Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Park Forest Police Chief Christopher Mannino sat down with eNews Park Forest and reflected on the challenges the department faces including restorative justice, youth, and the need of officers often serving as primary responders in situations involving mental health crises. Additionally, he shared strategies the department is working on regarding juveniles, stopping the so-called "school-to-prison pipeline," and his commitment to restorative justice.
The Chief also shared his pride in the members of the Police Department, as well as one officer in particular, Tim Jones, who continues to defy odds, still recovering with a goal of returning to work at the PFPD.
Sworn in on October 23 of this year, we spoke at the end of November. Police Chief Christopher Mannino has taken well to wearing the "big hat" of leadership with the Park Forest Police Department.
The big takeaway from this interview? The depth with which this man discusses a broad spectrum of issues.
eNews Park Forest: What's different for you as Chief of Police?
Police Chief Mannino: A lot of responsibility being the head of the organization. So, obviously, a significant role change. Duty changes may not be as significant, but certainly responsibilities are much greater.
One major change is that so many people want to talk to you when you have one additional star in your collar. So, I'm in many more meetings than I was before. As deputy chief of field operations, my main concern was the patrol division and investigations division. And now, my concerns are an entire police department, and its relationship with a host of other groups and organizations. So, it's just a bit of a different perspective change.
eNews Park Forest: The old question that keeps coming back, there's so much more crime, but we're not really seeing that, are we? Or how would you describe?
Police Chief Mannino: Well, I would want to look at the end of year data to make any statements on changes on the amount of crime. I would say that certainly that the nature of our calls has seemed to have changed over the past couple of years, there seems to be more significant incidences we're dealing, more mental [health] issues that we're dealing with. So, maybe the nature of the calls has certainly changed somewhat over the years.
eNews Park Forest: So, are we seeing an impact because of the like of mental health facilities in the area?
Police Chief Mannino: Absolutely, absolutely.
eNews Park Forest: So, like Sheriff Tom Dart, you're becoming a first line of care in some mental health cases.
Police Chief Mannino: That's absolutely true. We see a significant increase in the amount of calls or service involving somebody in a mental health crisis. So, that's certainly something we're seeing here in Park Forest.
eNews Park Forest: Are there any certain avenues for that, or is it just emergency room?
Police Chief Mannino: Well, the immediate response is conducting an evaluation, and emergency room. As I think you know, we made great strides to having our personal training crisis intervention. Our goal is to have the entire department trained in the 40-hour crisis intervention team training. We currently have 100% of our employees trained in the eight-hour mental health first aid. So, we're trying to take as many steps as we can to deal with the crisis. But at the end of the day, the police department becomes involved when somebody's already in crisis. And what is really needed in our communities is the preventative treatment to prevent someone from ever getting to that point. And that's where we're seeing the lack of those services really affecting our call volume.
eNews Park Forest: So, it's not so much that people don't have ability, but it's proximity. I mean ability to pay, or something like that.
Police Chief Mannino: I think there's probably a variety of factors. Some of it may be a lack of services, and overflow of demand versus what's available. I think it's probably quite a few different factors.
eNews Park Forest: Another question I see in the law enforcement bigger picture is the school-to-prison pipeline. What are we doing different in Park Forest?
Police Chief Mannino: So, quite a few things I would say. The first I could talk about is that we revamped our – well, let me back up. We believe strongly in diverting offenders or youth from the traditional criminal justice system to our local system.
Now, we need to revamp that, because what it used to involve was the juveniles as a restorative justice program would partake in tasks like picking up trash in Western Avenue, or fitting fire hydrants in a neighborhood. And what we've done is we've partnered with the Urban Youth Trauma Center out of University of Chicago. And they now provide a full week trauma awareness program, where these juveniles are mentored, and they're provided information on how exposure to violence is impacting their decision making, and give them ways to make their decisions.
So, that's one way that we're trying to address the issue raised. Really, it does in two ways. One, by diverting them from the criminal justice system, and two, providing them with some resources.
On top of that, that relationship with the Urban Youth Trauma Center has developed such that we receive a grant, a $20,000 grant, where we're going to be able to start a youth management program. What's even more exciting though is that the Village of Park Forest is going to be hosting in early 2018, a summit for youth services providers. We're going to try to bring together every youth service provider in Park Forest. Whether it's religious-based, schools, village government based, Aunt Martha's, any type of organization that provides services to youth, it brings us all together on a one roof at one time for one day, and discuss what we're doing. And identify any gaps that may exist, or any overlaps that we could eliminate. And really make sure that we're all working together comprehensively to address this issue.
I guess what our caution at the end of the day is that the issue that we're facing with youth goes far beyond Park Forest. And so, we're going to work hard to offer the services to Park Forest youth, or really facing a regional problem that's really impacting us, because we're finding that many of our offenders aren't from Park Forest. And sometimes our youth may offend in another community. So, it really has as broad reach, and it's difficult to address the broader picture, or very hard to be addressing what's taking place here in Park Forest.
eNews Park Forest: The perception sometimes is that we have a lot of youth issues, but again, it seems like Rich East is doing a really incredible job themselves. I'm not seeing as many issues coming through reports in that respect.
Police Chief Mannino: Right. We're not seeing as many reports out of Rich East either.
eNews Park Forest: And that's very positive. What are some of your long-term goals for the department? Everybody kind of – well, as a new person in charge.
Police Chief Mannino: My long-term goals center around building relationships, that we continue to improve relationships with the community. And I think we already have a very good relationship with the community, but I think we always need to move forward. To build relationships with other service providers and other entities that work in Park Forest, to work with them towards a common goal. My goals include – I'd like to bring a K9 unit back to Park Forest Police Department.
eNews Park Forest: We lost that.
Police Chief Mannino: Yes, K9 Toby retired in June, and the program basically started that one. I'd like to make sure that we're at the forefront of technology as much as budgeting restraints allow. And that we continue to have a very motivated and a diverse workforce that is extremely community oriented. Again, I think we've already taken great strides in meeting these things, but it's always keeping that momentum moving forward in that direction, and making sure that our processes are procedurally just. That is a big passion of mine, and everyone feels treated fairly in Park Forest.
eNews Park Forest: So, those are some of the real big issues that have been out there for some time now, [raised by] Colin Kaepernik, the idea that law enforcement is treating everybody with the same respect. What are we doing different?
Police Chief Mannino: Some of that comes through training. We've had procedural justice training. I think it's pretty much at the forefront of that topic. We do advanced leadership workshops with our commanders and our sergeants and this topic is often at the forefront. And part of it is just making sure that we always have a diverse workforce as well.
And we're limited, as you know, The Police and Fire Commission sets who is hired, but in our recruiting efforts, making sure we have a wide pool of applicants. And always making sure that we're working towards reflecting community in which we serve. But at the end of the day, it comes down to the culture of an organization, and lot of that comes from the top. And again, one of my passions is to make sure that we are procedurally just, that we are treating everyone fairly. And more than just they're being treated fairly, but they feel that they're being treated fairly. And I think when we set that tone from the top, it's a lot easier for our organization to implement those kind of ideals, which are easy to articulate, but sometimes not as easy to see carry out in the real world.
Police Chief Mannino: He's doing good. He's fighting very hard. He's in physical training, and he's making great strides. I have learned that you cannot limit what he is capable of. And I suspect that he's going to continue defy odds and to continue surprising people with what he's able to accomplish.
eNews Park Forest: I mean that still kind of hits seeing his picture in the lobby as officer of the year. I think that still hits the community too.
Police Chief Mannino: Sure, and it still hits the department. I don't know a single person who worked with Tim who doesn't have a permanent scar from that incident. But that's nothing compared to what Tim has gone through. And he shown us that he never gives up.
eNews Park Forest: Yeah. So, do you still have all the time you need for your family?
Police Chief Mannino: [smiles] Well, certainly in this beginning of the transition, my time at home has been somewhat limited. I anticipate that after we bring another deputy chief on board at the beginning of 2018, things may hopefully slow down a little bit. But family is still at the top of my priority list, and always will be.
eNews Park Forest: So, staffing-wise, there are only two deputy – or there's one deputy chief right now.
Police Chief Mannino: Right now, correct. We're short-staffed right now. So, to help with that issue, we delayed a promotion of one deputy chief until January. And in January, we'll have an officer, who right now is in field training on the street, so it will help fill that void.
eNews Park Forest: So, how are we doing in staffing? What would be your goal? What would be the ideal? I know, because let's imagine there's no budget.
Police Chief Mannino: Yeah, asking a police chief that question, I don't think there's a police chief in America who doesn't want more personnel, because every additional person is much more that we can do. I would say that when we are full staffed, we can accomplish everything we want to. The difficulty in this day and age is getting full staffed.
eNews Park Forest: How do you recruit for diversity? It's important for the community to have people who look like them, people of color, women.
Police Chief Mannino: Sure. When it comes to recruitment, one thing we've really tried to do a lot more is social media recruitment. We're able to reach a much wider audience that way, a much more diverse audience that way. There's a range of stuff. Some of them are long-term goals. For an example, we offer the Timothy John Scholarship, which gives a scholarship for about $1,000, $1,500 to a Rich East student who wants to major in criminal justice. And do I think that just because someone wants a scholarship they're going to come work for the Park Forest Police Department some day? No, but it's a small way for us to help promote our students to enter to a criminal justice type career, even if it's not law enforcement per se.
I think that's just one way for us to demonstrate our commitment to having a diverse workforce. But at the end of the day, recruiting comes down to a lot of personal relationships. I mean encourage our personnel to talk to those that they know, maybe a good fit. Sometimes, there's people that you may know who we think would be a god fit, and that person hasn't even considered law enforcement as a career. All it takes is the right person to say, "Hey, have you thought about this, I think you'd be good in this position." So, a lot of it comes down to personal interaction as well.
eNews Park Forest: The two women who disappeared, or the one who – that one still kind of hunts me in the back of my mind. How do these guys deal with – men and women deal with these long-term cases?
Police Chief Mannino: Being a detective is probably one of the more challenging roles in the police department. There's a lot of stressors that come it. You see a lot of – well, whatever happens to the community, detective see the worst of it, whether it's crimes against children, crimes against women, or just general violent crime in general. So, it's not an easy position to begin with. Regarding the two cases you mentioned, they're still very active cases. There's still work being done on them. If not daily, certainly weekly. So, they're not something we've forgotten about or we'd ever forget about.
eNews Park Forest: And you do have a strong outreach on social media, there seems to be a lot of communication. It's been a good way to reach, get the word out, all kinds of things. Are you still kind of behind the scenes there?
Police Chief Mannino: I'm still involved at this point. My goal is to put together a social media team to assist with that, because I simply don't have the time to be maintaining it as I did in the past, so we definitely will have some different input, some different ways coming from social media pretty soon.
eNews Park Forest: Instantaneous response almost, but wasn't there – was impossible years ago.
Police Chief Mannino: And just the reach, I mean you could get for a good neighborhood meeting 75 to 100 people, but you can put a post up, and reach a couple of thousand, if not more. Not everyone has a time to come up to a meeting. So, it's a great way to shoot information, but again, it can never replace face-to-face relationships.
eNews Park Forest: Well, any final thoughts?
Police Chief Mannino: I would just say that we have a very professional police department. One thing that makes it very easy for me is taking over a department that was already going in the right direction. I don't have to turn the ship around or anything like that. We have an incredible group of men and women, who are very dedicated to public service. And I just consider myself lucky to be in the role I am working with them to keep Park Forest safe.
Police Chief Mannino: Thank you.

A 15-inch laptop is the perfect halfway size for those who use their computers for work as well as personal use. Therefore, these machines are a hybrid between the power required for getting your professional tasks done combined with the necessary screen size and graphics for home entertainment and leisure.
Naturally, this is also amongst the most contested and cluttered segments for laptops. While the battle was tough, the Asus Aspire E 15 emerges as the best 15-inch screen laptop.
Packed with the 7th gen Intel Core i5 processor, the Asus Aspire E 15 wields all the power that's required for helping you get through your work tasks smoothly. Be it the rendering of a complex Excel sheet or the processing of a large amount of data: the Asus Aspire E 15 is well capable of handling that and much more. This processor also helps you optimize battery life thus ensuring that your laptop functions longer on a single charge.
The Asus Aspire E 15 also packs the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX Graphics card with a dedicated video memory of 2GB. This means that you can easily view Full HD videos, movies, as well as play those cutting-edge games while experiencing rich colors. This laptop also doesn't lag while processing HD video and a big thanks for that is to the dedicated memory.
Featuring a 15.6-inch screen, the Asus Aspire E 15 comes with 8 GB DDR SDRAM, 2 USB 3.0 and 3.1 Type C ports, and an inbuilt flash memory of 256GB.
Featuring a larger screen than its 15-inch counterparts, a 17-inch screen laptop is specifically designed for multimedia as well as a greater real estate for display. This is especially important for those who consume video for a major chunk of their day or need a wide-screen display for large spreadsheets.
The best laptop in the 17-inch screen category is the Lenovo Ideapad 10. The erstwhile IBM laptops were rebranded as Lenovo when the Chinese computer maker took over the division. And in just a short span of time, they've become market leaders in making some of the best laptops.
The Lenovo Ideapad 10 features an AMD A6-7310 processor which gives it sufficient power while greatly reducing its cost thus making it a fantastic budget laptop. This is combined with an AMD Radeon graphics card which, while not full HD, manages to bring rich colors alive onto the 17-inch display. As with the new Lenovo laptops, the design of this computer has some interesting features. The hinge on the laptop, for instance, bends a complete 180 degrees which allow you to turn it totally flat. This is helpful especially in settings where a lot of people need to view something on your screen. Moreover, the Ideapad 10 also comes with a built-in optical drive to watch as well as write CDs and DVDs. If you buy this laptop, get those movies out of storage and re-watch them.
The Lenovo Ideapad 10 also comes pre-installed with Windows 10 and features a HUGE 1000 GB HDD. This laptop also packs in a whopping 8GB of RAM which ensures that there's enough processing memory available for all your tasks. The presence of an optical drive means that there's only 1 USB port but that easily be fixed by purchasing a cheap multi-port USB hub.
The Intel i3 processor created a storm when it was launched. Despite new versions having been released, the i3 still packs a punch and delivers processing power that's second to none. Laptops running on the i3 framework tend to be budget models that provide unsurpassed features which any user would need. In this category, the best i5 laptop is, yet again, the Acer Aspire E 15 albeit with an i3 processor version.
Packed with the 7th gen Intel Core i3-7100U processor, the Asus Aspire E 15 wields all the power that's required for helping you get through your work tasks smoothly. Be it the rendering of a complex Excel sheet or the processing of a large amount of data: the Asus Aspire E 15 is well capable of handling that and much more. This processor also helps you optimize battery life thus ensuring that your laptop functions longer on a single charge. The i3 processor sits niftily while delivering a superior performance on your machine.
The i5 is the next level up amongst Intel processors and helps deliver a lot of additional frills and special features in addition to its stellar crunching power. In this category, the best i5 laptop is the Asus Vivobook.
Built using the 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U processor, this laptop packs a 1.6GHz power. If you're a serious gamer, you can switch to turbo mode which provides a whopping 3.4GHz of processing capacity. The Asus Vivobook also sports a 15.6″ anti-glare Full HD display which is perfect for all your multimedia needs. The anti-glare part is important because it not only prevents your eyes from getting tired but also ensures that you can work easily even at your favorite outdoor cafe. The Asus Vivobook also features a huge 1TB HDD which should be more than enough for all your storage needs.
One of the amazing features on this laptop is the fingerprint sensor which allows you to lock your machine and keep it secure. For this budget range, a feature like this is quite a steal. The Asus Vivobook comes with 8GB DDR4 RAM and features a keyboard which has been ergonomically designed to ensure that you can type comfortably without any hassle.
The latest Intel i7 processors powers some of the best machines in the market. Indeed, most top range laptops that have been recently launched have made this processor their default. With such a high benchmark, choosing a winner was definitely an uphill battle. But the one laptop that takes the cake in the best laptop with i7 processor category is the Asus Zenbook.
Featuring a 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-6500U i7 processor with 12 GB of RAM, this laptop is an absolute powerhouse. Not only can you easily use the Asus Zenbook for work but also deploy it for all your gaming and entertainment needs. The processing capacity combined with the memory ensures that this laptop performs even the most complex tasks sans any lag or delays.
Do you need to talk to colleagues or family online regularly? Well, in that case, you'll be pleased to know that the Asus Zenbook features a 1.2MP camera which is perfect for all your conference call needs. Moreover, the Zenbook comes with 3 USB 3.0 ports, 1 HDMI port and 1 mini display ports ensuring that all your multimedia needs are sufficiently addressed.

Home / Blog Interviews / Simon Miller
Hey Simon, thanks so much for taking the time and doing the interview with us. Please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a little about how you started out your wrestling career.
No problem! Thanks for having me. Well, my name is indeed Simon Miller and I'm somehow both able to talk about wrestling on YouTube for WhatCulture and wrestle in real life as well. In terms of how the latter started, it was just something I'd always wanted to do. I tried in my early 20s but didn't have the mental capacity to keep it up, so when I felt more ready for the challenge I decided to give it one last go. The way I saw it, it would either go really well or I could finally draw a line under it and move on. That's no bad thing.
As it turned out, an Al Snow Wrestling Academy opened mere minutes from my house when I was having these thoughts and that was justification to at least try. The fact I combined this with documenting my progress on WhatCulture helped with the motivation as some people really did get invested, and after training my ass off I'm very fortunate to now be in a position where I'm being booked and having matches all the time.
How have you incorporated merch into your career as a wrestler, YouTuber and as a podcast host? Do you approach these in different manners?
I would argue I'm not very good at merchandise at all [laughs]! I'm not a natural salesman unless of course I'm in a ring and someone punches me in the face. Then, hopefully, that changes. I do enjoy the process of developing a t-shirt idea, but I do need to do better in terms of linking all those together and offering a product that each audience can enjoy. It's like anything, though. I'm working on it, learning every day and I'm sure I'll improve as the weeks go on.
Cheap plug, but that's why working with Pins and Knuckles is so helpful. You guys do this day in, day out and it helps me fashion better ideas and how I should approach it going forward. I do need more options, though. This I know. I'm working on it!
What tips and tricks regarding wrestling and wrestling merchandising have you picked up along the way that you wouldn't mind sharing with our readers?
Offer a good quality product. Most fans know quite quickly if they like the design, but if it turns up and it looks awful then they're not going to be pleased and nor should they be. I'm a real stickler for customer satisfaction because I get how hard it is to earn money. For anyone to choose to spend that on something I'm putting out there… well, it has to turn up and make the buyer feel satisfied. If it doesn't I've failed.
Otherwise choice is a huge factor. People love to browse and everyone has different tastes. If you're not offering something for everyone you'll probably find you don't sell that much. My main takeaway from this is that I'm miles better at talking about merch than actually selling it [laughs].
How do you go about marketing your merch to your fans?
Well, this ties into what I was just saying. I need to be louder about it and let people know, but it can be hard. You never want it to feel like you're bashing someone over the head shouting 'BUY MY MERCH!' but there's a balance and I'm probably on the low end. I could definitely advertise it more, but even then, I'm really happy with how it's gone so far. I sell a good few t-shirts a week and everyone always seems really pleased with them when they arrive.
That in itself is incredible. For anyone to put their hand in their pocket and buy my merchandise… incredible. It really is and I massively appreciate it.
What has been the most memorable experience in your wrestling career?
Getting injured [laughs]! That's actually kind of true because it was such a shock and I had 8 months of recovery time trying to figure out what on Earth happened. You do learn a lot in those moments and let's face it – I'll never forget it.
Outside of that, it was definitely traveling to South Korea for PWS and fighting Adam Mayhem for the Haitch Title. If you had told me a few years ago I would fly to a country I never even thought about going to and have a wrestling match I'd have laughed out loud but that happened and goes to show how cool wrestling can be. No matter what goes down now I'll have that forever and it truly makes me very happy and humbled. It was awesome.
Where do you see wrestling go in the next 10 years, and how has it changed in the past 10 years?
Social media has changed everything but I don't think that's a bad thing. It just meant wrestling became something new and that's probably for the best. You can't stand still forever because people will get bored but having such direct access to wrestlers is a million miles away from the late 90s where the closest you could get was queuing up for hours during a meet and greet. Look at what it's created, though. Would The Young Bucks and AEW even be here without Twitter etc? Maybe not. They took advantage of it in the best way possible and more power to them.
In terms of what's next, it's really hard to know. We all thought streaming and on-demand services would have dominated by now but instead it's still TV that is the biggest metric with WWE and All Elite signing huge television deals. Again, the internet has allowed smaller promotions to build a solid audience, but it does mean who knows what the lay of the land will be in 2029. Maybe we all put goggles on and wrestle virtually. Would definitely hurt less.
You're super busy outside of the ring as well, running a cool YouTube channel and the separate podcasts, how do you manage your time to get to all your daily responsibilities? We can only imagine that you have a lot going on.
I don't sleep [laughs]! That's actually not a joke. I do realize how important sleep is but I enjoy my day-to-day so much something has to give and usually it's 8 hours a night. Like I say, though, I feel so lucky to do what I do – I want to embrace it as much as possible and ride the wave. I totally get it could vanish tomorrow such is the way of YouTube and the internet.
Ultimately, though, it's the same mindset I have when I go to the gym. Lifting weights never feels like a chore because I love it, and given I also love making videos, the podcast, wrestling and whatever else I'm getting up to, it's just like I'm having fun all the time. I'm fortunate to be in the position I am and I want to enjoy it for as long as I can.
Last, but not least, where can our readers see and hear more of Simon Miller?
WhatCulture Wrestling on YouTube. I also have my own channel – just search for "Simon Miller" – and you'll find me. Otherwise, there's Kayfabe News (which is a satirical wrestling news channel), and a whole host of little projects that are always popping up. The best way is to follow me on Twitter @SimonMiller316 where I shall update you and throw out my pro-wrestling dates, too. Come see me beat someone up! I'd appreciate it…

Q: What is the performance difference between rendering View vs rendering an HTML file in ASP.NET MVC? Considering both containing same static content, what is the difference between rendering a view VS a HTML file from an action in ASP.NET MVC?
Background: I have some static content such as about page which I'm rendering as ActionResult view. I can also keep them in some HTML files.
Question: Does it make any sense to port the static content from view files to HTML files? I believe it will save server from processing View engine tasks - which is the reason for port (correct me, if I'm wrong).

One more important question: How do I handle Viewbag.Title thing? This is passed to _Layout from view file only?

A: You're right, it won't be passed through the MVC pipeline if it's static html. But the real question is: what performance savings are you looking for? I'd imagine the differences to be trivial: low single digit ms to sub-ms.

The investment office formed by a team of former Lord North Street advisers has grown its assets under management to more than £500 million in less than three years. But despite this, rapid growth really isn't the goal at Wren Investment Office. Chief executive Michael Parsons and head of client relationships Drew McNeil spoke to Alexandra Newlove about their approach to serving super-wealthy families.
Among the first clients to join Wren Investment Office when it was set up in late 2016 were some who had worked with its founders for more than a decade prior – a vote of confidence if ever there was one.
And despite the relative youth of the team behind the independent multi-family office (chief executive Michael Parsons is in his mid-thirties) and trendy offices in London's Victoria, the business's core values are traditional: Be patient, establish long-term relationships with clients, maintain trust and independence, and deliver a highly personalised service.
The firm has been set up to ensure continuity of ownership: It cannot be sold except via a gradual management buy-out by the next generation of the firm's leaders, and there is no dominant family pulling the strings – Wren is fully independent.
"When we set up the brand, we really wanted to build a firm that would be around for the long term," Mr Parsons explains.
"We had just been through a process of being sold from Lord North Street to Sandaire, as had many clients. It's disruptive for everybody. We wanted to build a business where clients had no fear we were building assets in order to sell [the business] in ten years' time.
Despite looking like a small London start-up on the surface, Wren is in fact part of a global alliance with WE Family Offices in New York and Miami, and Spain's MdF Family Partners.
"The exciting aspect for us was creating what is really the first international alliance of family offices," Mr Parsons says.
The firms share an investment team of 20 people and an investment committee made of 10. Wren is comprised of five people in London, serving about a dozen clients, part of the global network of around 100 staff across the three offices.
"That joint team is really interesting because we have the perspective of looking at the world from onshore US, from within Europe, and the UK…that leads to a really interesting debate around the table.
Wren offers investment advice in house, but head of client relationships Drew McNeil describes its advisers as "expert generalists", who refer clients to the firm's network of specialist providers depending on their needs.
"No matter how sophisticated the client, we always go back to first principles around, 'what is the purpose of the money'?".
This theme of getting the structure of wealth right first also ties into the firm's name, which is eponymous with architect Sir Christopher Wren, the creator of City of London landmark St. Paul's Cathedral.
"The analogy is with our role as the architect of a family's overall wealth strategy and the emphasis we put on understanding the purpose and getting the long term plan right," Mr Parsons says.
And Mr Parsons says his clients, especially the younger contingent, are now increasingly interested in the purpose of their wealth outside their families, as they ask more questions about impact and ESG investing.
How to acquire and hold on to this next generation of wealth holders is a perpetual issue for larger competitors in the ultra-high net worth wealth market—one Wren has addressed by establishing relationships with families, rather than just the principal.
"We tend to have relationships with every generation of the family. Our youngest client, technically, is a one-year-old, but we do work with the family group, our fee structure is all-inclusive of the family relationship," Mr Parsons says.
Managing complex family dynamics is an increasingly large part of the job for any wealth adviser, and it's no different at Wren.
"We have a client we see where it's usually a two-hour meeting and the first 30 minutes is spent on the investment portfolio," Mr McNeil says.
These deep and rather personal relationships are what will form the backbone of the business as it grows, both directors say.
"When it comes to winning new clients, a lot comes through word of mouth of current clients, past clients, or intermediaries who we know well. We're not after 100 clients a year, we're after a few each year who we can really add value to," Mr Parsons says.
Wren Investment Office was a finalist in the Emerging Manager category at the 2019 PAM Awards.

Trump Addresses the Nation From the Oval office On the Border Wall
Jim ClaytonJanuary 9, 2019
President Trump spoke on Tuesday night from the oval office on the importance of the Border Wall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer signaled disappointment with the networks' decisions to grant the president a slot at 9 p.m. Tuesday for a brief address to the nation and again blamed him for the partial government shutdown that's now in its third week.
"Now that the television networks have decided to air the President's address, which if his past statements are any indication will be full of malice and misinformation, Democrats must immediately be given equal airtime," they said in a joint statement.
The minority party is usually granted time after major addressed such as a state of the union speech, though reactions to short presidential addresses to the nation are usually less structured.
In Tuesday night's speech from the oval office, Trump gave a compelling argument for the border wall. He cited that in 2017-2018 criminal aliens have been responsible for 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes and 4000 homicides. In 2018 17,000 adults have been arrested at the border with criminal records and that 300 Americans die each week from heroin that is coming from over the border.
Trump went on to say that in 2018 3000 suspected criminal aliens were caught at the border and six known terrorists on the terrorist watch list were caught at the border. Trump said he is responsible for keeping America safe and we must secure the border and stop criminals and gangs and keep America safe.
He said the Wall will pay for itself many times over and said we have no choice, We have to have a Wall, it will stop drugs and human trafficking, He said the people who are not getting a paycheck now agree with him and said it is a national emergency with the Wall,
Trump proposed having more agents, a steel barrier wall not concrete, immigration lawyers, medical assistance and advanced technological surveillance equipment. Trump said this will cost 500 billion dollars and the wall will pay for itself through the new alliance with Mexico. So far the dems have refused to supply funds for the wall which Trump is asking 5 billion for.
Trump said the dems should pass the spending bill and get this done so the government can re-open. He said it would take about 45 minutes. Trump cited many people who had family members killed by illegals and said the government remains shut down because dems will not fund border security.
During Obama's tenure, Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Obama, Hillary and Diane Feinstein all spoke about the importance of having a wall and asked 25 billion for it. Now that Trump is in office they are refusing it.
In their rebuttal to Trump Pelosi and Schumer both accused trump of stoking fear and accused him of manufacturing a crisis.
They should try talking to the recent families who had loved ones killed or the 100,000 victims of assault and the 300,000 victims of sex crimes and ask them if they think this is a manufactured crisis.
Schumer and Pelosi said that Trump should re-open the government so they can negotiate and mentioned the thousands who won't be able to get a mortgage or buy a car or put food on the table.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Tuesday night that President Trump used his prime-time Oval Office address to "manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his Administration."
"The President of the United States – having failed to get Mexico to pay for his ineffective, unnecessary border wall, and unable to convince the Congress or the American people to foot the bill – has shut down the government," Schumer said in a response delivered jointly with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "American democracy doesn't work that way. We don't govern by temper tantrum."
Schumer called on Trump to approve legislation ending the partial government shutdown while allowing debate over border security to continue.
In her remarks, Pelosi said the president's statements during the partial shutdown have been "full of misinformation and even malice," and accused the administration of practicing "cruel and counterproductive policies" at the southern border.
"The fact is: the women and children at the border are not a security threat, they are a humanitarian challenge," said Pelosi, adding that "President Trump must stop holding the American people hostage, must stop manufacturing a crisis, and must re-open the government."
Democrats value illegals over Americans ! Poor Chuckie! Poor Nancy! The orchestrators of this shutdown are starting to feel the heat. With them it's only about obstructing Trump. It's only about winning on the wall funding.. They seek power only for themselves and NOT the American people!
These workers will all get their back pay coming to them when this is over and this is only a partial shutdown with just non essential workers temporarily laid off.
While all this is going on Democrats like Cory Booker and other angry libs are saying Trump lies all the time and doesn't keep his promises. It is they who are lying about Trump to make it look like he is lying. I guess they forgot about bill Clinton who was a stranger to the truth and said "I didn't lie, I mislead. There is a difference." or how about when Obama told the country if they like their plan and doctor they can keep them and 5million people lost their plan and doctor. So don't go saying Trump lies all the time.
Trump doesn't outright lie, he may exaggerate and emphasize things so it seems like a lie to feckless dems, but that's not like previous presidents. Maybe he should say like Bill Clinton did, "I didn't lie I misled." Trump has kept all of his promises and at his rallies there are signs that say "Promsies made, Promises kept."
In a recent press conference in the Rose Garden trump said the steel industry was dying, and said he saved the steel industry by calling the President of US Steel and convinced him to build more steel plants here which they are doing., He said he has tremendous support from the Republican party,
He said the Democrats are playing games, and said a lot of work has been done, He said don't just build the Wall, finish the Wall.and said we will see what happens with DACA. He said they won't give the President the power that President Obama had, He said this shutdown could end tomorrow or could go on a long time, He said it is dependent on the Democrats, He said there are big surges of people are coming over the border and said it is his fault, because he created a great economy and they want jobs,
He said our economy is great, and we are getting interest now. He said Obama got no interest, He said Obama was playing with funny money. He said the China deal is great, He said China's economy is down by 38 percent, He said now we are doing great with N Korea and we have a great dialog with them, He said the previous administration would have been in war with them if he weren't elected, In fact, China and North Korea were teaming up against us with Kim firing rockets over Guam and Japan. Trump intervened and stopped that. He said Iran is doing poorly, once he took the nuclear deal off and now Iran wants to talk,
He said we are decimating Isis. We wiped out Isis in Iraq. We are helping other counties when we fight Isis, We are helping Russian and Iran since they hate Isis.
He said he will be making the State of the Union on Jan 29th,
Trump campaigned on getting the cost of prescription drugs down for seniors and he has done that. He said he would lower everyone's taxes and he has done that. He said he would bring jobs back here from overseas and he has done that. Throughout 2016, he claimed he would be able to help revitalized jobs in manufacturing and encourage American companies with foreign investments to return to the U.S. In fact, Manufacturing jobs grew more than seven times faster under Trump than they did under Obama.
In total, 312,000 non-farm manufacturing jobs were added to the U.S. economy. The report showed that jobs manufacturing job growth skyrocketed 714 percent faster under Trump.
Our trade deals are going great. He said we are doing better than any other country under him. We have a deal with Mexico and Canada and China under him and
said he was elected to protect our country. He said he was voted 306 to 223. He said he was voted for security, He said we have to stop drugs.
He said you can't impeach him because he has done more than any other President in his first two years and said you can't impeach a President who is doing a great job. So don't go saying Trump doesn't keep his promises and lies all the time.

China-based hydra linked cryptocurrency exchange taken down
The United States Department of Justice(DOJ) in cooperation with international law enforcement agencies shutdown Bitzlato Limited, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange, and arrested its founder and major shareholder for facilitating the transfer of illicit funds.
Seizure banner uploaded on Bitzlato's website.
According to an announcement by the DOJ, Bitzlato was founded in 2016, by 40-year-old Anatoly Legkodymov, a Russian citizen who resides in China. Legkodymov and his co-founder run Bitzlato with minimal Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
Bitzlato's lack of effective anti-money laundering requirements made it a favorite among crypto users who engaged in illicit activities. The exchange allegedly received hundreds of millions of dollars from suspected criminals such as ransomware attackers and users of dark web marketplaces such as the now-defunct Hydra Market.
The Connection Between Bitzlato and Hydra
According to the Criminal complaint, investigations into Bitzlato's operations reportedly revealed that a majority of the exchange's users were also Hydra users. Bitzlato was Hydra's second largest counterparty. Hydra buyers funded their purchases from accounts at Bitzlato, while the vendors on Hydra cashed out via accounts at Bitzlato. A total of approximately $700 million in cryptocurrency was exchanged between the two platforms.
Blockchain analysis revealed that between May 2018 and Hydra's shutdown in April 2022, Hydra users sent approximately $170 million in cryptocurrency to Bitzlato wallets. In the same period, Bitzlato received an additional $218 from non-Bitzlato addresses that had received funds from Hydra users.
During the same period, Bitzlato users sent over $124.4 million to Hydra. An additional $191 million was sent to Hydra from addresses that had received funds from Bitzlato wallets.
In addition to facilitating Hydra transactions, Bitzlato was reportedly used to cash out more than $15 million in crypto received from addresses that had received proceeds of ransomware attacks.
Bitzlato's Personnel Role in Illicit Transactions
Bitzlato's employees sometimes blocked accounts of users suspected of engaging in illicit activities but in most cases let the customers be. Communications between Bitzlato's customers and support representatives reportedly showed that the employees knowingly helped the customers transfer funds to Hydra.
In one such case, a customer who contacted Bitzlato's support on October 18, 2020, and asked if he could transfer funds from his Bitzlato wallet to Hydra was told, "you can transfer BTC to any actual address. There are no restrictions for any individual services."
Bitzlato's support also knew that most of their customers used accounts created under the identities of other individuals. The support representatives allowed such customers to continue using the exchange without restrictions.
Legkodymov and his co-founder were aware of the high volume of illicit funds transferred through the exchange but decided that blocking users who engaged in illicit activities would hurt the exchange's bottom line.
Bitzlato's role in illicit activities was highlighted in a document titled "Competitor Analysis," made by Bitzlato's marketing director, and shared with the platform's management. The document included "no KYC" as one of Bitzlato's pros while "dirty money" and "lots of scams" were listed as some of the exchange's cons.
US-based Customers on Bitzlato
Bitzlato is also accused of offering its services to US customers even though it was not based in the US. In cases where Bitzlato provided data regarding customers placed under investigation by US authorities, the data showed that the customers had been accessing the exchange from IP addresses in the US.
Information received from an undisclosed US-based cryptocurrency exchange reportedly showed that 1,600 of the exchange's US-based customers had transferred a total of approximately $2.4 million to Bitzlato.
Legkodymov also managed the exchange while he was in the US. Legkodymov entered the US in October 2022 and had been residing in Miami, Florida. Information acquired from his ISP in Florida showed that he had been accessing Bitzlato's management server.
Legkodymov was arrested on January 17, 2023, by US authorities in Miami. During Legkodymov's arrest, an international operation led by French authorities in partnership with law enforcement agencies in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Cyprus under Europol's coordination took down Bitzlato and seized its crypto assets.

Landquart is a municipality in the Landquart Region in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It was formed when the municipalities of Igis and Mastrils merged on 1 January 2012 into the new municipality of Landquart. The municipality "Landquart" draws its name from a locality in the former municipality of Igis.
Igis is first mentioned about 840 as Ovinae/Aviuns. In 1149 it was mentioned as Auuine, in 1225 as Huiuns and in 1253 as Yges. Mastrils is first mentioned in 1318 as Ponstrils. In 1345 it was mentioned as Bastrils.
Landquart has an area, (based on the 2004/09 survey) of 18.86 km2 (7.28 sq mi). Of this area, about 34.7% is used for agricultural purposes, while 45.5% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 15.1% is settled (buildings or roads) and 4.8% is unproductive land. In the 2004/09 survey a total of 183 ha (450 acres) or about 9.7% of the total area was covered with buildings, an increase of 54 ha (130 acres) over the 1985 amount. Of the agricultural land, 28 ha (69 acres) is used for orchards and vineyards, 602 ha (1,490 acres) is fields and grasslands and 74 ha (180 acres) consists of alpine grazing areas. Since 1985 the amount of agricultural land has decreased by 74 ha (180 acres). Over the same time period the amount of forested land has increased by 13 ha (32 acres). Rivers and lakes cover 55 ha (140 acres) in the municipality.
Landquart has a population (as of December 2017[update]) of 8,849. As of 2015[update], 20.2% of the population are resident foreign nationals. Over the last 5 years (2010-2015) the population has changed at a rate of 6.47%. The birth rate in the municipality, in 2015, was 9.7, while the death rate was 7.1 per thousand residents.
As of 2015[update], children and teenagers (0–19 years old) make up 19.6% of the population, while adults (20–64 years old) are 63.9% of the population and seniors (over 64 years old) make up 16.6%. In 2015 there were 3,566 single residents, 4,134 people who were married or in a civil partnership, 415 widows or widowers and 707 divorced residents.
In 2015 there were 3,812 private households in Landquart with an average household size of 2.29 persons. In 2015 about 60.2% of all buildings in the municipality were single family homes, which is greater than the percentage in the canton (49.4%) and about the same as the percentage nationally (57.4%). In 2014 the rate of construction of new housing units per 1000 residents was 14.73. The vacancy rate for the municipality, in 2016[update], was 0.6%.
Marschlins Castle and the surrounding grounds are listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance. The castle is the family castle of the noble family of Salis-Marschlins.
In addition to the Marschlins Castle, Landquart is also home to the ruins of Falkenstein Castle.
The Roman Catholic Church of St. Fidelis was built in 1908 in Landquart village.
The current Reformed church in Igis village was built to its current appearance in 1486. At that time, the nave was extended to the south and the choir was expanded. The main portal was also built in 1486, as this date is carved into the stone. The paintings on the north-east wall date from before the 1486 renovation. It is believed that this wall is part of St. Damian's Church in Ovine that was mentioned in 841, though this identification is debated. Part of the identification rests on the fact that the bell of the church contains an inscription that indicates that it was dedicated to Cosmas and Damian. Regardless, the current church is clearly mentioned about 1300 in the records of Pfäfers Abbey.
The Church in Landquart village was built in the 20th Century as the village section grew. The land was acquired in 1914, though construction began only in 1925. Construction finished on 11 January 1926.
The Prättigauer Höhenweg begins at the Landquart railway station and ends at Klosters.
Landquart is classed as a regional business center and is the center of the Landquart region.

In 2013 the average income in the municipality per tax payer was 69,894 SFr. and the per person average was 29,519 SFr., which is less than the cantonal average of 69,964 SFr. and 33,075 SFr. respectively It is also less than the national per tax payer average of 82,682 SFr. and the per person average of 35,825 SFr..

I have but I will request again - only because we know he was wounded twice however they only show his final injuries re Caen in 1944 which took him out of action (pls see below), we also know that previous he was at the evac at Dunkirk however there was no mention of that either. Unfortunately Ted passed when I was 16 (now 44) he was a great man but not one to talk of the past (understandably) so I don't have a lot of 'first account' to go on.


Rackemann, Sawyer & Brewster recently represented the winning party in the Supreme Judicial Court case Taylor v. Martha's Vineyard Land Bank Commission. Our client owns the Outermost Inn in Aquinnah. That Inn property is subject to an easement that the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank holds to reach three parcels of land that it owns. The dispute arose because the Land Bank sought to use the easement for public access, not only to those three parcels, but to a fourth parcel of land that was not benefitted by the easement and which had its own, deeded access easement via a different route.

Manufacturers in Jamaica prepared to step up amid COVID-19 — JMEA
President of the Jamaica Manufacturers and Exporters' Association (JMEA), Richard Pandohie, says there is a sufficient supply of critical food items to sustain the country through the threat of coronavirus (COVID-19).
An aerial view of New Kingston, Jamaica.
"We have a very diverse set of manufacturers in Jamaica. In the food supply chain, we have done a fairly good job. Most manufacturers are saying that they have two to three months of products on the ground, including raw material. On the food supply side, I don't think we have any problems. We have several manufacturers in the country, so whether it is flour, oil, agricultural produce, milk, juice or tissue, we have the supply," he said.
Pandohie urged consumers to be considerate of other shoppers and to resist the instinct to stockpile basic items.
"We believe there is a huge opportunity for us to step up to the plate and to show Jamaica that local manufacturing can perform…and we can deliver quality products in our time of need,"
– JMEA President, Richard Pandohie
"What is going to happen is that people are going to react in a hoarding instinct. There will be a huge demand in the short term. At times, suppliers may not have all the stock at the same time, but they will get replenished the following week. People can rest assured there is no need to panic," he said.
He pointed out that members of the distributive trade had been making preparations for the impact of COVID-19 months before the virus entered the country, with members being advised to increase their raw material supply inventory and their finished goods in anticipation of the interruption of supplies from China, the world's largest supplier of raw material and equipment.
Pandohie said manufacturers were bringing in raw material and inventory before the coronavirus was confirmed on the island.
"Since the onset of COVID-19 started in China, it has been having an impact, and we started making our preparations. We have been actively planning and preparing for this by bringing in raw material and inventory," he said.
Initially, delays in the shipment of raw material and equipment forced local manufacturers to reroute these through North America and Europe.
However, with China resuming operations, the JMEA head anticipates that Jamaica's reserve of food items is sufficient to sustain the country until this supply chain is operating at full capacity.
Manufacturing in China is returning to levels before the outbreak which will ease disruptions to the supply chain. (South China Morning Post)
"China, the largest manufacturer in the world and a source of much raw material, is beginning to come back up. People will come back to work and orders are being taken and shipments will start going out again. We will get materials coming in and we will start manufacturing, even if it is at a lower level because of the availability of people, but the idea is not to disrupt the supply chain to consumers and customers."
Pandohie said collaboration between the Government and private-sector companies in the distributive trade will further strengthen the country's resilience as they work together to confront the public health emergency.

"We are meeting to give a proposal to the Government on how we can work with the Government to ensure that we have as much stability and calm as possible and to take the panic out of the situation, and to see what mitigation activities we can put in place to prepare for some of the fallout," he added.
"In the crisis, we believe there is a huge opportunity for us to step up to the plate and to show Jamaica that local manufacturing can perform and can take the place of many of the things we import, and we can deliver quality products in our time of need," the JMEA President said.

Cybermediacom launched in 2005 to meet businesses' growing need for video production, optimized for the Web. As an increasing number of entrepreneurs sought better exposure over multiple outlets, and the Internet in particular, our company has met that demand not only with video and consulting about how to optimize its online use, both on corporate websites and portals such as YouTube and Vimeo. For special projects, we also design and supply the hardware and software solutions required to capture, manipulate, and deliver quality video most effectively.
Matrox video processing products have played a key role in enabling some of our more innovative solutions. Among these is a solution we provide for a conference held by McGill University. The conference, "Gynecologic Cancer: Universal Access to Minimally Invasive Surgery," is hosted both by McGill University Gynecologic Oncology and The Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada. This first conference—in what is to be an annual educational event—featured the latest advances and up-to-date techniques in both advanced laparoscopic as well as robotic surgery for gynecological cancers. From the perspective of video delivery, this program also offered innovative production and broadcast of live video from two surgical sessions.
During this conference, we facilitated a broadcast from two operating rooms located at the Montreal General Hospital over a Bell Canada fiber optic link to the McGill University Health Centre, where it was shown in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre at the Montreal Neurological Hospital. Using the Matrox Convert DVI HD-SDI scan converter in two different configurations, we provided a solution that gave 250 delegates the opportunity to witness world-class surgeons perform surgeries for a variety of gynecological cancers, using robotic or non-robotic approaches, performed side by side. The parallel live surgery demonstration was designed to help gynecologic oncologists to think about which approach they would choose.
The first operation was a laparoscopy in which the doctor manipulated the Storz HD camera himself. The camera output was fed through its proprietary receiver unit with a DVI output to the Matrox Convert DVI Plus. In the second operation, a robotic system—equipped with a Storz camera and imaging system—was connected to a control unit with a DVI output that was in turn fed to the Convert DVI Plus. The HD-SDI outputs from both of the Matrox DVI-to-HD-SDI converters were fed into a switcher that fed projectors to enable a large-scale broadcast with a picture-in-picture function used to highlight both procedures at once.
The Convert DVI Plus was the ideal solution for this demonstration because it offered both the flexibility and exceptional video quality required, and it happens to be very affordable, too. Because this was a critical training application based on the HD images being captured during delicate surgical procedures, we couldn't afford any degradation of the signal or distortion of the images. Another key benefit of working with the Convert DVI Plus was that we were able to preconfigure each system to operate as a stand-alone unit, so no on-site computer was needed.
In using a Matrox product, we got the added value of the company's support team, as well as confidence in the reliability and performance of the unit. I've been a Matrox user for years, so I know the company offers solid products that last. As the second annual gynecologic oncology conference approaches this fall, I'm sure we'll find yet another innovative use for the Convert DVI Plus.

Last Updated 11/16/2012 - Log into your email account every morning - and if you're like most people - you'll find you're suddenly inundated with tempting local and online discounts on all sorts of goodies. From Groupon, to Living Social, to NYC's yipit.com, or to a thousand other daily deal clones - the "daily deal" business is ginormous and growing, in spite of the fact that the larger companies are becoming more careful with their screening and targeting techniques.
Since dentists, spas, salons and other entrepreneurs all may offer teeth whitening services; the field is crowded. That's why many providers have quickly jumped onto the "daily deal" bandwagon to attract new customers. Also, teeth whitening prices (like the field itself) are rarely standardized and not subject to legal overview, so it's fairly easy for any service provider to discount them.
And this is where the idea of purchasing a discount coupon/code or whatever for teeth whitening services becomes tricky. Teeth whitening costs usually depend on the service provider, the brand of teeth whitening used and the competitive landscape in their city or region. If a price seems to "good to be true" it probably is.
When is a Teeth Whitening Deal a Good Deal?
Let's remember the basics of teeth whitening first; you're putting a bleach formula into your mouth that's strong enough to change the color of your teeth. This isn't a "snap" decision–or rather it shouldn't be. Before a dentist recommends teeth whitening - he or she will look at several different factors, including your level of sensitivity and the general condition of your oral health. These are important because they can affect both the choice of the process to be used - and the ultimate success of any whitening effort.
Additionally, any dental service provider that knows his or her stuff understands the chemical process of teeth whitening - and that the whitening gel that's used is the key to good results with minimum sensitivity. And whitening gels - because they're not regulated - are where a lot of "daily deal" practitioners save money. Whitening gels need to be pH balanced, well-made and fresh. Their main ingredients are either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide - which are chemicals that break down over time resulting in less whitening power and a more acidic base. So, cheap gels may be cheap - but there's a good chance they won't whiten as well - or they may aggravate people with sensitive teeth and gums. Is that a deal you're willing to make?
1. Who is offering the service? For the very best in teeth whitening, go to a dentist. But if that isn't to your liking, at least make sure that the provider who's offering the service has a good reputation. Check out Yelp, see how long they've been in business. Read a testimonial. Check them out.
2. Is the price too low? Find out what reputable teeth whitening processes cost. Remember, teeth whitening is a largely unregulated field and service providers may purchase their materials from anywhere in the world. Don't let anyone put bleach into your mouth until you know where it comes from and when it was made.
3. Talk to friends and research online. In the daily deal field, immediacy is everything. You'll want to jump on that $39 deal right away - but take 5 minutes and call a friend. That might be all the time you need to recognize that what you thought was a great deal - could actually be a painful experience - or a rip-off altogether.
4. Lots of "no-name" companies or processes participate in daily deals - so here's the best rule of thumb - if you've never heard of the "brand" and the price is too good to be true - don't do the "deal."
We want everyone to have white teeth - that's our business. But we want our readers to enjoy good overall health as well. Don't make the mistake of trading one for the other - just to save a few bucks. That won't make anyone smile.

Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Gurdaspur
Gurudwara Darbar Sahib better known as Gurudwara Dera Baba Nanak is situated in Dera Baba Naik, a small city located in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India. The city lies at a distance of about 1 km from the India – Pakistan border. Considered one of the most sacred cities of the Sikhs, Dera Baba Nanak is situated on the banks of the river Ravi. The city gets its name from Guru Nanak Dev, the first of the Sikh gurus. It is believed that Guru Nanak Dev settled and spent his last days in the nearby village of Kartarpur that now lies across the border in Pakistan.
Descendants of Guru Nanak Dev, the Bedis, constructed a new town and named it Dera Baba Nanak in honour of their great ancestor, the Sikh guru. Dera Baba Nanak is a town deeply soaked in history. Many of the buildings in this town can be dated back to the life and times of Guru Nanak Dev and have been preserved in their original form by the locals. An important place of pilgrimage for those who practice Sikhism, the town is littered with Sikh temples. The Gurudwara Sahib of Kartarpur, situated in Pakistan can be easily seen from this side of the border and pilgrims come in large numbers for this view to Dera Baba Nanak.
Gurudwara Sri Darbar Sahib
Descendants of Sri Guru Nanak Dev built the gurudwara Sri Darbar Sahib to commemorate their ancestor, the founding guru of the Sikhs. He is said to have come here after his first tour, known as Udasi in December 1515 AD to visit the members of his family. Devotees believe that Guru Nanak used to meditate regularly by a well that is known as "Ajita Randhawa da Khooh" to understand God.
As one enters the gurudwara, one is greeted with a stunning golden dome or "gumbad" that adorns the top of the structure. This dome was financed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji and adds to the glory of the holy site. The entire gurudwara is covered in white marble slabs, a symbol of the pure and holy nature of the place. The two storey building comprises of a larger hall at ground level that houses a stage on which Guru Nanak Dev is believed to have had a discussion with Ajita Randhawa.
The upper story of the building is bordered by a pavilion on all sides with small octagonal domes marking every corner of the gurudwara. Each of these domes has arched sun windows on all four sides and copper spires on top.
In centre, there is a main hall, with similar arches along all four of its walls and it is panelled with glass windows and doors. This hall is covered on top with the main dome of the gurudwara, a massive octagonal structure that is exceedingly beautiful. The dome is adorned with intricate brick filigree work and is entirely plated in gold. The main lotus shaped gumbad is flanked on all four sides by four smaller domes, also filigreed and covered in gold. These smaller domes are identical to the domes on the balcony of the second storey, marked by their arches and sun windows. Each of the domes, including the main lotus shaped dome made of gold is topped by a copper spire that comprises of three balls.
The main gurudwara is surrounded on all four sides by a carefully manicured garden that adds to the sense of peace that the structure gives to the visitors. Pilgrims belonging to the Sikh religion come in large numbers to pay their respects at this historical and holy site.
Best Time for Visit
The best time to visit Gurudwara Darbar Sahib, Dera Baba Nanak is during the early season of winters in the months October and November, when the day temperature is pleasant and ideal for long walks.
Tips For The Visit
Remember, that the gurudwara is a sacred place for the Sikhs. While both men and women are allowed inside the gurudwara, it is important to cover your heads. So do not forget to carry a scarf with you.
How to Reach The City
The nearest railway station is at Gurdaspur which is 39 kms away from the site. The nearest airport is at Amritsar, approximately 55 kms away from the site. Dera Baba Nanak is connected by road to major cities in North India through Gurdaspur.

Arahama and Natori area that used to be rice production areas are now not able to cultivate rice anymore as the entire infrastructure needed for rice production such as drains, gutters, and drainage pumps etc. were totally damaged by Great East Japan Earthquake in addition to the fact that salt contamination in the farm land is increased after the Tsunami. Commonly used countermeasure for brine damage is to inject pure water to the farmland to rotate soil so as to melt contaminated salt in the water to drain out of it with support provided by the Government. Nevertheless, this countermeasure is not working in Arahama and Natori area as most of the drain infrastructure are damaged. Under these circumstances, aiming towards disaster reconstruction and agricultural reactivation, we can plant salt-tolerant "cotton," restart agriculture, and further prevent farm retirement as well as to provide employment for the farmers who lost their work. Some of the devastated farmers have shifted to cotton plantation. Cotton production and distribution has already been started by many apparel related companies who agreed on this reconstruction support project.
Tohoku Cotton Project is to provide "Tohoku Cotton Project" brand products that are planted, produced, and distributed by a TEAM of Tsunami devastated farmers and apparel companies. You can be a part of the project TEAM by purchasing products so as to cooperate supporting devastated farmers in Tohoku.
