St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Jan. 4
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
From the Catholic Encyclopedia
Foundress and first superior of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, b. in New York City, 28 Aug., 1774, of non-Catholic parents of high position; d. at Emmitsburg, Maryland, 4 Jan., 1821.
Her father, Dr. Richard Bayley (b. Connecticut and educated in England), was the first professor of anatomy at Columbia College and eminent for his work as health officer of the Port of New York. Her mother, Catherine Charlton, daughter of an Anglican minister of Staten Island, N.Y., died when Elizabeth was three yeas old, leaving two other young daughters. The father married again, and among the children of this second marriage was Guy Charleton Bayley, whose convert son, James Roosevelt Bayley, became Archbishop of Baltimore. Elizabeth always showed great affection for her stepmother, who was a devout Anglican, and for her stepbrothers and sisters. Her education was chiefly conducted by her father, a brilliant man of great natural virtue, who trained her to self-restraint as well as in intellectual pursuits. She read industriously, her notebooks indicating a special interest in religious and historical subjects. She was very religious, wore a small crucifix around her neck, and took great delight in reading the Scriptures, especially the Psalms, a practice she retained until her death.
She was married on 25 Jan., 1794, in St. Paul's Church, New York, to William Magee Seton, of that city, by Bishop Prevoost. In her sister-in-law, Rebecca Seton, she found the "friend of her soul", and as they went about on missions of mercy they were called the "Protestant Sisters of Charity". Business troubles culminated on the death of her father-in-law in 1798. Elizabeth and her husband presided over the large orphaned family; she shared his financial anxieties, aiding him with her sound judgment. Dr. Bayley's death in 1801 was a great trial to his favourite child. In her anxiety for his salvation she had offered to God, during his fatal illness, the life of he infant daughter Catherine. Catherine's life was spared, however, she died at the age of ninety, as Mother Catherine of the Sisters of Mercy, New York. In 1803 Mr. Seton's health required a sea voyage; he started with his wife and eldest daughter for Leghorn, where the Filicchi brothers, business friends of the Seton firm, resided. The other children, William, Richard, Rebecca, and Catherine, were left to the care of Rebecca Seton.
From a journal which Mrs. Seton kept during her travels we learn of her heroic effort to sustain the drooping spirits of her husband during the voyage, followed by a long detention in quarantine, and until his death at Pisa (27 Dec., 1803). She and her daughter remained for some time with the Filicchi families. While with these Catholic families and in the churches of Italy Mrs. Seton first began to see the beauty of the Catholic Faith. Delayed by her daughter's illness and then by her own, she sailed for home accompanied by Antonio Filicchi, and reached New York on 3 June, 1804. Her sister-in-law, Rebecca, died in July. A time of great spiritual perplexity began for Mrs. Seton, whose prayer was, "If I am right Thy grace impart still in the right to say. If I am wrong Oh, teach my heart to find the better way." Mr. Hobart (afterwards an Anglican bishop), who had great influence over her, used every effort to dissuade her from joining the Catholic Church, while Mr. Filicchi presented the claims of the true religion and arranged a correspondence between Elizabeth and Bishop Cheverus. Through Mr. Filicchi she also wrote to Bishop Carroll. Elizabeth meanwhile added fasting to her prayers for light. The result was that on Ash Wednesday, 14 March, 1805, she was received into the Church by Father Matthew O'Brien in St. Peter's Church, Barclay St., New York. On 25 March she made her first Communion with extraordinary fervour; even the faint shadow of this sacrament in the Protestant Church had had such an attraction for her that she used to hasten from one church to another to receive it twice each Sunday. She well understood the storm that her conversion would raise among her Protestant relatives and friends at the time she most needed their help. Little of her husband's fortune was left, but numerous relatives would have provided amply for her and her children had not this barrier been raised. She joined an English Catholic gentleman named White, who, with his wife, was opening a school for boys in the suburbs of New York, but the widely circulated report that this was a proselytizing scheme forced the school to close.
A few faithful friends arranged for Mrs. Seton to open a boarding-house for some of the boys of a Protestant school taught by the curate of St. Mark's. In January, 1806, Cecilia Seton, Elizabeth's young sister-in-law, became very ill and begged to see the ostracized convert; Mrs. Seton was sent for, and became a constant visitor. Cecilia told her that she desired to become a Catholic. When Cecilia's decision was known threats were made to have Mrs. Seton expelled from the state by the Legislature. On her recovery Cecilia fled to Elizabeth for refuge and was received into the Church. She returned to her brother's family on his wife's death. Mrs. Seton's boarding-house for boys had to be given up. Her sons had been sent by the Filicchis to Georgetown College. She hoped to find a refuge in some convent in Canada, where her teaching would support her three daughters. Bishop Carroll did not approve, so she relinquished this plan. Father Dubourg, S. S., from St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, met her in New York, and suggested opening in Baltimore a school for girls. After a long delay and many privations, she and her daughters reached Baltimore on Corpus Christi, 1808. Her boys were brought there to St. Mary's College, and she opened a school next to the chapel of St. Mary's Seminary and was delighted with the opportunities for the practice of her religion, for it was only with the greatest difficulty she was able to get to daily Mass and Communion in New York. The convent life for which she had longed ever since her stay in Italy now seemed less impracticable. Her life was that of a religious, and her quaint costume was fashioned after one worn by certain nuns in Italy. Cecilia Conway of Philadelphia, who had contemplated going to Europe to fulfill her religious vocation, joined her; soon other postulants arrived, while the little school had all the pupils it could accommodate.
Mr. Cooper, a Virginian convert and seminarian, offered $10,000 to found an institution for teaching poor children. A farm was bought half a mile from the village of Emmitsburg and two miles from Mt. St. Mary's College. Meanwhile Cecilia Seton and her sister Harriet came to Mrs. Seton in Baltimore. As a preliminary to the formation of the new community, Mrs. Seton took vows privately before Archbishop Carroll and her daughter Anna. In June, 1808, the community was transferred to Emmitsburg to take charge of the new institution. The great fervour and mortification of Mother Seton, imitated by her sisters, made the many hardships of their situation seem light. In Dec., 1809, Harriet Seton, who was received into the Church at Emmitsburg, died there, and Cecilia in Apr., 1810. Bishop Flaget was commissioned in 1810 by the community to obtain in France the rules of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Three of these sisters were to be sent to train the young community in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, but Napoleon forbade them to leave France. The letter announcing their coming is extant at Emmitsburg. The rule, however, with some modifications, was approved by Archbishop Carroll in Jan., 1812, and adopted. Against her will, and despite the fact that she had also to care for her children, Mrs. Seton was elected superior. Many joined the community; Mother Seton's daughter, Anna, died during her novitiate (12 March, 1812), but had been permitted to pronounce her vows on her death-bed. Mother Seton and the eighteen sisters made their vows on 19 July, 1813. The fathers superior of the community were the Sulpicians, Fathers Dubourg, David, and Dubois. Father Dubois held the post for fifteen yeas and laboured to impress on the community the spirit of St. Vincent's Sisters of Charity, forty of whom he had had under his care in France. The fervour of the community won admiration everywhere. The school for the daughters of the well-to-do prospered, as it continues to do (1912), and enabled the sisters to do much work among the poor. In 1814 the sisters were given charge of an orphan asylum in Philadelphia; in 1817 they were sent to New York. The previous year (1816) Mother Seton's daughter, Rebecca, after long suffering, died at Emmitsburg; her son Richard, who was placed with the Filicchi firm in Italy, died a few years after his mother. William, the eldest, joined the United States Navy and died in 1868. The most distinguished of his children are Most. Rev. Robert Seton, Archbishop of Heliopolis (author of a memoir of his grandmother, "Roman Essays", and many contributions to the "American Catholic Quarterly" and other reviews), and William Seton (q.v.).
Mother Seton had great facility in writing. Besides the translation of many ascetical French works (including the life of Saint Vincent de Paul, and of Mlle. Le Gras) for her community she has left copious diaries and correspondence that show a soul all on fire with the love of God and zeal for souls. Great spiritual desolation purified her soul during a great portion of her religious life, but she cheerfully took the royal road of the cross. For several years the saintly bishop (then Father) Bruti was her director. The third time she was elected mother (1819) she protested that it was the election of the dead, but she lived for two years, suffering finally from a pulmonary affection. Her perfect sincerity and great charm aided her wonderfully in he work of sanctifying souls. In 1880 Cardinal Gibbons (then Archbishop) urged the steps be taken toward her canonization. The result of the official inquiries in the cause of Mother Seton, held in Baltimore during several years, were brought to Rome by special messenger, and placed in the hands of the postulator of the cause on 7 June, 1911.
Her cause is entrusted to the Priests of the Congregation of the Mission, whose superior general in Paris is also superior of the Sisters of Charity with which the Emmitsburg community was incorporated in 1850, after the withdrawal of the greater number of the sisters (at the suggestion of Archbishop Hughes) of the New York houses in 1846. This union had been contemplated for some time, but the need of a stronger bond at Emmitsburg, shown by the New York separation, hastened it. It was effected with the loss of only the Cincinnati community of six sisters. With the Newark and Halifax offshoots of the New York community and the Greenburg foundation from Cincinnati, the sisters originating from Mother Seton's foundation number (1911) about 6000. The original Emittsburg community now wearing the cornette and observing the rule just as St. Vincent gave it, naturally surpasses any of the others in number. It is found in about thirty dioceses in the United States, and forms a part of the worldwide sisterhood, whilst the others are rather diocesan communities.

Home Business Why should you buy Instagram Followers for your struggling online presence?
There are quite many apparent reasons for businesses buying social media engagement. The massive number of social media following is considered as a status symbol nowadays, so why the companies should leave behind in the race?
Many businesses including the small businesses, medium-sized businesses or the large businesses have gathered a large number of Instagram fans organically. But, on the same road, there are many medium, large or small-sized businesses who are still struggling to get most out of their efforts and build a robust online presence. Despite having used all the tactics and tools recommended by the experts, businesses still struggle to gain a good number of following.
From celebrities to politicians and from big brands to small brands, are trying their best to increase their online presence and gain an edge over their competitors. Every brand or celebrity knows the importance of a vast number of following. It is a well-known fact that the first thing which is noted by the visitors before interacting with that profile is the followers.
It is not a fact that whether your business is doing good offline or not. But, if you want to increase the presence of your brand globally, you have to use the social media tactics to build a solid online presence. One of the methods is to work very very hard to get the results where the results are also not guaranteed, or you can directly buy them and focus only on increasing the quality of your brand.
Many online companies had come into existence and helping the companies increasing their online presence by instaboostgram.com and active Instagram Followers at the nominal rates.
It is a concern of a lot of people that whether buying social media traffic work or not? Well, let me tell you one thing that it will or it won't. The main reason behind my statement is that people directly buy them from those companies who are not even holding a reputation in the market and when the accounts of those people get negatively affected, they come to know the truth.
Many fake companies in the market are doing scams and making a fool out of the people by stating that they provide a good number of traffic in a dirt low price. Many people fall into this trap,and they end up buying fake numbers. In severe cases, they also have to lose their accounts too. The thing that these companies do is that they provide you with the bot traffic in the name of the real traffic. The methods used by them are 100% fake and may even end you up in losing your account. This bot traffic coming on your profile from these companies can be easily detected and you may be also penalized for using them.
But luckily, there are many real companies in existence also who are into this business from quite a long time and doing their job honestly. These real companies will not sell you fake traffic. Instead, they had associations with many real account holders, and they all will follow you upon the payment for your desired number of Instagram Followers. These companies pay them on per task basis, and that's how this business works. Hence, there is no chance of any cheat or spam, and they're 100% legit in what they are doing.
How to detect fake companies?
There many things which you can consider before buying Instagram followers from any company. These tips can save you from any scam running in the name of providing real social traffic. These tips can save your hard-earned money and also the risk of being losing your account.
You can check the social media stats of the company on different social media platforms. If the online stats of the company is high on social media is high, you can trust the company. If the company itself have a meager number of followers and claiming that it can provide you with real stats, it's a clear-cut scam.
Although, it's not a very strong indicator of whether a company is fake or not. But, still, it is an excellent way to examine whether a company is fake or not. The real companies understand that their website looks matters a lot while attracting a customer to buy their service. So, they try to develop premium looking sites for them. On the contrary, fake or shell company doesn't have much attention over this. They mostly have simple static websites which are built to fool as many people as possible.
There are many online forums on the internet which are solely based on discussing and giving information about buying real Instagram Followers. You can register yourself on these forums and open a thread regarding the query, or you can use browse for the existing threads to get your answers.


Inspired by her local produce section and the still life work of a Brooklyn artist she had admired, BKC student and photographer, Gloria Cook followed her inspiration and ended up making some amazing images of her own.
"I thought about shooting stills every time I was distracted by the unique textures of exotic fruits in the produce section," explains Cook, who typically shoots lifestyle and fashion portraiture.
The tantalizing photo series was produced for our Embrace Your Curiosity class taught by Sally Bozzuto which challenged students to dig deep, embrace their fears, vulnerabilities and try something new through visual art. The work culminated in a wonderful group show and we are happy to share this stunning work that Gloria had contributed to it.

Survey: Nearly 25% of American hiring managers do not want recruiters to work with Jewish people
At a enterprise dinner lately, Renee Fellman was informed that as a result of she was Jewish, nobody would contact her.
Fellman, a Portland, Oregon-based company turnaround guide, was shocked—not simply by the presence of antisemitism, however stated his contact with it was very open.
"I doubt there may be extra anti-Semitism now than there was 10 or 20 years in the past," stated Fellman, who had beforehand been tougher to interpret experiences of discrimination equivalent to contempt. "Individuals are simply expressing. It has grow to be applicable to say that."
Expressions of antisemitism throughout American tradition, politics, and even enterprise grew louder In recent times. It isn't simply high-profile statements made by rapper ye and basketball star Kyrie Irving or politicians increasingly comfortable White supremacist teams. Antisemitic harassment, vandalism and assault reached the peak of 42 years In keeping with the Anti-Defamation League, the newest 12 months for which knowledge is on the market is in 2021. There may be additionally proof that discrimination seeps into the office.
A 2022 research printed within the tutorial journal Socius measuring 11,356 workers of all faiths discovered that greater than half of the Jews who responded had skilled discrimination within the office – the next proportion than every other spiritual group besides Muslims. A smaller ballot from 1,131 November recruitment managers and recruiters The survey commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com had even stark findings: Virtually 1 / 4 stated they wished fewer Jews of their trade, and an analogous share agreed that they had been much less prone to advance Jewish candidates. Among the many distinguished causes for this discriminatory habits is the notion that Jews have an excessive amount of energy and wealth.
"It appears to verify our considerations that the rising antisemitism in our society is spreading into the office," stated Vlad Khaykin, nationwide director of anti-Semitism applications on the Anti-Defamation League. "It reveals that modern workplaces can typically be hostile to Jewish staff."
Bloomberg News He spoke to a dozen Jewish staff in cities across the nation, working in industries as various as public relations and provide chain logistics. Many expressed a rising sense of discrimination of their day-to-day working lives, together with overhearing anti-Semitic feedback from co-workers or noticing that the ranks of Jewish staff of their organizations had been declining. Many refused to make use of their names, fearing that it might damage their careers or result in additional harassment.
A communications supervisor from the Midwest stated she skilled "astonishing" anti-Semitism at work, and Jewish family and friends suggested her to not inform anybody about her faith or to work with Jewish-owned organizations. One other range and inclusion coach stated {that a} non-Jewish worker reportedly wore a face masks like a yarmulke and sang "The Chanukah Music" by Adam Sandler. In a separate incident, the identical worker used the phrase "genocide second" to explain the poor efficiency of his group. He then informed investigators that he thought his habits was permissible as a result of he thought there have been no Jews there.
"One thing got here to thoughts. "I am afraid of it," stated Andy Heller, a San Francisco actual property investor and entrepreneur. The findings of the ResumeBuilder.com survey partly made clear their fears: that some understand Jews as stingy, low cost, or power-hungry.
"An excessive amount of management, energy, and wealth — these are longstanding antisemitic metaphors used to justify violence towards Jews," stated Rachel Schneider, a Rice College spiritual research researcher and one of many authors of the guide. Socius research. "Antisemitism is alive and effectively. We have to pay extra consideration to its presence within the office."
Heller stated he felt a accountability to face as much as caricatures of the Jewish folks by offering substantial bonuses, paying distributors' payments on time and in full, and tipping generously. "Some folks could solely work together with one or two Jews of their total lifetime," he stated. "We should do our half to make sure that these touchpoints don't result in stereotypes."
"Antisemitism is alive and effectively."
Whereas Jewish People usually have comparatively excessive incomes in comparison with different teams – half of them stay in households incomes at the least $100,000, in comparison with 19% of US adults – they span the financial spectrum. A Pew Research Center survey published in 2021 It discovered {that a} quarter of Jewish respondents had problem paying medical care, hire or mortgage, meals or different payments. The survey stated that about half of Jewish People say they stay "comfortably," however 15% solely have the funds for to cowl primary bills.
spiritual discrimination complaints staff to the U.S. Equal Employment Alternative Fee. Nonetheless, the numbers solely return to 2021, and the company would not reveal occasions particularly involving Jews.
In keeping with Jocelyn SamuelsBecause the EEOC's vice chair, the fee has made quite a lot of constant allegations involving anti-Semitic discrimination through the years and expects a rise previously two years. "When high-profile folks like Ye, Nick Fuentes or Kyrie Irving make overtly antisemitic statements, it encourages folks to say issues out loud that mirror centuries of prejudice and stereotype," he stated.
It runs an initiative referred to as ADL. light a light Serving to organizations like J. Crew, Airbnb Inch. and the Nationwide Basketball Affiliation, integrating antisemitism schooling into their coaching, and beginning Jewish worker useful resource teams. Nonetheless, most office range and inclusion trainings don't explicitly point out anti-Semitism and as an alternative provide broad recommendation to workers to keep away from harassment primarily based on faith.
"I'm not conscious of any group that addresses this immediately and particularly," he stated. Tracey LevyCo-founder of harassment prevention firm Impression Office Coaching.
Levy has included an instance of workplace antisemitism in its curriculum and advises organizations to do the identical. In it, a employee expresses his help of a star's anti-Semitic remarks.

Nokia Networks accelerates performance of SDN-ready applications through OpenFastPath Foundation
Launch of OpenFastPath Foundation uniting industry experts
Telco technology meets the IT world through fast-path, open-source TCP/IP stack
San Jose, U.S.A. - 3 December 2015
Nokia Networks, ARM and Enea have established the OpenFastPath (OFP) Foundation, an initiative that combines the advanced technologies and security features of the telco world with the open source approach of the IT domain. A growing community of engineers can now accelerate the development of high throughput, low latency user space network applications that utilize IP packet processing.
The development of the telco cloud creates requirements for the IP transport network, as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions rely increasingly on transport layer capabilities. The OFP Foundation is a non-profit, open-source software initiative dedicated to lowering technology barriers and fostering innovation in this area. It aims to create a vibrant open-source community around a standardized, accelerated TCP/IP stack that provides top performance for SDN-ready network functions. For operator networks, the new fast-path stack means reduced IP latency, higher capacity and thus faster packet forwarding, and lower implementation costs.
In addition to the three founding members, the initiative is supported by several industry players including AMD, Cavium, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard and Linaro.
Click to Tweet: New OpenFastPath Foundation boosts #SDN-ready applications with best IP layer innovation http://nokia.ly/1NHbYtT #NFV #NetworksPerform
The OFP Foundation initiative at a glance:
Aims to deliver a high performance user space TCP/IP stack.
Builds an open source community to develop a best-in-class IP stack.
Offers an opportunity to consolidate best practices and innovation found in existing proprietary IP fast-path implementations.
TCP/IP stack implementation is based on the open-source Free Berkeley Software Distribution (FreeBSD) operating system, and includes User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). New functions will be added in the future.
Optimized for OpenDataPlane (ODP) programming interfaces, with a focus on leveraging hardware acceleration through ODP.
Will be available for all major processor architectures, including ARM, x86, MIPS and PowerPC.
The TCP/IP stack meets the stringent requirements for core and radio applications in the cloud.
Charlene Marini, Vice President, Segment Marketing, ARM, said: "Collaborative open source initiatives such as the OFP Foundation are fundamental in realizing a networking infrastructure built on flexible and heterogeneous compute platforms. The formation of this foundation adds further momentum to the expanding ecosystem of open source communities that are focused on accelerating network applications through innovation and increased interoperatibility, while reducing fragmentation and time to market."
Daniel Forsgren, SVP Product Management, Enea AB, said: "Hardware vendors, application developers and system integrators in the networking ecosystem will benefit greatly from OFP as a common high-performance IP stack, and will be able to focus on their respective differentiation. Enea's unique position as OFP experts is a valuable resource when supporting these efforts, through tailored software and services offerings."
Henri Tervonen, Vice President, Mobile Broadband Architecture at Nokia Networks, said: "I am very excited that we are able to introduce into the IT world the high performance, low latency advantages developed for the telco environment. The OpenFastPath TCP/IP stack will directly affect the speed and capacity of the IP transport layer, helping accelerate the performance of SDN-ready network applications for the benefit of end users."
Nokia Networks has been the forerunner in developing and innovating cloud solutions for the telco world, and solutions that effectively merge the IT and telco cloud domains such as Nokia AirFrame Data Center Solution. In November 2015, Nokia Networks joined Open Compute Project, demonstrating its commitment to openness and collaboration in offering leading cloud-based solutions.
OFP Foundation is the latest cornerstone reflecting the company's ecosystem approach that brings together technology experts for innovative solutions. This initiative is consistent with the industry direction towards collaborative open-source, virtualized, next generation enterprise and telco infrastructure.

Rituraj realises he's in love with the Gaekwad princess, Sitara Devi. The timing is slightly wrong though. Just ten minutes ago Sitara Devi married Harishchandra Gajanan. All of seventeen and nursing a badly bruised heart, Rituraj takes up boxing, hoping to build his strength and heal his wounded soul.
When destiny gives them a second chance, hope springs in his heart.
Rituraj grabs the opportunity of becoming Sitara's bodyguard-cum-assistant. He's the only man in her life but he's just her Man Friday. Since his father was merely an employee of Sitara's father, will he even be considered as a prospective life partner for the Gaekwad princess?
Sitara, and Rituraj are crazily attracted to each other, yet they are unable to move forward. So where is the hitch? Why the fear in taking the relationship to the next level?
Class Barriers! Debauchery! Sexual Perversion!
It looks like 'Ne'er the twain shall meet'.

Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.
Even as a kid, Sundari absolutely loved the 'lived happily ever after' syndrome as she grew up reading all the fairy tales she could lay her hands on, Phantom comics, Mandrake comics and the like. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy end.
Soon, into her teens, Sundari switched her attention from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to a local hero and heroine. Her imagination took flight and she always lived in a rosy cocoon of romance over the years.
Then came the writing – a true bolt out of the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.

Using the Senses in Writing
They're part of all kinds of fiction (and nonfiction): descriptions. Regardless of the genre or scene, they play an important part because they make things clearer while also immersing the reader into the situation and creating a connection. Want something to feel as real as it can? Then don't restrict yourself to the visuals; use the five senses in writing!
Using the 5 senses in writing
The five senses are SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, TOUCH, and TASTE. The one we use most commonly in writing is sight, followed by hearing. We all describe what something or someone looks like, and we include sounds sometimes. But what about unlocking the other senses? Especially incorporating the sense of smell can add authenticity to a scene. If someone walks through a forest, what would they smell? If you enter someone's place for the first time, what fragrances linger? If you're in an intimate scene with a loved one, what's their scent? Similarly, a reader might feel 'right there in the middle of things' if you make him/her think of how something feels. Textures can be described and compared in all sorts of manner and for all kinds of situations. Someone's weapon, clothes, plants, the air on skin, a body to be explored… As for taste, it isn't just important when it comes to food in fiction. Imagine a childhood memory, a love scene, a certain tang carried on the wind. Doesn't that invoke a closeness with whatever is happening as well as a closeness to whomever it's happening?
Here are 3 tips for using the senses in writing:
Don't overdo it. It doesn't have to be all senses in one scene, and certainly not in consecutive sentences. Imagine yourself in that scene and decide what you would notice when and how, then decide whether that's important to the plot.
Use comparisons and descriptive words that will ring a bell with the reader but also fit the character's 'voice' and the relevant situation. If you feel like it, you can mix your metaphors, for example by making a loud sound seem like 'an angry explosion of red'. Make sure to use not just 'X smelled like Y' or "X tasted like Y'. There are whole groups of sensory words to use for each smell, and even new words or word associations you can try out. Adjectives help, like 'tinkling laughter', 'coarse firmness', 'seductive sweetness'…
Make it personal. The way a protagonist sees, hears and especially smells or feels/senses things can be different from stereotypes. Make use of their background to describe a situation – or turn things around and use the description of something to give the readers a glimpse of their past, their preferences or their plans. A woman who knows what silk feels against her skin or who remembers a certain flowery perfume is a different woman than one who thinks of squalling ever-hungry infants when a machine makes noises, for example.
And here are 5 instances when appealing to a reader's senses is a great idea:
When first describing a location or person (so much can be revealed with so little, like a heroine noticing the hero's laugh or an investigator hunting after a particular smell)
When a character's senses are heightened, e.g. due to imminent danger (we tend to pay close attention then, like noticing the absence or presence of a certain sound)
During an intimate scene, even just a kiss (when feelings come into play, we love to focus on every detail – but often end up dwelling on one the most, one that will stick with us and then later on trigger memories)
When something is completely unfamiliar to the reader (especially in world building for genres such as fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian YA where creatures, plants, places and magic might need descriptive passages and explanations)
At the very beginning of a book or chapter, to set the scene. Again, this works for all genres. Sometimes, a descriptive passage that appeals to the senses can appear in one version as the first lines of a book and in a different version as the last lines, to emphasize change. Or they can be the same, to show that the story has indeed come full circle.
As an example for descriptive writing that uses the senses, here are the first few paragraphs of my royal romance novel The Prince's Special Bride:
Marie hadn't seen that much of the world yet, but she was sure of one thing: The Maldives had the most beautiful sunset on earth.
There was something inexplicably magical about the way the countless, unashamedly blazing hues of the sky were reflected by the endless expanse of the sea. No skyscrapers and smog like she remembered it from her early childhood. No sudden, dulled outburst hardly remembered, but a drawn-out concert of colors, the sky flirting with the ocean until it was suffused in its glow. Even the busiest and most hard-hearted of the tourists took a moment to admire the spectacle, to bask in its glory for a fleeting moment of natural bliss.
As the Night Manager, Marie was always on duty shortly after the sun set upon the paradise that was Kuramathi Island in the Rasdhoo Atoll. Yet she never missed these few moments of calm and reverence. She had a favorite spot to watch it, and she knew the path so well she could walk it blindly.
A little away from the hustle and bustle of the hotel, someone had once thought of building a small tree house at the border of the palm grove encircling the resort. Marie suspected hardly anyone knew about it, apart from the occasional lifeguard who perched there during daytime. Nestled among foliage whispering in the gentle sea breeze, it was only visible if you knew what to look for, but it provided her with a breathtaking, uninterrupted view of the horizon.
Marie shook some sand off her feet—all the staff were barefoot at this hotel—and reached for a rung of the rickety ladder. A soft sound made her stop in mid-movement.

Review & Spotlight for "Her Prince Charming" by Sundari Venkatraman
I'm a fan of Sundari Venkatraman's books so I was eager to get my hands on this new release.
I loved the way the heroine Tanuja is portrayed. Quiet and acquiescent – but still waters run deep! Beneath the forced calm and endless patience lie not just genuine kindness but also a hidden vivacity and determination, a thirst for the better life that she deserves. As for the hero Raj, he's a real charmer. A self-made man who manages to exude confidence as much as true generosity and honesty. Tanu caught herself a rare gem with this man who could indeed be the prince to her Cinderella.
The family dynamics were interesting to read, especially because Tanu's and Raj's family seemed polar opposites. I enjoyed hating the stereotypical evil step-mom, but I had problems getting on board with just how mean one of the step-sisters was. All the puzzle pieces fitted nicely together though. The book turned out to be a shortish, thoroughly entertaining read. I only wish I'd been offered more glimpses of the 70s in India because the story often felt like a contemporary one.
HER PRINCE CHARMING
(Prequel to The Malhotra Bride)
Sundari Venkatraman
It's instantaneous attraction when Tanuja Bhatia from Delhi meets Raj Malhotra from Bombay at the Bombay Central Station.
The mutual attraction soon blossoms into love over the next couple of meetings.
Tanuja and her simple father fail to see the crisis brewing in their own home. Her not-so-nice stepmother Gurinder is totally against the idea of Tanuja meeting her Prince Charming which would make her step-sister Harpreet seriously envious. By the way, Harpreet's main aim in life is to simply make her half-sister miserable.
While Raj's parents and Tanuja's father try to arrange a marriage between the two with a help of a mutual friend, the evil stepmother comes up with a plan of her own—to marry her stepdaughter off to Sonu, a good-for-nothing idiot.
Can Her Prince Charming lift Tanuja out of this life of drudgery and boredom and give her the happiness she deserves?
*A prequel to THE MALHOTRA BRIDE, this book is also available in paperback in India.

Featured - Book Spotlight for "No Safe Zone" by Adite Banerjie
Here's what the author, Adite Banerjie, has to say:
Do authors love some of their own books more than others they have written? Having been a writer for a while now, I believe that every book is special - and I have felt deeply about each of my characters. But if I were to pick that one title that has a special place in my heart, it would be No Safe Zone.
It's a romantic thriller - my first in this genre - which is set in one of my favourite places in the world: Jaipur. It features a feisty heroine Qiara Rana who is an activist and wants to change the world. The hero Kabir Shorey is to die for - an Intelligence Bureau officer who rides a mean motorbike and catches the bad guys! And these two have a history. Can Qiara forgive Kabir for betraying her? Can Kabir overcome his past and do good by Qiara?
Writing this story was a challenge as it was an escapist romance set in a real world. I'm so so happy to bring No Safe Zone out as an e-book. But before that, I have a Cover Reveal... I hope you love the cover as much as I do. It features the beautiful and mysterious Jal Mahal (in Jaipur) which was an inspiration for my story.
London-bred activist Qiara Rana will do anything to save her mentor and their NGO, Girls Rock!, from ruin. Even if it means visiting the city she had vowed never to return to. But within a few hours of landing in New Delhi, she is being chased by a gunman and is a potential suspect in the murder of a high profile businessman. The only person she can turn to for help is Kabir Shorey, the man who stood her up ten years ago.
On a mission to bust an international women's trafficking ring, Intelligence Bureau officer Kabir Shorey runs slam bang into the girl who has tormented his dreams. He is determined to protect her but can he save himself from the all-consuming passions that flare up between them all over again?
As the past and present collide in a deadly plot of crime and greed that moves from the cosmopolitan streets of London and Delhi to the bazaars and villages of Rajasthan, old secrets are ripped away. Treading the fine lines between safety and danger, truth and lies, love and betrayal, Qiara and Kabir discover that in life there is no safe zone.

A to Z of Writing: Titles
A few of my author friends and I have decided to join forces in a blogging challenge. Our A to Z of Writing posts will shine a light on various aspects of being an author. This week, we're focusing on the letters D and E. Please make sure to check out the other blogs. Click here for a list of all blog posts per letter.
T for Titles
What's in a name? Quite a bit – and I don't just mean character names. Together with the cover, the title of a story or novel is what someone sees first. Thus, it can influence whether that person will have a look at further details such as the blurb or whether they will lose interest. So what does that mean, that you have to think of something really strange, special and recognizable? Yes. And no. There are three main factors to take into account when searching for the right title of your book.
1) Genre
Like with covers, it helps if the title gives a first impression of what genre the story, novella or novel is set in. Pick something that is a 'signal word' for what kind of tale you're telling. Examples for romance novels (only a select few) would be: kiss, chance, love, any other words associated with relationships. These signal words can vary from sub-genre to sub-genre. Erotica has other signal words as paranormal romance, just to name two. Popular words to include in romance novel titles are also: billionaire, baby, mate, wedding, shifter, blood, fake… If it fits your sub-genre, mention the setting (city or country) or the type of hero (profession or character) or the one thing that will bring the protagonists together/seems likely to keep them apart at first.
Other genres are just as easy. Crime and mystery favour short titles, sometimes intriguing, at other times deceptively simple. Names are common, such as "XXX's YYY". The YA and NA genres are known for their two-word combinations that hint at fantasy and drama, such as "A XXX of YYY" or in the longer version "A XXX of YYY and ZZZ". One-word titles are popular too, especially in a series of connected books like a trilogy (think "Divergent").
One tip: Careful with this though, it's a fine line between being immediately recognizable to fans of the genre and sinking into oblivion among the masses. Find a way to be similar enough to target the right readership but distinct enough to stick out and maybe even be remembered. Which leads me to a second factor…
2) Continuity
An author is also a brand. Stick to titles that 'ring a bell' and become part of your author brand. This is even more important if you write books as part of series. A good example is Mike Wells who uses series names like Lust, Money & Murder and a volume number (1, 2, 3,) as well as subtitles and trilogy titles that offer additional information regarding each book's plot. That's an instant hook: Fans of the series will immediately recognize a new release, newbies will be intrigued by the overall classification that hints at a high number of connected books of a certain genre.
It doesn't have to be that methodical. If you write romance, for example, keep the same style as you should also keep similar covers within a series or genre. With my Romance Round the World series, I choose book titles like Saved in Sri Lanka, Seduced in Spain, XXX in YYY. With my royal romances, I stick to "The Prince's XXX Bride" and choose different adjectives beginning with S (Special/Stubborn/Surprise/Scandalous). Notice I often rely on alliterations (successive words starting with the same letter) because it flows nicely and because I've made it a 'trademark' of sorts for my author brand.
3) Readability
Don't choose book titles that are too long or complicated. People searching for books tend to have a short attention span AND be bludgeoned to death with choices. Something to the point with a unique twist works if you want a book title that sells well. It's always good to make readers curious, but don't confuse them with 'big' or foreign or made-up words or with titles that differ too much within a series. Curiosity works best with genres like science-fiction and fantasy as well as horror and thrillers. Throw a word or two out there that seem simple but carry a world of hidden meaning, such as "The Sister" or "Room 505" (random examples).
What helps readability is also using a short, attention-grabbing title and an explanatory sub-title which establishes genre (and series connection). It's often done in romance to point out that a book is e.g. about vampires or a popular trope.
Looking for book title ideas?
Browse your genre and/or sub-genre on Amazon or a similar store to check out the competition for some ideas for book titles.
Use book title generators on the internet, which are filled with all kinds of words and create random titles.
Write the shortest possible synopsis of your book or a blurb and pick the main information or use the main character's name. How can you transfer this into a good book title?


Long before the Xbox and PlayStation revolution started, the one name to grace every child's wishlist in the 90's was….you guessed it right…our childhood favorite Nintendo. The Japanese gaming giants used to be a major powerhouse back in the days when handheld gaming devices made famous by Nintendo's very own best selling "Gameboy" franchise which until the last decade or so still remained a fan favorite only to be toppled over by Sony's much more powerful PlayStation portable devices followed by the PlayStation Vita.
With the passage of time, things are again starting to look a little less grim for the Japanese company who in a surprising turn of events, have decided to revitalize its (now struggling) brand with the introduction of its brand new digital content for handheld devices that would include mini games, videos, game news and much much more. The digital content would be made available for multiple platforms including tablets, phablets and smartphones on the Google Play Store sometime later this year.
Iwata has presented a vision in which Nintendo's dedicated gaming hardware exists side-by-side with gaming on phones and tablets, with largely different types of games appealing to different kinds of gamers and different gaming appetites. With this new upcoming service, Nintendo have a good chance to again re-kindle their old glory days once again. Stick around for more details.

Forest Service fighting 56-acre fire at Berners Bay
The Antler Fire burns in grass in a tidal flat area Thursday, May 31, near Berners Bay north of Juneau. U.S. Forest Service personnel are working to suppress the fire. (Photo courtesy U.S. Forest Service)
The U.S. Forest Service is fighting a 56-acre fire along Berners Bay. It doesn't pose a significant threat to anyone or any buildings and the fire itself isn't moving.
Tongass National Forest spokesman Paul Robbins Jr. said the fire, located on the flats where the Antler River meets the bay, was reported Thursday.
"A lot of what's burning is not actually trees or the forest. It's the beach grass or downed trees along the beach," Robbins said.
An Alaska Seaplanes operations manager said their pilots haven't even noticed the fire. Still, Robbins said it's unusual for Southeast.
"It's definitely significant for here," Robbins said. "I mean, around Juneau this year, we've had six fires so far, including this one. But the largest one up until this point was one and half acres, the Lucky Me fire in April. And the rest of them were about a tenth of an acre. So 56 acres is pretty significant for Southeast Alaska."
Robbins said the Forest Service sent eight firefighters from Juneau and Hoonah, who are putting out hot spots and smoldering fires.
Robbins said campfires cause most forest fires he's aware of in Southeast Alaska. But the cause of this fire isn't known yet, he said. There will be an investigation.
Robbins noted the weather's been dryer than usual and urges people to be careful with campfires and to extinguish them properly.

Q: Enabling and Disabling Collider based on direction in Unity I would think this would be simple but for some reason, I can't figure this out. I have 4 child GameObjects around my player, each one with it's own collider. I need to be able to enable and disable the child GameObjects based on the direction the character is moving. So if the player is moving right the left, top and bottom colliders will be disabled leaving just the right collider active. If the Player moves up then the Left, Right, and Bottom colliders will be disabled leaving just the Top collider. And it's the same principle for the other 2 directions. But for some reason, my code works for both the left and right directions, but when my character moves up or down it disables everything except the left collider. Can I get some help? Here is my code:
public BasicNPCPrototype NPCPrototype;
    private bool nearNPC = false;

    public bool facingRight;
    public bool facingUp;

    public GameObject RightCollider;
    public GameObject LeftCollider;
    public GameObject TopCollider;
    public GameObject BottomCollider;

    // Use this for initialization

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    protected override void Update()
    {
        // Call the GetInput Function
        GetInput();

        // Call the CheckIfNear function
        CheckIfNear();

        // Call the CheckDirection function
        CheckDirection();

        // Call the DisableInteractionColliders function
        DisableInteractionColliders();

        base.Update();
    }

    void GetInput()
    {
        if(playerActive)
        {
            direction = Vector2.zero;

            // Get the horizontal Axis and put in the X value of "direction"
            direction.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
            // Get the Vertical Axis and put in the Y value of "direction"
            direction.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        }
    }

    // Look at our movement direction and decide which way were facing
    void CheckDirection()
    {
        if (direction.x > 0)
        {
            facingRight = true;
            facingUp = false;
        }
        else if (direction.x < 0)
        {
            facingRight = false;
            facingUp = false;
        }

        {
            facingUp = true;
            facingRight = false;
        }
        else if (direction.y < 0) // && !facingRight)
        {
            facingUp = false;
            facingRight = false;
        }

    }

    // Look at what direction the Player is facing and disable/enable the correct colliders to account for it
    void DisableInteractionColliders()
    {
        // WIP
        if(facingRight)
        {
            RightCollider.SetActive(true);
            LeftCollider.SetActive(false);
            TopCollider.SetActive(false);
            BottomCollider.SetActive(false);
        } else if(!facingRight)

Ignore the CheckIfNear(); call in teh update function as that's for future plans but it currently empty.

A:     if(facingRight)
    {
        RightCollider.SetActive(true);
        LeftCollider.SetActive(false);
        TopCollider.SetActive(false);

        RightCollider.SetActive(false);
        LeftCollider.SetActive(false);
        TopCollider.SetActive(false);
    }

facingRight is either True or False. This means that your first pair of if statement (if(facingRight) and if(!facingRight)) is always true, so your code never reaches the 3rd if statement and your variable facingUp is never used.
If I were you I would assign used an integer to store the direction and select the colliders using a switch. Like this:
int dir = 0;

void CheckDirection()
{
    if (direction.x > 0)
    {
        dir = 1;
    }
    else if (direction.x < 0)
    {
        dir = 2;
    }

    if (direction.y > 0)
    {
        dir = 3;
    }
    else if (direction.y < 0)
    {
        dir = 4;
    }

}

.
void DisableInteractionColliders()
{
        LeftCollider.SetActive(false);
        RightCollider.SetActive(false);
        TopCollider.SetActive(false);
        BottomCollider.SetActive(false);

        switch(dir)
        {
            case 1: RightCollider.SetActive(true);
                    break;
            case 2: LeftCollider.SetActive(true);
                    break;
            case 3: TopCollider.SetActive(true);
                    break;
            case 4: BottomCollider.SetActive(true);
                    break;

            default: break;
        }

Last Friday was the second installment of a new storytime series in collaboration with Crabtree Farms, highlighting stories, songs, and activities about the local food system and great outdoors. (You can read about the first one HERE.) Being the October month, it's a given that pumpkins are a must. Crabtree Farms doesn't grow pumpkins, BUT their big annual Pumpkin Smash the day after Halloween is fun alternative to recycling Jack-o-Lanterns. So, the theme for this month's Farm Stand Storytime was "Pumpkins & Compost".
I put them in my lap.
The Wondering Box: Then I brought out the Wondering Box. The box was as closed as it could be (my pie pumpkin was too big) and asked the kids, "I wonder what is in the Wondering Box? Shall we look inside?". They all yelled back that we should! I faced the box towards me, peak inside and shut it. I do this again. And then I looked surprised, opened it all the way, and turn it around for all to see. As I do this, (and they all yell "pumpkin!") I explain to the audience that it is a pumpkin and that today we are going to be sharing stories and learning about the life cycle of pumpkins as well as composting, which we will talk about later in the storytime. First, PUMPKINS!
First I read Mystery Vine, my absolute favorite book about pumpkins for all ages. It's just the right amount of information about the life cycle of a pumpkin without being too long for the younger kids. It's also a mystery and who doesn't love a mystery?! At my old library, we had a prop for this book my former coworkers, Jenny and Linda, made (see HERE) based off of the author's creation (see HERE), but since I'm at a new library I decided to make my own. It was a few late nights in the making when the kids were in bed, but was 110% worth it. As I read the book, every time there is mention of the vine growing, I pull a little of the vine out of the pot until it's time to reveal what the vine is growing: pumpkins! I make a big deal, put down the book, and pull out the pumpkins. The kids love watching the vine grow before their eyes and they all gasped when the pumpkins came out.
I was a little nervous to attempt making this prop, because I can barely sew a button but it did the job. I made my Mystery Vine using green cording, flannel, thread, pipe cleaners, and lots of hot glue. The dirt is hot glued to a plastic pot that I purchased on clearance. The leaves were cut from various pumpkin leaf templates I found online and I made the pumpkins using this method stuffed with plastic bags. There is also a piece of velcro on the bottom interior that the vine can attach to. The pumpkins were both stiched and hot glued and everything else was hand-sewn onto the vine. Credit props to my husband for helping me cut the leaves, my mom, who was visiting for the weekend, for helping sew, and Cathryn Falwell for sending helpful hints and suggestions on how to make it!
Next we said the pumpkin chant which was written by my dear friend Jane Johnston and is delightfully fun! You say this chant/action rhyme to the rhythm of PAT PAT, CLAP CLAP, PAT PAT so that it sounds like this: Pumpkin (pat pat), Pumpkin (clap clap), Pumpkin (pat pat) bread (action- hold hands flat in front)…..
Pick a Circle, Gather Squares: A Fall Harvest of Shapes by Felicia Sanzari Chernesky, illustrated by Susan Swan This is a wonderful book about looking closely at one's surroundings. One October day, two siblings notice shapes all around during their day on the farm. Below is a flannel board I made to use while reading this book. Every time a shape was mentioned in the story I would point to a shape on the flannel board and ask the crowd if that was the shape mentioned. I always pointed to the wrong shape at first to make it a game.
The kids had a good ol' time helping me pair the shapes in the story to the flannel shapes. When I finished reading I made a point to tell kids and their grownups that finding shapes is a game you can play on the farm, in a park, or at home. Shapes are everywhere!
What is "Compost"?: Next, I asked the kids again what shape a pumpkin is, if they have ever seen what happens to a Jack-o-Lantern that wasn't thrown away in the trash, and then I showed them pictures of a decomposing pumpkin (photo credit: Gifts of Curiosity). The first picture I showed was a picture of a 1-week old Jack-o-Lantern and I asked them if the pumpkin looked like a circle to them. Then, I showed them the picture of a 2-week old Jack-o-Lantern and we made the observation that the top had fallen in and the insides were not orange anymore. I showed them the a picture of a 3-week old pumpkin and we talked about how it looks "squiggly" and "shrinking". I explained that decomposition means the pumpkin is decaying, rotting into the ground. Last, I showed the picture of the same Jack-o-Lantern after 4 weeks. The pumpkin is almost flat! Then I told the audience that decomposing Jack-o-Lanterns are great items to use for composting. Composting is a cheap, effective and environmentally friendly method of producing compost from all different types of materials to create a fertilizer to help plants grow!
Compost Stew: An A to Z Recipe for the Earth by Mary McKenna Siddals, illustrated by Washley Wolff The last book we read is Compost Stew, a wonderful introduction to composting and all the items that can be used to make compost. Asked the kids to get out their imaginary pots, because they are going to help make compost stew! I had a real pot (that contained fresh items for compost inside… Shhhh) and pretended along with the kids everytime an item was mentioned in the book, throwing that item in the pot.
Once we arrived to the end of the book, we stirred our pot (they pretended, I actually stirred with a wooden spoon), moistened with a watering can (pretend again), and then at the last line, "…Now open the pot and what have you got?" We all yelled "COMPOST STEW" and I showed them the real compost in my pot.
That's a wrap for the latest installment of the Farm Stand Storytime series. If you have any Thanksgiving/being thankful/November season book suggestions, please let me know. Feast for 10 is a must, but am looking for some new material for the next Farm Stand Storytime. It will be the last one until spring!
Great job with the pumpkin vine! And thanks for sharing "Mystery Vine"! Happy Halloween!
What imaginative activities! Thanks so much for including my COMPOST STEW in your innovative "Pumpkins & Compost" storytime. I'm delighted to see the kids digging in with such enthusiasm! Well done!

LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland � Ted Ligety capped his dominant season in giant slalom with a sixth World Cup victory Saturday, fueling comparisons with the best GS skier in history.
The American skier joined Ingemar Stenmark as the only men in the 47-year World Cup history to get six GS victories in a season. Stenmark�s 10-race sweep in 1978-79 is the record.
Ligety�s 17 career World Cup wins in his specialist event are a long way from Stenmark�s 46, though the latest came with similar authority.
He raced smoothly down the steep slope in a two-run time of 2 minutes, 14.76 seconds, beating overall World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher by 0.37 seconds.
Hirscher was runner-up to Ligety for the fourth time, and French prospect Alexis Pinturault trailed by 1.16 in third.
The 28-year-old Ligety had three previous GS discipline titles, but this was his best season yet and included three world championship gold medals.
His six World Cup wins came from eight races, and he placed third in the other two, won by Hirscher and Pinturault.
He also broke 1,000 World Cup points overall and will finish third in the standings. Both are career bests.
Ligety completed an American victory double in glorious sunshine at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide. One hour earlier, Mikaela Shiffrin delivered a come-from-behind victory to edge Tina Maze for the women�s slalom title.
That ensured that �The Star Spangled Banner� was played four times in quick succession for the crowd of 9,000 spectators.
Ligety�s superiority was helped by his ability to adapt best to equipment changes introduced for this season with longer and stiffer skis meant to make the discipline safer.
Some had predicted it would also make the GS races less exciting, but Ligety defied those critics by delivering some of the most dynamic skiing seen all season in any discipline.
LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland � Mikaela Shiffrin cried and left Tina Maze in tears. A thrilling climax to the World Cup slalom season delivered all its promised drama Saturday.
The victorious Shiffrin, the American teenage sensation of Alpine skiing, fell to her knees when Maze couldn�t match her astonishing second run that wrapped up an improbable come-from-behind win.
After letting what seemed certain success slip away, the 29-year-old Slovenian � who had one of the best World Cup seasons � sobbed on the sideline as Shiffrin paraded her trophy.
Hardly. It was a winner-take-all contest that Shiffrin must surely have lost after gifting Maze a massive 1.17 seconds lead in the first run.
Instead, Shiffrin scorched the sunbathed Swiss slope to set an unbeatable mark and overcome her rival. A world championships gold medalist last month at 17 is now a World Cup title champion.


Plant one bulb to a 6-inch pot filled with a loose potting mix ture which barely covers the bulb. Water and place in a location where it will receive gentle bottom heat and low light intensity.
Once growth is observed, move it into defused light for several days so the new tender growth is not scorched. Then place in an area with 3 to 4 hours of sun light to grow on and flower. Water sparingly until growth starts, then keep well watered and fertilized in a warm room through period of active growth.
Feed with a general -purpose, liquid house plant fertilizer. They like being moved outside for the summer grow on. As the plant completes its growth cycle and begins to go dormant, gradually withhold water. Most Zantedeschias need a 3 month dormancy, but Z. aethiopica can be grown continuously without rest. Above Zone 8, bring indoors for winter.
In warmer areas, they may be grown as a garden bulb and left in the ground over winter. A site with good drainage should be selected and the soil well enriched with organic matter. They like full sun further north and half shade in Zones 9 and 10.
Plant bulbs with about 3 to 4 inches of soil over the top of the bulb, setting bulbs 12 or more inches apart. A winter mulch is recommended in Zone 7.
After first blooms fade, cut the blossom stalks off at the base to encour age reblooming. Keep well fertilized and watered during growth. Where it isn't hardy, dig bulbs in fall, dry for several days, and store in a box or paper bag in dry peat moss or dry potting soil at 40-50°F for the winter.


Challenging surprises often lead to unexpected joy. Amy Julia opens eyes and softens hearts as she brings readers into her own story of disappointment turned to blessing. This is a journey of discovering strength through weakness, and the author learns to embrace the face that we are all dependent on God and one another. This books will inspire readers who appreciate beautiful writing coupled with deep insights about life and faith.


A thematic wedding can be frugal, simple, and above all, entertaining. So, if you are planning a carnival-themed wedding, here are a few pointers to keep in mind to make it a memorable event.
A wedding is more of a party, than the attention it seeks for being an important ritual. So, why be so formal about it? If it is supposed to be a party, then it is supposed to be full of fun and frolic. Hosting a carnival-themed wedding is the perfect way of adding this dash of energy.
It is a great way of reducing your expenses of a conventional wedding ceremony, and saving up for a grand honeymoon, or for setting up your new home.
Planning a carnival-themed wedding is, in some ways, simpler than planning a regular wedding. The theme largely decides the things you will need, the decorations for the venue, items, people to be hired, and most importantly, the menu gets a lot more frugal. A thematic approach as such will prove to be a huge cost saver too.
The effects of a thematic wedding must extend to its every aspect. And your wedding invites are no exception. Ditch the conventional invites, and think a little out of the box.
Remember how carnivals were announced in the good old times with posters? Well, that is your answer! Print posters instead of invitation cards to announce your wedding ceremony to near and dear ones. This will set the mood much in advance.
Decorations can make the theme come alive. These interesting details add to the festivities and the celebrations.
Set up a carnival tent, use a lot of balloons, replace flower centerpieces with candies, use colorful bunting, and keep the decor as casual as possible so that the place seems carnivalesque.
Entertainment is synonymous with carnival. Also, the very basis of a memorable time at weddings is how entertaining it turns out to be.
So, bring out the carnival theme at your wedding with the iconic clowns, a mysterious crystal ball reader, the dreamy carousel, and let's not forget, the vintage cotton candy machine, to charge up your guests.
We often see the soon-to-be bride and groom fighting over menu plans. A carnival-themed wedding party saves you this trouble. With limited options like popcorn, cupcakes, colorful Popsicle, and quick snacks, there is hardly much to argue about.
Wedding favors are a way of showing your gratitude to all those who have made your day so special. Giving away these keepsakes also makes your guests cherish your special day for some time to come.
A jar full of candies, gift-wrapped macaroons, and soft toys that are usually won at the carnival games, are some of the favors that can add to the wedding theme.
Get a little creative with your signage too. Pull out the blackboard from your attic, and put it up as a signboard in your garden.
The chalk calligraphy that we practiced way back in school will come in handy now. Get as decorative as possible with your wedding signage, instead of printing the regular ones.
A lot of people spend their life's earning on hosting a grand wedding party. A lot is spent and a lot is given away, with things expected in return. But, what we forget in the midst of this ride is that a party is not the wedding. It is a mere start.
A sort of a valedictorian event to mark an exit of your bachelorhood, and an entry into a bigger scheme of things. Thus, planning a carnival-themed wedding party, can be a perfect way to embark on your new adventure. Not only is it a cost-effective option, but also a fun-filled one. And above all, it is the true symbolic representation of what lies ahead!

Chasing Davies: If I Were Shopping...I'd Be Shopping at Boden!
If I Were Shopping...I'd Be Shopping at Boden!
I'm doing really good on my shopping band! Not bought a thing, not even groceries! Ok, well, groceries aren't part of the challenge...just anything fashion-wise, clothing, shoes, jewelry - anything I don't need to live a proper life (for 1 month)! And I actually do need groceries. So I should get to the store, I'm sick of eating Girl Scout Cookies, Frozen Pizza, Apple Sauce and Popcorn for dinner. But it's snowy out, like really snowy.
Anyways. If I WERE shopping for the fun stuff - I'd be hitting up Boden's clearance section!! Have you heard of Boden or shopped there before? I just randomly received a little catalog in the mail (no idea how they found me), never have heard of them before, I then went online to check out the clothes...and found A LOT I liked.
They also have tons of great stuff on sale. It's killing me not to buy...but I did some looking! Here is what I would buy, if I could.
This wool skirt would be perfect for work and play. One of my favorite colors!
Either way you wear these, rolled up or down, they look so comfy! I want to sink my feet in these sheepskin boots!
So have you shopped at Boden before?? What is your experience like? You know, for when I can shop again... I'll be coming back to Boden!

Indiana Debate Commission Announces Moderators for the October Gubernatorial Debates
By IDCadmin | September 28, 2020 | 2020, Debate, homeslider, News | No Comments
The Indiana Debate Commission has selected two Hoosier academics as moderators of its upcoming gubernatorial debates scheduled in October.
Andrew Downs, associate professor of political science at Purdue University Fort Wayne (PFW) and board member of the commission, will moderate Tuesday, October 20. Downs is the first director of PFW's Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics, a nonpartisan organization that helps people understand the role of politics and government in their daily lives.
Nadia E. Brown, associate professor and University Faculty Scholar of political science and African American Studies at Purdue University, will moderate Tuesday, October 27. Brown is the author of the award-winning "Sisters in the Statehouse: Black Women and Legislative Decision Making" and the lead editor of "Politics, Groups and Identities."
Both debates will be broadcast live from WFYI in Indianapolis and air from 7-8 p.m. Eastern.
As is the practice with all commission debates going back to 2008, the questions come from the public. Voters can submit their questions for consideration on the commission's website www.indianadebatecommission.com through Thursday, October 15.
Nadia Brown
Because of public health restrictions related to COVID-19, both debates will be conducted without live audiences. However, voters whose questions have been selected by the commission may be able to ask their questions via pre-taped video.
The commission, through its broadcast partner, will provide a live broadcast feed and web stream to news media outlets across Indiana for viewers statewide. In addition, Hoosiers will be able to view the debates via live stream on the Indiana Debate Commission website and YouTube channel.
The major underwriter for this year's two debates is AARP Indiana.
