A wonderful picture has been given as a prompt to write on.
Footprints on Sand Dune. Picture by "Iquanyin Moon"
Is it magnifying the character of the person?
Just like a message carrying white dove.
Is a sin according to me.
As Science has advanced we have come to know various miracles happening in and around our Universe. We think our Sun is the biggest star, but unlike our belief its very small star in the Universe. There are stars which are 100 no 1000 times bigger than our Sun. We can't imagine what will be there size. But there is one small Hole which is known as Black hole which can eat up Whole stars.
Moral: Not every small thing is small enough to suppress. That small thing can have the power to devastate the biggest of big things. This is what our Spiritual Masters and Indian Sages have mentioned in their scriptures. Always be humble and small but keep the capacity to turn the whole Universe on your own.
"It is there, you just need to have my vision.
You see there? That right hand corner? There is that pendant she liked very much in that shop. You see that? You won't because you don't love her.
You see that window above? There she used to stand for hours, just to see me passing by. A minute of glimpse was enough reason for her to stand there like forever.
You see that dome? She so wanted to climb that dome and look around the city for its beauty. But what she didn't understand was that dome was not having any stairs, but she still wanted to go there like a crazy little baby.
"You just shut up and stop denying her existence".
All along, with hands inside the gloves were taking rest, head and eyes were covered with the hat. But inside that hat, two brains were fighting with each other. The left was denying her existence and the right was being too optimistic. Soon the head will come out of its exile and hands off the gloves and soon the painting session will start. Soon some paintings, like those in the other room, will follow and will keep on giving the subject to two brains to fight on.
And he asked her to just scooch.

What lies beneath: Victoria's alps are getting bigger
Panoramic view from Mt Buffalo towards the Victorian Alpine valley
by Georgina Jerums | 18 Nov 2019 Print	Mail
They're both pristine and green, yet the alps of Victoria and New Zealand have more in common than you may think. New research confirms the Victorian Alps are still rising, and that this is due to New Zealand.
An 18-month seismic survey delving 60 kilometres vertically into the Earth's crust reveals some surprises about the 629 kilometres of mountain ranges stretching from Benalla in Victoria to Eden in New South Wales.
Using the latest seismic technology to study ground beneath private and public roads around Benalla, Myrtleford, Eskdale, Tom Groggin, Benambra, Wulgulmerang, Tubbut, Bonang and Bendoc, it confirms that the uplift of our ranges is due to an ongoing tectonic plate boundary collision in New Zealand. Every year, New Zealand's alps are being pushed up by around 12 mm – very fast by the world standards – and as a side-effect of this, Victoria's Alps are rising by about 0.1 mm.
"Continent is running into continent at a few centimetres per year in New Zealand," says geologist Ross Cayley from the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV), the Victorian Government's geoscience agency. "This collision causes stress in the New Zealand rocks, and that propagates west all the way into South East Australia: enough to push up some of our mountain ranges."
The practical insights from this finding are many.
First off, it allows us to be more predictive about earthquake threats in Victoria and this, in turn, allows for better planning of infrastructure such as dam walls and power stations, and for developing better management plans for existing infrastructure. That's significant as damaging earthquakes of up to nearly magnitude-6.0 have hit Victoria since European settlement, including the Moe earthquake in 2012. "The research can work out which regions of Eastern Victoria lie above and below major tilted faults, and so better estimate potential earthquake risk from these structures should they reactivate," says Ross.
Mineral exploration may also be given a leg up, Ross adds. "This might help refine geological connections between states: for instance, testing whether regions prospective for minerals in New South Wales may extend into Victoria."
While the new data can't pinpoint the exact location of a mineral deposit, it may direct geologists to the 'right district' where exploration success for a given commodity is possible, even if that location is nowhere near the actual seismic survey data location. Relevant mineral deposits include gold, copper and new-technology metals like lithium and 'rare earths.' Victoria's bedrock is too old for coal and has been heated too high in ancient times for oil or gas.
The outcome of the new research, says Ross, is that the potential efficiency of mineral exploration might be massively improved via geological insights, meaning less money wasted on exploration and less landowners impacted directly.
Farming productivity and environmental management are other areas that could be helped by the new data, as soil chemistry, landforms, water access, erosion and salinity are all related to the rocks beneath.
As these examples illustrate, geology's insights are broad and ongoing. Access to up-to-date geological information enables the State Government and other agencies to make estimations of geological risks that need management and investigate potential geological opportunities that may create wealth.
Ross delves further into the wealth and geology link. "Much of Australia's current and historic economic wealth is derived from the proceeds of mining: Melbourne was built on the wealth of the gold rushes, as was nearly every inland Victorian town, and the proceeds of mining still underpins Victoria's wealth today," he says. "All the resources we use: smartphones, water pipes, solar panels, wind turbines, cars, trains, roads, house roofing, nails, screws, bricks, glass, plastic, rail, wiring – come from material extracted from the earth. Victoria's groundwater that all farmers rely upon to grow our food comes from geology, too. And this isn't going to change any time soon, unless and until we can find another planet to harvest resources. With better understanding of geology comes the opportunity to do earth resource exploration and extraction and planning more efficiently and hopefully with lower environmental and social impacts."
While these insights are clearly far-reaching, what's interesting is that geology is a relatively young science. Medicine and astronomy have been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, yet geology only hit its straps in the 1960s with the development of Plate Tectonic Theory. "Since then," says Ross, "geologists have become much better at establishing the age of rocks and at remote-sensing buried rocks – called geophysics. Geophysical surveys and the use of computers to image and interpret that data, and model how the Earth can behave, has been a modern breakthrough. It's an exciting time to be a geologist. It's also cool that modern Global Positioning Systems can map continents drifting at centimetres per year in real time – it's proved Plate Tectonic Theory.
"By understanding how geology has formed in the past, and by tracking what's happening today (including continent drift-rates as measured by GPS), we can run the geological clock forward and imagine Australia in its future. Since Australia is currently drifting north at about seven centimetres per year, every year, we're going to get much better acquainted with East-Asia, for a start."
Also, we might become better acquainted with New Zealand as Australian geologists and geologists across the ditch may collaborate on future projects. "Like Australia, New Zealand was once a part of the supercontinent Gondwana 500 to 100 million years ago when most of the bedrock geology of Eastern Australia and New Zealand was formed by plate tectonics," says Ross. "Although separated today, there's commonality between Victoria's and New Zealand's (particularly South Island's) geology. We share our understanding of Victoria's geological evolution in aeons past with New Zealand geologists, in the hope that they might use it to better understand their own geology. And vice-versa. It's a rising tide that lifts all ships."

In 2018, we honored men advancing the legacy of change in Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Education and in Philanthropy.
Professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o
The Lifetime Honoree: Distinguished author legendary professor Ngugi Wa Thiong'o
Born in Kenya, Prof Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o,is a distinguished author, and professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California. The year 1977 forced dramatic turns in Ngũgĩ's life and career. His first novel in ten years, Petals of Blood, was published in July of that year. Sharply critical of the inequalities and injustices of Kenyan society, publicly identified with unequivocally championing the cause of ordinary Kenyans, and committed to communicating with them in the languages of their daily lives, Prof Ngũgĩ was arrested and imprisoned without charge at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison at the end of the year, December 31, 1977. An account of those experiences is to be found in his memoir, Detained: A Writer's Prison Diary (1982). It was at Kamiti Maximum Prison that Ngũgĩ made the decision to abandon English as his primary language of creative writing and committed himself to writing in Gikuyu, his mother tongue. In prison, and following that decision, he wrote, on toilet paper, the novel, Caitani Mutharabaini (1981) translated into English as Devil on the Cross (1982). After Amnesty International named him a Prisoner of Conscience, an international campaign secured his release a year later, December 1978. However, the Moi dictatorship barred him from jobs at colleges and university in the country. He resumed his writing and his activities in the theater. While Prof Ngũgĩ was in Britain for the launch and promotion of Devil on the Cross, he learned about the Moi regime's plot to eliminate him on his return, or as coded, give a red carpet welcome on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta Airport. This forced him into exile, first in Britain (1982 –1989), and then the U.S. after (1989-2002), during which time, the Moi dictatorship hounded him trying, unsuccessfully, to get him expelled from London and from other countries he visited. In exile, Prof Ngũgĩ worked with the London based Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners in Kenya (1982-1998), which championed the cause of democratic and human rights in Kenya. Prof Ngũgĩ has continued to write prolifically, publishing, in 2006, what some have described as his crowning achievement, Wizard of the Crow, an English translation of the Gikuyu language novel, Murogi wa Kagogo. Ngũgĩ's books have been translated into more than thirty languages and they continue to be the subject of books, critical monographs, and dissertations. He has also continued to speak around the world at numerous universities and as a distinguished speaker. He is recipient of many honors. Former President Barack Obama has named him as one of his best African writers. To learn more please visir his website https://ngugiwathiongo.com/about/

Aqua-Fit Phase II
Council gave its unanimous approval of the final draft of the Aqua-Fit Phase II project at the regular meeting on Tuesday night, Sept. 11, allowing the project to move forward to construction.
Council approved a $1 million contingency to be drawn from the Mill Rate Stabilization Fund for construction, as well as the construction phasing plan outlined in the project report.
Council voted 6-1 in favour of changing the Aqua-Fit centre's name to Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre/centre sportif et de loisirs Beaumont. Coun. Munckhof-Swain was not in favour.
The project details the expansion and modernization of the current Aqua-Fit centre, including construction of an indoor fieldhouse, NHL-sized ice surface, a gymnasium, climbing wall and second floor running track. The cost of the project comes in at $29.5 million, and will take an estimated 20 months to complete.
Leduc County will contribute $2.4 million to the cost of the project, including up to $120,000 per year in operation costs over the first 20 years of the life of the facility.
Construction will be completed in phases to allow regular operations to continue and to minimize disturbance at the Aqua-Fit pool. Construction will begin in October 2018 and is scheduled to be complete in July 2020.
The swimming pool will be temporarily closed from January 2020 to July 2020. The temporary dog park will also be relocated during construction until a permanent location can be found.
Council deferred the decision to adopt the newly drafted Community Grants Program Policy C15.1, which would replace the current Grants, Donations and Funding Policy C15.
The new policy establishes the responsibilities of council, administration and the new Grant Funding Advisory committee to review and assess all grant requests submitted by community groups.
All grant requests would be reviewed based on ranking criteria and eligibility to streamline the process and aid council decisions.
After some discussion on whether to cap grant requests from community groups at $10,000 per year, council voted to defer the decision to allow for further discussion during the Committee of the Whole meeting.
Council unanimously approved first reading to the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw 929-18 on Tuesday night. The proposed bylaw would prohibit the consumption of cannabis in all public spaces in Beaumont. Consumption, including smoking, vaping and edibles, would be permitted in a private residence. Exceptions would be included for consumption of cannabis for medical purposes, as outlined in the Smoke-Free Public Places bylaw.
Prior to adoption of the bylaw, residents will have the opportunity to voice their support or opposition to the bylaw at a public hearing in council chambers.
Elan neighbourhood structure plan
During a public hearing for Bylaw 926-18 to adopt the Elan Neighbourhood Structure Plan, council reviewed a presentation on the proposed plan for the annexed land west of Beaumont.
Council unanimously approved second and third reading of Bylaw 926-18 and adopted the proposed plan.
The ENSP supports community needs and increased commercial development for Beaumont with mixed-use commercial areas, an urban village and residential areas. It also includes a new school site. The plan emphasizes pedestrian-friendly areas and all season activities in the neighbourhood.

Stop the poison, UK's Frost tells EU over post-Brexit deal
By Catarina Demony

Frost brings Brexit argument to Lisbon
Calls on EU to draw the poison from ties
Says will consider EU proposals, but might not work
LISBON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - British Brexit minister David Frost made an impassioned plea to the European Union on Tuesday to allow for "significant change" to post-Brexit rules governing trade with Northern Ireland, saying only that could draw the poison from their relations.
A day before the EU is expected to present its proposals to solve a standoff over part of the Brexit divorce deal, Frost again warned Brussels London could unilaterally waive some of the terms of its agreement if the bloc failed to budge.
In a speech that was part explanation of Britain's 2016 vote to leave the EU and part accusation that Brussels was all but purposefully trying to further complicate relations, Frost again appealed for resolution to a problem that has run for months.
"In short, let's try to get back to normal," he told an audience of EU diplomats and reporters in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
"With some effort of will, we could still, despite all the problems, be in a position where the poison is drawn from this issue entirely and it is removed from the diplomatic top table once and for all."
The European Commission has said it will not comment immediately on Frost's speech before it outlines its proposals.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson signed up to the so-called Northern Ireland protocol as part of his Brexit agreement in 2020, but has since argued it was agreed in haste and was no longer working for the people of Northern Ireland.
Frost has for months called on the EU to allow some changes to the protocol to ease trade in some goods between Britain and Northern Ireland, but on Tuesday he stepped up the pressure, trying to both coax and threaten Brussels to offer that on Wednesday.
The EU is expected to unveil its package in answer to a set of proposals Britain presented in July, which outlined London's desire to rework parts of the protocol governing trade and the role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Asked about the package of proposals, Frost said: "What we hear about it is ... interesting, we'll talk about it even though I fear it may not do the job first round."
Britain hopes a short period of intensive talks could solve the problems but the EU has repeatedly said it will not renegotiate the protocol and has criticised Britain for reneging on an agreement that both sides signed in good faith.
On Monday, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said Britain knew full well Brussels could not move on the ECJ. "At some point the EU will say enough, we cannot compromise more and I think we're very close to that point now," he said.
But Frost again said the protocol was causing unforeseen friction for some goods and was raising fears about the delicate peace in Northern Ireland, particularly to the Good Friday Agreement which ended decades of violence between mostly Catholic nationalists and Protestant unionists, or loyalists.
"For the EU now to say that the protocol -- drawn up in extreme haste in a time of great uncertainty -- can never be improved upon ... would be a historic misjudgement," he said.
"So I repeat, to conclude- let us both be ambitious and agree a better way forward."
