I never said that raising funds is easy. I am only emphasizing the need to put a long term arrangement in place. I recalled an arrangement suggested earlier but not tried upon in a serious way. As a small contributor, I should not be saying too much on the subject. But I feel it is possible to enroll a sizable number of contributing members by spreading the message using the power of the net. I honestly feel that we should not again find ourselves in a situation of raising funds just before the program with great difficulty through the hectic efforts of a few people.
dear Parthavi what i was trying to say is there are not many people who are serious when it comes to funding - small or big no matter , its the question of one's participation which is lacking . while saying so , i should admit that this year it has been better and more new faces are coming in , and the future seems to be better with all your support .
dear parthavi - you (and every one)have/ has a right to suggest how well we can execute to reach our task -contribution is not the only criteria .
You deserve a special appreciation from me for selecting Mr. Sampath as a recipient of our award for this year. I saw the video recorded in my camera and watched his 'from the heart speech'. Completely felled by his rare information.
Plus that also led me to hear the song 'pesuvadhu kilaya'. Was bamboozed to hear the two interludes in which Mangalamurthy's accordion and the violins counter each other and create havoc. I did not count, but would have heard again and again more than 100 times only those 2 interludes leaving others by switching with the help of the timer.
After hearing for many years, today I realized that I was wrong in assuming that both the interludes were same. Though a casual hearing could make that feeling, a careful hearing will reveal that in the first interlude it is the accordion which takes the lead and the violins counter it. Whereas in the second interlude it is the violins which take the lead and the accordion counter them. In the second interlude, there is a subtle finishing touch given by Mangalamurthy in his accordion while finishing those counter melody pieces which is then followed by Flute. Of course the counter melody pieces and the flute are separated by Philips' guitar strumming.
That those two interludes are different from each other is a revelation for me. Thanks once again, but at the same time you must also take my friendly curses because it completely made my day's official work upside down. But still I managed to finish my work.
i should thank the team which readily accepted my proposal . i am really happy it really clicked , because vatsan ,siva , and myself were little reserved about his work on stage and as a back up plan only we brought in Mr shyam ,to be honest . but as happened , both mr shyam and mr sampath , took the programme to dizzy heights . this gives me more courage to go for similar as interaction programme .
pls see separate posting on this .
re friendly blaming -i am happy because ,or my family had same grouse against MSV as my studies were spoiled because my constant hook up to radio . but they realised recently , inspite of all pressures/down falls i had i still donot have BP the main reason is MSV and his creations , together with madurai mani and madurai somu and MS .
friendly warnings we still to hear a great amount from other VIPs sooner ,so plan yr work little better there will be more diversions take care !!!!
First of all, I must thank you for your continued efforts in making the information reach so many. I was reminded by your SMS messages and was so happy to receive such good news about the programme. It was this effort, plus the kind words from many forum friends like Professor, Ramki sir, Murali sir (and a few others) that drew me out from Hyderabad. Such a sustained effort and similar approach from many of us would definitely attract many more MSV lovers every time.
The programme was conducted really nicely. I have attended such functions earlier in my student life. But, no such function could have boasted a hero of the show worthy of grand adoration, love, respect and worship as our MM. I must confess, the mood was devotional of sorts on that evening. This was my first meeting of many of our forum friends, but I felt at home. Starting with the prayers behind the stage, enthusiastic stage arrangements, excellent description of songs by Mr.Vatsan, personal attention to all dignitaries and even to those attending the function, ...this function was purely self-motivated and fueled only by the love for MM.
The most attractive feature was the selection of songs! Who could have thought of such melodies (forgotten by the world) from our Master!! Many of those gems, deeply hidden in our hearts, were heard once again!
The anxious moments of meeting MM and Tabla Prasad, and later seeing him play, made my life worthy. Thanks all for these opportunities!
Due credit to the music troupe playing such lovely numbers, in spite of their shortcomings in some songs.
In spite of the late hours or fear of missing the last bus to my native place, I sat till the last song. You do not get such a chance to hear such songs always (I still missed the last bus...Thanks Murali Sir to help me get dropped by Mr.Srikumar at Koyambedu, and for your kind enquiries about my safety next morning)!
Thanks one and all! It was a nice get together eventhough I could not converse much with many of our forum members. At least I had the chance to see many of the stalwarts!


Let's be honest, it was no hardship to trade subzero temperatures for 60's and blue skies. This was my second time visiting Austin and it is just a fun town - very easy to get around for a convention. I think I mentioned in my pre-QuiltCon post that I was only there for half the convention due to a family wedding...but I do feel like I squeezed a lot in during that time.
First things first, once again QuiltCon was super well done. I know absolutely nothing about planning a convention, but I am so impressed with how everything played out. I checked in on Thursday morning. There was a CRAZY and I mean CRAZY long line, but once the kiosks opened it moved really quickly and I was up in my first class of the day with plenty of time to spare.
My first (and only) class was embroidery with Alison Glass. Alison set up this giant frame and showed us embroidery stitches super sized so everyone could see. SO SMART!
Then we all got to work on our projects while we chatted. It was sort of like sewing social time and I loved every minute of it. Very relaxing.
I spent some time in lectures, and the rest of the time on the floor. I really focused my attention on the quilts. And there were so many awesome quilts to see. It was pretty overwhelming (in the best way possible).
Most of the quilts I saw did not use a standard grid layout. I think if your goal is to have a quilt in this show next year, that should be a strong hint as to what you might want to consider submitting.
I noticed a ton of matchstick quilting. Another hint, hint I think.
I'm a huge fan of Nydia Kennley's quilts. Above you'll see her with her award winning improvisational quilt, The Rabbit Hole. I watched this one come together on Instagram - you must follow her if you have an Instagram account! The quilting alone. Wow. It's matchstick quilting, a mix of different colored thread, with some hand quilted straight lines mixed in as well.
A fun moment for me was to turn down this aisle and see quilts by my coauthors Katie, Lee and me, all related to Vintage Quilt Revival : two quilts from the book itself and one quilt that was a spin off from one of the patterns.
A personal all time favorite of mine, Improv Double Wedding Ring by Natalie Sabik, was on display. What a treat to see this one in person.
After Austin I flew to Florida for a few days. Part of this time was spent relaxing poolside with my one and only purchase from QuiltCon - The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters: A Guide to Creating, Quilting, and Living Courageously by Sherri Lynn Wood. This book is beautiful. Just trust me and go buy it. I'm sure I'll be doing a more in depth review of it soon on the blog.

Celebrating Five Years – and Proof Rehabilitation Works

LandWorks celebrates five years, with proof rehabilitation works
Annual Supporters Day raises £3000
As ministers struggle to get to grips with a growing prison population, the pioneering resettlement scheme LandWorks celebrates five years of success rehabilitating prisoners, with an astonishing record of 92% employment amongst its 'graduates'.
At its annual open day on August 17th, over 190 supporters gathered in a former quarry on the Dartington estate to celebrate five years of remarkable work with prisoners from Channings Wood near Newton Abbot, and people on community sentences.
"Just look around and see what we have achieved together, transforming a scruffy old quarry, an eyesore, overgrown with weeds into this flourishing and inspirational workspace," said Chair of Trustees Ted Tuppen CBE.
Current trainees, graduates, donors and supporters mingled in the sunshine, enjoyed lunch and bought wooden bowls and chopping boards, ceramic mugs and bowls made by the trainees and fresh veg grown in the large market garden, to raise vital funds for the project and hear about its success, working with people who are committed to change their ways.
One graduate, Jarvis, gave a moving account of his life of crime (about 8 prison sentences from 3 months to 10 years, which he could recite without hesitating), and told the invited guests how excited he was to have just received his first pay cheque for his new job. "I'm 53 years old, I've been a career criminal and never had a job in my life, I'm like a kid at Christmas," said Jarvis.
Jarvis is a remarkable example of a prisoner who took the decision to turn his life around and with the help of the intense work done at LandWorks has succeeded in doing just that. His story is proof, said Project Director Chris Parsons, that this form of holistic resettlement support works, and that the investment in rehabilitation is worth it: "We hope that the LandWorks model could be replicated by others to provide effective resettlement in other communities."
While the per day cost of a prisoner at LandWorks is higher than a day in prison, the knock-on effect is worth it, said Tuppen.
"These men have all become fully contributing, economically active, tax-paying members of society, and are no longer a drain on police and probation services."
Tuppen spoke of a national conversation about cutting the number of custodial sentences and increasing the use of community-based sentences to help reduce the prison population and drew attention to the massive underfunding of the probation service.
"Recent privatisation of part of the probation service was designed to improve efficiency and save money. It may have saved money, but it has not worked, with those brave and committed enough to stay on hopelessly under-resourced, massively overworked and barely able to keep up with the people for whom they are often the only link with normality.
"Increasing use of community sentencing makes a lot of sense but will only succeed if these best intentions are backed up with the right structures and resources.
"Look at other prison models around the world, look at LandWorks, look at the whole area of prisoner rehabilitation to see what works and provide the resources to give these people the investment that they deserve.
"So there it is: long-term investment versus short term savings. Whatever your political colour, this is the message that we must deliver to government."
Since it was founded in 2013, LandWorks has helped 68 people back into the community through work-based training such as landscaping, market gardening and woodworking, and the development of life and social skills. Over 92% of its graduates are now in employment, and the reoffending rate is just 6% at LandWorks, compared to a national average of 46%.
Commercial enterprises now generate over 20% of the charity's running costs and Parsons told supporters that the charity has enough funding to feel secure going forward but stressed that fundraising continues to be crucial to its future. Nearly £3,000 was raised on the day, with some of that going towards a rotavator for the garden.

The Filmoteca de Catalunya will screen on Wednesday June 27 at 6:30 p.m. the documentary In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life With Saul Leiter, with the participation of Margit Erb, director of the [Saul Leiter Foundation] (http:// //saulleiterfoundation.org/), and Roger Szmulewicz, curator of the exhibition.
"Saul Leiter could have been considered the greatest pioneer of color photography, but he was never tempted by the bait of success. Instead she preferred to drink coffee and photograph in his own way, all by kneading a file of a work of great beauty that is now stacked in his New York apartment. An intimate and personal film that Leiter follows while having to deal with the triple burden of cleaning a floor full of memories, being world famous with 80 years and avoiding an annoying filmmaker" (Tomas Leach).
Screening: In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter
Address: Tomas Leach
Production: United Kingdom
Original language: English

Activity only for Friends and Members: Preview of the retrospective exhibition of Bruce Davidson at the MAPFRE Foundation in Barcelona
May 27, 2016 17:00 - 19:00
Bruce Davidson is one of the most prominent photographers of the so-called humanist photography and member of the Magnum agency. This retrospective exhibition runs throughout his career, more than fifty years of continuous work, and features some of his most celebrated series...
SAUL LEITER: In Search of Beauty
June 29, 2018 - October 21, 2018
Foto Colectania shows the work of Saul Leiter, the surprising precursor of color photography
Leiter combined photography and painting all his life, and continued painting daily until his death in November 2013 at age 89. But the camera became the medium through which he managed to capture and interpret the life of New York City in multi-layered compositions, as well as in intimate scenes, as nobody had done before.
Exclusive activity for Friends: "The Collection opens its doors"
Last Monday, February 11, at 7:00 p.m., we took some photographs from the conservation chamber to share with the Friends of Foto Colectania. In addition to commenting on the stories behind the photographs and their authors, we talked about some of the keys to photography collecting, as well as other aspects related to the management and conservation of photographs.

10 Crucial Advantages of Native Mobile Application Development
Business Software & Updates Technology
by tekadmin December 7, 2020 0106
Mobile apps are a great way for businesses to engage with their customers.
Therefore, you will see that many online companies are developing their mobile apps to serve their customers.
When you plan to build a mobile app for your business, then you may get puzzled while deciding whether to develop a native app or a hybrid app.
Both of these have their pros and cons. However, compared to hybrid apps, native apps offer many advantages.
In this article, we will share with you the benefits that you would get by developing a native mobile application to wow your customers with amazing performance and capabilities.
1 Advantages of developing a native mobile app
1.1 Faster running of app code
1.2 The native app is available in the app store
1.3 Enhanced security
1.4 Higher performance
1.5 Easier to add additional features
1.6 Lesser bugs
1.7 Unified UI/UX
1.8 It integrates better with mobile hardware
1.10 Native apps can work offline too
1.11 Stability of the app
Advantages of developing a native mobile app
Native apps can optimally utilize the components of the user's smartphones to give them a fantastic experience.
Due to this reason, it is advantageous to build a native app despite the extra cost and effort you have to spend on developing it.
Faster running of app code
Since the developer uses the platform core programming language and APIs to create native apps, it makes them more efficient.
Furthermore, these apps are compiled and installed on the mobile phone of the users. It allows them to leverage the processing speed of the device to give a blazing fast performance.
In comparison, the hybrid app performance is affected by the internet speed that is not in the case of the native app.
The native app is available in the app store
One of the biggest advantages of a native app is that you can display it in the App Store.
A customer looking for an app will always go to the App Store to find an app that would satisfy his/her needs.
Therefore, your app must be launched in the App Store to improve its visibility amongst your target audience.
As the App Store only displays native apps, your app gets additional mileage compared to a hybrid app in terms of brand awareness and visibility.
Native apps are more secure than hybrid apps because they are protected by the operating system itself. On the other hand, hybrid apps rely on system browser security.
Furthermore, the native apps use the official APIs that are rigorously tested across various systems.
Compared to this, the hybrid apps rely on third-party systems, which increase their vulnerability.
As the native apps use the inbuilt features of the smartphone, they are more responsive and faster.
As the native apps are written in a language that is specific to a platform, they can access the unique elements and APIs, which allows them to run smoothly.
As these apps can utilize the exceptional elements and APIs which are optimized for multiple devices, they operate effectively.
Easier to add additional features
The native app uses the APIs, which give the developers a greater field for creativity.
Additionally, if the existing API doesn't give you the freedom to express your creativity to the fullest, then you can always build the APIs that allow you to do so.
This allows the developer to add additional features in the native mobile apps more easily compared to the hybrid app.
Lesser bugs
When you are developing the app, you don't have to rely on cross-platform tools.
This makes it easier to maintain and also the number of bugs is comparatively lesser than the hybrid apps, wherein you have to maintain two app codes (compared to one in a native app).
Unified UI/UX
In the native app, the entire UI is standardized, which in turn reduces the learning curve resulting in an improved user experience.
While creating a native application, the app designers can apply the best standards that significantly improve the user experience through a highly interactive user interface.
It integrates better with mobile hardware
One of the significant advantages of using a native app is that it can leverage the inbuilt hardware capabilities of a smartphone such as GPS, accelerometer, camera, and others.
Since the native apps are built for a specific platform, it can naturally interact with the hardware components of a smartphone.
Since native apps focus on only one platform, you can configure it faster as there are no compatibility issues that need to be sorted out.
Moreover, if there are two native projects, they are unique, thus, you don't need to stress about the accord of an app reliance in multiple versions for different platforms such as Android or iOS and you can integrate all the features in your desired platform.
As such, apps offer fewer limitations; the developers can easily scale up if such a requirement arises.
Native apps can work offline too
If you develop your native app, then it will allow the users of your app to use it even if there is no connectivity.
In a native app, a lot of the data is stored in the smartphone of the app user, which allows them to use some of its features without needing an internet connection.
Stability of the app
Operating platforms like Android and iOS offer continuous support to enhance the performance of their platforms as well as the app builders.
This ensures that the native apps that are specific to a particular platform will be more stable and have fewer maintenance issues compared to hybrid apps that use cross-platform frameworks.
Native apps offer a high degree of reliability and stability. If you want to optimize the users' experience, the native app is the best answer that ticks all the boxes.
However, the budget is one of the reasons due to which people prefer to go with hybrid apps. Despite your budget, if you develop a native app, it will be beneficial to you in the long run.
This comparison between native and hybrid apps has been running since the introduction of hybrid frameworks in the market. If you are confused about whether to choose native or hybrid, then refer to this blog on the native vs hybrid app.
From this blog, you will have an in-depth understanding of hybrid, and you can decide to build a great app on a relevant platform that would help you to achieve your business goals.

WHERE SURGERY IS PATIENT-CENTERED
The Spine Surgery Center of Eugene is a different kind of facility created for an ever-growing number of patients. Our clients are informed, thoughtful and not to mention busy. They know there are alternatives to hospitalization-and they're right. In fact, nearly 65% of all surgeries are now performed in Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (ASFs).
Thanks to advances in technology made by Dr. Keiper, Dr. Sherman and others, patients can now elect a minimally-invasive spine surgery on an outpatient basis. It's a win-win for everyone: 1) patients - faster recovery and less exposure to infections borne by really sick patients; 2) physicians - who use equipment of their choice and who are assisted by staff who are specially trained in spine surgery; 3) cost control - surgery centers are able to reduce cost of surgery by 30-50% and 4) the community - Spine Surgery Center provides an upbeat work environment for its staff, warm and personal interaction with the healthcare community, and influence on community health standards
WHY OUTPATIENT SURGERY?
Outpatient surgery is not about doing things faster or trying to recreate a "hospital" environment while cutting corners. It's true that the minimally-invasive spine procedures at the Spine Surgery Center of Eugene usually take less time-and often cost much less. But they're still surgeries, and we treat them as such. What's unique about KeiperSpine and the Spine Surgery Center is that patients can actually find a quicker, more affordable solution that's also far more comfortable and personal.
HOW DOES KEIPERSPINE FIT IN?
Dr. Keiper and several associates opened the Spine Surgery Center of Eugene in 2007. It was designed to accommodate the needs of spine patients and it is a state-of-the-art facility, licensed by the State of Oregon. It met scrupulous standards to be certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and accredited by the American Association of Ambulatory Health Care Facilities (a national organization which grants accreditation to hospitals and surgery centers). Dr. Keiper, Dr. Sherman and Dr. Coelho perform surgeries for the patients of their individual practices.
Spine Surgery Center of Eugene is:
An Ambulatory Surgery Facility (ASF) as defined by the Oregon Administrative Rules
Licensed by the State of Oregon Health Division, Dept. of Human Services
Accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) in compliance with rigorous standards

The power of Rama's name
By Kanaka Ramakrishna
What is in a name? A rose would smell the same by any other name. Once the name is given to an object, the association is inevitable. 'Rama' is not just a name. It has deep significance, its own glory, power and strength. As soon as the name is mentoned, the image of Rama also rises in one's mind. 'Ram nam' is one of the sweetest and most popular uttering in Indian psyche. Even Alexander the Great said before leaving India, that his impressions about India was – 'Rama's name and Ganga water'
The name 'Rama' existed from time immemorial, even before Dasaratha's son Rama was born. Sage Vasishta meditated on the name 'Rama' for quite a long time. Sage Manu said that 'Rama nama' has links to all other mantras that ever existed. It is said that the 'Pranava' or 'Omkara' has originated from the name Rama. When Dasaratha wanted his family priest Vasistha to name his babies, he named the first baby 'Rama', who is one of the ten incarnations of Vishnu, and popularly worshipped by many Hindus.
The two main strands in the Hindu pantheon are the worship of Narayana (Vishnu) and Shiva. The 'moola mantra' for Narayana is, "Om Namo Narayana" and the 'moola Mantra' for Siva is' "Om Nama Sivaya". In the Narayana Mantra, the life of the Mantra lies in the letters 'ra' and in the Shiva mantra, the life of the mantra lies in the letters 'ma'. If these two life-giving letters are removed from these mantras, they become lifeless and inauspicious. The Divine secret lies in combining the life giving letters 'Ra' and 'Ma' from these two mantras and forming a name 'RAMA' for the Nirguna Parabrahma, which has no name or form or quality. 'Rama' is neither associated with Shiva nor Narayana, but an indicative name of the 'Suddha Brahma'.
Every mantra in the Hindu scripture has its own name. But by naming the Nameless as 'Rama', it is the only mantra that is called "Taraka Mantra". Taraka means ' that helps to cross'- to cross the ocean of samsara of this world. Chanting the name 'Rama', with love and faith, gives strength to overcome the problems of life. Those who pray with steadfast devotion can obtain the knowledge of the Supreme.
Parvathi wanted to hear from Lord Shiva, the easy method to chant the thousand names of Vishnu. Lord Shiva told her the beautiful name Rama, Rama, Rama, is equivalent to chanting one thousand names of Vishnu. (Vishnu Sahasranama.)
"Sri Rama Rameti Rame Raame Manorame
Sahasra Naama Tattulyam Ramanama varaanane."
It is believed that in Varanasi Lord Vishvanatha imparts Rama's name to each and every being at the time of death. Not only human beings, even gods have been blessed by Rama's name like the well-known story of the competition between Vinayaka and Muruga. When Muruga diligently circumambulated (pradakshina) his parents on his peacock with great speed, Ganesha wrote 'RAMA' on the sand and made pradakshina, as it was equivalent to going round the whole world. Siva was immensely pleased and made him the leader of all his ganas and he got the name 'Ganapathy'.
When Ravana abducted Sita and kept her in his'Ashoka vana' in Lanka, Sita was one pointedly thinking and chanting Rama's name day and night. While she held her life-breath meditating on Rama to come and release her, even death could not dare to touch her. Hanuman, after meeting Sita in Lanka, came back to Rama and describing her pitiable state of mind he said, "Constant meditation on you is the door keeper that guards the door of Ma Sita's heart not to allow her life to depart. She has fixed the gaze of her mental vision on your lotus feet and has locked the door. Then, from which way the life can depart?"
"The name of 'Rama' is mightier than Rama Himself," said saint Tulasidas. It is not easy for ordinary persons to know the greatness of Rama's name. Only Valmiki and Hanuman knew His greatness. When Valmiki said, 'RA', all his sins from his blood and flesh came out completely from inside of his body and he became pure and got salvation. As soon as Hanuman said, 'MA', all his sins came out of his body and the word 'Ma', like a doorkeeper stood out side, protecting him forever by not letting any more sin to enter his body and he became pure.
Hanuman constantly chanted the name of Rama that helped him to achieve many wonderful feats. It was through the power of Rama's name, he was able to cross the wide ocean of several miles in just one leap to Lanka and was able to find Sita in Ravana's "Ashoka vana." When the vaanaras were building the bridge on the unfathomable ocean to go to Lanka, the rocks drowned in the water. Hanuman simply said, 'chant Rama's divine name and the rocks would not sink. The vanaras complied and immediately the rocks floated, they were convinced in the efficacy of Rama's name and the bridge was built.
Hanuman wanted to carry the mountain in the Himalayas that contained the herbs to save Rama, Lakshmana and the vaanara army, who were wounded and were lying unconscious in the battlefield. Only by Rama's powerful name he lifted and brought the mountain, which saved the lives of Rama and others. Rama was saved only by the power of his name! Again, when Lakshmana was about to die with severe wounds, Hanuman for the second time, brought the mountain from the Himalayas with the speed of the wind and saved Lakshmana, only by the power of Rama's name.
Further, with the power of Rama's name, Hanuman was able to enter the nether world, where Rama and Lakshmana were imprisoned by Ahiravana and were unconscious by his spell. When they were about to be sacrificed to the Goddess, just at the nick of the time Hanuman entered and killed Ahiravana and others. No doubt, Sri Rama protects his virtuous devotees, and destroys the wicked enemies. But, when it came to save Rama, just uttering His name was powerful enough for Hanuman to kill the enemies and carry the unconscious Rama and Lakshmana on his shoulders to their camp. Again the power of Rama's name saved Rama himself!
When the purpose of Rama's incarnation on this earth was fulfilled, before leaving his mortal body, Rama asked Hanuman to go into deep samadhi and attain the eternal Bliss of Brahman. Hanuman declined saying that he would prefer to live on this earth, where Rama was born, and His name ever playing on his lips, is bliss to him. Hearing this, Rama asked Hanuman, " why is it you value my name more than me?" Hanuman replied, " My Lord, You are only a mortal incarnation, whereas your name and deeds are eternal. Hence your name on this earth is eternal." As long as Rama's name is chanted on this earth, Hanuman will be always present at such places.
While mythologies and scriptures are abundant with the glory of Rama's name and His grace, in modern age also we hear the experiences of His devotees, who were blessed by His grace. Two such experiences may be recalled here. Swami Vivekananda was an unknown monk before going to America. After his guru passed away, he wanted to travel throughout India from North to South as a 'parivrajaka', mostly by foot and sometimes by train, if some kind person provided him a ticket. Once, he was travelling by train on one of the hottest days thirsty and hungry, and he had not eaten food since the previous day. A co-passenger in the train, a rich merchant, quenched his thirst with water and while eating the rich food he had brought with him, went on chastising the swami for living on alms and not earning his livelihood, though he was young and strong and was a social parasite and so on. The swami ignored his remarks and turned his face away from him. When the train reached the station, they all got down and had to wait for the next connecting train. The merchant sat inside in the shade, in the waiting area, and the swami sat on the ground outside, leaning against a post.
After a while, a man hurriedly came to the swami, carrying a bundle and water in his hands, requested the swami to accept the food he had brought for him. The swami was surprised and told that he must have mistaken him for somebody, as he did not know him. The man insisted that there was no mistake and explained to him what happened. After finishing his morning business in his sweetmeat shop, he went home, finished his lunch and was having a nap. He had a vision of Sri Rama, pointing out the swami to him, telling that his devotee was starving without food since the previous day, and he should prepare some food and run to the station to feed him. The man thought it was only a dream and went back to his nap. But again Sri Rama appeared and urged him to take the food immediately. The man told the swami that he had not mistaken him as Sri Rama had already shown him. The swami was very much moved and accepted the food with deep gratitude. The jeering merchant who was witnessing the whole incident, was stunned and came to the swami to apologise, made pranams and left.
Another incident happened during the period of Emperor Akbar's rule. Once, Akbar and his trusted minister Birbal while going on some royal duty, had to pass through a forest. They were very tired and hungry. They rested under a tree and after a while, Akbar suggested that they should go and look for some food. Birbal did not want to go and quietly started 'Ramnam' japa. Akbar told him that mere chanting would not bring any food and he left by himself. After a while, he saw a village at a distance and came to a house where the family members were very happy to serve the food for the emperor. After the meal, Akbar took some food for Birbal also and came back. He gave the food to Birbal and told him he got the food by self- effort, and mere Ramnam chanting did not get him food. Birbal quietly ate the food and said, ' To day the emperor had to beg the food, while Rama got me food through the emperor, that too by begging. That is the power of Rama nama.'
'Rama Nama' is the only eternal solution to the eternal problems of human life. The ultimate answer to the question of helplessness that one may have to face in life is, when all other powers have failed, meditation on His Lotus Feet, thinking of Him, and chanting His name is the only way. It provides mental poise and serenity, which cannot be obtained by any other means. He alone is the help of the helpless, the power of the powerless, the secure of the insecure, and the everlasting treasure for all. He is the Sat-Chit-Ananda, ever enshrined in our hearts.

Izrađen je od većeg broja tankih bambusovih letvica koje su na više mjesta međusobno povezane kožnim trakama, rjeđe konopcem od sintetičkog ili pamučnog materijala, a na oba kraja kožnim kapicama. Udarci zadani shinai-em ne mogu nanijeti ozbiljnije ozljede, jer je sila udarca znatno ublažena međusobnim djelovanjem bambusovih letvica od kojih se sastoji. Stoga se i koristi se za vježbanje mačevanja kad je potreban kontakt između dva borca, kako bi se izbjegle moguće ozljede, a pravilno zadan udarac jasno se čuje kao prasak.

Povijest
Nije točno poznato kada se shinai prvi puta pojavio kao sredstvo za obuku mačevanja, no sigurno je da se shinai kakvog ga poznajemo u današnjem obliku pojavio tijekom Edo razdoblja (1603. – 1868.), točnije početkom 18. stoljeća, te doživio mnoge kritike konzervativnih učitelja mačevanja, koji su se zalagali za tradicionalni, grubi oblik obuke, gdje se koristila prava ili drvena sablja, bokken i nije se koristila zaštitna oprema.

Građa i sastavni dijelovi
Shinai, jer se koristi kao zamjena za pravu sablju, sastoji se i od osnovnih dijelova koji se nazivaju slično kao i dijelovi tradicionalne japanske sablje (katana), a satoji se osnovno od drške sa štitnikom za šaku i "sječiva".

Rukohvat:
 tsuka (tsuka-gawa) - drška
 tsuba - štitnik za šaku u obliku diska, izrađen od jakog pamučnog materijala ili sintetike

Sječivo:
 tsuru - uzdužna nit s jedne strane koja predstavlja "sječivo"
 nakayui - kožni povez koji se nalazi na početku zadnje trećine "sječiva", a predstavlja datotsu, zonu ispravno zadanog udarca
 monouchi - zadnja trećina "oštrice", proteže se od vrha shinaia do nakayuia.
 kensen - vrh

Primjena
Shinai se koristi kao glavno ili pomoćno sredstvo u mnogim japanskim borilačkim vještinama i sportovima, kao što su kendo, kenjutsu, aikido i ninjutsu.

Masa i dimenzije
Shinai može biti različite mase i duljine, ovisno o uzrastu, građi, čak i sklonosti mačevaoca.
Za potrebe natjecanja Japanska kendo federacija donijela je sljedeća pravila, koja se odnose na masu i duljinu * shinai-a, ovisno o uzrastu i spolu natjecatelja.

Unfortunately, people who are against homosexuality are not allowed to express our opinions like those who are for it.
Is he kidding perpetuating the "happy darky" myth? This guy may be a smart businessman, but he's willfully ignorant and clueless. You can read the entire interview at GQ HERE. Dude is a total blowhard.
The stars of Duck Dynasty have been a big topic of conversation in our daily chart posts, as fans have watched the Battle of the Holiday albums between the Robertson family and our girl, Kelly Clarkson. Of course we're all rooting for Kelly! Because she's awesome. But if you need another reason to root for Original Flavah Idol, (as if you would) here's a good one. And if you're like me, here's one more reason to NOT begin watching this popular show.
Well. That's pretty ignorant! Son Jep, wasn't as straighforward, but you get the feeling he agrees when he said, "We're not quite as outspoken as my dad, but I'm definitely in line. If somebody asks, I tell 'em what the Bible says." ARGH.
Aw. Remember Wilson as the gay best friend on My So Called Life? In any case, I co-sign what he says.
Your typical "hate the sin love the sinner" excuse. Bottom line, how can you love someone while condemning who they are, essentially, to their very core? He believes homosexuality is a "behavior," I'm sure. But that belief is part and parcel of his ignorance.
At any rate, everyone involved with the controversy will keep their heads down until things blow over. The Robertsons won't suffer the same fate as Paula Deen. Their show is too popular and making too much money for the network to cancel. Paula was an already fading commodity for the Food network. Her legal problems and perceived racism were an excuse to get rid of her. Ditto Alex Baldwin when MSNBC decided to cancel his low-rated show after he hurled homophobic slurs at a paparazzi.
I also expect the controversy won't hurt the ratings one bit. There are plenty of people who at least sympathise with papa Robertson's views on some level. I imagine they are watching the show. Folks like me, are not.
