Cooking in Calcutta is about cooking Bengali food. But, it's also about cooking in general, its joys and its challenges, and its universal appeal.

Striking a relationship with your grocer
I am getting to say hello to the fishmonger who had become a friend. He would never cheat at the weighing scale. He is the one on whom I placed my trust. I would sometimes buy fish from other vendors and have it weighed at his stall. If he said I had been cheated I would go back to the stall where I had bought the fish and claim the deficit. I would demand the correct weight.
During my holiday, I am getting to buy from my regular fishmonger again. Over the past two days, I bought from him katla, a fish of the carp family. I also bought parshe, or gold-spot mullet, and tiger prawn, or shrimp, from a woman, a stall owner who I know would never cheat.
Above all, during the glorious days of the waning year, I am getting to chat again with Ashok, my "sabziwala," who buys his produce from farmers he knows. His stuff is always fresh and tender and the best variety. I bought giant, brilliant white cauliflowers, peas in their pristine shells, and tomatoes that aren't the hybrid variety available all year round. This variety of tomato, though somewhat pale in color, is seasonal, tastier and juicier.
One reason I am enjoying my vacation so much is that I am connecting again with the vegetable vendor and the fishmonger I patronized on a regular basis. It's a joy to shop when you have a relationship with your vendor. Supermarkets, with their sanitized and spic-and-span environment, can never match this experience of clamor and camaraderie. What do you say, reader?

Social media has taken on a role of high importance in many people's lives. People use social media not only to connect with friends and family but to share likes and dislikes, buy products, find information and keep others updated.
Social media is an online social network that can be accessed by computers, tablets and smartphones where users communicate with other people, as well as share news, opinions and products. The most popular social networks include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many more. More and more businesses are utilising the marketing and advertising power of social media to boost brand awareness, sales and profits.
Why is Social Media Useful?
Social media creates an online space for people to communicate, influence and share their views with other social network users around the globe. Businesses and organisations can create pages or links that consumers can 'like', comment on, and share with their contacts. The larger the online presence developed, the more credibility the business appears to have. If a page or brand becomes popular on social media it also creates a level of trust in consumers.
How Can Social Media Benefit My Business?
Social media is instantaneous and in real-time so you can stay connected with your customers and prospective customers around-the-clock. Furthermore, social media doesn't rely on being local; you can communicate and connect with consumers all over the world with the click of a button. Most social media accounts are free, therefore, making a page to advertise your products, services or brand will cost little or no money. Not only that, users do all of the work for you – sharing and 'liking' your page will provide your business with free viral marketing that will also do wonders for your search engine results.
Twitter is a micro-blogging social media platform that keeps posts to a short and sweet 140 characters. Twitter isn't suitable for posting large amounts of texts or news updates, but it is great for posting links to your blogs or for writing small sales blurbs. Twitter users 're-post' and answer posts directly, to create a dialogue between you and your customers.
If you don't have the time to create and maintain social media accounts,
don't worry - you can always hire a virtual assistant to take care of
all the hard work for you! Make contact today.

Interesting Book
This was a gift I received as a birthday gift. Its a good read and duChemin has a great sense of humor. I enjoy his ideas about marketing as a photographer and how the digital age should be considered a tool rather than a headache. This book is very simple in my opinion, which i enjoy. The book is straight to the point with out being too complex with the ideas.
duChemin adds a nice touch by incorporating current working photographers at all levels as examples of branding, style of photography, and business practices.
Visionmongers may not be the best book, but its had interesting concepts and tries to be a well rounded informational tool for those trying to make a living with photography. You can probably pick one up used for cheap.

Judaism is the core curriculum at Bar-Ilan University, because without a basic shared heritage, Jewish society cannot survive. Since its inception, Bar-Ilan University has been committed to providing every Jewish student with basic knowledge of Judaism via a unique Basic Studies Program. It is our belief that familiarity with Jewish values and culture is the key to fostering Jewish unity, and commitment to the Jewish people and to the land of Israel.
The Helene and Paul Shulman School for Basic Jewish Studies, housed in the Jack and Gitta Nagel Jewish Family Heritage Center offers hundreds of courses focused on Jewish history, the Bible and Talmud, Jewish art, Hebrew and Semitic Languages, and more. In these classes, distinguished academicians who are also talmidei hachamim, impart fundamental Jewish knowledge to religious and secular alike, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and intellectual inquiry.
Bar-Ilan University narrows the gap between religious and secular Israelis by giving them a common language, the language of Jewish tradition. The Center for Basic Jewish Studies presents these students – many secular, immigrant, or simply craving basic Jewish knowledge – with what may be their first and last chance at Jewish literacy. Bar-Ilan is the only Israeli university to do so.

Soon leaves will be falling from the trees — the quintessential sign of autumn. The choices we make with our leaves have a significant impact on the future health of our lakes and rivers. The nutrients released from decaying leaves are an unwelcome guest to our waterways, where they encourage algae growth. If our community works together, we can minimize this — and keep our lakes and rivers healthy.
In Blooming Grove you can do your part by raking leaves and bagging them. The Town will pick up bags if they weigh less than 40 pounds, contain only yard waste, and are tied at the top. This is a weekly service that runs from October 15 through November.
Thank you in advance for being a part of the long-term solution, and keeping our waterways viable for years to come. For more information, visit http://myfairlakes.com/fall_campaign.aspx.

Connection Card
The Principle of First
(Exodus 13:1-2 NKJV) Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine."
(Exodus 13:12-13 NKJV) That you shall set apart to the LORD all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the LORD's. But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.
1. The first must be sacrificed or redeemed.
2. The firstfruits must be offered.
(Proverbs 3:9-10 NKJV) Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
(Exodus 23:19 NKJV) The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God.
(Genesis 4:3-5 NKJV) And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering.
3. The tithe must be first.
(Leviticus 27:30 NKJV) And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's. It is holy to the LORD.
(Exodus 13:14-15 NKJV) So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.

Build a Better DVR out of an Old PC
The Tivo has revolutionised the way people watch TV as you no longer have to search for a blank tape when you want to record a show, don't have to remember to set the timer and can pause and rewind live TV. If you have a spare old computer you can build yourself a homemade Tivo like system with cheap or even free software. I use BeyondTV from SnapStream.com for my home built media computer and use it to watch my downloaded TV shows more than I use my standard cable box. If you want to know how to make your our Digital Video Recorder read this great article, MakeZine.com: Free TiVo: Build a Better DVR out of an Old PC

Did you know that this is a whole area of learning?
If you're worried that you don't understand some of the grammatical terms used in German lessons, or you can't relate them to your own language, you're certainly not alone.
Stroodlesoo will do her best to explain the grammatical terms needed to get to grips with the structure of the German language and, wherever possible, we will continue to learn contextual phrases so that we really don't need to worry too much about all those grammar rules.
So now you can stop worrying if you didn't learn English grammar at school. Lots of us didn't!
If (and only IF!) you'd like to explore the subject further, there are some excellent materials available, including this little book, called "Engish Grammar for Students of German", by Cecile Zorach and Charlotte Melin. ISBN: 0-340-74199-6. It's widely available to buy online and in book shops. I also have a copy, which students are very welcome to borrow.

Starring Mistress Anggie and Quida. Quida is a Black housewife with a secret that nobody knows. Her secret is that she has always had a hidden desire to be with another woman and eat her pussy. But not just any pussy, she wants to eat White pussy. Since she is home alone, she decides that its time to make her dreams come true, so she calls an escort service and request that they send over a White female . Before long there is a knock at the door; its the Quida requested. Quida invites the (Mistress Anggie) in. Quida immediately notices that Anggie looks like a trashy street whore, but she doesnt let that dissuade her from her goal of finally being able to eat beautiful White pussy. They negotiate a price and before you know it, Quida has her face buried in the White street whores pussy. Anggie is very ghetto and rude, and degrades Quida while she eats her pussy. Anggie tells Quida that she is a nasty hoe, and questions Quida about her husband knowing that she likes to eat White pussy. Quida tells the whore that its a secret that she doesnt want her husband and family to know about. Before long Quida gets more than she bargains for, because Anggie is very picky and demanding about how she wants her pussy eaten. Anggie begins to face fuck Quida, while rudely telling Quida about all the johns that came in her pussy just before coming over. Anggie also tells Quida how she wants to cum all over her mouth, and how she better lick her pussy good enough to make her cum. Quida tries her best to please the street whore, but Anggie pussy is unquenchable. After a while Anggie gets frustrated about not being able to cum in the bitch's mouth, so she makes Quida put on a face dildo, and then straddles Quidas face while fucking the dildo. Anggie aggressively face fucks Quida, while Quida does her best to bring Anggie to a climax with her tongue. Eventually Anggie has a huge climatic orgasm all over Quidas mouth, and then leaves abruptly to go see her next john.

I had been struggling with large reading commitments, when a proof copy of THE CHALK MAN arrived in the mail. I put it to one side [leaving it for later] due to lack of time.
The hype surrounding it – the fierce bidding war from various publishing houses, international rights, allusions to Stephen King and James Herbert, and a Crime / Horror Debut novel plucked from 'the slush pile', breathless 'blurbs' from other writers – well – the hype had the opposite effect.
Despite being an enthusiast of Horror Fiction and The Weird the hype put me off the book.
How wrong could I have been?
Massively so.
I soon discovered when I finally cracked the spine of this remarkable novel that it is extraordinary. I also received word from several of my US reviewing colleagues who were equally impressed including Larry Gandle the Assistant Editor of Deadly Pleasures Magazine [a literary critic renowned for his no-nonsense approach, and a reader who is hard to impress].
Apart from being an elegant narrative split between the 1980s and current day, it also is written with an assured voice, which contains insight, and makes one reflect upon reality, as this paragraph below illustrates.
Rather than tell you too much, why not watch the short promotional film from Penguin Randomhouse
So it was a delight to find myself invited to the launch party organised by Gaby Young of Penguin RandomHouse in Islington, North London. I bumped into celebrated writer and critic Barry Forshaw, Shots Ayo Onatade, former Chair of The Crime Writers Association writer / critic Natasha Cooper, Jon Coates from The Express among an eclectic array of guests.
So as the canapés and wine flowed, the advance word about this debut was very exciting, so we chatted to the author, the editorial and marketing team from Michael Joseph imprint at Penguin RandomHouse, and soon it was time to hear more, so we present a short clip [recorded in gonzo-style] from the party.
And we present a few photographs from the launch party.
What makes this debut so intriguing is best explained by the author in this clip
We would urge you to seek out The Chalk Man, before he knocks on your door.

About 15,000 yards (13,700m) of nylon fabric that were to be used to manufacture military backpacks were waylaid by the Ministry of National Defense after the contracted company attempted to ship the cloth to China's Guangdong Province for further processing, the ministry said on Friday.
The Kaohsiung-based Armament Bureau's Manufacturing Center contracted an undisclosed company to manufacture 36,000 military backpacks, the ministry said.
The bureau said it transferred the 21,000 yards of nylon fabric to the company on Tuesday and on Wednesday dispatched personnel to the factory to certify that production of the backpacks had begun, as per regulation.
However, officials found far less fabric at the plant than was transferred, and after extensive questioning discovered that it was shipping 15,000 yards to Guangdong, the bureau said.
The contract between the bureau and the factory explicitly states that the backpacks must be made in Taiwan, the bureau added.
The bureau immediately contacted the Kaohsiung Customs Administration Office and asked it to identify and stop a container that held the fabric from leaving, the bureau said, adding that customs halted processing in time.
The factory blatantly breached the contract, probably because it lacked the capacity to complete an order of the size within the 60-day time frame set for delivery or because it sought to cut costs, the bureau said.
In an unofficial comment, the ministry said that while the fabric was not considered "classified," if the factory had succeeded in its plans, the consequences could have been nearly as bad.
The fabric and relevant patents belong to the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology, Major General Lo Yi-chung (羅意中) said.
The dimensions of the backpacks — the latest model — are 57cm, 36cm and 27cm, Lo said, adding that they should be able to carry 50kg or more.
The bags must hold all of a soldier's battle gear — including helmet, clothes, water jug, ammunition and shoes, Lo said.

Got a girl crush on: Keetra Dean Dixon
There's so many morsels of goodies on Keetra's portofolio site, but for today I'll stick to her excellent series titled Just Between You and Me.
In this project, she explores objects of co-dependencies with clever constructions like the toe-to-heel shoes, the balloon with two inflation openings, the two-sided cigarette, and my favorite–the three-eyed glasses. If only these were for sale, they'd be the perfect gift for you and your boo.

Welcome to the multilingual web site of Costa del sol in English
Here you have all the information that you need from A to Z updated regulary, for your business,
pleasure and life in general on the Costa del sol.
The Costa del Sol has been considered an international tourist destination since the early fifties of the past century.
Nowadays, we are proud to say that modern infrastructures and an incomparable climate put the province of Málaga
in the first place on the Spanish Peninsula in terms of numbers of visitors.
It is often said that the province of Malaga is a small continent. Exaggerated and somewhat pretentious as
this might sound,
there is an element of truth in it. The province of Malaga, although the smallest in Andalusia,
measuring 7.272 square kilometres,
is indeed a land of contrast. Mountains, sea, rural villages and sophisticated tourist resorts. It is all here,
and with the most extensive network of hotels anywhere in Spain, enjoying the contrast is one of life's rare pleasures
One of Europe's favourite Mediterranean holiday regions, the vast Costa del Sol or 'Sun Coast' runs from
the Costa Tropical
south of Granada to the tip of Tarifa past Gibraltar,and it really does have something for everyone sandy beaches,
year-round sunshine, excellent sporting facilities and lively nightlife.
And if you like a little culture on your holidays, there's plenty to see

Batu Lawi, South Face. On March 5, Volker Shoeffl, Scott Morley, photographer Chris Noble,
videographers Jim Surrette and Ken Sauls and I began the first leg of our ascent of Batu Lawi (6,703'), a remote spire in the Kelabit Highlands of Borneo. After a hair-raising flight (one engine failure) to the Highland community of Bario, then a short walk to the longhouse at Pa Ukat where we hired porters, the group began trekking toward the spire. We hiked for four days in an almost continuous downpour before reaching the base of the spire.
Our first attempt was on the east face, the largest and most striking side of the spire. Not much is known about this part of the world, and despite a scientific study claiming the spire to be of karst limestone, we found it to be Melingan Sandstone. Being porous, this rock absorbs a lot of the 300-plus inches of rain the Highlands receive each year and can thus be very weak. We had a limited amount of time, and after a few days of attempting to aid on hooks and knife blades up thin, water-weakened cracks (something none of us specialized in), we were forced to attempt the more moderate-looking south face.
The ca. 800-foot south face had its own difficulties. Large clumps of thick vegetation hung over many of the cracks like seracs, and their overhanging
undersides thwarted us on numerous crack lines. We eventually made it up via chimneys, hand cracks and occasional face climbing. At one point, two of us passed over a bamboo viper, one of the world's deadliest snakes. We reached the summit between storms and were given a clear view of the unspoiled rainforest.
Batu Lawi had been climbed twice before, once via the south ridge in 1986 by a British Army team and again by an Australian team in 1996. Our route went just west of the Australian line on the south face, then connects with it for the last pitch. The difficulty is hard to say as the standard rock ratings don't fit. The hardest rock pitch was 5.10a or b and with good protection, but the true crux was in dealing with the jungle, both on the trek and on the wall. Climbing over the overhanging clumps of moss as they pull away from the wall deserves its own rating system! One overhang near the top that had no gear was perhaps 20 feet long and would probably get the jungle rating of J4. The wetness of the mountain, its remote location and the difficulties of climbing in the jungle will no doubt steer other ascentionists away, but it shouldn't. Batu Lawi is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, and getting to see the ever-shrinking rain forest in its pristine state truly makes this a worthy objective.

On behalf of the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Global Education, and on behalf of our Partners, Crew, Sponsors and Volunteers, welcome to the official website of Global Learn Day.
Global Learn Day embraces the concept of "One Planet, One People" and we welcome and encourage ALL people to participate. From the earliest age, humans are learners. This Day is a celebration of that learning.
Our Voyage begins where the planet begins the New Day (in Tonga and New Zealand). It ends just east of the International Date Line way out in the Central Pacific exactly 24 hours later with "stops" in every time zone.
All along the way, we host compelling conversations inside the "Admiral's Dining Hall." Conversations that are lively, interactive, fun, urgent, important. These conversations take place over Social Media – Facebook, Twitter, YouTube – and provide a variety of relevant topics so that wherever you are at on your educational journey, you will gain something by Joining Our Voyage. We invite you to consider presenting your idea, your celebration as part of our event.
Every year our goal is to reach one million participants. Participants who love to learn and want to learn more.
While our Clipper, The Franklin, is wholly imaginary, we'd like you to accept that this is not an ordinary 'webinar'; nor an ordinary 'event'.
It's a passage across all five Oceans where those "aboard" are as interesting and informative as you would find as a First Class passenger on any major Ocean Liner. It is an opportunity to learn.
The most frequently asked question is: "What time is it in my part of the world?"
Exactly what day do we launch? What day do we "arrive"?
We try to make this easy for you:
- If you live in the Americas, from Alaska to Chile, departure is in the morning, Friday, October 11th.
- If you live in Asia, Africa or Europe, the Voyage begins on Friday, October 12th in the afternoon or early evening.
- The Opening Ceremonies will be in New Zealand, GMT 00:01 – which is one minute after 4 P.M, local time, in Auckland. (For the rest of the world, click here.)
Thank you for visiting us. More — much more – follows. Stay tuned.

Bottom: Round Handle Tote | Straw Shoulder Tote | Rattan Circle Tote
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Do you shop on Amazon for fashion? I shop Amazon for nearly everything, but it's usually not my go-to for clothes, etc. I think sometimes for me it's the photos...not the prettiest presentation of the products, which throws me off. However, as I was looking for a new beach tote I can across soooo many cute affordable options on Amazon, so I rounded up a few of my favorites. Some of these are knockoffs of some really expensive name brand handbags and look just as cute. And all of these are under $40 (some are only $20 something)!! Now to decide which one (or three) I need :)
Which is your favorite?
Have a great weekend!!

#32 Sam Mayes
Sam Mayes was another great example of a Brisbane Lions player who improved greatly under Chris Fagan's coaching in 2017.
Playing in all bar one match for the year, Mayes averaged 21 disposals and 6 marks a match, considerably up on his figures from his previous four seasons with the Lions.
Mayes' best match of the season came in the Lions' thumping victory over Fremantle in Round 12 when he collected a career-high 29 disposals and took the ball inside 50 six times.
Luke Hodge's likely arrival at the Lions next season will be a great asset for Mayes as he seeks to continue improving and establish himself as one of the competition's elite half-backs.

Dr. Michael Green Leads $2M Study of Primary Health Care in Ontario
Dr. Michael Green is Nominated Principal Investigator for a $2 million grant that will enable him to continue to study the state of primary health-care services in Ontario.
The INSPIRE-PHC-2 (Innovations Strengthening Primary Healthcare through Research-Phase 2) research program has been awarded through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Health System Research Fund (HSRF).
The project is a continuation of an earlier three-year HSRF program award that was led by Western University.
Along with co-lead Rick Glazier at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES), Dr. Green and his team of about 30 researchers province-wide will further evaluate Ontario's primary health-care services and make recommendations to the ministry to bridge identified gaps. A series of studies will provide better-quality information on patient needs and the capacity to deliver care in defined geographic areas, and will provide early feedback on the successes and challenges in introducing primary health-care reforms. This research will help improve access to care, the care experience for patients, and better health outcomes for all Ontarians.

Release Date: June 15, 2012
Certification: 15
Director: David Cronenberg
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche
David Cronenberg's latest is a curious offering. Based on Don DeLillo's novel of the same name; a sort of contemporary Ulysses set in New York, Cosmopolis baffles as much as it intrigues. Also, judging by the mass exodus from my cinema screening, those expecting the usual Robert Pattinson fair will be in for a huge shock.
I counted around 15 people leaving within the first hour of the film. I can't remember seeing anything in a cinema that caused an audience to react so extremely. There were a fair few walk outs in Terence Malick's The Tree of Life, but this was on an unprecedented scale; particularly since they constituted about half the people in the screening. To be fair to them, it wasn't your usual Robert Pattinson fodder: but neither was it typical of Cronenberg. Those familiar with his work might find that it leaves them cold. The film is littered with his trademark touches; the moments of black comedy and body horror in particular will please his fans. However the narrative (or lack of) and the nightmarish atmosphere were more reminiscent of Lynch than Cronenberg.
The film follows 20-something billionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson) as he rides in his limousine through Manhattan, making his way to a barbers to receive a haircut. Along the way he meets to eat lunch with his wife, has sex with 2 different women and gets caught in the middle of a violent protest. The story is essentially a selection of scenes in which Eric aimlessly talks at length with the various people he encounters. Big names pop up here and there; Juliette Binoche and Paul Giamatti appear in two of its more memorable scenes. The dialogue is compelling at times, but more often than not is muddled and confusing. The scene with Samantha Morton in particular was composed of dialogue so dense that I almost found myself giving up on it completely.
The visuals however are stunning, and arguably save the film from falling into a portentous mess. The camera is expertly positioned in every frame; providing a sense of unease as it places the audience as voyeur and peeks through windows and around corners. The shifting landscape outside the claustrophobic limousine also makes for some memorably surrealist images: a large rat puppet stalking the streets, and a man setting himself on fire are amongst the most striking. Cityscapes rarely look this familiar, and yet so compellingly strange.
Its other strength is Pattinson, who gives the best performance of his career so far. His public school boy image, which was once so grating, fits the role perfectly. In fact, one could say that Cosmopolis' narrative arc of a successful young man going out of his way to destroy his own career is laced with a decent dose of irony. If indeed Cosmopolis marks the beginning of a new career path for Pattinson, then that could be seen as its biggest strength.
In Summary: A departure for both Pattinson and Cronenberg that never quite hits the high notes it wants to, but is nonetheless compelling filmmaking. It'll frustrate some, but it undeniably has its moments.

Sometimes, we confuse our current assignment with our calling. We assume that we're "called" to be a student, teacher, designer, writer, or pastor. Oftentimes, we believe that our current place is our complete calling. In the last few weeks, I've been learning that our calling is far bigger—it goes beyond a job that may last a few months or years. Instead, I believe that we're called to a mission, and we're assigned to positions.
From time to time, I think we get too specific with our callings, and it ends up leaving us devastated when something goes wrong. I know many people who kept trying to do something they weren't good at because they felt "called" to do it. Maybe they felt called to be a youth pastor or called to be in a leadership position—but when that didn't pan out, they were left heart-broken, picking up the pieces of their identity.
When I think about this, I look to the best example of both leadership and servanthood: Jesus. He was a carpenter, a craftsman. It was difficult, tough, and certainly not the ideal platform from which to build a following. So, would you say Jesus' calling was to be a carpenter? Of course not—we know He came to show us what God was really like and to pay for our sins. Jesus was defined by his mission, not his position.
What you do is not who you are. Your calling might be to help other people reach their full potential, which can look different in so many ways—it could be being a pastor, a counselor, teacher, or a parent.
So don't stress about whether your current place is your calling—it's not. It might be apart of it, but it's not it. God is doing so much more in and through your life than your current 9-5 or your current college major. Your calling is bigger than the next year, next five years, and even the next 20. Embrace your current assignment in your calling, and keep being faithful where you are.
"Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." — Matthew 6:33 MSG

GAYLORD - "HONK!" is a brand new musical to hit the American stage, and The Cathedral Players will bring it to life in Gaylord Nov. 17-20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mount Carmel Centre.
HONK! is the story of "The Ugly Duckling," but told, say producers of the local show, "in a most delightful manner that will satisfy not only the children but also adults alike.
"The music is superb," remarked director Sharon Wyrembelski, "the story creative and touching, as the dancing brings a smile to your face as your own toes begin to move. I am positive that this musical is going to become one of the 'great ones'," she stated.
HONK! is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms.

I love the way he arranged his thoughts and all the articles he wrote resonates with me. But of all the articles I read, this one below made more magic in my soul. It is deep and worth your time.
Can I take a minute to visit the minds of the kings and queens that,
Mr Luther King dreamed for?
A few minutes to speak to the future that Mrs Rosa Parks held that front seat for?
The same folk the Mr Malcolm X hoped he could use his fists to fight free for?
They fought for us,
And thought for us to be respected as a body of one people,
We needed composure in the free fall, to unite as a body of equals.
Because we were cast as slaves, struck with the same stone.
We were all niggers by the same right,
So why do we behave like we ain't from the same home?
Ready to kill a young man because his post doesn't go to the same code,
Performing our own apartheid because our skins don't resemble the same tones.
We are ebony kings and queens, born from great thrones.
But we forget that we are royals,
That we have the riches of a kingdom in our veins.
Crafted from the soils of a great land, we have the ancestry of sovereigns in our DNA.
We are the sons and daughters of empires, but our minds have been tainted.
Where Parks, King and X fought for fruition in the black community,
We've achieved mass division because we lack unity.
We don't hear the lash and cracks of the whip, we didn't see that era in history,
But we are still divided and conquered in our mindsets,
Because we still have silly debates such as dark chicks versus light chicks.
Like we are still blinded by the eyes of colonialism,
And I'm a culprit but we still fuck around with these negative colloquialisms...
Are you listening... my niggers / niggas?
Don't get it twisted, I ain't saying follow my virtues,
but before we can overcome collective grief, we need to overcome individual hurdles.
We are the fruit of Africa.
Produce of the Horn.
Children of the tribes, stars plotted across the vast dark skies.
We don't realise how much talent we harbour,
The magnificent gifts and traits from our forefathers.

Relocation ComedyI had my final meeting with the relocation people today. They really turned the screws on me. I said that it didn't look like $30US per day wouldn't be enough for a rental car. They gave me $60CAN, but I have to not rent a Hummer. They screwed me over by only giving me 2 flights home instead of 3. I guess this means I am leaving.
Always right,

Erin Go Bragh? Hard Brexit and Invisible Border in Northern IrelandTuesday, 25 July 2017 09:15

EPOS Insights
Prime Minister Theresa May have already made it clear, many months ago, that United Kingdom is going for a hard Brexit. Among many other issues that this event is going to boost or create, one of the most challenging is the future management of the unique land border between the European Union and the Great Britain, that is situated on the Irish island. What is going to happen in Northern Ireland? How will Belfast react to and manage Brexit? In the following exclusive article for EPOS, Giovanbattista Varricchio takes stock of the situation, focusing on post-Brexit possible scenarios

We are at the eve of the referendum on Scotland independence, which will take place on Thursday, 18th September 2014. On the ballot paper, one simple question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?". The voters are called to answer 'Yes' or 'Not'. Quintin Oliver, who ran the successful YES Campaign in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement poll in Northern Ireland, is the advisor of Better Together, the leading organisation representing the parties, organisations, and individuals campaigning for a 'No vote' to the Scottish independence. In this illuminating article, the northern-Irish lobbyist and activist has drawn the picture of the current situation in Scotland at the dawn of the referendum, explaining clearly what might happen in both a 'Yes' or 'Not' winning
