Significance: Fruitlands, an early 18th century farmhouse, served as the site of Amos Bronson Alcott's "new Eden," an experiment in communal living modeled on the ideas of this leading educational reformer, Transecendenalist and social philosopher. The experiment represents "one of the more characteristic chapters in the history of American Utopianism." The farmhouse overlooks the Nashua Valley in central Massachusetts and commands a view of Mount Wachusett, some 15 miles to the west, and Mount Monadnock, some 45 miles to the north. Fruitlands was designated a Massachusetts Historic Landmark in 1966 and a National Historic Landmark in 1974.


Shantikunj, Hardwar has been the pioneer organization to promote and propagate social, intellectual, ethical, cultural and spiritual renaissance at all levels. With the noble objective of reconstruction of divine Indian culture, it was founded by Param Pujya Gurudev Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya and Vandaniya Mata Bhagawati Devi Sharma. Aimed at dissemination of the tenets of Dev Sanskriti, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, an illustrious institution, is a bright outcome of the seeds sown by Gurudev. This institute is headed by Dr. Pranav Pandya, the prominent scholar, an efficient role model of thousands whose vision and guidance has given a global perspective to DSVV. Highlighting its unique feature, the Chancellor Dr. Pranav Pandya narrates, "Its aim is to harmonize knowledge and genuine learning and thereby providing livelihood. This is the University where real human beings, ready to do something noble for the country and the world at large, are molded." DSVV is recognized by UGC and had been established on the approval of the first elected legislature of Uttarakhand on April11, 2002.
The holistic development of the students' is our motto, which is being successfully carried out by the dedicated contribution of our skilled, efficient and competent faculty members. A good number of students have got placement in various related fields like yoga teaching, therapy, counseling and management.
To develop, promote and propagate the scientific and Philosophical aspects of Yoga.
To endeavor for high ethical standard in teaching and research in the field of Yogic Science.
To develop and standardize the methods and curriculum for Yoga education, Research study, Therapy and Training.
To undertake and promote the various aspects of Yogic Science for enhancing excellence in the field of Corporate management, Industries, Health managements by producing professional competence and human values.
To disseminate the scientific information, research findings and contemporary application of Yoga through literature, conferences, seminars and workshops.
To provide and promote all indigenous medicinal and healing services particularly Yoga and Ayurveda through Yoga Clinic and nationwide spot services.
The realistic and holistic development of human being is based on the balanced natural and traditional techniques. Yug Rishi Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya initiated the Yug Nirman Yojna and Sapt Sootriya Andolan which embodies a realistic model of healthy and civilized society. The Center offers a six month course which focuses on basic and practical aspects of health management, as well as social economical and spiritual well being of people and also The main objective of the Center is to spread health awareness to all. To promote the role of herbs in keeping us healthy, importance of Vedic life style, promote the herbal and home production as medium of sell establishment, To stabilized the Yagya therapy as Holistic therapy technique To promote the agriculture & herbal medicine to promote the herbal and hygienic life style on the Base of Ayurveda Self employment opportunities lie in areas like alternative medicine, Panchkarma centers, naturopathy centers yog awareness centers and yog trainers.
The Centre includes Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, biofeedback, , Homeopathy, Yunani, Siddha and diet-based therapies, in addition to a range of other practices. It is frequently grouped with complementary medicine, which generally refers to the same interventions when used in conjunction with mainstream techniques, under the umbrella term complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM. A 1998 systematic review of studies assessing its prevalence in 13 countries concluded that about 31% of cancer patients use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. Alternative medicine varies from country to country; Dr. Edzard Ernst believes that in Austria and Germany CAM is mainly in the hands of physicians, although some estimates suggest that half of CAM is administered by physicians in the US. In Germany, herbs are tightly regulated, with half prescribed by doctors and covered by health insurance based on their Commission E legislation. The prime objective of the Center is to revive the golden era of Indian Medical systems, or say, Vedic Medical Science covering physical, mental and spiritual problems as compared to treatment of only physical body under the modern medical science. It provides all the services of effective complementary therapies to general masses suffering from acute or chronic diseases like asthma, arthritis, backache, constipation, diabetes, hypertension, headache, gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, women's problems etc. Apart from this, the Center provides therapeutic training to the students as a part of their academic course to enhance their practical knowledge and competency. The Center has a vision and plan to establish a giant Project of Research & Development Center which will cover Therapy, Training and Research in the field of Yoga, Ayurveda, Yagyopathy, Naturopathy, Panchkarma, Pranic Healing, Accupressure, Psychotherapy, Spiritual Healing and modern medical techniques.

The Center offers various complementary therapies (except Jan, May, June & Dec) For : Arthritis, Spondolitis, Backache, and other Joint's Disorder between 1st – 9th of every month, For: Diabetes, Gastro-intestinal Disorders, Obesity, Women's Problems etc between 11th – 19th of every month For: Asthma, Hypertension and other common Cardio-vascular Problems between 21st – 29th of every month OPD and Free consultancy in Yoga and Complimentary therapies. Residential facilities for 10 to 20 days as prescribed by Specialists.
Prevention is key to good health. Taking steps to better your health before you get sick is the best way to keep yourself healthy.
Your body has the ability to heal itself. Alternative medicine practitioners see themselves as facilitators. To them, your body does the healing work, and treatment encourages your natural healing processes.
Learning and healing go hand in hand. Alternative medicine practitioners see themselves as teachers and mentors who offer guidance. To the practitioner, you're the one who does the healing.
Holistic care. The focus is on treating you as a whole person — recognizing that physical health, mental well-being, relationships and spiritual needs are interconnected and play a part in your overall health.

The decorative flowers displayed in the window boxes, are for demonstration purposes only.
Our Original stable was the starting point for our company. With its distinctive carry handle built into the roof, and rear pockets allowing for easy access to a loft area. The Stable-house provides ample room for a number of children to play together from all sides.
The Grovely Wood toy horse is made by bringing together layers of multi layered birch ply, cut to shape then held together whilst Emily hand sands the form.
Why not create a very special horse for that special little person in your life, or a keepsake horse for yourself or friend. Send us a photo of your own or favourite horse or pony and we will try and match its colour and markings.
Accessories, horses etc sold separately.
Following the successful use of our demonstration play table, which you may have seen if you've visited our stand at either Badminton and Blenheim, we have now made many more in various shapes and colours and are happy to be able to offer these bespoke items online.
Our With Wheels range features our Land Rover look alike, loosely based on the classic short wheeled Land Rover and has been aptly named the 'Land Grover'!
Launched at Badminton Horse Trials 2017 our Grovely Werguson is a recent addition to our range of farm toys.
We are always busy creating exciting new toys to add to our range. If you have a suggestion for a toy you think would suit our range - then please do drop us an email - our Water trough was a suggestion put forward by young Koby.
The Grovely Wood toy horse is made by bringing together layers of multi layered birch ply. The layers are first cut to shape, and then held together whilst Emily hand sands the form to produce the distinct horse features.
Following the successful use of our demonstration play table, which you may have seen if you've visited our stand at either Badminton and Blenheim, we have now made many more in various shapes and colours and are now happy to be able to offer these bespoke items online.
Our Grovely Werguson is a recent addition to our range of farm toys. Launched at Badminton Horse Trials 2017.
Grovely Wood is a small family run company based in Salisbury, Wiltshire UK. We produce a unique handmade range of toy stables-houses, farm buildings and accessories including our Land Rover lookalike - the Land Grover and our range of horses which includes the Keepsake horse, made especially for you from your photographs and horse mane cutting, the perfect keepsake gift.
The toys being produced by Grovely Wood were first produced back in 1999 for the founder's two daughters. Both girls had a passion for anything involving horses and farms.

We pride ourselves on individually crafting each and every item by hand; delivering a fully constructed toy, made of real quality wood, complete and ready for years of play.
Our aim has been to produce a range of unique toys, all custom built and finished to a high standard. We endeavour to use solid brass fixtures and fittings wherever possible. Each toy is finished in at least two natural protective coatings of a beeswax and oil, which not only allows the wood to breath and retain its natural grain and beauty, but also provides a water repellent surface to stave off any accidental spillages!
Our toys aim to be as hard wearing and as serviceable as any good piece of furniture added to your home.


For the longest time, ES File Explorer was the de facto file manager on Android. As time has gone on, however, it's proven to be less trustworthy. A recent vulnerability reminds us why there are better choices now.
As reported by Android Police, there's a new vulnerability in ES that exposes your files to anyone on the same network—you only need to open the app once. This bug was found by researching Elliot Alderson, who posted about it on Twitter.
Apparently, ES leaves port 59777 open on your phone after it's launched, giving anyone on the same network access to the file structure and beyond. An attacker can use that open port to inject a JSON payload, then get access to—and download—all of your info.
We have fixed the http vulnerability issue and released it. Waiting for the Google market to pass the review.
Still, given ES' rocky history, this is just another opportunity to remind everyone there are better options out there. If you insist on using ES, I would at least suggestion steering clear of it until the update that fixes this bug is available in the Play Store.

Rectron donates ICT equipment to the Kwa-Zulu Natal Action for Blind and Disabled computer laboratory
Rectron donates ICT equipment to KZN NGO
By Press Release on	 October 19, 2013 Business Leadership
This will enable ACTION to extend their offering of free Computer and IT tuition and skills training to the young, blind and disabled students.
The equipment that is being provided to ACTION includes an Intel server and 15 Gigabyte computers. This equipment will be utilised for ACTION's school leaver students, who will be undergoing computer training for their Microsoft Office Specialist Certification.
"We are absolutely thrilled to supply such an incredibly worthy organisation with equipment. We have worked with ACTION for some time and have gained massive respect for the incredible work that they do with the community. We now have the privilege to 'give back' and make a difference to the lives of these previously disadvantaged, disabled students, who will be able to improve their skills to ultimately become employable," says Jean Feuilherade, Rectron's Kwa-Zulu Natal Branch Manager.
Computer and IT Training for senior school learners in many disabled schools was unavailable as late as 2002. This posed a disastrous situation for our future generation, leaving school in the 21st century without IT knowledge. This problem was identified by the foresighted founders and thus ACTION was established and registered in 2002. Many of the blind and disabled youngsters enrolled with ACTION come from rural areas and rely purely on Government Disability Grants.
It is impossible for them to sustain themselves in areas where tuition is available, and even more of an impossibility to afford their education.
Building on a thorough understanding of the organisation's IT infrastructure and considering ACTION's existing facilities, Rectron's provision of this ICT equipment will enable ACTION to empower the school leaver students, some of whom have never had exposure to IT or any formalised training throughout primary or secondary school.
"We are very grateful for this generous donation by Rectron. This equipment will play a significant role in the training of up to 30 school leavers this coming year. Through this technical training and skills development, we know that we can make a considerable difference to the lives of these individuals as we help them become independent, skilled members of the country's workforce." Says Ian Bottomley, Founder at ACTION.
"It has been a pleasure working closely with Ian and the ACTION team on a project that we can all be proud of. We look forward to hearing about the wonderful successes in the computer lab, thanks to the integration of more technology at ACTION Kwa-Zulu Natal," concludes Feuilherade.

This 3-recording home-study bundle provides an introduction to the effective application of neurofeedback in the assessment and treatment of various psychophysiological disorders. These three recordings are appropriate for psychologists, doctors, therapists and any clinicians currently or interested in using neurofeedback with their clients in a therapeutic setting. No prior knowledge of neurofeedback is required, however individuals with a novice to intermediate experience can still greatly benefit from this package. Please note that the ClinicalQ assessment, as designed by Dr. Paul G. Swingle, is the primary tool and method discussed in these recordings on neurofeedback evaluation.
- Identify the practical application of the ClinicalQ assessment for neurofeedback evaluation.
- Interpret neurofeedback results from the ClinicalQ assessent, in the identification of attentional issues, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, pseudo-seizures, sleep disorders, and related conditions to the aforementioned disorders.
- Prepare a neurofeedback/neurotherapeutic training plan for the alteration of client brainwaves in order to minimize behavior associated with attentional issues, ADHD, trauma, pseudo-seizures, sleep disorders, and related conditions to the aforementioned disorders.
- Identify adjunctive techniques that enhance the successful results of neurotherapeutic, for the treatment of ADHD, trauma and sleep disorders.
The statistics associated with ADHD are worrisome. For adults with untreated ADHD, the co-morbidity data indicates a rate of depression, mood disorders and anxiety of over 50%, alcoholism and other addictions over 50%, and a 50% greater smoking rate than the general population. In young males (average age 22) a recent study found a 95% greater arrest rate, and a much greater incarceration rate than the general population. When detected at a young age and correctly identified, ADHD is readily treated with neurotherapy. But what about the cases of ADHD misdiagnosis? Treating the wrong condition won't help the attentional issue, and will often exacerbate the condition and the individual's behavior. Join Dr. Paul G. Swingle as he describes complexities of correctly identifying and treating ADHD and related conditions, with the use of the ClinicalQ neurofeedback assessment.

An unfortunate reality of our current world is that an individual's brain alters its electro-chemical activity as a reaction to the long term exposure to negative life experiences. Such traumatic events are varied, potentially including loneliness, being raised by severely depressed parents, daily bullying or abuse over months. People often don't imagine their own experiences as "traumatic" even though the effects for such extended periods of time are visible by brain evaluation. These changes in brain activity are quantifiable with the ClinicalQ neurofeedback assessment.
In this 1-hour home-study recording, Dr. Paul G. Swingle identifies the key markers of the ClinicalQ neurofeedback assessment results for the identification of trauma. This includes the trauma's implication in conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), severe anxiety, sleep disturbances, depression and pseudo-seizures. Attendees will also be exposed the neurotherapeutic approaches Dr Swingle's clinic uses for dealing with the subtleties of these trauma markers, and several client case examples will be reviewed.

In this 1-hour recording, Dr. Paul G. Swingle discusses the issues relating to sleep and our current, medical understanding of it. He identifies how much of what clinicians, therapists, doctors and psychologists have been traditionally taught about sleep is actually incorrect, and expands into what medical professionals should examine for proper evaluation of their clients' sleep conditions. Dr. Swingle describes the ideal sleep quality architecture all individuals should have. He then identifies the quantifiable markers of EEG brain activity, with the ClinicalQ neurofeedback assessment, that are specific to a client's sleep problems.

Abstract An existential yet emotionally-charged dialogue between two young women.
Notes This essay was written by a young woman from China (English name, "Yeasany"), who was my university student at the time. Despite her limited English, I could see this was a most penetrating short story. I corrected a few small language issues but mostly left the essay as she wrote it. This is posted with her permission.

We must support Australian artists in their most ambitious visions to understand the seismic shifts of our time. By Andy Butler.
Making sense of a changing world
Installation view of Destiny Deacon's Smile (2017) on display in the DESTINY exhibition.
Credit: Tom Ross
Seeing DESTINY at the end of 2020 seemed like a miracle. Destiny Deacon's 30-year retrospective finally opened last month at the National Gallery of Victoria after its failure to launch when the pandemic hit in late March.
In the aftermath of stage-four lockdown, art still feels precarious in Melbourne, but a home-town celebration of Kuku and Erub/Mer photographer Deacon's work is a fitting end to a year in Australian art where the unsettling issues plaguing us on a global scale hit multiple flashpoints.
The Brunswick-based artist is a towering figure. For the past 30 years she has used photographs of dolls and Aboriginalia – Polaroids and dolls are a cheap way to make work – to unpack, with humour and tragedy, the history of racism in Australia. She coined the word "Blak" – a term now adopted by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to describe themselves: "I took the 'c' out of Black little cunt," she says. Her output has given us cultural tools to make sense of a changing world.
There are scores of artists today treading similar paths to Deacon and the generation of artists who built their practices alongside her. This legacy was felt in major contemporary art exhibitions this year, such as the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art and the Biennale of Sydney. The recent push by museums and major galleries to platform voices that have historically been excluded from mainstream cultural life continued unabated this year – the Adelaide Biennial sought to make visible the monsters of now, and the Biennale of Sydney, NIRIN, brought voices from the edge into the centre.
Australia is rich with artists who offer perspectives and insights that push against our inherited Eurocentric framework, but the infrastructure that collates our mainstream cultural memory is compromised. Our central institutions have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo and their support of politicised artists who have transformative visions for society is a smokescreen for a deep and anxious conservatism.
The Australian arts ecology is no longer fit for purpose – there's no way it can support the ambitious visions of our artists. This is by design.
This year, Vincent Namatjira was the first Aboriginal – and first non-white – person to win the Archibald Prize in its near-hundred-year history, with a self-portrait also featuring footballer Adam Goodes. While it's right to celebrate Namatjira, the 99-year whitewash of Australia's most prominent national art prize is wholly unsurprising.
In the wake of the Black Lives Matter uprisings, the inability of our cultural institutions to meaningfully confront systemic racism became very clear – even though these spaces have spent the past several years or more platforming artists who engage with social issues.
While museums around the world posted black squares on Instagram in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, or made public statements of support, an Instagram account named Change the Museum started posting hundreds of anonymous stories of structural racism and toxic gaslighting in museums. In Australia, Sydney-based Lilly Lai published a scathing essay detailing their experiences working at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, and a toxic work culture plagued by issues around whiteness and class. (The MCA refutes their account.)
Destiny Deacon is the tip of the iceberg. The breadth of dynamic artists we have in Australia, and their perspectives, are internationally significant. 2020 is the culmination of political, cultural, economic and environmental currents of the first years of this millennium, and the next decade and beyond will bring seismic challenges and shifts for us all. Artists are vital in forming the cultural lens to make sense of all this.
The Australian arts ecology is no longer fit for purpose – there's no way it can support the ambitious visions of our artists. This is by design. We still pit peers against each other through the commercial market or dwindling government grants. Art and culture are inherently social activities, but we've turned it into a competition controlled by the economic and political elite, with very few winners. Culture is an incredibly powerful force, and those at the top want to keep a firm grip on how it shapes us.
Even while things felt bleak, a fermenting spirit of collaboration, political activism, camaraderie and hope was gathering within the arts at both national and international levels. The systems we've had to work in are collapsing, so now's our opportunity to create something better in their place. This year has seen some significant changes that will transform visual art for years to come.
The move online has broadened the scope to cross-pollinate ideas across geographic locations and art forms. Artist-led initiatives such as Pari in Parramatta are connecting diverse Australian artists with international collectives and collaborations such as Gudskul in Indonesia and the White Pube in Britain. Hyphenated, an Asian–Australian collective from Melbourne, is using online platforms to draw out connections between First Nations experiences here and colonial histories in Asia. Where predominantly white institutions have failed at the complexity of cultural discussions, artists are striking out on their own.
Capital cities that often lose artists to Sydney and Melbourne are investing more in local talent. The Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane commissioned 40 artists connected to Queensland for the online platform Making Art Work and ACE Open in Adelaide staged a survey of burgeoning practices from South Australia in If the future is to be worth anything. The Perth Festival has announced a 2021 program that focuses on West Australian artists. Regional galleries are staking a larger claim on cultural life, with Ballarat getting a National Centre for Photography, Home of the Arts opening on the Gold Coast, and other regional galleries such as Bendigo Art Gallery, Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA) and Shepparton Art Museum curating cutting-edge exhibitions for audiences outside urban centres.
The huge shifts in the funding landscape for the small to medium parts of the ecology call for innovative ways of collaborating, and will also force some places to close. This part of the art world – the non-profits with minuscule budgets – nurtures experimental ideas and practices, and leads museums and commercial galleries by a mile in terms of meaningful contributions to social transformation. It is also the part of our cultural infrastructure that has been gutted the most by our federal government.
Destiny Deacon cut her teeth in this sort of gallery, around the heyday of Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative in Chippendale in the '90s, with peers such as Richard Bell, Judy Watson, Brenda L. Croft, Fiona Foley and Brook Andrew. We have a long history of visionary artists, and many artists in our new generation could expand our cultural horizons even more if only we would value them.
Next year and beyond feels very uncertain for Australian visual arts, and for the world at large. Artists play vital roles in creating emotional, conceptual, aesthetic and material tools to articulate more astutely our present, to imagine possible futures, and to bring communities closer. Now we need to support them more than ever.

Truly Polished: Seven Nation Army Manicure!
Today I was thinking about how I could paint my nails. I wanted to do some nail art, mostly because the thought of taking off my franken from yesterday broke my heart! So I thought about it for a while, turned on MTV and thought some more. Then all of sudden Marcus Collins came on TV. For those of you who don't know, he was the runner up on X Factor. I've never been a huge fan of his, and his new single doesn't help things! It's a cover of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. I use the term "cover" loosely as the song as barely recognisable now it has more or less a reggae accompaniment!
I found the song so offensive to my ears that I muted the TV, got onto YouTube and listened to the real version. Seven Nation Army is one of my all time favourite songs, so after listening a few times and dancing round the room with my son, I set about trying to recreate the video on my nails!
I used plain sellotape for this mani, but it took so long to cut etc that I gave up and did my last 2 fingers freehand. Now I wish I'd used the tape for all of them!
The polishes I used were: Rimmel Black Out and my own Star Nursery franken topcoat (see yesterday's post), then the white is a Wet'n'Wild polish, it doesn't have a name... The red polish is Rimmel's 60 Second in Rapid Ruby. I used the Konad M44 image plate for the lines. It's the image plate that has different tips for more original french manicures.
Outside in the "sun," it wasn't very bright!
I really love this mani, I just wish I'd taken more time to do the tape! But I think it's a fitting tribute to the song, after all, I doubt Jack White would criticise me for a bit of a mess!

Fleetwood Mac have announced they will tour without longstanding guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, who will be replaced by Tom Petty guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House's Neil Finn.
In a statement, the band announced: "Lindsey Buckingham will not be performing with the band on this tour. The band wishes Lindsey all the best."
"Fleetwood Mac has always been about an amazing collection of songs that are performed with a unique blend of talents," Mick Fleetwood said.
We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style
"We jammed with Mike and Neil and the chemistry really worked and let the band realize that this is the right combination to go forward with in Fleetwood Mac style. We know we have something new, yet it's got the unmistakable Mac sound."
Finn said in a statement: "Two weeks ago I received a wonderful invitation to be a part of a truly great band. A few days later I was standing in a room playing music with Fleetwood Mac.
"It felt fresh and exciting, so many great songs, a spectacular rhythm section and two of the greatest voices ever. Best of all, we sounded good together. It was a natural fit. I can't wait to play."
Buckingham joined the band in 1975 along with Stevie Nicks, and played with them until 1987 - it was this line-up, featuring Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie that recorded smash 1977 album Rumors.
Buckingham rejoined in 1996, performing on and off with the band until this year.
Back in 2011, Buckingham told us, "What's interesting about Fleetwood Mac is that we're a band of people who have never wanted the same things. In a weird way, we probably don't even belong in the same band together. For whatever reasons, we can't always say, 'This is what we want, and here are the reasons.'"

Peel sweet potatoes and cut into small cubes. Place in microwave-safe bowl, cover with vented lid or cling wrap, and microwave on high until sweet potatoes are soft. (About 10-12 minutes for me, but microwave power can vary, so check a few times, being careful not to burn yourself.)While sweet potatoes cook, drain garbanzo beans into a colander placed in the sink and rinse with cold water until no more foam appears. Let garbanzos drain.Put cooked sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, tahini, 2 T olive oil, ground cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper into food processor bowl, with processor fitted with steel blade. Process until the mixture is fairly smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of bowl a few times. If the mixture seems too thick, thin with a few tablespoons of water until it is the consistency you want. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and/or pepper if desired.Serve at room temperature or chilled , with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of paprika or Sumac if you wish. This would be good with whole wheat pita triangles, veggie dippers, or whole grain chips. Hummus will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
Mouth is watering. I love sweet potatoes. You are killing me with these recipes and photos! I copied this one. Thank you!


Wilbur Cross High School, Common Ground High School and Yale University students march toward City Hall in New Haven.
NEW HAVEN — Stepping outside presents a great risk for Nelson Pinos, but students in the city took a risk for him Thursday.
Pinos, a resident of the Annex who has lived in this country for 26 years, has been at First and Summerfield Church on the New Haven Green for 294 days as of Thursday, longer than nine months. He wears an ankle bracelet and has taken sanctuary in the church from federal immigration officials seeking to deport him to Ecuador. Federal immigration officials follow guidance not to enter schools or churches, but if Pinos leaves the church, he could be subject to apprehension.
About 200 public school students — mostly from Wilbur Cross High School, where Pinos' daughter Kelly is a junior — were joined by students from Yale University, community activists and, across the city, students from Southern Connecticut State University, in walking out of school around 11 a.m. and making their way to the downtown church.
"We walk out because Nelson can't," Wilbur Cross students chanted.
Cross junior Carlos Jaramillo said administrators offered them school buses to take to the Green, but the students decided against it.
"We're not going on a field trip," he said.
At a recent school board meeting, Jaramillo said he felt Cross administrators were not supportive of students such as Kelly, as she processes her trauma. Recently, the Board of Education voted to lay off about 20 school counselors, opting instead to put one full-time social worker in every school, and extending the hours of several part-time social workers.
On the steps of the church, however, she choked back tears as she told the crowd that what she feels is pain when she sees her father being separated from her family.
In an opinion piece for the New York Times, Pinos wrote about how her father taking sanctuary has placed a heavy financial and emotional burden on her family, as her younger brother struggles to comprehend why his father cannot come home and Kelly Pinos works a part-time job to help make ends meet for her family.
Several public school administrators monitored the rally and march, communicating through walkie-talkies. Edith Johnson, principal of Wilbur Cross, declined to comment on whether students would face disciplinary action.
"I'm trying to make sure my kids are safe right now," she said, as Cross students marched down College Street. Later, she told other administrators that the walkout plan beginning at 11 a.m. was not shared with her.
The walkout, which began with the high school students, walked into Linsley-Chittenden Hall at Yale University to interrupt a science class, where several university students who had received an email ahead of time asking for their attendance waited. As about one-third of the 150-student lecture left the classroom, the protesters erupted into cheers.
About 30 minutes into the rally outside the church, students from Common Ground High School in Westville began to arrive. Staff from the school handed their students sandwiches from Subway. Joel Tolman, the school's director of development and community engagement, said students at the school would not face consequences.
"We are doing our best to support student leadership around this," he said.
Larissa Martinez, an undocumented immigrant who attends Yale , said too often the struggles of students with parents facing deportation go ignored.
"People need to acknowledge this is a reality for people around them," she said.
Suarez began passing around the megaphone, saying student voices were more important.
"He matters, and so does his life, and so does his family," said Ana Reyes, a Common Ground student, referring to Pinos.
Local organizer Norm Clement, a confederate of the Quinnipiac tribe, derided the decision to deport Pinos.
Organizers led the march from the church to the steps of City Hall to the U.S. District Court on Church Street. Suarez, who handed Board of Alders President Tyisha Walker-Myers a petition with more than 2,000 signatures calling on the city to adopt an official sanctuary city ordinance in June, called on officials to take the necessary steps to make it happen.
"I don't think they hear us when we say we want New Haven to be a sanctuary city," she said.
On SCSU's campus, students organized their own action in solidarity. Esteban Garcia, a faculty chairman of the university's undocumented student support team, said students believed it is important to oppose deportation actions during National Hispanic Heritage Month.

66 new missionaries added to reach the nations
By Julie McGowan, posted September 28, 2018 in International Mission Board, Missions, SBC News, Tech & Entertainment
Topic(s): International Mission Board, Missions, SBC News, Tech & Entertainment
[SLIDESHOW=49132,49133,49134,49135,49136]RICHMOND, Va. (BP) — Southern Baptists celebrated the sending of 66 new international missionaries Sept. 26 at Grove Avenue Baptist Church in Richmond, Va. They shared how God has woven throughout their lives a desire to take His Gospel to people who have never heard — and each story evidenced God's role for every church to take His Good News to every nation.
"The Lord has always moved my life through stories," said Caroline Reel, who is being sent by her churches, Restoration Church in Wake Forest, N.C., and Bullard Chapel Baptist in Tishomingo, Okla., to serve among refugee peoples in Uganda. "From the missionaries' stories at [Girls in Action] camps when I was a little girl, to storying through the Bible on mission as part of my education, stories have connected me to God's plan to share His life-giving story with the nations."
Among others:
— Years ago as a young couple in Ecuador, Patrick and Victoria Regalado learned of the great need for Hispanic pastors in the United States. In 1988, they arrived in New York City to reach Latinos for Christ.
"The last 10 years we have traveled to the Americas and around the United States equipping church leaders," Patrick said. Now the couple feels that God is leading them to Latin America to equip pastors and leaders. They are sent by Judson Baptist Church in Nashville to the Americas.
— God used the 2015 refugee crisis to move missions from "a good idea" to God's priority in the lives of Stephen and Amy Morgan, who are sent by Lakeshore Church in New Orleans to European peoples.
"We aren't special," Amy said. "We feel God's hand has been in our education and experiences directing us toward missional service."
— The path to missions service started eight years ago for Stephen and Kimberly Park, sent by Saddleback Valley Community Church in California, with a simple prayer: "God use us to do whatever it takes to reach one more for Jesus." The Parks will share God's love in Spain.
— God saved Jeff Johnson* around the time of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, and gave him a passion to share the Gospel, with a special burden to share with Muslims. Meanwhile Sophia Johnson* heard the Gospel from a missionary while growing up in a Roman Catholic home in Oaxaca, Mexico. On her first mission trip to Cuba in 1998, God called her to take the Gospel to the nations. The Johnsons are sent by Immanuel Baptist Church to the people of North Africa and the Middle East.
— As a refugee in the Philippines, Ruby Ng* felt the love of many missionaries. She thanked God for adding her to that number as Hope Baptist Church sends Ruby and her husband Peter* to share the Gospel with the 400,000 Vietnamese living throughout Taiwan.
Platt's exhortations
David Platt, whose IMB presidency ended the following day, welcomed his son, Isaiah, 5, to help share the biblical story of Daniel found in Daniel 6.
From the Scripture, Platt offered four exhortations to the new personnel as they go out into the world with the Good News of God's love. Reading from the passage, he gave the first exhortation: "May your only offense be obedience to God's Word." In the story, Platt said, other people were opposed to God's law but they knew Daniel would be obedient to God's law, no matter what it cost him.
"Real holiness is risking your life for the spread of God's Kingdom," Platt said. "Offend people with obedience to God's Word. Remove obstacles to the Gospel, but don't remove the offense of the Gospel."
Second, Platt exhorted: "May your deepest joy be found and your greatest work be done daily on your knees." When told not to pray to anyone but the king, Daniel decides, "You can take my life, but you can't take my time with the Lord,'" Platt recounted. "Live like that. … God, give us this kind of prayer.
"Prayer is more precious to him than life," Platt added. "Is prayer more precious to you than life?"
Third, Platt said: "May your constant protection be the presence of God." He told how Daniel was tossed into the lion's den for insisting on praying to God, and God delivered him. Daniel testified to God's protection, saying, "My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him" (Daniel 6:22).
"The same God who sent His angels to shut the mouths of lions is the same God who is leading you and is with you every step of your journey — the same God," Platt said. "May your constant protection be the presence of God. … Here's the greatest news: Even if none of us was here, you would not be alone. You have nothing to fear, for He is with you."
Finally, Platt exhorted: "May your life cause nations to give glory to God. In a world of many gods and many kings, tell the world there is one God of gods and one King of kings. This is the point of the story. God designs our lives for the display of His glory.
"God loves you for the sake of His glory among the nations," Platt said. "His love is not intended to center on us, it is intended to spread through us. If we would just get that, it would change our posture in Christianity today."
'God is worthy
During the missionary testimonies, Rose Sharkey*, who is being sent with her husband Alvin* by Open Door church, stated, "Revelation 4:11 says, 'Worthy are you, our Lord, to receive glory, honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.'" God is worthy to receive glory "by the proclamation of His name among His creation who do not know Him," Alvin said.
The Sharkeys are going to share God's glory among Buddhist peoples of South Asia. Like all IMB missionaries, they are supported by Southern Baptists' gifts through the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
The next IMB Sending Celebration will be Wednesday, Nov. 14, in Richmond.

The Newest Heart Risk For Women
This painful problem may be a clue to cardiac health
by Kelly Burgess Published: Jul 23, 2013
Kidney stones could be the painful reminder that your heart needs attention, according to a new study in JAMA.
After analyzing the data of more than 240,000 participants, a history of kidney stones (as known by their medical alias nephrolithiasis) was found to be associated with a significant increase in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. And here's the kicker: It was only in women—not men.
"Previous studies have indicated that they might be associated with other systemic disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes or gout," says lead researcher Pietro Manuel Ferraro, MD, of Columbus-Gemelli Hospital, Rome. "We observed that women with a history of kidney stones may be at a greater risk of developing coronary heart disease independent of other cardiovascular risk factors." Dr. Ferraro says that kidney stones are very common, with about one in every 10 persons experiencing at least one episode.
While researchers can't say conclusively why this gender difference exists, Dr. Ferraro notes that hormonal differences might be a potential explanation.
"Another mechanism might be related to the known differences in calcium metabolism between men and women," says Dr. Ferraro. "Calcium is one of the main components of kidney stones and also part of the atherosclerotic plaque that is often the culprit in coronary heart disease."
Gary C. Curhan, MD, a study co-author and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, says further research into both the gender difference and how kidney stones and CHD are linked may help doctors further identify prevention techniques for cardiac diseases in women. However, Dr. Curhan stresses that not having kidney stones doesn't mean can ignore your overall heart health or that you aren't at risk for CHD.
"There are many other factors in heart disease and everyone should live a healthy lifestyle to reduce their risk," says Dr. Curhan. "Ultimately, that's probably more important than anything."
As a best-case scenario, this study and the follow up research may be an incentive for doctors to think about looking beyond kidney stones to other issues that may be related, since both Drs. Curhan and Ferraro note that kidney stones may become apparent before CHD symptoms.
"If this tips the balance to alert the doctor that there may be something else going on, and leads to earlier diagnosis and treatment, that's a good outcome," says Dr. Curhan.

Tag: You Can't Always Get What You Want
Refraining from "The Living Years"
You ever encounter something in music that you initially appreciate and hold in high regard but it doesn't stand? Time passes, you engage yourself in the ditty and it starts showing flaws that start standing out? It's this realization that both worries you ("Am I a critic now?") and makes you understand why the song isn't a broad sensation that passes the test of time?
There's a number from the 1980's doing that to me now. In some ways I'm guilt ridden by way of it because the song is highly personal… But it's not the song itself that gets to me. No, no, The Living Years has its merits. But the flaw is too outright.
Mike and the Mechanics 1988 song didn't just win a Grammy – it was song of the year. The arrangement is fantastic music and the lyrics are highly personal (the relationship between Mike and his father and his father's passing). There's nothing I can say against those key elements and they're not what's hitting me the wrong way. Yet these weren't what drew me to the song as a kid; the music complimented it and I wouldn't engage myself in the lyrics until adulthood when I came back to the song.
What gets me, what wrings me as wrong, what stands with warts? The refrain, the chorus, the element of songs that pulls the masses in. Read More

Local mattress manufacturer Koala has created a comical spin off out-of-home ad, replicating its competitor De Rucci's well known ad located at Melbourne airport.
The new Koala ad, located at Sydney Airport, has used the face of one of its product designers, Demetre Tryfiatis, to replicate De Rucci's well known, serious face.
"Australia's least pretentious mattress" is the slogan the company has used.
The out-of-home ad which was created in-house, used Koala's design team, creative team and in-house media team.
The mattress company has also adapted its name to 'de Koala' as part of the ad.
The billboard is located on Qantas Drive in Sydney near the International and Domestic terminals Sydney Airport.
I thought that more serious ad was something to do with chefs – like selling knives.
Well, after all these years, now I know.


Delhi, the proud capital of our country and one of the first cities to be declared as a Metro. Apart from being the centre of the most important Govt. buildings, the city is also famous for its rich past and its share of historical monuments. That combined with the pleasant climate and the buzz of activity, makes Delhi a popular place to move to for job opportunities.
Print the agreement on Stamp paper of due value.
The owner and the tenant should sign the agreement in the presence of two witnesses.
Register the agreement at the sub-Registrar office paying the appropriate registration fees.
Purchase stamp paper of recommended value, print your draft on the stamp paper. Alternatively, you can use our Rental Agreement Service and we will do it all for you.
Stamp Duty – It is the duty paid to the Government whenever an agreement or transaction is created. Stamp Duty is calculated on the basis of the value of the transaction. It is paid to the Government by purchasing Stamp paper of due value.
There are two kinds of Stamp papers: the traditional Stamp paper and the e-Stamp paper.
Delhi has dropped the conventional stamp paper systems and shifted entirely to the e-Stamping system operated by Stock Holding Corporation of India (SHCIL). If a person needs Stamp paper he can approach the e-Stamping vendors and purchase it from them. You need to provide your name and the purpose in the application form. The conventional Stamp papers are no longer used in Delhi.
Registration of the lease/rental deed in Delhi has certain procedure that needs to be followed by all.
A Demand Draft (DD) of Rs. 1100 needs to be taken for the Registration charges.
Aadhar card or the receipt received while applying for it, if the person is an Indian. If the person is a foreigner, then original passport is needed.
If the tenant is a company, then the person coming for the registration should bring a board resolution/ authorisation letter from the company mentioning the person's right to register the lease, along with the company seal.
If one person represents the another person for the registration, then the Power of Attorney deed should be brought.
Is Notarization Of Rental Agreement Required?
Some folks opt for Notarisation of the rental agreements but Notarisation is not registration. Hence a Notarised rental deed is never a replacement for a registered deed. Courts do not accept them as evidence in case of disputes. Even if the deed is Notarised, you still need to register it.
The reason given for Notarisation by many Stamp Vendors is that the unregistered document will be considered a legal address proof with Notary seal, but there is no legislation to state so. Notary seal simply states that you have attested it in front of a Notary Public.
In Delhi, the typical duration for rentals is 11 months with provision to renew at the end of 11th month.
The tenant has to pay a monthly rent. In addition to that, the electricity and water charges are also to be paid.
Maintenance charges are also to be paid for cleaning common amenities and maintaining the premises.
Another popular mode of renting is on a long term lease for a certain number of years. There is no monthly rent payable by the tenant. At the end of the term of lease the owner has to return the lease amount to the tenant. Electricity, water and maintenance charges have to be paid regularly by the tenant. There is no interest paid on the lease amount.
The procedure of registration and Stamp Duty are the same as residential properties for renting of the Commercial properties also.
The procedure for registering a commercial lease and the Stamp Duty associated with it are similar to that for rental agreements.
Lock-in period – The period before which neither the Owner nor the tenant can terminate the agreement.
Pets – Whether the tenant can have pets in the rental property.
Overstay – If the tenant continues to stay in the rental property even after the agreement term has ended the owner can charge on per day basis.
Penalty for late payment – If the tenant fails to pay the rent on the scheduled date, a small penalty or fine can be charged by the owner.
Painting, maintenance and repairs – are to be included in the agreement mentioning clearly the duties of the landlord or owner and that of the tenant.
Food habits – The owner should be open about disclosing whether the tenant can cook non-veg food in the premises.
If these clauses are included there will be no unnecessary disputes between the landlord and tenant in future.
Whether you are directly dealing with the owner or any third party impersonating as the owner.
Whether there is an agent or broker to whom you need to pay any brokerage or commission charges. Usually the brokerage or commission is half or full one month rent.
Verify whether the property belongs to the person who claims to be the owner. For this you can check the Electricity or Tax bill.
In case you pay any token advance make sure you are given a receipt by the owner. Or make it through cheque, DD or online transfer.
Talk all terms and conditions initially itself.
There should be a clear written agreement including the important terms and conditions between the owner and tenant.
The agreement should be printed on a Stamp paper of due Government values.
The house or flat should be neatly painted and handed over to the tenant by the owner in good condition. While vacating the premises the tenant shall do the same.
Register the agreement in the Sub-Registrar office by paying the registration charges whatever be the term of agreement. A registered agreement is always safe and legally valid.
Tenant verification at a local police station is compulsory for landlords in Delhi. The Landlord has to provide the details of the tenant to the police and the tenant also has to co-operate in this regard. Failure to do so is punishable under the law.
Deposit – In Delhi, the usual trend is to collect 2 to 3 months worth of rent as security deposit. This deposit is to be refunded by the owner to the tenant at the time of the tenant vacating the premises. No interest is paid on deposit amount.
Token Advance – At the time of blocking the house for rent, the tenant sometimes pays a small token advance to the owner. This is to prevent the owner entertaining other potential tenants. The token advance blocks the property until such time as either party backs out. Once the token advance is given, it is understood that both parties are ready to enter into the agreement. But if either of the party backs out from proceeding further, then that party has to make good the loss to the other party.
Ashok is the owner of a 2 bedroom house. He lets it out on monthly rent of Rs. 8000/- to Mahesh for a period of 11 months. The security deposit is Rs.50000/-.They make a rental agreement on a 50 rupees Stamp paper. Things go well till 5 months. Mahesh pays rent till 5 months after which he stops paying the rent and also refuses to move out. Ashok immediately approaches the Court. The Court impounds the agreement for deficit Stamp Duty paid and imposes the fine of up to 10 times the Stamp Duty to be paid. So what will be the penalty Ashok has to pay? Let us calculate.
Hence Ashok will have to pay Rs. 18600/- to the Court as fine for non payment of Stamp Duty.
But if Ashok has initially made the agreement by paying the proper Stamp Duty he would have had to pay only Rs. 1860/- Hence it is always recommended that you pay the appropriate Stamp Duty and be relaxed.
An unregistered rental deed is never an evidence in the Courts. It is just a collateral evidence and cannot be used to prove one's claims. Hence, Registering rental agreement is very essential to be on the safer side.
Amit let out his flat for rent to Vikas. He made the agreement on Stamp paper of due value. But he did not register it at the Sub-Registrar office. The agreement was signed by both. For the first 4 months, Vikas paid the rent properly. the rent was fixed at Rs. 5000/-. After 4 months, Vikas stopped paying the rent. Amit approached the Court. Though his agreement was properly Stamp Duty paid, the Court refused to accept the deed as evidence. Vikas claimed that the rent was only 1500 and not 3500/- as claimed by Amit. He also refused to have signed the deed and completely denied making any agreement with the owner. Since the document was not registered, it could never be used as an evidence and for lack of evidence Amit had to lose the fight.

(On first impressions of Seattle) It's beautiful. I've never really been here except last year when we played. But I've never been around Seattle, what a gorgeous place. What great scenery. The lunch room, you kind of walking in the lunch room, you see the lake. Doesn't get too much better than that so yeah it's exciting to be here and I'm excited to be here.
(On how everything came about with the Seahawks) Well I just got a phone call a few days ago and put the wheels in motion and things worked out.
(On other offers and other teams) Yeah, you know, I've been searching for the right situation and what I felt was best. I want to go somewhere that they can win and when they called, I know they're definitely capable of winning here and winning big so it was exciting to think that maybe I get a chance to play in some games I've never played in before and have a chance of doing that.
(On playing against Seahawks twice last year) They fly around. They have a lot of fun. They play hard and they play together. They're a tough team to beat. I know that. I've played them a few times. We played them twice last year and then caught them early, I think, in Carroll's tenure. But they're as tough as it gets – multiple fronts, a lot of athletes and a lot of speed and you better be ready to deal with it so it will be a lot more fun, I think, playing with them than playing against them.
(On observations during practice session today) Well you definitely see why they fly around and the tempo in which they practice with, so it's definitely an adjustment. But it's like I said, they have a lot fun doing it and I can see why it's maintained. I think when you have that kind of mindset; you have that kind of thought of 'Hey we're going to go out there and we're going to have fun but we're going to work hard,' I think you're able to maintain that. I think a lot of teams, you know, your first couple days of camp, you're flying around, everyone's having fun but then when you get into the dog days of camp, things slow down and their tempos not there. You can see why they're able to maintain it around here.
(On what he was doing during the offseason) I live in Houston [Texas] in the offseason so down there, sweating it out. It's nice to be in a little bit of better temperature but yeah, that's where we live. So there are a lot of guys down there – working out with a lot of old teammates, etc.
(On zone blocking scheme and Tom Cable runs) Yeah, I think so. I think some of my best years have been in that zone scheme, obviously with Alex Gibbs, way back in Houston and that whole scheme after that and so I've had some of my best years and some of the best teams I've played on have used it. I think it's a perfect fit for me and it definitely helps me with the learning process. I think, you know, obviously you got to learn how they call things, some of it is the same and some of it is different but I think it will definitely help me learn quicker, just knowing the techniques and not having to learn everything completely new.
(On what ultimately made the Seahawks the right fit for him) I think just the opportunity. I think the opportunity, not only at my position but the opportunity with the team. I wanted to go somewhere and win. I think this had everything so I looked at the situation – obviously I wanted to be a part of something special and I think these guys have a chance to do something special again this year.
(On both mentoring and competing against Justin Britt) Yeah, I think, anytime you that become a vet in this league, you've got an obligation to the young guys that come after you – to help them, teach them and obviously to compete against them. I had the same when I was coming up in Houston. I had older guys that I was competing against but at the same time, took me under their wing. If Britt wants me to do that, then I'll do that and if he doesn't want to hear it, then I won't but I'll be here for him and always be here to help him, that's for sure.
(On his similar situation last year in Arizona) It's a constant. They're always getting guys ready and young guys are coming in behind you and playing. I think it's your obligation to play good enough to hold them off and if it's not, then it's not the best thing for the team so at the end of the day they'll do what's best for the team and I've got to take care of my business to belong out there.
(On playing multiple positions on the O-line) Yeah, I've played a little guard here and there but I've played the vast majority of my games at right tackle, almost all of them so that's probably where I would say I'm the best at.
(On his NFL Players Association role — he's the NFLPA president) In the recent past, the guy hasn't played but it's an active player's role and that will continue on.
(On his enjoyment of those duties) Yeah, it's been really interesting. It's been fun. I've always been an advocate for the players and trying to help them out and trying to help make their lives a little bit better and make them understand what it means to be a pro and help them out. We do so much at the PA and I think it's my job to help make that better.
(On any discussion with the Cardinals) Yeah, you know, I've had talks with a lot of teams. But things didn't materialize as much as I think, they did here and obviously, like I said, I think the opportunity here helped pushed some of those things along, I think, on both sides. I think I wanted to be here and I think they wanted me to be here so I think that helped move things along pretty fast.
(On being thrown into the competition today) Yeah, putting on a helmet this morning, it was like 'Now, this is really happening'. Once you've done it for as long as I have, it's kind of "old hat" a little bit. Obviously, the tempo here is a little quicker than what you can replicate in any kind of training session by yourself but at the same time you get used to it. Practice is practice and putting on the pads, it never really leaves you, sometimes, in the offseason.
(On long standing starting streak) Yeah, I think, 119, I think it's at or something like that. It's definitely luck. It's definitely luck, not having a guy roll up on you or whatever, everything. You know, I like to think I put the work in and not just in the weight room but also in the training room. Staying flexible, staying healthy. You're inevitably going to get caught in a pile and if you're not flexible, something is going to pop so I think I've gotten into some precarious situations and able to kind of shake it off and walk out of the pile, I think, in one piece because I put some of the work in. So I do believe it's not just luck, some of its hard work but I also think the zone system kind of helps you not get rolled up on. I think when everyone's going the same direction and guys aren't crossing each other and I think just being an athlete – staying on your feet, staying off the ground. Those kind of things that are ingrained in practice and through these coaches and coaches that I've had in the past I think has also helped on that so it all plays together but some of its luck, some of its work and hopefully I can keep it going.


life and Your name would be glorified.
be glad all our days.
But he also gave much special attention to the concerns of those believers that he cared for. "We dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children," Paul said, "encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 NIV).
Oh beloved, as we serve each other, may we serve with the tender loving care of our Savior, encouraging and comforting each other in our spiritual growth and journey (Hebrews 10:24).
Dear Lord, help me to be sensitive and caring as I serve others. Help me to love others tenderly as You so tenderly love and care for me. Amen.
God pours His love into our hearts to flow out to other's lives.
Have a Jesus filled Sunday.

Populated for centuries by aboriginal peoples, the island was claimed by the Spanish Crown in 1493 following Columbus' second voyage to the Americas. In 1898, after 400 years of colonial rule that saw the indigenous population nearly exterminated and African slave labor introduced, Puerto Rico was ceded to the US as a result of the Spanish-American War. Puerto Ricans were granted US citizenship in 1917 and popularly elected governors have served since 1948. In 1952, a constitution was enacted providing for internal self-government. In plebiscites held in 1967, 1993, and 1998 voters chose to retain commonwealth status.
When Christopher Columbus stepped ashore in Guánica (or Aguadilla, both towns claim the honor) in 1492 he encountered a flourishing Taíno culture. Within decades the Indians disappeared, but not before leaving their mark on the character that was to become Puerto Rican. African slaves replaced the Indians as laborers, and their culture too went into the crucible forged by more than four centuries of Spanish dominance. The symbol of the Institute of Puerto Rico Culture depicts these three influences: Indian, African and Spanish. In broad terms, that is an accurate ethnic amalgam, but culture and history are never easy to explain. Into the mix have to go Chinese workers, who built the railroads and remained; Spanish Loyalists fleeing revolution in South America; Corsicans who populated the coffee county out on the island; French immigrants from Haiti and Louisiana; a smattering of Scots and Irish; and droves of North Americans following the Spanish American War.
