Designed by Paul @ Yellow Jersey Design, Atomic Agency provided the technical know how to convert this stunning design into a custom WordPress website.
For the first time we got to use CSS Grid on a website layout. The customer wanted to be able to choose a unique layout for each of the content pages so the site looked fresh and not repetitive, avoiding flat columns like most masonry grids.
The customer also specified that they didn't want to have to learn a new system or program to achieve the look as they are a busy business.
We made it very easy for the customer by coding 5 different grid layouts and providing a simple "select layout option" from the WordPress admin page. The customer only needs to add the images and text to complete a page quickly.
Each of the grid layouts demonstrated below.
Added to the complication of the unique grid areas, the customer wanted to display information about each content section without trashing the images with text, so we created some custom flip boxes to solve the problem.
You will see a demonstration of this in the video below.
The website is also responsive so it looks amazing regardless of the device it's being viewed from.

1539 – Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto and his army enter the Apalachee capital of Anhaica (present-day Tallahassee, Florida) by force. The Apalachee were a Native American people who historically lived in the Florida Panhandle. The Apalachee occupied the site of Velda Mound starting about 1450 CE, but had mostly abandoned it before the Spanish started settlements in the 17th century. They first encountered Spanish explorers in the 16th century, when the Hernando de Soto expedition arrived. They lived between the Aucilla River and Ochlockonee River, at the head of Apalachee Bay, an area known to Europeans as the Apalachee Province. They spoke a Muskogean language called Apalachee now extinct.
1683 – German Quaker and Mennonite families found Germantown in the colony of Pennsylvania, marking the first major immigration of German people to America. Germantown is an area in Northwest Philadelphia. Founded as an independent borough, it was absorbed into Philadelphia in 1854. The area, which is about six miles northwest from the city center, now consists of two neighborhoods: 'Germantown' and 'East Germantown'. Germantown has played a significant role in American history; it was the birthplace of the American antislavery movement, the site of a Revolutionary War battle, the temporary residence of George Washington, the location of the first bank of the United States, and the residence of many notable politicians, scholars, artists, and social activists.
1777 – General Sir Henry Clinton leads British forces in the capture of Continental Army Hudson River defenses in the Battle of Forts Clinton and Montgomery. The battle was fought in the highlands of the Hudson River valley, not far from West Point. British forces under the command of General Sir Henry Clinton captured Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery, and then dismantled the Hudson River Chain. The purpose of the attack was to create a diversion to draw American troops from the army of General Horatio Gates, whose army was opposing British General John Burgoyne's attempt to gain control of the Hudson. The forts were garrisoned by about 600 Continental Army troops under the command of two brothers, General (and Governor of New York) George Clinton, and General James Clinton, while General Israel Putnam led additional troops at nearby Peekskill, New York. (This battle is also sometimes called the "battle of the Clintons" due to the number of participants with that name. The brothers were probably not related to Sir Henry.) Using a series of feints, Sir Henry fooled Putnam into withdrawing most of his troops to the east, and then he landed over 2,000 troops on the west side of the Hudson to assault the two forts. After several hours of hiking through the hilly terrain, Sir Henry divided his troops to stage simultaneous assaults on the two forts. Although the approach to Fort Montgomery was contested by a company armed with a small field piece, they attacked the two forts at nearly the same time and captured them after a relatively short battle. More than half the defenders were killed, wounded, or captured. The British followed up this success with raids as far north as Kingston before being recalled to New York City. The action came too late to be of any assistance to Burgoyne, who surrendered his army on October 17. The only notable consequences of the action were the casualties suffered and the British destruction of the two forts on their departure.
1781 – Americans and French began the siege of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the last battle of Revolutionary War. They began digging the first parallel trenches, a distance of 500 to 600 yards from the enemy's works. A French wagon train arrived at the siege site.
1858 – US Marines conduct the Battle of Waya in the Fiji Islands.
1861 – U.S.S. Flag, Commander Louis C. Sartori, captured Confederate blockade running schooner Alert near Charleston.
1884 – Department of the Navy establishes the Naval War College at Newport, RI. Secretary of the Navy William E. Chandler signed General Order 325, which began by simply stating: "A college is hereby established for an advanced course of professional study for naval officers, to be known as the Naval War College." The order went on to assign "the principal building on Coaster's Harbor Island, Newport, R.I."—the Newport Asylum for the Poor, built in 1820—to its use and "Commodore Stephen B. Luce . . . to duty as president of the college." Such were the humble beginnings of what is now the oldest continuing institution of its kind in the world.
1918 – The German chancellor, Prince Max of Baden, contacts US President Woodrow Wilson and requests and armistice based on Wilson's 14 Points outlined the previous January. It is made clear that there will be no negotiations until the removal of the country's military leadership.
1924 – Marines from the gunboat Asheville landed in Shanghai and withdrew on October 24th. Landings by Marines continued at ports Shanghai, Tientsin, and Chinwangtao from forces of the Asiatic Fleet of ships stationed in those waters until the arrival of the 4th Marine regiment in 1927 for permanent shore based duty.
1939 – In an address to the Reichstag, Adolf Hitler denied having any intention of war against France and Britain.
1940 – Fourth group of 8 U.S. destroyers involved in Destroyers for Bases Deal are turned over to British authorities at Halifax, Canada.
1942 – An additional Lend -lease agreement is signed in Washington by representatives of the USA and the USSR. Between this date and July 1943 it is planned to deliver 4,400,000 tons of supplies to the Soviet Uniion, 75 percent by sea, the rest though Iran.
1942 – In New Guinea, the 32nd Division begins movement along the Kapa Kapa Trail.
1943 – In night Battle of Vella Lavella, 3 U.S. destroyers attack 9 Japanese destroyers to stop evacuation of Japanese troops from Vella Lavella, Solomon Islands. The Eighth Fleet assigned Rear Admiral Baron Matsuji Ijuin to this mission and gave him a force completely out of proportion to the 589 troops he was charged to rescue: a support group of six destroyers and two transport groups, one of three transport destroyers and the other of four subchasers and twenty barges. His destroyers departed Rabaul on the morning of the 6th while the barges sailed from Buin at 1653 that afternoon. The Japanese movement down the Slot was reported, but Admiral Wilkinson only had three destroyers available to intercept, Squadron 4 led by Captain Frank Walker. Admiral Wilkinson mustered these while he detached another group of three under Captain Harold Larson from convoy duty. The two squadrons were ordered to rendezvous off Marquana Bay, Vella Lavella Island. Walker's group sailing around the north side of the island while Larson's approached up the west coast from the south. Japanese aircraft detected Walker's approach at around 1940 and marked his progress with flares and floatlights. Ijuin split his support group into two divisions. With four ships he pushed ahead to the waters off Marquana Bay while Captain Hara, with Shigure and Samidare and the three transport destroyers, tarried to meet the barges coming up from Buin at 9 knots. Ijuin knew the Allies had wind of his approach and hoped to confuse them as to his size and dispositions. He was also hoping to set Hara up to make a surprise flank attack. At about 2200 Ijuin received a report from one of his aircraft that he was facing four cruisers and three destroyers, according to Hara's account of the battle. Morison has the report as one cruiser and four destroyers. Hara explains his old commander's conduct of this battle with this sighting report and the fact he was exhausted from sustained duty. The Japanese had come to respect radar controlled gunfire, particularly as delivered by the Brooklyn class light cruisers, "a cruiser packs ten times the firepower of a destroyer and Ijuin must have been thinking of this". Morison treats Ijuin sarcastically (he was a baron and the son of a prominent admiral during the Russo-Japanese War): "Was Ijuin following his habit of fleeing, even when lightly opposed?" At 2210 Ijuin ordered Hara to join him as quickly as possible. The three transport destroyers, Fumizuki, Matsukaze and Yunagi turned back, although the barges continued toward Horaniu. At 2229 Ijuin turned his four destroyers from a westerly heading to the northwest. At 2230 Isokaze reported the first visual sighting of the American force. Captain Walker, leading Selfridge, Chevalier and O'Bannon got radar readings on a Japanese force 10 miles north, northeast just after the Japanese made visual contact. This was apparently the retiring transport group. Larson's group, Ralph Talbot, Taylor and LaVallette were still some twenty miles south and Walker could not raise them on TBS. Although Wilkinson had advised him the Japanese force consisted of nine destroyers, Walker elected to pile in and engage rather than wait forty minutes for reinforcements. At 2235 Ijuin turned east and then southeast. The barges were steaming southwest about 20 miles from their destination. Hara's group was northwest of Ijuin, heading south. He could not see Ijuin's column so he requested that Isokaze hang a blue light on her stern. There was a quarter moon low in the sky and scattered mist and squalls made visibility uncertain. At 2240 Ijuin was heading south-southwest. Hara had closed to within five miles of Ijuin. At this same time Walker was shaping a course directly toward the Japanese. Their respective courses would take the Japanese across the American T. However, Ijuin, thinking to make a torpedo attack, miscalculated the distance. When he discovered the Americans were further off then he thought, he ordered a simultaneous turn 45 degrees to port at 2245. Three minutes later, his ships executed a 90 degree turn to port to a southeastly heading, all this to close range. The Americans were less than 12,000 yards away at this point and the range was closing rapidly at 1,300 yards a minute. In response to Ijuin's turn left, Walker turned his column right to the west. These complicated maneuvers erased Ijuin's initial advantage and in fact placed his four ships in a difficult position. They were sailing parallel in echelon with Akigumo furthest ahead and most distant from the Americans, followed by Isokaze, Kazagumo and finally Yugumo, only 3,300 yards from Selfridge. At 2255 as they passed, the three American destroyers launched 14 torpedoes. At 2256 they opened fire. When Walker commenced fire only Yugumo could reply as she was masking her comrades from the enemy. She turned toward the Americans at 2255 and had eight torpedoes in the water a minute after the Americans launched theirs. Her movement cleared Kazagumo's line of fire so she opened up with her guns shortly after. Ijuin swung his ships back into column and headed south, away from the action. All but Yugumo. She, being nearest to the Americans, was punished by the combined fire of eighteen 5″ guns. At least five hits left her drifting, without rudder control. But she obtained her revenge at 2301 when one of her torpedoes struck Chevalier and exploded her forward magazine, ripping off her bow all the way aft to her bridge. Two minutes latter, O'Bannon, charging through the smoke lingering from her gunnery, collided with Chevalier. The two ships were locked together until O'Bannon was able to back clear. She was fortunate that Ijuin had turned away, but the damage she sustained was enough to remove her from the action. At 2303, just as this was happening, one of the slower American torpedoes struck Yugumo and finished her off. She sank seven minutes later. While Yugumo was being picked off and Ijuin was tearing south, Shigure and Samidare continued on their southwesterly course past the Americans until 2259 when they turned sharply to the northwest. Hara was maneuvering for a good torpedo solution. He was approximately 11,000 yards west of Walker's lead ship when Selfridge, now a one ship task force, shifted fire to Shigure. The time was 2304. However, both Shigure and Samidare had already emptied their tubes in the direction of Selfridge some three minutes before just after they made their turn. As the Japanese torpedo men struggled to reload for a second attack, Selfridge's shells began straddling Shigure. At 2306.5, before Selfridge could damage her target, the battle effectively ended when one of the torpedoes fired six minutes before exploded against Selfridge's port side and left her dead in the water. Larson's group charging up from the south was still twenty minutes out. Shortly before 2313 aircraft advised Ijuin of this reinforcement. Believing he would be facing more cruisers, Ijuin turned his column away to the northwest. At 2317 his ships fired a parting torpedo salvo from 24 tubes at the two crippled American destroyers 16,000 yards to the northeast, but none found targets. Hara who had been sailing northwest since 2259 fell in behind Ijuin; they collected the destroyer transports which had been lingering off Shortlands and returned to Rabaul.

1949 – American-born Iva Toguri D'Aquino, convicted of being Japanese wartime broadcaster Tokyo Rose, was sentenced in San Francisco to 10 years in prison and fined $10,000. Iva Toguri was an American stranded in Japan at the outbreak of World War II. She was forced to broadcast propaganda to the Allied troops for Japan. In these radio programs, she taunted the troops and played music from home. She took the name Orphan Ann on the program, Zero Hour. "Tokyo Rose" is a myth: Iva Toguri, like other women who also broadcast Japanese propaganda to Allied troops, was never referred to as Rose or Tokyo Rose. It was a name given by the Allies to the various female Japanese broadcasters. But it has been used since the war primarily to refer to Iva Toguri D'Aquino. After the war, she was convicted of treason and imprisoned, released early for good behavior. She maintained her innocence, asserting that she had not said the words used to convict her, and that she had remained a loyal American. Though forced to broadcast to the troops, she claimed that she, with the help of American POWs assigned to the radio broadcasts, made herself and her words purposefully ridiculous. She had refused to give up her American citizenship, despite pressure and even punishment from the Japanese who forced her into the broadcasting role. In the 1970s a public campaign brought to light the testimony of the POWs who worked with her and supported her story. The testimony of the witnesses against her was questioned. Eventually she was pardoned by President Gerald Ford. After her imprisonment she returned to Chicago where her family owned a store. She continued to work at the store into her eighties.

In April 1964, during her second Mediterranean deployment, she joined USS LONG BEACH (CGN 9) for the first time and later in May, along with USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65), formed the world's first nuclear powered task group, Task Group 60.1. She entered dry dock at Mare Island Shipyard in August 1967 for her first refueling. In 1974 she began a 27 month shipyard modernization and overhaul in Bremerton, Wash. While in the shipyard, her 3″ .50 caliber guns were removed and replaced with 20mm cannons, she received the AN/SPS-48 radar, and the Naval Tactical Data System was installed. Additionally, the aft superstructure was constructed and an additional level was added on the forward superstructure to support the SLQ-32. On June 30, 1975, BAINBRIDGE was redesignated a cruiser during the Navy's reorganization of ship designations; DLGN 25 became CGN 25.

After three years of bloody conflict that saw three million people dead, the two neighboring countries, North and South Korea, entered into an armistice in 1953 agreeing to end all hostilities of the Korean War but never quite agreeing to peace. As a result, the border between the two countries is still one of the most heavily armed regions in the world enclosed by barbed wire fences and dotted by land mines, and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
As part of the armistice signed, a 4-kilometer strip of buffer zone called the DMZ or the Korean Demilitarized Zone, stretching the entire 250-kilometer-long border was created separating the two countries. Both nations were required to evacuate their part of the DMZ of all civilian settlements, except one that each nation was allowed to keep or create. These sole outposts, thinly masquerading as working villages, were built for propaganda to extol each side's superior way of life. They sit directly opposite each other.

Do you love colours? They can help you brighten your home. You can add colour to your home while at the same time organising different items to avoid clutter. Home organisers do not have to be dull and boring. Let your creativity help you come up with unique ones that can make spaces look different.
If you tend to leave clothes everywhere, you can improve your organisation and still add colour to your room with the help of home organisers. A stacked style organiser for clothes stands out in a bedroom. Place it on the corner of your room so that it does not occupy a lot of space.
Cloth home organisers come in various styles and designs. Since they also feature different colours, you can easily find one that is in line with your taste. Feel free to choose an organiser with bright patterns or a solid colour. This can make a boring space look brighter.
If your walls are bare, you can transform this by choosing colourful shelving displays. Make use of box organisers for you to achieve this. The shelving option can blend well with other small pieces of art that you intend to use. You can pair this with some wild accents such as poufs, picture frames, or throw pillows.
Colourful organisers for your home can form part of your accent colour theme. You can avoid using too many colours by picking only one colour theme for your home organisers, then using it throughout the entire room. Though some of the home organisers are easy to implement, others need more work, such as paint. You should always have a variety of paints that you can use from time to time to decorate different areas of your home.
You have to be creative with paint so that you can add colour to the right spots. Instead of using dull organisational displays, paint them accordingly to make them stand out. For instance, if you have some wooden boxes that you want to use to decorate a room, paint them in bright colours, then place them in one spot. You can then add some decorative accents in the boxes. Feel free to combine them with some brightly coloured chairs so that you can create a unique look. Ensure that the colours blend in well.
The use of creative displays shows that home organisers can be more than traditional shelving and cloth boxes. If you have young ones and are tired of cleaning up the mess in their rooms, colourful bins should come in handy. This not only helps you add colour to such spaces but also make it easy for everyone to organise their items such as art supplies and toys.
Place colourful bins in an exposed shelf so that you can add a playful feel in your child's room. Home organisers can help you free up a lot of space in different rooms. Getting coloured home organisers also makes your rooms look unique. Find out more about home organisers from HK home journal.

For those who are well-familiar with the Christmas narrative from the Gospel of Luke, the inherent strangeness to the story may be missed. When read without either an over-familiarity or a commercialized sentimentality, the Lukan account of God's advent into the world is fairly extraordinary. I am struck by the way Luke juxtaposes the announcement of the King of Israel—"For to you is born this day in the city of David the Savior who is Christ the Lord"—with the sign of his advent: "And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."(1) The God of the universe would be set in a lowly manger, a feed trough for animals. he would be clothed, not in purple finery, but in woven, cloth strips.
Luke's narrative highlights what seem to be the most ordinary and the most mundane details of Jesus's birth for many modern readers. And yet, these seemingly ordinary details highlight a God who chooses to display divine glory in the commonplace birth of a human child. The gospel writer's utter preoccupation with ordinary details reveals the belief that coming of the Messiah and his kingdom would look very different from the kingdom that was expected. And this was extraordinary.
The Bible indicates a long silence of God from speaking directly to the people—a silence that must have seemed an eternity. But out of the silence of that quiet night, the angel spoke and announced what the people of Israel had all hoped for: God is near, the gospel proclaims, born in the same city as your great king of old, King David! The people now would look upon the new David, their new deliverer, who would be their Messiah. The prophet Micah announced this special context as well: "As for you, Bethlehem, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you one will go forth for me to be ruler in Israel. His going forth is from long ago, from the days of eternity." Out of the silent sky came the news that surpassed all news. The Messiah had come and the world would never be the same again, for a king had been born this day in the city of David—Christ the Lord!
Yet, this king would not be born in an expected palace or even into the household of a priest, like John the Baptist, for example. The glorious place of Israel's new king would be different than expected: "And this will be a sign for you; you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger." Born this day, in the city of David is your Christ, your Messiah. And guess what? You'll find him in a manger, which is the feeding trough for ordinary farm animals. Who would believe this report? How could the Messiah come with such vulnerability and poverty?
But the manger would prove to be his palace, and the first subjects of the kingdom would not be the influential or the powerful, not the righteous or the rulers. In fact, only a few people actually hear the news. After the silence of ages, God does not come with a shout, but like a whisper into the ears of a few select, uninfluential individuals. God comes as a crying baby needing the comfort and succor of human parents.
Mary, a young girl as yet unmarried, would be the first recipient of this good news. She was young and insignificant, and this announcement of an illegitimate and unexplained pregnancy wouldn't help her place in that society. The announcement also comes to shepherds—the least influential in that society—young boys, out in the fields, far from their towns and villages, tending to the family sheep. The glory of Israel is revealed to those most would deem inglorious. Israel's new king is born to a young, unmarried girl, in a town not her home, placed in a manger with animals as the initial witnesses to the birth. The heavenly announcement is made only to a group of poor, unnoticed shepherds.
Unveiling the glory of God through humble means and ordinary details is a point Luke's gospel highlights in portraying a kingdom that would upend many cherished expectations. The Almighty God, who created heaven and earth, who created the shepherds and the animals, Mary and Joseph, was the same God who chose to be glorified in human flesh as the baby Jesus. In the dependence and vulnerability of an infant, God's glory is revealed. Humble circumstances with unremarkable witnesses reveal the greatness and glory of God. Humility, from the very beginning, is one of the hallmarks of Jesus's Kingdom. Dr. James Denison elaborates on these extraordinary circumstances: "As a young child, [Jesus] was celebrated by foreign Magi, not of his own people. He spent his public ministry touching lepers, welcoming Gentiles and prostitutes, discipling tax collectors and other despised people, and offering the gospel to all who would receive it. His birth proved the words: 'God so loved the world that God gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but receive eternal life.'"(2)
In a world that confuses glory with glitter, glamour, power, and prestige, would we see God's glory in this seemingly inglorious package—cradled in a feed-trough, presented to peasants, and announced to the least and the last? For all who would wonder at this kind of birth, this kind of king, and this kind of God, they are welcomed to draw closer to the manger and the stable.

Director and CEO, HealthCare.gov
Follow @HealthCareGov |
Kevin Counihan ran one of the most successful state health insurance exchanges during the first year of Obamacare. As a reward, he was tapped by the Obama administration for one of the toughest jobs in government: keeping the federal HealthCare.gov online marketplace running while millions of Americans sign up for year two of coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
Until last August, Counihan was CEO of Access Health CT, the Connecticut HIX that signed up more than 250,000 residents for health coverage in year one and ranked among the nation's smoothest Obamacare rollouts. The site was praised for its no-frills approach. Functions like payment processing, site development and call center operations were outsourced, while an experienced state team focused on the fundamentals. And on opening day, while other health exchange sites staggered under the load, Access Health CT worked as advertised.
The site's performance was so good that at least one state — Maryland — switched its HIX to Connecticut's technology platform.
Now Counihan is the first CEO of the federal exchange, a position many called for after the disastrous rollout of the national marketplace. An all-hands-on-deck tech intervention in late 2013 stabilized HealthCare.gov, and 5.4 million Americans ultimately signed up for health insurance via the site.
HealthCare.gov isn't out of the woods yet — observers warned late last year that back-end repairs were still under way on the site — but Counihan appears to be on a roll. In October, the Obama administration unveiled a revamped version of the exchange. And while not perfect, the signup period was much better this time around.

I did a scary thing. I quit my job of 14 years without a plan. As someone who overthinks everything, this was slightly terrifying, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made.
My name is Allie, I have a Diploma in Tourism Management, and I use to work at Cypress Mountain, a ski resort in West Vancouver, BC. As someone who grew up skiing and snowboarding, it was the best job ever. I loved it. I made lifelong friends, got to snowboard for free, and got my start in my marketing career. So why did I quit? Well after 14 years, I was starting to feel a bit complacent. Sure I was having fun, and it was a great job, but I wasn't growing professionally and I felt stuck. So in May 2018 at the end of the season, I quit. No job lined up, no plan for the future. Nothing.
Sometimes you have to make the hard decision to propel yourself forward.
I took the summer off to figure out what comes next, and in the fall I hit the job hunt hard. As someone who hasn't actively looked for work since 2012, I was in for a rude awakening. I quickly realized that the direction I wanted to go and the types of jobs I wanted were a little bit out of my reach. My previous sales and social media management experience were not quite enough, and I needed some more skills and work experience under my belt to get my dream job. After a few discouraging months of job hunting and a mini existential crisis (I've made a huge mistake! How am I going to pay rent and feed myself?!), I made the choice to go back to school.
So now here I am, a full-time Digital Marketing Student at Red Academy.
I'm halfway through week three and it's a been a whirlwind. Just like starting a new job, at Red Academy, you hit the ground running. So far we've covered Google Analytics, setting up a custom WordPress website, SEO, branding, content creation and social media marketing. Whew…it's intense, but honestly – it's one of the best decision I've ever made.
What appealed to me most about Red Academy is the small class sizes, instructors with current industry experience, and getting to work with real clients. At the end of 12 weeks, I'll not only be able to say I know how to do all the things, but I will have a portfolio of projects with real clients showing that I know how to do all the things.
So follow me if you want to hear more about my journey as a student at Red Academy; the ups, the downs, the all-nighters, the celebrations…and maybe I'll even post some thrilling blogs on why SEO is so important.

Actress Suchitra Sen stableKolkata January 16, 2014 No Comments on Actress Suchitra Sen stable 336
Kolkata, Jan 16 (IANS) The condition of legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen, who is undergoing treatment at a nursing home here for serious respiratory problems, was stable Thursday, a medical bulletin said.
"Her condition remains much the same as yesterday (Wednesday). Her vital parameters are stable," said the brief bulletin released by the Belle Vue Clinic where Sen is being kept in the intensive therapy unit.
Wednesday's bulletin had described the 82-year-old actress as "extremely weak" with her oxygen saturation being maintained with the help of continuous oxygen therapy, nebulisation and chest physiotherapy.
She is not yet out of danger, doctors said.
Sen initially suffered chest infection and was undergoing treatment for it at the nursing home since Dec 23. Her condition worsened on the night of Dec 28.
Following complications, Sen was put on non-invasive ventilation Jan 3.
The actress, who ruled Bengali cinema for decades, has been a recluse ever since she quit acting over three decades ago.
Known for power-packed performances in highly acclaimed Bengali films such as "Deep Jwele Jaai" and "Uttar Falguni" as well as Hindi movies "Devdas", "Bombai Ka Babu", "Mamta" and "Aandhi", she has been dubbed as the Greta Garbo of Bengali cinema.
She won the best actress award for "Saat Paake Bandha" at the Moscow Film Festival in 1963.

The inhibitory psychological dysphoria caused by the mental health disorder referred to as generalised anxiety can impede an individual socially and cause them to develop self-destructive habits. An effective remedy can sometimes be found through the use of medications such as diazepam 10mg tablets, a benzodiazepine treatment that combats anxiety symptoms.
The medication hosts other treatment options as well such as for issues like insomnia and even alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam 10mg tablets also work as a treatment for muscular spasms. However, it should only ever be used by a patient at the behest of their doctor.
You may or may not be aware that it is now quite common to find an online pharmaceutical distributor that delivers affordable generic medications within your area. Generics of medications such as diazepam 10mg tablets can be acquired from these distributors as well and, as stated, can be acquired through this means at exponentially decreased prices.
But the prices are not the only reason for why you may benefit from forgoing the services of regular pharmaceutical outlets and instead of buying your medications online. Internet-based pharmaceutical retailers specialise in the provision of superb customer service as well, contributing towards an exceptionally positive rate of customer satisfaction. Here are some examples:
We are proud to say that we are still amongst the top online pharmaceutical branches with regards to effective medications that can be bought at a fraction of the regular prices. Our generic diazepam 10mg tablets have been tried and tested to relieve anxiety symptoms just as effectively as the original but we are offering you the opportunity to get this medication at significantly lower prices.

HAGATNA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Dec. 7) – Trash collection will not be interrupted even though the Ordot dump is full, and Guam will be forced to face the financial, environmental and safety repercussions of the bloated dump until an alternative site is opened, Public Works Solid Waste Division Superintendent Dominic Muna said yesterday.
Public Works has two options for stretching the dump's capacity – filling a staging area where cover material is kept, on Ordot's east edge, or continuing to stack garbage higher.
Neither solution is perfect, Muna said.
If garbage is dumped in the staging area, Muna said it threatens to contaminate the Lonfit River because it would be lower and closer to the water than the rest of the dump. If Ordot continues to expand upward, it will increase the risk of fires, landslides and cave-ins from poorly compacted garbage.
"Every additional day (Ordot dump) stays open, it is having a negative impact in some way," Muna said.
Still, he added, continuing to fill the Ordot dump was a better choice than giving residents no outlet for their garbage.
Muna said Public Works has no choice but to leave Ordot open until a new landfill is complete and ready to receive trash. Without a dumpsite, trash could pile up illegally in residential areas and on roadsides, becoming an eyesore and a danger to public health.
According to the speediest estimates, construction of a second landfill will take at least six to nine months, Muna said.
"If they break ground tomorrow, we'll close our gates in eight months and 29 days," he said.
Solid Waste Law Review Commission Chairman Sen. James Espaldon said that when construction will begin depends on where the new landfill will be built – at the Guatali site or the Dandan site.
Until then, concessions will have to be made. Trash has already begun to creep onto Ordot dumps' access roads and garbage on the west side is encroaching onto private property.
Muna said private engineering company Duenas, Bordallo & Associates estimated that the staging area could expand the dump's life span by four months if the Guam Environmental Protection Agency approves it as a trash site.
"If there are steps in place to control the runoff, ... and that would help minimize the damage to the environment, that is something we would be prone to approve," Environmental Protection Agency spokeswoman Tammy Anderson said about the staging area plan.
Muna said members of the Solid Waste Law Review Commission had resisted the plan to use the staging area because of its environmental risks.
Espaldon said he is disappointed that Public Works waited until the dump reached capacity to choose an expansion plan, even though the warning signs were many and frequent.
"The bottom line is this fix should have been in the works a long time ago," he said, referencing Public Works' 200-day warning on Sept. 13.
The dump has reached capacity well before the warning predicted, but Muna said it had just been an estimate.
If Public Works instead decides to expand upward, Muna said there was no way of knowing how many days the dump could continue before the safety risks of narrow roads and loose garbage bite back.
"It's a ticking time bomb," he said.
Anderson said dump runoff may be an environmental concern if the dump grows beyond its capacity and that the risk of trash fires burning plastics and releasing toxic fumes might increase.
Although a temporary dumpsite in another location has been proposed as a third option to tide Guam over until a new landfill opens, Anderson said Guam Environmental Protection Agency would never approve it.
Proper waste containment for any dumpsite larger than a short-term staging area requires years of engineering surveys and scientific research, she said.
"A truly temporary site could never be good enough," she said.
No matter which solution is chosen, the dump has already exceeded the capacity projected in Duenas, Bordallo & Associates' closure plan, voiding the design and forcing the government to pay for a new one, Muna said.
"When they prepared the design for the closure of the landfill, it was designed for a certain amount of waste and at a certain level. The more we exceed that, the more the design has to be mended, ... and the more it's going to cost," he said.
A methane ventilation system and a moat for contaminated runoff must be built to cap the dump, but cannot be designed until the dump stops growing, Muna said. Until a completion date for a new landfill is set, a new design can't begin.
Even though the landfill is being stretched beyond its limitations, Muna said Public Works did not plan to restrict the number of bags of garbage residents could dump.
He said he encourages residents to recycle and to lessen the trash load, but Public Works would not force them to do so because he didn't feel the process was fair or economically feasible for the disadvantaged.
Espaldon said public efforts to minimize garbage would be necessary and that he believed the public would rise to the occasion, but did not write off the possibility of legislation that would promote, or perhaps even mandate, recycling.

Up before dawn this morning to head down to the river to see what the sunrise and camera would do. I threw in the Canon video camera so I could have a video of the location. I was kicking myself some because I hadn't prepared better with having myself ready. Before I left, I switched out the Oben and Manfrotto tripod head because the Manfrotto doesn't move as smoothly any more. Which means a hunt for the plate for the camera which goes to the head. I found it and attach it to the camera satisfied that now I am ready to go out into the cold morning. I am ready for the adventure.
I load myself up in the Jeep and I drive down the road. The morning is chilly and the sunrise is not looking like it will be overly spectacular. I realize that since I am testing out new equipment I am not expecting to get anything great. Especially since this is a complete shift from the canon and I have to manage the buttons in the dark. I find a spot by the river and set up my tripod and expect that the camera will slide on the tripod head with no problems. Argh what is wrong? I specifically put the plate on before I left the house. I fumble in the dark and the light is coming up. I reach in my bag to find my flash light and look- I have the wrong plate. HOW? I could have sworn I grabbed the right plate-I swear this morning at 5:30 am it LOOKED like the right plate. No, it is wrong. Hmmm I am glad I don't have high photo expectation. Plan 2 involves resting the camera on the tripod so at least the shots will be somewhat stable. A little late, I also handhold the filter because I only have one ring adapter and it is for the wide angle lens. The expectation lowers and I decide to relax and just enjoy the time with camera and nature.
Now, I am impressed with how the camera works. I am shooting full manual this morning with the point of watching my exposure using both the meter and the histogram. I am trying to figure out if the meter dial actually changes the setting or not. Not quite sure yet but I am adjusting my F stop for speed to get my exposure. It is really black out here with the light coming across the river to the North. I leave the ISO on 200 and mainly adjust speed and F Stop. My only problem is I am basically hand holding which I would prefer to make my adjustments on the tripod. I decide to just role with it. The book I am reading says don't be afraid to make mistakes and now it the time to do it if I am going to. Besides I won't show you those pictures, but I will learn from them.
I get home and wonder if I got anything from this morning adventure. The sunrise was disappointing but the fog over the river more than compensated with the back light coming from the sun. The feel of the camera is good in the hands and it is lightweight to carry around. Which I keep thinking the more I like it the more I will use it. It doesn't mean that the Canon equipment will go away. The 5D can still do things that the Fuji can't being full frame and with some of the lenses but it all depends on what I am doing. I wait patiently as Lightroom loads my photos and I am pleasantly surprised with the morning adventure and having to compensate for lack of plate and hand holding the filter. Yes, I think with work and patience this camera and I will see some more of the world.

Plans are taking shape for a series of fundraising events aiming to help a severely disabled tot and his family.
Two-year-old Alfie Cairney was left severely disabled and lost the function of his kidneys after contracting E.coli.
He has been at Manchester Children's Hospital for the past six months and is set to return to Macclesfield Hospital in the next few days.
Friends, family and volunteers are planning to raise as much money as possible so his family can buy equipment for Alfie's eventual return to his home in The Crescent, Hurdsfield.
They are planning a 10k walk and fun day on April 26, which is Alfie's sister Ellie-Mai's birthday, at South Park, using Alfie's former nursery Scamps as its base.
Nina Page, a family friend and one of the organisers, said: "We looked at a couple of dates but Ellie-Mai said she wanted to do the walk on her birthday so that she can help Alfie.
"At first we did not think that she would want to do it on that day but she insisted, she is such a good girl.
"We have also had so much support and emails from people wanting to help put events on or volunteers, the messages have been amazing from everyone in the community."
Another event already confirmed is a race night at the Broken Cross Club on March 7 at 8.30 pm.
Nina added: "We need to have public liability insurance for the 10k but at the minute we are not sure of the best way to go about putting on this sort of event.
"If there was anyone who might have put on charity events before who might be able to help out with organisation then please get in touch."
Organisers for the fundraising activities are appealing to businesses to help sponsor the event or donate what they can.
If you would like to volunteer or have been involved in organising charity events and can help the family, contact Nina Page on email at email@example.com.

The Chess Advantage in Black and White: Opening Moves of the Grandmasters by Larry Kaufman
The Chess Advantage in Black and White: Opening Moves of the Grandmasters Larry Kaufman ebook
Format: pdf
Page: 512
Publisher: Random House Puzzles & Games
In modern chess, the bishop is not weighed down to defense but takes up an active post on (f4) or (g5). First position solution ….b6 . I am hoping that if you see a real game played out by grandmasters, instead of being scared and going on the defense, you might look to make your pieces active and counter balance the weakness in your camp. After you find the right move, please download the solution here: . Dhabi and Manama.The Kuwait Chess Federation must request the FIDE organisation to conduct open tournaments in kuwait so the chess players can get a FIDE rating. I usually have to open the book from somewhere in the middle, and then flap backwards or forwards for pages near the beginning or end of the book, but if you do that, the book will stay open without a problem. Choose simple, open, attacking positions. Every competitive chess player needs to decide which openings he wants to play. It contains all the main recommendations and they are suitable for kids as well. 8 Rg1 Nxh2 9 from the book Chess Advantage in Black and White – Larry Kaufman gave 5 rules as a guidelines for Black player. He recommended Black activates his (a8) rook to the open (c) file. �The French Winawer – move by move" by Steve Giddins, published by Everyman Chess is another opening title of the "move-by-move" series! Nxg4 Many grandmasters decline, with 7 . White heard something about development, but started from the wrong piece :) You'll finish off that centralized king easily, won't you? White takes advantage of this by launching an attack against the kingside with the moves: 15. Is fully respectable among strong GM 3. So, call it a blend of calculation and positional play if you like, but know that in strategy you can at times do poor seemingly positional decisions now to get a great positional advantage five moves down the line. Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest chess players of all time, was a complex, controversial and tragic figure. Have you studied "The Grandmaster's Openings Laboratory" course?

Today we are going to take a quick look at the first Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) on the market, the Chevrolet Volt. It was first released in the fall of 2010 in select markets, and went nationwide in 2011.
From the exterior, the vehicle can be primarily identified by the "Volt" badging on the front fenders and on the liftgate. Additionally, the door for the charging port is located on the driver's side front fender underneath the Volt logo. The interior features digital display screens which also provide clues such as the battery state of charge indictor.
The Volt is constructed of nearly 80% high and ultra-high strength steel with the vehicle essentially built around the six foot, 400 pound, liquid cooled, 360 volt lithium ion battery that runs down the center of the vehicle and under the rear seats. In addition to the high voltage battery, there is an engine generator under the hood that is designed to generate electricity to power the drive motors when the battery becomes depleted. The average range on the fully charged battery is 25-50 miles with an additional 344 miles provided by the engine generator running off the 9.3 gallon gasoline supply. The Volt battery can be recharged using a level I or II charging station.
Since this vehicle has both a high voltage electrical system as well as a gasoline powered generator onboard, first responders should treat this vehicle as you would a hybrid and be sure to control both energy sources.
For a more in depth look at this vehicle and its emergency response procedures be sure to take our Volt safety training course.

Laurelton State Village
|Laurelton State Village
|Current Status
|Building Style
|Cottage Plan
|Alternate Names
Laurelton State Village started its life as the Laurelton Village for feeble-minded women of childbearing age. Being the first of its kind, the initial concept was intended to detain, segregate, care for, and train feeble-minded women of childbearing age (between the ages of 16 and 45 years). Construction began in 1914 on 230 acres of land, with the first cottage opening in 1917 with 36 residents. Within the next ten years six more buildings were constructed, with the population increasing to 500. The institution was self-suffiecent, with residents working on the farm harvesting food, doing laundry and working in the kitchen.
In 1969, a radical change took place when the decision was made to admit males into the institution. With the addition of male residents the institution was renamed to the Laurelton State School and Hospital. The Center closed in 1998.
The property was purchased by Mountain Valley Inc in 2006, who have expressed interest in turning it into a resort among other things.
Images of Laurelton State Village
Development Plans
Plans for the former institution, which once housed mentally-challenged residents, include a conference center and a championship-length, Arnold Palmer Design golf course.
The Hickernell Springs Resort will feature 125 rooms, most of which will be in the former hospital building, with the remaining rooms in surrounding cottages. Also included is a registration area; ballrooms (located in two of the larger buildings on campus); an indoor pool and health spa; an outdoor pool; and at least two restaurants. About five of the cottages may be earmarked for condominiums and sold to corporations for use by employees.
The Palmer course will wrap around the complex, which spans 335 acres and involves 52 buildings. The Laurelton Center was closed in 1998 following a 77-year period as a state-run institution. Besides $7 million budgeted for the golf course, another $24 million is needed to renovate the buildings. About $5 million of that amount will be used to remove asbestos hazards. Two other hazardous disposal sites on the property must also be cleaned up. [1]
