Health and Safety bogus bans revealed
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has revealed that organisations are using bogus health and safety bans to cover up bad service or to avoid being sued.
An expert panel set by the HSE to expose health and safety myths says that such bans were being used to stop legitimate activities.
Such bans have included a ban on bubbles at a child's party and a restaurant refusing to serve rare burgers.
The HSE say that such bogus bans are overshadowing genuine health and safety issues.
In its first annual report, the HSE's new panel have found 150 cases of businesses and public bodies using non-existent rules to halt activities which are perfectly safe.
Among them, the panel reported bars that were refusing to fill pint glasses with handles and shredded paper being banned from school fetes.
Another case in Derbyshire saw a restaurant refuse a 42 year old man a toothpick on the grounds of health and safety.
The man told them that as a grown adult, he was happy to take the risk of putting a toothpick in his mouth.
A couple on holiday in a hotel were informed that the housekeeper could not make up a cot bed because it was a health and safety hazard.

Its dark by the time we finish work, the Christmas adverts have started, the temperature has dropped, the clock change is a distant memory… which means it must be Cross Country season! We'll cover that later as there is a huge amount of other SJ news to cover…
Starting with Wednesday evening and the penultimate Handicap of 2017. With the annual competition so tight all the main protagonists were out to either defend their positions or try and move up. On a very cold evening Paul Biggs was the winner on the night with a huge 2 minute 55 second improvement and he was one of three members to record season's bests as he returns from injury. On top of that seven runners achieved outright personal bests including four of the top five contenders for the annual Handicap competition.
It was such an exciting race with just four seconds separating overall contenders Jim Laidlaw, Jane Bannister and Royston Crandley but it was Martin Steadman who leapfrogged the others into the lead with his 59 second improvement netting him third place on the night. This has turned the table on its head; Martin now leads by just two points over Jim and Royston who are equal on points. Dick Newman missed this month and he along with Jane are too far behind in points to climb onto the podium leaving the current top 3 to battle it out on December 13th for the top spot. Jim has been Mr Consistent this year and hasn't missed a month but it's Martin who sits in the best position as he has a lower score to drop than both his rivals. Come along in December to watch the final battle…
Saturday morning was a wet one but it didn't deter eleven members from the toeing the line at Parkrun Frimley Lodge. Clive Rolfe was the first SJ to finish as he completed his 50th Parkrun in 19:57. Gavin Loader grabbed a Parkrun PB while simultaneously shepherding his kids to another great finish.
Another eleven SJs ran at Bracknell with Matt Jones the first member to finish in 22:27. Another week, another PB for Blanche Barnes as she continues to improve finishing in 29:15.
Just two members at Parkrun Rushmoor this week; Louisa Enriques finished in 28:24 and Dave Bartlett in 29:26.
Just one solitary Parkrun Tourist this week, the lowest on record (well my records anyway!) as Frances Parkes ran at Leamington Parkrun.
Richard Boese and Leon Hicks ran at the Remembrance Day Marathon on Saturday with Richard recording his best time at the event as he finished in 4:47:27 while Leon continues his remarkable quest finishing in 5:11:54.
Andrea Hadfield ran at the Dark Valley Half Marathon on a course that started at Moors Valley Park near Ringwood and the 5pm start meant runners had to run around the woods and trails under moonlight with just a headtorch to light their path.
Sunday saw Round 2 of the Thames Valley XC League hosted by Dachet Dashers on the flattest course of the series alongside the River Thames. Thirty-seven members took part on a sunny but breezy day. Injury ruled out a few of the regular scorers so it was impressive to see other members step up with some great performances on the day. We'll share the results when they are available…
Another busy week on Strava with seventy-eight members logging runs. To take part in this just create a free Strava account and link it to the club in your profile. Here's the top 10 from last week:-
Please let me know if I've missed anything and share your results and achievements in the future so the rest of the club know what you are up to.
As always keep a look out on Facebook for details of the weekday evening runs.
Monday: Patrick will be leading the usual Monday night chatfest leaving Sandhurst Sports Centre at 7:30pm and covering approx. 6 miles. This is one of the most sociable runs of the week and a great opportunity to catch up with friends or discuss the preceding weekend.
Tuesday: Mike, Monica and the other run leaders will be leading multiple groups to cater for all abilities from beginners through to faster and more experienced runners. It's perfect for novices and those coming back from injury or a long lay-off because you can start with an easy group and work your way upwards. The run starts at Sandhurst Memorial Park this week starting at 6:30pm. Later the interval sessions will meet at The TYTHINGS in Yateley at 8pm.
Wednesday: Andrea Vincent and Sharon Burfield are the General Members for the Wednesday which leaves from Sandhurst Memorial Park at 7pm. The run will cover approx. 5-6 miles over roughly an hour. Runners run at their own pace and loop back as needed.
Thursday: This week the threshold/improvers run will feature a special STAR guest. Louise Small, GB Athlete and just general all round lovely person, has offered to show us some warm up drills and conditioning exercises that she does before every run. These exercises are suitable for everyone and will benefit your running by helping you to run with better form and warm your body up to help prevent injuries (something we could all benefit from during the winter). This is a huge opportunity to meet and work with a GB athlete on their journey to Tokyo 2020 and we're honoured to welcome Louise to our Thursday run. As this is such a rare opportunity, we'd love as many of you as possible to join us to give Louise a huge SJ welcome and to show her what a great club vibe we have. There will be paces for all speeds and shorter route available as well. Plus a post race visit to the pub (venue TBC)
Friday: Track is still free and the coaches have some great sessions planned for all abilities to improve fitness and technique.
Sunday: Anybody not racing can join the crowd running from The Lookout at 9am. It's a flexible run to suit everybody's needs and is either adapted to fit with distance targets or multiple groups are formed. The three 'Cs' of Coffee, cake and chat are enjoyed in the cafe post-run.

Euro Classics: Ronnie Whelan's scissor kick against USSR, 1988
June 4th, 2008
Surely this spectacular volley from the Republic of Ireland's Ronnie Whelan signalled the end of the Soviet Union. Or maybe not given that the USSR managed to draw this group game and force their way into the final. Yorkshire's Mick McCarthy launches a long-throw in and ginger Dubliner Whelan does the rest. A Jack Charlton-era Republic of Ireland goal scored by someone born in Ireland. Priceless.

June 2nd, 2008
Blast from the past, via Phoenix from the Flames Fair play to Houghton for subjecting himself – and his country – to utter, total humiliation.

Euro Classics: Davor Suker chips Peter Schmeichel, 1996
June 2nd, 2008
Denmark goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel races all the way back from Croatia's half to get back to his own penalty area. And for all it matters he might as well have started breakdancing on the centre-circle. Schmeichel makes it back to his goal-line just in time to run out again and be lobbed by Davor Suker. As elegant a chip as you are likely to see.

With the country being so close to the UK you can get there quickly by train or ferry, there is no excuse for not being able to take a holiday in France, whether it is for a mini-break or your main annual holiday.
There are plenty of reasons to do so, with Paris – the country's capital – often proving the main destination for many tourists who flock to see famous attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and to stroll along the Champs-Élysées. Whilst this might sound like the obvious route to take, it may not be such a relaxing holiday if you find yourselves amongst the masses going from one popular attraction to another.
Instead – to get a real break from everyday life – stay in one of our luxury cottages that offer all the modern conveniences and luxurious extras that you do not get to enjoy at home.
From such a relaxing holiday base, you can explore the coastal region of Brittany with its great beaches and reinvigorating sea air.
Those who like a bit more activity than strolling along the coast will enjoy cycling through Normandy, which is a great way to take in the beautiful scenery and admire abbeys. There will be something for everyone, from the history buff to the wine connoisseur.
Whether you want to take your sense of adventure a little further, or you are a seasoned skier, a trip to the Alps will be an exhilarating experience that will enable you to enjoy the wonderful views, as well as travelling down the slopes as fast as your skis or snowboard will take you.
Following a satisfying day on the slopes, you can return to luxury cottages with hot tubs where you can really let your muscles unwind after the exertions of the day.
The historic region of the Loire Valley is a must for those who are keen to sample some of the finest wines in France. Seeing the actual vineyards in the region where the wine is produced will help you to appreciate it even more when you savour a glass or two.
Whether you are motivated by food or architecture, culture or history, France will satisfy you in the same way that our luxury cottages to rent will satisfy your need for relaxing accommodation. When you decide to take a well-earned holiday in France please browse our outstanding selection of luxury cottages.

He discussed some of the games achievements, downloadable content, and he also let them know that the game has been delayed another two weeks. You may have noticed that Monster Madness was not on store shelves yesterday that's because it is delayed till June 12th. Why? He tells GamingTalkHQ in this Q&A.

One Trade Deal Is Dead, But No New Deal on NAFTA. Status: In Progress.
The president pitched himself as a great negotiator who would rewrite decades of trade policy to better help American workers. He kicked off his presidency by withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, keeping one of his promises toward this goal.
He vowed to renegotiate NAFTA, but after four rounds of talks, there's no new deal yet. Citing "significant conceptual gaps," negotiators said they would continue talks into the new year.
The president promised to leave the Paris climate agreement, a nonbinding deal among countries that aim to reduce climate change voluntarily, and announced to fanfare that the U.S. would drop out. The agreement doesn't technically allow countries to leave before November 2020, and officials later said the U.S. will still send a delegation to participate in all meetings until then. Trump has said the U.S. will try to renegotiate the deal to better serve U.S. interests, something other countries say isn't an option.

Hola Penelope!
Ever since her incredible appearance in Volver, I've always been a huge fan of the stunningly gorgeous Penelope Cruz. Last month I got to meet the Spanish actress on the set of her new movie Nine, and last night she invited me to a private screening of her new movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona at the Mayfair Hotel in London
The movie, directed by Woody Allen, is a charming and very funny love story with an incredible cast and a director who captures Barcelona in a way that makes you want to head to the Spanish city forever!
Penelope plays Maria Elena, the estranged and unhinged wife of local artist Juan Antonia, played by Penelope's real life boyfriend Javier Bardem. It's an amazing role for Penelope and a brave one. Not only does she have to play a mentally ill but hugely talented artist, she also has an intimate love scene with Scarlett Johansson (yes - they DO kiss) and on top of all that has to watch Javier sleep with all the female characters.
Apparently it was water off a ducks back for Penelope, who is still happily dating her Spanish hunk . In fact, she told me the hardest thing was adapting to the speed at which Woody worked.
'It was decided in a minute and a half meeting that I would do the film,' she recalls. 'It was so fast working with Woody. He's a genius. I'm used to longer periods of rehearsing but I knew he would protect us. On the last day of filming when I had to go psychotic I asked for ten more takes. I went into a crazy state,' she told me. ''Woody was very patient and gave me nine more takes then he ran away off set so we couldn't shoot anymore!'
The film has already won a Golden Globe and Penelope is up for best supporting actress at the Oscars next month. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the Latin lovely who is quite simply a knock out in VCB. If you want to see a beautifully shot movie and have a good old laugh, see the movie as soon as it's out!

Heard Guild Museum Native American Arts Festival
In Phoenix, Arizona the 61st annual Heard Guild Museum Native American Arts Festival also known as the Indian Fair and Market, celebrated this years 3-day event with over 600 artists and performers from different tribes and various regions.
The Native American home decor, furniture, wall art and other indigenous creations were presented by each vendor displaying their works for sale as people flooded from all over the nation to view and to purchase their collections.
Each vendor's table displayed the artist name and the tribe of origin. This allowed visitors to explore the different styles associated with a particular tribe as both a learning experience and as a chance to own pieces created by them.
The handmade artwork included traditional handwoven baskets, wooden kachina dolls, pottery, jewelry, beadwork, sandpaintings, sculptures, paintings, fetishes, glasswork, ceramics, rugs and attire. The incredible artistry brought to life the many tribes in both the U.S and Canada.
Variations on traditional styles gave a contemporary spin to some of the home accents and artwork. Some modern designs included monoprints of native american portraits, tribal designs and native american imagery on snowboards and converse sneakers covered with unique and brightly colored patterns.
Performers included Native American song, dance, poetry and story-telling.
The festival presented an opportunity to engage with the artists, to learn about their artistic process and to better understand the various meanings and symbolism behind their artwork.
For example, similar to Tibetan monks, the medicine men will create sand paintings during a healing ceremony for temporary use. When the ceremony is finished, the paintings will be wiped away. At the Indian Fair and Market, the permanent sand paintings were displayed for sale and the temporary sand paintings were on display to demonstrate the process of the medicine man.
Handmade cradleboards, for instance, serve the purpose of cradling newborn babies until they can freely move on their own. They are used to keep the baby tightly secure for posture, warmth and safety. When no longer needed, the cradleboards stand as beautiful and memorable home accents.
Another example are Native America Kachina or Katsina dolls. Several tribes create Kachina dolls but the Hopi primarily create them. The dolls are used for story-telling and each one represents a different story. Some symbolize traditional stories passed down through the generations while others represent stories that the artist created themselves.
Native American artwork is filled with a rich history and artistically orchestrated symbolism. Their style of artistry will live on as a shining presence in the foundation of North and South America.
The Heard Museum Indian Fair and Market and Native American Arts Festival is held only once a year, however, the Heard Museum has an on-going exhibition called "Home: Native People in the Southwest." This exhibition features vintage and present day artwork from numerous indigenous tribes for visitors to appreciate and to explore.

September 28, 2016 | Monetary Policy Has Failed… Here's What's Coming Next
WATERFORD, Ireland – Stocks got a little tailwind push yesterday… with the wind coming from post-debate commentary.
It looked to many pundits that Hillary had prevailed. She belled the cat.
This was good news to the stock market. Hillary is "business as usual."
The Dow rose 133 points.
Grand Opening
We're in Ireland for the grand opening of our new international headquarters.
Like so many other things in life, this project didn't take us where we wanted to go, but it probably took us where we ought to be.
Operating from Ireland, we had hoped to get tax advantages.
Ireland has a low corporate tax rate – just 12.5%. But as it turned out, we are unable to shelter income here… because we have so little income to shelter.
Our new headquarters is mostly a cost center, not a profit center. We support our operations all over the world – with telephone and computer services, for example.
Still, Ireland is an agreeable place with friendly people. Almost everyone is ready to have a pint with you.
And you don't have to worry about air conditioning or watering the flowers.
Epic Fail
Meanwhile, we were shocked to see in the Financial Times – yes, the "pink paper," no less! – a sensible article on current central bank policies.
Our heart raced. Our pulse sped up. A light sweat gathered on our forehead.
What is going on? we wondered.
The Financial Times is the mouthpiece of the international Deep State. It is solidly behind Hillary… NATO… the EU… QE… ZIRP… NIRP… the phony credit dollar… and just about every other cockamamie perversion of civilized life.
And yet… there it was… in Monday's edition. William White, head of the OECD's economic development review committee:
The monetary stimulus provided repeatedly over the past eight years has failed […] Debt levels have risen […] Consumers have had to save more, not less, to ensure adequate income in retirement.
At the same time, easy money threatens two sets of undesirable side effects. First, current policies foster financial instability… and many asset prices bid up to dangerously high levels. Second, current policies threaten future growth. Resources misallocated before the crisis have been locked in through zombie banks supporting zombie companies.
On the demand side, accumulating debt creates headwinds, leading to more monetary expansion and more debt […] On the supply side, misallocations slow growth, which again leads to monetary easing, more misallocation and still less growth.
Regular Diary readers will recognize this analysis. It is more or less what we have been discussing in these pages for the last eight years (minus our pointing the finger of blame at the post-1971 dollar).
That this critique has moved from the back alleys of the Diary to the main street of the Financial Times is an important sign.
It is a sign of desperation.
The Establishment is in need of a new program. New magic. New hocus pocus that will keep this swindle working.
New Hustle
Not that the Establishment is ready to abandon its activist meddling or give up its racket.
It depends on the system now in place to move trillions of dollars of other people's money in its direction.
But monetary policy is clearly not doing the trick. And the insiders are now coming to terms with it. They need a new hustle.
Fiscal stimulus!
They want the government to spend more money. Where will it get more money?
It will borrow it, of course.
This is what Larry Summers has been calling for. It is what Paul Krugman wants.
Our friend Richard Duncan at Macro Watch believes it is essential to avoid depression.
The Financial Times has been in favor of bigger government deficits (aka "fiscal stimulus") since the crisis began.
But never before in the mainstream media have we seen it backed by a realistic understanding of how the Fed's policies have failed.

Ok, if you think I am just playing with numbers then fine. But I am not, the results should tell you that here.
As far as I can see you are just playing with Richard's Bible Database
Ok, if you think I am just playing with numbers then fine. But I am not, the results should tell you that here.
So how is this playing with my fantasy ?
And the only thing I am unsure of here is in the Creation Holograph with number 216 = Com(168).
I am not sure if the composite order should be "Inverse Alpha, Alpha"
or 100 + 68 "seven hundred seventy and seven" (Heb red)
I think I will go for 100 + 68 "seven hundred seventy and seven" in the future.
But this is no play.
Edit: It is changed now.

Incredible codes is what it is.
But you don't know the ultimate riddle or code.
So everything will not make sense here for you guys, ok.
But you see in the first page of this thread; a lot of connections to physics, & 777 + "The Seal of God".
+ messages like "In the beginning", "universe"...
As long as I get you guys to see that; then my job here is complete. But you can't really understand why until you see the ultimate code.
I just can't share that because it is the high point of my book, sorry you will just need to wait.
We are born in sin so we do know good and evil. We have a conscience that tells us when something is wrong.
Now these codes are full of riddles & they reference riddles; expecially the ultimate one. You see alot of referances to it in my first page, even referances to the ultimate code. so your conscience won't help you so much here, it's more about knowedge, perception, dedication, understanding and wisdom.
So i will try for the last time to explain why Alpha is so important to the best of my knowledge since this is very advanced physics after all.
So in short words here, Alpha is is about physics concerning particles & it is connected to physics of electons, speed of light + moreFrom Wikipedia
In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as Sommerfeld's constant, commonly denoted by α (the Greek letter alpha), is a dimensionless physical constant characterizing the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. It is related to the elementary charge e, which characterizes the strength of the coupling of an elementary charged particle with the electromagnetic field.
Based on the precise measurement of the hydrogen atom spectrum by Michelson and Morley,[21] Arnold Sommerfeld extended the Bohr model to include elliptical orbits and relativistic dependence of mass on velocity. He introduced a term for the fine-structure constant in 1916.The first physical interpretation of the fine-structure constant α was as the ratio of the velocity of the electron in the first circular orbit of the relativistic Bohr atom to the speed of light in the vacuum. Equivalently, it was the quotient between the minimum angular momentum allowed by relativity for a closed orbit, and the minimum angular momentum allowed for it by quantum mechanics. It appears naturally in Sommerfeld's analysis, and determines the size of the splitting or fine-structure of the hydrogenic spectral lines.
Now go to this link in Wikipedia and read everything under "Physical interpretations" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant
Now understand:
- The fine-structure constant (α) is encoded in the First element Hydrogen
(Image taken from: https://www.biblegematria.com/the-mysterious-137.html)
- The fine structure constant involves the electromagnetic interaction to particles, which again is connected to electron and the speed of light.
- The fine-structure constant (α) is foundational to light, since electrons and light are the same thing in different forms.
- Light was created in the First day of creation
- The fine-structure constant (α) is encoded in the Hebrew Genesis 1:1 in several ways both in and around the verse. (I have not even given you all codes in Genesis 1:1 yet about Alpha) And it is the First verse of the bible.
- The First word of the bible is "In the beginning" & Inverse Alpha is nearly the value of "In the beginning" in English
- The fine-structure constant is notified as"Alpha" (α) the First Greek letter
- ordinal of "Alpha" spelled out in Greek is: Αλφα 1+11+21+1 = 34 "One" (Eng ord) = Pri-ord(137 (Inv. α))
- Hebrew reduced for "In the beginning" = 13 "One" אחד = Pri(7) [137 encoded in "One")
- Hebrew ordinal of "In the beginning" = 76 --- 7+6 = 13 "One" אחד
- "In the beginning" in standard = 913 = (9 "and" --- 13 "One" אחד ) [9 = "And/But/For/also/now/then" δε de [Matt 19:26]] = Pri(6 "and" ו) X Pri(24 "hiding" מחבא (ord)) --- 6X24 = "Alpha Codes" Αλφα κωδικούς (ord)
- The fine-structure constant is ranked as the First in importance in physics & it is the most mysterious number also
If you don't understand why Alpha is important now then at least i tried.

I can't see how that has anything to do with the subject about the codes.
Because this thread is really all about codes in the Bible.
And to stress that then I will have to share the TV of Vs(46 "codes" (Eng ord)) now since we are at page 46.
- TV of Vs(46) = 137 (Inv. α) + 729 (α) + 777

In the garden of memories are blossoms, some bright and large, some tiny, exquisite, some untended bushes and shrubs, the garden in disarray as each of them came at different points with different feelings, to colour them There are dark shadows, some clouded in fine mist, a glimpse just beyond of an elusive memory.
And there are some blossoms, a flower in particular, that is designed with a special touch – that holds a special fragrance of yet another world of memories that, when you touch it, you smile, your are transported to another plane; but now the heart squeezes as that flower you see, only in a memory, and not around you. Not anymore. For this flower has gone on to blossom in a bigger, brighter astral garden, tended to by Her. (Him/Her, as is. I like Her!)
I revisit the garden. In fact I've been middling along there, ever since Saturday last, 28th January, 2012, to be precise, when I heard the news. It took long to believe what I was hearing – called out from Class, that morning, when Varsha called to give me the news by phone – and it will take even longer to accept. But, certain bitter truths and sorry realities, grim though they be, we must face.
And, so it is. So it is.
Joseph George Earali, a different stroke of the Master's paintbrush went on to become part of His collection. A fateful accident snatched away an only son from his parents, a fond grandson from his grandmother, a true friend from all his mates. He was just 20.
And a favourite of mine. Through the years.
They say teachers and parents are not to play favourites; but what does one do, when someone like Joe comes along and coolly takes over your heart? (And sometimes gives you heartburn with it, 😀 )His engaging grin, his laid back, easy going demeanour, his never-say-die spirit (oh, the irony!), when it came to arguments, analyses in classes (Julius Caesar, Ode to the West Wind, come to mind here) his earnest excuses for homework not done (because, you see, his dog needed him more!), his sometimes obstinate dog-with-a-bone stance (how he would love that description!)
When he was in the fifth, he began to come out of his shell, a bit, – he found his niche in the Drama put up for the School Cultural Competition. Around 1999 August/September, if I am not mistaken.
He got to be a Minister, with his cohorts, Anjali Viswanath, Amith Poonath, Sreenivas, Nikhil Poduval, and others. We learnt, or rather Anjali learnt, how to get a dhoti tied, the "palasaar" way, from home, and some parents, including Joe's mother, and I got to the daunting task of getting these kids tied up in it 🙂 It was hilarious. The boys, bare chested (esp the King, and the Ministers), got to wear my fancy mirror work waistcoats too 🙂 Joe's passion for acting was evident right here, and it went on to stay with him, for the rest of his school days. That drama is special to me, will always be, and it is one unhesitating, welcome memory!
"All the world's a stage,
men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances…"
Wrote Shakespeare, in "As you like it". He came onstage, wowed himself and us, and left before we could say it wasn't time!
After Class 5, we next met, in class, in 2005, when I was his English Teacher in Class 9 and later in Class 10. Ah. Testing times for them, and interesting times for me. The vibrancy of that class astonished me from Day one. Usually the Class 9 kids are cocky, pushing limits to behavioural dares, and generally trying desperately to make a teacher lose her temper 😀 . You know how it is. You've also been there , done that. At least from one of the two sides, or both sides of the Teacher's Table ( as I have 😛 ).
That particular class was a throbbing amalgam, a crucible of talent, oomph, looks, brains, and craftsmanship. There was Rasheen, talented, a collector and creator of things, the musical and dance talents of Chitra, Roshni and others, the ambition and determination Anjali (not to mention her dramatic skills as well) – she went on to become the topper at both the Class X and XII Boards, at school – the quiet but vocal enough presence of Varsha (fierce competition for Joe, on stage too!),and Ah! I cannot forget Dencil and his "gang", always adding to "events" in class.
And there was Joseph. He stood out. I would not say, in physical stature – he was of average height, slightly rounded – and though he liked to spend more time outside class, on the ground (which self-respecting student does not? 😀 ), I would not call him "atheletic" , no Sireee, I would not! His friends know! But he probably knew all about the games, even if he did not play much! He brought much that was "hatke" into the class, creative ideas, different perspective, and the wealth of his voracious reading. Sigh. Those were the days.
Voracious is the only way to describe his appetite for books. Interesting, his grandmother said the same thing, when we went to visit with his family. I understood.
I remember, once he tinted his hair, a light brown, I think, in the same class. It glinted in the sunlight, and that is how he got noticed. Well, obviously :D. While he remained unfazed at our protestations (unwritten rule, you cannot do this in school 🙂 ) we had to admit that it did make a difference, telling him, because we never had to talk to him about it again.
Ok, I should not be playing favourites, but I have a theory as to why there is this connect we had. Perhaps the rebel in me connected with the runaway in him. Maybe. My perspective. 🙂 Joe, well, Roshni, one of his closest friends tells me, just the other day, he "adored" me. I'm flabbergasted. No, way beyond that. She also tells me that he would never ever admit it either. But he did, to her. That finds resonance, deep within. His parents said that he spoke of me, and his Class Teacher, Vasantha, with the same fondness. They say how grateful they are that the Bhavan's here gave him an opportunity to discover his talents, his passion, and build his confidence. Smiles wreathed our faces as we launched into animated discussion about him. It's like that with Joe. We each had our own special special moments to recall!
That is why this is written, because, though I never got a chance to tell him, he will be just as special to me. Always. In fact, his friends speak of the "connect" which seemed obvious to them in class! Varsha talks of how the whole class would sit back, once Joe got up to "clear" a doubt. Frankly, except for the fact that the portions seemed to lag, always, in my class, I welcomed those arguments, and discussions. It was very hard to convince him of something unless… well, there was no unless, with Joe! 😀 . He'd begin with "But, Teacher, I think/ don't you think that…" . He remained unconvinced that Julius Caesar was not ambitious; that Shelley was not influenced by Tolkien and his "Lord of the Rings", when he composed "Ode to the West Wind". He converted me to being a fan of "Lord of the Rings". (My first born, Arjun, started it, but he made sure of it! 😀 )- so I was lucky, just lucky that I knew about LOTR and its author when he asked the doubt :D!
To have been a favourite teacher of a child makes you blessed. Especially if that child is someone you've been fond of, but been stern and strict with, at the same time. That he/she has gone beyond the stern façade and found something worthy to look up to. I'm flummoxed (of course, Joe's concurrence to this fiction is assumed 😛 😛 ), and deeply honoured. I'm blessed. Oh yes, indeed!
Joe, with his creative streak, was extremely so, especially at Exam time. He could write up a storm but most often off topic :D. Sounds familiar to many of you I think. It is a familiar scene from my own school/college days. However, on the other side, with a different coloured ink to write on the same paper, well, it becomes difficult! I wished I could have given more marks, only because he knew, and he knew I knew he knew; he would instead treat me to a treatise of some unusual perspective. His grandmother recalls this incident, where he told her that he had written so much for the exam, but he did not get good marks. He mentioned also that he realized that he had gone off the track! So I humoured him and me, telling him where the answer could be improved. Of course he already knew. So did I 🙂
He was deeply involved in stage performances. Be it acting, which he did with such aplomb, or behind scenes, scripting, planning digital backgrounds, doing voice-overs for the Annual Day, Voices of India programme. In Class 9 – class drama "Mirabai" was the once in a life time performance that had us in splits- He, as Rana Sanga, Mirabai's father in law, was supposed to tell Mirabai that she should worship only Goddess Durga – and with all the fire and rage, he gave it all he had – "You WILL worship KRISHNA, Mirabai", he said, and stomped off… leaving us speechless, momentarily, then breathless, holding our sides in laughter! Of course, though he was a bit put off, he still was proud of what he did 😀 :D. That class, I tell you was something else!
The same year, for Annual Day, we had a drama, scripted by one of our teachers, Ms Preeti Neelakantan, on the life of Vivekananda. Guess who auditioned? And he did not want to be Vivekananda. We had a stalwart, perfecto Swami in the form of Aravind Menon, of my son's batch; no, Siree, Joseph wanted to be a King, with the works, in costume, hair,
moustache! He wanted flowing hair, and a really heavy moustache. Getting him ready in that costume was hilarious! The kids were ready, and the programme was getting delayed. Now, you have to understand how this costume works – the King's and all those who had the dhoti contraptions. You had to tie the flared part of some shapeless cloth
aroung the waist, TIGHT, then loop a lot of frills and stuff, between the legs, wrap around once again, tie around the waist. Then you have a sort of long tail, hanging down the front, which is again to be looped and tucked in at the small of the back. He wiggled, complained, and once everything was in place, he said, Teacher, what if I want to go to the toilet? Hummphrrrfffff :D! I gave him a LOOK. And he said, Oh it's alright, OK, teacher :P!
That drama was such fun, getting the boys ready, having kids right from the Primary to Class XII – the Vivekananda! And learning from the internet, how to tie a saree the Bengali way, having the narrators all attired in Bengali traditional dress. Such nostalgia. Have shared only pictures where Joe has shown up here 🙂
Much has been spoken about this batch, especially lately, while each of us were thinking of him. A lot of good stuff, and lot that could have been different. I told Roshni, when we met at his house, that day, that I see him in class sometimes, even now, a "doubt" growing in his eyes, and how I remember him from our classes together, those years ago. She came back with a teary smile, she said, "Outside class, teacher, that was where he was most of the time; except perhaps English class." True to a great extent. In Class XI, I never got an opportunity to meet him inside the class, but outside, well, sometimes, he would be at the door of a class going on… you know what that means, don't you? 😀
Though I met him only a few times outside school, after he left school, we did not "talk" much. He was with his best buddies, Arjun Varma, and Vishnu Menon. Theirs was a friendship quite apart. I spoke briefly to them, looking more to talk to Joseph. We did not really, but I knew we would catch up later, sometime, and talk of things. I was so sure of it. Though he was doing his B.Tech. and had put his creative plans on hold for a bit, that he would get there was a certainty. I knew we'd get back to discussions on it. Nothing would stop him. Nothing could, I told myself. How wrong I was!
And then that got me wondering about his friends too. If we, in our chronology, and our so called experience of life find it hard to accept such harshness from life, I wonder what it is doing to his friends. I know this one thing though, that he was blessed to have those friends, and they too were to know him. I'd like to reach out to them too, and tell them I understand, but would that be anywhere near the truth? How can one understand the way another accepts, or does not? I only hope that they are moving towards knowing how magical, how almost perfect it was, knowing Joe, and remembering the good times and laughter, to get them through all those times when the world, like that stage, darkens.
He's gone on to weave a tapestry of his ideas and thread them with his words, for the Blessed, Above, and left us groping in the dark. The stage is darkened, and though the curtain will never fall upon his time on stage – the light that shone on him, for now, has dimmed a bit to a silhouette and vivid flashes in our hearts and minds.
Joe your life has been a joy to share in, in whatever way we could. And this is just a celebration of it. The Good Lord is probably being entertained to your version of the Lord of the Rings right now, I guess. Peace. And prayers for you, always.

The Class 5 drama photo has been shared by Anjali; the Vivekananda Drama photos have taken from Sarawathy's FB album on the entire drama. Will share the album once I get Saraswathy's permission 🙂

Haynes, Jo and Jones, Demelza ORCID: 0000-0002-5985-1972 (2012) A Tale of Two Analyses: The Use of Archived Qualitative Data. Sociological Research Online, 17 (2). pp. 1-9. ISSN 1360-7804Full text not available from this repository.
This article provides a unique contribution to the debates about archived qualitative data by drawing on two uses of the same data - British Migrants in Spain: the Extent and Nature of Social Integration, 2003-2005 - by Jones (2009) and Oliver and O'reilly (2010), both of which utilise Bourdieu's concepts analytically and produce broadly similar findings. We argue that whilst the insights and experiences of those researchers directly involved in data collection are important resources for developing contextual knowledge used in data analysis, other kinds of critical distance can also facilitate credible data use. We therefore challenge the assumption that the idiosyncratic relationship between context, reflexivity and interpretation limits the future use of data. Moreover, regardless of the complex genealogy of the data itself, given the number of contingencies shaping the qualitative research process and thus the potential for partial or inaccurate interpretation, contextual familiarity need not be privileged over other aspects of qualitative praxis such as sustained theoretical insight, sociological imagination and methodological rigour.

Whenever I call my father, our conversation starts out in exactly the same way. He always answers the phone as if startled to remember that it exists, clearing his throat before saying, slightly hesitantly:
In turn, I reply as though I am surprised that he, in particular, answered the phone, despite the fact that I am the one who called him.
"Defenestrate! What's going on?"
"Not much," I say, "what about you?"
This conversation repeats, without fail, every time we speak. It's a sort of ritualized dance that we do, in reverse when he calls me, regardless as to what the call is about. I could be bleeding out in a ditch in Uganda and we would still have to go through these lines before I could get to the heart of the matter.
I was thinking, the other day, about the fact that my father and I are both secretly very orderly people, with set routines in our lives which we really do not like to have disrupted. Every morning, my father gets up and brews a pot of coffee, taking a cup back to bed with him to listen to the radio and read a book, or look over student papers. It doesn't matter if he gets up at 5:00 AM or 10:00 AM, this procedure is followed without fail. Four miles away, when I wake up, I brew a cup of tea, make up a bowl of yoghurt, and sit on the porch if it is sunny and at the table if it is not, reading while I drink tea and nibble on my breakfast. Woe to the person who disrupts either of these morning rituals.
Sometimes I think that my father and I are conservatives in rebellious clothing. Any sort of major change to the order of our day must be carefully considered before being acted on. Examples include having to fix a malfunctioning electrical circuit, going into town to purchase some vitally needed ingredient, or, god forbid, going outside the 10 mile radius of our homes which forms our habitats. Every now and then, one of us appears to do something alarmingly spontaneous, but it has in fact been carefully calculated, with all permutations considered.
I am becoming more like my father as I get older. When I was younger, I probably would have despaired at such a thought. But, when I moved home, I realized that this was not such a bad thing. As I become more like him, my temperament is mellowing, although I may never reach his state of profound unfazedness in the face of danger, whether it come in the form of a watermelon collapse at Harvest, a runaway train, or a dangling participle. I have begun to pick up my father's speech patterns, his way of gazing blankly at someone proposing something utterly foolish, his way of offering advice on a situation without directly appearing to do so.
I always think that it's rather preposterous to set aside a single day of the year for appreciation of fathers. The role of fathers often seems gravely underestimated, especially when it comes to single fathers struggling to raise children in a world which pours support and praise on single mothers. (This is not to say that single motherhood is easy, rather than single parenthood, period, is not easy, and fathers deserve some props too.) I am sure that I am not the only maddening, perplexing, and tempestuous child on Earth, and sometimes I wonder why my father didn't just dump me in the library one day with a "free to a good home" sign.
I know that some of my readers have become fathers since last Father's Day, and that they may be introspectively pondering their fatherhood at this very moment, as the greeting card industry very much wants them to do today. In a few years, they can eagerly anticipate macaroni art, graduating to useless tools and then, perhaps, phone calls. It makes me sort of sad, sometimes, that we live in a society where expressing love and respect for parents is reserved for one day in the year.
Although I am not a parent, I imagine that parents probably reflect on their awesome responsibilities at least once a day. I know that I had to hold a baby the other day and I still wake up in a blind panic, so I cannot imagine a life where I couldn't give the baby back after it started to chew on my hair. Children, on the other hand, don't seem to think about their parents nearly as much, and this is rather unfortunate. I think of my father at least several days a week, and sometimes I am spurred enough to pick up the phone and call him. I have greatly appreciated the way in which our relationship has grown over the years, and at least once a week I call upon my father's wisdom to get out of a sticky situation, formulate an appropriate response to a horrifying statement, or cook a recipe successfully.
My father and my Chinese mother dropped by the other day for some peach pie, and we sat on the porch eating it while we discussed the Mystery Tree. My Chinese mother asserts that it is, in fact, a peach, explaining that multiple fruits grow on the same branch, and that you need to thin the fruits when they are young to grow big healthy peaches.
"But I think it is diseased," I said, while my father accidentally dropped a piece of pie on his shirt.
"You need pee pee," she says, somewhat mysteriously. Sometimes we make errors in syntax, so I wonder if perhaps she needs pee pee. "Pee pee and lots of water," she says. "You pee in bucket, then water, no smell, big healthy peaches!"
"Ah," I say.
"I'll bring some fish emulsion by later," my father offers.
"No," she says, "pee pee."
"Ah," we say, before my father cuts another slice of pie. In this moment, I think about the things we have given up for each other, and I am happy.
I am hazarding a guess that all of my readers either have, are, or know fathers. I hope that all of you enjoy this delightfully commercialized June holiday, and that those of you who have fathers find time to appreciate them more than once a year.
[Father's Day]

HOTP Silicone Stamps
Viewer Comments
Your newest silicone stamps are awesome! Thanks for clarifying the difference between the clear stamps. As always your cards and charming and beautiful!
Love all the techniques and stamps used...
You sample cards are beautiful. Thank you so much.
Wonderful stamps and techniques!
I saw on Simply Ann, that you should use an artist eraser on your stamps before stamping. I tried it and I am so pleased with the incredible sharp image.
I love, love, love these stamps. I have the houses ( I LOVE Houses and trees). Getting On Butterfly wings next month and hopefully we will get the Janie's Furry Friends next in the stamp club. Love all the beautiful ideas and can't wait to try them. You both are fabulous!!!!!

Well done ladies
Great Videos and Products. I have been with you from the beginning.
You gals have the best job in the world getting to play with all the goodies you handle at paper wishes. I am so envious and enjoy every webisode. Thanks for sharing your fun with us.
I note on the stamp sets that it says acrylic stamps. What's the difference between acrylic and silicon that you referred to earlier in the webisode
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Acrylic is a term to mean clear stamps not rubber stamps. Hot Off The Press stamps are clear but they are made out of silicone which makes them firmer but allows for fine detail.
Great stamps and beautiful cards with so much inspiration!!
The only set I don't have yet is the On Butterfly Wings. I'm sure I'll be getting it soon. Oddly enough, I think I will probably get the most use out of that chain stamp. I can think of dozens of ways to use it. I could hang just about anything from the top of my cards with that.

"Slinky Malinki was blacker than black,
a stalking and lurking adventurous cat."
If ever there was an author who's books begs to be read aloud, Lynley Dodd is she. The tale of Slinky Malinki wraps itself around your tongue and the adventures of this rapscallion cat, charming and perfectly well behaved by day, but a mischief maker extraordinaire by night, unfold with perfect cadence.
It's a strange analogy I know but the only way I can describe it is to say that it's like reading music; it's the same feeling I get singing in close harmony, listening to my voice move to the next note and hearing how it has been perfectly placed at that pitch and that moment to give depth to the whole. Lynley Dodd's words have the same precision.
I don't know whether it's the cat connection, but there's something about Slinky Malinki that reminds me of TS Elliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and the poems Dad used to read to me at bedtime when I was small. You get the feeling that Skimbleshanks and Slinky Malinki would get on rather well!
Sniff Snuff Snap by the same author was our gateway to children's picture books when Kitty was still very tiny, and it too is a firm favourite around here, but for Kitty at the moment, the cat beats the warthog, possibly because she just loves trying to say Slinky Malinki, or "Slinky Maninki" as she calls him.
After each of his nighttime raids on the local neighbourhood, Slinky Malinki gathers up all of his loot and takes them home, and Kitty loves to join in with:
"He pulled them,
he dragged them,
he HEAVED them until…
he'd carried them home
to his house on the hill."
and if ever I find her reading the book to Elma, that's the bit she remembers.
Of course our feline friend can't get away with all this naughtiness for too long, and after one last epic raid he comes to a sticky end, and has to mend his ways, but that naughtiness is his charm, especially to Kitty (and I suspect a large number of other tiny people) who thinks that someone else being cheeky is absolutely hilarious (particularly if it's Mummy or Daddy)!
And judging by the very Slinky Malinki-esque attempts at making off with the book whenever Kitty's back was turned, I rather suspect that we have another small fan in the house.
Do go and say hi to Lucy and Kelle and see what they've been reading, and if you've seen something you think we all ought to be reading, please join in the linky.

Lauki was one of the most loathed veggie during pre-marriage days. The very moment my mom stopped at a vendor to buy the veggie, I used to be making all sorts of weired faces to give her the indication "please mom, dont buy this, …..yuck" n when she did not give into my tantrums, it used to further put me, "you do whatever you want, but you just cant make me eat that stuff". The only form I would let this subzi pass my throat without any forcing from my mom was, disguised as a "kofta". The other forms would have had to inevitably be gulped down with a glass of water, (of course escaping my mom's eagle eyes) coz she wouldnt let me budge without finishing the food on my plate.
Reading the above it would be difficult to imagine that me, Shella, is posting a recipe on this veggie. If my mom ever reads this, she will probably fall out of her chair, coz she still doesnt know that I am not averse towards this subzi anymore, let alone taking a liking to it.
Now you might wonder how all this happened. All credit goes to my MIL. My MIL has a knack of making the most dreaded subzis into delicious dishes in the most simplest of ways. I have picked up this amazingly simple recipe from her, and it really is one of my all time favorite. Beleive me or not, I buy a minimum of 1 kg of lauki every week!!!! And this one dish, is presented before my husband on a weekly basis.
I will not delay in any more talking, but give you the privilege of going thru the secret.
1 – big lauki / ghiya / bottlegourd, scraped and diced into chunks
1 – aloo, scraped and diced into smaller chunks
1 – big onion, chopped.
1 tsp – kadugu / mustard seeds
1/2 tsp – haldi
1/2 tsp – garam masala
1/2 tsp – amchur
green chillies as per choice or use red chillies
Method –
In a pressure cooker, add oil a little less than you actually need, and over this add a tsp of ghee (you can totally omit the ghee, but this is one of the secret ingredients of the recipe). I have made this alteration of adding just a spoonful of ghee over a period of time. Not adding it makes a world of difference in the flavor.
When it is hot, add the mustard seeds (the second secret ingredient, try adding jeera instead of this, and you'll see the difference yourself). Let them sputter.
Add the chopped onions
Now immediately add the lauki and aloo together. Laukis releases a lot of water while being cooked, therefore, if you are washing it immediately before putting into the cooker, there's no need to add water, but if it is pre-washed and quite dry at the time of putting in cooker, just add about 1/4 cup of water.
Add the turmeric, salt and the chillies.
Mix all this with the spatula ensuring that the subzi is coated with the turmeric. It should be a nice yellow colour.
Close the lid and wait for one whistle. Lower the flame and let cook for about 5-10 mins.
Wait for steam to pass and open the lid.
Now light the gas again and put the cooker on the flame.
Add the garam masala and the amchur.
Using the back of a ladle mash the veggies coarsely, dont make a paste out of it, just beat them up to blend with the masala.
Let any watery gravy evaporate.
Garnish with corriander leaves
Serve hot with chappatis, parathas or chawal.
The trick lies in getting the colour, which comes with experience.
I hope all of you try this dish once and you will surely add it to your staple recipes. It is that good.
I will post a picture when I make the dish next.
Dtd – 10/09/07 – As per my promise I had made lauki today for our tiffins. Am posting a photo right from our lunch dubbas. The big one's hubby dears & the small one's mine.

Clear some space on your bathroom shelves; cult niche fragrance house Le Labo has a launched body, hair and face line.
Online now, the plant-based products boast the brand's suitably chic apothecary aesthetic and claimless message.
"Free of any promise other than making you feel good while using it," is how they're positioned on Le Labo's website.
Unashamedly simplistic, there are single versions of each product; one shampoo and conditioner, one face mask, one lip balm, one hand lotion - you get the idea.
They're all 'genderless' (although they have just launched separate men's grooming products, too) and – as you can see – make for pure Instagram bait. Get in there quick.

This means choosing a diet that emphasizes vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Rather than a restrictive diabetes diet, it's a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. In fact, it's the best eating plan for anyone who wants to manage his or her weight and adopt healthier eating habits.
Carbohydrate counting can be a helpful meal-planning tool, especially if you take diabetes medications or insulin. Eating the same amount of carbohydrates at each meal or snack will keep your blood sugar from going too high or too low throughout the day. If you're taking insulin, your diabetes educator can teach you how to count the amount of carbohydrates in each meal or snack and adjust your insulin dose accordingly.
The amount of protein or fat in the meal or snack generally isn't a factor when determining the insulin dose. However, that doesn't mean that you can go overboard on low-carbohydrate foods or those that don't contain carbohydrates, such as meat and fats. Remember, too many calories and too much fat and cholesterol over the long term may lead to weight gain, heart disease, stroke and other diseases.
Some people who have diabetes use the glycemic index to select what they eat — especially carbohydrates. Those with high glycemic index are associated with greater increases in blood sugar than are those with a low glycemic index. But low-index ones aren't necessarily healthier. Those that are high in fat tend to have lower glycemic index values than do some healthy foods.
If you're counting carbohydrates, work with your dietitian to learn how to do it properly to meet your specific needs.
Your dietitian may recommend using the exchange system, which groups foods into categories — such as starches, fruits, meats and meat substitutes, and fats.
One serving in a group is called an "exchange." An exchange has about the same amount of carbohydrates, protein, fat and calories — and the same effect on your blood sugar — as a serving of every other in the same group. So you can exchange — or trade — half of a medium baked potato (3 ounces) for 1/3 cup of baked beans or 1/2 cup of corn because they're all one starch serving.
Your dietitian can help you use an exchange list to figure out your daily meal plan. He or she will recommend a certain number of servings from each group based on your individual needs.
