Mahābhārata – Episode 103 – Aśvamedha-yāga and the Mongoose Story
A R Krishna Sastri
This article is part 103 of 112 in the series Mahābhārata
Dharmarāja went to the Himalayas with his younger bothers and gathered the ingredients required for the Aśvamedha-yāga. He also found large quantities of wealth there. He got them loaded on to the backs of elephants and camels and got his servants bring them to the capital city. Days rolled on and the day of the yāga came closer. Kṛṣṇa came to Hastinagara with his sister Subhadrā, brother Balarāma and several other Yādavas. Uttarā gave birth to a baby boy when Kṛṣṇa was in Hastināpura. Just as was expected, the baby was born dead. Everyone in the family was thrilled as there was a newborn in the lineage, but their pleasure was short lived. The baby was dead the next moment because of the effect of the arrow hurled on it by Aśvatthāma. Kuntī, Draupadī, Subhadrā and all others present there begged Kṛṣṇa to bring it back to life – "Kṛṣṇa! You had promised us that you would bring the baby back to life if he was found to be lifeless at birth. If you bring it back to life, we will all survive. All our lives reside in that baby now!"
Kṛṣṇa then said – "If it is true that I have never lied in the past even for fun and if I have never stepped back on the battlefield, may be baby get back its life. Dharma and brāhmaṇas have always been dear to me. If Dharma and Satya are still residing in me, may this baby come back to life!" He touched it from its feet until its head. The next moment the baby started breathing. As the baby was born after everyone belonging to the Kuru lineage had examined it, it came to be called 'Parikshit'.
All preparations were done for conducting the yajña. They let a horse free to roam around. Arjuna went behind the horse as its main guardian. Dharmarāja took up the dīkṣā. Arjuna won over the provinces of Tirgarta, Prāgjyotiṣa and Sindhu and went ahead to Maṇalūrapura. Babhruvāhana who was ruling Maṇalūrapura was the son of Arjuna through Citrāṅgadaa. He welcomed his father with reverence and did not capture the Aśvamedha horse. Arjuna was not happy because of this. He said "If I had come here without carrying weapons, then all the respect you have displayed would have been relevant. I have come here, prepared for a war. It is right for you to welcome me in a peaceful manner? This isn't the dharma of the Kṣatriyas!" Upon hearing this, Ulūpī, Arjuna's wife from the Nāga clan came out from the earth. She looked at her step-son who stood there with his head bent down and said "Dear child! Go, fight Arjuna! He will be pleased if you do so". Inspired by her words, Babhruvāhana captured the horse and instigated Arjuna to fight with him. Arjuna was happy looking at the valour displayed by his son. Babhruvāhana, out of his juvenile enthusiasm shot an arrow at Arjuna's chest who fell to the ground losing his consciousness. Babhruvāhana too fainted, as he was tired due to constant fighting. Citrāṅgada who came to know of this rushed to the battlefield. She was heart-broken seeing both her husband and son fallen unconscious there. She reprimanded Ulūpī – "It is only because of you that all this happened!"
In the meantime, Babhruvāhana regained consciousness and saw that his mother was crying next to his father's motionless body! He was deeply saddened because of this. He even got scared thinking that he might have killed his father. He decided that he too would end his life if Arjuna had been killed. Ulūpī then thought of the Sañjīvini-maṇi and the next moment it was in her palm. She gave it to Babhruvāhana and said – "Please place this on your father's chest. He will regain consciousness. You did not kill him. He came here only to see your fighting skills. I knew this very well and that is why I instigated you to fight!"
Arjuna woke up as the Sañjīvini gem touched him. "This is the prāyaścitta you have undergone for having killed Bhīṣma. If not, you would have gone down an ugly path after-life" Ulūpī variously consoled him.
Thereafter, Arjuna left from the place and went through the provinces of Cedi, Kāśi, Kosala and Gāndhāra. He defeated the kings of those regions, gathered the tribute they offered and returned to Hastināpura.
The yāga was performed with a great deal of celebration. Kings and guests were provided with great hospitality. There were heaps and heaps of rice, jars filled with ghee, streams of sweet liquid and lakes filled with liquor and other drinks. The quantity of food served there was unmatched. People from all over the country spoke about the great yāga. Dharmarāja donated huge amounts of money and gems to everyone who attended the event. He got rid of his pāpa by performing the yāga and then entered the city.
Something strange took place at the end of the yajña. All the guests were satisfied with the proceedings of the yajña and were contented with the gifts they had received. All of a sudden, a mongoose came out from a hole. Half of its body from the head to the tip of its tail was golden. It cried out loud and sounded like thunder. Then, it started speaking in a human-like voice –
"Dear Kings! The yajña that has just been performed cannot match the dāna of a handful of flour that this brāhmaṇa did in the past!"
The people assembled there asked him who he was and what was the story. The mongoose started narrating its tale:
There once lived a brāhmaṇa who made a living by collecting nuts and beans in the Kurukṣetra region (This sort of living is called 'ūñca-vṛtti'). He lived with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. Once, he was not able to find any nuts fallen around which he could pick up. He returned home empty-handed. There was no food at home and his family had to starve on the particular day. The next day, he roamed around many places and finally managed to collect some amount of barley flour. He handed it over to his family, got a meal cooked and as they sat down to have their meal, a guest appeared at their doorstep. The brāhmaṇa welcomed him, offered him water and gave him his share of the flour. As the guest was very hungry, the food offered to him was not sufficient. The brāhmaṇa host then requested his wife to offer her share. That did not suffice either. He served the guest with the share of his son and daughter-in-law. With this, the guest's hunger was satiated. Though the man of the house was sad that he had to snatch away the share of the food that was meant for his family, none of his family members seemed to brother about it. They were all happy that their guest was now contented.
The guest then said – "Sir! The dāna that you have made is of the best kind. You have offered whatever you had earned in a dhārmic manner. Your forefathers will be rightly rewarded because of your good deeds. The devatās too are happy because of the tapas you have performed. Hunger hampers the intellect and can prove to be a hinderance to dhārmic thoughts. Wisdom is lost and courage is weakened. Conquering hunger is like conquering the heavens. You hardly cared for your own comfort and even did away with the comfort of your beloved ones for the sake of dharma. You considered dharma to be the supreme value and performed this dāna. A person who donates to the right person at the right time will certainly reach svarga. The quantity donated does not matter and it is only the feeling with which dāna is performed that matters the most. It is said that even if a drop of water is offered with pure heart to a person in need, the donor will reach the heavens. The small courtesies and little deeds of goodness that a man performs during his lifetime win the heart of (Yama) Dharma. Your today's donation cannot be matched by kings who perform Rājasūya and Ashvamedha yāgas. You are going to reach the Brahmaloka just because of the handful of flour that you donated today. Look there! The vimāna has arrived. All of you go, board it!"
After they all flew away, I came out of my burrow. My body came in contact with the left over flour that was fallen there and because of that, my head and half my body turned golden. With the wish to make the remaining part of my body golden, I have been roaming several tapovanas and am present at all yajñas and yāgas. I heard that Dharmarāja was performing a yajña and came here with much enthusiasm. My body, however, did not turn golden. It is for this reason that I have stated that this yajña is not equivalent to the daana offered by the brāhmaṇa back then." With these words, the mongoose left the place.
Vaiśampāyana who was narrating all this to Janamejaya added - "Agastya won the goodwill of Indra merely by performing Dhyāna-yajña. Non-violence, contentment, honesty, good character, sincerity and steadfastness – these are the best of virtues."

The Method of the Bhagavatam


There is a new approach to losing weight that is gaining momentum. It is now recognized that someone who is overweight is likely to have poor 'metabolic fitness' which means fat burning/fat storing hormones are unbalanced and inner systems and processes are not working as efficiently as they should be. Losing body fat becomes very difficult if not impossible.
This is the main reason why 95 percent of diets fail. If you are not prepared to take the necessary steps to rebalance your body first then spending time, effort and money on diet and exercise programs will not solve your overweight problem. This is not some new 'fad' dietary approach but stone-cold research based fact.
A healthy person does not carry excess body fat. So, by building your 'metabolic fitness' back and improving your health everything else will then fall into place. If you have been overstressing your body with restrictive 'diets' or too much long duration, low intensity exercise regimes you have likely been causing damage to your metabolism (your body's engine).
This is where the burning of body fat hits a plateau and your body will not longer respond to the stress you are putting on it. This not only makes weight loss virtually impossible it risks overall health as well.
You need to retrain your brain that you need to be healthy to lose weight, not lose weight to be healthy. Building back your health should be your first priority with weight and body fat loss ranking as a distant second. This means no longer falling for 'get thin' quick schemes that give nothing but false promises.
To move forward and begin the rebuilding process the first thing to implement is a proper strength training exercise program as it is the only thing that will tone up and restore the fat burning efficiency of muscle tissue. Toned and healthy muscles are what drive the metabolism and burn body fat. It is within the muscle cells that fuel is burned for energy.
Weak flabby muscles are what we get these days in our sedentary and inactive world and they have low energy requirements so restoring their health is the number one priority. This approach is based on increasing the amount of fuel (calories) we burn so we burn more than we take in. The old outdated approach was all about eating less than we burn which worked against the metabolism and made us unhealthy in the process.
When you have your exercise program in place tidy up your eating plan and this means getting rid of as much processed non-nutrient so called 'foods' as possible. You know the ones in pretty boxes and packets full of unhealthy chemicals that screw up our hormones and make our body store fat instead of burning it.
Replace these 'nasties' with 'whole' foods – lean proteins, healthy carbohydrates and fats. This means getting back into the kitchen and cooking from scratch. This is the only way you know what is in your food. If you want to get healthy and lose that excess body fat there is no way around this. But you can make it enjoyable and even fun as you increase your skills in the kitchen and soon you will not want to eat anything loaded with unhealthy chemicals.
So, these two strategies, your proper strength training program 2-3 times each week and your small healthy meals each with a portion of protein are your ticket back to not only a healthy disease proof body but a lean, strong, shapely one as well.

100-Plus LGBTQ Icons and Iconoclasts Who Are Shaping Culture in L.A. and Beyond
In honor of pride month, we're celebrating queer folks who are making L.A., well, proud
Steven Blum and R. Kurt Osenlund
From art to activism to academia, LGBTQ Angelenos are transforming the city. Meet the people leading the way.
Robert Greenblatt
Television executive
Courtesy Time Warner
Ever since he began his career at Fox Broadcasting, Robert Greenblatt has climbed steadily up the Hollywood ladder. At Fox, where he ran primetime programming, Greenblatt oversaw such hits as The X-Files and Melrose Place. Following that gig he served as president of entertainment for Showtime, a producer for the musical version of 9 to 5, and chairman and president of NBC Entertainment—a job that made him the first (and only) openly gay broadcast TV president. In March he was named chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment—one of the most powerful posts in Hollywood, where he oversees HBO, Cinemax, TBS and TNT.
SHAYAN ASGHARNIAN/AUGUST
Lena Waithe
Writer, producer, actor
Ever since winning an Emmy in 2017 for her writing on Netflix's Master of None (and delivering an indelible acceptance speech about queer empowerment), Lena Waithe, 35, has become a prolific creative hero, especially among the queer black community. Her Showtime series, The Chi, recently began its second season; she serves as producer on Boomerang BET, which also just ordered her comedy series, Twenties; and HBO's Westworld recently added her to the cast. And her Met Gala look still has people talking.
MIKE COPOLLA/GETTY IMAGES
Actor, comedian
After playing a loudmouthed New Yorker who accosts passersby with nonsensical trivia questions ("For one dollar, name a woman!"), Eichner, 40, has become a political lightning rod, as beloved by his 2.2 million Twitter followers for his bitter rants about Trump as he is for his brutally funny social commentary. After playing Timon in this summer's live-action The Lion King remake, he'll be starring in a gay rom-com produced by Judd Apatow about "two men with commitment problems."
Danielle Levitt/August
Last year Janelle Monáe, 33, shed her android persona and came out in the pages of Rolling Stone: a cathartic moment for fans of her afrofuturist aesthetic and genre-bending style of music. She's also broken fresh ground in bop-worthy hits like "Make Me Feel" and "Pynk"—both instant classics whose videos featured pink-blue "bisexual" lighting and vagina pants, respectively.
RYAN PFLUGER/AUGUST
Ryan O'Connell
Writer, actor
Cerebral palsy? Not inherently funny. But in the capable hands of a boundary-pushing scribe like Ryan O'Connell, 32, the condition is a conduit to honesty and self-acceptance—and an excuse for one of the most spot-on depictions of gay sex in TV history. Special, O'Connell's autobiographical hit Netflix series, premiered in April and is already changing Hollywood's narrative around disability.
Gary Gershoff/Getty Images
As the director of last year's Love, Simon, the first major studio film to showcase a gay teen romance, Greg Berlanti, 47, gave hope to countless queer young people, who came in droves to see themselves reflected at the multiplex (the movie grossed an impressive $66 million). The Golden Globe nominated writer, producer, and film director is known for his work on the television series Dawson's Creek, Brothers & Sisters, Everwood, as well as several projects with DC Comics. In 2018, Berlanti set a record by having an unprecdented 18 different live-action scripted television series planned to air in the 2018–19 television season on various networks and digital platforms,. He recently signed the most expensive producer deal to date with Warner Bros. And last the TV giant and his soccer-star husband, Robbie Rogers, announced the arrival of their second child.
The Cast of Boys in the Band
San Cha
Texas Isaiah
San Cha, 31, records rancheras that draw from the fantasy and drama of telenovelas, weaving in lyrics that criticize the myth of the American dream. Her songs are distinctly queer and unmistakably L.A.—not altogether surprising given the performer was nurtured by our city's thriving Latinx music scene.
Hannah Gadsby
Last year Tasmanian comic Hannah Gadsby, 41, upended the stand-up world when her bittersweet show Nanette became a Netflix smash. This year she's bringing back her heartfelt and brutally honest stage style with a new show, Douglas, which hits L.A.'s Theatre at Ace Hotel in July. Her new memoir, Ten Steps to Nanette, will also drop later this year.
You don't need a fluid view of sexuality to appreciate St. Vincent's ambitious experimental pop, but it's a bonus that the 36-year-old star's persona is one LGBTQ folks can rally behind. Her 2017 album, Masseduction, was such a success it quickly spurred a paired-down redux. As for her erotically charged duet with Dua Lipa at this year's Grammys? Instantly iconic.
MAARTEN DE BOER/GETTY IMAGES
Recently seen at Coachella in self-styled swag, 20-year-old Amandla Stenberg has launched herself into the upper echelon of Hollywood's chicest ingenues. In addition to her outspoken activism (in 2015 she was named Feminist of the Year by the Ms. Foundation for Women), the newly out actor has tackled sci-fi in The Darkest Minds and police brutality in The Hate U Give.
GREGG DEGUIRE/GETTY IMAGES
Megan Ellison
The 33-year-old Hollywood super producer behind Annapurna Pictures, Megan Ellison has racked up 52 Oscar nominations in only eight years for such prestige films as Foxcatcher, American Hustle, and Zero Dark Thirty. Still to come this year: buzzworthy new projects from Olivia Wilde and Richard Linklater.
The Culture Czars
Shayan Asgharnia

The Rev. Troy Perry
Religious leader, activist
A decades-long pillar of L.A.'s gay community, the Rev. Troy Perry founded the Metropolitan Community Church in 1968, as a safe refuge for his fellow LGBTQ
believers. The 78-year-old performed some of the nation's first public same-sex unions long before gay marriage was legalized. Under his leadership MCC has grown to more than 200 congregations in 33 countries.
ELISABETH CAREN/GETTY IMAGES
Michelle Rodriguez, 40, hasn't entirely shed the bad-girl image from her early Hollywood years. The bisexual action star, beloved for playing tough broads in films like Fast and Furious and Widows, still sees herself as an outsider to the industry—one fighting to create opportunities for strong women like herself.
Martin Schoeller/Getty Images
At April's White House Correspondents' Dinner, host Ron Chernow—a historian, not a comic—acknowledged that "we need [comedians] now more than ever." That includes people like L.A.-based Cameron Esposito, who, in the same month, joined other queer comedians like Wanda Sykes at the Women in the World Summit to discuss comedy as a means of speaking truth to power. Esposito, 37, gained popularity with her 2016 series, Take My Wife (co-created with her real-life wife, Rhea Butcher), then got especially candid last year with Rape Jokes, her stand-up special that addresses her assault survival and raised awareness for other victims of abuse.
FILMMAGIC/GETTY IMAGES
Jaboukie Young-White
Where isn't Jaboukie Young-White these days? The 24-year-old comedian has left his imprint on everything from The Daily Show to Crashing, Big Mouth, and American Vandal—all in less than two years. Born into a Jamaican family, the Chicago-born writer is known for effortlessly weaving gay and racial subtext into his routines. Young-White's comedy is both laser-specific and universally relatable.
Jon Lovett & Ronan Farrow
Screenwriter, podcaster; journalist
Jon Lovett (left), a former Obama speechwriter, co-hosts the hottest political podcast of the year, Pod Save America, drawing an enviable guest list of Democratic leaders from Hillary Clinton to Obama himself. Ronan Farrow—through fearless investigative journalism in The New Yorker—revealed the scope of the Weinstein scandal and helped kickstart a national conversation about abuse of power. Together, they're the ultimate media power couple after Joe and Mika.
VISIONHAUS/GETTY IMAGES
While we all wait patiently—or impatiently—for Frank Ocean's follow-up to his acclaimed 2016 album, Blonde, we've at least had the chance to get to know the secretive 31-year-old artist a bit more. After releasing tease-worthy singles like 2017's "Slide" (a collaboration with Calvin Harris and Migos) and 2018's "Moon River" (a cover of Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's ballad), Ocean disclosed in Issue 10 of Gayletter that he's been in a relationship for the past three years.
Elliott Morgan
Buck Angel
Performer, educator, activist
Buck Angel has cemented himself as a legend in both the queer community and the adult film industry. During his decades on the scene, the 46-year-old has grown far beyond his once-trademark self-exploitation (such as an infamous interview with Howard Stern in which he acquiesced to being depicted as a sideshow joke). In today's woker world, Angel spends more of his time as a motivational speaker and advocate for other transgender men, giving them advice, for example, on what to ask their gynecologists. And while he retains enough nonchalance to call himself "Tranpa," he no longer needs to comically appease cisgender people. Instead, he focuses on educating them.
DYLAN COULTER
Queenmaker
With a dash of sequins, a heaping dose of social satire, and a canny business sense, RuPaul, 58, has elevated an underground art form and ushered in a whole new generation of subversive stars. To see his impact, look no farther than your local library, where drag queens now host story hours, and Dragcon, an annual celebration that attracts tens of thousands to the Los Angeles Convention Center. RuPaul's Drag Race, meanwhile, averages a million weekly viewers and has won nine Emmys—five of them just last year.
COURTESY SHEILA KUEHL
Sheila Kuehl has led many lives: Child Actor. Lawyer. Politician. The latter venture began in 1994, when Kuehl, now 78, was elected to the California Assembly, becoming the first openly gay person to be elected to the state Legislature. Since then she's been elected to the California Senate and the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, where she continues to serve. Her recent focus has been on battling corruption in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, calling for public disclosure of claims made against the police.
STEVE GRANITZ/GETTY IMAGES
Dubbed "the queen of bisexuality" by adoring fans on Twitter, Halsey, 24, is charting her own queer path in pop music. "Strangers"—recorded with fellow trailblazer Lauren Jauregui—is a far cry from past pop songs that treat same-sex desire as a joke, and the singer continues to use her platform to fight for inclusivity—most recently by calling out the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for its lack of LGBTQ representation.
TODD WILLIAMSON/GETTY IMAGES
Kelly Bush Novak
Public relations executive, producers
When Kelly Bush Novak, 52, launched her PR agency, ID, in '93, she had three clients. Today thanks to her grit, ingenuity, and knack for keeping talent happy, ID-PR is Hollywood's biggest independent PR firm, with over 500 clients ranging from Serena Williams to Seth Rogen. Novak is also a producer at VIE Entertainment, a venture she founded and used to help develop films for Ellen Page, another client.
CHRISTOPHER PATEY
Niki Nakayama
Chef, restaurateur
Born and raised in L.A., Niki Nakayama, 44, worked alongside the city's best sushi chefs. But it wasn't until training in Japan that she found purpose in the elaborate cuisine known as kaiseki. Her acclaimed restaurant, n/naka, which she runs with wife and cochef, Carole Iida-Nakayama, is now in its eighth year and remains L.A.'s most coveted reservation. A featured subject on Netflix's Chef's Table, Nakayama's story is one of dedication and creativity in the male-dominated fine-dining world.
The Art Stars
Christian Witkin
Fashion designer, filmmaker
Tom Ford once remarked that, if he could, he would art direct a word. That alone should paint a picture of the meticulousness of this legendary designer—
a proclivity also highlighted in a recent New York Times interview in which Ford, 57, dissects flower arrangements and bemoans overhead lighting. At this point in the luminary's stunning career, he can lay claim to 39 fragrances, two feature films, six homes, and a firm perch as the king of merging sex with glamour—something he's done while revitalizing Gucci and running his eponymous label. On June 1 he'll assume his new role as chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, succeeding Diane von Furstenberg. It's one more way Ford will influence the
language of art and style.
Indya Moore
Erik Tanner/Getty Images
Indya Moore, a Bronx native, brought a mixture of warmth, pathos, and vulnerability to their masterful performance as Angel in the FX series Pose. Playing a transgender sex worker who falls for a closeted gay man, Moore, 24, shed light on a marginalized subset of the drag ball scene. This year they became one of the first trans models to star in a major Louis Vuitton campaign.
MARTIN SCHOELLER/AUGUST
Actor, singer
Billy Porter has long been celebrated for his work in Broadway shows and revivals (from Kinky Boots to Angels in America), but nothing compares to the booming career revival he's had in the past year. Porter's electric performance as emcee Pray Tell on FX's Pose kicked open doors of all kinds for the entertainer, who this year served as the Council of Fashion Designers of America's sole ambassador for New York Fashion Week Men's and ruled the Oscars red carpet in his show-stopping androgynous suit-gown. At 49, he's been reborn as both a queer and pop culture icon, and that's set to continue with a memoir, a fashion line, a new stage production, and season two of Pose on the way.
GILBERT CARRASCILLO/GETTY IMAGES
Bamby Salcedo
Activist, community organizer
Founder of the L.A.-based [email protected] Coalition, Bamby Salcedo has been a leading voice in protecting the rights of transgender Latinx immigrants. Last year she joined the L.A. rally for #FamiliesBelongTogether National Day of Action (advocating for detained migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border), and this year she has campaigned to stop the deportation of trans asylum seekers.
JOHN SCIULLI/GETTY IMAGES
Karl Schmid
After a decade of speculation, ABC News correspondent Karl Schmid, 38, came out as HIV-positive in March 2018 and soon became a crusader against the stigma of living with HIV. The Australian-born journalist received an outpouring of global support, participating in 2018's first-ever Positive Flame torch procession in Amsterdam and producing a segment outlining the history of HIV in Hollywood at last year's Academy Awards.
The Club Kids
John Tsiavis
Writer, producer, director
One of Hollywood's most prolific hitmakers, Ryan Murphy, 53, pumps out paradigm-shifting TV shows—like Glee, American Horror Story, Feud, and Pose—like it's child's play. His queer sensibility brings a level of baroque sophistication to nearly everything he touches. Last year Netflix signed him to a five-year, $300 million deal that's said to be the largest in TV history.
Unlike some other young pop stars, Troye Sivan, 23, has been open about his identity since his career began (he came out to fans at 18). The fresh-faced former YouTuber has made an art out of peforming in flowy numbers and subverting expectations. In addition to starring in the critical hit Boy Erased, he's spoken out about HIV myths, internalized homophobia, and being gay in the Trump era.
MARTIN SCHOLLER/AUGUST
Ashlee Marie Preston
The 34-year-old media personality and Kentucky native has helped highlight oft-ignored realities in the LGBTQ world—like the somber fact that the average lifespan of a trans woman of color is just 35 years. Formerly homeless, Ashlee Marie Preston was the first trans person to be named editor-in-chief of a publication (Wear Your Voice magazine). Her next project: a documentary about queer life in the South.
TESH AUGUST
Whether she's repping Chanel or stealing the spotlight in a Rolling Stones video, Kristen Stewart, 29, radiates cool confidence and more than un petit peu of sex appeal. After officially coming out on SNL in 2017, she's begun playing more overtly queer characters: She starred as Chloe Sevigny's lover in the 2018 period thriller Lizzie, and her next film is a lesbian romantic comedy about coming out during the holidays.

—The Birds Downtown
HOLYOKE, MASSACHUSETTS + BEYOND | BY GREG SAULMON
The Holyoke Bird List
A Red-bellied Woodpecker I spotted out behind the paper mills today. (c) Greg Saulmon 2012
I've started a list of all the species of birds I've seen in Holyoke. Most — except for the Baltimore Oriole — are birds I've seen since I started this blog just over a year ago. In most cases, I was able to photograph them.
And, most are birds I either saw in the immediate downtown area or within a short walk of downtown (for example, along the Connecticut River). As of mid-November, 2012, the list stands at 43 species.
Most are pretty common. Some aren't.
I'm looking forward to watching it grow.
Common Grackle
Downy Woodpeckers in the park; return of the falcon at Holyoke City Hall
Heritage State Park
(c) Greg Saulmon 2012
I found a pair of Downy Woodpeckers in Heritage State Park during a short walk Monday afternoon. Above, the female; and, below, the male:
In other brief news, after a few months without seeing either of the Peregrine Falcons downtown, I noticed one perched atop City Hall this morning. I'm heading back out with a camera now for a longer observation.
Winter birds in Heritage State Park
I went to Heritage State Park this morning to check on the Kinglet. It's still there, hopping around in the pine trees.
While the Kinglet is most likely a migrant who won't stick around too much longer, the park's population of winter birds is starting to arrive. A small flock of Cedar Waxwings showed up in the park this morning, perching atop a maple tree. They took turns swooping down to grab berries from a tree that was also full of Robins and Starlings.
Also taking advantage of the park's food supply was this American Goldfinch:
Several House Finches were also feeding in the same tree:
And, we'll be seeing the Dark-eyed Juncos for the next several months:
(c) Greg Saulmon
A final highlight: I saw both of the adult Red-tailed Hawks from the Race Street nest. They were hunting over High Street and roosting on City Hall. I'd seen the male a few times over the past few weeks, but it's been a few months since I've seen the female. The fact that they're both still in the area makes me think they'll return to nest on the fire escape again this year — but, we'll find out for sure later this winter.
Sunday sightings: Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Cooper's Hawk
I took a walk over to Heritage State Park to enjoy today's warm weather and found the place teeming with birds.
One of the first I ran across, right outside the Holyoke Children's Museum, was this Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I'd never seen one before, and I scratched my head for quite a while trying to identify it.
Kinglets are tiny, but they don't seem to be shy. This one kept flitting closer to me than my lens could focus — not a problem I'm used to running into when birding.
I've got the week off, so I'll try to keep an eye on how long this one hangs around. He seemed to be finding plenty to eat among a small stand of pine trees. Here are a few more images:
One quick distraction was the silhouette of an accipiter out over Dwight Street. The bird was headed over to Open Square — where it menaced the local pigeon population — but eventually made a pass over the canal and the park. It turned out to be a Cooper's Hawk:
Dark-eyed Juncos have taken up residence in the park. Before today, I'd never really noticed how much their coloration can vary.
There were also quite a few Robins, Blue Jays, and House Sparrows:
With first snow in Western Massachusetts, crow roost takes shape in Springfield
I stopped for gas on Main Street in Springfield's North End this afternoon and noticed a lot of crows moving through the neighborhood. So, I followed them.
At first I thought they might be headed up to the area near Tapley and Albany streets, which were popular roosting and staging areas last year. Instead, though, I found a large group congregating in a vacant lot behind the Spanish Christian Church near the corner of Chestnut Street and Jefferson Avenue.
The lot is a tangle of blown-down trees, and crows were arriving in droves between 3:30 and 4 p.m.
I didn't observe them long enough to determine whether this location is a staging area or the roost itself. But I did stay just long enough for a man to come out of his house and ask what the deal was with all the birds.
"It looks like that movie," he said.
I explained that in the fall and winter hundreds or thousands of crows gather in certain spots to roost at night.
"So, are they going to keep coming here?" he asked.
I told him it was hard to say — but that I'd be interested in keeping an eye on them.

As May comes to an end, so does Mental Health Awareness Month.
It makes me sad to think that people might stop talking about this just because Mental Health Awareness Month is over, which is why I chose today to write this post. I would like to keep this conversation going even after today, after this month, after this year.
According to Nami.org, 90% of those who die from suicide suffer from mental illness – suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States – it is the number one leading cause of disability worldwide.
56% of American adults who suffer from mental health disorders do not seek help.
Stigma is a negative stereotype associated with mental illness.
People are afraid to admit that they suffer from bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, etc. because they fear for the judgement that follows.
However, with mindfulness we can beat the stigma.
According to dictionary.com, mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
Basically being aware of your own thoughts as well as the feelings of other people.
If you suffer from mental illness, I implore you to be mindful enough to look to friends, family or physicians for help.
Don't be afraid to seek advice. Your true friends, family and especially qualified Doctors will never judge you.
If you know someone who is suffering, I implore you to be mindful enough to ask them how they are doing.
Pay attention to their symptoms. Sometimes you don't need words because being there and showing that you care is enough. Sometimes it may be more extreme, and you might need to take action to get them help.
If you know someone who is struggling to help another who is suffering, I implore you to be mindful enough to lend a hand.
Listen to what they are going through and know that more than just the mentally ill person is affected by mental illness.
Lastly, let this be life-long. Not just one year, one month or one day.
We have to be more mindful of ourselves and others. We must be.
I ask you: how can you be more mindful with Mental Health Awareness?
We've all been there – curled up in our warmest comforter, dreaming of a world without responsibility, when all of a sudden your child creeps in – looming over you at the edge of your bed like a scene straight out of Paranormal Activity. You pull the covers aside and allow them to sleep in your bed because you're too tired to go tuck them back into their own. You then proceed to get kicked, elbowed and rolled over on. All. Night. Long. A true horror movie.
First things first – according to parenting.com, you need to decide on the appropriate time to start the process of helping your child sleep solo. The best time to begin is when your schedule is fairly regular. For example – no vacation coming up, no new baby popping out – nothing. Just a solid routine that you do every day.
Throughout the morning and afternoon, make sure to explain to your child the expectations that you have for them during night time. Go out of your way to show your child where mommies and daddies sleep compared to where big kids sleep and make sure to explain the difference. This will help prepare them, and you, for this daunting task.
Your job is a bit easier. If your kid wakes you up wanting to snuggle in your bed, walk them back to theirs. The frustrating and tiring part is that you have to stick with it. Is your child coming to you three times a night? Walk them back and tuck them in. What about twenty times a night? Walk them back and tuck them in. Do it as long as it takes until they give up.
If your child is scared to sleep in their room because of nightmares or monsters, check the room with them and show them that there is nothing to worry about. You can even give them a spray bottle with water mixed with a little essential oil and name it "Monster Away Spray" to be able to get rid of any lingering under-the-bed monsters.
Your job will be harder. Parenting.com suggests sleeping in the child's room with them, but not in the bed. Yup, that's right – you're going to be spending some time on the nice cold floor, so get comfy down there!
Start off sleeping next to their bed all night long. That way, when your kid wakes up in the middle of the night they can look over and not be horrified that you've disappeared into thin air.
After a few nights – move a little farther away from your child. You want to keep moving farther and farther away every few nights until you end up by the door and then back into your own bedroom. If your kid wakes up and comes to your room – calmly walk them back to theirs. Continue this as long as it takes until they give up.
Praise good behavior and let them know how proud of them you are even if they got up a few times during the night. Reinforce their effort and go over the rules again by showing them where they sleep and where you sleep. After all, kids love to please their parents.
They also love rewards! Rewards are a great way to let kids know that they are doing a great job. After a good night – give them a prize! Allow them to pick a piece of candy out of a "Sleep Treat" bag, watch their favorite movie, or even take a trip with your kiddo to the nearby park or beach on a nice day.
It is a long and tiring process, but it will eventually work. Because, hey, what teenager do you know that still wants to sleep in their parent's bed?
Let us know in the comments what helped you to get your child sleeping in their own bed!
It's a well-known fact that breastfeeding is great for your newborn baby. Although that is highly talked about, something that is a little less discussed is women who struggle to produce milk.
According to fitpregnncy.com – the number one reason mothers stop breastfeeding is because they believe that they simply can't produce enough milk for their babies' health.
While some women are empowered by watching their bodies nourish their babies, others lose confidence. If you perceive that you are not producing enough milk and therefore not allowing your baby to grow as fast as he or she can – the mother can lose confidence in herself very quickly.
How can I re-gain my confidence in breastfeeding?
Weigh your baby before and after feeding to see if your baby is receiving the proper amount of nourishment or not.
Keep track of the amount of diapers your baby wets throughout the day. According to babycenter.com it should be about six diapers.
If you notice your baby is not satisfied and your breasts are not softer after feeding you can try the following to produce more milk.
Nurse and nurse frequently. Kellymom.com states that if the removal of breast milk does not take place every few hours, mom's supply will begin to decrease.
Avoid pacifiers so that all of the latching and sucking is done during feeding.
Between feedings, pumping helps support the natural flow of milk all throughout the day so that there is a steady flow.
There is no age restriction. When it is too emotionally or physically painful for you to continue breastfeeding is when you should stop. Do not feel guilty moms. You are incredible, your body is incredible and your baby will be absolutely fine. Formula exists for this reason!


The Federal Reserve will be announcing hotly anticipated changes to its regulatory template for foreign banks within the next two weeks, and possibly even this week, according to multiple sources.
The Fed has not signaled what approach it will take. It is said, however, to be happy with the tiering system it proposed for domestic banks on October 31, and may apply it to foreign banks, but nothing is certain just yet.

Радиотехнический факультет КПИ им. Игоря Сикорского (РТФ КПИ им. Игоря Сикорского) — факультет в составе Национального технического университета Украины «Киевского политехнического института имени Игоря Сикорского». Осуществляет подготовку бакалавров, магистров и докторов философии по специальностям и направлениям, связанным с радиотехникой и электроникой.

История
История радиотехнического факультета Киевского политехнического института (КПИ) берет своё начало в 1920-х годах; основоположником его создания считается известный украинский специалист в области радиотехники Владимир Владимирович Огиевский.

В 1921 году В. В. Огиевский переезжает в Киев, где начинает преподавать радиотехнику в Киевском военном училище связи и на электротехническом факультете КПИ, на котором в том же году организовывает радиолабораторию. Создание радиолаборатории стало базой для развития радиотехнической специальности, а в дальнейшем — радиотехнического факультета.

В 1924 году под руководством В.Огиевского была построена первая на Украине, и третья в СССР станция радиовещания.

В том же 1924 году для удовлетворения всевозрастающего интереса студентов и сотрудников КПИ к радиоделу в стенах радиолаборатории под руководством В. Огиевского был организован радиокружок.

В 1925 году, вышла в эфир первая в СССР любительская коллективная радиостанция — R1KPI (Россия — Первая — Киевский — Политехнический — Институт), вся приемо-передающая аппаратура которой была изготовлена членами радиокружка В.Огиевского. Учитывая огромное количество желающих заниматься радиоделом и авторитет В.Огиевского — любителям выделили прекрасные просторные помещения в старинном корпусе Химико-технологического факультета КПИ. С 1926 года коллективная радиостанция КПИ выходила в эфир позывным EU-058-RU.

В 1928 году было выпущено два первых инженера-электрика по радио-специальности.

В 1929 г. в КПИ выделены специализации по «транспортной связи» и «радиотехники и радистов».

В 1930 г. электротехнический факультет выделен и реорганизован в Киевский энергетический институт (КЭИ), в котором был создан радиотехнический факультет и кафедра радиотехники (заведующий кафедрой и декан радиотехнического факультета — В. В. Огиевский). 1930 год считается годом рождения радиотехнического факультета КПИ.

С 1931 г. на радиотехническом факультете начался регулярный выпуск радиоинженеров.

В 1934 г. КЭИ реорганизован в Киевский индустриальный институт (КИИ), куда радиотехнический факультет вошёл только как специальность с лабораториями: общей радиотехники и электровакуумных приборов, приемо-передающих устройств и акустики, радиопередающих устройств, телевидения и источников питания.

В 1938 г. радио-специальность в КИИ преобразовано в специальный факультет и из кафедры радиотехники выделена кафедра приемо-передающих устройств (заведующий кафедрой профессор С. И. Тетельбаум). Деканами спецфакультета были Н. А. Правдолюбов, Ф. Ф. Шапошников, Л. А. Радченко. В составе факультета было две кафедры: радиотехники (заведующий В. В. Огиевский) и приемо-передающих устройств.

В 1941 году, в связи с началом войны КИИ эвакуирован в Ташкент и включен в состав Среднеазиатского индустриального института. Деканом радиотехнического факультета и заведующий кафедрой радиотехники был С. И. Тетельбаум, а с 1943 года кафедру радиоприемных устройств возглавил Н. Ф. Воллернер. В этот период факультет выполнял важные оборонные научно-исследовательские работы.

В 1944 г. восстановлено название КПИ и коллектив института вернулся в Киев. В послевоенные годы радиотехнический факультет (декан В. В. Огиевский) продолжает своё развитие. Кафедру приемо-передающих устройств разделено на две: радиопередающих устройств (заведующий С. И. Тетельбаум) и радиоприемных устройств (заведующий Н. Ф. Воллернер). Подготовку инженеров по специальности «Радиотехника» обеспечивали три специальные кафедры радиотехнического факультета, а с 1956 г. также по специальности «Конструирование и производство радиоаппаратуры».

В 1952 г. в состав радиотехнического факультета вошли специальности «Диэлектрики и полупроводники» (заведующий кафедрой Н. Н. Некрасов) и «Электронные приборы» (заведующий кафедрой А. И. Вишневский) расформированного инженерно-физического факультета, но в 1962 г. на базе этих кафедр создается факультет радиоэлектроники. В составе факультета остаются четыре специальные кафедры — теоретических основ радиотехники (заведующий кафедрой В. В. Огиевский), радиопередающих устройств (заведующий кафедрой В. П. Тараненко), радиоприемных устройств (заведующий кафедрой Н. Ф. Воллернер) и кафедра математической физики (заведующий кафедрой Н. С. Смогоржевский). В 1968 г. для улучшения подготовки специалистов создана кафедра конструирования и производства радиоаппаратуры (заведующий кафедрой Ю. В. Михацкий).

На сегодняшний день на радиотехническом факультете работают четыре кафедры: теоретических основ радиотехники (заведующий кафедрой Ф. Ф. Дубровка); радиотехнических устройств и систем (заведующий кафедрой С. Я. Жук); кафедра радиоконструирования и производства радиоаппаратуры (заведующий кафедрой Э. А. Нелин) и кафедра радиоприема и обработки сигналов (заведующий кафедрой А. В. Мовчанюк).

Наука на факультете
Масштабная научно-исследовательская работа на факультете началась после его возвращения из эвакуации в Киев в 1944 году. Наиболее весомыми были работы члена-корреспондента Академии наук УССР С. И. Тетельбаума, который в 1949 году основал научное направление мощной электроники СВЧ и уже в 1956 году впервые в СССР созданы конструкции новых мощных электронных приборов СВЧ.

Следует отметить оригинальные работы в области радиосвязи по созданию системы радиопередачи с амплитудно-фазовой модуляцией, развитой в дальнейшем в работе Кана, а также основополагающие работы С. И. Тетельбаума в области рентгеновской томографии.

С 1959 года на РТФ начались работы по созданию мощных усилительных ламп бегущей волны и фундаментальным теоретическим исследованиям в этом направлении.

На РТФ, начиная с 1950-х годов, проводились работы в области теории цепей. В 1957 году Я. К. Трохименко опубликована первая советская работа по современной методике анализа транзисторных цепей, получившая развитие во многих работах, некоторые из них:.

В те же годы проводились исследования по промышленному применению токов ВЧ, антенной технике, фазометрии, ферритовым термисторам.

В 1960-е годы на факультете организована научная группа, которая разрабатывала электронные СВЧ устройства управления поляризацией и фазой выходного сигнала. Проводились разработки волноводных конструкций управления фазой, электродинамических систем мощных электронных СВЧ устройств и ускорителей заряженных частиц.

С 1970-х на РТФ получила развитие твердотельная электроника, разработаны методы расчета генераторов и усилителей миллиметрового диапазона для волн на лавинно-пролетных диодах и диодах Ганна.

В 1989 году руководитель новой отраслевой научно-исследовательской лаборатории сверхвысокочастотной твердотельной электроники и радиоизмерительной техники проф. М. Е. Ильченко вместе с группой специалистов из отраслевых институтов удостоены Государственной премии СССР в области науки и техники за создание основ теории и внедрение радиоэлектронной аппаратуры на новой элементной базе, в частности, диэлектрических резонаторах.

В 1990-е годы на РТФ начались работы по медицинской радиоэлектронике и была создана соответствующая медицинская специализация, обучение и научные работы по которой в настоящее время продолжаются на кафедрах ТОР, КиПРА, РОС.

Тогда же и по настоящее время проводятся работы по созданию новой антенной техники. Разработан и внедрен в серийное производство ряд крупных модифицированных антенн Кассегрена для земных станций спутниковых информационных систем нового поколения, которые стали предметом экспорта Украины высокотехнологичной продукции в Россию, Италию, Казахстан.

Evelyn Underhill was a British novelist, poet, and writer of books on Christian Spirituality and Mysticism. Her most popular work was Mysticism, still considered a classic today. She would spend her mornings writing and her afternoons visiting the poor. Many consider her a modern-day mystic.
This is a website for the Evelyn Underhill Association which continues to promote the study and research of her ideas and her works. They publish a newsletter and plan and promote special events.
Amazon Synopsis: The title of the book, Abba, is the term used in more than one place in the New Testament for addressing God as Father and it is with the 'Our Father' prayer that these meditations are concerned. At first sight it might be thought impossible to say anything fresh on something so familiar to all Christians as the Lord's Prayer. Yet the inexhaustible depths of meaning to be found in it may, by the very fact of familiarity, all too easily escape notice and understanding.
Amazon Synopsis: An inspirational little book that offers invaluable advice on how to broaden our spiritual horizons and strengthen our inner resources.
Amazon Synopsis: An enduring collection of articles that shows how we can unite practical concerns with a spiritual dimension.
Amazon Synopsis: Brief extracts from the Underhill book, Fruits of the Spirit, first published in 1942, the year after Underhill's death. Each of these brief pieces is actually a meditation on some aspect of the spiritual life, and makes excellent devotional reading.
Amazon Synopsis: Mystical narrative of a soul's adventure.
Amazon Synopsis: A selection from Underhill's enduring devotional writings, chosen for their pertinence to Lenten themes.
Amazon Synopsis: This collection of writings on aspects of prayer and the vocation and spiritual outlook of teachers was produced by Underhill during the years 1922 to 1937. One of our age's great spiritual guides, she writes for those "dwellers in time who are yet capable of eternity." The Introduction gives an excellent overview of her work, readers new to this wise and eloquent teacher will find in this volume onlyu the beginning of the rich treasure awaiting them in her other books.
Amazon Synopsis: Evelyn Underhill, a twentieth-century British spiritual writer and retreat leader, is widely known for her compelling exploration of the spiritual life. Underhill offers profoundly simple advice on opening oneself to God. Included here is a cross-section of her letters and her published retreat and radio talks.
Amazon Synopsis: Underhill was a noted poet and these mystical poems reflect her inner illumination and joy of living.
Amazon Synopsis: While searching through the archives of poet and author Evelyn Underhill, Grace Brame discovered four important handwritten retreats given by Underhill that were thought to be lost. In these writings, Underhill takes up some of the timeless themes of spiritual life: the call of God, sanctity, inner grace, and our purpose in life.
Amazon Synopsis: A reprint of Evelyn Underhill's timeless study on the the nature and principles of worship and the main forms in which they find expression in Christianity. In the belief that religious experience is the starting point of theological reconstruction, the author analyses here the characteristics, principles and nature of how man relates to God. The way and degree in which ritual, symbol, sacrament and sacrifice become part of worship is also examined and, subsequently, its principles are illustrated, as embodied in the main types of cults.

Russo Brothers are in constant contact with MCU bigwigs: 'There's always conversations going on'

After Avengers: Endgame (the highest-grossing movie in history), Joe and Anthony Russo can do whatever they want inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe without question. Of course, there was always a chance that the siblings would want to move on from comic book filmmaking after such a massive undertaking, which included a back-to-back shoot with Avengers: Infinity War.
Fortunately for us, the brothers have not yet moved on from Marvel Studios. Speaking with ComicBook.com, Joe Russo revealed that he and Anthony are speaking with Kevin Feige (head of Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer of Marvel Entertainment), Lou D'Esposito (co-president of Marvel Studios), and Victoria Alonso (Marvel Studios Executive VP of Production) "all the time."
"They're all friends of ours," he said. "Texting, seeing how everyone's doing. We get together with Lou for regular dinners once a month and there's always conversations going on. I think, you know, when we all land on with the right project is for us all to team back up on what, we'll jump in feet first for sure."
Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images
The Russos' next directorial effort is Cherry, which stars Tom Holland (the MCU's Spider-Man) as a former soldier with PTSD who turns to a life of robbing banks in order to fuel his drug addiction. It's expected to debut sometime this year. They also produced Extraction with Chris Hemsworth (the MCU's Thor). Directed by Sam Hargrave, the film arrives on Netflix this Friday (April 24).
But their collaborations with Marvel alums don't end there. Joe added that they're "talking about a few things" with Robert Downey Jr. (the MCU's Tony Stark) and floating "another project" by Chris Evans (the MCU's Captain America). Then there's "two more projects" for Hemsworth and "something else we're talking to Holland about."

It should be noted that we don't know if any of these other movies will be Marvel films. In all likelihood, most or all are unrelated movies that simply grew out of the siblings' professional relationships forged by their spent playing in the MCU. Their post-Endgame clout is through the roof, so it's no surprise that all these A-list actors want to work with them again.
"We love our family, our Marvel family," Joe continued. "We all spend a lot of time together, had a lot of laughs together. We enjoy working together and that's a priority for my brother and I. We have to love the creative aspects of a project as much as we love the people we're going to go work with on it so that everyone has great quality of life."
Russo Brothers


When I was young, I always knew that I was a unique individual. I didn't exactly know what separated me from the rest of society, but I knew something was special about me.
While I was walking down the suburban footpath with my best friends. I started to experience a hatred for them. I can't say where it originated from, because I honestly have no idea. It started with me expressing my new hatred through glares and stares, but the hate started to continuously build throughout my body. I discontinued any communication my friends and I had and I also proceeded to not attend any classes at my school. Heck, I didn't even see the school gates for half a year.
I started thinking malicious thoughts. I thought about beating all of my old colleagues to their deaths, one by one, with my fists. I tried everything I could, but these thoughts never escaped my mind. Although, I'll admit, I loved the thought of me breaking their jaws and tearing out their teeth from their squishy gums.
After two gruelling years, I was ready to take action towards one of my old friends. After my sixteenth birthday, I was ready to display my "affectionate thoughts" towards one of my former colleagues. I arranged for him and I to meet at the local park. When my eyes spotted him in the distance, I decided to pursue my dream and I made my way towards him.
Without hesitation, I struck his temple with a strong right hook. He was knocked unconscious in one steady strike and from there, things got a bit messy. I grabbed him by the neck; the fingers of my hand digging deep into his throat. Then, I proceeded to strike his jaw. I continued to pummel his face until my knuckles turned black and his facial features were unrecognisable. I remember grabbing his brittle jaw and slowly ripping it away from his beautiful face. It was a lot like taking off a shoe; a bit of resistance at first, but when I got past that I was able to tear out the jaw; muscle, skin and bone.
It was after that I realised I had a small army of policeman aiming their firearms at me. I didn't bother running away, I did what I needed to do. When the policemen held me down ground and started placing handcuffs around my wrists, I started gazing towards his majestic face. The aroma that escaped from the muscle and flesh was overwhelming; I just wanted more and more of it.
I am now in the Mental Examination Room inside of a Mental Institution. I am required to document my feelings during that assault. So there it is.

Police appeal launched after thieves steal gates from church war memorial
The 4ft wooden gates were taken from the Holy Trinity Church, in Mapperley, Derbyshire, sometime between 6pm on Sunday and 8.30am on Monday

A police investigation has been launched after thieves stole two large gates from a war memorial at a church.
The 4ft wooden gates were taken from the Holy Trinity Church, in Mapperley, Derbyshire, sometime between 6pm on Sunday and 8.30am on Monday.
Reverend Gill Turner-Callis described the theft as "incredibly sad" and appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.

She said: "When we opened for morning prayers this morning the gates were missing.
"They are the gates which lead to the churchyard and form part of the war memorial for all those who died in the Great Wars.

"I don't understand why someone would take them as I can't imagine they are particularly valuable as they are made from oak.
"They are large gates, probably around 4ft, and it would take two large men to lift them. Unfortunately, they could just be lifted off the hinges."
She added: "It's incredibly sad to think someone would do this. But it's Christmas so the Christian part of me thinks I hope it helps them. But the non-Christian side of me is very upset and mad.

USMNT interim coach Dave Sarachan unlikely to bring in old guard right now

CHESTER, Pa. — For the past decade, players like Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard, Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore have been rocks of the US men's national team.
But after last year's World Cup qualifying disaster, is it time to move on from the old guard?
Speaking with reporters Wednesday at a media roundtable at Talen Energy Stadium ahead of next month's match vs. Bolivia, USMNT interim boss Dave Sarachan offered a delicate take on a tricky situation.
"It's a no-brainer at this point to allow these matches to be served by a lot of young guys," said Sarachan, who will need to pick rosters for the friendly vs. Bolivia in Chester on May 28, followed by European road tilts vs. Ireland on June 2 and France on June 9. "They need these games. Jozy, Michael, Tim, Clint, you can go through a list of veteran guys, I know them well, we know them well, so it's not like we need to see them moving forward.
"The next real competition is down the line. But I do think those guys will factor in, in terms of the [2019] Gold Cup, in terms of the next round of [World Cup] qualifying. At some point, I think it will be important to bring some of those veteran guys back."
Given that the US won't be able to play in a World Cup for another four years, there are those that might argue to pull the plug entirely on the aging veterans and focus exclusively on developing young talent. But Sarachan said it's important to have experienced players around the program to help ease the transition as the USMNT attempts to navigate a difficult crossroads.
"The national team isn't just a given or a gift to anybody," he said. "Just because you're young, doesn't mean we just throw you in and play. There's a process I think that is critical in terms of understanding what it really means to be a part of the national team."
For example, Philadelphia Union captain Alejandro Bedoya, who was busy practicing right next door while Sarachan spoke, is a veteran that the USMNT coach decided to bring along to Portugal last November in the first game after the team's World Cup flameout in Trinidad and Tobago. The 30-year-old midfielder, Sarachan noted, is a "good leader" and part of a "pool of guys who down the road can still offer something."
And Sarachan has tried to stay in constant touch with the longtime USMNT vets, whether by text, email or in-person talks.
"The feedback has been good," Sarachan said. "They understand. They also have a love of the program and they really want to be a part of things, especially since it didn't go so well, leaving that taste in their mouth. The general sense I've gotten, talking to those guys, is: We trust what you're doing, we get it, but we really want to be a part of things if the opportunity comes. That's a good thing."
Sarachan insisted there's been no discussion as to whether to bring in Dempsey, the 35-year-old Seattle Sounders striker, for an opportunity to break Landon Donovan's all-time USMNT goal-scoring record. They both have scored 57 international goals,
"I haven't even thought about that," Sarachan admitted. "Honestly, that's not my job. What I would say is guys like Landon and Clint, the older guys, they're valuable in the succession of everything — to mentor, to show these young guys what it really takes to be a part of just a national team. That's just a valuable piece.
"But as far as that [record] goes, sometimes a tie is all right, right? Share the spoils?"
