As we have mentioned before in many of our articles here in David Kiger's Blog, an effective supply chain is instrumental for your company to get ahead in today's business world. The reality is that larger companies already have an advantage in this area because most of the infrastructure and the best solutions for optimized supply chain management are created and implemented for large volume movement and transactions. While the approach may be different, the overall goals are always the same; to have a healthy supply chain in which all links perform independently in an effective manner while communicating with their counterparts to be efficient as whole in order to deliver products and services quickly, safely and of the best quality.
Here we are going to take a look at some more tips and excellent advice about what you can do to improve your supply chain management in a small company. As you can see, the rules apply to everyone, but this particular key points can yield the best results for solutions at a smaller scale.
Use cloud-based systems
Cloud-based systems are a smart way to make the small size of your company work for you. Most small companies do not have a dedicated IT department because it isn't cost effective. Using an external supplier with a cloud management system can unburden some of your employees while at the same time unloading the responsibility on real experts that have been doing this type of thing for a long time and for clients much bigger than your company. In the long run, you will save money and energy by letting others manage this cumbersome aspect of supply chain management.
Find someone qualified to help you with oversea suppliers
If your suppliers are located across the globe, then you should think about the great benefits of having an in-country agent that can help you navigate through all the regulations and logistics of that particular location. While this may sound like a luxury, you will soon realize that the money is well spent when you consider all that you can save by not making rookie mistakes and by truly understanding the best way the system can benefit your particular situation.
Do not have just one supplier
Do not place all of your eggs in one basket. While it isn't advisable to deal with multiple suppliers, it is a great idea to have a backup plan in the event of unplanned circumstances. This solution may work in two ways: it can give you the advantage with your customers by meeting deadlines and allowing you to stay true to the promise of great service while at the same time providing you with competitive leverage across your suppliers and getting a better deal on their products and services.
Understand your ordering patterns and schedules
Having a clear picture of your ordering volumes, patterns and schedules can help you anticipate the demands of your inventory and project a true forecast of your needs. Anticipating needs is key for smaller companies to save where it really matters and to stay ahead of the competition considering the time it takes to receive goods and how those days or weeks make such a huge difference in your business.
Nurture a good relationship with suppliers
A good relationship with your suppliers can land you better deals when negotiating and also finding common ground in which you can both mutually benefit from assistance. The key to nurturing a good relationship is communication, especially if you are far away from each other. Make it a point to meet and put a face to the name of the people you are dealing with, the personal touch does really make a difference in business.
Is it more beneficial to buy local?
Sometimes the global component of your supply chain may be too risky or still too large to really be able to handle for your small company. In situations like this, you may want to revise the option of purchasing local, even if it seems more expensive at first. Domestic suppliers can greatly reduce shipping costs and transit times, in some situations up to a level that makes them the most viable option in the long run.
Know your customers
An efficient supply chain begins where information from customers is gathered in order to understand the requirements of the company to be able to anticipate their needs. More important than having products in your inventory is the desirability of those products by customers. It doesn't matter how much stock you have on something if that something is going to stay in your inventory and not move.
Take advantage of technology
We are in the best moment in history to join the current technologies with the needs of the market. This rings particularly true for small businesses as they can adjust to take advantage of the investments made by larger companies into finding ways to make the supply chain more efficient by using the latest tech. Stay ahead of the competition by taking advantage of what technology can offer your company and research which solutions work best for you.

Long-time (and, due to one of last week's posts, recent) visitors to this blog know that I won't say no to trying out new foods or new drinks, especially those that have either been recommended by fellow food-bloggers and friends or those that have intrigued me after reading about them online, in some magazine, or cookbook. Horchata is one of these things.
Horchata is a Spanish beverage with Arabic roots: the earliest accounts of it in Spain date it back to the period of the Moorish Occupation (711 – 1492). In the Valencian dialect, the name is spelled as orxata – literally, "barley water" – because it was made from the water used for soaking barley in the old days. Later on, the process was used to extract sweet drinks from groundnuts (tigernuts), almonds, rice, and even sesame seeds. If made with almonds, sugar, and rose water (or lemon zest) and boiled down to a thick syrup, the resulting liquid becomes what is known as orgeat and is used to flavor baked goods though it can also be diluted with water for a refreshing drink. Horchata in the modern context, on the other hand, is usually made with either tigernuts or rice; it is thinner, looks like milk, and is usually made with sugar and cinnamon.
In this part of the world, the only place where I've encountered the drink is at the Salcedo Saturday Market where a stall specializing in Mexican street food offers the stuff in two variants: plain with a shot of milk (horchata con leche) and chocolate. I like them both: the plain one shown at the top of this post is subtly milky and is richly flavored with vanilla and a hint of cinnamon; the wee cubes of almond and coffee jelly at the bottom of the drink add to the visual and textural interest. The chocolate, on the other hand, is somewhat gritty textured at first sip (probably because of the cacao used for flavoring the drink), but it grows on you: the grittiness gives way to a dusky, smoky chocolatiness amped by the sweet, spicy cinnamon.
Whichever you choose to order, you're in for a refreshing treat. For some odd reason, I find it more restorative than, say, plain water or some sugary soda especially on a scorching day.

Promoting transformative changes in mathematics teaching and learning in elementary schools through international online collaboration.
Irina Lyublinskaya, College of Staten Island, United States
E-Learn: World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, in Las Vegas, NV, United States ISBN 978-1-939797-35-3 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), San Diego, CA
This paper describes experiences and results of an online collaboration between College of Staten Island (New York, USA) and Vladimir State University (Vladimir, Russia). The project included collaborative development of curriculum materials for teaching geometry in elementary school with GeoGebra and jointly taught synchronous course on how to integrate best practices with technology into teaching elementary school mathematics for pre-service elementary teachers (PSTs) in both countries. Online course followed by classroom implementation of GeoGebra lessons developed by the participants during their student teaching practicum. The preliminary analysis showed that while Russian PSTs outperformed American PSTs in geometry, American PSTs demonstrated more positive attitudes towards using computers in teaching. Analysis of videos suggests that participants from both countries developed different levels of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) with about the same distribution in each country. This project proposes a model of innovative international collaboration that could be implemented in teacher education programs to promote transformative changes in teaching and learning.

A nutty aftertaste completes this classic green tea experience.
Supremely vegetal, smoky along with notes of toasted nuts, earthy, young bark and slightly marine hints
Curly, tightly rolled, blackish green leaves with few olive green flakes
Smoky greens, vegetal, roasted nuts with hints of wet forest floor
Fully open, long, mix of matte-green and olive green tender leaves

8 to hydrate
The importance of staying hydrated – particularly for older people – cannot be underestimated. Dehydration can cause people to be more sleepy, unsteady on their feet and more likely to suffer from falls but symptoms are often hard to recognise.
Each year, many older people in East Staffordshire end up requiring medical treatment or even hospital admission as a result of not drinking enough fluid throughout the day.
The '8 to hydrate' event, organised by Virgin Care and Burton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust alongside partners South Staffs Water, East Staffordshire CCG, Staffordshire County Council and Age UK South Staffordshire, has been designed to raise awareness of the early symptoms and signs of dehydration and to provide information on how to prevent it.
The event launched advice and materials designed to encourage local residents to stay hydrated, with a particular focus on older people – who are more likely to suffer complications and require medical treatment if they become dehydrated.
Print-ready materials are available below:
8 to hydrate drink tracker – a reusable A5 tracker to help you and your patients keep track of how much they have had to drink during a day and the benefits it will bring.
8 to hydrate posters – two posters – one for a health setting and one for a more public or home setting.
8 to hydrate – health advice sheet – an advice sheet for professionals to use to note key points from their consultation, which also includes a reminder to stay hydrated. Print these out for use in your team.
Copies of the trackers and the posters can be requested by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com

A Guyanese woman was handed over to immigration officials today after pleading guilty to a theft charge.
Crystal Saskiea Hope, 20, of Halls Road, St Michael admitted that she stole $55.15 in items from Popular Discount on Spry Street, The City, on Saturday.
The prosecutor said the security guard on duty observed Hope placing canned foods and meats into a bag. She was then stopped as she approached the exit and searched when the stolen items were found.
"I don't know why I do this," she is said to have told supermarket managers before the police were called in.
After addressing Magistrate Douglas Frederick this morning immigration officials were called in and it was disclosed that Hope arrived on March 4 and was granted a six-month stay as a visitor.
Magistrate Frederick then convicted, reprimanded and discharged her on the charge and released her into the custody of immigration officials.

Each year, in conjunction with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade (January 22), a National Prayer Vigil for Life is held at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. The date for this Prayer Vigil is Thursday, January 17th. The Prayer Vigil is followed by the Rally and March for Life on Friday, January 18th. Thousands travel from all corners of the country to take part in the opening liturgy, all-night prayer vigil and march for life. Religious Education Programs might conduct a simple prayer vigil so that all might participate in this prayer occasion. This date is also designated as a particular day of penance in the Roman Missal.
Prayer is the foundation of all that we do in defense of human life. Our efforts will be less than fully fruitful if we do not change hearts and if we do not ourselves overcome our own spiritual blindness. Only with prayer—prayer that storms Heaven for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses our hearts and our souls—will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life.
"A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world. Through special initiatives and in daily prayer, may an impassioned plea rise to God. . . . Let us therefore discover anew the humility and the courage to pray and fast so that the power from on high will break down the walls of lies and deceit: the walls which conceal from the sight of so many . . . the evil of practices and laws which are hostile to life." —Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, no. 100

The theme for this year's National Prayer Vigil for Life is Unique from Day One. The unique fingerprint that each of us has – distinguishing us from any other human on the planet, is determined by that DNA at day one!

9. January Holy Hours for Life
Deacons will preside at a Holy Hour for Life to be held at various parishes throughout the Diocese on or around January 21st, which is the vigil of the National Day of Penance and Prayer for Life, which coincides with the tragic anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. For dates and locations, visit www.diolc.org/holy-hour-for-life.
When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is. "How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers." – Saint Mother Teresa of Kolkata
Join with the students in asking how God is calling your parish/religious education program to serve the Culture of Life.

So sorry I missed last month. I honestly don't know what happened.
March was a busy month for me as I had a conference in Nashville, which is probably how I missed posting to the blog here.
Not much in my life has changed, I've been busy writing, with a little bit of traveling thrown in. Nashville was fun even if I never left the hotel, there wasn't a lot of time to do any sightseeing or anything else.
But I had fun meeting new authors and readers, plus catching up with old friends. The down side of it beside traveling was I pulled my back out and just as it started to heal, I did it again. I'm happy to say all is well now.
I had a request from Laurie, who also does this blog around my pictures of Miss Penny. Miss Penny being a poodle has to be groomed. Her little hair grows so fast it amazes me. When she gets really furry I call her my little lamb chop. So Laurie requested before and after pictures.
Here is Penny before the groomer (as you can see she isn't happy with me):
She's so furry and wouldn't let me clean her eyes properly.
Now here's the after picture (her groomer Bobbie is holding her for me):
Doesn't she look so cute. Her little shaved paws, clean face and looking like a dog again. She also smells really good after they get done with her.
I have to have her groomed every 5 to 6 weeks otherwise her hair starts growing over her eyes and she can't see.
As for the title of the blog. Well, here in the Pacific Northwest we're having lots of April showers, but summer will be here soon. We've had a few days of sun between the rain, and just enough my grass is growing faster than I want.
I hope everyone is doing well, and spring will arrive soon I'm sure.

Get the above message when turn on machine. Keeps recycling that message. Machine will not start. Booted machine from a:\ with an old 1.44 floppy Windows 95. Got to the prompt. Tried to cd to c:\, but would not recognize the c: Cannot use diagnostic programs because cannot boot up Windows XP, the normal OS on this system. My next step is to purchase a new HD and try to start over. What do you think?
Which message?
Booting with a Win9x floppy will not allow you to access an NTFS drive only FAT/FAT32 drives can be accessed this way.
Your hard drive is probably formatted with NTFS.
Have you not got an XP CD?
You can download and burn Ultimate Boot CD from here:
Run the boot CD and run the diagnostics available on it.

hey mavis007 have you got a crystal ball? I did not see that error message anywhere.
That would suggest that the hard disk is NOT being detected in BIOS and the system is then trying to boot of the network when there probably isn't one.
Go into your BIOS and check if the HDD is being detected or not.
If it is not being detected then there may be a problem with your hard drive.

The case of Joao Cancelo is going to test Juventus and that muscle that has so much publicized. He is able to pay 90 million for Higuain to be a master in the signings at zero cost fruit of the work with time of his staff of technicians. And Valencia is the main interested party that has already sent him by telephone and in person what are the conditions for the transfer of the Portuguese side.The price of Cancelo is around 40 million and the top recruitment scale of the Juventus squad has five players who have exceeded that figure. From Higuain, which is the signing for the most paid in its history (90 kilos). And they are followed by Buffon, with 52, Douglas Costa, with 46, Thuram, with 41.6 million and Nedved, with 41.2.
These are the most expensive signings for which the Turin team has paid … and the price of Cancelo are those 40 kilos that the club of Mestalla has set to give Joao Cancelo exit.
Juventus is a big European, but unlike other clubs do not always go with the checkbook to market. It is difficult for him to take that step and he does it very punctually. The case of Cancelo is to see if the Valencia is enforced and takes out the 40 kilos.
There are no players in the operation
Valencia will not allow players in the operation. Juventus have tried but have found that the Mestalla club needs cash. Do not reduce the sale price because it does not help to cover this mismatch in the budget to close the 2018-19 financial year. He tried with Pjaca but Valencia said 'no'. Only money.

Securing Employer Input on Local Workforce Development
Hanson, Paul M.
MetadataShow full item record
In 2015, the US Department of Labor (DOL) set funding aside to align workforce development initiatives with employer needs within key local economic sectors.1 In this study I explores how the Workforce Development Council (WDC) for Snohomish County used DOL funds to produce and identify employer concerns within regional economic sectors. In accordance with the WDC funder DOL, WDC held roundtables for Snohomish County employers. Employers from the major sectors of the local economy identified their current and predicted concerns within their sector's workforce pipelines, development, and retention. I will identify the concerns from each sector and across the multiple sectors. I will lay out policy suggestions about what will most benefit Snohomish County's workforce development. Finally, within this study I will identify the strengths and weaknesses of WDC's approach as a tool in prioritization and assessment of workforce development programs.

"Ethics used to be a simple matter," said the venerable physician, recently retired. "I'm glad I don't have to worry about it now." He was thinking of the days when the only ethical imperative was "do no harm"; when the ethical physician need only be competent, kind, reliable, and, when the occasion required, self-sacrificing; when the only ethical controversy concerned accepting a fee for referral. Today, the physician is well aware that the term ethics raises so many anxious, confusing questions.

Simona Halep just beat the seven-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams in her first ever All England Club final in the women's singles competition.
Halep, a former world number one, took just 56 minutes to beat Williams in straight sets 6-2, 6-2.
Williams had barely been troubled over the last two weeks, losing just two sets by playing remarkable tennis en route to Saturday's final.
But Halep rushed into an early, commanding lead on Centre Court, taking advantage of early errors from the American's inability to send her shots over the net.
Halep broke Williams' serve, showed incredible movement, and brilliant shot-making to go four games up to love. "A dream start," the three-time men's singles champion John McEnroe said on the BBC broadcast.

Williams held her serve in the fifth game and seventh games, but ultimately Halep retained her considerable lead to win the opening set 6-2.
Though Williams won the first game in the second set, Halep's dominance was clear. The Romanian showed great defense, smart court coverage, and hit relentless winners past her opponent. Halep may have been 2-1 down in the second set, but that was the last game she lost, as she went on to claim the second set 6-2, too.
"She literally played out of her mind," Williams said with a smile after the loss. "It was a little bit deer in headlights for me."
Halep, meanwhile, said she played the "best match" of her life. "I have worked a lot for this moment," she said. "I came on court and gave my best. It's something very special, I will never forget this day."
The 2019 Wimbledon trophy is Halep's second Grand Slam title after her victory at the 2018 French Open.
Williams, meanwhile, is left to continue seeking an elusive 24th Grand Slam title, a milestone that would tie the record for the most Grand Slam wins by a woman.

Bun thang has long been regarded as the noodle in "higher class" than other types of noodles in Hanoi in terms of sophistication, picky, stylish … from raw materials, the way of processing to enjoying.
>>Bun bo gio heo (Beef and fork soft noodle soup)
Bun Thang – a special dish in way of cooking and enjoying
Many people, when coming or returning to Hanoi, in addition to eating bun cha, bun oc, bun rieu… want to enjoy a bowl of Bun thang. Bun thang Hanoi in the eyes of these idols is something "very Hanoi", synonymous with sophistication and the highness.
Along with the food devotees, many culinary experts and scholars agreed to lift the noodles to the "Thang Long first noodle", the culinary elite of the noble in Ha Thanh land, can not be compared with the other noodles in market… For example, in processing, Bun thang has many ingredients, basically vermicelli, chicken, pork rolls, eggs, shrimp, radishes, shrimp sauce and herbs …
The requirements for each ingredient are also very high. The noodles must be small noodles, because thick noodles are considered raw. Chicken meat is torn by hand into small and spongy pieces, does not cut with knife. Particularly the skin is cut by knife, however, must be as small as the noodles.
Eggs for noodles must be fresh, then thinly glazed, then gently sliced by knife into the "hair flying across the sky". The pork pie is also selected carefully, so when slided, it does not break.
Radish must be aromatic, crunchy, just like the Japanese sashimi style. Shrimp sauce, lemon, fresh peppers, laksa leave, coriander … must also be fresh, delicious to be worthwhile in bowl of noodles.
The broth used for noodles is determined to be chicken broth rather than pig or cow bones because of rancidity. Boil grilled chicken bones with grilled onion, ginger; add a scoop of worm or shrimps for sweet and filt to clear water.
In addition, the presentation of noodle bowl is as sophisticated as the art of flower arrangement Ikebana. Steamed vermicelli over hot water and then put into a bowl, chicken meat in the middle, a pinch of eggs stacked symmetrically with a pinch of pork pie, shrimp peeled just next to radish and herbs; Lemon, Shrimp sauce and chili are mixed and poured into vegetables, then the hot broth will be poured directly into the place, more luxury, add a drop of the stem.
Not long ago, an artisan of cooking asserted, bun thang must have mold, inside divided into 5 boxes. Put the mold on the bowl of vermicelli then turn each item into each box to balance, separate as the soil subdivision and then lift the mold, then pour the broth. This is exactly bun thang because "thang" means mold.
Making bun thang is so complicated and eating bun thang also can not be dissipated. People often cook this dish at the Lunar New Year to show respect. The place to eat noodles must also be polite, elegant, with tables and chairs sitting quietly, not slamming on dusty sidewalks.
It is true that Bun thang used to be cooked on Tet is because it is a "Tet summary". After the Tet holiday, all left foods are cooked together to create a new dish to change the taste.
Where is the best place to eat bun thang?
Only bun thang is cooked at home is the best because it is usually eaten on Tet when family reunion. Bun thang is sold everywhere in Hanoi, even famous restaurants with a lot of the guests, most of them are visitors coming to Hanoi. Here is a guide for those who like to eat the right style of Bun thang: Chicken broth can be bought in Thanh Ha alley near the Dong Xuan market in the afternoon, when the pot is boiled with dozens or hundreds of chicken so the quality is very high.
Chicken breast is available, just boild and tear it. Delicious pork pie is cut into small pieces. Eggs are cut as thin as you want, as long as your mouth feels that it's egg. Shrimp whether or not it depends on cook. Phu Do noodle is sold every market, bought on the boiling water for hot. Radish is bought from the market or homemade. Boil the broth at high temperature, add spicies, put all the ingredients and noodle into a bowl and then pour the hot broth into it. A delicious bowl of bun thang is ready for you to enjoy.

Kerry in Moscow to sound out Putin on Assad rule
American officials see movement on Assad's future as key to giving momentum to the peace talks being led by UN envoy Staffan de Mistura in Geneva to end Syria's civil war.
Moscow agreed to bring its ally's representatives to the table for talks with rebel delegates, but the Russian president insists that only Syrian voters can decide Assad's fate.
Any UN-backed elections would be at least 18 months away — even if the talks go well — and, without guarantees of Assad's exit, Syrian opposition leaders may yet baulk.
So Kerry touched down outside Moscow hoping for a sign that Russia — which has just withdrawn some of the forces it sent to shore up Assad's regime — may be more flexible.
"What we're looking for, and what we've been looking for for a long time is how are we going to transition away from Assad's leadership," a senior US official told reporters.
Kerry is in regular contact with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, but the top US diplomat knows any change in the Kremlin's posture will only come from Putin himself.
"On the Russian side, there's only one decision maker and you need to be in the room with him to evaluate what's possible," the State Department official said.
– An opening for change? –
The official said a shaky ceasefire between regime and rebel forces and Russia's partial withdrawal could mark an opening for Putin to shift his stance on Assad.
"The question is whether we can get down to brass tacks with the Russians on how to get from here to there in terms of transitioning the government," the official said.
But the American delegation is cautious about predicting a breakthrough, insisting the visit is as much about judging Putin's true stance as convincing him to change it.
Kerry is to meet both Lavrov and Putin on Thursday at the Kremlin. Later on Wednesday he was to meet in Moscow with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Aside from Syria's five-year civil war, Kerry and his hosts were also to address the crisis in Ukraine.
Kerry is to give his support to German and French efforts to convince Putin to rein in pro-Russian separatist rebels and allow the full application of the 2014 Minsk Protocol.
Under this plan, Kiev will accord the breakaway region a measure of autonomy and hold elections while Russia should end support for the rebels and respect Ukraine's border.

Four Important Advantages of Adding Vending Machines to Your Business
If you want an additional income stream that will also make your employees happy, try installing vending machines in your premises. They won't make you wealthy, but they can offer you another way of maximizing your total profits. But as opposed to those classic vending machines you likely grew up with, we now have more bankable and modern versions.
Here are some of the most important advantages of getting in the vending machine business these days:
Low Maintenance
Provided you choose a reputable vending machine, you will have no issues regarding maintenance. They will recommend good placement and products, ensure you have enough stocks and keep your machine running optimally based on their experience and expertise. They also make sure that your staff can get the snacks, drinks or other vending options they want as conveniently as possible. As they will do almost all of the work, you can just focus on your main business instead of worrying about restocking the machine or keeping it in good running condition.
Huge Variety of Vending Machines
No matter your business size or its nature, you will find a vending solution that is appropriate for you. Simply ask your prospective provider to present options. Full-service vending, for example, means you can have several machines vending many different products. These machines can satisfy a big number of people with a huge variety of beverages, food items and others. For something more comprehensive, a good solution may be a micro market. With this option, your employees can stay in the office, and the goods will be brought to them. It's essentially a machine-less system that makes you feel like you have your own grocery store inside your premises.
Satisfied Employees
Being a business owner, you will always want your staff to perform at their best. During afternoons when they're coming down from a satisfying lunch, their productivity usually declines. Having quality vending machines in your office helps keep your workers satisfied and energetic through the entire day.
Total Time and Cost Convenience
In the end, having vending machines at your business provides full cost and time convenience. People don't have to leave your office to fill their tummies or quench their thirst, thus saving them time. In fact, they can even save money because they won't be tempted by expensive restaurants that might be on your street. Most of all, as an employer, you will benefit from your employees being able to come back to work without delays.
Why People Think Venders Are A Good Idea

Due to a huge surge in demand for magazine rebuild kits, both in-store and on the web, we've had to remove them from web-ordering, for now. We're sorry about this, but the contention led to some inventory issues that was unavoidable except by taking this action and requires some manual re-counting before we can consider listing them again. We feel this action is better than the disappointment of taking orders we are not 100% certain we can fulfill in all cases.
These kits are still available for purchase in-store, but are going fast. We thank you for your patience and understanding in these uncertain times.

This piece below is an answer to a question asked to me and a bunch of other Chennai-wasis about the floods,the day the rains started lashing the coast. This is how it was as on December 2nd,2015.
It is bad.
You know how it feels when the place you have lived and loved all through your life gets submerged in water? It is inexplicable.
I have never heard or been in such a situation in Chennai before this. It has been raining for the past 24+ hours non-stop and Chennai is completely isolated from other parts of the State. All the entry and exit points have been cut-off and the rail and air terminus have been shut down. Trains and flights have been cancelled and the only mode of transportation that is still plying is the bus. That is unreliable and dangerous too,given the circumstances.
We have the Indian Army deployed here for the relief work and the forecast for two more days from today looks grim. Houses in the ground and first floors are flooded and people have taken shelter in high rises.
The magical part of all these is that We are still alive and thriving.
Chennai twitter is abuzz with help pouring in,not from anywhere else, from the Chennaiites themselves. More than 3000 people have opened up their homes, hotels,offices etc to provide shelter to those who are stranded. Many people have come forward to recharge the phones with a small amount so that they can get in touch with their families and loved ones and assure them about their safety. Scores of people have offered to cook a meal for the needy and services of picking those meals are under way. Several Star hotels have prepared food packets for the people and are looking for help to distribute it to those in need. Malls and cinema theatres have been magnanimous enough to offer to accommodate people for free.
So yes, we are alive and surviving.
It is a very tough situation in Chennai right now. This is the second spell of rains lashing the city in less than a month's time and trust me we are struggling. But, we are also helping and reaching out to people in whatever small ways that we can. I have heard and seen pictures of common people giving packets of biscuits and other eatables to the Traffic cops and the Bus drivers who are working their asses off to ensure that the people are safe.
Sadly, we had to put in lots of efforts to inform our counterparts in the other parts of the country through media like Facebook and Twitter since, well, the National Media has other important things to cover and publicise, like the Sheena Bora Murder case and How Rahul Gandhi had the nerves to speak in The Parliament.
We have observed the spirit of Brother-hood from the Mumbaikars in similar situations and I am so proud to say that we are implementing that darn well too.
We are gonna survive this and come back stronger than ever. We are waiting for the rains to subside a little so that we could be back on track at the earliest.

Amirah decides to start her own little enterprise in her home: she will be a masseuse. Of course she is not yet professional so when her first handsome guest, Amir arrives, she instantly fall for him. Lead by momentary impulsion, she doesn't only give him a good rub but she also licks his ass as if it was an ice cream. Of course Amir is a man who prefers to reply his debts in kind, giving the girl some hardcore fuck that will make her knees wobbly for a week. Maybe this enterprise will take a new profile... who knows.

Olive Juice
Do not misunderstand wisdom and get some insight at Proverbial Thought!
There is a game called Mad Gab. This is a game in which your team has to guess what actual phrase or name is hidden in a series of similar sounding words. They are encouraged to say these words out loud to hear the sounds. For example:
Olive ewe
Have you gotten it, yet?
Here is the spoiler:
"I love you."
(My wife and I follow a similar play on words. We mouth the words "olive juice" to each other. Have someone say it to you (or say it to yourself in a mirror) without actually speaking. It looks like "I love you" is being said.)
Why do I bring this up?
How many times do pastors/churches/denominations or teachers/professors and others hear what they want to hear or read what they want to read from the Bible?
How many people get confused over all of the teachings that are presented in church, bible studies, and in public?
How many people get caught up in the genealogies in the Bible (did they list actual descendants or only important descendants? The names are spelled wrong.) or seeming contradictions?
To really get controversial, how many people try to read evolution, social justice, and/or personal beliefs into their Bibles?
How many people hear God calling them to do something and misunderstand?
How many misunderstand the Gospel?
How often do you do these?
How do we confuse God's "I love you" with olive juice?
charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
1 Timothy 1:3b-11, ESV
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 1:20-31

TROTWOOD — The drought is over.
Not since the 2006-07 boys basketball season has Piqua had to prepare for a second-round tournament game.
That all changed Saturday night at Trotwood High School in Centerville D-I sectional tournament.
The Indians felt like they had lifted a gorilla off their backs after a 68-60 win over Beavercreek at Trotwood-Madison High School.
Piqua will play Greenville, a 55-50 winner over Belmont, at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night at Centerville.
"Huge, no doubt about it," Piqua coach Heath Butler said.
Especially given the added pressure of playing 4-19 Beavercreek, a team the 13-10 Indians should beat.
"From the time of the draw, that is all the kids heard," Butler said. "That Beavercreek had four wins and this should be your year. And to their credit, they stayed focus at practice and didn't let that affect them."
For a big group of Piqua seniors, it was obvious relief.
"The seniors are like a brotherhood," Colton Bachman said. "Obviously this feels really good — but big picture, this program hadn't had a tournament win in nine years, so this huge for us."
With Bachman scoring 18 points on six of nine shooting from the floor in the opening half, the Indians took a 30-27 lead to the locker room.
After Beavercreek had closed to within 36-35 in the third quarter — and was determined not to let Bachman score — the Indians role players step up.
Tyren Cox had two putbacks, CJ Davis hit a three, Ben Schmiesing knocked a shot down from just inside the 3-point line and Caleb Patton hit a free throw as Piqua extended the lead to 46-39 going to the fourth quarter.
"Those guys aren't all-GWOC players or anything like that," Butler said. "That is guys stepping up — and Tyren (Cox) and CJ (Davis) are two seniors doing that."
Beavercreek wouldn't go away.
A three by Jackson Tedder had pulled Beavercreek within 49-48 with 6:00 to go.
It took Bachman — who had been scoreless in the second half — just fives seconds to answer with a 35-foot bomb to take the lead back to 52-48.
"Cold-blooded," Butler said.
Bachman never hesitated.
"I know I wasn't getting a lot of shots in the second half," Bachman said. "But, there are times when I just have to step up for the team."
Beavercreek wouldn't go away — with Jon Alessandro scoring 12 in the fourth quarter.
They got within four twice in the final two minutes — but Davis had some big baskets in the fourth quarter and Bachman made a couple free throws late to seal the deal.
"It kind of felt like the Tecumseh game (in the fourth quarter) last year, when they came back to beat us," Bachman said. "We just had to find a way to grind it out."
Bachman finished with 24 points for the Indians, while Bradley Hohlbein had 13 — including eight in the fourth quarter, including a big three.
Davis had nine points and seven rebounds, Nate Monnin had eight points and five rebounds and Derrick Gullett scored seven points.
"We had a lot of people contribute tonight," Butler said.
Alessandro had a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds for Beavercreek, while Tedder added 16 points and five rebounds and Jackson Back scored 12
Piqua scorched the nets for 24 of 37 from the floor for 65 percent and 13 of 23 from the line for 57 percent.
Beavercreek was 20 of 44 from the floor for 45 percent and 10 of 12 from the line for 83 percent.
Piqua won the battle of the boards 23-22 and had 10 turnovers to Beavercreek's 6.
"I thought we did a good job, both rebounding and keeping our turnovers down," Butler said.
Bachman is now just 11 points shy of Mark Matthews career scoring record at Piqua.
"People have been telling me for the last couple weeks to go for it," Bachman said with a laugh. "That is not what is about. I just enjoy playing with these guys so much. We are not ready to quit yet."
After waiting this long for a tournament win — why settle for one.
Piqua (68)
Bradley Hohlbein 5-1-13, Derrick Gullett 2-3-7, Nate Monnin 3-2-8, CJ Davis 4-0-9, Colton Bachman 7-6-24, Nash Black 0-0-0, Ben Schmiesing 1-0-2, Brady Hill 0-0-0, Tyren Cox 2-0-4, Caleb Patton 0-1-1. Totals: 24-13-68.
Beavercreek (60)
Jackson Back 4-0-12, Jon Alessandro 7-5-21, Drew Prater 0-2-2, Cedric Baldwin 3-0-6, Jackson Hansen 0-3-3, Jackson Tedder 6-0-16, Jordan Williams 0-0-0, Alec Otto 0-0-0. Totals: 20-10-60.

Civil society expresses concern over sate of human rights
KARACHI: In compliance to GSP Plus status, The Punjab government should establish the independent and empowered provincial human rights institutions, e.g. Punjab commission for human rights, child rights and minority rights commissions according to the Paris Principles. The existing institutions such as the Punjab Commission on the Status of Women and Child Protection Directorate should be empowered and provided adequate resources to dispense their responsibilities according to their mandates. The Govt. should also take steps to withdraw reservations on compliance with international conventions including the ICCPR, ICESCR, CEDAW and UNCAT and strengthen institutions to facilitate access to implementation of labour right, women, religious minorities and environmental protection.
These views were expressed by the members of the Civil Society Working Group (Punjab) on GSP Plus at a press conference, held at Lahore Press club to present key concerns of civil society regarding human rights compliance by the Government of Punjab.
The speakers note with concern that the Cabinet Committee on GSP+ has failed to come up with proposal for holistic enforcement of human rights. Moreover, the provincial Treaty Implementation Cell continues to struggle with constraints regarding staff and financial resource two years after the explicit commitments made by the federal and the provincial governments.
Bushra Khaliq Executive Director WISE and convener of the Civil Society Working Group on GSP+ while appreciating the grant of the GSP+ status to Pakistan by the European Union, said the scheme, by way of tariff free exports, offers immense potential for economic benefits and employment creation. She said Punjab Province having 48,000 industrial units predominantly the textile and the leather goods sector, could be a key beneficiary of this scheme immensely. Therefore, it is the obligation of the provincial government to take steps towards the effective compliance of the human rights conventions in order to sustain the GSP Plus status.
Expressing her regarding violation of human rights she said Police brutality, torture and custodial death are remained prevalent in Pakistan and the Punjab, that is a clear demonstration of primitive criminal justice system. Earlier, a 2013 Survey revealed that nearly 55pc accused, nabbed by the police in different cases, complained of torture in police custody. Pakistan has ratified the United Nations Convention against Torture in 2010 but no law has been devised for the implementation of the Convention. Instead, torture by the law enforcement agencies has become a common tool to extract confession and bribe from the detainees. The victims have no recourse to legal remedy.
Mumtaz Mughal Resident Director Aurat Foundation said although women's rights saw improvements in legislative measures. In the last two years, the provincial assembly passed The Punjab Fair Representation of Women Bill 2014 and The Punjab Commission on the Status of Women Bill 2013. However, domestic Violence Bill is pending before the House has become a victim of political manoeuvring. The administrative constraints and socio-cultural impediments continue to hamper women in full actualization as citizens.
Peter Jacob, of Centre for Social Justice, said as advocates of human rights, we appreciate the qualification of compliance of human rights commitments attached to the scheme, and the fact that the status is conditional to the compliance with the 27 international treaties on labour, human and women's rights, environment, and control of narcotics and corruption. The government of Punjab, together with federal government, should seriously look into the non-implementation of orders of the Supreme Court and respective High Courts concerning human rights e.g. the Supreme Court judgment in S.M.C No. 1 2014, he demanded.
Irfan Mufti, Secretary South Asia Partnership Pakistan said honouring its responsibilities under Article 8 of the constitution of Pakistan; the government should develop a human rights policy, defining the role of different ministries, departments and human rights institutions. He urged the govt. to take maximum benefit of the GSP Plus status and ensure safety and security of human rights defenders, including lawyers, journalists, health workers, activists and civil society members against vilification and threatening against open incitement to violence under different pretexts.
Khalid Mahmood, Labour Education Foundation talking about the labour rights situation demanded of the government to ensure labour rights, including eradication of child labour and bonded labour, enforcement of minimum wages in formal and informal sectors (agriculture, home based workers, brick kilns, manufacturing), right to association (trade unions) through enabling implementation mechanisms, procedural legislation and institutional reforms.
Munazza Hashmi, of Encourage the Human Development said situation of Human rights in South Punjab is very dismal. She demanded of the government control crimes against women, including acid violence by taking dedicated measures to ensure women's protection and enforcement to fundamental rights.

"But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men." (Psalm 73:2-5 KJV)
Have you ever noticed how the 'wicked' and as yet 'unredeemed' people of the world tend to have some pretty amazing luck? How many times have you heard a believer ask "I am redeemed through Christ and I try to do good works for the Lord, but why is it I keep having major problems while I see so many wicked evil people doing so well?" It sure does seem that way at times, doesn't it? This world is being ruled to a certain extent by Satan until Christ's returns and bounds him for 1000 years. Anything that goes against the world system, or the worlds way, is going against the wind and it causes turbulence.
God loves people unconditionally right? Does he not love a person that is yet, unredeemed and who has not accepted Christ? The Bible is clear that God loves everyone, sinners included, unconditionally. And you know what? If a person is not recognizing their sinfulness and is asking God for mercy, saying to God "I WILL pay you back", that person is trying to buy their way to freedom from their sin debt. That will NOT save that person. However, does God have the right to help them from their financial situation in compassion? Look at this Scripture,
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5: 43-48 KJV)
These are the very words of Jesus instructing us how to behave and live for God. This is how our attitude should be. He tells us here that God loves the unredeemed too and He sends good things to both the wicked and the good. Jesus is telling us plainly that this is how we should be treating others, both believers and non believers, after our Salvation. Where would we be without the forgiveness that God obtained for us through Jesus Christ? We would be hell bound for eternity my friend. Thank God for His forgiveness, now go and forgive others and God will highly respect that as He works through you to a lost world.
You have trouble while the wicked seem not to have troubles? Understand that God has given you ALL THINGS through Christ. You are Heaven bound forever. But what of the wicked and unredeemed? They may be having it good now but it is fleeting. Be encouraged because Christ said ,
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 KJV).
The word 'tribulation' used here in the original Greek is the word 'thlipsis' which has a meaning of 'pressure (what constricts or rubs together), used of a narrow place that "hems someone in"; tribulation, especially internal pressure that causes someone to feel confined, a feeling of no way to escape" .
With the Holy Spirit residing withing us we are bound to go against the grain of the world system as it is today because it is an ungodly world system right now. And it will continue to be until Jesus returns to Earth to rule and reign. As believers in Christ, the Holy Spirit guides us and renews our minds over time and we start to see things through God's eyes and not the worlds eyes. We need to have a heart for the lost. Do you not remember that you were once lost too?
One side of the coin is that the wicked prosper because God is good to the unbeliever and the believer. The other side of the coin at work is Satan and his fallen angels. The Bible calls Satan 'the ruler of this world' (John 12:31) And Satan is perfectly fine with a person that either rejects God altogether, or a person that bases his status with God on their own self effort and good works. Satan love sit when people do all kinds of 'religious things' and 'rituals' and 'penance for sins'. He loves it when people compare themselves with others as a standard of righteousness instead of comparing against the true standard, our Holy God. He loves it because these people are having the same sin that Satan has; the sin of pride. It is all about self effort and self righteousness. If you think about it a moment; will Satan and his fallen angels work to continue them in prosperity and keep their mind off God, or give them troubles in life?
You see, it is a funny thing about life troubles. Many times it is only in these life troubles that people tend to cry out to God for help. We realize the trouble is way out of our control. When we are at the very bottom , there is only ONE way to look and that is UP! Up to God for help. Satan does not want people turning to God or thinking that maybe there is a God who will help me, who loves me. So, as ruler of this world Satan and his fallen angels may be assisting these people in being successful in the worldly and unGodly system, in which we live. And this being the case, if you are having troubles in life that just seem to gnaw at you and you are fighting one battle and then into another. You need to know where it is coming from. It is like Jesus says,
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matthew 5:11-12 KJV)
Rejoice when you are being persecuted and people say all kinds of evil things about you? When they gossip about you and falsely accuse you? Why rejoice in that? Because God has given you ALL THINGS.
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Romans 8:32 KJV)
At the Rapture you will be as Jesus is! Immortal. Blessed for ever. The wicked do not have this long term blessed hope. All they have is FEAR in what is coming for them. But believers in Christ do! Jesus says to be exceedingly GLAD! GREAT is your reward in heaven!
This world and world system is fleeting. Most people have a life span of maybe 90 years? Most only around 70-80 years. What is that amount of time verses forever and ever and ever in the presence of God, with no more fleshly sinful mind in people? Where everything is a pure blessing. Where there will be no more tears even? At the moment of a persons Salvation our inner nature became a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) A heaven bound creation. We are just waiting for our bodies to be changed and then ZAP!.. we are in the presence of Jesus forever in immortality.

Watch Film Castings You Never Knew You Wanted With This Impersonator
It's often hard to imagine iconic roles in cinema being fulfilled by anyone other than the actors we've come to know. Arguably, the actors themselves are as equally iconic to the role itself. But it's always fun to imagine what the role could have been under the grasp of someone else.
Some memorable casting close calls include Will Smith playing Neo in The Matrix instead of Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage as Superman in the abandoned Tim Burton helmed Superman Lives project, and the world almost witnessed Leonardo DiCaprio trying to get a reservation at Dorsia as Patrick Bateman, before we were eventually blessed with Christian Bale in American Psycho.
Enter Ross Marquand, an actor best known for his work in The Walking Dead, and an accomplished impersonator. Before Marquand became famous on TV, he was famed for being extremely accurate in the art of mimickery. A talent he has since proven time and time again.
In the clip below, watch as he "remixes" classic castings with actors we could have never conceived of giving a shot.


text: Considering the last few days I decided to re-post an earlier clip. It's a remix of El Nino and the original voice was Henry Rollins but it's been digitized to sound like an angry toddler. It's one of the funniest clips I've ever seen in relation to weather patterns although I should warn you the language isn't always 'polite'. So hope you enjoy this one:

Golkonda, Hyderabad
Golkonda was originally known as Mankal.Golkonda Fort was first built by the Kakatiya dynasty as part of their western defenses along the lines of the Kondapalli Fort.The city and the fortress were built on a granite hill that is 120 meters (480 ft) high, surrounded by massive battlements. The fort was rebuilt and strengthened by Rani Rudrama Devi and her successor Prataparudra.Later,the fort came under the control of the Musunuri Nayaks, who defeated the Tughlaqi army occupying Warangal.It was ceded by the Musunuri Kapaya Naidu to the Bahmani Sultanate as part of a treaty in 1364.
Under the Bahmani Sultanate, Golkonda slowly rose to prominence. Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk (r. 1487–1543), sent as a governor of Telangana, established it as the seat of his government around 1501. Bahmani rule gradually weakened during this period, and Sultan Quli formally became independent in 1538, establishing the Qutb Shahi dynasty based in Golkonda.Over a period of 62 years, the mud fort was expanded by the first three Qutb Shahi sultans into the present structure, a massive fortification of granite extending around 5 km in circumference. It remained the capital of the Qutb Shahi dynasty until 1590 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad. The Qutb Shahis expanded the fort, whose 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) outer wall enclosed the city.
The fort finally fell into ruin in 1687, after an eight year long siege leading to its fall at the hands of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
