the Spirit of Mahatma Gandhi lives through every nonviolent action
Dr. Yogendra Yadav Gandhian Scholar Gandhi Research Foundation, Jalgaon, M.S. Contact No. – 09404955338 Hindi Language and Mahatma Gandhi Hindi is one of the most popular languages of the world. It is a scientific language. It is very easy to comminuting. Everyone can speak it. Everyone can write it. Everyone can communicate it. So Mahatma Gandhi wanted that everyone adopt this language. His requested to every Indians. But some people opposed it. They were full of fear. They think if we accepted it, our language will be dying. They told it is interfere in their dharma. So Mahatma Gandhi told, "Hindi alone can become the common language of the educated people of India. All that has to be considered is how this can be brought about. The place that English is trying to usurp today, and which it is impossible for it to take, must be given to Hindi; for it alone has the right to it. This place cannot go to English, for it is a foreign language and very difficult for us to learn. Learning Hindi is child's play in comparison. The number of those speaking Hindi is almost 65 million. The Bengali, Bihari, Oriya, Marathi, Gujarati, Rajasthani, Punjabi and Sindhi languages are sisters of Hindi. People speaking these languages can understand and speak a little of Hindi. If we include these, the number is almost 220 million. How then can English, which even a hundred thousand Indians cannot speak correctly, compete successfully with a language which is so widely used? That to this day we have not even begun conducting our national business in Hindi is because of our cowardice, lack of faith and ignorance of the greatness of the Hindi language. If we give up our cowardice, cultivate faith and realize the greatness of the Hindi language, Hindi will begin to be used for the work of our national and provincial councils and Government organizations. The beginning should be made in the Provinces. If there is some difficulty in this, it is for people speaking the Dravidian languages like Tamil, etc., but we have the remedy for this too. Hindi-knowing men who are zealous, brave, full of self-respect and energetic should be sent to Madras and other provinces to teach Hindi without receiving payment. With the help of such heroic missionaries, the educated people of Madras, etc. can learn Hindi in a very short time. If we have the right spirit, the solution is as simple as the rule of three. The more instructors are sent, the faster will be the spread of Hindi. Besides the sending of teachers, self-instruction books should also be prepared. These books should be distributed free. Famous speakers should also be sent to bring home to the people the importance of learning Hindi. What it is necessary to do in Tamilnadu for the spread of Hindi, it is desirable to do in Bombay and other provinces. Hindi books should be prepared for people speaking Marathi, Gujarati, etc., and this article in Hindi was sent for publication to various papers in May 1917. Workers should be sent to those areas. This work requires money. The well-to-do among us should not take it as a burden. It is their duty to assist in this gigantic enterprise."1 Mahatma Gandhi said, "That, in view of the fact that the Hindi language is very widely used by the people of the different provinces and is easily understood by the majority of them, it seems practicable to take advantage of this language as a common language for India."2 Mahatma Gandhi told, "The question of language presents a big and indeed a very important problem. Even if all the leaders were to devote themselves entirely to this task turning away from everything else, they well may. If on the other hand, we were to regard it as of secondary importance only and to direct our attention away from it then all the enthusiasm which people now feel for it and the keen interest they are taking in it at present would be in vain. Language is like our mother. In fact I have no real interest in this sort of a conference. It will be a three days' pageant after which we shall disperse, go away to our respective places and forget all that we said or heard. What is needed is the urge and the resolve to do things. The president's speech cannot give you that urge. It is something which you have to create for yourselves. One of the charges made against us is that our language lacks spirit. Where there is no knowledge there is no spirit. We have neither the urge to know nor to do things. It is only when we acquire dynamic energy that our people and our language also will acquire it. We cannot get the freedom we want through a foreign language for the simple reason that we are not able to use it effectively."3 Mahatma Gandhi wrote, "Consistently with the object of our meeting today, I must speak in Hindi. On this occasion, however, I deliberately avoid using it because I want to explain its importance to you and that I shall do in Gujarati. I think I can explain the reasons better thus. The Satyagraha now going on in India covers the issue of the Hindi language. Satyagraha is essentially a fight for truth and, if we have regard for truth, we shall have to admit that Hindi is the only language we can use as a national language. There is no other regional language with equal claims. We should pause and think what Hindi means. I don't think the Sanskritized language they use is Hindi; it is an artificial product. Nor is Persianized Urdu Hindi. The language we want to adopt as our national language is a mixture of Hindi and Urdu. It is the language spoken, by and large, in Bihar, Delhi and the Punjab. The two languages came to be treated as rivals of each other when the idea spread that Hindus and Muslims were not one people and their developed ill will between the two. Some would regard that alone as Hindi which was full of Sanskrit words, and the Muslims would accept that alone as Urdu which used Persian and Arabic words. But the language spoken by the average Hindu or Muslim is not of this kind."4 Bapu told, "Although all people theoretically admit that Hindi alone can be the national language, yet the requisite love for the Hindi language is not apparent among young men of the provinces where the mother tongue is Hindi. Whatever literature is being published in Hindi is mostly translation. If, however, some original piece does come out it is found to be insignificant. It might be argued that Rabindranath is not born every day and Tulsidas is one among millions. Nevertheless, all of us can at least create a climate for the advent of poets like Tulsidas and Rabindranath, namely, a sincere zeal among young men. As their devotion to Hindi grows so would Hindi pervade the environment, leading to a flowering of a few genuine poets as well? Today neither the fervour nor the endeavour is manifest in the language of the young men having Hindi as their mother tongue. The grammatical errors occurring in the Hindi of the young men of U.P. and Bihar are not at all to be seen among the Bengalis and Maharashtrians. No doubt the national language is being propagated in provinces like Madras, etc.; but I have seen that Hindi teachers are not easily available. They are not energetic and their capacity for self-sacrifice is very limited. There ought to be innumerable young men ready to dedicate themselves exclusively to the propagation of Hindi; but I have not come across such persons, if any. Undoubtedly young men are available who are eager to serve at subsistence wages, but they are not equipped to teach Hindi. If young men will it, this shortcoming can be overcome. With the initiative of a single young man this work can make progress. If one loses heart and rests on one's oars in face of a distressing situation in a certain field, the situation deteriorates further. It is the duty of a devoted person to try to relieve the distress without delay and not sit with folded hands fearing obstacles on the way. Every school should have an association for the promotion of Hindi. It would be the duty of such associations to make progressive use of Hindi in all fields, to evolve new technical words, never to use a foreign language in politics, etc., to make a sound study of abstruse books, to provide Hindi teachers wherever necessary and to organize volunteer Hindi teachers for honorary work, etc. Even if a single young man in every school is fired with this zeal he will not stay inert but will sprout into an association and will induce his fellow-students to join it. The only way to keep up the awakening among the young men today is for them to utilize every moment of their lives for some sort of social service."5 Father of Nation said, "It is our strange misfortune that we are not as familiar with the name "Mahasabha" as we are with the name "Congress". When the name Mahasabha is mentioned some take it to mean the Hindu Mahasabha and others take it for some other organization. During my tour of the United Provinces when I used the word Mahasabha for Congress I was told no one would recognize Mahasabha as the Congress. This is the influence of habit. We have got into the habit of using an English word; therefore when someone uses a Hindi word we find it difficult to understand. Therefore, even though it is a rule that only the Hindi language should be used in the Mahasabha, it is English that is largely used. The Mahasabha notices are generally printed in English. In the Mahasabha office too English is generally used. Correspondence is carried on in English. In the lanes of Lajpat Nagar1 wherever one looked, one found only English signboards. All this is lamentable. But the remedy for this malady is not rigorous enforcement of the rules. The remedy is love for the national language in the masses and the resultant effort. If the public wishes, it can insist on all the business of the Mahasabha being transacted in Hindi. The fact is, there is neither sufficient awakening nor enthusiasm nor love for their language in the masses."6 Gandhi told, "On behalf of you all and on my own behalf I thank the Maharaja Saheb for declaring this session open. I consider it my good fortune that when I last came to Indore to preside over another session of the Sammelan, Your Highness was the Crown Prince. It was as Crown Prince that you had opened the proceedings of that Sammelan and now as the Maharaja you have performed the same office for this Sammelan. You have all heard the speech of His Highness and so have I, most attentively. If I can give anything in return for it, it can only be my thanks. If the sentiments that the Maharaja Saheb has expressed for the Hindi language are to be acted upon all over India, then Maharajas like His Highness will also have to do some real work. As the Chairman of the Reception Committee has recalled in his speech, when the 8th session of the Sammelan was held in Indore, Your Highness had donated Rs. 10,000 for the propagation of Hindi. I sincerely hope that in the same manner now, in order to fulfill the request made by the Reception Committee, full help will be forthcoming. I consider it our good fortune that while Your Highness then gave help as the Crown Prince, now Your Highness will be doing so as the Maharaja. Our millionaire Seth Hukumchandji is also present here. He garlanded me this morning. Although the garland was of yarn, it's worth is the worth of the person who garlands. Rai Bahadur Dr. Sarjuprasadji is also present here. He is ill, and, like all of you, I feel sorry about it. There is no question of his lacking in love for the Hindi language or the Sammelan. I have full confidence that whatever has to be done will meet with success. In spite of this, there is some commotion in the Hindi world. I had had an inkling of it in Wardha and after coming here I have understood the situation more fully. It is not still known how this commotion started. It is not true that the spread of Hindi in South India is not connected in any way with the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan; because that work is an inalienable part of the work of Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. The Hindi Sahitya Sammelan is the mother or the father, whatever you may choose to call it, of Hindi Prachar in South India. If it were not so, it would have been impossible for 6,00,000 people in South India to have learnt to speak or write Hindi as they do. For this spread of Hindi thanks are due to Hindi Sahitya Sammelan. No thanks are due to me for this; because whatever I did I did as President of the Sammelan. There was nothing personal in it. I can say this much that, propagation of Hindi is an inalienable part of the work of the Sammelan. If the Sahitya Sammelan should concern itself only with the growth of literature and not propagate Hindi, how can Hindi become the national language? Yes, it is our bounden duty to promote the growth of literature, but growth of literature cannot make Hindi the national language. Bengali is rich in literature, so rich that no other language can stand comparison with it. Marathi occupies the second place in literature. Hindi would perhaps be placed third or even fourth. Even that I doubt. But Hindi is spoken by a majority of people and it is an easy language to learn and to read, and therefore only Hindi has a claim to becoming the national language. If the propagation of Hindi were not a part of the work of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, then a person like me would be unfit to be its President, because I have done nothing for Hindi literature. I wanted to read out my written address, but speakers put up resolutions and took up the time. It was pointless to move resolutions because no one could snatch away my rights. The programme of the Sammelan will continue only for a few minutes. So, I wish to end this session by 7.30. From the point of view of Hindi literature I am most unsuited as President. Of the few girls that are present here, many have passed Prathama and are preparing to sit for the Madhyama. Even if I sat only for the Prathama, Purushottamdasji here may not give me enough marks to pass it because I do not know grammar. I have not the least objection to agree to what Jayaswalji has said. I am not partial to the Gujarati language. I have been made the President so that, through me some work for the spread of Hindi may get done. If the criterion was qualification, then even one of the girls could have been in this chair even as was the case with Queen Victoria. The Secretary just said, "I shall do everything. You have only to assent." That is not quite so. I have been chosen President and my condition that you will give me a lakh of rupees has been accepted so that through me Hindi Prachar should be well conducted. Poetry now has many branches. You can hear about them from poets to your hearts' content; but through me you will hear only about the spread of Hindi because I have no mastery over other fields."7 Mahatma Gandhi told, "Rajendra Babu has lightened my task by saying that the pracharaks should be men of character. It goes without saying that those who have not the literary qualifications would not do, but it is necessary to bear in mind that even literary qualifications would be of no use where the essential qualification of character was wanting. They will have to master the Hindi language as defined by Indore Sahitya Sammelan, i.e., the language spoken by the Hindus and Mussalmans of North India and written in Devanagari or Persian script. Mastery of this language will mean mastery not only of the easy Hindi-Hindustani spoken by the masses but also of the high flown Hindi full of Sanskrit words and the high-flown Urdu full of Persian and Arabic words. Without knowledge of these, mastery of the language would be incomplete, even as one could not claim to be master of the English language without knowledge of the English of Chaucer, Swift and Johnson, or mastery of the Sanskrit language without knowledge of the Sanskrit of Valmiki and Kalidas. But I should be prepared to put up with their ignorance of Devanagari or Persian scripts, or ignorance of Hindi grammar, but I should not tolerate for a moment lack of character. We do not need such men here and, if there is anyone among the candidates who is not likely to stand the test, let him leave betimes. The work they are called to is no easy thing. There is a strong body of English-knowing people who say that English alone can be the lingua franca of India. There are the pundits of Benares and Allahabad and the alims of Delhi and Lucknow who want a Sanskritized Hindi and Persianized Urdu. The third group we have to contend against is that which has raised the cry of 'provincial languages in danger'. Mere learning cannot successfully grapple with these forces. It is the work not of learned men, but of fakirs men of incorruptible character and with no axe to grind."8 Mahatma Gandhi told, "You know, I agreed to preside over the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan at Indore in 1935 on condition that the Reception Committee should collect Rs. 1,00,000 for Hindi prachar in South India in particular and other non-Hindi Provinces in general. I was loath to accept the invitation, but Jamnalalji stood surety for the Reception Committee. The Committee failed to collect the amount; in fact it collected then practically nothing at all. But in the year following about Rs. 22,000 were collected. Jamnalalji has now contributed Rs. 25,000 from his own pocket, and he has secured a promise of Rs. 75,000 from the charities of the late Kamalapatji of Kanpur. There is thus no lack of money. But what can money do? Wardha was just a cotton centre with a few ginning factories. It is Jamnalalji's ambiton to turn it into a cultural centre and a centre of national activities. He has, therefore, helped in bringing into being Mahila Ashram, a high school, Hindi Prachar Samiti, the present training school, the weaving school, the Village Workers' Training School, a tannery and so on. But more than these institutions, more than money, we want character. That is what I have come this morning to ask you to contribute to this work."9 Now we can say that Mahatma Gandhi was right. Hindi is third most popular language in the world. Everyone is praising its scientific qualities. References: 1. Pratap, 28-5-1917 2. Amrita Bazar Patrika, 15-1-1918 3.

What Causes Mold Growth in Athens, GA?
Athens GA has a warm southern environment. The humidity, heat, and rain all make Athens and surrounding areas an easy place for mold to grow and thrive. Mold only needs air, a food source, and moisture to grow. All of these things are conveniently found no matter where you live. This is why it is important to be aware of mold and to know some basic information. Mold can be an array of colors. Just because there looks to be black mold, doesn't necessarily mean that it is toxic mold.
Mold also comes in a variety of textures ranging from, fluffy and cotton-like to slimy and gooey. This is why it is so hard to identify mold just from looking at it or describing it. It is best to have mold analysis done to see what specific type of mold is found. Another common indicator of mold is smell. Most of the time a musty odor is associated with mold growth. If a lingering, musty odor doesn't seem to leave your home, it's very likely there is mold hiding somewhere in your home. If you suspect there is mold hiding in your home call Mold Test USA to find out what can be done to fix your mold problem. Mold Test USA has mold specialists waiting to speak with you about your specific situation and answer any questions you have about mold.

Toxic Mold Growth in College Dorm Rooms?
If you are located in Georgia, if you are in Arnoldsville, Bethlehem, Bishop, Bogart, Bowersville, Bowman, Buckhead, Calhoun Falls, Canon, Carlton, Carnesville, Colbert, Comer, Commerce, Crawford, Crawfordville, Danielsville, Dewy Rose, Elberton, Good Hope, Greensboro, Hartwell, Hull, Jefferson, Lavonia, Lexington, Madison, Mansfield, Martin, Monroe, Newborn, Nicholson, Royston, Rutledge, Social Circle, Statham, Tignall, Union Point, Washington, Watkinsville, Winder, or Winterville, we are talking to you too! Whether you are a resident, student, or work in Athens and surrounding, mold can come in contact with you in various different situations.
There have been several instances at colleges where mold has been found in dorm rooms. Usually in dormitories, maintenance issues are dealt with by work orders. Unfortunately, the work orders aren't always dealt with in the timeliest manner. Mold is not only unpleasant to look at, but it also can be harmful to your health. If mold is found, it is important that it is identified to see if it is a dangerous, toxic mold. The college's maintenance man may not be certified for mold inspection and he may not know exactly what kind of mold they are dealing with. If toxic mold is being cleaned, it needs to be removed properly to avoid making mold spores airborne and potentially spreading the mold to different areas. Being exposed to toxic mold over an extended period of time, can create memory loss, muscle spasms, asthma, watering eyes, irritated skin, and many other symptoms. It is very important that if your college student complains of mold in his or her dorm room, the mold is looked at by a professional mold inspection company. It is better to be safe than sorry in situations dealing with one's health.

International Women's Day: women taking control of their financial future
This International Women's Day, specialist financial services research Investment Trends is considering the extent to which the historical gaps that women have faced in investing and financial matters are being addressed.
More women are investing and taking control of their financial future than ever before
The latest research from Investment Trends shows a significant increase in the number of Australian female online investors, with their numbers doubling from 76,000 to 150,000 between 2013 and 2018.
"The twofold increase in the female online investor population over the last five years shows that more women are building their wealth and moving towards an independently secured financial future," said Suzie Toohey, Global Head of Client Service and Sales at Investment Trends.
"While females are joining the active online investor population in Australia at increasing rates, there's a very long way to go before we reach parity as women still represent only 20% of Australia's online investors," explained Toohey.
ETFs and ESG factors resonate with the female investor population
ETFs are playing an important role for female investors. Among the Australian online investor population, the proportion of females who invest in ETFs increased more than threefold in the last five years from 7% to 25%.
"The ability of ETFs to provide convenient, low cost access to a diversified investment portfolio resonates strongly with female investors across Australia, giving them an efficient way to build a core portfolio without needing to pick individual stocks," said Toohey.
Investment Trends research also reveals the importance of ESG factors to female investors. When it comes to their investment selection process, 29% of women say it is 'very important' that their portfolio contains companies that have good ethical, social, environmental and governance standards, compared to 19% for male investors.
"The growing number of ESG investment products in Australia will certainly give investors, women and men alike, more choices that align with their investment philosophy," said Toohey.
Financial literacy levels must be lifted
On the road towards retirement there exists a wide gap in confidence and affordability for Australians. Only 22% of those aged over 40 say they feel confident they can fund the lifestyle they seek in retirement and this proportion is lower among women (14%).
"It is vital to lift financial literacy levels and retirement preparedness across the country, especially considering the mounting challenges faced by Australians in building their wealth, planning for their retirement and affording a reasonable lifestyle throughout their retirement," said Toohey.
"Australians have access to a vast range of online tools and resources to learn about investing and money matters, but time and time again, our research shows they want more support to take control of their financial wellbeing," added Toohey.
"While more women are investing and taking control of their financial future than ever before, the gap between the independent financial security of men and women remains too large, and the wealth management industry must continually increase its focus on delivering products and services that work for women, and work for them at every stage of their life – young, middle aged or mature; single, partnered or widowed," said Toohey.

Mystery as British man, 40, dies falling from the sixth floor of Ibiza apartment building
The incident happened at about 10.10pm last night, with the emergency services and police being called to the scene after a body was found in an interior courtyard
A 40-YEAR-OLD Brit has died after plunging from the sixth floor of a building in San Antonio, Ibiza.
The incident happened at about 10.10pm last night, with the emergency services and police being called to the scene after a body was found in an interior courtyard.
The man was apparently not staying at the property as he may have been homeless, Diario de Ibiza reported.
Police sources say they are keeping an open mind on the cause and have not ruled out suicide.
The building is located in General Balanza street, in the Tanit block of apartments.
Initial reports of the accident said the man was in his 20s, with nationality unknown because he had no passport or identity papers on him.
Local police arrived first and efforts were made to save the man's life but without success and he was certified dead.
His backpack was reportedly found on the sixth floor.
The Civil Guard has opened an investigation to find out what happened.
Last August a 26-year-old Brit named as Callum Marriott, 26, from Clipstone, Notts, died at the same building.
Callum had just enjoyed his last night out on the holiday island with friends and was due to catch a plane home later the same day.
Investigators said afterwards they believed he may have been trying to get into his fourth-floor apartment when he fell around 4.15am on August 6 2017 after leaving his friends and returning early only to find he didn't have keys to get in.
Three Brits have died already this summer after plunging from the same building - Eden Roc - in Magaluf on the neighbouring island of Majorca.

All submissions were carefully reviewed by several members of the program committee on the criteria of scienti?c novelty, importance to the ?eld, and technical quality. Final selection took place at a meeting held on May 16-17 in Oakland, California. Twelve papers were selected for presentation and pub- cation in the conference proceedings. In addition, nine papers, presenting work in progress, were selected for presentation. The program included both fundamental research and practical issues: l- ging and IDS integration, attack modeling, anomaly detection, speci?cati- based IDS, IDS assessment, IDS cooperation, intrusion tolerance, and legal - pects. RAID 2001also hosted two panels, one on "The Present and Future of IDS Testing Methodologies," a subject of major concern for all IDS users and de- gners, and one on "Intrusion Tolerance," an emerging research area of increasing importance. Dr. Bill Hancock, Senior Vice President and Chief Security O?cer of Exodus Communications, Inc., delivered a keynote speech "Real world intrusion det- tion or how not to become a deer in the headlights of an attacker's car on the information superhighway". The slides presented by the authors, the 9 papers which are not in the p- ceedings, and the slides presented by the panelists are available on the website of the RAID symposium series, http://www.raid-symposium.org/.

I have a confession. I'm scared of Indiana. We've lived here for close to 5 years now and the only times we leave the Indianapolis-metro area and trek into the great unknown parts of the state are when enroute to somewhere safe, like Chicago or Philadelphia.
I've met a few people from the unknown parts and they are wonderful people but I am sure they are an anomaly – those who made it out alive.
My fear isn't a simple unease. No. It's a full-on, scardey cat, wussy-wuss, don't make me go there, terror. In my mind, everything outside of the metro-Indianapolis area is filled with 7 feet-tall, (I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hoosiers as a people are HUGE.) camo clad Hoosiers toting multiple automatic weapons, ready to take out a city slicker with no explanation. I'm certain that if I stopped at a rural farmstand because I wanted to make zoodles for dinner and accidently dropped the word "zoodle" a hostile Hoosier will gun me down with the zucchini still in my hand.
Is it crazy and irrational? Of course it is! But you cannot expect rational thought to suddenly step in and take over my life when it's never been invited to visit before. And the news is no help. Every night the local news is filled with stories of rural Hoosiers perpetrating crimes so bizarre that they often make the national news. Trust me readers, crazy-ass stuff happens in rural Indiana.
Many people in my life, especially native Hoosiers, find it hilarious that a woman who spent a chunk of her life in a major Turkish city (and let's be honest, Turkey has never been known as a utopia of safety) can be fearful of the backwoods of a Great Plains state. But the fear is real I tell you.
Over the summer I registered for a workshop to fulfill professional development credits for work. Immediately after hitting "send" I saw the error in my plan. The workshop was in rural Indiana, a little too close to Kentucky. (Don't judge, everybody is scared of Kentucky.) As the date approached I thought about ways to get out of it- faking a lung transplant. Claiming I was urgently needed in Turkey for family business. Blaming a hostile 4 year-old for losing my registration. I've got a good stock of viable excuses.
The workshop was to qualify me as a testing leader for Hoosier Stream Watch, an organization that relies on citizen science to monitor and report on the health of waterways statewide. (Yes, even in the Deliverance Zone.) It's an amazing organization and I wanted to be involved, if I could find a way to get over my fear of death in the boondocks.
When I signed up, I assumed I'd be standing on the bank of a babbling brook, filling test tubes and maybe swirling a pH strip. That was it.
That was not it. The day before the workshop I got an email with a first line reading, "Don't forget your waders." Waders? Hubba-whaaaaa? The term "waders" suggests I'll be wading and a city girl thigh deep in stream water, deep in the heart of rebel country makes her nothing more than a water-logged, easy to shoot, target.
When I broke the news of what I was about to undertake my husband, The Turk, was not a fan.
"I don't think you can go." The Turk proclaimed, the night before my workshop. (His crazy is not as extreme as mine, but he's not heading to rural Indiana for fun either.)
"Why you stand deep in stream? What if you drown?"
"What??? Drowning? Why did you bring that up? Shot by a redneck yes, but I didn't even think of drowning!"
"I am water engineer more than 20 years. I see things. One time, back in Turkey…"
"NO! Stop right there. Every time you start a story with "one time, back in Turkey," someone meets an untimely demise in a horrific manner. Keep your death stories to yourself." For reals, those stories are the stuff nightmares are made of. The only thing worse are his stories that begin, "When I was in Turkish army…"
"Ok. You go. Don't say I did not warn you."
Early the next morning I headed out to meet my doom. If I survived my foray into the backcountry and managed not to get shot, then chances were solid I would drown like a hairy Turk in a wastewater cesspool. Damn professional development.
I immediately learned most of my workshop comrades were homeschooling mothers from local farms, striving to keep their numerous young'uns safe from the heathenistic horrors of public education while giving them a biblical understanding of science…(Oh reader, I only wish I'd made that up.) Thankfully, none of them appeared to have firearms tucked into their mom-jeans.
As we hit the stream I was grateful I'd chosen this workshop during a month-long drought. The stream we were tasked with testing wasn't so much a babbling brook, but more like a belching stream. I wasn't going to drown today. But then our instructor sent us around the bend.
From her spot safe and dry on the bank, she instructed, "Next you'll need to test the velocity of the stream from that spot right in the middle." The lone dude in the group volunteered to go but he needed a partner and since I only have two children where the rest of the homeschoolers had between 8 and 9 children each (again, totally true.) I was sent to the middle of the stream.
If you've never tested the velocity of a stream, (And why would you?) it involves an apple, a stopwatch and math. As my extremely tall Hoosier partner headed into the stream, I timidly waded in. Thanks to my stump-like legs, the mid-calf boots I'd ordered hit me about mid-knee so I thought I was safe and I was, until the apple didn't move. (Note to self- next time someone says bring waders…bring waders…)
We stood in the stream, stopwatches poised, waiting for the apple to pass the finish line. Thanks to a still day and low tributaries, we waited and we waited and while we waited the sludge beneath my boots began to open-up and suck me in. Like a 70's superhero, I'd fallen victim to quicksand. (Or not, but quicksand seemed so much more dramatic in the moment.) My boots started taking on water. I was going down.
Then, the apple passed my timing arm and we were safe to head to dry land…safe, were I not butt-cheek deep in stanky swamp water.
After sharing a few new words with my homeschool moms, words they'd likely never heard before and words that likely burned their righteous ears, my man-partner helped me free my boots. While we fought with the sludge, I'm pretty sure the mothers on the banks sent thoughts and prayers into the ether for my nearly orphaned children and their potty-mouthed upbringing. Within moments I was safe on a muddy bank, soaking wet and smelling of stank water.
After another three hours identifying macro invertebrates and learning more about mayflies than I knew possible, I was sprung. I'd almost made it out alive when my joy turned to panic on the interstate ramp. As I was sprinting towards the safety of a northbound interstate lane, I was nearly side-swiped by a large pick-up truck sporting a window decal filling his entire back window. Half of the window displayed a massive gun while the other half read, "Careful, both driver and cab are fully armed."
An overwhelming sense of justice swept across me. My fear was vindicated. The Hoosiers of the backwoods were just as I'd suspected. My crazy was validated. I could do nothing more than chuckle as I floored it back to the safety of suburbia all the while vowing never to leave again.

The Hollywood Film Awards have announced their first round of 2017 winners (more will will be revealed in the coming weeks in the run-up to the ceremony on Sunday, November 5). Mary J. Blige will be honored with the Hollywood Breakout Performance Actress Award. Timothee Chalamet will receive the Hollywood Breakout Performance Actor Award. And "I, Tonya" will be given the Hollywood Ensemble Award.
Mary J. Blige isn't exactly a newcomer in the entertainment business. She has enjoyed decades of success as a recording artist, winning nine Grammys out of 31 nominations spanning more than 20 years. But she's less known to audiences for her acting, even though she starred in the telefilm "Betty and Coretta" as Malcolm X's widow Betty Shabazz, as well as the films "Rock of Ages" and "Black Nativity," and she earned a Critics' Choice TV Award nomination in 2016 for her supporting turn in "The Wiz Live!" Now she's garnering attention for her performance in Netflix's "Mudbound," directed by Dee Rees ("Pariah," "Bessie").
21-year-old Timothee Chalamet has been seen in the TV programs "Homeland" and "Royal Pains," as well as the film "Interstellar," but now he's earning acclaim for his leading role in the romantic drama "Call Me by Your Name" in which he plays a teenager who falls in love with Armie Hammer as an older grad student. Chalamet is also featured in the coming-of-age comedy "Lady Bird" as a love interest for a Sacramento high schooler played by Saoirse Ronan.
The winning cast of "I, Tonya" includes Margot Robbie as the title character, disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, as well as Allison Janney, Sebastian Stan, Paul Walter Hauser, Julianne Nicholson, and Caitlin Carver. The film tells the true story of Harding and her involvement in the attack on her competitive rival Nancy Kerrigan.
The Hollywood Film Awards will be hosted by James Corden for the third year in a row at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. What do you think of this first batch of winners? Will they go on to win Oscars?
Be sure to make your Oscar nomination predictions so that Hollywood studio executives and top name stars can see how their films are faring in our Academy Awards odds. Don't be afraid to jump in now since you can keep changing your predictions until just before nominees are announced on January 23. And join in the fierce debate over the 2018 Oscars taking place right now with Hollywood insiders in our film forums. Read more Gold Derby entertainment news.

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 19, 2018 : Barely days ahead of the holiday season, the Commissioner of Food Safety in Kerala has issued orders banning the manufacture, storage and distribution and sale of as many as 70 brands of coconut oil in the state. Commissioner Anand Singh claimed that the ban was imposed after oil brands in question were found supplying a "substandard and adulterated" product which had the presence of other cheaper oils, The Times Now reported.
Officials with the state's Food Safety department on Tuesday told media personnel that while these oils have not been deemed 'unfit for human consumption', laboratory testing proved that these products did not meet quality standards as prescribed by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
Coconut oil ban
Adding to the claims, a senior member of the department asserted that some of the products which fall under the purview of the ban met quality standards but were in violation of labelling norms. One such example cited by the Food Safety department is a product label which says that "coconut oil does not contain trans fat", a factually incorrect that amounts to making misleading claims.
Palakkad-based Kera Hira Coconut Oil, Thrissur-based Brilliant Grade One Agmark Coconut Oil, Assanvilla-based StS Kera Premium Gold Coconut Oil are some of the brands which have been banned as per the orders issued by Commissioner Anand Singh. The department had imposed a ban on 45 brands of coconut oil in May of this year followed by a ban on another 51 brands in June.

A cleaned out white plate,
its perimeter centrifugal blocks of primary colours.
A fork and a knife at an angle encompassing a scrunched-up napkin.
A plastic Coca-Cola bottle
removed twice its own height
from the glass into which its contents have been spilled,
fizzing and eating ice cubes.
A mobile phone, flat and idle.
Folded dinner menus,
salt and pepper pots,
sugar bowls (white and brown),
sachets of tomato ketchup, tartare sauce, English mustard, vinegar, brown sauce -
vertical and tidy at the corner
opposite a closed copy of the latest by Muldoon
and a sponsored pen feverishly writing.
All on a square black table.

After a ruling in a European court over a thousand people have requested that Google take down links to stories that are unflattering. The court ruled that individuals have a right to remove links from Google that they feel are irrelevant and damaging to them. Some are criticizing the ruling saying it may damage freedom of speech. http://tinyurl.com/osa49nw

The laws concerning reference checks vary from state to state.
Depending on when you are reading this, there are some states without any restrictions on what you can ask or disclose on reference checks. Well, there are the obvious subjects to avoid: race, religion, age and other subjects that are considered a protected class.
In a number of states, you can only ask or disclose information on job performance.
In some states, you can ask or disclose information on:
• Job performance
• Reasons for termination or separation
• Knowledge, qualifications, skills, or abilities
HR people generally know the rules and the laws involved with checking references. This tip is mainly for business owners who want to be involved with the hiring process.
One obvious recommendation for business owners is to find out what your state's specific laws are on reference checks and act accordingly.
Another recommendation is to ask your applicant for their permission and to get the contact information of those they want you to speak to. If they are still employed at Company X and you call them for a reference check, you may get them fired.
Job performance is by far the most allowed subject for discussion from state to state, so here are some possible questions:
How would you rate (applicant's) job performance at your company?
How would you rate (applicant's) (insert quality here: ability to work with other employees, communication skills, ability to solve problems, etc.)?
In terms of job performance, what do you feel (applicant) could most improve upon?
What would you say (applicant's) top contribution was for your company?
Again, I want to say this tip is not offered as legal advice. If you're a business owner and you want to do reference checks AND you have an HR department, get with them to make sure you're staying on the right side of the law. If you don't have an HR department, or your HR people have any uncertainties on this subject, then get some legal advice.
When you know exactly what you can (and can't) do with regards to references and your particular location, then roll up your sleeves and get some really good questions asked and answered.
Remember our motto:
The more you know about someone BEFORE you hire them, the better your hiring decision will be.
[This tip was inspired by a post by FitsSmallBusiness.com]
As the law varies in each area, please check with an attorney to ensure you are applying these tips within the law.
