About the work
|Opportunity attribute name
|Opportunity attribute value
|Why the work is being done
|The Home Office is seeking to replace an intelligence capability that is vital to the UK Law Enforcement Community. The legacy solution used for the management, storage and analysis of intelligence is a large monolithic application. The replacement capability will be developed within a modular framework based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that provides greater speed of change and reduced operating cost.
|Problem to be solved
|The Authority is seeking either an individual supplier or consortium that can use evolutionary development techniques to deliver subsystems and provide capability to support data profiling, migration and transformation using system APIs. The activity also includes development of marts and initial reports for business MI to enable a transition to self service operation. Migration is an essential part of the ongoing development process and needs to be performed incrementally and repeatably on a combination of synthetic and live data across different environments.
|Who the users are and what they need to do
The primary users of the THEMIS system overall will be from Law Enforcement and will include operational users (such as intelligence officers and operations managers) and business users (e.g. system administrator or inspectors).
Some indicative examples of user needs for the Management Information component might include:
- As an Inspector, I need to view a report showing the number of legal authorisations of a particular type that have been granted within a time window.
- As an Operations Manager, I need to view the workload of my staff so that I can understand how to adjust the allocation of work.
|Early market engagement
|Any work that's already been done
The Design and Architecture team have performed a significant amount of user engagement across all stakeholder organisation to define the user requirements. These have been captured as a business capability map, key capability concepts, user stories (capturing functional requirements), user journeys, scenarios, and user personas.
These requirements have been used to develop an initial Themis architecture model that articulates the key elements of the Themis system as well as some key architecture principles informed by a proof of concept.
|Existing team
The Authority is supported by a Design & Architecture function which includes:
- A product owner;
- A business analysis team;
- An architecture team.
The remainder of the team will be procured to build the Themis solution as follows:
- Lot 1: Framework and DevOps pipeline (supplier chosen)
- Lot 2: Operations and Intelligence Management (procurement in process)
- Lot 3: Process and Oversight (procurement in Q3 2019)
- Lot 4: Analysis and Nominals (procurement in Q3 2019)
- Lot 5: Data Transformation, Migration and MI (this lot)
- Lot 6: UI Framework (procurement in process)
|Current phase
Work setup
|Opportunity attribute name
|Opportunity attribute value
|Address where the work will take place
It is anticipated that development activities will be conducted from the suppliers own location.
Some non-development members of the suppliers team will be required to work from locations in proximity to the Home Office (2 Marsham Street) in London on a regular basis for coordination activities. Work may be required at other locations nationally from time to time.
|Working arrangements
Suppliers are required to participate in collaborative planning and delivery involving the wider Themis supply chain for each programme increment using a tailored SAFe approach. This will require some members of the team to work in proximity to the Home Office (2 Marsham Street) in London on a regular basis, and some development
activities will be conducted from the suppliers own location. For data migration it will be necessary to undertake some work at customer sites across the UK due to the protective marking of the material.
|Security clearance
SC level clearance is required as a minimum for staff working under this contract or any subcontracts.
The supplier must have a location and technology to support development up to and including Official Sensitive.

Questions asked by suppliers
|Supplier question
|Buyer answer
|1. Are you able to provide any information about the current technology being used to host THEMIS and any indication what you are planning to use for the future?
|We will be using a hosting environment based upon kubernetes and docker which will be deployed onto stakeholder provided infrastructure. Deployment will be achieved via the CI/CD pipeline provided by Lot 1.
|2. Is there an expectation for the supplier to provide ongoing support/DEVOPS?
|No, this is being delivered as part of Lot 1.
|3. What is the mechanism for document, source code and data transfer between the client and suppliers?
|Suppliers are assumed to have an Official Sensitive environment. It will be possible to connect to the CI/CD pipeline to pull and push code and images. It is envisaged that the Lot 1 supplied knowledge management environment will be used to store documents and wiki style information.
|4. Could you please provide any additional detail on the downstream evaluation process? In particular the likely requirements for a proposal (beyond the outline criteria provided) and time scales for submission.
|Once evaluation of Stage 1 has completed the successful suppliers will be given more detail of what to include in their proposal, and additional information about the project. The deadline for proposal submission will be three weeks after the Request For Proposal material is distributed.
|5. Are you open to deploying your application on PaaS platforms such as OpenShift or PCF?
|Our target deployment state will be Kubernetes/Docker/Istio.
|6. What is the volume of data? (daily, historical and current)
|Our current understanding of the data held on the legacy system can be provided to suppliers who make it through to stage 2, although more detailed analysis is still required.
|7. How many phases are planned for the migration?
|The detailed approach to the migration will need to be defined and agreed between the D&A Function, the supplier of this Lot, and relevant stakeholders.
|8. Does the existing database adhere to any standards? What standards are to be followed/ adhered for the migrated data?
|The existing database is a bespoke Oracle database. The migration target will be populated via APIs so the target persistence schema is not relevant. The D&A Function will outline a handover format derived from other stakeholders within the domain.
|9. Are you planning to or would be open to using container based platforms such as Docker and kubernetes?
|Yes, we are planning on Kubernetes/Docker/Istio.
|10. Please provide an overview of your current development process. Can the supplier propose their own Development accelerators and frameworks?
|Development has not yet started, although planning with the Lot 1 supplier to design the CI/CD pipeline within a SAFe deliver model is ongoing. We are currently working on establishing a definitive set of processes and ConOp with the Lot 1 supplier.
|11. What ETL tool is currently used? We need this information to ascertain our migration strategy for in As Is if data is being fetched from multiple sources.
|There is no current migration capability. Tooling choices will need to be worked through with the chosen supplier. We have a preference for open source, low cost and open interfaces.
|12. Do you currently have DevOps capability? If yes, please provide the details else can supplier recommend the DevOps approach.
|Our DevOps capability will be provided by our Lot 1 supplier.
|13. We are assuming that there are upstream systems from where the legacy intelligence system gets data feeds (or pulls data from these up steam systems). Is there any requirement to build / rework/ wrap integrations/interfaces with these upstream systems, to have continuity of the data flow?
|We will require you to build extraction components to obtain information in a repeatable manner from the source Oracle database and possibly other stores. Further upstream integration to solutions which consume information from THEMIS will be addressed in other Lots and subsystems, based upon the patterns and general approach outlined in this Lot.
|14. How are integrations currently built and managed?
|Please see response to Q13.
|15. We understand that you are going on a journey to SOA and Micro services – Is there a preferred technological stack such as Java, Spring boot, Angular etc..?
|Not at this time; we are evaluating the detail of this with other Lot providers. We do not believe that this should be unduly relevant to this Lot as the migration targets will be accessed via their API. Our requirement is that this Lot is developed using relevant technologies, possibly including our process engine.
|16. Is it possible to share the To Be architecture, or a high level list of specs, so that an aligned solution can be recommended?
|This will be provided to the suppliers who make it through to stage 2 of the competition.
|17. Is there any requirement for supplier to do process migration as well from the existing legacy application?
|Process state is currently expressed as business data in the source system. It may prove necessary to instantiate processes in our process engine in the target system
|18. Does the application involve semi or unstructured data?
|The data is mainly well structured and transactional, with some CLOB storage of XML documents. As commonly occurs in legacy solutions, there are a number of large text based comments fields with variable data quality.
|19. Do you have requirement for big data based data management and analytics solution?
|No. The scope of THEMIS is not to build a data fusion platform and existing data volumes do not require this approach. Scalability is important to us, however.
|20. Please suggest, if Any specific tools or technology has been already identified for the target system, for reporting, creating data mart etc. For e.g. PowerBI, Qlikview
|No specific tools or technology choices have been made yet. We expect to work through these choices with the chosen supplier. We have a preference for open source, low cost and open interfaces.
|21. Has the Home office identified or is interested in any specific migration, data profiling or data transformation tool? If yes, please suggest.
|Please refer to Q20.
|22. Can supplier propose their own framework and accelerator for migration, data profiling and transformation?
|In principle, yes, but we have views on modularity and extensibility, plus any use of proprietary software within THEMIS would need to be assessed. We expect to work through the detailed approach with the chosen supplier.
|23. Please clarify, if this work scope is only for Lot5 – Data Transformation, Migration and MI, or we need to consider requirements for other lots as well.
|Only Lot 5. The other Lots are being run as separate procurements through DOS, although all suppliers will need to collaborate to deliver an integrated solution.
|24. We understand that the Home Office is planning to migrate a Legacy Intelligence solution. Is there an identified target platform and Dbase you want to migrate to?
|There will be several target databases. Migration will be via an API so the target database is not a concern.
|25. Which database is currently being used?
|The source database is Oracle.
|26. Please can the authority confirm whether a supplier can be awarded more than one Lot? i.e. if a supplier is awarded one of the lots will they be precluded from winning any of the others?
|The chosen supplier will be free to bid for future Lots.
|27. Can you clarify what is meant by "suitable location and technology" to support development at Official Sensitive, with particular emphasis on the "technology" aspect?
|Please refer to the Government Security Classifications guidance for the specific requirements for working at OS: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/715778/May-2018_Government-Security-Classifications-2.pdf
|28. When referring to an Official Sensitive "environment", are you referring to data residing on the infrastructure/product/service rather than the physical office environment?
|Both the technical and physical development environments will need to be accredited for working at Official Sensitive.
|29. Can you please share the security aspects letter for Themis suppliers, or give more information about the specific criteria/requirements regarding having "a suitable location and technology" to support software development at Official Sensitive.
|Please refer to the Government Security Classifications guidance for the specific requirements for working at OS: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/715778/May-2018_Government-Security-Classifications-2.pdf

Here we are in 2017 where practically the entire world is open to explore, not just via the World Wide Web, but through personal experience.
Yet, despite the relative ease of travel and the magnitude of information available, there are still some interesting and some really bizarre myths floating around about the "country called Africa".
Here are some of the more interesting Africa myths we've encountered and yes, we do dare you to share, giggle and perhaps enlighten those you may encounter who do perhaps not know any better.
1. A country?
The myth: Africa is a single country
The facts: Africa is not one single country, but a continent consisting of 54 very diverse and independent countries.
Countries with their own currencies, flags, national anthems and cultures where more than 2,000 languages are spoken and where four of the world's 10 fastest growing economies can be found.
To add some perspective, if Europe, the USA, India, China and Japan were to be combined, they would all actually fit in to Africa.
2. What's your lion's name?
The myth: People keep wild animals as pets and they roam freely in the streets.
The facts: While we are very proud of our offering of diverse and unique wildlife and ocean life, the chances of meeting someone's pet lion or for someone to keep a seal in their backyard in the city or suburban areas are quite unlikely.
Special emphasis and effort is put toward nature and wildlife conservation throughout Africa, which means that reserves and national parks play an important role in keeping the people and animals of Africa safe.
3. Never a rainy day
The myth: The weather is always hot in Africa
The facts: The diversity of the varying landscapes within Africa means that the weather fluctuates with some countries having rainy and dry seasons and some even snow in winter. There are ski resorts in Morocco and quite a few other African countries.
4. Ever heard of a smartphone?
Myth: Africa has no access to modern technology
The facts: This cannot be farther from the truth. Technology in Africa is actually an incredibly fast growing market, with many global technology giants making big investments in the continent. It can even be said that Africa would be lost without modern technology and that we boast some of the thought leaders in this sphere who are opening up digital cultural spaces or working to bring in investment for tech startups.
5. Safari, safari, safari
Myth: Safaris are the only activity Africa has to offer
The facts: Yes, an African safari is a truly amazing experience, however this is not where the fun and excitement ends. City to bush or beach, adrenaline packed, luxury to authentic, Africa offers something for everyone.
From skydiving in Swakopmund to the adrenaline rush on a visit to Victoria Falls, bungee jumping or white-water rafting, Africa is a place for the adventurous at heart. Alternatively opt for a more leisurely pace visiting Cape Town's wine routes or indulge in the rich flavours of the cuisine Mozambique.
Africa will not disappoint.

An ecstatic Lewis Hamilton won his home British Grand Prix for the third year in a row Sunday and his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg's overall lead was slashed to a single point.The Briton's 47th victory added to his momentum in a championship that Rosberg started off dominating with four wins in a row but has since turned in Hamilton's favor.In a race that began behind the safety car after heavy rain, before starting properly at the end of the fifth lap, Hamilton led from pole to become the first driver to win three times in a row at Silverstone.Hamilton is now the closest he has been to Rosberg this season and can take the overall lead in Hungary in two weeks' time.

No matter how much you do not want to leave your Bichon, it is inevitable that it will happen sooner or later. But leaving your Bichon should not cause that much trouble if you can get the services of a reliable dog sitter.
A dog sitter is someone who can take care of your dog while you are away - much like a babysitter with babies. The only problem now is how do you choose a dog sitter who will take care of your loving pet while you are away. Here are some tips that may help you in choosing a dog sitter.
Ask Around for a Bichon Sitter
One of the best ways to find the that dog sitter you want is by asking other people who have asked for the help of dog sitters. This can be your neighbors or your relatives. By word of mouth, they can tell you whether a certain sitter is good at his job or not. They may also be able to refer you to sitters whom they have had good experiences with.
Ask Your Bichon to Give a Recommendation
Look in the directory for people who offer their services as dog sitters. You can ask these potentials to go to your house and let them interact with your dog. You can base your decision whether to hire that person or not by observing the chemistry between your dog and him or her. If you think they have good chemistry, then you can go ahead and ask for that sitter's services. But if they do not go along well with each other, then thank the sitter for his or her time.
Someone With Experience Dealing With Bichons
You want somebody who has had experience in the area of dog sitting. Most of the time, somebody with experience will somehow give better service than newbies, but this not usually the case. You could also hire somebody with little experience if you, with your instincts, tell you that he or she will be a good dog sitter for your pet.
Make Sure the Bichon Sitter Has Insurance
Even though it is not a must, it would still be good if the dog sitter you hire has insurance. This will somehow ensure the safety of your dog although this does not necessarily ensure that your dog will be given total quality care.
Read the Fine Print If Your Sitter and You Have a Contract
Be sure to choose someone who is willing to undergo signing of contracts on whatever agreement you may both have. This will somehow show the character of the dog sitter – he or she will really do his or her best to take care of your dog. Aside from the character evaluation, this will also give you written and legal proof if something goes wrong along the way.

The Berejiklian government says it will push ahead with plans to forcibly merge two northern Sydney councils despite its decision not to appeal a court ruling which blocked the amalgamation.
The government this week missed the deadline to appeal a NSW Court of Appeal ruling that the proposed merger between Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby councils could not proceed in its current form.
The court found Ku-ring-gai Council had been denied procedural fairness because the government failed to provide access to two reports used to justify the mergers.
But a spokesman for Local Government Minister Gabrielle Upton on Friday told AAP the government remained committed to the merger "given the clear benefits it will have for the local communities".
"There are a series of matters before the courts ... which is why the government is not considering one case in isolation," he said in a statement.
The government now has the option of going back to the Boundaries Commission - an independent statutory authority - to restart the merger process.
Ku-ring-gai Council mayor Jennifer Anderson says the government's decision not to challenge the ruling shows its forced council mergers policy is "fatally flawed".
"Our ratepayers should not be subjected to an undemocratic process based on secret reports, which has no demonstrable benefit to them, only to see their rates increase by up to 30 per cent in five years' time," she said in a statement to AAP.
The council says its made several requests to meet with Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Ms Upton to discuss the council's future but have heard nothing.
The government is facing four other legal challenges over proposed mergers with Woollahra Council's appeal due to be heard in the High Court next month.
Greens MP David Shoebridge says the Ku-ring-gai court decision had challenged "every forced amalgamation that has either happened or been threatened to date".
"The Court of Appeal said the obvious, that it is blatantly unfair to forcibly amalgamate a local council on the basis of a secret report," he said in a statement.
Mr Shoebridge has urged the government to abandon the "undemocratic" policy.
There are 20 already-amalgamated councils across NSW with five more to be created in Sydney if their legal challenges are unsuccessful.
Ms Berejiklian decided to walk away from proposed regional mergers but forge ahead with those in the city after she replaced Mike Baird as premier in January.

The Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society Organizations (CBCS) convened the Bangsamoro Multi-Sectoral Leaders' Summit for Unity and Solidarity with120 participants from Western Mindanao, Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Central Mindanao, and Davao Region at the Royal Mandaya Hotel Davao City on December 5-9, 2016.
Guiamel M. Alim said that there were 10 provincial consultations conducted in Davao City, General Santos City, Cotabato City, Pagadian City, Iligan Ciity, Provinces of Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Zambaonga City and 4 regional assemblies. "We have conducted those consultations and assemblies prior to this multi-sectoral summit in Davao", Alim said.
The theme for this event is "Towards Creating a Platform for Consensus-Building among Bangsamoro Stakeholders.
"We invited the OPAPP, MILF, MNLFs, CSO leaders and academe so that they share updates on the peace processes and what are their prospects on Bangsamoro Basic Law and Federalism", Alim told Luwaran in an interview.
Alim said that the summit issued a unity and solidarity declaration as one of the highlights of the program. He also disclosed that they will be sending official letter to MILF and MNLF leadership, to the Office of the Philippine President, and a letter of appeal to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
The participants said in their declaration that, they COLLECTIVELY COMMIT TO:
1. Relentlessly pursue the call for unity and solidarity among our leaders;
2. Reach out to the different stakeholders and communities to build constituencies to support the peace process;
3. Engage in sustained intra-Moro dialogue and consultations with the various stakeholders in the Bangsamoro;
4. Support the Bangsamoro Fronts in coordinating their efforts towards a draft law that will create/ strengthen self-governance of the Bangsamoro as part of our exercise of the right of self-determination; and
5. Directly engage the government, the Moro Fronts, the Philippine Congress, and local government units to appeal for their support to lead the peace process to a successful end.
Other concerns presented and agreed upon during the summit Mindanao is the creation of the BM-PUSH or Bangsamoro Platform for Unity, Solidarity, and Harmony towards consensus building that serves as mediators-insiders in the peace processes.

The article is not a substitute for legal advice. See here for the site's reposting policy.
When an agricultural lease ends, usually no problems arise, and the tenant gladly turns the farmland back to the landowner. A recent case out of Illinois highlights issues that can occur when farmland has multiple owners, and a co-owner wants to terminate the lease while the other co-owner wants the lease to continue. The current tenant in this case continued to farm the leased property even though one co-owner wanted to end the lease. In that case, the trial court awarded over $62,000 to the co-owner for damages caused by the tenant holding over.
Doug leased a piece of farmland co-owned by his aunt Ruth and his dad Robert under an oral farmland lease. Ruth owned an undivided 75-percent interest in the farmland and Robert held an undivided 25-percent interest in the farmland. In 2016, Doug failed to pay a portion of the rent for the 2016 crop year, and Ruth sent him written notice she was terminating the lease. In the written notice, Ruth gave Doug a date in February 2017 to turn over possession of the property. Robert did not agree that the lease should be terminated and told Doug to continue farming the land without Ruth's consent. Doug continued to farm the property in 2017 and did not pay any rent that year or make a final rent payment for 2016. Ruth sued Doug to terminate the lease in late 2017 and at trial was awarded damages of $62,726, the portion of the 2016 rent not paid and all of the 2017 rent. Doug appealed that decision.
Court of Appeals Reasoning
On appeal, Doug argued that the trial court erred in awarding the holdover damages. The Appellate Court of Illinois turned to the Illinois Code which governs holdover damages. The Illinois Code's holdover damage statute provides damages when:
According to the court, the willful holdover damage provision allowed for double the yearly value of rent when a tenant willfully holds over. To the court, the tenant willfully held over after the tenant received written notice of termination. According to previous decisions of the Illinois Supreme Court, a holdover is not willful when the tenant continues to have a reasonable belief that the tenant could rightfully stay on the property.
The other issue the court of appeals had to handle was about cases where co-owners do not agree on terminating a tenant's lease. Prior decisions in Illinois allowed for one co-owner to provide notice to terminate a lease without the approval of the other co-owner(s). The court of appeals saw no reason to disagree with these prior decisions in this case.
Reviewing the facts, Ruth had given Doug written notice to terminate. Doug ignored this notice and continued to farm the property without paying rent. Based on these facts, the court of appeals upheld the findings of the lower court.
Why Care?
Similar to Illinois, Maryland also has a holdover statute allowing landlords to collect damages for the holdover. Maryland's law does not provide similar double damages for a willful holdover. Maryland's holdover damage statute limits damages to no less than the rent owed for the holdover period. Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-402.
The other reason to care is knowing who has to provide notice to terminate a lease in rented farmland with multiple co-owners. In this case, the tenant rented the farm with an oral lease, and the courts used prior decisions to determine when and how a co-owner must give proper notice.In cases where farmland has multiple co-owners, it is in the tenant's best interest to consider a written farmland lease specifying which landowner can provide notice to terminate. Find other good solutions and considerations by taking a look at the Agricultural Leasing page on the University of Maryland's website.

Wanted to know if radha (as called and worshipped by north indians) and nappinnai .. our neela devi nachiyar are one and the same.
Namaskaram swami
Wanted to know if radha (as called and worshipped by north indians) and nappinnai .. our neela devi nachiyar are one and the same.
Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,
Dear Ramanujadasi Bhagavata,
Here is a link where Swami has said Sri Radha is "Personification of Bhakthi". So SriRadha is not Sridevi or Bhoo devotee or Nila devotee.
SriRadha story is NOT available in Puranas or Srimadh BhagavAtam.
North Indian great poets/gurus like Chaitanyacharyar has explained based on:
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.30.28
anayaradhito nunam
bhagavan harir isvarah
yan no vihaya govindah
prito yam anayad rahah
anaya — by Her; aradhitah — perfectly worshiped;
The name Rādhā is derived from this verse, from the words anayārādhitaḥ, meaning "by Her the BhagavAn SriKrishna is worshiped."
The name "Rādhā" is derived from the root word āRādhana, which means "worship." The personality who excels all in worshiping Kṛṣṇa may therefore be called Rādhikā (feminine gender) , the greatest servitor.
Since Veda Vyasar has not mentioned about Radha character in Mahabharatam, Srimadh Bhagavatam and Vishnu Puranam, we should consider the REAL meaning of RADHA as:
"Anyone who perfectly workships BhagavAvan SriKrishna can be called as Radhika or Radha, which is nothing but the "Personification of Bhakthi" or a "Pure state of Bhakthi" So each one of us should reach to that pure State of Bhakthi, which is nothing but the meaning of Radha (derived from 'aRadhadhito' as in the verse).
Therefore, each Acharyas(poets) primarily in north side DEVELOPED THE CHARACTER using the same Name 'Radha' in their granthams/POEMS that they wrote, inorder to APPLY the Real meaning of the verse aRadhitah , so we Bhaktas could do the 'Pure Bhakthi' to SriKrishna BhagavAn.
So each one of us are Radha, if we exhibit the pure Bhakthi as described by BhagavAn in the above verse.
Adiyen Sri Velukkudi Krishna Dasan,
Uyya Oraey Vazhi UdayavAr ThiruvAdi,
Sarvam SriKrishnarpanam Asthu.
Thanks a lot kongil pirati bagavatha🙏 requesting one more clarification pls. Choosing name for my kid born on this month und madhagalitran day. Wanted to give neela devi nachiyars name which is easily callable. Saw that neela suktam is also called as aditi suktam. Wanted to confirm if aditi comes under neela devi thayar namavali also any other names other than nappinnai which i can choose from.
Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,
Bhagavatas Thiruvadikku Pallandu for Beautiful mana yennam to keep Thayar's name for Bhagavatas baby.
'Aditi, is SriDevi Thayar's (MahaLakshmi) thiru naamam as seen in Lakshmi Asthothara Satha naama stotram and not Neeladevi Thayar's thiru naamam.
அதிதிம் (Aditim) ச, திதிம், தீப்தாம், வஸுதாம், வஸுதாரிணீம் |

Three Nachiyaars of ParaVasudevan in ParamaPadham:
* Sridevi is Mahalakshmi Thayar. Sita, Rukmini are their avatarams.
* Bhudevi is Bhoomadevi Thayar. Andal is their avataram.
* Neeladevi Thayar took avataram as Nappinnai.
Please also check Swami's Neela Devi Thayar Vaibhavam, if Swami mentions any other names for Neela Devi Thayar. If adiyen come across, adiyen will also share.
This youtube Playlist Link has:
MahaLakshmi Thayar Vaibhavam ( 6 parts),
Bhu Devi THayar Vaibhavam (2 parts),
Neela Devi Thayar Vaibhavam (4 parts).
Any Thayar's names are apt to keep for baby. Adiyen so far don't know Neela Devia Thayar's name other than Nappinnai. Only Swami can help about other names of Neela Devi Thayar. Radha is a good apt name as well reflecting Pure Bhakthi to SriKrishna. In Sampradhayam many keep Radha name as well. For BhagavAtas Information, Sri Velukkudi Swami's Thiru Thunaiviyaar (wife's) name is Radha. Swami and Maami is like Radha and Krishna.

Sri Ramanuja Munaye Namaha,
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,
Dear Ramanujadasi BhagavAta,
Adiyen found few beautiful names of Neela Devi Thayar from Swami's upanyasams, if this helps.
Neela, Nappinnai, AnanthaMangai, Roopa, Pulamangai, Malar.
நீளா , நப்பின்னை , ஆனந்தமங்கை , ரூப , புலமங்கை , மலர் .
There are many girls with these names already.
1st 4 names are from Swami's SriNeelaDevi Vaibhavam upanyasam (above youtube link).
PonnMangai –> SreeDevi (mahalakshmi), MannMangai –> Bhoomi Devi, AnanthaMangai –> NeelaDevi
Neela Devi Thayar is "Roopa Audharya Sampannaou"
(no one equivalent to her beauty and audharyam). Roopa name is more popular name in northside used in southside as well. In southside people name as "Roopasundari (ரூபசுந்தரி )" instead of Roopa, since roopa itself is not common in southside, so they add the tamil meaning of the roopa as sundari to the name itself.
Pulamangai due to Neela devi thayar enriches (nourishes) our pulan (indriyangal)
Malar name is from Swami's Thiruppavai upanyasam on Undhu Madha Kalattrin paasuram, where Andal (BhuDevi) says Nappinnai (Neela Devi) as Malar.

Simple homeworkmarket.com Programs — Some Thoughts
I've checked glass door, but the critiques feel polarized. I am looking for one thing on the facet to get experience and coaching since I'm principally self-taught. Additionally homework market review, I heard they offer lessons (free if hired), however would I be juggling courses and work or be anticipated to take the classes first? I actually would like the latter.
In a room full of design geeks, it was ironic that we unanimously agreed to go along with a design that defied quite a lot of what we had found in textbooks, and in design precedent's set by earlier editions. Guidelines like, «Don't break the spread,» «Do not use angled columns,» and «Keep away from reversed text homeworkmarket.com,» had been all ignored in this design. Lead by a workforce of bold editors desirous to stray from these rules we would inherited, we designed our way out of conference and into an aesthetic unique among the many catalog of the magazine's 30-12 months history.
7. The corporate is at all times on the lookout for new editors so as to add to its core group, of which many have been with the company for years. Remote editors need intelligence, editing capability homeworkmarket.com, and good time management skills. The veteran editors have these; they're a great group to work with.
Root Criteria In homeworkmarket — An Intro
Each EssayEdge and Scribendi provide editing providers to accommodate varied classes. Whereas Scibendi has extra variety in the content it edits, EssayEdge shines because the clear winner relating to their specialty: admissions essays.

Alternatively, Scribendi's web site is set up specific to the overall category of your essay, which is nice for those that have already got a clear understanding of their essay type and pointers.
Regardless of the place you look on the web site, you will not discover any discounts posted. We wanted to see at least a scale based discount of 10% for bigger orders. Nice homeworkmarket.com editing companies offer even up to 15% or more discount when you place your order for modifying a Dissertation of a hundred+ pages.
Another frequent grievance about Scribendi is the altering number of phrases after the enhancing is completed. For instance, some users submit a dissertation for proofreading, and once they get it again, it's 3,000 words shorter. No person can be too completely homeworkmarket happy about this, but prospects who need handy in their paper the subsequent day are notably distressed, as there isn't any method you possibly can improve your dissertation phrase count by 3,000 in just a few hours earlier than the deadline.
A Look At Rapid Solutions Of homeworkmarket.com
Clients aren't expected to take any measure of accountability for their very own work. You will note some truly abysmal writing on this job, and there appears to be no restrict to the expectations positioned on you to show it into one thing worthy of highest regard (regardless of how poorly conceived, constructed, and written it is on the subject of you). On the finish of the day, there's solely so much you can do with out extensively researching and rewriting concepts from scratch (a no-no at Scribendi, and rightly in order that isn't modifying), but purchasers anticipate issues to come back again to them with no further evaluate or writing necessary on their part, regardless of how filth-poor the unique was. The truth is, consumer complaints typically fall underneath the category of «I do not want to hold this transformation that the editor made,» and quite than merely rejecting that change in the evaluate process (a easy click on of a button), they complain and demand a redo or a refund.
After you edit a challenge and submit it again to the shopper it's their job to look it over and see if they approve of the work. If the work isn't any good they will reject it and if this occurs you don't get paid. Related Post: check these guys out Sadly purchasers seem to be abusing this means and Scribendi offers them what they need.
This service makes a speciality of enhancing admission essays, transforming them 'from good to great'. This narrow specification allows this company obtain excellence in doing their job. All editors are graduates from the top US colleges, together with Harvard and Yale, for instance. The company has consultants, who concentrate homework market on medical college purposes, MBA programs, legislation faculties and others. Yet another vital characteristic offered by Essay Edge is enhancing of letters of advice.

New Los Osos group is launching a tree-planting effort — and it starts this weekend
A newly formed group, Greening Los Osos, wants to encourage the community to participate in a widespread tree-planting effort in a bid to fight global warming and beautify the coastal community.
"We've lost so many trees in Los Osos in the past decade from development, disease, drought and now removal of a once plentiful water source — hundreds of septic tanks," organization president Tony Salome said. With the tanks gone, trees can no longer feed off the leach lines.
"We want to bring back the canopy we once had," Salome added.
Besides the iconic pigmy oaks of Los Osos, much of the tree canopy in the town did not sprout by itself.
In the 1920s and 30s, in an effort to draw people to the new town, developers planted some 20,000 trees in the Baywood district.
Visitors to Baywood still enjoy standing under those magnificent 70- to 80-year-old trees, many of them Monterey cypress, native to California.
"We think Los Osos is ready to plant new oaks, cypress and other drought-resistant trees all over town," Salome said.
This Saturday from 2 to 5 p.m., the group will hold an inaugural event at Sea Pines Golf Course in conjunction with Earth Day and Sea Pines' Barefoot on the Grass concert featuring Damon Castillo.
Attendees can talk to tree experts and see tree varieties, pick up free seedlings and view children's Earth Day artwork. They can also learn about planting and caring for trees and enter to win a ready-to-plant Monterey Cypress tree.
Sea Pines itself will be planting a cypress as as part of the event to encourage Los Osos residents to participate, donate and volunteer.
The golf course lost more than 100 pine trees over the past decade, mostly due to pine disease, said owner Gary Setting, who backs the community effort. To reach Greening Los Osos, email the group at email@example.com.

I guess they are using (2) 4 ohm sub woofers, wired in series … giving a 2 Ohm load?! Either way, it seems legit! The amplifier said to be responsible for A 4 or a 2 ohm load. And while the speakers also should be good to go! Good luck Jason

I added "of sobriety," and chose "gracefully accepting the path" to talk about today because it raises the point of the positive. Showing grace, knowing when it has descended upon you, is a positive, as I see it. Only in sobriety did I even know grace existed! It took several years for it to reach me, for me to know I was experiencing it.
Let me explain to you one moment of grace that I am experiencing as I type. It is the wee hours of the morning and I just popped awake, so got up and started writing on my website, changing it around, especially the description of my speaking and coaching services. And it is raining… spurts of fast, staccato drops, interspersed with slow, lazy ones.
I am not fond of the rain, especially when I am driving in it. Makes me nervous, especially because my wiper blades are the pits and I can barely see. You could even say I hate the rain, which is true. I hate being wet and cold… soggy. So, what am I going to do about it? I have a choice. I can bitch and moan about it to everyone when it rains, or I can accept that I don't like it and then take action.
I choose to take action, and so I go to the auto parts store and buy a new pair of blades. Oh my gosh! What a difference. I have been missing out on this pure delight for months now. I really digressed here… The point is, the fact that I am able to accept the rain as a fact of nature, and move forward in a positive manner, I define as grace. The fact that I can smile at the rain, knowing the season will end, and so being pleasant about it, is called grace.
Here's another example. My sobriety is because of the grace of God. You can call that higher being, or source, whatever you wish, and the point is, it was their grace that led to sobriety. It was a gift and I choose to graciously accept it as such.
Grace is what allows me to "flow" in the, with the, present moment. For example, I just got done taking a dozen eggs off the stove where I was making hard-boiled eggs. I was multi-tasking, I admit, writing the blog, as well as doing small things around the house. I actually got sidetracked because I went to fill up my coffee cup.
Anyway, grace allows me to flow from one activity to the next, just doing the next indicated thing that's presented for me to do, and being okay with that. It's like a dance, this flow, this going from one indicated thing to the next, and when we learn to join in the ballet, we experience grace.
How do you experience grace in your life? Is it similar for you to what I described? You're invited to share your thoughts. Leave a comment and let us know.
I see I have deviated from the topic implied by the title, and the discussion is equally interesting and valuable, I trust. Perhaps tomorrow I will address Gracefully Accepting the Path of Sobriety.
p.s. I notice a lot of people are visiting my website each day, and that number has been consistent lately. I am thinking that many of you are repeat visitors, following my blog. That's cool! I'm thinking that the blog is useful to you, or you wouldn't return. If that's the case, my heart fills with joy, for this is my hope, my passion.

What is now Rock Island Trail was formerly the Peoria and Rock Island Railroad Company railroad between Peoria and Rock Island, passing through the small towns of Alta, Dunlap, Princeville, Stark, Wyoming, and Toulon.
As the railroad corridor reverted to nature, much of the original tall prairie grasses have returned. These abundant native grasses compliment flowering perennials, hardwood trees, and wildflowers along the streams and rivers which cross the trail.
Enjoy more than 26 miles of uninterrupted nature!
Park Information
Improved access points to Rock Island Trail are at Alta, Wyoming and Toulon. Parking, water and pit toilets are located at access areas. Parking-only facilities are located at Dunlap (on Parks School Road) and Peoria/Stark County line (North Cedar Bluff Road, 00N). Where the trail intersects the small towns along its route of city streets and sidewalks, directional signs are utilized.
The park office is in the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Depot located in Wyoming. Since the depot is open as staffing is available, phone (309) 695-2228 or email email@example.com if planning a visit.

A person can be loyal to a place, a person, a cause, an ideal, a vision, to God, to their religion or religious community, to a value, a relationship, or a promise that has been made. A world without fidelity to these would be a world without bravery, integrity, trust, and love.
But something about how that word sometimes gets used makes me a bit uncomfortable. When I hear the word fidelity, I have mixed feelings. The reason is that fidelity is sometimes used to admonish people to be loyal in a way that is dogmatic and rigid. This kind of fidelity is being "loyal to a fault," as it is sometimes called. In reality to be steadfast to something oppressive and damaging, even selfish or simply misguided, runs counter to the whole intent of fidelity and distorts its value.
This reminds me of a wisdom story that illustrates the way fidelity can be distorted. There was a woman who was able to make fire. The people in her village were amazed. And a little afraid. The firemaker taught them how to use fire to keep warm in the winter and create light at night, to cook food and fire pottery, and to signal people from far away. The firemaker also taught them how to use fire carefully so it would not cause harm.
Eventually news spread of this woman's incredible gift. The firemaker travelled all over, teaching whoever wanted to learn to make fire. But the firemaker's popularity riled the village elders and the rulers of the region. They felt they were losing control of their reign and power. So one night they killed the firemaker. And they made it illegal to make fires.
The people loved the firemaker and were sad and afraid. The rulers wanted to get the people to stop thinking about the firemaker. They decided to build shrines to her to distract the people. This turned out to be a cunning plan. The people decorated the shrines to the firemaker and gathered at them to remember her. The people forgot what the firemaker had taught them. They grew accustomed to the cold once again. They stopped longing to dance and sing around a fire. They got used to eating cold food. Meanwhile, they remained faithful in paying homage at the shrines of the firemaker. But there was no fire. (adapted from various versions, http://www.stephenosb.co.uk/christian-life-room/meaning-stories/meaning-...)
Do we want to be loyal to shrines or fire? Do we want to pledge ourselves to making fire and to the vision of doing so or to those who have the power to make it happen? These questions invite us to think at a much deeper level about where to place one's trust and commitment and about what deserves and requires faithfulness. The story of the firemaker challenges people to be discerning about what their fidelity is in service to.
Being loyal to people, causes, or organizations that do not live up to their own promises, that are manipulative, that cause harm, or simply fail to create good can be unhelpful at best and destructive at worst – to ourselves and others. Some of the most visceral examples of fidelity gone awry are the cases of radicalization, mass violence, and mass murder. Claims of fidelity to a cause, even to a "godly" cause, can in reality be cases of being overzealous and entrenched in rigid, fanatical ways of thinking. Actions taken in the name of God and righteousness that cause injury and devastation reflect a distorted allegiance. This is true whether that allegiance is being pledged to a religious or political leader, to a cause, or an ideal.
The workplace offers a more complicated example. People used to be loyal to their work places, and companies were loyal to their employees. There was a value to that. People would often stay in the same job for their whole lives, devoting themselves to an organization and thriving as a result. That kind of job loyalty is less common today due to automation, globalization, and the weakening of unions since World War II. Too often we experience or hear of companies that focus more energy on the short-term rather than the long-term, and that too often treat employees as disposable. Too often they fail to foster employees' growth and development and fail to recognize their employees' contributions. (Rick Wartzman, Fresh Air, NPR, www.npr.org/2017/07/05/535626109/the-end-of-loyalty-and-the-decline-of-g...)
If employers do not foster a culture of appreciation and respect for employees' work and do not also adhere to some fundamental, reasonable standards, there is not likely going to be a deep-seated fidelity on the part of employees. In fact, loyalty to such a workplace is probably undeserved and ill-advised. This of course does not excuse employees from acting ethically and responsibly. This does not mean it is acceptable to do a bad job because the employer is unworthy. Nor does it mean that there is never a time to stick it out at such a job in service of a greater vision.
But there are parameters to fidelity. Fidelity is principled, rather than merely rigid and obligatory. The philosopher Gabriel Marcel crafted the term creative fidelity to try to describe this understanding of the term. He insisted that rather than a firm adherence to a position, to a moral code or dogma, fidelity requires something else. It requires a creative freedom that bubbles up from within a person. Marcel insisted that instead of focusing on unquestioningly fulfilling an obligation, fidelity means fulfilling creativity and love.
But here is the kicker. It is not just creativity to do whatever a person feels like doing. It is a creativity that is both free and responsible. One without the other can be shallow and short-lived, or even dangerous. Marcel insisted that creative fidelity is rooted in giving part of ourselves to others whether this means sharing, friendship, creating art, or other ways of giving of the self that binds us to others. That's the love part.
He took this idea a step further. Because people are fickle and changeable, he believed people also needed to be able to draw their strength to be loyal from something greater than themselves. Marcel called that source of strength the transcendent. This is the wellspring or the source, which holds us in its embrace, and which informs and animates our lives. Marcel also called it hope. Some people call it God.
The point is that the fidelity a person has to their own creativity connects them to others and is supported by a greater unity than themselves. Fidelity is undergirded by something holy, by a connection to something positive and a force greater than oneself. (Gabriel Marcel, "Creative Fidelity," Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, http://www.iep.utm.edu/marcel/#H4)
When we force ourselves to try to serve or act or be in certain ways that are not true to who we are and are not connected to that greater unity, we can do serious damage to our souls and also to others and to our planet. We can fail to be faithful to our own self and to the dream of Beloved Community which are inextricably linked.
Understood this way, fidelity can be seen as being in service to the betterment of life and all existence. It is congruent with the urge toward the good that is fundamental to our Unitarian Universalist principles. The urge to the good is expressed in the value we place on the worth and dignity of each person and the interconnectedness of all life.
Olympia Brown exemplifies this idea of creative fidelity. She was born in 1835 and devoted her life to ministry and women's rights. As you might imagine, there were many hurdles. She was one of only a few women to graduate from college and the first woman to go to theological school. Women were not welcome in theological school. She became the first woman graduate of a regularly established theological school, St. Lawrence University. In 1863 she was ordained as a Universalist minister. This made her the first woman to achieve full ministerial standing recognized by a denomination. Olympia Brown's daughter Gwendolen Brown Willis wrote that:
The ministry was the first objective of her life, since in her youthful enthusiasm she believed that freedom of religious thought and a liberal church would supply the groundwork for all other freedoms. Her difficulties and disillusionments in this field were numerous. That she could rise superior to such difficulties and disillusionments was the consequence of the hopefulness and courage with which she was richly endowed.
Her first full-time parish ministry was in Massachusetts, followed by ministry at a Universalist Church in Connecticut where after having her first child the congregation agitated to terminate her. She resigned and went to the Universalist church in Racine, Wisconsin, a church which was struggling and in decline. Writing of her work as a parish minister she said:
Those who may read this will think it strange that I could only find a field in run-down or comatose churches, but they must remember that the pulpits of all the prosperous churches were already occupied by men, and were looked forward to as the goal of all the young men coming into the ministry with whom I, at first the only woman preacher in the denomination, had to compete. All I could do was to take some place that had been abandoned by others and make something of it, and this I was only too glad to do.
She left ministry in her fifties to become an activist for women's rights. She led the Wisconsin Suffrage Association and served as Vice-president of the National Woman Suffrage Association. She believed in education as an avenue to women's advancement and worked to have women admitted to colleges.
In the Fall of 1920 she spoke to the Racine church about the changes since she was their minister. The reading from our hymnal, which we read responsively this morning, is an excerpt from that sermon.
It demonstrates Olympia Brown's fidelity to her own vision and to women's rights and Universalism supported by hopefulness and courage. She drew her strength she says, "always trusting in the one God which ever lives and loves." She remained loyal to women's rights efforts and Universalism not because either was perfect. As she says of Universalism, "do not demand immediate results but rejoice that we are worthy to be entrusted with this great message." The message resonated with her own deep-seated convictions and her own deep-seated abilities.
In her sermon, she testified to the value of Universalism to her life. She described it as
the faith in which we have lived, for which we have worked, and which has bound us together as a church. . . . Dear Friends, stand by this faith. Work for it and sacrifice for it. There is nothing in all the world so important to you as to be loyal to this faith which has placed before you the loftiest ideal, which has comforted you in sorrow, strengthened you for the noble duty and made the world beautiful for you. (http://uudb.org/articles/olympiabrown.html)
May we, like Olympia Brown, draw strength and courage from the source of love and spirit of life, always held in the embrace of hope.
This morning I encourage you to spend a little time this week reflecting on what fidelity looks like in your life. What makes it possible for you to be loyal to something beyond yourself – to be deeply bound in interpersonal relationships and to your principles? What step, word, prayer or song is yours to share so that there will be peace and love and joy and beauty and singing for everyone?
Amen. Blessed be.
