Paramavatar Shri Krishna 5th November 2019 Written Episode Update, Paramavatar Shri Krishna Written Update on tellyshowupdates.com
Paramavatar Shri Krishna 5th November 2019 Episode Start With sudama comes with food to give to Krishna & he tells him that I can't prepare food but I have prepared this with all my love so krishna tells him to come near me & feed me with your hands. Sudama feeds Krishna very happily & Krishna eats it very emotionally. Krishna tells sudama eating this food makes me feel all the love is there of the entire world.
Krishna also tells him to ask any wish as you have never asked from me anything so sudama says you know that without your devotion I do not need anything so Krishna tells him to ask with rights of devotee so he asks I wish to get blessed by vaikunth so Krishna boons him to show vaikunth & as he goes towards vaikunth dham seeing to not to waste any time then he is stopped by somebody so as he comes in front of sudama then he realizes saying I know you are prabhu's damodar gadha & damodar god tells him I do not have any difference in my thoughts so sudama keeps talking with damodar god as he asks sudama what you need & sudama tells him I wish to get blessed of vaikunth dham then damodar god gadha explains him that I won't praise myself but you have to pray me then you can go ahead so he prays & damodar allows to go & visit vaikunth. Krishna says I know because of me you have become little arrogant with your devotion but sudama will wash your arrogance.
Sudama is stopped by bird & weapon gods again telling him to know what our importance is before going ahead so they explain him why prabhu has sent you & what we are for prabhu so you can go ahead & sudama thanks them. Krishna says your arrogant devotion will be broken by my this devotee itself.Sudama is visiting vaikunth dham appreciating about it but he searches his prabhu so prabhu comes telling him I am everywhere & he sees his prabhu Krishna in every corners so he chants krishna's mantra.
Sudama praises Krishna telling him I am blessed by seeing vaikunth dham so Krishna tells him that you have to do one work for me so sudama tells Krishna to tell me & I'll be honored to do your work then Krishna tells him to break arrogance of all those three devotees of me whom you met near vaikunth so sudama tells him they are your biggest devotees so Krishna explains him that's why they have become arrogant so a great devotee like you only can break their arrogance of devotion & without you nobody can do this.
Sudama tells Krishna that I am only a simple family devotee of your's & devotees arrogance can only be broken by him who has those powers within him & who is lost in his powerful devotion so Krishna says I understand about whom you are talking & it is none other than the only devotee after my ram avatar & ie. Mahabali hanuman. Hanuman is chanting mantra of jai shri ram & Krishna says now hanuman will only break my devotees arrogance so sudama advises that it is very simple as those devotees are to be sent to hanuman's place & Krishna feels right advise so to plan accordingly. All three devotees come in krishna's palace wondering why must have prabhu called us to meet him & Krishna tells them you have to do a work for me & they ask Krishna what is it so Krishna tells sudarshan to bring hanuman to meet me & they says this is a very simple work because we are your ultimate devotees who honor your instructions immediately. So Krishna tells them to do it.
Sudarshan says for such simple work why prabhu called us then bird god says I don't know about you but he has remembered me because prabhu knows I can do it with lightning that's why I am bird god & he goes telling them to rest.He reaches mahendragiri mountain to find hanuman & hanuman is meditating of shri ram's name & he says where ram's name then there is hanuman so he goes towards there but he does not find saying he is here only but why can't he be seen then too I'll search anyhow as I am narayan's ultimate devotee called garud & because of me all problems wash out easily. Krishna says garud devotee has a lot of arrogance in him & sudama says in front of ram's name nothing works & Krishna accepts sudama's conclusion.
Garud tries to wake hanuman from his meditation towards ram telling him that shri Krishna has called you but hanuman does not get disturbed then garud gets angry so he throws his powers from his mouth towards hanuman to disturb him so hanuman opens his eyes saying who is this disturbing my meditation & hanuman asks him who are you so garud tells him I am shrikrishna's devotee so hanuman tells him it's good so go & devote for him & let me continue my devotion towards my prabhu ram. Garud says you don't understand but I am here to tell you that you are called by my prabhu so hanuman says I can't come as I am in meditation then garud says that if you don't come then I will pull you with your tail & take you there so hanuman tells him to please make my tail change it's place as it is tired since so many years being stilt on one place so garud tries but he can't lift & also hanuman hits him by the tail. Hanuman lifts garud with the tail & throws him towards the place from where he came & seeing this Krishna smiles.
Paramavatar Shri Krishna 6th November 2019 Written Episode Update Precap : Hanuman is welcomed by Krishna at dwarka so hanuman asks who are you & Krishna tells him I am that who has called you so hanuman says so you are dwarkadhish shri Krishna so tell me why you called me here & Krishna is saying in his thoughts since so many years I was selfish to meet my devotee.

Trade Union Congress Gives G.O.B. Ultimatum on UNCAC
Attorney General Michael Peyrefitte, when last he gave an update on the implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption in December of last year, reported that the UN had informed government that it made no sense to proceed with UNCAC-related initiatives until a full report from Tuvalu and Haiti have been submitted. That new piece of information was shared with the media following a letter written by the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry to the AG's ministry. The National Trade Union Congress of Belize has also been hard on the AG's heels in respect of that matter. Today, the representative body of all trade unions in the country, called a press conference to give government an ultimatum: "show us that you are doing something meaningful with UNCAC by month-end, or else." According to Hubert Enriquez, there are recommendations from the executive summary of a pending report that can be implemented in the interim.
Hubert Enriquez, Executive, N.T.U.C.B.
"Our understanding is a bit different, we feel that, we have always known because we've been to trainings which also includes the AG and they have actually spoken about those processes and we have always known that the executive summary in what was published, was published based on the final report. It's an executive summary of what's the real thing and so it actually puzzles us to know that no action is taken because the summary gives recommendations and those recommendations could actually be implemented. And so we really are puzzled by the response, that response."
"Will the N.T.U.C.B., as mighty as it is with the combined force of all Belize's large trade unions, will the N.T.U.C.B. issue a consequence against the Government of Belize?"
Marvin Mora, President, N.T.U.C.B.
"Obviously, first we start by providing the Belizean public with the position of the N.T.U.C.B. Our resolution has made it absolutely clear that if the month of February expires and we do not see any substantial movement on behalf of the government, as you expressed, they'd be going through the motions but we have not seen anything substantial. If we don't see anything being done by government of consequence that would signify to us their willingness to continue with the implementation of UNCAC then obviously the N.T.U.C.B. will be left with absolutely no other recourse than to escalate this process. The N.T.U.C.B. is within its own right to determine how and when they will escalate this process."

It's not that long ago that a jar of instant coffee, an underpowered kettle and a shelf full of more or less clean mugs were still being passed off as adequate 'through the day' support for an organisation to provide in order to help its 'users' battle their way through a hard pressed working day.
For Users requiring 2nd line support to keep body and soul together, an area of Formica topped tables, a couple of in-house catering assistants and a range of third-party sandwiches and cupcakes, and the job was just about taken care of.
Fast forward just a few short years. Nespresso machines with latte pods every few metres. Fruit bowls and cookie jars alongside printers and copiers. Continuously restocked kitchen zones offering cereals, pastries, and avocados without limit. Refreshment areas that echo the relaxed, healthy informality of contemporary coffee shops and health food restaurants.
The reason for this transformational upgrading to End User refreshment support over the last decade?
Consumer expectation.
In the age of Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Costa, Pret and a plethora of pleasant and interesting cafes and pop-ups, the expectations of 'business users' as to what in-house 'support' should comprise have rocketed. As a result, organisations that want to keep their users happy, fed, watered… and productive have had to upgrade their in-house provision to echo the standards of an everyday consumer experience.
Coffee and IT Support are not so very different
Although at first glance, the analogy may seem strained, on closer inspection it's far from so.
The consumerisation of everyday tech hardware and cloud based services has been so far reaching and well-delivered by the Apples, Googles, Amazons and others, that we're all now used to systems that let us find and download our apps with a single click; automatically pushed and deployed updates; easy to use, friendly web interfaces; and cloud-based mobile apps that deliver genius hacks to help with previously tiresome details of everyday life.
The challenge for business Service Desks and Support teams, and for the organisations providing them and who's users rely on them, is that these 'consumerised' expectations have reset the user expectation of what a decent Service Desk experience should feel like.
The dangers of failing to rethink your Service Desk
We at Plan-Net have more visibility than most of the change in user expectations of the Service Desk, and the varying quality of organisational response.
Providing full Service Desk support, as well as a portfolio of flexible End-User support augmentation options, to a wide range of law firms, financial and other professional services firms, we are acutely aware of the dangers consumerised expectations pose to IT Service Desks that are not positioned to meet them effectively.
It does not take long for end-user dissatisfaction with a 'like it's always been' Service Desk offer to fester.
Alongside this, where organisations and their Service Desks have made little or no effort to promote mainstream and now generally well-established IT self-service initiatives, they have been unable to benefit from the associated efficiencies of reduced workload. This, more often than not, means they have also been unable to evolve the skill sets of their Service Desk analysts towards those required for a more consumer-focused model.
Improving Service Desk efficiency and End-User satisfaction
For any organisation yet to re-engineer its Service Desk to meet the expectations and needs of today's users and open up the overhead reductions that come from increasing the adoption of self-service support tools, there are learnings to be had from the experiences of others.
All such plans must be built around evaluation and evolution of your Service Desk analyst. It's ultimately by developing the skills and attributes of your analysts, and then reorganising your service based upon your 'new style' analyst, that the perceived value of IT to your organisation at large can be reinvigorated.
We believe there are 8 core tactics to deploy to provide both your users and the business with the full benefits of a modern, sustainable, 'consumerised' Service Desk offer.
- Identify the difference in skills, attributes and technology expertise between your current Service Desk Analysts, and those that would be required to deliver a true, present day service equipped to deal with today's platforms, devices, business usage, work patterns and END-USER user behaviours and expectations.
- Obtain solid buy-in for, and build excitement about the potential of, your Service Desk vision, ensuring the Service Desk, IT and the organisation all understand its skills and operations aspects.
- Use the proven wins, like reduced levels of Service Desk analyst turnover, and increased End-User productivity, to secure robust and ongoing investment in training, development and technology enablement.
- Look at the introduction of hybrid support roles, that sit somewhere between 1st and 2nd line, and which can bridge skill-sets and functional gaps to improve the efficiency of your Service Desk and quickly lift user satisfaction.
- Make sure that routine IT issues and service requests are properly and effectively automated, and give your users the power that very many of them want most - to help themselves and each other - with imaginative new approaches to self-service.
- Carry out surveys and focus groups amongst staff to help you gain a proper understanding of the role that shadow IT support is playing in the organisation.
- Identify your organisation's superusers and individual subject-matter experts, and through them try to build a proper understanding of the peer-to-peer support activity.
- Build or adopt a platform that will enable you to bring end-user, peer-to-peer support into the fold of your IT Support strategy. This should place emphasis on process and policy development that relate specifically to usage within your organisation.
Getting expert help
Being expert providers of Service Desk support, Plan-Net is short on neither experience nor ideas on how to engineer and resource Service Desk offers to meet the expectations of today's comfort-demanding End-Users.

"Save our Sirius," said the man sitting on the pavement not more than three metres away from Sirius, the social housing icon of Brutalist architecture in Sydney's historic The Rocks. "Why do they want to save a pub?"
The Sirius building is anything but a pub, as my first story about it illustrates, a fact that can be easily determined by those who care to glance upwards from their comfy perches just below it.
More than a thousand citizens of all ages, who clearly do know what Sirius is and stands for, took part in a rally on September 17 to protest the imminent eviction of the last remaining longterm residents of Sirius and the planned sale and destruction of their homes.
People from all walks of life took part, including present and past residents of Sirius, Dawes Point and Millers Point, architect Tao Gofers who designed Sirius in the 1970s, local and state politicians, as well as architecture enthusiast and radio personality Tim Ross.
Most importantly from an historical persecutive, legendary 1970s Green Bans unionist Jack Mundey participated, supported by members of the CFMEU and MUA, reminders of a time when the struggle to preserve Australia's history and heritage took place in the streets of inner city Sydney as well as suburbs like Hunters Hill.

Where is freedom?
Yesterday as I prepared for a yoga class I pulled out my trusty Dana Faulds book of poetry, knowing that I would, as I always do, find words of inspiration. But in this book that is tattered and coffee-stained from years of use, I opened directly to this poem. It is a poem that over the six or seven years I've toted this book from class to class, never saw before, never read. Preparing for class I read it for the first time, hoping to find something to comfort students during this pandemic. As I read it during class the heart of this poem gave me hope, great hope that no matter the adversarial situation we find ourselves in, eventually, there is always an opportunity to drop the armor.
This poem continued to teach me. This morning as I prepared a class on cultivating sympathetic joy - happiness for others accomplishments, I reviewed the barriers to this type of practice - judgment, envy, comparing, demeaning, avarice, prejudice, and boredom. It occurred to me that these too were types of armor and how good it feels when we can drop them on the ground - how much taller we stand.
As we start to contemplate returning to face to face interactions, perhaps there is something more we can leave behind, choosing to come into this restart taller and oh so much freer.

Scarce Dutch sea-chart, showing the Island Menorca with South at the top, which was the primary catalyst for changing the way Menorca was mapped for a number of years.
Van Keulen's chart of Menorca is based upon a manuscript chart prepared by the Van Keulen firm circa 1745. The chart was based upon a detailed study of the island, which resulted in a substantially improved cartographic depiction of the shape of the island, which was followed by other map makers for a number of yers.
This sea chart shows a an extremely detailed treatment of Menorca, oriented with South at the top. The map shows anchorages, soundings, roads, rivers and topographical details, some of which are greatly exaggerated.
The chart was a landmark in the history of the mapping of Menorca and is quite scarce on the market, this being the first example we have ever seen.

I've got a history with Internet scammers. I've spent hours on the phone with tech support scammers, and I've hunted down bot networks nigerian scammer stories fake news. But for some reason, I've lately become a magnet for an entirely different sort of scammer—a kind that uses social media platforms to run large-scale wire-fraud scams and other confidence games.
Based on anecdotal evidence, Twitter has become their favorite platform for luring in suckers. Recently, Twitter's security team has been tracking a large amount of fraudulent activity coming out of Africa, including "romance schemes"—wherein the fraudster uses an emotional appeal of friendship or promised romance to lure a victim into a scam.

François Cellier
François Arsène Cellier (14 December 1849 – 5 January 1914), often called Frank, was an English conductor and composer. He is known for his tenure as musical director and conductor of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company during the original runs and early revivals of the Savoy operas.
Succeeding his elder brother Alfred as the company's chief conductor in 1878, Cellier devoted almost all the rest of his life to comic opera. He was musical director for the original runs of nine Gilbert and Sullivan operas and fourteen full-length pieces by other writers at the Savoy Theatre between 1881 and 1902. He composed songs and also some short curtain raisers that were well received but have rarely been revived.
Life and careerEdit
Early yearsEdit
Cellier was born in South Hackney, London, the youngest of the five children of Arsène Cellier, a language teacher from France, and his wife Mary Ann Peterine, formerly Peacock, né Thomsett.[1] He followed his eldest brother Alfred as a chorister at the Chapel Royal, St James's. Like his brother and the latter's fellow pupil Arthur Sullivan, François benefited from the tutelage of the Rev Thomas Helmore, who ensured that the choristers received an all-round education in addition to their musical training.[2]
Leaving the choir school at the age of seventeen, Cellier held a series of posts as an organist, first in Belfast, Ireland, and then at the church of St John of Jerusalem, South Hackney, where he had been christened, and in 1870 St Michael's, Lower Sydenham.[3] After a spell as Sullivan's deputy organist at St Peter's, Cranley Gardens, South Kensington, he moved to St Anne's, Surbiton, where he remained for the rest of his career, in tandem with his theatrical conducting work.[3]
Cellier married Clara Short in 1873. They had five daughters and a son, François, who became an actor under the name of Frank Cellier and was the father of the actor Peter Cellier.[1]
Conductor and musical directorEdit
In July 1878 Cellier succeeded his brother Alfred as the conductor of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore during its long run at the Opera Comique, London. He remained as the company's musical director there and, from 1881, at the Savoy Theatre, until 1902, with a break between July 1880 and April 1881, when his brother temporarily resumed the position.[4] The composer conducted at first nights, but Cellier, as musical director, was the principal conductor for the original runs of Patience (1881–82), Iolanthe (1882–84), Princess Ida (1884), The Mikado (1885–87), Ruddigore (1887), The Yeomen of the Guard (1888–89), The Gondoliers (1889–91), Utopia, Limited (1893–94) and The Grand Duke (1896).[5] As the Savoy's musical director he conducted the London runs of fourteen operas by other authors or composers between 1891 and 1902,[6] fourteen revivals of Gilbert and Sullivan works, beginning with The Sorcerer in 1884 and ending with Iolanthe in 1901,[7] and a similar number of curtain-raisers and afterpieces.[8] He was appointed musical-director-in-chief at Richard D'Oyly Carte's Royal English Opera House for the runs of Sullivan's Ivanhoe and Messager's La Basoche in 1891–92.[3]
In the 1890s Cellier began conducting D'Oyly Carte Opera Company productions outside London. In 1890 he took charge of the first provincial performances of The Gondoliers,[9] and in 1894 he conducted a touring company presenting Princess Ida and Utopia, Limited.[10] In 1902–03 he led a D'Oyly Carte tour of South Africa, conducting six Gilbert and Sullivan operas and The Rose of Persia.[11] He briefly left D'Oyly Carte on his return to England in June 1903. During that month he conducted a one-off matinée performance of his new operetta, Bob (libretto by the author and journalist Cunningham Bridgeman) at the Adelphi Theatre. The piece had been premiered in Walsall in April while he was still in Africa.[12] Bob was also played by D'Oyly Carte touring companies in 1903–04.[13] In December 1904 Cellier conducted a short-lived comic opera, Ladyland, by Eustace Ponsonby and Frank Lambert at the Avenue Theatre.[14] In July 1905 he rejoined the D'Oyly Carte company, until retiring in 1913, as musical director of the touring repertory company and, at the Savoy, conducting the London repertory seasons of Gilbert and Sullivan operas in 1906–07 and 1908–09.[15]
In addition to Bob, which never played at the Savoy Theatre, Cellier composed music for several companion pieces that played together with the Savoy Operas (and often also on tour), including Mrs. Jarramie's Genie (1888, composed jointly with his brother Alfred, libretto by Frank Desprez), Captain Billy (1891, libretto by Harry Greenbank), Old Sarah (1897, libretto by Greenbank), and Pretty Polly (1900, libretto by Basil Hood).[13] These short pieces have rarely been revived professionally, but they were popular with amateur groups in the early years of the 20th century.[3]
For the Children's Pinafore in 1879–80 and the Children's Pirates in 1884, Cellier transposed the song keys to fit each individual child's voice. The choruses, especially the string parts, were rearranged so that the children's voices could be heard, and orchestral accompaniment was provided for the normally unaccompanied numbers for the support of the young male voices.[16]
The theatrical newspaper The Era commented that although his other commitments left him short of time for composition, as a songwriter Cellier was "very favourably known".[3] His published songs in the catalogue of the British Library are: "From Dawn to Dawn" (words by R. J. Martin, 1898); "Sad 'tis to Part" (words by W. S. Beadle, 1889); "The Polo Song" (words by "Marksman", 1901); "No Fear!" (words by R. J. Martin, 1903); and four songs with words by Bridgeman: "Coquet and Coy" (1887); "Hampton Courtship" (1887); "'Tis For the Best" (1888); and "Men of the Day" (1888). His short anthem, "Holy, Holy, Holy" was published in 1901.[17]
Cellier devoted his brief retirement to writing a book of reminiscences about Gilbert, Sullivan and the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company (Gilbert and Sullivan and Their Operas). He died at his home in Kingston upon Thames in 1914 before the book was completed, and his collaborator, Bridgeman, completed and published it later that year.[18]
Henry Lytton wrote:
Cellier had his heart and soul in every performance, and what that means is known only to those who work on the stage, and who do sometimes become dull and listless because of their very familiarity with the parts they are playing or because the audience cannot easily be aroused to 'concert pitch'. ... It is at just such times as these that a real conductor is worth his weight in gold. Notwithstanding that he may have seen the piece hundreds of times – and might with reason be more bored than the principals themselves – he comes to each new performance with an enthusiasm which shakes the company out of themselves and makes everything go with a will.[19]
Cellier's collaborator Bridgeman wrote of his friend's dedication to the music of Arthur Sullivan and Alfred Cellier, to the exclusion, Bridgeman felt, of all other music. Sullivan willed to Cellier the original manuscript scores for The Pirates of Penzance and Patience.[20] Bridgeman, and the anonymous author of The Era's profile, considered, as Lytton did, that Cellier's natural talent could have equipped him to rival the creative success of at least one of his two musical idols, but that indolence and lack of ambition prevented it.[3][21] Both those sources agree that Cellier's conducting technique was unshowy and strictly practical, and he took pleasure in being known as "the musician who conducts in English".[3]

Stretch is the gap between what a role-playing game has been designed to do and what it is used for by the group at the table. The term stretch was invented by Quinn Murphy.[1]
Using a game in a way that its designers didn't intend (or didn't otherwise include in its rules) is itself a form of game design. The bigger the stretch, the more design work is being taken on by the group.[1]
Stretch is usually created by hacking or converting a game, although significant house rules may also create stretch. A small tweak using the game's existing design language may not be a stretch, but introducing new design language or using it in a new way will stretch the system.[1]
Views on stretch in role-playing games vary from highly negative (those who believe games should be used for their intended purpose, and that different games may be better for groups that want a different experience) to highly positive (those who want to test the boundaries of a system, or want to use their preferred system for every game they play).[1]

The Knee: A Short History
- By Erri De Luca
In 328 BCE, Alexander the Great added the gesture of genuflection to his court ceremonies, following the practice of his vanquished enemy, Persia. It was an act of humility already practiced in Babylonia—diminishing one's stature to a greater degree than a simple bow.
The practice is common to many religions and extends to private use, by a suitor in proposing marriage.
The human body is expressly political. To participate in a demonstration is already to declare your role as a single drop, part of a dense liquid channeled into a current. In the bleachers at sporting events, the crowd stands up and sits down, intentionally conveying the image of a human wave. The body has public eloquence that everyone can understand.
The knee is the human organism's largest joint, a masterpiece of anatomy, capable of bearing in motion a weight greater than the body's own. Among parts of the body, the knee is one of our most potent symbols.
In the hundreds of demonstrations, with thousands of arrests for curfew violations, following the murder of a U.S. citizen, George Floyd, by the actions of police officers, a knee lowered to the ground has been the single most resonant act of solidarity.
In the United States, during a ceremony where a flag is presented to the family of a soldier who has died in service to the country, the family members are seated and an officer in dress uniform places his left knee on the earth, to honor and remember.
Over many days, demonstrators, epidermally both dark and pale, have joined together to reunite an America that racism would keep divided. In many sites, police and other local authorities have lowered their left knee to the ground before the demonstrators, as a gesture of military respect for this civilian casualty.
In a stadium, three years before these demonstrations, the football star Colin Kaepernik launched the idea of "taking a knee" during the playing of the national anthem, as an act of antiracist protest. His example spread, then faded away. This time it's not about an action by athletes in the limelight; it's an act taken by people who will no longer just stand and watch.
A kneecap lowered to the ground marks the start of the second half, for another America, a country made great again by its sense of civilty. From a knee on the earth, this country will begin to rise again, under a new alliance. This could be big—more than a New Deal.

ERRI DE LUCA is an Italian novelist, writer, translator, and poet.

Telegram's #TON | Top 5 Tweets
Welcome to the HODLCast BITBONICS! Today is May 12, 2020 and today's twitter search was about Telegram's #TON blockchain project.
Here are the top 5 tweets!
Number 5, from @TheBlock__
ICYMI: Messenger app Telegram's long-running and embattled blockchain project, TON, has come to an end, according to founder Pavel Durov.
Number 4, @Samuel_White13
Many investors did not believe that the TON project would not start either this year or a year later, and they were right. Today Pavel Durov officially announced that Telegram's active involvement with TON is over.

Number 2, from @mdudas
This isn't really a good outcome for anyone, honestly. I would have enjoyed seeing if a blockchain linked to Telegram could spur interesting consumer applications.
At the same time, it's unclear why this project needed $1.8 billion to begin with.

interesting note from @telegram founder @durov on the end of their blockchain project + token

perhaps one can create "decentralization, balance, and equity in the world" without $1.7B for a token?
