Five Families That Were Devastated By Pandemic But Became Self-Reliant Through Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation
By Sewa Nyaya Utthan
The Coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdowns have been devastating for many families. They have taken away lives and livelihoods. Those who lived their lives with hard work and dignity turned jobless and needy overnight.
At the peak of the pandemic, one of our founders Swati Goel Sharma had decided to help rehabilitate as many families as we could when life resumed to normal again.
Many many families will need to be rehabilitated. Let's save up.
— Swati Goel Sharma (@swati_gs) April 19, 2021
We are very much working on that mission.
Here are five families that Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation has rehabilitated over the past few months.
Jasveer Singh
Jasveer Singh from Delhi's Mangolpuri had a small business of filling quilts. His business was meandering along. Jasveer has a daughter, who studies in Class 10, apart from three sons. He earned just about enough to fund his daughter's studies and sustain the family.
However, he would soon be driven to the verge of disaster. The advent of trendy blankets pushed quilts more and more towards extinction and Jasveer's business started floundering. He was already copping losses when the lockdown imposed in March last year sounded a death knell.
Jasveer suddenly found himself neck-deep in a sea of debt with the shore nowhere to be seen. He had no option but to sell all he had.
Jasveer's lower-middle-class family used to stay in a small rented apartment. With no work in hand, Jasveer could not figure out how he would be able to pay his house rent. Soon, he and his family would be thrown out to the streets, Jasveer feared.
Jasveer was desperate to find an alternative source of income and decided to drive a rented e-rickshaw. He had just begun to set his life back in order when the second wave of Covid struck and totally put paid to Jasveer's hopes of a turnaround. The e-rickshaw could not fetch any money and Jasveer could not pay the owners their everyday share. As a result, soon the owners took the vehicle back.
Devastated, Jasveer approached us. He sought our help to buy an e-rickshaw. Owing a vehicle would mean that he would not have to worry about paying rent and being hounded by owners if he failed to do so.
Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation was only too happy to help. On July 7, we were able to give Jasveer the battery-run rickshaw that he so badly needed. The battery-run rickshaw cost Rs 1.3 lakh. Jasveer got a huge lifeline.
He shared his happiness with our team member, Vishal Gautam, who personally oversaw paperwork to get him a licence from the transport department as well as the process of purchasing the vehicle. "While I was returning home in my new e-rickshaw, my family members waited outside. They were extremely happy. It feels like someone has fed a morsel to the hungry."
Inspired by our selfless service, Jasveer has promised to give free sewa to at least one needy commuter every day. He says he would carry forward this 'sewa-bhava' (service-mindedness) and help people in need. His struggles have evidently been an eye-opener for him and he now wants to ensure that nobody has to endure the kind of ordeal that he has.
We at Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation always try to ensure that an individual gets the help he needs and becomes self-sufficient too. We wish Jasveer luck and pray to God for his success.
Watch Jasveer's happiness below:

2. Durga Rani
Durga Rani from Delhi, a woman in her twenties, cannot walk without crutches. However, she still is possibly the most enthusiastic person we have ever met.
Durga used to make LED bulbs for a living along with her brothers Sachin and Ravi in Shiv Vihar area. Her mother is a housewife, while her father died years ago.
The family made bulbs and sold them at nearby stores. Incredibly, even though Durga had a handicap and could not talk, she used to join her brothers in distribution of the bulbs. She always wanted to go out for work.
Her life was pretty uneventful, but then disaster struck. Both her brothers passed away within a few months of each other. While Sachin died in an accident, Ravi could not bear the loss of his brother and passed away too. Durga's brothers were like an umbrella for the family, especially after the death of their father. Now, that umbrella was no longer there, snatched away by cruel fate.
Durga was shattered and all alone to fend for herself and look after her mother.
One of our volunteers, Kartikeya, learnt about her plight from a Facebook post and reached the family earlier this year (2021).
We decided to build an earning source for them. We gifted Durga a grocery kiosk in front of her house. The kiosk was built a little bigger than usual so that Durga could fit into it easily along with her wheelchair. We got it fully stocked. Before opening it for the public, Durga requested for a havan ceremony. We arranged that for her as well.
When riots broke out in Shiv Vihar last year, mobs damaged Durga's wheelchair. She was perhaps saved by the grace of Goddess Durga. Shiv Vihar, one of the epicentres of the Delhi riots, saw many families being affected. People were killed, assaulted and their shops were vandalised.
After our help, Durga has been able to get back to earning a living. Kartikeya, who passes by her shop almost every day, finds Durga sitting in her wheelchair and waving happily.
Watch her happiness here:

3. Rinku Devi
Rinku Devi is a resident of Saharsa District in Bihar. She lost her husband seven years ago to Tuberculosis. Since then, she has lived a life of struggle and poverty.
She was left alone to look after her three children – two boys and a girl. Though she tried to cut corners and raise her children well, a lack of regular income affected her plans severely. Her children had to drop out of school.
Her fellow villagers, who had been helping her in some way or the other, approached various social organizations. One of such local organisations run by one Manish Gupta, approached Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation for financial support for Rinku Devi.
On our behalf, Manish met her and saw the condition of her family. He noticed that Rinku Devi's husband had a grocery shop. After his death, it had been lying vacant. Manish suggested that we revive the shop. We immediately agreed.
The post-lockdown life has been difficult for all of us, but Rinku Devi was among the worst-affected. She tried to run the grocery shop somehow with a limited stock. However, the income was just not enough to sustain the family. Lockdowns continued, and no respite was in sight for her.
With financial support from us, Manish Gupta has now stocked her shop well. In fact, it is among the most well-stocked shop in the area now.
After her vacant shop got refilled, Rinku Devi thanked us profusely. She said she was glad that we did not merely help her with funds for a month or two, but made her self-reliant. She says she can now look after her children well, and live her life with dignity.
Watch the video below to see her happiness and relief:

4. Amit Sharma
Amit Sharma is a 'divyang', a term popularised by prime minister Narendra Modi for physically challenged people. A resident of Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh, he is associated with the state's physically challenged sports association.
Early this year (2021), Amit decided to start a dhaba in Meerut. This was a unique initiative for the fact that the entire staff comprised of divyang people. They named it 'Pandit Ji Kitchen'.
The venture was covered widely in the local media and received appreciation from various quarters.
The kitchen sold meals at an economical rate to school and college students, living in hostels nearby. The area has a number of private educational institutes.
Much to Amit's disappointment, the second wave of Coronavirus hit the country and a lockdown came into effect in the state in April. Schools and colleges remained closed as did commercial establishments like malls and markets. Students returned to their homes. Hardly anyone was seen on the streets.
The kitchen, unfortunately, never picked up the way Amit had hoped it would. Nobody foresaw the second wave, after all.
Amit approached Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation for help. He wasn't sure what kind of help he needed. After some conversations, we decided that we would adopt the kitchen as long as the lockdown was in place.
Amit said he was selling about 40 thalis everyday when the situation was normal. We decided to buy the same amount of thalis from him every day. Amit had an additional task though – to distribute the thalis for free to the needy, particularly daily wagers who were out of work during the lockdown.
This way, the dhaba kept running and no staff member lost his or her job. Teamwork!
We have not stopped this support even after the lockdown was lifted in June. We would be supporting Amit till the end of this year.

5. Santosh Kumar
Santosh Kumar Maurya lives in Gopalpur village of Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh. He is 50 percent handicapped. Both his legs have a problem. He cannot walk without support.
The struggle of living with such handicap was aggravated by the burden of responsibilities at a very young age. He had to quit his studies early. The family owns a patch of land in the village, but say they cannot use it for farming because of water problems.
Santosh is the only child of his parents. He left his village and moved to a town. Some years ago, he began working at an internet cafe. He earned about Rs 2,000 a month. With this trivial amount, he could barely survive. He is now married and has a kid, but the income has not moved up much.
The recent spate of lockdowns left him completely broke. He lost his job. He struggled to meet his family requirements. He was no more able to help his parents who, too, were solely dependent on him. He took a loan to survive, but that burdened him even more.
Our team happened to meet Santosh. When he learnt about us, he asked us for help. He said he wanted to buy a laptop and a printer to start an internet service shop.
We paid him the amount he had asked for, and some more. Soon, he bought the laptop and the printer. He also bought a small stock of mobile accessories to keep at his shop.
A week ago, he opened his shop. He has named it 'Siva Maurya Online Seva Kendra'.
Watch his happiness here:
Santosh Kumar is handicapped. He lost his job during lockdown. He wanted to start an internet cafe in his town in Mirzapur, UP, but was short of money to buy laptop and printer
We helped him with the required amount. His cafe is now open
We wish Santosh the best pic.twitter.com/O2S5MD0YHV
This is only the beginning. We are committed to rehabilitating many more families, particularly the ones from weak and marginalised sections.
Support us to make our sewa work reach every individual in need. Thanks to all of our Sahyogis who have stood by us even in the tough Covid times.

Motorola Talkabout T460 Review
Motorola is a reputable brand that produces durable and feature-packed two-way radios for all consumer types. One of their popular and affordable ones is the Motorola Talkabout T460 22-channel Handheld Two-Way Radio, which we're going to discuss in this review.
Click Here For Best Price
Now, what makes the Motorola Talkabout T460 worth talking about? Aside from the myriad of features in this lightweight device, the Motorola T460 is also weather-proof. Not all two-way radios in the market have the same characteristic, placing the T460 a step above the ladder. The device also has 22 channels, a 35-mile range, weather alerts, emergency call, and versatile charging options. Although it may not be the most advanced model out there, the rugged design and functionality of the Motorola Talkabout T460 are perfect for campers, mountaineers, skiers, fishermen, and anyone fond of the outdoors.
This Motorola Talkabout T460 review serves as a guide to the package inclusions, features, and the pros and cons of purchasing the said two-way radio model.
What's in the Box:
When you buy a pair of these radios, here's what you'll get in the box:
2 Motorola T460 two-way radios
2 NiMH rechargeable batteries
2 Micro-USB wall charging cables
2 Belt clip
Accessory brochure
The rugged design of the Motorola Talkabout T460 instantly gives off the impression that it's made for tough use. Even though it's lightweight at 0.43 lbs. (with the battery), it has a durable casing that has a nice grip on it. The antenna on the Motorola Talkabout T460 is fixed, mostly because this device is weather-proof.
A backlit LCD screen makes it easy to read in low-light conditions, extremely useful for your evening trips. However, it's worth noting that the display screen has icons on it that refer to particular functions. You may want to take some time to familiarize yourself with the manual to fully understand what the icons stand for.
Buttons on the device can be easily pressed even when you're wearing gloves. Some outdoor activities may require you to wear gloves, and Motorola did not miss that detail. They made sure that the T460 can still be effortlessly operated in such situations.
Range and Channels
Advertised to have a 35-mile range, this is only true if the two-way radio is used in optimum conditions with an unobstructed line of sight. In fact, all two-way radios are like this, but it can't be helped if you're in unpredictable terrain with hills, thick forests, or highly urbanized areas. Nevertheless, the Motorola Talkabout T460 transmits clear audio at about 3-4 miles on a hike or in town.
The Motorola Talkabout T460 has 22 channels with 121 privacy codes for each, totaling to 2662 channels. It has 7 FRS channels, 8 GMRS channels, and 7 shared FRS/GMRS.
One of the highlights in this Motorola Talkabout T460 review is the battery. There are two ways to power this device: with the included NiMH rechargeable battery packs, or with 3 AA batteries. Pretty much like other two-way radios such as the Midland GXT1050VP4, this dual power option comes in handy when you need extra battery life in the wild. The NiMH batteries can last for 10 hours of use, which may or may not be enough for some users. Bringing along extra AA batteries will help when you run out, as the Motorola Talkabout T460 can run for a good 26 hours with AA batteries.
Charging options for the T460 is also versatile. Instead of the usual dock chargers that come with other models such as the Motorola Talkabout MR350R, the T460 comes with micro-USB cables. As such, these two-way radios can be charged from your PC or laptop so, eliminating the need to find a separate outlet.
Quiet Talk Filter
To make the audio crisp and clear, Motorola has a Quiet Talk filter that essentially filters out interference that may come from non-Motorola units. As such, you won't be troubled by static and interference that hinders clear communication.
Weather Channels and Weather Alerts
With the Motorola Talkabout T460, you can listen to 11 different weather channels including 7 NOAA frequencies. Weather channels and alerts are important as they can prepare you for any hazards coming your way. Especially if you're in mountains or forests where you won't be able to watch the news, weather alerts would immediately notify you if there's danger in the weather.
Indeed, having a source of light during evening camps or nighttime excursions is especially helpful. Although the flashlight in the T460 is not as bright as a regular flashlight, it's still enough to give you some sort of illumination in the dark. Plus, you can free up your other hand from carrying a separate flashlight.
Hands-free functionality has become a staple with decent two-way radios. The Motorola Talkabout T460 is equipped with VOX so you can still operate the device even without pressing buttons. Bikers, motorcycle riders, off-roaders, and other outdoor enthusiasts will benefit from the hands-free operation. The downside is, you have to buy a separate earpiece because it's not included in the box.
When you're outdoors in unpredictable conditions, having a two-way radio in hand is essential for emergency communication. Use the T460's emergency call feature to easily send a distress signal in case of emergencies.
As mentioned earlier, the said device is weatherproof. It has an IP-54 rating, which means you can use it in moderate rainfall and snow, but not water submersion. If you're looking for something waterproof, the Cobra CXT 1035R FLT is a great choice.
Versatile charging options
Built-in flashlight
Weather channels and alerts
Hands-free operation
Some users say it's quiet for a two-way radio
Lacks some accessories in the package like an earpiece
Motorola Talkabout T460 Review Conclusion
Rugged, reliable, and durable, the Motorola Talkabout T460 is an amazing choice for a two-way radio. It provides a practical feature set with 22 channels, 35-mile range, weather alerts, flashlight, hands-free operation, and more. Overall, a great beginner-friendly choice for outdoors enthusiasts.

Scott Eisen/Getty ImagesIf she runs, Sen. Elizabeth Warren would be a front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The enthusiasm behind Democratic women running for office could help launch a female candidate to the top of the party's ticket in 2020.
The potential contenders include progressive firebrands like Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris and moderates like Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo.
Democratic women are running for office – and winning – in unprecedented numbers this year.
And the enthusiasm behind women candidates could help launch a female candidate to the top of the Democratic ticket in 2020.
They're being fuelled by women voters, particularly college-educated women, who are leading a national backlash against President Donald Trump, spurred in part by the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and harassment.
And some pollsters say there's evidence that female candidates in Democratic primaries are benefiting from an intense desire among Democratic voters to elect women.
"2018 might be remembered as the 'Year of the Angry College-Educated Female,'" he wrote.
The former law professor would likely be the Democratic frontrunner should she launch a 2020 bid. She's a national leader of the progressive left-wing of the party with a strong fundraising operation – and she'll likely win reelection to the Senate this fall in a landslide.
During a September event in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Warren gave her clearest indication yet that she'll run in 2020.
"It's time for women to go to Washington and fix our broken government and that includes a woman at the top. So here's what I promise: after November 6, I will take a hard look at running for president," she said to an extended standing ovation.
But the senator must also contend with what her constituents want her to do. Recent polling in Warren's home state found that a majority of Massachusetts voters don't want her to run for the presidency, despite approving of her work in the Senate.
The freshman California senator – the second black woman ever elected to the US Senate -has gained notoriety since she was elected in 2016 as a tough opponent of the Trump administration. Clips of her grilling Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, have helped her build a national following.
But while Harris has embraced the party's leftward shift on issues like single-payer healthcare and reforming the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency, the former California attorney general is is viewed as too cosy with the establishment for some on the left.
The former centrist congresswoman from upstate New York was appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate in 2009 and has since been reelected by wide margins on a deeply progressive platform.
Gillibrand has consistently been one of the first national Democrats to sign on to populist progressive policies like a federal jobs guarantee, Medicare-for-all, and abolishing ICE.
A longtime champion of victims of sexual assault and harassment, Gillibrand made headlines last year when she led the charge in pressuring Sen. Al Franken, the Minnesota Democrat accused by multiple women of groping and other sexual misconduct, to retire from the Senate. She has since become one of Washington's most influential advocates for the #MeToo movement.
While Gillibrand is one of the party's strongest fundraisers, her ideological evolution from a more conservative congresswomen to the most liberal senator in Washington could hurt her in a presidential race.
The Minnesota lawmaker is known for being progressive but practical – and a bit more moderate than other potential 2020 contenders. She's also less nationally known than other potential 2020 candidates, but she's very popular in her home state.
As Vox pointed out recently, Klobuchar has a 60% approval rating in a state Clinton won by just two points in 2016, giving her the largest margin between her approval rating and the partisan lean of the state of any US senator.
Klobuchar has proven that she can appeal to white working-class voters without compromising much on progressive policy goals – something many Democrats will see as a strength in challenging Trump.
The former Georgia House Minority Leader is now running to become the country's first-ever black female governor.
While her government experience is limited to Georgia state politics, Abrams has already developed national name-recognition and a powerful grassroots fundraising network. She has also received high-profile support from 2020 potentials, including Gillibrand, Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, and former Vice President Joe Biden, and the senators are all planning to travel south to campaign with her this fall.
If the 44-year-old progressive Democrat beats her right-wing Republican opponent in the gubernatorial race, she will have proven that she can beat a Trumpian candidate and expand the Democratic electorate – and could be presidential (or perhaps more likely vice presidential) material.
Raimondo – one of only six female governors in the country – is best known for her business-focused governance and championing of regulatory and tax reform, job creation, and worker re-training in her small blue state.
The Rhodes scholar, with an economics degree from Harvard and law degree from Yale, made a name for herself in the finance industry, founding Rhode Island's first venture-capital firm.
While her single-minded focus on the economy has put her somewhat at odds with the leftward moving Democratic base, her appeal among white blue-collar and business-minded moderate voters could make her an attractive pick for 2020.
The much-beloved media mogul got many Democrats' – and even Republicans' – hopes up earlier this year when she delivered a powerful Golden Globes speech, weaving stories of racial and gender injustice into a hopeful, forward-looking narrative that many thought read like a political stump speech.
While Winfrey said last January that she hadn't yet considered the possibility of a presidential bid, she didn't completely rule it out (although she said in July a bid "would kill" her).
It's unclear exactly what Winfrey's politics are, but she was a strong supporter of Barack Obama's presidential campaigns and endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Winfrey's overwhelming popularity, celebrity status, and history-making potential would undoubtedly make her a formidable alternative to Trump.

Clinch Mountain Backstep
The song of the week is 'Clinch Mountain Backstep' in the key of A.
'Clinch Mountain Backstep' is a bluegrass banjo tune composed by Ralph Stanley (Feb. 25, 1927 - June 23, 2016), who until his recent passing, was the last surviving of the great first-generation pioneers of bluegrass banjo playing.
(Ralph Stanley is the only first-generation bluegrass artist that I have met in person; I met him twice: once at a concert in a school gymnasium in Sedro Woolley, Washington when I was about 15 or 16 - after his concert, I played our current song of the week in his presence on a banjo he had with him for sale - and then again he spoke with me in 2004, during breakfast at the hotel that both of us were staying at for the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Our conversation started by way of Ralph asking me questions about some of the other bands and artists playing at the Festival.)
There is a good documentary on Ralph Stanley available on youtube that is well-worth watching:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHinziS4O4g
Ralph says that he came up with 'Clinch Mountain Backstep' by combining 'Cluck Old Hen' with 'Liza Jane'.
Here is my favorite of Ralph's studio recordings of Clinch Mountain Backstep:
Ralph Stanley - key of A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcDtNcbcJ2Q
...and, when he was a bit younger, when his older brother Carter was still alive, here is Ralph playing Clinch Mountain Backstep on a live TV show:
The Stanley Brothers - key of A (no breaks on any other instruments, all banjo).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur7cXcU5Nlk
There are no mandolin, guitar, or dobro breaks in the preceding renditions of the tune. Here is one which has all three:
Blue Highway - key of A: live performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTEF5keaPhk
The chord progression for the A-Part is:
The chord progression for the B-Part is the same, except that there is an extra 'half-measure' of the '1' before the first '5'. If one is counting the beats in the first line of the B-Part in cut common time (2/2), one would count it as: 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,1,2.
(On the sheet music attached here, I have written the first line of the B-Part as 3 measures in 2/2, followed by a measure in which the time signature changes to 1/2, followed by a measure that returns to 2/2.)
Melody & Key
Although the melody of Clinch Mountain Backstep consists only of the notes of the Am pentatonic scale, it is called at jams in A (Major) rather than Am because the '1' chord that is used in the chord progression for the song is an A Major Chord rather than an Am Chord ('1m'). To call Clinch Mountain Backstep in A Minor instead of in A (Major) at a jam would imply that 1m Chords are to be played in place of 1 Chords.
In the attached melody sheet for Clinch Mountain Backstep, I have used the key signature for Am (no sharps or flats, same as the key signature for C Major, the Relative Major of Am) instead of the key signature for A Major (3 sharps) to avoid the need to write natural signs in nearly every measure. I hope that my doing this makes the sheet music easier to read than if I had used the key signature for A Major.
The notes that make up the Minor Pentatonic Scale, or as I like to call it sometimes 'The Clinch Mountain Scale', are: 1, b3, 4, 5, and b7. Remember these notes, for these will be useful to know not only for playing 'Mountain Minor' tunes like 'Clinch Mountain Backstep' and 'Cluck Old Hen'. Any time when you wish to add a 'bluesy' element into a break or backup part for a Major key song, just remember to play your 'Clinch Mountain notes'.
To see what these notes are for A (or for any other key for that matter: G is an especially practical place to start for this if you are a banjo or guitar player who usually plays in A by way of capoing the 2nd fret of your instrument), refer to the Nashville Number System Chart in the attachments.
For more on the Am and Gm pentatonic scales, refer back to the song of the week write-up for 'Cluck Old Hen'. The first five paragraphs under the section 'Melody & Breaks' may be read as though written about Clinch Mountain Backstep instead of Cluck Old Hen.

Relative Majors & Minors
If you have ever played the melody for Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Amazing Grace, My Home's Across The Blue Ridge Mountains, Shortnin' Bread, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, or Camptown Races, or any other melody that uses only 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 notes (Major Pentatonic Scale), then you are already familiar to a certain extent with the combination of notes that make up the 'Clinch Mountain Scale', although those melodies sound very different than the melodies for Clinch Mountain Backstep and Cluck Old Hen.
Notice, for instance, that 1, b3, 4, 5, b7 for E (E,G,A,B,D) are the very same notes as 6, 1, 2, 3, 5 for G. G is the Relative Major of Em.
Every Minor has a Relative Major. To find the Relative Major of a Minor, treat the b3 of the Minor as the 1 for the Major. (Thus, C is the Relative Major of Am - one uses the same notes for playing the melody of Will The Circle Be Unbroken in C as one does for playing the melody of Clinch Mountain Backstep in A; Bb is the Relative Major of Gm, etc.)
Going in the opposite direction, that is, to find the Relative Minor of a Major, treat the 6 of the Major as the 1 for the Minor. (So, Am is the Relative Minor of C, Em is the Relative Minor of G.)
Happy Pickin',

Sarah and Zoey by Linda Watkins is a tragic yet heartfelt novella about Sarah, a mother and wife who has everything. A happy life, the perfect job, a beautiful home. And then there's Mindy Sue whose life is much less than fulfilling. She suffers a loveless life of abuse, infidelity, and cruelty. And then…there is Zoey. An abused dog who restores each of their lives in a different way and brings the two together to build a beautiful relationship and an unbreakable bond.
Linda Watkins has done it again! I absolutely loved this story! Sarah and Zoey is a pleasing tale that will warm even the coldest of hearts. I read the entire story from start to finish, literally not able to put it down. I especially enjoyed the bond each woman had to Zoey. Because of the love and faithfulness of this dog, two women were able to heal and learn how to live and love again. If you are looking for a short read to warm your heart, Sarah and Zoey is the book for you. Make sure you have a box of tissues close at hand. Thanks again to Linda for an exceptional story.
Thanks so much for the beautiful review. So glad you enjoyed my story!

It is no exaggeration to say that Citadel 2017 is a true cornucopia of everything everyone wants to do. Well maybe just a small one.
This Sunday, 16/07 in East London's Victoria Park, Citadel festival is set to offer the current crop of the latest and greatest of live music, dining and drinking, arts and ideas, wellbeing and even workouts (for those so inclined), all for our entertainment. We're set to join the fun and festivities so here's a rundown of what we're especially looking forward to checking out.
Citadel are evidently pretty stoked about securing Foals as UK festival exclusive headliners and, if the band's previous near-trademark barnstorming live performances are anything to go by, they're more than qualified to shout from the rooftops about it. The band are said to be looking forward to performing, "old songs and rarities" so one can expect the math rock joy of dancefloor filler 'Cassius', the mosh pit-inducing riffs of 'Inhaler', and everything in between. Knowing his keen sense of adventure whilst on stage, frontman Yannis Phillippakis will probably attempt to scale the stage at some point too, as you do when you're the voice and face of one of the best live music outfits this country has to offer and the world has to witness. It's been a couple of years since last LP What Went Down so we might even be treated to a few new numbers.
Excitement levels for support headliner Bonobo are on a par with that of Foals. Being the producer's only live show in London, it is the capital's chance to lose themselves in the gorgeous Migration, his most recent LP that proved a hit on the charts (it peaked at #5 in the UK). Being a live show, one can expect a few added elements to supplement favourites such as 'Kerala' and the African-infused 'Bambro Koyo Ganda'. Cold cider in one hand, Patty & Bun burger in the other, watching the sun set to Bonobo's sweet, soulful chilled beats. What more do you want?
Ignore the other four stages at your peril, though. With second album Emerging Adulthood out next Friday, indie rocker Dan Croll is guaranteed to put on a razor sharp set. You'll know 'From Nowhere' but that's not the only hit that will get the crowd moving, so be sure to strap your dancing shoes tight.
Take things down a notch with the sultry, moody Stevie Parker. Sure, the lyrical content of recently released album The Cure – heartbreak, indifference, hunting down your ex's new lover with an axe – might not be your typical sunny Sunday afternoon fare but her icy vocals and mellow vibes will be sure to send chills down your spine and straight into your heart.
If you don't see an acoustic guitar-based band at an indie festival, did you even go? Tick the mandatory checkbox with A Blaze Of Feather, a much-hyped secretive band of six, featuring king of the acoustic Ben Howard. Though be warned: a simple affair of each band member strumming along with six strings this is not. Whilst "exquisite" is the word that comes to mind when describing much of the project's output, film/single 'Winter' is utterly gargantuan in scale. It'll be the emotive, pained Ben Howard-centred acoustic music you know, and then some. See you there.

Who is Wisconsin's Best April-Born Player?
Friend of the site and baseball historian Chris Jensen has the fourth of a 12-part series on players born in Wisconsin.
By Nicole Haase Apr 11, 2013, 12:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Who is Wisconsin's Best April-Born Player?
EDITOR'S NOTE: Frequent BCB readers may recall that a few months ago I reviewed one of my favorite new baseball books, Chris Jensen's Baseball State by State. After reading the book I've asked Chris to join us for a 12-part series in 2013 on the best players born in Wisconsin. What follows is part four of that series. - KL
Addie Joss, who was one of the greatest pitchers of the Deadball Era, is Wisconsin's best April-born player. Joss, who was born April 12, 1880, in Woodland, strung together one of the greatest nine-year stretches of pitching in the history of baseball. He won 160 games, 45 by shutout, and posted four consecutive 20-win seasons for the Cleveland Naps between 1902 and 1910. He threw two no-hitters including the second perfect game in American League history when he outdueled Ed Walsh and the White Sox on October 2, 1908, in the middle of a pennant race.
Nicknamed "The Human Hairpin" for his lanky build, Joss burst onto the scene in 1902, pitching a one-hitter during his debut on April 26 on the way to 17 wins and an American League high with 5 shutouts his rookie year. He would go on to win two ERA titles and allowed only 1,888 hits in 2,327 career innings, relying on a deceptive corkscrew delivery that befuddled batters. His 0.968 career WHIP is the best in major league history and his 1.89 career ERA trails only Ed Walsh on the all-time list.
Although he had been struggling with fatigue throughout 1909 and into the 1910 season, Joss managed to throw a no-hitter on April 20, 1910. It would be his last great pitching feat. He would later suffer an elbow injury that cut short his season, and he continued to experience health problems the next spring including a time where he fainted on the field. Joss had his brilliant career cut tragically short when he died of tubercular meningitis two days after his 31 st birthday in 1911, news that shocked the baseball world. "In Joss's death, baseball loses one of the best pitchers and men that has ever been identified with the game," stated his teammate and former manager Napoleon Lajoie.
He was gone but not forgotten by the baseball world. Three months after his death, Joss's peers paid tribute to him with a special team of American League all-stars facing off against the Naps in an exhibition game that raised nearly $13,000 for his widow and two children.
Since Joss only completed nine seasons in the majors that meant he did not meet the Hall of Fame's 10-year eligibility rule. A group of sportswriters campaigned to gain a special exemption for Joss for many years, and he was finally elected to the Hall of Fame in 1978. In my book I have Joss listed as the third-best right handed starter in Wisconsin history behind Kid Nichols and Burleigh Grimes.
Other April birthdays include Charlie Chech, a Madison native with an April 14 birthday who went 11-7 with a 1.74 ERA as a teammate of Joss on the 1908 Naps and also played at the University of Wisconsin at Madison the same time as Joss. Chech only won 33 games during his four-year career but posted a sparkling 2.52 career ERA. Milwaukee native Chet Laabs, who was born on April 30 in 1947, made the honorable mention list of outfielders for Wisconsin's all-time team. Laabs recorded 813 hits over an 11-season career for three teams. He made the All-Star team with the St. Louis Browns in 1943 but his best season was 1942, when he slugged 27 homers and drove in 99 runs.
Chris Jensen is the author of Baseball State by State: Major League and Negro League Players, Ballparks, Museums and Historical Sites, which was published in July 2012 by McFarland. It features a chapter on each state covering state baseball history, an all-time team, stats leaders, historic baseball places to see, future stars, player nicknames and the state's all-time best player.


Silica is a common naturally occurring mineral. This fact sheet provides information about where silica is found, what are the hazards and risk management.
What is silica and where is it found?
Silica is a common naturally occurring mineral, also known as silicon dioxide. One common type of crystalline silica is quartz. Silica can be found or manufactured in different forms, broadly divided into crystalline and non-crystalline (amorphous). This information focuses on respirable crystalline silica, which is the more hazardous form.
Amorphous silica does not have these health hazards.
What tasks can lead to high crystalline silica exposure?
Crystalline silica particles that have just been fractured or abraded are more hazardous (eg crushing or cutting processes).
Occupational safety and health legislation requires employers, in consultation with workers, to identify hazards, assess risks and implement practical controls to protect workers' health and safety.
Silica can be identified by considering the types of materials used in the task. More information is available in material safety data sheets where these are available (eg for abrasive blasting agents) and from material suppliers.
The risk of silica exposure from the task is assessed by examining the work processes involving crystalline silica. The assessment must consider the dust exposure that could occur. Having dust levels monitored is the most accurate way to assess the risk, however in some cases (eg where there are visible clouds of dust from high silica materials, such as during dry concrete cutting) the risk may be clear without monitoring. It should be noted that very fine particles may be difficult to see in air, and monitoring is required to assess the risk from such particles. Workers must not be exposed to respirable crystalline silica levels above the national exposure standard of 0.1 mg/m3.
The occupational safety and health regulations require that exposure to hazardous substances be prevented where practical. If exposure can't be prevented, the risk must be reduced firstly by controls other than personal protective equipment (PPE). Regulation 5.20 of the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 (the OSH regulations) requires that PPE is only to be used to manage any remaining risk.
If there is regular exposure to crystalline silica and there may be a health risk (for example, where exposure is frequently at or above 50% of the exposure standard), health surveillance must be provided to workers under regulation 5.23 of the OSH regulations.

It's been a rough week here at Weird Band HQ, what with the passing of one of our idols, GWAR's Dave Brockie. But let's end the week on an up note, shall we? Courtesy of Merrill Garbus and her brilliantly quirky musical alter ego, tUnE-yArDs.
Garbus is gearing up for the release of her third album, Nikki Nack, which is due out May 6th on 4AD Records. She teased us earlier this month with an album "mega-mix," but now she's finally giving us a full track to chew on. It's called "Water Fountain" and it makes us want to jump rope in the spray of a busted fire hydrant.
tUnE-yArDs also announced a bunch more tour dates, which is good news for us, because her first gig here at L.A. sold out in about five seconds. We should have better luck scoring tickets to her second L.A. show at the much larger Fonda Theater, so we can post a review and some crappy Instagram photos for your delectation. Full dates after the clip.
