Sarasvati, Dayananda
Dayananda Sarasvati
BORN: 1824 • Tankara, India
DIED: October 30, 1883 • Ajmir, India
Indian religious reformer
Dayananda Sarasvati (often spelled Saraswati) was a leading Hindu ascetic, or person who gives up worldly comforts to live in poverty, in nineteenth-century India. He is best known as an aggressive reformer who urged Hindus to return to the traditions and principles in the Vedas, the Hindu sacred scripture. He was also the founder of the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement. This organization played a major role in the growth of Indian nationalism. At the time of Dayananda Sarasvati's birth, India was a British colony, but his Arya Samaj and other organizations encouraged the desire among Indians to achieve independence from Great Britain.
"Every living being has a soul which deserves affection; in every human being there is a soul worthy of respect. Any one who does not know this basic principle cannot understand the true meaning of the Vedic religion."
Birth and early life
Sarasvati was born as Mula Sankara in 1824, in Tankara, a city in the modern-day Indian state of Gujarat. He came from a wealthy Brahminfamily. Brahmins are the highest Indian caste, or social hereditary class, which consists of religious leaders, teachers, and intellectuals. Sankara received an education both in orthodox (traditional) Hinduism and in the Sanskrit language, the historical literary language of the religion.
Hindu religious practice often involves presenting a statue or other image, representing a Hindu god or goddess, with offerings such as fruit and water. (While Hinduism has many gods, all are considered to be manifestations, or forms, of the one God, Brahma.) According to one story, when Sankara was fourteen he made a visit with his father to a Hindu temple. During the night he saw mice running over the image of the Hindu god Shiva because they were attracted by the offerings of food placed before it. Sankara was disturbed by this and turned away from worship that involved images. Even as a youngster, then, he began to question Hindu practices that he later came to believe they were not part of true, historical Hinduism.
Sankara had many doubts about his religion. When a beloved uncle died five years after the incident at the temple, he began to search for a path that humans could follow to overcome their mortality (death). Hindus believe in reincarnation, an ongoing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth that in effect traps the human soul in the material world. In an attempt to escape that trap, Sankara began to practice yoga, an intensely focused mental, spiritual, and physical discipline that some believe can lead to enlightenment and spiritual salvation, or release from the cycle of death and rebirth, called samsara. In 1843 Sankara fled his home, fearing that his family would arrange a marriage for him. He became a member of the wandering order of monks called the Sarasvatis, taking the name of the order as his own.
The wandering ascetic and crusader
Dayananda Sarasvati spent nearly twenty-five years, from 1845 to 1869, as a wandering ascetic, searching for religious truth. An ascetic is someone who gives up material goods and lives a life of self-denial, devoted to spiritual matters. He lived in jungles, in retreats in the Himalayan Mountains, and at a number of pilgrimage sites in northern India. During these years Dayananda Sarasvati practiced various forms of yoga. He became a disciple, or follower, of a well-known religious teacher, Swami Birajananda (sometimes spelled Virajananda). Birajananda believed that Hinduism had strayed from its historical roots and that many of its practices had become impure. Dayananda Sarasvati promised Birajananda that he would devote his life to restoring the rightful place of the Vedas in the Hindu faith.
He kept his vow to Birajananda and became a religious crusader. Leaving behind the quiet, private existence he had led up to this time, Dayananda Sarasvati entered public life and began to develop his views about reforming Hinduism. His goal was to urge Hindus to turn away from worship involving images and to place their entire faith in the truth of the Vedas. He began to gain some recognition after he took part in a public debate with traditional Hindu scholars in the city of Benares. The subject of the debate was the authority of the Vedas. This debate was conducted by the maharaja, or ruler, of Benares, who came to share Dayananda Sarasvati's views. Through the support of the influential maharaja, Dayananda Sarasvati and his views became more widely known throughout the region.
The early 1870s were an important period in Dayananda Sarasvati's life. By this time he had abandoned the life of a wandering ascetic. He lived among and had close contact with many of the Hindu Brahmins in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata). Prior to his arrival in the city, he had worn only a loincloth (a cloth covering just the middle portion of his body) and had preached in the Sanskrit language. His supporters in Calcutta urged him to go about fully clothed. They also recommended he preach and lecture in Hindi rather than Sanskrit, since Hindi was the language of the majority of the population, while Sanskrit was spoken only by the educated few. Dayananda Sarasvati followed their advice and was able to reach a much wider audience. In the years that followed, he continued to lecture and hold public debates not only with Hindus but with Christians and Muslims as well.
The Light of Truth
Two important events in Dayananda Sarasvati's life occurred in 1875. The first of these was the publication of his book Sathyartha Prakasha (Light of Truth). This was Dayananda Sarasvati's most important published work. In the book, he outlined his beliefs in a very brief and direct way. For example, he wrote, "I hold that the four Vedas … are the Word of God…. They are absolutely free from error, and are an authority unto themselves."
Dayananda Sarasvati argued that the commentaries on and additions to the Vedas over the centuries were not true Hindu teachings. To find the truth of Hinduism, he claimed, one had only to read the original Vedas. He also restated his belief in such principles as the eternal nature of God, rebirth, and moksha, the liberation of the soul from the cycle of reincarnation.
Arya Samaj
In 1875 Sarasvati also formed the Arya Samaj, which can be translated into English as "Society of Aryans." The Aryans were speakers of an original, unrecorded Indo-European language from which many of the languages spoken in Europe and Central Asia are descended. Thousands of years ago the Aryans moved eastward into the Indian subcontinent. The Arya Samaj is a sect of Hinduism that preaches Dayananda Sarasvati's view that the Vedas are the only real source of God's truth and that all other developments in the faith since the time the Vedas were revealed are false.
The Arya Samaj opposes ancestor worship, the sacrifice of animals, religious beliefs and practices that do not originate in the Vedas, and the caste, or social class, system. It also rejects the notion of "untouchability," which refers to the lowest caste of Indian society, the Untouchables, who perform such tasks as disposing of waste and dead animals. The sect is also against child marriage, offerings made to the gods in temples, pilgrimages, and the belief that priests hold some sort of secret wisdom. The Arya Samaj upholds belief in karma (the idea that a person's actions affect his or her destiny), reincarnation, and the important role of samskaras, or individual sacraments (rites or rituals). There are sixteen such sacraments marking important stages in a person's life, ending with the final funeral rites.
The Vedas
The Vedas, Hinduism's sacred scripture, consist principally of a large number of hymns or songs. These hymns were composed by early Hindu wise men who, according to traditional belief, heard them in ecstatic (highly emotional and trancelike) visions. Most scholars date the Vedas at about 1500 to 1200 bce, although some claim they are even older and were written around 5000 or 7000 bce. One of the Vedas, called the Rig Veda, may date from as far back as 12,000 bce.
The Vedas were transmitted orally from teachers to students. They are often referred to as sruti, a word that means "that which is heard." Many of these teachers and students were able to memorize thousands of lines of text. The Vedas encompass all spiritual knowledge and detail rituals, philosophies, and other practices. Devout Hindus see the Vedas as timeless and authorless. According to this belief, they did not come from the hand of humans. They represent an eternal wisdom that appears anew with each new cycle of history.
The group was, and continues to be, a force for social change in Indian society. The Arya Samaj has supported many programs of reform. It opposes discrimination against women and supports education for both men and women. To that end, it has built a network of schools and institutions of higher learning. It also defends marriages between members of different castes, a practice discouraged by traditional Indians. In addition, the Arya Samaj has built missions, orphanages, and homes for widows, and has carried out medical work and famine relief (help for those suffering from a severe food shortage).
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the Arya Samaj also supported Indian independence from Great Britain. During the remainder of his life Dayananda Sarasvati challenged Indians to be more aggressive against British rule. He called for armed revolution against the British, as well as against Christian missionaries in India. At the same time he expressed admiration for European civilization. He believed that the nations of Europe were advanced because they had representative governments, a system of education, and networks of trade. Dayananda Sarasvati's goal for India was realized when the country became independent from Great Britain in 1947.
Dayananda Sarasvati continued to preach his views for the remainder of his life. He engaged Christians and Muslims in debate and gained a reputation for being an opponent of those religions. He also offended orthodox, or traditional, Hindus because he challenged their views. Several attempts were made on his life.
In 1883 Dayananda Sarasvati was a guest of the maharaja of Jodhpur. The maharaja led a life of worldly pleasure, and Dayananda Sarasvati advised him to change his ways and seek purity and discipline in his life. Some of the members of the maharaja's court were offended by Dayananda Sarasvati's boldness. It is believed that they poisoned him on the night of October 30, 1883. The accusation, however, was never proven, and the cause of Dayananda Sarasvati's death remains a mystery.

Visit Vrhnika, the town where the oldest known wooden wheel in the world was found, where Ivan Cankar, 'Slovenian Kafka', was born and where you will enjoy delicious cuisine, try locally roasted coffee, brewed beer and the most amazing 'Vrhnika štruklji'. Before or after (or in-between) these gourmet delights you will be able to discover numerous hiking, walking and cycling trails near the center of the town.
Looking for some inspiration for a short trip or maybe a vacation? Why not visit Vrhnika? This small town, located 20 kilometers to the west of Ljubljana, is connected to Slovenia's capital by Ljubljanica, an intermittent karst river that flows underground for a distance before it re-emerges (vrh-nikne in Slovenian) on the surface near Vrhnika and, by doing so, gives the town its name.
Vrhnika is a starting point for numerous hiking, walking, and cycling trails. Planina Hill, which you can admire ever from the town's center, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Ljubljana area.
Ljubljanica springs are divided in three major groups: Močilnik, Retovje and Bistra, but you can also discover many other springs, wells and affluents near the town. You can sightsee the springs on your own and choose one or more of the existing trails. But you are also able to join an organized tour; experienced guides will turn these already interesting paths into an adventure, where you will discover the legend of the Argonauts. According to Greek mythology, Greek heroes, the Argonauts, disassembled their ship at Vrhnika and carried it on their shoulders to the Adriatic Sea.
River of Seven Names, as Ljubljanica is also known, greatly influenced town's long and important past. Stroll through different periods of Vrhnika's history, from prehistoric times to the present day at Ljubljanica River Exhibition. Learn the story of the town where the oldest known wooden wheel in the world was found, old as 5,200 years. The town where, at the bottom of Ljubljanica, one of the longest logboats in Europe was discovered, dating back to Roman times. The exhibition will impress you and you'll be wowed by the mosaic wall, which exhibits a significant part of the famous Potočnik Family Collection (archeological findings from Ljubljanica).
Take a journey from the old times to the present day, when Vrhnika is one of the 'greenest' municipalities in the country and when it attracts its visitors with numerous opportunities to discover both nature and culture. Learn about what it is that makes Vrhnika so remarkable – apart from the fact that it is the birthplace of one of the greatest masters of the Slovenian language, Ivan Cankar (1876–1918). He has been referred to as 'the Slovenian Kafka' and is particularly famous for his sketch story A Cup of Coffee. You can also get a feel of Cankar's period by visiting Cankar Memorial House, an important cultural monument of the city center of Vrhnika. It is located on the site where once stood a wooden, thatched cottage, in which Cankar was born. At the guided tour through the house you will listen to the stories about young 'Ivanček' and the great man he grew up to be.
Vrhnika is a starting point for numerous hiking, walking, and cycling trails. Planina Hill, which you can admire ever from the town's center, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Ljubljana area. After you conquer the 400 m ascent and climb up the 22 m high wooden lookout tower, you are rewarded with the most beautiful view. On a clear day the view extends all the way to the highest Slovenian mountain, Mount Triglav in the Alps. At the lodge you can enjoy refreshments as you plan your next activities.
These activities should include visiting the Technical Museum of Slovenia, country's largest museum. This is a place where technical heritage and nature tell countless stories. It is located at a former Carthusian monastery and is known for its permanent and occasional collections from agriculture, fishing, wildlife and hunting to electricity, wood working, forestry, water driving machinery, textiles and printing.
As for when to visit – the town is lovely every day of the year, but is best visited in June, when it hosts the Argonaut Days Festival. The Argonauts, Medea and Jason return to Vrhnika sometime in the middle of the month. You can meet them at the grand opening of the festival or at individual events later. The festival program is designed in the sense of "something for everyone" and includes more than 40 cultural, ethnological and gastronomical events as well as entertainment, children's and sporting events.
Visit Vrhnika and see for yourself what the town's slogan 'Nearby. Green. Interesting. Remarkable.' is all about. And when visiting Vrhnika, make sure to enjoy a Cankar's Cup of Coffe, made from a superior blend of coffee roasted locally, or if you prefer, a glass of beer brewed by the local Human Fish Brewery. And not to forget – the town is known for its delicious 'Vrhnika štruklji' – rolled prune dumplings, which will please even the most demanding gourmet. Travel to Vrhnika and try them for yourself..

Racist anti-white male TV ads
Thread starter Libsmasher
Most people on the west coast have seen the "WaMu" racist TV ads. If you haven't, here are two examples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZnPvOn0jz8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha0cg7LkQ2w&feature=related
This was a series of at least ten "stodgy banker" ads run by Washington Mutual Bank (they shrank it to "WaMu" because they were after minorities business in the last five years, and figured those folks would have a hard time getting their mouths around "Washington Mutual") in which a hip young with-it black male banker gives lectures to about 30 old stodgy bankers, every last one a white male, who are made to look foolish. This was just a recent example of what I've seen for the last several years not only in TV ads, but print ads, TV shows, and Hollywood - white males are made to look old, clumsy, out of it, asexual, unfashionable, and stupid, etc. Black males, on the other hand, especially, are shown just the opposite. I am not talking about every single media occurrence - but I am talking about the overwhelming majority.
The Wamu stodgy white bankers ads stopped after Wamu nearly collapsed, because its stupid lending practices (a very large amount for subprime loans to minorities) ended up with it closing many branches, firing thousands of workers, dumping its CEO, and nearly being acquired by JPMorgan (which is REALLY being hoisted on their own petard - there is no more stodgy bank ).
Apparently they didn't mind appearing racist before, after they didn't want to look foolish.
Here's a few recent TV "gems" you may have seen:
In a revival of their "priceless" schtick, they show a white guy biking down a hill flip upside down and crash - a black guy with a white female look on sneeringly. Then it shows the guy upending a sailboat, and finally in a dude ranch being thrown by a horse.
24 Hour Fitness:
It shows three people and shows how they've been improved by going to the gym (approximate narrative):
Voiceover: "Enrico can do more pushups."
Shows a young hispanic male rapidly whipping out pushups.
Voiceover: "Jennifer is back to kayaking."
Young white woman kayaking expertly down a river.
Voiceover: "George can tie his own shoes."
Shows a fat slobby older white male in an easy chair grinning.
The people's republic of Eugene
Libsmasher said:
It's true, and what is more sad is no one will do anything about it or care. The wamu ads were also an attack on republicans. At least the people who created the ads idea of what they thought a republican was.
In general white men are demonized as stupid lazy greedy idiots who can only learn from either a child or a minority.
Some things are ok to make fun of openly and if you say it's wrong then gosh you really are over reacting. Old people, fat people, Christian people. People must just like to have someone to pick on; when it was not ok to pick on minorities anymore they replaced that with white men.
NO Obamanation said:
It's true, and what is more sad is no one will do anything about it or care.
The "not do anything" is clear - but not the "not care". WHY is it do you think, that white males are discriminated against in employment etc, and ridiculed by the media, and some don't care?? I sure as hell care. Are many of them brainwashed to think it's "OK"?
The wamu ads were also an attack on republicans. At least the people who created the ads idea of what they thought a republican was.
While it is true that old people, fat people, rural and southern people are ridiculed all the time, the two groups that it is particularly offensive that they are held up to ridicule by the lib media is christians and white males, because there is an undertone of bigotry against the former, and one of political destruction and group identity defamation against the latter. Imagine ANY of that crap directed at the lib establishment's most favored group - black males. Within seconds they'd scream to high heaven, and anyone within fifty yards would get fired.

they shrank it to "WaMu" because they were after minorities business in the last five years, and figured those folks would have a hard time getting their mouths around "Washington Mutual"
Thats racism mate, watch it. Thanks.
9sublime said:
The people you should tell to watch it is "Wamu" - the people whose reasoning led to their ridiculous new name.
ilikeboobs
Up your butt, Jobu.
You're right, it is, but I think he's referring to the WaMu corporate lackeys as the racists for thinking minorities aren't smart enough to annunciate Washington Mutual.
Back to topic - this has been going on for years. Look at your TV shows, your movies, commercials (obviously). Men, almost always white, are shown to be the idiots. Dads are morons. White male coworkers are always the dumbest. The list is endless.
Big business is too afraid of ridiculous lawsuits and too afraid to potentially offend any minorities for fear of Jesse-Jackson-Type protests. I guess I don't blame them, but at the same time you're insulting white men. It's ok to insult some but not others? I've lived with this in another form, too, as a Catholic for quite awhile - it's always ok to bash Catholics, but any bashing of jews is anti-semitic, and any bashing of muslims is considered hate speech.
Give me a F-ing break. Stop with the double standards already. People are always screaming for equality and fairness...well? Live it, don't just preach it.
The door swings both ways.
Yeah it is. You should be angry at the liberals at "WaMu".
I'm not getting angry at anyone, just keeping racism off the board.
Dr.Who
And they will get a way with it for a while too because white guys just don't care. Who knows, maybe they know that success is not based on others people's racism. Success is based primarily on one's own efforts.
I'm well aware that libs have a hair trigger response to what even smells like racism (anti-white racism excepted) - as I said - it's THEIR reckoning and strategy - ease off the trigger and calm down.
Dr.Who said:
And they will get a way with it for a while too because white guys just don't care.
That's the mystery, and maybe a little "consciousness raising" is in order. That people are ridiculed in such ways sets the groundwork, the mental framework, the psychology, the national "tone", whereby they can be screwed over in more substantial ways, ie, "affirmative action". I also wonder how a big a factor Race Policing is - when you raise objections to "affirmative action", you are sure to have the Race Police run out like Keystone Kops hysterically screaming "racism".
I think the attack on the white male is for a duel reason.
They represent old fashioned style family units and that is the group you think of when blaming ancestors for past problems.
I also think that is why they attack christians so much too.
There are lots of reasons. Eg the "patriarchy", a code word used by feminists for their principal enemy, of course means "white males".
PLC1
This discussion brings up a question:
What is a liberal?
One poster wants to smash them.
Are they all for racism against white people?
Are they against families?
Just who are these terrible people, and what do they believe?
Such a question deserves a thread of its own, so I'll start one, right here on the U. S. politics forum.
Wow. You people really just don't get it.
This is a reversal of the old racist trends in advertising which were astounding virulent. For instance, in the 1920s over half the portrayals of black men in advertising were specifically designed to show them as servants. Newer trends that depict black people in a more empowered light are meant to reverse that old trend, to show audiences that black people can and have branched out into what society considers more "elevated" roles.
Here's a highly educational slideshow on the subject:

Q: c# helix-toolkit, how to open examples from source Hello I am kinda new and my question is rather basic.
I want to use the helix toolkit for some visualization.
I downloaded the source, but whenever I open the examples or projects, a lot
of the references do not work. If I click on the reference, for example SharpDX there is no path to the dll.
However it would be a lot of work to change all the references by hand, because there are so many examples and different projects. Does anyone know the reason why it does not work?
I just downloaded the whole helix toolkit from github and started different examples, but the references never seem to work.
Best regards

A: I'm new too but found that if you open the example browser solution, go to the nuget console and:
Install-Package HelixToolkit   <-this resolves most references
also do the same for naudio  <-a couple more
build the dll for HelixToolkit.Wpf.Input (already setup just open the project, build and point at it from add reference)
Add the references for PropertyTools from somewhere under examples (search "PropertyTools" under where ever you extracted the zip to, you'll find the Dll's)
mine were in C:\Users\scott\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\helix\helix-toolkit-master\Source\Examples\WPF\ExampleBrowser\packages\PropertyTools.Wpf.2015.2.0\lib\net45

A: If you are using Visual Studio, right mouse button on you project in the Solution Explorer and choose Manage Nuget Packages, choose browse (right top), type helixtookit, you will see all the packages you will need. Install the ones you need.
Good luck.

Booborowie is a locality in South Australia. It is located  north of Adelaide. At the 2016 census, the Booborowie district had a population of 218.

Booborowie Station
In 1843, Dr William James Browne and his brother Dr John Harris Browne took up the Booborowie run. In 1851 they purchased a crown lease of 153 square miles, and in 1853 the brothers purchased 46,978 acres of the lease.

The Browne brothers established a merino stud and ran shorthorn cattle. They went on to purchase properties on the Adelaide Plains, at Mount Gambier, the Flinders Ranges, and the Eyre Peninsula, and were instrumental in establishing Katherine in the Northern Territory. This led to a large sheep and cattle drive, under the supervision of Alfred Giles, to leave South Australia in 1878.

The northern portion of the station was sold to Henry Dutton and George Melrose in 1897. The remainder of the station was sold in 1910 and 1912 for closer settlement.

History of the township
Baldry Township was first surveyed in 1875 near Leighton, but was abandoned at the time. The Booborowie Township was proclaimed on 29 March 1877.

Being a farming community, the chief products produced are wool, wheat, lucerne and canola.

The town is named after the nearby Booborowie Waterhole, a small seasonal waterhole on Walton Palace Creek about  north west of the town, the "owie" signifying "waterhole" in the language of the indigenous Ngadjuri people, as in Hundred of Minlacowie, Terowie and Yarcowie (modern linguists tend to render the word as 'awi'). The spelling "Booboorowie" was common in the 19th century.

A feature of the area is the "Camel Hump", a drystone wall which runs over  from Booborowie to Farrell Flat.

The historic Booborowie Homestead and the former Booborowie Council Chambers are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.

Today, Booborowie is a popular destination for visitors enjoying the rural scenery, historic buildings and camping facilities at the town oval. The town is serviced by a primary school (opened 1892) with playgroup, and a grocer, incorporating hardware and post office facilities.

I have just attended Interior Lifestyle in Tokyo. This is a smart little show that majors on high end design with a strong Global section. We have exhibited here twice before and this time our constant presence at the show has really paid off. I was able to spend a little more on stand fittings with the support of the BEDG and I am sure that this extra attention to detail had a positive effect.At times we were swamped by interested potential customers and I have great hopes that the orders will come in. I do not expect immediate results but I hope that by the end of the year we will have many more faithful customers.
Interior Lifestyle Tokyo is an international trade fair for Tokyo to propose lifestyle concepts in interior design markets from around the world. Interior Lifestyle Tokyo derives from two trade fairs – Ambiente, the largest consumer goods trade fair in the world, and Heimtextil, an international trade fair for household and commercial textiles. In Japan, Interior Lifestyle Tokyo is held in June, while its sister fair, IFFT/Interior Lifestyle Living, takes place in November.
The 2018 show welcomed 25,456 visitors, exploring products and designs of 810 exhibitors from 29 countries at the Tokyo Big Sight.
The 30th annual ICFF, North America's platform for global design, will map the newest frontier of what's best and what's next at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, May 20-23, 2018.
More than 800 exhibitors from all points of the globe will display contemporary furniture, seating, carpet and flooring, lighting, outdoor furniture, materials, wall coverings, accessories, textiles, and kitchen and bath for residential and commercial interiors. This remarkable throng of exhibitors creates an unparalleled opportunity to view a broad yet highly focused selection of the world's finest, most innovative, and original avant-garde home and contract products side-by-side, under one roof.

A rare square emerald cut, high polished metal stone sits on a throne of feathers and spikes creating a beautiful contrast of elegance and edginess. This unique statement necklace is created as part of my Whirls collection, inspired by nature's silhouettes and textures that are so omnipresent in our environment.
The feather-like spikes of the pendant is hand polished to retain details. It comes in a natural satin gold color of brass, oxidized black brass finish, or a special treatment that results in a pink color brass. As oxidization is done by hand, the color may vary.
The black brass finish is created through oxidization which is usually dark, almost blue. In time, it will gradually reduce to a slightly bronze-like black. The natural gold color of the brass in the pendant may show through the edges like highlights to the dynamic piece.
The pink brass finish is achieved by coating a thin layer of copper onto the metal, and then hand polish to reveal the gold color of brass. The effect is dramatic and unique, allowing the shadows between the feather-like spikes to appear as pink. The pink color is then picked up in the centerpiece metal gemstone, which comes plated in rose gold. In time the pink color will continue to oxidize and become a charming reddish color.
The metal stone is high polished and gold plated.
This unique piece is first sculpted in clay, which gives the organic look. It is then cast into metal form. Part of the Whirls Collection.
Usually made to order. Ships in 2 weeks. If in stock, will be shipped within 5 days.
The pendant measures about 2.125" in width. Comes with a 18" rope chain with a lobster clasp in a finish that matches the pendant.
Brass tarnishes when exposed to the elements. The metal will slowly change color in time adding to the pendant's unique character.
To avoid quick tarnishing on the back of the pendant where it touches the skin, please clean it with rubbing alcohol and store the necklace in the box provided after each wear.
Polishing cloth can be used to remove tarnishing on the back of the pendant and restore luster.
If is not taken care of, the thin layer of gold plated on top of the metal gemstone will fade in time.
Do not use abrasive detergent or polishing cloth on the stone. After each wear, clean it with rubbing alcohol and store it in the box provided.
Clusters of organic shapes inspired the imagination for the Whirls collection. Many see the designs as feathers, flowers, leaves, coral, or even armor. Nevertheless, it is most distinguished by the stream of movement embodied in each sculpted piece.
Harlequin&Lionhead jewelry is designed for urban girls who yearn to explore the natural world. The romantic and rustic aspects of the wild is interpreted in an abstract sculptural form. Edgy details infused with subtle sensitivity created the aesthetic foundation of each jewelry. Everything is handmade with love in the United States.

'Human-like' chatbots may change the way we shop
Jacques-Pierre (JP) Dumas
Smart bots may change the customer experience in the near future but improvements are still needed, according to GlobalData.
While many businesses are already using voice-controlled interactive bots like Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant, companies are testing bots that are smarter with human characteristics in response to consumer preferences, according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company.
People like that bots are quick but a study from data company Amdocs last month showed that the current generation of chatbots lacks the intelligence and emotional awareness to address complex service and support issues.
The study confirmed that chatbots cannot handle complex requests, furnish personalised offers as well as humans, and understand human emotions.
John Byrne, GlobalData Technology Analyst says, "The emerging generation of smart bots are designed to emulate human communications by using AI to improve recognition of human sentiment and understand natural language more accurately."
Service providers can then use these chatbots to provide a much more intimate customer experience, anticipating and addressing customer needs in real-time, and enabling operators to compete more effectively with internet juggernauts such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook.
Byrne continues, "The frustration from customers over the current generation means they have an opportunity to leap over the popular web brands and offer a more compelling bot experience than users are accustomed to."
However, the opportunity is likely short-lived for these operators, as the existing players are also working to improve the bot experience for their customers.
At the moment these bot interactions in my experience are still strikingly frustrating and infuriating.
Thus, serious improvement would be needed for these to truly begin to enhance customer experiences.
GlobalData's says that their mission is to help their clients decode the future to be more successful and innovative across a range of industries, including the healthcare, consumer, retail, financial, technology and professional services sectors.

Q: Duty cycle in flyback transformers I have a small doubt. If the flyback transformer is designed to vary duty cycle from 5-50% and obtains an output voltage of 5 to 100 V. Here, can we increase the duty cycle beyond 50% (70-80%) as to obtain a higher output voltage as output voltage will keep on increasing as per this formula
Vout ={Vin* n * D/(1-D)}

A:
Can we increase the duty cycle beyond 50% (70%-80%)as to obtain a
higher output voltage

Generally yes you can. However, the more you increase the duty cycle, the bigger is the reflected back-emf onto the primary and, at some point (usually above 70% duty cycle) the voltage at the drain of the MOSFET that controls the flyback transformer may receive too much voltage and, it might fail. Of course, if you design it correctly you can avoid this and get duty cycles above 90% but, these are few and far-between types of applications.

*

*If D = 50% and \$V_{IN}\$ = 100 volts then \$V_{OUT}\$ would also be 100 volts (using a 1:1 transformer in CCM). The peak voltage at the MOSFET drain (\$V_{DS}\$)would be 200 volts during flyback.

*If D was increased to 75%, \$V_{OUT}\$ (in CCM) would be 300 volts and, the peak \$V_{DS}\$ would be 400 volts during flyback.

*If D was 80%, \$V_{OUT}\$ = 400 volts and, the peak \$V_{DS}\$ would be 500 volts during flyback.

*If D was 90%, \$V_{OUT}\$ = 900 volts and, the peak \$V_{DS}\$ would be 1000 volts during flyback.
Compare this with altering the step up ratio to properly accommodate 900 volts; the turns ratio is now 1:9 and the duty reduces back to 50%. The big saving is the primary flyback voltage (or peak \$V_{DS}\$) which will be 200 volts.

A: There's nothing stopping you from trying, in fact, you could try it, but you'll be running into stability issues because the variation of the output will have a much too large slope to work with which can bring oscillations and, eventually, the controller can go "off track". If you plot the variation of the output with the duty cycle you'll get something like this:

But that's not all: because of the way the flyback works, there is a Volt*sec balance that needs to be considered, and the reflected voltage has a dependency on α exactly like the graph above; it also depends on the value of the primary inductance and the load current. The reflected voltage is the same as the output voltage at the boundary mode. Above it, it will increase, stressing the power switch. The current will also rise, causing extra losses. So it's not a practical aspect to consider.


PETALING JAYA, Jan 16 (Bernama) — Ride-hailing platform, Decentralised Alternative Cabs Serving and Empowering Everyone (DACSEE), today launched its transport hailing system in Malaysia to help drivers earn more income.
Chief Executive Officer, Alexander von Kaldenberg said DACSEE is the first decentralised ride-hailing system in the world and allowed drivers to level up and gain extra income by recruiting more drivers under them.

VfB Hohenems is een Oostenrijkse voetbalclub uit Hohenems, een plaats in de deelstaat Vorarlberg. Het Stadion Herrenried is de thuisbasis en ligt niet ver van de Zwitserse grens. De clubkleuren zijn geel en blauw.

Geschiedenis
In 1923 werd de club opgericht. Het kwam sindsdien uit in de amateurreeksen. Een van de grootste successen werd behaald in 1967 toen VfB Hohenems kampioen werd van de Landesliga Vorarlberg. De club promoveerde daarmee naar de Regionalliga, toen nog de tweede klasse. In het seizoen 1970/71 behaalde het zelfs een vierde plaats, het beste resultaat uit de clubgeschiedenis. Een jaar later degradeerden de geel-blauwen. Het kwam daarna niet hoger te voetballen dan het derde niveau (de huidige Regionalliga).

We are gathered in the Vatican Basilica to give thanks to the Lord at the end of the year and to sing the Te Deum together. I cordially thank all of you for wishing to join me on such an important occasion.
In the first place, I greet the Cardinals, my venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, the men and women Religious, the consecrated persons and all the lay faithful who represent the entire Ecclesial Community of Rome. In particular I greet the Mayor of Rome and the other Authorities present.
On this evening of 31 December, two different perspectives intersect: one is linked to the end of the civil year, the other to the liturgical Solemnity of Mary Most Holy, Mother of God, which concludes the Octave of Holy Christmas. The first event is common to all, the second concerns believers. Their intersection confers a special character upon this evening celebration, in a particular spiritual atmosphere that is conducive to reflection.
The first, most evocative, theme is linked to the dimension of time.
In the last hours of every solar year we participate in some worldly "rites" which in the contemporary context are mainly marked by amusement and often lived as an evasion from reality, as it were, to exorcise the negative aspects and propitiate improbable good luck. How different the attitude of the Christian Community must be!
The Church is called to live these hours, making the Virgin Mary's sentiments her own. With her, the Church is invited to keep her gaze fixed on the Infant Jesus, the new Sun rising on the horizon of humanity and, comforted by his light, to take care to present to him "the joy and the hope, the grief and the anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted" (Gaudium et Spes, n. 1).
Consequently, two different evaluations of the dimension of "time" confront each other, one quantitative and the other qualitative.
The coming of the Messiah, foretold by the Prophets, is qualitatively the most important event of all history, on which it confers its ultimate and full meaning. It is not historical and political coordinates that condition God's choice, but on the contrary, the event of the Incarnation that "fills" history with value and meaning.
We, who come 2,000 years after that event, can affirm this, so to speak, also a posteriori, after having known the whole life of Jesus, until his death and Resurrection. We are witnesses at the same time of his glory and his humility, of the immense value of his coming and of God's infinite respect for us human beings and for our history.
He did not fill time by pouring himself into it from on high, but "from within", making himself a tiny seed to lead humanity to its full maturation.
God's style required a long period of preparation to reach from Abraham to Jesus Christ, and after the Messiah's coming, history did not end but continued its course, apparently the same but in reality visited by God and oriented to the Lord's second and definitive Coming at the end of time. We might say that Mary's Motherhood is a real symbol and sacrament of all this, an event at the same time human and divine.
In the passage from the Letter to the Galatians that we have just heard, St Paul said: "God sent forth his Son, born of woman" (Gal 4: 4). Origen commented: "Note well that he did not say, "born by means of a woman' but "born of a woman'" (Comment on the Letter to the Galatians, PG 14, 1298).
This acute observation of the great exegete and ecclesiastical writer is important: in fact, if the Son of God had been born only "by means of" a woman, he would not truly have taken on our humanity, something which instead he did by taking flesh "of" Mary. Mary's motherhood, therefore, is true and fully human.
The fundamental truth about Jesus as a divine Person who fully assumed our human nature is condensed in the phrase: "God sent forth his Son born of woman". He is the Son of God, he is generated by God and at the same time he is the son of a woman, Mary. He comes from her. He is of God and of Mary.
For this reason one can and must call the Mother of Jesus the Mother of God. This title, rendered in Greek as Theotokos, probably appeared for the first time in the very region of Alexandria, Egypt, precisely where Origen lived in the first half of the third century. However, she was dogmatically defined as such only two centuries later, in 431 by the Council of Ephesus, a city to which I had the joy of going on pilgrimage a month ago during my Apostolic Visit to Turkey.
Indeed, thinking back to that unforgettable Visit, how could I fail to express all my filial gratitude to the Holy Mother of God for the special protection which she granted to me in those days of grace?
Theotokos, Mother of God: every time we recite the Hail Mary we address the Virgin with this title, imploring her to pray "for us sinners".
At the end of a year, we feel a special need to call on the motherly intercession of Mary Most Holy for the city of Rome, for Italy, for Europe and for the whole world. Let us entrust to Mary, who is the Mother of Mercy incarnate, particularly those situations to which the Lord's grace alone can bring peace, comfort and justice.
The Virgin heard the Angel announcing her divine Motherhood say to her: "With God nothing will be impossible" (Lk 1: 37). Mary believed and for this reason she is blessed (cf. Lk 1: 45). What is impossible to man becomes possible to the one who believes (cf. Mk 9: 23).
Thus, as 2006 draws to a close and the dawn of 2007 can already be glimpsed, let us ask the Mother of God to obtain for us the gift of a mature faith: a faith that we would like to resemble hers as far as possible, a clear, genuine, humble and at the same time courageous faith, steeped in hope and enthusiasm for the Kingdom of God, a faith devoid of all fatalism and wholly set on cooperating with the divine will in full and joyful obedience and with the absolute certainty that God wants nothing but love and life, always and for everyone.
Obtain for us, O Mary, an authentic, pure faith. May you always be thanked and blessed, Holy Mother of God! Amen!

Preparation is everything: Harris
Mon 19 Sep 2016, 06:05 PM
In the build up to a Preliminary final nothing is more important than preparation.
While all eyes will be on the 80 minutes of football that gets played out on AAMI Park this Saturday the contest is already underway.
In the training sessions, film room and gym, both teams are looking to get ahead, striving for that edge that will prove the difference between losing and a spot in the NRL Grand Final.
That concept is certainly not lost on Craig Bellamy's side.
"It is huge, especially for such a big game," Tohu Harris said.
"Your preparation is everything. You've got to make sure you do every single little thing right to be prepared for such a big game.
"The simpler your focus, the better off you'll be."
Be at AAMI Park for the Preliminary final on Saturday night! Tickets on sale now.
The Raiders earned the right to travel to Melbourne after holding off the Panthers 22-12 on the weekend.
That win has Canberra reached the Preliminary final stage for the first time since 1997 and they will take plenty of confidence into the game having defeated the Storm back in Round 23.
"I didn't watch too much of it (the Panthers game) but I know what is going to turn up on Saturday night," Harris said.

The statistics are a bit dire: 20 per cent of small businesses do not make it past their first year — and fully half will close their doors before their five-year anniversary. Nonetheless, eager entrepreneurs regularly take the plunge in order to follow their dreams of owning their own business. If you are thinking about blazing your own path, despite the odds, you are not alone.
Are you looking to create a job for yourself or do you want to grow a scalable company?
Many new entrepreneurs end up creating a job for themselves, but not a company that can operate without them in a key position. That is okay, but if it is not your long-term goal, you need to have a clear vision of how you will scale your business before you begin. Otherwise, you risk finding yourself working hard and taking on more than you should, without either the funding or the people you need to succeed. If you want to work less down the road, you will need to focus on creating a business that can operate with or without you, rather than a so-called "lifestyle" enterprise.
Who are the players you want on your team?
In real estate, the crucial factor in price is "Location, location, location!" In the small business world, the equivalent is "Talent, talent, talent!" Having great talent around you is the key to success. Keep your standards high and be meticulous in choosing those you choose to scale the company with; it is important to note that the skills required starting a company and getting it to N20m in annual sales, and the skills required to scale a company from N20m to N100m, are very different. You might get lucky and find people who have both sets of skills, who can stretch with the demands of a larger business, but more likely if you want to keep your original team, you will need to invest in them. For example, the Chief Executive Officer at Power Digital Marketing, Grayson Lafrenz, created a free 14-week MBA programme for all employees interested in growing their general business and marketing skill set to solve this problem internally rather than have to reach outside the company for experts to expand the company.
To attract good talent, consider giving your people equity as part of their compensation packages. A good rule of thumb is to set aside 15-20 per cent of your total equity for your key players. These are the people — regardless of title or hierarchy — whom you can't afford to lose. You need their talent, and you need to offer something attractive to keep them on board and invested in your vision.
Finally, give yourself the flexibility to take risks and hire people with diverse skills, but don't rush to fill a role with just anyone. Rather, always align yourself with those who bring something to the table that your current team is lacking and that you've identified as crucial to your goals.
Who are your first couple of customers?
It is natural to assume that people are similar to you, but in reality, people have very different tastes, styles and spending habits. When you convince someone, you don't know to buy your product, take the time to talk with him/her. Treat their feedback like gold, cater to their requests, and consider pivoting to adapt to the market if you find they are part of an unexpected trend. Before you invest a lot of capital to launch your idea/product/service, you must build a solid foundation. The most successful "bootstrap" companies start with a few customers and then make sure they have gotten their offering just right.
Who are strategic partners you can align yourself with?
As the new company on the block, you'll need to find efficient ways to acquire leads and clients. One of the easiest ways is to go talk to other companies who service the same customer base.
Remember, if you are bringing something unique to the market — not just duplicating what others are offering — there is always room for collaboration and smart partnerships. You scratch their back and they will scratch yours. It's a smart way to do business, and it is great Public Relations. Think about the competitors in your field that focus on a slightly different niche. How can you complement one another's work? Could they become your distributor? A potential acquirer? Are their clients possibly yours as well?
Do you have a strong operating agreement?
Many first-time entrepreneurs don't put proper focus on having a really smart operating agreement. Assume that you will be successful and structure your operating agreement that way.
A strong agreement should include five basics: ownership, rights, responsibilities of members and managers, distribution of profits and losses, how owners can be changed, and how to go about dissolving the LLC.
A strong operating agreement will prevent disagreements, misunderstandings and a host of other problems once your company starts to enjoy its well-earned success.
Starting a new business is exciting and energising, but if you want to beat the odds, these five tried and true tips are a good place to start.


When you choose to follow a diet that doesn't include meat and dairy, many potential sources of nutrients become unavailable. Some nutrient deficiencies to keep an eye out for include iron, B12, calcium, vitamin D and protein. Luckily, we live in a world with fortified foods, additives and supplements.
The only supplements I find it personally necessary to take are B12 and iron. I also put nutritional yeast on just about everything because it's tasty and chock-full of all of the vitamins and minerals your heart could desire. Dark green leafy vegetables and beans are two great vegan sources of iron, but being that I'm a college student, I'll be honest in admitting that my kitchen goes unused for long periods of time.
Vitamin B12 is only present in meat and dairy products naturally, but most cereal and milk alternatives such as soy and almond can be fortified with synthetic B12. If you're not a big milk or cereal person, a tablet once a day delivers more than your daily B12 needs. As an added bonus, foods fortified with B12 are likely to also be fortified with calcium.
If a relaxing day at the beach has been in the works for a while, go ahead and pack the car with towels and a cooler, because sunshine is guaranteed to deliver a nice dose of vitamin D. Also, odds are that the mimosa you're drinking was made with orange juice fortified with vitamin D, so enjoy every sip.
Most vegans will consume more than enough protein without much effort. Vegan meat alternatives such as veggie burgers and veggie dogs are usually made with tofu, which is made from protein-rich soybeans. For healthy snacking, a handful of nuts or a tablespoon of natural nut-butter will deliver a considerable protein boost.
Monitoring your nutrient intake as a vegan doesn't have to be painstaking work. As long as you follow a somewhat balanced diet, you're probably in the clear. If in doubt, you can always as your doctor to run a blood test to determine if supplements are necessary.
This is so important to keep in mind when being vegan!

OURS IS A COUNTRY OF WORDS
Sunday 1 January 2017 - 11:05 PM 196 Films, Documentary
A documentary about a hypothetical situation, the story begins in an undetermined moment in the future when the Palestinian right of return becomes a reality. Balancing between fiction and documentary, dream and reality we watch as families in the Shatila refugee camp prepare for their fictional return. What would they pack, who will they miss? Through the words they convey about the dream of returning, we have a deeper understanding of what it means to live in exile. This film, a fiction performed by non-actors, shows the inverse of a reality. In watching the dream unfold, we see a reality that can only be conveyed through the imagination.
"This film tells a story that started in 1948, when thousands of Palestinians fled their country, in fear of the ongoing massacres. We will pick the story up years later, in an imaginary future. A future in which Palestine is free again." Thus opens the film by Mathijs Poppe, who, by creating the fiction of a possible return with the inhabitants of the Shatila camp, implicitly writes a history of Palestine and the Palestinians. Over the narrow streets, in the confined apartments into which entire families are crammed, the tight frames and the image in chiaroscuro reveal a life of waiting, suspended. Redoing passports, selling the washing machine to buy a car, contacting the Israeli setlers who are occupying the house to warn them of their return: everyone busies themselves preparing the voyage to the home or dreamed land. Those who have never seen it make an imaginary tableau of it, describing the beauty of an ideal landscape that makes the reality of the camp crueller with each sentence. For, this country of words, even inaccessible, is the cradle of an identity forged in exile, alive despite and against everything.

On Behalf of Makarem & Associates | Dec 1, 2021 | Firm News
A Female Employee at Rivian Filed a Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Against her Employer
The former sales and marketing VP for Rivian, has filed a lawsuit against the company for their alleged gender discrimination during the former employee's duration at the company. The former sales employee also alleges that she was wrongfully terminated, and that the company retaliated against her, following her complaints of gender discrimination to human resources.
What is the Gender Discrimination That's Being Alleged?
According to the former employee, her male peers and supervisors frequently ignored her requests or complaints based off her gender. Allegedly, the male employees would have meetings and not allow the female employees to join in on those meetings despite their requests. Any decisions or ideas that the female employee proposed were also taken with the least amount of regard by her male supervisors.
Since there was an arbitration clause in the employment contract, the case will be proceeding through arbitration. Rivian has already put out a statement per the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Within the claim, Rivian states that the allegations should be dismissed, and that there was no gender discrimination within the workplace. The employer also states that the termination of the employee was not in response to her complaint to Human Resources. The Amazon backed company recently IPO'd, which has been exerting extra pressure onto the company amid this lawsuit.
"What should I do if I'm experiencing gender discrimination and retaliation for standing against it?"
If you believe you are facing a hostile work environment, gender discrimination, or sexual harassment in the workplace, then please contact our dedicated and experienced discrimination lawyers at Makarem & Associates at 310.312.0299 or at [email protected]. You will not be disappointed!
