No.3139 – Private James Cowan – 48th Battalion AIF
James Cowan was born in Melbourne in 1887 and while still a child his family moved across to Fremantle where his father began a timber yard on the corner of Market Street & South Terrace.
James attended Fremantle Grammar School and was heavily involved in local sporting activities, later being a member of the successful Fremantle Caledonian Soccer Club.
James enlisted in early 1916 and was at Blackboy Hill Camp for 33 days but on account of his Father's death he was released from service to assist his family. However in November 1916 he again offered his services and was accepted into the AIF, whereupon he embarked on more training at Blackboy Hill camp.
He was firstly put into the 7th Reinforcements to the 44th Battalion, but instead on the 23rd of December 1916 he embarked from Fremantle on the H.M.A.T. Berrima with the 8th reinforcements to the 48th Battalion.After arrival in England he was sent to the 12th Training Battalion, the training unit of the 12th Brigade, for further infantry instruction. Apart from one bout of sickness for which he was sent to hospital for 5 days, and a period of leave in which he visited relatives in Northern Ireland, James stayed with the 12th Training Battalion until June 1917 when he was sent over to France to join the 48th Battalion in the field.
He joined the 48th Battalion which had just come from the front line after their work at Messines; and he stayed with them through their time at the front in August and September around the vicinity of Wytschaete.
It was during the Third Battle of Ypres on October 12th 1917 when the 48th Battalion was attacking along the Ypres railway line that James was wounded in the leg. Though the infantry of the 48th advanced on their section of the line and overcame opposition in front, their flanks were in the air due to the failure of adjoining units. Thus with only a thin outpost line of men in front it was going to be a difficult position to hold and even though the first German counter attack was held off, further stronger attacks pushed the soldiers of the 48th Battalion back, and while retiring many were cut down by fire from the front and flanks.
To exacerbate matters the headquarters of the 48th was largely wiped out by German shellfire and due to the German pressure, the men of the 48th finally retired to their original positions. According to the 48th Battalion history:
"the hardest feature about the whole attempt was the fact that so many of the wounded were necessarily lost. When the battalion retired, the enemy following up so closely gave no chance to any man who fell badly wounded…Leaving the wounded behind, however involuntary and inevitable, is a bitter experience, and it formed a fitting and gloomy climax to the ill fortunes of the day.'"
James Cowan, one of the fortunate wounded to be rescued, received gun shot wounds to the right knee and back and was taken to the 3rd Field Ambulance. He was then sent to No.24 General Hospital at Etaples, where he stayed for over a month. However, the doctors were unable to save his infected leg, and it required amputation above the knee as a consequence of gas gangrene setting in.
He was soon after deemed fit enough to be sent as a stretcher case to England, and after crossing the channel was sent to the Civil General Hospital in Birmingham where every care was given to him.
The following letter was penned by the matron of the hospital about Cowan's short stay.
The Uncle arranged for the funeral to take place in Belfast, where he had relations, otherwise he would have had a military funeral here…
I spoke to Pte. Cowan myself during the afternoon of Saturday and asked if there was not anything he would fancy, as he would take so very little, but he said that Nurse had just given him a drink of coffee and that all they had offered him was very nice, but that he had absolutely no appetite. He appeared to be very ill, and I sent my Assistant up to see him a little later on, to see if she could write a letter for him or do anything else. He thanked her, however, and said he had no letters he wished to write, that Nurse had already offered to do so. I think he was so thoroughly poisoned through, being in such a septic state, that his mind was a little dulled. He appeared to be apathetic.
At the end he sank so quickly and quietly, there was not time to write, even had he seemed to want to do so. He sent no sort of message to anyone – He was very patient and uncomplaining but evidently felt very ill."
James Cowan died of his wounds on the 24th of November 1917 and his body, accompanied by his Uncle was taken across to Belfast for burial in the family plot, and though his mother could not be there he was laid to rest among his relatives. (Also remembered on the family grave is an Irish Uncle of James Cowan, Captain William Craig who was killed when HMS Harbury was sunk in June 1917 and his body was not recovered).
The funeral was reported in the Belfast Newspaper The Northern Whig, 'Military Funeral in Belfast':
"The news of the death on Sunday of Private James Cowan, Australian Forces, in the General Hospital, Birmingham, was received in Belfast by those who knew him with sincere regret. Yesterday morning the remains arrived from England by the Fleetwood boat, and the funeral took place with full military honours, the interment being in Balmoral Cemetery. Deceased was the second son of the late Mr John Cowan, Fremantle, West Australia, and grandson of the late Mr Hugh Craig, Belfast. The chief mourners were Rev DH Craig, Mr James Craig, Mr JC Craig and Mr A Craig (uncles), Rev James Meek, Mr Alexander Moore, Mr James Tate and Mr J McDowell (uncles-in-law). A large number of friends also attended. The firing party and band were supplied by the Northumberland Fusiliers. At the graveside a brief service was conducted by the Rev Dr R Barron and the Rev WA Watson, MA, BD. The usual volleys were fired and the "Last Post" sounded on the bugle. Messrs Melville & Co Ltd has charge of the funeral arrangements, which were carried out satisfactorily."
Later, James's mother Sarah penned the following epitaph for his grave from her house in East St, East Fremantle: "Weighed in the balance and not found wanting."

Law enforcement officials still have not determined who was behind the explosion that injured 29 people in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood on Saturday night -- and as of Sunday afternoon, two of the state's top officials were offering different interpretations of the incident.
In separate press conferences on Sunday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio refused to label the attack as terrorism, while Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it "obviously terrorism."
It was a criminal act. It was a bombing. That's what we know.
De Blasio's stance
De Blasio stressed the need not to jump to conclusions in his update on the explosion.
"We have a lot more work to do to say what motivation was behind this,' he said.
He reiterated that the explosion was believed to be "intentional," but that nothing else had been determined.
Here's de Blasio urging caution and not jumping to conclusions.
NYPD commissioner Jim O'Neill, whose first full day on the job was Saturday, echoed de Blasio's stances, saying that further investigation was needed.
A bomb exploding in New York City is obviously terrorism, but it's not linked to international terrorism.
Cuomo's take
Cuomo said in a press conference on Sunday that the explosion, while not linked to international terrorism, was still terrorism.
In response, he deployed 1,000 National Guard troops and New York State Police to the city.
Here's Cuomo explaining the connection to terrorism in his own words.
Christie on separate bombing: "clearly" terrorism
And New Jersey governor Chris Christie called an explosion earlier Saturday before the start of a charity 5K race "clearly an act of terrorism."
De Blasio said there was not a clear connection between the New York and New Jersey incidents.
#NYPD : evidence being taken to #FBI lab in #Quantico #7News #ChelseaExplosion— Cheryl Fiandaca (@CherylFiandaca) September 18, 2016
Evidence from the New York City explosion is being processed at a FBI lab in Quantico.
Why the hesitation?
William Sweeney Jr., assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York division, urged that was "vitally important" not to reveal any information that could help the subjects of the investigation.
In the meantime, NYPD police chief Carlos Gomez said New Yorkers could expect more bag checks and canine investigations in subway stops. 23rd and 27th streets, the site of the explosion and an unexploded second device, remained closed.
Both Cuomo and de Blasio said the police presence in the city would increase dramatically. The city was already due for a heightened police presence with the United Nations General Assembly week set to start Monday.
De Blasio ystrday: "We dont c a link2 terrorism"https://t.co/BVsrYfEC6d Cuomo 2day: "obviously an act of terrorism" https://t.co/0B3X8tnjaD— Azi (@Azi) September 18, 2016
The difference between the two leaders' stances was not lost on Twitter.
So what is terrorism, anyway?
There are a lot of conflicting definitions, which may explain why Cuomo labeled the attack as terrorism and de Blasio did not.
The FBI defines terrorism as activities that "involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law" and "appear to be intended to (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping."
No all-embracing definition will ever be found, for the simple reason that there is not one terrorism, but there have been many terrorisms...
But the Department of Homeland Security's definition focuses on "mass destruction," and the Defense Department's definition includes religious motivations, according to Politifact.
So it's not clear if the New York incident qualifies as terrorism by the FBI's standard.
But some see refusal to label an act as "terrorist" as bowing to political correctness.
I don't understand. It's been called "intentional" but officials are declining to call the #ChelseaExplosion in #NYC "terrorism". Why?— Andrew Kozak (@AndrewKozakTV) September 18, 2016
Politicians deciding whether or not to call something terrorism are basically 17 year olds arguing over the definition of "punk."— Kibblesmith ⚔ (@kibblesmith) September 18, 2016
Others saw the whole debate as pointless.
"if it was an act of terrorism, we'll come out and say it"—@nypdoneill. #ChelseaExplosion pic.twitter.com/OAtjDodjId— Azi (@Azi) September 18, 2016
O'Neill promised clarity would come if officers nailed down a motive.

In this week's roundup of health news, we'll look at whether you need to do anything differently about your choice of bread, the place your baby sleeps, and your attitude toward mosquitoes on your holiday.
Tagged With zika
Nobody likes mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes sure do love us. Spraying your skin with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus keeps them at bay, but stores are full of wristbands, candles, clothing, and other products that claim to repel bugs without those nasty "chemicals." Some of them might help, but none are reliable.
It was inevitable that cybercriminals would capitalise on the global attention on the Zika virus outbreak. Security vendor Symantec has issued a warning on a malicious spam campaign that lures people into downloading a piece of malware called JS.Downloader by claiming to have additional information on the Zika virus. Here are the details.
Zika virus, a previously obscure disease that had only caused a handful of cases in Africa and some island nations, is now a major global health concern. It's been linked with brain damage in babies, and the World Health Organisation just declared South America's Zika epidemic a public health emergency. You may not live in South America, but in today's world of global travel and fast-moving infections, let's talk about whether you need to worry.

[*] Note.--The subjunctive in nē-clauses after a verb of fearing is optative in origin. To an independent nē-sentence, as nē accidat, may it not happen, a verb may be prefixed (cf. § 560), making a complex sentence. Thus, vidē nē accidat ; ōrō nē accidat ; cavet nē accidat ; when the prefixed verb is one of fearing, timeō nē accidat becomes let it not happen, but I fear that it may. The origin of the ut-clause is similar.

HS2: Getting the best out of Britain
High Speed Two (HS2) Limited has been tasked by the Department for Transport (DfT) with managing the delivery of a new national high speed rail network which will land in the Heart of Leeds City Centre. HS2 Ltd have released a report which sets out how HS2 can help Britain achieve a more balanced, more productive economy. You can view the document by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/...
"Leeds is positioned at the centre of one of the strongest and most resilient economies in Europe, with a young and enterprising population creating our future economies in advanced manufacturing, data analytics, fintech and many more areas. We are working with city region partners and businesses on the strategies to unlock our enormous potential, and HS2 is key to our approach.
We are already seeing the benefit of HS2 in Leeds, with firms choosing to locate and invest in the city now, and this will increase as we make sure our people and places are HS2 ready. In Leeds, we are utilising HS2 investment as a catalyst to double the size of the city centre, tackle inequality through job creation and create a world leading technology research partnership with the university.
By rebalancing the national economy, HS2 will transform our economy, boosting productivity, driving growth and creating opportunities for businesses and people across Leeds and the wider city region."

Trees have a way of growing into all sorts of odd shapes and contorted figures, including the odd ways in which they grow up and around power lines. This can be dangerous and deadly for the tree as well as anyone who attempts to prune the tree back. If your tree is also looking a little dead because of the surge in electrical power through its branches, you are going to need the professional help of an arborist. Here is what the arborist might do to help.
Cut off the Lower Limbs
All of the limbs that are currently growing directly below the power lines will need to be cut off. If the tree survives the constant surge of electrical power, these lower branches will undoubtedly begin to touch and interfere with the power lines too when the tree grows taller. The arborist can use special equipment and tools to prevent electrocution while performing this task.
Trim the Branches from around the Power Lines
Some trees somehow manage to fuse themselves completely around power lines. You can see this when a city crew cuts a tree down from the curb but leaves the fused branches dangling on the power lines like wooden clothespins. If your tree has managed to fuse some branches around the power lines, then these branches should definitely be trimmed back, maybe even cut down entirely. However, the arborist may leave this job to the power company and only act as a consultant to help keep the tree alive while the cuts are made.
Taking the Whole Tree Down When the Electricity is Killing It
In the most extreme cases, when the power lines are killing the tree and there is an increased risk of the dead tree bursting into flames, your only recourse might be to cut the tree down completely. An arborist could try to save the tree, but in all likelihood, the remaining life in the tree would be hampered because the arborist would have to make sure that no part of the tree ever comes into contact with the power lines again. In this extreme case, the best thing to do, and the one which might come highly recommended by the arborist, is to put the tree out of its misery and cut it down completely. The only exception to this rule is relocating a very young tree that does not yet have deep tap roots and may be saved by pulling it up and relocating it. Even then, the arborist would have to work with your power company to make sure that the tree removal does not damage the power lines in the midst of being pulled up and moved.

Always Be Closing
I'm riding a wave of pride right now. I'm about the most spineless person you know. Some might prefer to call me "accommodating," but they're just trying to butter me up to take advantage of me in the future. Am I paranoid or is Poker Nation seeping into my brain?
I'm brimming with pride because I negotiated a discount at the Jiffy Lube today. Already significantly overpriced for an oil change, they offered to replace my transmission fluid and clean my fuel injectors. What would be a $18 job at my usual place--which I'm not at because they pissed me off yesterday when they said the crew was about to take lunch for 30 minutes--that's right, the whole crew was taking a break simultaneously with 4 customers in the lobby and me about to be 5--has now become $130-ish visit.
Maybe it's the decongestants talking, but it came to me: why not ask for a discount. I even looked in the person's general direction for it instead of at the floor and speaking into my chest. Not only did I ask, he offered $10 without hesitation. So I said, "Well, is there any way you could go to $20 cause I just went from a $30 oil change to looking at about $120 in extra stuff." He didn't just buy it, he gave me the oil change free!
Holy crap! This is way better than the $50 I got out of Circuit City in exchange for the 3 hours I spent there on a computer exchange. They were nice, so I didn't push it. Anyhow, with that $80 plus my freelance dollars, I've just about covered the rest of my expenses for my trip to Austin. Some of you may be saying to yourself, "Yeah, but you just blew $100-something you didn't plan to. Who out negotiated whom?" To that I say, you enjoy undermining me, don't you mom? (Apparently the Al Franken book has taken hold as well.)

Beautiful weather in Chi-Town this past week. Upper 70's, mostly clear skies and dry.
This morning: 52 degrees and constant rain which, as it happens, was the day of our first 5k race of the season. It finally did stop raining…after we returned home. It's all in the timing.
Son #2 finished in first place. Pop was just glad to finish. Next up for SN2: The Illinois Marathon and a half triathlon before the tackling the actual Ironman this summer. That's a 2.4 mile swim, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles. I'm of the opinion I should be cheering rather than getting carried away in a stretcher. Besides, it would be dark and no one would be around by time I crossed the finish line.

What's Heaven Like?
What is it like to close your eyes in this life and open them in heaven? What's it like to know you have only minutes to live? What goes through your head when you realize all your dreams are not happening – but momentarily The Dream will come gloriously to life? What is that first moment in heaven like? What's it like to finally be home? There's no more wandering, no more wondering in heaven. There's no more not-belonging in heaven. There are no more questions in heaven…
Ah, but am I ready for heaven?
I've recently had some devastating news from my target country. As of this moment, my plans to go are not changed. But death – and the possibility of an early death for me – is suddenly front and center in my mind. Words from last November's conference are ringing in my ears… If I'm not willing to give up everything, how can I call myself a disciple of Jesus? But then, I don't live in a vacuum, and I'm beginning to think it will take far more courage for my parents, family, and friends to let me go than it will for me to actually go. Can I force courage on people I love? Is that right? Even if nothing "bad" happens to me, my physical absence from the states and "safety" will be a cause of concern for at least a few. In theory, I know God is way big enough to handle not only my fears but also the fears of those I love. But what does that look like in practice?
As with many Sunday mornings this year, I wept during worship. The music was all about heaven…
My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here,
Then why should I tremble when trials are near?
Be hushed my dark spirit, the worst that can come
But shortens thy journey, and hastens thee home.
Let trial and danger my progress oppose,
They'll only make heaven more sweet at the close;
Come joy or come sorrow, whate'er may befall,
A home with my God will make up for it all.
With a scrip for my back, and a staff in my hand,
I march on in haste through an enemy's land;
The road may be rough, but it cannot be long,
I'll smooth it with hope and cheer it with song.
My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here,
Then why should I tremble when trials are near?
Be hushed my dark spirit, the worst that can come
But shortens thy journey, and hastens thee home.
(My Rest is in Heaven, H. F. Lyte, 1833)This world is beautiful and bright, O scarce one cloud has dimmed my sky, And yet no gloomy shades of night Are gathering round me though I die; Yet there's a lovelier land of light, Illum'd by Bethlem's beaming Star; E'en now it bursts upon my sight, To be with Christ is better far.
True, life is sweet and friends are dear, And youth and health are pleasant things; Yet, leave I all, without a tear, No sad regret my bosom wrings. The ties of earth are broken all, My chainless soul, above yon star, Shall wing its way beyond recall, To be with Christ is better far.
And is this death? My soul is calm, No sting is here, the strife is done; Glory to God and to the Lamb! Sweet triumph! I have won, I've won! A crown immortal, robes of white, For me, for me in waiting are; Arrayed in glory, clothed in light, To be with Christ is better far.
(To Be With Christ, 19th-Century Anonymous)
Please be praying for me as I wrestle with new, deep, difficult questions. Please also be praying for those who are more closely affected than I by recent events.
In the end, this is what really matters: Jesus has won. Jesus has already won! Hallelujah.

"Children Act Fast, So Do Poisons" is the theme for National Poison Prevention Week March 16-22. It's a familiar refrain to staff at the Utah Poison Control Center (UPCC), who last year handled nearly 37,000 reports of poison exposures. More than 60 percent of those incidents involved children under age six.
"Of all the injuries that occur in the home, poisonings are among the most preventable," said Poison Control Center Director Barbara Insley Crouch, Pharm.D., M.S.P.H. "Last year our center safely and effectively managed 90 percent of the emergency calls for children at their homes - without having to refer them to a doctor or emergency room."
Parents are reminded during National Poison Prevention Week to keep household chemicals and medicines stored away from children at all times. "Many parents don't realize how many things in the home are potentially deadly," said Utah SAFE KIDS Coalition chair Janet Brooks. "Things like vitamins, toothpaste and even mouthwash are very tempting to young children" said Brooks, "but they're poison."
If you suspect your child has swallowed a potential poison, call the Utah Poison Control Center at its new national toll-free number-1-800-222-1222. The number works anywhere in the country and connects the caller to the nearest local poison control center.
The UPCC is a 24-hour resource for poison information, clinical toxicology consultation and poison prevention. The UPCC was established in 1971 as a program of the University of Utah College of Pharmacy and a cooperative public service of the Utah Department of Health and the University of Utah Health Sciences Center.
The Utah SAFE KIDS Coalition and the Utah Poison Control Center work together to educate parents and children about the potential dangers of poison, reminding parents that poison injuries and deaths are preventable.
For more information, call The Utah Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Eva Marcille Pigford-Cycle 3(winner)
Eva was the first African American winner of the modeling show and certainly was a very entertaining and memorable contestant throughout. Right from the start Eva confirmed her status as the "Superbitch" of the group, but when she was confronted by Tyra about this she broke down and decided to change her ways. During the cycle she her modeling credentials were doubted due to her lack of height (5 ft 6) but her confident personality and stunning features ultimitely shone through for her to win! In one testing photoshoot she had to overcome her fear of spiders and pose with a Teranchula on her neck.
"This little tomboy from L.A. that has never been beautiful. I was not the cute girl in school. I came here the shortest and the one that had the most insecurities inside of them, and now I'm America's Next Top Model. And I get to represent all the little girls who feel the way I feel… Watch out world here comes Eva! Ahh!"
After the show she decided to go by the name "Marcille" as opposed to "Pigford". After showing much acting potential in the course of the show, Eva has gone on to claim many television roles aswell as modelling jobs. She currently plays the role of Tyra Hamilton in the Emmy-winning American soap opera 'The Young And The Restless"

If you want a map from Google Maps, first you'll have to tell Google Map Saver the area on which the map has to be centered. After that, you have to indicate the kind of map that you want: maps, satellite, hybrid or terrain. After you click on the GO! button, the map that we're looking for will appear. To save it, we'll have to select the format and the place where it's saved. The formats in which we can save the image are: JPEG, PNG, BMP and TGA.
GMS also allows us to select the resolution of the map among a wide range of options or the zoom level that we want to apply. Furthermore, it shows us the exact coordinates of the locations that we have indicated.
This tool will make things much easier, and we can save maps adjusting their features to our needs.

However, I've heard full spectrum is the best - just what I've heard.
Boy, my light box must be a very strong one...I've had to restart it with 5 min. increments due to the nausea and I'm up to a measly 10 min. and the nausea has come back some what!
Maybe 8 min for me a day! But at least I'm not that depressed. It did pull me up some.

This project has won the following awards:
Project Summary
This bathroom in a 100-year old Spanish Revival style home now beautifully serves dual purposes as a bathroom for both pool access and a guest room. The owners needed a room that was practical and easy to maintain for "after the pool" use, while also respecting the carefully planned design aesthetic of their historical home. The first challenge for this remodel was the original design of the home, built in 1926. Two bathrooms were connected in an unusual layout that required substantial restructuring of the space. The bathroom shown here was moved to an exterior wall to allow for easier access to the pool and the addition of a window, providing better ventilation and lighting. Two doors, one leading to the pool and one leading to a guest bedroom, were designed as pocket doors with milky glass to add space and light. The overall aesthetic of the room expresses the home's Spanish Revival style with vibrant hand-painted mosaic tiles, a recurring arch theme built into the detailing inside and outside the shower, and an intricate flooring pattern composed of terra cotta and porcelain. Modern luxury is reflected in the oversize shower with its handheld showerhead. The shower's bench offers a comfortable place from which to appreciate the intricate detailing in the tiled niche and onyx mosaic arch inside the shower or enjoy the surrounding view from the room's window. The bathroom achieves a harmonious and intriguing balance between modern functionality and respect for the home's historical nature.
We invite you to see the Showroom and Selection Center on our Design Campus! Visit us for a behind-the-scenes look at what makes our projects truly spectacular.
Our beautiful and functional vignettes of kitchens and bathrooms, plus a working design studio, offer inspiration, education and personal insight into our people and process.

LONDON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The cost of insuring exposure to Argentina's debt jumped on Thursday after the Argentine peso slumped 7 percent overnight in its worst one-day fall since 2015.
Five-year credit default swaps leapt 43 basis points (bps) from Wednesday's close to 696 bps, according to IHS Markit data.
In an attempt to calm turbulent markets, Argentina has asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to release some funds from its $50 billion financing facility.
Argentina is also looking for ways to speed up its fiscal tightening efforts.

Ishq Subhan Allah 5th September 2018 Written Episode Update: Kabir knows Zara is alive
Ishq Subhan Allah 5th September 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Scene 1
Salma hears the news and screams Zara! She breakdowns and cries, Irfan is in shock.
Kabir sits in his room and recalls his moments wit Zara, he recalls how he promised Zara to bring her back and make a future with her, how she requested him to hug her one last time and he couldnt, he hugs her clothes and cries. Humari adhuri kahani plays as he remembers all their moments, their honeymoon, their reunion, their late night talks, hugs, smiles.. He lies on bed and clutches her dupatta.. humari adhuri kahani.. He recalls her last words that she will keep loving him.
In morning, Kabir is still sitting on floor. Ayesha is sitting outside and asks him to open the door and say something. All family members are broken, even Shahbaz is in shock. Shahbaz makes Ayesha sit in lounge,
Shahbaz comes to Kabir's room and says you cant be weak, you are my son, you have dreams to fulfill. Kabir opens door and is dressed. Shahbaz hugs him and says my lion is ready to face the world again. Kabir says yes I am ready to find Zara's killers and punish them, I was praying to God.
Inspector comes to house. Shahbaz asks if he knows anything about Zara's accident? Kabir says it was not an accident, she was killed by Miraj. Inspector says but you took Ali's name first. Kabir says I dont have any proof against Miraj but if you could catch Ali then we will have witness, inspector says we are searching Ali. Kabir says its been 24 hours and you couldnt find a common guy? Kabir says I want to do last rituals of Zara. Inspector says Zara's parents have claimed for her body, Kabir says no you will handover her body to me. Shahbaz asks inspector to leave, he leaves. Shahbaz says its better that her parents take her body. Kabir says no. Shahbaz asks Ayesha to make him understand. Ayesha says he is right, her parents have right first, I understand your pain but your mother's peace is with you. Kabir says if I dont reach Zara's killer then I wont be in peace. Shahbaz says stop with all this. Kabir says dont stop me, I promised my Zara that I will prove her innocent in 7 days, 2 days are still remaining, he leaves from there. Shahbaz is tensed.
Kabir comes to morgue and sees a deadbody there. He takes off sheet and sees Zara's face, she is lying there lifeless. He silently weeps.. humari adhuri kahani.. he kisses her forehead and looks at her one last time.
Zara's peace prayers are going on, Kabir comes there. Irfan sadly looks at him. Salma is in tears.
Irfan talks to Kabir. Kabir says I am sorry, Zara was a unique gift for all of us, you gave me your most precious thing and I lost it, I promise you that I wont sit quite till I find her killers. Irfan says father's biggest burden is seeing death of his child, this burden will be with me for life but God forbid, I dont want to see this burden on Shahbaz so dont put your life in danger. Kabir says without Zara, my life is nothing, when I die and meet Zara, I want to proudly tell her that I caught her killer and brought justice to her, I removed all fake stains from her name. Irfan cries and hugs him. Salma hears it all. Kabir leaves. Irfan prays for God to protect Kabir.
Scene 2
Zara is buried in grave. Kabir sees everything in daze. Irfan buries her with Kabir. Kabir feels Zara calling out to him. He looks around but doesnt find her. He then imagines her again. He goes to her in shock and touches her face. He says you are alive? Zara says yes, I told you that till you are feeling your heartbeats, till then I am alive and living there. Kabir says promise me you wont go? she promises and smiles.. it all turns out to be his dream. Kabir says Irfan she is alive, trust me, this is not Zara, real Zara is alive. Shahbaz asks him to control himself.
Kabir says to his team that we have 36 hours to find Zara, we have to find her. Imran says why dont you accept it that she is not in this world and we cant find her. Kabir says stop rubbish, she is alive, Zara is in in my heartbeats and its still beating. Reema says we know and not denying your love, I also feel Zara is with me but she is no more. Kabir says enough, tell me who will help me to find Zara? all remain silent. Kabir says okay, you all can go, I can do it alone. Imran says we are all with you, tell us what to do? Kabir says I have to stop divorce with her but first we have to find her, we have to find Ali then Miraj. Reema says how? Kabir says Ali was good friends with some team members, once we find Ali then we will find Miraj and then Zara.
In some very rustic godown, Zara is tied and hidden. Zara wakes up. Miraj says no, you cant be safe from me, nobody can save you because people must have buried you till now. She says what? Miraj says they found a body in car explode, I changed your body with someone else's and when Kabir reached there, he believed that deadbody was of his wife and his dear wife died, let me show you a video of your death and see how low I can stoop. He shows her video Kabir and Irfan burying a body. Zara says you showed your cheapness but Kabir's love will never believe it, he will know that I am alive, he will come and find me, God will help me. Miraj says even if he finds you, he would need atleast 36 hours to find you and your divorce will be done till then as deadline will pass. He laughs and leaves.
Zara is looking around godown and hears Kabir telepathically that she has to come out of godown. Zara breaks things away but cant see an leaving path. She gets an iron rod and use it to break walls, she comes out of one room but sees another bigger room. She hears some noise. Wasim comes there and stops her, she asks him to leave it. Wasim says what did I do to you? I was ready to take my wife back but you want justice for all and where are you now? see where you are, he laughs and says you are scared. Zara takes rod and beats him, she says I am not scared or coward, I raise my hands to teach lesson to people who do injustice. Wasim gets a call, Zara says leave me. Zara beats Wasim and says I will not spare you, Wasim says your game is finished, you like to pray for others and now its time to pray for yourself, we have matter to solve, remain locked here, he locks her and leaves. Zara says Kabir.. she hears Kabir that dont be broken, you cant lose hope, God is with you.
PRECAP- Miraj says to Zara that I have planned such a trick for Kabir that he wont be able to save himself, he will come in trap himself and you will see Kabir's death with your eyes. Zara is stunned.
Kabir comes to Ali in hospital and asks where is Zara? Miraj's man shoots Ali and makes Kabir unconscious, he takes Kabir from there.

|Well, it couldn't have been long after Windows 7 was released before mobile versions started coming off the assembly lines. And Microsoft employee, Aaron Woodman did just that.
|Microsoft's Aaron Woodman just pulled off a little surprise here at The Engadget Show: he brought out LG's Windows Phone 7 Series pre-production prototype! The QWERTY slider is the first branded Windows Phone 7 Series device the world's ever seen, and while the hardware and software are both obviously early, we can tell you a few things about it: it's just a hair thicker than an iPhone or Nexus One, there are dedicated hardware camera, volume, and power buttons in addition to the back, home, and search buttons dictated by Windows Phone 7 Series, and we noticed a five megapixel camera with a flash on the back, along with a headphone jack. Can't say much apart from that right now, since things are so early and everything is subject to change, but things are certainly moving along.
Now the true question is, how will it work in the hands of the consumer?

Last month, the Honourable Supreme Court passed a judgement which made multi-year, third party motor insurance for cars and bikes mandatory. The decision mandated two years for cars and five years for bikes. Following this, senior officials from the insurance industry have said that consumers may be required to pay 10-12% more in premium amount as the tenure will lead to inflation-adjusted pricing for the products.
Currently, there are insurance policies for bikes that go up to three years, these were introduced with a view to increase the percentage of insured two wheelers, and have a fixed premium for the entire duration of the policy.
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), the insurance regulatory body, revised premium rates on an annual basis, and while doing so, takes into account the number of claims filed in that category, among other factors. With longer policy tenures, factors and wages will also need to be considered.
Despite third party insurance being mandatory, two-thirds of vehicles plying on Indian roads do not have third party coverage against liabilities that can arise during accidents. Offering long-term insurance will remove the annual hassle of renewing the policy, but a higher sum will need to be paid. Passenger vehicles have very low rate of insurance coverage and the SC verdict is given with a view to increase penetration to acceptable levels.

text: When Allied troops stormed ashore in Brittany and Normandy in 1944, they encountered the irregularly shaped agricultural fields and many hedges that characterize that part of the French countryside. This bocage country challenged the movement of vehicles and equipment, which had to be brought through or around long walls of hedges growing atop steep roadside banks. The French term applies both to the hedge itself and to a landscape made up of such hedges. In North America the term refers generally to a landscape of small fields surrounded by low hedges. In parts of Louisiana, bocage is used to designate a peaceful, shade-giving place. There is a Bocage subdivision in Baton Rouge and, near New Orleans, the storied Bocage Plantation, carved from the once wild banks of the Mississippi River in order to plant fields of indigo, cotton, and sugarcane, separated by long borders of towering live oaks. The bocage country of Louisiana compares with French long lots of the same region. These irregularly shaped parcels have a narrow end fronting on a river, with the long axis of the property perpendicular to the waterway. The advantage to the French long-lot system is that many more property owners have river access.

Multistrada 1200 / MTS1200 tyre recommendation - Michelin Pilot Road 3 (Michelin PR3)
Wherever you look the PR3's (Michelin Pilot Road 3) are favourite choice and I've not read a bad word about them from anyone that's tried them on the MTS1200. Superb tyre, my own experience confirms all the great feedback/reviews on the forums and elsewhere.......my second set were fitted recently! :D AndyW ....update Pilot Road 4's now available - my next choice without hesitation!
I have ridden on all makes of tyre and I find these (PR3) the best for our UK weather. I put on PR3s just before a long tour round Scotland. The PR3s were absolutely fantastic, from dry roads through to torrents running across the road they worked well, warm up quickly and wear very well. My mate who was behind me in the rain said he was amazed at the clear line I was leaving on the wet road because of the way the tyre dispels the water.

Visiting a dentist every six months should be everyone's routine because it helps in keeping your teeth in the right shape. These are not appointments that almost everyone dreads but, it is the only way to make sure one does not suffer from tooth cavities or any other oral diseases unknowingly.

Dr. Hadley

These dentists also know the right treatments for each problem an individual could be facing; therefore, there is nothing to worry about always.
Dental problems that could occur in the future are detected and prevented on time. Oral checkup at
Smiles by Dr. Jeff Hadley
should be a long-term treatment that begins from when one is young so that your teeth can be monitored through every step. When one gets used to a dentist, they can fight their fears which makes the appointments more interesting. They make the information available to people thus preventing cavities and other gum diseases.
It is a way to prevent one from getting cancer of the mouth. If one does not know the signs, it will be easy for this killer disease to eat your gum slowly and it would be too late when being detected. Cancer if the mouth is treatable if identified early but if not, it could threaten your life. If your specialist is highly trained, they should know how to recognize these signs and start the treatment on time. When one sees ominous symptoms, seek help immediately.
People get to know some of the bad habits that they need to keep off like biting the nails, smoking and any other practices that could be causing damage to your teeth. These are habits one may have never realized if the dentist didn't tell you. A dentist equipped with all the latest technology and can check any underlying issue through x-rays. Dental checkups are worth your time' therefore, one should not compromise their appointments for anything. Keep in touch with your dentist and tell them if you have funny signs.

We had a rather exciting Saturday. First off, we went to Big Brook Preserve in Monmouth County. We spent the morning wading through the muddy brook, sifting for fossils. We did manage to find a bout a zillion belemnite fossils AKA ancient squids. These came to be called "squid bits," as in, "Hey! I found some more squid bits!" G did manage to find the prize winning Goblin Shark tooth-the curator of the geology museum said it's the best example she's ever seen:
We then went to G's Alma Mater, Monmouth U. The college is situated on the former site of the Shadow Lawn Mansion, now known as Wilson Hall (Woodrow once had the "Summer White House"close by). It is also where "Annie" was filmed. We, erm, managed to get in and have a look 'round.
|The entire ceiling over the main hall is beautiful stained glass
|The sitting room to the lady of the house's private Loo
|Mirror and marble over M'lady's bath
|Let's go check out the basement, Daddy!
|Public ladies room near the basement theatre (Seriously, I don't have a bathroom fetish. They just had some of the most beautiful tile work)
|Bathroom stall door. Seriously.
They still use the bedrooms as classrooms, complete with chandeliers and huge fireplaces. It was amazing to walk through. G had taken me here when we were dating....at that time, we had gone on one of the original elevators, but seeing as we were in the house by ourselves, and the elevators are ancient, we thought it prudent to stay out of them.
S and I pretended to be ladies from the Gilded Age and talked about how we would spend our days, having tea parties and riding our ponies about the grounds. It was fun. We got home very exhausted.

Murderers. Suiciders. Hopelessness. Brokenness. All pages written out of the enemies playbook. When God isn't present. When Jesus Christ isn't excepted. When there is no faith. Each and everyone of these things are possible being of this world makes one extremely vulnerable. We all have choices. Make God yours.

Blankets For Soldiers/
Folks making Blankets For Soldiers at the meeting room at the Schroon Lake Town Hall. Photo courtesy Michele Avignone
Michele Avignone knows first-hand what a difference a warm, home-made blanket, can mean to a US serviceman or woman stationed overseas.
"When you get an email or a card or note from a member of the military who has received one, it brings tears to your eyes," Michele told SchroonLaker.
For more than six years now Michele has been involved with making dozens of blankets which are sent to our troops in war zones around the world, which provide warmth and comfort during the cold winter months.
"These troops are freezing at night – even in summer months at bases in the desert, the nights can get very cold," Michele said.
And she recently introduced a group of folks from Schroon and surrounding towns to "Blankets For Soldiers" a grass roots group who are making sure our troops stay warm.
In early November a group of 15 people turned out ten blankets and last week 8 volunteers made 17. And more than $100 was raised to help pay for postage to get the blankets to Afghanistan.
Volunteers cut the fleece, before fringing
The blankets are made from two pieces of blizzard fleece, measuring 2 ½ yards by 2 ½ yards. The material is then cut and the two layers fringed together.
"The two groups we had in Schroon had a lot of fun doing this. This is a grass roots effort and everyone involved gets something out of the experience helping others," Michele said.
Michele, who has been coming to Schroon Lake for more than 30 years, first got involved in volunteering for our troops when she was in Valencia, California – where she also has a home -- about 6 years ago.
"We got involved in putting together seasonal packages of groceries with a group out there to send to the troops at Christmas. We then started making scarfs. From there we started to send blankets which we purchased at Sam's Club. That became expensive. We then realized we could make them for a fraction of the cost".
From there Michele has helped spread the blanket making good will to Florida, where she has hosted several blanket making events and where she is headed in early January.
But before she leaves she is helping to organize another blanket making event, potentially around Valentine's Day. If you'd like to help out making blankets or make a donation to help with postage, email Michele at email@example.com or call her at 661-755-2019.

We all know that feeling of….
'Melancholy'. It is separate from 'sadness'. The concept of 'sadness' implies grief and a certain hopelessness, while 'melancholy' implies a sorrow with purpose. A sadness that has hopefulness melted into it."
Last night, friends celebrated with me, my upcoming wedding. Most of those friends there were attendants or attended my first wedding. Just simply amazed at these wonderful women in my life. Who knew, 23 years ago, that they would walk through grief with me and then celebrate another wedding with me? "My ways are not your ways…." As we laughed and caught up with each others lives I was struck again at how blessed I really am. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.
So today I have this melancholy feeling. A feeling that is laced with sadness but full of hope. This coming Sunday, May 3, would have celebrated 23 years of marriage to Chris. The past is honored, treasured, and not forgotten. Despite what some may think, remarriage does not equal forgetting. I'm so thankful to be marrying someone who understands this. A man who understands the sometimes painful journey of what we call life, and just lets it be what it is. A man who is willing to step into my, often, chaotic life (who actually already has), and give his whole heart to me and my children. Fully aware of the potential land mines along the way (I keep warning him!:-)). We are excited about the future. We are wary about the future. We are anticipating what God has in store for us. We are amazed at the love and support from friends and family. We are awestruck at the hand of God in every step of this relationship. We feel undeserving, but so thankful.
It's weird sometimes to look back at the tapestry of life and try to understand God's purpose, to try and answer the question "why?". I can't, not fully anyway. But I trust the One who does know and who is still weaving that tapestry.
Romans 5:2-5
"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

Other opportunities outside of the companies in which PIC enjoys direct majority ownership include investments as a minority shareholder and the participation in other financing options such as syndicated loans bridge financing capital asset lending and inventory financing. Investments of this type can take place at any time throughout the year and although small and risky they can be rewarding. A wide variety of terms are possible depending on the needs of the recipient party and the level of risk and resources PIC must commit. Participation in this manner serves to keep PIC Investment Group connected to the markets in which these opportunities are revealed and allows PIC Investment Group to function as an operating company. It is interesting to report on the 2013 financial results. 2013 represents the largest decrease in reported net income in the history of PIC yet it felt like a very successful year. 2013 was extremely busy. As I go down the list of our operating companies they were all involved in significant events outside of normal operations. Whether it be the purchase of a company the largest reinvestment in their history the largest financing transaction in their history changes in key personal negotiating transactions that may or may not have been completed it was busy. There is no doubt that it is our people that drive the success of PIC. In the past several years we have really added to our bench strength and it is our people that enabled such a busy and stressful year to be as successful as it was. PIC has many great attributes and one I am proudest of is our long-term focus. We are committed to our companies to our leaders our employees and our business partners. We demonstrated this in 2013. Our consolidated assets grew by over forty-seven million dollars this is almost double what was our previous record year over year asset growth. The year started off slowly and at various periods our operating results were down by over 40 compared to 2012. I admire this level of investment and commitment when we were staring at some tough operating results. I am confident that these investments will prove to be sound. I would like to congratulate Randy Bracewell and his team at ClearTech for reaching one-hundred million in annual revenues and for the successful acquisition and integration of Advance Chemicals Ltd. PIC has been on a tremendous run for the past several years. 2008 was a break out year and then we just kept setting higher levels for financial success. For most of those years we were truly firing on all cylinders. The results for 2013 are more varied two of our largest companies had their best financial years and others had tough years. 2013 establishes a new plateau for our minority investments being accretive to income. It is a real tribute to the strength of our operating companies that PIC was able to complete 2013 without any outside equity coming into the company. Although our consolidated debt to equity ratio has increased we still have a balance sheet to be envied and we have maintained our conservative financing and accounting practices. The performance of all involved with PIC just continues to reinforce my optimistic vision for our future. Hugh MacGowan 18

Margo, if you have dumplings already made it wouldn't be so bad. If not, well, you have to make dumplings.
I've eyed bagel recipes before, but haven't actually made them. So, I third the motion, please share your experience/recipe!
Also, Rachel, I checked out the Korean dumpling soup – it sounds delicious, but looks like a lot of work. In your experience, is it?
The jap chae and the chicken pilau…yum! Haven't had either of those in a long time. Have a delicious week!
PS – My parentheses ended up in the wrong place. Mandu is dumpling, not specifically dumpling soup.
If you want to stick with Korean, you could substitute a mandu (dumpling soup) – here's one recipe – http://www.cookbookwiki.com/Mandoo_guk_(Korean_dumpling_soup). If you look for more recipes, some sites will spell it mandu, mandoo, etc.
Great looking menu, everything looks yummy!!!
Happy MPM!
You're *making* bagels? Please, when you do, post the recipe. We eat them like crazy in my house and I'd love to make some one cool weekend morning.
Ditto to the comment above. Your menu looks yummy!
pork chops with raspberry sound delicious. Great meal plan.
