethnicity of slaves introduced into peripheral areas of the Americas, such as the former Spanish colony of Puerto Rico, is limited. Information contained in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century parish baptismal, marriage, and death registers enables us to locate and identify Africans in a number of island communities, including San Juan. Drawing upon data culled from parish registers this study seeks to broaden our understanding of the slave trade to Puerto Rico in the years 1672 to 1810. Few slaves were brought in either from Africa or from elsewhere in the Americas to Puerto Rico, and the supply of these was erratic and limited. Although they were small in number, there was considerable diversity in the geographic origins and ethnicity of African arrivals, with individuals from West and West Central Africa predominating. For the most part, these shared a relatively homogenous culture and a greater similarity insofar as the language(s) they spoke. Such commonalities facilitated integration and promoted social cohesion among the newly arrived Africans as well as those already present in the host population. It also facilitated their integration into what was emerging as a unified Afro-Puerto Rican slave community."

1st paragraph steal:
"On the morning of 28 December 1768, Antonio and Mara, a slave couple belonging to Flix Pagn, were married in the Catholic church of San Germn, Puerto Rico. The event was recorded in the parish marriage register, along with a notation stating no se velaron por ser tiempo prohibido; that is the couple had not received the velacin, or solemn nuptial blessing, because it was a forbidden season. Although marriage may be contracted at any time of the year, Church officials frowned upon it during the seasons of Advent and Lent since the velacin could not be conferred at this time. Because these seasons were to be marked by abstinence and penance, couples were discouraged from celebrating and consummating their marriage if they had not received the nuptial blessing.1 Once the penitential season was over, couples wishing to receive the blessing often returned to the church for it to be conferred, which Antonio and Mara did. Seventeen days later they appeared before the parish priest Joaqun Nazario de Figueroa y Matos, and received the velacin.2 Marriage among slaves was not uncommon in eighteenth-century Puerto Rico and neither was it unusual for them to be joined in matrimony during the forbidden seasons, especially Advent…."

text: Great post Mark! One omission though is that fitness standards change throughout the lifespan. You've even mentioned this yourself in discussing how, as you age, you've been transitioning more and more into body-weight exercises to maintain your physical condition rather than lifting a lot of heavy things in the gym to build muscle. Also, when I was in middle school, it was a requirement that all children, especially the boys, learn how to dodge a ball hurled at you from a kid on the opposing dodge ball team. Let's not forget the ontogenetic niche! 🙂

Now days the quick design process and the understandable of the designs are really important in software development. This is the main reason, why the model driven development is getting common. In this way, more people and different teams can work together, on the same problem from different approaches.
It is one aim of the model driven development, and an other one is to make the development process faster. One way for it, is the source code generation. We can generate source codes or test codes form the models. The source code generation has already started to spread and the test code generation is an interesting way too.
My thesis is about to examine the test generation way in Robert Bosch Kft, Hungary. In my thesis I will follow a special way, the metamodeling. In this process I will metamodeling the functionality of a reference module. After it, I will instantiate this metamodel, these will be the concrete instances. I will examine how I can make a right metamodel for test generation. At the end of my thesis I would like to generate tests for clicking.
I will use the model validation processes to see the problems of the meta and the instance model in the earlier phases. Then I will check the code generation techniques. At my thesis I will use the Sparx Systems, Enterprise Architect modeling tool. This tool contains some built-in model validator and code generator but the most time these are too general. Because of it I will try to make the rules how we can make new or modified model validation and code generation techniques for own models and test generation.

KUALA LUMPUR: The online shopping consumption increased greatly during the fasting month, especially during the early hours of the morning for sahur.
This was evident as iPrice Group, a price aggregator platform for hundreds of online merchants in Indonesia and Malaysia, experienced double-digit growth in online sessions.
Its analysis suggested that online traffic at 5 am increased by 105 per cent in Malaysia and 345 per cent in Indonesia, when compared with the same time prior to Ramadan.
"The increase was much higher in Indonesia as the country has the largest Muslim population in the world.
"In Malaysia, the increase in online traffic was much higher when compared to our research last year, where we only saw a 90 per cent increase in online traffic at 5 am, indicating an increased interest in online products this year as compared to 2017," it said in a statement today.
iPrice said the online traffic in both countries experienced a dip in online traffic at 7 pm in Malaysia and 6 pm in Indonesia as many prepare for breaking of fast (iftar) but after Terawih prayers, online traffic in both countries would resume, reaching its peak at 10 pm.
Fashion products were among the most sought-after items during Ramadan as millions of Malaysians and Indonesians prepare for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, with Naelofar Hijab, Fashion Valet and Muslimah Clothing as the top three most searched local fashion eCommerce brands in Malaysia.– BERNAMA

T-Mobile Becomes The Uncarrier
Which is why I was so excited when T-Mobile announced their "Uncarrier" plan earlier this month. You can read about the new campaign here. Put very simply, T-Mobile unbundled the cost of the phone from the service. As a result, wireless service will cost about $30 less than the other carriers.
You can pay for your phone upfront or in interest-free monthly installments (the combined monthly cost is still less than what the other carriers charge for their bundled plans). If you lose or damage your phone, you can buy a new phone anytime. And if you pay off your phone, you can enjoy a cheaper monthly bill as long as you want. If you don't need your phone service for awhile–say you're backpacking through Myanmar for six months to "find" yourself–you can cancel your service and just buy local SIMs in Yangon!
Of course, T-Mobile didn't lower the price of the phones themselves. Phones are still way overpriced…but now that T-Mobile has shined a spotlight on that problem, it is just a matter of time before device makers rush in to fill the price gap.
The race to the bottom may have already started. The Google Nexus 4 costs half as much as an iPhone 5 or Galaxy 4. If Amazon comes out with its long-rumored Kindle phone, I'm sure the price of that phone will make the incumbents nervous.
And let's not forget China. Huawei has already started making cheap Android phones for their home market. Foxconn, Quanta and others are sure to follow. They are not very good but give it time. Disruptive innovation.
The cheaper phones will start to slowly trickle into the US market. Consumers will win. Apple stock may have further to fall. I really hope T-Mobile's new business model succeeds and eventually forces the dominant carriers and device makers to be more transparent with their pricing. But I hope it doesn't succeed too much to the point where T-Mobile gets drunk on its success and starts acting like a toll-collecting utility rather than an upstart innovator.
One question I bet you're thinking: am I getting paid by T-Mo to promote their new service? I wish! But sadly no. I just like to see an innovator succeed with a new idea against the incumbent bell-shaped heads! It comes down to this: if I can buy a 7 inch Android tablet with a cellular chip for under $300, shouldn't a 4-or 5-inch smartphone cost less than that? Or at least not twice as much as that? And if we consumers suddenly have access to transparent pricing models, isn't it just a matter of time before we start demanding lower cost monthly service plans to go with our lower smartphone prices?
Consider this: A petition to kill the bundle contract from Change.org needs just 30,000 more signatures before it can take it to Verizon. VZW CEO Lowell McAdams said he will consider it if customers demanded it. It looks like they are demanding it.
I really think that T-Mobile fired the opening shot of a smartphone revolution! If you don't like the idea of carrying a cheap pre-paid phone and a 7 inch tablet as I recommended in my prior post, then T-Mobile may have introduced a really good alternative.
Or, Virgin Mobile (my other favorite carrier, MVNO owned by Sprint) has just introduced a pretty good option as well: LG Optimus F3 comes to Virgin Mobile with LTE and $180 price tag. This is the full price that you can use on Virgin's prepaid service. We currently pay $35 for an unlimited plan.
And if you are outside the US reading this and thinking, "What's the big deal? This is how it's done in my country already." You are right. The US system is antiquated and needs a reboot.
Finally, I will admit that I'll miss the pretty T-Mobile girl in the pink dress though. She was a casualty of this new marketing campaign.

Paddling in the Spree Forest
The Spree Delta near Berlin - a paradise for canoeing and paddling
What a fantastic world! Even the Spree delta – situated in the middle of the river and not near the mouth – is part of it.
Rural idyll
Farmers have extended the delta and now use the little canals for their work. The water is used for irrigation but also as a means of communication. As most of the water routes are flat and narrow, boats and barges can only be moved in a poling way.
In the course of time, the cultivation of cucumbers and pumpkins has flourished just like the tourism. Thus, you can find many restaurants in the villages directly by the water, see the postman using a barge and directly experience the local animal world. There is no better water to match canoes or kayaks than in the Spree Forest.
Slowly streaming, between two and eight metres wide, the canals constantly offer new things that are only a few paddle strokes away. In order to control the water level various locks and weirs have been set up. The locks are arranged in a way that after studying the manual of one, you'll be able to operate them all. There are landing piers on all locks, which makes it easy to get in or off at any time.
Reading recommendation: Basic knowledge: Paddling the Canadian Canoe – How to master all challenges with the right paddling technique
Regulations and laws on the waterways
The watermen have secured special rights on the canals – similar to taxi drivers in big cities. This is partly due to the restricted manoeuvrability of the barges: A man trying to stop a solid-wood barge with 30 passengers using only a pole – not working. For paddlers, this means "queuing".
Most of the Spree Forest is private land and a biosphere reserve at the same time. Therefore, gather some information first. There are some restrictions regarding travelling the canals – be it for reasons of nature protection or space. And this is why several sections in historic villages are only partly open for paddlers.
The authorities' latest idea is a strict control of specific laws, which is in this case: All boats have to have a name on both sides at a minimum height of 10 cm – if not, a €35 fine applies. Whether it is helpful for the tourism to insist on laws being obliged to 100% or whether acting according to your sense of proportion – well, that remains to be seen. According to rumours there even were talks about a fee for paddlers but it has not been introduced yet. But who cares? Visit the Spree Forest as long as it is still possible.
Accommodation and Put-ins
There are many pensions, some hotels and only few camping sites. But yet, free put-ins are hard to find. A word of advice: Be polite, ask nicely, give a small donation for the "coffee bank" – and you are already parking your car and putting in your boat. For a tour around Lübbenau, we recommend the "Schloßcampingplatz Lübbenau" camping site. There is a parking lot, a public toilet and also boat rental and you are near the historical places. If you like it more quiet, we recommend the "Campingplatz am Ostgraben" camping site. It is a private site for tents only.
Danger in paradise?
Are there at all dangers in paradise? Yes, there are! Nature isn't always just beautiful. There is a disease that has spread in the Spree Forest and infected the poplar with dry rot. The trees rot from the inside out and the actual diseased state of the tree is only spotted later – which can be rather dangerous during storms as the trees are unstable and fall easily. And this is why you should always look for a solid shelter during thunderstorms and strong wind.
All kinds of animals …
What kinds of animals live in the Spree Forest? If you are unlucky, it is mosquitoes and/or horse flies. But other than that, there are many different animals to observe: kingfishers, grass snakes, blind worms, muskrats, cows and loud, drunk, paddling tourists… depending on the time of day and the season. During the week during off-season and a little bit away from the major canals, the animals are undisturbed and great to observe.
Best to get in the canoe
I find the canoe the perfect boat for paddling the canals. The paddling rhythm reflects calmness, thanks to the higher seating position you have a better all-round view and getting in and off at the locks is easier than with a kayak.
When you are on tour with your family, the kids have enough room to play in the middle of the canoe and the steerer can always keep an eye on them. If you do not have any paddling experience yet, please read a book on canoes to practice the steering in order to keep the canoe going.
When renting a boat, you will receive a map as well. And you will need it – there are about 600 km of water routes. To make it back home it is enough to remember the names of the canals: These have – similar to roads within towns – names and are indicated accordingly at crossings. Thanks to the immense number of canals you always find your way back to the right canal rather quickly in case you have paddled into the wrong direction.
It is nearly impossible to recommend a specific tour because everyone wants to see different things. There are old villages around Lübbenau and in the northern to north-eastern part there is the Hochwald, in the east thicker forests and farm lands and east of Burg you can find the less touristy part with smaller estates and a mix of forests, meadows and fields.
Anyway, there are more than enough things to discover in the Spree Forest so it would be wise to plan in several days for it. You can also explore the Spree Forest by foot or by bike as there is a well-developed path system with bridges over the canals.
The equipment needed for the Spree Forest is not much. Comfortable clothing is important: A good recommendation is e.g. Tatonka's Odis Shirt, which is made of a cotton / kapok blend and is perfect in the sun as well as during colder weather; add to it soft-shell trousers as they are flexible and dry quickly (e.g. Bowles Pants by Tatonka). Ideally, wear a soft-shell waiscoat and in case it gets wet, make sure you bring a rainjacket and rain trousers (e.g. the Twain Jacket and Tores Pants by Tatonka).
The boat hirers always appreciate a careful usage of their material – wearing the right boots is part of that. Therefore, I recommend e.g. the Teva boots Refugio, a ultra-light mesh water-sports shoe. But, alternatively, you can also wear sandals. For the full package add a waterproof storage sack (e.g. by Tatonka) for all the important things in life, such as your mobile etc. (According to the stories, there should at least ring 10 mobiles at each lock – if only they still could after falling into the water). An insulated bottle not only keeps your drinks warm but on hot days also cool – so here is another recommendation: Hot&Cold Stuff by Tatonka. Last but not least: Don't forget mosquito repellents and sun screen!

Typically the most significant electrolyte loses, specifically sodium electrolytes, occur when your sweat rate increases:WELLNESSDehydration and electrolyte imbalance are both symptoms associated with stomach bugs. Diarrhoea and vomiting lead to large fluid and electrolyte deficits, that if left neglected, can lead to symptoms of severe dehydration and require medical attention. After a heavy night your electrolyte balance will also need to be corrected.EXACTLY HOW DO ELECTROLYTES TABLETS SUPPLY REHYDRATION?A lot of folks tend feel that dehydration can be corrected by drinking lots of water. Could effective in replacing lost fluids, without replenishing lost electrolytes when you're dried out your body is unable to absorb any water you drink. Not only does this prevent rehydration, but by only taking on extra fluids the electrolyte balance becomes further diluted. Typically the sodium, potassium, and chloride ions that contribute to electrolyte balance need to be replaced as well as fluids.WHO REWARDS FROM ELECTROLYTE TABLETSSportsmen And Electrolyte Tablets sportsmanElite-level athletes are the ones that gain the most from electrolyte tablets. They're constantly putting by themselves in situations where their body temperature is high. This leads to excessive sweating and a high-risk of lacks. Many top athletes use O. R.

Electrolyte capsules are the most effective way to maintain your hydration levels by changing both fluids and electrolytes. O. R. S Hydration Tablets contain a precise mixture of salts, minerals, and glucose to recover electrolyte balance. The blood sugar aids the absorption of sodium through the wall structure of the intestine, correcting the electrolyte balance in the blood circulating the body and allows the body to rehydrate by moving water to where is actually needed the most.water balance tablet formula Salts, minerals and glucoseIncreased electrolytesADVANTAGES OF ELECTROLYTE PILLSElectrolytes tablet provide a complete method of replenishing fluids and are significantly more convenient for athletes that are undergoing lots of physical stress. If the body is losing normal water at a rapid rate, then you'll need to drink a lot of water to counter this.

The result is that your body is not rehydrated efficiently. By taking an electrolyte tablet, you eliminate this issue and you don't have to drink all the water to rehydrate.Using electrolyte tablets also avoids drinking sports drinks containing high levels of sugar. Every time a drink contains far more sugar than salt, none are absorbed appropriately and causes a build-up of fluid in the intestines not an embrace your hydration levels.How can you lose Electrolytes?Because electrolytes are dissolved in body essential fluids, whenever you're losing essential fluids you're losing electrolytes.
By taking an electrolyte tablet, you can help keep yourself hydrated during your sickness. It will help you recover from your illness, and keep dehydration at bay. Electrolyte tablets are the best way for individuals to hydrate themselves. They have got numerous benefits over only drinking drinking water or sports drinks. Typically the science behind ORS pills will guarantee they're effective. To add to this, they may lead to any side results. They're medically safe, and ideal for one to use.Regarding more information click our FAQs page.Drop it. Dissolve it. Drink it.

Inside use, they are all fairly similar.
This is because they may have boundless energy, and sweat quite a lot are not as aware about staying hydrated as grown ups are. So, giving children these tablets can be a great way to ensure they stay hydrated..Staying Hydrated In Hot ClimatesHot climate results in loss of electrolytes from sweatPeople in hot climates are constantly at risk of dehydration. When you've ever stayed out in the sun, then you will probably have felt fatigued. Often, this is because the heat has caused to dehydrate. Your body has lost so much drinking water throughout the day, and you have a lack of essential minerals. All of this can be avoided for some O. R.

It's common for you temp to rise due to a fever.
People who often experience leg cramps have reported good results from drinking the stuff. In any case, that is a nice option to Gatorade, et ing.In early 2016, Nuun (pronounced "noon") released a new, reformulated version of their Active tablets, but it hasn't gone over well with die-hard fans of the original formula, especially for individuals who dislike plant-based sweeteners such as stevia extract.Your own mileage may vary of course, but when it comes to the crunch, I had created recommend picking up a box of the old stuff while they still offer it. It comes with four 12-tablet pipes, with the respective flavours of lemon lime, tri-berry, citrus fruit, and orange.ZYM electrolyte tabletsZYM is one of three similar drop-and-dissolve options for people and outdoors types. The originator of the group, nuun & co. of Seattle, as well as hydration-products behemoth CamelBak Inc., offer essentially the same thing.The products from all three companies come packaged in small plastic tubes with 10 to 12 tablets inside. Prices range between about $6. 55
(nuun) to $10 (CamelBak). Within the last four years, I have used these items substantially, and each one is good. The dissimilarities come in the flavors each company offers as well because the amount and type of vitamins, electrolytes, coffee or other constitutes additional into the fizzing combine.In 2004, nuun & co. changed the category of sports drinks by introducing the original fizzing tablet.
ZYM and CamelBak are stronger-tasting. As noted, ZYM Catapult's caffeine gives a noticeable boost. (CamelBak also offers tablets with coffee. )Overall, I feel a devotee to the category of effervescent electrolyte tablets. The tiny tabs make getting sodium, potassium, magnesium (mg) and other performance enhancers into your system as easy as plunking a tablet in water. The final bonus: The sugar-free tablets do not gunk up a water jar or hydration reservoir like sugary supplements can. In comparison to the traditional alternate of mixing sports powdered in water, ZYM, CamelBak, and nuun all offer a superior solution.Original "Nuun Active" Electrolyte TabletsWith regard to a decade or so, runners and cyclists have enjoyed the benefits of adding Nuun Active electrolyte capsules to their water while exercising. Drop one into 16 oz. of normal water, and you get a pleasantly fizzy, lightly flavored drink that helps replace electrolytes you sweat out there.
It only takes fluid losses above 1% of body-weight to become dehydrated, and since you lose fluids your body is also dropping a combo of debris and minerals that must be replaced for rehydration; this where electrolyte tablets come in.THE SCIENCE BEHIND ELECTROLYTE TABLETShydration tablet formulaWhat are Electrolytes?Without electrolytes, your body simply would not work. Blended in body fluids, these small electrically charged allergens are involved in almost every function throughout the body, and are especially important when it comes to hydration. A mixture of sodium, potassium, and calcium ions creates a hydrating electrolyte balance that preserves cellular fluid balance throughout the body by moving water to where its most needed.I have used nuun since 2006 on dozens of trips and training days. The company's flavors, from lemon-lime to cola, would be the most subtle in the category. Add a nuun tablet to your bike water bottle and in about two minutes you get a drink that tastes refreshing and light. There is only a hint of flavor, and it also does not overpower water's thirst-quenching Is Ch3cooh A Strong Electrolyte natural state.
It took sugar out of the sports-drink formula and created a "fast-acting, optimally-balanced electrolyte hydration drink in a tab, inches as the company sets it.WHATEVER MAKES YOU PERSPIRE SPORTS ACTIVITYAll athletes will experience some level of electrolyte loss and dehydration. The extent of this loss is determined by the sort of physical activity, but more significantly the speed of sweat. The particular average football player sweats anywhere between 1 ) 3% - 4% of body weight each game, to represent a high loss of electrolytes. TRAVELINGLike how your body triggers a temperature controlling sweat reply during exercise, travelling in hot humid climates will make you sweat and lead to electrolyte discrepancy as your body attempts to cool down. Cabin dehydration on long carry flights causes electrolyte reduction, but not necessarily through sweat. The low dampness of an aircraft attracts moisture and electrolytes from your lungs, eyes, and nose as well as your skin.EXACTLY WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTE TABLETS?Whatever allows you to sweat, electrolyte tablets are crucial for rehydration and keeping optimum fluid balance.Cycling, diarrhoea and air craft cabins have one thing in common; electrolyte imbalance caused by fluid reduction. The fact that drinking water makes Which Electrolyte Controls The Function Of Neuromuscular Junctions? | Is Ki An Electrolyte | Risk For Fluid And Electrolyte Imbalance | Best Electrolyte Supplements | Nh4no3 Electrolyte | Electrolyte Quiz | Which Of The Following Substances Acts As An Electrolyte? | Phosphorus Electrolyte | (nh4)2s Electrolyte | Best Electrolyte Water | up between fifty - 60% of the human body, and 70 percent of muscle, heart, and brain tissue highlights how important hydration is for normal bodily function.
The nuun tabs have 360mg of sodium apiece as well as three other electrolytes, potassium, magnesium and calcium. There is no sugar, no caffeine, and little else in nuun, which takes the most minimalist approach to its product in the fizz-and-drink category.ZYM sets itself apart from nuun by adding B vitamins and, for its ZYM Catapult product, 100mg of coffee. I get a bigger immediate boost from ZYM than nuun. Its taste in either of you're able to send two flavors (berry and lemon-lime), is stronger, too.CamelBak's Elixir, another sugar-free capsule, costs about $10 for a tube of 12 tablets. This is more income than the competition, but Elixir is more concentrated and goes a bit further. Each CamleBak tablet works for up to 24 ounces of water. I often use them in a 16-ounce bike water bottle, and the flavor is noticeably more powerful than nuun or ZYM.Elixir, like one other companies' options, is easy to consume. It comes in orange, lemon-lime, and berry flavors. All are good-tasting and refreshing.

naadaan ho jo kehte ho ki kyon jeete ho 'Ghalib'
qismat mein hai marne ki tamannaa koi din aur
qismat mein hai marne ki tamannaa koi din aur
Would Mirza Ghalib's ghost have stood waiting near the coffee maker amongst neon lights for his post-dinner beverage?
The news that his haveli, which was restored only 10 years ago, was used for a wedding reception is rather appalling. Imagine people in their finery jostling amongst the poet's personal belongings. A report says the floor was "littered with food crumbs, crushed plastic glasses and disposable plates".
Why would anyone choose such a place for their celebrations? Do they feel culturally enlightened and wish to convey that to their guests? Is it some sort of antique value they seek? This isn't something new. It happens all the time – old paintings, old mansions used by the nouveau riche to convey some connection with a background they often lack. Everybody has a right to strive to make money and awareness is not the jaagir of those born into wealth. But the term nouveau is used disparagingly and not without reason. There is a category of people who will flash whatever they have.
The bride and groom may not necessarily have an acquaintance with the poet's work. What about the parents? Assuming they are fans of Ghalib, could they not respect the space? These days every little religious icon gets sanctified even if it is put up by some goon. Why don't we learn to value those who truly contributed to our lives and their works have lived down centuries?
There are many farm houses in Delhi. They could have been given that old world look and trussed one up to appear like a crumbling haveli.
Marriages are now all about event management, so this seems par for the course.
On the other hand, there is news that Indians are giving up traditional functions (that coffee maker is an indication!). I read this from an article about fusion weddings:
One affluent and typical Gujarati family had hosted an English dinner after the dandiya function. The desi best man and maid of honour, dressed in coordinated traditional Indian wear, made speeches and raised a toast to the couple as aunties and uncles grinned behind clusters of flowers on assigned tables. The last few phera mantras were translated into English on the microphone by the pandit and the couple even exchanged I dos, says the wedding planner.
I am concerned about the English dinner. I have seen food stalls with Burmese bhel, paneer dim-sums, but since we are talking about vegetarians would they stuff the jacket potatoes with poha or dal dhokli? People do drink, but I wonder about the toast. Something like, "May Jitesbhai and Falguni ben leeve hep-peeli after".
The sardars would go full throttle with a "Chak de phate, Hramindarr pra and Hramindarr pojai. Oye gud luck and many tandoori nights…"
When one passes the Marine Drive there are several garishly-decorated wedding venues. Some have thermocole elephants flanking the gate; others have a Venus ice sculpture. I have not yet seen David in the buff.
For a relative's marriage in Toronto that I was present at they had traditional ceremonies before marriage, then a nikaah with an English translation (I got there late, so missed it), and the reception was a complete volte face. The bride wore a gown. There was a Best Man who emcee-ed the show and took off his shirt. There were speeches; the tables had bows and gifts for everyone. And the couple took to the floor with a waltz…dancing to the Bollywood number "Kuchch na kaho"!
The boy migrated when he was in his late teens; the girl went there after marriage. So, all of this must have taken some practice.
Anyhow, after the initial gliding softly, everyone came to their senses and started doing the bhangra and the dandiya.
Eats the time to dhisco.
