The Scour outlines in the introductory shrewdness God's option for us: to make available thanksgiving for all things; to angst dynamism but the loss of God; and to cast all our item and unfavorable upon God who cares for us. In the prayer, we accelerate ask God to keep us from: disloyal fears; mortal anxieties; and clouds of this life-threatening life which sow from us the Dearest which is any undying, interminable, and which is embodied in the notable of Jesus the Christ, and which is the foundation for our ending blame and faith in God.
The author of today's Isaiah get ahead of (Isaiah 49:8-16a), whom we wait "2nd Isaiah", was the makings one of frequent deported in the Babylonian Curb of the Jews (586-c. 538) and is lettering most probably exclaim the mid-500's BCE, participating in the house of the disappearing Babylonian chief, Nabonidus. 2nd Isaiah holds out salve and consign to his institute, referring to an mysterious servant of God, most probably the Persian Cyrus II, the Brilliant, who ensuing gratis the Jewish institute to return to their home-grown. Relatively to the doubt of the exiled Jews, God has singled out this Gentile king as God's exit, God's servant, to embody any God's own "goodness" and "sympathy". "I control answered you...I control helped you." Via Cyrus, God option "lead them...guide them". In any case, humans for instance humans, diverse of the institute are unenthused to buy Isaiah's message; some outright revolt it. Reservations, "disloyal suspicions", and "mortal anxieties" forsake to make available way in diverse hearts. "The Lady has abandoned me...over and done me."
How often don't you and I leaning stable sensations the go along with whatever thing goes wrong in our lives: the go along with our highly-flavored policy are side-tracked or hit a wall, the go along with that the lives we'd envisioned for ourselves, of cheerfulness, accomplishment, good health, abruptly lift a stubbly turn and we find ourselves moving in information we'd never control singled out for ourselves? Yet, individual as with the stark, abandoned Jewish exiles, God, expensive a mother who dutifully nurses a starving child or showers it with sympathy in the function of it hurts itself, often sends us someone(s) in our despondency, someone(s) whom we'd never control imagined or to whom we'd never bind to make happen out. "See"," God says, "I control adorned you on the palms of my hands...that's how further I cooperation." In frequent moments in the function of we be grateful for that God has, yes, not missing us abandoned we find that it becomes easier, as the spokesman of Psalm 131 says, to "still my mettle and make it blockade, expensive a child upon its mother's breast..." In the blockade of our mettle we learn to "keep on upon the Lady."
Christopher Seitz has written: "Moses cut a covenant; the servant IS a dole out." Speaking to the Christians at Corinth, St. Paul, in the second reading (1 Corinthians 4:1-5), reminds them that Jesus called them to depletion their faith as "servants" and "stewards" of Christ and of God's mysteries. In novel place, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, says that, as servants/stewards, we are called to "the ministry of merging": we're sent as "ambassadors for Christ". The job explanation for a servant/steward of God's reconciling sympathy and love, Paul says, is simple: be worthy, and don't be significant. He pertinent that he doesn't even imagine himself: whatever thing which a good matter of us, I suffer, haven't yet gotten the proliferate of! It's God, Paul says, who'll "sever the purposes of the medium" for every notable, while easily God sees the universal picture. Our indictment is simply to put off as an "spokesperson", an allowed entrust or messenger, of God: the word coming from the Normal English, the Anglo-French, and essentially the Old Higher German "ambaht" = "service". Ours is the service, in God's name, of bringing consign and salve, of restoring faith for our sisters and brothers, in the defend of angst and "mortal anxieties".
Matthew's Jesus, in the Gospel reading (Matthew 6:24-34), reinforces this focus of the other readings. Jesus' proposition, "You cannot serve God and wealth", while, can lose some of its successful severity for us if we lift the word wealth too fair and square. Anything Jesus really seems to be addressing is what someone has called "the materialistic spirit". Later than you and I aren't sunny to set our hearts tightly on God in Christ, which is what faith essentially possessions, our resultant evil manifests itself in inner item, break out and anxiety. And so we schedule ourselves to and lose ourselves in all sorts of "cram". It's very further what the exiled Jewish community did back in the 6th century BCE: "God has abandoned me.", "How're we going to get out of here?", "Can we blame this Persian guy?" The concerns of line in Jesus' time, often the exact as ours today, may lift very immediate, offensive forms: "How're we going to survive?", "Everywhere option the money come from to buy groceries?", "How can I offer to buy new clothes?", "Who'll lift cooperation of me if I become ill or in the function of I use old?" Jesus' handle, hence and now, is to meander on "today", on peeling from all our anxieties, distractions and doubts, and attaching to Jesus and the coming house of God. "...Justly your wonderful Start off knows that you habit all these cram...but conflict introductory for the house of God and God's goodness, and all these cram option be truth to you as well..." Pay consideration to your ministry of reconciling all cram in Christ, of embodying for frequent in your life God's sympathy, impartiality and love, and the rest option be taken cooperation of.
Scripture scholar Robert Hoch expresses it this way: "My manner is that limit of us control not seen the world in a very hope time-at best, we are debit through the world at the speed of a cloud, our cremation of snake creating mysterious hullabaloo and roadkill, debit super swathes of land and ways of for instance with a little very than a nod. We bind our cars, rigged with GPS, power windows, and unruly chairs are symbols of our mortal result, explanatory the abruptness of our tasks; perhaps they are revealing, but what about the hour itself, what about the land we put off in, what about the community to which we belong? Matthew's Jesus says binary, jingle and expose...Our anxiety and angst-ridden exertion are symptoms of a institute independent from what is true and what is tough and what is driving..."
"Greatest extent tepid Start off, whose option it is for us to make available thanksgiving for"all cram, to angst dynamism but the loss of you, and to cast all "our cooperation on you who cooperation for us: Formality us from disloyal"suspicions and mortal anxieties, that no clouds of this life-threatening life"may sow from us the light of that love which is undying,"and which you control manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ"our Lady... Amen."

I like the Funko Pop! toys. The sheer number of licenses alone make these toys intriguing. The design is simplistic and fun. While I did pick up Nightwing, there are so many more I would still like to get. So many more than my budget could accommodate. But then I had an idea…
This is my virtual Pop! collection. I created a shelf in Illustrator, and used the Funko promo photos of my favorite Pops. It's now my desktop wallpaper.
In case you would like to do the same (with Pops or any other toy), here's a png file of the shelf by itself. It has a transparent background.
Note: the Nightwing in this picture doesn't technically exist. I have the actual regular release of Nightwing with the blue "V". There was an exclusive version with the new 52 red coloring but I didn't like the red mask holes. So I put the head of the original Nightwing (with white mask holes) on the exclusive version.

The Columbia Business School is a place where business research and business practice come together. CBS faculty produce cutting-edge research that is influential in business circles around the world. The School helps ensure that this research is up-to-date, realistic, and relevant to business needs by engaging New York City-based businessmen and businesswomen as faculty, speakers, and program participants. MBA students benefit by gaining both a top-quality business education and access to leaders in fields across the full spectrum of business activity.
A distinctive feature of the Columbia MBA experience is the sense of community that students develop and maintain. Entering classes are divided into clusters of about 60 students. Each cluster of students goes through cocolumbia business school interviewre courses together, and its members subsequently cross paths in electives and through other activities. This system lays the groundwork for Columbia's renowned alumni network, which is both large and wide-spread. At last count, over 35,000 Columbia alumni were active in 42 states and 59 countries.
Here is our interview with Linda Meehan, Assistant Dean for Admissions at Columbia Business School.
How do you see the MBA program at Columbia evolving, particularly with respect to other top MBA programs?
Columbia has always had a top-notch reputation. Under Dean Hubbard, we continue to expand the strong foundation built under the guidance of our previous dean. One of Dean Hubbard's ideas at work is the concept of enhancing the relationship between theory and practice under one roof. So a key differentiator between Columbia and peer institutions is not just our New York City location, but what we do with this location.
Being in New York affords us the opportunity to bring experts into the classroom. They show the practical work that is being done in the field, and marry that with theory developed by our esteemed faculty. Our faculty generates ideas and theory, and the practitioners that we bring into the classroom apply that in a real environment. For those companies and those people who are looking for solutions to current problems, these relationships with our faculty and our students provide a unique approach. By putting these ideas to work under one roof, we offer an extraordinary learning experience through our MBA program, and we do it extraordinarily well.
Columbia puts particular emphasis on integrating overarching themes into core classes. Can you elaborate on this?
We focus on interweaving themes like ethics, entrepreneurship, and globalization throughout our coursework. We augment this with focused programming – again, our location provides phenomenal resources. We have a strong array of guest speakers and others who are directly involved in corporate governance as part of our network. This exposes our students to ethical issues in a practical way rather than in just a theoretical way.
Columbia Business School developed this integration of programming and coursework many years ago by integrating a global theme into our coursework. That was one of the ways that we have become the premier institution for international business studies.
We have also done this with entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is not just starting a business. It is also a mindset. When you study the core courses here [at Columbia], you are gaining exposure to globalization, entrepreneurship, and ethics – all with both internal and external expertise. We think this perspective is the best way to deal with these topics.
Of course, this does not mean that you cannot take specific classes in these areas. In fact, you can actually concentrate in entrepreneurship or international business. But you don't have to, as you will be exposed to them anyway since they are interwoven into your classes.
What are some examples of how you capitalize on Columbia's New York location?
A great example of this is our Executive-in-Residence program. This started at Columbia, and the fact that other schools have integrated similar programs is, obviously, a great form of flattery. This program brings in leaders from all fields and all industries [to our career services]. It is made up of 10 top-level executives who advise our career services office. So, if you are interested in investment banking, you have a past Managing Director of DLJ here. Media? You have the current CEO of InterMedia Advisors. Consulting? You have a past Managing Director from McKinsey.
Again, we capitalize on our location as part of the academic experience. Our students tap into our network on a very personal level, not just through our alumni. One of the things that is spectacular about the Columbia education is the exposure students have to CEOs and people who are running major companies and organizations worldwide.
Another example [of how we capitalize on our location] is the social venture fund. If you look at all of our centers – and there are many – and if you have an interest in the research being done by faculty there, or the activities that are coming out of the centers, you can become very involved. Last year several faculty members developed a leadership program for the New York City public school system. It was highlighted in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. This project evolved into a program that actively involved both faculty and students in its implementation. Because of our faculty's research and our location, we were able to reach out and help our community and this amazing city.
Columbia's location in one of the financial capitals of the world is clearly an attractive advantage, but New York is often associated primarily with finance. What other industries do you see large numbers of students going into?
For most top schools, you will see in the placement reports that the majority of people are going into financial services or consulting. But that is simply because those are the two industries that have valued the MBA to the greatest extent and hire so many more MBAs than other industries do.
That is not to say that our students only go into those fields. They also take jobs in marketing, media, real estate, VC, hedge funds, start-ups, healthcare, social enterprises…it is a matter of choice, and depends on their goals. Our students go pretty much where they want to go.
And remember that there are lots of different jobs in the same area. "Marketing" can mean working in financial services at American Express, or the fashion industry at Coach, at a hospital, a pharmaceutical company, or even a newspaper or television network. Our alumni are everywhere. It is a matter of choice.
Columbia has strengths outside of finance and international business – but we make no apologies for our strengths in these areas. After all, finance is the backbone of every industry and organization, and a firm grasp of that area is mandatory.
Don't choose a school because a publication or website identified a school as a "marketing school" or a "finance school." That is unfair to all schools, as we are all general management programs. Look instead at whether the institution has the programs and the coursework that you want. You choose what to focus on beyond a core curriculum. At Columbia, we are very flexible on whether you concentrate or not, and how you customize your own program.

Review: The Soft Pack @ 100 Club, May 20th.
The Soft Pack were in town last night to play a sold out headline gig at the famous 100 Club on Oxford Street. They brought Glenn Rock, New Jersey's finest Titus Andronicus along for the ride too for a mouth watering double bill.
Titus Andronicus kicked off proceedings with their brand of Pogues tinged punk rock. They seem to follow an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' approach, adopting a set formula of: loud, energetic riffing with shouty vocals, eventually giving way to front man Patrick Stickles impressive guitar noodling. His power lies in his superb beard apparently (he's only 23)! Their strongest tracks are the self promoting 'Titus Andronicus' and an English punk cover of which I'm afraid the details escape me.
Onto the main event, San Diego's The Soft Pack. Everyone by now presumably knows they used to be called The Muslims until they got sick of the attention the name brought but here is that little pearl of wisdom for you just in case. The band as The Soft Pack only have two UK EPs behind them but such is the buzz around the sets of songs contained within them that they play to a sold out crowd on a Wednesday night in London.
A brief chat with front man Matt beforehand reveals that there will be some new songs on parade this evening as well as older favourites. The beauty of a band with 3 minute or less songs at an early stage of their career is that you can pretty much get all of their songs into one 45 minute set. The only notable exception is 'Beside Myself' which inexplicably doesn't make the cut tonight. A track currently named 'A Minor' is the highlight of the new material with a great, almost Johnny Marr esque, guitar riff running through it.
The band's playing is clearly finely tuned after some relentless touring over the past year and it seems like they could perform with their eyes shut even considering that the songs are already at practically double speed to what you hear on record. The speed adds urgency but occasionally makes tracks like 'Nighlife' end before you've had a chance to get into what an excellent song it is. Even guitarist Matty seems a little unprepared for the end of the song, taking a little longer than usual to switch back to guitar from the keyboards he mans for the track.
Set closer 'Parasites', recorded as a Muslims song, is still their strongest tune for me. It's about annoyance with people riding your coattails and features lines like "I see you parasites, catching my slack.. why you got to a-a-ask more than you ear-ear-earn'. A band this good best get used to people riding their coattails or at least write some more great songs bitching about it! I think I'd prefer the latter.

Great gig. The soft pack were very good, and have a lot of great songs. Although the band of the evening for me was titus andronicus. They felt much more unique to me and had a good degree more charm. I never knew what they were going to do next and the whole half an hour was quite thrilling. The new arcade fire perhaps? Possibly. Either way, it was a fantastic night, one of the best gigs of the year. Very lucky to have had two amazing bands on one night.

Free Will (7,5 hp)
The question of whether we have free will is one of the most widely discussed in the modern philosophical debate. During this course we will examine some of the central issues in the debate: How are we to understand the concept of free will? Is free will compatible with determinism? Is free will possible in an indeterministic universe? Does moral responsibility require that we have free will?
We will study the most influential arguments for the main positions in the discussion of these questions. These include Peter van Inwagen's Consequence Argument for the incompatibility of free will and determinism, Robert Kane's account of free will in an indeterministic universe, and Harry Frankfurt's examples that aim to show that moral responsibility does not require an ability to act otherwise.
Course dates: January 25 ‒ March 14
Time and location: Mondays 10:00-12:00 during the period of January 25 – March 14 in the following locations: E355, D271, E355, E355, F247, F279, F279, E355.

I've been thinking about moving Snoke's 'Awakening' dialogue (thanks RL!) and I have an idea for it that may greatly improve more than just the logic of that theme. Not to be cryptic about the idea, but I think it will be better just to show you. Unfortunately implementation will take a bit of work so I'm just going to let this idea sit here for now like a JJ mystery box. 😃
As promised, the idea:

I may have to go back into the Restructured workfile to rework the music, since the timing could be better.
As for the 'training' line, I don't miss it, especially since TLJ all but discarded that plot point.

62. The Lost Prince by Frances Hodgson Burnett
A good few of the coming books are Librivox versions of books I read (generally many times) as a child and/or teenager. This was one of my favourite FHB novels, in many ways because it's so much less well-known than A Little Princess (although that one is the favourite), The Secret Garden or Little Lord Fauntleroy. This is far more a 'boy's book' than those, with just one woman (who's a baddie) who shows up more than once. Unfortunately, listening to it as an adult I couldn't stop thinking how dozy Marco is about things that should have been obvious (especially for a character usually portrayed as very intelligent), when as a child I think I just ignored that dopiness!
63. Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë
I'm glad I now know this book, but it isn't going to become a favourite of mine for rereading, I don't think. Perhaps I'm just in the wrong mood about it now, so long after listening to it, but I know governesses often got mistreated, and I get the picture that they were supposed to work wonders on spoilt brattish children whom they weren't allowed to discipline in any manner, and I don't think I want to revisit the story. Agnes isn't a badly drawn character, but I'd had enough of her teaching experience by the end.

The weather this weekend was amazing! We tried to take full advantage of it by doing lots of things outside. Saturday morning I went to meet another pediatrician (Bright Oaks Pediatrics) in the area because the more I thought about it the less comfortable I felt with the first one I had met with. I am so glad that I went with my gut and met another pediatrician because I absolutely loved this office and the staff. They remind me a lot of our pediatrician in Annapolis. The office is about 10 minutes or so from the townhouse and they have great hours (M-Th 7am-8pm, F 7am-5pm, Sat 9am-noon). The added plus with this office is that one of the doctors is actually a developmental pediatrician which will be great for Ryder. So the boys have an appointment May 12 with Dr. Rogers who is the developmental pediatrician. Once I got home from that meeting we all got in the car and headed to Annapolis to meet Rich & Laura to pick up the futons from a fellow AMOM. Then we came home to set up the futons and relax for a bit. Around 5pm we went to feed and walk Bandit in Millersville because Tracy & Dave were at Hershey Park all day. The boys enjoyed going back to their house and play with dog-dog. After that we had dinner, went to Safeway, and then headed home because it was getting close to bedtime for the boys.
This morning we met Ben's grandparents at a local playground which the boys had a blast at. We were there for a while and the boys enjoyed every minute of it. Zak was great at going down the big slides and climbing on all of the equipment while Ryder preferred to run around and stay close to the ground. Once we left the playground we all went to lunch at Bob Evans then we came home to lay the boys down for a nap. While they napped Ben worked on putting up a ceiling fan and I did some laundry. The boys woke up a while ago and we have been outside playing in the yard again. It now looks like it will rain so we have headed inside. Ben's grandparents might come by sometime to see the house while they are visiting in MD.
Our upcoming week consists of Ryder's intake appointment with Care Therapy (OT and Speech) on Tuesday morning in Towson and then possibly a playgroup at My Gym in Bel Air on Friday.

Eyes on the Skies
The total solar eclipse on Aug. 21 was the first to occur solely in the United States since the country was founded. It captivated the attention of tens of millions of Americans and is believed to be one of the most photographed, most shared and most tweeted event thus far in human history.
Red Hawk Fire & Security Sales Rep. from Beltsville, MD, Michael Timpano is among the many eclipse enthusiasts who traveled to points along the 3,000-mile-long, 70- mile wide swath or "path of totality" to witness the spectacle.
With 30 plus years' experience in the fire, life safety and security industry and as a life-long astronomy buff, Michael has applied his love of technology to help him see the night skies through sophisticated cameras he's attached to his powerful telescopes.
Michael observed the eclipse from an area just south of Knoxville, TN within the "path" where the eclipse lasted a brief 2 minutes thirty-eight seconds. The "path of totality" lies directly in the shadow of the moon as it passed between Earth and the sun. Beneath the moon's shadow (under cloudless skies) star gazers were able to see the sky darken, feel temperatures drop and observe the sun's atmosphere or corona—a halo of immensely hot gas invisible under normal circumstances. The eclipse crossed the entire United States in about 90 minutes, faster than the speediest jetliner.
Because the eclipse moved across thousands of miles of mostly inhabited landscapes, rather than remote wilderness or open seas, it was within sight of scientists for the duration of totality. Thus, researchers were able to be in position at various locations along the path, filmed the event and can piece together their clips to create an unprecedented 90-minute long video of the sun's corona in action.

Brazil's oil output was little changed in October compared with September as production from the country's largest offshore subsalt fields fell, erasing gains from older fields ramping up output following maintenance, the country's oil regulator said on Wednesday.
Brazil produced 3.02 million barrels a day of oil and natural gas equivalent (boepd) in the month, 0.3 percent more than the previous month, ANP said.
The figures are seen as bad news for the government of President Dilma Rousseff, which is struggling to maintain tax revenue with the economy immersed in its deepest recession in 25 years.
Production in Brazil is less than two-thirds of the more than 5 million barrels a day (bpd) her government once said Brazil would be producing by now, limiting the giant royalty payments she promised would pay for healthcare and education.
World oil prices have also fallen to seven-year lows, limiting taxes on the crude Brazil produces. Output likely fell again in November after Petrobras suffered its worst strike in 20 years.
Declines in the Lula field, operated by state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA in partnership with Britain's BG Group Plc (BRGXF) and Portugal's Galp Energia SGPS SA (GLPEY), as well as reduced output from Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RYDAF) areas negated the impact of a surge in output from Petrobras' Roncador field.
Output in the Lula field fell 5.2 percent to 331,000 bpd in October from 349,000 bpd in September, according to ANP data. Roncador rebounded, jumping to 320,000 bpd, up 26 percent from 254,000 bpd in September. The two fields have been the country's top two producers for some time.
Overall oil and natural gas output from the subsalt, an offshore region south and east of Rio de Janeiro where oil is trapped far beneath the seabed by a layer of mineral salts, fell for a second straight month, dipping 2.3 percent to 1.01 million boepd from 1.03 million boepd.
Output rose 1.5 percent from a year earlier, meaning new subsalt output is only barely keeping up with declines from the so-called old giants in the Campos Basin, which at 65 percent of Brazil's output, is still the country's most productive region.
Petrobras remained the largest producer in Brazil in October with 2.50 million boepd, or 83 percent of Brazil's total production.
BG was the No. 2 producer with 181,372 boepd, or 6 percent of production. BG's October output fell 2.7 percent from September.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has obtained an asset freeze against alleged insider traders who purchased call options in Anadarko Petroleum ahead of its $50bn agreement to be acquired by Chevron earlier this month.
The US securities regulator alleged in a court filing on Monday the traders had made $2.5m in illicit profits by buying around 1,650 out of the money call options in Anadarko between February 8 and April 1.
Anadarko and Chevron announced their agreement on April 12. Also on Monday, Anadarko said it would enter into talks with Occidental Petroleum, which had made a $55bn hostile bid.
The SEC said it did not know who the traders were because the orders to purchase the out of the money options came through accounts at foreign brokerage firms in the UK and Cyprus.
The traders purchased the options calls through accounts at Cowen International Limited and Renaissance Securities (Cyprus) Limited, according to the complaint filed in federal court in New York. Neither firm is a defendant in the case.
"The timing, size, nature, and profitability of the Defendants' trades, as well as the lack of prior history of significant Anadarko options trading in the subject accounts, make the trades at issue highly suspicious," the SEC said in the complaint.
Cowen and Renaissance Securities did not immediately return a request for comment.

ANAS Institute of Physiology is 50
Today is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of ANAS Institute of Physiology. The Institute was established on March 1, 1968 by the decision of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan on the basis of the physiology sector. This research institution, named after academician Abdulla Garaev, made a great contribution to the development of physiology and medical and biological sciences in the republic.
Since the day of activity, in addition to the fundamental research aimed at solving urgent medical and biological problems, works of the applied nature, meeting the requirements for the development of the national economy in the republic, were carried out, based on local resources. Studies on the study of physiological and clinical aspects of the impact on the human body of naphthalan oil and a number of medicinal waters gave impetus to the use and development of resort and balneological resources of Azerbaijan on a scientific basis.
In a scientific institution in the Laboratory of Occupational Pathology of the Vision Organs, under the direction of Academician Zarifa Aliyeva, new methods of treating eye diseases were discovered.
Scientists and specialists of the Institute of Physiology have studied the ecological and physiological state of fish in various water basins and coastal zones of the Caspian Sea of Azerbaijan and important results have been achieved.
Since 2015, the Institute has developed a comprehensive program of medical and biological research on the physiological and molecular genetic mechanisms of aging. At present, this multidisciplinary program is carried out within the framework of mutual cooperation between the Institute of Gerontology and Bioregulation of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, the Institute of Gerontology of the UAEEN and the Medical Center under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the participation of the Azerbaijan Medical University, Baku State University and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Today in such departments of the Institute as the Biology of Aging, Environmental Physiology and Neurobiology, research is being carried out on the following issues: "Molecular-genetic and physiological bases of aging", "The influence of environmental factors on the body: physiological mechanisms and ways of correction" and "Neurobiological foundations of plastic features of nervous processes: the participation of monoaminergic mechanisms in the regulation of adaptive processes".

Adventures in the Cold
Happy New Year! So, we have passed solstice and swapped out our old calendars, so Old Man Winter has seen fit to hit us with a vengeance! He has been a little hard on us lately, dishing out temperatures as low as -43 C. We had a snappy little cold snap that lasted several days (see below). For those who don't know, that kind of cold — anything approaching -40 — is extremely hard on vehicles and machinery.
Our fun began when we noticed how rough the car was starting, despite being plugged in. Let me offer an explanation for my southern friends and followers: "Plugging in a vehicle" actually means plugging in a heater of some sort — usually an engine block heater — which gobbles up electricity in order to attempt to keep the vehicle "warm." I know I'm overusing "quotes" and I don't care! "Warm" is a relative thing. When it's well below zero, the oil which is meant to lubricate the engine and allow it to turn freely and not grind itself into pieces gets really thick. When it's -40C, it's most jello than liquid. This makes the engine very slow to turn over and your battery has to work extra hard to get it to turn over enough times to start. it's a blast, really, to count how many times the engine will roll over before starting — I think the record for my car is 12 times. But it started! So, back to the story.
It was about -25C or so, and although the car had been plugged in, it sounded really rough starting. This led us to think there might be something wrong with the block heater. The obvious weak points are the power cord, plug in, and extension cord, but these all checked out fine. Since my husband is such a snazzy, smart guy, he tested the resistance in the circuit — seemed fine, but this isn't an indicator of power flowing, just that there is no clear break in it somewhere. A further test was needed, to check how much current was flowing. I helped by holding ends of wires from the multimeter (a device for testing circuits) to the extension cord end and the block heater plug… not the kind of thing you should EVER try to do if you don't know what you're doing! Suffice it to say, we discovered that the block heater must be dead.
Drat. Well, what can you do? Start finding out how to get a new one, or look into buying an oil pan heater instead. Oil pan heaters are easier to install than block heaters, and apparently work just as well, or even better, since they heat the oil directly and keep it from becoming jello. Mmmm! 10W-30 jello, my favourite! (Just kidding!)
Long story somewhat shortened, we couldn't get one very easily. We would have had to buy it over the phone from Yellowknife and get it shipped in by plane, or get a friend in High Level to buy one and then find someone driving north who could bring it. We brainstormed what to do… and then I remembered that I have a buddy heater! It had belonged to Peace Air, before they went out of business, and it's a great little heater. Pilots put these heaters inside the engine cowlings on planes to keep the engines warm, and they produce quite a bit of heat for their size — not as intense as a hair dryer, but not far off. The best part of all is that they are meant to operate outside, for hours, unsupervised. Perfect.
So, the trick was to figure out how to get the heat to the engine. We quickly figured it would work pretty slick to slide the heater under the car and put cardboard around the bottom of the car to keep the heat in. Well, when we got to it, we ended up making use of the plentiful firewood and piling snow around the car on the sides. We tried to position the heater directly under the oil pan, and considering that the it's not quite as cold out (only -25C) and there isn't much space below the car to heat, I think it's going to work!
So, that's just one of many adventures we had over the Christmas season! The others involve repairing a block heater plug in -25C (wearing gloves as much as possible!), a malfunctioning defrost heater (or any sort of internal heat), and a truck that wouldn't start. It might be the starter solenoid, or the starter, or maybe it just couldn't face the -40's.
This blog post is dedicated to my friend Jim, and ALL the men and women who maintain our winter roads — grader operators, plow truck drivers, sanding truck drivers, and all the other operators! You rock. I know you work hard to keep our roads passable, and believe me, we "regular motorists" appreciate it! Take care out there.
I've been back from China for about 6 days now, and although the jet lag is over, the desire to share all I experienced lingers strongly. It's hard to get a handle on it, and put words to the many things I saw. I should have kept a diary — it's quite a blur now, and I'm afraid I'm forgetting some impressions and insights already. Looking at the photos is bringing some things back, though!
Land of Paradoxes
Beijing struck me as a city of paradoxes: modern alongside ancient, narrow back streets leading to wide, fast-flowing freeways, thousands of bicycles and a few double-decked buses, modern, fashionable people and wrinkly elders, wonderfully fresh food and plastic packaging, skyscrapers and little green parks, miles and miles of hedges along the highway meridians. The only thing with no paradox is people everywhere! There are people performing jobs that we would never think of in Canada, such as bathroom attendant and freeway-edge landscapers, and a lot more garbage-pickers than we have. It seems to me that the combination of the communist government and huge population means that they can get an awful lot done in a short period of time — like building a subway — by mobilizing all those people.
Communism and capitalism collide in China. Or perhaps I should say "co-exist." While the government is communist, which involves controlling the people and industry, the country is also capitalist. It's kind of strange. Or not… there are glossy shopping centres, malls, restaurants, you-name-it, just like you might see in any city in North America. The air quality is very poor; reports from before the Olympics were not exaggerated. The picture above shows the International Terminal building, just before our plane landed, and the sky was orange. Not to be judgmental; The biggest Canadian cities, with one-fifth the number of people living in them, have their share of smog too – only everyone in Beijing calls it "fog." There's no question it's not fog – the relative humidity was nowhere near 100%. And there was a yellow dust on all the parked cars in the mornings!
I mentioned the subway… here's a picture of the new subway, built for the
Olympics. It's pretty snazzy, with glass all along the subway tunnel, to prevent people from jumping (or falling) in front of the train. Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, they didn't account for the crowds and pushing, because people have died when they were pushed so much and caught between those double-doors. Both sets close, train starts moving… it's not pretty. I thought maybe they had sensors installed so the train couldn't move if there was anyone trapped, but our Beijing friends said nope, they didn't think of that. Or maybe just thought it would never happen. There was one occasion when we were the last people to try and squish on a train, so we decided to wait for the next one. It was equally crowded, but at least we were first to get on.
In addition to parking lots for cars, there were bicycle parking areas too! I didn't see any underground parkades, nor did I see any above ground parkades. I guess they don't need them yet; owning a vehicle is expensive, and the average person simply can't afford one. Foreigners with good jobs probably could, but then they'd have to get a Beijing driver's license… a daunting thought! Lots of people take cabs, public transit, walk or ride bicycles, or a variation on a bicycle! I saw quite a few converted into a cart with lots of cargo tied on, and I also saw strange three-wheeled trucks, with one in the front and two and an almost-normal box in the back. Narrower, maybe. There were a few different mini-vans, some narrower than ours, and not even one single pick-up truck. 🙂

This is one of the outspoken comedian's best routines. Although she occasionally rambles and forgets to finish her stories, Kathy Griffin seems completely at ease here, interacting with the enthralled audience as though this were a night out together instead of a professional comedy recording. It's precisely that approachability mixed with Hollywood insider tidbits that have always made Griffin a standout performer, not to mention her uncanny ability to deliver an entire routine seemingly without structure or planning, which gives the whole show an electrifying "anything can happen" vibe from beginning to end. Most of her stories are hilarious here, but none are better than her recounting her experiences attending former "Suddenly Susan" castmate Brooke Shields's wedding.

"We are ecstatic to have Southwyck Lanes as our home house," head coach Torrie Bartalone said. "I feel Southwyck will allow for growth and support our program to excel on the lanes. Southwyck gives us more than enough to become a successful college program."
Southwyck Lanes has hosted numerous national, state, and local tournaments. In 1997, it was the site of the PBA Senior Tour event and the PBA Professional Bowlers Tour held its World Championship there in 2001 and 2002.
"We are very proud to have been chosen to be the home center for Lourdes University's bowling teams," Sherry Gratop-Brown, owner of Southwyck Lanes said. "Torrie will take the Gray Wolves to the next level and we are very excited to be a part of Lourdes endeavor.

I must admit I do like a nice Sushi roll occasionally and it's likely that most of us have eaten the seaweed on the outside of a Sushi roll and not thought too much about its health benefits.
Seaweeds are surely one of Mother Nature's great superfoods. Growing in the oceans of the world they have access to nutrient rich water and become nutritionally condensed plants that are a plentiful source of vitamins, minerals and protein. Numerous studies have shown wide ranging health benefits for detoxification, cancer and heart disease prevention, lowering blood pressure, improving digestive function and assisting with weight loss.
6 Benefits of eating Seaweed
1. Powerful Chelating Properties:
A Canadian University study showed that sodium alginate (a derivative of Wakame seaweed) was able to bind with the radioactive chemical Strontium 90 (an extremely toxic component in nuclear fallout) and allow it to be excreted. Not really important I hear you say, unless you are living near Chernobyl or Fukushima….But more relevantly, seaweeds offer protection from a wide range of environmental toxins, chemicals and heavy metals that we are exposed to in our modern world by helping the body to chelate (by converting them into harmless salts that the body can excrete).
2. Alkalizing and detoxifying:
Cellulite sufferers and spa devotees often pay a lot of money to be wrapped up in the browny green seaweed and whilst a great external detoxifier, eating seaweed alkalises and detoxes from the inside. Green seaweeds are rich in chlorophyll which is a natural detoxifier that helps draw out bodily waste products.
3. Source of Anti-oxidants:
Seaweed is very high in lignans (these are plant substances that become phytoestrogens in the body) which in turn help block chemical estrogens that can predispose people to cancers such as breast cancer. A Harvard University paper published by Dr Jane Teas concluded that kelp consumption might be a factor in the lower rates of breast cancer in Japan.
4. Support Cardiovascular health:
A 25-year study of the longest-lived population, the Okinawans, revealed that sea vegetables were among the seven to 10 portions of fruit and vegetables they ate daily. This same population also had very low levels of cardiovascular disease, clean arteries, low cholesterol and low homocysteine. Wakame has been shown to prevent high blood pressure in animals and research from Kyoto University showed that the fibres from brown seaweed lowered blood pressure and reduced the risk of stroke in animals predisposed to cardiovascular problems.
5. High in vitamins and minerals:
Seaweed's best-known benefit is that it is an amazing source of iodine, which is critical for maintaining a healthy thyroid gland. This gland is responsible for maintaining our metabolism and weight as well as a myriad of other vital bodily functions. This mineral is often very difficult to source, particularly in Australia and New Zealand as our soils are depleted and therefore the foods grown in them are very low in iodine. High in Vitamins A and C and minerals, seaweed can contain up to 10 times more calcium than milk and 8 times as much as beef. Wakame is a great source of calcium, iodine, folate, magnesium, B vitamins and is one of the few non animal sources of vitamin B12 making it excellent for vegetarians.
6. Great for digestive health:
The same seaweed alginate has also been found by scientists at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne to strengthen gut mucus, slow down digestion and make food release its energy more slowly, plus it's also very high in fibre! A study of Japanese women showed that high seaweed intake increases the good bacteria in the gut.
Not all brands of seaweeds are equal:
When sourcing or buying seaweed, choose brands that can attest to the purity of their seaweed and buy certified organic where possible. Seaweeds will absorb the properties of the water in which they are grown, so you want to ensure that they have been grown and harvested in unpolluted waters that are pure, and free from harmful chemicals.
Adding seaweed to your diet can be a simple and tasty addition, some of the ways I like to eat it apart from Sushi , is in salads , soups and stir fries, I also keep a herb shaker filled with a mixture of Dulse, Wakame and Nori flakes to use as a seasoning for everything from salads, steamed veggies fish and rice. It's a great addition to so many foods.
I've included my families favourite recipe:
Dulse Seed crackers
1 cup Golden flax seeds (can use brown flax seeds)
1 ½ tbsp sesame seeds
3 tbsp sunflower seeds
3 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 ½ tbsp chia seeds
½ tablespoon of Dulse flakes
1 ½ teaspoon Peruvian Pink Salt
Herbs – oregano, thyme, (optional)
- Place the flaxseeds and chia seeds in a bowl, add enough filtered water to cover, then leave covered for 6-8 hours or overnight (they will soak up the water and become gelatinous).
- Place the other seeds in a bowl of filtered water for the same time. (After soaking time drain and rinse before using.)
- Add gelatinous undrained flaxseeds to the rinsed and drained seeds and place in blender with salt, dulse and any other seasonings you desire – pulse to break up seeds but don't overdo it !– you still want the seeds to be chunky.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the lined baking sheet and bake at 100C for an hour and a half.
- Turn over and bake for another hour and a half.
- Turn the heat off and let it cool inside the oven. Once cooled, break into "free form", uneven pieces (makes approximately 35) For even size crackers, score the dough with a knife before baking
Till next time :)

Shown here in a Penn Charter uniform in her junior season in high school, Brianna Butler will still be wearing number 13 this weekend. This time, it will be embossed on a Syracuse University uniform, and Butler will be starting for the Orange in an NCAA national semifinal game in Indianapolis. She is the only southeastern Pennsylvania native who will be playing in the women's Final Four, and one of only two players from the Philadelphia area to make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Butler grew up in King-of-Prussia and in the fall of 2008 she joined the freshman class at Penn Charter, where she would play three seasons of varsity basketball for the Quakers. Just a few days after the fall term of her senior year began, she transferred to Nazareth High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., where her coach in the Exodus AAU program, Robert Paschall, had just taken the helm of the school's varsity team. Highly recruited (and later named a McDonald's All-American), she had already received an offer from Syracuse.
Last weekend, in the NCAA Sweet 16 in the semifinals of the Sioux Falls Region, Butler scored 16 of her 18 total points (including four three-point field goals) in the second half as fourth-seeded Syracuse upset the number one seed, South Carolina, 80-72. In the regional finals, the slick-shooting 5'11" guard stuck another 18 on the board (this time with six three-pointers). The Orange laid waste to a seemingly resurgent Tennessee team, 89-67. In the national semifinals this Sunday Butler and Syracuse will face the University of Washington (a seven-seed like Tennessee), a team they edged, 66-62, the day after Thanksgiving.

HERITO, No. 25: Silesia
The narrative of Silesia is defined by multiplicity. It is an uneasy task to find a common denominator for regions as diverse as Lower and Upper Silesia, Cieszyn Silesia and Opole Silesia. However, this diversity of the region is more than merely a combination of its three dominating cultures: Polish, German, and Czech. Equally important contribution was made by two major Christian traditions: Catholic and Protestant. The great tragedies of the 20th century have left their mark on the region, turning it for many of its inhabitants into a land of exile, which took many years to adjust to.
In the recent issue of "Herito," the Archbishop Alfons Nossol and Aleksandra Kunce attempt to explain the phenomenon of Silesianness. Łukasz Galusek portrays Upper Silesia's adventure with modernity, while Elżbieta Rybicka and Joanna Helander discover Silesian herstories. Ewa Chojecka looks into the Pastors' Well in Bielsko, while Wojciech Browarny and Marcin Wiatr create literary guides of the region. Zofia Reznik explains why Wrocław was the New York of the People's Republic of Poland, while Maria Kobielska and Leszek Jodliński visit Silesian museums in Upper Silesia and Opava.

The awaited white paper on education has been published. The media have various things to say on it, but there seems some sensible suggestions there. Some of the media report that there will be more freedom in the curriculum but I don't get the impression this means the banal national curriculum will be scrapped.
Ofsted say that bad teachers need to be sacked! Well Duh! But of course as all the comments below various articles tell us, getting rid of bad teachers is nigh on impossible. There is a view that the unions protect bad teachers at the expense of everyone else.
Then there's the constant refrain that parents need to be more involved with their children's education. But despite the fact that under law (Ed Act Section 7) parents have the primary legal right and duty to ensure our children receive a suitable education, parents still send their children to schools where nothing much like education happens. It is made more difficult by the fact that those of us who did ever try and get to grips with what our children learned and were soon told to butt out and leave it to the "experts" and "professionals".
Anyway, I can't help thinking that Mr Gove is attacking the problem from the wrong angle.
Why are so few children able to learn in school? Why do so many leave school and have no literacy or numeracy skills and not enough social skill to get a job? Why are teachers in primary school complaining that children can't talk?
Why do, apparently intelligent young people who have a string of qualifications to their name so often come across as socially awkward, unreliable and not very sensible?
I think there are a lot of root problems that need some serious weed killer before lopping of the heads of the weeds. The root problem is that families are not caring for their children much these days, institutions are.
This is thanks to a massive push begun before Labour got their mits on power, to have both parents in work and to force single parents back into work before their children have learned to talk!
The media reports on the white paper don't even mention the role of parents as primary educators. Is this because of shoddy journalism, or is it because the paper doesn't mention parents either?

Listening to your Hajurba and Hajurma's stories can be both enthralling and fulfilling, transporting you back to their nostalgic memories.
As children we are in a hurry to grow up, but as grandparents we only want to be a part of our families' lives," my Hajurma used to say this to me, when her old age had not faulted her memories, time and again. A time when she still remembered who I was, when she recognized the people around her, when she didn't forget as much as she does now.
Sometimes, after having lunch together, she asks me, "Khana khayo?" to which my body winces because it makes me realize that aging gracefully perhaps is just a 'saying.' Because the reality is that, it is hideous at times: the deceiving memories that start to weigh in with the senses.
My Hajurma has blamed many of her guests as thieves for stealing her sweaters and her khasto
(shawl), and we can't blame her for seeing the world in that way. Perhaps it's her dreams and her old memories playing tricks with her now. And, these days, she is constantly worried about her old radio; she fears it will stop working if she doesn't play it. She loves to talk with her sons. She often laughs at herself and her craziness when she realizes her sieved memories: when she is looking for her specs, when she has it in her hands, when she is looking for daddy, when he is right in front of her.
But, there was a time when my Hajurma came to spend time with us during our school vacations. She made pickles and ate cheeseballs with me. We basked in the sun for hours, and watched Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Chandra Kanta together.
One morning, she jerked straight up when my elder sister's alarm buzzed. She started clapping her hands in the air, and when I asked, "What's wrong?" she said, "I can hear the gods, they are singing," and she went on singing, "Om Jai Jagadish Hare, Swami Jai Jagadish Hare, Bhakta Jano Ke Sankat, Daas Jano Ke Sankat, Kshan Men Door Kare, Om Jai Jagadish Hare." Later, I told her, "Hajurma, its Lunibha didi's alarm song," and we both cracked up.
There are many other stories with my Hajurma that I enjoy reminiscing about time and again. I return to some memories with her, and sometimes I just sit with her, even though she vaguely remembers my presence.
The point is: amidst the busy life we forget that our Hajurma and Hajurba just want to spend time with us. Let's return to the lovely stories of grandmothers and grandfathers, because they were the ones who once made us feel important when we were busy talking about imaginative stories.
Catching up with the four friends…
Gorkha Mani Kapali, 78, Asha Kaji Byanjankar, 62, Mehboob Khan Nepali, 63, and Asta Bir Maharjan, 55, are friends for life. They sit together on the stairs of the Bhimsen Mandir, watching passerby. Enjoying the free television of life at Patan.
"We are old men, what importance do we have now? We sit here watching life. Life has been good to us, but our age surely hasn't," they laugh.

Before you read this post, you should probably check out Kevin DeYoung's post on Jesus befriending sinners, and Jonathan Merritt's excellent response.
It's the last two sentences of DeYoung's article to which I wish to respond.
"Jesus was a friend of sinners not because he winked at sin, ignored sin,
or enjoyed light-hearted revelry with those engaged in immorality.
Jesus was a friend of sinners in that he came to save sinners and was
very pleased to welcome sinners who were open to the gospel, sorry for
their sins, and on their way to putting their faith in Him."
The first sentence, and the first clause of the second sentence? I agree.
The last part sickens me.
Because I believed that last part wholeheartedly in high school.
I've struggled with my weight since I was eight. But when I was fourteen and just starting my freshman year, the "I am fat" feelings became too much. I felt sick and freaked out and so I filled with blackened self-hatred. I couldn't take feeling like this, so humiliated and ugly and tingly all over with my gross layers of fat, so I started starving myself and over-exercising (In retrospect, I wasn't fat at all, but that didn't change how I felt or stop the nightmares in which my family turned on me for being fatter than my skinny twin sister).
But because I wholly believed Jesus didn't welcome the unrepentant (you can't serve God and mammon, right?), and I didn't have the strength to repent, I realized I would have to choose: anorexia or God.
I chose anorexia.
Sure I was going to hell (because, doesn't Hebrews 6 say I cannot turn back?), I continued on in my decision, even though my eating disorder nearly destroyed my relationship with my sister. Outwardly, all was well. I was a good girl and believed firmly in God, yet inwardly I shut Him out.
I tried to turn back. I'd be good for a week, a month. I'd talk to God again, ask for forgiveness, and as proof of my true repentance I'd stop starving myself and over-exercising. But, inevitably, the I-am-fat feelings would return, and in a moment of panic I'd choose anorexia again. And there were moments I begged for God to send someone to confront me, to love me where I was and point me back to God, for anyone to stop and ask, are you all right? But no one did, although I don't blame them since I put up a pretty good facade if I do say so myself (I was careful to maintain a figure skinny enough to draw comments but not so skinny my doctor would become alarmed or I would risk dying).
I was isolated and drowning and eventually suicidal, but I wasn't repentant because I valued my weight over God. I wasn't determined to change; I liked being 105 pounds, even though at my height, that's not healthy. So I kept my distance from God.
Two weeks before college my sister left for her school. And I was like, my twin is gone, no one can compare my to her and call me fat again. Maybe now, with the temptation to compare myself with her gone, I could truly turn back to God.
So I prayed. On my knees, to act more repentant than I felt. I didn't feel much, to be honest, only that I wanted God back even though I also wanted my ideal weight.
But something happened the next week. I caught myself over-exercising again. Normally, this was the moment I'd give up on God. But this time I felt God whisper to me that it was okay. I did not have to have my sins under control, I didn't even have to want to stop losing weight. I was welcome by Him despite my sin, even though I wasn't necessarily sorry for my sin.
The burden was no longer on me to be in the right frame of spirit and mind to be welcomed by God. It was never about me; it was about Jesus. Jesus, who loved me anyways.
I think I'll save the rest of my battle against anorexia for another post, 'cause it's kinda a long story. All I'll say for now is this:
A God who only welcomes those who want to change isn't my God. God welcomes us no matter who we are, and, maybe, we start to change when we are already in His presence.

Family Life Education is pleased to announce a new collaborative partnership with the University of Connecticut Center for Applied Research in Human Development (CARHD) for the development and delivery of an evaluation vision. The partnership began in November 2018, extends through June 2020, and is spearheaded by FLE CEO Candida Flores and UConn's Dr. Beth Russell, Associate Professor in the Center for Applied Research in Human Development. Outcomes include the development of an evaluation tool which FLE will use to measure self-efficacy.
This month, FLE began implementing the PRSISM program designed by the CARHD. PRISM, Promoting Resilience in Self-Management, is designed to promote mindfulness, self-care and stress management; FLE's first cohort in the PRISM program is a group of Latina mothers from the Hartford area. PRISM provides an introduction to stress management and mindfulness and explores topics such as soothing techniques, using calming statements, self-care, observing emotions in social context, protection against negativity and many others. The eight-session program is facilitated by FLE staff with curriculum assistance from the CARHD.
PRISM meets in the spacious confines of FLE's Louise Earle Loomis Children's Wellness Center, provides a stress-free environment and childcare is provided for mothers as needed during this time. Additional cohorts of the PRISM program will be announced throughout the year.
About the UConn Center for Applied Research in Human Development: The Center provides assistance to state and community-based agencies in the development, delivery, and evaluation of human service programs.

Set a match
to what you think you know;
to what you've been told all your life.
Smash like glass those paradigms
that shaped you in the past,
then pick up only those pieces that feel right-
just those that fit comfortably inside you-
take only what delights you-
the rest, sweep away with a broom.
They're just bones that don't serve you;
that derail and betray you;
that pull you from your true path…
Let go and let grow, my Friend:
your time, your freedom at last.

Lord what a week it's been! Pat yourself on the back. Did you send your kid to school? Start your own course of studies? Kick ass at work? Cure Cancer? I know you're dying to leave the office, classroom, whatever it is and just thank his name, blessed be he for giving you a day of rest. I'm not here to slow you down …
In honor of your tough week and a job(s) WELL DONE, or next week's upcoming "firsts" (I know some of your kids start school next week, others who have job interviews lined up, start new jobs, have project work that will take you through the weekend, your little fetuses are in gestation, or maybe some hard partying awaits) – whatever it is – I want to leave you with something light and happy.
A call the above picture "Ballet Dad." You might know him already. He's doing a plie (ugh – where are the French accents on my keyboard?). And since a picture is worth a thousand words, or laughs or tears – I'll leave you to do the rest.
Have a lovely weekend.
And P.S. Thanks Fast Company for publishing The Rise of Visual Social Media – Just a good look at how we've moved from consuming larger texts to smaller blogs, to micro blogs (140 character Twitter updates) – to consuming more visual social media. I've lately really enjoyed getting photographic updates of my friends' vacations and/or daily lives. (Or maybe this is just another sign my attention span is shot).

My favourite Mass Media
My favourite Mass Media is Internet. I usually use it every day for one or two hours, but if I have exams or a lot of homework I don't use it. I use it to listen to music, watch videos, films, and to talk with my friends, using Messenger or social networks such as Tuenti or Facebook. My favourite is Tuenti because all my friends have it, I can talk with them using the chat and I can see photos and videos that they upload. I use Internet alone, and sometimes with my friends. I think that Internet is the best Mass Media.

In what appears to be a face-saving move, the Gilgit polo team has decided to play the traditional Shandur polo festival this year, even though the responsibility of holding the event has unilaterally been assigned to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), it has been learnt.
The Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) government had boycotted the festival last year to protest K-P's claims to Shandur, which lies between Chitral and Gilgit and is home to the world's highest polo ground. This year, after claiming an equal share in organising the event, Gilgit ended the boycott.
Sources said that the issue between the two regions is not settled, but to cover-up its failure, the G-B government decided to play.
"The K-P government is unilaterally making arrangements as a deputy commissioner of K-P is in charge," said sources familiar with the matter. "Though special seats have been reserved for G-B, in reality, G-B will be participating as a guest and not a host, as was claimed by G-B," said sources privy to the development.
The local press in G-B has been covering the issue regularly for a while now, challenging the G-B government's claim that G-B is an equal organising partner.
Sadia Danish, an advisor to the chief minister, said that G-B had been given equal rights to arrange the polo festival that has been played between Chitral and G-B since colonial times, when Maj Evelyn Cobb, a British Political Agent in 1930s, was the ruler of the area.
The freestyle Shandur polo tournament attracts a large number of foreign as well as domestic tourists to the region, giving a boost to an economy that is heavily dependent on tourism. The concluding ceremony of the event is usually attended by the head of state or a prominent dignitary designated by the president of prime minister.
Terming it a success, Sadia Danish said her government had successfully negotiated with K-P and secured an equal share in organising the event. "We will have 50 per cent share in all matters including revenue," she said.
She also said that the boundary issue will be settled in six months as a high-level committee was working on it.
