Delhi to Kumbhalgarh Road Trip
Bhangarh Fort
Chittorgarh Fort
Kumbhalgarh Fort
Rajasthan - Truly, the Land of Kings
What would it feel like to drive on a beautiful highway just to be greeted by 3 magnificent forts of all times? Delhi is blessed with such neighbouring cities that hold India's pride. So no need to spend time on planning and hit on the roads in your upcoming long weekend.
Mark your first destination on Google maps with 'Bhangarh Fort' or popularly known as the most haunted fort in India. Don't get frightened by this thought because ghosts only pounce on the hungry! Haha! Jokes apart, road to Bhangarh Fort is an amazing drive, however it becomes a little bumpy once you are closer. But before that, the highway has amazing dhabas fit for your appetite.
Take a break at the famous Rao Dhaba just near Manesar and start your day with a delicious breakfast.

After a heavy breakfast which should also suffice for lunch, continue your journey for Bhangarh. In about 4-5 hours you will reach Bhangarh Fort.
Slide across to see some views
Note that entry to the fort is restricted after sunset, so make sure you visit in the daylight.
Head on to Jaipur which is just about 80km, for your night stay. There are many hotels that can be booked through different portals.
"Padhaaro Mhaare Des" - A traditional Marwari greeting that means "Welcome to my town". Jaipur is the most visited tourist place in India and you will find this special greeting almost everywhere. There are just too many things to see in Jaipur that cannot be done in a day.
Since our road trip is about Forts, today is reserved for Nahargarh Fort, Jaipur
Interestingly, the Nahargarh Fort never saw any attacks but has witnessed some important moments in history like Treaty with the Marathas and Indian Sepoy Mutiny of 1857
After visiting the fort, have lunch and get back on the road. This time we are heading to Chittorgarh. Take the Bhilwara route as it has better roads. It will take about 6-7 hours to reach Chittorgarh. Take rest in your hotel and be ready for another fort adventure for Day 3.
Words cannot describe the magnanimity of this fort. The largest fort in India and also UNESCO World Heritage site, the fort of Chittorgarh is said to be built by Chittrangada Maurya. However, it is more popularly known by the ruler of Mewar, Rana Ratan Singh.

The fort has seen many wars and bloodshed in its history. It is also a witness to the self immolation or 'jauhar' committed by the queen and other women when the fort was being taken over by the Sultante forces. If you are into history, you can immediately feel the strength and defence this fort must have given to the then kingdoms.
Enjoy the beauty of the fort, take photos and try to see as much as possible. Try to leave Chittorgarh by evening to reach Kumbhalgarh. The road will take abut 4 hours to drive. If you have time, you can stay in the Chittorgarh town and leave early morning.l
This is the last leg of the journey of Forts. We now arrive at the Kumbalgarh Fort. You may have known the name but do you knoww that it has the Second Longest Wall in the world (36km), just after the Great Wall of China. Of course there is no comparison between the two.

Needless to say that this fort is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it has its own rich history. The earliest version of this fort is believed to be built in the 6th century by King Samprati of Maura age. This fort, like the previous one was also attacked by the Khilji, after which it gained significance among the rulers. It was taken over by Akbar's men and then regained by Maharana Pratap. Eventually it fell in the hands of the British.
Enjoy the amazing view of the fort when it is briefly lit during the night. The Lakhola Tank, Hindu Temple and the Jain temple are some prominent structures in the fort.
With this we come to an end of our Journey of Forts. But the trip is not yet over. There is a lot of road trip still left.
We now head back to Delhi which is a good 10-11 hours from Kumbhalgarh. If you wish to drive continuously, then fine but in case you have some time, then take a stop at Ajmer. Kumbhalgarh to Ajmer is around 4 hours by road which leaves you with sufficient time for the day to visit Ajmer Sharif and Dhai Din ka Jhopra.

Ajmer Sharif is a Sufi Shrine of the saint Moinuddin Chishti, who was a spiritual leader. He was born in Iran and is said to have travelled to India to escape from the Mongol invasions. Illtutmish, the then ruler of Delhi accepted him and he later moved to Ajmer where he became a religious and spiritual teacher.
Dhai Din ka Jhopra is the oldest mosque and oldest surviving monument in Ajmer. It was built during the time of Qutub-aid-din-Aibak in 1213 CE. It is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture since it also features Hindu and Jain style of architecture.
With this, this long weekend road trip from Delhi comes to an end. Ajmer to Delhi is about 5 hours. Stop in between and try some amazing food of the Highway Dhabas.

A Terrebonne church will open its new school this fall to the public.
Houma Assembly Church will open Houma Assembly Christian Academy, with classes set to begin in August.
Registration is currently open. The school is enrolling pre-K and kindergarten students, with plans to eventually teach students through the 12th grade, said Houma Assembly Church Pastor J. Leo Brown.
The school will be housed in a new $1.1 million two-story school built on the church grounds. It will have classrooms, administrative offices and a gymnasium, said Church Board Vice President Edward Lawson. The building was built with the help of church donations. Work on the school began in December, and construction is wrapping up.
"It's a Christian academy where scholars are cultivated. We're providing an educational environment aimed at inspiring and educating students, and an environment with good morals," Lawson said.
Brown said the idea for the school was conceived five years ago. Educating students is part of the church's mandate, Brown said, adding he doesn't believe the government can properly educate students when they're not being brought up with Christian morals and standards.
"We believe in Christian character and conduct, and we're taking the kids from the cradle to graduation with those standards," he said.
The school has been offering pre-K classes for the last five years with excellent results, Brown added.
Brown said the school's goal is to hire only college-educated or retired teachers and focus on small classes. The school will be based on the A Beka Book Christian curriculum. The school will be overseen by a board of church members and community professionals.
The school is large enough to educate students through eighth grade. As the first class of students age up, Brown said the school will eventually expand to make room for high school students.
About 20 pre-K and kindergarten students have enrolled in the Christian academy so far, Lawson said.
Pre-K students have been attending school taught in a classroom in the church. They'll attend kindergarten at the new school this year. Brown said many of the children have been working with the church since birth.
"Our methodology is to take the kids when they're young and walk these kids up. Then by the time they're adolescents, they already have a strong base," Brown said.
To register, you can call Houma Assembly Church at 853-0400 or email haceagles@aol.com. Registration costs $150. The church and school are at 2800 La. 311 in Schriever.

Tesla Provokes Ire Over Showroom In Xinjiang, China
All Tech News > category news Innovation > category news Artificial Intelligence
Tom Jowitt, January 4, 2022, 3:45 pm
Artificial IntelligenceInnovationResearchScience
Electric car maker slammed for opening dealership in Xinjiang, the region at centre of Western claims about human right abuses and forced labour camps
Electric car giant Tesla has opened a dealership showroom in the Xinjiang region, despite Western allegations of Chinese abuses in the remote province.
The company opened the showroom in the region's capital city of Urumqi on New Year's Eve, but the move has been heavily criticised by US politicians, civil rights groups and trade associations.
Just before Christmas Intel issued a public apology after a backlash in China, when it wrote to suppliers, warning them not to source products or labour from the Xinjiang region of the country.
Xinjiang controversy
Intel's move demonstrated the tricky position businesses are now confronting if any part of their supply chain is located in Xinjiang.
The United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and others last year accused China of widespread human rights abuses and forced labour camps in Xinjiang, which is home to the country's predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Muslim groups such as the Kazakh and Kyrgyz ethnic minorities.
The United States has labelled China's treatment of ethnic Uyghurs and other Muslims in Xinjiang as genocide.
Indeed, the United States, the UK, Canada and Australia have announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics in February over the issue.
UN experts and rights groups estimate more than a million people have been detained in camps in the region.
However Beijing has repeatedly denied abuses in Xinjiang and insists its policies are design to combat extremism.
New dealership
Tesla waded into this furore when on 31 December, it announced the opening of the new dealership there, on Tesla's Weibo (popular Chinese social media platform) account.
"The Urumqi Tesla Center officially opens #inanewdirection… As the first Tesla Center in Xinjiang, this location integrates sales, service and delivery." reads the post, which was translated by CNBC.
"It will help Xinjiang users enjoy the experience of one-stop service, escorting Tesla car owners on their journey to the west," it reportedly said.
Tesla criticism
Tesla's move however has incensed US politicians, civil rights groups and trade associations, but has also drawn praise from many Chinese social media users.
It should be remembered that US senators recently approved a bill banning imports from China's Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove they were produced without forced labour.
The author of the bill, Republican US Senator Marco Rubio slammed Tesla for the decision on Twitter.
"Right after President Biden signed Sen. Rubio's Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law, @Tesla opened a store in #Xinjiang," he tweeted. "Nationless corporations are helping the Chinese Communist Party cover up genocide and slave labor in the region."
On Tuesday the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the largest American Muslim advocacy organisation, also criticised the move, saying that Tesla was "supporting genocide."
"Elon Musk must close Tesla's Xinjiang showroom," Council on American-Islamic Relations said on its official Twitter account.
"By doing business in China's Xinjiang Province, where millions of #Uyghur Muslims are being held in concentration camps and forced labor facilities, Tesla is supporting genocide. Elon Musk must close Tesla's Xinjiang showroom," it said.
Similar criticism came from a US trade group called the Alliance for American Manufacturing.
"I'll be blunt: Any company doing business in Xinjiang is complicit in the cultural genocide taking place there. But Tesla's actions are especially despicable," it tweeted.
Musk is unlikely to pay much attention to the criticism however.
He is known for his fondness of China, and previously stated that "China rocks," while the US is full of "complacency and entitlement."
And Musk showed no sign of changing his ways in the New Year.
On Sunday he tweeted this amusing tweet about his intentions for 2022.

As Product Specialist and Field Based Merchandiser, Gregory will be working to further develop existing relationships with clients whilst also making new ones within our distribution network (Including online retailers to extend our brand and it's services to more and more potential clients).

Gregory's key activities will be to undertake market research and customer surveys to support product development and help us to identify new and better ways for us to provide our customers with only the Allett Mowers.
Can you give us a little bit of background about your career?
When I was younger, the two ideas that I floated was either to join the Army and see the world a bit or go to Horticultural College. My Nan advised that 'I can cut grass at any time in my later life', so the Army won the debate!
Where did your interest in lawn care stem from?
I have memories of using a garden fork to aerate Nan's lawn when I was a young lad. She was a florist and Grandad a groundsman, so I think my interest really came from them.
Why did you choose to come to work for Allett?
I love stripes with a twist of modern battery technology and I I think you have to be crazy passionate and dedicated about grass and fine turf care! Allett ticked all the right boxes as they seem pretty crazy about stripes too.
Why is this role perfect for you?
I am passionate about everything I do. A background from the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers coupled with experience of building a grounds works company from the ground up in a foreign country means I often reflect and place myself in other's shoes. As mentioned, I love fine turf care, as Allett are an industry leader, this role is such a perfect fit for both of us!
What part of your new role are you looking forward to?
I think more than anything, I am excited to get out there and start meeting, identifying and relating with clients.
Do you have a favourite Allett Mower?
As I'm a go-to homeowner range guy, it has to be the Liberty 43. Why? The battery operated machinery is the way forward in my opinion. I am amazed by the performance of the Liberty 43 having recently used it on a 10-degree incline.
You've joined Allett at an exciting time with the move to Regal House, what do you want to achieve in your new role?
I want to be able to help Allett evolve. Working with dealers and talking to the customers will help get a good understanding of what people want from an Allett Mower and hopefully I can have a big impact on that.
Have you got any new and exciting ideas to bring to Allett?
Being given this questionnaire I was asked to keep it short. I am a visionary and can write war & peace all day long, how long have you got?

Q: Get Autogenerated Id in Firestore Firebase The structure of my database is as follows:
Rooms>autogeneratedId>postId
In my url the postId is present:
for e.g. www.abc.com/post.html?xyz123
the xyz123 is my post Id
so considering the above scenario, I am able to perform the where query as follows:
var link = window.location.href;
var postId = adLink.split('?');
db.collection("Room").where("postId", "==", postId[1]).get()

this query finds my item, the thing is I need to get the auto generated document Id inside which the postId exists

Economists: the incentives given to municipalities by the national government should be reexamined
Thomas Aronsson Magnus Wikström
Press releases 2021.12.21
Local Taxation and Economic Incentives, English summary 49.2 KB PDF
Swedish municipalities and regions have incentives to raise taxes more than what is optimal from society's point of view, according to economists Thomas Aronsson and Magnus Wikström. It also seems as if this tendency is reinforced by the municipal equalization system. At the same time, the two researchers argue in a new SNS report, there are mechanisms operating in the opposite direction, and it is currently not clear as to which incentives play the dominant role.
The municipalities, regions, and national government largely collect their tax revenues from the same tax base. This means that when, for instance, a municipality increases its tax rate, the tax bases at the regional and national level are ultimately affected as well. However, this is something that local decision-makers do not necessarily take into account.
"Decision-makers in municipalities and regions tend to underestimate what we economists refer to as the marginal cost of public funds, thus choosing a tax rate that is too high. There are several different policy options available for reducing or completely eliminating these distortions," says Thomas Aronsson, professor of economics at the Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics, Umeå University.
This problem would disappear if the national government was the only level allowed to levy taxes. However, there are also benefits associated with local taxation, as many of the public services financed by tax revenues are decided upon and carried out by municipalities and regions.
"Another possibility for the national government would be to use matching grants/penalties in order to affect the incentives at the municipal and regional levels, thereby inducing the correct assessment of the marginal cost of public funds," says Magnus Wikström, also professor of economics at the Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics, Umeå University.
The researchers also point out that the system of municipal income equalization may result in individual municipalities and regions opting for higher tax rates since they are largely compensated through the equalization system.
In a comparison between various potential tax bases, the authors conclude that only the taxation of labor income is suitable for the local level. This is because we need tax bases capable of generating significant revenues, which are also reasonably evenly distributed between municipalities and between regions. Since the assessed values of properties are very unevenly distributed, the researchers point out that a potentially reintroduced property tax should exist at the national level.
This report is published within the framework of the SNS research project Taxes in a Globalised World.

There are many things as dog owners we may sometimes put off doing – be that for a few hours or a few days. However feeding is the one thing we do at least once daily and I know our dogs wouldn't let us forget!
Wet or Dry…? Nutrition is super important – we as humans should try and avoid junk food and eating lots of rubbish, so surely our dogs should be allowed the same. I am a veterinary nurse so analyse and research everything my dogs eat so after doing lots of research into the best types of food for our spaniels and not having the freezer space to try RAW feeding I decided to give Forthglade a try.
Forthglade… The team at Forthglade (based in the neighbouring county of Devon) were super helpful when I contacted them. Having three dogs of differing ages and needs can make feeding one food pretty much impossible. However their 'Just 90%' suits all three dogs perfectly regardless of age and can be mixed in with the Forthglade Cold Pressed kibble which is also suitable for all ages.
When our goodies arrived the dogs were all rather excited! The 'Just 90%' Wet food is steamed in a little water before being packaged so its got all the benefits of a RAW diet, with no added fillers, additives or nasties BUT can be stored in a cupboard which obviously eliminates the need for freezer space! It also means you don't need to remember to defrost anything which is another bonus!
All the ingredients are locally sourced too – so for the environmentally minded, that means less 'food miles' and less impact on the world as less diesel, etc is used to get the product to the plant in Devon.
The Food… So the real test is not which of the 8 delicious flavours to chose from. The real test is if the dogs like it! We did spend a few days as recommended, gradually switching the dogs over from their current food to Forthglade and we can safely say they LOVE it!
The feeding guidelines are easy to follow – all three dogs fall into the medium category now with Jelli being just over 10kg so they all need 1/2 to one tray a day. We decided to give Jelli 1/2 a tray a day alongside her kibble and Bracken and Isla 3/4 of a tray each as they are both a bit bigger – it also made it easy to avoid wastage as it was 2 trays a day between all the dogs. It is important to point out that the trays will keep for two days in the fridge though if you don't use it all at once. Just don't peel the lid off completely and slide the outer sleeve back on.
As Forthglade also make a cold pressed kibble – this means it's still jam packed with goodness as the 100% natural ingredients are cooked very quickly but not at high temperatures so the goodness stay inside. The other huge benefit of Cold Pressed food is it dissolves from the inside out as it isn't dehydrated like normal kibbles – this means it wont expand in your dog's tummy which HUGELY reduced the risk of bloating. This can lead to a condition called a GDV or gastric dilation-volvulus which is when the stomach fills will air and can then twist around. Unless veterinary intervention is sought, the condition is fatal. GDVs are common in deep chested breeds such as setters, retrievers but can occur in any breed.
The Results… We have been feeding Forthglade for almost three weeks now and can already see the difference. A very big difference is the dogs' erm …. poos! Not a pleasant topic but again something as dog owners we need to be responsible for as our dogs aren't able to clear up after themselves! All the dogs have gone from producing 'normal' firm poos to passing much smaller and harder parcels! This means more of the food is being utilised during digestion instead of wasted and passed through so less of my hard earned money is being wasted! This also means less poo bags used on walks!
I have also noticed the dogs have maintained their weight nicely and their coats are beautifully shiny! Jelli has actually put on a bit of weight which is great. As a growing puppy of 9 months she was looking a little bit lean and Forthglade has helped her fill out during this important growth period.
So in conclusion… Forthglade is definitely a diet we will continue! The variety of flavours is great for keeping things varied and the cold pressed kibble is perfect without having additional worries of the dogs bloating after eating. Cost per day is very reasonable for a nutritionally balanced and healthy food with minimal wastage. It may appear a little more expensive than other brands but the quality is far more superior and less waste produced means less money wasted too – not too mention the reduced number of poo bags being used!
Alongside the food Forthglade produce they also have a great range of treats! perfect for training or just treating your pooch! Rest assured the treats are all 100% natural too with no additives or nasties added making Forthglade our food of choice!
Forthglade can be purchased direct from their website http://forthglade.com and if you use this code you can get a whopping 20% off your first order!

This weekend Bellator announced that Eddie Alverez (25-3) had been pulled from his title fight against Michael Chandler (12-1). The next logical step for the Bellator 120 card was to pull Season 9 lightweight tournament winner Will Brooks (14-1) from his main card fight with Nate Jolly and place him into the interim title fight against Chandler.
Brooks, has been on a roll winning four consecutive fights including victories against John Alessio, Saad Awad and Alexander Sarnavskiy to capture the tournament crown.
Although Will Brooks had been preparing for Jolly he told Scifighting, he was ready for chandler, and always has been.
We discussed the short notice switch with Will Brooks and got his thought on his upcoming fight.
Scifighting: How are you prepared for Chandler with only one weeks' notice?
Brooks: I think I am very prepared. I think that's one thing that got the best of me the first time in the tournament, I was looking past everyone else and I was too focused on trying to get ready for Chandler, and ended up losing. It has never changed I have kept him in my review in the back of my mind, so even before I signed with Bellator I was watching video of him and preparing for guys like that. When they gave me the call I didn't hesitate, this is an opportunity and I can't let it past me by.
Scifighting:You indicated in the past you wanted to fight chandler, so when the opportunity arose was it even a question for you?
Brooks: No I mean I have been wanting to fight Chandler for a while now, he's a very talented fighter with an incredible set of tools he brings to the cage. This is part of the game you take these opportunities to fight the best. When I originally signed with Bellator Alverez wasn't even in the picture, and Chandler was the one I wanted to get. He is still the one on my list I've been watching and studying so I am excited to get this opportunity.
Brooks ended with " I didn't get into this job to let great opportunities to pass me by, everything we have been working on, win or lose I am proud of myself and happy with the performance I am going to put on".
Prelims start at 8pmEST on Spike TV and the PPV starts at 10pm EST from the Landers Center in Memphis.
Brooks promises this is not a fight you will want to miss, even on minimal notice he is prepared and equipped to put on a show the fans will definitely need to see.


"If I could encourage every Wells graduate to fully understand one thing, it would be their role and responsibility as a global citizen, with all that that concept entails. Our new Sustainability minor will do a great job of additionally preparing students in any major field of study to take fully informed, more sustainable action when they step into their life path and onto their career track. Helping foster more sustainable human action is a worthy goal on its own; understanding how to shift organizations toward greater sustainability is a highly marketable skillset."
Marian Brown, a sustainability practitioner with over ten years of experience, understands that sustainability as an academic area of study is somewhat akin to "drinking from a fire hose". There is always more to know – the field is ever-changing - there is simply no "end point" to learning about sustainability. That is what makes this field of study exciting – and challenging. In her Intro to Sustainability course, Marian frames sustainability as a decision-making framework for continuous improvement – one that mindfully takes into account the environmental, social and economic impacts of one's choices. Marian takes a hands-on approach to this introductory course, incorporating real-life projects from the students' lived experience and tackling campus operational challenges, to make the concept of sustainability come alive for her students. You will never think about making even simple decisions in quite the same way again!

Degree does help to get a job in the said field."
Machine Learning Engineer job is definitely an interesting yet a bit challenging job. However, the job offers a candidate with ample of opportunities to learn new skills as well. This is the reason why young people want to enter the field when they move forward in their professional life. However, before entering the field, it is imperative to learn about different aspects connected with the said field, such as what are the things that make this field so interesting or what are the challenges connected with the job of a Machine Learning Engineer.
Well, as per experts, when it concerns practical algorithms, there is no dearth of challenges associated with Machine Learning Engineer job. Moreover, most of these challenges surround the skills associated with the machines. For example, if we talk about data, there are many problems concerning the data privacy or data fairness while making sure that you have only good and unbiased data.
Now, the only catch hold of these machine learning models is that a model is as good as the data is treated on it. Thus, when working on your machine models, you need to be assured that you do not have biased data and you are actually representing the exact thing that your model desires to accomplish. However, this can be a bit challenging as incorrect or bias data can lead to problems in a machine learning model.
For example, Twitter in the year 2015 release a bot which was supposed to initiate tweeting on the basis of conversations he had with different users. However, after some time, it was realized that the bot was using bias and racist comments. Eventually, Twitter had to take down the bot. Thus, you need to be careful of this aspect and decide whether you would want your models to be safe or simply misinterpreting. Moreover, this responsibility of making the machine models accurate falls entirely on Machine Learning Engineers.
Well, a technical challenge usually faced by a Machine Learning Engineer is model hosting. A normal misconception about Machine Learning Engineers is that they are usually building models throughout the day. However, this is not correct. Normally, a Machine Learning Engineer's job role may range from hosting the model, data cleaning, to build the pipeline for the actual model. Thus, deep learning about the models is imperative for any Machine Learning Engineer. However, most of these models are usually working at near human or even superior levels. Thus, as a Machine Learning Engineer, you need to be really thorough with your understanding of the things related to Machine Learning models.
Machine Learning is a vast subject and there are many interesting aspects associated with the job. One such part is summarizing large text bodies into smaller ones. This involves using your skills for parsing the document and then providing a succinct summarization of the article. For example, if you get an article concerning someone who is running for the post of US President. Now, the article may contain lots and lots of knowledge and as someone who is doing Machine Learning Engineer job, you would be needed to build an algorithm that can summarize the article into something relevant.
The interesting part here is that you would need deep learning techniques and those who love challenges in their job, this would be the perfect job profile.
As per experts, there are a couple of ways to getting started with a Machine Learning Engineer job. Now, one major way of getting through is to get a Master's degree after school. This way, you would surely be able to get a Machine Learning Engineer's job. There are many firms that mention PhD as a requisite when they are selecting candidates for the said job. Though there are some firms now that are moving away from this criterion as many believe that higher education is not needed to add value to a job field.
Moreover, there are many online classes going for the purpose as well. These classes are getting successful in making many people aware of the basics of the said field. Moreover, the best way to start in this particular field is to build a model on your own and work on some independent projects. There are many research papers available online and free of cost that can assist you in the matter.
In addition, if you have any problems, you can always get guidance from people who posseses advanced degrees and have been working for many years as a Machine Learning Engineer.


Hannah & Daniel's gorgeous Hackersley Winery wedding was everything I hoped it would be.
You might ask, Where is Hackersley Winery? You see there is this beautiful area in the South West called Ferguson Valley, and it happens to have a whole selection of beautiful wineries and Hackerley is nestled there among them. Its set in a rolling green valley, the likes you just don't get in Perth and an area that's very similar to where I grew up (so it just feels like home to me).
I know Hannah and Daniel (South West folk themselves) from photographing Daniel's sister Elyshe's wedding a few years ago and it was a pure pleasure for me to be back with this awesome bunch of people.
Dan waited patiently for Hannah at the ever so quaint St Aidens Church. Well, somewhat patiently. Hannah happened to be a tiny bit late…. There was many tears and proud family looking on as they promised their love to one another, including their gorgeous little girl Amelie, most likely blissfully unaware of the beautiful memory she was a part of.
Together Hannah & Dan navigated the grey (and muddy) hillsides, brightening everything with their smiles. Through all the rain, the icy wind and the frozen toes Hannah & Dan laughed. They never let it phase them, and in my book that says a lot about a person.


YouView has added S4C to its expanding catch-up library.
The on-demand service for the Welsh language channel lets viewers watch programmes for up to 35 days after the original broadcast and sits alongside existing catch-up services including BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5.
YouView customers in Wales can already watch live S4C programmes on channel 4 (Channel 4 is available on channel 8 in Wales), but the S4C catch-up service will bring content to all regions of the UK.
S4C Chief Executive Ian Jones said: "Launching S4C on the YouView platform is a significant step which will place S4C shoulder to shoulder with the UK's other main channels. Our aim is to expand the methods of watching S4C making it easier than ever for people to watch our excellent programming.
In 2012, the publicly-funded S4C was forced to drop its HD channel Clirlun, which was effectively replaced by Channel 4 HD on Freeview in Wales. At the time, Jones spoke of plans to consider different options to deliver HD content to Welsh viewers.
S4C, like BBC iPlayer and 4oD, needs a broadband connection in order to deliver catch-up content on YouView. Once superfast broadband really starts to reach communities across the country thanks to Superfast Cymru and other BDUK plans, the spirit of Clirlun could be reborn through S4C on demand.

#GameStruck4
Posted April 19, 2018 April 24, 2019 Lena
I feel like I should have seen #GameStruck4 coming. It's a permutation of #FilmStruck4, which started with this one tweet:
We want to celebrate the personal nature of cinema and fill your timeline with the films that define you. Pick 4 films and then tag 4 friends to do the same! #FilmStruck4
We're tagging: @rianjohnson @Lilfilm @ava @RichardSHarmon pic.twitter.com/mPkChvniBY
— FilmStruck (@FilmStruck) April 17, 2018
I'd never heard of Filmstruck before. As someone who does PR, I'd say this social media campaign is a resounding success. Filmstruck started by tagging four big people in film, who cascaded the modern-era chain letter until people who weren't tagged started joining in for fun. Now there are permutations like #GameStruck4, and people are wondering where that came from and tracing it back to #FilmStruck4, even if they missed seeing it over the past couple of days. Filmstruck has put its name in front of zillions of eyeballs, even if not everyone bothers to research and find out that it's a streaming service for classic movies.
I thought about doing #FilmStruck4 yesterday, but it was pretty easy to pick four movies and then I felt too lazy to actually put the tweet together. Then this morning I saw #GameStruck4 and had to stop and think.
#FilmStruck4
For #FilmStruck4, my list is simple:
Labyrinth must be the first thing I choose; it's been my go-to "favorite movie" for as long as I can remember. From David Bowie playing such a delightful villain to the array of strange characters given life as muppets, it's the one I always reach for when asked to name my fave.
Speed; it's not my favorite action movie anymore (The Jackal now holds that place in my heart), but it was my first favorite action movie and the one that started teaching me to love explosions.
The Matrix also must be included by default; it's the masterpiece movie of my teenagehood. A recent re-watching made me see that to this day, it's even better than I realized. (Two Keanu Reeves movies is an accident; I'm not really a fan, so I don't know how he ends up in a lot of my favorites.)
That leaves one more, and while there are multiple things that could go in here, I have to give it to Moon Child. How many people in the west even know this movie exists? I found out about it because the lead roles are played by Japanese singers I like. When I watched it, though, I fell in love with it in a way I wasn't expecting. I started to recognize the qualities of Asian dramas — and the acting in them — that really appeal to me. This is also where I developed a taste for serious stories broken up by moments of humor.
Honorable Mentions: Reservoir Dogs, Howl's Moving Castle, Pacific Rim, a handful of Disney classics, Toy Story
#AnimeStruck4
It's easy for me to make a mental leap from Moon Child to my favorite anime, Fullmetal Alchemist. Is there an #AnimeStruck4 hashtag? Yup. Here goes:
Fullmetal Alchemist is the anime I chose to represent my love of anime over the years when I got my first tattoo. It's a paragon of anime (and manga) excellence, a great story with fleshed-out characters. I connect it to Moon Child because it goes down some very dark paths but avoids staying too heavy for too long by interspersing regular bouts of silliness. FMA does that more deliberately and far better than Moon Child does, though.
Although this list starts with my current favorite, it would be incomplete without Robotech. This early western franken-anime was cobbled together from parts of three different anime and given a dub. It played a big part in anime's migration to the west, making it historically significant. Personally speaking, it was that badass cartoon Dad had on VHS tapes that I ruined by watching so much. It's how I got into anime and giant robots; without it, I would not be who I am today.
The Vision of Escaflowne is a rare beast, being an anime not based on a manga. It's a weird mix of shojo and shonen stuff and the result is unlike any other anime. It also has an amazing soundtrack and was how I found out a lot of anime was censored on TV in the west at the time.
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi is a sci-fi show with deep, meaning-of-life stuff disguised at first as a wacky high school drama. Setting things in high school is an overused trope in Japan, but this one does it unlike anything else I've encountered and I can't overstate how good this show — and the book series it's based on — is.
Honorable Mentions: S.cry.ed, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Ultimate Weapon Girlfriend, Full Metal Panic!, Code Geass, Gundam 08th MS Team, Sword Art Online, Gravitation
Books and Finally, Games
A #BookStruck4 list is similarly easy for me to put together (Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Starship Troopers, Howl's Moving Castle). But games? I have two to start with, two that must be on the list:
Final Fantasy VII taught me that games could be like interactive books. That realization was when I started to understand the power of gaming as a storytelling medium. I wasn't just along for the ride; I was driving the car.
Journey, which captures pure emotion so brilliantly.
Picking Two More
…and then what? Some Zelda game seems like an obvious choice, given that the tattoo I've always wanted is triforce on the hand, but which one do I pick? A Link to the Past, which my little brother and I played through together? Ocarina of Time, which is easily the Zelda game I've played most? Wind Waker, which had the coolest explosions of any Zelda game? Breath of the Wild, which made something I typically can't stand, open world gaming, fun? How do I narrow that down? Wait, that was four — let's just call that my #ZeldaStruck4. Next!
Hmm, I've always loved strategy games, though I've rarely had time to play them lately. I have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours invested in the Civilization series… but also the Disgaea series… and then there's OG StarCraft, which taught me that I don't have to be good at a game to like it.
There are a zillion RPGs I love for different reasons. Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, not least for the Tiny Tina's Bunkers & Badasses DLC, which captures so much of what makes both Borderlands and D&D great, then turns out to tie into the main game in a way that made me cry. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars taught me to love crossovers in general; without that I would never have been hype for Kingdom Hearts. It also taught me never to rent a game in the days before memory cards. Chrono Cross taught me to appreciate something for what it is rather than what I want it to be and also made me realize how awesome video game soundtracks could be.
Broadening Horizons
I could go on, but ultimately what it comes down to is that I have so many formative moments related to video games that it's so much harder to pick just four for that than for any of the other media I enjoy. What do I pick to represent my faith in the power of games as a teaching tool? As art?
I think the only way I can pick a #GameStruck4 is if I don't restrict myself to digital games. Then D&D, which I grew up playing with my family (my Dad was the best DM) must also have a slot. As should Monopoly, which I fucking hate because it's such a bad game.

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things."

Does Good Friday really matter?
I MISSED GOOD FRIDAY THIS EASTER.
We left for the airport in Samoa late on Thursday evening to catch our flight to New Zealand, and a few hours later arrived in Auckland – early on Saturday morning, En route we had crossed the International Dateline and lost a whole day: Good Friday!
But celebrating Resurrection Sunday without experiencing Good Friday felt incomplete and unsatisfying. For resurrection can only follow death. Christ's glory could only follow his suffering. No pain, no gain!
The central Christian message – the gospel Paul preached to the Corinthians – was that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). By this gospel, says Paul, we are saved.
This Biblical account of the death and resurrection of Christ was commemorated by a faithful minority all over Europe this weekend – and next weekend will be celebrated by the Orthodox faithful.
The vast majority today, however, live as though Good Friday simply doesn't matter. For post-Christian and post-modern Europeans, stories about Jesus' death are simply myths irrelevant to life in the twenty-first century. For both Muslim Europeans and fans of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code best-seller, Jesus never died on the cross. According to Brown, he married Mary Magdalene and sired an ancestor of European royalty. Muslims claim Jesus simply swooned on the cross, later to recover in the coolness of the grave.
Even one of my favourite writers, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, whose books often apply penetrating biblical insights to vexing contemporary issues, rejects Christian claims about the Easter events. In his (standard Jewish) view, the death and resurrection of Jesus was not the fulfilment of Old Testament themes of atonement, and thus not the central 'salvation' event in human history.
So on what grounds do Christians claim that Good Friday really does matter?
In the first place, historical. 'Sunday' only makes sense if 'Friday' really happened. No crucifixion? No resurrection. And vice versa. Without the resurrection, the cross was simply a tragic dead end. The reports of these space-time events can still be investigated from the distance of two thousand years. No contemporary Jew would have made up this story. No one would have chosen for a messiah who suffered so shamefully. No one would have made women the first witnesses of the resurrection. The original eye-witnesses-listed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8-had to piece the evidence together and arrive at the logical and inescapable conclusion. What they had witnessed in both the death and resurrection of Jesus, they came to realise, was nothing less than the hinge event of human destiny.
And in the second place, theological. Theologians have explained the cross in at least three ways:
· as a demonstration of God's great love;
· as a ransom paid to free us from the hold of evil captive forces;
· and, as a necessary perfect sacrifice to atone for human sin.
Recently in English evangelical circles, this last point has flared up into controversy, as some have claimed that 'substitutionary atonement' falsely justified violence and individualism.
Sometimes these emphases and their variants have been unnecessarily pitted against each other. But they each reflect facets of biblical truth. They each can affect how we live our contemporary lives. Europeans need to rediscover the love of God as still the most transforming power on earth – for individuals, families, communities and nations. We all must recognise our need for deliverance from the very real forces of darkness at work in Europe in corporate structures, social institutions and centres of power as much as anywhere else on our planet.
And each of us needs to be forgiven, to know that we are forgiven, and to be released to forgive others and break the cycle of vengeance, bitterness and envy all too prevalent in Europe today.
That's why Good Friday really does matter. So next year I'll plan my travel more carefully!
Who the heck was George?

JWU on the Rise
Johnson & Wales University Annual Report 2021–2022
VIEW ANNUAL REPORT
Johnson & Wales is powered by a belief that every student deserves a high-quality education that can prepare them for success in a meaningful career. JWU takes intentional steps to embrace a teacher-scholar model, strengthen the student experience, and build upon our strong connections with industry to engage students in real world learning. Over the past year, JWU faculty and students have engaged in exciting research and scholarship and the university continued to invest in high-impact practices that support a quality education for our students.
Letter from the Chancellor
As a business school founded by two women 108 years ago, being strategic, forward thinking and focused on the future is in our DNA. That leadership and vision continue today as we enter into the second year of Powered by Purpose 2024, the first component of a 10-year vision to position Johnson & Wales as an innovative and comprehensive university that prepares students for careers and leadership in a wide range of industries. When U.S. News & World Report released its Best Colleges rankings in September 2022, it was gratifying to see the hard work of our faculty and staff over the last year being recognized nationwide. The Providence Campus moved up 24 spots to be ranked at 70 in Regional Universities, North, and the Charlotte Campus is listed at 19 in the Regional Colleges, South category. Guided by Powered by Purpose 2024, we continue to advance our reputation of academic excellence through successful accreditations and the creation of new business and health offerings, including the launch of an accelerated second degree nursing program for those who already have earned a bachelor's degree. This year, we celebrate 50 years of culinary educational excellence and are reminded of its unique and powerful impact on universitywide programming. Our industry ties have deepened through the establishment of college advisory councils, and our Guild Education collaboration has now opened the door to the Disney workforce. By right-sizing our university system, our debt has been reduced, our endowment is more robust, and there is new revenue to invest in the Providence and Charlotte campuses. Looking to the future, we are well positioned to deliver on our founders' mission to provide students with an excellent education to reach their fullest potential, whether that student is enrolled in Providence, Charlotte, or virtually through the College of Professional Studies. We deeply appreciate the philanthropy we have received that has allowed us to strengthen Johnson & Wales' sound fiscal foundation. We continue to build on the culture of giving and engagement through new ways that connect and support the JWU community. The university's annual day of giving; oneJWU: 24 hours; and the End of the Fiscal Year campaign are some of the many ways JWU's fundraising efforts have supported operational needs. Through the generosity of more than 2,800 donors and by successfully securing funding from foundations and government grants, nearly $3 million has been raised in support of our students. We are grateful for the many donations we have received, including $227,345 from the Davis Foundation for the Faculty Center for Academic Excellence in Innovation and the $1.25 million Predominantly Black Institutions (PBI) grant from the U.S. Department of Education to support first-year students' retention and success. With your ongoing support, the university can promote student learning as we expand and enhance Johnson & Wales' academic reach and reputation through research and scholarship. Across our Providence and Charlotte campuses, we remain oneJWU — united by our mission and powered by purpose.
Forever JWU.

Reading this book was certainly an entertaining experience.
Margaret Taylor, wife of Zachary Taylor, actually prayed every night that her husband would not get elected President. She felt his health was not up to the job and she was proven right—he died after barely a year in office.
Eliza Johnson, wife of President Andrew Johnson, was so frugal that she even bought cows to graze on the White House lawn in order to provide fresh milk.
Lucy Hayes and her husband Rutherford Hayes were not exactly the fun-loving party types. They banned liquor in the White House, forbid card-playing, dancing, and even playing pool. Lucy filled the White House billiard room with plants.
Unlike most first ladies, Eleanor Roosevelt had no interest in preparing elaborate meals for guests. In fact, when the king and queen of England came to visit Hyde Park, Eleanor served them hot dogs.
President James Garfield was an unrepentant womanizer. He even had the gall to introduce his wife Lucretia to some of his mistresses. Talk about a miserable marriage.
As a husband, Lyndon Johnson was a dictator. For this I will quote the book: "Lady Bird was directed to shine his shoes, bring him breakfast in bed, keep his cigarette lighter filled, and more. . .He also insisted that she learn about his job, assigning her names, addresses, and other details to memorize. And as if all that weren't challenging enough, she had to deal with the rumors about her husband's extramarital affairs." Poor Lady Bird!
There is much more to read in Secret Lives of the First Ladies. Every chapter gives the reader a fascinating glimpse of each first lady, giving a sense of their personalities and characters.
My one criticism: Author O'Brien is obviously not a Trump fan. His description of First Lady Melania was the only one that was downright unflattering. I didn't appreciate the mud-slinging and lack of civility of today's partisan politics in her description.
So glad you mentioned that the author was not fair to Mrs. Trump. Had thought the book would be something I would read but have decided I will not buy it. Perhaps you might let the author know that many are tired of writers, actors, professors, etc. pushing their political ideologies on the unsuspecting.
Patricia, I believe the author was not fair to Mrs. Trump. I pointed that out, but other than that, I do believe the book was a very entertaining read and do recommend it.

Child abuse can be defined under categories such as Physical Child Abuse, Neglect (is also a form of child abuse) and Sexual abuse. We need to make sure that our children are safe from such evils and we can do so by carefully monitoring our children and being there for them. We need to be on a lookout for the signs, as they tend to appear in children who are being sexually abused.
What Can We Do to Keep Our Child Safe from Child Abuse?
Try educating about given below tips to our teen, tweens to better shield them from child abuse. Read these points carefully.
Child abuse is not defined by age, hence at a very early age, we need to explain the concept of good and bad touch. They need to be told the difference between normal sexual behavior and inappropriate and offensive sexual behavior. Understanding this helps a child to cope with their feeling and peer pressure. They are more likely to take charge of their lives and close relationships in the years to come.
We need to instill in them the importance of the right to their privacy. We need to encourage the confidence in them so if they feel that their privacy is being invaded they object and tell an adult about it.
Child abuse can be stopped from reoccurrence if the parents pass on the information about an abuser to the other members of the family, extended family, and the society.
Developing and nurturing a strong bond within the family so the child has well-developed self-esteem and is full of confidence. Home should be the safest place for a child and the child should feel comfortable discussing and opening up to the adults.
We need to foster the decision-making ability and assertiveness among children to avoid child abuse.
What Are the Classic Signs of Child-abuse?
Child abuse will manifest into a lot of signs and symptoms that we can keep a look out for and take appropriate action if need be.
Depression, Anxiety, Jumpy behavior and Aversion to touch.
Extreme reactions like self-mutilation and staying hungry.
Isolating oneself from people, withdrawn and lack of concentration resulting in poor school performance.
Personality changes are also very common like a happy child might turn into an insecure and clingy child.
Most often the abuser is part of the extended family or friends of the family. We need to keep a lookout for any individual or grown-up who is part of the family or extended family exhibiting exploitive and manipulative behavior towards a child. The abuser usually spends or wants to spend time alone with the child and becomes very protective about the child.
In case the child displays secretive behavior towards a particular individual then it is a sign of child abuse.
How Should A Parent React to the Knowledge of Child Abuse?
Children pick the vibe from the parents and it is advisable that when a child comes forward with the information of abuse that we as parents are calm and collected. We should understand that it has taken a lot of courage from the child's part to come forward with this information hence we need to be reassuring the child that things will get better and coming forward was the right thing to do.
In most cases of child abuse, the parents do not believe the child since the family knows the abuser but we need to make sure that we trust and believe all that our child has to tell us.
Most of all we need to listen patiently; we should not push the child for information or details of information. We need to be sensitive and wait for the child to divulge the information in good time.
We need to make sure that the child knows that the abuse was not his/ her fault and there the problem lies with the abuser.
Seek professional help, at least a child counselor and make sure that your child talks to a sexual abuse counselor so as to not have lasting psychological damage.
In most cases of Child abuse, with proper professional intervention, family support, and love, the child is able to get over the trauma and is able to have a healthy and happy life ahead.
I have always been somewhat over-observant about any signs that show my child may have been subjected to inappropriate behavior. It always helps to let the child know that they can come and tell us about it, even if someone warns them not to - and repeat this conversation every once in a while.


There is a highly organized anti-Islamic movement in the United States. Its participants are aggressive, vocal and view all Muslims as a threat to liberal democracy. They are proactive on social media, and they are remarkably fast in adding hateful comments onto any piece of digital content that mentions Islam. They have come to Security Debrief on more than one occasion to empty their verbal trashcans in the comments section, and what they write is quite simply hate speech—cherry-picking religious passages to suit their arguments, making generalizations so broad they are outright lies, re-interpreting history to present a false narrative that pits people against one another.
Sounds a lot like what ISIS and other terrorist groups do in their recruitment efforts, doesn't it?
It's easy enough to counter the arguments of the anti-Islamic movement. They don't have any real understanding of the religion—only rhetoric, faulty quotations, and fear- and hate-mongering messages. Yet, hundreds of learned people have rushed to the public square to argue against these extremist narratives and with little result. Debates against anti-Muslim extremists usually only serve to heighten their message.
This is not an academic problem. It has a real impact on Americans.
Meanwhile, parents are afraid to discuss this topic with their children (at a time when ISIS and others are proactively targeting their children for radicalization) for fear they will go to school and say, "My mom and dad were talking about jihad and…" And here comes the FBI.
This environment of fear prohibits the necessary religious discussions that happen with every other religion in every household across the country. In a very real way, the anti-Islamic movement and the constant anti-Islamic sentiments that are emerging in this heated election cycle are depriving Muslim Americans of their right to liberty and freedom from oppression. Simply because someone is not legally precluded from a God-given right does not mean they aren't oppressed. If you're not Muslim, imagine being afraid to discuss your faith with your children. Is that the mark of a free country?
The anti-Islamic movement can and should receive responses from educated people who can pick apart the falsehoods in their narratives, but this is not enough. All Americans of every faith—no matter their knowledge of Islam—have an opportunity this month to show their fellow citizens that this country is still a land where people of all faiths can peacefully and respectfully live together. It's simple to express this; it only takes two words: Happy Ramadan.
If there is an aspect to Islam that is undeniably good, it's Ramadan. The annual practice of fasting during daylight hours is designed to remind all those who observe it that there are many people in this world who do not have the luxury of eating every day. The purpose of Ramadan is to be viscerally aware of how painful it is to go without food and water, and from that, extract the empathy needed to engender a proactive, faithful community that looks after those in need. This is an admirable act of faith. It cannot be twisted by the anti-Islamic movement. There is no message to spin. It is inherently good.
It is also an opportunity. The United States remains Christian majority, and during Christmas and Easter, it is common (if not expected) that Christians (and even secular folks) will exchange the greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy Easter. Think of the positivity, the connectedness, the sense of unity that is borne of wishing someone a happy holiday. It reaches beyond the everyday social exchanges; it touches something intensely personal. It is a point of bonding between citizens.
That is precisely what we need at a time when our fellow citizens who are Muslim feel that they are somehow distinct from the Nation, somehow not quite as American as non-Muslims. We, non-Muslim Americans, need to proactively show that we respect and encourage the beliefs of our countrymen and women; we need to express the unity that has made this country the greatest and freest in the history of the world. And we can do that in a way that is meaningful, respectful and does not require any knowledge of Islam by simply saying to our Muslim friends, colleagues, coworkers, and acquaintances, Happy Ramadan. For those who wish to use a more traditional phrase, you can say Ramadan Kareem or Ramadan Mubarak, which both basically mean Happy Ramadan. You can also say "salam," which means peace.
In the United States, it does not matter what faith you espouse provided you agree that each of us is born with inalienable rights that must be preserved through law. That is what makes someone American. You can agree to this uniquely American sentiment no matter if you are Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Sheikh, Zoroastrian, following an indigenous belief—and yes, even if you are Muslim.
Beyond showing support for our fellow citizens (which is virtuous unto itself and needs no reason), fostering unity between people of all faiths is essential to the ongoing effort to combat violent extremism. To be sure, there are numerous extremist ideologies that drive violence and death, and only one of them claims some relation to Islam. Yet, ISIS and groups like it are highly skilled at luring young, ignorant people down a dangerous, evil path. The only long-term solution to this trend is to buttress American communities with the support and information they need to identify terrorist recruiters, counter their messages and protect their children. This is the case for communities of all faiths, but given the outsized threat ISIS poses today, it is particularly important that all Americans rally around our Muslim communities to help put an end to those who would corrupt our young people.
During the month of Ramadan, which began on the evening of June 5 and is expected to conclude on the evening of July 5, it is important that we all take the opportunity to wish peace and positivity to our fellow citizens who are Muslim. It lets everyone know that we will not be divided by hate, and we will not allow people of ill will to spread narratives that spark conflict within the American family. This is the United States, and we need to act like it.
