Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston is an effort in Houston to understand and collaborate with the different faiths that are represented within Houston. It specifically works with 10 faiths – Bahá'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist and Zoroastrian. Towards this, they hold "Dinner Dialogues", which have a certain structure created to promote discussion as well as understanding of the faith of the family hosting the dinner.
In about 19 Hindu homes from the NASA area to The Woodlands and Sugar Land to the Inner Loop, hosts and guests have also participated in similar, structured Dinner Dialogues. In all about 210 guests have so far attended these dialogues. Each location had its own, often regional Indian, dinner and host and/or hostess, each providing basic information on Hindu Dharma, but giving also a personal perspective as to how they individually and as a community member practice their tradition. In The Woodlands, Mrs. Beth Kulkarni, a Hindu by choice rather than by birth, shared dinner and conversation with ten guests from unique backgrounds who could all find something in common with the Hindu traditions as described and practiced by Beth.
This year, it has taken up the faiths from India as the focus. Three faiths – Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism are being explored. Yesterday, was the Dinner Dialog on Hinduism at Vijay Pallod's house. Vijay is a local Hindu leader who has a history of numerous charity undertakings within the Houston Hindu community.
At the Pallod home, after the initial tête-à-tête over some nuts, the participants struck various conversations to get acquainted. This was followed by sumptuous and traditional Indian dinner cooked by Sushma Pallod, the host. As everyone savored the curries and the spices in their plates, they started off introducing themselves. There was a Jewish couple, a Sikh Lady, a Christian lady, a Ahmediya-Muslim couple from Pakistan, and three Hindu guests (including yours truly).
Hindus over the years – since Swami Vivekananda came to US in 1893 to attend the World Parliament of Religions and gathered a substantial fan-following – have contributed a lot to the United States and its ethos. Some of the contributions include Yoga, the promotion of Vegetarianism, the concept of equitable justice inherent in the nature termed as Karma, and the overwhelming benefits of Meditation.
Today substantial number of Hindus in the US are non-Indians. For example, the first Hindu-American Congressperson this year will be Tulsi Gabbard – a non-Indian Hindu from Hawaii.
A few things that were shared and which form the basis of the Hindu faith are:
One God amongst Many: It is no secret that Hindus do worship many Gods. To the outsider that may sound strange and also contradictory when a Hindu insists that there is after all just one God. There are two ways to look at this:
(1) One Truth, Many facets – A person may be one but have many roles to play. You can engage with him as a parent, co-worker, friend, lover, or competition. But essentially he is one.
(2) Finite as a representation of the Infinite – Something that is Infinite cannot be "identified". For, the moment it is identified, it is also finite at once. Because now you know what it is and what it is not. You have defined its boundaries. So, to engage with the infinite, Hindus came up with an interesting way – which parallels how mathematicians deal with Infinite by representing the infinite points on a Normal Distribution curve. They find the discrete points that represent the overall equation and use them to work with the infinite curve. The discrete points are not the curve, they know. These points merely represent the equation of the curve at a certain contextual point. But every discrete point does manifest the curve's equation completely.
Similarly, a Hindu doesn't believe that there are hundreds, indeed millions (33 millions to be exact) of Gods. He knows that they are merely manifestations of the Divine. The Divine is one but it can be engaged in many ways.
Vegetarianism and the Holy Cow: Vegetarianism is an important practice that the Hindus have adhered to for a long time at different times. It is not mandatory that if you are a Hindu, you have to be vegetarian, but a Hindu's main goal inherently, is Liberation and Freedom from the limited existence of this Creation and physicality of body and mind. One of the most important tool towards that goal is meditative practices and yoga. There are three different types of "Energy" Foods – Positive, Negative and Neutral. These foods impact the life energy of people in different ways. The impact may not be necessarily in terms of Health, or for longevity – although that is a major impact. If one was to live long but a diseased and limited life, then those years aren't worth the effort. So, positive "Pranic foods" help one live to his/her full potential as a human being. The health professionals are now finding out that such foods – for example, meats of different kinds – are impacting health also in a very negative way.
Cow being sacred goes back to the way it was useful to the Ancient Indians. In the cow, they not just saw a complete life saver but also a household member. Even if there was a drought and the food wasn't easily available – except grass on the meadows. If there was a cow at home, survival of the family was assured. The cow, with its almost human-like emotions – remained attached to the family as another member. One does have reverence to everything that one loves and holds in high esteem. Cow had a special place in the lives of most Indians for thousands of years. That love and respect made Hindus look up to it as something sacred to one's life. Something that would give life when nature failed them.
Karma – the law of Creation: Karma is not a vindictive law. It is not that someone "up there" will start punishing you for the crimes you are doing, or start rewarding you for the good that you may be doing as per some text or announcement. Karma means action per se. It basically means that whatever you do, has a consequence. To manifest that consequence or not is in your hands. Whether you try to do "Good, or Bad", the consequence will mean living in a constant circle of Action and Result. The aim of Hinduism is not to live doing "Good deeds", but to transcend the Good, Neutral and the Ugly and to be liberated of this circle of life. As long as one is stuck in the circle of action and consequences, one cannot truly be liberated. Karma is a reality, but Nirvana is the breaking free of Karma. One who has broken free of the impact of Karma is known as Jeevan-mukta (Living Free). In Hinduism, there is a whole path to use one's Karma and set oneself free. It is called Karma Yoga. And this yoga has nothing to do with the impossible postures that Yoga has come to be associated with. And, that brings us to the next thing, Yoga.
Yoga and Meditation: Although Asanas – the twisted postures – do form a substantial part of Yoga – it is not Yoga as a whole. Yoga means "Union". And it is the union of one with the Whole – or the Divine. How that union is achieved is unique to every Yogi and the different ways to get there form the subject of Yoga. There are four major ways in Yoga – Jnana Yoga (Yoga of Intellect), Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion and Love), Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action) and Kriya or Raj Yoga (Yoga of Life Energy or Prana). On these four major "topologies", if you will, have sprouted many paths in Hinduism. And these paths have spawned many schools of Spirituality, which used experimentation and learning to fine tune ways to get to one's Ultimate nature.
Meditation or rather Meditativeness is a quality of a Yogi. One can be meditative even when walking or running, if one knows how to tap the inner core of one's self. However, meditation today is associated with suggestive peaceful sounds taking a person through a restful experience. Or techniques to reflect within.
As techniques they are fine, but the real goal of these endeavors is to reach a point where one is meditative at every moment of one's day and life.
Acceptance and Tolerance: Although widely used, I personally do not like the word "Tolerance". For it signifies a pretense. As if saying "I don't like you and would ideally want to hit you but I am going to stop myself and somehow tolerate you."
Acceptance is a better way to approach harmony. Acceptance happens when there is lack of conflict. When you know that your "discrete point on the curve" is your understanding of the infinite and someone else's is his understanding given his/her position and situation. There is no conflict.
Conflict, however, is a natural result of Structure. For Structure, promotes hierarchy. Hierarchy necessitates someone to be above someone else. Within the structure, hierarchy hurts harmony and with outsiders, the "membership" of the group/structure is used to promote distinctions. "If he isn't in my group, he is wrong" – the My-way-or-the-highway paradigm. For conflict ridden structural groups, the ONLY tool for harmony, then is "Tolerance". It is a pretense of harmony, for one inherently does not truly appreciate the differences, but in the wider social interests, a harmony is forced.
Hinduism did not have any structure. No one created it, no one sustained it single-handedly or as a group. In fact. widely divergent views were accepted, promoted and celebrated. It was clearly and unequivocally understood that nothing in creation is similar. Everything is unique. Even two leaves on a branch are different. And, that there is beauty in this difference and unique creation. If everyone was like me, it would be a truly boring and melancholic world. We rejoice the Unique nature fully understanding that, that primordial energy and consciousness that is indeed One, has manifested in various unique ways.
Largest Open Source Experiment: This is my way of understanding the true uniqueness of Hinduism. It wasn't discussed in the "Dinner Dialog". However, in today's world, this concept connects. There are multiple, indeed hundreds, of scriptures in Hinduism. There are clues on who have written some of them, but there is no concrete authorship for all of them. Yet, these scriptures and writings are very profound. From Mark Twain to Robert Oppenheimer, their profundity has baffled and inspired the greatest of minds. Yet, it is strange that someone could contribute and articulate such profound concepts and then leave them to be shared, without his/her name branded on them? Isn't it amazing and generous on their part? And, we aren't talking of one or two books, but hundreds! This selfless contribution to Spiritual work in the world is a truly Hindu concept.
Conflict comes from branding, when the ego of the one who produces something is attached to the product. When the producer takes away the baggage of his/her own name from his product, and leaves the product to be accepted or rejected in the open market – or be modified as deemed fit by any generation, then there is no conflict. The philosophical work in Hinduism has followed this method.
In a world where just two different interpretations of just One book can create terrible internecine conflicts, here is a faith where thousands of books and millions of interpretations have only contributed to an internal harmony and variety of expression.
The Dinner Dialogue ended on a note of expressing and exploring commonalities and differences with what was discussed in the evening and ended on a harmonious note of mutual respect.

Poison ivy cream is available with many different ingredients and in many different strengths, depending on whether the cream is an over the counter one or a prescription cream.
Many creams for poison ivy contain cortisone, which will help reduce swelling and itching while speeding up the healing process of your skin. Zanfel cream is an effective treatment if used as soon as possible after exposure, before the oil soaks into your skin or the rash develops. Some creams are intended to be a barrier to the oil which causes the skin reaction, and this can help you keep poison ivy symptoms minimized if you do come into contact with the oil. These creams are spread over any exposed skin before you go out in any place where poison ivy may be lurking, and they will prevent a skin reaction from contact with the plant.
Poison ivy cream may be prescribed by your doctor if the symptoms and rash are severe. In the worst cases a steroid cream may be prescribed, to hurry up the cell die off and replacement, so the rash is eliminated and healthy skin takes over for the damaged skin. In rare cases, the poison ivy reaction may become so severe or extensive that hospitalization may be required, because of the medical condition and risk of further complications. No matter which creams your doctor prescribes, remember to use them only as directed, because many prescription creams are very strong and that is why only a doctor can prescribe them. Using these creams more often, or in larger amounts, may cause problems worse than the poison ivy.
Poison ivy cream is available over the counter, many times in a weaker form of prescription creams. Hydrocortisone cream is one example of a cream that can be bought at the store or prescribed in a stronger strength. This ingredient will stop itching while helping your skin heal effectively. Benedryl cream can also be effective for the itching while soothing the skin and stopping any swelling. If you have a rash from poison ivy and need relief, it is simply a matter of finding out which creams are the most effective in your situation.

"It's always best to leave a day job just after you've signed a lease on an expensive apartment and when your bank account has like $100 left in it. That's the best time because that's betting on yourself. Show fate that you have confidence in yourself. So yes, my advice would be get like a great loft that's very expensive, sign a one-year lease, and then when you have $100 left in your bank account, tell your boss to F'off at noon in the middle of the day, and then that night try to get your internet mattress company started." --Conan O'Brien

You are an Analyst
- Your attention to detail, confidence, sense of order, and focus on functionality combine to make you an ANALYST.
- You are very curious about how things work, delving into the mechanics behind things.
- Along those lines, how well something works is usually more important to you than what it looks like.
- You find beauty and wonder mainly in concrete, functional, earthly things.
- You are very aware of your own abilities, and you believe that you will find the best way of doing things.
- Accordingly, problems do not intimidate you, as you believe in yourself.
- You trust yourself to find solutions within the boundaries of your knowledge.
- You don't spend a lot of time imagining how things could be different—you're well-grounded in the here-and-now.
- It is important for you to follow a routine, and you prefer the familiar to the unknown
- You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
- Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.
If you want to be different:
Try to embrace the imaginative, creative part of your personality more often.
Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.
how you relate to others
You are Considerate
If you want to be different:
- You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.
- You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.
- You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.
- Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.
- Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.
- Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.
- You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.
- Your close friends know you as a good listener.
Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!

The Art of Growing Marijuana Outdoors
Almost 100% or approximately 94% of the smokers will tell you that the sweetest high they have ever enjoyed came from cannabis plant grown outdoors. But I bet you that they will not tell you that they are that simple to grow. Here are some tips that could probably help you make the task a little easier.
The natural supply of sunlight and a very conducive environment for the cannabis plant will enable you harvest the natural sweet tasting high of the bud.
The hassles of providing good lighting and the expenses that go with them are some of the advantages of having the plant grown outside aside from getting a good smoke.
Over the years, beginners have been confused with the sea of information they get to know and in most cases they are contradicting. Let me share some tips you could use and these may also save you a lot of money in the growing process.
Factors to Consider
The prime consideration should be the security. You should choose a site where your plant will be less likely be noticed by government authorities and other passersby. As we know that getting caught growing them is illegal and might penalize you.
If you opt to grow in your own backyard, try to conceal them with other growing plants, like other green vegetative plants, recommended are plants that grow relatively taller than the cannabis. Make them appear that they are just one of these other plants.
Growing Marijuana Outdoors
Outdoor growing may expose your plants to pests and other animals. Consider also protecting them from these. Place a short wire fence around your garden. If bees are threat to your crop, place sweet sugary syrup near the area.
Ensure that the plants get enough supply of sunlight. Aside from getting the supply for free, it is most beneficial for your plants. You need to consider the position of the plants as well. Morning sunshine is preferred more than the afternoon sunshine. The ideal time for your plants to be soaked to sunlight would be between 9am and 2pm.
Another factor to consider is the water supply. Try to have a site nearer a water source to eliminate the trouble of getting to and from the water source to the grow area. If you intend to plant in a forest area, try to choose a site nearer to the rivers. It is also highly recommended that you water the plants in the morning. The risk of your plants growing molds and eventually be destroyed is high if they are watered at nighttime.
What you have just read are the very basic tips when growing the cannabis plant outside but if followed seriously will result to an excellent high yielding and superb tasting buds.
The more detailed discussions on these and more complex tips like on seed selection, fertilizers and the like are available on other guide books available. These will help you start up.

Pixar Genius
The Pixar Touch: The Making of a Company
To Infinity and Beyond! The Story of Pixar Animation Studios
The Art of Pixar Short Films
There are underdogs and then there are underdogs. It is eight hundred years in the future. Earth is a toxic, dusty junkyard, awash in Himalayas of refuse, and the only one left to do the job of cleaning it all up is a waist-high, trash-compacting robot who goes by the name of WALL·E (for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter—Earth Class"). The humans who made such a mess out of their planet have long since absconded to starships where they have spent the intervening centuries being waited on hand and foot by other robots. The combination of low gravity and nonstop pampering has transformed the passengers on this "luxury cruise" into bloated parodies of themselves, baby-like fatties who are so lazy that they've lost any sense of what being human is all about. In his solitude, ironically, WALL·E has been evolving in the opposite direction. Over the years he has become sentient.
It's a funny thing about sentience, though. One side effect of self-awareness is that you become aware of the absence of others, and even as he keeps making the rounds this workhorse robot longs for a sense of connection. Since there aren't any other intelligent beings around, WALL·E, like so many present-day humans, seeks solace in the movies. He's become an impassioned collector of odd human artifacts, and one of his most treasured finds turns out to be, of all things, a battered videocassette of the twentieth-century musical Hello, Dolly!
This immersion in 1960s camp primes him for his encounter with EVE, aka "Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator," a robot probe that has been automatically dispatched to Earth to check for signs that life has returned. WALL·E and EVE are the perfect Hollywood couple. She's a smooth white egg with mysterious powers and weightless grace; he's a clodhopper, a Chaplinesque klutz whose good-natured persistence and purity of intention somehow enable him to triumph. At first EVE is all business; their meet-cute, which is punctuated by a mushroom cloud, will be a hard one for future screenwriters to beat. But WALL·E's wooing—and the courage with which he follows her back to the mother ship to help her fulfill her mission—end up persuading her that intelligence isn't just about following your prime directive. It turns out that it's hard to be a thinking being without also picking up emotion, awareness, the sense of possibility—and the desire for companionship.
This notion of nonhuman beings blessed, or cursed, with a human spark has a long history, of course. It runs from the great creation myths through fairy tales (and their Disneyfied variants like Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid) and all the way up to characters like Mr. Spock and Commander Data of the Star Trek franchise. It's a lineage that's also rich in darker variations, from Frankenstein…

I think it is official now that I'm avoiding the Majellan Urban Tribe at the moment. I caused a scene at the last session I was at, which was over a month ago. Too hot, too tired, too frustrated. I wanted out in air where I could breathe. In the weeks that have followed I have found it easier to find other things to do, finding other peoples, reclaiming the time. The changed man is looking for me, perhaps in time I will answer him . . . but not now.
Today I went to the library. It took me nearly two months to finish the books I got out last time. Robin Fleming's history of Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire to the Norman Conquest was my favorite, and the last that I finished. She combined archeaelogical research with historical records with some interesting observations. It was fascinating to read how production centres in Britain collapsed as Roman civilisation retreated. There was a period of 200 years when nails weren't made in the West European Isles. As we enter a post-petroleum age what industries are going to collapse? What will be out of our grasp?
In comparison the history of Al-Andalus was disappointing because it was a document based history and acknowledged that there are gaps in the record.
I have got overly ambitious now and found five books to get out:
I'm reading a history of Christianity in Malaysia so I want to read more about the country's history. It turns out that it's a small collection in my local library, no general histories and mostly to do with the Emergency. The book by Bernard Lewis looked interesting. Philip Reeve is a young adult writer whose works I greatly admire. Grimwood's book is the next of his that I could find in the library and I will puzzle my way through it after his Arabesk trilogy: Pashazade, Effendi and Felaheen; and Lindqvist jumped out at me and I felt I should read it to find out what not one but vampire movies (Swedish and American) are on about.
At the harbour mouth the Lookout Head Light House; down the harbour, on the south shore the fortified island; then the port town Roundhouse Bay; beyond it Sea Bird Egg Island where the quarantined land; the harbour narrows under the Harbour Bridge joining the city of Lamborough to the dachas on the south shore of the wide bay beyond; after the bridge the ferries dock at the Dogs Ferry Station which opens into the city. The train goes under the Hythe Hills to join the city to the port.

Sweet Cherry Picking
SWEET CHERRY PICKING BEGINS SATURDAY, MAY 25 (Call ahead, cool weather might push it back to Thursday, May 30)
54 varieties, three generations, and 111 years. Levering Orchard is an amazing cherry-picking experience! In each of the past three years, a freeze shortened our cherry crop. Luckily, this year the crop is MUCH better, and – if we've missed you the past three years – we hope to see you BACK AGAIN this year!! Remember, conditions change day to day on a cherry orchard, so it's always a good idea to call ahead before you come.

So phoning or e-mailing ahead before you come is STRONGLY ADVISED!

What do you think about this product?
November 22, 2015
False bad first impression
I tried the harness on with softshell pants, climbing shirt and softshell vest. Typical for the stuff i do. And immediately i felt uncomfortable. There was tension down the front with a pressure spot right above the groin. I could not imagine standing still in the rig, let alone making my way through rugged terrain. However, knowing Grivel, it was more likely that i was doing something wrong than it being a design flaw. I My Petzls' and BDs' are your basic "static" adjustable leg loops, but the Ares has this unique "dynamic" adjustable leg loops due to the 'lasso' and waist attachment. I cinched up the rear leg loop straps to tuck just under my butt and tightened the Lg loops with slack to allow the lasso to tighten accordingly. Now, the harness is so comfortable that you literally do not feel it all. Hanging in it is your typical web core tech sensation with pressure spots over a fairly wide spot at the lower back and back of thighs. Not as comfortable as your typical padded harnesses. The double waist buckles means no more re-centering of the harness. A definite keeper.

Aloe vera is a bona fide superfood with a laundry list of health promoting benefits. It's not the most pleasant tasting substance on its own, but blend it into a smoothie with the right ingredients and you're left with a tasty, nutrient-dense, super drink.
Aloe vera has a long history of use dating all the way back to 1500 B.C. where the Egyptians recorded using it to treat burns, infections and parasites. Topical uses for aloe vera are more commonly known, but since we're going to consume it in our smoothies let's focus on the health benefits from internal use.
Aloe vera gel is made up of water, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, and 200 active plant compounds or phytonutrients. Quite impressive, as are the myriad health benefits attributed to aloe vera.
Health benefits of aloe vera gel:
- Boosts immune function
- Powerful anti-inflammatory
- Great for skin health
- Accelerates recovery after exercise
- Potent antioxidant
- Reduces high blood pressure
- Alleviates joint and muscle pain
- Boosts physical endurance
- Stabilizes blood sugar in diabetics
- Helps lower high cholesterol
- Excellent for digestion, and been shown to alleviate and even cure acid reflux, ulcers, IBS, Crohn's and Celiac disease
- Eliminates constipation
- Anti-cancerous
Do you find aloe to be bitter and not very pleasing to your palate? Here's a few tips and tricks to evade that bitterness courtesy of Joan who was kind enough to leave this comment below: "I grow my own aloe vera, and have been putting it in smoothies for years. Here's a few tricks I've learned for getting rid of the bitter taste. After I cut a stem/leaf off the plant, I stand it up in a glass and let the yellow sap drain…that's the bitter part. Also, chill it before you put it in the smoothie. You can either just leave it in the fridge overnight and filet it before adding it to the smoothie, or you can filet it first and freeze the gel part (lay them out on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Sometimes I'll harvest a whole bunch at once, drain them, filet out the gel centers and freeze them. Then, when I get ready to make a smoothie, I'll just grab a few out of the freezer and pop them in the blender with the rest of the ingredients!"
The amount of gel you get from filleting fresh aloe leaves will vary. I typically shoot for about 1/2 cup. Feel free to use more or less depending on your preferences. Enjoy!
Awesome Aloe Vera Smoothie Recipe
The Ingredients
- 1 cup almond or coconut milk
- 1 medium aloe vera leaf, filleted (approximately 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

- 1 handful of fresh basil
- A little honey, maple syrup, or stevia to sweeten (optional)
The Add-ons
- 1 tablespoon coconut flakes or shreds
- 1 tablespoon flax or chia seeds
- 1 serving protein powder of your choice
Show Time
Place all of the ingredients into your blender and blend on high until nice and smooth.

Here we are again, halfway through the week! Congrats on making it this far. 🙂 The weather finally changed over the weekend and we now feel like fall in the south east. The days still may reach 80+ degrees, but the evenings are amazing! When the weather chills out, my kitchen warms up. All week scents of cinnamon and pumpkin spice have been wafting through my home. What about you?
Since I'm on a roll with fall recipes, I thought I would share a perfect treat to accompany your 'cup of joe' in the mornings. Check out this Apple Coffee Cake! I can't take all the credit for this one. I was walking through the bakery aisle at Earth Fare and I saw a "gluten" version of this cake and thought, I bet I could make this. Once my groceries were unpacked, I hit up Google and found this wonderful recipe. It is super easy and is grain free, dairy free and gluten free. Unfortunately, it includes coconut sugar, which according to my internet research, is not Paleo. Sorry Paleo friends!
I hope this Gluten Free Dairy Free Apple Walnut Coffee Cake brings you many happy mornings this fall! Let me know how you like it and if you have any tips or additional ingredients you think would make it better.
Apple Coffee Cake
Looking for a coffee cake to serve with breakfast on a chilly, fall day? This grain, dairy and gluten free cake is a mixture of seasonal flavors including walnuts, cinnamon, coconut sugar and maple syrup. We enjoy ours with a warm cup of French Press coffee!

"We all want to know and be known. That's why doing good is so powerful when the focus is first and foremost the people and not the project."
― Chris Marlow
Most of us, spend the majority of their day in front of the screens. Whether it is for work or personal, we are occupied by the world of internet. The invention that has brought us closer by bridging the physical distance is now bringing a void in our connections. A deep psychological void is filling our mind, and we are losing the connectivity. Many studies have been done to understand whether we are becoming more global citizens or becoming more isolated. I would say, both statements are right. There is no light without a shadow.
The challenge we are facing is to maintain a real human connection in the world of illusion. How can we keep the warmth in our relationships alive? It is simple – Be mindful. Be curious. When I meet my people, I keep my curiosity conscious. I am genuinely interested to know about their life experiences, values, dreams, fears and the things that we hide behind the day-to-day cold interactions. Bringing a touch of human emotions back to our daily interactions is a mindful process. You will need to invest your attention in others. To be curious, you will need to accept people as they are. You need to drop the judgment and pessimism that we have started wearing as glasses.
"We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us–that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect."
― Emilio Estevez
Curiosity leads to a conversation, and a conversation leads to a connectivity

国产偷拍99_亚洲成在人线视频_7 tav国产自拍视频在线久久综合在线观看-首页The goal of the Student Life office is to ensure that every single student has an amazing University experience. Attending college is a unique period in your life when you grow in so many ways, have so many adventures, and create memories that last a lifetime. It is when you develop ideas and beliefs and gain a deeper sense of self.
Webber International University is a tightly knit University with a big heart and a revered tradition in business education. It is easy to get to know everyone, and within a short period of time the staff, faculty, and other students will know you by name. You are certainly not just a number at Webber. You are valued as a person, as a student, and as a unique citizen of the world. Many a career has been launched because of the lasting personal connections that have formed during our graduates' University years.
We in Student Life want to ensure that you live the experience!
We provide a wide variety of events, both on and off campus, to enhance your University experience.
Our end of the year "Beach Party" is always a huge success. There is music, food, drinks, and fireworks. Boats line the lakeshore as students pack the beach and pool area and compete in volleyball tournaments. Students are always eager to get their deeply discounted tickets to all the local Florida attractions, like Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, and local professional sporting events.
There are no classes at Webber on Wednesdays, so there are really TWO "Friday" nights each week. Many student activities are held on Tuesday nights. Events we have consist of big parties on campus with a DJ playing popular music, a campus wide "color run" that has become a fan favorite, and monthly bowling nights at no cost to students, to name a few.

Constitution Day
On May 25, 2005, the U.S. Department of Education released a Notice of Implementation announcing that all educational institutions receiving federal funding must provide an educational program pertaining to the United States Constitution on September 17th of each year, commemorating the September 17, 1787 signing of the Constitution.
Senator Robert C. Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat and the United States Congress unofficial constitutional scholar, believes that American primary, secondary, and post-secondary students lack significant knowledge regarding the United States Constitution. In December 2004, Senator Byrd offered an amendment that was passed by both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate in an attempt to increase Constitutional knowledge.

House Lotto or Notto
This entry was posted on Thursday, October 16th, 2008
People who bought raffle tickets to win a house in Devon have been told the prize draw, due to have taken place today, has been postponed.
Brian and Wendy Wilshaw sold 46,000 tickets costing £25 each for the chance to win the £1m Oldborough Mansion estate near Crediton, but a message posted on their website informed entrants the draw had been halted by the Gambling Commission. The commission said it could not comment on individual cases. A spokesman for the Wilshaws said they were "distraught" at having to postpone the draw. He said they were in discussions with the Gambling Commission to resolve the issue "as soon as possible". And went on to say: "I can say with absolute certainty that if the Gambling Commission decides that the draw can't go ahead then everyone will get their money back."
A competition entrant from London, who asked not to be named, said: "I woke up this morning expecting one of two things to happen, to either win a house or be happy someone else had won a house. I was not expecting be told it was postponed." She said she had been checking the competition website every day and was annoyed that the Wilshaws had waited until Wednesday night to announce the postponement.
The 11-acre Oldborough Mansion estate at Morchard Bishop includes a house, fishing lake and holiday cottages. It was valued at £1m before the competition started.
The Gambling Commission recently warned homeowners who were considering selling houses in this way that they could fall foul of the 2005 Gambling Act. Tom Kavanagh, deputy chief-executive, said: "Lotteries are the preserve of good causes and cannot be operated for private gain."
"Prize competitions are free of statutory control under the Gambling Act and can be run for profit. But homeowners considering such schemes as an alternative to selling their house risk committing a criminal offence if they cross the boundary and stray into offering an illegal lottery."
The Wilshaws claim they contacted the Gambling Commission twice before launching their lottery to make sure it would not breach any rules. The couple originally said they decided to raffle the estate to beat the slowdown in the housing market.

Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic provides high quality orthopaedic care for many injured workers. The Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic Workers' Compensation Care and Industrial Rehabilitation programs are designed to ensure that our patients get the orthopaedic services they need to return to work in a safe and expedient manner while providing high quality care.
We understand that accessibility and communication are critical to the successful treatment and rehabilitation of the injured worker. Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic has designated workers' compensation staff members to assist with the necessary communication, and to serve as a liaison between our physicians and the insurance companies, case managers, employers, and the patients. Our team of workers' compensation professionals will make authorized appointments, work to obtain timely authorization for diagnostic tests and surgeries, and are willing to take your calls to make the referral process as smooth as possible.
In order to better help us serve you, please review the following information regarding the workers' compensation referral process:
Workers' Compensation Appointments
To request a workers' compensation appointment with one of Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic doctors, we ask that the employer or insurance carrier to complete the workers' compensation information sheet. Please email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or fax (919-863-6809) the completed form to our Workers' Compensation Appointment Specialist.

For questions or concerns regarding workers' compensation appointments, please contact our Workers' Compensation Appointment Specialist at: (919) 863-6863.
Independent Medical Exams (IME) and 2nd Opinions
Occasionally an Independent Medical Exam or Second Opinion is necessary to provide the appropriate treatment to the injured worker. A "special exam" is required, if the patient's date of injury exceeds two months and they have been treated by another specialist (orthopaedist, neurologist, neurosurgeon, physiatrist, podiatrist, etc.). The injured worker's medical records will be reviewed prior to scheduling an appointment.
To expedite this process, please complete the workers' compensation information sheet, and email the workers' compensation coordinators listed below or fax (919-863-6809) the completed form to the Workers' Compensation Coordinator. In addition, please forward all relevant medical records for the physician to review. You may mail the medical records to the attention to the Workers' Compensation Coordinator at the following address:
Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic
3001 Edwards Mill Road, Suite 200
Raleigh, NC 27612
If the medical records are less than 30 pages, you may fax them to: 919-863-6809. If the physician agrees to see the patient, the requesting party will receive a pre-pay statement that indicates which physician has agreed to perform the exam, and the fee for that service. Once the payment is received in our office, our Workers' Compensation Coordinator will contact you to arrange an appointment at a convenient time. If the physician denies the exam, the requesting party will be notified.
For questions or concerns regarding IME's or 2nd opinions, please contact our Workers' Compensation Coordinator at (919) 863-6984.
Authorization Status
The key to a timely plan of care is persistence. Our team will actively attempt to obtain authorization for any procedure, diagnostic test or surgery the Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic provider recommended. As the injured worker, you can assist us in this process by contacting the adjuster, case manager and/or attorney within one week of your appointment. Please let them know that your doctor has ordered further treatment, and they will need to email our Workers' Compensation Coordinator (email@example.com) for more information or to give authorization to proceed with scheduling.

By Fr. Erik Esparza
There is no denying the immense popularity of Ash Wednesday.
What is it about the first day of Lent every year that brings out the faithful, the struggling, the lapsed, and the searching?
It has to be more than simply going to get ashes on the forehead, right? But what is the attraction?
There may be no quick or easy answer to understand the popularity of Ash Wednesday. In many ways, as a Church, our focus should not be so much on trying to make sense of this phenomenon; rather the focus should be on seizing the moment: Seizing the moment to welcome, to embrace, to evangelize and to journey with all who return home, as they desire to begin a Lenten journey.
This year, the Lenten Season begins with the celebration of Ash Wednesday on February 14, which also happens to be St. Valentine's Day. What can be more romantic than to treat your special valentine to a nice quiet evening of reflection (prayer), a banquet like no other (the Mass), and a special gift (ashes)! The unexpected gift of this year's Ash Wednesday falling on February 14 provides us a unique opportunity to reflect on the meaning of true love, in particular, the love of God. It can easily be said that this year we have been chosen as Jesus' valentine! Jesus shows time and again just how important, special, unique and beloved each of us is to Him. He endured pain, suffering and death so as to lead us through it all and to offer eternal life through His Resurrection. The world has never seen any greater sign of love. The salvation story is truly a story of love, Jesus' love for us. But what is our response to such great love?
In Lent of 2017, Pope Francis said, "Our salvation is certainly his fight, but, because it's a story of love, it requires our 'yes' and our participation as shown to us by our Mother Mary and, after her, all of the Saints."
There is no doubt for all the countless reasons people may seek out ashes on Ash Wednesday, it can really be all summed up in the great saying of St. Augustine, "Our soul is restless until it rests in you, O Lord."
Humanity is constantly searching and seeking an answer for our restlessness. As often as we try to find it in the pleasures of the world, we are ultimately left restless. Each Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday, humanity is provided once more a time, a place and a means to seek God no matter where we traveled the year before and no matter how many defeats we endured. As humans we encounter God and the world through the senses. The liturgy service and the receiving of the ashes enable us to hear the invitation to accept God's love and to embrace God's call to conversion. It is in that process of conversion that we can encounter the presence of God and allow our soul to be at rest.
Lent is a time and season to slow down and reflect on one's personal relationship with God. Like Jesus we are led into the desert. Although we may not literally be in a desert, the invitation to prayer, fasting and almsgiving gives, like a desert, the opportunity, time, space, and focus to escape the noise and distractions to be more attentive to our personal walk with God and the restlessness inside each of us.
It is so easy in the world today to settle. Often times in our relationship with God we settle for the minimum and shy away from sacrifice. When we do desire to be and to give more, we may seek it on our own terms and with our conditions. Sometimes we prefer popularity to virtuous living. Rather than seeking the absolute truth of God we prefer picking and choosing what suits us right here and right now. Instead of seeking God's will, we favor our own will to be done. We choose pride over humility and give only a part of our heart when God asks for it all. When we live in this way, we are often left restless!
Lent is a season of conversion and growth. It is a time to change attitudes and behaviors that lead away from God to a way of life that helps us to grow closer to God. When you consider giving up or adding something to your life this Lent, ask yourself one question, "Will this help my soul to grow closer to God?" If the answer is no, it's not too late to consider something else that will better help you to return to God with your whole heart!
Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel!
Fr. Erik Esparza is Associate Director of the Office of Priest Personnel in the Diocese of San Bernardino.

Me and my husband weren't actively trying. Well, we had kind of left it to the Almighty to bless us with a baby when He thought it would be the right time. Because lets be real, when is it EVER the right time? When do you finally think you are ready? I know many people will be shouting out various different reasons like "When I have X amount in my bank" or "when I have reached X amount of years, so that I am mature/experienced/lived my life" yaadi-yaadi-ya. To be honest, I was one of those people too. Before marriage, I too thought that it would be wise to wait a year so that me and my husband can spend quality time together, whilst making sure our finances were up to the challenge.
However, Islam made me see sense. A baby is a blessing from God alone, and it is He who decides when a couple are ready for the blessing. However much you may plan, He is the best planner of all. I also realised that I can never truly ever be ready for a baby. I will only learn about it first hand. No matter how many books or websites I read, nothing is going to prepare me for a baby than a baby itself. And so we left it to Almighty to bless us with a baby whenever He chose to do so. And boy, was it quick!!
One fine morning, only a couple of months into being married, I was sick after having breakfast. It was a different breakfast to what I normally have, so I thought that's probably what had upset my tummy. After I cleaned myself up, I started to get ready for work, and told my sleepy husband of what had happened. He of course instantly started joking around that I was pregnant. I dismissed his silly jokes and went to work. However, the entire day I could not get it out of my head, and when I reached home, I told my husband "Lets buy a pregnancy test just to be sure."
It took three BFPs for it to sink in. We first bought two cheap pregnancy tests, that were like thin sticks, reminding me of litmus paper from school. These were very quickly and clearly positive. But just to be absolutely sure before we told the family, we took a Clear Blue pregnancy test too, and when I returned from the bathroom with my BFP, I remember me and my husband getting all teary with joy and excitement.
I was overwhelmed with happiness but shocked that it had happened so quickly. We both immediately looked down at my stomach and caressed the skin that would very soon bulge and hold our little baby.
Fast forward to a few days later, I was in a clinic having an ultrasound, when the doctor showed me a tiny embryo and said I was already 11 weeks pregnant. 11 weeks?!?! You can bet that we were all shocked in that room! And so began my pregnancy…
Here are the links to each milestone in my pregnancy…

I am writing to publicly thank the many people who made the June to September 2002 "Tracking Cloth" exhibition a great success. This wonderfully creative exhibition of textile and fiber art, which toured the Indonesian cities of Denpasar, Yogyakarta and Jakarta, was the culmination of three years work by Wollongong City Gallery.
The exhibition demonstrated that Australian artists have been positively influenced by their experiences with Indonesia. Symbolically this illustrated to a wide audience that Australians respect the Indonesian people — a message that was very well accepted at all levels, including the political elite and the press (including generous coverage by The Jakarta Post).
In fact, in an extraordinary expression of warmth, Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri stated that "the exhibition had created a symbol of goodwill between our two neighboring nations". This goodwill was also reflected in the caliber of exhibition patrons, which included the governor of Bali, Dewa Beratha, the Crown Princess of Yogyakarta, Sri Gusti Pembayun, and in Jakarta former trade minister and Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore, Gen. (ret) Luhut Panjaitan.
Within Indonesia the exhibition was interpreted as a sophisticated means of bringing very different people together. Major articles appeared in Indonesian's largest daily newspapers discussing not only the cultural merits of the works, but perhaps more importantly, the new language of mutual respect these works conveyed.
Most journalists commented that "Tracking Cloth" was a way of finding social and cultural similarities, rather than just concentrating on and illuminating differences and disagreements. In contrast to the differences that have so often defined the Indonesia-Australia relationship, the exhibition created a safe space in which issues could be raised. It was a starting point. And from these relationships of trust and understanding local opportunities in education, business and diplomacy are already flowing.

Team race for Grace
This was the day that Marie Duffy, mum to baby Grace found out that her daughter had tested positive for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Marie was devastated by the news that rocked her new extended family. For the first 2 months of her life Grace was in Temple Street every week for check-ups. Marie and her husband were taught how to give their baby her medications and how to do physio on her which has to be done twice a day, every day, for the rest of her life. They also learnt that they had to give their new little girl digestive enzymes which she has to take before she eats anything.
"The 29th November 2011 was a grim day. A day I will never forget. A day that changed our lives forever."
Christmas was hard that year for Marie and her family, coming to terms with the shock, the grief and the denial but seeing Grace smile up at them and laugh without a care in the world made it a lot easier. To look at Grace you wouldn't know a thing was wrong with her but it's what is happening on the inside that is the scary part. CF is like an invisible disease.
And so the challenge started. Marie had never done a marathon before in her life but she headed out every morning with Grace in the buggy all wrapped up. Grace would get her morning sleep and Marie could have a cry if she needed it or simply just reflect on everything that had happened to their little family. Her walks became a form of therapy. In the build up to the marathon, Marie got created hampers and went around all her local business asking them to do a raffle. Some of her team even got their work places involved by doing cake sales and small fundraisers!
"On NYE before the clock turned 12, I had a sudden urge of wanting to make a difference. I just felt helpless and I wanted to do something. There is no cure yet for Cystic Fibrosis so in the meantime while we wait for this cure I thought if Grace was going to be admitted into Temple street for an infection she would have an isolation room!! I decided I would write a text to every woman on my phone. I asked my family, my friends AND friends of friends to please make a new year's resolution with me and help me raise money for an isolation room in Temple Street. I asked them to either run, walk or crawl the mini marathon with me."
The day of the marathon came – all of the girls standing at the start line in the purple T-Shirts, with Grace on their minds and in their hearts.
As the days past Marie started to collect all the money from her team and the local businesses and she was blown away by how much her team had raised – a staggering €25,133.40. It was a huge achievement!
"Coming to the end of the marathon my husband had brought my girls to cheer me on, so I took Grace and my 6 year old daughter and they came with me to the end of the line. I found it so rewarding and inspiring. Temple Street held a fantastic event after the race in Dicey Rileys, where we all sat back, had a bit of grub, a few drinks and a good laugh."
The big milestone for Marie was on January 20th 2014 when she was invited into Temple Street for the opening of our new Top Flat ward complete with state of the art Isolation Suites.
"What an amazing experience to see four state of the art Isolation Suites with ensuite facilities. Managing 'Team Race for Grace' was so rewarding and when I saw the results with my own eyes I was overwhelmed. Our hard work really paid off. Now Grace can go to a safe place that will add years to her life and prevent her from being exposed to threatening infections. I am over the moon and urge all women out there to do the mini marathon, You might just enjoy it….."

While we don't think the wife is going to go for an M&P Logo indoor floor mat, we are sure this will be a hit for gun stores and indoor ranges. This could also be a great addition to your shop or garage to wipe off your grubby feet before heading in from a reloading session. In the scheme of things who cares what you do with it as this will add to the swag bucket for those who love all things Smith & Wesson.

Labor chief decries party's 15-seat showing
Shelly Yachimovich takes to Facebook to bemoan third place finish for left-leaning party, urges Lapid to resist Netanyahu's call
Despite leading her party from an all-time low to become the third largest party in the Knesset, Labor chief Shelly Yachimovich expressed "disappointment" with her faction's showing in Tuesday voting.
Labor took 15 seats in the election, falling behind only the joint Likud-Beytenu list and Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid. Yet Yachimovich said that her slate could have done better.
"Fifteen seats in indeed much more than we could have dreamed of six months ago, but disappointing," she wrote on her official Facebook page in Hebrew. "We wanted more citizens to join us on this complex, but oh so just path we have chosen."
Some Labor figures have bitterly criticized her handling of the election campaign, in which she marginalized diplomatic issues and focused on the economy, and ruled out serving in a Likud-led government. Labor MK Daniel Ben-Simon said Wednesday that she should step down.
Yachimovich took the reigns of the Labor Party in 2011, when it had only eight Knesset members, following an internal party split in which five members led by former leader Ehud Barak formed a breakaway party. The 13 seats garnered in the 2009 elections were its lowest total ever, representing electoral disillusionment with the left-leaning party.
The Labor head also called on Lapid to resist joining a coalition headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and instead try to form a government of his own, which she would help him do.
"If you choose this path, I will help you, despite the disagreement between us. We can find ways to bridge them," she wrote. "There is an opportunity to send home Netanyahu, who represents the definite opposite of everything we believe in."
The plea marked an about face for Yachimovich, who said before the election that she would only sit in a coalition that she headed.
Yachimovich, Lapid and Tzipi Livni, who heads the Hatnua party, had mooted the idea before the election of forming a bloc to keep Netanyahu from being able to form a coalition of 61 seats. But talks between the three fell apart after differences of opinion arose.
On Wednesday, Lapid ruled out the option of forming a blocking majority against Netanyahu, refusing to "rely on the Arab parties."
