Question: Guru, can you tell us what happens when you chant Aum?Sri Chinmoy: When we chant Aum, we enter into a higher realm of consciousness. Aum embodies God in His three aspects: God the Creator, God the Preserver and God the Transformer. There are many who feel that God is a destroyer, not a transformer. But our philosophy says that God cannot destroy. He can only transform the things that are undivine in us. God has some wisdom. He will not create something just for the sake of fun and then destroy it for the sake of fun. No! He does not destroy us; only He transforms what is undivine in us.
Aum is the mother of all mantras. 'Mantra' means incantation. You can realise God just by chanting Aum most soulfully. That is enough, because with this mantra, you are invoking God.
[Sri Chinmoy chants Aum.]
Sri Chinmoy, Selfless service-light, Agni Press, 1977

When we see random(Scatter) things we plan to organize them, and then we think how we can do that in a simple way to solve it, so here comes the main word scatter. Then we plan to make "scatter" word in the PLOT(diagram) form, which makes things to understand more easily to solve them with day-to-day work.
So now, let's first understand Scatter Plot. A Scatter (XY) Plot has points that show the Correlation between two sets of data.
In scatter plot chart, we use horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points. Scatter plots show how much one variable is correlated by another. The relationship between two variables is called their correlation.
Different Types of Scatter Plot Charts.
- Positive Correlation
- Negative Correlation
- None
Steps to Make Scatter Plot:
- Select the data that you want to plot on the scatter chart.
- On the Insert tab, in the Charts group, click Scatter.
- Click Scatter with only Markers.
- Click the chart area of the chart.
- On the Design tab, in the Chart Styles group, click the chart style that you want to use.
An online retail company has captured the sales data of three products (Gold, Iron, and Silver) across states of united states. Management is interested to see the correlation between quant variables like Sales, Profit, Discount, and Cost.
Reporting team has decided to create the scatter plot chart with two combo box controls and three checkbox controls. In two combo box control user will select the variable and checkbox will help them to analyze which product scattering they want to see.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Cooling off at a New York City park or beach may soon be B.Y.O.B.
Two New York City Council members are proposing to ban the sale of single use water bottles at parks, beaches and other city owned properties. A further measure would ban the sale of any drink that comes in a plastic bottle, including juice and soda.
People would still be allowed to bring their own plastic bottles to those places, but wouldn't be allowed to buy them there.
The measure would also provide for filling stations at parks and beaches, so people could fill up reusable bottles at those locations.
The measure is backed by Council members Ben Kallos and Rafael Espinal.
As CBS2's Political Reporter Marcia Kramer reported, Kallos wants to start by stopping the sale of bottled water at city parks, beaches, golf courses, skating rinks, etc. Espinal would like to extend it to anything in a plastic bottle, like juice, soda, tea, etc.
"It would actually help and make a dent in the one billion plastic bottles that New York City throws away every year," Kallos said.
"There are studies that show that if we don't stop the current trend of the amount of plastic we're using, we're going to have more plastic than fish in our ocean," said Espinal.
It's a controversial proposal, Kramer reported. The International Bottled Water Association worries about dehydration.
"People frequenting parks, beaches and golf courses usually are engaged in physical activity and in summer months during extreme heat, increasing their needs for constant re-hydration. Restricting or banning the sale of bottled water is not in the public interest," a spokesperson said.
Vendors have other concerns.
"We are selling lot of water. If city try to stop selling water in the Central Park, maybe we lose our job," said one in Central Park.
While Mayor Bill de Blasio brings a reusable water bottle to all his press conferences, the bottle ban is not his No. 1 environmental concern right now.
"We are focused on banning plastic bags, which are not recyclable, unlike plastic water bottles that are," a spokesperson said.
The measure is part of a broader move against plastic waste.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently proposed legislation banning most single use plastic grocery bags in New York.
Last year, the City Council considered a 5 cent fee on plastic bags at grocery stores, but Cuomo killed the measure, calling it "deeply flawed."

One of our family's traditions is making an ornament for our Christmas tree every year. This week, I thought I'd share a couple of ideas. Maybe you can find one you'd like!
We made these cute photo block ornaments one year. They are so simple. And even my then 2-year-old could do it with little assistance. (Sorry I don't have more pictures of the steps. I took the pictures years before I was writing on this blog.)
1-inch wooden blocks
pictures, cut to 1-inch squares (I wanted a little border around my pictures so I cut mine just a bit smaller than 1-inch. I love that my son's is a little crooked in the picture above. It shows HE did it!)
Mod Podge
brush for the Mod Podge
thin-tipped markers
hooks for hanging
1. Mod Podge the picture onto the block. I had a bunch of those old children's blocks lying around that we used, but you can buy plain wood ones at the craft store. We each picked a block that had our initial on it.
2. Using marker, decorate the other sides of the blocks (optional).
3. Write the date on the block.
4. Mod Podge the whole block to seal everything.
5. Let dry.
6. Twist the hook into the top of each block.
7. Tie with ribbon. You could make a bow to make it more fancy, if you want.
8. Hang on tree!
Here are ours–without the hooks:

Worked with Sky Restoration to re-roof a business operating a very busy store on a 24hr basis. Their bid was very competitive and the communication was great. They were very mindful and polite to our customers and staff. […] I was very impressed with their work and attention to the little details. My overall experience with Sky Restoration and their team was very positive. We are a business with multiple locations and I would not hesitate to use them in the future. They did a great job.

Centre County honors veterans in Sunday ceremony
BELLEFONTE — Chilly temperatures didn't deter hundreds of Centre County residents, political leaders and, of course, veterans from turning out and packing the lawn at the Centre County Courthouse on Veterans Day for a pair of special ceremonies.
The first ceremony featured several guest speakers, music, and a special salute to veterans.
Veteran Bob Daughenbaugh was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. He talked about the importance of Veterans Day ceremonies – not only in Centre County, but across the country.
"Ceremonies in small towns and neighborhoods like this, across this country, are the heart of America," Daughenbaugh said. "It's important that we honor our veterans on this day and, for that matter, every day."
The Bellefonte Area High School band performed the National Anthem and students from St. John the Evangelist Catholic School sang songs honoring the military.
Lee Stout, an archivist and librarian emeritus of special collections at Penn State, spoke about the history of not only Veterans Day, but specifically the monuments at the Centre County Courthouse. On this Veterans Day, the monuments would be re-dedicated.
At the conclusion of the first part of the ceremony, VFW chaplain Mike Young talked about the importance of the United States military and the role that it plays not only in America, but abroad as well. He asked for God's blessing for those serving our country.
"We ask your divine blessing for all veterans, especially for those serving throughout the world in far-flung places, who at this very moment, stand guard at the gates of freedom," Young said. "Without the unselfish service of veterans, we would not enjoy the freedoms and liberties afforded to us in this great Democratic Republic we call the United States of America."
Following the traditional Veterans Day ceremony, the Centre County commissioners — Steve Dershem, Mark Higgins and Michael Pipe — helped re-dedicate the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial and Andrew Gregg Curtin Monument that have stood in front of the courthouse since 1916.
More than 100 years old, the memorial stands to remind all those who pass by of the sacrifices of the many local men and women who have served in the United States military. The inscription on it reads: "To those who died to keep the nation whole, this memorial is dedicated in grateful appreciation."
The monuments were dedicated in June of 1906.
"They were to commemorate people and military events, express gratitude and provide historical documentation for future generations," Pipe said. "By 1900, Bellefonte had already served as home to seven U.S. governors, five of them serving Pennsylvania. Not only did this memorial and monument recognize those who served our country, but it also increased the significance of this place, already celebrated for its historic associations. And by doing so, it placed veterans at the forefront of our county."
The approximately $120,000 project was helped along by a $49,475 Keystone Historic Preservation grant from the state, while the remaining cost was covered by Centre County government.
Dershem said that the monument and memorial help serve as a voice for the veterans who are no longer with us.
"If you look back, there's nobody left," Dershem said. "There are no more voices left from the World War I generation and we're largely losing the voices of the World War II generation. That puts it right in our lap. It's incumbent upon us to remember everybody who calls themselves a veteran of the United States of America. We all have that responsibility to remember all veterans – past, present and future."

One of the most anticipated games of the year has been delayed until the holiday season (Christmas) in a statement announced by the games developer Valve.
?The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.?
The game was meant to ship next week on September 30th but only a week before this release date the game has been delayed. Less than a month ago Valve told the European press at the ECTS in London that the release date was unchanged.
Valve have not set another release date allowing for people to speculate when they expect the game to launch. The fall of this year is going to be very competitive for first person shooter games with Doom 3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 both being released between now and Christmas.
Valve will be hoping that the extra media coverage generated by the set back of the game will help drive sales in the end. While the set back may be annoying for some people looking forward to the game, overall its unlikely to make a lasting bad impression.
