The curtain fell. The opera was over and the audience slowly filed from the theater. Everyone talked about the baritone, his looks, his voice, and his stage presence. No one was more excited and giddy than two sisters, Lucille age sixteen and Minnie fourteen.
"Did you see how gorgeous he was?" Minnie said.
"His voice was so pure I thought my heart was about to melt away," Lucille said.
"We got to rush too the hospital and tell Momma," Minnie said. "Do you have the program. It has his picture on it."
"Yes I have it. I'm having it framed. Do you have enough money left to take the street car?" Lucille said.
"I used the extra to buy the program," Minnie said.
"That's okay," Lucille said. "We can run just as fast."
"I hope Momma hasn't named our brother yet," Minnie said. "Once she sees the picture on the program she'll want to name him after our gorgeous baritone."
The girls ran until their legs were about to give out. They slowed to catch their breath in a cold crisp November evening.
"He's so handsome," Minnie said breathless.
"How could anybody be that handsome?" Lucille said.
"I wonder if he's married?" Minnie said.
"Oh, Minnie," Lucille said. "He's too old for you, but he's just right for me," and she giggled.
"You're sixteen," Minnie said. "You're not ready for marriage."
"I'll soon be," Lucille said assuredly. "And he'll wait for me; all gentlemen with breeding do that."
"I'm just two years behind you and when he sees my beautiful green eyes and curls he'll wait for me," Minnie fluttered her eyes and stroked her hair. "Besides I got sass."
"Men of good breeding don't like sass," Lucille said and added softly. "They like women who are demur like me."
"When did you become demur?" Minnie said.
"Right now," Lucille said and began running toward the hospital.
"Demur girls don't run," Minnie said and ran after Lucille.
The girls arrived at the hospital. They caught their breath and sneaked past the receptionist's and the nurse's desk in the maternity ward. They slipped quietly into Momma's room.
She was holding their five day old brother.
"Oh girls," Momma said. "I wasn't expecting you. It's past visiting hours. Nothing is wrong is it?'
"No, Momma," Lucille whispered we have something important for you to consider.
"First of all, how was the opera?" Momma said.
"It was gorgeous," Minnie said.
"She means the baritone was gorgeous," Lucille said.
"We're both gonna marry him," Minnie chuckled.
"Look, Momma," Lucille said. "Here is his picture on the program."
Momma held the picture near the light. "He is very handsome. I'd be proud to have him as a son-in-law even if he was married to both of you at the same time. That would mean only one extra setting at Thanksgiving."
"Momma," Lucille said. "Have you named our brother yet?"
"No," Momma said.
"Now hold the program close to our brother," Minnie said. "If they don't resemble each other I don't know who would."
"Well they are both handsome," Momma said.
"Please, please name our brother after our handsome opera singer," Minnie pleaded.
Momma looked at the name on the program. "That's a good strong name. Only a handsome boy should have that name. Yes, we'll name him Byron Jackson."
"Isn't that a handsome name?" Minnie said.
"Names aren't handsome," Lucille corrected.
"This one is," Minnie savored with her hands clutched to her heart.

After car dealers and other merchants complained that proposed sign regulations would hurt their business, the City Council this week voted to delay the approval of restrictions on temporary business signs.
But the council voted unanimously to pass the rest of a 221-page sign ordinance designed to improve the city's appearance by regulating, among other factors, size and types of signs.
At a meeting Monday night, representatives from two Alhambra dealerships told council members that regulations restricting temporary signs to 25% of a window area and limiting its display to 120 days a year would mean fewer car sales.
"We are going to have to lay people off because we are not going to sell cars," said Bill Brantley, general sales manager of Alhambra Mitsubishi. "If these advertisements we use weren't effective, we wouldn't use them."
Paul Talbot, co-owner of two Wendy's Old Fashion Hamburgers restaurants in Alhambra, said car dealerships are not the only businesses that need large window signs. "We have specials too," Talbot said. "The only way that's communicated is through banners and the window signs."

This is a Jewish sword-and-horse historical novel of swashbuckling and derring-do, consciously patterned after the great adventure stories of the early 20th century. The cover art (Andrew Davidson) & interior illustrations (Gary Gianni) fit this perfectly—the wood-engraving style is exactly right, and the only thing that would make it perfect is (expensive) watercolour-style colour plates.
I only have two criticisms of this book; it's too short, and there aren't nearly enough female characters. The one woman with any agency spends nearly all of the book, and the rest of her life, disguised as a man.
It's set in the Kingdom of the Khazars, around 950 CE, and follows the adventures of two wandering Jewish adventurers from very different backgrounds. Zelikmann is a Frankish physician suffering from acute depression; Amram is an Abyssinian mercenary. Together, they
fight crime put an exiled prince back on a usurped throne.
Since this is a quintessentially Jewish text, it's very much concerned with two fundamental icons of the Matter of Fantasy—the Road and the Book. Chabon's afterword talks in detail about the yearning for travel and adventure, and of course there's a lot of black humour to be had contrasting that to the history of the Jews. Two complementary quotations, first from the book itself—
She looked away so they would not see her tears, and noticed, on its carved and gilded stand, the giant illuminated Ibn Khordadbeh that had so enchanted her as a child, with its maps and preposterous anatomies and flat-foot descriptions of miracles and wonders, page after page of cities to visit and peoples to live among and selves to invent, out there, beyond the margins of her life, along the roads and in the kingdoms.
—and from the afterword.
For better and worse it has been one long adventure—a five-thousand-year Odyssey—from the moment of the true First Commandment, when God told Abraham lech lecha: Thou shalt leave home. Thou shalt get lost. Thou shalt find slander, oppression, opportunity, escape, and destruction. Thou shalt, by definition, find adventure.

Aptera: The Electric Ultra-Commuter
By Bill Moore
Siting in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic in San Diego, California gives one lots of time to think. In the case of Steve Fambro, an electrical engineer working for a biotech firm, he spent his time musing about finding a way to travel safely, economically, and legally down the High Occupany Vehicle (HOV) lane in something even more efficient than your standard Prius or Civic Hybrid.
His musings led to what may well be a truly paradigm busting vehicle that is part fish, part airplane, part motorcycle and all-electric.
No, Aptera isn't an amphibious flying motorcycle. It's a three-wheeled, two-passenger (with room for a possible third person) car that combines the extremely smooth aerodynamics of a dolphin, the latest styling cues and composite structures found in the newest generation of general aviation aircraft and an ultra-efficient, clean, quiet electric drive (battery-only and plug-in, range-extended versions).
The result is an ultra-commuter vehicle that its creator estimates will get the equivalent of 300 mpg (0.784 L/100km). To find out more about the genesis of this incredibly efficient prototype, I wrangled 30 minutes of Fambro's time from his increasingly hectic schedule.
You can listen to my 30-minute conversation with him using either of the two MP3 players at the top of the page. Or you can download the 6.8MB file to your computer hard drive for transfer to and playback on your favorite MP3 device.
IN BRIEF: Synopsis of Conversation with Steve Fambro
Fambro recognized the value of bringing Anthony into the project when IdeaLabs -- a venture capital firm investing in start-ups like Aptera -- came down to the company's Oceanside airport hangar on a due diligence visit.
That being said, he contends that a three-wheeled design can be just a stable as a 4-wheel model. He also argues that with the advent of the rise of the automotive stylist, the focus of design shifted from engineering functionality to sales esthetics. That lead to the situation where aerodynamics where downplayed for fashion; and much of the energy used to power the vehicle was concentrated in pushing styling through the air.
He recognizes that the emphasis on four-wheels has a long historical record dating back to the Pharaohs of Egypt; and he can't envision a three-wheel SUV or minivan. But for certain applications like his super-efficient commuter car, three makes sense.
He also hinted that future Aptera vehicles will not be limited to the current "tadpole" configuration.
He explained that Aptera's intellectual property is based on its aerodynamics and composites technology, not on its drive system, which is largely considered "off-the-shelf".
The Typ-1 is an all-electric vehicle, which will also be offered as a plug-in, serial hybrid version with a smaller battery pack that is supplemented by a small gasoline engine spinning a 10kW electrical generator.
Beyond the 100 miles, the mpg drops and stays fairly steady at around 130-140 mpg the further you drive.
The result is a vehicle that resembles the original Mark Zero prototype, but has much more room inside from head room to hip room.
While his team was at it, Fambro set the company on a path that would someday allow the vehicle to also be classified as a motorcar, instead of a motorcycle.
Aptera will spend the next six-to-eight months working out the final manufacturing details, like how to get the price of the paint finish down or have a particular steel part made cheaper.
The company has nearly completed FMVSS frontal zone impact testing -- using CFD computer modeling like that used by Honda and others -- and will shortly begin side impact testing. Also incorporated into the vehicle will be in-seat belt-based airbags, as well as the integrated energy redirection and abatement engineering in the chassis to insure passenger safety.

Every year on June 14, the United States of America celebrates "Flag Day." The special day is recognized each year because it is the anniversary of the day that the Second Continental Congress made a resolution about the U.S. flag.
They said, "Resolved, that the Flag of the thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation."
In honor of "Flag Day," we asked Faith Family America readers to post their favorite photos of the American flag that they have taken! Below are a few of the photos that were posted. Additionally, one reader even decided to post a poem about the flag!
Diane wrote, "Taken at Holy Cross Cemetary. My dad proudly served in WW1 US Army. He is my hero!"
Thank you so much for your father's service, Diane Klug!
Vicky said, "Rockaway Beach New York."
Below are some more of our favorite photos of the American flag:

CDC, cdc.org, Centers for Disease Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, concussion, concussions, concussions in children, concussions in sports
Football, like no other game, is a clearly a great part of American culture. And with all the excitement and cheers for tge game also comes the possibility of injuries such as concussions. As we are all aware, Will Smith stars in a movie called "Concussion". If you're not familiar, it's about forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu who while conducting an autopsy on former football player Mike Webster, discovers neurological deterioration that is similar to Alzheimer's disease. He attributes this disease to football-related head trauma.
Whenever a concussion is mentioned most people think of it happening during football because it is such a hard hitting contact sport. But as you will read in this post, concussions can occur through other means as well.
What is a concussion?
A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to either the head or the body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. A concussion changes how the brain normally functions. Concussions can have serious and long-term health effects, and even a seemingly mild 'ding' or a bump on the head can be serious.
Head impacts and concussions caused by contact sports are a quickly growing epidemic among young athletes. When left undetected, concussions can result in long-term brain damage and may even prove fatal.
Concussions are fairly common. Some estimates say a mild brain trauma is sustained every 21 seconds in the U.S.
CDC reports show that the amount of reported concussions has doubled in the last 10 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics has reported that emergency room visits for concussions in kids ages 8 to 13 years old has doubled, and concussions have risen 200 percent among teens ages 14 to 19 in the last decade.
While the first hit can prove problematic, the second or third head impact can cause permanent long-term brain damage. Cumulative sports concussions are shown to increase the likelihood of catastrophic head injury leading to permanent neurologic disability by 39 percent.
But it's important to recognize the signs of a concussion so you can take the proper steps to treat the injury.
There are some common physical, mental, and emotional symptoms a person may display following a concussion such as headache, nausea, fatigue, or memory problems, sleep disturbances, or mood changes; some other symptoms are confusion or feeling dazed, clumsiness, slurred speech nausea or vomiting, balance problems or dizziness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to noise, sluggishness, ringing in ears, behavior or personality changes, concentration difficulties, or memory loss
symptoms are typically noticed right after the injury, but some might not be recognized until days or weeks later. Any of these could be a sign of traumatic brain injury.
In what sports are concussions most often reported?
Among high school athletes, concussions are most often caused by contact with an opponent, a team mate, the ground, or a piece of equipment or object in the playing area. In organized high school sports, concussions occur more often in competitive sports, with football accounting for more than 60% of concussions.
For males, the leading cause of high school sports concussion is football; for females the leading cause of high school sports concussion is soccer. Among children and youth ages 5-18 years, the five leading sports or recreational activities which account for concussions include: bicycling, football, basketball, playground activities, and soccer.
High school football accounts for 47 percent of all reported sports concussions, with 33 percent of concussions occurring during practice. After football, ice hockey and soccer pose the most significant head health risk.
Sports concussions are on a dramatic rise – 1 in 5 high school athletes will sustain a concussion this year. More than 33% of sports-related concussions happen during practice.
To preserve the young athlete's head health, mental cognition and ability to succeed, it is critical that coaches, players and parents are aware of the inherent dangers and how to properly perform a concussion evaluation.
The Head Health Management System is the only multi-platform head health management system that is designed to measure hits and help identify concussion symptoms. The system uses the Head Case Impact Sensor, a small device that is inserted into a helmet to monitor and measure head impacts.
By reviewing the athlete's normal impact history and comparing to national averages based on impact data collected by other users, the Head Case Impact Sensor can detect head impacts of concern and alert coaches, trainers and parents when statistically significant thresholds are exceeded. The Head Case Mobile App can help you perform a proper concussion test and concussion evaluation.
Without medical professionals present to assess the head impact or impact measurement data to review, head health management standards decline. Athletes are left vulnerable and ill-equipped without information readily available about their own health.
It is everyone's responsibility when it comes to the brain health of athletes. In all levels of athletics, the parents, coaches, staff, spectators and the athletes themselves need to be vigilant when it comes to head injuries. We must get baseline evaluations and use those when we evaluate the athletes for possible concussions. When an athlete's brain health is in question, err on the side of caution and take them out of play until properly evaluated and released by a physician. It is not worth jeopardizing one's life (brain health) for a game.

What I've Learned Pt. 2
"I have long considered the creative impulse to be a visit– a thing of grace, not commanded or owned so much as awaited, prepared for. A thing, also, of mystery" -Lorenna McKennitt
As my writing sabbatical winds to a close, I find myself reflecting once again on what it's provided in the way of learning. Time is an amazing concept, as is space; one month at home can come and go with seemingly little import. A month away, however, provides a treasure trove of insights. Not necessarily for what does or doesn't happen, but for the attention upon and increased receptiveness to the newness of surroundings and ourselves in them.
I'm particularly intrigued by what I've learned in this state of awareness about expectations. We all know of their power as well as their perils. For better or worse, eyes set on a prize often find it… a dream come true when it's what we really want, a nightmare when our unclear or unaware vision has set ill sights.
Yet even with the most incredible of goals, fixation can cause as much blindness as it can clarity. So focused, we often miss the different- and better- views and paths that a more objective and open mind might have seen, and taken…
I came to California with the fixed notion of doing nothing other than work on my second book. It was to be a glorious time dedicated exclusively to planning the structure and writing. No distractions, simply formulating ideas in my mind and placing them in a certain fashion onto the page.
It was a wonderful plan. A wonderful, disastrous plan.
Two weeks in, I found myself surrounded by drafts upon drafts of marked up and discarded tables of contents, pages upon pages of narrative ideas that didn't quite seem to work within their contexts. Story boards and post-it notes covered the walls, attesting to the productivity I was determined to achieve.
But not to the spirit and creativity.
I finally threw up my hands, telling the ocean on a walk that perhaps this wasn't such a great idea.
At that moment, the better path laid itself plain before me…
I'd planned a sabbatical based on a practicality that disregarded everything that works so well at home. There, inspiration comes when it comes, reflections in and of moments. Structure has always emerged later- proud and sure- as a gathering up of these ideas. By trying to intellectually pre-plan then command what to say and how to say it, I was preventing the very flow of in-the-moment inspiration necessary for me to create anything of value.
What's more, this inspiration comes largely from my work… my passion which this writing sabbatical necessarily put on hold. By stepping away from my surroundings, I was cutting off the camaraderie and conversations that fuel the very ideas I then long to write about. An incredible view and loving pup- while wonderful- couldn't make up for this important engagement and feedback.
Fortunately, less than optimal experiences can be highly beneficial if we're open to the lessons they're offering. The last three weeks of my time in California have found me honoring the wisdom from that walk along the beach. I threw out the tactical table of contents I'd settled upon and for. I put aside schedules and plans for structure, reopening the space for ideas to come how and when they wanted. I allowed myself to work with clients and on other projects.
It was then that ideas worth writing, and hopefully worth reading, began to emerge.
I'd read all the books and followed all the advice. But nothing worked until I followed my heart.
Establish your expectations. Set your intentions and make your plans. And then let them go. Expectations, like ideas, will fight to be heard and heeded if they're worthy. If not, they were never meant to be…

In yet another sign the Falcons are going to look outside the organization for a replacement for John Abraham, one of their young developmental players can't wait to get out the door.
Former fourth-round pick Lawrence Sidbury, who has shown flashes of pass-rush ability, won't be staying with the Falcons, according to his agent.
"No, it's not a place you would stick around considering what took place the previous year in your fourth year," agent Alan Herman told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "That would not be an option for us. That's not something he would want to do."
Sidbury had four sacks in 2011, and seemed poised to become part of the rotation, but never made an impact last year, playing in just nine games.
While he's far from a household name, young players with any hint of skill at getting to quarterbacks aren't allowed to freely leave often.
That tells you the coaching staff has some kind of problem with Sidbury, and that they don't have much faith in the internal options for replacing Abraham, who was released last week. For a team that finally pushed through and won a playoff game this year, which hasn't shied away from making bold moves, a run at a veteran pass-rusher should be expected.

In remembrance of Bill Cunningham, a true fashion icon and New York Times photographer, our Curator of Fashion Design, Dennita Sewell would like to share a special photo and personal note that Mr. Cunningham hand delivered to her in 1995, while she was working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Cunningham photographed Dennita at the Costume Institute's opening gala for Orientalism: Visions of The East in Western Dress. Bill was impressed by that jacket Dennita was wearing which she made and modeled after Christian Dior's "New Look."
Here is what the note Bill wrote to Dennita (written on the back of the image below) says:
Dear Dennita,
What a joy seeing the results of your work. Dior would have approved of the tailoring. The pattern matching on the seams...the shape of your jacket and most of all the refinement. The further we get from the 1947 new look the more people seem to exaggerate and vulgarize what was so elegant and refined in Dior's original. You have captured all that Dior presented.
If you kids have time, I would enjoy a fashion table lunch at your museum lunch room. Call and leave a message when it would be convenient. I was sorry the paper did not use this print but they try not to use photos of people looking in the camera lens.
Best regards,

From the 15th -18th of August, 69 Year 5/6 students attended Camp Kangaroobie!!!
Over the 4 days students experienced:
Farm activities, ranging from feeding lambs- to kissing pig bottoms!
Survival game in the environment
A muddy and resilience testing obstacle course
and canoeing!
Students (and teachers) trekked over 10km through incline, sand and mud across Jellybean river, to the beach- (in less than perfect weather) for some sand dune tobogganing and lunch.
All students participated in our interactive Trivia Night and Talent Show, where students demonstrated a tremendous rage of talent, from speeches to raps, to dislocating shoulders while doing the splits and some beautiful singing. The night also featured some very exciting special guest judges!
We watched Norm of the North on our movie night and devoured lots of marshmallows that we toasted by the indoor fire pit.
We all found it very hard to say goodbye to the 3 four legged friends on the farm Bucket, Jedi and Luna!
Students discovered the 'funnest game in the world' in the Gaga Pit!
We visited the historic landmark The 12 Apostles and the infamous Loch Ard Gorge. This was a fascinating experience, as students have been learning about the history of Australia's Shipwreck Coast.
Thank you to all the staff who made this camp possible and who assisted in making sure everything ran smoothly.
We hope everyone had a memorable experience and is well rested for school tomorrow.

5/6s in the Art Room!
Year 5/6L and 4/5H started the semester by looking at work by Andy Warhol. The children produced some very colourful soup cans that were inspired by his artwork. We also had some very creative soup names including Confetti Soup, Sloth Soup and Coke Soup…….yum!!!!
These grades have also been working on a radial symmetry relief sculpture. The children were introduced to three basic paper folds and then they let their creatively take over. Aren't the results amazing?
The children in 5/6L are currently working on a warm and cool colours project. Don't their efforts look great!Read More »
IMAX and Scienceworks Excursion
Last Friday (3rd of June, 2016), the students in Years 3-6 went on an excursion. First we had to get on the bus at 8.20am just so that we can beat the early morning traffic. We got to IMAX at about 9.15am to watch a documentary about space in 3D! It was pretty sick seeing all the galaxies up close. Then we hopped back on the bus to go to Scienceworks and the Planetarium. In the Planetarium we watched a cartoon about the seasons and Earth's tilted axis. Then we looked at star constellations. After that we looked around Scienceworks. There were sports, the future (think ahead) and there was even an Alice in Wonderland themed area! After all the wandering and looking all we all went on the bus and to go back to school.

IMAX, Scienceworks and planetarium!
Last Friday, the 3, 4, 5 and 6's went to IMAX and Scienceworks. First we went to IMAX. It was the best. We watched a 40 minute documentary about space. We loved it more because it was in 3D. After IMAX we went to Scienceworks. We all went into groups. All of the groups played games and watched a movie in the planetarium. Everyone loved it because we looked up in the sky and watched the movie. Then we went on the bus and came back to school.

Clever Kids is Back!
Students participated in their first session of Clever Kids this term. Students were involved in many different activities including, coding, gardening, drama, knitting, yoga, zumba, cooking, chess, science, clay making and guitars.
I love my Clever Kids activity because when you go to the garden there's a lot of plants and lots of tools to use. It's messy but really fun to do. It helps to know good plants for the garden and for winter.
By Daniel K
Clever Kids was really exciting. We did great things in Snazzy Science. The first was the egg drop, then we did Mentos with soft drinks and bottle rockets. My favourite was the bottle rockets because ours was the highest. Next term I want to do drama.
By Kon
I really enjoyed my Clever Kids lessons in 'Fun with Clay'. We made three different things each. I made a pizza on a plate, a Christmas tree and an 's' which stands for Summer. Fun with Clay was my number one choice and I got it. Yay! We also learnt about all of the materials.
By Summer
I love playing chess because we verse each other and it's very hard, fun and confusing to play chess.
By Dean
Wow. I love drama in Clever Kids. In drama you get the opportunity to do lots of acting in different scenarios. It is really fun. It will be so hard to choose something else next term.

This tablet contains a speed drill for each even-numbered lesson of the Grade 4 math course.
The speed drills are designed to be used every two days. Their purpose is to develop speed and accuracy in basic mathematical skills.
Each drill is numbered according to the lesson with which it should be used. The time limit for most speed drills is two minutes.
It is recommended that the teacher record grades every two or three drills, or about once a week. If grades are to be recorded, give pupils three minutes to work instead of the usual two. Allow even more time for some drills, as noted in the teacher's guide. The grade should reflect accuracy first and speed second.
For the scoring of speed drills, a number of points has been assigned to each item. The scored is obtained by multiplying the number wrong times the number of points for per item, and subtracting from 100.

Lentils, beans and peas belong to the group, Pulses . Pulses are edible seeds of plants in the legume family. Every day millions of people in India, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri lanka, get their "Proteins" from variety of lentils and beans.
Pulses are rich in protein and fibre. They are also rich in iron, pottasium, magnesium, and zinc. United Nations is trying to create awareness of the "Powerful Pulses", by designating 2016, as the United Nations International Year of Pulses. https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/iyp2016
Growing pulses require less water compared to raising cows, chickens and pigs for meat. Yes, World Hunger can be eradicated if everyone thrives on plant-based diet. In short, United Nations is urging people to eat lentils and beans every day. Many Americans and Canadians are taking, Pulse Pledge, to consume pulses every week!
Indian cuisine is brimming with numerous tasty and nutritious lentils and beans dishes. Every day I cook Indian dishes, and most of the dishes - Sambar ( thick Toor dal and vegetables stew), Kootu (channa dal or moong dal with vegetables), and Channa masala is made up of lentils, and beans.
During winter, I often make lentil soup for my family. I also like Black bean soup. Black bean salad is also my favorite dish. My friends make lentil burgers...

Writing Family Essays Will Educate you on the Importance of Family
Family is something which many of us cannot live without. Family, for many is the bond that holds people together. Everyone has their own opinion as to what a "real" family is. However, we all know that some families are happy and some are not so. Your family essay can spend its words by trying to define these elements. There are many aspects which you can consider when writing the essay as it is a topic which has a wide variety of possibilities. Therefore, we have provided you with some of the many ways in which you can approach your essay.
What is a Family?
The Oxford Reference dictionary refers to family as all the descendants of a common ancestor and a group of people related by blood or marriage. But there are other types of family. Types of plants and animals too are called family. Your essay can describe each element of family and what makes them who they are.
The Perfect Family
Everyone has dreams about what a perfect family should be. Family essays can examine ideas of two or more persons about what they consider a perfect family to be. You can either compare two friend's families or compare your family to theirs and explain why you think their families are perfect and what makes them so.
Dysfunctional Family
Many students might find that they belong to this category of family at some point in their lives. Your family essay can discuss the reasons on why a family is dysfunctional or what can be done to avoid certain factors which contribute to a family becoming dysfunctional. Writing an essay on how to survive a family that is not normal will also be of value.
The Difference in Family in the Western and Asian Countries
There are vast differences where family is concerned between these countries. For example, in the Western countries once a person attains a certain age; they will go on to live independently. Their families are nuclear. In the Asian countries this is not so. Even after marriage, many families co exist together under one roof. These are extended families. Your essay can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these family systems.
Living in a Single Parent Family
With the rate of divorce increasing yearly, this topic is an excellent opportunity for you to educate others on how to grow and become better persons despite the lack of parents in the household. You can discuss on the repercussions of growing up with only one parent, be it good or bad.
Family essays, when assigned will bring about boredom for many students. They might feel that these essays are inconsequential. This is not so. There is so much one can learn from writing this essay. It will teach you about family values, relationships, and the importance of family etc.

hello, i was discussing this with luc and based on his feedback thought it might be useful to bring this up on the list. ---- question: how do you encode that a certain activity "emailing a letter" happened during another activity "a meeting"? for example we conduct research studies/projects. activity(p1, [prov:type='ex:Project']) activity(p2, [prov:type='ex:MRIScanning', ex:session=1]) activity(p3, [prov:type='ex:MRIScanning', ex:session=2]) how would i encode that this activity p2 and p3 were conducted during p1? how would i encode p3 followed p2? luc's response: Regarding your question, there may be a few options: you could add time information to your activities. This will help you understand their ordering. Alternatively, if you want an explicit dependency in your graph, then p2 may generate something that starts p3, and/or is consumed by p3 Finally, prov doesn't have relations between activities, to express their nesting, etc. It's important but we felt this is not specific to provenance, but to process executions. ---- it's the last point on this response that i was not completely sure about. why "relations between activities" is "not specific to provenance, but to process executions." in the above example, one could say: wasSubtaskOf(p2, p1) wasSubtaskOf(p3, p1) wasFollowedBy(p2, p3) any clarification as to why such relations would be outside the realm of provenance would be much appreciated. cheers, satraReceived on Friday, 6 July 2012 12:46:37 UTC

Gene variants in autism linked to brain development
ScienceDaily (2011-03-01) -- New research on the genomics of autism confirms that the genetic roots of the disorder are highly complicated, but that common biological themes underlie this complexity. While the gene alterations are individually very rare, they mostly appear to disrupt genes that play important functional roles in brain development and nerve signaling. ... > read full article

Deep and Exact Cutting Technology (DXT) is a series of features that give Makita miter saws more cutting capacity and out-of-the-box accuracy for superior cutting performance. The innovative direct drive gearbox and guard system utilizes a portion of the back of the blade for significantly more vertical cutting capacity when cutting baseboard and nested crown molding. In addition, the direct drive gear box has no belts to slip or replace, so power is transferred more efficiently from the motor to the blade. The patented 4-steel rail sliding system with 6 linear ball bearings is engineered for minimal deflection for smooth, dead-on cuts for lasting accuracy, job after job.
About Model
The Makita LS1216L 12" dual slide miter saw delivers the largest crosscutting and crown cutting capacity in its class. It has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, and an exclusive 6 linear ball bearing design for smooth, adjustment-free, "dead-on" accurate cuts. The LS1216L is ideal for benchtop and jobsite use, as well as high-production/manufacturing settings.
The LS1216LX5 includes the Jobsite Miter Saw Stand (WST05). The stand has large solid rubber wheels for easier jobsite portability, with material support extensions that extend up to 9' with adjustable leg supports for increased cutting accuracy.

Buy the way
An apparel manager is the bridge between the design and the production teams. They are the one thread that connects the entire gamut of activities from the beginning to end of a style purchase order.education Updated: Mar 19, 2013 15:39 IST
The lowdown
An apparel manager is the bridge between the design and the production teams. They are the one thread that connects the entire gamut of activities from the beginning to end of a style purchase order. S/he also deals with the buyers. That's why any delay or goof-up in the communication to the client can cost the company a big order and the buck will stop with you, even if another team did it. These managers can work in retail where the role includes inventory control, deciding on what to buy, identifying store locations or in an export house where they decide on production, manufacturing, sourcing, etc. They need to manage fast-changing products, many of which become obsolete after one season. They can work in brands such as Benetton, Levis, Pantaloon; retail chains; export houses or sourcing companies (where they manage the supply chain) and outsourcing firms which are links between foreign clients and Indian manufacturers
9am: Do sample follow-ups
1pm: Lunch
2pm: Coordinate with vendors, track the movement of unshipped orders
3pm: Meet the commercial team
6.30pm: Make sure that all the samples are sent on time and inform buyers
The payoff
The starting salary of a merchandiser with a master's degree from a reputable institute is Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 1 lakh a month. Further on, pay depends on performance. A merchant growing to be the CEO of a big brand can rake in Rs. 50 lakh to Rs. 1 crore a year
* Commercial acumen
* Be detail-oriented
* Be able to handle a crisis calmly
Getting there
You may come from any background. Some institutes offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in apparel merchandising, fashion marketing and fashion management
Institutes and URLs
* National Institute of Fashion Technology, centres in many cities, including Delhi www.nift.ac.in
* Pearl Academy of Fashion, New Delhi
* Institute of Apparel Management, Gurgaon www.iamindia.in
Pros and cons
* It is a fast changing market
* If you cannot multitask, it can cost the company a big order
Apparel managers have a bright future because of significant developments in the apparel retail trade in the domestic market -- HKL Magu, senior vice chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council, New Delhi

A tattoo is one of the most dynamic symbols of self-expression ever created. It is very important to rely on the expert guidance of your artist for the care & aftercare of your long life treasure. The long life of your tattoo depends upon the care you give it during the critical first few days & weeks.
Before you get your ink, we suggest you increase your intake of vitamins A, C, & D. These vitamins are known to promote healing and may help speed your skin's recovery after receiving a tattoo. We also ask that you refrain from alcohol or aspirin two days before getting your tattoo as these can thin blood and cause excess bleeding, that washes the color pigment back out of the skin.
After you've gotten inked and you leave our studio, it is your responsibility to take the important steps to heal properly. When you give your ink the proper care while your skin heals, you will find that the tattoo will retain its vibrancy longer and you will enjoy it for the rest of your life.
Use the recommended Aquatat Tattoo Ointment we sell in our shop and available online.
H2Ocean's Aquatat is an ointment designed to effectively protect your new tattoo.
We also suggest wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing, so if your tattoo oozes at night, you won't stick to the sheets. If, while wearing cotton clothing, your tattoo does ooze and stick to your clothing, we suggest the following: Get into the shower with the article of clothing still on and get the area wet. Once wet, gently peel it away. After 24 hours you can wash the area with warm water. At this time it is safe to very gently begin working loose any bits of dried blood or ooze that might be on the surface.
Quality shop operators worldwide have helped compile the following directions for quick healing. However, we urge you to consult your Inksomnia artist for any special instructions related specifically to the care & aftercare of your tattoo.
Do not re-bandage the tattoo.
Do not apply Vaseline, lanolin or petroleum based products to the area.
Do not apply alcohol. Do not rub, scratch or pick at the tattoo.
Do not expose the tattoo to direct sunlight, swim or soak in a sauna, steam bath or bathtub for two weeks after getting ink.
Be sure clothing touching your tattoo is clean and soft.
Remember, a tattoo is considered minor surgery. It may bleed a bit at first, but will stop within a couple of hours. Most artists recommended the tattoo be kept bandaged overnight or for at least two to five hours after ink is applied. If the gauze sticks to the skin, soak the area with cool water until the gauze loosens, then remove it carefully. Once the ink is exposed, wash it carefully in cold water. Gently apply antibacterial soap using your fingers (never a cloth) to remove all surface blood and ooze. Rinse with cold water, pat dry with a clean towel & let air dry for 15 minutes. Then gently and sparingly apply a thin layer of Aquatat Tattoo Ointment. Repeat 3 or 4 times each day for 7 to 10 days.
After 5 to 14 days the tattoo may start to peel (this is normal, like a sunburn) and scab over. DO NOT pick or peel the skin away! Let it fall off naturally during the washing. Fresh skin will soon replace the dead skin. Your colors may fade during this process, but color will return when the healing is completed. It is important to use lotion to keep your tattoos healthy by keeping the skin soft and moist. Always apply Aquatat Tattoo Ointment or lotion sparingly. Too much prevents the skin/ink from breathing and can cause bleaching of your colors. If this happens, discontinue use, wash the tattoo, pat dry and consult your Inksomnia Tattoo artist at your earliest convenience.
After a few weeks all scabbing will be gone, but the area may still be a little sensitive. Continue regularly cleaning the area and applying lotion for the proper aftercare of your tattoo. Sun exposure is a major cause of ink fading, but after a few months you may sunbathe in moderation. Always use sunblock (at least SPF 30 that provides UVA & UVB protection).

The Hell in a Cell PPV is really starting to take shape now as another title match has been announced for the showdown in Dallas.
There were already three title matches announced for the event but now an extra match with a special stipulation has been named.

- Hell in a Cell's greatest moments: 20-11
There will be a 2-out-of-3 falls match for the Intercontinental Championship between champion Dolph Ziggler and Cesaro.
The two have been brawling for several weeks now and it is all set for the feud to come to a head at Hell in a Cell.
With Smackdown being filmed on Tuesday, it was announced during the show that Show off would be taking on the Swiss Superman in a very physical encounter.
The two actually faced off at this week's Smackdown in what has been described as a very physical and impressive match.
There has already been a lot of controversy between the two in recent weeks going back to the episode of Smackdown where Cesaro first challenged for the title.
Cesaro would lose the match despite holding the bottom rope during the deciding pinfall.
Now in a 2-out-of-3 falls match we are guaranteed to be given a worthy winner with it surely bringing Ziggler's biggest challenge since winning the title.
The match has yet to be officially announced on wwe.com but that is expected to happen once Smackdown has aired tomorrow.
A great night in Dallas
It really is shaping up to be a big night in Dallas despite the fairly noticeable absence of a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.
There will be two Hell in a Cell matches, one between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins whilst John Cena will face Randy Orton with the winner receiving a World Heavyweight Championship match.
Three other titles will be put on the line with Sheamus defending the US title against the Miz, Gold and Stardust defending their tag team titles against the Usos and AJ Lee defending her Divas title against Paige.
There will also be a lot of pride on the line as Rusev will finally go one-on-one with the Big Show and after how personal this feud has gotten over recent weeks, it should be an explosive encounter.
Long standing pride will also be on the line as Brie Bella faces off against her sister Nikki Bella with the losing having to be her sister personal assistant for the next month.

One Mitten Done, Half the Fun!
I started these mittens in October, as my Slotober project. Slow indeed! I was knitting a row or two every morning before work and a bit more on weekends. The routine waxed and waned and so, over the past week I finally finished the left mitten!!! One down, one to go. Here's to knitting the right mitten in less than 4 months, as I picked up yarn today for my next project—the Lila Top Down sweater.
My gauge was shy of what the pattern recommends. I knit tightly and MT Unicorn Tails yarn was a little thinner than the recommended Brooklyn Tweed Loft. I also neglected to do a swatch—I was too eager to get started and forgot this step. Nonetheless, this left mitten fits my hand just fine. I remember when I first came across these mittens in 2012. I was super intimidated by them—I had never knit mittens or done any color work. They seemed intricate beyond my skill level, but their design and color has stuck with me all this time. When I cast on in October, I still had never made a pair of mittens or done any color work. At this point, those nevers didn't scare me away and intrigued me instead.
Stranded Knitting + Color Dominance
Getting started on these, I was a bit thrown off by the pattern. The color chart is inverted when compared to the photographs that accompany the pattern. Since I wanted to knit the pair represented in the photos, I went back and forth trying to figure out which color was meant to be the dominant color. In the end, I decided to do as the pattern said after reading a post from Paper Tiger blog (DC Blue, BC White). The whole way through, I continued to get my strands tangled as I attempted to trap long strands. Eventually, I'll probably figure this out, but have been fine with detangling.
After Thought Thumb
The after thought thumb was easy enough. I followed these tutorials on YouTube:
It was my first time using this technique & I mussed the set up a little. When I came back to pick up the stitches, the top/back of thumb was a little wonky and there's a small hole (pictured above). I just knit 3 together in an effort to close it. Not perfect, but doable.
Yarn + Tools
The Unicorn Tails yarn is 100% merino wool and I love the softness of the final fabric. Madeline Tosh's colors are always beautiful and it's no surprise that most things I knit are with her yarns—I can't stay away! I was also excited to be using my new Fringe Co project bag, that my sister got me over the holidays. Being able to thread the yarn thru the yarn guides is such a nice feature.
Project Details
Pattern: 34th & 8th Mittens
Yarn: Madeline Tosh Unicorn Tails (3 skeins of ea. colorway; Antler, Fathom), fingering weight
Needles: US 1, bamboo
Gauge: 36 sts = 3.75″ though I haven't blocked my mittens yet
project on Ravelry

I have set up the project a account with User voice, a service that gives ticket support, knowledge base and feature request systems.
This will allow you all to submit any new features you would like to see in new updates or submit a ticket if you have a problem! (A much easier way of handling support than just normal email).
You will notice on the blog there is now a 'feedback and support' button in the bottom corner of your screen, you can click this to use the user voice system or you can access the site via http://linuxonandroid.uservoice.com/ to vote on features and view the knowledge base etc!
You can also still email for support but this must be done using the email address: email@example.com
The knowledge base and user voice site will be populated with the faq and more info and this will replace the faq on the blog at the moment.
For now please think about any features you would like to see and submit them! also vote on others as only those with votes will likely make it into a build

The New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera, the house opera company of the Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC), will hold its annual winter Open House on Saturday, January 14, 2017. The annual event will be held at 44 Armory Street in Englewood, New Jersey at 2:00 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the Open House will be held the following week on Saturday, January 21 at the same time and location.
Artistic Director Lucine Amara, a Met Opera luminary, invites the public to attend the free event and learn more about the grand opera company's 2017 season. The program features a short concert of vocalists performing arias and duets from Giuseppe Verdi's Aida. Opportunities will be discussed to get involved in the nonprofit opera company performing in the Verismo Opera Chorus, acting as supernumeraries in non-speaking and non-singing roles, and volunteering behind-the-scenes. Exhibits will display memorabilia and photos from Verismo Opera's 28 years of producing grand operas, sponsoring an annual international vocal competition, presenting concerts, holding master classes, giving operalogues, and training the stars of tomorrow.
Open House to Present Company's Staff & Trustees
Ms. Amara, Music Director/Principal Conductor Lucy Arner, Stage Director Evelyn La Quaif, Chorus Director Michael Wittenburg and members of the board of trustees and staff will be available to discuss Verismo Opera's mission, vision, and history. They will introduce the grand opera company's new 2017 production of Aida that will be performed on April 23, 2017 at bergenPAC, located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey, at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are now on sale and may be purchased online , in person at the theatre's box office at 30 North Van Brunt Street, Englewood, New Jersey, and by calling (201) 227-1030 or toll-free at 1-888-PACSHOW.
Verismo Opera Chorus Auditions
The Verismo Opera Chorus will hold auditions at the end of the program. Male singers, representing all vocal ranges and ages, are especially needed. Adult applicants should have a rudimentary working ability to read music and experience singing. Teenagers, ages 17 to 19, may also audition for the Verismo Opera Chorus and must read music and have some prior vocal experience singing with a school, choir, or another performing group or organization. Previous stage experience and foreign language study are desirable. Applicants who have these skills and experiences will be given preference.
The audition consists of singing five note scales. During the audition process, each singer's range and vocal category will be determined. Applicants do not need to bring a song or music to the audition. An application may be downloaded and completed. For information or to schedule an appointment to audition for the chorus, call (201) 886-0561 or contact electronically.
The Open House site is handicapped accessible. A parking lot has a designated handicapped parking space.

Members of the public requiring a special accommodation or with specific questions about the physical features of a facility where Verismo Opera performs may call (201) 886-0561 at least two weeks prior to the event.
The 2017 season is made possible, in part, with funds provided by the New Jersey Council on the Arts/Department of State, through grant funds administered by the Bergen County Department of Parks, Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs. Other supporters include Children's Aid Foundation, Robert J. Campbell, MD, Cesare L.

From your very first contact with us, we guide you through a straight-forward process to engage LinGrand and outsource your help desk.
On-Boarding Overview
The purpose of our on-boarding process is to provide you with a predictable, repeatable process. We follow structured steps so that you know what you can expect when you engage LinGrand and we can know what is expected of us when we put together a proposal and ultimately a contract for you.
The success of implementing the help desk outsourcing service will only be as good as the resources you and LinGrand dedicate to it. We understand that partnering with you is the key to your successful outsourced effort. We will draw upon our skill-sets and experience with numerous implementations to bring you industry best practices and facilitate a smooth transition. We ask you to recognize that outsourcing is not a "cure-all" for shortfalls that may exist in your IT support structure; rather, it takes hard work from both of us to make sure we continually improve your customer service experience.
On-Boarding Process
1. Initial Call
In our initial call we want to understand what your challenges are, what your objectives are; essentially what you are trying to accomplish and why you are looking to outsource the help desk. At a minimum we need to understand:
- The monthly volume
- Hours of coverage
- What we will be supporting
2. Discovery
The Discovery uses the initial call to drill a little deeper with you and involves either additional calls or visits to identify what you are doing now, what processes you have, what's working, what's not, and what your objectives are in order to submit a Proposal to you.
3. Proposal
The Proposal reflects our understanding of your challenges and objectives from the initial call and Discovery. We then outline the service and cost of addressing those challenges and objectives through the help desk outsourcing service.
4. Contract
Once you have approved the Proposal, then we create the Statement of Work (SOW) and Help Desk Outsourcing Agreement (HDOA). The SOW outlines the scope of the help desk outsourcing services with pricing and the HDOA is the legal agreement that references the SOW.
5. Implementation
Following your signature on an agreement with GHDSi, we begin the implementation phase. The length of the implementation phase varies depending upon your specific requirements. On average, your help desk outsourcing service can be up and running in less than 30-60 days. We've done some in as little as two days and others that are more complex and take 120 days. You will find our implementation process one that is simple and facilitates a quality and efficient support structure for your environment.
- IDENTIFY - We begin by performing due diligence and fact finding with you to identify all the systems and processes that the outsourcing services will affect. We partner with you to identify current strengths and weaknesses and areas for improvement in the current support structure. You share with us your expectations and we document them according to the categories of services to be provided. Business rules are identified that currently prioritize the daily workload. This is your most important phase of the project because planning, both strategic and short-term, is key to high ROI.
Deliverable: (Service Levels).
- DEFINE - Next we work together to begin defining everyday call workflow processes and the needed resources to work within those processes. But first, defining service levels by categories of calls and severity impact to your environment must be documented. After defining your caller's expectations, the project team designs the processes to meet those expectations.
Deliverable: (Standard Operating Procedures)
- IMPLEMENT - The new support structure will be implemented by having all phases of support tasks, activities and training completed by the agreed upon start date.
Deliverable: (Communications Plan)
- REVIEW - Here we work to evaluate the effectiveness and measure the efficiencies of the implemented support structure for the first 30 to 90 days. Surveys can be brought about to measure customer satisfaction with the new support structure. Questions that are typically asked include: Are customer expectations being met and/or exceeded? Does the new support structure provide time-to-resolves that aid in the reduction of downtime?
Deliverable: (Metrics and Reporting)
- MAINTAIN - During the lifetime of the partnership, our support team will work with you to facilitate continuous improvement initiatives. You are assigned a Relationship Advocate. This individual is your single point of contact (SPOC) on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Any issues, concerns or praises regarding our service can be addressed immediately with this individual. The Relationship Advocate sets the meeting frequency with your team and reviews the reports generated for the service provided. The relationship advocate our Quality Assurance (QA) team, and all operational management engage in a proactive effort to improve your customer service experience.
Deliverable: (Quality Assurance)
6. Go Live
The Go-Live date is set in the contract and is the date we begin taking your first calls. The Implementation project plan is centered on starting the outsourcing service on this Go-Live date.

"twigs" is a selection of songs recorded over a twenty-plus years time frame. all these recordings are pretty much just myself with some wonderful guitar work by my good friends Jon R. Goin and fellow vinyl kings member Josh Leo. with my last solo record being "marooned", which was released back in the early 80's, the songs on "twigs" represents a small example of what i'd written and recorded over the years since then.

Murrumbidgee River: Exclusive Use this Sunday
24 February 2012
Roads and Maritime Services has granted an exclusive use aquatic licence for the safe staging of a regatta on the Murrumbidgee River at Wagga Wagga this Sunday.
Maritime Regional Manager Murray/ Inland Scott Kidd said boaters should keep clear of the river from the Eunony Bridge Reserve to the Wiradjuri Reserve from 9am to 5pm.
"This area will be used exclusively for the safe staging of the Gumi Race regatta organised by the Apex Club of South Wagga Wagga," Mr Kidd said.
"For safety reasons, skippers should keep clear of this area as it will be restricted for the event and patrolled by control vessels."
Mr Kidd said unauthorised vessels would not be permitted to enter the exclusive use area unless authorised by event organisers, a NSW Maritime Boating Safety Officer or a Police Officer.

Born seven years before the independence of India from the British Imperial rule in a small hamlet a few kilometres away from the India-Nepal border, in Gorakhpur district of the the north Indian state Uttar Pradesh, Tiwari has never swerved from his roots. He has, in fact, strengthened them, made them visible and kept them alive, contrary to the natural order, in his writings. Presently he is serving as the president of Sahitya Akademi, the highest and the most prestigious national academy of letters in India, established in 1954, which has published around 6000 books till date, roughly one book per 19 hours in 24 Indian languages besides organizing a variety of workshops, seminars, conferences and talks on Indian literature and bestowing the most consecrated national literary awards each year. Tiwari continues to uphold the rich and diverse tradition of the academy, by being himself.
When I met him for first time he was clad in kurta, a traditional Indian long shirt, which he always wears along with a dhoti, the long loincloth, or with a pyjama, a pair of loose traditional trousers tied by a drawstring around the waist. He also had aalta on his feet, an orange coloured dye used for decorating the contours of feet, which immediately caught my attention. I wanted to ask him why he had aalta on his feet but it seemed too much for the first meeting. Some days later the topic came up and he told me that it was for a religious occasion that he had to put on the dye on his feet being the head of the family. In the sprawling, mega-urbanised and chaotic cities of contemporary India, you almost never see a person with aalta on his feet: it seems anomalous and yet at the same time, organic.
In his autobiography, Asti aur Bhavti (to be and to become), published in 2014, which almost reads like a novel, Tiwari engages the reader with truths, turmoils, philosophies, certitudes and discrepancies in the life he inhabits. His memories follow a progression, as it should be in the genre of autobiography, but regardless of that, his analytic and critical knife is set in motion from the beginning, and in an immortal kind of way it defies the progession of the autobiography. His voice is looking at his life from above, below, and laterally too. His voice is also meshed with the epoch, the times he has lived in.
The majority of India still lives in rural areas, and demographically speaking rural India is not at at all at par with the urban India. It is usually defined by epithets like backward, underdeveloped, traditional and orthodox. Tiwari's writings, his poetry, essays and other texts reflect an insider's narrative on rural India, as it is. It's neither glorifed nor used to breach further an urban/rural divide. Tiwari rather tends to introspect the interior for every question and every doubt he has: for instance he contemplates deeply on the confusions and tribulations he suffers while growing up regarding his choice of career when he was young and also when he first comes to the capital of India, Delhi, and gets intimidated while crossing the streets full of traffic.
Apart from glimpses into the inner working of mind and heart, what one can also read in Tiwari's autobiography and all the other texts is a historical view of the times he has lived, the political, literary and social aspects of the India he grew up in. His voice is also anecdotal, which summarises his journey passing through various milestones, big or small, and moments that have defined his own quest to be something or to just be where he stands today.
The reader of his poetry also experiences the philosphical and metaphysical aspects of his expressions. The richness of these expressions, from a lexical viewpoint alone, teaches the reader a lot about the reach of the poet, about his expanse. There's saying in Hindi: 'the poet touches even what the sun cannot touch', which is fully relevant in the case of Tiwari.
Before Sahitya Akademi Tiwari has also served as the head of Hindi Department at Gorakhpur University, known for its high quality research and academic traditions. He has been awarded many times for his contribution to Hindi literature and criticism and the list of most important ones is as follows: Vyas Samman, Birla Foundation, Delhi, 2010; Hindi Gaurav Samman, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan, 2007; Sahitya Bhushan Samman, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan, 2000; Pushkin Samman (Award), Bharat Mitra Sangathan (India-Russia Friendship Organisation), 2003.
His works have been translated to Russian, English, Oriya, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Marathi, Rajasthani, Bengali, Nepali and Gujarati languages; there are mostly Indian languages in this list than others. His academic and creative output is immense, with twelve books on research and literary criticism, seven poetry books, three travelogues and more than twenty books as editor. He also publishes and edits Dastavez (literal meaning: document), a literary magazine in circulation since 1978 that has a historical and invaluable literary value. Many of Tiwari's works have been subject of doctoral research and other books.
One important distinction between Tiwari and other contemporary Indian writers, especially those who have been translated to English and other European languages more, or those who directly write in English, is that he belongs to a species of intellectuals who don't gaze at the West to somehow perceive who they really are or what they would want to be. And as incongruent as it may seem, Hindi and other regional literatures in India, with almost eighteen official languages, have many authors and critics who belong to this species, more than one would like to believe.
In the end, a quote from the last line of Tiwari's autobiography:
"You inhabit every body in this universe, O Soul of the World! Forgive!
My journey started from darkness and I would have got lost in another darkness, unknown. I have thrown light on my doubts, enchantments and delusions - forgive me for this fault."
Tiwari's word is, undoubtedly, honest.

This guest post written by Phyllis Sollars, volunteer and foster for Last Day Dog Rescue and Public Protection coordinator, Emergency Preparedness and Response for DTE Energy.
The majority of us know what to do during a storm and how to stay safe; but what about our four-legged fur babies? With storm season on its way, we need to think of keeping them safe, too.
After working with dogs for five years as a volunteer and foster and working at DTE Energy coordinating our Public Protection efforts during storms, I've learned a thing or two about staying safe during severe weather and calming dogs during stressful events.
Below are some things that can help you keep your animals safe and comfortable the next time Mother Nature strikes. (Many of these tips can help with firework season, too!)
- Make sure your pet has some form of ID tag or microchip. Some storms can destroy or knock down fences, allowing pets to run away. Even if they're not runners, loud noises can scare them and cause them to take shelter elsewhere. ID tags and microchips assure you can be contacted should they escape.
- Your pet's behavior may change during a storm. Medications are available that can help reduce your pet's anxiety. There are items available, like Thundershirts, that can help your animal feel more secure. You can also try distracting your pet by engaging them in any activity that captures their attention and distracts them from the loud noises that come with severe weather.
- Make sure your pet is indoors. Never leave them outside during a severe storm. Pets should be provided the same cover as humans during a storm. They're also great companions during a storm.
- Drown out the noise of thunder and wind by running fans or playing calming music. There is an entire YouTube channel dedicated to this called, Relax My Dog.
- Keep a light on so they don't notice the lightening.
- Create a safe space for your dog to go – whether it's a crate, under the bed, the basement or a favorite hiding spot.
- Be aware of the surroundings. Make sure you check the yard before allowing your pet back outside. There could be downed lines, gaps in fences or other hazards. If you have debris in your yard, take your pet out on a leash until you know the area is safe.
- If your dog has extreme anxiety during storms, talk to your vet and/or a certified trainer. At Last Day Dog Rescue, we work with trainers, Mike Baughman and Chelsea Campbell from Beyond the Bark, who help us with some of our dogs that have high anxiety and other problems related to storms.
