YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST) is the only perfect blood atonement for our sins. HE was crucified and died and arose again on the third day before witnesses as HE spilled out HIS blood so we can be forgiven. YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH (MESSIAH) is the only WAY, the TRUTH, and LIFE. No-one can go to THE HEAVENLY FATHER YAHUVEH except through the SON YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH. We celebrate HIS resurrection day for now and all eternity. Above in the animation is the actual image of the boulder that was placed in front of the tomb and is the actual tomb. When YAHUSHUA'S body rose from the dead, that boulder rolled away also. Looking forward to meeting you in Heaven. Love, Apostle Prophet Elisheva Eliyahu

Salvation has been paid in full by YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH at a VERY high price! HIS DEATH! But now HE has Risen and HE IS ALIVE!!!

The number 27 and the date 8/27 throughout the years have always been
important. They are strongly connected to the precious RUACH HA KODESH, IMMAYAH
(HOLY SPIRIT), and so many things have happened on this date or on HER number
So, on this date 8/27/2020, we are taking the time to celebrate all that has been brought forth from the RUACH HA KODESH, to remember the anointed events that have happened on this date throughout the years. Praise YAHUSHUA!
In 1996 I had the Locker 827 dream where I knew my covering was in the locker "827." (Read about it here)
I was anointed in Hawaii on August 27th 1996 where an anointing so strong came upon me for 2 and a half hours that literally made my skin peel the following day. (Read about it here)
The following year on August 27th 1997, I had a dream I was taught how to use the ROD and my young son actually saw the ROD and it was bent out of shape because of YAHUVEH'S rage. (Read about it here)
January 27 2007 I was honored to share with the world Prophecy 89 "Secrets of the RUACH HA KODESH." (Click here to read Prophecy 89)
February 27 2007 I then received Prophecy 90 "What is the name of the RUACH HA KODESH?" and released this anointed Prophecy on August 27 2007. (Click here to read Prophecy 90)
ABBA YAHUVEH has extended the celebration for 30 Days! From April 4th, 2020 to
May 4th, 2020!
PRAISE ABBA YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH, and the PRECIOUS RUACH HA KODESH!
This is the HOLY TRINITY'S Ministry and we give THEM HONOR and GLORY for its
26th year. THEY are the HEAD of this Anointed Holy Ministry. For those of you
who wanted to send videos and greetings, you can send them starting from April 4
2020 to May 4 2020 as YAHUVEH has told us to celebrate for 30 days.
April 4th 2020, for 26 years this ministry has been growing stronger and stronger, branching out further and further with new Prophecies, teachings and revelations to reach the 4 corners of the world for YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH, and the Precious RUACH ha KODESH's Praise Honor and Glory!
We are thrilled as we take the time to thank YAHUVEH GOD, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH
and the RUACH HA KODESH for all that THEY have done. The countless souls that
have come forth, the encouragement, the love and your prayers. Thank you to all
the Bride and Guest of YAHUSHUA our MASHIACH who
consider this Ministry a blessing.
Not only is it AMIGHTYWIND Ministry's anniversary on April 4th, it is also
Apostle Prophet Elisheva Eliyahu's birthday! Happy Happy Happy birthday beloved
Momma Elisheva from all your spiritual children across the world!!!
We celebrate this day, the birth of a Ministry and the birth of Apostle Prophet
Elisheva Eliyahu. Raised up by YAH'S Hand alone, reaching to the ends of the
Anointed to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel, leading many into YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH'S Loving Arms
Although under fire, it thrives
Although persecuted, growing increasingly.
Let us rejoice and say, "HalleluYAH! Amightywind Ministry is 26 years old this day!"
Rejoice with us this day all ye people, for our GOD YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH and the Precious RUACH HA KODESH have won the victory!
Truly MY children you face the Red Sea. Truly MY children the evil Pharaoh and the troops are behind you, but MY children just as I provided a way of escape for Moses and Children of Israel, so too I shall do it again. MY children, in the days ahead you shall see things come upon this world that will make you shake your head. And you will wonder and you will say, "Where is our YAHUVEH & YAHUSHUA today?" But keep your faith and keep your eyes on ME and you shall see—the Red Sea part once again and you shall cross over in safety— and the enemies shall be destroyed. All those that pursue you! All those that chase you! They shall be destroyed. For I AM YAHUVEH and I change not. I AM YAHUVEH, and I AM the same —today, yesterday & forever. And through MY SON YAHUSHUA'S Blood, you come boldly before the Throne, you tell ME boldly what it is you need. I tell you this day, I've given you the victory. I tell you this day! I tell you this day that nothing that the enemy intended to do would I allow to be done. I tell you, I've given you the victory —though the fight for hours with the sword of MY SPIRIT in hand. Once again, MY children, you've seen the victory. It was not an easy victory. I never promised you it would be an easy victory. When I tell you it'll be a victory, No one ever promised you it would be easy. It is true that MY yoke is easy and MY burden is light, but MY children there is a price to pay for the Anointing I have placed on all of your lives. So you eat this Passover feast—you eat it and you do not "murmur murmur" or grumble because instead you do it with a grateful heart and remember what happened with the Children of Israel. Remember the Children of Israel that wandered for 40 years. It would not have been so if they had not murmured, complained and grumbled, but I made them walk around and around in, some would say, in circles. I made them walk around and around and tested them again and again. I tell you MY children. I tell you this true. Don't murmur, don't complain, don't grumble no matter what I allow happen—to you. Instead lift your eyes up to ME. Instead give YAHUVEH & YAHUSHUA the glory. And know that I alone AM your DELIVERER! And know that alone through the Shed Blood of MY SON YAHUSHUA that you have the victory; through the Sacred Name of YAHUSHUA you alone have the victory. I have promised you this and if you will but obey, if you will incline your ear to everything I say, I tell you MY children this, you will have the victory. Remember, with a victory comes a price. Remember, there is no soldier that goes into a battle that does not feel fatigue. There is no soldier that does not at one time want to run. But remember MY children, remember this that I have promised you the victory if you will but obey. If you will but incline your ear to every word I say, if you will but stay in Holiness and live for an example for all to see —I tell you this—MY children, you and this Ministry shall see total victory. You shall see your enemies die —at MY Hand alone. You shall see your enemies run —at MY Hand alone. You shall see your enemies bow and kneel —and confess YAHUSHUA as LORD & SAVIOR. And it shall be, only, as I have decreed: The victory in MY SON YAHUSHUA'S NAME— And you will know whatever price you pay will be worth it. For I have given you the privilege to bring ME glory through your suffering —just as the Prophets of Old— when people see you stand, they will know that it is only by MY Hand that protects you and guides you —in all ways. MY children, enjoy this Passover feast that I have provided for you this day. Thank you for obeying ME. Thank you for listening. For the blessing of this Passover Prophecy was meant for others and not only for you. Tell them if they missed doing the Passover seder, even in a humble way—as long as they acknowledge ME (that I AM the same YAHUVEH that delivered the Children of Israel from the Egyptians and from the curses and the plagues that did come); Tell them, if only MY children would only do it in a humble way—and acknowledge ME, no matter what the calendar day: Where their Passover is, is where their faith will be —and where their faith is, their Passover will be.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 13:1
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1 Corinthians 14:1-19
1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:22-25
22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Acts 2:1-13
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
Acts 10:44-47
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
Acts 19:6-7
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Mark 16:18
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
I am Apostle Prophet Elisheva Eliyahu and I have been online and owned this domain for 24 years (at the start of the internet, some of you were not even born yet :D) and we are in 50 different languages. I now have been chosen to be the leader of the Asian Branch Ministry of Amightywind. It is a blessing from Heaven to be able to say. I have to be leader until Apostle Prophet Ezra comes out of agreement that he is the head leader of the ministry. He is co-leader like me and is supposed to be taking instructions from YAH as I am. There is only one head of this ministry and only one head of our lives and that is THE GOD HEAD, THE HOLY TRINITY, YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA, AND THE RUACH HA KODESH. I am so grateful as a co-leader when we minister side by side together, lead by YAHUSHUA.
Congratulations to the new Senior Associate Ministers of the Asian Branch of Amightywind Ministry!!! Jessie and Paul have been appointed and chosen to be Senior Associate Ministers of the Asian Branch of Amightywind Ministry
under me. A trusted team consisting of Jane, June, Esther and Yile will be helping them to reach the Asian people.
If you wish to write and contact me (Elisheva Eliyahu) personally through the Asian Branch of Amightywind, please write us at the official Amightywind Asian branch email:
You can also give donations directly through this website through paypal, your tithes and love offerings are appreciated and I thank you. When you scroll down you can see the english book that we are giving for donations of 15 Euros (shipping included).
I regret to say that we are not yet ready for the book to be translated into Asian languages. This has been a huge project. Thank you for your patience because you're only going to get more, not less. Pictures and some of the new prophecies will be included in the new book.
Your emails and messages will be translated by our team and sent to me. It is an honor to be able to read your emails and letters, and I will be able to reply to them through the Asian email address.
Please REMEMBER that we Do NOT use any other email address other than this email address and the contact form here on the official Amightywind website. Any other forms of contact that is not posted here on the official Amightywind Ministry website does not belong to us, but it belongs to people who are impersonating Amightywind Ministry just like on YouTube, there are thieves and impersonators who claim they are part of this Ministry. They are not. They are thieves and they are liars.
I warn you in advance please do not go to an impersonator who impersonates Amightywind Ministry. I am already trying to contact YouTube and getting the congregation to let YouTube know that Amightywind videos are being stolen and attached to an email address that is not our own. We have already had several copyright violations reported about the impostors. Enough is enough, this must stop!
Unless you are contacting us through the contact form or through the Asian Branch of this Ministry's email address, which I have given above, I urge you to not contact or write to the impersonators email address and do not visit their YouTube channel.
Thank you for heeding this warning and thank you for your prayers. For many are the afflictions of the righteous but my LORD GOD YAH shall deliver us of them all.
To the Asian Branch of the Ministry, as well as the English Branch of this Ministry. I thank you for your words of love and encouragement as you sign the guestbook even if it is in your Asian language, it will be translated. What you write in that guestbook is recorded in Heaven. If I don't meet you on earth, I look forward to meeting you in Heaven. Being the pastor of this Amightywind Ministry has not been easy, but it has been worth it for the Glory of YAHUSHUA.
With much love, Apostle Prophet Pastor Elisheva Eliyahu, also known as Momma Elisheva to my spiritual children. I am so honored to have spiritual children all over the world in 50 languages or more. Thank you for your prayers of protection and blessings on me and this Ministry.

This Ministry is an International Apostolic and Prophetic Messianic Hebrew Pentecostal Ministry. We acknowledge the day of Pentecost, with evidence of speaking in Holy tongues, Prophecies, holy
signs, wonders and miracles to those who follow YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH. We are not affiliated with the
Pentecostal Church, we are non-denominational and have a obedient and loving
relationship with our Creator Abba YAHUVEH as well as YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH the only MESSIAH
and only begotten Son of YAHUVEH.
We believe we show our love for YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH by obeying YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA, and our Precious RUACH ha KODESH and we put THEM first in our lives and love. We know there is no way to Heaven except through the saving, delivering Blood and Name of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH, and we accept HIS gift for us at Calvary. We believe YAHUSHUA took our place as a sin sacrifice and HE is the only Holy sinless human blood sacrifice that could do this.
We believe HE was born from a virgin and was crucified and died and rose from the dead on the 3rd day before witnesses and he walked the earth for 40 days and then returned to Heaven. We believe YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH has complete victory over satan and the kingdom of hell. We believe in the importance of being baptized after acceptance of YAHUSHUA as MESSIAH and repenting and turning away from sins. We believe we should live Holy lives to glorify the YAH we serve and be witnesses of HIS saving, delivering, healing, resurrection power.
We believe to be absent from the body is to be present with YAHUSHUA if we truly follow, believe and obey what YAH says in the Holy Scriptures. We encourage reading the Hebrew and Aramaic translations of the Bible as well as the so-called 'Lost Books of the Bible' that were never really lost. You will not find these books in the Bible but you will see them referred too throughout this site.
Watch therefore, and pray always, that ye
may be accounted worthy to escape all these
things that shall come to pass, and to stand
before the Son of YAHUVEH. Luke 21:36
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not
see death; and was not found, because YAHUVEH had
translated him: for before his translation he had this
testimony, that he please YAHUVEH. Hebrew 11:5
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
YAHUVEH; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mathew 7:21
Watch and be Ready! To be Forewarned is to be Forearmed!

America's greatest theologian was Jonathan Edwards. Edwards' preaching and theological writings still have a strong influence on today's church. Recently, some of our pastors were fortunate to attend an 'Expositor's Conference' in Mobile that taught about the lives of some of the reformers and puritans. Edwards, an 18th Century Puritan, was the focus of one of our sessions.
I thought it would be beneficial to share some of the influences on Edwards' life that shaped Him into a man that was 'God-enthralled' in all that he did. We all certainly want to be motivated by the 'glory of God' the way that Jonathan Edwards was.
Edwards was a remarkable thinker who was proficient in handling the Scriptures. Both his father and his grandfather pastored for nearly sixty years each. So Edwards grew up being trained in the scriptures, the Westminster Shorter Catechism and reformed theology. What a joy it is for us, as parents and grandparents, to be able to train our children in similar catechisms which are foundational to understanding biblical doctrine. Take full advantage of faithfully teaching (more…)

2. Add the Application ID to the project
Second, once created you will be able to add to this project your application ID.
You can choose Android or iOS application.
In this step you will have to provide the Package Name or Bundle ID and Application Name:
3. Download the generated json file
Once done you will have to download the google-services.json or google-services.plist file (Needs to be uploaded in Application settings -> Google Analytics):
For iOS The only difference is that there is a .plist file generated and not a json file.
Next proceed with all steps and then you can skip the last check:
It will be checked after you will integrate fully the Firebase in your app.
NOTE! Make sure to download and upload the json or plist file in separate for each app. For each application once added to Firebase you will need to generate a new json or plist file, which will include all package names or bundle IDs also the new added one. If you will use the older json or plist file it will not include the new package name or bundle ID from the new app and for it Firebase will not collect any analytics. Json and Plist file is added per project and is not created per app. It includes Firebase Analytics and Firebase Cloud Messaging information for all applications added to the current project. As a result all details for all apps from project are kept in one file. If you do add a new application after you have downloaded the json or plist file, you will need to download the latest one holding the information for your new added application. If you do add a wrong json file or plist (which does not include your app package name) the build will fail. That's why we recommend to make sure you have the latest json or plist file which will include your application package name or bundle ID.
4. Uploading the .json or .plist file
Next upload the json or plist file in Application settings -> Google Analytics. Enable the Analytics.
See screenshot for more details:
Now after submission Firebase will collect analytics data.
5. Where to view the analytics?
These details can be viewed in Firebase Console Analytics section.
In this section you will be able to see all the analytics for your application.
Also you can see statistics for page use by choosing Screen Name or Screen View in the User Engagement section.
The se details can also be viewed in Stream View mode.
You can find the Firebase Cloud Messaging tutorial here for more details about the new Firebase Push Notification system.
Consider to open a Support Ticket if you will have any issues or questions.

Who we are
Alison Edmonds and Clare Hudson lead Epic Steps Careers+, both of whom previously worked for Alliance Manchester Business School for over 15 years leading career management for MBA students. We are professional careers coaching and guidance specialists who help individuals identify and achieve career goals and ambitions. We enable individuals at early, middle and late career stages to achieve career progression or career change.
How we do this
We provide advice and guidance to help individuals transform their uniqueness into a new value proposition that fits their chosen career path. For individuals interested in leadership and social responsibility, we offer further insight into the role of leadership in career development and socially responsible strategies and behaviours at work.
We provide advice and guidance on a range of career related activities including:
CV and Cover Letter preparation
International Industry and function insights
Job Search strategy
Interview preparation including mock interviews and body language awareness
Assessment centre insight
Contract negotiation
Advice on the first 100 days in a new role
We support and encourage individuals to:
Reflect on and identify who they are
Consider futures that fit
Choose career objectives
Identify and convey their unique value proposition
Identify and support strategic actions that achieve their chosen objectives
Where relevant, reflect and develop direction in leadership style and social responsibility
"I was offered a place on a highly competitive full-time MBA Programme. Clare from Epic Steps Careers+ worked around my schedule to help me lodge a strong application for a top Business School MBA Programme. She took time out to meet me on Bank Holidays and weekends.
She guided me through the application process and helped me understand the key aspects the Admissions team were looking for in the essays. I was very pleased with her level of professionalism, knowledge and experience. Her ability to connect with me at a personal level is highly commendable and I would recommend Clare to anyone who is looking for guidance and help in submitting an MBA Application."
MBA Candidate Class 2019
With specialist knowledge of Business Schools, we also advise middle-career MBA applicants on how to:
Identify how an MBA can impact their career
Approach business schools
Maximise their value in the application and recruitment process
What we do
We work with you as individuals in person or via telephone or online platforms to provide a completely customised approach at a time and pace that meets your needs. We appreciate that normal office hours aren't always possible for people to discuss their career. We offer evening and weekend coaching and guidance sessions. We also appreciate that sometimes you need support quickly and without too much notice – such as an interview, an application or a message from a recruiter that needs action – we work hard to respond quickly and incisively to help you manage these situations effectively.
How does our fee structure work? You pay only for what you use – so if you want just 30mins, that's all you pay for. We don't believe in lump sums or fixed hours because career management is a unique journey for everyone.
Our Social Impact
Your career transition is the most important impact we make!
We believe that we can make even more impact. Epic Steps Careers+ aligns with the ethos of Epic Steps which combines careers with leadership and social responsibility. Epic Steps Careers+ is proud to support Epic Steps C.I.C. in its work with school children: Epic Steps Conferences for Children which develop awareness and values around leadership, careers and social responsibility. We believe in supporting young people to become the next generation of pioneers: a workforce of responsible decision-makers.

A number of you asked me for the beta 3 version of Salesbuilder. So here it is. I also took the opportunity to clean up the code, and improve a few things. The application is now using synchronous access to the local SQLite database (as opposed to the asynchronous data access strategy of the previous version). I also introduced a simple Data Access Object (DAO) abstraction (see the BaseDAO.as class) to make the DAOs a lot easier to write, read, and maintain. This is a nice improvement compared to the very verbose DAOs used in the previous version. I might move to the annotation-based ORM approach introduced here in a future version. Finally, the "lazy loading" strategy has been improved as well and does a better job at retrieving data as needed by the application.

Senior Assistance (Aired on December 23 & 24, 2017)
Rhinebeck Rotarians Mike Frazier and Mike Mazzarella tell RadioRotary producer Kathy Kruger about the program Rhinebeck Rotary has instituted to help senior citizens age in place. Many older Americans prefer to stay in their existing homes instead of moving into assisted-living communities or nursing homes. Sometimes the physical infirmities of aging mean that homes need to be modified for safer living; in other instances, simple tasks such as mounting storm windows in the fall have become too difficult for an aging homeowner. In Rhinebeck, NY, the Rhinebeck Community Committee on Aging recognized this problem and committee members who were also Rotarians asked their club to help. Today Rhinebeck Rotarians who are skilled in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work volunteer to solve these problems for senior citizens at no cost for materials or labor. Grab bars are installed in bathrooms and railings on stairs as needed.

In many ways, Huawei's progress from a company which started with just $5680 in a decrepit building to a global brand with annual sales of over $86 billion mirrors the city in which it was started – Shenzhen.
In just three decades, Shenzhen has transformed from a village to a towering metropolis with a reputation for innovation and being at the cutting edge of technology, earning it the nickname of the Silicon Valley of the East.
It's here that Huawei invited ProPakistani to show what enabled it to scale to this level.
Over a few days, I got to talk to the people behind Huawei's branding, the Kirin 980, EMUI 9.0, Quality Assurance and other projects like IoT and connected homes. We visited the $1.5 billion Huawei campus, saw the P20's journey from silicon wafers to a smartphone on an assembly line, and witnessed robots abusing Smartphones in the name of durability testing.
The main thing that stood out throughout the experience was Huawei's relentless focus on innovation.
"Everyone at Huawei is aware of the importance of Research & Development (R&D). We outspent Apple with over $13 billion spent on R&D last year. Out of a total of 180,000 employees, over 80,000 work on R&D," said Mr. Jerry, Director – Global Brand Partnership, Huawei CBG.
The efforts to inculcate innovation at every level have resulted in the company jumping to the number 2 spot in the list of smartphone makers in the world. Innovations like a triple camera on the P20, certified safe supercharging technology, AI-powered chipsets, and others have helped the company grow 41% annually in Q2 2018 amidst declining global smartphone shipments.
Apart from the US, where the company faces regulatory hurdles, Huawei has managed to provide a credible challenge to the duopoly of Apple and Samsung in almost every region.
The company has four major series – the Y series focused on the budget market, the Mate series for power users, the P series which combines the best tech has to offer with style and the Nova series, which is proving to be extremely popular among the younger demographic and women in particular, who make up 50% of all sales.
Interestingly, among all markets in the Middle East and Africa region, the Nova series has performed the best in Pakistan.
"Even we were caught by surprise at the strong sales in Pakistan, which surpasses estimates", said a Huawei executive while talking about the Nova series.
So how does Huawei plan to maintain momentum and catch up to Samsung?
The upcoming Mate 20 Pro is going to pave the way. The flagship will refine the P20 Pro's triple camera setup, which is still ranked as the best camera on any smartphone months after launch. It will be powered by the Kirin 980, which is the first 7nm chip in the world (Huawei announced it before Apple, an executive assured us) and it will feature significantly improved AI capabilities.
"Kirin 980 is a breakthrough chip. It features the world's first cortex-A76 architecture chipset, the world's first dual NPU design, improves performance by 20% and power efficiency by upto 58%", said Mr. Benjamin Wang, Deputy General Manager – Wireless Terminal Chipset Business Unit at Huawei CBG.
Then there are headliner features like a 6.9-inch display and a redesigned EMUI which the company promises will be simpler and more feature rich compared to vanilla Android and other skins.
"We went back to the drawing board and redesigned EMUI to be simpler and more intuitive. We've reduced the number of taps and actions it takes to get to a setting and the number of settings themselves. A huge focus has been to embrace natural design – which means we've weaved nature into the interface to instill a sense of calm and peace when using the device. Ultimately, we want to enrich and allow our users to lead balanced lives", said Mr. Ryan Lui, AVP – Software Marketing, Huawei CBG.
Topping it all off is rigorous quality control. "So that we aren't forced to recall millions of smartphones unlike our competition", said Mr. Chang, Director – Handset Quality at Huawei CBG while practically laughing out loud.
In a detailed presentation about the Nova series, Ms. Fang Fei, Vice President – Handset Business, Huawei CBG, explained how the series had struck a chord with the younger demographics and sold over 40 million units since 2016. "We want Nova series to be the ultimate device for youngsters. That means attractive designs, a great selfie experience, strong multimedia capabilities and a variety of colors to express your personal taste", she added.
Talking with Huawei executives across various divisions and seeing how the company operates, I was left with the distinct impression that its rise has been anything but accidental – and it's here to stay. Who knows, maybe in a year from now as we prepare for the Mate 30 Pro, Huawei will manage to even sneak the top spot from Samsung.

09 Sep D. Levitin: What neuroscience tells us about getting organized
Posted at 12:58h in Celebridades
We've all heard the conventional wisdom for better managing our time and organizing our professional and personal lives. But what's grounded in real evidence and what's not? In this interview, Daniel Levitin (a McGill University professor of psychology and behavioral neuroscience) explores how having a basic understanding of the way the brain works can help us think about organizing our homes, our businesses, our time and even our schools in an age of information overload.

Happy Monday!! Our Christmas Activities have begun. We are doing the 25 Days of Vlogmas on our YouTube channel, so we will have many activities going on this month.
I love making cinnamon ornaments. They smell so good! Chloe and I made a pan of them yesterday. They take 24 hours to dry and she didn't understand that. Plus she kept thinking they were cookies. LOL. She would only make 12 because she loves the 12 Days of Christmas song. She will be excited to hang them up once they are dry.
We also started our Christmas Advent book December 1st. We made a few crafts to go with Day 1 and Day 2. We are keeping our focus on Christ this season and have many homeschool activities to teach Chloe the story this month. Chloe thinks of Santa as more of a cartoon character. We haven't taught her about Santa because we want her to understand the Nativity Story. I grew up believing in Santa and I don't judge anyone who does. Chloe just doesn't understand the concept, but does understand that we celebrate Jesus Birthday on Christmas Day.
If you want to keep up with us on our YouTube channel go on over to Autism With Grace. I will continue to post about our Christmas activities on here as well. Thanks for reading our post today. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Renee Zellweger stunned the world when she showed up with her 'new' face. The actress alludes her new look to happiness and doesn't admit to having some surgery done. But is her face the only thing that changed?
Apparently not. There are speculations that the Bridget Jones star had a boob job done. What do you think? Did she have her boobies enhanced? Look at these pictures and tell us what you think by leaving a comment below.

How you doing my little glittery snowflakes?
I actually managed to do this blog on a Sunday again today, go me.
I've had another pretty good week again this week. Lots of festivities and celebrations!
The week started off with a very long lie in. Typical Steph. I can't help it okay I just don't wake up and I don't like alarms. When I eventually did drag myself out of bed, I decided to write my Christmas cards. However, a week later, I have not handed any out nor posted any. Fail!
I had a very relaxing and simultaneously painful evening attending my first yoga class for 3 months with my sister. It was great, don't get me wrong, and I have missed it... but my goodness, I was sore all over for about three days afterwards. That's what having a term's break from it does to your body. Ouch.
More Christmas-ness happened on Tuesday. My sister and I did some secret Christmas present shopping for our parents (ssssshhh don't tell anyone)...
... and then in the evening, I ticked off another thing on my '30 things to do before Christmas' list (see that blog post here: http://bit.ly/1AMbdoB). This was to go for a Christmas lights tour with my Guernsey girls! We followed that, naturally, with some fish and chips. Perfect evening.
|Sophie why are you posing on a Dolphin?
I didn't do anything on Wednesday other than go food shopping with my step-brother (well not technically but you know) ready to move into his new house. It was so much fun and tested my been-at-uni-for-3-months-so-I-can-now-do-a-food-shop skills. I think they were pretty good.
Thursday was one of those days where you have nothing but appointments and events. A jam-packed, rainy, feet hurting, 'do I really have to move from my bed today?' kind of day. It started off with a hair appointment to get those awful brunette roots to disappear -why aren't I a natural blonde?! :(
Then in the evening I went to my A Level Presentation Evening to receive my (well-earned?) A Level certificates. Massive throwback, that was! It was good to see fellow ex-students and teachers and my parents actually spoke to each other for the first time in forever so brownie points to them :-) Once home, I think I had a bacon sandwich... yep, yep I did. MY LIFE IS SO EXCITING.
My alarm went off at 6:15am on Friday morning. I haven't seen that time of day since exam time in June. True story. It was very, very difficult. But I did it for you cousin Elly! I guess you kind of have to make an effort for an 18th birthday. We flew to Exeter at 8:10am, via Jersey (ew) and arrived just before 10. I wasn't feeling too great on Friday which was a little frustrating and meant I didn't really enjoy the usually very exciting Exeter shopping trip, but by the evening when Elly, my sister Katie and I went out for dinner at Urban Burger, unsurprisingly I'd perked up a bit and I ate this bad boy without any problems.
|Burger, Bacon and Lettuce with Sweet Potato Fries. HEAVEN.
We went back to the hotel and watched Miracle on 34th Street which did one thing and one thing only... it made me wish Father Christmas was real. Think about it, how cool would that be?
On Saturday morning, we visited our cousin Pete and his wife and two little boys who are cheeky little angels. It was so lovely to see them.
We had Elly's family birthday meal at our favourite pub the White Horse Inn on Saturday night and my sausage and mash was quality.
|Elly and her birthday cake
|This is the life
We had to fly home soon after though and I've spent my evening watching my favourite childhood film A Cinderella Story (2004) and making chocolate rice crispie cakes! I'm super cool aren't I?
So that's Blogmas week 3. I can't believe I've had 3 weeks of Blogmas already! My next one will be the best though because it'll be about ACTUAL CHRISTMAS! How excited are you guys for Christmas?!?! Hope you're all organised!
Have a lovely Christmas week wonderful readers. Looking forward to seeing all your Instagram posts of pigs in blankets drowning in gravy and reading your heartfelt Facebook statuses ;)
Happy Christmas!! x

2019/05/17 new submission deadline is June 16/2019.
Originally posted as the International Conference for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Regional Development, the organisers decided to create an annual conference focusing on sustainable entrepreneurship. Margo Farnsworth and Jacques Chirazi will lead a workshop on August 28th on "Regenerative Design & Innovation for Entrepreneurs", while Alex Ralevski and Jacques Chirazi will lead "Biomimicry: From Academia to Industry" during the main part of the conference. They will also be on a panel exploring the relationship of biomimicry to entrepreneurship, education, and research. The deadline for abstracts is June 16th.
We'd like to introduce to the inaugural edition of the International Conference for Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ICSE). ICSE was founded by Dr. Lotfi Belkhir, Associate Professor and Chair of Eco-entrepreneurship at McMaster University, and it will be held on August 28-31 in Montreal, Canada. ICSE aims to redefine sustainable entrepreneurship as the mainstay of entrepreneurship, where every entrepreneur should be a sustainable entrepreneur. The theme of the conference this year is "Innovating a Carbon-Free Economy in a Thriving Planet". The conference has been designed to attract academics, sustainability practitioners, entrepreneurs and students and is by definition trans-disciplinary and welcomes participation and submission from all disciplines.
I'm strongly encouraging you to join and support this conference by submitting an abstract, a workshop proposal or a case study in one of the relevant conference topics, which include biomimicry, circular economy, design for sustainability, low carbon economy etc. Even if you don't have anything to contribute personally, I encourage you to attend and participate in this new and unique conference at its ground zero, as I believe its agenda fills a really major and urgent gap.

"I love Pastry it one of my weaknesses…..especially Puff Pastry with a gorgeous tasty filling like these…..tender Mince Beef with succulent vegetables all mixed with a lovely tasty thick gravy……mmmm!"
Serves 4
- 1 pack of Puff Pastry
- 250g Mince Beef
- 50g Frozen Peas
- 50g Fresh carrots or frozen (chopped in small pieces)
- 2 tsps of mixed herbs
- salt & pepper
- 100ml thick gravy
- 1 egg, beaten for glazing
- Pre heat oven to 200c
- In a large pan put the mince beef, mixed herbs, seasoning & brown the mince (remember to break the mince up well whilst browning).
- Whilst the mince beef is browning, unpack the pastry (always best to let the pastry breathe before unrolling from the pack, if it has been in the fridge prior to using).
- Cut the pastry into 4 equal shapes of your choice
- Once the mince beef is browned, place in the same pan the carrots & peas (I normally cook the carrots for about 5-10 mins before putting them in with the mince beef) then slowly stir in the thick gravy & mix all together. The mixture should be quite thick so that it binds together.
- Place a suitable amount on one side of your pastry leaving a gap 25mm around the edge so that they seal together, seal around the edges with a small amount of water, seal with a fork or with a pinch from your fingers or any other method of your choice.
- Place carefully on a lined baking tray (I normally use the baking paper which comes with the pastry), glaze with the egg wash & bake for 20 – 25 minutes until the pastry is golden & well risen.
"These are so quick to make……serve as a snack or with some fresh colourful vegetables as a main course, believe me you will make these time & time again…..so make & share!"

Host: Professor Qiu Wang
Abstract: Organic synthesis has been dominated by chemical reactions that are based on two-electron ionic processes, either stoichiometrically or in catalytic fashion. While one-electron radical chemistry is equally rich and has been demonstrated with a number of unique features, its application in organic synthesis has been hampered by several enduring challenges. Over the past decade, my laboratory has been in the process of formulating "Metalloradical Catalysis" (MRC) as a general concept to guide the development of fundamentally new approaches for controlling both reactivity and stereoselectivity of radical reactions. In essence, metalloradical catalysis aims for the development of metalloradical-based systems for catalytic generation of carbon- and nitrogen-centered radicals from common organic compounds without the need of radical initiators or the use of light. The subsequent reactions of the resulting organic radical intermediates, which remain covalently bonded to the metal center, can be selectively controlled by the catalyst. For achieving enantioselective radical reactions via MRC, we have developed a family of unique chiral metalloradical catalysts based on structurally well-defined Co(II) complexes of D2-symmetric chiral porphyrins with tunable electronic, steric, and chiral environments. These Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysts have been shown to be highly effective for a wide range of stereoselective organic reactions, including olefin cyclopropanation, olefin aziridination, C–H alkylation and C–H amination. Due to their distinctive radical mechanisms that involve unprecedented a-metalloalkyl and a-metalloaminyl radical intermediates, the Co(II)-based metalloradical systems enable addressing some long-standing problems in these important organic transformations.

IT security woes fuel software vendor sales
Spending on security software jumped up by 25.5% to US$52.59 million in the Gulf States in 2003 and is expected to rise by 27% in 2004. According to a new IDC study, viruses, worms, spyware and spam, the largest security threats to regional businesses are driving the sales of secure content management apps.
Spending on security software jumped up by 25.5% to US$52.59 million in the Gulf States in 2003 and is expected to rise by 27% in 2004. According to a new IDC study, viruses, worms, spyware and spam, widely considered to be the largest security threats to businesses in the Gulf are driving the sales of secure content management applications.
The research firm's new report 'Gulf States Security Software 2004-2008 Forecast and 2003 Vendor Share' covers the security software market in the Gulf States for 2003 and forecasts expenditure on security software applications through 2008.
It states that IT maturity, security awareness, and security adoption rates vary considerably across the region, which has created discrete IT security markets where holistic implementation often takes a backseat to specific threats.
"Organisations are nevertheless beginning to take a more proactive approach to IT security," says Heini Booysen, senior analyst, IDC CEMA's Software Group. "With more businesses conducting transactions online or via e-mail, continuity has become essential as disruption can result in substantial losses. In the long term, this should translate into approaches that adopt a strategic path rather than an ad-hoc path to implementation of security solutions."
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates ranked first and second in terms of overall investments in security software in the Gulf in 2003. This reflects both their size and their relative level of IT development: Saudi Arabia has the largest population base and has recently been instituting various IT and e-commerce initiatives; the UAE is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the region.
Together, these two nations accounted for more than three quarters of the market last year, with the rest of the region's countries covered in IDC's study (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar) comprising the rest.
As mentioned, secure content management (SCM) dominated the IT security market of the Gulf States in 2003, accounting for more than 60% of total revenue. This figure will drop in the coming years as demand for other security measures picks up speed. Intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment came second, firewall and VPN third, and 3A (authentication, administration, authorisation) fourth last year.
"We have seen a notable increase in intrusion detection products across the region," says Booysen. "But SCM will continue to account for the largest share of the market for the foreseeable future."
Symantec, McAfee (Network Associates), Internet Security Systems (ISS), Trend Micro and Computer Associates together accounted for 70% of spending on IT security software in the Gulf States in 2003. Nevertheless, the market was relatively diffuse, with more than 25 vendors competing for market share.
"Although the market is expanding," says Booysen, "vendors need to get actively involved in educating both channel partners and clients, especially if they want to inform users on the benefits of adopting holistic solutions. Also, as the market matures, consolidation is inevitable, and vendors that plan accordingly will have a competitive advantage."

[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.]
In Manhattan, where multimillion-dollar real estate sales are downright routine, a hedge fund tycoon has managed to set a new standard for conspicuous consumption by paying a fortune for an unfinished piece of property in the sky.
The billionaire, Kenneth C. Griffin, spent $238 million for a penthouse at 220 Central Park South that is still under construction, making it the most expensive residential sale in United States history.
What's more, in a New York tale that is not entirely uncommon, the 79-story building where Mr. Griffin's penthouse will soon exist was built after the landlord evicted dozens of middle class tenants from their rent-stabilized apartments in what was a fairly modest, white-brick building with 20 floors.
With a net worth estimated at $10 billion, Mr. Griffin, founder and chief executive of the global investment firm Citadel, is among the richest people in the world. And in recent years, Mr. Griffin has become increasingly willing to flaunt his wealth, spending lavishly on modern art, philanthropy and trophy real estate, even as income inequality is roiling the national political debate.
Twice divorced, Mr. Griffin, 50, has three children and is primarily based in Chicago, where Citadel is headquartered. Through a spokesman, Mr. Griffin declined to comment for this story.
He is a globe-trotting home buyer, leaving a trail of his pricey purchases, from a $60 million penthouse in Miami to a $122 million mansion in London.
All told, according to a person familiar with Mr. Griffin's spending, he has spent approximately $700 million on real estate and nearly as much on art.
He began collecting art more than a decade ago, acquiring works by Cézanne and Monet. In 2006, he spent $80 million on a Jasper Johns painting that he acquired from David Geffen. And in 2016, Mr. Griffin paid $500 million to acquire two paintings — a Jackson Pollock and a Willem de Kooning — this time from Mr. Geffen's foundation, in what was one of the largest-ever private art deals.
Mr. Griffin has declined to join other billionaires in a pact to donate the majority of their wealth to charity. Created by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett in 2010, the Giving Pledge has more than 150 signees.
But Mr. Griffin has given away about $700 million, according to the person familiar with his finances.
He is on the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art, which named the lobby of its new building after him. He donated $40 million to the Museum of Modern Art. Mr. Griffin and his ex-wife donated $19 million to the Art Institute of Chicago. And at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Mr. Griffin donated $16.5 million to fund the purchase of a cast of Patagotitan mayorum, the largest dinosaur ever discovered.
Mr. Griffin has also donated huge sums to educational institutions.
In 2014 he gave $150 million to Harvard University, at the time, the largest gift in the school's history. In 2017 Mr. Griffin's charity said it would donate $125 million to the University of Chicago, which would rename its influential department of economics after him. More recently, Mr. Griffin has turned his acquisitive eye toward real estate.
Fellow financiers said Mr. Griffin should be applauded for his philanthropy, rather than vilified for his spending. John W. Rogers Jr., the chief executive of Ariel Investments, who serves on the board of the University of Chicago with Mr. Griffin (as well as on the board of The New York Times Company), declined to comment on his real estate spending. "The key thing is that he's decided to be generous now," Mr. Rogers said. "Ken is a role model for the next generation of hedge fund managers."
Mr. Griffin has cited his maternal grandparents as inspiration for his philanthropy. They ran a fuel oil business in Illinois, and when some customers could not pay their bills during the winter, his grandparents would extend them credit.
The Harvard graduate made his fortune through finance. As a sophomore in 1987, Mr. Griffin began trading out of his dorm room using a fax machine, an early personal computer and the phone. Just three years later, he founded Citadel in Chicago.
The firm grew rapidly, and today Citadel, which is privately held, manages some $28 billion, trading stocks, fixed income, commodities and more.
And Mr. Griffin has proved adept at making a profit even during market turbulence. Last year, Citadel's flagship fund was up 9.1 percent, despite a difficult end of the year for most markets. In the hedge fund industry, where star managers are rewarded with outsize returns, such performance is extremely lucrative. In 2017 alone, Mr. Griffin earned some $1.4 billion, more than any other hedge fund manager, according to Institutional Investor's Alpha magazine.
Wall Street's compensations have made New York look like a Monopoly board come to life; there are so many ultraluxury residential buildings along the southern edge of Central Park that it has been nicknamed "Billionaire's Row."
[The Times's Ginia Bellafante writes about how loopholes in New York zoning laws are partly responsible for escalating real estate prices.]
That Mr. Griffin is spending so freely at a moment when populist movements are gaining momentum around the globe struck some critics as especially tone deaf.
"The plutocrats continue brazenly flaunting the excesses that have enraged much of humanity," said Anand Giridharadas, author of "Winners Take All," and a critic of wealthy philanthropists. "They're displaying very little awareness of the moment that we are in."
On Thursday, economic advisers to Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president, said that she would propose introducing a new "wealth tax" on the richest Americans.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has long pushed for a tax on millionaires earning more than a certain amount of money, but legislators in Albany have not supported that plan. On Thursday, he called for an expansion of the mansion tax. Currently, buyers of homes that sell for $1 million or more are required to pay a 1 percent tax. The tax, the mayor said, needs to be adjusted to "explicitly" target "high-value purchases" to generate extra revenue that could be used to create affordable housing.
Mr. de Blasio, who has promoted himself as a national voice against income inequality, has struggled to address the issue, which is acute in a city with a housing crisis, poverty and extreme wealth. About 79,000 people, most trapped by out-of-reach rents and low wages, are homeless, a record number, and the most of any city in the United States, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The city's dysfunctional housing authority struggles to maintain a complex of buildings that is so aging that repairs often take months or years to be completed. Even so, there are hundreds of thousands of people on the waiting list to get an authority apartment.
But on Thursday the mayor mostly criticized Mr. Trump's tax cuts, which heavily favored corporations and the wealthy.
"You look at these massive purchases. Does anyone think that these rich individuals can't afford more in taxes? They have been getting tax break, after tax break, after tax break. Before the Trump tax bill they were already experiencing unprecedented wealth and had a whole system of tax policy that was favoring them in every conceivable way," Mr. de Blasio said. "The Trump tax cuts put that on steroids."
Mr. Griffin questioned the Trump tax cuts in 2017, suggesting that they were more aggressive than what was needed to stimulate the economy. Mr. Griffin — who in 2012 said that the wealthy have "insufficient influence" in politics — has given to both Democrats and Republicans over the years, though his fiscal policies appear more closely aligned with those usually promoted by conservative lawmakers. He has called for fewer regulations and lower taxes, arguing that such moves would help the economy.
He was well-known in wealthy, philanthropic and financial communities. But Mr. Griffin is now known more widely as the man who bought the penthouse for the outrageous price.
There was nothing ostentatious about the old building, the one that was mostly demolished by 2013, save for the sought-after address and the spectacular leafy views of Central Park. It first opened in 1954.
A state law gives landlords the right to remove tenants from rent-stabilized apartments if they plan to demolish a building and erect a new one, showing proof of financing to do so. Residents received their first eviction notices in 2006. A group of tenants, calling themselves the "Save Our Homes" Association, held on for as long as possible, suing to stay, but eventually settled for an undisclosed amount.
Connie Collins, a former TV journalist who worked at WNBC, was one of the holdouts. She recalled being able to see the July 4 fireworks displays from her 12th-floor terrace. "I just hope one of his terraces doesn't get burnt from a spark because it's so far up," said Ms. Collins, 71. She said her monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment was a little over $2,000 when she moved in 2008. "It was a great time and an affordable time," she said.
Cathy Marshall was also one of the tenants in the old building who stayed as long as possible; she lived there for 36 years. She was in a rear apartment on the eighth floor, so she missed out on the scenic views, but she enjoyed being on the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the New York City Marathon. "People on your floor, if you were sick, they went down and got you soup," she said.
"I was very happy there. But change happens."

About Purvi - Sonia
We have so many great products that help us better connect with one another in many different ways, services and products that help make our lives so much more easier and convenient like ordering anything you want on amazon and it's available for you write away, getting a ride with a click of a button, getting a date swipe right or left. As great as these services are we don't really have to work for much now a days anything you want is available at our finger tips. This has also impacted us as humans and we lack few of the most basic human skills (self awareness, patience, compassion and understanding towards others) We want what we want right away and as a result we have created a hateful and mean driven culture.
My main focus is to help and contribute towards bettering humanity as a whole. So much of our lives are now on some sort of social media and although social media has it's benefits such as allowing us to better connect with one other all over the world, share information, meet new people etc. but this also has it's dark side such as allowing too much visibility of our lives to others, our self worth is based on how many likes we get, we can be openly mean and put others down and at times we are just longing to connect with people on a deeper meaningful level. Just like anything in life you must moderate as to how much you consume otherwise it will have it's own negative side effect.
Hence I am working on a mission to help the next generation of kids by creating a tool for parents to better understand and communicate with their kids and help them be more self aware, build confidence and in general help improve FamTyme in our world. I am extremely passionate about what I'm working to create and I'm looking to create a team of creative, talented, visionary people that are passionate about helping people and wanting to make a difference so we can leave this world a little better then the way we found it. If that sounds like you and you want to know more about the mission I'm working on then send me a message here or email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can schedule a meeting.

Petit manseng has captured the curiosity of many of Virginia's top winemakers. Just how integrated the grape will become to Virginia's repertoire remains to be seen, but it is off to a roaring start. "I love the grape," says Jeff White of Glen Manor Vineyards. "It is so versatile. It can be aged so long."
Originally from southwest France in the Jurançon appellation, petit manseng has likely been grown there since the mid-1500s. "There is a lot of clay in Jurançon, and humidity. It's very similar to here," says Matthieu Finot, winemaker at King Family Vineyards. Professor of Viticulture Tony Wolf (Virginia Tech) also draws parallels between France's petit manseng zone and Virginia's growing regions. "They have rain in the Jurançon, too," he says. "It's up against the Pyrenees. It's what we call a 'wet weather grape.'"
Wolf brought petit manseng from New York to Virginia in 1987 to evaluate several potential varieties that might be suited to Virginia's climate. Thirteen years later, Michael Heny and Graham Bell made a petit manseng wine at Horton Vineyards. Jennifer McCloud of Chrysalis released her petit manseng in 2002. Today, you'll find about 77 acres of petit manseng in Virginia that contribute to a wide variety of styles at many different wineries.
Walking through a vineyard, you can instantly tell there is something different about this varietal—it looks curious on the vine. The grapes barely touch one another in a loose bunch that resembles a chemistry class drawing of a molecule more than the classic bunch of grapes. In humid Virginia, this translates to airflow between each berry, which means petit manseng has a natural ability to ward off rot and mildew. The thick, strong skin also makes the fruit hearty in the vineyard, especially in poor vintages.
In Wolf's experimental block, he noted that in the cool and wet 1996 vintage, 18.1 percent of the chardonnay grapes rotted, while just 1 percent of the petit manseng grapes experienced rot. Losing 18 percent of a crop can be devastating, while a 1 percent loss is more absorbable.
Winemakers around the state echo the grape's vitality in the vineyard. "Petit manseng grows so well in Monticello. It's vigorous, with practically indestructible thick skins, plus high acid," says Rachel Stinson Vrooman of Stinson Vineyards.
Once harvested, managing the acidity of petit menseng can be a test to the craft. "Petit manseng is easy to grow, but it is more challenging for the winemaker to make something good afterwards," says Finot. Area winemakers approach the taming of the fruit in different ways.
Lovingston winemaker Riaan Rossouw uses carbonic maceration to round out the acidity; his 2014 petit manseng is a delightful example from Virginia. The wine is ever-so-slightly off-dry with a bright acidity that brings everything into a juicy balance. Light tannins from a longer skin maceration fill out the wine, and it dances on the palate before finishing long.
Michael Shaps takes an old world approach and brings the acid of petit manseng into check with a hint of skin contact and some barrel fermentation. The touch of oaky richness from the barrel ferment is a beautiful counterpoint to the acidity, and the result is an austere, dry wine that can age gracefully right alongside your bottles of red Bordeaux.
Some winemakers use the grape's natural acidity as a blending component. High-acid grapes and rich grapes have been blended throughout history to create balanced wines. White Bordeaux is an example where bright, crisp sauvignon blanc blends with buttery semillon to make a balanced wine that has richness and acidity. You'll find this same mindset in play in many of the world's most famous wine regions: In Rioja, blending in a small percentage of high-acid graciano cuts through the fruitiness of tempranillo. In most Champagne bottlings, smooth and rich pinot noir is used to temper bright chardonnay, and in the southern Rhône blending can achieve beautiful balance in both reds and whites.
Many Virginia winemakers are playing with petit manseng's usefulness for blending. Finot blends the full force of petit manseng's acidity with viognier and chardonnay to bring a brightness to King Family's 2014 Roseland white blend. At Early Mountain Vineyards, the 2014 Block 11 is a blend of petit manseng and muscat—drinking it might remind you of biting into a fresh clementine. Grace Estate adds a touch of petit manseng to vidal blanc to make its 2011 Le Gras white blend.
Petit manseng's resilience and acidity also makes it a perfect candidate for dessert wine. One of the most unique aspects of Virginia's vineyards is that just about every winery produces a dessert wine—you rarely find this in other regions of the world. As petit manseng ripens and sugar levels increase, the acid levels still stay high.
Stinson Vineyards makes a great local example, and it would also be worth seeking out a bottle of Linden's late harvest petit manseng for a world-class dessert wine that can age for years.
You will not find petit manseng in many places outside of the Jurançon and Virginia. The grape is a unique treasure that can make beautiful wines in select climates, and we're lucky that local wineries are breaking open the possibilities of petit manseng in our home state.

There's Cold—and Then There Was February 1899
January 30, 2019 in History
Snow weighed down the fronds of palm trees of Fort Myers, .
Nearly three feet of snow fell in Cape May, New Jersey, while 19 inches fell in Philadelphia and 16 in New York City and Boston. In Brooklyn, the bitter temperatures and 36 consecutive hours of snow left mail carriers so frostbitten that the postal service restricted delivery to just one round a day.
No amount of snow, though, could keep the Mardi Gras revelers in New Orleans from making their appointed rounds. The day after temperatures hit an all-time low of 7 degrees and as ice flowed down the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico, the traditional carnival and Rex parade went on as scheduled through the streets of New Orleans.
Valentine's Day saw the last of the bitter cold, and hearts began to warm along with the temperatures. Days after experiencing record cold, Washington, D.C., saw temperatures hit 61 degrees—a 77-degree swing. By February 22, the three-foot snow pack in the nation's capital had melted to mere traces.
Even with the warmer temperatures that came in the latter half of the month, February 1899 remains the second-coldest February ever recorded in the United States—behind only 1936. The geographic range of the icy temperatures, however, remains historic.
The Great Arctic Outbreak caused millions of dollars of damage to crops and cooled the economy as barge traffic stalled on the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Fish and game birds died in large numbers as did livestock that froze to death. There was a human toll as well. The U.S. Weather Bureau reported that between January 29 and February 13, 105 Americans died from avalanches and the freezing temperatures brought on by the Great Arctic Outbreak.

Bodega Bouza – Uruguay's Pinot Noir, Albariño and Riesling … better than Tannat
Categories: Bodega Bouza, Uruguay
What an amazing winery. Bouza is a boutique winery that sits 15 minutes away from Uruguayan capital Montevideo. It has 45 hectares of planted vines including 25 in Canelones. It's my third visit here since 2010 and the quality of the wines go on progressing all the time. Not only the traditional cuvées keep their quality or even improve but just in few years some new wines are rapidly showing excellence. This year it's the Riesling and the Pinot Noir that have stroke me. I have to recognize that the first Riesling of 2013 (which I tasted at Vinexpo in Bordeaux in May 2015) was not to my taste and was showing some defaults, flabby and missing structure. The 2014 is another story. It's certainly the best Riesling I have ever tasted in Uruguay and maybe across the region too. Second new surprise was the Pinot Noir from Pan de Açucar (a terroir 80 km North East of Montevideo where Bouza has planted vines). Astonishing Pinot, on the fruits, dense, savoury and harmonious. Their traditional Albariño and Chardonnay remain safe bets. I tasted the 2016 and 2015 respectively and they are both excellent. The wines made by Eduardo Boido (historic winemaker there and in the picture above) are just perfectly dimensioned, they fit to the palate, no more no less. Another interesting common thing to the red wines that I just tasted is their light freshness. They all have those crushed jammy fruit aromas with soft spices such as ginger, cinammun or white pepper but on top of that there is freshness (lighter that the one of a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon but freshness) and that bring a great finish. Here below are my notes on the wines tasted.
- Albariño 2016 – 92pts
- Riesling 2014 – 93pts
- Chardonnay 2015 – 91pts
- Tempranillo/Tannat – 89 pts
- Pinot Noir Pao de acucar 2014 – 94pts
- Merlot 2015 – 91pts
- Tannat B26 Parcela Unica 2014 – 90pts
- Monte Vi Deu 2014 – 92pts

Sixteen passengers on an American Airlines flight from Miami to Boston, were hospitalized Sunday after landing at Logan International.
The passengers were all members of a school group — 13 students and two chaperones — who had boarded the flight originally in Ecuador and stayed aboard during a layover in Miami.
According to a local Boston NBC subsidiary, the group all reportedly ate lasagna prior to the flight, and it is not believed that they became sick due to anything on the aircraft.
"A group of 16 children and chaperones, part of a 3 group of around 40, felt ill on a flight to Boston," American Airlines said in a statement. "No other passengers were ill. American requested paramedics to meet the aircraft upon arrival in Boston."
Boston EMS tweeted about the event saying:
This morning at approximately 9:20am, Boston EMS responded to Logan Airport with multiple units. A total of 13 patients were transported to MGH, all for symptoms that were minor in nature.
— Boston EMS (@BOSTON_EMS) April 21, 2019
While the Massachusetts Port Authority spokeswoman Samantha Decker did say the symptoms appear mild, the event raised some hairs on social media. "The virus has arrived," one person tweeted. "!!!" said someone else.
Airlines do have protocol for medical emergencies, and flight attendants are trained in CPR and to recognize serious medical conditions. If the situation is urgent, flights will make an emergency landing to get the passenger to immediate medical care. In this instance, the flight landed at its scheduled destination of Logan International.

Doom galore.
This is a band that is funeral to the limits: Servants of the Mist is sludge droneful entity that hails from Florida, and they mean business!
Their sound is so despondent that it makes me want to kill myself.
First track called Sadism & Suffering is a drone/dark ambient piece serving as introduction while the second song Undeserving is ultra slow and sludgy with guitar effects that resounds white noise proper, the basslines are lowest pitched and the whole song has the slowest BPM at infra-frequencies: low and slow…
Next track is noneless than a GG Allin track Commit Suicide which fits perfectly to the whole work… It's always great to hear a cover of the great GG…
Gross Knowledge of Genital Mutilation is the last one and over again they dabble with infrasound in forlorn fashion. Industrial parts in loop may occur and out of the blue the drone guitar appears to cause irritation in militant riffs just to give place to the rhythm session over again with a bass that seems it was plugged in a guitar amp… everything is so slow motion that it seems the listener is on drugs…
Gross Knowledge of Genital Mutilation is a great work in a great state of art and if you are a drone/doom/funeral buff, make your way to get this little gem of underground lore.
Gross Knowledge of Genital Mutilation is out now and it's Self Released
