The Vampire Diaries 3.15 "All My Children"
Reviews, TV
The title promises this as the most soapy episode of the season, and it certainly was. Not that the usual breakneck pace was slowed down at all, as about 500 things happened by the closing credits, they just weren't always the best possible things.
As I keep droning on about, I feel that time displaced vampires revived unceremoniously by Elijah from anywhere from 100 to 1000 years ago would have a little modern day adjustment problem. The show doesn't seem to agree, though they are rather playing them as monsters whose morals are incomprehensible to us. That's sort of the Anne Rice approach to all her ancient Egyptians and Greeks and Romans, and maybe it makes sense. So among this bunch Elijah and Klaus are the most sophisticated (because they've been awake the longest), followed by Rebekah (who's still a teenager after all this time), Kol (who would probably be an a-hole at any time) and Finn (who's stuck 1000 years ago still feeling the pain of being changed into something evil by psycho witch mom).
Mommy Direst, on the other hand, has had her 1000 years "on the other side" to consider what she's done, watch all her children did, and rue the day she started it all. So she and Finn proceed with their plan to kill everyone, while Elijah (ever the smartest) tries to figure out just what went down at the grand soiree and how much trouble he and his siblings are really in. If morality comes into this (not the kind we might subscribe to), it's this question: does mom have the right to undo what she's wrought, regardless of the preferences of her vamp monster babies?
Elena doesn't seem to think she does, despite the pressure that Damon and Stefan put on her to just let the infanticide pact play out. Rebekah is still mad over missing her prom date, and Klaus is rather thankfully nearly off canvas for the whole episode. That's probably the best development of having all the Originals back. That and not having to deal with his stupid pack of werewolf hybrids anymore.
Elena's chemistry with Elijah is palpable … the two seem to have an eternal innate understanding, that may have something to do with her doppelganger legacy (speaking of which, show, it's past time for her double Katherine to crop up again). She definitely wants him to live, even though he's the only monster who knows what a monster he is, and feels bad for threatening her life in order to protect his own.
On other fronts, Bonnie and Abby don't fare so well allying themselves with Esther, especially Abby, but who didn't see that coming? Caroline uses her sexy wiles to continue to fuck with Klaus, which is always fun. And the brothers Salvatore have another heart-to-heart about Elena, where they admit the mutual love fest that we've all seen unfolding week after week, as well as the knowledge that Stefan is fully himself again, finally.
By the end, there are deaths (including probably Alaric, AGAIN), but not of any of the pesky Originals, dammit! Fair enough, let's see if our main cast can work out some of their own issues without too much outside interference for once.

1. Act "as if." A recent study showed that the brain waves generated and neurotransmitters released when someone visualizes sitting on a beach (for example) are exactly the same as the brain waves of a person who is actually sitting on that beach. Your mind (and the Universe) doesn't recognize the difference between what you perceive as "real" and "imaginary." It only reads vibration. The easiest way to attract something into your experience is to evoke the FEELING and VIBRATION of already having it, and then hold your attention to that feeling as long as possible, preferably until it becomes second nature. Feeling as if what you want is already here may seem like a exercise in delusion, but remember, reality is pliable. Your physical reality is constantly changing and conforming to the energy frequency you are holding.
2. Role play. When someone recently asked the entertainer Lady Gaga how she became so famous so quickly, she responded, "I knew I was famous even before anyone ever knew me." She would feel, think, and act like people she admired even before the physical manifestation of her own fame.
Who are some people that inspire you? Who would you want to be like? It doesn't have to be anyone "famous" – just someone that you admire and has had an impact on you. There are many archetypes for you to choose from. Try to get out of your own head a little bit and think and feel more like the person that inspires you. How would they think about a situation? What would they do? Aside from being a fun exercise, this can help you shift your perceptions and create new energy patterns.
3. Do what inspires you. As cliche as it sounds, some people have no idea what inspires them. They are so stuck in a rut of a 9 to 5 job, daily responsibilities, and every day issues, that they don't even have the time or energy to think about "inspiration" – the concept seems too abstract and fanciful. But every day, the Universe gives you hints and clues as to what sort of things might make you happy. Carve out even 15 minutes every day to do something, anything that makes your heart sing. Meditate. Take a bath. Listen to your favorite song. Reconnect with someone that you have forgotten. 15 minutes of being in a state of allowing a day, done every day, will at least open a window where you're allowing the Universe a chance to please you and create an opening for bigger doses of inspiration to sneak in.
4. Think back to when you were a kid. Seriously. Before you had all the problems, issues, hassles, and aggravations of being an adult with so-called "real" responsibilities, what were you like? What sort of things fascinated you? What made you feel excited? What did you dream about? Kids are generally less disconnected from Source energy and still remember what it feels like to be loving and loved at all times. They are still excited, open, curious, adventurous, and honest about how they feel on a daily basis. Would it be such a bad thing to give up being an adult for a moment and actually feel some of those things again?
5. Appreciate. The Universe LOVES it when you appreciate something. Anything. It is the absolute clearest signal you can offer that you want more of whatever it is that you are appreciating. Along with joy and love, the feeling of appreciation has the highest energy vibration on the emotional scale. Energy immediately begins to coalesce around whatever situation, person, thing, or circumstance you are holding as your object of attention, and begins to shape your future moments to bring you more experiences with a similar energy frequency.

Find Online Data And File Security With The Use Of Office 365
Office 365 is the latest version of the office utility package of Microsoft, which has revolutionized the way things worked, by introducing online file sharing and protection in versatile ways. The tool is web-based and app based both, and can be installed and used in any mobile, tablet, or computer.
Creating, editing, moving, copying and sharing of files and documents were always possible in multiple ways using other versions of Microsoft Office. However, this version is smarter from the aspect of protecting files too in much sophisticated ways. While you may now keep all files in the cloud and use a variety of apps in the cloud using G Suite you may also combine the power of Office 365 to enable high-level protection for all files containing sensitive data in the cloud too. Therefore, with the synced function of G Suite and Office 365, business handling and file sharing can be so simple, secure and efficient.
Why would you like to protect a file?
Sometimes you share and store on cloud very important and crucial business data which is sensitive. It may contain such information, leaking of which can be fatal for the business and for many others. Protecting that data becomes necessary.
How to protect a file?
In that case, the best you would do earlier was to password protect those important files so that none can unlock and see the contents inside them. Now you have better options. You may encrypt a file too, which makes it practically impossible to hack open.
G Suite users generally feel sure about the high-level security of their files online. They even create G Suite backup using services like Spinbackup for enhanced surety of never losing their files. On top of that, if you infuse the high-level security of Office 365 backup with it, then things get to the most reliable level of protection and makes a great safe environment for secure data backup and maintenance.
Encryption and Office 365
Encryption is the process of converting data or information into code with a program, which program only can be used to change back that code to the information in usable form. Office 365 has this feature in it to encrypt any document and file so very easily. An encrypted file cannot be accessed or used by anyone and no information can be stolen from it, see from it, or the file cannot be used in any way in this form. When the file is changed back to usable form, it is called decryption. A decrypted file can then be normally used.
Office 365 can protect your files online
You can now protect your files both offline on your local drive and online while you are sharing them, or while maintaining them on the cloud. This is possible in a number of ways. Here are the protective features for files you may use in Office 365:
Convert a file to read-only mode. The file will only be readable. Nobody can edit it.
Encryption is one of the smartest hard-core protection that saves the file from any unauthorized access a lock s contents within.
The amount of content in the document, which is editable, can be limited partwise. Only the part you allow for editing may get edited, leaving the rest of the document protected and read-only.
The document can be protected with a digital signature. This way the document cannot be used in a wrong way.
Marking a document final is another feature in Office 365, which makes the document look like it was never again accessed and changed since it was saved the last time.
Some of these features were present in the older version of Microsoft Office. However, in 365 the specialty is that the feature of marking a file read-only and marking it final are given as two separate independent features, none depending on one another.
How to protect a Word document?
While working with a word document you would like to use the following steps to protect it in various ways as you share it online. First, you will have to open the document, and then click on the File menu, and the click on Protect document button. You will get a menu.
Select always open read-only, to make the file read-only. Saving it in this mode and then closing and opening again will change the things. Every time the document would be opened, a prompt would ask if you want to continue opening it in the read-only mode. Clicking yes would open the document.
If you want to encrypt the file, you should open it is edit mode first. Go to protect document menu from the file menu. Select here, Always open read-only. Click again in that state at the protect document button. Now select Encrypt with the password. Then you get the encrypt window where you have to create a password. Save the document and close it to complete the process.
Above-mentioned are the two most used processes for protection of files online. Together with that, if you also take time to time Office 365 backup then your file system can practically be indestructible and hack-proof.

COVID-19 and communities of color reveal persistent disparities
The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected health systems all around the world. News after news report highlights the impact this pandemic has had on communities globally. As of today, the United States has the most cases of COVID-19 in the world. And that number is increasing day by day. While COVID-19 is spreading at different rates in some states, new data shows that the disease is affecting some groups at disproportionate rates.
An overview of health
disparities in the United States
Over the years, the health of most Americans, as well as their access to health care, has improved. However, this has not been the case for all groups living in the United States. Historically, minority groups like Black/African-Americans, Hispanics and American Indian/Alaska Natives, have had worse health outcomes than non-Hispanic whites. Accessing quality health care has also been a big challenge for these groups.
There are many reasons behind this, including social, economic and environmental factors just to name a few. Together these factors make up what are known as social determinants of health — conditions in which you're born and grow, work, live and age that affect your health throughout your life.
COVID-19 and
challenges to the health of minorities
Multiple reports have highlighted that there are serious disparities (differences) in how COVID-19 affects some racial groups in the United States, and specifically the mortality (death) rates of communities where Black/African-Americans, Hispanics and American Indian/Alaska Natives live. This is especially concerning for pregnant women living in these communities. These health disparities puts them at risk of health complications and COVID-19 presents a new challenge for them. A recent report by the Kaiser Family Foundation details:
trends in COVID-19 related deaths. As of April 6, 2020, Blacks accounted
for 59% of all COVID-19 deaths in the District of Columbia. In Louisiana, they
accounted for over 70% of COVID-19 deaths. Unfortunately, deaths related to
COVID-19 are affecting a higher number of Blacks in these areas.
disparities exist. Even in areas where the Black community is the minority,
they account for the majority of those dying from COVID-19. In Michigan, Blacks
account for 14% of the total state population, yet they accounted for 41% of
total COVID-19 deaths as of April 6, 2020.
and financial fears play a role in access to care. Compared to Whites,
Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to be uninsured. Although legislation was
passed to help uninsured individuals access testing for COVID-19, getting
tested and treatment for this disease may be more challenging for communities
of color. For example, they may be unaware of these services and have fears
about the costs if they need hospital care.
As of today, Hispanics in New York City make up about 29% of the city's population, but they account for nearly 34% of people who have died of COVID-19. Because Blacks and Hispanics experience higher rates of chronic health conditions like obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, when compared to non-Hispanic whites, experts agree that the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting these minority groups the hardest. Given that a woman's immune system is weakened during pregnancy, pregnant women who are minorities and have a chronic health condition may be particularly vulnerable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) people with these conditions are at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
April is National Minority Health Month—a special time for us to acknowledge the barriers and inequities that continue to affect minority groups, including moms and babies of color, and what's needed to change that. March of Dimes will keep fighting to level the playing field so that all moms and babies are healthy.
We are monitoring the spread of COVID-19, around the U.S.
and world. Health officials are actively collecting data to better understand
the disease and report on that information every day. We're here to support you
and your family with the information you need to know during this global


For all of us to be successful, we need to build perfect quality. As Nexteer's Quality Policy states, "Take Action for Quality; it's everyone's job." Suppliers shall have a commitment to total quality, with subsequent planning and actions that drive for perfection. Contained herein are the documents that will assist in meeting our quality requirements.


'He's very proud of it,' Agnes looked out the kitchen window, sipping from her G & T.
Her friend, Winnie, peered out alongside her.
There were a series of bumps and bangs from the skewed wooden shed, before Archie emerged from the door.
Archie threw excess wood and tools in a heap outside the shed and stood looking at his creation.
Not bad at all, he thought, for a first attempt. The angled walls, the imbalanced roof, the squint window, they all added to the character.
Now he had his own space, somewhere to escape to when Winnie came round for afternoon drinks with Agnes. A lick of paint, a bit of furniture, he could retire to the shed and watch the game on the portable TV with a cold beer.
A squirrel scurried up the tree next to the shed and hopped onto the slanted roof.
Archie heard the ominous creak.
After the dust settled, Agnes poured Winnie a top up. They watched Archie pick himself up and dust himself off, before charging after the small squirrel, profanity turning the air blue.
The continuing adventures of Agnes and Archie can be found here: THE AGNES AND ARCHIE STORIES.
A very chuckle-worthy take Iain. I'm guessing Archie is Frank Spencer's Scottish cousin?
Something like that, although I imagine without the innocent charm!
Oh this was great Iain. Squirrel BBQ I think!
LOL. Thats got to one of the best stories!
Yes. One of the best stories!
Back to the drawing board, Iain?
One thing about Archie, he won't give up!
Oh poor Archie! I'll bet Agnes and Winnie will never let him live this one down. A squirrel!
Thanks Janet – you know Agnes will keep reminding him!
That's one clever squirrel, trained by the wife?
Iain, my first though when I posted the photo was, what a lovely she-shed it would make. I guess we all want a place to call our own. I just know I won't let Archie build mine . Enjoyed your take on the prompt.
Thanks Susan – keep Archie away from any DIY work!
😹😹😹😹😹😹 Good one! It takes all kinds of nuts.
Thank you – Archie is very nutty!
😁😁😁.. I kept laughing and forwarded to my son to enjoy the read.
This one brought out the laughs.
This slanted structure could not take a squirrel's weight and came crumbling down? Well! this may keep him busy for several summers. A very unique take on the prompt.
Thank you – he'll definitely try again!
Ha ha ha, his man cave caved in!

Bahrain National Day – December 16, 2023
Bahrain National Day is on 16 and 17 December. That's two designated days to celebrate the gem that is this island kingdom. In 1971, Bahrain acquired independence after a long era of British rule. It would be the beginning of a prosperous and peaceful chapter for Bahrain — a success story scripted for and by Bahrainis. Naturally, it's a day that's very close to every Bahraini's heart. It is a public holiday when schools and virtually all businesses are closed.
History of Bahrain National Day
The Kingdom of Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf. Bahrain comprises a beautiful archipelago of 50 natural islands and 33 artificial ones. Together with several other Arabian Gulf territories, the island was a British Protectorate in the 1960s. According to the Protectorate Treaty, the British would offer protection to Bahrain in the event of attacks by sea. The catch? Bahrain was forbidden to build international relations with any other nations without the consent of Britain. The agreement effectively allowed Britain indirect but near-absolute control over the island nation.
World War II brought sweeping changes to the global landscape, and Bahrain was no exception. Discontent over British rule had been simmering for a while but would soon tip over. Numerous protests took place. Conflict and riots became more commonplace. On August 15, 1971, the two countries finally signed an agreement that freed Bahrain from being a British Protectorate. Four months later, Britain left, and Bahrain became an independent country.
Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa was Bahrain's first emir and ascended the throne when the country gained independence. A king beloved by his people, he was responsible for introducing numerous reforms that transformed the economy and stability of the country. Bahrain rose to become the financial hub of the Arabian Gulf during the emir's 38-year reign.
It's no surprise why the people of Bahrain believe true independence came when the emir ascended the throne on December 16, 1971. Despite Britain officially handing over the reins much before in August, the emir's rule meant Bahrain as a nation had symbolically come into its own. And the celebrations continue every December with fireworks, shows, and a range of cultural events.

Bahrain National Day FAQs
How does Bahrain celebrate National Day?
Schools, public offices, and most businesses shut for two days. The kingdom celebrates with cultural events, laser shows, exhibitions, and fireworks.
What kind of country is the Kingdom of Bahrain?
The Kingdom of Bahrain is a Middle Eastern archipelago in the Persian Gulf, and a Western-friendly Muslim country.
Why is Bahrain important to the U.K.?
Bahrain is important to the U.K. because it is critical to the protection of Gulf shipping lanes, and with its religious mix, as well as its West-friendly stance, it is of strategic importance to its region, and to the U.K.
How To Celebrate Bahrain National Day
Learn a few words in Bahraini Arabic
If you can't be in Bahrain today, celebrate the country by learning the language. Languages are excellent windows to different cultures. Although Bahrain's society is famously cosmopolitan, its culture is mostly Arabic-based.
Sway to Khaleeji music
Celebrate Bahrain National Day with a musical immersion. Listen to Khaleeji music — indigenous music popular in Bahrain and the Arab World in general. From bedouin origins to contemporary pop, Khaleeji has come a long way.
Gorge on biryani
Biryani is bae! It's a seasoned rice dish prepared with lamb or chicken. A household favorite in most Arab countries and India, the delicious biryani is the ultimate celebration food.
5 Facts About Manama That Will Blow Your Mind
Aptly named
Bahrain's beautiful capital city is Manama, meaning "the place of dreams" in Arabic.
Home to the biggest Oreo
Manama broke the Guinness World Record for the world's most gigantic Oreo cookie ever baked at 161 pounds and 13 ounces.
An ancient city
It is so ancient that the city finds mention in Islamic books of the 1300s.
A repository of Arab Culture
In 2012, the Arab League designated Manama as the capital of Arab Culture.
Ethnically diverse
Manama is home to Iraqis, Indians, Iranians, Europeans, and Saudi Arabians, to name a few.
Why We Love Bahrain National Day
It celebrates freedom
Freedom is always a cause for celebration. Across political and social contexts, the right to self-determination is one everyone can get behind. And that's why we celebrate with Bahrain today.
National pride and heritage
Every year, the kingdom throws a grand party. People feast, make merry, and attend cultural events. It's a fantastic day to celebrate the remarkable journey of a small island nation.
Spectacular fireworks
Fireworks bring joy to everyone, both the young and the elderly. If you're in Bahrain, the spectacular fireworks display is a joy to watch.

If they seem up for it, I like to recount the tale of a client I worked with who had designed a logo for an outreach campaign all about goal- setting, with a logo they thought looked like two targets side by side, both with prominent bulls-eyes. They were a non- profit with a tiny budget, but they managed to put together enough money to have two focus groups with their target audience to "sniff test" the logo—just to make sure it wasn't a disaster.
Uh oh. The logo might have looked like two targets to my client, but their ideal audience had a very different interpretation. Lucky for my client, they had invested a little in testing the logo and saved a lot on creating products with a confusing or misleading logo! They went back to the drawing board for revisions, and ended up with a logo that resonated clearly with their audience.
Research doesn't have to be a huge investment, but if you are making any decisions, it is almost always a smart investment.


installation of light-controlled pedestrian crossings.
addition of advanced stop boxes for people on bikes.
changes to kerb lines and removal of 2 tree pits as indicated in the drawing.
extension of broken yellow lines including parking removal.
changes to lighting, road markings, and signage.
The changes are expected to improve safety and traffic flow at this intersection and would accommodate for additional demand resulting from changes to the Panmure roundabout and construction of the Eastern busway.
Crossings and new advanced stop boxes would also improve access for people walking and cycling near Panmure town centre.

« DUBAI AND ALAN REVISITED
AYURVEDA YOGA VILLA,WAYANAD, KERALA »
We had a good 2hrs 50min flight with Emirates to Mumbai and after an hour and a half taxi ride we arrived at the Taj Vivanta hotel in Cuffe Parade. We are two hours ahead of Dubai and two hours behind Perth.
We met a nice young Indian who lives in Mumbai and he gave us some good recommendations for restaurants. We tried one that night – the "Santoor" where we hd an excellent meal of tandoori chicken, aloo jeera and delicious mixed vegetables in a spicy tomato sauce.
The crackers and fireworks for Diwali had already started and there were a few loud crackers during the night. Diwali was the 13th November and the hotel came and gave us sweets in the morning.
At the Gateway of India a lot of Indians were enjoying their Diwali holiday and we walked past the Taj Palace on the Arabian sea.We had a bit of lunch at "Leopold Cafe" which was targeted in the Mumbai bombings a few years ago and which was made famous in the book "Shantaram". The food however was nothing special and it has been run by the same Iranian family for many years.
We caught a non air conditioned old fiat taxi to the suburb of Bandra over an hour away where we walked around the markets and had a lime/soda drink which is very refreshing. In Dubai it is made also with mint making it very tasty. As the taxi driver said there was "very traffic" because of the holiday with everyone out and about.
We went to "Khyber at Fort" for dinner where a lot of local families – Grandparents, children and grandchildren were enjoying Diwali. It was a very atmospheric restaurant.
We went back to our 9th floor room and watched the fireworks exploding all around us.
We took an old Fiat taxi with an archaic meter to Bandra. At the destination the taxi driver then ignored the meter and got out a piece of paper with fares from and to various places. It was over an hour's trip and the charge was only $4.50 so we thought that was fair!
In front of the hotel they had done a beautiful decoration with flowers and petals for Diwali and inside the hotel there were beautiful displays of various patterns of coloured sand and flowers on the floors.
Near the Gateway area and I had some trousers shortened for $1.50 at the tiniest stall on Colaba Causeway with a nice man sitting behind his old sewing machine and clothes piled high behind him. We had a reasonable coffee at Starbucks which is very ornately decorated and comfortable and air conditioned. The temperature outside was quite pleasant – about 32 degrees.
Mumbai is a contrast of rich and poor, opulence and squalor but it is a very vibrant city with people trying to eke out an existence with anything they have. If they have a brush they want to shine your shoes even if they are sneakers but you have to give them full marks for trying. There are very tall, upmarket appartment buildings next to slum areas. There is a lot of building of high rise flats and they hope to be rid of the slum areas in 10years time. Apparently a lot of the people from the slums are moved into the flats but feel isolated and miss the village atmosphere of the slums and some move back into them. I suppose they will work it out eventually as long as they have gardens or places where people can gather and feel part of a community (like they have organized in China).
We walked down Mahatma Gandhi drive to the David Sassoon library which is like stepping back into the Victorian era. We were allowed inside to have a look around and told not to make a noise in the reading room although the sign said "members only".
Next door was the upmarket Westside department store which is only small but has a good wine section and small supermarket and where we bought some good quality Tshirts and cotton clothing for $10 each.
We decided to see one temple and it was the Mahalakshmi temple which is apparently one of the holiest and the place to go at Diwali. The main day to celebrate Diwali was the previous day so we thought that it wouldn't be so busy the next day – WRONG! There were tens of thousands of people queued up to give their offerings. We saw a small queque and thought it didn't look too bad. If we had known the extent of the queue which wound it's way up, down and around the alleyways we would have forgone the experience. Women were lined up on one side (and were ushered along first) and men on the other side. I took a photo well outside the temple of the lines of people and was nearly pounced upon by two policemen who told me not to take photos. I of course agreed and said that there were no signs against taking photos and that I would not be taking any more.
We were the only westerners there so were great objects of interest. We had to take our shoes off hundreds metres before we got into the temple and instead of me having spiritual thoughts as I was swept along, all I could think of was when could I get into the shower and scrub my feet! If I had wanted to opt out there was no way I could do so with the crush of women around me especially on the final lap to the inner sanctum of the temple. It was quite claustrophobic for me and normally it doesn't worry me. My main thought was to get out and rescue Maurice who does suffer from clautrophobia and who I knew wouldn't make it into the temple. When I got near the altar there were about six swamis dressed in orange loin cloths collecting all the offerings and one spotted me and motioned me to come forward which was a feat in itself. He then blessed me and handed me two sticky rice sweets. The one thing I don't like is having sticky hands so I generously gave them to two deserving little children as I ran back along the line to find Maurice. He was nearly at panic stations so he managed to escape a bit further on with guards trying to stop him who thought he was trying to push his way forward! It was an experience – not to be repeated.
We caught a taxi back to collect my trousers and I did wonder if he would ever find them again but he brought them out like a rabbit from a hat and they had been done well.
We then walked back to our hotel on "Cuffe Parade" – had a long shower and a whisky in that order. We got talking to Evarist the doorman at the hotel who was a lovely chap. He told us that he had worked at the hotel since day 1 – 40 years ago and that the hotel was situated on reclaimed land. He was going to retire in April and visit his sisters in Melbourne and Sydney.
He recommended that we go and see a church past the military barracks which were close by and which was a memorial to the British soldiers who had died in the Afghan wars. He also told us that Cuffe Parade was so named because the German and Italian prisoners were marched along the street in handcuffs during the Second World War.
If you were walking from the hotel the staff would give you bottles of water which was a nice touch as well as complimentary fruit every day.
We found a lovely vegetarian restaurant called "Chetana" for dinner that night. We had eaten there last time we were in Mumbai and I couldn't remember the name of it but we managed to find it again. They have a bookshop attached to the restaurant so I bought a nice looking cookbook for $6. I had a delicious Thali which they keep replenishing when the small dish was finished. At every restaurant that we visited we were given delicious little onions or fried lentils as an appetizer. The same was true in Dubai where we were given either hoummos and bread or fresh spinach leaves and cheese and bread at the Iranian restaurant at no extra cost.
We had not arranged any food for the 22hour overnight journey so asked the hotel to prepare some sandwiches and juice for the trip. We asked for three sandwiches and apple juice and thought it was a bit expensive when it turned out to be more than the train fare! On inspection they had given us six sandwiches, chips and drinks – we weren't going to go hungry!
We had transport organized to the station about an hour away for which we were very grateful. We had experienced Indian railway stations before and thought it a good move as the station was teeming with people, luggage and goods of every kind.
Our driver was very nice pointing out things along the way. He organised the porters and stayed with us until the train was unlocked and we could make our way to our airconditioned carriage. There was no first class carriage so it was 2AC instead. The airconditioning worked so well we needed jumpers. The journey began on time which was a good sign. We had a little family of husband, wife and small son opposite us for a few hours and then we had the compartment to ourselves for most of the night. We had a young couple join us somewhere through the night.
When we left Mumbai the scenery was very similar for many hours – fields of grain of some kind with a few grass huts dotted amongst them and it was much drier than further south. This then made way to quite dense jungle. On waking the scenery was quite different with lots of lush looking palm trees and rivers and small villages along the way. It was pleasantly cool early in the morning standing by the open door.
Photography from the compartment was impossible due to the dirty windows.
A nice I.T. chap I met by the door gave us his timetable so that we could see how many stops we had until we got off as there were no announcements. We had made 19 stops from Goa and a number more from when we left Mumbai. It really was the milk run. The train service was good with a chap coming around before meal time to see if we wanted to order breakfast, lunch or dinner and then all during the day and in the morning there was a constant steam of men walking up and down the train announcing the sale of chai, coffee, biscuits and all sorts of Indian foods, the names of most we couldn't recognise.
We had enough sandwiches to keep us going so only bought cups of very sweet chai or coffee. We didn't get much sleep as the carriages were very busy with people getting on and off most of the night.
The houses looked very neat on the whole in the south and my I.T. friend told me that most people paint their houses after the monsoon rains. They do like a rather bright and gaudy colours for the outside of their houses.

July is Disability Pride Month, so why does nobody know?
Lilly Keller, Arts and Life Editor|July 26, 2022
Maya Oclassen
Since unofficially commencing in 1990, Disability Pride Month has struggled to garner the same recognition of other movements like LGBTQ Pride.
While July is often associated with independence and freedom, it also marks the start of Disability Pride Month, a national celebration recognizing diversity and uniqueness within the disabled community.
The term disability is purposefully broad, referring to any physical, mental, cognitive or developmental condition that interferes with or impairs an individual's ability to engage in specific tasks or undertake day-to-day activities and interactions, according to Merriam Webster.
Over 61 million adults live with a disability in the United States, equating to 26 percent of the population.
Unofficially commencing in July 1990, Disability Pride month began as a celebration after President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act, providing individuals with disabilities protection of their civil rights. The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability in employment, public transportation and public accommodations.
Despite the celebration remaining unofficial, the observation gained public attention in 2015 after New York Mayor Bill de Blasio declared July Disability Pride Month in honor of the bill's 25 anniversary. In the years following de Blasio's commencement, cities all across the nation began hosting parades and festivals to recognize and celebrate the culture, experience, and contribution that individuals with disabilities provide to society.
In the five years since Disability Pride Month began, recognition has slowly seeped in. Yet, the celebration remains underground in relation to more widespread celebrations such as Pride Month and Black History Month.
DePaul Public Policy professor Kelly Tzoumis explains that the lack of recognition for DPM stems from a deficiency in understanding the concept of disability.
"Pride is well known; I mean the LGBTQ movement has been very successful across the world. They made tremendous strides in securing civil liberties and civil rights. Disability has not," Tzoumis said. "So, I think the issue when you combine those two is that people are unaware that disability is a diversity issue. They view it as a medical issue."
Since ADA passed, strides have been made for disabled individuals to access public accommodations such as curb ramps, accessible parking, closed caption and relayed service.
Yet, the act still possesses limitations such as how easily lack of ADA compliance can slip beneath the radar. A majority of the brunt of its enforcement continuing to fall on the shoulders of disabled individuals.
"People don't understand disability. They do not understand it. It's not something to be pitied, it's not something that is only a medical issue or should only be seen as a problem," Tzoumis said.
Since joining DePaul's faculty, Tzoumis, alongside her student-led group Accessible Futures, has worked tirelessly to implement support structures and accessible curriculum for disabled students and faculty.
Throughout her 18 years at DePaul, Tzoumis has created opportunities for disabled students, such as reconnecting disabled alumni within the federal government with current disabled students to aid in future employment.
Most recently, Tzoumis has aided in implementing three new courses at DePaul. Available to all undergraduates starting this fall, these courses center around disability justice, rights, and policy. She expresses the importance of these courses being integrated into the liberal studies domain one day.
"Disability is a diversity, equity and inclusion issue. Unfortunately, disability is often forgotten about. We remember race, we remember gender, we remember ethnicity, but we forgot disability. Disability is in the DEI boat, but unfortunately, I think we are in the back of the boat," Tzoumis said.
Euan Hagues, DePaul geography professor and Director of Public Service, explained the importance of allowing students access to understanding both disability and the shortcomings within the ADA.
"One of the things we are seeing in popular culture right now is a growing recognition of disabilities, so I think that has definitely increased. Yet, a lot of people still think the 'problem' of disability was fixed under the Americans with Disabilities Act," Hagues said.
In the nearly 33 years since the commencement of Disability Pride Month, education remains a critical pillar in promoting acceptance and understanding of disability's role within diversity.
Hagues expresses optimism that these courses centered on disability will increase change in perspective and perception of disabled individuals and the innovation of accessibility.
"I have hope that this month will be recognized like other heritage months, and hopefully our courses will encourage greater recognition," Hagues said.
University of Miami sophomore Rebecca Knight believes the month lacks recognition due to the country's inability to acknowledge more than one structural problem at once.
"I think it's lesser known because Americans can only focus on a few oppressed groups at a time," Knight said. "Right now, we are focusing on women, Black Americans and the LGBTQ+ community. I think a lot of Americans think that is enough even though it wouldn't be hard to include disabled people in activism."
Despite Disability Pride Month flying under the radar locally, it's also important to note a deficiency within the acknowledgment by influential brands, which possess the ability to yield awareness.
For the past 19 years, Chicago has hosted its own Disability Pride parade with an emphasis on changing the way individuals think about and characterize disability and to end and evaluate the internalized shame amongst disabled individuals.
Some ways to celebrate and further emphasize the importance of this month include understanding ableism and its impact on disabled individuals, learning about the importance of using identity-first language and donating to organizations rooted in helping the fight for disability justice, such as Open Doors New York, and All Wheels Up.
While July may be coming to a close, the month represents the importance of celebrating and honoring the disabled community, the significance of disability rights and why disabled voices must be heard.
"Disability is not an afterthought, just as it is not a dirty word, it is not a word to be embarrassed about. The population needs an understanding of disability and that nothing about us is without us," Tzoumis said.

Hi. I'm here. I'm healthy. I'm happy.
Ever since moving to LA, I've felt a little awkward whenever people ask me how I'm doing. Do I tell them the truth? Where do I start? Because the truth is, I was completely unprepared - emotionally, mentally - for my move to LA. I underestimated how comfortable I was in San Francisco, and I foolishly thought that closing the distance in my relationship would trigger an immediate and lasting happiness that would translate into all parts of my life.
It's no secret that the past year and a half have been difficult for me. Moving to LA had the unintended effect of plunging me into a deep and abiding depression that's been difficult to crawl out of. At some point after moving, I lost the sense of autonomy and independence that I'd cultivated during my time in San Francisco, and I fell back into old, immature habits of attaching my happiness to Chris - whether he was spending enough time with me, lavishing me with attention, being available whenever I needed him. Even though I knew I was being unreasonable, I was insatiable - I demanded more from him, needed more from him, I soaked up his attention like a sponge and still found myself wanting. It took a long time for me to realize that what I should have been doing is demanding more from myself.
How cliché is it to admit that I had to relearn how to love myself before I could accept that Chris' love was enough? I suppose it's easy to forget when depression sits in your brain like a dense fog, clouding all rational judgement. I've had to teach myself how to start from scratch and cultivate a new identity, an improved LA iteration of myself that built upon who I was in San Francisco.
Recently I've felt like I've turned a corner and have discovered how to be happy in this new life, in this new city. I've taken more time to discover the nooks and crannies of LA, and have learned how to appreciate the ample space and sunshine that only LA affords. I've made strides in reconnecting with long lost friends and acquaintances, and I've made a concerted effort to incorporate outside social interaction into my life on a daily basis. I've started personal training to kickstart a gym habit in LA - something I've been sorely lacking since moving. Most importantly, I've learned how to find happiness from within, which is so much more satisfying than depending on others to hand happiness to you.
I'm optimistic about the next few months and what they have in store. And I look forward to the day, hopefully in the not-so-distant future, when someone asks me how I'm doing and I can say with complete confidence that I'm doing great. I'm doing just fine.

Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells

Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results in increased impact of bacterial infections, including those by H. parasuis. However, the mechanisms involved in host innate responses towards H. parasuis and their implications in a co-infection with influenza virus are unknown. Therefore, the ability of a non-virulent H. parasuis serovar 3 (SW114) and a virulent serovar 5 (Nagasaki) strains to interact with porcine bone marrow dendritic cells (poBMDC) and their modulation in a co-infection with swine influenza virus (SwIV) H3N2 was examined. At 1 hour post infection (hpi), SW114 interaction with poBMDC was higher than that of Nagasaki, while at 8 hpi both strains showed similar levels of interaction. The co-infection with H3N2 SwIV and either SW114 or Nagasaki induced higher levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-10 compared to mock or H3N2 SwIV infection alone. Moreover, IL-12 and IFN-α secretion differentially increased in cells co-infected with H3N2 SwIV and Nagasaki. These results pave the way for understanding the differences in the interaction of non-virulent and virulent strains of H. parasuis with the swine immune system and their modulation in a viral co-infection. © 2012 Mussá et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Several St. Landry Parish towns prohibit fireworks. There are free fireworks shows in Krotz Springs and Eunice on Monday.(Photo: File photo)
Americans have been popping fireworks for the Fourth of July since 1777 in Philadelphia, but residents of St. Landry Parish should check with their local municipalities because where and when you can shoot fireworks can depend on which town you live in.
For the rural areas of the parish, it's legal to shoot fireworks as long as you're not in the streets, according to Maj. Eddie Thibodeaux with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff Department.
Most of the towns allow its citizens to shoot the popular small explosives before a certain time in the evening, such as in Eunice where the deadline is 10:30 p.m., but in Opelousas, Grand Coteau, Arnaudville and Washington, fireworks are prohibited.
If you do decide to pop your own fireworks, Thibodeaux suggested reading the labels first to see how they are supposed to be used.
"For one thing, alcohol and fireworks do not mix," Thibodeaux said. "Save your alcohol for after the show."
He offers the following advice:
Always have adult supervision, and never give fireworks to a child.
Have a bucket of water or a charged waterline ready, just in case it lands in your neighbor's yard.
Always obey local laws regarding the use of fireworks.
Never have fireworks wars.
If you are the one lighting the fireworks, think about wearing safety glasses.
Always use fireworks outside, and never from inside the house.
Don't carry fireworks in your pockets just in case a spark gets to them.
There are also two free fireworks shows to be held in the parish this year in Eunice and Krotz Springs.
Eunice has hosted a fireworks show for nearly 30 years. This year's 30-minute show begins at 9 p.m. Monday at the Eunice Recreation Complex at 461 Sittig St., and is designed by former Eunice mayor Kenneth Peart.
In Krotz Springs, there's "Fireworks on the river," which is held at Nall Park on Front Street along the Atchafalaya River. Music and entertainment begin at 6:30 p.m. and the fireworks are lit at around 9 p.m. Monday.
Fourth of July Fireworks

Q: How to download and where to save a style package I´m new to Latex. I use Texmaker with Miktex and Texworks.
I have to submit an article to the American Mathematical Monthly.
I´d like to know, step-by-step how to download and where to save  the files I need to use a new package that is not stored.
Concretely, I have to use a template from:
https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pubs/monthly-template.tex
and from
https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pubs/maa-monthly.sty
I go to both urls but I don´t know what do after that.
Both are the urls to which The Amercian MAthematical Monbthly send me to be able to use their template.
Thanks a lot.

A: Semi-Short answer:

*

*What you need to know as a beginer:

LaTeX is a typesetting system that can be considered a "programming language for pdf (and not only) production". You can use many variations of this language like pdflatex, XeLaTeX, lualatex etc. In your case the file "monthly-template-1.tex" of the first link is a file that can be compiled with pdflatex and so you dont really care at this moment on XeLaTeX or other variations.

*What files you need for your project.

The most of the files that you will use in your project are already installed on your PC during your MikTeX instalation. You don't have to worry of where they are stored or of their content. MikTeX will find them and use them as needed.
There are some additional files that used often. These have the extension
a. "cls" and are used in documentclass command [The first command of a latex document that determines the basic structure of the document (like book, or article or whatever... but in many cases an article or a book is already defined by TeX core and you don't need such a file)]. This file (if you don't use a standard document class) have to be stored in your project's folder (the folder that contains your main file).
b. "sty" and are often called packages that been included in your code via the command \usepackage{example} (This will require an "example.sty" file in your project folder). The "maa-monthly.sty" file that contained in your second link is such a file and called by your main document file (monthly-template-1.tex) in its second row. These files has to be included where our installation takes care to store them (if they are standard packages that comes with our installation) or we have to save them in the folder of our project. (Our project will generate many files during compilation [even if we start with just one "main" file ] and it is better to enclose it in a folder).
(In case you want to use again and again a sty file in several projects, you could save it inside your texmf folred -See @AlanMunn comment below- [But if you want later to sent the project to a friend don't forget to include this sty file too])

*Compiling your project.

This is a procedure that is depended on your editor (if you use a GUI editor interface for your compilation and your editing). For miktex I don't know to tell you, but I suppose there is a button that you press to compile your code using pdflatex or other miktex specific command. The thing you have to know is that independed of your editor, if you run from a command line
pdflatex main.tex

where "main.tex" is your main project file (the one that contains \documentclass command) the compilation will start, and if no errors or conflicts are in the files used, a file named "main.pdf" will be produced independed of the editor you used.
Hope that helped.

Exercise is Medicine On Campus at the University of British Columbia Okanagan is a newly launched group. Its goal is to promote exercise as preventative measures as well as treatment to disease. We aim to increase the percentage of students, faculty and staff who regularly participate in exercise at a level to achieve health benefits over the academic year. This will be achieved through hosting monthly events on campus that support exercise and wellness, as well as regular monthly seminars that promote the benefits of regular exercise to the campus community.
Our hope is to expand into the Okanagan community and develop connections with health professionals in an effort to promote exercise as effective medical treatment and as a tool for prevention of illness and disease.
We are very excited with the new development of our EIMC at UBC's Okanagan Campus and look forward to becoming a leader for exercise prescription within the Okanagan community.

Tandoori roti to sell for Rs10, Khameeri roti, Naan for Rs15
LAHORE: Following the rising trend in rates of wheat, levy of GST on wheat flour and other byproducts and upward revision of gas tariff, the prices of roti and naan have been increased significantly in the provincial metropolis.The price hike in wheat flour products would unleash a new wave of inflation pressure, hitting the common man badly. The Association of Bread Makers on Thursday jacked up rates of Tandoori roti to Rs 10 each and that of Khameeri roti and naan to Rs 15 each. They blamed a wave of successive cost escalation in last few weeks one of the reasons behind unprecedented increase in rates of roti and naan. With latest price revision, consumers now have to pay Rs 4 more on buying a Tandoori roti and Rs3 on Khameeri roti or naan.More worryingly, it is feared that the price of roti would further be swelled to Rs 15 and Khameeri roti or naan will cost consumers as high as Rs20 each. The price of wheat has been increased to Rs1,450 per maund from Rs 1,300 while the rate of a 79kg bag of flour jumped to Rs3,200 from Rs2,800.Similarly, the federal government imposed 17 per cent General Sales Tax (GST) on wheat flour packed in more that 20kg packing. On top of that, the gas tariff for bread makers has been multiplied to Rs 1,283 per unit from the earlier rate of Rs700.The bread makers said they had been left with no option but to gradually pass on financial burden to consumers. On the other hand, the Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA) has asked the government to withdraw GST on wheat flour. An office-bearer of the association said the price of Tandoori roti would hit hard the common man being the main buyer.The PFMA has also threatened to observe a strike and launch a protest campaign against imposition of General Sales Tax on wheat flour. Asim Raza, central leader of PFMA, said an emergency meeting of the association would be held today to evolve the future line of action. Such exorbitant tax rate would result in hike of Rs600 per 79 kg flour bag.Similarly, he said, 10 per cent tax on Maida has also been slapped, which would lead to increasing price of bread and naan considerably. He deplored that being a basic food item, exemption given to wheat flour from any tax should have been continued for the welfare of the masses.

Just Watching the Wheels Go Round: Just Watch, Synchronicity Happens?
I received a watch from Zazzle in the post today of my design called 'Synchronicity Happens'.
(pardon all of those puns).
If you want to buy one from Zazzle click on the link below.
Or get a deck of cards because life is a gamble and God don't play dice.
Feel free to leave a message if I'm not in my store ... or my mind.
And I tip my hat to you if you buy something of mine.
I don't know how long those discount codes in red will last for, as that is Zazzle's promotion, not mine, so I wouldn't wait too long if I were you.
In fact I didn't, as I already have my watch.
But if you can't see any crap here that you like then you might like one of these t-shirts below?

1 Review(s) for "The Essential Eye Edit"
Haven't even bothered to use it as it is half the size I expected. It is tiny. Not sure how it is meant to be an eye & cheek palette when a blush brush is the same size as the entire thing. It's cute for travelling and being compact. But that's about all. Not too impressed.


We thought you might like this September 18, 1894 picture of what was at the time one of the Allen houses in Fiskdale. Now it's Rovezzi's Restaurant. I think I can name a few of the people in the picture of the house which is now Rovezzi's. On the back of the picture is the name Alice A. George. Alice Annie George married William Aldrrich Allen, who I suspect is the younger man in the photograph. Standing next to him, I'm guessing is "Grandpa" Allen (William Liberty Allen). They were wonderful people.
The old house in the picture, is now known as Rovezzi's Restaurant in Fiskdale. Written on the back of the picture is "Alice Annie George, 1894." She was my dearest friend many, many years later (beginning when she was about 80 years old and I was only 8). Alice and her family lived in the house pictured here. I suspect that the two men in the center front of the photograph are William Liberty Allen and his son William Aldrich Allen. The older woman in the picture must be Alice's mother, as she looks like Alice did when she grew older. I am not sure which young lady is Alice. She wasn't very tall, so I'm thinking that she must be the shortest of the women on the right.
When Alice was a young girl, she and her sister Minnie went to North Dakota homesteading with their parents, and it was so cold that the water bucket in the kitchen would be frozen solid when they got up in the morning. I guess they didn't stay too long, because here they are in the picture.
The Allen family lived in the first house after Cartier's corner, where Old Stagecoach Road is today. The house burned a couple years ago, but the original little section on the end is still there with a new house on the old foundation.
Alice eventually married William Aldrich Allen, quite a smart young man, who spoke beautiful French for a Yankee, and who was the pharmacist at Blackington's Drug Store (Blackington Building, Fiskdale). He was promised that Alice would always get her heart medicine (Digitalis) at the price of 50 cents. After Will (William Aldrich Allen) died and the pharmacy had changed hands a couple times or more, I (about 12 years old or so) went down with 50 cents in my hand to pick up Alice's medicine - but the bill on the package was much more than 50 cents. I told the new pharmacy owner of the promise to Will by Mr. Blackington, and he explained that he couldn't afford to honor that promise...and that he would have to raise the price...and then he said, he could do it for 65 cents! Still a good deal, don't you think?
Thank you, Raoul and Marilyn for sharing your memories with us.---ed.
I remember way back when...Alice Allen belonged to the D.A.R. (Daughters of the American Repbulic) and the Womens' Relief Corps.
Back in the 1950's Bessie Ballard (who lived in the house on Brookfield Road, right at the end of Clark Road), picked up Mrs. Allen and they brought food to the town hall for the marchers on Memorial Day.
Even when Alice was home alone, up on the hill near the end of what is now named Old Stagecoach Rd., she would have a flag in a vase on Memorial Day.
Favorite snacks at Mrs. Allen's in the 1950's were Snicker Doodles, Coffee Jelly (dark, sweet, coffee gelatin dessert), and hot lemonade. One of her favorite meals was Finnan Haddie and vegetables.
She fried food in the "spiders" and we put out feet up on the "crickets."
