'Lighted cross' issue: Penang gov't awaiting explanation from developer
Bernama | Published: 2019-01-12 22:54:43+08:00
The Penang government is still awaiting a report from the State Secretary's office over the lighting issue at an apartment building in Jelutong which allegedly portrayed the image of a 'cross'.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the residential project had yet to acquire a Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC) and that the developer was currently testing the facilities, including the lighting system.
"We have yet to get an explanation from the developer on why the lights were lit up in such a manner, but in the next picture when more lights were switched on, it shows a normal view or facade.
"I believe this is not a place of worship or church, but an apartment building," he told reporters after opening the 'Evolve Final Year 2019' exhibition organised by KDU Penang University College in George Town today.
Recently, the image of an apartment building in Jelutong which featured a cross sign using lights lit up at the building caused displeasure among some residents in the nearby area. It is understood that they have also lodged a police report on the matter.
Yesterday, Penang mufti Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, in a statement, urged the local authorities to direct the developer of the housing project to change the position of the lights in the building so that they do not form the sign of a cross.
Chow said he did not feel it was something done deliberately to hurt people's feelings, but rather described it as part of the 'built environment' in the country.
A built environment refers to the human-made surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, ranging in scale from buildings to parks.
However, he reminded all parties to respect the sensitivities of others, and have mutual understanding.

The Walking Dead Season 6 finale
So, today is supposed to be MMGM, but like most of the world, I was watching the Season 6 finale of The Walking Dead tonight, and I totally forgot to get a post ready.
Whoever died has got to be a major character. Someone who's death would have a huge impact on the other characters and have enough pay off to be the basis for season 7. So, I'm taking out the minor characters including, though many disagree with me based on what Twitter is saying, Abraham. I just don't think his character's death would leave too many people heartbroken.
Now, I also don't think it is either Rick or Carl. Why would Negan mention cutting out Carl's eye and feeding it to Rick if they weren't still going to be alive? Glen? No, I don't think so. He is the number one Twitter favorite because he is the guy who dies in the comics, but really, the TV show doesn't follow the comics spot on, plus we already had the Glen scare at the beginning of the season. That leaves us with two main characters: Maggie and Michonne.
My pick is Michonne. Why? Because Maggie is already on death's door and Negan seems like the kind of guy who would go after a healthy victim, someone he can take brutal pleasure in killing.
I don't think going over the episode ending and figuring out who he was doing eenie meenie minnie moe to would work, the producers would have been all over mixing that up.
What do you think? #Whoisit?

Dmitri Valerievich Tertyshny (; December 26, 1976 – July 23, 1999) was a Russian professional ice hockey defenceman who played one season in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Philadelphia Flyers and four seasons in Russia for Traktor Chelyabinsk.

Playing career
After spending a year with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the CIS/Russian League, Tertyshny was selected in the sixth round with the Flyers' #132 overall draft pick in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. He spent three more seasons with Chelyabinsk before joining the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1998–99 season.

Fatal accident
On July 23, 1999, during the offseason after his rookie NHL campaign, Tertyshny was on a boating trip to Okanagan Lake in British Columbia with two players from the Flyers' minor-league affiliate Philadelphia Phantoms, Francis Belanger and Mikhail Chernov, when he suffered fatal injuries in a freak accident. Tertyshny fell forward out of the boat after it hit a wave, the boat ran over him, and its propeller slashed his neck and his jugular vein.

Owning a boat can be a rewarding experience. Many people have wonderful memories of boating. However, owning a boat is a financial responsibility. The best way to address this responsibility is to purchase boat insurance.
Property insurance has two components consisting of first party and third party coverages. First party coverages protect the financial interest the owner has in the property itself. Third party coverages protect the owner from financial exposure presented by others in the form of liability claims.
Boats are subject to perils that can result in damage. Collisions with boats and marine structures, vandalism, theft, fire and weather-related losses are all possibilities. If your boat is financed, you'll need to have insurance to protect the lender. Once a boat is paid for, you'll need to decide if the boat's value warrants continued physical damage coverage.
Coverage to protect the investment of a boat owner is often referred to as hull or hull and machinery insurance. Such insurance protects the boat, equipment affixed to the boat, and items such as life vests and safety equipment. Your hull insurance won't cover everything. Personal property taken on boating excursions and then removed generally falls under homeowners coverage.
As a boat owner, you're responsible for its operation. This can lead to liability claims against you. Damage to another boat or property at a marina can result in a property damage liability claim. If injuries occur on your boat, you can be faced with bodily injury liability claims.
Liability coverage is purchased by limits known as single or split limits. If you purchase $300,000 single limit coverage, the most available to pay claims related to an occurrence would be $300,000. If you purchase split limits of 100/300, the most any one claim would be insured for would be $100,000. If there are multiple claims from one occurrence, all claims are limited to a grand total of $300,000.
Owning a boat is a rewarding experience but financial responsibility comes with ownership. Understanding boat insurance and making sure that you have adequate coverage is the first step to enjoying life on the water.


The apostle Paul got rightfully angry with the Galatian Christians who had fallen away from grace, because they were attempting to earn favor with God by their own behavior. The problem was, they already had perfect favor! They already had every blessing! Jesus had given it to them—in full. To believe otherwise was to believe a lie and to give themselves to that lie through their efforts. That's how people get twisted and disappointed. Have you noticed?
Believing that we have to tithe, pray, worship, sing, witness, fast, or love in order to gain favor with God is anti-Christ. Doing something apart from Jesus in order to get what He presumably failed to secure is not only worthless, it is against the truth. That's awful. For the Galatian Christians to add Jewish customs or ceremonies or rule-keeping to a supposed required mix was to put themselves under a curse!
In other words, by faith in Jesus, we get the Holy Spirit and everything that He brings with Him. You would be wise to assume that He doesn't lack anything.
Every other hope with God, any other obligation-based hope with God is shadow living—it's performing in the dark!—even though the reality has come (Colossians 2:16-17).
In Christ—which is where we are now—we have how many things? All things. That's the incredible gospel we love! That's the stunning New Covenant. And that's why we're crazy in love with Jesus. We're out in the open about it! No one's hiding this. We want to tell everyone, and we want to remind those who have forgotten and been lured back into the shadows. Come on out of there! No more performing in the darkness! Lies will have you there, and we won't be a part of that; neither will God.
Because of Jesus, we have it all. And that's all, folks.

Succeeding on Instagram is like anything in life – what you put in is what you get out. While some experts will tell you that there are hacks, a lot of it is crap (just keeping it real). Aside from using beautiful photography and utilizing an effective hashtag strategy the name of the game on Instagram is being consistent. The purpose of this post is to offer 7 techniques you should execute on nearly every post – these consistent practices will help you grow exponentially!
Engagement is usually strong on questions like this as it gives your audience permission to show off to their social network that they've done something as remarkable as skydiving.
Execute this strategy on Instagram. Ask questions in your posts to get more engagement from your audience. Don't worry if engagement starts out a little slow, there's a sweet spot and you'll figure it out!
In life, we all like to be acknowledged and know we're being heard. It's no different on social and especially with Instagram.
If you get a new follower, send them a direct message thanking them for the follow – an even better technique would be to give feedback on what you like about their account whether it be with their content or photography. Simply giving minimal feedback is not as impactful – show your follower that you see them and like what they're doing.
This is an effective technique to help not lose followers by acknowledging those showing an interest in your content.
Do you like to be ignored? Nope. None of us do. If someone comments on your page – comment back. Be social on social media. If you don't make time for your audience, they won't have time for you and eventually will unfollow you.
The purpose for most business Instagram accounts is to grow their brand by building their audience – to keep your community together, you have to interact with them.
A great Instagram technique is to comment on any accounts that interest you, but keep it real! If you use the same comment on lots of posts, it will seem disingenuous and your audience will begin to notice. To be social and make lots of friends in real life, you wouldn't say the same thing to everyone you meet… that would be weird! If you've not noticed, following the traits of good social norms in normal life on Instagram is the best guidebook.
A great technique to capture the attention of those that you'd like to have following you is to send a signal of interest. Like several of their posts and then follow them. A good strategy is to follow hashtags (a wonderful Instagram feature) and engage with those that follow hashtags that intersect with your targeted audience which is men and women between the ages of 25 and 44 who generally like being outdoors or who live active lifestyles. Good hashtags to follow (for the Charlotte, NC market) would be something like #charlotteoutdoors or #charlottemarathon or #charlotterunning etc.
Would you like your audience to take an action on your page whether it be to tag a friend, or a company or click on your bio link to an article on your website… If you don't tell your audience what action you'd like them to take, then they won't do it. Get comfortable with asking your audience to take an action.
Be a magnet where you're at the center of providing value. If you have a follower that should follow another Instagram user, connect these people together. Once again, just as in real life, if you provide value to people, your audience will grow.
Provide value on Instagram, connect people and be consistent in your content output, be strategic with your hashtags and be social, (really, really social) and you'll win the day!

On October 31st, 2017, Exchange Online mailboxes in Office 365 will require connections from Outlook for Windows to use MAPI over HTTP - the updated method of connectivity and transport between Outlook for Windows and Exchange. Therefore, Outlook for Windows clients that use RPC over HTTP (for example, Outlook 2007) will no longer be able to access their Exchange Online mailboxes.
This change affects you if you're running Outlook 2007 because it doesn't work with MAPI over HTTP. To continue to have email connectivity, Outlook 2007 customers will need to update to a newer version of Outlook or use Outlook on the web. This change may also affect you if you're running Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010 as you must make sure that you have the latest cumulative update installed for the version of Office you're using.
RPC over HTTP, also known as Outlook Anywhere, is a legacy method of connectivity and transport between Outlook for Windows and Exchange. In May 2014, Microsoft introduced MAPI over HTTP as a replacement for RPC over HTTP as it improves the connection resiliency, enables more secure sign-in scenarios, provides extensibility foundation for third-party identity providers and removes the complexity of RPC over HTTP dependency on legacy RPC technology.
Quite simply, if you are currently using Office 2007 in your business you should look to upgrade immediately even if you are not using Exchange Online or Office 365. Office 2007 is now 10 years out of date and features, usability and security have all vastly improved in newer versions.
The necessary action depends on the version of Outlook in use in your organization and we recommend that you get in touch with us as soon as you can to discuss your requirements.
For more information and advice on the best course of action to take for your business, please contact your Net Technical Solutions Account Manager on their DDI, via their email or through our main number, 01252 235 235.

Ester Ledecka's historic, picture-perfect Olympics was missing just one person
MLB columnist
Yahoo Sports February 24, 2018, 1:00 PM UTC
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea – Another course conquered, another field slayed, another gold medal cinched, Ester Ledecka wanted to memorialize the history she just made. At the bottom of the parallel giant slalom snowboarding course in Phoenix Snow Park, she wrapped her left arm around the shoulder of her coach Justin Reiter. Cameras snapped. Then Reiter turned to Ledecka and reminded her someone was missing.
"We need one for Erich," he said.
She nodded, and they tiptoed away from one another, still touching arms, far enough apart for someone to stand between them. That was supposed to be Erich Pramsohler, Ledecka and Reiter's coach, who was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. He stepped aside, Reiter retired from his alpine snowboarding career to take over and Saturday afternoon he found himself at the epicenter of an all-time-great Olympics achievement.
Ledecka, the bubbly 22-year-old from the Czech Republic who faced mountains of doubt in her efforts to snowboard and ski race at an elite level, carved her final path through it with a dominant win in the PGS race. Coupled with her shocking Super-G gold on the alpine mountain a week earlier, Ledecka secured her place as the first woman ever to win gold in two sports at the same Winter Olympics. And seeing as the others were cross-country skiers who doubled in biathlon, a sport that is mostly cross-country skiing, calling Ledecka's feat the single most impressive of the PyeongChang Games is no exaggeration.
All ski and snowboard racing have in common is snow and downhill slopes. They use different equipment. They travel different speeds. They rely upon different muscles. Ledecka is the frosted-over version of Bo Jackson – or, as The Washington Post's Adam Kilgore called her, Snow Jackson.
And at the heart of it was Pramsohler, a former racer from Italy who for a year stewarded the team of Ledecka and three American men, Reiter, Robby Burns and Mike Trapp. With alpine snowboarding defunded by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, American riders sought refuge elsewhere. For two-time gold medalist Vic Wild, it was Russia. For Reiter, Burns and Trapp, it was with Ledecka and Pramsohler.
"He had the best attitude for every day of training, every day of racing and everyday life," Trapp said. "It's unfortunate he got sick and that he couldn't be here today. He's just got this personality that everything is gonna be all right."
It was Saturday. Ledecka cruised through the first two qualifying rounds and found little competition in her final four races, in which two riders race side-by-side down the same course, snaking in and out of gates. The closest to Ledecka was silver medalist Selina Joerg, and even she finished .46 seconds back, an eternity in PGS.
"Since I was 5 years old, I was thinking about to get to the Olympics and win golds," Ledecka said. "But a lot of people were telling me through this way that it is not possible to do both sports and to be on a high level in both sports. And today, I proved it is possible."
(EFE)
The emergence of the possibility itself came from a Super-G win so unexpected NBC declared Anna Veith the gold medalist and cut away from Ledecka's run until an oopsie-daisy correction. The network wasn't the only one: Ledecka herself stood slack-jawed at the foot of the hill, certain the electronic timer that placed her one-hundredth of a second ahead of Veith was off. It wasn't.
And while Ledecka chafed at the idea of skiing the downhill – her best event – she couldn't deny the effect of the Super-G on her snowboard training. Had Ledecka run only the PGS, the entirety of her month would have been devoted to snowboarding. In reality she had less than a week. Issues cropped up. On the day before the race, Ledecka fell twice in practice runs, a death sentence in PGS racing. All the nerves evaporated by Saturday, when Ledecka declared herself ready to race.
"She's a special person, man," Reiter said. "She's once in a lifetime."
He's known that for years, and Pramsohler learned quickly, too. On Friday, he called Reiter to talk about the race, and as soon as Ledecka crossed the finish line in the finals, he dropped a congratulatory text to Reiter. Ledecka, asked about Pramsohler last week, said: "I'm sorry. I can't talk about that." And it wasn't that she couldn't. It just hurt.
Typically, Ledecka is full of glee. Trapp loves to tell the story about the time Ledecka found out he was engaged. "So," she asked him and his now-wife Kelly, "when are the kids coming?" They laughed. They had no idea. "Well," Ledecka said, "I'll be your child!" Trapp, now 29, and Kelly looked at one another. "You are my diddy," Ledecka said to Trapp, and then she turned to Kelly and said: "You are my mummy!" When Ledecka won the Super-G and saw Trapp, she yelled: "Diddy!"
On Saturday, she was equal parts funny and charming. She credited her real mummy, Zuzana, with encouraging her to stick with snowboarding and skiing. Then Ledecka thanked her for coming to PyeongChang, since Zuzana hates flying. "She has taken many drugs to get here," Ledecka said, "and she will need to take many drugs to get back to Czech."
As was the case after the Super-G, Ledecka didn't take off her goggles. Her rationale in skiing: She didn't expect to win, so she didn't put on makeup that morning. There was no makeup Saturday, either. "I woke up very early," Ledecka said.
She is used to long days. Doing two sports as well as anyone in the world professionally takes immense work and dedication. The plan is for Ledecka to return to Prague for two days, then head back onto the snowboarding World Cup circuit for a meet in Turkey. It is endless, twice as much as necessary – and twice as gratifying, too, even if Ledecka doesn't realize it.
When it was mentioned that her accomplishments were the best in PyeongChang, she didn't even seem to consider it a possibility. Yes, France's Martin Fourcade has one more gold than her. It's in biathlon, which can be grueling and exacting but, well, Ledecka is hurtling herself down mountains, not ski-running and sniping fixed targets. As for anyone else: They do one sport. Snow Jackson does two. Seems pretty simple: She is the athlete of PyeongChang.
"What?" Ledecka said, her incredulity genuine. "I don't think so, no. There are the greatest athletes in the world here."
She's the one with two golds, she was reminded.
"Yeah, whatever," Ledecka said.
It was the first time she sounded like a stereotypical snowboarder, and for Ester Ledecka, that's no insult. It's a reminder of who she is and what she wants to do and how this all happened. It is one goal, two golds and three people who deserved to celebrate together and got the closest to it they could.

This blog post, by Leslie Lingaas Woodward, was first published by The California School Boards Association.
The International Dyslexia Association of Northern California, along with Learning Ally and Decoding Dyslexia, CA are sponsoring a day-long program on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, CA.
The event, Dyslexia and AB 1369: School and Community Partnership & Critical Next Steps, will begin with IDA's popular Experience Dyslexia® simulation, a group activity that gives a hands-on sense of the classroom challenges these students confront. An afternoon panel of dyslexia experts, former members of the Dyslexia Guidelines working group, teachers and school administrators will share ways to implement guideline recommendations, drawing on examples from San Francisco Bay Area school districts.
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting up to 20 percent of the population. This means that, statistically, every classroom in California has several students with dyslexia who struggle to acquire literacy skills.
In 2015, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1369, which required that the California Department of Education create state Dyslexia Guidelines to assist teachers and parents in identifying, assessing and supporting these students. The guidelines were developed with input from an expert working group and published in August 2017.
Dyslexia is a type of neurobiological diversity characterized by problems with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding. Contrary to common myth, people with dyslexia do not see things backwards, but they find it hard to associate word sounds (phonemes) with the proper letter symbol (graphemes). Dyslexia is not related to intelligence and there are many bright students with the condition. Dyslexia can be inherited — often a child with dyslexia has a parent with this learning difference.
The underlying brain differences that characterize dyslexia can be discerned at an early age with imaging tests such as functional magnetic resonance imaging. These same imaging tests show that the neural patterns characteristic of dyslexia can change with evidence-based instructional interventions.
The state guidelines recommend "Structured Literacy" for all students with dyslexia. This term has been adopted by the International Dyslexia Association and other groups to describe evidence-based instructional approaches that teach students explicit and systematic strategies for decoding and spelling words. IDA has published Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading to help guide classroom and special education teachers in acquiring these skills.
The achievement gap between students with dyslexia and typical readers is apparent by first grade. For this reason, the Dyslexia Guidelines recommend universal screening to identify at-risk students, beginning in kindergarten. Screening should cover such areas as phonemic awareness and rapid naming, both strong predictors of dyslexia. Universal screening is a key piece of a Multi-tiered System of Support and is the first step in identifying which students may need Structured Literacy. Screening should also include English learners, as these students are just as likely as native speakers to have dyslexia. The state guidelines list options for screening tools. Others are under development, including one from the UCSF Dyslexia Center.
Leslie Lingaas Woodward is a past president and current advisory board member of IDA Northern California. She is a Bay Area-based freelance writer and Structured Literacy tutor.
Learning Ally's human-narrated audiobooks are listed in the new California Dyslexia Guidelines (CDG) as a recommended reading accommodation by the California DOE.

LimoLiner, Inc., Plaintiff, Appellant, v. Dattco, Inc., Defendant, Appellee.
Before Kayatta, Stahl, and Barron, Circuit Judges. Robert E. Curtis, Jr., North Andover, MA, James Steven Singer, Rudolph Friedmann LLP, Boston, MA, for Plaintiff, Appellant. Brian O'Donnell, Reid and Reige PC, Hartford, CT, Christopher Shaw Williams, Boston, MA, for Defendant, Appellee.
This case concerns a dispute between a luxury motor coach company, LimoLiner, Inc., and the company LimoLiner engaged to repair one of its coaches, Dattco, Inc. In our prior opinion in this case, we disposed of all the claims at issue in LimoLiner's appeal from an order entered after a four-day bench trial, save for certain ones that pertain to Chapter 93A of the Massachusetts General Laws. LimoLiner, Inc. v. Dattco, Inc., 809 F.3d 33, 42 (1st Cir. 2015). In particular, in our prior opinion, we declined to resolve LimoLiner's challenge to the ruling below that Dattco was not liable for damages under Chapter 93A because Dattco was not subject to certain Massachusetts state regulations prohibiting unfair or deceptive practices by auto-repair shops. Id. at 36–38. Because those regulations were promulgated pursuant to the Attorney General's authority under Chapter 93A, a violation of the regulations constitutes a per se violation of Chapter 93A. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A, § 2; 940 C.M.R. § 3.16(3).
The ruling in question rested on the determination that those regulations—940 C.M.R. §§ 5.05(2), (3), and (5)—apply only to transactions between individual customers and auto-repair shops, and not to auto-repair transactions initiated by businesses like LimoLiner. Recognizing the importance of the regulations and the absence of controlling Massachusetts precedent as to their application to businesses rather than to noncommercial customers, we certified to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court the question of whether Section 5.05, including the subsections relevant to this appeal, applies to "transactions in which the customer is a business entity." Id. at 38.
The SJC has now answered the certified question in the affirmative by holding that Section 5.05 "was intended to apply to inter-business transactions." LimoLiner, Inc. v. Dattco, Inc., 475 Mass. 420, 423, 57 N.E.3d 969 (2016). In consequence, the order finding that Dattco was not liable under Chapter 93A due to alleged violations of Section 5.05 can no longer be sustained on the legal basis on which it rests. And, although LimoLiner contends in its briefing to us that we can reverse, at least in part, the order finding that Dattco is not liable on the ground that the Magistrate Judge found that certain repairs LimoLiner requested were "not recorded in [Dattco's] written list of repairs," we decline to do so, particularly given that Dattco appears to dispute the relevance of this finding of fact to the issue of Dattco's liability under Chapter 93A for alleged violations of Section 5.05.1 That dispute, and any others that may be germane to what remains of the suit, is best resolved in the first instance on remand. See Town of Barnstable v. O'Connor, 786 F.3d 130, 143 (1st Cir. 2015) (declining "to decide questions of law upon which the district court has itself not yet focused or addressed other than in passing").
For the reasons stated in our December 23, 2015 opinion, we affirm the Magistrate Judge's disposition of the parties' state-law contract claims. In light of the SJC's answer to our certified question, we vacate the portion of the Magistrate Judge's findings of fact and conclusions of law holding that Dattco was not subject to 940 C.M.R. § 5.05, and therefore was not liable for violations of Chapter 93A, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. LimoLiner's motion for further orders is, accordingly, granted in part and denied in part. We award no costs under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 39(a)(4).


I've been to Umami burger before- both in LA and this Oakland location. I've always thought it was so good! The plan was to go have burgers before a show in downtown Oakland. When we ordered drinks- they were terrible. I ordered a spicy margarita that arrived in a martini glass and tasted like cranberry juice and jalapeño. Then my sunny side up burger- requested to be cooked medium- was well done- both the patty and the egg. Who wants an over cooked egg on a sunny side burger? Isn't the whole point to have yolk running everywhere? Our waitress was sweet and very pregnant so I didn't say anything and we still tipped normal... but I will not be going back.


Navagraha Homam is a powerful ritual devoted to the nine planets of the Solar System. It is performed to gratify the planets who are the sole reason behind all the contentment and misfortunes taking place in a person's life. The term, Navagraha itself denotes the nine celestial bodies which have been the centre to all the astrological calculations in Indian Astrology. The nine planets namely the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the two shadow planets Rahu and Ketu constitute the significant and most noteworthy Navagrahas.
If you have any questions about Navagraha Homam, please leave your comment below and we will get back to you within one hour.
This Homam is important because these nine "grahas" play a remarkable role in a person's horoscope. They control his/her desires, karmas and their outcomes. The homam helps in reducing the negative effects (dasha) of the planets thus improving the positive energies related to a person. Hence, the Navagraha Homam delights the nine planets playing a vital role in deciding and directing a person's lifetime.
Someone whose four or more of planets are not well placed in his/her natal chart.
Someone whose Rahu (Ascending node) and Ketu (Descending node) are strongly afflicted in his/her natal chart.
Anyone having the kalathra dosha or the kaal sarpa dosha as these doshas needs to be nullified so as to improve individual's married life and career.
Making a person's life favorable.
It is a remedy for those who are craving for a happy married life or are affected by the delay in child's birth.
Benefits to the people facing stuck ups in business and personal life.
Satisfying the moving planets that create bad impact on a person's life.
Blocking any unfortunate events that may affect a person in future.
The Homam can be performed after consulting a learned astrologer. Astrologer would recommend the proper Muhurat based on an individual's natal chart. The date and time are fixed as per the performer's nakshatra on any single date.
It starts with the Ganapathi Sthapana followed by the Pooja.
In the second step, the priest asks the performer to take the Punyaha Vachanam or the Maha Sankalpam. He/she would be asked for all desires intended by gratifying all the planets and invoking them to bless the performer.
Next, the Kalasa Pooja is done. It is also called as the formal Sthapana.
After that, the homam is elaborately performed. This includes lengthy chanting or the Japam.
Next, the Aavurthi/Aahuti are given into the Hawan Kund.
Homam is concluded by offering Poornahuti.
Prasad distribution at the conclusion of Homam.
Below, is the list of material required for performing homam.
A Purohit/Pandit can make arrangements for the Navagraha Homam at any location, be it the performer's home, office or a temple.
The major costs of the Navagraha Homam includes the ingredients and Dakshina for the priests. The ingredients cost somewhere between Rs. 2000/- to Rs. 3000/-. Hence, the total cost of the Homam is less than Rs. 10,000/-. However, if you get the Homam performed at the temple, then there are chances wherein an individual requires to pay an additional fees to the temple authorities.

It's the last day of February and I'm finishing out the month with more great resources for your health and safety!
Any preparations you've made for your safety and protection — whether physical skills, gear and equipment, or storage commodities — need to be maintained to be useful. There is a cost to maintenance, and it's one we often ignore in our zeal to always acquire more.
An excerpt from my next book!
I remember my first serious (multi-day) defensive shooting course. It was a spring day in the early 1990s and, as is normal here in the Pacific Northwet (no, that's not a typo) it was raining like crazy. It was a cold, wet, miserable day.
Being a native Oregonian I was prepared for the conditions, but that didn't make them any less miserable.
Think before you shoot. A long time before.
A sad tale crossed my desk earlier this week. It seems one Billy Williams was awakened in the night by one of his children, who reportedly told him that someone was trying to break into their house via the front door.
When we talk about self defense (and particularly when gun people talk about self defense), the topic of measurement will eventually come up. In the gun world we love to measure things, and we can measure just about anything. The problem is that the measurements we make may not be important.
More great self defense reading for this week! First, why you need to include a dog in your defensive planning; Greg Ellifritz considers what you should do after you've stopped the active killer; why you need a practice tourniquet in your kit; how to carry spare revolver ammunition; dealing with the spontaneous fight; how to properly analyze incident video; and dispelling some pervasive shotgun myths. Be sure to share with all of your friends!
"It's a training issue." I don't think that means what you think it means.
Hoo boy, I heard it again just the other day: "it's a training issue". The subject at hand was a discussion about the traditional double action pistol, the kind that has a long and heavy double action first shot and a shorter, lighter single action (DA/SA) for each subsequent shot.
You don't need to be a SEAL to defend yourself with a firearm. You need more relevant skills.
Last week I got two emails about my front page headline: "You don't need to be a Navy SEAL just to be safe!" One applauded me for "telling it like it is", but the other one insisted that I was doing people a big disservice by saying that, because if everyone trained to the level of a SEAL they'd definitely be safer. "It's a matter of priorities", the writer concluded.
Sorry, but I really don't think so.
Airsoft for defensive shooting practice: good idea or a waste of time?
A question I'm frequently asked regards the value of non-firearm projectile launchers like Airsoft and BB guns as training devices for defensive shooting. This is a discussion that doesn't lend itself to soundbites; there are some important principles which need to be understood to be able to gauge, for yourself, the value of any non-firearm alternatives.
Do you carry religiously? You may not be as safe as you believe.
The first Hump Day List of 2016! To celebrate, I've found information on avoiding stalkers; a very forgotten Colt pistol; Ian McCollum talking about some odd rifles from a familiar company; Greg Ellifritz dropping some knowledge about dealing with hostile crowds; Rob Pincus helping you plan ahead; Claude Werner showing how to avoid negative outcomes; and a video about training to overwhelm a shooter even if you don't have a gun yourself.
Would you know how to deal with a stalker?
The important role of a training partner in your defensive shooting skill development.
In the defensive shooting world we talk a lot about carry guns, calibers, holsters, belts, and all manner of accessories from flashlights to scopes. A large reason for this focus on things is because they're easily understood and readily quantifiable; it's easy to compare things by numbers, charts and graphs.
We pay comparatively little attention to concepts and ideas. They're harder to understand, sometimes impossible to quantify, and require thought and reflection to properly understand and apply.
No, things really haven't changed: self defense in a post-Paris world.
The bodies in Paris hadn't even been buried when the agendas got trotted out. No, I'm not talking about gun control or immigration restrictions; I'm not talking about refugees or intelligence sharing or air strikes or border checkpoints, either.
I'm talking about the "you need to prepare to deal with this new threat!" brigade.
This DVD is a bit of a departure from most of the Personal Defense Network productions that I've viewed. It's entirely lecture-based, presented by Rob Pincus in a studio setting, and it's also one of the most information-dense of the productions I've seen!
One of the questions all instructors get frequently is "how should I practice?" In this DVD, Rob Pincus shows what he considers to be a solid practice session even if you only have an hour and 100 rounds of ammunition to spare. It's an interesting approach to the subject, but just how much valid practice can you do with two boxes of ammunition?
As it turns out, quite a bit!
My Threat-Centered Revolver class in sunny Phoenix is coming up soon!
I don't know what it's like where you live, but here in Oregon it's already winter: cold, wet, and foggy. There are, however, places in these United States where it isn't like that — and next month, I'll be in one of them teaching my famous Threat-Centered Revolver class!
My new book of defensive shooting drills, HANDGUN TRAINING, is almost here!
We're just a couple of weeks away from the official release of my NEW book — but some people will get it early!
Handgun Training – Practice Drills For Defensive Shooting is my latest book and I'm quite proud of it. It's a collection of drills for the average person who wants to practice relevant, plausible defensive shooting skills.
drills, practice, realistic, What's New?
How many self defense classes have you taken this year? They may be holding you back!
One of the common recommendations in the training world is to study with as many different people or schools as you can, to get as many different perspectives as possible in order to get a more fully formed opinion of the subject of defensive shooting (or self defense in general.) I think the idea is sound, but the execution is often lacking.
Happy Hump Day! I've decided to move the "Weekender" to Wednesdays in the hopes that it will help ease you over the hump and get you to Friday unscathed!
What's the difference between tasks and skills in defensive shooting training? Does it matter?
When training defensive shooting techniques, it's common — too common, in fact — to focus on the skill used rather than the task to be performed. Now some people will say that those are the same thing, but they're not. In fact, they're very different.


Saturday morning four year old soccer games are the perfect way to start a weekend - guaranteed to make you laugh over amazing performances that have nothing to do with soccer! And there is always ice cream when it is over.....even though it is 10 am and 45 degrees!
If you are on track you just saw Shana's wonderful work so head onward to see what that oh so talented Bruno has created!
Linda, this is a great card! Love the Dapper Denim, too and you're right with the peek of Vintage Leaves from behind the acorn adds a great touch. Emma looks so cute out there on the field, but 47 at 10 a.m. already with ice cream! Burrrrrr!
What a gorgeous card, Linda! I love that color combo. I agree -- Dapper Denim is awesome!!
Gorgeous colors and layout on your card. Love that pop of blue! Dapper Denim is certainly a favorite of mine as well :) I love seeing pics of the the grand, she is so darn cute!!
I miss those little people soccer games. My girlfriend was a coach and she ran around with a her youngest on her hip! WE had so much fun too. I remember the girls would just walk around holding hands singing and they were on opposing teams! So cute! Enjoy.
I love this card, Linda! I've struggled to use these acorns, but you've showcased them perfectly. Great colors - and I love the leaves behind the acorns. A perfect Fall card!
Great fall card....and YUM to the ice cream!!!
I love everything about this Linda! The cute acorns, pretty paper and enamel dots all combine perfectly!
Gorgeous card! Just clean enough and the tilt adds nice interest to the focal point.
I love your unexpected pop of color and this Acorny stamp has really caught my eye lately. Didn't think too much of it when it first came out but I am beginning to "fall" in love with it! And of course, Emma and her leggings steal the show!
Gorgeous card and I love how you used Dapper Denim on it. I really like how you also added the leaf behind it. I love seeing pictures the kids are soo cute!

The Geography & Planning Department will have a tutor available to students in the BSS Student Success Center, Butte 518.
Tutoring hours will be Tues/Thurs, 3:30pm-5:30pm and Wed, 3:00pm-4:00pm.
Don Hankins is a Professor of Geography and Planning at California State University, Chico. He has a B.S. in Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology and a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of California, Davis. His interests and expertise is in the following areas: pyrogeography, ecohydrology, landscape ecology, intervention ecology, conservation, environmental policy and Indigenous stewardship. This expertise is applied to his courses in pyrogeography, water resources policy and planning, and nature and restoration. Don has been involved in various aspects of environmental planning, stewardship, conservation, and regulation for a variety of organizations and agencies including federal and tribal governments. Drawing from his academic and cultural knowledge he is particularly interested in Indigenous traditional knowledge and policy and their application as a keystone process to aid in conservation and stewardship. He has published several articles specific to Indigenous prescribed fire and the social dynamics of colonization on cultural burning. Amongst other projects his current research includes longitudinal studies of fire effects on biodiversity, cultural resources and hydrology and overall environmental resiliency in riparian forests, oak woodlands, and meadows in California and Eucalypt and tea tree woodlands in the Cape York Peninsula, Australia. These projects involve working with local Indigenous communities in the respective areas in order to achieve a broader framework of collaborative stewardship and learning. Don has also been active in policy related to Indigenous stewardship particularly as related to fire and water management.

Just how much can free ebooks save you? Download this and save $644.97
By Paul St John Mackintosh -
I realize that the mosaics of the fabulous Hagia Sophia museum – and former mosque and Orthodox cathedral – in Istanbul aren't necessarily everyone's cup of tea. But here's a reminder of just how much you can save sometimes through legitimate free ebook downloads. This time, it's $644.97.
The book in question, Mosaics of Hagia Sophia, Istanbul: The Fossati Restoration and the Work of the Byzantine Institute, by Natalia B. Teteriatnikova, is an 80-page short illustrated book from Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, originally published in 1998. The paperback edition, long out of print, is being offered on Amazon for $644.97. But a post at MobileRead alerted me to this PDF edition, completely reproducing the original volume – albeit in black and white – for nothing whatsoever.
You may be missing out on some glittering gold illustrations by opting for the free version – although since some of the photos in the volume date from the 1930s and 1940s courtesy of the Byzantine Institute and other sources, it's likely not such a great proportion. But this is just one extreme example of the terrific savings you can make – and terrific publications you can enjoy – by sleuthing down these out-of-print freebies from museums, research institutes, and galleries.
For instance, I covered the free publications available from the Metropolitan Musem of Art some time ago. Their terrific 1989 volume on Canaletto, with gorgeous color reproductions, is available from Amazon in paperback with used prices from $92.67 or new from $175.00 – though it's only fair to note that other used editions are offered for as little as $29.99. At the Met itself, though, you can download the PDF with the 200 or so gorgeous color plates – for nothing.
Misers everywhere may enjoy the chance to make such great savings. Everyone is likely to find something to enjoy in such visual riches. Pure (mosaic) gold.

Dr. Keri Viver, koju je tumačila Lora Ins, je izmišljeni lik iz NBC-eve televizijske serije Urgentni centar. Prvi put se pojavila kao epizodni lik na početku 2. sezone, ali je postala glavni lik na početku 3. sezone. U januaru 2007. godine, Insova ja napustila seriju posle 12 godina, a njen lik se odselio na Floridu.

Jako malo od pozadine Viverove je otkriveno publici u početku. Njen lik ćopa zbog čega mora da koristi štaku, a kasnije je otkriveno da je razlog toga urođeno iščašenje kuka u 14. epizodi 11. sezone i da je jednom živela u Africi.

Viverova je došla u Opštu bolnicu kao načelnica specijalizanata, a ksenije je postala odeljenska lekarka. Unapređena je načelnicu hitnog zdravstva i na kraju načelnicu bolničkog osoblja. Zbog poslovodnog položaja je često morala da donosi neprijatne odluke koje su dovodile do neprijateljstava sa njenim kolegama lekarima kao kad je dala otkaz Džini Bule tokom 4. sezone. Iako je bila u nekim heteroseksualnim vezama, za Viverovu se na kraju ispostavilo da je lezbejka. Njeno polno opredeljenje je bilo ključna tačka u nekim epizodama, pogotovo kad se parničila na sudu kako bi zadržala sina Henrija.

Viverova se pojavila u trećem najvišem broju epizoda posle Džona Kartera i Ćuni Markez. Na stranici AfterEllen.com je uključena u Prvih 50 lezbejskih i biseksualnih likova.

O liku

Od druge do šeste sezone
Tokom prvih šest sezona Insove u seriji, malo toga je otkriveno o pojedinostima pozadine Viverove pa su po tome kasnije počeli da je prepoznaju: njeno polno opredeljenje, politička uverenja i čak prava priroda njenog invaliditeta. Njoj je to bila strogo čuvana tajna jer je bila žena koja je htel da uspe poslovno, ali se plašila diskriminacije. Takođe nije mogla u potpunosti da se suoči sa svojom homofobijom i žalila je što nikad nije upoznala svoje rođene roditelje.

Kad ju je Mark Grin zaposlio kao načelnicu specijalizanata 1995. godine, to je teško palo većini osoblja koji nisu voleli njen pristup u tančine u salama. Tokom ranijeg boravka na tom mestu, ona se često sukobljavala sa Dagom Rosom i stažistkinjom Suzan Luis oko većine postupaka u nezi bolesnika. Sem toga, njeno jako verovanje u politiku poslovođstva je izvlačeno u svakom nepotrebnom delu posla (u jednoj epizodi, šalteraš Džeri je doneo tortu kako bi proslavio njen slobodan dan). U 3. sezoni, Keri je postala odeljenska lekarka Urgentnog centra zajedno sa Markom Grinom sa kojim je uvek mogla da se takmiči ili da napravi manevar kako bi skrenula pažnju svojih nadređenih.

Kao ishod toga, svima je bilo teško − i publici i drugim likovima − da upoznaju Viverovu van njene teškog i birokratskog poslovanja. U ranijem pogledu u njenu dušu, Viverova je branila Džini Bule, koju je igrala Glorija Ruben, lekarsku pomoćnicu koju je zarazio HIV-om njen suprug koji ju je varao. Kasnije, Buleova se zarazila i Hepatitisom C zbog nesreće sa špricom zbog jednog zaraženog bolesnika. Ona se borila da sačuva posao i dostojanstvo dok su se drugi lekari bojali za za pouzdanost jer u Urgentnom centru imaju zaposlenu koja boluje od HIV-a. Viverova je bila prva osoba na takvom položaju da je stala na Džininu stranu pa su njih dve ostale drugarice sve dok Džini nije dobila otkaz zbog budžeta i njenim uspešnim pritiskanjem da je vrate na posao. Njih dve su se pomirile i ostale su dobre drugarice dok Džini nije otišla iz Urgentnom centru kako bi bila sa svojim novim suprugom i podizala svog usvojenog sina Karlosa koji boluje od HIV-a.

Viverova je ispoljila veliku količinu saosećanja i skrupulozna prava građanskim pravima, a to je pomoglo da on i dr. Mark Grin naprave nacrt propisa Urgentnog centra o HIV-pozitivnim zaposlenima. Ova priča je razvila lik Viverove i sem toga što je izdržljiva i poslovno malo brižna. Tokom narednih epizoda, pristala je da okrene glavu kad je dr. Džon Karter pomogao devojci koja je pobegla od kuće da pobegne i od roditelja homofoba koji su je poslali u kamp za bivše homoseksualce.

1997. godine, Viverova je bila u kratkoj vezi sa Elisom Vestom (tumačio ga je Klensi Braun), lekarem koji je radio za skupinu "Sajnerdžiks", koju je je Opšta bolnica razmatrala za ugovor o opštoj upravi nad Urgentnim centrom. Uprkos njegovim tvrdnjama u suprotno, ona je na kraju zaključila da je Vest sa njom u vezi samo da bi dobio njen pristanak za ugovor. Vest joj je rekao da je pogrešila pa je povukao ponudu.

Kad je Karter dobio otkaz na mesto pomoćnog stažiste i nije imao gde da živi, on je zatražio pomoć zbog čega ga je dr. Viver primila kod sebe jer je iznajmljivala garsonjeru u svom podrumu studentima. Po prvi put, publika je videla njenu kuću i primetila da je ona sama i nezavisna, da živi u lepoj kući i da ima određen muzički ukus. Viverova je takođe unajmila ličnog istražitelja da pronađe njenu rođenu majku, a taj napor je u početku omanuo i otkrila strah Viverove da je usvojena jer njena majka nije mogla da prihvati ćerku sa invaliditetom.

1998. godine, tokom 4. sezone, Keri je bila na kratko oslabljena kad je zbog praska u hemijskoj tvornici broj žrtava preplavio Urgentni centar zbog čega je otrovno Benzen rasut po Urgentnom centru. Viverova je pretrpela grčevit napad zbog dejstva otrova. Nju su lečili dr. Karter i dr. Ana Del Amiko. Pošto je Viverova imala napad, a dr. Grin bio van grada, Karter je bio prisiljen da preuzme vođstvo nad Urgentnim centrom po prvi put.

Otkad je stigla u Opštu bolnicu, Keri je bila jako zanesena u sprovođenju viših upravnih zvanja kao što je načelnik hitnog zdravstva. Nakon dugog i obimnog odsustva dr. Morgensterna novi položaj je morao da se popuni. U kratkom razdoblju, ona je postala v.d. načelnica hitnog zdravstva dok prikladna zamena nije pronađena. Opet, posle događaja oko unajmljivanja lekara za kog se ispostavilo da je jako uspešan u neobičnim nelekarskim stvarima, Kerini izgledi su na sreću ostali otvoreni. Ipak, ona je otkrila da je bolnica i ne razmatra za taj položaj. Kad je to saznala, odmah je dala otkaz na mesto v.d. načelnice hitnog zdravstva, a dr. Romano je uskočio kad mu se ukazala prilika da postane v.d. načelnik Urgentnog centra. Na početku 6. sezone, pročulo se da bi Romano mogao da bude načelnik osoblja, a tom događaju su se i Keri i Mar Grin protivili i pokušavali da ga spreče. Ipak, na kraju je Keri podržala dr. Romana za mesto načelnika osoblja, a u zamenu je postavljena na mesto načelnika hitnog zdravstva. Tad su se prvi i poslednji put Romano i Viverova složili oko poslovodnih propisa. Tokom kasnijih sezona, uvek su se jako borili iako su oboje više voleli poslovodne stvari od ostalih zaposlenih.

1999. godine, Viverova je dočekala priliku da zaposli dr. Gejba Lorensa (tumačio ga je Alan Alda) koji joj je bio profesor. U početku je odbijala da prihvati tvrdnje Marka Grina da Lorens pati od ranog stadijuma Alchajmerove bolesti, ali se na kraju suočila sa činjenicama i oprostila sa svojim uzorom.

Tokom devedesetih, u seriji se često naznačavalo da je Viverova lezbejka zbog muzičkog ukusa, kuće i čudnog odbijanja nabacivanja nekih saradnika. Opet, do sedme sezone Viveriva je bila sama i zanesena poslovna žena sa − ponekad skrivenim − nežnim srcem.

Sezona sedam
Polovinom sezone, Keri se zaljubila u psihijatarku Kim Legaspi (tumačila ju je Elizabet Mičel), ali se plašila da to prizna i Legaspijevoj i sebi. Iako je Legaspijeva bila otvorena po pitanju opredeljenja i voljna da bude u vezi sa Viverovom, ona se uzrujala na Viverovu jer ona ne samo da je bila u ormaru, nego je patil i od ubačene homofobije pa je zbog toga veza sporo počela. Kad je Viverova uspela da prizna sebi da je lezbejka, i dalje joj je bilo neprijatno oko toga šta bib bilo ako bi njeni saradnici saznali i da li bi imalo diskriminišuće posledice po njenu karijeru. Zbog toga je njihova veza postala "javna tajna" međe većinom zaposlenih Urgentnog centra.

Tokom te priče, takođe je otkriveno da je Keri bila udata za hirurga stažistu pre nego što joj je karijera u Opštoj bolnici počela.

Prvi saradnik kome se Keri otvorila bio je dr. Robert Romano koji je hteo da da otkaz dr. Legaspi zbog lažnih optužbi da je polno uznemiravala jednu bolesnicu. Čin hrabrosti Viverove je sprečio Romana da otpusti Legaspijevu, ali je i osećajno iscrpeo Viverovu čiji su se strahovi od uništenja karijere zbog diskriminacije ponovo pojavili. Zbog toga nije mogla da pruži osećajnu podršku Legaspijevoj koja je zadržala svoj posao, ali po cenu homofobije bolničke uprave i svoje devojke koja je ostala u ormaru. Legaspijeva je raskinula sa Viverovom i odlučila da prihvati ponudu za posao u San Francisku da se ne bi suočavala sa homofobijom Romana i manjkom osećjne podrške koju je dobila od Viverove.

Keri se takođe suprotstavila Elizabet Kordej u 7. sezoni kad je sredila procenu Marka Grina u vezi poslovne sposobnosti jer je pokazao primetne promene ličnosti kad se vratio sa operacije tumora na mozgu. Kao ishod toga, Keri nije bila pozvana na Elizabetinu i Markovu svadbu i iako su se ona i Mark izgleda pomirili u 8. sezoni, ona i Elizabet se uglavnom nisu podnosile. Elizabe je postala saosećajna pa su dve lekarke ostale u dobrim odnosima sve dok dr. Kordej nije otišla u 11. sezoni. Ipak, nikad nisu bile bliske prijateljice. U stvari, Elizabet je otišla jer je namerno izvela protivzakonitu operaciju presađivanja organa iz HIV pozitivnog bolesnika u HIV pozitivnog pojedinca, a to je najviše uradila jer je znala da će razbesneti Keri zbog čega je Keri ponudila unazađenje Elizabet koje je ona odbila pa dala otkaz.

Sezona osam
Viverova i dalje ništa nije priznala svojim saradnicima sem dr. Romanu i dr. Luki Kovaču. Keri je i dalje bila zabrinuta šta bi bilo ako bi neko otkrio njeno pravo stanje iako su za njeno polno opredeljenje već znali neki saradnici. Viverova je, ipak, započela vezu sa vatrogaskinjom Sendi Lopez (tumačila ju je Lisa Vidal) koju je upoznala jedne olujne noći kad je spašavala trudnicu iz slupanih kola hitne pomoći. Kako su se njih dve zbližile, Lopezova je rekla Viverovoj da odbija da se zabavlja sa ženom koja je u ormaru. Lopezova je namerno strastveno poljubila Viverovu pred njenim saradnicima. Onda je usledila revolucionarna priča za televiziju jer su vezi dve žene zapretili sud, strast i oporavdanja koja su često primali obični parovi.

Lopezova joj je rekla: "Učinila sam ti ogromnu uslugu" posle poljupca u Urgentnom centru. Nekoliko epizoda kasnije, Viverova joj je priznala da je bila u pravu. Na kraju sezone, Viverova je prihvatila sebe kao lezbejku i postala željna da se suoči sa homofobijom gde god da se pojavi.

U drugoj epizodi osme sezone "Što duže ostaneš", Viverova se nije javila na nekoliko poziva dr. Malučija i Čen kad je kod bolesnika kog su njih dvoje lečili došlo do složenosti. Viverovu je na kraju doveo dr. Karter koji je lično morao da ode do restorana "Dr. Magu" zbog čega je bolno pao tokom toga. Ali nakon što je bolesnik umro, a ona njima troma izričito rekla "Ubili ste ga", posle je ponovo viđena u restoranu "Dr. Magu" gde je našla pejdžer koji je zaboravila u kupatilu.

U očajničkom pokušaju da prikrije svoju neodgovornost kad je porodica bolesnika tužila bolnicu, Viverova je dala otkaz Malučiju u trećoj epizodi "Krv, šećer, seks, čarolija" pod optužbom za nedolično ponašanje, a u četvrtoj epizodi "Nikad ne reci nikad" prikačila je i nemar Malučiju i Čenovoj.

U epizodi "Prošlost", Keri je ostala zatečena kad je usamljena mlada devojka ubila svoju cimerku zbog neuzvraćene ljubavi. Keri se onda pomirila sa Sendi Lopez pa su se njih dve prvi put društveno pojavile u Urgentnom centru na parastosu posle smrti Marka Grina. Keri je vidno bila tužna zbog Markove smrti pa se slomila na radnom mestu kad je čula da je preminuo. Kasnije je rekla Sendi da zna da ga bolest pobeđuje, ali da nije znala da će toliko da ga pogodi. Shvatila je da je izgubila prijatelja i žalila je zbog godina u Urgentnom centru koje su proveli takmičući se za razna mesta i unapređenja.

Sezona devet
Viverova i Lopezova su ostale zajedno i malo su razgovarale o budućnosti svoje veze. Viverova je htela da imaju deteali je posle pobačaja je osetila da bi Lopezova trebalo da nosi dete. Lopezova ipak nije htela da ostane trudna jer bi uticalo na njenu vatrogasnu karijeru. Par nije mnogo puta viđan tokom ove sezone, a Viverovoj je data druga priča u vezi posledica sa kojim bi se suočila i koje bi joj zapretile jer nije prijavila tamošnjeg političara koji je bio pozitivan na sifilis. Poslanik Džonatan Brajt je omogućio sredstva za Opštu i bolji položaj za Keri, ali ju je prisilio da uradi neslužbeni pregled njegovog bliskog ljubavnika što se završilo ljubavnikovom nesrećnom smrću zbog reagovanja na nardažaj penicilija. Kasnije, Donald Anspo se suočio sa stavom dr. Romana i nemarom na poslu. Anspo je ponudio da olakša Romanu posao tako što bi podelio njegove poslovodne dužnosti sa Keri Viver. Kad je Romano to odbio, njega je zamenila nekako iznenađena Keri koja mu je ponudila mesto načelnika Hitnog zdravstva

Sezona deset
Keri se smestila na svoj načelničko-poslovodni položaj, ali je naletela na razne izazove koje su se povećavale iz dana u dan od bolničkog osoblja do grozničavog renoviranja Urgentnog centra. Ove obaveze su dovele do stalnih sporečkavanja sa dr. Romanom, a jednom mu je zapretila i otkazom. Kad je dr. Romano poginuo u helikopterskoj nesreći, kao i mnogi drugi, Keri nije bila ožalošćena iako je znala da je njegovo prisustvo bilo važno doprinosu bolnice. Kasnije početkom 2004. godine, Viverova je posvetila otvaranje LGBT Doma zdravlja Romanu čime mu je tajno vratila jer on nije podržavao prava pedera. U njenom ličnom životu, Lopezova se predomislila oko deteta pa je rodila dečaka Henrija u bolnici, srećna što su ona i Viverova osnovale porodicu. Kasnije u sezoni, Lopezova je podlegla povredama koje je zadobila na radu, a Keri je bila slomljena gubitkom. Ebi Lokhart i (za divno čudo) Elizabet Kordej su joj bile podrška posle ove tragedije. Sendini roditelji (koji nikad nisu odobravali njeno polno opredeljenje) su preuzeli starateljstvo nad Henrijem, a ostatak sezone, priča o Viverovoj se usredsredila na borbu za starateljstvo nad detetom između nje i roditelja Lopezove. Stanje oko starateljstva je na kraju rešeno kad su se Lopezovi i Viverova složili da ona ima prvenstveno starateljstvo, a Lopezovi će čuvati Henrija dok je ona na poslu. Stanje je dovelo do školskog primera toga da Keri potpuno nema sluha, a dok ju je potpuno nasekirala nazovi uzaludna borba protiv Lopezovih, ona je porazgovarala sa Ebi i posredno joj otkrila da zna da je prvi put pala na ispitu i (nejasno joj stavljajući do znanja da misli da će pasti ponovo) i pokušala "diplomatski" da je natera da izbaci Opštu kao prvi izbor sa spiska za usavršavanje. Ebi je bila besna pa je otišla od Viverove ostavljajući je osramoćenu i da ćuti jednostavnu stavljajući do znanja da će "hipotetički" lekar koji tako pokuša da je zajebe biti prijavljen mesnom i državnom zdravstvenom odboru za nemar.

Sezona jedanaest
U epizodi pod nazivom "Takva kakva sam" iz 2005. godine, Viverova je konačno upoznala svoju rođenu majku Helen Kingsli koja je konzervativna hrišćanka poreklom sa Mertlske plaže u Južne Karoline, a trenutno živi u Tera Houtu u Indijani. Kingslijeva (Frensis Fišer) je objasnila Viverovoj da ju je kao neudata devojka koja je rodila sa četrnaest godina sa ograničenim mogućnostima za podizanje deteta dala na usvajanje nadajući se da će imati bolji život. U gradu je bila zbog crkvenih obaveza pa je odlučila da upozna ćerku jer je Kerin rođeni otac Kodi Bun nedavno umro. Kad je Kingslijeva otkrila da joj je ćerka lezbejka, ona i Viverova su se sporečkale oko vere i ljudskih polova, a Viverova je navaljivala da je majka voli i prihvati. Kingslijeva je rekla da može da voli ćerku, ali pošto ne može da prihvati njeno opredeljenje kao skrupulozno, ne može da prihvati njen način života. Ova epizoda ne samo da je rešila zagonetku iza majke Viverove, nego je i otkrila razlog zbog kog Viverova ide sa štakom: Helen je pričala o invaliditetu Viverove, a Viverova je objasnila da je imala urođeno iščašenje kuka kao kongenitalnu anomaliju. Viverova se začudila kako Helen nije znala ništa o tome, a njen dugogodišnji strah da je zbog toga data na usvajanje je nestao.

Od ove epizode, Keri Viver je gotovo isključivo igrala sporednu ulogu i često je bila odsutna iz epizoda. Negativni doprinos je bio taj što je igrala glavnu ulogu u teranju Elizabet Kordej iz Opšte, iako ju je Kordejeva namerno izazvala da to uradi jer nije mogla da radi sa Lučijenom Dubenkom, novim hirurgom kog je Viverova zaposlila.

Sezona dvanaest
Keri je nastavila da igra pozadinu i u većini epizoda ove sezone. Iako je imala mnogo posla oko upravnih sastanaka i zadataka, Keri je povremeno radila i u Urgentnom centru kako ne bi "zarđala". U epizodi "Napolju na grani", Keri je konačno otišla na operaciju kako bi popravila iščašeni kuk. U epizodi "Nemate gde da se sakrijete", Keri je prvi put u seriji hodala bez pomoći i štake. Keri je pitala Ebi (koja je čekala Lukino dete) da bude Henrijeva zakonska starateljka ako joj se nešto desi, ali je operacija u potpunosti uspela. (Navodno, priča je završena, bar delimično, jer je Lora Ins počela da ima tegobe u kukovima i leđima posle deset godina hodanja sa štakom zbog uloge). Lora Ins je opisala ovo jer je lik "počeo da joj bude težak i htela je da okrene novi list".

Na kraju sezone, Keri je pretrpela kritike jer je zaposlila dr. Viktora Klementea kao odeljenskog lekara zbog toga što je on ugrozio negu bolesnika što je moglo da dovede do preispitivanja njegovih sposobnosti i tužbe bolnici. Uprkos tome što je bila odgovorna što ga je zaposlila (i što ga je branila uprkos Lukinim prosvedima kad je Klemente počeo da pravi nevolje), Keri je pokušala da usmeri vatru prema Luki Kovaču (Goran Višnjić), načelniku Hitnog zdravstva, kako bi dovela njegov posao u pitanje.

Trinaesta sezona
Nakon što je spasla Luku i Ebi na početku sezone, Keri je shvatila da su joj stlani napori da sačuva svoj posao došli prijateljstva, a ponela se odgovorno prema događaju sa Klementeom kako bi spasla Luku otkaza. Zbog toga je unazađena u načelnika Kadrovske i ponovo je postala odeljenska lekarka. Iako se jasno borila da se navikne na svoj novi položaj, pogotovo što joj je novi načelnik Urgentnog centra Luka Kovač sad nadređeni, Keri je bila zadovoljna što se ponovo punim radnim vremenom bavi zdravstvom. Takođe je razvila prijateljskiji odnos sa Gregom Pratom. Pošto je ponovo radila u Urgentnom centru, Viverova je zapala za oko televizijskoj producentkinji koji je snimao prilog za dnevnik sa dr. Morisom, a on joj je doslovce ukrao pojavljivanje. Njoj su izvršni producenti dnevnika ponudili posao. Ubrzo nakon toga, Keri i njena producentkinja Kortni (Mišel Hrd) su razvila blizak odnos, a takav Keri nije osetila od kad joj je devojka Sendi Lopez poginula. Kortni je rekla Keri kako bi njen odličan dnevnik mogao da joj otvori uspešnu karijeru. Keri je odlučila da ode iz Opšte bolnice kad je načelnik Urgentnog centra Luka Kovač morao da skrati troškove budžeta i ukloni njen položaj. Keri je pritvatila ponudu televizije WJVM iz Majamija, uprkos Kovačevim naporima u poslednji minut da je ubedi da ostane.

Poslednja stalna pojava Keri Viver je bila u 280. epizodi po redu, epizodi "Podeljena kuća" u 13. sezoni u kojoj se Ebi Lokhart izrazila dr. Viver da nije bilo nje, ona nikad ne bi postala ni lekarka ni majka. Onda su se ona i Keri u suzama oprostili. Kad se Keri spremila i izašla na vrata Opšte bolnice poslednji put, zamolila je Luku da joj čuva bolnicu i savetovala mu da ne ponavlja njenu grešku oko mešanja u bolničku politiku, ukazivši mu da mu je oprostila. Luka je prihvatio njen savet i napustil mesto načelnika pri kraju sezone, neposredno pre nego što se oženio Ebi.

Povratak u seriju u petnaestoj sezoni i kraj
Viverova se pojavila u bljesku iz prošlosti u epizodi pod nazivom "Leči se" u 15. sezoni koji je smešten u 2002. godinu nekoliko meseci pre Grinove smrti. U svom prizoru, ona je ušla u salu 1 i izrazila se koliko je zabrinuta za dr. Marka Grina zbog njegove borba sa tumora na mozgu. Rekla mu je da se povuče i zastane malo sa lečenjem sina Benfildove. Kad je on odbio, dr. Viver je mrzovoljno napustila prostoriju.

Tokom 15. i poslednje sezone serije Urgentni centar, u epizodi "Knjiga o Ebi", dugogodišnja bolničarka Hejle Adams je pokazala odlazećoj Ebi Lokhart ormarić gde su svi raniji lekari i zaposleni ostavili pločice sa svojim imenima sa svojih ormara. Među njima, pločica sa prezimenom "Viver" se videla.

U 19. epizodi 15. sezone, bivši saradnik dr. Dag Ros je pitao Sem Tagart i Nilu Rasgotru o Viverovoj (pošto je otkrio da rade u Opštoj) jer ga je zanimalo da li još tu radi.

Na kraju serije, ona je odletela na Floridu kako bi bila na posveti i otvaranju "Karter središta". Tamo se srela sa Elizabet Kordej, Suzan Luis, Džonom Karterom i Piterom Bentonom posle otvaranja. Stari saradnici su otišli da večeraju u staroj gostioni i da porazgovaraju. Na kraju noći, rekla je skupini da više ne može da ostane jer mora na let za Floridu. Keri je sve izgrlila i otišla iz Čikaga.

Artist Bernar Venet Inaugurates Arc Majeur, Europe's Largest Sculpture, On A Belgian Highway
After a 35-year wait, Arc Majeur, a monumental 200-ton and 60-meter-tall sculpture in rusted Corten steel by Bernar Venet, one of France's greatest living artists, has been unveiled. Spanning 75 meters in diameter with a side section of 2.25 meters and nearly 500 meters of combined welded lengths, it required over 12,000 hours of welding and assembly work and the collaboration of 15 partners, not to mention countless meetings, technical drawings and studies by experts in numerous fields. Towering over the E411 highway near Lavaux-Sainte-Anne in Belgium, between the cities of Namur and Luxembourg, the €3 million sculpture is a gift to the Wallonia Region and has now become the largest public artwork in Europe with its twin gargantuan arcs that resemble two arms stretching towards the sky, disrupting the horizon of one of Europe's busiest highways. A mix of art and engineering, it's something of a trompe l'oeil, as a section of the complete arc with a 205.5-degree curve appears to be buried in the ground, only to emerge on either side of the road. In fact, the majestic yet minimalist structure is composed of two parts: a large arc formed from three sections measuring 20 meters each and standing 60 meters high on one side of the road, while on the other side is a smaller arc rising to 20 meters. It's twice as high as the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro and taller than the Statue of Liberty without its pedestal; it's so high that you wonder how it doesn't topple over, balancing on a modest base.

Travelers approaching the new unmissable landmark will be able to spot it from 3 kilometers away and have the impression of penetrating the sculpture before moving away from it, with only moments to grasp its true nature from their cars once they're near. They will drive through the discontinuous semi-circle in either direction and only see it while in movement. "This is a different experience, one experience among others in my work, but a rare or even unknown experience in the history of sculpture, with such self-evidence," Venet explains. "The particularity of this sculpture is that you discover it while you are moving. Normally, you stop by a sculpture, look at it, turn around it; you have time. Here, you have a relatively short time to discover it and, as you get closer to it, you discover it, pass into it and then lose it, so it's a different approach in comparison to what sculptures are in general."

Venet had selected the site for its unobstructed views and lack of buildings and lampposts, thereby allowing him to fully impose his personal artistic vision on the natural surroundings. "I spotted an ideal location on the motorway to Luxembourg," he notes. "It is important to have a lot of distance so as to see the sculpture from far away and to get closer to it – unless it is the sculpture that comes nearer to us. I reworked the dimensions and the work's integration into the landscape. I particularly like the fact that the road's verges embrace the arc's curve. I am happy to donate it to all motorists, workers or tourists who travel this road." He labels it the world's tallest public artwork for although there may be taller monuments paying tribute to historical figures such as the 182-meter-high statue of Sardar Patel in India, Arc Majeur, as a purely creative sculpture made by an artist, is the tallest of its kind on the face of the globe. He describes what he likes about conceiving public artworks, "In the art world, the market system is such that one makes works for the private sector. Creating a work of art does not mean that the aim is for it to be sold. Artworks are primarily created for cultural reasons. Their goal is to question, not to be sold. But there are art lovers who want to surround themselves with important objects artistically. Making works for the public space is to remove the artwork from closed, private spaces and the property of rare privileged people."

After three unsuccessful attempts to install Arc Majeur in France, it seemed like the sculpture would never be built, a test of the patience and determination of the 78-year-old conceptual artist celebrated for his versatility in multiple mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture and installation, whose contemporaries include the likes of Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and Carl Andre, and whose works are in the permanent collections of the most beloved artistic institutions in the world. He is best known for his Corten steel sculptures – Straight Lines, Indeterminate Lines, Arcs, Angles, Diagonals and Collapses – and his representations of mathematical equations and scientific texts, where the line in all its variants and physical manifestations form a major part of his vocabulary and alter the way people contemplate their environments. "It's a strange feeling because now I can believe that it really exists," Venet says of Arc Majeur. Originally due to be erected in 1984 near the city of Auxerre along the A6 highway leading to Paris as part of plans to beautify the country's highways and to bring art out of the museum space and into the public space, only to be vetoed by the local mayor for personal reasons despite the backing of the late French President, François Mitterrand, and former French Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, it was subsequently planned for a road in Burgundy in the mid-2000s, which Venet then called off after the president of the French highway department insisted he paint the Corten steel structure bright red. A third attempt to install the artwork near Metz in Moselle was abandoned when the president of the region failed to understand the sculpture and refused the proposal.
A section of Arc Majeur in the John Cockerill Group's workshops
It was only in 2014 after the inauguration of two new artworks by Venet commissioned by the John Cockerill Group, the Belgian mechanical engineering conglomerate based in Seraing, Belgium, that the project was given fresh impetus. One of the Group's subsidiaries, Usinor, had initially carried out feasibility studies for the project in France, and its Welding Center of Expertise had manufactured a sculpture for the artist a few years earlier: 37.5° Arc, a 38-meter-tall steel arc leaning against the façade of a building in Seoul (Venet's largest piece until now). The decision was made with the Group's chairman, Bernard Serin, in 2016 to turn Arc Majeur into reality in Belgium. Venet discloses, "There are moments when you don't believe in it anymore, but of course you wait for the opportunity. The opportunity was Mr Serin." The construction of the arc was largely funded by the John Cockerill Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the John Cockerill Group, and produced in the company workshops with the assistance of semi-automated welding carriages, in collaboration with engineering consultancy Greisch (with whom Venet has worked since 2005), which ensured stability, resistance to the effects of earthquakes and winds up to 200 km/h, and overall coherence of the structure contributing to its durability.
The side section of Arc Majeur measures 2.25 meters
An engineering tour de force that called for approximately 60 people working in unison, Arc Majeur brought together various expert technical service providers: cutting out metal sheets ranging in length from eight to 12 meters and of varying thicknesses, bending, welding, mounting in the workshop, positioning a shock absorber at the summit of the large arc to greatly reduce vibrations and the risk of fatigue of the steel, sanding to erase all traces of manufacture or welding for a smooth surface, transport by special road convoy by night, assembly on the highway and finally earthworks to restore the site. An experienced team of four to eight welders and three fitters took turns over several months to build the monumental sculpture. The preliminary ground tests took place in November 2018 and the laying of foundations (10 x 16 meters for the large arc) began last spring, requiring the prior excavation of around 1,000 m³ in the rock and the pouring of 2,800 tons of concrete, while the installation was carried out in record time over three days in August, with the highway closed entirely to traffic over a 36-hour period and remaining partially closed for over a month. The assembly was conducted over several phases, including welding together the three elements of the great arc, which were raised using a 750-ton crane – the largest in Europe – and put together thanks to flanges dissimulated inside them. A peripheral weld was then carried out at the junctions to definitively assemble them. The small arc was transported in a single piece, fully finished. At each stage, weld quality was monitored by specialists from Vinçotte using an advanced non-destructive testing technique called Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing.
French artist Bernar Venet watches over the installation of Arc Majeur
So what's next for Venet after making his dream of Arc Majeur come true and the opening in 2014 of his own foundation in Le Muy in the south of France, the project of a lifetime? Without being certain of its possible construction, he's currently working on an 80-meter-tall Straight Line sculpture symbolizing a conductor's baton to honor Herbert von Karajan in celebration of the centenary of Salzburg's popular music and drama festival, which will incline against one of the city's cliffs. He also hopes to achieve Grandes Diagonales one day, by far his most ambitious project. It comprises several Straight Line sculptures traversing the planet by virtually linking the main capitals of the five continents. To the physical work measuring 100 meters in length would be added underground several spaces for the public, who could communicate directly with the inhabitants of the cities with which they are connected. He concludes, "The goal of any artist remains the same: to continue to create, not by repeating oneself (which is no longer creating, but rather the production of decorative objects). The artist must constantly push the limits of what is conceivable."
