NRI mother arrested after daughters found killed
Rekha Kumari-Baker was taken into custody Wednesday after her daughters were found stabbed to death at their home in Britain.india Updated: Jun 14, 2007 13:29 IST
A divorced British Indian woman has been arrested after her two teenaged daughters were found brutally murdered.
Rekha Kumari-Baker, 39, was taken into custody Wednesday after Jasmine, 13, and Davina, 16, were found stabbed to death at their home in Cambridgeshire village of Stretham.
The tragedy was discovered after Rekha telephoned a neighbour Wednesday morning. The neighbour, in turn, alerted the police. She was arrested from the scene, and the police confirmed they were not looking for anyone else over the killing.
Police said they were not sure how the girls died but suspect both youngsters died of stab wounds.
"The bodies of the girls were found and a woman aged 39 was arrested at the house on suspicion of murder," detective superintendent Jeff Hill said.
"The cause of death is still being investigated and a post mortem on the bodies of the two girls still has to take place.
"Forensic teams are working painstakingly to find out as much as they can, but we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident," Hill said.
Rekha divorced the girls' father, an IT executive, three years ago. It is believed that her relationship with a long-term boyfriend recently ended.
Detectives have reportedly questioned Rekha over the deaths. After her divorce she was living with Jasmine, the Daily Mail reported.
Davina, who was due to take her first GCSE Wednesday, had been living with Rekha's ex-husband in Cambridge but was a regular visitor to the house in Stretham.
Rekha's neighbour Abraham Narimissa, 67, said the death of the two girls was "a tragedy beyond belief".
"It is incredible that they died like this in a sleepy little village. I just can't believe it and I feel very sorry for her and her family. What has happened makes me feel sick," he added.

|Careers & Employment Information
What to Do if You are Over 40 and Have Lost Your Job
Unexpectedly loosing your job can be a very traumatic and distressing experience at the best of times. If you are over 40 and can't find the job you deserve, you will need great inner strength and self belief to come out on top.
Could this be you?
You're working at your family's welding business during the day, and then go to your second job at night. You're 50-some years old, working as a cashier at Target. You always said that if you're 40 years old and have a career that requires you to wear a name tag, then to just shoot you!
Not that there's anything wrong with working at Target or wearing a name tag or working the family business. Those are all honest jobs. It's just that after 20 years with your previous company, and with your education and expertise, you hadn't exactly planned on ramping up to your golden years asking customers if they'd like to save ten percent on their purchase by opening a store credit card.
You heard rumblings about the company folding. But as far as you knew, the numbers were good. At least they were good. Then competition took over and the owners decided it was a good time to bow out gracefully. You were hoping you weren't going to be one of the countless main wage earners to get let go. But sadly, you were. Unemployment ran out. You sent out literally hundreds of resumes and still nothing. Your spirits are down, you're frustrated (that's an understatement) and you even had to humble yourself to get some help from a local food pantry.
You've done all the online courses; you have tirelessly pounded the pavement and scoured the classified ads. You've even hit up all the online sources to jobs such as www.monster.com www.usajobs.com hotjobs.yahoo.com and about 800 other job boards that you regularly surf. If one more person tells you that a door closes and a window opens or that good things come to those who wait, you think you're going to puke.
You have a family counting on you; so now what? For starters, keep plugging along. Keep on keeping on. You know a job isn't going to fall from the sky, so you need to just accept that your job right now is finding a job. You are working and you're working harder than most at this task.
More importantly you need to keep a positive outlook. Yes that's easier said than done. But if you can't control the circumstances you can control your attitude toward it. You can either look at downsizing as an opportunity to do something different or to learn something new; or you can view it by accepting that you've been dealt a bad hand of cards and now all you can do is play it out. Do not view yourself as a victim. No good will come from that attitude.
You wouldn't have advanced nor had the longevity that you did in your former career had it not been for your wherewithal and internal drive. You need to find that strength again. If you're still having a pity party, it's time to get over it. If you've sent out that many resumes and exhausted what you believe to be all your leads and you're still bitter and feeling sorry for yourself, it's time to reevaluate. If you haven't already accepted a job that you're overqualified for and underpaid, then it's time you did.
Pride can be our biggest downfall. Working a family business that you never wanted to, or working nights at the concession stand may not be what you envisioned for yourself. View it as temporary. View it as a paycheck. View it as an opportunity to network with people you would have never had the opportunity to cross paths. Maybe your next customer could be a business owner that you've been attempting to get an interview with.
As for the people who give you clichés ? know that they mean well. People who have not been a mile in your shoes don't understand it. They don't know what to say. Remember downsizing sometimes sucks, but it may be forcing you into a new opportunity that you really love. Make the best of it.

Job! Money! Career!
Feel somehow your life is stuck in MS-OFFICE ? The reality of life for MBAs is Excel or PowerPoint , I heard Google is catching up at campus.

Marketing You and Your Career
Imagine if a business invested years into the research, design, and creation of a new product, and then failed to tell anybody about it. What if the company assumed (even expected) that consumers should discover their new product, just because it was â??greatâ??? Flawed logic, right? Yet, thatâ??s how many people treat their careers! They spend years learning a trade, gaining education, and writing resumes - but do nothing to promote themselves. In fact, they assume others should recognize them just because they show up and do a good job. What they donâ??t assume is accountability for their own career.

Turning the Table: Questions for Your Interviewer
(DES MOINES, Iowa ? January 26, 2005) The fateful final question of all interviewers may carry more weight than you would think. Upon hearing "Now, do you have any questions," you are given a chance to show the quality of your character and interest in the company. No matter how well the interview went, passively responding to this question with a shake of the head and a polite smile will only communicate to the employer that you are not interested in inquiring about the job, the company, and your place within their organization. Your approach to this Question & Answer time will directly impact the interviewer's assessment of you and the interview.

CVs And Resumes Sometimes Just Get In The Way
As a head-hunter and Career Coach I see so many CVs and resumes that look as though they are designed to get in the way of what I (or any other recruiter) might need to know about you the candidate. They vary from pure meaningless waffle without any identifiable facts to lengthy tomes with so much detail they send me to sleep. And I persevere where many others wouldn't bother.
The Path of Least Resistance
I spend a bit of time on airplanes. So, I was surprised by what I observed on a regional jet. Yes, it was holiday travel. Yes, the flight was overbooked. Yes, infrequent and tired travelers were creating challenges for the only stewardess. Still, she saw the small boy, no more than eight, seated in the exit row next to his grandfather. She chose to ignore him, wishing and hoping her safety message stating a person must be over fifteen to sit in the exit row would fix it. Maybe she didn't want the hassle of trying to reseat passengers on an already late flight. Maybe she was tired, too. Who knows?

My class had an interesting conversation one December. We were looking at irony in the Christmas story. The discussion unfolded (Socratically, of course—after all, we're a classical school!) something like this: "What were the Israelites expecting after 400 years of silence?"
They were hoping for a mighty king who would overthrow Roman rule and restore Judea to its original, independent glory. And the irony was that instead, they got a baby. In a lowly manger. "Phooey," they said. "Forget it." The Israelites desired a victorious king to ride in on his stallion and save them! But instead, they got a gentle carpenter, who later rode in on a donkey. So they turned away, refusing the offer.
But wait! There is a double irony!! The baby they rejected was, in fact, a bigger and better king than they had wanted! In fact, the Jews set their sights too low. Jesus didn't come to defeat the Romans—time would accomplish that—no, he defeated the real enemy, the ultimate enemy: Death! Separation from God! Christ crushed the head of that old serpent, Satan, who had precipitated the Fall back in the Garden. So the truth of the matter is the Israelites got, in that little baby, more than they could have asked or imagined. They got the King of Kings! That infant named Immanuel was God With Us, and he defeated the grave. There is now no longer a sting in death. Furthermore, we have eternal life with the God of the Universe because of his victory. Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty. The LORD God Almighty; he is the King of glory.

Do We Really Love the Lost?
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.(Matthew 9:36)
I just came back from my district conference, a time when the gathered churches in our district come together to talak about the 'politics' of overseeing some 90 churches. It differs from a business meeting in that we open and close with praise songs, we worship as we hear the Word presented, and we go about the mundane tasks of electing men and setting policy. The benefit surely is that it can be a time of encouragement and sharpening iron. I personally enjoy seeing so many of my friends that I know from the other churches. I enjoy speaking with the leadership ( I truly love our District Staff- great people of God from the Superintendent to the administrative professionals).I love my adopted denomination, indeed I love the people.
But I have a bone to pick, and this is not just with CM&A people, it is with all who name the name of Christ. We go to these conferences, yes, we go to church. We read and study the Bible, we are built up and equipped. I say for what?!
The theme of this conference was God's heart for lost people. Indeed, it borrowed a line from our CM&A core values which says: Lost people matter to God, He wants them found. This is from the scripture, Luke 19:10:
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Jesus came to seek and to save the Lost. This is the example that he left for the church to follow. It is why we are here on this earth. Unfortunately, I believe that many pastors and therefore many church-goers have that knowledge that lost people matter to God and He wants them found, but they do not live like they know it. Our speaker left the pulpit and went into an institutional chaplaincy because he found himself insulated from the outside world in the church. That is so true. I mean, we like church people. We love fellowship. It is easy to 'preach to the choir'. It is easy to talk with one with whom you agree. In fact, the fellowship is sweet, it is enjoyable, and we are built up and equipped in our local church. Again, I ask, for what?
A core value is something that drives you, that motivates you, that is at the center (the CORE) of your life. I am afraid that as a denomination, in my admitedly small knowledge of the whole, it seems as though we need salt water in order to lead a missional life that is seeking to save the lost. I would say that many Pastors and church-goers hide the light of the world under a bushel basket called the church.
We are called to pray, and indeed we must. We are called to study the Word, and indeed we must. The soil needs work, indeed, we need to take the time to pick the rocks and prepare the ground. But there is a time to put the hand to the plow and get the work of planting done. If the seeds never get planted, there will never be a harvest.
I challenge the Pastors, Associate Pastors, Elders, Deacons, and other leaders to make a point of leading a lifestyle of evangelism, applying the attitude of seeking the lost. I challenge congregations to set aside hours of our leaders' schedules so that they can intentionally go where lost people are and strike up a conversation. When the leaders get a taste of the gift and the blessing of Evangelism, the church members will follow. Believe me, I would love to sit and hear AMEN's from a crowd of my friends whom I love. It is like sipping milk from a bottle, very comforting and relaxing. It can lull a baby to sleep, but it not for the adult who has grown out of it. Evangelism is like drinking water from a firehose. It will wake a Christian out of their sleep, make them rely on prayer and the study of the Word, indeed on the power of the Holy Spirit more and more. And it demonstrates that we love and reverence God more than we fear men. And it will show up on Sunday Morning and Wednesday Nights as well as your Pastors and Leaders are finding themselves leaning on God more for their ministry. They will also be swallowed up in a singular passion for lost people.
he challenge is this: If you believe that God wants lost people found, what are you doing about it? The Biblical method is NOT to make your church more attractive through programming, cool events, media, or music. The Biblical method is, and will always be, God's people built up and equipped in the local church going out and seeking the lost and proclaiming the glorious Gospel. If you leaders do it, your people will surely follow. Even if they do not, indeed, even if they disapprove, as a Christian leader you are supposed to be doing all things for the glory of God anyway.
For you pew sitters: We are willing to give money, yes, and even until it hurts. But are we willing to share the Gospel with our co-workers? We go to missions conferences and are wowed by the stories of Missionaries, but do we have the guts to hand a stranger a gospel tract, or to start up a spiritual conversation? We pray for the lost to come to a knowledge of God, but do we open up our mouths and share that Gospel? You are the ones 'in the world' earning a living, going to school, raising the kids. Indeed you are the ones who support the work of the church and the work of the missionaries. But you are responsible to share the good news of the Gospel within your circles of influence. Don't just be built up and equipped in the church; you are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works (Eph 2:10). Prayer is a good work, indeed, so is Bible Study. Whatever we do to the glory and magnification of God is worship, but in all things that we do, the best work is to share the Gospel with those all around you.
Each Christian has been given a command: Preach the Gospel to every creature (MK 16:15) It is not an option. Go out and share the Gospel today.

Quality standards in stock photography are climbing ever higher, so having photos that "pop" will help your work stand out and give your portfolio an edge. How can you create the most vivid images while preserving the maximum image quality?
Let's suppose you're already following the advice to shoot RAW or, at the very least, turning off in-camera processing of JPEG images. Vibrance and saturation sliders during RAW conversion will only get you so far before you seriously distort pixels and produce massive artifacts.
So you go out and shoot a nicely lit, colorful scene only to discover that once you've downloaded and converted the photo, it still looks bleak. What do you do? How do you breathe life back into this meant-to-be-oh-so-beautiful photograph and make it "pop"? Photoshop to the rescue!
Here's the recipe for making a photo "pop" in Adobe Photoshop without sacrificing image quality.
1. As always, when you're about to manipulate your image, create a duplicate layer (Ctrl+J/Cmd+J).
2. Convert to LAB mode (Image -> Mode -> Lab color). Don't flatten.
3. Make sure Layer 1 (the duplicate layer) is selected and go to Channels palette.
4. Select Channel a.
5. Recall Curves (Ctrl+M/Cmd+M or go to Image -> Adjustments -> Curves).
6. Grab the handle in the upper right corner and drag it along the horizontal axis to the left to the first square as shown above.
7. Now grab the handle in the lower left corner and drag it to the right in similar fashion, as seen above. Click OK.
8. Switch to Channel b in the Channels palette.
9. Repeat steps 5 – 7.
10. Select Lab channel. Convert back to RGB (Image -> Mode -> RGB); don't flatten.
11. Go back to Layers palette and look at your image. Too much? It most likely is. Good thing you did it on a separate layer, isn't it?
You know what to do now – just lower the opacity of the top layer to suit your taste.
With this method you can quickly lose details in the red tones. An easy solution is to select the color range and mask it out. Go to Select -> Color Range, select your red tone and play with the fuzziness and click OK. Now go to the Layers palette and with Layer 1 selected, click on the Add Mask button while holding Alt. This mask will be saved in the Channels palette. Apply some Gaussian Blur to the mask. You can reduce the mask effect (add some saturation to the red tones) by painting the black areas of the mask with a soft white brush at 30% opacity.
A little productivity tip – you can save steps 1 through 10 as an action and assign a keystroke to it.
And one final word of caution: Remember the main rule of "popping" the image: moderation! It still should look like a photograph, not a cartoon.

By now you have likely heard that the Superbowl is going to be the Arizona Cardinals vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's how it is after the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Steelers last night. I was out at the bar watching the game as it unfolded and hoping that we would have a Cinderella story on our hands by winning in our third faceoff against the Steelers this season. Unfortunately, I ended up heartbroken. However I have no hate for the Ravens or how they played tonight. Were mistakes made? Sure, but their heart was in the game and they gave us a great performance.
This season has been amazing for the Ravens because no one expected them to do what they did. Last year their record was 5-11 and so we fired the coach and hired a new one. On top of that, we had a rookie quarterback who by a twist of fate was thrown into being the starting quarterback for the Ravens. All of the national media pundits and even many fans had counted out the Ravens as playoff contenders this year. However, the Ravens blew away everyone's expectations by going 11-5 in the regular season and making it into the playoffs. On top of that, they got all the way to the championship, everyone counted the Ravens out, but they proved them wrong, and I love it.
Joe Flacco did amazing work this year for being thrown into the fire. He stepped up and showed that while he may be a rookie, he has a ton of potential to be one of the great quarterbacks in the NFL. He was coached well by John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron (Offensive Coordinator) and I think we will see a lot more out of him next year. From talking with many fans of rival teams, the common thing I heard was "I don't like the Ravens, but I like Flacco." People paid attention to him, and that's a great thing. I immediately saw in the pre-season that Flacco was not one to panic under pressure, unlike Kyle Boller, and that is something the Ravens offensive line desperately needed. After watching him play in the regular season, I was hooked, he's got a fan out of me. Now he's made a name for himself and done something no other rookie quarterback has done. He got to the playoffs and won two playoff games; any other rookie has only won one game. That's something he can hold for himself now.
Flacco, combined with guys such as Ray Rice, LeRon McClain, and Willis McGahee created a much better offensive line than we ever predicted, especially under the coaching of Cam Cameron as the offensive coordinator. Add to that our well-known defense, and we became a force to be reckoned with. What scares me a bit now is that we could lose Rex Ryan, our defensive coordinator to another team, and some of our defensive players are getting up there and might be looking to retire or go elsewhere, we shall see.
Despite what happened tonight, I am extremely proud of the Ravens and how far they made it. They earned their season and they have a shot at earning a ring next year. Pittsburgh had better look out though, now they have intensified their rivalry, and we are going to want that win!
As I was writing this, I was waiting at the Owings Mills mall for the bus with the players to arrive for a rally. There were lots of fans there ready to cheer on their Ravens when they rolled back into town. People were beating drums and yelling rally chants, along with plenty of "STEELERS SUCK!" Eventually a cop got on the loudspeaker and announced the Ravens would be rolling in around 2 AM since the plane was on the tarmac still. Okay, fine, I can sit in my car and warm up a bit. 1:30 rolls around and now it looks like 3 AM. At 2 AM they announce the plane is still in Pittsburgh so they are going to have to cancel the meetup. Lots of people start rolling out, I hung behind writing this and on the phone with TB before a cop came up and told me I had to leave.
I hope the Ravens set up a rally soon, I want the chance to cheer them on for an awesome season. 2009 should be a great year for us.
Last but not least, GO CARDINALS! I do not want the Steelers to get another Superbowl ring.

United Way of Metropolitan Dallas Launches 94th Annual Campaign
DALLAS – Building on the success of an unprecedented $61-million fundraising year, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas is launching its 2018-2019 annual fundraising campaign, led by Texas Instruments Chairman, President and CEO, Rich Templeton and wife, Mary Templeton. Succeeding Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman in the role, the Templetons will rally key supporters toward the organization's 94th year of fundraising and community impact during a kickoff luncheon at The Chase Tower on Tuesday, September 11th. Resources raised during the campaign will support efforts to achieve bold, 10-year community goals to prepare at least 60-percent of all high school graduates to succeed in college and careers, move 250,000 out of poverty permanently, and improve health and quality of life across North Texas.
"Mary and I are thrilled to serve together as the next chairs of United Way's annual campaign," said Rich Templeton, who served as United Way Campaign Chair in 2012-13. "United Way is the backbone for addressing the growing needs in our community, continually assessing existing programs and creating new ones that have the best odds of making a difference in the lives of many. We are committed to leading a collective effort to ensure a North Texas community thriving with healthy, educated and financially secure residents, both now and in the future."
"Our family is passionate about United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and the work it does improving lives in our community," added Mary Templeton. "I am personally inspired by the legacies of two of United Way's longest and generous patrons, Ruth Altshuler and Margaret McDermott, both dear friends who took me under their giant philanthropic wings and taught me what it means to give wisely. Rich and I are inspired by the opportunity to come together to carry on their efforts to keep making our community better."
United Way's annual campaign will engage long-standing corporate, civic and philanthropic relationships, while establishing new ones through innovative digital fundraising strategies. Building on the momentum of last year's effort, the organization hopes to again lead North Texas to the title of 'Most Generous City in America' on #Giving Tuesday. Championing #GiveBigDFW on November 27, 2018, the Templeton family plans to lead volunteer engagement efforts across the region on the global day of giving that falls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, kicking off the holiday season with a focus on sharing and caring.
"Rich is a powerful influence and example in our business community, while Mary is the driving force behind the expansion of United Way leadership to family leadership, a strategy we had hoped and planned for years ago," said Jennifer Sampson, McDermott-Templeton President and CEO, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. "I deeply admire them both for their vision and commitment, and am profoundly grateful for their leadership. They have big dreams for our community, and they believe passionately that we have the potential to make those dreams a reality for all the people of North Texas."
The first-ever couple to lead the campaign, the Templetons follow Aikman and six fellow North Texas-based, global CEOs who have led United Way of Metropolitan Dallas' local campaign including: 2011 Campaign Chair and Chairman, CEO and President of AT&T, Inc. Randall Stephenson; 2013 Campaign Chair and Chairman and CEO of Kimberly-Clark Corporation Tom Falk; 2014 Campaign Chair and President and CEO of Advance Auto Parts Tom Greco; 2015 Campaign Chair and Chairman and CEO of Fluor Corporation David Seaton; and 2016 Campaign Chair and Chairman and CEO of Celanese Corporation Mark Rohr.

Pitbull, real name Armando Christian Pérez, receives his star as the 2,584th name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Friday, (July, 15).
Present at the ceremony were three important people in Pitbull's life, his Uncle Luke – Luther Campbell, Tony Robbins and Lil Jon. Pitbull's star is located on Celia Cruz square in central Hollywood as Cruz is one of his idols.
He said, "I use these platforms to speak to you all and for you all to understand that for me it's never been about money, it's never been about fame—It's been about a journey.
And that journey being that it's about our culture. It's about coming from nothing to something. It's about being the prime example of what the American dream is and what it embodies."
The 35-year-old revealed he has six children but shields them from the spotlight not because he's selfish, but he doesn't want them to have to deal with the ups and down's of the limelight which is what the life he chose is all about.
"I don't want them to be a part of the life I signed up for, but I love them dearly."
He talked about his passion and dedication as what kept him going and encouraged his fans to stay focused, work hard, believe in themselves and always go against all odds.
Pitbull added, "And if there's on thing I never understood it's no. Losing to me is just another opportunity and failure to me is just another lesson learned."

He admitted to the love he has for his roots and never forgets it, as he's always talking and singing about his city, Miami.
The I-know-you-want-me singer said, "So to be here and go from, La Sawesera, La Pequeña Habana, Wynwood, Hialeah, Opa-Locka, Carol City, Liberty City, Allapattah… I mean all these different neighborhoods and to be able to be here in Hollywood getting a star—it's priceless."
The Miami star was especially grateful to his mother who taught him the most important aspect of life which was how to survive in a world like this.
"I want to say thank you to my mother because she taught me one thing, it's the most important thing in life, she taught me how to survive," he said.
He said he would love his fans, "to go against all odds and see that nothing could stop them as long as they believe in themselves and do right by others."
Besides his star, he also received a piece of history from the estate of Celia Cruz his idol – a shoe worn by the amazing performer in her earlier years.
Always go against all odds, believe in yourself, and do right by others.

Breathtakingly beautiful, simply amazing, read it, read it, read it! I am exhausted right now and will likely not do it justice, but this is the best book I've read in months. Story is of an ancient languages (Greek, Latin) teacher who simply gets up and walks out of his life after 30 years of teaching. He has a chance encounter with a Portuguese woman who writes a phone number on his forehead, which sets him on this new path. Picking up a random book, he begins his quest to find out more of the life of Amadeu Prado, a doctor in Lisbon who was a fantastic writer. Gregorius (the ancient text teacher), hops on a train to Lisbon, and begins his search. Yes, yes, yes.
p 77: There were the people who read and there were the others. Whether you were a reader or a nonreader – it was quickly noted. There was no greater distinction between people. People were amazed when he asserted that and many shook their head at such crankiness. But that's how it was. Gregorius knew it. He knew it.

After having spent the day exploring Sultanahmet on our third day in Turkey, the old part of Istanbul, my friend and I decided to walk up to Taksim which is Istanbul's modern district. Walking up to Taksim from Sultanahmet is an entertaining twenty five minute walk as we passed by spice and coffee merchants, shops filled with turquoise ceramics and colourful lokums (Turkish Delight desserts) all the while hearing Avicii and Mumford & Sons playing loudly from someone's stereo.
A few steps away from the noisy merchants, we reached the town square where we spotted the Galata Tower, a historical medieval stone tower that had a line up of people around it. We decided to join the line too as we figured it would a perfect way to get a great view of the city, especially since we were reaching dusk.
We reached the top of the tower and headed outside to the wrap-around balcony. From a distance, the Blue Mosque poked out from the city lights and the fiery tangerine sun was sinking behind it. I was conflicted between grabbing my camera to capture it, or to just actually live in the moment and take in the view. Not wanting to miss the moment, the photographer inside me reached for my camera and after only a few snapshots, the sun had disappeared.
At that moment, the call to prayer started from across the horizon and it echoed from one minaret to the other. The entire city resonated with this beautiful sound as the sky turned pink and purple. There were over thirty people on the balcony that just a moment ago exclaimed excitedly at the beauty of the sunset view, but then suddenly everyone had gotten quiet once the prayers started, letting the experience peacefully sink in.

The artist Batuz has developed with great consistency works of art in the last decades in which a line becomes a mental barrier and acquires a vital function within the picture. Landscapes are created that are totally abstract, events occur in which many people participate to bring landscape art to life outside in nature. Batuz works with many different media, what remains the same is his vision of a co-existing world that acts as a possible community in which everyone can communicate with everyone else; the intellectuals amongst themselves but also with all others. High and low has no meaning. What's important is to create a peaceful world. The works of art are agents in this world.
Therefore Batuz does not hesitate to involve servicemen of the German army, as he did, for example, in the Neißefluss project at Peinsk-Rotenburg. An international project about the breaking down of the historically sensitive German-Polish border.
Batuz works with the most diverse of materials and methods, and in widely varying sizes.
His newest work, Helmets for Peace from 2007, is 550 cm high and 1130 cm wide. It is based on the experiences of his Berlin-Wall project, which were carried over into the Neißefluss project. Five years after this project, the 167 helmets, which are the carriers of colored flat shapes and were used in the river Neiße symbolizing the future unity of Europe, were kept and have now been assembled into Batuz' monumentally large, fragmented work of art. It carries thoughts of no maś fronteras, of local to global, of communication through art, and also of the abstract experiences of earlier works and therefore all the elements of Batuz' language. Large works such as Omen, 1979, also contain the third dimension in the abstract surface and concentrate on a pure abstraction that can nevertheless be legitimately seen as a landscape.
Helmets for Peace is in the form of a large abstract picture made out of real objects, yet it continues to convey itself as a painting. Helmets for Peace will in the future develop the sort of power that we get from Picasso's Guernica today. This work of art will grow as it ages, it will give us answers that are not yet known, not even by the artist. Helmets for Peace, 2007, has this aesthetic potential energy because it gives answers as regards to content. In contrast to Guernica, Batuz works out of an abstract, conceptually philosophical world that he consistently wants to convey into practical results. In this lies the real artistic ambition of the artist. Not to remain as an image but to give the visual world a new reality. Helmets for Peace is art history conceived as an abstract picture of history. Helmets for Peace is a fundamental work that wants to overcome boundaries, that refers to the past as a memorial for the future and visually annuls the differences between people.
Helmets for Peace is the current apex of the greatest ambition of the artist and his Société Imaginaire. 167 people of both sexes, many nationalities, various ages, and completely different jobs come together and put themselves at the disposal of the artist to make the Neißefluss project happen. It is an event, a happening, as we say today. There is a documentary film, but on the spot where it took place the river Neiße flows quietly by as it always has. But the awareness of the residents on both banks of the river has been changed by this event.
Batuz lets us see many of the possibilities of sight by using relics, in an immense artistic accumulation, as real objects and color mediums, along with the military helmets carrying colored flat shapes in order to together become a colossal new work of art that stands before us like a porous wall. 1. the picture is abstract, 2. the picture is totally real, 3. the picture breathes with diverse meanings, 4. the picture has a three-dimensional surface, 5. the work is totally transparent, 6. the picture is enclosed on all sides, 7. the picture excels itself both in a material and spiritual sense, 8. abstraction is the compression of real statement, 9. more realistic is more abstract, 10. the impenetrable becomes transparent.
All these properties, which can be expanded into, for example, social and biographic aspects, overlap in Batuz' theoretical belief of the Interrelation of Forms. From this fundamental consideration Batuz formed his immense work of art that is now a masterpiece for us to experience. This interrelation of the forms, forms analog to the interrelation of the colors from Josef Albers, also argues with the feelings, but not with the color memory of the observer, which is deceptive. These individual forms are not a guarantee of a statement. Although their interaction, their interrelation is precise. A cornerstone remains, adhering to the theory of the Interrelation of Forms, the ability for two halves of the picture separated by a line to peaceably disagree with each other in order to show that there are no borders anymore. Batuz' abstraction is always a metaphor, an almost philosophical allegory about human existence. He controls the principle of dialog in the work of art itself and therefore its realness in the eyes of the observer. Umberto Eco talks about the "opera aperta", the open artwork.
The work Helmets for Peace calls for consistency, for continuity around the world. The international contacts that the artist has made should make it possible for the whole of mankind, on a shrinking planet, to start an aesthetic dialog with reference to globalization, namely: communication through art. The German army, for example, can help achieve this because of the very different experiences they have encountered during the German Reich, and also civil organizations can be helpful.
It ought to be possible, with the help of many people worldwide, to make this communication become real as a joint discussion through art. Helmets for Peace should not be left alone, it needs a large international family that had its origins in Chemnitz, but then the materialization of this work into an international and global vision demands that a fixed locality can not be a prerequisite for its emergence and understanding.
Behind these helmets for peace lies an immense conceptual notion that goes far beyond the work done in Chemnitz. It is seldom for works of art to arise that immediately require a direct continuation around the globe. Helmets for Peace is not a piece of art made for an atelier or artists studio, or even a locality or urban area, but it is a visual contemplation in a world community.

|Guard Duck
|Guard Duck
Guard Duck is, as his name implies, the "guard duck" for Pig and Rat's home,[1] and still lives with them despite often taking on different occupations. Pig has described him as "very sensitive and having an anger management problem". He's known for a short temper and a violent streak. He has gone to several anger management seminars, but he leaves with more issues than he had before.
His first appearance was March 14, 2005,[2] when Pig bought him because a proper Guard Dog was too expensive. Pig's neighbors frequently laughed at Guard Duck, but then got beaten up by him. He often suggests militaristic solutions for neighborhood problems, often getting him locked in a clothes hamper by Pig.
Originally, Guard Duck was a violent duck with anger management problems, but he eventually transformed into a duck associated with the army, seeing the world as his battlefield. He has occasionally referenced the Vietnam War and war movies such as Apocalypse Now. In one of his "missions" that he was given by Rat, he teamed up with Zebra's cat Snuffles to invade Cuba under orders from Rat, but mistakenly invades Jamaica. While in Jamaica, he also shoots a sheriff. The moment he got to Cuba, he and Snuffles were arrested, but released after convincing the Cubans that he was there as part of a cultural exchange. He is also a member of the Order of Panelwalkers and taught Pig how to panelwalk. In a series of strips, Guard Duck is seen training gophers to use grenades which causes problems in the neighborhood. Most recently, the Grenade Gophers went renegade and joined the Crocs as assassins.
Despite his emotional instability, Guard Duck is extremely loyal to Pig, and refuses to leave him alone for to long.
It is also mentioned that Guard Duck has a girlfriend, Maura, who leaves him from time to time and once in particular (after a trip to Paris) to become a corporate spokesperson for Aflac.
In the treasury The Crass Menagerie, Stephan Pastis remarks that the Guard Duck has become so popular that he's become a sixth main character (after Rat, Pig, Goat, Zebra, and the crocs).[3]

EDINBURG — UTRGV men's basketball freshman Greg Bowie said he wasn't composed enough early in the year. Coach Lew Hill saw that, like many freshmen, Bowie didn't know what to expect or how to adjust to a faster game against stronger players.
"But as he keeps playing, he starts realizing that he can play this game," Hill said. "He's starting to get more comfortable with what I want. He's starting to learn to defend. He's always been a natural scorer. Now, he's just playing with a lot of confidence."
On Tuesday, Bowie cracked double figures in scoring for the third time this season, dropping 13 points on a career-best three 3-pointers as UTRGV rolled NAIA opponent Wayland Baptist 86-50 at the UTRGV Fieldhouse.
In UTRGV's last outing, Saturday against Chicago State, Bowie played a career-high 29 minutes with a career-best five steals. And in the game preceding that matchup, Bowie scored a career-high 18 points on Jan. 20 against Seattle U.
"Offensively, I used to say, 'Just shoot 3s,'" Bowie said. "But now, I'm being more aggressive attacking the rim, getting to my midrange, which I always practice on. And defensive wise, I got a little bit better than I was before."
Bowie called the midrange shot "the lost art of the game," something he's been focused on since he was a freshman in high school. What he didn't pay as much attention to in high school was defense, but Hill has demanded that from him at UTRGV.
"Coach (Luke) Mackay and Coach Hill always tell me if I want to step my game up, I have to add more elements," Bowie said. "Not just scoring, it has to be on the defensive end, as well. Getting rebounds, steals and being a team player."
For the season, Bowie is averaging 7.6 points per game on 39.6 percent shooting, including 34.3 percent from beyond the arc. Bowie averaged more than two turnovers per game during his first 14 games but entered Tuesday's contest on a run of four games without a giveaway.
Redshirt senior Moe McDonald said he expects Bowie to continue to give UTRGV a major lift going forward.
"He's not scared anymore. He's finally growing up a little bit," McDonald said. "He's always been a shot taker, but now he's turned into a shot maker."
Bowie had just one major blip on the radar this season, suffering a concussion when he was undercut during a rebounding drill and the back of his head crashed into the hardwood. He said he was sensitive to light for a couple days after the injury and needed a little time to recondition himself to UTRGV's fast-paced style of play. Though he said suffering an injury in the middle of the year "sucks," he resolved to continue improving. Looking ahead, he still holds lofty expectations for his season.
"Win Freshman of the Year for the WAC, and then win the conference championship and go to the NCAA Tournament," Bowie said.
The next step on that road is a matchup at New Mexico State, which is 19-3 and 6-0 in the WAC, at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Wayland Baptist, an NAIA school, entered Tuesday's game at 14-5. Not included in that mark is a 79-72 loss at Rice in an exhibition on Nov. 4.
UTRGV would not face the same type of challenge, opening a 16-point lead at halftime and stretching the margin as high as 39 points during the final 20 minutes. The win moves UTRGV to 12-11 overall and 9-8 in nonconference play, securing the first winning nonconference season since 2007-08.
"We came in and didn't overlook them and just did what we were supposed to do," Hill said. "We're supposed to beat them, so we came out and beat them."

Varvarin is a town and municipality located in the Rasina District of central Serbia. Population of the town is 2,133, and population of the municipality is 17,772.
The town is notable as the site of an 1810 battle during the Russo-Turkish War (1806-1812) between the Ottoman Empire and a combined Russian and Serbian army. A statue to the Russian commander Joseph Cornelius O'Rourke and his men was erected in 1910 on the centenary of their victory in the battle, which freed the city from Turkish domination.
View of Varvarin from the river Morava
From 1929 to 1941, Varvarin was part of the Morava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
During the Kosovo war and the break-up of Yugoslavia in the late 20th century, the area became engulfed in conflict although distant from the border. On a clear Sunday, 30 May 1999, shortly after 1 p.m., a bridge crossing the Velika Morava river in Varvarin was struck by laser-guided bombs fired by one or two low-flying NATO F-16 warplanes conducting attack operations. The area around the bridge was filled with hundreds of people celebrating an Orthodoxholiday in and around the nearby church, a market place, and a fairground.
No precautions against air attacks had been taken, as the town is far from Kosovo (approximately 200 km), the aged and narrow bridge was considered insignificant, and no military installations were within a radius of 20 km. Ten civilians were killed and 17 severely injured.
