Black portraits get new names, and a new show
Gyn Philpot [1884 – 1937), Balthazar, 1929, oil on canvas, Private collection© Private Collection/Bridgeman Images.
by Precious Adesina
LONDON.- In the early 20th century, Glyn Philpot was one of Britain's most respected portrait painters. The artist was known for depicting high-society sitters in a style mimicking the old masters, so his works sat comfortably on the walls of his clients' country homes alongside generations of their family members.
"All the papers are raving about P. now. Have you seen?" Philpot's friend Gladys Miles wrote to art historian Randall Davies in 1910. "Everyone is rushing to be painted like sheep."
By the 1930s, though, not only had Philpot's painting style become more modernist, incorporating abstracted backgrounds and a lighter color palette, he was also painting sensitive portraits of Black people, some of which, unusually for the time, were shown at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
Philpot's most frequent Black subject was Henry Thomas, a Jamaican man who met the painter in 1929 and became his servant and muse until Philpot died in 1937. In "Balthazar," painted the year they met, Philpot imagined Thomas as one of the Bible's wise men. In tasteful studies of Thomas himself, Philpot carefully depicted the textures, shades and contours of Thomas' hair and skin.
Several Thomas portraits, alongside other paintings of Black sitters, are part of "Glyn Philpot: Flesh and Spirit," on view until October at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester, England. The show is the first major retrospective of Philpot's paintings in almost 40 years and arrives at a time when his work has new resonance.
In the gallery, the pieces are generally displayed chronologically, from the printed books Philpot made as a student at the turn of the century to his final works from 1937. Among the paintings of aristocrats and socialites that made his career, his dignified and varied portraits of Black sitters stood out.
But when it came to putting the exhibition together, Simon Martin, its curator and director of the museum, felt some of the paintings' original names were outdated, he said.
In Philpot's time, "a lot of those works were just called 'Head of a Negro,'" Martin said. "On the spectrum of titles, it's probably on the more acceptable side" for the early 20th century, he added. "But in 2022, if we are able to, and can put effort into, finding out who those people are and where they came from, I think we should," Martin said.
To do this, he worked with a team of advisers, including Alayo Akinkugbe, who founded the Instagram account ABlackHistoryOfArt; British opera singer and broadcaster Peter Brathwaite; and Michael Hatt, who teaches art history at the University of Warwick. Where possible, they retitled Philpot's paintings to include the model's name and place of birth, and avoid mention of the sitter's race.
It's not the first time portraits' names have been reworked to provide more information about their Black subjects. For a 2019 exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, works by Manet, Picasso and Cézanne were retitled to include the names of the Black models.

The original title of a 1778 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle and her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray by David Martin only referred to the white British aristocrat Lady Elizabeth. Until the 1990s, it was assumed that Dido, who was Black, was a slave or companion, until research revealed the pair were related and had comparable upbringings in British aristocracy (the painting inspired the 2014 film "Belle").
Organizations like the National Trust, a British heritage conservation charity, have also started reexamining how the artworks in their large collections frame Black people. "It is important we don't erase the original language, as this sheds light on historical viewpoints, but we have sensitively updated the information around some of the artworks," a spokesperson for the National Trust said via email. Eighteenth-century portrait "A Young Coachman" at Erddig, a National Trust property in north Wales, for example, now includes information on who the Black man in the painting might be.
The National Trust's ongoing efforts to recognize Britain's colonial past have been met with some pushback, and deciding whether to retitle artworks can be complex. "Some believe that changing the name could alter the intention of the artist," said Esi Edugyan, whose recent collection of essays, "Out Of The Sun: Essays at the Crossroads of Race," explores the relationship between Western art and Black people. "If the artist himself has chosen the name, then the intentionality of that gesture must be taken into account," she added.
Martin and his advisory team saw relabeling Philpot's works as appropriate, given that it's most likely auction houses at the time gave his paintings their generic titles, rather than the artist. "A name like 'Melancholy Negro' is not very telling," Akinkugbe said. "Even if Philpot had named it that, I don't think he would take issue with the social-political context that we're in now meaning that we rename it."
Martin said that Philpot's experiences as a gay man, at a time when sexual activity between men was a criminal offense in Britain, would have given the artist a sense of affinity with his Black sitters. "Even though he does everything he can to fit in and to be part of society, there's always the sense that somehow he doesn't," Martin said.
Even so, there was a deeply uneven power dynamic between Philpot's social standing and a number of his Black subjects, especially in the case of Thomas, his servant. But the care with which he depicted Black people still contrasted with some of his peers' approaches. Martin compared his work with French artist Paul Colin, known for his art deco poster illustrations around the same time.
"You look at some of those depictions of Josephine Baker, for example, and they're verging on the caricature at times," Martin said. Baker, who became one of Europe's most popular performers in the 1920s, was often depicted by Colin as topless, with stereotypically large red lips. "This is not something you ever get in Philpot's work," Martin added.
In recent years, exhibitions, podcasts and researchers have explored how Black people are portrayed in European art. Although this has been especially notable since the "moment of reckoning" of George Floyd's murder in 2020, Edugyan said, "among artists, whose chief subject is representation — literally, how something is depicted and seen — discussions about Black visibility have perhaps always turned an eye toward the larger picture, to the shifting perceptions of Blackness across the ages."
When Philpot began painting more Black and working-class subjects in a modernist style, many in the art world were confused and even affronted. "Glyn Philpot 'goes Picasso,'" The Scotsman newspaper wrote in 1932 after one of his new paintings was unveiled at the Royal Academy.
But viewed today, Philpot's portraits speak to current discussions around representation in art and show a depth of feeling that endures a century later.

Friends For Life My Biggest Takeaway From 'Golmaal Again': Parineeti
By: IANS | October 7, 2017
Actress Parineeti Chopra, who joined the "Golmaal" team for the fourth instalment of the blockbuster franchise, says that friends for life is what she has taken away from "Golmaal Again".
Parineeti and the "Golmaal" team got together for a discussion at the Jio MAMI Movie Mela here on Saturday.
Asked about her experience as the new group member, Parineeti said: "First, I was completely star-struck by these guys. There was this bond between them and they understood each other. They knew exactly what to do. On the other hand, I thought that I might just mess this up.
"I didn't know what to do. But within 10 mintues, I felt welcome and these people are so mad that I realized why I was cast for this film... because I am like them. I really found friends for life and that is my biggest takeaway from the film."
The "Ishaqzaade" actress says she always thought comedy was an easier genre, but she was proven wrong after working on "Golmaal Again", helmed by Rohit Shetty.
"When I used to watch these films, I used to feel comedy is easier. They are just doing comedy, it's just making people laugh. And dramatic scenes are so much tougher to do. But after 'Golmaal', now as an actor, I feel those dramatic scenes are easier.
"But to do this kind of comedy and this kind of film, to speak in a language that keeps the whole country (entertained) is very tough. Now I have realized that as cliched as it sounds, but comedy is a serious business."
Parineeti was last seen on screen in "Meri Pyari Bindu" with Ayushmann Khurrana.
"Golmaal Again", scheduled to release this Diwali later this month, also features Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Kemmu and Tabu.

Your honeymoon should be a carefree week or more with your new spouse. And with these expert travel tips, sure to keep you and your belongings safe, it will be.
1. Carry local emergency contact information with you.
Having 911 on speed-dial won't help if you're traveling abroad for this big trip. So consider adding the phone numbers for the country's U.S. Embassy, local police stations, fire departments, medical centers, cab companies, and your hotel to your smartphone before you go, advises Aviva Samuels, destination wedding planner and owner of Kiss the Planner in Palm Beach, Florida. Not only that, but "write them down on paper as well, in case anything should happen to your cell phones," she advises.
2. Do not accept help from strangers.
After a long flight, it could be tempting to take any old way to your hotel, including hopping into an unidentified vehicle. "But try to have someone meet you at the airport or plan to take a cab or other transportation that is licensed, in a marked vehicle and with a driver who displays some sort of identification," says Daniel Arthur, president of Arthur & Associates Consulting. "Do not allow someone else to waive down a taxi or offer to give you a ride. Your money could get taken in a scam or even worse, you could get taken."
3. Keep your money separate.
Don't keep your cash in the same spot as your credit cards, traveler's checks, or any other form of payment, Samuels says. "In addition, be sure to keep different sums of money in different locations within your bags, wallet, or on your person," she advises. "By separating items and amounts of cash you will never be caught without anything at all, should something unfortunate occur. And of course, when leaving cash and credit cards behind at your hotel or guesthouse, be sure to use the hotel safe no matter how trustworthy the area, the venue, or its employees seem."
You don't have to go about your honeymoon in a state of constant paranoia. "But you should be aware of your surroundings and not be distracted," says Arthur. "This will help you avoid getting lost and you also won't look like a victim." On top of that, Arthur advises avoiding wearing flashy clothing and jewelry. "Try to blend in as best as possible," he says. "The last thing you want to do is find yourself in a bad area, looking down at your iPhone while wearing your expensive jewelry. That just screams, 'rob me.'"
5. Scan your important documents.
Even if you're staying stateside, "be sure to digitally scan all of your important documents as well as make hard copies of them," says Samuels. "Take one copied set of documents with you so that you will have the information at your fingertips and leave one set behind at home, just in case anything happens to the originals or the copies." Be extra safe, she says, by uploading your documents to the cloud, where "you will likely be able to access them wherever you are."
6. Stay on the third floor.
The best views may be from the penthouse, but if there's an emergency such as a fire, it can be difficult to escape to safety from a hotel's top floors, points out Arthur. "Most fire ladders won't reach above the seventh floor of a building," he says, "and in some countries, they extend even lower." At the same time, don't head for the first floor for ease of access. "Staying on the first or second floor can put you at risk of robbery since it's easier to access than higher floors," says Arthur.


Our extensively trained heating service personnel arrive at your home or office with all the electronic diagnostic equipment and standards parts we'll need to best service your comfort system. Such preparation improves our efficiency in servicing your furnace or heat pump.
The majority of people don't think about their furnace until its stops working. When that happens, it is important to have a professional come out and take a look to give you the best options possible for your situation, whether that be furnace repair or furnace replacement. There are cases where a simple furnace repair will be the best option to get you back on track; however, there are other instances where you may need a new furnace installation to solve your problems. Without the assistance of a trained professional, you may end up paying for costly furnace repairs that don't really solve any problems, but just buy you a few months of time before you have to replace the whole system.
A heat pump can be a great addition to a home in terms of efficiency and consumption. With the ability to replace both a furnace and air conditioner, heat pumps are a great option. Like furnaces and air conditioners though, heat pump installation is a very complex process that should be handled by HVAC certified professionals. In order to get the most from the unit, proper installation is very important, as are repairs and maintenance.

The name Tiger Shovelnose catfish is derived from the beautiful stripped pattern found on the body of the adult fish. This pattern will start showing when your Tiger Shovelnose catfish reach a size of approximately 6 inches (15 centimetres).
Catfish can be identified by their whisker-like barbels, which they use to locate food in dark waters. Catfish vary from small, peaceful species to larger, more predatory species. These scaleless bottom feeders eat a wide variety of foods, including algae, small fish, prepared foods and scavenged debris.
Pleco is a name used for a wide range of different catfishes in the family Loricariidae and it is therefore impossible to provide any pleco care guidelines that will be true for all sorts of plecos.
The Otocinclus catfish has many alternative names and is also known as the oto catfish, as well as the dwarf sucker and the otto fish. This genus of fish can most frequently be found in freshwater streams and cannot thrive in brackish or saltwater.

The IOth International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science, which took place in Florence in August 1995, offered a vivid and comprehensive picture of the present state of research in all directions of Logic and Philosophy of Science. The final program counted 51 invited lectures and around 700 contributed papers, distributed in 15 sections. Following the tradition of previous LMPS-meetings, some authors, whose papers aroused particular interest, were invited to submit their works for publication in a collection of selected contributed papers. Due to the large number of interesting contributions, it was decided to split the collection into two distinct volumes: one covering the areas of Logic, Foundations of Mathematics and Computer Science, the other focusing on the general Philosophy of Science and the Foundations of Physics. As a leading choice criterion for the present volume, we tried to combine papers containing relevant technical results in pure and applied logic with papers devoted to conceptual analyses, deeply rooted in advanced present-day research. After all, we believe this is part of the genuine spirit underlying the whole enterprise of LMPS studies.

Q: Stop sound in a react component My app is playing some audios depending on various triggers. I want the user to be able to stop the sound when he decides it.
this is what I did, based on this post:
  audioPlayer(sound){
      const audioGetReady = new Audio("...mp3")
      const audioTenSec = new Audio("...mp3");
      const audioNext = new AudioAudio("...mp3");
      const audioRest = new AudioAudio("...mp3")
      const audioCongrats = new AudioAudio("...mp3")

      if(sound == 'getReady'){
        audioGetReady.play()
      }
      if(sound == 'tenSeconds'){
        audioTenSec.play()
      }
      if(sound == 'next'){
        audioNext.play()
      }
      if(sound == 'rest'){
        audioRest.play()
      }
      if(sound == 'congrats'){
        audioCongrats.play()
      }
      if(sound == 'stop'){
        audioGetReady.pause();
        audioGetReady.currentTime = 0;
        audioTenSec.pause();
        audioTenSec.currentTime = 0;
        audioNext.pause();
        audioNext.currentTime = 0;
        audioRest.pause();
        audioRest.currentTime = 0;
        audioCongrats.pause();
        audioCongrats.currentTime = 0;
      }
    }

It doesn't work, I also tried to use ".muted = true;" as shown here

A: I think your code should be like below. In your code, every time you call audioPlayer function, new Audio object is created, which means the audio you start and pause are different.
  audioGetReady = new Audio("...mp3");
  audioTenSec = new Audio("...mp3");
  audioNext = new AudioAudio("...mp3");
  audioRest = new AudioAudio("...mp3");
  audioCongrats = new AudioAudio("...mp3");

  audioPlayer(sound){
    if(sound == 'getReady'){
      this.audioGetReady.play()
    }
    if(sound == 'tenSeconds'){
      this.audioTenSec.play()
    }
    if(sound == 'next'){
      this.audioNext.play()
    }
    if(sound == 'rest'){
      this.audioRest.play()
    }
    if(sound == 'congrats'){
      this.audioCongrats.play()
    }
    if(sound == 'stop'){
      this.audioGetReady.pause();
      this.audioGetReady.currentTime = 0;
      this.audioTenSec.pause();
      this.audioTenSec.currentTime = 0;
      this.audioNext.pause();
      this.audioNext.currentTime = 0;
      this.audioRest.pause();
      this.audioRest.currentTime = 0;
      this.audioCongrats.pause();
      this.audioCongrats.currentTime = 0;
    }
  }

Ричард Старки (; Ливерпул, 7. јул 1940), познатији као Ринго Стар (), је енглески музичар, певач и глумац, најпознатији као бубњар Битлса. На већини албума групе, певао је водеће вокале макар за једну песму, као што су With a Little Help from My Friends, Yellow Submarine и њихову насловну нумеру Act Naturally. Ожењен је други пут и има троје деце из првог брака. Дошао је у групу на наговор чувеног продуцента Џорџа Мартина (George Martin) као замена за Пита Беста (Pete Best), који је до тада свирао у групи. Тако је 1962. постао члан најславнијег састава у историји поп и рок музике у другој половини 20. века. Увек спреман за шалу и без комплекса на своју, помало инфериорну улогу у групи, постао је једнако запажен као и остали чланови. Данас предводи свој "Ол старс бенд" приређујући гала концерте са оркестром који чине познати поп и рок музичари, углавном по Америци. Издао је соло албум "Ливерпул 8" који је посветио свом кварту и детињству у родном граду.

Рани живот
Ричард Старки је рођен 7. јула 1940. у улици Мадрин 9 у Динглу, уже градске области Ливерпула. Он је једино дете посластичара Ричарда Старкија (1913–1981) и Елси Глив (1914–1987). Елси је уживала у певању и плесу, хобију који је делила са супругом, страственим љубитељем свинга. Пре рођења њиховог сина, којег су звали "Ричи", пар је проводио већи део свог слободног времена у локалним плесним дворанама, али су њихови редовни изласци прекинули убрзо након његовог рођења. Елси је усвојила превише заштитнички приступ подизању свог сина који се граничио са фиксацијом. Након тога, "Биг Ричи", како је Старкијев отац постао познат, изгубио је интересовање за своју породицу, бирајући уместо тога да проведе дуге сате пијући и плешући у пабовима, понекад и по неколико дана узастопно. У настојању да смањи трошкове становања, његова породица се 1944. преселила у други крај у Динглу, Адмирал Грув; убрзо након тога су се његови родитељи раздвојили и развели су се у року од годину дана.

Приватни живот
Стар је упознао фризерку Морин Кокс 1962. године, исте недеље када се придружио Битлсима. Венчали су се у фебруару 1965. Менаџер Битлса Брајан Епштајн био је кум, а Старов очух Хари Грејвс и његов колега Џорџ Харисон били су сведоци. Пар је имао троје деце: Зака (рођен 13. септембра 1965), Џејсона (рођен 19. августа 1967) и Лија (рођен 11. новембра 1970). Пар се развео 1975. године. Морин је умрла од леукемије у 48. години 1994. године.

Стар је упознао глумицу Барбару Бах 1980. на снимању филма Пећински човек. У мају 1980. Ринго и Барбара су доживели скоро фаталну саобраћајну несрећу, чудом су преживели са неколико повреда. Одвезени су колима хитне помоћи у болницу St. Mary's, зачудо, били су довољно здрави да би били отпуштени након неколико сати. Венчали су се у градској кући Мерилебон 27. априла 1981. Макартнијеви и Харисонови били су гости на венчању и пријему у Регс-у (у Мејферу). Бахову венчаницу дизајнирали су Дејвид и Елизабет Емануел (који су креирали и венчаницу принцезе Дајане). Сведоци су били Роџер Шајн и Хилари Џерард.

У децембру 2015. Стар и Бах су продали неке од својих личних и професионалних ствари на аукцији у Лос Анђелесу. На аукцији је прикупљено преко 9 милиона долара, од којих је део издвојен за Лотус фондацију, добротворну организацију коју су основали Стар и Бах.

Ex-CPD sergeant gets 6 months for swapping police info for cash
Dec 9, 2016 | WLSAM Staff
(CHICAGO) A former Near West District sergeant with the Chicago Police Department was sentenced to six months in prison Thursday for trading police information with a liquor store clerk in return for cash.
Ray M. Ramirez, 53, admitted in a plea deal that he traded information he got from police databases to the clerk for cash payments of $150-200, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's office.
The information he gave the clerk included a criminal background check on a prospective store employee, a vehicle registration check and a review of police incidents happening in and around the store, prosecutors said.
Ramirez also admitted to shaking down the clerk and other store employees for cash payments ranging from $70-200 — at times while he was on-duty and wore his police uniform, prosecutors said.
He pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor count of exceeding his authorized use of a police department computer and was sentenced to six months in prison by U.S. District Judge Ronald A. Guzman, according to the statement.

There are so many movies available these days that the family can watch together. It seems that each time the new movies come out in theater, at least half of them are family friendly. I am not one of those parents who would start a riot over things in movies usually, but, I am finding that the use of sexually suggesting things (Take Woody and Bo Peep for instance) is appearing more and more lately. This so includes language that, while not "bad", still just doesn't need to be used. I just can't see the point unless the crreator is trying to hard to appeal to parents and not the children. Now that the boys are getting older, it is difficult to find shows and movies that are appropriate for both a 4 AND 9 year old to watch together. It's either "to baby" or to mature according to one of them.
As you may already know, P&G and Wal-Mart have partnered to create more made for TV family movies. Following in the success of the most recent film Truth Be Told , the newest P&G and Wal-Mart Family Movie Night collaboration Field of Vision premieres June 11th at 8/7c on NBC.
I had the chance to view this movie before it airs on June 11th. I think it was a good example of how the questionable content doesn't need to be used. The content was also really good and I think if your child is open minded like mine are, there is a really good lesson to learn. Sometimes movies leave certain facts or details hanging, this movie was very well completed. down to see the Trailer!
To find our more about this movie such as the storyline, cast and more pictures, hop on over to their website Field of Vision.
Come join me on the Family Movie Night Facebook Page where people are talking abou tthe movie and see whats coming next!

Why 50 Cent Believes the Streets Had Nothing to Do with His Success
Music - Editorial
#Black History Month
#starz
#TV
Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson burst into the scene with a gimmick some would call bulletproof. Combining hard-hitting rap songs with catchy choruses and melodies, he quickly vaulted to the top of Hip Hop's competitive industry after Eminem discovered him. Much of the allure came with the rapper's gimmick. With him being shot nine times, there might have been an authenticity to 50 Cent's music that not too many could match.
But at the same time, he doesn't credit his background for his success. Instead, the artist asserts that he would've been successful no matter how or where he grew up.
How the past inspired 50 Cent's career
50 Cent. Michael Tran/WireImage
Although he doesn't credit the streets for succeeding, the TV mogul has definitely mined his history for material. His first album, Get Rich or Die Tryin,' references many incidences from his past. From his mother's unsolved death in a fire to the personal drama he's had with his enemies. He even opened up about how his environment left an indelible impression on a young Curtis Jackson.
"The only people I saw coming around who had nice things were from my mom's life," 50 Cent told The Guardian, whose mother dealt drugs before her death. "They had Cadillacs, expensive jewelry, everything that symbolized financial freedom."
Apart from music, the rapper's past has even influenced his ventures into movies and television as well. Following in his mentor Eminem's footsteps, 50 Cent put out a movie loosely based on his life with the same title as his debut album.
Now a television producer and mogul, he's also putting out a show called Power Book III: Raising Kanan that's also loosely based on his childhood. It's a spin-off of the other television series he helped produce, Power, which was a hit on the Starz network.
Although he might be inspired by elements of his past, the former G-Unit leader doesn't believe that past is what ultimately made him successful.
50 Cent believes the streets had nothing to do with his success
50 Cent Tells Us How He Built His Empire and the Magic Behind 'Power' | On Air With Ryan Seacrest
50 Cent is confident that he would've succeeded even if he didn't grow up in his environment. Speaking with interviewer Brian J. Roberts on his Youtube channel, 50 Cent would have adapted to success regardless of circumstances.
"I would've been able to rap, right, I just would've been saying something a little different," 50 Cent claimed. "It would've been different in experience because I wouldn't have written the same thing. And if I could skip the hard parts that I went through I'd skip it."
50 Cent later goes on to clarify that his background, although influential to his success, isn't the source for it.
"They're not a part of … they may be a product of the success because part of my temperament comes from it, and experience and how I view things. But it's not a part of the actual success. I'm being successful doing things that are a lot different than the things I was doing at that point," 50 Cent said.
Why 50 Cent only paid $800 a month for an apartment when he was worth $38 million
50 Cent revealed how he reacted to his newfound fortune after his sudden rise to stardom. In the same interview with Roberts, he admitted it was a hard adjustment. Which was why he still lived in a two-bedroom apartment when he was a multi-millionaire.
"At that momentum, at the peak of everything that was going on, I wasn't even feeling the adjustment because I already had more than I needed," 50 Cent confided. "When I left for the first tour, my first run, I came back, I had $38 million in my account. And all I had was a two-bedroom apartment that was $800 a month. So, if you don't spend it, the IRS is gonna take it. So, I needed the expenses."
Because of this, 50 Cent bought Mike Tyson's old Connecticut home, which he later sold for $2.9 million in 2019 according to Insider.

HK cops accused of brutal beating
Two Hong Kong police officers were arrested after a video emerged of them beating a man on a hospital trolley, heaping further pressure on a force already facing accusations of brutality after tear gas attacks on protesters.
The footage, recorded in late June and seen on the South China Morning Post site, shows two uniformed officers assaulting the man with batons and holding a cloth over his mouth.

There are no other people in the room as the officers take turns to abuse the patient over several minutes.
Police said the man was under arrest at the time.
"It is clear that the actions committed by the police officers concerned are unlawful," said police spokesman John Tse, adding that police viewed the video for the first time on Tuesday.
"So far, two involved officers were arrested for assault occasioning actual bodily harm." He vowed a full, independent probe, insisting "police officers are never allowed to use abusive force for their own sake".

The incident is likely to further fuel anger towards the stretched police force. Pro-democracy protesters who have staged weeks of rallies throughout the city have called for an independent inquiry into the police response, which has included frequent use of tear gas and rubber bullets.
The force has become the loathed face of the Hong Kong government, and small groups of hardcore protesters have frequently clashed with frontline officers.

This home was relocated from Avalon to Cape May in order to save it from demolition.
"THE AVALON HOUSE," an 1895 Victorian home that was saved from demolition by one of its former occupants, then moved from Avalon to a storage location offshore, has been moved to its new location in Cape May. Last week the home, which had been disassembled into large sections for its move out of Avalon, was transported to Texas Avenue in Cape May where it will eventually be reassembled. Adrienne Scharnikow, who spent summers in the home as a child, purchased the structure for $1 from a developer who owned the Avalon lot on which it sat, in order to prevent it from being demolished. Moving the house from its temporary storage location in Egg Harbor Township to Cape May took several hours, as the house sections were transported along back roads at low speeds. The Wildwood Video Archive has produced a nice video summary of the move (above). Below, a section of the house is seen on 29th Street as it left Avalon in 2018.

AVALON SAND BACKPASSING: Avalon is planning a sand backpassing project, which would move sand from borrow sites and deposit it on north end beaches impacted by erosion over the winter. About 50,000 cubic yards of sand would be moved by trucks on the beach. The borough is seeking an emergency permit for the project from the NJ DEP and expects to receive it. Heavy equipment used to conduct the project will not be available in May, so the project could start in April—a month earlier than the borough would prefer, due to the risk of damage to newly filled beaches from spring storms. The borough has conducted sand backpassing operations in the past, in between larger hydraulic beach fill projects.
A VIEW FROM ABOVE! This eagle has frequently been seen perched upon the top of a utility pole along Stone Harbor Boulevard. Eagles have made a strong recovery in recent decades, and many of them have been spotted in Cape May County. This one enjoys an unmatched view from his perch way above the rest of us!

The classic retro fish outline is combined with a slightly redefined rocker and boxy rails for more control than classic retro fishes. It can be surfed as a classic twin but comes with three fin boxes and a small centre fin to provide that little hint of control. The deep and wide fish tail gives you all the speed you need for smooth long carves. It's ups the price but to get truly classic you can order the Giant in our glossy finish.

Getting collectables designed and made for your company/website is a creative and an exciting event. However, if gone wrong it can end in a disaster. If you want a free option and also make some money you can set up Merchoo on your website.
Merchoo is a collectables manufacturing company which provides you an online shop which you can integrate into your website which will contain products/collectables offered by them with your logos and(or) text which you design on the collectables. When a user purchases you get money in return. Is this not a good deal?
Integrating Merchoo is very easy. For WordPress websites you can download a plugin by the same name as Merchoo. For non-WordPress sites, you can add the code provided by Merchoo. For WordPress plugin all you have to do is to install the plugin and enter the merchant id which you can get from the "My Account" section of the Merchoo website.
In case for the non-WordPress website you just have to write the merchant id in the code itself and use that code. Integrating the shopping store is extremely easy. Setting up the store from the Merchoo website is easy as well.
Designing your collectables is even easier, as Merchoo provides the software where you can upload your images or add text and drag and drop them on to the designated area.

Our physique requires nutrients to sustain daily routines at college, dwelling, or work. Folic Acid or Vitamin B9 or Folacin is a vitamin important for proper body functions. Pears are wholesome and engaging fruits. The drugs "complement" your natural intake of vitamins and minerals. These vitamins help assist and preserve cell metabolism, and in addition present energy to the physique by burning carbohydrates and fat.
If you happen to eat fruits or vegetables every day; particularly citrus fruits, broccoli, leafy greens, purple and inexperienced peppers, your vitamin C consumption should be the place you need it to be. Because the body does not produce most of those vitamins, it's important we offer them to our our bodies via the food we eat.
Too little causes deficiency that may result in numerous issues, whereas an excessive amount of (especially the fats-soluble vitamins) might cause problems too, as the body finds it exhausting to take away the excess quantities. The best way to get all of the nutritional vitamins in satisfactory quantities are to eat quite a lot of foods notably, fresh food.
Nonetheless, unhealthy diets can result in vitamin deficiency, which can then spearhead a string of ailments like fatigue, weak point, unhealthy gums, dry pores and skin, and many others. Vitamin A promotes good vision, helps preserve healthy pores and skin, and boosts immune sytem well being.
Not solely Inositol aids in hair loss issues, but it surely additionally presents useful results in different types of pores and skin problems. The vitamin b6 can also be important in nerve operate, protein digestion, immune operate, and red blood cells. Including vitamin C to a tradition of skin cells dramatically will increase the synthesis of collagen.

Live, love and toil with a will,

For the clock may then he still.
FREEMASONRY IN INDIA
HISTORY OF THE GRAND LODGE OF INDIA
In 1717 A.D. when an era of comparative peace and harmony dawned on the European scene, the United Grand Lodge of England and Scotland took shape at a meeting of the local Lodges of London, to elect a Grand Master. A United constitution was drawn up and recognized by all the Lodges. A democratic tradition in the election of the Worshipful Master of a Lodge was prescribed. The Worshipful Master was authorized to appoint his team of officers. It is therefore of interest that within 12 years of the constitution of the Grand Lodge of England, constituted for the purpose of exercising supervision over the lodges in London, and its neighbouring areas, a petition was sent by a few Brethren in India to constitute a Provincial Grand Lodge in Calcutta. The Petition having been granted, a Provincial Grand Master was appointed to supervise Masonic activity in India and the Far East in 1728 A.D. Full details regarding how the First Lodge was constituted in India, are preserved in the Minutes of the Grand Lodge in London. First a petition was presented on December 28, 1728 and at the end of the minutes of that meeting, the text of the "Deputation" from the Grand Master: "to Empower and Authorize our well beloved Brother Pomfret…. that he do, in our place and stead, constitute a regular Lodge, in due form at Fort William in Bengal in the East Indies…." This was signed and sealed "the 6th day of February 1728/9 and in the year of Masonry 5732 (which shows that Grand Lodge used Usher's Chronology in dating the Masonic era – as the Grand Lodge of Scotland still do).
The Lodge at Fort William — that is, Calcutta — appears in the Engraved List of 1730, as No. 72. It was to meet at Fort William in Calcutta. The coat of Arms was adopted from the East India Company a golden lion, rampant guardant, supporting between the forepaws a regal crown. In 1729, Captain Ralph Farwinter was appointed "Provisional Grand Master for East India in Bengal" and also James Dawson as "Provincial Grand Master" for East Indies.
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Madras was formed in 1752 and The Provincial Grand Lodge of Bombay was created in 1758. Although it appeared in the Roll of Grand Lodge there is no record of how it came into being.
The first Indian Mason was Omdat-ul-Omrah, Nawab Carnatic initiated in 1775. The doors to Hindu Masonry was flung wide-open might one say, by the unstoppable determination of one Mr. P.C. Dutt of Calcutta to become a member of the craft. After much opposition from the Provincial Grand Master (Hugh Sanderman) and nine years after he was proposed for initiation Mr. Dutt became Bro. Dutt in Anchor and Hope, No. 234, in 1872. Twenty-three years later, he was Deputy District Grand Master.
It was towards the end of October 1959 that the Most W. Grand Masters of England, Ireland and the Immediate Past Grand Master Mason of Scotland met in London to discuss the future of Freemasonry in India. The three Grand Masters considered that "an independent Grand Lodge of India is desirable and that its establishment should be gradually but actively pursued." A representative Steering Committee was set up consisting exclusively of Indian Brethren in proportion to the number of Lodges under each of the three Constitutions, with R.W. Bro Lt. Gen. Sir Harold Williams, K.B.E., C.B., as Chairman, with the aim of establishing an independent Grand Lodge of India on the best possible foundations. The Steering Committee met at important centres of Masonic activities in the North, East, South and West of India and its report was unanimously signed early October 1960. On December 1, the three Grand Masters issued "Notes on the proposed Grand Lodge of India for the information and guidance of Lodges in India." Therein they reiterated their declared attitude towards an independent Grand Lodge of India, but left it to Lodges in India to decide whether to opt for or against joining such a body, adding that if the Brethren in India decided in favour of an independent Grand Lodge, they would accept the decision and establish with it the closest fraternal relations and that Lodges not wishing to participate would continue to enjoy the existing rights under their respective Grand Lodges. Out of a total of 277 individual Lodges in India (excluding Pakistan, Ceylon and Aden, which were excluded for the poll) 145 opted for the new Grand Lodge of India. This represented a little over 52 per cent.
The Grand Lodge of India was officially constituted at ten minutes to six o'clock on Friday the 24th November 1961 in the Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi. There were three delegations from the Grand Lodge of Scotland, Ireland and England in that order.
After the three delegations were received and greeted, the Grand Master Mason of Scotland proceeded with the Consecration. Thereafter, The Deputy Grand Master of Ireland officially constituted the new Grand Lodge saying "in the name of the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland and Scotland and by the command of their Grand Master, I constitute and form you, my good Brethren into the Sovereign Grand Lodge of India, you are empowered henceforth to exercise all the rights and privileges of a Grand Lodge according to the ancient usages and landmarks of the Craft. May the Grand Architect of the Universe prosper, direct and counsel you in all your proceedings."
After the Consecration and Constitution, the Deputy Grand Master of England assumed the Throne and installed Major General Dr. Sir Syed Raza Ali Khan, G.C.I.E., D.Litt. LL.D., His Highness The Nawab of Rampur, as the first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of India. The Aprons, Collars, Gauntlets etc. for the new Lodge were provided jointly by the three parent Grand Lodges.
In addition to the three parent Grand Lodges the M.W. Grand Master of the Grand Lodges of the State of Israel, the M.W. Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Alberta (Canada) and about 1,491 Brethren from all over India were present at this historic event.
FAQ ON INDIAN FREEMASONRY
Q). When did Freemasonry come to India?
A). The honor of receiving Freemasonry in India goes to Calcutta. In 1730 officers of the East Indian Company held their meetings in Fort William, Calcutta. The number given to the Lodge was 72.
Q). What was the first Lodge in Madras?
A). No. 222 EC, in 1752, and it does not appear to have received a name.
Q). What was the first Lodge in Bombay?
A). Bombay Lodge No. 234 EC in 1758.
Q). What was the first Lodge in Punjab?
A). Lodge No. 489 EC, in 1786.
Q). What effect did the existence of two competing Grand Lodges in England [Ancients and Moderns] have on Freemasonry in India?
A). In as much as numerous Lodges had been constituted in India by the Moderns while others had come into existence Ancient auspices, quite naturally much of the Ritualistic differences established themselves into the respective Lodges. This situation was complicated somewhat by the fact that there were also Lodges in India of Irish & Scottish origins. However, it was in India, where both the warring groups joined together in harmony long before the formation of the Union of England. In 1785, the Atholl Lodge at Madras surrounded its powers and accepted the United Provincial Grand Lodge. The old Atholl Lodge was recorded as lodge of Perfect Unanimity [later numbered as No. 150]. Madras had thus stolen a march of 27 years over the United Grand Lodge of England, which was formed in 1813.
Q). Who was the first Indian Mason?
A). Omdat-ul-Omrah, the Nawab of Carnatic. The second Indian Mason was M. Bandeh Ali Khan, initiated in Marine Lodge, Calcutta in 1812.

Q). Which Province had segregation preventing Indians from being admitted into Freemasonry?
A). In Bengal, where the bye-law No. 55 of the PGL (EC) prevented Indians from being admitted into Freemasonry. Ultimately the first Hindu to be admitted in Bengal was Bro. P C Dutt in 1872, that too after very many "black – balling" and nine years of persistent appeals.
Q). What were the foreign Constitutions whose Lodges functioned in India?
A). Dutch Constitution – Lodge Solomon was founded on April 7, 1758 at Tandelga near Chinsurah in Bengal by the commander of the merchant fleet of the Netherlands East India Company, Bro. Jacob Larwood Van Chevichaven.
French Constitution – Lodge Sincere Amite, Pondicherry was chartered in 1787. There were quite a few Naval Lodges. Though Naval Lodges were not recognized by the Grand Lodge of France, the members of the Naval Lodge in due course found their way to get affiliated to and remain under the protection of a stationary Lodge.
Scottish Constitution – Into the sub-continent the first Lodge under the Scottish Constitution was consecrated in 1801 in Ceylon (Sri Lanka). One Lodge Hope No. 334 SC, Karachi was charted in 1767; in 1770 it was shifted to New Castle and in 1782 to New York. The date of its arrival in India cannot at present be stated. Lodge Hope was charted by the PGM of Western India on April 25, 1842.
Danish Constitution – Introduced in Tranquebar (near Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu) in 1805. The Danish colony at Tranquebar was fairly numerously populated by Danes. Due to the efforts of one Bro. Ewald a warrant was granted for a Lodge at Tranquebar in 1807 by the National Grand Lodge of Denmark. The name of the Lodge was "De L'amour Fraternelle" (to Brotherly Love).

1. Freemasonry is very, very strong in India and it is on the upward rise. As on date there are 347 lodges under the Grand Lodge of AF&AM of India. The degrees available are the Craft, Royal Arch Chapter, Mark Master Masonry and Royal Ark Mariner. Currently there are Lodges functioning under the English, Scottish and Irish constitutions. The relationship between the constitutions is very cordial and intervisitations are encouraged and practised.
2. In Indian Lodges the Altar is placed immediately in front of the Worshipful Master's Pedestal, so that no one can pass between the Altar and the Pedestal.
3. Indian Lodges keep five Volumes of Sacred Law on the Altar, namely, The Holy Bible [Christianity], Bhagvad Gita [Hinduism], Holy Koran [Islam], Guru Granth Sahib [Sikhism] and the Zenda Avastha [Zorastrian] on the Altar. They are opened and placed separately and not piled up one upon the other. The Square and Compasses is ordinarily placed in position on that Book to which the Worshipful Master owes his allegiance, except on Installation Nights when they will be placed on that Book on which the Master Elect will take his Obligation. The candidates for Initiation, Passing and Raising take their Obligation on the Book of their faith.
There are four Regional Grand Lodges under the Grand Lodge of India, namely,
Regional Grand Lodge of Northern India, inaugurated on November 21, 1961.
Regional Grand Lodge of Eastern India, inaugurated on December 2, 1961.
Regional Grand Lodge of Western India, inaugurated on December 6, 1961.
Regional Grand Lodge of Southern India, inaugurated on December 9, 1961.
A Regional Grand Master appointed by the Grand Master rules each Regional Grand Lodge for a period of 3 years.
Due to the large number of Lodges and members in every Region and to facilitate better management and supervision each Regional Grand Lodge is further divided into topographical areas consisting of several lodges. An Assistant Regional Grand Master appointed by the Regional Grand Master every year at the Annual Investiture Meeting of the respective Regional Grand Lodge is in charge of each Area for that year.For further information Contact the Regional Grand Secretary.

BOSTON, March 11 (UPI) — Women who are heavy coffee drinkers and take hormone replacement therapy could be at a higher risk for developing Parkinson's disease, research released Tuesday suggested.
For women who take HRT and drink beverages with little or no caffeine, the risk was reduced, according to the study published in the journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Although previous studies have associated caffeine with a low risk for Parkinson's in men, data on women have been inconclusive. Dr. Alberto Ascherio's research suggests the ambiguity could be due to a previously unknown hormone factor.
"Women who do not take hormone replacement therapy behave like men with the same inverse relationship," said Ascherio, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. Those who consumed more caffeinated drinks had a lower risk for the disease. On the other hand, "women who take HRT show an association in the opposite direction," he said.
To examine the relationship between caffeine intake, estrogen and Parkinson's, the research team looked at data for more than 77,000 women over an 18-year period. Out of these, 154 developed Parkinson's — a progressive disease that affects the ability to control movement.
Women on HRT who drank six or more cups of coffee a day quadrupled their risk for Parkinson's compared to those who did not drink coffee. For the moderate caffeine consumers, whether women were taking hormone therapy did not seem to affect their risk for Parkinson's.
Acherio said further research is needed to determine what is responsible for this link. "What is well known is that estrogen delays metabolism of caffeine," he said, adding whether this plays a part in the risk for disease is uncertain.
He also warned women not to change their decisions to use HRT based on these research results. "It's important to confirm these findings first," he said, as debate continues over a potential link between HRT and cancer as well as other diseases.
"It's hard to put into everyday life," agreed Dr. Charles Adler, professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. Although provocative, he said the results were somewhat complicated.
"The major issue here is what underlies this interaction," Adler said, adding caffeine and estrogen both play roles in a number of different cell types and neuronal circuits.
He pointed out the number of women who had Parkinson's in the study was small and the limited sample would affect results though they are still significant.
"It adds good information," Adler said, "but for now I'd be very careful about telling people to change their amount of caffeine intake."

High School relaunches!
Thanks to your generosity
Thanks to the generosity of so many donors, one of our major LETS projects has now been completed. the revamped Letefoho High School was officially launched by the Timor Leste Minister of State, Coordinator of Social Affairs and Minister of Education, António da Conceição on 18 May 2016. This could not have happened without the generous support of so many LETS donors, in conjunction with WET (Water East Timor) from Warnambool, Victoria.
LETS funded a new toilet block for the children and teachers, as the existing toilets were primitive, damaged and unusable. We also assisted with refurbishing crumbling classrooms, building a kitchen so students can be fed during the day, installing rainwater tanks and replacing damaged windows.

The school building is the property of the Letefoho parish, but for several years was used by Timor Leste government. It had not been maintained, and was in a state of serious disrepair.
When responsibility for the school was returned to the parish, there was much to do to bring it up to the level of an appropriate environment for school children. Foremost amongst the critical needs were:
functional toilets for the children and staff
a kitchen to provide a simple lunch of rice and chicken or vegetables for the children – some of whom will have walked 1-2 house to get to school. A wood fuel open stove has now been installed.
a safe and reliable water connection. There was no water connected to the building or any water pipes to the grounds. Water tanks, pipes and plumbing have been installed for the toilets, kitchen and a tap for washing dusty feet.
replacement of glass shingles.
repairs to the concrete floors and walls
guttering added to the roof.
painting of the ceilings and walls.
desks. Villagers from nearby have built desks and chairs, as many children had to sit on the floor.
wall-mounted blackboards. Previously donated blackboards which have been sitting on the floors of the classrooms have been fixed to the walls.
Access to high school
To determine which children attend the school, they must pass an "entrance" exam, and their families need to be able to afford school fees of $3 per month.
For those children who do not have the privilege of attending this senior high school, the opportunity to attend further education colleges or university in Dili, is denied. Their future will be to either work with their family or spend most of
their day idle. Education is their key to an improved life, employment and
eventual self-sustainability.
Double the number of places needed
Letefoho is a mountainous subdistrict of the Ermera region in Timor Leste. Although only 72 kilometres from the capital city, Dili, it can take 2-3
hours to drive there. This is due to poor road conditions, made even worse in the wet season.
The population of the Letefoho Parish is estimated to be around 22,000, with
600 children of the appropriate age for the senior high school. At present the
school can only accommodate a maximum of 300 children.
LETS help rebuild a school
Letefoho Senior School Project
A report by LETS Chairperson, Georgina Loughnan
Three hundred children in the Letefoho region are without access to senior high school education due to lack of available facilities. Our Letefoho Senior School Project set about refurbishing and eventually extending the existing badly run-down high school to accommodate the current and growing population of children needing a senior education.

On a ship like Serenity, you need a good pilot. That ain't because the ship is a piece of goushi with a crappy compressor coil and issues with the primary buffer planner. No, those are reasons why you need a good mechanic on board. You really need a good pilot because taking just any ol' job that comes along tends to make for more people chasin' after ya. So make sure you get someone to fly the ship who can pull a Crazy Ivan, dohn-ma?
Hoban "Wash" Washburne might just be the best pilot in the whole 'Verse. No matter who you're a-runnin' from, he'll get the ship and crew through safely... more or less. He is a leaf on the wind. Watch him soar. And keep him with you always, with this sterling silver reversible necklace. One side reads "I am a leaf on the wind". The other side reads "Watch how I soar". It hangs from a 20" sterling silver chain to put 'round your neck and keep close to your heart.
