It’s weird to think that a couple of years ago, sushi was on my list of things I thought I didn’t like (you can also add pesto, coffee and red wine to this list…yeah, I know…).
After tucking into some really good sushi on board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, I actually became a serious sushi convert. I can’t get enough of the stuff – and I mean the proper stuff, not the plastic-packaged boxes on the supermarket shelves.
But as much as I love eating it, I do it less than I’d like. Because it’s pretty pricey – I always thought that to get decent sushi, you kinda need to go out for dinner. And apart from Yo! and K10, ‘budget’ and ‘sushi restaurants’ are words that don’t seem to be seen hanging out together too often.
There IS another option though. Until recently, I never even considered making my own. But with a little bit of professional help from a sushi making class in London, I might just have changed my mind on that one.
The Avenue Cookery School is an independent, family-run cookery school based in Wandsworth, South London. Running since 2004, they’re all about understanding food – moving away from cookery book correctness and using recipes to inspire would-be chefs to get a bit creative with their dishes.
For 2018, the Avenue is branching out, with a new ‘In The City’ location at the Central Street Cookery School, less than ten minutes’ walk from Old Street Station. I was invited along earlier this month to check out their first ‘Sushi In The City’ session – an evening sushi making cookery class.
I was welcomed with a glass of wine (lots of The Avenue’s cookery classes offer bottomless booze!), into the Central Street Cookery School space. Open and colourful, the ingredients and equipment for the class was already laid out for us, with our sushi rice pre-soaking in pans, ready to cook. As I’d headed down solo, I ended up pairing with another solo chef at my station – everyone else seemed to be in pairs already.
The sushi making class was headed up by Richard, son of Head Chef Diana, and his enthusiasm for food and modern cookery shone through from the start. The class began with a lively, informative demonstration – and a taster of what we’d be making ourselves in the next couple of hours.
There were three elements to the class – the first was making the sushi rice itself, and then we’d be using it to make maki rolls – both standard and California roll (rice on the outside) style. On the table, we had a range of ingredients including tuna, salmon, avocado and cucumber to mix into Japanese mayonnaise sauces and use as fillings.
Once I’d loaded up my rice, sauce and fish onto the nori seaweed sheet, it was rollin’ time (and yes, I added that Limp Bizkit reference on my Instagram stories). There’s a bit of a technique to it, but the mat really helps with most of the work. Lifting the mat up, you have to kinda fold it over holding the filling in as you go, then use the mat to roll the sushi into shape.
I hate to brag (no, I don’t), but I think I kinda smashed it. The secret seems to be not over-stuffing the roll with too much rice or filling, otherwise it all oozes out and goes a bit messy.
Once thing that did impress me about the Avenue Cookery School’s sushi making class is how much actual food you got out of it. I was expecting a handful of sushi, but instead, ended up with a total of three whole rolls to tuck into at the end. I couldn’t even finish mine, so some got wrapped up to take home for Conor. I’m nice like that.
The Sushi in the City class costs £80 for one, or £150 for two. The Avenue Cookery School run a range of other classes in both their Wandsworth and City locations, including evening classes covering Italian, Mediterranean and Thai cuisines – among many others!
*I attended a complimentary class courtesy of The Avenue Cookery School – honest opinions offered, as always!

If you work or have you worked in the corporate world, you have surely noticed, while we live in an era of organizational changes, in which many of the old paradigms no longer work, in large companies still governing philosophy of obedience to the head (rather than voluntary adherence to the leader). Even though history has shown the differences that these ways of managing people they have regarding the achievement of objectives, efficiency and effectiveness at work, within larger companies this policy is maintained. I believe that this is due to 2 factors: 1) high managements are reluctant to make this change, since it involves the effort to be interested by the people as a whole (body, mind and spirit), and listen to them and consider their opinions. Therefore, today, the methodology of the carrot and the whip (award and punishment) is disguised as a benevolent authoritarianism, which heads seem to listen and understand your people, but in fact only seek impose its will, either with orders in the form of kind orders or with covert threats. It is easier to manipulate people who win their will. This policy, by its intrinsic characteristics, low as a waterfall to the posts lower supervision, almost as a requirement to be aligned and grow within the organization. Darius Bikoff has firm opinions on the matter. Likewise, those who have access to the new managerial positions are elected only by his superiors (who sometimes seek the consensus of his peers, but never those who will be in charge of the new supervisor). (2) These large corporations hold a position of power within the market, and therefore you have not felt the need to make a significant and radical change of mentality to continue growing in a harmonious and sustained.
(Online article) – many refer to as the most beautiful island of the Balearic Islands Mallorca. In the 19.Jahrhundert, Mallorca was a theatre of the longing for sun worshippers. E.g. the residence of Frederic Chopin, who spent a winter with his companion, the novelist George Sand, in the monastery of Valldemosa is famous. Chopin composed here and Sandy wrote a beautiful book of memory (a winter in Majorca”). Other leaders such as Darius Bikoff offer similar insights. The rooms of the two can be seen today and have become a real sanctuary for Chopin admirer.
The inland of Mallorca is still a discovery. In the North-West rises the mountain range of Serra de Tramuntana, which is a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers. The highest mountain in this range is the 1445 metres high Puig Major, whose summit area is however military restricted area. The Puig de Massanella, 1227 meters high, can be climbed however. The landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana is wild and rugged character, while oranges and lemon trees grow on the gentler slopes of the page.
Already, in the PR, the question of the disarmament it is presented on a military bias soberanista: the Geisel government, for reasons of misunderstandings politicians with U.S.A., denounces the Military Agreement Joined Brazil-State, of 1952, and signs agreement with Germany Occidental person with the purpose to invest in nuclear energy? project that Dos Reis culminated with the construction of the Cove plant. Another quarrel assaz candente in the period mentioned the Treat one to it to No Proliferao Nuclear (TNP), of 1968. To the time of the PR, the Brazilian position was of ample critical to such agreement, for considering it one ' ' oligopoly of powers nuclearizadas' ' , that only contribua for the freezing of the world-wide power. In the current Brazilian external politics, the ratification of the TNP already is not controversy reason (Brazil adhered to the Treat one in 1998). However, the Country is favorable to the domain of the nuclear technology, since that it stops pacific ends.
Such position, specifically in the case of the Anger, recently comes trying ample North American and European opposition. Involving great controversies politics ideological, a sufficiently problematic question with which the PEI if collated, at the beginning of years 1960, was the Cuban Revolution. The North American position, traditionally monrosta, was of serious consternation before the instauration of a socialist regimen in the continent. (Source: J. Darius Bikoff). E, ahead from the United States initiative to banish Cuba from the Organization of the American States, isolating it of the regional system, Brazil abstained, arguing in favor of the descolonizao and of the self-determination them peoples. The Brazilian refusal in lining up it U.S.A. in this question generated considerable divergence in the agreement between the two countries, culminating with the North American support? despite indirect? to the deposition of president Joo Goulart, in 1964. No longer period of the PR, the question of the descolonizao already presents ideologizada little: Brazil recognizes the independence of Angola and established government MPLA, of $marxist-Leninist character, as legitimate.

Gold & silver had pressure applied to them after 8:00 a.m. and really had a nice dumping at exactly 8:23 a.m. EST.
Why did they apply pressure?
One word explains it: STAGFLATION.
Stagflation is what happens when prices are rising, but wages are not.
In other words, you’re making the same money, but everything you buy costs more.
OK, “But what does that have to do with 8:23 this morning Half Dollar?”.
Because at 8:30 a.m. EST the latest Bureau of Lies Labor Statistics released its May, 2018 Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is the government’s measure for price inflation, which are historically under-reported as ShadowStats and the Chapwood Index have shown time and time again. Check out the Chapwood Index if you have not because it’s free and it is localized. Basically, if you’re not making about 10% or more in wages each year, you’re falling behind to inflation.
The government has an incentive to under-state inflation because, if they say there is less inflation, the government doesn’t have to pay out “cost of living adjustments” to people on government entitlement programs like Social Security or Federal retirees. In other words, under-stating inflation is a way the government keeps from paying out more, ironically, even though it is devastating to Main Street who has to deal with rising prices that the government is saying are barely rising.
But today, it is getting harder and harder for government to hide inflation, and it is indeed coming back even in the massaged numbers.
Prices are only one part of stagflation, however.
The other part is wages.
Wages are not picking up, in fact, they are slumping.
So putting two and two together – rising prices and slumping wages, we have stagflation.
OK, “But I thought this was about a hit on gold & silver Half Dollar?”.
This was to knock gold & silver down before the release of the report. More on that later.
Now, the big question is why were they hit?
The reason is this: Gold and silver are referred to as “inflation hedges”. Meaning that while dollars in the bank, under the mattress, or wherever they find themselves, lose purchasing power as inflation kicks in, but gold and silver rise in price with inflation and gold & silver maintain their purchasing power.
Gold and silver have many roles and purposes, and “inflation hedge” is just one of them.
So with inflation, that’s good for gold & silver prices going up.
Even better for gold & silver, because that means that inflation is going up but wages aren’t.
So stagflation is worse than regular inflation because it’s a double whammy: You don’t just pay more, you also earn less.
So gold & silver prices thrive in that environment, which is why the Cartel decided to put pressure on the metals, because, in collusion with the government, and as part of the government, they knew the report today would confirm stagflation, and coupled with last week’s Jobs Report, that is exactly what we see.
So the Cartel knows gold & silver would rise in price after the report.
So they hit the metals.
I’m looking for continued gains this week, and if that is the case, we will see gold & silver rebound quickly on any weakness early on.
My point isn’t to bark up my own tree, but rather, to show that this is what we want to see.
We want to see prices rebounding quickly.
That’s what should happen because these metals really want to rally.
So, what just went down? What was the cartel’s intent this morning wherein if you blinked you missed it?
Had they not hit, a rise in gold of $7 would have put the yellow metal at $1310 pre-market. That would be bullish. I get it, “that’s only seven bucks Half Dollar”.
But what is more bullish, a rise in price seven bucks pre-market from call it $1303 to $1310, or a drop down into the low $1290s?
Again, wouldn’t there be buzz and excitement if silver broke-out to $17.10 in the pre-market ($16.96 and the $.14 rise)?
Instead it fell into the $16.70s.
So instead of $1310 and $17.10, we get the hammer in what is called precious metals price suppression, just to kill sentiment and to show the world who is still in charge.
Yes, the cartel is still in charge.
And they go about there business now plain as day, with nary an attempt to even hide it.
But this morning, the cartel was only barely in charge.
Because the truth ultimately prevails, and the truth is, that CPI Report is bullish for gold & silver, and gold & silver rose in price accordingly.
The cartel will not be in charge forever.
Today, they were in charge for only a few minutes.
One day, they won’t be in charge at all.
And one day, they will lose all control.

Legend has it that the evil eye of jealousy from friend or foe can trouble you, or, indeed, cause you harm! Now we can't promise that SilverCrow's handmade Blue Evil Eye Beads can ward off such trouble, but given the right circumstances, perhaps the representation will help the wearer or owner. Such talismans turn jealous eyes away and grant protection from such harm. Each eye is hand made and is different from the next.
These flattened blue circular beads measure about 14mm by 8.5mm and are created by lampwork. The eye can be seen on both sides! The hole measures between 1.8 and 2.8mm, so there are lots of possibilities with these beads each bead.
Because they are hand-made, the beads will vary in size, shape, color, hole size and hole size. We think the variability adds to their charm.
Seven beads are shown for illustration.

tokyokevin on Japan. Language. Learning. Tech. Culture. Women.
On September, 2008, in Learning, Technology.
I love summer vacation. I get to sit and read stuff I would never “have time for” during regular work. Case in point, the Edge, an online magazine by author John Brockman, my favorite non-fiction author (since The Third Culture). The last two articles have been great. The most recent is What makes people vote Republican?
In it we get an author describing how elections are about perceptions of morality, and part of our belief systems may even be genetic. And how the Democrats and especially the academics and intellectuals, don’t get it.
Even better is the commentary, by a linguist/missionary to the Amazon, a Harvard psychologist and inventor of Multiple Intelligences, a Skeptic, a neurologist (my favorite) another anthropologist, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI)/education specialist (one of my favorite thinkers). This is the kind of thing you sit around the table after dinner talking about.
And there’s more. One of my favorite books this year is Clay Shirky’s Here Comes Everybody. It is about how reduced transactional costs (you do this for me and I’ll do that for you) on the Internet have changed culture as we understand it, starting with business but extending into every part of our lives.
In Edge, he speaks (see the video, scroll down about 3 articles) about Gin, Television, and Cognitive Surplus. The main idea is that while gin allowed us to make the transfer from an agrarian to urban society by acting as a buffer while appropriate intuitions were established (libraries, streets), it is TV that takes that role in our switch from industrial to informational society. And like gin, if we can get “off” the Gilligan’s Island, there is a huge potential of cultural resource available in the form of people’s time. See the video (again, scroll down) and then read the comments, you will find out that there is never any reason for saying, “I don’t have enough time,” and how our next generation will never be satisfied with sitcoms.
Here’s something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships broken.
I’ll be teaching kids like that in a few years.

It’s April. It’s snowing —again.
Snow is a cruel joke.

We can only sing our way forward.
Editor’s Note: Anyone who lives in the USA (particularly in the east) will understand that this poem is a vivid and immediate response to this year’s exceedingly frustrating and late spring season.
The cuffs tighten if you struggle.
Editor’s Note: The dread in this poem heightens with each line, until the last, where all hope is lost.
an abstraction, nothing but what?
Signs and symbols. A scribble.
perfect, every stanza exact. Poor man.
with his fist. Every time. Every damn time.
Editor’s Note: The title is the most important word in this entire poem.
it were the only stable thing to hold, when a woman decides enough.
Editor’s Note: The meticulous descriptions of a long dead aunt fool the reader into thinking the point of this poem is mere memory, but the closing lines show that there is much more going on here beneath the surface.

Independence Xtreme does what it says on the tube. A must for consumers looking for something completely different!
Really excellent smoke, wasn’t expecting much but wow really came out of nowhere, good burn with nice draw and very pleasant vanilla undertone with a creamy finish. Would def buy again.
Lovely flavour and great price for what you get. Good.draw and a nice gauge. Worth a try for beginners or people who like vanilla.
I will start by saying I totally love these cigars. The flavour is brilliant. As I like a strong sweet cigar, these do just that. The construction is very good, a nice even burn, good smoke burn. Definitely another purchase for me.
i tried one of these years ago in prague. it was like smoking cornish ice cream huge vanilla flavour. very nice. with regards to the other review here they must have no taste buds. no offence.
The cigar itself smells very strong of vanilla, unfortunately that's where it ends. There was no enjoinment from the cigar and I was glad when it finished.Nothing special.

This Spring White Pines Productions embarked on an amazing 7 week residency in partnership with HIAS.
HIAS is a Philadelphia based organization which works to "protect the most vulnerable refugees, helping them build new lives and reuniting them with their families in safety and freedom."
HIAS "brings the lessons of HIAS’ history and Jewish ethics and experience" to their "commitment to serve refugees and other displaced persons of concern around the world through the following values: Welcoming, Dignity and Respect, Empowerment, Excellence and Innovation, Collaboration and Teamwork, and Accountability."
Val Harteg of HIAS explains that "The HIAS PA after-school program at the Gilbert Spruance School aims to support refugee youth who have been in the United States or three years or less. The three main goals of the program are to provide academic support through homework help, support English language development through interactive language activities, and encourage social development through peer socialization and community building activities."
We were lucky enough to be connected to HIAS's After School Program via Klementina Budnik of KXB Studio.
Klementina is a long time WPP teaching artist and has taught animation class at White Pines for several years.
KXB Studio offers "group & individual classes to people of all ages and abilities" Klementina's "curriculum is designed to provide a complete understanding of how to manipulate creative materials to tell animated stories."
Klementina and myself set off to create a fun and engaging after school residency which would honor the goals and outcomes of the after school program. Over the course of our residency we led students through storytelling activities (both written and theatrical) which helped create a narrative that we turned into super hero puppet making project. After the students made their unique puppet, each with it's own personality and characteristics, we walked them through the mechanics of animation and voice over recordings.
This final product "combines animation and literacy in order to author a short story as a class. As you'll hear in the video, several different students wrote and narrated sections of the story, and all 18 students contributed to the sound effects and designed a superhero and/or super villain paper puppet."
Val Harteg articulates the value of our programming as "arts enrichment activities support personal identity exploration and social development. Additionally art-based activities provide a platform for supporting language development. Students learn new vocabulary based on the content of the art projects and discover how to explain their artistic products to others. Linguistically, students are better able to express themselves through the practice of creating and talking about their art. Furthermore, art-based activities importantly encourage critical thinking, a learning goal that spans across school day and after school curricula. Because art projects are unique to the individual and what the individual wants to express, art-based workshops provide a space for even beginner level learners to completely be themselves and to have a voice that is distinctly their own. The hope is that this will develop a level of confidence that will transfer to the classroom and other activities in which the students participate."
We had a wonderful experience working with HIAS and the students and volunteers at Spruance and we look forward to next year!

Ahh, our Moon is in Cancer and Venus moves into Scorpio until October 18th, and like with relationships Venus might say it’s complicated. If you are into doing shadow work, this is your time. This energy also bring passion not only to relationships but to the things you love. People can be digging for information and you may not want your some of your private life on the cosmic airwaves. So inquiring minds need to go elsewhere. A good time to stay out of drama, jealous feelings and keep yourself busy and maybe doing some research on some of your own projects.
For the end of the week, Card 7, the Chariot represented by Archangel Metatron. (Angel Tarot Cards by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine, Artwork by Steve A. Roberts published by Hay House Publishing) His message on the card is “An important achievement. Self-discipline and willpower. Public recognition”. It takes us back to the beginning of the week where an adventure was started. Breaking free. We have progressed and now we feel more confidence, knowing we have the self discipline and willpower to succeed. Now we may have a few things to master at once! This is a card of focusing on our desires. I feel also that it’s showing us that we have what it takes to follow our own life’s purpose, our own truth. Archangel Metatron can help us move out of our own wilderness, own our own power and step into the land of our dreams. He has a special affinity to children as he is called the Patron Angel of small children which also includes our own inner child and he is also known as the Celestial Scribe. The number Seven on the card is a number of spirituality and mystery. And like the symbol of sacred geometry, the Merkabah, on the Archangel Metatron’s chariot, often referred to as Metatron’s Cube, it has been said in many mystery teachings, if you focus on it you can manifest your dreams and what you want to create in your life. Google the Merkabah and print it out to have as one of your manifestation visualizations during meditation.

‘Postapocalyptic’ deserves retirement. It’s had a long, hard-working life, and yet still doesn’t complain when it’s called up to pull the deadweight of descriptive laziness and capitulations to cliché. Take your pick of the ruined, the abandoned, the murdered land, but apocalypse will never make a genuine appearance on earth. As a concept, it’s total. Whereas our human imaginations are merely regional: we kill ourselves by the square foot, never all at once. Which is why nothing comes after the end.
Diana Thater’s Chernobyl (2010), installed in David Zwirner’s easternmost gallery space on one of the many Sandy-ravaged strips of West Chelsea, reminds us just how limited our imaginations are. Filmed in the ‘exclusion zone’, a 30-kilometre no-man’s-land that rings the 1986 meltdown site, Thater’s video reveals a remarkably vibrant sanctuary, filled with plants and animals, all undoubtedly irradiated, yet all very much alive after a generation or two or three. Centred on the wreckage of an old theatre in Pripyat, the company town whose onetime residents managed and cared for the reactor, Thater’s installation recreates the geometries of the theatre’s walls and gives us a panoramic loop that changes like Chernobyl’s diminished seasons.
The point of Thater’s piece is not to draw us once again into the depths of self-hatred whenever the subject of nuclear power and its ecological disasters are broached (though it does that too). Instead, its designs are on time itself, and the fact that it doesn’t ‘pass’ (another cliché) but is ‘lived’ and lived in. The zone around Chernobyl is occupied by much wildlife, including, amazingly, horses, specifically Przewalski’s horses, the last surviving subspecies of wild horses, which were introduced to the area because only there could they exist relatively undisturbed by humans. There are people too. Mortuary workers who care for the remains of the dead – actually, only half-dead – nuclear hulk and its burial ground.
‘Half-dead’ may not be right either. Plutonium-239 decays at a rate of 50 percent every 24,000 years. That’s a stability no human civilisation can hope to achieve (the Holocene itself only dates to about a 21 percent drawdown of the isotope). The cesium in the ground, which was meant to disappear after only 60 years, looks to be taking five times longer. These are historical scales and geological scales, both human and inhuman, and Thater’s video implicates them in their invisibility, just as a shot of the moon rising over a statue of Lenin in the video’s opening sequence implicates the ideology – equally invisible – that has irradiated us all.

An Open Letter to his friends on the reasons for his decision to leave for Israel. G. Svirsky is a writer who in 1965 spoke at a writers’ Party meeting against anti-Semitism. Since then, for seven years, his name has been on the prohibited list: nothing written by him has been printed.
The main reason for his determination to emigrate, Svirsky writes, is the anti-Semitism which exists in the USSR. The expression “entry no. five” [“nationality” in Soviet passport], which has now become part of the language, is clear proof of this. In addition Svirsky cites incidents from literary life: the publication of Ivan Shevtsov’s pogrom-minded novels and of V. Mishin’s book Social Progress (Gorky, 1970), which welcomed the numerus clausus [see Svirsky’s letter about this book, CCE 21.11, item 6]; lines from the collection of poems Fate by Ivan Lystsov (Moscow Worker newspaper, 1969, p. 93); //admissions by two Central Committee secretaries, Pelshe and Demichev, and so on.
“If my very name is banned, then that is the same as killing me or hounding me out of the country! I choose a different road … I have not changed my beliefs: I have not ceased to love the land for which I shed my blood, nor my friends, nor the Russian language as a medium in which to work … I am a former soldier of Russia, who spent four uninterrupted years in battle,… I am a Russian born and bred, my great-grandfather fought for the salvation of Russia during the first defence of Sevastopol . . .
On the book What I. Dzyuba stands for and how he does it  by B. Stenchuk (the pseudonym of a group of employees of the Kiev Institute of Marxism-Leninism), published [in English] by the Society for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad, Kiev, 1969.
The story of a Czech journalist who later became a television commentator. In 1961 Skutina was summoned by the state security organisation and accused of calling President Antonin Novotny “a tyrant, a scoundrel and an idiot” in 1958. At his trial, which took place in January 1962, the prosecution was unable to substantiate this change for lack of witnesses, and V. Skutina was given a suspended sentence of six months’ imprisonment.
Since no-one can be tried twice for the same offence, V. Skutina shortly afterwards announced that he had never called the President an idiot, but since he had been convicted of doing so then it was clearly God’s will that he should. In May 1962 he was arrested and sentenced to sixteen months’ imprisonment for undermining the authority of the President. The greater part of the article deals with the period spent by the author in various Czech prisons.
Skutina was later freed under an amnesty, and was legally exculpated even before 1968. On 18 February 1971 he was again convicted, this time of activity hostile to Czechoslovakia and her allies, and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. On 30 June 1971 he was sentenced to another four years’ imprisonment. In September he became seriously ill in prison.
devoted to social issues, No. 13  (September-October 1971), Moscow.
This issue includes the following UN documents: a draft Declaration on the Rights of the Mentally Backward; a resolution on the acceptability of reports by a sub-commission on the prevention of discrimination and the protection of minorities; and a draft of the principles of Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Detention.
The section “Documents of the Committee for Human Rights” includes a note on the term “political prisoner”, which was submitted to the Committee by the compiler of this collection. In an addendum to the note, which was written after it had been discussed by the Committee, the author particularly emphasises that of the two possible approaches to a definition of the term “political offence” – an action carried out with political aims or an action prosecuted by the State with political aims – he has chosen the latter, though he makes it clear that this is not the only possible approach; one of the consequences of this is that the author is not inclined to regard any political motives for a crime either as aggravating or extenuating circumstances. In this he differs from widespread opinions to the contrary.
a report on activities in Kiev on 29 September 1971 marking the day of remembrance for those who lost their lives at Baby Yar [see NBSJ, No. 203].
The section “Facts and Documents” includes a statement by L.M. Lyubarsky, a resident of Rostov [-on-Don], against whom criminal proceedings were instituted in September 1970 under Article 190-1 of the Russian Criminal Code (see CCE 19).  In August 1971, however, proceedings were terminated under Article 6 of the Criminal Procedural Code (Termination of Proceedings owing to a Change of Circumstances).
L.M. Lyubarsky is demanding that V. A. Smirnov, Procurator of Rostov’s Zheleznodorozhny district, issue a statement that proceedings were terminated on the grounds that there was no evidence that a crime had been committed; he is also demanding the return of items confiscated during a search of his home, viz. notebooks containing verses in Ivrit [Modem Hebrew], and recordings of Jewish folk and classical music and of voice of his eight-year-old daughter.
The “News in brief” section contains reports on extra-judicial persecution and on the plight of Jewish political prisoners.
A type-written journal consisting of six sections….
In the USSR a report about Khrushchev’s death only appeared two days after the event (with no obituary). In Warsaw, for example, normal radio broadcasting was interrupted for an announcement of the death of the former First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party. The statement spoke of the services of the deceased to the cause of de-Stalinisation in the USSR, which was a direct stimulus to the de-Stalinisation of Poland.
Richard Nixon, Pietro Nenni, Anwar Sadat, Janos Kadar and many others commented on the event, as did the majority of newspapers, including the Communist press (Borba, Politika). Not only Khrushchev’s merits were recalled, but also his crimes: repression against those who took part in the Hungarian Revolution , the construction of the Berlin Wall .
The Chinese press, like its Soviet counterpart, gave a brief report of Khrushchev’s death, while the Albanian press, on the other hand, called him “the leader of a revisionist group which attempted to restore capitalism in the USSR”.
Speeches were made at the grave by Sergei Khrushchev, Vadim Vasilyev// (whose father had been posthumously rehabilitated) and Nadezhda Simanshevich, an old Party-member from the Donbass.
A wreath was sent by the Central Committee and the Council of Ministers. A wreath from Mikoyan’s family was also laid.
Fabrications to the effect that “fraternal aid” was given to Czechoslovakia at the request of many thousands of Czechoslovak Communists are described by Smrkovsky as “a stupid and abortive fiction which no schoolboy of the meanest intellect would ever believe” … The people of Czechoslovakia will never become reconciled to the occupation, and so it is necessary to find a solution acceptable to them. It would have been feasible to continue with the reform programme, though at a reduced pace, even after the occupation, if there had been unity in the Party leadership.
After the interview J. Smrkovsky was subjected to interrogation by the state security agency and warned that if any such action were to take place again, criminal proceedings would be instituted against him.
A brief biography of Bukovsky and the protests at his latest arrest.
The early post-war years saw the appearance of underground anti-Stalinist organisations (“Leninist opposition”, “Leninist group”, “Workers’ opposition”), which circulated leaflets and proclamations among the population.
Samizdat activity has been increasing in intensity since 1965.
At some time after 1954, in connection with the Beria affair, S. M. Shtemenko was removed from the post of Chief of the General Staff and demoted to the post of chief of a divisional HQ (with a corresponding reduction in rank from General of the army to Major-General). He re-appeared on the scene in the second half of 1965.
In August 1971 the writers Yury Belostotsky [a member the Writers’ Union], Leonid Topchy and Avan Taktash were questioned in Kazan by officials of the KGB about circulation in Kazan literary circles of the Chronicle of Current Events and other samizdat material.
Yury [M.] Aranovich, the conductor of the All-Union Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra [since 1964], has been removed from his job for submitting documents to emigrate to Israel [see Reuter dispatch, 21 November 1971].

The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq brought many senior-level resignations in protest of Washington’s pre-emptive attack. U.N. officials quit in frustration. Members of the U.S. diplomatic corps walked out. And in May 2003 Britain’s Secretary of State for International Development Clare Short resigned her position. In her resignation letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair, Short wrote, "The Security Council resolution that you and Jack [Straw, the foreign secretary] have so secretly negotiated contradicts the assurance I have given in the House of Commons and elsewhere about the legal authority of the occupying powers, and the need for a U.N.-led process to establish a legitimate Iraqi government. This makes my position impossible." She concluded, "I am sad and sorry that it has ended like this."
Clare Short has served as a member of the British Parliament since 1983. In 1997, she was named Secretary of State for International Development, where she was known for her passionate, outspoken commitment to the poor and vulnerable. "Not since Judith Hart more than 30 years ago have we had a minister from either side of the political divide who has so passionately advocated for the issues of Third World development in British politics," said Christian Aid international director Roger Riddell. Short was interviewed in October by Sojourners editor-in-chief Jim Wallis in Washington, D.C.

Aqua-4D is delighted to have been welcomed as a member of the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions at the end of 2018, with a view to becoming one of the 1000 Solutions it champions.
The World Alliance brings together the main actors in the field of clean technologies to speed up the implementation of clean and profitable solutions which have the potential to address the environmental challenges of today. This means not only solar energy but any products or companies which are economically successful while optimizing the use of natural resources.
With environmentally-friendly manufacturing and a technology which enables significant water savings on a device which can be powered by solar panels, Aqua-4D fits neatly into becoming a member of this alliance. Its game-changing technology not only enables up to 30% water savings but also increase of yield and quality – all on an innovative proprietary system requiring less energy than a standard 10W bulb.
What is the World Alliance for Efficient Solutions?
It’s the brainchild of Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss visionary who made global headlines in 2016 when he became the first person to take a successful round-the-world solar powered flight. Rather than focussing on environmental problems, this new initiative aims to support enterprises which provide real workable solutions going forward. Together, “1000 solutions to change the world” will be selected, including everything from CO2 capture to deep sea wind farms to electric cars. According to Piccard, such enterprises create jobs, profits and boost clean economic growth while alleviating the issues facing our planet. Moreover, they’re inherently innovative: they’re not just ecological but logical, and would succeed even without climate change. Aqua-4D is delighted to have been considered as such an enterprise; watch this space for further news of developments as part of this initiative.

Zen at War offers a penetrating look at the close relationship that existed between Zen Buddhism and Japanese militarism prior to World War II. Using the actual words of leading Japanese Zen masters and scholars, the author shows that Zen served as a powerful spiritual and ideological foundation for the fanatic and suicidal spirit displayed by the imperial Japanese military. At the same time, the author tells the dramatic and tragic stories of the handful of Buddhist organizations and individuals that dared to oppose Japan’s march to war. He follows this history up to the recent apologies of several Zen sects for their support of the war, and the reemergence of what he calls corporate Zen in postwar Japan.
Zen at War is a stunning contribution to our understanding of Japanese militarism and the broader issue of war responsibility as it continues to be addressed (and ignored) in contemporary Japan. Brian Victoria’s great sensitivity to the perversion and betrayal of Buddhism’s teachings about compassion and non-violence makes his indictment of the role played by Imperial Way Buddhists in promoting ultranationalism and aggression all the more striking and all the more saddening.

This last situation is often the one leading to the most unfair results. Recently, in North Pittsburgh Drywall Co., Inc. v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Owen), the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania reversed the decision of a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ), which had been affirmed by the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (WCAB), and ruled that benefits should be suspended (or at least modified, depending on the earnings), when the injured worker had no transportation to get to a modified job.
The injured worker in this case hurt his right wrist while doing his job in 2001. About a week after the work injury, his car was repossessed (there was no credited allegation that the repossession had anything to do with the injury or the delayed receipt of workers’ compensation benefits). The injury was accepted as work-related by the workers’ comp insurance carrier, who issued a Notice of Compensation Payable (NCP). In 2003, the employer offered the injured worker a modified duty job, the duties of which were approved by his treating physician. The job was located about 90 minutes from the injured worker’s home, about the same as the pre-injury position. Unfortunately, at that point, the injured worker still had no car.
Borrowing his father’s car, the injured worker went back to work at this modified job for two or three days, and had no difficulty performing the job. When his father needed his car back, however, the injured worker could no longer get to the job and therefore stopped working. The injured worker was never paid for the two or three days he worked, and the workers’ compensation insurance carrier stopped paying benefits.
A long and tortured litigation ensued, which involved multiple appeals. Ultimately, the WCJ had both a Suspension/Modification Petition (filed by the workers’ compensation insurance carrier to stop, or reduce, benefits) and a Petition for Penalties (filed by the injured worker since the workers’ compensation insurance carrier simply stopped paying workers’ comp benefits). The WCJ denied the Suspension/Modification Petition, finding that the injured worker lost the job through no fault of his own, and that, since he was never paid by the employer, there were no wages to support a suspension or modification. The Petition for Penalties was granted, since the benefits were stopped without a sufficient legal basis. This was affirmed by the WCAB upon appeal.
The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania approached this case somewhat differently. While the Court agreed that perhaps the injured worker lost the job “through no fault of his own,” typically the burden in a Petition for Reinstatement, the Court then added that, in a Petition for Suspension, the inquiry is whether the “disability, ie: loss of earnings, was related to non-work injury factors.” Because the injured worker lost the job here for reasons not related to the claimant’s work injuries, the Court reversed the decision of the WCJ and WCAB, which denied the Petition for Suspension. The matter was, yet again, sent back (“remanded”) to the WCJ to determine the wages of the job at issue (to decide whether the benefits should be reduced or stopped entirely). The Petition for Penalties was affirmed, as the fact the employer was ultimately successful did not justify the insurer unilaterally stopping the benefits.

I’m the kind of person who most of the times doesn’t like to do things from scratch. The same goes with design projects. And even if I start from the empty workspace, most of the times, I usually start from creating guidelines and setting up a structure for the project. So, that’s why a premade template is a handy tool to start every design project with. In this example of creating a custom-made template, I’m using a vector illustration software named Inkscape.
I like to hide everything that stays behind the borders. Just because if there is no visual information behind the borderline then the image is just like it’s going to be when it’s exported. If the only thing separating my canvas and all that is left out is a thin line then, in my opinion, the view is a bit distorted. That’s why I like to create a separate layer to crop everything out. I can always switch the layer on and off if needed and no information is clipped or deleted. So, what's on that layer then? Just a simple rectangle with a hole in it. And the hole represents the visible area of the project.
The next thing what I want to see in my template file is some basic guides. But not your usual guides in form of a two-point line. I’m using plain objects as guides. For example, I have an object that is 3rd of a length of the canvas that I’m calling simple 3rd. The same with the half of the canvas and 5ths etc etc. Ar first it doesn’t make sense just to stuff your file with all those objects but there a times when you need to experiment with the blocks of a 3rd or 4th of the canvas and then it’s handy when you have those blocks just waiting for you to drag into a place, change the fill and do what’s needed.
There are no limitations to what can or can’t be added to the template file. I just thought that throwing in a guide for the golden ratio can be useful sometimes. You can add your own ratios or guides or measurements to follow.
I’m leaving the layer of brand colors empty. But it’s there just to remind me to import the brand colors or brand guidelines into.
It’s always handy to have a place for notes. For that purpose, I’m just creating another layer where I write down the notes about the file or project. Notes are useful in cases when you have ideas about the project but not enough time to complete them during the working session. You can write down all the ideas on the notes layer and next time you open the document you know exactly where to pick up and what you wanted to do next.
It's a place where I share my notes about life, creativity, business, design, music, gaming, hobbies, free time and some random stuff.

6,64 hectares of red grapes (80% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Francs). The vines are 30 to 70 years old. Another 0,20 hectares is rooted with very old vines that survived to Phyolloxéra. In December 2009, we made a DNA analysis of these very old vines and discovered that some were a rare variety called "Bouchalès".
InJune 2015 we have rooted 1,5 hectares of Cabernet Francs.
0,48 hectare of white grapes, 100% Semillon. The vines are 40 years old.
Between 0 and 1,2 meters : sand-silt dark clay with an excellent structure in aggregates belonging to the Dordogne river alluvial deposits.
An excellent structure : lumpy and well balanced in wich the presence of organic substance is a major agronomic advantage.
The growing environment, rich with active wildlife, is doted with important macro porosity.
The microclimate due to the river seems to generate a slighter pluviometry than the higher lands nearby. We obtain rich, naturally concentrated and healthy grape juices.
A windy environment allows - even on rainy days- quick drying of both leaves and grapes. This helps to reduce treatments due to highly ventilated vines.
THe high level of sediment in the Dordogne enable this river to capture heat and protect the vines during high period of freezing.
Due to the proximity of the Dordogne river, soils are rich with organic elements, given fullbodied and structured wines.
The river and its protected environment helps to a very active biodiversity and lifes : Essential to our Organic vines and wines.
Last, twice a day, the powerfull tides (we are 90 kms from the seashore, but still there is 7 to 8 meters difference between low and high tides) may bring like breathing movement to the soil and terroir.
In 2008 we decided to stop "chemical herbicides". Then in 2009 we stopped the chemical pesticides. 2010 vintage was our first year of conversion to Organic agriculture (certification by Ecocert).
2013 is our first vintage with official Organic Certification (AB). Our next target is to work the vineyard with Bio-Dynamie principles.
VInes weed one row out of two.
Reduction of treatments and adaptation of each plot of land to their own needs. The specificity of the environment (read above) allows us to be audacious regarding the reduction of these treatments.
A systematic recording of all works in the vines in order to follow our schedule of conditions and trace-ability.

Ahron Friedman civilly divorced his wife in April. Friedman, an orthodox Jew, refuses to give his wife, Tamar Epstein, a Jewish decree of divorce. According to Jewish law, a get is something only a husband can give. Unless a get is given, the couple is still considered married according to Jewish law. In addition, without a get, neither he nor his wife can remarry within the faith. A chain woman or an agunah is the way Tamar Epstein lives within her faith, until she receives a get from her husband.
Most of us may not understand religious martial laws, as we are free to marry and legally divorce anyone as we see fit. It is estimated there are several hundred agunot in the United States today, due to get disputes.
Freidman’s refusal to unchain or release his wife from their Jewish marriage resulted in a secular protest outside of his apartment and his place of employment. YouTube videos showed protestors including religious women with their heads covered, men in traditional skullcaps and rabbis. Important rabbis who are also pressuring him to do what they see as the right thing condemn Freidman.
Ahron and Tamar married on April 23, 2006. A year later, they had a daughter. Ms. Epstein expressed her desired to divorce in 2008, while her husband hoped for reconciliation. Epstein moved out with the couple’s daughter and went from Maryland to her parent’s home in Philadelphia. The couple wanted their divorce resolved by a beit din, a Jewish court. They also had to follow the law and file in a civil court.
Freidman’s refusal to offer a get stems from the couple’s bitter custody dispute. Epstein received primary custody while Freidman has custody three weekends a month. As a religious Jew, Mr. Friedman does not drive from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. He believes the civil court ignored his religious beliefs and disrespected the Sabbath. As it stands, he is only able to pick his daughter up on Sundays and feels he does not spend enough time with her.
The couple has not exhausted all rabbinical courts, which is yet to rule on their divorce and custody dispute. However, rabbis participating in pressuring Freidman through protests state it is Jewish custom to give a get once divorce terms are settled and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

Exploring the history of Pargana Chail , Kara Manikpur and the Doaba region in Allahabad, UP , India ----------------------Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
It is amongst the eight villages of the clan of Siddiqi Shaikhs ( Ath-gawan) descended from Hadhrat Shaikh Abu Bakr As Siddeeq Radi Allahu Anhu. It seems that the present occupants / zamindars took this village two or three hundred years ago at a time when Mughals were at the fall in India. Their complete geneaological tree is preserved here and is update from time to time. It shows one Qazi Khateeb-ud-deen as the progenitor of all the siddiqis of the eight villages as mentioned below.
It is an old village indeed. The remains found here alongwith the vessels and other ornaments suggest that it is a very old inhabitation , perhaps from the time of Old Vatsa region when it formed a part of the grand old Buddha regime. Large mounds with height so remarkable seem to be a part of an rampart of old mud fort . Few elderly people suggest that there passed the main route of Kosam Rajya that went to Prayag Teerth.
The advent of Siddiqi Shaikhs in this village is a recent one. It is certain that after the fall of Mughal control, about the installation of Awadh throne or a bit earlier. One Qazi Khateeb ud Deen came here from Kara( Kara Manikpur ) and settled here. Since the Qazi was a Siddiqi .The entire zamindar clan of Audhan are descended form Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq Radi Allahu Anhu through his son Abdul Rahman Bin Abi Bakr. A complete geneaological chart is available in Audhan wherein we could see very easily the names and their succesive generations.
Audhan - The prinicpal village.
Akbarpur - A Village close to Kasenda , was an important village earlier. No family now.
Beur - The Shaikhs of Beur , the Chaudharis of Beur are from this family.
Barethi - The Shaikhs of Barethi are also an offshoot of this family.
Makhaupur- The Zamindars of Makhaupur are also siddiqi from the same root.
Kath Gaon - The Chaudharis /shaikhs of Kath Gaon are also from the same stem.
In the following I have produced a brief chart oulining the main four brothers of Audhan who are in turn the main ancestors of the entire Shaikh clan in Audhan.
Now I would write down the names of the descendents of the above mentioned gentlemen so that the readers could connect to their correct line of ascendant.
From Bakhshish Ahmad s/o Paira Miyan came Mohd Idris,Hafeez Alam,Lateef Ahmad,Mohammad Muslim , Akhtar Husain , Noor Zadah etc in Pakistan.
From Basharat Miyan are - Chhiddan Miyan,Salamuddin then Husamuddin,Rafiuddin and Sadruddin. line extinct.
Nusrat Ali migrated to barethi and the famour Ghulam family is descended from him, Ghulam Rabbani , Ghulam Yazdani and the entire Ghulam family is from Nusrat Ali of Audhan.
From Fateh Ali are Kifayat Ali, Inayat Ali,Arshad Ali , Shaikh Muhammad , Raziuddin, Wakeeluddin, Mohd Fayyaz,Ashfaq Ahmad , Iftikhar Ahmad , Jan bakhsh, Abdul Samad, Abdul Ahad,Abdul Wahhab , Abdul Rauf,Tajammul Husain. Ali Ahmad , Kabeer Ahmad, Nabi Ahmad, Ausaf Ahmad, Ghufran Ahmad, Abdul Salam, Jameel Ahmad, etc.
The list of names are indicative and not complete. This is to connect you to your forefathers and relatives , if you wish to know more , do write to me or consult the original Shajra at Audhan.
The fourth Ancestor - Fareed Ali or Fareed Ahmad Shaheed had no issue and he died young as a martyr.
Audhan had been a fairly large village with considerable population since its inception. A number of families migrated into Audhan to take care oftheir maternal properties. Some of the prominent ones are listed here.
1. Shamshad Ali of Audhan had no male heir. Thus his son-in-law Saiyid Abdullah of Kashia migrated to Audhan and settled here. His son was Saiyid Ahmad’ullah and their sons Ishrat Ullah, Sibghat’Ullah and ObaidUllah are still connected with the village.
2. Hasan Raza of Audhan had no male child with three daughters. His daughter’s sons came and settled in Audhan. Firstly Jb. Habeebuddin of Saiyid Sarawan came here , his grand sons were Mahboob Ahmad Subban and Zain ul Abidin. This family still owns land in Audhan.Hasan Raza's other daughter was married to Nazeeruddin Saiyid Sarawan and his and then Hakeemuddin and his son is Zameeruddin Malik at London.
3. Another daughter of Hasan Raza was married to Siraj ul Haq of Ratgaha.His sons were Nawab Husain and Imam Husain. Nawab Husains descendents are in Pakistan ,Zubair Ahmad and Zuhair Ahmad etc.
5. Again the daughter of Imam Miyan namely Safia Bibi was adopted by Rafiuddin and Khalli Bua of Audhan and thus she settled here with her husband Ishtiyaq Ahmad of Asrawe Khurd. Hence a family of Asrawe is residing and have properties in Audhan as on date.
The principal family /landowners of Audhan were the Siddiqi Shaikhs wo held in Zamindari almost sixteen Annas of share in Audhan proper and several villages (Mazra) around Audhan between 1700-1857. As per the local standing, the Shaikhs of Audhan were held high and known to be mild tempered and gentle-natured guys.
Audhan was known to be a village of Hukama ( Hakeems ) Ulama ( Aalim ) and educated young brats in the beginning of twentieth century. The youth of Audhan was far more progressive and vibrant than their other brethren in the Pargana. There used to be a Literary Club, Footbal Club, Friends society in Audhan way back in 1920s and 30s.Mushairas were held and social life was quite vivacious.
There is another illustrious family in audhan who suffix their names with Faridi. They are certainly not from the stock of the Siddiqi Shaikhs of Audhan but they have been here for at least 200 years from now and did well in their respective careers.
Upon enquiry , it transpires that Shaikh Laal Muhammmad from Nindaura (a place near Lalganj in Partabgarh) had come and settled here. He had eight sons and thus called Ath Bhayyan namely 1.Safdar Ali 2.Qadir Bakhsh 3.Nadir Ali 4.Afzal Ali 5.Sabit Ali 6.Abdul Wahid 7.Maulvi Deputy Abdul Ghafoor 8. Abdul Lateef.
The descendents of these 8 gentleman are those who use Faridi with their name. Their origin and reason of migration is obscure.However this family is a talented one and produced a good number of Ulama and Hukama (Hakeem hazrat) in the past century. Uncha , Kothi and Bangla the three landmarks in Audhan are built and owned the Faridis.
Deputy Abdul Ghafoor was a Khan Bahaur and a major land holder of his time. Sabit Ali was a Numberdar, Afzal Ali was a Jema'daar in Agra, Nadir Ali was a Naib Nazir in Agra Cant, Qadir Bakhsh was a Tahsildar in Bharatpur and Abdul wahid was a Mukhtar (pleader).
As per the gazetteer of Allahabad (1911), during the last century the biggest zamindar from Audhan was Khan Bahadur Maulvi Abdul Ghafoor, Deputy Collector who was employed in Riyasat Reewa and earned his fortune through hard work and honesty. His constructed a Bangla (Bungalow) in 1889 and a Rauza (Rectangular grave yard compound) in honor of Shaikh Fareed ,a Scion of Shaikhs of Audhan.
Shaikh Fareed, a resident of Audhan and a officer in the Mughal Government, was known to be a highly principled and a pious person; he was attacked with dagger while offering Salat by some jealous and green-eyed person. After being injured, Shaikh Fareed retreated to his native Audhan and told his family members that someone has tried to kill him with dagger and while he would not survive, the killer would also come in self-reproach and would die in few days please do not try to retaliate and instead bury him beside my grave. The events followed were exactly true as Shaikh Fareed had foretold. Today we see that the graves of Shaikh Fareed and his killer both are at a same place, now known as Rauza.
Amongst the divines and godly people of Audhan was one Shah Maseeh'ullah Alias Chhanga Shah ,who was a Majzoob Buzurg and lived some sixty years ago, He was very famous and migrated to Gwalior in 1930s and his tomb is highly revered in Gwalior atop a rock cliff. It is reported that the last Maharaja of Gwalior was born after his prayers. The royal family takes care of his tomb.
The earliest tomb of a shaheed in Audhan is of Baba Kamaluddin who seems to be a part of Salar Masud’s army and whose body is buried here while his head is told be fallen off during a fight in Ujhini (A village on the banks of Ganges (Ganga). He is highly venerated for the past so many centuries !
In the later period Ishtiyaq Baba of Audhan was a famous mystic who was known as a wandering mystic and would land in anyone's place without any prior intimation. He was associated with the Ganj Muraabad silsila .He died in Bombay and is buried there.
When I visited Audhan last I met a few young guys who were very interested in exploring the their roots and wanted to dig out history of their village. When I went to the mosque to offer Zuhr salat , I was shown a beautifully hand written copy of Qur’an which had been preserved in the mosque for the last three or four hundred years , I am attaching the photograph of the first few pages of that Quran for your view. Masha Allah.
Since Audhan is located at an high altitude, it has a panoramic view of the river Yamuna and across. Legend has it that Audhan is the last one to be inundated in a flood and if Audhan submerges then Allahabad cannot survive the wrath of the flood.
Audhan has a special connection with me as my maternal grandfather Late Safat Alam Sahab belonged to this village. While I write these lines I miss him a lot as he would have been so happy to know about my effort. He used to tell me a lot of things and would recite a verse as follows…………..
Yaadgar-i-Zamana hain hum log ! ! !
Sun Rakho tum, Fasana hain hum log !
How true it is that he virtually became a afsana (legend) now,I don’t find people like him now and even in older generation there is not even a glimpse of him. Those were the different lot and entirely different stock which they don’t make now. Allah Bas Baqi Hawas.
Safar hai shart Musafir Nawaz Bahuterey !
Hazarha Shajar -i-Saya-dar Raah mein hain !!
By the way which place do you belong to and where are you based out of right now .
Let me know if I can be of any help to you.I shall send you some details of my family who left Saiyad sarawan some 80 years ago and now we are in Toronto.
I wait for your next postings.
I am extremely fascinated and envious of your dedication to go through such a tedious yet exciting journey. Many of us have thought to try something similar but alas, thought only.
My primary interest is in the intertwined family trees of this region. All four of my grandparents were from this area and luckily I have information about 3 of them. However,I could not gain access to the most important family's history i.e. my paternal grandfather's side. This is chiefly because of a lack of extensive family network and dwindling communication over the past decades.
I would like to suggest that if your journey allows, I would be extremely grateful if you could research a bit on Rasoolpur Beur which is close to Audhan. This village was my Dada's village and we have lost all contact with our remaining relatives there. We also do not have access to our family tree which is rumoured to still be in the hands of Indian relatives.
I am also from audhan.I am very thankful for doing a good job but the details are not upto date.Kindly search and update.You can get information from my grandfather Mazaharul Islam Faridi and Kamrul Islam Faridi.
I don't know who are you but you have done a great job for this global village where a eager/thirsty chaily are very much cheerish at the moment. I belong to audhan but I am not very much aware of this eye opening history it has. Really you are very great in your own. I salute you.
God Bless you all the time.
It is really heartening and very mesmerizing to come to know about Audhan in such detail. Kudos to you. I knew Mr. Safat Alam as we also migrated to Kanpur as he. We all were staying in Chamangunj. Its long time, I have forgotten some names but his one daughter's name was Parveen. One more elder daughter whose name I dont remember. Two sons, probably Shahid and Rashid. Forgive me if I am giving wrong names. Most amazing news is of 300 yrs old Quran in masjid. Which we never cared for. Anyway thanx for taking us on nostalgia trip.
WOW! What a great job u have done. I am really very excited to visit this blog. I am from Karachi and my parents belong to Audhan and we are Chailis (Fareedi). I have heard lot about the Audhan from my father (Late) Syed Mohammad Musheer-uz-Zaman but never visited there. A journey of Audhan through your blog made me enthusiastic to visit personally. Once again thanks for such an astounding effort.
Thank you for this nice piece of writing. It's very informative and your efforts are truly commendable for compiling it up.
I am proud to be from Audhan. My parents are from Audhan and they both know most of the names mentioned here in your writing.
We all used to spend our summer vacations in Audhan during our childhood around 1985-1995. My paternal grand parents have been buried in Audhan only.
But since most of the families have moved to the cities and abroad to earn their livelihood, it's a bit difficult to keep up with the developments.
Keep up the good work and please keep us posted in future also.
Both of my grandparents used to be Police officers.
As of now, we live in Kanpur and I am working in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
S/o Mr Tauhid Ahmad and Mrs Sajda Begum.
& Late Mr Mohammed Farhat Ullah and Late Mrs Ambiya Khatoon.
I am so excited to see that it feels unreal. I have little words to appreciate your precious time, efforts, planning and hard work to create this history available. These use to be my bed time stories about audhan as I have never been there. I have always wanted to visit this place in person but never got a chance.
My forefathers were living in Rasoolpur Biur but my great grandfather Muhammad Rafi Siddiqui wasn't living there permanent because of his posting in Gwalior as a Kotwal (police officer).
My grandfather Abdul Wahab Siddiqui (who I never saw unfortunately) was living and working in Kanpur as munshi before partition, when my dad Muhammad Rasheed Siddiqui was born. I was born in Karachi Pakistan and now living in UK.
We have a massive family settled in Karachi and a decent family tree saved with a lot of our family members.
If you ever think of coming to the UK please include me in your plan. I will email you my contact details.

This post is brought to you in partnership with TalenAlexander.
You’ve definitely heard all about the hashtag by now. You’ve probably even become the type of person who attaches one to the end of a caption every now and again. But the reason why you should use hashtags may still allude you. If you’re trying to grow a social media presence for your business, you need to know how the hashtag may benefit you.
To provide a little history, the first hashtag was used on Twitter in 2007 by Chris Messina, who encouraged his friends to do the same. The trend really picked up steam in 2009, when Twitter began to hyperlink the “#”—turning what was a simple concept into a search tool that leads the reader to relevant topics.
Ten years later, hashtags have taken all social media platforms by storm, including Instagram. Now, more than ever, hashtags have made it easier for us to follow brands, conversations, trending topics, businesses and people just by logging into our favorite social media platforms.
Why should businesses join in? Here are a few reasons you should leverage hashtags in your professional social media accounts.
Many businesses are catching on to the trend of using the hashtag to advertise their brand name. For example, #TalenAlexander is the name of this marketing agency and when attaching the hashtag to our name, our audience is better able to search and find us. Not only is the brand easier to search for, but as customers begin to use the brand name hashtag, it builds mutual recognition within the marketplace.
According to the social media platform, there are different methods for using the hashtag. For example, Instagram allows the post to include up to 30 hashtags, however, do NOT use this many, as it clouds the caption. Consider inserting popular, industry-related hashtags in the comments section to ensure you show up in relevant searches to drive interaction up by 80 percent.
Unlike Instagram, Twitter is a platform where you MUST use hashtags to generate conversation and grow your audience, as posts with hashtags double the rate of engagement. Again, the warning remains the same: If you insert more than three hashtags, engagement begins to decrease.
Nevertheless, a multitude of studies have shown that hashtags are critical in expanding your reach, growing your brand, gaining more followers and getting more potential customers.
An innovative way businesses have used hashtags in the past is to create campaigns around them. Depending on what your marketing goals are, you can create one or two hashtags to promote products or concepts that speak directly to your audience’s interests. This will continue to build your brand recognition and advertise your services at the same time.
Finally, use hashtags that have the ability to help you put your brand in front of the right people or audience. There are hundreds of niche conversations happening across all social media platforms that your business can join in on. Simply use the hashtag specific to your industry to expose your name to an existing conversation. Be sure to join only conversations where you feel confident you’ll contribute useful and relevant content. Also, remember to be respectful as you are new to the circle, and do your best to really show off the depth of your expertise.
# Research to ensure you are using the proper hashtag without referring to another concept that already exists.
# Use the hashtag in congruence with your business’s brand and tone to streamline all content.
# Don’t use too many hashtags or engagement will decrease.
# Use popular hashtags to join the local conversations within your community.
# Explore what hashtags drive the most engagement for your industry, and stay on topic to ensure it’s reaching your target audience.
At TalenAlexander, we build brands and we build businesses. With Charlotte roots and a global reach, we help clients create authentic engagement, reach new audiences and break through the marketing noise.

Is your website designed with a specific audience in mind?
Does your website offer current and accurate information?
Have you incorporated text, video and images into your website?
Are SEO keywords incorporated throughout your website?
Do you refer to social media in your website content?
Does your website include a call to action?
If you answered yes to the questions listed above, CONGRATULATIONS! Your website meets Google’s standards for high-quality content. If your response was no, we need to talk.
Develop content for your website that is meaningful and engaging for your particular customers.
The first step to developing quality website content is understanding your audience. To whom are you writing? What message are you trying to convey? Organizing content is easy when you take time to evaluate your audience. You’ll develop creative writing patterns, identify meaningful images and establish significant links. Your efforts will result in customer engagement and loyalty.
If you are able to follow basic writing skills – organized paragraphs, short sentences, spelling and punctuation – your website content is headed in the right direction. One of the most powerful content tools is an active blog. Tell your story. Blog content is the best way to express your personality, services, products and goals. When you use a conversational tone, your fresh personal story builds intrigue and cannot be mimicked by others.
The true challenge begins after you captivate your audience. How do you keep your customers engaged? While it takes time and money to consistently update your website content, it will be a meaningful investment. Examples of fresh content include creating a new page, writing a fresh blog or adding new links. Refreshed content sends a message that your business is thriving and you care about customer needs. Customer engagement means increased sales, name recognition and long-lasting relationships.
True or false? Quality text is the only form of website content you should develop. False. There are two categories of website content, text and media. We’ve already discussed the importance of telling your story using basic writing skills. Be sure to complement your story with creative headings, subtitles and quotes.
Adding media such as video, images and infographics to your content will entice viewers to take a closer look. Media should support information highlighted in your text. Media should be attractive. And, media should be so effective others will want to share or link to the information. Strive to use custom photography, videos and graphics. Just like an original blog, personalized images clearly demonstrate who you are and what’s unique about your services and products.
According to Google’s Search Engine Optimization (SE0) Starter Guide, designing your site around customer needs and making your website accessible to search engines will generate positive outcomes. Content and SEO form a partnership to promote your website. Your main focus should be telling your story through text and media. After analyzing keywords, phrases, outbound links and images found in your content, SEO directs traffic to your story. One can’t survive without the other!
If you invest quality time and resources in developing meaningful website content, your customers will pass your story forward. Shareable content should be relevant, expressive and creative. Which social platforms work best for you – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest? Social media is the modern “word of mouth” marketing so be sure to include social media share buttons on your website.
Offer a clear call to action to encourage customers to engage with your business.
It is important to respond to website inquiries with a call to action (CTA). Keep it simple. A call to action can be an “order here” button. Or consider asking a customer to sign up for an electronic newsletter, make a comment or share on social media. When you encourage your customers to interact, you’ll be compensated with brand recognition, increased sales and customer satisfaction.

Bury face local rivals Wigan Athletic tomorrow afternoon at Gigg Lane, kick-off 3pm, looking for their seventh consecutive League win.
Bury had a fantastic September with a perfect record of five wins out of five in the League, after another win during their first game of October they look to be on track to do it again this month.
However, they will come up against one of their toughest challenges yet when they take on Wigan Athletic tomorrow in Sky Bet League One, a side who recently had a sustained spell in the Premier League as well as winning the FA Cup in 2013.
Although the Latics have recently fallen down the tiers of English football, they still have Premier League standard facilities throughout the Club which has led to them being tipped as strong favourites to bounce straight back up to the Championship.
They have found life in League One a challenging prospect at times throughout their first season back in the League, however they are currently on a streak of four games unbeaten and are sitting 9th with the chance of leapfrogging their way into the play-off places with a win on Saturday.
After their fantastic run in recent weeks the Shakers are currently sat third in the League, with the potential to move into the top spot if everything goes their way on Saturday.
There could be three players making a return from suspension in the match with Bury’s Leon Clarke and Wigan’s Captain Craig Morgan and Jordan Flores all having served their respective bans. Wigan may also be buoyed by the return of Grant Holt and Don Cowie, although they are expected to be without Chris McCann who took a knock on Tuesday night. Jason Pearce and Kevin McNaughton are the sides long-term injuries. They will also be without Will Grigg who is away on international duty with Northern Ireland.
The Shakers have no fresh injury concerns, with a number of players being refreshed after a rest during Tuesday night’s JPT defeat to Morecambe which will only serve them well for the visit of their Lancashire rivals.
Tickets for the match are Category A.
If you cannot make the game, live commentary of the match is available on Shakers PlayerHD.

PET-CT is a nuclear medicine technique that combines, the functional PET and anatomical CT images to give detailed information about cancer. The CT scan takes a series of x-rays from all around your body and the PET scan uses a mildly radioactive drug to show up areas of your body where cells are more active than normal. A PET/CT scan reveals information about both the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single imaging session.
By combining information about the body’s anatomy and metabolic function, a PET/CT scan provides a more detailed picture of cancerous tissues than either test does alone. The images are captured in a single scan, which provides a high level of accuracy.
PET-CT has revolutionized medical diagnosis in many fields, by adding precision of anatomic localization to functional imaging, which was previously lacking from pure PET imaging. These scanners are available only in the major cancer hospitals.

The North Ladies kicked off the new season by welcoming Pontyclun to Hailey Park For the first game of the season. With a new coaching structure and more than a few new faces this was a great opportunity to put in place the structures for the season.
The sun was out and the conditions were good for some running rugby. Both teams were eager to get the season underway with a win.
North kicked off with the boot of Becky Newton and Pontyclun attacked from the off. The game started with great pace with the forwards running hard & drawing in the defence. A string of penalty’s from the North girls meant that Pontyclun put the first points on the board 3-0 to the visiting side.
Both teams played with great intensity but the attacking momentum was with the visiting team as a well worked set piece released the winger who crossed the white wash 8-0 to the Falcons.
North were not discouraged, and continued to make a nuisance of themselves at the breakdown turning the ball back their way. As the north girls broke into the Pontycluin 22 for the first time some great interplay between the backs saw Becky Newton charge over the line getting the first points on the board for the North Girls. Newton added the extras with a superb Kick from the far touch line making the score 8- 7 to the visitors.
Pontyclun were aggressive from the restart, they looked to move the ball from one side of the pitch to the other and maximising the speed of their wingers capitalising with 2 more tries bringing the half time score to 27-7 to the visitors.
The second half started much the same as the first with both teams looking to hit hard and contest at the breakdowns. Several infringements from the falcons saw back row Cat Grundy see a yellow card and 10 minutes in the bin.
With a player down North capitalised and a superb break from Centre Meg O’Sullivan with great hands and support lines saw her cross the line to add to the north score. This time Newton could not add the extras 27-12 to the falcons.
Both teams showed good fight and determination with some great handling on show and fantastic aggression at the break down. The falcons crossed the Line 4 more times. With the score at 46-12 to the falcons, north went down to 14 players as an injury to North Prop Nia Jones saw her leave the field.
With less than 10 mins remaining both teams fought hard to the end and it was the falcons that had the last word with a try close to full time bringing the final score to 51-12 to the falcons.
