Amongst the Indian mesh of rituals and practices where dowry, honour killing, child marriage, exorcism etc. are seen as abhorrent, how would you react to the bestial practise of Cannibalism being prevalent in a holy nook of India?
Sure, India nurtures a vast plurality of rituals and practices but it is also the grounds for one of the most loathed, feared, grisly yet mystic practice of cannibalism.
This bizarre tribe of cannibal mystics in India known as the Aghori or Aghori sadhus are commonly found in North India along the Ganges river, especially in the sacred town of Varanasi.
The post contains marvellous pictures taken by an Italian photographer, Cristiano Ostinelli, who spent time with the tribe to portray their cannibalistic way of life.
Here is a low-down on this menacing culture that will make you cringe beyond imagination:
1. Aghoris are stern followers of Lord Shiva.
2. The Hindu cremation ground, a place of dismay and consternation, is home for the Aghori tribe. They believe in confronting death or decay.
3. Aghoris eat left over from human dead bodies on the banks of river Ganges. They drink in a bowl or a dish made of the human skull, called kappla. They consume rotten food and left-over food from garbage tins, animal's faeces and urine.
4. The human flesh is cut from corpses and then either eaten raw, cooked over an open flame, or sometimes consumed in a putrid state.
5. As unbelievable as it may seem, chopping heads off animals for consumption and meditating on top of dead bodies in quest of spiritual enlightenment, is also known to this bizarre tribe.
6. You will usually find these sadhus with painted faces and clad in jewellery or trinkets made from human bone fragments, and some make use of walking sticks made from a human femur. They apply ash from the human pyre.
7. Interestingly enough, Aghoris are also constantly smoking marijuana, which they claim not to do for enhancing their concentration on the spiritual practices and rituals.
This radical way of life stems from stern belief that nothing is pure or impure. Aghoris believe in the non-dualistic nature of the universe and thus, oppose any form of discrimination. They believe that God is Omnipresent, be it cow dung or food, unholy or filthy.
While most of the above-listed practices may seem grotesque at the very thought of it, Aghoris believe that it helps slaughter our ego and become closer to God.
However, some people are known to exude great confidence in these monists for their healing powers. Aghori healers perform rituals in which they transfer illness, disease from the victim into themselves, after which they expel it through magical powers.
But we are left to wonder what encourages them to adopt this radical and fringe school of thought. Do they really attain enlightenment?
India is indeed a land of contrasts. Where on one hand we are advancing in leap and bounds, such stereotypes continue to thrive. While most of the civilized societies have frowned upon it, share with us your views about it.

With all the information out there now a days, you don't only need to worry about what your content is but how to market it properly. According to Anita Campbell, founder, CEO and publisher of Small Business Trends, "You can't expect to just write and have visitors come to you—that's too passive." How do you make your content as readable and perceptible as possible? Check out these tips to increase readership and make your next story go viral.
Make it shareable. I know this might seem obvious, but you would be surprised at just how many organizations publish information that isn't easily shareable. Make sure your company doesn't make that mistake! Find the easiest point of recognition on your article, whether that is the top or bottom, and make sure there is an easy way for your consumers to post it via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Pinterest.
According to Facebook spokesperson Malorie Lucich, "People share, read and generally engage with any type of content when it's surfaced through friends and people they know and trust."
Post it to professional groups. This can easily be done on LinkedIn groups or Facebook organizations. Another idea would be to send it out to people of interest. If you respond to another article with your opinion then send it to the original site! If you think another organization would benefit from posting it then send it to them! This could even be as easy as tweeting a link with the tagline "Check out this article on…" and tagging companies or people of interest. This will give you access to their network.
Get bloggers interested. Do you ever sit at your computer thinking where is everyone and why aren't they reading my content? They are reading blogs! When marketing content, many foolishly forget the market of bloggers. If you get one blogger interested, you expand your possible reach by their entire audience. These work a lot like professional groups in terms that they both have specialized audiences.
One difference with bloggers, however, is that they are typically less formal and have less rules than traditional journalists. This allows more trust on a personal level not purely from a business stand point. Bloggers can be integral in the establishment of loyal readers and an established brand image.
Make it skim-able. As heartbreaking as it may be for you to think about, the majority of your readers will not read every word of your content. Keep them engaged with the use of bold words, much like this article. This highlights the most important parts and from there they can gather the main points and decide from there if they will read the rest. Most consumers are not going to publicly share articles or posts if they feel that it will bore their consumers or friends.
Use lists or bullets. Lists and bullets not only keep the article from dragging on but they show the consumer something very important: the end is near. In this day and age, most people are not going to sit down and take out a large portion of their day for long articles. Lists and bullets show your reader where exactly the information will be ending and just how fast they can return to their normal lives.
Include videos or visuals. Full text articles lead your readers to one thing: yawning. Don't bore your readers. This is rule one of all writing, internet or otherwise. Have a long article? Break it up with some relevant pictures. If you are writing about an important cause or an event that just took place then make a video to go along with it.
This could include videos that your organization made itself mixed together with some stills and music that fits the tone. Even include some relevant videos done by someone else, just remember to cite them. There is a reason that music festivals, airlines, cruises and, now even states, turn to promotional videos. People like them. It gets them excited and involved so involve your audience and give them what they want!

Musician Spotlight—Meet Phil Shirley, Principal Bassoon
When Phil Shirley was a student at the University of Kansas, he took a job at the campus library and found he liked the work more than he had liked any other job. That led to an academic focus in library science, and he went on to earn his master's degree in library and information science at the University of Texas in Austin.
He is now the IT manager at the Cuyahoga Falls Library. "I like to work at a place that helps the community," Phil said.
Phil's other job is that of a bassoon player, and he has been the principal bassoonist with the Tuscarawas Philharmonic for many years.
While growing up in Tulsa, OK, Phil explored his musical interest by learning to play the clarinet in the seventh grade, but he switched to bassoon. "I loved it from the very beginning because of the weird, rich sound," he recalled, "and the fact that it was unusual."
He credits Ron Wheeler, the conductor of the Tulsa Youth Symphony, as an early influence and mentor.
Phil went on to play bassoon in college, performing with the university orchestra and woodwind quintets in Kansas, and later with the orchestra in Austin as well.
Now with the Philharmonic, Phil particularly enjoys performing original works by Eric Benjamin. And on his own time, when listening to music for enjoyment, he draws on his eclectic taste and often chooses the a cappella group The Bobs or the polka/rock band out of Texas, Brave Combo. He might even listen to a little novelty music from "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Phil and his wife, Anna, live in Akron with their standard poodle, Pippa. In their spare time, they enjoy hiking.

This 100% Pinot Grigio is sourced from hillside vineyards throughout the provinces of Trentino, the Veneto, and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, the three districts that together form northeast Italy's Tre Venezie region. The grapes are harvested by hand and then during vinification the Pinot Grigio, the grape skins are left in contact with the juice, resulting in a natural delicate rosé hue.
The Principato label has been in existence sine 1978 and has become a well known brand in the United states and I think this wine might even have been an exclusive for a wine in the Olive Garden restaurant chain. (At least locally here in Arizona)
It is a lightly colored blush wine that has a pinkish orange like hue and It almost has the color of lightly colored salmon flesh. On the nose the wine shows aromas of citrus peel, delicate floral aromas, and perhaps a touch of wet concrete. On the palate the wine is light and fruity, and even has a touch of residual sugar. Soft citrus notes combine with just the faintest hint of light red fruit and finish with a crisp, delightful, and pleasant aftertaste.
I can see this wine pairing nicely with light appetizers, fresh seafood and Asian-inspired cuisine. I do believe it drinks nice on its own and would be a great picnic style wine that would be fun with cheese and crackers.

The history of Field of Hope stems from a simple yet profound event that took place in 2010.
Brandy Young, one of our founders and a farm girl from Illinois, was on an Adventures in Missions trip called The World Race. The trip covered 11 countries in 11 months. She was in the middle of the journey of serving and blessing others when she landed in Northern Uganda. There she encountered the profound challenges of agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. The people she met were humble, hard-working, and filled with love. She learned that Uganda is a country where over 80% of the people are involved in agriculture, yet nearly the vast majority of farm work is done by hand. Crop yields are low and diseases and pests are prevalent. Hunger and food shortages during the dry season are commonplace.
Her farm girl roots made it difficult for her to understand what she saw versus what she had experienced on her parents' farm growing up… primitive agriculture versus modern agriculture. She kept thinking, "There are known solutions to these farmers' problems!" That morning she prayed… prayers for direction, prayers for solutions, prayers to be used by God in this great work ahead.
Shortly after this experience, Brandy got in touch with friends and shared her vision for a ministry called Field of Hope. As they say, the rest is history.
Since that time Field of Hope has grown from an idea and a prayer into a reality.
The Field of Hope story is still being written today. There is much to do and challenges abound, but the central focus of Field of Hope remains; how can we be a blessing to build agriculture competency and capability for farmers and youth/orphans around the world?
Ugandan Background
The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), started by Joseph Kony, was a rebel group that terrorized Uganda, specifically the northern region, from 1986 to 2006. Some smaller groups of the LRA still remain in Central Africa. Tens of thousands were kidnapped, mutilated, or killed by the LRA.
During the rebellion, 1.8 million people were displaced, most in government internment camps where they lived in temporary housing with multiple people for up to twenty years. When people returned to their homes after the peace agreement in 2006, they did not receive resettlement packages – they returned with nothing. While the cities are beginning to gain traction, those smallholder farmers in rural northern Uganda are still living in severe poverty.

Eyebrow Threading - To Thread Or Not To Thread?
There are quite a few ways to shape your eyebrows today, and eyebrow threading is quite popular for this. After all, your eyebrows make your makeup look and they shape your entire face; your eyebrows can speak as much as your eyes and they are just as noticeable, so today, let's talk about the pros and cons of eyebrow threading, so that you can decide for yourself if you want to do it.
There are far more pros than cons to eyebrow threading. Firstly, out of all the different ways you can shape your eyebrows, eyebrow threading in my opinion, gives you the most defined, shaped, and on point eyebrows, since it removes even the smallest of hairs that tweezers and razors tend to miss. Eyebrow threading is also fast; a quick 5-10 minute procedure, and it lasts 3-4 weeks. Since it lasts so long, it is also quite cost effective and really low maintenance; eyebrow threading makes your eyebrows easier and much faster to style with your makeup each day. In my personal experience, eyebrow threading is faster than shaping your eyebrows yourself because it takes me about 15-20 minutes to shape my eyebrows with a razor.
Another benefit is that it is easy to find places that do eyebrow threading. The place that I would go for eyebrow threading is the mall, and it generally costs only $10 - $15 each time. It is for all these reasons that Eyebrow threading is what I recommend for beginners because you don't have to worry about removing too much hair or accidentally doing a terrible job and making your brows look misshapen or uneven. However, despite these benefits, there are people that I would not recommend eyebrow threading for, so let's move on to this now.
Eyebrow threading can irritate and redden the skin a bit, but this also leads to the misconception that eyebrow threading hurts a lot, but actually, the thread is so thin and fine and moves so fast across your skin, that it actually does not hurt that much; people often lounge comfortably while getting their eyebrows threaded, in part because, when you get used to something, you no longer notice it anymore. I use an electric tweezer/epilator to remove excess hair on my face, which feels similar to eyebrow threading, but over time, I stopped feeling the electric tweezer after just a few times, and even when I felt it, the pain was really not that bad. Since it can create redness and slight irritation though, you should apply an oil to your brows after having them shaped, or a moisturizing healing gel. I always apply an antiseptic to my brows after shaping them in case my razor wasn't as clean as I thought it was, as well as to make sure that no germs enter the now open and sensitive skin.
Redness and irritation aside, there is a more series health concern that comes with eyebrow threading, which is that the thread that is used is often not changed or cleaned between each person, so it is good practice to make sure that you apply an antiseptic to your brows as soon as threading is finished. After all, there are mites, known as Demodex mites, a type of parasite that eats away the hairs on people's faces and lives on their face, especially the brows.
These mites act like lice, and you don't want to bring them home, so this is a major con to eyebrow threading. Thus, people who worry about hygiene, should not get eyebrow threading done.
"While there are countless different types of bacteria, mites, parasites and germs living all over our bodies, one area that people seem specifically interested in is our eyebrows. The fact that we have creepy crawlies living in our eyebrows – big enough to be classified as mites...creep(s) us out. And indeed it's true that this region – along with our eyelashes and nose hairs – provide a habitat for a specific species of mites...Sometimes these mites are known as face mites or follicle mites, but they are technically known as Demodex." Source of quotation: "Meet the Bugs That Live in Your Eyebrows", 2014, By Dr. Janice Rachael Mae. HealthGuidance for Better Health. https://www.healthguidance.org/entry/17240/1/meet-the-bugs-that-live-in-your-eyebrows.html
Final Thoughts: If you are worried about hygiene, then I don't recommend eyebrow threading. Now, If you can find someone to give you fresh thread when threading your eyebrows, then I definitely recommend doing it, but it is because of this hygiene issue, that I don't get my eyebrows threaded. Gradually, over time though, as you get more comfortable and skilled with your makeup, you will slowly be able to shape your own brows, but for beginners, I don't recommend shaping your own eyebrows at first, so in this case, I do recommend eyebrow threading, but make sure you use antiseptic on them immediately afterwards.

Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
If Star Wars: The Force Awakens was incredibly faithful to Star Wars mythology, then Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the shake-up the franchise sorely needed. While it still has plenty of callbacks and references, and tonally is in line with other Star Wars movies, it goes in surprising directions and is unafraid to burn everything down in order to create something new.
Nowhere is that clearer in how writer-director Rian Johnson handles the ending of his film. To this point, the main Star Wars movies have essentially been the Skywalker Saga. The prequel trilogy followed the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, and the original trilogy was about his children, Luke and Leia. Although The Force Awakens brought in new characters like Rey, Finn, and Poe alongside villains like Kylo Ren, General Hux, and Supreme Leader Snoke, it also kept original trilogy fixtures Luke, Leia, and Han. Additionally, even though he's largely absent for almost the entire film, the figure of Luke Skywalker looms large over The Force Awakens. He's the person everyone wants to find, and his actions led to Ben Solo becoming Kylo Ren and the fracturing of the original trio's friendship.
And yet where does The Last Jedi leave us? You can see that in its original intent, it was probably trying to lead up to giving Leia Episode IX after Han's death in The Force Awakens and Luke's deth at the end of The Last Jedi (although whether or not he returns as a Force Ghost remains to be seen). However, with the death of Carrie Fisher last year, it looks like Leia will remain off-screen (Lucasfilm has already squashed the idea of doing a digital version like they did with Gran Moff Tarkin in Rogue One), and that really means the end of the Skywalkers for Episode IX. Technically, Kylo Ren is a Skywalker so it's not like the story will be Skywalker-free, but they're no longer driving the action since Rey isn't a Skywalker.
For some, Rey's lineage will undoubtedly be a controversial point for the next two years: Was Kylo Ren telling the truth when he told Rey that her parents were nobodies, just junkers who sold her for beer money and abandoned her? We spend a large portion of The Last Jedi wondering if Rey and Kylo Ren are connected by more than just than the Force and if they could be siblings. But if that were the case, that would mean that Han Solo and Leia abandoned their daughter. To rectify that and not make those heroes seem like awful people, you would need an exposition dump of some kind where someone offers a longwinded explanation about why Han Solo and Leia would leave their daughter in the middle of nowhere as well as why they never made any attempt to reunite with her.
Where Johnson really puts the nail in the coffin regarding Rey's parentage is in the final scene. If Rey's parents are anyone we've met before, whether they're Skywalkers, Solos, or Kenobis, it makes her special due the circumstances of her birth. She becomes a "Chosen One" figure by virtue of having been born to a recognizable name. But the last scene of The Last Jedi tosses that traditional mythology out the window by showing us an unnamed slave child who uses the Force to casually grab a broom. He then holds the handle like a lightsaber hilt, looks up at the stars, and we can see Rose's Resistance ring on his finger. What Johnson is telling us in this scene is that the future isn't going to be some exalted figure or a person of prophecy, but instead it's going to be "nobodies" like Rey. It's going to be the downtrodden and the ignored who have always had the power to be more than their circumstances implied.

Spike Lee isn't the only prolific filmmaker to have put out two films this year (Jason Reitman, for one, has done so). But, Lee may be the only filmmaker to direct two masterpieces this year…..
Synopsis: It's the early 1970s, a time of great social upheaval as the struggle for civil rights rages on. Ron Stallworth becomes the first African-American detective on the Colorado Springs Police Department, but his arrival is greeted with skepticism and open hostility by the department's rank and file. Undaunted, Stallworth resolves to make a name for himself and a difference in his community. He bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. (Focus Features)
Starring: John David Washington, Adam Driver, and Laura Harrier
Writers: Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott, and Spike Lee
Director: Spike Lee
Rating: 14A (Canada)/R (United States)
Running Time: 135mins
Spike Lee is not only a filmmaker. He is also a screenwriter, an activist and a provocateur- amongst many other things. Cinephiles are aware of the fact that Lee is now a master of his craft. After over 30 years in the biz, and 30+ directorial works into his career, Lee has made a multitude of critically acclaimed films. He has also hit quite a low point in recent memory- his 2013 remake of Oldboy was notably panned by critics and audiences. However, now more than ever, Lee has combined all of his talents and everything he knows best to create his opus- the truly powerful BlacKkKlansman.
The undercover cop story here is familiar, but the way it merges with the subject matter at hand is truly fascinating. The way the screenplay portrays Ron Stallworth (Washington) is quite intriguing, and the way his character is built gives us something to take apart and analyze as the film plays out. The most important part to a story as a whole though, is the dual Stallworth effect- considering fellow cop Flip Zimmerman (Driver) has to play him in person to protect the safety of the man himself.
This film is also often horrifying in the way it depicts the KKK- and it is all handled with such care. In particular, one scene which features an audience of Klan members viewing a screening of the blaxploitation film Birth of a Nation is nauseatingly bone chilling, and will likely remain the best scene of the year. The way Lee handles this idea with such confidence makes this extremely tense true story even more nail-biting. The way Lee directs the film, and the way he ties all of his complex ideas with a shiny bow- is masterful, unlike anything this review has ever seen. The way Lee handles this idea with such confidence makes this extremely tense true story even more nail-biting.
The performances here are as expected, fantastic. In their lead roles, Washington and Driver need to form as one for this to work as well as it does, and thankfully, their captivating performances made it possible. In particular, Washington lives up to the legacy that his father, Denzel, (who worked with Lee on the iconic Malcolm X) created for him, as he proves to be one to look out for in the near future. Topher Grace as "Grand Wizard" David Duke is something truly different for him, and he is quite memorable in his turn- with makeup and prosthetics that make him unrecognizable to boot. Most notably, in terms of acting, is the absolutely terrifying bow from Jasper Pääkkönen as one of the lead Klan members, Felix Kendrickson. His heart-pounding on-screen presence at this moment of time deserves to win best supporting actor at the Oscars.
Also worth noting here is the editing- frequent Lee collaborator Barry Alexander Brown takes some awesome creative liberties in the way he cuts this one together. The film starts with footage from Gone With the Wind and other blaxploitation films, and ends with footage from the Charlottesville riots. In particular, this decision ties everything up so well, and makes you view the film it is sandwiched between quite differently.
BlacKkKlansman is a masterpiece, there is truly no other way to put it. Spike Lee has reached his peak, and this is without question the best film of the year. This will have a long lasting impact on many, myself included, and fills you up with the best and most powerful kind of hatred for the pure evil that the film is centered around.
Score: 10/10

Primavera is made to a Manchego recipe, Spain's most celebrated cheese. Manchego was so named for it was traditionally made only from the milk of Manchego (mahn-CHAY-goe) sheep that grazed the plains of Castile-La Mancha. Manchego comes in a variety of styles, the most popular exports being the slightly sharp "curado" (aged about 1 year), to the dryer and sharper "anejo" (aged over 2 years). The skin of the cheese is often rubbed with oil to add flavour and varies in color from beige to grayish-black, with an unmistakeable "herringbone" pattern around the rind. The younger Manchego has a rich, full and mellow flavour with a semi-soft, off-white paste, while the aged version is more golden, firmer and has a touch more bite. The final cheese is usually smeared with olive oil and surface mould is removed. It has a number of holes and a mild, slightly briny, nutty flavor. It is sold at various stages of maturity: at the age of 13 weeks it is described as curado (cured) and, when over three months old, it is referred to as viejo (aged). There is a peppery bite to cheeses that have reached a great age.
How should I use this cheese?
As an hors d' oeuvre, we love to cut Primavera into thin triangular wafers and lightly top each piece with a quince paste or a plum pate.
Postage details.

|In the good hands of her godma
As it was past 7pm, I didn't know where to take him as most dental clinics were closed. So I called up #1's godma again and asked her where I should take him to. She said the only place open would be the A&E of any hospital. I was not keen on that as I know we would have to end up waiting a few hours to be examined.
I described to her what had happened and she asked me to check if the tooth was broken or chipped. It wasn't. Then she asked me to check if it was shaky or out of alignment. (He screamed when I tried to move his tooth to check). But no, it wasn't noticeably shaky. She explained that the black spot was just the blood clotting. We decided that it could wait till tomorrow for me to take him to his regular paediatric dentist. He showered and promptly fell asleep.
The next morning, he woke and came downstairs as per normal. Our helper had already put out his breakfast and he sat down to eat it without any problems. I was observing him quietly but decided not to mention about his tooth. I concluded that since he could eat without any pain, he should be alright. After a couple of bites, he suddenly grimaced and said "My tooth hurts". I asked him if the pain was just a little or a lot. He said "A little". I examined his tooth and the bleeding had stopped and the alignment looked fine. I tried to shake it and it was not shaky, so that was a good sign. There was just a tiny trace of blood left between the tooth and the gums.
|Swelling almost disappeared overnight
Sane tip: Even when there is a lot of blood, I have learnt to pause and try to figure out if they need immediate medical attention. We have had quite a few visits to the A&E over the past 15 years (fractures, allergies) and I don't relish sitting there with a sick child for hours. I'd much rather sit it out at home in comfort and see the doctor the next morning. However, it is only with so much experience after this many kids that I can trust my instincts to know when to seek help immediately and when not to.
Save tip: I'm also extremely grateful to all our friends and relatives who are doctors or dentists whom we can turn to for help and information, saving us many unnecessary trips to the A&E!

Thomas and friends Tram Toby's Windmill
One day Tram Toby was collecting a load of flour trucks to take along the Sodor Island railway line for the bustling town market place, but he was so busy watching the windmill sails spinning that he forgot to look where he was going crashing into the train trucks.
All the mill's flour production was damaged and the miller was upset. If I can't sell all my wheat flour sacks to the birthday cake bakery shop, I will have to shutdown the windmill said the miller sorrowfully. I'm sorry sighed Toby the tram engine.
Steam train Harvey the crane engine arrived to put the Sodor railway trucks back on the rail tracks. Tram Toby was sad asking his drive, what will the miller do if his mill shuts down, it's a shame Toby train said his locomotive driver but we must hurry home, these is a dark stormy sky on the way.
Toby the tank engine couldn't sleep that night, it wasn't the crashing sound of thunder and lighting that was keeping him awake, it was the thought of the pore miller. That terrible stormy night the old wind mill house was struck by a gigantic flash of lighting knocking off the sail blades and burning the tower.
The next morning Tram Toby the tank engine carefully chuffed along his country branchline track, the rain storm had shredded trees from the ground and farm building had been damaged, then Toby saw the most shocking sight of all, the old windmill tower is broken he cried.
This means the end of my whole grain flour bag business said the corn miller sadly, I can't afford the raw material wooden timber to make repairs, Toby tram engine really wanted to help him, there must be away. Further down the railway track is driver saw a fallen tree ahead, Harvey the crane engine working with Terence tractor were clearing the track.
The stationmaster fat controller Thomas the tank's manager was very cross this summer nights storm has caused confusion and delay remove this tree immediately, but this really useful train tram engine had an idea, please Sir Topham the windmill has been broken the excellent wooden timber logs from this fallen oak tree can mend it and make it work again, a splendid idea agreed the fat controller.
Toby tram proudly tuck the large forest tree to the millers farm yard, the miller was delighted saying now we can fix and build the windmill backup again, it will be as good as new.
He watch as the rebuilding wood work began it tuck a long time to finish, but at last the new Toby's windmill construction was all completed and looking grand.
The fat controller was most imprested at fine carpenter workmanship; the corn miller was grateful also, thank you Thomas and friends Toby tank engine your idea saved my windmill, Toby engine beamed happily.
Nowadays the new windmill producers more whole wheat flour than ever before, Tram engine Toby and the Windmill are chock-a-block doing activities now, make twice as many trips to the Sodor market shops, he's never tires of watching the blowing wind energy sails go round. He is very proud that the miller now calls it Tram Toby's windmill view.

Express Gordon Takes a Shortcut
Slow train Stanley was running behind flight schedule to land in the terminal station in Knapford.
Tank engine Gordon the big express locomotive had to take Stanley's first class coach passengers to the sea ship tanker port at Brendam docks.
At long last the small steam train Stanly tank engine puffed into the railway platform, o I am sorry I'm late "I tuck a shortcut but I got lost".
I never get misplaced boasted express train Gordon I know the railroad better than every other one of the chatting engines.
The fat controller standing on the luxury Knapford platform told them, that there are some very important passengers and a group of railway-workman waiting in the old town of Great Waterton at station, the first engine to arrive will pickup the very important traveling passengers, the seconded will pickup the line workman.
The two great locomotives Spencer and Gordon Thomas the tank engine's friends didn't want to pickup the workman they wanted to pickup the very important passengers only. "I've got to get coal and water I will see you in Great Waterton" said Stanley the tank engine as he happily steamed away down the train tracks.
The big blue giant Gordon the tank engine was determined to reach his destination at Great Waterton first, so he jetted away to the sunny coastal seaside Brendam docks as swiftly as he could.
Almost immediately he delivered the rail passengers of Stanley the tank engine and speedy did fly away to Great Waterton town as fast as his blue engine boiler would bubble the steam to take him along. Express train Gordon engine arrived at some train track junction points he could see silver Stanley tank to the front of him he was worried he would be second to land.
Then he had a gigantic idea, if I take a shortcut he thought to him self I will arrive at Great Waterton, before tank engine Stanley and I won't get lost on the way.
So Gordon Takes a Shortcut on the other train tracks turning of his main line.
He steams contentedly along, as Gordon takes a shortcut route down a peace and quiet small branch line, soon arriving at the train signal stop.
There he found Duck the great western engine who was having an engine wash down; green Duck the tank engine was surprised to witness big Gordon the train a long distant from the main express track, have you misplaced your way, "would you like some assistances" said Duck the Great Western Engine.
No thank you I'm not lost and he chuffed away. Big express train Gordon steamed further along his country side branchline short cut.
I should be at Great Waterton station house by now he thought. Gordon the train was steaming around the bend ahead there was a wooden train bridge flyover, hip-hip-hooray that should be the Great Waterton wooden Bridge. But beneath the railway bridge it wasn't Great Waterton, it was a small steamworks engine repair yard.
Gordon the train glimpses of his friends Oliver the Great Western Engine and Toad the brakevan they were having there hot box iron wheels oiled, Tank engine Oliver and Toad brakevan were astonished to witness Gordon the big blue engine so far away from the high-speed train tracks.
"Have you gone astray" said GWR Oliver engine "would you like some help" said toad box van!
No thank you I'm not lost and he rapidly chuffed away down the line. Gordon the tank engine steamed along now he was more worried taking a shortcut was taking extended time also much longer.
Then he approached another railway bridge, hip-hip-hooray here's the Great Waterton Town overpass, however under this old town bridge it wasn't Great Waterton it was the truck shunting yard sidings of a pine tree logging station plant.
Express Gordon the tank engine had never been there before in this new part of the Island.
Not so far in the distance Gordon the big engine heard steam train Stanley's loud sounding blowing whistle coming from the lower hill rail tracks below, Stanley the tank engine was catching up he huffed to him self I must jet ahead at jumbo speed.
This Sodor train Gordon the big engine pumped his pistons, then there was big trouble on the line, Ben tank engine was shunting a flatbed load of wood logs, Big Gordon thumped strait into them. The logs started to roll down the high hill side embankment. Bust my buffer those logs will block the lower railway tracks, I must stop Train Stanley, but express Gordon the tank engine didn't know which railway lines to take.
He was really lost Brendam Bay Ben tank engine said "what have you done Gordon train".
Gordon Takes a Shortcut and it had gone wrong for him, now he kneaded to ask for help quietly he asked "can you help me Ben I have to get to the lower track as soon as possible" Train Ben replied "of course" Ben the tank engine was in high spirits in lending him a hand.
Soon the track was clear and Gordon steamed away, he had to warn Stanley, then Gordon the tank engine arrived at a crossover line junction fork in the tracks but he didn't have a clue to which approach to use or the way to go next. Then he saw Oliver and Toad the brakevan puffing towards him, "please stop I am lost I knead the direction of the lower tracks as promptly as possible" called Gordon.
Oliver the western engine was happy to help and tolled him to "take the left hand track" and express Gordon raced on.
Then he came to a new railway track junction he didn't know which way to travel, then he was Duck chuffing over a bridge, Gordon the train called out aloud to Duck tank engine "please shop I am lost and in a hurry".
Duck the western railway engine was glad to help "you must take the track on the right hand track curve" and Gordon locomotive steamed off saying "thank you he shouted".
At last Gordon the train puffed onto the lower track he could get a better view and spot the all different shaped large wooden logs had fallen onto Staley's narrow line; then he spotted Stanley the tank engine coming round the long curve tracking bend.
Thomas and friends Gordon the tank engine blew his steam whistle sound long and loud "STOP STANLEY STOP" he called.
Stanley applied his anchor brakes sliding and screeching to a halt immediately in front of the scatted logs at the bottom of the hill side. Soon the best friend of Cranky, Rocky the crane appeared the Sodor Islands strongest iron man lifter of cargo and pine wood logs, Rocky crane removed the wooden logs in a second from the blocked rails.
He humbly said "I am sorry Stanley this is all my responsibility, I wished to take a short cut, I wished to fetch the extremely important passengers, but now I wish for you to collect then".
Tiny train Stanley was delighted at this news, later that day, the very important passengers were all aboard Stanley's carriages and Stanley felt extremely proud.
Gordon drove into Great Waterton station to collect the Rail yard work men; he spoke to Stanley saying "I won't take a shortcut this time" Stanley chuckle and Gordon smiled at his latest friend. See Train Thomas and friends Youtube movie of express Gordon Takes a Shortcut.

Thomas Terence and the Snow
As Thomas puffed along he heard to chugging sound of a farm tractor at work on the land. One day he stopping opposite the old meadow, for a red railway signal, he saw the tractor close by, hello side the orange tractor I'm Terence the tractor I'm ploughing the corn field. I'm Thomas furthermore I'm pulling a train. What horrible ugly wheels you have got, there not ugly there caterpillar said Terence I can go any were, I dot require rails. I don't want to go anywhere said Thomas the train huffily I like my steam rails thank you. Thomas often saw Terence the tractor working but though he whistled his steam trumpet, Terence never answered him.
The bleak winter weather season approached and with it came dark heavy clouds full of snow showers. I don't like this unpleasantly cold and chilly temperature climate said Thomas driver heavy snowfall conditions are coming soon. I hope it doesn't shop use, who side Thomas seeing the snow melt on the rails, soft stuff nothing to it and he puffed on felling cold but confident, they finished there journey safely but the country was covered and the rails were two dark lines standing out in the white snow.
You will need your snow plough for the next journey said Thomas's driver, snow is silly soft stuff it won't shop me, listen to me his driver replied we are going to fix your winter snow plough on and want no nonsense please. The snow plough was heavy and uncomfortable this made Thomas bad-tempered he shuck it and band it, when they arrived back at the Sodor railway shed roundhouse the plough was so broken and damage that the driver had to remove it. You're a extremely naughty engine said the driver to the little blue frightful train, as he shut the glistening white frosted railway shed doors, that cold winters night. Next morning both driver and fireman came to the shed in the early hours and toiled hard to attempt to position back together the snow plough, but they couldn't make it fasten properly to the buffers.
It was time for the first train Thomas was pleased I shall not have the wear it he cheerfully puffed to the two faithful coachers Annie and Clarabel, I hope it's alright they wisped anxiously to each other, the driver was anxious as well. It's not terrible in the goods yard he said to the fireman but the blizzard sure ought to be deep in the valley.
It was snowing again when Thomas started his travel but the rails were not covered, silly soft stuff he puffed I didn't need that stupid old thing yesterday and I shan't require it today, the snow can't halt me and he swiftly rushed in to the tunnel thinking how clever he was.
At the other end of the railway train tunnel he saw a large heap of frozen snow that had fallen form the backside slopes, silly old snow said Thomas and charged at it at full speed. Smoking cinders and ashes called the little blue train as he crashed into the beep cold snowdrift I am stuck. Reverse Thomas back up called his engine driver, Tank Engine Thomas tried but the wheels just slipped on the frozen metal rails, he was wedged in the snow more new flurries fell and stacked up all around him. The railway guard when home to the station for assistance, leaving the driver fire-man and passengers all helping the dig the snow covered tracks clear, but as quickly as they were digging additional horrid snowfall slipped downwards until Thomas engine was covered. My poor blue wheels and coupling rods said ice-covered Thomas the train miserably I shall have to stay here waiting for assist whilst getting frozen, what a childish engine I am and Thomas started to whimper.
Soon red Bertie bus appears on the roadway to save the stranded passengers, next to turn-up was Terence the tractor and the Snow on no account worries him, he moved the two faithful coachers Annie and Clarabel down the line and then retuned back for trapped train Thomas. Terence tractor caterpillar rubber wheels had iron man grip on the slippery ice he pulled and heaved dragging Thomas away from the deep show drifted. Thomas restart your voyage back home called his drive, Tank Thomas and Terence said goodbye as he drove humbly away home.

Harry hooks first three mackerel of the year
The first mackerel of the year has been caught from Lyme Regis – and the second and the third.
On his first mackerel trip of the year out to sea, Lyme Regis fisherman Harry May caught three mackerel on Mother's Day after setting the lines for the first time. This is the first time the first mackerel catch of the season has hauled in three fish, and also comes a month sooner than last year, with the first mackerel then caught on May 1.
Harry said, "I had gone out by myself to give the boat a run and to set the mackerel lines for the first time to see if everything was right. It was the first time the lines had been set this year and I caught three mackerel immediately. This is the first time we have caught three so early on, so it bodes well for the summer ahead."
The time-honoured Lyme Regis tradition of handing over the first mackerel to the town mayor was duly observed, with Mayor Sally Holman presented with all three mackerel by fisherman Harry May.
Harry added: "It is quite unusual that they are here so early even though it is great to see them. Last year, because it was so cold, the sea temperature was right down and the mackerel were very, very late.We didn't catch a single one until May 1 but this year, because of the mild weather in the winter and the good weather at the moment, they have come early. To catch three in March is great. The mayor was absolutely delighted to get them. She said she would have been delighted with just one but because there were three it will make her a big meal."
This article first appeared in the Bridport & Lyme Regis News, Thursday, April 3, 2014.
Harry May is once more open for business with his ever popular Lyme Regis mackerel fishing trips and Lyme Regis deep sea fishing trips.

Groups sue S.F., trying to halt AT&T utility boxes
San Francisco Beautiful and other groups opposed to AT&T's plans to install hundreds of utility boxes on public sidewalks sued the city Wednesday in an attempt to derail or, at the very least, slow down the project.
The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, comes after last month's 6-5 vote by the Board of Supervisors to let AT&T move forward without first conducting a full-blown environmental review. City planners had determined that the analysis was not warranted.
The boxes - each measuring 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide by 2 feet deep - will house equipment for digital television, phone service and high-speed Internet.
Under the deal negotiated with supervisors, AT&T agreed to work with the community on the best places to locate the boxes, and also gave each supervisor the right to reject specific locations in his or her district. And while the company got permission to install up to 726 of the boxes on the public right-of-way, no more than 495 would go in without first going back to the full board for permission.
But San Francisco Beautiful, along with San Francisco Tomorrow, Dogpatch Neighborhood Association, Potrero Boosters Neighborhood Association and Duboce Triangle Neighborhood Association, have asked the court to order the environmental review and to block the installation of any boxes, which they view as eyesores and impediments for pedestrians, while the case is pending.
"We really don't want to sue, but we are left with no choice when the city refuses to uphold its own environment codes and is about to give away our sidewalks for the benefit of a private company without objective review," said Milo Hanke, past president of San Francisco Beautiful and a spokesman for the litigants.
He said the study could offer possible alternatives, such as placing the metal boxes on private property.
Matt Dorsey, a spokesman for the city attorney, declined comment to give the lawyers who will work on the case time to review it.
AT&T didn't comment specifically on the lawsuit, but Lane Kasselman, a company spokesman, said, "This is about choice and competition for San Francisco residents. It's about new, better technology that enhances peoples' lives. AT&T thanks the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for supporting the deployment of U-verse (the company's name for the digital technology) throughout San Francisco. We've already started construction and are working as quickly as possible to bring next generation IP network services to every block and household that wants it."
All atwitter: A new bird settling into the San Francisco Zoo has a streak of red hair and some pretty flexible feet.
A 5-year-old male Lady Ross' turaco arrived at the zoo's African Aviary about two months ago from the Los Angeles Zoo. A native to the central and southern regions of Africa, the bird - who does not have a name - has a long tail, broad wings and an appetite for plants, fruits and insects. He also has an outer toe that he can rotate forward or backward, depending on his need for support.
Lady Ross' turacos are commonly referred to as "go away" birds because their call sounds like "g' way," according to the zoo. Sounds like a feathered fellow who isn't afraid to speak his mind.

This project aims to convert the massive amount of data of Denisovan Genome to a raw data download file if FTDNA (or) 23andMe did the test. So, basically, I am just extracting the SNPs from Denisovan Genome and constructing the autosomal raw data file. This project is aimed to be more like factoids provided by FTDNA, just doing it from a hobbyist research perspective (and may produce scientific results). So, if you have a long strand/segment match which suggests that you are a cousin to Denisovan, don't blame me ;). The source files are taken from Denisovan DNA in VCF format. I used 2 laptops running 24/7 for nearly 2 weeks to parse ~ 1 terrabyte of Denisovan genome to produce the below results.
- GEDMatch# F999903 (FTDNA SNPs)
- Download from Google Drive.
The download pages in Max-Planck-Gesellschaft mentions: When using this genome data please cite the following publication:

• By John F. Chisholm •
My younger sister, Helen, sent me a black and white photograph of our mother last week.
It's one I've never seen before.
That much is easily explained. Mother died in 2005. Her correspondence was voluminous. My sisters have been going through it slowly. The photograph mentioned was enclosed in a letter sent her by a childhood friend. That letter is dated 1944. There's no date on the photo, itself.
Judging by the scene, however, my sense is that the photo has to come from very close to that time.
My mother would have been 17 in 1944.
She's facing the camera in a snow-covered urban scene, a pair of skates clutched under her left arm. She's slim and very attractive in a knee-length woolen dress. She's wearing lovely hand-knit mittens and trim leather boots with a scarf knotted under her chin.
In fact, she's very pretty indeed, smiling broadly for the photographer with all the confidence of youth beaming from her features.
How very odd to catch a glimpse of your mother younger than you are now by 45 years and looking so very fetching ― besides being ten years younger than at any time you could possibly have known her. Ever.
Don't misunderstand. To me, my mother will always be beautiful, but life played some scurvy tricks on her ― as it does with all of us. She contracted polio in 1957 ― I was 3 ― requiring crutches for virtually all the time that I knew her, only to exchange them for a wheelchair near the end.
Her husband left her when she contracted that disease, leaving her to raise four children unassisted.
She did that job with unfailing determination, iron will and unquestioned love.
To see her standing unassisted, smiling broadly with skates under her arm is a drastic reframe of a very well-known character for me.
The image brings a realization into sharp focus ― normally one we only have in some very abstract sense ― that is, at one time, our parents were young, too. Yes. Yes, they were. Of course they had to have lives of their own, before having us as well.
It's a great comfort to know that some of hers was happy.

How can I overclock my x58c laptop?
I have 2.5 gigs of RAM
160 GB HDD 5200 rpm
1.2Ghz Intel Celeron processor (oC from BIOS to 1.5GHZ)
Overclocking a laptop (or any OEM computer for that matter) is a thoroughly bad idea.
Laptops lack virtually everything that is needed for safe and effective overclocking. Among other things overclocking produces more heat which laptops are poorly equipped to handle. Many laptops run hot even at stock speeds. While it may be possible to overclock a laptop the results are rarely satisfactory and the risks are high.
Overclocking is best done on a home-built desktop where you can control the quality and specifications of components used.
Agreed. If it's speed is unacceptable, consider a new one that will fill your needs now and in the future. If you do not need the portability, consider a desktop model since you can get more computer for the money you spend. Consider using the laptop you have for the times you need it portable and get the desktop for more serious computing or gaming when you are home.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
