Bhavans Tostmasters Club celebrated Onam, Kerala's state festival on 2nd September 2017 at the Smart Indian School, Jleeb Al Shuyoukh, Kuwait.
The celebrations kick-started with the welcome speech by TM Sunil Thomas, the VP Public Relations in which he beautifully explained the legend behind the Onam. Master Emmanuel Roshan Jaiby who disguised himself as Mahabali, blessed the audience and expressed his wishes to come back to Kerala to meet his people.
The sanguine TM Sindumol conducted the Table Topics session which focused on topics related to Onam. A few members spoke about their happiest memories of Onam celebrations, which were reminiscent of the celebrations with families back home in Kerala, India. It was followed by a couple of interesting Onam games organized by TM Noble, TM Thomas Selvan and TM Sunil Thomas, in which the audience participated vigorously.
The most significant part of the celebrations was the 'Ona Sadya,' the traditional Onam Meals of Kerala with a wide range of vegetable curries, rice, and payasams.
People belonging to different religions, states, languages and nations sat together and enjoyed the delicious food which was served in banana leaves. The food was prepared and served by the ardent Toastmasters whole heartedly.
An Onam celebration is not complete without the' Onappattukal' (Onam Songs). All the participants joyfully joined together in the rendering of melodious songs lead by TM Mahesh Iyer. The Thiruvathira performed by the Madam Toastmasters along with the daughters of TM Bhavitha Bright, TM Sheeba Premugh and TM Sindumol was a treat to the eyes. It was indeed a spirited performance, and the initiative took by TM Bhavitha became a grand success. Two boys, Vachan Premugh and Bebin Bright took the crowd by surprise with their delicate dance movements on the podium. Miss Medha Vidyanathan, a student in third standard sang the Malayalam song 'Indu pushpam choodi nilkkum Rathri' with ease and composure. There were pleasing poems recited by TM Sasi Krishnan, and TM Suresh V. Balakrishnan. TM Suresh in his speech portrayed his memorable Onam celebration which he celebrated with the Ona Sadya at his friend's house many years back in Kerala, India. He rightly conveyed the message of Onam through his excellent speech.
The celebration was wound up with a vote of thanks by TM Thomas Selvan, the Club President. The ambience resembled a traditional Onam celebration in Kerala. Children and Toastmasters lead by TM Sasi Krishnan designed the vibrant 'BTC' in flowers - a traditional ' Athappookkalam' and all the participants were in traditional Kerala Dress. The meeting once again reiterated the spirit of Indians living abroad. When it comes to festivals like Onam, people set aside all the differences and celebrate them with a sense of oneness, togetherness, love, respect and understanding.
By celebrating Onam in grandeur, Bhavans Toastmasters Club had added one more feather in its cap, and had given a new dimension to a Toastmasters Club Meeting. A meeting can be informal, entertaining and at the same time be educative as well.
The club membership is open to all nationalities and for more details and membership please contact: Vice President Membership TM Anilkumar, Mob:99320125 President TM Thomas Selvan, Mob: 51714124.

The bets are being settled following the World Series; LeBron in a Cubs uniform, Cedar Point will temporarily name it's Top Thrill Dragster to "Top Thrill Cubster" on opening weekend. But the bet where everybody wins came between the Bishops who run the Cleveland and Chicago Catholic Dioceses. Both agreed to honor their bets -- regardless who won. Cleveland will get deep dish pizza and baked good for 100, while a Cleveland-style feast for 100 of pierogi, kielbasa, sauerkrat and green beans will be enjoyed by the needy in Chicago.
- - -
(Cleveland Catholic Diocese) The leaders of the home Catholic dioceses for the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians have decided that giving back generously, so the poor in both cities can share in the win, should be the final result of their wager.
Archbishop Blase J. Cupich promised enough Chicago deep dish pizzas and baked goods to feed more than 100 guests of the Bishop William M. Cosgrove Center in Cleveland, Ohio, if the Cubs lost the World Series. Bishop Richard G. Lennon answered the challenge by offering to provide a Cleveland-style feast for more than 100 guests of the evening supper program for the homeless, sponsored by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, if the Indians were defeated.
"Both teams put up a great effort, both cities very much wanted this victory, and today Chicago is giving thanks for this blessing," said Archbishop Cupich. "Our city is celebrating with our Cubs, and we want to include our friends in Cleveland."
Chicago deep dish pizzas and Misericordia Hearts and Flour Bakery treats, as well as the Cleveland-style feast, will be delivered to both the Cosgrove Center in Cleveland, and to the evening supper program in Chicago.
"Although we hoped the Indians would come out on top, we humbly accept our defeat and congratulate our friends to the west in Chicago," said Bishop Lennon. "We are thankful for the pizzas and dessert, and hope Chicago enjoys a taste of Cleveland on us. We'll be back next year!"
The pizzas and their transportation are being donated by Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, known as the home of the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. Misericordia's Hearts & Flour Bakery will deliver their homemade baked goods. Italian Creations, of Lakewood, Ohio, will deliver a meal of pierogi, kielbasa, sauerkraut and green beans.
A Cedar Point ride will temporarily have a name that'll sting for Indians fans.
The Sandusky amusement park made a wager with the Six Flags Great America amusement park near Chicago...and since the Cubs won the World Series, Cedar Point will rename "Top Thrill Dragster" to "Top Thrill Cubster"...but only for 2017's opening weekend.
Cedar Point workers also made a video of them singing "Go Cubs Go".
Making good on our wager with @SFGreat_America. And in May, #TopThrillDragster will be renamed "Top Thrill Cubster". pic.twitter.com/pgsWl7JGF6— Cedar Point (@cedarpoint) November 4, 2016
(Cedar Point, Facebook) It wasn't the way we wanted it to end, but we're paying up! Congrats to the Chicago Cubs on their history-making World Series win! In their honor, and to make good on Six Flags Great America/Hurricane Harbor's wager, here's our video. And on 2017's opening weekend, Top Thrill Dragster will be renamed "Top Thrill Cubster". What a great season, Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs!
Two days after losing the World Series to the Chicago Cubs, the Cleveland Indians are wasting no time in making moves.
And the Indians have exercised the two-year club option on manager Terry Francona, keeping the skipper through 2020.
"A really easy decision and actually something we had talked about a while ago," Antonetti said at the team's year-end wrapup press conference Friday at Progressive Field. "He's made a huge difference on our franchise, and having him going forward as a partner is something we're really excited about."
And also on board for another year is Carlos Santana...his 2017 option has been extended as well.
"I think his play speaks for itself, and the performance he had this year," Antonetti said, "both on the field, the mindset that he had, his team first approach, his willingness to do anything to help the team made the decision to exercise his option really easy for us as well."
Antonetti and general manager Mike Chernoff say that there's a range of emotions among the team, from pain from the loss ...to pride in the season.
(Previous coverage) The Cleveland Indians have announced Friday that they have excercised the 2019 and 2020 club options on Manager Terry Francona and the 2017 club option on fristbaseman/DH Carlos Santana.
The Indians are coming off of their first World Series appearance in 19 years.
Details regarding today's moves are listed in the press release below:
CLEVELAND, OH - The Cleveland Indians today announced the following roster moves relative to the 2016 Major League roster:
Exercised the 2019 and 2020 club options on Manager TERRY FRANCONA.
Exercised the 2017 club option on DH/1B CARLOS SANTANA.
Francona, 57, recently guided Cleveland to its sixth American League pennant in 2016, compiling a regular season record of 94-67 (.584) followed by a postseason 10-5 mark. During his four-year stint as Indians manager, the club has qualified for the postseason play two times and finished with a winning mark in each of those seasons. He owns a 352-294 (.545) mark as Indians manager, the 6th-highest winning pct. in the 116-year history of the franchise. He is 8th all-time in club history in managerial wins. He owns a 16-year career managerial mark of 1381-1209 (.533), the fifth-highest win total among active managers, and has led his clubs to 12 consecutive winning seasons.
Santana, 30, is coming off his best Major League season, hitting .259 (151-582) with 89 runs, 31 doubles, 3 triples, 34 home runs and 87 RBI in 158 games, collecting single-season career bests in homers, extra-bases hits (68), total bases (290), RBI, hits, OPS (.865) & runs. He finished tied for the club lead in homers (T-14th in the American League) and was 3rd in the A.L. in walks (99) and 8th in on-base pct. (.366). His 34 homers were the most by a Major League switch-hitter since 2011. Over the last 15 games of the regular season he batted .411 (23-56) with 7 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR and 13 RBI.

SEOUL, South Korea — The Latest on the tensions on the Korean Peninsula (all times local):
6:20 p.m.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that any new sanctions against North Korea would be "dangerous."
Lavrov and Tillerson spoke by phone late Wednesday, several hours after President Donald Trump said on Twitter that "talking is not the answer" when it comes to dealing with North Korea.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a read-out of the call that both Lavrov and Tillerson condemned North Korea for firing a midrange ballistic missile Japan earlier this week and called for dialogue.
Lavrov told Tillerson that Russia urges all parties to avoid a military solution to the crisis and added that Moscow views any new potential sanctions against North Korea as "counterproductive and dangerous."
6:10 p.m.
China's Defense Ministry says war is not an option in finding a solution to North Korea's growing nuclear capabilities.
Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Ren Guoqiang told reporters Thursday that all parties should exercise restraint and avoid words and actions that escalate tension.
This came a day after President Donald Trump declared that "talking is not the answer" on North Korea. On Thursday, the U.S. flew some of its most advanced warplanes in bombing drills with ally South Korea— responses to Pyongyang's test launch of a ballistic missile over Japan on Tuesday.
Ren said it's China's position that "military means cannot be an option for resolving this issue."
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted: "The U.S. has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer!"
The statement raised fresh uncertainty about the Trump administration's strategy for North Korea.

Is there anything a head unit can't do these days? The Mongoose Q260 is the brand's current top of the line head unit, double-DIN sized, with GPS, CD and DVD playing, music, video and photos from a range of media, hands-free Bluetooth telephone operation, and expandability. All for just under a thousand dollars. Wow!
The Mongoose Q260 is dominated by a large LCD display. A CD/DVD slot runs across the top, with a narrow column of controls and connections sitting to the left, thanks to the majority of cars in the world being left hand drive. Dominating that column is the rotary volume control – really, the only thing to have in car – which doubles as mute and power. Also on the panel are the disc eject key, the selector for the GPS system and the menu key (effectively, the home page). At the bottom is a flip-out panel which reveals a MicroSD card slot, a USB socket and a 3.5mm A/V jack. Even though this supports video, its main use is for the ad hoc plugging in of audio players.
The 6.2 inch (157mm) display is presented in a 16:9 (1.78:1) aspect ratio. Mongoose specifies the resolution as 800 by 480 pixels, which would make for a 5:3 (1.67:1) aspect ratio if the pixels were square. There doesn't seem to be much room for the top and bottom of the screen to be masked off, so I guess the pixels aren't square. The screen is, of course, touch sensitive so for a lot of your interaction you won't need to stretch that far.
The four amps are rated at 41 watts each into 4-ohms, but you can ignore them if you like and make use of the pre-outs to feed separate amps.
In addition to the front inputs there are three wiring looms. A fixed one is for AM/FM antenna (you get 30 presets), microphone in (for hands-free calls), USB and reversing camera in. You supply the reversing camera, the microphone comes with the unit. An iPod/iPhone 30 pin to USB plus video adaptor cable is provided (it also works with a Lightning cable, but you'll have to supply that). If you're using the video connection, this should be attached to the video input on one of the other looms.
The main loom uses standard ISO 10487 connectors for loudspeakers and power (the unit requires switched power on pin 4, unswitched on pin 7, rather than the other way around). This loom also has loose wires for steering wheel controls (there's a setup facility in the head unit to associate on wheel controls with the unit's operations) plus reverse and brake, in case you want to wire in some operational restrictions. The final loom is all input and output: pre outs for the four channels plus subwoofer, video out for a rear display, and A/V in.
In addition to entertainment, the Q260 provides GPS navigation using the Sygic system. A separate antenna attachment point is provided, along with the receiver unit on the end of enough cable to allow effective placement.
The unit was very intuitive in use. I do prefer rotary volume controls to push button ones, and it took only a moment to work out that a quick press on it muted the sound, while holding it in switched off the unit. The main display screen needs a positive press on control spots rather than an iPad-like brush of the finger.
It was clear and bright from any reasonable viewing angle. Sometimes I thought the 'Home' button at the top left of the screen was a touch too close to the body, making it a bit hard to access. But that also made it very easy to select by touch alone without looking. There are a bunch of wallpapers you can choose from, plus there are adjustments for screen brightness. Audio format support is pretty basic: MP3 and WMA, and that's it. If you keep your music collection in FLAC or, more likely, the .m4a-tagged version of AAC that iTunes prefers, then you'll need to duplicate it in MP3 (or WMA) if you want to use it with USB or microSD. Or just use your portable player to serve the music up to the head unit. iPod, iPhone and so on can go digital via USB, but how usable this is depends on which device you're using. The on screen interface is not a good way to get at your music if you have more than a rather small amount. It displays five items at a time and a swipe down style operation is uncertain at best, so you're reduced to paging down five items at a time.
With several hundred artists and albums, that makes for slow progress. If your player is iOSbased, that doesn't matter too much because you can just do your selections from the device's screen. But the head unit takes over iPod Classics and Nanos, so the only way to control them is via the Mongoose's interface, or by unplugging the player to select music, then plugging it back in.
Unless you start the player in 'Song' mode, and you happen to know the track number. I discovered that of the 4607 tracks on my old iPod Classic, number 666 was Black Sabbath's 'Killing Yourself to Live'. If you're not too fussy, you can just select 'Random' and enjoy a sampling of your iPod's contents.
There's a 12-band equaliser to tweak the tonal balance of the sound to best suit your car, speakers and the kind of music playing, as well as to beat road noise. The spacing of the bands is a little haphazard, with some quite close together. At the bottom, the gap between 60 and 80Hz is only about 4/10ths of an octave, while the space between 2500 and 10,000Hz is a full two octaves. That said, you have some flexibility due to the adjustable 'Q' for each frequency (a smaller 'Q' broadens the band of operation, a larger Q narrows it).
There are two 'Custom' presets for this, plus five named presents (including 'Flat'). Adjustment is a little complicated, presumably due to the adjustable 'Q'. Rather than just dragging the sliders up and down, you select one of three groups (strangely named LPF, MPF and HPF – low pass and high pass are not at all what they do). Then you select the frequency to be adjusted within the group and raise or lower it as required by tapping on the + or – marks. Needless to say, we would suggest you don't try this while on the move.
On the same page is the balance adjustment, with a convenient drag-able icon. You can move it around on a neat map of the four speakers. You're generally going to nudge it more accurately using the arrows, though. There's also a separate slider for the subwoofer output level (if you have one). Missing are facilities to time align the different channels.
The crossover frequency for the subwoofer is in the 'Settings' menu and you have four options for this: fl at, 160, 120 or 80 hertz. This switches off or sets the low pass filter to the subwoofer, but not a high pass filter to the other speakers. Pity, since they will generally be just wasting power that could be used for the higher frequencies.
I used the Q260 both with and without subwoofer. Even without, it sounded rather good, with plenty of volume on tap and good clean sound. Bass remained as strong as the speakers permitted and was well controlled.
In operation, the DVD player worked smoothly, with a decent enough picture quality. If wanting to get really picky, I'd note that it clearly converted the 50Hz field rate of Australian DVDs to 60 hertz, making camera pans a little jerky. But, really, if you want home theatre, go home. Since the DVD (and other video) image fills the screen, control requires a tap on the screen to bring up the on screen controls. The unit also supports MP4 and Xvid video from other media. As always, the practice depends on the precise details of the encoding. It worked with an older low resolution MP4, but not with a relatively recent full HD one from the mobile phone.
The Bluetooth connectivity was useful, although somewhat fraught with the usual uncertainties surrounding Bluetooth. You can pair several devices and just pick the one you want to use from the menu. I tried it out with an LG Android phone and an iPod Nano. The phone paired and then connected easily, and then worked as you'd expect, playing music, pausing it when a call came in, resuming after the call. The hands-free microphone attachment worked clearly, although between the mobile via the Bluetooth connection and the Telstra network to the land line, and back again, there was a latency of around a second, so it was a bit like one of those satellite phone interviews you see on TV.
When I tried connecting the iPod, the Mongoose appeared on its screen, but it wouldn't appear on the Q260's screen until I hit the 'Settings' button and then returned. It seems that it required the screen refresh.
It played music perfectly well too. Of course you can control the iPod or phone with keys for play/pause and track skipping from the Mongoose's on-screen controls. However I had trouble handing things back to the LG phone afterwards. It connected, but the audio still came from the phone itself. Eventually I worked out that skipping a track using the control on the Mongoose put things right.
Mongoose issues? LG issues? iPod issues? Who knows. Bluetooth interoperability is a minefield when you're using multiple devices. If you've got more than one, just practice a bit to see what works.
The GPS system took a couple of minutes to fire up the first time while it searched for and found a bunch of satellites, and then it did the usual miraculous task of locating itself in 3D space. The graphics were perhaps best described as utilitarian, but nonetheless effective. The usual facilities of voice guidance to your destination and such are available. You can even take calls via a Bluetooth connection while continuing to use the navigation system.
If you're after a Double-DIN well-featured multimedia head unit at a reasonable price, you need to go check out the Mongoose Q260.

Skip to comments.Could employers begin asking for Facebook passwords on applications?
Posted on 11/30/2011 12:11:19 PM PST by Responsibility2nd
Job seekers asked to throw their privacy out the window
For all the good it can do, social networking also has its share of downsides. Putting personal information of any kind on the internet raises plenty of privacy concerns on its own, and handing over your username and password can be like giving away the keys to your very identity. But if you're in the process of seeking new employment, that may be exactly what you'll have to do.
The image below is a snapshot of an application from North Carolina for a clerical position at a police department. One of the required pieces of information is a disclosure of any social networking accounts, along with the username and password to access them.
Does this job application cross the line?
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Either way, I know what my answer is.
That question should read "Are you stupid enough to talk smack about fellow workers, superiors, or employers on the internet using your real name?"
First off, I would throw that application in the trash as I would not want to work for a company like that.
Second, I guess it is a private company and they can "do" what they want...Just don't give the government any ideas.
Let me guess. It's a two word answer. And the second word is 'you!'
I can see what they are doing, what they are posting and who their friends are. I do not need to hijack their identity.
applicant:... Ahhhh,...yes, that would be Lazmataz and 54321.
employer:...Security! Security! You are needed in HR!
They can ask all they want, I wont give it to them.
Bonified Occupational Qualification
They can't ask, under the law!
What is this Facebook?
1. The application is for a job with a police department.
2. This article is merely reflecting what is fairly common knowledge among many people that your internet fun life, can be an open window on you.
I've seen some younger people mostly, who have yet to learn about discretion, privacy, judgement, reputation, etc.
Combine their youth, with the foul language which too many of them use too freely, and yes, if I was an employer, I'd like to know before I hired some of the idiots.
They can ask.
I know what my answer would be.
"Whats a facespace or mytwit or what's that other thing you said?"
This is interesting on several levels.
1. It is an "old-school" paper application asking about "new-school" technology.
2. It's an application for a police dept job. The police. As ensuring security. And yet the form asks for a clear-text print your Facebook password for all the world to see right on the form. Brilliant. Why not throw in a request for the account number and password for your bank account while they are at it. Sheesh!
Let's see, my username is NOYDB and my password is ***********.
You didn't ask which site they were for, just if I had any accounts like facebook and what my usernames and passwords are...
Actually it's not an application for a private company, it's for a police department according to the article. Still, I wouldn't give them the information. If they want to search me up on the Internet, that's fair, I've put the stuff out there and it's findable. But giving them actual access to an account that they could post on or see private correspondence? Uh-uh. No way. That's over the line.
Do you do on-line banking or have a 401k?
Hey, if you got nothing to hide........... /s
What is this Facebook?
Our Customer Service Manager complained on Facebook about being called "A Professional A44Hole" by the owner of the company in a Manager's Meeting. Then he posts that no one is to be using Facebook during working hours.

Groupes de froid pour liquides - solutions pour applications industrielles
Liquid Media
The type of media to be cooled has a major influence on the type of chiller that can be used. Most processes use water- or oil-based fluids. Cooling of other fluids is also possible.
Water / glycol mixtures: Typical applications are the cooling of spindles in
machine tools and cooling of electrical enclosures with air-water heat exchangers. Water / glycol mixtures can transport heat efficiently and do not require special materials.
Deionized water: Typical applications are the direct cooling of components in a variable frequency drive and server racks data centres. Deionized water, being non-conductive, is often used where electrical components need to be directly cooled by a liquid. Since it is highly corrosive, components in contact with the media must be suitably resistant to corrosion e.g. stainless steel. Chillers for deionized water can also include a purification circuit to constantly maintain water quality at the required level.
Water-based emulsions: A typical application is the cooling of coolant in a milling or grinding machine. When the emulsion is clean, the chiller can be installed separately from the machine. Alternatively, the chiller can be installed directly on the filtration unit with the cooling coils immersed in the coolant tank. The heat capacity of such emulsions is slightly lower than that of water / glycol system.
Oil-based media: Typical applications include the cooling of hydraulic and cutting oils in machines. Oil has a relatively low heat capacity and therefore chillers need to be larger. Pump selection must also consider the viscosity and density of the medium.
Active or Passive Cooling?
When selecting the suitable type of chiller for an application, a main consideration is the desired coolant temperature. With an active cooling unit, the temperature of the media can be below that of the air or liquid being used to cool the system. Active systems use a refrigeration circuit to produce the desired cooling effect.
Passive cooling units do not include a refrigeration circuit and the temperature of the media will follow the air or liquid that is used to cool the system.

I discovered Kinfolk one wanderlusty afternoon post-call. The images made the everyday occurrences seem even more beautiful and inspiring than possible. So when an event popped up the same weekend I was due in London for a friend's birthday, it seemed like magic and luck were surely playing a part. Surrounded by florals, a simple meal and kindred company--my first Kinfolk experience has me undeniably giddy for more.
Sweet Ana and Tassja of Juniper & Lily (these two are just warm and welcoming personified) hosted the event and prepared such a beautiful meal for all of us . I am now convinced that every season should be welcomed this way.
It really doesn't get any better.

Marianum's Contribution to Church
Interview with the Rector, Father Silvano Maggiani
ROME, APRIL 29, 2006 (Zenit) - The pontifical faculty Marianum is the only one in Rome dedicated to Mariology -- studies on Mary.
In this interview with us, Servant of Mary Father Silvano Maggiani, rector of the faculty, explains the institution's theological contribution to the Church.
Father Maggiani is also president of the Association of Italian Professors of Liturgy, consultor of the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, and expert of the of the Italian episcopal conference's office of liturgical celebrations.
Q: The Marianum faculty is a unique institution in the world. What pleases you most about this pontifical faculty?
Father Maggiani: I am very pleased to say that there is great appreciation and recognition of the Marianum by the whole Church. Suffice it to think that not only in the jubilee year were the rites and prayers of the opening of the Holy Door worked on at the Marianum, but also those for the Marian year 1987-1988, and for numerous celebrations presided over by the Holy Father, among them the rites of the funeral of the Pope John Paul II and the conclave.
Father Ignacio Calabuig, may he rest in peace, was president of the Marianum for 12 years; together with other professors, he made a singular contribution to the Church, with the writing of numerous documents of the magisterium, for example Paul XVI's apostolic exhortation "Marialis Cultus," and he collaborated in the formulation of some liturgical books after the Second Vatican
Q: Which important personalities have been formed in the Marianum?
Father Maggiani: The faculty has influenced the formation of the laity, men and women religious, and presbyters. Some of them have the responsibility to teach Mariology in numerous faculties of theology, in addition to being directors of some important Marian shrines.
Q: In connection with the Chair "Woman and Christianity," instituted in your center, what relationship does the faculty see between Mary and women?
Father Maggiani: In Vatican Council II's "Lumen Gentium," Mary is situated in an organic way within the mystery of Christ and of the Church; the conciliar document is the basis of the doctrinal and theological renewal of the study of Mariology.
Mary object of the merciful love of God that, made fruitful by the Spirit, makes her the mother of his Son, Jesus. Mary can enlighten every believer, and in particular woman as woman. From this perspective is born the Chair "Woman and Christianity," which has as its object the in-depth examination and dissemination of woman, in Christian cultures and in the history of the Church, with particular attention to the problems of women today.
The majority of the professors of the Chair are women. In this context, Mary of Nazareth is considered as woman, as person, as woman of faith and, as woman, she responds to the fidelity of God; as our sister on the journey of faith, her role is to encourage women of every culture.
Q: Is there a special concern for the woman, handmaid of Mary?
Father Maggiani: The Marianum has always been concerned about women, especially for the woman handmaid of Mary; in fact, from this concern was born the Religious Sciences course in the year 1968, whose objective was to give a fundamental theological formation to women religious, to those who serve in the kitchen, in day-care centers, in hospitals, etc.
The faculty's concern for the education of women is strong and prevailing. Today the experience of "Religious Sciences" continues with the education especially of women religious, lay women and lay men, in the majority of cases from houses of formation or parishes.
Q: Is this reality of the Marianum lived only in Italy, or is it spread around the world?
Father Maggiani: In the United States, at the University of Dayton, Ohio, there is a Mariology institute incorporated academically to the Marianum, and in the name of the faculty offers courses for a licentiate and doctorate specializing in Mariology.
In Mexico there is a Mariology center with two locations: Mexico City and Guadalajara, with friars formed in the faculty in Rome who are now teaching on their own. The presence in Mexico is increasingly important for the order; in Mexico they have a very important interlocutor, who is Our Lady of Guadalupe. In fact, Mexican bishops take into consideration the formation of the Servants, and they ask for our support and help to speak of Mary in a theological way.
The faculty also collaborates with the Mariology center in the diocese of Oviedo, Spain, at the shrine of Covadonga, and in the Mariological center of the Servants of Mary in India, and with the Santa Maria di Monte Berico Higher Institute of Religious Science, in Venice, Italy.

Education is a continuing commitment for persons of all ages. We sponsor a variety of introductory, intermediate and advanced courses in Hebrew Language and Jewish Studies ranging from a single session to a year-long commitment. We join with other Reform congregations in sponsoring an Introduction to Judaism course. We also host book discussions, guest lectures, scholar-in-residence and family workshops, as well as special events throughout the year, open to the community. Finally, we offer links to the many other institutions of Jewish learning throughout New York City. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718-522-2070 x160 if you have any questions.
For 20 years, there has been an active BHS book club and many of the members have been consistent participants for those 20 years. Meeting every month except for the summer and always welcoming new members, the group has explored a wide range of literature, all with some Jewish connection. The breadth of their reading, (click here) is an over view of the wealth of literature on Jewish topics, from novels to history to poetry to memoirs and biography. The group also hosts parties twice a year. By fostering long term relationships through shared intellectual curiosity, the book group exemplifies the BHS community.

Everett Fox's translation of the Torah has been widely acclaimed as a scholarly, religious, and literary masterpiece. Praising its unique and authoritative approach, the New York Times Book Review said, "It makes it possible for us to take up the Scripture as if we had never seen it before." In his translation "Give Us a King!" Fox turns to the two books of Samuel, which contain some of the Bible's most famous stories and most unforgettable personalities: the barren Hannah, who will be mother to the prophet Samuel; the tragic King Saul; Bathsheba, the object of King David's illicit desire and the future mother of King Solomon; and King David himself, the romantic hero who becomes a legendary but morally compromised monarch.

Thread: uphauling lower back pain
3rd December 2016, 08:39 PM #15

I am a not-so-young but still avid windsurfer and I have been having intermittent lower back problems following a fall on ice two years ago, which makes uphauling a bit harder on my back.
I had M.R.I, CT Scan and X-rays taken, but they were all negative for any problems.
The first windsurfing season, 4 months after the fall, was perfectly O.K. By then the pain had gone and it never came back during or after a windsurfing session. I thought I had completely recovered.
Strangely, the pain has come back the second windsurfing season , i.e. last summer, two years after the fall.
Last summer, though, the pain would never occur while on the water or uphauling , only a few days after. It is a mild pain on a lower back muscle (on the right side) when I turn or twist the upper body, accompanied occasionally by short lived spasm when I contract the muscle either to raise my back from an horizontal position or, conversely, to lie down from a standing position. .
I am 95% functional for my everyday's life ( I am also doing lapses at the swimming pool 3 times a week) but to be on the safe, I thought I might see a physiotherapist, because my symptoms could indicate a problem with a lumbar vertebra facet joint . May be it escaped the other doctor, but I believe a physiatrist M.D. ( or a chiropractor or a physiotherapist) would be better trained to detect it.
Unfortunately physiotherapy is expensive and its costs are not covered by my Government Health Insurance plan ( Canada) unless I am referred by a specialist ( a physiatrist M.D. ) and it will take about 8 months to have an appointment.
This will probably carry me through another windsurfing season next summer and I just want to make sure that I do uphauling the right way.
I usually sail in light winds, but next year I 'll be using a larger sail than usual ( an 8.0). I know the legs should be bent and I also have an older Easy Uphaul.
I wonder whether the length of the uphauling rope can have an impact on the lower back strain . I think I had shortened it for some reasons and this possibly makes me lean more forward than necessary.
In other words, would a longer rope help?Any hints about uphauling?
Thanks for your comments

I'm intrigued as to why a self confessed none uphauler, short board, small rig only sailor like bahser, would recommend the exact opposite to the solution to this problem in his adamant advice not to use the Easy Uphaul system. I'm 5'6" (that's quite short) weigh only 67 kgs yet use a 9.5 rig quite often and the only way that is possible these days is precisely because I use the Easy Uphaul. The Easy Uphaul enables the length to be adjusted to suite, it uses the harness hook to engage the up haul so you lean back rather than bend forward to uphill the rig, if anything is exactly the solution to this guys problem, what is his motivation to deny the obvious? Clearly he's never used one, probably has never even seen one in action.
Virtually all the team fifteen kids used to use them when they were forced to use rigs way too big for their slight size, heavy 7.8 Tushingham rigs that weigh more than my 9.5 that would otherwise strain young backs, the Easy Uphaul system is used by more racers than don't, so again why would he be so set against it I wonder.
Either way ignore his advice, you can get them at most dealers who supply racers or if not, we sell them Here
They work take it from somebody who uphauls more often than most here.

I obviously don't know how much a physio would cost in the Canada, but in the U.K. seeing one privately isint extortionate. At around 45-55 quid a go depending on whether they are diagnosing something or treating you for it. My advice would be to go and see one. If they want to see you every week it'll get expensive, but from my encounters over back pain plus other things it's usually 2-3 visits. They work out what's wrong, give you some treatment and normally some excercises to address it, then it's a check up or two after.
Failing that pilates ( whether a general class or specific to your injury) or general excercise to strengthen your core muscles would probably help.

July is over and it's time for Support to kick into high gear! With school out across the country, this was our last "slow" month for the year. We've enjoyed these relaxing days, but know that supportnado is in the forecast. Let's take a look back at how July stacked up to months past, and get a feel for what the next few months have in store.
We answered 6,803 calls last month. That's a hefty 53% increase over June's total, but not far off what we did last July. We also nailed our goal for hold times this month, answering 98.7% of calls in under three minutes. With an expected 18,000 calls in August, we'll have to put in some serious effort to maintain that wait.
Emails came in at 6,857. Stick with me for a little number crunch: Year-over-year comparisons show a continued increase in emails since we began tracking in August 2012. This month, emails increased at the lowest rate since October 2012 (think back to Econ 101 and the rule of increasing at a decreasing rate). Email is usually our most popular form of support, but calls gave it a run for its money in July.
But the next few months should play in email's favor – last August threw 14,000 our way, but our inboxes become fuller and fuller every year, so don't be surprised if we crush more than 20,000 next month.
Next up: Chats. July brought in 2,435, an increase of just over 500 from June. Because these are still a fairly new feature for us, we don't have good numbers from 2013 to get a good feel for this football season. In case they take over emails, we'll be sure to brush up on our grammar skills.
Overall, you guys reached out to us 16,216 times in July. That's the busiest we've been since January, but the next few weeks are likely to surpass the number of interactions from May, June, and July combined.
We're actually pretty excited about the chaos. Everyone in the office pitches in and answers phone calls for an afternoon to make sure August comes and goes without a hitch. This means there's a pretty decent chance you'll get to work with a designer, a VP, or even one of our founders.
And if you haven't heard about it already, be sure to check your email and let your basketball coaches know about the ideal setup promo we're running through September 5, and hit us up if you have questions about getting the best gear for your team.
New hires are settled in, navigating the new phone system is second nature, and our vets are well-rested. Bring on the football. We're excited to get back in touch and hear all about the upcoming season.

A "free range" family fights back: "The police coerced our children into the back of a patrol car" - Salon.com
Yep, no harm done. You're right charges haven't been brought but don't be surprised if the Meitiv's don't sue."The police coerced our children into the back of a patrol car, telling them they would drive them home. They kept the kids trapped there for three hours, without notifying us, before dropping them at the Crisis Center, and holding them there without dinner for another two and a half hours. We finally got home at 11pm and the kids slept in our room because we were all exhausted and terrified."
Particularly after the media keeps reporting who these kids are and which parks they are walking home alone from.

I have mentioned before that I get recipe ideas from a variety of sources. Magazines, online, restaurants, TV, etc. This particular recipe came from Mr. Food. We watch NBC's Valley News Live morning show a lot and he is always towards the end right before I shower for the day. I used his recipe and tweaked it to my liking. We both really enjoyed the final results. Healthy and filling on these (hopefully soon ending) winter nights.
Stuffed cabbage stew
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. garlic salt
- 2 Tbsp. dried, minced onion
- 1 heaping tsp., dried Italian seasoning
- ¾ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 beaten egg or egg substitute
- 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
Combine all ingredients and mix until all incorporated. Section into 20-24 meatballs and set aside.
For the rest of the stew
- 1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes, do not drain
- 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 head green cabbage, shredded (about 12 cups)
What To Do:
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Mix well.
In a soup pot, place half the shredded cabbage. Add meatballs and half the tomato mixture. Top with remaining cabbage and remaining tomato mixture. Do not stir!
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Stir gently, being careful not to break up meatballs. Simmer an additional 40 minutes, or until cabbage is soft, stirring halfway through. Garnish with cheese and hot peppers if you like.
It is going to seem weird to put that in all dry but as the cabbage cooks, a lot of water is released and at the end you will have a super thick and fragrant stew. The stew also reduces by about ½ in size due to the cabbage cooking up.
I think this would also work in your Crock Pot if you prefer.
