It is difficult to say thank you for all this, but I must confess to a certain embarrassment at all this public encomium being showered on me. I have been brought up by my father in a tradition where we don’t even praise our brothers, sisters, children. Because, as Babuji has written to me in one letter which you all have probably read, in Sahaj Marg tradition the samskaras are exposed; all that is good is hidden. They are seen by those who have the eyes to see. Samskaras are brought out because they have to go. That which is hidden, because it must not be seen, they must not be exposed. It is not a matter of public display. When I came to Babuji, I had the same lessons in a more emphatic form. In one of his letters he says, “I love you, but this I must not repeat.” I am sure you have read it.
It is an alien culture when we keep on saying, “I love you” and things like that. In the Hindu [tradition], under the umbrella of the sanatana dharma , what must be revealed only through the eyes, must not be spoken about. But I agree that, since I am supposed to have come here fifty times—I don’t know, JRD [J. R. Doreswamy Iyer] has managed to keep a record! Otherwise I wouldn’t know how many times I have come here. I only know that to JRD I owe a lot of my progress because, in the days I was an abhyasi, he was a preceptor. And he used to live just behind the rear gate of Lalbagh—191, I Main Road—a small apartment full of flies by day and mosquitoes by evening. I used to come there for sittings whenever I visited Bangalore on my company affairs. Then he was again preceptor in Madurai and I have an interesting episode [to relate], you see. We used to stay in my company apartment guesthouse. And Babuji and I were there once, and Babuji wanted to make him a full preceptor—Doreswamy Iyer. He said, “But I am worried because I don’t have a certificate.” I said, “I have brought one.” He said, “Why?” I said, “I don’t know, I just felt that it may be needed and that’s why I brought it.” So he said, “This is called intuition.” Because normally we don’t carry full preceptor certificates with us, you see.
So, JRD was blessed in that apartment in, what is that place called?—I’ve forgotten—Valamjee Mansion. So, we had a lot of contact in Madurai, much more than we had in Bangalore. And I have even visited his house and sat and had food with him. I remember he had a scooter which always had no petrol in it! And he had to do some exercise to bring the petrol into the tank or wherever it was, you know, before it would start.
So, I have a deep sense of gratitude for Doreswamy Iyer in promoting my spiritual welfare, looking after me with his humility. You know, he is a very humble person. I remember when we were inaugurating this ashram and at first, of course, there was nothing here, there was only a slope. None of you can imagine what it was. Babuji Maharaj was sitting somewhere here. And I gave a talk which he appreciated very much. Later on, on another occasion we had a small stage put up with bamboos and what not. And I remember, JRD was sitting on it and, in front of my eyes, some of the seniors of those days evicted him from the stage. And in his humility, he got up and walked away.
So that is his humility. He is always self-effacing, doesn’t talk much and does not measure his own contribution to Sahaj Marg, which is considerable. You know, in our sanstha [system], the only rewards are spiritual rewards. And like water flows from uphill to downhill, downstream, blessings also flow like that—from Lalaji to Babuji and to all others, you see. So, I pray that those blessings may flow to you all through whatever medium is available at the moment, and that you all grasp the time available to you and not waste it. Because it is so easy to waste time; it is so easy to miss opportunities.
So, with this training I also feel sorry for so many people, who used to be here, whom I have been, you know, quite familiar with. Here, in Raichur, in Gulbarga, and in so many other places, in Lucknow. And it is a matter of sorrow that for no reason at all, except prejudice, except temptation of some other marga [path], you know, like Pyramid meditation, they have left. Pyramid meditation is offered by a man who used to be our preceptor. And people have gone to him thinking that what the Master could have done but could not do, he will be able to do. While I hope there will be at least some sense of satisfaction, but for me it is always a sorrow.
So, I don’t want to contaminate this joyful atmosphere with my personal feelings of sorrow for those who have left us voluntarily, knowingly, willingly. We can only pray that they come back and enjoy the fruit of sadhana here, knowing that what is available here may be copied, you know, like a cheap substitute elsewhere, but the real thing cannot be there. It is not arrogance on my part to say it but reality is always the truth, and the truth always sounds like arrogance.
So, once again I express my gratitude to all of you, for being here, for sharing Doreswamy Iyer’s joy, Brother Jagannathan’s happiness, and the cooperation of all of us. You know how much is coming up in the Mission. It is a big Mission today. It is not what it was when I was sent to inaugurate the ashram here, twenty-five years back. We have this ashram, we have the zonal ashram, we have the Spirituality Foundation in Kanakapura Road, Kaggalipura, and in Sarjapur I propose to build a facility for aged people. It is not necessarily an old people’s home, but it will be a place where people whose children are away can come and stay. We hope to have about twenty-four good rooms, there will be a kitchen, there will be a dining [hall], there will be a meditation hall, there will be preceptors. You all know the scheme and I believe some thirteen people have already given their names for it. I want to start that as soon as the SMSF inauguration is over. So, in due course, you will hear our people. We don’t announce for money, you know. I think it is obnoxious to ask for money or to demand money. We offer services.
So, that was the greatness of my Master, and we should try to emulate that greatness where the greatness is not the artificial humility like some Brahmins have. They construct houses with five-foot doors so that we have to bow down like that. And all that you have is broken heads, you know, and all this bowing. This is a humility where a man walks erect, in the consciousness of having a guru who is the transcending Guru in this universe, transcendent to all. The humility lies in the spirit with which you do his work: total dedication, total love. So humility is not what we understand normally by whatever we hear, whatever we see: people bowing and scraping, as we say. Humility is a mixture of an erect pose for this earth—because of the Master who is our greatest Master alive on earth ever—and total dedication to service, to his service. The combination is humility.
So I pray that you will all learn these lessons in your daily life, exhibit them in the way you live. Our life must become something which shows our inner qualities—not praise, not encomiums. As Babuji said, “A flower smells, and it attracts the bees. It doesn’t have to advertise ‘come here for smell’.” No? And in the Veda also it is said: yathaa vrikshasya sampushitasya duraad gandho vaathi evam—like when a tree is in flower, from far off you can smell it. You follow your nose; you go to the tree. Like that a good man attracts, they say, the goodness of other people who flock to him for instruction, for guidance. And our parampara (our lineage), the Sahaj Marg parampara is like that. Humility is an aspect, almost a total aspect of our existence. No pataatope—no aggrandizement, no self-praise; even avoiding praise of others. I rarely speak up in words of praise about my Guruji. It is not necessary. I mean it is like saying the sun is beautiful. You can say Aishwarya Rai is beautiful, but to say Lakshmi is beautiful (I mean the goddess), it’s not done. Or to say that God is great—it’s not done. So, our praise must be in the way we serve him. We serve him because we love him; so our work becomes an expression of our love, not our words. Our aspect during service becomes the exhibition of our humility; not saying “I am humble, sir,” which is a lie, because anybody who says he is humble is arrogant. So, please remember these lessons. We don’t want noise; we don’t want claps. Every time I come I tell you no noise. I am happy you all obey.
We want silence. Silence is the language of God. When we are silent we are able to listen to that voice. Each one of us when we clamor and clap and do a lot of tamasha [create a spectacle] like people in other sansthas do, we are blocking that out. It is called the weak but eternal voice which can only be heard in utter stillness. Therefore we sit in meditation, close all the senses, five senses. We may not hear, we may not see, but we feel. So other messages are heard with the ears, read with the eyes and the intellect, but here we partake of a sense of feeling—what we feel at this moment of my evolution, of that Almighty force, that Almighty power, that powerless power, forceless force, being-less being which we call the Ultimate. So I again pray for you all. May you all be blessed. Thank you.

The best underwriters help me sell.
The role of today’s Underwriter is complex. They must be part gatekeeper, part relationship manager, part marketer and sales manager. As Agents, we must understand, and respect these differing and often conflicting roles with which todays underwriters are tasked. If I were to boil it down into a simple description, I would call the very best Underwriters problem solvers and educators. The best Underwriters position themselves as an invaluable resource for their Agents. They continually educate us on the best way to configure coverage and services to effectively and efficiently manage risk. In doing so, they position themselves as a great source of information on how to underwrite to solve client problems and help you win more business.
The best underwriters approach the information gathering process in an efficient and holistic manner. They have a process that is organized and efficient rather than piecemeal. They understand there are only so many times we can go back to our clients and prospects for more information before we become viewed as unorganized. The best not only ask intelligent, intuitive questions, but they do it in a manner that is educational. They engage you in honest business conversations that explain the reasons for their questions, and how they use this information to build solutions.
The best underwriters help their agents in the qualifying and vetting process. The Agent may not understand a class of business as well as an underwriter, who has previous experience with that industry. That Underwriter can help the Agent better understand the nuances of that particular risk and coach them on what to look for and what questions to ask. Agents should talk to their favorite underwriters to help establish a pre call strategy before they call on a prospect.
Strong Underwriters are decision makers who want to partner with Agents on business opportunities. They also value our time. If they get a strong submission, with a target date and price range, the best Underwriters can and will give an answer quickly. Their answer doesn’t matter. I just want a yes, a no and a why so I can move forward. Or, I want a conditional response, and what I need to do to effectively communicate and negotiate the conditional aspects of their quote.
My least favorite underwriters are those won’t engage in frank conversations and avoid giving me bad news. I call them pleasers. They continue gathering information right up to the deadline, leading me to believe I have a viable market, only to decline. Time and reputation are the only things we have as Agents. I personally appreciate those Underwriters who give it to me straight.
The best underwriters help me sell. They engage in conversations on how their Loss Control, Claims and Underwriting solutions are the best approach to assist clients in solving problems. They give specific, tangible reasons why, their company’s experience, or disciplines, enhance their company’s value. Many companies laud their services, experience and approach as better than the competition.
The best show me why they are better and give me examples, stories and value propositions to help me sell them to my prospects and clients. Great underwriters are also good sales people, and are effective in joint sales calls and proposals. They are passionate about writing business and invested in helping their Agents succeed.
The best think long term and help me develop a long-term plan for retention. They build service platforms and timelines to create stability and the opportunity to drive service to minimize risk and improve experience. These approaches create stability for clients and loyalty from their agents.
My experience is that you only need a few great Underwriters to have exceptional success as an Agent. Find Underwriters that mirror the characteristics described in this article and endeavor to form a true business partnership and personal relationship with them. If they become invested in helping you succeed, you will.

text: Unlike protein hormones, which are heterogeneous, steroids can be quantified very accurately in biological samples by means of isotope dilution-mass spectrometry. This procedure allows the absolute identification and quantification oftestosterone inblood and other specimens. The procedure is based on the highly specific recognition of the steroid by mass spectrometry coupled to an exact estimation of recovery by addition of labeled testosterone (isotope dilution). According to a well validated method, 14C-labelled testosterone is added to the serum sample and the steroid fraction is extracted with an organic solvent and purified by gel chromatogra-phy on Sephadex LH-20. The testosterone-containing fraction is then chemically reacted with heptafluorobutyric anhydride to produce the 3-enol, 17^-diester of testosterone, a step which improves the sensitivity and the specificity of mass frag-mentography, since it increases the molecular mass of the steroid and minimizes the probability of spuriously detecting small molecular impurities contained in the sample. The derivative is then injected into the mass spectrometer and multiple ion detection is performed by recording m/e 680 and 682. The quantity of testosterone in the sample is then calculated from the ratio of the peak heights or peak areas and from the known amount of 14C-testosterone added (Siekmann 1979). The method is highly precise (1% variation in duplicate determinations) and sensitive (limit of detection: 5 pg) and is the reference method for testosterone determination currently used for measurement of testosterone concentrations in serum pools to be distributed in quality control programs (Thienpont etal. 1996).

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is urging people to vote against Republicans - and his former client - in the upcoming mid-term elections, telling CNN Friday in a brief man-on-the-street interview that it was the only way to stop the madness.
"Grab your family, grab your friends, grab your neighbors, get to the polls," said Cohen. "If not, you're gonna have another two or another six years of this craziness."
The message followed a viral tweet from Cohen earlier this week in which he called the upcoming elections "the most important vote in our lifetime."
Earlier this year Cohen plead guilty to a series of crimes, including campaign finance violations, tax evasion and bank fraud. Facing the possibility of decades behind bars, Cohen began cooperating with federal investigators in Robert Mueller's probe of collusions between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government.
Cohen suggested to CNN that he was done for good with Trump and the GOP, saying he had always been a lifelong Democrat and only changed parties at the request of the Republican National Committee.
It's a dramatic turn of events for Cohen, who spent years as a close confidante of the real estate billionaire and once famously said he would take a bullet for Trump. As Trump's fixer, Cohen handled many of his most sensitive matters, including the payment to Stormy Daniels - who says she had an extramarital affair with Trump back in 2006.
In an interview with ABC in July, Cohen said his family and country "came first."
Trump has returned the favor, lacing into his former lawyer on Twitter, accusing him in a subtweet of turning on him to get out of unrelated legal trouble. On Thursday Trump severed his last reaming public tie to Cohen by unfollowing him on Twitter.

Sparkle /spɑːk(ə)l/ verb: Shine brightly with flashes of light.
Every time we visited Nanay at the hospital these past few months Clover would light up that spark in Nanay’s eyes. The very last time we saw Nanay awake, a spark seemed to dance between the two of them. That night Nanay fell into a deep sleep. As reality set in among the rest of us Clover stayed true to herself. She wandered around, smiled, giggled and rearranged things. One of the nurses commented that she lit up the whole ward. It was so lovely to hear and it was so very true.
She’s a sparkle, a glitter and the light whenever it’s needed. It’s her super power. But it’s not her responsibility. It’s her glow and her essence. It’s who she is and the spark she exudes is contagious. She keeps me in the moment. She always has, even when she was in my belly.

Bumper ads - it's not short, it's fun sized!
At WVA, we should encourage you to tell your story into great length – an action-packed or emotionally-charged story that would unravel over a 3 or 4-minute video ad. Now that would be quite lucrative for us… but for you? Maybe not so much so.
But because we are nice people and put your interests first, we’ve been recommending over and over again – are you bored yet? – that as far as video ads are concerned, less can be more. Punchy words, striking visuals, your brand story told in no more than 6 seconds… that’s the essence of bumper ads.
“Bumper ads are a short video ad format, designed to allow you to reach more customers and increase awareness about your brand by using a short, memorable message. With videos of just six seconds or less, bumper ads let you reach people with bite-sized messages, while providing a minimal impact on their viewing experience.” – Google.
A study of 122 bumper campaigns revealed that in 70% of cases, bumper ads have caused a ‘significant lift’ in awareness of the brand. What’s more, it also found that nine in 10 drove ad recall, with an average lift of over 30%.
==> Short on time, long on impact!
Many large brands are using bumpers ads to drive top of the funnel goals like ad recall and awareness. Among them Netflix, Amazon, Airbnb, Old Spice and many more, as well as countless movies.
YouTube bumpers ads can work on their own or they can complement a TrueView or Google Preferred campaign, delivering incremental reach and frequency.
As for the practical benefits, think that shorter and more condensed ads are less intrusive and give users less incentive to permanently block. They are also faster to load and cheaper to make. You’re guaranteed to love, love, love ’em! However, if this isn’t enough to convince you, feel free to read or re-read our post on 5-second ads here.
Every video should relay one unique message as packing in loads of different content would confuse viewers. The key is to start from your core message instead of taking a longer ad and trying to cut it down to 6 seconds.
Focus on a single emotion for the most impact. Comedy is an efficient tool to convey a message and an emotion, however viewers should also be able to relate to the video.
We can find here similar elements than in print ad. The example below is a good illustration of that – combining humour and a scenario/situation viewers can empathise with. There is no information about the product itself as the ad relies on the assumption that viewers will understand the message.
Content is one (big) thing, however think about the context in which the ad will be viewed. Most ads are now being watched on mobile (in short burst) and with the sound off. This is why bumper ads do not necessarily need to be so complex. While more traditional ads aim at keeping the viewers watching (pleeease, not the “skip” button!) or at having the viewer engage with your ad (the sacrosanct Call To Action), bumper ads should create an impact and trigger an instant desire for the product.
In the below example, Krispy Kreme use a simplistic approach to promote its star product.
Why not create a series of “snackable” separate spots over a period of time as opposed to a long indigestible one? Bumpers ads are a cost-effective way to reach your target audience, ensuring your message is seen and heard and keep you top of mind over a period of time (as opposed to a one-off campaign). It also totally works with viewers’ short attention span.
Megan Haller (thinkwithgoogle) – Video, Content Marketing, Experience & Design – had a chat with the team behind the bumper ad. Here’s a condensed version of the full post about the video ad strategy behind the successful campaign.
Think of fun and original ways to weave your brand in the story. Don’t be shy, show yourself!
Each ad should relay just one message. If you have multiple messages to get across, you can build series of ads.
Using six-second bumpers and longer TrueView ads together allows a brand to tailor its story to an audience’s context, yielding better results.
Could your marketing strategy do with a boost right now? A series of bumper ads could breathe new life into your business! And it could all start with a chat – feel free to get in touch to find out how we can help.

But, what you see instead are sheets in a different order (2,4,5,3,1), as well as a number of font color changes: the sheet coordinates are changed from black to yellow, some of the info in the lower-right-hand corner is changed from black to green, and some of the text in the legend box in the lower-left-hand corner is changed from black to blue.
Page order problem is clear.
Text colour needs some additional investigation -- LibreOffice does use colours that are actually stored in attached VSD file.
You write, "Page order problem is clear." Do you mean the problem statement is clear, or that the problem solution is clear?
You write, "Text colour needs some additional investigation..." Should I do some investigation? I haven't dived into LO development at all. I could try to narrow it down a bit - a more minimal example that still reproduces the problem, if that would help.
Solution is clear for page order.
For text clr I will check why it was overridden by black, no action is required from you at the moment.
Of course if you want to contribute to LibreOffice, you are always welcome!
Check http://www.libreoffice.org/developers-2/ for ways to contribute.
Colours for text/fill/stroke can be set (or locked to defaults) by layer.
libvisio needs to parse LayerIX chunk (probably only layers with colour/transparency and "visible" flag are important at the moment) and LayerMem chunk to apply layer props as required.
Ok, sounds good! Thanks for the clarifications.
Not ready for development work as yet, but I'll keep that in mind. I'm relearning my C right now.
OK, I fixed the page order in libvisio git and will be in the next release, which means that this fix will be for sure in LibreOffice 3.6.0. The text colour stuff is a bit more complicated and I will try to have a run on it too, just not sure how much time it will take.
As an update: this 50-sheet document I had imported earlier, all of a sudden shuffled its sheets into some new order, not the one I had put them in (corresponding to the Visio document). I'm wondering if your bug fix will fix this as well.
Then you create a document in Visio and start to add pages to it, Visio increment page IDs for each new page.
If you remove some pages from the start or shuffle pages, Visio do not re-numerate them internally. To keep proper (for representation) order Visio stores ordered list of page IDs.
Before Fridrich's fix libvisio was not taking this list into account but read pages in the sequence it's stored in the file (with weird results you observed).
With this fix libvisio uses the list to throw pages in the right order.
Thanks for the explanation. So is there a way in LO Draw 3.5 to number the sheets so they stay put in the order I want them in? I suppose one way would be to start a brand-new document in Draw, and then copy and paste the objects into the new file. Would that work, or would these page ID's still come along for the ride?
Please disregard my last comment. I found out today that I was accidentally re-opening the Visio document, instead of the LO Draw document; I was just seeing the bug exactly as originally reported. My LO Draw document has not reshuffled its pages.
Any update with new LO version (4.0.5 or 4.1.0)? I opened the document on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday but didn't see (certainly missed) the point.
> (certainly missed) the point.
Page order was fixed while ago.
Layers are not supported yet, hence color part is not fixed.
> > (certainly missed) the point.
> Page order was fixed while ago.
> Layers are not supported yet, hence color part is not fixed.
libvisio now considers the layer colour information and this bug is fixed. We need a libvisio release and integration in LO for it to bubble up into LO. But I consider this one fixed now.

The ultimate goal in the practice Feng Shui is to harness the benevolent forces and avoid the malevolent, to promote personal health, harmony and prosperity.
With the reawakening interest in Feng Shui, ‘fashionable' versions have emerged that deviate from the authentic classical version, without its underlying philosophy or scientific methodologies. Inappropriate practices do not produce beneficial results, and at worst, can bring harm to the occupants.
The proper application of Feng Shui is specific to the individual person, building and site. The solution is likened to a unique set of mathematical combinations, designed to harness the optimum energy levels for the occupants.
When Feng Shui is practised in its true form, it is possible to invoke specific benefits. For example, healing energies for the ailing, intellectual prowess for the student, advancement for the career individual, wealth for the business professional, power for those in high positions, creativity for the artist, or relationship for the single. An overarching ambience of harmony and peace for the household, or a sense of progress and achievement for the work-team can be brought into play as a finale.
No cause is too inconsequential for Feng Shui to have an impact: whether it is to ensure your child overcomes his perpetual colds, gain respite from the constant ‘family on the go’ syndrome, to achieving personal goals or landing a multi-million dollar deal.
And no space is too small or too big for Feng Shui to enact its benefits: from a bed-sitter to a bungalow, a shop-lot to a commercial block, a multi-story high-rise or a property development complete with its own golf course or marina.
Whatever the current situation you find yourself in, Feng Shui will be able to help alleviate your overall fortune.

Not only is college football and the NFL in full swing, but a lot of us are also gearing up for touch football games on Thanksgiving. This year, take a look at the injuries in the Pro Ball and be ready. We need to take potential injuries seriously, especially those of us who may play only a few times a year.
Five to six weeks of rehabilitation that includes strengthening exercises designed to rebuild the muscles and restore the range of motion. This should be enough to recover from the injury without tears.
If a complete tear occurs, then young and active patients would often require minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to reconstruct the ACL. This may require between six to nine months of post-operative rehabilitation and the patient is then ready to return for the next season.
Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving, and visit NYBoneAndJoint.com for more information.

Wei-Huan Chen Aug. 24, 2016 Updated: Aug. 25, 2016 12:27 p.m.
Five years after the death of Amy Winehouse, the mythology of the doomed, conflicted artist remains as prevalent, and as tired, as ever.
"We want our blues singers to die," says a ragged but brimming-with-life Janis Joplin, played by the marvelous Kacee Clanton, in "A Night With Janis Joplin," showing at the Alley Theatre through Sept. 18. She says it with disdain, implying that the phrase "tortured artist" might be less about an artist's drug habits and childhood traumas than it is about the broader culture's sadistic tendencies.
Is it time to hang up that narrative of agony? "A Night With Janis Joplin" suggests so.
The show does everything to pay tribute to Joplin except fetishize her death. Its trajectory isn't a downward spiral but a steadily pulsing ascent, like an angel with flowing hair and a bottle of bourbon flapping toward heaven.
There's a whole lot of music and nary a story here, so you might say the show's not true to life. But what was truer to Joplin's life than music?
Speaking of which, Joplin's annoyance with dying blues singers - she's talking about Bessie Smith - ends with a statement that's more complicated that it seems: She tells us she's planning on sticking around for a long time.
The audience, boisterous and enraptured the whole night, fell into silence at that statement. Of course, the irony that Joplin became one of the icons of the ill-fated "27 Club" wasn't lost on the crowd.
I say they were wrong to fall silent. They should have cheered. In a show that has the gall to end with the song "I'm Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven," Joplin saying she's in it for the long haul should be taken in earnest.
Put another way, just as jazz migrated from the back-alley club to the conservatory, so has rock 'n' roll moved from the boozy bar to the sit-down performance hall. Joplin didn't realize she'd be embalmed at the Alley Theatre and that the long haul meant eternity, yet here she is, alive in 2016 through the impeccable Clanton, breaking house rules by swigging whiskey inside the theater.
Aw, no booze at this show? It makes sense.
"A Night With Janis Joplin" has none of the youth or spontaneity that its music invokes. As a production conceived for Broadway, it offers instead precision, artistry and talent. The talent spills off the stage in every song.
Clanton's voice is full of dirt and booze, and it also holds a ghostly, operatic quality that balloons out in songs like the remarkable "Cry Baby." Her Joplin is also generous. She offers the stage to Etta James (Tawny Dolley), Odetta (Cicily Daniels) and Aretha Franklin (Amma Osei). But it's Jennifer Leigh Warren, as Blues Singer, who steals the night in shattering performances of "Today I Sing the Blues" and "Kozmic Blues/I Shall Be Released."
Smart for the show-makers to never put Warren together with Clanton in a duet. Planets aren't meant to collide.
The rest of the production - the band, the effects, the set - are impressively understated, meant to first and foremost serve the five vocal powerhouses that command the night.
"A Night With Janis Joplin" finds truth in the Port Arthur-born blues-rock singer without chaos nor morbidity. Siblings Michael and Laura Joplin came up with the idea for the show, and it's understandable they would want their sister enshrined in this way, in a slick concert devoid of the reminders of her death. With so much music, where's the room?
Tragedy, even if it defined Joplin's place in history, doesn't fit in a show so in love with its subject. Besides, when you get to the show's final moments, as Joplin flaps her arms like wings during "I'm Gonna Rock My Way to Heaven," the last thing you want to do is cry.

Let's get this straight from the onset.
Under the 1st Amendment, as it pertains to "Freedom of Religion," it is the constitutional right of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to build his mosque and Islamic center two blocks from ground zero.
It's the letter of the law, and frankly, an open-and-shut case. But is it?
By reading between the lines, we often find the story within the story. It's called the hidden agenda, the gray area. The law then becomes more elastic, requiring additional scrutiny. Thus, in order to decipher the invisible ink, critical thought requires viewing circumstance within the spirit of the law.
I don't need to dissect the issues to formulate an opinion regarding this argument. There is absolutely no ambiguity in my analysis. The Islamists' intent to build this mosque adjacent to ground zero is an abomination of good will, sensitivity and judgment. It is offensive and obtrusive to the most basic of sensibilities.
Do we not remember what happened there on Sept. 11, 2001? Should we believe that under the pretext of tolerance we could ostensibly eradicate the scars of 9/11? What about the sensibilities of the exponential numbers of family, friends, and friends of friends who lost someone? How about the 360 firefighters who lost their lives? Does a mosque solemnize their slaughter?
A place is made sacred because it was visited by the miraculous or the transcendent such as Fatima or by the presence there of great nobility and sacrifice such as Normandy or by the blood of martyrs and the suffering of the innocent such as ground zero.
Ground zero is hallowed ground. It belongs to those who suffered and died there. We are obliged to preserve the dignity and memory of the place, never allowing it to be forgotten, trivialized or misappropriated.
We are prisoners of the 1st Amendment. Thus, it's their right to build the mosque even though it is morally offensive for them to do so. Even President Obama sanctioned the rights of Islam under the guise of freedom of worship. How noble. Too bad he didn't have the courage to do some peaceful proselytizing and remind Islam of their lack of religious tolerance.
Freedom of worship is not specific to just Americans. It is a basic human right, and where it lacks protection there is serious injustice. How many churches or synagogues are allowed in Mecca?
I am tired of being lectured to by Mayor Bloomberg and his progressive supporters regarding my lack of religious tolerance and support for the Constitution. At 22 I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, then picked up a rifle and walked the walk. What did they do? This is not an issue of intolerance or bigotry. If that's the argument, then there is no debate. This is not a matter of constitutional rights; it's a matter of decency — and doing the right thing.
The project has been touted as an interfaith venture. Do you not see this duplicity? There is nothing in the design that resembles an interfaith component. Subsequently, Akbar Ahmed, a leading Islamic educator, said, "To have an Islamic center is like rubbing salt in open wounds. The space should include a synagogue and a church so it will truly be interfaith. Many Islamic intellectuals do not support this project, and their moderation is encouraging."
I ask myself, what is the right thing to do? Where lies the chance to be noble? Both sides of the issue should ponder this question. The Constitution must be honored, and the noble nature of America must ascend and allow this project to go forward.
However, nobility is universal among all righteous individuals; it is neither culturally relevant nor situational. Thus Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf must likewise ascend the hierarchy of nobility and build his mosque somewhere else.
When this happens we will know peace.

Hi everyone! You know how it is, you go onto Pinterest looking for that recipe you wanted to try and get distracted by EVERYTHING. Especially quilt-related tutorials, in my case. When I was making one of the bird blocks, I thought I'd elongate the body by doing half-rectangle triangles (HRTs) instead of half-square triangles (HSTs). What a FAIL. Then came my Pinterest session ... and I saw tutorials for HRTs, touting how "easy" they were if only you made them "this" way. I had to try!
I tried the one at this link first. I thought I had a bunch of 10" squares in Christmas fabrics that I could play with. Rather than re-read the tutorial, I thought I remembered the cutting directions just fine and started. Only I cut wrong. It really shouldn't have mattered - as long as I had rectangles. Right?
... but really, it's a pretty good tute. I just messed up. Following the directions might have helped. Ha ha ha.
For a first attempt, though, they aren't too bad.
Side note: Yes, if you look in the background of the shot above, you can see what else I've been playing with. Since I dug into the Christmas fabric, I realized I have a ton of scraps I need to use up there, too - so I started a paper foundation/phone book quilt. I've got to use things up!!!
Anyway ... then I stumbled onto another HRT tute, done quite differently, and with a sweet, little twist! You can find it at this link. She gives very thorough instructions, to include which way to press your seams, so they snug up nicely. She also gives directions if you have a specialty ruler AND if you don't. Very nice!
Isn't that on-point square in the center a fun touch?! You could easily leave that out, but it adds even more panache, if you ask me.
I do have the specialty ruler she used. It really helped with the squaring up process. Or is that "rectangling up"?
Your HRT's are looking good. That Pinterest or even just Googling can lead you down so many rabbit holes.
Love your first block! The colors are so striking!
Thank you for stopping by; please leave a comment!

New Nordic Food Gods Loosen Up On Strictly Local Cuisine : The Salt The New Nordic chefs have helped make the flavors of Scandinavia — from reindeer to foraged fungi — among the most revered in the food world. But lately they've started talking about evolving their cooking beyond local ingredients.
The Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen is where chefs and social scientists explore the raw materials and flavors of Scandinavia.
Hermansen remembers the lemon had actually been requested by the boat's resident flavor chemist for an experiment.
Here in the Nordic Food Lab, chefs, chemists and social scientists spend their days amid high tech equipment and old wooden barrels to find innovative ways to distill and enhance the flavors of Scandinavia.
For the last several years this tight clique has helped make these flavors — from reindeer to foraged funghi — among the most revered and emanated in the food world.
It all started with the Manifesto of the New Nordic Kitchen, drafted ten years ago by a handful of regional chefs. While none of its ten points explicitly reads "no imports," the overarching emphasis is on local ingredients. Once noma, with it's rigorous locavore philosophy, became the de facto poster child for the movement, this emerging style of cooking seemed to be less inclusive of morsels from far-flung corners of the world.
That may be why several star chefs in the region recently declared to the Danish newspaper Politiken that it's time to evolve — maybe even throw in a lemon here or there.
"For me, the words 'New Nordic cuisine' are totally dead," noma's René Redzepi told the paper. "And I've never liked it because it strips chefs in the region of their personality and puts them under the umbrella of 'New Nordic.' That's wrong, and many successful chefs around the Nordic region hate the label. They're sick of it."
Even Claus Meyer, perhaps the movement's most vocal champion, now co-owns a Copenhagen eatery featuring Singaporean street food. He tells Politiken, "The time has come to meet the world with open eyes. Now we know where we come from, who we are, and that we have something to offer. And that's why we can lift our gaze out of the furrows and use a little curry or a sliver of foie gras without being afraid of losing ourselves in the process." Or even a lemon.
Perhaps it's no surprise that these creative minds, a decade in, would be ready to push ahead to new frontiers. But you might expect a little resistance from tourism officials. After all, Copenhagen has seen a significant growth in tourism over the last few years, especially when compared to the European average.
Emil Spangenberg with Wonderful Copenhagen says the city's food festival, Copenhagen Cooking has doubled in size in just a few years and is now the largest in Northern Europe. In 2012, a full fifth of foreign articles on Denmark were about plate-gazing.
But officials like Christina Heinze Johansson with VisitDenmark seem to be reacting with typical Danish cool. "When noma was breaking out I got a lot of calls from journalists all wanting to get a table." That would have been during the three years noma held the title of "world's best restaurant." In 2013 it slipped to number two.
But she says that while the requests — and her pitches — have gotten more nuanced, the journalists haven't stopped calling.
Change, she says, is making the Scandinavian food scene stronger. And meanwhile, the fundamentals of the New Nordic kitchen (local produce, foraging, vegetables) are still cropping up on plenty of "hot for 2014" lists (including our own).
As Johansson sees it, the most essential quality of New Nordic as a concept (in food, architecture or film) is the ability to find luxury in simple things. That, she says, is something Scandinavians are inherently good at, and it's not something that's going to disappear even as the local restaurant scene evolves.

Opening this Saturday, "Untitled 11" is an annual group exhibition that showcases a wide array of artistic voices. This year's collection is curated by jurors Tom Rassieur and Caroline Kent. Now in its 11 year, SooVAC's series represent broader conversations that is starting to unfold through the work of Minneapolis-based artists.
"It will be interesting to see what the works looks like when installed together, and to look for ways in which the works speak to each other," says Kent.
[jump] The selection process wasn't easy, as Rassieur and Kent whittled down the exhibition's applicant pool from 190 submissions to the 18 participating artists. Rassieur, the John E. Andrus III Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Kent, co-founder of St. Paul's exhibition space the Bindery Projects, both sifted through the massive amount of applications on their iPads.
Using gut instincts and past curation experience, they have selected a provocative group of artists from multiple disciplines.
The resulting blend of artists at different points in their careers will foster a unique atmosphere made up of various perspectives. Pieces include paintings of rust-colored riot scenes, evocative multimedia collages, and hollow casts of bullets dispensed through candy machines.
People who visit "Untitled 11" can expect to see "a range of ways of working, and less traditional ways of seeing painting, sculpture, and photography," says Kent.
There will be an opening reception Saturday, November 15 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Easter is nearly here, bringing with it signs of spring. One of my favorite things on these special days is to gather my family and friends to share good food and stories and, of course, add to the place in my mind that stores so many precious memories.
I find as time passes, these memories and unforgettable moments become even more priceless once a loved one is no longer seated at the table.
Remember, every minute is a gift. I ask each of you to also remember there is someone, somewhere in our community, who may need a little help making this Easter one to remember. Please consider giving to Friends in Service Helping, Ron Wood Family Resource Center, Food for Thought or some other community outreach service. Without looking too hard, you may find someone right down the street who could use a little help delivered with love.
Happy Easter from my family to each of you. Make some beautiful memories.
Place chorizo in a saucepan and cook over medium heat. Rough-chop the chorizo when it’s about half done. This will make chopping easier. When done, remove from pan and drain on paper towel and set aside.
While the chorizo is browning, combine eggs and heavy cream in a bowl, and thoroughly whip. Add pepper, cumin and salt. Rough-chop the cilantro and set aside. Finely chop the de-seeded jalapeno pepper and green onions. Add cilantro, jalapeno and green onions to the egg mixture and gently fold ingredients together. Once that’s complete, gently fold in drained chorizo.
Pour the mixture into a buttered, 12-inch, deep-dish pie plate.
Bake at 350 degrees for eight minutes. GENTLY (you do not want your frittata to fall) pull out oven rack and sprinkle Panko bread crumbs and the cheese of your choice over the top. Return to oven and continue baking another 22 minutes or until firm. To check for done-ness, insert a toothpick into the center of the frittata. If it comes out clean, it’s done. To use the chef method, using your three center fingers, gently touch the center and if firm to the touch, your masterpiece is ready. Just be careful not to burn yourself.
Prepare fruit, slicing the banana and cutting the remainder into half-inch cubes. Combine in a bowl. If you want to kick the flavor up a notch by adding the jalapeno, be sure to de-seed it before finely chopping.
Finely chop cilantro and add both jalapeno and cilantro to fruit mixture. Squeeze the juice of three limes into the bowl and drizzle with honey. Gently mix and let sit in the refrigerator while preparing the frittata, allowing flavors to marry.
Serving a basket of piping-hot biscuits with this is always a nice touch. Use any basic biscuit recipe and again, for a more personal touch, add a bit of the queso fresco, crumbled goat cheese or even cheddar cheese — whichever is your preference — to the mix. These cheeses are dry enough to hold together through baking. Jalapeno jelly presented on the side is a nice touch as well.

Specgraph's latest state of the art Retail Anti-theft system, based on Radio-Frequency (RFID) technology. According to a study pilferage, shoplifting and stock shrinkage currently accounts for 1 to 2.5% revenue loss in large format stores in India. Mega retail chains and large store are currently investing a lot on EAS systems for anti-shoplifting, asset protection.
EAS system can be used for apparel stores, music stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets. Devices like labels, hard tags, gates, electronic sensors and Electro-mechanical anchors are used for preventing thefts. Only RF technology allows for integrated barcode price scanning and deactivation of EAS security tags and labels in a single, smooth step that is transparent to cashiers and consumers alike.
A small Radio-Frequency circuit inside each tag or label works with RF sensors to protect merchandise from shoplifters. Low-cost disposable RF-EAS tags and labels can protect virtually any type of merchandise like Cassettes, CDs, VCDs, Health and Beauty Care Products, Daily items etc.
EAS Systems achieves its full potential with radio frequency technology to serve the security labels. Radio Frequency (RF) based offers the latest in sensor technology, with sophisticated system designed to optimize tag detection.

The Alumnae Association of the Girls’ High and Normal School was organized on January 19, 1889 and was incorporated three years later on June 10, 1892. It derived its name from that of the school, which, that year, was located at 17th and Spring Garden Streets –the first of two successive Girls’ High buildings on that corner — in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1893, The Philadelphia Normal School, at 13th and Spring Garden Streets was opened. Thus the two schools were separated, but the Alumnae Association retained its original name.
Thus from its beginning, the founders of the Alumnae Association planned a cultural and philanthropic program, which attracted the attention and interest of civic leaders in Philadelphia. At that time women were not generally leaders in social and civic affairs. Clubs and Alumni groups were mainly men’s realm. When a Bazaar was held in 1891 at the Third Regiment Armory on South Broad Street, the Mayor, City Council members, prominent church groups and men’s clubs all supported the project. In a period of three or four days the magnificent sum of $67,000 was raised! These tremendous profits became the nucleus of our present treasury. To the foresight and enormous efforts of our founders and the early membership, we are deeply indebted.
In those early years of our organization, there was no teachers’ retirement plan. In 1893, the Annuity and Aid Association was established to provide aid to needy teachers who were graduates of the school. Much suffering was alleviated by the administration of this fund in a quiet and dignified manner. The Alumnae considered the Annuity and Aid Association and the Trust Fund the most glorious work of the organization.
The membership in those first days of the Association numbered approximately 1,000 graduates. The Alumnae Trust Fund expended about $1,200 annually and was used by graduates desiring to borrow money to further pursue their studies.
For some years in providing a cultural program for its members, the Association maintained weekly classes in French, German, physical culture, current literature, and Shakespearean study. In 1894, the Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania granted the request of the Alumnae Association that the Scientific Department be open to women, and that graduates of the Girls’ High and Normal Schools be entered without examination.
A permanent Fund was started in 1893 with the hope of raising enough funds to build an Alumnae House. This idea did not seem feasible; so the Alumnae Association rented an office in the Witherspoon Building on Juniper Street, where Executive Board meetings were held. This comfortable furnished room proved a favorite center-city place for Alumnae to meet their friends. In 1958, the Board of Education included in its plans for the new school building our lovely Alumnae Board Room, located on the first floor of GHS at Broad Street and Olney Avenue, and we are most fortunate to have this unusual privilege in a public school building.
In 1901, the Alumnae Association presented to the high school several fine reproductions of Greek and Roman statuary. Originally placed in the corridors and the assembly hall of the old building, the statues have been moved to new locations in subsequent buildings, and still today, these statues lend a classic touch to our modern school.
In 1915 a group of young students formed a second alumnae association, entitled The Alumnae Association of the Philadelphia High School for Girls. This group and the original group merged in June 1956. Both of these Associations had done many splendid things for their Alma Mater. Since their principles and ideals were similar in purpose, the merger resulted in an even stronger GHS Alumnae Association. The name of the newer association was adopted.

Carriers have a special edition called Routyn for Transportation.
The scope of this edition is to manage resources such as tractors, trailers and drivers individually. Routyn tracks and keeps record of all known positions and timestamps of these resources. In particular, the drivers Hours-of-Service (or the EC 561/2006 directive) can be managed as Routyn foresees their accounting at each stop and during each traveling time.
Routyn for transportation allows single-day full truckload (TL) planning for resources that depart from a hub and return to the same place at the end of the working day. It performs freight optimization and sequencing taking in consideration loading and unloading time windows, and many other resources.
Multi-day planning (and international transportation) for TL considers sleeping times and country regulations of cabotage.
Both the single-day and the multi-day optimization consider movements such as relaying trailers at swap stations (or hubs) whether synchronously (having both tractors and drivers physically present at the same time) or asynchronously (trailers can be left at a hub for later retrieval).
Routyn for transportation also allows drawing relay networks. The system optimizes freight transportation based on all available options such as using a relay network with exclusive resources or traveling directly between loading and unloading locations.
