Reveries & Other Fantasies
These photographs set idealized architectural miniatures against southern vernacular architecture. These images refer to ideas of place, belonging, refuge, escape and fantasy. These spaces are reveries tinged with nostalgia and wistfulness for what never was; illusions that seek and hope to become real.
When viewed together, these images form a narrative, an exploration of a space. They present the viewer with inhabited landscapes that are devoid of human figures but full of their traces. These fictional landscapes are anchored to a determined place, they dwell in a recognizable geography, a romanticized American South.
The work presented here uses a reversal of photographic custom where the image represented is not scaled down to fit within the print, but is instead magnified. The miniatures photographed stand in for ordinary objects they are archetypes that can be recognized at a glance. At first, the images are plausible but something undermines that plausability. The objects are easy to read, but something in the details challenges the plausibility of the image.

Welcome to my page
so nice having you here! :)
To me, photography is more than just a hobby, it is a passion. It all started with my cousin, being very much into photography and passing this passion on to me. So my start was macrophotography, which still fascinates me very much. But somehow I could consider myself a photography addict all the way from portrait-, through out landscape- and stellar- towards macrophotography. It just got a passion, framing whatever I come across and letting it shine.
In my gallery you can see all the big shots, I am quite proud of. Consider it a collection of my best shots.
On Instagram you can follow me daily, seeing what I am up and about.
If you enjoy staying on my website, I am delighted about your comments and questions.

With the help of Technology we make our lives better and protect the resources of the earth. We improve a business' production and efficiency. Every man can deliver his tasks in the best security and quality conditions and in the minimum required time.
About us
Eyetech was founded in 2015. Eyetech was the end result of a many year road, full of experiences, in the informatic systems field and also in the promotion of pioneering and smart systems.
Our vision is to make our lives better through pioneering and quality technology. Our main goal is the development and promotion of new products and solutions in the field of industry and informatics. For this purpose, in decades, we have developed an excelent network of people and business relations that relies on trust and realiability, capable to make the difference and go beyond every interesting product or service. So, we make use of our experience, our knowledge and our co-operation in this rich human network.
Co operation.
Our cooperation with startups and other innovative companies and institutes, gives us the ability to be reliable and to grow dynamically. Every partnership for us is a personal bet of mutual trust, with respect in the particular talents, skills and of course in the professionalism that every people have. The mutual benefficial agreements is the only way to produce something better for the people and companies out there.
Our difference.
Usually we see the phenomenon of coexistence of great people with lots of skills in companies that are dedicated to a single field. For instance, a great startup with great engineers and tromendous knowledge of the field, that has a very hard problem on promotion and sales. From the other side, an excellent and experienced seller without the knowledge of the digital world. Our difference relies here. In the fact that the company's founders come from different fields of knowledge and experience. Informatics, Sales and Services, Professional Sports and Sports Management! That is what we need today! Homogenization, union of powers with a common vision and communication language.

Nothing symbolizes the spirit of the holiday season more than neighbors opening their doors and hospitality to guests they've never met.
And if those doors open to rooms lavishly decorated for the season, that's even better.
The Cancer Support Center's Holiday House Walk, taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, showcases that spirit and offers some great holiday decorating ideas, said the center's Brandon Newberry.
This year's tour includes four uniquely decorated homes in Flossmoor as well as events at Flossmoor Country Club.
The last Holiday House Walk, held in 2014, saw area residents and organizations snapping up more than 200 tickets for the home tours and 130 tickets for the luncheon that followed, Newberry said.
Traditionally, the afternoon meal at Flossmoor Country Club includes an opportunity to enjoy raffles and to shop at booths set up by local vendors who support the Center.
Flossmoor resident and cancer survivor Joan Dobrez and the Women's Board of the Cancer Center conceived the idea for the House Walk and luncheon more than 15 years ago.
The 10 outings in years since have collectively generated $250,000 to help pay for programs, resources and services delivered free to participants by professional therapists, counselors, nutrition educators and experts at the center's facilities — 2028 Elm Road in Homewood and the new location in Mokena at 19645 S. LaGrange Road, Newberry said.
Latest Daily Southtown
Tickets are $25 for the House Walk and $25 for the luncheon and can be purchased online atwww.classy.org/flossmoor/events/holiday-house-walk/e151907 and will be available at 9 a.m. Saturday at Flossmoor Country Club, 1441 Western Ave.
Founded in 1992, the Cancer Support Center is a community-based,volunteer-driven, donor-supported organization.

"CloudThink – To think correctly about cloud and cloud issues."
I've been discussing cloud with various people over the last few days and I've come to the realisation that people think about cloud in the wrong way. ["ungoodcloudthinkers"]
Most people tend to think first about the technology involved with cloud. If one is to correctly sell the cloud proposition ["cloudthinkwise"] then you must consider the "why?" first. Cloud is there to solve a business problem or be a possible solution to various business questions:
- What business problem do I have that I'd like to fix? IT inflexibility, slow to implement new applications, reduce datacentre utilisation, reduce costs.
- How can I be more efficient with my IT spend, utilisation and management?
- How can I grow quickly to meet new business demands?
"Cloudthinking" addresses these questions first as understanding the answers provides the drivers to sufficiently support the change and transformation to cloud. Cloud and cloud implementations, for the existing customer, are a change to the status quo. If done for the right reasons the benefits are measureable and consistent and CxO levels can see tangible results. Cloud for the new customer, with no DC to put servers and applications in, should be a first consideration.
Once the why is considered, understood and agreed then it is time to consider the technology or type of cloud that will deliver these business needs in the best way; the options are numerous:
- Private Cloud (in customer DC).
- Hosted-Private Cloud (in a vendor DC).
- Public Cloud (in a cloud provider's DC, Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the leaders here).
- Virtual Private Cloud (a customer dedicated chunk of a cloud provider's Public Cloud infrastructure).
- Hybrid Cloud (any mix of the above).
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service which is typically the above).
- PaaS (Platform as a Service which is IaaS with additional application stacks added).
- SaaS (Software as a Service which is just access to the software functionality without the ownership and maintenance of the HW or SW, eg. SalesForce.com).
- BPaaS (Business Process as a service HR, ERP, CRM etc.).
- WaaS (Workplace as a Service. A new way of thinking about desktop services).
With all these cloud options to choose from, with all their implications of how, what and why, selecting the right choice needs "goodcloudthinking". My job is to work "cloudthinkful" with our customers and help them develop "cloudthinkwise" towards their business.

Another Great "Moths at Night" Event at Prairie Ridge
It's National Moth Week! This international, week-long celebration of moths and other nighttime insects gets people outside to appreciate an often overlooked part of our natural world. The Museum has participated in National Moth Week every year since its beginning in 2012, hosting a big public moth night each year at Prairie Ridge – and 2019 was our best year yet!
How do we celebrate National Moth Week? By taking advantage of moth biology and behaviors! Our Moths at Night event is centered around highly attractive light stations. Everyone knows that moths come to lights, and we put up special kinds of lights that they like the best. Then we shine the lights onto white sheets. The lights attract the insects and the sheets give the insects something to hold on to when they come to the lights. All our light stations had this same basic setup, but we had a lot of different styles of lights this year.
Most of our light stations are ultraviolet (UV or blacklight) lights of some sort:
These lights emit UV light that moths and other insects love! We tried three different types of blacklights this year: compact fluorescent UV bulbs, UV floodlights, and a battery powered LED blacklight strip light. The latter was new this year and we were really pleased with it! We plugged it into a phone charger battery and it ran easily through the entire program – no electrical outlets/generator or extension cords required!
We also used a mercury vapor light. These emit a wide range of light wavelengths – both visible and UV – so that they are very attractive to a wide range of species. Mercury vapor lights are very popular with entomologists because they're a really big bang for your buck in terms of attracting night insects. Our mercury vapor light almost always has the greatest variety and abundance of insects, so it's always a good bet for bring in amazing insects.
We saw some great moths this year! This Blind-eyed Sphinx was the highlight of the night for a lot of people:
It arrived early for a large moth, shortly after dark, and it hung around through the whole event, so everyone was able to see it. They have a really beautiful pink underwing with a large eyespot that's hidden when they keep their wings closed like in the photo.
These moths were very common, as always:
Elegant Grass Veneers live in grassy areas, like the lawn surrounding our classroom, so it was no surprise to see a large number of them.
This Brown-shaded Gray illustrates why it's always worth taking a second look at the drab moths:
How beautiful is this moth? It's not obvious at all unless you get up close and really look, but then you get to see all the lovely swirls and patches of color.
The lights were the focus of the event, but we had other things to keep people engaged. The North Carolina Entomological Society brought several live insects, some pinned specimens, and a craft and most people at the event asked them insect questions. Their table was a big hit! We also had an assortment of moth crafts and Moth Bingo. People who got a bingo by seeing at least 5 of the species on their bingo card won a moth button to take home at the end of the night.
We don't just look at moths at Moths at Night – we participate in science too! The National Moth Week organizers partnered with iNaturalist this year to gather data on moth sightings all week, so we encouraged people to photograph the moths they saw and share them through iNaturalist. We also offered a variety of resources that people could use to identify the moths they saw, including some they could take home to continue their mothing adventures on their own.
The moths were the star of the event, but there were a lot of other insect species attracted to the lights. However, the most popular non-moth animals had to have been the Southern Flying Squirrels! Apologies for the bad photo, but it's hard to photograph a small, moving mammal in the dark:
Two squirrels took advantage of the seed in the bird feeder near the mercury vapor light station, so many people were able to get a good look – and sometimes a first ever look – at these adorable little squirrels while they gorged themselves on seed. They eventually glided off into the woods, but we were so happy they stopped by!
Overall, we had nearly 100 people join us to enjoy moths, other insects, crafts, live insect displays, and flying squirrels. Another successful, fun National Moth Week event! If you missed it, you'll have to wait to join us next year, but National Moth Week runs through tomorrow, Sunday, July 28, so you still have a few nights to celebrate on your own. We'd love to hear about what you see, so comment below if you find any moths!
Nature's Notebook: An Uncommon Occurrence
This post is brought to you by Morgan Gilbert, 2018 fall intern at Prairie Ridge. She is a senior at NC State and is graduating with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Biology with a Wildlife concentration in a few days. Thanks, Morgan!
Here at Prairie Ridge Ecostation, we do periodic checks of trees for Nature's Notebook, a citizen science project that collects phenological data on plants and animals nationwide. (Phenology is the study of the events that occur in the annual life cycle of a species.) Tree phenology research is focused on the leaves, leaf buds, flower, fruits, etc of the trees. You may ask who does the collection, scientists, researchers, or dendrologists (scientists who study the structure and characteristics of trees)? Well anyone can, including you! All you need is a basic knowledge of native trees (easily learned!), a data sheet, and a pencil. For very tall trees, you may also need binoculars. Then print a packet for each of the trees you want to monitor from the Nature's Notebook website to help you identify the tree, answer all the questions, and record the data for that tree.
For example, say I am trying to find out whether a tree I want to monitor is a Black Cherry or not. How do I start? First I look through the Nature's Notebook packet for Black Cherry, where the first few pages will explain what the Black Cherry looks like, including a few photographs with the leaves and bark (Black Cherry has noticeable horizontal etches on the bark – see photo below). Once I figure out if the tree is a Black Cherry, I then look up at the branches and answer a series of questions to determine how many leaves, buds, flowers, and fruits are on it. This is all quite easy to figure out since the packet gives you steps to follow. After collecting these data, I move on to the other trees on my list. Here at Prairie Ridge Ecostation, we collect data from Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), Pecan (Carya illinoinensis), Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Boxelder (Acer negundo), Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua).
Usually trees will bloom and grow leaves during certain times of the year. However, two of our native trees here at Prairie Ridge Ecostation have been doing odd things from October through December. For instance, our Eastern Redbud has bloomed in November and December for the past four or five years. This tree will go into full bloom early next year, but blooming at all in the fall is strange.
This timeline shows when the Eastern Redbud at Prairie Ridge has flowered in 2016 (top) and 2017 (bottom). This year it is blooming right now!
Our other oddity, the Boxelder, has started to show opening leaf buds and leaves during November. Boxelder breaking leaf buds and leaves do not usually start showing until the beginning of the year.
This timeline shows the random leaf buds on the Boxelder opening up during November of 2017 (top). This same tree also started showing some leaves this year in November (bottom, though the most recent data has not been entered yet, so it does not appear on this timeline). Weird!
Now a big question we are asking is why exactly is this happening? Is it that weird spurt of warmth, does this always happen, or is this something new? Looking through the data from the past 10 years, I found that the Eastern Redbud did not bloom during October-December of 2009 but did bloom in during October of 2010. The Eastern Redbud continued to bloom off-and-on up until 2014, where has bloomed in November and December every year. Unfortunately we do not have any data prior to 2008. With more data we could figure out why these plants are blooming or growing leaves during the winter, which is part of why we collect data for Nature's Notebook. By sharing data with Nature's Notebook over the long term, we will be able to detect trends in the future.
If you would like to collect data on your trees or learn more, head on over to Nature's Notebook and begin your adventure! Or, attend a Citizen Science Saturday or a training at Prairie Ridge to get some hands on experience with us in the project. We'd love to help get you started!
WeDigBio 2018
This post is brought to you by Morgan Gilbert. Morgan is a senior at NC State and is majoring in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Biology with a Wildlife concentration. She is interning for the Citizen Science Unit at Prairie Ridge this semester. Thanks, Morgan!
WeDigBio is a citizen science event that collaborates with the public to transcribe data labels of biological specimens and event information into online databanks. Once transcribed, this digitized data then becomes readily available to scientists and the public, allowing everyone access to information all around the globe. The information being digitized focuses primarily on specimen samples, such as fish in jars, pinned insects, pressed plants, and fossils. Another common focus is on dragonfly swarm appearances, which involves the location, how many were seen, what time of day, what the weather conditions were during the swarm, information on surroundings, and who collected the data. These labels can be very intensive depending on the focal point.
WeDigBio was launched in 2015 by a group of representatives from iDigBio, Florida State University, University of Florida, the Australian Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, and Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle. These representatives realized the importance of involving the public to make things happen faster and more efficiently, while also promoting awareness and research. With this focus, they created a global effort that allowed anyone to log in to a website and then transcribe however much they want.
Originally it was difficult for museums, universities and collectors to provide information on the vast amounts of specimens and information they harbored. Scientists would have to check in with the manager for each collection they needed information from and wait until they received word back. It also took time to search through the files to find the specific creatures needed. Then they had to process the specimen and make sure it was ready to travel. Just finding the information added on to the amount of time it took to process the specimen, which could take days up to months depending on where the specimen needed to be sent. Thanks to WeDigBio, information on specimens is now readily available to scientists and researchers all around the world.
Now, each year during a four-day event, hundreds of people around the world join in and work on transcribing as much as possible. Just this year, over 43,000 specimens have been transcribed to digital. That is quite a lot, but there are still many more to be worked on. At these events, a few scientists involved with the collections will show up and speak to the attendees about what they do with the collections and some of the current research being done with the help of the specimens. This aids to the growing interest and creates an increasing need for more information.
Tagging Monarch Butterflies
This post is brought to you by Morgan Gilbert! Morgan is a senior at NC State and is majoring in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Biology with a Wildlife Concentration. She is interning for the Citizen Science Unit at Prairie Ridge this semester. Thanks, Morgan!
With nets in hand, today's Citizen Science Saturday started out with a bang, chasing after Monarch butterflies along the prairie. The intent this time not just to observe them up close, but to place a minuscule sticker on the hindwing. On this sticker is an ID number that helps researchers track the migration flight of the butterfly. The sticker is also specifically made light and with a strong adhesive so as to minimally affect the butterfly during migration.
Catching these lepidopterans was quite an excitement, with each being caught in unique ways. The first of our hunt was patiently sitting on a flower and barely reacted when a net was placed over it. Once within the net, the catcher then gently pinches the top of the base of all four wings close to the butterfly's body (as seen in the picture below). In this position, the butterfly is immobile and will not be injured. The scales will not come off easily either. A sticker is then attached to the largest cell located on the hindwing. After a sticker is attached, the butterfly is then released. A total of three Monarchs were caught and tagged during this expedition. One of those tagged crawled right onto someone's hand. The other had to be chased.
Other than placing a sticker, we also recorded information on each Monarch, including the tag number, sex, status, and date and location where the butterfly was captured. To tell the males apart from the females, we look for a large black spot on a vein on their hindwing. You can see this scent gland on the hindwing of the male in the image below.
The migration of the Monarch butterflies was discovered by Dr. Fred Urquhart, who developed the first method of butterfly tagging in the 1940s and called on the help of hundreds of citizen scientists to track the migration. After nearly 30 years of tagging and research, Monarchs were finally discovered overwintering in the fir forests of the mountains of Mexico by citizen scientists. Since then, over a dozen sites have been discovered within the area.
The butterflies we tag here will make their trip into Mexico starting in November. Come next March, the butterflies will then migrate back into the United States to lay eggs and begin a new generation.
The ID's of the three caught on September 20 at Prairie Ridge were YXA 829, YXA 832, and YXA 837. You can follow our butterflies on https://www.monarchwatch.org/tagmig/recoveries.htm in late spring or summer of 2019!
Featured Creature: Monarch Butterfly
Monarch butterflies are iconic and easily recognized residents of the Americas. They are widely distributed across North America, from Mexico northwards to southern Canada, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts.
What's special about them?
One of the most notable characteristics of these butterflies is the remarkable 3000-mile journey they make to their overwintering grounds in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico in the fall. From mid-September through mid-October migrating monarchs pass through North Carolina, most prominently in the mountains and at the coast.
See live monarchs today!
Here at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, we fly monarch butterflies in the Living Conservatory, commonly thought of as the "butterfly room"! While they may look the same as the monarchs you see outside, our monarchs are raised on butterfly farms and belong to a non-migratory subspecies generally found throughout the Caribbean, Central America and south to the Amazon River.
Did you know that migrating monarchs are declining in number?
Population surveys are conducted annually at monarch overwintering grounds. This past winter showed a 14.8% decline from the previous year and an overall 90% decrease in population from just 20 years ago. Several factors play a role in monarch population decline, including habitat loss and climate change.
What can you do to help?
It's as simple as planting a garden with native milkweed and nectar plants. Then take it a step further – participate in citizen science projects such as the Monarch Watch tagging program and support local and national conservation organizations to preserve this amazing natural phenomenon.

Citizen Science Saturday's eBird: A Firsthand Experience
This post is brought to you by Morgan Gilbert! Morgan is a senior at NC State and is majoring in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Biology with a Wildlife Concentration. She is interning for the Citizen Science Unit at Prairie Ridge this semester. Thanks, Morgan!
For nearly 10 years, Museum staff at Prairie Ridge Ecostation have conducted public citizen science eBird walks and submitted their sightings. eBird was developed as a way for birdwatchers, or birders for short, to provide information on where and when specific species of birds are found. This information is then used by scientists and researchers to, among other things, track the migration of birds around the world and to see what impacts climate change has had on birds. eBird now receives millions of sightings each year, many of which are generated through citizen science programs. Along with eBird, Prairie Ridge also organizes various other citizen science programs such as Natural North Carolina, Lost Ladybug, and many more.
The eBird Walk was the first Citizen Science Saturday event I had ever attended at Prairie Ridge Ecostation. Being new to bird watching, I was quite worried that my limited knowledge of native birds might make it difficult to enjoy and assist in identifying birds for the eBird data. However, within a few minutes, it became apparent to me that this program was built to bring people in, whether new to birding or seasoned in the field, and that I was not the only person there that could at best recognize a Northern Cardinal. I was also about to find out why this location is so popular for birders!
After a short introduction about Prairie Ridge Ecostation (I had no idea just how large this place was!) and the purpose of Citizen Science Saturdays, we moseyed down to the birdfeeders to find out what granivorous (seed/grain eating) birds we would find. At these feeders, I saw Red-winged Blackbirds, Carolina Chickadees, a Pine Warbler, and lots of Northern Cardinals. I was also excited to see a few Purple Martins hanging out around hollowed-out gourds. Everywhere I looked there was a new bird to identify! The only difficulty was that we had to make sure they were properly identified before marking them down in our datasheet. Marking down improperly identified birds will provide inaccurate information to eBird.
Next we wandered off towards the pond counting murmurations of European Starlings and trying to figure out if we were seeing Song Sparrows or Chipping Sparrows. A good way to find this out is to look for patches of black on the head. Song Sparrows have some black lines near the eye and a black spot on the head, Chipping Sparrows have only brown. At the pond we looked for birds in and around the water. I was able to spot a few Hooded Mergansers. Someone spotted a Canada Goose and another Chipping Sparrow. After identifying all the birds we could find, we then headed back to the bird feeders to see if any more birds had come out in our absence.
The popularity of Prairie Ridge Ecostation for birders is due to the vast variety of bird species found during each month of the year. Just in the first hour of Citizen Science Saturday, we saw and identified over 20 species! I have never seen that many birds in a week!
At the end of this session I felt like I had a better grasp on identifying birds and that I learned quite a few things about their characteristics. For example, Eastern Towhees preferred to forage on the ground under the feeders and the Blue Jay intimidates all the other birds off the feeder. I also had no idea what a challenge it was to tell birds apart while they are flitting around the ground. Oftentimes birds will stick in pairs or groups, such as female Northern Cardinals staying close to the males or the Mourning Doves hanging in groups of 2-3. This actually made it easier for me to count them. Did you know that the European Starling was brought here by Eugene Schieffelin, who wanted to introduce all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare's plays? I did not. Now the starlings are highly invasive and have been negatively affecting our crops and local nesting birds.
It is very easy to fall in love with Prairie Ridge Ecostation and to become interested in the various events that are held here. I was originally supposed to complete only 10 hours of Environmental Education volunteer experience for one of my classes at NCSU, but I enjoyed this so much that I continued volunteering after the 10 hours were finished. I hope you will come join us and appreciate this program as much as I have!
Birds of Prairie Ridge (Part 1)
This blog post is brought to you by Richa Patel, Prairie Ridge's YAIO summer intern. Richa will complete her degrees at NC State in aerospace engineering and political science this fall. Thanks Richa!
On the dim, early morning of June 23, I arrived at Prairie Ridge Ecostation at 6:30 AM to observe that week's bird banding. I thought I was up early, but, upon reaching bird banders John Gerwin and Holly Ferreira, I learned that banding leader Keith Jensen had arrived long before to set up the mist nets. Former NCMNS intern Hanna Rogers wrote a great primer on how mist nests are used and bird banding is done at Prairie Ridge, which can be read here.
Once all of the expected banders arrived, regular rounds were made to check on all of the mist nets scattered around the prairie and arboretum. The first bird found was a beautiful male Indigo Bunting at a net near the lake. Further along, a Red-Bellied Woodpecker was also picked up during the round.
Male Indigo Bunting held in a photographer's grip. This Bunting had a previous band, indicating it had been caught and banded before. Pictures by Anna Slayton and Richa Patel.
Here, in its breeding plumage, this Indigo Bunting is an iridescent blue, an indicator that it's a male. Female Indigo Buntings, on the other hand, are a light brown, although some do have a tinge of blue. A juvenile will look similar to a female, with the addition of faint white streaks on its back and breast. Once breeding season is over, this Indigo Bunting will molt for the winter until it becomes predominantly brown again. An interesting thing to note is that there is no blue pigment in the feather of these birds; the bright blue you see is actually created by a refraction of light. If it's cloudy, an Indigo Bunting may appear black instead!

Where the Indigo Bunting remained calm during the health measurements, the Red-Bellied Woodpecker was feistier. The red patch on the woodpecker's head indicates that this young bird is most likely a male, as female Red-Bellied Woodpeckers usually just have red on their napes. A closer look at its abdomen would show a small patch of pale reddish-orange feathers that give the bird its name.
Around thirty minutes after the first round, another round was made. This round brought forth a northern cardinal and a brown thrasher.

This surprised looking fellow is a Brown Thrasher. These birds are reddish brown and the adults, like the one above, have yellow eyes. These birds eat acorns, wild fruits, and berries, but they also dine on lots of beetles and caterpillars. Although acorns are a significant part of their diet, the thrashers' beaks are not well adapted to shelling them, so they often dig the acorns into the ground to break them open, just as if they were using a tool!

If you live in North Carolina, you've probably seen a Northern Cardinal before (or twenty!). Northern Cardinals are the state bird of North Carolina and a common permanent resident. These are our only red birds in the Carolinas to have a prominent crest, which are the feathers on the top of its head, like a funky hairstyle. The one captured above is a male, which have brighter, redder feathers than the brownish females. Listen carefully when you see one! They're calls are often found to sound like "pretty-pretty-pretty," which, when you see one, you can't disagree!
These weren't the only birds banded that morning! Make sure to keep your eyes out for Part 2 of Birds at Prairie Ridge, and, as always, keep up with the things happening at Prairie Ridge Ecostation on our Facebook or the Museum's event page.

The blue triangle represents the Mayon Volcano. The Mayon Volcano has always been part of Albay province's landscape. Albay is where Camalig Bank established itself and will always root itself. Mayon is described as majestic, alluring, strong, and omnipresent. Mayon will always be in the backdrop of our Camalig. Mayon complements Camalig in showing a trusting and dependable relationship. Blue is identified with infinite possibilities.
The green triangle represents the "kamalig". A "kamalig" in earlier times was a storehouse for farm produce. It signified ample food supply, most especially in times of hunger and crisis. Green is identified with food or basic needs, and of course, with money.
Both the triangle figures signify stability and protection
The Rainbow is abbreviated into two colors: yellow, representing gold or wealth; and orange, representing a bright future.
The direction of the rainbow is upward signifying a progressive future. This is the general direction the Camalig Bank intends to pursue.

"... It is a question of your collectivity growing in you. That is how you become a person who is collective, who enjoys collective, who works on collective and lives with collective. Such a person develops new kinds of powers and these powers are such that they are very subtle but they penetrate into any molecule, atom or human beings anywhere. And their penetration is only possible if you have a temperament which is collective. Without being fully collective you cannot achieve that height, which is very necessary today for Sahaja Yoga."

The Significance of Detachment when developing as a Sahaja
The Individual Journey of a Sahaja Yogi in the process of
The Manifesting Desire for Collectivity through
Detached as a Sahaja
Detachment is Surrender
... Detachment 'must start expressing' itself in your Realization. Detachment. What is surrendering ? - is nothing, because when you are detached, you are surrendered, automatically. When you are holding on to other things you are not surrendered, that's all.
What is there to surrender to me? I am such a detached person I don't understand all that. What am I to get out of you? - I am so detached. - Nothing. (29.02.1984, India)
The Significance of Detachment
Now there are people who go get attached to someone, to one person, or to the family, to their children, to relations..... That's also not the way you can get to God. That's also so limited; keeps you hanging around them and wasting your energy completely. But if you enter into your being, fully, then all these things have such meaning. Every thing has a meaning then. In the sense, if you possess anything, and if you are that kind of a person who is supposed to be possessive-he's never possessive-he is so detached about it. But he can play around, because he's so detached. He can create a drama out of it. He can play with the possessions, and teach lots of lessons to people. He's so detached, so generous, he enjoys his generosity. The whole thing becomes so different too, so dynamic. All the beauty that is created by human beings as possession is exposed before you. And you start enjoying all those things, without possessing them. You understand the myth of possession. (14.03.1983, Australia)
The Journey of Detachment as a Sahaja Yogi through Meditation
It is an individual journey towards God. When you meditate and when you reach there, then you become collective. Before that its an "absolute individual journey within". It's absolutely individual journey! You should be able to see this; that in this journey nobody is your relation. Nobody is your friend. You are absolutely alone. 'Absolutely alone'. You have to move alone within yourself. Don't hate anyone. Don't be irresponsible, but in meditative mood you are alone. No one exists there. You alone. And once you enter into that ocean then the whole world becomes your whole family. The whole world is your own manifestation. All the children become your children. And you treat all people with equal understanding. The whole expansion takes place when you enter inside 'your' spirit and start seeing through eyes of the spirit. There's such calm, such peace, such bliss within you. You have to be ready for that journey. That journey is alone in your meditativeness. (14.03.1983, Australia)
The Manifestation of Desire for Collectivity through Meditation
And the more you find something in your meditation, the more you want to go and distribute it to others. That has to be. If that does not come into you then it has not worked out; there is no purity; there is some sort of a bias. In that individual pursuit, whatever you find, you want to enjoy it with others, you want to give it to others. This is the sign of the person who has been really meditative. The one, who has been meditative and has not been able to distribute what he has found is cheating himself and cheating others as well. Because that joy that you receive in your meditation has to be distributed. Has to be given. Has to be shown. It should flow in your being as the light radiates from every illumined lamp. You don't have to take a vow to say that this is an enlightened light. In the same way a saint should not have to be certified that he is a saint. The depth you achieve within yourself spreads all over, it is such an action and reaction. The deeper you become, the radiation is much more.
You don't have to spend too much time on meditation. But whatever time you spend, whatever you gain, has to be visible outside --How you radiate and how you give it to others. That's the quality of the saints you have to be. Unless and until you become deeper, we cannot save other Sahaja Yogis. And we cannot save those who are not Sahaja yogis. You have to rise higher and higher to pull the whole curtain up. Those who try to rise higher pull the whole thing upward, and they give a pull to every one who ascend with them. (14.03.1983, Australia)
Detachment as a Sahaja Yogi
So just try to keep your aim clear-cut. You must try to understand what is your aim in life as Sahaja yogis. Now you are changed people. You are no more people who have to deal with possessions, or worry about them, about mundane things, about your livelihoods. You are no more people who have to worry too much about your health and things or your personal lives. You are not to worry, also, about your jobs so much. That's not important. And last of all not to worry about your family, children, husband, wife, and find a pocket for you to hide into it. Because the only thing where you can really hide yourself is the love of God, where you can really get the great, restful, blissful feeling of His complete protection. (14.03.1983, Australia)
The Joy of Song with Montreal Yogis
- ... continued
On a trip to La Belle Province (Quebec) we had the pleasure of visiting our friendly Sahaja Yogis in their homes at south shore Montreal. It was similar to the Sahaja Yoga public programs or weekly classes (although more intimate) in that there was a nice explanation of what is Sahaja Yoga, some of the techniques and Shri Mataji's significance in developing it. After meditating and a workshop in exchanging vibrations came the other interesting part...the yogis broke out the guitar, drums, tambourine and songbooks...this was how they typically ended their weekly sessions with the merriment and joy of songs and bhajans.
The following is an interview with the yogis on this subject continued from Issue 5 of the Sahaja Path and is an excellent representation of the collectivity involved in the gatherings of Sahaja Yoga.
What are Bhajans?
Bhajans are prayers or devotional songs for God or a Deity. It's a way to address the Deity in a singing way...and the nice thing about bhajans is you can do it with people, so instead of being alone you can sing together with people. So it brings more power or desire to the poems.
Bhajans are a great way of expressing your love to the Divine...and the most powerful thing with bhajans is that you can enjoy the collective consciousness, the collective joy...and you can enjoy together with the people where you can feel the oneness while expressing your desire and devotion to the Divine.
Bhajans is the reflections of the power within us which is the divine power...the collective power which reflects outside through music.
Can you tell us more about the idea of a Deity?
Deities are actually the qualities of God...the different qualities. We have 7 main chakras...and there are several Deities. Actually, including the left and right projections of the chakras there are 21 chakras or energy centres. So they each have a different representative, which are called Deities and these are different qualities or powers of God, which is placed in us. So each song is representing a Deity, which means we can strengthen our connection with that Deity...with that power of God...and as we can get deeper in our worship with each Deity we can complete each power of God within us and get stronger.
So one very nice song is one that speaks about the 6 enemies of human beings. It's basically asking the Deities to free us from these 6 enemies (lust, greed, attachment, jealousy, anger, vanity).
My favourite bhajans are Namostute and Hasat Ali. I like Hasat Ali because it talks about the beauty of our Guru, you know how She is so Motherly and how She's so decorated so nicely with Her anklets and everything like that...it's so representative of who Shri Mataji is...and She's this kind Mother, this beautiful Deity that's come who's our Guru in life...so I like that song for that. And I like 'Namostute' because it's our way of thanking Her, our way of bowing to her...we fold our hands and say namostute. Those are my two favourite bhajans.

Apple has several problems to solve that have been discovered by users of new iPhones. First, we learned that the iPhone XS and XS Max have a problem with antennas and the reception of weak LTE and Wi-Fi signals. Now it turns out that some devices have a charging problem. It may happen that the iPhone XS and XS Max in the sleep mode will not recognize the charger connected by the user and will not start the charging process.
For some time now I have been assuming that there is nothing to rush to buy electronic devices as soon as they are released. It is better to wait a few days or weeks and calmly look at the opinions appearing on the web. It seems to me that people, who have done this, have already lost the desire to buy a new iPhone. iPhone XS and XS Max suffer from two very severe nuisances. The first one is connected with the affair around new antennas, which make LTE and Wi-Fi networks run much slower than on older iPhones. So far, Apple has not responded to these reports. It is quite possible that simple solutions in the form of firmware updates or the creation of a case are not enough here. The second problem concerns the charging of sleeping (i.e. with locked screen) iPhones.
The problem of charging the iPhone XS and XS Max may be solved by the firmware update
Experts point out that the new antenna scandal may be related to Apple's choice of antennas with too low gain. Therefore, the solution to this problem may require running an exchange program for problematic iPhones. However, the charging related issue may be caused by a programming error in the firmware. This is manifested in the fact that some of new iPhones do not recognize chargers plugged in when the smartphone has turned off the screen. The overcome of this problem is to tap the screen twice or to press the power button. Then the affected iPhone detect the connected charger and start the charging process. It is quite possible that someone from Apple is already working to solve this problem. We should learn more about this issue when Cupertino engineers will recreate the problem and prepare the appropriate patch.

I had originally intended to feature a different song today but given the very sad news of Etta James' passing on Friday it seems fitting that this week's update should be a tribute to the singer whom we here at Gazfunk rate as the greatest female soul/r&b singer of all time.
In truth, I've been well aware of Ms James' illness for quite a while (as I'm sure some of you have also) and I had up until now purposely avoided featuring her amazing talent here on the blog as I knew the news of her death wasn't too far away and I wanted to do a fitting tribute when that time finally arrived.
Much has been written and said about Etta James over the years, including her well documented addictions, so I won't go into those as I don't want to detract away from why she was so highly thought of – her amazing voice.
So we've decided to bring you 2 tracks this week as opposed to the 1 that we normally bring you. The selections I've made are 2 of her lesser known tracks but still feature her fantastic vocals. First off, we have You Got It which was the b-side of "Fire" and then we finish off with her brilliant take on Sonny & Cher's smash hit – I Got You Babe.
R.I.P. Etta James – gone, but never forgotten.

If you are looking for a present for a young child then the Usborne Book of Nursery Rhymes would make a delightful gift. The book is hardback and comes enclosed in a beautifully illustrated cardboard sleeve depicting various nursery rhymes such as Little Miss Muffet.
Inside the sleeve is a thick paged glossy book full of enchanting pictures. One hundred and eighteen traditional nursery rhymes grace the one hundred and twenty-seven pages of this book with the longer ones such as Oh Dear What Can the Matter be spreading over two pages. Each page has a beautiful illustration bringing the nursery rhyme to life. One of our favourites at home, The Grand Old Duke of York, has a two-page spread with thirty colourful soldiers following The Duke up the hill, it is delightful.
This book would be suitable for very young children for bed time stories or for slightly older children learning to read as the words are lovely and clear. There are also several that can be sung along to such as Sing a Song o' Sixpence & Baa Baa Black sheep for an interactive play session. There are so many classics in the Osbornes Nursery Rhyme book that you will never get bored but some of our number one family choices are Jack and Jill, There Was a Little Girl who had a Little Curl, and Ladybird Ladybird Fly Away Home.
My four-year-old has been captivated by this book and we have had to read several nursery rhymes every day after tea, he enjoys learning the new ones especially ones with actions like, Here is The Church. There are also lots in the book that I had forgotten from my childhood so it was nice to be able to share them with my son.
The Usborne Nursery Rhymes book is a charming book which will delight any child and I highly recommend it for a Christmas or birthday gift.
Rating: 5/5

Of Chetan Bhagat, Twitter And Detractors
Posted by: IRFAN on: August 28, 2013
How difficult or challenging it may be to become Chetan Bhagat? In other words, what it feels like to be Chetan Bhagat. Chetan Bhagat is not new to controversies. Whether controversies love him or he loves them is difficult to say. Those who follow Chetan Bhagat on Twitter, read his articles and books and watch films based on his books know that Chetan Bhagat and controversies are always within kissing distance of each other.
One wrong or politically incorrect word in a tweet can land him in a controversy. This is what seems to have happened today. Nowadays the word 'rape' sends a chill when used in public discourse or in a tweet. Due to two incidents of gang rapes in the recent past, there are those who believe that the use of word 'rape' must be avoided at all costs. And if a celebrity and a Youth Icon like Chetan Bhagat who has lakhs of followers on Twitter ought to think more than twice before using the R word in a tweet that's likely to get hundreds of RTs and Favourites.
While slamming the slide of rupee, he used the R word in a tweet. Unfortunately, the ill-fated tweet stirred up hornet's nest and outrage was so deafening that he had to delete that tweet. This spontaneous outrage over the use of R word in a tweet by a best selling author raises many serious questions.
It is agreed that rape is a beastly crime and the rapist deserves the harshest possible punishment. By committing rape, a rapist violates not only his victim's dignity but her entire existence. Those who follow the current affairs would know that Indian rupee has been falling as if there were no tomorrow. This unabated fall of rupee is raising serious concerns. Economists are worried at this alarming trend and to make the matter worse, there's no trick in sight to arrest the fall of rupee. The ruling class is equally clueless and what we get from the powers that be are false assurances and free advice to remain calm even as the rupee fall continues to break all previous records.
Now if this brazen disregard with which the ruling class is dealing with the falling rupee is not rape of rupee, then what is it? If Chetan Bhagat demands punishment for this continuous rape of rupee, what's the problem? Why should he be subjected to the lectures on the usages of certain words in popular discourse? There's an entire army of self-proclaimed conscience keepers out there against Chetan Bhagat and his use of R word in a tweet. Are they not going overboard in taking him to task?
In spite of incidents of rapes in metros like New Delhi and Mumbai, the Hindi films often portray heroes stalking heroines with a view to wooing them. This is exactly what rapists are supposed to do. They stalk their victims before striking. Why doesn't anybody raise their voice against such scenes in films that glorify stalking? There are songs in which heroes tease heroines and call them by names. This type of behaviour in real life amounts to eve-teasing if emulated on streets. Why don't we ever hear even so much as a whimper of protest against such songs?
Nothing can justify these potshots against Chetan Bhagat. His tweet was subjected to unfair scrutiny, criticism and vilification. It is sad to see that he had to delete that tweet because his detractors were out their with knives to misinterpret it. Another sad thing is he often gets unsolicited advice on English grammar and usage of right words at the right places on public platforms like Twitter.
It must really be extremely tough to be Chetan Bhagat. One wonders how he copes with so much scrutiny and not to mention unfair criticism. But he often comes across as a brave underdog who keeps doing his job no matter what others think and say about him. He doesn't mind getting pilloried. Maybe he knows that what great heights he has achieved both as a popular writer of fiction and a Youth Icon are exactly what not many (read his detractors) can digest. And this is precisely why his path will continue to be infested with thorns.
Poor Chetan Bhagat. He is someone who keeps dodging bullets and yet manages to write best selling novels that get converted into super-hit films and columns that create controversies and debates. As I've often argued on this platform, if Chetan Bhagat's detractors are successful in muting or dumbing down Chetan Bhagat's spontaneity, then Twitter won't be half of as much fun as it is today.
I wish his detractors are forced to eat an humble pie yet another time and Chetan Bhagat comes out smelling of roses this time too.
Robert Vadra The Small Farmer
Posted by: IRFAN on: August 27, 2013

Today is a sad day in the history of our democratic country. Rupee keeps crashing further. Sonia Gandhi took ill but thanks to our super specialists' timely efforts, she returned home hale and hearty. The icing on the cake was the revelation that Robert Vadra the first son-in-law of our country is merely a small farmer. Not only India but the entire world is in shock at this revelation.
Robert Vadra has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons. There are many who believe that Robert Vadra has made a lot of wealth and his personal net worth has sky rocketed ever since UPA's reign at the Centre. So many op-eds have come out speculating his personal net worth and its mysterious sources.
But today mother of all revelations has proved in a single stroke that Robert Vadra is a poor victim of malicious campaign against him. He is a thorough and thorough gentleman who works as a small farmer somewhere back in the beyond. His personal net worth has always remained a big zero. On the other hand, like any other small farmer of this country even he has a debt of several thousand rupees on him. It is said that to pay off that small debt he approached several banks without revealing his famous mother-in-law and brother-in-law's names. Obviously, the banks have turned out his request for loans. And as a result, poor Robert Vadra aka small farmer is forced to live in penury.
This is not some propaganda on the eve of general election. Nor this revelation is a ploy to repair ruling party's both image and credibility. But the small farmer act of Robert Vadra is a hard hitting fact in the face of those who were projecting him as a multi millionaire son-in-law who was out to grab everything. As the news of Robert Vadra's real vocation spread like a wildfire, the self proclaimed political analysts and so-called sources close to the first family were out there to enlighten anyone who cared to listen how this could benefit Congress party.
All said and done, if Robert Vadra is living like a small farmer with his in-laws running the country, it speaks volumes about their ruling capabilities. There are some former ministers who held important portfolios a few months back and who have successfully eradicated poverty from its very root. They are in a comfortable position. Their near and dear ones are also able to secure their livelihoods and there's no immediate threat to their well heeled future. If the ministers could do this, why couldn't the rulers themselves? This is really puzzling.
The well-wishers of Dynasty are in a terrible shock. They want the first son-in-law to be in a comfortable position. Instead of working in the field under the harsh sun rays, what they would like to see is Robert Vadra sporting imported goggles, posing for glossy magazines in tight fitting, muscle rippling t-shirts next to imported cars and bikes.
Who would like to see the only son-in-law in tattered dhoti and torn vest standing next to buffaloes and cows wiping mud from his unshaven face?
As a sycophant of the ruling Dynasty, I hope that the Republic of India will be spared those devastating images (if there are any).
Parvez Rasool : A Victim of Politics?
Posted by: IRFAN on: August 4, 2013
The Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Mr. Omar Abdullah is a passionate cricket lover these days. He's following the national side's selection process quite closely nowadays. Today he went one step further. He aired his opinion on Twitter as to who should be picked up and dropped from the playing eleven.
Needless to say this unsolicited advice has obviously not gone down well with many cricket fans and he has drawn a lot of flak. The question is why is cricket Mr. Omar Abdullah's new found love? Why this sudden interest in cricket and the functioning of national side?
Well, the answer is for the ongoing India-Zimbabwe series, the national selectors have picked a promising cricketer Parvez Rasool who hails from Jammu & Kashmir. And as it turns out, Mr. Omar Abdullah is very keen on Parvez Rasool making his debut in the ongoing series against Zimbabwe.
Though Parvez Rasool is with the Indian cricket team right now, he's yet to get a game. He's warming the benches. And according to Mr. Omar Abdullah, this could be demoralising for Parvez Rasool. He blamed BCCI for this on his Twitter page. He went on to say that if BCCI wanted to do this, why did it send Parvez Rasool all the way to Zimbabwe. It could have demoralised him here in India.
Nobody knows whether BCCI wants to demoralise Parvez Rasool or make him a cricketing hero. Why Mr. Omar Abdullah is taking a dig at BCCI is confusing all cricket lovers who had never expected a CM to speak on behalf of a player from his state selected to play for the country. This is as strange as it can get.
This pressure tactic from Mr. Omar Abdullah has left genuine cricket lovers fuming and frothing at their mouths. This happens in cricket. Many cricketers get selected for a particular series or tournament. But they don't get chance to play and make their debut in that series or tournament because the captain and the coach don't want to tinker with the winning combination.
But it doesn't mean that they are always denied a chance. Later on, when they do get a chance, they make the most of it. As a result, they end up becoming an integral part of the national side and go on to play for the country for years together.
What's the big deal?
What's the fuss all about?
What prompted Mr. Omar Abdullah to jump the gun and slam BCCI? Should politics and sports be mixed? The national selectors have found Parvez Rasool to be a talented player. This is why they've selected him. Let's assume that he doesn't get a game in the ongoing series. After returning, he continues to perform at domestic level. Selectors will certainly give him another chance.
When the national captain and the coach place their trust in Parvez Rasool, he will make the most of it and leave no stones unturned to create a lasting impression. But unfortunately, CM Mr. Omar Abdullah's over-enthusiasm has created an unnecessary controversy and opened a whole new debate.
Why should politicians interfere in the affairs of Cricket? Selectors pick up a formidable national side and hand it over to the captain and the coach. If the politicians start putting pressure on the captain to include players from their respective states in the playing eleven, nothing can be more damaging for the spirit of the game.
What's even more surprising is Mr. Omar Abdullah is worried that this warming the bench would demoralise Parvez Rasool. But he is not bothered what kind of demoralisation his tweet would cause to the captain, his team members and BCCI.
Will BCCI ignore this diatribe and nurture Parvez Rasool's talent for future? Or has Mr. Omar Abdullah's ill-fated tweet ended the career of a promising player like Parvez Rasool even before it kicked off? Only time will tell.

Christmas may now be a fading memory, but that doesn"t mean that the festivities need to end (nor indeed the indulgences). For Scots and lovers of poetry or parties, Burns Night holds a special place in the heart. With haggis, neeps and tatties on the table and plenty of whisky in the belly, it"s a time to celebrate one of Scotland"s favourite sons alongside friends and family.
So whether you"ve enjoyed many a toast to Rabbie Burns in the past or you"re preparing your first, here"s a quick guide to creating the perfect evening.
The Meal
At the centre of any Burns Night is the meal. Traditionally, this consists of haggis, which is essentially a spiced sack of offal, tatties (potatoes) and neeps (swede – or turnip depending on interpretation); all of which combine to create a simple, yet delicious feast.
Now, how you choose to prepare and serve your Burns supper is entirely up to you. There are a whole host of ways in which you can cook everything; from the haggis to the tatties, you can have a lot of fun with various flavour combinations and new additions. While traditionalists may gasp in horror at the idea of a haggis stuffed chicken breast, wrapped in thin strips of bacon or ham, feel free to experiment – particularly if your attendees aren"t too enamoured by the conventional alternative.
In days gone by, the haggis would be contained within the lining of a sheep"s stomach. This would hold it all together when boiled over a period of hours. For various reasons, this is rarely used now; however the basic ingredients remain much the same, with the sheep offal being combined with spices, oatmeal and seasoning. It would be fair to say that this isn"t to everybody"s taste, which is why some choose to use it as a smaller part of a more contemporary dish – such as that described previously.
Now there are a fair few traditions, superstitions and quirks associated with the feast of Robert Burns. One thing that every party needs though is an eloquent speaker to perform the Address to a Haggis. This original piece of Burns prose provides the perfect link between the history and modernity of the supper. It dates back to 1786 and has been uttered by Scots on January 25th ever since.
Indeed there is a whole for a full Burns celebration, although most smaller groups will tend to do a slightly abridged version. For instance, you may not fancy the full feast, with cock-a-leekie and clootie pudding, while a couple of the speeches may also be left out – such as the Selkirk Grace. Some pour whisky on the haggis, others think that is simply a waste of good scotch; the important thing is that it"s your event, so make it personal.
The Drink
As you will no doubt have detected, whisky is the tipple of choice for many who attend a Burns supper. As the national drink of Scotland, it"s a fitting accompaniment to a patriotically-themed celebration. There are many variations of scotch, with each distillery creating a unique and distinctive taste.
A great deal depends on where the whisky is produced; while lowland varieties tend to be smoother, alternatives from coastal areas of Islay and Speyside often have a peaty or smoky taste. Ardbeg or Laphroaig would be two good examples of strong, island whisky. They"re not for the faint of heart, but if you like a more mature taste, they"ll certainly help to wash down the haggis.
Without going into the particulars too much, the taste of a whisky is dependent on a number of factors. Firstly there is the barrel it is matured in. All scotches are produced in used wooden casks, often previously used to store port, sherry or bourbon. This helps to provide the colour, as well as developing the aroma. The surrounding environment also plays a huge part in this developmental process, with the barrels absorbing elements from the atmosphere around them. This is why island varieties have that distinctive, rich almost salty taste to them.
Of course, you don"t have to drink Whisky or even alcohol for that matter. A Burns Supper should be enjoyable for all, so find alternatives if your guests aren"t big fans of single malts. Maybe Irn-Bru for the kids or one of the many fantastic Scottish ales for adults who prefer a more sedate accompaniment to their meal.
The Entertainment
We can"t all call on a piper or enjoy a full ceilidh dance, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy a little Scottish-themed entertainment. Now we don"t want to sink to basic stereotypes or clichés, so whether you"re choosing a few albums or setting up a quiz, choose something that you and your guests will enjoy. Remember, a Burns Supper is a celebration, not a day full of rigid traditions and pageantry. Get creative and try something new; maybe you want to try a few party games or sample a wide range of whiskies, it"s your night.
Remember, if things do get a little messy when you"re preparing your Burns Supper, you can always book in an oven valet with Ovenu to get things spruced up again. Whether caused by your neeps and tatties or a post-Christmas build-up, it"s always important to keep your kitchen nice and clean.

I am sure, like me, that you are pretty close, but you are human after all and we do have our limits. On Mother's Day will you get a nice card, maybe even a present? What is it that you really need, a rest or perhaps a break? Would you like a holiday from the hardest job in the world? Chance would be a fine thing I hear you say.
It's really important that we get some balance, but as we all know it is very difficult. Why is it so difficult? Well when we start to work things out in our heads, as to what we need to do, when and how; somewhere in all of this our needs get missed and so we are left till last.
What are these messages, and where do they come from, or even WHO do they come from? What are the messages that you hear when you DARE to put yourself first and challenge these thoughts or messages?
Do you recognize the messages or things you are saying in your head, do they remind you of anyone or anything? Why or who says you are not important now, that you don't come first, is it your job to keep everyone else happy?
Do you need to listen to these messages and take them on board? Well as they are part of your life script and they have served you in certain situations you will find it easy to listen to them but can you challenge them? Now here's the good news…YES you can! It's through challenging these types of internal messages, that you will develop more confidence in your own 'adult' ability and this will increase your self-esteem and ultimately that of your children too, now how is that for multi-tasking!
Below are some pointers and tips on how to tackle these thoughts:
Remember if you don't look after yourself, you are not truly present with your kids anyway! There is a reason on an inflight video that they say, put your oxygen mask on before your child.
Rather than just listening to those internal messages, challenge them and try to work out where they came from! You will have developed these from a young age and now is the time to ask yourself "Do I still need to listen to these now I am an adult?" Rationalise them and throw them out.
Communicate with your children. If you are feeling tired, emotional or drained, tell them and explain why you have withdrawn, this way they know you are still there for them but just taking time out for yourself. This shows them a really valuable lesson, people need space and time to 'be', so some really valuable modeling! If you try and pretend you are fine they will sense it and react accordingly, possibly trying their best to wind you up and stop you from withdrawing, as negative attention is better than no attention.
Ensure you use the support you have from family or friends, they are only human too and so will understand your needs, if they don't tell them and help them understand rather than feeling frustrated with their lack of support!
It's natural from the minute that we are born (if not before) for us to need connection and support from others. So when should we start trying to survive alone, doing everything for ourselves? The answer is NEVER!

Dean Harris, aka Coki is arguably one of the biggest artists of the dubstep movement.
If there is a producer that exemplifies the raw and aggressive side of dubstep, it is Coki. Either solo or as part of Digital Mystikz, he has been destroying dancefloors and releasing game changing records for over a decade, long ago solidifying his role as a founding father of dubstep. Coki's sound was rooted in the melting pot of early 2000s London – jungle, garage and dub. Owning a unique musical style, which has always captivated and baffled his fans in equal measure, he has used the last few years developing and expanding into new areas.
The next step in this journey comes in the form of "Heights", a joint EP with long-time friend and collaborator Trixx released on his imprint Kudos Records. It is no secret that Coki lists reggae, dance-hall and early dub as his biggest influences, however over the 7 tracks which make up the Heights EP they are delved into even deeper than ever before. The heavy usage of dub basslines and horns is apparent in the EP with its modulated synth lines, murky bass and intersecting horn riffs.
"Elevate" is an example of Coki's exploration of the dub and reggae sounds which were instrumental in the creation of dubstep. Elevate delivers the heavier Coki sound many are accustomed to and it will send you into 'straight into the feels' mode , and will no doubt be responsible for many rewinds in the rowdiest of sets.
Heights EP is a testament to Coki's musicality and delivers what all those waiting for the collaboration between him and Trixx so desired.

Tip-toeing. This is how Andrea Barzagli leaves the field. One of the strongest defenders in the history of Italian football has decided to hang up his boots, and his goodbye not only moves those of the Bianconeri fans, but all lovers of a sport interpreted with increasingly precious values: passion, dedication, attachment, and education.
During the winter of the 2010/11 season, when his appointment was announced, the Juventus fans weren't even aware that they would be welcoming a legend. Yet it was one of the heroes of the 2006 World Cup - already a U21 European Champion in 2004, and a winner of an absolutely historic Bundesliga campaign with Wolfsburg in 2008/09 – who crossed through the gates of Vinovo.
But, perhaps, not even Andrea was fully aware of what was about to happen to him.
Finally, even in Italy, he could perform in in a team worthy a World Cup winner, it would be a meeting that would change his life forever, not only on the field, and he himself admitted it a few years later: "The summer in which we won the first title, whilst on holiday I only thought about winning the second. I had a hunger in me that was never there before. Before, I had a mediocre mentality and therefore I was a mediocre player. Not sure what happened at Juventus, but my mentality transformed. I am not sure how, but nobody will ever change it again."
Sharing a unique environment and with unrepeatable companions certainly contributed to Barzagli's winning transformation. Amongst this, a defensive line that was deserving of an acronym: the iconic BBC, Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini, where there was, of course, another B alongside them: Gianluigi Buffon.
It's a department that has filled the history of the Club with pages of unforgettable moments. In addition, Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini, are the only players to win eight Scudetti in a row. For them, it has been record after record, and one that has always had the best defence in the league.
The Bianconeri republic took very little time to become attached to the champion as much as the man; a true, silent and precious leader of a dressing room overflowing with personality.

Nearly $10 million collected through tax amnesty program, deadline June 19
Budget bureau Director Lester Carlson said those who owe past-due taxes and qualify for amnesty should prepare. Pacific Daily News
Since the tax amnesty program began May 7 the government of Guam has collected $9.6 millionas of Tuesday, Department of Revenue and Taxation Deputy Director Marie Benito said.
The amnesty, which waives interest on penalties on delinquent taxes from 2016 and earlier, is intended to boost government revenue collections to help make up for revenue losses related to federal tax cuts. It requires a down payment of late least 10 percent, with the balance of taxes to be paid by Aug. 6.

The amnesty program application period ends on June 19 and Benito encourages taxpayers who can avail of the program to apply.
Total taxes due from applicants is $16M
Benito said the total taxes due from the 910 applicants who filed as of Tuesday is $16.2 million.
Benito said some taxpayers have completed the process by paying off all their taxes.
The $9.6 million in collections includes those who paid their taxes in full and those who just paid the minimum 10 percent requirement, she said.
The application period was supposed to end by May 29, but taxpayers asked for more time.
Estimated $20M would be collected
Benito said many people who have applied are grateful for the program. She said some taxpayers can get so far behind in their tax debt they become afraid, so the program provides a big relief.
"It's great for our people. It's a good thing," she said.
Senators and Rev and Tax had estimated that about $20 million would be collected under the tax amnesty program, which is how much was collected during the last time the program was offered, in 2007.

News of banking crisis greatly exaggerated
S'pore banking system resilient, banks have strong deposit base, are transparent about exposures
The news out of the banking sector has not been good of late - wage cuts, retrenchments, shuttering of certain businesses, falling share prices.
One shocker of a recent headline even had a Swiss fund manager predict that a massive banking crisis would hit Singapore's shores.
The gloomy news flow comes amid a backdrop of plunging oil prices, a slowing Chinese economy and turbulent financial markets. These have triggered restructuring exercises involving thousands of worldwide job cuts and billions of dollars of capital-raising at global banks.
Indeed it is fair for anyone to wonder whether Singapore's banking sector is in real trouble.
In its latest Financial Stability Review released in November last year, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) warned that pockets of risks are emerging amid slowing growth and rising interest rates.
"The credit cycle has begun to turn, with external and domestic loan growth moderating alongside slowing economic growth," the MAS said. "This poses risks to Singapore's banking system. Asset quality remains healthy, but there are signs of increased credit risks, for example, a slight uptick in non-performing and special mention loans."
Furthermore, the MAS added, corporate earnings in Singapore have weakened over the past year amid an uncertain operating environment. While corporate balance sheets remain healthy overall, highly leveraged firms in certain sectors could be vulnerable if interest rates rise or earnings weaken further. Firms with foreign currency exposures could also face increased foreign currency mismatch risks should currency market volatility persist.
The latest fourth-quarter financial results of the three local banks - DBS Group, United Overseas Bank and OCBC Bank - show that the sharp fall in oil prices has already had an impact. OCBC, for example, said its non-performing loans (NPLs) rose 54 per cent to $1.97 billion last year, with all net new NPLs coming from oil and gas customers. Chief executive Samuel Tsien added at a results briefing last week that about 47 per cent of the bank's $12.4 billion oil and gas portfolio is under stress.
UOB's non-performing loans rose 22 per cent to $2.9 billion as of December, with the transport, storage and communications sector recording the highest amount of non-performing loans at $977 million. Oil and gas loans are classified under this category,
The banks acknowledged that if oil prices stay low for much longer, their loan books will feel even more pain. DBS chief executive Piyush Gupta, for example, said that if oil prices stayed at US$20 for the next two years, its oil and gas loans will come under stress, and that the bank would have to write off $150 million to $200 million.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, Singapore's three lenders have ramped up their regional presence, making them that much more exposed to external headwinds. Major downturns in markets where they are active, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, whose economies have been affected by slumping commodity prices and slowing trade with China, will put more pressure on their loan books. The slowing of the Chinese economy could also affect the banks' loans to clients there.
So far, there has not been much damage yet. At DBS and OCBC, China NPL ratios are lower than their overall ratios, and all three say that bad debts in Greater China will likely be manageable as most of their exposure in the market is to state-owned enterprises and top-tier banks.
That might come as cold comfort to those who read the dire warning from Swiss hedge fund manager Felix Zulauf that the Chinese economy will suffer a hard landing, triggering a banking crisis here. Singapore's banking sector has attracted a high volume of foreign capital over the years, but this capital will rush out if the Chinese economy slows sharply, he said.
But while bankers and analysts here acknowledge there are risks, they are sceptical things could get that bad. Speaking at DBS' results briefing on Monday, Mr Gupta said the banking sector is not facing a crisis like the kind that ensued after investment banking giant Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008.
"Not withstanding what you might hear from hedge fund managers from Switzerland, Singapore is not a basket case." After all, he noted, Singapore is one of few economies in the world with the top sovereign credit rating from all three ratings agencies, it continues to hold massive amounts of foreign currency reserves and it has maintained a current account surplus for the past decade.
This current account surplus means that Singapore has long been a capital exporter anyway, noted Bank of America Merrill Lynch economist Chua Hak Bin, so capital outflows are nothing new. "Capital is flowing out to be invested overseas, by Temasek Holdings, GIC and also individuals. There's always capital outflow, which is a function of Singapore's high savings."
Deloitte South-east Asia financial services industry leader, Mr Ho Kok Yong, noted that banks here maintain capital ratios well above the levels required by the Basel III global capital standards. "This, coupled with our robust regulatory framework and strong macro-prudential measures, definitely helps to minimise risks arising from the headwinds to come," he added.
Although the local banks warned that worsening economic conditions will likely cause further deterioration in asset quality, they also showcased strong balance sheets, cushioned by thick capital bases.
What is also reassuring is that they have been open and transparent about how vulnerable their portfolios are. All three, for example, revealed their loan exposures to the oil and gas industry.
Analysts remain relatively upbeat about the outlook for the banks. Moody's Investors Service analyst Eugene Tarzimanov said: "Some balance sheet metrics , like asset quality and profitability, will see some deterioration this year, but those are just two pillars of banking. We expect stability in the other pillars - capital, funding and liquidity. So even if you have NPLs going up and profitability going down, you have to take into context the broader strength that Singapore's banks have."
That stability in funding and liquidity comes from the strong deposit bases that the three local lenders enjoy domestically, Mr Tarzimanov added.
Another factor working in favour of Singapore's three local lenders is the fact that they have fewer legacy issues to resolve, unlike many big global players.
Many of these international banks expanded rapidly into emerging markets such as Asia and the Middle East over the past decade, only to find that they have over-extended themselves, and now have to make major cutbacks as business conditions have dramatically worsened. Standard Chartered said in November it would axe 15,000 jobs and raise US$5.1 billion (S$7 billion) after posting a shock quarterly loss.
Barclays last month shut its securities operations across Asia. Deutsche Bank unveiled in October a plan to exit from 10 countries and cut 9,000 jobs as part of a sweeping overhaul.
The list goes on.
Inevitably, these strategic clean-ups have affected the Singapore operations of such banks and will likely continue to do so.
Foreign banks operating here depend more on funding from financial markets and from their parents in Europe or the United States than on local deposits. If markets are volatile, as they have been for several months now, or if their headquarters are tightening their belts, that could mean tighter liquidity and funding conditions for the Singapore operations of foreign banks.
As gloomy as that all sounds, the situation is not catastrophic for Singapore.
"We should not overstretch the extent of the problem. Foreign banks such as HSBC, Citi and Standard Chartered, are part of global banking groups. Even if they are scaling down, they still see Singapore as a core market and we don't think they would retract materially from Singapore," said Mr Tarzimanov of Moody's.
The MAS' own assessment is that "Singapore's banking system remains resilient amid an uncertain external environment". Banks have strong capital and liquidity buffers to withstand severe shocks but "continued vigilance is warranted", it said in its Financial Stability Review.
Most households and companies will still be able to service their debt payments even as interest rates climb or corporate earnings decline, it added.
No doubt, there is little to cheer about in the global economy and the end of the tunnel is still miles away. For banks - and their corporate clients across most industries - things will get worse from here.
If it's any consolation, the deterioration will not happen all at once, and the local banks are facing the headwinds to come from a position of relative strength.
It is not time to panic just yet, but it is a good time to start paying closer attention to banks' financial results.
