EtymologyEdit
The district of Koraput derives its name from its headquarters, the present town of Koraput. According to Mr. R.C.S. Bell, the name of the town is 'Kora-Putti' or "the hamlet of the Nux-vomica".[1]
Some opine that the word is derived from "Khora," a tribal people who still inhabit nearby villages. According to the second theory, Koraput is a corrupted form of 'Karaka-Pentho'. Karaka literally means 'hail-stone'. Another opinion is often found that the term Kora was the name of a Sun God who was worshipped by the local tribals in ancient times. Hence the town was so named.
It is also believed that one 'Khora Naiko' laid foundation of the village during the time of Nandapur kings. He hailed probably from Ranpur and served under the Nandapur kings in the Militia, and for his faithful and meritorious services he was permitted to establish this village which was named after him as Khora Putu, and later on the name has been abbreviated to 'Koraput.
LocationEdit
Koraput district is located between 18 degree 13' and 19 degree 10' North Latitudes and 82 degree 5' and 83 degree 23' East Longitudes. It shares its borders with Rayagada District, Nabarangpur district and Kalahandi District of Odisha on the north and east, with Bastar District of Chhattisgarh on the west, with Malkangiri District of Odisha on the south and with Vizianagaram district, Vishakhapatnam District and Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh on the east. Its area is 8,807 km2, making it the third largest district of Odisha after Mayurbhanj and Sundargarh.
The early history of the district is obscure owing to the absence of written records. Its location in the hills, isolation from means of communication and the dense forests all around served to keep the district politically separate from the nearby plains on both sides. The earliest event that can be fixed with certainty is the acquisition of the tract by the Kingdom of Jeypore sometime in the 15th century. Before this, it was probably ruled by the Silavamsi Dynasty. Ruins of 10th century Jain temples in the district point to a presence of that sect as well. The Jeypore Rajas became tributaries to the Qutb Shahi Dynasty of Hyderabad by 1580. This suzerainty later passed to the Mughals, the Nizam of Hyderabad and finally descended to the East India Company when the Northern Circars were ceded to them by Emperor Shah Alam in 1765.
After cession, the district formed a part of the Madras Presidency but was largely left in the hands of the local Zamindars owing to its remote location. For administrative purposes, the entire area from the foothills of the Eastern Ghats to the boundaries of Bastar State was added to the Vishakhapatnam District. This included the present day Rayagada, Malkangiri and Nabarangpur districts as well. The Collector of the District functioned in an additional capacity as Agent to the Governor of Madras in this area and exercised significant powers of criminal justice, revenue and civil law. The usual Civil and Criminal procedure codes of British India were not applied and the tract was known as the Agency. In 1863, two Assistant Agents were appointed at Jeypore and Parvatipuram to aid the Agent in his duties.
Except for a short-lived experiment of clubbing Agency areas of Ganjam, East Godavari District and Vishakhapatnam under a Commissioner in 1920, the administrative system remained unchanged till 1st April, 1936 when almost all of the Agency areas of Vishakhapatnam District along with the associated zamindaris were clubbed together to form the undivided Koraput District. The district, along with Sambalpur District and the coastal districts of Ganjam, Balasore, Puri, Cuttack and Angul together constituted a new Orissa Province of British India. It was the first linguistic province of India and Koraput became its largest district in size. A District Magistrate was appointed who was assisted by two Sub Divisional Magistrates at Rayagada and the headquarters. The district had a total of 8 Talukas- later replaced by Tahsils and Blocks. Nabarangpur subdivision was created in 1941, followed by Gunupur and Malkangiri subdivisions in 1962 and Jeypore some years later. Finally, the district was divided into four new districts in 1992 - the Jeypore and Koraput subdivisions together constituted the new truncated district of Koraput.
The district was severely affected by Naxalism after 2000, though instances of violence have come down after 2014. It is currently a part of the Red Corridor and has extensive deployment of police and paramilitary forces at sensitive places.[2]
Geography and ClimateEdit
Koraput comes under the Eastern Ghat Highland Agro climatic Zone. It is composed of two separate plateaus at an average elevation of 3000 and 2000 feet respectively which are separated from each other and the surrounding plains by a ring of hills.
The 3000 feet plateau forms the boundary of the district with Andhra Pradesh and part of Rayagada district. A line of hills marks its outer boundary to the east reaching a height of 5486 feet at Deomali, the highest peak of Odisha, near Pottangi and 5316 feet at Sinkaram Gutta near Araku on the Andhra Pradesh border. Most of the hills have been denuded of forests due to generations of shifting cultivation and lack any major wildlife. The rainfall averages approximately 160 cm and falls in the Monsoon months of July-August. The plateau itself is marked by undulating hills and valleys through which numerous streams run down to join the Indravati to the north and the tributaries of the Godavari to the south. Most of the land is given over to the cultivation of paddy, ragi and flax. Narayanapatna and Bandhugaon blocks of the district are located before the ring of hills as noted above and geographically form a part of the Nagavali River valley, being located at a significantly lower altitude. The district headquarter town of Koraput is located on this plateau, as are most of the industrial areas of the district.
The Jeypore subdivision is a part of the 2000 feet plateau and forms approximately the western third of the district. It is divided from the 3000 feet plateau by a range of hills that runs from the Malkangiri border to the Indravati river. Low hills, some of them reaching to about 3000 feet mark this plateau. They are occasionally covered with jungle but most of the land is given over to paddy cultivation. The plateau gradually slopes west towards Bastar and falls through another ring of hills to the lower plains of Malkangiri to the south. The rainfall is slightly higher and averages about 190 cm annually.
The district overall has a warm and humid type of climate, though significantly more pleasant than the rest of Odisha. Mean Maximum summer temperature is 34.1 C and Mean Minimum Winter temperature is 10.4 C. The temperature on the 3000 feet plateau is often much lower and can approach close to freezing during peak winter at certain places.
Three large rivers flow through Koraput district. The Indravati rises in Kalahandi District and is dammed immediately afterwards, forming a large reservoir - the backwaters of which have cut off certain villages in Dasmantapur Block of Koraput. The river then forms the boundary between Koraput and Nabarangpur district throughout before entering Chhattisgarh near Nagarnar, slightly north of the main Jeypore-Jagdalpur road.
The Kolab River rises near the Andhra Pradesh border at Sinkaram. It then flows north west in a winding course before reaching the Kolab Dam slightly south of Koraput town. The massive reservoir has a catchment area of 1630 sq km and spans the Sadar, Semiliguda and Nandapur blocks of the district. After the dam, the river descends onto the 2000 feet plateau at Bagra near Jeypore through a small cataract before flowing north west and then suddenly south in Kundura block. It then enters the Bastar district before turning east again and forming the border with Koraput. It finally flows into Malkangiri and onwards to the Godavari River.
The Machchkund enters the district near Chatwa on the Araku road. It forms the boundary between Odisha and Andhra Pradesh for many kilometers before the Jalaput Dam. It then continues along the southern boundary of the district in a series of rapids before falling down 540 feet at Duduma Waterfalls. The river is tapped here for the Machchkund Power Plant. It then flows through a close gorge through Malkangiri before going on to join the Sabari River.
AdministrationEdit
The district administration is headed by a Collector and District Magistrate, usually called the Collector who combines in his office the roles of revenue collection, law and order maintenance and implementation of development programmes. He is assisted at headquarters by an Additional District Magistrate (ADM) and by two Sub Collectors cum Sub Divisional Magistrates posted at Koraput and Jeypore for the first two roles. Below subdivision level, the district is divided into 14 Blocks which are co-terminus with Tahsils. While the former deals with the development aspect, the latter is a revenue unit. The Block Development Officer (BDO) and Tahsildar cum Executive Magistrate are the respective heads of each. The Collector and one of the Sub Collectors are usually officers of the Indian Administrative Service while the other officers belong to the Odisha Administrative Service.
The 14 Blocks/Tahsils in Koraput district under two sub-divisions are listed in the following table.

3 Dasamantapur Borigumma
4 Laxmipur Kotpad
5 Machhakund (Lamtaput) Kundura
6 Nandapur
7 Narayanpatna
8 Pottangi
9 Similiguda
In addition to the officers noted above, a Project Director of the District Rural Development Agency, usually belonging to the Indian Administrative Service is posted at Koraput. He supervises the functioning of the BDOs directly and reports to the Collector. Various line departments like education, health care, agriculture are headed by officers of the rank of Deputy Collectors who are also directly under the operational control of the Collector. All departments also have a parallel setup at the block level with the BDO directly supervising the field level functionaries. Each block is further divided into Gram Panchayats. Koraput has a total of 240 Panchayats which are headed by an elected head called the Sarpanch assisted by an Executive Officer.
The four urban areas of Koraput, Kotpad, Sunabeda and Jeypore are each headed by an Executive Officer who report to the Collector through the Project Director, District Urban Development Agency.
Maintenance of law and order is supervised by the Superintendent of Police (SP), an officer of the Indian Police Service. The SP is technically under the Collector but in practice is almost completely independent except for certain statutory functions. He is assisted by Additional and Deputy SPs at the headquarters and by SDPOs at police subdivision levels. The district has a total of 23 thanas or Police Stations, each headed by an Inspector in-charge. Owing to the Naxalite issue, Koraput has a heavier than usual police presence and companies of Border Security Force, Central Reserve Police Force and the Special Operations Group of the Odisha Police are deployed throughout the district.
There are two Divisional Forest Officers posted in the District for each subdivision. They belong to the Indian Forest Service and are responsible for the preservation of wildlife and management of forests.
The civil and criminal justice system are under the District and Sessions Judge at Jeypore. He is assisted by Additional District Judges, Civil Judges (Senior and Junior) Divisions and Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrates. The Collector, ADM and SDMs are also Executive Magistrates and report to the District and Sessions Judge in that capacity.
The entire district is a designated area under the 5th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. This means that sale of tribal land to non-tribals is prohibited. In addition, there are other legal and cultural protections extended to the tribal population of the district.
According to the 2011 census Koraput district has a population of 1,379,647,[4] roughly equal to the nation of Swaziland[5] or the US state of Hawaii.[6] This gives it a ranking of 356th in India (out of a total of 640).[4] The district has a population density of 156 inhabitants per square kilometre (400/sq mi) .[4] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 16.63%.[4] Koraput has a sex ratio of 1031 females for every 1000 males, significantly higher than the national average of 940[4] and a literacy rate of 49.21%, much lower than the national figure.
Scheduled Castes make up 14.21% of the population while 50.6% of the population hails from Scheduled Tribes.[4] The district has one of the highest tribal populations in Odisha and is a Scheduled District under the Constitution of India. This prohibits sale and purchase of tribal land by non-tribals. As many as 51 different tribes have been noted in the undivided district - each with its own language and culture. Broadly they can be divided into three major classes[7]
Dravidian peoples represented by Kondh. Poraja, Gond and Koya, forming the major part of the tribal population.
Austro-Asiatic peoples (Munda or Kolarian peoples): the Savara, Gadaba and Bondas, one of the most primitive tribes.
Groups like Omanatya and Bhumia, whose origin is not clearly known and who have adopted the local languages.
The non tribal population is mostly of the castes and communities common to the rest of Odisha. The only addition here is of a substantial Telugu element. Many of the Scheduled Caste communities like the Malas and Madigas are the same as that of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Telugus form an important commercial class and are also to be found in Government employment.
LanguagesEdit
At the time of the 2011 Census of India, 78.19% of the population in the district spoke Odia, 10.21% Kui, 3.46% Telugu, 2.81% Kuvi, 2.10% Gutob and 1.49% Bhatri as their first language.[8]
As regards the tribal dialects of Koraput district in Orissa, it may be noted that no proper survey has ever been made. But attempts have been made by different individuals to make a study of the various tribal languages of the district. Kui, as noted above, is the mostly widely spoken of the tribal dialects. The percentage of people speaking tribal language in Koraput district has reduced from 37 percent in 1931 census to less than 20 percent today. A large number of tribals of the district have adopted non-tribal languages as Odia is the medium of instruction in Government schools.
Standard Odia as used in the district is the same as that in the rest of the state. However, the spoken Odia used has significant differences from that of Coastal Odisha. An important marker is the lack of stress on the last consonant of a word. This is spoken rapidly and the schwa is often dropped. Many words used are now obsolete in Standard Odia or are considered rude. The use of the respectful pronoun is rare and even elders are referred to using the more familiar pronoun used for those similar or younger in age. This dialect is called Desia by the speakers.
Many tribals inhabiting the hills separating the two states speak a mixture of Odia and Telugu. Narayanapatna, located on the other side of the hills, also has a large Telugu speaking population. This language is virtually the same as that spoken in Srikakulum.
Another languages include Bhatri and Bhunjia, which falls within the Odia language group but only shares about 60% lexical similarity with Oriya. It is spoken along the border with Bastar and is a language that is midway between Odia and Marathi language.[9] [10]

Odia (78.19%)
Kui (10.21%)
Telugu (3.46%)
Kuvi (2.81%)
Gutob (2.10%)
Bhatri (1.49%)
Others (1.74%)
ReligionEdit
Hinduism is the dominant religion of the district with more than 93.8% of the population being returned as Hindus in the Census of 2011. However, in practice, there exist significant differences in the identification with mainstream Hinduism. Almost all tribes have a distinction between a Hindu-ised segment that follows the rites and rituals of Hinduism and another one that still worships the indigenous deities and follows rules of worship that are different from the general practice of the faith. Intermarriage and dining together are often the differentiating markers between these groups.
Christianity is practised by approximately 5% of the population. The Evengelical German Lutheran Church has been active in Koraput since more than a century .Adherents mostly belong to the Scheduled Castes. Both Koraput and Jeypore have large churches while smaller ones can be found throughout the district.
Muslims form a minuscule proportion of the population owing to the district's isolation from the plains. Most Muslims are recent migrants from the rest of Odisha who are employed at Koraput, Jeypore or at the NALCO unit at Damanjodi. However, the village of Thuba in Nandapur block has a community that is native to the district and is probably descended from demobilised Qutb Shahi soldiers who had invaded Koraput around the 16th century. Scattered Islamic shrines can also be found at Narayanapatna which had a small Muslim community till about a century ago.
Minuscule communities of Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains are also found in the towns. Most of them are migrants from North India who are involved in trade and commerce. The Buddhists are Tibetan refugees who deal in woolen clothes.
EconomyEdit
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Koraput one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640).[11] It is one of the 19 districts in Odisha currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).[11]
AgricultureEdit
The district economy mainly depends on agriculture and which mainly depends on rainfall. The rainfall depends on South-West monsoon. Out of total cropping area of 296000ha in Koraput, irrigation potential in Kharif is 30.71% and in Rabi is 21.51%. Generally crops grown during Rabi like Paddy, Wheat, Maize, Ragi, Mung, Biri, Groundnut, Mustard, Field Pea, Sunflower etc. needs assured irrigation.[1]
Jeypore tract of the Koraput district is known as one of the centres of origin of rice. The people of Koraput district, notably the adivasis have generated and conserved many indigenous cultivars of rice that are suitable for both dryland and wetland cultivation. The Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) in 2012 recognised the service of the communities of Koraput in ensuring food security by declaring the Koraput district as a Global Agricultural Heritage Site
Major IndustriesEdit
There are only five Large Scale industries located in the district manufacturing & Processing Alumina, Paper, Cement, Aeronautical Engine & hydro electricity. The general pattern of non-agricultural employment, however, leans heavily towards small-scale and household industries
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited(HAL) - Sunabeda
NALCO-Damanjodi
BILT PAPERMILL-Jeypore
Kolab Hydroelectric Power Station
Macha kunda Hydroelectric power station Under Lamptaput Block
Kodingamali bauxite mines

Places Of InterestEdit
Subei Jain temple
Subai Jain templesEdit
Subai Jain temples complex consists of 5 temples built in 4th century. One temple is famous for its rare images of the tirthankaras surrounding an image of Rishabhanatha.[12] An idol of a four-armed Tara (a Jain yakshi) in the temple complex is also noteworthy. A Parab festival is organised by the temple management every year.[13] A 4 feet (1.2 m) Jain idol was discovered in 2020 during excavation.[14]
NaxalismEdit
Naxalism is a serious matter of concern in south Odisha, including Koraput district, since around 2000. Earlier, the naxalite activities were confined to districts such as Malkangiri, which share its borders with the neighboring states. With time, the naxal activities has spread to Koraput as well as other districts like Rayagada or Nabarangpur. The inaccessible hilly terrain, dense forests, lack of development, grievances of the tribals and poor, and the absence of administration have been conducive to the spread of left-wing extremism in Odisha. The seriousness of the problem was underlined by a co-ordinated Naxalite attack on the District Headquarters and armoury at Koraput on February 6, 2004.[15]
Naxal group, namely People's War Group (PWG), has carried out numerous operations (attacks on rich farmers, police, bureaucrats and politicians, loots from godowns) within last few years in Koraput as well as in its neighboring districts.CoBRA BN of CRPF was deployed here for this purpose and it has helped to reduce Naxal activities to a large extent.[16]
Owing to its hilly terrain, transport in Koraput is dependent upon certain trunk roads that climb up the passes on the Eastern Ghats. National Highway 26 takes off from National Highway 16 near Vizianagaram. It enters the district before Sunki and rises to around 3500 feet at Ralegada through a number of sharp curves. It then descends onto the 3000 feet plateau and passes Pottangi and Kunduli before meeting the alternative road to Vishakhapatnam through Araku at Similiguda. The road then passes Koraput and descends through a steep ghat to Jeypore before going straight north through Borigumma to Nabarangpur. NH 63 takes off from this road at Borigumma and proceeds straight west through Kotpad to Jagdalpur in Bastar. Major District Roads connect the road to other parts of the district.
Secondary major roads include NH 326 that enters from Rayagada before passing through Lakshmipur and Kakirigumma to join NH 26. It then diverges again at Jeypore to pass through Boipariguda before entering Malkangiri district near Mathili.
Koraput railway station is a junction station on Kirandul-Visakhapatnam railway line that branches towards Rayagada railway station on the other side. Other main railheads include Jeypore, Kotpad Road Station, Damanjodi, and Lakshmipur Road.
An airport has been constructed at Jeypore but is yet to be commissioned.

Smoke-free entertainment venues in Louisiana: will Shreveport join the vanguard?
Bears on Fairfield recently featured Papa Mali and Brady Blade, Jr, in a wailing show that was unusual by omission: no one in the crowded bar was smoking.
While it had support from New Orleans radio station WWOZ, the initiative for a smoke-free evening came from www.healthierairforall.org. To sweeten the no-smoking pitch, WWOZ gave away shirts and stickers.
Across the southern part of the Bayou State the smoke-free movement is gaining ground. Lafayette and New Orleans are leading Baton Rouge, it would seem. Btw, Fat Harry's, St Charles Ave, is listed as a non-smoking tavern; can that be true?
The number of events listed as smoke-free in the decadent Crescent City is surprising: from the ReBirth Brass Band at Howlin' Wolf to the Charmaine Neville Band at Snug Harbor, you can go from music venue to venue and skip the smoke.
Will this movement ever be viable in Shreveport? It is primarily designed to aid the men and women who serve drinks and food and make music in a state where those activities are a huge factor in tourism.
Chase Boytim of Bears on Fairfield says he would be open to more smoke-free evenings. For the moment the only venue in Shreveport listed as smoke-free is On The Rocks, the lobby bar at the Hilton Convention Center. New Orleans lists over 100 venues as non-smoking. Baton Rouge has 34. All bars in Alexandria, Monroe and West Monroe are described as "100% smoke-free."
In regards the health of Bayou State citizens, entities such as Blue Cross are promoting prevention as a strategy that makes more health sense and gives more economic advantage than hospitalization and late-development medication. And a new generation is learning a new way: state legislative Act 211, passed and signed, prohibits smoking on all public college campuses.
Most Louisianians were raised to believe that smoking is a birth right. And they believe that smoking in bars is an inviolable item that is specifically protected by the constitution.
Is that attitude negotiable? Is Louisiana capable of the reflection and debate that might lead to an alternative to smoke-filled taverns? If not, then Shreveport is capital of the contrarians. If yes, the city might experiment a bit more with "smoke-free" as an incentive to hit the town. Photos by M.C. Rollo of the Papa Mali gig.
Before the giant Wayne White puppets strut - btw, there may be something at which to gawk at 6 pm - at 7:30 pm, people will gather on historic Texas Ave to party and shop for original art which is cheap ($10 - $20) in the Shipping Container Galleries. Lots to do at UnScene Wayne White, sponsored by the Shreveport regional Arts Council.
The map below is from the event which was rained out, so not everything may apply. It remains a helpful graphic.
From the fall of 1948 until the fall of 1950, Zeke Clements called Shreveport home. During this time, he hosted radio shows (music as well as news programs), performed on the Louisiana Hayride, and recorded this song about his "home sweet home" Louisiana.
In addition to goods for sale, expect carefully rendered pop classics from the Recliners, Jim Huckabay and Bob Thompson, at the South Highlands Summer Market. The Recliners may be found near the fresh produce. Check around the tomatoes.
Stephanie Fernanadez is the girl of a thousand faces. The art created by the 19 year-old painter, photographer and videographer is powerful enough to have won praise from Buzzfeed.com, Good Morning America, the Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan and other global media ports. Her fame has been won with faces transformed by color and line into otherworldly figures.
Fernandez admits that much of her spectacularly colorful make-up work falls into the category of "colorful / creepy / gory." She says, "this style is influenced by my passion for horror movies & psychological thrillers."
But she is even more influenced by music, says Fernandez and her friends. Says Justin Powell, "Music is very, very important to her. Images come from the world she hears. She channels the sound into her work." And musician friend Jeremy Hefner points out that a female duo called CocoRosie has been a big influence. In fact, Fernandez' best movie, "Rosalee," an ominous 12-minute piece featuring 8 silent actors (the seven deadly sins plus a heroine), uses 4 evocative CocoRosie songs as the soundtrack.
"Most of my makeup is heavily influenced by music," she says. "I love to be able to create and see what I am hearing, if that makes sense. I hear it and I do my best to create a visual of what and how I feel. Other than music and movies-nature, dark art, psychedelic/pop surrealistic art, and other artists inspire me. I strive to constantly create beauty." That is apparent in the 4 tutorial videos she has produced. In the fast-forward camera work her hands work deftly, whether using fingers or brush. Colors are blended like butter.
She asks, "How do I come up with these ideas and concepts? I simply see it in my mind's eye and my hands do the rest. Haha; the ideas honestly just come to me. It is not something I can explain with words."
"Big, open spaces and the colors found in nature are not so apparent but are important themes" in Fernandez' work, says friend and model Madison Brown. Pointing out a recent series of fawn faces accented with antlers, Brown sees subtlety, which is not how Fernandez has attracted media attention.
That she is in the media spotlight may have something to do with her storytelling ability. A sharp photographer, Fernandez typically publishes 4 to 6 photos of steps leading to the finished image.
On her vivid Instagram stream the self-described "complex individual" has some 55.000 followers. Yet she remains quiet and modest about her notoriety. "People who know her do not necessarily realize that she is so widely recognized," says Hefner.
Her website, stephaniefernandezart.com, tells a more expanded story. She makes movies. She makes masks. She paints in acrylic. She says, " I would love to direct movies and creative direct music videos and well as open a studio to create SFX masks, canvas pieces, and many other mediums. I love the film, fashion, and music industries. I have no limits. My mind is constantly moving. I want to do it all."
Note: Stephanie Fernandez graduated from Airline HS, Bossier City, and has taken media classes at Bossier Parish Community College. In art she is self taught.
Artist C. Mark Burt, Bossier City, has created a new series of soft, terrabudial sculptures to accompany his intramodial paintings. Several sculptures will be part of the Chaos exhibit at Ro2 Gallery, Dallas. The annual exhibit opening is mobbed; Ro2 displays work by 100 artists in the small gallery.

The Wayne White Puppet Parade will roll on Sat, July 12, 5:30 pm, in Shreveport Common, says Shreveport Regional Arts Council. Re-scheduled 2 weeks ago due to rain, the UnScene parade will feature dancers, drummers, stilt walkers and bands. The audience is encouraged to join the throng as the art and train of artists marches on Texas Ave and circumnavigates the streets around Central Artstation.
In the puppet population will be Elvis, Hank Williams, Bonnie and Clyde, Annie McCune, Cora M. Allen, the Cajun alligator and additional personalities.
While there, see the Shipping Container Galleries on Texas Ave, featuring the work of Nicola and Qean Balllard, painter Jormie Journell and sketcher Robert Trudeau. Catch E.E.M. United and Emily Daye's "Racing Hearts" installation. There will be food trucks, too. The parade is free and appropriate for the whole family.

The fluttering pages of a rudimentary book were recently painted atop one of Shreveport's most signal historic brick towers, the Shreveport Ice and Brewing Company building. It is probably not the graffiti of a local tagger. It is a symbol that has been painted on buildings coast to coast. "It has been part of the street scene in New Orleans for years," said a local source. It is the sign of a street writer or writers called Read More Books.
Juxtapoz.com says, "Juggling between countless names, monikers, and cities, remaining elusive and off the radar, READ has been an effective force behind the graffiti of Read More Books," in a Dec article.
Doug MacCash, arts writer for Nola.com, recognized a wave of Read writing in New Orleans in a 2009 post in which he said, " Gaia, a Brooklyn street artist, said that though he doesn't know Mr. READ (aka Read More Books or The Booker), he believes that the ambitious tagger has hit San Francisco, Cleveland and New York, as well as New Orleans."
On the top of the 1904 Shreveport Ice and Brewing edifice there is an additional sign: a whistle. It is emblazoned with the initials WB. That may or may not refer to "whistle blower." Heliopolis's anonymous source added, "The whistle, which is also a national phenomenon, has been seen in downtown Shreveport recently."
MacCash continued, "As an art critic, I've always been ambivalent about reviewing graffiti. On one hand, most graffiti remains more antisocial that artistic. On the other, graffiti is very fashionable these days, and, let's face it, way more people see it than ever cross the threshold of an art gallery or museum."
"This week, in addition to our regular Tuesday and Saturday markets, we'll be presenting, along with KTBS, a Friday, 4th of July market," says Noma Fowler-Sandlin.
"It will take place from 7 a.m. to noon, all tucked into the East Pavilion. It will be a little bigger than a Tuesday market, but still not as large as a Saturday one. See you there!"
Shrapnel Stage Company will hold auditions for award-winning mystery The Other Place, says John F Daniel.
Auditions are 2 pm to 5 pm Sunday July 6 and 6 pm to 9 pm Monday, July 7, at the East Bank Theatre, 630 Barksdale Blvd in Bossier City. Scripts are not available beforehand. The director would prefer everyone do a cold read, but all are welcome to look up articles and video clips of the show which are available online.
Juliana: late 40's to mid 50's, The Woman: mid 20's to early 30's, The man: early to mid 30's and Ian: late 40's to mid 50's.
The production will be directed by Daniel, a seasoned actor and director. Reach him at nitejonboy24@aol.com.

Q: Evaluate $\lim\limits_{x\to \infty} \frac{\int_0^x \left(\arctan t \right)^2\,dt}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$
Evaluate
  $\lim\limits_{x\to \infty} \frac{\int_0^x \left(\arctan t \right)^2\,dt}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$

My attempt was to start doing the integral by parts but at some point it just didn't work. Is there a simple way to do it ? Any help will be appreciated ! ( also, this is a highschool problem, so i would like to see some hints at that level) .

A: $\begin{align}\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty} \dfrac{\int_0^x \left(\arctan t \right)^2\mathrm{dt}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\left(\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}\right)&=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty} \dfrac{\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\displaystyle\int_0^x \left(\arctan t \right)^2\mathrm{dt}}{\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\sqrt{x^2+1}}\text{ (L'Hospital rule)}\\&=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty} \dfrac{\left(\arctan x \right)^2\cdot1-\left(\arctan 0\right)^2\cdot0+\displaystyle\int_0^x \dfrac{\partial \left(\arctan t\right)^2}{\partial x}\mathrm{dt}}{\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\sqrt{x^2+1}}\text{(Leibnitz rule)}\\&=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty} \dfrac{\left(\arctan x \right)^2}{\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}\\&= \dfrac{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}\left(\arctan x \right)^2}{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}\\&=\dfrac{\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^2}{1}\\&=\dfrac{\pi^2}{4}\end{align}$

A: Hints: Use l'Hospital. This is something like $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$.
Also use fundamental theorem of calculus that states that $$\frac d{dx}\int_0^xf(t)dt=f(x)$$
Let me know if this is enough.

A: If you do not want to use L'Hopital's rule, here is my proposition :
Let $ x>0 $, using the substitution : $ \left\lbrace\begin{aligned}u&=\frac{1}{x}\\ \mathrm{d}x&=-\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{u^{2}}\end{aligned}\right. $, we get : \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{x}{\arctan^{2}{t}\,\mathrm{d}t}&=\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{1}{u^{2}}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\arctan{u}\right)^{2}\,\mathrm{d}u}\\ &=\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{u^{2}}}-\pi\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}+\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan^{2}{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}\\ \int_{0}^{x}{\arctan^{2}{t}\,\mathrm{d}t}&=\frac{\pi^{2}x}{4}-\pi\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}+\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan^{2}{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u} \end{aligned}
Now, since $ \frac{\arctan^{2}{t}}{t^{2}}=\underset{\overset{t\to +\infty}{}}{\mathcal{O}}\left(\frac{1}{t^{2}}\right) $, and $ t\overset{f}{\mapsto}\frac{\arctan^{2}{t}}{t^{2}} $ is extendable by continuity at $ 0 $, $ f $ is integrable on $ \mathbb{R}^{+} $, meaning $ \lim\limits_{x\to +\infty}{\int\limits_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan^{2}{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}}=\int\limits_{0}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan^{2}{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}=C \cdot $
Since $ \left(\forall u>0\right), \arctan{u}\leq u $, we get : $$ \left|\frac{1}{x}\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{1}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}\right|\leq\frac{1}{x}\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{1}{\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{u}}=\frac{\ln{x}}{x}\underset{x\to +\infty}{\longrightarrow} 0 $$
Thus, $ \frac{1}{x}\int\limits_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}=\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_{\frac{1}{x}}^{1}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}+\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_{1}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}\underset{x\to +\infty}{\longrightarrow}0 \cdot $
Hence $$ \frac{1}{x}\int_{0}^{x}{\arctan^{2}{u}\,\mathrm{d}u}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}-\frac{\pi}{x}\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}+\frac{1}{x}\int_{\frac{1}{x}}^{+\infty}{\frac{\arctan^{2}{u}}{u^{2}}\,\mathrm{d}u}\underset{x\to +\infty}{\longrightarrow}\frac{\pi^{2}}{4} $$
Which leads to $$ \lim_{x\to +\infty}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\int_{0}^{x}{\arctan^{2}{u}\,\mathrm{d}u}}=\lim_{x\to +\infty}{\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}}\times\frac{1}{x}\int_{0}^{x}{\arctan^{2}{u}\,\mathrm{d}u}}=1\times\frac{\pi^{2}}{4} $$

A: Note that
$${x\over\sqrt{x^2+1}}\to1\quad\text{as }x\to\infty$$
so we can replace the denominator in the limit with simply $x$. Now integration by parts tells us
$$\int_0^x(\arctan t)^2dt=x(\arctan x)^2-\int_0^x{2t\arctan t\over1+t^2}dt$$
so
$${1\over x}\int_0^x(\arctan t)^2dt=(\arctan x)^2-{1\over x}\int_0^x{2t\arctan t\over1+t^2}dt$$
and, since $\arctan t$ is an increasing function with limit $\pi/2$ as $t\to\infty$,
$$0\le{1\over x}\int_0^x{2t\arctan t\over1+t^2}dt\le{\arctan x\over x}\int_0^x{2t\over1+t^2}dt={\arctan x\log(1+x^2)\over x}\le{\pi\over2}{\log(1+x^2)\over x}\to0$$
Thus
$${1\over x}\int_0^x(\arctan t)^2dt\to\left(\pi\over2\right)^2-0={\pi^2\over4}$$
Remark: The limit ${\log(1+x^2)\over x}\to0$ can be found either via L'Hopital or from some cleverly crude integral inequalities:
$$\begin{align}
0\le{\log(1+x^2)\over x}={1\over x}\int_0^x{2t\over1+t^2}dt
&={2\over x}\left(\int_0^{x^{1/3}}{t\over1+t^2}dt+\int_{x^{1/3}}^{x^{2/3}}{t\over1+t^2}dt+\int_{x^{2/3}}^x{t\over1+t^2}dt\right)\\
&\le{2\over x}\left({x^{1/3}(x^{1/3}-0)\over1}+{x^{2/3}(x^{2/3}-0)\over(x^{1/3})^2}+{x(x-0)\over(x^{2/3})^2}\right)\\
&={2\over x}\left(x^{2/3}+x^{2/3}+x^{2/3} \right)\\
&={6\over x^{1/3}}\to0
\end{align}$$

Q: Next JS with styled components component library Im trying to get next js to load properly with a transpiled styled components component library. Here is a simple repo for reproducing the problem: https://github.com/vongohren/fouc-example
So what happens is that I have a small app that renders the components, but it does not showcase the style on the SSR request, only when the client has been loaded.
Im trying all cases where I do the loading inside the document: https://github.com/zeit/next.js/blob/canary/examples/with-styled-components/pages/_document.js
But it is not able to catch the css from the components. Only the components built in the SSR function itself, and not the components I import.
How can I debug this and figure out how the CSS can be attached on the SSR request as well, and not just the loading of the JS.
I was able to get something to work when using https://github.com/callstack/linaria in the components library, because that outputs a CSS file, I was able to import and add to the SSR rendering. But how can I approach this with styled-components?

A: I saw your repo and it looks like your .babelrc could be changed.
This config works well for me:
"plugins": [
        [
          "babel-plugin-styled-components",
          {
            "ssr": true,
            "displayName": true,
            "preprocess": false,
            "minify": false
          }
        ]
      ]

The styles are loaded in SSR and no weird flickering is happening. I hope this helps you out.

Panagiotis Iliopoulos (, * 1967 in Athen) ist Mitglied der rechtsextremen     griechischen Partei Chrysí Avgí. Von der Parlamentswahl in Griechenland Mai 2012 war er bis 2019 Abgeordneter des griechischen Parlaments. Er und andere Mitglieder der Partei wurden im Oktober 2020 wegen der Bildung einer kriminellen Organisation zu mehreren Jahren Haft verurteilt.

Leben
Im September 2012 kam es in Rafina zu gewalttätigen Angriffen auf Marktverkäufer mit vermeintlichem Migrationshintergrund durch Mitglieder der Chrysí Avgí, zuvor kontrollierten die Abgeordneten Giorgos Germenis und Panagiotis Iliopoulos Verkaufslizenzen.

Ebenfalls im September 2012 tauchte ein Bild von Iliopoulos auf, auf dem auf der Innenseite seines linken Oberarms neben dem tätowierten Logo der Chrysí Avgí auch eine Tätowierung in altdeutscher Schrift mit dem Schriftzug "Sieg Heil" zu sehen ist.

Im Interview mit der Daily Mail reagierte Panagiotis auf die Frage, was er gegen illegale Immigranten unternehmen werde, mit der Antwort: "Wir werden jeden Einzelnen von Ihnen nach Hause fliegen." Auf die Frage, was er gegen die rassistischen Gangs der Chrysí Avgí tun werde, die jeden schlagen, der nicht Grieche ist, antwortete er: "Wir haben Millionen Unterstützer, manche wilderen Elemente. Wir können sie nicht alle kontrollieren."

Im Januar 2014 wurde Iliopoulos in Untersuchungshaft genommen. Er wird verdächtigt, eine Schlüsselrolle in einer kriminellen Organisation innezuhaben, die für Angriffe auf Migranten verantwortlich gemacht wird.

Parteikarriere
Iliopoulos ließ sich 2012 in Thessalien für Magnisia zur Wahl aufstellen und wurde in das griechische Parlament gewählt.

Im September 2012 wurde Iliopoulos in Volos festgenommen, nachdem er während Ausschreitungen mit Gegendemonstranten eine Waffe gezogen hatte.

Iliopoulos stellte im Oktober 2012 eine Anfrage an die Universität der Ägäis, wie viele Studierende in den Schlafräumen der Universität Ausländer sind und wie viele Studierende Griechen. Vizerektor Nikos Soulakellis sagte, er fühle sich durch diese Anfrage beleidigt.

Das griechische Parlament stimmte im Oktober 2012 für die Aufhebung der Immunität von Iliopoulos.

Iliopoulos wurde im Mai 2013 des Parlaments verwiesen, weil er Abgeordnete von anderen Parteien beleidigte. Ein SYRIZA – Enotiko Kinoniko Metopo-Abgeordneter sagte, Iliopoulos habe drei Mal "Sieg Heil" gerufen, bevor er den Saal verließ, nachdem der Sicherheitsdienst gerufen worden war.

High quality 2.1mm DC bulkhead mount female power connector which are suitable for use up to +24vdc @ 5 Amps. These connectors have been tested by Mini-Kits as being to a very high quality construction, and are used on our built products.
These connectors should not be compared to the non brand name cheap Chinese types that look similar, but fall apart when the nut is tightened, and often cannot handle much current before getting warm.

A group of Filipinos based in the United States, convened by prominent business leader Loida Nicolas-Lewis and lawyer Ted Laguatan, has called for a boycott of China-made products as a way of protesting China's bullying behavior in the disputed waters of the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). They are not talking of a government-supported initiative, but of a purely consumer-led boycott driven by patriotic sentiments. What are the chances of such a call gaining any traction in the Philippines?
Let us leave aside for the moment any discussion of the possible political and economic repercussions of such a movement, and focus instead on its feasibility and sociological implications. My view is that a call to boycott Chinese products at this time may gain broad public support if it is made by credible public figures and social movements. But I am less hopeful that such a call will make any dent on Filipino consumer behavior.
Only a few things are capable of unifying the nation, apart from the successes of individual Filipinos in the international arena. The most potent of them is conflict with another country, especially with an imperial power that uses its bigness to assert its dominance over us and threatens our sovereignty and freedom. Our people fought as one against Spain, the United States and Japan. It is not an exaggeration to say that our young nation was born in the fires of these valiant anticolonial struggles.
There is thus no reason to think that Filipinos cannot unite against a power like China if the need arises. Despite the fact that Chinese blood runs in the veins of easily half of all Filipinos, there is no love lost between Filipinos and the Chinese. Anti-Chinese prejudice permeates our national psyche. This resentment has unfortunate historical roots. It has survived over the centuries, and indeed is renewed in strength as Chinese-Filipinos gain supremacy over the national economy.
Therefore, a call to boycott Chinese products can easily gain adherents precisely because, whether we like it or not, it will tap into this vast reservoir of barely concealed racial resentments. It is worth mentioning that this prejudice is reciprocal. The bellicose chauvinism that fuels Chinese pronouncements against Filipinos in the Chinese media today is of the same kind, but made worse by China's politicians and military leaders who irresponsibly exploit these sentiments to push their own power agenda.
It would not be difficult to highlight the inferiority of China-made products, whether we are talking of Chinese cars, motorbikes, agricultural and industrial tools, or light consumer goods like household utensils, clothing, school supplies, and electrical and electronic products. Their sole attraction is their cheap price. One should not look for quality, reliability, style or durability in Chinese products. These goods currently occupy the lowest rung in the hierarchy of imported goods, far below those made in Japan or South Korea. People buy them because they are incredibly inexpensive, offering great value to low-income groups, the way Ma Ling in the early years of the Chinese export drive gave the Filipino poor an affordable version of Spam.
Still, it would not be fair to characterize all China-made products in these terms. Four years ago, my wife and I decided to buy a brand-new Chinese car that cost us less than P400,000. We still have the vehicle, an 800cc mini-car that we use as a second car for short rides. A couple of friends from UP saw me driving it, and, after being assured that it runs well, promptly got themselves their own minis. The problem is that after two years, many of these Chinese minis fell into disuse because there were no replacement parts available and, worse, every service center for this Chinese brand had disappeared. Luckily, for us, a new dealership with its own service center opened just a few weeks ago. But the damage to the brand's reputation has been done. I still believe it is a reasonably good car, though I am now hesitant to recommend it to my friends.
A campaign to boycott China-made goods would certainly hit Chinese branded goods like my car. But I doubt if it would affect the popularity of Apple products, which are designed in the United States but made in China. Many cars and motorcycles sporting the proud marques of European, American, and Japanese makers now use a lot of parts sourced from China. Many shoes and sports equipment, and affordable luxury items bearing the venerable logos of global companies are invariably made in China. Given the reality of worldwide supply chains on which almost all branded products now depend, it is no longer easy to determine which products are made where.
I grew up in an era when the goal of nation-building encouraged us to give preference to products made by our own people. I still think that the ideals that inspired many forms of economic nationalism should continue to remind us of the need to ceaselessly develop the productive capability of our people. At the same time, however, we cannot ignore the fact that today's economies are so interconnected with one another that it is almost delusional to attach the names of nations to what are, in reality, global products.
A call to boycott Chinese products will no doubt catch attention, but it will do nothing more beneficial to our people than perhaps to stimulate discussion on the Chinese threat. It may revive the spirit of patriotism among our people by offering them a chance to validate this in their daily lives. But I don't know how one can prevent the complex sentiments it will unleash from sliding into a destructive form of racism. This is what I fear, more than the expected retaliation from our haughty neighbor.


Here is a 5 ingredient, 15 minute dinner: Fast Fish Tacos. In Southern California, fish tacos are pretty much daily fare. You'll find them in all kinds of restaurants prepared in a variety of ways. This is a fresh, healthy and simple way to prepare fish tacos. I like mine with a 6th ingredient added (avocado) and sometimes a squeeze of lime too. This recipe is gluten free adaptable- please see tips below the recipe.
A quick and easy recipe for those tacos that have become a favorite in Southern California: Fish Tacos.
*Any flaky, white fish may be substituted for Tilapia.
*Using light sour cream is just fine.
*Plain yogurt may be substituted for sour cream.
*Using fresh salsa is important... the chunks of tomato and onion are mixed with with lime juice and cilantro, and these flavors are a wonderful, easy addition to the tacos.
*Shredded lettuce may be substituted for cabbage.
*If preparing this recipe as GLUTEN FREE- just be sure to use corn tortillas that are GF.
OMG! These are the best ever!! I find myself wanting to fix these ALOT! I looked at a ton of recipes before landing this one and I am soo glad I did..
Made these last night! They were very quick and delicious!!
Next time I might make a little less of the sauce because we had a lot leftover at the end of the meal. 3/4 a cup of sour cream + 3/4 a cup of salsa left us with a lot when everything was all done. I probably will do a 1/2 a cup or less next time. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing! The video was very helpful in making sure I did everything right. My newlywed husband (2 weeks!) and I loved it. Thanks!
These were fast and fantastic….I substituted my husbands home made pico de gallo for the salsa and my ten year old said on a scale of one to ten it was a 20! 🙂 Will definately make again! Super easy.
Looks fabulous! I look forward to making this soon!
I may be a bit naive about cooking, but what temperature should I set the oven to for the broiling? I have a convection oven that looks almost like the one in the video.
There should be a "broil" setting next to "bake" on your oven. Set it to broil instead of bake and you don't have to mess w/ the temp at all.
And arent those corn tortillas in your picture? Not flour..
The tortillas in the photo are indeed corn- you can use corn or flour for these tacos (as indicated).
I dunno why you didnt specify that you added tomato and onion to the salsa in the actual directions, but I wish you wouldve. No I have a tomato-less, onion-less taco.
I used fresh salsa from the market, which is made of tomato, onion, jalapeno, etc. No extra tomato or onion were added to the fresh salsa in my recipe. The already prepared salsa that you find in the fresh deli section of your market works perfectly!
Easy and simple recipes are what I like. The video was fantastic and well done. Glad I found your Blog.
Definitely trying the fish tacos. Looks great! I like you so spunky, lol.
Yum! Fish tacos are one of my all-time favorites. These look great!
Loved your video, Lori! And it's really a super-easy, super-yummy recipe!
Ahh, You've made me hungry for fish tacos once again and this looks like a yummy recipe I can handle. Off to the store!
@Heather (Heather's Dish), You're so sweet- thank you!!
Lori, this the first video of yours that I've seen….easy to follow, quick and the recipe looks solid!
I have yet to make fish tacos myself but this osunds like a very tasty rendition.
I really enjoyed the video, it's nice to see what you are like in real life and also it's the perfect length – I reckon 90 seconds or so is the ideal length. I'll let you know when I start my own little You Tube station!
The tacos look great by the way, I must have a go myself.
That is the most appetizing fast food I have seen in a while!!

Der Artushof  in Dresden ist ein unter Denkmalschutz stehendes Gebäude in der Fetscherstraße im Dresdner Stadtteil Johannstadt.

Beschreibung
Das an der Fetscherstraße 30 gelegene und als Hotel und Gaststätte genutzte Gebäude wurde 1899 von Franz Oskar Hartmann als dreigeschossiger gelb-roter Backsteinbau in historistischen Formen mit leichten Jugendstilanklängen errichtet. Der ursprüngliche Name des Hotels war Fürstenhof. Es ist das bestimmende Gebäude am früher Fürstenplatz genannten Fetscherplatz.

Geschichte
Von 1911 bis 1990 befand sich das Hotel im Besitz der Hoteliersfamilie Radiasch. Das Restaurant war in der Zeit der DDR von 1949 bis 1990 ein Volkseigener Betrieb unter dem Namen Ostrava. Benannt war das tschechische Nationalitätenrestaurant nach der mährenschlesischen Stadt Ostrau, die seit 1971 Partnerstadt Dresdens ist. Von 1992 bis 1993 wurde das Gebäude restauriert und in ein Appartementhotel umgewandelt. Stanislav Kvasnicak leitete über viele Jahre die Küche des  Nationalitätenrestaurants. Seine Familie führt die Tradition böhmischer Küche in der Spitzgrundmühle in Coswig weiter.

Pope Francis: It is our Christian duty to help people know Jesus
Hannah Brockhaus | Catholic News Agency
Pope Francis gives the Angelus address Jan. 17, 2021. (Vatican Media via CNA)
Pope Francis said Sunday it is our Christian duty to help people know Jesus, which we cannot do without giving of our lives in service and love.
"Many people, often without saying so, implicitly would like to 'see Jesus,' to meet him, to know him. This is how we understand the great responsibility we Christians and our communities have," the pope said March 21.
In his weekly Angelus address, he said, "we too must respond with the witness of a life that is given in service, of a life that takes upon itself the style of God -- closeness, compassion, and tenderness -- and gives itself in service."
Francis gave his Angelus address via livestream from inside his study in the apostolic palace, after Italy increased coronavirus restrictions around the country last week.
He explained that to give one's life in service means "sowing seeds of love, not with fleeting words but through concrete, simple and courageous examples, not with theoretical condemnations, but with gestures of love."
Pope Francis reflected on an episode in the day's Gospel from St. John, when Jesus is close to suffering his passion, and some Greeks, curious about what he has been doing, approach the apostle Philip and ask to see Jesus.
Jesus' response to this request "makes us think," the pope said. "He says: 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified... Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.'"
In his answer, "Jesus reveals that for every man and woman who wants to find him, He is the hidden seed ready to die in order to bear much fruit," Francis stated.
"Then the Lord, with his grace, makes us bear fruit, even when the soil is dry due to misunderstandings, difficulty or persecution, or claims of legalism or clerical moralism. This is barren soil," he continued. "Precisely then, in trials and in solitude while the seed is dying, that is the moment in which life blossoms, to bear ripe fruit in due time."
"It is in this intertwining of death and life that we can experience the joy and true fruitfulness of love…" he added.
Pope Francis explained that it is as if Jesus is saying: "if you wish to know me and understand me, look at the grain of wheat that dies in soil, look at the cross."
The cross, he said, is the symbol par excellence of Christians. Even in countries where Christianity is a minority, the sign of Christians is the crucifix, the cross: "In churches, in the homes of Christians, even worn on their persons."
"The important thing is that the sign be consistent with the Gospel: the cross cannot but express love, service, unreserved self-giving," he said.
After praying the Angelus, the pope recalled Italy's commemoration of the "Day of remembrance and commitment in memory of the innocent victims of the mafia."
"The mafia are present in various parts of the world and, exploiting the pandemic, they are enriching themselves through corruption," he noted.
"St. John Paul II denounced their 'culture of death,' and Benedict XVI condemned them as 'ways of death,'" he said. "These structures of sin, mafia structures, contrary to Christ's Gospel, exchange faith with idolatry."
"Today let us remember all the victims and let us renew our commitment against the mafia," Francis urged.
He also pointed to the March 22 celebration of "World Water Day," which he said "invites us to reflect on the value of this wonderful and irreplaceable gift of God."
"Too many brothers and sisters, so very many brothers and sisters have access to too little and perhaps polluted water," he said. "It is necessary to assure potable water and hygienic services to all. I thank and encourage those who, with diverse professionalism and responsibilities, work for this very important aim."

Steve O'Dea a Proven winner for syndicate
Mark Oberhardt

The decision by the Proven Thoroughbreds syndicate to increase their numbers with Eagle Farm trainer Steve O'Dea reaped another dividend when Cool Sequence continued on his path to the Magic Millions.
Cool Sequence ($3) led all the way and hung on to beat Crafty Spirit ($8.50) by a short half-head with another short half head to Tisani Tomso ($17) in the DSS Law Handicap (1200m) at Eagle Farm.
Jamie Walter's group has been a great supporter of O'Dea for a decade but the association has gone to a new level this season.
"Proven have 35 horses with us these days and they really have been a great support for me. They buy nice horses and it is a pleasure to train for them," O'Dea said.
"I don't keep count of the number of winners we have had for the syndicate but it would be well over 50. This season has been particularly good and let's hope that it continues."
Earlier in the day O'Dea and Proven Thoroughbreds had Gotta Kiss who was narrowly beaten in a two-year-old race.
"Gotta Kiss is headed for the Magic Millions day and so is Cool Sequence. Whether he is good enough to win a big race on Millions day remains to be seen but we will be giving him his chance," O'Dea said.
Apprentice Stephanie Thornton, who is apprenticed to O'Dea, rode her 13th metropolitan winner for the season on Cool Sequence.
"He just kept giving," she said.
Trainer Dan Bougoure was thrilled with the run of Crafty Spirit who is now headed to the summer carnival sprints.
"He wasn't fully wound up for today and I think bigger things are to come," he said.
Trainer Garnett Taylor is in no rush to take Queensland Oaks runner-up Dawson Diva interstate despite her impressive win in the Like Minded Painters Australia Plate (1600m).
Dawson Diva ($9.50), who was having her second run back from running second in the Group One Oaks, came from eight lengths off the leaders to swamp the field.
Taylor said he would eventually go interstate with Dawson Diva but would wait for the right time.


Changing the perception of voucher based gifts.
How do we change the perception of an experience voucher from a last minute gift to a become top of the christmas wish list?
Experiences are gifts with lasting power. They won't be returned or forgotten as soon as that moment of excitement is gone, but we needed to make different types of shoppers see this too.
We created the 'Unveil Unforgettable' campaign, focused around how quickly time flies especially around Christmas and how Virgin can make truly memorable. Unforgettable, even.
By identifying 3 different types of shoppers; the early bird, the bargain hunter and the last-minute shopper, we tailored the messaging to each customer segment and targeted them at different points across the shopper journey so they can find an ideal present early on in the season whilst also continuing to drive sales during peak trading.
