LGBTQ Statewide Summit empowers volunteers, activists and thought leaders
The summit also featured the panel discussion "Organizing for Political Change," moderated by Sebastian Rey (LGBT Community Center of New Orleans) and featuring panelists Frank Perez (LGBT+ Archives of LA), Cherry Galette (National Performance Network), Dylan Waguespack (Equity Louisiana and Louisiana Progress) and Shaena Johnson (BreakOUT!).
Nearly 70 attendees spanning spectrums of gender, sexuality, activism and leadership gathered for the inaugural LGBTQ Statewide Summit on Thursday and Friday (Oct. 13-14) and organized by Foundation for Louisiana at the Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge. Attendees participated in a range of activities tailored to both identify key issues facing the LGBTQ community and collaborate to find and implement strategic solutions.
The two-day conference included the development of a timeline to illustrate a shared history of struggle and triumph over the past four decades. They also participated in a team-building exercise called "Issues Speed Dating," in which they paired off in a series of rotating two-minute exchanges with one another and answered a question posed by the moderator, thus allowing them to get better acquainted.
The "World Cafe" series of discussions, which spanned two days, helped attendees identify key issues, data and solutions around housing & homelessness, health care, mental health, violence, right-wing attacks, community and coalition building, criminalization, education and economic opportunities. While participants gathered around tables for group discussions on a given subject, they weren't tethered to that subject and often were encouraged to move about and collaborate on different subjects. The results included, beyond the robust discussions, lists of issues, challenges and possible solutions to reduce risk in the LGBTQ communities and create more opportunities for equity.
"It's a chance to get together all of the community organizations that are working on LGBTQ issues to work collaboratively so that we can move toward developing a common agenda and create a pooled fund to support the different projects that they're working on," said Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, FFL's Associate Director for Programs and Planning, organizer of the event.
As much as the summit focused on facts, figures and data to drive much of the discussion and problem solving, there were some personal and sometimes emotional moments as well, with attendees sharing their own journeys to where and who are they are today — with a fair share of hugs, tears and even laughter.
Each day featured deeply personal poetry from performance artist and activist trice triceyy triceyydaddyy, each time evoking emotional reactions (and applause) from the audience members. (Watch the raw video of one reading here.)
"We kept this conference deliberately small, brought together people who are active already, but who maybe don't get the chance to talk to each other beyond business meetings," Gulliver-Garcia said. "By creating opportunities for them to network, to have these conversations, you create trust. And when you create trust, it means you can go deeper into the issues. And when you get deeper, that's when you start to get emotional. And I think that's good, because that's how you know you're getting to the good stuff. It makes people want to work harder to work together."
The summit also featured the panel discussion "Organizing for Political Change," moderated by Sebastian Rey (LGBT Community Center of New Orleans) and featuring panelists Frank Perez (LGBT+ Archives of LA), Cherry Galette (National Performance Network), Dylan Waguespack (Equity Louisiana and Louisiana Progress) and Shaena Johnson (BreakOUT!).
"It's been a really great experience so far. What I've gotten out of it is a sense of community and a sense of awareness," said Ileana Ortiz, a New Orleans resident and Miami native who, among other things, works with the Innocence Project New Orleans' Young Professionals Committee. "I didn't realize there were so many amazing organizations throughout the state and so many amazing people that are doing really hard and necessary work."
Some participants representing foundations and other organizations that raise funds for their LGBTQ work discussed the development of a pooled fund to support operations and strategic growth of LGBTQ organizations. The fund would help LGBTQ nonprofits and programs reach more people and strengthen their effectiveness by providing both funding and technical support.
The final day ended with poetry, reflections, a conversation about possible solutions and a capacity-building discussion.
We would like to express our gratitude to partners Baton Rouge Area Foundation and Greater New Orleans Foundation for their support in planning the summit. The summit was produced in part thanks to a $50,000 grant from Funders for LGBTQ Issues, whose Out in the South initiative seeks to build up local LGBTQ funds as sustainable sources of locally rooted LGBTQ funding, and strengthen the capacity of local community organizations making a positive impact on the lives of LGBTQ Southerners.

"Mark did our wedding in '12, we loved him as soon as we met him for our first shoot. He took the time to understand what shots we wanted and made sure to get them perfect. 2 yrs later we are still using him as our family photographer. We love u Mark!"
– Rachelle and Justin R.
"Lily had school pictures today and she told me on her way home she didn't like the photographers because they don't make her laugh like Mark Alison 🙂 then she proceeded to ask when he would take our pictures again because he's her favorite 🙂 looks like you got a big fan Mark!!!"
– Rachelle via Facebook 10/23/2014
Mark's Note: "I personally have enjoyed every minute with Rachelle and Justin! Lily and Conor have been in front of my lens and it is a joy to know that will continue for many years to come. We have become friends now and I couldn't be more blessed!"
"Mark is awesome!!!! He flew out to VA to photograph our November wedding. He has a great, artistic eye – I feel like he was able to capture not just the technical details of the wedding but also the candid emotions and overall "feel" of the day. Also, we had a difficult color to photograph for one of our main colors (dark brown) which, of course, he captured beautifully! My friends and family (which includes some trained in photography) were SO impressed with the way he worked – quickly, efficiently, not pushy but effective, and very friendly. We really couldn't have been happier, and we'll have fantastic pictures to enjoy for decades!!!"
– Sarah and Corey P.
Mark's Note: "From day one I knew that Sarah and Corey were my perfect clients. 3 years later I was given the gift of doing their family and maternity photos while traveling to Virginia. Distance may be a great separation, but I will always be connected to this amazing couple and their adorable children!"
"Mark has done a fabulous job for my wedding. He and Kyle made everything beautiful. The Engagement session was beautiful. Mark is also very flexible and makes sure his clients are very happy at the end of the assignment. He helped me find some vendors at nick of time and saved my headaches too. Mark's pricing has huge value for cost. I would recommend Mark to everyone"
– Pallavi and Trent H.
Mark's Note: "When Pallavi first sat down with me to go over the plans for her big day, we connected so well. Her sweet personality and clear understanding of her desires combined perfectly with my vision for her wedding photos. Being a Hindu marriage ceremony, it was very important to capture every unique moment of the event in a way that represented her culture both accurately and artistically. I didn't even get to showing her examples of my work before she insisted it was time to sign the contract and write the check. Her confidence in my craft without representation was a huge compliment and we worked so well together from that moment on."
"Mark and Kyle are the most amazing artists and take their craft to a whole new dimension. My wife and I have had the privilege of having our pictures taken three times (Engagement, Wedding and College Graduation) by them both and have been truly amazed at the results each time. They both have touched our lives so much that we have already booked them for the first pictures of baby Gabriella (who isn't born yet)! Next up…baby bump pictures! Thank you so much for blessing our family by capturing moments that will never be lost…because of you!"
– Tony and Jessica L.
Marks Note: "I can't express how much of a joy it was to work with Tony and Jessica! They had a very limited budget, so we worked out a Real Wedding Workshop deal where I was permitted to bring on several training photographers. Their engagement session was turned into a workshop as well, which was fun and rewarding for them. I'm glad to have been able to work with them every step of the way!"
"From our engagement session to the actual wedding day, I had a blast and I cannot wait to see our pictures. I had such a wonderful time. Very professional!!"
– Jessica and Collin J.
Mark's Note: "Cool people! Jessica is quirky, fun, and was super cool to work with. She and Collin were laid back from the moment we did their engagement session, letting us do what we love. I can't say enough about these two and I'll never forget them!"
"Thank you mark for your Great work. Couldn't imagine anyone else doing our wedding!! you're Amazing! :)"
– Blanca and Brendon D.
Mark's Note: "Where do I start? Blanca and Brendon are so genuine and lovely. They allowed us to try out new lighting equipment, getting classic results I never imagined. Love them!"
"Mark and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with! They deliver exactly what the client asks for and go above and beyond! LOVE my shoot with them!!!"
– Andrea and Johnny P.
Mark's Note: "My first visit to the Ice Castles in Colorado was because of Andrea and Johnny. Their sweet personalities made it such a fun experience. I am so blessed they chose me to create beautiful images for their family to enjoy for generations to come!"
"Mark puts a great amount of effort into every event he takes on. He pays close attention to details and give top notch service!"
– Caroline and Patrick P.
Mark's Note: "Years ago Caroline was a model for me at a workshop and we stayed connected since then until she chose me to photograph her wedding. Along with a close family member paying for everything as a very generous gift, we turned their event into a Real Wedding Workshop with incredible success. The friendship I have developed with Caroline and Patrick has been growing deeper each year. Even though they have moved to the New England region of the US, they still find aways to come back to Denver to get family photos and I have devoted my time touring in the Northeast to visiting them for the same. I can't imagine my life without them and look forward to a lifetime ahead."
"MARK! You and your team are ROCKSTARS!!! I can't get over the pics! WOW, you guys are the BEST! Who else could have captured such amazing and beautiful moments?! NO ONE! (:"
– Scott and Kassie H.
"Mark is a truly amazing photographer! He puts his heart and soul into to taking the greatest pictures! I trust him with all our family and he will be in our family for pictures for ever! The only thing I regret is not meeting him sooner!! Thanks for the wonderful experience I can't imagine it any better! :)"
– Tammy M. (Kassie's Mom)
Mark's Note: "The is a very special place in my heart for Kassie and Scott. Theirs was the first outdoor engagement session of my career and marked the beginning of a lifelong passion. I owe so much to them for their kindness, generosity, and loyalty to me including referring us to our company accountant. Truly clients and friends for life!"

BARRINTON, N.S. – The Municipality of Barrington's lobster pot tree has been lit for the season.
A tree lighting ceremony was held the evening of Nov. 23, followed by fireworks.
The tree is constructed with just over 200 recycled lobster traps. Memorial and commemorative buoys decorate the tree, in memory of fishermen who have passed on and in honour of those who continue to make their living on the sea.
The goals of the tree are to provide a sense of beauty, a sense of pride and to serve as a symbol of remembrance and respect for the rich lobster fishing culture and heritage of the area.

This past year, I haven't spent as much time as I'd hoped knitting for my favorite charity Warm Woolies. I have a giant rubbermaid tub spilling over with yarn that is just begging to be knit into something to keep a little one warm through a long and frosty winter. So now that the time for resolutions is almost upon us once again, I have decided to set a goal for myself for 2008. I would like to knit 100 pieces next year for Warm Woolies and have them sent off by next December.
And I would love to have you keep me company! Though I'll be knitting for Warm Woolies, you are welcome to join me in knitting for any charity that you enjoy contributing to (there are a few in the sidebar if you need some ideas). Set some goals for yourself, or just knit with what you have and contribute where you can. And of course, crocheters are welcome as well :) Though I'm setting a goal for myself, and setting up this KAL to keep me accountable, I'd love to have anyone that enjoys knitting for charity join me here and share what they're working on too.
I hope to meet you back here on January 1st to share the love!

I must admit I am awed by their work, yet honored and excited to carry on in their footsteps. AJSLP began under the vision and direction of Marilyn Newhoff, whose tireless efforts ensured the creation of a journal that was devoted to clinical issues and practices in speech-language pathology and mandated the highest level of scholarship. This unique contribution, fostered by Marilyn's exceptional skill, quieted even the most vocal skeptics. Three years ago, Marc Fey took the helm and has continued with the basic philosophy of the journal in a manner that has been wonderful to watch. I can think of no finer mentor than Marc, who has the rigorous mind of a scholar and the heart and soul of a clinician. If ever there were a person able to lead a journal devoted to a balance between clinical and scholarly issues, it has been Marc Fey. Having served as one of Marc's Associate Editors, I know first hand his fine eye for detail, his endless and seemingly tireless energy, and perhaps most important, his love of the Journal and what it represents.

So the other day a friend asked me if I had any breakfast recipes that you can make the day before. There are two recipes I use when I have a group sleeping over but I don't want to wake up super early and slave away to make breakfast. Baked Apple French Toast is one of these recipes.
My mom actually got this recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook and started making it some time in the 90s. Eventually it became my job to make it. My mom lost the cookbook but I found the recipe online about two years ago.
It is nice because you can make it the morning of, but I think it is better if it sits overnight. (I have even made it the afternoon before.) I actually add a little more butter on top towards the end of baking. I guess that makes it a little less "Weight Watchers" but who cares anyways?
Sorry I don't have any pictures.
Baked Apple French Toast
2 apples, peeled and diced (I normally use some type of green apple)
4 slices of bread, cubed (I know that the old recipe called for wheat or multigrain and I think it gives it more flavor that way)
3 Tablespoons of brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons of cinnamon, divided
2 eggs
1/2 cup of milk
1 Tablespoon of butter
3 Tablespoons of flour (I think the recipe calls for a little much so don't be heavy handed)
1. Mix eggs, milk, 1 t. cinnamon, 1 T. brown sugar together. Add apples and bread to mixture.
2. In a different bowl, mix together 1 t. cinnamon, 2 T. brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter.
3. If making the night before, store in two different bowls and combine the next day. If eating immediately put wet mixture in bread pan and sprinkle with butter mixture.
4. Bake at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes. (I don't like mine to make soggy, so sometimes I bake a little longer.)

Adults with rheumatoid arthritis and children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis are both at risk for herpes zoster reactivation or infection, two groups of researchers found.
In a retrospective, population-based study, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were more than twice as likely to experience a reactivation of herpes zoster -- shingles -- than controls (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.7 to 3.5), Bharath Manu Akkara Veetil, MBBS, and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., reported online in Arthritis Care & Research.
And in a review of national Medicaid administrative claims, the incidence rate ratio for herpes zoster infection among children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was 2.1 (95% CI 1.4 to 3), Timothy Beukelman, MD, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues reported online in Arthritis & Rheumatism.
The adult study included 813 patients diagnosed with RA between 1980 and 2007 and the same number of matched controls.
Patients' mean age was 56, and two-thirds were women.
A total of 84 RA patients and 44 controls developed shingles during follow-up, which ended in 2008.
The 10-year cumulative incidence was 8.9% among the RA cohort and 4.3% in controls (P<0.001), while the rate was 12.1 (95% CI 9.6 to 14.9) per 1,000 person-years in the RA group and 5.4 (95% CI 3.9 to 7.2) per 1,000 for controls.
Patients who were diagnosed with RA between 1995 and 2007 were more likely to develop zoster than those diagnosed earlier (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.2, P=0.013), but a similar pattern was seen for controls (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.6, P=0.016), "reflecting an apparent increase in the incidence of herpes zoster in the general population in more recent years," Veetil and colleagues observed.
Risk factors among the RA patients included a history of joint surgery, the presence of erosions, and, in particular, treatment with corticosteroids (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.76).
Complications such as cellulitis and post-herpetic neuralgia were found in similar numbers of patients and controls, although more RA patients were hospitalized.
The risk of death was higher, although not significantly so, for patients with RA who developed shingles (HR 2.1, 95% CI 0.98 to 4.4, P=0.058).
A number of other recent studies have found increases in risk for herpes zoster in patients receiving various treatments including conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and biologics, but in this analysis only corticosteroids were associated with risk.
This may reflect higher disease activity and greater inflammation in patients taking steroids, and also an influence of these drugs on cell-mediated immunity.
A total of 170 patients and 230 controls had received the herpes zoster vaccine. Four patients and two controls developed shingles after receiving the vaccine.
The American College of Rheumatology currently does not recommend the use of the vaccine in patients on biologics.
However, "there were too few patients who had herpes zoster after the vaccination in our population to draw any meaningful conclusions regarding the impact of vaccination on the occurrence and/or severity of herpes zoster," the researchers noted.
The JIA study addressed not only the risk for herpes zoster in children with this underlying disease, but also the risk for opportunistic infections in general.
"It is possible that JIA itself may increase the risk of opportunistic infections, presumably as a result of immune dysregulation or chronic inflammation," stated Beukelman and colleagues.
For this analysis, they examined the records of 8,503 children with JIA, comparing them with the records of 360,362 children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Median age was 10 in both groups. Two-thirds of the JIA patients were girls, whereas only one-quarter of the ADHD group was female.
During a median follow-up of 1 year, there were 42 infections in the JIA group, for an incidence rate ratio of 2.4 (95% CI 1.7 to 3.3).
Single cases were reported of infection with Nocardia, Toxoplasma, Pneumocystis, and nontuberculous Mycobacterium, as well as three cases of Coccidioides infection, five of Salmonella, and 32 cases of zoster.
As with herpes zoster, these infection risks were elevated for the JIA group compared with the ADHD group:
- Salmonella, incidence rate ratio 3.8 (95% CI 1.2 to 9.5)
- Coccidioides, incidence rate ratio 102 (95% CI 8.1 to 5,319)
Medications used by children who developed herpes zoster infection included methotrexate in seven, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in nine, and glucocorticoids in six.
Among the children with Coccidioides infection, one was taking methotrexate.
No correlation was seen for current medication and herpes zoster infection, according to the researchers.
"There was not a marked association between specific immunosuppressant medication use and herpes zoster, although the precision of our estimates was limited by the relatively small number of observed infections," commented Beukelman and colleagues.
Limitations of this study were its reliance on administrative claims data and the possibility of mistaken diagnoses, where opportunistic infections actually caused the arthritis.
For the adult RA study, limitations included its retrospective design, limited statistical power, and the unavailability of information about disease severity.
The adult RA study was funded by Pfizer and was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.
The JIA study was supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Institutes of Health.

Real Smallholders
Read about all the amazing smallholdings out there!
Read the adventures of smallholders who have achieved their dream. From having a flock of chickens to selling their own meat. They tell us how they started, why they chose their livestock and what keeps them going.
Emma & Stuart Collison, Moor View Alpacas, Cornwall
When Stuart and I signed the papers for the Farm, most of our friends and family thought we were mad, and most of them also thought a Farm was the last place they would find me, especially as I had done Theatre and Performance at Uni - not Agricultural Studies.
Enid & Ben Barnfield, Mendips, Somerset
Quite early on it became obvious that Bobby was a little different – he had a much stronger bond to us, and in particular to Ben, than any of the other lambs. We had promised the lambs to our neighbour and friend Farmer Miles but when it came to it, we couldn't part with Bobby and decided to keep him as a pet.
Jill McAree, Knapp Farm, Ledbury
I will try to quantify what I've learnt over the last nearly 50 years with my smallholdings and I hope some of it will be helpful, as I really think you have to end up with even a small profit for your own self-esteem!
Jan Oakhill & Ian Sanders, 'Wyntara', New South Wales, Australia
10 years ago, my partner and I sold our hospitality business in Tasmania and joined the ever growing throng of nomads travelling in caravans and working their way around Australia. We had a vague idea that we "wanted to live on the land", but were unsure of just where about! I am a firm believer of fate playing you your deciding hand, and after a few hiccups, we found our Nirvana in the beautiful Dungowan Valley, about 35 kilometres south east of Tamworth, Country Music capital of Australia.
Debbie Kingsley & Andrew Hubbard, South Yeo Farm West, Devon
We arrived with a small flock of Badger Face Welsh Mountain sheep, some geese, ducks and our trusty guard llama Humphrey. These days we have a pedigree suckler herd of Devon Ruby cattle, three flocks of pedigree sheep (the traditional Torddu Badger Face, the Torwen Badger Face and Whiteface Dartmoors) plus one or two commercial mule sheep.

The diplomatic process to try to stop the fighting in the Middle East grinds slowly on. US Assistant Secretary of State David Welch met Lebanese leaders in Beirut as part of the effort to persuade Lebanon and Israel to agree on the terms of a UN security council resolution.
Slow progress in Lebanon diplomacy efforts
Slow progress in Lebanon diplomacy efforts
With the same mission, the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met Israel's Defence Minister, Amir Peretz, in Jerusalem. The EU's foreign policy chief Javier Solana also plans to visit the Middle East later this week.
The US is objecting to amendments proposed by the Lebanese government and the Arab League to the draft UN resolution, but French President Jacques Chirac believes those objections can be overcome. Chirac said: "I can't imagine that there would be no solution because that would mean – which would be the most immoral result – that we accept the current situation and that we abandon an immediate ceasefire."
The Lebanese government, with the backing of other Arab countries, has rejected the draft UN proposal because, even though it called for a full cessation of hostilities, it did not demand an immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from the country. Also at issue is what kind of international force should be formed and when it should be deployed in southern Lebanon. As the diplomatic wrangling continues a vote on the resolution is not expected to take place before Thursday.

RIP Debbie Reynolds
When Carrie Fisher passed away I was commenting to Erin about how hard it must be for Debbie Reynolds to have outlived her daughter. I guess I spoke too soon, as 2016 struck again just a day later and Debbie Reynolds, who had a long and storied career across many media, also died. Rest in peace.

Executive Editor
By just about anyone's account, David Martin, VP of Primary Research at Nielson Online is probably a far smarter guy than me. I imagine he was fluent in Twitter months before I even knew it existed. So I feel bad for chiming in. In my opinion, however, Mr. Martin missed the fundamental point in his April 28 blog Twitter Quitters Post Roadblock to Long-Term Growth. While he makes some very insightful and well reasoned points, he misses the very most key point: Twitter is not for mass market consumption.
Following publication of Mr. Martin's blog, one of my clients pointed out, "Kind of makes you wonder about Twitter's viability as a business tool." That's true, actually. It did make me wonder. Though it ultimately led me back to a conclusion on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Why do most lookie-loos drop out within 30-60 days? Well, it takes about a month to really start to figure Twitter out. At that point, you probably know whether or not Twitter is going to add value to your life, either as a professional tool or as a networking resource.
If you have a legitimate business use for Twitter - and other social utilities - it's worth the trouble to stick it out, and most of us in that audience usually do. That said, I believe Twitter is temporary, desitined to one day be replaced by something more evolved. But it's here now and it's connecting a lot of people. So it doesn't make sense to remove it from the toolbox simply because it might not be here in two years. Truth be told…our favorite daily papers might not be here in two years either. Will we ignore their editors because of that?
If you're using Twitter properly as a business tool, the one-month dropout crowd isn't your target audience at all. You're on Twitter specifically to reach the early adopters, the influencers, the thought leaders who utilize it multiple times per day to identify and generate content for their own blogs, which aren't going anywhere anytime soon. You're not targeting the end-user with Twitter. You're targeting the people who target multiple end-users and you're hoping they'll value your messages enough to pass them along.
As long as companies remember who they're targeting and that social media marketing is a TACTIC rather than a STRATEGY, any of the network-based online resources, Twitter among them, can be really useful tools in support of solid strategic programs. .

In honor of American Idol Season 8, we count down the 8 most romantic AI performances ever.
In honor of season 8 of American Idol we count down the show's eight most romantic performances ever.
Agree with our choices? Think we got the order wrong? Did we miss the most romantic songs of all? Let us know in the comments.
8. "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman," Chris Daughtry
"Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman" was originally performed by Bryan Adams—big shoes to fill, but Chris Daughtry did it beautifully. Sure he's got no hair on his head, but his soulful singing and good looks make him one of those sexy bald guys. When he takes the mic off the stand and growls "a little tenderness, you gotta treat her right," somehow it seems like he really would treat us right.
7. "Ain't No Sunshine," Christina's Christian
Christina's Christian's smoldering eyes, subtle hip twitch and sultry voice made her "Ain't No Sunshine" performance one of the steamiest ever on American Idol. Although she was eventually voted off after a singing with a stress-related sinus infection, the then 21-year-old Christain proved she could bring the passion.
6. "A Song For You," Elliott Yamin
It may not be that hard to make Paula Abdul cry (see minute 5:18), but we have to agree with the spellbound woman, Elliott Yamin's rendition straight up moved us: if not to tears, at least enough to include him in this list.
5. "I (Who Have Nothing)," Jordin Sparks
For anyone who has ever envied rich girls who date rich boys (probably a lot of us) there's Jordin Spark's version of "I Who Have Nothing." The fervor and emotional depth Sparks brings to this love song make it hard to believe she's only seventeen.

South Indian Aunties Details/Biography
South India is the area encompassing India's states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu as well as the union territories of Lakshadweep and Puducherry, occupying 19.31% of India's area (635780 km² or 245476.030 mi²). The region is also known as Dravida as is used in the National anthem.
South India lies in the peninsular Deccan Plateau and is bounded by the Arabian Sea in the west, the Indian Ocean in the south and the Bay of Bengal in the east. The geography of the region is diverse, encompassing two mountain ranges, the Western and Eastern Ghats, and a plateau heartland. The Godavari, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Kaveri, and Vaigai rivers are important non-perennial sources of water. Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are the largest and most industrialized cities in the region.
A majority of Indians from the southern region speak one of the languages: Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Tulu, Kodava, and Kutuwa. During its history, a number of dynastic kingdoms ruled over parts of South India whose invasions across southern and southeastern Asia impacted the history and cultures of modern sovereign states such as Sri Lanka, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. The region was colonised by Britain and gradually incorporated into the British Empire.
After experiencing fluctuations in the decades immediately after Indian independence, the economies of South Indian states have registered higher than national average growth over the past three decades. While South Indian states have improved in some socio-economic metrices, economic disparity, illiteracy and poverty continue to affect the region much like the rest of the country. Agriculture is the single largest contributor to the regional net domestic product, while Information technology is a rapidly growing industry. Literary and architectural styles, evolved over two thousand years, differ from other parts of the country. Politics in South India is dominated by smaller regional political parties rather than by national political parties.
South India ranks the highest in terms of social and economic development in areas such as fertility rate and infrastructure; the fertility rate of South India is 1.9, the lowest of all regions in India.
According to some experts, the weltanschauung of South Indians is essentially the celebration of the eternal universe through the celebration of the beauty of the body, and motherhood, which is exemplified through their dance, clothing, and sculptures. South Indian women traditionally wear the Saree while the men wear either a white pancha or a colourful lungi with typical batik patterns.
Rice is the staple diet, while fish is an integral component of coastal South Indian meals. Coconut is an important ingredient in Kerala whereas Andhra Pradesh cuisine is characterised by pickles and spicy curries. Hyderabadi cuisine a legacy of the past, is popular for its Biryani. Dosa, Idli, Uttapam are popular throughout the region. There are large coffee estates in southern Karnataka and parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
The traditional music of South India is known as Carnatic music, which includes rhythmic and structured music by composers like Purandara Dasa, Kanaka Dasa, Tyagayya, Annamacharya, Bhakta Ramadasu, Muthuswami Dikshitar, Shyama Shastri, Kshetrayya, Subbaraya Shastri, Mysore Vasudevachar and Swathi Thirunal. The contemporary singer Dr. K. J. Yesudas is a cultural ambassador of Carnatic music.Thiruvarur Bakthavathsalam is a cultural ambassador of carnatic instrumentals. The motion picture industry has emerged as an important platform in South India, over the years portraying the cultural changes, trends, aspirations and developments experienced by its people. Some movie classics like Nammukku paarkkaan munthiri thoppukal (1986) by Padmarajan, Adi Shankara (1984) by director G V Iyer, and Perumthachan (1990) by Ajayan have gained worldwide acclaim. When it comes to cinema, due to the difference in languages compared to northern India, Bollywood does not have much of an audience in the region. Rather films in the language native to each state are dominant, this includes Tamil cinema, Telugu cinema, Kannada cinema and Malayalam cinema. South India is home to several distinct dance forms – the Koodiyattam, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Vilasini Natyam, Kathakali, Yakshagana, Theyyam, Ottamthullal, Oppana, Kerala Natanam and Mohiniaattam.
South India has an independent literary tradition going back over 2500 years. The first known literature of South India are the poetic Sangams, which were written in Tamil between 2500 to 2100 years ago. These include the oldest South Indian epics of Silappatikaram and Manimekalai written in Tamil. Tamil Buddhist commentators of the tenth century CE Nemrinatham make references to Kannada literature of the fourth century CE. Distinct Malayalam and Telugu literary traditions developed in the following centuries.
South India has two distinct styles of rock architecture, the pure dravida style of Tamil Nadu and the Vesara style (also called Karnata dravida style) present in Karnataka. The inspirational temple sculptures of Srirangam, Chidambaram, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Thiruvannamalai, Tanjore, Madurai, Rameswaram, Sri Kalahasti, Tirupati, Hampi, Badami, Bhattiprolu, Simhachalam, Pattadakal, Aihole, Belur, Halebidu, Lakkundi, Shravanabelagola, and the mural paintings of Travancore and Lepakshi temples, also stand as a testament to South Indian culture. The paintings of Raja Ravi Varma are considered classic renditions of many a scenes of South Indian life and mythology. The temple at Srirangam is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world, while Rameswaram is considered as one of the holiest temple in India.
The main spiritual traditions of South India include both Shaivite and Vaishnavite branches of Hinduism, although Buddhist and Jain philosophies had been influential several centuries earlier. Shravanabelagola in Karnataka is a popular pilgrimage center for Jains. Ayyavazhi is spread significantly across the southern parts of South India. Its followers are more densely populated in South Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
There is a large Muslim community in South India, particularly in the Malabar Coast, which can trace its roots to the ancient maritime trade between Kerala and Omanis and other Arabs. The Muslims in Kerala of Arab descent are called Jonaka Mappila.
Christianity has flourished in coastal South India from the times of St. Thomas the Apostle who came to Kerala in 52 and established the Syrian Christian tradition today called as Saint Thomas Christians or Nasrani Mappila. Kerala is also home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world who are supposed to have arrived in the Malabar coast during the time of King Solomon. The Jews from Kerala are called Yuda Mappila or Cochin Jews. The oldest surviving Jewish synagogue in the Commonwealth of Nations is the Paradesi Synagogue in Kochi, Kerala.The cities of South India is also home to the Anglo-Indian community, the Eurasian descendants of the various Europeans-Portuguese, Dutch, British,Danish and French-who have at different times acquired territory in peninsular India.

I dropped some weight this week! Yay! 😀 Not only a few pounds off my frame, but also the partner I was involved with that didn't really support my healthy lifestyle change.
Oh the time that was freed. With this newly freed time, I did meal prep, had more time to sleep, and stayed more dedicated to my fitness plan; 5 meals a day, plenty of cranberry water for liver cleanse, and 6 days of fun workouts.
This week was the first week back on the Fat Flush Plan and my first week working with the Underground Workout Manuel. I loved it and felt overall better all week.
It's only been a week and I think I am in love with the Underground Workout Manuel! Brett Klika, Director of Athletics at Fitness Quest 10 and fitness friend of UndergroundWellness creator Sean Croxton, has put together a program that keeps the workouts exciting and the body confused. As explained by Brett in his manual, keeping the body confused means more effective workouts and weight loss.
And I have to testify to the effectiveness of Brett's workouts. Although I am only in the first week, I have noticed that my emotions have improved, my energy levels are awesome, and I literally feel stronger. Not to mention that I lost 4 pounds! Also, the cardio is very effective but not something I dread completing. The provided journals in the manual are great too.
I feel good all over!

How to make a waterfall in an aquarium with your own hands
Nowadays, the owners of aquariums prefer waterfalls as a stylish and original element of decor. It looks very nice and spectacular. At first glance, the phrase "waterfall in the aquarium" seems awkward. From where and where does the water fall when the reservoir is already filled with it? To help aquascaupers comes the sand, because it flows exactly from above. Thanks to this, the illusion of the waterfall is created. Is it possible to create such decoration at home? And what will it take to make a waterfall in the aquarium with their own hands?
The principle of the waterfall in the aquarium
Today, specialized stores are ready to offer a wide range of jewelry in the form of a waterfall. Fans of aqua design can purchase such a device by choosing the appropriate shape, size and cost. Waterfalls in stores can have various forms, such as a sphinx, tower, stalactite or rock. The kit contains all the necessary elements that are needed for assembly and connection.
But the real enjoyment of aquascapes is obtained when they make this effective element of decor in the home. How to make a waterfall in an aquarium with your own hands? First of all, it is necessary to understand the principle of its operation. The effect of falling water is achieved by the flow of fine grains of sand. First of all, it is necessary to understand how the sand will rise to the surface, and then sink to the bottom. This is due to an air compressor that creates a vacuum effect in the tube in which sand is located. Applied physics defines a similar phenomenon as injection. The grains go up the tube, and, reaching the outlet, flow down under the influence of their weight. Consequently, the main tasks in the design of the waterfall is to provide two points: the continuity of this process and the patency of the tube through which the sand rises.
Required components for making a waterfall
Patience and accuracy are required in the manufacture of the waterfall. But if everything is done right, the result will certainly please you with its beauty and originality.
How to make a waterfall in an aquarium with your own hands? First of all, it is necessary to determine which unit will provide the injection effect. For this purpose, the compressor for the aquarium is excellent, which is a necessary attribute of almost any house for fish. The injected air will grab the grains of sand and lift them up the tube. The compressor is the first and main component for the device being manufactured. You will also need the following items:
- Support for the waterfall, made of hard material. Its height corresponds to the size of the entire design of the decor. For use as a support, any plastic pipe perfectly fits. To ensure stability, you must attach it to a rectangular base.
- A rubber hose with a cross section of 10-15 millimeters. Its length will correspond to the height of the support from the previous point.
- Tube from the system for a dropper.
- Scotch.
- Plastic bottle with a capacity of 1.5 liters.
- Silicone adhesive.
- Stones of low weight for decorating the structure.
Making waterfall details
How to make a waterfall in an aquarium? To a support made of a plastic pipe, with the help of silicone, you need to attach a rubber hose. Its upper part should rise above the surface of the water in the aquarium by one to two centimeters to ensure air outlet.
At the bottom of the hose, at a distance of five to six centimeters from the edge, a slit should be made. Subsequently, a bowl will be inserted into this hole to collect the falling sand. This capacity is recommended to be made from a plastic bottle. To do this, cut off the upper tapering part, then get rid of the neck and thread and cut the remaining funnel along into two halves. This element, which looks like a scoop, will serve as a bowl for collecting sand.
Build waterfall design
When all the components of the structure are ready, you can proceed with the layout. To assemble a waterfall in an aquarium, you first need to put the prepared sand container into the rubber hose at the place of the slot that was made earlier, temporarily fix it with adhesive tape and glue it with silicone adhesive.
Next, you need to attach a thin tube system for the dropper to the bottom edge of the rubber hose. It will be supplied through the air injected by the compressor.
At the top of the main hose of rubber you need to make a large slit, from which the sand will pour. This hole should be located just below the water level in the aquarium. For correct and uniform operation of the device, this slit should be covered with a thin sintepon, which will function as a filter.
Waterfall for the aquarium is almost ready. It is recommended to ensure that all joints of the structure are well sealed with silicone in order to avoid weakening of injection. Then left to show imagination and implement the decoration of the device.
When installing a waterfall, it is recommended to put several stones on top of a rectangular base. They will serve both as design objects and as elements that give the device stability. To decorate the structure, you should use a sheet of waterproof material in order to hide the support and rubber hose and leave in sight only the falling sand. For additional decor, you can arrange a composition of stones, snags and plants next to the waterfall.
If you place the structure in the center of the aquarium, the tank will be divided into two parts. This looks unaesthetic. Therefore, you should install a waterfall near the walls or in the corner of the house for fish.
Recommendations for choosing sand
The sand used in the construction influences the fullness of the waterfall illusion. It should be chosen, guided by such principles:
- Do not use too fine sand, because the air flow can spray it in different directions.
- Too coarse fraction of bulk material is not recommended, as large sand grains can create congestion inside the rubber hose.
Waterfall in the aquarium will look more impressive, elegant and unique, if you use colored artificial sand.
Before you finally install the design in the tank, you should conduct several experiments using the loose material of different fractions and choose the suitable one, which will create the necessary drop-out effect.
Waterfall in the aquarium is a fashionable and unusual element of modern art for creating an underwater landscape. Each breeder of fish dreams that the house of his pets stand out as a special, original element of the decor. It is the waterfall, created by own hands, and will be such a highlight that blends well into the general interior of the aquarium. Moreover, it is not too difficult to make such a device.

Bus carrying band students plunges down 50-foot ravine, at least one dead, 20 injured
At least one person was killed when a bus carrying Houston-area band students drove into a 50-foot ravine in Baldwin County, Alabama, on Tuesday morning, Sheriff Huey Hoss Mack said.
The crash and rescue effort closed down Interstate 10 in both directions near the Florida state line.
Mack did not identify the person killed but said several injured people were taken to 10 hospitals in Baldwin County, the Alabama cities of Mobile, Daphne and Fairhope, and Pensacola, Florida.
Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola received 18 of the patients, according to its website.
Six or seven Medevac helicopters transported patients to hospitals, the sheriff said. One patient remains critical, he said, and five are in serious condition. The rest of the injured, including a Baldwin County deputy hurt during the extrication process, suffered minor wounds, he said.
A video of the crash shot in the early morning showed a bus on its side in a grassy aqueduct as rescuers with flashlights scoured the area. Firefighters looked down from a bridge, a line of emergency vehicles lining the road leading up to the bridge.
The bus' front axle appeared separated from the vehicle and at least two doors to luggage compartments had been ripped off the side. The roof of the bus also appeared damaged.
The bus was traveling west, carrying the students home from Central Florida when it drove into the median on Interstate 10 and then into the ravine at Cowpen Creek, about 5:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m. ET), Mack said. The last victim was extricated from the crash shortly before 9 a.m. (10 a.m. ET).
"A charter bus transporting Channelview High School band students was involved in an accident on Interstate 10 in Alabama early this morning. At this time, details are limited," said Mark Kramer, a spokesman for Channelview Independent School District in unincorporated Harris County, Texas.
Baldwin County runs up the eastern edge of Mobile. Bay Minette is its county seat.

Testimonies: Cerebral Parenchyma Showing Atypical Gliosis
"Comment: Striking gliosis is present with prominent Rosenthal fibers. However, cellularity is relatively low. Rare bizarre astrocytes are encountered, but are attributed to radiation effect. There is no suggestion of recurrent high-grade astrocytoma. (this prior statement was the most significant one!!!) This case has been reviewed by the SHMC Pathology Staff. Basically it says we don't know what it is but it is not a cancerous tumor!! I don't know that they are even classifying it as a tumor anymore. Plus from the MRI there is very little left after the surgery. I couldn't even see it on the MRI. My own white blood cells may have already cleaned up those last bits of whatever it is (Parenchyma showing atypical gliosis). So that is why I feel like a million bucks!! I think the first guy looked at it and decided to ask the rest of the staff to try and explain it. My surgeon was grinning when he handed me the pathology report, but didn't say anything or try ot explain what it was, but only said something like "its done something that's not normal, it has been downgraded and they just don't do that. Then he looked at my wife and said "Whether you like it or not, he's going to be around longer than you think." She responded with all the compassion and emotion you could well imagine and said something like "Well let's put him back to work and start helping me out around the house!" I am calling myself "healed" if you will allow me to. Well whether you allow me to or not, Jesus daid in Mark 11:21-26 "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you (I guarantee you), whoever of you says to this mountain 'be taken up and cast into the sea' and does not doubt in his heart, but instead believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted to him. Therefore I say to you, all things for hwich you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they shall come to you.""

BINTANGNEWS.com – Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has called on Turkey and Saudi Arabia to stop interfering in the domestic affairs of his country, which is engaged in a campaign against the Daesh terrorist group.
"We want the good of Saudi Arabia and Turkey provided that they do not interfere in the domestic affairs of our country," he told a forum of Muslim scholars and politicians in Baghdad Saturday.
Turkey is adamantly insisting that it wants to play a military role in the Mosul recapture despite Iraq's opposition, triggering a serious diplomatic row between the two neighbors.
Ankara has deployed troops to a base near Mosul, claiming that they were there to train Kurdish militants for the battle against Daesh.
Abadi said Turkey had sent troops without the Iraqi government's request, adding Ankara is not battling Daesh but is trying to expand its outreach. Ankara, he said, did not help Baghdad when it was requested.
In the run-up to the Mosul operation, Saudi Arabia replaced its ambassador to Baghdad, who had repeatedly drawn the ire of Iraqi leaders for his meddling remarks. The kingdom downgraded its representation to the charge d'affaires level.***

15 Oscar Nominations Snubs and Surprisesby IMDb-Editors | last updated - 10 months ago
Here's a rundown of the acknowledgments and oversights that took us off guard during the 2018 Oscar nominations.
15 images
Snub: James Franco
So we won't get to see Tommy Wiseau take the stage at the Dolby Theatre this year. In what will probably be the most-discussed snub of this year's Oscars, Golden Globe winner James Franco finds himself iced out of the Best Actor competition. In fact, The Disaster Artist earned just one nomination: Best Adapted Screenplay.
Snub: Tom Hanks
The phrase "Tom Hanks playing Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee" is pretty much all you need to get a film fully financed, and it's the kind of immediate buzz that kick starts an awards campaign. So imagine our collective surprise when he wasn't on the academy's masthead for his performance in The Post.
Surprise: Lesley Manville
Actress Lesley Manville pulled off a quiet coup with her Best Supporting Actress nomination for Phantom Thread. Until the Oscar nominations, the only other acknowledgment Manville earned for playing Daniel Day-Lewis' possessive sister was from the BAFTAs.
Snub: Holly Hunter
As The Big Sick continued to take big hits during awards season, we almost expected Jane Craig from Broadcast News to storm the Oscars nominations announcement stage to protest Holly Hunter's snub in the Best Supporting Actress category.
Snub: Armie Hammer
We were as emotional and torn as Timothée Chalamet's character during the most pivotal moments of Call Me by Your Name when Armie Hammer's name was not called out in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Surprise Two-Fer: Paul Thomas Anderson and Phantom Thread
Both this film and its director were outliers in the Best Picture and Best Director categories, respectively. We're still in shock over The Master not earning a Best Picture nomination five years ago, so it will take us a bit more time to process PTA's current successes, but kudos, of course.
Snub: Martin McDonagh
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri can celebrate having earned seven total Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, but wouldn't justice have been served if Martin McDonagh's name was announced in the Best Director category?
History-Making Surprise: Rachel Morrison
Rachel Morrison became the first female nominee for the Best Cinematography Oscar for her work on Mudbound. It's the beginning of a big year for Morrison, who also shot the upcoming Black Panther.
Snub: Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhaal kept a steady flame over the buzz for his leading performance in Stronger. He was certainly surging ahead of Denzel Washington, who earned a surprise Best Actor nomination for Roman J. Israel, Esq.
Snub: Tiffany Haddish
More perplexing than Tiffany Haddish's pronunciation of some names during the nominations announcement was her omission from the Best Supporting Actress category. Her breakout performance in Girls Trip was one of the many reasons she's been invited to participate on the awards stage this season.
Snub: Hong Chau and Downsizing
Hong Chau seemingly was set to earn a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Downsizing after she earned a Golden Globe nom, and while Downsizing wasn't set up for success in the major categories, there was promise for a nod or two in the tech categories.
Snub: The Florida Project
Of course there would have been an uproar if Willem Dafoe didn't earn a Best Supporting Actor nomination, but many felt Sean Baker was on course for his first nomination for The Florida Project, but the innovative storyteller was blanked.
Surprise: Ferdinand
Fox's live-action department will be celebrating The Shape of Water's 13 Oscar nominations, but its animation division pulled off its own success with Ferdinand easing by Mary and the Witch's Flower for a Best Animated Feature nomination.
Snub: In the Fade
There was talk of In the Fade's Oscar chances ever since Diane Kruger won Best Actress at Cannes last year. A nomination seemed inevitable after the film's recent Golden Globe win as well, but it seemed to lose its spot to On Body and Soul.
Snub: Jane
For a moment, we thought the video player on our laptop must have froze when we didn't hear Brett Morgen's documentary on Jane Goodall included in the Best Documentary category. It was arguably the field's front-runner.

|Home | About | Contact | Vitamins for Schizophrenia
I was so tired going finally to the electronics store this past afternoon. I was dozing off on the bus. I had already done some school work in the morning. I had then gone to pick up a parcel and get my partner some herbs so she could cook lentil burgers. I then took buses to the schools. I then before coming home made a long bus trip to a suburban electronics store. I had worried so much about spending money I don't have.
I was in luck. The Harmon Kardon receiver I was going to buy on-line was available at the store as a floor model. I thought of buying a Yamaha receiver for the same money but decided to match the speakers with the receiver. Then it turned out that because this model of Harmon Kardon receiver was on clearance and the receiver on display was the last one at the store, they gave me a 170$ discount for the box being open.
To do this and justify the money spending to myself, I today invoiced one web master job for money to cover the purchase. I did some web work and just now got an email from my boss at this job saying she is delighted that the web site is moving forward and is happy to have been invoiced. So material goods can motivate creativity and money making.Posted by petert at November 13, 2006 09:54 PM

Africa faces the world's largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people facing starvation, and any cut in funding to humanitarian agencies working in famine-affected areas will cause untold suffering, a spokesman for the World Food Program said, responding to questions about U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to cut $10 billion in foreign aid.
"Any cuts at this time are extremely significant, not just for us but for any U.N. agencies and any aid organization," said David Orr, WFP's Africa spokesman, at a media briefing in Johannesburg. "With the magnitude of needs at the moment is it vital that we continue with a high level of assistance."
The current hunger crisis is in three African countries, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria, as well as nearby Yemen.
The U.S. is WFP's largest donor and was one of the organization's founders. Last year it contributed more than $2 billion, representing about 24 percent of WFP's total budget, Orr said.
"The more dramatic cuts in any aid budgets … the more suffering there is going to be," Orr said.

SEA Tel's new Coastal series satellite antenna is making crystal-clear Foxtel Digital TV at sea more practical and affordable for many Australian yacht and boat owners.
The Coastal TV antennas are simple to install and use and are available in three compact sizes from 18" (46cm) diameter up to 30" (76cm) diameter to suit vessels from 10m in length.
Thanks to the innovative feed design, the smallest version is compact enough to be fitted to smaller yachts, yet has better signal strength than many much larger marine satellite TV systems.
Rough weather is no problem either, thanks to a 3-axis gyro-stabilisation system that keeps the TV antenna pointing at the satellite, even in choppy seas or when maneuvering the yacht at high speed.
With built-in GPS receiver, installation is straightforward and TV satellite acquisition is fast and reliable.
ACUTEC supplies and supports the full range of Sea Tel marine satellite antennas from the Coastal 18" (46cm) TV, right up to the largest 12ft (4m) communications systems.
With 28 years in the business, Sea Tel is the world's leading manufacturer of marine satellite TV and communications antennas.
