The Herbwife's Kitchen » Baby boom: pregnancy tips.
Perhaps it really is "Change you can conceive in," as Newsweek put it.
In any case babies are popping up everywhere these days, and people have been asking me about herbs and healthy pregnancy.
1. The "duh" list: Get enough rest, eat enough (good) food, and stay away from toxic stuff.
Rest: Your body will tell you how much you need. It's best to listen.
Food: Don't eat bad food. Do your best to avoid sketchy food. Do eat plenty of good-quality protein (including fish), all kinds of good fats, and lots of in-season vegetables. (Confused about fish? Check this out. And this.) Oh, and if you know you're allergic or sensitive to something, just don't eat it.
2. Pay close attention to your blood sugar.
Avoid low blood sugar: Eat protein. Avoid refined carbohydrates (i.e., white flour, white sugar, white rice). Eat protein. Don't eat carbohydrates by themselves (butter your bread; put cheese on your crackers). Eat protein. And eat fat, lots of good fat.
3. Take care of your kidneys.
4. Take care of your nerves.
There's a lot going on. Give yourself a break. Breathe a lot and stretch a lot and take time to be quiet. Also milky oats. And peach leaf if you're highly sensitive and irritable. Mint tea is lovely for tired nerves, and so is bee balm tea, especially if those nerves are feeling frayed. Holy basil tea if you're tense and worried. Rose if you're sad and scared.
5. Take care of your veins.
Remember all that extra blood? It can be a lot for your veins to deal with, too. Eat lots of purple foods — blueberries, blackberries, beets. If you know you might be prone to varicose veins (did your mother get them? ask her!), you might take hawthorne berries or oak bark (small doses of oak) preemptively.
6. Take care of your belly.
To prevent nausea (especially in the morning), make sure you eat enough protein (especially at supper). Peach leaf and ginger are both great for nausea, but in opposite situations: peach is good for "hot" constitutions, and ginger for "cold" ones. If you don't know, experiment. Take a little taste and see how you feel. Catnip and mint are also good if you're feeling gassy and burpish.
As your baby grows, your guts might get a bit sluggish. Make sure you eat enough bulky and mucilaginous food to keep things in order. Flaxseed is great for this, and so are apples.
7. And of course, take care of your uterus.
Remember, the uterus is a muscle. For generations, midwives have reminded us that raspberry leaf tea makes it strong. This is a good thing. A cup of raspberry leaf tea everyday is pleasant, too.
Thank you, Rebecca! I love this blog.
And this post is fabulous. But you forgot one important topic, which is ensuring that you get enough folic acid during pregnancy to protect against spina bifida in the baby, which can be devastating and is totally avoidable. I agree that supplements are of dubious value in general (though folic acid supplementation seems to work pretty well for people with less than optimal diets). I'm a big advocate of getting your nutrients from food. Lentils, leafy greens, asparagus, broccoli, strawberries, and many other delicious foods are all excellent sources of folic acid. My recommendation as a baby doctor would be to try a diet high in folic acid, and then get a blood test to ensure that your folate level is where it should be during pregnancy.Then decide if getting it through food is sufficient or if considering supplementation would be reasonable.
What appropriate timing to come across this article! We just found out we're joining the baby boom. I will be getting some raspberry leaf tea and some more cod liver oil. I usually get the Carlson brand, do you have one you prefer? And for varicose veins, how would I go about taking the barks? I've already gotten several spider veins, (this is my 3rd pregnancy) and I'd like to stop the cycle! Also my hormones are confused and my poor face is in disarray…. any suggestions? I hardly wear make-up, when I do it's Everyday Minerals, I eat whole, local organic foods. I avoid refined foods, drink water and Kombucha…. I'm doing everything I know to do. Any herbs that would do the trick?
One thing that could also be considered though, on top of what you and other comments have made is to use organic flax seed oil instead of fish liver oil, that is best for vegans and vegetarians and of course limits that all important pollution of the important pregnant woman and unborn baby.
Lacey — I don't have a specific cod liver oil brand that I prefer. Hawthorn berries are great for strong veins — you could use a tincture or a decoction (berries boiled in water). Same with the oak bark, though you want to go easy on that one because of the risk of constipation. It sounds like you might need a consultation with an herbalist — I don't know what your constitution is like, so I can't say which herbs might help you with your skin, etc.
Lotusbirther — Thank you! I didn't mention flax because it's not necessarily comparable to fish oil, as the body needs to convert the fatty acids in flax (ALA) to the all-important-for-brain-development EPA and DHA. It's controversial how much of the ALA in flax is converted, and it probably differs from person to person. For a committed vegetarian, flax is an option, though, as you mention.
Unfortunately, the most important time for folate is during the first few weeks of pregnancy when the neural tube is forming into what becomes, in part, the spinal cord. (This is known as the teratogenic period; the word nerds among us will appreciate what a horrible phrase that is.) So it's as important, if not more so, for women who may become pregnant to ensure their folic acid intake is adequate, though it is a consideration throughout the duration of the pregnancy.
Do you have any recommendations for those of us who already have varicose veins? I wish I had been more proactive (they run in my family)! Thanks. I love your blog!
Thank you for your advice, I'll be searching out some Hawthorn berries and a local herbalist! As per the Folic acid suggestion, I was so pleased that before I found out I was pregnant I was craving liver (which I've never had before) So I made some and then found out that it's very high in folic acid as well as several vitamins! It pays to listen to our bodies!
Lacey, I had a similar experience. I conceived in spring, RIGHT after asparagus season, so it was perfect timing- after 3-4 weeks of near daily asparagus, which is very high in folate, I got pregnant. I never took prenatals (I'm against artifical supplementation, but I did drink nettles and RRL a lot in my pregnancy as well as keeping up with a whole food diet), and dd was perfectly healthy.
Thanks so much for this post. We are thinking about having our third child and I really want to do things *right* this time. I love the way you have herbal advice mixed in with healthy things like: eat lots of good fat!!
I have been following a traditional diet for a couple of years now and would never take supplements, so your herbal advice is great for me.
I wonder if blood sugar was my problem in my first two pregnancies, I was as sick as a dog for both of them. Now I eat hardly any carbs, I am gluten intolerant, so hopefully I wont be so sick next time round!
Funny, I had different severe food aversions with each of my pregnancies. Foods that if I went near, I would … you know. With the first it was oregano which apparently in LARGE does can do something bad (I can't remember, stimulate the uterus or something) and with the second cumin. Normally, I love both of those things. I tried to respect my blech factor with each pregnancy but avoiding stress was quite tricky!
I remember once a researcher said it was odd that morning sickness was most commonly directed toward meat and not vegetables reasoning that vegetables were more likely to contain phytotoxins only later to admit that meat is often the source (or was) of contimation. Then again, why does everything biological have to make sense. Morning sickness is a puzzle to me though I did have a severe and undiagnosed vit. B deficiency which could have contributed to it.
I have a cod liver oil that I would recommend! Green Pasture's Blue Ice Gold High-Vitamin cod liver oil blend. Dr. Weston A. Price discovered a magical synergy when combining Cod Liver Oil and High-Vitamin Butter Oil.
I hope you find this, wasn't sure on where to put it! I need some advice for staying healthy whilst breastfeeding – my iron's shot right down & I need to stay strong & energetic!
what is the best way to do nettles and raspberry leaves? I'd love to try both, but can you make it yourself? How do you know that the stuff in the box is potent enough?
hello I'm 21 weeks pregnant and have been struggling with anxiety for 11mths.Dr. prescribe the velenxafine pills its the generic brand of effexor which by the way didn't work so good either. I've been off them for a month and a half and I've been having terrible withdrawals symptoms from it which the Dr say it should only last for a couple weeks which is not true cause I still have them and my anxiety has being creeping up again. My Dr recommends me to drink chamomile tea and I have but that doesn't seems to help a lot. So my question is What teas or any other herbal pills do you recommend I drink for my anxiety insomnia nausea's and headaches any information will be greatly appreciated.
Choose an algae supplement; fish eat algae and you can too.
that bee balm should be avoided?
I have also heard flax should be avoided?
So much information out there…can get confusing!

Over 900 South Korean residents shave their heads to protest a government decision to base a U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile defence unit in their town. Natasha Howitt reports.
The South Korean government is deploying a U.S. missile defence system to counter North Korea to this farming town. The residents are not happy -- and hundreds are shaving their heads in protest. Tensions have been high in the region since the North conducted its fourth nuclear test in January. That was followed by a satellite launch, and a string of missile tests. "This is the most powerful way of protesting," protest leader Kim An-soo says, because "we cannot fight the government." The system is known as THAAD, which stands for Terminal High Altitude Area Defence. It is sophisticated, and residents worry it will make their town - Seongju - a target. The government however is adamant it will make South Korea safer. But its neighbours North Korea and China see it as a threat. The defence ministry expects the system to be operational by the end of next year.

Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) has earned a new ranking of being the 44th most connected 'megahub' airport in the world.
Air travel intelligence company OAG published its 2018 rankings this week, which gave YUL a score of 114 on its connectivity index score. The airport tied with Philadelphia International Airport, and ranked just ahead of Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport (score 119) but before Philadelphia International Airport (score 105).
In comparison, London Heathrow, the top ranking airport, had a score of 333, and Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) came in at fifth place with a score of 271.
Vancouver International Airport ranked 27th with a score of 159.
Air Canada's flights account for a fairly significant portion of the flights at each of Canada's three largest airports; the flag carrier has a share of 60% at its main hub at YYZ, 46% at YVR, and 57% at YUL.
The analysis was based on global aviation data over the 12-month period leading to July 2018, with factors such as all the possible connections between inbound and outbound flights within a six-hour window and the minimum and maximum connection times.
It ranked the largest 200 airports in the world (based on the total scheduled number of seats in July 2018) and the largest 200 international airports (based on total international scheduled seats in July 2018).

The London Stock Exchange Limited (LSE) is the world's oldest stock exchange and one of the top three stock exchanges in the world, after the New York and Tokyo exchanges. Founded in 1773 and reincorporated as a private limited company in 1986, the LSE is also the world leader in international share trading. The LSE operates a number of market products, including the main board listing, featuring more than 3,000 companies and including over 500 international companies, as well as the secondary AIM (Alternative Investment Market), established in 1995 as a vehicle for trades in small, high-growth companies. More than 70 companies are listed on the AIM board. After launching the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Services (SETS) in 1997, the LSE introduced a new listing, techMARK, tailored to the specific needs of the high-technology sector and designed to compete with the NASDAQ index. With a total equity turnover value of more than £3.5 billion, the LSE achieved gross revenues of £149.8 million in 1999. The LSE is led by Chairman John Kemp-Welch and CEO Gavin Casey.
Founded in 1773, the LSE reflects more than 200 years of the development of share-based enterprise. The world's first joint-stock company was created in the mid-16th century. Traditionally, companies were either owned by a single individual or through a partnership with two or more owners. While this arrangement sufficed for smaller businesses and stable market sectors, direct financial responsibility for riskier endeavors--such as the great trade exploration voyages of the period--were judged too precarious for an individual or limited group of investors. The organization of such a venture, that of a voyage to trace a northern sea route to the Far East from London in 1553, introduced the world's first shareholder-based company. Selling shares to a larger number of investors reduced the financial risk for each individual investor, while enabling the company itself to raise the capital needed to fund its operations.
This first joint-stock company failed to find a northern sea route to the Far East. However, a meeting with Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible brought the company the exclusive rights to trade between Russia and England. The Muscovy Company, as it came to be called, became a commercial success, rewarded its shareholders with large profits, and inspired the creation of new investment ventures. The Muscovy Company served as the model for future shareholder-based companies. Investors contributed capital funding, while direction of the company's operations remained in the hands of its management. The investors, who were allowed to sell their holdings or buy more shares, were given dividends according to the company's profits.
As more companies were set up following the Muscovy model, a new profession came into being, that of the broker, who acted as a middleman for trades of shares, helping to boost not only the number of joint-stock companies but also the number of investors. Adding impetus to this movement was the foundation of the Bank of England as a joint-stock company by King William III in order to provide funding for England's military campaign against France at the end of the 17th century. The shareholder system was given further support by legislation to limit and punish brokers for malpractice.
By the 18th century, a flourishing "market" for shares was in place--so much so that the period marked the first stock market crash in 1720. While trading took place at the Royal Exchange through the middle of the century, the rowdy behavior--itself to become something of a tradition on the market floor--of certain brokers led to their exclusion. Instead of leaving the business, these brokers began meeting at Jonathan's Coffee House and other coffee shops in the Threadneedle Street area of London. In 1760, some 150 brokers founded their own club to buy and sell stock at Jonathan's. The following decade, in 1773, the members of the club changed its name to the Stock Exchange.
As the individual broker members of the Stock Exchange began to establish brokerage firms, and the number of markets expanded, the Stock Exchange saw a need for new quarters. In 1801, the Stock Exchange began construction on a new building at what was to become its permanent London location. The following year, the Stock Exchange published a Deed of Settlement, formally outlining the operating rules and procedures of the stock market.
If the original joint-stock companies were formed to provide funding for the many voyages of discovery, overseas trading, and foreign military campaigns, the shareholder-based company structure showed itself easily adaptable to the changing economic landscape of the 19th century. The Industrial Revolution, coupled with such major infrastructure undertakings as the building of a national railroad system, provided the basis for the modern period of shareholder-based corporations. The appearance of a great many new companies exploiting a greater number of materials, products, and markets prompted the formation of some 20 other stock exchanges operating in the United Kingdom. Nonetheless, the London Stock Exchange remained the United Kingdom's most important stock exchange. New technologies, such as the telegraph, brought such stock market innovations as the ticker tape--the first, launched in 1872 by the London Stock Exchange, was capable of an output of six words per minute--which in turn enabled trades to take place elsewhere than the market floor. London's position as the world's financial center placed the LSE at the top of the world's stock markets.
At the end of the 19th century, the LSE revised its charters. Changes in the Deed of Settlement in 1875 created a more corporate-based entity for the Exchange, which now operated on behalf of its owner-members&mdash opposed to being operated by its members--while members remained responsible for the company's debts and operational obligations. A further evolution occurred in 1890, when the country's stock exchanges were linked together for the first time, under an Association of Stock Exchanges. The individual exchanges continued to operate independently, however. At the beginning of the 20th century, a new set of guidelines refined the Stock Exchange's member lists into "broker" and "jobber" classes.
Disruption in European trade caused by the outbreak of World War I led to the closure of the continent's stock exchanges. The LSE was forced to follow suit, suspending trades in July 1914, the last of the European exchanges to close. The Exchange's members quickly joined the war effort, creating the Stock Exchange Battalion of Royal Fusiliers, which succeeded in raising more than 1,600 volunteers. After it became evident that the war was to be a protracted one, the LSE reopened at the beginning of 1915. Normal trading conditions were not restored, however, until the end of the war in 1918, when the British government introduced a highly successful series of "Victory Bonds."
If the British market was largely spared the brunt of the New York stock market crash of 1929, the LSE was nonetheless forced to end trading in U.S. shares. While the buildup to World War II enabled the world's stock markets to regain their momentum, the devastation of the European economy brought on a vast change in the world economic and stock market landscape. The rise of the United States as the world's preeminent economic force saw the New York Stock Exchange outpace the LSE as the world's busiest and richest exchange. The rise of Japan as an economic power beginning in the 1960s and especially into the 1970s and 1980s saw the Tokyo Stock Exchange take over the number two position.
Nonetheless, London remained the center of the European community's financial markets, and the LSE gained increasing importance in the market for international stocks. London was also to figure prominently as the undisputed financial center of the then-forming European Union. Meanwhile, the stock markets were attracting larger numbers of investors, and especially investments from private individuals. The Exchange's member firms saw the need to expand their broker staff to accommodate the new influx of investors as well as the new investment products being introduced at the time. The increasing activity led to the need for new quarters; in 1972, the new LSE building, featuring a new 23,000-square-foot trading floor and a 26-story office building, was completed on the site where the Exchange had operated since 1801. In the same year, women were granted the right to become stockbrokers for the first time.
Increasing competition and technological development had also brought about both the need and the potential to consolidate the United Kingdom's many stock exchanges. The cooperation that had begun under the Association of Stock Exchanges had led to closer coordination among the United Kingdom's stock exchanges, and particularly among the more than 20 exchanges operated outside of London. The new market realities of the late 20th century were increasingly challenging the viability of these smaller exchanges. In 1973, moves were taken to combine the United Kingdom's smaller provincial exchanges into a single national exchange under the LSE.
The year 1986 marked a new era for the LSE. Changes in the legislation governing the United Kingdom's investment businesses, as part of the Companies Act of 1985, enabled the LSE to restructure its operations the following year as a private limited company (plc) with its member broker firms becoming shareholders. Under the company's articles of incorporation, these shareholders were not eligible to receive distribution of any profits. Instead, all profits were to be returned to the company for infrastructure and other development costs.
On October 27, 1986, the LSE underwent a still more visible transformation. Known thereafter as the "Big Bang" of the London financial scene, that day saw the implementation of several changes to the LSE's operations. For one, the company's member firms were now allowed to be purchased by outsider corporations, enabling these brokerages to increase their own capital resources in order to compete with increasingly powerful firms overseas. Another change was the abolition of minimum commission charges; stock exchange member firms were now free to negotiate their commissions with clients. At the same time, the individual members of the exchange no longer held voting rights. Moreover, marking the end of centuries of tradition, trading was moved off the trading floor to so-called "dealing-rooms," where trades were no longer conducted face-to-face but by computer and telephone. The days of the "rowdy" broker were done, at least in London. The introduction of computer technology, which enabled instantaneous pricing displays anywhere in the United Kingdom--or even the world--also allowed brokers to operate offices beyond London. The appearance of new commercial brokerage branch offices soon became commonplace across the United Kingdom.
The LSE's Deed of Settlement, in place since 1885 and originally introduced in 1802, was finally replaced by a Memorandum and Articles of Association in 1991. Under the new articles, the LSE's governing body, the Council of the Exchange, was replaced by a board of directors drawing not only from the Exchange's own management but also from its member and client base.
The LSE faced rising pressures to adapt to the changing nature of the stock market in the 1990s. On the one hand, new technologies-particularly electronic trading systems that were rapidly rendering obsolete the Exchange's reliance on telephone confirmations--were stepping up the pace of trading and enabling trading to continue nonstop around the world; as Western markets closed for the day, their Far Eastern counterparts were just beginning trading. On the other hand, playing the stock market was becoming popular among larger portions of the population, with resulting pressures to make trading more accessible.
At the same time, a new breed of company was making evident the need for a new type of stock exchange. The roaring success of so-called "start-up" companies, that is, high-technology specialists that often went from zero to enormous market capitalization in brief periods of time, gave new impetus to exchanges, such as the NASDAQ, that were able to offer the flexibility these new companies, which often had yet to show a profit, required. In 1995, the LSE responded to this new market with the creation of AIM, the Alternative Investment Market, created specifically for startups and smaller companies. By the end of the decade, AIM had managed to attract nearly 400 companies.
In 1997, the LSE undertook another new venture with the introduction of the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service (SETS), which replaced--at least for some brokers and trades--traditional techniques with an electronic interface. Meanwhile, the LSE was preparing to confront the new realities of the European Market, as the EC prepared for the launch of the Euro, the single European currency. With Frankfurt winning the position as the site of the European Central Bank, London suddenly found its position as European financial leader under attack. In order to defend its position, the LSE quickly entered into a partnership agreement with the Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt.
Momentum among high-technology stocks continued to build in the waning years of the century, when much of the world began preparations to enter into a new economic landscape, the so-called Internet Economy. In 1999, in order to provide a more appropriate vehicle for this new breed of stock, the LSE launched the techMark exchange. This new exchange, modeled directly on the NASDAQ and the Neuer Markt of Germany, provided still more flexible listing conditions for high-tech and startup companies.
As the LSE entered its fourth century of trading, it continued to show the willingness to evolve and embrace new economic realities that had enabled it to maintain its position as not only the world's oldest stock exchange, but one of the world's leading exchanges. In early 2000, the LSE began reviewing a number of its policies--including allowing anonymous electronic trades for certain companies--meant to bring London in line with the policies of a new alliance among exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Milan, and Zurich, scheduled to begin trading in November 2000.

Some people say that it is a flaw of mine because I get happy by the simple things, but personally, I find that it is my biggest strength. I do not really see any problem with becoming so amazed by the little things. I guess it reflects how appreciative I am.

London Indian Film Festival at Home is Streaming from May 13
Going live online on Wednesday May 13th with its first selection of films, the Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) & Birmingham Indian Film Festival (BIFF) will showcase its 9 award-winning short films that reflect the focus and ethos of Satyajit Ray's passion for empathetic stories on the struggles of common people. After a 10 year run and becoming the largest annual Indian film event in Europe, the festival team were challenged on how to present the four city festival this June.
In reaction to the current challenging times, the solution of finding new ways to stay connected with audiences, comes via the delivery of an online version of the festival, on its own OTT Platform, for viewing at home. LIFF is the first Indian film festival to make this digital leap and will continue to push the boundaries by showing high quality movies in a diversity of South Asian languages with 'London Indian Film Festival at Home'.
As lock-down continues in the UK, the festival is being supported by an Audience Award from BFI (British Film Institute), using National Lottery funds, the Bagri Foundation to develop a new hybrid, part-digital and part cinema based model strategy which will be rolled out this year and into the future. South Asian filmmakers have already crucially rallied to support the festival's online initiative and this is helping LIFF offer the festival for free for a limited time.
Working with New Zealand's Shift 72, who launched CPH:Dox online in March, a new UK geo-blocked platform will launch, with the award winners of the last 9 years of the Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition. Ray's family granted the festival the right to use the master filmmaker's name as the films are selected to follow Ray's focus of South Asian experience and humanist vision. The showcased short films have been programmed together for the first time and include early works of lauded directors Neeraj Ghaywan (Cannes FIPRESCI and Prix de l'Avenir winner Masaan) and Shubashish Bhutiani (UNESCO prize-winning, BFI distributed Hotel Salvation). The festival will follow this with a host of feature films being launched in the summer.
Executive & Programming Director of the festival Cary Rajinder Sawhney says,
On the 99th birth anniversary month of the world's most loved Indian director Satyajit Ray, it seems almost a tryst with destiny to be able to show, for the first time, all the winners together of the renowned Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition, that the Ray family kindly supported because the films must enshrine Ray's empathetic vision of humanity. Several of these younger filmmakers, talent spotted by the festival, have gone onto very great things. Given the Bagri Foundation London Indian Film Festival's championing of torch bearing and rare independent films and emerging filmmakers it seems right for us to launch our new online platform with these bright cinematic gems.
Head of BFI Audiences Ben Luxford says,
We are delighted to support LIFF's ambitious plans to present the festival online and, by doing so, ensure that this year's programme of South Asian cinema reaches an even wider audience, starting with a unique opportunity to see the winners of the Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition over the last 9 years. We look forward to seeing the full programme as it is developed.
Bagri Foundation Trustee Alka Bagri says,
We are excited to see LIFF, in their 11th year, present their incredible catalogue of Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition winners online in the UK to watch for free. With so much culture to view digitally now, LIFF offers a unique collection of stories from India which embrace both rural and urban, and male and female voices. These films display a realist quality that provides a rare glimpse into the private lives of those longing for love, dealing with family struggles or just surviving day to day. We are thrilled to support this endeavor.
The 9 Satyajit Ray Short Film Competition winning films are:
U Ushacha (Rohan Kanwade, 2019)
Usha, a single mother who works as a farm laborer, feels drawn to a female teacher of the local primary school in ways she never thought possible, The attraction inspires her to learn to read and write, one day hoping to be as good as her teacher.
The Peanut Seller (Etienne Sievers, 2018)
An orphaned young ragpicker battling isolation and poverty in the streets of New Delhi tries to locate the one man capable of helping him find his mother.
Papa (Siddarth Chauhan, 2017)
A paralysed mother, Sushma and her young son, Rajiv are learning to adjust with their new life after an accident leaves their lives changed forever. Sushma's only hope is a pigeon, which she found in her house on the day her husband died.
Mochi (The Cobbler) (Saqib Pandon, 2016)
Gopal, a Mumbai cobbler at a railway station, struggles to make ends meet in his minimum wage job. With a growing son, it takes a fine balance to manage the family finances. It just takes on careless mistake.
Khargosh (The Rabbit) (Sudarshan Suresh, 2015)
A debt ridden farmer struggles to keep afloat amidst mounting pressure from his money lenders. When his young daughter decides to adopt a stray rabbit, the relationship between father and daughter is put to the test.
Kush (Shubhashish Bhutiani, 2014)
In the aftermath of Indira Gandhi's assassination by her two Sikh bodyguards, a school teacher travelling back from a field trip with her class struggles to protect Kush, the only Sikh student in the class, from the growing violence around him.
Kaun Kamleshwar (Anurag Goswami, 2013)
Brothers Madhav and Raghu travel back to their village with a clear mission – to find Kamleshwar and put an end to their troubles. Fate, however, takes an unexpected turn….
Shor (Neeraj Ghaywan, 2012)
Barely surviving in the seedy ghettos of Mumbai, Lallam and Meena find each other while embracing death, divorce and redemption.
Amar (Andrew Hinton, 2011)
All great achievements require time. Amar is 14 and top of his class. Someday he'd like to be a professional cricket but for now he's the family's main breadwinner. An observational documentary which leads us through Amar's daily routine.
Films are geo-blocked to UK audiences only.

Emma JM. Ates
RP, RCAT, DTATI, CCP, BFA; Certified CP, AMM, ACT, DBT.
Emma JM. Ates is the founder and program developer of the Center for Contemplative Creative Science (CCCS). I am a registered psychotherapist (CRPO), a registered Canadian art therapist (CATA), a contemplative creative psychotherapist (CCCS) with over 20 years of meditation practice, and 10 years as a contemplative creative instructor. For almost 4 years, I was a mental health therapist and provided brief therapy for youth, adults, and couples at the Centre Francophone du Grand Toronto. Since January 2021, I am in private practice (part-time) and offer services in both English and French at the Mindful Maelstrom Clinic in downtown Toronto.
Emma received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Aix-en-Provence University in France, and she holds a Master Level Diploma's in Art Therapy (DTATI) from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI). She completed training and certifications in contemplative psychotherapy, and compassion-based resilience training (CBRT) with the Nalanda Institute; applied mindfulness meditation at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies; and trained in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
Contemplative Creative Science (CCS) is a Buddhist-based holistic contemporary application of Contemplative Science and Dharma art into mental health and psychotherapy. It is informed by the many forms of contemplative science and arts in traditional and Buddhist modernism (McMahan), and the latest research on Buddhist psychology, neuroscience, mindfulness- and compassion-based interventions.
Clinical research on CCS started in 2017 with my thesis on contemplative phototherapy (CPT) for youth with anxiety disorders. CCS has been informed from the start (2017) on the philosophy of mind, contemplative psychologies, contemplative arts, and meditation practices found in classical Mahayana Tibetan, Japanese, and Indian Buddhist systems. This research is grounded in classical and modern Buddhist texts, scientific literature, and everyday applications of contemplative creative approaches and practices in contemporary life. This foundation facilitates the development of curriculums and programs based on ethics that respect Buddhist origins of contemplative study and practices. The root intention of Contemplative Creative Science (CCS) is the well-being and global health of all beings including the planet. The courses and programs developed for continuing education of mental health professionals, and training open to the public are focused on contemplative creative and bio (nature)-based practices.
Presently, I am an instructor for the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Applied Mindfulness Meditation certificate (course: Mindfulness & Art Therapy) and the Toronto Art Therapy Institute. For few years, I have been asked to develop and facilitate workshops focused on mental health and contemplative creative approaches with Glendon York University (2020/2021), the Mindful Society Global Institute (2018/2016), Sick Kids Hospital.
CONTEMPLATIVE ARTS EXPERIENCES
For over 10 years, I have been a contemplative arts practitioner. I was trained with Nalanda Miksang Contemplative Photography (level I, II, III, Absolute Eye & Maitri Space Awareness) with John McQuade. I am trained in Shambhala Art with Steven and Anne Saitzyk, and in Brushwork and Big Brush Mind with Barbara Bash. I was also introduced to Ikebana, E-Tegami with Sachiko Hata Pereklita; and Sumi-E (brush painting) with Hiroshi Yamamoto (Hakuho) at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Center of Toronto.

Experts say the odds are against gold dinar
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad brought an idea of a gold dinar as an international reserve currency for Muslim countries in preference to the US dollar as the dollar was sometimes unstable. Nazari Ismail, a professor of economics at Universiti Malaya thinks, that the idea is not reliable, as countries as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia would be not interested in the prime ministers proposal.

Dr. Mabid Al-Jarhi, IsDB Prize Laureate, Delivers Lecture on Gains of Switching from Conventional to Islamic Finance
Winner of the 2019 Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Prize in Islamic Economics, Dr. Mabid Al-Jarhi, has delivered a lecture on the gains of switching from conventional to Islamic Finance. He argues that mainstream economics has many limitations, and therefore economists need to be able to identify the weaknesses and propose alternative frameworks. The principles of Islamic Economics provide such a framework. Prohibiting interest on money is not sufficient from an Islamic Finance point of view. Financing through trade contributes to addressing the inefficiency arising from search for trade partners. Together, prohibition of interest and financing through trade would improve allocation of resources in the economy. Dr. Al-Jarhi warns that there is a lot to be done to have a proper Islamic financial system in place. Proper regulations and governance are neccessary to address other kinds of inefficiencies arising from partnership of equity financing.

#Saudi Arabia's new bankruptcy law faces key test in the courts
Saudi Arabia's new legislation is part of broader efforts to overhaul the economy, create employment and wean off the economy from reliance on hydrocarbons. Simeon Djankov, World Bank Senior Research Director and Founder of the Doing Business Report, said the bankruptcy law was passed and now investors are eager to see whether the courts actually understand how to implement it. Djankov believes the merit of the law should become clearer in about a year after courts handle initial cases. Only three cases were settled using the new bankruptcy law and around a dozen more are expected to be resolved over the next year. Resolving insolvency was an area of improvement for Saudi Arabia, climbing 30 places to 62nd in the World Bank report.

Gulf Bonds Go From Haven to Hazard as Saudi Strikes Stun Market
Money managers poured into the Gulf region till Saturday's unprecedented attack on Saudi Arabia's key oil facilities. That drove record gains for bonds in August as they sought refuge in securities boasting an average credit score of A+ amid global trade tensions. According to a Bloomberg Barclays index, Saudi Arabian bonds handed investors the biggest loss, about triple that of Qatari securities. The strikes in Saudi Arabia could escalate into a showdown, with the kingdom and U.S. on one side, and Iran and proxy groups from Yemen to Lebanon, on the other. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for the assault and warned that oil installations in the Arab nation remain a target.

Goldman Sachs brings forward claim linked to Saudi debt saga
Goldman Sachs has bought forward a claim against Bahrain's TIBC whose default 10 years ago triggered the biggest financial crisis in Saudi Arabia. The Bahraini lender raised money in international markets, transferring the funds to now defaulted Saudi conglomerate Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi and Brothers (AHAB). After TIBC defaulted on a foreign exchange deal, AHAB collapsed along with another Saudi conglomerate Saad Group, leaving an estimated $22 billion in unpaid debts. TIBC, administered by the Central Bank of Bahrain, has a claim of around $3 billion against AHAB, while more than 60 banks that have lent money to TIBC remain unpaid.

#Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Bank to boost mortgage #lending
Al Rajhi Bank aims to boost mortgage lending as more affordable housing comes on the market. CEO Steve Bertamini said the bank's mortgage book grew 27% year-on-year in 2018 and it is looking for double digit growth for the next two to three years.

It also sees opportunities in project finance as public-private partnership contracts for water and renewable energy start to be awarded. Saudi Arabia's economy grew in the fourth quarter of last year at its fastest rate since early 2016 due to an expanding oil sector. Fourth-quarter gross domestic product grew by 3.59% from a year earlier.

#Saudi's Al Rajhi Bank says expat exodus could impact its remittance business
Al Rajhi Bank expects low-single digit loan growth for the rest of 2018 as it curtails its loans while economic reforms take shape. A plan to reduce reliance on expatriates to generate jobs for Saudis has seen the number of foreign workers fall by more than 700,000 since last year. Al Rajhi's CEO Steve Bertamini said the expatriate exodus might have some impact on its remittance business. The bank has already seen an overall rise in banking for women and car loans for women have begun to rise substantially from a low base. Bertamini said that their entry into the workforce will mean more demand for accounts, loans and saving products.

Mortgages set to boost lending at #Saudi banking giant Al Rajhi
A jump in mortgages and a recovery in Saudi Arabia's economy may help Al Rajhi Bank to reverse a decline in lending. According to CEO Steve Bertamini, higher government spending and faster economic growth amid higher oil prices should help the revival. Home loans have risen as much as 6% this year and there are 450,000 Saudis eligible to purchase a home under one of the government programs. Saudi Arabia's new housing project announced in February includes an 18 billion riyal ($4.8 billion) loan-guarantee program to boost access to funding and 12.5 billion riyals to support down-payments. Al Rajhi Bank in July reported an 18% rise in second-quarter profit to 2.57 billion riyals. According to Bloomberg economists, Saudi Arabia's economic expansion will accelerate to 1.6% this year from 0.9% in 2017.

#Saudi refinance firm mulls #Sukuk issuance to fund mortgage drive
The Saudi Real Estate Refinance Company (SRC) plans to begin issuing sukuk in late September or early October 2018. SRC aims to refinance 20% of Saudi Arabia's primary home loans market, which authorities hope to expand to SAR 500 billion by 2020. Currently Saudi Arabia's primary home loans stands at SAR 290 billion. Fabrice Susini, CEO of Saudi Real Estate Refinance Company, said that the company will now begin issuing Sukuk to raise money, first in Saudi riyals but eventually in foreign currencies. The company was founded in 2017 by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and has so far operated with financing from the sovereign wealth fund and short-term deals with banks.

You can tell when a restaurant is old: People talk about when it was founded, not when it opened. The fact that this Spanish restaurant was founded in 1860, then, makes it the city's oldest eatery in continuous operation. Many regulars first came here as children, returned as parents and now bring their grandkids. Try the bacalao noruego (cod) and a mixed puchero (pot au feu).


It is tempting to think that, if a person's beliefs are coherent, they are also likely to be true. This truth conduciveness claim is the cornerstone of the popular coherence theory of knowledge and justification. Erik Olsson's new book is the most extensive and detailed study of coherence and probable truth to date. Setting new standards of precision and clarity, Olsson argues that the value of coherence has been widely overestimated. Provocative and readable, Against Coherence will make stimulating reading for epistemologists and anyone with a serious interest in truth.

Q: How to configure deployment of asp.net core website? I need to publish my website with a particular web.config for each environment in order to set the environnement variable ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to "Development" or "Production".
This could be achieved by sending the web.config with that content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\myProject.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout">
      <environmentVariables>
        <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Development" />
      </environmentVariables>
    </aspNetCore>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I have 2 different environments: "Development" and "Production".
I deploy my asp.net core website with webploy by using the following command :
msbuild myProject.csproj /p:PublishProfile=webdeploy-dev /p:DeployOnBuild=true
/p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True /p:Password=...

There is not particular things in my webdeploy profile
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <WebPublishMethod>MSDeploy</WebPublishMethod>
    <PublishProvider>AzureWebSite</PublishProvider>
    <LastUsedBuildConfiguration>Release</LastUsedBuildConfiguration>
    <ExcludeApp_Data>False</ExcludeApp_Data>
    <LastUsedPlatform>Any CPU</LastUsedPlatform>
    <SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish>https://my.test.com</SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish>
    <LaunchSiteAfterPublish>True</LaunchSiteAfterPublish>
    <MSDeployServiceURL>my.test.com</MSDeployServiceURL>
    <DeployIisAppPath>my.test.com</DeployIisAppPath>
    <SkipExtraFilesOnServer>True</SkipExtraFilesOnServer>
    <MSDeployPublishMethod>RemoteAgent</MSDeployPublishMethod> <!-- MsDepSvc , WMSVC, RemoteAgent -->
    <EnableMSDeployBackup>True</EnableMSDeployBackup>
    <AuthType>NTLM</AuthType>
    <UserName>myusername</UserName>
    <EnableMSDeployAppOffline>true</EnableMSDeployAppOffline>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

How could I configure my asp.net core Project, either in the .csproj or in the webdeploy profile or anywhere else, in order to automatically send the appropriate web.config (or modify its content) to the corresponding environment ?

A: As @CalC said, I just wanted to set the environment variable on the target machines which are differents. So publishing a web.config that will override this value, that may be already set locally, is certainly dangerous and definitively not the good way to do it.
So the answer is : you should not publish the web.config to your publishing folder, but update it directly on the target machine/folder.
It's also possible to set this environment variable with other methods not covered here.

Q: Calculating cos(x) through Maclaurin series approximation using a factorial function and a cosine one I have an assignment to code a program to calculate cos(x) through the Maclaurin approximation. However I must use a function for the cos(x) and another one to calculate the exponentials that go on the denominators inside the cos(x) function. I think most of this is right, but I'm probably missing on something and I can't figure out what.
#include<stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int fat(int);
float cosx(float);
int main()
{
    float x1;
    /* Original code: **x1 = x1 * 3.14159 / 180;** `transforms the value to radians` */
    x1 = x1 * 3.14159 / 180;                     /* transforms the value to radians */
    printf("Insert number:\n");
    scanf("%f", &x1);
    printf("Cosine of %f = %f", x1, cosx(x1));
    return 0;
}

int fat(int y)
{
    int n, fat = 1;
    for(n = 1; n <= y; n++)
    {
        fat = fat * n;
    }
    return fat;
}

float cosx(float x)
{
    int i=1, a = 2, b, c = 1, e;
    float cos;
    while(i < 20)
    {
        b = c * (pow(x,a)) / e;
        cos = 1 - b;
        a += 2;
        e = fat(a);
        c *= -1;
        i++;
    }
    return cos;
}

If I input 0 it returns -2147483648.000000, which is clearly wrong.

A: First error is uninitialized variable x1, and right after that you have use:
int x1; // <<< uninitiated variable;
**x1 = x1 * 3.14159 / 180;** `transforms the value to radians

this will produce random value, you should put
int x = 0; // or some other value of your choice

In my opinion you should move x1 = x1 * 3.14159/100; after scanf("%d", x1).
Than again uninitiated value e before use.
int i=1, a = 2, b, c = 1, e;
...
b = c * (pow(x,a)) / e;
...

than you have in the line b = c * pow(x,a) where you go out of range of int variable potentially. If e = 1, x = 2 and a > 31 you are out of range for b. Another problem is pow(x,a) is rising much faster than `e. thus you get bigger and bigger values thus you are getting another overflow. And here is the code that works:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

long double fact(int);
long double cosx(double);
long double my_pow (double b, int e);

int main()
{
    double x1 = 45.00;
    printf("Insert number:\n");
    scanf("%lf", &x1);
    x1 = x1 * 3.14159 / 180; // ** `transforms the value to radians`

    printf("Cosine of %f = %.10LF", x1, cosx(x1));
    return 0;
}

long double fact(int y)
{
    int n;
    double fact = 1;
    for(n = 1; n <= y; n++)
    {
        fact *= n;
    }
    return fact;
}

long double cosx(double x)
{
    int a = 2, c = -1;
    long i = 0, lim = 500;
    long double cos = 1;
    long double b = 0, e = 0;
    while(i < lim) {
        e = fact(a);
        b = c * my_pow(x,a);
        cos += b/e;
//      printf ("%le %le %le\n", e, b, cos);
        a += 2;
        c *= -1;
        i++;
    }

    return cos;
}

long double my_pow (double b, int e) {
    long double pow = 1;
    for (;e > 0; --e, pow *= b)
        ;
    return pow;
}

US filmmaker Michael Moore arrives at the IFC Theater before attending the debut of a surprise documentary about Republican nominee Donald Trump titled "TrumpLand"
Michael Moore's new documentary, Michael Moore in TrumpLand, is winning over a surprising online fanbase: Trump supporters.
Michael Moore in TrumpLand is not a rollicking invasion of Trump country, as the title suggests. Even though the movie was filmed in Republican-leaning Wilmington Ohio, it's decidedly not a Roger & Me-style reportorial tour de force of exposing wrongdoing. Moore doesn't actually venture out into "TrumpLand" at all, instead filming the entire thing on a stage inside a Wilmington theater.
Here's what TrumpLand really is: a quiet, personal and sympathetic plea to vote for Hillary Clinton, aimed at people who don't like her. The film's viral success on conservative websites means it's doing a pretty good job (even if the message on those sites is truncated). In typical Michael Moore-fashion, the filmmaker is trying to reach the autoworkers, laid-off manufacturing employees, and the rest of the disenfranchised middle class with a message about why the former first lady is the country's best choice for president.
But while he'd probably be happy to sway a few Trump voters, residents of TrumpLand aren't the target audience. The movie primarily takes aim at the Bernie-or-bust and Jill Stein contingents.
Moore's attempts to persuade revolve around not how terrible Trump is, but about how much he admires Hillary Clinton. Speaking against a backdrop of black-and-white photos of the young candidate, he talks about her campaigns for women's rights and her work on expanding access to health care, among other liberal projects.
Prompting someone else to yell, "We're in New York, it doesn't matter who we vote for!" something that's hard to argue with during a presidential race in the deep-blue city.
Even if Moore convinced every member of the Manhattan audience to vote Clinton, it wouldn't tip any scales. TrumpLand's raison d'etre, however, is that the same can't be said for the residents of Wilmington in the swing state of Ohio.

Manasseh Writes: Three Lessons the Ayew Brothers Have Taught Us
Comments ( 10 ) Email Print
The Ayew Brothers with their father
It is said that when people speak ill of you, live your life in such a way that nobody will believe them. This is the biggest lesson the Ayew Brothers have taught Ghanaians in their exploits in Ghana's football. A lot of people spoke ill of both of them when they were given the opportunity to play in Ghana's national team, the Black Stars. But they persevered, and their haters have turned lovers.
When Andre Dede Ayew first earned a call-up to the national team in 2008, many people criticised the decision to include him. The criticism went beyond the notion that he was not good enough. Some people said the only reason he was in the team was his father's undue influence.
His father, Abedi Ayew Pele, and uncle, Kwame Ayew, had played for the Black Stars in the past. In fact, Abedi Pele is Ghana's greatest football player of all time. In 2009, Andre Ayew led the under-20 side to conquer Africa and the world in the FIFA Under 20 World Championship in Egypt. His sterling performances ever since have silenced his critics, but when Jordan earned his call-up, the fire of criticism was once again stoked.
When Ghana played their first game against Uganda in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Gabon, Jordan Ayew's performance again came under serious scrutiny. Some football pundits suggested that he should be axed from the team. When Ghana played against Mali, Jordan put up a brilliant performance. His cross was what Captain Asamoah Gyan headed to score the only goal of the match.
Yesterday, his splendid goal opened the scoreline in the quarter final match against DR Congo. His brother, Andre Dede Ayew, netted a well-taken spot kick to earn Ghana a place in the semi-finals of the competition. The Ayews have since been trending.
Apart from excelling to prove one's critics wrong, the second lesson the Ayews have taught us is to judge people on their own merit. We are often too quick to associate people with others and judge them as such. Jordan and Dede are different from their father.
The third lesson is to focus on competence instead of where someone comes from. Recently, when ministers were about to be selected, some people put so much premium on ethnic and regional considerations and ignored the competencies of the people who were being selected to serve. There are 11 players on the field at a particular point in time. And Ghana has close to 30 million people. We have two players from the same family. Is this fair? Yes! When it mattered most, the two brought joy to the entire nation.
It will help us, as a nation, if at every point in time, we put our best talents forward instead of looking at where they come from, who they are related to, and which political colours they wear. The Black Stars are making us happy. We never ask about their ethnicity and which political party they belong. What matters is that they work as a team. And we must work as a team. Team Ghana!

Q: how to parse a string of comma-separated values into a list of strings in haskell? so if I have a string "(this, is, a, story, all, about, how)" into a list of the words inside it ["this", "is", "a", "story", "all", "about", "how"] as an instance of ReadP String? I've tried a bunch of different ways, one of which being this:
parseStr :: ReadP String
parseStr = do
  skipSpaces
  n <- munch1 isAlphaOrDigit
  skipComma
  return $ n

which parses all values but the last. I thought if I combined it with this parse:
parseLast :: ReadP String
parseLast = do
  skipSpaces
  n <- munch1 isAlphaOrDigit
  return $ n

as
parseLet = (many parseStr) +++ parseLast

but that didn't work either. Any tips?
edit: more definitions
isAlphaOrDigit :: Char -> Bool
isAlphaOrDigit a = (isDigit a) || (isAlpha a)
comma = satisfy (','==)
skipComma = const () <$> some comma

A: The parser a +++ b sends the entire input string to a and the entire input string to b, producing all the results that either parser produced. You instead want a parser that sends the first part of the string to a and the second part to b, then lets you combine the results. Try this instead:
parseLet = liftA2 (\ss s -> ss ++ [s]) (many parseStr) parseLast

Many parser libraries also offer a manySepBy combinator (perhaps with a slightly different name) for this exact use case; you might consider looking through the ReadP library for such a thing.

What's Up in Ave Maria: Mr. Novak goes to Washington — for a while
June 01, 2016 / Michael Novak
By Patricia Sette, Citizen Contributor, in the Naples Daily News on May 25, 2016
Former U.S. Ambassador Michael Novak, center, and graduate Angela Winkles, right, gather after Ave Maria University's 2015 commencement ceremony at the Tom Golisano Fieldhouse on campus in this file photo from May 9, 2015, in Ave Maria. Tom Greenfield/Citizen Correspondent
One of the attractions of a university town is the fact that accomplished, even illustrious people, reside in it, and ever since he moved here in 2010, Michael Novak has been among the most distinguished.
A philosopher, teacher, theologian and diplomat, Novak has been a valued friend to the town and a loyal supporter of Ave Maria University (AMU) where he has taught a number of courses. However, this coming autumn, Novak, 82, will be residing instead in Washington, D.C., teaching at Catholic University of America (CUA), although he says he plans to return this January to his home in Ave Maria.
Novak will be helping to launch a course at CUA which he says the university is calling "human ecology." He and his students will explore such questions as, "What are the stories that guide our lives? Who are the heroes? And how is that changing in today's world?"
Novak, who was interviewed recently by The Ave Herald, the news site of Ave Maria, says he will teach one class a week at CUA, "to baptize the idea" of the course and noted some of the issues he plans to explore with his students. "The 20th century was exhausting, fighting dictatorships and economic ideas like socialism. But we ignored the social and the cultural. If we lose those, we lose everything."
Few have written so much on so many diverse topics as Novak, the author of more than 45 books. His works bear such varied titles as "The Fire of Invention," "Choosing Presidents," "No One Sees God" and "The Joy of Sports," the latter being named one of Sports Illustrated's "Top 100 Sports Books of All Time." Currently, Novak, a native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, hopes to finish a novel this summer which centers on the historic 1898 flooding of that town, which claimed the lives of 2,209 people.
The contributions Novak has made to life in Ave Maria and to AMU go far beyond the luster his presence adds to them. In addition to enriching the intellectual life at the university with the courses he's taught there, he has given, though his own private initiatives, awards and recognition to outstanding AMU teachers, including Timothy McDonnell, Michael Raiger, Blanford Parker, Travis Curtright, Andrew Dinan, Seana Sugrue and Catherine Pakaluk.
And thanks in large part to a substantial seed grant he provided, students at the Rhodora J. Donahue Academy, the Catholic K-12 in Ave Maria, now have the spacious Karen Laub-Novak library, named for his beloved wife, an accomplished artist who died in August 2009.
Novak was also the first member of AMU's board of trustees, personally invited to that position by the university's founder, Tom Monaghan. Subsequent to Novak's resignation as a full board member, he continued to attend meetings as an emeritus trustee, a position he relinquished last summer, which colleagues say he was asked to do after suggesting the AMU board and administration conduct a survey of faculty to learn their concerns.
Some residents here, while happy at Novak's expressed delight at both being in the nation's capital during an election year and launching a program at CUA, are at the same time a little worried whether he'll actually return to Ave Maria.
But not me. After all, in August 2013, Novak told The Ave Herald, published by my husband and me, "As long as I live and as long as I have energy, I'll be coming back to Ave Maria." So Michael, we have it in writing from you. Have a great time in Washington, D.C., and we'll see you back in Ave Maria in January.
More news and information about Ave Maria can be found in The Ave Herald which Patricia publishes along with her husband, David Shnaider.

I was honored to attend another State of the Union address this week. I was pleased to see that President Trump was finally allowed to give the address and I was even more pleased with what he had to say.
