"The world is built on the bones of our ancestors" is a truism that is particularly relevant to us at the University of San Francisco. The ground we stand here on was once part of a major necropolis. From 1854 to the 1920s and beyond, the tracts from Fulton to Sacramento Streets, from Arguello to Kaiser Permanente Hospital was home to four major burial grounds: Laurel Hill's Lone Mountain Cemetery, Calvary Catholic Cemetery, the Masonic Cemetery and the Odd Fellows Cemetery.
By the early 20th century, the cemeteries were gone; most remains were moved to Colma, but not everything made the move. What you see here are some of the items found during recent excavations at the university; they are haunting reminders to us of those who came before.

Traditional toffee apples free recipe
Prep time:10 mins cook 20 mins approx Serves: 6
1. Pull out any apple stems and push a wooden stick into the core. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and brush lightly with oil.
2. Put the sugar, 250ml water and golden syrup into a heavybased pan and stir over a moderate heat to dissolve the sugar.
3. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to the boil. Continue to boil without stirring until the temperature reaches 150°C on a sugar thermometer, or becomes hard enough to crack easily (see tip below).
4. The toffee will be boiling hot at this point. Carefully dip each apple into the mixture and twist around to coat all over. Sit each on the baking parchment and leave to set. A crust of rich toffee encasing a crisp, new-season apple is a wonderful way to celebrate autumn. If you can't get hold of wooden lollipop sticks, use wooden chopsticks split in two.
Editor's tips:
Use a good-quality, heavy-based pan. Timings vary according to its shape: a wide, shallow pan with a larger surface area allows the mixture to reach the toffee stage more quickly.
No sugar thermometer? Simmer the sugar mixture for around 15-20 minutes. As it cooks, the surface bubbles become smaller and the mixture darkens. Drop a teaspoonful of the sugar mixture into a glass of cold water - it's ready when it hardens enough for you to crack it. If it's still soft, continue to boil it for a few more minutes.

By Dr. Jesse Smith and Dr. Andrea Mayfield
Mississippi's economy rises and falls on its ability to put people to work in jobs that pay family-sustaining wages. Yet, one in five working-age (25-65 years old) adults in our state is a high school dropout. The unemployment rate for recent high school dropouts hovers at 30 percent and most certainly contributes to Mississippi's low workforce participation rate of 57 percent, the second lowest in the nation. Mississippi dropouts who do enter the workforce are typically destined to low skill, low wage jobs that offer little financial security.

I've had this tree topper for many years. It's not your typical angel, but I love her - I see her as a caregiver to nature and animals. Do you put a star or angel on the top of your tree - or something completely unique? / 60 individual petals - 12 flowers - finished ornament (photo put together with picstitch app). the process was therapeutic as a break from studying for finals and i love the results.

A nap before the party and then making fancy. I feel more myself wearing boots and jeans, but I guess every once it's nice to be elegant. The annual company Christmas party is about the only time I pull out the jewels and show a little skin. Now I'm ready to be wined and dined and maybe even be twirled around a bit.
I hope your holiday festivities are fun this year.

I'm enjoying my first cup of Russian Tea of the season a little late this year. I usually make up a batch at Thanksgiving and a second batch to share. Do you have a special treat you like to share at Christmas time? i made sweet potato biscuits just because they sounded good. they were.

And the dream is still alive
From that first December morning
And it always will survive
As long as we can see
That the dreams we find in life
Are the dreams we tend to seek
And Christmas has its promises to keep
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Promises to Keep
Trans-Siberian Orchestra was a thrill of music, story, lights and sound! The nearly three hour show was mesmerizing . The story was enchanting, the light show and pyrotechnics were over the top. A finale like I've never seen anywhere. See them if you get a chance - I don't think you will be disappointed.

i love decorating for the holidays, but decided against bringing my two bucket-loads of christmas cheer back with me after thanksgiving. i'm sort of regretting my scrooge-y decision. i had thought i wouldn't have long enough to enjoy them for all the effort it would take. but now seeing as i will be here til the 23rd because of work i'm sad i don't have them. i did pick up a string of $5 lights at the craft store when i was picking up DIY-christmas gift supplies. i love the way they make my room look and i'm a little bit less humbug now!

precious memories / warm heart
top photo of me and my girl friends taken by my brother / L - Nikon
My fiance (sounds so strange to me) and I went to see Trans-Siberain Orchestra perform on their Winter Tour. It was truly amazing.
From the powerful sound of this group to the simple, precious sound of friends of 60 years singing "Blessed Be the Tie that Binds" - it has been a wonderful start to the holidays.
My parents had a Christmas party today with a group of friends (about 8 couples) they have known for about 60 years. My brother and I helped out. But we were the ones blessed. This group of friends took care of us when we were babies, our families camped together when we were children - even after moving to different parts of the city they've joined hands in prayer every year at Christmas time throughout the years. The group, sadly, is getting smaller as husbands and wives have passed on. Now their children, my friends, bring the widowed parent to the party and this year I got to see a few of the girls. It was such a great time of fellowship and good food and lots of laughing.
Later, as I relaxed at home, enjoying some of the hor'derves I had missed and a hot cup of coffee I thought back and smiled inside at how funny they were - poking fun at their age, or at the stories that they retold but also smiled to think of this bond so strong - it truly warmed my heart.
This song that we all sang was the perfect ending to a perfect time together.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

Well it's official now - the holidays are here upon us... and there is a ring on my hand.
Saturday was the opening night of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens Holiday Lights - it was my birthday too. So he took me on stroll around the gardens all aglow with red, blue, pink and green. The night air was pleasant but cool enough to enjoy the warmth of a fire while we roasted marshmallows. The weekend ended with a ring on my hand. : ) I'd say the holidays are off to a great start. Hope yours are as well.

a good path / a good trail
L - Nikon / T- iphone
What a wonderful weekend it's been. The long weekend started with a nice visit with my friend Judy on Thursday. We enjoyed Chocolate Berry Earl Grey tea (with vanilla froth) and apple dumplings by the fire and talked about different things. She left me with a bowl full of wonderful colored pottery pieces she made that I can incorporate into my metal work - they inspire me so much. I was glad to have a day off on Friday so I could experiment with them - they are the perfect accent to my feather necklaces and a new butterfly necklace I am working on, possibly some rings. Then I was surprised with a life changing question in the woods Friday afternoon and a wonderful Italian dinner to follow. Saturday I had fun teaching my brother how to make a ring - he was very good at it (as expected). He enjoyed it so much that he made 3 rings during the weekend and felt proud of his accomplishment. It was a joy-filled weekend. I hope your weekend was splendid as well. / so happy. it's been too long since i've been in a saddle. my small group from church went horseback riding up near helen, ga (i'd never been to helen - it's a cute little town) this afternoon and the weather could not have been more ideal - and the ride was awesome. i'm back on my goal of owning a horse one day. i will be so happy.

L - Nikon / T- iphone
Inspired by a question that was posed to me yesterday I created this ring. I guess it's pretty obvious what the question was... but if you're wondering, my answer was yes. It's a very exciting thing, but also a somewhat scary change for me. I've known Keith for several years as a very close friend but not until recently did the bond become stronger and I think he sensed that I felt ready to make a more permanent life together. Letting go of my fears of change and looking at the whole instead picking at the little bits and pieces, I see that change can be good. And more importantly that love is really what matters. / i decided to be a little creative with my pizza toppings tonight. butternut squash, carmelized onions and goat cheese - strange... different... yet very good.
Will I design and create our wedding rings or go a more traditional route? I just don't know. There are no real plans just yet so I have no details to share but it's fun to think I can make my own rings if I wanted to.

not rain / not snow
L- Nikon / T iphone
It's not the snow and it's not the rain that has kept us away. In fact, we've had an absolutely gorgeous Autumn season here in the south. The leaves are just at their peak this week and it's so frustrating to me that I don't have anything to show of it's beauty. I take in it's the gorgeous display of color in mind's eye every single day and it astounds me with it's beauty - blazing in the morning light and glowing in the evening light. I have an incredible 360 view from my office on the 18th floor and I'm amazed daily at the changing mosaic of color in the landscape. Believe me, there have been many clicks in my mind, fingers framing in the photo, eyes zooming in to details yet I have nothing to show - I wish I did. I wish I did.

Nov 1 / Gratitude
L - Nikon / L - iphone
Happy November! And the holiday season begins...
Beginning on this first day of November, I will be posting, along with many other blogger and flickr folks, a month long celebration of all I have to be grateful for. Seems fitting to start with HOME. Even more specifically, my physical HOUSE. I am so thankful to have a beautiful, albeit small, house that is structurally sound and protects and keeps me warm and safe from the environment. My dad helped build this house and it has many special touches that make it just perfect for my daughter and me - now just me. It is situated amongst evergreens and hardwoods in such a way that I feel I am the only one around. I love my house... it is home.
P.S. The remaining gratitude series will be on my autumnsun blog.

"please! take me home with you. i will love you forever."
Taylor has a job now. Yay! for her - yay for me. She is a "pet placement counselor". It's a job that she will enjoy this last year of college - allowing her flexibility with a little spending money. I think she likes it a lot - how could she not when she gets to play with these sweet little guys.
This is the company's mission statement that she had to recite at training:
"We are dedicated to matching the right pet with the right customer and meeting the needs of both. To our customers who already have pets, we are dedicated to enhancing their knowledge and enjoyment of the human-animal bond."
I think she'll be good at her job.

"Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;

Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling".

This week the sky's have been brilliantly painted and the mornings have been pleasantly cool. Seems no matter how hot it's been and what day school starts there is always a bit of fall in the air the first day of school. This week was no different.

Taylor got an iphone and I think she's going to be more prone to sending instagram photos than anything else so I may change the format here to accommodate.

full circle / transformation
L - Nikon / T - phone pic
What's old is new again. So many things are coming full circle these days. The film cameras, lps and the record players, vintage style for home decorating and clothing, back to basics, etc.
Sometimes as children become teens we think what happened to my sweet child. But they seem to come back around too. We as parents, worry when our children go through many changes while growing up and spreading their wings. My daughter has never really caused me much heartache or worry but we all know children aren't perfect and I have to admit there have been some periods where she kept me up at night - literally. But this summer of her 21st year I am aware that she has become a mature young woman in her attitude and behavior; and I might add, a truly delightful one. This summer with her has been pure joy for me and she seems to have felt the same. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her as she finishes her senior year in college and how she will use her many talents.
There is a scripture I always hung on to through the bumpy patches.
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6
Her newest creation of the butterfly seems perfectly fitting. She has developed into a beauty.
"How does one become a butterfly" she asked pensively "You must want to fly so much you are willing to give up being a caterpillar." "You mean die?" "Yes and no," he answered. "What looks like you will die, but what's really you will still live" —–From Hope For The Flowers

This really has been one of the most fulfilling summers I've had in a very long time. Being back in Atlanta and surrounded by the strength and love of my family throughout the past three months has really grounded me and made me realize the characteristics and traits that I want to further develop in my final year of school. Always striving to be productive, making sure I am resourceful in my endeavors, and being appreciative and respectful (essentially treating others as I would want to be treated) of those around me are all things that I have worked on during my time here. Of course I'm not insinuating that I wasn't any of these things before! I was raised and taught by them! I've been immersed in an unbelievably caring and uplifting environment for my entire life. But I believe that I have grown and matured an immeasurable amount – that, I am very pleased with and proud of. This summer will provide a wonderful foundation for my last year at UGA and has shed a very nice light on the things I need to focus on.

I have lovely blue hydrangeas for hair and a orange butterfly flutters by. She has hair of feathers and a bluebird perches high.
I sit and watch as she draws - she doesn't hesitate with her stroke. She's confident with every mark - precise with the placement of her ink. I am in awe - amazed at her talent. But more than anything it is her enthusiasm and delight that brings me such happiness. When she sets her mind to something and has a vision, nothing will stop her. These portraits were started on Saturday and tonight, as I write this, both of them are complete. I wish I had just half the creative energy she's had this summer.

Whew, it's hot. Today T and I went to Athens to do a little clean up and decorating to her apartment. She hasn't been there all summer and it was a bit stuffy and hot inside but it didn't slow her down any. While she worked, I had my mind on that sample of iced coffee I got at Starbucks yesterday.
She's been so incredibly productive this summer. During her time home she has organized my basement (not a small task - in fact a huge task), made a new mannequin and decoupaged it, painted shelves, created a upholstered headboard for her bed, and after she organized my mom's fabric closet she found some fabrics that inspired her so she quilted her very first piece and made a pillow cover out of it. In addition, she shopped for and cooked the meals for our weekly meal with my parents all summer long. And she told me today that, before she goes back in a couple of weeks, she plans to sketch out the portraits she has wanted to paint of me, my mom and her (each separate paintings of us at age 20). I'm so very proud of her. So proud that she chose to make good use of her summer. And you know what? I think she is proud too - she told me today that it's been the best summer. Now that's a nice thing to hear.

thrill / chill
L - iphone / T - phone
There is no way the summer is almost over, right? Wrong. I can't believe it's flown by so quickly.. Our last post on June 30th seems so long ago! But we have been very busy little bees all summer, whether we were taking short weekend trips (a relaxing getaway to Savannah at the onset of the break) or weeklong trips to the big city (one of our more recent travels to Chicago, a first time for both of us). In between, I've gotten to spend a lot of time with my families on both sides. I was able to go see my cousin graduate from high school in California and spend some quality time with my grandma, which I don't get very often and really enjoyed. We also spent just last weekend in Kentucky with my mom's side of the family (and we had a record number of attendees, I might add!). Each vacation was very different- some action packed and others with more down time than anything else, but each one has been such a blessing in its own way and I have loved every second of all of them.
After all, It's not always about the activities you do or how quickly you do them, it's all about who you spend your time with and allowing yourself to enjoy the down time that you may not normally have.
I hope you are all having an exciting summer or at least a refreshing one.

refuge / retreat
L - Nikon / T - Nikon
This little kitty was very shy - she wouldn't venture far from her safety zone, her refuge from the world of over-eager children wanting to play with her. Her brother was a little more accepting of the attention - even let Taylor pick him up. Taylor wanted to take both of them home with her. I hated to say no, but I had to. However she is going to try to place them in loving homes so they will be protected and loved. / i took this photo when i was in southern california a week ago. sad to say it's the only photo i took to speak of. this hotel room was my retreat - rather it was where i was stuck for lack of having a car (too long of a story). we had some good times and i have to admit there were some boring times. that's just the way it goes - summer has some of both.

Happy 1st day of Summer

Taylor is away in the great sunshine state of California on this first day of summer. She said it's been a little chilly there, but it's probably a nice change from the heat and humidity of Georgia. Before she left town she re-did her "live by the sun" banner and this summer she has definitely been living by the sun - tanning every day. I did that when I was her age too, but she is smarter than I was - she uses the appropriate sun screen.
Ah summertime! There is a care-free quality about it isn't there? - even when we work every day like the rest. There's the excitement for summer vacations. We are looking forward to our summer trip this year to Chicago. Where are you going this summer?

Taylor worked with me in my metalsmithing studio over the weekend. It was fun having her down there. She made herself a ring that says "bend don't break" and I snapped this phone pic while we chatted because I thought she looked so cute and summery in her little dress and hair all pulled up. She had a healthy glow to her skin after working landscape with her dad the past couple of days, but I don't think she was too happy about the t-shirt tan she got. She's pretty smart about using sun screen just like she's pretty smart about the foods she eats. "Ants on a log" is her idea of a great snack. Whereas I tend to go for the Snickers bar. What's your favorite type of snack?

2nd cup / 2nd nap
L - Nikon / T - Nikon
With a little time to spare this morning, I sat outside and enjoyed a second cup of coffee and read a little of my book before going off to my metalsmithing workshop. It was a 2 day workshop on soldering. And even though I know enough to get by, I figured there are always new tricks to learn - no matter how many classes I've taken. In fact, I learned several new tricks - one was how keep solder from flowing by using yellow ochre as a resist. I wonder what's something new you are learning this summer? / bunny misses kodi and it shows - look at this mopey little face. today i had great plans of spending the day at the pool but it was very short-lived because it was sooo hot. already 96º and it's only May. it was really relaxing however.
p.s. I hate that we have been so slack in posting here on our blog. With the end of the school year for Taylor and then a nice little vacation in Savannah we got very far behind. Forgive me for not visiting you - please don't think I'm not interested any more. I love reading your blogs but I have not been good about commenting. It makes me very happy when you continue to visit and comment on our blog so I feel badly for not doing the same.

Just as she used to do when she was a child - she picked wildflowers for me and gave them to me for Mother's Day. The simplicity of this little arrangement brought a smile to my face better than any bought flowers could do.

" Sustain hope and faith." - 54 precious keys to happiness
I hope you all had a beautiful Easter Sunday. I was happy to have Taylor home for the weekend and to spend time with my brother and my parents as well. The weekend couldn't not have been more relaxing and enjoyable. This Easter Sunday was one of the prettiest I can remember so we spent most of the day outside -just sitting and talking, laughing and playing with the dogs. No Easter egg hunts but I did fix a basket with a few goodies for Taylor. I don't think one is ever too old for such things do you?

(sorry for the repeat of the last one - it just seemed appropriate for these photos. After all, it is an important one and worth hearing again, right?)
Evee just turned 12 on April 6th. Pretty old for a dog but you'd never know it in the way she behaves. She still has puppy energy. I love to see her running like the wind, ears flapping, loving the warm sun and cool breezes of springtime. / with two weeks left of school and breezy weather, we decided it was a great day to fly a kite. unfortunately the dollar store two for one kites weren't all that reliable, but my friend has some sort of kite whispering abilities that made hers soar. i gave up and decided that all i could do was document, but i vow to get better soon, in the sun and freedom of summer.

Complex systems theory evolved within the framework of general systems theory, mathematics, and philosophy in the 1960s and 1970s by integrating concepts from catastrophe theory, chaos theory, hierarchy theory, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and self-organization theory. It aims at describing the behavior of coupled human and ecological systems characterized by a large number of components that interact in a nonlinear way and exhibit intrinsic uncertainties and adaptive properties through time. Such systems are referred to as social-ecological systems (SESs) and are examples of a broader class of systems defined as complex adaptive systems (CASs). An SES differs from a CAS as it explicitly recognizes the primary role of humans as driving force in shaping and modifying intentionally systems' compositions and processes.
A fundamental shift in ecological theory mediated by CAS or SES analysis centers on the change in perception of systems from static entities in equilibrium to complex systems that are dynamic and unpredictable across time and space. In the past 30 or so years, many concepts ranging from succession or island biogeography to carrying capacity or ecological disturbance, that were considered central to ecology in previous decades and were all dominated by equilibrium assumptions, have since been thoroughly revised. Complex systems are deemed to exhibit alternative stable organizations, so possessing multiple stable states. Transitions between different stable states are due to changes in the interactions of structuring variables and processes. For example, gradual adjustment in a slow variable alters the interactions among fast variables pushing a system beyond a threshold (Figure 1); or by explicitly recognizing the adaptive nature of a complex system (modeled by Holling's adaptive cycle), disturbance and disturbance regimes are no more judged as a rare, external event, but intrinsic and inherent feature ofsystem dynamics.
Frequent disturbances make ecosystems subject to sudden, unanticipated changes, which may cause systems to flip into entirely new states. Large infrequent disturbance can have a long-lasting legacy effect on system dynamics that may persist long after the disturbance regime has been restored. As such, uncertainty is normal, and predictable endpoints to system evolution are not always apparent. Equilibria are temporary artifacts resulting from the scale of the observational framework (i.e., sampling intensity, data resolution, study area extent, time span of the research or monitoring activities), not intrinsic system properties.
The centrality of disturbance and the contingency of the consequent course ofsystem evolution brings history to the fore, thus urging a retrospective approach to system analysis. System history emphasizes the contingency of current conditions so that the unique nature of a specific system is based on a particular history of events, including the composition and pattern of those events. Historical contingency reflects the cumulative pattern of the impact of a diversity of processes at various scales within the systems hierarchy. All processes act in the context of and are constrained by other processes, and their temporal sequence may be critical. As a consequence, the endpoint of many successional processes is not a predictably uniform outcome; rather, several states are possible depending on the contingent circumstances. These multiple states may be resilient for long periods of time, depending on the

Fast system variable
Figure 1 Example of a state space where the same set of fast and slow variables describe two different stability domains (left) and corresponding evolutionary trajectory in terms of system's properties (right) for a particular SES. A threshold for the fast variable marks the limits of the two domains and a solid line collects all possible combination of system's variables for different states of the SES within a domain. System's properties are modified whenever the SES changes from one state to another. For example, the system's vulnerability/fragility is modified when the system moves from S1 to S2, or it is highly increased shifting to S3. System's resilience is changed accordingly and it is lower in S3. Here because of an external shock or disturbance the SES exceeds its resilience and can flip from domain A to B, where it reorganizes along different values of system's describing variables. In domain B, resilience is higher than domain A, but the SES still can evolve with the domain moving among states. A retrospective approach aims to rebuild and describe the evolutionary trajectory based on empirical evidence gathered by the analysis of the history of the system.
particular circumstances of the disturbance regimes experienced and the nature of the biophysical bounds that precede and follow it. As a consequence a retrospective approach is needed to understand the present system conditions in the context of a trajectory of change that encompasses system past, disturbance regimes, and cross-scale interactions and constraints in a hierarchy of systems, in addition to endogenous self-organizational processes.
Studying and modeling a complex system, as SESs, through a retrospective analysis focuses research efforts to quantify and evaluate systems' properties as responses to change processes and disturbance regimes, both of natural and human components, instead of the arbitrary information of system properties at any random occasion in time. By using time as a vertical process, an inherent chronology is attached to system patterns and processes and an effort is made to consider what might be the driving forces and human actions behind changes and the main consequences of these processes in relation to the present-day situation. Retrospective analysis is useful, as it links the present-day system status with its past dynamics and enables the identification of possible evolutionary trajectories to reveal continuity, turnover, directions, or degree of changes. By providing a means for analyzing short- and long-term system dynamics and for assessing the complex structure of the multiscale relationships in SESs and CASs, retrospective observational studies are valuable as they can address the role and nature of feedback mechanisms and scale-dependent interactions in systems.

Have you seen 8th grade?
8th Grade was consistently sold out in NYC, and then it was gone. Luckily, while visiting my friends and their baby in San Jose, CA, we came across a theatre that not only had Moviepass e-ticketing, so the cost is about $3 (since Moviepass is $10/month and allow you to see three movies a month). We visited the almost scarily friendly Aquarius Theatre in Palo Alto, CA.
I'm a little on catching Bo Burnham's film about what it is like to be an 8th grader, growing up amongst social media and social acceptance (or lack of it). It's amazing because Burnham created the film based off his "research" watching "8th grade vlogs" on Youtube.
The really incredible thing is that if you want to find out what [contemporary eight graders] are like, they post their entire lives online. I don't have to go to a middle school and creep around. The internet has made research much, much easier — so easy that maybe we don't always do the work that we should. But their entire world is there online and if you go find the kids that no one is looking at, they are being very honest and open and vulnerable. If you research eighth grade by who are the most famous eighth grade YouTubers you're not going to find anything honest. I would just search "eighth grade vlog" and filter it by upload date, so it would be something posted 30 minutes ago by a kid who has ten subscribers.The way it kicked off was actually watching videos of girls that age speaking and just trying to transcribe it. I did that before I even had the character of Kayla in mind. I was just trying to see if I could capture what those videos sounded like, which was this very specific rhythm. It was like Mamet, that's a perfect comparison. So I transcribed them and then I tried to write an original one. That was when the voice first came.
Disgusting, but like I said, I'm glad he discovered making feature films, that appeal to a larger audience than the one above. #maturity+

Ambala: While some institutes are providing different plates to students on the basis of their food habits, an engineering college in Haryana has gone a step further by constructing separate mess halls on the basis of food habits. Ajab-Gajab Institute of Technology has decided that vegans will be given their own mess hall so that they can stop irritating other students by repeatedly telling them that they are vegans.
There were several complaints from other students that they are no longer able to enjoy their food because of repeatedly hearing that someone is a vegan. The frequent guilt trips didn't help either and eventually, vegetarians and Non-vegetarians joined hands to raise this demand which has been accepted by the management. As per sources, the cost of the new mess hall will be recovered from students by fining every student with less than 10% attendance.
Confirming the news, a senior person in the college's management said ,"Despite the best efforts of our mess contractor, some students are still eating in the hostel mess. And they keep complaining all the time about these few vegan students who go up to each and every person in the mess to tell them that they are vegan. Students are busy trying to break the Roti with a hammer and chisel. Such distractions cause them to lose concentration and hit their own hand instead of the Roti. it was a health and safety issue so we decided we better put these vegan kids elsewhere."
"I don't know how we got vegans here though. It must be the western influence through the exposure to internet. We are thinking about banning the internet in the hostel but then these students will never submit an assignment so we are stuck on that point", he added.
Meanwhile, vegans in the college have not taken this decision well. They are saying that they can't digest food without telling non-vegans that they are vegans so it is cruel to isolate them.
