The Company History page lists out the major events in chronological order for DFM Foods Ltd.
|Company History - DFM Foods Ltd.
|DFM FOODS LIMITED was incorporated in the state of Delhi on 17th March, 1993 as a Public Ltd. Company. The Company obtained the certificate for commencement of business on 31st March, 1993.
DFM Foods Ltd. has been promoted by The Delhi Flour Mills Co.Ltd., Shri R.P. Jain and Shri Mohit Jain. The Company was incorporated with the object of engaging in Flour Milling and manufacture of snack food products.
The Company has since purchased two undertakings namely Jawala Flour Mills and Flavour Foods Division as running concerns from the promoter Company The Delhi Flour Mills Co.Ltd. The present installed capacity at Jawala Flour Mills and Flavour Foods Division is 1,50,000 tpa and 2808 tpa respectively.
Jawala Flour Mills was originally owned by Dhanpat Mal Jawala Dass, a partnership firm. In the year 1989, the promoter Company The Delhi Flour Mills Co.Ltd. purchased the said mill from them and subsequently, in the year 1990-91 extensively modernized it.
The Flavour Foods Division which is engaged in the manufacture of extruded Snack Foods was established by The Delhi Flour Mills Co.Ltd. in the Year 1984. These undertakings have been transferred to DFM Foods Ltd. w.e.f. 1st October, 1993. The performance of these divisions till the time they were spun off is as under :
The company is engaged in the business of Flour Milling and Extruded Snack Foods.
Flour Milling
The Flour Milling industry is an old established industry in the country. The industry consists of about 600 mills located all over the country with an estimated installed capacity of about 10 million tonnes per annum. Wheat is the only raw material and the industry processes wheat into wheat products such as maida, rawa/suji, atta and bran.
Maida, which is the principal product of the industry is used by the bakery industry for the manufacture of bread, biscuit, confectionery and various other bakery products. Besides the industrial use of maida by the bakery sector there is a fair amount of direct household consumption as well.
Rawa/Suji is mainly used by the household sector and there is an increasing usage in the industrial sector for the manufacture of pasta products such as vermicelli, noodles etc.
Atta is consumed by the household sector as well as by the restaurants, hotels and dhabas. Atta is the staple cereal diet in North India.
Bran is used by the dairy industry as feed for the livestock.
The growth in demand for wheat products is dependent on increasing urbanization as this creates a larger demand for convenient foods such as bakery products. The availability of wheat is governed by the agro climate conditions and can become a constraining factor in inhibiting increase in demand. However, the current position of wheat availability is very comfortable and this is reflected by overflowing wheat stocks
with the Food Corporation of India and a record wheat harvest in 1994. Therefore, with the easy availability of wheat for the next few years, increasing urbanization, and rising income levels, the demand for the flour milling industry is expected to grow rapidly in the future.
The company is advantageously placed to exploit the increasing demand, as it is located in a large metropolitan city which itself has a huge demand, is also located in the wheat growing belt, which provides easy access to raw materials and being located in Delhi can also serve other markets all across the country. This is because Delhi is the major trading centre for wheat products for up country sales.
Extruded Snack Foods
The promoter company was the pioneer in the introduction of the Extruded Snack Foods in the Indian market. Over the last 10 years it has invested heavily in establishing its brand names like CRAX, NATKHAT, WIZZ in the market. The consumers of the extruded snack foods are largely children in the urban areas.
The Extruded Snack Food industry is still in its infancy and consists of about 10 plants located in different parts of the country. The marketing and distribution systems are critical in this industry and its growth is dependent on increasing urbanization and rising income levels. It faces competition from other snack foods such as potato chips and other children products both in the organized and unorganized sector. The
promoter company, over the last 10 years has firmly established its brands in the market, has developed a strong distribution and sales organization to serve the North Indian markets and has also developed expertise in the marketing of these products. All these are being made available to the company and it is therefore advantageously placed to further expand the sales of these products. Further growth will also depend on the introduction of new products which too the company is in a
strong position to do so. With increasing urbanization, rising income levels and changing life styles the company is confident of exploiting future increase in demand.
The Company does not have any subsidiary as on date.
-Mr. Rohan Jain has been co-opted as a Director on the Board of the Company.
-DFM Foods Ltd have declared the dividend @ 15% on paid up share capital of the Company.
-DFM Foods Ltd have recommended the payment of dividend @ 20% on the equity shares of Rs. 10/- each.

I am trying to configure a user defined access protection rule to block **\*.scr files as per the Cryptolocker message that went out last month. So far I have been able to make the appropriate exe exceptions but I am running into a problem with a number of events that don't show an exe as the process name. Example is below:
I have tried to exclude the .scr in the access protection rule but not being an exe it did not seem to have any impact. I would like to eventually select the "Block" check box for this rule. Has anyone else seen this or have any solution for it?
Thanks in advance!
Try to create a new user define rule, choose file and folder and typee **\.scr and then block What you want to block when writing..... Then you block only for that rule.
My advice would be to test this rule in a single Machine chosing only report mode to see the impact and if the impact is the one that you want then implement the blocking mode.
Best regards,
Jose Maria
I do have this rule setup on a few machines in report mode so that I am not affecting anything. My rule is shown below:
Looking at the events in reporting mode is what is showing the .scr as the process name and I cannot fully implement the block on this rule until I am sure that production systems will not be affected.
I am not sure if this is the correct way to fix it but I uninstalled and reinstalled the VSE software. After that the appropriate exe's were being reported back in the Threat Source Process Name field.

Parathreads are an idea for parachains to temporarily participate (on a block by block basis) in Polkadot security without needing to lease a dedicated parachain slot. This is done through economically sharing the scarce resource of a parachain slot among a number of competing resources (parathreads). Chains that otherwise would not be able to acquire a full parachain slot, or do not find it economically sensible to do so, are enabled to still participate in Polkadot's shared security -- albeit with an associated fee per block. It also offers a graceful off-ramp to parachains that no longer require a dedicated parachain slot, but would like to continue using the Relay Chain.
According to this talk in Chengdu, the origin of the idea came from similar notions in the limited resource of memory on early personal computers of the late '80s and '90s. Since computers have a limited amount of physical memory, when an application needs more, the computer can create virtual memory by using swap space on a hard disk. Swap space allows the capacity of a computer's memory to expand and for more processes to run concurrently with the trade-off that some processes will take longer to progress.
Parachain vs. Parathread
Parachains and parathreads are very similar from a development perspective. One can imagine that a chain developed with Substrate can at different points in its lifetime assume one of three states: 1) independent chain with secured bridge, 2) parachain, or 3) parathread. It can switch between these last two states with relatively minimal effort on behalf of developers since the difference is more of an economic distinction than a technological one.
Parathreads have the exact same benefits for connecting to Polkadot that a full parachain has. Namely, it is able to send messages to other para{chain,threads} through XCMP and it is secured under the full economic security of Polkadot's validator set.
The difference between parachains and parathreads is economic. Parachains must be registered through a normal means of Polkadot, i.e. governance proposal or parachain slot auction. Parathreads have a fixed fee for registration that would realistically be much lower than the cost of acquiring a parachain slot. Similarly to how DOT are locked for the duration of parachain slots and then returned to the winner of the auction, the deposit for a parathread will be returned to the parathread after the conclusion of its term.
Registration of the parathread does not guarantee anything more than the registration of the parathread code to the Polkadot Relay Chain. When a parathread progresses by producing a new block, there is a fee that must be paid in order to participate in a per-block auction for inclusion in the verification of the next Relay Chain block. All parathreads that are registered are competing in this auction for their parathread to be included for progression.
There are two interesting observations to make about parathreads. One, since they compete on a per-block basis, it is similar to how transactions are included in Bitcoin or Ethereum. A similar fee market will likely develop, which means that busier times will drive the price of parathread inclusion up, while times of low activity will require lower fees. Two, this mechanism is markedly different from the parachain mechanism, which guarantees inclusion as long as a parachain slot is held; parathread registration grants no such right to the parathread.
How Will Parathreads be Operated?
A portion of the parachain slots on the Relay Chain will be designated as part of the parathread pool. In other words, some parachain slots will have no parachain attached to them and rather will be used as a space for which the winner(s) of the block-by-block parathread fee auction can have their block candidate included.
Collators will offer a bid designated in DOT for inclusion of a parathread block candidate. The Relay Chain block author is able to select from these bids to include a parathread block. The obvious incentive is for them to accept the block candidate with the highest bid, which would bring them the most profit. The tokens from the parathread bids will likely be split 80-20, meaning that 80% goes into Polkadot treasury and 20% goes to the block author. This is the same split that applies also to transaction fees and, like many other parameters in Polkadot, can be changed through a governance mechanism.
For a precise description of the parathread protocol, see here.
Parathread Economics
There are two sources of compensation for collators:
- Assuming a parathread has its own local token system, it pays the collators from the transaction fees in its local token. If the parathread does not implement a local token, or its local token has no value (e.g. it is used only for governance), then it can use DOT to incentivize collators.
- Parathread protocol subsidy. A parathread can mint new tokens in order to provide additional incentives for the collator. Probably, the amount of local tokens to mint for the parathread would be a function of time, the more time that passes between parathread blocks that are included in the Relay Chain, the more tokens the parathread is willing to subsidize in order to be considered for inclusion. The exact implementation of this minting process could be through local parathread inflation or via a stockpile of funds like a treasury.
Collators may be paid in local parathread currency. However, the Relay Chain transacts with the Polkadot universal currency (DOT) only. Collators must then submit block candidates with an associated bid in DOT. This means that if the parathread offers a local currency, the collator will need to understand the exchange rate between this currency and DOT in order to place a proper DOT bid on the Relay Chain and ensure that they make a profit.
Parachain Slot Swaps
It will be possible for a parachain that holds a parachain slot to swap this slot with a parathread so that the parathread "upgrades" to a full parachain and the parachain becomes a parathread. The chain can also stop being a chain and continue as a thread without swapping the slot. The slot, if unoccupied, would be auctioned off in the next auction period.
This provides a graceful off-ramp for parachains that have reached the end of their lease and do not have sufficient usage to justify renewal; they can remain registered on the Relay Chain but only produce new blocks when they need to.
Parathreads help ease the sharp stop of the parachain slot term by allowing parachains that are still doing something useful to produce blocks, even if it is no longer economically viable to rent a parachain slot.
The off-boarding is always in the following order: Parachain -> Parathread -> Dormant thread. This process is not automatic due to a thread requiring a deposit, so an expired parachain will skip right to dormant thread if for some reason there isn't a single operational entity of that chain left (no sudo or member of democracy to make that deposit).
When going dormant, the ParaId and the original genesis, as well as all the historically finalized blocks stay on the Relay Chain, so a dormant thread or chain can continue where it left off if it rebuilds its community and gathers the necessary funds for a new lease or parathread deposit.

After more than 300 airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said this week that the group "remains a very potent force."
"Yes, they've changed some of their tactics, there's absolutely no question about that, in response to the pressure that we put them under, but that doesn't make them less dangerous or less potent over time," Kirby said.
"Yes, they're blending in more. Yes, they're dispersing, and yes, they aren't communicating quite as openly or as boldly as they once were. That's a good thing, because if they aren't operating as freely, then they aren't as free to achieve their goals.
"That doesn't mean ISIL doesn't still pose a threat. It doesn't mean they aren't still trying and in some cases succeeding at taking and holding ground. No one said this would be easy or quick, and no one should be lulled into a false sense of security by accurate airstrikes. We will not, we cannot bomb them into obscurity."
We've heard countless times by now that airstrikes alone will not defeat and destroy the group—a point even Kirby emphasized.
"This is going to be a long struggle," he said, urging "a sense of strategic patience about this entire effort."
"This group will adapt, and we're going to have to adapt right along with them. And air strikes alone, you're just not going to bomb them away. It's not going to happen like that."
He continued: "We've been pretty honest about the fact that military action alone will not win this effort, but that shouldn't be taken as an admission of ineffectiveness, and one of the ways we know we're having an effect is precisely because the terrorists have had to change their tactics and their communications and their command and control."


text: My Militia 265 Posted August 10, 2016 A concealed carry instructor in Ohio was charged yesterday for felony reckless homicide and his daughter charged with misdemeanor negligent homicide because a student in a June class they were teaching fired a live round that went through a wall, striking the gun shop owner in the neck and killing him. Mark Montgomery was indicted Tuesday on one count of felony reckless homicide, while his daughter, Katie Dunham, was indicted on one count of misdemeanor negligent homicide, the Clermont County Sheriff's Office said. The sheriff's office said that on June 18, Montgomery was running the class at the KayJay Gun Shop and his daughter was assisting when a student's gun fired. "We were doing malfunction misfires and we have plastic bullets and we just, I just, we just double checked the bullets and there was a live round in one of the guns and it went through the wall and shot the owner in the neck," a 911 caller said. The student who loaded, chambered, and negligently fired the fatal shot has not been named. It's very difficult to make any sort of informed comment about the charges when so little information has been publicly shared about the details of the incident. I've personally never done malfunction clearances in a classroom setting. My malfunction clearance drills have all been conducted on a hot range, where a malfunction is staged, the shooter clears the malfunction, and then engages a target with one or two shots. The instructors and student clearly failed to identify and remove live rounds in an exercise that was supposed to use plastic bullets, but I don't understand why the instructors alone are facing homicide charges, and the student who fired the fatal shot is not facing any charges at all.

Rev. William Hopper: Advocate for refugees
November 11, 2003
The Rev. William F. Hopper, pastor of St. James Lutheran Church in Detroit, died of injuries he received in a car accident Friday in Livonia.
He was 53 and lived in Livonia.
Since interning at Reformation Lutheran Church in Detroit in 1973, he had been associated with four other metro churches.
But his reach went far beyond the churches he pastored. He set up a soup kitchen in Detroit and traveled tirelessly to southeast Asia to help with the resettlement of refugees from the Vietnam War.
It started when a church that had helped his soup kitchen at St. Andrew Redeemer Lutheran Church in Detroit sought his help with sponsoring a family.
"So Redeemer, an inner-city African-American congregation, sponsored a series of families who had been disrupted by the Vietnam War and were in refugee camps in Thailand," Rev. Hopper's ex-wife, Joy, said Monday.
"Out of that he became more involved and began traveling to . . . assist in expediting resettlements."
Rev. Hopper was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, and earned a bachelor's degree at Ohio University and a master's of divinity at the Hamma School of Theology, Columbus, Ohio.
During his internship, he began a lifelong love affair with Detroit. He accepted his first church job as associate pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church in Detroit in 1978.
In 1981, he became pastor at St. Andrew Redeemer, near Linwood and West Grand Boulevard, then later moved to Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Farmington Hills.
Six months ago, he went to St. James.
He was a man of many interests. He built his own harpsichord and played it. He built computers from component parts and made stained glass windows, a couple of which are at St. Andrew Redeemer, a church for which he organized the building.
Shortly after he arrived as pastor, the building was totaled.
"Through a lot of perseverance, he drummed up funds through churches in the area and insurance to construct the present building," his ex-wife said.
"The building exists today -- barrier-free and debt-free."
Survivors include two sons, Aaron and Paul; a daughter, Rebekah; three grandchildren; his father, Philip; a brother, and two sisters.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. today at St. James, 14450 Ashton Road in Detroit, where the body will lie in state for an hour before the service. Burial will be in Glen Eden Memorial Park in Livonia.
Arrangements are by the Thayer-Rock Funeral Home in Farmington.
The family suggests memorial donations to St. James, 14450 Ashton Road, Detroit 48223.

Queensland law should reflect public support for abortion
Queensland law should reflect public support for abortion – The Brisbane Times 07 April 2016
(Photo courtesy The Brisbane Times 07 April 2016)
Nearly one in three women has an abortion at some time in their life. It's hard to believe but terminating a pregnancy remains a criminal offence in Queensland. Consider some other way this glaring contradiction could be reconciled other than a smack down for 21st century women.
Let's face it: if men bore children ending unwanted pregnancies would've been legal long ago, even if the sunny land of Sir Joh, don't you worry about that.
Thankfully someone is doing something about it. The ex-ALP Independent Member for Cairns, Rob Pyne, has pledged to draft a private member's Bill to legalise abortion.
Women's rights have come a long way in a century.
In 1902, Australia was the first country to allow women to run for parliament.
In 1965, Queenslanders Merle Thornton and Rosalie Bognor chained themselves to the bar of Brisbane's Regatta Hotel, and ended the ban on women entering public bars.
A hundred years ago women couldn't vote, stand for parliament, drink in bars, enter the workforce, use "the pill", or end unwanted pregnancies.
After a century of progress, the glaring anomaly is that Queensland women still cannot exercise control over their own body – a hangover from an era when women had virtually no rights.
Abortion is legal in Victoria, ACT and Tasmania.
Mr Pyne was originally motivated by the prosecution of a young Cairns local couple in 2010, for allegedly obtaining an abortion using the drug RU486.
"When that couple were on trial in Cairns, the injustice of it really touched a chord with me," Mr Pyne said.
"Having an elderly male judge and prosecutors talking about the most intimate details involving a woman's own body, that's just wrong."
Queensland doctors continue to risk criminal charges by providing about 700 procedures a year in the far north, relying on 30-year-old court ruling that ending the pregnancy is allowable when it poses a serious danger to a woman's physical and mental health.
In an October 2015 Medical Journal of Australia editorial, Professor Caroline de Costa and Professor Heather Douglas argued that Queensland law must be updated to provide uniform access to legal and safe terminations for women in Australia.

The 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death is April 4, 2018. In preparation for the celebration of his remarkable life, the Kennedy King Memorial Initiative is hosting an event on June 6 as a way for visitors to learn about this historic moment in history.
Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy shared a special bond over peace and unity. On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. Later that day, Kennedy was expected to speak in Indianapolis. Kennedy's team advised him to cancel his speech due to safety concerns, but Kennedy decided to continue with his plans. That evening, Kennedy's speech encouraged citizens to express love and peace to one another. As a result of Kennedy's speech, Indy was one of the only cities that did not riot the night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assignation.
Every year on June 6, the Kennedy King Memorial Initiative celebrates the life of Robert F. Kennedy. This year's event will begin at 6 pm with a welcome from Judge David Dreyer, the 50th anniversary chair, followed by a greeting from Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. The evening will continue with musical entertainment and community keynote speakers. Donald Boggs, producer of the movie "A Ripple of Hope," which highlights the importance of Kennedy's speech in Indianapolis, will speak at the event."Speak Truth To Power: Voices From Beyond The Dark" a play by Ariel Dorfman based upon the book by Kerry Kennedy, will take place at 16 Park Community Center (Old School 27) at 7 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
The Indianapolis Martin Luther King Park showcases the Kennedy King Memorial. Years after visiting Indianapolis, Kennedy revisited to announce a national competition to build a "Landmark for Peace." During his visit, Kennedy spoke the following words, "why don't we make a monument to peace where all of us can live together, not with walls coming up but with walls tearing down, so we can go forward together." Help honor a moment in history and its significance of peace and unity for the city of Indianapolis at the Robert F. Kennedy Remembrance Celebration.

Michelle Ross's debut short-story collection serves as an encyclopedia of modern relationships, taking special interest in those formed on unequal footing, pitting daughters against mothers, wives against husbands, friends against friends. Legacy looms large, as behaviors are passed from one generation to the next, and those entrusted with caring for the young or keeping others employed are found derelict in their duties. Weaknesses are exploited, ignorance is exposed, and bonds are occasionally dissolved. Regarding the human condition as it is portrayed throughout this collection, one character's words echo prophetically: "You're at the complete mercy of giants who don't understand you."
In spite of all this, Ross's stories are ultimately tales of striving: to understand, to connect, to reclaim. Themes of discovery are woven tightly, as these individuals, rather than remain in the dark, are regularly drawn to the light that is missing from their lives. Optimism may not abound, but neither do these characters wallow. Time and time again, they evolve into agents of change within their own lives, even if they sometimes choose not to act.
In the end, such thematic depth gives rise to an astoundingly diverse array of voices, styles, and structures. No two entries in Ross's collection are alike, and collectively they reveal the potential of the American short story, leaving little unsaid.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!! I am Kiara and this is Love, Brown. I decided to create Love,Brown after months and months of planning, looking, and interest. I wanted an area where I could go and talk about whatever I felt the need to get off of my chest (like most bloggers). A place that was my world. I'm not looking for a following or a group of people to weigh in on it(not always) but just a place to vent, explore, and live. I've explored many different possibilities from Vlogs, to FB groups, to social circles. All which were fine, however, I felt limited. Sooooo, then I decided to try a blog.
I am a flight attendant/full-time online student/ daughter/sister/cousin/friend/writer/poet all rolled into one. I have a lot of thoughts and a lot of interest and a lot of that I want to share with YOU!! 🙂 I hope that you share my blog if wanted, comment if desired, and indulge where comfortable. Love, Brown is my baby. IT is the beginning of my voice. My start of self discovery, a re-construction of my self-confidence, and a glance at what is going on in this active brain of mine.
Soooo, here goes. Check out my first post… Love, Brown in "Can I Just Say" in the Menu and check out the other pages in Love, Brown that interest you…. Again, please share and comment and welcome to my world!!!

As you no doubt noticed, we are, yet again, behind schedule in our production of this issue. For this, we wish to apologize to you, our supporters and contributors. We will make no excuses for our tardiness as it is entirely our own fault. We are making an extra effort, as this issue goes to press, to do the layout and other work on the next issue which will be arriving slightly earlier than scheduled. This, we hope, will help make up for past problems with timing on our part. We do feel that everyone will be quite happy with the contents of this issue. We have the first of several pieces from Andrew Catero and Darcy Küntz on projecting the Tree of Life in three dimensions. A lot of thought and work has been put into these ideas and it is quite thought provoking. We also have a piece of translation work done by our own John Michael Greer from his continuing project to translate Gerard Thibault's L'Academie de l'Espee. As some may recall, John Michael had an article on this in a recent issue of Gnosis magazine. Thibault was a proponent of a form of fencing based on geometry and other Hermetic principles. Carl Hood has given us the first part of a two part article dealing with the symbolism of the Golden Dawn's Vault of the Adepts and Kenneth Stein has given us an excellent piece on Hermetic Alchemy as a practical discipline and teaching. As always, we encourage readers who are working on articles or developing ideas from their practice or studies to consider submitting an article to us. We are interested in your work and the depth of knowledge that many of you have on various topics is often surprising, even to yourselves. Publication allows us all to share knowledge as we participate in the Great Work. We will see you again in a few months. Enjoy the issue!

President Obama has spewed a lie so brazen, so easily debunked, it's hard to believe a man supposedly so smart — and in such a high position of power — can speak so recklessly.
But here he is just a couple of days ago, speaking of mass shootings and saying:
We're the only developed country on Earth where this happens.
A 10-second Google search shows the United States is by no means alone. Incidents like these are happening and have been happening around the world, including in countries where they have strict gun control laws and none of the so-called "gun culture" that Obama and his ilk so often deride to slander America.
This timeline of mass shootings around the world since the 1980s through 2012 includes these incidents:
SOUTH KOREA – A police officer went on a drunken rampage in Sang-Namdo with rifles and hand grenades, killing 57 people and wounding 38 before blowing himself up.
BRITAIN – A 27-year-old gunman rampaged through the English town of Hungerford, killing 16 people and wounding 11 before shooting himself.
FRANCE – A French farmer shot and killed 14 people including members of his family in the village of Luxiol, near the Swiss border. He was wounded and captured by police.
CANADA – A 25-year-old war movie fan with a grudge against women shot dead 14 young women at the University of Montreal, then killed himself.
NEW ZEALAND – A gun-mad loner killed 11 men, women and children in a 24-hour rampage in the seaside village of Aramoana. He was killed by police.
FRANCE – A 16-year-old youth ran amok with a rifle in the town of Cuers, killing 16 people and then himself after an argument with his parents.
BRITAIN – A gunman burst into a primary school in the Scottish town of Dunblane and shot dead 16 children and their teacher before killing himself.
AUSTRALIA – A gunman unleashed modern Australia's worst mass murder when he shot dead 35 people at the Port Arthur tourist site in the southern state of Tasmania.
NEPAL – Eight members of the Nepalese Royal family were killed in a palace massacre by Crown Prince Dipendra who later turned a gun on himself and died few days later. His youngest brother also died later raising the death toll to 10.
GERMANY – In Erfurt, eastern Germany, a 19-year-old gunman opened fire at a school, killing 12 teachers, a secretary, two students and a policeman before killing himself.
FINLAND – A student opened fire in a vocational school in Kauhajoki in northwest Finland, killing nine other students and one staff member, then killed himself.
GERMANY – A 17-year-old gunman dressed in black combat gear killed nine students and three teachers at a school near Stuttgart. He also killed one other person at a nearby clinic. He was later killed in a shoot-out with police.
BRITAIN – A gunman opened fire on people in towns across the rural county of Cumbria. Twelve people were killed and 11 injured. The gunman then killed himself.
NORWAY – A gunman blew up a government building in Oslo and then opened fire at a youth summer camp of Norway's ruling political party, on the holiday island of Utoeya, killing 77 people.
There's also this list of shootings around the world, which includes many of the above incidents as well as these:
— March 11, 2012: Sixteen Afghan villagers, including nine children, are killed during a predawn attack in which Army prosecutors have charged Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 39.
— April 30, 2009: Farda Gadyrov, 29, enters the prestigious Azerbaijan State Oil Academy in the capital, Baku, armed with an automatic pistol and clips. He kills 12 people before killing himself as police close in.
— Nov. 7, 2007: After revealing plans for his attack in YouTube postings, 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen fires kills eight people at his high school in Tuusula, Finland.
Not only are there mass shootings around the world, there are mass stabbings. In August 2012, a teenager in China killed eight persons and wounded five others in a knife attack. On December 14, 2012, the same day as the infamous shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut, a man in China stabbed 22 school children and an adult. In 2010, nearly 20 children were killed and 50 injured in knife attacks at schools in China.
President Obama declares:
"Right now, it's not even possible to get even the mildest [firearms] restrictions through Congress, and we should be ashamed of that."
I'm old enough to remember when the Sears Christmas catalog was filled with firearms a person could buy through the mail. The firearms didn't need to go through a federally licensed firearms dealer because there was no such thing as a licensed dealer. There was no Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. There were no background checks or waiting periods. There were no age limits. Nearly every little hardware store sold guns and ammo that a person could buy, no questions asked.
I'm old enough to remember when many public schools had shooting teams. Many Scout groups also had them.
How is that school shootings were almost unheard of when there was no age limit to buy guns, no licensing of gun dealers, and no such thing as a background check or waiting period? Could the problem be people and not guns, which, after all, are inanimate objects? Do knives compel us to stab? Do baseball bats compel us to bludgeon? Do pills compel us to poison?
But this gets us into an area that many people, especially on the left of the political spectrum, don't want to get into because they don't like pointing fingers – unless those fingers are pointed at the overwhelming majority of peaceful sportsmen whose hobby they detest.
I live in suburban Chicago. Within five miles of my house there are at least eight gun stores and three shooting ranges. The last firearms-related murder in my town occurred in 2001. Why does my little hometown, filled with gun stores and shooting ranges, go decades at a time with no firearms-related murders?
There are no gun stores or shooting ranges in Chicago, yet parts of the city are a shooting gallery. Notice I said parts. Some parts of the city are as safe as any place else. The laws against shooting and killing people apply equally and everywhere in Chicago. The laws regarding possession of firearms apply equally and everywhere. Why are some parts of Chicago dangerous and others safe?
The Heartland Institute is based in Chicago. President Obama lived in Chicago. The Mayor of Chicago used to be on Obama's chief of staff. Surely someone in Chicago could send this article to the president. I'd love for him to answer my questions and respond to my refutation of his laughable claim that "We're the only developed country on Earth" where mass shootings happen.

Harran al-'Awamid (Arabic: حران العواميد) is a town in southern Syria, administratively part of the Rif Dimashq Governorate, located southeast of Damascus. It is situated on a plain that stretches to the marshes of Bahrat al-Qibliyah ("South Lake," the source of the Barada River) along the boundary of the fertile Ghouta region to the west to the north of the Hauran.[2] Nearby localities include al-Kafrin and Judaydat al-Khas to the south, al-Atibah to the northeast, al-Abbadeh and al-Qisa to the north, al-Ahmadiyah to the northwest, Sakka to the west and Ghasulah and al-Ghizlaniyah to the southwest.
According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Harran al-'Awamid had a population of 12,117 in the 2004 census. It is the administrative center and the most populous locality of the Harran al-'Awamid nahiyah ("subdistrict") which consisted of four localities with a collective population of 22,853 in 2004.[1] The town was well known for its mudbrick architecture and three basalt columns of an ancient Roman temple, hence the name Harran al-'Awamid ("Harran of the Columns.") The columns themselves shoot out of the roof of a mudbrick building, which, along with many of the town's houses, have occupied the ruins of the temple.[2][3]
Under Ottoman rule in the late 19th century, Harran al-Awamid was visited by archaeologist William McLure Thomson, who asserted that it was the Haran mentioned in the Bible. He noted that the plantation of Bahrat al-Qibliyah could be seen from the roof of the village's mosque. The area was inhabited by Bedouins (nomads) and semi-nomadic Arabs.[4]
Roman temple
Because the ruins of the Roman temple, which likely dates to the reign of Emperor Phillip the Arab (244-49 CE), have become entangled with Harran al-Awamid's mudbrick houses, the plan of the temple could not be ascertained. However, it has been determined that the structure was built on a high podium as indicated by the columns' elevation and location which also suggests that they marked the temple's northwestern corner.[5] The columns have a height of roughly twelve feet and a width of six feet.[6] They are constructed in the Ionic style from black basalt stone with ornately carved capitals,[5] although one of the column's capitals had fallen off. The columns consisted of either six or seven parts that are cracked and worn out.[6] The style of the capitals is similar to that of the columns of ancient Roman temples in the Hauran region, being based upon the acanthus. However, those at Harran al-Awamid were "more boldly drawn and are wrought in more massive style, a little coarser, perhaps..."[5]

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday asked people to end the controversy over the World Culture Festival being organised by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Yamuna banks from 11 March.
The 3-day event, organised by Sri Sri's Art of Living foundation had run into controversy after it emerged that the AOL had violated several norms while potentially damaging the bio-diversity of the area. Sri Sri denied all the allegations.
Kejriwal said, "Now that NGT has given its verdict, all politics n controversies around AOL event shud be put to rest. Its a huge cultural event wherein people from 155 countries are coming. Delhi welcomes all guests. (sic)"
Both the central government and the Delhi government came for severe criticism for tacitly supporting the event even at the cost of potential damage to the environment and hurting farmers' interests.
While the central government received flak for allegedly indulging in a quid-pro-quo exercise, the Delhi's AAP government was criticised for its silence allegedly keeping the Punjab assembly polls in mind.
Many on social media felt that it was expected for the BJP government to help Sri Sri because of his continuous support to the saffron party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While others accused the AAP of political opportunism given that self-proclaimed babas and gurus play crucial role in influencing the voters' decision in Punjab.

Air conditioners need tuneups much like cars do. Just as you would tune up your car before a long road trip, you should tune up your air conditioning system before the long summer months, especially in Orange County.
If your Air Conditioner needs repair, or if you need to install a new one, call (844) 473-7849 to book a SERVIZ HVAC Repair Pro. Same day bookings available.
Dirty coils, blocked condensers, inadequate refrigerant - all of these should be checked to make sure your air conditioner is working at peak efficiency. Air conditioners quite often go out at the time they are needed most, usually because they are working harder to produce the same level of comfort. An inefficient air conditioner, however, can be made to work like new again with a little preventive maintenance. That way small mechanical problems can be caught early, before they become expensive to fix.
Signs Your Air Conditioner Has Lost Efficiency
Dirty Evaporator Coils. Dust, debris, rust, and dirt will coat the evaporator coils if they aren't cleaned regularly. Dirty coils can't transfer heat as efficiently, so the air conditioner has to work harder to produce the same level of home comfort. Over time, this inefficiency can drive up your utility bills.
Inadequate Refrigerant. Usually, a leak is to blame for low refrigerant levels. However, a quick refrigerant recharge can keep your unit operating at peak efficiency.
Leaky Ducts. Leaking ducts can reduce your unit's efficiency dramatically. Even if your unit is new, leaking ducts can make it difficult for your a/c to deliver the home comfort you expect. To get the most out of your air conditioner, make sure your ducts are well insulated.
Dirty Filters. Dirty or clogged air filters can become a source of air pollution in addition to making your air conditioner work harder. The harder your air handler has to work to push air through a clogged filter, the more energy it has to consume, which increases your energy bills. Besides the increased energy consumption, the air conditioner also runs the risk of overheating when the filters are clogged or dirty.
Air conditioners tend to go out when you need them most. Make sure you're ready for summer by booking a SERVIZ HVAC Repair Pro at (844) 473-7849.

Our day in Grenada got off to a bumpy start, but it turned out to be one of the best days of our vacation. First, at 4:30am, there was an announcement from the ship's bridge into our stateroom cabins that there was a medical emergency on board. The medical crew was searching for blood donors of a particular blood type. We later found out that the lady in need had a whole bunch of people arrive to donate blood and she was in stable condition when she was transported to the hospital once we reached Grenada. These scary situations do happen from time to time upon a cruise ship, but it is great to know how well the staff handles these types of situations!
It was difficult getting back to sleep, but we had to wake up at 6:30am anyway. We had a snorkeling excursion planned at Grand Anse beach to see the underwater sculptures. These original plans didn't quite go our way…
We lined up at 8:30am at the pier with a large group for our catamaran snorkel tour to Grand Anse beach. We watched as a catamaran slowly approached us; then, it turned around and started to head in the opposite direction. Everyone in our group was very confused. The tour operator let us know that the boat lost its oil filter and could hopefully be repaired quickly. As it turned out, this was a greater problem than they had anticipated so the entire tour was cancelled. We were really disappointed and didn't know what to do at first. We went back to the ship to drop off our beach towels, grabbed the DSLR camera, and decided that we would walk around and shop for some spices.
Grand Anse Beach, where we were supposed to snorkel, off in the distance
Fort George, St. Georges, Grenada
After walking through the little mall of souvenirs at the cruise port, we saw a sign that said "Historical" and thought that sounded intriguing. Directly in front of us was a long tunnel, and to the right of the tunnel were steps going up to Fort George. We decided to walk up the steps to Fort George first, and walk through the tunnel to the historical part of the town afterwards. I'm really happy that we made that decision or else our day may not have unfolded the same way.
As we walked up the steps to the top of the hill where the Fort was located, we found out that people could go inside the fort by paying a $5 entrance fee. We thought that the grounds around the outside of Fort George would be fun to explore, and the view of the island from this spot was pretty spectacular. So, we didn't go inside the fort but there was that option. There were many tropical plants and flowers growing all around, and the view of the town and ocean down below was very beautiful.
We continued to walk around the perimeter of the grounds along a small road that circled Fort George:
While we were walking, a taxi van slowly approached us. The taxi driver inside asked if we wanted to take a tour around the island, including the waterfall and the lake. Two ladies were already inside the van. I would be lying if I said that we both weren't sure at first. I made the mistake of not entirely consulting with Justin first…the conversation basically went like this:
Lauren: Do you want to take this tour?
Justin: I don't know, should we?
Lauren: What do you think?
Justin: I'm not sure….
Lauren: Yes, let's go! *already halfway around the van and ready to jump in*
We are greeted by two lovely women from England – a mother and her daughter-in-law, as we discovered. Our driver's name was Anthony. Justin seemed uneasy when we jumped into the back of the van, but I was really excited for an adventure. We really had no idea where he would be taking us other than "around the island" and maybe to a waterfall or a lake. But, I was incredibly excited to see where we would end up!
Driving Around Grenada
A new stadium that was recently built by China for Grenada
We discussed a price with Anthony for the island tour up front and came to an agreement on $20/pp. It is always a good idea to agree on a price ahead of time because otherwise, you never know what you might end up being charged!
Anthony was a fantastic tour guide. I felt as though we were offered not only an amazing tour of the natural beauty of the island, but a small glimpse into the life of a Grenadian. As we drove along and navigated through the steep hills and winding roads, Anthony told us about the region itself and what it was like to live in Grenada, too. He was willing to answer any questions that we had about anything that came up in conversation. As we approached each location, Anthony continually let us know that we should never feel pressured to buy anything unless we really wanted to, and this made us feel very comfortable.
Recreation Center/Fruit Stand?
It seemed like Anthony knew everyone on the island. I am sure that Grenada has a very close-knit community and it seems like the type of place where everyone knows everyone else. First, we stopped briefly at a fruit stand where a man approached the van with some small red fruits that looked like pears.
As it turned out, it was called a French Cashew Fruit. It seems that the cashew nut is actually a seed that grows from the base of the cashew fruit! We had both never seen a cashew fruit before.
French Cashew Fruit
We were each given our own cashew fruit to try. The texture was a bit like a pear, but the taste was completely different! It tasted almost dry, and very faintly nutty. Anthony said that most people make beverages or ice cream out of this fruit. I could tell that not many people would eat this fruit raw as it wasn't bad tasting, but it wasn't exactly refreshing as you would expect from a juicy piece of fruit. We were encouraged to throw the cashew fruit core (that had a large seed inside) into the trees as a new plant may eventually grow from it.
A Spice Demonstration
John had an amazing spice demonstration for us!
On our first stop (where we actually got out of the vehicle), we reached a small shop that specialized in selling spices from the island. Grenada is known as the "Spice Island" as so many fresh spices grow there in abundance. The main souvenirs you can bring back from the island are all of the wonderful spices – nutmeg, cocoa, cinnamon, turmeric, and even vanilla! A man who worked at the shop, John, gave us a short demonstration of the various spices that grow in Grenada and how the spices are used. We got to taste many of the products that were available that were fairly unique to the island!
The most popular spice grown in Grenada is nutmeg. We were shown the nutmeg fruit that grows on trees in Grenada. Inside the fruit, we have the mace (the red part around the nutmeg) that is considered to be the more expensive part, and the nutmeg seed that is ground up to make the nutmeg spice. In Grenada, they use the fruit, mace, and seed in various ways. Most obviously, nutmeg is used in cooking and baking. They also sold nutmeg syrup (very sweet, like honey, could be used on pancakes!), nutmeg extract, dried mace for cooking, nutmeg jam (the fruit and seed used here), nutmeg moisturizing cream, nutmeg spray, and nutmeg oil (can help digestive and nervous system). With so much nutmeg growing everywhere on the island, Grenadians have been very inventive by using this fruit/spice in so many different ways!
Cocoa…can you believe this is what chocolate comes from?
Yes, that slimy stuff coming out of that fruit, believe it or not, is cocoa! It looked very different than chocolate or cocoa that we are used to seeing and eating. The cocoa fruit had this white, gooey pulp in the middle that are home to cocoa seeds. These seeds are dried and turn darker while they dry out on large surfaces in the natural sunlight. Only then do they appear like the cocoa that we are used to seeing!
We were also able to smell delicious extracts that are produced in Grenada. The vanilla one smelled amazing…very different from the vanilla that I am used to purchasing and cooking with. We ended up buying a whole bunch of spices for ourselves and as gifts, including spice necklaces. Spice necklaces are one of the most popular items that you can purchase in Grenada – dried spices along with some beads that are connected to form a necklace. The spice necklaces aren't meant to be worn (unless you want to smell really delicious!), but they are meant to be hung up in your kitchen, or placed in a drawer like a natural air freshener. Every six months, you can dunk the spice necklace into a bowl of water and it rejuvenates and replenishes the yummy, spicy scent of the necklace!
We also purchased a five-pack of extracts in small bottles – vanilla, pear, banana, pineapple, and almond extract. We also bought some cocoa balls. They are very popular in Grenada as well, and can be used in cooking or to make hot chocolate.
I would say that Grenada is a paradise for anyone who loves to cook – you can purchase very fresh spices here of many varieties, including some things that would be difficult to find at home (or very expensive!). All of the spices are very reasonably priced. You should have no problem bringing home spices or spice necklaces in your checked luggage. Also please note: when you get back to your hotel room/cruise ship, take the spice necklaces out of the plastic bag. Hang them up somewhere where they are properly ventilated, otherwise they will go moldy in the plastic bag as the necklaces are made of fresh spices. Ideally, on your way home, store them in a paper bag in your luggage. They should be fine for a few hours.
If you get the opportunity, go for a spice tour or demonstration while you are in Grenada. This definitely enriched our experience and knowledge of some main products that are exported from the island. Also, if you can manage to buy your spices outside of the main tourist area, you will likely have a better variety and it will be cheaper for you to purchase them.
The small spice shop was up on a hill (my apologies, I do not know the name of the actual shop!) and it offered an amazing view from the back of the store. We were able to walk outside on the balcony and admire this beautiful place.
When we got back in the van and drove a little way down the street, Anthony stopped by a nutmeg tree growing at the side of the road. He got out to fetch us some nutmeg that had fallen to the ground. In Grenada, no one is allowed to pick the nutmeg fruit from the trees that grow naturally on public property; however, people are allowed to pick the fruit or seeds off the ground once they have fallen down.
Nutmeg growing everywhere!
The nutmeg mace/seed Anthony gathered for us
Have you ever gone on a spice tour or spice demonstration on your travels before? Have you seen how a primary exported food item was collected, harvested, or prepared in another country?

American Means Global at Split-Rail
Owner Zoe Schor crosses borders at her Humboldt Park restaurant—but always comes back home.
"American, to me, means stepping out of the United States for influence, flavor, spices, technique," says Zoe Schor, the 34-year-old owner of the soon-to-open Humboldt Park spot Split-Rail.
Take, for instance, Schor's homage to the stuffed baked potato, which she renders as a pasta dish: gnocchi mixed with crème fraîche, aged cheddar, scallions, bacon, onions, garlic, and—to anchor it in the American vernacular—a sprinkling of crumbled deep-fried potato skins.

A's lose top prospect to Tommy John surgery
MINNEAPOLIS — Prized pitching prospect Michael Ynoa is scheduled to have right elbow surgery Aug. 24 and the A's anticipate he will need reconstruction of his ulnar collateral ligament.
That procedure, typically referred to as Tommy John surgery, likely would sideline Ynoa anywhere from 12 to 18 months.
Though the A's have lost numerous players to injury on their big league roster, this development has big ramifications for the future.
The A's gave Ynoa, 18, a $4.25 million bonus when they signed him out of the Dominican Republic in July 2008. He was just 16 but already stood 6-foot-7 and had a fastball in the mid 90s.
The bonus is the highest a major league team has given an international amateur not from Cuba.
The A's envision a future ace, but Ynoa has been plagued with elbow problems since last season. He was shut down after just three starts in the Arizona Rookie League this season.
He'll have surgery performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum.
A's assistant general manager David Forst said the extent of the surgery will depend on what Yocum finds but added the A's "anticipate" it being a UCL reconstruction.
"It's a disappointing setback, but it's an issue that everyone is anxious to resolve," GM Billy Beane said in a text.
Veteran right-hander Ben Sheets underwent UCL reconstruction on Monday, but fellow A's pitchers Fautino De Los Santos, Joey Devine, Dan Giese, John Meloan and Josh Outman all have had Tommy John surgery since 2008.
Triple-A right-hander Tyson Ross has been sidelined recently with a strained UCL. He'll be out of Triple-A Sacramento's rotation for about four weeks, but Forst said an MRI showed no tear in the ligament.
Forst said an MRI taken on the last homestand showed Rosales had a long-standing stress fracture that he was unaware of. He'd been playing with pain off and on for more than a year.

Hypnosis opens us to a positive, peaceful, safe space where shifts and changes can open us to a more positive Future experience. To release or lose weight first must start with a new mindset that will be a partner in achieving your goal. This can involve shifting beliefs about eating, or underlying beliefs about self-worth and lift YOU as a priority. YOU matter!
How does changing beliefs about food help? Our thoughts are the main driver for our actions or IN-action. How did you put on that excess weight? Probably without thinking about the consequences. It satisfied a need or craving IN THE MOMENT and you didn't consider the long-term ramifications.
When we are moving through life, most of us are reactive to our basic needs from moment to moment. We respond to others in loving or negative ways based on our filter of beliefs that tell us to defend and protect or reach out and give.
Does the excess weight protect you from exposing deep wounds you want to pretend don't exist within? Or is the excess weight just a result of poor eating habits that you developed from a very early age.
We could analyze for years, but the beauty of hypnosis is that you don't have to go way back to find a successful road to weight loss. If those driving thoughts are still actively engaged in managing your actions, then they are right on the surface and available to redirect in ways that will support a NEW path or journey forward.
Hypnosis is normally not the first option my clients have considered for weight release. They usually have tried lots of diets and many weight loss programs. Most of them are not sustainable and doomed to fail because they do not address the underlying CAUSE of your weight gain.
Hypnosis DOES directly work with those beliefs that you developed while putting on weight to shift them so they can now support a successful program of weight release.
You've tried everything else. If you are still unsatisfied with your outward appearance and want to FEEL better on the inside, why not give this approach a chance. I'd be happy to discuss my approach to weight release and then you can decide whether that resonates with you.

We have begun post articles on the Religion and Media Interest Group's Facebook page that our membership may find interesting. These posts vary in nature for several reasons. First, we hope that the media coverage of religion and religious groups can be used as examples for those teaching Religion and Media. Second, we hope that the curiosity of our membership may result in posing research questions that can be further current understandings of interactions between media and religion. Finally, the diversity of the news coverage posted is meant to be inclusive and create opportunity for intellectual consideration of media and religion.
In addition to posting about Pope Francis' trip to the United States, we are posting about less frequently covered events. These events include violence at times. For example, the attack of a Catholic mission in Bangladesh. Other times, the posts discuss social trends about the growth of minority faiths in the United States. While some articles may exemplify the emergence of religious coverage in sports news, others may pose philosophical questions about the challenges of religion in contemporary society.
We invite you to like our Facebook page to join in on the discussion!

News in Brief: A Washington Roundup
SLC Extends Application Window For E-Rate
Schools and libraries applying for federal discounts on telecommunications have received a precious gift of time.
The Schools and Libraries Corp., which runs the "E-rate" program, has extended to 100 days the interval during which any application for the second year of education-rate discounts will be accepted on an equal basis with the others.
The filing window was originally 80 days, starting Dec. 1. Now the window will close March 11.
None of the applications that missed the 75-day filing window for the program's first year were awarded discounts, according to the SLC.
The extension is meant to allow schools and libraries more planning time and will accommodate those applicants that have not yet been notified of their discounts for the first round.

Department Releases School Reform Planning Guide
A new book from the Department of Education is designed to help school districts with large numbers of low-achieving, high-poverty students plan schoolwide reform programs.
The Idea Book on Planning: Implementing Schoolwide Programs, Volume I, which focuses on program planning and combining resources, contains examples from schools that have designed comprehensive programs to serve all students instead of pulling struggling students from regular classrooms for separate remedial instruction.
The 178-page book also lists print, video, and Internet resources for planners of schoolwide programs.
Free copies can be ordered through the Education Department's World Wide Web site: www.ed.gov, or by calling (877) 433-7827. A second volume in the schoolwide series is expected to be ready later this year.

Plan Seeks To Reduce Violence Against Children
President Clinton has launched an effort to reduce the violence that affects nearly 3 million American children each year.
The plan, the Children Exposed to Violence Initiative, calls for changing federal law to allow courts to convict defendants of murder in the death of a child without proving the defendants' intent and to extend their jail terms.
It also recommends enacting other proposals to improve the way courts treat child victims and witnesses, and bolstering local prevention and intervention programs with federal support.
The initiative was launched Dec. 29 with an announcement that the Department of Justice would award $10 million in "Safe Start" grants to help up to 12 cities reduce the impact of violence on young children.
The agency will spend about $12 million on training videos, manuals, and other guides for law and court officers. In addition, the White House will hold a summit in May on children and violence.
In 1996, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 3 million children under 18 were victims of abuse or maltreatment. According to the Justice Department, the bulk of serious crimes such as murder, rape, and robbery are committed against victims 18 to 21 years old.
