Baptism is a happy and special event; usually the first 'formal' event in a child's life and it provides an opportunity for all the family, relatives and friends to come together. We are pleased to be able to share it with you. We have found that people celebrating baptism at our church enjoy the service.
We hope that your child's baptism will be a wonderful and memorable occasion and that it will mark the beginning of a long and happy association with our church. This information will help you with some of the questions which surround baptism or christening (Christian-making) as some prefer to call it. We do not put pressure upon parents or make them feel guilty about coming to church, but sometimes a baptism can remind us of how much we have let our own Christian life slip. It can be an opportunity to affirm our trust in God and to make a fresh start. We hope that the welcome you receive will encourage you to feel a part of our church. We understand the effort involved for parents with young children to get organised and to make a habit of going to church, but parents who do, are usually pleased that they took the trouble. The Family Service operates on the first Sunday of every month, but you will find something in the whole range of services which take place on Sunday mornings.
We welcome even noisy children to our services and provide a crèche with toys and we encourage parents to walk in and out during the service. It is our sincere belief that there is no better thing that you can give to a child than the opportunity to learn about God and his love for them. In the early years of a child's life they need to have this grounding of faith which will be vital for them if they are to develop into happy and balanced adults. You are welcome to contact the church office to discuss any aspect of baptism. We will be pleased to spend time with you.
Will you baptise our baby?
This is a question which we are often asked at St Mark's, Clayfield and the answer is YES! We look forward to welcoming you and your family to celebrate this important occasion. With you we will thank God for the birth of your baby, name the child with its Christian name and welcome a new member into the Christian family of the Church.
Of course if you are an adult who was not baptised as a child then we hope that baptism may be something which you would like to consider for yourself. You will not be placed in any embarrassing situations, we will not make you feel guilty about coming to church, but we do encourage you to start thinking of this as your church. The information here will give you answers to some of the questions which you may have; please contact one of the ministry team if you have further questions and they will be pleased to talk with you.
What is baptism?
A chance for all the family to get together, celebrate and thank God for the new life which he has given. It is a time when we remember that as well as being a member of a human family your baby is a part of God's family too, the family of the Church. It is a sacrament that means an outward and visible sign of God's love. After his death and resurrection Jesus commanded his followers to make new disciples and baptise them too. This has been done ever since by Christians throughout the world.
Why do we baptise babies?
Most parents feel a need to say 'thank you' to someone for the wonderful gift of their child. That 'someone' is of course the God who gives life to us all. Jesus told his disciples to baptise people who wanted to become Christians and join the church. The Bible tells us that whole households were being baptised and of course soon parents wanted their children to be baptised too. Baptism is not like an insurance policy which you take out to make sure that your baby goes to heaven; God loves your child just as much now as after the baptism service.
However it does make sense to give your child the very best start in life and what could be better than to encourage them from the very earliest days to be open to God and to know of His love for them. Some churches do not baptise children until they are old enough to understand everything for themselves. However we do make all kinds of decisions on behalf of our children including schools and medical treatment as we do our best to encourage them in the best way for their lives.
We are pleased that you have decided to give your child the benefit of being welcomed into the church family, now please take the effort to bring them along to church throughout these early years so that they can have the Christian start that they deserve.
In the baptism service we also pray that one day they will want as adults to stand up for themselves to confirm the baptism vows which have been made on their behalf: this is called Confirmation. If you would like a chance to think more about the Christian faith then you may like to ask about confirmation.
When will the baptism take place?
Baptisms take place in the main Sunday Morning Service at church, because part of the service is the welcoming of the child by the congregation. Usually the baptism occurs in the Family Service at 9.30am.
In certain circumstances it may be possible to arrange another service in the month, however although we welcome children to all our services we find that Family Services are best for baptisms.
The Promises
Parents and Godparents will be asked to stand up and declare their own Christian faith. It is important to make sure that you can make these promises and only you can truthfully know that. If you have any difficulty we will discuss the promises with you. Baptism is a very important occasion and not to be undertaken lightly.
Parents and godparents are invited to gather around the font, one family at a time. Please bring this order of service with you.
The minister says to the parents and godparents: You have brought this child to baptism. You must now declare before God and His Church the Christian faith into which she/he is to be baptised, and in which you will help her/him to grow. You must answer for yourself and for her/him.
There are then three questions about the way you intend to live your life. Parents and Godparents make the promises for themselves and also for the child. They apply to their own lives and on behalf of the children for whom they will be responsible.
Here are the questions with a short explanation;Question 1: Do you turn to Christ? You will answer – I turn to Christ I want to change direction. I accept that my life is not totally my own. I acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I will try to follow his teaching and his guidance for my life day by day. Question 2: Do you repent of your sins? You will answer – I repent of my sins I'm sorry about the past and I know that I am accountable to God for my actions and thoughts. I can never be perfect but as I admit what is wrong he forgives and accepts me. Question 3: Do you renounce evil? You will answer – I renounce evil I know that I sometimes have to make choices between good and evil. I want to set the evil behind me and from now on I will always try to choose the good.
You will then be asked to confirm your faith by answering the following questions;Do you believe and trust in God the Father, who made the world? Answer: I believe and trust in him Do you believe and trust in his Son Jesus Christ, who redeemed mankind? Answer: I believe and trust in him Do you believe and trust in his Holy Spirit, who gives life to the people of God? Answer: I believe and trust in him
The minister says to the congregation;
This is the faith of the Church.
All say: This is our faith. We believe and trust in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Naming of a Child
When the minister baptises the child he/she will ask what names you have chosen. These will be the Christian names for the child for the rest of its life. The minister takes the child and says: 'N, I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.'
Important Symbols
Water is a sign of cleansing and also an important sign of life. Water symbolises how we are all washed clean by God and forgiven and accepted by Him. As we cannot live without water so this sign reminds us that we also need the cleansing and renewing presence of God in our lives.
The Sign of the Cross
The minister will make the sign of the cross on the forehead of the child using the water. This is a sign to remind us of how Christ died for each one of us on the cross. As Christ died for us so we are now signed with the cross -the badge of our faith – to remind us that we must not be ashamed to profess our faith and fight against all that is evil.Minister: I sign you with the sign of the cross, to show that you are marked as Christ's own forever. Live as a disciple of Christ: fight the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith. Confess Christ crucified, proclaim His resurrection, and look for his coming in glory.
The Lighted Candle
A lighted candle is now given and the minister says, God has brought you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
The congregation responds: Shine as a light in the world to the glory of God the Father.
The child will be presented with a small candle to show that in baptism we pass from darkness to light. Jesus is described in the Bible as the light of the world and as Christians we are to shine as lights in the world. Our world needs now, more than ever, for us to all reject the ways of darkness and follow Christ in the Christian faith.
The Welcome
At the end of the baptism service the congregation says, 'We therefore receive and welcome you as a member with us of the body of Christ, as a child of the one heavenly Father, and an inheritor of the Kingdom of God.'
Prayers and Readings
Your child is very special to you which is one of the reasons why you have gone to the effort to ask for baptism. Baptism is a wonderful time to say thank you to God for the gift of a child. But of course your child isn't just your child – but God's as well. God loves your child and went to enormous lengths to show how much he loves all of his children, even to the point of dying on the cross.
This means that in a sense there are no such things as single parents; God is a loving parent too. In the days and years ahead try to remember that you should not try to bring your child up on your own, but rather with the help and support of God as well.
Here are some prayers and readings which you may find helpful.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, you welcomed children when others turned them away. Help me to love my child as you love her/him. Give me patience when I am tired, strength to cope when things get tough. Give your Holy Spirit of love and joy to abide in our home and keep us safe. Amen.
God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. The Gospel of John 3:16.
Jesus said.'Come to me all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' The Gospel of Matthew 11:28
A permanent record of the baptism, with family details, is recorded in the official registers of the church. A copy of this is given in the form of a special certificate which the church has printed, as a reminder of this day.
What is a godparent? Godparents make the same promises on behalf of the child being baptised as the parents do. Godparents promise to pray and support the child and to help the parents bring up the child in the Christian faith. It is an important and responsible role.
How many godparents should I have? You should have three: two of the same sex as the child.
Who can I choose to be a godparent? Godparents can be family members or friends. However, it is important that you choose people who will take an interest in your child's spiritual welfare and who will pray for you and your child. They should be adults and must be baptised themselves.
What happens after baptism?
Baptism marks a new start for your child, as a member of the worldwide Christian community. In turn, the Church welcomes you and your child and promises to support you in bringing the child up in the faith. Most churches have services where children are welcome and with special groups and activities for them. We have a toddler group during the week.
You may also have questions yourself about the Christian faith or about being an Anglican in particular. Read this helpful Christians and Anglicans Brochure and speak to us today!
We hope your child's baptism will be a wonderful and memorable occasion and that it will mark the beginning of a long and happy association with this church.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a baptism and a christening? None, they are just different words for the same thing.
Can we have a private service of baptism? Baptisms usually take place in the church's main service, because they are a public declaration that your child has become part of the church family. It is important that the church congregation is there to support you and welcome your child. However, if personal circumstances make this difficult, talk to your parish priest.
What is the right age for baptism? Baptism can happen at any age. What matters is that those concerned believe it is right to ask for baptism. Teenagers and adults may also be baptised—speak to your priest about this.
I'm not a regular churchgoer. Can I still have my child baptised? Yes. The church believes that God's love is available to all. You may also wish to find out more about the Christian faith and what joining the church involves before you make a decision about baptism. Again, your parish priest can give you guidance. You are asked to come along to church at least once before the Baptism.
What does it cost? There is no charge for a baptism service, however a donation towards the work of this church may be made using the envelope marked "Baptism donation" and placed either in the collection plate during the service of given to the priest on the day of the service.
What do we do next? If you would like to proceed with the baptism please contact St Mark's to organise a date for the baptism—as we baptise only two children at each Family Service you need to check the availability of your preferred date before you send out your invitations.
Confused? If you are usure about any of the information about baptism please feel free to contact us or come in and have a chat. You are welcome of course to attend any of our services held each Sunday; 7.00am & 9.30am.

text: I believe I invented a recipe yesterday. It 's a recipe for onion sauce. Before I got round to inventing it I looked at other people's recipes online- and they were all either too fussy or I didn't have the ingredients- and one of them caused the computer to freeze. So, having acquired an overview of the subject, I marched off to the kitchen and did this: Chopped up two onions Cooked them in a sufficient amount of butter until soft and translucent Added plenty of salt and black pepper Stirred in about four tablespoons of plain yoghurt Mashed it all up in a blender. And then ate it with roast lamb.

The Sharp IGCH2JW Helmet Ion Generator with Plasmacluster has a RRP of $149.
My Partner rides motocross every weekend, needless to say sweaty hair in a helmet is not a nice smell. this completly took away all the smell, he has now taken it to his friends to show them and they all love it

VANCOUVER -- A woman whose beloved therapy dog was disembowelled by a pit bull is livid that the city prosecutor has decided not to file bylaw charges against the animal's owner.
Mia Johnson's miniature pinscher Yuri died in November after he was attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier, a member of one of the breeds commonly referred to as pit bulls.
Johnson was heartbroken last week when she learned that, after five months, the city bylaw prosecutor's office has decided not to pursue any legal action, even though the Animal Services department had recommended charges for three bylaw violations.
"There's something wrong here. This is not what should have happened," she said, adding that no one from the prosecutor's office interviewed her about the attack.
Johnson and her daughter were walking Yuri on leash near West 10th Avenue and Dunbar Street on Nov. 1 when they ran into another woman and her pit bull. The bigger dog was wearing what looked like a cloth muzzle and was straining at his leash, according to Johnson.
Somehow, the leash broke, the muzzle fell off and the pit bull's jaws locked onto Yuri's body, ripping him open. Johnson had to have him euthanized.
The pit bull's owner had her dog put down as well, but Johnson was hoping for more action from authorities.
"The owner should have been charged. They should have been charged, big time. It sends a message," she said.
A city communications staff member said no one was available to comment on the decision not to pursue charges. However, the prosecutor's office came to the conclusion that Yuri's death was the result of an unfortunate series of coincidences and that the bigger dog's owner was taking reasonable care of the animal.
Johnson doesn't buy that.
"What's unfortunate here is not that the leash broke or that the muzzle came off, it's that someone was walking a very dangerous animal," she said.
Johnson has noticed an increase in the number of pit bulls in her neighbourhood, and she's worried that attacks like this could become more frequent as animal-loving Vancouverites take in rescue dogs from places that have restricted pit bull ownership or from shelters with high euthanization rates.
"I think they're just being good-hearted Samaritans, they're trying to save animals. I'm really sympathetic," she said.
But she worries that the average dog owner doesn't have the ability to safely care for an animal that has the potential to be dangerous because of its strength and history of mistreatment.

TROPICAL MALADY (SUD PRALAD) (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2004)
IFC Center
323 Sixth Ave. at West Third St.
Monday, February 29, 4:35, and Wednesday, March 2, 12 noon & 7:00
Series runs February 29 - March 10
Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul won the Jury Prize at Cannes for Tropical Malady, a beautiful, mystical work that will thoroughly engage you — if you allow it to. Part tender love story between a country boy (Banlop Lomnoi) and a soldier (Dakda Kaewbuadee), part folktale set in the deep forests of Thailand, Tropical Malady is a like a visual poem in which details are not as important as the overall effect, which is intoxicating. The unorthodox film features ghosts, a shape-shifter, unusual characters, and a playful sense of humor that come together to form a subtle meditation on life and love. Weerasethakul once again displays the gentle, captivating narrative technique that lies at the heart of his oeuvre, which also includes such works as Blissfully Yours, Syndromes and a Century, and 2010 Palme d'Or winner Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Own Lives. Some people at Cannes walked out on Tropical Malady and others stuck around to boo it; Quentin Tarantino headed the group that awarded it the Jury Prize regardless. You can decide to cheer or boo, or merely just experience, it when it screens on February 29 and March 2 as part of the IFC Center series "Mysterious Splendors: The Films of Apichatpong Weerasethakul," which runs February 29 through March 10 and consists of Weerasethakul's previously mentioned works as well as his 2000 debut, Mysterious Object at Noon, and his newest films, Mekong Hotel and Cemetery of Splendor.

|Matt loved the view through that gap in the red rocks. This was the sunniest afternoon of the trip and we basked like lizards on Bell Rock in Sedona.
|We played a round at Glow Putt on our trip in October, but thought it was cool enough to warrant a return visit this time. I got a hole-in-one on the hardest hole. Matt won every single round all week long though.
|Matt glassing for shorebirds on one of the ponds at The Water Ranch riparian preserve. Two Snowy Egrets are on the opposite bank.
|I love lambic and had never tried the cassis (black currant) version before. We drank it from plastic cups out in the badlands, tucked under a rock ledge watching a desert rainstorm.
|Biscuits and mushroom gravy with scrambled tofu and roasted red potatoes from The Coronado.
|Check out those petrified knot holes!! And the bark! Some looked striking like freshly downed logs rather than stone ones.
|There is the silhouette of a hummingbird drinking nectar from a saguaro bloom at center top of this photo.
|The size and variety of petrified wood was unexpectedly phenomenal. Some looked darn near tie-dyed they were so colorful. Some were a hundred feet long!
|This AirBnB was just about perfect for us--swimming pool and close,walkable proximity to three vegan restaurants.
|I've had a thing for kokopelli since I was a kid, even before I learned all about the myths and symbology behind it. Seeing carvings in real life is such a swell treat for me as an adult. I'd only see one before, at Dinosaur National Monument.
|It never rained all day and it never rained very hard so it didn't cramp our style much. Plus, the rain made the desert come to life in flowers, like this carpet of wee white blooms growing around all the petrified wood.
|Seriously. The flowers were Off.The.Hook.
|As soon as I saw Bell Rock I wanted to climb it. Matt was really angling more to walk around it, but he 's a good sport and was glad we went up, up, up in the end. ...And then we walked around the base, too, for good measure.

|This spiral interacts with the sun on the summer solstice in a different, but similar was as the link above from the Puerco Pueblo site. The rising sun cuts the spiral almost exactly in half for several minutes. These timekeeping petroglyphs are abundant in the park with almost 20 recorded thus far. This level of ancient intimacy and knowledge with the season and stars is humbling and impressive to me.

|We thought the Arizona sycamore was a really nifty looking tree. This has nothing to do with my sprained ankle, but there weren't any pictures of that...and it is a pretty nifty tree so... The bark is smooth and has a fascinating speckled pattern.
|There are so many colors in petrified wood. I had no idea they could be lime or mustard yellow or sparkling pink.

Subject: Re: [oslc-sc] Re: OASIS OSLC Open Project Proposal
Basic Project Backer fees are paid annually. The fees are scaled, based on the organizationâs employee headcount:
$ 25,000: 2,000+ employees
$ 15,000: 500-1,999 employees
$ 10,000: 100-499 employees
$ 5,000: 10-99 employees
$ 2,000: <10 employees
$ 1,000: Nonprofit, university, local or non-OECD government
Project Backer organizations each receive a seat on the Project Governing Board (PGB) as well as exclusive visibility and promotional benefits.
For OSLC... if the StC and TCs decide in January to form the Open Project (in time for inclusion in OASISâ program roll-out in late March), OASIS will waive the Backer fees for the organizations that are represented on the current OSLC MS StC for the foreseeable future, provided that those companies retain their OASIS Foundational Sponsor, Sponsor, or Contributor memberships.
Organizations not represented on the current OSLC MS StC will be able to become OSLC Backers by paying the annual fees listed above.
Note: This offer covers core services provided by OASIS. If the OSLC PGB determines the need for supplemental activities (code auditing, event hosting, consultants, etc.), then additional funding will be required. OASIS staff will work with the OSLC PGB to determine its funding requirements and how to best meet them.
1.1. What are the startup and annual fees for an Open Project?
1.2. It is our understanding that the PGC requires a minimum threshold in annual sponsorship commitments by OASIS member companies. What is this minimum threshold?
Current OASIS OSLC members will enjoy the fee waiver noted above, but still will need to have at least two organizations on its PGB. These may be either current MS StC organizations (holding OASIS Foundational, Sponsor, or Contributors membership) or new organizations that pay the annual OSLC Project Backer fee.
In special cases, we may offer OASIS members a reduced or waived fee to become Project Backers for specific Open Projects (e.g., our current offering to OSLC MS members).
1.5. What happens of the member participation in the PGC falls below the minimum threshold, but there is still ongoing work by the Technical Steering Committee in the open source and/or specification deliverables?
2. What are the rules for non-member participants, contributors, maintainers and PGB members?
2.1. Do non-members of either the Technical Steering Committee or Project Governing Board have voting rights?
Members of the PGB approve major governance and advancement actions via ballot when needed.
Members of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) are free to determine how to manage achieving consensus; voting is not required.
2.2. How are these voting rights calculated? At the discretion of the PGB?
2.3. Do all voting members have to sign the CLA (even if they don't contribute content)?
3. Regarding Legal entity, oversight, management of IP and licensing agreements, trademarks and copyrights: Specifically what services will OASIS provide in order to assess the IP of Open Project work products, including dependencies on components outside the project?
For example, open source projects often have dependencies on other open source projects. In order to assess IP exposure, it is typically necessary to examine all direct and transitive dependencies to ensure there are no licensing issues. This often requires code scans to detect potential issues. Will OASIS provide these services?
Code scans are not included in the core services provided by OASIS for all Open Projects. The cost to provide this service will have to be covered by supplemental funding (e.g. fees for Project Backers).
If OSLC requires code scans, let us know as soon as possible. OASIS will work with the StC to determine specific needs, evaluate service provider options, and agree on how the cost will be covered.
4. Will the current OSLC TC GitHub repos, wikis and issues be migrated as is to the new open project?
4.4. Are there any changes in how Open Project standards track work products are published by OASIS?
Specifically I'm trying to understand if the issue we had with document relative links being broken by the OASIS publishing process will be resolved by migrating to an Open Project so that we don't have do the work to modify ReSpec to fix up links on document publish.
5. What are the hosting constraints and any additional costs associated with utilizing the Open Project Web site?
We have just deployed a new open-servicers.netsite. This site was developed using HUGO (https://gohugo.io). Can we continue using this technology and URL for the Open Project web site? Note that it is necessary to preserve the open-service.netdomain since the OSLC namespaces utilize this domain name for backward compatibility and access to machine readable vocabulary documents.

This from timeslive.co.za:
Kanye West has sparked speculation he uses illegal torrents after a screenshot he posted showed he had a Pirate Bay tab open.
The All Day hitmaker caused controversy when he posted on Twitter a screenshot of his laptop to show he was listening to Sufjan Stevens – but it was the other tabs he had open which caught the eye of fans.
One tab read 'Pirate Bay Torrent Xfe…', while another could be seen displaying 'Xfer Records Serum t..' , prompting Twitter users including producer Deadmau5 to accuse him of stealing wavetable synthesizer programme Serum by Xfer Records. The EDM star tweeted: "What the f*** @kanyewest … Can't afford serum? D***. (sic)"
And Deadmau5 also called on fans to donate money to help West – who recently claimed he was $53 million in debt – purchase the $189 music production programme, which is used to produce high-quality sound with an easy-to-use interface. He posted: "Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum.

Tonight was the season premier of Desi Rascals on Sky Living, which was hugely anticipated by pretty much every single person in the Asian Community.
Director, Gurinder Chadha brings us a 'real-life' drama chronicling the lives of young British Asians in West London. You're probably wondering why I've said 'real life' and not real life, and that's because the whole episode just seemed to be so scripted. I thought the first episode started off really slow and I really was expecting a lot more, and so was everyone else from what I could see on my Twitter feed.
We get to meet Shreena who is preparing for her wedding to Prakash, and get to know their thoughts and feelings before the wedding. It was also nice to see what their parent's felt, how Prakash's mum feels they will get along, now with two women living together, of different generations. And this couldn't be any truer for many young Asian women who have got recently got married and moved in with the in-laws! Not only does the newly married woman need to adjust, so does the MiL (mother-in-law), especially now as there will be another woman in her son's life. I personally think that wedding should have been aired as a season finale rather than the first episode of the show. The whole wedding scene, personally, in my opinion, dragged a little and I felt like I was watching someone's video wedding. I would have loved to seen a bit more of the behind the scenes of an Indian wedding. For the non-Asian viewers, it would have been great to show the events and festivities that take place during the lead up to a wedding, e.g. mendhi night. The wedding venue did look absolutely stunning and I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me where it was, lol!
Two things that I really enjoyed about the show which I am so glad Gurinder Chadha did is 1) cast a gay Asian man and 2) have two inter-racial couples. These are two things that are kept hidden in the Asian community, and normally frowned upon. Only recently we heard about the young Muslim Doctor who jumped to his death because he was gay and his mum was so ashamed of him, she asked him "to seek a cure". Being gay isn't openly spoken about at all within the Asian community and I'm glad within the first half hour we meet Naman, a gay Asian man.
We also meet Jo and Celia Shah, and Rennick and Vaneeta. In my personal opinion, inter-racial couples aren't frowned upon in the Asian Community, but it definitely will get the aunties talking when they find out you're not with an Indian boy/girl! For a lot of the older generation aunties and uncles, being with a non-indian is a big deal, and you can guarantee your name will come up at any social gathering.
I was just a little disappointed with the first episode, but I don't think I was the only one. I am keen to see how the show will progress, and get to meet the other characters. And, it will be really interesting to see how Shreena starts to settle in at her husband's house, or should I say, her mother-in-laws' house!
What were your thoughts on the first episode? Would love to know!

Madurai's Meenakshi Temple in South India, Hinduism's grandest citadel to the goddess, is a sacred place of pilgrimage for Hindus the world over and one of the most famous temples in India. This temple, centuries old and hand carved out of granite, covers an area of 16.5 acres. In Madurai, the Goddess Meenakshi is considered to be queen and the temple her home. The hallways and chambers are crowded from dawn to dusk, filled with pilgrims eager for darshan (sight) of the Goddess Meenakshi in the sanctum sanctorum. Pilgrims come offering prayers, to have wishes fulfilled, to atone for misdeeds or simply to offer their love to the Goddess for Her presence in their life.
The Meenakshi Temple in Madurai has 14 gopurams (gateway towers), ranging from 45 to 50m in height. The oldest of these towers was built by the King Maravarman Sundara Pandyan during the period 1216-1238, and this tower is located on the eastern side of the temple. Of all the towers in the temple, the tallest one is in the south side and reaches a height of 51.9m (170 feet).
It is estimated that there are about 33,000 sculptures in the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai. The towers of the temple are colorfully painted and display countless deities. The hallways within the temple display monolithic carvings of angels (devas) and great angels (mahadevas). It is by far Hinduism's most impressive ancient temple.
The temple attracts 15,000 visitors a day and around 25,000 on Fridays. The annual 10-day Meenakshi Tirukalyanam festival, celebrated during April and May, attracts 1 million visitors. As you walk the hallways, meditate in a quiet corner or worship at one of the many shrines, you will experience as a felt-sense the devotion that has been poured into this hallowed sanctuary over millennia by the countless millions of pilgrims. The Hindu religion is alive in this temple and the emanation of Shakti (feminine energetic power) from the sacred sanctum sanctorum is a life-transforming experience in this divine citadel.
A highlight of our 2017 Vedic Adventure will be a visit to Madurai's Meenakshi Temple. Experience this sacred citadel to the Goddess for yourself on the upcoming immersion into Ayurveda, Yoga & Spirituality with Jasmine Grace, 29 November to 10 December 2017.

Have the laptop on a board that is attached to a belt that goes around your waste. To keep the laptop from falling off have the end of the board attached to a strap around your neck. Most of the weight will be on your hips where it should be and your neck would prevent it from flopping over and letting the laptop fall off.
Wearable laptop computer sling for stand-up use? Answered
I want to stand up while using my laptop, but instead of putting the laptop on a stand, I want to WEAR it like a sling in front of me while I'm using it. Maybe something strappy that would hold the laptop securely while I type etc. It's a 15" (diagonal) screen laptop, and not especially lightweight, so I'd prefer not to support its weight entirely by my neck. I'd appreciate any ideas for how to make something like that!
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I may have found a way to do it, using a wire cookie cooling rack and some straps from old camping gear. My wire rack has square openings that catch the bottom pads of the laptop and keep it from sliding in any direction. Spring hooks make it easy to clip the straps to the rack. I can't put a strap around my neck due to an injury, so instead I've sewn two straps to the center back of a wide webbing waist strap, making "suspenders" that criss-cross in back and then go over the shoulders. I used a spring hook on the other end of each shoulder strap to clip them to the outermost corners of the rack, and also 2 spring hooks from the waist belt to the two inside corners of the rack. It's not elegant by any means, but it seems secure. The straps clip on and off the rack pretty easily, the rack is very light weight, and once the straps are adjusted to fit, it doesn't take much effort to put it on the next time. The "waist" strap is a little higher than a belt would be, so the screen distance and angle are about where I normally have it. Typing is a little cramped due to the laptop being so close to the body, but it works OK for most purposes, and I'll just stand at the counter to write that next great novel! Thanks again for your reply!

"Believe it or not" – pound at the mercy of Brexit rumors
For two years now, traders of the pound/dollar pair have been in one of two border states – either on a wave of optimism or under the yoke of pessimism. This cycle is very consistent and is primarily due to the Brexit theme. The current price trend is also explained by hopes for a "soft" divorce process with Europe.
Let me remind you that last week the pound soared by almost 300 points amid rumors of reaching agreements between London and Brussels on key issues of the negotiation process. In the press there was even an approximate date of the deal – November 21. These rumors are overgrown with new details, spurring the growth of the British currency. Thus, the press reported that the banks of Britain are likely to remain in the European markets. And, despite the fact that officials later denied such agreements, the pound still remained in positive territory.
The fact is that a series of positive signals comes to the market from different sides (not only British, but also European and American publications released by insiders), creating an overall picture of optimism. And they didn't have time to refute some rumors on Downing street, others appeared in the press, no less encouraging – for example, that Theresa May was able to agree that the country would remain within the European Customs Union. Also, the British press announced a new proposal of Brussels regarding the fate of the Irish border. Relevant publications in the British press appeared last weekend. Thus, on Monday, the GBP/USD pair started the trading week from the northern gap, returning to the 30th figure.
Official London has to refute, not confirm, or simply not to comment on such publications. That's understandable. Now, if any agreements have been reached within the framework of the working group, but their "legalization" should take place systematically and according to a certain algorithm. This applies primarily to Britain – given the heterogeneity of the political position on the prospects of Brexit among members of Parliament. London should confirm at least one of the published rumors – and the camp of negotiators will be hit by a barrage of criticism from both labour and "conservative hawks". As noted by many political analysts, at the conclusion of the deal, the British in any case will have to compromise, and the reaction of Theresa May's opponents, in turn, is too predictable to "open the cards" ahead of time.
According to experts, the prime minister will announce the terms of the deal only when all the controversial issues are agreed – after that, she will put deputies before a choice: either they support the proposed version of the agreement, or they allow the country to get "derailed" by agreeing to a hard Brexit. In this scenario, any premature hype in the information space is unnecessary – it is therefore not surprising that Downing street refutes any more or less significant rumors about the negotiation process. But the market is not so naive: too much homogeneous information suggests that London and Brussels are on the verge of a deal. And representatives of the British government recognize the progress in the negotiations – but each time they add a remark that the dialogue has not yet been completed and it's too early to talk about its results.
Thus, the information picture of the day contributes to the growth of the British currency, despite the positions of officials in London and Brussels. Indirectly, the pound is supported by the fact that the MPs failed to announce a vote of no confidence in Theresa May (once again) at the end of October, strengthening her position on the eve of decisive negotiations. This suggests that parliamentarians are more likely to support the version of the deal that May brings from Brussels – because otherwise they will be forced to take responsibility for the chaotic Brexit.
The position of the English regulator also helps to strengthen the pound. The Bank of England last week showed a "hawkish" attitude, positively assessing the current trends in the country's economy. Moreover, the regulator warned that in the second half of next year the economy could "overheat" if the current growth dynamics continues. This rhetoric has increased the chances of an interest rate hike next spring, and possibly again in the fall. However, such forecasts are also "tied" to Brexit, whose fate is still in limbo.
From the technical point of view, the GBP/USD pair is on the daily chart within the Kumo cloud and slightly above the average line of the Bollinger Bands indicator. This arrangement indicates the uncertainty of traders – both the bulls of the pair and the bears. For the northern trend to develop, the pair needs to gain a foothold above 1.3080 – that is, above the upper limit of the Kumo cloud. In this case, the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator will form a bullish "Parade of lines" signal, opening the way to a fairly large-scale price increase to the 33rd figure. The nearest support is located at 1.2970 (the lower boundary of the Kumo cloud coinciding with the Kijun-sen line). But for greater confidence in the context of the southern movement, traders need to overcome the mark of 1.2865 (Tenkan-sen line on D1). In this case, the northern impulse will finally fade away and the pair will go into the "paws" of the GBP/USD bears.
