Woolooware High School students help launch new cyber safety video
Students from the Woolooware High School will today help the Australian Federal Police (AFP) launch a new cyber safety video as part of its school cyber safety program.
The idea for "If your phone could talk" was developed by students from Woolooware High School last year as part of NSW Police Sutherland PCYC's STR8TLK program. The STR8TLK program aims to help educate students and raise awareness of the safe and responsible use of mobile technology.
Students were involved in choosing an appropriate vehicle to promote the ethical use of technology to their peers, which resulted in the development of the video.
The "If your phone could talk" video aims to encourage young people to think about the ethical choices they make when using their mobile devices and how their choices can affect themselves and their peers.
The video will form part of future cyber safety presentations for young people which will be delivered by the AFP and its state and territory police force ThinkUKnow partners.
AFP Coordinator Strategic Initiatives Dr Jenny Cartwright said it is important that young people understand how to use their mobile phones safely and responsibly.
"The video being launched today attempts to encourage users to think about how they use their mobile phone and how it affects not only them, but the people around them," Dr Cartwright said.
"We are delighted to hear of the great work being done by the cyber safety ambassadors at the Woolooware High School and thank them for working with us to develop this video."
ThinkUKnow, together with its partners aim to educate both adults and young people about the risks online and how to create a safer online experience for young people.
For further information and resources, or to register your school for a presentation go to ThinkUKnow

very comfy esp when you have kids since it's roomy inside making it easy to put them in their car seats w/o hurting yourself
Quality and reliability8.0/10
had our car for 1 year and still running very well considering it's second hand
Overall verdict8.0/10
I used to prefer SUVS over cars prior to moving to Australia and so getting a Mitsubishi Magna was not that appealing to me at first. But I started to change my mind after a couple of days because first I noticed how smooth it was when you drive it. I also noticed it accelerates really well without losing its smoothness. The biggest thing that I love about our car is that it has such a huge space inside. I am amazed how easy it is to put my children inside the car in their respectve car seats with such ease.

The rapid demise of the residential mortgage-backed securities market in the early days of the financial crisis, back in the summer of 2007, was not wholly disagreeable to many proponents of one of its rivals: the covered bond market. Traditionalists had long argued that their product was superior to securitisations and were happy to have been proved in their eyes, at least correct.
Around the world covered bond bankers pushed the product as a safe alternative method of mortgage finance, and enjoyed a degree of success in winning around governments, regulators and potential issuers.
But as the crisis persisted, and particularly after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the benchmark covered bond market itself came to a grinding halt and these arguments sounded less credible. Protests that the market was suffering no more than asset classes such as peripheral eurozone government bonds or senior unsecured debt fell on deaf ears as practical, rather than theoretical solutions were being sought. The market spluttered along in fits and starts unconvincingly for the first four months of the year.
Then, on May 7, the European Central Bank suddenly thrust covered bonds back into the limelight by announcing that it would buy Eu60bn of covered bonds to boost the eurozone financial system. That it did so in an announcement where no other surprising or dramatic initiatives were revealed only gave the news more prominence.
Suddenly everyone was talking about covered bonds again.
Even if observers struggled to work out just how much impact the ECBs action would have on the market and the eurozone economy given that details of the plan were not due to be announced until June 4 its move was hailed as an endorsement of covered bonds.
"The important thing for me is that the ECB did not state that its rationale was to push down rates, as has been the case with asset purchases in the US, but to help get liquidity back into a very important market, to help banks to issue," says Claus Tofte Nielsen, senior portfolio manager at Norges Bank Investment Management.
Spreads immediately tightened an average of around 20bp from multi-cédulas tightening as much as 50bp to Pfandbriefe perhaps 10bp bringing covered bond funding costs down to a level at which issuers were ready to issue, while investors took comfort from what was expected to be the equivalent of a Eu60bn ECB backstop bid.
The result was Eu12bn of new issues in the following two weeks more than the Eu9.5bn of new issuance in the first four months of the year and after an April when no new jumbos at all had hit the market. That the first issue was a Eu1.5bn five year cédulas hipotecarias for Santander, after almost a year of zero issuance from Spain and four months of supply almost exclusively from France and Germany, was all the more encouraging for market participants.
A way out of the crisis
One of the nine issuers that contributed to the Eu12bn of supply was Dexia Municipal Agency. While several of the banks issuing in the wake of the ECB announcement have turned to their governments for financial support, among them the Dexia group had perhaps suffered the most fallout from the collapse of Lehman Brothers, being rescued by the Belgian, French and Luxembourg governments at the end of September the day after Hypo Real Estate and its Depfa arm had to be bailed out.
Like many other banks, Dexia had since then only been visible in the public markets through government guaranteed issuance, but after its Eu1.5bn 12 year obligations foncières issue Véronique Hugues, the groups global head of long term funding, said that she was delighted to be back in the covered bond market.
"We can now achieve a nice mix of state guaranteed funding, which is limited to maturities up to 2011, and covered bonds, which remain a very solid credit for investors, especially on our side where we are still exclusively concentrating on the public sector," says Hugues.
"I really do not see why this product would not be an interesting alternative for investors looking for safety and at the same time duration. This really is the perfect product for them."The belief that the ECB sees covered bonds as part of an exit strategy from crisis measures in general and government guaranteed issuance in particular was reinforced by a report published days after it announced its Eu60bn plan prepared by its banking supervision committee, EU Banks Funding Structures and Policies.
The report cited the lack of a clear way out of government guaranteed issuance and expressed concern at the asset-liability mismatches. "All in all, the growing imbalance between the longer term lending to customers and the shorter term funding of banks activities created a maturity mismatch in banks balance sheets and exposed banks to increased funding and counterparty risks," said the report, which also noted the short term nature of retail deposits.
This asset-liability mismatch has also not escaped the notice of the rating agencies. "The focus of the rating agencies was previously on capital," says Andrew Porter, global head of covered bond origination at HSBC in London, "but recently they have been looking at liability profiles. That is an issue that is going to become an increasing priority."
However, covered bonds cannot start taking regulators support for granted. The Financial Services Authority, for example, in October tightened its grip on the UK market by requiring that issuers pre-clear any new deals while it reviews its policy on covered bond issuance. Although the public markets had been closed, UK banks had been printing billions of pounds of issues to access the Bank of Englands liquidity facilities. Meanwhile rating agencies had been demanding higher levels of over-collateralisation to maintain covered bond ratings as issuers were downgraded and the outlook for house prices deteriorated.
Primary flowing, secondary frozen
While the ECB spurred the primary market into action, it did not help the secondary market, which market participants say had been gradually improving before the announcement.
This was not what the ECB had been hoping for.
"As regards the re-opening of securitisation and covered bond markets more specifically," said the ECBs report, "while it is essential that simple and transparent secured structures be established, it is also of vital importance to investors that liquidity be restored to these markets."
Indeed investors disappointment at the lack of liquidity that covered bonds have offered had been perhaps the key reason why the market had not lived up its potential. Not only were investors not able to buy and sell bonds in a way that they had hoped, but the inter-dealer market-making agreements that were supposed to ensure liquidity had pushed spreads wider.
Led by the European Covered Bond Councils market related issues working group, market participants have been working to develop electronic systems that could help restore liquidity. Although progress has been slow, the first concrete results of these initiatives are expected to be piloted in June when daily auctions of covered bonds are set to be held on a Eurex Bonds platform.
This will bring together dealers to quote bids and offers on baskets of different maturities of bonds in two minute periods, at the end of which any prices that cross will result in transactions, the prices of which will then be published to bring greater price transparency to the market.
Laurent Ortiz, general manager of Eurex Bonds, says that gaining the support and participation of the market will be key to the success of the enterprise.
"We have a system that we believe can help restore liquidity in covered bonds," he says. "However, our system alone will not make this happen; there needs to be a combination of factors, including the support of banks and the restoration of confidence in the asset class.
"Will it work? It will if we manage to get the major participants to be present. And we believe they will be."
The buyside is engaging with dealers through the creation of the Covered Bond Investors Council (CBIC), which was unveiled by the International Capital Markets Association in March. Comprising investors, the CBIC is chaired by NBIMs Tofte Nielsen.
"It was logical that we should turn to ICMA to parent the council as part of its activities," said Tim Skeet, head of covered bond origination at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and chairman ICMA UK & Ireland region. "It is an important initiative to re-establish confidence in the asset class."
No, we cant?Meanwhile covered bonds claims to represent a more attractive alternative to RMBS appear undiminished. "Covered bonds dont have the problems that securitisations do," says Richard Kemmish, head of covered bond origination at Credit Suisse in London. "In the so-called originate-to-distribute model the lack of interest of the originator in the performance of the assets has been perceived to have been a problem.
"The fact that the European Commission is requiring originators to retain a 5% first loss piece speaks to the need to have skin in the game now."
It is not only in the covered bonds home of Europe that this view is widely accepted; the products avoidance of the pitfalls of securitisation are a key reason why the product has won over some influential supporters in the US, where the originate-to-distribute model caused the most damage.
Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), has been a high profile figure in the debate over the future of finance and banking in the US and has kept covered bonds in the public eye in spite of similar concerns to those expressed by the UK FSA. Most recently, Bair in April said that she still sees potential for a covered bond market in the US.
Despite being lobbied by the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association (which has set up a US Covered Bond Council) and politicians such as Republican congressman Scott Garrett, who has pushed to introduce legislation, concrete progress towards a US covered bond market has been limited since the US Treasury, under the Bush administration, last July set out its Best Practices for Residential Covered Bonds.
"You hear favourable mentions from time to time, even from Sheila Bair, but everythings still kind of frozen," says Bert Ely, a financial and monetary policy consultant at Ely & Company and self-professed FDIC watcher in Washington. "Its not dead, but its not going anywhere."
He says vested interests in the US have meant that restarting the securitisation markets has been given the priority that perhaps restarting the covered bond market has enjoyed in Europe. On top of this, the future roles of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remains unresolved.
North of the border, more progress is being made. The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada has been considering a proposal for a legislative framework that the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) submitted in February. David Power, chair of the CBAs covered bond working group, said in February that although Canadian covered bonds do not need a legislative framework given that the existing framework is robust and has met with approval from many market participants a covered bond law is "the natural evolution for a country that permits its banks to issue the product".
Call it what you wantRather than North America, it is in Asia that covered bonds have made their biggest breakthrough in the new era. And although Japan was for some time the frontrunner in the race to issue the regions first covered bond, South Korea in early May crossed the line first.
Kookmin Bank sold a $1bn five year issue structured by HSBC, joint bookrunner with Citi, after approval from the Korean Financial Services Commission.
"We believe covered bonds can be a viable funding tool for Korean Banks," says Kang Chung-won, Kookmins chief executive. "We hope that covered bonds will provide us with a long term, stable funding tool."
The pricing of 500bp over mid-swaps, equivalent to 550bp over US Treasuries, was the subject of fierce debate, with some market participants questioning the economics behind the deal. Covered bond bankers also questioned the deals qualification for the asset class, given its structure and the inclusion of credit cards in the cover pool alongside residential mortgages.
However, these were no obstacle to the investors targeted by Kookmin: not traditional European covered bond buyers, but credit investors familiar with Asian sovereign and bank debt.
Even bankers involved in covered bonds play down the debate over the deals status, looking instead to the future possibilities the transaction highlights.
"It is a super-senior bond that gives market access in decent size to those issuers that might not otherwise have such deep access to the public markets," says Mauricio Noé, global head of covered bonds at Royal Bank of Scotland in London.
"I wouldnt necessarily call it a covered bond in the traditional European sense, but it points the way to how issuers can get their deals ratings up to a level where they can access markets in size in a stressed environment."

I met up with a guy online a few weeks back and we've been on 3 dates so far. On the second we slept together (no big deal). We still kept in touch afterwards throughout the week after the second date, but the texts became less conversational and more "small talk related" such as "hows your evening, hows work blah blah". Sometimes it took 12 hours to get a reply from him. There was no hint or initiation at hanging out again, until he text me Friday evening and I asked him what his weekend plans were. He said he wasn't doing much on the Saturday and I said neither was I. He simply said "I guess we could see each other if we're free," to which I said, that would be good. So he knew I didn't have any plans. Anyway, we still kept in touch on the Saturday but there was no mention of any plan until later in the afternoon. I went to the gym, and come 3 o clock he asked if I wanted to come over and watch a film.
So I did. We hung out. He lives about 30 minutes away, and I don't drive so getting to places can be a bit tricky. By the time I got to his, it was 5.30 and the last train was at 9.00PM. I said I could stay over if he liked, only if he didn't mind dropping me off in the morning and I'd give him some gas money for his trouble (there are no trains until later in the day on a Sunday, otherwise I would have caught the train back the next morning) He agreed, and I stayed the night.
After that night, it took him 3 whole days to text me. I understand guys need a bit of space after intimacy, so when he text me, I simply said it was good to hear from him. So far this week, it's takes him almost a day to reply back to texts and there's been no initiation of doing something together. Unlike last week, I prefer to make plans for dates with a bit more notice, instead of an hour beforehand. I even hinted when I saw him last we should go biking one day (we both like sport). I'm fairly laidback but I feel like he's wasting my time. Should I stop contacting h

you sound like a great girl, with the exception I think you are giving yourself away too easily IMHO. ex. Free cake anyone... not highly valued. $500 cake, high value!
My guess is yes this isn't going to work.
There is one thought that he just isn't a planner or think ahead very well. I used to have that problem and would come up with ideas at the last minute. My girlfriend was a planner and it frustrated her. So try to engage him in discussion and see if he can be better about planning stuff ahead and if he is interested. You have risk here of he really isn't that interested, but you have to find that out.
To me, you are building a relationship on sand and it doesn't feel good to me, but it is your life.
This is really helpful, thanks. I can see I was probably too available, but I hate playing games. It's achieving that balance. My gut tells me this isn't going to work out. We just text when we're not together, which to be honest, I find tiring. I like to think he's mature enough not to simply use someone for sex and then drop them, but we're all different.
I think it's best to stop texting him and move on.
Most Helpful Girl
Yeah, I wouldn't set my sights on him if I were you.00|00|0

I need three characteristics for Mathilde and her husband from the short story "The Necklace" that show that they are dissimilar, with examples of when they occur.

The character dissimilarities of Madame and Monsieur Loisel are highlighted early in the story. At the simple meal of beef stew, he delights over the simple fare, showing his great contentment with their lives and the simple things in it while she can't stop fantasizing about dining with society's elite.
The two are also contrasted when Monsieur Loisel comes home with the invitation. While he had been greatly inconvenienced to secure the invitation, she can do nothing but complain that she has nothing to wear. She is ungrateful, and he ends up sacrificing four hundred francs, the amount that she calculates is the most she can get out of him.
That fateful evening when the necklace is discovered to be missing, he launches into action while she sits in defeated submission waiting for him to find it even though he has but a few short hours before having to be at work.


text: Here is a message about a GREAT Earth Day project you may want to join... Earth Day is just around the corner - April 22! This is your invitation to join in on one of the oldest and largest educational activities coordinated on the Internet: The Earth Day Groceries Project. Celebrating its ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY on the Internet, this is a free environmental education activity where students are empowered as educators in their communities. The web site: http://www.earthdaybags.org The procedure: 1) a school/group borrows paper bags from a local grocery store 2) students decorate those bags with beautiful environmental art and environmental awareness messages, and then return the bags to the store 3) the store distributes those bags (full of groceries) to amazed shoppers on Earth Day 4) the school sends in a report to the project web site, documenting its participation No registration is required. It costs nothing to participate. All that's needed is someone to organize the effort at your school (other groups can participate, too!). Stop by the web site to find out more. You'll find complete directions, free posters, an FAQ, screensavers, PowerPoint presentations, desktop wallpaper, and much more! This year, there is a moderated mailing list (listserv) for the project, where late-breaking news is distributed and where ideas are exchanged. The Earth Day Groceries Project has thousands of inspirational reports and pictures archived on the web site. In 2003, over a million pieces of art, carefully created on grocery bags, were given away by children who cared about their Earth. In the spirit of Earth Day, that message will be sent out again in 2004. I hope you and your school can be a part of it. Happy Earth Day! - Mark Mark Ahlness mahlness@xxxxxxxxxxx The Earth Day Groceries Project http://www.earthdaybags.org Gail Lovely www.GailLovely.com

Unni Namboodiri Lectures in Geometry and Topology
Unni Namboodiri (1956–1981) was a brilliant student of mathematics at the University of Chicago. He died in an automobile accident in December 1981, just a few days after presenting and defending his doctoral thesis Equivariant vector fields on spheres, written under the direction of J. Peter May. The Unni Namboodiri Lecture Series was established in his memory by his family.

Mike Hill (UCLA): Evenness in algebraic topology
Thematic Abstract
Various notions of "evenness" play a fundamental role in algebraic topology. Spaces with only even cells tend to have more readily computed and conceptual cohomology, and cohomology theories which take non-zero values only on even spheres are the heart of the "chromatic" approach to stable homotopy which links algebraic topology and algebraic geometry. In the most geometric cases, we have both, meaning that geometric objects related to vector bundles and bordism are shockingly well-behaved, with the cells and homotopy groups themselves encoding rich information.
Equivariantly, we have many different notions of spheres and cells built out of representations, and these give other kinds of notions for "even". In this series of talks, I'll discuss a version of even for equivariant spectra which behaves very much like the classical cases. This allows us to understand the spaces that make up the equivariant bordism theory used in the proof of the Kervaire Invariant One problem, to give a conceptual description of the Steenrod algebra for various equivariant cohomology theories, and to explain certain duality phenomena observed in spectral algebraic geometry.
Midwest Topology Seminar
This year's Namboodiri Lectures are occurring in conjunction with the Midwest Topology Seminar, which is taking place at UChicago on Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14. See more information here.
Lecture 1
Friday, May 12, 2017, 4:00pm–5:00pm in Ryerson 251
Abstract: Complex projective space plays a fundamental role in algebraic topology as a space which simultaneously represents line bundles and the second cohomology group with integral coefficients. This space has an additional extremely useful feature: it has cells only in even dimensions (and homotopy only in even dimensions). This makes many algebraic topology constructions exceptionally easy. The Grassmanians of \(n\)-planes in \(\mathbb{C}^{\infty}\) all also have cells only in even dimensions, meaning that the they share many of the properties of complex projective space. More surprisingly, Wilson in his thesis showed that the even spaces in the complex bordism spectrum have only even cells and only even homotopy groups. This talk will explore these classical results and their consequences before exploiting the natural \(C_2\)-equivariance of the spaces to describe a similar Real version.
Lecture 2
Monday, May 15, 2017, 4:00pm–5:00pm in Eckhart 202
Abstract: Extending to larger groups: the norm, \(G\)-equivariant Wilson spaces, and the equivariant Steenrod algebra. Central to the Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel proof of the Kervaire invariant one problem was a well-behaved multiplicative induction functor, the norm. The norm of \(MU_\mathbb{R}\) from \(C_2\) to \(C_{2^n}\) was the basic object of study in that proof, and as a Thom spectrum, this encodes significant geometric information. Moreover, the Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel approach gave a way to understand various spectra built out of the norm of \(MU_\mathbb{R}\), including the one giving the homology. This talk will describe this set-up together with how one can use this to vastly generalize the earlier results about the Real Wilson spaces and how one can compute the \(C_{2^n}\)-equivariant Steenrod algebra with constant coefficients.
Lecture 3: Towards \(RO(G)\)-graded algebraic geometry: explorations of duality for Galois covers via equivariant homotopy
Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 4:30pm–5:30pm in Eckhart 206
Abstract: The unifying theme from the first two talks is the lifting of ordinary, non-equivariant maps from spheres to equivariant maps from representation spheres. This procedure also arises in a surprising way in spectral algebraic geometry, where we can use these techniques to understand a spectral version of Serre duality for certain derived moduli problems. This talk will focus primarily on several examples related to the theory of topological modular forms with level structure, where the equivariance coming from the level, coupled with refinements of homotopy from \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded maps to \(RO(G)\)-graded maps, gives a conceptual and computationally useful approach to duality.
2016 Lectures
Yves Benoist (Université Paris-Sud)
On spectral gaps in simple Lie groups
Lecture 1: Dense subgroups in \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\), with N. de Saxce
Monday, May 16, 2016, 4:00pm–5:00pm in Ryerson 251
Abstract: I will focus on proper Borel measurable dense subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) and explain that their Hausdorff dimension is zero. I will also explain why the convolution of sufficiently many compactly supported continuous functions is differentiable. We will see how these two questions are related. The main tool will be a local spectral gap property.
Lecture 2: Random walk on \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\), with JF. Quint
Tuesday, May 17, 2016, 4:30pm–5:30pm in Eckhart 202
Abstract: I will focus on random walks on \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) and explain the law of large numbers for the coefficients. I will also focus on the regularity of the stationary measure on the projective line. We will see how these two questions are related. The main tool will be a spectral gap property.
Lecture 3: Tempered homogeneous spaces, with T. Kobayashi
Thursday, May 19, 2016, 4:30pm–5:30pm in Eckhart 202
Abstract: I will focus on unitary representations of \(\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})\) and give a criterion for the temperedness of the regular representations on its algebraic homogeneous spaces. I will also explain the relation between temperedness and induction. We will see how these two questions are related. The main tool will be a uniform spectral gap property.

So I went out with this guy who was really nice and he was so-so in looks but I didn't mind. But anyways we were at this diner and he was laughing and his teeth was so yellow. Like a school bus or the light that lets cars slow down. That was so disgusting that I had to make up an excuse to leave early.
Has anyone else ever dated someone with a major turn off?

One time me and a guy went ice-skating for a first date, I told him it was my first time, I was really bad! But in the middle of me learning to ice-skate he just left to go hit on some girl, and the worst part was she wasn't even pretty.00|00|0
Wow that's douche bag material. Smfh
Yea, he was a huge douche bag, and a player. But at least I got rid of him before there were any feelings

I hope somebody can help me out here. I am lebanese and I got one single Schegen visa to Greece. I will be arriving through international flight (not olympic airlines) to Athens, and after 3 hours of arrival, I will have to switch to Olympics domestic flight to Mykonos. Taking into consideration, that I dont have connected flights at all, what is the procedure here? should i go to the imigration to stamp my visa, collect my baggages and then check in again?
and if this is the case, i assume after checking in i wont be going to imigration again right?
I would appreciate if someone can help me in this

FicCentral received a free copy of this book from Tasty Book Tours.
Series: , The Bradens #8
Publisher: World Literary Press (Self-Published) on July 14, 2014
Genre(s): Contemporary Romance (Adult)
Pages: 300
Our Rating
Librarian Callie Barnes has visions of reading and relaxing—and maybe having a few too many drinks—on her girls' weekend away. Her hopes are crushed when her friends pull into a dude ranch instead of a spa, and she refuses to say longer than one night. That is…until she realizes the ranch is owned by sinfully sexy, and dangerously rugged, Wes Braden—the subject of her late-night fantasies.
Fearless rancher Wes Braden thinks he's the luckiest guy on the planet when the sweet, sexy librarian from his hometown shows up at his ranch. Their connection is white-hot, making it impossible for either to ignore their carnal desires. Wes is more than willing to convert sweet Callie from chick lit to a world of erotic romance, but Callie ties sex to love, and Wes avoids commitment like the plague.
Callie is thrust into physically demanding activities that ignite her deepest fears. Luckily, Wes is as tender as he is strong, and he's there every step of the way to help her find her inner strength. With Callie's influence, Wes might even discover that he's been nursing a few fears of his own. Passion pulls Callie and Wes from their safe, comfortable lives into each other's arms, and they're about to find out just how alike they really are.
This book includes mature subject matter that may not be appropriate for readers under the age of 18.
Callie spends her quiet life wanting what she can't have — and what most of the other women in town want as well. Every Thursday when Wes Braden walks into her library, butterflies hatch in her stomach. If only she could be more to him than just the girl who knows books.
But then her "spa retreat" with her girlfriends turns out to be time at a dude ranch owned by none other than her steamy crush. Just being near him is enough to set her heart racing, and it doesn't help that she doesn't know the first thing about riding horses or roughing it. Add to that her fear of heights and anything creepy-crawly, and she's sure she'll not only ruin the vacation for her friends but also make a fool of herself in the process.
I have no idea what this cover has to do with this book. To look at it, I'd expect a beach romance, which is about as far from this story as one can get. Sure, the ladies did catch some rays while they were out, but no sandy beaches in sight. And she's wearing animal print. Gross.
Oh, Wes Braden has ruined me for all other men. How one man can be all rugged and outdoorsy and hot as hell and so incredibly sweet and romantic at once is beyond explanation. And then there's the abandoned bloodhound with no sense of smell? Yep, I'm sold.
Fated for Love had me laughing from the beginning, from the moment Callie reflected on graphic versus fade-to-black love scenes in books, and then when I wasn't melting over some romantic bit Wes was managing, I was cracking up at her friends. In most stories, when the crazy girlfriends pressure the shy girl into breaking out of her shell, it's so damned uncomfortable that I almost hate them, even when it all works out in the end. But this one was different. Sure, her friends were the best kind of insane, and they totally snowed her to get her to the dude ranch, but they didn't spend all their time throwing her into awkward situations and setting her up for embarrassment. They were all sweet and funny and clearly loved her and wanted her to be happy. And that scene where they were all in her tent? Just perfect.
I also liked Callie a lot more than I expected to. I didn't necessarily think I wouldn't like her; I just thought she'd be that shy, insecure heroine who overdid the wallflower bit. But she was so much more fun than that, rising to whatever challenges were thrown at her, even when they reflected all her phobias, and it was immediately clear that while a little more introverted than her friends, she was at heart no less adventurous. And through it all, Wes was ridiculously romantic, but it was written so perfectly that instead of rolling my eyes, I was grinning like a fool.
I'd venture to say this is my new favorite book in the series, but I think I've learned my lesson. They're all so good, so different from each other, and so much fun that the next one will just end up at the top of my favorites list as well.

The management of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries FC have disapproved a story on naij.com claiming that the supporters of the modest Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side were caught drinking alcohol at the Agege Stadium on Wednesday March 29, as their team beat Abia Warriors FC 2-1.

MFM FC supporters were reportedly taking alcoholic local pile drink popularly called 'jedi' during the Matchday 16 encounter against Abia Warriors but the management of the team led by the Director of Football, Emmanuel Adeyemi, condemned the report stating that the supporters of the team are people of good reputation who will never bring the name of the club to disrepute as a result of any unholy act.
Reacting to the story Adeyemi said: "Our attention was drawn to a story claiming that our fans were spotted taking alcohol during our game against Abia Warriors well I want to state here categorically that the story was not accurate because our supporters are very modest they don't indulge in any unholy act.
"Every fan of the club have the proper knowledge of what the team stand for, they know that drinking of alcohol or smoking is against our belief and there has never been any case of such in all our games.
"I will like to use this opportunity to tell our fans to disregard the story and I want to appreciate them for their support toward the team. They have been very supportive in all our matches and we will continue to work hard and we will not disappoint them," he concluded.

Hiking, cycling, riding in France
Hiking is very popular in France, made easy by
the large number of signposted footpaths, such as the GR (or "Grande
Randonnée") footpaths which cover a network of 60,000km. For information,
contact the Fédération Française de Randonnée Pédestre* or Regional Tourist
Boards (CRT), Departmental Tourist Boards (CDT) and Tourist Offices.
For several years, cycling and mountain biking
have been on the up. You can hire bikes almost anywhere: in railway stations or
certain sports shops. You can take your bike with you in the métro and even on
the train (if dismantled it counts as hand baggage and is carried for free,
otherwise it costs 10 Euros. Bear in mind that you must reserve a
space for it when you book your journey). The list of cycling
clubs is available from the Fédération Française de Cyclotourisme.
A trot through the forest or a gallop over the
sands at dawn are 'post card' scenes not to be sneezed at. To help
organise your equestrian activities, consult any of the 300 tourist riding
centres - all governed by a quality charter - or consult the Fédération
Française d'Equitation* for information. Gee up !

Thoughts on the Laremy Tunsil Video Situation
The Laremy Tunsil situation is one of the weirdest ones I've seen in the NFL Draft possibly ever.
For those that don't know, Tunsil's twitter account started tweeting crazy pictures minutes before Tunsil was expected to be a top five pick in the 2016 Draft. Photos of someone who appeared to resemble Laremy smoking out of a gas mask were posted to the account along with screenshots of a conversation asking for money from Ole Miss coaches.
Tunsil fell all the way to 13th (Miami Dolphins) after being passed on by the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans who both selected offensive tackles.
Let's break this down:
1. What did this mean?
For one, it tells me that Tunsil was never the runaway #1 overall prospect. For him to slide to 13th so easily that means that teams generally had him, Ronnie Stanley, and Jack Conklin all ranked about the same.
2. How does this even happen?
All I can think is that someone must (1) have Tunsil's phone? Or (2) have his iPad.
This is the only way someone would have that kind of screenshots and archived video of you, AND be able to post it at the absolute worst time in your life. Whatever device Laremy's blackmailer has in his or her possession is still logged in all of his accounts.
I hope the draft prospects learned something from this. For one, this could have all been avoided with a simple password change. Change the password on draft day.
Secondly, stop recording everything you do. 2016 is really the hotbed of the snitch era. I'm not trying to be that grumpy guy who hates on everything the new era does but I remember a time where you avoided cameras. Now these guys are recording themselves- and some of them are uploading it too!
Let's keep it at this. A great man once said:
Paper chasin', tell that paper, "Look, I'm right behind ya"
Bitch, real G's move in silence like lasagna
Get your money. Stop making it so easy for them to take it away from you.

Divakar's review on Mahindra Verito Vibe D2
Year of Manufacture : 2015 | Driven no. of Kms. : 4000
- Pros: mielage, looks, interiors
- Cons: Price
I am the fan of the car, and as Rathan says, the mileage is the main factor that attracts. The interiors look elegant, and there are no complaints even with the comfort and the performance. I use this everyday to work, and it does not burn a hole in the pocket. This car also does not require much for maintenance. This is a perfect car for all, and all roads.

Host Organization: SPPA-IPA; MacOdrum Library
Thunder in Our Voices tells the story of the 1970s Berger Inquiry into the Construction of a Pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley. It was 40 years ago that the ground-breaking Berger inquiry sparked a national discussion about Indigenous land rights and gave a forum to the rising Indigenous movement. The issues that the Inquiry addressed are the same as those that are with us today, as more pipelines through Indigenous lands are in prospect. As part of the exhibit, you can watch interviews with the original Dene, Inuvialuit and corporate witnesses before the Inquiry, recorded then and now. The exhibit will be open March 18 to 25. Admission is free.
Drew Ann Wake, a CBC reporter and museum curator, reported on the original inquiry and is now traveling the country educating students.

One of the few good things about modern times: If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.
You will have made a woman somewhere wonder what the hell the world is coming to. You will have made a man somewhere angry, and maybe, made him take up arms. You will have given the school children their next day's topic of choice. And you will have given newspaper companies their next day's profit.
And then you will be forgotten.

After you've stuffed yourself with turkey and taters and gravy and pie and -- of course -- stuffing, you might be ready to do penance before the next rush of holiday calories.
If so, this is the dinner for you. For those post-Thanksgiving nights when you need something lighter, I give you this simple, low-carb, high-flavor "quiche" that calls for no grains, no gluten and no heavy lifting. It has, in fact, become my go-to dinner on busy weeknights simply because it is so effortless. It also happens to be pretty versatile.
The whole thing is cooked in a single skillet and requires only a few minutes hands-on time. The "crust" is made from caramelized cauliflower florets, but actually any number of other vegetables could be substituted. I've done it with broccoli florets, as well as cubed butternut squash.
This quiche also can be seasoned however you like. I usually keep it simple with thyme and garlic, but you can take it in any number of directions. Curry powder would be great, as would smoked paprika and cumin. And if you like it spicy, add some chopped jalapenos to the mix.
Be sure to cut your cauliflower florets very small, something between the size of a nickel and quarter is ideal. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly in the skillet.
I also like to finish the quiche with fat-free feta cheese. It adds a salty-savory flavor that I tend to crave.
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Makes 4 servings
5 cups small cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
1 large red bell pepper, cored and chopped
Salt and ground black pepper
8 egg whites (or 1 1/2 cups pasteurized egg whites)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup fat-free crumbled feta cheese

Arsenal 2 Dortmund 0: Good Performance, Better Result
Arsenal 2 (Sanogo 2′, Sanchez 57′) – Dortmund 0
Match Report – Match Highlights – Post-Match Press Conference (via Arsenal.com)
'Solidarity'. That's what the manager called for in the wake of the saddening loss to Manchester United. With Jack Wilshere and Wojciech Szczesny out injured, coupled with the whispers that Danny Welbeck was going to miss out due to a knee problem, many fans watched as Yaya Sanogo led the line and before we go ready the torches and pitchforks to wail about why Lukas Podolski wasn't given a run out, it took Sanogo just 73 seconds to finally open his Arsenal goalscoring account. Now he's 73 goals behind Lionel Messi in the all-time Champions League goalscoring records.
The passing play from Arsenal was simply amazing. Santi Cazorla may be on the spotlight for not scoring a goal since when Merlin was the Chief Wizard in Camelot, but he was outstanding on the night creating chances for his teammates. Despite soaking up a lot of pressure, Dortmund did have the odd sniff at the Arsenal goal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan firing a shot that was saved by the young Emiliano Martinez in goal.
The match clincher arrived when the inhumane Alexis Sanchez was at it again, latching onto a Cazorla pass and sweetly curling the ball past Weidenfeller. That was his ninth goal in eight games for club and country. What an addition he has been to this club!
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers were awesome in every sense of the word, wreaking havoc down the right flank to devastating effect. The Ox put up another all-action performance and performed his duties like the admirable winger he is. He almost had his moment of glory when he controlled the ball magnificently before slamming Roman Weidenfeller's bar. On the downside, there was yet another injury to Mikel Arteta and you have to feel for the Arsenal captain that has struggled to stay fit this season. Sanogo also pulled up short as the game reached its climax which must have dampened his spirit that was lifted following his opening goal.
This ultimately meant that the bench-laden duo of Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell got chances to play some football. A third goal would have been the icing on the cake but beating Dortmund with such a good performance would go a long way in restoring some measure of confidence to the lads.

On this day in 2010, this blog was formed and it has been four years of a wonderful experience writing about the club I love and support. I'd like to use this medium to thank everyone that has played a role or two in making Gooner Daily a success story. Let's keep the flame burning.
Moving to the business of the day, Arsental host a Dortmund side on the back on a poor run of results. Before the international break, the Gunners famously surrendered a comfortable 3-0 lead against Anderlecht at the Emirates and this was followed with another dismal result against Swansea in the league. The match against Manchester United last weekend was one of the best attacking displays I've seen from the team in a long while but as always, the Gunners shot themselves in the foot as a Gibbs own goal and a Shrek clincher was enough to give the visitors their first away victory since April.
Tonight the Gunners come up against a Dortmund side that has been hot in Europe but cold in theteam Bundesliga. For a team so formidable in recent years, picking up just 11 points from 12 games has seen the German outfit have their worst start in a very long while. The Gunners are also struggling in the Premier League notching up 17 points from 12 games as well.
To injuries, the Gunners are very likely to be without the duo of Wojciech Szczesny and Jack Wilshere that suffered injuries in the defeat to Manchester United. The regulars are still out and with Theo Walcott suffering a groin strain, he's going to miss tonight's clash. On the bright side, Arsenal's French pair of Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud are back but the HFB is going to miss tonight's game as well as the game against Galatasaray next month because he's ineligible. Dortmund have injury concerns of their own with the influential Marco Reus suffering an injury in the game against Paderborn. The Germans will also ne without the likes of Sven Bender, Mats Hummels, Oliver Kirch, Nuri Sahin, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Jakub Błaszczykowski.
To team news, Emiliano Martinez is odds on to start in goal but the question remains whether Arsene Wenger would throw Koscielny straight into the mix instead of sticking with the Mertesacker – Monreal central defensive combination. Say what you want about the Spaniard but he has been better than Mertesacker in the recent games they've played together. The English pair of Kierab Gibbs and Calum Chambers would maraud the flanks.
Mikel Arteta would obviously start ahead of Mathieu Flamini and he'd be odds on to play alongside Aaron Ramsey. The Welshman hasn't hit top gear this season but he recently stated that he's getting fitter with each passing game. Santi Cazorla is a player going through some struggles as well but with Wilshere out injured and Tomas Rosicky clearly out of favor, the diminutive Spaniard would have another chance to get a run out. I expect the pacey attacking combination of Danny Welbeck, Alexis Sanchez and the Ox.
Enjoy the game wherever you are
Open Letter to Arsenal After the Club's Defeat Against Dortmund
Football is such a fascinating sport.
When things are going your way with your favorite team recording victories, all flaws are swept under the carpet and everyone is all peachy' and creamy'. When your team draws a match, there are always mixed opinions but then again, it depends on the circumstances surrounding the draw. While you would regard Arsenal's draw against Leicester to be disappointing, Arsenal's draw against Manchester City was a relief, because things could have been a lot worse.
However, when your favorite team loses, all Hell breaks loose and you'd see a 1,001 Arsene Wengers surfacing on several social media networking platforms sharing their views on how the manager could have set things up and the whole nine yards.
That's where a guy like Anayo Alexander Nwosu comes in. Simply known as @K_Sturna on Twitter, Anayo is a very passionate Arsenal fan that has been supporting the club since the days Merlin was the Chief Wizard at Camelot. In the wake of Arsenal's disappointing performance against Dortmund, this fan has shared his thoughts and I would love my readers to get a feel of his open letter to the club.
Dear Arsenal,
You have a big problem right now and Arsene Wenger is 60% of that problem, whether you agree with me or not. Maybe it's when we get knocked out from the top four come May our eyes would be opened clearly to see how things are panning out at the club.
Arsene Wenger as they say, is a genius. When he drops a quote, they'd say he's the most intelligent coach in world football. Yes, he can manage resources and I can say that no other coach in the world might have been able to go through what he did in the club's move to a new stadium but on the pitch, Wenger has been found wanting.
I can't blame young Hector Bellerin for getting his Champions League debut under such circumstances. It was his second senior match ever! That he should have been called upon for such a game is down to the manager. He was the one that chose not to improve the defense despite its glaring frailties. Even the poor ol' Mikel Arteta didn't pick himself. Wenger did. The French manager's fundamental problem is his sentiment!
We needed a 'hatchet' holding midfielder that would have been vital to the team's cause this season because of the way we attack. Wenger did not buy because of Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. You people say that Arteta has a great influence but he doesn't lead by example on the pitch. Flamini is also finished and doesn't deserve to be in the team. Mikel Arteta at his current age will not make the bench of the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea or even the new-look Manchester United. But in Arsenal, he plays on a consistent basis even to the point when fatigue takes his toll and he get's injured.
Can you imagine having only three central defenders in the team and their replacement is also the second choice right back? Sometimes I question Wenger's ambition but at the same time, I don't blame him. If a man knows that he's allowed to behave anyhow he likes in his workplace, he can just come to work, sleep and won't be productive but at the end of the month, he gets his salary and even a pay rise! What would you expect from that kind of a person? He won't do anything because there's no pressure on him.
It's glaring that Mesut Ozil is going through a phase and he's in a run of dismal form yet Wenger chose to play him in front of a 19-year-old inexperienced right back. Tomas Rosicky would have been the perfect alternative because with his energy and work rate, he would have offered protection to Bellerin, something Ozil couldn't do all game long. When Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came late on, there was a moment where he tracked back (into Bellerin's position) and made a sliding challenge on Henrikh Mkhitaryan to block a shot that would probably have gone in. Would Ozil have done this? Dortmund is renowned for closing their opponents down but at Arsenal, it's just Alexis (he learned this from his time at FC Barcelona) and Ramsey that close down for us. See the first goal we conceded and observe Jack Wilshere's body language.
How many passes did we misplace today? Since this season began, we have struggled with our intricate, crisp and accurate passing play. What happened to the way we do things? The Arsenal way we have come to love and cherish?
When you know what you need, as a manager with the financial backing Arsenal has, you should go for it. Jurgen Klopp lost Mario Gotze and replaced him with Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He lost a predator in the form of Robert Lewandowski and replaced him with Ciro Immobile and Adrian Ramos. This Dortmund team is the weakest we have ever played – there was no Marco Reus, Kuba, Matts Hummels, Shinji Kagawa, Lukasz Piszczek and Ilkay Gundogan but Arsenal failed to turn up.
I don't know what the players do during their training sessions but I must confess that Arsenal's 'big-game' mentality is horribly poor. Wenger just doesn't know how to prepare his boys for the so-called big games. I'm praying to have an engagement that would make me the game against Chelsea in Stamford Bridge next month because I have a hunch of what the outcome might just be – Arsenal going there "4 – nothing".
Arsene Wenger is too stubborn. He knows when some things aren't working out for him but he keeps trying them for reasons best known to him. Heck, he doesn't even watch our opponents before the match because he says it's 'not necessary', that we should concentrate on our own game. He will only wait when its almost too late to remove a player that is below-par. Halftime subs aren't in his lexicon except when the player is probably injured. This game needed an Ox or a Rosicky right from the start of the second half. One must wonder what Rosicky has to do to play for us this season.
Under normal circumstances, Ramsey and Ozil are meant to be on the bench in the game against Aston Villa with any two from Rosicky/Cazorla/Ox taking their places. But who am I? Just a fan right? Counter attacks have been our biggest problem since 1759, and shockingly, we still haven't resolved it. We have pace in the form of Alexis, Welbeck and the Ox, yet we can't even utilize it. See how Immobile and Aubameyang used their pace to devastating effect against us. We are waiting for Theo Walcott to return from a lengthy layoff before we begin to fly.
We sold Alex Song and converted a central midfielder to a holding midfielder. A classic case of a convincing an aging square peg that it can fill a round hole.
The only constant thing in life is change and Arsenal needs it, whether it's in personnel or methodology. Either ways I'm up for it.
Anayo Nwosu, a passionate fan.

Three finalists' projects were examined by the UFI Education Committee during their meeting on 7 June in Cologne. The Committee was delighted to see three strong finalists, each with excellent approaches: Reed Exhibition (UK), Fira de Barcelona (Spain) and ITE Group Plc. (UK). As a result, the Committee selected Fira de Barcelona as the winner of the 2016 UFI Education Award.
Fira de Barcelona was selected for the creativity of its programme and for its interesting training method, which allowed the recruitment and training of two young exhibition professionals for their role in specific international markets.
"The project presented by Fira perfectly fits our award guidelines and clearly aims at supporting talents and future leaders in their career development. The exhibition industry will be inspired by the winners' innovative approaches and creative solution", says Enrica Baccini, UFI Education Committee Chair. This year's Education Award, entitled 'Fit for the future', was designed to honour companies whose activities have measurable outcomes, and who show an outstanding recruitment and selection of skills as part of a strategic approach.
After the announcement, Olga Figuerola Gimenez-Coral, People & Organization Director at Fira de Barcelona, said: "We are very pleased and honoured to receive the 2016 UFI Education Award. The project we presented, the International Talent Development Program, has contributed a great deal to consolidate Fira's international business strategy. It is a project defined and executed with care and passion by Fira's team. We thank the jury and are very happy to share this experience with the rest of the UFI community. I also encourage the participation of all members in UFI's activities as a great learning and development opportunity".

Day #256 - Why should I be discouraged??? Change Gone Come
Thursday, March 07, 2013
My weigh in resulted in a .5 gain or 1# gain the same pound I loss last week! Body Fat the same. God says to cast my cares on Him for He cares for me and to lay my burdens at His feet...so I have. I don't weigh without having a talk with the Lord on my way to the scale. Even in the car this morning I had to take a moment to talk with Him when I felt that low spirit trying to set in.
Yesterday: Treadmill w/inclines for 60 minutes. Was a struggle the back was hurting but I made it. Elliptical 30 minutes was only planning to do 15 but... Squats 35, Jacks 10; plank 45 seconds and weights 5 & 8#s
Today: Gym or Wogging, 45 second plank, 40 squats, 10 jacks and whatever my strength training is for today.
Funny thing ... I'm excited about getting to my workout today. Its almost that feeling of you're not going to beat me... Change Gone Come (Sam Cooke)!!
My upper body is definitely feeling the weight lifting and push-ups. I started doing my jacks yesterday and I think my arms was like "REALLY"
you want me to flap up and down too?!!! Then I asked them to do push-ups...I got to get past struggling to do 12 knee down push-ups
by the time I hit 8 I'm really pushing to make it to 12. Forget trying a 2nd set--- not there yet.
Well I do realize I'm older and this body is trying to act that way, but I refuse to live my life according to what age dictates in some peoples eyes. But anyway...we move forward and will keep keeping on...I know change is gonna come...I feel it some days, some times, some moments. I know with the weight lifting muscle is being developed, fat is been shifted. As I continue building muscle many articles/information states it fuels fat burning more efficiently. So I will continue to lift, squat and eventually lunge.
Birthday is in : 41 days
One Year Celebration: 109 days
In all this time I've lost 15#s and dropped from a 20 bottom to a 18. 9 months equals about 1.6#s per month. Now if that's not sloooooowwwww and steady what is?
I've also gained momentum and a spirit of consistency
Went from 10-20 minutes on treadmill to an hour
Went from 10 minutes on elliptical to an hour
From a 10-15 second plank to 45 seconds
From not drinking water to drinking 60 ounces or more a day
Completed a 5K 3 weeks after major surgery within a minute of my former time 3 yrs ago.
Well I guess I need to take away 2 months for my surgery and recovery time in September and October. But I won't...
That last part was for me...so I can see that there have been accomplishments. My hard work will one day begin to pay-off like I would like it too. I shall press on through the month of March. I got a little over 2 months to finish the year out strong.
I take any suggestions, encouragement and comments as trinkets sent from above, so feel free to share.

I think it is important to remind yourself that you did have two months of physical turmoil which prevented you from working the way you wanted to. I hope you feel the difference that all of your hardwork has made in your mind, body and spirit despite the 15#s. You can do things that you could not do before and so it is worth it and it is worth a lot more than the scale says.

I love the Sam Cooke reference!! And it is so right on time. Your attitude is contagious. I sometimes feel the same way about my "old" body. I, like you, will not let my age limit what I can do or should look like.

You workout like a crazy person so I don't know why you are not losing! Now that you are tracking your food, look at it & see if you are getting enough fruits & veggies. I try to load half my plate with fruits & veggies. You got this so I know the weight will come off. Change WILL come!!!

Ranchi, Dec. 3: Jharkhand High Court today restrained the main Opposition party, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, from calling and enforcing any bandh anywhere in the state.
The court also ruled that any loss of public property or production during general strikes should be made good from the assets of the organisation or the party concerned and its office-bearers.
The landmark judgment, delivered by a bench of Chief Justice P.K.I. Balasubramanyan and Justice Tapen Sen, came in response to a criminal contempt case filed by an advocate, Shailesh Kumar Singh. The advocate was attacked by a mob in the presence of policemen during a bandh called by the JMM on August 21 while he was coming to the court.
An element of ambiguity crept in after the verdict was delivered with some wondering whether the order applied only to the JMM. However, Sohail Anwar, a senior lawyer, said: The ruling will apply to all political parties and organisations calling bandhs. The court has named the JMM as it was a party in the present case.
Senior JMM leader Stephen Marandi said the party would examine the order and, if necessary, appeal before the Supreme Court. The reaction of other political parties was mixed.
The common man greeted the order with relief. Since its formation, Jharkhand has seen an average of one bandh every month.
But a lawyer wondered how law enforcers would implement the order when banned extremist outfits, who take the lead in calling bandhs in the state, order shutdowns.
The court observed that initiating action for recovery of damages from the party or organisation calling the bandh was the clear duty of the Union and state governments, but this duty was seldom performed by them.
This direction, if implemented properly, will result in the putting down of the menace to progress and the obstruction to the forward march of this great nation, the judges said in their eight-page order.
Apart from the state, the director-general of police, Ranchi deputy commissioner, Ranchi senior superintendent of police, Sadar police station officer-in-charge and the JMMs Ranchi district president were respondents in the case.
The court observed that bandhs were resorted to with such frequency that one could roughly say that unless there was a bandh a month, some of the political parties would not be happy. During these bandhs, the court said, violence was let loose and properties of the Union government and railways were attacked.
The bench observed that railway stations were set on fire or dynamited and railway lines dismantled without any compunction. It observed that the railway authorities did not take any action against miscreants who attacked passengers and damaged property.
The court, however, dropped contempt proceedings against the JMM on the ground that the petitioner had not named any particular person. But the petitioner can initiate proceedings after the criminal prosecution is completed.

I made a cute kitty pic my cell background. A seemingly smiling kitty... As the evening progressed.... texting people and looking repeatedly at my feline picture, I caught a glimmer of a memory in this photo. An old forgotten memory.
I was probably in Jr High. Reading a random article in the local newspaper. This was long before the internet, so news required reading. It was probably only a 2X2 black & white image. It was of a baby probably around 1 year old. Crying.... Not just sobbing, but full on crying. The expression so vivid still in my mind today. The article told the story of a new mother that had killed her baby. My first thought was of the child in the photograph. I looked at it... The expression on this child's face. . I do not remember if the picture was of the actual child or a stock baby photo. The article was on Post-partum Depression, and a stock photo of any crying child would have done.
I continued to read the description of the mother being unable to deal with a continually crying infant. She described the incident of the baby's death. I can not remember if she was hitting the child with something or hitting the infant against something... My attention reverting to this image of a screaming baby while reading on. She (hit) her child repeatedly as the children's crying grey louder and more intense and her being more and more unable to deal with the crying. The line "I kept hitting him until he stopped crying.............................."
I looked at the image again, with tears in my eyes. This is what the mother saw in her child's last moments. A confused scared infant. Unable to understand what was happening, or what the outcome would be. A child used to being coddled and fed, suddenly being injured. I could scarcely fathom why this ever happened. Reasons and explanations of depression and post-partum disorders be DAMNED!!! Where were her family? Estranged or maybe passed on. Friends?? Co-Workers??? Anyone and Everyone that knew this girl???? Why was everyone so distracted by their own petty lives and selfishness. That no one saw her trouble, or took the time for her needs.
Upon reading this article (some 20 years ago now), my dislike for people and our culture in general began. Even when we see things like this happening, were content to blame psychology, or someone else or even, "Why would God allow this to happen?" Why should any "GOD" intervene, when the reason you claim "GOD" created us, was for us to create our own world. We are responsible for the horrors that plague our world... Everybody's talking and nobody's listening. Observe your friends and see. How many people are not listening to the conversation, just waiting for their turn to talk.
I spent my drive home from work in tears over this child and so many others who are suffering. I'm so very tired. I do whatever I can for those around me, I help some that I know, and I help some that I don't know. Just because It's the right thing to do. I'm so tired because I feel like I'm the only one trying.
I Long ago gave up on the idea of "God" or "Salvation".
If God is real, then he created our universe then created us and gave the earth to us to create with. And look at what we created....... We suffer because we allow suffering
If God is NOT real. Then our Earth evolved over million of years, and we trashed our luxury sweet hotel room in the equivalent of a weekend bender... We suffer because we allow suffering.
I do not give to any Charity Organizations... I know people who are broke starving. I know people who struggle to have $5 for lunch for the week. Do you have a co-worker that is way overdue for new shoes?? Is she counting pocket change because that's all she has??? Uplift the people around you, and help them uplift others. Don't ask for your $5 back.. Have them give it to someone else more in need than you both.
I know what I do for my corner of the universe (and aspire to do more) and I do not need to divulge, for that would be bragging. I do what I do for the better good. Not what "I" get out of it. It's not what I do that matters... Its what your NOT doing that matters..
When asked why you are helping.... just tell them that "The universe is being good to you today."
Buy someone you work with lunch.
Tell someone you missed them/are happy to see them.
Open your home to someone without.
Smile at children.
Know someone down???
-Listen to them instead of talking about you.
Get off the computer and spend time with family... (They NEED You)
Ok, I've ranted and you may have listened. I do not want people to make comments (other than "Amen" or "Namaste" please). Just "LIKE" this post so others may see how many others care..
