That's tragic. Found that last line particularly sad, "keep doing the right thing... wearing face masks and hopefully I'll speak to you in the new year". It boggles my mind that nearly a y
The improving diversity bit seems inverted because we're destroying diversity.
It's totally supremacist because it frames Christians as the bad guy in a way. The guy behind it is called Robert C. Christian, but it's usually written as R.C. Christian. It's like it's trying to subliminally say Roman Catholic & Christian.

Not all "fools" are as they seem..there are those that are guided by something Greater... like Jesus for example. Any arguement is fruitless, open discussion is fruitful., because "right" and "wrong" are limited and restricting concepts that the ego loves to play with, just pointing the finger at another version of itself(fake self) is just a distraction from Truth...

The ones attempting to run this world want to eliminate The Fool. They can't control it. They fear it. It's unpredictable. Creative. Unbound by matrix-prescribed belifs and assumptions. The don't know what it is, but sense a threat. The Fool is Neo, Christ, Jesus, and it is an expression of True Self within us All.

I think identifying 'they' and not making an enigma out of what 'they' dont like may help. I shall await your greater enlightenment Novymir. The True Self minus any named expression is likely the nemesis of 'they', perhaps.

I'm nothing special.( then again, we're all equally special) ..I'm just able to access that which many of us has been virtually disconnected from.

Where did it all begin? With a fake pandemic. Where will it end? In the Great Reset. How convenient!
A 'green recovery' that will supposedly kill two birds with one stone, Covid and Climate Change, but will also kill millions of impoverished people through deprivation and hunger. No matter, we will have saved that polar bear, balancing on a patch of melting ice... although they can swim.
No more needless animal husbandry, they cry, except for the one million sharks slaughtered each year, to harvest their oil for squalene, the adjuvant in vaccines which causes allergies and your immune system to attack, and never mind the animals tortured in labs for genetic experiments.
Frankenscience, developed as a means to enslave the human race, mentally, physically and spiritually, but presented as miraculous, a technological 'breakthrough' to enhance and improve living and convenience. That is, surveillance and control. Our 'green' furture, makes me sick!

Occassional rant is ok but complaining is a waste of your time or energy as it brings your vibration down. Instead use it for something that brings joy into your life. Have your steps in place and you'll be more than OK.

Nope, Lennon was not one of them. Certain elements like to attack him, usually religionists and the establishment. They like to say he was a marxist/communist...with the obvious examples of USSR and China associated with that. I say; the marxist term "communism" is a hijacking of an idea that is inverted to serve the purpose of the supremacist cult that has been accumulating the means of global power, influence, and control to implement a system of dominance by the satanic superpredators/superparasites AKA Synogogue of satan( deniers of Truth).
Lennon was more of a Jesus dude that those hypocrites attacking him.
Crowley is also not quite as the demonizers paint him either.
They very much like to limit thought processes, the available reasoning and understanding, true intuition,, because with extraordinary reasoning and understanding certain conclusions can be reached that threatens them in a big way.
They LOVE to manipulate people. The HYPOCRITES love to point the finger at the flaws of those that just might have something that threatens them, they LOVE it when people throw the baby out with the bathwater.
"Let he who has no sin cast the 1st stone".
They used the word "communism" the same as the name "Black Lives Matter". It's a mind-fuck.
What Lennon was talking about has nothing to do with murderous totallitarianism. They are doing what they always do...lying. Just like the "be safe" mantra now, or the implied idea that these liars that hatched this "pandemic" fraud and are responsible for all the so-called "be safe" "we care" garbage propagated actually do see us as equally valuable and worthy of respect and freedom.
They are always trying to control by polarizing people that are freethinking and independant, not caught up in some herd or ideology constructed and controlled by them( political parties is obvious), and labeling them such and such label that is seen as attached/associated to something "evil" or evidently "bad".
It's like where I'm at, locally, being a rejector of the "official" story, denying the existence of the "virus" is most times automatically assumed that I'm attached to a "far-right" political grouping, and that I'm a Trump supporter attached to the "Republican" party politics. When in fact I support Trump from a nuetral zone with conditions and limitations(without illusions), while I am strongly and potentially violently opposed to the leftist dictators that are actually in the process of reducing my freedom of movement and freedom of action right here where I live.
Lennon was basically singing about The Real World. That's not this world, attempts to make this world that won't work( whether he knew that or not), this world is based on untruth. Discarding the lies, accepting The Truth will lead to this world fading out and being replaced with The Real. It's inevitable.
Basically as individuals if we don't like what we're seeing and experiencing, we can't force others to accept Truth, we can only make an honest effort to change our own state of mind and practice the principles of Truth.
The Great Reset. We should hijack the term. Why should they get exclusive rights to it? Yes, I want a Great Reset... one where Bill Gates and his criminal gang are imprisoned for the rest of their lives; where Police who abuse the rights of innocent citizens are tried for treason; etc etc. By all means, yes, let's have a Great Reset – just not the bloody one THEY are hoping for!

What Lennon are we talking about? The man seemed to go through many phases. The early Beatles were pushing mindless fornication to the teenyboppers, then once they were hooked on Beatlemania they slowly started to drip feed the drugs. The Brits imported that stuff to the world too. Obviously they wasn't as subversive as musicians are now, but destroying the fabric of society couldn't happen overnight.
Whether Lennon understood the bigger agenda that he was involved with I don't know, but he must have been suspicious about the aristocracy and the military using him.
I wonder what he would make of being a posterboy for the ADL.

The Davos Agenda
25—29 January 2021
The Davos Agenda is a pioneering mobilization of global leaders to shape the principles, policies and partnerships needed in this challenging new context. It is essential for leaders from all walks of life to work together virtually for a more inclusive, cohesive and sustainable future as soon as possible in 2021. To this end, the World Economic Forum has served for more than 50 years as a trusted platform where leaders from business, government, international organizations, civil society and academia convene to address critical issues at the start of each year.
An entire week of global programming will be dedicated to helping leaders choose innovative and bold solutions to stem the pandemic and drive a robust recovery over the next year.
The Davos Agenda will also mark the launch of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset Initiative and begin the preparation of the Special Annual Meeting in the spring. Each day will focus on one of the five domains of the Great Reset Initiative:

For me I think Trump was their perfect candidate. As a result of his election you now have extremely polarised views in America and across a lot of the western world. Everyone against each other. Family against family, friend against friend.
Plus the whole fake news thing which he popularised has enabled governments and media to steer the agenda for the sheep perfectly. Now anything which does not follow the necessary narrative can be instantly and unquestionably dismissed out of hand.
Great for the great reset as well.
Also made anyone with an alternate point of view public enemy number one. Just look at Woke brigade and far left cancelling everything that does not comply. IMO Trump was and turned out to be their dream president
Interesting points but I really dont think Trump wanted a polarised country. I think he'd love nothing more than to have the majority of the USA behind him, the way Putin does in Russia. In some ways, his flaw has been to not bend to the left at all - a few tweaks here and there and he might have been less abhorrent to them. Even if he had though, the media would not have reported it. Ive been watching both sides and the lack of any kind of balance regarding his presidency from the left wing media has been quite a revelation. Nothing about the economy, bringing business back to the USA and helping blue collar workers (surely something the left should be pleased about?), the lack of warmongering (ditto), the striving for peace deals in the Middle East (ditto). It appears the "left" doesnt care about such things after all. A lot of the division has come from the media, divide and rule, age old tactic, especially over the race issue. If they had a modicum of decency they could have brought people together, rather than constantly emphasising our differences in their politically correct agenda. And now they conveniently speak of unity. Drawing attention to them as Fake News has been a huge part of the awakening imo. The most alarming thing has been just how much power bought and paid for journalists have over an election which should have been far more fairly and democratically presented. This is what should be discussed by legal representatives, rather than just the alleged fraud at the ballots. Otherwise, whats the point of ever voting again? Which is probably exactly what they want with their new Reset. No place for democracy, it would seem.

All of us want to trim down and remain there. Ladies want to have the perfect waist and midriff and men want to have six packs. An entire industry has mushroomed towards this end. There are machines, lotions, clothes, tablets, supplements and neutraceuticals. In addition there are therapies and clinics which do various kinds of therapies and surgeries.
Most of these land up having side effects or have no effects even after paying large sums of money. Some of these products and therapies cause imbalances in the body. Many others cause instant water loss so that we feel there has been some reduction. Nothing really happens to the body. In fact many such supplements are very harmful.
Myth 1 – Crunches, Sit-ups, leg raises and similar exercises help reduce tummy fat.
The fitness and gym industry has also got into this act in a big way. Their solution is sit-ups, crunches, leg raises and similar other abdominal exercises. Gym trainers propagate myths like 'core strength' through abdominal exercises and doing multiple crunches or leg raises with cardiovascular exercises. As a result we see men and women in all age groups struggling with these on the floor, machines or bars. Surprisingly for them, there is no impact in their waist fat, belly fat or gut. They remain the way they are in most cases.
Myth 2- Side bends, with rods, dumbbells or cable bends, helps reduce love handles.
This is another set of useless exercises we see people doing. Taking a rod or dumbbells and twisting or doing side bends. Some also use cables and pulleys and keep adding weights thinking the more you do the better it is. These exercises do nothing for you except strengthen the tiny oblique muscles on the sides. In fact, more than ninety percent of all trainers teach this wrong. There is definitely no impact on waist fat. On the contrary, you start damaging your back. These are also recommended in conjunction with sit-ups and crunches thinking they will reduce waist fat. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Myth 3 – We feel good when we do these exercises and seem to lose fat.
When we do these exercises for a month or so, we may feel a slight reduction in the waist because the muscles tighten and tone up. This happens because we have not used them properly before. So they will firm up and 'pull in' giving a tightening effect and also maybe reducing your waist by a maximum of half or one inch. Beyond that nothing else happens. Nor is this process continuous. The toned or flat abs are due to absence of fat and have hardly anything to do with these exercises. An overall increase in muscles and lean mass helps reduce fat across the body. This reflects on the waist area as well.
Myth 4 – Abdominal exercises are generally food for core strength and fat removal.
It is a mistaken belief that crunches and other abdominal exercises are good for either removing abdominal fat or for building core strength. These do not help either goal. In fact, the reverse is true. All these exercises can actually harm you. Doing too many crunches or abdominal exercises are not good for you. Body fat does not reduce by doing abdominal exercises but it reduces by an appropriate diet and exercise plan. Even persons who do no crunches at all can have a flat stomach.
Doing crunches, leg raises and other exercises will gradually impact your lower back leading to lower back problems and injuries. Many times, these manifest even after your fifties.
So the next logical question to ask is, 'what do we do for fat reduction and improving core strength'? The answer is very simple. All physical exercises done correctly will keep your core healthy. Even moderate leg exercises work out the abdominal muscles. A regular and disciplined walking program will keep your core strong and healthy. You need not do complicated exercises which will harm your back and can cause digestion related problems.
The best way to greatly develop and maintain powerful core muscles is to practice asanas. If you focus for the initial few months on standing asanas, these will help take off unwanted fat and make your core very strong. There are zero side effects and only long term strength and longevity. Of course, you have to make sure that you eat correctly and lead a disciplined lifestyle.
Take our online yoga fitness programs in two levels. You will develop core strength and good health which you will not get by working out or even playing sports for two hours at a gym.

RIPE: This is a weird game, y'all
Posted in Tabletop on Design, Ripe
With the conclusion of Tempered Legacy and Marsh Goons I've taken a little break. Don't worry, I kept busy!
updated the Stygian generator
made a weird jenga-ish game
played some UVG with Troika
drank fancy tea
and continue to work on RIPE
What's the deal with RIPE?
RIPE is a game about Elder Adventurers fighting cosmic horrors.
This is the first game I've developed publicly. You can actually see ALL the previous versions of the game in this folder.
And it looks like it's gonna be while before RIPE is done. I want to take my time with it, make sure it's something I can be proud of. I don't have any "big" games yet, so this is my chance.
I am gonna go over some of the big design changes, my goals, and my worries. Let's dive in!
Photo by Laurie-Anne Robert on Unsplash
Didn't we already do this?
Yup, a few months ago! I feel no shame. It's my blog, and writing indulgent introspection helps me think.
Previous Design Goals
Every decision matters. Provide the players with several opposing choices and tasks to accomplish.
This remains the primary focus of RIPE; what all the other mechanics and ideas revolve around. This is also resulted in a game that's MOSTLY about resource management.
Time and Energy are limited. This drives the above point; characters don't have the resources to do EVERYTHING they want to do. They must pick and choose.
I abandoned the time limitation. RIPE used to have a very strict turn structure that ended up not being much fun in practice and felt too limited. So now time-keeping is less strict, but energy and resources are still limited.
Creative Teamwork is the most effective solution.
Since Elders can pool their rolls together, this is even more important than before, and has become a much larger part of the game that I am eager to explore further. In the current rules (Beta 22) teamwork is REQUIRED for some of the bigger tasks.
Empower the fantasy of growing older and more experienced.
So far players have really enjoyed playing as older characters! It's been fun to give players interesting tools to bring their character to life. Elder bards are the best bards!

Core rules are compact. The character sheet teaches the game.
This remains true; in fact I hope the character sheet will also explain all the rules and concepts of the game. Fingers crossed!
Worldbuilding through random tables/generators.
This…has not been as big of a focus lately. I am unsure if I want to pursue random tables or put more work into designing more complete adventures/content. We'll see.
Elders always have initiative.
Actually…let's talk about this concept in more detail.
Initiative in More Detail
Tabletop gamers LOOOOOVE to talk about initiative. They usually mean "Who goes next during combat?" but the core concern is really "When does my character get to be in control?"
And the answer for RIPE is…always? D&D is about DRAINING the resources of the players to create a sense of urgency and danger. But RIPE is supposed to be about players CHOOSING how to spend those resources. This has some weird side effects…
No saves. If a player is saving up their energy for the big boss, I can't just throw fire traps in their face and say "roll your dice". If there is a fire trap, players need to be able to say "Whatever, I need to save my energy. I take the hit."
And somehow I need to find a way to make that decision matter; no matter which one they choose.
Photo by Adam Wilson on Unsplash
Choose Your Consequences. Let's say a player decides to save their energy and take a fire trap to the face. What happens?
If the obvious thing happens (horrible burns over their body) then it's not really a decision. Spend resources or die. That's not an interesting choice.
If the consequence is mechanical (they lose resources) then they're choosing between:
Losing resources.
Spending resources to reduce the chance that they'll lose resources. (Numenera does this and it drove my players crazy when they spend points only to roll badly and lose even MORE points)
If there is no consequence at all, then the fire trap doesn't matter, and that's not a choice at all.
My current solution is that player chooses their consequences (in an indirect way) by Marking Numbers. It's explained better on the sheet, but so far this has worked well.
Known Consequences. Players choosing their own consequences works fine for something like a fire trap, but what about narrative dangers? How do we handle those in RIPE?
"A dragon swoops down over the town, breathing fire and causing destruction."
The first and most important thing is that players understand the consequences of failure. If the dragon is just scaring the townsfolk and then flying away, then it might still be worth SOME resources, but not all. But if the dragon is going to destroy their favorite tavern, then players might be willing to risk a lot more.
Unlike other games where consequences are kind of vague, RIPE always describes the consequences of dangers in order for players to make an informed decision.
This is just another aspect of giving players the initiative.
This is a weird game y'all
A lot of these concepts rub against traditional RPG frameworks. The group almost never "rolls to see what happens" but rather is offered a stream of difficult choices to make.
I'm still exploring this design space, but it may be that RIPE is better suited to a board-game with RPG elements, or a solo "choose your own adventure" kind of experience.
For now, I'm still trying to make RIPE work as a traditional RPG with a game master and several players running through an adventure.
But who knows where things will go? These design constraints have forced me to try some weird ideas that are still very rough and disjointed. I'm more excited than anyone to see them come together…or fail miserably!
I just like this image.
So far I've been running RIPE using traditional D&D adventures (UVG and Neverland). And I'm starting to wonder if RIPE would shine brighter in a custom built setting/framework.
While the rules will no doubt change in small ways, I intend to shift my focus on writing adventures specifically for RIPE. Maybe that will help me solve some of these awkward bits.
If you have any suggestions or ideas, leave them in the comments below! If you're curious about the game you can grab the latest version of the rules here.
Thanks for reading, and for sticking with me on this wild adventure. Join my newsletter for updates and such!

Marx investigated and analysed the process of 'globalisation'. Though he never used the term 'globalisation' per say of capital yet the underlying meaning is clearly discernable in the Marxian term 'world market' and 'foreign trade'. Both of them, being liberally used in the extant text of Marx (and of course also Engels). For Marx 'capitalism' represented a specific mode of production characterised by the separation of producer (i.e. the workers) from the means of production, based on wage, labour and capital.
....labour is the workers own life activity, the manifestation of his own life. And this life activity he sells to another person in order to secure the necessary means of subsistence.
(Karl Marx and Fredric Engels; Communist Manifesto (CM), SW 1, Pg 111).
Unlike earlier mode of production, the Capitalist Mode of Production takes the form of commodity. Labour subsumes under capital, and every occupation become a "paid wage labour" (Marx and Engels, Communist Manifesto, Pg 111) to the bourgeoisie.
Here it is important to understand how the Capitalist Mode of Production differs from all the other historic modes of production that it succeeded.
Where as in all the pre-Capitalist Mode of Production, the society was driven by need, CMP replaced it with exchange. To elaborate, a product in the pre Capitalist society was in demand for its value of utilization (or need) by the consumers, it is diametrically different case in the capitalist society.
In CMP products take form of commodity.
A commodity is an exchangeable product used to satisfy human need. Every commodity has an associated value associated to it. This value can further be sub categorized into use-value and Exchange value (or simply value). The utility the thing makes constitutes its use-value. Wher as the exchange value (or simply value) is proportion in which a certain number of use-values of one kind can be exchanged for certain number use values of other kinds. A common feature of all commodities is that they are "product of labour". Each particular commodity represents only a certain share of "socially necessary 'labour time'. The magnitude of value is determined by the amount of socially necessary labour for the production of a given commodity.
Further for a commodity the exchange value constitutes the quantitative value and the use value represents the quantitative aspect of value. In determining the price of a commodity the use value constitutes the substratum of the price of a commodity.
The value of a commodity consists in the fact that its owner relinquishes its own use value and pockets its exchange value.
The pre capitalist social formation were characterised by use-value in CMP it is the exchange value which dominates, hence the Surplus Value (SV), that though present in all class divided society assumes a much greater significance. Whereas the surplus value can originate outside the sphere of production in pre Capitalist Mode of Production, where it represents essentially a transfer value (so-called primitive accumulation of capital) and is circumscribed by the approximate fixed cycle if needs. But under CMP where capital controls and dominates the sphere of production, it assumes significance, as it represents a constant increase in value.
Thus it is only under CMP that exchange value replaces the need value.
The production of surplus value was widely used by Marx during his course of analysis of Capitalist Mode of Production one finds its repeated use in Marx's extant text. The limitation of space prohibits us from going in detail of discussing about surplus Value which in itself constitutes separate topic of discussion.
Let us recall that the hallmark of a Capitalist Mode of Production is the appropriation of Surplus Value. In all other previous modes of production, it was the use value and not exchange value which governed the production, but in CMP the use value is replaced by exchange value, hence unlike the pre Capitalist Mode of Production, the Surplus Value hence generated cannot be circumscribed.
On the contrary the CMP the value of surplus Value assumes far greater importance and becomes the dominant theme. The capital can only generate more Surplus Value if it keeps itself in the circuitous motion. Marx's brilliant and much famed formula (M-C....P....C' -M') elucidates this motion. This circuitous motion can only sustain itself if the external trade develops and reaches to the 'world market'. The external trade transforms the 'market' into 'new market'. this develops the true nature of value of the surplus product. This world market changes the character of money that money now develops into world money while the abstract labour metamorphosis into social labour.
As capital tends to create surplus value continuously, it creates complimentary poles of exchange, thus propagate CMP across the globe.
The world market is therefore the pre-supposition as well as result of the capitalist production.
Each limit from point of capital is an obstruction that has to be surmounted, even at the cost of the destruction of productive force.
Thus capital tends to root out all other modes of production, that it comes to view as obstructionist in its incessant growth, hence it goes on a spree of destruction of all vestiges of the earlier society.
Capital in its own course of temporal spatial development, strewn with plunder, enslavement, dispersion of masses perpetrated at a scale unknown to human beings sows its own seed of negation.
The class it creates for its own development exacerbates its own nemesis. The proletariats stands directly confronting it and halting its death march to crate a new society. One hand the bourgeois society carries within its own womb seed of its own destruction; on the pother it creates the material foundation of a new society.
The CMP is credited for the development of productive forces, which it has carried forward more than any previous mode of production.
With all analysis of Marxism a central point that one should never forget is that Marx above all was an internationalist and a revolutionary. The academia and generally the resurgent Marxist academia of the first world while discussing the Marxian theory of capitalism; overemphasizes on the "economist" Marx, while forgetting the real Marx—the internationalist revolutionary Marx.
Amidst their economic jargon and mathematical equations, somewhere the soul of Marx is completely neglected. The works of Marx and Engels above all their analysis and interpretation carries within itself the ultimate goal for which they were penned. The class anger, the historical program of awakening the working class from their slumber is today what is missing from the scores of papers produced every year from the numerous universities and research institutions. Economic Marxism cannot be isolated from its overall superset of political economy. Marxism is not another subset of Economics enumerating statistics and devoid of any human emotions. It is a methodology of analysing the ills that is plaguing the present society and how to end this impasse.
He expressed his optimism that colonial power whatever may have the crimes of England (in case of India) she was the unconscious tool of history in bringing about that revolution. Thus for Marx the process of interdependence of nation would bring about not only benefits for the bourgeois but would hasten the social transformation of the pre Capitalist Mode of Production societies.
In 1847, addressing the workers, Marx termed big industries, the free trade and world market as the 'positive side of capital'. Without capitalism there would have been no proletariat, neither could the material means for the worker's emancipation and the foundation of a new society could be laid. He believed capitalism as an historically inevitable, a step along the path of humanities destiny.
On the whole the CMP to meet its pre destines fate, it has to become unbearable not only for the few but to the whole class of working people. Producing a masses of individuals deprived of means of living on one hand and at the other immense wealth confronting the deprived concentrated in hands of few; dominating their every aspect of life as an alien power. The world market then becomes the playground where this process finds its most brutal expression and the logical conclusion.
Contradiction is pre requisite for progress. The only way a mode of production paves way for the other more superior mode of production is by the historical development of their inherent contradiction. The capitalist system continuously seeks to overcome its inherent antagonism. But its crisis keeps recurring, and assumes the form of cycle.
In the Communist Manifesto Marx pellucidly explains the capitalist's futile attempt to overcome the periodic crises.
"And how does the bourgeois get over these crises? On the one hand by enforced destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the other by conquest of new market, and by the more through exploitation of the old ones. That is to say, by paving the way for more extensive and more destructive crises and by diminishing the means whereby crises are prevented".
Rising like phoenix arises the workers now not alone but as a class forming a movement that unlike all previous movement is "the self conscious movement independent movement of the immense majority." Smashing along its triumphal march the present and all vestiges of past modes of production that hitherto were based on one class exploiting other; the proletariats march towards forming "Union of Free Individuals", heralding the exploitation less "Associated Mode of Production." Superior than all the other system and thus entering ushering an era of proletarian internationalism, the globalised society of the masses.

It's my one month anniversary at Mosaic!
I've been at my internship one month! I've been working with the GameOn department which focuses on Video Game Merchandising! It is one of the top departments in the company and brings in MILLIONS of dollars. SO besides being well versed over the new releases what do I do? I work on the code articles, which is essentially the bible that the Regional, District managers, and field reps all over America use to determine what marketing placement they're supposed to use for the week. I monitor and report on the shipping for hundreds, and depending on the week thousands, of stores. I also take photographs to make sure the proper products are in place to make sure our Clients are happy. Needless to say in the 30 days I've been here I've been given a huge amount of responsibility. I've already learned so much that will make life so much easier once I go back to school and apply to my classes and projects.
My department is like a family. 90% of the bonding we do is through food! (lol) Every Wednesday we have a team lunch and relax. It's the ideal environment for me because I'm always learning, and I'm always laughing!

Are You Scared to Evaluate Your Business?
Whether in business, relationships, school assignments, or almost any situation you can think of, you can get too close to a situation and the path forward becomes dubious. Everyone experiences this barrier. You don't have to be scared of evaluating your business.
For some reason, making decisions gets harder the closer we get to the subject matter. It becomes more difficult to see things impartially and with good judgement. Evaluating your business from an outsider's perspective is probably one of the hardest things for a business owner to do, but it is a requirement for finding success.
We've all been there before – a close friend is in a terrible situation with their significant other and you just want to shake them! We ask, "why can't you see that this isn't going to work?" Nonetheless, you are forced to sit back and let them make their own mistakes. Inevitably, your friend gets hurt. Sometimes you know that you're on the receiving end of that experience, but you just can't seem to see outside of your own attachment to that person.
The same thing can happen with a business! We get set in our ways after putting so much work into it that we struggle to have an impartial and realistic view. Approaching your business from an outsider's perspective can be very difficult, and even emotional. Taking this step is 100% necessary, especially if business has plateaued or you are looking to scale.
There are some questions that can help you to figuratively step outside of yourself for the sake of the business and your future. Evaluating your business means asking yourself some tough questions and being brutally honest in order to make necessary changes.
1. What have I worked the hardest on? What do I feel most proud of?
These aspects of our business tend to be the ones that we have the hardest time changing. The time we've invested might seem wasted if someone wants to make changes or updates.
2. What aspects of my business am I most attached to? Is there a customer service approach, product manufacturing process, or even an decision-making process that I've been persistent about through the years?
It might be time to recognize a technological or cultural shift that could impact your business strategy. Yes, it's business – and yes, we get emotionally attached to parts of it. When you invest so much time and energy into something you care about, humans are bound to have a (sometimes illogical) attachment to it.
3. Am I holding on to dated beliefs about what works for my clients and business?
For example, just because the way you've handled marketing worked in the past, doesn't mean it will continue to work moving forward. Industries change and with the growth of technology, customers' expectations change. Innovation is relevant here, even to current products and services you may offer.
4. Have I become defensive about any part of my business?
If you've ever received a customer complaint and had the knee-jerk reaction to defend yourself, then you've gotten defensive. Other people can't possibly understand how difficult it was to work through this process or else they wouldn't nitpick so much! Flexibility is key, however, take those complaints as an opportunity for improvement.
5. Have my employees made suggestions lately? If so, what kinds of suggestions?
Employees can play a key role in identifying the best way to improve processes, products or services. They are often on the ground floor, talking to customers and hearing their feedback directly. Be careful with this one, choose your highest performing employees and ask them for an honest opinion. You might get some interesting insight on where they think you can make improvements.
6. Who do I trust to be honest with me?
The answer to this question is likely not going to be a family member or close friend – there are already too many emotional connections and possibly baggage here. I suggest finding someone that you are friendly with but whom you won't be offended by when presented with harsh truths. Colleagues can often take on the unique viewpoint of a 'customer' without necessarily being one and give invaluable feedback.
Sometimes, these questions are challenging to reflect on, but remember that growth (both personal and professional) only comes with genuine self-reflection. In order to review your business and it's potential, you have to be open to recognizing your business' flaws. This helps you turn those flaws into your business' greatest strengths.
I once heard a great athlete speak about the way that they looked at improvement. She would constantly evaluate her strengths and weaknesses with the goal of identifying where she could most improve. Identify your weakest areas and work until it is your greatest strength, then re-evaluate and repeat the process. This forces your business to constantly be improvement focused. Whether you are working on product or service development, customer service, or operational streamlining, there are opportunities for growth.
Where is YOUR biggest pain point and how can you help yourself solve for that pain point?

The Fun Economy Displaces the Stuff Economy
Posted on August 22, 2014 by jlredford
The other day I took my 9-year-old son to gymnastics class. The gym is in an industrial neighborhood of Waltham, Massachusetts, which was pretty much the original industrial town of America. The Industrial Revolution in the US started here when Francis Cabot Lowell and Paul Moody built the country's first major textile mill in 1814. You can visit it today as the Charles River Museum of Industry. Every year they hold fun steampunk festivals. So what is the town like now?
The gym is on Clematis Ave, which is lined with 1970s-era industrial buildings. At first glance it looks like a thousand other anonymous places in the country, a mix of old and new manufacturing operations.
A view down Clematis Ave, Waltham
Here's an old operation, a machine shop. There's an electro-plating plant, and here's a heavy equipment parts warehouse. Then there's a new firm doing water-purification tech, and a distribution center for a solar panel installer.
Yet they're now the minority of the storefronts. What you also see are the Boston Fencing Club and a Planet Fitness. Here's a tennis and badminton center. Here's a place that does "Canine Aquatic Fitness and Rehabilitation":
A happy customer at FlowDog
The Farm Baseball Academy. Champion Physical Therapy and Performance. Ah, and at last we come to the Massachusetts Gymnastics Academy:
A dismal former factory, now filled with bouncing children. Leo is in the center in the black and orange shirt
This used to be a big space for shelves or machinery. It's still got the standard steel-truss roof and cinderblock walls: cheap, durable, and ugly. Yet now it's all primary colors and soft floor mats. Instead of a wall of tools on the left, there's a wall of trophies. Instead of grim middle-aged guys tending to their jobs and watching the clock, it's full of buff young people and excited kids.
The young people are undoubtedly paid less and have no benefits. The space no longer makes things that are exported from Boston to bring other goods in. Instead, there's a money transfer from harried parents to anonymous owners.
It's now making fun instead of stuff. That's what has taken over even a drab industrial area like this. The fun businesses have moved in because the stuff businesses are so unprofitable that the area is cheap. All they need is a large uncluttered volume of climate-controlled space. They need room to bounce around, or to lunge and parry, or to hit shuttlecocks, or to set up tanks for dogs to swim in. An art gallery needs a much more finished space, but these firms don't.
Is it wrong to make fun instead of stuff? It does seem frivolous, and unserious. Compare carving an engine piston out of a cylinder of steel at a machine shop to mopping up after a swimming dog. The latter seems, well, unmanly, sad to say.
But there are machines in Michigan that carve millions of engine pistons a year. Those machines get better all the time. We just don't need as many small machine shops scattered around the country as we used to. More automation and better transportation has undercut them. We also don't need constantly greater amounts of stuff in our lives. At some point the stuff needs annoying amounts of our attention, and we throw it away.
Still, there's also only so much fun we can have in our lives. The fun economy will also stall out at some point. Then it'll be replaced by, I don't know, spiritual yearning centers, or something else that satisfies other human needs. Yet for now even an old stuff-based town like Waltham seems to be shifting over to fun.

I am in LOVE with Ethel. Not only is she made with beautiful Art Gallery fabric, but she is soft, cuddly, and so freaking adorable.
Art Gallery is sponsoring a contest using the new Cultivate line by Bonnie Christine. This great line blends the cool colors of summer with warm fall tones. The challenge was to use any of the prints from this line to make anything that signifies change.
We had just 2 1/2 weeks to make and submit a project for this challenge. That's not much time, but doable. I was hoping to create my own pattern, but then I had the grand-monkeys for a week, and was sick for a week. So really, I didn't have much time as originally expected to work on this challenge. But I love how she turned out.
I used a Huggable Pattern for the elephant. I made up the hat and rocker, and honeyman made the rocker for me. She had her first photo shoot at the LQS, but when I took her to the park, her personality really came through.
She decided that she really liked to garden among the hosta plants.
And took a break on a bench in town square.
If you have enjoyed Ethel, she asks that you log into Pinterest and VOTE FOR HER here. You vote by clicking on the heart on her picture. Of course, repins are great too.

This is so very cute. I love Ethel among the green hostas.
Thank you. Her personality really came out when I took her to the gardens. The orange and the green really complemented each other.
This is really sweet! And I agree about the orange and green. Ethel looks right at home in the hostas.
She really loved the hostas. Thanks for visiting!
Ethel is certainly sweet… I have a special place in my heart for elephants!
What an adorable little elephant! She is very elegant, for sure!!
She's freakin' adorable! Love, love, love! Good luck!
Oh, the adventures of Ethel the rocking elephant. I so enjoyed the story of her first outing…I think she should go on more tours and see what trouble she can get into. Good luck in the contest!
Visiting from Freemotion by the River, I just couldn't resist coming by to see your adorable elephant. Too cute, great project.
Thank you Carole. She's even cuter in person. Thanks for visiting.
Ethel is such a beauty! And so photogenic!! She made me smile with her hat!! Great job.
So glad she made you smile. Thanks for visiting!

'This is their opportunity.' Ohio State's young receivers get their chances in Rose Bowl
Bill Rabinowitz
LOS ANGELES — An elite passing game was the one constant in Ohio State's 2021 football season.
Saturday's Rose Bowl will serve as a preview of the new look it will have in 2022. With Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson deciding not to play against Utah to protect against an injury that could affect their NFL future, the Buckeyes will turn to their younger receivers.
Sophomore Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who leads Ohio State in catches (80) and receiving yards (1,259), will remain in the slot. But redshirt freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud's outside receivers will be sophomore Julian Fleming and true freshman Marvin Harrison Jr. Another true freshman, Emeka Egbuka, played behind Smith-Njigba in the slot but is expected to play a larger role Saturday.
The absence of players the caliber of Olave and Wilson, who are projected to be first-round picks, would be devastating to many teams. Ohio State simply views it as a passing of the torch.
Stroud described himself as "super-confident" that the young receivers will be up to the task.
"They've been anxious all year to play," Stroud said Wednesday. "This is their opportunity to go out there and prove what they can do. I'm definitely excited for them to go out there and have some fun."
How to watch the Rose Bowl:What channel is the Rose Bowl game on? Here's how to watch, stream Ohio State vs. Utah
Fleming was the top-ranked wide receiver nationally in the 2020 recruiting class. Injuries, first to a shoulder and more recently to a hamstring, have slowed his progress. Fleming has only seven catches for 51 yards and one touchdown this season. He is now presumed to be healthy.
The son of the Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver, the 6-foot-3 Harrison impressed as soon as he arrived on campus. Egbuka, a five-star recruit, has flashed his ability, mainly on kickoff returns.
"Julian is real physical, very fast, very athletic, very strong," Smith-Njigba said. "Marvin Harrison, he's got great feet. He's a great route runner, great hands. He's got some size on him. Emeka, he's just very explosive, a little bit like myself. Great routes, great hands."
Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said Harrison has practiced as well as any Buckeye receiver the past five or six weeks.
"It's ridiculous how well he's practiced," Wilson said. "But it's one thing (to excel) during practice. Now take it from the driving range to the golf course. Now take it to the Rose Bowl. Take it against a quality defensive football team.
"But he has been off the charts in practice in his details. He's very, very mature."
Rose Bowl could help Ohio State football in 2022
Whatever happens Saturday, Wilson believes the experience will pay off in 2022.
"To have that opportunity this year as opposed to next year probably gives you a little bit more self-assuredness, or maybe also shows you where you're still lacking," he said. "Sometimes even in practice, as good as it looks, you can still be a little bit off. So to go through some of those growing pains, even though it's a huge game and a must-win game, it's still going to be a great opportunity for those (players) as we springboard into 2022."
The young receivers aren't the only ones with motivation. Smith-Njigba looks forward to assuming a leadership role after learning under Olave and Wilson.
"I definitely I always wanted to be in this position, so it's just great that it's happening," Smith-Njigba said. "I appreciate Chris and Garrett for allowing me to follow them and them taking me in the right direction."
Stroud is looking forward to getting his feet wet with the receivers he'll target next year. He views the game as a bridge from 2021 to 2022.
"I think that if we play well, that will be a big-time win, and that will jump-start you into the next year," he said. "You don't want to go into the next year with two bad tastes in your mouth."
Buckeyes defensive line shakeup:Ohio State football defensive linemen call for 'next man up' without Haskell Garrett
That's a reference, of course, to Ohio State's 42-27 loss to Michigan. Stroud entered that game as perhaps the Heisman Trophy front-runner. Though Stroud played well against the Wolverines, the defeat and the inability to put an exclamation point on the season with a Big Ten championship game caused him to fall to fourth in Heisman voting.
"I wouldn't say I'm disappointed," Stroud said. "I'm happy to even be a Heisman finalist. But I don't think it was fair. I don't think that was the truth. But it's not my job to critique myself or critique others. I'm just supposed to play. But I do have a voice, and I will speak my voice. I think that's just making the game fun."
Stroud said that Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, a fellow Southern Californian and close friend, deserved to win the Heisman. But it's clear Stroud was displeased with not finishing higher.
"Who just wants to see somebody take fourth place and be all happy with it?" he said. "I've never been that type of player. I'm a competitor, so I'm not just gonna take that and be all jolly and happy with it. Yeah, it'll drive me for the rest of my life, probably."

Pre-scheduled weekend course with a 3 student limit. Must be reserved 30 days minimum prior to start date.
Learn to sail with your partner!
Jason is a great guy and was very patient with us. He made it a great time and the material easy to understand. I hope to go back and take some more advanced classes with him.
My Dad and I took a 3 Day course to qualify for ASA 101. Jason was an excellent instructor and guide. Thorough, entertaining, and personable, he showed us a great time out on the ocean while making sure we focused on all the material to easily pass our exam. I will definitely choose Jason for future sailing adventures and ASA courses.
John and I took our ASA 103 sailing class this weekend – and passed !!! We can't say enough about our amazing instructor – his knowledge and love for sailing is contagious. Anyone that wants to or has ever thought about sailing should contact Jason Cox and his Myrtle Beach Sailing School. Ask him about the hammock and Sebastian !!
MB Sailing School and Jason were a wonderful experience, the boat was a very nice 30 something footer and the Skipper is extremely knowledgeable and quite a teacher. Was my first experience on a sailing vessel but thanks to Jason it won't be my last!! Great experience and highly recommend.
I had a great time at Myrtle Beach Sailing School. Jason is a great teacher and he really makes an effort to provide as much instruction as possible during his courses.
"Captain Jason is a Great Instructor" My wife and I took ASA 101 and 103 from Jason. We found Jason to be an excellent instructor. We flew from Montana to Myrtle Beach to take sailing instruction from him. We could not have asked for a more patient or knowledgeable instructor than Jason. I highly recommend him to any person interested in learning how to sail. We anchored out one night and the sunset was spectacular.
My wife and I have always had the passion to learn to sail, so we made the decision to move forward! We combined ASA courses 101-103 to complete in a weeks time. Not fully knowing what to expect, we were really impressed with our instructor Capt Jason. Capt Jason is very knowledgeable & made our lesson plan enjoyable while detailing the importance of the knowledge base we were absorbing. We spent the whole week on the water, understanding the safety and joys of life on the water. We are looking forward to our next 104 course! I highly recommend Capt Jason for your instruction or charter! Thanks again Jason! We look forward to the spring!
Jason, you rock! Thanks, I had a blast! Never imagined that getting certified comes with so much great sailing and so much fun!
My son Ben Lovell and I took the American Sailing Association 101 course with Jason in early November and had a blast! As an instructor, Jason made sure we understand the content and felt comfortable with the skills we had to demonstrate. He was always patient when we didn't grasp something and was willing to model and repeat as many times as necessary. As a Captain, Jason was extremely knowledgeable of the area and very skilled as a sailor. From our initial meeting, we realized we were in competent hands. Maybe even more important than learning skills, Ben and I developed an itch – perhaps even a passion – to learn more about the exciting world of sailing. We plan to take the ASA 103 course, and our preferred Captain will be Jason Cox with Myrtle Beach Sailing School.
Hey Jason, thanks again! Your professionalism, confidence, and sailing knowledge made for a fantastic learning experience for me. You made ASA 101 a breeze and I can't wait for my ASA 103 date to finally get here! You make learning fun.
Why are your courses more expensive than other schools in your area?
Most sailing schools offer two-certification combo courses in a 4-day format. Why are yours six or seven days?
How many students will be on the sailboat?

The Carlton County Historical Society announces a series of Wednesday programs at noon about the Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit "Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations" currently on view at the museum. The next Noontime Bag Lunch program is on Wednesday, November 28, 2012.
The next program looks at traditional Ojibwe governance with headmen, councils of elders and spiritual leaders. It complements the exhibit which includes 20 free standing banners with text, historical and contemporary photographs and maps, and a 10-minute video titled, "A Day in the Life of the Minnesota Tribal Nations." The CCHS museum has added an exhibit of regional Ojibwe artifacts to accompany this exhibit, which will be on view through December 15.
"Why Treaties Matter: Self-Government in the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations" is a collaboration of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Minnesota Humanities Center, and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian. The project is funded in part with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with a vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008, and ThePatrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation.
Visitors are encouraged to bring their bag lunch, refreshments and desserts will be served. Regular admission to the museum is $1.00 with children under 12 and CCHS members admitted at no charge. The CCHS museum is handicapped accessible. For questions call the CCHS at 218-879-1938.
On Friday, November 2, at 1 p.m. the Carlton County Historical Society will offer a program called "Finnish Farmsteads in Minnesota" by Rachael Martin.
Martin, CCHS Executive Director , will present a slide show of log construction styles used by Finnish immigrants who came to Minnesota in the late 1800 to early 1900 era. This program complements the museum's current exhibit "Barns of Carlton County", which includes a section on Finnish log construction.
Complimentary refreshments will follow the program. Regular admission to the museum is $1.00 with children under 12 and CCHS members admitted at no charge. Bring your friends and relatives! For questions call the CCHS at 218-879-1938.
On Sunday, October 7, 2012, at 1 p.m. photographer Doug Ohman of New Hope, Minnesota, presented a slide program called "Barns of Minnesota" at the Carlton County Historical Society in Cloquet. This program was sponsored by Cloquet's Frandsen Bank & Trust, Lemon Tree Liquor and Nelson Funeral Care and Northview Bank of Willow River.
Ohman and author, Will Weaver, put together the first book in the Minnesota Byways series called "Barns of Minnesota". The idea for this book came from an editor at the Minnesota Historical Society to do a book about barns before they all fall down. Several more books have been published in the series, pairing Ohman's photos with some of the best writers in the state.
The book "Barns of Minnesota" features 85 color photos of real-life barns in 36 Minnesota counties. Photographer Ohman says some of those barns have fallen down since he took the pictures, but the images of the barns offer a glimpse of a by-gone era and the people who lived it.
This program complimented the current CCHS exhibit on "Barns of Carlton County" with photographs and farm tools on view. After the program, refreshments were served and visitors viewed the exhibit, which closes November 6th.

Our second movie matinee of two old time movies from the CCHS collection was held on a rainy Saturday afternoon.. We saw an 8 millimeter home movie donated by a Scanlon resident who was present to see it for the first time. She thought the film might include local fishing trips or perhaps Christmas at home. The taped music selected to accompany this film was Swedish folk songs. The beautiful color film showed the donor's mother among palm trees and orchids, and the donor exclaimed, "That's my parent's trip to Hawaii!" We watched the hula girls dancing to the sounds of "Helsa Dem Der Hemme".
The second movie was a 16 millimeter sound film showing various Joe Louis fights from the 1930s. The first fight was with Max Behr. Unfortunately, the film was in poor condition causing it to jump on the screen. After two jumpy fights, we called an end to the Joe Lewis movie. Popcorn and punch were served and door prizes were announced during intermission.

The second film was a combination of riding in a car through the unpaved roads of Jay Cooke Park, then a wintertime ice and log jam on the St. Louis River, followed by a steam engine wreck and Christmas at home with dolly. Both 8 millimeter films were accompanied by taped music. Popcorn and punch was served.
We had nine people attend and offered six door prizes during intermission. Lucky winners received Frank Lloyd Wright coffee mugs, Frank Lloyd Wright T-shirts and a CD with historical pictures of Cloquet.

'Kejriwal ne Mauj Kardi': Children swim, BJP leader rafts on Delhi roads as the city drowns in rain
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) informed that Delhi has received 1,100 mm of rainfall so far, the highest in 46 years.
Screengrab of the video
With a record-breaking rainfall of 1150mm since the onset of the monsoon season (the highest since 1975), coupled with the failure of the Delhi government, several parts of the National Capital witnessed large-scale waterlogging on roads. In a video posted by ANI on Saturday (September 11), children were seen swimming on the streets in flooded streets. Amidst the heavy traffic jam, the kids managed to swim in the middle of the road due to the poor water drainage system.

BJP spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga took to Twitter to share a video of him rafting on the streets of Delhi. While pointing out the failure of the Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, he said, "I wanted to go to Rishikesh (Uttarkhand) for rafting in this monsoon season. However, I could not go due to Covid-19 outbreak and the subsequent lockdowns. I want to thank Delhi CM for ensuring that we can raft in every corner of the National Capital." Furthermore, Bagga asked Kejriwal to put up banners highlighting his achievement (of turning roads into water sports adventure sites). "Kejriwal ji Mauj kardi," he concluded.

Earlier, visuals from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport showed flooding within its forecourt and adjoining areas. In a tweet, the Delhi airport announced, "Due to sudden heavy rain, for a short period, there was waterlogging at the forecourt. Our team was immediately aligned to look into it and the issue has been resolved." Reportedly, 5 flights were diverted to another airport and 3 of them were cancelled due to waterlogging at the Delhi airport.
Waterlogging was also witnessed in Om Vihar, Ring Road, Vikas Marg, Sangam Vihar, RK Puram, Madhu Vihar, Hari Nagar, and Rohtak Road. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) informed that Delhi has received 1,100 mm of rainfall so far, the highest in 46 years. It is double the precipitation recorded last year. On average, Delhi records 648.9 mm of rainfall during the monsoon season, according to the IMD.

Les Paswan, également connus sous le nom de Dusadh, sont une communauté dalit de l'est de l'Inde.

On les trouve principalement dans les états du Bihar, de l'Uttar Pradesh et du Jharkhand. Le mot ourdou Paswan signifie garde du corps ou « celui qui défend ». L'origine du mot, selon la croyance de la communauté, réside dans leur participation à la bataille contre Siraj-ud-daulah, le Nawab du Bengale à la demande de la Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales, après quoi ils ont été récompensés par le poste de Chowkidars et percepteur d'impôts brandissant des lathi pour les Zamindars. Ils suivent certains rituels comme marcher sur le feu pour affirmer leur valeur.

Étymologie
Les Paswans revendiquent leur origine à partir d'un certain nombre de personnages folkloriques et épiques afin de rechercher l'élévation de leur statut social. Certains Paswan croient qu'ils sont issus de Rahu, un surhumain et l'une des planètes de la mythologie hindoue, tandis que d'autres prétendent leur origine de Dushasana, l'un des princes Kaurava. Les revendications concernant l'origine de « Gahlot Kshatriya » sont également persistantes parmi certains des hommes de caste, mais d'autres considèrent ces revendications avec dédain, car ils n'aiment pas être associés aux Rajputs.

Il a également été soutenu par certains Bhumihars qu'ils sont les descendants de mariages croisés entre hommes et femmes de deux castes différentes. Cependant, la communauté Paswan rejette ces théories et soutient que l'origine du nom « Dusadh » réside dans Dusadh, qui signifie « difficile à vaincre ».

Histoire
Ils ont été considérés comme une communauté intouchable. Au Bihar, ils sont principalement des ouvriers agricoles sans terre et ont toujours été des gardiens de village et des messagers. Avant 1900, ils élevaient également des porcs, en particulier dans l' Uttar Pradesh et le Bihar. Les Paswans défendent l'occupation de l'élevage de porcs en l'affirmant comme une stratégie pour contrer les musulmans. Ils affirment que, pour se protéger des musulmans, les filles paswanes portaient des amulettes en os de porc et gardaient des porcs à leur porte, étant donné l'animosité des musulmans envers les porcs. Étant donné que les Rajputs du Rajasthan élevaient aussi bien que chassaient des cochons sauvages, ce fait est utilisé par eux pour défendre cette occupation qui est corroborée par le fait qu'après la fin du système Zamindari, l'occupation traditionnelle de servir de garde ne pouvait plus assurer la subsistance des eux.

Les Paswans ont également été historiquement associés à des activités martiales et beaucoup d'entre eux ont combattu au nom de la Compagnie des Indes orientales au  dans l'armée du Bengale. Le recensement de l'Inde de 2011 pour l'Uttar Pradesh a montré que la population de Paswan, qui est classée comme une caste répertoriée, était de . Le même recensement a montré une population de  au Bihar.

Le héros populaire des Paswans est Chauharmal. Dans le folklore de Paswan, l'histoire de Chauharmal et Reshma est bien connue. Reshma, la fille d'un puissant propriétaire terrien de Bhumihar, persuade Chauharmal de l'épouser contre la volonté de son père. Finalement, Chauharmal affronte le père de sa bien-aimée et le bat, symbolisant la victoire de la communauté sur leurs oppresseurs Bhumihar. D'autres versions du conte rejettent ce message stimulant en affirmant que Chauharmal est né dans une famille brahmane lors d'une naissance précédente tandis que Reshma est née en tant qu'épouse.

En dehors de Chauharmal Baba, certains Dusadh vénèrent également Gauriya Baba. Ce héros folklorique selon leurs traditions orales est contemporain de la domination moghole en Inde. Selon les folklores, il montait à cheval et protégeait non seulement ses propres hommes de caste, mais aussi les autres hindous, y compris les Rajputs, des assauts des soldats moghols et des conversions forcées à l'islam. Baba avait l'habitude d'enterrer la tête de cochon devant sa maison qui était située à la périphérie du village. Comme les porcs étaient un anathème pour les musulmans, il protégeait le village des incursions des soldats moghols à majorité musulmane.

Last Yamal LNG Arctic Ships on Sea Trials
Arctic Firsts: Arc 7 LNG carriers, including the Risunok and the ice-breaking Christophe de Margerie (pictured here). (Photo Courtesy: Yamal LNG and Sovcomflot)
The last of 15 Arc7-classed tankers ordered for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant Yamal LNG in Russia's Arctic north are undergoing sea trials around a South Korean shipyard, Refinitiv Eikon shipping data showed on Monday.
The Georgiy Ushakov and Yakov Gakkel LNG tankers are both in water at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) Okpo shipyard in South Korea and indicating they are performing sea trials, the data showed. The Vladimir Voronin, meanwhile, finished its sea trials and has left the Sea of Japan, setting Yamal LNG as its destination. It is appears to be taking the Northern Sea Route through the
Bering Straits, turning west at the north-eastern tip of Russia.
The tankers are part of a 15-strong fleet ordered by LNG companies for Yamal, which began operations in December 2017 and has contributed to a boom in LNG supplies in the past 18 months. Yamal is dependent on the ice-breaker tankers to ship LNG out of the Arctic waters.
The tankers have largely conducted ship-to-ship transfers in Europe to conventional carriers for onwards delivery, but during summer months they can traverse the Northern Sea Route to Asia. Two such trips have been made this month. All but one of the tankers are named after Russian arctic
explorers and scientists. The first Arc7 tanker, the Christophe De Margerie, is named after the former boss of Yamal's partner, Total, who died in an air crash in Russia in 2014.
