One of our largest wild flowers which you can see now is the Foxglove which is predominately purple but white also as in the photo. Their name comes from the folklore that bad fairies gave the flowers to foxes to put on their feet to soften their tread, must work as I don't see a lot of foxes! The latin for the flower is Digitalis Purpurea. Digitabulum means thimble in latin and the medicine digitalis comes from the plant as well, but beware the plant is poisonous, the juice is known as Dead Man's Fingers.
I found this moth settled on some cowberry leaves just at the back of Fairy Hill. It was hard to identify as this particular moth has various variations in colour. Its called a Barred Red or Hylaea Fasciaria and its caterpillars feed on Scots Pine trees.
If you are hearing what sounds like Herons calling in the woods at the back of the Community Hall it may not be what you're thinking. I have more and more been observing four Jays,with difficulty I might add as these birds are very shy but vocal, watch for the flash of blue and white as they pass at speed.
Another moth hard to identify but I think its a Silver Ground Carpet Moth or Xanthorhoe Montana in latin.
When out walking ,look for the flash of red in the Blaeberry/Cowberry forest floor, you might find this fungi which is parasitic to the Cowberry.
Every year people ask me who's been spitting on the heathers? Well its not us but a wee bug called a Philaenus Spumarius !!! or Froghopper which is easier. Its also known as Spittle Bugs as they produce a foamy substance for the nymph to hide in protected as its very bitter to the birds.
There are a few different Orchids out at the moment, one of the more common being this Spotted Orchid found in a group of three others in the woods at the back of the Hall. It is a species of marsh orchid and hybridises freely with the Heath Spotted/Early Marsh and Northern Marsh Orchids. So identification can be hard sometimes,notice the spots on the leaves and how pale this one is.
The film this week is of a young Long Tailed Tit preening himself. There were seven of them and activity was rapid to say the least,therefore I was lucky just to get this with my wee digi. It was filmed just off one of the tracks leading out of Loch Vaa.


text: Share: Comments Print November 25, 2008 at 1:23 PM Franchione says no contact Posted by Percy Allen Dennis Franchione was a guest on KJR-AM this morning and said he had not been contacted by UW officials about the Washington head coaching position. You should be able to find the interview here. He said it's an attractive job and sounded as if he'd be interested. One thing to remember is that UW officials are attempting to keep as much plausible deniability alive for everyone involved in the search by talking to agents or third parties instead of the candidates themselves. Gary Pinkel made that clear in his comment that UW officials had talked with his agent. So someone saying there has been no contact doesn't necessarily rule them out. But in this case, it shounded as if Franchione hasn't been contacted in any way. MORE COACHING STUFF — Rivals.com has an interesting roundup of a lot of coaching news. Most interesting may be that it says Butch Davis is not leaving North Carolina and won't be a candidate at UW or Tennessee. This story also lists Bobby Hauck as a possible candidate, but I just don't see it due to his Rick Neuheisel connections here, if nothing else. Comments

Mamma Chia – Blueberry Pomegranate + Ginger Lime Chia Vitality Beverages Review and Giveaway
Back when I was a new blogger, one of the first companies that I had the opportunity to review was Mamma Chia. Mamma Chia happens to be headquartered in the town over from me, and I see their truck at sampling's around town.
Since that first review, I have seen them at the Natural Products Expo as well at my local stores. This past year at the Natural Products Expo I hade opportunity to try Mamma Chia's new flavors of the Chia Vitaliity Beverages.
The products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge courtesy of Mamma Chia. This post may have affiliate links but this in no way will influence the review to follow and all opinions are my own.
Now that these Mamma Chia's Vitality Beverages are available to the general public, I had the opportunity to try them again, and they were just as good as they were in March.
The first flavor was the Blueberry Pomegranate Chia Vitality Beverage which had a nice blueberry flavor, and the chia seeds go down smoothly and are barely noticeable when drinking.
The second flavor was the Ginger Lime Chia Vitality Beverage has a nice ginger flavor that has a lime taste that comes second. Again the chia seeds go down smooth and easy and are not really noticeable when you drinking.
Each of Mamma Chia's Vitality Beverages are an excellent source of fiber, have 4 grams of complete protein, are vegan, contain Omega-3's and are gluten-free.
There is no doubt that chia is a superfood and there is no tastier way to have this superfood. I had the Blueberry Pomegranate today in place of lunch and found myself full by the time I reached the end of the bottle.
If you want a great way to start your day, get a Mamma Chia's Vitality Beverages.

HONG KONG, May 31 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's private home prices hit a record high for the sixth month in a row in April, reflecting a market fervour that the authorities are eager to tame, according to government data released on Wednesday.
The Asian financial hub is one of the least affordable places on earth, where a nano-apartment of less than 200 square feet can cost as much as $500,000.
The dearth of supply, low interest rates, and the flow of capital from mainland China pushed prices up over 137 percent since the financial crisis in 2008.
In April, home prices rose 2.12 percent from the previous month, according to an index compiled by the Rating and Valuation Department. The figure, at 327.4, surged nearly 20 percent year-on-year.
The latest index does not reflect the latest mortgage tightening measures announced by the city's de facto central bank earlier in May.
"If property prices keep breaking records in the next month or two, I expect the government to introduce new cooling measures," said property consultancy Knight Frank's Senior Director Thomas Lam in a text message.
He expects prices to rise 5 to 10 percent this year.
Despite the high prices and the government's tightening measures, the market fervour appeared undiminished as thousands flocked to snap up the 500 flats for sale at a new property project last Friday, with some saying they are eager to buy flats now before prices rise further.
Tackling the city's rocketing prices will be a major task for incoming leader Carrie Lam, who will be sworn in on July 1. (Reporting by Venus Wu; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)

These red velvet pancake puppies have white chocolate chips on the inside, and you can dip these warm red velvet treats into a sweet creamy cream cheese frosting. These treats would make a great addition for a party or a large gathering. These can be made in a jiffy. For more romantic recipes see my Red Velvet Sweetheart Collection! Along with Red Velvet Cake also see my Red Velvet Pancake Puppies
Red Velvet Pancake Puppies
- 1 box Duncan Hines cake batter 18 ounce size
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 cups of oil to fry
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese – at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl combine cake batter mix, water and 3 eggs. Use a blender to mix until the batter has no lumps. Add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips and mix in with a spoon. Use a 1 ounce cookie scoop to drop batter into hot oil. Fry on one side for approximately 1 minute and then flip over and fry on other side for about a minute. Remove pancake puppy onto a plate lined with paper towels. This grease will not be usable for anything but making these red velvet puppies, the oil will turn red. So be sure to make something else first and finish up with these.
- Make cream cheese dipping sauce by combining cream cheese and butter in a medium sized bowl. Beat together cream cheese and butter until they are light and fluffy. Add approximately 1/2 cup powdered sugar, into butter and cream cheese. Once the first portion of cream cheese has been incorporated add the next portion, and then the remaining powdered sugar.

Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal Surgery is a field of medicine dealing with disorders of the colon, rectum and anus.
Colorectal surgeons are experts in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. They have completed advanced surgical training in the treatment of these diseases as well as full general surgical training as well. Board-certified colon and rectal surgeons complete residencies in general surgery followed by colon and rectal surgery, and pass intensive examinations conducted by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery. They are well-versed in the treatment of both benign and malignant diseases of the colon, rectum and anus and are also able to perform routine screening examinations and surgically treat conditions if indicated to do so.
Benign disorders of the anus and rectum include hemorrhoids, anal abscesses, fissures, abnormal connections between the rectum and other structures or skin surface (fistulas), severe constipation conditions, fecal incontinence, protrusion of the walls of the rectum through the anus (rectal prolapse), treatment of severe inflammation of colon or small bowel, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis.
Family Practice
Family Practice is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. It is a division of primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body. It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, emphasizing disease prevention and promotion of health. The aim of family medicine is to provide personal, comprehensive, and continuing care for the individual in the context of the family and the community.
The specialist's title is Family Physician or Family Doctor. He or she is sometimes referred to as a General Practice Doctor or GP. This name emphasises the holistic nature of this speciality, as well as its roots in the family.
General Surgery
General Surgery is the surgical specialty that primarily focuses on the abdominal organs but may include many other types of surgical procedures performed on blood vessels, glands, surgical treatment, trauma surgery, skin procedures and cancer treatment.
General Surgeons have been educated and trained in the diagnosis and preoperative, operative, and postoperative management of patient care. The broad based nature of their education makes it possible for these physicians to perform many procedures in the performance of their jobs. They typically operate on common abdominal complaints including appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder surgeries, stomach and intestinal issues. This focus on the abdomen is not absolute, however, as general surgeons may specialize in a type of surgery, such as treating cancer or burns, that requires the surgeon to be able to perform procedures on multiple areas of the body.
Some may choose to go on to a specialty, but others enjoy the variety that makes up the day of a true general surgeon, and practice a wide assortment of procedures.
Gerontology is the is the study of the social, psychological, cognitive and biological aspects of aging. The science of gerontology has evolved as longevity has improved. Researchers in this field are diverse and are trained in areas such as physiology, social science, psychology, public health, and policy.
A more complete definition of gerontology includes the following:
- Scientific studies of processes associated with the physical, mental, and social changes in people as they age
- Multidisciplinary investigation of societal changes resulting from an aging population and ranging from the humanities (e.g., history, philosophy, literature) to economics
Gerontology should not be confused with Geriatrics. Gerontology is multidisciplinary and is concerned with physical, mental, and social aspects and implications of aging. Geriatrics is a medical specialty focused on care and treatment of older persons.
Although gerontology and geriatrics have differing emphases, they both have the goal of understanding aging so that people can maximize their functioning and achieve a high quality of life.
A Hospitalist is a dedicated in-patient physician who specializes in the practice of hospital medicine and works exclusively in a hospital.
A Hospitalist will manage patient care during the patient's hospitalization. Most hospitalists are physicians who have been trained in internal medicine (internists). Others have been trained in family practice, pediatrics, or a few other specialties. Hospitalists have undergone the same training as other internal medicine doctors including medical school, residency training, and board certification examination. The only difference is that hospitalists have chosen not to practice traditional internal medicine and works only with hospitalized patients.
An Intensivist, also known as a Critical Care Physician, is a board-certified medical doctor with advanced training and experience in treating critically ill patients. The Intensivist completes a fellowship in critical care medicine after finishing a residency in a field such as internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, anesthesia or surgery. Rather than focusing on specific body systems like Cardiologists (the heart and vascular system) or Pulmonologists (the lungs and respiratory system) Intensivists take a comprehensive approach to caring for ICU patients.
Internal Medicine
Internal Medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Subspecialties of internal medicine include allergy and immunology, cardiology (heart diseases), endocrinology (hormone disorders), hematology (blood disorders), infectious diseases, gastroenterology (diseases of the gut), nephrology (kidney diseases), oncology (cancer), pulmonology (lung disorders), and rheumatology (arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders).
Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called Internists. Internists are skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. Internists care for hospitalized and ambulatory patients and may play a major role in teaching and research. Because internal medicine patients are often seriously ill or require complex investigations, internists do much of their work in hospitals. Internists often have subspecialty interests in diseases affecting particular organs or organ systems.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. The goal in the study of pediatrics is to reduce infant and child rate of deaths, control the spread of infectious disease, promote healthy lifestyles for a long disease-free life and help ease the problems of children and adolescents with chronic conditions. Pediatrics is concerned not only about immediate management of the sick child but also long term effects concerning quality of life, disability and survival. Pediatricians are involved with the prevention, early detection, and management of problems including: developmental delays and disorders, behavioral problems, functional disabilities, social stresses, mental disorders including depression and anxiety disorders.
A Pediatrician is a child's physician who provides not only medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill but also preventive health services for healthy children. A pediatrician manages physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the children under their care at every stage of development, in both sickness and health.
Urology is the branch of medicine and physiology concerned with the function and disorders of the urinary system .
A Urologist is a physician who specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. This can include diseases affecting the bladder, urethra, ureters, kidneys, and adrenal glands, along with the epididymis, penis, prostate, seminal vesicles and testes specifically in men. Urology is commonly regarded as a surgical specialty.
Wound Care
Wound Care is concerned with treating wounds that don't heal. A Wound Care Center offers individualized wound, ostomy, continence care, as well as treatments, techniques, and teaching from specialized, trained and skilled professionals to adult and pediatric populations.
Common types of Wound Care services include: burns, chronic ulcers and wounds, compression dressings, diabetic foot ulcers, ischemic ulcers, lower leg wounds, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), neuropathic ulcers, other chronic, non-healing wounds, ostomy care, peristomal skin irritation, pressure ulcers, radiation burns, skin tears, slow healing surgical incisions, surgical wounds, traditional wound cares, and traumatic wounds.

I don't know what it is about reading but it makes me want to write. I have just started a new novel, then I left it at my boyfriend's house so I started another new novel, neglecting the original new novel like a week old toy. I'll go back to it once I'm done reading Gone Girl. I've watched the film twice and I think it's enthralling, so whilst I was looking for a Birthday gift for Jade I figured it would be a brilliant read. Yeah, it's a real shame I hadn't read the book before watching the film, but I'm doing this new thing whereby I don't dwell on what I cannot control and I must say it's blissful. Gone Girl is bordering on a girly story with the inclusion of a perfect couple and therefore a romantic element… It's the darkness I'm attracted to though.
Following Gone Girl I have Stephen King's new novel Finders Keepers. I'm feeling that losing myself in other worlds will be helpful right now.
I feel like there is so much and so little to say. I seldom write something worth while. I tend to write snippets of anger or worry. I'd like to just sit down, shut the world out and let the thoughts pour out before me, even if they're somewhat jumbled. Everything is jumbled anyway so it's to be expected. My last day at Wolgarston is this Thursday. This job saved me from impending insanity. It enabled me to appear normal. It enabled me to live out the dream of adulthood. Buying wall art, planning evenings in, cooking meals, choosing places to put beloved trinkets. I had my weekday job and my rented home at 21. Things were good. I had turned my pitiful life around. I was worth something. I was a normal person.
Last year everything fell apart and the normal life crumbled at my feet. The normal girl was once again replaced with a girl worryingly close to the edge. That girl doesn't care for cute trinkets and nice meals. She wallows in dark self-pity until it swallows her.
And that it did.
So what do I do with all my shiny, new spare time? It's going to be so strange leaving that place and walking into the unknown. It's incredible how much life changes from one year to the next. I'm looking forward to having some time. I'm not sure why but I need it. I have just let 3/4s of a year pass me by and I sit here very soon to be unemployed. What a waste of time. This time won't be wasted. It will be useful in ways I can't explain.
It's nice to see your life as chapters. It conveys acceptance of change, loss or gain. Just the use of the word shows strength. I am closing one chapter and I think the next one will be riveting, as life should be.
I start university in September… Who would have seen this coming? This could be the making of me. This could truly be my thing. I feel like I've always been looking for my thing, if that sounds familiar then you'll know how tough life is when you can't explain what is missing.
I can't picture my life in a few months time. I'll be a student. I'll be going in to lectures then grabbing a beer with my new pals. I'll be doing part time work, perhaps bar work at the weekends. I'll be constantly typing away on my laptop, always thinking about seeing these new friends. I'll be excitedly talking about my day to people I care about. I'll have discipline and passion. This is what I hope for anyway. I hope it's my thing. I hope I turn things around again.
I believe that it's okay to fuck up. Do it, fix it and learn from it. Christ, life is so short. If anyone wants to look down on me for having a tough time then go right ahead.
Or nod, smile and be reassuring. In the end what does it matter?

Five decades and four years have passed since the bloodthirsty Colonel Fermin Cowley Gallegos, under the dictartorship of Fulgencio Batista, assassinated 23 young men in the last days of December of 1956, a painful moment in the history of Holguin.
Days later after the landing of the Granma yacht, a brutal repression was carried out against those that opposed the tyranny, whose sad history began on December 23rd and ended on the 26th with the death of the last of the revolutionaries included in the dictatorship´s black list.
In the northern area of the former Oriente province in the territories known today as Holguin and Las Tunas, two men were savagely tortured and killed.
Operation Christmas Gift was a macabre plan organized by Cowley, head of the military Regiment in Holguin, as a reprisal for the revolutionary actions carried out days before like the uprising on November 30th in Santiago de Cuba and the landing of Granma Yacht two days later.
Members of the 26 of July Movement and the Socialist People´s Party, workers, union leaders and many young people without political affiliation, were savagely tortured and its bodies abandoned in highways, under bridges or hanged on trees.
The dictatorship´s strategy of smothering the fire lit with the landing of the Granma Yacht and provoking terror among the population never succeeded. The main people responsible of those assassinations would pay for their crimes on November 23rd of the following year when a commando belonging to the 26 of July Movement made justice.
Since then, the days of horror lived by the population and family of themassacred humble revolutionaries are known as the Bloody Christmas.
Each December 24th, the people of Holguin, in representation of Cuba, pay tribute to the martyrs of that monstrous event with a march to the obelisk built in their memory in the eastern city.

Office 2013 is the latest Office suite from Microsoft which is still in Customer Preview stage. The final version of Office 2013 is planned to be released in early 2013. ElcomSoft, a Russian security company, has been able to crack the security of Office 2013.
In addition to other enhancements and features, Microsoft has enhanced the security features of Office 2013. You can check the security overview of the new Office suite.
There are two tools provided by ElcomSoft to break Office 2013 passwords and other restrictions. The products include Advanced Office Password Recovery and Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery. The new versions of both the products now support Office 2013.
So what type of security is cracked? Newly updated tools enable the users to instantly lift restrictions such as document protection password or read only password and instantly unlock protected Excel spreadsheets.
Office 2013 uses SHA512 hashes with 256-bit encryption key which can take a huge amount of time to be cracked using brute force methods. So according to ElcomSoft, smart password attacks are pretty much the only way to go with Office 2013 security. The specified tools rely on a variety of smart attacks which include a combination of dictionary attacks, masks and advanced permutations to decrypt the passwords.
Although the GPU based cracking is not supported by the tools yet, it will be added in the future versions. Currently only multi-CPU based cracking is used to process all the cracking methods mentioned above.
Both the tools are very expensive and may be designed to be used by organizations and not individuals. The standard edition of Advanced Office Password Recovery is $99 while Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery costs $1199 for up to 100 clients.
For more information about the tools, you may read their press release PDF file. Please note that both the tools have not been tested by anyone yet so the claim can only be confirmed from someone who has already used these products.

Oh, please do not get me wrong.
This new section is not about computers, electronics or
any engineering stuff, but rather I am currently constructing
a new corpus based on Spectrum, the monthly publication
from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers USA,
from July 2007 to date. Having been a member for
over 20 years since 1992, I am always fascinated by
some of the terms scientists use when they talk about or
envision their new inventions or methodologies. How many of
them eventually come into practice? Could there be
some insights we could possibly derive, from
the linguistics perspective?

Phillip Brodsky
Executive Director,
The David Project
Phillip Brodsky became Executive Director of The David Project in July of 2014 after serving four years as their Campus Director. Phil joined The David Project in June 2010 after graduating from the Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program in their dual-degree MA/MBA program with the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University.
As Campus Director at The David Project, Phil worked with campus coordinators to reach out to student leaders to help them engage their peers with Israel in new and exciting ways. As Executive Director, he also oversees the organization's mission, strategy, development, and operations.
Before earning his MBA and MA, Phil was the director of Jewish programming for Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity. With AEPi, he taught student leaders how to organize successful philanthropic programs, bring Jewish enrichment programming into their chapters, and talk about Israel within the fraternity and sorority community. His pro-Israel work while with AEPi was recognized by the Israel on Campus Coalition, AIPAC, and the North American Interfraternity Conference.

Youth Engagement,
and How To Answer
Tough Questions
It was just after the Second Intifada started that Phillip Brodsky, then 18, returned home to Charlotte, North Carolina after a summer program in Israel.
"Places I had just been to were now in the news for the worst reasons and it was very disturbing. It was very hard for me to go back to high school, back to America, after such an awesome experience there," remembers Phil.
In 2000 when there was violence in Israel, rallies flared in America. "There were rallies in Charlotte when I got home," he says. "But for me it was now personal. 'What about me?' I asked myself. 'What's my rally?'"
"So I organized a pro-Israel rally for the youth of Charlotte, and me and my friends from different youth groups got together about 200 young people from four Hebrew high schools for this hour-long rally," says Phil.
"It was really cool. Looking back, I think a lot of my leadership values and practices were in play during that time, things that I have since worked to strengthen, including doing something that's engaging, getting people from different Jewish groups together, empowering my generation's voice… It all kind of started there."
Engagement was Phil's focus going into the Hornstein-Heller dual-degree program, which he completed in 2010.
"For every single class I took," he says, "I made a conscious effort to focus back on engagement work with young adults. So whenever we had an assignment, that's what I was thinking about."
But a love of Israel clearly binds his work together. That too, grew out of that first trip he made to Israel as a high school student.
Today Phil is the executive director of The David Project, an Israel advocacy organization that works on 42 college campuses in the United States engaging Jewish and non-Jewish students and their communities with Israel.
His work includes helping students learn how to talk about what he calls "tough questions" and develop relationships with other student communities and their leadership.
"A lot of young people's connection to Israel is through culture and identity and values. They don't love Israel because there's a conflict there. They want to share their connection to Israel with others so they can connect with people about that which they love. So we teach them how to articulate their ideas."
This month, The David Project is taking 240 undergraduate students to Israel in a program they call Israel Uncovered. Of these, 190 are non-Jewish campus leaders, friends of the other 50 Jewish students who were selected to join their program. Their Twitter stream shows them arriving in Tel Aviv and eating falafel sandwiches!
In His Own Words:
An Interview with Phillip Brodsky
Q: Your love of Israel seems to bind together a lot of your work as a Jewish leader. How did that happen?
Phil: I've always loved Israel. I didn't know it was going to be my professional focus, actually. I was very focused on engagement, getting people together, relationship building, engaging college students and young professionals—that was really my focus going in to Hornstein.
But I've had a lot of experience with Israel and it's always been a very special place for me. It brings me a lot of inspiration and meaning. And it started out when I was little when I went to a Young Judaea camp. They convinced me I had to go to Israel the summer after my senior year of high school.
Which I did… I just didn't go with Young Judaea. I went with Alexander Muss High School in Israel. I went for the summer program in 2000. It was the most amazing summer for me. I was 17. Over two months, we studied the history of Judaism and Israel and Zionism, all the way from the Bible to the modern day. We visited the places in the country we were learning about.
As a group (we were 40 students), we developed tight friendships. It just felt so good.
When I got back to high school after that summer, the Second Intifada had just started. So places I had just been to were now in the news for the worst reasons and it was very disturbing. So it was very hard for me to go back to high school, back to America after such an awesome experience there.
And you know, whenever there's violence in Israel, there's always rallies in America. I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and there were rallies for Israel there. But I felt like, what about me? What's my rally?
So I organized a pro-Israel rally for the youth of Charlotte, and me and my friends from different youth groups got together about 200 young people from four Hebrew high schools for this hour-long rally.
It was really cool. Looking back, I think a lot of my leadership values and practices were in play during that time, things that I have since worked to strengthen, including doing something that's engaging, getting people from different Jewish groups together, empowering my generation's voice… all kind of started there.
Q: What about your upbringing?
Phil: My dad went to temple every Saturday and my mom was a Jewish preschool teacher, and then when I was in high school, she ran the Jewish Hebrew High School, which was once a week. Today she is the campaign director at the Charlotte Jewish Federation. So we were very involved with the synagogue (the Conservative synagogue) and the Jewish Community Center in Charlotte. I was on the Jewish JCC basketball team and I worked at the JCC summer camp.
In Charlotte, there are two big synagogues, a big Reform synagogue and a Conservative one. There's a Chabad Lubavitch. Both synagogues, the JCC, and the summer camp are all on one property called Shalom Park with the Lubavitch right behind it. It's nice that even though people might go to different temples, we all come to the same place, to Shalom Park. So it feels big.
Q: We use the term engagement a lot. What does it mean to you?
Phil: Well, engagement is what I do at The David Project.
I look at it like this. Judaism and Israel both have so much to offer Jews, way more than maybe what we learned in Hebrew school about the "rules." There's so much meaning and philosophy and values within Judaism. I think young Jews deserve the opportunity to find a connection point that will turn them on, that will excite them, so it can fulfill their lives more in some way, if possible.
I learned this when I worked for AEPi (Alpha Epsilon Pi). When I worked there, I learned that we can't just sit around and hope that people are going to come to our events, or hope that somebody's going to walk into a synagogue, or hope that somebody will sign up for Birthright.
We have to do the hard work of putting ourselves out there and extending our hand and going to meet people where they're at. And so, for me, that's what engagement's about, that we find opportunities to meet people and then we go and do it. I think a lot of people are not sitting around waiting for Judaism to come to them. They're busy running their own lives. They probably don't even feel like anything's missing.
Judaism's pretty cool. It's a great lens to use to look at the world if you've had the opportunity to learn how to access it. And I think a lot of people probably haven't.
That's really my engagement strategy, specifically with Israel, and especially since there's so much divisiveness, misinformation, propaganda, and conflict surrounding it. That's a lot of incentive to never engage with Israel. Why would somebody want to? Israel is often presented in such a divisive black-and-white way here in America, especially on college campuses where it's either pro- or anti-, good or bad.
I don't blame students for getting turned off. I'm not talking only about Jewish students. I'm talking about any typical student. That's not how students want to engage with something, especially when we're in college, where we're focusing on learning and growing. To have to pick a side is not the way it works.
So, we're trying to engage people with the real Israel, the complex, complicated, nuanced, amazing place that Israel is, and, show that it's a place that anybody can connect to. We're trying to change the conversation so that students feel like they can participate in it and they do have something they can say about it.
Q: Through your work now with The David Project and as a former student, what is your professional and personal experience of antisemitism on college campuses?
Phil: My experience with antisemitism is anecdotal. What I heard was that in the last school year, AEPi, which has about 140 chapters just in the United States, had 14 swastikas drawn or painted on their fraternity houses in locations all over the country. That's pretty damning. But when a swastika is discovered on campus, everybody denounces it. Even anti-Israel groups denounce swastikas.
Now we're also starting to see instances where Jewish students are being asked to abstain from voting in school affairs because of a "Jewish agenda" or bias.
It's not a massive trend but it's worrying. Those same students who are accusing the Jewish student of being biased would probably denounce the swastika. I don't think they realize that what they're saying is antisemitic, but it is. It's just like telling a student from another community that they will be excluded from voting because of their bias.
So there's this gray area which is a little confusing for students.
I do think that if you're a Jewish student who loves Israel and Judaism, there's probably never been a better time to be on campus. Hillel is larger and cooler and more interesting than ever. There's The David Project and many other Israel advocacy organizations.
You can wear your cool Jewish T-shirt on campus without a problem. Nobody's getting stoned. But there are comments… There's a recent article by Miriam Pollock in Tower Magazine about the numerous incidents of antisemitic posts through Yik Yak, a social media Smartphone app that lets people post anonymously.
There is this negativity out there. My worry is that if you're a student on campus, you're going to know that there's negativity surrounding Israel. And you're probably not going to want to get involved with it.
Q: Professor Len Saxe's report on antisemitism on college campuses in North America found that while there is a growing feeling of connection to Israel for Jewish college students who've participated in Jewish groups and went on a trip, they don't often know too much about Israeli politics. What is your experience? What is the experience of students and staff you work with at The David Project? Does an understanding of the politics help, hinder, or have no effect?
Phil: At The David Project, we train our students how to engage their peers from outside of the Jewish community around topics about Israel.
We have a session that we run called Tough Questions. These are tough questions that our students face when, for example, they approach the president of the black student union or leaders of different religious communities or college Dems or Republicans and they sit down together. They're not going to throw out some awful disgusting allegations when they first meet. What they're going to say is "I don't want to meet with you because we don't do anything political. If I meet with you, we have to meet with the other side. Or our group doesn't want to take a stand."
A lot of young people's connection to Israel is through culture and identity and values. They don't love Israel because there's a conflict there. They want to share their connection to Israel with others so they can connect with people about that which they love.
So we teach them how to articulate their ideas. In terms of politics, the conversations happening on campus are not very in depth. There's no interesting debate about where the border should be, or what to do about a specific settlement, or about Orthodox conscription into the army, or about how to treat Israeli Arabs, or about how to improve economic disparity in the country.
The conversation on college campuses is black-and-white: Israel is bad or Israel is good. The BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement is demonizing Israel's government and right to exist so nobody's really having thoughtful conversations. I think some students and leaders of the BDS movement would not agree with what I'm saying. But this black-and-white approach is alienating people.
So if we're not able to engage college students in a more meaningful way on topics about Israel, in an interesting way that will encourage them to open up a little bit and learn about Israel, what they're going to come away with is nothing. They'll not know much about Israel because there was this negative cloud around the conversation and they chose to stay away from that.
>>Learn more about how to answer tough questions and keep the conversation going with resources from The David Project's Israel Discussion Guides.
Q: How do you address these tough questions with your students and prepare them to address tough questions with others?
Phil: The David project is active on 42 campuses across the country. Each campus has an outreach team of five students on average. Each outreach team works on an outreach plan. Then that we teach students about engagement and how to create conversations amongst Jewish students and other student communities. Students come from all across the country to train for outreach at our Summer Conference in Boston.
We also do training on the ground. So the outreach team meets every other week or so and we train them. First we teach them how to talk about Israel. Then we train them on personal narrative or how to reference personal experience while articulating the reasons for caring about Israel and Israel advocacy.
We teach them how to be active listeners, how, in the course of having a conversation with somebody who isn't really listening, to get them to open up to you and find points of connection and common ground. These are the techniques of relationship building.
We have this tough questions exercise where we let students tell us what the questions are that they get when they're out in the field doing relationship building. They tell us the questions they are asked and then we sit together and talk through how we'd answer that question in a way that will keep the conversation going and give us the best chance to really get to know people.
We know going in that there will be tough questions that our students will have to answer, and that it's not our students fault but they have strikes against them as Israel advocates because of the environment on campus and the way that the pro-Israel and anti-Israel movement has created this black-and-white debate.
And then our students reach out to their peers from other groups. They get to know them, have conversations, look for connection points, try to get involved with each other's work. We help our students organize programs that are based on the interests of the Israel community as well as the communities they're looking to engage. It's a symbiotic give-and-take relationship.
During the winter, we bring one Israel advocate from each of our 42 campuses to Israel with us, and that person invites two, three, or four non-Jewish students to come with her to Israel. Last year we brought, from 32 campuses, 108 students all together: 32 Israel advocates, and 76 campus leaders from other organizations.
This year, thanks to special new grants we received from some of our partners here in Boston and other foundations, we are going to bring a total of 240 students to Israel. Of these, 190 are non-Jewish campus leaders—undergraduate students—from communities on campus.
Our staff works extremely hard to meet these high recruitment numbers.
Q: Is this the standard for The David Project? How do you and your staff manage this type of growth?
Phil: The David Project has been through a whirlwind of change over the past few years. This is my sixth year with the organization. When I started we were really spread out. We had a high school department, a gap year program, an office in New York. Now, we're all based in Boston and we're only working on college campuses. This is the only work that we're doing. It's been a lot of hard and painful work to change the organization but it's been extremely impactful.
We made these changes to better position ourselves and direct the growth of this program that we're doing now. We now have eight campus coordinators who are all based in Boston. They travel constantly. And they each work with about five or so campuses in different parts of the country. This is the largest campus team we've ever had.
Q: What resources can you recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about how to respond to those "tough questions"?
Phil: There's this great book by Daniel Gordis that came out a couple years ago called "Saving Israel: How the Jewish People Can Win a War That May Never End."
Gordis's argument was Israel has a lot of challenges, which we all know, but the biggest one is that we as a Jewish people including Israelis need to be able to articulate "why," that is, what's the point of having this Jewish country.
The Zionist founders had such amazing writing and debate about their visions of what the country should be, could be, and it wasn't just "let's get all the Jews together so we can have a country like everybody else." Their thinking was we want a country so that we can have more opportunity for self-determination.
So the question is, what are we going to do with that? Gordis was basically arguing that if we're able to answer that question, we will ensure our survival. It's a beautiful book.
I think that's the single toughest question. It's easy to criticize Israel. As an American, you may not like what the government is doing so it's easy to ignore it all together and have nothing to do with Israel. The challenge is to understand that we have a connection to Israel and to the Jewish people as a whole, and to figure out why that's important to us.
I mean, why do we care about that? I think that being able to articulate that is the answer to most questions.
When we're in Israel with The David Project, we meet with Forsan Hussein. He's an Israeli Arab and Brandeis alum from 2000. Forsan says the lens through which he answers this tough question is love for the Jewish values that Israel is based on. He wants Israel to live up to those values. I think that's a great vision to have as an Israel advocate: somebody who cares about Israel because we love the vision its founders had for Israel and the values its based on, we're proud of what it's become, but we know that it has a long way still to go.
As advocates for Israel, we want to help it achieve its values. We can articulate our reasoning by explaining that we Israel's vitality is important to us and its values are important to us. We want to help Israel live up to those values and overcome the challenges it faces, both internally and externally.
I think that's something we can get behind. But we have to be able to say why, at its core, it's important. It's a deep question for Jews because we have to understand our connection to Judaism and Jewish people as well.
>>Watch an interview with Forsan Hussein here: Making Connections Across Cultures.)
Q: You took two trips to Israel as a Hornstein student. Are there any overlaps between The David Project trips and the Kraft Seminar to Israel?
Phil: The David Project trips to Israel include meetings with artists, reporters, nonprofit leaders, musicians, and representatives from different minority groups. We visit different parts of the country. We hear from Jews and Christians and Muslims.
How Jews and Arabs think about Israeli society and the values that are being expressed and lived is for me what's really exciting and interesting. Those values and the way they play out in society are what informs the government and policy and everything else. For me, that's the really interesting stuff. That's what I want to understand.
You know, Israel is not monolithic. Nothing about Israel's monolithic. Just look at how many political parties there are there. It's very diverse.
Here in America, I think most of the conversation treats Israel as this very monolithic entity. In the average person's mind, Israel is probably very religious, very militaristic, has a lot of concrete, and is very ugly.
But we know that's not the case at all.
My trips to Israel with the Hornstein Program were highly influential for me. I was on the student planning committee each year. David Mendelsson was our educational tour guide. He was amazing. I have remembered a lot of what he taught us about the field, and the way to talk to people. And also how to have fun!
I bumped into him once a while back when I was running my trip for The David Project and I pulled him aside to tell him how much I enjoyed his instruction, what I was doing now, and how much I remembered of what he had taught me.
The David Project trips and Hornstein trips are similar in that they are educational seminars. They're not Birthright, nor just a tour: they're educational. So we share similar styles of speakers and sites that we visit. There's overlap, for sure.
Q: What impact did your classes and faculty at Hornstein have on you professionally and personally?
I loved Professor Amy Sales. I thought she was a genius, especially in the way she thought about things. And I loved the way she structured her class, which allowed us to take what we were interested in and learn about that, while also learning about the concepts of Jewish identity and Jewish community.
And I remember Professor Joe Reimer did a leadership seminar for us my first semester. That was probably the most influential class of all of them. Each week he would invite a different Jewish community leader and we would interview them. Somebody would prep to introduce them and then we'd ask that person questions. Joe was really careful to select people who were change agents, people who had done something new or had changed things around.
That class was amazing. I remember we had Aliza Kline of Mayyim Hayyim. We had Ed Case from InterfaithFamily. We had somebody from the Joint Distribution Committee.
And then, for the very last class, it was just Joe. He talked for a long time about Jewish leadership and what it meant. He talked about King David and the story of him and Bathsheba and the difficulties and complexities of leadership. He was able to tell this story in such a way that it brought to life the story of King David in such a relevant way. I don't think I'll ever forget it. It was one of the most impactful lectures I've ever heard.
Bradley Solmsen was also great. I worked closely with him on my TCP.
I particularly liked how I got to interact with real organizations while at Hornstein. For every single class I took, I made a conscious effort to focus back on engagement work with young adults. So whenever we had an assignment, that's what I was thinking about.
Q: What brought you to Brandeis University?
Phil: I came to Brandeis because of the Hornstein-Heller dual-degree program. That's what brought me there. I met with Professor Jonathan Sarna and some of the other professors and I felt like this was a great place for me.
This interview with Phillip Brodsky was published in the Hornstein Program's Impact Newsletter, December 2015.

Amabrush — the world's first automatic toothbrush that cleans your teeth in ten seconds
Yes, you read that right. There is a new Kickstarter project called Amabrush, is the world's first automatic toothbrush, and the creators claims to give you a full clean in just ten seconds. Users place it in their mouths and press a button. This new device then dispenses toothpaste and vibrates for ten seconds, long enough to clean every tooth, according to the makers.
The creators of this gadget claim that Amabrush can save you 100 days of your life that you would normally waste with brushing, and promises not to damage your gums. It is fully waterproof and it can charges wirelessly, and lasts up to a month in between charges.
So how does it work?
According to the Kickstarter campaign page, the bristles are powered by a magnetic hand gadget which vibrates the mouthpiece, while brushing your teeth. This new device comes out with toothpaste (change every month) that are inserted into the mouthpiece and released when this device is in use.
Within days of launching on Kickstarter the product raised €174,789, far more than the €50,000 asked for. The crowd funding campaign is due to close on 5th August, and the makers estimate the first products will ship in October as part of a pilot test. Replacements will set you back €6 for the mouthpiece (that changed every 3 to 6 months) and €3 for the toothpaste (every month). As the mouthpiece can be easily detached from the toothpaste and power pack, one Amabrush can be shared among multiple people.

The site should not have the entrance from the Southeast corner.
Northwest corner entrance to the plot is not recommended.
The same rules apply to the factories too.
Generally, Northeast entrance brings cheers and multiplies peace in the home. Please note that when there is no access to the East for the North house and North for the East home, then this Northeast entrance may not be giving good results. In such case, the North door or East door is giving good results.
Before going to buy the property if there is any water flow at West side then ignore this property.
Once a resident decided to buy a home, if there is any water channel at South direction, then disregard this home.
Some thought, South entrance is bad, but most of the homes which we recommended are South and West homes in USA. We never get any complaint so far. We have to finalize the home based on many observations. Without vastu consultant guidance one may not be successful. The best possible way is to obtain vastu pandit help to find out a good house. It brings peace.
A lot of sonorous vastu tips published in our website. Frequently we are updating our website with latest vastu information which is most useful for the residents.
Mr. Suresh already visited and provided vastu consultancy services in many countries like United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al-Khaimah), Bahrain, Oman, Botswana, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Nepal, Indonesia, and almost all States in India.

Germany is the second largest country in Europe. It shares its border with Austria in South, with Denmark in North, Poland in the east and Netherlands in the west. Hamburg is the largest seaport of Germany.
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic. The Chancellor (Reichskanzler) is the head of government, while The President works as the head of the state. It is the world's second country with large-scale immigration from many other countries.
It's advanced economy is the fourth largest in the world. The main exports of the country are Cars, Vehicle parts, Planes, Helicopters, and Crude petroleum. The trading partner countries of Germany are USA, France, UK, Chine, Netherlands, Italy and Austria

Berlin Overview:
Berlin is the largest city of Germany which serves as German capital and is one of the 16 German states. Berlin is a world-class city having a unique and historical architect, landmarks, high-rise buildings, centuries-old museums and art pieces, historical buildings, and eccentric lifestyle.
Having population of 3,711,930, Berlin is the most populous German city and second most populous in the European Union having behind only of London. The city is leading in every sector either it is related to lifestyle, advancements, healthcare, IT, education and human development. Furthermore, the city is known for its nightlife, festivals, and ethics.
Although Berlin is a well-developed city today, it has a devasting history which can shock us if we read it thoroughly. Today, we can't see the horrors and destruction which happened in the city and its suburbs nor we can hear the screams of the people as everything is buried or replaced. The settlements in the regions of Berlin started as early as the 11th century.
The city was founded in the mid-12th century and development started. During the "Thirty Years War" much of the city was destroyed and the majority of its population got killed. By the start of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution started in the Berlin leading to modernization of city and immigration of people from the other areas. Soon Berlin became a center of German politics, art science. In 1871, Berlin became the capital of the "German Empire".
During the World War 2, Berlin was constantly bombed initially by the air and later by massive artillery and became the most bombed city in the history. The Allied forces regular bombed the city throughout the war leaving the city in the ruins.
By 1945, the Russian forces reached the suburbs of Berlin and barricaded the city with massive artillery and rockets for days. This resulted in the deaths of countless civilians and raising the city to the ground. Hundreds of years old buildings, museums, etc. which reflected the beauty of the city and German culture got vanished.
After the War ended, the city was divided by the Allies and Eastern Berlin was administrated by the USSR while West Berlin was jointly administrated by the US, British, and France. Soon a wall, known as the "Berlin Wall" was constructed between the East and West Berlin as the tensions rose and the situation got worse.
Many East Berlin residents tried to cross the wall but were shot. This was one of the worse situations any human can face. The situation remained until 1990 when Germany got reunified and the wall was destructed by the people themselves as an event of happiness and reunification.
The city of Berlin is highly populated and developed but its surrounding areas feature beautiful lakes and forests. The city lies in the plains region and that is the reason hills or mountains can't be seen nearby.
The architect, design and the uniqueness of the city can't be found elsewhere in the world even not in Europe. Some of the architectural marvels include the "Reichstag Building", "Bode Museum", "Brandenburg Gate" (a symbol of Germany and Berlin), "Charlottenburg Palace", and the "Oberbaum Bridge".
Today when we visit the city, we will notice that the city is modernized having many new buildings but we can still see its old heritage and beauty within the new city.
German is the primary and most commonly spoke language of the city. Majority of the population is non-religious, but some percentage of EKD Protestants and Roman Catholics are also present.
Muslims are also present in large amount due to huge immigration from Muslim countries, especially from Turkey. There are around 80 Mosques in the city. Other religions include Jews, Buddhists, etc.
Berlin has a long-term history of modernization and industrialization. Although the Second World War had devasted these activities, the city recovered slowly and swiftly, especially after the reunification.
Today, the city is a technological, industrial and business hub for all over the world. Many renowned German and foreign companies are located in the city.
Many of the largest German campiness including Lufthansa (a leading German airline), Deutsche Bank, Allianz, Osram, and Edeka were found in the city. Tourism is also one of the leading economic sectors and its scope can be predicted by the described features above.

Also, I sensed when I talk to you and when I was dealing with you, you follow honesty and integrity and you have a sincere desire to help others - Kotesware Rao - Dallas - USA
We are tech professionals and working in USA. After a year long search we brought the house. After buying the house I started looking for consultant who can help me evaluating the house. I came across Subhavaastu website which has lot of information. I contacted Mr.Suresh and requested him to help with our house vastu. It has been a great pleasure working with him. He is very detailed oriented person and never compromises with his work. I am typically not interested to deliver the reviews. But after working with Mr. Suresh I decided to share my experience. Mr. Suresh has great expertise in providing vastu consultation to USA property. He is always available through email and phone l to answer questions. I am writing this review hoping it will help other people like me who lives in abroad. Please take advise before buying the house. I highly recommend Mr. Suresh as he has great experience with structure of USA properties and also he provides genuine consultation. I really appreciate Mr. Suresh's help in evaluating our house - Padma - Boston - USA
Hello Sir, My name is Bharathi. Me and my husband have been reading your articles closely. We really appreciate the effort put by you to share your knowledge about vastu and it's effects - Bharathi - USA.
I have consulted Suresh Garu during December 2014 during the process of buying a house in Texas, USA. I have occupied the house for one year now, and feel like dropping a review regarding my experience during the entire process. I am very much satisfied with the kind of service I received from him. He is very knowledgeable and I was often stunned by his detailed analysis during the course of my interaction with him. He was very much accessible over phone (perhaps more than 10 times for one house plan!) and the price is very much reasonable especially compared with the cost of the house. I noticed his burning desire to help me in making informed decisions on certain things. I have seen some people pretending to know this subject and misguiding those who come for help by saying only what we want to hear. SubhaVaastu is definitely not that one. Finally, I am strong believer of leaving certain things to experts in those subjects. I have been in US for more than 13 years and have seen people doing their own corrections (by reading website articles) trying to save few dollars. Please don't do that. You would end up in causing more damage. I highly recommend you to engage SubhaVaastu in your next project - Satish - Dallas - TX - USA

Phil. 2:14 & 15 "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation"
It is quite human to complain about our lack or about our present circumstances. For some it's a greater problem, possibly because of the environment they grew up in. If the parents were complainers, you can be almost certain the kids will grow up with this learned behavior.
Often complaining is a bad habit. We can train ourselves to complain about everything, from the food we eat, to the clothes we wear to the job we work at, to the people we mix socially with. Or we can train ourselves not to give into every temptation to complain. I have found I can consciously and purposely make a decision not to complain. It's my decision and I can do it or not.
Even though we say with our mouths that we are trusting God. The thought processes that can rage in our minds, are really powerful, and if we allow our minds free reign, our thoughts will take us in the opposite direction that God intends for us.
It takes an ongoing effort to learn how to "cast all our care on Him" It's easier to give into the care than to cast it on Him. Even though we are exhorted to "forget the things that are behind us" it is hard if we allow a negative thought to loop endlessly in our heads. Eventually it will manifest from our mouth in the form of complaining.
After God liberated the Hebrews from slavery to the Egyptians, it did not take them long to begin to complain. They complained about everything and even began to say it would be better to return to Egypt and slavery rather than continue in the wilderness.
The human brain was designed by God to think and one thought can lead to another. So it is my responsibility not to let one negative thought lead to another. I have to look at the thought in the light of God's word. What does He say about me and what does He want for my life. I have to diligently and fervently guard my mind from wrong thinking.
God says "forget the things that are behind" Phil 3:13 Why? Because He knows that no matter how badly we mess things up, He always has a way of escape for us and complaining is not the way out but the way further into the mess. His ability to "make a way in the wilderness" and "rivers in the desert" (Isa 43:18) is hindered by the way we think and ultimately act. All the complaining in the world does not move the heart of God. God responds to the simple faith of the heart.
The Apostle Paul made this statement. ".... for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am." Phil. 4:11 Amp. This was a key which made Paul victorious throughout his entire ministry.
2 Cor. 11:22-28 "Are
they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours
more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in
deaths oft. v 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. v 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; v 26 In
journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils
by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the
city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among
false brethren; v 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. v 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches."
This says it all. Paul certainly had opportunity to test the grace and mercy of God. You see, nothing is too hard for the Lord and "All things are possible". So I have to take His advice and "forget" But that is easier to say than do, because the forgetting has to take place in my memory. So I have to build positive, God inspired memories so that the nature of my thinking changes. I begin to think like He does. I begin to have the "mind of Christ"
Just like the muscles of the body can become weak from lack of exercise, so my mind can become weak from lack of positive input. I make my mind think on other things. Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." That's what God wants us to do. It's a commandment and I have to make my mind obey.
He has laid a table before us in the presence of our enemies. (PS 23) He anoints our heads (mind and thoughts) with oil so that our cup runs over and goodness and mercy follow us ALL the days of our life. All the days means that His blessings never run out. He is always ready to bring change in our lives and perform miracles for us.
I have to learn to "cast all my care on Him because He cares for me." 1 Peter 5:6-7 This is a learned behavior. Immediately when I get the urge to complain, I must change the focus of my desire towards the ONE who can make a difference in my life. The words that come out of my mouth are what God says about me, not what my flesh tries to give into. We are more than conquerors. Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world."
God bless greatly

Celebrating Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa–a celebration of family, community and Black heritage–takes place this year from December 26 until January 1. Kwanzaa is observed mostly in the homes of African-American families; however, to honor the holiday, the Weisser Park Youth Center hosts a day of festivities.
Kwanzaa at Weisser Park, said supervisor of neighborhood programs Zynette Paige, begins with a libation ceremony during which participants pour water into plants or into the ground–to the north, south, east and west–while saying the names of deceased family members. If you continue to say the names of your ancestors, they live on in spirit, says a proverb.
Next comes a candle-lighting ceremony. Kwanzaa focuses on seven principles called the Nguzo Saba, each value believed to come from East African culture. The first candle is black and symbolizes unity; it's set in the center of the kinara candelabra and surrounded by red and green candles, each symbolizing a different principle.
"Kwanzaa is about the children. We wanted to make Kwanzaa more inclusive of the children in the spirit that we thought the Creator wanted it to be," said Paige. Kids get involved with the ceremony by reading and commenting upon a principle, then lighting a candle. After the kinara ceremony, the community center becomes a festive party.
There is poetry and spoken-word before the live jazz and R&B gets the dance floor going. There are performances by African dancers and the Weisser Park Youth Center Step Dance group.
The band plays into the evening, as lids are pulled from steaming dishes. "Caribbean food, some African-American 'soul food'; there might be a traditional African dish… We have a spread!" said Paige. Kwanzaa, in fact, translates to "first fruits."
"It's a harvest festival," said Dr. John Aden, historian and director of Fort Wayne's African/African-American Historical Museum. Scholar Maulana Karenga established the holiday in 1966 as an opportunity to learn about African culture and as an "esteem building exercise" for Black people in the United States. The holiday really became popular, said Aden, in the 1980s.
"Other holidays that are celebrated by a majority of Americans really have a social function to bolster people's self esteem and give them a common sense of purpose and unity," said Aden. In creating the holiday, Karenga wanted to draw on a long-standing set of African traditions, and set his gaze on East Africa. Most of the language terms in Kwanzaa are Swahili.
Kwanzaa "is not something that's celebrated in Kenya or Tanzania or on the Swahili coast," said Aden, but Karenga likely chose that culture for its rich history as a main partner in the Indian Ocean trading system, which predates the birth of Christ.
Kwanzaa is a celebration of culture, of humanity, of triumph over struggle and of progress. "There's a much richer discussion now about allies and what their role is than ever existed in the discussion of Kwanzaa or Black political movements," said Aden. "There are always people of European descent at the Weisser Park ceremony. I've never seen it be a negative experience for white people [although] it was explicitly created to empower Black people."
Paige agreed, everyone is welcome to attend. "It says that you're willing to learn and hopefully that you respect other cultures and see the beauty in them; we're more alike than we are different."
"It's important to embrace who you are culturally, because if you can embrace your own culture, you can also respect other's," said Paige. "But if you don't have a foundation, it's hard. If there's any time we need to start embracing and respecting each other, it's now."
Annual Community Kwanzaa Celebration, December 28, 6 pm, Weisser Park Youth Center, 802 Eckart Street, 260.427.6780, fortwayneparks.org

Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics to profit together by supporting local small businesses.
Nia: Purpose to commit to collective community development.
