First Satyagraha Tour of South Africa
Led by Arun Gandhi, Embarks This Week
May 23, 2014 by Lynnea Bylund
News Announcement Originally Posted at Gandhi Legacy Tour
(PRLEAP.COM) Dana Point, CA May 25, 2014: The inaugural Satyagraha Tour of South Africa enjoys organic synchronicity of critical historical dates of both Mohandas Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Highlights include following the path of Gandhi's travels, initially arriving in Durban, and ultimately departing from Cape Town for his return to India to begin the next phase of his legacy:
Gandhi first arrived in South Africa as a fledgling lawyer in May 1893.
Our arrival to Gandhi's first ashram, the Phoenix Settlement, occurs on the 97th anniversary of Gandhi's family move there.
We will board the sleeper train on the 121st anniversary of Gandhi's removal from that train, which changed the course of history.
We visit Robben Island, the prison that held Mandela for 18 years, on the 50th anniversary of Mandela's life sentence for sabotage against the Apartheid government of South Africa.
We depart Cape Town on the eve of Gandhi's 100th anniversary of his very own departure from Cape Town back to India.
Also scheduled are special meetings with historic figures that played a significant role in the fight for freedom during Apartheid, like Ahmed Kathrada and Ela Gandhi, Gandhi's granddaughter who spent years under house arrest for her South African activism.
In an era of increasing awareness of world issues and global humanitarian needs, there has been a recent surge in philanthropic travel, using travel as a means to give back. "There's something in all of us that hungers after the good and true, and when we glimpse it in people, we applaud them for it. Through them we let the world's pain into our hearts, and we find compassion. When things go wrong or have been terribly wrong for some time, their inspiration reminds us of the tenderness for life that we can all feel." –Archbishop Desmond Tutu
As a part of the first Satyagraha Legacy Tour of South Africa, there are several projects we visit that are aligned to Gandhi's principals and are geared toward giving back, including: [Read more…]

Engaging the Conversation!
February 12, 2014 by Lynnea Bylund
Salaam alaikum! Good Morning friends!
Is Gandhi Thriving More in India or America?
Dr. Abdul Malik Mujahid host of Radio Islam engages Dr. Arun Gandhi in a conversation this week: Malik welcomes Arun noting that he is a true friend of humanity. In this intimate interview Malik and Arun cover a wide range of topics from India and South African politics, MK Gandhi's politics, and who is responsible for bringing about Gandhian social, economic and political change today in India.
Malik asks Arun about the Gandhi Legacy Tours, why they were started, and the upcoming inaugural Satyagraha Tour of South Africa he will be personally leading this May. Arun stated that the new educational tour through South Africa, will lead us to better understand the philosophy of nonviolence and its application within the violent 21st century: "If this world is to be saved from self-destruction, nonviolence is inevitable." Arun not only personally leads the travel groups every year but also participates in dialogues and discussions throughout the tour. He noted, "As President Nelson Mandela famously said: India sent a man to South Africa and we sent back a Mahatma."
The conversation segues into Nelson Mandela's legacy, democracy, and they acknowledge how Americans gets stereotyped by foreigners. Arun talks about his father Manilal Gandhi's struggle in South Africa and how the US, India and South Africa can learn from each other. Arun shares a beautiful leela about his grandmother Kasturba and "The Forgotten Woman" a book he and his late wife Sunanda co-authored about her untold story.
Malik continues raising questions like Is Gandhi Thriving More in India or America? What is non-violence? How can non violence be used in social economic issues? To find out more listen in…

Arun Gandhi and Vandana Shiva with Gary Null
January 31, 2014 by Lynnea Bylund
Two remarkable modern heroes, were on the air with Dr. Gary Null. Null's 'Conversations With Remarkable Minds series. Both on this same hour show, a great listen. Gary Null is known as a take-no-prisoners health activist and author of several books including the recently published Reverse Arthritis & Pain Naturally.
Dr. Vandana Shiva is a renown environmental and social activist, and formerly one of India's top nuclear physicists. She is regarded as the leading pioneer behind India's ecological and ecofeminism movement. In 1982 Dr. Shiva founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, which led to the creation of Navdanya – an organization dedicated to the restoration of organic farming across India and the preservation of indigenous knowledge and culture.
For several decades, Vandana has fought for changes in the globalized practices of agriculture and food. She has traveled the world speaking against biopiracy and patenting of indigenous knowledge by large agricultural and pharmaceutical corporations. Her activist efforts have created grassroots organizations throughout the developing world to counter genetic engineering of crops, as well as empower women throughout the third world.
Born in 1934 in Durban, South Africa, Arun Gandhi is the fifth grandson of India's legendary leader, "Mahatma" Gandhi. Growing up under the discriminatory apartheid laws of South Africa, he was beaten by "white" South Africans for being too black and by "black" South Africans for being too white. His grandfather taught Arun to understand nonviolence through understanding violence.
For 30 years Arun worked as a journalist for the Times of India and founded the Center for Social Change which has aided half a million people in 300 villages of Maharashtra. Coming to the US in 1987 Arun and his wife Sunanda founded the M.K Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence now located at the University of Rochester in NY, and later founded the Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute to foster economic equanimity in depressed regions of the globe. He was recently elected to the Board of the Trustees for the Council for a Parliament of World Religions. Arun has written a series of books on Gandhi's life, the relevance of Gandhi's vision for today, and has edited publications of his grandfather's writings including "The Way of God." His website is at www.ArunGandhi.net
Lynnea Bylund is managing director of Gandhi Legacy Tours, Director of Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute, founder of Catalyst House and has nearly three decades of experience in administration, marketing and business development. She was a nationally recognized spokeswoman for the emerging alternative video and information delivery industries. She has a degree in holistic health-nutrition from the legendary and controversial health educator and activist Dr. Kurt Donsbach, she is the founder of two not-for-profit small business-based wireless trade associations and has lobbied on Capitol Hill and at the FCC where she has spoken out strongly against the cable TV monopoly, illegal spectrum warehousing and ill-conceived congressional schemes to auction our nation's precious airwaves to the highest bidder. Ms. Bylund is a founder and former CEO of a Washington DC telecommunications consulting and management company with holdings in several operating and developmental wireless communications systems and companies. In 1995 Lynnea became the first female in the world to be awarded a Broadband PCS operating permit – she was one of only 17 winners, along with Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon in the biggest cash auction in world history, raising a whopping $8 billion. Lynnea also spear-headed the successful effort to launch the first cable TV network in the South Pacific islands.

About Enemies and Debates
December 12, 2013 by Lynnea Bylund
This was originally requested by and posted to the Council for a Parliament of the World Religions website: CPWR About Enemies and Debates by Arun Gandhi
By Arun Gandhi
Lately there has been a lot of talk about "enemies" and how to deal with them. Inevitably, this leads to a heated "debate" and I find both these concepts repugnant since they form the foundation of what I call the Culture of Violence.
If there is anything I have learned from Gandhi's writings and the lessons he taught me as a young boy entering his teens is that humankind is inexorably dominated by a Culture of Violence. Over generations the roots of this culture have run deep dominating every aspect of human life — from parenting at home to governing nations. The salvation, according to Gandhi, lies in each of us "becoming the change we wish to see in the world."
During the struggle for India's freedom from British Colonialism one rule that was observed strictly was never to dehumanize the British as "enemies". Even when someone made a joke Grandfather would admonish the person and insist that we root out all words from our vocabulary that dehumanize people. Dehumanization is the first step in justifying violence and war. When we learn to respect everyone as human beings — even those with whom we may have differences of opinion — we will reduce violence.
Whenever possible Gandhi entered into a "discussion" with the British, never a "debate". A discussion implies an openness to understand the other's point of view and arrive at an amicable understanding whereas a debate implies there is only one Truth and the person with the gift of the gab can overwhelm the other.
A very potent example of this is religion. There are endless debates about which religion is the best and everyone claims they have the whole Truth. This attitude has led to wars, violence, massacres and genocides in the name of God. Yet, unfortunately, we are unwilling to accept that there are many aspects to one Truth. If we continue to debate this point we will never arrive at any understanding.
Religion, my Grandfather used to say, is the spiritual Mount Everest. All of us are trying to scale this peak and we choose different paths to get to the top. Since all the paths are equal why should it be a matter of contention which path one chooses to take? The important objective is for every individual to get to the top by making a sincere and committed effort. It needs no organization — just individual commitment and dedication. Incidentally, I am offering these thoughts for a discussion, not a debate!

Meeting Mr. Arun Gandhi – Part 3
December 5, 2013 by Lynnea Bylund
Here is the final part of Moe Yonamine's guest blog.
Part Three by Moé Yonamine
Since our Skype two weeks ago, my students are still talking about two stories Arun told—the mountain story and the peace-farmer story.
Jenni beautifully captured Arun's message in an essay she wrote: "Have you ever noticed how people of different religions go after each other? And not just religion, but races as well. This hasn't happened to me personally, but I've seen people where they are treated differently just because their skin is a different color, or they come from a different religion. We brought the topic up to Mr. Gandhi, and he told us the story about the mountains. The story is simply saying that there's no reason for us to treat each other badly. We may come from different parts of the world, but we are all heading to the same place. We all want to reach the top of the mountain. We just take different paths to get there."
This story unfolded in the home of Jesse a few nights after the talk with Arun. Jesse shared this in his reflective writing: "Living in a household where Catholicism has been in my family since the start can be conflicting when I talk about my perspective on religion. I believe in self-reflection and peace with your physical and spiritual body. My mom is open to hear my beliefs, but my step-dad isn't on the same page. The most recent discussion I had with my step-dad was intense. While I listened to my step-dad, I thought about the talk we had with Mr. Gandhi. I was thinking about the story of the mountain. I asked my step-dad why judge and talk bad about other religions. Religions may have different beliefs, but they all strive to get to the same place. Sitting in silence for a couple of minutes made me realize he was thinking. He began to talk about his acceptance of my beliefs. I would like to think that I changed the way he thinks after that night, and that he would end the type of violence he was doing." [Read more…]
Part Two by Moé Yonamine
Eager students packed the library, 138 of them seated in rows of chairs waiting for the moment Mr. Arun Gandhi's face would appear on the screen. Excitement, anxiety, and laughter filled the room. My students would soon have the opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation with Arun, whose universal work we had studied along with that of his grandfather. Roosevelt High School is one of the most diverse schools in Oregon, and the faces of students represented peoples from across the globe and the great challenges and struggles many have encountered in their lives and street experiences.
These students entered my class in September, many outraged and frustrated with the Trayvon Martin verdict. The experience of Trayvon hit home to so many who regularly experience issues of race and violence in their own communities. Trayvon Martin's case had become a symbol of injustices they had seen in their own lives and the verdict a reminder of what society sees as the solution. "What's the point of even trying?" Damarté said during the first week of class. He explained that the outcome okays violence as the just solution to an injustice, so speaking up is not going to do much. My sophomore class waited for my response, many feeling the same discouragement.
We needed to take a bold look at the world and decided to use the lens of asking these two questions: What should the world know about this situation? What should the world (and people) do? We looked at many issues around the world today, discussing injustices the students saw and how they connected to them through their own lives, including issues of stop-and-frisk in New York, post-apartheid conditions in South Africa, continuing conflicts in Israel/Palestine, and the devastating genocide in Rwanda. We analyzed deeply about what should be done about the injustices they identified. "How come we don't learn from things that have happened to other people?" said Carolina. "Why, if we all know how bad the Holocaust was, did we let something like that happen in Rwanda?" "And the Israelis who went through this in the past are now part of the same thing with the Palestinians," Curtis said covering his face with his hands in frustration. "It just keeps repeating, Ms. Yonamine," echoed Carolina, looking for an answer. I heard the voices of despair. [Read more…]

"The Peace Pianist," Davide Martello playing in Taksim Square
September 17, 2013 by Lynnea Bylund
Davide Martello World Tour for Peace Announces USA Tour
November 2013-2014
"The Peace Pianist," playing in Taksim Square
Davide Martello, an Italian pianist based in Germany, began his world tour over two years ago with the intention of helping to bring about a more peaceful tomorrow. He has played in over 60 cities worldwide, including Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan; Sarajevo, Bosnia, and Pristina, Kosovo.
In June 2013 Martello brought his grand piano to Taksim Square in Istanbul, during the Gezi Park protests. It was there that journalists gave him the name, "The Peace Pianist." For the three days that he played in Taksim Square, he showed the power of music to calm tensions. Police and protesters alike took off their riot gear and listened to him play, and for over 50 hours there was peace in the square.
His performances covered by
CNN, New York Times, Huffington Post, The Times.
Everyone has their own gifts they can use to make the world a more peaceful place. I've got my piano," Martello said.
Martello will continue his world tour in America. He will drive his piano across the entire continental United States to promote his message of peace through music. He plays performances in outdoor spaces, believing that music outdoors causes all of us to reflect for a moment in the midst of our busy lives – a reflection that is often a movement of the human soul toward peace. Martello performs in outdoor spaces for free.
In addition to playing in public venues he will also be playing for organizations that are helping to create a peaceful tomorrow (including Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute, Partners in School Innovation, Peace and Brotherhood, among others).
Please find below Martello's tentative schedule for the USA tour:

Stop Fracking Me Out: More on Tuesday's Demonstration
June 20, 2013 by Lynnea Bylund
Protesters turn out in large numbers to tell the governor they still oppose hydraulic fracturing
Songstress Natalie Merchant initated the rally, before by a diverse crowd, with Guthries "This Land Is Your Land," and other songs throughout the event. Sen. Tony Avella (D-Queens), actress Debra Winger, and Oren Lyons of the Onondaga Indian Nation were also in attendance.
At one point, crowd members raised their fists and pledged to "Resist Fracking in New York!"
While the pledge united those who signed and recited it in the resolve to perform nonviolent acts of civil disobedience as their own consciences saw fit, some in the movement are ready to do whatever it takes to stop fracking.

From Metroland –
Arun Gandhi, grandson to iconic activist Mohandas Gandhi, spoke quietly but resolutely to the crowd. "I have been going to India, and studying this issue and I am surprised that uneducated women from the villages who've lived and grown up in poverty have been taught to make solar panels . . . and these women have gone out and electrified hundred of villages in India. . . . I don't understand why the most powerful state in the United States and the most powerful country in the world . . . is unable to use solar energy to electrify in this country."
He urged Gov. Cuomo to "take a lesson from these poor uneducated women in India." As he closed his speech, his voice grew louder.
"This country has been hijacked. It's no longer a democracy; it's become a dollar-cracy. We have to take back our country. If we make a loud enough voice, that will happen."

Today's Fracking Protest in Albany
3000 (approx) New Yorkers (state) united today in Albany to call on Gov. Cuomo to lead the nation in constructing a truly renewable energy economy in New York rather than continuing down a damaging path towards continued reliance on dirty, destructive fossil fuels.
> Here is a marvelous interactive infographic "DEEP DIVE" *
Protesters included myself, Congressman Maurice Hinchey, Lois Gibbs of Center for Health, Environment & Justice, Jim Dean of Democracy for America, Stanford U professor and ecology advocate Mark Jacobson, and Oren Lyons and Phil Aroneanu of 350.org.
EcoWatch explains –
With Gov. Cuomo (D-NY) weighing whether or not to allow fracking in New York State, the NY Crossroads rally will draw attention to this pivotal moment in the state's energy future. With or without regulations in place, fracking is a menace to the environment, public health and emits greenhouse gases at disturbing levels that undermine its credentials as a bridge fuel, beneficial for the environment to avoid climate change. Gov. Cuomo has insisted that his decision would be guided by science, but his administration's actions thus far have lacked transparency and scientific rigor.

Inspiring students with lessons on peace and nonviolence
Source: phillyburbs.com
Sylvia Baldwin will carry the stories with her.
The New Hope-Solebury High School teen was one of five area students who sat enraptured and inspired, as Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, shared tales from his life as an advocate for peace and nonviolence Saturday at a private breakfast at Cross Culture Indian restaurant in Doylestown. The breakfast was sponsored by the Peace Center in Langhorne, where the 79-year-old social activist is an honorary member, and was one of three events he attended this weekend.
As the students plied him with questions on topics as varied as education, bullying, war and the importance of family, Gandhi shared stories from the years he spent living with his grandfather, from age 12 to 14. In one, he threw away the still-usable butt of a pencil on his way home from school, thinking the elder Gandhi would simply supply a new one. Instead, he was told to find the pencil he'd discarded. The lesson? Even a simple pencil uses the world's natural resources and to waste one, as he had, was an act of violence against nature. It also was an act of violence against humanity, depriving those living in poverty of access to such resources due to over consumption. [Read more…]

120th Anniversary of Racist Discrimination that changed the World
June 5, 2013 by Lynnea Bylund
Gandhi Legacy Tour made the following press announcement today.
In its 16th year, and on the 120th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's first act of non-violent civil resistance, Gandhi Legacy Tours has announced two new philanthropic travel missions in India and South Africa to be led by Arun and Tushar Gandhi
Dana Point, CA June 5, 2013: "It was exactly 120 years ago on June 7 that Mohandas K. Gandhi was thrown off a train in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in a racist act that transformed a lawyer into a Mahatma — Great Soul," said Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. (Mahatma) Gandhi today.
To mark the occasion Dr. Gandhi, president of Gandhi Legacy Tours and Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute, announced two additional educational tours to South Africa and India, to understand the philosophy of nonviolence and its application in the 21st century, which is rapidly becoming the most violent in history. "If this world is to be saved from self-destruction," Dr. Gandhi said. "Nonviolence is inevitable."
The proposed two new tours are the Gandhi Legacy of Love Tour of India and the Gandhi Satyagraha Legacy Tour of South Africa. The original Gandhi Legacy Tour was started in 1998 and over 16 years a few hundred students later, young and old have been exposed to the many facets of the philosophy of nonviolence. Apart from visiting key places where Gandhi lived and worked, the tour includes projects started by young individuals inspired by Gandhi's applied philosophy and writings.
The racial incident that occurred on June 7, 1893, was traumatic enough to change the life of Gandhi. As President Nelson Mandela said: "India sent a man to South Africa and we sent back a Mahatma."
Dr. Gandhi, noted peace and human rights activist, not only personally leads the group every year but also participates in dialogues and discussions throughout the tour.
2013-14 Gandhi Tour Dates:
Gandhi Legacy: Dec 29 2013 – January 13 2014
Gandhi Legacy of Love: Dec 2 2013 – Dec 15 2013
Gandhi Satyagraha Legacy: 2014 TBA Itinerary

Gandhi's grandson delivers message of peace!
Here is a preview of an article that Richard Baldwin wrote covering my recent Message of Peace in Buffalo, New York. Enjoy!
Source: By Richard Baldwin | News Niagara Reporter
A boldly inspirational program to bring peace to cities, neighborhoods, homes and hearts throughout the nation began Sunday in Buffalo, as "Mahatma" Gandhi's grandson exhorted an audience of 400 people to "work toward becoming good, loving human beings through love, respect, understanding, acceptance and compassion" — for everyone.
"How can we call ourselves civilized if we go on living the way we do without love for one another?" asked Arun Gandhi, whose grandfather was the renowned Indian peace advocate Mohandas K. Gandhi.
"We need to form a world of forgiveness, and try each day to be a better person than we were yesterday," Gandhi said during a program called "Peace Matters" in Asbury Hall — sometimes called Babeville — site of the former Asbury-Delaware United Methodist Church.
The program, subtitled "Creating Peace in the World," was the first in a series of "Peace Matters" presentations to be sponsored during the coming year by an organization called PeaceWeavers in cities such as Princeton, N.J., Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans and beyond, and returning to Buffalo next November at a time to be determined. PeaceWeavers is based in Bath.
Paula Connors, a director of PeaceWeavers, said the goal is "to break cycles of poverty and overcome the tragedy of violent crime in Buffalo, then in other cities around the nation and, eventually, around the world."

Manilal Mohandas Gandhi (28 October 1892 – 4 April 1956) was the second of four sons of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Kasturba Gandhi. Manilal was born in Rajkot, India. In 1897 Manilal traveled to South Africa for the first time, where he spent time working at the Phoenix Ashram near Durban. After a brief visit to India, in 1917 Manilal returned to South Africa to assist in printing the Indian Opinion a Gujarati-English weekly publication, at Phoenix, Durban. By 1918, Manilal was doing most of the work for the press and took over in 1920 as editor. Like his father, Manilal was also sent to jail several times by the British colonial government after protesting against unjust laws. He remained editor until 1956, the year of his death.

Gandhi Day: Gandhi's Poignant Legacy
October 1, 2012 by Lynnea Bylund
Children offer flowers to Mahatma Gandhi statue on His birth anniversary in Shimla India
On the 143rd birth anniversary of my grandfather I am reminded of a poignant statement he made to a journalist who asked: What do you think will happen with your philosophy after you die? With sadness in his voice he said: "The people will follow me in life, worship me in death but not make my cause their cause." How right he was!
We have either rejected the philosophy of nonviolence as impractical or we have reduced it to a weapon of convenience and misused it. The philosophy is about personal transformation changing greed, anger, frustration and other negative attitudes into love, respect, compassion, understanding and acceptance. We have the capacity to act either way but we chose to suppress the positive and display the negative in order to project ourselves as powerful. What we forget is that the greatest power in the world is LOVE. It is also the basis of all civilization. We are materially wealthy, but morally bankrupt. Can we Become the Change We Wish To See In The World?

Arun Gandhi commented on his trip, "The media has been covering all the negative aspects of Haiti, and making it out to be a disaster since the earthquake, so you gather a picture of total hopelessness and that nothing is really happening. But because of my experience in this work all these years, I was sure there was something in the people that would be more positive."
He continued, "So I came here with an open mind to see the country and learn from the people and share with them my experiences, understanding, and knowledge of my grandfather's philosophy in the hope that it would make a difference in their lives and show them the way to get out of the mire they find themselves in because of these natural occurrences."

Harvesting Happiness Talk Radio Welcomes Arun Gandhi March 14, 2012
Born in 1934 in Durban, South Africa, Arun is the fifth grandson of India's legendary leader, Mohandas K. "Mahatma" Gandhi. Growing up under the discriminatory apartheid laws of South Africa, he was beaten by "white" South Africans for being too black and "black" South Africans for being too white; so, Arun sought eye-for-an-eye justice. However, he learned from his parents and grandparents that justice does not mean revenge, it means transforming the opponent through love and suffering.
Grandfather taught Arun to understand nonviolence through understanding violence. "If we know how much passive violence we perpetrate against one another we will understand why there is so much physical violence plaguing societies and the world," Gandhi said. Through daily lessons, Arun says, he learned about violence and about anger. [Read more…]

Arun Gandhi speaks at the Salt Lake City Public Library
March 1, 2012 by Lynnea Bylund
By: Shad Engkilterra
On Feb. 29, 2012, Arun Gandhi spoke at the Salt Lake City Public Library in the evening.
The grandson of MK Gandhi, Arun spoke about religion and overconsumption. He also echoed themes from his earlier appearance in the day at Salt Lake Community College.
"I look at it as an honor," says Arun about a time that a reporter asked him about Mormons baptizing his grandfather. "The Mormons had found slot machines online him (Mahatma Gandhi) so important that they would like to baptize him and make him part of the family."
Arun says that the question brings into focus our tendency to use religion to keep ourselves divided.
"We need to come together because religion according to him (Mahatma Gandhi) is about love," says Arun. "There are no different gods. There is only one God."
To create less violence in the world, we need to change the perception of consumption in this country.
"Our economy is based on consumption," says Arun. "There comes a time when we can't buy anymore."
People who focus on making money may neglect their families, their children and their friends.
"Making money is not the only thing in life," says Arun. "Materialism and morality have an inverse relationship. We need to find a balance between the two."
Arun Gandhi urges practice of nonviolence, personal peace

Gandhi's Grandson Shares Lessons for Nonviolent Life
How would your parents or caregivers had responded if you had, on multiple occasions, disruptively, and for no good reason, burst into a room where they were either working, or conducting important meetings?
For many, the resounding answer would be punishment, or at least a stern talking to. Arun Gandhi recalled during an assembly Tuesday morning at Hatboro-Horsham High School, that his grandfather, Mohandas Gandhi, did neither.
Instead, the late leader of India, whose penchant for righting social and political injustices through peaceful and non-violent actions, paused from his "high-level political discussions" – which in the mid-1940s were aiming to tackle weighty issues including the independence of his country and the emancipation of women – and simply placed his hand over his grandson's mouth. With the then 12-year-old Arun Gandhi quieted, the elder Gandhi continued talking. [Read more…]

Hope for Peace and Respect in Egypt
February 3, 2011 by Lynnea Bylund
DENVER – The world has been watching Egyptians try to force change in their government. That includes the family of Mahatma Gandhi. He led a peaceful independence movement in India in the 1930s and 40s. Thursday night, his grandson arrived in Colorado. "Violence is not a civilized way," Arun Gandhi said.
It's been more than 60 years since his grandfather died, but Arun Gandhi says he has followed in his footsteps. "I was very fortunate, living with my grandfather at the age of 12, he taught me valuable lessons that have made a difference in my life," he said. Arun Gandhi speaks around the world advocating for nonviolence and peace.
During the unrest in Cairo, at least 800 people have been injured and 10 killed. "It pains me when I see the riots, the killing and all that. It's very painful, but I suppose it's something that every nation has to go through in seeking independence and change," Arun Gandhi said. He says his grandfather would not be happy with the violence in Egypt.
"He would certainly say we are not behaving in a civilized manner," Arun Gandhi said. "I hope that the president will submit his resignation and leave, hand over power to whoever is qualified to take over, transition very smooth and positive." "The more we try to exploit, the more there is a possibility of violence breaking out. We should try to create a reality based off respect, acceptance of each other, whether it's interpersonal or international," he said.
Arun Gandhi is speaking on Friday at Aurora Central High School from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Gandhi Legacy Tour Itinerary India


It is almost impossible to not have Europe on your list of places to visit if you are an avid traveler or explorer. Not only it is home to some of the most famous countries such as England, France, Germany, Italy etc., but also has something for almost everyone. If you are someone who enjoys history there are some amazing museums and locations to visit. You will find ample opportunities for parties and nightlife while munching on to some of the finest cuisines. Right from the Colosseum in Rome to The Louvre in Paris, from the Grand Canal in Venice to Florence Cathedral, there is a lot to choose from. In fact, it will be a tough time in deciding which all places to visit.
But even before you get on to the planning for a trip across Europe, there is another herculean task at your hands, funds. Yes, the prices of flight tickets and hotels might have come down a lot over the past few years, but that doesn't mean the entire trip will be cheap by any margins. There are ways of cutting down costs on a trip, but you would need access to funds even for those. You can always push the trip for a further date like you always have been, or book the tickets right away with the help of a PL.
A PL is a personal loan that you can acquire from a bank for any purpose you wish to, in this case, a trip to Europe. Unlike most other loan types, a PL or personal loan does not require you to submit any form of collateral. It is because of this reason that a personal loan is categorized as an unsecured loan. Here are some reasons why you should consider a personal loan for that long awaiting Europe trip.
A personal loan is fast in every sense. Right from the time you fill up the application form until the bank disburses the amount to your account, it is a matter of a couple of days at the maximum. Some banks even guarantee to provide the loan within 48 hours. If you consider the amount of time taken for other loans to process, that is incredibly fast.
As already mentioned, you need not have a specific reason for taking home a personal loan. There are some don'ts when it comes to personal loans such as usage of funds for buying gold or criminal activities of any sorts. But for your Europe trip, there won't be any questions.
Depending on your lender or bank, you can opt for a repayment schedule that works for you. You can either opt for a higher EMI and finish up the loan fast or opt for a longer tenure of repayment so that the EMI is not so steep. Some banks allow you to repay a personal loan up to 7 years.
With a constant increase in the number of lenders providing you with personal loans, the interest rates have come down. You essentially end up paying a lesser amount of interest that you would have normally.
Once you have secured a loan with the lower interest rate, you can relax for the remaining tenure, as personal loans have fixed interest rates. A fixed EMI also gives you peace of mind as you do not have to constantly worry about the EMI amount fluctuating.
With a host of banks to choose from when it comes to a personal loan, the chances of you ending up with a loan with lower interest rates is pretty high. And the option of cheap and easy to repay personal loan means you can go ahead and book the tickets for your Europe trip and not cancel/postpone it like always.


I really love eBooks and I love a great deal even more! I am so excited to share with you the Spring Healthy Living E-Book Bundle. This bundle is full of real food and natural living books that can really change your life!
I haven't read all of the books included yet, but I do have them all and look forward to going through each of them. One of the books I am really excited about is The Eczema Cure by Emily Bartlett of Holistic Squid. I know so many people with eczema that the information in this book can help. I read it today and it is really incredible and thorough.
Another book I love in this bundle is Nourished Baby by Heather Dessinger of Mommypotamus. Anyone who is pregnant or has a new baby really needs to read this book. Knowing what to eat while pregnant and how to effectively nourish your baby from breastfeeding through solid foods is really important and Heather does an incredible job explaining all of it.
I am really looking forward to reading Get Your Fats Straight by Sarah Pope of The Healthy Home Economist. There are so many misconceptions about fat out there! Butter is not bad for you! Neither is lard, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, or bacon fat. This book will get to the bottom of what is good and what is not-so-good and really help you decipher what fats you need to be consuming.
These are just three of the thirty books offered in this bundle. Just these three books would be over $50 and you get these PLUS twenty-seven more for just $39! That's $1.50 per book! Makes me what to do cartwheels or something!
Hurry though. This deal only lasts for one week and expires on April 23rd.
Go buy it now! You will not be disappointed!

Q: jquery to validate phone number I want to validate phone numbers like (123) 456-7890 or 1234567890
 How should be the 'matches' condition be written in the following code?
form.validate({

    rules: {

       phoneNumber: {matches:"[0-9]+",minlength:10, maxlength:10}

A: If you normalize your data first, then you can avoid all the very complex regular expressions required to validate phone numbers. From my experience, complicated regex patterns can have two unwanted side effects: (1) they can have unexpected behavior that would be a pain to debug later, and (2) they can be slower than simpler regex patterns, which may become noticeable when you are executing regex in a loop.
By keeping your regular expressions as simple as possible, you reduce these risks and your code will be easier for others to follow, partly because it will be more predictable. To use your phone number example, first we can normalize the value by stripping out all non-digits like this:
value = $.trim(value).replace(/\D/g, '');
Now your regex pattern for a US phone number (or any other locale) can be much simpler:
/^1?\d{10}$/
Not only is the regular expression much simpler, it is also easier to follow what's going on: a value optionally leading with number one (US country code) followed by ten digits. If you want to format the validated value to make it look pretty, then you can use this slightly longer regex pattern:
/^1?(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})$/
This means an optional leading number one followed by three digits, another three digits, and ending with four digits. With each group of numbers memorized, you can output it any way you want. Here's a codepen using jQuery Validation to illustrate this for two locales (Singapore and US):
http://codepen.io/thdoan/pen/MaMqvZ

A: Your regex should be something like
[0-9\-\(\)\s]+.
It matches numbers, dashes, parentheses and space.
If you need something more strict, matching just your example, try this:
([0-9]{10})|(\([0-9]{3}\)\s+[0-9]{3}\-[0-9]{4})

A: Your code:
rules: {
    phoneNumber: {
        matches: "[0-9]+",  // <-- no such method called "matches"!
        minlength:10,
        maxlength:10
    }
}

There is no such callback function, option, method, or rule called matches anywhere within the jQuery Validate plugin.  (EDIT:  OP failed to mention that matches is his custom method.)
However, within the additional-methods.js file, there are several phone number validation methods you can use.  The one called phoneUS should satisfy your pattern.  Since the rule already validates the length, minlength and maxlength are redundantly unnecessary.  It's also much more comprehensive in that area codes and prefixes can not start with a 1.
rules: {
    phoneNumber: {
        phoneUS: true
    }
}

DEMO:  http://jsfiddle.net/eWhkv/

If, for whatever reason, you just need the regex for use in another method, you can take it from here...
jQuery.validator.addMethod("phoneUS", function(phone_number, element) {
    phone_number = phone_number.replace(/\s+/g, "");
    return this.optional(element) || phone_number.length > 9 &&
    phone_number.match(/^(\+?1-?)?(\([2-9]\d{2}\)|[2-9]\d{2})-?[2-9]\d{2}-?\d{4}$/);
}, "Please specify a valid phone number");

A: jQuery.validator.methods.matches = function( value, element, params ) {
    var re = new RegExp(params);
    // window.console.log(re);
    // window.console.log(value);
    // window.console.log(re.test( value ));
    return this.optional( element ) || re.test( value );
}

rules: {
        input_telf: {
            required  : true,
            matches   : "^(\\d|\\s)+$",
            minlength : 10,
            maxlength : 20
        }
    }

A: function validatePhone(txtPhone) {
    var a = document.getElementById(txtPhone).value;
    var filter = /^((\+[1-9]{1,4}[ \-]*)|(\([0-9]{2,3}\)[ \-]*)|([0-9]{2,4})[ \-]*)*?[0-9]{3,4}?[ \-]*[0-9]{3,4}?$/;
    if (filter.test(a)) {
        return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

Demo http://jsfiddle.net/dishantd/JLJMW/496/

A: /\(?([0-9]{3})\)?([ .-]?)([0-9]{3})\2([0-9]{4})/

Supports :

*

*(123) 456 7899

*(123).456.7899

*(123)-456-7899

*123-456-7899

*123 456 7899

*1234567899

A: I know this is an old post, but I thought I would share my solution to help others.
This function will work if you want to valid 10 digits phone number "US number"
function getValidNumber(value)
{
    value = $.trim(value).replace(/\D/g, '');

    if (value.substring(0, 1) == '1') {
        value = value.substring(1);
    }

    if (value.length == 10) {

        return value;
    }

    return false;
}

Here how to use this method
var num = getValidNumber('(123) 456-7890');
if(num !== false){
     alert('The valid number is: ' + num);
} else {
     alert('The number you passed is not a valid US phone number');
}

A: This one is work for me:-
/^\(?(\d{3})\)?[-\. ]?(\d{3})[-\. ]?(\d{4})$/

A: I tried the below solution and it work fine for me.
/\(?([0-9]{3})\)?([ .-]?)([0-9]{3})\2([0-9]{4})/

Tried below phone format:

*

*+(123) 456 7899

*(123) 456 7899

*(123).456.7899

*(123)-456-7899

*123-456-7899

*123 456 7899

*1234567899

When you look at the makeup of our local landscape, you can see the diversity we have all around us. This variance is even evident in our soils. Few people realize that to achieve the lush, green lawn of your dreams, it is often necessary to make corrections to the soil underneath it.
To most, the soil on our property is just dirt; nothing more, nothing less. But soil is made up of minerals, organic matter (living and dead), air and water. Your soil provides nutrients and serves as a foundation for your lawn. Improving your soil increases plant health and is critical to growing a lawn you can be proud of, and the whole neighborhood can envy.
Even within a small area, soil composition can vary greatly. The best way of figuring out the makeup of your home's soil is to have Distinctive Outdoor Spaces perform a soil test, collecting small samples from several different areas of your yard. This test is an analysis to determine nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level. Plant growth and vigor are often dependent on soil pH—the measurement of how acidic or alkaline the soil is.
After we collect these samples, they are sent to a lab where we receive a report citing levels such as pH, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and more.

If you have a computer that automatically backs up all changes, (using a program like "time machine" on Mac, or system restore points on windows computers) you might be able to restore an older version of your files. However, you should read about those programs, and be sure you know what you are doing before attempting to restore anything because you might delete newer files or cause other problems.
There are 3 ways to save a project file in Videoscribe. If you are worried that you might erase or overwrite your project files, you can save your project using the default method (save locally to your computer), then save the same project to the cloud folder (online) as a backup copy. You can also save your project as a .scribe file to any location you choose on your hard drive if you want to have an additional backup copy.


With an experimental workshop set amongst six acres of ancient woodland in Cornwall, Tom Raffield designs are synonymous with nature; each product is hand-shaped using sustainable wood and created as sculptural pieces of art using a pioneering form of steam bending.
Tom Raffield's new collection, The Green Range, continues to showcase the brand's signature curves yet, for the first time, marries traditional steam bending craftsmanship with the skilled art of ceramics. The result? A boldly unique collection of luxury, contemporary indoor planters that simultaneously summon nature inside and transform living space.
Stand outs of the new range, available exclusively from Tom Raffield, include the Merryn Floor Standing Planters, whose twisted blades of steam bent oak stand shoulder to shoulder in a spherical formation to support a sleek edged, hand glazed, ceramic planting bowl. Other key pieces include the versatile, Morvah Ceiling Hanging Planter and Morvah Wall Hanging Planter, which feature a single, solid oak steam bent strap designed to cradle a handmade earthenware bowl.
"A celebration of sustainable, biophilic design and traditional craftsmanship, The Green Range is born from the nature that inspires it" – Founder, Tom Raffield.
Signature, singular, strong. A steam bent piece of solid oak loops around and embraces a hand-glazed earthenware planter bowl creating a unique, ceiling hanging feature.
With elegance and versatility in abundance, extending this versatile design comes a wall hanging version. The Morvah planter is suspended from a gently arching wooden arm, steam bent from a solid piece of oak wood.
Sixteen elliptical blades of twisting steam bent oak stand shoulder to shoulder in striking spherical conduct to support a nestled, handmade earthenware bowl. A unique and eye-catchingly dynamic planter that is guaranteed to bring any space to life.


Several testers considered the Balega Silver the most comfortable socks to wear but found that comfort came with a slight tradeoff in wicking performance.
These fit snug through the middle of the foot and snug to tight in the toe, depending on the width of our testers' feet. These were the most-praised socks for their padding in the shoe and feel against the skin. Some testers said they were too warm in higher temps and that the fit tightened around the toes during middle-distance runs. Some also felt the extra toe box fabric felt slippery.
The extra loops of fabric underfoot and above the toe for cushioning eventually retained moisture.
The extra fabric and tough materials gave this the highest durability rating from our testers.
A look inside the Balega Silver shows off the plush footbed with ribbed compression.

What does the Quran say about Islam and other religions?
Islam and other religions
Islam is a monotheistic religion, believing in One God, and is grouped as part of the Abrahamic religions. The Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity and Islam, stemming from the descendants of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Prophet Ibrahim is considered the father of the Arabs, with Judaism and Christianity from lineage of Prophet Isaac (AS), and Islam from lineage of Prophet Ismail (AS), both sons of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). These monotheistic religions believe that divine revelations were indeed sent down from God, to guide mankind. The Torah came down to the people of Israel, through Prophet Musa (AS). The Bible came to Prophet Isa (AS), as guidance for his people.
These Holy Books had also foretold about the coming of a 'final prophet'. The Quran and Islam came, as a continuation to the divine revelations, and to complete it.
"˹They are the ones who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whose description they find in their Torah (Deut, xviii, 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16). He commands them to do good and forbids them from evil, permits for them what is lawful and forbids them what is impure, and relieves them from their burdens and the shackles that bound them. Only those who believe in him, honour and support him, and follow the light sent down to him will be successful." – (Quran 7:157)
The Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the month of Ramadan, around 609 CE in the Cave of Hira'. The revelations went on for 23 years, revealing stories about the past prophets, the proper guidance for mankind to conduct themselves and about the Hereafter.
Islam – The Final Chapter
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet, not just sent to Muslims, but to the whole of mankind. Acknowledging the past prophets, from Prophet Adam (AS) all the way to Prophet Isa (AS) means that Islam acknowledges that these prophets were sent by the same God, Allah, to guide mankind.
"Ramaḍan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the standard to distinguish between right and wrong." – (Quran 2:186)
Islam is a continuation of the teaching and preaching by the previous prophets, with the common message that there is only One God, and that man are to worship Him alone. Islam came to correct the belief of people of Makkah, who has gone astray. The messages also include rules and regulations, methods and prohibitions on how to become the best servants to Allah.
No compulsion
Islam believes that all man are created as a pure canvas, and that nature and the nurturing process of that person decides whether he or she will become a Muslim or will embrace other religions. However, there is no compulsion to force a person to embrace Islam, if they were brought up as a non-Muslim. This is highlighted in the Quran:
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error" (Quran 2:256) and (Quran 18:29)
Muslims are encouraged to spread the word of Allah, the truth, peace and wisdom of Islam. However, the one who controls the heart is Allah, and He chooses whom He pleases.
"Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided." (Quran 28:56)
Thus, we can only help to spread the divine message of Islam to others, but we cannot force them to embrace Islam upon our will, as Allah knows best what is in their hearts and their intentions.
Relationships with non-Muslim religions
There are many misrepresentations of Islam, whether in the media or outside them. The true teachings of Islam call for respect and tolerance between Muslims and non-Muslims in order, to create a cohesive society.
For this purpose the Quran teaches Muslims on how to interact with non-Muslims:
"O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may get to know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware." (Quran 49:13).
This verse talks about the different tribes and cultures Allah has created on earth, each with its own unique specialties. Thus, Islam encourages Muslims to interact with other members of the society and learning from them, as long as it does not go against the Islamic aqidah ( creed). This includes interacting with people from other religious backgrounds.
Spreading the words of Allah and inviting people to Islam is highly encouraged. However, there are manners which a Muslim must observe so as not to insult or invoke anger:
"Invite all to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and kind advice, and only debate with them in the best manner. Surely your Lord alone knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is rightly guided." (Quran 16:125)
Islam clearly teaches the Muslims not to insult other religions:
"O believers! Do not insult what they invoke besides Allah or they will insult Allah spitefully out of ignorance. This is how We have made each people's deeds appealing to them. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do." – (Quran 6:108)
To you is your God, and to mine is my God
Overall, Islam encourages Muslims to interact and cooperate with those of different beliefs. Allah created us, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. We all are the servants of Allah, whether we submit and worship Him, or are still finding our way back to Him. Muslims should not invoke hatred and anger of the non-Muslims, but rather to work together and bring out the best teachings of Islam through exemplary manners.
Even when facing those who refuse to believe in Allah, after all the information and proofs have been laid out to them, Islam still does not teach hatred. As Allah summed it up:
"Say, "O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."" (Quran 109:1-6)
This article is written by Nurul Zulaiha Abdul Rahim, a graduate from International Islamic University Malaysia, in Bach of Human Science (Comm).
You must be wondering for so long about the true teaching of Islam. Now that you're here, reading about Islam would surely worth your time.
We pray that you'd be granted with what you've been looking for all these while, through your inbox.

After two days of just getting only the start-page and then not displaying content but returning me to my app screen I have deleted this app.
I am using the Print Edition download on my iPad most of the time, despite the several-minute download and processing time on my 16G iPad 2. I like being able to scan the headlines on -every- page and download or expand the articles I'm interested in with a tap. (I download most, and expand only the short articles that are complete on one printed page.) I discovered that I was missing some articles and other things things not published in the "normal" app download. I consider that version to be "WP Lite" since it doesn't have every article in the hardcopy WP, and the Print Edition of the app is complete (including ads). I prefer reading the comics in the Print Edition, since I can easily expand the size of the page on my screen with my fingers so that one column of comics fits on the screen and I can sweep upland down to read everything. It's essentially the same comfortable reading experience as the old familiar hardcopy comics. The color of the "normal" download daily comics is nice, though. One big improvement I'd like to see: use the zip code of my account to download my local edition (Southern MD) version of the Local Living section. This could eventually be extended to include more Southern Maryland stories in my download of the Metro section every day. I'm usually not too interested in the DC and Northern VA articles in Metro. That's a fault of the hardcopy that can't be corrected and would be a great feature in the app. I'm a dual-subscriber and intend to keep my hard-copy subscription, but I find that I'm reading the WP on my iPad most of the time now that I've learned how to use the Print Edition. The Print Edition app crossword is fun, too. Sudoku next, please?
Per Wash Post Help, you have to remove old version and data and then re-install 2.2.0 from the store. Crazy but it works!
I recently purchased the digital subscription. To the WP so that I could read the paper on my ipad. The subscription is expensive but the convenience of the ipad app won me over. The problem is that the app doesn't work consistently and can't be relied on to deliver. If it is not fixed very soon I will be canceling my subscription. What a disappointment!
I too cannot get beyond the Monument photo, thus locking me out of my paid subscription. Doesn't seem to be any link to a webmaster/guru to communicate this problem to anyone at the Post. Do we just have to hope that they discover this themselves sooner or later? I'm thinkin' that having Jeff Bezos and his tech-savvy army as the new owners/operators of the Post will be a good thing.
Update crashes! Don't do it!
The latest update crashes! What's up? If you're going to charge me $15 a month for this paper you'd better make sure it works!


Located in the East Crossroads Arts District, our newly renovated office space is part of a unique and growing area of Kansas City. We have 5 conference rooms with the largest seating up to 30 with videoconferencing capabilities.
Click below to download a PDF for more information about our Kansas City, Missouri location.
The Alaris Kansas City office is located in the Crossroads neighborhood community. This neighborhood began from the City's history of "Film Row" and after several galleries opened in the area during the 1980s, the name Crossroads Arts District was formed. The opening of galleries for late evening viewings with entertainment on the first Friday of every month began in 1995. Later, companies with contemporary office spaces, restaurants and modern event venues joined in participation with First Fridays. All promoting primarily local artists works and some nationally recognized artists. Alaris began participating after our move to the location in 2017. We connect with the entire legal community by promoting local artists' works in our office and have been fortunate to promote lawyers who are also artists as well. Click here to learn more about First Fridays.
Each qualifying artist will be given the opportunity to showcase their work in our gallery including First Friday events. See below for series topics options. Please contact Leda Gipson for more information: lgipson@alaris.us or 816-799-1903.

Come by Zak Surfboards during store hours to organise your repair with our staff.
We offer a comprehensive repair service for all different types of surfcraft and fiberglass. For all of our repairs, we use only the highest quality, high strength/lightweight materials available. Our repairs are done with the finest clear resins on the market, ensuring quality ding repairs. Our aim is to keep your board the same weight if possible and restore its overall strength.
- Clean all of the areas of your board.
- Scrub off sand and dirt.
- Remove tape, wax & any other sticky substances you have on the board.
- Remove your leash & take off your fins.
If boards are surfed with cracks in them, or open dings/holes, they will get water-logged – increasing the boards weight, reducing flotation and eventually leading to de-lamination (separation of the fiberglass from the foam core).
Please do NOT use wax for a temporary fix on your cracks & dings. Wax "gums up" the ding and creates excess mess for the repair. Duct tape is a temporary "fix" on small dings and is far from 100% watertight. Solarez and Quick Fix products, essentially are only a quick fix and will eventually deteriorate, flake and crack. It is best to get your board professionally repaired with professional repair techniques.
We can very closely match most colors of your board. Due to variances in paint techniques, we cannot guarantee a perfect match every time – but 9/10 times we come very close. Color matching starts at $20.
We are specialist in polyester (older style), Epoxy/EPS constructions (like Firewire, Slater Designs & Hayden shapes), soft fabrics and plastics. Quotes are only firm after the ding has been inspected by either our staff or one of our repairers.
We can accommodate you in your time of need. Leaving on a trip? Need your magic board fixed for a contest? We have a 2 day rush option for an additional charge. If you have an extremely urgent repair – next day service is usually possible. Call 0438 416 738 for full details.
We offer a 30 day repair warranty. The repair starts on the date of the pick-up and ends on the 30th day after the pick-up. This warranty is subject to the area's repaired during normal use only. The repair warranty is applicable on all repairs unless verbally noted but is subject to Melbourne Board Repairs discretion. The repair will be redone if the warranty is exercised.
Our work is guaranteed and is of the highest standard. Most repairs are completed in between 3 – 5 days, but a 24-hour turn-a-round service is also available by arrangement. We also offer insurance repairs and can restore that old classic that's been sitting in the shed for years. Our restorations are done by some of the most skilled craftsmen in Victoria. Restoring old classics is an art form and needs an investment if time and tender loving care.
