On October 9 the International Roerich Memorial Trust (IRMT) in Naggar in the Western Himalayas saw festivities marking the birth anniversary of Nicholas Roerich, outstanding Russian artist, historian, philosopher, and traveler.
The celebrations traditionally started with the prayer for peace – shanti puja – held next to the memorial stone set up on the place of Nicholas Roerich cremation (samadhi). Adults and children from Naggar and local villages, numerous guests from India and abroad gathered under the canopy of lindens planted here by the remarkable Russian family.
The ceremony of hoisting Roerich's Peace Banner, Russian and Indian flags took place near the house-cum-museum on the green terrace facing the Kullu valley. The honour was granted to Naggar's oldest citizen, seventy nine year old Sohan Kaistha, who once met Svyatoslav Roerich, and nine year old Pratharn together with seven year old Jayanvi, who study at the Elena Roerich Art College. "Through this symbolic act we want to uphold continuity in generations of Naggar citizens in their commitment to preserve this god blessed place equally dear to Russians and Indians", said Om Chandra Handa, universally acknowledged scientist who was appointed as a new IRMT director this September.
H.E. Mr Alexander Kadakin, Ambassador of Russia in India, sent a welcome address to the participants of the celebrations, noting that this year has a special meaning to the history of the estate: seventy years ago in May 1942 Jawaharlal Nehru and his daughter Indira visited Roerich in Naggar. They discussed the necessity to set up an Association of Friendship between the two nations. "Thus the Roerich estate in Naggar became the cradle of Russian-Indian friendship and a spiritual bridge that unites peoples of our two great nations," emphasized the message.
This year marks yet another notable date, the 110th birth anniversary of George Roerich, a renowned orientalist, linguist, ethnographer, and archeologist, who for almost ten years headed the Urusvati Institute of Himalayan Studies established by the Roerichs here in 1928. "It is time to revive Urusvati", appealed Alexander Kadakin. "Recent months have seen a great deal of laborious activities by Russian and Indian experts supported by the Government of Himachal Pradesh aimed at transforming the Roerich estate into a genuine centre of spirituality, enlightenment and science".
Students of the Roerich Art School under the IRMT presented a cultural programme, featuring classical music compositions and dances as well as Kullu folk songs. The audience warmly greeted young artists with enthusiastic applauses.
"It is heartening that the Russian-Indian hearth of culture established twenty years ago still thrives transforming into a world-class museum complex", stressed Sergey Karmalito, senior counselor of the Russian Embassy. "The Russian side along with Indian friends will actively support this noble initiative".
The festivities culminated in the gracious ceremony of inaugurating an exhibition by Indian artists Ganesh Bodh and Ambika Katharia who get their inspiration from the creative legacy of Nicholas Roerich.

- Around The World In 80 Beers Episode 182: Sail & Anchor Pale Ale
Pours a clear mid-golden colour with a small head. A lot of carbonation visible in the glass.
First Sip: Strong lemon citrus flavours, with a mild malt. Medium hops bitterness all over the tongue, which lingers long after the swallow. Medium mouth feel, with a moderate carbonation tingle on the tongue.
This is very nice. Not too light, not too bitter. The right amount of hops and carbonation. This is one to drink at a BBQ on a mild spring day. It certainly does not need a hot day to appreciate it. I'd happily get well refreshed on a six-pack for this brew.

I prefer Kokanee or Guinness. :-D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokanee_beer
I haven't seen that beer, but I will drink it if I find it. :) When I started The Quest I made a rule that I would try and review All The Beers, even ones I know are bad.
Kokanee is BC mountain brew. Guinness is Irish/British?
Guinness is often contract brewed, that brand is Very Much "big beer".
The closer to Dublin, the better the Guinness.
I love it.
Guinness is a yummy beer. It's Irish, but brewed under licence. I can buy it here but it's brewed in Melbourne.
You are Australian? Cool. I love Australia. <3 Yeah, Kokanee is a Canadian beer. :-D
I'll keep an eye out for it here on the rare chance that a case or two escapes the Ozzie homeland :)
I hadn't realized that I was missing these entries. It's good to see one again.
ETA: Apparently you have been putting them up all along; I guess it just feels to me as though they've been infrequent.

The number of foreclosures in the US hit 1.65 million in the first half. That is an increase of 8% from the same period last year, and a 5% decrease from the previous six months, according to RealtyTrac.
The report also shows that 1.28 percent of all U.S. housing units (one in 78) received at least one foreclosure filing in the first half of the year.There is a silver lining. "June numbers improved modestly, " according to the analysis. "Foreclosure filings were reported on 313,841 U.S. properties in June, a decrease of nearly 3 percent from the previous month and a decrease of nearly 7 percent from June 2009. June was the sixteenth straight month where the total number of properties with foreclosure filings exceeded 300,000."
That hope many be short-lived. Tax credits available for home purchases ended in April which means that demand for distressed inventory will likely fall.
Foreclosure filings were reported on 895,521 U.S. properties during the second quarter, a decrease of nearly 4 percent from the previous quarter and an increase of less than 1 percent from the second quarter of 2009. "The second quarter was a tale of two trends," said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. "The pace of properties entering foreclosure slowed as lenders pre-empted or delayed foreclosure proceedings on delinquent properties with more aggressive short sale and loan modification initiatives. Meanwhile, the pace of properties completing the foreclosure process through bank repossession quickened as lenders cleared out a backlog of distressed inventory delayed by foreclosure prevention efforts in 2009."
The news seems to go hand in hand with other data about the second quarter and early July. The economy probably slowed considerably in the April though June period. And, consumer sentiment is dropping, according to recent data from Gallup and Bloomberg. People who might have been home buyers have abandoned the market, once again pushing down demand that might give the housing market some relief.

Jesper Jinx and the Mouse Mayhem
Jesper Jinx is eleven, and probably the unluckiest person in all of Puffington Hill. Everything he touches seems to end up in sweet disaster. Hence his nickname 'Jinx'.
This time around, it is Puffington Hill itself that appears to be jinxed. The school canteen gets shut down and children are forced to eat wild clover flowers for lunch. Horrible hairy acorns fall from the sky, targeting black cats and squirrels. An eyewitness even claims to have seen a flying antique piano.
Something utterly peculiar is going on. And it is up to you, Dear Reader, to help Jesper figure out who's responsible for these seemingly unrelated incidents. Could it be Jesper himself? Or Lenny and Benny, the WARRIOR MOUSE brothers?
Or even you yourself, the unsuspecting Book Gobbler?

Un Ballo in Maschera, Sydney Opera House, Wed 19th March 2008
Conductor: Andrea Licata; Director: John Cox.
King - Dennis O'Neill
Anckestroem - Michael Lewis
Oscar - Loren Gore
Ulrica - Bernadette Cullen
Amelia - Nicole Youl
Count Horn - Richard Alexander
Count Ribbing - Richard Anderson
Dear Colleagues,
Another mid-season update on this wonderful opera production. We had a new Oscar with Loren Gore who is also singing Fiakamilli in Arabella at the moment. The pants role of Oscar shows off her considerable talents to better effect as she takes the scene both dramatically and vocally on three occasions in Masked Ball. Fiakamilli is a small but important role involving largely high coloratura 'punctuation' in a noisy chorus. It may be a big song but not a 'big sing'. Oscar is a big sing, involving arias, chorus work and recitative. Ms Gore has a large voice with an even production up to a ringing top. I hope we hear much more of her.
Nicole Youl was in fine voice as was Michael Lewis. Dennis O'Neill's command of the role of Gustavus is supreme. A retired baritone I know called the performance a veritable singing lesson. It is also hard to imagine a better witch than Bernadette Cullen who was in fine form, fair raising the roof with her prophesies and soothsaying.
Richard Alexander and Richard Anderson are the two basso conspirators who start and finish the action of this grizzly opera. They ceremoniously light and extinguish the old footlights as in another era. Along with the chorus they are unfailingly professional both vocally and dramatically. Andrea Licata and his orchestra received yet another rapturous ovation.
The production has much going for it and is an excellent foil for this near-perfect opera. The king's writing desk is covered with a large Persian rug which looks rather odd in the regal apartments. The conspirators' names are drawn out of a drawer, not an urn as stated in the libretto. The king wears a sailor's suit to the fortune teller, not the attire of a fisherman as called for by the score. But these are small details in an otherwise charming and original production.

^ The Naval Battle of Gravelines
Image Courtesy of Nicholas Hillard's Painting: Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada
Retrieved From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada
Global Ascendance via Naval Dominance
Wisdom, they say, is timeless. Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1890 penned down one such classic of imperishable permanence. Not many know of it. Perhaps because the towering insights it depicts limit its audience to a few shrewd men.
Be as it may, the book goes around by the name of The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783. Captain Mahan was a lecturer in naval history and the president of the United States Naval War College.
Numerous strategists regard this account of naval history as revolutionary, to the point of being the single most influential book in naval strategy. After all, it is a blueprint on the key role of naval strength in building and maintaining a country's economic and political might.
And there is no dearth of those who think the adoption of the policies outlined in the book was one reason for the naval arms race that eventually culminated in the First World War (WWI). That influential!
Just to put things in perspective, oceans cover about 71% of the earth surface. The ocean can therefore be a great pathway to penetrate to the remotest corners of the globe for commerce or for war. Provided you have robust means to travel on water and guard your voyage routes.
In the book, Captain Mahan argues how Great Britain's economic, military, and political clout was the direct consequence of her naval prowess between 1600 and 1783. This was also the time when the naval mettle of Britain's European rivals was steadily tumbling.
Remember how a change of wind direction helped the English put down the vigor of Spain's Invincible Armada in 1588 at the coast of Gravelines? To which King Philip II of Spain famously remarked I sent you out to war with men, not with the wind and waves.
Seems, Mother Nature herself was driving the sails of English warships and propelling the upswing of the English star. Not to belittle English valor, for Spain was the dominant global power of the day. Stubborn persistence against all odds will always be the hallmark of winners.
The point is, Britain's ascent to global preeminence began in the seventeenth century, which is precisely the starting point for the era portrayed in Captain Mahan's book.
Britain then snatched away France's overseas colonies including Canada in the mid-eighteenth century. This was so despite the French army being the largest and best-trained institution of the time.
Why? Because Britain employed the world's best navy, one that could quickly and conveniently provision its army anywhere on the globe. As Napoleon Bonaparte aptly put it, an army marches on its stomach. Too bad, the British acted on the tenet long before the French ruler worded it.
Now, Britain is an island and must have felt the need to establish a strong navy and commercial fleet from a very early time. Necessity truly is the mother of invention. And innovation, of course.
Speaking of earlier times, ancient times, naval power has been the definitive measure of an empire's global economic-political hegemony ever since the Greeks stemmed the rising tide of Persian belligerence at the naval battle of Salamis in 480 B.C.
Coming to aircraft carriers, Russian navy's flagship vessel, the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will reach Syrian shores by January 2017. The Russians clearly want to fight U.S. influence in the Mediterranean reinforced by the U.S. carriers USS Truman and USS Eisenhower.
Need any more proof on the immortality of wisdom and the perpetual relevance of the navy? And the towering importance of aircraft carriers in the geopolitics of today?
Twentieth Century & the Advent of the Aircraft Carrier
While Germany flooded its navy with great many resources before and during WWI, for reasons best known to her then rulers, she chose to use the navy sparingly in the war.
By doing so, she lost a titanic opportunity. For, the Germans had come to within a whisker of snatching global naval supremacy from the British. Her submarine force more than compensated the ineffectiveness of her surface naval force.
Unsurprisingly, Britain and her rising ally, the United States, made it a point to diligently confiscate all of Germany's potent fleet after the war ended in 1919.
If you want peace, prepare for war. So goes an old adage. The implication is, your strength acts as a deterrent for your opponent who then avoids taking up arms against you.
This holds good till you reach a certain point up to which mutual respect prevents confrontation. Thereafter, the strategy produces diminishing returns as the great build up of weapons and forces on both sides makes war inevitable. The very basis of the old adage then stands negated.
With a view to restrict a naval arms race, one that precipitated WW I in part, major powers flocked in Washington D.C. in 1921 for the Washington Naval Conference. The outcome was the establishment of caps on naval resources.
Back then, Japan was on the winning side. She accepted limits just below Britain and the U.S. only to renege later. The U.S. and Britain largely adhered to the limits for most of the fifteen years after the conference.
Things changed in the late 1930s when a war on a global scale became a fait accompli, it was only a matter of time. The U.S. reinforced its naval strength with aircraft carriers. Britain and the U.S. each had seven carriers. Japan had ten. Surprisingly, Germany and Italy had none.
For all his brilliance (let's give the devil his due!), it is a mystery as to why the genius of Adolf Hitler did not invest in aircraft carriers. Perhaps, a strategic miscalculation. Perhaps, the oversight of a great mind.
Britain and the U.S. clearly preferred aircraft carriers over conventional battleships. Japan invested in both. Very soon however the aircraft carrier was to emerge as the new instrument of naval predominance.
American and British foresight yielded rich dividends during WW II. The war did not start on an optimistic note for British carriers though. A German naval battleship and submarine sunk one each of Britain's carriers while carrier-based Japanese aircrafts drowned another.
Then at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched an aerial assault from six aircraft carriers. No navy had employed six carriers before and none did later. Seems the Axis Powers were running away with it. It was then that the Allies proved their resilient valor.
Britain's aircraft carriers proved instrumental in safeguarding naval supply lines in the Atlantic and the Arctic. They also played a crucial role in frustrating the unsinkable German battleship Bismarck to a slow trot and successfully destroying six Italian battleship at Taranto Harbor.
Just five months after and despite the massacre at Pearl Harbor, the U.S. held back the Japanese at the famous Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. This was the first naval battle fought exclusively between aircrafts launched from rival carriers.
Less than a month later, U.S. fighter planes from three aircraft carriers sunk four Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway. When your enemy is dead, bury him. The U.S. did so at the Battle of the Philippine Sea, handing down the Japanese navy a resoundingly decisive defeat.
And when her carrier-launched aircrafts destroyed the mega Japanese warships Musashi and Yamato respectively in 1944 and 1945, the battleship surrendered its long-held crown to the aircraft carrier.
Victories at the battles of Coral Sea and Midway marked the naval ascendency of the U.S. Her rivals were crippled and war losses had reduced her allies to badly mauled victors.
Aircraft carriers rendered valuable services during the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the U.S.' global war on terror. One spectacular example of the carrier's utility came in the Falklands War that Britain won at great distance from its shores.
It was only in 1967 that the Soviets commissioned their first aircraft carrier, a helicopter carrier rather, the Moskva. And most of the carriers of the USSR and, later, Russia were aircraft carrying cruisers, not genuine aircraft carriers in the true sense of the term.
Strategic Importance
With the capacity to provide a floating base to fighter jets and helicopters, aircraft carriers empower their master nation to place its air force in close proximity to an area of its interest that is far, far away from its territorial boundaries without establishing airbases in or around the region.
Such point of interest can be a warzone or a strategically or economically important spot. It costs a fortune to build airbases and guard them against omnipresent threats. Aircraft carriers too come at exorbitant price tags, but much less so.
Through all this, a country can extend its military muscle across the globe. In the quicksand-like arena of international politics where they fight for every inch of influence with a ferocity that would shame a tiger shark, such extension of domination comes highly prized.
Two heads are usually better than one. By combining the best of naval power and air force, aircraft carriers establish a fantastic and, perhaps, singular synergy.
Officially, the U.S. operates ten aircraft carriers, all nuclear powered and called supercarriers. But there are nineteen U.S. warships you can tag as aircraft carriers, the other nine being amphibious assault ships or helicopter carriers.
Now, the deck space of the ten supercarriers is over twice that of the deck space of all other carriers with other navies around the world. An important reason for why the U.S. is a superpower.
Many observers are however not very convinced. They point to the enormous cost of aircraft carriers. The USS Gerald Ford, for example, will cost over $13 billion when it is deployed. The vessel is the most advanced aircraft carrier of the day though.
Their point is, is the cost justified when nations such as China are developing anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) with a formidable 950 nautical mile range? And when the landscape of battlegrounds is fast changing – wars of the old kind are rarely fought these days.
Speaking of cost, aircraft carriers are less expensive than airbases. And with a life span of fifty years they provide windfall returns on investment by lending mammoth influence in international politics.
Tensions are fairly commonplace in the volatile vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz. This is the most important strategic choke point in the world because 20% of the world's petroleum passes through here. Our present lifestyles make oil an essential commodity.
Placing an aircraft carrier in the vicinity can defuse tensions merely on account of the dread these mega warships inspire. You don't even need to actually strike. What of the merits gained by preventing an escalation of conflict without even firing a shot? Isn't that economical and relevant?
Coming to the issue of anti aircraft carrier missiles, there were many such Soviet-made weapons and submarines touted as aircraft-carrier-killers. Innovation helped nullify these hazards. The same will repeat.
Even otherwise, aircraft carriers of today are least vulnerable to attacks among military vessels of comparable size and capacity. Something that has earned them the sobriquet: powerhouse of the fleet.
An example will explain the situation better. Despite a strong desire to do so, Israel could not bomb the apparently-civilian nuclear facilities of Iran in the first decade of the 21st century. The way it had wrecked Iraq's Osirak Reactor back in 1981.
Why? Because, her fighter jets did not have sufficient range to bomb Iran and come back, Iran being located further east of Iraq. And, because Israel does not possess aircraft carriers.
Contrast this with what Britain did in the Falklands War of 1982. She trounced Argentina under the latter's very nose, some 13,000 km from English shores. Why? Because, the British deployed aircraft carriers.
Britain Won the Falklands War Against Argentina some 8,000 Miles Away from English Shores & Very Close of Argentine Territory
This, next example may not sound spectacular because we expect the U.S. to win, but is no less important. During Operation Enduring Freedom i.e. the U.S.' global war on terror, the nuclear-powered USS Theodore Roosevelt stayed put in its deployed area for 159 days without break!
Some observers suggest building smaller carriers. Small carriers however escalate the operating cost per aircraft because they can deploy fewer aircrafts. Plus, they lose their striking power.
Then again, hull steel is rather inexpensive and the savings from cutting down carrier size are meager. Moreover, a carrier has to carry basic equipment – radars and combat control equipment – which occupies a certain minimum space.
As of July 4, 2016, there are 37 active aircraft carriers with twelve navies. The U.S. of course has ten of these. Perhaps, the strongest evidence of the utility of aircraft carriers comes from the fact that top navies are still building them:
- The U.S. is pouring $13 billion in the USS Gerald R. Ford, the most technologically advanced carrier of today. It is also building two other carriers
- The United Kingdom is building two – Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales
- Japan, India, China, and South Korea are building one each
Other countries with commissioned, ordered, or under-construction aircraft carriers include Russia, France, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Thailand, Egypt, and Australia although some of these possess helicopter carriers only.
Eighteenth century French philosopher Voltaire made a touching observation when he said God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
There would be no proverbial Davids surprising Goliaths with a knockout punch otherwise. Like the Greeks shocked the Persians at Salamis in 480 B.C. And, like the English jolted the Spanish at Gravelines in 1588 A.D.
Heroics apart, let us widen our gaze and adopt a broad interpretation of the adage: the issue is not one of availability of resources alone, but also of their effective mobilization and judicial allocation.
A vibrant naval force has always separated the great from the mere good, the superpower from the average power. We can at present, arguably of course, place space satellites on the same pedestal as of the navy.
Given the practical realities of planet earth and the geopolitical compulsions of today and tomorrow, aircraft carriers will continue to be the jewel in the crown of many a navy. The way they have for a century now. And, the navy will remain the great dividing ridge between powers.

Now a lot of science endeavors prove that there are various medicinal and healthy uses for marijuana, which was once considered a dangerous drug. Recently, endurance athletes are now proving that the long-believed stereotype of lazy marijuana couch potatoes feasting

5 of the cheapest ski resorts in America
While skiing and snowboarding is a thrilling sport that many students enjoy on their winter break from college, it doesn't come cheap.

They pushed the food aside. "We can get something at the burger place after school," Raman said. They concentrated on studying for their English test instead of eating. English was next period, and Mr. Frank had a reputation for giving difficult tests. When the bell rang, they dropped their uneaten lunches into the garbage. Mr. Frank was standing nearby. "Not hungry, guys?" he asked. They shook their heads and hurried off to class.
- When the test was over, there were still ten minutes left in the period. Mr. Frank stood at the front of the class.
- "Before you leave today," he said, leaning against the desk, "I'd like to share an old African folktale with you. I think you'll find this one interesting. It's called 'Why the Sky Is Far Away' :
- Long ago the sky was close to the Earth. Men and women did not have to plant their own food. Instead, when they were hungry, they just reached up and broke off a piece of the sky to eat. Sometimes the sky tasted like ripe bananas. Other times it tasted like roasted potatoes. The sky was always delicious.
- Early one morning the angry sky turned dark. Black clouds hung over the land, and a great sky voice said to all the people, "You are wasting my gift of food. Do not take more than you can eat. I don't want to see pieces of me in the garbage anymore or I will take my gift away."

No matter how much momentum I build up, no matter how much I resolve not to, my writing output always seems to grind to a halt around the Holidays.
There are several reasons for this (aside from my usual laziness, that is):
- It's dark. I do a lot of my writing on the bus, and around the solstice, good light is hard to come by.
- It's cold. True, the bus has lights, but they are not very bright on these dark mornings, and it is so cold right now my fingers would freeze up on the keyboard even if I did try.
- I'm tired. I don't just mean my usual laziness or procrastination; this time of year brings with it a bone-weariness that I find hard to work through.
You could helpfully point out that this is why I am an amateur and will never be published yadda, yadda, yadda, but as a Level I player, I might as well take advantage of the one perk I possess, which is, I'm not working against the clock. If I had a paid assignment I needed to finish, believe me, I'd find a way.
But for now, I think I'll just wait for Boxing Day.

The VEGA Project is the first project funded under the Canadian Government's 10-year, $100 million investment to support victims of violence and their children.
Project Overview:
With experts from the Preventing Violence across the Lifespan (PreVAiL) Research Network, and guided by a National Guidance and Implementation Committee of stakeholders from key Canadian organizations, the VEGA Project will develop pan-Canadian public health guidance, protocols, curricula and tools for health and social service providers. The $4.4 million, 3-year project (2015-2018) will:
- produce a foundational evidence-based guidance package that integrates stakeholder consultation and provides the latest evidence on effective public health practices in responding to three interrelated areas of family violence
- produce curricula and training for adaptation and implementation by different provider groups and in various settings, supported by specific protocols and tools, and based on the following principles:
- Trauma- and violence-informed care
- Cultural safety and competence in a Canadian context (Indigenous and multi-cultural perspectives)
- Sex- and gender-based principles, such that the guidance reflects gender relations and the different contexts for women and girls, men and boys
- Health equity
- develop metrics and indicators so that guidance and curriculum uptake and use can be evaluated; and
- develop an integrated knowledge mobilization strategy to ensure responsive, needs-based product development and appropriate ongoing communication with stakeholders, and the public
Key activities
- Consultation and environmental scans – to develop relevant and responsive guidance and curriculum, initial and ongoing consultations with the NGIC and other key stakeholders, as well as extensive scans of existing resources in this area, are underway.
- Evidence reviews
- Child maltreatment
- Intimate partner violence
- Child exposure to intimate partner violence
- Foundational guidance development

Weighing in at 146 grams and measuring 7.9mm in thickness, the LG Q8 smartphone comes with a 3,000 mAh battery embedded, Quick Charge 3.0 technology, it has LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, UBS-C and runs Android Nougat.

With his dismal loss to Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao encases himself in a bubble of illusion, self-deception, anxiety, and fears. Undoubtedly feeling unhappy from his loss, Manny is hovered with confusion of what else he can, and could do to rise above the situation. There is just too much frustration from his thwarted attempt to beat the undefeated Mayweather. He had expected too much from this bout.
This feeling of illusion and confusion, and great difficulty in letting go will eventually subside. He will start to shrug off the anxiety and face the world again with lifted burdens. He will feel liberated from his frustrations.
Will there be a re-match? There will be speculations and public clamor in the near future, but the answer is NO, there will not be another Pacquiao-Mayweather bout.
Instead, Pacquiao will explore his other interests and embark on new opportunities. He will realize that he has reached very far in life, and the only remaining item on his check-list is to consider a much longer-term view, and explore things beyond his familiar grounds.
In the end, in spite of the disappointing result of the much-hyped Fight of the Century, Manny Pacquiao will come into terms that there are more things in life than boxing.
Psychic Jay is a dream-precognition psychic, a clairvoyant and a seasoned tarot reader. Some of his significant predictions include Obama's presidency, the rise of ISIS, the German World Cup championship, and the recent Mayweather victory.Reading Date: May 5, 2015

Lords of Midgard
Are you ready to brawl? Step inside the game and duke it out to be one of the top 6 guilds of Midgard at Ragnarok Champion's League: Lords of Midgard! Raise your banners and rally to represent your guild at the Ragnarok Philippine Championships 2018! Get ready to strike fear because battle cries do not include tears.
Check updated scores here: https://www.ragnarokonline.com.ph/rcl
Online Tournament Schedule
1. Lords of Midgard will run from August 25 to October 9.
2. There will be two seasons.
3. The top three guilds of each season will advance to the Ragnarok Philippine Championships.
4. The top three guild of Season 1 will be disqualified from joining Season 2 (e.g. If Guild A is 2nd in Season 1, and decided to join Season 2, placing 3rd, they will not be counted in Season 2. Instead, the 4th placer for Season 2 will be considered as the 3rd contender in Season 2).
5. Restoration of castles to owners will be done at the end of Lords of Midgard Season 2.
Note: In case a Top Three guild is unable to participate due to circumstances listed below, the next highest guild will replace them.
Important Notes
1. Alliance system will be suspended for the Lords of Midgard event.
2. All castle ownerships will be rescinded and transferred to the GMs prior to August 25.
3. Tech will be reset to zero. Castle ownerships and Tech as of August 21 will be recorded by the GMs.
4. Players with guilds will be able to attack castle Emperiums at the start of the next WoE (August 25).
5. There will be no guardians at the beginning. You can start Tech from the moment of capture.
(Castle and Tech will be restored to their original owners and points prior to the event).
Championship Rules
1. Participating guilds must take ownership of the castles by the end of the WOE that day.
2. Scoring System
- Castle's Tech Point: (Economy Tech/10) + (Defense Tech/5)
- Conquer Points: (#of castles in every city)/2 [rounded down]
- Every two castles conquered from Valkyrie Realm, Britoniah, or Luina, will earn the conquering guild +1 point on top of the guild's tech points
For Example:
- A guild must have THREE CASTLES in order to get the Conquer points for that city, if their main castle is in that city (e.g. Guild A's main castle is in Britoniah, they must get two more castles in Britoniah to get Conquer points in Britoniah).
- Conquer points will be rewarded to a guild with TWO CASTLES in a city if their main castle is in a different city (e.g. Guild A's main castle is in Luina, and they have two castles in Britoniah. Conquer points are awarded in Britoniah for that guild).
*These are examples only and apply to the cases above.
- For guilds with multiple ownerships, Tech Points will only be considered from their castle with the highest Tech Point.
- Scores will only be calculated at the end of the WoE on that day.
- Points will be accumulative for each season.
- Greenwood Lake castles are reserved for guilds who do not wish to participate in RPC.
- Participating guilds who conquer castles from Greenwood Lake will merit a -1 point for each castle owned.
- Scores earned on WoE dates will be added the business day after the WoE date.
* Part of RPC. Subject to scoring System.
** Not part of RPC. Deduction of 1 point per castle owned.
3. Penalties
- Guilds who disband while concurrently owning castles out of WoE time will merit a PERMANENT BAN on their guild leader's ID.
- In such cases, no points will be calculated from those castles.
For example:
-Case 1. Guild A is the current owner of a castle but the guild master decides to break the guild outside of WoE time. Guild B then decides to break the Emperium of Guild A's former castle outside of WoE time. When the next WoE time comes, and Guild B is able to maintain/regain ownership of said castle by the end of that WoE, Guild B cannot get any score from that castle.
-Case 2. Guild A is the current owner of a castle but the guild master decides to break the guild outside of WoE time. Guild B then decides to break the Emperium of Guild A's former castle outside of WoE time. When the next WoE time comes, and Guild C is able to get ownership of said castle by the end of that WoE, Guild C will get scores from that castle.
4. If there are ties, ranking will be determined by:
- The number of castles conquered for the whole duration of RPC
- If there is still a tie with the # of castles conquered, resolutions will be announced at a later time.
- If there are uncontrolled circumstances (e.g. Server Crash) that affects all guilds, the guild that conquers the castle the at the first possible instance will get the score. (Scores will still be updated on the next day at 14:00 PH Time).
5. Players who commit punishable offenses as stated in the Rules of Play of Ragnarok Online will be banned from the competition and will be punished accordingly to their transgressions.
6. All company decisions, once announced, are final and irrevocable.
Summary: Sample Score Calculation
All castle ownerships will be rescinded, and temporarily transferred to the GMs prior to August 25. Tech will also be reset to zero. This is so that all guilds will start at a level playing field. All participating guilds will be able to attack the Emperiums once WoE starts on August 25. There will be no Guardians protecting the agits for this instance. At the moment of capture of castles from the GMs, hired Guardians will respawn, and guilds can start Tech.
Note: Castle ownership and Tech points will be returned to the guilds that own them by the end of the August 21 WoE.
WoE 1 Saturday, August 25th: Guild A conquers 2 castles at Valkyrie Realm (Kriemhild/Skoegul), 1 castle at Britoniah (Jyolbriger), 1 castle at Al De Baran (Nuernberg).

AboutMagnificent rocky scenery surrounds this gritstone village that has some intriguing features waiting to be discovered.
The winding lanes that climb up the hillsides to Birchover reveal some fascinating secrets. At the foot of the village, behind the Druid Inn, are the weird outcrops of Rowter Rocks, where there are some bizarre rock carvings including caves, seats and dragons! Up beyond the village is Stanton Moor, a fascinating area of stone circles, ancient burial mounds and rocky tors. Nearby to the west are more craggy rock formations at Robin Hood's Stride and Cratcliffe Tor, where a medieval hermit's cave can be explored. All around are superb panoramic views across majestic countryside.
Things to do; Explore the rock formations - with care all are fairly accessible if the weather is fine. For the more experienced climber there are some challenging routes on the crags.

It doesn't have a name, but I got it from Ross and it is by the Cosmetic Arts company, who also make Color Club. It was a dream to apply, and I got full coverage in two coats. I decided to stamp this gorgeous color with one of my favorite stamps from Bundle Montster, BM204.


text: Entrepreneurship, disruptive thinking and action: Increasing opportunities for participation in the innovation economy In Canada, entrepreneurship is on the rise with one of the highest levels of activity in the world, according to data collected by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2015). Entrepreneurial thinking and methods are relevant not only to the creation of new ventures, but also to helping grow or fundamentally change existing companies. Corporate innovators or intrapreneurs work with the same skillset as traditional entrepreneurs who start new ventures. The UBC Sauder School of Business offers a wide range of credit courses in entrepreneurship for students in the UBC Bachelor of Commerce and MBA programs. The school also offers many non-credit courses — which are open to students, alumni, faculty and staff — designed to help entrepreneurial development and accelerate viable commercial and social ventures. Our goal is to foster a strong culture of entrepreneurial thinking and increase opportunities for participation in the innovation economy. These are some of the ways in which you can invest in and support our entrepreneurship activities. W. Maurice Young Centre for Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Research The W. Maurice Young Centre for Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Research at UBC Sauder is currently building a research focus on understanding innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems, including what makes a local ecosystem flourish with high innovation activity (such as classic clusters in Silicon Valley, Austin and Route 128). You can help support the creation of a new case library on local innovation ecosystems, including the role of key players and entrepreneurs as well as the factors that help or hinder successful innovation. This will become an important teaching resource on innovation. The centre is also seeking sponsors for a Vancouver summit to bring thought leaders, policymakers and local talent together and ultimately develop a research database on innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. COMM 466: New Venture Design New Venture Design is a project-based undergraduate course offered by UBC Sauder in conjunction with the Faculty of Applied Science. In this course, engineering and business students work in teams to produce a viable product prototype and business plan. The goal is to provide students with the knowledge and experience to form an entrepreneurial enterprise — some of which have gone on to commercial success. Past support from donors has provided each student team with a budget of $1,500 to develop their prototype and conduct market research. The school is currently seeking $25,000 to continue supporting teams with seed capital that students are encouraged to leverage for prize money from competitions. Entrepreneurship @ UBC Every year, UBC receives more than $500 million in research funding — largely untapped potential on a commercial level that could impact greater economic and social growth. Together with the university's broad talent pool, this provides a significant opportunity for innovation. As a university-wide initiative, entrepreneurship@UBC supports entrepreneurs from all faculties and backgrounds to take their ventures from idea to investment. The educational component of the program is delivered by faculty and instructors at UBC Sauder. You can support early stage ventures through the e@UBC Seed Fund, accelerate social venture growth through the e@UBC Impact Fund, or sponsor activities such as events, workshops, startup weekends or the e@UBC Spotlight Speaker Series. The Concept Fund: Getting Entrepreneurs Started A 2015 Ipsos Reid poll conducted for RBC Small Business revealed that the top four barriers keeping many Canadians from pursuing ventures include a lack of capital, the need for reliable income, fear of failure and not knowing where to start. Support for young entrepreneurs through programs like e@UBC helps to address many of these barriers, but UBC's new Concept Fund ensures that one of the most crucial activities of any new startup — the ability to raise very early stage seed capital — will be assisted by grants of up to $25,000 per team. This helps to advance strong emerging ideas into proof of concepts, prototypes, business models and market validation. At least one member of the venture group must be a current UBC student, faculty, staff member or recent alumni. This is the first grant a team might receive to get its idea off the ground, and donors to the fund will impact a broad group of future entrepreneurs. MBA Internships in Entreprenuership Recent years have seen increasing numbers of Canadians choosing to become entrepreneurs. Through UBC Sauder's Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship career track, full-time MBA students have an opportunity to kick-start new ventures or develop their skills within an existing company. The MBA summer internship has traditionally been about landing a paid job, but many students now choose to run with their venture or new product idea and take this valuable time to bring their entrepreneurial projects to the next stage. We are seeking funding for MBA interns who are set to utilize UBC's resources for mentorship, support and networking while developing a minimum viable product, conducting market testing or doing a beta launch. Creative Destruction Lab - West The University of Toronto's Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is a focused mentorship and investment program for start-up ventures offered by the Rotman School of Management. UBC Sauder is establishing CDL-West, an affiliated program for scalable companies in Vancouver and Western Canada. The CDL concept differs from most university incubator and accelerator programs in that it focuses on supporting ventures with milestone-based activities, in addition to providing top-tier mentorship and early-stage funding. A major difference from many industry-based programs is the CDL's ability to harness academic research and emerging technology, making it one of the most unique and exciting growth opportunities for entrepreneurs today. UBC Sauder welcomes both corporate and individual donors to join the CDL-West initiative.

I have been using a 3G enabled phone for quite sometime, but till date did not use it. After coming to Sweden, I was looking at various broadband options and finally settled on 3. Though I have a 3G enabled phone, I had to buy the modem as well. All one needed was a 3G SIM Card. I get to connect to internet at an average speed of 3-4 MBPS with topspeed reaching 6 MBPS at times. Mobile browsing has never been better. Far better than GPRS or EDGE.
I personally feel it would be great if Vodafone and Airtel launch this in India, after the TRAI approves it. Any idea why there is a delay in launching 3G in India? Every 6 months, we get to read news reports that 3G would be launched in 6 months. It will be good, specially for people living in areas where BSNL is the only option! And for people who are on the move 😉

Post Source: The News – By Aftab Maken
Saturday, August 29, 2009
ISLAMABAD: Paddy growers have asked the federal government to fix minimum guaranteed price of the commodity like that of wheat to make the crop more profitable for farmers.
Three main varieties of paddy including super basmati, basmati and Irri-6 are cultivated in Punjab, interior Sindh and Balochistan and the government sets intervention price of the commodity before harvest to protect the farmers.
Like last year, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture has tabled a summary before the Economic Coordination Committee of the cabinet, recommending an intervention price of Rs1,250 per 40kg for super basmati, Rs1,000 for basmati 385 and Rs600 for Irri for 2009-10 crop keeping in view all factors.
"The federal government, instead of announcing an intervention price, shall fix support price of paddy to safeguard the interests of growers and consumers as rice is the second largest export earner," a director of the Farmers Associates Pakistan (FAP) said.
If the government did not take up this burning issue, the FAP director warned the country would not only lose foreign exchange but would also have to depend on import of the staple food.
"The best option is to increase paddy price by 10 per cent and double PASSCO & TCP's procurement targets from last year so that rice farmers could get a better bargain," the Basmati Growers Association (BGA) said in a letter to secretary Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
In light of increased cost of production, the Association asked the food ministry to recommend a 10 per cent increase in the indicative price of paddy for 2009-10.
"While there is no check on under-invoicing, export parity prices do not clearly portray actual prices and are therefore of no relevance. Farmers suggest that policy announcements of the neighbouring country be taken as a reference for assistance in formulation of a farmer-friendly policy," the letter said.
Prices of paddy have risen by 5 per cent this year which if calculated with current rupee-dollar parity comes to Rs700 per 40kg for Irri-6.
The Association said a definite policy on intervention through the Pakistan Agriculture Storage and Supplies Corporation (PASSCO) and the Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) should also be announced along with increase in prices of paddy.

Keith & Al Toney
Note: Keith and Al Toney are no longer active plaintiffs in this lawsuit, as their claim has been resolved. On May 27, 2009, the State Department modified its policy for name-changes on passports to include individuals who have changed their name after marrying someone of the same sex. Keith was able to successfully apply for a new passport in his married name on June 22, 2009.
The son of a teacher and a Massachusetts State Police Sergeant, Al joined the police force in his native Worcester at the age of 20. He became the first openly gay officer in the Worcester Police Department. Nearly 10 years later, in 1995, Al retired from the force after being shot in the line of duty. He was injured and needed major surgery, but he survived. But his boyfriend and another friend who was with him at the time died from their injuries.
Years later, in 1999, Al got a second chance when he met Keith. Since then, Keith has not only been committed to Al, but also to Al's daughter Kayla (now 21), whom they have raised together in their home in Jefferson since she was 12. The couple are active members of their community who have opened their home to foster children for both long-term and respite care.
When Al, 42, and Keith, 37, legally married in Massachusetts in 2004, Keith changed his name so everyone in their family would share the same last name. He had no trouble updating his Massachusetts driver's license. But when he applied to change his name on his passport—as many married people do—the federal government said no.
"Security is the most important thing for our family, and in a post-9/11 world it's more important than ever to have identity documents in order so our family is safe and secure," says Keith. "But federal discrimination compromised our safety. When we would go through airports my identity documents didn't match. It made us all nervous."
On May 27, 2009, the State Department modified its policy for name-changes on passports to include individuals who have changed their name after marrying someone of the same sex. Keith was able to successfully apply for a new passport in his married name on June 22, 2009. While this was a tremendous victory, Al and Keith remain aware of the federal government's continued discrimination against their marriage and the marriages of other same-sex couples.
Al and Keith have built and now run a consulting business to educate people about inclusion and diversity, and often share their own experiences with discrimination. "As an African-American man who works to educate others about discrimination, it is especially important to me that the government treats our family as equal before the law," says Al. "What we tell people in our business—and what we believe—is that there are no first- and second-class citizens in this country. Everyone is equal before the law. But in denying us the legal protections it gives other married people, the federal government says our family isn't equal."

Pecan Experiment Field director, long-time researcher retiring next month
MANHATTAN – Pecan growers will have one last chance to learn from one of Kansas State University's top experts in the field before he retires.
The 2018 Kansas Walnut Council Field Day will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 16, at K-State's Pecan Experiment Field, located 2.5 miles east of Chetopa on Highway 166 and 3/4 of a mile south on 120th Street.
This year's field day will be offered in conjunction with the Oklahoma Pecan Growers Annual Meeting and features pecan harvesting equipment demonstrations and instructions from some of the nation's leading experts on successful pecan orchard establishment and management.
Bill Reid, the experiment field's director, will retire in July. This may be the last opportunity for farmers and ranchers to benefit from his wealth of experience and knowledge in the culture and growth of pecan.
Lunch will be provided at no cost to participants. In addition to pecan management, the Kansas Walnut Council will also conduct its annual business meeting to discuss hosting the National Walnut Council Meeting in June 2019 at the Prairie Band Pottawatomie Casino and Resort.
The Walnut Council is a science-based organization that encourages research, discussion and application of knowledge about growing hardwood trees. The international association represents nearly 900 woodland owners, foresters, forest scientists and wood-producing industry representatives. The council promotes sustainable forest management, conservation, reforestation, and utilization of American black walnut (Juglans nigra) and other fine hardwoods.
To register for this event, please call the Kansas Forest Service at 785-532-3300 or e-mail Bob Atchison, rural forestry coordinator for the Kansas Forest Service, at email@example.com.
K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county extension offices, experiment fields, area extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan. For more information, visit www.ksre.ksu.edu
