CarGurus has 21,695 nationwide Suburban listings starting at $1,995.
Still big and bold, and still intended for a select audience, Chevrolet's 2016 Suburban full-size SUV balances practicality with value and throws in a bunch of standard perks besides. Although the Suburban nameplate has been around since the 1930s, this upcoming year's offering returns as the well-known 5-door, 7- to 9-passenger behemoth that sports all of today's expected creature comforts, totes up to 121.1 cubic feet of cargo, and packs a competent V8 powerplant.
Trims remain the base LS, the up-featured LT, and the top-shelf LTZ, each bearing the half-ton 1500 designation. All variations return delivered in the standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration, while each again remains eligible for available 4-wheel drive (4WD), lately offered in either a single-speed-transfer-case version or packing an available 2-speed transfer case featuring high-low gearing. Furthermore, all trims, RWD or 4WD, again sport a standard locking rear differential.
A hefty redesign of the Suburban for the 2015 model year leaves this chunky Chevy sporting few noteworthy changes for 2016. A couple of new exterior colors, Siren Red Tintcoat and Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, debut, as does a new liftgate shield, a few tweaks to standard and available techno-goodies, a cap-less fuel filler, and some upgrades to the safety-oriented Driver Alert package, including a heads-up display and lane-keeping assistance. Additionally, IntelliBeam automatic high/low-beam headlights are now standard across the Suburban trim spectrum.
Again, the 2016 Suburban stable packs a 5.3-liter V8 powerplant mated with the ubiquitous 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission to the tune of 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Mileage will doubtless remain estimated at 16 mpg city/23 highway/18 combined in RWD versions and 16/22/18 in 4WD trims, while towing capacity returns at a maximum of 8,200 pounds in RWD iterations and 8,000 pounds in the 4WD editions with the proper equipment installed.
Returning appearance features for the upcoming year's Chevy sport ute include 18-inch alloy wheels on the LS and LT trims, with the LTZ boasting 22-inch alloy wheels. All iterations also remain toting a roof rack, a Class II trailer hitch and wiring, and heated power-adjustable mirrors (with integrated turn signals in the LT and LTZ). The LS also returns with standard rear parking sensors, while higher trims again feature parking sensors at both front and rear, while the rear-view camera is again standard for all 2016 trims.
Inside, look for the Suburban LS to sport premium cloth upholstery, with the LT and LTZ featuring leather seats and cabin accents. All trims again offer standard power-adjustable front seats, with said seats heated in higher trims. Full power accessories also remain standard in all trims, as do cruise control, telescoping tilt-wheel steering (power-adjustable in the LTZ), and tri-zone automatic climate control. Memory for driver's settings is once again slated to remain standard in the flagship LTZ, which also returns with heated power-folding second-row captain's chairs (which limits the Suburban to 7-passenger seating).
For 2016, all Suburban iterations will again boast Bluetooth-interfaced OnStar Directions & Connections telematics, while higher trims also throw in MyLink infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen display and smartphone apps. Be advised, alas, that the folks at Chevy are expected to delete the once-standard CD player and the SD card slot for the upcoming year's Suburban lineup, thus the LS and LT return hosting satellite radio, new-for-2016 HD Radio, and an auxiliary audio input. The LS, meantime, again features 6 speakers, while the LT carries 9. The LTZ, on the other hand, is expected to again boast a Bose premium stereo with 10 Surround Sound speakers.
Options-wise, look for 2015's debuting 4G LTE WiFi hotspot technology to again be available in higher 2016 Suburban trims, along with a power sunroof, GPS navigation, and a Theft Deterrent package. All trims, meanwhile, are slated to remain eligible for the Max Trailering package, which includes a load-leveling suspension for the LT and LTZ iterations only. Additionally, those higher trims again return in the running for available upgraded and upsized wheels, power-extending step running boards, and rear-seat DVD/Blu-ray entertainment. Only the LS, by the way, offers available bench seating in all 3 rows for up to 9 people, while the LT can be configured to carry second-row bench seats for 8 passengers in place of the standard bucket seats. Once again, the LTZ, with standard second-row captain's chairs, continues to offer seating for 7.
Standard safety features expected to return aboard all 2016 Suburban iterations include 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front side-mounted airbags, 3-row head airbags, and GM's unique center-mounted front airbag system that's designed to prevent front-seat occupants from slamming into each other in a side-impact collision. Additionally, daytime running lights will doubtless return in all trims, along with a post-collision safety system, OnStar emergency alerts and communications, and a remote antitheft alarm. Again, the LT and LTZ are scheduled to return sporting standard front fog/driving lights, while the LTZ is expected to tote the upgraded-for-2016 Driver Assist package as standard equipment, with this package offered as an option in the LT. And it should be noted that the government gives the current Suburban a top-shelf 5 stars overall in its various safety protocols.
Those who drive the reworked 2015 Suburban have grown to accept its less-than-stellar mileage numbers as the price to pay for this behemoth's roomy cabin, hefty towing and cargo capacities, commanding driving height, and wealth of features. On the downside, owners have lamented continued frustrations with the MyLink infotainment system, along with concerns that the power-folding third-row seats don't lie flat.
Look for the 2016 Suburban to adorn dealer showrooms in the late summer of 2015, when it will once again go head to head with Toyota's well-wrought Sequoia and Ford's techno-heavy Expedition, as well as its similarly equipped GMC Yukon cousin.

On the ongoing projects, including the new sanitation contract which is under the scanner, the new mayor said the issue would be discussed during the House meeting.
Having been elected as the Mohali mayor on August 28, after the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and BJP councillors boycotted the elections, Kulwant Singh took charge as the city's first mayor on Monday. The SAD and BJP also announced their leaders of opposition in the MC house and both parties assured that they would play the role of a constructive opposition. While SAD has named Sukhdev Singh Patwari as its leader of opposition, the BJP has handed the responsibility to Arun Sharma.
After assuming charge, Kulwant Singh promised to bring in transparency in the working of the Municipal Corporation (MC) and start the much-needed city bus service. He also said that the first meeting of the House would be called within a week.
On the ongoing projects, including the new sanitation contract which is under the scanner, the new mayor said the issue would be discussed during the House meeting and the project would be reviewed. He also said that the paid parking issue will also be discussed in the meeting.
"The Vigilance Bureau (VB) is already looking into the matter (sanitation contract) but we will also review it and conduct an internal inquiry. If anything wrong is found then it will be terminated by following the proper procedure," Kulwant Singh added. The Rs 13-crore mechanised sanitation project is under the lens as the VB has already asked the MC to submit documents of the project. VB officials said that they have received many complaints regarding the project.
On other prospective initiatives, the new mayor said the city bus service would soon be started to connect Mohali with its satellite towns.
"We will make all the efforts to start the city bus service. I have already spoken to the authorities concerned about it but if needed then we will also tie-up with a bank and take a loan to start it," Singh said.
The mayor also appealed to the shopkeepers not to encroach onto the area outside their shops. Listing other priorities, Kulwant Singh said he will also also make efforts to get Mohali included in the smart city project."Due to the petty politics, the city's name could not be selected for the smart city project. But we will try our best to get the city's name selected for the prestigious project next year," Singh assured.

So what to write now? Writing a book of non-fiction is as big of a distraction as any, one that anchors the writer into patterns and stories that have, in the case of my book, already been recapitulated. While writing this book I had to recount decades of experiences and information. There was no other choice than to reconnect to the energy of all those stories. In such an arduous undertaking, there was little time for being present for dancing along new lines of awareness.
Becoming Awareness is a journey through the tonal, or the first attention of awareness, and was written to expose the patterns I discovered that exist as the man-made matrix. Many of the patterns that I have encountered over the years define for us what it means to be human within a limited scope of being, one that pressures us to live our lives in alignment to the vision of others. Our innate motivation, however, is to be creative beings who strive to be much more than the conceptual configurations – the mold of man – that has been mandated for centuries by those who sit in positions of power.
Fortunately, that is beginning to change and the state of being human is evolving. Through recapitulation and release we are transcending the patterns and concepts and aligning with the power of the universe. As individuals and through collaborative efforts we are becoming free from the energy of restrictive and repetitive paradigms. It is time to dance with gratitude upon the earth, allowing the earth's power to shift us into second attention so we are able to explore abstract realms of pure energy.
Since the publication of my book I have found myself at a loss as to what to write about. I have recapitulated the writing/publishing process and have been sitting in silence and I still don't know what to say. What once was is in the past, was lies ahead isn't yet here. So I sit silently, in the now, waiting; knowing that I have no choice but to allow the energy of the words, that I will eventually express, to emerge gently and of their own accord.
The quote at the top of this page was emailed to me this morning by someone reading my book who said that the paragraph filled her with waves of energy. There is nothing to do except trust that the flow of the universe is, indeed, guiding us.
The temptation to repeat a once needed process that has been carried to a conclusion that we find gratifying and energizing is one of the foibles of success. I find that one way to gain access to the enthusiasm and wonder that characterize the creative life, is to move in an entirely new direction. Set down the accomplishment, abandon a fulfilled process, and set out to embrace the development of other so far latent talents. The universe seems to bring affirmation and synchronicity into my life when I undertake an endeavor that is new to me.
Yes indeed! Dancing along new lines of awareness and looking forward to whatever emerges.
Love that passage, so powerful. I am thinking about how the energies shift and how exciting it can be to be creating so beautifully and then…nothing. Even during the course of a day I can see this happen. There can be dozens of things to do, the energy all moving and going, and then suddenly it turns silent. And it can be disconcerting to just sit and wait until the flow starts again. Trusting, as you say, that the Universe is guiding us. So very happy to be reading your book!
Yes, we benefit by sitting in a state of complete surrender allowing the universe to move us with fluidity as part of the eternal flow. Thank you!

'Paul' Movie Review
https://americanprofile.com/articles/paul-movie-review/
By Neil Pond on March 26, 2011
https://americanprofile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/paul-movie-review-150x150.jpg
Starring Nick Frost, Simon Pegg & Kristen Wiig
Directed by Greg Mottola
Rated R, 104 minutes
It's shaping up to be a space-invader summer.
Battle: Los Angeles, in theaters now, depicts a group of U.S. Marines defending the West Coast against an intergalactic invasion. Soon to come are Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig as Old West gunslingers fighting out-of-this-world outlaws in Cowboys & Aliens, and Super 8, the hush-hush collaboration between Steven Spielberg and TV producer J.J. Abrams (Lost) about something not of this Earth on a terrifying rampage in the Midwest.
In the middle of all this death-from-above anxiety comes Paul, a refreshingly rollicking, sweetly raunchy comedy about a little green man trying to get home.
Nick Frost and Simon Pegg play Clive and Graeme, a pair of British UFO fanatics on a driving tour of American space-alien hot spots like Area 51 and Roswell, N.M. Though they've spent their entire lives thinking about close encounters, they're totally unprepared for their face-to-face with Paul one evening on a deserted stretch of desert highway.
The ensuing misadventure hinges on a frantic race in a rented RV to meet up with Paul's mother ship before government operatives can rein in their prize catch from the long covered-up 1947 UFO crash that left the little guy stranded. Along the way, the plot picks up a couple of angry yahoos, a young woman whose religious views are turned inside-out when she finds out about Paul, and a clever assortment of in-jokes about Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., The X-Files, sci-fi nerds and other classic bits of pop-cultural stardust.
The merry parade of supporting actors includes Sigourney Weaver (in an especially inspired bit of queen-bee casting that salutes her long-running sci-fi cred), Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, Blythe Danner, Jane Lynch from Glee, and Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. Seth Rogan provides the voice for the computer-animated Paul.
Among the movie's many delightful surprises are finding out, in a quick—and quick-witted—flashback, Paul's pivotal role in helping a certain superstar director come up with the idea for an iconic '80s blockbuster about a little extra-terrestrial that loved Reece's Pieces.
In another scene, a roadhouse band plays a familiar-sounding tune with a honky-tonk twist. A main-street theater marquee displays its feature as Duel, a wink to Spielberg's first full-length, made-for-TV movie from the 1970s.
Paul can be crude, rude and profane. (The movie's R rating is for language and a scene of drug use.) But he's one cool-dude, cosmic-traveling, slacker pothead, with a couple of alien tricks that come in quite handy in a jam, and a big heart when the situation calls for it.
Is there life out there? If there is, let's hope it's Paul, a little alien who makes us laugh while suggesting a streak of goodness that spans the universe—instead of angry monsters that want to destroy us!

Wage and hour laws are the rules that dictate how employers are to treat their employees. They generally cover such issues as when employees can be expected to work and how they are to be compensated for their time. Employers in Colorado should become familiar with these laws so they do not violate them and face liability.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the Colorado minimum wage is currently $8.31 for each hour worked. This is greater than the federal minimum wage of $7.25. Employers must remain in compliance with both state and federal law, so they are required to pay the higher wage to all applicable employees.
Minimum Wage of Tipped Workers: Employers of tipped workers are only required to pay a wage of $5.29 per hour. The other $3.02 is generally paid through the tips the workers receive, which is known as a tip credit to the employer. In the event a worker does not meet the minimum wage with the inclusion of the tip credit, their employer becomes responsible for making up the difference. This rate is much higher than the federal minimum wage for tipped workers, which is $2.13. As with other wage laws, the law that provides the greatest advantage to employees is to be followed.
Does Minimum Wage Apply to Me: Both state and federal law have exemptions to who is covered by these minimum wage laws. Administrative employees, executives, supervisors, outside salespeople and professionals are considered exempt under state and federal law. This can include salaried doctors, lawyers, and teachers. For a complete list of federal exemptions, refer to the U.S. Department of Labor website.
When are Raises Required: Neither state nor federal law have provisions regarding raises. They are usually dictated by agreement between employers and their employees.
Colorado does not dictate how many hours employees can be expected to work each day or in a single workweek. Federal law does not address this issue either.
Paying Overtime: The state does have provisions on overtime. Any employee who works more than 40 hours per workweek, 12 hours per workday, or a consecutive 12-hour shift shall receive a rate of one and one-half times their regular pay, calculated in the way that results in the greatest amount of compensation. This is in contrast to the federal law, which only states that employees who work more than 40 hours per workweek should receive overtime at the same rate. Commission sales workers, ski industry employees and medical transportation workers are all exempt from the state law. Federal exemptions include executives, administrators, and outside sales employees.
Guaranteed Breaks and Meals: Under state law, all employees are to be granted at least one paid 10-minute break period for every four hours they work. After five consecutive hours of work, employees are entitled to a 30-minute meal period, unpaid. There are no federal laws that cover these issues. However, all nursing employees must be allowed sufficient time to express milk or breastfeed within a year of the birth of a child. Otherwise, all these provisions are subject to agreement between an employer and its employees.
Paid Time-off and Sick Pay: Neither state nor federal law have any provisions in place regarding sick pay or other holiday pay. These issues are usually part of agreements reached between workers and their employers.
Notice Period for Employee Termination: No law currently exists in Colorado stipulating that employers must give any kind of notice to employees of pending termination. There are also no federal requirements governing this issue.
Plant Closings & Layoffs: Employees in Colorado are only covered under federal law in cases of plant closings or mass layoffs. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act states that businesses with 100 or more full-time employees must provide written notice to affected employees at least 60 days prior to any action. The notice must contain information about the plans, including whether it is temporary or permanent, as well as what date the layoffs will occur.

"... a company not only to watch but to savor."
- Jane Vranish, Cross Currents/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Arts, Equity, & Education Fund
"Texture Contemporary Ballet, known across the region – and beyond – for taking classical ballet and tilting it on its axis in innovative ways."
Sara Bauknecht
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"… passion honed to an effortless confidence, the enthusiasm transported to smart artistic choices."
- Jane Vranish
- Cross Currents and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Texture Contemporary Ballet is for everyone: those who love classic ballet, performing arts enthusiasts, and even those who think they might not like a dance performance."
Angie Jones
Texture as a group plays to and against traditional ballet stereotypes with each member able to bring their individual style and ability to the pieces. The result is a fascinating interplay of separate dancers uniting in an ebb and flow that expresses, in a powerful way, the feelings evoked by music and movement.

Paul says his backers will 'become the GOP tent'
Appearing not far from where Romney will collect the Republican nomination, Paul used the rally to lecture a party he thinks is too willing to intervene abroad, too timid when it comes to combating a monetary policy he sees as misguided, and too lax about preserving civil liberties. His remarks were the perfect pitch to a friendly crowd of thousands, who stood the whole time he spoke.
"It made the paper in Washington that the revolution wasn't happening," the Texas Republican said. "Don't they only wish."
Paul ended active campaigning in June, but so far the libertarian-leaning politician hasn't endorsed Romney's candidacy. He told The New York Times for a story Sunday that he was denied a chance to speak because he refused to let the Romney campaign vet his remarks and give an unconditional endorsement.
In contrast to the stately scenery inside the Republican convention arena, the Paul rally had all the trappings of a rock concert: fog lamps, sweeping beams of colorful lights, music thumping with bass, free-flowing tap beer. Blues Traveler frontman John Popper performed ahead of Paul's remarks.
The University of South Florida college basketball arena was hardly full, but boisterous Paul fans erupted most times he was mentioned and wore shirts with his name and image; one shirt read "My President is Paul" and another said "Let Ron Paul Speak."
Paul joked that he was given a speaking slot on Monday night -- when Tropical Storm Isaac was causing the GOP to postpone activities. "Just kidding," he assured.
He didn't win a single state but still amassed more than 175 delegates to the convention, several of whom got a standing ovation when they were introduced as a group at the Paul rally. On stage and among the audience, Paul backers chafed at the idea that their presence in Florida was an unwanted distraction at a convention focused on saluting Romney.
Paul's coalition is made up of anti-war Republicans, people who want stricter government adherence to the Constitution and those who want to dismantle the Federal Reserve, which sets American monetary policy.
His devoted following has caused strains in the convention lead-up. Late last week, Republican convention rule-makers advanced measures designed to blunt the Paul presence, including votes to dull the strength of his contingent in the Maine delegation and another to make it tougher for similar candidates to follow his path in the future.
Ashley Ryan, the young new Republican committeewoman from Maine, said procedural moves viewed as minimizing Paul's supporters would backfire on the GOP.
"Our party will go from being a big tent with many ideas to a small group at the mercy of a few insiders," Ryan said.
Paul carried on with the theme. ""Believe me, we will get in the tent because we will become the tent eventually," he said, adding, "With the energy that we have. It seems to me they would be begging and pleading for us to come into the party."
Tropical Storm Isaac disrupted the GOP schedule, yet planners retained a video tribute to Paul and a speaking role for his son, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, moving both to Wednesday night between 7 and 8 p.m.
Doug Wead, an author and former adviser to both Bush presidents, drew loud applause when he described the congressman as "a clean boat in a sea of garbage." Throughout the day, Paul was held up as a beacon of ideological purity.
Paul, 77, is leaving Congress after his 12th term expires at year's end. But some hope he'll make a fourth run at the White House. He has run the past two election cycles as a Republican and ran once before as a candidate for the Libertarian Party.
Said Austrian School economist Walter Block: "It's true Ron will be 80 in 2016, but he's a young 80."
At one point during the five-hour rally, the audience broke into chants of "Paul `16" -- but they were referring to Rand Paul, not his father.

UFO update: the rise, fall, and afterlife of Erich von Daniken's theory of extraterrestrial gods

MARSHALL COUNTY,...
A little more than 25 years ago, the manager of a first-class Swiss hotel wrote a worldwide best seller titled Chariots of the Gods?. Its author, Erich von Daniken, captured the public imagination with a dramatic presentation of the idea that extraterrestrials had left physical traces of their presence throughout the world. Chariots held, for instance, that the giant stone faces on Easter Island off the coast of Chile were probably constructed with the help of extraterrestrials; the long Nazca lines, crisscrossing the plains of Peru and only visible from the air, von Daniken said, were probably landing strips for their craft.
By the late 1970s, however, von Daniken's "ancient astronaut" theory was crumbling under an avalanche of criticism from archaeologists and astronomers. Today, few believe these extraterrestrial gods ever existed. But don't tell that to the 350 people who met in Las Vegas last August to attend the twentieth-anniversary conference of the Ancient Astronaut Society, or to any of the Society's 10,000 members in 93 countries worldwide. Twenty speakers, including numerous Ph.D.'s, engineers, and writers gave presentations that touched on everything from the "spaceships" of the Biblical prophet Ezekiel to the notorious "face on Mars."
Von Daniken's largest base of support, however, is not in the United States, but rather in Germany and other nations of Europe. In 1993, for instance, Europeans saw von Daniken star in a 25-part biweekly TV series titled On the Trace of the Almighty. And touring the cities of Europe, von Daniken still manages to fill 2,000-seat auditoriums. His last nine books, all best sellers in Germany, have also appeared in Italy, France, Holland, Spain, Greece--everywhere, it seems, but in the United States. England, and Australia. "I must be blacklisted in America," says the 58-year-old author with a chuckle.
Despite such slights, von Daniken's belief in the ancient-astronaut theory remains firm. "Each and every one of my books has had to be better than the one before," he says. "We have had to come up with stronger proof each time out."
Of note are the new translations of some ancient Asian Indian texts von Daniken has commissioned. "They describe gigantic space cities that surrounded our planet thousands of years in the past," he says with great enthusiasm. "And from these cities, extraterrestrials used small vehicles to descend to Earth."
Carl Sagan, a major critic of von Daniken in the 1970s, says he has not changed his mind. One of Sagan's original objections was the underlying assumption that our ancestors were apparently too stupid to create the monumental architecture of our past.
"But it's never been my idea," von Daniken objects, "that ancient astronauts had constructed great buildings and temples. Mankind did. But why? Mythology and religion say they were dealing with the teachers that had descended from heaven."
Von Daniken's protestations are unlikely to sway his critics. "The whole ancient-astronauts hypothesis was based more on pseudohistory and pseudoarchaeology than any reasonable hypothesis about extraterrestrial intelligence," says Kendrick Frazier, editor of the Skeptical Inquirer. "I just don't know anybody who takes this seriously anymore."

Q: Make table cells zoomable when zooming in browser I'm trying to format a table inside a fieldset, both are inside a form. here's the HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<form>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Text Text</legend>

             Text

                <input size='25' type="text"/>
                <select>
                    <option>Text text text</option>
                    <option> Text </option>
                </select>

                Text text

             Text

                <input size='25' type="text"/>
                <select>
                    <option>Text text text</option>
                    <option> Text </option>
                </select>

                Text text

    </fieldset>
</form>

My question is how could I make a text input and a select stay on the same row when I zoom in browser (by pressing ctr and + keys).Thanks in advance!

A: Forget table, use DIV. That the only way to solve the problem.

A: I'll agree with Sandeep - I've always had trouble with tables and instead have gone to @HTMLhelpers with  tags and css for formatting.  I have no problems with zooming in, a nice feature for older folks, visually impaired, etc.
Here is a contact page snippet similar to what you want to do with a fieldset:
<fieldset>
    <legend>Contact</legend>

    *@Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName)

    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)

    *@Html.LabelFor(model => model.LastName)

    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.LastName)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.LastName)

    *@Html.LabelFor(model => model.EmailAddress)

    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.EmailAddress)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.EmailAddress)

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    <input type="reset" value="Reset" />

</fieldset>

Assam's Swachata Maulana gets national honour
February 10, 2018 Nurul Laskar 0 Comment
NURUL LASKAR
"You Are the Solution Summit" organised by the Global Interfaith Wash Alliance India held at Rishikesh in Uttarakhand in June 2017 saw the convergence of spiritual leaders from across the country. A hitherto unheard-of Madrassa teacher from Assam, Mufti Nashihur Rahman, represented the Muslims of the country at the Summit, sharing the dais with Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji Muniji and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati from the Hindu faith, Acharya Roopchandra Muniji from the Jain faith, and Jathedar Patna Saheb Giani Iqbal Singhji along with Kiranjot Kaur from the Sikh faith. It was his dedication to the cause of a Swachch Bharat as envisioned by Prime Minister Modi that had catapulted Rahman to the national scene of cleanliness and care for the environment. He was honoured with the special Ganga Award for spreading the message of Swachhta and Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) amongst his community and congregations. Rahman had received the award from the hands of the Governor of Uttarakhand, Dr Krishna Kant Paul.
Rahman was born in 1983 at No 1 Thekerabari village of Darrang District in Assam and had his elementary education at the village primary school. Then he studied in three different madrassas in the State until he went to Darul Ulum Deoband in Uttar Pradesh, one of the most renowned Islamic theological institutions in the world. In a stay spanning from 2002 to 2007, he completed his education there, then taught in a madrassa in Deoband for a year and came back to Assam to join as a teacher at Madinatul Ulum Madrassa in Dalgaon, Assam. To fulfil the aspirations of his native area, he returned to Mangaldai and took over the post of the principal of the girls' madrassa there in 2010.
The Madrassa in Mangaldai caters exclusively to girls and about 150 of them are now engaged at different stages of the seven-year course that will lead them to the level of "Title" which is equivalent to a Higher Secondary course of schools administered by the State Board. A girl is admitted to the Madrassa only after she has passed class VII or more from a public or private school.
The Madrassa at Mangaldai hosts a religious meet called the "Jalsa-e-Siratunnabi" every year in which the teachings of the Quran and that of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) are propagated before the public. But in recent years, Rahman has ensured that concern for cleanliness and the environment also find place in the agenda of the congregation. The next Jalsa is scheduled to be held on February 9, 2018 and the morning's session is planned to begin with a tree plantation programme in which Ashok Kumar Barman, Deputy Commissioner, Mangaldai is expected to be the chief guest. Thereafter the girls of the Madrassa will lead a cleanliness drive across the town that would culminate at the Civil Hospital Complex in the District Headquarter town.
Talking on the subject of health and hygiene, Rahman recalls his visit a few months ago to nearby No 4 Nangli Char, a habitat on one of the islands on the Brahmaputra, to enquire about the welfare of one of his students who was ill and had gone back to the village. Rahman had to stay overnight and in the morning, he asked the residents to show him a lavatory where he could respond to the call of nature. The villagers had none and informed him that they had always defecated in the open. Rahman asked them to bring a spade, a few bamboo poles, and some thatch. In a while he had constructed a toilet and that changed the history of sanitation in the village.
In recent months, the Mufti and his associates have used all kinds of forums including preaching in mosques for creating public awareness about health, hygiene, and sanitation. His team often fans out to the nearby villages to verify if the people there have made proper use of Government funds made available to them for construction of toilets and if they have constructed toilets, whether the upkeep is up to the mark or not. Rahman is very appreciative of the help and support he and his team have been receiving from the local MLA, Guru Jyoti Das, in all endeavours for making people more conscious about a clean and green environment towards fulfilling the dream of a Swachch Bharat.
Nowadays, Rahman is often invited by different institutions and NGOs to visit their areas and share the story of his sanitation mission. The UNICEF had invited him to take part in a discourse in Guwahati recently wherein spiritual leaders from across India along with Union and State ministers had taken part to deliberate on sanitation needs of the society. Rahman was also asked to deliberate at an open session at the Veterinary Grounds in Khanapara, Guwahati where Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal was present.
Rahman's latest dream projects include establishment of a "Swachch Bharat Garden", the first of its kind in India, within the Madrassa complex touching the National Highway No 15 that connects Arunachal Pradesh with Assam. He is confident that the Government and civil society will come forward to help and support this project as it would send a widespread message in favour of cleanliness, sanitation, hygiene and a healthy environment for our communities.
As things stand today, Rahman and his girls' madrassa are sure to become the epicentre for a positive revolution that can transform the mindset of the people in general and the rural Muslim community in particular towards their health, hygiene, and sanitation needs. The 'Swachchata Maulana' has emerged as a true brand ambassador of the Swachcha Bharat Mission in the interior areas of Assam.

Q: Marketo REST API - Smart Campaign I can create a new Marketo lead using an html form and the attached script (PHP + Rest API). It mostly works, the leads show up in Marketo.
The problem is, my Marketo setup requires new leads to be added to a particular "Smart Campaign".
On Marketo's Rest API documentation, I found an endpoint for adding leads to a List, but not for adding to a Campaign. Have you run into this problem?
class UpsertLeads{
    //these are the CIN Marketo credentials
    public $host = "####";//CHANGE ME
    public $clientId = "####";//CHANGE ME
    public $clientSecret = "####";//CHANGE ME
    public $input; //an array of lead records as objects
    public $lookupField; //field used for deduplication
    public $action; //operation type, createOnly, updateOnly, createOrUpdate, createDuplicate

    public function postData(){
        $url = $this->host . "/rest/v1/leads.json?access_token=" . $this->getToken();
        $ch = curl_init($url);
        $requestBody = $this->bodyBuilder();
        //commenting out
        //dont need to output this stuff in production
        //print_r($requestBody);
        curl_setopt($ch,  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('accept: application/json','Content-Type: application/json'));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $requestBody);
        curl_getinfo($ch);
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        return $response;
    }

    private function getToken(){
        $ch = curl_init($this->host . "/identity/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=" . $this->clientId . "&client_secret=" . $this->clientSecret);
        curl_setopt($ch,  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('accept: application/json',));
        $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
        curl_close($ch);
        $token = $response->access_token;
        return $token;
    }

    private function bodyBuilder(){
        $body = new stdClass();
        if (isset($this->action)){
            $body->action = $this->action;
        }
        if (isset($this->lookupField)){
            $body->lookupField = $this->lookupField;
        }
        $body->input = $this->input;
        $json = json_encode($body);
        return $json;
    }

    private static function csvString($fields){
        $csvString = "";
        $i = 0;
        foreach($fields as $field){
            if ($i > 0){
                $csvString = $csvString . "," . $field;
            }elseif ($i === 0){
                $csvString = $field;
            }
        }
        return $csvString;
    }
}

A: It is not possible to put your new Leads directly to a Smart Campaign via the API.
However, –as you noted– you can push them to a List, which is halfway to success. From there, the only thing you need to do is to configure the Smart Campaign in question to pick up the Leads from the List you populate.
You can do that on the Smart List tab of the Smart Campaign by setting up the Added to List trigger and point it to your List. Screenshot attached.
This way the new Lead will be immediately added to the Smart List as well.


Like CHM, Samaritan Ministries is a health sharing program. When a member has a need it is sent in to the headquarters, and then that need is shared among the other members. Funds are sent directly to the family in need from other members.
Like other programs, there are levels of membership that determine the amount you are responsible to pay versus the amount that is able to be shared among the members.
"Save to Share™ is an optional program designed to help members with qualified needs that exceed $250,000. Participating members save a designated amount each year for Save to Share™. Members who choose to participate often include a portion of their savings with their monthly share amount that is sent to a member in need.
Pregnancy and birth is as long as the due date is able to be shared at least 260 days AFTER your membership begins. This is standard procedure, which is why it is important to plan ahead before becoming pregnant.
Ultrasounds, chiropractic care, lab work, and massage are also able to be shared.
Edenway is pleased to be able to give this information to you, not as an advertisement for their company, but because we want to let you know that there are ways to fund an out of hospital birth. Samaritan Ministries is a wonderful company that will help you achieve your goals.
Please be sure to do your own research. There are many links provided so that miscommunication does not occur. Edenway cannot be held responsible if information is misunderstood.
Feel free to call our office at 817-558-2229 to set up an appointment to ask our staff any questions about financing. We offer many options, and are excited to help your family grow.


Publishers are Selling the Same Content Twice. This is clearly a big mistake. But there is no compulsion on publishers to adopt this posture (that they have done so, is largely the result of a separate battle that they have been fighting with Apple about the ownership of user-data). Some publishers, all those who work with Exact Editions, have opted to offer free iPad access to their existing subscribers. There is nothing in Apple's terms and conditions that says that publishers cannot do this, or that digital magazine access has to be sold exclusively through iTunes. Apple's mooted new system for in-app subscriptions will surely encourage more publishers to adopt this attractive way of selling subscriptions, though it may also require that digital/app subscriptions are sold through iTunes.
There are not enough iPads out there. Only 15 million in the nine months! Since Apple will sell perhaps another 40 million this year, and no market analyst predicted, prior to launch, that Apple would sell more than 7 million in the first year, this is a glass rapidly filling up before-we-can-get-organised, point. Come on Andrew this is surely a reason for publishers to get their skates on!
Maglets are competing with everything else on the iPad. Yes indeed, "….magazines no longer have the benefit of being at the centre of our cultural lives. They have to work harder than ever to grab our attention and force their way into our habits, a task that's all the harder when they reside on a fully connected device that contains the latest news from thirty seconds ago…" Which is also a reason for magazines to see if they can persuade consumers to use them on iPads just as they use them in their living rooms. Magazine publishers did not chuck in their hands when the TV invaded the living room, innovative publishers will see the iPad as a similar challenge. Glass half full.
Separate App Syndrome. I think Andrew misses a key point here. Magazine publishers have made a big mistake in designing magazine apps as though each issue was a separate app. This is a valid complaint, but not the point that Losowsky makes, and it is one reason for the disappointing showing of several magazine apps. It is also one reason why magazine publishers have felt that they should market and sell magazines on the iPad one issue at a time, failing to see that selling subscriptions through, or without, iTunes is clearly the way to go. Magazines as apps work very well as branded apps in iTunes partly because magazine titles often confer superb branding and findability on the product (Marie Claire, Elle, Vogue and also niche titles Literary Review, Opera, Index on Censorship). But the branding should cover magazines in their entirety: past issue, current issue and future issues are ideal to function as branded apps in the customer's iPad. This is a glass that needs to be very full — including the archive.
Magazines are outside the digital conversation. This is indeed a valid objection, but in mitigation the magazine publishers (and app developers such as Exact Editions) can point out that this is a complex and rapidly developing field; better engagement and social interaction with digital magazines is certainly coming. The Exact Editions apps are already stuffed full of links to web pages and email addresses (and on the iPhone, phone numbers that the customer can call). Magazine apps can be highly interactive and they are increasingly becoming more so. Losowsky appears not to have noticed that the iPad itself makes it incredibly easy for a single 'page' or a JPEG to be emailed from any magazine app, it is not a matter of some publishers enabling this. There is nothing that the magazine publishers or the copyright owners can do to stop such informal sharing (which does not mean that magazine apps can be easily copied wholesale; that is a different matter). This is a glass to be shared.
That said, this is still a genuinely exciting time to be working in media. Nothing at all can be taken for granted – except for the simple fact that there will always be a hunger for unique stories, told in a manner in which the text, design, images. and when necessary audio and video, combine to enhance our enjoyment and understanding of the story itself. This ability to make design part of content is the reason why magazines lasted in the first place.
I first noticed Losowsky's piece via an approving tweet, from Erik Spiekermann, perhaps the Lionel Messi of typographic design. This design discontent with magazine apps is not an odd-ball view, most/many good magazine designers are disappointed by the way that magazine iPad apps have been designed so far. My hunch is that the user experience and pleasure in magazine apps will improve as designers and publishers realise that magazine design and book design has to move to a more holistic and a more abstract level, perhaps when designers are less 'giddy' with the possibilities and more relaxed about the opportunities and the 'flow' that comes with touch interfaces. Technology is moving very fast and good digital magazines have to be conceived and conceptualised for systems and services that don't yet exist. From now on all pages are virtual, all stories have addresses, and all interfaces have to be intuitive. This is not a trivial set of challenges for a designer who aims at quality and effect.


We recently were invited to the new Ivy Bath Brasserie to try out their breakfast and brunch menu - exciting!
If you haven't been to the Ivy before, it is a sophisticated, relaxed dining style restaurant which is located on Milsom street (map below) and open all-day. The interiors are absolutely beautiful and the menus have been curated to offer a mix of both modern British comfort food as well as international dishes.
The Ivy had a great choice of breakfast items on their menu ranging from a full English breakfast to a gluten-free vegan crushed avocado on toast - something for everyone.
Our buttermilk pancakes were fluffy and topped with delicious fresh fruit and the pastries were perfectly crispy. They were approved by my French friend so they must have been authentic - the true test 😉.
All of the food was lovely. Paired with beautiful interiors and attentive staff, we said that the Ivy Bath Brasserie was bound to become Bath's latest trendy restaurant and a hot spot for Sunday brunch - and we were right!

The 4 Newest Elements on The Periodic Table Have Just Been Named
BEC CREW
Back in January, officials announced that four new elements had earned a permanent spot on the periodic table, with elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 rounding out the seventh row.
At the time, they all had temporary names and symbols - ununtrium (Uut), ununpentium (Uup), ununseptium (Uus), and ununoctium (Uuo) - but the tyranny of the Uus is finally over, because we now have some shiny new names to get excited about.
Teams of researchers from the US, Russia, and Japan have all been credited with the discovery of these new elements, so have been given the naming rights - which come with some very specific criteria.
As stipulated by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the organisation responsible for confirming the discovery of new elements, any new element must be named after either:
A mythological concept or character (including an astronomical object)
A mineral, or similar substance
A place or geographical region
A property of the element
A scientist
Nice to see that fantasy nerds can still get their fill. Can we please call something drogonian?
With that in mind, here are the new proposed names:
nihonium and symbol Nh, for the element with Z =113,
moscovium with the symbol Mc, for the element with Z = 115,
tennessine with the symbol Ts, for the element with Z = 117, and
oganesson with the symbol Og, for the element with Z = 118.
As Brian Resnick reports for Vox, nihonium is derived from "Nippon", a Japanese word for Japan, and moscovium honours the Russian capital city, Moscow.
Tennessine is named after the state of Tennessee, known for its pioneering research in chemistry. "Tennessine is in recognition of the contribution of the Tennessee region, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, to superheavy element research," says the IUPAC.
This marks the second US state to be honoured on the periodic table, the first was California, referenced by californium (element 98), which was discovered in the 1950s. Hassium (element 108), was named after the German state of Hesse.
Oganesson is named after 83-year-old Russian physicist Yuri Oganessian, and according to Richard Van Noorden from Nature, this is only the second time a new element has been named for a living scientist.
"The first such occasion led to huge controversy, when in 1993 a team at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory proposed naming element 106 seaborgium for US nuclear-chemistry pioneer Glenn Seaborg," says Van Noorden. "At the time an IUPAC committee rejected the proposal, after passing a resolution that elements not be named for living scientists, but it ultimately relented."
The names were proposed by the research teams, accepted by the IUPAC, and now have to undergo a five-month period of public review, which expires on 8 November 2016.
If no one complains - which is likely, considering how inoffensive they all are - the names will then get formal approval. Then it's time to throw out our old text books and scrub down our bathroom walls and make room for the new arrivals.
So why did these four elements take so long to make it on to the periodic table?
Unlike the classics, such as gold, iron, and aluminium, these new elements are not found in nature. They're synthetic elements that can only be created in the lab, and they decay so fast after synthesis, for years the teams behind them didn't have a chance to get a proper look before they morphed into something else entirely.
"For over seven years we continued to search for data conclusively identifying element 113, but we just never saw another event," Kosuke Morita from RIKEN in Japan said of nihonium back in January. "I was not prepared to give up, however, as I believed that one day, if we persevered, luck would fall upon us again."
The Japanese team now has its sights set on "uncharted territory of element 119 and beyond", so hopefully we'll have a drogonian element soon. (We all need to dream sometimes!)


Here are a few health tips & quotes to wet your appetite.
Food as Medicine is being talked about on the television, radio and in the newspapers more and more these days, for example in Channel 4's Food Hospital and Jamie Oliver's crusade on school meals which reflected how the behaviour and health of children could be dramatically improved, simply through the food that they ate. A health promoting diet can alleviate disease, improve health and nutrition for everyone.
Food has been used to heal the body for thousands of years in many cultures and civilisations and Chinese medicine has been one of the major contributors. Chinese medicine views ill health as an imbalance of energy flow in the body and with the careful guidance of the Practitioner, these imbalances can be healed through simple yet effective changes in the diet. REMEMBER, food nourishes our blood and our blood nourishes every cell in our body.
The Practitioner, Wendy Morrison, is passionate about empowering people to learn about their bodies, and how they can help themselves towards a healthier life. The current trend of providing calorific information, how much saturated or unsaturated fat and sugar is contained in food, what vitamins, minerals and general nutritional properties is not enough. Chinese medicine offers another dimension to food. We human beings are all very different, therefore one diet cannot suit everyone.
The pulse and tongue diagnosis provide lots of information, the tongue and pulse are microcosms of the whole body. This diagnosis reflects the internal energetic picture: including quality and condition of Qi (pronounced 'chi') - loosely translated to 'vitality' or 'energy', Blood and Bodily Fluids. These are known as 'the Three Treasures'.
We will establish if you have particular health problems or want to simply improve your current approach to food and consequently your overall health and well being.
Nb. It is important to note that under no circumstances will any conventional medication be changed by the Practitioner without consultation with the Client's GP.
If applicable, your blood pressure will be taken during each consultation i.e. if you have high blood pressure, and a record will be taken of cholesterol results (if available from a recent medical). If the cholesterol level is above the recommended level of 6m.mol, then a further cholesterol check will be required at the end of the study period of 4 - 6 months (obtained via the Client's GP or Employee Well-being Policy).
Emotional well-being will be explored for example whether you experience anxiety, worry or depression.
Prior to the consultation, you will be asked to complete a 7-day food/lifestyle diary. This will then be a good basis to start working from.
The above information is a summary of the Consultation process.
Will the dietary advice fit into my lifestyle?
The dietary recommendations will be achievable without the use of vitamin or mineral supplements, using simple and easy to follow suggestions about food which is fresh, locally grown, organic where possible, using foods that will benefit YOUR specific body ....as one diet doesn't fit all! The dietary advice is intended to work WITH your life not against it and it's all about enjoying your food and your renewed energy and sense of well-being.

Ra Ra Riot Biography
Ra Ra Riot formed in 2006, playing at houses and venues around the Syracuse University campus. The band started to attract attention due to their energetic live shows, enough to gain an appearance at the CMJ Music Marathon, fewer than six months after their formation. Following this appearance, their live show received the first of several favorable reviews from SPIN.com, who called them "one of the best young bands we've heard in a really long time". They went on to open for Art Brut and Bow Wow Wow in New York City, toured the UK twice on their own, then returned, opening for the Editors (footage of which can be found on Crackle); they also toured North America supporting Tokyo Police Club. Their first solo headlining tour of the U.S. was completed in 2007, and in early 2008, they embarked on a second. The band was also invited to play the Iceland Airwaves Festival, in Reykjavík, Iceland. They have recorded three sessions on the national online radio station WOXY and two for the acclaimed Daytrotter sessions at Futureappletree studio 1 in Rock Island, Illinois.
In 2007, they made their first appearance at South by Southwest and headlined a show at the South Street Music Festival in New York City. The band returned to appear again at the South by Southwest Music Conference in March 2008.
After a show in Providence, the band's original drummer, John Ryan Pike, of Hamilton, Massachusetts, went missing in the early morning of June 2, 2007 at Wilbur's Point in Fairhaven. His body was discovered the following day in nearby Buzzards Bay; Pike was believed to have drowned. Ra Ra Riot issued a statement a few weeks after Pike's funeral that they would continue as a band.
In the winter of 2007, the band signed to major label V2 Records. To celebrate their new label deal, Ra Ra Riot released "Dying Is Fine" and "Each Year (RAC Mix)" on 7" vinyl as an A/B single. In December 2007, the band announced that they had finished recording new songs for their debut LP. During their show in Cambridge, MA on April 25, 2008, the band announced their new album "would be released in August. If not August then September" 2008.
On May 19, 2008, the band announced that they had signed to Barsuk Records. Their debut album The Rhumb Line was released on August 19, 2008 in the United States and Canada. It was released in Europe via V2/Cooperative Music on September 22, 2008.

Q: "A single thing" as one and only thing? "the new design allows a single car to be used as both truck and bus"
"two people can use a single computer at the same time"
Can a single thing used like that to emphasize that only one thing is used (formally)? Or should I say "two people can use one computer at the same time"

A: Starting with the defintion of single:

adj.
1.- Not accompanied by another or others; solitary.
2.c. Consisting of one in number:
She had but a single thought, which was to escape.
the freedictionary.com

Continuing with the definition of one:

adj.

*

*Being a single entity, unit, object, or living being:
  I ate one peach.

*Being a single member or element of a group, category, or kind:   I'm just one player on the team.
  the freedictionary.com

The word one is generally interchangeable with the expression a single in this context and many others, but because one has a broader definition, it allows for more ambiguity. In this context, the expression a single tends to emphasize the solitude more forcefully:

A single vehicle that can be used as a car, a truck, and a bus, is probably a mediocre car, an inferior truck, and an inadequate bus.
vs.
One vehicle that can be used as a car, a truck, and a bus, is probably a mediocre car, an inferior truck, and an inadequate bus.

7 Billion - 1 Million Years BTA • 1 Million - 10,000 Years BTA • 10,000 - 1000 Years BTA • 1000 - 361 Years BTA • 20th Century
This is a list of events that occurred in the 20th Century and earlier:
7 Billion - 1 Million Years Before the Third Age Edit
Circa 7 Billion Years Ago Edit
Birth of Lorien, the first sentient creature in the Milky Way galaxy. He along with those that were born in the years after him are naturally immortal. At first, Lorien's race is kept in balance by birth rates, with less than a handful being born each year but eventually the younger generations begin to be born mortal, eventually growing old, infirm and dying, while those that were the first, go on.[1][2][3]
Lorien and the others of his race go out into the galaxy, discover other, younger races including the races that would become known as the Vorlons, the Shadows, the Walkers of Sigma-957, and all the other races that would one day be collectively called "the First Ones". Lorien's race helped them to develop and nurtured them, acting as their teachers and guardians. Eventually Lorien's race would step aside and allow these new races to stand on their own and over the eons eventually becoming the teachers and guardians of the younger races as they begin to arise.[4]
The surviving immortal members of Lorien's race, those who have not died through injury or illness travel beyond The Rim for the void between galaxies, leaving Lorien behind as the last and the first of his race.[4]
An underground city is built by some of the First Ones on the planet that would eventually become known as Beta Durani VII.[5]
After destroying a thousand worlds, the race of First Ones that would become known as The Hand are captured by other First Ones and as punishment are banished to a parallel dimension through a gateway built in the underground city of Beta Durani VII. From their prison, The Hand are still able to watch this universe.
A record of the deeds and fate of The Hand is left in the city, with a warning that they could one day find a way back. However, as the eons pass the city, the gateway and The Hand pass out of memory.[5]
Circa 3 Million Years Ago Edit
At some point the Vorlons discover an ape-like genus on the planet Earth that will eventually produce the Human species and, like they had done on many other worlds, begin to manipulate these creatures to see them as "beings of light."[6]
Circa 1.5 Million Years Ago Edit
The Vorlons visited a thousand worlds.
After having visited a thousand worlds, the Vorlons begin to believe that they truly are gods, as the younger races see them. In their pride they come to believe that they belonged to another higher plane and that they were superior to the universe that gave them birth. With this, the Vorlons resolved to apply all of their collective wisdom and knowledge to transcend this dimension to another place they believed to be the Well of Souls, the foundation of life itself and in doing so become true gods.[6]
The Vorlons build their jumpgate.
The Vorlons build and activate their gate, though they quickly realise the true depth of their mistake when they discover the universe they are trying to escape to contains an incomprehensibly powerful and malevolent race. Even older than the Vorlons, they had in their own universe destroyed thousands of races and continued to destroy thousands more, driven by a hunger beyond any understanding and the belief that only they have the right to exist and all others must be exterminated. Modifying the Vorlon gate to amplify their telepathy, the "Anti-Life" creatures used it to turn many of the Vorlons into their followers, willing to die for them.[6]
The Vorlons not affected by the telepathic impulses eventually managed to fight the invaders back and disable the gate, though those still under the influence dropped it into Hyperspace before the others could stop them and hid it away. The gate will continue to drift while the Vorlons search for it over the next million years.[6]
After the incident, the Vorlons create a race memory so that none of them will ever forget and that those that would serve them will know when the gate is found again.[6]
On a visit to Earth the Vorlons take genetic samples from the population of Homo erectus. Repeating this process across hundreds of other worlds, they begin re-engineering the DNA from these samples to create the Telepath genes.[7]
The First Ones encounter a group of non-corporeal entities and welcome them into their ranks. Over time these beings begin to believe that they are as wise and as knowledgeable as Lorien and the other First Ones and challenge their cosmic order. As punishment these beings are cast down to a primitive Earth and bound so that they cannot escape. Over the centuries however, they start taking possession of corporeal bodies and their tales of exile lay the foundations of many Human myths and religions as well as being the origin of the so-called "demonic possession".[8][9]
1 Million - 10,000 Years Before the Third Age Edit
Having created great empires, explored the galaxy and become vast and timeless, most among the First Ones, having tired of their roles as guardians, slowly leave over the course of a million years. Some travel beyond the Rim to join the others that went before them, never to be seen again. Others, such as the Walkers of Sigma-957, would stay openly and travel among the stars between their places of power, barely aware of the Younger Races.[10][11]
Among those that chose to stay are the Vorlons and the Shadows who together would become the last guardians of the Younger Races, begin fighting against one another in a war of ideology. The Vorlons favoring evolution though control and discipline while the Shadows believe that the only way for the Younger Races to progress is though conflict and war.[12]
At the onset of their wars, rules of engagement were formulated through the mediation of Lorien which both sides agree to honour in order to maintain a balance. They also dictated that the Vorlons and the Shadows would not strike at each other directly.[13]
Lorien settles in the catacombs deep beneath Z'ha'dum. He will stay there until the arrival of John Sheridan in 2261. In the years to come, his presence there would be the reason that the Shadows persist in returning to this world every time they are driven off again and again during their wars of chaos. They believe that they are showing respect.[1]
On Shir-shraba, the Hyach-do break away from the main evolutionary line of the Hyach becoming a separate race. At first the two races compete for land and resources, but over time they eventually learn to live together.[14]
Circa 497,800 B.C. Edit
An unknown race creates the Vindrizi as a species of genetically neutral symbiotic being to record all aspects of their hosts. Over the millennia they observe events all over the galaxy so that others can learn about the past when all the records have been lost in the next dark age.[15]
Circa 30,000 B. C. Edit
Extinction of the Neanderthal, on Earth.
Circa 7800 B.C. Edit
Having abided by Lorien's rules of engagement for millennia, one of the two sides violate the rules and when the Shadows again begin to encourage conflict between the races, they are fought to a stand still by an alliance of the Vorlons and the other remaining First Ones and driven back to their stronghold at Z'ha'dum. After this "Last Great War" against the Shadows, the First Ones go into hiding and await the return of the Shadows.[16]
Sensing the physical death of a billion lives, the Soul Hunters descend on Ralga and take the entire species' souls. Unknown to them, the Ralgans were not dying, but evolving into a higher, incorporeal state and are trapped when the Soul Hunters place them all into a single soul globe and leave them in one of their Whisper Galleries.[17]
The inhabitants of Ceti IV abandon one of their underground cities.[18]
10,000 - 1000 Years Before the Third Age Edit
The human civilization dawns on Earth. The city-state/Empire of Babylon and the area known as Mesopotamia, located between the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates are widely considered to be the cradle of human civilization. Babylonian mythology tells of a time before the creation of the Earth when different generations of ancient and powerful gods fought one another in a war of Order against Chaos.
The first known network of Jumpgates are built by an unknown alien civilization.[19]

The Grome civilization dawns on Gromahk.[20]
The pak'ma'ra civilization dawns on Pak'ma.[20]
On Centauri Prime, Tuscano becomes the first Emperor. After the construction of the first Royal Palace he commissions the Centauri Imperial Palace Guard, incorporating his seal into the buttons on their uniforms.
Circa 4th Century Edit
On Centauri Prime, the great Emperor Olion has a series of catacombs constructed beneath the capital city to the outlying regions as a means of escape. According to legend, Olion was absolutely paranoid that his people might turn against him. The only person aside from Olion who knew the layout of the maze was the catacomb's architect whom the Emperor had assassinated to keep the secret.[21][22]
On Earth, Owain Ddantgwyn adopts the battle name of Arthur and unites the Kingdoms of Gwynedd and Powys. He is ultimately slain at the Battle of Camlann. Very few records of these events survive yet the "Arthurian legends" that grew up in the following centuries left a deep impression on human culture and civilization, well into the 23rd century. One such legend states that Arthur and his sword Excalibur would one day return to Earth in its greatest hour of need.[23][24]
Llort civilization dawns on Vartas.[20]
Circa 1000s Edit
On Centauri Prime, Morell becomes the new Emperor of the Centauri Empire.[25]
In the third year of his reign, Morell puts down a Xon incursion in the Battle of the Scoria Plains.[25]
While returning with his soldiers to the royal palace following his victory at the Scoria Plains, Emperor Morell stops by the river Tuwain to water his dromes and rest his soldiers after the long march from the sea. While there he met Malia, a prophetess who warned Morell that a dagger would strike to his heart from near his heart and that only the crescent moon hidden in darkness would save him. Later, during a great dinner at the Palace, Morell's nephew Elfeni rises to offer a toast and Morell notices his nephew is wearing a broach shaped like a crescent moon and hidden by the shadow of his arm. Morell calls for the Palace Guard who stop Elfeni just as he draws a blade to assassinate his uncle.[25]
Morell returns to Tuwain and gives the prophetess Malia a tenth share of his fortune and his pledge that for as long as there was an Emperor, there would always be a prophetess of Tuwain held in royal favour, revered and honored as the Prophetess Supreme.[25]
1062 Edit
Emperor Morell commissions the building of an ornate carriage as a gift to his wife Celina. Shortly after she went mad and hanged herself from the highest of the palace's four towers.[25]
On Shir-shraba, the Hyach pass religious laws making it immoral to intermarry with the Hyach-do.[26]
13th Century Edit
Birth of G'Quan on Narn.
The "War of 20 Million Deaths" ends [27] The new Centauri Republic is founded. The General from House Kiro who led the final assault that sees the extinction of the Xon is made Emperor. He commissions an elaborate jewel called "The Eye" (the sigil of House Kiro) that becomes the symbol of authority for the Emperors of the Republic over the centuries [28]
Extinction of the Ikarran.
On Centauri Prime, the practice of arranged marriages is introduced to forge alliances between the Houses.[29]
Shadows intercept the Qal'Thaa.
The starship Qal'Thaa is shot down near Theta 49 by a Shadow Vessel, while carrying a shipment of one thousand slaves from Zander Prime. A few life pods survived and made it to the surface where the remaining one hundred former slaves - now stranded with no way of returning home - settled and eventually established a small colony, having been seemingly forgotten by those that had kidnapped them from their homeworld.[8][30]
A Minbari not born of Minbari.
As the First Shadow War nears its end, the tide of battle turns against the Minbari with the destruction of their greatest starbase and center for their war efforts.[31] The remaining forces, their leaders dead and their ships damaged are scattered and cut off, unable to find a safe port as all other races had been turned against them and unwilling to return to Minbar for fear of leading the Shadows back to their homeworld.[32]
Jeffrey Sinclair arrives with Babylon 4 and sends a message to Kosh Naranek and Ulkesh Naranek of the Vorlon Empire. The Vorlons arrive first, and using one of the Triluminaries, Sinclair enters a chrysalis, emerging later as a Minbari/Human hybrid. Sending a signal to the Minbari who send a boarding party, they are met by Zathras and are taken to Sinclair who, flanked by two Vorlons, introduces himself as Valen.[33][34][35]
The Minbari see Valen and his station as an answer to their prayers and quickly rally around him and adopt the station as their new base. Valen first attempts to unite the Minbari Castes, but they begin to quarrel amongst themselves again, refusing to bend. Valen turns his back on them and creates the Anla'Shok: a new army that recognizes no caste lines and operates outside of the uncooperative castes. They in turn call him "Entil'Zha." Shamed by Valen's decisive actions, the Minbari allow him to re-organise them. He calls forth the nine, the first Grey Council consisting of three from each caste; worker, warrior and religious.[19][32]
Valen and Nukenn at Mount H'Leya during the First Shadow War.
Seeking allies, Valen calls many races to his cause, gathering them on Minbar where, just outside of the city of Tuzanor, at the peak of Mount H'Leya, he gives his holy "Times to come" speech, accompanied by a pair of Vorlons. He prophesizes the defeat of the Shadows and that they will return in a thousand years; That the Anla'Shok will arise and be instrumental in that coming war against their ancient enemy, in which the Minbari would unite with the other half of their soul.[36][37] Among those to witness the event first hand was the Tak'cha Ramde Zarwin who becomes on of Valen's very first non-Minbari followers.[32]
The Tak'cha assault the Yolu of Pa'ri
The Yolu decline to join Valen's cause, choosing to remain neutral. The Tak'cha take it upon themselves to punish them and launch a punitive assault on their homeworld Pa'ri. When word reaches Valen of this atrocity he furiously expels the Tak'cha from the alliance and all Minbari records of their existence - save for those aboard the station - are expunged.[32]
Slowly the tide of battle turns in the Minbari's favor and the Shadows are eventually driven out of all of their places and into hiding beneath Z'ha'dum where they enter into hibernation.[19] With the war over, Babylon 4 (which the Tak'cha call "Ende X'Ton") is taken in secret to a place of rest to become a monument. Its crew never returned and its fate would remain a mystery for over nine hundred years.[32]
Hurr civilization dawns on Androma.[20]
The Hyach achieve interstellar travel.[20]
Valen finds and marries Catherine Sakai, the two have several children. Fearing persecution they both leave Minbar with their family.[32][38]
Circa 1360 Edit
Valen having been forced to leave Minbar passes away aged well over 100 years, though the exact circumstances are a mystery and his body is never found. His children returned to Minbar shortly after.[38]
The Drazi achieve interstellar travel.[39]
Birth of Jeanne d'Arc in the village of Domrémy in northeastern France on Earth. A mere peasant girl, she will later go on to lead the armies of France against the invading English, claiming to hear "voices from God". She is eventually captured and executed for heresy, though by the early 20th Century she would be posthumously canonised and declared a holy martyr.[40]
On Shir-shraba, a Hyach-do wanders into an encampment of Drazi who are collecting Kili grain for the Dark Moon ceremony on Zhabar. The Hyach-do asked to be taken with them, but by the terms of their trade contract, the Drazi refused and notified those in charge of collection, unaware that this Hyach-do would be exterminated.[41]
The Hyach-do are completely wiped out on the Hyach home world.[42]
On Earth, a lone Drakh called Drak'hul takes up residence in the region of Wallachia to study the local humans, implanting several with keepers. The story of his activities pervaded in human culture for centuries afterwards before becoming merged with those of Vlad Tepes, a cruel and brutal Prince of Wallachia who came to power during the same period.[43][44]
On Minbar, the Third Fane of Chudomo is formed and begins serving with honour.[45]
