This exceptionally fresh study invites the reader to examine on the basis of historical evidence the ethical perceptions of the Sikh community at the turn of the last century. How do a people individually and collectively form and articulate their moral and religious outlook? How is a sense of distinctiveness enhanced under stress? Heritage is subject to a constant process of reassessment, and the presence of the colonial power, the role of other religious communities, and peculiarities of time and place are all factors to be taken into account.
But this study does not stop with the usual coordinates of the sociologists' and historians' investigations but tries to chart the inner metamorphosis taking place within the Sikh community itself. This metamorphosis involved not only a renewal but a regeneration. The student of religious studies will find herein an in-depth study of the ethico-religious dimension within the lifeworld of the Sikh community. It deals deftly and insightfully with a multitude of data including movements, scriptural and other literature, codes of conduct, and moral reasoning. In so doing it also provides reflection on the general question of the relation of morality to moralities.
Through bold scholarship and judicious methodological innovation Nripinder Singh has succeeded in providing an outstanding work on the Sikh ethical tradition which never loses sight of its central focus but at the same time raises cross-cultural issues which will not fail to stimulate new reflection on some of the leading issues of our time, especially on the self-transforming capacity of tradition and the bearing this has on the book is excellently timed, for it will enable serious students of Sikhism both in India and abroad to understand better the relationship of belief and practice, past history and present challenge.
Born at Faridkot (Punjab), Dr. Nirpinder Singh was educated at Punjabi University, Patiala, and at Harvard. At Harvard University, he earned his Ph.D in the history of religion and ethics.

The Tower Garden, with patent number 7,055,282 describes a vertical aeroponic garden device. Many people have made similar devices over the years and there have been patents for some of them.
I have created a vertical garden that reuses plastic drinking bottles. The garden has similarities in the way it functions, i.e., it has a pump to deliver water from a reservoir to the top and the water drips down over the plant roots.
It seems to me that all the vertical gardens have these elements, so what must I avoid to not be violating a patent?
8) a fluid distributor mounted atop said planting column in fluid communication with said conduit for distributing said fluid into said hollow interior; whereby fluid may be circulated through said planting column to provide nutrients to said planting medium for growing plants inserted into said planting ports of said column.
A device only infringes Claim 1 if it contains all of the 8 elements of the claim above. A device infringes a patent if it infringes at least one of the claims in that patent. So one would need to look at the other claims as well.
However, the title of the patent is often significantly broader than what is actually claimed by the patent.

A: The 550 error can appear when you don't have write access to the folder you are trying to upload (or the file you are trying to edit).
Given the messages you posted, you are trying to upload files to the root of the FTP. It is possible that you need to upload your files to a subfolder, usually (but not always) is /wwwroot in Windows hosting.
It also might be that your FTP credentials have only read rights, thus you can not put any files or folders in the FTP server.
Try and check your FTP credentials with an FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) to see if you can directly upload files and create folders.

WHAT IS THATCH? A group of high school students dedicated to raising funds and awareness of the high rate of child mortality in Africa from malaria and other preventable diseases. The acronym, THATCH, is for the thatched huts that are home for these kids.
WHAT IS OUR MISSION? Our mission is two-fold. First, we hope to raise funds and awareness of this enormous problem. Second, we hope to spread the spirit of service among American high school students. In this way, there is a benefit for both the African children and the American students who, hopefully, will be more likely to do other service projects in the future.
HOW DID IT GET STARTED? The catalyst for this project came from a family trip to Africa shortly after I read Bill Gates' first annual letter on the Gates Foundation's work on the high rate of child mortality in Africa. During my trip to Africa, I saw first hand the health problems of African children and had the honor of meeting Carol McDonald, the director of Construction Health and Relief Acts (CHaRA). CHaRA is dedicated to reducing child mortality in Africa. CHaRA is a 501c3 charitable organization. That means donations are tax-deductible. Our group will help CHaRA achieve their goals.
1. To increase the number of mosquito nets available in villages in Africa where malaria is a common but preventable cause of death.
2. To spread the spirit of service among American Hight School students so they will be moe likely to do other service projects in the future.
1. The number of mosquito nets purchased with funds from THATCH fund-raisers and delivered to African villages.
3. The amount of funds donated to CHaRA through the THATCH program.

SC JUNIOR AND SCHOLARSHIP EXHIBITION
We are glad to announce that Denise Bibro was invited to serve as a juror for Salmagundi Club Junior and Scholarship Exhibition, which highlights new and talented young artists.
The exhibition is on view January 10, 2022 – January 29, 2022, at the Rockwell gallery in Salmagundi Club, New York.
Denise Bibro shared her thoughts on some of the works from the exhibition:
I was most impressed with the quality and diversity of all the work. I encourage all these young artists to continue their art. Each one of them is a winner.
Time by Qudir Ayodele
This work was singled out because of its uniqueness in format and skill. The artist juxtaposes traditional elements of painting and rendering with geometric forms. By employing wood and paint the artist successfully combines both representation and abstraction to tell a story. The artist's skill in painting this man, with rough undulating layers of skin, riveting eyes and ware of a person of years of character building encourages the viewer to look closer at this embodiment of life and decades of experience.
Lovebirds by Dan Bunn
This still life composition is reminiscent of 17th century Dutch paintings. It is beautifully painted, with dramatic compositional forms, shapes, light, shadow, and richness of textures. The light coming from the small window to the right suggests a vast world outside, dramatically contrasting an intimate world inside with its rich dark colored walls and table. The painting presents an indulgent vignette for the viewer. The artist deftly employs subtle shades of browns, blacks, umbers in the background and contrasts it with the illuminated lush colors of fruits. The coupling of two birds enamors us. At the same time the undulating shape of an almost fully peeled lime and the halved melon, the richly painted chalice filled with liquid suggest that whoever was present just left, letting the pair of loving birds be alone.
Sarah by Tyler Berry
This representational painting of a young woman is richly painted with subtle flesh tones of various hues of pink, beige, white. They are highlighted with rich, somber tones of green, grey, umbers, etc. The beautifully rendered ear of the woman and the lovely rendering of the outline of her face enhances the reverie of the subject in a quietly held moment. The artist managed to elicit a tactile response in the viewer by their apt representation of textures.
Big Catch by Zachary Schrage
The rich, complex, and intense black and white ink drawing of the artist is compelling and beautiful. One may think of the story of Moby Dick or artworks of Winslow Homer when looking at this image. Schrage's artworks are narratives of grand happenings. The pillowing clouds and cascading rough waves speak not only visually but almost in words. Black and white enhances the urgency of the moment depicted. The undulating contrast of shapes and forms echo the characteristics and foreboding qualities of the natural elements that are depicted, showing the iconic human experience amidst the grandeur of wild nature.
The above are outstanding examples of the best of a whole lot of fantastic artists in the mix. Each of the artists that submitted their works had great value and deserve to be exhibited. I applaud their courage and fortitude and encourage all of them to continue their pursuits in the art world.
Open Call: Art from the Boros IX
It's that time of the year, Denise Bibro Fine Art is having its open call for "Art from The Boros."

SIS Live kicks off Ka-band-based SNG with Astra
20th January 2014 @ 11:42
Satellite newsgathering specialist SIS Live has taken Ka-band capacity on SES's Astra 1L satellite at 19.2° East to provide SNG services to UK broadcasters ITN and ITV.
The move means that SIS Live will be the first major SNG organsiation to operate DVB and IP services using Ka-band capacity.
"Having been heavily involved with the first major automated service for ITV and ITN 10 years ago, we have a deep understanding of the day-to-day needs of fast-moving newsgathering organizations," said David Meynell, managing director of SIS Live. "ITV and ITN demand high quality, efficient services delivered by the latest innovative cost-efficient technology, and through the utilisation of this Ka-band capacity we will be able to continue to deliver the excellence they have come to expect from us."

In the public sector procurement process, there is the requirement to evaluate all potential suppliers on both the price and quality of their goods or services. However, in the tendering world, one of the most common comments we tend to hear is: "Isn't it a fix, and isn't it all based on the lowest price?" – we explore low prices and the "race to the bottom".
The success of our graduate training programme attracted attention in the press last month. We take a further look at our graduate training programme and how it is contributing to the success of the company as we celebrate our 10 years in business.
Overview of the bid We were recently approached by a client new to the tendering process who wanted assistance to win a contract for fixed data cabling and Wi-Fi installation services – they were the incumbent on the contract but had never had to go through the tendering process before.
Recently in the press there has been plenty of controversy over the Department for Transport's decision to award DFDS, Brittany Ferries and Seaborne Freight three ferry contracts to provide additional shipping capacity in a no-deal Brexit. This was later found to have been awarded in a 'secretive' deal with no OJEU tender process, which has been the subject of a lot of scrutiny.
One of the best approaches to secure work within the public sector is via framework agreements. Whether you are a national company or a small SME about to start tendering for work, being named on a framework is a good way to secure business, gain credibility and grow your portfolio.


Salman Khan was sentenced to five years prison earlier today in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, following which the megastar was taken straight to Jodhpur Central Jail.
The Dabangg hero, along with Saif Ali Khan, Neelam Kothari, Tabu and Sonali Bendre, was accused of hunting and killing two blackbucks. However, the other actors have been acquitted.
Visuals of Salman Khan entering Jodhpur Jail have since gone viral, with his verdict having received a mixed reaction.
Salman has the right to appeal against the sentence in a higher court. However, the Indian media has reported that he will have to spend at least a few days in prison. Shall we wager on that?

Pauschütz ist ein Ortsteil der sächsischen Gemeinde Käbschütztal im Landkreis Meißen.

Geographie
Pauschütz befindet sich etwa sieben Kilometer südwestlich der Kreisstadt Meißen auf rund . Der Ort besteht aus einem Dreiseithof und einem südwestlich davon liegenden Wohngebäude. Von Pauschütz aus führen Straßen in die umliegenden Orte Canitz und Löbschütz. Löbschütz liegt etwa 500 Meter, Canitz etwa 700 Meter vom Ortskern entfernt. Pauschütz ist vollständig von Feldern umgeben.

Die Gemarkung Löbschütz grenzt im Norden an Löbschütz. Im Nordosten ist Löthain benachbart, östlich von Löbschütz befindet sich Canitz. Im Süden schließt sich Görna an die Gemarkung an, westlich benachbart ist Mauna. Alle umliegenden Orte gehören wie Löbschütz zur Gemeinde Käbschütztal.

Geschichte
Der Ort wurde urkundlich erstmals im Jahr 1205 als Budesitz erwähnt. Über Budeschitz im Jahr 1445 und Pauschwitz 1539 entwickelte sich der Ortsname bis 1547 zu Pauschitz. Pauschütz war zum Castrum Meißen in der Markgrafschaft Meißen gehörig. Ab dem 16. Jahrhundert wurde der Ort vom Erbamt Meißen verwaltet. Die Grundherrschaft übte das Rittergut Löthain aus. Pauschütz wurde etwa seit 1900 als Ortsteil von Canitz genannt.

Um den Bauernweiler erstreckte sich im Jahr 1839 59 Hektar Großblockflur, auf der die Einwohner des Dorfes der Landwirtschaft nachgingen. Zuerst war Pauschütz ins Kloster St. Afra gepfarrt, ab 1900 gehörte es kirchlich zu Krögis und ist heute Teil der dortigen Kirchgemeinde.

Canitz, zu dem Pauschütz als Ortsteil gehörte, wurde am 1. November 1935 nach Löthain eingemeindet. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Pauschütz Teil der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone und später der DDR. In der Kreisreform 1952 kam es zur Angliederung der Orte an den Kreis Meißen im Bezirk Dresden, der im Wesentlichen aus der Amtshauptmannschaft Meißen (später Landkreis Meißen) hervorgegangen war. Die Bauern im Dorf gingen nun den Weg der Landwirtschaft in der DDR. Löthain und seine Ortsteile vereinigten sich am 1. März 1974 mit Jahna-Kagen zu Jahna-Löthain.

Nach Wende und Wiedervereinigung wurde Pauschütz Teil des neugegründeten Freistaates Sachsen. In der Kreisreform 1994 wurde der Landkreis Meißen-Radebeul (ab 1996 Landkreis Meißen) aus dem alten Gebiet des Kreises Meißen und Teilen des Kreises Dresden-Land gebildet, dem Pauschütz bis 2008 angehörte. Ebenfalls 1994 vereinigten sich Jahna-Löthain, Krögis und Planitz-Deila zur neuen Großgemeinde Käbschütztal mit 37 Ortsteilen. Diese Gemeinde ist seit dem 1. August 2008 Teil des in der Kreisreform Sachsen 2008 aus Landkreis Meißen und Landkreis Riesa-Großenhain gebildeten dritten Landkreises Meißen.

Pauschütz bildet zwar eine eigene Gemarkung in Käbschütztal, ist aber nicht amtlich als Ortsteil ausgewiesen.

'Buss head' gets bail for robbing Venezuelan
A screen grab of the altercation between the police officer and the suspect.
Kaieteur News – The man who was caught on a viral video brawling with police ranks, receiving a 'buss head' last Sunday, was on Wednesday released on bail after he appeared in court for allegedly robbing a Venezuelan man.
The defendant, Clive Fields, 21, called 'Anthony Prince,' of Tucville, Georgetown, made his first appearance in the Georgetown Magistrates Court before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, when the charge was read to him. He denied he committed the crime.
It is alleged that on January 3, 2021, at Stabroek Market, Georgetown, while in the company of others, he robbed Ricky Menque, 31, of Friendship, East Bank Demerara, of a Samsung smartphone and $25,000.
It is also alleged that before, during or after the course of the robbery, he assaulted Menque.
It is reported that on the day in question, Menque had just exited a minibus and was walking on the pavement, when three males who were walking in the opposite direction pounced on him and relieved him of his cell phone and cash, before making good their escape.
Around 16:35 hrs., ranks on mobile police patrol responded to a report of robbery with aggravation committed on a man in the Stabroek Market area.
It is reported that the ranks arrested Fields and placed him in the back of the police vehicle, during which Fields allegedly became aggressive and attacked the ranks who then defended themselves.
A physical confrontation ensued between Fields and the police and he was eventually restrained and taken to the Brickdam Police Station. At the station, Fields was positively identified by the victim as one of the men who robbed him.
A police report stated that the suspect had refused medical attention, while the injured police ranks were treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The police's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is investigating the matter and is asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident between the suspect and the members of the force, to make contact with the officer in charge of the Police's OPR on telephone number 227-1926 or the Commander of the Regional Police Division on 226-1389.

There is no better time than now for pharmacare
On October 18, The Council of Canadians released the report: A Prescription for Better Medicine: Why Canadians need a National Pharmacare Program. Rankandfile.ca editor Gerard Di Trolio sat down with the report's author, the Council's National Healthcare Campaigner Michael Butler, to ask him about the significance of the report's findings, how it would benefit Canadian workers and the economy, and why now is the time to act on a national pharmacare program.
R&F: Can you put pharmacare in historical context in regards to the history of universal healthcare in Canada
Michael Butler: Canada's health care system is not the great equalizer we like to think it is. A missing piece remains, universal pharmacare. It may come as some surprise to many people but Canada has unfortunate distinction of being the only country with a universal national public health care plan not to include prescription drug coverage. It is time to finish writing the final chapter in medicare's story.
So, a national drug coverage plan was first recommended in Canada by the Royal Commission on Health Services in 1964 (known as the "Hall Commission"). Since then there have been numerous commissions that all advocated for pharmacare, like the Romanow Commission among others. It all points to the fact that pharmacare remains a good idea to this day. Unfortunately, we have lacked in federal leadership in the past decade to get the job done. But it's time, Canadians can't wait any longer. Canadians know this, polls show 91% Canadians support universal pharmacare, you can't get much of a larger mandate than that.
R&F: What's been happening lately with drug prices?
MB: Every week we here another story about some pharma bro or big pharma company jacking up the cost on life saving drugs. So here is the thing, this isn`t only a problem in the US and despite the maple washing by our politicians on drug costs, Canada is not far behind the US. Looking at per capita pharmaceutical expenditures, Canada's are higher than all other OECD nations, with the exception of the United States. Canadian drug expenditures overall increased by 184.43 per cent between 2000 and 2012, a rate higher than any other comparator country, even the United States. If coming trade deals like CETA and the TPP pass, this will mean billions more in costs for Canada and make it more difficult to implement pharmacare. It is no surprise that in Canada and the US Big Pharma have been lobbying the hardest for these trade deals, much more than other industries.
The report shows that per capita cost of prescription medications has increased fivefold since 1984. In 2016, Canadians will fill over 600 million prescriptions at a cost of more than $30 billion. This amount is four times more than what we spent on prescriptions 20 years ago. For example, the prices of brand name drugs in Canada are roughly 30 per cent higher than in comparable countries like the United Kingdom that have pharmacare. More than ever profits are being put before patients, and Canadians are dying as a result. Make no mistake about that.
R&F: How is the lack of pharmacare at the federal level impacting Canadians?
MB: Your postal code or socio-economic status should not dictate if you receive necessary medication, but sadly it does in Canada. Because of our fragmented system more than two-thirds of Canadians, around 25 million, do not have access to a public drug plan. For a nation that prides itself on its humanity, this should be a national shame. It is estimated that 10 per cent of Canadians – around 3.5 million people – lack even basic drug coverage. When we look to other OECD countries, only the United States and Poland have a lower percentage of drug costs paid for by public programs. Canada is also second only to the United States in the use of private insurance.
Studies report that 23 per cent of Canadian families – nearly 1 in 4 – fail to take needed medication due to costs, which has an enormous impact on health. What is the result? In Canada it is believed that 6.5 per cent of hospital admissions are the result of non-adherence to medications, and this cost an estimated $7 billion to $9 billion per year.
It is important to mention at this point that more medicine does not necessarily mean better medicine. The report looks at this crucial issue which is perhaps more important than cost savings. Universal pharmacare improve drug and patient safety, prescribing appropriateness, get Big Pharma out of doctors offices and post-market surveillance among many many other things.
The report also looks at how low-income workers are cruelly one of the worst off in our system, as they generally do not have drug coverage as part of their employment, but they earn "too much" to be covered under public plans.
Just 32 per cent of Canadian workers earning between $10,000 and $20,000 and 17 per cent of those earning $10,000 or less receive health benefits from their employer. And it comes as no surprise that men are more likely to have a benefits plan from their employer than women.
Further, studies show that women work more often in part-time jobs that do not offer health benefits. We know only 1 in 4 part time workers have employer-provided health benefits.
For young workers aged 25 and under, only 1 in 4 have employer-provided benefits and this comes at a time when approximately 39 per cent of workers between the ages of 15 and 29 are precariously employed.
No other policy change can have such a transformative impact on labour in Canada, from autoplant workers, to retail or food service workers, to nurses.This is why unions from CUPE, to Unifor, to the CFNU, among many others, have been pushing for universal pharmacare.
R&F: What would the economic impact of Pharmacare be?
MB: Anyone who has bargained a collective agreement knows that health benefits are one of the most contentious issues at the table. And, prescription drugs generally represent the largest portion of the cost for employer-provided.
As a result of our medicare, Canada has already been an attractive source for investment from our largest trading partner, the U.S., as our universal single-payer system offers a competitive advantage for business. Medicare already provides Canadian employers with a competitive advantage equal to approximately $4 an hour. Since pharmaceuticals are the second largest component of health care spending in Canada, a universal, public pharmacare program would add considerably to this advantage
R&F: Why is now the time to make the case for pharmacare?
MB: Despite all this talk of the middle class and sunny ways, 1 in 3 Canadians with incomes under $50,000 reported that they or someone in their house were not able to take their medication as pres prescribed – if at all – because of costs. And judging by comments from our Health Minister Jane Philpott, it doesn't look like the Liberals will get serious about pharmacare. Right now we have major health accord negotiations occurring which would be the perfect place to put in the building blocks for universal pharmacare. While pharmacare may take some time to implement, we desperately need to get the ball rolling and we have an opportunity right now. We have Liberal governments in Ontario, which has expressed strong support for universal pharmacare, and Quebec, the two major stakeholders you need on side. There is no better time than now for pharmacare.

Our orchestras are playing well
Our compatriots have, along with a pessimistic strain, a particular resilience that allows them to fight adversity. Events in recent months and years have sorely tried our orchestras, but on the evidence of their current playing, they are reacting positively. I can't refer to the Buenos Aires Philharmonic, for due to a recent illness I haven't been able to attend their interesting cycle of three concerts conducted by young international talents, but last week I witnessed two valuable sessions: the National Symphony (Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional) offered the mighty Second Symphony ("Resurrection") by Mahler conducted by our true specialist, Pedro Calderón; and the Colón Orchestra (Orquesta Estable del Colón) gave a concert that featured Beethoven's Choral Fantasia with our great senior lady of the piano, Pía Sebastiani.
Calderón has long been a champion of Gustav Mahler and is certainly an admirable builder of sound. The conductor who tackles a symphony by this master needs two contradictory qualities: he must analyze painstakingly its complex structure and present it with clarity, but he also has to adapt to its enormous emotional contrasts and give us its everchanging moods, almost maniacally detailed in the score. In both counts Calderón is accomplished; now 75, he is in good physical shape and keeps tight control and concentration throughout. He knows the "Resurrection" inside out (I believe it's the third time he does it here) and is unerring in his choice of tempi. True, he has always played safe in the matter of pianissimi: he does them piano to prevent croaks from the winds, but on the other hand the sound comes out firm and satisfying, in always precise blocks. And the phrasing is expressive avoiding maudliness.
The Mahler Second has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it with the Vox Klemperer recording in 1951, and the years have only confirmed my love for it: as the composer wished, his symphony is a universe that goes from the initial funeral march to the glorious affirmation of resurrection of the last movement, with soprano, contralto and mixed choir.
The National Symphony has undergone a lot of frustration (and so has Calderón, its Principal Conductor) these last two years, as an obstinately unresponsive National Culture Secretariat led by José Nun has kept it paralyzed for months on end, but this year the clouds have lifted and it seems the organism will be able to carry out its artistic plans. Not all is well, of course: their venue this season will be the main hall of the UBA Law College (Facultad de Derecho), notoriously bad in its over-resonant acoustics (although even so I have fond memories of my teenager forays to the Radio Nacional Orchestra concerts of the fifties and sixties with eminent conductors). Concerts will be free because such is the age-old condition of that place, and not because of social reasons as we are told. The truth of the matter is that the house of the National Symphony for many years, the Auditorio de Belgrano, is off bounds because the Culture Secretariat either didn't pay its rental or cancelled the orchestra's concerts in recent years. And of course an orchestra that plays always for free is diminished in its projection. Add to it that there will be very few foreign guests , and not of the first rank, and also that programmes won't be as innovative as Calderón has accustomed us in other brilliant seasons, and you have what I hope is a transitional year to more important levels: better programming, a recuperated Auditorio and guest conductors and soloists according to the quality of our admirable National Symphony, so often mishandled by the Government.
Back to the "Resurrection". Apart from minimal fluffs, the orchestra played very well, with many excellent solos and great discipline. The Coro Polifónico Nacional under Roberto Luvini gave us fine singing, from pianissimo to fortissimo; there are many splendid voices . The weak point was Lucila Ramos Mané, the plummy contralto: her register sounded bruised and her histrionics didn't help in such an intimate song as "Urlicht". Cecilia Layseca's soprano isn't ideally creamy for her music, but she was expressive and accurate.
I recently wrote about a concert conducted by Carlos Vieu, the new Principal Conductor of the Colón Orchestra. Only last December the organism protested in the streets, led by their then conductor, Stefan Lano. Now they seem in good communication with Vieu, who is careful in spotlighting the soloists and the orchestral groups when the end-of-concert bows come. Vieu showed again that he is the best Argentine conductor of his generation with very well-considered readings of such standards as Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" and Dvorák's "New World Symphony". He also gave fine support to Pía Sebastiani in Beethoven's Fantasy.
The lady is now 83, but this is only statistics: she doesn't show her age either in her radiant appearance or in her firm, orthodox playing. Minor blemishes counted for very little. In fact I got much pleasure from her traversal of this strange work that starts with a big piano introduction, follows with a theme with variations (the tune has a family resemblance with the famous one from the Finale of the Choral Symphony) and ends with five minutes of mixed choir with six vocal soloists. She gave the score solidity and substance . The Colón Choir (Salvatore Caputo) was good, the soloists less so.
Quo Vadis, Colón?
The Colón's brilliant trajectory and harsh present...
Italian opera dominates

Medical Mission Sisters' Deepalaya farm is an oasis in Madhya Pradesh

"You may find snakes in the garden but please don't kill them. They have a right to live in this property like us. They will not hurt you unless you hurt them." This was the instruction Sr. Molly Vadaken, the community coordinator, gave to the new novices as part of their orientation to the house and property.
It reminded me of the great words of Sir David Attenborough: "I think sometimes we need to take a step back and just remember we have no greater right to be here than any other animal."
The Medical Mission Sisters started the community Deepalaya ("house of light") in 2006 in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India. They built a boundary wall and a house within the three-acre farmland, and it has been well-used ever since.

In keeping with the vision of our founder, after Vatican II our General Chapter decided to integrate psycho-spiritual, socioeconomic, structural justice and ecological dimensions into our healing charism.
We watched as health care became more of a profit-driven business, and wanted to promote holistic health — body, mind and spiritual integration — into our ministries, and an ecological awareness that food is medicine. Mother Earth provides every nutrient to keep us healthy. The importance of organic food is stressed by many other groups and by Ayurveda, the traditional health system of India.

In Deepalaya, the pioneer sisters planted an acre of land with seasonal tropical fruit trees like mangoes, papaya, banana, chikku, gooseberry, custard apple, and varieties of lemon. We latecomers were blessed to enjoy the fruits of their labor, while we too continue to care for Mother Earth.
Another acre of land is for cultivating food grains — wheat, corn, millet varieties, and various kinds of pulses. Another area is full of seasonal vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, a variety of beans, and eggplant.
Close to the house is the flower garden, with flowers of many colors — including a butterfly plant where multicolored butterflies gather around to flutter their wings and make a feast for the eyes.

All kind of birds enjoy the land and sing in the mornings and all through the day. Squirrels have full access to the produce of the farm and the fruit trees, and rats take their share of grains as well. Snakes — both the harmless and poisonous — enjoy the land, but no one has been hurt so far.
Mosquitos are the only unwelcome guests, and they do dare to enter even the privacy of the novitiate house despite the mosquito mesh everywhere! "Smoke aarthi" with neem leaves are a usual ritual in the house to chase mosquitoes. Bitter juice from chirata leaves (herbal medicine to purify blood) are provided weekly to protect us from malaria and other illnesses.

In between are the shade trees, whose roots help to retain water in the land, and help maintain the water level in the well even in summer. Bamboos and teak woods give a majestic look all around the boundary. Sister Molly is a trained environmentalist who manages the farm, since Sister Josephine succumbed to COVID-19 after many years of dedicated work managing the farm and making herbal preparations.
All the seasonal fruits are in demand since they are produced organically. People who taste the fruits here do not like to go back to the market, as they know the difference in taste. After our domestic use, all the excess fruits and vegetables are shared or sold every year to people who come here to buy.
There is an herbal garden with many medicinal plants used to prepare oils and tablets for all aches and pains as well as minor injuries and diseases. Hair oil is prepared according to order from outsiders. Many herbs and green leaves are used for consumption as well.
There are four manure pits in the property where the vermicompost (with earthworms) is prepared for the year. All waste waters from the house, as well as rainwater, is directed to the pits and the area around the tube well for water conservation.
To keep insects away, natural pesticide is prepared from neem leaves and cow urine. Neem trees are air purifiers, too, and keep the atmosphere pollution-free. Drumstick (moringa) flowers and leaves are used for cooking, and the trees produce fruits and leaves all year.
When the world is facing honeybee extinction in many places, you find honeybee hives here in the trees as well as in the corner of the building. Just like the snakes, they are harmless as they freely fly around the plants and flowers, doing their business. With the help of beekeepers, honey harvesting is done without hurting the bees or the hives.

Subhan Bai and Rama Devi (names changed for privacy) are hired from the leprosy colony, where people are still hesitant to interact with them though they are free of the disease. They have been working on the farm since its beginning and know every corner of the land and what needs to be done and when.
Lucky and Jacky are two watch dogs who keep us safe at night, alerting us to the presence of snakes or any intruders to the property, while they freely rest during the day.
Madhya Pradesh, in central India, unfortunately has extreme weather conditions: Summers are very hot, with water scarcity, and winters are icy cold. Sisters enjoy the fresh water from the well, and every summer share water with more than a hundred families around the village who cannot afford to buy water. Hence Deepalaya farm became a real oasis for the sisters and those around us.
The novices in training to be Medical Mission Sisters not only get the classes but also hands-on experience in planting, weeding, gardening and harvesting the fruits. This inculcates the value of caring for Mother Earth, and the awareness that we are not separate entities but one and the same. This is a refreshing experience amid their classes and other training.

And we are promoting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, especially 1 and 2 (nutritious food), 3 (good health and well-being), 5 (empowerment of girls and women), and 6 (safe drinking water and sanitation) — to name just a few.
We concluded the Season of Creation with the novices planting their rose plants (which they received as a gift at the time of their official entrance into the novitiate) as a sign of new life. Earth Day and other environment days are celebrated annually with the novices.
With the psalmist, we sing praise to God that in your house "even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young" (Psalm 84:4).

Mary & Gavin's story is an emotional one with a fantastic connection to the past. Seeing the early childhood photos reminds me of my own story, and how I grew up riding in my Grandpa's '67 Beetle that I now own today. Thanks for sharing, guys! 1967beetle.com exist because of people like you.
It was through a search on EBay Motors in early May 2015 that we happened upon our 1967 VW Beetle. The car was originally purchased at North Import Motors in Chicago, Illinois where it remained with the original owner until just a few years ago. The death of the original owner, who lived to the age of 100, saw the "mostly" original 67' Beetle bought & sold to a few neighbors until it came to us as its fourth owner with 82,500 original miles.
We were immediately impressed to see ALL of the one year '67 model parts intact, even the infamous dust cover on the rear deck lid latch! According to the VIN our bug was born in October of 1966 in West Germany. The only thing that we have replaced is a period correct AM/FM Sears radio with an original Sapphire V radio made for this Volkswagen sourced on Ebay.
The transient smell of the coconut fiber seat pads and the forty eight years of patina on the headliner further confirmed that the interior is absolutely original! As you can see in the photos, we added some 1967 VW "bling" courtesy of Lane Russell in the form of the Bambus tray, a Roof Rack, and Hub Cap pullers. In addition, an aftermarket vase adds a bit of flare to the quaint dash area. Along with new brakes, the exterior and rims were painted in 2009 and we have plans to return the rims to their original black and white this winter. We are in the process of acquiring some vintage luggage, cooler, and other nostalgic VW antiquities to compliment the floor pans and battery tray which are original to the vehicle with no holes or rot . It goes without saying we are blessed to have found a wonderful 67' Beetle that was revered and cared for her last 48 years by previous owners. We are proud to carry on the legacy of our '67 Beetle as we make her "road ready" for the car show circuit in Northern Michigan and specifically the Traverse City area where we reside.
My love affair with Beetles started in May of 1974. My father purchased a brand new Gold 1974 Volkswagen "SUN BUG" that my mother fell in love with and picked out. Dad and I went together this day to the Westport VW Dealership on Milwaukee's West Layton Avenue where dad put "one dollar down" and with his humble, happy grin my dad drove us home down Layton Avenue in what seemed like a large vehicle to a six year old. As I recall, I couldn't see over the dash, no car seats in those days, so I just sat on the edge of the brown corduroy passenger seat clinging to the handle grip on the dash and studied my dad's face watching him drive down the road getting acquainted with the new family ride. This was our family car for several years. With the sun roof wide open, windows rolled down (weather permitting), and the constant tornadic swirl of Tareyton 100's ciggy smoke and ashes from the cigarettes of my chain smoking parents the Sun Bug was the the mode of transportation for my parents, sister, and I on the five hour annual summer trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula each June to visit relatives.
One of the highlights of the five hour journey each summer was the "mandatory stop" and unofficial half way point in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin the home of "The Stretch" truck stop. Here we got a bio-break and could get the finest "greasy comfort food" on the planet. Well ok, the finest in the State of Wisconsin! We would use The Stretch stop to fill the tank with petrol before continuing north drafting off the rear end of semi-trailer trucks on US Highway 41 excited about our next stop, the "Cheese Outlet." This WAS the high point! I knew dad couldn't resist, nor could I, those delicious Wisconsin cheese curds and summer sausage bites. Of course, we happily purchased the economy size bags that dad skillfully, carefully, and ceremoniously opened and nestled between the front seats of the Sun Bug perfectly perched atop the emergency brake and the air vent levers creating two handy, sturdy "feed bags" that I trust could have been mistaken for an OG VW accessory! Not a curd or bite of sausage went to waste from the well placed bags as we all dug in and enjoyed our feast on our way to grandma's house!!
It was 1983 when the Sun Bug left us for good and forced us to find an alternative mode of transportation. Although still in running condition, the floor pans, brakes, and brake lines had seen better days! Rusted out from years of salty Wisconsin & Michigan winter roads it was now a qualifier as a "Flintstones" mobile. We could go nowhere if it might rain or we risked getting soaked from the errant jet spray of road water shooting thru the rotted floor pans….it was time to move on. Although I have just one picture of the Sun Bug (above), I do have the owner's manual on display in my home office next to a vintage map of Milwaukee as a reminder of the car and the fond memories of Milwaukee, trips to the UP, and that "special day" I picked up the Sun Bug with my dad in May of 1974.
This is actually a tale of two 1967 lotus white VW bugs. The first tale starts in Marquette, Michigan where I acquired my first 67' VW sedan as a college student attending Northern Michigan University. Now, fast forward from 1983 to July of 1990 where I was working my way through my senior year of college and gleaning through the classifieds of our local newspaper, the Marquette Mining Journal. I was looking for nothing special, but there it was; a "1967 VW Beetle For Sale -$1000 or Best Offer." Hmm. Wouldn't it be cool to own a bug the same year of my birth, 1967?
It goes without saying, having no idea of the significance of this model year, that I bought the car and took possession of it and several other miscellaneous parts the previous owner had purchased with restoration in her mind. However, her plans to attend college next fall and the dollars to do so foiled her restoration plans and now I was the proud owner and steward of my first 1967 Beetle.
In a 1990 world, I found myself at a loss when sourcing parts. No Google, no Internet, no email or websites. All I had was a JC Whitney catalog "snail mail" connection and a local junkyard with a few salty and rusted relics that were once "road warrior" VW beetles. Finally, by chance, my mechanic told me to give Parts Place for VW near Detroit a call. The guy I spoke to on the phone had empathy for me and my situation and asked, "You have a 67' beetle?." "That's a one year model, nothing is available." The only good news was that he could find and retrofit other model year parts from his vast array of parts available in the shop. Oh boy! (That's not what I really said)….What have I gotten myself into, I thought? I ordered a few things such as tail pipes, a muffler, and other, homogenous stuff, and just decided to drive it "as is" and have fun with what I had…my 1967 Beetle!
Much has transpired since 1990. I graduated from college in spring of 91', the advent of the Internet, married my beloved wife of 20 plus years, started a wonderful family, made great friends, and built a rewarding career. My beloved father and VW mentor sadly passed away in April of 2002 and the Beetle sat quietly in storage for most of the last 25 years waiting for its' time of restoration. Needless to say, we had a blast when we did bring the ol' Bug out to play! Not knowing much about Beetles outside of the odd transient smells of old stale coconut fiber and gas fumes, a calling card of most classic bugs, my wife warmed up slowly but surely to the VW nostalgia and idea of getting her road ready after we attended a vintage VW festival. . One thing you need to know about my awesome wife is that she can source anything on the Internet and I believe this restoration idea presented her with a new challenge to test her skills. She is a "master" in her own right at making things like this happen! In fact, we got several hundred dollars into the restoration and then one day in May 2015 while sourcing parts for Bug #1, my wife happened upon an original 1967 Beetle on EBay, (yes, the one in the feature). She says, "You need to take a look at this…I'm not sure what "Original" means but maybe you can give him a call?" Armed with my list of "one-year parts" compliments of 1967beetle.com and videos from Chris Vallone, I was ready for the shakedown! The questions to the seller flowed rapid fire, the answers were affirmative….I was getting very excited now! However, there was some bad news, I was told it might be sold! My heart sank… "How sold?" I asked. "Well a guy from another state has promised to put a down payment on it" came the response from the seller."OK", I said. "If anything changes, let me know." No worries! After all, I already had one 67' waiting for it's debut.
Luckily for us, the previous deal did not move forward and we were able to purchase the Bug and have it shipped to Traverse City! Mind you, this was a purchase "sight unseen." Outside of a phone call, we hadn't driven the car or even seen it other than the series of photos provided by the seller on EBay and an instinctual sense that we could "trust" the seller. You could imagine our anxiety immediately followed by pure delight, when the '67 arrived rolling off the delivery truck exactly as described. She ran great. No exhaust smoke at all. There was just that unmistakable engine chirp complimented by beautiful paint, an original relatively clean and tear free interior and,yes, floor pans that were a bit grubby but no major rust or holes. Indeed, we thought to one another, this is the "Holy Grail" of 1967 VW Beetle survivors!
Perhaps you're wondering….what about the first Bug? Restoration? Sold? The suspense is killing me!!
All I can honestly tell you is that our first Beetle has matching numbers, was born in August of 1966 and is a permanent member of our family. It was my college summer ride and a daily driver back and forth to work for a few summers in the late 1990's. It chauffeured our two babies around in slow neighborhood "bug rides" where they honked the horn laughing and drooling. It sported dozens of little multicolored chalk handprints made in our driveway by the neighborhood kids. Handprints that, when washed away by the sprinkler on hot summer days, covered the Beetles' poor paint job.
Today, I am proud to say the babies have grown to become outstanding licensed teen drivers bitten by a "bug" of their own. Their "'67′ bug rides" of the past have yielded to a quest for cash and keys. "My wife and I are happy to provide our two children with access to these great memories through the simple turning of a key in the ignition switch of a '67 Beetle. It fills us with joy to do so. Hence, a third generation has been bitten by the BUG!
Thanks, guys, for sharing your story with 1967beetle.com.
Great story! Great car! Great Photos!
The jury is still out on that bud vase though.
Vases in general seem hard to locate. We've been trying to source them with not much luck. Great car!
I agree with Mike! Great story and photos! Reading about the rust from road salt makes me appreciate our dry climate here in California! I have always considered the bud vase a woman's touch and never felt compelled to find one for my '67! But at a car show they do make the car fell friendly!
Also, I wanted to let everyone know I'm really sorry for the downtime. We've been growing a lot, and our server is having issues handling the site traffic. We are doing our best to get it figured out as soon as we can.
My favourite colour for this year. One of these days I hope to buy a 67 to match my sea blue 66 and L87 whit 71 Westy. I have been watching these prices soar the last five years. One of these days I know I will find a decently priced sedan. Great looking car! Thanks for sharing.
Great car, great story, great photos, GREAT FAMILY!!
Thanks, Neva. Sorry if the site has been down. We are having some real issues..
Great car. Even better story leading to them.
Thanks everyone for your kind words! The vase is temporary until we find the right "Rosenthal" vase. We plan to enter several car shows and exhibit all the amenities of this wonderful beetle!
Your story reminds of mine too. I bought a new 1967 Volkswagen 1500 in Hamilton, Ontario. I must say that reading your site has inspired me to the point that I will now aggressively search out an original 1967 Volkswagen 1500. Thank You so much for the inspiration.


Predicted interest rate rises are causing prospective homebuyers in Britain to take out fixed-rate mortgages in ever increasing numbers.
Research carried out by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) shows that 87 per cent of consumers investing in bricks and mortar for the first time chose such a product in February 2007.
This was compared to the previous record of 84 per cent in January and 82 per cent in the same month of 2006.
Compared to the two-thirds who did so in January 2007, some 70 per cent of all homebuyers took out a fixed-rate package in February.
CML director general Michael Coogan said: "With the chance of at least one more interest rate rise this year, first-time buyers are taking the sensible option of taking out fixed-rate deals and locking into the payment security they provide.
"First-time buyers are the most financially stretched group and the fact that a record number of them are choosing a fixed-rate deal demonstrates their desire to plan ahead and avoid the risks interest rate rises would bring."

In Depth | Trulicity: new once-weekly treatment for type II diabetes
on the 4 February 2015
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist for the management of type II diabetes.
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is administered at a weekly dose of 750 microgram when used as monotherapy or 1.5mg when used in combination with other antidiabetic agents
Trulicity is licensed for the treatment of type II diabetes when diet and exercise provide inadequate glycaemic control. It can be used as monotherapy when metformin is inappropriate, or in combination with other glucose-lowering medicinal products, including insulin, when these alone are inadequate.1
View Trulicity drug record
Dulaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist. It improves glycaemic control by lowering fasting, pre-meal and postprandial glucose concentrations. The antihyperglycaemic effect starts after the first dose and is sustained throughout the once-weekly dosing interval, as a result of the prolonged half-life of 4.7 days.1
The safety and efficacy of dulaglutide were evaluated in six randomised, controlled, phase III trials involving 5,171 patients with type II diabetes. The primary endpoint in all studies was mean change in HbA1c.1
Monotherapy (AWARD-3)
Treatment with dulaglutide monotherapy (1.5mg once weekly) resulted in an HbA1c reduction of -0.78% at week 26 compared with a reduction of -0.56% for metformin (1.5–2g daily). Once-weekly dulaglutide at either dose (750 microgram and 1.5mg) was superior to metformin in terms of HbA1c reduction at 26 weeks (p<0.0025 for both).2
Vs sitagliptin (AWARD-5)
Another study compared dulaglutide 1.5mg and 750 microgram with sitagliptin 100mg daily in metformin-treated patients with inadequate glycaemic control. At week 52, both dulaglutide doses produced superior glycaemic control to sitagliptin, with mean HbA1c reductions of 1.1% and 0.87% versus 0.39%, respectively (p.0.001 for both comparisons).3
Vs liraglutide (AWARD-6)
In a non-inferiority study, patients with inadequately controlled diabetes receiving metformin (≥1.5g/day) were randomly assigned to receive once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5mg (n=299) or once-daily liraglutide 1.8mg (n=300). Dulaglutide showed non-inferiority to liraglutide for HbA1c reduction at week 26.4
With metformin and sulfonylurea
Dulaglutide was compared with insulin glargine in patients receiving metformin and a sulfonylurea. Dulaglutide 1.5mg was superior to insulin glargine in lowering HbA1c at week 52 and the benefit was maintained until trial end (78 weeks). In addition, dulaglutide 750 microgram was non-inferior to insulin glargine.1
With metformin and pioglitazone (AWARD-1)
When added to metformin and pioglitazone, dulaglutide at doses of both 1.5mg and 750 microgram showed superiority to placebo and twice-daily exenatide for HbA1c reduction at 26 weeks.5
With prandial insulin (AWARD-2)
Patients were randomised to dulaglutide once weekly or insulin glargine once daily, both in combination with prandial insulin lispro three times daily, with or without metformin. At 26 weeks, both doses of dulaglutide were superior to insulin glargine in lowering HbA1c.1
The most commonly reported adverse effects of dulaglutide were nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.1
The incidence of symptomatic hypoglycaemia in patients treated with dulaglutide was 0.14-0.62 events per patient per year when used as monotherapy, in combination with metformin or with metformin plus pioglitazone.1
Higher rates of symptomatic hypoglycaemia were observed when dulaglutide was given in combination with a sulfonylurea plus metformin or prandial insulin. As with other GLP-1 agonists, prescribers adding dulaglutide to a patient's regimen may need to reduce the dose of concomitant sulfonylurea or insulin, to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia.1

NASA selects astronaut Kate Rubins for final paid Soyuz seat to ISS
Zac Hall - Jun. 3rd 2020 9:52 am PT Twitter icon @apollozac
NASAInternational Space StationKate Rubins
NASA astronaut Kate Rubins will fly to the International Space Station in October for a six-month mission as part of Expedition 63 and Expedition 64. Astronaut Rubins will serve as a flight engineer and space station crew member.
The flight will be recorded in history for the last Soyuz seat purchased by NASA from Russia's space agency Roscosmos.
NASA shared the announcement in a press release on Wednesday:
Rubins, along with cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, are scheduled to launch Oct. 14 on the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Among some of the hundreds of experiments ongoing during her mission, Rubins will conduct research using the Cold Atom Lab to study the use of laser-cooled atoms for future quantum sensors, and will work on a cardiovascular experiment that builds on an investigation she completed during her previous mission.
NASA selected Rubins as an astronaut in 2009, and she completed her first spaceflight in 2016 as an Expedition 48/49crew member. She launched July 6, 2016, and spent 115 days in space, during which she conducted two spacewalks totaling 12 hours and 46 minutes before her return to Earth Oct. 29, 2016. During her stay on the space station, Rubins helped advance important science and research and became the first person to sequence DNA in space.
Since 2011, NASA has relied on paying millions of dollars to Roscosmos for leasing seats to the ISS on Soyuz rockets launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. NASA purchased the final seat for the October launch last month.
American spaceflight returned to the U.S. on Saturday, however, when SpaceX sent NASA astronauts to the ISS for the first time since the space shuttle was retired in 2011.
Going forward, SpaceX and later Boeing will send astronauts from various space agencies around the world to the ISS for NASA missions. NASA astronauts are expected to continue to fly on Soyuz rockets as well, but no payment will be required with NASA and Roscosmos trading seats.

Plan your riding trip in detail. Forest rangers are an excellent source of information and you can get maps from them for a couple of bucks. Trails Illustrated puts out great maps and they are kept fairly current. Let people know (including the rangers) where you are going and when you expect to be there. Get yourself and your animals in proper shape. When you start off if you have to climb up to the trail take it slow with lots of stops so that they have a chance to blow. Never push your horses until you are certain that they have totally acclimated to the altitude.

Henry Clay Mabie: Selected Articles and Messages
Rear Cover:
"That the gospel was made for man and man for the gospel is at the bottom of all our hope and confidence. If it cannot save all men that open their hearts to it when fairly applied, then it can save no man in any place or in any age"
Henry Clay Mabie
"Our interest in missions is a mark of our Christian character; our knowledge of missions is the measure of our Christian attainment; our participation in missions is the measure of our Christian efficiency"
These selected articles and messages by Dr. Henry Clay Mabie contain rich spiritual lessons embedded in fresh thoughts and fascinating American church history. This history goes back to the days Moody and Sankey, to the Northfield Conferences and the fruitful efforts of the American Baptist Missionary Union. This book magnifies the missionary spirit of the Bible through the vicarious redemption of mankind from sin through the cross of the atonement.
"This is an age of 'quick returns', easy gains, least trouble, everything with as little effort and cost as possible. Depth is a lost stamina. Stamina is a minus quality. Who today would take the pains to read such classics on the Cross as Dr. Mabie's The Divine Reason of the Cross and The Meaning and Message of the Cross? This superficiality is costing the Church and Christians very dearly, and so there is artificial life, artificial food, artificial fellowship which will not go through in the time of testing."
T. Austin-Sparks
"The articles, messages and books by Dr. Mabie are deep and original, spoken or written from the Christ-loving and missionary heart of a man who, raised on a farm, had the rare combination to be an evangelist, pastor, theologian, author, conference leader and speaker, missionary statesman, traveler, and a thinker who let Jesus to be the genius for his philosophical mind."
Roel Velema (The Netherlands)
We live in a generation that almost has forgotten Henry Clay Mabie and his profound writings. Yet he worked closely with the spiritual giants of his day, with men as Dwight L. Moody, George Campbell Morgan, John R. Mott, and Rueben A. Torrey. For example, Henry Mabie, Rueben Torrey, and J. Wilbur Chapman, had all worked with Moody in his various evangelistic campaigns.
It's encouraging to see that Dr. Mabie's books are still available and appreciated. Fortunately, his legacy also has been preserved in articles and messages which contain lessons of high spiritual value. These lessons are all too often not to be separated from their historical setting. Let the reader not be bothered and consider this setting as outdated and irrelevant historical information. In Scripture too, spiritual lessons are, without exception, embedded in the history of their time. It makes it intense practical and helps to explain the process that forms the spiritual mind.
When we appreciate the full and deep discussions of the learned, we will certainly be attracted to the rich printed legacy of Henry Clay Mabie.
Roel Velema
Hattem, The Netherlands
Henry Clay Mabie was born in Belvidere, Illinois, on June 20, 1847. He had been converted at the age of eleven by a young minister named Henry G. Weston. Henry lived a retiring and somewhat indifferent Christian life until the first year of his college course, during which time he had a very remarkable renewal of his spiritual life, which transformed him into an earnest and joyful evangelist.
In the fall of 1863, young Henry, sixteen years old, met D.L. Moody in Chicago. Henry had come from the Illinois home on a farm, to enter the old University of Chicago as a student. Mr. Moody made an impression on him for life. Never before had he seen a layman so making business, as Moody seemed to be doing, in order that others would to seek the kingdom of God. Having got a taste of joy in soul-winning, Henry never lost it. Later, in 1906 Henry Mabie published a book on the subject, Method in Soul-Winning. It's a classic on the subject.
The school of the old University of Chicago, where he was studying at this time, being broken up by a case of small-pox in the building, be returned to his home, where, with the blessing of God, his presence was the means of one of the greatest revivals Belvidere has ever seen. On his return to college the same power accompanied him, and during all his four years' course the religious life of the college might be said to have been at revival pitch.
He graduated from the University in 1868.
After spending one year in the Theological Seminary he accepted a call to the State-street Church of Rockford, Illinois, and was married to Edith S. Roe, youngest daughter of his former beloved pastor Rev. C.H. Roe, D.D., of Belvidere. The four years of his first pastorate were rich in spiritual uplifting and revival power.
In 1873 he returned to the seminary, and was graduated in 1875. Meantime he served as pastor the little church just organized at Oak Park, Illinois. He served as a pastor in Illinois, Massachusetts, Indiana and Minnesota:
- Rockford, Ill., 1869-1873;
- Oak Park, Ill., 1873-1875;
- Brookline, Mass., 1876-1879;
- First Indianapolis Church, Indianapolis, 1879-1883;
- Belvidere, Ill., 1883-1885;
- St. Paul, Minn., 1885-1888;
- Central Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minn., 1888-1890.
In 1873 he returned to the seminary, and was graduated in 1875. Meantime he served as pastor the little church just organized at Oak Park, Illinois.
In temperament and spirit Mabie was evangelistic, and it was not long till this special power began to be recognized both in his own and in other churches of the state. He had excellent oratorical powers, and many not of his own congregation were drawn to his public services.
In the fall of 1875 he received and accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in Brookline, Mass., which he served until August, 1878.
At the commencement of Brown University in 1878 he preached the annual sermon before the Society of Missionary Inquiry. Early in 1879 accepted a unanimous call to the Fist Baptist Church of Indianapolis, where the blessing of God rested upon his labors abundantly. He came into intimate relations with the Baptist Missionary Union, and for three years was a member of the Executive Committee.
With his ardent temperament and earnest desire to be useful, he entered into all his new duties with the warmest enthusiasm, but they soon proved too much for his strength, and brought on a severe attack of nervous prostration. This was so obstinate that he felt a change was imperative, and in August, 1878, removed West again, and accepted the call extended to him from Indianapolis, Indiana. During this pastorate, while somewhat despondent on account of his health, he had a peculiarly rich and helpful spiritual experience. which gave a new cast to his preaching and practical aims as a minister. It was also a large factor in the recovery of his health.
In 1882 was conferred upon him the title of Doctor of Divinity by his alma mater, the University of Chicago.
In 1884 he went back to Belvidere, his childhood's home, for a season of rest. Here he spent sixteen months, and the Lord gave him a glorious harvest of souls.
In 1888, after a three years' pastorate in St. Paul, Minn., he went to London, England, to attend the World's Missionary Conference. This was one of the turning points in his life, bringing him, as it did, into contact with the great missionary interests of the world; and after spending two years with the Central Church, Minneapolis, on his return he was called, in 1890, to the office of Home Secretary of the American Baptist Missionary Union (1890-1908). Before entering upon his work at home he was sent out to view the mission fields, a tour which occupied eight months, and has been a great help to him and his colleagues ever since. The countries he visited were Japan, China, Burma, Assam, and India (1890,1913,1914). He represented the American Baptist Missionary Union at the Morrison Centenary Conference in Shanghai (1907). He is the author of an illustrated work giving an account of this tour. In Brightest Asia is its title, and it has enjoyed a wide circulation. Since his return from the mission fields he conducted active and successful campaigns in the interest of Foreign missions throughout the Northern States.
Henry Mabie and his family were regular participants at the Northfield Conferences during late spring and summer. The conferences were associated with a host of great and well-known Christian leaders, such as D.L. Moody, Ira D. Sankey, G. Campbell Morgan, John R. Mott, Charles Alexander, H.W. Webb-Peploe, and R.A. Torrey.
Henry Mabie was raised on a farm and liked to be outdoors in nature. He liked horse driving and to work in the garden. He hated tobacco, and always said it was a filthy habit. He would mention it as a vice. George Campbell Morgan was one of Mabie's best friends. Mr. Morgan was a nervous man, with a twitching in one cheek. One day Mr. Morgan was seen with a cigar. In Northfield smoking was not known because it was forbidden. The only remark Henry made on the smoking of Dr. Morgan was to his wife: "I understand Mr. Morgan's physician is of the opinion that an occasional cigar may prove helpful with certain nervous ailments". After a while the people at Northfield seemed to forget all about his smoking. The Auditorium at Northfield were always crowded for Mr. Morgan. This Auditorium was from time to time also Henry Mabie's place to preach.
Christians who knew Henry Mabie personally, acknowledged his brilliant prospects of usefulness. He was a man of ability and culture, of wisdom and grace. Dr. Mabie was a great personality; a man of strong intellect, of great heart, and shepherd spirit. Someone who heard him preached the convention sermon at the Judson Centennial testified: "Henry C. Mabie was blessed with a truly tremendous, towering, indeed mammoth personality". Another Christian once remarked: "And among those not now in the Society's service but still spared to us, the flamingly evangelistic and Christ-loving Henry C. Mabie!"
Henry ranked among the leading American Baptists of his day. Great as a preacher, theologian, writer, and evangelical leader, he was greatest as a missionary statesman and soul-winner.
Henry Mabie is known as a philosophical worker, not so much because he was a master of philosophy, but his mind had the philosophical bent. He delighted to analyze and to explore underlying causes and motives. He was a Christian, who from a Biblical perspective, wanted to get to the meaning of things.
His writings are known for their pointy expressions. For example, he marked Christ's death as 'vicario-vital'. Het also spoke of the "death-resurrection mid-process." The resurrection was in the death, and the death is in the resurrection. This was a 'moral radium' which is released in the believer's spirit when he yields himself to the Christ of the Cross. Jessie Penn-Lewis and T. Austin-Sparks highly valued Mabie's three books on the cross.
On April 30, 1918, at the age of nearly 71, after a life of an abundant fruitful ministry, Henry Mabie died at the home of his daughter in Boston. He was survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters.

Dreaming of Doodles
Amy Ng talks to Lim Heng Swee, a creator of iconic doodles. By Poskod
How far does doodling get you in life? Very far, if you're Lim Heng Swee.
Lim first became popular through his work on Threadless, a t-shirt company based in the USA that features designs created by independent artists. The most popular designs are then upvoted by the online community, with the most successful ones going into production and sold on the website.
"I was searching for opportunities for illustrators online as I was about to move to the UK for a one-year working holiday, and wanted to be able to still draw and make a living that way," says the self-taught artist, who originally studied engineering.
"When I found out that you could earn money illustrating a t-shirt, I was sold – the prize money back then was a big amount: USD2,000 for the winner. I came up with ideas and submitted my work diligently. I created a lot of illustrations on Threadless!"
"After illustrating for Threadless for two years, I discovered Etsy. And I was blown away by the opportunities that it offered artists. I had never ventured into print before, but after seeing how prints were selling pretty well, I decided to open an Etsy shop to sell my prints."
Based in Malaysia, Lim is proof that artists don't have to be limited by geography. His brand, ilovedoodle, is much loved among fans on Threadless and Etsy, the latter on which he has maintained a storefront for the past five years. "With the Etsy shop, I could have a regular income because I could now get my work printed up."
Through his website, Lim sells prints of his popular doodles, as well as t-shirts and tote bags. He also has a following of over 120,000 people on Facebook. Lim's personal mantra is "Doodling a Smile" – and thanks to the internet, his work has brought a smile to many.
The original interview was first published on Pikaland. To read the full interview, click here.
Amy Ng writes on the topic of entrepreneurship, illustration and creativity; deciphering clues and shedding light on the intersection between them at pikaland.com. She's also an adjunct lecturer at The One Academy.

Cleverbot: So you're smarter than me, are you?
User: Depends, what is your definition of 'smart?'.
Cleverbot: I asked you about your criteria for determining intelligence levels and you sidestepped the question, so I don't think it's fair for you to ask the same of me.
User: I apologize, I meant do you define smart as knowing more or by the ability to learn more?
User: Then how can you ask a question when you don't know what question you are asking, you must first ask the right question.
Cleverbot: Because you are here.

With tender leaves, sold prewashed in bags, baby spinach is one of the easiest dark leafy greens to eat. Dark leafy greens are important in your diet: they have a high phytonutrient content, which gives them anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and blood-pressure-lowering properties.
Spinach is an excellent source of antioxidants and (like other dark leafy greens) is loaded with vitamins A and K, and is an excellent source of several other vitamins and minerals as well as vitamin C, folate, calcium, and iron. One cup of raw spinach has only 7 calories; a cup of cooked spinach has 40 calories, 7 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.
You can find spinach throughout the year in your regular grocery store, although you're likely to get the best deals on fresh spinach from March through October when spinach is in season. Look for dark green leaves without signs of yellowing, wilting, or a slimy coating. If you're into gardening, baby spinach is especially quick and easy to grow, and very economical -- a $1-2 seed packet can provide you with fresh spinach for an entire season.
Frozen chopped spinach is handy to keep on hand for when you don't have fresh greens in the house, and is as nutritious (or more so) than fresh, since it's frozen soon after picking. You can use a fine cheese grater to shred frozen spinach into rice and sauces or to top off pizzas. Canned spinach is another option, but be sure to buy no-salt-added.
Store fresh spinach in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Wash fresh spinach before you use it. If you're using whole leaf spinach, one way to wash it is to place the leaves in a large bowl of water, swish them around, lift them out and then discard the water. You can repeat this step until the water is clear. If you bought baby spinach or whole leaf spinach in a bag then it will already have had the sand removed and you just need to rinse it off under running water.
Swap it for other lettuces in your favorite salad recipes, or make it the star of the salad, as in this Spinach Poppyseed Salad. Add a handful to scrambled eggs or to soup. Cook it up in a bit of oil as a non-starchy side dish to whatever else you're serving.
Spinach is high in oxalates, which is a naturally occurring substance found in plants and animals. High concentrations of oxalates can cause them to crystallize. If you have a history of kidney or gallbladder problems you may want to limit the amount of spinach you eat. Oxalates also can interfere with calcium and iron absorption, although less so with the form of iron found in spinach (non-heme iron).
Spinach also contains naturally occurring substances called purines. Excess accumulation of purines in the body can lead to excess accumulation of uric acid. In some people, this can lead to a condition known as gout. If you are prone to gout then you should limit your intake of spinach.
