Walney, Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
Walney St Mary Vickerstown was created a chapel of ease in 1742 from, and lying within the boundaries of Dalton in Furness, Lancashire Ancient Parish.
Other places in the parish include: Barrow, Barrow Island, Biggar, Walney Island, Peel, Piel Island, and Hawcoat Division.
The name Walney comes from the Old Norse valna ey, which means "Isle of the British". This name would have been given when Norse settlers were present in the area during the Viking Age. One of the main areas of settlement, Biggar Village has been inhabited since at least the 11th century. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hougenai, or "island of Hougun" from the Old Norse word haugr meaning mound or hill.
The island is around eleven miles long and less than a mile wide at its widest point.
The island lies in the Irish Sea to the west of the Furness peninsula in north-west England. Until 1974 both the island and the peninsula were a detached part of the county of Lancashire but is now in Cumbria, the island being part of the borough of Barrow-in-Furness to which it has been connected by bridge (Jubilee Bridge) since 1908. Jubilee Bridge spans Walney Channel and until its commission, a ferry was used in order to cross the channel.
The church is situated in Vickerstown which was an estate for worker housing constructed for workers at the Barrow shipyards and docks owned at the time by the Vickers company.
"WALNEY, ISLE OF, a chapelry, in the parish of Dalton-in-Furness, union of Ulverston, hundred of Lonsdale north of the Sands, N. division of the county of Lancaster, 5 miles (S. W.) from Dalton; containing 921 inhabitants. This district, which is insular only at high water, is ten miles in length, and about one in breadth; and has a lighthouse on its southern extremity, a short distance from which is a rocky islet termed the Pile of Fouldrey, i. e. the island of fowls, where are the venerable ruins of a strong castle. There are several other small isles adjacent, the principal of which is Old Barrow, lying between this and the main land, opposite the small village and port of Barrow. Walney, which is stated to have been once covered with wood, is described by West, in his Antiquities of Furness, as lying on a bed of moss, which is found by digging through a layer of sand and clay, and in which trees have been met with. On the western side of the island were lately discovered a number of guns of various calibre, stone balls of from eight to twelve pounds' weight, balls of hammered iron, old swords, and other articles, supposed to have belonged to a wrecked vessel, of which a tradition has existed for several centuries. One of the guns measured ten feet in length; all were of wrought or hammered iron, and were provided with rings to allow them to be slung with ropes when fired, which shows that gun-carriages were not in use when they were made. The relics all lay imbedded in the sand and clay, at a place only accessible at low water. There are some remarkable intermitting springs of fresh water in the island. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £94; patron, the Vicar of Dalton."

Harpsichordist Colin Tilney's curiosity never wanes
Even at the tender age of 13, Colin Tilney knew that his life's path would oscillate between the old and the new. When he was a teen, however, the new was forbidden.
In a telephone interview from his home in Victoria, the globally recognized harpsichordist recalls that, as a young piano student, he was allowed to make his recital debut with Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major. His other choice, Béla Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 3 in E Major, was deemed far too recondite.
"They said the orchestra wouldn't be able to play it," Tilney notes. "So I was obviously interested in Bartók by then, and he's played a large part in my life."
Works by the great Hungarian won't be featured in Colin Tilney Celebrates LXXX, produced by Early Music Vancouver and the Queer Arts Festival, but the 80-year-old's eternally open mind will. On the program are works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, and Louis Couperin, mainstays of early music. But Tilney is also looking forward to performing the decidedly modern-sounding Quinque, written for him in 1971 by South African composer Ivy Priaulx Rainier.
"It's just a curiosity about music from any time, I think," Tilney says of his expansive tastes. "I don't really feel a defender of early music. It's just that my instrument is the harpsichord, and it has a period from about 1500 to 1800. Then it stops, but it comes back again in the 20th century."
That it did is largely due to Arnold Dolmetsch, the French musician, instrument maker, and scholar. And Tilney, as it happens, has a direct connection to the man who was behind the renaissance of early music that took place during the first part of the 20th century.
"My parents bought a house near Haslemere, and that was the centre, of course, of the Dolmetsch family after he settled in England," he explains. "They did concerts in the summer that they used old instruments in, and of course he had been for years experimenting with and buying old instruments, and repairing them and playing them and writing about them. So I went to those concerts, and later on I actually bought two clavichords by Dolmetsch."
Tilney doesn't make much of this hands-on connection to the musical past. Instead, he'd rather remind the Straight that during his lengthy stint as artistic director of the Toronto-based early-music group Les Coucous Bénévoles, he commissioned pieces from a who's who of Canadian modernists, including Christopher Butterfield, Peter Hannan, Rodney Sharman, and Rudolf Komorous. He's also arranged his 80th-birthday concert so that those who only come for the Bach—in this case the English Suite No. 6 in D Minor, which he describes as "full of the most amazing music"—won't be able to avoid the Rainier, as it's in the first half of the program.
"The title means 'five' in Latin, which I forgot to put in the program notes," he says of Quinque. "There are five movements: they go fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, and the second slow one is a monologue—only one note at a time. I suppose you'd describe it as polytonal in harmony, but it also uses conventional notation to create fascinating rhythms. And it has many short bursts of sound, possibly reminiscences of her childhood in South Africa: birds and insects, et cetera.
"It's sometimes just a little harsh, perhaps, for the harpsichord," he adds, "but I think it's a good thing to give an instrument an outing and see what it can do."
Early Music Vancouver and the Queer Arts Festival present Colin Tilney Celebrates LXXX at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre on Friday (July 25).

Richard De Rose: A-C mayoral candidate clarifies lab comment
The Athens Banner-Herald's July 1 story headlined "Choices aplenty in races" includes the phrase that 2006 Athens-Clarke County mayoral candidate Richard De Rose "is running on his belief that deadly viruses could escape from what he calls shoddily built University of Georgia biomedical research laboratories."
Robert T. Gregory: Attack on Chambliss was totally unwarranted
I'm a career naval officer who served 27 years on active duty. Additionally, I have nearly 20 more years as a military and veterans' advocate. I was annoyed to read Athens Banner-Herald Editorial Page Editor Jim Thompson's unwarranted personal attack "salvo" at Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., (Column, "Chambliss shouldn't wrap himself in U.S. flag," July 2). Thompson, who takes issue with Chambliss' student deferment, might recall that in the Vietnam era, student deferments were commonplace. Countless numbers of young men received student deferments, as well as countless more who were medically disqualified. Those deferments have no bearing on someone's belief in freedom, liberty and representative democracy.
John Callaway: 'Flight 93' sparks powerful emotions

I must remember the victims for all time. It has been burned forever into my mind. The victims showed great courage, great resolve and great love. I will never forgive, I will never forget.
Adrian P. Childs: Pay attention to history for a lesson on bigotry
A July 14 letter to the editor, "Definition of marriage doesn't limit rights," claims laws banning same-sex couples from marrying are not discriminatory because they apply equally to everyone. This same argument was used to support laws banning interracial marriage: Since all people were free to marry someone of the same race, and all were banned from marrying individuals of a different race, such laws should not be considered discriminatory.
Tony Eubanks: CAPPA ideas for Prince are anything but defunct
While I appreciate your accolades in the July 14 editorial regarding the future development of Prince Avenue ("Modified vision for Prince worth it down the road"), I must redirect credit to where it is due and add a few details.
Andy Totten: Sheriff has failed public on Nuwaubian issue
Regarding the alleged activities of Clarke County jail deputies who have been accused of proselytizing for the supremacist Nuwaubian religious sect, on thing is certain: If white employees at the jail were proselytizing for a white supremacist group, there is no doubt that they would be immediately fired.
Ken Justice: Extra classroom help could boost test scores
Results from the recent retesting of Clarke County students on state-mandated tests are awful. (Story, "Hundreds might get held back," July 14).
Aaron Lee: Government can't intrude unless rights are violated
Anything other than traditional marriage would be immoral, says the writer of the July 14 letter to the editor, "Definition of marriage doesn't limit rights." Maybe I moved to Saudi Arabia and didn't realize it, but I was under the impression the government was supposed to protect our life, liberty and property - not ensure our morality.

Mayor says no millage rate hike in Bishop
The town of Bishop will not be raising the millage rate after all.
Do you come from a land down under?
I t's been said that one must wait until retirement age before getting the opportunity to travel the world. However, that belief could not be further from the truth for one world traveler, who obtained his passport even before he was old enough for a driver's license.

"We travel around Vietnam getting them. Most of them end up in Saigon, because that's where the tourists are. They sell them as souvenirs. Doesn't that just kick you in the gut?"
Political races aren't serving public interest
In the months leading up to Tuesday's primary election, it was the race to secure the Democratic nomination for governor that earned top honors for generating more heat than light, with the Republican contest for a shot at the lieutenant governor's office certainly vying for second place in pursuit of that ignominious honor. Voters deserved far better than the negative campaigns they got from the major contenders in both of these races.
Youngblood's proposal won't help Madison
The July 24 meeting of the Madison County Board of Commissioners could get interesting, if Commissioner Mike Youngblood can convince two more of the county's five district commissioners to support his proposal for a new way of handling disciplinary issues involving county government department heads.
Shields: Don't think Kerry doesn't notice those 2004 bumper stickers
Bumper stickers fascinate me. Bumper stickers permit drivers to state - uncensored - (and those of us in the cars behind them to learn) their political beliefs, religious convictions, personal biases, and favorite high school, college or professional sports teams.
Shipp: Growth, not gays, should be what's capturing legislators' attention
If I lived in South Georgia, I would look to the Fulton County model in north Georgia for inspiration. Here's what I mean. The government of Georgia's largest county is falling to pieces. A half-dozen communities, starting with Sandy Springs, have decided they are tired of being exploited and ignored by the Fulton government. So they have set out to form their own governments and control their own destinies.

Any idea why EventGhost only seems to log when a new window is activated (or deactivated)? Nothing else gets logged. I'm running as administrator.

Do you have any other plugins installed/enabled?
Also, you should ask this on the EventGhost forums, not here.
Have a question? First try the XBMC online-manual and FAQ. Also: How to submit a debug log

Hello all I will post this question here too:
I have a Asrock remote (nuvoton w836x7HG CIR) HID
My goal is to stop the built-in response of XBMC to my mce remote and define all the functions myself with eventghost.
I accidentally discovered that if I use this reg file with one entry, it disables all the buttons but the button press events are still logged in EventGhost. This is exactly the behavior that I wanted. The reg file is this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
0c,00,00,00,03,82,00,\ ; Power - left at Windows default, use "04,04,3d" to send alt-F4
I also tried to use a reg file like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
I said maybe this will disable all the buttons, it did but the eventghost wasn't able to catch any events from the remote anymore. So for EventGhost to capture, it needed at least one key assigned, so I kept the power.
However this has caused one problem for me. All my keys now send an event to EventGhost except 0! The key 0 doesn't send anything! Any ideas?

I've followed all the instruction but all I obtain is to disable the remore both in windows and inside xbmc.
I'm using and Asrock System with Windows 7 and when I use EventGhost, it disable the remote.
Can you give me an hand on this, please?

So Now I can help. It was very difficult for me to configure mine. Asrock is not a normal MCE remote. Because EventGhost has no plugin for it, you should not Disable HID service for this remote.
If you do that, you can never use it in EventGhost. First make your remote work again in windows, then do my instructions. Just apply that reg file and all will be good. This took me several days to make it work. Then in Event Ghost you add HID plugin with two HIDs of asrock! One HID captures half the buttons and the other, the other half. There is a third that you should not use because it gives different events with each press!

I don't get how to do this in Event Ghost? I have the "Plugin: Keyboard" listed on the right-hand side, but I can't add anything to it. And in the Actions list, there's no option for adding a keyboard action.
I'm having a problem with video playlists in XBMC. Once I view the playlist, I can't exit it with the MCE remote. I have the Back button on the remote set up to go back/close windows, but it simply won't work on the playlist screen.
If I hit ESC on the keyboard, then I can finally get out of the playlist. The trick is trying to get my remote to do the same thing.

Hi guy's!
Tricky question, but I hope someone can help me.
I had Eventghost and MCE Remote running perfect with XBMC.
I had to reinstall Win7, and therefore i made a backup of my setup file.
When Win7 is installed I install Eventghost and loads my previously saved setup.
But no events are discovered from the remote.
I get events if i uncheck the "Disable HID Service..." but then the remote wants to control MCE.
Am I missing some basic setup? PLS help

Great app! I ordered a generic VRC-1100 MCE remote and mapped it with EG + a VRC-1100.XML script for the RC's mouse pad. All buttons working and customized for XBMC!
Thanks for this piece of kit!

Has anyone got hd-plex mce remote http://www.hd-plex.com/hdplex-internal-m...ntrol.html working with eventghost? I haven't even if I tried to do as in instructions above in this thread.
Here's some info about the remote:
-Native windows HID driver support, sames as USB keyboard, no additional driver needed. (So I suppose the remote is somehow preconfigured. Is this normal/good thing?)
- Standard RC6 Remote
-Support Logitech Universal Remote (MCE-1039 device in database)
And here the problem:
I tried to install the eventghost mce remote plugin first but eventghost doesn't show any logs appearing in eventghost log panel when I push any button from remote. Then I tried to install another mce remote plugin (if I recall, it's name was mce remote vista/win7 or something. Found that from the plugin list and decided to give a try) but had no better results. Windows media center does operate like a charm with the remote but what I want to do is that I can program a button from remote to launch xmbc.
I reinstalled eventghost and noticed after fresh startup that eventghost requires Speedlink SL-6399 MCE -plugin according to startup event log. I installed that plugin from the "add plugin" and finally got some results: when I push i.e num 1 from remote, eventghost shows that in log panel and I can drag that event log to work with an action of xbmc plugin (for example start xbmc.exe). When I push num 1 from remote, xbmc launch! But unfortunately when I push play, stop, pause or rewind or many other buttons, the event log panel shows different kind of log and I cannot drag that to right panel to work with any xbmc action. So I can launch xbmc but i can't control xbmc anymore. Before I installed eventghost, I was able to control xbmc but couldn't launch it. No it's opposite lol.
Some information about the pic: speedLink.DVD log with a lighting icon represents ummm I think somekind of dvd-menu button from the remote. The log (#3, 0, 19, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 with an info icon) after spedlink.dvd represents play-button. Two next are stop and rewind. And last are num-buttons. I don't understand, why play, stop and rewind buttons are different and why I can't drag them to the right panel so that I can program my remote to function as xbmc launcher.

I am having a problem..EventGhost recognizes my keypresses and I set for instance the Enter button to do something..but in XBMC when I press enter it still performs the default action.
Do I have to disable the windows handler for my remote or something? Driving me nuts.

These must-have mobile apps will help you navigate your way through China. Download them before you go.
Taking your iGadget to China with you? Here are five must-have apps that work offline.
Pleco Dictionary (free)
In Beijing or Shanghai you can get by using only English, but once you are off in the provinces making pointless hand gestures every five seconds, that is when Pleco will come in handy. Look up words in English, pinyin (Mandarin transliteration) or by stroke order (I have yet to come across a character it does not recognise). For an extra $14.99 ($11.99 for students) you can get the full-screen handwriting add-on, which can identify and define characters written on the screen. If ever had a Chinese person try to communicate with you by tracing invisible characters on the palm of his or her hand, you will know just how useful this feature is.
Xiangqi ($0.99)
Yup, bus and train rides in China can be pretty long. But rather than plug in your headphones, try out this Chinese chess game with your neighbour. Unless you have been playing since birth your chances of winning are slim, but you will definitely break the ice and make some new friends. You can also play against the computer to improve your skills (recommended).
ExploreMetro maps ($0.99)
Explore puts out metro maps for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. They are easy to use, up to date (no easy feat in Shanghai) and work offline. Very handy, especially when they have run out of paper maps at the stations.
Pocket Timetable ($2.99)
Imagine... China's entire train schedule in your pocket. This is a major change from the days when you would have to wait half an hour in line just to find out when the next train to Chengdu was leaving. Pocket Timetable's search function is powerful: you can easily determine departure and arrival times and choose the most convenient option, and results are displayed in English and Chinese - critical for usability. If you use it online, you can also access features such as pricing and the number of tickets remaining from A to B for any given day.
Lonely Planet phrasebook ($5.99)
So you have the dictionary to help you out with specific vocab, but if you want to actually speak Chinese? Lonely Planet's Mandarin Phrasebook is in audio format, and will have you ordering dumplings and bargaining like a local in no time. A good search function and helpful categories make it even easier to use than the print version.
The article 'Top 5 China apps' was published in partnership with Lonely Planet.

Before his appointment, he served as the chief judge on the Macomb County Circuit Court and worked as an attorney for Dickinson Wright law firm in Detroit and Jenner & Block law firm in Chicago. He also attended Hillsdale College and the University of Michigan Law School.
"The keynote speaker for this event should be someone who demonstrates consistent ethics and integrity in his or her practice," said Lisa Halushka, Cooley Law School's acting associate dean at the Auburn Hills campus. "Justice Viviano, with his reputation for candor, fairness and measured temperament, will be a great fit for our keynote speaker and we are so proud to have him speak to our students."
The Professionalism in Action Orientation is held for incoming students at the beginning of every term. Past group discussion participants include: Chief Judge Gerald Rosen of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Judge Kurtis Wilder, Judge Cynthia Stephens, Justice Brian Zahra, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, former Detroit Metropolitan Bar Association President Douglas Hampton, and several former presidents of the State Bar of Michigan, including Thomas Cranmer, Edward Pappas, Charles Toy, W.

ASL Interpreters, Inc. is a full-service interpreting agency that provides qualified professional sign language interpreters in the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, markets.
A certified small and minority-owned business, ASL Interpreters, Inc. was founded to provide service to local deaf communities. While many interpreting companies have expanded rapidly into various markets, ASL Interpreters, Inc. has remained focused on the need for providing quality accommodations within local communities. Our roots help us to recognize the importance of consistency as well as consumers' language needs and preferences.
A guiding philosophy of ASL Interpreters, Inc. is that sign language interpretation is not just about providing communication access to deaf consumers, it's also about providing the same access to hearing consumers.
To us, part of providing quality sign language interpreting services is ensuring that the communication needs of both deaf and hearing individuals are met.
Robert Soderholm started his professional interpreting business in 1998 as a sole proprietorship serving clients in the central Virginia region. His agency quickly expanded over the years to serve the Fredericksburg, Tidewater, Charlottesville, and Roanoke, Virginia, areas.
2004 was a milestone in the company's history, as Robert increased his clientele and branched out into the federal government sector to serve deaf federal employees. In 2005, Robert incorporated the business as ASL Interpreters, Inc., which now serves clients throughout Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland.
Why should I use ASL Interpreters, Inc.? Why not find interpreters myself?
In short, we spend the time finding an appropriate match for your deaf client(s) so that you don't have to.
Why do I need to provide interpreters, anyway?
It's the right thing to do, and it's the law.

Need for speed: Sally Pearson has been forced to reinvent her racing style as her career has evolved. Photo: James Brickwood
This is not how Sally Pearson used to run. This is how Sally Pearson has had to learn to race.
The ''angry white girl'' to her rivals was never beaten. Not then. The gun cracked, Sally hit the first hurdle already with a break on the field. Snap. She hit the next in front, too. Snap. By the time she hit the fourth hurdle the race was over. No one would get near her.
Sally snapped out hurdles like drummers rap snare drums. She beat a drum to the line and claimed the gold.
But not now. Her body hasn't allowed it to be like that for two years.
Which is not to say it will not be again, but not since she did a hamstring badly last year – then did it not-quite-as-badly this year – has she stood on the blocks with that imperious knowledge she had when she was at her peak that no one would get close to her. Don't hit a hurdle. Win.
For two years she has been running as an athlete scrambling against time to get close to her physical peak. Her body has been her biggest obstacle, forcing her to run in the hope that she was fit enough. It is the same this year.
"I know what shape I am in and what I can produce and I hope that is enough. It is hard with hurdles but between 12.6 seconds or 12.7 seconds could possibly win it. I am hoping that because that is what shape I am in," she said this week ahead of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
"It is about who is the most competitive athlete on the day and I think I definitely have those qualities to produce the win."
In Lucerne a fortnight ago, Pearson ran and beat Brianna Rollins, the American who had defeated her at the world championships last year. She might have come away encouraged to have beaten a bona fide rival. She didn't. She came away dejected.
She was not quick enough. Everything about the meet was a mess and she got nothing out of it. It was a waste.
Things changed in London. If sport is about belief as much as physical ability, this was the penny-drop moment for her that she could yet win gold.
She ran in the Mall in front of the Queen's house and came third. She was behind Rollins and behind Briton Tiffany Porter whom she will face in Glasgow. But she came away feeling better than she did before. She came away with belief.
"She looked around at the hotel and there is Aries Merritt, Olympic champion and world record holder, coming back from injury, Allyson Felix injured and coming back, Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce injured and coming back and she realised I am not alone, this is what happens," said Maurie Plant, a friend and commentator.
"Then she looks at Yohan Blake, injured for two years. Mo Farah had the best two years of any athlete and he has had to pull out. [Usain] Bolt has been injured and had surgery." These are her peers.
Change has been subtle but significant. These are the first championships she has competed in without her long-term coach Sharon Hannan. The pair split after Moscow, Pearson believing she needed a fresh voice.
So when Pearson came home behind Porter and Rollins she was smiling when she crossed the line. Why? Because she was fast again. Porter was quicker that day but significantly for Pearson she had seen her own time continue to drop and she felt she could get there in time. She had shaved a few of the last hurdles costing her time, but that was a subtle technical change she could fix. The key was her start was blistering.
"I crossed that finish line with a smile on my face because I knew that race was a lot better than what I had done in my previous races and I knew from then on I had a chance to win this Commonwealth Games," she said.
"Tiffany's times are going up and down so her times were definitely down the other day whereas my times are constantly coming down all season so that is the edge I have over her that I am consistently dropping my times and hopefully by then my times will dramatically drop and cross that finish line with gold medal."
Competing in London made all the difference. She needed racing and to see her time come down. Frustratingly, then she had to deal with the bloody mindedness of her own sport which had decided to fine her because she competed in London and skipped the team camp in Newcastle. It was a matronly, doctrinaire approach that only aggravated Australia's best athlete. Pearson will hold her counsel until after the games but has made clear her dissatisfaction.
Pearson should have been beginning her campaign on the track on Sunday but will now hold herself for the hurdles. That she dropped the sprint was no surprise. As she indicated in the Athletics Australia sideshow over funding, she didn't need another distraction. And the sprint would have been another distraction.
She is not back to her peak but she is getting close. But she has that belief back. It might be enough.

text: LAHORE - The Supreme Court was moved Wednesday to curtail powers of Council of Islamic Ideology (CII). Watan Party chairman filed a petition in the SC Lahore Registry stating that Council of Islamic Ideology introduced such recommendations which were against the local laws. The Council, he alleged, did not consider Islamic historical perspective while introducing such recommendations to the Parliament which was tantamount to exceeding its own limits. The petitioner said that the Council of Islamic Ideology had declared over 700 international laws as illegal and Un-Islamic. He pleaded the court to curtail the powers of the Council so that there would be no contradiction in laws.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

Ugadi Story<\/p>
\n\nThere is a deomon called Somakasura, which stole the Vedas from Lord Brahma and hide in Sea. Lord Brahma asks help from Lord Vishnu in return of Vedas from Somakasura. Lord Vishnu takes \u201cMacha Avatharam\u201d, which is one of the 10 incarnations of Vishnu and kill the demon (Somakasura). Later, lord Vishnu returns Vedas to Brahma and Brahma started creating the world on Ugadi.\n\nYugadi means Yuga Adi, which means beginning of year\/ age. According to the Telugu people belief, on the day of Ugadi, Brahma started creating the world and writes the fates of People. One year is equal to one day to the Brahma. Every year Lord Brahma started his day and write fates of people. Current Ugadi is called as \u201cDurmukha Nama Samvastsaram\u201d.\n\nAccording to the Indian History, the Ugadi is celebrated from the times of Mahabharata, but they are not celebrated as per the \u201cChaitra Suddha Padyami\u201d they celebrate on next day of Makara Sankranti. In Hindu\u2019s culture, the first day of Chaitra Sudha Padyami has very importance. People from ages celebrate this day with great devotion.

How's is it going to be? Is it useful? Am I wasting my time? How's the venue going to be? And the food? These were the questions I had before entering the venue, the meet. Once I entered the place, I was mesmerized. Seriously, this was the first time I actually attended a professional event, and I felt really comfortable at the place. I walked in along with two of my friends. As usual, we were enjoying the place, the moments of 'Stumagz' in a cool banquet hall. Then started the event, with a short speech by 'the CEO' of Stumagz. <\/p>
Alright! It's totally fine till here. Then came the fun part, \"The Jive\". It went of for a quite good time. Of course, I didn't dance or 'Jive' if you prefer saying it that way. ;) Then the speech went on for a very long time. But I promise, It wasn't boring. No matter whoever it is, It feels so good to hear someone actually telling stories, I felt the same too. Meanwhile, I enjoyed looking at pretty girls at the place(Being frank) :D<\/p>
Now It's almost lunch time and I guess everyone were hungry, Of course I was hungry. :P But it's okay, It's worth waiting for Stumagz ;) We were divided into groups. Groups consisting writers, creative, Techie, Executives. We didn't know each other, It was exciting, It was fun interacting to people. Then we proceeded for lunch, followed by distribution of coupons for Wonderla and Grabon. The best part was getting a chance to meet the head of Wonderla, and Founder(If i'm not wrong) of Grabon. <\/p>
Let me conclude by saying that this was one of the best days I had so far. A chance to meet people with talent from different colleges, different places was really fantastic. Peace!!<\/p>"}]
Do suicide victims go to Hell?<\/p>
This is the number one question people ask me. If I thought my loved one was going to Hell I\u2019d ask that question too! Religion appears to doom people to Hell if they take their own life. I guess it\u2019s considered a sin. Suiciders (sorry had to make up a word) do not go to Hell. At least, not the Christian Hell with the devil, the eternal torture, and decaf.\n\nHell is a state of mind. So technically you could put yourself in a self-imposed Hell if you are suffering from guilt, shame, and if you fear judgment. I don\u2019t recommend it, but some people insist on doing this to themselves. If you do find yourself in Hell you\u2019ll want to beat a hasty retreat. Read up on How To Get Out of Hell.\n\nBottom line here is that no one is relegated to Hell for ending his life. If during your Life Review you feel you\u2019ve done so much wrong that you can\u2019t be forgiven, you are free to flog yourself for eternity, but it is neither required nor necessary, and I don\u2019t recommend it. Forgive yourself instead, learn from your mistakes, and move on.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459957232583","data":"
Do suiciders linger or cross over?<\/p>
\nI\u2019ve encountered both.\n\nI\u2019ve been in contact with people who killed themselves, shed their mortal coil, sloughed off their ego, and bounced happily and merrily into the light to greet friends and family on the other side. The commonalities I\u2019ve seen in this group are people who understand in advance that suicide is not a sin, who understand or are aware of how things work on the other side, and those who are not ashamed or feel guilty about ending their life prematurely. They cross over happily and easily.\n\nI\u2019ve also been in contact with suiciders who linger, who refuse to go into the light because of fear, shame or guilt. They don\u2019t want to be judged. So they hang on as long as they can, usually by attaching themselves to a family member and using their energy to stay connected to Earth.\n\nOthers realize they made a mistake and are desperate to get back to their bodies, so they hang on for a bit too. Some linger to get forgiveness from their living loved ones, or in an attempt to ease their loved ones\u2019 pain. Some linger because they\u2019re still carrying depression and can\u2019t slough it off.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459957274359","data":"
Who helps or manages suiciders?<\/p>
\nThose who suicide and linger are not alone. Not by a long shot. There are angels hovering around them to help them heal and cross over. And the angels guard them so they are not disturbed by other beings hanging around on the same plane. The angels try to help them forgive themselves so they can cross over peacefully.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459957298544","data":"
Are they suffering? <\/p>
Some of the suiciders who linger do appear to be suffering emotionally. Again, this is unnecessary and hopefully will not last long. But I have encountered some spirits who replay and repeat the misery in their lives over and over again and continue to wallow in depression, despair, and emotional turmoil until they can be crossed over by the angels. If you suspect your loved one is in this state, it is even more important to help them cross over by talking to them, encouraging them to go into the light, and to forgive themselves.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459957324503","data":"
What sort of signs do suiciders send to their loved ones? <\/p>
Pretty much the same signs you\u2019ll get from any deceased loved one trying to get your attention.\n\nYou might feel their presence near you\nTheir special song comes on the radio when you\u2019re thinking about them\nClock stops\nElectrical disturbances for no apparent reason\nPictures or photographs get knocked over\nSmelling their scent<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459957480038","data":"
The game of life\nRemember that life is like a game. You make a character, start the game, and do the best you can with the resources you get. If you get to a point where playing the game is simply too painful, you can choose to stop playing. Sometimes you don\u2019t realize that help was a phone call away, or right around the corner, but it\u2019s not the end of the world.\n\nSuiciding does leave a hole in the lives of those other characters you were interacting with, the ones who love you, and would have helped you if they could. So before you consider suicide, always ask for help. If you do find yourself at the end of your rope (literally) at the very least cross over with love and forgiveness in your heart. There really is no need to beat yourself up for your decision. And avoid Hell. Decaf sucks. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>"}]

The first modern Olympic Games, which started 120 years ago was honored in Google Doodle, included something more commonly associated with entitled children than ancient Greeks: a participation trophy. All 250 participants went home with a bronze medal. That's not the only way the first modern Olympics, which revived a 1,500-year-old ancient Greek tradition, differed from today's glitzy, highly produced, occasionally corruption-soaked spectacle. Although the first modern Olympics were unrecognizable in many ways \u2014 there were no women, no national teams, and only nine sporting events \u2014 the story of the run-up to the first modern Olympics sounds awfully familiar: The host country was in political turmoil, and hosting the event turned out to be much, much more expensive than anyone had anticipated.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1460024964825","data":"5706369810d0a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459955747320","data":"
American athletes dominated the competition<\/p>
The first American Olympians were 14 men, mostly from the Boston area and from Princeton. The mother of one of the Princeton athletes paid for their travel. Two athletes had to drop out of Harvard in order to compete because they weren't given permission to miss class in order for the Olympics. But the Americans ended up dominating the competition, winning 11 first-place honors \u2014 which were silver medals, because gold medals wouldn't be given out for another eight years. <\/p>
The Greeks had the second most victories. Athletes competed in 43 events in nine sports: swimming, gymnastics, track, cycling, wrestling, weightlifting, fencing, shooting, and tennis Robert Garrett, who won the discus event, had never used a real discus until he started participating in the competition. He'd had a blacksmith make him a practice version based on ancient Greek records; it turned out to be a foot wide and 30 pounds in weight, making it impossible to throw and more than 25 pounds heavier than the real thing. Garrett didn't find out what a discus really was until he got to Greece and saw the 8-inch, 4.4-pound discs the Greek athletes were practicing with. But he entered the competition anyway and stunned the spectators and the other athletes \u2014 all of them Greek \u2014 by winning. Thomas Custis, one of the American athletes, described the win in 1924 in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Technology Review: \n\nHis first two attempts\u2026 were laughable, as the discus, instead of sailing parallel to the ground, turned over and over and narrowly missed hitting some of the audience. Both foreigners and Americans laughed at his efforts, he, himself, joining in the general merriment. \"On his third and last throw, however, he succeeded in getting the discus away perfectly and, to the chagrin of the Greek champion who had made three perfect throws in the most graceful manner possible, it was found that Garrett's throw exceeded by some two feet the best throw of any other man. I think no one was more surprised than Robert Garrett himself.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1460024981169","data":"570636a9323e1"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1459956042764","data":"
The 1896 Olympics also featured the first modern marathon But the Greeks got their own dramatic moment at the marathon, an event created for the 1896 Olympics (although distances weren't as precise). According to Custis, 30 athletes started but only seven finished \u2014 and the winner, in two hours and 58 minutes, was a Greek water-carrier named Spyridon \"Spyros\" Louis: All contests then in progress were temporarily stopped to await the arrival of the winner. <\/p>
In the course of a few minutes, a tremendous cheering was heard outside the gate of the Stadium, and a man in the dress of a Greek peasant ran up the steps and onto the track, making his way towards the King's throne, in front of which had been placed the finish line. His appearance showed the tremendous effort that he had made, and the fearful ordeal he had undergone. He was covered with dust and grime, the sandals that he wore on his feet were in rags, and his drawn face showed the strain he had suffered. His name was \"Loues\" and he was a Greek donkey driver from the little town of Marousi. As soon as the people were able to recognize him, the cheering and clapping of hands that broke forth were deafening. <\/p>
Hundreds of pigeons which had been kept concealed until then were set free, with Greek flags tied to their feet, hats were thrown in the air, the Crown Prince walked onto the track and congratulated Loues, and all the pent-up enthusiasm that the Greeks had been saving up during the past six months for this very event, broke loose with a vengeance. Louis became a national hero and will soon be featured on a Greek \u20ac2 coin \u2014 an even bigger deal than the honor for most modern Olympic champions, a Wheaties box.<\/p>"}]
