Should the University still provide students with email?
The University Information Management Systems Committee (UIMSC) decided at its meeting on Thursday 17 August 2006 to press ahead with the investigation of giving up hosting email for students. Instead, students will be asked to supply their email address on enrolment much as they supply postal and residential addresses and contact phone numbers now (which they should keep up to date through OSIS).
During a recent activity in the Division where students were asked to supply a contact email address, over 75% of 200+ participants nominated a non-UC student email address. Anecdotal evidence suggest many students don't use their UC student email address, and of course when students leave they lose the address anyway, so can't be contacted via their UC student email address for any follow-up communication.
It is expected that students who don't have email addresses will be encouraged to set one up with any one of a number of free services like GMail, Yahoo! or Hotmail.
Students who check their email on campus might also find they are using up their traffic cost quota where before when the University provided the email account traffic was free. A working party is to be established to address this and other issues that might arise, and to consult widely with stakeholders to inform progress on the proposal.


The just-announced Pixel Buds, that translates conversations almost in real time, would never have been possible without the recent improvements of Google Translate. What are the different models used behind Google Translate? How to understand and analyze the way Google Translate works? What's Natural Language Processing, and how to integrate it into a product?
For this talk, we'll have the chance to welcome an engineer directly working on Google Translate, Keith Stevens. Keith will talk about how different Neural Network-based Natural Language Processing models can provide solutions to real user needs. While some problems are not yet fully solved with these models, he'll also explain how they provide dramatically better answers for users needing automatic machine translation for text, document summarization, question answering, and even image captioning. Lastly, he'll cover at a high level how these models work, what's needed to train them, and some issues in deploying them within a product.
Keith has been working on Google Translate for the last 5 years. He currently focuses on building tools to understand why Translate makes its decisions and what the neural machine translation model is really learning.
Previously he's worked on crowdsourcing and internal infrastructure for translate after and researched semantic representations methods in a PhD program.

Early Education Child
MIAMI, FL (June 5th, 2013) — Centro Mater Child Care Services, Inc., a nonprofit organization with five facilities in Miami-Dade County that provides care and education for economically disadvantaged youths, announced it has received $30,000 from Peacock Foundation, Inc., a Miami-based institution that strives to enhance and promote the good health and well being of children, families and the underprivileged. The generous donation will be used toward partial scholarships for 75 preschoolers to attend Centro Mater's Wellness Summer Camp.
An extension of the organization's ongoing initiative that encourages healthy lifestyles among children and their families, Centro Mater's Wellness Camp will be offered at two of its sites, Centro Mater Child Care Center in Little Havana and Centro Mater West II in Hialeah Gardens. The 10-week summer camp—offered June 10 through August 16—will feature a strong emphasis on nutrition and physical fitness. In addition to servicing young minds through literacy, science and art programs, the camp will offer special, wellness-based activities including gardening, healthy cooking classes and daily physical fitness—based on curriculum developed by SPARK, a research-based, public organization that creates and helps to realize kid-focused wellness programs.
"We are extremely appreciative of Peacock Foundation, Inc.'s gracious support," said Executive Director of Centro Mater, Dr. J. Abilio Rodriguez. "For many disadvantaged youths, summer is a time of reduced stimulation and lack of guidance. But with the help of this donation, many of such children will now have the opportunity to be engaged both mentally and physically—actions that will positively influence their health and future."
Celebrating its 45th anniversary, Centro Mater Child Care Services, Inc. strives to aid economically disadvantaged families—nearly 1,200 annually—through quality child care and education. With a goal to help youths prosper and their parents and/or guardians become financially independent, Centro Mater caters to children 6 weeks to 12 years of age, and their families, through early child care, pre-school education, after school care, nutrition and development assistance, parent-focused instruction, and summer programs. The organization operates five centers in Miami-Dade County (Miami, Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens), all of which have received accreditations by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Peacock Foundation, Inc. aims to advance the good health and well being of children, families and underprivileged individuals in Southeast Florida through support of eligible nonprofit organizations. Since it was founded by Henry B. Peacock in 1947, the foundation has invested more than $34 million in charitable efforts.

There are quite a few animal cams on Opentopia. Pet shops, bird nests, zoos. Like, how about these manatees. There are several, but the most famous one is named Snooty. You can also see the staff in scuba gear, maintaining the tank. This is at the Parker Manatee Aquarium in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Snooty is so famous that he has his own Wikipedia entry. He's 65 years old, the oldest manatee in captivity, and one of the first recorded manatee births. Snooty is one of the few manatees that interacts with humans and he apparently still remember the voices of past trainers and the tricks they taught him.
Ironically, this cam, of a hairpin curve in Slovenia, stopped updating right after this picture. So we've been left wondering for weeks whether those cars managed to get out of each other's way in time.

Q: Generate a Daily Sequence/Identity in SQL Server is there's a better way to get a daily sequence # from this sql proc
  DECLARE @id int

 UPDATE daily_identity
 SET id = id + 1, @id = id + 1
 WHERE day = CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
 IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
     INSERT INTO daily_identity values ( CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112), 1 )
     SELECT @id = 1
 END IF

 SELECT @id AS 'id'

A: Looks like an accident waiting to happen without a very restrictive transaction wrapped around it.
EDIT: Emphasized that the Row_Number() calculation depends on numbering all of the rows.
How about always doing an INSERT and using the result to generate a displayed daily Id?  Do you see anything useful in this:
-- Create some sample data.
declare @Today as Date = GetDate()
declare @Stuff as Table ( Id Int Identity, DateAdded Date )
insert into @Stuff ( DateAdded ) values
    ( DateAdd( day, -3, @Today ) ),
    ( DateAdd( day, -2, @Today ) ), ( DateAdd( day, -2, @Today ) ),
    ( DateAdd( day, -1, @Today ) ), ( DateAdd( day, -1, @Today ) ),
    ( @Today ), ( @Today )

-- Display the test data.
select Id, DateAdded,
    Id - ( select Min( Id ) from @Stuff where DateAdded = S.DateAdded ) as DailyId,
    Row_Number() over ( partition by DateAdded order by Id ) as AlternativeDailyId,
    Convert( VarChar(8), DateAdded, 112 ) + '-' +
        Right( '000000' + Cast( Id - ( select Min( Id ) from @Stuff where DateAdded = S.DateAdded ) as VarChar(10) ), 6 ) as DateId
    from @Stuff as S

-- Add a row.
declare @NewRows as Table ( Id Int, DateAdded Date )
insert into @Stuff
    ( DateAdded )
    output inserted.Id, inserted.DateAdded into @NewRows
    values ( GetDate() )
-- Display the new Id.
--   Note the the   Row_Number()   calculation only works when all rows are counted.
select N.Id, N.DateAdded,
    N.Id - ( select Min( Id ) from @Stuff where DateAdded = N.DateAdded ) as DailyId, -- NB: References @Stuff.
    Row_Number() over ( partition by N.DateAdded order by N.Id ) as AlternativeDailyId,
    Convert( VarChar(8), N.DateAdded, 112 ) + '-' +
        Right( '000000' + Cast( Id - ( select Min( Id ) from @Stuff where DateAdded = N.DateAdded ) as VarChar(10) ), 6 ) as DateId
    from @NewRows as N
select *
    from (
        select S.Id, S.DateAdded,
            S.Id - ( select Min( Id ) from @Stuff where DateAdded = S.DateAdded ) as DailyId, -- NB: References @Stuff.
            Row_Number() over ( partition by S.DateAdded order by S.Id ) as AlternativeDailyId,
            Convert( VarChar(8), S.DateAdded, 112 ) + '-' +

            from @Stuff as S
        ) as X
    where Id in ( select Id from @NewRows )

Note that terrible things will happen if rows are deleted.  The daily Ids will recalculate in thrilling ways.

Q: Function Satisfying $f(x)=f(2x+1)$ If $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function and satisfies $f(x)=f(2x+1)$, then its not to hard to show that $f$ is a constant.
My question is suppose $f$ is continuous and it satisfies $f(x)=f(2x+1)$, then can the domain of $f$ be restricted so that $f$ doesn't remain a constant. If yes, then give an example of such a function.

A: Let $f$ have value $1$ on $[0,\infty)$ and value $0$ on $(-\infty,-1]$. This function is not constant (although it is locally constant), and satisfies $f(x)=f(2x+1)$ whenever $x$ is in its domain.

A: As in the previous proof of $f$ being constant on $\mathbb{R}$, define $g(x) = f(x-1)$, so that $g(x) = g(2x)$; the domains of $f$ and $g$ are just shifted versions of each other.
Certainly, if the domain of $g$ is small enough, say $[2,3]$, then $g$ can be any continuous function, because the domain contains no $x$ and $2x$ at the same time. A more interesting question is: how large can we make the domain so that $g$ will still not be constant? The answer to this is suggested by JDH's answer: if we remove only the single point 0, making the domain $\mathbb{R} \setminus \\{0\\}$, it is disconnected into two components which can independently have constant values.
How big can a domain be on which $g$ is not even locally constant? Remove an arbitrarily small interval around $0$. Take any non-constant continuous function $h$ which is periodic with unit period, and let $g(x) = h(\log_2 x)$. Then $g(x) = g(2x)$ for all $x$, and is continuous everywhere.

A: $f(x)=f(2x+1)$
$f(2^x-1)=f(2(2^x-1)+1)$
$f(2^x-1)=f(2^{x+1}-1)$
Note that the general solution is $f(x)=\Theta(\log_2(x+1))$ , where $\Theta(x)$ is any periodic function with unit period
So if the domain of $f$ can be restricted to $f:(-1,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ , then $f$ can be non-constant and can be $\Theta(\log_2(x+1))$ , where $\Theta(x)$ is any non-constant continuous periodic function with unit period


In my previous "Last post about Sacramento" I completely forgot to mention two books that I picked up at Beer's books while I was in town. So it turns out that I still have two more things to say about Sacramento.
The Images of America series can be found in museum gift shops across the country. It seems that they have a book full of historic photographs for nearly any topic that you can think of. So far, throughout my travels I picked up a total of 5 of these books. The main reason so far (especially in Salt Lake City) was my inability to find anything else to read.
In my more recent trips to Austin, Honolulu and Boston, I picked up over a dozen books and skipped out on the Images of America series for these places. Still, I wanted to take a moment to discuss "Sacramento's Capitol Park" because hidden beneath all of the photographs in the captions is a very interesting story about not only the construction of the Capitol itself but also the history of how Sacramento became the capital in the first place.
In the early days of California's history the capital moved several times. The first constitutional convention was held in Monterey (which was never a capital), from 1849 - 1851 the capital was located in San Jose, then it moved to Vallejo for two years, and finally made its way to Sacramento. Fires and floods caused the state legislature to move a handful of times until the magnificent Capitol building was finally built.
The construction of the Capitol was a long and difficult process. In fact, the original lead architect had a mental breakdown due to the stress of the job. Once it was opened many government agencies such as the library and treasury called the Capitol their home. Due to explosive growth of California over the next few decades several additional annex buildings were built.
Over the last 150 years the capitol has undergone some significant changes. In the 1970s there were even plans to replace the Capitol completely and instead have two skyscrapers in its place. I am glad that the classic architecture was preserved. The Capitol continues to serve as an iconic piece of architecture and gives a great sense of pride to Californians.

COLOMBIA: Bishops promote a "culture of encounter"
www.combonimissionaries.co.uk
Following the results of the Colombian Referendum on the Peace Agreements, held on October 2, with "No" emerging victorious (50.2% to 49.8% against) on a very low turnout (37.4% of registered voters), the Colombian episcopate have invited political leaders and the entire population to overcome polarization and divisions.
The statement of the Bishops' Conference of Colombia (CEC), which was presented by Bishop Elkin Fernando Alvarez Botero, Auxiliary of Medellin, Secretary General of CEC, said: "We invite everyone to an objective analysis of the reality, to respectful and fraternal dialogue, unity, generosity. Let us try to promote a 'culture of encounter' that prepares us to forgiveness and reconciliation."
In the statement, the Bishops also emphasize the intention of the Government to convene a national dialogue committee advocating peace. The Bishops reaffirmed the willingness of the Catholic Church to participate, according to its pastoral mission, in the design and development of initiatives to help eradicate the roots of violence.
Finally, they ask the national government, political and social leaders of the country, and FARC to leave aside group interests, to calmly study the results of the referendum, and to continue the dialogue.
The government has announced its decision to re-open talks with the rebel leadership. Government negotiators are already in Havana to confer with guerrilla commanders who have said they will remain "faithful" to the accord.
Thousands, many wearing white, have recently taken to the streets in cities across the country, marching in support of the peace accord. A senior U.S. State Department official said both sides are committed to dialogue: "They have made it clear they want the peace process to continue and they want to negotiate a settlement."
More than 220,000 have died, and 6 million people have been internally displaced by the civil war which began in 1964.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize – a surprise choice, and a token of support that came just days after voters rejected the peace deal he signed with the rebels.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee paid tribute to Santos for his efforts in reaching a peace accord with FARC – putting the process into motion and making persistent efforts to move it forward despite knowing it would be unpopular.
Santos said he was deeply honored by the prize. He accepted the prize on behalf of the Colombian people and, in particular, on behalf of the victims of the decades-long conflict.

The EMS Association was formed following a series of four EMS in Agriculture conferences held in Australia between 1999 and 2005. At the 4th conference held in Beechworth, Victoria, the majority of delegates called for the establishment of an entity to enable recognition of EMS as a discipline and coordinate the bi-annual conference and other activities.
The association was formalised by attendees at an open meeting held at the Rural Industries Research & Development Corporate in Canberra on 22 June 2006. Some of these people agreed to taking on the responsibilities of incorporating the association and getting the legal, financial and administrative tasks addressed.
The inaugural committee comprised people who had a long involvement and history with EMS in Australia. They came from diverse backgrounds, including industry, government, research and the private sector. Read their profiles.
17 groups provided feedback at the conference.
At present there is either an actual, or perceived lack, of market drivers, and/or benefits. This was also expressed in concerns about costs (either actual, or through time spent), and a fear of difficulty in developing EMSs. A lack of recognition for EMS users was blamed in some cases, with some groups stating that the community did not value NRM work done by farmers, and that there were few, if any industry or other EMS champions who were very visible. A lack of industry support and promotion was identified by some groups, while others expressed this as a lack of landholder motivation. The need for clear goals and distinct links between on-farm actions and catchment health/NRM improvements, in addition to a means by which to provide recognition for EMS were also seen as barriers. Importantly, a number of groups commented on the difficulties created by lack of linkages and easy communication about EMS, poor access to tools to support, little extension support, a lack of continuity in EMS support and funding, and finally, little or no analysis and reflection on EMS implementation to date, by agencies, funding bodies and industry groups.
Poor communication and information sharing, as well as critical analysis of work done so far were the most commonly nominated barriers.
the use industry groups could make of EMS to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable agriculture.
Communication and information sharing would appear to be an essential ingredient in the mix, and were seen to offer great possibilities to enhance EMS development.
In responses to the question "Is there a need for national coordination for EMS and related environmental activities in Australian agriculture", 82% of the groups responded Yes, with 2 groups (12%)saying 'No'. A final group responded that stated that 'it depends', with no further explanation. Specific areas of coordination mentioned by the groups included communication, certification/auditing and recognition, standards development, EMS facilitation, development of principles, leadership (in particular of industry) and EMS support.
that a national annual forum be held for sharing of information and experience about EMS.
Two groups also observed that there was a perception that the Framework had little to do with industry, and was 'owned' only by government.
Government to provide long-term funding and support to both implement EMS and educate about EMS.
In response to the question "Is there a need for a broad-based network to communicate about EMS direction, policy and research needs" 77% of groups responded 'Yes', with a further two groups, while not circling the Yes response, indicating that they thought an active network was needed bringing the Yes response to 88%. 1 group circled 'No, but then stated that there was a network of practitioners needed, and suggested that while there was already a network in place, it should also be at a 'lower' level where landholders could 'attend to swap ideas. One group did not answer the question Therefore, it appears that there was strong support for the formation of an active network of EMS users to discuss a broad range of topics.
Responses supporting the development of a network all wanted to see the network as a multi-stakeholder development. In several cases it was suggested that government agencies were needed to provide the support and infrastructure to ensure that an on-on-going network could develop. Issues that were suggested for discussion through such a network included EMS tool, methods that 'work', learning from existing EMS usage, 'good news stories', EMS benefits and outcomes, rather than policy or research issues solely.
Several groups included statements similar to "we have enough experience and trials – we now need to support practitioners and 'get on with it'".
Other areas that needed to be addressed to assist with EMS development were: extension, provision of support, development of better networks, web-based resources, a means of 'inspiring' the next group of people to move into EMS, more opportunities for EMS communication, training and leadership and NRM targets that could fit between catchment level and on-farm levels.

From the desk of Brian S. Driscoll: In order to receive compensation for injuries, plaintiffs in negligent personal injury cases must prove their injuries and associated expenses were causally related to the alleged incident and reasonable in amount and cost. The plaintiff's burden to prove these elements is often the central dispute in personal injury litigation. What if a plaintiff fails to produce any evidence at trial that his medical expenses were reasonable? Can the plaintiff still recover those medical expenses? Read on to find out.
Case Pointer: In this personal injury lawsuit arising from a stabbing, the defendant's motion to strike plaintiff's claim for medical expenses was denied at trial, even though plaintiff failed to produce any evidence that his medical expenses were reasonable. Citing century old case law, the Oregon Court of Appeals determined that the plaintiff's failure to provide evidence of the reasonableness of his medical expenses meant that the trial court should have granted defendant's motion to strike. Further finding that defendant made no judicial admission that plaintiff's medical expenses were reasonable, the appeals court reversed and remanded to the trial court for further consideration.
Martinez v. Delgado-Galban, 296 Or App 659 (Mar. 8, 2019).
In a somewhat unique personal injury lawsuit, plaintiff was "cut by a knife wielded by defendant" and sustained injuries that required medical treatment consisting of three separate visits to an emergency room. Plaintiff filed a lawsuit alleging assault and battery and seeking compensation for pain and suffering as well as the expenses incurred from the three emergency room visits. At trial, plaintiff presented copies of the bills that he had been sent by the emergency room. Additionally, plaintiff called a medical expert witness to...

I spent a while trying to figure out why one of my virtual hosts was serving the default DocumentRoot instead of the one in the virtual host section. I finally figured out the reason and am sharing it in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
I'm running Ubuntu and the default VirtualHost configuration file didn't have a ServerName. I use Name-Based Virtual Hosts and the domain name that matched the default entry had a reverse DNS entry to the IP. My theory is that Apache does a reverse DNS lookup if the ServerName is missing, because the domain in question mapped to the server IP. The fix was to add a ServerName of localhost in the default entry.
In short, if your name-based virtual hosts aren't matching the ServerName correctly, make sure the default entry (the first file in the sites-enabled directory) has a ServerName.
In life, the more you refuse to accept anything but the best, the more likely you are to get it.

The grinding Bassmaster Elite Series event on the Arkansas River is proving to be a great test. A test of physical endurance in sweltering mid-90 degree air temperatures. A test of mental toughness. A test in personal perseverance. And for one well-liked rookie, a test of character.
Constant class act and BoatUS Angler Weigh-to-Win member, Gary Klein says things should have turned out better so far.
Klein stood practice casting and tuning a crankbait around the docks stationed inside the morning blast-off harbor, explaining when they bite, he's often out of perfect hook-setting position when casting around the docks the bass are suspended under. In turn, he fails to get a solid hook set.
"It's been as tough as I expected, but if I'd have caught every thing I've lost, I'd be in the Top 12 of the standings, I should have 22 to 24-pounds so far." Instead Klein has 14-pounds and sits in 35th place. "It's not my equipment's fault. My hooks are sharp, I've got the right rod, and my Smoke reels work freakin' great, it's just that bad casting angles are subject to getting you caught in a bad situation because you're out of position," concluded Klein.
Humility flows frequently through professional bass fishing, and unfortunately the nicest guy on tour, Shaw Grigsby, got caught up in its humble currents yesterday.
After catching a very respectable 13-pound limit on the first day of competition, Grigsby sat smiling from beneath his mustache in 5th place. But then came humility floating down the Arkansas. "Yesterday, I stayed in the pool we're launching in, just like I did the first day. It wasn't a lock and dam issue for me. It's just that the first day I caught 13-pounds here, and it's pretty apparent those keepers don't replenish around here, because yesterday I caught 15 fish and not a single one of them was a legal keeper," said Grigsby, forced to take a zero for the day.
While green fish were the cause of Grigsby's humility, for popular rookie Brandon Palaniuk, humility was self-imposed. "The first day, I gambled and it didn't work. Then yesterday when I went to my best back-up spot it ended up being the same exact stuff Denny Brauer was fishing. It was a little tense. I never dreamed that the stuff he was fishing was among the best stuff I found in practice too. We talked and I told him I was leaving it totally to him today. It's the right thing to do," explained Palaniuk, who for a 23-year old has consistently shown his character and fishing skills to be far beyond his years.

New seaside playground a magnet for families
New Brighton's playground is proving a holiday hot spot attracting hundreds of people a day to the suburb.
The beachside playground with its distinctive whale opened on 20 December with over 400 people attending the ceremony.
The New Brighton Beachside Playground is proving a hit with families.
It's the first part of the New Brighton Regeneration Project to open and the project was delivered ahead of time and under budget.
Development Christchurch Chief Executive Rob Hall said in its first few weeks the playground had been highly successful and it was very encouraging that it appeared to be drawing people from other parts of the city to check out the new attraction.
"From what we've seen and heard, busy days can easily attract hundreds of people to the playground – many of whom are visitors to New Brighton."
Coastal Ward Councillor David East said the playground's popularity had beaten his expectations. "I thought it would be pretty popular but there have been far more people there than I imagined on a daily basis.
"It's certainly been a great addition to New Brighton and all the reports I've heard are exceedingly favourable – everyone's raving about it."
He estimated that over the course of a busy day there would be up to a thousand people there. "It seems to have put this part of Christchurch on the map again."
The New Brighton Beachside Playground has a mixture of wet and dry play areas and novel play equipment including a large rope climbing frame, water cannons, musical toys and a large waka that children can climb and play inside.
Water from the splash pad drains overnight into tanks underground which keep the water warm, reducing heating costs.
Local school children and community members had input into the design and there was overwhelming feedback that the iconic whale should be retained.
The 600 kilogram whale in the new splash pad play area is a clone of the original, which was too considered too fragile to move to its new location.
Ground artwork, carving on the waka, wind protection screening, and some new play features will be added progressively to the playground in the next few months.
Later this year work is expected to begin on the Christchurch Hot Pools and Brighton Mall as well as streetscape work on Marine Parade to continue the revitalisation of the suburb.

Boyars. The upper ruling class of Kyivan Rus'. The class consisted of landed boyars and senior members of the princes' armed retinues and courts (ie, the boyar-warriors). This distinction disappeared in the 11th century as the warrior nobility acquired estates and the landed nobility served in increasing numbers at the princes' courts. Yet differences in social status gave rise to a new distinction between the older and the younger armed retinue. The boyars never constituted a separate estate with its own special privileges. Membership in the group was open to anyone who held a high post at court or in the administration or who had amassed a large fortune. The boyars formed their own council (Boyar Council), which, together with the prince and the popular assembly (viche), composed the supreme power of a principality or a territory.
After the decline of the Kyivan state the wealthier and hereditary part of the boyars entered the closed estate of the Polish and Lithuanian nobility. The poorer boyars lost some of their privileges and were reduced to the status of a seminoble estate called thepantsyrni boyars and putni boyars (branch nobles), who administered parts of the prince's land, and later even to the status of peasants. In the Polish-Lithuanian period the upper stratum of the boyars adopted the title of lord (pan) or landowner (zemian), while the old title of boyar was used by petty officials. The lower stratum of the boyars and the petty nobility struggled for their rights for a long time. When the various editions of the Lithuanian Statute were published in 1529 and 1584 and the Polish-Lithuanian union was concluded, the petty boyars won equality before the law with the rich nobles and the right to trial in the nobility's land courts on an equal footing with the lords (pany). This lasted to the end of the 18th century on Ukrainian territories ruled by Poland. The surviving members of the Ukrainian boyar class who switched their allegiance to the Cossack state and the Zaporozhian Host received only the rights based on military service, regardless of lineage. The title of boyar in the Russian Empire was abolished by Peter I. By that time most of the boyars had been reduced to peasants.


Are you afraid to tell your story? You know, do you really feel confident talking about what you really want to do for work?
It's perfectly normal! Cherie Aimée wants to help you overcome your fear of sharing your story as she was able to do.
She's the brand ambassador for NY Presbyterian and Columbia University Medical Center, the hospital that saved her life after being clinically dead for 90 minutes!
She also helps people develop their personal brand around their core story.
Believe it or not, Cherie says she first felt ashamed to share the story she's about to share with you about her miraculous recovery!
I mean she was clinically dead for 90 minutes, was on a bionic heart for 5 years and is only recently is recovering from her heart transplant. Her story is unbelievable!
Needless to say, this experience forever changed her understanding of herself.
And she wants you to know that you don't have to go through a near-death experience like she did to transform your life into the person you've always known you've been.
How she overcame the shame of sharing the story of her near-death experience.
Why the ultimate freedom is the freedom to be your true self.
Letting your tribe by drawn to your voice, instead of trying to fit your voice into a tribe.
Wake up time: Around 5:00 am, starting the day with quiet time activities.
Core work activities + habits: 1) Making phone calls, connecting with people. 2) Engaging with social media and her tribe. 3) Writing for her own site, other sites, or her own sanity.
90-day goal: Build her speaking platform, finish her book on near-death experiences, and make more in-person connections with people through retreats.
1) Schedule quiet time in your day. Just take time to listen to yourself. She prefers being near a body of water as she self-reflects because she believes it helps quiet her mind.
2) Writing and journaling. Give the things in your heart and mind some motion.


Texas is known for its BBQ and here's a recipe that lives up to that tradition. Slowly roasted for maximum tenderness, this brisket will melt in your mouth. Sweet, spicy and bold, this is a recipe that even BBQ aficionados will love.
Combine brown sugar, ketchup, Dr Pepper, onion, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; mixing until well blended.
Pour remaining sauce into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce reduces and thickens.


Perhaps the first question many people ask is, "what's ATC like?" (right after they say, "that must be stressful.") Click on the "What's ATC Like?" tab in the menu at the left to read my version of an explanation.
I have some good news and some bad news—the bad news is that location identifiers (such as familiar airport codes) are the lingua franca of ATC. To make stories concise and readable, I've used them throughout. I almost can't help myself. The good news is that unless I've missed a few here and there, all of them can be decoded by rolling your mouse over the identifier.
At your leisure, you can choose other links to follow to read short tales of people and events I experienced, a longer series detailing my ATC life in controlling traffic in four decades, and why I named this site what I did.
Material at this site is based principally on my experience from April 1968 (when I was hired) until December 1997 (when I retired). I often refer to antecedant facts and events from before I hired and anecdotal knowledge from after I retired. Those references are not fictional, but can only be considered secondary or tertiary sources.
I worked at three facilities. I had a thorough working knowledge of those facilities. Things which did or did not happen at other facilities aren't generally part of my working knowledge. This is not a resource site except as it reflects my memory (while usually pretty good, sometimes can be skewed) of what I saw first hand. I found out as recently as late March, 2009, that my perspective of an issue I experienced in 1968 and which I perceived as national in scope, was in fact, local.

LGBTQ&A: Terrell Green
We chat with the out local performer about art, divorce, and his one-man show.
By Ernest Owens·	 1/13/2017, 3:08 p.m.
Terrell Green
Terrell Green is local performing artist and educator. We chat with the out creator about his current artistic aspirations and his upcoming one-man show, which debuts on MLK Day in the Gayborhood.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am a Philly Jawn, born and raised in South Philly! I am a fan of public schools, attending McCall Elementary and Central High School (267!). I've been an actor since my adolescence, and it has been theater that has taken me around the world: to Marymount Manhattan College in NYC, Oxford University in England to study Shakespeare performance, to doing puppetry on the streets of Ireland. And now, back home to Philly to teach literacy and sexual health education to youth, using theater. Theater and God have been good to me. I've gone from that confused little boy walking the halls of Philly's public schools to now walking those same halls as a contractor, there to teach art. I've turned my passion into a giving and full career! Last year was good, and this year is starting off great. I am teaching and doing great work in the community with PHMC, Attic Youth Center, Arden Theatre; writing and performing my one-man show, nabbed a two-year teaching artist fellowship with the Philadelphia Theatre Company. My life's chant: "No one can deny your hard work!"
You are an educator by day and an artist by night. How do you incorporate those professions into your queer identity?
I never forget my responsibility. As a black gay man, I have a huge responsibility to be exemplary; I have to be exemplary not only to disprove the Kim Burrells of the world but to disprove the Trump voters of the world. In Philly's classrooms, most of my students are black and brown, living at or below the poverty line; most of them have never heard "It's OK to be you, because you are a qualified, unique and a beautiful person." It took me 26 years to learn half of that lesson. I use my classroom to help people find weird and unique things about themselves that others, due to their lack of understanding, may reject; I aid them in realizing those weird and unique features make them standout. On stage as an actor, I use the stage to heal. In every character and play I do, I accept a little piece more of myself. My gayness, my blackness, my maleness, my Terrellness, hehe!
Moonlight, a film exploring black queer masculinity, just won the Golden Globe for Best Drama. As a black gay male artist in Philly, what do you think has led to this newfound embrace of such artistic themes?
I think black people/artists have led to this embrace; we've reached the point, especially in the artistic community, where we are tired of being at the mercy of others. Tired of playing the help, the thug, or the first person to die in the horror film. Black artists realized that the whitewashed (both behind the scenes and in front) entertainment industry was complacent with telling the same ol' stories. So over the last few years we've been seeing black artists use mediums such as YouTube and Instagram to create content and followers that inevitably the money-making mainstream media couldn't deny — not only the creativity but the commercial value. Black artists are stepping up and realizing we have to create our own narrative, because for so long our narratives have been inaccurately written and portrayed. It's amazing and inspiring to see Issa Rae and Donald Glover creating, writing, producing, and performing in creative and award-winning material.
Must Go On: A Rite of Passage is your new one-man show premiering on MLK Day. What inspired you to take on this self-reflective project?
One of my life's goal(s) has become working to recreate a positive narrative for black men, specifically black GBTQ men, using theater and film. I teach in a program that teaches sexual health, skill-building, and goal-setting using role-play theater. This program is specifically for black male youth. Working with these young men, I am constantly reminded of my own youth and all things the world tried to deny me because I am black or gay; but I never stopped, I told myself must go on. So I wanted to not only help others see that black men are brilliant because we navigate in a very complicated space in the world and definitely in America. But more importantly, I wanted to leave a message to my brothers: Just go ON! The world is ours, too!
You've experienced quite a lot personally in the past year — a new career, projects, and a divorce. What is one piece of advise you would give yourself now to others?
In the words of Dr. King, "Don't wallow in despair." Use every knockdown as a way to train and prepare for the next go around and become stronger. Life is always throwing us opportunities to heal, but it takes strength from within to take it! #BeYeReady #BYR #MustGoOn #MGO
Must Go On: A Rite of Passage will be premiering on Monday, January 16th, at 5 p.m. at the William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce Street. Tickets can be purchased online.

Teens discussed safety issues in school at a forum in Harrisburg. They gathered Wednesday night at Bethany A.M.E. Church.
It's part of a nationwide initiative from President Obama called "My Brother's Keeper." The goal is to support students to graduate and go on to more academic and career success.
The topic this time was safety. The Harrisburg School Board is weighing a plan to put police officers in schools. Some parents have opposed it but these students said they support the idea.
They say they're concerned about outsiders coming into their schools and weapons in school.
"Our parents want the best for us, so if there's a police there, they shouldn't really complain about that, because they're taking steps to secure our safety and our education," says Kevin Crespo, a sophomore at Harrisburg.
The group meets every two weeks at Bethany A.M.E. Church in Harrisburg and the meetings are open to the public.
The students say, at future meetings, they hope to discuss lowering the dropout rate and how to stop bullying.


The Redwood Cidery loves cider; it's as simple as that. Which is why cider is all we do. We think about it, scheme about it, dream about it and occasionally, we just enjoy it – all in the name of research, of course.
We're NZ's experts and innovators of cider. We've been making the stuff since 1947, so we've learned a thing or two about fermenting fruit, and snapped up a few medals along the way.
With our roots firmly planted in Nelson's Redwood Valley – where the sunshine hours are long and the fruit is picked at its juicy best – we spend our days working hard to craft a damn tasty bunch of ciders to suit all tastes and times.
We believe everyone should respect differences in opinion, however, we're not convinced that those who are yet to try cider are entitled to one. But seriously, we're that passionate about our ciders, we simply can't see what's not to like.
Out of our dedicated cidery comes the country's largest and broadest portfolio of cider brands. Talk to us today about how we can make your total offering a damn good one, and give your customers something they'll return for.

How Horny Are the Star Wars Movies?
Illustration: Jim Cooke
Filed to: personal questionsFiled to: personal questions
horniness
Jezebel Investigates"Democracy dies in darkness"
In 2002, I went to the movies with my mom to see Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones—a choice that, to this day, makes little sense to me. As a family, we had never been into Star Wars, and in fact, I had never seen any other movie in the series before. But I was about 11 years old, and I loved it—mainly because Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman suck face a lot on screen.
In Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker (Christensen, who I now realize cannot be older than 19 or 20 in this movie) and Padmé Amidala (Portman) are hopelessly in love, but because Anakin is training to be a Jedi, and Jedis cannot marry, they are forced to hide it from the world. You can see this conflict on their faces because they stare at each other for half the movie, both clearly in agony.
"I'm in agony," Christensen tells Portman, as they sit side by side near the glow of a fireplace, having already shared a kiss. The increasing flirtation between them makes it obvious they want more.
The plot didn't matter much to me at that point. I did not know that Anakin would one day become Darth Vader, or that when Padmé first meets Anakin, he is a child—and in retrospect, I was probably able to enjoy the movie more because I didn't know these things. What really entranced me was the idea that forbidden love is the sexiest love, especially if you are on the edge of puberty.
Attack of the Clones convinced me that more movies should have kissing in them. But just how horny are the other Star Wars films? Friends of mine insisted that Attack of the Clones, on top of being laughably bad, is also an outlier in the Star Wars universe for its high sexual content. But even blockbuster franchises set in space need sex, I thought. After watching eight Star Wars movies—the first two trilogies, spanning from the late '70s to the early 2000s, and the two installments of 2010s trilogy—I set out to rank the kissing and potential for horniness. Here are my findings.
Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope
Image: IMDB
How horny?: Not very
Is there any kissing?: There is virtually no kissing in this movie. Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) kisses Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on the cheek at one point, but it's platonic. I think they had to include this because the movie plays up how both Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Luke Skywalker think Princess Leia is devastatingly beautiful.
In one earlier scene, Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi walk into a bar, and it looks like there are two creatures canoodling in a corner. They do not kiss.
Star Wars: Episode V—The Empire Strikes Back
How horny?: Pretty horny
Is there any kissing?: Yes, and it's surprisingly hot. This is the movie that really sets up Han Solo and Princess Leia are in love, so there's a lot of heavy flirtation, given that they sort of hated each other in the last movie. At one point, Solo confronts Leia about her feelings in a hallway. "You like me because I'm a scoundrel," he says, massaging her hand. "I happen to like nice men," she says, backing away from him. "I am a nice man," he says, and goes in for the kiss, pushing her up against a wall. This is the movie where I decided I Would Harrison Ford.
Star Wars: Episode VI—Return of the Jedi
How horny?: Decidedly not
Is there any kissing?: Yes, but sometimes it happens so fast that you may not even notice it. There are no sultry make-outs in a hallway and no flirting of the caliber we see in Episode V. There's really no passion in the kissing to speak of, but the movie is rated PG.
Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace
How horny?: The opposite of horny
Is there any kissing?: No kissing or anything remotely sexual here, except there's what I perceived as very, very light flirtation between Padmé and Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) when they first meet. This is weird because Anakin is a child at this point in the series, even though he can already fly things and Qui-gon (Liam Neeson) can sense he is going to be a great Jedi. After Qui-gon frees him from slavery and takes him under his wing, Anakin tells Padmé he misses his mom, planting the seed for all the mommy issues he'll deal with later.
Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones
This is how Anakin looks 90% of the time
How horny?: Alarmingly horny
Is there any kissing?: Yes! The sexual tension between Anakin (now Christensen) and Padmé when they meet again as adults is palpable, but still uncomfortable because Anakin, again, looks so young.
Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith
How horny?: It has its moments, but any sexual tension between Padmé and Anakin is eventually overshadowed by his descent to the dark side.
Is there any kissing?: Some, but it's brief. At the beginning of the movie, Padmé and Anakin are reunited after some time apart, and are still ready to bone, risking exposing their relationship by making out in public (albeit, still in the shadows, a heavy-handed metaphor for their secret marriage). The sexiness of their initial romance is gone, but they still show Anakin with his shirt off for good measure.
Their marriage eventually falls apart after Anakin turns on Obi-Wan Kenobi and the other Jedi masters and decides he wants more. It's sad—love changes Anakin's life, but it also spells his demise; it is his fear of losing Padmé, of seeing her in pain, that leads him to seek answers outside of his Jedi powers. In short, way sadder and more poignant than horny.
Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens
How horny?: Staunchly asexual.
Is there any kissing?: No. Two characters really seem to care about each other, but it's unclear if it's just friendship or something more.
Star Wars: Episode VIII—The Last Jedi
How horny?: Super not horny.
Is there any kissing?: Very little. Although there is an admission of love towards the end of the movie, there is only one very brief kiss that is more tender and respectful and almost heroic than ragingly horny. J.J. Abrams has really succeeded in reversing Star Wars' legacy of sexualizing its main female lead, which—is great! It's refreshing to see Rey explore her own identity, thumbing through her limited family history and imagining her future role alongside her friend and mentors in the Resistance.

Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) by colonoscopy was implemented in Germany in 2002. Although the procedure has proven to be effective in reducing disease-specific mortality in numerous clinical studies, its effect at the population level is unclear. We performed an ecological study at the level of 358 German districts, testing the hypothesis that a higher participation rate in screening colonoscopy is associated with a stronger decline in CRC mortality from 2001 to 2012.
Information on the use of colonoscopy in each district was extracted from settlement data, used for the remuneration of physicians of the ambulant sector from 2008 to 2011. Yearly mortality rates for each district from 2001 to 2012 were derived from the official mortality statistics. A spatial model was fitted, considering other factors which might influence early detection of CRC (fecal occult blood test (FOBT), diagnostic colonoscopy, material and social area deprivation, and rural-urban disparities).
The population-weighted mean annual participation rate during 2008–2011 in screening colonoscopy was 2.0% (range 0.6 to 3.9%). The weighted mean annual percentage change (APC) of CRC mortality was − 2.9% (range − 7.8 to 1.2%). According to the fully adjusted model, a 1% higher annual participation rate in colonoscopy screening was associated with an additional annual change in CRC mortality rate of − 0.34% (p = 0.015). Given an annual 2.0% participation rate, colonoscopy screening attributed 23% to the observed decline.
Our real-world data from Germany provide first evidence that colonoscopy screening for CRC is effective in reducing disease-specific mortality at the population level.

Mefalsim (, lit. Road pavers) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located near the Gaza Strip and covering 11,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council. In  it had a population of .

History
The village was established in 1949 by members of the MAMLT youth movement, most of whom were immigrants from Argentina and Uruguay. It was named for the immigrants from Latin America who paved the way for others to make aliyah.

After the Israeli disengagement from Gaza in 2005, the kibbutz absorbed some of the evicted families. Since 2001, the kibbutz has been hit by dozens of rockets launched from the Gaza Strip, with a few buildings destroyed, including the kindergarten in 2012. In 2018, the village was the first location set ablaze by a fire balloon.

This report is from AHRQ's series on Future Research Needs Projects.
With the assistance of a panel of representative stakeholders, to identify and prioritize future research needs topics for diagnosis of OSA.
Twenty-one panel members represented six stakeholder categories: patients and the public, providers, purchasers of health care, payers, policymakers, and principal investigators. Building on future research needs topics derived from the CER, stakeholders nominated additional topics for discussion. Nominated topics were discussed by stakeholders (excluding product makers) on a secure Web site discussion board. At the close of the discussion period, stakeholders nominated their top five Future Research Needs topics based on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Effective Health Care Program selection criteria. From these nominations, the highest priority Future Research Needs were determined and were elaborated upon to include possible study designs to address the topics.
What is the prognostic accuracy of clinical prediction rules to predict clinical outcomes?
Fourteen other future research needs topics were discussed.
Stakeholder participation in the online discussion board was low. Discussions were begun by only five stakeholders and only 33 percent of stakeholders participated in the online discussion. The median number of comments across topics was only two. Topic nomination was done by 16 stakeholders (76 percent). Lessons learned from this Future Research Needs panel discussion can be applied to future panels.


Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, head of the notorious Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel, has been found guilty on all counts at his New York drug trafficking trial and will spend the rest of his life in US custody.
Guzman rose to become the most important figure in the global drug trade. his reign.
At the height of the cocaine boom in the early '90s, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was living so large he had four wives, four planes, a yacht, a beach house on every shore, and topped it off with the purchase of his own zoo.
His children and family have continued the hedonistic life style, flaunting their wealth on social media, even while he was on the run.
The 61-year-old drug lord who amassed over $14billion in three decades of drug dealing terror, was convicted on all 10 counts that were presented to the jury on Tuesday after six days of deliberations.
The charges included seven drug trafficking charges, one count of engaging in a criminal enterprise, one count of money laundering and one charge of firearms offenses.
el Chapo arrives the US in early 2017 to begin his trial for drug trafficking related charges paving the road for his ultimate conviction.
The criminal enterprise count carries a mandatory life sentence.
Among those in the courtroom on Tuesday to watch the infamous drug dealer meet his fate was his 29-year-old, ex-beauty queen wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro.
After the verdict was read out and translated for the defendant, he turned to look at her and blow her a kiss. She smiled in response and, with tears in her eyes, gave him a thumbs up. The pair who share 7-year-old twin daughters have been married since she was 18. Coronel has worn headphones throughout the trial so that she could understand the proceedings.
Her husband appeared emotionless as the verdict was translated to him.
The cartel head's wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, was seen arriving at the Brooklyn courthouse where the trial is taking place during a snowstorm on Tuesday morning.
At one point during the proceedings on Tuesday, he turned to look at her and smiled. Coronel smiled in response and placed one hand on her heart. They have been married since she was 18 and share twin daughters.
The trial included testimony from former associates and employees of the drug kingpin who is considered one of the most dangerous men in the world.
They spoke at length about how he ordered killings and controlled a multi-billion dollar Mexican cartel including when he was on the run from Mexican authorities after breaking out of prison.
El Chapo's defense spent just 30 minutes trying to negate the months of witness testimony. They claimed he is being framed and that the real leader of the Sinaloa cartel is someone else.
Initially, El Chapo was indicted on 17 counts. – The jury however had to decide on 10.
They were weapons offenses, money laundering, criminal enterprise and, predominantly, drug trafficking.
Tuesday's verdict is the drug dealer's third conviction.
He has escaped from Mexican prison twice in the last 20 years but was handed over to the US in January 2016 by President, Enrique Nieto, who has been accused of taking pay-offs from Guzman's Sinaloa cartel in exchange for leaving him alone.
Nieto has always denied the allegations.
Since he was brought to the US, Guzman has been held in solitary confinement in prisons in Manhattan and in a secret location for the duration of his trial.
When it began, the NYPD had to close the Brooklyn Bridge to ensure there was no interference as he was transported to the courthouse for the first time in an extraordinary security measure.
The trial, which began in November, has attracted Mexican television stars and the gaze of the world's media. It was not without obstacle.
Security and secrecy was essential to the trial.
Witha a well earned reputation as a super escape artiste, el Chapo's Houdini act saw him break out of prison twice over the last 20 years to the mortification of the Mexican authorities he and his cronies have long-claimed are corrupt.
After his last jail break by tunneling out of from a Mexican maximum security facility, el Chapo Guzman was finally captured for the last time in Los Michos, Mexico in January 2016.
Among the most challenging stages was jury selection when dozens of people had to be dismissed from the jury pool after admitting that they would fear for their life if selected.
Others were rejected after confessing to admiring Guzman including one man who even asked a court bailiff to help him get the defendant's autograph.
The jurors have been kept partially sequestered, and anonymous, for their safety.
There were allegations at one stage that the defendant was secretly communicating with his former beauty queen wife who was seen using a forbidden cell phone during some proceedings. The prosecution case was built almost entirely on the testimony of cooperating witnesses – criminal associates of the drug lord, as well as FBI agents testimony.
The epic trial often unfolded more like a made for TV drama.
The prosecution through a series of former close associates and employees chronicled Guzman's emergence as leader of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel over the course of three decades, as witnesses detailed his pivot from a lavish lifestyle in the 1990s to hiding out in the mountains, on the run from authorities, the following decade.
Testimony from those closest to Guzman ranged from comical to chilling, including a naked escape from law enforcement through a tunnel network he'd built under his bathtub.
Not averse to getting his own hands bloody, witnesses detailed the cold-blooded murders he himself committed.
The accounts painted Guzman as a ruthless and calculating drug lord, who was paranoid to the point of obsession, going so far as to install spyware on the devices used by his associates, wife and mistresses.
Thanks to the kingpin's snooping, the FBI managed to score access to not only those communications but also Guzman's own encrypted servers after agents flipped his IT guy.
Prosecutors say they caught the elusive El Chapo on tape between 100 and 200 times, and wiretapped some 800 calls after the cartel's in-house geek Cristian Rodriguez helped them decode its encrypted computer system.
That access, in addition to other intercepts and a trove of belongings the kingpin abandoned at an oceanside mansion during a raid, were critical in his conviction.
The trial also served as an expose on the bloody gang turf wars across Mexico, as rival cartels battled for unencumbered access to the United States , and its huge appetite for cocaine.
Prosecutors detailed in opening statements how Guzman's organization had trafficked in more than 328 million lines of cocaine to the US.
Jurors were shown stockpiles of seized drugs, in addition to piles of military grade arsenal discovered during various raids.
The panel also heard of rampant corruption across the country, ranging from bribes paid to low-level law enforcement to allegations of multimillion-dollar payments that implicated the current Mexican president and his predecessors.
Guzman's defense spent the case attempting to undermine the integrity of the cooperating witnesses who took the stand against Guzman.
His lawyers repeatedly characterized him as a scapegoat who'd been persecuted, while his at-large partner, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, was allowed to run free.
The Guzman defense further argued that the testimony given by his former employeees and associates be discarded. That they could not be trusted because they were violent criminals.
Before the case even reached trial, his attorneys argued that he had been mistreated while in custody and that his health was declining. They suggested that he was losing his mind as a result of the solitary confinement he was subjected to and that his memory was also imploding.
During the course of the trial, the only people who were allowed to visit him were his twin seven-year-old daughters.

Vishukani and its variant colours – Vishu offers much more to Keralities. It's a festival season of tastes and traditional dishes too. During those glorious yesterdays, every backyard had one vegetable garden, and most of the dishes were prepared using seasonal vegetables and fruits. Not many families relied on fast food, and they used to prepare everything at home. With less use of fertilizers and pesticides, dishes prepared in earthen pots and kadai were healthy too.
A lot of local tastes termed as 'Naattu Ruchikal' have already faded from taste buds and human memories. In those days, there were not too many methods to preserve old recipes, and only passed to next generation orally. Thus we missed many grandma recipes! Yet certain tastes linger our taste buds and not easy to forget at all. For instance, cooking Ilayada using banana leaf, rice, coconut & jaggery in wooden hearths, Karolappam fried in hot ghee, Mambaza kaalan made in Kadai, Paal Payasam using rice, sugar & milk…. Vishu special dishes are many. Through this column let us walk into those glorious yesterdays to cherish a few Vishu memories related to customs and cuisines. These memories are still pondered by many grandmas, who share fading memories of those glorious yesterdays through their words.
There is a popular legend connected to the celebration of Vishu. And it says – Lord Sun feared Ravana a lot and in that fear, he never rises straight. He always hides behind due to fear till the death of Asura King. After Ravana got killed, sun rose straight for the first time on a Vishu day. Before Kollavarsham came into being, Medam was the New Year for Malayalis – the month of Vishu.
Vishu kani was given great significance during olden days, and it was given in coins. Ana was given to young ones as Vishu Kani by Karanavar, and it was well-sufficient for them. Sambar was not included in Vishu sadya those days. A season of jackfruits, a variety of dishes was made using it. Chakka avial was quite common. Jackfruit, mango and cucumber used for Vishu Kani were later used to prepare Chakka avial.
The outer skin of raw jackfruit will be peeled off, the long threads (chakka chakini) inside were also removed, and then chopped into thin lengthy pieces. Snake gourd and cucumber were also cut into similar sized pieces. Drum stick & long beans cut into lengthy pieces and jackfruit seeds were also added and cooked well. If it's overcooked, it tastes unpleasant and grandmas know how long these vegetables are to be cooked. To get sour taste for avial, green mangoes are added. Along with mangoes, scrapped coconut is added on the top and placed as a heap. On top a banana leaf is placed.
Similar to this jackfruit avial, there is one Koottuthoran. Jackfruit seeds, snake gourd and drumstick are its main ingredients. Finely chop jackfruit seeds and snake gourd, and drumstick in length pieces. If drumstick is too mature, only its flesh is used. Cook these three, adding salt, turmeric powder and chilli powder. Crush shallots and scrapped coconut and add to it. Finally sauté rice (kuthari) and mustard in oil and add to this thoran. In those days, there were not much items to fill the whole leaf. Yet dishes served were purely traditional, and vegetables plucked from courtyard.
There was a practice in those days to give sadya to ants. Only the special sadya (before which lamp is lighted) is used for this purpose. Cooked rice, daal, pappad and payasam are mixed together in a bowl. They are made into balls. In the front side (Nadakallu of old homes, where a stone is placed at entry) and corners of the home, small bits of plantain leaves are put and thread dipped in oil are placed. They are lighted and on each plantain leaf, a rice ball is placed.
Uthara desam means places related to Kasaragod. Vishnu Kani was given great importance during old days too. As it's new year, each family member should see good things on the dawn break of Vishu day. Time of Vishu Kani is also calculated in several families.
There existed a practice called 'Pothu kollal' in few places of Kasaragod district. Soon after Vishu Kani, the elder member of the family goes to the field accompanied by a few people for the custom, Pothu kollal. He takes Kodi vilakk (a lamp) and some seeds along with him. The group also carries a few instruments for sowing the seeds. Boys of the family carry coconut and karolappam. The senior member sprinkle tender coconut juice in the field, place karolappam as offerings and put a handful of seeds in the field. After Vishu Kani, 'Pothu kollal' is the most important custom of Vishu celebrations.
After the group returns from field, they show Vishu Kani to cattle. Sandal will be applied on the forehead of cattle, and show them Vishu Kani in Kerala lamp lights. Then they will be given chopped jackfruit and cucumber, along with Karolappam prepared in coconut oil. For kids who visit homes with Vishu Kani in the early mornings, Kayada, Murukk and Karolappam will be given. You can read the recipe of Kaayada here.
Among Vishu dishes, Chakka Erisseri (Jackfruit Erisseri) owns a prominent position. Chickpeas will be soaked and cooked, and provided as snack. Chakka Erisseri is prepared through traditional methods. Well-ripen raw jackfruit is cut into pieces and its seeds are crushed. Cook them together adding salt, turmeric powder, pepper powder and enough water. Make a fine paste of a little cumin seeds, 2 green chillies and ½ scrapped coconut, and add to the cooked mixture. Crush ½ scrapped coconut using traditional method. Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustards, sauté urud daal & curry leaves and then crushed coconut. Fry it well. Add this mixture to Erisseri and close with a lid.
Perakk is prepared just before serving the Vishu sadya. Cut salad cucumber into fine pieces, and mix it well with a little salt. Make a fine paste of a little curd, coconut and mustard and add to cucumber pieces just before serving. It's called Kakkarikka Perakk in local language. Kids love to play in fields eating snacks such as Kayada, Murukk and Karorappam in those days.
Valluvanadu mainly comprises of southern Malabar districts. Coconut is cut into two halves, filled oil and lighten lamps for Vishu Kani. Then members go to temple in the early morning and after that steam cake, pappadam and banana are normally served as breakfast in most houses. During early days, rice use to carry a special sweetness, and steam cake made by this rice were delicious. As time passed by, soil changed its colour and so are its tastes too.
For Vishu sadya, Olan using pumpkin, Raw Pappaya Thoran and Erisseri using raw jackfruit were quite common. A curry using cucumber and green mango is also prepared. Mango should be well-ripen and mango fruit is also used. Skin of mango is removed, and it's cooked along with cucumber, jaggery pieces, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt adding sufficient water. Traditional earthen pots or kadai are used for this preparation. When it's cooked and water content is fully evaporated, add a fine paste of coconut and cumin seeds. Sauté mustard seeds and curry leaves in oil and add to this cucumber-mango curry.
During those days, workers used to give green gram to their landlords. In return they will be gifted with Neyyappam in small vessels and Kaineettam; also 3 Naazhi rice, coconut oil and pappadam. Using that green gram, thoran or vegetarian side dishes are prepared, and the rest is used to prepare Kondattam. This kondattom comes handy during monsoon season.
Coins given as Vishu Kani cherish the memory of many. As there are so many Krishna temples in the regions, bhajana will be conducted by youth to nearby homes on Vishu night, just before Vishu. They go as a procession; Krishna idol will be placed inside a carrier made of coconut or aracanut stem. When they reach each home, they sit down in the veranda or courtyard and sing bhajans accompanied by local instruments like Chinki.
As it's the land of Anantha Padmanabhan, Vishu Kani, Kaineettam and Sadya are given due importance. Vishu breakfast is always idli in most homes. Kadala Chundal is a very common Vishu snack. Chickpeas (Kadala) are soaked overnight. On Vishu morning, it's cooked adding salt. Mustard seeds are spluttered in coconut oil, and thin dry coconut slices are fried and add to cooked chickpeas to prepare this delicious snack. Kadala Chundal is served aside Katti payasam. Brown Champa rice is cooked, round jaggery is crushed and added to it, sauted well and finally a little ghee and scrapped coconut. Katti payasam is ready.
Vishu Pakshi was frequently seen in those days and its singing was quite common. Nowadays it's a rare sight. Now green plantain gardens and trees have disappeared from the city, and so are Vishu birds.
It's not easy to go back to those glorious days. In fact certain journeys are not meant for return. But certain memories cherish forever, so are old traditional Vishu dishes and grandma's tastes.
