Are you the type of person who is always getting bit by mosquitoes, even when someone else is sitting next to you and is completely unbothered? The answer may lie in your diet. I have heard that people who eat bananas on a daily basis are MUCH more susceptible to being eaten alive by skeeters. Something in the scent of bananas that seeps from your pores when you sweat, maybe.

i really wish the mosquitos/black flies/gnats/whatever would eat this rumour!!! there is no scientific evidence that what you eat attracts mosquitos
True or not true - I don't care! It's not harmful to try it. I mean, it is the scientists who tell us eggs are good, no eggs are bad, no eggs are good again!
I get eaten alive by mosquitoes every year. It doesn't seem to matter what I put on for repellent. I am not sure that the banana theory is true though because I really don't like them and rarely eat them if ever.
The banana myth is a fake.I tryed it and the mosquito rate was the same as without eating a banana.
undoubtedly false
Here you go. Bananas are very high in potassium, although it is not a sodium, it is still classified as a light metal/mineral thus of the salt family. Loading up on potassium your body will waste the excess. Since your kidneys take their sweet time, the next best and quickest exit is through your pores, your sweat glands.
I personally don't think it's true, because lately I ate lots of bananas. At least one a day, but sometimes even two or three and mosquitoes still don't like me. That of course doesn't mean I don't get bit by them, but I find that they still prefer to bite other people :). That said I don't mean to totally disregard this theory about the banana and mosquitoes, but there might be something else that attracts them more... or maybe it's just how your blood is, because bananas or no bananas I was never a favorite target for mosquitoes. I feel lucky! :)
I've been jogging at this trail where there are tons of mosquitoes, twice every week for the past month and a half or so, yet I have not had one single bite until the other day. It was a nasty bite or possibly many tiny ones. Well, all I can say it was a pretty huge area. I always eat a banana every day, but usually before or after I workout, however, the day I got that nasty bite, I had it one hour or so before I went out for a run.
I'm allergic to bananas, so I rarely eat them, but I am still the most mosquito-bitten person I know!
Below in quotes is what i was just sent. "Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation."
I don't know if anything is true anymore. My son loves to eat bananas and when he is at the cottage he is usually the one who gets eaten the most but so do I and I don't get bitten.
My boyfriend eats a banana everyday with breakfast and never gets bit by mosquitoes. They don't even notice he is there.
Eating a lot of foods with a lot of garlic in them works well too. It is a scientific proven fact that garlic eaters don't get mosquito bites. The mosquitos hate the smell.

Director: Phil Grabsky Running time: 1h 25mins
The story of Christ's death and resurrection is one of the most significant historical events of all time, as recounted by the gospels, but equally, as depicted by the greatest artists in history. It has dominated western culture for the 2000 years. This beautifully crafted film explores the art of the Easter story, from the time of the early Christians to the present day. Shot on location in Jerusalem, United States and throughout Europe, the film explores the different interpretations of Easter through the ages.

Sukanya Das and Subarna Das visited Bikram Ballav and handed over the Donation check of 100,000. We have also transferred the remaining amount of 18,000 to his bank account. Adding the pics and videos of him below:
List of donations
More pics and videos
A good news. Bikram Ballav is now in a better state though a long way from complete recovery. I guess most of you might be knowing the tragic happening to him (stroke at a young age). He has contributed immensely for GATECSE by making tests in GO almost entirely by himself, making what to read series for standard books, promoting good NPTEL lectures and guiding numerous GATE toppers personally. Our member Sukanya Das has volunteered to visit him this weekend. It would be good if members of GO can give him a small donation as this would be a nice gesture from our part. Also his family is currently struggling as only he was the earning member.
We have collected and donated Rs. 118,000 to him. But this is a small amount considering his treatment expense. Those willing to give donation now can do (Please mention "TO Bikram") to
Account No. : 11216928295 (State Bank of India)
Customer Name: DIPTI BALLAV & BARUN KR BALLAV
Bikram's treatment expense is over 10 lakhs and every donation will be of help for him and family.

Riders team up to hit the open road
By Kerigan Butt
By John Chambless
Staff Writer
Motorcyclists looking for new ways to share the open road have a resource right here in Landenberg. Avon Grove Motorcycle Riders is a group founded by Landenberg resident Ron DiStefano that brings together cyclists about twice a month for group trips on some of the region's most scenic roads.
DeStefano, who founded the group in early 2011, rode motorcycles as a young man, but marriage and raising kids resulted in a 30-year break. Now 60, he said, "I never gave up my license, but I stopped riding. I never gave it up totally, but now that the kids are grown and they're finished college, those responsibilities are out of the way."
While his wife doesn't ride, DiStefano has made friends with the 98 members of the Avon Grove Motorcycle Riders. "It's actually a small group," he said. "The Chester County Motorcycle Riders group has 500 people, Brandywine's got 200. Delaware County has a couple hundred. There are four groups in the local area.
"What happened with me is when I started riding again, I joined The Chester County Motorcycle Riders," he said. "But the guy who ran the group moved. He lived in Honey Brook, but he moved about 45 minutes away, so I was riding that far just to start the ride. I thought maybe it was time to form my own group. I started with just two people, and it's grown from there."
There are plenty of options for sharing the road with fellow riders. Some groups are specialized by type of motorcycle, or where the group begins their rides. "There's a group for guys who ride what I call crotch rockets," DiStefano said. "We just do casual riding. We don't do any crazy stuff."
The Avon Grove group starts all of their rides in Avondale, "and we don't care what type of motorcycle you ride," said DiStefano, who has a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan.
He and co-organizer Ed Jenks, of New London, come up with ideas for where to ride, "and we also monitor where the other groups go, and we steal their ideas," DiStefano said with a chuckle. Other leaders in the group are event organizers Toni Spille of Wilmington, and Dave Appleby of Landenberg.
One of his favorite trips is called the Pennsylvania Tail of the Dragon. "It goes down Route 125 from Shamokin to Pine Grove," DiStefano said. "There's lot of turns and changes in elevation. It's a fun ride. It's not about the destination, it's the ride. Covered bridges are always popular with motorcycle riders, too -- I don't know why. We did a covered bridge ride last year, and we'll have another one this fall.
"There's a rally the first Sunday of every month at the Ephrata American Legion. It's an open ride. We don't always go. But on our website, we post a lot of rides that we don't necessarily take."
Recently, the group took a trip on the historic Millersburg Ferry. "How many ferries are there anymore?" DeStefano said. "This one goes across the Susquehanna River. We filled it up with motorcycles."
While groups of motorcycists traditionally spell trouble to outsiders, DiStefano said the Avon Grove group is nobody's idea of a biker gang. "Once we get off the motorcycles, you wouldn't know we owned them," he said. "We're not into heavy chains and leather and bad stuff. We're just regular people."
The ages of the members range from almost 70 to about 30, DiStefano said. While some groups of riders get together socially when they're not on the road, the Avon Grove group is all about the ride.
"We're all got other stuff going on in our lives," DiStefano said. "If we can break free for a ride together for a little while, that's a great thing."

The Big Interview:
Hans van der Heijden
Five years after new work on Liverpool city centre's oldest building was unveiled, we speak to the director of the architects responsible…
Amongst Liverpool's myriad anniversaries in 2013, potentially most controversial is that of the refurbishment of the Bluecoat. Part of the high-profile regeneration of Liverpool undertaken in the lead-up to the city's year as European Capital of Culture, work on the oldest building in the city centre raised some eyebrows.
Now, five years after the Bluecoat reopened in 2008, the building plays host to a symposium looking at the collaborative design approach adopted by its architect, Biq and the wider context of urban development and cultural life.
We spoke to Hans van der Heijden, director of the Rotterdam-based firm…
Tell us a little about the kind of work that you do at Biq.
We have design commissions in Holland, Germany and Belgium – not in the UK currently – and we work on housing and urban design tasks mostly. We also lecture, teach and write.
You describe the Bluecoat as a "unique combination of village hall and avant-garde institute." Were those factors important/uppermost in your mind during the redevelopment process?
Absolutely. We were intrigued by the fact that the Bluecoat Grade I listed monument, and the sometimes difficult art that was presented there, did not result in a place that was isolated from city life. On the contrary, the Bluecoat is all about communication. And by that I mean both the building and the arts institute.
Was that process a very challenging one, especially in light of the reverence in which the Bluecoat is held in the city of Liverpool?
I really prefer reverence to indifference. I have always liked the commitment of Liverpudlians to the Bluecoat. I remember stories of people who had buried their pets in the garden or had spread ashes of deceased family there. I felt honored to work on such an important part of people's existence.
Five years on, having that natural (as well as geographical) distance, what are your thoughts on the completed space?
I note that the garden and the lobby is always filled with people. They don't have to consume, you're not forced to buy a coffee and most people just quietly sit there or wait for others to meet. The Bluecoat has reinforced its ambitions in that sense. Also, the new wing starts to weather and there are traces left by different art shows of the past five years. It is slowly losing its newness.
How much has Liverpool changed architecturally in that period?
It is not yet too late to prevent Liverpool from turning into an Abu Dhabi at the Mersey. The recent buildings of Liverpool 1 and the Mersey banks suggest a worrying preference for an international architecture in steel and glass. Liverpool deserves better than an all too naïve city image which is borrowed from exotic places. Why is the local potential of brick and stone architecture not developed into something that is dignified, useful and sustainable in the long term? Cities should change, but they change best when changed slowly.
Are Rotterdam and Liverpool very different cities?
No. Both are harbor cities, with a low level of self awareness. Richness, in so far as it is available, is never on display. The weather is the same.
The symposium looks at 'collaborative design approaches … and the wider context of urban development and cultural life.' What more can you tell us?
We have to wait and see what the conference brings us. But I hope we will speculate on how the Bluecoat acts as an unique arts institute within the context of Liverpool 1, how it differs from it and how it contributes to the city as whole. I do hope it will contribute to the constant innovation that is needed for places like this.
What are the main challenges to architecture today?
Adidas is changing its strategy based on the assumption that people will buy less, but better sport gear in the future. Amongst younger generation architects, it has become clear that we cannot think in terms of expansion anymore. There is much thinking on how we make do and get by with the buildings that we already have. Personally, I assume that the 21st century will see a wide range of strategies, the small and the large, the spectacle and the modest, the cheap and the expansive will exist next to each other. I also think it will be increasingly hard to teach architecture and prepare students for such an unstable professional context.
What buildings do you think people will look at in 100 year's time and think 'they really got that right'?
The Rope Walks area perhaps. By that time this area will probably still be in a state of perpetual change. Hopefully it will still have that weird mix of high and low culture. It was a brave decision to invest in new stone curbs while the area was still derelict 20 years ago.
What buildings won't people be so kind about?
John Lennon Airport. If it is has not crumbled down within the next decade that is.
Habitat: Architecture Symposium takes place Thursday 2nd May 6pm @ the Bluecoat £3-£5

Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation process that involves vapour transport through a hydrophobic membrane. The evaporation is caused by the partial pressure difference between a hot fluid and cold fluid/surface. In this study, an air gap MD (AGMD) process is utilized to produce freshwater from saline solution. A multi-stage AGMD unit with 0.45 micro-m pore size Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membranes is built and experiments have been carried out with different operating variables including feed temperature, coolant temperature, air gap width and feed inlet concentration. A maximum of 12.9 kg/m2 of distillate flux was obtained per kWh energy input from the multi-stage MD unit while for a previously built single-stage MD unit, the highest water/power ratio obtained was only 2.3 kg /m2 kWh. This variation indicates that multistaging is necessary for efficient energy use in MD system.

Introduction: Never Have a Lighter Stolen Again!!
Stop lighter theft and make your lighters last for years. I have an antique restoration business and have a need for fire everyday. I use a lighter to light my pen torch that I use for a number of reasons. I find keeping a lighter to be difficult, nearly every smoker I know will accidentally swipe it. This would cause me to have to stop working, close up shop and run to the store. It really isn't the cost of the lighter that was problematic, just the interruption in my work day. So I made it painfully obvious, "that's not your lighter, that's my lighter" I noticed that the lighters were lasting way longer as well. I think I have stumbled upon a way to make a lighter last much longer. Like years longer! Check out the second pic, I write the dates on them when I glue them-10/30/13! The pics of the lighters in this tutorial are not fake, those are the real dates. That's right four years, by total chance I picked the day before the four year anniversary to make this instructable. I use these lighters everyday so its not that they're not getting used. I can think of several reasons they are lasting this long (other than not getting swiped) 1) when we put lighters in our pockets we probably hit the gas trigger a bunch and gas escapes. 2) maybe our body heat causes gas to leak or leaving them in a hot car might? 3) The hole where they fill the lighters at the factory might leak? I don't know why they last longer, that was not my intention, I just glued them in a block to help my friends realize that they were stealing my lighter and nobody has stolen one yet. This is a good way to keep lighters in places you need them, like a camping kit, you can write on the block where they are supposed to stay. If you decide to make this, get ready for the moan of a lighter thief, they will be very loud in their protests against you fixing their problem, I love hearing them whine.
Step 1: Make a Hole in Some Scrap Wood and Cut to Length.
I am using scrap 2x4, I have the advantage of owning a hollow morticing machine. You can drill yours out if you don't own this type of machine. It is important that you make a "pocket" to receive the lighter as you will be gluing it in. You want to bury the end of the lighter in adhesive, covering the hole on the bottom where they fill it with gas, I think that might have something to do with the lighters lasting so long. Here in the USA the lighters I like to buy are made by Bic they are 3 1/8" long. I leave about 3/4" of the lighter sticking out. So the hole I drill is 2 3/8" deep. I cut my holes to where there is 1/2" on all sides, my original block was a piece of 2x4 that was 6" long and it was too awkward to use. I use a piece of 2 x 4 that is 2" long. The size I use these days is large enough to help my friends realize that is not their lighter, yet its small enough to be used easily. The finished size is 2" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2"
Step 2: Glue the Lighter Into the Block
I have used the same type of adhesive every time I have made these, so that might have something to do with the length of time they hold up. Its an adhesive made by 3m that is used in the automotive industry to hold weather strips on cars. This tube is black, it comes in other colors and is useful in all sorts of projects, you wont regret buying a tube believe me. Just squirt a bunch in the hole and press your lighter into it. You will need to wipe away the excess around the top if you have done it right. The idea is to encase the lighter in adhesive, sealing off the hole in the bottom (although I can't be certain that is why they last as long as they do)
Step 3: Flatten the Bottom
The edges of 2x4's are rounded which makes the lighter tipsy, So I take it to my sanding wheel and flatten the bottom.
Step 4: Put a Date on It!!
Don't forget to put a date on the bottom, its incredible how long they last. Honestly I would have expected the flints to give out, but nope. One of the best parts of this instructable is listening to the satisfying sound of a habitual lighter thief moan as he or she has realizes you have figured out how to stop their annoying habit! Please post pics on here if you have a lighter last more than a year, thanks for looking!

Hi there, I'm working on a publication about lighters and was wondering if I could speak to you?
I have some questions regarding your project. Thank you!
mind if we continue the conversation via email? you can contact me at email@example.com
Ok I sent you an email
Smart idea!
But why you don't use these:
Much saver to light a torch and the smokers will not steal them.
I've used those to light acetaline torches, will they light a pen torch?
I've used pen torches myself and to be perfectly honest it's not as good. Whereas the second or maybe third strick will light a torch it seems to take four or five for pens. That's just anecdotal, however.
Interesting, I guess the butane isn't as combustible as the oxyacetylene? I think I'll give the striker a try, even if it takes 5-6 strikes, it would be nice to have a back up to a lighter. Thanks for the comments!
Good idea!
Thank you!

Bromsgrove Sporting skipper Craig Jones writes for The Standard in his weekly column, reflecting on the victory over Dunstable and the squad's strength in depth this season.
ON SATURDAY we weren't at our best but again we showed we aren't just a team who can play good attacking football, but one which can grind out results when needed.
Dunstable got men behind the ball and looked to counter quickly but I thought we dealt with their movement well, especially in the first half.
We aren't under any illusions, we can and will play better but that's three clean sheets in a row in the league and seven points out of nine against some tough opposition.
Charlie coming off the bench to score with his second touch epitomises the quality we have in our squad.
The gaffer has added some real talent and depth this year, with all the new lads coming in and making a positive impact.
It's a squad game and praise must go to the lads who are biding their time, training hard and pushing on the boys who are lucky enough to be selected in the starting XI.
Saturday sees the start of a real tough run – four away games against some good sides will give us a great indication on what we can achieve this year.
On Tuesday (October 16) we pay further respects to one of our own, Thomas Jones.
We are playing an RAF Representative side with all proceeds going to Thomas' family.
Please spread the word, we'd like as many people at the Vic as possible to make Thomas proud.

You're Dreaming by The Cactus Blossoms
There was a time when brotherly harmonies dominated the musical airwaves. From the Everly Brothers in pop to the Louvin Brothers in country, it was a sound that was both soothing and satisfying. Despite the fact that this music was a touchstone for many artists that followed, however, the style ultimately faded from favor. Until now.
Meet the Cactus Blossoms, two Minneapolis brothers who revive the magic of that bygone era. From the chugging country beat of "Change Your Ways or Die" to the rumbling rockabilly guitar of "No More Crying the Blues" the duo take the listener on a musical tour through time and harmonic genre.
Their songwriting rings true to their predecessors as well, filled with lyrics that are straightforward yet have a subtle charm and sophistication. "When I pulled up to the crosswalk, ease up on the small talk, you know what's on my mind," they sing on "Stoplight Kisses." "Stoplight kisses, you drive away my blues," the song concludes.
Production duties were handled by JD McPherson, no stranger to retro music. Here's hoping that this is only the beginning of a harmonized renaissance.
Deeper Water and Better Be Home Soon, Paul Kelly and Neil Finn (from the Omnivore Recordings release Goin' Your Way)
Paul Kelly and Neil Finn are two masters of the songwriting craft, each boasting catalogs that are both broad and deep. A few years back the two artists teamed up for an Australian tour (where's the US love, guys?!), sharing a band and one another's songs.
Fortunately they captured one of the shows as a special double album, which was somewhat quietly released in the US at the end of last year. While it'd be hard for the prolific songwriters to fit all their greatest hits in a single show, they do cover a fair amount of ground in the two hour performance.
If you're a fan of either artist, you're sure to enjoy the live renditions of their classic songs. If you're not a fan, you should listen as well as you'll quickly be converted into one.
Here for your listening enjoyment are Kelly's brilliant "Deeper Water" and Finn's moving "Better Be Home Soon" (complete with audience sing-along).
Dusty Roads, We/Or/Me (from the self-released Everything Behind Us is a Dream)
Chicago singer-songwriter Bahhaj Taherzadeh walks the fine line between vulnerability and confidence. His songwriting is intoxicating – soothing and with an air of sophistication. It makes for the perfect late night soundtrack, the kind of music that invites you to close your eyes and get lost in its beauty.
Songs like "Dusty Roads" compliment genteel musical arrangements with a lyrical wanderlust. It creates a sense of longing that also has a breath of optimism. "Between the visions of midnight and the hours of the sun," he sings on the opening track from his latest release, "let me go, let me live out on the dusty road."
Done, Hello Industry (from the self-released When I Was Young)
They say that great art is often born from anguish and suffering. Such is the case with the Chicago duo of Nathan and Heather Peterson, who perform as Hello Industry. While awaiting the arrival of their fourth child, they were given the heartbreaking news that she would be born with a fatal disease.
Like many an artist, the range of emotions that they felt became an integral part of their songwriting. The resulting album offers a poignant reflection on life, mortality and love. The glossy production does little to hide the personal nature and emotional gravity of the songs. It is a collection both moving and, in its own way, uplifting.
Perhaps the best part of the story: their daughter defied the odds and recently celebrated her first birthday.
For Cryin' Out Loud, Western Star (from the Saustex Records release Fireball)
Baltimore's Western Star don't mess around on their latest release. With Old 97's lead guitarist Ken Bethea in the producer's chair, they deliver a fist-full of rock and roll. Dueling guitars wail while the band's rhythm section bludgeon their instruments. Somehow, however, the songs maintain their melodic, fist-pumping glory. Crank it up.
I Can Swing a Hammer, The Wet Secrets (from the Six Shooter Records ep release I Can Live Forever)
This Edmonton, AB sextet was a totally random discovery at last year's SXSW. I was waiting on some friends when I noticed a group standing nearby wearing high school band uniforms. My curiosity was piqued. Fortunately my friends were a few minutes late so I caught their first few songs and was immediately smitten.
The group traffics in high energy, intelligent and sometime quirky pop, a la the New Pornographers. Heck, you've got to have the musical chops to perform in flamboyant band uniforms, something the Wet Secrets do with flair. And what's not to like about a band whose label describes them as "dress(ing) up their scrappy, scathing outlook in impeccably tailored pop attire."
Daredevil Man, Redray Frazier (from the self-released Blood in the Water)
Portland-based Frazier has quite the musical pedigree. He has spent time singing gospel music in his father's Baptist church, touring the country as front-man for a soulful rock band and performing as part of David Byrne's band.
While the eclectic background informs the music of his solo career, it doesn't define it. Blood in the Water is a rocking R&B record, pure and simple. Six tracks of taut soul that is rooted in the 1970's funkified tradition yet has plenty of contemporary flourishes.
I'm not sure if Stevie Wonder has had the pleasure of listening to this release, but I expect he'd break out into a big ol' grin if he did.
Moving Target, Pasadena '68 and Slow Burn, Dakota Shakedown (from the self-released Pasadena '68 & Dakota Shakedown)
Pasadena '68 and Dakota Shakedown give new definition to the phrase "two for the price of one." The two groups are comprised of the same members, the difference being that Nick Leet and Mike Hjelden take the role of songwriter and front-man for Pasadena and Dakota, respectively. Not surprisingly the groups share a common bond – a fondness for straight-up rock-and-roll. Booming drums and roaring guitars drive towards fist-pumping choruses. The snow may be falling (at least 'round these Northeast parts), but this dual ep will heat things up nicely.
Her Crystal Room, Berwanger (from the High Dive Records release Demonios)
Josh Berwanger and his band bring the best of 1980's rock into the 21st century. In fact, in the case of this track from their latest release, they do it in a single song. The group lulls you in with acoustic guitars and sugared harmonies before unleashing some feedback-drenched electric guitars that somehow maintain a symphonic quality.
Elsewhere on the ep you'll find roaring rockers ("Cherry") and gentle acoustic ballads ("Lost and Founds"). Demonios makes for one fun listen from start to finish, filled with plenty of melodic harmonies and power pop goodness.

A passenger on El Al flight LY001 traveling from Israel to JFK opened one of the plane's emergency doors and attempted to jump off the plane on Wednesday. The plane had just landed in New York.
Crew members who noticed the man grabbed him and prevented him from leaping out of the Boeing 747, thereby saving his life.
In a statement made by an El Al Spokesperson the airline said: "When the plane arrived at the gate and during the descent of the passengers, an American passenger opened one of the rear passenger doors that are not intended for passengers. Two EL AL crew-members who noticed the passenger kept their cool and acted resourcefully in grabbing the passenger as he hung from the door at a great height, and thereby saved his life."
Once aware of the situation, crew members alerted the ground crews who arrived promptly with a ladder and took the man down safely. He was arrested by police at the airport.
"An El Al ground crew employee An El Al employee who noticed this was also resourceful and quickly brought a ladder to the door. The passenger jumped onto the ladder and began to run on the runway until he was stopped by the authorities and transferred for questioning and to clarify his motives for the act," the company added.

Shopping Carts, Business, and Life, Part I
By Chuck Violand
October 23, 2017
There's a lot about business that can be learned from shopping carts. That's right, I'm talking about lowly, supermarket shopping carts. The carts that sometimes don't make it into the shopping cart corral or surprise us when we turn into a parking spot we thought was unoccupied. The kind that have been clocked at over 35 miles per hour whizzing through the lot, lending new meaning to the term "fast food."
When filling a shopping cart at the grocery store there are some things, like produce and other perishables, that we plan to use sooner. Other things we put into the cart, like canned goods or household items, we save for later. Sometimes we don't know when these items will be used; just that keeping the pantry stocked will come in handy down the road.
Businesses are like shopping carts. They're the vehicles we've chosen to collect the things we need to fortify ourselves now and those we'll use at a future time.
We can learn a lot about ourselves and others by the way our shopping carts are used. When we're in a hurry or not paying attention, we can become reckless with our shopping carts. We may accidentally run them into display racks, produce bins, or even other carts. Occasionally, we may become impatient when we experience shopping cart gridlock in an aisle.
In much the same way, we can become reckless or impatient with our businesses, causing damage to people and relationships we've established.
Shopping cart etiquette teaches us lessons about self-awareness and community. Returning your shopping cart to the corral is a voluntary act. It requires extra effort on our part, but demonstrates our commitment to being a good parking-lot citizen.
Running a business carries a civic responsibility as well as a financial one. We're responsible to the communities we serve, whether they're customers, suppliers, or employees.
The important thing to understand about shopping carts when relating them to business, is that it's not the shopping cart that's important; it's the items we put into the shopping carts and the lessons those items can teach us.
A business is intended to collect things: income, customers, experiences, and relationships. It's up to the person driving the business to decide what they're ultimately supposed to do with the lessons they've learned.
It's easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day competition to win customers, meet payrolls, and manage staff that we often don't stop to question what we're placing into our carts. Or we overlook the purpose of those things. We just keep adding more and more items to our carts, never giving much thought to what they will cost us or how we're planning to use them. In other words, it's not about the items in the cart or the experiences in our business, it's about how they'll ultimately be used.
In Part II of this series I'll explain how the items we place into our shopping carts, or the experiences we encounter in business, ultimately play a role in our lives.

Several parents and volunteers of 'Balagokulam', an initiative to spread vedic knowledge amongst children, have come to meet Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji to seek guidance and blessings. Swamiji spent more than hour speaking to them about the roots of our culture. Several questions such as 'What is the crux of our sampradayam', 'what are the basics that should be covered', 'How can we explain children in a way that they can relate', were alladdressed by Sri Swamiji.
Swamiji's devotees in US have requested him for a syllabus to children that teaches Vedic heritage about 12 years ago. It was then that 'Prajna' program was launched which essentially serves this great purpose of enriching children with the greatest knowledge of all times. This knowledge can enable children to tie themselves to the roots while flying high in the sky!

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. Isaiah 11:6
Have you ever wondered what heaven will be like? Ever thought about what we, as Christ-followers, will do for eternity? Eternity is a long time! Will we have jobs? Will we recognize our loved ones? Will we have any recollection of earthly events, or see earthly events from our vantage point?
Even though I don't have answers to those questions there are some things we can be sure of. We can be sure we'll see Jesus. I can't wait for that. I figure I'll sit at his feet for the first one or two million years and just worship him before I venture out to explore the place.
We can be pretty sure we'll feel at home there. Jesus says he'll have a place set up for us in his Father's house. While I'm not entirely sure I know how that will work out, I think once we cross that line from today to eternity we'll feel completely at home.
The Bible tells us there will be no death, no illness, no gender gap or generational gap. We'll all live in complete and perfect harmony. Isaiah gives us the examples of mortal enemies like the lion and the lamb laying together in complete harmony.. The same with the leopard and the goat and the calf and the lion.
What will cause enemies to live together in peace? A little child. That little child is Jesus. He was there at creation when they were created. Paul tells us he is the glue that holds this entire universe together! Perfect peace has its origin and its power in the leading of the little child in the manger. The baby that grew to be king. King over death. King over sorrow and sadness. King over guilt and shame. King over my enemies.
We won't likely see peace in our world for some time. Jesus says things will get much worse before they get better. Someday, though, if we hold Jesus as our Lord and Savior we'll know what perfect peace is. Peace from finances. Peace from relational conflict and political upheaval. Peace from illness and worry. Peace from sin and guilt.
Until then, the sustainer and creator of peace lives within each of us. It's unlikely that any of us will be able to exert enough change on planet earth to bring world-wide peace. But we can work towards peace in our own little corner of the world. Go ahead. Start a peace chain by praying for your enemies. Commit your worries and fears and feeling of inadequacy to the one who can bring peace in the midst of the storm. Someday we'll live in a world of perfect peace, but until then do what you can to bring peace to your corner of the world.
PRAYER: Father God, I don't know what it will be like to live in heaven with you for eternity. There are some days when I struggle so much here on earth that I long to 'come home' to you. Thank you for the peace that you promise me in eternity. Thank you that you can bring some of that peace to my world today. Empower me with your Spirit to sow thoughts of peace in my world where ever and however I can. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thanks to lower expenses in a several key areas, U.S. colleges and universities will experience a significantly lower inflation rate this year than last, according to new data estimates.
Based on a new methodology that calculates data based on a June 30 year-end, the Commonfund Institute's Higher Education Price Index estimates inflation for the sector will be 2.8 percent for fiscal 2009, down from 5 percent in fiscal 2008.
That's one bright spot in an otherwise bleak landscape for the nation's higher-education sector, says Bill Jarvis, managing director of the institute.
"College and universities are facing very difficult fiscal situations as a result of declines in endowments and household wealth, which affects the ability to pay tuition," he says. "So requests for financial aid are up. If costs are going up at a lower rate, that is one less source of pressure for university budgets."
The Higher Education Price Index is similar to the Consumer Price Index, but calculates the increase in prices of good and services specific to higher education.
The index includes prices for faculty salaries, administrative salaries, clerical costs, service employees, fringe benefits, miscellaneous services, utilities, and supplies and materials.
The projected decrease in inflation this year is due in large part to slower increases in faculty salaries and fringe benefits, as well as utility costs that are projected to have declined 8.6 percent this year compared to a jump of 14.2 percent last year.
"These pretty directly reflect general economic and market conditions," Jarvis says. "Virtually every indicator is advancing more slowly, or is decreasing, as compared to last year."
Data used in the calculations will continue to trickle in through the end of the fiscal year, so the 2.8 percent inflation estimate likely will change by the end of the year, he says.
About 27 percent of U.S. colleges and universities use the index, says Jarvis, with more than half using it for planning and budgeting purposes.

Hunter Tip: Load Your Firearm Correctly
by Chris Haught · December 3, 2015
Loading your firearm is not something you want to do wrong. Do you know all the steps? Watch the video for a quick refresher!
Here's the rundown:
Always treat your firearm as if it's loaded, and point the muzzle in a safe direction.
If your firearm has a safety, turn it to the safe position.
Inspect the barrel for any obstructions.
Load the right gauge or caliber ammunition for your gun.
Close the action and activate the safety if you were not able to previously.
Then, enjoy your hunt!
It's important that you never even carry the wrong ammunition, as you could accidentally put the wrong ammunition in your firearm, causing a dangerous (and possibly deadly!) obstruction. For example, a 20-gauge shotshell will fit into a 12-gauge shotgun, and then become stuck in the barrel. If you then tried to put a 12-gauge shotshell in your shotgun and fired it, your shotgun could explode, causing serious injury to you and any hunting partners.

redefining motherhood
it is the look in my mother's eyes,
every time we say goodbye.
it is the pregnant girl on the bus,
softly singing lullabies to her unborn child.
it is the woman staring at the negative pregnancy test,
longing, hurting, grieving.
it is the elderly lady standing in line at the supermarket,
her hand on her son's shoulder, guiding him through life.
it is the barely visible smile of the woman passing by on the street,
a sign of recognition, a safe haven.
it is the woman hiding her tears, enduring the pain,
not wanting to worry her children.
it is the raw power of my body that keeps on going.
it is the task of safeguarding with every fiber of your being.
it is the protective instinctive behavior, the tightening of my muscles,
the adrenaline rushing through my veins.
it is the new version of me.
the softer, stronger, tougher version of me.

yesterday was simple- just the way i would want it. breakfast in bed, a homemade drawing, a craft from parks' school and a meaningful card from my boys. later in the morning, we went to our beloved church (my heart left bursting with gratitude | tears rolling down my face for the powerful + heartfelt message, the people, the loving space, the lavender/baby's breath/eucalyptus bouquet they gave out to the mothers + those who long to be a mom- i thought of these women a lot yesterday.) and then acai bowls + smoothies, my husband snapped some photos of the boys and i in our den, nash charles turned eleven months old, and we spent the rest of the day with my husband's family; a day spent with loved ones- those days are the best days. connecting and celebrating and acting as a village to care for one another.
i ended the day by putting both my boys to bed - i nursed and softly rubbed nash's head as he nuzzled into my chest. and then i read parks some books. he pulled out the book, 'love you forever' from the bottom of his toy chest and said, 'i found a good one, mommy!' (having no idea of the significance.) it's no surprise that i got emotional at the end and as he leaned forward and noticed, he began rubbing my back - and then lifted my shirt and continued rubbing my back. and my mom heart melted.
if you would like to light a candle and listen to yesterday's lovely sermon
watershed // 5.12.19
running at me after church and wrapping his arms around my neck | "momma, this is your gift!"
"want to play cars with me, mommy? you're a good play-wither."
"mommy- you look so handsome. i am handsome, too."
they look thrilled, right?
but having my husband take these meant so much
he insisted and knew how much they would later mean to me- so sweet.
a year ago, on this very day, i knew that it would be one month (or less) until he would arrive.
a planned c-section for june 12 was set at the end of april
now, it's a love to deep- i can't even remember life without him.
he wanted to wear my newly thrifted hat all day
i thought a lot about my own mother and my grandma (who will be ninety-years-old in july) up in the midwest. the sacrifices, the countless memories (especially of life in the country/growing up on farms), and most of all, the unconditional love they have both always shown me. and i thought about my sister- who is a warrior, a dedicated and very tired momma- as she navigates two kids under two at the moment. it's so hard. and trying. and she is doing her very best. and i am so proud of her.
oh, to be surrounded by beauty. i honestly think life's too short to live otherwise. spring has really sprung - the sunshine, the colors to fill our days with bits of things that make us smile.
"there is nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so don't expect yourself to do so either."
maybe it's because i don't really like to be the center of attention? ... but mother's day has quickly become even more special than a birthday. i adore and love it more than i thought i would.
maybe it's the pride i feel by being a mom... birthing, taking care of my sons, watching them grow every day.
maybe it's the other women- especially the close ones in my own life; the ones who make me feel like i am part of a community- one like no other. a look into their eyes, a simple nod, recognizing the really hard days and the indescribable love, and hugging other mommas after church yesterday- it's such a special bond.
motherhood is
it's loss
it's folding up tiny onesies
it's lots of grace
it's perseverance
and waiting
your heart whispering, 'i have waited for you.'
it's in the beautiful faces of my sons.
parks + nash
you have my whole heart
thank you for making my life so incredibly precious-
so full of the little joys.
(you have both made my mom dreams come true- beyond measure)

During English class, we are currently reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. It is one of those books where you have to reread it over and over again to understand its contents since there are deeper meanings hidden behind the words. Sometimes, I would read it and wonder what the chapter was about. When you read a book repeatedly, you discover new things. You might find out new things that you never caught before in the text or finally understand the message the story was conveying. Rereading the book is helpful since you might not understand the content now, but after a while, if you read it again, you'll understand it better when you're able to relate to the book. You will find a new deeper meaning to the words instead of just simply taking it from the context. When reading A Tale of Two Cities, you have to think outside of the box. Once you understand the content, it's that moment of pride where you feel like you've achieved something.
When making treats, there will always be a time where things don't turn out right, and we just want to be done with it. We want to accept the result and give up. However, if we can't get it right the first time, we should not be frustrated and give up. We should try to make the treats over again until it comes out right so we understand how to make it. It will take a lot of hard work and persistence, but think of the results at the end. Sometimes, you might even discover new things to make the treats better along the way. The satisfaction of accomplishing and findings new things adds to the excitement too!
