Kevin Kajitani is passionate about improving the world through innovative business models. Together with his colleague, Akira Fukabori, Kevin has played a central role in the launch of multiple initiatives within ANA. Kevin is also a prize developer behind the ANA AVATAR XPRIZE concept which won top honors at the XPRIZE Visioneers 2016 Summit. Kevin is currently in charge of rapidly prototyping new business and service concepts that he hopes will impact all 7.5 billion people on earth. This is a thought provoking article that shows how technology is shaping, and changing the sharing and platform economy, and what it may look like in the not so near future. So, how can Avatars open doors to limitless sharing of knowledge, wealth, and resources? Scroll down to read all about it.
"Our ability to share our unique traits with the world is currently throttled by existing limitations of physical access. And the inability of simply getting the right people to the right place at the right time is arguably the single largest factor preventing us from limitlessly sharing our knowledge, wealth, and resources democratically with one another."
Each and every one of us possesses a unique quality that we can share with the world, whether it be a skill or craft, a passion or perspective, a natural ability or acquired strength. I believe it is this diversity that fuels advancement in our world. Our individual contributions to society lead to chain reactions in the larger ecosystem we inhabit, with collisions of our intellect sparking innovative collaborations, curiosity, technology, discovery and the collective evolution of our species. Yet, our ability to share our unique traits with the world is currently throttled by existing limitations of physical access. And the inability of simply getting the right people to the right place at the right time is arguably the single largest factor preventing us from limitlessly sharing our knowledge, wealth, and resources democratically with one another.
As an airline, ANA's contribution to society throughout our history has been providing a means of physical access by transporting passengers around the world. For over 100 years, the core infrastructure of the airline industry has served as the catalyst for globalization by facilitating shared experiences, global relationships, international business, diplomacy, and mutual understanding. As such, the topic of connecting people across long distances and facilitating knowledge sharing, collaboration, and serendipitous encounters is one that is close to our hearts.
But the reality is that although airlines are the sole providers of long distance physical access, we are still unable to democratically provide this service to the world. Today, our industry transports less than 10% of the world population each year. This realization led me and a colleague at ANA, Akira Fukabori, to question our true mission as a company, to reimagine what is possible, and to pioneer the world's newest form of physical transportation—avatars.
What we define to be an avatar is a remotely operated system (like a robot) that allows its operator to see, hear, feel, and interact with a remote environment as if the operator were physically there. It is essentially the teleportation of consciousness. What is important to note is that this is not a technology that simply represents you in a virtual world but is a physical extension of yourself in the real-world.
Imagine what will be possible with this new capability to teleport yourself to anywhere in the world effortlessly. This is the future that avatars will enable. And as far-fetched as it may sound, this future is approaching quickly. The technologies needed to create real-world avatars are available today and what will propel this innovation forward is the massive, positive impact it will have on the world.
"This will enable doctors to login to perform remote diagnosis and treatment, teachers to share their knowledge with those who want to learn, and for children to explore new parts of the world-all with a single avatar unit. "
In the near future, general purpose avatars will be available to the world. This will enable doctors to login to perform remote diagnosis and treatment, teachers to share their knowledge with those who want to learn, and for children to explore new parts of the world—all with a single avatar unit. One general purpose avatar placed in a remote area of the world will instantaneously provide that region with access to all of humanity's resources—every doctor, teacher, artist, engineer, and scholar in the world. This is a quantum leap from video conferencing as this technology will allow us to impact, manipulate, explore, and interact with remote environments. And as avatars become a common infrastructure in every community, it will empower individuals to share their tangible knowledge, skills, and resources with the rest of the global community, one hour at a time. Avatars will play a key role in reducing socio-economic gaps that exist in our world and help to unleash humanity's full potential for the very first time. As such, I believe avatars will become the world's ultimate sharing economy platform.
What is more thought provoking is that development of avatar technology is already underway. The proof of concept for avatars already exist in many forms and multiple simple telepresence robots are available for purchase today, allowing people to communicate and explore environments from hundreds of miles away. And when you stop to consider the components that are necessary to advance this technology, you realize that all of the core parts—from the robotic and sensing components to the haptic feedback systems—are advancing exponentially. After recognizing the need for avatars and confirming that the technological landscape is ready to create such systems, it was a natural progression for us to commit to pioneering this new capability.
Recently, we launched our $10 million ANA AVATAR XPRIZE to incentivize teams from around the world to integrate exponential component technologies to accelerate the development of the world's first general purpose avatar. We are also developing the world's first avatar platform application—like the uber or airbnb of avatars—and aim to release basic avatar services to the world within the next 12 months.
"What is more thought provoking is that development of avatar technology is already underway. The proof of concept for avatars already exist in many forms and multiple simple telepresence robots are available for purchase today, allowing people to communicate and explore environments from hundreds of miles away. "
After many months of researching, testing, and developing avatars, I am convinced that even the simplest avatar services will have large, lasting impacts on our global economy, society, and lifestyles. It will open up brand new markets for tourism, education, healthcare, consumer consumption, agriculture, space exploration, re-mobility, skill sharing, and more. And because this emerging avatar industry will be built upon the sharing economy model out-of-the-box, its ability to scale and impact the world will be immeasurable. In a nutshell, avatars will allow cities and towns in every part of the world to share their resources—whether it be skilled labor, a medical professional, a rare art collection, or a vacant office—effortlessly with one another.
In nearly all cases, new technology tends to bring us further away from one another—replacing human interactions with virtual experiences and human effort with autonomous systems and artificial intelligence. But avatars will be different. They will be an extension of humanity that will bring us closer and compel us to meet one another in the flesh.

Q: Automatically add aliases to .bashrc I know there is probably no simple way to do this, but I thought I might put this out there. I have a directory that contains a subdirectory for each customer I deal with. I'd like to be able to type that customers directory name in, anywhere on the computer, and switch to that directory. In other words:
/dir/customers/
/dir/customers/customer1/
/dir/customers/customer2/
/dir/customers/customer3/

I'd like customer1, customer2, and customer3 to all be added to my ~/.bashrc file, and whenever I create a new customer, it would update to add that as well.
Any takers?

A: If you add this code in your ~/.bashrc:
for i in /dir/customers/*
do
   alias $(basename $i)="cd '$i'"
done

It will setup aliases for customer1, customer2, customer3 (all the sub directories of /dir/customers/) and every time you add a new customer (eg: customerN) it's alias customerN will be added automatically you log in.
eg: alias customer1 is cd /dir/customers/customer1 and alias customer2 is cd /dir/customers/customer2 so on...

A: An alternative worth mentioning: you can export CDPATH=/dir/customers
and then if you are anywhere and you type cd David_Johnson you would be taken to /dir/customers/David_Johnson if such a directory existed.
The benefit here is that you could have just Added David_Johnson and did not need to resource your .bashrc for this to work  (I know it's not an alias, but seems to offer a bit flexibility)

how to get started in new SCN ?
too low information to get started. I could not find my interested streams.
The Coffee Corner shows an update to this by Moshe but yet I don't see it here???
Ok.. now I see in my notifications that Scott Raines made a comment on this thread.
But yet when I follow the link from my notifications... nothing is there!
This is very werid. We also need to get some real border definition around pasted in screen shots. Almost impossible to tell where the text of this thread is and the screnn prints start/end!
Sorry. I made a post and then immediately deleted it to see if it left the update, updated, as in Moshe's. It didn't. But it did leave it in your notifications! Probably a rare issue. I doubt many people ever delete and entire post, right?
For non-moderators delete/recreate is the only way now to edit comments and fix spelling mistakes.
Not sure if there is some grace period but previously on SCN I used to receive email notifications for the posts that were later deleted. But yes, it's rather unusual to delete the whole post.

Success Story: Christopher
By goodwillsp
For many jobseekers with roadblocks in their past, finding steady, full-time employment isn't easy. Despite his outstanding work ethic, drive to prove himself, and desire for full-time employment, Christopher was only able to secure temporary seasonal work for several years.
"I wanted full-time work, but it was incredibly difficult for me to find," Christopher said. "I was ready to work and needed a second chance."
At the beginning of 2016, Christopher came to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont as a referral from Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services' Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Employment & Training (SNAP E&T). A law was passed on January 1, 2016, stating that in order to receive SNAP benefits, a person must complete 80 hours of work-related education and training activities each month. Because of this new law, Goodwill formed a partnership with the Department of Social Services in which they refer people to Goodwill who need to fulfill their work-related requirement in order to qualify for SNAP benefits. As such, Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont became one of the first third-party SNAP E&T partners in Mecklenburg County, as well as in the state of North Carolina.
Christopher arrived at Goodwill and was assigned to a Career Development Specialist dedicated not only to helping him fulfill his work requirement, but to also unveil and reach his long-term goals. This specialist learned about Christopher's needs, skills and interests and together, the two of them created an individualized action plan designed to guide Christopher along his path to success.
First, Christopher completed Goodwill's resume writing workshop, interview skills workshop, and brushed up on his job search and computer skills in Goodwill's computer basics workshop. The knowledge and skills that Christopher gained through these training courses laid a solid foundation for the next step on his journey towards success.
Christopher was then accepted into Goodwill's transitional employment program, where he worked at Goodwill's University retail store for 90 days. Here, Christopher learned about retail operations, polished his employability skills, and was given the opportunity to prove himself as a valuable asset to the store.
After successfully completing the transitional employment program, Christopher was hired part-time at the same store. Then, after excelling in his part-time position for a few months, Christopher was hired full-time as a donation processor, a position he still proudly holds today.
"My dad and I used to shop at this very store that I work in now. When we would shop here, my dad would say to me 'You should work here!'" Christopher said. "My dad passed on a few years ago, but I think he would be happy and proud to see me not only working, but working here."
Christopher is already excelling in his new position and recently received the organization's Employee of the Quarter award. Most importantly, full-time employment has given Christopher a new purpose and outlook on life.
"Unemployment hurts your self-image," Christopher said. "Being employed feels great. It has improved my home life and my own self-esteem, and it makes me feel like I'm a part of the community."
Because of his new career and steady stream of income, Christopher no longer receives SNAP benefits, and things that once seemed out of reach now seem possible. Christopher has set a new list of long-term goals, which includes working his way up the career ladder at his store. For the first time in a while, he is looking forward to the future and the possibilities that lie ahead of him.
"Goodwill has made a very positive impact on my life," Christopher said. "The power of work has literally changed my life."

Many experts, such as Mark Tibergien, Forbes, FP Transitions' Grau, have written about the difference between a practice and a business. Here are our list of differences from an operations point of view.
Practice is the repeated exercise in or performance of an activity or skill so as to acquire or maintain proficiency in it. VS. Business is making one's living by engaging in commerce.
A business has systems. A practice does not.
A business treats staff and outside providers as one cohesive team. A practice does not.
A business works to automate and eliminate work. A practice does not and may even enjoy the busy work.
A business continuously improves the client experience to attract more clients with less effort. A practice does not.
A business actively monitors sales, gross revenue, and net profits. A practice does not.
A business owner can take a vacation and the business continues with no slow down. A practice's owner can not take a vacation without slowing down business activity.
A business has a higher valuation. A practice has a lower valuation and might not have a value at all.
A business calibrates the staff as the business evolves. A practice does not.
A business continually invests in systems and people. A practice does not.
This list comes from our years of experience working with many professional services firms. We have seen the inner workings of firms that look grand and yet, are floundering due to lack of clarity.
Don't flounder. Don't scorn those that give you a reality check. Instead, answer this one question with conviction and enjoy the success that clarity brings.
What do you want – a business or practice?


Our conscience tells us which way to go, it points us in the right direction, just as the needle of a compass does. Why would we purposely go astray with something so reliable helping us? This is something we can count on.


In founding this support organization, we recognized the paradox that exists for most writers: writing, by its nature, is a solitary pursuit, and yet we must function in the real world, where we can polish our craft and learn from others.
Within weeks of our founding in 1995, we heard from more than 500 writers in our region alone who were willing to admit they could use a little help. And so the fun began. Our willingness to invite ideas for workshops, encourage pilot programs, work on behalf of literacy and partner with other community groups has resulted in our becoming a unique and vibrant organization.
Throughout this site, you will find information on the many groups, programs and events we are proud to be part of. In addition to our workshops, we offer regular monthly breakfast meetings for networking and speakers, small writers' circles, contests and judging, a bi-monthly newsletter for members and subscribers, and of course, this information-packed website.
And best of all, we welcome anyone! You need not reside in Durham Region to belong to WCDR.

The US Senate has approved a $ 40 billion aid package to Ukraine
The famous Ukrainian doctor recorded his time in Mariupol on a map with data no larger than miniatures, taken out into the world in a tampon. Now it is in Russian hands, and Mariupol itself is on the verge of collapse.
Julia Paevskaya, who worked as a medic near Taira, used a body camera to record 256 gigabytes of material about her team's frantic efforts to bring people back to the brink of death in two weeks. She passed the scary videos to the Associated Press, the latest international journalist in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, when they were leaving in a rare humanitarian convoy.
The next day, March 16, Russian soldiers captured Taira and her driver, making it one of many enforced disappearances in areas of Ukraine that are now under Russian rule. Russia has portrayed Tyra as working for the Azov nationalist battalion, in line with Moscow's narrative that it is trying to "denazify" Ukraine. But AP found no such evidence, and friends and colleagues said she had no ties to Azov.
The military hospital where she evacuated the wounded has nothing to do with Azov. And in the video she recorded, it is clear that Tyra, together with civilians in Ukraine, is trying to save wounded Russian soldiers.
Yulia Paevskaya, known as Tyra, is watching the staff of the Ministry of Emergencies try to save a person's life on March 2, 2022 in Mariupol, Ukraine.
The video of March 10 shows a Ukrainian soldier pulling two Russian soldiers out of an ambulance. One in a wheelchair. The second is on his knees, arms tied behind his back, with an obvious leg injury.
A Ukrainian soldier swears at one of them. "Calm down, calm down," Tyra tells him.
The woman asks her: "Will you treat the Russians?"
"They will not be so kind to us," she says. "But I couldn't have it any other way. They are prisoners of war. "
The 53-year-old Tyra is now a prisoner of Russians, as are hundreds of local officials, journalists and other prominent Ukrainians who have been abducted or taken prisoner. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine recorded 204 cases of enforced disappearances, saying some victims may have been tortured and five were later found dead.
In Mariupol, Ukraine, March 11, 2022, an explosion of an apartment building after the shelling of a Russian army tank.
The Russians have targeted medics and hospitals, despite the fact that the Geneva Conventions provide for military and civilian medics to protect "under all circumstances." The Russian military accused a woman in a convoy from Mariupol on May 8 of being a military doctor and forced her to choose between releasing her 4-year-old daughter and her fate or continuing to move to Ukrainian-controlled territory. The mother and child eventually separated.
The situation in Taira and the fact that it shows Russia's treatment of Ukrainian prisoners is gaining new significance as the last defenders of Mariupol are taken to Russian-occupied areas. Russia says more than 1,700 Ukrainian fighters hiding at a steel plant surrendered this week, while Ukrainian officials said the fighters left after completing their mission.
The Ukrainian government says it tried to add Tyra's name to the prisoner exchange a few weeks ago. But Russia denies holding her, despite appearing on television in Ukraine's separatist Donetsk region and on Russian NTV, handcuffed and bruised.
Julia Paevska, known as Tyra, assists as a serviceman, was taken on a stretcher on February 24, 2022 to Mariupol. Using a body camera, she recorded her team's frantic efforts to bring people back from the brink of death. (Yulia Paevskaya via AP)
Tyra is known in Ukraine as a star athlete, as well as a person who trained the country's volunteer medical teams. The video, which she recorded from February 6 to March 10, provides intimate footage of the city under siege, which has since become a global symbol of the Russian invasion and Ukrainian resistance.
On February 24, the first day of the war, Tyra described attempts to bandage an open wound to the head of a Ukrainian soldier.
Two days later, she ordered her colleagues to wrap a wounded Russian soldier in a blanket. She calls the young man "Sun" – a favorite nickname of many soldiers who passed through her hands – and asks why he came to Ukraine.
"You take care of me," he tells her, almost surprised. Her response: "We treat everyone equally."
Later that night, two children – a brother and a sister – arrived seriously injured in a shootout at a checkpoint. Their parents died. By the end of the night, despite Tyree's requests, "stay with me, baby" and the little boy.
Tyra turns away from her lifeless body and cries. "I hate [this]"She says.
Ambulance workers are working on the victim together with Julia Paevskaya, known as Tyra, in Mariupol, Ukraine, March 6, 2022.
Throughout the video, she complains of chronic pain from back and hip injuries. She's kidding. And she always wears a stuffed animal attached to her vest to pass on to children she can treat.
On March 15, a police officer handed a small card with information to a group of journalists from the Associated Press. Tyra asked the journalists to take the card out of Mariupol safely. The card was hidden inside a tampon as journalists passed through 15 Russian checkpoints.
The next day Tyra disappeared together with the driver Sergei.
A video shown on Russian news on March 21 announced her capture. In it, she looks amortized and exhausted when she reads a statement calling for an end to the fighting. As she speaks, a voice-over mocks her colleagues as Nazis.
With her husband and teenage daughter, Tyra knew what war could do to her family. At one point a wounded Ukrainian serviceman asked her to call his mother, and she told him he would be able to call himself, "so don't upset her."
Tyra's husband, Vadim Puzanov, said he had not received any news since his wife's disappearance.
"Accusing a volunteer of all mortal sins, including organ trafficking, is outrageous propaganda – I don't even know who it is for," he said.
Tyra participated in the Invictus Games for Ukraine. Last year, she received a body camera to film the Netflix documentary series about inspirational figures created by British Prince Harry, who founded Invictus Games.
Instead, she filmed footage of the war. In the latest video that Tyra shot, she is sitting next to a driver who will disappear with her. It's March 9th.
"Two weeks of war. Mariupol is under siege, "she says quietly. Then she does not swear at anyone, and the screen darkens.

The fuel surcharge has been reviewed in line with the current arrangement with the Department of Transport.
With effect from 1st March 2009, the surcharge on freight will be reduced by 37% from £8 per metre to £5 per metre. The passenger rate will remain at £5.
The fuel surcharge is calculated in strict accordance with the terms of the agreement with the Department of Transport and is based on the weighted average marine fuel cost incurred over the six months prior to the review date.
The surcharge being applied from 1st March is based on marine fuel prices between August 2008 and January 2009. It therefore includes periods of high consumption such as August, September and October 2008 when fast craft were in operation and the price of marine fuel was still at record levels.
Under the agreement, the fuel surcharge is referenced to a sliding scale of marine fuel prices. Freight and passenger rates are subject to different sliding scales.
The reduction in the price of fuel over the last six months has been sufficient to trigger a reduction in the surcharge applied to freight, which increased by more than the passenger rate in the last fuel surcharge review in September 2008.
For further information on how the fuel surcharge is currently calculated and applied please visit the Company's website at steam-packet.com.
The Company has discussed with the Department of Transport and has advised the Office of Fair Trading that, with effect from 1st March, the fuel surcharge will be included in the price displayed on the website. This means that there will be consistency between the website and the brochure prices. The fuel surcharge will continue to be monitored by the Department of Transport.


On both sides of the Atlantic, music has played a significant role in the lives of individuals, in the literature of the time, and in the politics of the day. From hymns to pop songs, from background noise to sound installations, music, once called the highest of the arts, permeates our experience. In that spirit, we are inviting contributions to Glossen #44 that focus on this phenomenon from a transatlantic perspective, reflecting cultural events and developments in America and German-speaking countries since 1945. As always, additional contributions on themes and topics within that frame of time and space are welcome. Please send submissions in German or English to Frederick A. Lubich (flubich@odu.edu) or Sarah McGaughey (mcgaughs@dickinson.edu).

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Even though I'm half Irish, I have no plans to celebrate. But at least my photo today has some green in it. That's something, right?
I have a couple of thrifty finds to share, including this "Strawberry Patch" fabric. I found it at the thrift shop and thought it would be perfect for little sewing projects with the kids.
My other thrifty find is the tea press/French press. My husband had just been served tea in a similar one at The Minga when my mom spotted this little guy for $3 at the thrift shop. Not a vintage find - it's brand new - but I'm glad to have it for my loose leaf teas.
The tea cup was a gift. I believe it's from Homesense.
How about you? Any great finds recently?
So I have a French press coffee pot that looks exactly like your tea press. It has honestly never once, ever, occurred to me to use it for tea. Duh! Can't wait to get home and try it now!
Yes, I agree, looks just like our french press. Such a pretty tea cup!!
Cute photo, the vintage strawberry fabric is adorable.
that fabric is lovely. And I've never thought of using a pot like that for a tea!
You always find the best stuff!!
Love the fabric, show us what you end up making.
Sadly, I am trying so so so SO hard to declutter and save money right now. I'm living vicariously through you!
French Press!! we ONLY use a press to make coffee around we have 2 or 3 of them at this point--good idea for tea. Glad you came by!
Fun finds. that fabric is adorable! Thank you for sharing at TTF!
Great finds. Tea and thrifty are on my mind right now as a friend is throwing a tea party fundraiser for charity and I'm helping out with the decorations so last week I hit up a local thrift shop and just by sheer luck they were having a 1/2 price sale on all household items. I got two very nice tea pots that I'm going to use as flower vases plus a couple of large heavy silver trays for displaying treats. It's amazing what you can find.
I love the tea press you found. I've got so many loose leaf teas and that would be a great way to prepare it.


I knew this was going to be a special project from the beginning, when the clients told me they were looking for a designer that could design a modern home, not the typical "mountainesque" homes that we see in this area. They love the modern lofts featured in the design magazines, with industrial materials, but in warm colors. They also wanted a home that would face the view, but be invisible from the street. This home would be a vacation home, but might become their permanent home when they retire.
Of course the first step is to visit the property. What a property! This is the best view I have ever seen. Their lot borders the national forest, and that is all they can see, an entire range of mountains including the tallest in Georgia, Brasstown Bald. The only manmade structure thay can see is the tower on Brasstown Bald. But there is something else I love about this property, the view is due south! By facing the majority of the glass to the view, they would have a passive solar home (taking advantage of the sun's heat in the winter).
This project was an ideal candidate for an idea I have been trying to encourage for homes on steep properties. I like to design the home to be long and narrow, and push the back into the dirt, almost up to the roof. This greatly reduces excavation costs, and preserves much more of the trees. It also increases the view from each room in the house, and makes the house more accessible to the outside. And if the property faces south like this one, it makes the home extremely energy efficient. The north wall is protected by the earth, almost two stories high. Cold north winds do not hit the house. Instead the warm winter sun shines on the glass on the south side. By making the house long and narrow, all the rooms face the view, and receive warm winter sunshine. There was one other reason this would work for my clients: Their home would be invisible from the street. I hoped they would accept this unusual idea. They loved it!
The two story concrete wall required engineering. The builder did an excellent job with this wall. I often spoke with the workers during construction and they told me that lots of people were talking about this unique house. Would it be as energy efficient as we hoped? Before the heating system was installed, the workers told me that on cold winter mornings it was too warm inside for a long sleeve shirt. After the clients moved in, they said that sometimes the winter sun makes the house so warm, they need to open the windows to let some of the heat out. Imagine, fresh air in the winter! The buried wall on the north side also helps reduce the costs of heating and cooling. Below the ground, the temperature in our area is 55 degrees all year. Having a large portion of the wall against this ground keeps the house warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer. Having most of the glass face south keeps the house warmer in the winter. Locating the porches on the south side makes them more comfortable in the winter too. All of this does more than just save energy costs. It makes this home much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Notice how this home is hidden from the street view. All you can see is the garage until you drive up.
The south side has most of the glass to absorb winter sun. The roof overhangs are designed to shade most of the glass in the summer.
The master suite has a beautiful view of the mountains. So does the living room. In the dining and kitchen, cabinetry covers the wall that is against the earth.
The clients love this home. It is also one of my favorites. The local community television show filmed an interview with me in this home. I hope this program encourages more people to build homes this way.

The Scottish Arts Council is proud to present this short story by Merryn Glover - Read more about her and the inspiration behind this story.
One cannot argue that the life of a mother is one of tribulation. Indeed, one would be unwise to argue the point with Sharmila, one of those mothers singled out for especial hardship. She does not like to complain, but what with the demands of housework, the caprices of health and the disregard of offspring, one simply cannot suffer in silence.
Far better to shout down the phone. "Rajesh? Rajesh, babu? It is Mummy here. Look, I am not well - you must come at once." Gripped by the conviction of her prominence in the Hall of Ill Fate, she was in no mood for dallying.
And with that he hung up.
"Aaaiii! What is the use of bringing up sons these days?!" Sharmila banged down the phone. It had been far better when Rajesh lived at home and was available to the family for immediate consultation in the evenings, on Saturdays and - most importantly - first thing in the morning just as he was heading out for work. Sometimes there is a mysterious pain in the stomach that must be examined and explained before one partakes of breakfast or there could be serious consequences. He persistently failed to subscribe to this view, however, and became so excessively pressed upon matters of punctuality that he actually moved into hospital quarters! Chha! Even eating in the canteen!
"That, I think, would be almost impossible," Suman murmured, folding his newspaper and rising to his feet.
"I'm sure you will think of some small entertainment. I'm going now." Suman straightened his back and walked down the neat brick path to the gate.
"Phone Rajesh from the office and tell him to come at once!" Sharmila called after him, catching a glimpse of a silver car before her husband clanged the gate shut behind him. She swept back up the stairs, muttering, and then remembered - upon seeing her daughter on the top landing - the acute pain in her lower back. She clutched it with one hand, groping for the banister with the other.
"Mummy, Lila is sending her Daddy's car for me. She has just got Nazar on DVD and we are going to watch it at her's. Please Mummy." Nilam fluttered her lashes and pouted her plump mouth.
Just then, Sharmila heard the front gate clatter, a car rev and the squeal of tyres off down the road.
She leapt to the window.
"Hey, Baghwan! That hussy!" she shrieked. "What is the point of raising daughters these days?" She felt a sudden urge to cry, but resisted it, sniffing hard and firmly tucking her sari in at her waist.
"Right! Nothing for it," she said. "I will get Bijesh to ring his brother." And with that she thumped down the stairs and into her younger son's apartment. She never knocked. There was mousy Mina - wiping things as usual.
"Where is Bijesh?" Sharmila cut to the chase.
"Gone to work! But this is Holi? Has the whole world gone mad? In my day no decent people left their front door on Holi. He will catch his death of red dye! But he never listens to me." Sharmila spread her girth across a dining chair.
"I mean, yes Mummy, we all listen." Mina's thin hands were twisting the dishcloth into a tight wad.
As soon as Mina was out the door, Sharmila helped herself to a large bowl of cornflakes, with a generous coating of sugar. Only half-way through, however, the girl had the temerity to return.
"How are you back so soon?" asked Sharmila, eyes narrowed. No one could be trusted, but particularly not daughters-in-law.
"One can hardly eat well on cornflakes, but needs must - though I am sure they will disagree with my stomach." Despite her delicate condition, Sharmila managed two bowls and might have attempted another had the errand boy not appeared.
"How many trials in one day?!" Sharmila cried, throwing up her hands. However, when life is at stake, one must take risks. She squeezed into the back of the motor rikshaw.
She pulled her sari around her face and waved away the expectant palm of the errand boy that was sticking through the window. What a mercenary world we live in when a strapping youth no longer offers help to an invalid without expecting payment! With a roar and a cloud of smoke, she set off in her tempo like a chariot down the dirt track.
The staff nodded and grinned. It was generally considered the highlight of the year, with more blood and human tragedy than the best of Bollywood.
This was sounding better than ever.
Much head waggling and tongue clicking. Mission accepted.
Meanwhile, back in the tempo, Sharmila was upbraiding the driver. "Be careful, you fool! Slow down!" she shouted, forced to drop the sari from her mouth lest the full impact of her words be lost.
He shrugged and slowed a touch as they crossed the swarming traffic on the Ring Road and buzzed into town. The scenes that met Sharmila's eyes were a disgrace! Wild young men were running through the streets pelting one another with water balloons and fistfuls of coloured powder. Their hair stuck out in stiff clumps like stray dogs, and their faces and clothes were smeared with red, orange and yellow. Worse still - they were laughing! As if this display of lewdness were not a shame and a smite upon the whole city.
However, as they turned into the main road near Jawalakhel Roundabout, all hell was let loose upon them. The holi boys were running mad! The driver swerved to avoid a mob of youths, but one hurled a water balloon full in his face. Blinded, he lost grip on the steering and the tempo jerked crazily, crashing over into a ditch. Sharmila was spat out the side, landing like a sack of pumpkins on the pavement. No sooner had she hit the ground, though, than she was caught in the crossfire between a bucket of water and several fistfuls of red powder.
Drenched and disarrayed, she vented a torrent of abuse over the young scoundrels. "Filthy vermin! May the wrath of Kali curdle the very wombs of your mothers! Do you know that my uncle is a Chief Minister? He will have you all thrown into prison, you scum of the gutter!" (The Minister was actually the uncle of her good friend's cousin's neighbour, but a connection nevertheless.) Certainly, the effect on the youths was impressive: they dropped their buckets and ran.
"Really?" Sharmila's hand flew to her forehead. Her mouth dropped open and her eyes grew wide. Overcome she fell back into the arms of the photocopy lady, grasping her ravaged head. Such an extraordinary stroke of fate!
Though never the type to draw attention to herself, Sharmila was not surprised - nor entirely put out - to see that the scene had attracted a large circle of onlookers. Not to disappoint them, she allowed her arm to drop from her face affording full view of her brow. There was a satisfying gasp.
The toilet seller stopped a mini-van and hauled all the disgruntled passengers out of the back. Some of them had the audacity to complain, even though there was - right at their feet - a woman so clearly clutching at the very last straws of life. Such a pitiless nation! The quilt man spread one of his thickest shiraks on the floor of the van and then there followed a great deal of shouting and pushing and giving of instructions. So much so that Sharmila was forced to rise from her incumbent state more than once to direct the operation. Against her better judgement, she allowed a handful of the bumbling fools in the van beside her in order to provide carriage at the other end.
"Off my sari!" she shouted at one unfortunate with red powdered face and bristle hair. He huddled down into a corner, mortified to have had added insult to her injuries. However, lest she seem in possession of too much vigour, she lapsed into a soft moaning. Very quiet, but the effect was striking. The photocopy lady sucked in her breath and tried to wipe the blood from Sharmila's face, but was fended off with a strong arm.
"Don't touch me!" Sharmila ordered. All the gore was to be saved for Rajesh. The van swerved at high speed to Top Health Hospital. At every jolt and jerk she let escape a small cry. The people huddled in the van shook their heads and clicked their tongues, eyes fixed on her in fascination. Holi had never before been this exciting.
The van screeched to a halt at the entrance to the Emergency Department. The place was heaving. Buses and taxis were abandoned at jagged angles across the forecourt, and people were running and screaming. Sharmila's helpers piled out of the van and gaped. Stretchers with bloodied bodies jogged past, while knots of wailing teenagers huddled around unconscious friends. "I AM BURNING, I AM BURNING!" one man howled as he fell from the back of a tempo and rolled on the ground.
Sharmila sat bolt upright in the back of her van and looked out on the scene of devastation. She could never have imagined that Holi could get so bad! Poor Rajesh! What on earth was she to do now? Her helpers turned to her, their faces white and panicked. Sharmila's stomach turned to water.
"Just lie me in a quiet corner," she whispered. "I'm sure they will tend to me… when things settle down." She wafted her hand towards the vision of hell beyond, then lay meekly back on her quilt. The assistants did not shove and argue this time as they carried her from the van, but moved swiftly, despite shaking hands and wobbling knees. They laid her in the shade of a pipal tree and with apologetic bows, slipped away to watch the carnage from a better vantage point. Sharmila lay trembling, her face a mottled grey. Only the photocopy lady stayed at her side, gripping her hand and sucking in breath at each new wave of blackened bodies.
Sharmila, for the first time in her life, was speechless. The photocopy lady looked down at her pallid face.
"I'm going to find your son," she said, getting up.
"Then I will get someone," the lady replied. "You are not looking well at all and can't be left here on the ground." She moved off through the seething mob, stepping around stretchers and picking her way past weeping figures. Sharmila lay frozen, staring fixedly at the leaves above as her ears rang with the horrors around. With a trembling hand she pulled her sari down over her head and squeezed her eyes shut.
"Right, this one here – where do we take her?" a rough voice spoke above. Sharmila's eyes snapped open. Two sweating porters were leaning over her, peering into her face.
"Looks like black to me," the older one said. They both nodded.
Sharmila opened her mouth to speak, but just then a girl, drenched in blood, hobbled past. She shut her mouth.
Taking hold of the corners of the quilt the men heaved her off the ground.
Sharmila lay stiff in her quilt, white knuckles clutching the sides, eyes bolted wide, as the porters humphed her round to the back of the hospital. They parked her on the ground beside a row of bodies and walked off, rubbing their backs. Directly in front of her was a door emblazoned with the word MORTUARY. Sharmila's stomach turned to stone.
A cheerful doctor in floral sari and white coat squatted beside her. "And what are you?" she asked, tapping a syringe with a long vicious needle.
Sharmila stared at her, her lips cracking open, but words stuck in her throat and she could only sputter and shake her head. Sudden tears blurred her eyes and one spilled across her cheek.
Born in Kathmandu to missionary parents, Merryn spent her childhood in Nepal, India and Pakistan. After a teaching degree in English, drama and dance in Australia she moved to Scotland in 1993 and worked freelance as a community artist and teacher. In 1995, she and her husband returned to Nepal for four years where Merryn taught at an international school.
In and around her other work (which now includes two young sons) Merryn has squeezed in as much time as possible for writing. Her first major work was the play 'The Long Way Home' which was broadcast on Radio Scotland the following year. She has published several articles and in 2004 was awarded a Scottish Arts Council New Writer's Bursary for a series of short stories set in Nepal. One story was shortlisted for the Middlesex University Press Literary Prize and will be published in their Watermark collection in December. 'Death's Door' is another from the series.

Q: FactoryGirl::create throwing NoMethodError: undefined method `stringify_keys' I have the follwing in my factories.rb:
factory :ffsupervisor, class: Supervisor do
 first_name    "ffsupervisor"
 email         "ffsupervisor@abc.com"
 password      "123456"
 type          "Supervisor"
 association :agency, name: "FFAgency", full_fee: "2.0", partial_fee: "1.0", agency_type: "Fulfilment"
end

I'm able to build and save an instance of Supervisor in my DB with FactoryGirl::create(:ffsupervisor) in the Rails Console. When I try to do the same thing in my feature specs, I end up getting:
NoMethodError: undefined method `stringify_keys'.
I've looked into a lot of questions in SO regarding this issue. Haven't been able to figure out what I'm missing out though. Any heads up on this would be great. TIA!
EDIT:
This is the stack trace I'm getting:
1) Workflow order_item lifecycle.
 Failure/Error: @supervisor= FactoryGirl::create(:ffsupervisor) # Creates both agency & supervisor.

"INSIDE EVERY PROGRESSIVE IS A TOTALITARIAN SCREAMING TO GET OUT" @HOROWITZ39, DAVID HOROWITZ by Jack Kerwick
During this Lenten season when Christians are preparing themselves for Easter Sunday, those of us who are living in relative peace and affluence should remember and pray for those brothers and sisters in the faith whose circumstances are not as friendly.
To put it more accurately, Christians the world over should be mindful that at this time in our history there remain legions of Christ's disciples who are made to endure persecution for their faith the likes of which rival that suffered by the earliest Christians.
While most of the worst environments for Christians are Islamic lands, there are non-Islamic bastions of intense Christian persecution that receive little to no coverage by the world's media. One particularly notable example is that of India.
Of a population of 1.3 billion people, there are 64 million Christians who reside in India. Open Doors, an organization "dedicated to serving persecuted Christians worldwide," relays the story of "Reena," a 19 year-old girl who experienced this anti-Christian persecution directly.
"When I was a young child," she says, "Hindu children did not want to play with me." Eventually, "my parents were banned from using the local water supply. They had to walk many kilometers to draw water from the river."
Things got even worse for this young woman.
When Reena went to work as a school teacher, she was initially promised a salary of 1,500 rupees ($23.13) a month. Her employers wound up welching: They paid her only 500 rupees ($7.71) for the first two months. Within six months, they stopped paying her entirely. So Reena sought work elsewhere.
Her new headmaster invited Reena to a teachers' meeting. There he offered her and her colleagues an assortment of Indian pastries.
And it was at this time that Reena was drugged and kidnapped.
Reena doesn't want to discuss the events that unfolded over the ten days of her captivity. She claims to have no recollection, but those in the know at Open Doors insist that it is more "likely…that what happened to her was so terrible [that] she doesn't want to share" her experiences. After all, literally "millions of girls in India"—many of them Christians and other religious minorities—"are kidnapped and trafficked each year."
Reena called her parents at one point and informed them that she was being retained in "a terrible place." She also admits that when she first awoke, she was in a train car with many other teenage girls who followed her as she made her escape.
Yet Reena expresses suspicions that at least some of the girls were involved in her abduction.
Reena had been taken 14 hours away from her village.
Although she experienced depression and hopelessness for a time following her return to her home, upon attending an inspiring church service, Reena renewed her Christian faith. While her brother informs us that the headmaster in whose company Reena was drugged desires vengeance for the troubles that he now apparently endures, Reena sounds hopeful:
"My future is very bright. I will share the gospel with non-believers. I don't expect more problems."
But there are many problems for India's Christians.
Over the last three years, the anti-Christian persecution in India has continued to increase. Open Doors' World Watch List ranked India as the planet's 25th worst persecutor of Christians in 2015. Yet in 2017 it was found to be the 15th biggest persecutor and, this year, it climbed to 11th place.
An Open Doors spokesperson informs us that before Christians face overt physical violence—in 2016, 15 Christians were murdered in India and many more beaten and threatened—"there [is] often…a long process of 're-converting' them to Hinduism, during which they faced discrimination, social exclusion and other types of pressure."
A chief cause of the oppression, according to Open Doors, is the resurrection of Hindu nationalism. The Hindu nationalist holds that only Hinduism should be observed in India. Some political leaders have even gone so far as to call for the expulsion from India of all Christians and Muslims by 2021.
In any event, although "everyone" is aware that "the churches are being attacked and demolished on almost an everyday basis in India," as an Open Doors representative puts it, the Prime Minister of the country denies that any such persecution is occurring.
He should speak to people like Chandan Devi.
Chandan and her husband, Aadarsh, an Indian man who converted to Christianity and became a pastor who led a couple of dozen animists to Christ, have four children. The oldest, a daughter, is married, while the other three were away at boarding school when the unthinkable occurred.
Chandan and Aadarsh were home alone when they were attacked by thirty men, Maoist (communist) Naxalites all of them. As they grabbed him and proceeded to drag him outside, they were promising to murder Aadarsh. Chandan clung to her husband, begging the thugs to kill her along with her husband. Instead, though, they delivered to her a hard blow to the shoulder, dropping her to the ground.
The last thing Chandan recalls having heard is the loud sound of the door slamming shut as her husband was led off into the jungle to be killed.
Shortly afterwards, Aadarsh's corpse was found.
None of the Christians who Aadarsh had converted attended his funeral for fear of losing their lives, and Chandan, fearing future attacks, fled her home and village with nothing but "the clothes on her back," as Open Doors reports.
As if it wasn't terrible enough that the Naxalites murdered Aadarsh. They subsequently threatened his brother Ajay. In fact, prior to Aadarsh's murder, the Naxalites abducted Ajay's son.
Of course, none of this should come as any surprise when it is considered that over the last decade, this same treacherous group, "with the help of local authorities," has "attacked, beaten, kidnapped, raped and killed thousands of Christians in India" (italics added).
It's worth noting that when Chandan was asked by Open Doors whether the trauma to which she and her loved ones have been subjected has provoked her to reconsider her faith and denounce Christ, she promptly responded:
"I'd rather die."
Hindu-on-Christian persecution—not something that we hear, or are likely to hear, talked about by the Western media that has labored tirelessly to depict Christians as the planet's only purveyors of oppression
Explosive art in Beirut explores power of cultural identity THOU SHALT INNOVATE by Joseph Puder


Cyberbullying and shaming run rampant online, sometimes even in the weight loss, fitness, and body positive communities. But bullying and shaming in person are no less damaging and painful. It can often feel like there is no "right" way to look: overweight and even healthy weight individuals are fat shamed, and overweight people who try to lose weight are diet shamed.
So, how do you deal with people who shame you for your body type or efforts to get healthier?
Let's start with clarifying what shame and shaming are: shame is the feeling you get when you've done something wrong, while shaming is the act of making someone else feel bad. No matter what size you wear or how much you weigh, you have not done anything "wrong," so you have absolutely no reason to feel shame.
Fat Shaming is inherently cruel. It affects how overweight and obese people are treated by everyone from strangers to coworkers, supervisors, professional service providers, and even healthcare professionals. The stigma around fat and people who have extra fat only contribute to fat shaming. The absolutely false idea that overweight or obese people aren't trying hard enough is one of the worst sources of fat shaming. If someone tries to shame you for your weight, shut them down! You can simply walk away, or more boldly tell the person that their actions or comments are hurtful.
Diet Shaming is a type of Health or Fitness Shaming that targets people because they are committed to weight loss, weight maintenance or healthy eating, or physical fitness. Some diet shamers want you to fail in your weight loss efforts, but some are jealous of your commitment, your hard work, and your success. Others might simply be unaware that they are hurting you. Jealous shamers might make subtle comments like "I'd rather die than give up carbs," while the naysayers will more directly say, "You'll never lose the weight" or "Your other diets didn't work, what makes you think this will?" If you're still in the midst of your weight loss journey, these comments can be hurtful—especially if you're struggling to lose weight or stay committed.
To combat diet shaming, focus on why you want to lose weight and live healthier, recommit, and keep moving forward. You could share your motivations with the would-be shamer, or simply ignore them and focusing on yourself. One helpful trick is to post positive quotes, reminders of your specific motivators—like, "I want to travel more" or "I want to be more comfortable when I walk," around your desk or any place you frequently are. These daily reminders will not only empower you to move past potential shamers or feeling shamed, but also relight the fire you need to keep up your efforts.
If you've already succeeded in reaching your weight and health goals, you are more likely to encounter jealous Diet Shamers, or other types of Body and Food shaming. Food Shaming occurs when people—well-meaning or otherwise—criticize or question your nutrition, portion size, or the types of food you choose. When you encounter Diet, or Food Shamers, reflect on how much you've accomplished and remind yourself why you chose to follow through on your weight loss goals. While you can always offer to support a friend or family member in their weight loss efforts, they may not want or be ready to accept help, and that's okay.
No matter what type of shamer you encounter, your health, weight, and well-being are deeply personal. Whether you are working on losing weight, have worked hard to lose and maintain your weight, or are naturally slender, the key to dealing with any Body or Food shamer is to focus on your own body positivity and motivations. Walk away (or keep scrolling) from people who think they have a right to an opinion on your body or eating habits. You do not have to defend yourself to other people. You have decided to commit to your journey, end of story.


To a roomful of Catholics in Marin County whose frustration with the current presidential administration appeared strikingly shared and vocal, a Catholic ethicist offered the example of Pope Francis in effecting positive change amid deep divisions.
Cahill said that when longtime colleague and St. Rita pastor Father Ken Weare first invited her to the parish as one of this year's six guest speakers, she wasn't keen about talking about anger. "But I realized it's very apropos of the situation that we are in in our culture generally, and to a lesser degree, in the church," she said.
In her presentation, "Beyond Anger and Impasse: Pope Francis on Consulting, Discerning and Mobilizing for Positive Change," Cahill pointed to the pontiff's leadership style and process in his attempt to break the "gridlock" on controversial topics such as marriage, violence and climate change.
She began by noting the deep polarization in the U.S. since the 2016 election, the "cultural anxiety" it revealed in an apparent majority of the American voting public and the almost immediate rise in bias-related hate crimes including the murder of a protester at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last summer.
Republican voters have responded to a "mixture of resentment of political elites, personal economic stagnation if not loss of ground, and a tendency to blame other racial groups and immigrants for their adversity," she said.
Democrats and others, meanwhile, are aghast by the administration's actions or lack thereof on immigration, racism, climate change and gun violence, to name a few, she said.
Speaking to the politically cohesive audience, Cahill named another problem.
Cahill said Pope Francis' emphasis on consultation, discernment and mobilization symbolizes his approach to positive change.
She offered three models of how the pope has attempted, not always successfully, to "break gridlock" on hot button issues: The family synods of 2014 and 2015, the resulting 2016 apostolic exhortation, "Amoris laetitia," (The Joy of Love) and the 2016 encyclical "Laudato si'" (On Care for Our Common Home).
In preparation for the family synods, the pope asked bishops around the world to consult with Catholic laity by distributing a detailed, anonymous survey of their attitudes and practices in regard to the church's teachings on marriage and family.
"The family synods and Pope Francis teach us that it's important to convene and consult even when there may be conflict," Cahill said.
In the post-synodal "Amoris laetitia," Pope Francis demonstrated his belief that solutions must sometimes be sought through a process of discernment, she said.
Chapter 8 of the controversial document focuses on the pastoral care of of church members who have been divorced and civilly remarried. The pope encouraged a "responsible personal and pastoral discernment of particular cases" by local bishops, Cahill said.
"Pope Francis shows that sometimes what we should aim for is a negotiated settlement, not a one-side wins-all kind of victory," the theologian said.
"Change happens at the symbolic, practical and spiritual level, the level of our worldview and in our everyday practices," said Cahill. "This requires conversation and changes in our customary ways of doing things.
"Change requires that we reach across the aisles of party, religion, race, income bracket and even parish and to do that we must be humble, we must be unafraid of respectful disagreements and above all we must be creative," Cahill said.

Will Hamas get off on a technicality? The EU is removing Hamas from its list of terror organizations – temporarily, they say – due to an error in protocol.
European diplomats were briefed on Tuesday that the European Court of Human Rights is expected to remove the Hamas terror organization from its list of terror organizations, Israel's Channel 10 reported.
The list is legally binding and prohibits European Union (EU) members from maintaining ties with Hamas.
The Court explained that the decision hinges on a technicality, as the submission of Hamas' name to the list in 2003 was not done in accordance with protocol.
A diplomatic source in Brussels told Channel 10 that he was dismayed by the decision, which was received in the past few days without any prior briefing. Some diplomats learned only on Tuesday that such a problem existed.
The report stresses that this decision is not critical, as the EU cannot determine through its court that Hamas is not a terror organization. However, it is a serious clerical foul-up, and it is unclear when it will be rectified.
The EU reportedly clarified to Jerusalem that the procedure involved a mere technicality and that its stance regarding Hamas has not changed. Channel 10 has learned that Israeli diplomats have been working in the past months to minimize the damage.
The EU reportedly told Israel's Foreign Ministry that it will do all it can to reverse this regrettable decision as soon as possible, asking Israeli officials not to turn the issue into a major incident.
We urge our leaders to reject all supporters of Islamic Terror. Do NOT join forces with Iran, Hamas and other extremists to fight ISIS. Unite with Your Friends - Not with Your Enemies.
