Kolkata, April 22 (IANS) Theatre personality Shaoli Mitra on Sunday stepped down from the post of Chairperson of Paschimbanga Bangla Akademi citing infrastructural issues and complaining of difficulties in carrying out her responsibilities.
"I don't want to be insulted at this age. Despite assurances from the government, nothing was done to improve the infrastructure," said Mitra.
In May last year, Mitra had informed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about the problems.
Then in December, she had written to Banerjee expressing her wish to resign as the Akademi head, but decided to wait and watch after an assurance that the issues would be sorted out.
Mitra said she held two meetings with state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee.
In March she was assured that steps were being taken to mitigate her concerns.
"But, I have not received any communication from the government in the past one month, despite the assurances given to me in March.
"I was waiting for some concrete evidence that the government wanted me to return to the post. But, I have not got any such evidence about the government's intention. So, I have now informed the government formally that I have taken the final decision not to return to the post," said Mitra.
The daughter of late Bengali theatre doyens Sombhu and Tripiti Mitra has already communicated her decision to the Education Minister and the department's officials.
Mitra has headed the state-run regulatory body to promote Bengali language since 2012, when legendary author Mahasweta Devi resigned from the post.
She was one of the leading members of the civil society to have supported Banerjee in her Nandigram and Singur agitations during the last few years of the CPI(M)-led Left Front rule in the state.

Q. Is it Permissible to Celebrate the Mawlid?
Fatwa 17-2
Question: Is it permissible to celebrate the birth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?
Answer: The Muslim community has in the last century and a half come into a great deal of confusion regarding the celebration of the mawlid – the birth of the Beloved Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Many have chosen to avoid this practice, and others have shunned it, calling it an innovation. Some even say that this is shirk. This was a practice that was performed by the early Muslims from the time of the Companions of the Messenger ﷺ, may Allah be pleased with them all. We will attempt to clear this confusion by presenting some Quranic āyāt, aḥādīth, and statements of classical `ulamā' in support of this practice.
Quranic Āyāt
Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
قُلۡ بِفَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ وَبِرَحۡمَتِهٖ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَلۡيَـفۡرَحُوۡا
Say: They should rejoice in the Favor and Mercy of Allah (Yūnus, 10:58)
Allah ﷻ is commanding us to celebrate His Favor and Mercy. What is this Favor and Mercy? Allah ﷻ says:
لَقَدۡ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيۡهِمۡ رَسُوۡلًا
Allah surely favored the believers when He sent to them a messenger (Āle `Imrān, 3:164)
The Favor is explicitly mentioned here as the Messenger ﷺ. Next, we have the following āyah:
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ اِلَّا رَحۡمَةً لِّـلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ
And We have not sent you (O Beloved) except as a mercy to all Creation. (al-Ambiyā', 21:107)
Allah ﷻ is directly addressing the Holy Messenger ﷺ as a Mercy to all of creation itself. When we have verses in the Quran telling us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is a mercy and favor, and when we have verses commanding us to rejoice in the favor and mercy of Allah, then it should be obvious that we have been commanded to celebrate and rejoice in the Holy Messenger ﷺ himself.
The Quran talks about the blessedness and joy to be found in the births of other prophets as well. Speaking of the Prophet Yaḥyā عليه السلام, Allah ﷻ says:
وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ
And peace upon him the day he was born (Maryam, 19:15)
Allah sends peace to him the day he was born. That makes the day of the birth of Hazrat Yaḥyā عليه السلام blessed, and it shows how Allah ﷻ has Himself honored that day. If this is the honor and blessing bestowed on the day of the birth of a prophet of previous communities, then how much greater would the blessing and honor be for the day of the birth of the Leader of the Prophets and the Greatest of Creation ﷺ?
There are several aḥādīth referring to the practice of the mawlid and its virtue. Imām Tirmidhi even has an entire chapter devoted to it in his canonical ḥadīth collection. He narrates the following from the Mother of the Believers Sayyida `Ā'isha Ṣiddīqa رضي الله عنها:
قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَحَرَّى صَوْمَ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ
She said, "The Messenger ﷺ would try to fast Mondays and Thursdays. (Tirmidhi, Kitāb-uṣ-Ṣawm, Bāb mā Jā'a fī Ṣawm Yawm-il-Ithnayn wa'l Khamīs, Ḥadīth 745)
Many reasons are given for why the Beloved of Allah ﷺ would fast these days. Imām Muslim narrates the following from Sayyiduna Abu Qatāda رضي الله عنه:
سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ فَقَالَ فِيهِ وُلِدْتُ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَ عَلَىَّ
He was asked about fasting on Mondays, so he said, "It is the day I was born and the day revelation was sent to me." (Muslim, Kitāb-uṣ-Ṣawm, Bāb Istiḥbāb Ṣiyām Yawm-il-Ithnayn wa'l Khamīs, Ḥadīth 1164)
We can see from these aḥādīth that even the Blessed Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to commemorate this day. He recognized the blessings of the day of his birth and showed gratitude to his Lord through fasting.
The mercy to be found in his birth alone has been extended to everyone, even those not in the fold of Islam. Imām Bukhāri narrates the following from Hazrat `Urwa ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهما:
وَثُوَيْبَةُ مَوْلاَةٌ لأَبِي لَهَبٍ كَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ أَعْتَقَهَا فَأَرْضَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ أُرِيَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِهِ بِشَرِّ حِيبَةٍ قَالَ لَهُ مَاذَا لَقِيتَ قَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ لَمْ أَلْقَ بَعْدَكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سُقِيتُ فِي هَذِهِ بِعَتَاقَتِي ثُوَيْبَةَ
Thuwayba was a slave girl of Abu Lahab whom he had freed (out of joy upon hearing the news of the birth of the Messenger), and so she nursed the Messenger ﷺ. When Abu Lahab died, some of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state. They asked him, "What have you found?" He replied, "I have not found any good since I left you, except that I am given water in this (finger of mine) due to my freeing Thuwayba." (Bukhāri, Kitāb-un-Nikāḥ, Bāb Wa Ummahātukum allātī Arḍa`nakum, Ḥadīth 5101)
Abu Lahab was the uncle of the Messenger ﷺ who was one of the fiercest enemies of Islam. So severe was his animosity, that Allah ﷻ revealed a Sūrah of the Quran just for mentioning his depraved state and the punishment that awaited him in the Afterlife. If such a disbeliever can be granted some reprieve for expressing the smallest joy at the birth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then what would the virtue be for someone who believes in and loves the Messenger ﷺ?
Statements of the `Ulamā'
The statements of the `ulamā' in support of the mawlid are beyond count. Here we will mention two. Imām ibn Kathīr mentions in "al-Bidāya wa'n Nihāya":
Sultan Muzaffar used to arrange the celebration of the Mīlād Sharīf with honor, glory, dignity, and grandeur, and he would organize a magnificent festival.
Imām ibn Kathīr goes on to praise this Sultan Muzaffar:
He was pure hearted, brave, and wise scholar, and a just ruler, may Allah Almighty shower His mercy upon him and grant him an exalted status. (al-Bidāya wa'n Nihāya, Vol. 13, pg. 136)
Imām ibn Kathīr is praising and extolling the virtues of a man who celebrated the mawlid; clearly he views it as a virtuous practice.
Imām Jalāluddīn Suyūṭi mentions in his work "al-Ḥāwi lil Fatāwa" a question posed on the permissibility of celebrating the mawlid. He responds:
In my view, the Mīlād Sharīf is an occasion of happiness on which people assemble and recite the Holy Quran as much as possible. They relate incidents concerning the arrival of the Noble Messenger ﷺ that are transmitted from ḥadīth and āthār. Food is arranged and they eat as much as they desire. This festival of celebrating the birth of the Noble Messenger ﷺ is a good innovation, and those arranging it will receive blessings, since in such a celebration is found the expression of joy and happiness at the eminence of the Holy Messenger ﷺ and his birth.
Imām Suyūṭi is showing his clear approval of this practice, and he even adds that this is a praiseworthy act that is deserving of reward from Allah ﷻ and His blessings.
These are just a few of the endorsements by the `ulamā' of this blessed practice, showing its permissibility and its praiseworthiness. No one should say that this is an unjustified or blameworthy act.

Teething is the growth of teeth through the gums in the mouth of infants and young children.
Teething usually begins when a baby is between 6 and 8 months old. All 20 baby teeth should be in place by the time a child is 30 months old. Some children do not show any teeth until much later than 8 months, but this is usually normal.
The signs of teething are:
Teething does NOT cause fever or diarrhea. If your child develops a fever or diarrhea and you are worried about it, talk to your health care provider.
Tips to ease your child's teething discomfort:
You can buy the following medicines and remedies at the drug store:

Next season will mark the 20th anniversary of Andrew Sewell (below top) coming to Madison to serve as the music director and principal conductor of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra (below bottom).
It is hard to imagine a better Bravo! or anniversary gift for the maestro – who has said he wants the WCO to become a chamber orchestra, as its name implies, for the entire state of Wisconsin — than what will in fact take place: the WCO will expand its winter Masterworks concerts to two performances by adding a Saturday night performance at 7:30 p.m. in the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts (below) in Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee. (Sewell is also the music director of the San Luis Obispo Symphony in California.)
Madison performances of Masterworks will continue to take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night in the Capitol Theater of the Overture Center.
You can find out more about the Masterworks programs for next season by going to the WCO home website:
There you will find the usual eclectic mix of new guest artists and new or neglected composers and repertoire that has marked Sewell's tenure and brought him critical acclaim.
Pianist Orion Weiss will perform the popular Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467 – "Elvira Madigan" – by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; violinists Giora Schmidt and Eric Silberger will perform concertos by Dmitri Kabalevsky and Niccolo Paganini, respectively; harpist Yolanda Kondonassis will perform a concerto by Argentinian Alberto Ginastera; and Andrew Balio (below), principal trumpet of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, will return to Madison where he grew up and perform a 1948 trumpet concerto by Italian composer Andre Tomasi.
Early music and new music to be featured includes works by: Donald Fraser (an acclaimed English conductor, composer and arranger, below) who now lives in Illinois, and often comes to Madison); Joseph Martin Kraus, known as the "Swedish Mozart"; Norwegian composer Johann Svensen; and three English composers (always favorites of Sewell who was born and educated in New Zealand) who are John Marsh, James Macmillan and York Bowen. (In the YouTube video at the bottom you can hear the English Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kenneth Woods — a native Madisonian who will return next season to conduct the Madison Symphony Orchestra — recording the Scherzo movement from Donald Fraser's "Sinfonietta," the same work that the WCO will perform.)
Works by Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn and Sergei Prokofiev also figure prominently, including Mozart's Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral" in honor of the composer's 250th birthday in 2020.
Also on the website, you will find the upcoming season of Wednesday night Concerts on the Square for this summer (June 26-July 31) plus the dates and themes – although no guest artists or works — for 2020 (June 24-July 29).
Go to: https://wisconsinchamberorchestra.org/performances
You can also find information for next season about the WCO performing George Frideric Handel's "Messiah," Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" with the Madison Ballet; the Young Artist Concerto Competition; the free Family Series; and the community Super Strings program for elementary students.
To receive a brochure with information about all these events and about how to get tickets — an "early bird" discount on subscription tickets runs through May 31– call (608) 257-0638 or go to: https://wisconsinchamberorchestra.org

Financial Instruments under FRS 102
I presented a seminar a few weeks ago on changes to UK GAAP, primarily focusing on FRS102.
From previous reading it was obvious that adoption of FRS102 is going to have far reaching consequences to the accounts of many businesses, however there are a number of areas where there seem to be differing opinions on how the new standard should be applied. Also, in my opinion, there are going to be consequences for many business which they have not fully grasped.
One of the areas which falls into this category is in respect of accounting for financial instruments. Financial instruments covers things which would seem relatively simple like cash or amounts receivable together with those which most would expect to be more complicated such as derivatives. There are different sections, 11 and 12 respectively, in FRS102 to deal with simple and more complex financial instruments, however just because something is a simple financial instrument doesn't mean that there aren't complexities.
If a transaction is not at a market rate then it is likely to be a financing transaction which means that it can't just be recorded at cost like now. A loan from a bank is still likely to be recorded at cost, however an interest free loan from or to a director would not be unless it was repayable on demand. Many business won't want loans that are repayable on demand for various reasons, including accounts presentation. If a business had a loan from a director of £100,000 interest free for say three years it would not initially be recorded at £100,000 but a lower figure to reflect the implied interest on the loan. The questions are what is the right rate of interest and also where should this journal be posted to? FRS102 does not offer much guidance for either question. The perceived wisdom is that usually the initial gain in this situation would go through the profit and loss account which would then be matched by the interest charged for the next three years, however there is another school of thought that this needn't be the case for financing transactions from shareholders. If the initial gain was instead put to shareholders funds then the deduction for tax in future years of the interest is not tax neutral. In any case even if tax neutral there will be timing differences to be considered.
Anyway, if businesses think that they might have transactions and balances that might be classified as financing transactions these should be looked at as soon as possible to determine what impact FRS102 will have. I wouldn't be surprised if further guidance is necessary regarding this or other matters in FRS102.Talk to Barnes Roffe today

My Year Without Meat examines what it meant to food writer Richard Cornish to become a vegetarian.
When food writer Richard Cornish was so overcome by the aroma of the roast leg of lamb he had buckled into the passenger seat next to him that he pulled over to the side of the road and tore it apart with his bare hands, he knew he had a problem. He began to examine what it means to eat meat by becoming vegetarian for a year.
My Year Without Meat is a surprising and bittersweet journey that changed Richard's body, his values and how he cooks. It's a meditation on ethical meat, an ode to vegetables and a cautionary tale about our relationship to food—as told by a self-confessed meat lover.
Peppered with funny anecdotes, eye-opening facts and conversations with some of Australia's best local producers, farmers and top chefs, My Year Without Meat thoughtfully explores how and why Australians consume food the way we do.
It will make you rethink the contents of your supermarket trolley, how you prepare your evening meal and where your food comes from.
About the author
Richard Cornish is an award-winning food writer who pens the much-loved and irreverent Fairfax column Brain Food. He has co-authored the bestselling MoVida cookbooks with Frank Camorra and Phillippa's Home Baking with Phillippa Grogan.

A lot has been going on with the kids up in Chimaltenango who have made Dick's home their second home. I don't get to see them all that often, but they hold a special place in my heart. I have had a chance to watch a couple of the games which the team Cesar is coaching has played, and have to admit I love watching Elder especially. He's always held his own playing with the big guys and shines now that he's on a team with younger kids.
School this year has been difficult for a lot of the guys. Looking at their textbooks, I can understand why, especially in math and science. What they are studying is more complicated than what I can understand or help them with, but they are plugging away for the most part.
Tony has accepted a job working at an orphanage in Parramos, so we are having a few staff adjustments. Marcos and Ebner David are filling in on weekends, and are a great help.
He is really coming into his own. He is completing his career education in teaching PE, and will be, God willing, going on to the University in January. He will be the first of "our" kids to do so. I admire his determination and his commitment to his education. School is not easy for him, but he makes up for it in diligence and hard work.
Just yesterday he completed one of his final requirements for promotion, and it was a tough one. To pass his swimming requirement, he had to swim across Lake Atitlan! Swimming is not his strong suit, and both Dick and I were very concerned that he would not be able to make it the whole way. We were more concerned that he would push himself too far, and would have problems before one of the kayaks accompanying the swimmers could get to him. We've been doing a lot of praying about this one.
I am happy to say that we worried for nothing. While I'm sure it was very hard for him, he succeeded without incident. He's really proud of this accomplishment, and we are too. What I am most proud of, however, is his conviction of where he received the power to do this. He posted on his facebook page:
I thank God for giving me this experience and the ability to do what I set out to do. Thank God for giving me the opportunity to cross the lake. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!"

Instead of doing the surgery, they spent the day doing tests...they did all the tests they could do here and decided it is very serious and tonight he is being taken to La Paz...the capitol city which is about 3 hours from us. They will admit him tonight and most likely do a CT scan first thing in the morning. After they get the results from the scan, they will most likely do surgery. The CT scan will give them a much clearer picture of what all they are looking at.
Daniel was given an iv with liquids and vitamins and felt much better getting rehydrated.
I was able to get ahold of Brother Macario who Daniel has been training to be pastor here. He took our van and drove around the town letting all our church people know there will be no services tonight and asking them to pray. It is heartbreaking to tell them; the few people I've told have wept. They really love Pastor Daniel.
The hardest thing for me right now is just being here so far away from him. I know he wants me to be with him, but it does not seem possible right now. Though I have never liked being away from home and the children, my heart aches to be with him, to hold his hand, cry together, pray together, and just be there so he isn't alone. But if the Lord wants me at home...not my will but Thine be done.
I have seen His ever loving hand in so many little details and worries today already. Last Sunday, a little tiny bird fell from it's nest outside our church building right by Benjamin's feet. I told Ben that the Lord saw that tiny bird fall...how much more He sees and cares for us. I know, even though I don't know where, how, why, what ect... , that He does and will give us the wisdom and provide for everything. Oh He is so good and loves us so much.
Before we got to the mission field, life was "easy". Once we got here, our oldest son had a tumor in his spine and had to have surgery and radiation...the Lord healed him completely; we had times where we saw the Lord provide our food meal by meal; He took us through the accident when 2 of our children had 2nd and 3rd degree burns; He took me through Susannah's birth where I almost bled to death from a separated placenta; He took care of Nehemiah through his first few months of life where he struggled for every breath and we thought the Lord would take him; He took us from a 30 ft. travel trailer and gave us a house; and oh so much more...all in 4 years. I know He will bring us through this according to His will.
Each trial refines us, draws us closer to Him, builds our faith, and oh how we pray will glorify His name.
But oh it hurts.
Trusting Jesus Every Day,

Hello Lockwood family,ReplyDelete
I just wanted to let you all know that I am lifting Daniel especially and you all up in prayer. I pray he gets the care he needs and that the Lord will heal him. And comfort you and the children as you wait at home. *hugs* from Jaclynn in Shingletown

Checking in to let you know I am still lifting you up in prayer. If you do not mind I put a link to your site on my blog so others can pray.ReplyDelete
We will continue to pray and check back often. You are truly a living testimony of God's love. Though you are going through a trial, God is there on the other side waiting. Waiting to bless you, hang in there, He loves you so! Thank you for sharing and being so open.ReplyDelete

Bless you and your family my Sister. I am praying for you and this dark time. May His rod and staff comfort you.ReplyDelete
Jaynee, do either of you have family that can travel and help? I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you and Daniel to be apart. Praying for the Lord's provision for every need.ReplyDelete
Jaynee, I am praying for your husband right now that God heals him completely to be home with you and the children. I know how hard it must be to not be by his side. Is there anyone in the church that can watch the older ones and you take some of the younger ones with you to a home near the hospital? then you can have someone watch them while you visit your husband and they can be close by. I also hope that your family from the U.S. can come to Mexico as soon as they can to help you out.ReplyDelete

Our family is reading your updates aloud together and praying. Our hearts are very involved with your family, and we love you so much. We pray that the Lord will give each of your His peace and comfort. "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).ReplyDelete
We pray for wisdom for the doctors and a way that your family could somehow be close to daddy during this time so that you could be with Daniel some of the time and with the children some of the time. Most of all we are praying that this is not cancer, but something that could be easily treated and recovered from.
Trusting in Jesus,

Oh Jaynee, you and Daniel and the children are on my heart. We prayed again for you all this evening. It must be so hard to be away from Daniel but you are giving him a tremendous gift by taking care of everything so well at home. He is comforted knowing that the children are so well cared for. That said, I pray that your family will be able to be together soon. Indeed, I also pray that this not cancer. God Bless you and your family!ReplyDelete

Prayers are going up from Iowa, too. I will pray especially for you, Jaynee, for strength and peace. Your blog and family and ministry has been so encouraging to me! I will pray - "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee."ReplyDelete
I am so sorry to read this. I just started reading your blog a couple of days ago from a comment I saw on CF husband. I feel like I was connected to you for a reason. My daughter is currently undergoing chemotherapy, she has leukemia. Actually she is in remission, and I feel so strongly it is her innocence, and spirit that has pulled her through this with ease. Keep your faith, stay positive and Daniel can get through this. I wish so badly you could be there with him. If you were anywhere near us, I would babysit for you in a heartbeat. Have you thought about coming back to the states? They may have more treatment options. God bless you all.ReplyDelete

I have met you before, I go to church with Chuck and Jacquee, and I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you, your husband, and your family. I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you to not be able to be with your husband at this time. I thank you for your shining example of praising the Lord even at hard times.

I prayed for you and your family today. I had cancer when my daughter was 9 months old, and my heart breaks for you. God showed me through John 9 that it was for His glory, and it is evident from your heart that you are trusting Him and that He will be glorified. I am praying for healing for your dear husband and strength for your family.ReplyDelete

First of all, I am so sorry for the reference in the title. I'm hoping it'll make the topic of this post funnier than it actually is. The point of this post is that I want to record what my mania has been like for the past six months or so, for future reference. I'm starting on a new medication that's supposed to reduce my mania, and I'm hoping it helps. I've had some debilitating bouts of mania in the past six months and sometimes it's been all I can do to function.
Repetitive Motions
I love things too much. I can pass through the world sarcastic and largely inexpressive for most of my day, but then I get home and consume the things I love with a covetous frenzy. I can watch a show and then read fanfic after fanfic about it, analyzing a five-minute scene and the actors' microexpressions, trying to figure out what exactly they mean.
It Doesn't Have to Be This Hard
I am returning to blogging (hopefully on a regular basis) after an exhausting semester. Five days a week, I did the following:
- woke up and walked to the bus stop
- sat for hours in classrooms where the lights were too bright and I had to interact with people
- did intellectual work that added to my mental exhaustion from social interaction and an overstimulating environment
- took the bus and walked home again
And then I frequently worked a dinner shift after that.
Dear Google
Dear Google, how do you cope with mania? Please don't tell me to avoid caffeine. I literally haven't drank soda for weeks, and I still feel like I'm going to pop out of my skin and roll around on the floor like marbles, my pieces clinking together awkwardly and never merging together to form a whole.
Dear Google, telling me to seek a qualified mental health professional isn't helping right now. I'm already seeing one of those, and she's not going to come to my house to help me calm down and concentrate on studying so I won't bomb that test tomorrow. It's after hours anyway. I need your advice right now.
Content note: This is a post I wrote a couple of weeks ago about cissexism and transphobia, both external and internalized. If you're a trans person and you've had a particularly bad or dysphoric day, you might wanna skip this one.
Today in my literature class, the professor said we were going to deconstruct race and gender in Frankenstein. A sense of dread settled over me as she wrote "Race" and "Woman" on the board and asked a room of mostly white students what race is. After a very intellectual discussion, she asked the class what woman is. The first response was exactly what I was dreading. A student said, "Being biologically and anatomically female." Continue reading "Monster"
Why I Suck at Eye Contact
Content note: This post talks frankly about ableism in a way that might induce anxiety in autistic readers.
Recently, I started a new job. I haven't told anyone there that I'm trans or on the autism spectrum. I don't like to have those conversations unless I feel safe and know I won't be treated like an oddity or less of a person. Because I usually don't talk about these identities of mine in public, I often hear things I don't care for.
At this new job, I overheard a conversation between two coworkers where they were talking about a customer they didn't like. One of them said, "Isn't making eye contact just, like, basic human decency?"
And the other one said, "You'd think so, but…" Continue reading "Why I Suck at Eye Contact"
Transmasculine Gothic
- You walk into the men's room. Some cis dude is taking a shit in the only stall. You walk away and come back. He is still there. You eventually give up and use a different bathroom. The next time you return, he is still in the stall. He is always there.

Cell tower Lease Joint Venture
Category Rss Feed
By :
Andrew Kellerman
Have an existing or soon to be installed cell tower or rooftop cell site? Want the lease income, but don't want to take all the risk of possible lease termination? How about a joint venture? May be the best of all worlds.
A cell site joint venture may look something like this and have some benefits.
A cellular acquisition firm that specializes in cell site management would offer to purchase one half of your equity. They would negotiate the terms of the JV, such as the cell site easement size, rights of way and future rent sharing. For this they would receive some of the rent, but be taking the risk that if the cell site lease is canceled that they would lose their entire investment.
The benefits are numerous and may be what you've been looking for. Having a professional management team, that has as much to gain or lose as you do is a good thing.
Most cell site lease payments are what I refer to as 'free money', that is to say, most site owners were approached to have a cell site located on their property, said yes and now receive monthly or yearly income. 'Free money' or 'found money' if you prefer. Consider yourself very lucky. Remember, sometime it is smart to take some of your chips off the table, guaranteeing yourself a sizable profit.
For some of you, that is not the case. You may have done your homework, fought with the zoning department, haggled with contractors, borrowed a lot of dough and put up an expensive cell tower and were successful at enticing a cellular carrier or two to locate on your structure. Congratulations! That was not 'free money'. Many are not as successful as you. Can you just image having a cell tower on your property and not getting any income out of it? My wife would never let me live that one down!
One of the long term advantages of a management team as a partner is that they know the ins, outs and what is happening virtually all the time. Who is talking about merging with who or what new technology is on the horizon and how it would affect your cell site.
One of the safest bets you can make, according to one of my friends who visits Las Vegas from time to time, is to "quit a winner". Seems plausible and is more than doable.
Andrew is a cell tower broker representing sellers. He has been successful at obtaining multiple offers for those who wish to sell or joint venture.

E14: How to Break Free from Banks
In this episode, we will discuss how banks, the most profitable business in the word, have a monopoly on your money. And we'll share how you can break free from their scheme.
We can talk about this thing for hours. But in this episode, we're going to nail down how banks work in under a one-half hour. In the course of explaining how banks work, we'll also discuss the inherent problems they create. And we'll shed light on infinite banking: becoming your own banker.
Banking Topics Discussed:
- How banks make money off of you
- Why banks keep only a small amount of physical cash on hand
- Why banks love credit cards so much
- How to use Infinite Banking in place of a traditional bank
- Paying yourself interest instead of a bank
- Why we say "banks have a monopoly on your money"
- Where the FDIC comes in
- Are banks running a legal Ponzi Scheme
Episode Takeaways:
Banks make money off of you by simply allowing you to deposit your hard-earned money into their bank.
We're all lending money to the bank, and the bank puts it to work for themselves while charging you.
The most expensive money a bank has is the money that has to sit in their teller's drawer because it's not working for them.

Series: Bloodlines #3
Published by Razorbill on February 12th 2013
Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult
Format: Paperback
Source: Library
Buy the Book •

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets--and human lives."

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

Up next was the third installment of the Bloodlines series, The Indigo Spell!
This time around we delve further into the world of magic as Sydney embraces her natural talent. Sydney is on the hunt for Marcus Finch, someone who may hold the answers she is so desperate for regarding the secrets of the Alchemists and their magical tattoos. Not only that, but she suddenly finds herself the target of a witch after her power and must hunt her down before she is the one being hunted.
Okay, this book definitely picked things up. There was a lot of excitement and intrigue regarding the secrets Sydney is desperate to uncover about the Alchemists. I must admit I was almost surprised how far Sydney was willing to go to get these answers. It really showed how much she had grown and changed since we first met her in Vampire Academy and in Bloodlines. She's become bolder and daring. And more likable. I also loved the direction Sydney is taking involving magic. Her Alchemist skills blend right into her ability to cast magic and I find these two components of the plot starting to blend together the further we get into the series. Excited to see where this will take us!
Probably what was the best about this book was FINALLY getting some UST (unresolved sexual tension) between Sydney and Adrian! She has moments of weakness and cannot help but succumb to her attraction to Adrian (who could blame her?) but she is also still fighting it because even though she is growing and changing, becoming more accepting of the vampire world, it's hard to go against everything she has been taught. And gah! Adrian is super swoony. And adorable. And I love him.
"I wasn't that crazy on spirit when I said you're my flame in the dark. We chase away the shadows around each other. Our backgrounds don't matter. What we have is bigger than that. I love you, and beneath all that logic, calculation, and superstition, I know you love me too."
With all of that being said, I must admit I still haven't found that spark like I found with Vampire Academy. I keep waiting for something to surprise me and knock me off my feet. Being halfway through the series and missing that is a little bothersome purely because I know what Richelle Mead is capable of with her writing. I am absolutely enjoying the series but desperately hope to be blown away at some point. Expectations too high? Possibly. We'll see!

You can support your child's learning at home by listening them to read every night and supporting homework activities such as spellings and learning times tables. If your child has access to a computer they should be encouraged to regularly use the mathletics website. The usernames and passwords can be found in the children's homework books.
English, maths and spelling homework is handed out every Friday for return the following Wednesday. Children are expected to know all of their times tables (up to 12x) and I recommend http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button to help.
Spelling tests take place on Friday morning.
The children will also receive Talk Homework every other Wednesday in preparation for extended writing the next day.

Silage is often a stored fodder which you can use as feed for sheep, cattle and any other ruminants or perhaps as a biofuel feedstock. Silaging, or even the advance of silage, can be a somewhat confusing process - setting it up right is vital as improper fermentation can help to eliminate its quality and nutritional value. It is just a fantastic regular feed supply which is well suited for during wet conditions.
If you are considering silage or perhaps curious about making it better, please read on for a couple tips. There is also a rundown about the silage creation and storing process.
What's silage made out of? Silage is constructed from soluble carbohydrates and grass crops like sorghum, maize along with other cereals. As it can be achieved from the number of field crops and utilises the whole green plant and not the grain, it becomes an incredibly efficient kind of feed.
[[image https://s15.postimg.cc/7ydfkw80b/silage.jpg
What do you should make? There are two common solutions to create silage, one relies upon using a silo available and the other takes a plastic sheet to pay a heap or plastic wrap to produce large bales. Using a silo is obviously the most effective way to produce silage, however if you simply don't have silos available then its viable to create silage just plastic wrapping.
The frequency of which should silage be made? Optimum fermentation of silage occurs after 60 to 70 days. This implies it is best to make silage more than once throughout the year so that it may be used when it is most reliable whenever. It's important to properly estimate your silage must minimise loss and be sure efficiency.
How would you fill a silo? Silage must be filled in to a silo layer by layer. While some farmers make use of one silo, for those who have several available it really is a lot more effective to separate your silage between them. This means you will minimise silage losses while they is going to be emptied out quickly.
Continuous treading permits you to properly compact the crop and take any air that would prevent the growth of the anaerobic bacteria essential for the silage to ferment. Chopping forage up into pieces which can be no greater than 2 centimetres will assisted in the compaction process. The silo should then be sealed after as much air as you possibly can is expelled.

This is my first semester in 18 years in which I am not taking a class. Not a single one. The next five months are dedicated to finishing my thesis (read: glorified research paper) and studying for my comprehension exams so I can graduate in the summer. And then…and then…
Several of the people in and around my life have asked me what I am going to do in the "real world" once I graduate. For a while, I went along with this question and gave some very satisfying answers about job prospects, traveling, and purchasing at least five more cats within the next two years. But I'm becoming irked by this question, not because I don't have a solid plan, but because of its implication. Since when was being in school not a "real" thing? Will my Master's degree be imaginary, some mathematical equivalent to non-existence, i? I certainly hope not, seeing as the time, money, and brain-space sacrificed has a definite value of 18 years—no more and no less.
Without a doubt, we've all talked about, dreamed about, wondered and skirted around this "Real World" concept, so I pose the question to you: what in the flying f*ck is the Real World and how do I become a Real Person in order to live within its space? If am on the cusp of entering this place, then I feel like I need some clarification in order to avoid becoming a nonentity. It is my understanding that this is a place where a body is not in school, has its own job, pays it bills, and has a few more responsibilities that make it a commendable part of a working society (Note: professional students CLEARLY do not meet these qualifications).
It's not like this is something I can look up and research, either, seeing as MTV has a monopoly on the Real World and has occupied it since 1992. But if I take my lessons from this Real World, then there are certain themes for my new life to be on the look-out for:
- Prejudice
- Politics & religion
- Romance
- Sexuality
- Unrequited love
- Departed house-mates
- On-screen marriage
- Coping with illness
Interesting how I never experienced any of this in the last 18 years (well, "On-screen marriage" might be tricky to argue, but my sass is on a roll). Maybe the point of school is to prepare myself for these "recurring themes." Maybe the purpose of my Latin America seminars in 2011 and 2012 was to teach me that there are some fiercely homophobic bros out there who love to hate on AIDS-ridden gays. I'm certain that my Marine Biology class from 2008 amply provided the life-skills for when my roommate moved out and we scrambled to find a new one. And the most important lesson, one that was a tough learn in the History of Revolutions course I took in 2009, was that of unrequited love…for immediate and radical change brought on by the people for the benefit of the whole and not the few…oh, wait, that has nothing to do with MTV's Real World, because that might have actual, long-term, and significant change as opposed to the "longest running reality TV show" claim to fame. THAT must be part of Non-Real World.
I am so not prepared for the Real World if this is what it takes. But if my hunch about "reality" is right, that finding a job, paying my bills, and interacting with a larger community that is outside of (but not necessarily separate or far from) academia, then I'm certain I will do just find and y'all can stop saying Welcome to the Real World!


text: Hi Bill: I'm assuming you expose your sign-up functionality for the Apple reviewer and that's how they know what you're doing. The reason Apple is giving you a hard time is they want their cut of your money and will do whatever they can to make you use in-app purchases for your subscription model. I'm sure this requirement is buried in your Apple developer account agreement small print somewhere, so it's not illegal, but is it ethical? #2 doesn't necessarily get you past the Apple reviewer if they can click your sign-up link and go to Stripe. The difference between signing up in an embedded WebView hosted signup page and doing so through Safari isn't any difference in the eyes of Apple. I think you're stuck with using in-app billing for Apple anyway. I use Distriqt ANEs and recommend this one--which will get you Android and iOS in-app purchases with a single API: https://airnativeextensions.com/extension/com.distriqt.InAppBilling <https://airnativeextensions.com/extension/com.distriqt.InAppBilling> You'll still have to implement a separate sign-up channel for the desktop AIR versions since the Distriqt ANE doesn't do AIR desktop. There may be an AIR desktop ANE out there somewhere but I suggest you use your existing Stripe for desktop, and use an ANE for iOS and Android. That is unless you use Mac App Store to distribute your AIR desktop app because you will likely run into this same issue for the Mac App. I also recommend hosting your Mac and Windows installers on your own website and NOT distribute through Microsoft store or Apple Store. And if you haven't done Microsoft store yet, plan on a LOT of work to make that happen. Not worth it, IMHO.

Since it is a cross-platform app for Android, Apple, and desktop, I wanted just one payment solution to make it simple, so I chose Stripe. I open a webview in the app to pay for the subscription. Apple claims that my content is locked until payment is made, so I am required to use the in-app purchase API to unlock the content. Now that I am so far into development, this could be a huge change that adds a lot of time to my actual release. I have two options as I see it: 1) Implement in-app purchase API somehow into my code 2) Give the user the option to Sign Up or Log In. If they choose to sign up, redirect them to my website in safari to sign up and use Stripe as I have already laid out. Once they have signed up they can then move back to the app and simply Log In. I know absolutely nothing about in-app purchases. I always thought that they used Apple Pay, which I would prefer not to do. Can the in-app purchase API work with my Stripe Account and subscription products that I created there, or would I be forced to transform my whole workflow? Of the two options I listed above, which would you choose? Any ANE recommendations? Thanks for any insights! -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/

Keeping Up With Jonesy: Building a Support SystemFri 21 Mar 2014
Dan Jones, the mastermind behind your favorite cycling videos including Backstage Pass, the #OGERocks music videos and My Piece of the World, has embarked upon a personal challenge to get healthy. Three weeks into the program and Dan has not only lost weight but he is feeling healthier and more energetic. These weekly posts are Dan's attempt to share his journey with you. This week Dan faces his first hurdle, maintaining his new lifestyle whilst on the road at Tirreno Adriatico.
Leaving Andy for two weeks on the road was a bit like saying goodbye to Dad before heading off to school camp. It had been a pretty highly monitored program in Girona but now I'm at the races it's time to step up to the plate and keep the program going on my own.
We asked Whitey a couple of weeks back to help kick me into shape during Tirreno and Milan San Remo. Over the last couple of years we have enjoyed a few sporadic training sessions but from this point on, we are doing something every day. We also knew how hard it would be to keep on track with the diet. I mean, Italy, are you kidding me? - it's like the home of carbs!!
The soigneurs are now making salads for Whitey and I to eat in the car instead of the traditional carbo loaded baguettes. The salads have actually been pretty good, except for the one day Axier forgot to give us some dressing and they ended up as dry as the Sahara.
Most of the staff have been really respectful of my program. They eat their junk food in private places! Our bus driver Gary, and his brother and soigneur, Axier, have been quite the opposite! Every night for dinner they send over a dessert and stick it under my nose. Axier deliberately puts chocolate bars in Whiteys lunch pack and finally Gary put a house brick in my suitcase as I 'needed the exercise.' But as they say, what goes around comes around so I am planning something big this week using tobasco sauce and chilli in their food.
Till next week,
I was keen to help out with the challenge and take the captain's badge from Andrew. I have known Jonesy for almost 10 years now and I can remember when he was fit, only just, and keen for him to get back to his football playing weight. There is still time to join the Hawthorn Hawks rookie list!
In general the week has been a success. Every day we have been for a walk between 5 and 10km daily. We have boxed, kicked the footy, and Jonesy has done very well to watch what goes down the hatch. In fact the XXXXL Craft jacket he's got is swimming on him now.
I have also tried to test the big fella with some desserts and the odd drop of Vino but he's holding very strong indeed. Milan San Remo weekend will be tough for him to hold off the Vino though, especially if we win!
It's definitely harder to keep a program going on the road as they are pretty long days here, sometimes working from 7am to 10pm but the lifestyle program has to take a high priority, and we are both motivated to keep it going.
Life on the road with a professional cycling team presents a few challenges for Dan. Not only does he have almost unlimited access to a mass of high energy snacks, drinks, and hotel buffets, but the notorious early starts and late finishes can make it very hard to keep a normal routine, particularly with respect to training.
Knowing the difficulty of eating a low carb diet in land of pizza and pasta, I hoped we could at the very least balance this out if Dan maintained his daily training sessions, even moderately increasing the intensity of his training.
To do this we recruited a good mate and Sports Director, Matt White. Whitey's background as a professional cyclist makes him a perfect training partner for Dan. He knows the right way to motivate and push Dan but equally important, he knows not to break him.
Having a network of people around to support you whilst changing your lifestyle for the better, particularly in the early stages, is perhaps one of most important factors in its success or failure. One study by Indiana University found that the drop-out rate after 12 months of those training with a partner was only 6%, compared to 43% of those who exercised alone.
Training with a partner is not only more social but it's easier to add variety in the training sessions by including some boxing as Dan and Whitey have done for example, or setting little challenges for each other. Getting out of bed in the morning when it's cold and raining outside might also be a bit less painful knowing your mate will be knocking on your door in 5 minutes to head out with you.
On top of that, two inherently competitive personalities such as Dan and Whitey will naturally push each other that little bit harder in their training sessions, than if they were to train alone.
Another hurdle for Dan in these early weeks is learning how to deal with those around him who might be resistant to him changing his old ways. As we have seen this week with Dan it's been a couple of the guys, in good humour, tempting him with chocolates or giving him a hard time when dessert is served up. This is a really common story from people who decide to go on a diet or embark on major lifestyle change as Dan is. It's thought that this 'sabotage' often occurs when a family or friend is (consciously or subconsciously) concerned that they will lose something of the old person they are familiar and comfortable with, and attempt to keep them the way they are.
It's important for Dan to make it clear to those around him how important it is to have everyone's support, and that the only thing that this lifestyle will change to Dan as a person, will be his waistline.
We're all looking forward to next week's weigh in, but until then keep the messages of support coming via twitter to @ozDanJones and @Andrew_Gerrans, and thanks again to those who have donated to our every day hero page, Keeping up with Jonesy.
Keeping Up With Jonesy offers up a record of Dan's quest from his personal perspective as well as shares the perspective of the man behind his mission – Andrew Gerrans. Andrew, Simon Gerrans' younger brother, is the team osteopath and a self-described fitness nut with a nutrition background, and he has been charged with overseeing this project.
