Residents of Ramkrishna Nagar in Khar (West) are not a happy bunch. They are annoyed with the civic body for cutting down old and huge trees that were on a ground in the area, thereby reducing the green cover. Owner of the ground BMC now plans to use the space to build a ward office there.
While the BMC has claimed that it will plant other trees in that space, residents and activists are upset over the environmental damage and noise pollution.
"The ground is right next to my home. Before this, if one looked out the window from my house, all one could see was greenery — the ground was covered by at least five huge trees, which have now been cut from the base. Also, the workers have been using chainsaws to cut the trees, that has caused noise pollution in the area," said Gitanjali Chandrasekharan, a resident.
A civic official from the garden department, however, said they had taken permission from the Tree Authority and even put up a notice before starting the work. They had even cleared all the legal procedures before cutting the trees, he added, confirming that new trees have been planted in place of the old ones.
When mid-day contacted the superintendent of the garden department, JV Pardeshi, he refused to comment.
But environmentalists are not convinced by BMC's reasoning and criticised it for the way it has gone about the whole thing.
"If authorities cut down a tree from one place and implant it in another area, it will be as lifeless as a showpiece. In the last year, thousands of trees have died because of BMC's carelessness; the remaining the civic body is cutting down on some or the other pretext. This is clearly an insensitive attitude towards the city's environment," said Stalin D, environmentalist and director of NGO Vanashakti.

Ava Taught Me and First Impressions of 2015.
January 16, 2015 slbAva DuVernay, betrayal, disappointment, failed friendships, people pleasers, personal growth, Selma 5 Comments
I wrote something about Ava Duvernay and black women bold enough to interpret history — their own and others'. I published it at Medium, rather than posting it here, because it didn't feel like it was a fit for this space.
Every January, I reassess what I want to do with this blog. Every year (for the seven it's been in existence), it serves the purpose it's meant to. I was fortunate enough last year to have appearances and publications to announce, as well as meditations on news and culture to publish. I'm not sure what 2015 will hold. Maybe more of the same. Or maybe the landscape will change.
I just know this year has been strange so far.
First, I was paid an extra month's salary for my last contract job. It was an oversight. But it was I've never been on the receiving end of that kind of financial oversight: a full check — directly deposited — for the entire month of December. I didn't work the month of December; my contract ended on November 30. I really, really could've used the money. Seeing my account balance after its deposit really drove home that point. And it wasn't clear how soon anyone in accounting would catch the error (if ever). Of course I knew I couldn't keep the money. But knowledge and action found themselves briefly at odds.
The first thing I did was start telling people*. And the first person I decided to tell was a great friend who I suspected — but wasn't entirely sure — would see things as I did. In situations like these, when I need a minor pep talk to prepare myself to be as ethical as I know I have to be, the people I consult have to be people who won't tempt me. They can't be people who'll remind me that I'm not working or point to the bills I could pay with the money or spend a half-hour calculating an invented New Math about labor-to-time-to-worth-to-pay ratios.
I just need someone who will calmly confirm what I need to do. In this case, I chose the right person and set about doing the right thing. (If that pays off in any obvious, estimable karmic way in the future, I'll let you know).
What the incident reminded me is how closely we have to monitor our ethics, how intentional we have to be about listening to our consciences. People always talk about listening to your inner voice — and/or to the still, small voice of God — but that isn't always the immediate, logical response. You have to quiet worry — which is loud — and your propensity for sketchiness, which can be quite imperceptible at first, in order to follow the suggestion of your conscience.
The only other big thing that happened this year is that, in catching up with a friend I rarely get to talk to, I accidentally texted the very person we were discussing. And what I was saying wasn't glowing. It was hurtful and infuriating to the unintentional recipient and it severed an already taut, hair-thin cord we'd both been working hard to hold up at its ends.
What that incident is teaching me is that I am not the same person to everyone. To some, I'm caring and kind and generous and fair; to others, begrudging, bitchy, and patently unfair in my characterization of them.
As a person who often wants more than anything to please and to remain unobjectionable and inoffensive — even at high personal cost — it bothers me a great deal to know that I can be hurtful and nasty, ferociously unlikable. It scares me, in fact, because I am inclined to believe the worst about myself. If I know that someone I care about finds me hurtful or given to betrayal of confidence, or inflexible or unforgiving, even cruel, I worry that he isn't the only person who sees me that way — or worse, that I'll eventually reveal myself to be that way with everyone I love.
But what's real is that every person views us a bit differently than the next — which means that each encounter with any of them gives us a new opportunity to be the version of ourselves we hope (but often fail) to be, with everyone. We have an inexhaustible capacity to be incredible for some and deeply offensive to others. And when we have been the latter, there may be no convincing the offended party that we can be better to them than they've experienced us to be in the past. Sometimes, we have to settle for being someone's personal definition of terrible.
I apologized. The jury's still out on whether or not it will be accepted, but I think in accidentally revealing what's frustrated me, I feel like a more genuine, if less likable, person. Losing my place in a person's high esteem feels worth it if, in the end, I'm not pretending to be better than I actually am.
… At least that feels like the lesson today. Check back with me in a week or two, and I may sound like someone else entirely.
Read the DuVernay piece. I've been told it's not too shabby. I hope you'll be able to concur.
* I tell someone nearly everything about myself. I don't know why; the reasons change. The person changes. It's part accountability and part confession/absolution. Sometimes I just need confirmation that I'm not irrational — or that I am. I'm not a talker, by any stretch, but as someone who spends as much time close-lipped as I do, I'm a near-full discloser. Secrecy, in my personal experience, has proven overrated. Discretion, on the other hand, has value beyond measure.

I haven't been able to blog here in over a month and I miss it. I didn't want anyone who follows me here to believe I've abandoned this space. It's my sanctum. But I've had the very good problem of being swamped with paid writing work — in so much that some of the things I might've written here have been placed — or will be placed — at very cool websites.
Writing on deadline and being increasingly line-edited by people committed to making the work better than I can make it on my own (disjointed as my trains of thought have become with the noise of my toddler, the relocation of her dad to town, after years living on the other side of the country, and the demands of raising a child while working a day job from home) has been rewarding and humbling.
October was a rough month for me. My life felt racked with big, disconcerting change and I wasn't sure how to adjust to any of it. I'm still figuring that out, but I've had experience. I have to remind myself that, in the years since my daughter was born, I've transitioned out of adjunct college instruction, moved from Michigan to Maryland, navigated the IEP and pediatric audiological processes with my daughter, written for various national publications, started an online community for single parents of color, and scored a fellowship in social media community engagement. I'm constantly criticizing myself for not being "further along" in my career, but sometimes, we've just got to stop and assess the ground we've already gained. In fact, if we don't take the time to do that, we'll reach a point where it's difficult to know what's left to conquer and which direction to turn in order to pursue any of it.
In less than a week, I'll turn 35 — and it's a good age, a good time. I'm not at all where I envisioned myself, when I was younger and strained to imagine what it would feel like to be just five years shy of 40. But I'm making my way and it's been an incredible trip. The past month in particular has been teaching me things I've actively avoided learning:
Forgiveness from afar looks different than forgiveness up close. And sometimes you think you're over things, simply because you've enjoyed a great deal of physical distance from them. But there's always a closing of that distance. There's always a day of reckoning.
I'm not my best self when I'm afraid. And it's incredible how quickly and drastically fear can make you regress.
It's an honor to be receiving an increased number of requests to write. But it's also okay to decline those requests when I'm overextended or just going through something that'll compromise the quality (or punctuality) of the work. Not everything is about "writing through it," and you don't always have to push yourself. Or, I don't, at least. I shouldn't speak for anyone else there.
If you sense that you're plateauing, you probably are. Take on assignments that won't be such cakewalks for you. (For me, that's meant scaling back my unfiltered, unedited blogging here and letting my words go under other writers'/editors' scalpels. It's changing the way I compose and making me less certain of where a piece is going — which can be pretty thrilling (if also terrifying and debilitating).
At some point, it can't hurt to find yourself a therapist. I've never had one; finding one will probably be my birthday gift to myself. There are things I need to work on in the next five years that aren't career-specific or even particularly measurable — social and emotional things — that I don't think I can handle anymore without help from an objective outside party.
My performance of adulthood has sharpened in my 30s. Like Nicole Richie is saying in the gifs above, I'm finally ready to declare myself a grown-up. Mostly. I'm definitely still living like a glorified commuter student in a lot of ways. And that's okay. Mostly. There's no one way to live, no single set of social markers that we have to reach in order to declare ourselves mature or well-adjusted or highly-functioning. We just have to keep going.
So I plan to greet my next year of life, incomparable gift that it is, with contentment.
In the meantime, I'm pleased to announce that I've been published in Buzzfeed. Twice. Here, I'm talking about mothering and empathy. And here, I'm talking about Bill Cosby's pre-Huxtable persona and how it leaves me feeling less shock and betrayal about the "good" doctor's alleged bad deeds.
Also look out for a short piece on The Hurston-Wright Foundation I've penned for the Jan/Feb '15 issue of Poets & Writers, a piece in The Guardian (hopefully; I'll edit to embed a link when/if that goes live), and a long feature on black fatherhood in Colorlines, scheduled for publication in the upcoming week.


The Jewry Wall, Leicester, is one of the largest remaining Roman masonry structures in Britain, and the only element of the Roman town of Ratae Coritanorum to survive. Built in about AD 160, it formed the entrance to the public baths. The wall later became the west wall of the original Saxon church of St Nicholas, which ensured its survival.
Two thousand years ago, Leicester was an important settlement for the Corieltavi, a native British tribe who occupied the area known today as the East Midlands. Following the Roman conquest of AD 43 the town was called Ratae Corieltavorum. It became a thriving centre for the next 400 years.
A grid of streets was laid out for the Roman town. In the 2nd century the town's public buildings included the forum (the administrative centre or market), basilica, market hall, and public baths, which were completed by about AD 160.
Medieval builders demolished the rest of the baths in order to reuse the stone, leaving only one fragment, the Jewry Wall, upstanding. The wall had by that time become the west wall of the church of St Nicholas, built during the Anglo-Saxon period.
How the wall became known as the 'Jewry Wall' is uncertain. Its name might derive from the 24 'Jurats' or medieval borough councillors who held meetings in the churchyard. In 1722 the antiquarian William Stukeley called it 'The Jury Wall' on his map of the town.
At this time the wall was commonly known as the Temple of Janus. Janus was the Roman god of gateways: as the wall resembled a gateway, it was thought to be the west gate of the town and was sometimes referred to as 'the Janua of the old City'.
The modern spelling was in use in the early 19th century, but there is no known link to a Jewish quarter.
The remains of the Roman baths were discovered by chance in 1936 when a factory was demolished to build a new swimming baths. Pioneering archaeologist Dame Kathleen Mary Kenyon (1906–78) excavated the current site between 1936 and 1939.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation is starting to look like that unexpected — and unwanted — houseguest who just won't leave.
For months, many economists had sounded a reassuring message that a spike in consumer prices, something that had been missing in action in the U.S. for a generation, wouldn't stay long. It would prove "transitory,'' in the soothing words of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and White House officials, as the economy shifted from virus-related chaos to something closer to normalcy.
Yet as any American who has bought a carton of milk, a gallon of gas or a used car could tell you, inflation has settled in. And economists are now voicing a more discouraging message: Higher prices will likely last well into next year, if not beyond.
On Friday, the government reinforced that message with its report that the consumer price index soared 6.8% last month from a year earlier — the biggest 12-month jump since 1982.
And the sticker shock is hitting where families tend to feel it most. At the breakfast table, for instance: Bacon prices are up 21% over the past year, egg prices 8%. Gasoline has surged 58%. Furnishing your living room, dining room or kitchen will set you back 14% more than it would have a year ago. Used cars? Up 31%.
And though pay is up sharply for many workers, it isn't nearly enough to keep up with prices. Last month, average hourly wages in the United States, after accounting for inflation, actually fell 2.4% compared with November 2020.
Economists at Wells Fargo have joked grimly that the Labor Department's CPI — the Consumer Price Index — should stand for "Consumer Pain Index.'' Unfortunately for consumers, especially lower-wage households, it's all coinciding with their higher spending needs right before the holiday season.
The price squeeze is escalating pressure on the Fed to shift more quickly away from years of easy-money policies. And it poses a threat to President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats and their ambitious spending plans.
WHAT CAUSED THE PRICE SPIKES?
Much of it is the flipside of very good news. Slammed by COVID-19, the U.S. economy collapsed in the spring of 2020 as lockdowns took effect, businesses closed or cut hours and consumers stayed home as a health precaution. Employers slashed 22 million jobs. Economic output plunged at a record-shattering 31% annual rate in last year's April-June quarter.
Everyone braced for more misery. Companies cut investment. Restocking was put off. And a brutal recession ensued.
Yet instead of sinking into a prolonged downturn, the economy staged an unexpectedly rousing recovery, fueled by massive government spending and a bevy of emergency moves by the Fed. By spring, the rollout of vaccines had emboldened consumers to return to restaurants, bars and shops.
Suddenly, businesses had to scramble to meet demand. They couldn't hire fast enough to plug job openings — a near record 11 million in October — or buy enough supplies to fill customer orders. As business roared back, ports and freight yards couldn't handle the traffic. Global supply chains became snarled.
Costs rose. And companies found that they could pass along those higher costs in the form of higher prices to consumers, many of whom had managed to sock away a ton of savings during the pandemic.
"A sizeable chunk of the inflation we're seeing is the inevitable result of coming out of the pandemic,'' said Jason Furman, an economic adviser in the Obama White House now at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Furman suggested, though, that misguided policy played a role, too. Policymakers were so intent on staving off an economic collapse that they "systematically underestimated inflation," he said.
"They poured kerosene on the fire.''
A flood of government spending — including President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, with its $1,400 checks to most households in March — overstimulated the economy, Furman said.
"Inflation is a lot higher in the United States than it is in Europe,'' he noted. "Europe is going through the same supply shocks as the United States is, the same supply chain issues. But they didn't do nearly as much stimulus.''
Biden has acknowledged that inflation hurts Americans' pocketbooks and said that containing inflation is a priority. But he said his $1 trillion infrastructure package, including spending on roads, bridges and ports, will help ease supply bottlenecks and therefore inflationary pressures.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Consumer price inflation will likely endure as long as companies struggle to keep up with consumers' prodigious demand for goods and services. A resurgent job market — employers have added 6.1 million jobs this year — means that Americans can continue to splurge on everything from lawn furniture to new cars.
"The demand side of the U.S. economy will continue to be something to behold,'' says Rick Rieder, chief investment officer for global fixed income at Blackrock, "and companies will continue to have the luxury of passing through prices."
Megan Greene, chief economist at the Kroll Institute, suggested that inflation and the overall economy will eventually return to something closer to normal.
"I think it will be 'transitory','' she said of inflation. "But economists have to be very honest about defining transitory, and I think this could last another year easily.''
"We need a lot of humility talking about how long this lasts," Furman said. "I think it's with us for a while. The inflation rate is going to come down from this year's blistering pace, but it's still going to be very, very high compared to the historical norms we have been used to.''
WILL WE SUFFER A RETURN OF 1970'S-STYLE 'STAGFLATION'?
The run-up in consumer prices has raised the specter of a return to the "stagflation'' of the 1970s. That was when higher prices coincided with high unemployment in defiance of what conventional economists thought was possible.
Yet today's situation looks very different. Unemployment is relatively low, and households overall are in good shape financially. The Conference Board, a business research group, found that consumers' inflation expectations last month were the highest they'd been since July 2008. But their overall confidence remains at high levels.
Economic growth, after slowing from July through September in response to the highly contagious delta variant, is thought to be bouncing back in the final quarter of 2021.
"Most economists are expecting growth to accelerate in the fourth quarter," Greene said. "So it doesn't suggest that we're facing both a tanking of growth and higher inflation. We're just facing higher inflation.''
WHAT SHOULD POLICYMAKERS DO?
The pressure is on the Fed, which is charged with keeping a lid on inflation, to control prices.
The central bank has begun to counter inflation pressures by reducing its $120 billion in monthly bond purchases by $15 billion a month. Those purchases, launched last summer, were intended to hold down long-term interest rates to spur borrowing and spending.
But with inflation pressures persisting longer than the Powell Fed had expected, the central bank is widely expected to announce as soon as next week that it will accelerate its pullback of the bond purchases.
Doing so would put the Fed on a path to begin raising its key short-term interest rate as early as the first half of next year. That rate has been pegged at nearly zero since March 2020, when the coronavirus sent the economy into a deep recession. Raising rates that soon would be much earlier than was expected as recently as this summer, when Fed policymakers forecast that they wouldn't do so until late 2023.
"We've been fighting non-existent inflation since the 1990s,'' said Diane Swonk, chief economist at the accounting and consulting firm Grant Thornton, "and now we're talking about fighting an inflation that is real.''

BUILDING UP THE COMMUNITY. IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.
Ames Construction has a long history of supporting the communities in which we live and work. Across the regions, we support countless organizations, large and small, with financial contributions, event sponsorships and in-kind work. And it's not just at the corporate level. You can see the giving spirit in our employees, who volunteer immeasurable hours of their time. Dozens of charities in every region benefit from the helping hands extended by our employees. Here are just a few.
Warming House Renovations
While constructing the Highway 43 Bridge Project in Winona, Minnesota, Ames workers donated and served a meal to guests at the Winona Community Warming Center in December of 2018. Learning of the need for expansion, Ames contacted suppliers for materials donations, and Ames donated the work to build it. Ames renovated the original sleeping quarters into a full-sized kitchen and dining room, the main area became the new storage and sleeping quarters, and two new bathrooms and an extra shower were added. Multiple community organizations and volunteers came together to complete the finishing work on the project, which opened November 1, 2019. In recognition for its efforts to plan and construct the expansion, Ames Construction received the 2018 Warming Center Community Outreach Award from Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota.
More than 2,000 people literally lit up Harriet Island in Minneapolis during the annual Light the Night event this past October to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Minnesota Chapter. In addition to an Ames- sponsored Glow Zone booth, Ames volunteers joined in the celebration to honor patients, survivors and the strides forward to end cancer. The family- friendly event included food, fun for the kids, and fireworks. Following an uplifting opening ceremony of people sharing their personal stories, thousands walked a mile-long path around Harriet Island carrying symbolic, illuminated Light the Night lanterns to bring light to the darkness of cancer.
Angel's Hands
The mission of Angel's Hands Foundation (AHF) is to, "Improve the quality of life for individuals living with rare and undiagnosed diseases." Founded in 2001, the non-profit offers financial support and provides year-round opportunities to help Utah families create memories that will sadly outlast many of their special children's lives. Ames is proud to have been the Foundation's first corporate sponsor. According to Co-founder Mark Kristensen, "For more than 18 years, Ames has helped AHF grow from a small organization supporting 10 families with various forms of a single rare disease, to an amazing foundation that supports about 600 families with more than 200 rare and undiagnosed medical conditions."

Over 30 youth leaders from different states joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in presence of its youth wing chief and Mumbai north central MP Poonam Mahajan, the party said on Tuesday.
Mahajan on Monday had initiated the party's membership drive for youngsters from the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), which is considered as stronghold of left parties' student organisations. Describing JNU as 'Ganga' of the country, she said India's integrity is safe under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi.
Among those who joined the party is Raees Ahmad Bhat from J&K, whose younger brother Gowhar Ahmad Bhat, BJP youth wing chief in Shopian, was killed in 2017.
Twenty-nine year old specially-abled girl Disha Maru , with Down syndrome also joined the party. She has won 2 bronze medals in Swimming in Asia Pacific special Olympic Games 2013, in Australia. She has also won a National Award in dancing in 2000.Arjun Awardee Judo Player Yashpal Solanki, International Basket ball Player Yogesh Kadaria, National Hockey Player Sumeet Shukla among others also joined the party.
Mahajan said, "BJYM will reach out to the 60% young population in the country and motivate them to join the BJP."


The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. - Martin Luther King Jr.
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Don't Panic est le quatrième single issu de l'album studio Parachutes, le premier album du groupe anglais Coldplay.

Historique

Don't Panic est aussi le premier titre de l'album. Il s'appelait à l'origine « Panic » et était l'un des six morceaux joués lors de leur premier concert en 1998. Il est possible que le nom ait été changé en référence à Douglas Adams et à son célèbre livre Le Guide du voyageur galactique dont la devise était Don't panic. Radiohead, groupe auquel est souvent comparé Coldplay, a nommé une de ses chansons Paranoid Android, ce qui est une autre référence au « guide ». La chanson est à tort souvent désignée Beautiful World, en raison de ses paroles.

La toute première version de Don't Panic fut enregistrée en juillet 1999, et figure sur le Blue Room EP. On remarquera plusieurs différences, notamment en ce qui concerne la pause instrumentale (où Chris Martin joue au piano) et les paroles.

Durant la tournée mondiale qui suivit la sortie de A Rush of Blood to the Head, la chanson fit partie du set. Comme on le voit dans le Live 2003, la chanson est considérablement rallongée pendant la pause instrumentale, et Jon Buckland joue un solo d'harmonica. L'instrument était bien souvent jeté dans le public, pour le plus grand plaisir des fans.

Clip

Le vidéo clip, réalisé par Tim Hope (il a aussi réalisé le clip de Trouble), commence par une représentation animée du cycle de l'eau. Un zoom est alors fait sur une petite maison : on y voit les quatre membres du groupe, en 2D (leurs corps sont dessinés et leurs visages sont comme découpés) en train de s'occuper (Chris fait la cuisine par exemple). Le bâtiment prend l'eau, le groupe est emporté par une vague, et dérive au fond de l'eau. Puis la caméra remonte à la surface, et les usines explosent, des cataclysmes surviennent, tout est détruit. La planète prend alors la forme du globe jaune présent sur la pochette de l'album. Le dernier plan montre les quatre membres de Coldplay dans une barque (Guy rame, Will cuisine, Chris joue de la guitare et Jon pêche).

Latest 'Rise of Skywalker' Rumor Involving Rey Is an Absolute Shocker
Latest Rise of Skywalker Rumor Involving Rey Is an Absolute Shocker
A new rumor has surfaced with some mighty big implications regarding Rey and her place in the Star Wars universe.
B. Alan Orange
We have a hot new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker rumor that will deliver quite a shock to the system if proven true. Right now, this is just a murmur on the Internet, but if legit, it could be the saga ending sequel's biggest twist. So rest assured, if you don't want to know what's really going on with Rey this December, you better stop reading right now, because this is possibly the most startling secret contained in the movie's runtime.
That said, it could just be another flight of fancy flown in from the depths of the Internet. Even before The Force Awakens arrived in theaters, Star Wars fans were curious about Rey's parents. It was set up as a big mystery, only for us to all find out that Rey's parents were really nobodies, space drunks, basically human garbage. Well, now we may know the real motive behind Kylo Ren telling Rey this, if the latest intel all pans out.
RELATED: The Rise of Skywalker Concept Art Moves a Key Moment to Coruscant
The Last Jedi propped up Rey's unnamed parents as junk traders who left her on the planet Jakku for gas money. But it sounds like J.J. Abrams is definitely retconning this part of the story, which will allow for an old favorite to possibly even return.
This rumor doesn't identify Rey's mom, but it clues us into who her real dad is, and you probably already know. And it makes sense why Kylo Ren would lie about it. Apparently Rey's father plays a major factor in what is about to play out, and as it's explained in the forthcoming narrative, it won't erase all that we've learned beforehand in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
Redditor u/SorryNotSpartacus is reportedly sharing a big secret that was originally revealed by Jason Ward of Making Star Wars, whose legitimacy wavers in ebbs and flows. As it will be revealed in The Rise of Skywalker, Rey is not a Skywalker by name or blood. Though if Luke is resurrected as a new kind of grey Jedi, she may become a Skywalker in title. But she has strong ties to the Skywalker family.
Turn back now if you don't want to know the possible identity of Rey's real dad. But it's reported that her father is in fact Han Solo. Only, her mother was not Leia. This makes her the half-sister to Ben Solo. And if this is all true, then it makes all of Rey and Kylo's Force flirting in The Last Jedi almost as cringe worthy as Leia kissing Luke in The Empire Strikes Back.
Han as Rey's father will allegedly play a major role in the story as The Rise of Skywalker brings the previous 9 movies to the finish line. But there won't be any backtracking to what has already come before it. Perhaps the people who raised Rey are actually junk traders. Or, Kylo knows her secret, and feeling betrayed by his father, has kept the truth from his sister as a way to torture and betray her like he did his own dad when he sent that red hot lighsaber blade through Han's trusting heart.
There was reportedly a scene in The Rise of Skywalker presentation at Star Wars Celebration that revealed Finn and Poe sitting down to dinner with Lando, and it's suggested this is when everyone learns of Rey's parentage. But if Leia is not the mother, how is Rey so Force sensitive? Who is her real mother? Jason Ward says this, surely raising Eyes Very Suspicious.
"Rey is Han Solo's daughter. But she is not Leia Organa's daughter -- and therefore is not a Skywalker. Leia and Han were estranged when she began training with Luke. When she did not complete that training she returned to Han, but Ben Solo knew of the affair (although not necessarily about Rey), and began acting out, and this was when he was sent to Luke."
Hmm. Does that make sense? For now, Ward claims this should only be taken as a rumor, which you can see in his tweet below. It was further reported that Rey's mother is definitely not Keri Russell's Zorri. Some speculate that Rey's mom is Qi'ra, but was Qi'ra one with the force?
Having Rey be Kylo's half-sister would explain their strong connection. And why Ben Solo has such a strange fascination with the emerging Jedi. It also explains Rey's immediate connection to Han Solo in The Force Awakens, and why they seemed to bond as a surrogate father and daughter.
If Rey's real parents are to be unveiled in The Rise of Skywalker, it probably won't be in any of the promo material released for the movie leading up to the big release this December. The movie might not even explore Rey's true parentage, leaving the mystery truly answered by The Last Jedi. However it all shakes out, you Can't Always Please Savages with a taste for Rose pedal pie. This info was first shared on Reddit.
It means I didn't see anything empirically that allows me to say "yep, has to be it!" It means its a thing out there but I'm not confident enough to put it on the site so Randy and I just talked about it from my notes.

Hi - my starboard 2007 Suzuki DF140 is throwing a 1-1 code which looks to be Rectifier & regulator (over charging) issues.
My battery terminals are clean and the rectifier ground looks ok. I know my batteries are old.
- could old batteries cause this?
- has anyone replaces the rectifier? Can it be done in the slip?
With starboard running alone, the starter battery ramps up from 14V to 16.55 and starts to decline, at around 16.4 the alarm sounds.
I think the 14V starting point was because I had the engines both running for many 15 minutes so there was a carry over charge.
Do you think that means it has to be starboards rectifier?
Well, to get the discussion started, here's a few comments. Remember I only owned a couple of Suzuki motorcycles 40 years ago.
First of all, 16.2 VDC is high for a lead-acid battery. As a matter of fact, anything over 15 VDC is a bit high. So one should suspect the regulator, or something that regulates the output voltage of the alternator. Are you sure the motors are feeding batteries directly? Usually the battery bank will hold the alternator output to about 15 VDC max since the alternator is current limited. Try running a wire directly from the motors alternator output to the battery around the switches, etc.
Second, the alternator, regulator and rectifier are kept out of harms way to avoid any contact with water, salt or otherwise. So, I'd bet that you can replace the thing without pulling the boat out of the water. An owners manual would be a good investment.
Note that Journey On's Honda produces 40 amps also and I've only seen 14.5-15 VDC when running. Of course you've got two of them feeding ??? batteries.
The readings I gave were directly from the battery terminal. Does that change anything?
Since I'm reading an overcharge, could that mean it could be a ground issue and not a bad rectifier?
I tried to see where the black ground wire connects but I was unable without dismantling the engine and I was not prepared to do that.
OK, you're getting 16.4 VDC at the battery, which says that nothing is getting into the battery (or accurately, very little.) At 16 VDC those batteries should be boiling fairly well. 16 is more than my battery charger puts out to normalize the batteries.
So try a couple of things, and I'm ballparking it here, but see if there's any water left in the batteries. If you're uncertain about the ground, run a ground wire directly back to the alternator. I assume one can reach it by just taking the cowl off.
Have you asked Suzuki or a dealer what the maximum voltage those alternators will put out? That's only a phone call and would stop a lot of guessing. Or get a service manual, they have troubleshooting procedures there. The engine monitor is reading the high voltage and setting the code, so something's not normal.
[quote="Westie"]Hi - my starboard 2007 Suzuki DF140 is throwing a 1-1 code which looks to be Rectifier & regulator (over charging) issues.
1- could old batteries cause this?
No. Think Magneto, Rotor is under the flywheel along with the stator. Rectifier/ regulator is external but not very accessible.
Thanks guys. Ill run back to the marina and check the battery fluids. I bought the batteries in 2014 so they are near their life span I'm guessing. I think I'll just replace them and go from there.
I'll also put some calls into suzuki dealers.
I ordered a new rectifier/regulator and drove out to the slip to attempt to install it. I got the old rectifier off with the exception of a ground wire that was behind the plastics fuse box. It turns out, after reading the manual much closer, this wire can only be removed after a larger disassembly which I was comfortable with. So I reconnected and bolted everything back.
I hate electrical issue and especially hate an issue without a root cause!
If it doesn't occur again, I would think the the root cause was disconnecting and reconnecting those connectors you screwed with. And I don't feel bad about saying that. It's a common occurrence.
If it happens again, undo and redo the same connections and see what the result is. Also, check the water in the batteries.
If 15.5v doesn't taper off to 14-14.5v after a while you are going to boil your battery's. How many amps @ 15.5v?
Greatly appreciate the input guys!
My batteries are sealed so there is no water lever to check as far as I know.
It seemed like the voltage was decreasing but only after 15+ min. I didn't check amps. What range should I look for?

This year, Santa has brought us a wonderful gift—a fresh and funny take on life around the holidays entitled The Twelve Dates of Christmas. Santa had a lot of help from writer Ginna Hoben, Director Abigail Isaac, and actress Kari Ginsburg, who have delivered the perfect mix of laughs, pathos, and perceptive insights on being single, dating, and family.
Kari Ginsburg. Photo by Jonathan Harvey.
Ginsburg plays the role of Mary, an engaged woman who, on her favorite day of the year, watches at her family's home in Ohio as the TV camera catches her fiancé kissing another woman at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. The story continues from there as we watch Mary dating a series of men over the next year. This is a one-woman show so Ginsburg plays all the roles, including her mother, sister, Aunt Kathy, several men, and even a little boy.
Let me interrupt here a moment with a confession. Generally, I am not a fan of one-actor productions but Ginsburg made me rethink my personal policy about such shows. She is terrific with voices, accents, postures, making us see the many characters with whom she is interacting. I was never confused as she jumped back and forth between the role of Mary and other characters. One scene where Mary is talking on the telephone with her mother after a bad breakup is particularly strong.
In the opening minutes of the performance, I was fairly certain I was going to like this character as she be-bopped around the homey set, interacting with several audience members who are sitting on couches on stage, and just generally having a good time. My instincts were well-founded as the actress displayed an unbridled enthusiasm as well as an authenticity that, at times, had me thinking she wrote the script since she seems so genuine in the role. She must be exhausted at the conclusion since she keeps the show moving at a fairly intense pace.
The entire production team is to be congratulated for their work. The bi-level set supports the multi-location story but always returns us safely back home. The music is well integrated and the lighting was never overdone.
Ultimately, the show finds its center and heart without a diabetes-inducing, sugar-coated ending that can often be found in holiday classics. Kudos to NextStep Theatre Company for this smart, witty, and satisfying addition to holiday theater. Some Christmas shows feel like they reach their expiration date as soon as the clock strikes twelve on Christmas night, but The Twelve Dates of Christmas will still be fresh even after the 25th.
So ladies, grab your friends, get your tickets, and make it a great 'Ladies Night Out.' Men, trust me, you'll hit a home run if you take your partner out for a date to see The Twelve Dates of Christmas. You'll be happy you did.
he Twelve Dates of Christmas plays through December 29, 2013, at The Industrial Strength Theater – 269 Sunset Park Drive, in Herndon, VA. For tickets, call (866) 811-4111, or purchase them online.

CharityStars: Limited Edition Ferrari Michael Schumacher Memorabilia Offered For Auction
Category: UK, London
Published on Friday, 23 December 2016 12:22
Written by Press Release
The Ferrari F2004 was not only one of the most successful, but also one of the most iconic Ferrari Formula 1 cars of all time, being the very last model that was designed by the all-conquering Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne duo, under the leadership of Jean Todt.
It brought to a close Ferrari's period of domination with Michael Schumacher, resulting in the legendary German's seventh and final world title (which also happened to be his fifth in a row).
The car won an astonishing 15 out of 18 races in the hands of Schumacher and his team mate Rubens Barrichello: 13 of those wins were scored by Schumacher, who set what was then the record for the highest number of victories in one season.
It was domination on a scale that was rarely seen, underlining the qualities of the F2004, which was the most extreme evolution of a design concept first introduced by Brawn and Byrne in 2002.
As a tribute to this epic Formula 1 machine, and to Michael Schumacher himself, Italian bespoke model company BBR released a series of limited edition models of the F2004.
To bid, please visit:
https://www.charitystars.com/product/1-43-bbr-ferrari-f2004-hungaroring-hungarian-gp-m-schumacher-winner-limited-series-with-certificate-en
https://www.charitystars.com/product/1-43-bbr-ferrari-f2004-monza-italian-gp-m-schumacher-limited-series-135-200-with-certificate-en
CharityStars – the world's leading charity auctions website – is offering two unique examples of these 1:43 models for auction, complete with certificate of authenticity.
The first model is of the Ferrari F2004 used by Schumacher to win the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole. It was the German's final grand slam, with pole, race win and fastest lap, helping Ferrari to secure the constructors' title by mid-August.
In Italy, using the same car, Schumacher finished second behind Barrichello, following a spin on the opening lap. It was an emotional one-two for the Italian tifosi, and a demonstration run for Schumacher – who had already won the title in Belgium.
Also Prince William, Kate and Business Mogul Renzo Rossi Partner with CharityStars.com, The U.K.'s Leading Charitable Foundation, To Raise Funds, Awareness
The Hungarian Grand Prix model is number 303 out of 500, while the Italian Grand Prix model is number 135 out of just 200 – meaning that their value will only increase as time goes on. Faithfully recreating every complex detail and aerodynamic crease of the F2004, these are true collectors' items for any fan of the Prancing Horse.
Proceeds from the auction will go towards the Saints Foundation: a charitable initiative formed by Southampton Football Club, which carries out social projects to benefit disadvantaged young people in the Southampton area of the United Kingdom in particular.
Both auctions expire on the 28 December, making these models an ideal belated Christmas gift.This model is in excellent conditions and it comes with his original box a lifetime certificate of guarantee from BBR models.
The certificate mentions the following: "We certify that this model has been hand-built by BBR in Saronno (Italy). It is completely hand assembled and it is a limited series". This is the number 135 out of 200.
The model is the Ferrari F2004 - Monza, Italian Gp 2004 - M.Schumacher, F1 World Champion
This auction has been made available by a private seller. 10% of the total auction price will be donated to Saints Foundation.
Saints Foundation is an independent charity aligned to Southampton Football Club. Harnessing the passion of the Club and its fans, they aim to INSPIRE, SUPPORT and DELIVER positive change and equality of opportunity for young people and vulnerable adults across Southampton and surrounding areas. They work across five key themes: Equalities & Inclusion, Health & Wellbeing, Education, Employability & Enterprise and Football & Sports Development.
Across their programmes, the Saints Foundation engages with thousands of young people and vulnerable adults each year, and in so doing invests over £1.5 million into local communities within Southampton and the surrounding area. These funds are generated through various grants, sponsorship, coaching income, and the never-ceasing support of a huge number of individuals and businesses, including those that purchase Southampton Football Club related memorabilia from their CharityStars auctions - it goes without saying that they are extremely grateful for your ongoing support.

At the Somerset and Percy intersection, the faint smell of smoke and sobering sight of charred debris lingers after a four-alarm fire believed to be caused by tarring work on the roof ravaged the corner on Oct. 21.
Four staple businesses frequented by Ottawa residents for years – Middle East Bakery, Shiraz Food Market, The Daily Grind and A Dark Cloud tattoo parlour – were all rendered to rubble amid the $1-million blaze, along with the multi-unit apartment complex that sat atop them.
Whether by way of an intimate late-night punk show, a piece of fresh spicy cheese pita bread, or a beautiful piece of art adorning one's arm, many of us have enjoyed these great local businesses at some point during our Ottawa lives. To see all of them go so suddenly left many of us with a heart wrenching lump in our throats.
Fortunately when tragedy befalls our modest, tight-knit community here in Centretown, people band together to help. A number of concerned and compassionate folks who call this neighbourhood home have been quick to step up and cultivate a number of creative methods to support our downtrodden neighbours.

UltraCap Creates Revolutionary Lightweight Car Battery
Filed in Shanghai Travel News on September 27, 2016 with no comments
London, United Kingdom, September 27, 2016 /ChinaNewswire.com/ - Scientists from London based UltraCap Ltd., are in the final stages of developing a 'green' solid state battery for electric vehicles that they claim will be 40 times lighter than current Lithium-Ion batteries. UltraCap founders, Professor Vladimir Krstic and Nico Van Dongen, say their new battery, the UltraCapacitor, will be able to charge within minutes and that, eventually, a pocket sized version of the battery will bring us one step closer to emission-free transportation.
The key to Professor Krstic's invention is a ceramic-based, high capacitance capacitator that, unlike current chemical-based solid-state batteries (such as the Lithium-Ion battery), is eco-friendly.
Krstic says: "Right now, electric car batteries are acid-based, toxic, environmentally-unfriendly and heavy with a limited life span. Moreover, charging stations remain scarce. Our UltraCapacitor will significantly reduce the long hours currently required to recharge electric cars. It can endure millions of charging cycles, is fully recyclable and contains no environmentally harmful elements. It paves the way for zero-emission transportation worldwide."
A battery breakthrough
Krstic has already proved that his ceramic battery can contain much more electricity in a smaller size than current chemical based batteries. This is due to a multi-layered capacitator design, containing a ceramic di-electric non-conductor. What happens is a number of these capacitators are daisy-chained together to form a small, lightweight green battery. Using this technology, the release of electricity is not limited by chemical reaction rates, so electric cars can recharge in minutes as opposed to hours. Furthermore, production of this next-generation battery will be cheaper and cleaner, making electric vehicles more affordable in future.
The company is currently developing a prototype that is anticipated to weigh less than 20kg (the Tesla Model S 70kWh battery package weighs 535kg) and deliver five consecutive hours of driving. Once complete, the prototype will be fully tested in an electric car.
Krstic believes the technology can be improved further and that heavy chemical-based batteries will soon become redundant: "We can make the ceramic di-electric much thinner and lighter without losing electrical capacity and create pocket size car batteries in the near future.' The technology has the potential to revolutionize the way electrical energy is stored and transported. Due to high energy density and small size, it will be possible to charge the device in all regions of the world where electricity is abundant and inexpensive and then transport it to urban areas where it is needed the most."
UltraCap is currently looking for funding to develop the project further.
About Prof Krstic
Krstic is co-founder of UltraCap Investment Ltd and a professor at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada with a track record in managing government and private sector funded projects for more than 30 years, Dr. Krstic has successfully completed more than 30 different projects funded by various federal and provincial programs, as well as private sector companies. He is also inventor of several new technologies and has authored and co-authored eight patents in the area of advanced functional ceramics.

We spent a few days in Camargue last week and enjoyed long beach walks, cycling among salt marshes, black bulls, semi-wild horses and pink flamingos.. We visited the magnificent town of Aigues mortes and ate outside hearing the sailboats in the harbour.
All this felt like the perfect setup for my new shawl design: the Camargue shawl !
Camargue shawl is a sideways shawl with discreet lace pattern, finished a spectacular ruffled edging. Make the most of the beauty of Noro yarns (or any other self-striping or handpainted yarns) !
Dragon-tail shaped shawl, worked sideways. Ruffled edging is then added along 2 borders of the triangle.
Instructions includes directions for 2 sizes of shawl: size 1 showed above in burgundy, size 2 shown in turquoise.
Designed so that you can customize the size of shawl, and/or use any yarn weight to make it.
I have finally decided that on friday April 6th 2018 I'll be changing all the prices of my patterns on RAVELRY into €uros.
They will thus be aligned with the pricing of my main ETSY store SylvieDameyCrochet.
For those of you who prefer to shop in US Dollars ($), you will still be able to do so on Craftsy or my 2nd Etsy store FrenchStyleCrochet.
Last week-end I had the opportunity at the last minute to visit the h+h trade show in Cologne, Germany, with a friend. This is a huge show reserved for professionals and retailers, who come from all corners of northern Europe to shop for new products and yarns.
I got to meet Rob and Sharon Dunbabin, owners of Cascade yarns.. and show them my newest design, the "Marin d'Odouce" sweater made with their wool 220. It was really great to be able to chat with them about their company and yarns, I loved it !
Finally, of course NORO was another of my go-to places. I mean, don't you loooove those huge 200g balls of colored yumminess ? Here again, contact was made and I hope it will indeed lead to successfull colloboration for designs, as I love the Noro yarns so much !
The Open Spaces shawl is a new shawl design, where you'll see the same "open spaces" openwork as in my "Open Spaces coat", plus a bold lace edging derived from a vintage Victorian lace.
You can make this shawl in 2 sizes, using either super bulky yarn (and fewer stitches) or worsted/aran weight yarn (and a few added sts in each panel).
For the super bulky version, I used the exact same combo of several strands of yarn held together as for the matching coat.
Finally, I continued to dig through my stash and came upon enough Cascade "wool 220" to make a 3rd sample, this time in worsted weight yarn. I just love how you can arrange colors differently to make each section of the lace border pop .
Pattern is in pdf format. You may sell items crocheted with this pattern, please mention my name and pattern.
So here they are: the Bucheron socks (= lumberjack in french). Classic hardwearing socks, with contrasting heels and toes, and an edging of fake-ribbing I particularly like.
Those socks are explained in 4 widths, from thin women's feet (or older kids) to large men's feet, so you can crochet socks for the whole family. And of course, the length of the socks is fully customizable.
Constructed with afterthought heels, you will be able to replace the heels of those socks if they ever wear out.
The Open Spaces coat is the perfect mix of style and comfort, when you want to be nice and cozy in the winter.
Crocheted with Super bulky yarn, it is amazingly quick to crochet with all these "open spaces" (chains are soooo much faster to make than full stitches). The hood is totally optional, so you can wear it in a much more classic way.
The pattern is available in 5 sizes from XS to XL.
Starting something completely new (to me)… Crocheted socks !
Yet I still kept that idea in a corner of my mind. Oh and sock yarns can be so pretty !
BINGO ! So last November I started away on my very first socks. I intentionnally avoided to look at socks from other designers so I would not be influenced … I wanted to find my own ways to crochet a sock.
I made a few pairs of crocheted socks before, but have not found a design I want to make more than once. This will be my go to pattern in future! As for wearing, it's maybe too soon to say, but the biggest difference compared to knitted socks is that these don't feel tight and still they don't fall off my feet either.
this is a fantastic crocheted sock pattern. A lot of others come off more like a Christmas stocking, rather than an actual sock that you feel comfortable wearing.
They were just the right combo of interesting yet easy … they were fun to make. (…) I have not knitted socks but I have crocheted socks and these are my favourite!
I absolutely loved making these!! I definitely plan on making another pair. (…) I have tried to crochet socks before but none of them had the afterthought heel and were nowhere near as comfortable and I ended up frogging them. I was so satisfied with this experience and will definitely be making more of these in the future!
I' m so happy to finally have a crochet pattern for socks. These are so much more fun to make than knitted ones! And so pretty, too! You created a lovely, much needed design!
instructions in 3 widths so you can make those to fit your feet perfectly !
Sock yarn is made of 75% wool (5 different breeds, including merino, are mixed to achieve the best ratio softness/resistance to abrasion) and 25% nylon superwash.
THis yarn was dyed especially for these socks by indie dyer Heikemade with subtle variations of tones so as not to hide the floral motif. She made longer color repeats so they would work perfectly when crocheted in double crochets.
Each kit includes also 4 stitch markers (used in pattern) including one "heart-shaped" marker from Addi.
Kits are available in my Etsy store and at the "Lot et laine" fiber festival in July (France).

If you are a small business it's often easy to try and simply rely on social media sites like Facebook or Yelp to connect with your customers. The problem with this model is that you have little to no control about the branding message that your are trying to convey to your customers. Your company information is surrounded by ads, ratings, comments and colors that are not your own and even worse these sites provide users with related companies that drive traffic away from your product or service.
