Infant formula is often produced as an agglomerated powder using a spray drying process. Pneumatic conveying is commonly used for transporting this product within a manufacturing plant. The transient mechanical loads imposed by this process cause some of the agglomerates to disintegrate, which has implications for key quality characteristics of the formula including bulk density and wettability. This thesis used both experimental and modelling approaches to investigate this breakage during conveying. One set of conveying trials had the objective of establishing relationships between the geometry and operating conditions of the conveying system and the resulting changes in bulk properties of the infant formula upon conveying. A modular stainless steel pneumatic conveying rig was constructed for these trials. The mode of conveying and air velocity had a statistically-significant effect on bulk density at a 95% level, while mode of conveying was the only factor which significantly influenced D[4,3] or wettability. A separate set of conveying experiments investigated the effect of infant formula composition, rather than the pneumatic conveying parameters, and also assessed the relationships between the mechanical responses of individual agglomerates of four infant formulae and their compositions. The bulk densities before conveying, and the forces and strains at failure of individual agglomerates, were related to the protein content. The force at failure and stiffness of individual agglomerates were strongly correlated, and generally increased with increasing protein to fat ratio while the strain at failure decreased. Two models of breakage were developed at different scales; the first was a detailed discrete element model of a single agglomerate. This was calibrated using a novel approach based on Taguchi methods which was shown to have considerable advantages over basic parameter studies which are widely used. The data obtained using this model compared well to experimental results for quasi-static uniaxial compression of individual agglomerates. The model also gave adequate results for dynamic loading simulations. A probabilistic model of pneumatic conveying was also developed; this was suitable for predicting breakage in large populations of agglomerates and was highly versatile: parts of the model could easily be substituted by the researcher according to their specific requirements.

Filth and other electronic and noise acts converge on Pariah Arts this weekend.
Music festivals are nothing if not predictable. Find an A-list headliner, some mid-range supporting acts and pad out the bill with some local artists, then hire some food trucks and art vendors and throw in some beer and food, and voilà. The formula is simple, but in the case of first-time festival Realms of the Fourth Eye, it's been thrown completely out the window.
ROTFE, set to take place this Friday through Sunday, boasts a three-day, North Texas-heavy lineup with outliers (L.A., Philly, Austin, Houston) scattered throughout. Most importantly, it's a DIY festival, an apparent contradiction that may stretch the form to its very limits. With interactive and immersive art installations ongoing all weekend, a bill of high-minded and ambitiously tireless performers, and an enticing venue to house it all, ROTF looks to be one of the most provocative — albeit unpredictable — events of the summer.
ROTFE is the reaping of a seed sowed some 10 years back. Taboo envisioned and set in motion a not dissimilar event nearly a decade ago, only to see it all fall apart when his chosen venue bailed. An older and wiser individual now, Taboo has chosen a fitting and reliable venue in Pariah Arts and assembled a spectrum of creatives to help bring his concept to fruition.
Pariah Arts operates out of a Quonset hut, which is basically a repurposed semi-circular prefabbed and quite small steel warehouse originally constructed for military use. It's an optimal physical platform for the sort of DIY art events Pariah is known for hosting. Steamy, stark, charismatically cramped, subtly prurient and festooned with a chiaroscurist attention to light and shadow, Pariah's Quonset is just the sort of space DIY organizers salivate over.
The "three-day" component of ROTFE is worth emphasizing here. DIY events — typically high, high energy slash-and-burn affairs — are customarily run at an amphetamine-fueled pace, holding to a cyclical pattern of peak, crash, repeat. It raises a number of intriguing questions, such as: how it will maintain (or fail to maintain) its momentum; how the local DIY crowds will react to extended programming; and how organizers will manage what is by most accounts an unusual circumstance.
The beauty of ROTFE, it seems, rests in this unknowing, in the teasingly arcane notion of art fest as absolute wildcard. Will there be chill-out rooms à la rave? Will there be lengthy intermissions for detoxing and refueling purposes? (Buzzbrews will be onsite Saturday with a limited menu.) Or will chaos reign unimpeded, leaving nothing but sweaty flesh and contorted faces in its wake? How things will play out is anyone's guess.
In many ways, this weekend's event, like many of the Dallas DIY spectacles of late, is the result of a cumulative push from a burgeoning underground that's becoming louder by the season. In this way, ROTFE slots neatly into our ever-expanding local DIY scene, a tight knit, self-renewing community involving familiar names like Lily Taylor, George Quartz, Thor Johnson, Stefan Gonzalez and Art Peña, among others. In bringing it all together, Taboo, true to his vision, has manifested a breeding ground for the creatively indulgent and the absurd.
REALMS OF THE FOURTH EYE takes place this weekend at South Dallas' Pariah Arts. Day passes (good till 4 AM) are $15; weekend passes are $20. BYOB (including water). This is a 21+ event.


HOYER Petrolog UK are delighted to announce that 5 year deals with both Rontec and Malthurst (MRH) have been secured, to continue delivering fuel to the sites sold to these dealers as part of the Esso Branded Wholesale process.
Rontec and MRH purchased 19 sites and 78 sites respectively and HOYER Petrolog UK have now secured the distribution to these sites until the summer of 2020. Furthermore, the deliveries to Esso Branded Wholesale Rontec sites in the South West (delivered to as part of the Esso contract), have also been extended for another year, through to 2020.
The Company is still in discussions with Eurogarages regarding the 104 sites they have recently agreed to buy from Esso in the South East. Pending these discussions with Eurogarages in the South East, these deals mean that our contract to deliver to the whole of the Esso estate sold off since 2013 has been extended BEYOND the original Esso contract end date (June 2016). This achievement is testament to the positive and progressive discussions between the Company, the Union and our workforce. Job security has been significantly strengthened as a result of these contract extensions and has been achieved as a result of the positive working relationships that exist between the Company, our drivers and their representatives.


I know it's tough out there right now. Lawyers are being squeezed from top to bottom. And the challenges are not always the same. Let me be clear. But it doesn't have to be all 'doom and gloom'. There are opportunities to get out there and re-invent 'you', be a part of the change, even lead the change.

Producing Diesel on Demand from Modified Strain of E. Coli Bacteria
By Brian Westenhaus - Apr 27, 2013, 7:00 PM CDT
A team from the University of Exeter, with support from Shell, has developed a method to make bacteria produce diesel on demand. Sounding a bit like science fiction the technology still faces many significant commercialization challenges.
But the diesel, produced by the special strains of E. coli bacteria, is almost identical to conventional diesel fuel, so it doesn't need to be blended with petroleum products as is often required by biodiesels derived from plant oils.

That also means that the diesel would be a 'Drop-In' and can be used with current supplies in existing infrastructure because engines, pipelines and tankers do not need to be modified.
Professor John Love from Biosciences at the University of Exeter said: "Producing a commercial biofuel that can be used without needing to modify vehicles has been the goal of this project from the outset. Replacing conventional diesel with a carbon neutral biofuel in commercial volumes would be a tremendous step towards meeting our target of an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Global demand for energy is rising and a fuel that is independent of both global oil price fluctuations and political instability is an increasingly attractive prospect."
The E. coli bacteria group naturally turns sugars into fat to build their cell membranes. Using that genetic quality should lead to oils useful as synthetic fuels being created by harnessing this natural oil production process. Large scale manufacturing using E. coli as the catalyst is already commonplace in the pharmaceutical industry and, although the biodiesel is currently produced in tiny quantities in the laboratory, work will continue to see if this may be a viable commercial pathway to 'drop in' fuels.
The research paper was published in the U.S. yesterday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Rob Lee from Shell Projects & Technology said: "We are proud of the work being done by Exeter in using advanced biotechnologies to create the specific hydrocarbon molecules that we know will continue to be in high demand in the future. While the technology still faces several hurdles to commercialization, by exploring this new method of creating biofuel, along with other intelligent technologies, we hope they could help us to meet the challenges of limiting the rise in carbon dioxide emissions while responding to the growing global requirement for transport fuel."
Biofuels are the most immediate, practical solution for mitigating dependence on fossil hydrocarbons, but the commercial current biofuels such as alcohols and biodiesels require significant downstream processing and are not always fully compatible with modern, mass-market internal combustion engines.
The ideal biofuels are structurally and chemically identical to the fossil fuels they seek to replace. That is not such a simple thing as most petroleum products are toxic to plants in worthwhile concentrations.

The Exeter team's results demonstrate an ability to design and implement artificial molecular pathways for the production of renewable, industrially relevant fuel molecules.
Shell Oil has noticed and backed the research. With lab results in hand the intellectual exploration and discovery is finished leaving the hard work to go. Can the research scale to commercial volumes with out a massive infrastructure at a competitive price point?
Time will tell, but diesel is very close to heating oil, and jet fuel. Added together they are a huge international market.

Indian Airline passenger convicted of sexually abusing a woman on plane
20/08/2018 inquilabtimes 0 Comments
34-year-old Indian man has been arrested in the US for an alleged sexual assault on a woman passenger who fell asleep next to him on a flight.
File image of Prabhu Ramamoorthy, accused of abusing a woman seated next to him while his wife was on his other side on a Spirit Airlines flight.
The man, Prabhu Ramamoorthy, was accused of abusing a 22-year-old woman seated by the window next to him while his wife was on his other side on a Spirit Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Detroit early on 3 January.
Ramamoorthy, who prosecutors said was an Indian national living in the US on a temporary visa, was charged with aggravated sexual abuse and held without bail after an appearance in federal court in Michigan on Thursday, the Washington Post reported.
The victim told investigators that she woke up to discover the fellow passenger shoving his fingers inside her pants and "vigorously moving them", according to a federal criminal complaint. She said her shirt was also "unbuttoned".
Federal prosecutor Amanda Jawad said Ramamoorthy stopped after the victim opened her eyes and then the shaken woman immediately alerted flight attendants.
Two flight attendants told investigators that the victim was crying and that her shirt was untied and pants were unbuttoned when she reported the incident, 40 minutes before the plane's landing, Jawad said.
The woman was offered a different seat and Ramamoorthy was arrested after the plane landed, the court documents stated.
According to the prosecutor, Ramamoorthy said in a written statement that he had taken a pill and fallen into deep sleep. He said he hadn't done anything besides learning from his wife that "the woman was sleeping on his knees".
His wife told officials a similar version and said that they had called the flight attendants to try to change seats. But the prosecutor said that "flight attendants did not report that anyone asked them to change seats other than the victim".
According to a news report, Ramamoorthy later altered his story and told an FBI agent that he might have unclasped the sleeping woman's bra "while playing with it".
The court filing stated that Ramamoorthy also admitted that he "unzipped the woman's pants part-way and put his finger inside".
Prosecutor Jawad said Ramamoorthy gave "conflicting reports" about what happened with the victim. Magistrate Judge R Steven Whalen ordered Ramamoorthy to be held pending trial.
Stephen Schuler, a spokesman for Spirit, said it was cooperating with law enforcement on the incident.
Ramamoorthy made a request to contact the Indian consulate regarding his case

How was Mozart employed?
After finally returning with his father from Italy on 13 March 1773, Mozart was employed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo.
How did Mozart write his music?
Mozart composed his works " in his head ". The act of actually notating the music on paper – "copying out" as Mozart called it – was a necessary last step, but not, for him, part of the actual compositional process. According to his wife Constanze, at these moments Mozart composed music: "As if he were writing a letter."
How does Mozart's writing style differ from that of Bach?
Bach was from the late Baroque era and wrote many pieces with counterpoint and one theme per movement at a very constant tempo where the theme would be varied and elaborated on. Mozart was from the mid Classical period an wrote music with clear themes presented with simple background parts supporting it harmonically.
How did Mozart create his masterpiece?
Sketches. Mozart often wrote sketches, from small snippets to extensive drafts, for his compositions. More advanced sketches cover the most salient musical lines (the melody line, and often the bass), leaving other lines to fill in later.

Why is Mozart significant to music?
He composed masterfully in every musical format. Operas, choral works, concertos, symphonies, chamber music, solo songs, sonatas… Mozart was one of the few composers in history to compose masterworks in every conceivable musical genre.
Köchel (K) numbers are assigned sequentially according to the date of composition. For example, Mozart's opera The Magic Flute is given the Köchel number 620, and is (approximately) the 620th piece of music Mozart composed. Compositions completed at the same time are listed K69, K69a, and so on.
What's that one Mozart song?
13 in G Major, K 525 or 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik ' as it is informally known, was Mozart's most famous serenade (chamber work intended for light entertainment). The reason the piece was composed has never been fully established, but we do know he wrote the score at the same time he was working on Don Giovanni, in 1787.
Who was a better composer Mozart or Bach?
Mozart is one of the greatest composers of symphonies, string quartets and quintets, and piano sonatas – all genres which developed after Bach's time. He is also one of the greatest composers of opera, and Bach wrote no operas.
Did Mozart know Bach?
In 1764 Bach met with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was aged eight at the time and had been brought to London by his father. Bach is widely regarded as having a strong influence on the young Mozart, with scholars such as Téodor de Wyzewa and Georges de Saint-Foix describing him as "The only, true teacher of Mozart".
You might be interested: Question: What Did Mozart Accomplish?
Who is considered the greatest composer of all time?
The German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived.
What is Mozart most famous piece?
Mozart composed music in several genres, including opera and symphony. His most famous compositions included the motet Exsultate, Jubilate, K 165 (1773), the operas The Marriage of Figaro (1786) and Don Giovanni (1787), and the Jupiter Symphony (1788).

CH-53k King Stallion
Fair Lifts June 1, 2018 Helicopters, News
CH-53k King Stallion, Lockheed Martin Owned Sikorsky's Impressive Heavy Lift Helicopter Delivered to USMC
The United States Marine Corp took possession of one of an anticipated 200 CH-53k King Stallion heavy lift helicopters last week. The 53K heavy-lift helicopter is said to have the capacity to lift three times as much as the previous version the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter. The 53E, developed by Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky, was initially put into service in 1981.
Sikorsky President Dan Schultz said of the CH-53k King Stallion helicopter delivery, "Our first delivery of a CH-53K to the Marine Corps marks the start of a new generation of true heavy lift helicopter deliveries by Sikorsky that bring unsurpassed and expanded capability across the modern battlefield to provide tremendous mission flexibility and efficiency in delivering combat power, humanitarian assistance or disaster relief for those in need."
Schultz, a former CH-53 pilot himself, additionally said, "With 18 additional aircraft in various stages of production already, the entire Sikorsky team, in partnership with our suppliers, is looking forward to additional deliveries to delight our customer."
Initial reports have indicated that this particular CH-53K heavy lift helicopter will be will first be put through a Supportability Test Plan at the Marine Corps Air Station New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The test plan will further indicate to officials the helicopter's functionality, sustainment and will determine what type maintenance procedures will be necessary to provide sufficient upkeep on the helicopter. These type of assessments are used to determine the readiness in flight capability for when the CH-53k King Stallion helicopter actually enters into service for the USMC.
The CH-53k King Stallion heavy lift helicopters ultimately made their debut and demonstrated some of their impressive lift capabilities at an airshow in Berlin, Germany. The aircraft is expected to have heavy lift capabilities of up to 27,000 pounds and will assist in the transport of armored personnel carrier lifts.
Initially the CH-53k King Stallion helicopters had some US leaders in opposition to the development and purchase of the powerful helicopters by the USMC order of them, citing the expense of the helicopter's development to taxpayers.
However, following the delivery last week, Deputy Commandant for Aviation, Lt. Gen. Steven Rudder was reported to have said, "I am very proud of the work accomplished to deliver the most powerful helicopter ever designed into the hands of our Marines." He said that he is additionally hopeful that the test plan sees the helicopter potentially ready to enter into service with the USMC as early as next year.
Sikorsky expects to deliver its second CH-53k King Stallion to the USMC in early 2019.

On Quest 2, the connection between Quill and the player will also benefit from the Oculus Touch pair, joysticks that will also manipulate the environment or the inventory more freely.
"In one of the first things we have heard when we launched Moss: Book II on PlayStation VR a few weeks ago is that the Quest 2 community wanted to play there, and we will respond in a very near future. Our goal, since the first day, has been to put the Moss franchise on as many helmets as possible. We want all RV players to have the opportunity to discover the joy of physical interaction and the power of emotional resonance That we have integrated into the worlds we create.

Korea's Si Woo Kim enjoys perfect wedding gift with career fourth win at Sony Open in Hawaii
HONOLULU, HAWAII – JANUARY 15: Si Woo Kim of South Korea poses with his wife Ji Hyun Oh and the trophy after putting in to win on the 18th green during the final round of the Sony Open in Hawaii at Waialae Country Club on January 15, 2023 in Honolulu, Hawaii. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
Korea's Si Woo Kim produced a sensational come-from-behind victory over American Hayden Buckley at the Sony Open in Hawaii for his fourth career PGA TOUR title on Sunday, and his first as a married man.
Trailing overnight by three shots, the 27-year-old Kim got hot early in his final round with three opening birdies and after jostling for the lead with three more birdies and two bogeys, he chipped in for a glorious birdie on 17 and tapped in at the par-5 18th hole for a 6-under 64 and 18-under 262 winning total.
He emulated compatriot K.J. Choi, who was victorious at Waialae Country Club in 2008, and succeeded Presidents Cup International teammate Hideki Matsuyama, who triumphed at the Sony Open 12 months ago.
Kim married sweetheart and Korean LPGA player, Ji-Hyun Oh, in Seoul last month and said his latest victory, which lifted him to eighth place on the FedExCup points list and earned him US$1.42 million, was also very much due to her calming presence on the holiday isle.
"It definitely helped that she is with me here. She came to U.S. after her season ended and came out to some tournaments with me. It helps keep me calm and comfortable both inside and outside the ropes. Especially today, I could see her on golf course and when I was little nervous, that really helped me relax. Feels like we're on honeymoon because we came here a week early," said Kim, who led the field in total birdies this week with 24.
Hayden, who was chasing a first TOUR win, settled for runner-up place after a 68. He missed a 12-foot birdie putt at the last to force a playoff.
Kim charged out of the blocks by holing birdie putts of 10 feet, 16 feet and nine feet over his first three holes but did not need the flat stick for the most important birdie of the day on 17, a par-3 where he sailed the green with his tee shot.
After hearing a loud cheer on the 16th green as a result of Hayden regaining a one-shot lead, Kim chipped in from 30 feet for birdie before letting out a big fist pump and raising both hands in celebration.
"I knew he made a birdie. I heard the noise so I have to hit it aggressive. I have nothing to lose," said Kim, who was playing in the penultimate group. "It feels great and then, like the first three holes like was on fire."
He was happy to follow in the footsteps of K.J. Choi by becoming a winner in Hawaii. Choi has blazed a trail for Korean and Asian golf for over two decades, winning eight times on TOUR where he presently holds the joint record for most victories alongside Matsuyama, who finished tied 48th in his title defence.
Kim's triumph was also on the 40th anniversary of Isao Aoki's Sony Open win in 1983 which made the Japanese legend the first Asian winner on the PGA TOUR.
"It is great that I won again the event that K.J. has won previously," said Kim who also won the 2017 PLAYERS Championship – the TOUR's flagship tournament which Choi is also a former winner. "It is a good omen for me. He has won many tournaments and I always want to follow in his footsteps. It is a great honour to me."
Kim is now determined to add to his career tally although he admitted he had put too much pressure on himself in recent years. "It's like my first time winning the first event, so I think it can't be better than this. This is really exciting, and hopefully, a lot left. Hopefully, try to get more confidence and get more wins," he said.
"It was a tough year, last year. I played a lot of good rounds, but I didn't play well on Sundays. That's why I finished a lot of 13th. I think that helps me become more patient, and then this year trying to have a mindset, like trying to be less upset, and being more positive. Friday and Saturday were a little upsetting for me, but I didn't act much. I think that helped. So have to be more patient and just try to play my golf."
Korean duo Byeong Hun An and S.H. Kim, who graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour, finished tied 12th on 268 after closing rounds of 67 and 68 while Chinese Taipei rookie Kevin Yu (68) and China's Carl Yuan (68) were amongst those who shared 21st position.

Of Mount Lycæus, and grace us with your presence.
And leaves a fairer share of sky for you.
And, even now, prepare to hear their prayers.
And new-bright ploughshares glint along the furrows.
His granaries will bulge with bumper harvests.
And which crop suits (or does not suit) each field.
Beaver-oil, Epirus its prize mares.
May parch the clods exposed to baking sun.
Is turn up shallow furrows in the autumn.
Nor sandy soil be drained of precious moisture.
For all these crops exhaust the soil too quickly.
And scattering ashes over tired fields.
And land left fallow is far from wasted land.
And bitter winter winds cannot degrade it.
Holds the land firmly under his command.
That give proud Mysia such amazing harvests.
Has he dug channels to irrigate his crops?
Past rock and pebble, to cool his thirsty fields.
And forming pools which ooze out soggy moisture.
Lethargy has no place in his dominions.
And striking flints to extract their hidden fire.
And birdlime, how to hunt big game with hounds.
While others put to sea and sank drag-nets.
(earlier, men had split their wood with wedges).
Won through, driven by hunger in lean years.
In virgin woodland could no longer feed them.
Rank darnel and wild oats now held the field.
And shake down acorns to appease your hunger.
Hurdles, and winnowing-fans (sacred to Bacchus).
To make God-given land fulfil its promise.
To this a shaft is fitted, eight feet long . . .

Tim Walsh of Punum Roofing has been taking care of all my roofing needs for more than twenty years. When I met him he was working on a house two lots away from where I was building a custom home for a client in Houston. He came to look at the house I was building and noticed that the shingle roof still needed "punch out" work to be done. When I told him the company that had put the roof on had become unreachable he offered to do the "punch out" work for free if he could start bidding my work. I agreed and he is the only roofer I have used since. Punum Roofing is one of the most reliable companies that I have ever worked with. Their pricing is good, when they say they will be on the job they show up. If a problem arises they solve it. They even take care of problems that might happen after the warranty period.
My new roof is on. It looks beautiful and I want to tell you how much I have enjoyed working with you and your very fine, talented, professional staff. After 4 failed attempts to get a quality roof on my home from a variety of popular roofers, I had just about given up hope of ever finding an experienced roofer when quite by accident, I was given your name, actually for another purpose. It was indeed fortuitous and that mischance produced a beautiful, high quality, architecturally fitting roof that turned out to be absolutely perfect for the house, for the neighborhood and for me. It continues to elicit many very favorable comments from my neighbors, who, for the most part are not prone to such admissions. I was particularly impressed by the quiet, professional, businesslike, efficient way your workmen went about their business and when they finished, they were just as particular about the clean up. It isn't often that roofers are as well mannered and courteous as yours, but I can truthfully say hat I enjoyed working with them, and I am enjoying my roof every day.
I cannot thank you enough for your help. There are very few "good guys" left but in case you didn't know you are one of the few. Have a wonderful day and I will be in touch as soon as I can get the foundation on this house squared away and then on to the new shiny METAL roof! Thanks again!
I have been in the residential construction industry for 20 years and worked with Punum Roofing for the last 12 years. When I decided to build my personal home, the decision to use Punum Roofing was a quick and easy one. The peace of mind that comes with having a quality roof installation definitely makes a stressful process much easier. They have a great team of qualified, experienced, knowledgeable and service-friendly people who will go above and beyond to ensure the have happy customers.

Giltinan champion Skipper Seve Jarvin and his Gotta Love It 7 crew Scott Babbage and Peter Harris were in superb form today to take out Race 4 of the AEG 3-Buoys Challenge in a 15-knot North East wind on Sydney Harbour.
The Gotta Love It 7 team grabbed the lead at the final bottom mark of the four-lap course then edged away to defeat Appliancesonline.com.au (Micah Lane, Paul Montague and Tom Anderson) by 56s with Thurlow Fisher Lawyers, skippered by five times Giltinan champion Trevor Barnabas, a further 29s back in third place.
Andrew Chapman's Fisher & Paykel was a further 38s back in fourth place, followed by Mojo Wine (James Dorron) and De'Longhi-Rabbitohs (Simon Nearn).
Thurlow Fisher Lawyers' third placing today was enough for the team to retain the series on 18 points, with Gotta Love It 7 next on 21, Fisher & Paykel 22, Mojo Wine 23, Rabbitohs-Kenwood (Brett Van Munster) 29 and Asko Appliances (Marcus Ashley-Jones) on 30.
The series is now at the halfway point and there will be a one week break (for race 1 of the NSW Championship) before the 3-Buoys Challenge resumes on 18 November.
Most of the fleet elected to use their smaller #2 rigs today with only The Kitchen Maker, skippered by Olympic Gold Medalist Malcolm Page, and Coopers-Rag & Famish Hotel (Jack Macartney) electing to go with their bigger #1 gear.
Malcolm Page was quickly into form in his first race back in the skiffs as The Kitchen Maker led the fleet from Thurlow Fisher Lawyers as spinnakers were set for the first run back to the bottom mark.
Appliancesonline.com.au was in third place ahead of Asko Appliances, Lumix (Euan McNicol), Gotta Love It 7, Mojo Wine and Coopers-Rag & Famish Hotel.
Thurlow Fisher grabbed the lead at the bottom mark and continued to lead on the next windward leg but Asko took over with the advantage of the nearer 'red' buoy rounding.
The racing was close and positions at the head of the fleet were continually changing over the next lap of the course.
Sporting their brand new #2 rig, Appliancesonline was showing excellent pace and holding out Gotta Love It 7 before a slow mark rounding at the end of the third lap enabled the champion '7' crew through for a well deserved victory.
Five photos, as well as today's Race Report are attached.
Race 1 of the NSW Championship will be sailed next Sunday with the Spectator Ferry leaving Double Bay Public Wharf at 2.15pm.

Featuring an all-star cast including Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton, this British crowd-pleaser joyfully puts the protest back into pride.
At the height of Thatcher's reign, miners unions are striking across the UK. Protesting for their own rights, a group of London gay and lesbian activists decide to raise money to support the miners' efforts. But when they seem reluctant to accept the donation, the activists pile into a minibus and head to a small Welsh mining village to hand it over in person. This sets in motion a hilarious clash of personalities, as both sides come together in solidarity for their respective causes.

Play With Your Dog, for Science
The website Dognition.com wants to revolutionize canine research by getting everyday pet owners involved.
By Cari Romm
Darren Staples / Reuters
Scientists still aren't sure exactly when domesticated dogs first split off from wild wolves, or even how it happened—did people adopt and tame wolves tens of thousands of years ago? Or did wolves start tagging along with people of their own volition, effectively taming themselves?
Regardless of the cause, though, this much is clear: Just coexisting with dogs isn't really cutting it for us. (Coexist is kind of a chilly verb for man to apply to its best friend, anyway.) We want to understand dogs the way dogs seem to understand people. They have warm eyes that can bore straight into the soul; we have science.
In the past decade or so, scientists have published hundreds of studies on canine cognition and behavior. Among other things, these studies suggest that dogs are better at reading human social cues than many primates, and that they're the only animals other than humans who have shown the ability to make certain types of inferences.
The appeal of these findings is pretty straightforward—there's satisfaction in discovering what you have in common with something you love. (There's also satisfaction in creating those commonalities, which is why some people dress up their dogs like four-legged humans, or treat them like children, or want to believe that their pets grow to look like them). But labs can only hold so many dogs and only run so many tests at one time, and most of these studies use a small number of dogs to draw species-wide conclusions. And so, some scientists are starting to wonder if dog owners can be used to conduct research.
It's a way to neatly sort our pets the way we do ourselves: "I'm an ENTJ, and Buster's an Einstein."
In a study published today in the journal PLoS One, researchers unveiled preliminary results from the website Dognition.com (tagline: "Find the genius in your dog"). Created by Brian Hare, an evolutionary anthropologist and the head of Duke University's Canine Cognition Center, the site leads users and their dogs through a series of behavioral tests designed to reveal the dog's "cognitive style."
In a task designed to test whether a dog relies more on memory or smell, for example, an owner will place a treat under one of two cups as the dog watches, then switch the treat to the other cup without the dog seeing. If the dog heads to the original cup, the answer is memory; the second, sense of smell. Once the results are all logged, the site will use the data to assign a dog to one of nine "cognitive profiles," with labels like "Charmer" (bonded, attentive) and "Maverick" (independent, problem solver).
The researchers compared the Dognition results—522 dogs in total, taken from the site's beta-testing round and the first wave of paid subscribers—against the data they had collected from the same tasks in past studies at the Canine Cognition Center and elsewhere. In five out of seven categories, they found, the Dognition data matched up with what they had found in controlled lab studies—a pattern, they say, that hints at a future for citizen science as a fruitful area of dog research.

But while the practical research applications of Dognition may be a ways down the road, the site also offers something more immediately gratifying. The Internet is full of personality quizzes that promise to assign users a spirit animal or a Harry Potter house. For similar reasons, the Meyers-Briggs test endures despite criticisms of its limited use. Likewise, Dognition.com offers a way to neatly sort our pets the way we do ourselves. "I'm an ENTJ, and Buster's an Einstein." "I'm a Hufflepuff, and Sparky's a Charmer." Dognition is a way of understanding people as much as a way of understanding dogs—at its core, it's another reflection of the deep-seated desire to draw connections between humans and their four-legged friends.
It also offers a window into the evolution of dogs over time. "It's not always survival of the fittest. Sometimes it's the friendliest that have an evolutionary edge," Hare told Scientific American in a 2013 interview. Sometimes it's the friendliest that are forced to pose for photos dressed as tiny lumberjacks, but no animal can truly have it all.


A new digital humanities minor at the UO is giving students an edge in a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that is putting a high-tech shine on what some perceive, often incorrectly, as a rather musty realm of scholarship.
"Digital humanities empowers faculty and students to expand their examination of traditional research materials through newer technologies," said Heidi Kaufman, associate professor of English and a UO Libraries digital humanities fellow.
Kaufman has been instrumental in the creation of the new digital humanities minor. She believes the application of data visualization and analysis, digital publishing platforms, and digital archiving and mapping tools are all revolutionizing studies in the humanities.
It's a good time to add the discipline to the UO's roster of minors because the vast majority of this term's first-year students have never known a world without smartphones and Google. They've used digital tools and technologies to assist them with everything from navigation to stargazing to reading books.
When Kaufman saw the power of digital humanities, she attended workshops and learned how to integrate digital technologies into her work in 19th-century literature. Earlier this year, she worked with students to launch a website that showcases a multimedia diary of British author A.S. Lyon.
Through this project, undergraduate students in her class used digital tools for annotation, mapping and web-based text analysis. The new minor will provide students with similar opportunities to create websites or work on digital editions of texts.
Students can choose from more than 20 courses across many disciplines including philosophy, geography, computer science, environmental studies, cinema studies and English. For example, they can take a geography course that considers how geospatial data is transforming narratives about relationships between humans and the Earth, the environment and society.
Or they can take a cinema studies course that builds a digital map to study the history of film and theaters in Oregon, or a sociology course that uses digital tools to mine mass media texts to study advertisements, news broadcasts, documentaries, popular music and television.
Students will need to pass six courses, including two required courses, to complete the minor, which will be housed in the English department. One of the courses will equip students with a digital humanities toolbox by teaching them how to use a core set of tools and platforms that can be used to study and build digital projects. The second course will allow students to complete a digital capstone project of their choosing.
The minor will give students experience using digital tools and platforms that are common in academic fields and the public sector. Kaufman hopes the courses will help students build a portfolio that can showcase valuable skills and position them as competitive candidates in an increasingly digital job market.
Outside of the new minor, faculty and students have plenty of opportunities to learn more about digital humanities, including a Digital Humanities Speaker Series, "Why DH? Why DH Now?" and digital humanities workshops run through collaborations among library faculty through the Digital Scholarship Center.


Optimally achieving forest landscape restoration – and its associated benefits for ecology and human wellbeing – requires high-quality planting material.
Restoration plays a key role in sustainable development. With countries making significant pledges under the Bonn Challenge to restore degraded land, achieving these objectives at scale requires integrated systems that provide diverse, adapted and high-quality native tree seeds and planting material. However, there remains a gap in capacity, as studies have documented that the quality and quantity of tree germplasm is not always adequately addressed in restoration projects. Research is now generating solutions to help the global community move from pledges to impact when it comes to tree seeds and seedlings.


The Department for Education has confirmed that it will maintain its £27.3 million annual funding for Family Fund for three years from 2017-18. The commitment is for £81.9 million in total.
Last year, it provided 89,423 grants or services worth over £36 million to families across the UK. The charity aims to give all families raising disabled and seriously ill children and young people the same opportunities as others by providing grants for essential items, such as washing machines, sensory toys, family breaks, bedding, clothing and computers.
Minister of State for Vulnerable Children and Families Edward Timpson MP met recently with staff and families who had received support from Family Fund to find out more about what a difference the grants had made.

Rap icons Wu-Tang Clan proved they have put their differences aside when all nine members appeared together for a performance on U.S. Tv. on Wednesday night (06Aug14).
Raekwon, GZA, RZA, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna gave a rendition of new track Ron O'Neal as well as 1997 classic Triumph on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
The group also sat down for a chat with the host during the Tv appearance.
The hip-hop collective is working on new album titled A Better Tomorrow, which is due for release in November (14) and will be preceded by single Ron O'Neal, but the project has stalled several times due to disagreements between Raekwon and Rza.
The pair has reconciled in recent months, allowing work on the group's first album since 2007's 8 Diagrams to move forward.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A: This is because you have duplicated support library. The source of the problem is the + usage for version. You should not use this:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.+'

because gradle will use the latest version of 27 which is 27.1.0 (Take a look at Recent Support Library Revisions). Then your dependencies block will be something like this:
dependencies {
    //...

    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.0'

    //...

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.27.1.0'
}

which is a totally different version.
But wait, you also use the following:
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.1'

which is a different version again. The real problem is this, support design library is implicitly using appcompat-v7 and support-v4 library. So, the above line is the same as this:
compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.1'

The solutions for your problem is, you need to use same version of support library. Something like this:
dependencies {

    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0'
    // adding appcompat-v7 and support-v4 is not necessary
    //when using support design.

   // ...
}

Romaine lettuce off the menu after infection outbreak in US
Hong Kong authorities urged consumers to avoid the vegetable until further notice. More than 30 people have been infected in the US
Hong Kong consumers have been urged not to eat romaine lettuce shipped from the United States and Canada following another outbreak of the Escherichia coli infection across North America.
"For the sake of prudence, the CFS urges the public not to consume romaine lettuce from the US, Canada and unknown sources," the Centre for Food Safety warned, according to a government release.
This follows a similar alert by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), which advised "consumers, restaurants and retailers not to eat, serve or sell any romaine lettuce as it investigates an outbreak of E. coli". Canada has issued a separate warning.
The CFS said it had withheld romaine lettuce imported from the two countries for testing, and the vegetable would only be released back onto the market when the results were satisfactory. It is seeking more information, including the location where the outbreak occurred.
ParknShop, Wellcome, city'super and other major retailers had voluntarily removed the lettuce from their shelves, Apple Daily said.
More than 30 people have been infected with E. coli in 11 American states, with 13 requiring hospital treatment. In June at least 200 people fell ill from an identical outbreak, and five subsequently died. There was also an outbreak in 2017 that left 25 people ill in the US.
The causes of the earlier incidents were never confirmed, and the CDCP has not yet traced the source of the current outbreak either.

When we use the word "Spirit" there are many associations connected to it. Spirit is considered the immanent All that is both the container and the component of everything that comprises the Universe. Spirit is the immanent part of ourselves to which the Soul returns with the lessons of the lifetime it has acquired as manifest (or other) form. The Spirit of our being is our true nature as a Divine emanation of form and the work that we do in the physical world contains a spark of our Divine presence in each of our endeavors. As we move along the path of the magickal worker, we draw upon this aspect of our being, albeit often transparently, as we become the conduit through which the magick may flow.
Spirit is the Fifth of the alchemical elements and is continually the undercurrent that flows through each of the four physical elements. Air, Fire, Water and Earth form the foundation upon which manifest and un-manifest work is done. Spirit has no specific correspondences or defined boundaries and categories, as it is the flexible container that expands, contracts, opens and closes in response to everything that surrounds and contains it. Spirit manifests in everything and is everywhere. To say that everything contains spirit is to try to articulate something that cannot be limited by words, analogies or truisms.
When giving deeper consideration to what Spirit is, the physical You, as the manifest embodiment of the your Divine Spirit is the most important of all the tools you use. This tool is your own being. You, as the director, conduit and receptacle of the magickal practice you set into place are a constant. In any given situation or need, the tool of your own body and spirit is present. But, as with any of the tools of the Craft, claiming it as your own sacred vessel to work with and through comes only through exertion of effort, practice and will.
Most of the exercises that are done in preparation for magickal work are to prime and condition this vessel to serve optimally and fully in the working. Grounding and centering prior to ritual enables the body and mind of the witch to come to a meeting place of running the energy of earth and sky through the central line of the body. Visualization and meditation practices train the mind and emotions to calm and center and then to recreate in the space of the astral what has been stored and seen in the realm of the physical.
When we acknowledge our bodies, mind and emotions as Temples of the Divine and vessels that can be used just as the external tools we select we enter into a sacred agreement that forms the basis of change and transformation that are the cornerstones of the Witch's Path.
As beings of the Five Elements, we hold the power of our physical form and the abilities of that form to use these physical expressions in the creation of sacred space and the workings of magick that are woven within it.
The use of the voice for creating sound as enhancement to the energy of ritual work is a customary practice among all of the major spiritual paths. We use the words of power in the creation of sacred space, our circle of art. We use the words of command and invocation or evocation to call forth the entities that dwell in the other realms and to invite Deity to be present. We use the words of power to speak our statement of intent and declaration of focus for the work to be done. We use our words to give oath to the Path and the Ancient Ones as we step into the place of initiation. It is through the use of these words that the energetic inroads or pathways are created and it is through these doorways that the mysteries are found.
Words in the form of chants are powerful energetic signatures that combine both the declaration and speaking of a word supported through the sound and or tone that is woven into that words energy. When we cast the circle and call the quarters there are specific words that are used to embody, through the vibration of sound, the intent of that ritual.
Toning the seed sound of "om" is an effective way of raising energy within yourself and then projecting it outwards to seal a working. Toning the seed sounds that relate to the chakras can allow a greater opening of the practitioner to more effectively use and receive energy during the working. The capabilities of the human voice and its use as a tool of magickal working are vast and limited only by the limitations set by the witch.
The physical body and the energy of movement that you can make with your body is one of the significant gifts of being an incarnate being. When we move we leave the imprint of our energy in the space around us. We create spirals, lines, ups and downs that interweave and if we could see these patterns we would be amazed at the impact our physical bodies make as we move through the world around us. The Whirling Dervishes move in ecstatic state in precise and purposeful movement, forging their communion with the Divine.
Being a former ballet dancer, I can personally testify to the transfiguring qualities of movement and the impact of being able to soar through the air, suspended for a brief pause of time. That energetic impact is not only felt by the dancer, is also the point of synchronized pause of breath between the dancer and the observer of that action. This is that magickal moment of "ah" when the movement is so precisely, effortlessly and seamlessly achieved that it seems to be the stuff of magick!
When we use our body as a tool to manipulate and draw the energy that encompasses us into various states of being we replicate the same type of patterns that are made when using an Athame to define the circle of sacred space or the Chalice to hold the energy of and define the boundaries of what has been placed within it.
These are but a few examples of the power held within your own form(s), both the corporeal manifest physical body and your Spirit. As you begin the practice of working with magickal tools and crafting your own magick, always carry the intention and awareness of what gifts you already possess, that can neither be given nor taken away from you. This is the tool of great price into which you were born and that will serve you well as you grow upon your path.

Vivekananda Rock Memorial
Home/Public Articles, Vedanta Kesari/Vivekananda Rock Memorial
The Vivekananda Rock Memorial is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. This article gives a brief account of how it came into being.
Swami Vivekananda's mission for rejuvenation of Bharat began with the plan he hit upon sitting on "the last bit of Indian rock". He reveals this in a letter that he wrote to his brother-disciple Swami Ramakrishnananda on 19 March 1894 from America: "Sitting on the last bit of Indian rock—I hit upon a plan …. Suppose some disinterested sannyasins, bent on doing good to others, go from village to village, disseminating education and seeking in various ways to better the condition of all … through oral teaching, and by means of maps, cameras, globes, and such other accessories – can't that bring forth good in time? …. We, as a nation, have lost our individuality, and that is the cause of all mischief in India. We have to give back to the nation its lost individuality and raise the masses."
The Rock at Kanyakumari
The spiritual power of the Rock which is the feet of Bharatmata, drew Swami Vivekananda to Kanyakumari. After his sojourn as a wandering sannyasi across India, Swami Vivekananda reached Kanyakumari in Dec 1892. During his travelling, he had seen how Indians had degenerated into poverty, ignorance and utter loss of self- confidence. He was greatly distressed that under the rule of foreigners, the last of whom were the British, Indians had forgotten their own identity. But even amidst this degeneration he could see the unique spiritual potential of the land. He identified this potential as the tool which would uplift his fellow countrymen from their stupor, and not only that, but also empower them to contribute to the progress of human civilisation. How to achieve this was the question that was tormenting his mind.
After praying fervently to Bhagavati Kanyakumari, Swami Vivekananda came out of the temple. The sacred last bit of Rock surrounded by the waves of the sea attracted his attention. He felt a spiritual pull towards the Rock on which Bhagavati Kanyakumari had performed penance in the ancient past, the proof of which is her footprint still marked on it. Instantly he felt that the Rock on which Parashakti successfully did Her penance would be the seat where he too would find answers to his painful questions. As he had no money for boat fare, he jumped into the sea and swam to the Rock. For three days and three nights from 25 to 27 of December 1892, he remained immersed in meditation. And what a meditation it was! He was meditating not for his own salvation, but for alleviating the spiritual and physical distress of his country men and women. After three days when he returned to the shore, he told people who enquired about him, that he was a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, and sitting on the Rock he had discovered the mission of his life.
Discovering his life-mission
While meditating on the Rock, Swami Vivekananda realized that the downfall of India was not because of her dharma, but precisely because of ignorance of dharma. So he decided that the Vedantic truth of Oneness, respect for diversity, potential divinity of man, and the host of associated spiritual ideas had to be reached out to the masses across the land. This idea later clinched his decision to go to the World's Parliament of Religions at Chicago in USA and present Hindu dharma to the world at large. If the message of Vedanta successfully reverberated across the world, then Bharat's confidence in Hindu dharma would be restored and strengthened. He realised that the mission of his life lay in inspiring fellow men and women to strive and manifest the divinity within them for the good of mankind.
Rousing call
From the stage of the Parliament of Religions, Swami Vivekananda captured the attention of America. Scores of Americans eagerly imbibed the message of Sanatana Dharma that he delivered for over four years. On his return to Bharat in 1897, he gave a rousing call to the nation: "Arise! Awake!! Stop not till the goal is reached!"
Bid to erase Vivekananda's association with the Rock
On seeing Swami Vivekananda's photographs, the people of Kanyakumari recognised him as the swami who had meditated on the Rock. Later, in Swamiji's memory the people of Kannyakumari established a Vivekananda Library. But many felt that Swamiji's visit and meditation on the Rock needed to be properly commemorated.
In the year 1963, the Birth Centenary of Swami Vivekananda was being celebrated all over the country. Now the people of Kanyakumari wanted to build a memorial for Swamiji on that very historic Rock where the unknown monk was transformed into a nationbuilder and a jagadguru.
Initially things moved smoothly. But unfortunately a section of Christian community was instigated and it started demanding that the memorial of St Xavier should be built on the Rock. To fabricate their claim, they erected a big stone cross on the Rock. It became a communal issue! Naturally some who could not accept this falsehood, removed it one night. The Tamil Nadu State Government then took the stand that it was indeed Vivekananda Rock, but no memorial could be built on it.
Blessings of Ramakrishna Mission
The Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee approached Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for help. The Sangh deputed Sri Eknath Ranade to take up the cause. Knowing that the Memorial work would be a full-time task, Eknathji was relieved of his responsibilities in the Sangh.
Before going to Kanyakumari, or to Madras (now Chennai) where the Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee had its registered office, Eknathji first went to Calcutta (now Kolkata) to seek the blessings of Srimat Swami Madhavananda Maharaj, the 9th President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission. Revered Maharaj blessed Eknathji and told him: "As we are a sannyasi organization we cannot involve in this directly as it may need agitations etc. You go ahead and Thakur will bless you, Swami Vivekananda will bless you, and you have my blessings also. You are born to do this work.
Obstacles at three levels
Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee nominated Sri Eknathji as its Organizing Secretary. He faced difficulties at three levels – a section of local Christian community was opposing a memorial for Swami Vivekananda on the Rock; the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had taken the stand that he would not allow the memorial to be built on the Rock; and Sri Humayun Kabir, Union Minister of Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs while referring to the controversy had said that the memorial on the rock would spoil the natural beauty. The subject of Rock Memorial had all the potential to be a communal flash point.
Eknathji decided first to meet Sri Humayun Kabir. The minister avoided meeting him. Therefore, with the help of some swamis from Ramakrishna Mission, Eknathji contacted the journalists of Kolkata and held a Press Conference. The next day, the newspapers in Kolkata highlighted the news that Sri Humayun Kabir, elected by the people of Kolkata, was opposing a Memorial for Swami Vivekananda, the revered son of Kolkata. The outcry forced Sri Humayun Kabir to immediately invite Eknathji for a meeting and later announce that he was not against the Memorial for Swami Vivekananda. The first hurdle was thus cleared.
Support from 323 MPs
Eknathji next met Sri Bhaktavatsalam, Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. Though the CM refused to give permission, Eknathji kept the dialogue alive. He also realised that he needed to try at a different level. He collected information that the Chief Minister obeyed Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in political matters, and that he was an ardent devotee of the Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamkoti Peetham, Sri Chandrashekharendra Saraswati, commonly known as Paramacharya.
Eknathji went to Delhi and requested Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri for help. He was told to wait for a better time. Due to the 1962 Chinese invasion the situation in Delhi was depressive. But Eknathji did not sit quiet. He met various leaders and eminent personalities in Delhi and apprised them of the matter. As the centenary year was coming to a close, he again went to Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri, who told him to get within three days the signatures of at least some members of the Parliament appealing for the Memorial.
After three days Eknathji submitted to Shastriji the signatures of 323 MPs – practically all the MPs present in Delhi at that time. Shastriji was stunned. Cutting across political, regional and creedal lines all the MPs had signed. How did Eknathji, a pracharak of the Sangh get the signatures of all MPs? Eknathji's appeal was simple. "In the interest of our nation, to pay our respects to Swami Vivekananda, can we not rise above our political, regional and religious colours?" All responded positively.
When all the MPs desired the Memorial, it meant the whole country was aspiring for it. Responding to this development, Sri Bhaktavatsalam agreed for a statue of Swami Vivekananda on the Rock, with the condition that the temple should be only a 15 by 15 feet shrine.
Purity, Patience and Perseverance: Key to Success
Deciding that the Memorial should match the aspirations of the nation, Eknathji took the Chief Minister's permission to consult about the designs for the temple with the President of India, the Prime Minister, other prominent public figures, the President of the Ramakrishna Order, and the Paramacharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham.
The Kanchi Paramacharya took keen interest in the design of the Memorial. Under his directions the traditional temple architect Sthapati Sri S. K. Achari designed the temple. Only it was a little bigger than what was permitted – the Sabha Mandapam alone was 130'x 56'! Gradually, over the next four years, permission was obtained for Sripada Mandapam, Dhyana Mandapam, administrative quarters, helipad, rain water reservoirs etc.
Funds?
Funds was a big challenge from the very beginning. For six years, almost on an average 650 workers worked every day in stone sculpting, polishing, construction etc. Their salaries had to be paid every week. Sometimes when the salary could not be paid Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee (VRMC) took loan just to feed the workers. There were suggestions to suspend the work. But Eknathji did not agree. He wanted the Memorial to be constructed in time at any cost, for he had another bigger vision to materialise.
To raise funds VRMC printed one-rupee folders with the picture of the proposed Memorial, Swami Vivekananda, and his inspiring quotations. Public Committees were formed in each state comprising people from various walks of life cutting across political, regional, sectarian lines. Thus 85 lakh rupees were collected through one rupee and two rupee donations from the common people. Almost all the state governments in spite of whatever party was in power donated one lakh rupees for the Memorial. The Central Government donated Rs. 15 lakhs. The first donation of Rs. 10,000/- was given by Swami Chinmayananda of Chinmaya Mission.
The two-month inauguration
Within a record time of six years, the grand memorial costing one crore and thirty lakhs rupees was ready for inauguration. Kanyakumari was then a small village with no facilities to accommodate large numbers of people. Therefore, the inauguration programme was panned out for two months, allotting a separate time for each state.
Swami Vireshwarananda, the 10th President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, consecrated the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. It was formally inaugurated on 2 September 1970 by the President of India Sri V. V. Giri. The inaugural celebrations were attended by many dignitaries including Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, and Vice President of India Sri G. S. Pathak.
Vivekananda Kendra: The second phase of the Memorial
Eknathji did not want to limit the Memorial of Swami Vivekananda to a granite building. He felt that the real living memorial for Swami Vivekananda would be the lives of men and women dedicated to the nation in serving the needy and suffering people. Thus, on 7 January 1972 Vivekananda Kendra a spiritually-oriented service mission was started.
Young men and women ready to dedicate their whole life in selfless work are trained by Vivekananda Kendra and called jeevanvrati karyakartas. They are sent to different parts of the country, where with the help of local volunteers, they take up various service activities like education in tribal and rural areas, rural development, natural resource development, cultural research, publications, youth motivation, samskara varga for children, and yoga vargas. Today, Vivekananda Kendra is working in over 1005 places in cities across the country and in the border states like Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Andaman.
This year, Vivekananda Rock Memorial is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. It is in every sense a national memorial. It is – a memorial for which all Members of Parliament overcoming party politics appealed for; a memorial for which people throughout the country gave one rupee or two-rupee donation; the only memorial for which almost all state governments donated a minimum of one lakh rupees each; a memorial which has the harmonious blending of different styles of Indian traditional architectures. The Memorial is also perhaps the only such example in the world where a Memorial in granite gave birth to a living memorial, a mighty service organization.
The story of the Memorial is also the story of Sri Eknath Ranade. Eknathji's The Story of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial reveals a unique personality full of grit, brilliant acumen, resourcefulness, patriotism, and love for Swami Vivekananda. In his lecture 'My Plan of Campaign' delivered in Madras, Swami Vivekananda gave a call: "Men, men, these are wanted; everything else will be ready, but strong, vigorous, believing young men, sincere to the backbone, are wanted. A hundred such and the world becomes revolutionized." Eknath Ranade was one such personality. He was a soldier of Swami Vivekananda and played his part in rebuilding India.
