Mumbai priest was stopped from washing feet of women in 1994
Last week, the new head of the Catholic Church broke the Easter tradition by washing the feet of women.mumbai Updated: Apr 02, 2013, 02:02 IST
Last week, the new head of the Catholic Church broke the Easter tradition by washing the feet of women.
But for many Mumbaiites, the news of Pope Francis washing the feet of women inmates of a juvenile prison brought back memories of a 1994 incident, when a Malad priest had similarly tried to break convention by washing the feet of women house help, but was stopped from doing so by the local bishop.
The priest, Father Hugh Fonseca, who was the parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Malad, died in June 2011.
Dolphy D'souza, former president of The Bombay Catholic Sabha, who was then the chairman of the church's parish council, said, "It was decided that during the mass on Maundy Thursday, the priest would wash the feet of women house help."
The ritual is done to commemorate Christ's washing of the feet of his 12 disciples before their last meal together. Members of the Malad church collected 12 women house help from the area and gathered at the church.
"We reported early, but, Father Fonseca took me aside and told me that the bishop had asked him not to go ahead with the idea. He said that he knew this would happen."
Apparently, some church members had complained to the Bishop about the plans and Fr. Hugh Fonseca was told that washing the feet of women at the altar was against church laws.
As member of the clergy, Fonseca obeyed the 'Oath of Obedience' that every priest swears to and relented.
But he directed lay members of the church, including D'Souza, to wash the feet of the women below the altar, while he cleaned the feet of 12 men who worked as house help at the same time on the altar above.
The bishop has since retired, but father Anthony Charanghat, spokesperson for the archdiocese of the city, who was then the editor of the church newsweekly, confirmed the incident.
The Pope has found a lot of support in India. "When the Pope does this, it will create ripples and there will be debates as people take positions," said D'Souza.

Beginning his career as an actor for Fifth Generation luminaries Zhang Yimou and Xie Fei, Jiang Wen's move to the director's chair would happen in 1994 with In the Heat of the Sun, a nostalgic tale about a group of adolescent males set during the Cultural Revolution. His subsequent directorial projects continued to mine China's recent past, films full of pathos and irony, that were willing to not merely propagate state sponsored propaganda but attacking preconceived prejudices. And as a testament to Jiang's skills behind the camera, critics and audiences alike have rightly lauded each film for their visual inventiveness and narrative sensibilities.
Let the Bullets Fly (2010), Jiang's fourth directorial effort, is a fun and well-executed action adventure flick. Written, directed, and starring Jiang as the bandit "Pocky" Zhang, the plot is reminiscent of Robin Hood as Zhang and his band of Merry Men do battle with a corrupt tyrannical mob boss, Master Huang, played with comedic relish by Chow Yun Fat. The setting, a podunk town in the south of China called Goose Town could have come right out of a Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige neorealist epic from the 1980s. Jiang choses instead to set the story during the Warlord Era, a tumultuous time in China's history before the Japanese invasion when huge swathes of the country were cut up and divided amongst a handful of military warlords.
The film wastes no time in establishing its filmic bon mots, the Western genre by way of Sergio Leone and the jidai-geki through the work of Akira Kurosawa. A team of horses gallops across the screen, but instead of a horse carriage trailing right behind we get an iron horse, the symbol of the death of the West, carrying a platoon of soldiers guarding Goose Town's new provincial governor, Ma Bangde, played by Ge You, his wife (Carina Lau), and his adviser. In an impressive show of choreography and special effect, Zhang and his men derail the train and kill everyone except Ma and his wife, but unlucky for Zhang the money he is anxious to collect is nonexistent. Leading Zhang to bully Ma to act as his adviser as he plays Goose Town's new governor, and which quickly pits Zhang against Master Huang for control of the town.
Similar to a Leone Western or a Kurosawa picture, specifically his answer to the gritty chambara genre, Yojimbo (1961), Let the Bullets Fly does not shy away from violence. Instead, it plays with the concept of violence. People don't get shot or stab and just drop dead. They bleed, scream, weep, and the sounds of bones crushing and flesh tearing are practically on a loop throughout the narrative runtime. All the while commenting, albeit in a less original way, about the absurdity and randomness of violence within a corrupt environment. Like one of the Dollars pictures or a Toshiro Mifune samurai picture, Zhang is the archetypal anti-hero, out to make a quick buck and apathetic to the plight of Goose Town's inhabitants until he has a reason, revenge, to get involved. And while classic Westerns and samurai pictures colored their characters be they villain, hero, and everything in-between in one of two tones, white hat or black hat, Zhang opts for a more nuanced approach.
In terms of the visual, Jiang and the film's cinematographer, Zhao Fei, rebel against the neorealist aesthetic of the Fifth Generation filmmakers and the amateurish/Direct Cinema ethos of auteurs like Jia Zhangke. Instead, Let the Bullets Fly plays with the conventions of the art itself. The editing is fast paced, the shot compositions are bright and garish, and the camera speeds its way from one frame to the next, never lingering long enough to question the chaos at play. Yet, with all the stylistic flourishes on display mistaking it as style substituting for a lack of substance would be a grave error.
One of the great pleasures of watching Jiang's picture is the acting, and in a film with three of the most critically lauded actors of the Chinese screen playing integral roles you never, for a moment, get bored as they spout the rich dialogue or commit to their unique performances. Ge You vacillates in his portrayal of Ma, transitioning from sniveling coward, huckster, and ne'er-do-well all in one scene, but though he is a weasel, some would say a metaphor for China's bourgeoisie, he elicits more sympathy from the audience because he is a caricature of a capitalist. He bumbles his way to a governorship, the butt of most jokes, and he is the constant target of abuse from Master Huang and "Pocky" Zhang.
Chow Yun Fat has double duty playing Master Huang and Huang's double. The former is arch, while his performance as the double is pure vaudevillian. Chow manages to telegraph so much about Huang's state of mind merely by the way he contorts his face and mouth. And though he plays the antagonist in the film, audiences are just as likely to laugh at him, as they would hate him. As for Jiang's portrayal of Zhang, he comes right out of the Mifune/Eastwood mold. His stride, posture, and dialogue mark him as the anti-hero sent by divine providence to clean Goose Town of corruption.
Let the Bullets Fly broke countless box office records during its initial release and was critically appreciated. It has been labeled as "unabashedly entertaining" and "captivating" by critics. Plus the film has garnered multiple nominations and awards. Though writing, directing, and acting are nothing new for Jiang, working in a more mainstream genre, less cerebral than his earlier pictures, is. The fact that the screenplay went through more than 30 separate drafts before Jiang was happy with the script proves that he was working in unfamiliar territory. Yet, by some miracle of the cinema gods he not only makes a satisfying actioner he also succeeds in inventing a sub-genre that will most certainly be copied over and over again.

The light at the end of the tunnel seems to be coming into focus for the Golden State Warriors.
Stephen Curry, ruled out for another month, will be re-evaluated at the start of March and the team is "hopeful" that his return from a broken left hand will come in March, according to The Athletic's Anthony Slater.
Steph Curry recovery update: Out another month, all 11 February games. Another re-evaluation in four weeks. Making steady progress. Team is "hopeful" for a March return. Curry clearly targeting the start of the month. He's been going through increased intensity shooting routines.— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) February 1, 2020
That's in line with previous reports that Curry is targeting a March 1 return date and his chances of returning that month are "excellent." A return then would mean Curry will have missed 51 games, having been out since Oct. 30.
Getting Curry back should obviously come as good news for the Warriors, but the team's incentives at that point in the season might make things awkward. The team currently has the worst record in the NBA at 10-39, and will likely be all but eliminated by the time Curry is able to come back.
If the Warriors are still struggling by then, the best path back to championship contention will probably be playing Curry as lightly as possible while gunning for superior position in the draft lottery. That's probably not the way anyone envisioned them finishing out their season, but it remains reality for what has been a surreal year in the Bay Area.

Transport Secretary Philip Hammond today announced that the government would be consulting on raising the current limit of the speed of light.
'The 300-million-metres-per-second speed limit was introduced at the beginning of the universe and is clearly now out of date,' he said. 'We've seen huge advances in sub-atomic automotive safety since then. What we would be doing here is bringing a number of neutrinos which routinely flout the limit back on the right side of the laws of relativity, and that has to be a good thing.'
The proposal follows recent trials in an underground transport network on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva in which certain road users were allowed to exceed the current limit. The success of that experiment means that Ministers are convinced the existing law needs to change.
'Not only would this change be good for scientists, it would also be good for business,' continued Hammond. 'Increasing the speed limit would reduce the journey time from the sun to the earth from its current sluggish 8 minutes and 19 seconds, bringing enormous economic benefits by increasing the amount of sunlight we receive and potentially lengthening the day.'
However, critics of the plan have expressed concern. 'Physicists have already shown complete disregard for sub-atomic safety,' said campaign group BRAKE. 'A rise in the light-speed limit is only going to see more scientific theories die needlessly in our laboratories each year as scientists smash particles together at ever increasing velocity.'
Despite the criticism Ministers have vowed to press on with the scheme, but have also promised to get tough with selfish sub-atomic road users who tail-gate, hog the middle lane and overtake on the inside.

Testing the Weather Cover for the Mobius Wide Angle Camera
This silicone Weather Cover keep the Mobius ActionCam clean and dry in messy conditions such as rain, snow, mud, dust, etc. Yet allows activation of the buttons as well as visibility of LED's.
The cover also helps to protect your camera from shock or impact from dropping. It also aids the camera in cold weather usage.
The fact that the cover is made from Silicone Rubber, allows it to stretch over the lens, then fits tightly around the backside of the lens and provide a seal. It works just like a scuba diving mask. The inside of the camera stays dry, the lens gets wet, but is unharmed. Access to the memory card and USB port is simple and easy by just lifting up the backside of the cover. Using the cover also allows you to still use the protective lens cap as well. (cover may also be removed)

I like to design patterns for a specific season. I have a sweater full of green leaves for Spring, another one with some bunches of grapes for Fall. When I sat down to design this vest, I wanted to come up with something for Winter. Winter.
The first thing that came to my mind wasn't snow, not at all. It was a fireplace. With a small warm fire, a mug of hot and spicy mulled wine in my hands - having a nice chat with some friends or just enjoying a good book or knitting… I wouldn't need a big chunky sweater for that. I would need a vest, however, in bright red merino yarn. And of course the texture must have to do something with fire. So I drew and charted until I got the flames for bottom of the vest, then designed the cables around them for the light and smoke of the fire.
Firelight is worked in the round up to the armholes, and then divided for the front and back. It's completely seamless; the shoulders are joined with three-needle bind off.
PLEASE READ! The instructions " Continue working in pattern until you have completed the first 16 16, 16, 16, 18, 18, 18 rounds of Chart A." refer to all sizes. Unfortunately, they are in the same paragraph as the set-up round for size 3X, therefore it is easy to overlook them.

A pattern to be used with Lorna's Laces Liberty Yarn. The pattern is a repeat of 6 stitches and the right and left socks are mirror images of one another. The pattern is written for Shepherd Worsted weight yarn, changes for Shepherd Sport and Shepherd Sock weight yarns in parentheses.
|Knit into the
back loop of the stitch, twisting it
Place the first stitch on a cable needle and hold to the back, knit the second stitch, knit the stitch from the cable needle
Place the first stitch on a cable needle and hold to the front, knit the second stitch, knit the stitch from the cable needle
Knit the next two stitches together through the front loops (a right leaning decrease)
Knit the next two stitches together through the back loops (a left leaning decrease)
Purl the next two stitches together
Lorna's Laces Liberty Yarn 1 (2,2) skeins, size 5 (3, 1) double pointed needles or as desired for a fabric you prefer (this patterning results in a slightly more dense fabric), markers, yarn needle.
Leg pattern, right leg

Heel pattern (slip all stitches as if to purl)
Row 1 Slip the first stitch, *knit 1, slip 1* repeat between * to last stitch, end knit 1
Row 2 Slip the first stitch, purl remaining stitches
Row 3 Slip the first stitch, knit two, *slip one, knit one* repeat between * to last two stitches, end knit two
Row 4 Repeat row 2
Liberty Socks
Cast on 48 (54, 60) stitches, using three or four needles, as desired, join and knit one row.
Set up rows
Row 1 *Slip the next stitch as if to knit, purl one* repeat
Row 2 *KB, slip the next stitch as if to purl* repeat
Work KB, purl 1 ribbing for 24 (28, 30) rows or to desired cuff length.
Begin leg patterning and work for an additional 48 (54, 60) rows or desired leg length.
Divide for heel shaping
Place 27 (31, 33) stitches on hold for instep, arranging the stitches so the instep stitches begin with one knit stitch, a purl stitch, the pattern repeats and end with one knit stitch. You may leave the stitches on the needles or move them to a waste yarn, as desired.
Place the remaining 21 (23, 27) stitches on a single needle increasing one stitch by picking up the bar between stitches after the tenth (twelfth, fourteenth) sttich and place it on the neeedle, 22 (24,28) stitches. When working this added stitch knit into the back of it to twist it and be sure you have placed the stitch where it will be knitted, not slipped, on the first row of the heel flap. Work flat as directed for 20 (24, 28) rows.
Turn the heel as follows; knit to two stitches past the center, K2tog, knit one, turn. Slip the first stitch as if to purl and purl 5, P2tog, turn. Slip the first stitch as if to purl, knit to the last stitch worked on the previous right side row, knit that stitch together with the next stitch and knit the next stitch, turn. Slip the first stitch as if to purl and purl to the last stitch worked on the previous wrong side row, purl that stitch together with the next stitch and purl the next stitch, turn. Repeat this shaping
until all the stitches are taken up.
Shape the gussets, as follows, pick up into the edge stitches along the left side of the heel flap, place a marker and work in pattern across the instep stitches, place a marker and pick up along the right side of the heel flap, knit across the heel stitches. Begin to decrease the gusset stitches by working decreases as follows, * knit to two stitches before the first marker, k2tog, slip marker, work across instep stitches in pattern, slip marker, K2TBL, knit to the marker, slip marker, work instep in pattern, slip marker, KB, repeat from * until the original 48 (54, 60) stitches have been resumed.
NB: by twisting the stitch that will be decreased after the marker on every other row you get a much more crisp mirror imaged decrease line
Continue keeping the instep stitches in pattern, the sole in stockinette stitch for desired foot length less two inches. Replace markers to divide the sole and instep equally into 24 (27, 30) stitches each.
Toe shaping-
Right foot Work to three stitches before right side marker, K2tog, knit one, slip marker, knit one, K2B. Knit one row even using a KB for the stitch to be decreased after the right side marker, slipping the left side marker. Repeat to one inch short of desired length. Decrease as established before and after both markers to 12 (16, 20) stitches remaining. Kitchener toe closed.
Left foot Work to three stitches before left side marker, K2B, knit one, slip marker, knit one, K2tog. Work one row even. Repeat as for right foot, reverse shaping.

Dr Thomas patiently answered all my questions before, during and after the procedures. His manner is calm and confident. To my amazement, I did not experience any pain at all due to Dr. Thomas great experience and skill. His English is excellent. He is kind and thoughtful and has a great sense of humor. The rooms in his surgery are spotless and air conditioned. I did not experience any illness or infection during my time in India.

Friendship books or FB for short are small booklets filled with addresses of people who are into pen palling. They come in any size and shape and it is always big fun to take a look at where it had traveled. They are passed from a person to a person and every single one of them signs in it with his/hers address and additional short information, before pass ing them to the next person (pen pal). The idea behind the Fbs is that the people after you may choose to write to you, or you can choose to write an introduction letter to one of the people/addresses before you.
You can start Fbs for yourself or for friends. They sometimes have little rules: you should make several Fbs for different people, or you have to pass them to people in specific country(s) only. Whatever the rules there, I am sure that you will be soon enjoying yourself. When they are full please be fair and return to owner!

AH Weekly Poll: Galaxy Note 5 Or Galaxy S6 Edge+ Which Has You More Excited?
Samsung's Unpacked event happens in less than a week from now and that means that in less than a week Samsung could be showing off their two brand new phones: the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+. Both had been speculated for months to be getting an earlier reveal this year and instead of Samsung waiting till IFA to show off their latest Galaxy Note device. Both will have some slight improvements over previous iterations, with the Galaxy S6 Edge+ having a slightly larger display than the original Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy Note 5 having things like an improved S Pen.
There will be other enhancements too of course, as Samsung is sure to be giving each some updated hardware. Although the Galaxy Note 5 is likely to be more of a departure from the Galaxy Note 4 than the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is to be from the Galaxy S6 Edge. This would mostly be due to the Galaxy Note 5's new body design which is thought to be the new glass and metal setup Samsung used for its flagships earlier this year. There are still plenty of unknowns, like price, availability, and confirmed specifications, but it shouldn't be long before those details are made public. The question is, which Samsung device has you more excited? The Galaxy Note 5 or the Galaxy S6 Edge+? Are you looking forward to a new sleek design for the Note series or do you just want a Galaxy S6 Edge with a bigger screen?Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

SnoCross returns with tougher competition
Nothing has changed; Tucker Hibbert is the favorite to win gold and become the first six-peat in an X Games winter event.
Everything has changed; a kid from Quebec named Tim Tremblay is the reigning Amsoil Championship Snocross Pro Open champion even though he didn't start racing sleds until he was 18.After one year off the schedule, SnoCross, the oldest motorized sport in all of X Games is back with storylines new and old. Although Hibbert didn't dominate the national series last year, his resume of 10 overall medals in X Games SnoCross gives him a clear edge in Aspen.
In the two years since Hibbert last competed on Buttermilk Mountain he's won two more national ISOC-sanctioned titles, another FIM World Snowcross championship, suffered a major internal injury and made a single race return to professional motocross. Although he missed only the final national snocross race of the season in 2012 with a grade four kidney laceration, 2012-13 is sort of a comeback year.
Last year he only won three of the 15 finals, struggled with the machine, and felt slightly empty without having to prepare for what has been the single biggest race in the history of snowmobiling since 1998 -- X Games, an event that has been Hibbert's priority since 2000.
"I think it affects it a lot more than people realize or want to admit," said Hibbert of the sport of snocross with no X Games. There's no way to deny that it definitely hurt our sport last year and hurt snowmobiling in general, to lose that excitement and exposure. It was a weird feeling to not have that carrot and goal to work for it all year. It definitely set a different tone for our race team all season."SnoCross ran uninterrupted for 14 years and was left out in 2012. "As we laid out the schedules and sports mix for 2013, the right opportunity to include SnoCross and Snowmobile Speed & Style presented itself," said Tim Reed, senior director of content development for X Games.
Joe Duncan, the sport organizer for snowmobiling at X Games Aspen and other national snowmobiling events said it was the youth who were affected the most by the absence of X Games.
"It's what these kids knew they wanted to get to," Duncan said. "When it went it away it hurt the sport from the bottom up. The top guys were already there but the bottom guys, they wanted to get there and it was gone."
Duncan said with racing back in X Games a burst of excitement can be seen throughout the industry that was missing in 2012. Using Hibbert as an example, it was a very un-Tucker-like year. He was on a new model sled, didn't get enough testing and parts development done and struggled to find momentum. By March he was starting to feel good and then he was hit with the devastating injury that left him in the hospital for two weeks. Even before the injury his hope for a seventh national title was lost and it was Tremblay who earned the crown, his second as a full professional.
"Tucker Hibbert's not No. 1 anymore and they can beat him. You can see it when they're racing," Duncan said. "As we all know in the racing world, a good portion of whether you can win or lose is in your mind. Before it was no matter how bad of a start, no matter what happened, Tucker would find a way to win. He's that good. But now there's the crack in the field. There's a door open and the guys have been taking advantage of it, which makes for great racing."
Tremblay has two X Games appearances, a seventh and 11th in 2010 and 2011 and those finishes represent the last piece of what's left to be done in his short professional career. He's been waiting two years for another opportunity."My snocross career has been really good so far," said Tremblay, 26. "I wish I could have started earlier but with all those years I got I think I've done pretty good. It would be good to win at X Games so I can say I won at all the events that I could."
First, Tremblay and other co-favorites such as Robbie Malinoski, Ross Martin and Darrin Mees have to find a way to strike quickly in Aspen. In three of the past five SnoCross finals, Hibbert has led every single lap and in the two where he didn't lead flag to flag, he wasted little time getting to the front.
Martin is often considered to have the best shot at beating Hibbert but bad luck and mental miscues have kept him from being a more serious threat. In 2010 he had last gate pick in the final because of a qualifying crash. By the time he'd worked into silver medal position the leader was out of reach. In 2011 Martin jumped the start. He finished the first lap side by side with Hibbert but received the meatball flag and was forced to pull to the side for a time pause. Again, by the time he found second place, his chance to win was gone.
Explaining why Hibbert is so dominant in Aspen is tough. Or maybe it's not. With X Games on the calendar Hibbert said he trains and prepares differently. As of Jan. 14 he was already in Colorado training, testing and acclimating. In addition to the physical preparations taken for body and machine, Hibbert has developed a mental edge that's been unmatched in the sport. Unfortunately for his competition, that edge gets sharper as the stakes rise.
"I feel like it definitely is a situation that I don't struggle with. It definitely doesn't affect me," Hibbert said of the pressure of big events. "I've been racing X Games for so many years and I've learned how to deal with the pressure and the whole situation but there are athletes out there that kind of struggle with the pressure and all the media and hype."
Hibbert started the new Amsoil Snocross season off with a disappointing first round in Duluth, Minn., where he failed to make the podium in either final. He's been flawless since then and comes into Aspen with a four-race win streak. He said not winning at Round 1 helped and gave him motivation to try harder. Now he's back to making winning seem easy again."It's never easy," Hibbert said. "I don't want to say that. I would say it's getting harder. With the competition stepping up and getting better every year it forces us to do the same and we've got to find new ways to get better. I enjoy that challenge for sure."
The course at Aspen has always been different because of the man-made snow, the length, big Supercross-like jumps and because it's built exclusively for professional riders it gets only about 10 percent of the use that a national track gets with amateur, youth and semi-pro classes. Duncan said the 2013 course will be around a half-mile, three-tenths of a mile shorter than it was in 2011. That should cut lap times down by 20 seconds. It will also feature a crossover jump where competitors ride between the takeoff and landing. When asked if he purposely builds courses to stop runaway wins Duncan says, "We try! Tucker has proved us wrong many a time. It's really hard to do but we do try."
The athlete list for the 15th running of X Games SnoCross is filled with veterans, rookies, semi-pros, a former motocross racer and even freestyle riders. To win, Tucker has to beat them all and no matter how heavy the medals hanging from his neck get he's always humble enough to remember that.
"That's something I've learned from my first X Games," Hibbert said. "I won in 2000 as a semi-pro and I don't think there's a single person on the starting line that even thought I was going to be a threat. I try not to rule anybody out."

The Tidal Wave of Bottled Water
It used to be that water was a simple way of quenching your thirst. Now it is a designer beverage. But is there really a difference between tap water and bottled waters?
A Ubiquitous Product
Walk into any supermarket, drug store, convenience store, vending area, or shopping mall, and you are likely to find an array of various brands of bottled water. It is estimated that Americans now consume more than two billion gallons of bottled water per year. Yet many people are surprised when they find out exactly what is in bottled water.
The definition of bottled water is pretty straightforward: any water (generally containing no additives) intended for human use that is sealed in a bottle or other container. What is surprising, however, is the source of bottled water. Because, in addition to such "natural" sources as artesian, spring, mineral, and sparkling water, approximately 25% of all bottled waters originate in municipal water supplies.
Is Bottled Water Regulated?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies bottled water as a food and regulates it according to standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. According to FDA rules, bottled water products must be tested each year to be certain they are free of, or contain only trace amounts of, certain contaminants. These include:
- Inorganic chemicals, such as barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, and nitrates
- Herbicides and pesticides: a broad group of organic chemicals that includes polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
- Volatile organic chemicals, such as benzene (a gasoline product) or tetrachloroethylene (cleaning solvents)
- Radioactive components, such as radium
- Coliform bacteria: a microorganism that indicates other disease-causing bacteria may be present
In addition, bottled water is tested for aesthetic contaminants such as iron, zinc, sulfate, or chloride, as well as other physical characteristics which, though not posing a health hazard, can negatively affect the taste, odor, or appearance of the water. Many state environmental agencies require that as a condition for selling bottled water in that state, the water be tested for certain additional contaminants not tested for by FDA. Finally, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), a large industry trade group, also requires that its member companies test for certain contaminants not covered by FDA.
Water is classified as "bottled water" or "drinking water" if it meets all applicable federal and state standards, is sealed in a sanitary container, and is sold for human consumption. Bottled water cannot contain sweeteners or chemical additives (other than flavors, extracts or essences) and must be calorie-free and sugar-free. Flavors, extracts, and essences derived from spice or fruit can be added to bottled water, but these additions must comprise less than 1% by weight of the final product. Beverages containing more than the 1%-by-weight flavor limit are classified as soft drinks. In addition, bottled water may be sodium-free or contain "very low" amounts of sodium. Some bottled waters contain natural or added carbonation.
So, Is Bottled Water Safer Than Tap Water?
Not necessarily. The requirements for testing of municipally supplied tap water are generally just as stringent as those required for the testing of bottled water. However, there may be other reasons to choose bottled water, such as:
- Private water supplies: In some areas, especially rural areas, tap water is supplied by private sources, which may not test their water as stringently as cities, towns, and other municipalities do. The same problem can also apply to water obtained from private wells.
- Taste, odor, or color: Although not dangerous to your health, some municipally-supplied water may contain amounts of chlorine, sulfur, iron, manganese, or other products that can give the water an unpleasant taste, appearance, or smell.
- Interruption of municipal water supply: Natural disasters (ie, hurricane, tornado) or man-made problems can cause municipal supplies to be temporarily unavailable.
- Municipal water contamination: In some municipalities, especially smaller ones, water supplies can become contaminated for short periods of time. And, while municipalities are required to inform citizens of such contamination, they are allowed to continue sending contaminated water to homes and businesses while the problem is being remedied.
What Are the Reasons Against Drinking Bottled Water?
There are a few reasons not to drink bottled water:
- Cost: Bottled water is much more expensive than tap water.
- Safety: Unlike municipalities, which usually track water-borne illnesses and report them to the citizenry, bottled water suppliers are not required to do so (although some may).
- Fluoride: Most municipalities add fluoride to their water supplies, which helps to improve the dental health of those people—especially children—who drink it. Since most bottled water companies do not add fluoride to their water, some health professionals fear that the dental health of children who drink mainly bottled water will be compromised.
- Taste: Some plastic containers for bottled water can give the water a plastic taste and odor.
Are There Alternatives to Bottled Water?
Many people now opt for drinking water filtration systems (either filtered containers into which tap water is poured or filtration systems that are directly hooked to the tap). These systems, which are more economical than bottled water, generally improve the taste, appearance, and odor of tap water and may also remove some contaminants. A note of caution, however. In most (if not all) cases, such systems should not serve as a substitute for bottled water if your tap water comes from a private water supply system subject to little or no regulation or testing, or from a municipal water supply system that has temporarily become contaminated.
The Many Names of Bottled Water
Today's supermarket shelves offer an array of bottled waters. But what do the terms on the labels really mean? The International Bottled Water Association defines the following types of bottled water:
- Artesian water/artesian well water: Bottled water from a well that taps a confined aquifer (a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sand) in which the water level stands at some height above the top of the aquifer.
- Well water: Bottled water from a hole bored, drilled, or otherwise constructed in the ground whose water source is an aquifer.
- Mineral water: Bottled water containing not less than 250 parts per million total dissolved solids. Mineral water is distinguished from other types of bottled water by its constant level and relative proportions of mineral and trace elements at the point of emergence from the source. All minerals must be natural, not added.
- Purified water: Water that has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis, or other suitable processes and that meets the United States Pharmacopoeia's definition of purified water. Other suitable product names for bottled water treated by one of the above processes may include "distilled water" if it is produced by distillation, "deionized water" if the water is produced by deionization, or "reverse osmosis water" if the process used is reverse osmosis.
- Sparkling water: Water that, after treatment and possible replacement with carbon dioxide, contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that it had at emergence from the source. (An important note: Soda water, seltzer water, and tonic water are not considered bottled waters. Because they may contain sugar and calories, these products are considered soft drinks.)
- Spring water: Bottled water derived from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth. Spring water must be collected only at the spring or through a bore hole tapping the underground formation finding the spring.

For a long time, during my rewarding years as a psychologist working with and fascinated by people, something which ran alongside an active engagement with the Bahá'í community, I puzzled over how all that could be reconciled with a highly introverted temperament.
Susan Cain's inspiring book, Quiet, gives a fascinating insight into the dynamics of introversion and dispels many of the myths attached to that label. Her book covers a huge amount of ground and it would be impossible to do justice to its complexity in a couple of blog posts. So, I've chosen just two aspects to look at in more detail: Free Trait Theory and Introvert/Extravert partnerships.
The first of those is one of the most important in her book, at least for anyone who wants to combine introversion with social effectiveness. It helps resolve the puzzle that perplexed me for so long. She discusses the extent to which we are prisoners of our temperament. This thread runs through the whole book but there is a particularly telling section towards the end. It concerns this concept of Free Trait Theory. What she means by that will become clear as we go on.
Clearly if introversion condemned introverts to pass their days as hermits many of us, not least all Bahá'í introverts, would have a huge problem with that. Many of us want to be making an impact of some positive kind on the social world within which we live and, as Cain explains, there is no reason at all why we shouldn't be able to do exactly that and very effectively as well. This is where Free Trait Theory comes in (pages 209-210):
According to Free Trait Theory, we are born and culturally endowed with certain personality traits — introversion, for example — but we can and do act out of character in the service of "core personal projects."
In other words, introverts are capable of acting like extroverts for the sake of work they consider important, people they love, or anything they value highly.
There is a sense in which this could fairly be seen to involve some degree of forcing oneself against the grain. This doesn't mean that a socially active introvert is some kind of hypocrite.
She quotes Polonius from Hamlet: 'To thy own self be true.' The full quote, which she doesn't include, continues: 'And it must follow, as the night the day,/Thou canst not then be false to any man.' As a former English teacher I am always uncomfortable when a writer of any kind quotes one of Shakespeare's characters and assumes that the words exactly represent what Shakespeare the man believed. Whether these words of advice about integrity, given by the officious and duplicitous busybody, Polonius, to his son Laertes, are to be taken at face value in the context of the play is a question we'd better park for now. Sue Cain is using them as a clear and well-known reference point. She continues (page 210):
. . . we are only pretending to be extroverts, and yes, such inauthenticity can be morally ambiguous (not to mention exhausting), but if it's in the service of love or a professional calling, then we're doing just as Shakespeare advised.
She uses a friend of hers, Alex, as an example. He states (page 211):
"I could literally go years without having any friends except for my wife and kids," he says. "Look at you and me. You're one of my best friends, and how many times do we actually talk—when you call me! I don't like socialising."
Somehow, though, he also found a way to become (page 210) 'the socially adept head of a financial services company.'
Cain looks as some of the factors that might make this possible (page 212):
How was it that some of [the] pseudo-extroverts [in a study] came so close to the scores of true extroverts? It turned out that the introverts who were especially good at acting like extroverts tended to score high for a trait that psychologists call "self-monitoring."
She goes on to state that 'self-monitors are highly skilled at modifying their behaviour to the demands of a situation.' There are those who feel that this is somehow deceptive (page 214). This may be more than a touch unfair as the motivation for reading and responding smoothly to the social cues may not be to look good or to gain a personal advantage, but to avoid a faux pas and to be more effective at achieving objectives that are not self-serving but socially useful and helpful to others.
Which brings me back to perhaps the most important driver that enables introverts to transcend their natural reserve and sustain that transcendence over long periods of time. This is having a project of intense importance and value that we want to pursue. She calls it a 'core personal project.' It therefore becomes important to find a way of identifying what such a project might be if it's not already obvious. She explains (pages 217-218):
I have found that there are three key steps to identifying your own core personal projects. . . . . First, think back to what you loved to do when you were a child. How did you answer the question of what you wanted to be when you grew up? The specific answer you gave may have been off the mark, but the underlying impulse was not. . . . . Second, pay attention to the work you gravitate to. . . . . Finally, pay attention to what you envy.
This last one might seem a bit puzzling. What she means is watch out for those people whom you envy for engaging in an activity you long to do yourself.
However, it is important to bear in mind that this kind of trait transcendence is not achieved without strain. Steps have to be taken to make sure our batteries are re-charged (page 219):
. . . . . the best way to act out of character is to stay as true to yourself as you possibly can—starting by creating as many "restorative niches" as possible in your daily life.
And we also need to ensure that we deal with any close personal relationships with extraverts in the same spirit. The creator of Free Trait Theory, Professor Brian Little (page 220)
. . . . . calls, with great passion, for each of us to enter into "a Free Trait Agreement." . . . . It's a Free Trait Agreement when a wife who wants to go out every Saturday night and a husband who wants to relax by the fire work out a schedule: half the time we'll go out, and half the time we'll stay home.
The costs of failing to make those necessary arrangements can be high (page 222):
Double pneumonia and an overscheduled life can happen to anyone, of course, but for Little, it was the result of acting out of character for too long and without enough restorative niches. . . . . When your conscientiousness impels you to take on more than you can handle, you begin to lose interest, even in tasks that normally engage you.
And this brings us neatly to the point where we need to deal with introvert/extravert relationships – the topic for the next post.

Sonny Rollins and Perugia's Umbria Jazz: Giving Back the Italian Passione
He could only hobble across the stage, head of fuzzy white hair bobbing, sax clutched in a strong gnarled fist. The knees and hips of Sonny Rollins – soon to be eighty-two – might be worn out, but not his lungs.
He barely stopped for a breather – I saw him sip some water once – in nearly two hours on stage at Perugia's open air arena, Santa Giuliana. And the more the Umbria Jazz crowds deliriously shouted "Sony, Sony" (no, not a typo – but the Italian pronunciation of "Sonny"), the wilder, the more intricate, the more powerful those trills on the sax.
It was clear from the start that he was giving his all to this city, these people who adopted for their own the "saxophone colossus", Sonny Rollins, the first time he played at Umbria Jazz in 1995.
The day before his Umbria Jazz 2012 concert, Perugia made it official: in the frescoed medieval Notaries' Hall, the mayor of Perugia, Wladimiro Boccali, presented the elderly jazz phenomenon the baiocco d'oro, medieval gold coin of Perugia – this city's equivalent of the giving of the keys.
il baiocco was awarded not just to honor Sonny Rollins' extraordinary career but above all, to commemorate his strong ties to Perugia and Umbria Jazz. The tribute inscribed on the parchment affirms Perugia's wish "to honor the man and the artist for his contribution to music and the emotions he has inspired in generation of jazz fans. Perugia and her festival have a strong tie with Mr. Rollins…who has contributed in writing the history of Umbria Jazz. With this baiocco d'oro, Perugia, small great capital of jazz, affirms affection, respect, and gratitude to a giant of music."
"Molto gentili, grazie", the humble jazz giant answered in Italian as he accepted the parchment and the baiocco. Funk Off, engaging Tuscan street brass band – themselves always a crowd-pleaser at Umbria Jazz – sounded the final tribute, belting out one of Rollins' own tunes.
Yes, Perugia honored Rollins who has given Perugia his all. As Sammy Figueroa, one of Rollins' percussionists, summed it up as we chatted the next day: "Sonny was giving 100% last night – and there are lots of younger musicians who can't give more than 60%." But Sammy talked, too, about what Perugia has given to Sonny – and all the musicians who have played over the years at Umbria Jazz: "This is Italy, land of great food, great attitude, and our music is their passion. There is nothing close to this for a musician. This is a universe."
(Note: Sonny Rollins will be back for Umbria Jazz 2013. As of this writing, he's the first musician confirmed for next year)

It's already a well-known fact that they can.
The presupposed enmity between these two races has been proven to be a prejudice. At least when humans are around to supervise the relationship, it can turn out to be a very enjoyable experience.
Yes, these furry creatures might not get along at the beginning. Dogs are too rough for cats' taste, whereas felines tend to be untrustful, and they sure have dangerous claws to defend with when they feel threatened (as they often do). But the Internet is nowadays replete with memes and gifs of adorable meowy furry balls with tails that don't wag, which mingle with lovable barkers. Cats nest and sleep together with their bigger (and warmer) doggy friends. They eat together, they pet each other, they are even prone to confusing their identities.
It's like a big brother/sister syndrome. Also, female cats are known to adopt puppies and treat them as they would their own children. In any case, dogs and cats make for a nice family, along with their humans.
That's how my grandma's dachshund developed a habit of hunting mice. Long after his cat mum's death, he got a baby cat-son. Or was it a baby cat-brother? Nobody could tell for sure. Guess who chased mice? However, the dog was still a dog, and didn't particularly like rodents' taste. He practiced his hunter's abilities, but was always mindful and brought mice to the lazy cat. That's what happens when a dog was raised by a cat who takes good care of her offspring. It's a classic catdog case.
However, things don't always go so smoothly. There are definitely a few things that dog people who think about adopting a cat, or cat people who decide their feline needs a waggy companion, should bear in mind.
● Don't treat one like you would the other. Yes, both of them need love, attention and care. But it's a different kind of love. While even adult dogs are usually hyper-active, cats often prefer their time alone, as well as their safe zone. Don't force them out of it just because you're used to dogs' sociable behavior. Let the cat decide for herself when she needs canoodle.
● Cuddling just isn't done the same way. Cats like to be touched gently and snuggled softly. So stop doing whatever it is you're doing if you don't hear the purr. If he wags his tail, it doesn't mean he enjoys! Consider it a warning sign, beware and don't pet the cat. Calm him down and try to find another way of expressing your love.
● Felines have their own daily routines. They will accommodate to yours, but never completely. For example, you cannot expect the cat to share the enthusiasm for long walks, or to wake up and come to you whenever you feel like it. It just won't work. However, their self-centeredness doesn't mean they are incapable of loving you. On the contrary! But you will just have to learn to respect their independence. And so will your dog, unless he wants to end up with a scratch on the nose.
● Give them time to adjust. When introducing the newcomer, don't force him or her to immediately spend time with the senior animal. You shouldn't hurry them into a relationship. It just takes time. Both cats and dogs are territorial animals. The one that's used to being the boss will probably act defensively when challenged by another adult animal. That's why it is a much safer choice to adopt a youngling as another animal. However, if you do decide for an adult, you should install high places, out of the dog's reach, where the cat can jump and hide if she feels uncomfortable. If the dog starts chasing her, don't scold him too roughly. They are both confused and under pressure as it is. Your presence should appease the situation. It's recommendable to reward both of them once they start making a positive contact, rather than punishing them when they don't.

Arsenal In Talks With La Liga Side In Signing Turkish Midfield Controller
Goonersden brings you news from top football news sites from the likes of ESPN, SkySport, Daily Mail, Daily Star and Metro… We also Analyse football, player, transfer and predict Arsenal starting line-up.
According to Daily Star, Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona are set to offer Premier League side Arsenal Arda Turan including cash for attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil in January.
The Germany international playmaker was at the heart of everything the gunners did well on during the week where he netted once and made two more in their 5-0 victory over Huddersfield.
Barcelona star Ardan Turan has been informed he can leave the Spanish La Liga side after failing to make good impact at the Catalan club, with the Gunners reportedly interested in signing the Turkish international.
FC Barcelona have been strongly linked with the German Ozil for a long time and are readying the bid in hope Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will permit the player to leave the North London club in January, despite the French tactician stating neither the former Real Madrid playmaker or former Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez will be leaving in the New Year, with their contracts running out in the summer.
Both superstars were subject to a number of interest over the last summer but Arsene Wenger refused to cash in as he aimed to keep his best players at the Emirates club to mount a serious title challenge.

Following her performance on Day 2 of the Yahoo! Wireless Festival, held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, Rita Ora was spotted in the VIP section wearing yet another colourful look.
This time, the British singer wore a coral flamingo-festooned Katie Eary Spring 2014 shirt and Bermuda shorts from her favourite designer's menswear collection, following in the footsteps of Rihanna, who was also spotted wearing a Spring 2014 menswear look this weekend.
Feminizing this unisex look, the singer wore a One Teaspoon 'The Pretty Daggers' bralette, with crisp white sneakers completing her look.
I have to say, I love the look, especially how she made this urban menswear look sexy.

Happy National Dog Day! If you live on the Eastern Seaboard, I hope you're celebrating by preparing your entire family — quadrupeds included — for the approach of Hurricane Irene.
I'll never forget the night I spent with a rescued Katrina dog, nor the images of animals in Japan seeking refuge after the earthquake. But at least we've learned: The potential for heartbreak after a major catastrophe decreases dramatically, simply by thinking ahead.
