SHARING SOME INFORMATION ON SOME OF THE MAJOR RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD
INTRODUCTION: Craig is studying the teachings of different religions (to find 'common ground'/principles) and as he learns from his research, is sharing these notes in an attempt to 'enlighten' (himself and perhaps others). Hope this piece may be of interest to you too.
The Four Holy Truths: There is pain and suffering in the world - like birth, death, sickness, old age. Root cause of suffering is DESIRE. Karma is conscious action that has spiritual results. Karma consists of a persons acts and their ethical consequences + universal justice, a kind of natural moral law, rather than through a system of divine judgement. The struggle and suffering decreases as the individual acquires merit and wisdom during their life. Release from suffering. Nirvana is a complete detachment from desires and final nirvana is attained at death. Hindus renounce worldly desires. (Release = moksha)
The 8-fold path:
• views
• resolve
• speech
• behaviour
• occupation
• effort
• contemplation and
• meditation.
People attain a state of perfection. Through self effort one can attain the state of peace and eternal peace called Nirvana. Buddha ignored the worship of Gods, but did not deny their existence. What was important to Buddha was not the worship of Gods or of himself, but the following of his teachings. Nirvana is not a place like heaven, but a state of being. It's eternal - the end of suffering - no desires and individual consciousness comes to an end. It's more of a moral philosophy, an ethical way of life.
The nature of God is completely unknowable - he/she/it is transcendent to the point of total inaccessibility. Prophets are teachers - not saviours. God cannot incarnate himself and reveal himself to man. Therefore Jesus cannot be God. Jesus is seen as one of God's manifestations sent to human beings to assist in our spiritual evolution. The raising of the body of Jesus was actually the coming to life of Christ's teachings in the disciples, the restoration of their beliefs and conviction.
BAHAI work for world peace and believe in freedom of expression.
MORMONS:
Definition of the Trinity as 3 separate individuals, God the Father and Jesus Christ being physical persons united in purpose; also a belief that human beings, can, if they live the commandments of God to the full, attain the status of godhood in future aeons.
#*
The main purpose of Jesus coming to earth was to let it be known that he is supreme and exercises sovereignty over the universe. Salvation is only for those who believe in Jesus.
MUSLIMS (ISLAM)
Muslims regard the Koran as the speech of God to Mohammed, mediated by Gabriel, the Angel of Revelation. They believe that God himself, not Mohammed, is the author and therefore that the Koran is infallible. Collection of passages revealed in his prophetic life - 610-632. 114 chapters. Earliest teachings - one transcendent and personal God. Last Judgement and social and personal justice. God, he asserted, had sent prophets to other nations throughout history; but having failed to reform, these nations had been destroyed. Mohamed was the last prophet. Monotheistic. Well ordered, harmonious whole - everything has its proper place and limitations. God presides over and governs the universe, which with its orderly functioning, is the primary sign and proof of God and His unity. Mohammed's miracle is the Koran, the like of which no human can produce. Last Judgement:
The "successful ones" will go to the Garden (heaven) and the "losers" (the evil) will go to hell; although God is merciful and will forgive those who deserve forgiveness. Besides the last judgment, which will be on individuals, the Koran recognizes another kind of divine judgement, which is meted out in history to nations, peoples and communities. Nations, like individuals, may be corrupted by wealth, power and pride, and, unless they reform, these nations are punished by being destroyed or subjugated by more virtuous nations. Islamic Beliefs: ONE God. Thus it's a monotheistic religion. Muhammad proclaimed that Allah alone is God and that other idols were not to be worshipped. Muslims believe that the faith of Christianity has been corrupted and reject the Christian concept of the Trinity. They believe in angels, who are sinless. God's messages were brought directly to Muhammad by Gabriel. God is believed to be too exalted to speak directly with men. Belief in God's prohets: Adam, Noah, Abraham, etc. The Koran is believed to be the exact revelation of God to humanity. Koran is believed to have taken the place of all previous revelations of God's will - only the Koran is considered binding. A trumpet sounds - the dead will be raised and judged for their deeds - going to paradise or hell. Only those who die as martyrs slain in the battle for Islam are considered to be granted immediate access to paradise.* (see Christianity below). Prosperous and evil nations will ultimately be destroyed by God. "Islam" means surrender or submission to the will of God. Muhammad was closest to God, so his example is to be followed. Muslims believe in and honour many of the prophets of the Old Testament. But they also say that the Bible must have been corrupted; because it points out the errant behaviour of these prophets, and since no prophet of God would ever err, the Bible must be wrong. Muslims have high respect for Jesus, but the view that Jesus is divine or the son of God is, to them, the highest blasphemy. The Koran says that God is not a man, therefore he cannot have a son. He would never stoop to enter our world. Story of Christ's death reinforces their belief that the Bible has been corrupted over the years.
Basic tenets - the 5 pillars of Islam:
• Confession of faith
• Ritual prayer
* Obligatory alms - 'zakat' to help those less fortune
• The holy fast of Ramadan: a time where there is no smoking, drinking, swearing, anger, sex - use month of fasting to draw closer to God and renew their spiritual strength.
• Pilgrimage to Mecca, the "Hajj". Every Muslim who is not sick and can afford must complete. It is a time when all are deemed equal before God, regardless of social or financial position. As part of their purification process, participation heightens their social status.
Mohamed was a prophet, yet he never performed a miracle. He was not a mystic; he had no formal schooling, consequently Mohamed had no gift with words. In addition, he did not begin his mission till he was age 40. The impetus for the rise and raid spread of Islam was three-fold: Based upon the power of words, the efficacy of prayer and man's kinship with God.
Mohamed observed the decline of Christianity into warring sects (it's the same today!). The archangel Gabriel appeared to him and said that he was to be the Messenger for God. Mohamed had invited the Jews and Christians to join him, for he was not building a new religion - Mohamed was calling all who believed in ONE GOD to join in a single faith....
but that vision never materialised, as the Jews and Christians did not want to pursue that path.
Mohamed's legacy is that of persistence. Because after he had been preaching for ten years, he had nothing to show for it: but banishment, poverty and ridicule. Yet before another ten years had passed, he headed the rise of a new religion out of the Arabian desert, a faith spreading rapidly westwards, a flame which would not be extinguished.
Persistence changes the course of history
From 'The Last Great Prophet'
Reviewed by Thomas Sugrue (as published in 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill)
Christianity and Islam are missionary religions. Both faiths believe they have a monopoly over the truth. Both want to share their version of truth with others and both compete in seeking converts. However, there is a fundamental doctrinal incompatibility between the major faiths of Islam and Christianity. Together with the Jews, they worship the God of Abraham. These three religions have many prophets in common and consequently have "shared values" that have shaped societies over the past two millenia.
Most "informed" Christians, however, do not believe the Koran is the un-intermediated word of God. Simply put, the faith of Christianity exists solely on the basis that Jesus Christ is the 'son of God'*; whereas the faith of Islam exists purely on the basis that God dictated his laws to Mohammed and that the Koran contains God's actual words.
* (And Christians may take this literally or "metaphorically", symbolically, depending on their interpretation).
The concept of salvation (instant) coming purely through faith in Christ and not because of one's life works is unique to Christianity (because there is no guarantee of salvation with Islam...unless one dies as a martyr). It's the notion of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), which Islam and rationalists find to be the most implausible aspect of Christianity.
This debate of religions is really a battle of ideas, a 'clash of ideologies and civilisations between east and west'. Catholic Cardinal Ratzinberger once said: "Islam simply does not have the separation of the political and religious spheres which Christianity had from the very beginning. The Koran... insists that the whole order of life be Islamic. One must understand that Islam is not simply a denomination that can be included in the free realm of a pluralistic society." True Muslims cannot accept either the separation of powers or the freedom under the law which are the hallmarks of Western civilisation. *
* From an article in 'The Independent' by Dominic Lawson.
A few personal thoughts to end off..
Everybody's truth is different, because our experiences, our environments, our cultures, our life paths are different. So every person's faith is different (even the state of having NO faith). Finally, perhaps no religion can ever represent the Absolute Truth (because 'Absolute Truth' has a degree of subjectivity - at least I believe so!). Rather, religions can be different paths to the same Truth, with God, Infinite Spirit, the Grand Designer, the Essence of Life at the centre. (Like spokes leading to the hub, the Ultimate Source of Life). It's up to YOU to CHOOSE your set of beliefs, those which fit best with YOUR truth, your being.
I am motivated to share these sets of beliefs, these "eternal truths" with others, so people may benefit and enhance their lives in a meaningful way...if they so CHOOSE. I hope that this information may be of interest to you... and that's my reason for sharing.

"There is neither east nor west, tribe nor ethnicity, male or female, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist. Christian nor Jew. There is only a God-filled humanity."
"Let each one of us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls.
Let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace.
Let our leaders look at the future with a vision - to see things not as they are,
but what they could one day become."

I am so sorry first post and it posted three times. I humbly apologize!
I am trying to fix it!
The thoughts you shared about what Jehovah's Witnesses believe about Jesus. Jesus came to the earth as a ransom. By means of Jehovah's Great love, he gave his only begotten Son Christ Jesus, John 3:16. Only by means of Christ Jesus sacrifice does mankind have a chance to see the earth become a paradise. In the book of Isaiah, Jehovah said, "my word that goes forth shall not return to me without success". The benevolent gift of his precious son Christ Jesus allows man to see God's Kingdom prevail. Jesus being the son of God ( Jehovah) said he would make his Father's name known. Our salvation does depend that we put faith in Jesus sacrifice however, more importantly Jesus taught us how to love his Father and represented what kind of King Jesus will be when he sits at the right hand of Jehovah. May you have a beautiful day!

industry executives: But while renowned as an industry cost cutter, he spent lavishly on himself, thanks to multi-million-dollar salaries from Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi, according to CTV. Ghosn's October 2016 wedding to his second wife at the Grand Trianon in Versailles, once favoured by Marie Antoinette, featured actors in 18th century attire, a towering wedding cake and mounds of treats. Ghosn turned around France's Renault SA and then Japan's Nissan Motor Co., eventually linking them in an alliance with Mitsubishi Motor Corp. in their top-selling venture. Like the queen, the man once seen as a king among industry executives in France and Japan has flashed out like a dying star. Prosecutors say he is suspected of underreporting his income by 44 million over five years. Ghosn, 64, was arrested on Nov. 19 in Japan for allegedly falsifying his financial reports and misusing funds at Nissan Motor Co. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Home Rapture What is the rapture doctrine? Is it Biblical?
What is the rapture doctrine? Is it Biblical?
3.The rapture leaves the wicked alive.
4.God removes the righteous to protect them from the tribulation.
5.Christ's second coming will be in two stages: (1) the secret rapture, and (2) the actual coming, which will be glorious.
6.These two stages of the second coming will be seven years apart.
7.The rapture will take place before the revelation of the Antichrist, who then will bring about the tribulation.
1.The Bible teaches that the rapture is not silent, but rather is extremely noisy. Jesus will descend "with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God" (1 Thessalonians 4:16); "Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: … it shall be very tempestuous round about him" (Psalms 50:3); "The Lord shall roar from on high … he shall mightily roar … he shall give a shout. … A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth" (Jeremiah 25:30, 31).
2.The rapture is not invisible it will be seen by all "Behold, he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him" (Revelation 1:7). The second coming will not be a secret event "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, shineth even unto the west so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (Matthew 24:27). The second coming will be lighted by the glory of the Father (Matthew 16:27), the glory of the Son (Matthew 25:31) and glory of the angels (Matthew 28:2-4).
3.The rapture does not leave the wicked alive. They are destroyed by the Lord's coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:17, 18; Isaiah 11:4; Jeremiah 25:33).
4.The Lord does not rapture the righteous from tribulation, but rather protects them through it (Psalms 91:5-12). Christ's second coming will not be in two stages – one secret and the other seen by all. There is only one second coming (Matthew 16:27; Matthew 5:28,29; Matthew 25:31,32).
5.&6.The secret rapture believers say there is a seven-year period between the two second comings of Christ. This is not supported by scripture.
7.The Antichrist does not appear 3 1/2 years after the second coming of Jesus. He has been active since the beginning of time (1 John 4:3).
8.The wicked will not have a second chance to be saved after the second coming (Matthew 16:27; Matthew 5:28,29; Matthew 25:31,32). All sinners will be destroyed by Christ's second coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Jeremiah 25:33; Revelation 19:17, 18).


Over the past year the directors have been assessing the potential impact of Brexit on Indigo Wholefoods. We provided our original advice on 23rd January 2019 as it had come to the attention of the directors that a few customers were beginning to buy extra produce in preparation for Brexit on 29th March 2019. Therefore, the time had come to let customers know what the directors anticipated would be the impact of Brexit on Indigo Wholefoods and how Indigo Wholefoods would respond to it. On Thursday, 22nd March 2019 a delay to the original date of leaving the EU was agreed between the UK and the EU and this document updates our advice accordingly.
There are now four outcomes to the first stage of Brexit negotiations. One of which will occur in the next few weeks or months. Each will have a different impact on Indigo Wholefoods.
UK leaves the EU without an agreed withdrawal arrangement on Friday 12th April 2019. This may result in interruption to supply. There will be no interruption to supply of fully UK grown/produced and processed goods. The possible interruption to supply of other goods will not be immediate as there will be some supply both in the shop and in the UK at our wholesalers. The interruption may affect imported finished goods and imported ingredients to be made into finished goods in the UK. This will be because of delays occurring at customs on arrival into the UK. This will impact goods coming from the EU and outside of the EU due to delays in customs processing at ports. There is also the potential for price rises as a result of tariffs being applied to these imported goods and ingredients. The interim tariffs published by the government would seem to reduce the risk of tariffs being applied to the goods sold by Indigo Wholefoods. However, the legality of the proposed interim tariffs has been called into question and may not be valid under World Trade Organisation rules. The directors currently consider that leaving the EU without an agreed withdrawal arrangement is unlikely but may occur due to intransigent political positions. On Wednesday, 13th March MP's expressed their will that no deal Brexit should not occur under any circumstances. This vote was non-binding, but it is hard to imagine a scenario where MP's wont be given every opportunity to legislate for an alternative outcome.
UK leaves the EU with an agreed withdrawal arrangement on 22nd May 2019. This will result in no interruption to supply. The withdrawal agreement allows for a 21-month transition period which may be extended. The directors currently consider that leaving with the currently proposed withdrawal arrangement is least likely to happen. However, MP's will have the opportunity to coalesce around other "deals" including staying in the Customs Union and Single Market. Another "deal" is more likely than the current "deal" but any other "deal" would still require the disputed Irish Border Backstop and reduce the possibility of the UK adopting its own trade policy. Any alternative must be agreed with the EU by 12th April 2019. The directors feel that for various reasons it is still unlikely that the UK will leave the EU with an agreed withdrawal arrangement on 22nd May 2019. If the UK enters a transition period on 22nd May the directors will update customers to the implications of leaving the transition period towards the end of the transition period.
UK agrees an extended delay with the EU and may leave at an unspecified later date. This will result in no interruption to supply. The directors currently consider and extended delay to be the most likely outcome. Despite the fact that the UK will have to undertake European Parliamentary Elections on 23rd May 2019 and agree to either a new democratic process (new prime minister, new referendum, new general election) or at the very least a new "deal" that cannot be fully negotiated by 22nd May 2019, the UK needs the extended delay to fully come to terms with the implications of the result of the referendum on 23rd June 2016 and to decide the future path it wants to take. This will have to be agreed between MP's and accepted by the EU by 12th April 2019. In the event that we enter an extended delay the directors will update customers as the outcome of that delay becomes clear.
UK does not leave EU because Brexit is cancelled. This will result in no interruption to supply. Unilaterally revoking the Article 50 notification (cancelling Brexit) has been largely ignored as an option but has become a significant possibility over the last week. The directors currently consider cancellation to be unlikely but if a new "deal" or path to an extended delay has not been agreed by the start of April its chances will rise.
Don't panic – the chances of leaving without an agreed withdrawal arrangement in place are still unlikely.
Plan – consider which products you would like to ensure you have extra supply of and when you want to start stocking up.
Talk to us – we can let you know if the products you are concerned about are likely to be impacted by this scenario.
Make a special order – our staff will be happy to place a special order for your chosen product or products and offer you our best price. If you make a special order it helps us to plan and ensure that we have enough stock for you and for the rest of our customers.
The directors will be continuing to assess the likely outcomes, the implications for Indigo Wholefoods and the supply of produce over the course of the next few months and longer if necessary. Customers will be updated as the assessment changes, if it does.


Since the ancient times the Rajas would dedicate hero stones, called Bira Kall, to the memory of martyrs. Many hero stones were found in North Kodagu, especially around Somwarpet. These coarsely sculpted granite tablets, often issued by the rulers and otherwise commissioned by affluent families, were also known as Kolle Kallu, stones of the killed. A number of them have been lined up around the Government Museum within the Madikeri Fort.
Often the hero stone comprises of two or three panels. Usually at the top of the hero stone is inscribed a circular sun and a crescent moon. At the bottom are the carved figures of men and women holding weapons such as swords, shields and bows. Some sculptures were in the classic style found elsewhere in Karnataka, such as in Mysore and Shimoga, until as north as Belgaum, and in parts of Tamil Nadu to the South. In such hero stones the topmost compartment, underneath the etched sun and moon, would have a Linga and a bull with worshippers around them. The second would show the hero ascending the heavens with apsaras on either side fanning him. The third would have the hero battling other warriors during his life on earth. Sometimes there is a fourth, the bottommost, compartment which might have a horse and an elephant etched.
The most well-known of these Bira kall in Kodagu, also one of the more recent ones made in 1768, has an image representing Kannanda Doddayya the Dalavayi, or army general, wearing the traditional Kuppya Chele costume with an early gun in one hand and a native Oide katti war knife in the other. When Hyder Ali unsuccessfully attacked Kodagu, Doddayya stood before Muddu Raja II on the eve of the battle and declared: "Twice before have I returned after defeating Hyder and bowed to you but this time I shall not be back". Indeed in 1767 Doddayya was fatally wounded near Kajur Bagilu even as his army returned victoriously. Later, his house was destroyed and twenty four members of his family were killed by Hyder's son Tipu Sultan. According to G. Richter, in the 1870 book 'Manual of Coorg', Doddayya's Bira Kall was first placed in a paddy field, upon a hill slope and opposite the Mercara Central School.
A Kaimada, a small sanctuary built in remembrance of ancestors, was built a few decades ago and the Bira Kall was shifted into it. In front of this place, which is also called the Birappa sanctuary, and to its right is a shrine dedicated to Vishnu Murthy (Vishnu's image). To the left of the Bira sanctuary is a shelter, called the Pavali, where a number of devotees can sit within. Behind the sanctuary and to the left is a Trishul, planted upon a raised platform. There are two raised stone seats, one behind the other and facing the Birappa sanctuary.
The Kannanda family has three more memorial stones, featuring some more family members, placed inside another shrine. While one stone has a male ancestor with younger members, the second has a woman with children around her and the third shows two male ancestors holding weapons. Beside this second shrine is another Pavali with stone benches inside.
When I paid a visit to this Bira Kall site Mr. Kannanda Suresh, his wife Mrs. Kannanda Ashwini and a clan elder Mr. Kannanda Pookunhi narrated the legend of Doddayya. Accordingly, Doddayya's Kodagu army had successfully defeated Hyder Ali's army and were returning back victoriously. But unfortunately Doddayya was struck and wounded on the way. The Raja, initially pleased upon seeing the return of the victorious army, was dismayed when he heard of the dying general. Doddayya was led up the walls of Madikeri fort and all the lands that he looked upon were then granted to his family by the grateful Raja. Part of this was what is today called the Kannanda bane (land) in Madikeri, the area beyond Mann's compound and Ajjamada Devaiah circle. Doddayya passed away and a Bira Kall was made for him. Some more land grants were made to the Kannanda family by the Rajas. Thus the family came to own lands in seven places: Bavali, Madikeri, Haleri, Poramale, Kajur, Noorokkal and Katakeri. At one point the Kannanda family owned half of Madikeri. Family members sold away most of their lands over the years. Now only three of the original seven places exist with them.
A week after the festival of Shivaratri the Pade Bira (war hero) Kannanda Doddayya is remembered and a two-day festival is organised. Dance and enactment performances, called There, are arranged. On the first day Prasada is prepared and the Guru Karana, an ancestor who was the preceptor as well, is remembered. The Bhandara, money offered at the temple, is moved that evening. Throughout the night the Anji Koot Murthy (five spirit deities) There is held. At dawn the next day the Vishnu Murthy There is held. In the finale the Pade Bira There has a performer imitate Kannanda Doddayya and the Nari Pooda (tiger spirit) There has another performer emulate a tiger. The Pade Bira and the Nari Pooda performers together dance frantically around the place but while the Pade Bira sits upon the seat near the temple, the Nari Pooda sits upon the seat away from the temple. The Nari Pooda performer leaves early while the Pade Bira performer is the last one to remain.

Robert Anthony Plant was born 73 years ago on August 20, 1948 in Staffordshire, England. His love for music, specifically blues music, developed early. By age 16 he started pursuing his dream of singing professionally and joined several bands trying to find the right one. In 1968 a guitarist looking for a lead vocalist heard Plant sing and that is how he and Jimmy Page joined forces.
They began writing songs together, formed Led Zeppelin along with John Paul Jones and John Bonham and released the band's debut album on Atlantic Records in January 1969. Plant went on to an incredibly successful solo career after the band broke up in 1980. He is regarded to be one of the greatest singers of all time in rock music. Happy birthday, Robert Plant. Here's to 100 more.
"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings

Tyrus's Eye on Art
Musings on Contemporary Art and Artists: For the average person the contemporary art world seems to speak in a foreign language. I have found over the past decade that many people have an interest in art but feel like outsiders to a very insulated conversation. The purpose of this blog site is two-fold. First, it includes thoughts, observations, and analysis of contemporary artists and their works. The second type of blog entry is based on my own artwork.
Allison Luce—From dust you have come
It seems that the feminist movement needs a new publicist. Perhaps some of the more outrageous antics of a few first generation feminists are to blame, but a feminist stereotype has emerged. The shame within the art world is that younger artists may be apt to dismiss some of the groundbreaking work of their early feminist colleagues. The broader concerns of the movement are thus left unexplored, or at least under explored, by these young artists.
The reclaiming of imagery based on the female body runs the gamut from Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings to performance artist Carolee Schneeman's Interior Scroll. Yet the body of a woman is but one part of the entire feminist project. Artists like Faith Ringgold, Miriam Schapiro, and Judy Chicago tackled the place of women in a patriarchal system, in part, by the very media and materials of their art. In fact, Judy Chicago's famous Dinner Party blends overt female imagery with the use of clay, a material that held a traditional position as a craft medium, a lesser medium.
Contemporary clay artist Allison Luce follows, in a more subtle fashion, the pathway of Judy Chicago. Luce's early dual training in painting and art history has greatly impacted her ceramic endeavors. The same themes have been recurrent from the work of the 1990s until the present. The concept of the physical body as a vessel, a shelter, for the human soul is preeminent.
When I first encountered Luce's work I was most uncertain of her intended conceptual agenda. While the underlying structural material was indeed fired stoneware, the surface treatment did not reveal this. The surface of these works was covered in glitter. The disparity was actually quite fitting. The artist herself proves to be a dichotomy, not conforming to the typical feminist stereotype, but engendering a far more common and culturally expected female appearance. Yet her work clearly exhibits a kinship with O'Keeffe, Chicago, and other first generation feminists.
These glittering works were directly connected to a series of paintings from the same period. In each, the viewer is confronted with forms that reflect Gothic and Renaissance architecture—shapes gleaned from her familiarity with art history. The peaking, steeple-like shapes recall the facades of European cathedrals. The paintings utilize color to convey an open interior or void. The sculptural works go a step further by creating a box-like container for this void. These dazzling interiors are fitting containers for an eternal soul.
As the work matured, into some of Luce's more recent series, she persisted with this sheltering concept, but chose to obscure some of the more grandiose references to the spiritual realm. The spaciousness of the hollow interiors is not always evident. Some works, like Adumbration, share similarities with seashells, pushing the concept of the body as a physical shelter—or shell—for the soul in a more obvious direction.
Other works form the Serpent Tree series appear as if solid throughout. These seemingly solid works more fully align with the unconscious patterns of our human interactions. The physical being is what we often unconsciously consider the "person" in daily interactions, yet, upon death, we recognize the frailty of that body and reassure one another that the "real" person has departed in the form of the soul.
This series takes obvious cues from the Judeo-Christian creation account. Works like The Beginning offer expectation and hope in the verdancy of new life. When compared with Vertigo, the grayness of which signals death, the viewer senses that something is afoot. Vertigo appears like a human heart, with downward facing arteries and valves, drained of all life. Metamorphosis and Edict suggest bone-like structures. Their previous stages of growth are now hardened and calcified. The series follows a logical cycle that seems to end with The Fall, a downward facing trumpet form in blackened tones that signal death.
Between the extremes of The Beginning and The Fall are a range of more sumptuous and enticing works. Both Eve and Forbidden Fruit are finished in seductive red hues. It is also within works like these that one can find streams of Luce's feminist heritage. These pieces and others retain the natural slumping of clay slab work that bears considerable resemblance with primary physical female sexual characteristics. They are not quite as obvious as Judy Chicago's dinner plates, but they do not neglect the idea of female sexuality, either.
What is sensed when viewing multiple works by Luce is her tendency to create pairings, pieces that relate to one another. Immortal Mortal is a pairing, a doubling of the same form, within a single work. One side appears as the fragile earthen vessel, worn and scuffed, while the other is its pristine ideal. The hour glass form that results in the void between them suggests their relationship to one another, based on a temporal plane.
Eve and Forbidden Fruit could be a pairing based solely on their coloration. That is a more common association one finds in Luce's work. The other is a similarity in shape, with one piece often seeming to exhibit decorative flourishes that extend from a more stable inner structure. Metamorphosis and Edict exhibit this relationship. In this type of pairing gender roles come into question. But which piece stands for which gender? One might assume that the frilly extensions of Edict represent some aspect of culturally dictated female cosmetic expectations. Yet the flourishes could also relate to the rule of nature, wherein the male of the species is more apt to have extravagant coloration or plumage in order to attract a mate. This ambiguity is really at the core of Luce's feminist leanings. The pairs suggest relational interdependence but do not conflate that with some predetermined and steadfast cultural gender roles.
The last type of pairing again exists within individual pieces. These more recent pieces, like Ambiguous Ambit, exhibit unnatural pairings. Ambit feels more mechanical and synthetic than natural. It is still formed essentially from clay but the addition of an electrical cord somewhat confuses the viewer. Other works have incorporated artificial foliage and even faux fur.
The tension in these works is an avenue by which the artist forces the viewer to consider what is real and what is not. What is authentic and what is a deception. In these works the voids are filled with materials. Where there was once room for the spirit there is now inauthentic material that spills over onto the physical shelter.
In each phase of Allison Luce's work the viewer is confronted with traditionally held dualities. These may be in the form of male/female or body/spirit, but they all question what is authentic and what is inauthentic. The strength of the work is that it poses questions but offers ambiguous answers. Didacticism rarely produces great art.

Long History Between Daktronics and SBB Leads to Long LED Display Installation
The travelling experience in Switzerland has been completely transformed when it comes to railways. New, crisp, vibrant signage is now catching the attention of passengers, sharing vital travel information and generating additional revenue for railway stations.
The transformation for Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (SBB) began late in 2014 and had continued through the years.
LED Display, Lucerne Station
Today, Switzerland's largest travel and transport company has installed more than 50 LED video displays at nearly 20 locations. All of these signs have one thing in common – Daktronics. Most recently, in 2019, a massive LED display featuring 4-millimetre line spacing was installed at Lucerne Station. The display is 1.27m tall (4 feet) and 99.54m (326.5 feet) wide. That's nearly the length of a professional football pitch!
This is an additional display to support the flow of travelers from the train to the outside of the station with information for connecting local travel options. The flexibility of LED technology allows the station to show a combination of train schedules, travel information, advertising, emergency messaging and more.
SBB was the first public transport company in Europe to embrace LED technology with large- screen, central displays across an entire network of stations. The LED technology isn't only flexible with regards to the content, capable of changing the messaging at a moment's notice; it is also easier to control and service, and ensure that clear, visible information is reaching all viewers.
After the first 50 LED displays were installed, Daktronics received SBB's Infrastructure Partner Award for excellence in the installation of the first two displays, which are in the town of Neuchâtel. The company also received SBB's Best Supplier 2015 in the quality category.
SBB stated that Daktronics helped to achieve the goals of SBB in a timely and flexible manner.
SBB visited Daktronics facilities in Brookings, South Dakota, USA, in order to perform a formal audit to fully understand the production process of their products and the details of their specific project.
Rolf Bauer, Daktronics Regional Manager, said:
"This is a very exciting project for Daktronics and we are pleased to provide SBB industry-leading solutions to assist commuters in receiving up-to-date, accurate information.
"During testing phases, Daktronics was able to display everything SBB asked for and according to their specifications, providing them with confidence in our products. Daktronics will also provide SBB a lower total cost of ownership for the lifetime of the displays."
The installation at Lucerne Station extends the Daktronics and SBB partnership of delivering quality LED display products in a timely manner to help the communication efforts at SBB's railway stations.
It also continues the versatile communication the LED system allows, not to mention the return on investment LED provides by working together with an OOH (out-of-home) company that is promoting advertising content on the LED installations.

- Late moult timing of the primaries. In this individual, one old outer primary P10 is still present, and only P7 is full grown. P8 - P9 still growing.
- Most reliable feature for heuglini might be the bill, which can look very cachinnans-like: slender, without a clear gonydeal angle, pale yellow. The gonydeal spot is often rather orange-red, not as deep coral red as in western LBBG taxa. This, together with the sloped head remind of cachinnans. The pale red / orange gonydeal spot is obvious in this bird.


The center altar of the left transept was dedicated to St. Joseph, Mary's husband, and blessed by Pope John XXIII on March 19, 1963.
Originally on this altar was a painting of 1630 by Agostino Ciampelli representing saints Simon and Jude. In February 1814 it was replaced by the mosaic after Guido Reni's Crucifixion of Saint Peter, which previously had been in the sacristy. The dedication of the altar to saints Simon and Jude was then memorialized by two mosaic ovals representing the saints on the walls on the sides of the altar... Crucifixion of Saint Peter was in turn replaced by Saint Joseph, which had been commissioned by Pope John XXIII. The painting by Achille Funi was presented to the mosaic studio in 1961. The mosaic by Virgilio Cassio, Odoardo Anselmi, Silvio Secchi, Fabrizio Parsi, and Giulio Perificati was placed on the altar in 1963.

Living Local: A Table of Contents
Globablization is destroying our planet, our health, our humanity, and our connection to all three.
Western society, as we know it, cannot last. It is designed to be consumed and thrown to the refuse. Since this is inevitable, we should choose another path - a way that will last, a way that will not burn out. This would be a resetting of society so that fewer resources are used, so that those resources would be readily reused and current resources would be restored. So that our earth would be nurtured rather than destroyed.
from: EcoSalon
And how would we do this? By living locally and organically. By being in true community.
By living locally and communally, we can fix much of what is wrong with most of our problems: poverty and unemployment, wealth inequity, energy resources, food shortages and disparity of healthy food, water shortages and privatization, toxicity and waste, violence, health and medical attention, homelessness, and so on.
For the next month and beyond, I'd like to open a discussion of what that could look like. An outlining of a vision that I've heard glimpses and whispers of for the last several years, that others have experimented with, that still others are deeply theorizing about. But I would just like to open a dialogue with those who are tired of the system playing as the system and maybe ignite some hearts and minds.
After all, I believe that localization will be the most important movement of the next fifty years.

Pot Call Chief
I informed my readers yesterday that I grew up in a gang-banging neighborhood. This particular neighborhood, Humboldt Park, was notorious for its gang-banging culture. Most high-poverty areas around the city had a couple gangs vying for turf, or if it was within a high-density poverty area (such as the projects) maybe factions within a certain gang (each building within Cabrini Green was administered by a different tribe within the Gangster Disciples gang). My neighborhood had about a dozen or so gangs, always at war or uneasy peace with each other.
They fought for pride, for turf, for money to be made from selling illicit drugs. On my block the Spanish Cobras were selling weed. They were hanging out on our front porch, though we hardly knew any of them. There was little chance to get to know them. The cops would come by weekly, pick them up and scatter them, and then the replacements would come in. The next stage of low-paid, low-skilled cog-workers in a big ol' machine. (They were also on the verge of hanging on for dear life - but they weren't aware of it at the time.) It seemed like every time I walked home from school, some newbie on the corner was asking me if I wanted Bo (mary jane).
Me, I never tried it. Never liked any forms of drugs. Haven't had my first drink until I turned 30 and just about finished my first (hell-ish) year of school. Never been drunk; rarely had two beers in a day, and usually only drink once a week. That's how much I hate drugs. I really wanted to burn down much of my town in high school because I saw what drugs were doing to my neighborhood and alcohol (a legal drug with far worse repercussions) was doing to my dad.
So, I - an Evangelical Christian, furthermore - say this with a lot of thought put into it. We need to decriminalize marijuana and rethink our approach to other drugs (here I'm thinking specifically of heroin and heroin treatment).
I don't think - unlike Ron Paulian libertarians and other smoke-infested conservatives - that it will be an economic engine for the US, nor that it'll free minorities from the lingering effects of racism.
In fact, the same systemic racism that is imprisoning more black men now than were slaves at the high point of US slavery will still be in effect - it just won't be as devastating.
I've been thinking about this recently in response to the altpaper Chicago Reader's series of articles on decriminalization and racial disparity. From the first, The Grass Gap:
Marijuana is illegal. Yet studies show—and come on, everybody knows—that it's widely used by all racial groups. By and large, however, black people are disproportionately getting busted for it.
The ratio of black to white arrests for marijuana possession in Chicago is 15 to 1, according to a Reader analysis of police and court data. And by the time the cases make their way through the court system, the gap widens even further: the ratio among those who plead or are found guilty is 40 to 1.
Here's another way to look at it: almost nine of every ten people who end up guilty of possessing marijuana in Chicago—86 percent, to be precise—are black men.
The racial gap has become so glaring that Cook County Board president Toni Preckwinkle says something has to change, if only because taxpayers can't afford to continue arresting, detaining, and prosecuting low-level marijuana offenders. In an interview last week, Preckwinkle, for the first time, said what no other high-ranking local official has dared: "I think we should decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, that's for sure."
"You fit the description." My friends joke about this, but that's because it's how we face the ugly realities of injustice sometimes.
"Got pulled over for a DWB."
That may decrease. It won't end. There will be other excuses. Broken windows, after all... (Which is the theory the current mayor says he believes in. That cracking down on the littlest signs of a broken system will prevent crime. That's, of course, bass-ackwards.) But it will help.
The second article is here and the third here.

We Like Black Nerds
I never really fit into any group that I was around. I was a tall, lanky, freckle-faced white dude with a Puerto Rican grandmother in a predominately Puerto Rican and black neighborhood. And I couldn't speak a lingua of Spanish. I liked comic books and weird alternative rock music while my neighbors were into (though I'm not sure how much they liked) gang-banging and surviving.
Yet, I had friends throughout school. And, more importantly to me, I was able to pass through all the different cliques and hang with them for short periods of time - but I never really fit in.
That's what being a nerd is about. Not fitting in.
Even if you're going to a high school full of other intellectual nerds, but you still don't necessarily fit in (though, thank goodness, you're not necessarily picked on or bullied... excessively), then you're definitely a nerd.
A nerd is those of us who like things that other people surrounding us don't care for - crime novels, comic books, sci-fi movies, music from other cultures, role-playing, obscure music, blogs, games, out-of-fashion clothes - and who have a certain affinity and familiarity with one or more of the above, and are at least a bit socially awkward. That's the essence of being a nerd.
And that's okay.
It gets better.
Honestly, nobody really cares about that after high school, unless your work environment or social circle is a lot like high school. But one thing we do care for is black nerds. By "we" I mean, of course, "White People". As in, "Stuff White People Like." Which is, honestly, a small portion of most white folk; it's those of us who got our degrees in the social sciences, who listen to public radio, who are not just urbanized but cosmopolitan (or at least that's how we like to think of ourselves), who shop at Whole Foods and wrestle over fair trade jeans.
It must be. Because I know it's not just me who is fascinated with black nerds.
We like Chris Rock. Though, as one of my best friends pointed out this week, no black people find him funny. He went to all-white schools.
We listen to Larry Wilmore semi-scarily lecture Jon Stewart about what black people are like and what they like. But he's a complete nerd.
We watch Spike Lee movies, and we may give him some credit when he speaks. But we're never quite sure. Again, nerd. Glasses, lanky, the whole bit.
Cornel West and Tavis Smiley are also complete nerds - but I love them. Even though a new Facebook friend called them sell-outs (not because they're nerds. But because they regularly diss President Obama in the hopes, she believes and it seems justified, to sell books).
And then there's Hannibal Buress. Whom I adore.
And he's from Chicago's South Side. But he couldn't make it in the South Side of Chicago. He had to travel up to our North Side, with the white audiences who appreciate slower comedy styles. And - let it be said - black nerds.
My most recent thoughts on all things black and nerdy was prompted by this post by Honoree Fanone Jeffers and a day spent in awe of Buress, the Awkward Black Girl webisodes, and, to a lesser extent, Donald Glover.
Of course, the black nerd is more than just some link between us white tote-bagging, shared-transit, This American Life-listening nerds and the black populace (Exotic Other). It's not that they connect with us white nerds because they're somehow less black. But rather, we connect with them because we see us in them - someone who's been rejected by their peers, who was denied an identification, but who has turned to (either as a result or as a causation factor) books and obscure pop culture references for escape and comfort and belonging.

Are Capitalism and Democracy Compatible?
Image courtesy of SFWeekly
This is part one of a series on local sustainability.
Capitalism is an economic system that is, by definition, run and controlled by the few.
Not too long ago, businessmen (such as Henry Ford) and most economic theorists (Keynes and his followers) understood that this system could become bloated, unworkable, and cannibalistic if it wasn't controlled to some extent by other factors, such as living wages and governmental oversight. Over the last thirty years, though, there's been a systematic undermining of those protections (or, limitations, according to the dismantlers). Wealth disparity is at an odds, and the US - through recession and bull and bear markets and this Great Recession - no longer has a fair economy.
When few people hold most of resources - most of the jobs, most of the money, most of the land in the land - those few people run the country. They control the use of resources. They control the options for well-paying, living-wage jobs. The opportunities to eat well and with comfort. The ability to be housed. To be insured against calamity or disease. The ease and access to transport.
When those few people run the country, the fate of the rest of the country rests not on the strength of the country as a whole, but on those few people. It is no longer a democracy. It is an plutarchy - control by the few wealthy for the purpose and benefit of the few wealthy.
And the hope of salvaging the country is lost when the elected and governing powers are also given to the elites. Thanks in part to rulings such as Citizens United and loopholes such as Super PACs (both were corporations and individuals are allowed to put as much money to use for whatever political purpose they choose with close to no oversight), those with the most money are now given unrestricted power to publicize the very politicians that they handpick, and therefore have unprecedented access to those politicians. When the electoral process is largely a popularity contest, the one with the most publicity wins - not the best or the most effective official, but the one with name recognition.
Even prior to CU, the big firms (whether they be agriculture or financial or oil-based) were already writing their own rules within Washington. But now, the American people have been locked out of not just the Republican base (despite the claims of the Tea Party-led pols), but the so-called Party of the People, the Democrats.
Why? Because a few people (and corporations) have access to nearly uncountable funds. Funds that we are told are used for job creation and research and development and are, therefore, untouchable. The more money they make, we are told again and again by (vocally by one party, but the message is reinforced through mainstream media and the "other" party's actions and legislation), the better chance we have to end this recession and enter into another period of unparalleled prosperity.
But that will not happen. The previous period of unparalleled prosperity neglected about a third of the US population - who couldn't even afford basic medical insurance, who lacked food security, who spent over half their income on simple rent alone, who wouldn't be able to afford their children without the basic governmental aid that is right now - yet again - being threatened.
And there is very little room for new job creation - but plenty of job loss. The old jobs of manufacturing are gone - to other countries whose infrastructures are purposefully being wrecked in order to provide cheaper workers. And the jobs of the service economy are also quickly leaving.
Capitalism needs for a few people - a fraction of a fraction of the population - to amass enough wealth and therefore make the important decisions of what should be funded - capitalism thrives on the fact that a few people are good with oddly abstract concepts like "wealth creation" and "economic growth." In order to continue in their positions of economic power, those same individuals need to make decisions to keep the growth going and the accumulated capital back to themselves. And they have full power within the legislative, executive, and judicial branches to continue this for as long as they would like.
It all sounds like a scam to me. And perhaps it is. The most complex, perpetual pyramid scheme ever.
And maybe that's why citizens are disengaged from politics and from business success. Maybe that's why we're all checking Facebook and playing Mafia Wars all day long. What else is left for us? No job is secure. And despite the protests of a good friend last night, no industry is safe.
The one-third working poor minority is growing, and more and more Americans are becoming either unemployed or underemployed - as well as those who are not even counted anymore and those who are feeding their families on minimum wages.
The ideal situation is to share the wealth, for all to have a say in how the businesses of running the country and smaller businesses are run - but in a way that is protective of all. If the ownership of a business, for instance, were equally shared (instead of the disproportion that we see in the case of stockholders), the owners of that business would all have equal say in how the business was run. Likewise, they would all want that business to run well, for they all have equal stake in the success of that business.
Their work would be more meaningful to their own success.
Next, if none of the industries are safe, what is there left to share?

Home Star Plus Anupama Anupama 4th October 2021 Written Update Bhoomi Pujan
Anupama 4th October 2021 Written Update Bhoomi Pujan
Dikshita Harpalani
Anupama 4th October 2021 Written Update Bhoomi Pujan Anupama sweetly offers the sweets to Leela. She shows the invite to Leela. Kavya finds the card very expensive. She tells this to Vanraj. Anupama tells that she isn't doing anything that would leave Leela upset. She wants her family to be with her when she takes the first step towards a new life. Leela learns that Anupama has prepared the halwa in Anuj's house in his kitchen. She refuses to have the halwa, when Anupama had made it in a stranger's kitchen. Anupama tries to avoid the arguments. She lets go everything and asks Leela to just accept the invite. She tells that they will be going in the Bhoomi pujan with the entire family.
Leela tears the card and attempts to tear Anupama's dreams. She asks Anupama if she got everything from Mumbai, and left her shame there. She rebukes Anupama for giving her such a card where Anupama's name is printed with a stranger. She declares that nobody will be attending the Bhoomi pujan. Anupama gets distressed. She takes the torn card and joins it back. She doesn't let anyone break down her dreams and hopes. She wants her family to be with her. She just seeks their support, but Leela and Vanraj make it too difficult for her.
Moreover, Anuj understands how difficult it is for Anupama to convince her family, especially when Vanraj is there to spread the dirty thinking around. He doesn't want any wrong talks about Anupama, which could spoil her day. Anuj awaits Anupama for the Bhoomi pujan, while Leela hinders the latter. What will happen when a twist strikes Anupama again? Keep reading.
Vanraj checks the invitation card. He reads the names of Anupama and Anuj connected, like Anupama Anuj Kapadia. Kavya taunts Anupama for being so lucky. Vanraj berates Anupama for getting involved with Anuj. He tells that Anuj has a dirty sight and intentions. Anupama tells that Vanraj's thinking is dirty, he didn't see the And between the names. Vanraj taunts that their names will be connected soon. She knows that he is angry seeing her name printed, which he never let shine till now. She taunts him back for his jealousy. Anupama makes the entire day's plans and gets too happy, until Leela tears her dreams.
Anupama 4th October 2021 Full Written Update:
Baa asks Anupama to keep the card away from her. Vanraj snatches the card and says he will see what it is. He reads the invitation by Anupama Anuj Kapadia. This shocks everyone, especially Baa. Kavya puts fuel in the fire saying that Anupama and Anuj's relationship has reached this level. She also calls Anupama very lucky. Vanraj gets angry and says how dare Anuj publish Anupama's name on the invitation card. He also says that Anuj's intentions are so wrong. Anupama gives Vanraj a befitting reply saying that his vision is low. She asks Vanraj can't he see "and/&" between Anupma and Anuj Kapadia.
Anupama scolds Vanraj saying his thoughts are so low as he repeats the same thing about her and Anuj again and again. Vanraj says that now only names have joined, in future they may get together. Anupama replies that they never came close, even when their names were joined together. She reminds Vanraj that he never published her anime on any card in the past. She tells him that he is angry just seeing her name published, not because her name got published with Anuj. Anupama also says to Vanraj that he is not able to accept her name suddenly coming up, which was hidden behind his name.
She takes the card back from Vanraj. Anupama invites Baa to come with her to the Bhoomi Poojan of her and Anuj's new 5-star hotel. She tells Baa that she has to wear her new saari and they have to leave at 9 am. She also tells Baa that she will finish all the work till 9 am and they will return hearing Hanuman Ji's katha. Baa takes the and tears it, hurting Anupama. This satisfies Vanraj's ego. Kinjal asks Baa why she tore the card, the latter asks the former to shut. Samar too asks the same thing. Mamaji says that his sister does this when she gets irritated. Baa shuts Mamaji too.
She scolds Anupama, says how dare she give her the card on which her name got published with a strange man. Anupama asks why she is angry as business cards have all partners' names on them. She tells Baa that she will wait for her next morning. Baa asks will she go even after hearing this. Anupama apologizes to Baa and says that she will surely go. Bapuji says to Baa that if Vanraj would have got the same partnership, she would have told the whole neighbourhood. He also tells Baa that she has regarded Anupama as a daughter but never accepted her as a daughter.
Anupama collects the pieces of her card. She again tells Baa that she will wait until next morning at 9 am. Baa orders everyone that nobody will go to pooja next morning. Bapuji, Mamaji and Kinjal say they will go to the pooja with Samar and Pakhi. Mamaji says to Baa that respect can be snatched away just like it is earned. Baa gets angry and asks Mamaji will he tell her what is right and what is wrong. Mamaji replies to her to learn about right and wrong from Anupama. He supports Anupama saying that she never did anything wrong. He says Anupama is doing the right thing.
This shocks Baa and Vanraj. Everyone except Vanraj, Kavya and Baa leaves. Kavya instigates Baa and Vanraj saying that Anuj and Anupama love story is going on fast track. She further says that they may attend Anuj and Anupama's wedding next week. Vanraj gets angry at Kavya. She further puts the fuel in the fire saying that six of the family members are supporting Anupama. On the other side, Anuj and GK discuss what all would have happened with Anupama. GK asks Anuj to propose to Anupama the next day in the pooja.
He tells Anuj to eat less as he is getting fat. Anuj wonders if he has started looking fat? He praises food made by Anupama and says that he cannot stop. GK tells him that a happy man is one who gets fat eating the food made by wife. He tells Anuj that eating excess food made by wife is a good thing and an indication of a happy man. Anuj asks really. He says he is feeling happy and satisfied these days. GK says if Anupama is present, then there is happiness, satisfaction and smile. Anuj thinks that he is happy, not Anupama. He hopes that Anupama is smiling.
On the other hand, Anupama joins all the pieces of her torn card. She gives herself the strength saying that her journey is seeming difficult as its new, she will get habitual of it. She also thinks that everything will get better soon. Next morning, Devika and GK tease Anuj with Anupama's name indirectly. They tease him further saying that they can see his happiness. He requests them to not create any mess in front of Shahs. They promised they will not create any mess. They joke with Anuj taking Anupama's name. Anupama arrives with her family. Anuj feels mesmerized by Anupama's arrival. He thinks of a lovely shayari. Anupama and shahs meet everyone present at Anuj's house.
Pakhi says that Anupama and Anuj have worn the same colored clothes. Anupama too gets surprised. Anuj shows Anupama the map of their project. They look cute while talking and "Tumse Mila" song from the film Tere Naam plays in the background. He asks Anupama for a selfie. Anuj says that the media wants it. Anupama permits him to do it. Anupama praises the selfie and she asks him to send it to Samar. At Shah house Kavya again tries to fuel Baa and Vanraj's anger by speaking against Anupama using Rakhi Dave's name. Vanraj asks Kavya to not take Rakhi's name in the house.
Baa worries thinking of seeing Anupama and Anuj's name together. Kavya says their name will come in the news too. Baa asks Vanraj to do something. Vanraj asks Baa, what can he do. A courier arrives at Shah house. Vanraj receives it and gets angry. He says the person should have done this. In the pooja, Anuj asks Samar what happened? Samar hugs Anuj. He thanks Anuj for giving respect to his mother (Anupama). Anuj says his mother was too important to him. Samar further thanks Anuj for fulfilling Anupama's dream by giving her the opportunity. Anuj says it's all Anupama's efforts, she is fulfilling her dreams.
Samar asks a promise from Anuj to always support Anupama. Anuj promises Samar the same. Samar gets cheered and hugs Anuj and Anupama smiles seeing it. Mamaji jokes with GK. GK asks why Leela has not come with everyone. Bapuji says she is busy with some work. Kinjal thanks Devika for being Anupama's great, encouraging and supportive friend. Devika teases Anupama. Anuj and Anupama start the Pooja. Vanraj, Kavya and Baa reach there. Vanraj sees Anupama and Anuj performing the pooja together and recalls his past pooja with Anupama. Anuj and Anupama see them.
In the next episode, Anuj and Anupama put their hand prints using sindoor together on a paper. Panditji says that they will have to be together in every happiness and sorrow related to business. The paper flies and ruins Vanraj's shirt. This angers Vanraj. Kavya hopes Vanraj doesn't create any drama.

This name definitely described exactly what your body feels like after using this product. pure silk!
Monoi Butter: this butter is made of the essence of the tropical Tiare flower that is famous for its aromatherapy action.
Palm Butter: This butter has great antioxidant power and has a very high content of tocopherols.
Watermelon Seed Oil - this oil is highly nutritious and is light and a great skin moisturizer.
Rice Bran Oil - is rich in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants that boosts the skin's natural regeneration process. It can help to renew and improve the skin's surface which in turns slows down and prevent the aging process.
Silk Amino Acids - Known to penetrate into the upper layers of the skin which draws moisture into the areas, improving skin hydration.
Bih, this butter is so smooth it becomes a part of my skin's essence as I apply it. I got it scented with Egyptian Musk and I can't finish putting it on before my wife gets turned on by the scent and wants to lick it off, but Cedes told us it's not edible so we stay trying to act right and not ingest too much. It is my favorite so far and works best with my skin. All I need now is an automatic reorder option so I never get low!
The Palinoi body custard is very light and creamy. I ordered mine with a baby powder scent which I really like. The smell is light and airy like baby powder and is not overpowering at all. This custard leaves my skin smooth and soft and smelling good. The custards texture is light as well, this is not a heavy cream and will be perfect for the summer. Overall I really like the Palinoi Silk Body Custard.
I've been a long time customer but first time buyer of the silk custard and I'm just as impressed with this product as the others it has such light finish but still very moisturizing and I absolutely LOVE the smell of the almond scent (my boyfriend does too!) I will most definitely keep this as a staple!
Love the consistency of this body custard. It's hydrating while not being overly greasy and the Pina colada scent is everything!! Definitely purchasing again.
