Were you left out of a will? While you may not have known exactly how much your parents had in investments, you probably expected to be included in their will. It can come as a complete shock to be left out of a will or awarded a much smaller portion of assets than others.
If you have concerns upon receiving a copy of a will after the death of a close relative, I can answer your questions. Depending on the circumstances, there could be several ways to challenge the validity of the will in court.
For more than 20 years, I have successfully handled a variety of estate litigation, including will contest cases, in the Nashville courts. I am comfortable in the courtroom and will not back down if we are unable to reach a favorable result through negotiation or mediation.
Do not wait to talk to a lawyer if you were left out of a will or received a smaller gift than expected. Call me today at 615-686-2115 for a free consultation.
I have represented family members across middle Tennessee who were completely or partially disinherited.
Undue Influence And Mental Capacity
To challenge a will, you must have standing — you either need to be an immediate heir under Tennessee law (generally a child or nephew/niece of a childless relative) or included in a prior will.
Undue influence can be an issue when a sibling or caregiver isolates an elderly individual and then exerts pressure to change that person's will. If your loved one was starting to slip toward the end, mental capacity could also be at issue.
Call For A Free Consultation With An Attorney
Do not stand by as another person takes away your inheritance. To discuss your situation, please call me at 615-686-2115 or send me a message.

Matthew Pastran playing his tunes on an Ocarina at the James River in September of 2016. I had never seen anything like this instrument before meeting Matthew. It has an interesting shape, texture, color and sound. It was a beautiful day to listen to a unique sound that carried across the river from our group to the people on the other side.

We recently welcomed a flock of not-so-spring chickens back to our side of the farms. This flock of 8 hens and 1 rooster is almost 4 yrs old and used to reside across the road from us. They are now staying with us until their owners find a new home and make it through their move. These lucky ladies are well cared for by Freddy Kruger, the gentlest rooster I have ever come across, who is a keen observer of danger even though he only sees out of one eye.
We spent a very pleasant afternoon with our cousins yesterday just watching them. It's rare that we sit still, but it was so blissful just watching this flock scratch and peck outside, we were mesmerized by their calming presence. I really hope municipalities and large cities like Toronto wise up and allow backyard chickens soon…really soon.
There are so many benefits beyond those delicious eggs with large, dark and nutritious yolks packed with a spectrum of good fats and supple whites that never seem to get that rubbery texture when cooked. According to "the inter-web" chickens are considered the most widely abused animal due to inhumane farming practices, hugely disappointing given how easy they are to keep. We only have nine for a limited time, but already I feel that they should be accessible to all to who choose to own them…assuming potential owners have adequate space and time to care for them that is. You really just need to be home to tend to them for about 15-30 min/day in the morning and night. The superb eggs, the simple pleasures and enriching manure they provide makes up for any small annoyances such as keeping them safe from the many predators that prowl our land. For us, it has been the best new hobby of 2015…try it if you can! I really hope we keep them safe and sound, so far so good but it's only day 4. More soon.

1. Practical Bible Teaching
2. Private Disciplines
Today I want to consider two more:
3. The Power of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit does an amazing work in transforming us into the likeness of Christ. He does this through His ministries of teaching, convicting, leading, comforting, helping and interceding for us.
2 Cor. 3:17-18 - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. [18] And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.4. Providential Relationships
I am convinced that we cannot become prevailing men of God without the help of a lot of different kinds of relationships. As we look at the life of the Lord Jesus He seemed to have relationships with 70 – 12 – 3 and 1. We see this at work in our ministry model of:
1. The Foyer (The multitude)We need all these levels to help us process truth and life and become the men God called us to be. We need people ahead of us, beside us and behind us to help us in this race called life. We need relationships that will celebrate us, cheer us on, speak truth into our lives and reflect back to us what they see.
2. The Living Room and Friendships(70)
3. The Kitchen and Family(12)
4. 1 on 1 relationships(3)
5. A good counselor(1)

Hebrews 10:24 - And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 27:5-6 - Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to change you little by little over time?
Do you have a variety of relationships in your life to help you grow and change?

Malignant tumors can originate in almost every tissue or organ in the body. Being the largest organ, the skin is not excluded. While there are different types of skin cancers, malignant melanoma is the most invasive, aggressive and deadly.
The most interesting thing about this cancer is that chances of survival and recovery greatly depend on the stage in which it is in. In the early stages, it is very treatable. This changes drastically as it approaches its final stages. It is for such reasons that a lot of emphasis is put on learning about its causes and, most importantly, the early signs.
All types of cancer require medical attention. In fact, a doctor should be consulted immediately after suspicious symptoms are noticed. The good thing is that malignant melanoma is not very common. It accounts for about 15% of all skin cancer related cases.
What is malignant melanoma; definition and pictures
Malignant melanoma definition takes the form of any other cancer definition, only that it exclusively is cutaneous in its initial stage.
Cancer develops when a part of DNA structure is damaged or mutates. DNA is a chemical substance that controls how cells reproduce and carry out their normal functions. When damaged, it means that some function or body process will be interfered with. The most common interference that leads to cancer involves rapid uncontrolled cell division. As more and more unwanted cells are produced, they accumulate to form a mass, known as a cancerous lump. Other than uncontrollable cell division, damaged DNA may take away the ability of cells to self-destruct. Cells normally 'commit suicide' when their DNA is damaged or they are no longer needed.
When the above explained complications occur in epidermal cells that give the skin its pigment, malignant melanoma develops. Note that the resulting lump will not be caused by any foreign cells or microbes. It will be the normal skin cells, just that they will have gone rogue. Therefore, it is expected that the cancerous lump will develop roots in attempt to become part of skin tissue.
During this 'normal' developmental stage, some cells may leave the original tumor, enter the blood or lymphatic system and finally settle on a healthy body tissue or organ. This is known as metastasis, one of the factors that make advanced stage cancer so hard to treat. The logic is that even if you succeed in treating one tumor, there probably are several other, maybe even more advanced tumors elsewhere in the body.
So what is malignant melanoma? It is a growth or a neoplasm that originates from melanocytes. It can also originate in cells that root from melanocytes. Don't worry if this is a bit vague to grasp. As we continue, the facts will become more clear, especially how to identify it even on pictures.
Rarely, melanoma spreads to the layer of the eye that contains blood vessels. This is known as melanoma of the eye. It develops after the eye has been over-exposed to UV rays. Another rare case is when melanoma on lip occurs.
Malignant melanoma symptoms and signs
A symptom is any indication of a health problem that cannot be seen by an observer. Pain is, for example, a symptom. A sign is, on the other hand, something that is visible to the outside world. A lump is a sign, for example. Malignant melanoma manifests both.
The most common sign is growths on skin that resemble moles. Some people refer to the growths as ugly moles. The growths may originate in skin areas that had no moles before or manifest in form of evolving moles. Since this is the most common symptom, an evaluation system has been developed for self-examination. It is referred to as the ABCDE rule.
So what does it involve? If you are to notice a new growth on your skin or one that has suddenly started evolving, check for the following;
- A (asymmetry) – normal growth should have two almost equal halves.
- B (borders) – it is a characteristic of melanoma growths to be irregular at borders. If you closely checked a normal mole, you will notice that it is very smooth at its edges.
- C (color) – suspicious growths will have multiple colors which can range from black, brown, blue, white or red. Red coloration can arise from bleeding. Pink melanoma can also occur.
- D (diameter) – normal moles don't exceed 5mm in diameter. Malignant ones continue to grow indefinitely.
- E (elevation) – if a spot on your skin manifests any or all the above characteristics and is raised above the skin, it is high time you saw a dermatologist.
It is common for cancer growths to not cause any pain, especially in the initial stages. In fact, the presence of a suspicious lesion or growth may be the only noticeable sign at first.
Malignant melanoma symptoms may include headaches, swollen lymph nodes, lumps elsewhere in the body and fever. These are indications that the cancer has spread.
Malignant melanoma causes
What causes this deadly disease? We have discussed how cancer develops. In this section, let's look at risk factors:
Direct exposure to sun
When exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, melanocytes tend to migrate and accumulate in some spots. Continued exposure may end up in destruction of the cells' DNA by harmful UV rays. People who rarely get exposed to sun or are prone to sunburns, such as children, are more vulnerable. Note that exposure to artificial UV rays may have the same effects. It is also possible to get melanoma on body regions rarely exposed to direct sunlight. A good example is melanoma on penis.
Some skin types
More cases have been reported in people with skin types I and II. Slightly higher cases occur in light skinned people compared to dark skinned individuals. Similar results are seen in people with a higher number of moles.
Hereditary factors
If a close member of your family has ever been diagnosed with this type of cancer, there are slightly higher chances that you may also develop the same.
Malignant melanoma stages and prognosis
Malignant melanoma stages can be divided in 5 sections. Medically, there are more classifications and divisions. Prognosis depends on the stage the cancer is in. Below is a generalized outlook of these stages and the survival rate:
- Stage 0 – characterized by in situ tumors. This is the most treatable stage. Malignant cells have not migrated or invaded any other body part. Survival rate is more than 96%.
- Stage I – tumors are still in situ. They however have extended roots into the dermis. This is the skin layer that lies just below epidermis. Survival rate is just above 90%.
- Stage II – at this stage, tumors have gradually gained size to over 1mm in diameter. Survival rate is between 40% and 80%
- Stage III – cancerous cells have metastasized to the lymphatic system. Survival rate is between 24% and 78%.
- Stage IV – at this stage, it may even be difficult to tell where the cancer started for sure. This is because it will have invaded other body organs such as lungs or even the brain. Survival rate is very low, between 10% and 15%.
Note that there is a huge allowance in the difference between projected survival rates. This is mainly because there is no accurate way if telling for sure which stage a cancerous tumor is in. Additionally, this is generalized information just meant to drive home the basic idea.
Other than stage, other factors used for prognosis include:
- Sex – it has been observed that more women survive this type of cancer than men.
- Thickness of the tumor – tumors that have exceeded 3 mm, measured from top to bottom-most cell, are riskier.
- Location – logically, you are likely to notice an abnormal skin growth on limbs or face compared to one on the vulva or top of the head.
Malignant melanoma treatment
Malignant melanoma treatment usually follows a therapeutic approach, especially if it has advanced past stage I.
The cancerous tumor can easily be removed the same way you would remove a cyst; that is by making a small incision and removing it. Although it sounds simple in paper, it requires a lot of preparation and expertise. This means that only a qualified doctor should perform the surgery. Luckily, advancements in medicine have allowed for much precision. These days, only a very small skin tissue portion will be removed. Surgical removal alone is an effective melanoma in situ treatment.
Melanoma in lymph nodes or in multiple places cannot be effectively treated through surgery alone. It requires other equally or perhaps more brutal methods such as chemo. Chemotherapy relies on use of toxins that kill fast dividing cells. Rapid division is a common characteristic of cancerous cells. Unfortunately, the toxins have no mechanisms of telling healthy cells from the invasive ones. This is why patients lose their hair after chemo. Some drugs are injected while others are taken orally. The treatment is done in cycles.
This is use of X-rays to kill the invasive cells. X-rays are very high-frequency rays that damage the cell DNA. The treatment requires several appointments, especially for large tumors.
In this case, medications meant to support the immune system are administered. It is a long-term treatment option which is commonly used alongside the above discussed ones. Sophisticated treatments are available in leading centers such as Ocular Melanoma Foundation.
Not many people are able to calmly absorb the shock caused by a positive cancer diagnosis. The bad thing is that diseases tend to cause more havoc in times of stress and depression. This calls for psychotherapy as part of the overall melanoma treatment regime. It is very essential and helpful.
Malignant melanoma prevention guidelines
Although it is partly curable, malignant melanoma should be prevented at all costs. Below are some tips and guidelines on how to prevent it:
Perform self-examination
This is the most reliable self-diagnostic tool you have at your disposal. Start by keeping track of your moles. This can be tedious but definitely worth the effort. Stand in front of the mirror after shower and locate all the moles you have. It will help you catch any new growth or notice sudden changes in an existing one. As seen earlier, catching this skin cancer very early is very important. Use the ABCDE rule. Also, be on the lookout for ulcers or bleeding on moles.
Protect from UV rays
You probably have heard of many applications of UV rays. What you may not have noticed is that not all types of these rays are used. Some are incredibly dangerous especially if exposed for a long time. They not only cause damage to DNA but also encourage mutation. You can minimize the amount of UV rays that land on your skin by not staying too long in direct sun, wearing sunscreens and avoiding artificial sources of these rays.
Check with your doctor
We identified a list of risk factors earlier in this article. If you have any reason to believe that a growth on your skin is not normal, see your dermatologist immediately.
It is estimated that less than fifty individuals in a random group on hundred thousand will have malignant melanoma. This is partly because it is perhaps rarest of all skin cancers.
The earlier melanoma is caught, the higher chances of survival are. Survival rate drops significantly from one stage to another. Take advantage of melanoma images and amelanotic melanoma pictures when doing self-diagnosis.
Most if not all melanoma tumors will resemble a mole in one point of their development. This should not make you worried if you have many moles all over your body. In fact, an adult human can have up to 50 moles that develop by their twentieth birthday. Just be on the lookout for mole-like growths that keep growing, bleed, or don't obey the ABCDE rule.
Seeking treatment is the best way forward. Although it is one of the most deadly diseases, melanoma can be cured.

This feeling of numbness surrounds every cell of my body. Is it a good or bad thing?
There seems to be a sense of comfort in this listlessness. Being oblivious to emotions, sentiments and feelings is a good escape route but how long can one escape from oneself?
It's these very feelings and emotions that make each one of us unique individuals.
But if I feel numb, I don't feel anymore, and if I don't feel then how do I feel numb? The "feeling" still exists; I should feel nothing at all, shouldn't I?
Could being numb be equated to being dead? If so am i comfortably dead then?

1st of AprilAuthor: Unknown /
The first of April or all fools day as known world over is day to pull a fast one on all your friends and dear ones.
Some say that this day had its origin when Noah sent his dove off too early, before the waters had receded. It was the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April. There are different takes for this day.
However, for me, this day holds a very special meaning for it's the birthday of a very special person in my life... someone whom i love more than anything else in this big wide world...my grandfather...
I was the apple of his eye and he the center of my little world. The moments we shared will be etched in my memory forever...be it the walks with him down Dhondy Road with the loony dogs, spotting the guavas together on the tree, running to the pump house to turn the water on, swinging on his lungi, climbing all over him like he were Mount Everest, or just sitting and listening to his stories of the war and army...
I will always miss my grizzly bear. Happy Birthday Dada :)

|Is that musician wearing flip flops?
Yesterday I spent a good two hours in the basement of the Worthington Public Library going through a microfilm reel from the Franklinton, Ohio Freeman's Chronicle published between 1812 and 1814. It's the same paper from which I posted a selection of classified ads two years ago. Although I didn't find many new things, I was able to immerse myself in the world of a frontier town two hundred years ago. There were some familiar names, like Goodale, along with many others whose names have passed from public memory. In 1812 Franklinton was still a frontier village--but the number of brick houses, taverns, shops, and the handsome courthouse belie the image of a crude settlement made up of log cabins (but there were certainly plenty of those). Even during the height of the British blockade in 1813 and 14 you could still get a number of luxury items, including Chinese tea and Caribbean coffee. The state capital of Chillicothe was a few miles south, and the future capital city--Columbus-- was a sparsely settled rise of land called Wolf Ridge overlooking Franklinton from across the Scioto River.

Welcome to this week's edition of "Movie News Monday!" ("MNM!")
What is 'MNM' all about?
In case this is your first time here, "Movie News Monday!" (MNM) is the place to visit every Monday for a quick recap of trending entertainment news! I've collected info, rumors, etc from all over just for you to keep you updated on movies being released, actors/actresses in roles, dvd releases to keep a lookout for, which movie won in the box office over the weekend, etc! Are you ready for your weekly update? Here it is!
This Just In!!…
#1- "The Weekend Winner." Last weekend, 4 more wide new releases entered the box office arena and hoped for the top 4 spots. Out of all them only one took top honors and actually one didn't even make it into the Top Ten. The Butler saw great success over Kutcher's Jobs and We're the Millers maintained its spot at #2. Elysium dropped by 57% but still came in at #3. Next week, I wouldn't be surprised if both The Smurfs 2 and The Wolverine say "bye-bye" to the Top Ten.

What did YOU watch this weekend?
#2- "New SINISTER photos for The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Spider-Man will websling his way into theaters once again very soon in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. That being the case, plenty of new photos continue to hit the "web" giving glimpses of what to expect. The gallery below are the latest offerings which include a possible tease for the rumored Sinister Six. (Click any image for fullscreen slideshow, scroll using arrow keys)
I, for one, am very interested in seeing what exactly director Marc Webb has in store for us with the upcoming sequel.
Here is the official synopsis for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which is scheduled to hit theaters on May 2, 2014:
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
Any guesses on Stan Lee's cameo?
#3- "Go Joe!…to the Twilight Zone" No, no G.I. Joes here, but director Joseph Kosinski has his eyes on The Twilight Zone! Kosinski, who recently directed Oblivion and also directed Tron: Legacy, is said to be in talks to direct another full-length feature (one was made in 1983, see the trailer HERE) based on the classic show originally from the mind of host Rod Serling. I expect that Kosinski will find a way to make this contract concrete as he seems to have a knack for science fiction.
Those hoping for more news on the planned sequel to Tron: Legacy…there is currently no word on how or if being attached to The Twilight Zone will affect the proposed scheduling for the Tron sequel. Time will tell.
Apparently there were plans to fly William Shatner in to help facilitate the negotiations, but execs were concerned he would freak out in the plane mid-flight. Something about something on the wing or something like that. 😀
Are you interested in a TZ movie? Who else do you think could direct it?
#4- "Promoting the Hobbit."The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has a new set of promo images (including activity books) and a poster.
Check them out: (Click any image for fullscreen slideshow, scroll using arrow keys)
This morning, on Reddit, I found a post from someone who didn't like the new promo poster and made their own. I quite like their edition myself:
Here's the official synopsis for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug:
The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.
Are you ready for December 13?
#5- "This Week's Blu-ray release." This week, look for the following films on Blu-ray to possibly add to your collection:
Epic– Beautiful visually, this story will be fine for kids to see even if it is highly redundant and plagued with the horrible voice acting of Beyonce. Not to be confused with Fern Gully, Epic did little to impress me and received quite the low score from me, but you can check it out for yourself this week. It has its moments in 3D such as going through the forest on the back of a hummingbird. Check it out if you wish. Read my full review HERE.
Several other films also release this week. Check it out!
Also releasing:
- Amour
- Killing Season
- Shadow Dancer
- …and more.
Which will you pick up?
This week's WEEKLY WATCHES: I don't get to review everything I watch. That being the case you don't get an idea of my thoughts on some of the movies I check out for you that you may be interested in. At the bottom of 'MNM' I will attempt to, each week, post the films I DID watch over the week and (if you care to know my thoughts) if you ask about them in the comment section, I will share my feelings toward the film in question.
-Also watched: Kick-A$$ 2
Tell me, what did YOU watch this week?
Well, that's it for this round of "Movie News Monday!"
Thanks for reading! Happy Watching!
–T, The Focused Filmographer
up next: "Time to Vote Tuesday!"

We first opened our doors at Passaic County Tire in 1971. Since the beginning, service has been everything to us. We offer the best tire services in New Jersey for the best prices, including NEW AND USED TIRE SALES, FLAT TIRE REPAIR, TIRE MAINTENANCE, EXPERT WHEEL SENSOR REPAIR AND ALUMINUM RIM REPAIR.
Since 1971, we've always offered the best deals on new tires in New Jersey. We offer a full line of competitively priced passenger tires, light truck tires, commercial tires, industrial tires, OTR tires, and farm tires from the industry's best tire brands.
We specialize in Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, Pirelli, and a dozen other major brands, always at the lowest prices. When your tires are worn, they won't perform correctly; worn tires heat up more quickly, puncture more easily, and take on roads less effectively. They may also be a danger to you and other motorists. However, worn tires aren't the only reason to install new tires. Depending on your environment and needs, it may be wise to purchase and install new tires even if your current set is okay. This is because using tires that are unfit for your needs can quickly deteriorate them.
If you need assistance finding the right tires, our expert staff can help. We also offer the most affordable tire recycling on your old tires.
If you find yourself in need of replacement tires, but you think that brand new tires might not be in your budget, why not consider a set of used tires? At Passaic County Tire, we have a great selection of used tires—including a comprehensive selection of used truck tires—for sale for all of our customers in New Jersey.
Used tires are ideal if you're planning to trade in your car or truck soon, or if one tire needs to be replaced and you want it to match the wear on your other tires. Used tires are also more cost efficient. At Passaic County Tire, every tire is inspected closely to guarantee exceptional performance standards.

Fortunately, our staff is here to help with all your balancing needs using computerized wheel balancing equipment. In addition, we also provide tire rotation service which involves changing the position of a vehicle's tires in order to prevent uneven tread wear.
Uneven tread commonly occurs because most vehicles do not distribute weight evenly between the front and rear tires. By rotating your tires, you'll distribute the wear more evenly, and you won't need to replace your tires as often and improves gas mileage.

To any of you who don't know the story, let me tell it to you in brief.
In December of 2005 I expressed a desire to go to Roswell to attend the "Ancient of Days" conference. I saw the line-up of speakers and wanted to hear what they had to say. Many of them were speaking from a Biblical aspect and that interested me, seeing that I had already been a freelance Christian UFO Investigator for many years. Hearing that I wanted to go, a man named Joe Jordan, who said that he was interested in my work asked me if we could share the expense of a rental car and bunk together. I had already read up on Joe and thought it would be a way to save money and meet this other researcher. I also wanted to meet a man named Jim Wilhelmsen, whose work, which seemed to be outlandish at the time, still interested me.
So I schlepped down to Albuquerque where I hooked up with Joe. We went out to get the midsized car that I had reserved and was met outside by a clerk who offered us a big Ford SUV at no extra cost. I accepted this offer of course after which we proceeded down to the place where all of the kooks and nuts hung out, or so we thought. We found out that a lot of Christians, or those who call themselves by that name also went down to Roswell to get answers. I met a few people whom I admire and three or four that I wish I had never met. It's hard having the discernment of the Ruach Ha Kodesh around people who do not have this gift. I basically knew who the snakes were and who were true believers in Yeshua and had I tried to tell any of these new associates, whom I had just met what I had discerned, it would have caused them to label me as a troublemaker.
On or around the 4th of July in 2005 we met early in the morning with Dave Flynn, his brother Mark and others who came to Roswell with them. We were all heading out into the desert to the coordinates that David had calculated to be the actual crash site in 1947. David came to the coordinates by the use of sacred geometry which he asserted the enemy uses. In other words, break their math code and you could understand many things that the elites are doing. David explains it on the video that we recorded of him. It is located here if you want to check it out on YouTube.
So we were off to the desert on a day when the temperatures were forecast to go well over one hundred degrees. We followed David whose brother Mark carried a high grade GPS detector. Almost there, we had all of the guys pile into the SUV because the little car that David rented was not able to handle the ruts in the dirt road. We finally got close and parked the car; hiking in a couple of miles, aided by Mark's GPS device. We got the first clue that we were not welcomed there when Mark's GPS, which was tracking about nine satellites all of a sudden lost all of those satellites. The GPS was working fine but the satellites blinked out; and this happened twice. Mark assured me that it was basically impossible for that to happen. We noticed something else too; something that made me know that we were on the right track. It was very hot that day; however our trek both in and out of the area found us covered by a thin clouds that blocked a lot of the sun and made the journey more tolerable. When we got to the site the clouds disappeared as in a likewise fashion they did when we returned back to the truck. At the site there was a strong breeze that kept us cool the whole time that we were there. Yes, even though the enemy didn't want us there, Yahweh wanted us there.
So why would Yahweh want us at the crash site? Why go to what many know to be an enemy stronghold? I asked myself that same question our first night in Roswell. I felt the unction of the Ruach Ha Kodesh to write something for our next day's travel to the desert. I said, "Yahweh, all we're doing is going out to the desert to see if David's calculations were on par with what happened in that desert back in 1947. Why write something?" The answer came as I started to write.
Bless this land Lord. Turn it again unto thyself. Turn around all evil perpetuated by this place and the events that happened here and bring about good. Sanctify this land so that only Your Name will be magnified by its remembrance.
For many years this place has been associated as 1947. We proclaim it to be a symbol of 1948, which is when your prophetic time clock started again ticking. We proclaim it as a sign of the coming of the Son of Man.
We pray for a renewal for Roswell and all of the surrounding area. We pray for changed hearts and renewed minds. In the Name of Yeshua we claim Roswell for you. We place your banner over her residents. We claim her elected officials for you. We claim that her attraction toward Babylon will become an abhorrence of evil. We claim her occult businesses for you, that they may turn and become outlets of Holiness.
We stand here on this land in recognition that when two or more are gathered in Your Name, you are with us. We also recall your promise, that whenever we ask our Father anything in Your Name, we can rest assured that that purpose will become a reality…Amen.
We were going into the desert to perform Spiritual Warfare so that in time, Yahweh would possess Roswell. Someday Roswell, the bastion for everything UFO, would become the bastion for Yahweh.
We Were Not Alone:
What I wrote above can be found on our website but what I'm about to present is brand new; at least it is to me.
I got an email from a guy named Doug and in the course of his text he asked me if I had ever noticed that the video that I posted on YouTube actually had two UFOs in it? I wrote back and asked him where. He said that it was around 7 seconds and also 20 seconds into the video. I found the video on my computer and ran it through a movie making software and sure enough, they were right at the times where Doug said they would be. The first still shot shows a disk which is traveling so fast that in one frame it is to the left of David Flynn and in the second still picture it is leaving the frame, to the upper right:
Below is the second picture with the object leaving the frame in the upper right:
In the following picture a small "hockey puck" shaped UFO is just to the left of David's face:
Of course, it is the contention of some that these "craft" are not real; that they are psychic manifestations at best, as are the abductions of people. Well, the camera doesn't lie. These two objects sped through the frames very quickly, and invisible as far as we were aware, only to be caught on camera.
I regret so much that David Flynn never lived to see the objects that have been found in this video. I know that the presence of two different objects right at the beginning of this video would only prove to him more that his calculations were correct. The place that David's calculations led us to is of high importance to the enemies of Yahweh. The thing is that now this piece of land, along with the whole area of Roswell have been claimed for Yahweh, in the name of Yeshua Ha Mashiach, so it severely hampers what the enemy wants to do there and also it causes everything that is done by the enemy to be used by Yahweh for His purposes and His finality in the history of the time/space continuum.
I have a feeling however, that when David passed from this life and into eternal life, that Yahweh Yeshua told him all that happened that day. David is one up on us because he has probably seen the end of all things like our Yeshua has. The mind that David was blessed with was incredible. Many people covet to be blessed in such a manner. David asked for wisdom and he was given incredible wisdom. He yielded himself to Yahweh to be used in wonderful ways and Yahweh honored David's surrendering of will to Him.
And in addition to all of this, Yahweh is even more amazing, because in his infinite wisdom Yahweh made it so that David was born along with an identical twin whose name is Mark. Mark has taken the torch and is running with it. Yahweh is not finished using the Flynn family for his glory, not even close to being finished. David and Mark are being used to leave a legacy for Yahweh that will not only be used through their generation, but by many generations of Flynn's to come, should Yeshua tarry in His return. What an honor it has been for me to be used by Yahweh for his purpose, and also to know David and Mark Flynn. I'm sure that when we all get to Glory we will be able to fellowship again, all of us together, and we'll glory to know in visage the one whom we have had faith in all of these years. The best is yet to come.

Taxpayers like you and me go to great lengths to try and save on taxes. We try and invest in various tax saving instruments, without analysing whether these instruments help us meet our financial goals or not. Sometimes, we end up investing in schemes after reading good reviews about it in reputed magazines, newspapers, television etc. without doing our own due diligence.
Sometimes, Individuals also resort to dubious activities to save tax on their income, and in this process they may become tax evaders, which is illegal as per our Law. However, our Tax Provisions provide sufficient scope for Tax Planning. There are several provisions in Income tax law, which can help you save tax through proper planning and execution.
HUF or Hindu Undivided Family is one such avenue which can help you save tax. I remember clearly during my CA articleship days how Gujarati families used to open their HUF accounts through my CA firm as soon as they get married. At that time, I used to wonder whether it is such an efficient means of tax saving by forming HUF.
Let's have a look at this a relatively unknown tax saving tool.
What is an HUF?
The term HUF stands for 'Hindu Undivided Family' and comprises of all descendants of a common male ancestor and includes their wives and unmarried daughters. The term of HUF is not defined in income tax law; it is defined under the Hindu Law as a family.
The family continues to exist even after the death of the common ancestor and the next eldest male member becomes the head of the family or the "Karta". In financial terms, we can call him 'manager of the family'. Even on the death of all the male members, the HUF continues to exist.
What is so special of an HUF?
Under the tax laws in India, an HUF is treated as an independent person (Separate legal entity) for tax purposes and also assessed to tax separately as a distinct legal person. It means, like you and I, it is a taxable entity and is subject to tax provisions in India. Therefore, like an individual taxpayer, it has all the benefit of Income Tax Slabs, Deductions u/s 80 and the majority of the tax provisions including exemptions which are otherwise available to Individuals.
So, if an individual is able to structure his taxable income or split his taxable income between his Individual self and his HUF, he can claim double benefits for deductions and expenses in both capacities, thereby substantially reducing his overall tax liability. An individual can file two income tax returns, one in his individual capacity and second in the name of his HUF.
How is an HUF formed?
The term 'Hindu Undivided Family' (HUF) is defined under Hindu Law, so it can't be created by an agreement between two parties, nor can it be formed by group of people who do not constitute the family. Membership to an HUF comes from the status of the person in such family and so to be a part of an HUF, you must have lineally descended from a common Male ancestor.
HUF also gets created immediately upon the marriage of an Individual. In such a situation, the HUF will comprise of two members, the individual and his spouse. On the birth of any child, the HUF will also include the child as a member. Any individual who is born Hindu, Sikh, Jain or Buddhist can form an HUF, provided he is married. All lineal descendants of the Karta, their spouses and children automatically become members of his family. However all the family member do not require to live under the same roof, they can continue to live separately.
What are the benefits of using HUF from an Income Tax perspective?
Since an Individual and an HUF has similar benefits under the Income Tax Act, 1961, if a married individual can shift his income legally to his HUF, then he will have the benefit of much lower tax liability.
Similarly, several individuals are not able to utilise the exemptions and deductions available to them under provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961. For e.g. Section 80 C, 80 G, 80 D etc. Because of the sub-limits imposed on such deductions. For e.g. Maximum Deduction u/s 80 C is restricted to Rs. 1,50,000/-. Such individuals can route these payments through their HUF and thereby avail the benefit of deductions under these sections through their HUF.
Let's try to understand this better with the help of an Example.
Option A
Let's take the case of Mr A, a married man having two children working in the Corporate Sector and earning a Salary of Rs. 20, 00,000/- per year. His income includes income from investments of Rs. 10, 00,000/-. He also pays Life insurance Premium of Rs 60,000/- for his family, PPF investment of Rs. 1, 00,000/-. His Company deduct PF of Rs. 1,50,000/- from his Salary. He also pays medical insurance premium for himself and his family of Rs. 20, 000/-
Option B
Let's assume that Mr A is able to legally shift his income from investments of Rs. 10,00,000/- to his HUF. He also pays Life Insurance premium of Rs. 60,000/- and PPF of Rs. 1,00,000/- in his name from his HUF. Let's see his revised tax outflow in this scenario.
The Tax liability of Mr A's HUF will be as follows,
Savings of Tax under option B= Rs 2, 11,150 per year.
(6, 94,220 – 4,83,070)
Thus, from the above example, it is evident that, if A is able to legally shift the incidence of taxable income from his individual capacity to his HUF and make payment of expenses on which he gets tax deductions from his HUF, he is able to save nearly Rs. 2,00,000/- every year.
Sounds too good to be true right! Now, in order to generate income and invest in the name of the HUF, it is important to capitalise the HUF or generate income in the hands of the HUF. How can you do that?
This step is the most important step in tax planning using the HUF route. Unless the HUF has its own capital, it will not be able to make investments thereby not generating tax efficient returns for the family. Hence, it is essential to ensure that the HUF has sufficient funds to help make investments in its own name.
Following are some of the legal ways in which an HUF can be capitalised
- Through an inheritance
If Mr A is expected to receive some inheritance through a will, he can choose to take the inheritance in the name of his HUF rather than taking the inheritance in his own name. By clearly mentioning in the will that the inheritance would belong to the HUF of Mr A, it can be ensured that the income arising from the investment is taxed in the hands of the HUF of Mr A rather than Mr A in his individual capacity.
For e.g. If the Individual in our example is expected to receive ownership of a house property which has been let out as rent in his name under a will, he can choose to receive it in the name of his HUF. That way, the rental income which is received by the HUF can be used to generate capital for HUF.
- Gifts received by HUF
Gifts can also be obtained by Mr A in the name of his HUF. In case if the amount of gifts received by Mr A in the name of his HUF is in excess of Rs. 50,000/-, it will be taxed in the hands of the HUF as Income from Other sources. However, if the gift is received from relatives, this restriction of Rs. 50,000/- also does not apply.
What are the other benefits of routing your investments through your HUF?
As mentioned earlier, the HUF is subject to the majority of the provisions which are applicable for an Individual. This would include,
- Basic exemption limit on which no tax is levied of Rs. 2,50,000/- (for Assessment Year 2016-2017)
- Deductions u/s. 80 C, 80 D, 80 CCF, 80 DD, 80DDB, 80G etc.
Hence, HUF income can be used to incur expenses of the family including all the members and thereby take advantage of double deductions u/s 80 C, 80 D, 80 CCF, 80 DD etc. It can also distribute income earned by it as gifts to its members and the same is tax-free income in the hands of the members.
It can also be used to pay insurance premium (e.g. Health and Life Insurance) of all its members, invest in mutual funds, invest in shares, debentures, National Savings Certificates, fixed deposits etc. on behalf of its members. HUF can also invest in long-term infrastructure bonds Exemptions or deductions if any enjoyed by such investments under Income Tax Act, 1961 would be available for the HUF.
What kind of paperwork is required for an HUF?
- Obtain PAN number in the name of the HUF.
- Open bank account in the name of the HUF.
- Open Demat account in the name of the HUF.
- Use the HUF's bank account to make all investments / expenses.
- Maintain proper documentation and books of accounts to keep own investments and investments of HUF segregated.
- KARTA of the HUF will have the power to sign all the documents on behalf of the HUF.
- Filing income tax return separately for the HUF.
What are Drawbacks of an HUF?
The assets of the individual will now become the assets of the HUF as a family unit comprising of the individual and all members of the family. All members of the family would have a right on the assets unlike if the assets were owned by an individual in his own name. Therefore, proper caution should be exercised before transferring assets in the name of the HUF.
An Individual cannot transfer his assets to the HUF since the Clubbing provisions u/s 64 (2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 would apply and the income earned from the transferred asset would continue to be taxed in the hands of the transferee.
Similarly, Partition of the HUF will have to be carefully thought through. The dissolution of an HUF will take place after the full partition of the assets of the HUF amongst its members. This may require execution of legal documentation to make it full proof.
As the maxim goes, a penny saved is a penny earned. Use of an HUF structure is an efficient and legal way to save tax, especially for high-income earners. This helps them to maximize the benefits available under the existing provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961 to plan and save tax on their income which otherwise may have been taxed at higher rates.
Word of Caution
This article merely seeks to provide you with some information on possible avenues to reduce your tax liability. The establishment of an HUF, its capitalisation, maintenance of books of accounts and records, filing tax returns, distribution of assets etc. should be managed meticulously to avoid any issues from Income Tax Authorities. Hence, please consult a Tax practitioner or a Practising Chartered Accountant for guidance before you try and use this route.

28th August Double Bill:
Glass Dancers/ George Moore Septet
Although we can't keep the weather consistent, one thing is for sure: no-one can accuse us of having a narrow-minded approach to bringing you the best of London's improvised live music!
After last Tuesday's awesome display of instrumental energy and compositional craftsmanship from the mighty Ed Puddick Big Band we turn over this week to two left-field portraits of contemporary music making in London today.
Firstly Glass Dancers is a new project bringing together an acoustic string quartet, percussion and electronic music by trumpeter and SECollective member Rory Simmons. Fusing elements of contemporary classical composition with electronica production, Glass Dancers sets angular glacial strings against a distorted sonic landscape, with flickering beats and rumbling audio sitting alongside bustling strings and hypnotic melodic statements.
Sounds great eh?
This music is somewhere between the fragmented sonic world of David Torn and Max De Wardener, with the twisted contemporary classical nature of Ben Frost, Ligeti and Nicolas Bernier and the cinematic ambience of Boards Of Canada. All composition, programming and audio editing/processing by Rory Simmons. It has been co-produced and mixed by Ben Lamdin of Nostalgia 77
The string quartet includes Marianne Haynes and Paloma Deike on violin, Amy May on viola and Natalie Rozario on cello; with drummer and percussionist John Blease also featured on several tracks.
Pianist George Moore brings his much acclaimed Septet to the SECollective this week, showcasing his original compositions, drawing on a wide range of contemporary influences.
Featuring Will Rixon, Sam Bullard, Lewis Wright, Ben Barritt, George Moore, Tom Farmer & Daoud Merchant.
We look forward to seeing you down there!

Set Up for Data-Driven Alerts
Tableau Server on Windows now includes Tableau Services Manager (TSM), which replaces the Configuration Utility and the tabadmin command line tool. If you need help for an earlier version of Tableau Server, see the Tableau Help page.
When data reaches important thresholds for your business, data-driven alerts automatically send email notifications to key people users specify. As a Tableau Server administrator, you set up data-driven alerts much like you do subscriptions. For information about how users create and manage these alerts, see Send Data-Driven Alerts in Tableau User Help.
Note: To create and receive data-driven alerts, users need access to related databases and views. See this list of requirements for details. If alerts are enabled for a site, any user on that site can create them.
Configure email for data-driven alerts
Complete the steps in Configure SMTP Setup so the server can send email.
While viewing a site, click Settings at the top of the browser window.
Under Email Settings, enter a site-specific "From" address or message footer.
A site's "From" address and message footer are also used in emails for subscriptions.
Click Save.
Manage all data-driven alerts in a site
At the top the browser window, click Tasks, and then click Alerts.
Select any alerts you want to update.
From the Actions menu, do any of the following:
Add or remove yourself as a recipient.
Edit alerts to change data thresholds, delivery schedules, and the full list of recipients.
Change alert ownership to different users, or delete alerts.
Disable data-driven alerts for a site
Data-driven alerts are supported for all sites by default, but administrators can disable them for specific ones.
While viewing a site, click Settings at the top of the browser window.
Under Data-Driven Alerts, uncheck Let users create alerts and receive alert emails.
Click Save.
Tip: To entirely disable data-driven alerts at the server level, change the tsm configuration set option,
features.AlertOnThresholdCondition, to false.
Control how often the server checks data-driven alerts
By default, Tableau Server checks every 60 minutes to confirm whether data conditions for alerts are true. If you notice performance impacts, you can customize this time interval with the tsm configuration set option,
Regardless of the
dataAlerts.checkIntervalInMinute setting, the server also checks alerts whenever extracts in the related workbook are refreshed. To check an alert more frequently than the setting specifies, change the extract-refresh schedule.
Track the server's alert-checking process
In the Background Tasks for Non Extracts view, you can track the server's alert-checking process by looking for these tasks:
Find Data Alerts to Check
Check If Data Alert Condition Is True
The "Find" task limits "Check" tasks to alerts that can currently send related emails. For example, if a user has chosen an email frequency of "Daily at most", after the alert condition becomes true, the server waits 24 hours before checking the alert again.
Each "Check" task uses one server backgrounder process, loading the related view to evaluate the alert condition. If all users see the same version of a view, it loads only once. But if users have applied filters to a view, or the data they see is limited by user-level security, the view loads once for each recipient.
Identify and fix failing alerts
As an administrator, you can proactively identify failing alerts that users may be unaware of. To check:
Select Status in your site menu
Select Background tasks for non-extracts
From the Task drop-down menu, select Check if Data Alert is True
In the far right, click on Error to see a list of failing alerts
Hover over the red failure icon to display a tooltip with alert details
To determine the alert owner, look for the alert ID number in the data_alerts table of the Tableau Server Repository. (In the alert management area of a site, you can also look for the alert name following the number, but be aware that multiple different alerts may use the same name.)
Note: Starting in Tableau Server 2018.3, alert owners will be automatically notified when an alert fails ten times. Administrators can customize when alert owners receive notifications. Administrators can configure Users will not be notified for alerts that failed prior to upgrading to Tableau Server 2018.1.
Failing alerts are often caused by content changes on Tableau Server. Encourage users to recreate alerts if changes like the following occur:
A workbook, view, or data field is removed or renamed.
Database credentials embedded in workbooks expire. (Alerts require workbooks to use either embedded credentials, or none at all.)
A data source becomes inaccessible.
Tip: To automatically get emailed when alerts fail, follow the steps in Collect Data with the Tableau Server Repository, and connect to the "background_jobs" table. From that table, create a custom view that includes the "Check If Data Alert Condition Is True" job name and its finish code. Then set up a data-driven alert to email you whenever a finish code equals 1 (failure).

Agriculture Land is shrinking in America, every day land is being redeveloped for shopping malls, new houses, or new schools. Every day America, the home of the brave, is growing rapidly.
According Edward Thompson who wrote the California Agriculture Land Loss & Conservation: The Basic Facts states "that since 1990 urban development has consumed an acre of land for every 9.4 people statewide. (Referring to California) In the San Joaquin Valley, the rate is for every 8 people."
The facts are that while people are leaving California right now there is still a major population that is expanding rapidly.
"Development is consuming an 40,000 acres of agricultural land per year" elaborates Thompson. "In the San Joaquin Valley, which accounts for over half of California's total agricultural output, more than 60 percent of all land developed was prime, unique or of statewide importance to agriculture "
With all this rapid consumption of land, why is it important to keep agriculture land from being developed:
- "21 million American jobs have their root in the U.S. food and fiber industry—more than five times as many workers as the U.S. automotive manufacturing, sales and service sectors combined. Source: American Farm Bureau Federation, Dept. of Labor"
- "Agricultural exports alone generated 920,000 the non-farm sector in 2008.Source: USDA"
- "With reference to the combined agricultural production and processing industry, for every $1 of direct labor income in agriculture, $1.27 additional labor income is generated in the state." Source: Cornett, Richard Western Farm Press
Regardless of the figures above there is the culture and the lifestyles of the farm families that are being destroyed during the process.
Tomorrow I am planning to expand further on agriculture land loss. But in till then have a good night.

Film Club: Great Westerns
The Western has been the major defining genre of the film industry, using the expanse of the American frontier – the border between civilization and wilderness – as the backdrop for indelible morality tales. In choosing six of the absolute best, made by name directors both in America and abroad, we've also chosen films that defy the simplicity of White Hat vs. Black Hat: almost all these movies generated controversy on their release, and their complex heroes and villains, portrayed by the finest actors of their time, have become enduring film archetypes.

Street Driving the Lithium-powered Zombie – 48 miles on less than 50% battery use!
It's always good when actual results verify previously crunched numbers As we were designing and building the Zombie's Dow Kokam LiPol pack, with 22.7 kWh available @ C2, and with my up-close familiarity with Datsun 1200s ( I have a pair of electrified ones), I had predicted 110-120 miles per charge at easy freeway cruising, and under not-so-perfect conditions 90-100 miles. Many doubt it, when I report that Blue Meanie only consumes about 178-185 Wh per mile, but the reality is, those are the numbers. The Datsun 1200 coupe is a small car, thus it has a small frontal area, and stock the little Datsun only weighed 1587 lbs. Blue Meanie is fitted with 175/70/13 LRR Goodyear tires pumped up to 50 psi, its wheel bearings are easy-rolling, and its rear end has the stock small case pumpkin that again, has little drag. With 700 lbs. of Hawker lead and a hefty quad subwoofer stereo system adding weight, the car weighs 2450 lbs. and can go 40-45 miles at 45-50 mph speeds with a lead acid pack that only has 7.9 kWh of energy.
The Zombie of course, is a different story! In back, everything is wrong for range. Continue reading
Wayland Invitational – Version 5.2?
By now it's fairly well known we had a good night on Friday. Perhaps more important than exceeding our goal of 'cracking the 10s' however, is the way all our friends, family, supporters, and sponsors were there to make it even more special. Indeed, Friday was more like version 5.2 of the 'Wayland Invitational V' than just another weekend's Late Night Drags! The 4th run of the night came at 9:08 pm. With the juice cranked up more, I was hoping it would be enough to push us into the 10s, and thought it might be a 10.85-10.9. The launch had a strong 1.62 60 ft.,
and the 1/8 mile was a quick 6.522 @ 106.33 mph. As the Zombie sped away we all leaned in anticipation: we didn't just touch the 10s – we blew deep into them!

One day, when all this ends, and it will one day, for everything ends, I will name it:
The chapter of the Cardinal.
In a crust of pale indifference its bright feathers were the embodiment of a beating frozen heart. In days to come, a tiny figurine of a red Cardinal will make my spirit rejoice with remembrance, mindly unfolding like a fancy oriental fan: Hills of fields and forests, farm houses and dirt roads, woofie pies and sourdough crackers.
Other chapters have long since faded, though they still come back, carried by sound and sight perfumed air, and I know someone somewhere lives them as I once did:
A childhood that is sand and scented desert shrubs; Youth of soft silent winds in darkened streets and empty playgrounds, where daytime chatter dissolved into the hastened sound of my footsteps.
There was the chapter of Jerusalem, a tangled dream between stone walls and dust and the cruelest brightest sunlight, from which I fled to the Galilee, where prophets speak of birds and flowers and only madmen turn the tables.
A note to myself for all springs to come:
A red bird on the branch of a dormant tree is singing –

Importance of mother's milk for a newborn
Indian scholars have compared mother's milk to "amrit". The Charaka Samhita, written over two thousand years ago, emphasizes the importance of mother's milk. Indian women have been following this tradition since time immemorial.
The newborn learns to communicate his need for food by crying. The baby learns to coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing. He can digest and absorb nutrients required for growth and development. Doctors nowadays advise exclusive mothers feeding for the infant minimum up to five months. Mother's milk is the natural healthy food for the infant's growth. It contains almost all the nutrients needed for the child in correct proportion.
Advantages of mother's milk for the mother Feeding mother's milk helps the mother's uterus contract and return to normal more quickly after childbirth. It also delays ovulation and suppresses menstruation. It has some contraceptive effects when women do it for extended periods. The chances of developing breast and ovarian cancer as well as osteoporosis are lesser in mothers who feed their babies.
Advantages of mother's milk for the baby Mother's milk reaches the baby at the right temperature and there is no problem regarding sanitation. It is germs free and no preparations are required. It is recognized that some flavours ingested by the nursing mother pass into mother's milk, thus the infants adjust easily to new foods while weaning. It also saves a great deal of money, time and bother involved in bottle feeding bottle-feeding a child.
Feeding mother's milk is simple, safe and clean. It helps promote loving attachment or bonding between the mother and child and can be enjoyable for both. The child feels safe and protected in the mother's arms. It has the right nutritional value and composition as required by the baby. The incident of illness is four times per year against 144 times per year in artificially fed babies. The infants get protection from rota-virus infection, a major cause of deadly diarrhoea. They have fewer chances of becoming overweight. Studies have shown that the babies are more intelligent, healthy, and smart. They grow up to be emotionally secure and stable adults.
Importance of feeding Colostrum For the first couple of days the baby gets only a few drops of colostrum. This is a clear, yellowish secretion rich in protein, vitamin A and antibodies. It is the perfect food designed by nature for the newborn. Colostrum also helps in developing the immune system for the fight against disease-causing germs and enzymes in the digestive system of the newborn. Lactoferrin and lysozyme present in mother's milk inhibit bacterial growth and help in the digestive system mature.
Techniques and duration of feed The baby is given the first feed about eight to twelve hours after birth. The infant is nursed at each side for about five minutes so that the milk production is stimulated. Later the feeding frequency is increased to feed the infant every three to four hours. During the first few weeks, these intervals may be irregular. Later a feeding rhythm is established. The duration of feed is a matter of individual performance. It is advisable to feed the baby minimum six months to 2 years. It is very important to feed the baby in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
