I read somewhere that I needed the real CBC forms if you are from California. The local police (here in Korea) printed them out for me when we took the prints. b. He folded the papers which have my prints on them and put them in envelopes. Are folded papers ok?

Ehhh...the website below says that printing the online form is OK. Why would Korean police have US FBI fingerprint cards? Seems that if you had to have original cards, we'd all have to fly back home and do it in person, eh? http://www.thewaygookeffect.com/2010/10/fbi-background-check-walk-through-for-e.html Quote: 1) The website with the information on requesting a criminal background check is here. (LINK) Read it. 2) Fill out and print off the application form. (LINK) 3) Print off five copies of the standard fingerprint form (FD-258) and fill each of them out. Printed on a color printer is preferable. (LINK) You should get a full set of prints on three of them to mail in, but if the officer or you makes a mistake, it is good to have two extra blanks to start over if needed. You need to send in three in the event the FBI rejects one because of smudging and wants a new one. 4) Print one copy of an example of a completed fingerprint card. (LINK) The officer who took my prints had never used an FBI print card before and really appreciated the example I brought him. 5) Fill out and print off the credit card payment form. (LINK) They do not accept personal checks. 6) Bring with you to the station your passport and alien registration card. You actually should not need to provide them, but they will want to see them to confirm your identity and make a copy for record keeping purposes But the FBI FAQ page says: Quote: 6. Can I use the fingerprint card I download from this site? Yes. The FBI will accept the downloaded paper fingerprint card only for the purpose of requesting an FBI Identification Record. If you go to a law enforcement agency or private fingerprinting agency to be fingerprinted, they may prefer to use a fingerprint card on standard card stock. You may use the fingerprint card provided by the printing agency. "only for the purpose of requesting an FBI Identification Record". That's not the same as a CBC, is it? Crap. Not sure. Now what?

Second, with the risk of being redundant, I am re-applying at the same school and it is an adult hagwon; is the paperwork process any easier if I re-apply/extend my e2 visa? I have been reading mixed results Third, I haven't left Korea since I first arrived in 2010; why would I need another CRC from the U.S.? Since I haven't been there, how can i have committed a crime there? I read somewhere I can just get a Korean CRC since I haven't left korea, is that true? Why is this all so complicated!!?!? What masochist designed this system!?!?

Turn off the brain. Off. Now get prepared to pedal backwards. Turn on the timer on your electric fan in case of accidental death. Ok, now let's get started. 1. Korea invented law. And English. You're lucky enough to be allowed into the Land of the Morning Calm to begin with. Now: 2. Left hand, right hand. Don't trust anything you read online or are told on the phone. You can hear one thing and be told something completely different when you arrive at customs or anywhere else in Korea. I don't care what anyone here says. I've had it happen to me too many times. They want 2 sealed transcripts? I bring 50. Sealed, stamped and kissed by the Prime Minister of Canada with a framed photo, time-stamped. Overdo everything, do not skimp or take chances. Make sure you are 110% ABSOLUTELY certain that what you are doing is right. 2. You need a CRC every year, even if you don't leave the country, for a new job or to renew your contract. Do not question this. It is Korean law. Remember: Korea invented law, so do not question it. Yes, the paperwork is easier when you renew (obviously), but it is still brutally painful. 3.

Also, my current visa expires in March, so I still have time on the clock, as it is. Now, what I DON'T have is an FBI background check- my hagwon started the paperwork on my visa before the Jan 1st deadline. Now, at my new hagwon, they say there's a new rule that was added in August that I need a CBC in order to TRANSFER the visa? Can anyone verify this or not? Thanks!

Is it the judgment day for you whether to enter in the gambling world or not? If not then I would like to insist to do so because this is the only way through which you can have the best time of yours during the boring time. The name itself will force you to go for the play because mostly the names are based on anything which you cannot imagine. They may be based on movies, tv series, endangered species, famous places and anything.
You will be confused when you will see that but when you will be the regular visitor then all your doubts will be solved. The ladder of online pokies will give you the chance to have the fun of your want and the simple thing which you can perform is that, make the search and go for the play. One thing which I would like to mention in my post is that before making the download of any app just make sure from the review section because it gives all the idea and overview of the app.
As I had watched the full movie and I loved the cast and theme of the movie so after doing analysis I downloaded Terminator 2. The extended special edition of the play released from microgaming is out of the world. It gives the chance to have the play with reels and makes the chance to have the win 243 different ways.
The costume of the animated icon of the movie is so pleasing that you will not move your eye from the screen. Soundtrack and the graphics of the play is awesome and you will also get some of the faces of the playing cards such as king, queen, nine, ten and many more. So be the character of the movie and take the fun of the gambling.

The quarterly economic growth number is no doubt one of the most watched economic measures for assessing the country's growth chart. It is one of the earliest yardsticks to gauge the effectiveness of the various policies implemented by the Govt and it was a clear signal for the Modi Government when the numbers were announced last evening.
The Government is walking a tightrope on the economic front and there is no room for complacency going forward. Though growth in the first quarter continues to tread above the psychological 7% mark it is significantly lower than what was recorded in the same period last year at 7.1% Vs 7.4%. You could argue that whatever it is India is set to overtake China in its quarterly growth progress but my concern is growth has declined significantly in most categories compared what they clocked same time last year. The only exception is hotel transport, trade and communication.
Agriculture perhaps indicates some sunshine despite the shortfall in rains. It recorded a positive quarter after two consecutive quarters of decline. The core sector data is also insipid and failed to lift the spirit. The need to revive both demand as well as investment is written in bold and the Modi Government has no time to lose if they intend to even honour 50% of their election claims.
Agriculture especially needs some dedicated and continuous attention. In a country that still draws a primary chunk of its growth data from farming, we can't be so dependent on rains. There is urgent need to tap water sources and disburse it effectively throughout the country. Increasing productivity and addressing irrigation issues take pole position.
The next course of action will be bringing forth agricultural reforms, reviving demand and better equipping the investment areas. Infact in this consumer demand has seen a significant development and recorded a higher tick in this quarter on a year on year basis.
The fiscal deficit numbers probably brought some cheer and assurance on the Govt's policy implementation. The quality of spending has improved, the share of capital expenditure is rising and is set to kindle core sector growth. However there is need to take cohesive steps to address all of these in one go and time is premium currently for the Modi Government.

"That's gold! And I would know!"
"Now that's gold."
That's what I thought at least as I was walking down 7th Avenue earlier today. I had just come from a massage and sauna, because let me tell you, getting dressed to grab a massage and sauna is tough work, and I needed my body to get loose. I left the spa, and as I sipped my complimentary glass of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque champagne – I know it's illegal to drink on the street, but really, who's going to stop me? – I saw you sitting next to a puddle of your own urine with the most hilarious sign.
"I'm Just Dying… In Your Arms Tonight."
I. Love. Cutting Crew. It was priceless, which means I could probably afford it.
I tell you, champagne came right out my nose, the bubbles burned my nostrils but I did not care. Your sign was really bringing up my day. You see, my massage wasn't the best. Eleanor had taken vacation so I had work with Carol, and she just does not work my shoulders the way they need it. But your sign. My god, I was using my silk monogrammed handkerchief to wipe the tears from my eyes.
I hadn't had a laugh like that since my step-mother fell from the second floor balcony of our summer home. I even considered asking you to write for the magazine I'm considering starting with my yacht club friends, but my limousine had arrived and I was late for lunch.

Author has written 24 stories for Harry Potter, and Yu Yu Hakusho.
To anyone just dropping by: PLEASE DO NOT READ THESE STORIES! In all honesty, they are horrible and you'd be wasting your time. Honestly. They are full of poor characterization, writing, and many, many Mary-Sues. Besides, they're unfinished pieces of fanfiction. It's not worth it!
For those who read my stories and whine about how much they suck, or why haven't I updated: I do hope you realize I wrote these stories QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO. I can't BELIEVE I'm still getting these comments.
So PLEASE, people. Stop FLAMING, stop leaving reviews telling me to UPDATE. If you want to tell me you liked it then fine, thank you. But you're wasting your time if you spend forever writing something out about how much I SUCK because I don't CARE. I only leave them up because it's a part of my history as a writer and I like to be able to go back and look at my past, even though it was horrible.
ALSO! Please, don't ask if you can continue my stories. I don't want anyone adopting them, or writing on. For one? Most of these stories have OCs, and I don't want anyone writing my OCs. They might be awful, overused Mary Sues, but they're my awful, overused Mary Sues and I'm very attached to them. For another thing? My stories are (for all that I whine about how terrible they are) still very near and dear to my heart. I'm sorry if you're attached to the story and want resolution. If you need it so badly, then use your imagination. I'm sorry to disappoint.
Thank you for understanding.

Over the past few months, my colleague, Bob Kozak, has presented a series about the importance of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) in successful project delivery and as alerts to current trends. While discussing Result and Driver metrics, he emphasized that metrics are developed to create the path your organization should follow to arrive at your goals / destination. Keep in mind that information and trends change constantly. Therefore, your path needs to be agile enough to encompass those changes. Your metrics or Analytics program should deliver the input necessary to adjust and grow along the way.
Higher Education institutions are awash in data—admissions, financial aid, student records, grades, retention, alumni information and much more. For three years running, "Using Analytics to help drive critical institutional outcomes" has been in Educause's "Top Ten IT Issues." (Find the complete list for 2014 here.) The inference for me is that Higher Ed is behind other sectors in applying Analytics to strategic goals.
Result and Driver metrics, trend analysis and forecasting, and defined alert systems provide continuous feedback to strategic goals. And the feedback, in turn, should be adjusted as the goals change. In other words, setting up an Analytics program is not a one and done proposition.
How to Get Commitment
The key to a robust Analytics program is institution-wide commitment. In working with Higher Ed institutions we find that roles tend to be siloed, not clearly defined and the resources to make a commitment are limited. The emerging role of the "Data Scientist" focuses the analysis of data across many interests and brings together three groups—Institutional Research, IT and teaching and learning.
Without each of these groups, Analytics and the innovation that it supports throughout the organization will not happen. Each brings their own perspective to the table and, working in concert with the Data Scientist, produces an Analytics program more likely to succeed. Alone, Institutional Research may tend to focus narrowly on a specific problem; IT may propose a solution in need of a problem; and, teaching and learning may be inclined to focus on traditional methods. But together, these areas supply the critical thinking necessary to positively influence student outcomes.
Analytics and Student Success
So how are Analytics related to student success? Providing students with the ability to evolve to do what they love to do is a primary purpose of Higher Ed institutions. In order for institutions to help students evolve, the institutions themselves need to continue to evolve. Key components to continuously evolving include:
- Understanding the role of Analytics
- Setting up metrics for strategic goals – including student success
- Analyzing metrics
- Creating actionable plans
- Evaluating those actions
Analytics Benefits are Worth the Work
In the end, making use of Analytics to achieve strategic goals takes effort. It is not an automatic process. The data requires action and commitment to produce the desired results. But it is encouraging to know that Analytics is a powerful tool available to institutions, and one that has the potential to create true change.

Investment Performance Commentary for the Year Ending June 30, 2008
Rochester's investment return for the long-term investment pool (primarily endowment) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, net of all fees and expenses, was approximately -0.1% compared to the benchmark return of -7.4% (comprised of 60% Wilshire 5000, 20% Lehman Aggregate and 20% ACWI ex-US).
Rochester's five-year average annual net return through June 30, 2008 was 12.4% vs. 9.6% for the benchmark. The ten-year average annual net return through June 30, 2008 was 9.2% vs. 4.7% for the benchmark.
The value of the long-term investment pool at the end of the fiscal year was $1.75 billion, $24 million below the value reported at the beginning of the year. The change in value was attributable to investment returns of -$5.6 million, gifts and additions of $71.4 million and spending and withdrawals of $90.0 million.
Asset Allocation and Performance
Major asset classes generated the following performances in fiscal year 2008:
- Domestic equity managers, representing 19% of the portfolio, returned -12.3% compared to -12.5% from the Wilshire 5000 benchmark.
- Domestic fixed income, representing 7% of the portfolio (net of the line of credit), returned 8.9%, compared to 7.1% from the Lehman Aggregate benchmark. Fixed income generated a return of 13.2% for the year when the impact of short term investments are excluded (short term investments generated a return of 5.8% for the year).
- International equities, representing 18% of the portfolio, returned -8.8% versus -6.6% from the ACWI ex-US benchmark. The benchmark for international equities was changed during the fiscal year from EAFE to ACWI ex-US. The return from the EAFE benchmark was -10.6% for the year.
- The alternative investment program, representing 56% of the portfolio, generated a net return of 6.6%. Hedge funds returned 4.9% (1.1% for absolute return funds and 13.9% for equity-oriented funds), private equity returned 9.6% and real assets returned 7.6%.
Rochester's return was generated through the efforts of many talented advisors, investment committee members, consultants and investment office staff. It is the consensus of these groups that, over time, the University of Rochester's targeted net nominal return of 8% per annum is achievable.

Victim to police: I was shot by gun I had sold; Mass. man arraigned in Manchester shootingStaff Report
August 05. 2013 11:34PM
MANCHESTER — A Massachusetts man is being held on $300,000 cash/surety bail, accused of shooting another man in the face at an Orange Street apartment.
The victim told police he had sold the gun to Richard Scott, 33, a few weeks before the July 26 shooting.
Scott was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on an attempted murder charge.
Court documents show that Scott, of Dorchester, who initially identified himself to police as Kevin Davis, 42, was arrested at a Nashua residence.
He is accused of shooting Terrance Jackson, 20, who was staying in an apartment at 145 Orange St.
A few days after the shooting, Jackson told a Union Leader reporter that he was from the Bronx and was apartment-sitting for a friend on vacation.
He told police he had known the accused shooter for about a year, having been introduced to the man he knew as "Jay" by a mutual friend.
Jackson told police a Hispanic woman named DeeDee was with him when Scott arrived about 6:30 on the morning of July 26, but fled the apartment, jumping out a bathroom window when Scott pulled out a handgun and waved it around, asking: "Where's my money?"
According to the affidavit filed in support of Scott's arrest, Scott believed Jackson owed him $600, but Jackson told police it was about $20.
Jackson said Scott put the gun away temporarily when a woman knocked at the door and entered the apartment, going into a bedroom with Scott, who Jackson believed was selling her drugs.
As that woman left, another woman knocked at the back door, a woman Jackson told police was Scott's current girlfriend.
She asked Scott if he was ready to leave.
Jackson told police that Scott said yes, the woman left and Scott again pulled the gun from his waistband and pointed it at him. Jackson said he charged Scott, who fired at him, saying: "Take this." The bullet struck Jackson in the chin, breaking his jaw, and lodged in his collarbone.
According to the affidavit, Jackson said Scott tried to shoot again, but the gun did not fire and Scott left.
Jackson told police he knew the gun was a semi-automatic .380 because he had sold the gun to Scott three weeks earlier for $320.
Jackson said he had traded the gun for drugs, but did not provide information on the source of the gun.
He did give a description of Scott, including that he had a facial scar resulting from being shot in the face.
Court documents show that when police spoke with Jackson at Elliot Hospital July 30, he gave them additional information — that one of Scott's tattoos included the name of a son, Jayden, and that Scott's girlfriend might live in Nashua.
That, plus an anonymous tip, let police to a Cushing Street apartment in Nashua, where a man fitting the description of the shooter identified himself as Kevin Davis, but said he did not have a photo ID.
According to court documents, a woman at the apartment identified the man as Richard Scott, her boyfriend.
Scott was arrested.
Police learned he was wanted in Nashua for failure to pay a fine on a 2012 driving while intoxicated conviction.
A January charge for public urination alongside Interstate 93 listed a Manchester address on Green Street.
Scott could enter no plea Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to the felony charge of attempted murder.
A probable cause hearing was set for Aug. 15.

Greek Orthodox Archbishop: We are united with Muslim brothers in face of Israeli attacks
SHAFAQNA - Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia Atallah Hanna visited Wednesday morning the Jerusalemite youths who were injured over the past three days while trying to prevent Israeli settlers and forces' break-ins into al-Aqsa mosque.
During a press conference held shortly after his visit to Makassed Hospital, Archbishop Hanna denounced Israeli escalated attacks on al-Aqsa Mosque and sit-inners.
He stressed the urgent need for a real action in defense of al-Aqsa Mosque and holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
Christians in occupied Jerusalem express total rejection of the Israeli escalation in the city against Muslims' holy shrines, he said.
Israel's escalation, according to him, could only strengthen "our steadfastness, determination, and rejection to its unfair practices".
"We, as Christians, share the same pain and sorrow as our Muslim brothers in occupied Jerusalem", he continued. "Al-Aqsa Mosque is the main issue for all the Palestinian people, Christians and Muslims.â€
He concluded by hailing the heroic steadfastness of those who sacrificed their lives in defense of al-Aqsa Mosque.

- What is your RAM brand and model?
In the meantime I would like to recommend a couple of suggestions in order to isolate this matter;
- Is there any chance you can test a different HDMI cable?
- Can you test the DP port and check if the issue persists?
One more thing in regard to the the USB to HDMI cable, Intel recommends straight connections in order to ensure the communication between the components. So, that cable might and might not work but hopefully with the information requested we can address this matter.
2. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 13, 2017 8:13 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)
Hi Amy,
Thanks for your message.
This morning when I went to look at the NUC, the ping from another machine showed "Request timed out" -- So I went to the NUC and I noticed the power button/light was flashing. Thinking it was in standby, I pushed the button and now the button is on but the screen is blank and it's not responding to any pings.
Yesterday, when we were watching something, the screen would appear to flicker, cut out for a second, then come back on. It did this about 6-7 times with the longest blank screen/no sound lasting about 5 seconds and then would come back on.
So right now, I cannot answer the questions because the machine is unusable (no remote desktop, nothing on the screen)
I will go do a hard shutdown on it as it appears that is the only way to awaken it.
(after reset)
Machine is now pingagle am i'm to remote-desktop in.
The answers to your questions
1) Intell HD Graphics 6000 - Driver version 10.18.14.4251 - Date 7/7/2015
2) BIOS Version (Just updated yesterday) is
3) The HDMI cable is a generic one but I have tried multiple. It used to work before flawlessly but now seems to be encountering issues.
4) 4GB of DDR3
Lastly, How can I "test the DP" port. Am I not using the Display Port to show the image on the screen?
3. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 14, 2017 8:55 AM (in response to nada1)
If it helps, alongside the random flicker and completely blank display (seems to just hang) when the PC is left unused for 60 minutes (Sleep timer) it goes to sleep and the blue power button flashes.
If I press the button, the button stops flashing and goes to solid but nothing on the screen.
No network connectivity either (no ping)
No remote desktop
It's as if it just froze.
Not sure if the flicker and random turn off is the same issue as the sleep issue.

Thanks for this new piece of information.
Thanks to your information, I believe I found the source of these issues. Your RAM modules are not compatible with the unit, 1.5 V DDR3 memory modules are not supported. So, I just want to know; is there any chance you can test your Intel® NUC with this type of memory DDR3L-1333/1600 1.35V SO-DIMM?
I would also like to share with you the following information regarding the system memory for this unit; System Memory for Intel® NUC Kit NUC5i3RY/NUC5i5RY, over there you will find some part numbers that had been officially validate to work with this Intel® NUC.
5. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 15, 2017 1:18 AM (in response to nada1)
6. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)Mar 15, 2017 1:47 PM (in response to nada1)
Thank you for that picture.
I searched the part number on your second post and it came as DDR3 1.5V, now your pictures showed a different part number that came as DDR3L 1.35V. By any chance, do you have the RAM box? Can you confirm the part number with a different software? Our Download Intel® System Support Utility checks for this information, so please attach the file in order to confirm this.
To attach a file, you must click "Use Advanced Editor" in the top right corner of the response box, then the "attach" option will appear in the bottom right corner of the response box.
7. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 15, 2017 11:39 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)
I do not have the box. I only know that I went to the store and asked for KVR16LS11/4 and was given this. The sticker shows 1.35V
here is the requested output of the intel diagnostic tool.
Are these lack of wake-up after standby, flickering video output and complete hanging of the box related to memory voltage?
Nuci5.xml.zip 5.0 K
8. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)Mar 16, 2017 4:10 PM (in response to nada1)
nada1, thanks for the file.
In your report, the part number is 99U5469-051.A00LF, and if I search for this number I see places like this one;Kingston 9905428-051.A00LF 8GB (2X4gb) DDR3 1333MHZ Sodimm-lenovo 2 | eBay, where the memory is specified as DDR3 1.5V. l just want to know; is there any chance you can get in contact with the store were you bought the RAM?
Yes, in this case I suspect this could be related to the memory voltage.
You can check the part number in the memory details.
9. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 16, 2017 7:39 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)
the link you provided is for the wrong part number.
My sticker shows 1.35V, the part number is 99U5469-051.A00LF
The ebay link you gave is for someone selling 9905428-051.A00LF. The difference is the 3rd character
I can get in touch with the store but they will say the stick says 1.35V and to contact the manufacturer. Which I have an open case with Kingston. They said the part number indicates 1.35V but I have aksed them to check based on serial number and waiting their reply.
Is there any other troubleshooting you'd like to check Amy.
For example, wouldn't it be wise to look at the Windows logs, hardware events ?
10. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 17, 2017 2:32 AM (in response to nada1)
I've spoken to Kingston and they insist the memory I have is 1.35V.
So, what is our next step. The sysetm is basically unusable as it stands.
11. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)Mar 17, 2017 11:22 AM (in response to nada1)
Well, thank you very much for clarifying that information.
The SSU report you provided has some important information, so with this I will be able to check that and provide more steps.
You currently have the latest Intel® HD Graphics driver, and the latest BIOS version. So, now we will need to focus on the hardware, see below for some suggestions;
Can you test the other video port?
Is it possible for you to test a different RAM stick?
12. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 17, 2017 9:50 PM (in response to Intel Corporation)
Hello Amy,
I'm glad the SSU has provided important information. Is there nothing you need from the windows support logs to see why the system freezes or doesn't come back from sleep or is that all contained in that SSU utilitiy?
Which step do you recommend that I test first. The other video port or a different RAM stick.
Both of these test options are going to cost me money so would like to know which one to target first.
13. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)nada1 Mar 19, 2017 11:30 PM (in response to nada1)
Hi Amy,
Can you advise on the next steps that I should be doing.
I now have a display port adater to HDMI and not using the mini HDMI. Problem still persists (doesn't awake from sleep, no network response and blank screen)
As I wrote above, the system was in a working state before (i normally kept it off) but now that some family members are using it more often, they are advising the screen hangs with video and the total system freeze occuring. Basically, the system is unusable.
14. Re: NUC i5 with display going blank (NUC5i5RYH)Mar 20, 2017 3:31 PM (in response to nada1)
nada1, thank you for trying my suggestion and getting that cable.
Please let me review your thread, I will update this as soon as possible.

The year of 1871
She looked eastward for a long time as the sun painted her old country orange with it's last rays of light. Scandinavia was more and more becoming a thin jagged line on the horizon as the boat steamed westward.
She then turned her head towards the bow, the setting sun and the greatest adventure ever. Over there. America. Her heart raced with both hope and fear at the same time.
As she brushed her long blond hair from her blue eyes she suddenly realised that she wasn't fröken Andersson no more.
She was Miss Anderson.

Having heard for years that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, I was quiet aware of the fact that post marriage I'm gonna have quiet a tough time. Having fallen deeply in love, I was super motivated to do every thing possible and leave no stone unturned in winning my man's heart.
All motivations at one side, but cooking and handling kitchen was quiet a tough battle with least war skills at dispose. And my husband being a great food lover was the next big challenge. Started our married life at our new home, far from our families; and there I was standing in the middle of my battlefield. I started with a halwa as it is known that a bride's first cook has to be a sweet-dish. So far it went well. Well then and there started the real clinch, the meal times.
I was totally zero with dough knitting skills but I attempted and succeeded to an extent, though you can say the dough was more of stony character and so were the rotis quiet tough to chew and swallow. With a few months, no actually a whole year and few months gone, with inelastic doughs and such rotis and occassionally burnt sabzis, I have finally learnt to knit decently, making puffed soft rotis and delicious recipes. People around me, my husband, my mom and my younger brother specially are surprised daily with now pro I have turned in just 2 years of my marriage.
What my mother could not make my do for those long and lazy 22 years, love of my life made me do in just 2 years. Beginning with the frowny expression on my husband's face asking do I really need to eat it, I have come to the point where he loves my food and call me his master-chef.
Inspired by the thought of winning my man's heart, today I strive to serve him a different recipe every other day. To surprise him, to make him happy and have the whole platter finished with a content and delighted smile on his face. I learn some thing about cooking every day and I'm loving it.

TOPOI Summerschool 2011 – Excavation "Ostia Antica"
TOPOI Summerschool 2011 – Ostia Antica auf einer größeren Karte anzeigen
27. August – 25. September 2011
Training Excavation SS2011
as part of the "TOPOI-Summerschool 2011",
a sub-project of the "BKO Excavations (Berlin-Kent-Ostia)" in the Forum of Ostia Antica under the direction of PD Dr. Axel Gering (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) under the auspices of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Ostia directed by Prof. A. Pellegrino) from 18. – 22.07.11 (introduction week in Berlin) and 29.08. – 23.09.11 (excavation in Ostia Antica – Main Forum).
Head of the sub-project and contact: Undine Lieberwirth M.A. (EXC TOPOI).
You can find a detailed description of the excavation's aims here.
Journey to Ostia Antica
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
Early in the grey morning of Berlin, shortly after 8am we started our long roadtrip to Italy. After we picked up the last member of our group in Leipzig and bought some archaeological equipment that was needed, we reduced the breaks to the absolute necessary ones, heading towards Innsbruck. When we finally got there, around 6pm where the greatest and most friendly people of the world gave us a warm welcome, an absolutely awesome dinner (Pasta and also Strudel for dessert) and a Sightseeing Tour – some whine and cacao later we managed it to catch some sleep.
The breakfast was as perfect as the whole time there, but we had to leave knowing that there are almost 800km to go to Ostia Antica. But before we even started our tour towards Rome we had to visit somebody else, an old man we all have heard so much about – Ötzi. It was totally astonishing, even though we've all seen a lot of pictures of this old man, it was really awesome to actually see the mummy and the museum is really well organized. So – if you ever have the possibility to go to Bozen (Museum of Archaeology of South Tyrol), do it! But as already mentioned, we where in a hurry. About an hour and a drivers change later we where back on the road again. Long story short – at 20:39 we arrived at our temporary home, visited the other archaeologists we will see in the field again tomorrow, drank some local wine, tried to tetris all the stuff we brought with us in our mobilehome and talked about our plans tomorrow. Yup. Busybusy day. But who needs sleep anyways?
Trip to Rome [2nd September]
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
Getting up at 4:30am after working the whole week worked surprisingly well, even though we knew that its a long way to the train station in the dark with the big equipment case. After a short trip with by train we entered the Forum Romanum and climbed up to the temple of Venus where the geophysicists wanted to fly a kite due to the purpose of being able to take top view pictures of the columns (N).
Unfortunately there was just no wind, all calm still after an hour we decided to wait. Attempts to convince the museum employee came to nothing. But at least we were able to visit the whole forum for free which take us a few hours.It was absolutely amazing that we had a classical archaeologist with us who threw some facts, worth that we starved like hell in the end. So it was about time for the first of many breaks to come. As an impression we went to the Pantheon, ate icecream, saw the Hadrians column, Fountain of the Four Rivers, an exhibition of air crafts, a lot of cafes and restaurants, the Bocca della Verità (mouth of truth), the Trevi Fountain, Circus Maximus and the list goes on. Understandable we were awfully tired after the trip when we were back at home around 7pm. But we finished the day with good pasta and a short cool off in the pool.
Excavation – a Summary after a week
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
Actually its going pretty well. The standard problems of the technique just lasted for the first days and after that we brought routine to the work flow surprisingly fast, although its just the four of us and we have to carry and keep in mind a lot of stuff.
So far we measured all the points we need for the excavation with the Tachymeter and the targets for the Laserscanner, created a general plan for the site and created a 3D model of the western Porticus (near the main Forum) our two sections are in. The geophysicists did there Radar Scan of the sections, but we decided not to look upon their results so that the excavation will be impartial. The Octocopter flight succeed after the third try. All things considered we should be and we are quite satisfied.
Second Week of excavation
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
Team two arrived at Sunday and got directly from the airport to the excavationplace to start working, advised by team one.
HP left us and we could stand the fact just because we know that we will see him again in Berlin. We cant thank him enough for the great and funny company and for all the knowledge he passed through the awesome talks in the evening.Also the results of the Octocopter flights are amazing and we cant wait to see the rest of the photogrammetry models that haven't been processed yet.
Trip to Naples – Pompeii
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
As early as always we packed our things together to make our way to Pompeii soon enough to visit the huge site. Luckily our driver stayed awake and with just one break we found ourselves almost instantly at the bottom of vesuvius, facing Pompeii. For being Archaeologists some of our group got in for free, but after some negotiation. We agreed for taking Audio Guides instead of a tour guide and looking back that was a good decision, because after the main forum the group slitted and everybody explored the ancient city on their own.
After meeting some hours later we figured that nobody has seen every-everything but we were all deeply impressed but also hungry and exhausted. So we drove to the Vesuvian Institute where food and beds were waiting for us.
So far so good. But the way up the hill was more difficult than expected, understated friendly spoken – we got the feeling that there would have been a lot of possible accidents in some alternate reality but luckily everyone stayed unharmed in the weird Naples traffic and the people were awkwardly friendly although it took a while to recognize that they wanted to help us instead of being mad (because Mario blocked the whole street) – must have been the language. So when we finally arrived at the Vesuvian Institute the 3course menu was about to be served. Awesome!
Trip to Napels – Stabiae
Text & Photographs by Juliane Bonneß
We slept like logs and had a simple but good breakfast although the coffee was awful, but fortunately there were alternatives, so that we had some when we met our tour guide, an archaeologist who works for the Vesuvian Institute, also lives there and knows Stabiae pretty well . He agreed to show us the site., so basically the huge villas (San Marco and Arianna), just a part of what the city was like in roman times.
The rest hasn't been excavated for different reason, but we got a good impression that there is still so much to discover, so much work to be done for the next years and way beyond, although its amazing what these guys already accomplished.Walking through the villas one can easy imagine how it was like centuries ago when only the richest of the richest roman citizens could afford to put up such buildings. Thus the place is not as crowded as Pompeii we could take our time to look at every detail and ask all the questions. We learned a lot about the different styles and our guide was gorgeous.
Time was too short to visit the Herculaneum or the National ArchaeologicalMuseum of Naples as we originally wanted to, so we decided to go back to home sweet home Ostia. Bernhard, whom we worked together with the last week( to learn something about a different photogrammetry method) left in a hurry, so that we weren't able to say good bye, but we'll meet again in Berlin. So… the wonderful weekend is over, lets see how next week goes.
The TEAM- Introduction
Text by Lilli Janotte
As already mentioned in the introduction we aim for the most effective, feasible and cheap way to document an excavation.
The methods we examine are quite interdisciplinary and we had several experts who worked with us and collected data. Now it's time to list our cooperation partners.
During the first week of excavation two geophysicists Rudi and Burkart from "eastern atlas" analysed the soil structure:
Also Hape from Topoi spent a week in Ostia Antica in order to create a spatial picture of the excavation site. He works with an "octocopter"- an aerial drone that takes pictures while it is flying. On the 4th of September he gave a presentation about this special method.
The work of Bernie is similar to Hape's but instead of flying a drone he takes pictures by hand. He is a Ph.D student and also a member of Topoi. He gave us input on the 6th of September right after Undine told us about Topoi and the aims of "TOPOI-Summerschool 2011".
The –so far- last presentation was held by Chris, a student from the University of Leipzig, on the 7th of September. He prepared a workshop on "Harris Matrix". Interesting to see what difficulties also the "old hands" had… 😉
Excavation- update! 😉
Text by Lilli Janotte
After four respectively three weeks of excavation today is our last day at the site. There are a lot things to do in order to prepare the departure. But more about this later.
Last week we tried to optimize the work flow. It got better and better the more we got used to the instruments but there were still these gaps when almost the whole team had nothing to do. So we ended up opening a new grid to work on if nothing else was to do. It turned out that this grid was quite interesting.
At the end of the week we received another visitor: an archaeologist from Jordan who wants to gain experience with the laser scanner.
The hole weekend was leisure time and most of us spent our time on visiting Rome. It was marvelous.
This week we just scraped off the last layers and had some nice finds. Kiki found a ring of bronze- probably- in grid 2, in grid 3 we discoverd some fine pottery and the team of grid 1 wonders at some wall structures.
So we are all rather busy, thinking about Harris Matrices and false measuring points.

Sonic Unleashed Preview
To that end, this is a Sonic-focused game. Other unspecified characters will be present, but you will only assume control of them for short periods of time.
Of course, after berating a Sega representative, it was revealed that there will still be a Sonic Adventure-esque town area. Players will be talking to other characters, and getting through some kind of story. Sega stressed repeatedly that this portion of the game will be entirely optional, with a portal transporting players to the stage sections.
There will also be nighttime levels, separate from the daytime excursions. These will be focused on combat over platforming, presumably where Sonic undergoes that werewolf transformation that Sega's hinted at. Like the town area, details on this portion of the game will be released later on.
And the rest? Imagine Sonic Adventure's action stages, but with a little more variety.
We first got a look at the bright beachy level from the trailer, which Sega noted was around 80% complete. Using the Hedgehog engine, which has been in development at Sega Japan since 2005, the game looks sharp running on Xbox 360, with some impressive motion blur effects. A few framerate problems popped up here and there, but considering the early state, it ran at a pretty good clip.
The engine was built to support fast switches between 2D and 3D, and these were employed generously during gameplay. Much of the racing takes place from the classic 2D view, with players jumping on springs, moving platforms, and other Sonic standards.
New to the series is a Ring Energy meter, which increases as Sonic picks up rings. The more rings within a shorter time span, the faster it grows, finally reaching the maximum. This triggers a Sonic Boost, which sees Sonic plowing through enemies at high velocity.
Most of the interesting mechanics came into play with the switch to the classic behind-the-hedgehog view, which is changed automatically depending on the section of the level. Players will be able to execute a Sonic Drift in this view, acting a bit like a Mario Kart slide for cornering. There is also a Quick Step move, which has Sonic juking to the left or right by way of the right or left bumper controls. Registered users can use the HD Stream.
Levels will have multiple points of diversion, the particular one we were being shown having around 15 separate branches. Racing along in the over-the-shoulder view, players will be met with a choice of several pathways. A meter will quickly tick down, with three available choices--corresponding to face buttons on the controller that you must press--winking out the longer you take to decide. In other situations, the game will simply allow you to run left or right.
We were then shown a European level, complete with a giant Big Ben-esque clock face that Sonic spun around. There will be seven or more of these environments, with multiple stages for each.
While I have fond memories of many games in the series, in truth, I've never been a huge fan of Sonic gameplay. I love the speed, but the faster you seem to travel, the less control you have. The developers have added the aforementioned drift and quick-step features in an effort to alleviate this issue. There are also a few more traditional platforming sections, with levitating platforms, wall-jump shafts, and other typical Sonic scenarios.
Still, there were more than enough sequences where Sonic seemed out of control, totally on rails as he spun in a loop-de-loop or zipped around corners. These were my least favorite moments of the Sonic Adventures, the points where I felt I was watching a Sonic cutscene rather than actually playing a game. There were also plenty of literal on-rail sections, Sonic gliding down long steel rails on his feet, which seemed dreadfully boring. And then I noticed a few "Quick Time Event"-like moments, where a fast press of a particular button was necessary to avoid failure.
However, even given these potentially troubling elements, Unleashed is clearly a step in the right direction for the series. Exactly how many steps, though, remains to be seen.
Sonic Unleashed is slated to release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii later this year. Check back in around E3 time for more details.

CHESSER Chemicals has halved the time it takes to fill its containers of liquid cleaning chemicals and detergents that it formulates and, on top of that, has made major gains with OH&S matters.
The big improvements at the Adelaide-based factory follow the installation of new Flex Pack container filling equipment.
As a manufacturer of a wide range of liquid detergents, disinfectants, solvents and cleaning products, Chesser Chemicals supplies the commercial and industrial markets with a wide range of different size containers, as well as offering a contract packing service.
Operations director Larry Cavallaro said when the time came to acquire the new filling system, Chesser turned to Flex Pack.
"We have dealt with Flex Pack before and because of the reliability of their equipment we decided to stay with Flex Pack.
"The Flex Pack filler has given us a big advantage. For example, one of our typical tasks, that of filling a batch of 25-litre drums, our standard time has come down from approximately 160 minutes to around 40 minutes, depending on the viscosity of the liquid.
"Although we haven't cut down on staff, we now have far less overtime, so the savings go straight to the bottom line,"he said.
"And, we are using the filler unit for a very wide range of detergents and sanitisers. Aggressive chemicals, such chlorine based solutions, are not a problem either."
The other big advantage to which Larry points, is that staff are no longer lifting heavy containers.
Instead, empty containers are placed on a pallet and filled, then another layer of containers is stacked on top by hand and those containers are filled, ready for the forklift to move the pallet to storage.
The long reach that can be achieved with the counter balanced boom, which pivots 180 degrees, and enables the unit to work with more than one pallet at any one time, in fact up to three or four pallets.
"Some of our detergents can foam up when filling the containers, but the long neck on the fill head enables it to reach to the bottom of the biggest containers and bottom fill, thus preventing foaming.
"Altering the volume, for filling different size containers is quick for us . . . this takes less than a minute, and it only takes a few minutes to change the head when we need to fill 200-litre drums.
"Another thing that has turned out well is the accuracy of the unit. The South Australian Government's Weights and Measures Department said we are one of the best they have seen in terms of accuracy.
"This high level of accuracy is especially pleasing for companies that use our contract formulation and packing service.
"We are now well in front on the two big issues - productivity and O.H.&S. And, as well as that, we don't have to worry about accuracy."
The Flex Pack filler has a standard fill range of 0.5 to 1,000 litres and a two speed fill system (up to 3 litres per second, depending on product characteristics) with a batch accuracy of typically 0.5%, often better!
It is designed to be compatible with Clean in Place systems.
Virtually any liquid can be handled - a wide range of chemicals such as detergents, disinfectants and pool chemicals as well as cooking oils and food service products.

Wonder Woman #21: Flesh and Stone
(Some minor spoilers for Wonder Woman #21 follow)
Wonder Woman leaps to the defense of her friends and family, and a villain defies the laws of science fiction physics in his relentless attack. The First One has caught up with Wonder Woman, and he wants to bring the world to an end. He needs Zola's son Zeke – the last born. The battle between Zeus children accelerates.
Reading through the actions scenes is like being swept up in an orange and red-yellow lightening storm. The First One towers over the other cast, and he makes this fight terr0r-streaked with his brute force.
Orion swoops in to help out. He, Lennox (another of Zeus' kids), and Wonder Woman try for an escape through a portal in space. The First one proves too powerful, however, as he grasps the closing portal, and holds it open – a feat that should be impossible.
Orion opens a portal called a "boom tube". It's technology from his home dimension – New Genesis. The artwork as the characters travel through the boom tube is incredible. Blurred red and blue lines create a visual effect inside the wormhole tunnel that vibrates – it's like the older red and blue 3D effects. Lettering during the action scenes is powerful, and evokes a deeper sense of action, which is further enhanced by the expert colouring.
Wonder Woman defends Hera from The First One, who slaps Hera off panel. She responds to his violence: "judging by what I saw…you have this coming". She then wastes no time in fighting The First One off. Her actions raise ideas about protecting elders, women, and children from violence.
Orion fights for different reasons. He has a mission and is ruthless. Wonder Woman states that he fights "like an animal". This shows the difference between Wonder Woman and other brawlers in comic books. She fights to protect, and does not use excessive violence.
Ethics and Values
Wonder Woman's actions prompt questions: is violence an acceptable response to protect those in danger? Or does more violence just extend a cycle of fighting?
Despite being an action fueled comic book, Wonder Woman #21 makes a statement about violence toward elders, woman, and children – under no circumstance should it be tolerated. Orion even states, when attacking The First One "you've made a huge mistake".
The characters in the comic book certainly don't fit with pure, non-violent philosophies, and are an example of the ongoing problem of using violence to stop violence – particularly Orion. But the comic itself stands up as critical of larger problems in our society.
Wonder Woman #21 could align with the third principal of non-violence written by Martin Luther King Jr in his first book, Stride Toward Freedom: "attack forces of evil, not persons doing evil" is the third of six principals. The comic attacks tolerance of violence. The comic also judges the perpetrators of violence – they are as misguided as the villain, The First One, who lets his past trauma dictate his actions as an adult.
Cassandra, who allows The First One to strike Hera without comment, also lets her past influence her choices. Cassandra lets The First One threaten Hera – bystanders who let violence happen are therefore also making a mistake.
A bit more on Wonder Woman #21
Historically, Wonder Woman has had key moments of being a role model. I think that her defense of Zolo, Hera, and the Baby Zeke show courage that can be looked up to.

Some of the most important works of art from Africa—many never seen outside of Africa and Europe—were on view at the Kimbell Art Museum in the exhibition Hidden Treasures from Tervuren: Masterpieces from the Royal Museum for Central Africa.
The Tervuren Museum is renowned not only for the outstanding wealth of its encyclopedic collections but for the venerable age of many of its objects. Most date from 1890 to 1940, when these masks and sculptures were still in use; for a large number of the oldest pieces, the exact date and place of origin are known.
Some 125 Central African works selected from the galleries and storerooms of the Tervuren Museum were displayed in this international traveling exhibition. They included several large and complete Kongo "minkisi"—visually impressive figures that hold powerful medicines; objects of royal regalia—including stools, staffs, and containers—from the Luba peoples; a Buli workshop kneeling female figure, one of the first works of African art attributed to a particular artist; a figurative coffin from the Ntomba peoples; a variety of masks, ranging from naturalistic white-faced Kongo diviner's masks to striated Luba and Songye masks; and figures representing kings and chiefs.
The Royal Museum for Central Africa, commonly known as the Tervuren Museum, was founded in 1897–98 by King Leopold II of Belgium to promote commercial and public interest in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Administered as the private property of the Belgian king, this territory became the official Belgian colony of Congo in 1908 and an independent nation in 1960. The museum's collection of more that 250,000 objects—considered the world's greatest collection of Central African art—has shaped perceptions of African art; it includes works collected by company and government officials and by missionaries. From the beginning, Tervuren sent scientific expeditions to Central Africa, and the museum became the primary center for Central African research and collections, including all aspects of cultural anthropology—art, archaeology, linguistics, and music—and the natural sciences of botany, geology, and zoology.
A three-year international tour of these masterpieces, which marked the Tervuren's centenary, began in Ottawa and was on view at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, through October 19. After its showing at the Kimbell, the tour continued in San Francisco, New York, Saint Louis, Chicago, Düsseldorf, and Barcelona.
The exhibition was accompanied by a fully illustrated color catalogue, The Tervuren Museum: Masterpieces from Central Africa, published by Prestel (Munich and New York). The international tour was coordinated by the Tribal Art Centre in Basel, Switzerland. Promotional support of this exhibition was provided by Norwest Banks.

Introduction - Marriage and Family: The Missing Dimension
"Didn't the LORD make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union" (Malachi 2:15 New Living Translation).
Marriage and Family: The Spiritual Significance
To understand the spiritual significance of marriage and family, we must turn to God, our Creator, to learn what He had in mind in making the human race.
God's Instruction Manual for Marriage
Marriage is one of God's most wonderful gifts to mankind. It is a treasure worth working on, cherishing and sustaining. His instructions are as valid today as ever.
Dating Do's and Don'ts
Everyone knows that in most cultures dating is a prelude to marriage. But what many don't know is that how we date greatly influences the kind of marriage we will have. The way we conduct ourselves while dating is an excellent indicator of the commitment we will have to a future relationship and an indicator of the level of happiness we will enjoy.
Choose Your Love Story
God's beautiful picture of sexuality is for us to refrain from having sex until we are married and then to only enjoy sex with the person to whom we are married (1 Corinthians 6:18; Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery).
Handling Those Touchy Situations
To help you establish godly standards, consider the following advice given by a panel of young Christians between the ages of 20 and 30.
What to Say When Things Are Going Too Far
Here's some examples of things to say when your relationship is going to far.
Popular Sexual Myths
Given all the confusion that exists today regarding sex, it's important for us to understand some of the most common but mistaken ideas about this subject.
At What Age Should We Marry?
The Bible does not indicate that there is a specific age at which it suddenly becomes appropriate for us to marry.
Is Homosexuality Acceptable to God?
The acceptance of homosexuality as an equally valid lifestyle is rapidly growing in Western culture. Yet God tells us that sex was designed for only one relationship—within marriage, exclusively between a man and a woman.
Men's and Women's Vulnerabilities
When it comes to temptations to have sex, men and women, in general, face different challenges.
What If You've Made a Mistake?
When it comes to sex, people make mistakes—both premarital and extramarital. The biblical way to cleanse one's conscience is to repent—that is, stop breaking God's law.
Is Abortion the Answer to Unwanted Pregnancy?
Many people today consider abortion to be a woman's right to control her body—specifically her reproductive rights. What does the Bible say?
Divorce-Proof Your Marriage
Because so many marriages—particularly in modern Western countries—end in failure, couples trying to live godly lives and make their relationships last will look for ways to protect and preserve their marriages.
The Different Kinds of Love Mentioned in the Bible
The Greek language in which the New Testament was written uses several words translated "love." The first two listed below are found in the New Testament. Understanding their meanings helps us better comprehend God's expectations of us.
Was Sex Intended Solely for Procreation?
Does the Bible prohibit sexual relations within marriage purely for pleasure?
Our Children: Gifts of God in a Hostile Environment
The Bible tells us that children are a blessing from God, and most couples readily welcome them into their families. Human reproduction is one of life's most treasured and memorable experiences. Consider how God intended for this beautiful event to transpire.
The Epidemic of Missing Fathers
Dr. Wade Horn, assistant secretary for children and families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, addressed the connections between fatherlessness and criminal behavior in a 2002 speech.
Bringing Up a Moral Child
Many parents, including single parents, are raising well-adjusted, moral children who successfully enter adulthood. Why are these families successful when so many others are not?
Measuring Influence on Our Children
While parents have the opportunity to be the greatest influence on their children's lives, this doesn't always happen.
Proverbs and Proper Training
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Discipline With Encouragement
Discipline with encouragement may seem like an oxymoron. How could discipline possibly be encouraging? Isn't it always painful and depressing?
Sibling Rivalry
How can sibling rivalry be minimized?
Single-Parenting Success
Is it possible to successfully raise godly children even as a single parent?
The Value of Consequences
Should chilldren be held responsible for bad choices or decisions?
Creating Quality Time
It's important to set aside quality time to spend with your children.
The Seasons of Parenting
There are three seasons in raising children, and one final season that is our goal. Each season is a phase where a child needs a certain type of parenting.
Personality Differences and Temperament
Because each child is a unique human being in terms of the way he or she thinks and acts, parents often wonder whether these differences should affect their parenting.
A Foretaste of Tomorrow
The desire for a happy, lasting marriage blessed with children who grow up to be successful, morally responsible adults is truly the universal dream.

An interview by Raamesh Gowri Raghavan
Haiku by Dr. Angelee Deodhar originally published in Mann Library's Daily Haiku, March 2013, reproduced by permission of the author.
Haiku has been as misunderstood around the world as it has been famous. To most, it is a 5-7-5 verse in 3 lines. In a series of interviews with haiku poets from India, I'd love to break the myth, and bring to you the depth and beauty of this form, expressed in just three lines.
I begin with Dr. Angelee Deodhar. An ophthalmologist by profession, her first passion has always been writing. A chance reading of Potpourri, the American poetry journal, brought her to haiku in 1989. Like a poet who finally found her calling, she took to it immediately. Besides haiku, she is also an exponent of the haibun – a form that brings together the experiential essay and the haiku into a symphony of emotions.
She has led from the front in translating the works of Japanese poets into Indian languages, and has promoted the development of the form in the Hindi language. Interspersed with the questions are Angelee's haiku (reproduced with her kind permission).
RGR: What made you think haiku was your calling? How were your initial years writing haiku? You state in your interview with contemporary haiku master Robert D. Wilson (Simply Haiku, Winter 2006, vol 4 no 4) that you struggled with the perception among Indian writers that it was no more than a 3-line poem, ignoring its unique semantic construct, objectivity, and sense of the moment?
AD: I had never heard of haiku till I was in a hospital bed in 1989-1990. So if it was a 'calling' I certainly didn't know it existed. I was familiar with English language poetry and had written longer poems and short stories, but then I discovered haiku – It was love at first read and that affair has continued.
I wrote to the Japanese Embassy in Delhi to get an idea of what haiku was. They Xerox-ed a couple of pages in which I found Mr. William J. Higginsons' address and wrote to him. He very kindly sent me a signed copy of his Haiku Handbook. Then I got a copy of Lucien Stryks book 'A cage of fireflies' as a gift from my husband. Many months later I was fortunate to come across Ms. Liz Fenn who ran an international haiku library (at the Haiku Conservatory, USA) from which one could borrow a book, read it, and send it back by post. She was very kind to me and sent me several books free of cost. I studied from them, noting down passages and haiku and then sent the book back.
Meanwhile, I tentatively started sending out my three liners to various journals. Those days one had to correspond by snail mail and send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) and wait for several weeks for a reply. Here I would like to mention several editors who published my work: Patrick Frank of Point Judith Light, David Priebe of Haiku Headlines, Ken C. Liebman of Frogpond, Robert Spiess of Modern Haiku and several others. There was no one in India whom I could turn to, write to or discuss anything as ELH was unheard of.
Then in 2000, came the World Haiku Festival organized by Mr. Susumu Takiguchi in London and Oxford which is where I met a number of wonderful haijin from several countries. My haiku world blossomed and I heard of R.H. Blyth for the first time from Ms. Ikuyo Yoshimura. I met Jim Kacian, Max Verhart, Ion Codrescu,Visjna McMaster, Phillip D. Noble,the late Martin Lucas and several others. Still there weren't many books to consult. I bought one book here, one book there and added to my haiku library as best I could. Some haijin were kind enough to give me their books.
On my return from England, I met Prof. Satyabhushan Verma the exponent of haiku in Hindi, who had published several haiku in an inland format from 1979. Many Hindi haiku groups sprang up,subsequently, but the credit for the first haiku club in India goes to the Late Prof. Satyabhushan Verma and to think I knew nothing about Hindi haiku either! Such ignorance!

RGR: We all evolve in our writing, as we do in life. From 1989 to 2014, do you notice any changes in your writing style? Looking back at your early work, would you think of revising it now?
AD: In two and a half decades of learning about haiku I have understood one thing, that all writing is a lonely calling – to write a passable haiku one must be alone much – observe and respond from a felt depth. My earliest efforts were just pretty three liners and although the editors were kind enough to publish them, I feel they lack a lot.
I have never looked back to 'revise' an old haiku. I write spontaneously about what I see or feel, and work/rework that haiku till I find it works for me and catches the moment. I learn every day.

RGR: What is your haiku secret? What keeps you going, through the hundreds of haiku you've written. It's hard to choose one's 'best' haiku, but were I to force you to choose, which would it be?
AD: I don't know if there is a secret formula, but I try to live in the now of every waking moment. I listen, observe, interact and then respond with a haiku/haibun. I do not have any favourite haiku but I will share my jisei (death poem) with you
RGR: The environment has changed too – there are many more journals today, and haiku publishing (like all else) has moved from print to web. Has the resultant abundance of journals made it easier for people to write and publish haiku – or do you think it has led to compromises, as editors scramble to fill volumes within the deadlines?
AD: Yes, in the last couple of decades things have changed drastically, some for the better some for the worse.
Firstly, the web presence of haiku-related material has mushroomed, to say nothing of Facebook groups, personal blogs, etc. While this plethora of haiku-like material is available at a click to everyone, it has led to just about any short thing – one word, one line, two lines, or three lines — being passed off as a haiku. This is distressing.
Secondly, neophyte haijin are not responding to genuine experiences, but are writing desk-ku. Their absolute desperation to get on to any blog or site is obviously detrimental to the quality of the genre, which deserves deeper study and contemplation.
Thirdly, however, there are some fine, erudite free resources (too numerous to mention here) from which one can learn a lot. Online haiku, haibun and tanka journals are excellent places to learn from and the editors are trying their best to give a fair representation of the work they receive, most of which is very good. In that way present day haijin are very fortunate indeed. Still a book is a book… now Amazon, Flipkart etc are carrying haiku books which one can get easily.

RGR: Not content with being merely a masterful poet, you have made translation a mission of your literary career to translate ELH and Japanese haiku into Hindi. When did you conceive of this idea? Did you have any qualms and insecurities as you started on your journey?
AD: I wanted haijin writing in Hindi to understand the basic concepts of ELH, going beyond the 5-7-5 form, and hence the translations, the bilingual site of Haiku Sansaar and the English pages of Haiku Darpan.
As regards my jump into the bilingual haiku pond of translations, with my first book about Masaoka Shiki I was filled with trepidation. But it was favourably received specially by Hindi haijin even though the translations were not in the 5-7-5 pattern. I conceived of this idea in Ogaki, Japan when I met Ms. Minako Noma who had translated Shiki's haiku from Japanese to English. She very kindly arranged to get me the permission to translate Shiki's work into Hindi.
The funds for this book came from my aunt, a saadhvi and the credit for assistance in translations goes to my late husband Dr. Shridhar D. Deodhar who had excellent Hindi.

RGR: You have made publishing an act of selflessness – giving away precious works such as Ogura Hyakunin Isshu and The Distant Mountain to students who seek them. Why have you chosen not to profit from your work, even as many haijin in the West and Japan have opened successful haiku publishing houses?
AD: Since I had had a rough time trying to get books on haiku, I decided to make my six bilingual books available to everyone in India and abroad. Here again the generosity of finances and time given to my efforts in translation go to my husband and the secretarial work/editing to my son. I was given emotional support by a lot of haiku friends worldwide. I must mention the generosity of Jim Kacian who sent me a sack full of books which I shared with friends.

RGR: Looking back at your quarter century, what are the mistakes you made? What did you do that you would advise a beginner (like this interviewer) to not do?
AD: I would have liked to learn Japanese and also come to know about haiku in my school days. To this end I have tried my best to get haiku into the Indian school syllabus.
My advice for what its worth, would be to write every day, everywhere, about everything – a phrase, a fragment, a word and not worry about its publication. Read, read, read every day.
