In the manner of the legendary court-composers of the Hindustani tradition, Pandit Amarnathji has contributed over 200 original khayaal compositions and several ragas to the nation's classical repertoire. Among the ragas are Amarkali, Gunranjani, Audav Asavari, Maru Basant, Kafi Malhar and Shyam Bhoop. This achievement places him in a most distinguished and rare category of master-musicians of the nineteenth century — the vaagayekaars.
Panditji has thought out many original ragas and raga compounds, as well as adapted several Karnatic ragas into the Hindustani style, which now form an integral part of the repertoire of Hindustani music, and of his gharaana. Some of this creative output, both literary and musical, has been archived at the Indira Gandhi National Centre For The Arts, Delhi, and the Samvad Foundation, Mumbai.
In the language of yoga, the effect of continuous naada, saadhanaa is aananda, or the search for extreme aananda.

In today's down economic times many people are turning to home businesses as a way to make money. In order to succeed and make solid profits from your home business it is crucial to educate yourself on the subject and learn what it takes to succeed. This article contains a number of home business tips.
If you run a business out of your home, consider employing members of your family. Having more employees on the books allows you to deduct the cost of their insurance premiums from your taxes. You must be able to account for the actual work they do, and provide a reasonable wage in order to avoid scrutiny from the IRS, however.
A major difference between running your own home business and being employed by someone else, is that you will have to learn to manage your own time. Organization and setting goals is very important. If you are not goal oriented, you can easily find yourself spending a lot of time doing a lot of nothing. Remember to create and set weekly and daily goals for yourself. You can then organize around these goals just like you would at any other job.
Make sure you have a separate business account so there are records of business transactions. All your business transactions and expenses should be made through your business account. You will get a better idea of your progress. If you need to place credit card orders for supplies, you should have a separate business account for that as well.
Use a name for your business that is meaningful. This can be the actual name of your business or domain name. Many times you can get a domain for under $10 per year, but it is important to reserve your domain before another person takes it. You may want to post a site with only one page until you decide if you want a complete website.
If you do participate in a trade show, think of a way to make your booth stand out from the rest of the crowd, like running a raffle for a free product, or offering a big discount if someone makes a purchase on the spot. You want a way to entice people to stop at your booth so that you can tell them all about your product or service and make a sale.
When starting out in a home business, you need a website to start selling your services or products. It'll help you to attract more customers and will significantly increase your profits from sales. You can hire a professional web designer to get your website up and running quickly.
To be able to start and maintain a successful home business, you must be completely honest with yourself. Each of us has areas of strengths and weaknesses. To be a success, you must be honest with yourself when it comes to your own strong points and weak points. Find help for your weaknesses. By doing this, you will be able to focus more energy on your strengths. A recent study suggests that building strengths rather than fixing weaknesses is the road to success.
Keep a positive attitude. Having a home business can generate a lot of stress but it's important to always maintain a positive outlook. If you don't believe you can make it, who will? Always remind yourself what you like about your business and your product or service and tell others!
As you can see, anyone can start a home business if they're prepared for the challenges and risks associated. While it is a challenging venture to start your own business, it can also be very rewarding finding yourself at the top of your own business. Try what you've read in this article and see what you can do!

I had a number of great finds on my opening night at the 2012 local county fair but this duo won the night based on their persistent tobacco consumption. I was on the midway watching in awe at a smoldering early 20s blond smoking a cigarette with amazing skill and thinking nothing could take me away from that spot for as long as she was smoking…but that was when THEY entered the scene…
I spotted two adorable underage girls, both probably 17, strutting down the midway. One was smoking and the other wasn't. First the smoker….she had long light brunette hair going down her back, wearing a black top and short white shorts. She had a very pretty and wholesome face but was wearing some woolly beret that gave her a bit of an artsy air. The artsy look usually annoys me and was a bit of a distraction for this girl as well, but that face was just so cute. And her smoking looked like that of a beginner as she took shallow puffs and produced shallow exhales on her all-white. I was wondering if I made the right decision in following her instead of watching the end of blondie at the carnival stand, but part of what made me decide to follow this duo was the other girl. For as cute as the long-haired smoker was, I was even hotter for the other girl, a light brunette with her hair up in a fairly tight ponytail. She was wearing a blue top and a pair of adorably tight jean shorts that perfectly framed an ass that I wanted to smack until my hand stung. The nonsmoker looked even more wholesome than the smoker and just had an IT factor air about her that was irresistible.
But anyway, she wasn't smoking and the woolly beret girl was, so I focused my attention on the latter as I followed them fairly closely through the midway. Her shallow puffs and exhales were pretty cute and I was close enough to walk through them, shallow as they were. As the girls looped to the end of the midway, the smoker was still smoking since her drags were so shallow. They sat down on a bench which was killing me because I wanted to identify that butt when she finished it and there was absolutely nowhere to observe. I drug my feet and pretended to text as I looped around, watching her drop the cigarette to the ground and then both girls texting away, wondering if I'd ever get my chance. I walked for a brief distance and then doubled back…and they had just left. Perfect! I swooped in and spotted her cigarette butt, which was still smoldering. It was a Camel Light. Had hoped for a little more from this sighting but came through pretty well anyway.
About 10 minutes later, I was looping around the sparse north side of the grounds, which empties out almost entirely after the livestock buildings close at 10. It was now almost 11. And while I was on the sparse north side, I was gonna sit down on an open bench and fire off a quick text, but that plan was derailed when I looked up and saw two familiar faces….teenage girls who were respectively decked out in a black top and white shorts with a woolly beret and a blue tanktop, super-tight jean shorts and cute ponytail. Only this time the other girl who I had hoped would smoke on the first sighting had a cigarette of her own going. Score, baby! I just sat there and watched as they approached, talking amongst each other. My favorite girl took a fairly shallow drag, suggesting she was just a beginner as well, but released a much more impressive cloud of smoke than anything I saw from woolly beret girl. For a moment I was so struck by the image of this teen cutie smoking that I didn't realize woolly beret girl was smoking another cigarette herself! Her second in only the last 15 minutes! Her drags and exhales continued to be shallow and infrequent, making it all the more mind-blowing that she was smoking so soon after her last cigarette. The girls were right in front of me when my favorite of the two took a much deeper drag than the last one I saw, and the cherry on her cigarette was glowing bright red as she pulled the smoke inside of her adorable little teenage body.
They had made me obviously after following them through the midway, but I couldn't let this one go. I held back more than I'd have preferred, but I followed from a distance and just adored their beautifully shaped female bodies and the clouds of smoke released by their blackened young respiratory systems. As they turned towards the main part of the fairgrounds again, they passed an older couple. Both the older guy and his wife looked straight at the girls as they passed, noticing they were both smoking cigarettes. They didn't give exaggerated signs of disapproval, but unless they were fetishers I don't think this was the look of approval. My favorite girl took far more frequent drags and seemed to drag more deeply, but her hold times were not impressive and I still don't think she's been smoking for too long. Woolly beret girl didn't impress by comparison as her drags were infrequent and sparse, and her exhales slim. But the contrast was not only adorable but helpful as my favorite girl tossed her smoldering all-white butt to the ground in a perfect wide-open spot, finishing her cigarette well before the friend. I had no problem at all identifying the smoldering butt. It was a Camel Crush. Now these girls weren't carrying purses and I didn't see packs of cigarettes in their shorts, so I'm assuming they were tucked into their bras. I continued to follow as they stumbled upon two other nonsmoking female friends. The woolly beret girl was still smoking…slowly…while talking in the group. I was not in a position to stick around so I pressed forward, sure that I had seen my best sighting of the night.
I was really on a roll that night and before long made another journey down the midway. At the back of the midway, where the "big kid" rides are and where the most lawless teenage culture plays out, there stood two familiar female faces yet again. It was the ponytailed light brunette in the tight jean shorts and the white-shorted long-haired light brunette with the woolly beret. The girls were talking to two nonsmoking guys they seemed to know…and they were both smoking AGAIN! For my favorite girl, this was her second Camel Crush in the last 15 minutes. For the woolly beret girl who seemed like such a novice, this was her third Camel Light in the past half hour. The contrasts here were mind-blowing. Neither of these girls seemed like heavy smokers based on their style, but neither one could go 10 minutes without a cigarette! I again had to do some fancy footwork to observe this even from a distance without standing out like a sore thumb, but once again, my favorite girl of the two was belching out nice thick clouds of smoke and taking very frequent drags while her friend was taking slower, shallower drags. I waited until my favorite girl flung her smoldering cigarette to the grass before pressing on, recognizing I couldn't linger any longer there. It's a rare victory when I get to see hot girls smoking twice in one night, but it's truly exceptional when I see them smoking three times in one night, especially when the three sightings transpire over the duration of no more than a half hour!
And Tuesday would not be the only night of the 2012 local county fair that this duo would deliver. Two nights later, when I was trying to evade familiar faces and avoid an encounter that would take away my fetish time, I figured the safest place for me to go would be the midway, and what a fine call that was. On the edge of the midway at a cluster of benches I spotted from a distance two very hot 17-18ish babes, one of whom was wielding a cigarette. I approached and could tell even from several yards away I was looking at top-tier babes. And then it hit me when I saw her face and realized I had already seen this girl smoking before on Tuesday night. It was the woolly beret girl, tonight sans the woolly beret, and her brunette friend seated next to her. Unfortunately, the sighting lasted all of 10 seconds as the woolly beret light brunette took a final drag of the cigarette and the two girls got up. She handed the cigarette to the friend who took a final drag of her own while walking away before dropping the cigarette to the ground. I had no problem at all identifying the still-smoldering Camel Crush butt and following the girls.
And even with the smoking part of the sighting finished, following them was a dream in and of itself. The woolly beret girl was wearing a tanktop and white shorts that were on the surface similar to what she wore Tuesday night, but this outfit had a much more summery look and feel to it. But the brunette was the one who really sparkled. She had her hair in a ponytail on Tuesday but had it loose Thursday. It seemed much darker brunette and it looked hotter hanging down past her shoulders. As for her outfit, what a sexpot. It's hard to stand out amongst a crowd of teenage girls dressed like $10 whores as today's teenage girls do at these fairs, but this girl did, wearing a smoldering white tanktop and a pair of pale blue cutoffs that caressed the most perfect ass I saw that night.
As much fun as it was watching the girls walk from behind, their destination was a fun one…the BINGO stand. They went inside and sat on the inner tables inside the pavilion. While they didn't smoke inside like the previous night's teen brunette (FCF #19), they sat next to a group of old ladies, probably stinking of fresh cigarette smoke. I'd see this duo once again about a half hour later, just walking by without cigarettes. I took a good long look at those asses wiggling on by, and recognizing then and there that this duo was certainly making a run at the marquee position for 2012 FCF sightings, ultimately getting a very worthy second-place ribbon.
2013 Update: I perused the grounds a good half hour on my Thursday visit to the country fair in 2013 before stumbling into an attractive female smoker. As I entered the midway, I saw a cluster of two guys, two girls and a stroller, and from the rear I noticed a slender, long-haired light brunette in white shorts had a freshly lit cigarette in her left hand. Jackpot! The group was hovered in front of a carnival game that someone in the group was playing. And the second I laid eyes on the face of the smoker it was instant deja vu. I was looking at last year's woolly beret girl, now probably 18 years old, who in 2012 chain-smoked three cigarettes within an hour one night and who I saw smoking again two nights later. She was the only smoker in the group as the two guys with her weren't smoking nor was the other mediocre female, who sadly was not the even hotter dark brunette that was with her in all of last year's sightings. The stroller had to belong to the other gal because there's no way my skinny woolly beret girl had just delivered a baby within the last few months!
I hung back a bit and watched her smoke. Unlike last night's revisit from the girl who used to look like Selena Gomez, the woolly beret girl's style hadn't necessarily improved. She was mediocre (and upstaged by the friend) last year and remained kind of mediocre this year. But her IT factor more than compensated for the lack of style, and in moments the group began leaving the midway. I scored a couple decent photos, both rear shots but one where her head is turned talking to the guy I presumed to be her nonsmoking boyfriend. She walked through a very busy part of the grounds wielding her cigarette, dragging and exhaling without concern for where the smoke went. That's the woolly beret girl I remember and my confidence that it was her continued to rise. As they scooted in between a food stand and a seating area, it was pretty clear they were going to that elephant show that's back from last year. I was starting to become concerned there'd be too much of a crowd for me to identify her butt, especially when she stopped right next to a garbage can on the ground to stub out the cherry while the rest of her group proceeded to the back of the elephant show seating. I watched in horror thinking the evidence would be tossed into the trash, but I had a guardian angel watching over me tonight as for all the trouble she went to crush out the butt so gingerly right next to that garbage can, she let it lie there in the dirt as she caught up to the rest of the group. I saw that it was a Camel Light, the same brand the woolly beret girl smoked last year. The evidence was in and I could now confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that it was indeed her.
Now I didn't see her smoking again but in the next half hour I'd see her and her group seated at the edge of the BINGO stand. Remember last year she and the friend went to play BINGO right after they finished a cigarette so old habits appear to die hard with this stinky teen. I kept coming back to the area hoping to see she was smoking again but she never did. However I got a decent pic of her sitting there on the bench. And later in the evening when I was at the concert, I looked over my shoulder at one point and caught her group for a literal split second passing by on the sidewalk behind. I could have sworn she had another cigarette going but I can't verify it with certainty.

Fundmine, to be precise, an online investment platform that allows entrepreneurs to sell their company visions to private investors that has to date attracted £8.7m of backing.
Boulle, the son of privacy-conscious diamond tycoon Max Boulle, who was last seen running an unbranded banking and mining investment firm in the tropics, is launching the site on 1 December in partnership with private art dealer Jacob Harmer.
"Word of mouth" has taken the well-connected pair so far, but Fundmine – conceived as a response to the lack of government money available to SMEs – is now offering entrepreneurs a free proposal to be included on the platform on launch, adding to the 100 media, telecoms, property and, naturally, mining businesses already on board.
Serious investment proposals only though, says the man who brought sexymp.co.uk to the nation, adding that he is now "too busy" to commit to another series of the reality show that made him a household name – beyond the Made In Chelsea Christmas special, obviously. "I need to get on with my projects," he told The Capitalist. "But I won't rule it out."
A DOWNBEAT assessment of Unicredit from Morgan Stanley and Citi yesterday, with one bearish Citi analyst noting: "We believe asset quality remains the main area of concern… and execution risk remains high."
"Near-term, the stock may come under technical pressure," agreed Morgan Stanley, downgrading its 2012/13 forecasts by ten per cent and slashing its price target 14 per cent.
Neither analyst's view is particularly helpful to Unicredit's forthcoming £6.4bn rights issue, as announced to great fanfare on Monday. But then that won't bother Citi or Morgan Stanley, since neither has been asked to advise on the lucrative deal.
DESPERATE times call for desperate measures. And things have become so bad in the City that bankers are this morning being prayed for at St Helen's Bishopsgate.
"We'll spend the largest part of our time in prayer for the City, in particular for the professions represented in the West End," the organisers of the City Prayer Breakfast told The Capitalist. Could they possibly mean the likes of Mayfair hedge funds Lansdowne Partners and Odeys, in the news recently for all the wrong reasons?
Best to ask prayer leader Michael Farmer (below), the RK Capital Management boss known as Mr Copper after he turned MG Metals into the world's largest copper trader.
"Let light shine out of darkness," was the committed Christian's message of hope from 2 Corinthians 4:6, proving that yes, it is possible to worship both God and Mammon.
SOME number crunching: £2.8 million – the amount vulnerable people's charity Norwood raised at its annual dinner attended by London Mayor Boris Johnson, Topshop mogul Sir Philip Green, Deloitte's insolvency head Neville Kahn and Shard developer Irvine Sellar.
Three million: the amount the Richard Desmond-backed charity is attempting to save each year, after implementing cost-cutting measures in response to hearing it will lose £4m in annual funding by 2015 due to local authority spending cuts.
"Our challenges at this time are great and the needs of our community are growing," said Norwood's new CEO Elaine Kerr. "We are only going to be limited by our drive, ideas and available funding. It's only the latter that we don't have in abundance."
HE'S BACK: Philip Sandzer, the property industry veteran who founded the leisure agency Shelley Sandzer in the 1980s before disappearing overseas to do charity work.
Seven years after selling his leisure-focused firm, Sandzer has made a "full-time return" to commercial property as head of a new retail and leisure division at DeVono.
He won't represent landlords, though, only tenants, under the firm's "no conflict" model – and Topps Tiles, Ping Pong and Corney & Barrow are already knocking on the door.
AS CHIEF executive of motor repairer Nationwide Accident Repair Services, Michael Wilmshurst sees his fair share of painting – car bonnets, that is.
But what Wilmshurst lacks in artistic talent is more than made up for by his creatively named son, Lewk, who has been named as a finalist in this year's Saatchi Online Showdown, the competition launched by advertising guru and art collector Charles Saatchi as a platform for emerging artists.
The artwork that won the day is the intricate drawing "Morphogenesis//a grain of sand to glass", which will hang in the Saatchi Gallery alongside the other winners.

Two years ago, I was looking for a theatre group to join and i almost zeroed in on another group before I joined Samahaara. And thank god, I made the right choice. I've always been a theatre enthusiast since my college days, but never did have any sort of formal training. And then I heard about Samahaara. It started with that one class all those years ago and the learning never stopped. I'm glad I joined the group. I truly consider Rathna Sir as my Guru.
What started two and a half years ago with a two-and-a-half month workshop that taught me the basics of theatre and acting, went on to be this journey of constant evolution for me. It bothers me that due to personal reasons I couldn't give my best to Samahaara and pursue acting.
I'm a writer and I consider myself really fortunate to have been associated with theatre. My Guru "Rathna Shekar" is a man who is not merely a professional artist but also a disciplined mentor who understands and appreciates art in its true spirit. He knows what it takes to become a good actor, to sustain it in the long run. I have very seldom seen that kind of dedication, enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism in any person related to theatre or film industry. Rathna Shekar ji, I'm really in awe of the motivation, encouragement and support you extend to your team. I'm really proud of you sir, and I feel honoured to be associated with Samahaara.
I really don't think any combination of words can begin to describe how I feel about Samahaara. Thanking all my Samahaarians. Have a great day.

Days Of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, February 19 reveal an intense day in Salem. Will Horton (Chandler Massey) and Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) try to escape. John Black (Drake Hogestyn) tells the truth to a few of his loved ones, and Stefan DiMera (Tyler Christopher) sees Abigail (Marci Miller) in a new light.
'Horita' Predicament
One of the big storylines for February sweeps is John poisoning Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols). Fans are a bit confused as to why John would do that to his best friend. It is clear that his hand is being forced and it has something to do with the ISA. Will and Paul were digging into the mystery, and as a result, John was forced to take drastic action.
Despite a gunshot ringing out, neither character was killed. However, they are both stuck in a dangerous predicament. DOOL spoilers reveal that Will and Paul will try to find a way out of their situation. At the same time, "Horita" will become closer.
John Confesses
Days Of Our Lives spoilers for Monday also tease that a few loved ones will find out the truth. Unable to keep the secret of poisoning Steve, John will confess the truth. He ends up admitting his actions to Steve, Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). How will they react to the shocking news?
Even though Steve will survive, there might be another person who ends up paying the price. Billie Reed (Lisa Rinna) could end up getting caught in the ISA crossfire later in the week.
Stefan & Abigail
DOOL spoilers also reveal that Stefan will see his sister-in-law in a new light, She Knows reported. Abigail has been having a tough time with Andre DiMera's (Thaao Penghlis) death. Even though she doesn't believe that Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) is guilty, Stefan will try to convince her. As fans recall, he has his reasons, especially after that chilling phone call just before Andre's murder.
Days Of Our Lives spoilers tease that there will also be a complicated storyline with Abigail's mental health. Recent events suggest that Abby's psychological issues might come back with a vengeance. Instead of just having hallucinations like she did with her PTSD, she could be dealing with a secondary mental illness.
Rumors suggest that Abigail might have developed a second personality. There are rumors that she ends up sleeping with Stefan. How will this factor into Andre's murder investigation, the "Chabby" romance, and how Stefan handles this complicated storyline?
Days Of Our Lives airs weekdays on NBC.

Laurence is a former Spanish
matador who uses a self-styled martial art based on his deadly bullfighting
methods. He serves as the right-hand man and servant of Wolfgang
Krauser and participates in the tournament under his request. He debuted as a
computer-only character in the Neo Geo version of Fatal Fury 2 and first
became playable in Fatal Fury Special.
world-renowned bullfighter, Laurence is easily capable of gracefully dodging
the charges of bulls and killing them with one stroke of his sword. Few people
suspect what is behind Laurence's incredible career. Since an early age,
Laurence's family has had close ties with the Earl of Strolheim. Having served
the Krauser family for generations, the Blood clan has always played the role
of faithful followers. Laurence has not forgotten that vow, and has served the
latest successor of the Strolheim heir in exchange that Krauser himself would
support Laurence's training as a bull fighter. The trade fared off quite well,
as Krauser had a respected and feared bodyguard in the form of Laurence, and
Laurence himself had earned a name for himself in the bull fighting arenas.
Always the man who
knows how to pay his debts, Laurence attends to Krauser's call, when the
Emperor of Darkness decides to host the second King of Fighters tournament, in
hopes of finding the man who had defeated Geese Howard in the first tourney.
Laurence was in charge of protecting Strolheim Castle while Krauser was out
trashing worthy opponents to prove his might. Laurence did not count on the
power of the "Lone Wolf". Although Laurence was a formidable
opponent, he was ultimately defeated and had to act witness to his lord's
fall. After Krauser's defeat, Laurence vanishes from the bull fighting scene,
possibly to serve his master Krauser for all eternity to make up for his

I can see the
mild cleverness of throwing a "traditional" bull fighter into a
fighting game, but at the end of the day, Laurence is a pretty uninspiring and
generic fighting game character. Not much about him stands out as original or
likeable, and it seems like he
trying a little too hard to be cool. I'm sure if SNK really wanted to, they could
bring him up to speed and give him a updated look... but there are so many other
SNK characters that deserve a comeback over this guy.

That's our first reaction, at least, to this story that a Welsh billionaire is willing to invest some of his own money in a rescue of the Port Talbot steel assets. The giggle coming from, no, not the idea that there is a Welsh billionaire, the thought that, well, yes, that's what we rather expect from people when they buy something. They use their money to buy the thing that they're buying. Seems a reasonable and logical idea to us but it's obviously caught The Guardian by surprise:
Tata Steel: Welsh billionaire could plough own money into UK buyout
We think that "own money!" is really rather cute in fact.
Welsh billionaire Sir Terry Matthews has said he could be willing to put his own money behind a management buyout of Tata Steel's UK business and the Port Talbot steelworks.
Matthews said he is "feeling really good" about the prospects of a rescue deal for the steel business, which could save thousands of jobs in the UK.
Matthews, who made his fortune in technology and telecoms, is part of a consortium of public and private sector figures from south Wales supporting a management buyout.
And that's where it all becomes a little less amusing. Because of course that's not really what is being said at all. Instead the argument is that if government (that's you and me and our pocketbooks as taxpayers) were to, say, pick up the pensions bill, the environmental costs, chip in a bit.....oooh, let's say 25% of the cost.....towards upgrading the facilities, then maybe private sector actors will chip in a little of their cash as well.
We can't help but suspect that the taxpayer money would have to be first in the queue to be spent while that private sector money would be the first to be paid out again.
We're not against government doing things for the public good: we just tend to argue about what that public good is and how to define it. And structuring business deals which look as if they're privatise the profits and socialise the losses just doesn't qualify as something good for the public to us. However surprised The Guardian gets at people being willing to spend their own money.

Our series on the history changing personalities of the book of Acts.
Acts 1:1-5(MSG) Dear Theophilus, in the first volume of this book I wrote on everything that Jesus began to do and teach until the day he said good-bye to the apostles, the ones he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God. As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but "must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon."
Acts 3:1-11(MSG) One day at three o'clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting. At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up. Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout. Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look here." He looked up, expecting to get something from them. Peter said, "I don't have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!" He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm. He jumped to his feet and walked. The man went into the Temple with them, walking back and forth, dancing and praising God. Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God. They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple's Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing. The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon's Porch to see it for themselves.
Acts 8:14-20(NLT) "When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted God's message, they sent Peter and John there. As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new believers to receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John laid their hands upon these believers, and they received the Holy Spirit. When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power. "Let me have this power, too," he exclaimed, "so that when I lay my hands on people, they will receive the Holy Spirit!" But Peter replied, "May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God's gift can be bought!"
Acts 12:6-11(NLT) "The night before Peter was to be placed on trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate. Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, "Quick! Get up!" And the chains fell off his wrists. Then the angel told him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." And he did. "Now put on your coat and follow me," the angel ordered. So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn't realize it was actually happening. They passed the first and second guard posts and came to the iron gate leading to the city, and this opened for them all by itself. So they passed through and started walking down the street, and then the angel suddenly left him. Peter finally came to his senses. "It's really true!" he said. "The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!""
Philippians 1:1-6(NLT) "This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus. I am writing to all of God's holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the elders and deacons. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
Acts 27:39-44(NLT) "When morning dawned, they didn't recognize the coastline, but they saw a bay with a beach and wondered if they could get to shore by running the ship aground. So they cut off the anchors and left them in the sea. Then they lowered the rudders, raised the foresail, and headed toward shore. But they hit a shoal and ran the ship aground too soon. The bow of the ship stuck fast, while the stern was repeatedly smashed by the force of the waves and began to break apart. The soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners to make sure they didn't swim ashore and escape. But the commanding officer wanted to spare Paul, so he didn't let them carry out their plan. Then he ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land. The others held on to planks or debris from the broken ship. So everyone escaped safely to shore."

LIVE AT THE GARAGE: 11/17 Real Friends, Life Lessons, and MORE
Photos by Bethany Schreiner
Review by Lucien O'Brien
Last Friday night, I spent my final hour before Hunter Dumped Us Here, Rally Cap, Life Lessons, and Real Friends wandering around a monstrous aircraft-hanger-turned-antique-mall (one of the only other interesting places to visit in Burnsville other than the Garage). I'd found a decent copy of Prince's out-of-print Chaos and Disorder at the bottom of a stack of CDs, but I didn't bring any money with me, so I had to walk out without it. I was irked, to say the least. Even now as I'm writing this a week and a half later, I'm still kinda irked. I hope it's still there.
Anyways, when I arrived at the Garage to work my shift at the street team table (we hand out candy to people who sign up for our email list and post videos of the show to the Garage's Snapchat—sounds like a hard job, right?), I was still irked. I also went in not knowing any of the bands. Good recipe for some deep, thoughtful critical analysis right there! Nonetheless, Hunter Dumped Us Here managed to cheer me up a bit, even though I had just been forced to abandon my only true friend in the cold, barren hellscape that is Burnsville. If you shut Ben Folds and a Bluetooth speaker inside a suitcase, spent a full month playing Vans Warped Tour™ compilation albums through the speaker at maximum volume, released him, and told him that unless he wrote and recorded a full album for you on the spot you'd throw him back in the suitcase, you'd probably get an album that sounded a lot like Hunter Dumped Us Here. In a good way.
Next there was Rally Cap. Rally Cap was undoubtedly the star of the entire show. High energy, keen melodic sense, wacky dance moves—what more could you ask for? They also opened with "She's My Cherry Pie"—hard to go wrong after that. However, the most important part of Rally Cap's equation was their overwhelming charisma. I admired that the lead singer was just a singer, and didn't play guitar or piano or anything like that while he sung. That's underrated. Aspiring lead singers take note: when you're not strapped down with an instrument, you can engage a lot more with the audience, and therefore be a lot more charismatic. Take me for example: I'm stuck behind a computer and convey no charisma through my writing whatsoever. I suppose that's a bad example because it implies that I would actually be charismatic if you met me in person, but you get the idea.
So. Life Lessons. Really didn't take much away from this set. I guess there was that one time they played a Slayer riff while fooling around between songs. That was cool. I'm glad they listen to Slayer. Slayer's a good band. More people should listen to Slayer. That's a life lesson. Then again, everyone in the crowd was having a great time, laughing and smiling and singing along and whatnot, so maybe I should just shut up. You don't see that kind of thing happening at a Swans show.
Next band. Real Friends' music didn't really do anything for me either, but their set was entertaining as heck, so it was all good. This was one of those instances where the crowd was a hundred times more interesting to watch than the band. Real Friends is less of a "look down at your shoes while you half-heartedly mutter our angsty lyrics through your sobs" band (a lá American Football) and more of a "triumphantly pump your fist in the air to major chords while you scream along to our angsty lyrics" band. The surprising thing was, despite being all sunny and happy, they still managed to incite nonstop mosh pits and crowdsurfing throughout their set. When the lead singer first yelled "c'mon guys, let's get a circle pit going" I started to laugh until lo and behold, the audience actually complied. The thing must've had a twenty-foot diameter, which, in relation to the size of the venue, was massive. There was also a lot of ill advised stagediving (RIP the "I need somebody to shove" sign), which reached its apex when a young woman climbed up on stage, crossed her arms over her chest and, standing up perfectly straight, decided to fall (not jump; fall) face-first into the crowd. I didn't know whether to laugh or send for help. Fortunately, the crowd caught her and begrudgingly helped her get back on her feet. The less concussions the better, I suppose (official mission statement of The Garage right there).
If you take away anything from this review, it should be the fact that I don't know anything about pop-punk, much less how to write about it. It's not like it's a new genre for me or anything—a lot of my friends are Warped Tour diehards who don't hesitate to blast the stuff around me whenever we hang out. I guess it's just that I've never listened to it from a critical angle before. I certainly don't mind the genre. Once in awhile I'll even find a band I dig, like Rally Cap. Going forward as a writer for Garage Music News, I think that I have an interesting musical journey cut out for me. I promise to keep an open mind as long as you guys promise not to dox me if I say something dumb. Deal? Deal.

Construction Updates – August 4-9, 2014
This week the contractor now has two separate pipe crews working on the site. One is running the main line storm sewer down Richard Street, and then cutting between some residential homes to get to Phillips Avenue. Once the pipe is laid on Richard, a road crew will place the gravel surface, and a restoration crew will perform clean up and seeding of the disturbed lawn areas. Paving of the street will occur later. The second crew is continuing work on Dean Avenue. The work on Dean Avenue includes the construction of the mow-able infiltration swales. These swales perform the dual function of both detaining the storm water runoff, while also filtering it. When completed the swales will be seeded with a turf type tall fescue grass.
Now that the detention basin has been seeded, we are anxiously awaiting the grasses to come up and stabilize the ground surface. Once stable, we can begin using the detention area to hold storm water runoff.
Consumers Energy has wrapped up most of the restoration on Phillips, Adelpha, Burton, and Kathy Kourt. Their crew is continuing work on Elm St. performing gas main upgrades.

Johannesburg - The Randburg Magistrates court today heard testimony from murder accused, Sindisiwe Manqele's taxi driver as well as police offers.
Khumbulani Ncube was the first person to take the stand. The taxi driver detailed how Sindi called him on the night in question, asking to be picked up. He says he called her three times when he arrived, but she didn't pick up. He waited for about half an hour, and on his fourth attempt to call her, she picked up saying that she had already left.
He disputed her testimony that he called her for directions, saying he knew where The Sands was.
Paul Monene, a Alexandra police offer then took to the stand. He detailed how she was brought to the police station at around 6am and saw that her hand was injured. He instructed a colleague to take her to the clinic to get medical attention and did not notice any other injuries to her body.
Constable Godfrey Molebetsi then took to the stand, explaining that he arrived at the scene of the crime in the early hours of the morning. He says when he arrived at the house, Flabba's body was covered with a blanket and Sindi was next to him crying. He also testified that he saw no injuries or bleeding on her body.
Court has been postponed to 16 October, where the defence team will call more witnesses. Sindisiwe stands accused of murdering her boyfriend, Flabba Habedi. She claims that she acted in self-defence.

CLUB FOOT ORCHESTRA (Buy CDs by this artist)
Wild Beasts (Ralph) 1986
Kidnapped (Ralph) 1987
Nosferatu [tape] (Ralph) 1989
The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari [tape] (Ralph) 1989
In the years since the Lounge Lizards and Pigbag first made jazz a fashionable post-rock commodity, things have settled down enough that this eight-to-ten-person San Francisco horn-based ensemble can take some of its basic style from '40s swing bands without making a heavy ironic statement. (That Club Foot Orchestra records for Ralph is more emblematic of the label's changes than any fringeworthiness on the band's part.) Trombonist Richard Marriott writes jazzy modern numbers that have nothing to do with Benny Goodman or Harry James, and the group arranges them for horns, violin, drums, etc. That's about it. The results fall somewhere between Frank Zappa and the Ordinaires; a bit bland at times, but generally good, imaginative fun.
Wild Beasts is strictly instrumental and features contributions from the late Snakefinger; Kidnapped is dedicated to him, and has fine vocals by clarinetist Beth Custer on some tracks. The latest two tape-only releases are Marriott's original scores composed for Ralph's videocassette issues of the 1919 and 1921 German cinema classics.[Ira Robbins]

So Washington Capitals fans thought it would be clever to bring cardboard cutout faces of President Barack Obama to Game 3 of the Caps-Bruins series Monday night in an attempt to get under the skin of right wing know-nothing and B's goaltender Tim Thomas.
You may remember Thomas snubbing the Pres back in January. In last night's game, Thomas allowed the most goals he has all series (three), but the Bruins still won 4-3. So did it work? Um, absolutely not.
If Washington fans really wanted to frighten Thomas, they would have held up giant 40x25 posterboard replicas of the Clean Energy Bill or had the entire fan base wear pant suits in honor of Hillary Clinton or have tossed rainbow colored pucks on the ice. There are better ways, and certainly more creative ways, to get under the skin of conservative hockey players.

This brings us to a larger issue. When's the last time a fan base truly came up with something creative?
PTF was a big fan of the big head phenomenon. But, like all good fan crazes, it went the way of the wave (i.e. got Tebow-like overexposure).
Nearly every college basketball fan base has the big heads now and it has truly lost its luster.
A look at some other fan actions that should be trumpeted or dumped:
Crowd surfing: Good
Ladies only. No one wants to heave your husky friend Bill over their heads during a timeout.
Lady Gaga brought this back in 2010 to rave reviews and you sometimes see it during college football games when the girl in your chemistry class has taken one too many sips from the Franzia box.
Booing: Good
A time-honored tradition in sports. You can chant all you want and get about half the stadium on board (at most). But give me tens of thousands of people lustily booing in unison any day of the week. It sounds downright scary and there's no way for a player to ignore it if it's loud enough. One of my favorite boo sessions of all-time came at halftime of the 2003 NFC Championship Game (fast-forward to end). What the hell happened to JaRule and more importantly, Ashanti, anyway?
Towel waving/matching t-shirts: Bad
The goons known as Pittsburgh Steelers fans made this popular with the Terrible Towel back in the '70s. Well, it should have stayed in the '70s. This doesn't intimidate. It looks cool for about three seconds into a telecast and then does not have any effect the rest of the way. This also goes for matching t-shirts as well (i.e. White out the Lions or Black out the Bears). Lame.
The '80s double-first, both hands in the air, back and forth pump: Great
It's difficult to find a documented tribute to this, but you know it when you see it. Your best luck would be scouring the corny yet always entertaining '80s NBA championship tapes.
Overweight Celtics fans from Boston's North End perfected this move decades ago. If you look closely, you might be able to see their bigfoot-like existence through this grainy tape:
This trophy was bound for doom
Haha, everyone snickers that John Calipari's 2012 NCAA trophy is going to be taken away. We get it, the guy cheats.
But Alabama football, not Kentucky hoops or Baylor women's basketball, has been the first college program to have its 2012 National title trophy taken away. Yup, you guessed it. One of the Crimson Tide's dad's smashed it.
In all honesty, it's shocking that this hasn't happened before with this particular trophy. I mean every time Nick Saban or Les Miles holds this thing over their respective heads I almost expect it to smash at the feet of Terry Bradshaw into a million pieces. It's without question, the most smashable championship trophy in all of sports.
A distant second would be the MLB's Commissioner's Trophy with all those bendable flags. Plus it would be dangerously fun just to walk up to Bud Selig after the deed was done and tell him, "Hey Bud. Sorry. I smashed your trophy."

Having grown up in Northern Labrador, my family would spend most of the summer at our summer cabin, while Dad fished the seasonal wild Atlantic salmon. Summer cabin meant no lights, no running water and days in boat checking the fishing nets. It also meant helping Mom wash clothes by hand with a scrubbing board and hand wringer.
Why am I telling you this, because for the last few days I have been without a working washing machine. This means washing clothes for five by hand and ringing out the water also by hand.

Sexist jokes are not funny, therefore we must say #TimesUp
Everybody loves a bit of humour…
In 2014, Basketmouth drew the ire of Nigerians on social media when he cracked a joke about rape while highlighting the differences between 'White girls' and 'African girls'. Many found the joke distasteful because it trivialized rape especially in a county that has a high incidence of gender-based sexual violence.
But he is not the only comedian guilty of using sexist jokes as a subject for cheap laughs, a large bulk of Nigerian comedy is remodifying and sometimes utter repetition. New talents grow up in the trade on such pejorative examples espoused by their senior colleagues.
Essentially, comedy is a multidimensional tool which functions as a channel of catharsis which gives people the opportunity to let steam out, a release of emotional tension that leaves you feeling lighter and even liberated.
"… considering the circumstances Nigeria is facing now, the only thing that can help anybody who is a Nigerian and not just only Nigerians is comedy. When you think of all the bad things, just go and laugh. Laugh it out," said ace Nigerian comedian Julius Agwu.
The comedy scene in Nigeria is no doubt burgeoning, from the millions of Naira comedians, rake in within a few minutes of stand-up routine on stage, to the rising number of comedy concerts which dot calendars all year round. The economic viability of the sub-sector of Nigeria's entertainment industry has led to the proliferation of new comic talents.
In spite of this, however, stand-up comedy has become another cultural trope through which the Nigerian woman is demeaned and unflattering stereotypes about her perpetuated. Most often than not, because there is a perceived noble intention behind these jokes, their negative impacts are lost on the audience.
Anthropologist Mary Douglas noted that "the joke form rarely lies in the utterance alone, but can be identified in the total social situation." In essence, jokes find their roots in their social contexts and since comedians are products of their own societies, they invariably borrow from the pool of their experiences.
She further noted that jokes are meant to represent, distort and reorder communal perception. Hence, individual comedians while an experiential product, has the capacity to make and remake tropes that form parts of their stand up routines.
A society is a reflection of its socio-cultural belief system, Nigeria is a patriarchal society which hails men for their misogynistic attitudes towards women, while women are conditioned and expected to be subservient and embrace it as the norm. But these attitudes are communicated subtly through sites such as songs and comedy skits, and it further strengthens patriarchal stereotypes, presented in a way that's socially acceptable.
"Sexist jokes are more often than not, informed by the knowledge and exposure of the person telling the jokes," said Alibaba, (real name Atunyota Alleluya Akporobomerere) who is regarded as the 'Father of Nigeria's modern-day stand up comedy.
Although he acknowledged, like Alibaba, that jokes are somewhat experiential, comedian Bovi tacitly acknowledged that some jokes are deemed safe by comedians insofar it does not "hit below the belt".
"I am of the opinion that a joke is a joke as long it doesn't hit below the belt on a wider scale," he said.
But who determines "below the belt" in an industry that reeks of male dominance and lacks no codes for where and why to draw the line between what can be sacrificed for entertainment or not.
During a stand-up routine, a popular comedian, Ayo 'AY' Makun trivialised the inappropriate sexual conduct of a "Big Brother" housemates towards a female contestant, saying that the man could not control himself, rather than the applauds he anticipated, people clapped back at him. But the comedian's coerced apologies further revealed a poor understanding of why the joke was offensive, defending the act as "pure comedy."
But Lawerence E. Mintz said the comedian crossing the line by making apparent sexist jokes that affront the woman can be excused on the grounds that they have "traditional license for deviant behaviour and expression." According to him, comedians' practice originated from the 'cruel but natural act of ridiculing physical and mental defectives."
However, Bovi argues that some sexist jokes are like a diamond in the rough: while they appear crude on the surface, their intents are corrective.
"I have seen comedians get away with murder simply because their delivery was artistic and extremely funny and also corrective," he said.
"You can highlight a problem, enhance it and make a jest of it before addressing the ills and condemning it."
Actress and comedian Chioma 'Chigurl' Omeruah said her male counterparts need to repurpose their jokes. She said jokes can be corrective without them caricaturing the woman with stereotypes that do her image no good. In fact, she said sexist jokes that ridicule any gender should not be tolerated.
"I don't think we have to offend just to get laughs," she said. "I strongly believe that all of us should speak up against sexism of any and every kind whether it be targeted at the male or female gender.
"If it is wrong, it is wrong!"
This report is undertaken with support from Code For Africa to amplify the Gender Gap conversation

Dress - The dress was made using McCall's pattern M4491, view A. It was made out of a medium weight white satin. I had to make modifications to the dress once the parts were put together since the pattern didn't fit Lisa all that well. The bottom of the dress was edged in a burgundy trim in two forms; the plain strip and the crisscrossing pattern. The plain border was made out of a cotton bias hem while the crisscrossing pattern was made using two rolls of burgundy satin faced ribbon. The ribbon was first laid out in one layer, then the second layer that completed the look was sewn on after. The corners are all continuous ribbon, each having been folded and pinned in place prior to sewing.

|One stencil done
Pauldrons - The pauldrons were the scariest thing to attempt making from this costume. I came up with several drawings of them before I decided on a pattern. I made them using three main parts; the top of the pauldron, the "wing" and the little insert between the wing and the top. I also had to make the center piece that lay between the pauldrons. I had to play with the pieces a bit to get the right shape and size of each. The final shapes were cut from EVA floor mats from the dollar store. All the detailing were just strips of the EVA foam with the top edges cut to try and round it out. The pieces were glued together using contact cement while the detailes were glued on with hot glue. Some of the finer details such as those swirls on the top of the pauldrons were made by drawing them with hot glue. The centerpiece was made out of craftfoam and the thicker EVA foam with expanded cut detail lines.

Vincent Dessard
Senior Regulatory Policy Advisor
1. Many reports hint at growing collateral demands and possible shortages. How big will the need for collateral get?
To give an answer is almost impossible to say as it depends on several factors:
- the type of eligible collateral
- the required amount
- the capacity of the collateral giver to acquire or transform assets
- the capacity to leverage
It is important to note that the vast majority of regulated fund and fund managers are only able to deliver collateral on their own assets without borrowing capability.
2. Are there any additional types of collateral to be potentially used (or even coming into use now)?
From a fund manager and regulated fund point of view, the more diverse, the better - in order to meet any strategic requirements. One limitation that remains stable is the need to have sufficient liquidity in the chosen type of collateral.
3. What has been the impact of CRD IV/CRR so far? Have there been any differences between how the buy-side and the sell-side have been (and will be) affected?
Funds and asset managers are not directly subject to CRD IV/CRR. The impact is only indirect, through an increase in cost that has an impact on the economics of trade.
4. In general, have financial institutions of various sizes adapted differently to the constantly evolving regulations?
All have to adapt but not all have same needs or same national regime. The evolution / adaption is surprisingly aligned on the size of the market participant, not buy- or sell-side.

O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.

Moon River - A fingerstyle guitar lesson
Guitar Lesson by Kirk Lorange
Difficulty Rating: Intermediate-Advanced
Moon River - The Lesson explained
Here's one I've been meaning to do for a long time now. Moon River. What a beautiful tune it is, written by Henry Mancini. Do yourself a favor and check out Audrey Hepburn singing this in that famous scene from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. She does a pretty good job of faking the guitar playing too. It's on YouTube.
There have been so many versions of this and I listened to most before coming up with this arrangement. The key of F seems to be the favorite but it's not very good for guitar. I chose G, as usual, once again the most guitar-friendly.
It's in 3/4 time, a waltz.
I wrote a little intro for it, a pretty standard sounding I - vi - ii - V progression, which of course in G means G - Em - Am - D. There are some extensions added to those basic chords, just to pretty them up a bit. The Em has a 9 added to it, the Am is really Am7 with an added 11 -- which is a 4. The D7 has an E note thrown in, turning it into a D9. You'll notice that open strings are a big part of the intro, so ... fingers: beware.
The tune itself starts at bar 9. I chose to do quite a long leap up the fretboard for that high A note. I could have played it at the 5th fret of the E string, but I prefer the B string for notes like that ... accented notes, notes I might want to enhance with a bit of vibrato. I always find that doing so on the thin E string is risky as there's always that chance of the string slipping off the edge of the fingerboard. I also get a bigger, louder note from the heavier gauge B string. I also wanted that 9th extension to be in there (the F# note played on the G string) and it's within easy reach when played up there.
The next bit uses quite a few open string notes. Open strings come in very handy. First of all, they need no help from your fretboard hand ... they're open. Second, they can ring on over other notes that normally would choke them off. Third, they give your fretting hand a couple of extra nanoseconds to get to where you need to go, since it's not needed for that note. Bars 11 and 12 are where to look out for those open strings coming into play.
The next few bars are a little more compact, staying down near the nut. The trickiest bit for me was that F13 chord. My hand wasn't very familiar with that shape and needed a bit of convincing. You'll notice I curly my thumb over the fretboard for a few bass notes in this piece. I usually shy away for doing that as it gave me a lot of pain a few years ago. It doesn't seem to bother me as much any more. It does come in handy.
Bars 22 to 24 are interesting musically, the way the chords change on the third beats of the measure.
At bar 25, the main melody starts up again and is pretty much an exact copy until bar 34. That's where the build to the ending begins. Again, I chose to move well up the fretboard for that C#m7-5 (C sharp minor seventh flat 5 ... sometimes called C# half-diminished), for the same reasons. You'll see my thumb curl over again for that bass note.
I use the same I - vi - ii - V from the intro progression for the outro. End on a I chord and we're done!

Guitar Lesson by Kirk Lorange
As well as putting together these fingerstyle guitar lessons, I am also the author of PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Package, which teaches a mindset, a way of thinking about music and a way of tracking it all on the guitar fretboard. Yes, there IS a constant down there in the maze of strings and fret wire, a landmark that points to everything at all times. I call it The Easiest Yet Most Powerful Guitar Lesson You Will Ever Learn and many testimonials at my site will back up that rather superlative description. If your goal as a guitar player is to be able to truly PLAY the guitar, not just learn by rote; to be able to invent on the fly, not memorize every note; to be able to see the WHOLE fretboard as friendly, familiar territory, not just the first 5 frets and to do it all without thinking about all those scales and modes, then you should read more here.

What: A lecture by Tara Zahra
"Emigration, Ethnic Cleansing or Humanitarianism: The Campaign to Resettle Eastern European Jews in the 1930s,"
When: Thursday, Nov. 5, 5 p.m. Reception to follow.
Where: National World War II Museum, 945 Magazine St., New Orleans
RSVP: This program is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Ensure your spot by RSVPing online or over the phone at 504-528-1944 ext. 412.
University of Chicago historian Tara Zahra will deliver the 15th George G. Windell Memorial Lecture in European History on Thursday, Nov. 5 at The National World War II Museum. Her lecture is entitled, "Emigration, Ethnic Cleansing or Humanitarianism: The Campaign to Resettle Eastern European Jews in the 1930s." A reception will take place at 5 p.m. with the lecture to follow at 6 p.m.
The Windell Lecture is sponsored by the University of New Orleans Department of History and The National World War II Museum.
Zahra is a professor of East European History at the University of Chicago and a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, the so-called "genius" grant. The fellowships aim to "encourage people of outstanding talent to pursue their own creative, intellectual and professional inclinations." Zahra is a historian who challenges the development of the concepts of nation, family and ethnicity and painting a more integrative picture of 20th century European history. With conceptual and empirical rigor, Zahra's writings combine broad socio-historical analysis with extensive archival work across a wide range of locales.
Her first book, "Kidnapped Souls: National Indifference and the Battle for Children in the Bohemian Lands, 1900¬–1948," examines the 20th century cultural politics of German and Czech nationalism with children as the centerpiece, demonstrating that the changing concept of who owns children was essential to the definition of national identities.
In "The Lost Children: Reconstructing Europe's Families after World War II," Zahra illuminates an essential chapter of the postwar period in Europe—the negotiations over the repatriation of children and the reconstitution of families. Starting with the efforts of rescue groups during the Armenian genocide and the Spanish Civil War, to the Second World War and postwar conflicts over repatriation and appropriate psychological treatment of unaccompanied or orphaned children, she shows that questions about how best to serve children's interests were in fact an integral part of debates concerning how to rebuild the nation, physically and psychologically, after the devastation of war.
Currently engaged in a new project that examines a century of emigration from East Central Europe to Western Europe and the United States, Zahra is entering into important new debates about the notions of individual freedoms and human rights and offering a more transnational understanding of events in twentieth-century Europe.
Zahra received a B.A. from Swarthmore College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. She was a fellow with the Harvard Society of Fellows (2005–2007) prior to joining the faculty of the University of Chicago.
