Our worlds only change when we make changes. It's not magic. Where intention goes energy flows- so the question becomes where do we want to point that intention? What is important? What hurts? Are we able to hold ourselves and others with compassion? How often do we live in a sense of integrity? Are we saying yes or no to people, or things that we later regret? How does the body feel when we're aligned and on the path?
We bring these questions and intentions into the practice inviting the wisdom of our hearts and our bodies to lead the way. We breathe, we feel, and things shift. Feel free to bring along a small object that represents the thought, person, or situation you'd like to direct your energy towards. You can place it on the altar during the Circle, charging it up as a reminder for yourself of your intention as you move out into the world.
Breathwork is an active style of meditation practice. Using a 3 part Pranayama Breathwork technique, we'll actively breath through held patterns of tension in the body, connecting deeply and directly with our felt experience of being alive so that we can shift and clear mental states that aren't serving us. Creating space for and connecting with the fullness of our human experience- the parts that we like and the parts that we don't- is part of living the full spectrum of life. Breathwork practices allow us to temporarily bypass the ego and thinking mind, stepping out of the stories of the future and the past. This can help empty out the complexity of our lived experiences. When we're able to create the space to be with whatever is arising- we'll see that it also passes. This insight helps us learn to trust our embodied wisdom and allow this natural process to become part of our lives. Come ready to raise your vibration.
Contraindications: This practice is done lying on your back, so folks with limitations in that regard might want to consider a bolster for under the knees. We breathe through an open mouth so those with asthma or other breathing considerations will want to have their inhaler handy. Likewise, ladies who beyond 12 weeks pregnant will want to choose a different class as laying flat on the back for the length of time we'll be doing it isn't recommended.

Razberi gets $3m, new board members, CTO
By Martha Entwistle
Updated Wed November 12, 2014
Razberi Technologies, which was reinvented three years ago by Tom Galvin, today announced that it received a $3m investment from a new investor, LiveOak Venture Partners of Austin, Texas.
I had a chance to speak to Galvin about the deal. "We launched the company exactly three years ago, in November 2011. We've been growing nicely through word of mouth but we got to the point where, to sustain growth, we needed outside capital," he said.
The funds will be used "to invest in sales, marketing and branding awareness to fully leverage what we've built here in our product line and to invest in R&D. We want to continue to evolve and to develop the product line," Galvin said.
Razberi's flagship product is its ServerSwitch, which combines "the functions of a network video recorder and ethernet smark switch into a single compact appliance."� These appliances, "go where IT doesn't go because of cost or form factor," Galvin said. Currently in development are a "ruggedized line for outdoor applications. There's a growing energy business in the U.S., with oil and natural gas and windmills and they all need video surveillance," he said.
Galvin also announced that Ken Boyda has joined Razberi as non-executive chairman of its board of directors.
Boyda built Interlogi company, which he sold to GE Security and was subsequently sold to UTC. Galvin and Boyda worked together at GE before Boyda retired. Boyda has stayed active in the industry, Galvin said, serving on the board of VideoIQ before its acquisition by Avigilon. He also currently serves on the board of PSIM provider VidSys.
Boyda introduced Galvin to LiveOak Ventures.
"Razberi [which is based in Carrollton, Texas] is LiveOak's first investment in North Texas. There's a start-up market here that's underserved by financial [backers], and LiveOak saw us a real opportunity," Galvin said.
Jiri Modry, whom Galvin called "one of the pioneers," has also joined Razberi's board. "He developed the first DVR for security and sold it to Interlogix [which was sold to GE.] � The GE DVR line at the time was based on Yiri's technology. It's great to have his expertise on the board as well," Galvin said.
Ben Scott and Krishna Srivivasan, both of LiveOak Venture Partners, also joined the board.
Razberi also hired Rich Anderson as its CTO. "He's a key hire for us. He served in different executive capacities at GE and Casi Rusco back in the day," Galvin said.

Jim Tray
James Tray
Bats Unknown, Throws Unknown
Height 5' 11", Weight 180 lb.
Debut September 6, 1884
Final Game September 21, 1884
Born February 14, 1860 in Jackson, MI USA

BR page
Biographical Information[edit]
Jim Tray appeared in six games for the Indianapolis Hoosiers in 1884. He hit .286 while the team average was .233.
Tray was born, and died, in Jackson, MI, about 250 miles from Indianapolis. In the minors he played for a number of Michigan teams such as Jackson, Bay City, Saginaw and Kalamazoo, as well as for some teams outside of the state. While he was with Saginaw, he and some other players made claims of unpaid salaries amounting to about $5,000 (per Sporting Life, Sept. 17, 1884}.
The SABR biography of Dan Abbott quotes the Jackson newspaper in 1889 regarding something Tray pulled: "By a trick, Jim Tray who was coaching had Brown tag him while [baserunner] Blackstock slid in and was safe which raised a big ruckus."
No other major leaguer, through 2019, has had the last name Tray, although Pie Traynor's name starts with Tray.
A biography of Jim Tray [1] indicates that articles sometimes credited him with being on the Pittsburgh team in 1884, although the stats do not show him playing any games with a Pittsburgh team that year. In addition to the minors, he also played some semi-pro ball after his time in the majors. One brother played some minor league ball with him, and another played semi-pro ball with him. Jim was often named captain or manager of his teams. After baseball, he was a saloon keeper.

Hydrosalpinx and Fertility: How the Diagnosis and Treatment can Affect IVF Success Rates
Published on February 7, 2017 by SCRC Contributor
Share this on social media:
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a highly effective treatment for many causes of infertility. This is especially true for patients dealing with tubal-factor infertility, where a blockage or other problem with the fallopian tubes (which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus) makes conceiving naturally difficult or impossible. Tubal-factor infertility may be caused by a number of conditions, including hydrosalpinx, which is a buildup of fluid in the fallopian tubes. IVF can help patients with hydrosalpinx, but there are some issues to consider as you and your doctor plan your treatment approach.
What is hydrosalpinx and what causes this condition?
Hydrosalpinx is a disorder of the fallopian tubes. In a case of hydrosalpinx, the tubes are blocked, and a watery clear liquid begins to collect in the tube, causing it to swell and become distended. Most commonly, the blockage seals off the end of the tube that is closest to the ovary (known as the fimbrial end,) but in some rare cases both ends may be sealed. One or both tubes may be affected. It is a relatively common reason for infertility, and can be caused by many different conditions, including:
A previous pelvic infection, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Adhesions, scarring, or inflammation from previous abdominal surgery
Tumors (rarely)
How does hydrosalpinx impact fertility?
The presence of hydrosalpinx can impede fertility in several ways. On a simple biomechanical level, when a tube is blocked by fluid and swelling, the egg cannot travel through and sperm are unable to move normally to meet the egg for fertilization. Even if only one tube is affected, the tubal fluid from that tube may accumulate in the uterus and prevent implantation of embryos or be toxic to the embryo.
While IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes entirely and places an embryo right into the uterus, the chances of a successful IVF cycle in women with untreated hydrosalpinx are not encouraging. Patients with untreated hydrosalpinx who undergo IVF have less than half the rate of pregnancy of IVF patients who do not have hydrosalpinx. They also suffer more miscarriages. This may be caused by several factors:
The hydrosalpinx fluid is toxic. This means that even with IVF, the presence of hydrosalpinx may harm the health of the embryo.
The fluid may interfere with the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to an implanting embryo.
The trickle of fluid into the uterus may mechanically wash out transferred embryos.
How is hydrosalpinx diagnosed?
Patients with hydrosalpinx rarely experience any symptoms until they are attempting to conceive, though some do report pelvic pain. On its own, hydrosalpinx is not considered dangerous, but it can present a serious obstacle to getting pregnant. For many women, infertility is the only symptom, and the hydrosalpinx is discovered as part of a thorough investigation of their reproductive health.
Depending on the size of the swelling, hydrosalpinx can sometimes be diagnosed during a transvaginal ultrasound. It can also be seen during laparoscopic surgery, but the best way to diagnose the problem is with an HSG (hysterosalpingogram). HSG is a kind of fluoroscopy: an x-ray which uses a radio-opaque contrast dye to show the outline of the fallopian tubes.
The HSG is done as an outpatient procedure, and usually takes less than half an hour. During the procedure, a very thin catheter is inserted into the cervix, and the dye is gently injected. Images are captured as the dye moves through the uterus and fallopian tubes, allowing the doctor to see any blockages. Hydrosalpinx will show up clearly on an HSG.
What are the treatments available for hydrosalpinx?
There are several approaches to treating hydrosalpinx. In some cases, surgeons may attempt to repair the tubes by opening up the sealed end with a procedure known as a salpingostomy, or they may try to stop the leakage of fluid into the uterus by blocking the tube with an Essure device. The fertility experts at SCRC prefer to remove the tube entirely through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The procedure, known as salpingectomy, is performed under general anesthesia, and is usually completed in under an hour. Removing the affected tube completely offers a permanent correction of the problem, and often increases IVF success rates drastically. Recovery from the surgery usually takes about three weeks.
Is IVF the right treatment for me?
If you've been diagnosed with hydrosalpinx, the first step is to treat the condition before attempting pregnancy. When the hydrosalpinx has been removed, IVF is very good for most patients. Once you have recovered from surgery, you can begin an IVF cycle. With the hydrosalpinx gone, your chances of success should be much better.
Hydrosalpinx is a common, easily treated problem which illustrates how important it is to get a thorough diagnosis before you begin infertility treatment. Understanding the specific causes of your infertility and treating a problem like hydrosalpinx before undergoing IVF can prevent failed cycles and unnecessary distress.
If you suspect you may be suffering from hydrosalpinx, don't hesitate to ask your doctor about diagnosis and treatment.

If I were to make it again I'd definitely do it top down (Pattern is written bottom-up) and has you make the pieces separately, then attach them all together then do the yoked neckline, but I found that to be really tedious, so I'll probably do it again in a top-down fashion instead following the pattern backwards. It shouldn't be too difficult, and looks as though a few people on Ravelry have had the same idea and put up instructions.
All in all, I really enjoyed the pattern and think the yarn worked well for this project. I'm always a little hesitant to use variegated yarn in sweaters, because sometimes it ends up pooling weirdly, but this yarn didn't do that, so that's good! It's also machine washable, so huge plus there!
howww *&^%&^% cute! I can barely stand it!


While we know the best makeovers take time and money, how can you convince your clients that sometimes it takes multiple sessions to give them the best (and healthiest!) results possible? We spoke with three stylists about how they approach this situation, and here's what they had to say.
It all starts with a great consultation. First, establish your client's goals. Assess the history and current condition of their hair, then determine if these goals are achievable. "I always explain what obstacles we will most likely run into during the process," shares Ivan Hernandez (@justhairobsession), a #ONESHOT Hair Painting Finalist.

You know your longtime clients' hair better than anyone, but especially with newer clients, find out their hair history before setting any goals. Balayage specialist Mallery Share (@hellobalayage) recommends going back five years. "Depending on length, I can usually tell my guest where I can get them just by knowing what was previously done to their hair," shares Mallery.

If I got to vote on my own high-school superlative, it would not have been most likely to stay. I wanted to be a pilot, a flight attendant, someone famous enough that I got to travel and have someone else pay for it. I wanted to be a photographer and share the world from behind a lens.
But life has a way of happening in small moments, and suddenly I'm 30 with a typical young mom's life.
On Sundays, I go to church. I drop off my children and say hello to the two directors of children's ministry. One was my little sister's preschool teacher. The other I remember playing beside my sister in the nursery. During service this weekend, I sat beside my parents and my grandmother in the same pew I fidgeted in as a child.
On Mondays, my kids go to daycare at the in-home center my mom started in 1993. They play with my childhood toys, take naps in my childhood bedroom. I drive to a Starbucks near the bank where I worked my first job, a Starbucks that shares a parking lot with the Target I worked at one summer in college. The small moments have conspired to keep me right where I've always been.
This summer, I took my children to Big Truck Day, a neighborhood event hosted at the high school my husband attended. We didn't date then, but we knew each other, and I went to a play and a football game with my future husband and a group of our mutual friends. We wandered the same asphalt where our children now grab our hands.
Next September, I'll almost certainly take my daughter to kindergarten orientation at the school I attended in first through fifth grade.
My husband and I talk sometimes about how so many of our friends moved away. How we forget our own ages and experience because we never left. We get tempted to uproot and move somewhere cheaper or with better jobs or because we're adults for goodness' sake and we can.
In a world of increasing nomadism, I'm glad we stayed.
I'm glad the church where I was baptized is the church my kids run through on Sunday mornings. I'm looking forward to saying hello to some teachers next year as I introduce my daughter to her new school. I like driving by the places that comprise my memories on a regular basis.
My town has changed. It's gotten more crowded and more expensive. I've changed, too, but I've stayed. Through street construction and church renovations and friend after friend moving away for adventures of their own, I have stayed. Every place I remember calling home is within 15 miles of my current address. While my heart is attached to people who moved away, I've left my heart in no other place.
I still have wanderlust. I still ache to see the world. But at the end of the day, even in an age where it feels like a cop-out, a relic from a bygone era, I'm so glad this is still my home. My roots beside the Willamette are deep. My parents are here, my sister, my grandmother. Some cousins. All our stories.
My 4-year-old has been on four airplanes in her life. Every time we've landed she's asked me when she can fly again, already as enthralled with travel as her mother. She wants to be a pilot. Maybe she'll do it, wandering the world, looking for adventure in the great wide somewhere and finding it.
Or maybe, just maybe, she'll plant her own roots and stay.


LEGO Movie coming soon to a theater near you!
Okay, so it's still 3 months away, but the trailer is fun to watch. Check it out on YouTube and start planning a movie party with your friends!
I can't wait, it should be a lot of fun and there are a lot of great actors doing the voices.

Fishers Farm Park celebrates 25 years
PUBLISHED: 17:15 02 July 2015 | UPDATED: 17:15 02 July 2015
Fishers Adventure Farm Park in Wisborough Green recently celebrated their 25th Year, transformed from a fruit-picking farm in 1990 to the award-winning family attraction it is today
Fishers Adventure Farm Park in Wisborough Green threw an enormous party this month to celebrate their 25th Birthday. Fishers began in June 1990 with around 6,000 people coming through its doors. It has grown enormously in the last 25 years and now welcomes around 178,000 visitors a year.
Hosted at the award-winning attraction itself, more than 200 guests arrived for the celebrations. Invitations were sent to those who had contributed to the success of Fishers over the years. Local suppliers, friends, neighbours, staff old and new and families who camped at the farm when it was a campsite back in the '90's - all came along for the event.
The evening included a superb Hog Roast supplied by 'Michael Courtney Hog Roasts' accompanied by some fantastic music by renowned local Rock Band "The Blues Blasters". All of the guests were invited into the farm's 'Barn Theatre' to watch some live performing, amusing anecdotes and a history of the farm and it's journey to the place it has become today.
General Manager, Melanie McAlpine, who organized the event and has been a part of the Fishers Farm team since the beginning in 1990, commented: "It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many of Fishers extended 'family'. We shared memories, laughter and just a few tears".
The whole team has been overwhelmed by the number of cards and congratulations they have received and wanted to say a big thank you to all who have supported and visited Fishers over the years.
Tim Rollings owner of the farm park commented: "It has been a roller coaster ride! As a small business we are really proud to have given so much fun and enjoyment to local families and also to have provided employment for so many and a structured work place for numerous delightful young people."


I have fond memories of learning how to make St Brigid's crosses when I was in primary school. The best part was finding the swampy grounds where the reeds grew. Growing up in Co. Kildare, St Brigid (aka Mary of the Gael) was a household name – our very own saint. Patron saint of the county and patroness of Ireland, she had quite the life.
The story I remember is that her dad was a pagan chieftain in the province of Leinster, her mother a christian. Brigid herself was born in Dundalk, Co. Louth, about 450 AD. She was a great fan of St Patrick, the chap who inspired her to become a nun, and is supposedly buried with him in Downpatrick (minus her head, which is buried in Lisbon). Brigid wanted to join a convent, but her dad was having none of it. He'd already married her off in his head to a rich local and had gone so far as to promise her hand in marriage to a bard. But Brigid pulled a fast one. She prayed to God to make her so ugly so that this chap wouldn't fancy her. God did as she asked and her father gave in. And when he did, and she took her vows, God gave her back her beauty, and then some.
Brigid wanted land to build a convent. And she wanted to build it in Kildare. No idea why – perhaps because it's so flat. Her dad, generous chap that he was, said he'd give her as much land as her cloak would cover. So she spread it out on the ground and miracle of miracles, it covered the 5000 acres that today form the Curragh of Kildare.
St Brigid's well was a fixture on our school trips. There are sacred wells scattered all around Ireland, sites of great healing. Tradition has it that you should dip a clootie (a rag) into the water and then wash your wound. Then you should tie the rag to a tree as an offering. The faithful are healed. Other well, like Fr Moore's, require you to walk around and across the water while reciting the rosary. I've worn my weight into those steps in my time. We're a funny lot, us Irish.
showcase women in the Irish diaspora, and build a programme of international events offering an alternative celebration of Irishness to St Patrick's Day.
Apparently, celebrations took place today in six European countries (Ireland, UK, Belgium, Poland, France, and Germany) and five US states, including Washington DC. Looks like the woman, patron saint for babies, blacksmiths, boatmen, cattle, chicken farmers, children whose parents are not married, dairymaids, dairy workers, fugitives, infants, mariners, midwives, milk maids, poultry raisers, printing presses, sailors, scholars, travellers, watermen, and creativity scholars and poets, is finally coming into her own.
Sounds as if heavenly rest doesn't apply to saints!!

Clinton Trials
Home Stories Clinton Trials
Even to ruminate out loud about Clinton, Starr, Lewinsky, etc. is to venture into a minefield of reactions. I discovered that at my tennis club. It is even risky at my church.
The furthest I went last Sunday was to get agreement from another English member of the congregation that if this were England Clinton would have been long gone from office. But then a parliamentary system and more of a tradition of political resignation makes this course easier. Not having a vote, not being party political in my thinking, I have as a foreigner on the whole kept out of contentious matters. As the old song says, "You can't go to prison for what you're thinking."
Is it possible to talk about some of the issues without being or appearing partisan? I don't know. Let me try. Certainly, the next few days will be difficult ones for those who love this country as the Senate faces up to its responsibilities in what respected Senator Robert Byrd calls "this serious and solemn matter." He says that a study of precedent going back into English history, from which the concept of impeachment stems, makes it clear that there is no specific definition that can be relied on. He says that Hamilton in Federalist Essay 65 says that impeachable offenses, are those which proceed from the misconduct of public men, in other words, he says, where there is abuse or violation of the public trust. There must be few people, even the most extreme, who would relish a long drawnout who said what when and who touched what when argument in the Senate. Frankly, I wouldn't like to be a Senator having to act as a juror, trying to sort out which is dictating his or her actions, public opinion polls or conscience. I am a believer in bipartisanship wherever possible. Frankly, I think we have seen as much partisanship from Democrats as from Republicans. It would seem to me that the Democratic pep rally after the impeachment vote and after all the things many of those same Democrats had said about Clinton was unseemly. I believe that it is not beyond the wit of some of these brilliant men and women in Congress to find a way to introduce censure without letting Clinton be excused his actions or alternatively to have a short trial that is adequate and fair to Clinton and doesn't further distract from the business of the nation or allow the public to wallow in voyeurism.
I believe that you can resent intrusion into private affairs and deplore the excessive exploitation of the independent counsel statute and still believe that the way a person behaves in sexual matters is a good guide to their character. A wise teacher friend of mine used to say, "Character is what you do in the dark." I believe that you can be forgiving, understanding, compassionate and still accept that actions have consequences. I believe that you can admire aspects of the work and commitment of Bill and Hillary without voting them your most admired people. After all that their own party leaders have said about them and Bill has said about himself, such an accolade says more about the discernment of the average poll respondent than about our leaders. I do not believe that being president is the only way to serve one's country. Finally, I try hard to believe that those who do not share my views are as honorable as those who do! (KBOO January 7)

The jumble sale of NPF
By Nagaland Post | Publish Date: 3/11/2019 12:39:38 PM IST
It is the liberty of NPF to stay united, to opt for disintegration or to adopt any political manoeuvre as thought fit in its wisdom. A non-NPF member, like myself, need not neither bother nor try to indulge in the business of NPF had not the latest mishaps of NPF have its share of impact on the overall political scenario of the State of Nagaland and its governance. The ignorant lot may not necessarily understand the vital role the Opposition party plays in moulding and driving the good governance home in a State. Today's Opposition party of NPF having 26 MLAs in a house of 60 is very formidable. The stronger is the Opposition the better is supposed to be the transparency in governance. The performance of the Opposition is rated at how efficient and effective in keeping the ruling party on tender hook both inside and outside of the House. In other words, the Opposition does not have a single role of floor performances such as putting Starred and un-Starred Questions, participating in the debate on the Motion of Thanks on Governor's address by moving amendment motion, the debate on the budget speech by moving Cut Motions or putting a Private Member's Bill on Matters of Public Importance. The Opposition has the best opportunities to check and cross-check the performances of the Govt. collectively and individually by means of exposing the wrongdoings in governance on any issue relating to the welfare of the people. The Opposition influences or even forces the ruling party to change anti-people program to pro-people program. Keeping the CAB 2016 in cold storage was the handiwork of the Opposition parties in Raja Sabha just for instance. The check and balance role is therefore played by the Opposition.
Such being the importance of the role of the opposition, Nagaland needs strong and dedicated Opposition party. Any political party that acts well as Opposition can rule well. Any political party is not destined to be in ruling endlessly, but it is destined to perform dual roles of opposition and ruling alternately. For economically poorer MLAs in Opposition, it is most trying time for one to survive politically mostly because the voters, in Nagaland in particular, do not appreciate the predicaments an elected member faces while in Opposition. Yet, by experience, an Opposition MLA is in the best institute of learning real politics, and it helps one to become robust in the long run. Those elected members who never tasted the curry of Opposition are like bamboos grown under the shadow of giant trees which is un-useable for any purpose. Those un-trained and all the time privileged MLAs (every time in ruling) are the ones who live in castles in the air not knowing the conditions of those who live on earth's surface. Those MLAs made for ruling definitely lacked depth, selfish, destructive and not people friendly as they are from another planet and they remained insensitive to human languages and sufferings. However, in the context of Nagaland, those MLAs from other planet find it easy to get re-elected for the mere reason that their Bank account make them eligible. Thus, today, Nagaland is fashioned in their designs.
An arm chair MLA cannot become a pro-active Opposition member. An Opposition member has to be very hard working solely by which he can become well-informed. Knowledge is the best weapon for him to gain strength in commanding respect from colleagues and from bureaucracy. An MLA who suffers from megalomania comes and vanishes without leaving trace. There are tendencies particularly with Opposition MLAs having misconception that the whole bureaucracy is on the side of the ruling party and therefore un-penetrable. Whereas, in reality, bureaucracy naturally remains porous. Bureaucracy remains 50:50 in matters of allegiance. The only thing an Opposition MLA has to do is to explore relentlessly, after which one can discover.
Now, the old regional party NPF has some landmark achievements in its kitty. The Nagaland Land and Revenue Regulation (Amendment) Act, 1978, the establishment of Nagaland VDB in 1970s and the revocation of Rongmei tribe recognition by the President of NPF while serving as the CM for a brief period are some of the major achievements. Yet, basking leisurely in the past few glories leads the old regional party to suffer from megalomania.
Whereas, the recent NPF drama by which 18 of its MLAs offered olive branch to NDPP for exclusive regional coalition seemed to outwit the minority restless and fragile few. Perhaps, the circumstances compelled the 2/3 majority of NPF legislators to play the sabotaging game of 1/3 openly placed the party in a whirlwind. Possibly the game of 18 saved the split of the Legislature Party for the moment, and yet it was costly. The 'knee jerk' fart produced huge amount of foul smell. The cheeks of NPF was smacked by both NDPP and BJP. The grape of NDPP-NPF coalition was found to be sour. Indeed, the drama eventually concluded to be NPF's self-goal.
Is NPF feeling comfortable to be out rightly rejected by BJP in Nagaland while its 4 MLAs are coalition partner of BJP in Manipur? What is this inconsistency? Secondly, not long ago, an NPF functionary purportedly represented the party in one of the debates on the contemporary Naga political negotiations issue conducted by NE Live TV channel harped on Naga integration saying that NPF has committed on it. Is NPF conveying to GOI and the Naga negotiators that lest the expected solution includes Naga integration, NPF will reject such solution?
Whatever said and done is the desire for having a working Opposition party in Nagaland which is the need of the hour and not that of a Legislature Party enjoying the position of Opposition with its leader having the status of a Cabinet Minister and yet those Honourable Members are easily wooed to go for jumble sale. I hope Kaziranga is not revisiting?

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process of discerning and ritualizing stages of conversion leading to initiation through the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and Eucharist.
Who is welcome to RCIA?
Persons who have never been baptized.
Persons baptized in another Christian church who desire to become Catholic.
Baptized Catholics who have never received First Communion or Confirmation.
Catholics who want to understand more about the practice of their Faith.
The primary minister of initiation in the RCIA process is the parish community. The best invitation comes from you!
Jesus said, "Go out into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15) Is there someone you know who does not have faith in Jesus, never been baptized, has no church community with whom to share, or is not fully aware of how to practice their own Catholic faith? Why not invite them to inquire about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)?
If you know of anyone whom might be interested in inquiring about our RCIA program, please contact the Parish Office at 522-8555.

Tiny Toon Adventures is basically a kid-version of the classic Warner Bros. cartoon stars and their cartoons. This show is hosted by Buster and Babs Bunny and their friends Plucky Duck, an egotistical power crazy duck much like Daffy Duck, and Hamton Pig, a shy, kind-hearted pig with low self-esteem but just like Porky Pig, but is a Neat Freak.
Syndicated, 1987	| Comedy, Family
This show revolved around a teenager, who was a little different from most: she was half-alien! She had the ability to stop time. Unfortunately, her father (the alien) was not around to guide her, though she could communicate with him.

An Uneventful Ides of March in the Tata- DoCoMo Row.
The Delhi High Court by reserving its order in the NTT DoCoMo plea of enforcement of its $1.18 billion arbitration award against Tata sons, made the Ides of March this year extremely uneventful.
The London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) on 24th June last year passed an award in favor of NTT DoCoMo, whereby Tata Sons were to pay $1.18 billion as damages for breach of contract in their joint venture with Tata Teleservices. In 2009, Japanese entity NTT DoCoMo acquired a 20 % stake in Tata Teleservices Ltd. As according to the agreement between the two, in a scenario that DoCoMo exercise the sale option to exit this Tata Teleservices investment, Tata Communications Ltd and Tata Power Company Ltd. would acquire the shares of NTT in the same proportions as were held by NTT. Tata Sons agreed to buy NTT's stakes in the failed Joint Venture, in the month of June 2014, and sought permission from the RBI for the same. However, RBI entered the dispute as Third Party in October 2016, on the grounds that such buy out of NTT violates the foreign direct investment rules.
On 14th March 2017 the Delhi High Court rejected the RBI's plea to re examine the matter afresh. The Court directed the RBI, to state their locus standi in objecting the enforcement of an arbitral award where both the parties are have mutually accepted the same. The RBI has stated that such a buy back would be a violation of the public policy.
However, on 15th the High Court reserved its order on the matter and has brought it to a standstill temporarily.

Missile defense system that China opposes arrives in South Korea
By Paula Hancocks and Joshua Berlinger, CNN
Updated 8:40 PM EST, Tue March 7, 2017
THAAD is designed to take down North Korean missiles
NEW: China says it will take measure to preserve its interests
The first pieces of a US-built missile defense system designed to mitigate the threat of North Korean missiles arrived at the Osan Air Base in South Korea Monday night, according to the US military.
The announcement comes just a day after North Korea test-fired four ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea.
China has voiced opposition to the proposed placement of the military hardware known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, which it sees as a threat to its own security.
"We will firmly take necessary measures to preserve our own security interest, and the US and South Korea must bear the potential consequences," Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Geng Shuang said Tuesday.
With North Korea upping the amount of missile and nuclear tests last year, the US and South Korea have publicly stressed the need to speed up the deployment of the technology.
It's designed to shoot down incoming missiles that threaten civilian populations, akin to shooting a bullet with another bullet in simple terms, experts say.
"Continued provocative actions by North Korea, to include yesterday's launch of multiple missiles, only confirm the prudence of our alliance decision last year to deploy THAAD to South Korea," Adm. Harry Harris, commander, US Pacific Command, said in a news release.
The decision to deploy THAAD in South Korea was made in July of last year, and US President Donald Trump's administration has said it's committed to following through.
US Secretary of Defense James Mattis and South Korean Defense Secretary Han Min-koo spoke over the phone last week and agreed that THAAD should be deployed "ASAP."
China has long opposed the deployment of the defense system so close to its own borders and has called on the US and South Korea to stop the deployment.
One concern is that THAAD's advanced radar system could be used to spy on China's activities, rather than monitor incoming missiles from North Korea, according to Mark Tokola of the Korean Economic Institute of America.
China also worries THAAD would undermine its ability to respond to an attack on its own soil, says Tokola, a former deputy chief of mission at the US embassy in Seoul.
Beijing's displeasure has reportedly been felt by South Korean businesses, particularly Lotte, the South Korean conglomerate which signed off a land swap deal with the government to provide a site for the THAAD launch systems in late February.
In a fiercely-worded commentary published by China's official news agency, Xinhua, said the Lotte board would "hurt the Chinese people" and the "consequences could be severe" if it went ahead.
"Lotte stands to lose Chinese customers and the Chinese market. That would be a very large slice out of their business pie," said the commentary, which did not carry a byline.
The South Korean government said last week it believed Chinese authorities had told travel agencies in Beijing to stop selling trips to South Korea, intensifying fears of a trade war between the neighbors.
The Chinese government, however, denied any knowledge of such an order.
If Beijing did choose to retaliate through trade, it could make significant dent. China is South Korea's largest trading partner, with the latter exporting up to $142 billion each year to the country.
Almost half of the 17 million people who visited South Korea last year were Chinese, according to data from the Korea Tourism Organization.
South Korea itself is split on its support for THAAD. The military wants it, the residents who will live nearby the system don't and opposition parties say it should be debated and voted on within parliament once the current political uncertainty is resolved.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye is on trial after being impeached for her involvement in a corruption scandal.
"Under the circumstances, such a critical decision should be handled by the incoming government which will have full legitimacy and authorization," says Song Young-gil from the Democratic Party of Korea.
The system isn't a panacea that would completely shield the US and its allies from the North Korean missile threat.
It's "aimed solely at defending South Korea against missiles from North Korea," according to US Forces in Korea.
The system could be overwhelmed if North Korea were to launch a series of missiles simultaneously and it's not effective against submarine-launched ballistic missiles launched from south, east or west of lower South Korea, according to a report from the North Korea monitoring group 38 North.
RELATED: Are North Korea's missile tests a practice run for evading THAAD?
THAAD can detect and track targets within a range of about 1,000 kilometers, the report said, which means it may not stop a potential intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said in January that his country is in the final stages of developing an ICBM, which could reach the west coast of the United States.
But President Trump vowed that "it won't happen" in a tweet prior to his inauguration.
CNN's Paula Hancocks reported from Seoul, and Joshua Berlinger reported and wrote from Hong Kong. CNN's Brad Lendon, Steven Jiang and journalist Taehoon Lee contributed to this report.

Benjamin gives a solid, introspective performance, despite being far too old for the role. At 40 Benjamin is far too knowing and wizened to play the 24-year-old Hendrix. And both Poots and Atwell do their best even as they're hung out to dry in thinly developed female roles. Meanwhile, Ridley tries to make things groovy with inventive camerawork and out-of-sync sound. These are nice touches even if they further distance the audience from the characters, as do the heavy-handed story elements about racism in America and Britain. And without any proper context, all of this just swirls around the screen with nowhere to go.

A Trip to Sandford Cottages
We met Evelyn from Sandford Country Cottages in Wormit, Fife when she took a Photo Tour with us. Evelyn was keen to find out about the Tours to tell her guests but also she was one of the many people who have inherited a DSLA Camera and didn't know how to use it. We were delighted she joined us and we were able to get her set up with her camera, and she experienced the Tour first hand. We were equally delighted when she invited us over to see the Sandford Estate for ourselves.
It was a dull and misty day but when we arrived at to the house, apart from the weather, you could almost believe that you'd arrived at a beautiful Mediterranean villa. The grounds and the courtyard are stunning and Evelyn told us that many brides have used the location for their wedding photography, it was easy to see why.
Sandford Country Cottages
Evelyn glows with pride when discussing the huge renovation project undertaken by her and her partner, Ralph. From an almost derelict building with outhouses they have transformed the former Sandford Hotel into a stunning escape in the country. Touring the main house was a photographer's dream, the attention to detail and the arts and crafts displayed set of the oak beams and large lead windows which let light bathe every room. We guarantee kitchen envy if you're visiting and take advantage of the Arts & Crafts architecture guided tour of the house during your stay! Wow. The kitchen was originally the main dining room of the hotel and Evelyn told us that her and Ralph, used to enjoy a meal and a drink there and sit in the window table where there is still a small table and two chairs set today! There's a photography connection to the house going much further back.
The house was designed and built in 1902 for the Valentine family. In Dundee itself, there's little to show that Valentines of Dundee was ever here, unless, of course, you count the cards that are still eagerly snapped up by collectors all over the world, or the memories of the former Valentines staff. The firm became famous in the picture postcard industry and then moved into greeting card manufacturing, at one point over 60 million greeting cards were produced in Dundee every year. The University of St Andrews archives houses 120,000 images, held in a variety of formats and sizes: loose prints, proofs, albums, postcards, glass and film negatives. Much has been digitised and is in the process of being catalogued. But back to the house ……
It was built in 1902 and is one of only two houses in Scotland designed by the Arts and Crafts Architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott In 1910, following a devastating fire, it was reconstructed and use and ownership has changed over the years. In the main sitting room, previously Valentine's library and den there are pictures taken of the Valentine family at the house on display, a beautiful historic record of that time. It fell into disrepair before Evelyn and Ralph bought it in 2007. They've worked hard to restore it to the original building and it was featured on the BBC's "Restoration Homes"
The cottages themselves are beautiful with attention to details and a room with a view from every window
t's that attention to detail along with the luxuries and home comforts that make Sandford Country Cottages a must for a stay in Tay Country. Each property has its own entrance door and outdoor terrace or balcony, with all properties sharing the large 7 acre garden with areas suitable for picnics, walking and relaxing. Check out the ginormous tree house on telegraph poles!! Each property has an open plan kitchen, living and dining room with wood-burning stove and they are all furnished in a boutique style to a really high standard with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture.
They really have thought of everything with binoculars in every room to enjoy the scenery and Scottish Wildlife including deer and red squirrels which are an endangered species.
With lots to do and see in Fife and Dundee's newest attraction the V&A Museum of Design only 5 miles away over the Tay Road Bridge, you won't be stuck for choice. Dundee Photo Tours offers guests at Sandford Country Cottages a discount on our Tours.

Filming of staged chemical attack in Syria's Idlib begins, Russian top brass says
Film crews from several Middle East TV channels and also a regional branch of a leading US news TV channel arrived in Jisr ash-Shugur
Ian Greenhalgh
The filming of a staged chemical attack, allegedly carried out by the Syrian army against civilians, is already underway in the Idlib Governorate with the terrorists' assistance, the Russian Defense Ministry's Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Sides in Syria told reporters.
"According to the data from the Idlib Governorate's residents, currently the filming of a staged provocation of the alleged chemical weapons use by the Syrian army against the civilians is underway in Jisr ash-Shugur. Film crews from several Middle East TV channels and also a regional branch of a leading US news TV channel arrived in Jisr ash-Shugur this morning for filming," the center said.
The scenario includes a staged video of providing assistance to the citizens of Jisr ash-Shugur and activists of the Civil Defense (the White Helmets) after the alleged use of the so-called barrel bombs with toxic substances. The militants delivered two samples with a poisonous substance including chlorine this morning to ensure that the filming looks "natural," the center said.
The Russian military notes that all videos are to be sent to the editorial offices of TV channels for broadcast after they are posted in social networks.
In late August, the Russian Defense Ministry warned that militants were making preparations together with British intelligence services to stage a chemical weapons attack in the Idlib Governorate and blame it on the Syrian government. The ministry later said that the US-led Western coalition planned to use this provocation as a pretext to carry out another strike on Syria's government facilities.
The United States is already pulling in its forces to Syria. According to the ministry, in late August USS The Sullivans armed with 56 cruise missiles arrived in the Persian Gulf, while a US B1-B bomber equipped with 24 air-to-surface standoff missiles was relocated to the Al Udeid US air base in Qatar.

Home Archaeology Genes for nose shape found
Genes for nose shape found
Image showing variation between nose shape and the specific genes responsible. Credit: Dr Kaustubh Adhikari, UCL
Genes that drive the shape of human noses have been identified by a UCL-led study.
The four genes mainly affect the width and 'pointiness' of noses which vary greatly between different populations. The new information adds to our understanding of how the human face evolved and may help contribute to forensic DNA technologies that build visual profiles based on an individual's genetic makeup.
The study, published today in Nature Communications, analysed a population of over 6,000 people with varied ancestry across Latin America to study the differences in normal facial features and identify the genes which control the shape of the nose and chin.
The researchers identified five genes which play a role in controlling the shape of specific facial features. DCHS2, RUNX2, GLI3 and PAX1 affect the width and pointiness of the nose and another gene — EDAR — affects chin protrusion.
// ]]> /* ]]> */
"Few studies have looked at how normal facial features develop and those that have only looked at European populations, which show less diversity than the group we studied. What we've found are specific genes which influence the shape and size of individual features, which hasn't been seen before.
"Finding out the role each gene plays helps us to piece together the evolutionary path from Neanderthal to modern humans. It brings us closer to understanding how genes influence the way we look, which is important for forensics applications," said the first author of the report, Dr Kaustubh Adhikari, UCL Cell & Developmental Biology.
People have different shaped facial features based on their genetic heritage and this is partly due to how the environment influenced the evolution of the human genome. The nose, for example, is important for regulating the temperature and humidity of the air we breathe in so developed different shapes in warmer and cooler climates.
"It has long been speculated that the shape of the nose reflects the environment in which humans evolved. For example, the comparatively narrower nose of Europeans has been proposed to represent an adaptation to a cold, dry climate. Identifying genes affecting nose shape provides us with new tools to examine this question, as well as the evolution of the face in other species. It may also help us understand what goes wrong in genetic disorders involving facial abnormalities," explained Professor Andrés Ruiz-Linares UCL Biosciences, who led the study.
The team collected and analysed DNA samples from 6,630 volunteers from the CANDELA cohort recruited in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Peru. After an initial screen, a sample size of 5,958 was used. This group included individuals of mixed European (50%), Native American (45%) and African (5%) ancestry, resulting in a large variation in facial features.
Both men and women were assessed for 14 different facial features and whole genome analysis identified the genes driving differences in appearance.
A subgroup of 3,000 individuals had their features assessed using a 3D reconstruction of the face in order to obtain exact measurements of facial features and the results identified the same genes.
The study identified genes that are involved in bone and cartilage growth and the development of the face. GLI3, DCHS2 and PAX1 are all genes known to drive cartilage growth — GLI3 gave the strongest signal for controlling the breadth of nostrils, DCHS2 was found to control nose 'pointiness' and PAX1 also influences nostril breadth. RUNX2 which drives bone growth was seen to control nose bridge width.
The genes GLI3, DCHS2 and RUNX2 are known to show strong signals of recent selection in modern humans compared to archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans; GLI3 in particular undergoing rapid evolution.

Srinagar: The Food Safety Department on Tuesday directed its officials to recall from the market the milk products manufactured by 'Khyber Milk' after they found the company falsely labelling the date of manufacture on its 'Pro-Active Dahi'.
The department has seized nearly 100 packs of 'Pro-Active Dahi' from the company's manufacturing unit in Lethpora Pulwama.
Assistant Commissioner Food Safety in Pulwama, Suranjit Singh, told Kashmir Reader that the 'Pro-Active Dahi' manufactured by Khyber Milk at its factory in Lethpora Pulwama was found to be in "complete violation" of the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA). The manufacturing date printed on the pack was four days ahead of its actual date of manufacturing, he said.
"The actual date of manufacture of the Dahi is August 27 but the company has printed September 1 as the date of manufacturing, which is a complete violation of the Act. There is provision of heavy fine up to Rs 3 lakh," Singh said.
Singh said that food inspectors also collected samples of milk for detailed analysis.
"The company authorities can face arrest if any of the milk products are tested as unsafe in the food laboratory," the assistant commissioner said.
In 2006, the company was indicted after traces of detergent were found in its packed milk, which was declared unsafe by the food analyst.
The samples tested by Referral Food Laboratory, Kolkata, had confirmed the presence of detergent in the milk and also showed the milk fat as being lower than the prescribed levels. According to the report, the sample also contravened the Food Safety and Standards (packaging and labelling) Regulations.
A court had held the company guilty and convicted its In-Charge Operations, Mohammad Shafi Ganie. The company was convicted under Sections 51, 52 and 59 of the Food Safety Standards (FSS) Act 2006.
A local court later imposed a heavy penalty on the company which was later set aside by Supreme Court in 2017 following an appeal by the the company.

St. Philips Episcopal Church
St. Philip's Church is an historic church at 142 Church Street in Charleston. Built in 1836, this stuccoed brick church features an imposing tower designed in the Wren-Gibbs tradition.On November 7, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark.
Established in 1681, St. Philip's is the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina. The first St. Philip's Church, a wooden building, was built between 1680 and 1681 at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets on the present day site of St. Michael's Episcopal Church. It was damaged in a hurricane in 1710 and a new St. Phillip's Church was begun a few blocks away on Church Street. After being delayed it was finished in 1723 but burned to the ground in 1835. Work on the present church was begun that same year and completed the next. The steeple was added between 1848 and 1850.
I recently had the pleasure of photographing this aerial photograph featuring St. Philips Episcopal Church. In the foreground we find one of Charleston's iconic horse-and-carriage tours ambling up Church Street as it approaches the imposing structure. The dramatic Arthur Ravenel Junior Bridge gracefully spans the Charleston Harbor in the distance.

Citadel Square Baptist Church
Citadel Square Baptist Church was the fourth Baptist church established in Charleston, South Carolina. The original "Citadel Square Church" is a daughter of the First Baptist Church of Charleston (est. 1682), the "mother" church of Baptists in the South. In 1854, approximately a dozen members of the church sought to establish a new church for the Upper Peninsula, to be known as Fourth Baptist Church.
The construction of the church building at 328 Meeting Street began in June 1855. The new building was opened on November 23, 1856. A Sunday School building was added in 1891, then replaced in 1921. In April 1951, an educational building was added to the campus. The church was the first in Charleston to televise its services, doing so for more than 40 years until 1998. In its history, six churches have planted by Citadel Square: Cannon Street Baptist Church, Southside Baptist Church, FBC Mount Pleasant, Ashley River Baptist Church, James Island Baptist Church, and Folly Beach Baptist Church.
With a break in the programming at an event I was photographing nearby, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to fly my drone and get a gorgeous panoramic aerial view of this historic church in the golden rays of the setting sun. Visible in the background is the iconic Mother Emanuel AME Church. And beyond that, the elegant Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge spans the great Cooper River.
