[The Franciscans or Frati Minori di San Francesco were settled at Venice as early as 1227. In 1250, having by that time begged sufficient funds, they began the erection of their great church, adjoining their friary. It was completed about 1338, (by Fra Pacifico,) and dedicated to Our Lady, under the title of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. A few Doges are buried here ; but the monuments are chiefly those of great Venetians, military, naval, or administrative, and of painters or sculptors. Families were then divided into friends of the Franciscans and of the Dominicans. Bear in mind that this is a Franciscan church, and expect to find Franciscan saints and symbols.
Do not visit the Frari with this book till after you have seen San Zanipolo (Giovanni e Paolo)]
The Frari can be approached either by gondola direct, or by the steamboat to San Toma station, as before (see under San Rocco).
Externally the church, though vast, is not very interesting.
The West Front has a fine Italian Gothic doorway, surmounted by figures of the risen Christ, with the Madonna and Child, and the founder of the Order, St. Francis. The South Façade is chiefly interesting as affording a view of the lofty Campanile, erected in 1361 by Jacopo delle Massegne. High up on its West side are figures of Our Lady with the Child, and St. Francis receiving the stigmata from a six-winged crucified seraph. Beyond the campanile, again, we come to a fine doorway of a special Venetian type, the finial ending in a figure with an open book, characteristically Venetian ; below is a charming relief of Our Lady enthroned with the Child, between two adoring angels, of the school of the Massegne (about 1400). Over the other door, to the R. of this, is a figure of St. Francis.
Walk round further into the little Campo in front of the Scuola di San Rocco, in order to observe the lofty un-buttressed Apse, which, as is often the case in Venetian churches, is architecturally the most interesting portion of the building. It is probable that the traceries in these windows suggested those of the Doge's Palace. This Apse and the Chapels adjacent should be examined externally from several points of view.
Enter by the door in the South Aisle.
The interior resembles in its largeness of parts and in general plan that of San Giovanni e Paolo ; it has a Nave, simple Aisles, an Apse, and six Apsidal Chapels in line with the Apse (four at San Zanipolo). Its chief peculiarity, how-ever, is, that the Choir is placed West of the Transepts, as in Westminster Abbey and in some other northern churches.
Begin your examination of the interior in the R. or
N. Aisle.
1st altar, rococo.
Near the 1st pillar, on a Holy Water Basin, statue of Chastity bearing a lamb, by Campagna (1593).
Beyond this, modern monument to Titian, erected by Ferdinand L, (1838-52,) with the muses of Sculpture, Architecture, Painting, and Wood-carving. Titian himself is seated in the centre ; behind him, relief representing his famous picture of the Assumption, formerly the High Altar-piece of this Franciscan church and altar, Salviati, Presentation of the infant Virgin in the Temple. Beyond it, rococo monument of Almerico D'Este, general of the Republic, with his statue, (1660.)
3rd altar, statue of St. Jerome with his lion, by Alessandro Vittoria, said to be a likeness of Titian in his 98th year, and famous for its anatomical correctness. Behind it, Glory of St. Francis.
Mount the steps by the Choir. Pass three or four unimportant 16th and 17th-century monuments, and enter the R. Transept.
R. wall of Transept, early Renaissance monument of Jacopo Marcello, (1484,) by the Lombardi. The sarcophagus is borne by three crouching figures of captives : above it is the statue of Marcello himself, erect, not recumbent ; on either side, military pages. This is a fine early example of the non-recumbent, figure. (In other places, intermediate forms occur where the figure slowly raises itself on one elbow.)
Beyond it, altar-piece in three sections, by Bartolommeo Vivarini ; in the centre, Our Lady and Child ; L., St. An-drew and St. Nicolas of Myra, with the three balls ; R., St. Paul and St. Peter ; above, a Pieta, with gilt wooden adoring angels. (This altar-piece was recently removed to L. Transept.)
End wall, near door of Sacristy, ornate terra-cotta florid-Gothic monument of the " Beato " Pacifico, a Franciscan brother, and the Architect under whom this church was completed, erected (a century after his death) by his family. This is a fine specimen of Florentine terra-cotta, its over-elaborate Gothic almost merging into Renaissance, with "wild crockets." In the lunette is the Baptism of Christ; on a sarcophagus, beneath it, Faith, Hope, and Charity, in niches, with the Resurrection, and Christ in Hades ; on the finial, Our Lady and the Child ; at the sides, above, a painted Annunciation. This curious and interesting transitional work deserves careful examination.
Over the door of Me Sacristy, monument of Admiral Benedetto Pesaro, 1503, by Lorenzo Bregno and Antonio Minello the Pesari were the chief patrons of this Franciscan church. The portal itself is formed by the monument, which bears ships and other emblems of Pesaro's victories ; in the centre, the Admiral's statue ; above it, in the pediment, Our Lady and the Child ; L., Neptune (?) and R., Mars (by Baccio da Montelupo)heathen deities admitted into a Christian church.
L. of this, spirited wooden equestrian statue of a Roman prince, Paolo Savello, with stolid bourgeois features ; on the sarcophagus, Our Lady and the Child, and the usual Annunciation. In this case and others like it the recumbent figure has not only risen from the lid of the tomb, but has actually mounted on horseback.
Enter the Sacristy (closed ; the Sacristan expects a small fee).
Opposite the door, large marble reliquary, with reliefs of the Passion, of the 17th century ; good and relatively unaffected works of their bad period. In the centre, behind a curtain, beautiful *Renaissance ciborium, with charming decorative work ; relief of a Pietà, and figures of St. John the Baptist and St. Francis.
The altar- piece at the end of this Sacristy consists of an exquisite work in three panels, by Giovanni Bellini, painted in 1488. This picture (usually known as "the Frari Madonna") is perhaps the loveliest of Bellini's Madonnas. The picture is enclosed in its charming original frame, the decorative work of which is continued in the painted niche of the central panel. Our Lady sits enthroned, with a delicately soft and tender expression, in a small chapel, Iike one of those in St. Mark's, with a gold mosaic cupola. The Child on her knees stands erect and naked. At the foot are two charming little angels, playing musical instruments, their attitudes more fanciful and their clothing scantier than in earlier examples of Bellini's art. These angels are probably his most popular single figures. The whole is a sweetly mystical and celestial presentment of the Mother of God. The four stately saints on the side-panels are noble figures, but difficult to discriminate in the absence of symbols : I take them (very doubtfully) to be, L., St. Nicholas and St. Peter, R., St. Paul and St. Benedict ; but I am open to correction. The entire work is very rich and mellow in colour : gravely beautiful, and saintly in feeling.
Re-enter the main church, and proceed to examine the Apsidal Chapels.
The 1st chapel, of St. Francis, has an ugly modern altar-piece of St. Francis receiving the stigmata, which I notice here only for its importance as regards the Franciscan order ; all the symbolism of the chapel is obviously Franciscan.
2nd chapel: on the R. wall, the monument of Duccio degli Alberti, ambassador of Florence in Venice, (d. 1336.) This is the earliest tomb in Venice on which the Virtues appear, (Justice and Temperance at the sides 🙂 but it is of Florentine workmanship; otherwise it resembles the ordinary early-Gothic tombs in having the recumbent figure of the deceased on a sarcophagus, and a canopy above it. Study it as marking an epoch in the evolution of Venetian sculpture. Many later tombs are copied from it. L. wall, 14th-century tomb, usually called "the Monument of the Unknown Knight ;" it has no inscription, but presents the well-sculptured figure of a knight in hauberk and helmet, lying dead on his sarcophagus, with a dog (his crest) at his feet. Above him is a figure of St. Joseph bearing the infant Christ, towards whom the face of the figure turns. These two admirable early tombs should be carefully compared, both for architecture and symbolism, and contrasted with the bombastic tone of later monuments.
The 3rd chapel has nothing of importance.
The Apse, the internal architecture of which is rather interesting than beautiful, had formerly for its High Altar-piece Titian's Assumption of the Madonna, as is appropriate in a church dedicated to St. Mary in Glory. This famous picture, towards which the whole building once converged, is now in the Academy, and its place has been taken by an altar-piece of the same subject by Salviati, brought from the demolished church of the Servites.
R. wall of Apse, late Gothic, almost Renaissance, tomb of Doge Francesco Foscari, (d. 1457,) by Antonio Rizzo. This is a striking example of the way in which the late Gothic monuments approached the Renaissance ideals. It also shows the increased size and costliness of the later tombs. The centre of the design is occupied by the sarcophagus, supported by base trefoiled arches : on it lies the dead Doge, with solid practical unimaginative features. At his head and feet stand the four Cardinal Virtues, life-size, and becoming of immensely increased importance in the composition. The curtains above (like those of a bed) are drawn, no longer by angels, but by two pages in armour, introduced merely to show a knowledge of classical costume and of –anatomy. On the sarcophagus itself are Faith, Hope, and Charity, retaining little, if anything, of Gothic feeling. Above the curtains is a figure of Christ blessing, in a mandorla ; at the sides, a somewhat affected Annunciation ; the rampant foliage of the pediment is very un-pleasing. Altogether this tomb exhibits the last stage of decadent Gothic" the refuse of one style encumbering the embryo of another."
The L. wall is occupied by the immense early Renaissance tomb of Doge Nicolo Tron, (d. 1473,) also by Rizzo. The difference between this and the one opposite, which can so readily be compared with it, marks the change which was fast coming over Venetian art. As far as purity of design goes, Rizzo's Renaissance manner is at any rate better than his decadent Gothic. This monument is also noticeable as being one of the first which has the figure of its occupant repeated,once dead, on the sarcophagus, and once, below, as an erect living statue. I will not enumerate all the separate figures of armed pages displaying shields, the Temporal and Theological Virtues, and the host of other conventional sculptor's properties with which we are now familiar. They are hardly worth individual description. The upper portion of the tomb consists of a figure of the risen Christ, in the lunette, with an Annunciation, now conceived in true Renaissance spirit, at the sides ; it has a statue of God the Father as a finial. Sumptuous, well-worked, empty, unimpressive, The Doge himself is as dull as he is ugly : a cunning business man, with no spark of nobility.
The 1st apsidal chapel beyond the Apse has a fine early sarcophagus, with the Madonna and Child, and an Annunciation. The altar-piece, by Pordenone, represents Our Lady with the Child, and assorted Franciscan saints, (St. Francis, St. Antony of Padua, St. Louis of Toulouse, and others.)
The 2nd apsidal chapel has a gilt wooden Renaissance altar-piece by Dentone, with a wooden figure of St. John the Baptist as a penitent in the desert, by Donatello. The other figures are St. Jerome, St. Genevieve, an Annunciation, and a Resurrection. In the altar beneath repose the remains of St. Theodore, the original patron of the Republic, removed here from the Scuola di San Teodoro, near the church of San Salvatore ; nobody now seems to take much notice of him. On the L. wall of this chapel is the Renaissance monument of Melchior Trevisan, general of the Republic, (15o0,) the sarcophagus (now reduced to an uninteresting relic) forming a mere base for the statue of the general, and flanked by his pages, as supporters. This is the last stage reached by the simple sarcophagus tomb.
The 3rd apsidal chapel is that of the Milanese, belonging to the merchants of Milan established in Venice. It is naturally dedicated to the great patron saint of Milan, St. Ambrose, and has a fine altar-piece (by Alvise Vivarini and Basaiti) representing St. Ambrose enthroned in the centre, attended by other saints. Nearest to the Milanese Father are the military patron saints of hospitable Venice, St.
George and St. Theodore. On the right are the other Doctors of the Church usually associated with AmbroseSt. Gregory, St. Augustine, and St. Jerome. On the L. are an assorted group of miscellaneous saints, Sebastian, John the Baptist, and others. At the foot of the throne sit the usual musical angels. In the painted loft above is a curious Coronation of the Virgin, evidently by another hand. This very allusive altar-piece thus combines devotion to St. Ambrose, as patron saint of Milan and as Doctor of the Church, with polite recognition of Venetian hospitality, and the usual Adriatic desire to propitiate a powerful and useful plague-saint.
The L. Transept has a delicate small Gothic doorway, to the R. of the ugly Renaissance one. On its R. wall is an *altar-piece in three sections, by Bartolommeo Vivarini, still filling its original Gothic tabernacle framework,the last worthy of inspection. It has in its central panel, St. Mark enthroned, as patron of Venice, with musical angels at his feet. To the L. are St. John the Baptist, and St. Jerome holding the church of which he was the luminary; to the R., St. Paul and St. Nicholas : (St. Ambrose and St. Peter?)
Before passing down the L. Aisle, cast a glance at the carved wood stalls in the Choir, which were the seats of the Franciscan brethren in this monastery.
In the L. Aisle is a graceful small doorway, with our Lady and kneeling brethren.
The rood-screen, which shuts off the choir from the nave, is late work, unimpressive, and has the usual Crucifix, with Our Lady, St. John, the four Evangelists, and the prophets.
Opposite this screen, in the L. Aisle, is the large Chapel of the Baptistery; it contains the Font, crowned by the usual figure of St. John the Baptist, (by Sansovino.) Over this font is a handsome monument, in the style of the Massegne, with five figures of saints, whom I cannot satisfactorily identify.
The Altar-piece is also a work in sculpture by the Massegne : below (later work) in the centre, St. Peter standing; at the sides, (I think,) St. Jerome, St. John the Baptist, St. Andrew, and St. Francis or St. Antony of Padua; above, Our Lady and the Child, with four great female saints, St. Lucy with the lamp, St. Catharine with the wheel, St. Mary Magdalen with the pot of ointment, and St. Claire with the cross. (Identifications doubtful.)
The rest of this Aisle is chiefly given up to the great family of the Pesari, who were the chief patrons of the Franciscans in Venice.
Just beyond the door of the Baptistery, with its handsome arch, is the late Renaissance tomb of Bishop Jacopo Pesaro, (d. 1547.) This shows fine workmanship, and little feeling. The Bishop lies semi-erect on his sarcophagus, one of those transitional instances where the recumbent figure seems to be trying to raise itself. The bier is adorned with plaques of coloured marble and supported by two children with their feet on skulls. The canopy is characteristic of later Renaissance feeling. Good, but unpleasing.
The altar beyond this has for its altar-piece Titian's famous **Madonna of the Pesaro family. This singular picture, one of the most celebrated of its author's works, was painted for the same Bishop, Jacopo Pesaro, whose tomb we have just examined beside it. A word of explanation is necessary here. In 1501, Jacopo Pesaro, who was bishop of Paphos in Cyprus, then still a Venetian possession, was appointed by Pope Alexander VI. (Borgia) to the command of the Papal fleet in the new crusade at that time being undertaken against the Turks by Rome, Venice, and Hungary. For this occasion, Titian painted for the militant prelate a very beautiful picture, (now at Antwerp,) in which Pope Alexander VI. introduces to St. Peter the new Admiral of the Holy See. On the bishop's successful return from his naval expedition, he commissioned Titian to paint this second altar-piece as a thanksgiving for his victory. The scene is a lofty portico in a soaring church of then unexampled size, like St. Peter's at Rome. Our Lady sits en-throned with the Child near some colossal columns. Just below her sits St. Peter, reading, (at whose feet are the keys;) he is disturbed from his book and looks away to-wards the surrounding figures, as though the Holy See were diverted for the moment from its spiritual task to undertake a necessary military adventure. He gazes down benignantly, (as does also Our Lady,) upon the kneeling figure of the donor, Bishop Jacopo Pesaro himself, (on the L.)) an admirable portrait. Behind the bishop, St. George, representing the military power of Venice, and extending his arm towards the kneeling donor, holds aloft the banner of the Holy See, bearing the arms of the Borgias, surmounted by the Papal crown, and crowned above with the laurel-leaves of victory. Behind him, again, bows a captive Turk, a trophy of the fighting ecclesiastic's campaign against the Infidel. The right-hand side of the picture is occupied by the figures of St. Francis and St. Antony of Padua, who represent this Franciscan church of the Frari. Beside them kneels Benedetto Pesaro, the head of the house of Pesaro, (his tomb is in the R. transept,) with other members of his family, most of them in the crimson robes of Venetian senators, (Knights of St. Mark.) The Franciscan saints seem to commend them to Our Lady. Angels, dwindling after the wont of the time into babes, fill the upper portion of the picture. The allegorical meaning of this famous and beautiful work deserves a little study. It well exhibits the increasing importance of the portraits of the donor and his relations, who now quite throw into the shade Our Lady and the saints. A fine piece of composition, departing boldly from the old conventional symmetry : gorgeous colouring : admirable light and shade.
Beyond the Titian, and over the small door of the S. Aisle, stands the gigantic, vulgar, and ugly monument of Doge Giovanni Pesaro, (d. 1659,) by Longhena and another. This is the worst Baroque work in this church, almost equalling in pretentious vulgarity the tomb of the Valiers in San Zanipolo. The boastful character of the monument is shown, not only in its vast size, but in its theatrically gesticulating Virtues, its fly-away Faith, Hope, and Charity, its oddly startled figure of the Doge, jumping forward under the canopy of his own sarcophagus, (which is supported by very fearsome nondescript animals,) and, above all, in the four figures of captive negroes (black marble faces with white eyes) which sustain the whole. The skeletons below are in the vilest taste of their period. The bombastic Latin inscriptions, exactly paralleling the style of the tomb, state that the Doge "lived 70 years," " unlived," (not died,) "in the year 1659," and "lived again in this monument in the year 1669." A monstrous and hideous nightmare.
Beyond this is the frigidly " correct" modern tomb of the sculptor Canova, (d. 1822,) with finely-sculptured but unimpressive figures from his own design for the tomb of Titian. Its chilly classicalism, its emptiness of feeling, and its blank white spaces produce a cold effect that is eminently unpleasing.
Over the Holy Water Vessel, beyond, statue in bronze of the great local Franciscan luminary, St. Antony of Padua, by Balthazar Stella.
End wall, near the door, Renaissance tomb of Pietro Bernardo, d. 1538, by Alessandro Leopardi, a piece of very fine and delicate workmanship, wasted upon an exceedingly ugly and meaningless design. Much of the minor decoration is, however, most beautiful and graceful ; it deserves to be examined rather in detail than as a whole. Mr. Ruskin seems to me unjust in his denunciation of this and of many other fine early-Renaissance monuments.
The vast Franciscan monastery at the back of the church has been seized by Government and converted into the Public Archives.
From the little Campo in front of the church, you may cross the bridge and turn to the L. Cross another bridge, and keep along the street a little to the R. ; cross the Campo S. Stin, obliquely to the L., when one turn to the L., and one to the R., will bring you into the little Campiello di San Giovanni. Here you find the portico and remains of the once splendid Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista, where was preserved the famous relic of the Holy Cross, and whence were brought the Gentile Bellinis now in the octagonal room at the Academy. A post in front, dated 1554, has brethren of the Fraternity worshipping the Holy Cross, with the eagle, the symbol of the Evangelist ; on the sides are other symbols. The gateway is in the style of the Lombardi ; it is surmounted by the Holy Cross, with adoring angels ; in the lunette, the eagle of the Evangelist. The door and windows have fine Renaissance decoration. The court-yard has late-Gothic windows with florid finials. The rest of its architecture is early Renaissance. Over the main door is a figure of St. John ; under a lunette to the L., the Evangelist receiving the members of the Fraternity, with Our Lady and the Child above. This gate, portico, and court are a picturesque relic of what was once a very stately Guildhall. The interior only deserves a brief visit for the sake of its still handsome rooms, of its empty church, and of the pictures which once adorned it, now in the Academy.

Combine all the dry spices together in a bowl. Set aside.
Season the raw chicken with half the dry spices using resealable baggie and place in the refrigerator for ½ hour.
Place the remaining half of the seasoning mix in a separate resealable baggie with the flour and reserve for later.
After the 30 minutes has passed add the buttermilk to the spice-marinated chicken and return to refrigerator for another hour (overnight is best).
Remove the drumsticks from the buttermilk, shaking off any excess liquid. In separate batches toss to coat with the flour and spice mixture ensuring they are heavily coated.
Gently and carefully place the drumsticks into a 400°F (200°C) preheated deep fryer. Check the underside by lifting with the tongs–it should be deep golden brown. Cook the pieces about 15 minutes or until crispy and brown. To test for doneness use a thermometer and be sure it registers 165°F (77°C).
If necessary transfer them into a preheated 325°F (165°C) oven until cooked through.
Pat dry with paper towel. Transfer to a serving platter or bucket and serve immediately. This chicken even tastes great cold.
Rob's Original Fried Chicken
This is just one of the methods I use for fried chicken. Trust me if you try this you're going to play with this one forever.
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) black pepper
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) kosher salt
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) onion powder
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5 mL) paprika
- 16 chicken drumsticks
- 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
- 4 cups (1 L) buttermilk
- 4 cups (1 L) canola oil, for frying
If a deep fryer is not available use a large cast iron pan.
If you are using a cast iron pan make sure to turn the chicken as it browns and remove once done. Don't let the chicken pieces touch each other. Overcrowding will bring the temperature of the oil down and the chicken will be to greasy. Work in batches and be sure not to overfill the pan.

I've posted about this already on the steam community page and was told to send crash dumps over here.
Thanks in advance.

I tried several different things using my bamboo/wool handspun, but nothing seemed to look good. But when I finally tried this Falling Waters Scarf pattern by Bonnie Sennott, it was as if this very thing is what it was spun for. I love the way it is working out and this should be finished today. I can hardly wait to see what it looks like after another purple dye, blocking and drying. Stay tuned….

The CWHL, founded in 2007, was the first successful women's hockey league in North America and was home to world-class stars, including Natalie Spooner, Brianna Decker and Marie-Philip Poulin. None of the players and staff knew about the heartbreaking decision to fold the league until just before the press release yesterday morning.
Since then, there has been a lot of grief expressed by players, staff and fans across social media. For many of them, the biggest question is, "What now?"
Fans have been tweeting and commenting on related posts, wondering if the NHL can better support women's hockey, and if the NWHL can adopt the CWHL teams.
Here's a summary of what the leagues have said:
The league met with the CWHL in January to talk about forming one league, and they had agreed to meet again in April.
"We are sorry to know those talks will not continue," NWHL Commissioner Dani Rylan said.
But that doesn't mean there isn't the possibility that the NWHL, who just had a record-breaking season in attendance, will take matters into their own hands.
In her follow-up statement, Rylan said, "We will pursue any and all opportunities to ensure the best players in Canada have a place to play. Those conversations have started already and have quickly become a priority."
In attempts to avoid the appearance of favouring one league over the other, the NHL hasn't been as generous towards the NWHL and CWHL as people would like them to be.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman mentioned in an AP article that he is hesitant about helping the CWHL and NWHL because the NHL doesn't believe in their models.
Bettman has said the NHL would create a women's league of its own, but only if there isn't already a women's professional league in existence in North America.
It seems the NHL won't be making a move any time soon, as the NWHL said in their statement yesterday they will open their fifth season in October.

Yet again more proof that I am no model! These are the professional shots from the Evans shape event. I actually think they turned out pretty well (which just goes to show the professional's are just that!). This dress is from the Live Unlimited range, I have to say I might not have tried this dress on, for fear of it not suiting me but having seen these shots I love it and would love to delve into my dressing up box and accessorise it like crazy! I reckon this dress would look amazing with red lips and bright accessories. However the nude and gold look is very classy too. This dress was very easy to wear, I would perhaps like another inch or two of length on the skirt just to keep my modesty when seated! I would normally be more comfortable with a lower cut top rather than having my legs on show. I felt very sexy in this dress, alas this little black number will just miss out on valentines day, but if you can be patient enough to wait until 25th of March maybe Valentines day might happen twice!

It was cut so that this effect can still be seen but although reflections and sparkle are produced that make a llively gem. Those are the things you only rarely get your hands on.

India is the "only major economy" that is projected to see a pick up in growth momentum whereas mixed trends are predicted for the developed world, Paris-based think tank OECD said today.
Most of the major economies — developed and developing — including the United States, Brazil, China and Russia, are expected to witness stable growth momentum.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said indicators point to weak growth in Europe.
The readings, for the month of September, are based on Composite Leading Indicators (CLI) that are designed to anticipate turning points in economic activity relative to trend.
"India is the only major economy where the CLI points to a pick-up in growth momentum," OECD said in a statement.
In September, CLI for India touched 99.1, the highest since May this year when it stood at 98.6. In August, the same was at 99.
Last month, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank projected 5.6 per cent growth rate for India this year, citing renewed confidence in the market due to a series of economic reforms pursued by the new government.
India's economic growth was below 5 per cent in the last two financial years. Recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) forecast Indian economy to grow at 5.5 per cent in 2014-15 and at 6.3 per cent in next financial year 2015-16.
During the April-August period of 2014-15, industrial output growth as measured by Index of Industrial Production ( IIP) was at 2.8 per cent, as against flat production in same period of the previous fiscal.
Earlier this week, Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha expressed confidence that the country's GDP growth would cross 6 per cent in the next financial year (2015-16).
OECD said that CLI points to growth losing traction in Japan even though such a trend may be related to one-off factors.
"Within the Euro area, the CLI continues to point to a loss of growth momentum, with stronger signals of a slowdown in the case of Germany and Italy.
"In France, however, the outlook continues to suggest stable growth momentum," it said.

The benefits of being able to have your construction material delivered directly to your worksite completely outweighs you having to do a store pick-up in the middle of your workday. By using any construction material delivery hartford county ct, you will be able to save valuable time, have the shipment delivered safely, and schedule future material shipping. Once you give the shipping option a try and see how much it benefits you and your bank account, you will never want to go back to picking up the items and delivering them on your own again.
Saving Time
When you are stuck picking up and delivering material on your own you will start to notice a lot of time being lost during the process. Not only do you have to take the time to drive to the material store, but you also have to sit around and wait for it to be loaded on to your flatbed. As materials need to be picked up on a regular basis, you will start losing hours at work which can become rather costly when all you had to do was contact the company to have a delivery made.
Safe Delivery
Although you may have a large flatbed truck and workers to help you load the material, not everyone is qualified and knowledgeable enough to load the material on safely and deliver it with no issues. By using a delivery service, you will have no doubts in your mind that all materials will arrive safely and on time with no glitches during the trip. Another benefit to having your materials delivered is that none of your workers will be harmed during the loading process due to their lack of knowledge on delivery services.
Once you choose a delivery service for your construction materials, you will be able to plan out other future shipment dates to make sure you always have what you need. This means if your work week gets hectic and you forget about ordering materials, you will not have to worry as they are already on their way to the job site. With most shipping companies, they will offer discounts to any returning customers which will help you save more money towards the next shipment of materials you will need. Next time you go to pick up your materials from the store, be sure to think to yourself if you want the hassle of self-shipment or the easy of fast delivery.
Running a construction site is one of the more difficult jobs in today's world as it requires a various set of skills and in-depth knowledge of the trade. By using a construction material delivery service you will be able to make your work life easier with safe shipping, fast scheduling, and time saved from not having to pick the material up yourself. Once you start using delivery service for your material needs, you will never want to go back self=pickup where all the work is done by you and your workers only.

Waiting for Christmas
Are you wasting your time or making the wait worthwhile?
by MIKE GLENN
WAITING. We spend a lot of time waiting at Christmas. We wait for family to arrive. Or if we're the ones everyone else is waiting for, we wait for the weather to break or the traffic to clear so we can get home and join our families. We can't wait until we wake up on Christmas morning and open our presents, only to have the moment disappear in an explosion of wrapping paper.
And when Christmas is over, we start waiting all over again.
Christmas is about waiting. Throughout the Christmas stories, there were a lot of people waiting. Israel was waiting for the coming of the Anointed One promised so long ago by the Father to the prophets. Simeon and Anna were waiting in the temple complex. Elizabeth and Zachariah were waiting for John's birth, and Mary and Joseph were on their way to Bethlehem to wait for Jesus' birth.
The whole world was waiting.
Now, it's our turn. We're waiting. Like Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and Zachariah, Simeon and Anna, and all the prophets before us, we're waiting for the promise of God to be kept.
And honestly, we're getting a little tired of waiting. You can't blame us. Most of us have been disappointed in our waiting. Waiting this year, waiting again this year, just makes it worse. I think when January rolls around, one of the reasons we'll tend to find the month so difficult isn't just the long, dark days of winter, but the disappointment of realizing that once more, Christmas has come and gone. We think our lives should be changed.
They're not.
So we'll start the new year just as we ended the last one … waiting.
The difference is, year after year, the waiting becomes a little more cynical. So many promises have been made, and so few of them have been kept. We promise every year we won't get fooled this year, and every year, we end up getting fooled again.
Remember Tickle-Me-Elmo™? Elmo was a stuffed doll based on the Sesame Street® character who would giggle if a child rubbed his mid-section. For some reason, this toy became the must-have toy of the season. When Elmo was sold out in the United States, parents were flying to London to buy the toy to bring home to their children. Of course, it was only a matter of months before Elmo was lost under the bed, stuffed in the back of the closet, and then, like every toy, eventually donated to some charity. It's not just toys. It's gadgets and computers, clothes and cars — each one promising to change our lives. Not one of them ever does. You'd think we'd learn.
But can we learn? Can we figure out what we're doing wrong and why we end up so disappointed every year? I think we can if we'll learn from those who waited for the first Christmas. Remember, the world had been looking for a Savior for a long time. There were always people here and there, promising to be the one who would save Israel and make everything right in the world. The world was filled with imposters.
But Simeon waited for the Promised One. He prayed and prayed until finally, God promised Simeon he would get to see the Messiah. On the day Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple, the Spirit of God confirmed to Simeon this was the Child for whom he had been waiting.
So now, like Simeon, we wait for the promise. But the question is this: Are we waiting the way Simeon waited? Are we waiting in prayer? Are we waiting, refusing to be distracted by the shiny things of the world and determined to wait for the real deal this year?
If what you're waiting for is worth the wait, then the time isn't wasted. A couple waits nine months for the birth of their little one. When the child is born, the couple agrees the wait was worth it. A doctor works a long time for her degree, but when she's finally called "Doctor," the time was well spent.
So what are you waiting for? Something else the world promises will change your life? Or are you waiting, like Simeon, for the real thing?
Remember, if what you're waiting for is worth it, the time isn't wasted.
Only Jesus is worth the wait.

By: Dr. Aniruddha Babar
"We live in a day and age where people make it impossible for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy! You know what is not sexy? Misogyny, objectifying, labelling, comparing and body shaming! Talking about people's body's as if they're on display asking for your approval / opinion. They are not! Celebrate yourself. Celebrate others. The things that make us different from one another make us beautiful." – Ariana Grande
During my journey on this planet, I have discovered that the Man-a self-proclaimed king of Earth became his own worst enemy. Which of the species on this planet is ashamed of its own natural existence? I do not see any other example except mankind. We are ashamed of ourselves. We are ashamed of our 'body'- the temple where God is supposed to reside – the beautiful yet complex creation of nature. Modern world of technology and media continuously bombarding us with false teachings of beauty. The "unrealistic" view has again been highlighted in many advertisements, particularly from luxury fashion labels and cosmetic brands around the globe, which have been accused of having breached their social responsibility by using unhealthy looking models to capture a female audience. "The ad sends a message that if your standard of beauty deviates from what the ad suggests, and then you are 'the others'. This kind of misleading ad can subtly alter the public's idea of beauty, and it can even be damaging." Jean Kilbourne, author, filmmaker and media critic, who has been studying the feminism and advertising fields for about 40 years, agrees that advertising has gone too far to have "way too much emphasise" on the ideal standard of female beauty, which appears to be "too narrow", especially in developed countries.
Fat-shaming, colourism, breast size, pimples & cellulite-related embarrassments are harsh realities that play havoc with the self-esteem of women. Multiple studies have shown the negative impact of the media on body image. Exposure to photoshopped images of unrealistic body ideals has been linked to low self-esteem, depression, and eating disorders. We are living in the world of contradictions, imaginations and false narcissistic ideals. What or whom do we consider beautiful today? Surely there aren't really any beautiful or ugly bodies, but only beautiful or ugly individuals, or perhaps people with beautiful or ugly behaviour. Such would depend not on evaluating curves or physical traits, but rather changing our definition of beauty itself.
The Corporate World, where intercourse of factors of production happens on a regular basis to produce money…more money; has become a major factor responsible for teaching human civilization to hate their bodies. It is very surprising to see that the corporate indoctrination now has taken a form of cultural assertion. Let us take an example of 'Shaving Razors' for women which are now widely available in the market. For some people it may sound ultra-gross to talk about hairy female underarms. The history of shaving teaches us that the idea of shaving was largely unknown to women till the dawn of 20th century which was also characterized by the occurrence of First World War and simultaneously the growth of consumerism as a by-product of ultra-capitalism. It was during the beginning of 20th century first Shaving Blade for ladies was introduced. The shaving razor was widely sold throughout Europe propagating hair-less armpits and smooth legs as a sign of classic beauty. The beauty of women in our society is defined by two elements-one is the MEN and the second is-the institutions built by MEN.
Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that the beauty defined by the 'SYSTEM' would be nothing less than a conspiracy that the mighty male dominated Corporate World hatched against the Women. Similarly, other products like Fairness Cream, Vaginal Tightening Cream, Perfumes; Body Sprays teaches nothing else but body shaming which now has become an inalienable part of modern civic sense and culture. The money minted by injecting 'guilt' in the minds of people is a smartest and easiest way the money ever earned in the history of mankind.
We reject nature when we reject the natural gifts of the creator. Hygiene and Beauty are nowadays dictatorially defined by the Television Ads at the insistence of their corporate masters that criminalize sweating, natural body smell, stretch marks, lose vagina, bald heads, small boobs, large boobs, sagging boobs, man-boobs and hairy armpits-also the legs. In the quest of minting pure profits Patriarchy and Corporate manipulators have cunningly conspired together to manipulate the minds of women by injecting thoughts of shaming their own natural body, moreover, this criminal conspiracy also victimized menfolks by tapping their sexuality making them shaming/hating their own body smell, body structure as well as appearance. No doubt, for the same purpose companies need to use more and more women in their Ads to sale out their 'only-for-men'- OFM products.
In 1960's Hippi Movement started spreading all over the world. The major tagline of movement was 'Acceptance'. Hippies were known for their long hairs and un-shaved bodies. The appearance of Hippies symbolized 'Acceptance' and 'Respect' to the creation. Hippi movement was one of the largest social movements that revolted against the 'stereotypes' and 'cultural, political, social and corporate slavery'. The reason behind referring to Hippi Movement is to understand that there are far better things in world than being content in the slavery of corporate indoctrination.
Today's modern generation of 21st Century is the biggest victim of this multizillion Dollar corporate beauty scam. The true meaning of beauty that Hippi Movement tried to revive is now lost in the Tsunami of Corporate influence. Artificial Skin colour and texture, unnatural alcohol sparked body fragrance, false sense of virginity, pumped-in muscles, smooth buttery body, Boob Jobs, Nose Jobs, Hairs Jobs, artificial eye-lashes, artificially colored lips and cheeks etc; has been made as essential requirements to fit in the modern definition of 'beauty' as decided and dictated by Corporate World.
Today's generation cannot withstand the strong odour of natural sweat of body because the culture of consumerism taught them to hate that. Women are worried about their small boobs because they are constantly exposed to the definition of ideal size of boobs decided by the corporate world. Overweight men and women are taught to hate their bodies. Thin people are taught to hate their bodies. Even the stretch marks- once a sign of beauty and pride, nowadays hated by women. Men are shaving their chests. Women are tightening their Vaginas and lightening their armpits. People hate natural smell, but expect that the artificial fragrance of Chemicals will attract woman- I sometimes wonder; are our women that cheap? What insanity is this? Where are we leading to? There are better issues in world that needs to be given attention than giving unnecessary attention to something that separate us from our true existence.
Nowadays people are talking about 'intolerance'. It seems intolerance has increased in society as the quotient of patience seems to have gone down to its lowest ever level. People are made to fight with each other in the name of caste, creed, cow and religion. People are taught to judge the others on the basis of their social, political, sexual orientations. Corporate are teaching us to hate nature and love chemicals. Pharmaceutical industries are creating diseases and the cures in their laboratories. Weapon industry put its blood, sweat and soul to keep the world as insecure as possible to run their business. Undoubtedly, we are living in an era of contradictions where man is separated from a man. However, let us keep aside socio-religious-cultural-political intolerance for a while; and understand that; at least if Man tolerate, accept and respect the natural existence and choices of the other everything will be streamlined.
We have become a society of unreal expectation and images. Retouched images falsely portray young and an older woman with a sense of perfection that is beyond reach. Slim is beautiful. Fair is lovely. Sadly, these clichés still dictate the Indian mindset. In an age where media and social media are easily accessible, there is a strong emphasis on idealised beauty on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, magazines and television. When seeing celebrities and models who are thought to have 'perfect bodies', individuals start to become critical of their own bodies and succumb to the pressure of living up to somewhat unrealistic standards. Studies show that more than 90% of the women are not happy with the way they look. Psychological pressure exerted by 'Corporate Beauty Industry' has landed women and men in lunatic asylums. Experts say 'psychological invalidation is one of the most lethal forms of emotional abuse and body shaming is something more than worse you can do to a person. It kills creativity and confidence of the individual'.
Challenging all the notions and illusions of the beauty that the corporate world has created I personally declare that the human being does not have to be aesthetically pleasing; he/she does not have to be either muscular or feminine he/she deserves not to be photoshopped. He/she is human, and has blemishes. Here a human being stands, visible. This body is acceptable – pubescent, awkward, marred, scarred, and burned. You don't have to be invisible to be beautiful or handsome. We are all good enough. There is nothing wrong with our bodies. At the end, A pinch of tolerance and unconditional acceptance of mankind 'at least' to the smell of Armpits can definitely save the world from apocalypse.

Shoveling the snow is one of the annoying things that one come across in the winter season. Moving accumulated snow from the driveway on your own is a very time consuming and energy-draining task. To make your task convenient, quick and effective, we have come up with a few useful tips that you must give it a try.
Use Long Stakes Around Walkways and Driveways
In areas that experience snowfall on a regular basis, you should use large stakes around the driveway and walkways area. It is beneficial whether you are using a snowblower, shoveling the driveway on your own or hiring a snowplow firm for this job.
Hiniker is a leading company that manufacturers residential snowplow equipment in innovative designs. Hiniker Snow Plow is built to move the snow in the most effortless manner.
A Good Shovel Is All You Need
Digging snow in winter is very annoying if you do not have a good quality shovel. It is tempting you to invest in a cheaper shovel, but you will regret later because of its poor service and expensive repairs.
Spend a little more and buy a good quality shovel, preferably the one made using an aluminum blade and a heavy plastic. This will make the job quite easier for you.
It is important to understand that size does not determine the efficacy of a shovel. Large shovels can lead to stiffness in arms and back pain. For heavy snowfalls, it is best to choose a s-blade shovel. For lighter snowfalls, choose C-blade shovels.
Don't place it close to the foundation
This is a common mistake that most of the houseowners make. They do not consider when they are plowing snow. Whether they are moving snow from a deck, roof or driveway, they should avoid displacing it close to the side of the house. This will lead to issues like frozen pipes and cracks in the foundation of the home.
Be Safe
Moving snow from your driveway can turn out to be an exhausting job. It is quite difficult as you age. If you do not hire any snow removal service, then it is suggested to follow the below safety tips.
- Bend at knees. Lift with legs.
- Keep the blade near to your body as you move the snow.
- Alternate between left-hand and right-hand, so that the entire pressure is not put on one side of the body.
- Switch the grip between underhand and overhand.
- In case of heavy snowfall, try removing snow in turn. Do not attempt to clear all the snow at once.
Shovel Often
The right way to remove snow is to do it frequently. This is because the snow doesn't stop, and if you miss to remove it once, it will keep on depositing. So, you will have to work more on the next day. So, to avoid making your job hard, it is advised to shovel often.
Not learning the right way to plow the snow makes the process cumbersome. The next time when you need to plow the snow, do try these tips. It will definitely make your task simpler and easy.

Top listed sites have stated that the difference is that hot water systems are power washing and cold water systems are pressure washing.

Canonical aversive long-term memory (LTM) formation in Drosophila requires multiple spaced trainings, whereas appetitive LTM can be formed after a single training. Appetitive LTM requires fasting prior to training, which increases motivation for food intake. However, we found that fasting facilitated LTM formation in general; aversive LTM formation also occurred after single-cycle training when mild fasting was applied before training. Both fasting-dependent LTM (fLTM) and spaced training–dependent LTM (spLTM) required protein synthesis and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element–binding protein (CREB) activity. However, spLTM required CREB activity in two neural populations—mushroom body and DAL neurons—whereas fLTM required CREB activity only in mushroom body neurons. fLTM uses the CREB coactivator CRTC, whereas spLTM uses the coactivator CBP. Thus, flies use distinct LTM machinery depending on their hunger state.

On my post https://daveatherton.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/professor-simon-chapman-replies/#comments I accused Rollo as possibly being an employee of ASH Scotland, I also added tongue in cheek that "Gene Borio today, next Debs Arnott of ASH might pick up the keyboard, who knows." Ironically Rory Morrison of ASH Scotland did write back in the comments
As I work for ASH Scotland I can hopefully clarify for you that: 1) I'm not Rollo Tomasi (though I do like L.A. Confidential); 2) none of my colleagues have, as far as I'm aware, ever used that alias; and 3) if there's been an effort within my workplace to train people up to 'fight you on the web' then it's been exceptional well hidden from me.
I wouldn't think it would be logical for us to employ somebody to use an online pseudonym for the express purpose of disagreeing with you or others here or anywhere else. What would be the benefit?
As you've described your blog in an email to us previously as comments being 'vigorously encouraged', I would have thought you'd welcome dissenting opinion from everybody, even those who chose to use a pseudonym online (which people could have a whole variety of reasons for doing).
Though of course, if I *was* Rollo Tomasi, this would be exactly the kind of thing I would write…"
My reply was:
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, and with your real name and photo. To be fair I did say it was the thinnest of circumstantial evidence. I really do encourage dissent and want a polite and intellectually vigorous debate, which frankly the anti smoker movement want to deny me. My blog is entirely unmoderated, any delays are because someone has posted 3 or more URLs and is flagged up as potential spam.
Examples are ASH England blocked me from posting comments on their Facebook page, Simon Williams the Lib Dem MP and Chairman of the All Party Group on Smoking and Health where ASH are the "Secretariat" have denied me the right to offer evidence. I tried to post on Professor Stanton Glantz blog, as of yet my comments are to appear. (Washington) DC Smoke Free also censored my comments. The double standards are glaring.
I will however take this opportunity to apologise to Rollo for questioning his background. I presume he may well have a relative or loved one who may have suffered from a smoking related disease.
On the 28th June of this year I posted this "Editor-in-Chief of Lifestyle Reviews Rollo Tomassi has been mentioning the late Konrad Jamrozik's paper on "Estimate of deaths attributable to passive smoking among UK adults: database analysis." So I have acted on his suggestions as to what goes in my blog.
Rory if you like ASH Scotland can have the freedom of my blog and post an unedited and unmoderated piece of your choice, on any subject.
Notwithstanding my offer which will stand whatever the circumstances, I would like ASH Scotland, Wales and England to have a public debate on the science of passive smoking. Witnesses, cross examination recorded for the public and media. I fear my request may well be declined."
I hope we can have a full debate.

This afternoon, the World Bank's shareholders will wrap up their latest discussions about replenishing IDA's financial coffers – which provides cheap loans and grants to the world's poorest countries. The largest donors seem more or less content with the new package of policy reforms. They have agreed that IDA should focus even more on evaluating project effectiveness and have greater flexibility in dealing with the most fragile countries. Nothing particularly earth shattering – and definitely nothing sexy (even for us propeller heads). Then again, IDA is already one of the most
A version of this blog also appeared on the Huffington Post.
Back in 2004 a major new development project started in Bar-Sauri, Kenya. This Millennium Village Project (MVP) seeks to break individual village clusters free from poverty with an intense, combined aid package for agriculture, education, health, and infrastructure. The United Nations and Columbia University began the pilot phase in Bar-Sauri and have extended it to numerous village clusters in nine other countries. They hope to scale up the approach across much of Africa.
But wait: Before we consider blanketing a continent with any aid intervention, we have to know whether or not it works. For example, we have to know if different things have happened in Bar-Sauri than have happened in nearby Uranga, which was not touched by the project. And we have to know if those differences will last. This matters because aid money is scarce, and the tens of millions slated for the MVP are tens of millions that won't be spent on other efforts.
Here I discuss a new research paper that I wrote with Gabriel Demombynes of the World Bank.

The WS1000 appliance, which sits at the gateway, is designed to stop users from infecting their computers with harmful programs as a result of Web surfing, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos. The WS1000 has several features to control Web traffic. It can block Web sites that administrators don't want users to view, and it also scans Web sites for malicious code as users visit Web pages. The appliance checks against a database of Web sites to see if a site has been flagged for malicious activity. The company scans the Web for sites that look suspicious and they are added to the database every five minutes, Cluley said. The appliance is available now, priced at CDN$6,219.
