The young officer replied, "It is not in keeping with my dignity to carry my suitcase. I am an educated person."
Vidyasagar asked him, "If you cannot carry your bag, shall I carry it for you." He carried the officer's suitcase and went behind the officer. On their way the young officer told the porter that he had come there to listen to the speech of a great man. When they reached the destination the young man then offered money to his 'porter'. Vidyasagar told him, "To serve you is my reward" and went away.
All the great men praised the virtue of humility. "Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues," taught Confucius. Benjamin Franklin was convinced that "Humility makes great men twice honourable." Jesus taught his disciples to be humble like children.
vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.
In ancient times, towns were surrounded by walls and had one or more gates to which one reached through a narrow wooden passage. The great palace of the Chinese emperors, popularly called, "The Forbidden City" is also characterized by narrow gates. When there was any sign of danger, the narrow gates were easy to close, and easy to be protected. Whoever crossed the narrow gates entered the Forbidden City and was in safety. At the time of Jesus, the Jewish towns too were fortified in this manner.
"I am coming to gather the nations of every language.
They will come to witness my glory.
Secondly, entry into that city can never be automatic. It is the result and reward of a struggle. "Keep on striving to enter," he said. It was inscribed on the tomb of an Alpine guide who had died on the mountainside, "He died climbing." For the Christian, life is ever an upward and an onward way.
Human nature is always to conquer the heights. There were hundreds of mountaineers that had sighed at the foot of the Mount Everest, then struggled to reach the peak. Thus Hillary and Tensing found themselves standing at the peak of Mount Everest. The struggle to reach the heights did not stop there. Humanity took the next step to the space, from there to the moon and to other planets. Now he dreams of reaching the heights of other galaxies. Likewise, there is no finality in Christian life. A man must ever be going forward.
Thirdly, the narrow door is symbolic of the hardships of life. It is symbolic of accepting poverty, being of a charitable heart, being patient and forgiving others. If we want to enter into the city of safety and protection, we cannot go with a bulky load on our back. The load of pride and self centeredness that we carry with us should be shed in order to easily enter through the narrow gate.
If we choose the wide gate of self indulgence and pleasures of the moment we will never be happy. The second reading today, from the Letter to Hebrews reminds us that we are God's children. The only way to achieve real happiness and fulfilment in life is to choose the narrow gate that leads to life. There are many men who made their life worth remembering. Gautama Buddha left the comforts of the palace and chose the way of hardships to find happiness. St Francis of Assisi abandoned his ambitions and took up the way of prayer and fasting to find fulfilment in life. Mother Theresa left the security of the convent life and went to the streets of Calcutta to find God in the suffering. They chose the narrow gate to enter into God's kingdom.
The standards of heaven are not the standards of earth. Earth's first will often be last, and its last will often be first.
One of the greatest examples for this was John Mary Vianny. He was the last in his class. In French and Latin he was the last student. He failed in Theology studies. So he was asked to leave the seminary. After that he was taught Theology privately and was ordained in 1815. Three years later he was appointed to the parish of Ars, a parish, where practically no one went to church. In a few years people began to come on pilgrimage to Ars. He became the most sought after spiritual advisor. It is an example of last being first. John Mary Vianney was last but now he is the patron of parish priests.
What has caused the miracle? The gracious touch of the Lord. This miracle will happen to anyone who tries to enter by the narrow gate; who disregards the standards of the world and set his goal on high.
There is a beautiful story about a fruit seller. He supplied fruits to the Royal court. One day the King had a special guest. He ordered mangoes to be supplied for the dinner. Since the season of Mangoes was over there was none to be picked from anywhere. After a long struggle he managed to get hold of a few. But, they could not be presented to the royal court as they were partially damaged. Fear of punishment had overtaken him. He managed to get an audience to the queen. Falling at her feet and placing the damaged mangoes he begged for mercy. The queen was compassionate. She took the mangoes from him and asked him to go in peace.
The queen was at the table to serve the guest. She placed the mangoes in a golden plate and set before the king and the guest. Everyone was well pleased with it and the king rewarded the fruit seller.
Today, the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, assures us that we have a queen to present our cause before God in a way acceptable to him.
The origin of the Catholic belief in the Assumption of Mary goes back to many centuries. The Feast represents a Catholic Doctrine that was defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950. The proclamation of the Church states that, revealed by God, the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into Heavenly glory. This glorification is simply the result of the singularly heroic and complete surrender to the Will of God.
We have to appreciate her extraordinary life, vocation, commitment and sufferings. Her Immaculate Conception was the beginning of her heroic life, and her assumption was the end. But the road in between was the way of the cross. At every step she said, "Yes" to God. She said "Yes" at the annunciation, submitting to God's plans as the "handmaid of the Lord", when in spite of the words of the angel, so many things about her future remained unclear. She said "Yes" again at Bethlehem, when Jesus was born in the midst of so much poverty. She said "Yes" when she was told to flee with the child to Egypt. She said "Yes" to God at Nazareth for thirty years, when she experienced many anxious moments. She said "Yes" to her loneliness when Jesus left her. She said "Yes" to God when she heard about the opposition that Jesus received from the Religious leaders. She said "Yes" to God when she stood at the foot of the cross. Her life was a perfect submission to the plan of God.
The Ten Commandments are summed up into two. "Love God with all your heart and Love your neighbour." With her unconditional "Yes" to the plan of God she had perfectly obeyed the first commandment. Mary, too remains, as an excellent example for loving the neighbours. Having learnt from the angel that her cousin Elizabeth was about to give birth to a child, Mary set quickly to visit her. It was a long and dangerous journey for a girl of her age, yet she did not think of herself but of the need of her cousin. At Cana when she learned that they had no wine she brought it to the notice of her son. She was sensitive to the need of others. At the foot of the cross Jesus has entrusted her with the care of the whole humanity, and she accepted it.
She was a woman of strength and courage who experienced poverty, alienation, suffering and exile. With all these experiences she remained close to God and close to humanity. Therefore, God worked wonders through her.
In the first century BC, Rome was the centre of attention. As the political power rested with it, the Roman emperor became the most powerful man. But God was establishing his might deed not through the mighty and powerful Emperor nor through the nobility, but through the humble submission of a Jewish girl. The determining event in history was not taking place in Rome, but in Mary. In the course of time Rome sank into oblivion, but the insignificance or Mary gained prominence, it still exerts tremendous influence on the lives of countless men and women even after 200 years.
The Assumption is a day on which to focus ourselves anew on our final goal, and our final hope of glory. It is an assurance that one day we too will stand up there with Mary with the moon beneath our feet, clothed with the sun and the stars as the crown on our heads. To achieve this goal our Mother invites us to joyfully submit to God's plan; to grow always more conscious of our lowliness; to put our complete trust in God; and to respond to God through service to our neighbour.
22 May 2010, The Air India Express took off from Dubai and headed towards Mangalore (India), with 160 passengers and 6 crew. The original reservation chart had the names of 169 people. In that nine people cancelled the trip. One of the passengers had just returned from India on 20th, but was called back by her ailing husband. So she boarded the next available flight. Out of 166, 158 died when the plane overshot the runway and crashed, while landing. 8 passengers survived the crash. Others were not so blessed. None of them knew that 21st night was their last night on the earth; and they would never see the sunrise again. They took the flight to their home town with great dreams and fantastic plans for the future.
There were men who were returning after three or four years of hard toil in the blazing deserts to join their dear ones. There were young men who boarded the flight with dreams of their bride, the wedding celebrations and the joys of building up a new family. All these dreams crashed along with the plane.
Today's readings remind us too, to be ready to accept the call any day. Both the readings from Wisdom and from Hebrews invite us this week to dwell upon the theme of our need for a lively faith and hope in the things to come. Wisdom presents an account of the tenth plague during the night of the Passover, when the angel of death struck down the first born of the Egyptians and spared the Israelites who had sprinkled the blood of the lamb on their door posts. God was liberating them from slavery and they put their trust in the power of their God to save them. Hebrews similarly presents the faith of Abraham and Sarah as blessed by God because they "were searching for a better and heavenly home."
The Gospel completes this teaching in Jesus´ words to be ready at all times for the end, and to live each day as if it were the last; to live each day before God and to render fully to him what he expects from each one of us.
God has revealed everything to us, but not the future. Alexander Pope described it beautifully in his poem "Essay on Man".
Today's gospel speaks of every kind of activity in life, whether family or career. We are called to do our assigned tasks as best we can.
Jesus identifies four types of people: First, we have the servant who was vigilant and ready. He was not worried about the outcome of his actions. He was not troubled about the resentments of the past. He was not taken up by the glories of the future. He just carried out his duties entrusted to him. The master of the house would actually wait on these servants, as if the servants had become the master of the house, which would be unheard of in ancient times and almost unbelievable to Christ's audience.
Second, there is the servant who seeks his own way. He thinks "My master is taking his time." He postpones his end. He thinks he has enough time at hand. Jesus says, "His master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know." There are many among us who choose our own way. We postpone the offer of pardon to our brothers. We postpone giving up certain evil habits, we postpone the payment of the debt. But we do not realize that we may not get another chance. We may be called at any time to settle our accounts.
Third, there is the servant who knows God's law but does not make preparations or act in accord with God's plan. These are the people who deliberately break the commandments.
Finally, there is the servant who was ignorant of God's law and acts in a way deserving of a severe punishment shall be beaten only lightly.
The Gospel ends with the admonition of Jesus: "from those to whom much has been given, much will be expected." We must value the fact that the Lord has given us much… he has died for us and given us new life in Christ, he has given us all the grace we need through the sacraments and the Church to live a life in accordance with our new dignity. He has blessed each one of us abundantly with his grace and love. He will expect a return on all he has given us.

Asana uses a small and delightful hotspot to drive attention to a key task (adding a project).
The hotspot is in an unusual droplet shape and pulses until the menu is clicked. It really catches attention.
The hotspot appears to be targeted to new users who haven't done much in the product yet. Small reminders are a good way to get people going.
Adding a project is probably a major point of value for Asana users, but users aren't forced through the task. Users can take any number of other tasks to get started.

Whenever choosing a dumpster, though, it's often a good idea to ask for a size larger than what you think you will need. Unless you're a professional, it's tough to estimate the precise size required for your project. By getting a somewhat larger size, you spend a bit more cash, but you also prevent the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster will get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions are not totally normal from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that a lot of dumpster businesses usually rent, therefore it's perfect for large residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
When you need to rent a dumpster in Agoura Hills to use at your home, it's a good idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, ascertain the size dumpster that'll work best for your job. Temporary dumpsters commonly come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Then think about the positioning of the dumpster on your premises. Recommendations call for you to give a space that's double the width and height of the container. This may ensure appropriate height and space clearance.
The price you're quoted for the container will have a one time delivery and pick-up fee, along with normal fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You should also understand you could just fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, you should also check with your local city or municipality to determine if a permit is necessary to put the container on the street.
Building Dumpster Rental in Agoura Hills - Do You Want One?
The most common exception to this rule is when you have a truck that is big enough to transport all building debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you are working on a little bathroom remodeling project, for instance, you might find that you could fit all of the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very little jobs, it's recommended that you rent a dumpster in Agoura Hills for building jobs.
If you aren't sure whether your municipality accepts building debris, contact the city for more info. You will likely find you will have to rent a dumpster in Agoura Hills. Setting debris out for garbage removal could potentially result in fines.
What if I need my dumpster in Agoura Hills picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Agoura Hills, part of your rental agreement includes a given length of time you're permitted to use the container. You normally base this time on how long you think your project might take. The bigger the job, the more time you'll need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental firms in Agoura Hills give you a rate for a particular amount of days. Should you exceed that amount of days, you will pay another fee daily. In case the job goes more rapidly than expected, perhaps you are finished with the dumpster sooner than you anticipated.
If this really is the case, give the dumpster business a call and they will likely come pick your container up early; this will permit them to rent it to someone else more fast. You usually WOn't get a reduction on your own rate if you ask for early pick up. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or no matter your term is), whether you use them all or not.
The most typical dumpsters contain 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. Should you have a small project, for example clearing out a garage or cellar, you can probably reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. Should you have a larger project, for example a complete remodel or constructing a brand new house, then you will most likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many folks decide to rent a larger dumpster than they think they will want. Although renting a larger dumpster costs more cash, it is more affordable than having to an additional dumpster after a little one gets total.
The amount of money that you spend renting a dumpster in Agoura Hills will depend on several factors.
The total amount of time that you might want to keep the dumpster rental in Agoura Hills will also change the price. The the more time you keep the dumpster, the further you can anticipate to pay.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Agoura Hills will make your project easier and safer to finish on time. When renting a dumpster in Agoura Hills, follow these suggestions to help you plan ahead.
You may usually schedule the period of time you plan to keep the dumpster when you first telephone to set up your dumpster service. This typically comprises the drop-off and pick-up dates. Most businesses do request that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This really is essential to make sure the dumpster is put in the best location for your project. You do not need to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
Should you get into your job and understand you desire pick-up sooner or later than you initially requested, that's not a difficulty. Simply telephone the business's office and clarify what you need, and they'll do everything they can to accommodate your request. There may be times they can't match your adjusted schedule precisely because of previous commitments, nevertheless they'll do the best they are able to in order to pick your dumpster upward at the appropriate time.
You can fill your dumpster as high as you like, as long as you really do not load it higher compared to the sides of the container. Over filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or big-boned dumpsters are just not safe, and businesses don't carry dangerous loads as a way to protect motorists and passengers on the road.
In some regions, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. In case your load is too high, it WOn't be able to be tarped so you may have to remove a number of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may result in additional fees if it demands you to keep the dumpster for a longer period of time. Remember to keep your load no higher compared to the sides of the dumpster, and you'll be fine.
If that is your very first time renting a dumpster in Agoura Hills, you may not know what is legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. If your plan is to put the dumpster completely on your own property, you're not commonly required to obtain a permit.
If, nevertheless, your project requires you to put the dumpster on a public road or roadway, this will under normal conditions mean that you need to try to qualify for a permit. It is almost always advisable to check with your local city or county offices (perhaps the parking enforcement division) if you have a question regarding the requirement for a permit on a road.
If you neglect to obtain a permit and find out afterwards that you were required to have one, you will probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Agoura Hills cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
When you rent a dumpster in Agoura Hills, you are dealing with professionals who use terms connected with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. As you probably don't use these terms every day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This can actually allow you to cope with company employees who may get impatient if you don't comprehend what they are explaining about their products.
"Container" and "roll off" are both satisfactory terms for the large metal box you want to rent. Professionals don't use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are usually rented in cubic yard sizes, but you don't have to contain the "cubic" part. Merely say "yard" or "yarder." If, for example, you need to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you can say, "I am interested in a 30-yard roll off" or "I'd like to rent a 30-yarder." Use these terms, and you'll seem like a guru when you call.


Ron Whitten on a rediscovered Maxwell course in Kansas. Or maybe it's not.
One of the major Maxwell finds occurred a dozen years ago, at Hillcrest Golf Course in Coffeyville, hard against the Oklahoma border in the southeast corner of Kansas. It pains me to say that I had a hand in delaying its discovery, and it pains me even more to now report that it's not quite the major find that many think it is.

Home / Limited Edition Print / Bear
Print Method: Giclée
Released: January 2010
At first glance, a bear appears to be too large to be fast and ferocious. Lumbering around, they may choose to eat berries instead of hunting down a meal. When threatened, however, bears will not hesitate to show their other, more lethal, personality. Mothers, in particular, will fight tooth and nail to defend the life of her cubs. The last thing a threat may see is a curl of a lip, the swat of a paw and the flash of her claws.
Covered head to toe in protective gear, a hockey goalie lumbers out of the dressing room encumbered by huge pads and gloves. While they may not be able to cover a great deal of ice quickly, the net is an area that is rigourously defended. A goalie shows skill by falling to the ice or swatting the puck away with a poke check. Under attack the play is often ended with the raising of an arm and a flash of leather.
I've chosen to include this print in the Spirits of Snow & Ice Collection which pays homage to the winter sports that take place in my hometown and all over much of British Columbia. The background image of the bear is done in respect of my Coast Salish ancestry and represents a spindle whorl design. The spindle whorl, I feel, is the perfect metaphor for weaving together our worlds.
The prints in this series bring together the four worlds present in our First Nations belief structure: The sky world represented by the dawning of a new day. The land world to which all the athletes in these images belong. The sea world evoked through the frozen waves of snow & ice. The spirit world guiding the athletes and giving them the characteristics of our sacred animals.
"Bear" is a limited edition print using the giclée method of printmaking. This print was released in January of 2010 and printed by Andy Everson at Copper Canoe, the artist's own studio in Comox B.C. A total of 221 prints bear the title "Bear" and are signed by Andy Everson: 200 in the primary edition bearing the numbers 1/200 through 200/200; 20 Artist's Proofs; and 1 Printer's Proof. Numbers 1 through 50 in the primary edition and all Artist's Proofs are available exclusively in limited edition matched box sets containing all 10 prints of the Spirits of Snow & Ice Collection. The acid-free Moab Entrada 100% cotton rag paper measures 11x17 inches. Image size measures about 9.5x14.5 inches.

Concrete washouts are used to contain concrete and liquids when the chutes of concrete mixers and hoppers of concrete pumps are rinsed out after delivery. The washout facilities consolidate solids for easier disposal and prevent runoff of liquids. The wash water is alkaline and contains high levels of chromium which can leach into the ground and contaminate groundwater. It can also migrate to a storm drain, which can cause an increase of pH of area waters and harm aquatic life. Solids that are improperly disposed of can clog storm drain pipes and cause flooding. Installing concrete washout facilities not only prevents pollution but also is a matter of good housekeeping at your construction site.
Avoid costly EPA fines. The maximum fine levied by the Environmental Protection Agency can be as high as $11,000.00 per day, per project. This is an extreme example. Fines usually range from two to five hundred dollars and/or a stop work order. You don't wnat to be the government's next target. Prepare for enforcement within the city or county you are working in.
Eastcoast SiteWork specializes in concrete washout systems. Our experts will make sure your site is taking every step possible to prevent pollution and maintain a clean atmosphere at your construction site.

A Surprise Find ...
How many readers and followers here are familiar with a site called Book Crossing ? I had never heard of the site, until recently when, I arrived at my day job at the post office one Monday lunchtime and found a paperback sitting at my counter. Being a bit of a book person, I was keen to reunite the book with its owner and opened the front cover hoping that I might be able to find a name and a telephone number, or any other detail that would help me track down the owner. Instead, I found this: A travelling book. Cool! It turns out that Book Crossing is a massive site that promotes reading by asking its members to distribute books in unusual places. For people who find the books, the idea is to them read the book the book, log their journey at the site and share it along. This sounds like a lot of fun, and so after I've read this book (and reviewed it on here, of course,) I'll share it along ...
Review: The Potion Diaries by Amy Alward
I was a little surprised to receive this quirky novel in the mail, one which seemed to be more middle grade than YA, but it proved to be a great deal of fun and I am glad that I read it, as it proved to be a an excellent and light hearted distraction while I recovered from a serious injury that I sustained earlier this year. The first in a series, The Potion Diaries is set in a world that is almost like ours, but with a few key differences, most notably that the world has been heavily reliant on potions and the art of potion making, though that is slowly dying out due to the manufacture of synthetic potions. The synthetic potions is something of a problem for our protagonist Samantha Kemi, who is an apprentice potion maker and set to take over the running of her small, family owned business one day. Then there is the smaller matter of her feelings for Zain, a young man who just also happens to be the son of the biggest synthetic potion maker in the kingdom. Anyway, things all come

Review: Grey by E.L. James
Sleazy, totally unnecessary and oddly entertaining are the first words that come to mind when I think about Grey the new companion novel to Fifty Shades of Grey, which is basically the same story as Fifty Shades, but told from the perspective of Christian Grey, the young and emotionally damaged billionaire who has a penchant for sadism and a weakness for the impressionable and virginal university student, Ana Steele. There are a few flashes of insight into the character, though author E.L. James' writing remains as odd and trashy as ever. (I think I had lost count by the first half of the novel of how many times Christian had said "My cock hardens." And then there is the fact that his penis is treated like a separate entity capable of thought and hearing.) By this point, of course, readers know what they are going to get, and if they liked the first three novels, they will probably like this one, and if they hated the first three novels, well ... you get the idea.

Review: Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
The publication of Go Set a Watchman was a surprise for a number of reasons, the biggest of which was that this novel by Harper Lee was actually the original manuscript for her classic and beloved novel To Kill a Mockingbird . The second reason is, obviously, the decision for the book to be published at all, after so many years. Go Set a Watchman is a book that in one sense needs to be viewed very much in its historical context--its not a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird and nor it is a prequel. What is it, is an earlier draft of the same novel, one that was not accepted for publication. And that said, it is still a brilliant book. Go Set a Watchman is uncomfortable reading at times, but I strongly suspect that it was supposed to be. It opens with an adult version of Scout Finch, now better known as Jean Louise Finch, returning home to Maycomb from New York (where she has been working,) to visit her ailing father Atticus, her aunt and her sort-of beau, Henry.

Review: Under the Skin by Michel Faber
Under the Skin, Michel Faber's debut novel is a great many things. It's creepy, it's unnerving, it pulled me well out of my comfort zone and it offers surprising but credible arguments in favour of both veganism and the legalisation of marijuana, as well as there being some solid commentary on the way that women are often regarded as little more than sexual objects. The novel opens with Isserley, a woman who spends most of her time driving through the Scottish Highlands searching for hitchhikers. The hitchhikers are collected, drugged and returned to her employers and left to a surprising fate. Over the course of the novel, the author cleverly drip feeds information, which left me guessing as to who and what Isserley was precisely. Her lot in life is a sad one, while her breast implants make a sad but relevant commentary about sexism. (I would go into details, but these are things best discovered as the individual reader turns the pages of the book for themselves.)
Review: The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory
What kind of a woman would marry a man who has married five times previously and had two of those wives beheaded? One who does not have a choice and who thinks, perhaps, that she may just be the one woman who can survive him. That is the premise of British author Philippa Gregory's latest Tudor Court novel, which can be enjoyed either as part of the series, or as a stand-alone work. This time around, the author gives readers an in-depth glimpse at an often overlooked part of the history of the Tudors, the brief marriage of King Henry VII and his sixth--and final--wife, Kateryn Parr. Although a little long and tiresome in places, Gregory offers a compelling portrayal of a young widow who puts aside her love of another man to marry an overbearing and eccentric monarch and during the course of her marriage educates not only herself but sees to the education of her stepchildren, and who actively participates in the reformation of the church, translating parts of the bible into

Review: The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffmann
While many readers will already be aware of the great artist Camille Pissarro, known affectionately as "The Father of Impressionism," few will know of the beautiful story of the artist's mother, Rachel and of her defiant and passionate love affair with his father, Frederick. In The Marriage of Opposites accomplished American author Alice Hoffman ( The Dovekeepers , The Museum of Extraordinary Things ,) beautifully brings the story of Rachel to life, portraying her as a strong, capable and loving woman who triumphs time and time again over adversity and against the odds. I loved reading this one from start to finish, reading the account of Rachel's childhood on the island of St Thomas, her arranged marriage to a much older widower and her eventual love affair with the young and quiet Frederick which sees her banished from the close-knit and incredibly fundamentalist Jewish community on the island, of which she had been a lifelong member.

Kathryn's Inbox Exclusive: Would-be Robber Traumatised by Appalling Customer Service Experience
NOWHERESVILLE, AUSTRALIA--A would-be burglar sent his local bank a very strongly worded letter of complaint this week, after his attempts to break inside the bank were foiled by staff. At 4.31pm last Friday, Frederik Fredrikson attempted to force his way inside the Rich Bastard's Bank as staff were closing for the day. His attempts were soon foiled, however, when a savvy staff member noticed Fredrikson outside, clad in a motorcycle helmet and clutching a gun. The staff member then activated the banks security system. Police were immediately dispatched to the bank and Fredrikson was arrested. "I felt the bank's customer service was appalling," Fredrikson told one of our reporters from his current residence, the Nowheresville Remand Centre. "I'd gone to the bank with the intention of sticking a gun in the face of someone who worked there and potentially causing them years of psychological harm, along with being allowed to take a considerable sum of cash t
The following photographs are of the artwork that was commissioned for the 150th anniversary of South Australia. Sitting in the plaza just between Parliament House and the Festival Theatre (and to the side of Adelaide Railway Station,) these once proud works of art have fallen into a state of neglect and may or may not still be open to the public at the time this post is published. They are to make way for newer and brighter artworks.
I actually have no idea whether the above is true or an urban myth. But, if it is real ... was there a similar backlash against Porky Pig?
This is one of many murals that sits on the upper level of Noarlunga Interchange. I like this one, as it reminds me of many the childhood trips to the city, usually taken during the holidays or on a day that my parents deemed special enough to allow me to skip during school--and usually on a rattly old Red Hen! Anything else, such as a Super Train (aka Jumbo,) or the shiny new 3000 class trains was rare on the Noarlunga Line until the mid-1990s! If you look closely, in the window in the background, you can see another mural from the station.

Nitroxyl (HNO), the one electron reduced and protonated form of nitric oxide (NO(•)), is rapidly emerging as a novel nitrogen oxide with distinct pharmacology and therapeutic advantages over its redox sibling. Whilst the cardioprotective effects of HNO in heart failure have been established, it is apparent that HNO may also confer a number of vasoprotective properties. Like NO(•), HNO induces vasodilatation, inhibits platelet aggregation, and limits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. In addition, HNO can be putatively generated within the vasculature, and recent evidence suggests it also serves as an endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). Significantly, HNO targets signaling pathways distinct from NO(•) with an ability to activate K(V) and K(ATP) channels in resistance arteries, cause coronary vasodilatation in part via release of calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP), and exhibits resistance to scavenging by superoxide and vascular tolerance development. As such, HNO synthesis and bioavailability may be preserved and/or enhanced during disease states, in particular those associated with oxidative stress. Moreover, it may compensate, in part, for a loss of NO(•) signaling. Here we explore the vasoprotective actions of HNO and discuss the therapeutic potential of HNO donors in the treatment of vascular dysfunction.


When the program excursion to Buenos Aires (several weeks ago now) visited the Recoleta Cemetery, I was struck by the "Make a Wish" billboard framed at the end of one of the narrow paths--streets, in a sense--that crisscross the cemetery. Well off hallowed ground, but present in its visibility, a foil to the wishes expressed in the elaborate tombs: wishes for status, for immortality, for some tangible way to communicate to the dead how intensely they were missed, and loved. And life goes on, visible in cobwebs and bromeliads and the crowds of tourists with cameras.
I've been thinking about juxtapositions, including those visual juxtapositions, reflections. Thinking them in Spanish and in English. Maybe because reflejo (in a mirror) and reflexión (thoughts, considerations) are two I still have to think about too often, afraid I'll mark my thoughtful interventions as mere wavery mirror preening. Also because yuxtaposición is fun to say in Spanish, the x a little softer, the y a somehow more welcoming glide into the word. But more because being here, out of my usual context, invites reflection, comparison, the hey, what's that? reflex of the photographer. And I've been enjoying reflections in café windows and mirrored office blocks while feeling stymied by the reflections in ferry windows that prevented my recording the not-too-interesting view of acres of brown river water with no shore in sight. No great loss, right? But when you can't get the shot you want, you're sure you're missing something.
Yuxtaposición/Juxtaposition: a winner for Scrabble in either language, but hard to pull off, being so long. Maybe I'm really thinking about repetition, the repetition intrinsic to memory and to theater, the same only different, again and again and again.
A highlight of my trip to Montevideo was Oyster, a performance by the Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollack Dance Company (Israel). [Watch a tantalizing little clip here.] Why juxtaposition? Because of the unexpected combinations of music and movement, the odd wigs, the humor, the extraordinary postures, the color. Because of the new of their performance (with all its nods toward older performance traditions) against the grand old Teatro Solís, all gold paint and red velvet. Because it was just so wonderful, I want to tell everyone.
There's a parrot in this shrub, if you can find it.

Wonderful. The world is full of rhymes. You just have to know how to spot them. Like that parrot.

Eric O'Neill was once a counterterrorism operative for the FBI, where he played a major role in capturing the spy Robert Hanssen (his boss at the FBI, whom he was hired to spy on — for more on that, check out his Wikipedia page). His role in capturing Hanssen became the subject of the movie Breach (2007), starring Ryan Philippe as O'Neill.
Now Eric is the national security strategist at Carbon Black, as well as a renowned thought leader on counterintelligence, cybersecurity vulnerability assessments and espionage. He frequently appears on US national broadcast shows across CNN, Bloomberg, Fox Business and others to weigh in on breaking national security news. Here's how he works.
I was a Navy kid who didn't follow my father's footsteps into the Naval Academy. I corrected that omission by joining an elite team of counterintelligence and counterterrorism undercover operatives at the FBI. Computer systems, programming, hacking and building have always been passions of mine since my first computer (Apple IIgs). My knowledge of computer systems led me to be handpicked for undercover work during the Robert Hanssen investigation. My efforts led to the smoking gun that eventually led to Hanssen's arrest and conviction for espionage.
I left the FBI to practice law in the areas of government contracts, affairs and national security law. After five years in big law, I started a company with three other investigators named The Georgetown Group. Last year I accepted a position as the National Security Strategist with Carbon Black — a perfect fit for my cyber security experience. Professionally, when I am not investigating issues for The Georgetown Group or putting my futurist hat on for Carbon Black, I'm supporting a global humanitarian charity or I'm on the road speaking at events around the world.
Google Maps because who can live without it these days?
I work best when I'm on my feet and use a standing desk to help me concentrate. The only chair in my office is one of three in a sitting area away from my desk that probably would remind you of your grandfather's den. I also use this curved piece of plastic that looks like a skateboard without wheels to stand on all day. I can sway back and forth and it keeps my feet from aching. The wall closest to my standing desk is coated in whiteboard paint and is filled with thoughts, ideas, random pictures drawn by my kids when they come visit, to do lists, and other mental chaos that requires physical expression. At the office I use a monitor, keyboard and mouse. At home, just the laptop. I keep it simple.
Flipboard. I have the app programmed to give me a curated news feed that keeps me up to date on all the things I speak about. I use it to send information over to my Twitter feed. If you'd like to see my Flipboard magazine, it's called "Chasing Shadows".
I use Reminders — the native iPhone app. Often I just use the Notes app. Pleasantly, both sync to my Macbook and iPad.
I know how to focus my attention on a task throughout the workday and then totally turn off when it's time to go home. This allows me to recharge and renew myself for the next day. It's like a fighter getting back into the ring refreshed after each round. I have rituals and routines to help me with this. The first thing I do when I get home from work is to change into comfortable clothes. The ritual of taking off the suit or business casual "uniform" helps me shed the worries and stress of work. This, in turn, helps me be present for my family. The work I do is all for them, after all.
When I am concentrating I like silence, especially when I'm writing or reviewing a contract or complex document. It's important to remove all distractions and be at full capacity to complete the task. For lighter work or basic research, I listen to podcasts or NPR. I couldn't drive anywhere without my podcasts.
I am currently reading Robin Hobb's latest book. I do so much technical and analytical writing that I prefer to read fiction whenever possible to let my mind dream.
The best way to recharge and forget about work is to spend time with my wife and children. I am also a lifetime devotee to martial arts and recently got into CrossFit. Working up a good sweat is a tried and true method to take the mind off everything except the next deadlift or flying side kick.
I am a night owl. My wife calls me the ghost that haunts our house after everyone else is asleep. I'm a lifelong insomniac, so getting to sleep is always a struggle — except evenings after I've been awake since 5:00AM for a CrossFit class. Those days sleep comes easy!
My father's advice: "Sleep is a weapon." I recite this advice each night like a mantra because, as with so many things, my father is completely on point. Sleep helps us organise our minds and exorcise the demons of the day. We are sharper after plenty of sleep, thought comes faster and we become more in tune with our surroundings. The most critical part of my process before a keynote is to manage a great night of sleep the night before. Connecting with my audience, finding the words that will excite them, and pacing and measuring my thoughts all come faster after a restful night.
Working is something we do to improve our lives. We also spend quite a deal of time working. My most successful career moves have in many ways been leaps of faith into areas that excite or challenge me. If you love what you do, find it fulfilling and consistently feel a sort of forward momentum, you'll never think of your job as work. Once things start to feel routine, boring or stalled, it's time to make a change. That's when you make your next leap.

Kyrie Irving backs up boast as Nets clip Knicks in chippy affair
By Brian Lewis
October 25, 2019 | 10:45pm
Knicks facing RJ Barrett uncertainty after blowout loss
RJ Barrett leaves game with ankle sprain in Knicks nightmare
Kyrie Irving boldly stated the Nets' plan to take over New York. Then he put his game where his mouth was.
Irving made all the plays down the stretch to lead the Nets to a 113-109 come-from-behind victory over the Knicks at Barclays Center on Friday for their first win of the season after a crushing season-opening loss Wednesday.
"I had to get my emotions to a poised state. We had some empty possessions where I threw up some wild shots or there was a turnover or a foul," Irving said. "I had to bring in the guys tell them to calm down. We just had to get three solid possessions offensively and defensively. Down the stretch I feel like we made some big time plays."
Brooklyn had blown a 19-point cushion, coughed up a 15-2 run and trailed 109-106 going into the final, fateful minute. That's when Irving, who had a game-high 26 points and five assists, helped deliver a victory.
Irving hit a long pull-up to get the Nets within one, then a step-back 3-pointer with 22.4 seconds left to put them ahead. And when Jarrett Allen helped force a Julius Randle (14 points) turnover with 11.2 seconds remaining, the Nets iced the game.
"Great player making a great shot," Knicks coach David Fizdale said of Irving.
Kyrie Irving not only winner in this Knicks-Nets battle
The winner on a Friday night on Atlantic Avenue was...
Irving boldly told Brooklyn fans the previous night that "we're going to take over the whole entire city." And the star guard, who grew up in West Orange, N.J., as a Nets fan authored the latest chapter in this rivalry.
"Now the Nets happen to be in Brooklyn, it makes it a lot more fun," Irving said. "You go out there, hear the boos, see the Knicks fans out there. It's all good."
The fun was the playoff atmosphere, complete with a star-studded crowd that included Spike Lee, Aaron Judge, CC Sabathia, Tracy Morgan, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz. They saw a thriller — and some chippiness.
Late in the second quarter, the two teams got into a skirmish. Irving drove to the rim late and was denied by Randle, but got his own rebound while sitting on the floor. While Irving tried to figure out what to do with the ball, Bobby Portis came over and tried to wrestle it out of his hands or force a jump ball.
Taurean Prince didn't appreciate Portis' physicality and rushed to Irving's aid, trying to pull the Knick away. Pushing and shoving ensued, and the referees had to separate everyone before punches were thrown. Once the dust settled, Portis and Prince were both hit with technicals.
The Knicks juggled a lineup that had lost in San Antonio in the season-opener. Mitchell Robinson was back after missing the Spurs game, and after Fizdale's experimentation Wednesday with RJ Barrett at point guard, he handed the keys to Elfrid Payton.
Neither proved enough.
Knicks-Nets get in skirmish in their first rivalry game of season
The offseason went a long way in spicing up the...
The Nets mounted a 15-2 run that spanned the first and second quarters. The Knicks called a timeout with 11:07 left in the half to stem the tide, but by then the Nets led 37-23.
The first time Irving sat in Wednesday's opener, the Nets immediately coughed up a 25-9 run. But against the Knicks, Spencer Dinwiddie (20 points) and the bench padded their cushion to double-figures the first time Irving got a breather.
The Nets pushed the lead to 19 — 70-51 — after Prince opened the second half with consecutive 3-pointers.
They blew that lead, and had to scramble to bounce back.
With the Nets still ahead 104-94, the Knicks went on their own 15-2 tear. Wayne Ellington came off the bench to punish his former team with three 3-pointers. The third put the Knicks ahead 107-106 with 3:56 to play, their first lead since Randle hit the game's first basket 25 seconds into play.
But with the Knicks up 109-106, Ellington's travel gave the Nets life. And Irving cashed in, his pull-up getting them within a point, and his 3 over Barrett's outstretched hands putting the Nets up 111-109 with 21.9 seconds to play. Barrett called it reminiscent of Irving's NBA title-winning shot.
"We just kept fighting," Barrett said. "We know we were underdogs, but we kept fighting."
Randle knocked a loose ball out of bounds with 11.2 seconds on the clock to give the Nets the ball with the lead. And Dinwiddie closed the game out at the line.

05 Jan Shona Irvine appointed as OATS' Activity Projects Manager
Posted at 14:10h in News	by	Paddy Cuthbert
OATS is delighted to announce that Shona Irvine has today, 05-01-22, started her new role as Activity Projects Manager. She will lead on volunteering and maintenance in the Cairngorms and throughout Scotland, and assist in the delivery of Activity Projects in the Cairngorms.
Having grown up in Aviemore Shona loves the outdoors whether it is running, biking, swimming, or meandering.
She studied ecological and environmental sciences at Edinburgh University followed by a Masters Degree in Conservation. On return from university, she realised just how lucky she had always been to access the hills so easily and how keen she was to enable others to enjoy the outdoors, while also protecting the landscape.
Shona has worked and volunteered with a range of organisations from turtle surveys in the Canadian wetlands and invasive species management in Edinburgh parks to Reindeer Herding near Aviemore. Most recently she worked in habitat restoration work for the RSPB and as a Nature Reserves Officer for NatureScot.
She is passionate about working with people and the natural landscape. She is really looking forward to working in the areas where she has walked, skied, and climbed all her life.
We wish her all the best in her new role.

Burning questions: you want the answer right now but they are sometimes difficult to formulate. What to do?
Did you ever asked someone burning questions and the answer wasn't satisfying? It could be that the person didn't know the right answer but often it is about the cooperation between 2 people. When your question is clear, there is more chance that someone could help you out.
This article informs you on how to formulate the right questions fast so you get detailed answers from your tarot reader.
1. What is the subject of your question?
Is your question about love, friendship, business or career? Choose one of these subjects and write your subject down. If you are not sure write 2 of these subjects down because we are going to filter a detailed question in the end.
2. How to the subject affects you?
What happens within yourself when you think about this subject? Do you feel a particular emotion, for example: sadness, frustration, anger, confused, hopelessness, desperation, happiness, warmth, butterflies? Write down the emotion that is the strongest when it comes to this subject.
3. Are there other party's involved that affect the subject?
If your question is about your love relationship the other party is your partner. Ask yourself how they affect the subject in your point of view. If you are single and you worry about other people expect from you that you have a partner, your environment affects the subject.
4. What are your doubts?
A tarot reading will give you insights and clarity on your situation. If you are already sure of your situation you wouldn't ask the tarot for help. That is why it will help you to get a more detailed tarot reading if you be open about the statements you make that you are not sure about. Be open minded if the outcome is different then expected. This could help you to see your situation from another perspective.
The outcome isn't always what you like to hear. The tarot reader is reading cards and based on this outcome you can find out what is in it for you. Connect with your emotions and be honest with yourself when the tarot reader didn't tell what they like to hear. It is good to be honest to yourself so the tarot reader can be honest as well. The tarot won't tell you anything that you are not ready for.
Example 1 (Joan): Joans question was in the first place why her husband isn't coming home anymore. Do you already know the answer? Then you will probably hear the same answer from your tarot reader but their could be some more insight coming up that you are not aware of.
Example 2 (Casey): Because Casey doesn't know if the other person loves them back. So asking the tarot how they feel about each other could be the right question for a tarot reading before they confront this personwith their own feelings.
So as you can see, keep it simple but give your question a direction. If you choose not to have a direction the tarot is giving you a direction. This direction will be translated by the tarot reader. Leave a comment below about what you think.


Are We About To Enter A 'Little Ice Age'?
Solar activity is slowing down and more freezing winters could be on the horizon for the U.S. and Europe, according to a report by the UK's top climate office, leading one scientist to wonder if global warming could come to an end.
Using climate models to project the impacts of low solar activity, Met Office scientist Sarah Ineson and her colleagues found that the overall cooling effect of a "grand solar minimum" would be marginal — only offsetting 0.1 degree Celsius of warming.
Ineson, however, did find that cooling would be much more pronounced on a regional scale, especially in the polar regions. This means that Europe and North America could see significantly more cooling than the rest of the world, particularly during the winter. The Met Office predicts northern Europe could see 0.4 to 0.8 degrees of cooling if solar activity hits low levels not seen in centuries.
Not all scientists, however, agree with the Met Office's findings. Kevin Trenberth with the National Center for Atmospheric Research says claims of solar minimum-induced cooling are purely speculative.
The Met Office's study has reopened the debate over the impacts solar activity has on the Earth's climate. For years, some scientists have predicted that declining solar activity will cool the planet to levels not seen since the "Little Ice Age" — a cold period dating from the late Middle Ages to the mid-18th Century that coincided with low solar activity.
Some scientists have argued that declining solar activity played a role in the so-called "hiatus" in global warming seen in the satellite record for the last two decades as well as in the surface temperature record for the last 10 to 15 years.
"Not since cycle 14 peaked in February 1906 has there been a solar cycle with fewer sunspots. We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and the current nearly blank sun may signal the end of the solar maximum phase," according to experts at Vencore Weather.
"Going back to 1755, there have been only a few solar cycles in the previous 23 that have had a lower number of sunspots during its maximum phase," according to Vencore.
The Met Office is not the first group to tie declining solar cycles to cooling. Earlier this year, Shrinivas AundhkarL, director of India's Mahatma Gandhi Mission at the Centre for Astronomy and Space Technology, told people at a lecture that declining solar activity could mean a "mini ice age-like situation" around the corner.
Ineson and her research team, however, caution that declining solar activity will do little to avert man-made global warming, based on their climate model simulations.
"This study shows that the sun isn't going to save us from global warming, but it could have impacts at a regional level that should be factored into decisions about adapting to climate change for the decades to come," Inseon said.


"In 2004 I had been on the lookout for a non typical b uck that I had caught with my trail camera. It was a 180 class buck in full velvet the first time I saw a picture of it, that came in July. Saturday, October first, was opening day of the Ohio archery season. That evening I was in my tree stand when it came out of a very thick bedding area and approached my tree stand without a care. It looked like it was going to come right to my stand, but suddenly stopped and began looking over it's back towards the bedding area.
After a few seconds, it turned to move off in another direction, I quickly came to full draw and released an arrow at about 35 yards. It wasn't as good a shot as I had hoped, but I was sure I got at least one lung," Kenny stated as he retold the story.
"The big buck ran off and I didn't pursue it since it was getting dark and I wasn't all that sure if it had been a fatal shot," Kenny stated. The next morning he and two friends headed out to look for the buck and after a short time one of the fellows, Chad Custis, spotted the buck lying up along a creek and under the overhanging bank. It still appeared to be very much alive. Chad directed Kenny to circle around to where he would be able to make another shot and hopefully close the deal. After the shot, the buck still managed to run another 80 yards before piling up. "When it took off running, my brother-in-law, Mark Purtee, who is ex military and very athletic, took off following it at a full run and was able to see the buck when it finally fell dead.
It was a beautiful non-typical that scored 168 3/8 BTR in the irregular category, it has a composite score of 189 4/8 inches.
That's how hunting goes 'Down on the farm' as it were, everybody helps when needed to get the job done. Kenny Pickard is the son of a hard working farmer in Clinton County in Southwest Ohio. Kenny had tried his hand at farming but couldn't make enough to support his growing family so he took to schooling, became an aircraft mechanic and now works for the air freight carrier DHL at their hub in Wilmington, Ohio. Working second and third shift allows plenty of time in the woods for deer hunting, and he still helps dad with the farming as much as he can.
Kenny knew that with the direction of the wind, it would be only a matter of minutes before the doe would be downwind, she would scent him and the hunt would be over. "I got out of the tree as fast I could, then half crouched, ran due south away from the doe and to the edge of another field. I had more than a hundred yards of thick woods between me and the deer now, so I could make good time.
Dad and mom soon arrived on the John Deere Gator. Plenty of photos were posed and taken and then they loaded up the trophy and headed back to the farm house. Eventually it was transferred to Kenny's pickup for the drive to the check station. At the check station, of course, everyone was awed by the size of the rack that rose above the bed of the full size truck, and soon a crowd gathered. About that time he met a fellow who is a firm believer in the BTR system and that man, David Louvin then called me, (the author) to inform me that I needed to put a tape on this fellow's deer.
That deed was done on December 22. The deer officially sports 12 points on a solid ten point frame. The two stickers are 1 1/8 and 1 3/8 inches. The deer measures 175 7/8 inches with an inside spread of 21 5/8 for a composite score of 197 4/8 inches with 1.4% irregular inches of antler which puts it in the typical category making him #5 for Muzzleloader harvested deer.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model Announced, Coming in October
By Matthew Razak July 6, 2021
The inevitable has finally happened. Nintendo has announced the long-rumored "Switch Pro" today (though not quite with the specs people expected), revealing a new model of the popular gaming system that features a larger OLED screen, upgraded sound, and a few new tricks here and there. The Nintendo Switch (OLED Model), as it's calling it at the moment, is set to release on Oct. 8, 2021 and will retail for $350.
The Nintendo Switch OLED Model will feature a larger 7-inch 720p OLED, versus the original Switch's non-OLED 6.2-inch screen. That should deliver a far superior visual image than either of the current Switch models, but it is still not quite the 1080p that most folks were hoping for following rumors of a new Nvidia chip in the upgraded model. Nintendo also said that the system will operate in 1080p when docked, which is less than the hoped-for 4K.
The screen isn't the only upgrade, however. The flimsy kickstand on the original Switch is gone as well, replaced by an adjustable one on the Nintendo Switch OLED Model that stretches across the entire back of the system and actually allows you to change the angle of the screen when playing on a tabletop. That alone might get more people excited than anything else considering how crummy the previous kickstand was, but the Switch OLED will also feature 64 GB of storage — versus the previous 32 GB. You'll probably still need an SD card if you're a downloader of games, but that extra space doesn't hurt. Finally, the new system has upgraded sound, probably because the extra size leaves more room for bigger speakers, but we'll have to wait for more details on that.
If you play online with friends or random strangers, you'll also be happy to hear that the Switch OLED's dock now has a built-in wired LAN port, another feature that many have been clamoring for. Otherwise, the internal specs of the new hardware seem largely the same. At the moment it appears the console will only sell in a white colored Joy-Con, (Update: The traditional "Neon" color scheme is available as well.) but you can still pair it up with your other Joy-Con. Due to its different dimensions, the Switch OLED will not fit well with some Nintendo Labo products though.
This new model will release alongside Metroid Dread.

Many of you have written about subjects close to your heart--the well-being of children around the world. You have written about girls education in Nepal and Female Genital Mutilation in Nigeria.
If you have gotten these pictures from an NGO website (such as Save the Children or Care), you are probably safe--but make sure to note what organization takes credit for the photo. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us!
I appreciate your correction, its really helpful. Never the less, some of the pictures where adapted from an NGO report on FGM Compiled by Laura Reymond, Asha Mohamud, and Nancy Ali.
Also some pictures where from Safehaven International, an NGO that works on FGM in Nigeria that I interviewed.
Thanks for that update. If you can just make sure you note where the pictures come from clearly, that would be great!
Rachael, here is the source where the 2 (minors) children's pictures where adapted from.
Thank you so much Rachael for pointing that out. I was nursing that feeling and just on time, your post came.
Thank you so much Ify for the explanation, but alternatively, I am just thinking that you may remove some of those ones below.
I'm so glad that you have brought up this issue of using pictures. For instance in my organization we do not allow people to take pictures similar to those posted because we had a backlash when some people used and abused them out of the context of training and creating awareness. It is important to be aware of the consequences of using pictures in general and of children in particular.
Thanks for the reminder Rachael.
Dear Rachael, I got late to response your information as I had gone to visit my village where no internet is available.
By the way, thank you very much for important information. About the pictures I uploaded are taken from Google search and the one which is group of girls is from http://rara-lake.com/children-gam-ghadi.html . I have sent them email to take consent after seeing your message and waiting their response. The one appeared on top of the post is taken by me where the little one is my own daughter. And the one which is girl carrying baby is from http://www.hirsi.nl/foto-van-nepalees-meisje-met-zusje-bij-hun-winkel . So my question is now, can I update my post (pictures only) to give the source of picture? Looking forward to have your response.
