On 29 August 2016, on Janmashtami, Ruhana Khanna, who played child Gangaa, made her comeback as Gangaa and Sagar's daughter Krishna, eight months after being replaced by Aditi Sharma as grown up Gangaa.[3]
On January 16, 2017, the show was revamped; the storyline and the entire cast including lead Vishal Vashishtha, who played the grown up Sagar, except Aditi Sharma who continued to play the role of Gangaa, changed. Shakti Anand was the new lead as Shiv opposite Sharma. The other actors left the show.[4] In October 2018 the show aired on Zee World
Season 1Edit
The show revolves around a young child named Gangaa (Ruhana Khanna), who becomes a widow on the same day as her marriage when her husband and her father Varun Shukla (Raj Singh Verma), with whom she was very close, are killed in a riot in Varanasi. The show follows her struggle for her right to live happily, opposing the restrictions placed upon widows by society despite being at an age at which she did not know the meaning of marriage. She is adopted by Advocate Niranjan Chaturvedi (Hiten Tejwani) and his wife Madhvi (Gungun Uprari), who soon treat her like their own daughter and like their two other children Pulkit (Vedant Sawant) and Sagar (Swar Hingonia), despite the objection of Niranjan's mother, Kanta / Ammaji (Sushmita Mukherjee). Gangaa is raised by Ammaji who treated her like a widowed servant although she is also an ophan. Gangaa kis taught the ways a widow should live, much to her dislike. But she still loves Ammaji and never disobeyed her.
The story develops Gangaa's and Sagar's childhood friendship. One day, Sagar had to apply vermilion to Gangaa's forehead to save his life because he had a hole in his heart. Sagar and Gangaa are separated when Sagar moves to London to study in a boarding school. This was planned by Madhvi and Ammaji, who thought Sagar would be away from them if he continues living with Gangaa.
Season 2Edit
10 years laterEdit
Gangaa (Aditi Sharma) has grown up into a young adult and has been waiting for Sagar. Her love for him is implacable as she hides and adores vermilion, believing she is fulfilling her duty as Sagar's wife. Gangaa has always loved Sagar.
As Gangaa expresses her love for Sagar (Vishal Vashishtha), she is shocked to find he loves Janvi (Panchi Bora), who studied with Sagar in London . Gangaa is heartbroken. Slowly Sagar cares for her and finally he realises he loves Gangaa but it was too late as Janvi and Sagar had done roka and Gangaa could not accept Sagar's love. Sagar expresses his love by applying vermilion to her forehead. His family opposes this relationship because Gangaa is a widow whom they cannot let their son marry. Frustrated, Sagar on holiday puppies colour to Gangaa, saying that she is no more a widow and decides to marry Gangaa in court and then leave for Delhi. Meanwhile, Niranjan's eldest son, Pulkit (Abhishek Tewari) decides to have his share of property and splits the house into two. Niranjan cannot tolerate this and suffers a heart attack. He pleads with Gangaa to return Sagar to him. Gangaa agrees to give him his son. Sagar listens to this; he is angry because he thinks Gangaa used him and threw him away like a toy. Frustrated, Sagar marries Janvi; Gangaa tried to stop him but he does not listen to her. At night, Sagar realises he had done wrong but Gangaa did not accept her love because Sagar was married. Gangaa then meets a lawyer named Palash (Sarwar Ahuja) and decides to join an internship under him. Meanwhile, Sagar and Janvi relationship gets worse because he does not love her. Palash develops feelings for Gangaa and by Sagar's insistence he takes Gangaa to a shop to select bridal clothes for her and then tells her he loves her and his mother wants her to be her Daughter-in-law(DIL). Gangaa is shocked and says she cannot because she still loves Sagar. Meanwhile, Yash (Akash Gill) insists Janvi to take more drugs, which result to her death. Afraid, Yash hangs Janvi's body from a ceiling fan to make it look like a suicide, and leaves a suicide note written by Janvi under Yash's pressure that Sagar is responsible for her death. Gangaa arrives home and Sagar hugs her and cries his heart out. The police come and find the letter and arrest the whole family except Gangaa.
Gangaa pleads with Palash to take Sagar's case; he asks him some questions and she says she loves Sagar and cannot live without him. Palash takes up the case and the family is bailed out except Sagar. As the case proceeds, Palash becomes negative and thinks of letting Sagar stay in jail so he and Gangaa could marry, so he starts hiding evidence. Gangaa and Sagar escape a witness from Palash's hands and he is sentenced to two years in jail. Sagar returns home after many problems; Ammaji agrees to Sagar and Gangaa's marriage but Prabha Mami mixes something into a drink and Sagar drinks it. Sagar, in a drunken state, comes very close to Gangaa. The next morning Sagar does not remember anything that happens between him and Gangaa. The marriage day comes; while taking the pheras, Gangaa collapses and it is revealed that she is pregnant. Sagar refuses to believe the child is his; he does not remember having sex with her. He questions Gangaa's character and says she had sex with another man. Disheartened, Gangaa leaves the house; she meets Rahat (Nausheen Ali Sardar), who takes care of poor, homeless girls. Gangaa joins her family. Rahat's daughter Zoya (Rucha Gujarathi) is raped and her husband is murdered by Rudra (Mohit Abrol / Deepak Wadhwa), a friend of Sagar. Sagar refuses to believe Rudra could do this. Later, it is believed Rahat and Niranjan were lovers in college and that Zoya was Niranjan's fake daughter, actually Zoya was the daughter of Dr. Sameer Mirza (Gaurav Khanna), Rahat's husband. Ammaji hid this secret from Niranjan because Rahat was from a different religion and she sent Niranjan to London for studies. After a long court-case drama, Zoya reveals to Rudra that she loves him, the rape charges are fake and she murdered her husband; Rudra records everything but it is deleted by Zoya. He somehow records the confession.
Rahat sees the confession and slaps her daughter, but Zoya tries to snatch a camera. In the resulting fight, Rahat slips and falls to her death from the terrace. Niranjan takes Zoya to his house, to which his wife does not agree. Sagar decides to leave the house with his mother and goes to London. Meanwhile, leap months have appeared and Gangaa gives birth to a baby girl on the day of Krishna Janmanashtri, and she named her Krishna. Niranjan also realises Gangaa was telling the truth that Sagar is Krishna's father. Gangaa decides to be both Krishna's mother and father.
After 7 yearsEdit
Gangaa brings up her and Sagar's daughter Krishna (Ruhana Khanna) alone. Sagar, who is unaware Krishna is his daughter, goes to Banaras on his dad insistence. In a jungle he comes across Krishna, who is lost, and takes care of her. Krishna is instantly attached to him. He knows she is Gangaa's daughter because she looks exactly like Gangaa. He takes her home without meeting Gangaa. One day, Sagar and Gangaa came across each other; Krishna recognises Sagar as the man who helped her in the jungle. She is pleased to see him back but Gangaa takes her home.
Sagar plans to leave Banaras whereas Gangaa cannot answer Krishna's question about her father. She herself sets out to find her father. She again comes across Sagar but collapses in his arms. She is rushed to hospital where Gangaa reveals that Krishna has a hole in her heart and it is genetic; Krishna's father had the same problem in childhood. Sagar is shocked and he asks Gangaa who is Krishna's father but she does not reply. Sagar refuses to go to London without finding answers. One day, in a temple, Yash takes Krishna to blackmail Gangaa that he will kill her daughter; he reveals that his mother mixed something in Sagar's drink, which is why he does not remember having sex with Gangaa. Sagar and family are shocked; Gangaa and Krishna go to their home. Sagar says sorry and asks for forgiveness but Gangaa does not budge and is not ready listen as Sagar questions her character but Sagar tells her he came for Krishna and asks Krishna to come with him but Gangaa stops Sagar.

Parallel story arcsEdit

With the departure of Madhvi from the Chaturvedi family, the relationship between Pulkit and Supriya worsens and also because of the miscarriage of Supriya.

While the lack of a spring break may have deprived my students of sleep and time off to relax, it has not dampened their spirits when it comes to FFA. Spring has brought many great things to our FFA chapter, and it is nice to see the members being rewarded for their hard work and effort that they have been putting in all year. In the years before I arrived at South, their advisors had not always allowed them to compete in CDEs and attend events that they had prepared for or wanted to try. This year, they were able to expand their horizons and experience the success they deserve.
The officers tried their hand at the Winter Online CDEs for the first time this year. I had also never had students participate in this either, so it was a new experience for all of us. Our Farm Business Management team took home 3rd place in the state, and we had the 2nd placed individual. The members used this event as a chance to gain new insight into the business of ag since we don't offer it as part of our curriculum, and it will be a great addition to their resumes.
Hort Expo was also a great morale booster for the members. Almost every entry (from both middle and high school members) received a ribbon, and both of our senior floral design students received first place in their division for their arrangements. This was their first year involved in FFA, and it is nice that they got a taste of success in a very competitive event and will remember their FFA experience as a positive one.
Spring CDEs were also successful. We sent a team of first timers to Vet Science, and they had a great experience and a solid showing. They will be back for more next year and more competitive than ever. The highlight was our Ag Mechanics team who placed 2nd in the state in what was a very competitive CDE. We also had the 2nd and 5th placed individuals. We do not have ag mechanics as part of our curriculum, so for them to beat out schools that offer ag mechanics classes was a huge achievement. The group of boys who made up the team had a hard time with the transition of the program this year, so it was wonderful to see them feel proud and successful. We were also extremely fortunate to have a great group of parents and community members to coach them and help guide them along. I know nothing about ag mechanics, so their help was greatly appreciated!
Living to Serve Grant
Our chapter was awarded a Living to Serve Grant this year to do community outreach about our school's rain garden. After months of planning and coordinating, we headed to West Amwell School to work with 4th-6th graders who will attend South in the future. The members taught the younger students about the rain garden, and assisted them in making hummingbird feeders out of recycled water bottles. This fun, yet eco-friendly project, was a wonderful experience for all involved, and we are hoping to continue our partnership with WAS next year. The elementary students showed a strong interest in learning about FFA, and hopefully will join our middle school chapter when they take ag in 7th and 8th grade.
Have a great weekend and look for S'Morey soon!

Dont just take my word, listen to my happy clients.
Reaching out to Ms. Nechay was the only good decision I made during my run in with the law. I was arrested for urinating in public and public intoxication. She immediately dove into my case by learning local laws and jurisdiction in a state where she does not practice. She obtained my arrest report and Police car/body cam footage of the arrest. She found multiple discrepancies between the Police report and the actual events that unfolded.
She quickly contacted the prosecutor who oversaw my case and convinced him to dismiss all charges before my appointed court date. I was required to inform my employer of the arrest and charges. Ms. Nechay provided several hours of her time to help coach me how to deal with that dicey process. I could not have asked for a better outcome both legally and with my employer.
I am sincerely grateful for her diligent and effective efforts. If you find yourself requiring legal help, she is the attorney to call.
Valery is the best in the business when it comes to high performance Counsel required to tackle an array of cases where the threshold is just starting to kick in for seeking outside guidance.I was very impressed with her uncanny ability to utilize laser sharp focus in order to identify why the case was a win.
After the win, she followed up promptly with the appropriate items required to close the case. Again, very impressed with her expertise, which is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in her field.
Valery is a young star who saved my case. Another lawyer had made a mess of things by trying to hide crucial information from the court. Valery fixed everything and achieved an outcome that was optimal for our family.
A few points about Valery: (1) She is persuasive and spirited in defending her clients. She makes strong points and won't give up even when she faces heavy opposition. Even when the judge or DA get loud or aggressive, Valery just gets aggressive herself. (2) She has empathy for her clients. I am a young housewife and am currently dealing with a medical situation. Valery was understanding, listened to my family's needs, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for my family. Even when our baby would cry on the phone when we were talking to her, she was understanding and did not complain.
(3) She is a moral and upstanding person. She was outraged by the irresponsible behavior of our previous lawyer and we felt like she was not just fighting for us, she was fighting to make sure the right thing happened and justice was achieved. (4) She is a fantastic logical thinker. She was able to quickly assess the whole picture of the case and identify the key information we needed to present to the judge. After she did this, the whole response from the court changed. She anticipated the objections she would meet and worked with us to prepare evidence in advance so that she would be successful.
I like Valery a lot. I even feel glad to have met her as a friend. If you are unjustly accused of something (or just need a great lawyer who will fight for your rights), definitely go with her.
We consulted with Ms. Nechay regarding a civil rights issue involving a family member. She is knowledgeable, professional, personable and highly competent in her law practice. She is also respectful and compassionate and takes the time to build rapport with clients.
I recommend her services to prospective clients, family members and others seeking a fair resolution to a legal challenge. In our case, she secured the desired outcome and spent the necessary time to inform our family about the legal issues and her strategy to address them. She does her homework and it pays off!
She has also distinguished herself nationally as one of the top ranked attorneys under age 40, and she clearly deserves this recognition.
I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, but that's hard to keep in mind when your facing multiple violent felonies/misdemeanor for a crime you didn't commit. Valery was definitely a blessing in disguise for me and my family.
I had already had a lawyer when I found Valery through yelp; her excellent reviews and calming way she spoke to me instantly made me want a consultation. She made it very convenient for us to meet for the first time. After explaining to her my multiple cases in two different counties, she was very honest, direct and immediately made me realize she was the one.
That day I fired my previous lawyer, who by the way did absolutely nothing for me or my case. Valery always kept me updated on what was going on with my case. She was always professional and on time for court. She did more for my case in 1 month then my last lawyer did in the 6months I obtained him. She was very fair with pricing and flexible when it came time to a payment arrangement. She was also able to exonerate my bail which was a huge relief for me.
After everything was said and done I was able to get a trespass with no jail time! Very Big and an absolute win for me. I love Valery and will forever appreciate what she did for me.
You won't find a more capable attorney. Give her a call talk with her once and you will have no doubt that she's a great attorney.
I am very grateful that I found Ms. Valery to help me fight my case. She is very kind, passionate & dedicated on what she does. She made me feel like I am not just a client but also a friend that she got its back throughout the fight.
She is trustworthy, dependable, detail oriented, & at last she has the heart to do everything that she can for her client to win his/her case. I will definitely be her comeback client and recommend her to anyone that I know that will need her help!
Thank you for all that you did for me Ms. Valery! I wish you all the best! It was a pleasure working with you!
Shes the best hands down. Getting your first case is no joke so i decided to get one of the best lawyers, so i hired valery. Shes one of the best lawyers in sf from the moment i talked to her i knew i was in good hands.
The DA would of charged me if it wasn't for her. She's smart beautiful and won't let you down. I promise. hire valery as your lawyer, you won't regret it.
Valery gave her full attention to my case. She took the time to explain the process, my options, and help me understand how to navigate my life during a difficult and painful time. She is an outstanding legal professional and the one to call should you find yourself in legal trouble.
Valery is a fantastic lawyer! She fought very hard every step of the way for me, was very open and honest, and turned criminal felony charges with prison exposure into an optimal misdemeanor plea with only 6 months of probation and expungement. In the end I was only required to pay minimal court fees and fines after facing thousands of dollars in restitution.
I highly recommend Valery. Not only was she a great with the legal proceedings, but she was available at all times and helped me get through the process emotionally as well. I instantly felt more comfortable with my situation when I met her, and I can't imagine a better result with any other lawyer. 5/5
At the time we retained Ms. Nechay, my family member had already been sentenced. Valery saved the day and fixed everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Our previous attorney had deliberately misled the court and concealed the fact that we had an imminent move out of state. This led to a plea deal with terms that were terrible for our family. It could have led to a separation between our members of our family, including our young child, due to a requirement to live in a certain state that would have caused irreparable damage.
Ms. Nechay completely reversed the Court's decision on the old plea and helped us secure a new plea for a reduced charge and a *much* lighter sentence that would allow us to live out of state as we required. She thoughtfully worked with us to rally key evidence and aggressively represented us against the DA. She was sensitive to the fact that the case stemmed from a medical situation.
Valery was always available to communicate when we needed her, was upfront about key decisions in the case, and was a zealous advocate for our case and our rights. Our only regret is that we didn't meet her earlier in the case before our previous, dishonest lawyer began representing us.
After the case, Valery continued to be helpful with follow-up matters even after her fee was already paid. She cares about doing the right thing.
I would *highly* recommend Ms. Nechay to anyone who needs a defense attorney.
I found Valery after I was charged with a serious case that involved multiple, violent felonies with exposure to many years in prison. I was terrified despite the fact that I was a victim and had an affirmative self-defense. Although I had spoken to many lawyers, I knew she was the one for the job.
From the beginning, she was patient, thorough in her explanation of her strategy, reassuring, empathetic, and effective as my advocate. She helped me remain calm and assured everything was going to be alright and always had a positive attitude. Through her aggressive investigation and negotiation with the DA, she got my entire case dismissed before the preliminary hearing even happened.
She was a blessing to me and my family. I am confident that she is the only lawyer for anyone facing serious criminal charges.
I am very grateful to have met Valery through another colleague of her. She helped me with a new law called the C.A.R.E act law which seals ones records if he/she has no conviction off of any charges or arrests.
As this legislation is new, Valery represented me at the time where only a very few and handful of attorneys are working on this. I was furious to get this done asap and Valery worked on the petition in a very efficient manner yet smoothly and expeditiously. The hearing was concluded in favor of my rights. Valery was knowledgeable, confident, and very attentive to my questions and supportive to my cause. And above all that, she continues to extend her advice even after the case is closed.
I would not hesitate recommending her to any friend or relative of need.
Valery is superb. I came to her office abxious about my case and immediately she reassured that she could solve the problem. Throughout the entire process she was readily available for any questions and concerns.
Valery is an extraordinary attorney, so much so that she was able to get my case dismissed before filing. Highly recommend!
I needed a lawyer to navigate the legal system for a case that was dismissed, but still on my records. I called some lawyers and they did not seem confident about being able to seal my records or even willing to hear the whole story. Then I found Valery and just by talking to her I felt she empathized with me, she was concerned about how this dismissed case will affect my future employment because of discrimination.
She was knowledgeable on how to proceed with my case and produced a great defense backed up by my innocence, research based on ethics and new laws enacted for people in my situation. I'm happy to say we won the case because of her hard work and because she cared about my best interest. No matter what kind of defense you will need, Valery will deliver expertise and confidence.
Valery help me out tremendously. Her ability to think quickly and approach my sensitive issues with empathy and professionalism and Being aggressive advocate in my defense got my case dismissed. Thank you Valery.
I could not be more pleased to have had such a wonderful attorney represent me! Generally I am not very fond of lawyers, but Valery change that stereotype for me. From the moment I first spoke with Her, she spent 45 minutes on the phone with me, discussing my case…..before we had even decided on whether she was going to represent me or not!
Most attorneys wont give you 5 minutes on the phone, without some sort of commitment, let alone 45 minutes giving you advice explaining her plan of attack…and asked for nothing in return. I chose Valerie to represent me because she is down to earth, highly intelligent and confident.
But most of all kind hearted. She believed in me, and that I was being truthful with her. There are no words i can write that accurately convey how grateful I am fo have found her online. She is incredibly thorough and knows her stuff! If you're looking for an attorney who will not even consider losing as an option, she is the one!
She will Treat you as an equal and Will fight to get your case dismissed I highly recommend Valery! My family and I couldn't be more satisfied with the work she put in for us! Thank you Valery!
If you are under investigation or charged with a crime, I will consult with you in person and at no charge to you.

A pack of delinquent youths used Shabos and Shavuos night to terrorize many people around Bnei Brak, smashing windows and light fixtures, eventually ending their Shavuos night by storming the Dorog Bais Medrash, leaving 20 Chassidim injured.
The group started their Shabbos with vandalism at the Antania Shul as well as the Machnovka Bais Medrash. Many other Batei Midrashim are now identifying the suspects as the same – all from security camera footage. They stole anything they could, broke things in all the buildings they entered, and assaulted many people.
The end of their vandalizm streak ended on Shavuos night when the gang spent three hours running around the streets, verbally abusing people, and using sticks to smash many objects. Being that it was Shavuos, local residents did not call police.
Eventually, the group arrived at the Dorog Bais Medrash, where a large crowd was learning and saying Tikun Lail Shavuos. They first began throwing water at the Chassidim, and then brazenly entered the building with large wooden sticks and began assaulting anyone they could. They threw heavy objects at anyone that came near them.
Afterward, the youths increased their activity, and even removed a fire extinguisher that was installed in the area, emptying its contents by spraying it indiscriminately in the beis medrash area, causing considerable damage.
Some of the young chassidim tried to oust the disruptive youths and was injured as a result of the throwing of stones by the rioters. Rescuers summoned to the site gave treatment to at least injured chassidim, some of whom refused to be evacuated to the hospital until after yomtov.
On motzei Yomtov, Sunday night, some of the youths returned to the beis medrash "to settle accounts" with the chassidim who struck them
Police have since arrested at least 5 of the attackers, and are searching for additional suspects. Sadly they all come from Chareidi homes (both Ashkenazim and Sephardim).
Meanwhile, on Tuesday afternoon it was learned that the same group of youths broke into another Baitei Midrashim in Bnei Brak, causing damage and stealing what they could find.
The security camera footage below was taken inside the "Antanya Beis Medrash" on Friday night (early Shabbos morning). The group attempted to smash the cameras, as well as soaked many ares of the SHul with lots of water.
Police are working to identify the group and connect the two.
Footage from the suspects inside the Machnovka building in Bnei Brak will be loaded shortly.

Derek J. - Upper Chemong Lake
I would like to personally thank the C&M Superior team for the excellent installation of my new 40' towered dock the summer of 2015. From first meeting at the Cottage Show, I was sold on the professionalism, and knowledge of docks, and you and your wife put my mind as ease knowing I would have a professional installing my dock. My mother, 72 years old would never walk out onto my dock; until this new dock was installed.

Well… We did an event!! As I explained on my last blog Siren has had it pretty tough recently and it was a bit touch and go as to whether he would be ready for Kelsall. But after everything he had been through we thought he deserved a good 'fun run' and to blow away a few cobwebs. We hadn't been anywhere to practice dressage, we hadn't been showjumping and he hadn't been cross country schooling … Who says practice makes perfect!?
To say it was hard work is an understatement!! He was throwing in all sorts of freestyle movements in the dressage warm up, but managed to keep it together for a very pleasing mark of 33, even with a few silly mistakes. Unusually the cross country was next, and, you guessed it…. Was a nightmare!! He set off out of the start box like he was in the Grand National. He didn't listen to one single instruction from me! He set his jaw and ran. Parts were bordering on dangerous, but he knows his job and he was clear, with a few time penalties due to me attempting to pull his back teeth out. He finished full of running and ready to go again. He then showjumped really nicely, just knocking 2 poles which I think is due to lacking a bit of 'match practice'. Overall we finished 9th, and we were all totally thrilled with him!!
Since then we thought cross country schooling would be a good idea. So we headed down to Somerford and he was much better. I'm putting his slight erratic behaviour at Kelsall due to over excitement. Saturday we headed down for another dressage lesson… Things are slowly starting to improve. It will be a while yet before we see any drastic improvements in our score but I really feel we are getting somewhere.
Luckily my dad usually comes with me to my lessons and drives the wagon. This allowed me to watch Badminton cross country all the way home! For the first time, I'm glad it's a 2 hour trek. The course looked amazing and I really hope one day I get to compete there. Michel Jung is a hero!! I'm sure no one would bet against him for winning Olympic Gold. But for me the real success story isn't the people at the top of the leader board, but it has to be Mulry and Ben. They have had an enormous amount of press, and they deserve it all. To battle cancer and yet be back at the top level a year later is unbelievable. I also have a slight bias towards Mulry, not only because he is Siren's fellow 'cob' but because he used to hunt and complete with his owner, Sallie, and Siren and I. We officially have famous friends!
So inspired by Badminton I am really looking forwards to Chatsworth this weekend. We are still slightly off 'match fitness' but Siren is fit (very fit) and raring to go, and we will both try our best. Chatsworth is one of my favourites, and this year we have a fair few friends and sponsors (most of which fall into both categories!) coming to watch and support us. After Chatsworth, Siren is going for a gastroscope to hopefully rule out stomach ulcers. We have struggled with his weight for some time and last time I was talking to the fab team at Topspec they suggested his eating habits (or non-eating habits!) are familiar to horses suffering from stomach ulcers. After speaking to Louise at Aireworth Vets, he is booked in. Hopefully he is just a 'fussy' eater but it's something I have suspected for a while. For now, hope you all enjoyed the sunshine whilst it lasted.
Much love, Charlotte and Super Si

Love My Dog: Pixley Harris Tweed Dog Lead – Pink
Superb quality dog lead
The fabric for this dog lead is cut by hand in the London studio of Love My Dog. It's finished by a traditional British belt-maker using sturdy metal buckles and genuine saddlery fittings. The finished dog lead feels substantial and well-made and lasts for years.
Easy to clean designer dog lead
Pixley fabrics have an invisible Teflon coating, that shrugs off dirt and stains. Occasionally it may need a clean – after all, dogs do like to roll in some unspeakable things! When that happens, just hand wash the dog lead or give it a wipe over with a damp cloth, and it comes up looking like new.
Two sizes of dog lead
The Pixley Harris Tweed Dog Lead is approximately 1 metre long and is available in a slim width for small dogs or regular width for medium to large dogs.
Exclusive dog Lead in genuine Harris Tweed
Harris Tweed is a protected name to guard against inferior imitators. Woven in Scotland and originally worn by landowners and shepherds it's also a favourite with the British aristocracy for its warmth and wonderful softness. For years, tweed was always woven in earthy colours but we love these new vibrant colours that bring an traditional old fabric bang up to date.

Syria: We were the ones carrying this revolution
The anti-regime demonstrations in Syria began in Damascus about two years ago. During that spring, they spread across the country. By May, thousands of students were demonstrating in the streets of Aleppo, protesting against the regime's violence against its own population in many other Syrian cities. Reem "Hala" – which is one of her aliases as an activist – is just above 20 years of age and was there when it began.
– We started a women's organization for planning and organizing demonstrations. But when weapons started to appear in Aleppo we couldn't participate in the same way. But we still wanted to contribute to the revolution, says Reem "Hala".
Reem "'Hala" entered the journalist section of her organization. Since then she hasDe regimkritiska demonstrationerna i Syrien började i Damaskus för snart två år sedan och under våren spred de sig genom landet. I maj var tusentals studenter ute på gatorna i Aleppo, i protest mot det militära våld som regimen släppt loss mot befolkningen i flera andra städer. Reem "Hala" – som är ett av de falska namn hon använder som aktivist – är strax över 20 år, studerar vid Aleppos universitet och var med när det började.
– Vi startade en organisation för kvinnor och planerade och arrangerade demonstrationer. När vapnen kom in Aleppo kunde vi inte delta på samma sätt. Men vi ville ändå bidra till revolutionen.
Reem "Hala" gick med i den journalistiska delen av organisationen. Sedan dess har hon bevakat och spridit nyheter om regimens våld både genom radio och en nystartad tidning. Det är ett arbete som innebär stora risker. Förra våren blev hon skottskadad medan hon bevakade en demonstration.
These are the most important defections from the Syrian dictatorship so far. In the report "Friends no more – Implications of the Tlass and Fares defections from the Syrian regime", The Middle East expert Aron Lund analyzes the meaning of these defections and their possible future consequences.
The Syrian opposition gathers more and more people that with great courage protest against the regime and its violence and brutality. At the same time, the opposition is fragmented. The lack of unity within the Syrian opposition is often assessed as one of the reasons to why al-Assad has been able to keep his position.
The Olof Palme International Center has a long tradition of supporting democracy movements around the world. In October last year, approximately 100 representatives from the Syrian opposition met at the conference Unify all efforts, outside of Stockholm, to discuss methods to unite their efforts for democracy in Syria. It was leading representatives from a large range of different opposition parties, ethnic and religious organizations, as well as writers, university teachers, actors and bloggers. The conference was carried out with the support of the Olof Palme International Center.
Disagreements emerged during the conference, but some clear common standpoints crystallized. The participants were also in agreement about that the conference had taken important steps forward. You can read more about the conference below.
The Olof Palme International Center is continuing its support to the Syrian opposition. If you want to support our work, your donation is welcome to Swedish plusgiro 570-2. Mark the counterfoil with Syria.

I got fingered yesterday and I enjoyed it a lot (it was my first time) but when I got home I went to the washroom and it hurt to pee. I went for the second time and it still burned but I went the 3rd the time and it didn't hurt at all.. It has been a day and it doesn't hurt anymore when I go to pee, it doesn't hurt at all. Is this normal? Is it because I might be sore or dry? PLZZ answer .!
P.s does it have anything to do with my cherry( hymen) ????
Yes, it's normal. Where did he finger you? If it was inside, then yeah your vagina isn't used to having things in it yet so it's protesting, haha. If you were dry, the friction would have chaffed it a little, making it sore and stingy when you pee. Don't worry, you will stretch with time and it won't sting anymore. Make sure you are lubricated whenever anything goes in there.
And yes, it is the hymen that's stinging (assuming you have one... Some girls wear theirs out with sports and stuff before they are fingered or have sex). So if you have yours, then it's making the entrance down there tighter, and a finger rubbing in and out of it would irritate it and make it sting when you pee.
Just lube up next time and make sure any fingers that go in there are WASHED or you may get an infection.
Yes this is all normal, your body is just experiencing something new and is getting used to it thats all. Just for precaution make sure the guys hands are clean when he touches you to prevent infection and passing bacteria.

Looking for UEFA Champions League final tickets for 2011?
The 2011 football season is drawing to an end, with the Champions League final match being hosted at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 28th May. This is the first time that the highlight of Europe's football club calendar has been hosted at the new Wembley Stadium and a record sixth time that Wembley has played host. This year, the match is between Barcelona and Manchester United: two giant clubs in the footballing world.
Champions League final tickets for 2011 are still for sale, but are selling out like hot cakes. If you want to get your hands on some, you will need to act fast. Most of the usual ticketing agencies are still selling tickets for the final. Try footballseatfinder.com, livefootballtickets.com and ticketmaster.com. The UEFA and championship websites also have European cup final tickets for 2011 for sale. Visit the websites direct at uefa.com and championsleaguefinal2011tickets.com for more details.
Of course at this late stage in the game, there are no such things as cheap Champions League final tickets for 2011. You should be expecting to pay between £1500 and £5500. Of course this is extremely expensive but it is late in the day to be buying your tickets, but the match looks set to be a corker with both teams running on top form just now, and with an equally good chance of returning home victorious.

The March Challenge at Indigo was "A day of my life". We were supposed to make an embroidery about something we see or do every day.
My piece is about my pedometer. I've had it for 2,5 years and I think it's a very helpful little gadget. I aim to do 10 000 steps per day but I have to admit that most days I don't.
I tie-dyed the green and yellow fabric and made a print of my shoe. On the yellow fabric I used green flax thread to make the figures. I hand and mashine stitched them to a black linen fabric. Size: 27 x42 cm. The title is 1,2,3... 10 000

The recyclate quality is presented in terms of the cost of its preparation (Figs. 2, 4) and of the associated demands posed to designers (Fig. 3). The demands must be fulfilled, otherwise the post-consumer polymer waste recycling process is not profitable. Correct selection of primary materials is necessary in view of the future recycling process. The article materials should be limited in number and compatible (Fig. 7).

Klimkin: Reasonable suspicions Russia deployed nuclear weapons in occupied Crimea

Crimea has turned into Russia's major military base, the official said.
Photo from UNIAN
Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin says there are reasonable suspicions that Russia could have deployed nuclear weapons in the occupied Crimea or set up infrastructure for their storage and use.
"Now Crimea has turned into Russia's major military base," he told ATR Crimean Tatar TV channel on October 1.

"At the same time, we don't know exactly what they have there. We have reasonable suspicions that there may be nuclear weapons, or at least, infrastructure for nuclear weapons," Klimkin emphasized.
He also added that due to the release of toxic chemicals at the Crimean Titan plant in the north of the occupied peninsula, it is necessary to investigate whether any other substances, except for titanium, that are being produced there. This can be confirmed by appropriate analyses, he said.

The moon bird squawks
Its long haunting cry
and the sound travels
Across silver-painted
valleys and fields,
pools filigreed with metal.
It's a long, lonesome howl
Not unlike the coyote's
Who crawls in an elephant graveyard
of sodden stones and broken bones.
Ears pricking, fur bristling
As like calls to like.
He sends out a sharp bark of his own.
The sound of a dog laughing as it dies.
Bitterly amused by the irony of life,
The humor in the hypocrisy of death.
The dog at the hearth chuckles.
It is the last breath he has to give.
The human he gives it to sleeps on,
Face turned towards a pillow
Made from the wool of sheep
Who would kill to murder him.
He snores like a chainsaw,
Oblivious to the sounds he can't hear.

A young 16 year old boy with Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy has returned home with noticeable improvements after receiving Adult stem cell research in China. Kyle Knopes, from Janesville, Wisconsin says his quality of life has improved tremendously after returning from China where he received adult stem cells taken from cord blood.
What is Spinal Muscular Atrophy?
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a hereditary disease in which the person is missing a gene which is responsible for the production of the protein for motor neurons. Without this protein, the motor neuron in the spinal cord wither and die.
Before the Stem Cell Treatment in China
- Couldn't open his fist
- Couldn't roll over on his side by himself
- All muscles were very weak, could only hold empty cups
After the Stem Cell Therapy Using Adult Stem Cells
- Can open his fist and stretch his fingers by himself
- Can roll from his back onto his side all by himself
- Can now carry some weight, such as a bottle of apple juice rather than just empty cups
- Reports improved strength in all his muscles
- Daily tasks such as eating and writing are easier
Adult Stem Cells "Definitely" and "Absolutely" Worth It
When asked if the trip half way around the world from Wisconsin to China was worth it, Kyle replied "Definitely" and his mother chimed in with "Absolutely."
From the stem cell article:
Kyle and Penny said they're happy to have gone through all the fundraising and planning for the treatment that cost more than $30,000, plus expenses.
They'd even consider a second trip in a few years for more injections.
They met families from across the United States, Australia, United Arab Emirates, England and elsewhere during their stay.
"It was like one big family," Kyle said.
Another Spinal Muscular Atrophy Patient Helped By Stem Cell Research
Coincidentally, or probably not so coincidentally, Kyle followed in the footsteps of another Janesville resident with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Brandon Meinke.
This was a great story because a reporter from the local TV station followed Brandon before and after the stem cell treatment, documenting the improvements.
Brandon received stem cell treatment for his SMA and was able to walk again after the adult stem cells. You can see more on his stem cell therapy here.

The title of the movie initially sent a different picture to my mind's eyes…when I haven't seen the movie; I saw moms filled with hatred for one another's progress and the only way to show their disgust was to lash it out with malice. My mind's eyes created a picture of a neighborhood filled with moms…successful ones who were ready for war, not with guns and grenades but with pots and ladles…It recreated the weapons as laptops, papers and pens. Lol! My initial image about the movie was wrong.
You see, don't be quick to judge a movie by its cover.
With a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of smoov, best way to enjoy movies, I took home three worthy lessons the day I saw the movie, 'Moms at war'.
I was swayed by the strong force built when women put hatred and malice aside, agree and corporate to understand each other, they'll become unbreakable. This was depicted by Omoni Oboli as Ebubechukwu Ubosi and Funke Akindele-Bello as Olaide Adetola. They were women who had a strong stand in the society but sometimes saw other women as trash and not up to one's class especially Ebubechukwu, who saw her neighbour, Olaide, one she haven't spoke to for two years as 'a village woman, who was privileged to have made money'. This ideology was soon corrected when the two had to make peace for the sake of their children.
You remember the saying, 'the love a mother has for her child supersedes all'. I took this home too. Moms in this movie had this quality in common, they both loved their children and wanted to see them progress. Reason they both had to go the extra miles with Christian Keller as Mr Gerald, to see that their children both got the scholarship to study overseas. The love for their children was the driving force that pushed them to work together. These moms were unstoppable!
Another take home lesson. No matter how successful a woman is, she still needs a man to lean on. God knew why he sent Eve to Adam. Olaide was made lonely by the death of her husband, now this made her focus all her energy on her son, Bayo Adetola. Ebubechukwu on the other hand, loved her Adam, Yul Udochie as Chidi Ubosi and was ready to forgive his flaws until when she thought she was done with forgiveness and threw him out of the house. From that day, she feigned happiness for her daughter's sake, Amara Ubosi and her one time war partner who turned out to be her friend. This friend saw through her and read all the signs of loneliness she tried to conceal and decided to hook the love birds back to their nest. Now you'll see how grateful she was to have a friend who understood the importance of a man in a woman's life.
The movie didn't end like the title, rather peace, everything good came through!

Display Samsung Galaxy Note8 turned out to be the best on the market and was impressed with brightness over 1200 nits
Company DisplayMate, the most authoritative appraiser of the quality of the screens, tested the latest Samsung Galaxy Note8 and called it the best display on the market.
Color gamut and brightness
The most impressive feature of the display was the brightness over 1200 nits, this is a new record. Informed leadership on the brightness of held Galaxy S8, the experts got it 1048 bat. Coverage of the color spectrum of the screen Note8 mode DCI-P3 was 112%, and in sRGB — 141%. The white balance in all modes as close as possible to the reference value 6500K.
If not within the standard colour spectrum — more of a marketing ploy than useful to the consumer device feature (at least until the release of Android Oreo and ready for application), higher brightness will be useful to any user.
A bonus was the lower power consumption in comparison with the Galaxy S8 (2-8% depending on brightness). This is especially important due to the fact that the capacity of the battery is 200 mAh less than the S8, with a comparable display size.
Other features
The screen accurately displays colors and is true to color, and manual settings allow you to adjust most settings. However, the device adjusts automatically to the displayed content, because users do not have unnecessarily something to regulate themselves.
Note8 supplemented by a number of technologies, including attenuates the blue spectrum for less eye fatigue. The device is certified according to the standard HDR Premium Mobile — relevant content is not enough, but smartphones that support it, there is more and more, which will push the creators to implement it in their projects.

16 Oct The Forks, Maine Foliage Report
Fall in Maine is here – and whether you're aiming to take a leaf peeping day trip for craft beer and lunch, or looking for an overnight adventure (yep, we've got cabins), we're here to let you know exactly what the foliage is doing here in The Forks! So, every week until mid-October, our team will be flying high to get you a bird's eye view of the changing colors in The Forks area.

Weekly Report, Week of October 14th, 2019:
As you can tell from the progression photo, the true peak foliage for our region of Maine began last week and lasted through the weekend. It made for an amazing LAST BLAST trip on the Dead River, and perfect peak foliage for our final big Kennebec River trip of the season! The ATV and hiking trails were busy, and lots of folks stopped in for lunch and a beer on their travels through The Forks! If you want to find PEAK foliage right now, there's still time on the coast — so take a road trip to hike the Bees Hive in Acadia National Park! Once you're done, travel just under 3 hours west to our region of Maine for just past peak conditions. It may be past peak where we're at, but we're still seeing beautiful colors, and the weather is great for outdoor adventuring. Our lodge, restaurant and on-site brewery, accommodations & cabins, and local ATV and hiking trails are still open — so there's still time to get outside and enjoy some fall beauty!
Want to see more? The Maine Foliage Report, published weekly, gives you the full run down of the color change across the entire state.
Need some ideas on how to see the colors? We've got a few in mind!
Relax in a cabin in the woods, steps away from a craft brewery and restaurant..oh, and an outdoor hot tub!
Whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River!
ROAD TRIP! Check out the Maine Beer Trail and go for a brew tour, or just stop by our resort for lunch on your way to Quebec City.
Fly fishing through the Kennebec River gorge is the MOST unique fishing trip offered in our area!

|GIBSON GUITAR Co.-the end?
It has been widely reported that the Gibson Co. could be going into administration. I know guitar sales in the US are down a third as fewer young people are taking up the instrument; not sure about the rest of the world. I think it's a combination of more choice in guitar brands, having their models copied and that Gibson guitars are perhaps too expensive for many...a price that cant be justified

|Re: GIBSON GUITAR Co.-the end?
Gibson have been making guitars of a poorer and poorer quality for years.
I have a few of the classics. A 57 Les paul Junior, a les paul special plus an sg-x which is like a junior. All of which are great. But when I look at the new ones, I'm appalled. Cheaper materials, poor finish, "stuck on" decals. Of course, the have to source different woods for ecological reasons, but that's no reason to mis-treat it!
There's lots of guitars out there now that rival Gibsons at much cheaper pricing.
I think they should scale it right back and go back to basics, which they can still do when they try!

|Re: GIBSON GUITAR Co.-the end?
I believe they are to 're structure', ie concentrate just on guitars. They also have debts..not sure how that will be resolved.
As you say, they're models have been copied for years-as have Fender's. Japanese copies, other far east brands, Vintage do good versions of the LP and SG and of course Epiphone which is part of Gibson anyway. Many cant justify £1500 and more on a guitar..unless you are pro

we have written a lot of automation software the last view years. One thing we are missing is a clear identification of the objects in Expedition.
Depending on the way you get the object, you get a different handle. E.g. if you pick for placement outlines, get one and ask for the component with PlacementOutline.Component the resulting handle is different than a Document.FindComponent(<RefDes>).
This is just an example, that within automation it is impossible to figure out, wether two objects handles point to the same object.
On our way to a better self made design checking we would need a unique object ID. This would help to figure out, if an object already was checked or not.
As you can imagine, the ID has to be persistent when the design is saved and reopened. Only then you can write your own batch checks and save the result.
For a later selecting / view fitting when you review your design results, you need this ID to avoid a huge "re-identification" programming effort.

Following the successful release of Battlefield 3 in the last few weeks, EA Games President Frank Gibeau has reportedly gone on record as talking about Battlefield 4.
When speaking during a talk yesterday at the University of Southern California, Gibeau was reported to have said "There is going to be a Battlefield 4." The quote was picked up by numerous attendees on Twitter.
In response to quote, EA issued a statement by saying "Frank was speaking broadly about the Battlefield brand - a brand that EA is deeply passionate about and a fan community that EA is committed to."

The books I've read hold the story of my life
For the past 8 years I've kept a record of every book I've read. For some that might sound like a silly chore, and for some that is perhaps all it would be. But books have accompanied me through the small and big events of life, and when I think back on a particular book I often remember where I was when I read it and how my reading of it interacted with my goings-on back then.
When I look through my list and see The Last of the Mohicans (James F. Cooper), I am reminded of one lazy summer holiday, and how every day I'd read a bit more while floating on a lilo in our swimming pool. I read and fell in love with several very English books such as the Scarlet Pimpernel, Pride and Prejudice and Mortimer's Rumpole series while living with an aunt in Sheffield. Just two years ago I was transported to the enigmatic world of the high Caucasus by John le Carré while I stayed with my family in a chalet facing the Amphitheatre. (I agree there is something of irony to reading about one distant place while sitting in another, but holidays are when we read the most, and so I find this happens often.) And I read the actor Bruce Marchiano's book In the Footsteps of Jesus while simply sitting on my bed in the evenings during term time, but I sat there mesmerised as he opened my eyes to Jesus as a lover who dragged himself to the cross for me, and it was a non-descript, happy time in my life.
Every reader has these associations, but very often the books we've read we give away or misplace, and many of the memories attached with them go too. Simply by having the reminder of a title and its author, I can find myself thinking: oh yes, I remember you, you lovely book, and how I was reading you at midnight the night before my exam when I should have been asleep. The books offer up remembrances of times and occasions both good and bad, as well as commonplace, but even mundane memories hold appeal as part of who I was, how I used to think and feel, and how I grew to become who I am now. So since I have always enjoyed reading, my list of book helps me remember the story of my life.

The only thing standing between you and the kind of life you want to lead, is you. This is true for your health, your relationships, your career, your spirituality, your wealth. The list goes on.
A lot of the time it's a false belief or misconception that can cause us to get in our own way. This is especially true for investing. There's a lot of bad opinions and sensationalism around money and the economy that can skew our perceptions. That's why we're going to remove five common misconceptions about investing money from your life.
1. I Will Make a Lot Of Money Quickly
Investments can come dressed as many things, but a get-rich-quick scheme they are not. That's called a pyramid or ponzi scheme, and it doesn't end well for anybody. The first, and most important, lesson in investing for beginners is that it takes time.
If investing meant everyone could make money quickly, everyone would be doing it. But even when it comes to the basic investment vehicle, your retirement, only 6% of South Africans save up enough. Whatever your investment goal, consistency and self-discipline over a longer period will get you there. Even when you're starting small, because: compound interest.
2. It's Not Safe, I Could Lose Money
Putting your hard-earned money into any sort of investment can seem risky, and it is. But the investor controls the amount of risk they're exposed to.
A good investment broker will advise that the longer your time horizon (to when you plan on cashing in), the higher the risk (or volatility) should be. This is because a highly volatile investment (like equities) shows great gains and losses in the short term. But, should you trace a line through the average steady growth of that investment over a longer period on a graph, you'll see it goes up, up, and up.
But, should you only have five years before you retire, a conservative option, like cash or bonds, would be more up your alley. It's not gambling, it's a strategy.
3. It's Safer To Grow Your Money At The Bank
A bank is a good place for your cheque account and an emergency fund. It is not, however, the place where money grows. We have inflation – the increase in the cost of living that reduces the purchasing power of our money – to thank for this.
Your money may be growing at say 5% in your 32-day notice account at the bank, but the inflation rate in South Africa is currently 6.5% according to the 2016 Consumer Price Index (CPI). That means your money is losing value 1.5% faster than it's 'growing'. So the figure may look like it's increasing, but you're actually losing money.
4. I Need An Investment Broker
Look, investing isn't rocket science. You can learn to do it all (even hedge funds) if you just take a little time to do your homework. Get a basic understanding of how money works. Satrix 40, as an example, allows you to pop online and start investing in your personal capacity. So do most passive investment vehicles, like exchange traded funds (ETFs), and many others.
If time is money, however, a broker can help, if you choose the right one. You just need to ask your potential broker the right questions, like his track history investing for other clients.
5. I Can Start Later
There are 365 days in the year. Some day isn't one of them. Cheesy, we know, but true. There's a book that's not widely available called The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen. It basically demonstrates the principle that success in life is achieved through inches of progress, and not miles.
He illustrates so powerfully the cost of waiting to start doing anything worthwhile. He uses the example of two friends (both 24) with a $1 million savings goal for retirement. They work out that if they each put away $2,000.00 every year for six years and then let it gather interest, they will both reach their goal at age 65.
One friend starts immediately and stops at age 29. He puts away $12,000.00 in total and that grows over time to reach his goal.
The other friend waits. And waits. He eventually starts putting the same annual amount away but only starts at 30. He saves $2,000.00 every year for 33 years before he can stop… to reach the same goal! What cost his friend $12,000.00 for starting early, cost him $66,000.00 for waiting.
Moral of the story? Don't let what you want cost you five times as much because you don't start today.

Recently, I met a friend out for lunch. The cafe we had intended to go to was closed, so we walked two doors down to one that had nice outdoor seating. I am not even going to even go into the confusing concept of this cafe because it's beyond baffling. Suffice to say, the menu had a decent description of Dolma, stuffed grape leaves, that led me to be curious and order them. There are two things I never order out at a restaurant: Baklava and Dolma. Here, I felt compelled to order both and it made me pretty darn grumpy that cafes still insist on selling cheap, junk food at high prices. Before ordering the Dolma, I read the reviews on the restaurant, specifically on the dolma. They were raving about them. "Let's try them!" I suggested. When they came, I immediately knew that they were canned because they were rectangular due to being packed so tightly together. They were disgusting: soggy and tasted of vinegar.
I made up my own batch of dolma, just so that I could deconstruct both and show you what REAL dolma should look like. Homemade dolma is filled with cinnamon, spices, dill, mint, pine nuts, and currants. They are variegated in size and are cylindrical. If you see dolma that is a soggy white mass of over-cooked rice, run away..run far far away!
Deviating from my normal baklava blogs, I felt compelled to demand decent Middle Eastern food from these cafes! There are big distributors who send these cafes everything pre-made and packaged for the gyros, baklava, etc. All the cafes have to do is heat it up. Demand real food, dammit! These new Middle Eastern cafes are dumbing down the food to feed mainstream. This is not what that culture tastes like.
You should taste the dance of spices mingling in all corners of your mouth. Extremes of spicey hot to oozing sweetness should permeate the experience. There should be a sense of time and family in each bite. Middle Eastern food takes time, hours of simmering deepen the flavor. It takes a family gathering together, talking or drinking tea while they make the meatballs or roll dolma.
I am not going to even mention the baklava I attempted to eat. I understand now how come some people are afraid of trying my baklava. They have had such horrible baklava that they are scarred for life.
If you take a look at the photos below, you can immediately see the difference between the fresh vs. canned. Save your tastebuds and your wallet by not ordering canned dolma out. Just ask if it's homemade or not if it's on the menu. If it's not, stay away!

Dagger Grows Into New Home, The Willoughby
We have experienced exponential growth since our founding in 2013, growing from 3 to now 43 employees. During this swift 5-year span, Dagger has "hung its hat" at Atlanta Tech Village, Dutch Valley Place, and WeWork's Midtown office. On Tuesday, June 12th, 2018, The Willoughby rolled out the welcome mat to accommodate Dagger's surge for years to come.
The modern space, just a pop, grind and kickflip from Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark off the Beltline's Eastside Trail, has exceeded expectations. As if The Willoughby's spacious rooftop deck (with sweeping views of the Atlanta skyline), Beltline access and swanky café with full-time barista weren't enough to impress, the elation and pride also translate to the office design.
The space was custom designed by Josh Charles, founder of Flags of Origin, whose previous projects include Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, Gather HQ, Switchyards Downtown Club and Bocado Burger.
Charles' vision split the space into two sides; one focusing on shared & common space such as conference rooms, lounge areas and the aforementioned café that rivals most modern coffee shops in Atlanta.
Our workspace focuses on organic materials and simplicity with color, highlighted by white plaster and wood, with a nod towards Danish & Japanese design that delivers on form and function. The lighting is handmade with a focus on white and natural wood. Every table in Dagger is handmade by a local company, SUBEAU, using white oak.
The shared café (with neighbor Dragon Army) features tables made by hand, both locally and from MJO Studios in Asheville, NC. The lighting is all custom made from Allied Maker in New York as well as sourced from an old train station in London. Tile on the bar comes from Heath Ceramics and concrete counters were made locally, while the metal cabinets were imported from Turkey.
A central focus is the neon Cafe՛sign from Texas, which Flags of Origin rehabbed and hung centrally in the space.

6 poppyseed buns
4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise (we like Martinnaise, from selected Superspars)
70g rocket
2 avocados, mashed with the juice of 1 lime
75g sundried tomatoes
4 tsp fried onions
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft. Add the sesame seeds, turn
up the heat and cook until just golden.
- Meanwhile, microwave the potatoes for 6 to 8 min, until soft. Allow to cool slightly, then scoop out the inside into a food processor and whizz until smooth. Add the beetroot, breadcrumbs, mixed grains and onion mixture; pulse until well combined, but coarse.
- Divide into 6 and shape into burgers. Coat each one in quinoa and brush with oil. Cook on a hot braai, until golden, crisp and piping hot.
- To serve, fill each of the buns with some vegan mayonnaise, rocket, a patty, mashed avocado, tomato and some fried onion bits.

The price of success? Parking is getting more expensive in Mpls.
If you don't regularly park in downtown Minneapolis, you might be surprised by what you could pay for an hour or so — or a day — of parking. The city's parking prices are edging up and figure to ramp up more.
That irritates Tom Stangler of Minneapolis who recently parked at the IDS Center garage when he had some business to get done downtown.
"Maximum is $25 but you can hit the maximum in few hours," he laughed. "Why do they have to keep jacking the rates up? To me, it's just greed."
Or just supply and demand at work, perhaps. That's what a recent survey indicated.
Parking Property Advisors, a national parking consulting firm, says the Minneapolis downtown central business district has the sixth-highest average hourly parking rate in the country, at $10, and ninth-highest daily rate, $23. There are some spots downtown where you could pay $40 or more to park for the day.
Steve Cramer, president and CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council, said parking is an issue but not a crisis. There's a parking pinch because so many businesses and people want to be downtown, he said, that's why many surface parking lots have been developed for housing or office projects, contributing to the loss of thousands of parking spaces in recent years.
"Yeah I've certainly heard of cases of a little bit of sticker shock for folks that are not in and out of downtown on a regular basis," he said. "But in many ways, it's a sign of a successful, redeveloping downtown."
The parking decline will likely continue. The huge ramp near Minneapolis City Hall and the Hennepin County Building is coming down. That'll mean the loss of about 1,000 parking spaces. Other projects will add spaces, but the city is still looking at net reductions in parking in coming years.
A 2017 city survey found Minneapolis had about 60,000 parking spaces.
Parking has not been a top priority for the city. In fact, Minneapolis has wanted to nudge people away from driving cars and toward mass transit, biking and other options. And the city prefers that buildable lots downtown go to commercial buildings and housing projects instead of parking ramps.
"I wouldn't say that we have a war on cars, as much as we have a policy of encouraging other uses," said Jason Wittenberg, manager of land use, design and preservation for the City of Minneapolis.
He said the solution to tight parking isn't to provide more parking.
In fact, the city banned construction of above-ground, stand-alone ramps from 2006 to 2017. New ramps had to be underground or combined with a transit facility.
"The more parking you add, the more vehicles are going to be on downtown streets, and the more people will be sitting in traffic for longer periods of time," Wittenberg said.
He said the city is inclined to let the market decide what happens with parking. For instance, it's not necessarily going to mandate how many parking spaces a housing project must have.
"If somebody wants to build a new condominium tower or apartment building with a couple hundred units of housing and not provide a single parking space and their lender says that's OK, we say that's OK as well," he said.
The city has its eye on a future where there may be a lot fewer cars, as autonomous vehicles spread and more people shift to mass transit and other ways of getting around.
Minneapolis is encouraging new parking garages with parking decks that aren't inclined. That would permit the ramps to be more readily adapted to other uses.
To be sure, you can park for less if you shop around or are willing to park on the edge of downtown. And there are a bunch of smartphone apps that help drivers find parking and compare prices. With some, you can even reserve and pay for spaces in advance.
Some of the apps are regional in focus. Others, national or international. Some focus on things like airports or on-street parking.
"I'd say that in the U.S. alone there are maybe even more than 20," said Mark Braibanti, director of product marketing for Inrix, a transportation analytics company. "It's a very, very crowded market right now."
Inrix gathers data about parking prices and availability worldwide and supplies that information to car manufacturers, cities and other customers such as Waze for their navigation and parking apps.
Inrix has data on more than 65,000 garages and lots in the U.S., including more than 275 in downtown Minneapolis.
Inrix gets parking prices and other details from cities, parking providers and crews who regularly go out and get information first-hand.
Braibanti says drivers don't want to just save money on parking. They want to save time, too.
"Thirty percent of urban congestion is actually caused by people searching for parking," he said. "People are more frustrated than ever so they're turning to applications like ParkMe."
That's Inrix's own parking app. In some locations, ParkMe even guides drivers to places where they have a shot at nabbing an on-street parking spot.
That guidance is now based on information Inrix gets from some 300 million cars, cellphones, delivery trucks, road sensors, parking meters and other sources. All that information is gathered — without capturing people's names or other personal information — and analyzed.
And Inrix is looking to get even smarter about finding parking. It is working on technology that can tap into the sensors in cars that help them self-park and detect nearby objects and vehicles. The idea is to use the same sensors to detect open parking spaces as vehicles drive by them.
