More than 150 years ago, Asia's first train journey began quietly at Bori Bunder station in Mumbai on land claimed from the sea. That station has become the much feted heritage site Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. The financial capital has undergone a sea change in its architectural landscape, but the original structure has stayed the same.
Subuhi Jiwani's 20-minute documentary takes a trip through the interiors of the railway station that sees over 1,500 trains and six lakh passengers each day. Terminus: Stories of CST, produced by Sahapedia and Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation, also chronicles the stories of some of the 5,000 employees who keep the Central Railway network ticking. Jiwani follows the conventional documentary format and uses a concise voiceover of the site's long and fascinating history. A wealth of archival footage is used to bolster the narrative.
Jiwani interviews a range of people to ensure that her film is not "only the story of steel and stone". Chief Controller Ravi Gaikwad offers a fascinating fact: 330 people are required to start a single train. India's first diesel engine women driver Mumtaz Kazi begins her journey from CST and prays for every train in the world on each ride. Apart from the officials, the documentary also takes a trip to establishments near the railway terminus, such as Aaram Restaurant, which has fed generations of commuters over the years.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is one of the few living UNESCO World Heritage sites in more ways than one. Not only do Mumbai's multitudes walk through its interiors every single day, it has had cameos in numerous films. A flash of images in the documentary touch upon a fraction of these, from Slumdog Millionaire (2009) to Bunty Aur Babli (2005).
The film doesn't focus only on the station's architectural merits. There is a short section featuring the conservation architect Abha Narain Lambah and journalist and author Rajendra Aklekar, during which they shine a light on CST's conservation failures. Twenty minutes is too short a time to fully explore the station's fascinating stories. What we get is a reminder that Mumbai would be a poorer city if the railway administration was unable to maintain the structure.

Art Theft: One Of The Most Intriguing and Famous Cases in History
Art theft is an complicated and ancient criminal activity. When you look at the some of the most popular cases of art thefts in history, you see completely planned operations that include art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. Here you can check out about a few of the most popular cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:
The very first documented case of art theft was in 1473, when two panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were taken. While the triptych was being carried by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was attacked by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is shown at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
One Of The Most Famous Theft:
The most popular story of art theft involves among the most popular paintings on the planet and one of the most famous artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louver. Soon after, Pablo Picasso was apprehended and questioned by the authorities, but was released rapidly.
It turned out that the 30 × 21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum staff members by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who just brought it hidden under his coat. The crime was thoroughly conducted by a notorious con male, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who intended to make copies and offer them as if they were the original painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was busy developing copies for the well-known work of art, Mona Lisa was still concealed at Peruggias home. After 2 years in which Peruggia did not speak with Chaudron, he tried to make the best out of his taken great. Ultimately, Peruggia was caught by the police while attempting to offer the painting to an art dealership from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was returned to the Louver in 1913.
The Most significant Theft in the USA:
The most significant art theft in United States occurred at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On the night of March 18, 1990, a group of burglars using https://www.whitepages.com/name/Kurt-Criter/Denver-CO authorities uniforms burglarized the museum and took thirteen paintings whose cumulative worth was approximated https://medium.com/@kurtcriter at around 300 million dollars. The thieves took two paintings and one print by Rembrandt, and works of Vermeer, Manet, Degas, Govaert Flinck, as well as a French and a Chinese artifact.
As of yet, none of the paintings have been found and the case is still unsolved. According to recent reports, the FBI are examining the possibility that the Boston Mob in addition to French art dealerships are linked to the criminal offense.
The Scream:
The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is probably the most searched for painting by art burglars in history. It has actually been stolen twice and was just just recently recovered. In 1994, throughout the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, The Scream was stolen from an Oslo gallery by 2 thieves who broke through an open window, triggered the alarm and left a note saying: thanks for the poor security.
3 months later, the holders of the painting approached the Norwegian Federal government with an offer: 1 million dollars ransom for Edvard Munchs The Scream. The Federal government denied the offer, however the Norwegian police teamed up https://www.pinterest.com/kurtcriter/ with the British Authorities and the Getty Museum to organize a sting operation that revived the painting to where it belongs.
10 years later on, The Scream was stolen again from the Munch Museum. This time, the burglars used a weapon and took another of Munchs painting with them. While Museum officials awaiting the thieves to request ransom loan, rumors claimed that both paintings were burned to hide evidence. Ultimately, the Norwegian authorities found the two paintings on August 31, 2006 but the realities on how they were recovered are unknowned yet.
When you look at the some of the most popular cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that involve art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. The most well-known story of art theft involves one of the most well-known paintings in the world and one of the most well-known artists in history as a suspect. The criminal offense was thoroughly performed by a infamous con guy, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent out by an art faker who meant to make copies and sell them as if they were the original painting.
Ultimately, Peruggia was captured by the cops while attempting to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The painting by Edvard Munchs, The Scream, is most likely the most looked for after painting by art thieves in history.

2 Overview Cryptography Cryptographic Algorithms Encryption Symmetric-Key Algorithm Block and Stream Cipher Asymmetric Key Algorithm Hash Functions Digital Signature
3 Cryptography Has evolved into a complex science in the field of information security German Lorenz cipher machine
4 Cryptography Cryptography deals with creating documents that can be shared secretly over public communication channels Other terms closely associated Cryptanalysis (breaking an encoded data without the knowledge of the key) Cryptology (combination of cryptography and cryptanalysis) Cryptography is a function of plaintext and a cryptographic key C = F(P, k) Notation: Plaintext (P) Ciphertext (C) Cryptographic Key (k)
5 Crypto Algorithms specifies the mathematical transformation that is performed on data to encrypt/decrypt Crypto algorithm is NOT proprietary Analyzed by public community to show that there are no serious weaknesses Explicitly designed for encryption 5
6 Typical Scenario Alice wants to send a secret message to Bob What are the possible problems? Data can be intercepted What are the ways to intercept this message? How to conceal the message? Old algorithms such as the substitution cipher
7 Types of Cipher Substitution cipher involves replacing an alphabet with another character of the same alphabet set Can be mono-alphabetic (single set for substitution) or polyalphabetic system (multiple alphabetic sets) Example: Caesar cipher, a mono-alphabetic system in which each character is replaced by the third character in succession Vigenere cipher, a poly-alphabetic cipher that uses a 26x26 table of characters
8 Transposition Cipher No letters are replaced, they are just rearranged. Rail Fence Cipher another kind of transposition cipher in which the words are spelled out as if they were a rail fence.
9 Encryption process of transforming plaintext to ciphertext using a cryptographic key Used all around us In Application Layer used in secure , database sessions, and messaging In session layer using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) In the Network Layer using protocols such as IPSec Benefits of good encryption algorithm: Resistant to cryptographic attack They support variable and long key lengths and scalability They create an avalanche effect No export or import restrictions Two general types: Symmetric and Asymmetric
10 Encryption and Decryption Plaintext ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM Ciphertext DECRYPTION ALGORITHM Plaintext Encryption Key Decryption Key
11 Symmetric Key Algorithm Uses a single key to both encrypt and decrypt information Also known as a secret-key algorithm The key must be kept a secret to maintain security This key is also known as a private key Follows the more traditional form of cryptography with key lengths ranging from 40 to 256 bits. Examples of symmetric key algorithms: DES, 3DES, AES, IDEA, RC5, RC6, Blowfish
12 Symmetric Encryption Plaintext ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM Ciphertext DECRYPTION ALGORITHM Plaintext Encryption Key Decryption Key Shared Key Shared Key Symmetric Key Cryptography Same shared secret key
13 Symmetric Key Algorithm DES block cipher using shared key encryption, 56-bit 3DES (Triple DES) a block cipher that applies DES three times to each data block AES replacement for DES; it is the current standard IDEA RC4 variable-length key, stream cipher (generate stream from key, XOR with data) RC6 Blowfish
14 Symmetric Key Algorithm Symmetric Algorithm DES Triple DES (3DES) AES IDEA RC2 RC4 RC5 RC6 Blowfish Key Size 56-bit keys 112-bit and 168-bit keys 128, 192, and 256-bit keys 128-bit keys 40 and 64-bit keys 1 to 256-bit keys 0 to 2040-bit keys 128, 192, and 256-bit keys 32 to 448-bit keys Note: Longer keys are more difficult to crack, but more computationally expensive.
15 Block and Stream Cipher Block cipher takes a block of bits and encrypts them as a single unit operate on a pre-determined block of bits (one byte, one word, 512 bytes, so forth), mixing key data in with the message data in a variety of different ways. Stream cipher encrypts bits of the message at a time typically bit-wise. They either have a very long key (that eventually repeats) or a reusable key that generates a repeatable but seemingly random string of bits. They perform some operation (typically an exclusive OR) with one of these key bits and one of the message bits.
16 Block Cipher Transforms a fixed-length block of plain text into a block of ciphertext Works with data per block Common block ciphers: DES and 3DES (in ECB and CBC mode) Skipjack Blowfish RSA AES IDEA Secure and Fast Encryption Routing (SAFER)
17 Stream Cipher Use smaller units of plaintext than what are used with block ciphers. Typically work with bits Common stream ciphers: RC4 DES and 3DES (running OFB or CFB mode) Software encryption algorithm (SEAL)
18 Data Encryption Standard (DES) Developed by IBM for the US government in , and approved in Nov Based on Horst Feistel s Lucifer cipher block cipher using shared key encryption, 56-bit key length Block size: 64 bits
19 Triple DES 3DES (Triple DES) a block cipher that applies DES three times to each data block Uses a key bundle comprising of three DES keys (K1, K2, K3), each with 56 bits excluding parity. DES encrypts with K1, decrypts with K2, then encrypts with K3 Disadvantage: very slow C i = E K 3 (D K 2 (E K1 (P i )))
20 3DES: Illustration Plaintext ENCRYPT DECRYPT ENCRYPT Ciphertext Key 1 Key 2 Key 3 Note: If Key1 = Key2 = Key3, this is similar to DES Usually, Key1 = Key3
21 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Published in November 2001 Symmetric block cipher Has a fixed block size of 128 bits Has a key size of 128, 192, or 256 bits Based on Rijndael cipher which was developed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen Better suited for high-througput, low latency environments
22 Rivest Cipher RC Algorithm RC2 RC4 RC5 RC6 Description Variable key-sized cipher used as a drop in replacement for DES Variable key sized stream cipher; Often used in file encryption and secure communications (SSL) Variable block size and variable key length; uses 64-bit block size; Fast, replacement for DES Block cipher based on RC5, meets AES requirement
23 RC4 Most widely used stream cipher Popularly used in Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocols Although simple and fast, it is vulnerable and can lead to insecure systems
24 Block Cipher Modes Defines how the block cipher algorithm is applied to the data stream Four Basic Modes Electronic Code Book (ECB) Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Cipher Feedback (CFB) Output Feedback (OFB) 24
25 Asymmetric Key Algorithm Also called public-key cryptography Keep private key private Anyone can see public key separate keys for encryption and decryption (public and private key pairs) Examples of asymmetric key algorithms: RSA, DSA, Diffie-Hellman, El Gamal, Elliptic Curve and PKCS
26 Asymmetric Encryption Plaintext ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM Ciphertext DECRYPTION ALGORITHM Plaintext Encryption Key Decryption Key Public Key Private Key Asymmetric Key Cryptography Different keys
27 Asymmetric Key Algorithm RSA the first and still most common implementation DSA specified in NIST s Digital Signature Standard (DSS), provides digital signature capability for authentication of messages Diffie-Hellman used for secret key exchange only, and not for authentication or digital signature ElGamal similar to Diffie-Hellman and used for key exchange PKCS set of interoperable standards and guidelines
28 RSA Public Key Cryptography Based on relative ease of multiplying large primes together but almost impossible to factor the resulting product RSA keys: 3 special numeric values Algorithm produces public keys that are tied to specific private keys Provides both digital signatures and public-key encryption 28
29 Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Key Symmetric generally fast Same key for both encryption and decryption Asymmetric Can be 1000 times slower Uses two different keys (public and private) Decryption key cannot be calculated from the encryption key Key lengths: 512 to 4096 bits Used in low-volume
30 Hash Functions produces a condensed representation of a message (hashing) The fixed-length output is called the hash or message digest A hash function takes an input message of arbitrary length and outputs fixed-length code. The fixed-length output is called the hash, or the message digest, of the original input message. A form of signature that uniquely represents the data Uses: Verifying file integrity - if the hash changes, it means the data is either compromised or altered in transit. Digitally signing documents Hashing passwords
31 Hash Functions Message Digest (MD) Algorithm Outputs a 128-bit fingerprint of an arbitrary-length input Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) SHA-1 produces a 160-bit message digest similar to MD5 Widely-used on security applications (TLS, SSL, PGP, SSH, S/MIME, IPsec) SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 are also commonly used, which can produce hash values that are 256, 384, and 512-bits respectively RIPEMD
32 Digital Signature A digital signature is a message appended to a packet The sender encrypts message with own private key instead of encrypting with intended receiver s public key The receiver of the packet uses the sender s public key to verify the signature. Used to prove the identity of the sender and the integrity of the packet
33 Digital Signature Process 1. Hash the data using one of the supported hashing algorithms (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) 2. Encrypt the hashed data using the sender s private key 3. Append the signature (and a copy of the sender s public key) to the end of the data that was signed) DATA MD5/SHA-1 HASH (DATA) PRIVATE KEY DIGITAL SIGNATURE
34 Signature Verification Process 1. Hash the original data using the same hashing algorithm 2. Decrypt the digital signature using the sender s public key. All digital signatures contain a copy of the signer s public key 3. Compare the results of the hashing and the decryption. If the values match then the signature is verified. If the values do not match, then the data or signature was probably modified. DATA MD5/SHA-1 HASH (DATA) MATCH? HASH (DIGITAL SIG)

Things To Do
There are lots of things to do in Niagara on the lake and area. These are a few of the things that I enjoy and I think you might as well. This update is as of May 2018.
Things to do
- Shaw Festival: I have guests who take in every play, every year. We try to make it to one or two plays a year and are always impressed. We are saw Stephan Fry in May and it was a wonderful experience http://www.shawfest.com
- Whirlpool Jet Boat tours: Fran and I went on the jet boats soon after they arrived (Fran paid) in Niagara on the Lake about 20 years ago. Since then I have ridden at least 6 or 8 times. This is the most exciting thing there is to do in Niagara on the Lake. In the cottage guidebook you will find a coupon book entitling you to $5.00 off of every booking. Quote the number in the top right had corner of the booklet and take one coupon with you when you go. http://www.whirlpooljet.com
- Niagara Vintage Wine tours: There are around 100 wineries in the Niagara area. If you book your wine tour with these folks you will receive a $10 discount per person on your tour be sure to mention you are at Casablanca Cottage or Marrakech Mansion. I would book the Twenty Valley and Beamsville Bench tour. These wineries are a 20-minute drive away from town and you are unlikely to get to them on your own. You can do your own touring of the wineries close to Niagara on the lake. Note: no discounts Saturdays June to October. https://www.niagaravintagewinetours.com
- The Welland Canal: Go to lock three where they have an observation deck and watch the ships go up and down in the lock. Take Glendale Avenue (behind the outlet mall) to Government Road and go north. http://www.wellandcanal.com
- Avondale Dairy: This is a neat place to visit, especially if you like ice cream. This is an old fashioned dairy, built on the farm. It has not changed much since 1956 when it opened. You might want to stop on the way to or from Port Dalhousie http://www.avondaledairybar.com
- Port Dalhousie: The Lake Ontario side of the first Welland Canal. Swim at Lakeside Park Beach, walk the piers out into the lake, or ride on the historic 1905 Carousel with hand carved animals. 5 cents a ride! Restaurants and pubs abound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Dalhousie,_Ontario
- Bike Riding: I love riding my bike in Niagara on the Lake. From either house it is a 5-minute ride to Fort George where the riverside trail starts. I love to ride this paved trail to Queenstown, the big hill at Queenstown stops me but 15KM is far enough for me anyway if you make it up the hill, you can ride to Niagara Falls. This is a paved trail along the Niagara River separate from the road, so very safe. You can also choose to ride out on the trail and back on one of the side roads through the vineyards. Contact Zoom Leisure for bike rentals, they will deliver to the house with helmets or bring your own bikes. https://zoomleisure.com
- Fly to Toronto for the day: Greater Toronto Airways flies from the Niagara on the Lake airport to the Island Airport in Toronto. It takes 12 minutes and you get a view of both Niagara and Toronto from the air. Leave at 8 am and fly back at 6 PM. http://www.flygta.com
- De Simone Winery: My favorite winery. Vincenzo graduated from the Niagara College Winery program then worked at local wineries for several years. In 2017 he opened his own winery taking over his dad's fruit and vegetable market. His mum and dad now sell fruit and vegetables as well as grape pies from a stall on the site. Vincenzo puts his effort in the wine and it shows. He makes the best red wine I have tasted in NOTL. https://www.desimonevineyards.com

Titanium Kara bangles
An example of a successfully completed commission was for three "Kara" bangles made from Ti6Al4V titanium for a Sikh gentleman. These were turned from a solid billet of grade 5 titanium, requiring the removal by hand of over 90% of the solid bar to form the hollow blank from which the three bangles were turned.
This commission was special as not only was I able to make the client three attractive & comfortable to wear bangles, but the Kara is worn to constantly remind the Sikh disciple to do God's work, and as constant reminder of the Sikh's mission on this earth and that he or she must carry out righteous and true deeds and actions, keeping with the advice given by the Guru Gobind Singh. As such, it was an honour for me to be making something that not only would look nice, but which would have such significant meaning for its owner.
The client specified the design of the narrow bangle (as it is a traditional sikh design) but gave me free rein on the other two designs. All three are shown below.
I was very proud to receive the following feedback from the client – reproduced with his permission.
Hi Dave,
I opened the parcel this morning. I wanted to be sure I had some quiet time to myself for the process. You are a man after my own heart, a job worth doing is worth doing well. The care and reverence you took in the individual packaging of each piece, but also the overall security and application given to the whole parcel speaks volumes. Thank you.
As for the Kara themselves they are exquisite. I have spent most of today wearing the smaller of the three, it is ethereal. I find myself absent mindedly handling it, which is no bad thing. I plan to wear the hand worked one to a wedding next week. My cousin already has his eye on the one with the central channel!
Again, thank you for your efforts.
Fond regards,

In The End of Christendom and the Future of Christianity,[i] Douglas John Hall acknowledges the decline and fall of Christendom, that is to say the reduction or disestablishment of Christianity's imperial status as it was first established in the Constantinian era. As Hall explains, "This religion has been a great power in the world. It can still be regarded here and there as though its imperial status were intact, but it is nevertheless in the process of being reduced" (Hall, 1-2). Christianity's relation to power has therefore changed in an unfavourable way, and for Hall, the problem is that not many Christians have truly come to grips with this reality: "Attempts to confess the faith that are not cognizant of this situation, and especially those that deliberately ignore the changed circumstances of the Church in the world, cannot succeed as authentic confessions of the faith, for they avoid or fail to grasp the status of the confessing body itself, which is now no longer one of singular power and influence but that of a peripheral voice" (Hall, 2). Insofar as the faithful continue to equate Christianity with Western dominance and ignore the reality of the present historical context, their faith is, in a sense, expired, since it is no longer connected to the reality in which it is practiced. As Hall explains, "Presumption upon the past power and glory of Christendom is perhaps the greatest deterrent to faith's real confession in our present historical context" (Hall, 3). The change in the status of the confessing body in relation to power implies that the Christian faith as it has been historically understood and practiced is no longer relevant or even meaningful. To the extent that the faithful remain ignorant of the new reality and refuse to engage in the necessary reconsideration of the object and purpose of their faith in light of the changed circumstances, the practice of such a faith effectively amounts to repeatedly pressing a button on an apparatus with no electricity. In effect, all progress is stalled until the veil of foregone historical glory is wilfully removed.
According to Hall, we are currently experiencing a great transition whereby widespread secularism and religious pluralism have become the new cultural realities, and the refusal on behalf of Christian denominations to acknowledge this trend and to accordingly relinquish their old institutional structures amounts to a pointlessly unresponsive moral attitude and results in a loss of purpose. Undoubtedly, this unresponsive attitude has something to do with unwillingness on behalf of Christians to let go of their conventional expectations about the future: "The future that must be contemplated now seems altogether to contradict the future that centuries of official Christianity taught Christians to anticipate" (Hall, 8). For Hall, a serious price is being paid by the confessing body as a result of its unwillingness to acknowledge the transition that it is currently undergoing. For Hall, "the commitment to the established institutional model of the church – to Christendom in its various institutional forms – is the single most important cause of inertia and the retardation of intentional and creative response to this great transition" (Hall, 7). This transition is not one originating from within the confessing body itself, but is rather being imposed on it by outside forces, namely secularism and religious pluralism. The signal for change from without is a serious one which calls into question the existing institutional forms of the Church and suggests the need for a change that is both creative and profound. While there is always an element of faith that is blind, when faith is too blind it risks becoming irrelevant. For Hall, this is precisely the risk faced by Christians today. Hall's thesis should therefore be understood as an immediate call for action.
According to Hall, much of the difficulty Christians from the United States and Canada experience in distancing themselves from the church has to do with the tenacity of Christianity's cultural establishment in those countries. According to Hall, "The establishment of the Christian religion in both Canada and the United States, particularly the latter, has been infinitely more subtle and profound than anything achieved in the European parental cultures." For Hall, the degree to which Christianity is embedded within culture in North America is far greater than in Europe, and to this Hall attributes the legal rather than cultural nature of the establishment of Chrisitianity in Europe: "whereas the traditional establishments of European Christendom were at the level of form, ours have been at the level of content" (Hall, 29). For Hall, Christianity is so much more deep-rooted in North American culture that Christians here can scarcely distinguish between faith and culture within their own society: "The substance of the faith and the substance of our cultural values and morality appear, to most real or nominal Christians in the United States and Canada, virtually synonymous" (Hall, 31).
Hall's argument that Christianity's stronghold on North American culture explains the reluctance of North American Christians to acknowledge their own disestablishment is interesting but not entirely convincing. To be sure, faith and culture are deeply connected, but this is true for any society where religion has played an important historical role. Durkheim would go so far as to say that society is the birthplace of all religion, the very cause of its existence. As such, it would require significant effort to show how the impact of the Christian religion on the formation of European society was any less important than it was in North America. Also, the supposedly purposeful resistance to Christian disestablishment described by Hall conflicts somewhat with the necessarily subtle nature of the continuing influence of religious elements within culture. The liberal rejection of the overt religious expansionist endeavours of the past such as foreign missions and global evangelism implies that religion has had to become much more subtle in protecting, and if at all possible, expanding its place within society. This subtle infiltration of religion into the deeper foundation of culture has led to the present state of affairs whereby faith and culture are intellectually indistinguishable in North America, as Hall effectively points out. Given this concealment of religion within society and culture, how is it that North American Christians can be thought to purposely resist their disestablishment, since they should presumably be hardly cognisant of that establishment in the first place?
And how exactly should Christians react to the calling into question of their own institutional models? According to Hall, denying the reality of the disestablishment of Christendom is pointless and even counter-productive. Since, as Hall points out, "White Westerners cease to be practicing Christians at a rate of 7,600 per day" (Hall, 37), the reality of the disestablishment of Christianity needs to be properly acknowledged and accepted. But while disestablishment may be something that is happening to Christians, Christians in turn are not powerless in affecting its outcome. Hall therefore suggests that Christians should assume an active rather than a passive role in directing the process of their own disestablishment: "Given a modicum of grace and imagination, thinking Christians today can prepare themselves to see precisely in our disestablishment, not an impersonal and inglorious destiny such as may be the fate of any institution, but the will and providence of God" (Hall, 41). If disestablishment is happening to Christians, then this must be understood by Christians as resulting from the will of God. Through the reality of disestablishment, God presents Christians with a unique and important historical impetus to fundamentally redefine and reposition themselves within society. For Hall, Christians must trust the process and use this opportunity to engage in deep thinking about their spiritual purpose and come up with new ways of enriching society with their vision. As Hall explains, "Even though Christians must reject the modern idea that humans are autonomous makers of history, the covenantal basis of our faith places upon humankind a participatory responsibility for the unfolding of God's purpose" (Hall, 41). From the Christian viewpoint, God's purpose can only be realized through human action. In the present historical context, human action is needed on behalf of Christians in order to fulfill God's purpose through disestablishment.
Hall prescribes disengagement as the appropriate theological response to Christian disestablishment: "Intentional disengagement from the dominant culture with which, in the past, the older Protestant denominations of this continent have been bound up is the necessary precondition for a meaningful engagement of our society, more particularly of that same dominant culture" (Hall, 43). Since Christendom is being disestablished in a manner that Christians have little say over, it comes as no surprise that a suggested response to this disestablishment should be disengagement. After all, when your ship is sinking, is it not better to jump off and try to find an alternative method of survival? Furthermore, to the extent that a failing mechanism (such as Christendom) is due to some deficiency in its design or execution, disengagement would appear to be a necessary first step in the remediation process. After all, you can't fix a broken car while it is still moving in one direction or another.
For Hall, Christian disengagement constitutes the onerous task of untangling the Christian message from the broader cultural tenets of society: "Concretely speaking, Christians must learn how to distinguish the Christian message from the operative assumptions, values, and pursuits of our host society, and more particularly those segments of our society with which, as so-called mainstream churches, we have been identified" (Hall, 45). But in Hall's estimate, Christians today are not equipped with the kind of informed thoughtfulness about their faith that is needed in order for them to effectively accomplish this task. According to Hall, "Until a far greater number of church-going Americans and Canadians have become more articulate about the faith than they currently are, we cannot expect the churches to stand back from their sociological moorings far enough to detach what Christians profess from the mishmash of modernism, postmodernism, secularism, pietism, and free-enterprise democracy with which Christianity in our context is so fantastically interwoven" (Hall, 48).
In the final analysis, it would appear that Hall's order is a tall and potentially unrealistic one. Arguably, Christians have become so accustomed to their faith being embedded within culture that the intellectual challenge of extracting what is truly Christian from the rest of society's beliefs and aspirations seems overwhelming. This assessment seems reasonable for three reason, the first being the sheer complexity of the task, the second being the fact that Christians as a result of habituation to the status quo are likely not to be intellectually equipped to accomplish the task, and the third being the potential lack of mental motivation on behalf of real or nominal Christians to perform the task given the relative ease with which other spiritual avenues can be pursued. Finally, Hall speaks of the need for Christianity to rediscover its own distinctive ontological foundations, but is not the case that the ontological substance of Christianity has in fact changed as a result of its interaction with society over time, such that the foundations Hall is referring to no longer hold much ontological weight?

Hagan to serve as co-chair of new clean energy group
U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan will serve as an Honorary Co-Chair of Third Way, a prominent policy organization committed to promoting effective, moderate solutions to our most pressing national challenges.

Coalition asking residents to 'shop and dine' locally
The "Jobs for Henderson County Coalition" urges all residents to shop and dine in Henderson County.
Shopping locally not only benefits our merchants and their employees, it adds to local government revenue in the form of sales tax dollars. North Carolina collects a 7.75-cent sales tax on every dollar spent — 2.25 of those cents are returned to the county in which the taxed items were purchased.
Sales taxes collected by Henderson County businesses make up over 20 percent of the county's budget and between 20-30 percent of its municipalities' budgets, which provides for school needs, infrastructure and countless other items we enjoy and expect as residents here.
The coalition is adding an additional incentive for local patronage, a St. Patrick's Day Package valued at $500. Each $100 you spend with Henderson County merchants between Feb. 23 and March 11 entitles shoppers to fill out an entry for the drawing.
Bring receipts by the Chamber of Commerce office at 204 Kanuga Road (at the corner of Kanuga and Church streets) in downtown Hendersonville.For more information on the "Shop & Dine Henderson County" campaign and the coalition, call 828-692-1413.
Chamber offering series on marketing in 21st century
Marketing is evolving. From DVRs to pop-up blockers and spam engines, savvy consumers are being given the tools to ignore your message.
Join Drew Hannush, president of Hannush Enterprises, from noon until 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 29 at the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce office, 204 Kanuga Road, for part one of this series as he introduces attendees to the concepts of Internet marketing and helps them understand where all of this is going.
He will start with basic website search engine optimization, look at some do-it-yourself techniques for tight budgets, and dive into what constitutes a full-fledged search marketing program. He will also give an idea of basic costs, risks and rewards, and how to find the right help.
Cost to attend the seminar is $10 for Chamber members and $15 for non-members. Registration is requested by calling 828-692-1413.
Smart Start trying to keep federal funding
Smart Start of Henderson County is working hard to communicate to state legislators the importance of continued funding for programs in the county that improve child health, family support and access to high-quality early childhood education.
Smart Start officials invite residents interested in learning more about Smart Start, or those who would like to receive statewide early childhood advocacy updates via e-mail, to contact them.
The social, educational and economic benefits of high-quality early care and education are so clear that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a 2010 report saying, "Early childhood education has a tremendous impact on the national economic security and the viability of the American dream," Smart Start said in a news release.
For parents, dependable quality care presents the opportunity to work and provide for their families. Studies show that a child's experiences early in life shape his or her successes and quality of life later.
As a community, it is essential that we invest our resources and energy in helping our young children birth to age 5 prepare for success in school and in life.For more information, visit www.smartstarthc.org, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 828-693-1580.

Well, it's been a while. I started Wondering in Color when I was a crazy list maker and time blocker. While I was busy I could carve out time to post or so I thought. I had ideas and stars of post but they were never posted. Health issues in the family meant more trips and I was pregnant with my first child, but perfectionism is why posts never happened. Perfectionism is a nasty thing, that stifles creativity and keeps me from actually completing things. I will work, and rework, and rework, and trash, and redo, edit, edit, and it's constantly being revised and improved as I try to hit the unattainable bullseye of perfect. I actually really liked the video Hank Green did on his secret to productivity, which is about not shooting for perfection. Here's the link to the video, check it out, it's good. I wanna come back to both my beauty blogging and here at Wondering in Color a little less perfect than before so I can post more and get content out to you guys.
For a while, I ended up taking a step back from a lot of social media and my beauty blogging to recenter and reevaluate as life got crazy with a newborn. My structured schedule is gone having an infant around. I am Julia's caretaker during the week, so I get most of my work done during nap times or after my husband gets home, so I have a lot less time available than before. I also had to deal with some PPOCD, and I am feeling myself again, but my doctor wants me to have more "down time" which has been a huge help. I've been reading more which has actually been lovely as well as cooking more ambitious recipes. I want blogging on Wondering in Color to be part of the "downtime", cause I really enjoy creating content, so WIC will be less formal than what I am posting the the beauty world. I wanna share new recipes I've been loving with you guys, what I've been doing in my bullet journal, maybe a sketchbook post or two and books I've been enjoying. Maybe make a cooking video or Seattle vlog, who knows.
Anyhow, I am back. A bit less formal and a bit more me than before. I hope you'll enjoy the little less perfected Wondering in Color. Let me know if there are topics that you'd like to see posts on and what if your favorite thing to cook? Let me know in the comments!

I'm really excited for this month's What I Ate Wednesday theme:
(Thanks to Jenn for hosting every week!)
I don't have any good healthy holiday recipes at the moment. All of my recipes fall into the butter & sugar saturated category which I have absolutely no qualms with. My mom and I will be having Christmas Baking Extravaganza 2012 when I get home for Christmas. I can't wait. Don't worry, I'll share some recipes when we finish. Though we can't take credit for any of the recipes, they're old enough that they're still worth sharing, like our fudge recipe from the 1970s. The recipe looks like it was printed on the Dead Sea Scrolls. I can't wait!
Well know that I've completely sidetracked myself, back to the topic of healthy holiday recipes. Like I was saying, I don't have any, but this Saturday my friends and I are have a dessert potluck, that's right a dessert potluck, we don't mess around with silly things like dinner of nutrients, we go straight for the sugar 🙂 Anyway I'm hoping to do some experimenting with healthy holiday treats then, because even though I love myself some sugar, I can't help myself still have to healthify it as much as possible. When you healthify things it makes eating half the batch totally acceptable right? I agree.
And you can just go ahead and settle in with my rambling, exam time makes my brain a little mushy and my already short attention span even shorter. The huge cup of coffee next to me probably isn't helping. Just go with it.
Wow that was a lot of words, on to the good stuff, with pictures.
6:30 am
Yesterday morning's wake up call was particularly painful, luckily I had my peanut butter oats and coffee to comfort me.
I think I've eaten the breakfast for more than 100 mornings in a row and if you lived with me you would know that that is no exaggeration. Sad thing is that I'm not even close to getting sick of it. I think that should say something about how wonderful this combination is.
Coffee is slowly becoming it's own meal lately. It's a bad bad bad habit but I'm starting to rely on it for all the sleep I'm not getting. Bad Lea, but it's the only way to make it through exams, sorry body. Luckily it's been extra delicious lately. While at Trader Joe's over Thanksgiving break I was picking up some coffee, because Trader Joe's has miraculously cheap coffee, seriously a miracle, but they were out of my usual coffee choice:
So I splurged an extra $2 for this guy:
and it has been quite a delicious substitution. I just brew it extra strong because the old man in me can't drink light/medium coffee. It is chocolate-y and just all around delicious and officially on my regular coffee rotation.
8:50 am
My appetite was surprisingly small yesterday morning, usually I'm one hungry beast in the morning, so I grabbed half a square of Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate on the way out the door so my tummy wouldn't start growling during class. That's always an awkward situation.
11:20 am
I snacked on some un-pictured baby carrots and a salad:
Spinach, sweet potato, avocado and Bragg's liquid aminos. I love this combination, it's so simple but I love the sweet of the potatoes with the creamy from the avocado plus the savory/smoky of the liquid aminos, plus the avocado gives it some awesome staying power. This salad also fulfilled Tuesday's Elf For Health challenge. Since the weather has gotten cooler (except for this past week where it's been in the 60s, which I don't understand but won't question!) I haven't been craving salads like I usually do, but lately I've been trying to squeeze more salads into my day which has been a lovely addition. Don't get me wrong, I'm still eating just as many veggies, they're just usually roasted instead of in salad form.
And look at the baby sweet potato I used to make this salad!
Excuse the foot. Sad thing is this was the largest sweet potato left in the bag I bought. Actually that's not sad, I love small food, it makes it extra cute 🙂
I had a snack attack between my last two classes and chowed down on some roasted edamame and this new snack bar find:
I usually buy snack bars at EarthFare because they have a much better variety, but they are more expensive. I haven't done a very good job of budgeting my money lately and I've been spending too much money on things like coffee and snacks on campus, aka frivolous things I don't need and could avoid if I planned better. So in an effort to cut down on my grocery bill I shopped exclusively at Harris Teeter and the healthy snack bar options were a little slim. I was the snack aisle looking for something gluten-free that wasn't filled with sugar and funky ingredients and I happened upon these Nature Valley Almond Crunch bars, the ingredient list is pretty simple, they're gluten-free, have only 6g of sugar per bar, 6g of protein and 13g of healthy fats. I'd call that a winner. I'll definitely be getting these guys more often because they are much cheaper than what I usually gravitate towards, and still very tasty. Plus I'm loving the lower sugar content, it's so hard to find snack bars that aren't filled with sugar, even if it is natural.
I also had some olives:
I love love love olives. Seriously, as a kid my family would go to Olive Garden and I would make a meal off black olives and breadsticks alone. They make a pretty darn tasty snack, I rinsed them off really well after opening the can so I wouldn't be too overloaded with sodium.
The professor for my 2:00 class is currently in South Africa and funny thing is I stayed longer in that class than I ever did when he was there. Before you think I'm a horrible student, it's a project based class so we're free to leave after he lectures. Back on topic, after class I headed to the coffee shop to kill a little time before I headed to the gym. I had a tiny but un-pictured banana to fuel me through some more homework, are you sensing a theme in the way I spend my free time lately?
Actually it was about the size of this banana. So small! I seriously have an unnatural love for small foods.
I went to a 20/20/20 class at the gym, it's been too long since I've been to a cardio class (I missed them) so I'm super sore today, everything hurts a little bit, somethings hurt a lot. The instructor was my favorite, she is HARDCORE but such a sweet heart. True story one time I went to one of her classes and no one else showed up and since we have to have at least 2 people to have a class (it's considered personal training or something silly like that if there aren't more students than instructors) I taught her Pilates and she taught me some ab work. It was a fun trade off.
I told you it was going to be ramble city over here, it's called procrastiblogging. I'm trying to put off the three cover letters I need to write by Friday. Poor life choice, but I like blogging much more than I like writing cover letters. Much, much more.
ANYWAY, back to what I ate. Let's see if I can actually stay on topic this time.
I was hungry little beast when I got back to my apartment so I whipped up something quick:
Please don't mind my dirty stove, just pretend I cleaned up that little spill after I ate dinner. I had scrambled tofu with frozen broccoli, curry powder and Bragg's. I hope to one day consume enough curry that my skin actually turns yellow from the tumeric. I. Love. Curry.
I also threw some brussels sprouts in the oven to roast while I ate this, because I don't have the patience to wait for veggies to roast while I'm hungry.
I'm on a big roasted brussel sprout kick lately, I always love them but it is seriously all I want to eat right now. I think I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I don't, because that would be a little weird.
I had a couple of late night snacks number one being this combo:
Sorry that looks completely disgusting, it tastes much better than it looks. It is cauliflower, nutritional yeast and Braggs. Kinda random but very tasty.
A little later on I had this guy again:
I'm really loving this combo but I'll have to find a new one soon because I'm almost out of craisins and greek yogurt and I'm not about to buy more before I go home for a month over Christmas break. I'm in operation fridge clean out mode right now.
And I still wanted something sweet before bed, so went for a new snack that I've been loving but everyone's been making fun of me for, so don't judge.
Yes, prunes. I'm officially an 80-year old lady for saying this but I love them. They are a good way to satisfy my sweet tooth and don't have quite as much sugar as most other dried fruits. They are delicious and you can bring on the old lady jokes, I do not care.
Okay props to anyone who made it all the way through that post. It was a doozy. Your dedication is amazing.
Do you have any new snacks you've been loving lately?
Do you have any good healthy holiday recipes? Please link up and share! I'd love to hear them.
How do you procrastinate? Everyone has a way they procrastinate, don't act like you don't.

If you work on a zone plan in cleaning and decluttering your home, this month is the perfect month to work in your attic or basement. It is not too hot or too cold and you are probably already in that area looking for seasonal decorations.
So while you are up there (or down there), look around. Besides the seasonal decorations, what else do you store in this area?
Make a list of all the categories you have in the storage space.
You might store:
- out of season clothes
- suitcases
- archival papers
- seasonal house items like fans/heaters
- sports equipment
- toys to pass on to grandchildren
- extra furniture and household accessories
Label containers. It helps to locate the holiday items if you use colored or themed boxes to store your decorations, but still label the boxes with the primary items. If you containers are well labeled, you will not have to dig through every box to find that advent wreath or crèche that you want early in the season.
While sorting, if you come across broken or unloved items that have been languishing in this area for years, get rid of them now. You will feel so much lighter when this is accomplished and next year, when this zone rolls around again, it will not be nearly so difficult.
