The morning of Sunday 23rd June dawned bright and sunny however the forecast was not good for the afternoon. The Pavilion Committee had done a super job of preparing the field for the event so that games and other outdoor activities could be held. The Coconut Shy, Clock Golf and Splat the Rat were set up and lines marked out for the sports events.
Parents and children started arriving and games etc. got underway until the rain came down an hour later. A couple of the games could be enjoyed indoors so were taken into the Pavilion. It was such a shame as all who came were prepared to take part in something on the field and be rewarded for their efforts.
The Strawberries and Cream went down well too. The Regeneration Group says a huge thank you to all those individuals who helped make the afternoon such a success, whether they had donated refreshments, cakes, raffle prizes, money or given of their time, we are most grateful. Thanks must also go to the local shops – they are always willing to display a poster and help out when they can.
It was a fun afternoon which will be repeated next year.

From time to time this blog has examined religious claims, as well as their underpinnings. In this two-part series I want to do this from the viewpoint of theodicy – which is the argument (or counter-argument) that the nature of evil in the world leaves open the nature of a hypothetical God in terms of the cosmos as it is. Note that in some cases atheists have argued that theodicy and the encounter of evil in the world (natural or human) is so formidable that it excludes the existence of a deity. I don't want to go that far and will explain why in subsequent instalments. For now I will only say that it's feasible to "square the circle" regarding God, the attributes of God and evil - so long as one loosens the conditions for the divine attributes!
First, let's examine the naturalist-atheist's premise, which can basically be summed up thusly:
If pervasive evil (natural or human) exists in the world and:
is allowed to continue unabated despite a claim for an "infinite God" then either:
a) God is powerless to stop it, in which case God is not omnipotent or infinite, or
b) God chooses not to stop or limit it, in which case God is a sadist or evil himself
Some religionists in order to counter one or both points have tried to interject "free will" but this doesn't work for the following reason: if one person's (e.g. victim's will) is not operative, then it is only a one-sided will, so what was done to help the person of passive will or incapacity of will?
For example, several years ago a report emerged of a ninety year old invalid woman in a nursing home raped by one of its attendants. The woman was cerebrally and physically incapacitated so had NO free will. She was, in essence, preyed upon by a person whose job it was to assist her. This is human evil in its most malignant form.
Now, a truly beneficent deity would not allow this to occur, but would act (according to Kai Neilsson, 'Ethics Without God') at least to the minimal standard of a decent human parent. Thus, if a human parent were to observe (e.g. using a remote monitor) a baby sitter about to assault his or her baby, he or she would intervene forthwith – not wait for the baby to "make up its mind" whether it wanted to be assaulted or not! In like manner, a true beneficent or just deity would intervene to prevent the elderly woman's rape in a nursing home. Perhaps by causing the perpetrator to stumble and break a leg, or whatever. Anything but inaction!
Yet, in the world as it is, all we see is inaction when even the most vulnerable are predated.
I once had occasion to bring this up in an argument on theodicy to a Christian friend in Barbados, some three years ago. The example was the case of an 11-year old Florida girl who had been abducted by a known sex offender, then repeatedly raped and buried alive. I asked my friend how or why any truly just and merciful deity would countenance such an evil act- by standing by and doing nothing.
He was intelligent enough to grasp that the "free will" argument wouldn't cut it- since the girl was snatched at a mall, bound and gagged with rope and duct tape and effectively had no free will. However, the response he gave remains to this day one of the most bizarre and cruel I've ever heard- for a Christian to attempt to escape the logical vice imposed by his own theodicy.
He said (and I copied this word for word):
"God, since he is all –knowing, could probably see in advance to what she would become in ten years. Perhaps he saw that she would become a prostitute and go to Hell. So, in his wisdom He intervened and allowed her to be killed while still young and before her sexuality developed. So from our limited vantage point it was a horrific crime, but for her it meant dying in innocence and seeing God!"
Of course, I raked him over the coals for this vicious answer, first noting he'd just given the perfect excuse (intentional or not) to kill for any child predator! Second, the maniac didn't just "kill" her. According to then press reports he defiled-raped her repeatedly before burying her ALIVE. If my Christian friend's answer had any remote ring of plausibility then her predator would have simply killed her, full stop. No raping or burying alive! Third, it begs the question and confects a hypothetical FUTURE evil (becoming a prostitute) – to justify God's inaction in the present to spare the girl a REAL evil! There is no proof, after all, the girl would have mutated into a prostitute, so the justification for God passively allowing her murder and torture in the present is the far worse evil. Thus, God plays the role of an evil, diabolical parent.
Now, this begins even more serious and severe problems for the theist. For example, if God is indeed all-knowing, He had to know before all time what would happen to this girl. He foresaw the evil deed, and yet – despite this foreknowledge (which few earthly parents have the benefit of) he allowed it to unfold. Allowed the girl to be abducted, then taken away by this sex predator to be defiled and killed in a brutal, horrifying manner.
But let's go beyond even this, to the nature of an alleged "designer" who could even fashion (or enable to be fashioned, or "created") such horrific people as the sex offender, or for that matter Pol Pot, Attila the Hun, Hitler or Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer. Note here again that "free will" can't be the universal answer since it begs the question.
We know from genetics studies, for example, that a certain chromosomal type or genotype (XYY) is much more prone to criminality. We also know that certain individuals are already born with brain damage and deformities which affect critical regions of the brain – such as the amygdala- which propel vicious and criminal behavior. We also know that certain tumors growing in key regions of the brain can incept such horrific behavior. For example, the Texas shooter – Charles Whitney – who shot and killed more than a dozen people from the tower at the University of Texas-Austin in 1966. It was later found a brain tumor likely drove his homicidal urges.
Now, if a proposed designer could manufacture (create) human beings with such deformed brains, and also know it – know their deformity will lead to evil acts – is he not also responsible? After all, we are holding the Toyota car makers fully accountable for evidently making cars that don't respond to the brake pedal, and just suddenly accelerate – posing a hazard on the highways. Should not God also be held accountable – IF we posit he has the capability of a "maker" and Designer?
One would think so!

A major source of learning in MBAs is through case study competitions. It lets you do some of your most meaningful work. Solving real life business problems for Mahindra, ITC, Phillips or HUL gives you a great rush. There is also great motivation of huge prize money and PPO/PPI. Here is a list of things that help you get cracking at competitions.
A Structure: Even the most spectacular ideas will fail to make it if they lack a proper structure. Things should always be logically connected and backed by empirical evidence. It is imperative to explain why out of so many alternatives you choose a particular solution.
Innovative Idea: At the end of the day, this is where the buck stops but it is good to limit the boundaries in going out of the box. Sometimes in our endeavour to be innovative we come up with something impractical and impossible for the company to implement.
The Team: Almost all competitions need you to work in teams. So you cannot afford a one man show here. Diversity in the group is also important. It helps to have people with different skill sets in the team so that while one takes care of financials, other does your analytics.
The Presentation: Most of the competitions will also need you to submit your solution as a PowerPoint presentation. So your PPT making skills would be very important. Proper alignment, efficient use of space and the overall look and feel of your presentation is what will finally make or break your case.
A Differentiator: When everybody works on the same case there is bound to be some overlap in the ideas. This is why you require a differentiator in you final presentation. A unique video, animation, some new model etc. is required to separate you from the lot.
Learning from Mistakes: It is very difficult to find mistakes in your own baby and while working on these cases your solution becomes your baby. Although it is difficult to accept faults in your solution in case of defeat. It is a good practice to look out for shortcomings and learn from them.
The Fudging: Analytics and consumer insights is a lot about how good you fudge your data. It is almost impossible to come with effective market research at our levels but one is expected to do it. So, a lot will boil down to how effectively you manipulate your data to validate all your insights.
The Art of Copying: Copying is an art which serves one well (look at Pritam!). But it requires a lot of effort. If you are an avid reader who keeps eyes and ears open then you will come across a lot of successful campaigns from around the world that are simply mind blowing. If you are able to borrow from these with an Indian twist then you have a killer solution.
The Luck: Yeah that b***h again!! It is impossible to win a competition if you don't have luck on your side due to the subjective nature of the judgement. You can only increase you probability of winning by participating in more and more competitions.
PS: This advisory comes from someone who has won absolutely nothing but has been a keen observer. So if you think there is a set process to success, there is none.

The summer is long, and hot, and far too sweaty. In the heat, there's nothing better than the right song to take you away. To celebrate the season, we wrote about our favorite songs of summer, which span the years. Crack a beer and press play.
Charli XCX - "Boys"
It's almost absurd that there's even a discussion about the best summer song. The best one is Charli XCX's "Boys", a campy bop about the joys of blowing off commitments. Traditional summer songs steer into the skid of over-achievement, bumping out paeans to travel or dance or spending your hard-earned emotional currency on a short relationship with a hot bozo. In short, most summer songs are protestant work anthems in the key of Abercrombie. "Boys" is something else entirely, an opus built on the gonzo sonic foundations of the Super Mario Bros coin sound, airy pads trembling like heat waves off concrete, and, of course, the word "boys" over and over again. Charli sings "I'm sorry that I missed your party, I wish I had a better excuse … But I was busy thinking 'bout boys." That's what summer is all about: Bartlebying out of plans to dream, refusing to optimize your fun and just letting your head spin. — Erik Hinton
Blood Orange - "Time Will Tell"
If you live in a city, the height of summer is foremost about one thing: the inescapability of bodies. I don't mean this in the metonymic sense that has become fashionable of late, but the literal leaky, smelly, friction-prone flesh prisons that trap us all. Nothing captures both the dread and possibility of summer skin like Blood Orange's "Time Will Tell" from his 2013 album Cupid Deluxe. Even though the reminder that "it is what it is" seems open-ended, the song manages to sound humid and close. There are many people, myself included, who find this track a bit embarrassing but so is almost everything about our hottest, horniest season. When Dev Hynes repeatedly pleads "come into my bedroom," you know it has air conditioning. — Brandy Jensen
Childish Gambino - "Pop Thieves"
Okay, let me address something: This is an extremely horny song. There's no other way to say it. Childish Gambino literally says, "I know you miss this di— ...love." The song has very little lyrical variety, and mostly just refrains "make it feel good" for several minutes. But for me, this song invokes the state of mind that's unique and specific to summer: having no evening classes or obligations, unlike the academic year. When I listen to this song, my heart rate drops, my surroundings escape me. It's the way that I arrive back into my own mind.
I've never listened to the song out loud, or with another person. Back in high school, it was a song I played in my air-conditioned car with the windows up, completely alone. Since moving in New York, it's a song I put on after a day at work, walking down chaotic streets with my headphones in, searching for a moment of solitude. So here is my personal recommendation: this summer, take a long walk, watch the sunset, enjoy the warm air, and make sure this song is on your playlist. — Caroline Haskins
Mark Morrison - "Return of the Mack"
Once I hear the first three notes of that Tom Tom Club sample, it's over. Physically, I may be on the couch or in the line at the bank or something. Mentally, I'm on a beach at an undisclosed location. There's sun, sand, ocean, bikinis, me in sunglasses a chain and a smart suit, for some reason. Me and my two backup dancers are here to walk confidently along the surf. "Return of the Mack" is about none of these things, but it is about stuntin', flexin', and stepping out to remind anyone who might of forgotten that you are the shit. Summer is nothing to me if not the promise of rebirth as a slightly cooler, more relaxed, more fashionable person. And whether or not that ever actually happens, this song makes me feel like things the future's bright. This is going to be the best summer, the best weekend, the best three minutes and 33 seconds of the entire fucking year. — Ann-Derrick Gaillot
Fetty Wap - "Trap Queen"
Every time I hear Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen," I am forced to reckon with the stupefying fact that I there may never be a better summer song in existence. It's hard to imagine that anything could ever beat the synth-inundated trap track, which in the late spring of 2015 seemingly came out of nowhere. "Trap Queen" spread like wildfire and played everywhere and anywhere, into its entire summer. I didn't mind one bit. When I hear Fetty Wap's autotuned quasi-mumble start off with that simple "hey, what's up hello," I can't suppress the want to yell out along with him.
I In 2015, there was no desire for anything but unabashed joy, no want to mull over anything too serious sounding. "Trap Queen" is only as high stakes as you decide it to be — in three minutes and forty-two seconds of pure romance, Fetty Wap manages to declare his love for his girl, details his proud gaze as she packs cocaine bricks with him, and rejoices in his eagerness to "buy her everything." His love for her is meant to be broadcasted out to the world, in high school parking lots, at very fun weddings, and especially in cars zooming down the highway in the summertime. The booming outro boasts that Fetty Wap sounds like "a zillion bucks on the track." It is an extremely correct statement. — Melinda Fakuade
Ty Dolla $ign - "Love U Better" ft. The-Dream and Lil Wayne
Each of Ty Dolla $ign's three Beach House mixtapes are stuffed with tunes that feel as if they were created by a team of extremely stoned scientists in an R&D lab whose sole purpose was to crank out one objectively perfect summer jam after another. While Beach House 2 may be his strongest project — it starts with an orchestral dubstep song where Ty sweetly sings about his girlfriend finding a condom in the trashcan and ends with him duetting with himself over a contemplative chiptune beat — "Love U Better" is, quite literally, a perfect song. Featuring guest spots from The-Dream and Lil Wayne, both of whom treat DJ Mustard's stuttering chipmunk-soul beat as an opportunity to flash the stylistic wizardry that was once routine for them, "Love U Better" fuses sunny optimism and exuberant horniness in a way that makes lyrics like, "Pull up on your girl with my roof gone / Pull up on your girl with my jewels on" feel like they're the ultimate expression of romantic fidelity. It's all silly, hyperactive nonsense, the sonic equivalent to you and your friends plopping your feet into a kiddie pool, closing your eyes, and believing that you've made it all the way to the ocean. — Drew Millard
Swae Lee & Young Thug - "Offshore"
This song tastes like a quarter water on the shore, feels like a fresh pair of linen shorts, and is smoother than melted coconut oil. An album cut on Swaecation, I expect to hear this song on plenty of Beats Pills on the beach. — James T. Green
Grouplove - "Tongue Tied"
A true summer jam has to sound good enough to get people hyped when played in three specific environments: Blaring full-blast from the speakers of your friend's shitty car while you're driving above 40 miles per hour with the windows down (smudged sunglasses optional); partially muffled by the wind and general cacophony of any rooftop event after 3:30pm; and playing from someone's smartphone on the beach after the portable speaker you finally remembered to bring dies.
"Tongue Tied" by Grouplove nails all three, and then some. Though the track originally appeared on the band's 2011 debut album Never Trust a Happy Song, the unbridled euphoria expressed by its dreamy lyrics and poppy beat are about as trustworthy as it gets. The hook is catchy as hell and easy to shout at the top of your lungs while you try and forget about our shitty, depressing reality — and despite what critics may have said at the time of its release, Hannah Hooper's rapped verse is pretty damn smooth too. — Paris Martineau
Magic! - "Rude"
The first time I heard "Rude," I was pretty sure someone was fucking with me. What was this reggae backwash, the sound of four frat guys starting a band after staring at their Bob Marley posters for too long? Was its sudden popularity a declaration of war from Canada, where the band originated from?
But very slowly, and very surely, "Rude" won me over. It went to No. 1; I heard it coming out of cars and bars as I walked along in the summer heat, my pace as unhurried as those cookie cutter riddims. There was nothing original or novel about the song whatsoever, but the existential question posed in the chorus — "Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too?" — seemed deeper and deeper, the more I thought about the banality of human cruelty in a bong-induced state. Why do you gotta be so rude? Why don't you know I'm human, too? It's the only thing I want to ask when I see someone acting like a cock on the internet. Hearing it transports me to a backyard where the sun is shining, the burgers are grilling, the bottle of Bud Light Lime has uncapped itself in my hand, and my friends are smiling and laughing and having a lovely time, none of us suffering the effects of rudeness. Also, the Zedd remix makes me feel like I'm Mega Man about to fuck up some robots. — Jeremy Gordon

Doing Business in Virginia
Talking about good business ideas in Virginia, there are lots of opportunities there to make it real quick. Recently, Virginia was crowned one of the states that have top rate in terms of starting a business, this as a result of survey conducted by CNBC. It is quite easy to register a business name and obtain you full business license in this state.
If you are planning to move down to Virginia to start up a business, I think you are not making a mistake and if you are already in Virginia but couldn't find white color job I thinks it's very necessary for you to sit down and pick one out of this varieties of business ideas in this post.
Let me tells you, if you are living in Virginia and can't make a living, shame on you because Virginia is indeed a fertile land for any kind of business you can think of under the sun.
Though not limited to these, these are most valuable, reputable and profitable businesses you can open in Virginia.
CV Writer
This is a creative and profitable home based business idea in Virginia. Findings show that there are numbers of people in Virginia that are still looking for where to work. This is as a result of poor written curriculum vitae, and its power in securing a business is beyond imagination.
If you are so good in writing and presenting meaningful and worthy information, then take up a CV writing service to helping Virginian graduate and unemployed citizens write a prowess and professional CV's. Before you realized, your pocket will have been overflowed with cash especially if you take this business online. No vice!
Newbies Recruitment Consult
I'm glad to tell you again that you can make wave and have impact in the whole of Virginia and its environs, how? Good question. Establish a recruitment consultant company or firm and pally with different companies and organization by helping them out to fill up any vacant positions with the best and competent candidates suitable for such position.
Opening a unique restaurant business is not a joke especially in traffic areas of Virginia. Starting one in Virginia can seem to be a somehow complicated venture; before you get the capital, best traffic area or location, legal process and finally attracting customers is not easy, but immediately you paddled and sailed through, you are in money, believe me. This food business provides several business franchise opportunities you can startup.
Real Estate Agent
Being a real estate agent in Virginia as a newbie in the business won't be easy at first, but your ability to cope under such pressure and frustration is what will determine your success. I wouldn't love to mention figures but trust me a real estate agent in Virginia is a very lucrative business idea and they earn an agape figure as salary. Therefore, learn everything it requires you to know and start your own estate agent consultant firm real quick if not soonest.
Mobile dog grooming is not a bad pet related business idea in Virginia, it's paramount to give dogs proper maintenance and take good care of their health. Major Virginian who has dogs prefers their pets to be groomed in their compound so as to see and monitor the process. Hence, mobile dog grooming become a very viable small business in the state.
Catering Service
This is another booming food business especially around Northern Virginia Beach. You can take up this self employment business with token and land yourself in a greater height if really you know where you are going.
Supply your client with a nice aroma spice up with fantastic sauce and you can spread your wings by supplying all spheres of ceremony like wedding, birthday, funeral, graduation and others. The good thing about this popular woman business is that it profit margin is always high in as much as you know how to handle and manage the available resources efficiently.
E-Travel Agency
You can venture into online travel agency by taking very serious the affairs and the traveling needs of Virginian and its environs.
Language translation services (L T S) is another minority business opportunity you need known. If you are bi or multilingualism, you can make a living through your talents even as a student by helping others read and translate their documents, write interesting speeches for them in other languages. Organizations and major companies need your assistance in translating for them, go meet them and let them pay for your service. No knowledge is wasted!
To crown it all, whichever businesses in Virginia that suits your taste and you've chosen to kick start, make sure you put into consideration a proper and comprehensive business plan, go for documentation where necessary, by so doing you are a successful businessman or businesswoman already. I value you!

18 Nov South Asian Christian Youth Network
The countdown is now on, with the delegates arriving for the 2014 conference in Dubai in the coming days. The theme this year is "South Asian Diasporas: God's new communities in Mission"
Tan Kang-San, Stephen Edison, Vinod Victor and Lee Loun Ling will all be there representing AsiaCMS and to help organise and deliver teaching.
South Asia Christian Youth Network (SACYN)
South Asia Christian Youth Network (SACYN) is a network of young leaders in South Asia. The concept has taken the form of a network in 2002 in Bangalore, India. This network was formed with a mission to build connections with church and mission at local, regional and global levels; and enables the South Asian Christian youth to be integrated, related and committed to both the local and broader community of which they are part.
Our Mission: To encourage, motivate and enable South Asian Young People basically from the region's churches to link up, overcome barriers and work together for the Gospel and Kingdom of God whilst being continually strengthened as a networked movement of young peoples in mission.
Our Commitment: To help a generation to live the kingdom experience enabling them to transcend all possible boundaries that separate people from people.
So far SACYN had meetings in various countries in South Asia and that has helped to build bridges, nurture strong personal relations between the future leadership of the Church in south Asia and has been a useful vessel in training and equipping our young people on issues and challenges which are relevant to the Church and the Christianity in Asia today.
SACYN provided the forum for young people of South Asia to meet together annually as a Core Group and quadrennially in large numbers in different countries. Those were occasions not only of meaningful fellowship but also of serious theological and biblical reflections. We have in the past discussed issues like globalisation, indigenisation, peace, conflict resolution, youth culture and several such pertinent themes.
The Dubai meeting scheduled to be held from 22nd to 29th November 2014, at the Holy Trinity Church, Dubai will deliberate on the issue of Migration and the Conflicts of the Diaspora. The theme for this meeting would be "South Asian Diasporas: God's New Communities in Mission". There are many migrant workers from South Asia who live in the Middle East and the meeting will deliberate on the aspirations of identity of the diaspora communities. The SACYN core group meeting in 2014 will also explore the issue of Migration, the exponential growth in migrant labour and reflect together on the Christian response and responsibility in this context. The meeting will also look at the Identity Dynamics of the Diaspora in the context of migration and challenges of migrant labour.
Tan Kang San (Executive Director, AsiaCMS), John Chhetri, (SACYN Coordinator), Raj Patel, (Asia Manager, CMS UK), Vinod Victor (Advisor)

11 Secrets to Success
Decades ago when I subscribed to the Investor's Business Daily, they had an inside section called IBD's 10 Secrets to Success. I clipped out that section, and every so often would go over the list to make sure I was following it. I am sharing it with you all, and archiving this valuable, yellowing scrap of newsprint.
Here the authors do not provide any philosophies or elitist quotes, but simple gems. Not to write in your diary with flourishes, or share on twitter or Facebook, but to apply to your life, every day. This is the real stuff. My pithy comments in parentheses. And could not resist adding a 11th.
- How you think is everything:
Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment. (Avoid gossip and don't believe it.)

Don Meera
When Meera was a baby, every time I wore my shades, she would reach for them. I would then mime Main Hoon Don, Don, Don! Soon, Meera came to associate dark glasses with Don!
When we passed stalls on Colaba Causeway selling dark glasses, she'd point and say, Don, Don, Don! SO I had to get her these oversized shades. She'd wear them all the time.
Here is Meera at a gathering in Mumbai. It was well past her nap time and she was super tired, but she persevered and did not get cranky. Verily Don Meera! Continue reading "Don Meera"

Embrace Infant Incubators
A global partnership for children, including the WHO and UNICEF, report that annually, 4 million babies die within the first 30 days of birth. Why are 4 million babies dying? Concise 2 and 1/2 page article. The common causes are infection, birth asphyxia and premature (including low birth weight) births. Premature and low-weight babies are particularly susceptible to hypothermia and need to be kept warm.
In the well-off world, such babies are placed in expensive incubators (costing upwards of $10,000), while vital signs are monitored and stabilized. In much of the developing world such luxuries do not exist and babies continue to die off. Multinational medical device companies are quick to donate expensive equipment to far off locales. Consider that in places where infant mortality is very high, there is likely no electricity to power incubators and no trained personnel to operate them. Most of the equipment is completely useless and gathers dust.
This lack of understanding local constrainsts leads me to believe that most expensive equipment donations are made primarily for tax right-offs and a way to showcase social responsibility to shareholders. But thankfully, social entrepreneurs in small teams are continuing efforts to develop baby incubators for the developing world.
Here is a creative solution by EmbraceGlobal: A sleeping bag-like device with an add-on warming pouch. It does not require electricity, is portable and costs $25. At that price, they are near disposable and can go home with the baby. Most likely, parents don't have anything nicer to put the baby to sleep in.
A Neonatologist I spoke to voiced concern that for critical babies, it is important to be able to see the chest of the baby rise and fall as it breathes. I think this can be addressed by a zipper (or velcro) on the sides of the bag. These will also make it easier to get the baby in and out of the bag, and provide ventilation.
I think $25 is still a steep price for essentially a wrap-around quilt. If folks can build a laptop for $100, then such a sleeping bag should not cost more than $1! Yes, One dollar!
Any of you have ideas for modifying the designs to address local needs? Can this be made of locally sourced materials? How about involving micro-finance based women's groups to fabricate/assemble them locally? This could improve their livelihood as well. Perhaps this may trigger other solutions in the local populations.
Make it for $1! Any takers?
Shri Rām: The Holy Name
For city bred siblings, summering at our grand parents' home in Bhatkal was essential nirvana. In the orchard we tied strings to dragon flies and watched them jet away. We foraged for bird eggs in old trees. With sling shots we brought down mangoes, not because our aim was any good, but because the trees were laden with fruit. Listening to abbu (grandpa) in his pharmacy store, we learnt a smattering of Kannada and many more swear words. On dark nights without power, gazillion fireflies flickering on mud walls, guided us home. Continue reading "Shri Rām: The Holy Name"

A lot has been left unanswered in the wake of Andrea's death. Most I know will never be understood or ever discussed. Most I understand as unknown and can live with it. I will never know why Angel took her from is then himself. I will never understand how you love people so much you would rather take them with you and end their life.
In the years preceding her death I did not have much contact with her. I saw almost everyday. She was a customer at my store, I saw her at family events, passed her on the highway. But our interactions were not of a niece and aunt who loved each other the way we once had. I will always live with that. That she never knew me as an adult, really. That she will never know my Aiden- whom she would have loved!!! He reminds me of her sometimes.
I know that all the hurtful things between my moms family and me will never be resolved. But I do know that love and time does heal. I am realizing the resentment is fading. The pain I felt walking into my grandparents home is subsiding. I know it may never go away, but it's fading. I am happy I no longer feel that anger. I know that if I allow myself to continue thinking about it, it will creep back up inside. But for now it sleeps. It sleeps deep within. Because spending time with my family has begun to heal those wounds. I may not understand why it had to happen but in the end I learned- I learned to let it go.

Because the seed is so fine it needs only a light covering of clean sand, or the seeds can be mixed with dry sand and the layer of seed and sand spread in a thin layer on top of the sowing medium. Water with a fine rose to avoid displacing the seeds. Keep the trays damp but not wet and out of direct sun in a warm, but not hot, situation. Germination takes 1 to 2 months. Transplant the seedlings when they are about 10 mm high. Grow on in light shade until they are established.
Take semi-hardwood heel cuttings in late summer, autumn or spring. Treat with a rooting hormone suitable for semi-hardwood cuttings. Place in well-aerated medium, under mist on heated benches (24°C). Pot the rooted cuttings in a well-drained, acidic soil medium and harden off in light shade for a month or two. Although the species can be propagated by cuttings, because of its short, dense branching habit, it is often difficult to find suitable branches to use. Look for bushes in more shady positions where the growth is more elongated. At Kirstenbosch, we almost always propagate this erica by seed.
We are in need of this species! Can you help? Maybe you have this species at home, or perhaps you can collect seeds or cuttings (if applicable) from friends or from a public space. If so, why don't you help establish this species in areas where it is much needed!
Conservation status: Least Concern
This species was selected because it has various important characteristics.
Sensitive roots
Good potplant
Easy to grow
Suitable for clay soil
It provides food for:
Southern double-collared sunbird

IBC News: Ikegami, InPhase Partner on NG Storage
By Glen Dickson
Camera manufacturer Ikegami is teaming with Longmont, Colo.-based InPhase Technologies to provide an innovative archiving solution for users of its disk-based Editcam camcorders.
The Japanese company has signed an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) agreement with InPhase to sell its high-capacity holographic data-archiving systems under the Ikegami name. InPhase has developed a laser-recording technology that can transfer video onto a 300-GB, clear optical disk at a transfer rate of 160 Mbps and store roughly 35 hours of broadcast-quality video. The system is currently being tested by Pappas Telecasting and Turner, and CBS and NBC have also expressed interested in the technology, says InPhase VP of marketing Liz Murphy.
The initial product resulting from the Ikegami/InPhase agreement will be an Ikegami-branded 300GB external holographic drive associated with a PC that is designed to be a cost-effective, tapeless solution for archiving large video files finished on nonlinear editing systems and acquired with Editcam and Editcam HD tapeless camcorders. EditCam users, who will continue to use disk or solid-state storage for acquisition, will be able to port content to the InPhase discs via a Firewire or FTP connection.
"They'll basically be using it as data dump," says Murphy, who is demonstrating the holographic drive at IBC.
Each InPhase optical disc is enclosed in a rectangular cartridge that slides into the holographic drive, which will sell for around $15,000. The optical disc itself doesn't move at all while it is being read by the drive, which is a selling point with broadcasters, says Murphy.
InPhase says that storage costs for its holographic discs equate to about 50 cents per gigabyte. But the major appeal of the technology goes beyond pricing issues, says Murphy.
"It's not tape."
Harmonic snags satellite, telco deals
Video encoding and infrastructure supplier Harmonic has won a deal from Telenor Satellite Broadcasting to provide the Norwegian satellite operator with IP-based satellite uplinks using a range of Harmonic encoding products, including its DiviCom Electra 5000 MPEG-2 encoders, DiviTrackIP distributed statistical multiplexing and ProStream 1000 digital splicing technology.
Telenor, which through subsidiary Canal Digital broadcasts over 200 channels over one million Norwegian households, also signed a frame purchase agreement for future sales of Harmonic products.
Harmonic displayed its newest MPEG-4 AVC standard- and high-definition encoders at IBC, as well as the ProStream 2000 MPEG-4 splicer, showing four 1080i HD channels compressed in a 25 Mb/s stat-mux group.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company, which recently acquired video-on-demand firm Entone to broaden its cable and telco offerings, also announced that is supplying MPEG-4 AVC encoders to German telco T-Com Germany (part of Deutsch Telecom) for its fledgling IPTV video service, and FLXLink optical transmission gear to Maygar Telekom for delivering high-speed data to multiple dwelling units (MDUs) in Hungary.

One is a big-bucks Democrat who out-walleted much of the rest of the list all by himself.
Others include a trio of investment bankers, a noted restaurateur, an owner of the Chicago Cubs, the wife of a racing heir, a failed newspaper publisher and a candidate for governor.
Meet the biggest political donors in Illinois, as compiled in a nifty analysis released today by the Sunlight Foundation, a non-partisan Washington research group. The report looks at combined giving to federal candidates, party committees, congressional campaign committees, political action committees and so-called super PACs for the 2012 election.
The gist of the report — and I don't want it to get lost in the names — is that a select group of wealthy folks have begun to dominate the political process in much the same way that a select group of large companies dominates much of the economy.
(To see the Illinois portion of the Sunshine Foundation's report, click here.)
According to Sunlight, better than one dollar in four — 28 percent of the $6 billion donated nationally — came from just 31,385 individuals. Those folks represent just 0.01 percent of the U.S. population, or "1 percent of the 1 percent," as Sunlight puts it.
Chicago — hometown to President Barack Obama — and Illinois are well represented on the list.
The Windy City ranked fourth by number of donors on the list, at 603, and third by how much they gave collectively: $45,865,679. That trails only New York City's $153 million and Houston's $68 million, and is well ahead of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Among states Illinois ranked sixth, at $87 million, behind much more populous California, Florida, New York and Texas — but also Nevada, the home to big-giving casino owner Sheldon Adelson.
The Illinois list is, not surprisingly, headed by media mogul Fred Eychaner, who has been a prodigious donor for several years now to Democratic candidates and liberal causes, such as gay rights. Mr. Eychaner parted with a cool $14.2 million, according to Sunlight, which compiled records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The next biggest seven donors on the list gave less, but all of their money went to Republicans. Included were Citadel Investment Group CEO Ken Griffin; Richard Uihlein, who runs Internet retailer Uline.com; Petco Petroleum Corp.'s Jay Bergman; investment bankers David Herro and Muneer Satter; Jimmy John's James Liautaud, and Janet Duchossois of the Arlington track fame. Each of them donated at least $595,700 each.
Rounding out the top 10 was ex-Tribune Co. chief Sam Zell, who apparently has a little left in his bank, having donated $567,800 to candidates and committees, most of them Republicans. But the person right after him, Cubs owner Laura Ricketts, gave all of her $552,874 to Democrats.
Among others worthy of note are mayoral buddy and World Business Chicago co-chair Michael Sacks, 13th at $410,300, and investment banker and GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Rauner, No. 19 with $231,000, all of to Republicans.
One other local item worth noting concerns U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville: According to Sunlight, Mr. Foster, a wealthy industrialist, received a greater share of his campaign cash from those in the 1 percent of the 1 percent than almost any other member of Congress. His office declined immediate comment.
But U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Chicago, was at the bottom of the heap among members of Congress with wealthy donors, having received just $4,750 from those on the list, the least of any member of the House or Senate.
Overall, Sunlight is not happy about the concentration of wealth, terming the 1 percent of the 1 percent "the political gatekeepers of American politics." And the concentration has spiked since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision removed many of the limits on big giving, it says.
There's a lot in the report, both nationally and locally. It certainly ought to provoke some discussion.

Dear Valentine, Please Don't Buy Me Flowers
By Di Westaway | Chief Adventure Chick (CEO) and Founder of Wild Women On Top
If you don't believe in magic, you're stressed out, live on the conservative side of life, don't like a laugh or you're related to me, best not to read this blog.
Dear Valentine,
I hope you won't think me rude, but given the incompetence of my past lovers, I've decided to give you some tips so you don't stuff up your Valentine's Day.
You see, I quite fancy you. But I need to confess, I'm not normal. I'm not "Rebel Wilson in How To Be Single" abnormal, but, as my kids often remind me, I'm not like most single women.
I'm a nature lover, which means I'd prefer to skinny dip at Balmoral beach by the light of the full moon than prance around the bedroom in the dark.
I prefer to squat behind a tree for a wee than sit on a white porcelain seat any day and I'd rather take my tea from a billy can than a shiny kettle.
Unlike many women, I don't want diamonds, fancy restaurants, red roses, Chanel No. 5, Haigh's dark chocolate roast macadamia nuts or Victoria's Secret lingerie.
I'm not really into stuff.
But if you insist on giving me stuff, here's what I'd love. A set of karabiners or quickdraws to keep me safe while I'm scaling a cliff for a view, or a mesh hammock tent that lets me see the stars while I sleep. If you don't know what these things are, you're probably not the guy for me.
But just because I prefer climbing gear to Chanel doesn't mean I don't like romance.
My most memorable Valentine's evening was when my Valentine and I hiked to an open cave on a cliff top overlooking the Pacific Ocean for a candlelit dinner of delicacies from the local organic market. And then there was the time we skied to a snow cave at twilight and watched the moon rise over the icy peaks of the Snowy Mountains.
But so I don't frighten you off and you get plenty of time to prepare, here's a suggested V-Day plan which would be guaranteed to send my heart a flutter and tempt me to consider kissing you on a remote beach under the light of the full moon after a leisurely lake-side hike.
1. Tantalise me with a series of cheeky text messages and a gear list in the lead up to the big day.
2. Pick me up from home on your bike around 6pm so I have time to shower and get my best hiking shorts out of the wash.
3. Lead me along a lush forest trail for half an hour to finish at a secret location on a deserted Cove on Sydney Harbour.
4. Surprise me with fairy lights glittering in the trees, a glass of bubbles served in a champagne flute, dark chocolate dipped strawberries and breathtaking views over the Harbour.
5. Entertain me with your wit and wonderful stories of adventure.
6. Dazzle me with the sight of stars twinkling through the gum trees and the crescent moon rising over the water.
7. Impress me with your culinary skills as you serve smoked salmon frittata and marinated goats cheese salad on the starched white table cloth you've prepared on the sand.
8. Amuse me with a rock hop to a nearby rock platform with a view of the Sydney Heads.
9. Seduce me with a shot of creamy Bailey's on ice and chocolate-filled raspberries.
10. Piggyback me home and tuck me in with a hug and a smile leaving me totally compelled to see you again.
Or, if you'd prefer, I could create this dreamy micro-adventure for us both to get my happy hormones flowing.
But either way, I'll need to be home in bed by nine. By myself. Because it takes more than THAT to get a happy ending.
Do you want to be inspired and empowered to lead an adventurous life you love? Do you want to find the Wild Woman inside you and unleash her? You've come to the right place.

2019 Vault Rankings
About CBS Corporation
You might say this company has a real eye for broadcasting. CBS Corporation, known by some as the "Eye Network" due to its eye logo, is a leading mass media conglomerate with television, radio, online content, and publishing operations. Its portfolio is anchored by CBS Broadcasting, which operates the #1 rated CBS television network, along with a group of local TV stations. CBS also owns cable network Showtime and produces and distributes TV programming through CBS Television Studios and CBS Television Distribution. Other operations include CBS Interactive and book publisher Simon & Schuster. Chairman Emeritus Sumner Redstone controls CBS Corporation through National Amusements. CBS agreed to merge with Viacom, its National Amusements sibling, in 2019.
CBS Corporation operates through four segments. Its Entertainment segment consists of the CBS Television Network, CBS Television Studios, CBS Studios International, Network Ten, CBS Films, CBS Interactive, and its digital streaming services CBS All Access and CBSN. The Cable Networks segment consists of Showtime Networks, The Movie Channel, Flix, CBS Sports Network and Smithsonian Networks.
The company's Publishing segment consists of Simon & Schuster's consumer book publishing business with imprints such as Simon & Schuster, Pocket Books, Scribner, Gallery Books, Touchstone, and Atria Books. The Local Broadcasting segment consists of CBS Television Stations and CBS Local Digital Media, with revenues generated primarily from advertising sales.
The Entertainment segment contributed 65% of the company's revenue in fiscal 2016, while the company's Cable Networks segment accounted for around 20%.
Geographic Reach
CBS Corporation has operations in the US and Canada. The US contributes around 85% of the company's total revenue.
Sales and Marketing
CBS Corporation continues to draw the largest number of TV viewers among broadcast networks with hit crime shows, news, sports, and comedies. The high ratings allow CBS Corporation to charge advertisers more and more every year. Advertising accounts for more than 40% of the company's total revenues.
CBS Corporation has a presence online with such leading websites as CNET (technology news and reviews), GameSpot (video game information), and Last.fm (social networking for music fans). Its CBS Interactive segment focuses on selling advertising across its vast collection of properties.
Financial Performance
CBS Corporation's revenue has been on an upwards trend for several years. In fiscal 2017 revenue increased 4% to $13.7 billion as strong growth in affiliate and subscription fees and content licensing and distribution offset a 9% decrease in advertising revenue. The 26% rise in subscription fees was driven by one massive pay-per-view event -- the record-setting fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor -- in addition to 27% growth in station affiliation fees and retranmission fees. Content Licensing revenue grew thanks to higher sales from NCIS: New Orleans, Madam Secretary, and several CSI titles. Advertising revenue was down due to the effect of televising the Super Bowl the previous year (television rights rotate between CBS, Fox, and NBC). Underlying advertising revenue was down 2% due to overall lower viewing figures, partially offset by higher pricing.
Net income fell sharply to $357 million in 2017, from $1.3 billion the previous year, due to a series of one-off items, including a $105 million loss on the sale of its CBS Radio business, a 4 percentage point increase in income tax paid, a $49 million loss on early debt extinguishment, a $63 million restructuring charge, and a $352 million pension settlement (plus a discretionary contribution of $600 million).
Cash from operations fell 47% to $887 million on the back of the pension contribution and the tough comparable of the 2016 Super Bowl.
The merged Viacom and CBS -- to be called ViacomCBS -- would have more content assets under one roof to compete more effectively against Netflix and Disney's streaming service as well as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast (owner of NBCUniversal) that have made content-related acquisitions. Viacom and CBS bet that their combined content (Viacom brings Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and MTV channels as well as Paramount Pictures) stands up against the assets of its rivals in the streaming battles on the horizon. Viacom and CBS had been part of the same company before splitting up in 2006. Both companies are controlled by National Amusements.
ViacomCBS intends to sell more streaming subscriptions, elevate its digital advertising sales, and create original shows for other streaming platforms, including Netflix.
It is clear now that traditional forms of television distribution (cable, satellite) have been successfully "disrupted" by internet-based streaming services such as Netflix. CBS is continuing to fine-tune its "All Access" streaming bundle and has begun rolling it out abroad, starting with Canada, followed by Australia. The process has required CBS to revise its licensing strategies as the company risks getting tangled up by its current model: Currently, CBS grants exclusive international streaming rights for its shows to companies such as Netflix, obstructing CBS from showing its own content online in overseas territories. Indeed, its licensing strategy causes problems even in its domestic streaming service. Catalogs of flagship shows such as Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls are either incomplete or not available at all on its All Access service. Other developments in the streaming domain include a new a sports-focused channel (news, analysis, and previews -- but not live events) and the hire of an ex-Facebook exec to oversee its digital expansion efforts.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In late 2017, CBS acquired Network Ten, one of three major commercial broadcast networks in Australia. In addition to core linear channel TEN, the deal includes digital terrestrial television (DTT) channel ELEVEN, which CBS already had a stake in, as well as the DTT channel ONE and Network Ten's rapidly growing digital platform, TENPLAY. The acquisition plays into CBS' digital-led international growth strategy.

University of Florida
- Position
- Forward
- Major
- Telecommunications – Media & Society
Ronni Williams will earn her undergraduate degree in four years, completing all coursework and other required elements for a Bachelor's in Telecommunications – Media & Society in the Spring of 2017. She has earned SEC Academic Honor Roll status during her tenure.
At the end of her junior season, Williams received the team's Overall Brickhouse Award for both practice and games. The award is a culmination of the daily honor given to the player who excels in seven non-statistical charted ways (such as charges taken, communicating to teammates during drills, etc.), as she leads the team during games and practice.
Interacting with children is very important to Williams, who is extremely active in the Gainesville community. The two primary places she enjoys volunteering her time is at Shands Hospital Pediatric Ward and at Girls Place, which "empowers girls to celebrate themselves."
A 2015-16 All-SEC Second Team performer by the league's coaches, Williams led the team in scoring both her sophomore and junior year. She has scored in every game she has played except one and entered her senior season with a 55-game scoring streak. She earned SEC Player of the Week honors once as a junior and SEC Freshman of the Week twice as a freshman. Following both her sophomore and junior seasons, she earned Team MVP honors at the postseason awards banquet.

In 2015, as a proud supporters of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of West Island for over 10 years, the team at Awaken Solutions was proud to build the new website for annual Montreal Rib Fest.
Responsive design
To ensure maximum visibility and accessibility, a fully-responsive design was built to ensure usability on mobile devices, including tablets and smartphones.
Interactive forms
Potential vendors, sponsors and volunteers had access to five comprehensive and interactive forms which guided them through a series of questions. The bilingual forms included conditional logic to load new questions based on the responses provided, as well as messaging logic to send submissions to the appropriate staff (as well as a confirmation to the submitter).
Graphic design
Awaken Solutions designed the new logo for Montreal Rib Fest, including the sponsor colours, Montreal skyline and other features based on interviews with the client.
Social integration
Deep social integration was included throughout the website, including Facebook and Twitter widgets that allowed staff and guests to interact easily.
Google Maps integration
An embedded Google Map with pre-populated address and directions allowed users on desktop or mobile devices to easily get directions to the event and parking guidelines.
We couldn't be happier with the website that Awaken Solutions built for the Montreal Rib Fest. They answered all of our questions, took the time to make sure everything was clear and delivered everything on time. The results are beyond any of our expectations. It was a great experience all in all and we recommend Awaken Solutions 100%.
– Martha Beltran, Montreal Rib Fest

Permission granted! Torbay is a lovely area, indeed. Even though we prefer Cornwall to Devon ( it's wilder, less "tame" ) it's good sometimes to just head down to Devon and chill out. It's an area we know well and is only about 2 hours down the road. ( Well, except this time. Due to a fatal accident on the motorway forcing me to take the back roads, it took us about 5 hours to get there! )

Days began and ended at the fishnets. The haul of iqalupik, arctic char, was so plentiful that soon each tent was flanked by a small stand of stiff pink bodies, stuck tails first into deep drifts of snow. When we got hungry, we simply slipped an arm out the door and snagged a fish. Sometimes we cut it up and made soup. More often we ate it raw, slicing the char into our mouths. Frozen sushi, Marvin called it, fresh and cold, almost tasteless, with a note of steel from the knife blade.
Beyond the nets, our hours vanished into a well of small tasks. In the day's few hours of weak sunlight, there were stoves to tend, ice to melt for drinking water, tents to relocate when the ice below them turned to slush. Snowmobiles regularly broke down in the unforgiving cold. At one point, a mother polar bear appeared near camp with two cubs, which made the act of heading off alone to relieve oneself -- already dismal enough in the puckering cold -- an even uglier prospect.

I've always made mine with 12 oz of lemon lime soda added as well as beer, but this was extremely enjoyable! They weren't as sweet due to the lack of sprite, and that isn't a bad thing.
Very refreshing! Not too sweet nor too sour. I only added 3 beer and squeezed fresh lime and added rounds of lime for appeal :)
