Mirabai (also known as Meerabai, Mira, Meera) is the most well known of the women bhakti (Hindu devotional) saints of India. According to tradition, this 16th-century royal devotee of Krishna was born in Merta in Rajasthan in the kingdom of Marwar and dedicated to Krishna from childhood, but married into the royal family of Mewar in Chittor, most say against her will. She refused to behave as a woman of her caste and class was required to do and instead fearlessly danced and sang for her Lord in the public space of the temple and kept company with holy men and people from all walks of life. The rana, the ruler of Mewar (identified variously as her husband, her father-in-law, or her brother-in-law), tried to stop her, in many accounts repeatedly trying to kill her for these transgressions. Most famously, he sent her a cup of poison in the guise of holy water, but she remained unharmed and undeterred. Ultimately, she departed to become a wandering religious leader, reportedly traveling to holy places associated with Krishna, including Vrindavan (the land of his youthful incarnation) and Dwarka (the capital of the mature Krishna's kingdom), where she ultimately merged with his image. Though admired by devotees of many different branches of devotional Hinduism, she remains formally unaffiliated and is explicitly rejected by the followers of Vallabhacarya. If she is said to have a guru at all, she is most often associated with the extremely low-caste leatherworker saint Raidas (also known as Ravidas, Rohidas). She is known not only for her story, but also for the devotional songs of love and longing she is said to have composed. A multitude of stories have circulated about her as her fame spread across India, and an immense body of songs are attributed to her, with those that might have been composed by this individual woman inseparable from those composed by others in subsequent centuries in her name and style. She has come to inspire many, her popularity crossing the borders of caste, language, religion, culture, and time.
Hawley and Juergensmeyer 2004 provides the most comprehensive general introduction in English to Mirabai and the scholarship around her. For a concise summary of her life, poetry, and appeal, see Martin 2007, and for a very brief introduction, see Tharu and Lalita 1991. Kishwar and Vanita 1989 also provides a broad and accessible introduction, with an emphasis on the norms for women that Mirabai rejects and the place of women saints in bhakti (Hindu devotion). For the broadest introduction to her poetry in translation, see Alston 1980, though the author uncritically follows Hindi academic literature shaped by nationalist and Rajput formulations of the late 19th century in his introduction to her life (see History and Historiography). In contrast, Mukta 1994 situates Mirabai primarily within low-caste communities and oral traditions. See Martin 1995 for a more extended comprehensive study of the saint, and Hawley 2005 for detailed analysis of current scholarship and selected issues.

Meet Dr. Jamal A Khan who treats cancer patients with the miraculous immunotherapy treatment
December 10: When their patients are cured, doctors feel great joy. Yet there are no limits to anyone's joy at the news that a person in the terminal stage of cancer has been cured. Meet Dr. Jamal A. Khan, an MBBS, MD who specializes in immunotherapy and regards the happiness of his patients as more valuable than diamonds.
Satpal, a Haryana resident, was diagnosed with GBM grade 4 cancer. Satpal sought treatment from numerous doctors and travelled from one location to another, but in vain. He was depressed and tormented because there was no hope left. Satpal met Dr. Jamal A Khan, as if life had something else in store for him. Dr. Khan treated Satpal's grade 4 cancer using a strict treatment protocol.
"Today, I'm fine and living a normal life, doing all of the housework myself." His medicine is excellent, and I am grateful to Dr. Jamal Khan for treating me and giving me a new lease on life," Satpal said.
Another patient, Mangala Pandey, who had tongue cancer, stated, "I went to many doctors and spent lakhs of rupees, but it was useless." I had the impression that death was standing right in front of me. I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Jamal A Khan, who treated my tongue cancer and now I live a healthy and normal life."
Consider the case of Mamoon Parvez, a cancer patient from Bangladesh who came to India after visiting several other countries for treatment. "I was very depressed and had given up hope of ever living." When I met Dr. Jamal A Khan, he restored my faith in humanity, and I am now living a happy life."
Dr. Jamal A. Khan stated to his patients, staff members, and doctors at his Denvax Clinic, "Cancer Immunotherapy treatment is simple and has no side effects." "In this method, the original base of the patient's blood cells is changed in the laboratory, allowing them to return to the patient's body and fight cancer cells."
Dr. Khan is a successful cancer immunotherapy specialist who has treated thousands of patients with this method over the last two decades.
"His mentor has received the world's most prestigious award, the Nobel Prize, for the discovery of the Cancer Immunotherapy treatment," Dr. Khan said. Few people worldwide use this method to treat cancer patients."
Dr. Khan's clinic has spread throughout India, and his patients can now be found in every state. Dr. Khan was given numerous opportunities to travel to developed countries and conduct research, but he turned them all down.
"I like India and want to live here until the day I die." "My country requires me, and I consider it my duty to serve my fellow Indians," Dr. Khan stated.

Rainbow Symbolism
Rainbows in Ancient Mythology

Rainbows in Dreams
Rainbow Symbols Today
Who wouldn't love spotting a rainbow in the sky? Its beautiful burst of colors is surely breathtaking, exuding an air of mystery as it magically shows up on the horizon. As soon as a rainbow appears, you can expect people to pause and admire its beauty. It can bring a smile to the saddest of people and light up just about anyone's mood.
While some may see rainbows as nothing but an optical illusion, no one can deny their elusive beauty. They've also come to symbolize different things, from new beginnings and feelings of hope to peace and equality. Read on to learn more about what rainbows mean when used in different contexts.
Rainbows are a natural phenomenon, that appear after a storm or heavy rain. While they may look solid, these beautiful arcs are caused by the reflection of sunlight on water droplets. Here are some of the most common meanings associated with rainbows.
Hope – Rainbows appear in the sky after a thunderstorm, signifying the end of a bad period and the look towards a new chapter. This has made rainbows a popular symbol of hope.
Promise – In the Bible, a rainbow appears after the flood as a promise from God that the period of flooding was over and that a new day was beginning. Christians often view the rainbow as God's promise to humankind.
New Beginnings – A rainbow appears after thunderstorms, which are chaotic and disruptive weather events that signify a negative stage in life. Rainbows signal the end of these periods and the start of a new beginning. This meaning of rainbows also links to the story of Noah and the Ark, where the rainbow signals the end of flooding and the wiping out of humanity.
Diversity in Sexuality – In recent years, the rainbow has been adopted by LGBTQ activists as a symbol of the gay rights movement. In this context, the rainbow represents diversity in sexuality, as well as the pride, defiance, and hope for a better future for this group.
Good Luck – Irish legend has it that pots of gold can be found at the end of rainbows. According to the legend, leprechauns hide their gold at the end of rainbows, and if you happen to come across such gold, you are free to take some for yourself. This has made the rainbow a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
Equality and Peace – The symbolism of equality comes from the fact that rainbows are made up of several colors. While each color is unique and individual, they can work together to create a beautiful whole.
Impermanence – Rainbows don't last long in the sky, quickly dispersing after showing themselves. This associates them with impermanence and transience, making them a reminder of seizing the day and making the most of the time you have.
The Deity Heimdallr next to Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge. PD-US.
In ancient mythology, rainbows were often referenced due to the mystery and beauty they represented. While some mythologies had deities who personified the rainbow, others saw rainbows as a bridge between humans and the gods.
For example, in the Norse religion, a burning rainbow bridge known as Bifrost is believed to connect the Earth with Asgard, thehome of the gods. It is said that only gods and those killed in battle could use the bridge. This is similar to other world myths that believe that only virtuous people can cross the rainbow bridge to heaven.
Iris Carrying Water of the River Styx. PD-US.
Rainbows play a different role in Greek mythology, where Iris served as a rainbow goddess. She was considered a messenger of the gods, creating a link between humanity and the gods. She was known to relay messages about war and retribution and carried a winged staff on her journeys.
Another interesting interpretation of rainbows can be seen in Australian Aboriginal mythology. It's believed that humans, animals, and eternal beings like the Rainbow Serpent are part of the Dreaming, which refers to an infinite period that starts with the world's creation. Australian Aboriginal tribes call the serpent different names, but it is consistently known to be the creator of the world and all living beings.
Many poems and books refer to rainbows and their elusive beauty. For instance, in Stephen King's 1985 novel It, one of the characters sees a rainbow, commenting that they'll find gold at its end. Some have interpreted the symbolic journey towards the end of the rainbow as a futile goal, particularly because of the belief that tricking leprechauns into giving up their treasure was virtually impossible.
In Wordsworth's 1802 classic My Heart Leaps Up, the poet records the joy that the sight of a rainbow brings. In his poem, he used a rainbow to symbolize the joys of his youth, which he expects to be with him until he grows older. He also speaks about how it would feel to lose such joy, living a life that is not worth living.
In movies, rainbows have been used to symbolize a wide variety of themes and emotions. One memorable use of this symbol is in the Wizard of Oz, where the protagonist Dorothy sings to the tune of Over the Rainbow.
In this iconic scene, she imagines a beautiful place where her dreams can finally come true. Interestingly, this scene was almost deleted before the movie was launched, but the film's associate producer put his foot down and said that the song needed to stay. Years later, it has cemented its status as a cultural touchstone and became one of the greatest songs of the 20th Century.
If you dream about rainbows, you're probably wondering what it means. Since rainbows may come in different shapes and sizes in the world of dreams, it's fascinating to note the wide variety of thoughts and feelings that they could symbolize. However, rainbows are usually interpreted as something positive in most dreams. Since it is usually associated with the legendary pot of gold, it is usually interpreted as a sign of hope, good luck, and fulfillment of a wish.
Other interpretations claim that a rainbow may represent your plans. If you feel a sense of calmness and confidence while staring at a rainbow in your dream, it might mean that luck is on your side. However, if you see a fading rainbow, it might mean that you might not get the thing you're hoping for. The good news is having such a dream doesn't mean that something will never happen – it might just mean that you'll have to work extra hard for it.
If you dream of a rainbow that's missing some colors, it might have a special meaning as well. Whatever color is missing might correspond to something that you're currently missing in your life. For example, since the color red symbolizes passion, dreaming of a rainbow that lacks the color red might mean that you are living a life without passion. Conversely, if one of the colors in the rainbow appears brighter than the rest, it might mean that your life is brimming with that particular quality.
Interestingly, it is said that walking on a rainbow is one of the rarest dreams that one could get. Some believe that this is a major source of inspiration as it is a sign that you should be pursuing greater adventures.
Today, different rainbow symbols are used to represent hope and solidarity. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, people began hanging banners containing rainbows and short inspirational messages. This trend started in Europe when a series of lockdowns were implemented to help curb the spread of the virus.
Rainbows have also maintained their popularity as a symbol in flags. It dates as far back as the German Peasants' War in the 16th Century, where rainbow flags were used as one of the symbols of the revolution. In the 1961 Peace movement in Italy, people also held similar multi-colored flags as they marched down the streets to protest nuclear weapons.
However, the rainbow flag has become a distinct symbol of the LGBTQA+ community. While people often associate the different colors with the diversity of the gay community, each color actually represents something. Red stands for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for peace, and purple for spirit. The original flag had eight colors, but turquoise and pink were removed to ramp up the production of the Pride flag.
The popularity of the rainbow flag as a symbol of the gay community started when Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in the US, was assassinated on November 27, 1978. Since then, the symbol has become more visible, and was eventually considered the official symbol of the LGBTQA+ community.
While rainbows may mean different things in different contexts, no one can deny the inspiration and sense of joy that it brings. As an ever-popular symbol of hope and pride, it will always hold a special place in communities that are looking to foster a sense of unity among its people as well as individuals who remain hopeful of what the future may bring.

The man who helped to build Mojácar
Richard Torné meets the American who played a key role in creating Almería's biggest property hotspot.
A pioneer developer, ardent Hispanophile, writer and explorer, Ric Polansky has enjoyed as colourful a life as a character in a Jack London novel.
In the resort of Mojácar, in the southeast Spanish region of Almería, he is best known for being a trailblazing developer who, with his brother Paul, built the first houses along the Mojácar coastline in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In those days the nearby hilltop village was a backwater and the beach had little more than a few buildings, abandoned farmhouses and a dirt track.
Donning a distinctive red boina (beret) of the Pamplona bull run, he greets me with a warm smile. At 73, he is less active than he used to be. "Sometimes I've been locked up in my house for weeks – it's penance I'm paying now for an earlier life," he jokes.
With a gravelly drawl reminiscent of Orson Welles and a hulking frame to match, he could be a dead ringer for compatriot Ernest Hemingway. The comparison is not entirely fortuitous. "When you grew up in Iowa, the most exciting thing in the whole world was reading stories about Hemingway."
His love affair with Spain, at least in the beginning, was driven more by necessity than a desire to emulate the famous author. Caught up in the maelstrom of the Vietnam War, he tried to escape the draft as a young man, but dodged the bullet only after he failed the physical.
When Paul, who was setting up a construction business in Mojácar, encouraged him to come over he did not need asking twice and with his wife Karen he sold up and emigrated in 1969, becoming one of the few Americans who settled in this part of the world at the time.
He joined Paul's business and before long began selling land. "About $1,000 would buy you about 800 square metres," says Ric.
Soon after, he set up his own construction business. His big break came when package holidays started taking off from Birmingham, thanks to the company Horizon Holidays. "It perked up the joint," he nods.
Mojácar's rise was also due to the visionary mayor Jacinto Alarcón, who was instrumental in preventing the shrinking village from being assimilated by the nearby municipality of Turre and badgered Franco's government into building the luxury Parador hotel in 1965. "He was a wonderful man who took nothing for himself," says Ric, although he admits Alarcón was not averse to changing planning proposals if it would help to put Mojácar on the map.
Constrained by the geography, the old hilltop village or pueblo remained largely untouched, but the barren coastline was a different proposition. "Thirty apartments became 3,000 and it went on from there."

Ric soon realised that the best business deals were struck on the street, mixing with the locals in bars, and he rapidly earned a reputation for being a hard but fair employer. "If you were the one laying the electricity cables and it went wrong, I would go to you to fix it that day," he says. "Otherwise you would never work for me again." He sussed out when suppliers were trying to pull a fast one and recognised the importance of adopting a hands-on approach. "If there was a truckload of marble, the fifth pallet was unpolished.
There was always something like that, like [poor-quality] light switches or cement. "The architects were also a problem because they'd put in sewage pipes no bigger than this [he makes a circle with his thumb and forefinger]. You had to be on site, get up at six or seven, have a big tea and plan your day."
Diplomacy was often the best approach with a recalcitrant workforce. "I'd go to the building site in the evening with a crate of beer just as they were about to leave. They were very much like children: if you got mad at them, you wouldn't see them for years." His tact was also due in part to the fact that many labourers carried knives. "In the early days, if you walked by and turned your back on them they wouldn't think twice about waving it in your face." On the one occasion he got involved in a bar brawl, he kept a cool head. "I stayed and bought him a drink and we talked. It's just the way they were."
If it all sounds a bit like the Wild West, Ric does not let on, perhaps because he experienced bigger hardships while exploring the Amazon in search of the gold of El Dorado, or surviving a sleet storm in the frozen Alaskan wilderness. One lucky escape involved a snake that bit a man while sailing up the Amazon river. "It was a bit of a mess, but we saved the guy's life," he says.
Notwithstanding his adventurous spirit, the allure of South American gold was not enough to keep Ric away from Spain. He ended up buying the land on what became one of Mojácar's most sought-after residential areas, La Paratá, which he describes as "a little Shangri-La", and built close to 50 houses. Those properties remain, the largest fetching about €550,000 on the market today.
I ask if he was tempted to join the rush to develop the Costa del Sol, but despite sniffing out a few possibilities he was put off by the red tape. "I decided that this [Mojácar] was the place and the devil I knew."
One of the projects built by his brother Paul – who now lives in Serbia – was the nine-hole Cortijo Grande golf course, which opened in the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountains in 1976. The 2008 economic crash together with financial and legal disputes over land sounded the course's death knell. "It's locked in one of those banking Gordian knots, but business here has always been a rollercoaster of either famine or feast."
Ric eventually found enough time in his hectic schedule to build his own "pad" in the mid 1980s, a stunning seafront villa called Casa La Mena, where he and Karen still live. Designed by the late British-American architect Geoff rey Challan, the €2 million property is perched on a narrow hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, offering unrestricted views of the ocean thanks to panoramic windows set in a Hollywoodesque, split-level lounge.
"Challan had lots of innovative ideas," he says. One was knowing the importance of positioning a building according to the sun's orientation. Consequently, the fi ve-bedroom house is never too hot or too cold, despite not having central heating or air conditioning. A sumptuous pool sheltered from the sea – another Challan touch – is the first feature that greets visitors. The glamorous property became the centre of attention for the glitterati.
"Director David Lean [of Lawrence of Arabia fame] was going to rent it from me because he was going to make a film." Lean managed to shoot a few rushes and to select locations in Almería, but he died in 1991 before the film could get under way.
Years later, the house and pool were used to shoot a video for the British band Queen and for a lingerie catalogue. "I was in the States at the time, so I missed it, but my son and his friends made sure they didn't!"
Now it is easy to see why tourists find Mojácar such an attractive proposition. The relatively unspoilt coastal town that Ric helped to build with the older and more picturesque hilltop village is within easy access of two airports (in Almería to the south and Murcia in the north) and has a variety of excellent restaurants and bars.
Mojácar's success is reflected in the size of the population, which has swollen from 1,800 in 1970 to more than 6,300 in 2018, according to the latest figures. Almost 3,000 are foreigners, with British expats making up just over half that number.
Forty-odd years ago, Mojácar's bohemian appeal attracted mostly bon vivants and artists, including the actor Dennis Hopper, the Colombian concert pianist Enrique Arias and the Queen's former private secretary Sir Michael Adeane. "He was an easy guy to spot because he was always running around in a suit and tie when it was 115 degrees outside," Ric laughs.
"Everyone was trying to outdo themselves," he adds with a wink, hinting that in the carefree atmosphere of the late 1970s everything was game and that racy parties were a regular feature in the social calendar.
Mulling over the future of Mojácar, more than half a century since he arrived, he is adamant that there are "still many cowboy builders around" but maintains that building today "has improved a lot". Property buyers also have far greater choice today compared with four decades ago, but he is critical of the new British settlers who avoid learning the local language. "They will never get to know the people who are serving them," he says wistfully.

The Great God Pan
Lyt med-app
Allerede lyttet til
Lyttere2
Arthur Machen (3 March 1863 – 15 December 1947) was the pen-name of Arthur Llewellyn Jones, a Welsh author and mystic of the 1890s and early 20th century. He is best known for his influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction. His novella The Great God Pan has garnered a reputation as a classic of horror, with Stephen King describing it as "Maybe the best [horror story] in the English language."
The Great God Pan is a horror and fantasy novella by Welsh writer Arthur Machen. Machen was inspired to write The Great God Pan by his experiences at the ruins of a pagan temple in Wales. What would become the first chapter of the novella was published in the magazine The Whirlwind in 1890. Machen later extended The Great God Pan and it was published as a book alongside another story, "The Inmost Light", in 1894. The novella begins with an experiment to allow a woman named Mary to see the supernatural world. This is followed by an account of a series of mysterious happenings and deaths over many years surrounding a woman named Helen Vaughan. At the end, the heroes confront Helen and force her to kill herself. She undergoes a series of supernatural transformations before dying and she is revealed to be the child of Mary and the god Pan.
On publication, it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its implied sexual content, and the novella hurt Machen's reputation as an author.
Among the most significant works Arthur Machen: The Bowmen, The Great God Pan, The Three Impostors, The Hill of Dreams, The White People, The Green Round and many more.

Teaching Overseas: A Cultural Challenge

Fascinating insight into teaching practice from Dr Jennifer Hill, a lecturer who had a six-month tour of Iraq with the Royal Engineers as a Territorial Army officer: But Dr Hill's time in Iraq was not just about serving Queen and country. Working with a completely different set of students made her a better teacher, she believes.

Do Jews Run Hollywood?
In reaction to an Anti-Defamation league poll which showed last month that only 22% of people now believe that Jews run the movie and television industries, compared with 47% in 1964, Joel Stein (who is Jewish) protested in the Los Angeles Times:"I have never been so upset by a poll in all my life…Jews totally run Hollywood." Citing a recent open letter placed in the Los Angeles Times by heads of the eight major studios demanding that the Screen Actors Guild sign its contract, Stein noted that all eight of the studio heads who signed the letter were Jewish. In his search for non-Jewish Hollywood executives, Stein found that,"the Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish." Stein called up Abel Foxman, chairman of the Anti-Defamation league, to discuss the implications of the poll. Foxman argued, "That's a very dangerous phrase, 'Jews control Hollywood.' What is true is that there are a lot of Jews in Hollywood." Stein believes "Foxman would prefer people say that many executives in the industry 'happen to be Jewish,' as in 'all eight major film studios are run by men who happen to be Jewish.'"

Are telecom carriers ready to bargain?
by Dan O'Shea |
Supposedly, we now live in a bargainer's economy, where the price of just about everything is negotiable as retailers, banks, contractors, homeowners and everyone else seem willing to bend just to make a sale. Does that include telecom service providers? The Wall Street Journal has a story suggesting that AT&T, Time Warner Cable and others may be receptive to customers who try to pursue unadvertised discounts and other deals. It's awfully nice of service providers to be understanding during difficult economic times, but, of course, they are just trying to hold onto their customers during what's also a tough time for them.
However, will their new willingness to make a deal come back to haunt them at some point? How do you set up a bargaining table and then determine when to dismantle it again? Service providers' readiness to make deals will teach their customers that there is always a deal to be made-either that, or customers will keep switching to the next best deal. Maybe that's the way it should be, but for telcos at least, it will take some getting used to.
The WSJ story features the experience of AT&T customer Alan Weinkrantz, who is a prolific blogger and industry consultant, and probably a lot more savvy than your average customer, but once the word gets out...

Can you sketch the graph of y = f(x)? From that it's pretty easy to get the graph of y = g(x); namely any part of the graph of f that is below the x-axis will be reflected across the x-axis. Let's start with that.
Mark44 said:
Ok so I understand part a then, because it makes sense that the f(x) values can no longer be negative. So for the next part I know that a function isn't defined when there's a sharp turn, or vertical tangent. But how do I apply that to the problem?
At the places where the graph of f crosses the x-axis, when you reflect the negative portion back across the axis, you're going to have cusps (sharp corners). To represent this idea in text, at a place where the graph looks like this-- \ -- after you reflect the lower part, the graph will look sort of like this-- V-- and you have a cusp.
In particular, this is going to happen at x = -2. It's not going to happen at x = 1.

Renfrew High has received a glowing report after inspectors from Education Scotland visited the school.
The report, published this week, outlines the schools key strengths, which include the strong leadership of school improvement to build a positive culture for all young people and the commitment of all staff to promoting positive and nurturing relationships across the school.
The school was also praised for its approach to looking after pupil's wellbeing and ensuring that their needs are met. Another key strength noted by inspectors was the very positive environment within the Pupil Support area for young people, especially those with additional needs.
Renfrew High also saw an improvement in the number of pupils achieving Higher passes and the inspectors, who visited in February, said: "The headteacher and his senior team are highly committed to driving the school forward. The strong vision of the headteacher in putting young people at the centre of the work of the school has been an on-going focus for school leaders and is driving the agenda for improvement."
Headteacher Billy Burke said: "We are delighted with the report which shows the strong commitment of staff, pupils, and parents to work together towards ongoing improvement. The increasingly positive attainment and achievement of our learners was recognised, but most pleasingly for me was the recognition for how the wellbeing of our young people is at the heart of everything we do.
"We believe strongly that you can't learn and achieve if you're not at your best.
"It also noted how positively young people think about their school and that they really believe in our values of care, fairness, respect and trust.
"I would like to thank all members of the school community for the positive part they play in our success, and we now look forward to continuing to drive improvement for our young people."
Education and Children's Services convener, Councillor Jim Paterson, who visited the school this week said: "It's clear from the inspection report and also on visiting Renfrew High, how important the wellbeing of the young people who come here is taken.
"This is hugely important in ensuring that they have the most positive start in life possible to able to fulfil their potential.
"There have also been improvements in attainment across the board and I have no doubt that the school will continue to go from strength to strength."
The Education Scotland inspection team said that it was confident the school would continue to improve and there are no other visits planned in connection with this inspection.

Help us accomplish our mission - we can't do it without you
Why should you donate to the Native History Association? Our organization formed in 2012, and since then we have:
Identified a previously unkown Trail of Tears segment located on federal property in Rutherford County - the Old Jefferson Site.
Discovered the last standing structure of Nashville's first bridge - the 1823 Nashville Toll Bridge, used by the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears.
Conducted free public tours of the Sellars Farm, Old Jefferson, and Mound Bottom sites.
Given free presentations and participated in programs at local schools and universities, and several community organizations.
Met with representatives of several local governments to promote the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
Spent hundreds of hours researching and visiting Native American historical sites in Middle Tennessee.
Developed this web site and our Facebook page.
We have plans and ambitions to do more. For example, we want to continue to help promote the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail in Tennessee. We want to expand our web site (which we develop and maintain ourselves), and develop print and other electronic media publications, as well as educational software.
If you think what the Native History Association has accomplished so far is worthwhile and you'd like to see us continue these efforts, please consider making a donation. Any amount is sincerely appreciated.

The energy bandgap of an insulator is large enough to prevent electron excitation and electrical conduction. But in addition to charge, an electron also has spin, and the collective motion of spin can propagateand so transfer a signalin some insulators. This motion is called a spin wave and is usually excited using magnetic fields. Here we show that a spin wave in an insulator can be generated and detected using spin-Hall effects, which enable the direct conversion of an electric signal into a spin wave, and its subsequent transmission through (and recovery from) an insulator over macroscopic distances. First, we show evidence for the transfer of spin angular momentum between an insulator magnet Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 and a platinum film. This transfer allows direct conversion of an electric current in the platinum film to a spin wave in the Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 via spin-Hall effects4-11. Second, making use of the transfer in a Pt/Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 /Pt system, we demonstrate that an electric current in one metal film induces voltage in the other, far distant, metal film. Specifically, the applied electric current is converted into spin angular momentum owing to the spin-Hall effect in the first platinum film; the angular momentum is then carried by a spin wave in the insulating Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 layer; at the distant platinum film, the spin angular momentum of the spin wave is converted back to an electric voltage. This effect can be switched on and off using a magnetic field. Weak spin damping in Y 3 Fe 5 O 12 is responsible for its transparency for the transmission of spin angular momentum. This hybrid electrical transmission method potentially offers a means of innovative signal delivery in electrical circuits and devices.

KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) Gained 8.66% In One Month
Isaac Mitchell
KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) has a beta value of 1.28 and has seen 1.69 million shares traded in the recent trading session. The company, currently valued at $15.90B, closed the recent trade at $17.97 per share which meant it lost -$0.1 on the day or -0.55% during that session. The KEY stock price is -50.81% off its 52-week high price of $27.10 and 15.08% above the 52-week low of $15.26. If we look at the company's 10-day average daily trading volume, we find that it stood at 13.52 million shares traded. The 3-month trading volume is 10.89 million shares.
KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) trade information
Sporting -0.55% in the red today, the stock has traded in the red over the last five days, with the highest price hit on Monday, 01/23/23 when the KEY stock price touched $17.97 or saw a rise of 1.16%. Year-to-date, KeyCorp shares have moved 3.73%, while the 5-day performance has seen it change -0.61%. Over the past 30 days, the shares of KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) have changed 8.66%. Short interest in the company has seen 18.03 million shares shorted with days to cover at 1.47.
Wall Street analysts have a consensus price target for the stock at $19.53, which means that the shares' value could jump 7.99% from the levels at last check today. The projected low price target is $16.00 while the price target rests at a high of $24.00. In that case, then, we find that the latest price level in today's session is -33.56% off the targeted high while a plunge would see the stock lose 10.96% from the levels at last check today.
KeyCorp (KEY) estimates and forecasts
Figures show that KeyCorp shares have outperformed across the wider relevant industry. The company's shares have gained 0.17% over the past 6 months, with this year growth rate of 10.42%, compared to 8.90% for the industry.

Revenue growth from the last financial year stood is estimated to be 0.50%.
12 analysts offering their estimates for the company have set an average revenue estimate of $1.96 billion for the current quarter. 8 have an estimated revenue figure of $1.93 billion for the next quarter concluding in Mar 2023. Year-ago sales stood $1.95 billion and $1.74 billion respectively for this quarter and the next, and analysts expect sales will grow by 0.50% for the current quarter and 10.80% for the next.
If we evaluate the company's growth over the last 5-year and for the next 5-year period, we find that annual earnings growth was 26.70% over the past 5 years. Earnings growth for 2023 is a modest 108.60% while over the next 5 years, the company's earnings are expected to increase by 0.72%.
KEY Dividends
KeyCorp is expected to release its next earnings report on April 20 this year, and investors are excited at the prospect of better dividends despite the company's debt issue. The forward dividend is 0.82 at a share yield of 4.54%. The company's dividend yield has gone up over the past 12 months.
KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY)'s Major holders
Insiders own 0.36% of the company shares, while shares held by institutions stand at 85.95% with a share float percentage of 86.26%.

Cancer Burden Changing for HIV Patients Through 2030
HealthDay News — According to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research in Washington, DC, HIV patients will likely start to mirror other Americans when it comes to the kinds of cancers they develop as HIV becomes a lifetime disease instead of a fatal disease.
Jessica Islam, MPH, a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and colleagues sought to understand how cancer might affect people with HIV through 2030.
The team analyzed information obtained from the HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, a collection of data from state HIV and cancer registries across the United States. The researchers estimated that 7909 cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2010 in individuals with HIV: 2719 were immune-related cancers that are common in AIDS patients, and 5190 were other types of cancer.
By 2030, the researchers predict, the number of cancer cases overall will decline to 6495, with an especially large decrease (to 710 cases) in the number of AIDS-related cancers.
Cases of Kaposi sarcoma are expected to drop but still remain higher than normal in HIV-positive people, Islam told HealthDay, while non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and cervical cancer rates are expected to reach normal levels in some age groups. Meanwhile, cases of other types of cancer are expected to increase, to 5794 cases.
"The aging of the HIV-positive population will result in certain cancers occurring more frequently," Islam said. "For example, as more HIV-positive men reach an age where prostate cancer becomes more common, the number of cases diagnosed will rise in that population."

Govan organisations receive £100,000 to help local people through coronavirus issues
Organisations working hard to help the Govan community fight coronavirus have now received a total of £100,000 to turbo-charge their efforts to deliver assistance to local people.
The funding from the Scottish Government has handed out by the recently-set up COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Funding Group which is made up of Linthouse, Govan and Elderpark housing associations and Govan Thriving Place along with four elected representatives from the Govan ward on Glasgow City Council.
All in a matter of weeks, the group was created, successfully applied for the funding, and issued the cash to the relevant organisations.
The total amount of money to be distributed is £200,000 and work is under way by the funding group to determine where the remaining £100,000 should be spent.
Key highlights of the work which the money will help deliver are:
Providing hot meals and food packs to the most vulnerable members of the community
Ensuring domestic abuse – widely recognised as increasing during the health emergency – is tackled
Support for young people and their families facing financial hardship through issuing of food vouchers and help in paying energy bills
A significant focus on ensuring people are digitally connected and not digitally excluded
Online classes on arts, heritage and wellbeing including creative writing, music and craft production
Focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on employment by seeking to mitigate its effects and equip people for the workplace.
Councillor Richard Bell of Govan Thriving Place said: "We have moved quickly to ensure this very welcome funding reaches the people in our community most affected by the health emergency. We know it will go a long way to easing the pressure and difficulties so many people are facing on a daily basis."
Irene Campbell, chief executive of Linthouse Housing Association, said: "It is vitally important to get this money to the organisations on the ground who are doing such an incredible job. We applaud their efforts and know full well how committed they are to our fantastic communities."
Fiona McTaggart, chief executive of Govan Housing Association, said: "In determining where this money should go we have tried to strike a balance between what is needed now by local people in terms of day-to-day living and how we can help mitigate the lasting effects of the coronavirus emergency which has huge implications for people's employment."
Gary Dalziel, chief executive of Elderpark Housing, added: "We are delighted to be making available the first £100,000 to various organisations whose commitment to fighting the effects of coronavirus is inspirational. From hot food deliveries to fighting isolation and much more, it represents an unprecedented community-wide effort to make a real difference."
Located in the heart of Govan at Govan Road, Unlock Employment has been helping people find a pathway into work for over two years.
Now it is to receive £5,000 to support its often life-changing work from the funding secured by the COVID-19 Temporary Emergency Funding Group.
Unlock Employment receives strong support from Govan Housing Association. It delivers the 'Govan Jobs Match' initiative which is a partnership approach to reduce unemployment in Govan and is funded by Govan Thriving Place.
Like all organisations with a place of business, social distancing will be a challenge when restrictions are gradually eased – especially as people seeking employment often call into the premises.
There is also the issue of people being reluctant to call into Unlock Employment's office due to an understandable fear of the virus during the health emergency.
The money Unlock Employment is receiving will pay for the implementation of social distancing requirements in the office and an additional member of staff to work part-time – Samantha McDonald.
Gerry Keogh and Samantha McDonald of Unlock Employment
Importantly, computer tablets have also been purchased to help engage more fully with people. The tablets will help break down the digital poverty barrier - allowing Unlock Employment clients to access job searching and training opportunities.
Unlock Employment founder Gerry Keogh said: "We are delighted to receive this money which will go a long way to help us to continue the important work we do in Govan.
"The coronavirus pandemic has far-reaching implications for communities like Govan – not just currently but in the longer term. Jobs remain at risk and this, of course, has the potential to affect people's livelihoods. We are here to help the community overcome the challenges of the health emergency."
Currently, Unlock Employment has over 300 clients registered on the Govan Jobs Match programme and has helped over 100 find employment in the 12 months prior to the pandemic.
Gerry added: "At Unlock Employment, we know that looking for or getting back into work can be a difficult and confusing process, so we have a dedicated team of advisers who are there to provide help, advice and support to people. We can help individuals find a job, provide employment training, source learning and development courses and offer career advice."

Boris Johnson: How electrifying moment in parliament and fuming Tory MPs show toxicity towards PM is spreading throughout the party
Millions of people tuned in last week across various channels to watch the prime minister give an explanation of that party in No 10 on 20 May 2020. Today, people were no doubt watching to see how he would perform amid building rumours there could be a no-confidence vote against him triggered by his own backbenchers. As one Conservative political operative put it to me on Wednesday: "Johnson won support because he could reach a wider base of voters as the Heineken politician who polled better than the party, but now he is a drag anchor on colleagues so it really is a question of when not if."

(CTN News) – Earlier this year, GIGABYTE launched the G5 series gaming laptops in India as part of their global launch.
In addition, there were also models with Intel Core processors of the 11th generation, such as the GD, MD, and KD. In order to meet the needs of the users, the company has updated the G5 laptops with the 12th generation Core chipsets.
The latest offerings have different model numbers than the previous generation offerings, for instance, GE, ME, and KE compared with the 11th-generation Core variants that have the same model number.
The GIGABYTE G5 series laptops are equipped with a 15.6-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display that offers a maximum contrast ratio of 10,000:1. In addition, it offers a 144Hz refresh rate as well as a peak brightness of 300 nits.
In addition to the backlit keyboard, these laptops are furnished with a number pad that can be used for input. They are equipped with dual 2-watt speakers, dual-array microphones, and DTS:X Ultra 5.1 surround sound technology.
The GIGABYTE G5 series is powered by a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which is part of the Intel Core processor family.
There are three variants of the GE, ME, and KE that come with either NVIDIA RTX 3050, RTX 3050Ti, or RTX 3060 graphics cards installed on board.
There are sixteen gigabytes of RAM and 512 gigabytes of NVMe SSD storage in these laptops.
In addition to the two M.2 slots, there is also a swappable bay with capacity for up to 6TB, which can be used for storing data.
The laptops are equipped with WINDFORCE cooling technology that utilizes dual fans, five heat pipes, and four exhaust vents to ensure the laptops are kept cool.
GIGABYTE's G5 series laptops are powered by a 54WHrs battery unit, and the GE and ME models are configured with the ability to charge at 150W.
It is worth noting that the KE variant supports a charging speed of 180W.
There are a number of connectivity options available on the laptops, including WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, a USB Type-A port, a USB Type-C port, HDMI, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, among others
With a starting price of Rs 77,887, GIGABYTE's G5 gaming laptops are priced competitively.
Currently, they are available on Flipkart as well as in offline retail outlets across the country for purchase.
Is A gigabyte G5 good for gaming?
Performance. The Gigabyte G5 core specs mark it out as a laptop made entirely for gaming, because it uses the relatively old 10th Generation Intel Core i5-10500H CPU.
Don't get me wrong, this processor is still easily powerful enough to handle video editing, Photoshop and other pro-level apps.

Egyptian cuisine is characterized by dishes such as ful medames, mashed fava beans; kushari, a mixture of lentils, rice, pasta, and other ingredients; molokhiya, chopped and cooked bush okra with garlic and coriander sauce; and feteer meshaltet..
The weather in Hurghada is very pleasant with temperatures rarely dropping below 20°C. July and August are the warmest months to visit the resort, with temperatures reaching a hot and humid 30°C.
Astute students of Old Testament meteorology will know that while hailstorms are uncommon in Egypt, they are by no means unknown, and occur mainly in the winter near the Mediterranean coast.
Winters are mild and sunny, but nights are cool to cold, ranging from 5/7 °C (41/45 °F) in the central area (see Luxor) to 10/11 °C in the southern area (see Aswan), though the temperature in the coldest nights can approach freezing (0 °C or 32 °F).
Death Valley, California, USA The aptly named Furnace Creek currently holds the record for hottest air temperature ever recorded. The desert valley reached highs of 56.7 degrees in the summer of 1913, which would apparently push the limits of human survival.
Although Egypt sits in the north of the African continent it is considered by many to be a Middle Eastern country, partly because the main spoken language there is Egyptian Arabic, the main religion is Islam and it is a member of the Arab League.
The climate is generally extremely dry all over the country except on the northern Mediterranean coast which receives rainfall in winter. In addition to rarity of rain, extreme heat during summer months is also a general climate feature of Egypt although daytime temperatures are more moderated along the northern coast.
A) Clothes to wear in EgyptShorts or short skirts as you see fit (covering the knee, if possible)A couple of T-shirts.At least one shirt, blouse or smart looking top.One pair of long trousers.A veil/shawl (women only; you can buy it at most souvenir shops as well)Swimsuit or bathing suit.More items…•
Egypt is very safe to travel as long as you stick to certain destinations, work with a reputable local tour operator, and be a smart traveller.
Cairo has dry periods in February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November. On average, January is the most rainy. On average, August has the least rainy days.
The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when temperatures are cooler, but still pleasantly warm across the country. This makes exploring the busy streets of Cairo, visiting the Pyramids in the desert, and exploring ancient Pharaonic tombs more comfortable and enjoyable.
Commonly the days in Egypt are warm or hot and the nights are pleasantly mild or cool. The country only knows two seasons: a mild winter from November – April and a hot summer from May – October. The only differences between the seasons are variations in daytime temperatures and changes in prevailing winds.
Modern Standard ArabicEgypt/Official languages
Although there are variations within Egypt, the climate across the country is arid, meaning warm or hot temperatures all year-round with very little rain. Summers are hot – temperatures can reach a sizzling 50°C! … Rainfall is limited.
Both have a subtropical hot desert climate (BWh). Phoenix, Arizona is in or near the subtropical desert scrub biome whereas Cairo is in or near the subtropical desert biome. The annual average temperature is 1.2 °C (2.2°F) warmer. Average monthly temperatures vary by 8.2 °C (14.8°F) more in Phoenix, Arizona.
Egypt prohibits the sale and consumption of alcohol in public places or shops, with the exception of hotels and tourist facilities approved by the Minister of Tourism. While the law doesn't succeed in limiting the sale of alcohol exclusively to hotels, it stymies the growth of the alcohol industry.
The climate of Egypt is characterized by a hot season from May to October and a cool season from October to May. Extreme temperatures during both seasons are moderated by the prevailing northern winds. In the coastal region average annual temperatures range from a maximum of 37° C (99° F) to a minimum of 14° C (57° F).
Egypt, annual weather averages July is the hottest month in Cairo with an average temperature of 28°C (82°F) and the coldest is January at 13.5°C (56°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 14 in June. The wettest month is January with an average of 14.5mm of rain. .
