River Cottage to move into housewares
By Jo Howard
The River Cottage brand is planning to develop a range of licensed products, which will include kitchenware and tableware. The brand is working with brand extension agency The Point.1888 to secure a number of long-term sustainable licensee partnerships across a spectrum of select retailers.
Founded by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, the River Cottage business consists of TV series, cookery schools, three restaurants and books, and is marking its 20th year in business.
As part of this milestone, the team at River Cottage is looking to generate further brand awareness and get the message of eating seasonal, local, organic and wild to the nation through the introduction of a broader range of consumer products. Ranges are likely to include food and beverage products, as well as items for the home and kitchen, expected to launch from spring/summer 2020.
"We are delighted to be working with the River Cottage brand as it embodies the British countryside and natural living, and there is nothing quite like it in the UK," said George Birtchnell, head of business development at The Point.1888. "Retail is shouting out for a collective enterprise and brand of this calibre, with its ethos, refreshing outlook to how things should be done and nationwide appeal.
"We have some big plans and everyone at The Point.1888 is looking forward to working with Hugh and his team to develop and launch stunning product collections."
Lucy Lomas, commercial director at River Cottage, commented: "We feel there is a fantastic opportunity to develop River Cottage products that are in line with our values and ethos."

Q: How to store/change a hostname in ESP32 without reprogramming I was planning to change the code for the khoi-prog ESP_WiFiManager to add a hostname field to the configuration form.
I've already modified the form to support an optional field:
#ifdef CONFIG_HOSTNAME
const char WM_HTTP_FORM_START[] PROGMEM =
"`<`form method='get' action='wifisave'`>``<`fieldset`>``<`div`>``<`label`>`Hostname`<`/label`>``<`input id='h' name='h' length=32 "
"placeholder='Hostname'`>``<`div`>``<`/div`>``<`/div`>``<`div`>``<`label`>`SSID`<`/label`>``<`input id='s' name='s' length=32 "
"placeholder='SSID'`>``<`div`>``<`/div`>``<`/div`>``<`div`>``<`label`>`Password`<`/label`>``<`input id='p' name='p' length=64 "

Next to do was store the information in EEPROM but the "wifi_ap_record_t" structure that holds ssid and pwd, leaves no place to do that.
Does anybody have any idea where to leave this information in the ESP?
Can I just drop it somewhere in SPIFFS or EEPROM or will that bite me sometime in the future when I use EEPROM for another purpose. I've used EEPROM a few times before, but never inside a library.
Hope this is at all possible.

PCO Group - Jalapeño peppers – spicy topping for nachos and dips.
The jalapeño is a small, pepper-like fruit primarily grown in Mexico and the USA. Cut into rings and pickled, jalapeño peppers are popular as an extra spicy addition to nachos and dips. Anyone who likes it spicy tops the corn crisps with the little green fruits. These not only add extra spice to the snack, but are also quite healthy. Jalapeños contain a lot of vitamin C and capsaicin, a naturally occurring alkaloid in various types of pepper. This compound is responsible for the spiciness of the pods, promotes circulation and is also a proven deterrent against infections. Fiery jalapeño peppers from Hombre are available in different types of packaging - tins, screw top jars and serving packs. Special nacho equipment, such as stainless steel jalapeño coolers, guarantees hygienic storage.


I'm generally a fan of Dru's books/articles and of O'Reilly's various Hacks books. But this is a notch above the rest with a lot of practical tips.
Some simple, but highly useful CLI navigation tips for tcsh (which, incidentally also happened to apply to bash).
Creative ways to use grep and find.
Using mtree (part of the FBSD base system) as part of a HIDS deployment.
The very handy g4u cloning application.
Some of the hacks may be a bit dated as of this writing. But still a very cool book, and worth the (modest) price.

Before you hire a wedding photographer you need to ask them a crazy long list of questions that include major gems like, "do you take shot lists?" "What kind of colour correction do you use?" "Is it an extra cost to have you photoshop out the Emergency Exit sign?" "Is it actually you or do you send an assistant" "What's your favourite part of a wedding?"
If you need more guidance here's some of the lists I read before meeting with our photographers- here's one from The Knot here's the one from my girl Martha Stewart here's from A Practical Guide here's Real Simple.
All very helpful, real + practical lists full of great questions to ask. The lists are fairly interchangeable. And in all honesty a professional photographer will basically have one of these lists too and will go through it with you when you get there, telling you all about their packages + turnaround times + show you a few complete wedding albums + then you just spend the rest of the time talking about beer [or wine or soda or whatever it is you're into drinking] + how you met + then you see how often they laugh at your jokes + vice versa. You need all that information. Yes, yes you do.
how will you treat the diverse group of people I love?
how do you feel about shooting a super hippy weirdo ceremony?
Kyle + I are basically the definition of what a white, blue-eyed, tall, middle-class, able-bodied heterosexual couple is "supposed" to look like. When people meet us they often make a lot of assumptions about who we are + how we exist in the world, and usually those are "nice" things. We face the world as two very privileged people, and when we walk into a room we really aren't at risk of people throwing hate-speech at us, and of our photographers getting up and walking away, or refusing us service, or being just not as excited as maybe they should be. Because that's how we exist in the world, it means that even though we pride ourselves on being wonderful allies to our friends + family who are not as wildly privileged as we are, we sometimes forget about them + some of the prejudices they face every day + default into not being good allies.
We are so sorry dear friends.
We don't mean to forget about you!
So for those of you beautiful souled yet wildly, [or even somewhat privileged] heterosexual betrothed out there, here's my important advice on how to be a better ally than I was.
Check your privilege and remember all the ways it's important to you to include your loved ones.
Our guests include LGBTQ+ folks, and our guests have diverse cultures, abilities, and races. Do you have experience shooting diverse weddings?
and if not, how do you feel about // how will you be including these folks in your photographs?
"I want to get married in a circle + walk down the sidewalk with welders in the background, are you going to be cool shooting that? Does it freak you out or excite you?"
"how do you feel about shooting [insert culture, religious, or whatever] type of ceremonies?"

Arizona State University Wins Women's Collegiate Triathlon East Regional Qualifier in Sarasota
By USA Triathlon | Oct. 08, 2017, 6:53 a.m. (ET)
SARASOTA, Florida — Arizona State University earned its second team victory of the varsity women's collegiate triathlon qualifying season on Saturday, taking top honors at the East Regional Qualifier held at Nathan Benderson Park. The race served as the final opportunity for teams and individuals to earn berths to the Women's Collegiate National Championship, set for Nov. 5 in Tempe, Arizona.
The competition was held in a duathlon (run-bike-run) format after algae levels in the lake due to recent weather conditions forced a cancellation of the swim leg. Athletes completed a 2.5-kilometer run, draft-legal 18.3-kilometer bike and 5-kilometer run. Forty-five athletes hit the start line in total, representing 15 different universities.
The first athlete across the line was Jocelyn Bonney (Long Beach, Calif.) in 1 hour, 4 minutes, 22 seconds. Emily Cameron of the University of Georgia finished second to Bonney in 1:04:33, but was declared the race champion due to Bonney's ineligibility for awards as an athlete racing unattached. Cameron also earned the Division I individual title.
Queens University of Charlotte's Caitlin Roper earned the Division II individual title with a time of 1:05:46, and Trine University's Hannah Blystone was the Division III individual champion in 1:11:05.
Though racing unattached on Saturday, Bonney was enthusiastic about the progress of the varsity women's triathlon movement.
"Every single year these races grow and get more competitive, and it's so much more fun," Bonney said. "Now we have this giant field with a whole bunch of world-class athletes, and it's just amazing. There are great race opportunities now in the United States, close by, and with really high-level competition. It's irreplaceable."
ASU took home the team title, less than a month before the squad races on home turf at Nationals. The Sun Devils' effort was led by Kyla Roy, who was second overall (third across the line behind Bonney and Cameron) in 1:04:47. Sarah Quintero and Rebecca Naughton also raced for ASU, placing fourth and sixth as individuals.
Queens University of Charlotte took the team runner-up spot, with Roper (3rd), Phelan Purnell (8th) and Caroline Condon (9th) scoring for the team. East Tennessee State University was third as a team, led by Morgan James (11th), Sarah Zimmer (12th) and Annika Cotner (15th).
Roy, who was the first finisher from a varsity program in Saturday's race, said the ASU squad came to Sarasota prepared to race in the near-90-degree heat.
"In Arizona it's also very hot, even if it's not as humid," Roy said. "We just use cooling techniques and remember to drink lots of water."
A freshman at ASU, Roy said competing on the triathlon team has been a highlight of her first year as a Sun Devil.
"Our team is like a family," Roy said. "We train together every day, and we see each other outside of training too. It's awesome."
Saturday's East Regional Qualifier was the third and final regional race of the season, as collegiate athletes now look ahead to Nationals on Nov. 5 in Tempe. ASU was also victorious at the Central Regional Qualifier, held in Naperville, Illinois, on Sept. 4.
The University of California at Berkeley took top honors at the West Regional Qualifier, held on the Golden Bears' home turf in Berkeley on Sept. 30.
Triathlon was approved as an NCAA Emerging Sport for Women in January of 2014, enabling collegiate women to compete as varsity student-athletes and race in a competitive draft-legal format.

We need mass action over severe climate threat
Published Tue 10 Sep 2019
School climate strikers and others in London in July (Pic: Guy Smallman)
Earth is careering towards climate change so severe that there will be an "irrefutable toll on human life".
That's the finding of a new report by the Global Commission on Adaptation (GCA).
The report—involving 18 countries including Britain—called for £1.46 trillion investments in five key areas.
It said this would help people—many of them the poorest in the world—to cope with extreme weather, rising sea levels and higher temperatures.
Key recommendations include early warning systems, protecting mangrove forests, climate-resilient infrastructure, drought-resistant crops, and investment in water resources.
It said a "revolution" in understanding, planning and finance was urgently needed before the COP26 climate talks in December 2020.
"We must apply these revolutions to the key economic systems affected by climate change," it continued. The report comes ahead of the 20 September strike for the climate (see pages 10&11) and Extinction Rebellion's International Rebellion from 7 October.
These mobilisations are set to see tens of thousands take to the streets to demand urgent action.
The GCA blasted politicians' lack of "political will" to tackle climate catastrophe.
A bigger movement involving a mass of people can win the change we need.

Takoradi woman faked pregnancy due to fear of informing husband of 4-month miscarriage
The revelations that have emerged following the resurfacing of Josephine Panyin Mensah Simons, the said pregnant woman who was allegedly kidnapped in Takoradi, has sparked controversy nationwide.
When she was found in Axim, several miles away from Takoradi where she disappeared, she was mute, unkempt and without any sign of the said pregnancy.
Josephine, who has now been officially arrested and detained, told the police and medical officials that she delivered on the same day she was allegedly kidnapped and the baby taken away by the kidnappers.
But two separate medical examinations disputed her claims, revealing that she was never pregnant and does not show signs of having given birth.
After she was confronted with the reality and the implications of her actions, Josephine confessed to a team of medical and investigation officers at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital that her pregnancy and kidnapping story was a hoax.
But why would a sane woman deceive security officers and the entire country with such a serious issue like kidnap?
Here's the breakdown
According to a MyNewsGh.com report, Josephine was indeed at one pregnant for her husband but lost the baby 4 months into the pregnancy due to miscarriage.
She reportedly told investigators that before the miscarriage her husband Michael Simons was always at his happiest and treated her so well.
However, she felt that losing the pregnancy could be the end of the good treatment from her husband and hence came up with a plan, with the assistance of her mother, to keep deceiving her husband until the 9th month when she was due.
Without any means of reproducing a baby after 9 months, she faked her kidnapping to create the impression her kidnappers were ritualists who took away her new baby.
But her innocent, loving and caring husband, who did not know her pregnancy ended in the fourth month, went to the police to lodge a formal complaint that led to the frantic search of her whereabouts.
Josephine reportedly confessed to the investigating team that the main reason for her actions was because she found it difficult to inform the husband about her miscarriage and subsequently bought a silicone belly to seem the pregnancy was intact.
The mother, Agnes Essel, who was detained in police cells on Thursday and released on Friday evening, was aware of the plan the whole time.
Josephine has since asked for forgiveness from her husband Michael Simons who appears to be innocent and in a state of shock.

The earth-friendly Motorola Renew is made from recycled water bottles.
Last year at CES Motorola dazzled us with a couple of high-end multimedia cell phones. One of them, the Rokr E8, impressed us so much that it won CNET's Best of CES award in the cell phones category. This year, however, Moto is taking a more comprehensive approach with three cell phones that range from simple to complex.
On the simple side, Motorola presents the Renew W233. Its story lies not in what it offers--features are minimal--but in what it is. The Renew is made entirely of recycled water bottles (at least the plastic parts). Moto is calling it the world's first carbon neutral phone--that puts it beyond the Nokia 3110, which is made from 50 percent recycled material. The packaging is also Earth-friendly. Not only does the Renew use 22 percent less packaging, but the packaging that it does use comes from recycled paper and the ink on the manual is soy-based. Moto is also promising that the Renew will use less energy with a promised talk time of nine hours.
Features include support for CrystalTalk feature, a VGA camera, organizer features, and a music player. The Renew will arrive at T-Mobile in the first quarter of this year.


The Lok Sabha election is likely to be clean and green in Kerala, with the high court banning the use of all non-biodegradable materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flex boards for the election campaign. The Election Commission has also assured the court that it will ensure that political parties adhere to its directive.
The ban order has been issued by a bench of Chief Justice Hrishikesh Roy and AK Jayasankar Nambiar on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a Thiruvananthapuram native.
In his petition, BS Syam Kumar pointed out that the use of these materials violates "the Environmental Protection Act, 1986 as well as Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016, not to mention the violation of rights of citizens, under Articles 21 and 48A of the Constitution of India, for a clean and safe environment.'' Hence, he pleaded for the ban.
Syam Kumar has in particular mentioned the PVC flex boards. "The use of such PVC flex boards is a key source of pollutants in the forthcoming election, by the political parties/candidates," he has said.
The petitioner has also drawn the attention of the court to the series of orders passed by Justice Devan Ramachandran of the high court on a bunch of petitions filed by individuals and organisations for the removal of PVC flex boards put up across the state by local authorities.
Taking all these into consideration, the bench has ordered: "All candidates and the National/State Political Parties must strictly adhere to the guideline of the Election Commission, so that only the eco-friendly materials are used during the election campaign and there is no use of PVC flex boards and no other such non-biodegradable materials as campaign materials, in the State of Kerala."
State Chief Election Officer Teeka Ram Meena has swung into action to enforce the Election Commission's green protocol backed by the high court.
Meena said that at the meeting of political parties called by him to discuss the election code of conduct, he told them that the materials banned by the court should not be used for campaigning. He warned strong action against those who would violate the protocol.
As follow-up action, he wrote to all the district collectors, who are district electoral officers, to deploy special squads in the field to monitor whether the political parties follow the court directive.
"On a single day operation alone, we have removed 31,000 flex boards, posters, flags and such other campaign materials made of the single-use plastic from Thrissur district and 8,000 materials form Ernakulam district. They have been handed over to local bodies and (Kerala) Suchitwa Mission for disposal. We are getting compliance reports daily form the district collectors. The public is also very watchful. They too feed us on the violation,'' Meena, a no-nonsense IAS officer known for unbiased-implementation of laws, said.
"In the coming days, we will further strengthen the crackdown and reach even the farthest corners of the state,'' Meena added.
Local self-governments in the state have to bear the brunt of the high court order because it will further add to their burden of disposing plastic waste. A Kerala Suchitwa Mission study estimates that presently, the state generates 480 tonnes of plastic waste daily.
Local self-governments are struggling to get rid of such a massive quantity of waste for want of proper systems. They are able to collect only a very small portion of it and that will be discarded at their waste dumping yards. While the amount of plastic waste is growing menacingly at all waste dumping yards in the state with the accumulation of daily feed, the uncollected portion is posing a grave threat to open spaces. In fact, all water bodies and land areas are carpeted with plastic waste, the secretary of a city corporation said on condition of anonymity.
"At present, the government-owned Clean Kerala Company is the only agency that collects the plastic waste from local bodies. The company sends the waste to a firm in Tamil Nadu for recycling. Some local bodies in association with Suchitwa Mission have set up plastic shredder units. Since they are able to handle only a very small quantity of the daily generated waste, these steps do not ease the menace,'' he said.
Against this backdrop, he said, disposing of the plastic materials seized by the Election Commission, though a minuscule quantity compared to the daily generation, will further fuel the local bodies' trouble.
Though this move will escalate their campaign cost, political parties and candidates believe that it is a very sensible move, especially when the state has been facing serious threat form the monstrously growing plastic waste.
"Plastic menace is a reality in Kerala and everybody should support the move to make the state free of it," said Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Mullappally Ramachandran.
Left parties too echo the view of the Congress. "It is a move to save our state and we should appreciate it," said CPI state president Kanam Rajendran.
Since the court order had come before the election was officially announced, candidates have not ordered campaign materials made of the court-banned single-use plastic. "We welcome the move. Luckily, it had come before the campaign was officially kicked off. We have decided to switch over to eco-friendly campaign materials like cloth and paper. It will push our cost up by 20-30 percent,'' said Praveen, the campaign manager of Shashi Tharoor, Congress candidate in Thiruvananthapuram.
He is of the view that Kerala should follow suit of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, where relatively lesser money is spent for the campaign.
Congress leader and former MLA AA Shukoor, the campaign manager of a former union minister and Congress candidate in Mavelikara Kodikunnil Suresh, said that of the total election cost of a candidate, 40 percent goes in campaigning. But the present court order will further raise the campaign cost.
"We have decided to reduce the number of campaign materials made of costly eco-friendly things. So that we can confine our campaign cost at an advisable limit of 40 percent of the total election cost,'' Shukoor said.
Political leaders confided that a candidate of a mainstream political party spends Rs 10-15 crore in Lok Sabha election in Kerala. "For cash-strapped Congress candidates, it would be impossible to shell out Rs 4–6 crore for campaign this time,'' said a party leader.
But flex printers in the state claim that the flex materials contain only five percent PVC and materials containing more PVC are not banned in the state. They say that the court order is very unfortunate.
Jerry of Jerry Colour Printers, Kochi, said that eco-friendly flex materials cost double the amount of the plastic ones and printing clarity is also not good. He said that so far, no printers in the state have received orders from candidates.
But people in general have heaved a sigh of relief. They expect the order to bring a little relief to Kerala, which is chocked with non-biodegradable waste.

Q: Should the CPU usage go up to 100% when swap happens on Linux I had been running a demo system on Linux with the following kernel:

2.6.32-400.1.1.el5uek #1 SMP Mon Jun 25 20:25:08 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And as soon as swap happens, the CPU usage on the system goes up to almost 100% busy, among which around 90% is sys CPU usage. I was told that it's expected because the Linux page daemon  kicks in and starts writing the memory chunk to swap only when running out of memory(or, free memory is less than 0.5G), which results in a lot of sys CPU usage. "swappiness" is 60 on the system.
Is it expected behavior that the CPU usage goes to 100% when swap happens on Linux?
The reason why I had the above question is, the above behavior has changed when I migrate the demo to another system with the following Linux kernel:

2.6.39-400.128.14.el5uek #1 SMP Sat May 10 00:06:52 PDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The only difference of the vm parameter on the migrated system I noticed is the min_free_kbytes parameter, changed to 524288 on the migrated system vs 51200 in the pre-migrated system.
On the migrated system, when the free memory reaches less than 1.5G, swap happens, then the CPU usage goes up a little bit, something like from 30% to 40%, and the application performance got erratic only for a short period and then everything goes back to normal as before swap happens.
What makes the migrated system behave so different, that CPU usage won't go up to 100% busy when swap happens?
It's a very important demo system and the explanation of the above two questions will be very useful. Any ideas will be very much appreciated.

Boat carrying Dominican migrants capsizes
Dec. 4, 2004, 2:58 AM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
A boat carrying at least 91 Dominican migrants apparently trying to reach Puerto Rico illegally capsized Friday, killing eight people, officials said.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued 83 people and found eight bodies after the 40-foot boat overturned Friday morning in rough seas off northern Puerto Rico, said Lt. Eric Willis, a Coast Guard spokesman. Authorities were still searching for possible survivors.
A police boat first spotted the migrants and notified the Coast Guard hours before the boat capsized, said Julio Pantoja, the chief of Forces United for Rapid Action, a Puerto Rican special police force. He said the migrants turned back after seeing the police, who were unable to pursue because of the stormy seas.
Willis said the boat capsized after it was spotted by a Coast Guard plane and tried to circle back and make a second attempt to reach land. Two Coast Guard cutters and a helicopter were sent to the scene and managed to rescue most of those on board, he said.
The number of migrants trying to reach the U.S. Caribbean territory has surged over the last two years, with most coming from the Dominican Republic. Dozens have died trying to make the perilous journey.
Last month, at least 12 Dominicans died and six were missing and presumed dead after their boat overturned. In fiscal year 2004, which ended Oct. 1, at least 110 migrants died trying to reach Puerto Rico.

Baynton West Primary School is a purpose built Independent Public School built in 2013 in a new suburb of Karratha in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The school is a focal point for the community whereby a large playground and community oval has dual use by the Shire and the school.
The project created unique challenges associated with the geographical location scope and involved landscape design, irrigation consultancy and contract management. The landscape design included site specific drainage solutions required for cyclone regions and the development of an environmentally sustainable dual feed irrigation system combining scheme and Re-use water and sustainability initiatives.

Wal-Mart has rolled out self-service kiosks for customer's online orders called the Pickup towers. In fact, this isn't the first kiosk to appear was last year in Arkansas. But now, Wal-Mart is expanding this service to benefit all. Currently, Wal-Mart has about 20 kiosks and intends to add about 80 more. This will spread across the country and will be fully functional in the coming months.
If you ever spot one of these Pickup Towers, it will in fact amaze you. The Pickup Towers are massive structures to even be called as kiosks! They are tall standing structures of 16 feet tall and 8 feet wide in dimensions. Wal-Mart has placed these towers right at the entrances to its store. This is to get everyone's attention and lure them to use it often.
It is not just the size that makes it a giant. Another reason is that it holds tons of packages inside it. And it is definitely more versatile than the pickup lockers that Wal-Mart had introduced and tested. But the size of these lockers and compartments where packages were kept were unsatisfactory.
The Pickup Towers are indeed a much needed service for the customers who order online. You only need to scan your barcode on the purchase receipt and within 45 seconds you get your goods. The door to this massive structure opens and all your items appear on a conveyer belt.
Based on the customer feedback, Wal-Mart is aiming to roll out more of these Pickup Towers. "Our Pickup Towers are the latest example of how we're using new technology to save our customers time in addition to money. We're continuing to listen to our customers and will use their feedback to determine the future expansion of the Pickup Tower," said Wal-Mart spokesperson, Justin Rushing.

St Aidan (- 651)
Aidan, a native of Ireland, was a monk on Iona. When the Christian King Oswald returned from exile on Iona to his kingdom of Northumbria, he invited the monks of Iona to provide missionaries to instruct his people in Christianity. After initial difficulties, Aidan was consecrated bishop and sent with a group of Irish monks to begin this task.
He established a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne which became the centre of a major missionary effort in the North of England. The monastery also became a valuable centre of learning and an important training ground for the education of English boys who would continue the work of evangelisation.
From Lindisfarne Aidan journeyed throughout Northumberland, usually on foot, and working closely with King Oswald who found him to be a wise adviser and a good personal friend. After Oswald's death in 642, Aidan continued this work under his successor, Oswin, but when Oswin himself was killed nine years later, Aidan did not long survive him and died two weeks later in 651.
According to Bede, Aidan was a man of great gentleness and moderation, outstanding for his energetic missionary work. His influence on the North of England was enormous, and his wise promotion of Christian education among the native English laid the solid foundation for the spread of the Gospel in the centuries which followed his death.

Saturday memorials of the Blessed Virgin Mary
'On Saturdays in Ordinary Time when there is no obligatory memorial, an optional memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary is allowed.
'Saturdays stand out among those days dedicated to the Virgin Mary. These are designated as memorials of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This memorial derives from Carolingian times (9th century), but the reasons for having chosen Saturday for its observance are unknown. While many explanations of this choice have been advanced, none is completely satisfactory from the point of view of the history of popular piety.
'Whatever its historical origins may be, today the memorial rightly emphasizes certain values to which contemporary spirituality is more sensitive. It is a remembrance of the maternal example and discipleship of the Blessed Virgin Mary who, strengthened by faith and hope, on that "great Saturday" on which Our Lord lay in the tomb, was the only one of the disciples to hold vigil in expectation of the Lord's resurrection. It is a prelude and introduction to the celebration of Sunday, the weekly memorial of the Resurrection of Christ. It is a sign that the Virgin Mary is continuously present and operative in the life of the Church.'
Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy (2001), §188
About the author of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings:
Second Reading: St John Chrysostom (349 - 407)
John was born in Antioch. After a thorough education, he took up the ascetic life. He was ordained to the priesthood, and became a fruitful and effective preacher.
He was elected Patriarch of Constantinople in 397, and was energetic in reforming the ways of the clergy and the laity alike. He incurred the displeasure of the Emperor and was twice forced into exile. When the second exile, to Armenia, had lasted three years, it was decided that he should be sent still further away, but he died on the journey, worn out by his hardships.
His sermons and writings did much to explain the Catholic faith and to encourage the living of the Christian life: his eloquence earned him the surname "Chrystostom" (the Greek for "golden mouth").
Liturgical colour: green
The theological virtue of hope is symbolized by the colour green, just as the burning fire of love is symbolized by red. Green is the colour of growing things, and hope, like them, is always new and always fresh. Liturgically, green is the colour of Ordinary Time, the season in which we are being neither especially penitent (in purple) nor overwhelmingly joyful (in white).

The Nithya Yoga Calculator will provide you knowledge about the appropriate yoga for your place of birth. This will use the necessary calculations to discover the precise and appropriate placement for you.
The Jyotish astrology reading will give you much useful information and will allow you to move forward more easily in your life as you will be aware of some of the skills that should be native to you. It is always beneficial to work toward strengths.
Within the framework of Vedic astrology, the yoga when you were born is indicative of your talents and your disposition. Being aware of Nithya Yoga can make clear your full nature as a person.
In 2014, the more we know about ourselves, the easier it is to function within our current rather harsh society. It seems that it is necessary at all times to put one's best foot forward, and self-knowledge helps in doing this.
If you know you were short tempered then you know that you should be careful not to lose your temper. If you know you are hyperactive, you know that you should not get too sentimental at the wrong time. So it can be helpful in your functioning in day-to-day life.
The Nithya Yoga reading gives one, data about the governing yoga at your time of birth. The Nithya Yoga for an individual born October 1, 1955 is Virdhi. This means that the yoga is vriddha, which means growth.
Life gets better as one gets older. A native under this grouping will be bright, resourceful and discriminating. The next element given in this reading is the Nakshatra details. For this person it is Uttara Bhadrapada. This is quiet and the zodiac from 3° 20 inches to 16° 40 inches. "Warrior Star" is the name for this star and it is also called "Gama Pegasi".
This Yoga is ruled by Saturn, and leads to progression and affluence. As you can see when you do a Nithya Yoga reading, you get a great deal of information about the individual, and how they are ruled in astrological terms.
The actual calculation to determine the Nithya Yoga is dependent on the longitudes of both sun and moon. The calculation adds together the longitude of the sun and moon which is then divided by 13° and 20 minutes. This represents the various divisions of the zodiac under Vedic astrology.
For each of the Nithya Yoga, the individuals born in that yoga will have specific personality characteristics. As an example, those in the first yoga are interested in the occult, while those in the second Nithya Yoga would be addicted to work.
So you can see that the Nithya Yoga Calculator could be a very helpful tool in knowing your best skills and avoiding those things that you cannot do well.


The magnificent wrought-iron hall that houses the Museum of Childhood is a paradise for kids. The ground floor is occupied by a buzzy café and a museum shop, with the upper floors rising in open tiers around it. There are plenty of conventional displays in glass cases, the most appealing of which are the huge Georgian and Victorian dolls houses; and there are toys and dolls from other cultures too. But what kids will probably like best is the more hands-on stuff – there's a sandpit, a fenced play area for under 3s, plus raucous Punch & Judy shows and tables for drawing. There are also little tables for board games, where you often see kids absorbed in a game of draughts or snakes and ladders. Changing exhibitions of fairy tales, photography and the arts provide scholarly interest too.

Adam Gase haunted by biggest Jets failure: 'Pisses me off'

Jets hunt to upgrade this position begins with Senior Bowl
How Tom Brady's retirement affects crowded quarterback market
Aaron Rodgers gushes about new Jets coordinator as rumors swirl
Adam Gase can't bring himself to check the Jets' offensive rankings.
"There's no point at looking at them," the beleaguered coach said Wednesday. "I know where we're at. It's not good. We had way too many games where we were just so unproductive."
The Jets enter what is surely Gase's final game as the coach ranked No. 32 in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense. It is the second straight season under Gase that the Jets could finish dead last in total offense. They are averaging 275.3 yards and 15.3 points per game entering Sunday's finale with the Patriots.
Gase made his reputation in the NFL coaching offense. He oversaw the historic 2013 Broncos offense, which broke numerous NFL records. The Jets hired him two years ago in part because they believed he could develop quarterback Sam Darnold and jump-start the offense. Instead, the offense has sputtered.
The Jets have gone 20 straight games without gaining 400 yards of offense, the longest active streak in the NFL. They have had four games this season where they did not score a touchdown and have not scored more than 28 points in a game this year.
Adam Gase
Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
The Jets are expected to fire Gase after Sunday's game with the Patriots. After starting 0-13 this year, Gase's crew has won its past two games, but even a three-game winning streak will not be enough to save his job. Gase was asked Wednesday if he worries the struggles on offense have damaged his reputation around the NFL.
"I don't know if worry is really the right word," Gase said. "It's just … I mean it pisses me off. If there's one side of the ball I want to make sure is right, it's that one. It has not happened and that's on me."
This is not entirely Gase's fault. Darnold has not played well at all this season. The Jets were without their projected starting wide receivers for the first half of the season. They have gone through eight different starting offensive line combinations. The signing of running back Le'Veon Bell in 2019 by former GM Mike Maccagnan was an unmitigated disaster that blew up in Gase's face and led to the team cutting Bell in October.
Even with those factors, Gase has lacked solutions too often, and he will pay with his job. Gase did say Wednesday that a WFAN report that he has already been told he is being fired was incorrect.
"That was news to me," Gase said. "No one has said that to me."
Gase said he is not focusing on his job status even with all of the speculation swirling.
"I learned probably when I was 22 years old, Nick Saban told me you do your job until somebody tells you different," Gase said. "That's what I'm going to be focused on. My job is to get us ready to go this Sunday and try to win a game."
Adam Gase: Being told I was fired is 'news to me'
Gase has gotten used to people asking about his job.
"That's what it is," Gase said. "I've been here two years, and I think that started about Week 6 last year."
The Jets have played more efficient football lately, but it is hard to make up for the games early in the season when they were completely unproductive. They have failed to crack 300 total yards in 11 of their 15 games this season.
"I feel like we've done some things better in the last month or so," Gase said. "We still had that Seattle game where we were just inept, couldn't do anything. It's those games where you just have absolutely nothing, no yards, no points, no third-down [conversions], red-zone percentage is crap. You have more than like two or three of those, it's just going to be bad."

U.S. worker productivity fell for the third straight quarter in the spring this year, suggesting that corporate profits may continue to decline and wage growth may remain sluggish.
The Labor Department said on Tuesday that productivity, which measures hourly output per worker, dropped at a 0.5 percent annual rate in the April-June period, extending the longest decline since 1979. Productivity fell at an unrevised 0.6 percent rate in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, productivity decreased at a 0.4 percent rate compared to the same period last year, the fastest year-on-year pace of decline in three years.
Revisions to data going back to 2013 also confirmed the softening productivity trend, but strong employment gains have helped to raise output overall with U.S. payrolls growing by more than 500,000 jobs in June and July.
"The reason the economy has still been able to expand is because of labor input. Firms are hiring people at a reasonably healthy rate," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief economist at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York.
"However, we do not believe this can last, because strong hiring in the face of weak productivity necessarily implies a further deterioration in corporate profit margins."
After rising rapidly in the 1990s as computers made workers more efficient, productivity has fallen as companies have been reluctant to invest in new equipment in the past 18 months given the outlook for sluggish economic growth globally.
In the long run higher incomes and rising living standards depend on rising productivity though. The U.S. economy expanded at an annual pace of only 1.0 percent during the first six months of this year, roughly half the average of the past seven years.
U.S. stock prices were little changed at Tuesday's close, near record highs set recently, as investors shrugged off the productivity data, while U.S. Treasury yields edged lower as lower productivity suggests inflation may remain subdued.
Corporate profits declined 5.3 percent in 2015 partly due to the lagging impact of a strong U.S. dollar and lower oil prices, before seeing an 8.1 percent rebound in the first quarter 2016 according to government data. Corporate profits data for the second quarter will be published later this month.
The Commerce Department reported last month that gross domestic product rose at a 1.2 percent annual rate in the second quarter following a 0.8 percent rise in the first quarter.
The estimate for second-quarter GDP growth could be revised slightly up after a separate report from the Commerce Department on Tuesday showed wholesale inventories increased 0.3 percent in June. The government had previously reported wholesale inventories as being unchanged in June.
Productivity has increased at an annual rate of less than 1.0 percent in each of the last five years, suggesting the economy's potential rate of growth has declined, but some economists have questioned whether it is being accurately measured.
"Innovations are everywhere, in cancer research, iPhone apps, Olympic sports training, cloud computing - they are just not showing up in the GDP accounts," said Patrick Newport, a U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts.
"Are we just about running in place or is the radar that measures growth malfunctioning? It's both. Productivity growth is understated. Economists are just unsure by how much."
Unit labor costs, the price of labor per single unit of output, increased at a 2.0 percent pace in the second quarter. Second-quarter unit labor costs rose at a 2.1 percent rate compared to the same period of 2015.
First-quarter unit labor costs were revised to show a 0.2 percent rate of decrease, instead of the previously reported 4.5 percent increase.
Hourly compensation per hour rose at a 1.5 percent rate in the second quarter after falling at a 0.8 percent pace in the prior quarter.
"Labor compensation growth that outpaces productivity growth must either be passed through into faster price increases or squeeze profit margins," said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York.
