A variety of affordable and convenient on-campus housing options are available to students with families. From individual houses with yards to townhouses and apartments, these neighborhoods offer great amenities and close proximity to Preciado park with playground equipment and picnic areas.
Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are groups of students who live together in the residence halls based upon common interests and they're a fabulous way to get connected on campus! More than just social opportunities, LLCs have peer advisors and residential mentors working with each group to provide academic support.
There's no extra cost to live in an LLC, but the benefits are huge! Data has proven that LLCs increase students satisfaction at school and in Residence Halls, increase the chance of them graduating within four years and also increase their interaction with faculty.
Graduate Housing
The needs of graduate students are different from those of undergraduates, that is why we have a distinguished Graduate and International Student Community with your needs specifically in mind.

The Department of Housing & Residential Life has worked in conjunction with the Student Veterans Association of NMSU to offer affordable housing on campus to student veterans attending the university full time. A designated portion of Tom Fort Village in Student Family Housing will be set aside to create the student veteran community.

ViBE 4K HEVC Encoder Scores Again With Second French Open UHD Broadcast, This Time in HDR and HLG
This time last year, our ViBE 4K HEVC encoder was brand-new – having just been launched at the 2015 NAB Show – and was already in use for groundbreaking 4K coverage of the French Open tennis championship. For this year's French Open, the ViBE 4K, alongside other equipment, provided terrestrial viewers with an even more astonishing experience through a powerful combination of high dynamic range (HDR) and hybrid log-gamma (HLG) technologies. It was also used to provide a backup for the satellite broadcast.
In partnership with Eutelsat and TDF, the French Tennis Federation and France Télévisions used the ViBE 4K to broadcast the French Open live in UHD with HDR according to HLG specifications. The UHD broadcast was available on channel 81 over the TDF terrestrial network to Paris residents equipped with 4K televisions compatible with DVB-T2 and HEVC. The UHD channel was also available on Fransat. The channel was live during the last four days of the tournament to cover the semi-final and final matches for the men's and women's singles, as well as the final matches for the men's and women's doubles.
The ViBE 4K's HLG-HDR decoding configuration has been successfully tested with Samsung and LG's latest-model UHD televisions. The French Open UHD channel was broadcast at around 20 Mb/s on terrestrial network and at 30 Mb/s on satellite.
Once again, the ViBE 4K has proven its power not only as the industry's most compact live 4K encoder, but as the most leading-edge encoding solution available for terrestrial UHD broadcasts. In addition to support for main HDR standards including HLG, the ViBE 4K offers HEVC compression efficiency that enables UHD encoding at a bit rate compatible with terrestrial networks. Broadcasters are able to encode two channels in a terrestrial mux and take advantage of a truly impressive audio feature set, including support for Dolby AC-4. Consumers are the real winners, with the ability to experience their favorite sports in stunning UHD and HDR.

Even ScarJo Can't Prop Up SodaStream Stock
Stock drops to lowest price since November 2012, Bloomberg reports, continuing decline from last month.
SodaStream may have generated plenty of buzz, and controversy, by signing Scarlett Johansson as its global ambassador, but that hasn't boosted its stock – which dropped 3.3 percent Monday, Bloomberg News reported.
The stock was valued at $35.34 on Monday, its lowest price since November 20, 2012, according to Bloomberg, which reported that the stock plunged a whopping 26 percent on Jan. 13 after the Israeli soda maker failed to meet the forecasted preliminary earnings for 2013. That was also its first day of trading after signing Johansson.
SodaStream found itself in the crosshairs of the global boycott, divestment and sanctions movement last month after it recruited Johansson to appear in its advertising campaign, including a spot to broadcast during the Super Bowl. The actress also stepped down as an ambassador for Oxfam, a U.K.-based human rights group, which said that her role as SodaStream's spokeswoman conflicted with her role for the charity.
Earlier this week, the company at the center of a firestorm over its West Bank manufacturing facility, said that the Israeli government has failed to deliver on the tens of millions of shekels of aid it promised to develop a giant factory inside Israel itself.
Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of the company that makes devices and syrup used to make fizzy drinks at home, said that, as a result, SodaStream was downsizing the planned expansion of its factory in the Lehavim industrial zone (in Israel's southern Negev region).
Instead of investing 300 million shekels ($86 million) in Lehavim, in a facility that would employ upward of 2,000 people, SodaStream will spend just 119 million shekels ($33.8 million) and take on just another 500 employees, he said.

Reduced [125I]-Bolton Hunter substance P binding (NK1 receptors) in the basal forebrain nuclei of aged rats
Geraghty, DP and Maguire, CM, Reduced [125I]-Bolton Hunter substance P binding (NK1 receptors) in the basal forebrain nuclei of aged rats, Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 29, (12) pp. 1112-1115. ISSN 0305-1870 (2002) [Refereed Article]
DOI: doi:10.1046/j.1440-1681.2002.03781.x
1. Quantitative autoradiography and homogenate radioligand binding of [125I]-Bolton Hunter substance P ([125I]-BHSP) were used to compare brain NK1 receptors in young (2 months) and aged (18-20 months) rats. 2. The autoradiographic distribution and density of [125I]-BHSP binding sites was similar in all cortical regions of young and aged rats. In contrast, the density of [125I]-BHSP binding sites was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the basal forebrain nuclei (intermediate part of the lateral septal nuclei, medial septal nucleus and horizontal and vertical nuclei of the diagonal band) of aged rats. In all other brain regions examined, binding densities were almost identical in young and aged rats. 3. Because a population of NK1 receptors ([125I]-BHSP binding sites) in the basal forebrain nuclei is associated with cholinergic neurons, the decrease in NK1 receptors in aged rats may reflect degeneration of cholinergic neurons and contribute to the motor and cognitive deficiencies that occur with ageing.

3 Ways To Incorporate Fencing Into Your New Edible Garden DesignsShare
If you're interested in having a garden put into your backyard due to the desire to grow your own fruits or vegetables, you need to consider how the rest of your landscaping will be affected. Whether you already have fencing installed and are simply replacing a part of it or getting fencing installed for the first time, it's a good idea to look into how you can incorporate the fencing into the rest of the garden. By designing the yard with both the fencing and the garden in mind, you can find a good balance that provides security, along with making your garden look inviting.
Lean Trellises Against the Fencing
An easy way to make use of the fencing, regardless of the type, is trellises. A wood trellis can be used to grow anything from beans to certain herbs that can crawl high. By having trellises leaned against the fencing in your yard, you can disguise the look of your fencing while adding some much desired function to the backyard.
Use Fencing as an Extra Shade Provider
You may be interested in growing some fruits, vegetables, or herbs that require more shade in your backyard typically provides. If this is the problem, you should consider growing your garden nearby the fencing. Your fencing can provide shade that can be used to create a shade garden without the need for having any other structures installed. You can improve how much shade the fencing provides by adding slats in between the fence posts or even adding an overhang type attachment to the fence.
Avoid Solid Fencing for Chain-Link or Iron Fences
If you're not interested in adding a lot of shade to your yard, it's a good idea to look into what kinds of fencing are the best fits. While solid fencing can be great for adding privacy, it may look too intrusive if you want your garden to be the main focal point. This will also be the case if you want your garden to stand out from the street and you're unhappy with how much the solid fence will shield your yard. With this in mind, you should look into getting an iron fence or chain-link fence that can be a better option for visibility.
Getting a fence installed or replacing part of the fencing around your yard at the same time as a garden being put into your yard comes with some unique challenges. In order for the final result to look great the and your garden to shine, consider the above tips. To learn more, contact a fencing contractor like Crown Fence Co.

What Does The Check Engine Light Mean?
Some of us may not be aware of it but most modern cars these days have an on board monitoring system that is fed by a variety of sensors throughout the entire car from ambient air temperature to the amount of oxygen in a car's exhaust system. But what does it mean if glanced down at the dashboard to see that the check engine lights turned on?
Malfunction indication light, is designed to keep the driver informed of any number of sensor failures or engine irregularities.
Adjustments to ensure that the engine is running as efficiently, and cleanly as possible, but when one of those sensors fail, or gets a strange reading, you get the check engine light.
Sometimes, there may be a simple solution and can be checked by yourself. For example, failing to tighten your gas cap all the way, not fully re-inserting your engine oil dipstick or a loose oil fill cap can cause the check engine light to flash. If you've check all of the above and you still have the little light on your dash, visit your mechanic for advise.
More serious problem and not addressing the issue will inevitably lead to an engine failure.
Five Signs There Is No Serious Problem
- Your car seems to be behaving normally
- No strange noises
- No smoke
- No strange smell
Five Signs There Could Be A Serious Problem
- A consistent rattle, knock or other unusual noise
- Smoke
- A severe loss of power
- A serious decline in gas mileage
- The vehicle does not start

INDEPENDENCE, MO – The Missouri Mavericks made an announcement on Wednesday that provides an incredible boost to their squad for the upcoming season. Reigning ECHL Goalie of the Year Josh Robinson will return for his third season with the Mavericks, answering the biggest question surrounding Coach John-Scott Dickson's club for the impending campaign.
While the Mavericks are fully expected to receive at least one, but quite possibly two goalies from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers and/or St. Louis Blues, anytime October creeps up and there is no cage protector listed on a team's roster, a sense of concern and fear rears its ugly head. That has been the case in Missouri, as the goalie situation has been the talk of the town over the last few weeks, including at the team's annual Fan Fest a few weeks ago. Dickson assured the Mavericks faithful that while specific names hadn't been mentioned to that point, they were fully confident that this year's team would be just as good between the pipes, if not better, than last year's squad. That's a tall task to achieve considering what the tandem of Robinson and Parker Milner were able to accomplish, however the return of Robinson makes it that much more achievable.
Robinson is coming off a career year, amassing a record of 28-2-0-1, finishing atop the ECHL in goals against average (1.88) and save percentage (.931). His 28 wins were good for second-best in the league, trailing only Joel Martin's 36 wins for the Kalamazoo Wings, even though Martin needed 64 starts to reach that clip, while Robinson started half as many games with 32. Robinson also broke the ECHL record for consecutive wins by a goalie (previously held by Jeff Jakaitis of South Carolina after winning 16 straight starts) after leading the Mavericks to victory in 21 consecutive starts. No, that's not a joke. It actually happened. Ridiculous, right?
While the other half of the goalie tandem is yet to be determined, the Mavericks are certainly putting a focus on the defensive side of the puck, something that was a considerable factor in the success that they had in 2015-16. Being able to bring Robinson back is a huge get for Dickson and everything that he's trying to accomplish and overcome as a rookie head coach.
The Mavericks also announced the signing of rookie forward Fabrizio Ricci. Coming out of the QMJHL, Ricci notched 43 points in 66 games for Baie-Comeau Drakkar last season.
With training camp just around the corner, the biggest question remains which and how many players will be joining the Mavericks from the AHL ranks. One could assume that it could be a significant amount, since, with the addition of Robinson, the roster for training camp currently sits at only 14 players. The affiliation with the New York Islanders has brought a tremendous amount of talent to Missouri, and that should continue to be the case. With the Blues also in the mix this season, the Mavericks should be loaded once again.
Roster Update:
Forwards – Shawn Pauly, Dane Fox, Darren Nowick, Yuri Terao, Dan Correale, Andrew Courtney, Rocco Carzo, Reed Seckel, Radoslav Illo, Fabrizio Ricci
Defensemen – Sameul Noreau, Kevin Tansey, Bryce Aneloski
Goalies – Josh Robinson

text: In extremely cold climates, it is often necessary to change weather stripping every year. People seem to think that once stripping is installed, it will work well for years to come. This is not the case. However, even if the weather stripping for the door is new, and in good shape, the cold weather may warp the door slightly, in which case the existing stripping needs to be adjusted. The cold air that is coming through the door may be only in one specific part of the door. There are two ways to find out. Close the door on a piece of paper. If you can pull the paper out there is little or no protection in that area. If the paper is stuck and you cannot pull it out, the stripping is doing the job. Try moving the paper along the edges of the door until you find the warped area. Or you can open a window on the other side of the house and hold a cigarette or incense up to the door. The forced draft will indicate where the problem is by drawing the smoke through the door. Loosen the screws to adjust the weather stripping and repeat either method until the draft is eliminated.

Year: 1987
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Players: 1
An earlier work of Konami that sprang into a widely-known video game series of creepy castles and eerie enemies. Castlevania was the original of them all, and even considered by some to be the best of the NES series.
Konami still hadn't finished developing their masterful graphic techniques at the time of this games release, and it shows. Sure, the graphics look great, but when you play, a lot of the sprites will start to flash or get cut off, etc. when a few are on the screen at a time. Konami was able to fix this later on and allow many sprites on the screen at a time. Castlevania is just an example of their earlier testing to improve upon their games' performance.

CPRA: Utilizing Dredge Material to Protect Terrebonne Parish
The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) has completed a $36 million marsh creation project benefiting 1,158 acres in south central Terrebonne Parish at Lost Lake, utilizing both dredge material and hydrologic control structures along bayous Carencro and Rice.
Commenting the latest announcement, Louisiana Governor, John Bel Edwards, said: "From the time I took office, coastal protection and restoration has been a priority for my administration, and this is what progress looks like. We're looking forward to several coastal restoration projects that are slated to get underway this year, all of which will benefit our communities and our people in both the long and short terms."
North of Bayou DeCade a 22-acre site now contains 30,000 linear feet of earthen terraces that break up wave energy to lessen erosion, thus protecting additional areas inland while providing improved habitat for fish and wildlife.
Five water control structures along the bayous will help maintain areas which have been traditionally fresher or more saline in the fluctuating estuarine environment.
The variable and fixed-crest weirs are manually controlled and adjusted according to seasonal or other conditions.

Hannah and James had a beautiful wedding at the stunning Mythe Barn. The venue is known for its fusion of rustic charm with modern accents. It's the perfect place for a summer celebration with floor to ceiling letting in lots of natural light and expansive grounds to enjoy into the evening. Contemporary design makes this wedding barn truly unique and such a delight to photograph.
Dress Reveal At Mythe Barn
Our day began with bridal preparation. Hannah decided to get ready at her parent's house and then move to Mythe Barn for reveal photos of her complete look. We love this idea as the wedding photos benefit from the beautifully designed oak beamed rooms at Mythe Barn. One of the best parts of bridal preparation to photograph is the reactions from loved ones seeing the bride in her wedding dress for the first time. Hannah looked beautiful and her bridesmaids had such a lovely reaction, there were a few tears! Being able to capture these moments in time in photographs is such a joy.
Emotions During The Ceremony
The wedding ceremony was held in the main room of Mythe Barn. It's a stunning place to take photos, the modern floor to ceiling windows create a light space. Natural light makes the best photos and Mythe Barn is great for this. There is so much emotion to capture during the ceremony. Every groom reacts differently to this momentous moment. It was so sweet to see James shed a tear seeing the bride walk down the aisle. From then on the couple was all smiles – it was a lovely moment.
Confetti Photo At Mythe Barn
After the wedding ceremony, all of the guests took to the front of the building for the confetti. So many of our couples are looking for that perfect confetti shot, one of our favourite of these won an award from Masters Of Wedding Photography. Our top tip to get a great photo is to look up! It might sound obvious, but the natural reaction is to close your eyes and put your head down as the confetti flies toward your face. Read our post on whether you should have confetti at your wedding. Hannah and James nailed this photo and it's one of our favourite's from their Mythe Barn wedding. It's also important to check what the venue permits for confetti, some have a designated area for this and specify the kind of confetti which can be used.
Bright, Colourful, Natural Portraits
Once all the guest were settled outside with a drink Shane took the newlyweds aside for a few portraits. At Shane Webber Photography we adore bright, colourful and natural wedding photos. Over the years Shane has developed his signature style for portraits which is centred around quality of light and relaxed posing. Firstly a few photos of the couple having a stroll through the lovely gardens at Mythe Barn. This is a great time for a moment alone after the wedding ceremony. Shane also takes the couple out after the meal for a few photos. This is important as the softer evening light creates stunning photographs.
Speech Moments
Another stunning room with large modern windows is used to host the wedding breakfast. Hannah and James chose white floral decorations giving the room an effortlessly beautiful feel. The speeches are always great to photograph. A natural wedding photographer is always looking for moments; a smile, tears or laughter. During the speeches, these are in abundance. We also really like to capture a few of these moments in black and white. There is something about emotions that translate so well into black and white photography. Shane's style for black and whites is to keep them beautifully soft.
Sunset Photography At Mythe Barn
Our favourite photos from Hannah and James' Mythe Barn wedding were taken at sunset. Shane is always aware of the weather for the day and the time of sunset. This varies a lot depending on the time of the year of the wedding. For Hannah and James' big day sunset was quite late on. It's was definitely worth the wait as the golden light streamed through the trees. This soft gold creates ambience and makes for the most stunning wedding photos.
The couple chose a very talented team of suppliers to help make their wedding amazing. It was a pleasure to work with each and every one of them.

When Britons David and Uma Cresswell booked a Christmas holiday in the Indian state of Kerala two years ago, they imagined clean beaches, Ayurvedic massages and the prospect of sipping ice cold martinis and beers while watching traditional bamboo houseboats floating past.
But the resort the couple from Wanstead, east London, visited did not have a licence, so alcohol was officially off the menu.
"The hotel management would sneak warm alcohol into our room with strict orders to only drink it there, which we really did not like doing," said Uma Cresswell. "It really ruined our holiday as you couldn't just walk up to the bar and order drinks."
The Cresswells' experience is set to become the norm in Kerala India's wettest state – where residents drink 8.3 litres of alcohol per person each year, more than twice the national average – is about to go dry.
State leaders are forcing the immediate closure of more than 400 bars, with another 312 losing their licences by March. Retail liquor stores will be phased out gradually.
Only Kerala's 23 five-star hotels will be allowed to serve alcohol in the short term. Meanwhile, the state is expected to lose up to 100,000 jobs.
The end goal, chief minister Oommen Chandy says, is total prohibition by 2024.
"I urge the people of Kerala to wholeheartedly support the phased ban on alcohol," Chandy tweeted earlier this month, adding that "homemakers" were especially happy with the decision.
Kerala has seen an epidemic of alcohol abuse in recent decades. According to the Alcohol and Drug Information Centre of India, 69% of crimes, 40% of road accidents and 80% of divorce and domestic violence cases in Kerala are linked to alcohol and substance abuse.
For decades, Jacob Varghese, 44, of Trivandrum, was one of those statistics. "I had my first drink at an Easter celebration at the age of 10," he said. "By my teenage years, I was binge drinking every few days."
"Eventually, I lost my job and my home. I was severely depressed and had lost all hope."
Varghese has been sober for 14 years and runs Madhumukti, or Freedom from Alcohol, a programme that provides counselling, shelter and meals for addicts throughout the state.
He applauds the government's decision. "I see children even younger than 12 getting addicted," he said. "Some type of control is needed and I personally believe prohibition will help."
But critics argue prohibition has a proven history of failure. "Once the chief minister's dream of 'total prohibition' becomes reality, revenue will instead be directed to the pockets of dangerous criminals and corrupt officials," wrote Avinash Tharoor, contributor to The Prohibition Post, an international website reporting on drug and alcohol policy issues.
India has a long history of flirting with prohibition, originating with the view of the country's founder, Mahatma Gandhi, that alcohol was a social evil.
At present, three Indian states – Lakshadweep, Manipur and Nagaland – impose a total ban on alcohol despite ample evidence of illicit sales of unregulated liquor.
Two states, Gujarat and Mizoram, allow some people to drink some of the time.

Thanks to the miracle of MooPooTea and Gypsum, my sandy, salty, chemical laden, disgustingly full of broken glass and pottery soil is starting to let things grow.
|Brewing up the MooPoo Tea from Annie Haven, this is a miracle worker and I can't say enough good things about it...safe, organic, cheap, easy, you name it! It's my go-to defense and fertilizer for my entire garden
After a few trials and errors we realized belatedly that the previous owner had managed to keep everything to 'dirt' by spraying on a TON of full on bad stuff like Round up, a pre-emergent, and loads of SALT! (What the heck!) etc. So no seeds would sprout if put directly in the soil AT ALL. We invested in sod for a part of the back-yard and it died faster than anything I've ever seen.
That's when we became Gypsum fanatics. We read that gypsum will bind up salts and other pesticides sprayed onto land then let it wash away so my husband became throwing gypsum over all of the soil. In the last 6 months I've been able to plant directly in the soil and see results from seed, yippee! My anemic plantings are becoming lush!
On another interesting note, I've discovered that if you dust an area with Gypsum and do not water it in, it will dehydrate and kill anything in its path. This is a very useful discovery because we had some runner grass creeping in to my vegetable garden and it is now decimated once sprinkled with Gypsum.

From the sheer duration of my wife's conversation with the Panditji, I was convinced the list would be long. I feel she has this precise notion that longer the list of puja samaghri, better the puja and more the blessings. The puja was planned on account of birth of our second daughter in Delhi.
I was quite tired on that particular evening and in the hope of getting some compliments, I highlighted my day's contribution "look how hard I work, I went for vegetable shopping in the early morning, paid electricity bills, attended office, dropped your friend in the railway station, brought momos for you and now again going for puja shopping"… Handing over the shopping bag to me she replied politely "Abhi, why don't you give me a chance to work hard like you and you stay at home to look after the kids for a day please." Two kids in two years meant two back to back maternity leave. Poor me, for a while I felt like the empty bag was loaded with a full gas cylinder. Only a wife knows the art of reverse compliment…!!
Panditji was chanting non stop mantras with occasional swahas and dakshinas – 'ichah anusar' (as per your wish). My collection of Rs. 10 notes vanished within minutes. Only when I started taking out the 100 rupees note the frequency of dakshina giving slowed down. The puja samaghri bought the night before were distributed among all the gods and goddesses along with a dakshina. With the Hawan wood burning flawlessly, I heard one of our neighbor whispering to my wife "this panditji has magic in his hand – whenever he performs puja, the fire lights up so well!" I wondered was it panditji's hands or the one kilo Mother Diary's ghee doing the magic. Whatever may be the reason, but the incense sticks, hawan fire along with chanting of mantras in the background brought a positive vibration to our house. We cherished the moment, distributed prasad to the small gathering and listen to our new born child's future forecast from Panditji. I knew with the final payment of Panditji still due our daughter's predicted profession would be no less than doctor, engineer or IAS !
Panditji removed all the dakshina's from near each God and Goddesses and advised me "beta yeh sab ka Jalprabah kar dena" (dispose the left over items in the river). He accepted his direct dakshina, apart from the one that came via God. Blessed us for a 'baby boy' next time! And bid goodbye, leaving behind all the puja samaghris.
It's been three months since the ceremony was over, but I have not found an appropriate solution for the disposal of the puja left over samaghris. The holy items along with few marriage invitation card marked with Ganesha picture and old ruined idols of God are kept in a box in one corner of our house. I thought of disposing them in the Yamuna but then again, I have attended a few seminars and conferences on climate change and global warming. So I am not supposed to spoil the nature.
The thought of polluting the environment bought back memories of our trip to Gangotri and Yammunotri. There, me and my wife met an old Sadhu Baba and a couple from Czech Republic. The Sadhu Baba spoke in length about the ancient practices, its benefits and modern lifestyle, its evils. After spending few hours with him I asked what is his message to the young generation like us. "Pariyavaran ko bachao" – Save the environment, he said. We met the couple, Martin and Helena at Yammunotri and instantly connected, as if we were old friends meeting after a long time. Both of them were trekking in the Himalayas and we gave them lift to Uttarkashi in our car. Like all Indians do, I was busy glorifying our culture. I went on saying that "We Indians are worshipers of nature, like we worship trees, stone, river, etc." Helena finally asked me something to which I still don't have an answer, "If you all are worshipers of nature, then why do you throw garbage at the Ganga???"
Back home in Assam, Durga Puja is performed in our ancestral house since years. On VijayaDasami we immerse the idol of Goddess Durga along with all other samaghri in the Brahmaputra river. But the decision for immersion of idol in the river is taken by my uncles and elder brothers. So I justify, or rather fool myself by believing that I am not directly responsible for polluting the river.
But the box filled with those puja samaghri in my house is my responsibility. If I dispose it in the Yamunna, the environment conscious ego of mine will be hampered; and if I throw it in the dustbin, there is no escape from my wife. I can't dare disturb the blessings my wife has earned so affectionately. But, finally I decided what to do. In the last one week, I have been taking out hand full of the puja samaghri every day and spreading them across my flower pot. Smuggled out those Ganesha printed marriage card and few faded pictures of God, and gave it to the 'Kabadiwala' along with the newspapers. The dried flowers were sprinkled across all the trees in our colony. I folded my hands, begged forgiveness from God, broke the mud pot and few old idols of God, and placed them in a hole dug for some construction work. In return I promised to plant few trees every year, travel by public transports as far as possible and start (re)believing that God is omnipresent and perform puja only through Karma. There are still few plastic and glass items left, I hope someone will come up with a better idea and help me in disposing them.
I must confess worshiping God through puja (and samaghri) and saving the environment at the same time is a tough job!!!

The latest diplomat to leave the U.S. State Department says "disrespect" is driving talented professionals out of the foreign service.
In her resignation letter, Elizabeth Shackelford says the Trump administration has shown a disdain for diplomacy. "The consequences will affect our global leadership and status abroad for many years to come," she said.
Shackelford joined the State Department in 2010. Her diplomatic resume includes work in Somalia, South Sudan, and Poland.
She says the White House has shifted authority for U.S. foreign policy to the military "to the detriment of our nation."
Widely respected in diplomatic circles, Shackelford urged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to "stem the bleeding by showing leadership and commitment" to the department's mission. "If you are unable to do so effectively within this administration," she said, "I would humbly recommend you follow me out the door."
You can read the full text of Shackelford's resignation letter at Foreign Policy.

One of the great deficiencies and dangers that face organized religions, and certainly Judaism as well, is its necessary connection to fundraising. In a perfect world, religion would be completely separate from the necessity to obtain and dispense money – in fact, from any monetary consideration whatsoever. However since this perfect world has not yet been achieved, the problems and influence of money on religion, both individually and institutionally, are many and powerful.
The necessity to raise funds gives birth to all sorts of schemes in which the prevailing attitude often times is that the greatness of supporting Torah and Judaism justifies the use of otherwise questionable means. I need not identify or enumerate the numerous cases that have led to individual and institutional grief and public shame because of this type of mindset.
The building of the Tabernacle/Mishkan, the story of whose construction starts to be told to us in this week's Torah reading, was accomplished by the voluntary donations of the individual Jews encamped in the desert of Sinai, in response to the call and appeal of Moshe. We do not find that this fundraising effort was in any way sullied by graft, greed, commissions or overhead expenses.
Moshe will make a full accounting for all of the donations received and will detail exactly how they were processed and built into the construction of the holy edifice. And when it appeared to Moshe that there was sufficient material and donations to complete the task, he calls a halt to the fundraising efforts. Moshe's efforts were blessed by God and became the ideal paradigm, never again equaled in Jewish world history, of a completely notable and transparent fundraising campaign.
This was not the case in the time of the kings of Judah when funds were required to refurbish the Temple of Solomon. The fund-raising dragged on for years in the priestly clan and the public grumbled over the manner in which it was conducted. Finally the King had to acquiesce to some sort of looser arrangement regarding the accounting and spending of the funds that were donated in order to be able to finally complete the project.
Moshe and his generation and their ability to transcend the lure of money were no longer present. As the generations have declined since Sinai, that paradigm of Moshe has tended to recede even further. There is no practical benefit in bemoaning this fact. For religion and religious institutions to survive, expand and become influential, money is necessary. And when money becomes therefore necessary, all of the dangers that money brings with it enter our camp and unfortunately sometimes even seem to dominate it.
We should always demand transparency and honesty when dealing with public and charitable funds. Eventually Heaven separates the pure silver from the dross which always seems to encompass it. But we should insist, for our part, that holiness is built by holy means and just and responsible behavior.
Shabbat shalom
Rabbi Berel Wein

It's been a minute since I posted a good Peanuts strip. The pressure Charlie Brown feels on the mound in this one is classic.

Marcie, Peppermint Patty, and baseball capsPosted: October 18, 2019 Filed under: Pop culture | Tags: Baseball, cartoons, Charles Schulz, Charlie Brown, comics, Marcie, Peanuts, Peppermint Patty, sports Leave a comment
In addition to the "Charlie Brown's All Stars!" episode featured on the DVD, the 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Charlie Brown's All Stars! also includes an "episode" consisting of a string of short clips. Entitled "A Charlie Brown Celebration," many of these clips revolve around the kids' school experiences, and some around events outside of school. One of these clips was about Peppermint Patty and Marcie having their own baseball-related adventure.
When Peppermint Patty's team plays Charlie Brown's team one day, Marcie notes that everyone on Charlie Brown's team wears a baseball cap. So why, she asks Peppermint Patty, does their own team not wear baseball caps?
Peppermint Patty is untroubled by the lack of baseball caps for her team, but Marcie decides to take it upon herself to come up with the perfect cap for their team to wear. While Peppermint Patty insists that winning is better than having caps, Marcie finds or creates a variety of different caps to present as possible team caps, ranging from the impractical to the downright ridiculous.
Finally, Peppermint Patty gives in, and the two see an advertisement for kids to receive a free ball cap when attending the local professional team's next game. Peppermint Patty comes up with a scheme to enter the ballpark to receive a free cap, then sneak out by climbing a wall so that she can re-enter to receive another. The plan was to repeat this until they had accumulated nine baseball caps.
However, in a fit of conscience, Marcie decides that having team caps is not worth doing something unethical. She leaves the stadium just as Peppermint Patty is climbing the wall out of the ballpark. With no one to catch her coming down from the wall, Peppermint Patty lands on her head, and she declares that she is glad Marcie had changed her mind because repeating this process nine times likely would have killed her.
Charlie Brown's All Stars!Posted: October 17, 2019 Filed under: Pop culture | Tags: Baseball, cartoons, Charles Schulz, Charlie Brown, comics, Peanuts, sports Leave a comment
In my usual library browsings, I came across the DVD for Charlie Brown's All Stars! Given the number of Peanuts strips that revolve around baseball, of course I had to give it a watch.
The episode, which first aired in 1966, features Charlie Brown himself and revolves around his struggle to hold together a team that has lost faith in him. I couldn't help but feel sorry for Charlie Brown, as his own team rails on him throughout the episode, calling him a blockhead and constantly blaming him for their string of losses (never mind that they all stand around and stare while Charlie Brown himself chases down every fly ball).
Things come to a head when everyone on the team quits, and Charlie Brown is left without baseball. He desperately begs his teammates to reconsider, but they continually turn him down until Linus tells him that Mr. Hennessy, the owner of the hardware store, is interested in sponsoring Charlie Brown's team. The sponsorship would include uniforms and the team would become part of an actual league. With the promise of real baseball uniforms, the team agrees to return to playing.
Later, however, Mr. Hennessy calls Charlie Brown and informs hims that while he will be able to provide uniforms for the boys on the team, the league does not allow girls or dogs. Therefore, Charlie Brown would have to let go of the girls on the team (including Lucy, Violet, Patty, and Frieda) and his dog (Snoopy).
This, of course, is a major blow to Charlie Brown. However, with a game coming up, he decides not to tell the team about the uniforms, hoping that the promise of them will encourage them to play a great game and maybe even win. If they win, the team might be so happy about the victory that they would forget about the uniforms.
The team does put on a great show in the game, playing perhaps the best they'd ever played. However, they lose in the end when Charlie Brown's attempt to steal home and tie the game in the last inning fails. With the sting of such a close loss, Lucy and others tell Charlie Brown that if it were not for the uniforms and the league, they would quit. Charlie Brown then tells the team that he told Mr. Hennessy that the deal was off, but does not go into the details of why. This causes the team to grown angry and storm off.
Linus ends up being the one to reveal to the girls and to Snoopy why the deal had been called off. He points out that Charlie Brown was not willing to sacrifice his friends just to get uniforms, causing the girls and Snoopy to feel bad for how they had treated him. In order to make up for this, they decide to make Charlie Brown a special manager's uniform, but they decide to use Linus's security blanket to do so.
The girls and Snoopy present the newly-made uniform to Charlie Brown, who, of course, is pleased with it. He is determined that his team will win the next day, but the next day, it rains, so nobody else shows up to play ball. Charlie Brown stands alone in the rain on the pitcher's mound, where Linus finds him and tells him that nobody will come to the field. He then tells Charlie Brown that his uniform was made from his blanket. Charlie Brown lets Linus hold the shirt-tail against his cheek and suck his thumb.
I loved this episode because it was Charlie Brown and his crew, and of course because it revolved around baseball. However, I hated how Charlie Brown got treated from start to finish of the whole episode. Yes, this treatment does seem to be par for the course for Charlie Brown, but really, can't the guy get a break?

In July 1891, shortly after being awarded the school, a committee was formed to drum up citizen support for a bond referendum to be voted on in late July. The bonds would allow citizens to support the city's efforts to raise the $30,000 pledged to the state. The committee proved successful in its campaign as 771 citizens voted in favor of the bonds; no votes were cast opposed.
|State Normal's first president, Charles Duncan McIver,
pictured here in his office in the Main Building in 1895
The issue of raising $30,000 through bonds proved simpler to resolve than that of finding and selecting a site for the school. A number of sites around town were suggested as possibilities. The Steel and Iron Company offered two sites - one directly on a rail line just over a mile outside of town and one within the city limits on Church Street. Another site offered, known as the "Brick School Site," was located about 100 yards west of Greensboro Female College (now Greensboro College). Another site known as the "Tate Site" was also just west of Greensboro Female College on West Market Street.
Ultimately, in November 1891, the site that was selected was one referred to as the "Pullen Site," located about a half mile west of Greensboro Female College on Spring Garden Street. This site was also within view, but not directly on, the railroad line. Two Raleigh real estate speculators and philanthropists, Richard Stanhope Pullen and Robert T. Gray, donated the ten acres that would house the school. The land sat just inside of the city's corporate limits, adjacent to a farm owned by the Reverend R. R. Moore.
|Epps & Hackett's original architectural renderings for the
Main Building and Brick Dormitory at State Normal
After more than a year spent planning the new school and constructing its facilities, the State Normal and Industrial School officially opened its doors for an initial class of 198 female students from across North Carolina on October 5, 1892. The Brick Dormitory was destroyed by a fire in January 1904. But the Main Building, which was renamed in 1960 to honor Julius Foust, the second president of the school, remains in use primarily for classroom and academic office space. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
