There's an argument/debate going on among those who blog on the Bible (bibliobloggers) about why women haven't been making it into the top 50 list. April DeConick has taken on the quest of promoting the work of female bloggers and is encouraging others to do the same.
I appreciate April's zeal and encourage support of all blogs that have something interesting to say.
But the popularity of my blog doesn't motivate me to write. Of course I want readers, but what I really want is to find out if anyone cares about the questions I'm asking and wants to join me in conversation. What I'm talking about matters to me. And I want to spend my time here talking with other people for whom it matters rather than having debates with other bloggers about the justice of our rankings.
While I teach and speak on diverse aspects of biblical texts, what I'm interested in right now is the literary/ideological dimensions of texts and how paying attention to those dimensions can help people talk about their own experiences. I respect people who talk about historical dimensions of the Bible, and I carry out historical work myself. But, in my blog, I'm interested in how the Bible is playing out in the public square and hoping (maybe naively) that I can get some public discussion started about the Bible as meaningful literature.

Falling back for a quiet hour
Daylight Savings Time (DST), which we recently celebrated with an hour of quiet reverie, was first proposed in 1885 by George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist who wanted more daylight after work so he could collect bugs. The idea crawled along slowly, gathering momentum like a spider scuttling down a drainpipe, and eventually garnered some pretty high-brow support. Winston Churchill even chimed in on DST's behalf, saying that it enlarges "the opportunities for the pursuit of health and happiness among the millions of people who live in this country." Germany and its WWI cohort jumped on board first, in 1916, with Great Britain and its allies following shortly after. The United States, not wanting to be left behind (or get too far ahead, depending on the season) adopted DST in 1918.
The concept has been controversial (the usual problems with money, politics, energy use, health, public safety, technology, and, of course, more money), and globally DST use has been sporadic and inconsistent. Many countries have been ticked on for a while, then been ticked off; currently it's mostly North America and Europe who jump over the sun twice a year, although there are little enclaves of DST proponents (and opponents) in other places in the world, too. Even some parts of some countries have chosen not to play along: for instance, here in the United States, Indiana has its own system (something about basketball), while in Canada, Saskatchewan said "no thanks" (politely, of course, though no one's quite sure why) and down under, much of southern Australia has clocked out (too hot).
Farm animals in DST countries have always had trouble with the semiannual time shift, with roosters, in particular, getting all ruffled up about it (they protest by crowing nonsensically at all hours of the day, like politicians).
Way out here on Route 93, our family takes the whole DST thing in stride, falling back and springing forward whenever the nice folks on TV tell us to. It doesn't really mean anything, after all; I still have to get up and go to work at a ridiculous hour in the morning, and 5:30 is still, oddly, 5:30 — no matter what the sun says. And so we gain an hour in November and lose it again in March, and at the end of the year, we come out even. Hey, in this economy, that's not a bad deal.
It was harder when the kids were little, especially in the spring when we would lose one hour due to government mandate and then lose at least another half hour the next morning because of the colossal amount of extra crowing that went on as we got ready for church. Children, like roosters, are about as flexible as fluorescent light bulbs.
But, the kids have fledged now, and it's just the two of us. Things are more serene. The refrigerator door stays closed and there are fewer piles around the house. Even the washing machine seems a bit bored.
Last Saturday evening, it was just my wife and I and one cat, on the couch all tangled up under blankets and watching a movie. Me and the cat kept dozing off. At some point, Karen got up to turn the clocks back (really, you wait until 2 a.m.?), and then she crawled back in and we did that cuddly, drowsy hour all over again. It was warm and quiet and peaceful and we knew our kids were happy and safe and even after 30 years we're still in love. I don't know, but I think when next spring comes around I may not give that hour back.

Diwali Toran
Apart from festivities and crackers, Diwali festival is also known for the decorations and renovations of one's home. The major reason behind decorating the homes on Diwali is to attract and please Goddess of wealth and beauty, Goddess Lakshmi. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi enters only in decorated, clean and sparkling home, and when she enters the door what better to welcome her than a beautiful toran? A toran is a symbolic string hung on the entrance to ward off evil and greet the almighty. It is a regular feature during festivals in India and is made of variety of colours and materials. So buying a lovely Diwali toran is a must this jubilant season.
The toran is a traditional Indian door hanging. It is typically fitted in the archways of doors. Most commonly found at the entrance of homes, this is considered an auspicious omen, and is sure to be found in virtually every doorway. The toran also makes an appealing sight for visitors who throng in large numbers to greet and gift friends and family.
The Diwali Toran can be made in several different ways to create varying effects. They can be bought readily from the market, though many still prefer making these by themselves. Different kinds of torans can be made using various objects, which can either help you create a toran which will need to be changed every few days, or one which can last you a long time. Here are some of the most popular Diwali toran varieties preferred.
Floral Toran :
Bead Toran :
Diwali Toran with Traditional Motifs :
Diwali Door Hangings are a welcoming sign of the warmth and festivity to be expected in the home. They create pleasant thoughts and emotions, and arouse love and fondness in everyone.

The silver-spotted skipper is one likely to catch your attention. It is larger than most skippers, chocolate brown with a distinctive white or silvery spot on the underside of its back wings. It also has an irregular golden band on the front wings visible both on the dorsal and ventral sides.
Like butterflies and moths it has a long tongue shaped like a drinking straw which it carries rolled up under its chin. It uses it to get nectar from deep throated flowers, although it never passes an opportunity to nectar at flat, open flowers when it has a chance.
Habitat. Open areas, gardens, roadsides. Throughout North America, although less common in the west
Season. Seen from March to November and even December in some states, but mostly through the summer months.
Flowers. Unlike most pollinators it hardly ever visits yellow flowers, preferring other colors. Milkweeds, asters, zinnias, red clover, blazing star, thistle

Double the action, double down on rules
"...no man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the Legislature is in session." - Judge Gideon J. Tucker, Final Accounting in the Estate of A.B. (1866)(click here to learn who really said that)
Waco – The Texas Legislature has moved to bring a big part of the days of good old boy politics to a close.
In six months time, gone will be the day of Judge Roy Bean's frontier, chicken-fried, corn-pone vinegaroon justice, or the fabled actions of Faulkner's legendary jurist who, informed of the latest antics of the colorful mulatto, Boone Hogganbeck, in the Yoknapatawpha County saga, remarks, "If that ain't again no law, it ought'a be..."
The trial lawyers are taking over the fabled justice courts of Texas.
We get the news in letters of intent and resumés submitted by trial lawyers vying to be appointed to fill the unexpired portion of the final term of the Hon. Billy Martin, Precinct One Justice of the Peace.(click here for an update)
According to one candidate, Joshua S. Tetens, the legislators have made sure to move toward a "more formal courtroom decorum" in the Justice Courts – the venues where autopsies are ordered for those who pass in suspicious, unattended, or accidental ways, evictions are ordered, traffic tickets adjudicated, and warrants of search and arrest are approved following the presentation of affidavits of probable cause.
To sweeten the pot for the lawyers, the "amount in controversy" in suits of equity has been increased from $5,000 to $10,000.
But it's in the rules – the new way of it all – that there is proof in the pudding.
Said the Honorable Denton B. Lessman, a Waco attorney who wants to be appointed, and who holds a municipal judgeship in the Falls County seat of Marlin, for the first time since that same august body passed the Small Claims Act of 1953, there will be a new application of the rules of evidence and the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Tut tut. Imagine that.
"These rules are very extensive and complicated...Historically, discovery matters could be handled very informally. Now, the Justice will be required to know the rules..."(click here for a previous report)
All that and a bag of chips, dear hearts.
According to Mr. Joshua S. Tetens, no more will the suits heard in Justice Court be known as "small claims."
No way. No small potatoes in our future.
There will be some changes made. From now on, it's all big deals.
Small claims suits will now be called "justice suits," full dress actions replete with motions, orders and side bar, pre-trial conferences in which it will be humbly shown unto the Court that thus and so is right and proper and other words to the effect thereunto appertaining, all decisions and interim rulings, no doubt, to be made at a glacial pace, in the most complicated fashion possible. We're talking about writs of hocus locus, petitions of panjandrum, over here.
Then there is Joel Douglas Froneberger, Esq. You will remember Mr. Froneberger. According to his resumé, he is the self same attorney who "discovered that convicted felons were practicing medicine in Texas without reporting their criminal histories to the Texas Board of Medical Examiners.
"CBS 11 TV Dallas did extensive coverage of my story resulting in sweeping laws protecting the consumers/patients and requiring health care professionals for the first time in Texas to be fingerprinted."
There you have it. The felons can keep on sawboning their way to fame and fortune, no problem. They just have to submit their fingerprints to the board of examiners, as if they weren't already on the booking cards the day they got busted. Ah, yes.(click here for a previous report)
Sounds like the tale "little big man" told on himself – the one where one drunk pointed out to another that in the dregs of the whiskey barrel, Jack had inserted some snake heads – just for the flavor, no doubt – and the fight was on.
We all know what Clarence Darrow said about going to court. The famed Chicago barrister once said you could get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich – for being a ham sandwich, no doubt.
Someone else – maybe it was one of the lawyers who went to the federal penitentiary in the aftermath of the Watergate mess – said if you ever have to walk into the courtroom, you've already lost.
That's right up there with what Attorney General John Mitchell said.
"Admit nothing."
Then he stuck that pipe back in his mouth, and stalked away to the limousine that would eventually take him to prison.
Everyone seemed to adhere to conventional wisdom at the time. It was nothing any other President and all his men had not done in the murky past. Could be some truth to that. Those who weren't soldiers or sailors were lawyers – or both.
The truth is, just about every judge in the state gets his job through appointment.
His predecessor runs for a final term, one the finality of which he does not clue in the public, serves a couple of years, then suddenly realizes he's wanted at the ranch where he must put his affairs of the heart in order – and other words to that effect.
That's when he suddenly remembers another good old boy with whom he went through law school, practiced with, or whose dear old daddy was a former partner, and urges the Commissioners Court or the Governor to make that critical appointment.
In every Court, they do it the same.
No matter if it's the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court, the local Justice of the Peace, or the District Courts – the "trial Courts of original jurisdiction" - our judges make the same stab at success in each election cycle.
But it doesn't end there.
You see, it takes money to get yourself elected to any office, and being a judge is no different.
Fund raising?
The managing general partners of law firms whose associates practice in courts high and low throughout the Lone Star State receive these late evening phone calls from judges seeking re-election – as a matter of routine.
As they know, he's up for the office, and he's going to stay on, but then, there's the matter of money.
He's got them down for so much. What can be done?
That's where the negotiations take place. So much paid before the primary, so much before the general election, and then there's the all-important transition period, etc., etc.
When he suddenly learns he's got to get back to kith and kin, hearth and home – then what?
He donates his campaign funds to the one he got appointed to take his place.
Such a deal. Does it get any better?
We're talking appointments, here, appointments as masters at chancery, attorneys ad litem, and the staple of any nutritious legal career, ham and egging those prone to plead out into making that all-important admission of guilt and collecting that fee at the clerk's office.
Ho hum. Stay out of that court room, hoss. Those old lawyers are right. "There's no justice, in or out of court," said Mr. Darrow.

In a few days a new year will arrive. Time to look back over the old one. What kind of year has 2012 been? It's hard to say. The pluses came with minuses and the minuses came with pluses.
A lot of fine things happened with my writing. The Golem's Latkes won a National Jewish Book award. I'm very proud of the three books I published in 2012. Jack and the Giant Barbecue was loads of fun to write, especially at the end when illustrator John Manders and I collaborated on fine-tuning the text. John had so many good ideas. I crack up every time I read it. Moby Dick came out in the early fall. That book takes my breath away every time I open it. It began as a joke, but by the time we finished, illustrator Andrew Glass and I had given it every ounce of imagination and talent we had.
Then there was Hiss-s-s! That's a product of my effort to break out of picture books and try some new genres. Hiss-s-s-s! is a middle-grade novel about a boy who wants a pet snake and the complications that arise when he gets one. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Sometimes, when I'm alone, I will open to my favorite parts and read them aloud to myself. It always makes me laugh, even though I know all the jokes. That's good writing when you can say that!
I also finished Ghostboarders, my first effort at a YA. My agent Jennifer was extremely excited about it. It went out to editors in December. Jenn expects to start getting responses after the New Year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We shall see.
On the other hand, 2013 saw a further shrinking of the picture book market and the almost total extinction of folktale retelling. Is there anything in the pipeline? Not that I can see. I only have one book in the works right now. A lot is riding on Ghostboarders. My hope is that it will be a new direction for my writing. My fear is that it might be a dead end.
All in all, I'm a better writer than I've ever been. Yet I look out on a shrinking market where the kind of writing I love to do is becoming extinct. Reinventing yourself isn't easy, especially when you like whom you are. What to do?
It's the same with school visits. They are way, way down. All my writer/artist friends tell me the same. It isn't surprising, given the effects of Race For The Top/No Child Left Behind and shrinking school budgets. What disturbs me most is that trained, certified librarians are becoming a rare species. The librarian is always the key person in arranging an author visit. The librarian knows the books and prepares the children. Teachers, parents, and principals—no matter how well-intentioned—can't do it. They don't know the books and they don't have the time. It used to be that librarians knew the books they wanted. They had a list, even if they didn't have the money to purchase them. Every time a few dollars came in, either as a grant, gift, or donation, the librarian would order off her list of books she wanted. Without the librarian, there isn't even a list. That's devastating for the whole children's publishing industry.
On the other hand, the visits I have done this year were memorable. I loved the Dalton School on Manhattan's Upper East Side. I've visited public and parochial schools in and around Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in the spring and just before the holidays. What a good time I had! Each day was a joy. There's a chance I may be back this coming spring. I hope it happens. I can't wait.
The icing on the cake was my trip to Turkey. Doris and I had an astonishing time. I loved the country, the people, its rich culture and ancient history. We weren't there long enough. I'd go back in a flash.
No international trips are scheduled for 2013. I am going to Arkansas in the spring. I am SO looking forward to it. I've never been in Arkansas. Now I'll be able to say I've been in 49 of the 50 states. The only one left is Delaware.
My 50th high school reunion is coming up in June. I was part of the class of 1963. Back then, the question I was asking myself was, "What do you want to do with your life?"
Fifty years later, I'm still asking myself the same question.
Happy New Year!

He served as the business and brand manager for a period of 6 months.
Fierce Cosmetics
Full Company Launch
Objective: To create a current, visual site that creates a profit and attract new clients. The client also needed their business entity filed, a product developed, social media operated and visuals created.
Challenge: The client just had the idea of operating their own cosmetics and skin care company. The Visionary King knew that the entire company would have to be created from scratch.
Solution: The Visionary King constructed a plan that would cover every basis of launching this startup business for the client. We started with the filing of the business as well as obtaining an EIN # from the IRS. After all business proceedings were done, we moved into the creating of the website and securing of a manufacturer. The last step was the developing of the packaging, product photoshoot, creation of visuals, launch of the website and securement of a physical location (office space).

'Gestures for an occasion' will take place 24 April and, as with the previous two events, doors will open at 18h and we will begin our conversation around 19h.
For this open house, we've invited the artists who participated in the first two events to join us again. We will reflect on the conversations and exchanges of the first two events, thinking forward from the questions they posed.
This Open House is titled with 'occasion' in order to highlight the reoccurring social intimacy that characterises all the open houses: occasionally we get together, and when we do it is a bit of an occasion.
'Occasion' suggests something special and yet its eventfulness is exists in the everyday of our relationships with one another. An occasion is particular, to a time and to a place. It is created by the collectively decision to hold an event as important. And yet, its importance is more ordinary then an EVENT. Things that are occasional repeat, bringing us back together differently and the same.
We invite you to come think about the sense of occasion we create in our conversations and exchanges with one another. And, as ever, we invite you digress from the intended sense of occasion as much or as little as you'd like.
Doors open at 6pm. 1A2, Gaunson House, Markfield Road, N15 4QQ
Entry is free. Please RSVP to email@example.com
Updates on the facebook event page.
This season focuses on cross-art form collaborative practices and processes. 'gestures for exchange' is one of three events, each addressing a different approach to notions of collaborative exchange.
If you can attend all three events, please do. We look forward to seeing how our discussions progress over the season.
The schedule for the entire season is:
Open House 20/03: 'gestures for conversations'
Open House 03/04: 'gestures for exchange'
Open House 24/04: 'gestures for an occasion'

Well, I'm feeling much better this morning! It felt good to let it all out yesterday, tears and tears and more tears. I have just felt so out of sorts since I quit smoking, and not sleeping so well. So I think all of that just built up inside me and I needed to release it! I got a good night sleep! I knew I wouldn't smoke yesterday, I was just getting exhausted listening to my addict mind, but this is the first time I quit and last more then a day, so no way am I ever going to let myself go through this again! And I tell myself " You would rather go through this now, then go through something much worse from smoking later in life " " So suck it up and keep moving forward "
So I want to say thank you to all for the continued support! Without you all it would be close to impossible for me! With a lot of prayer and your support I am doing this! Well I am off to get my photo done for my passport renewal! Enjoy the day all! hugs!

I had no idea how much the old belief system that I had from childhood carried so much weight in how I was currently living my life. My limiting beliefs were running the show and automatically making all the decisions for me without me even realizing or aware of it. I knew that I was stuck, but I didn't how to get unstuck.
Steve helped facilitate the awareness of where my old beliefs came from. I didn't even know I had a belief that didn't serve me. This has created a huge impact in my life. It has made me realize why certain things in my life were not working and why parts of my life felt so heavy and hard. During our session, we destroyed an old belief that carried with me from my childhood and created a new belief that feels good with who I am becoming and with what I want to create in my life.
"I receive love and attention from myself" is exactly the new belief that will help love myself more and guide me in living a life that feels more free and empowering to my soul.
Crying on a coaching call is usually a great sign that something powerful was revealed. It was such a real aha moment to realize that all my actions had so much to do with trying to get attention and love from other people. Once I realized that I felt more empowered to make decisions based on my new belief. I felt a sense of relief that my old belief didn't have to run the show anymore. I felt better about myself and any future decisions from my new belief. I felt more love for myself. I also felt embarrassed on what this belief created in my life. But Steve told me not to judge it and love it. Once I did that, I came to accepting that part of myself too. Then from that place, I was able to just really appreciate and be thankful for this new powerful belief that will I now operate under and be part of the life I want to create the life I know. That felt good!
When something heavy is lifted off me and all of a sudden, I feel lighter. I usually feel myself shining brighter from within. As another layer of myself is being revealed to my true essence. It felt like I had a breakthrough moment when I realized that most of my life, I was making decisions or not making certain decisions based on getting attention and love from other people. To become aware of where that stems from is also super liberating and freeing. Freeing because I know have the power to change how I operate in the world that will serve me in the highest of way vs. from a place of lower vibration, neediness, and my lower self.
The shift was realizing that I didn't need anything outside of myself to change the way I feel. I can totally go within to find all that I seek. If only I had this information when I was younger, my life would have turned out very different. Even so, it was all a perfect process. It's never too late. 🙂
I just want to add that you have a gift Steve to get to people's core wounds and create something beautiful out of it. You do that by genuinely caring about the person you are talking to and shifting their reality to something that will be the most serving to them moving their life forward in the best way possible. What I shared here was just from one conversation I had with you. Since I had many conversations with you, you have given me the gift of awareness and the power to change it.
Our powerful sessions created so many shifts in me. These shifts feel super exciting to live life from this perspective or a different lens. Life starts to flow a lot more and things just becomes easier when you look at life and yourself in a fresh new way. I will always be super grateful to you Steve. Thank you.

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I would have never considered myself 'girly' growing up. I was always in t-shirts and biker shorts (Not much has changed now…) and my mom had to force me into wearing dresses. I mean, the poor women had to force me to even wear shoes.
Funny story, when I was little, people always thought I was a boy. Yes, I had that no-no bowl cut and I guess I just looked like a little boy. I loved playing in the mud, walking around barefoot, and finding rocks and bugs. Gag alert: I used to put frogs in my pockets when I played outside and my mom would find them in the dryer after she washed my clothes. Poor froggies.
So (as you can imagine) the idea of all of these feminine and floral trends did not catch my interest at all. But that was until I discovered the right way to wear them.
Let me tell you now, almost every time I wear a dress, I have sneakers on with it. I'm not sure if it's my little tomboy touch I like to put on it, but sneaks are always my go-to when it comes to styling dresses. This is the easiest + comfiest way to tone down the girly-vibe. You could rock any dress with a pair of sneaks, but my favorite is to do the opposite and wear a pair of floral sneakers with a simple dress.
The ones I have on are from H&M and they were a steal. You can shop them below with the others, but these were my favorite because of how subtle the floral designs were and how similar they felt to my Adidas Superstars. And you guys know that I wear those with EVERYTHING.
Also, when wearing florals I like to keep it simple and subtle. I very rarely will wear bright and loud florals. I don't find anything wrong with it, at all! But, I wouldn't wear it.
I like to keep it extremely simple. This dress I'm wearing is from Forever 21 and it is the most perfect amount of flower power. These eyelet style dresses are a Summer must-have and they are relatively easy to find. Retailers like Forever 21, Zara, H&M, and Revolve carry a number of these style dresses and they are a great way to wear your florals on the down low.
This one paired perfectly with the sneakers I had picked out and it actually turned out more feminine than I was going for. But I love it!
Hmm, don't knock it till you try it right!?
Also, have you noticed how badass my photographer is!? Check his website out here!
I hope you loved this look just as much as I did!
What's your favorite way to wear florals!? Let me know in the comments below!
Talk to you soon! xx (P.S. How do we love my new signature!?)
These are great ideas! I love that summer is coming up but I always run out of ideas for my florals. Especially obsessed with your white dress!! Too cute
I love florals! I don't think I could pull off the bold prints, so I put those on my daughter, haha! Toddlers look cute in anything! I do love your dress and LOVE the idea of florals on sneakers!
i LOVE the look of sundresses with tennis shoes! I think it's so girly and cute but also comfy! These pictures of you are darling!
I'm with you.. I have never really felt like 'me' all decked out in florals. I like to wear them like you just did… casual and sutble.
I really love florals … but on other people! Haha I have tried to wear it but not good! I really do love he hint of floral ahoes! Great idea!
Thanks Tif! Haha right! That comment just made me actually laugh out loud!
I love how you sneak in your florals! Such a pretty dress also. I was also (and still am) a tomboy. I feel this post so hard, lol!
Thanks Sam! Haha, yes I'm still a tomboy who feels like she's playing dress up every time I wear something girly! Lol!
I love that dress it's absolutely adorable! 🙂
Thank you so much Veronica!
LOVE IT ALLLLL!!!! Photographs are bomb & so is the new sig 🔥

On the afternoon of June 3rd, 1918, a wave of German infantryman advanced across the wheatfield towards the marines. The marines didn't have time to dig proper trenches and instead fought from foxholes. Neither did they have machineguns or artillery - their supply train had not yet caught up with their hasty movements, and the more mobile heavy weapons had been sent to the nearby battle of Chateau-Thierry where they played a part in halting the Germans there.
From the hasty defences the well trained Marines gunned down the attacking Germans in a close fought battle, and the Germans eventually retreated to the safety of the wood. As history had it, that defensive line happened to be the furthest ever advance of the German army into France in World War 1.
That night, a French column entered the town, warning the defenders of large numbers of enemy troops converging on the area, and ordered the marines to fall back. That suggestion was met with the famous reply, "Retreat? Hell, we just got here.". The marines worked hard on improving their position as they waited for the next German assault.
…which did not materialise. The Germans seemed to have disappeared. What were they up to, in the dark wood…

Klaus Jeckel (105) participates in ARC for the 15th time
He is passionate about ACR and loves all about the race – but what makes him com back again again is the atmosphere at the camp "Normally whan you compete in a cross-country race in Europe, you arrive, get your bip, race and then go home. Here it is different. You get to talk to people and there is a very special atmosphere at the camp. Its very unique"
Klaus Jeckel had a very good race today and came in as number 8 today. His time was 4:24:20. "I am in a good shape but I did not know that I did so well. I am very surprised.
I started out taking it easy at the race because I wanted to save my energy for later. And it helped. But after the 'killer hill' I started getting faster and faster – and I kept catching up the other participants. It was a great feeling. I even cought up Jørgen Leander from Greenland. I never expected this to happen. Normally he is much faster than me. So I am feeling great"

Three suspected swine flu cases in Abohar
As many as three people have been reported to be suffering from swine flu at Abohar, a subdivision of Fazilka district.punjab Updated: Feb 14, 2015 23:01 IST
As many as three people have been reported to be suffering from swine flu at Abohar, a subdivision of Fazilka district.
As per information, Subhash, a resident of South Avenue, Sangeeta of the Circular Road and Gaurav Juneja of Nai Abadi had been showing partial symptoms of the flu. Gaurav is currently under treatment at Ludhiana.
40-year-old Harjit Singh, a resident of Gda Doab village in Abohar, who died on Friday, was admitted to the hospital as a suspected swine flu case but his blood sample report from the PGI, Chandigarh, made it clear that he was not suffering from swine flu.
Baljeet Singh, civil surgeon, Fazilka, also claimed that Harjit had not died due to swine flu rather due to some other disease.
Two days ago, his family had got him discharged from the hospital and had started treatment from a private doctor, claimed the civil surgeon.
The civil surgeon said the administration has made all the arrangements to deal with the swine flu and there was no need to panic.
Anyone having symptoms of swine flu should reach the hospital at the earliest, he said. In the meantime, eleven teams of the health department made a survey of various areas and examined the people.

I attended: University of Utah
What I love about Highland High: I love the diversity of all who are part of the Ram Fam and the rich tradition.
Despite being a proud Nevadan, I find myself often calling Utah home. I obtained my degree in journalism and was a member of the Women's Track/Cross Country Team for the University of Utah. As a proud alumna, I still am actively involved towards student-athlete development. Prior to teaching, I covered college football for ESPN and professional basketball for the NBA as a broadcast journalist. I still find myself working as a freelance journalist. Family is everything in my eyes and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Sports, music, writing and tasting new foods are some of my passions. My own personal journey helped influence my career change to teaching and coaching to inspire others that you can be a success, no matter the circumstances. Go Rams!

Rapid technological advancements, Internet of Things (IoT), amendments in laws, the growing demand for UAVs in commercial application, and the availability of low-cost UAVs are some of the driving factors for the airborne surveillance market, while air traffic management poses a challenge for this market.
Major reason behind the growth of unmanned systems is because of its lower cost, rapid technological advancements, and relaxation in regulations in different countries. This has given rise to the use of UAVs in the commercial sector. Increased funding from various investors and players motivate the companies to manufacture innovative solutions for the UAV industry, creating various opportunities in the market.
Relaxation in laws is one of the major driving factors for the growth of commercial application. In recent years, many amendments in laws and regulations for drone usage have been observed, which have motivated end-users to increase the use of drones. For instance, the flight altitude of drones has been increased from 100 feet to 400 feet, and the flight speed has been modified from 80 mph to 100 mph by FAA (US); the Government of Canada has made major amendments in the existing laws such as increasing the weight of drones from 250 g to 1 kg.

Tom Otterness: Life Underground
On View November 1, 1995 – September 30, 1996
Grace Glueck from The New York Times described Visionary by Tom Otterness (b.1952, Wichita, KS) as "a mock lamppost topped by a group of small figures raising a globe, in turn surmounted by a buxom woman who has removed her head and holds it in her hands. A nice poke at the banality of most public monuments, it's the kind of thing MetroTech needs more of."

The block has two big advantages for me:
If I need the top slide, it is possible to mount it temporary on the rear of the cross slide and swap the Tripan qctp over:
The long nut that holds the qctp in place has also a use - It is a nice rigid hardpoint to clamp an indictor to:
The position of the Tripan qctp is locked in position with a notched plate, that is screwed and pinned in place:
An argument against such a fixed block instead of the compound is threading, you cant feed along the edge of the thread, like you would with a compound swung around half the included angle of the thread.
But as I do mainly threads with smaller pitches up to 2mm it is not a huge deal for me - And if I have to do some heavy threading, I can still drop the compound back on.
An example of a 10x1mm fine thread in 42CrMoS4 steel with straight infeed:

One of the many fantastic things about diving on Norman Reef is that you can get close to Humphead Maori Wrasse. On most dives, there was one or more Wrasse swimming around at the back of the boat. The Wrasse are incredibly curious and get real close to check you out. If you hold your arm out and open your hand some of the Wrasse will push their lips into your hand, they have the softest lips.
Make sure you're not wearing gloves. And be careful at the back of the boat, it's easy to get distracted and before you know it, you could be surfacing under the boat.

La conferencia TED de este sábado corre a cargo de Jon Bowers y se titula We should aim for perfection — and stop fearing failure, que podría traducirse como "Deberíamos aspirar a la perfección y dejar de temer al fracaso".
We should aim for perfection — and stop fearing failure (by Jon Bowers)
Sometimes trying your best isn't enough; when the situation demands it, you need to be perfect. For Jon Bowers, who runs a training facility for professional delivery drivers, the stakes are high -- 100 people in the US die every day in car accidents -- and it's perfection, or "a willingness to do what is difficult to achieve what is right," that he looks to achieve. He explains why we should all be equally diligent about striving toward perfection in everything we do, even if it means failing along the way.
This talk was presented at a TED Institute event given in partnership with UPS. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page. Read more about the TED Institute.

A headstone resembling Winnie The Pooh character Tigger will be a lasting memorial for a 'bouncy' five-week-old baby who died from bronchial pneumonia.
The colourful graveside tribute to Dylan Killick was bought by mum Elizabeth after she received an out-of-court settlement of £29,000 following her son's death in December 2011.
Dylan died within days of contracting the illness despite the frantic efforts of his parents and medics to save him. An inquest into his death heard that had his condition been diagnosed earlier it could have been successfully treated with antibiotics.
Although the family were left with more questions as to why their son was not saved, they are now just pleased they can give him a lovely final resting place.
Elizabeth (27) who found the headstone on the internet, said: "He was a bouncy baby. He had that personality already. So when I found this headstone I knew that's the one I wanted.
"It was very emotional to know he finally had a pretty resting place now.
"They say it gets easier. The pain doesn't get easier but you learn how to deal with it.
"I've got my children so they help me along and I've got a good family."
The headstone cost £3,500 and was erected in Fletton Cemetery at the start of month, and Elizabeth's other four children Daisy (7), Poppy (5), Dylan's twin-sister Rosey (4) and Riley (2) have all been able to visit their brother's grave.
Dylan's grandmother Iris Killick (64) added: "It took five months to make it as it had to be made from scratch. Dylan's is a unique design. It looks absolutely gorgeous."
The Killick family sued Dr MJ Mehta - the GP who had seen Dylan just before his death - and received £29,000 in compensation.
Following the inquest into Dylan's death in April 2012, Coroner Gordon Ryall recorded a verdict of death by natural causes but said that medics involved in Dylan's care would feel that "an opportunity to treat him had been lost."

''Dear Wani,
May I have the soft copy of your reflective journal? It's brilliantly written and comes as a very pleasant surprise for me as your teacher. Perhaps it's because you're so soft-spoken (well, at least most of the time) and I had no idea of the ability you have within you.
Anyway, your journal is focused, well-organized and touches on so many relevant issues. I would love to have the soft copy of your work as a reference for future students and as a way to remember a good student by the name of Wani. (:''

"All borders are explanations of identity. We construct borders, literally and figuratively, to fortify our sense of who we are; and we cross them in search of who we might become. They are philosophies of space, credibility contests, latitudes of neurosis, signatures to the social contract, soothing containments, scars."
Frances Stonor Saunder [LRB]
British Journalist and Historian
This month we're re-visiting a perennial hot topic in ELT, which is, Native (NESTs) vs Non-Native English Speaking Teachers (NNESTs). I think March is a good month for this debate as it was originally dedicated to Mars, who was the god of war, competition, and glory. The main issue that we come across is that NNESTs are not seen as competitive on the global market as NESTs. I want to address why that is, and also why the discourse around "Native Speakerism" and authenticity have failed to make any headway– We see the same re-hashing of why one is better than the other and vice versa, without any concrete resolution. We're not going to resolve this here (or any time soon) but a large part of that is because the debate has thus far been relatively insular and myopic. That is to say, we've run this idea through the same channels and with the same voices.
This isn't an issue specific to ELT though. It's part of a broader anthropology of education and that in itself really resists the kinds of technicalities we as English professionals want to impose on the subject in terms of skill sets and who brings what to the table. So, perhaps the conversation continues to be re-hashed because it hasn't been framed correctly. The competition between NEST and NNEST isn't a competition of competing skill sets but the commodification of the western teacher (who is generally speaking, white and Commonwealth). We should consider that language schools (and other LTOs) and their clients aren't paying for skill, they are paying for an authentic experience, and for many of them a white teacher, a native speaker, is the closest they will come to experiencing the Western world. So instead of an evaluation of of who is a better model for pronunciation or has more extensive knowledge of phrasal verbs, we should be looking at this debate from an interdisciplinary perspective. This issue encompasses the philosophy of aesthetics, i.e. what an English teacher should look like and what they should sound like and also, the cult of fetish that has grown up in the industry around these ideals. Both of these must be explored through the legacy and lens of post-colonialism, history, and the performance of identity.
In this article, I'm going to focus on the NNEST issue as it relates to Europe rather than Asia. Mainly because Europe is really the genesis of this debate yet most of the attention has been focused on European NNESTs struggling to gain access to Asian (including Middle Eastern) markets than vice versa. Also the most prominent voices of the TEFL equality movement are coming from European/EU Academics and teachers at the moment. TEFL Equity Advocates (TEA) is one of the organisations at the forefront of the NNEST equality movement. And while their work is respectable, I find it slightly problematic in the global discourse given that despite their "Non-native" status, the are privileged in the EU/EEA in terms of priority in employment .
On Competition
Everything starts with Empire. Mars was a major figure in the Roman Empire (especially in the Western regions) and rather than being an agent of destruction, he was seen as a stabilising force, bringing peace and stability through conflict. (Think Orwell, "War is Peace.") And so the idea of competition as an exercise of peace in Europe and the West is very much ingrained in western narratives. In the West, competition is still considered as a good thing. The evolution of European politics, society, and economics has been a game of one-upmanship for centuries. This narrative though is seemingly at odds with those in the East, which generally place a much higher value on harmony. Unsurprisingly, Asia seems to be the major bone of contention for NNESTs in terms of competitiveness.
"To give just one example, many countries have strict visa restriction whereby only citizens of 7 countries are classified as NES: the US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Such visa restrictions legitimize native speakerism and racism, giving the public and the ELT community an impression that discrimination is legal and thus acceptable. They also legitimize the false belief that English is primarily spoken in those 7 Inner Circle countries. That it is their English that NNES students and teachers should imitate. Mind you, there are over 50 countries where English is the official language, and the country with most English speakers in the world is not the US, but India. While on the other hand, only about 5% of South Africa's population are NES."
-TEA Website (link to full article)
The author here is completely correct. Visa restrictions by nationality are completely superficial and do little arbitrate the calibre of those teachers who are allowed in. What this fails to take into account is that both NESTs from the United States and Commonwealth countries are essentially locked out of the EU labour market as well despite being native speakers. By law, a company must be able to justify hiring a foreigner over a citizen/national of that country and then the whole of the EU. There are ways around this of course, but most companies don't want to bother with the paperwork involved or the hefty sponsorship fees. Have a look on any Tefl job board advertising positions in Europe and you'll see "EU Nationals perferred" or "We can only accept applications from those with the right to work in the EU." That right to work requires a job offer, which is a nice little catch-22 to get around the fact that they simply will not hire a non-EU citizen. So while I sympathise with the plight of the NNEST trying to find work abroad, they too must acknowledge that they are privileged in many ways. I am, myself, a native speaker, with a Masters Degree, CELTA, and almost 10 years experience in teaching. Yet an NNEST from Italy or the Czech Republic would be given first consideration for a teaching job in the EU since I hold an American passport. If European NNESTs want to have a moral standing in this debate they should be willing to fight against the restrictive labour laws in their own backyard. We should remember that empires, both ancient and modern, don't fall because of external competition; they usually collapse under the weight of their own moral failings.
On Nativity
What constitutes nativity and specifically the performance of being native is part of a very extensive and nuanced narrative of identity for almost a millennia. The native has always been contrasted against mainstream society as the "exotic other" and in times of empire that otherness was always fetishised. By fetishised I mean the fantasy that the native embodies, e.g. the idea of the noble savage, whose curious yet primitive ways are mythically and morally superior to and uncorrupted by the mainstream/dominant civilization. This too applies to our industry. The white male is automatically perceived as a more authentic choice for an English teacher, and for us teachers it is a mystery as to why that is considering there are just as many qualified teachers who are of colour, who are female, and who are LGBT. The irony here is that in previous eras, the native was always brown-skinned and dark haired under the auspice of a white hegemony whereas now it's an Aryan aesthetic that is very much sought after in predominately 'coloured' societies. Anyone that has lived as an ethnic minority anywhere, of any colour, can attest to this idea that your otherness imbues you with some kind of innate talent and to make that judgement based on a visual aesthetic is specious. The Native English teacher of today has become a commodity to be fetishised over and as much as we can see it as a position of privilege, it's still racism.
English is a global and inclusive language, our industry should be too.
We have the responsibility to use our privilege in our classrooms, in our schools, in our adopted homes, and in our own countries to challenge perceptions, break down legal barriers, and educate our learners about the diversity of English.

Europe is increasingly seeing the effects of global warming in more frequent extreme weather, changing ecosystems and rising economic and health costs, according to a report the European Environment Agency published Jan. 25.
Global warming's greatest effects are being felt in Europe's Mediterranean regions, with more heat waves, droughts and forest fires, declining crop yields and higher heat-related premature mortality, the report said.
In addition, coastal areas and floodplains in western Europe are suffering more flooding, and Alpine regions are seeing shrinking glaciers, the upward migration of plants and animals, and reduced revenues from ski tourism because of decreasing snow cover and earlier melting of snow.
Economic costs from "climate-related extreme events" in the 28 European Union countries and non-EU states Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway have amounted to 400 billion euros ($430 billion) since 1980, according to the report.
"European land temperatures in the decade 2006–2015 were around 1.5 °C [2.7 degrees Fahrenheit] warmer than the pre-;industrial level, and they are projected to continue increasing by more than the global average temperature increase," said the report. "Europe has experienced several extreme summer heat waves since 2003, which have led to high mortality and economic impacts. Heat waves of a similar or larger magnitude are projected to occur as often as every two years in the second half of the 21st century under a high emissions scenario. The impacts will be particularly strong in southern Europe."
The report showed the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and "ensuring that we have the right adaptation strategies and policies in place to reduce the risks from current and project climate extremes," EEA Executive Director Hans Bruyninckx said.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, published a climate adaptation strategy in 2013 that called on EU countries to prepare national adaptation plans, and said if national plans were not in place by 2017, or if the plans were insufficient, legislation could be proposed to make the drawing up of national strategies mandatory.
In 2013, the commission said 15 EU countries had national adaptation strategies, most of which were in preliminary form.
As of May 2016, this number had risen to 20, with Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg and Slovenia still lacking a plan, according to the EEA report.
The commission is expected to publish an evaluation of its 2013 climate adaptation strategy, including possible legislative measures on planning for the impacts of climate change, during the second half of 2017.
The EEA report on the impacts of climate change in Europe is the fourth in a series of reports published every four years.
