If knowledge is, as they say, power, then you will find great empowerment in Teresa Tomeo's latest book Extreme Makeover (Ignatius Press, October, 2011).
Extreme Makeover: Women Transformed by Christ, Not Conformed to the Culture offers an excellent combination of facts, statistics, and personal testimonies to make this the sort of book that any reader will find valuable. Relying on her background as a reporter, Tomeo "finishes" many stories that the media has ignored or left unsaid.
For instance, many pro-life advocates have an idea of the NARAL agenda but how many know that one of the NARAL founders, Bernard Nathanson, eventually left his abortion practice and ultimately converted to Catholicism — stating that NARAL greatly deceived the American public on the issues of abortion?
Just as she does on her daily EWTN talk show, Tomeo helps the reader (or listener) "connect the dots" in a way that the knowledge does become power and makes each of us better equipped to witness to our faith. Tomeo beats down the satan-like voices intent on destroying the gifts of love, forgiveness, and salvation we have in Christ. She fervently witnesses so that we, too, may embrace what has been offered to us as daughters of the King. It is always evident that Tomeo's love of her faith propels each word she puts on the page.
"The Abortion Distortion" is only one of the many wonderfully-crafted chapters of Extreme Makeover. "Mirror, Mirror" reverberates with Tomeo's passion to explore and then conquer the low self-esteem problems faced by so many young girls and women today. (Mirror, Mirror on the Wall is also the title of one of Tomeo's best-selling All Things Girl books devoted to tween girls.) "Extreme Media Makeover" examines the media's sloppy coverage of Pope Benedict's words on condom use and HIV; but because Tomeo never leaves the reader without resources, she also examines the ways in which our own excursion into social media can be used to defend and promote the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Tomeo's ability to draw together a myriad of resources — using excerpts from documents as profound as Humane Vitae, quotes from such figures as Bishop Aquila, statistics from the likes of American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and references to the works of people such as Janet Smith — is an invaluable gift of edification to the reader, a gift that ignites and inspires the reader to love and share the precious gift of her Catholic faith.
Just the way a good reporter ought to end a story, Extreme Makeover: Women Transformed by Christ, Not Conformed to the Culture concludes with the compelling testimonies of a handful of women who have experienced their own "extreme makeovers" and generously share their stories of struggle, heartache, hope, and ultimate joy.
From start to finish, it is clear that Tomeo has one goal in mind: that each woman who reads this wonderful book will be transformed in one way or another — that each woman will experience her own extreme makeover.
Note: You can find Teresa on Facebook. To read Teresa Tomeo's full personal story from Secular Anchor to her current role as Evangelist in radio and in print, read Newsflash!

Garden diary | Our attempts to turn a barren urban garden into a wildlife haven.
Our attempts to turn a barren urban garden into a wildlife haven.
Three clumps of frog spawn appeared in our pond on the 15 March 2010. I assumed that would be "it" for this year but this morning there was another clump in the pond. I also noticed that there are quite a few smooth newts in the pond now and I suspect they'll take their toll on the tadpoles.
This morning I was even more pleased to see two more clumps of spawn. This is the most we've ever had in the pond.
One big difference this year was the presence of adult frogs in the pond. We've rarely seen adult frogs in the garden but there were ten or more adult frogs in the pond today.
We've had a few days of warm weather and the garden is bursting in to life. One of my favourite sights at this time of year are crocuses. I love the fact that these early flowers give a splash of colour and provide nectar to the first insects to appear after winter.
I spent some time clearing up the pond this weekend. The pond was getting a bit overgrown (as seen on the pond timeline). It was fairly chilly work but it's the best time to clear out the excess weed from the pond as the animals and plants haven't really got going yet. As a result the effect of removing the weed has the lowest impact on other things.
I saw my first butterfly of the year today; one of those moments an entomologist looks forward to every year. It was a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), a species that overwinters as an adult. I think the warm weather brought out this individual a bit earlier than usual. Hopefully this is a positive sign that we'll have a good year for butterflies.

The Serene Andaman
December 12, 2013 July 4, 2018 - by tripotomaniac - Leave a Comment
During schooldays we had to write Essays as part of the curriculum and I remember my father helping me in writing those long essays which was always a tough thing to remember and pen down. Still I remember a paragraph from an Essay "Bhraman" where my father wrote – "it's not necessary someone has to travel long distance to enjoy the beauty of mother earth. Morning sunrays falling on a paddy field when the grass is still wet with morning mist can too bring captivating joy and happiness".
This year, we were not sure where to go after Durga Puja and in September also we were battling and not being able to decide. Suddenly this sentence from my old schooldays came to my mind and in search for this joy and romance, we finally landed on Andaman. The first view of cluster of islands from GoAir G8-101 took us to a different world and I thanked myself for choosing Andaman as our destination.
Andaman has 325 islands which cover an area of 6,408 km2 (2,474 sq mi), with the Andaman Sea to the east between the islands and the coast of Burma. North Andaman Island is 285 kilometres (177 mi) south of Burma, although a few smaller Burmese islands are closer, including the three Coco Islands. The Ten Degree Channel separates the Andamans from the Nicobar Island to the south. The highest point is located in North Andaman Island (Saddle Peak at 732 m (2,402 ft))
Andaman has been a centre of attraction for various things starting from virgin beaches of Radhanagar, Elephant, Laxmanpur, beautiful islands like Havelock, Ross, Neil and Viper Island, variety of Water Sports like Scuba Diving, Sea Walking, Snorkeling, Tribes like Jarawa and above all the infamous Cellular Jail. This land witnessed the barbaric punishment our freedom fighters went through during British period which one can understand and partly imagine during the light & sound show in Cellular Jail. But today, except the history which people of the land still mourn, Andaman has become an important Tourist Destination of the world. The beautiful amalgamation of Sand, Land and Sea can take you to a world beyond imagination.
After we landed in Port Blair, our guide took us to hotel TSG Emerald where we quickly refreshed and started our journey to Viper Island. Viper Island is a small island which was used by the British for carrying out capital punishment. This small island derives its name from the vessel `Viper' in which Lt. Archibald Blair came to Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 1789. The vessel, it is believed, met with an accident and its wreckage was found near the island. Another story says that the name originated from the presence of vipers, snakes, on the island. In any talk about Andaman and its role in the freedom struggle, it is the Cellular Jail that finds frequent mention. But, many years before the Cellular Jail was constructed, it was the jail at Viper Island that was used by the British to inflict the worst form of torture and hardship on those who strove to free the country from the British rule. The cemented beam where from the convicted were used to be hanged still cries out the agony and helplessness which gives goosebumps.
While coming back, we cherished the view of succession of ships of different kinds along the harbor. Port Blair being the nucleus of the entire islands, dozens of ships from the mainland anchor everyday with necessary supplies for further distribution to various islands. In the evening, we enjoyed the Light & Sound show at Cellular Jail. One must visit the cellular jail during morning hours to see the star shaped jail. It is one of the places that vividly depict the freedom struggle, the stories of those known and unknown fighters. The jail's one part is opened for tourists and rest have been converted into medical office and for other purposes. From the top of the jail you can see the entire Port Blair surrounded with green and dark blue water. The sound and light show is fairly a good one in the voice of the veteran actor Mr. Om Puri. It is a must watch destination for anyone visiting Andaman.
After watching the Light & Sound show, we dined and packed for tomorrow. We are going to board "Makruzz" from the Jetty and destination is Havelock Island.
Havelock Island is a popular destination among the water sport lovers and the main tourist destination with an area of 113.93 km2 and is the largest of the islands. Havelock is situated 57 km North East of Capital City Port Blair with mostly Bengali settlers. It was a 3 hours journey from Port Blair. We put our foot on the white sand of Havelock at around 11 am and rushed to hotel Symphony Palm. The island has a lot of resorts by the beach to cater to the tourist with all food and beverage facilities. However if anyone expects WI-FI and internet, it's a challenge to get an uninterrupted connectivity.
The beauty of Havelock islands is beyond description. The white sand, blue water, virgin beaches, series of trees some of which date back to thousand years as per Carbon Dating can bring a feeling beyond explanation. Entire day we just enjoyed the Sea. In the evening, we went to Radhanagar beach and enjoy the sunset. Gradually darkness fell over the island. The beauty of Havelock beach during night is beyond explanation. The deserted beach, the non- stop sound of the sea water pounding on the rocky beach, whisper of the wind, the dazzling moon, and the glittering stars amazed me. Symphony Palm Resort is a fairly good hotel with airy spacious cottages, restaurants, bars spread over both the sides of the road. Though our room was on the other side of the road, just to be in the vicinity of sea, spending some extra bucks we took a cottage on the beach side. Hotel staffs were friendly and mostly Bengalis. We were served with some delicious delicacies accompanied with some local fish which was indeed mouthwatering. Post dinner, we cherished the mysterious beauty of the beach for some more time before going to bed. Tomorrow, we will be going for Scuba diving in Elephant beach.
Today we first went to the place where from we need to take all our necessities for the scuba diving. Scuba Diving has been a dream for me for years and I was excited to see my dream coming true.
Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or on air pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, (usually compressed air),allowing them greater freedom of movement. In Andaman, number of areas in the sea is full of corals which attracts sport lovers from around the world. The guides who accompanied us were all experts with years of experience in diving and briefed us about the DOs and Donts. I did diving earlier with air pumped from surface in Pattaya and was aware of the pros and cons and quickly understood the art of this kind of diving which is new to me. Within no time, we started our boat ride and reached the place where the diving to take place. The dive duration is 30 minutes to a maximum depth of 18 meter where you can see different sorts of corals reef and marine life. Coral Reef is a beautiful creation of nature which is comprised of living corals growing on top of the skeletal structure of dead corals. Each species has a particular coloration and structural complexity which distinguishes that species from others. The living coral itself is an amalgamation of polyps which feed on plankton at night and photosynthesize during the day. However the marine life was not so exciting due to less variety of species. Still I must say, it was a value for money and worth spending half day.
In Havelock you can hire motorbikes, bicycles etc to roam on the island and I really wanted to enjoy a ride to the inner part of the island which otherwise is not coming in the itinerary. the Hero Honda made motorbike ride to the interior of the island turned our to be a thrilling one when darkness started to fall and I found myself alone on the 8 ft deserted streets of Havelock with one side covered with thick forest. I rode for around 12 km and found a Tea Stall and enjoyed the last few golden rays before the run settled down in the horizon. Honestly I was worried thinking about the road I have to take while going back due to various kinds of fauna in the jungle which sometime do not mind coming to the street to experience the human existence. However I had no option but to start and so did I. Driving a motorbike through such a deserted forest while listening to the natural jingles of the forest, the background sound of cricket took away my little bit of fear that I had before starting and I reached the hotel.
Havelock has a small market with various apparels etc mainly getting delivered from the mainland. We spent later part of the evening in the market. A little rain made the weather cool and we felt alive after a hectic day. Dinner was as usual with local delicacies and fishes. We could feel a sense of ending as only two days are left for our vacation to get over. Tomorrow we will move to Neil Island and port blair the next day and then to Kolkata.
Neil, with its very relaxed vibe and long, deserted beaches is a place to chill out after the "bustle" of Havelock Island. Neil Island is named after James George Smith Neill, a British soldier who had sternly dealt with the insurgents during the suppression of the 1857 Mutiny. It occupies an area of 18.9 square kilometres (7.3 sq mi). The island is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-east of Port Blair. This is also an island mostly populated by Bengali who are mainly residing in five villages – Sitapur, Bharatpur, Neil Kendra, Lakshmanpur and Ram Nagar. Agriculture is the primary occupation of the villagers, and the island supplies vegetables to the rest of Andaman. There are a handful of restaurants and basic beach hotels that cater to international and domestic tourists. We reached the island at around 11 am and was escorted to Tango Beach Resort. We liked the bamboo cottages erected on the high platform so to keep away snakes and reptiles from entering the cottages.
Apart from the beaches and a Natural Bridge, there is hardly any other place to see in Neil Island when seen from a materialistic point of view. However for me at least, the island has lot more to offer.
We went to Sitapur and Lakshmanpur beach and then to the Natural Bridge which is a small strip of land that connects the mainland to a small (3*3) island of sorts. The long walk on the corals was difficult and one has to walk very cautiously so as to avoid any sort of injuries. After returning to the resort, we walked down to the Sunset point which is the west most point of the beach. Due to cloud, we could not fully cherish the sunset. While coming back, we experienced the High-tide which gradually had eaten away the 50 mtr beach and water started reaching almost the edge of the Resort. There are some uprooted trees scattered on the beach which became our evening destination. In such a night with dazzling moon above us and water flowing below those fallen trees and washing our feet, we enjoyed our evening snacks and drinks. This resort organizes night fishing where small boat takes you to the interior of the sea and in case you succeed to catch some fishes, the hotel guys will cook it for you once you come back. Amazing !!
Early morning, we moved around the island and went to the Jetty to board the cruise for Port Blair. We reached at around 6 pm and spent the evening roaming around the city. After such a hectic day, an early dinner with beer is always a mood changer.
Post dinner, we started packing our luggage…….tomorrow we have Go Air G8-102 to catch for Kolkata…a sense of ending engulfed us …I do not know should I term it as an ending or a new beginning – a new beginning in search of next destination…till then good bye…

I found this spider in March 2009 when I was still living in Maryland. I was photographing the leaf when the spider moved into the frame. Not that I'm complaining; this photo has become one my favorite wildlife images. I found out today from bugguide.net that this is probably one of 37 species of Ghost Spider (family Anyphaenidae). This guy is probably immature; it's a very small but fantastic-looking spider, and just the fact that they're called ghost spiders makes them extra cool. Below I cropped the the above image just in case you wan to see a close up of the spider.
Quite beautiful creatures, keep them away from me though!

It's been nearly a year since the Cupertino City Council approved Apple's plans to build a massive new campus not too far from the company's current headquarters. Since that time, we've heard nary a whisper about the project's progress thanks largely in part to Apple's efforts to keep curious eyes out of the construction site.
That all changed recently as YouTuber jmcminn strapped a GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition camera onto his DJI Phantom 2 drone to capture some aerial footage of the progress being made to Apple's new campus.
What's immediately noticeable is the sheer size of the campus. Sure, you may have seen drawings and renderings of the spaceship-like structure and its surroundings but this clip really puts it all into perspective.
We can clearly see that the entire area has been cleared, much of the perimeter wall is already in place and crews have already laid out a few sections of flooring. Aside from that, there's still a ton of work left to do over the coming year.
In one of his last public appearances before his death, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs personally pitched the idea of the new campus to the Cupertino City Council. The 176-acre campus will accommodate 14,200 employees and will be surrounded by an abundance of green space. The $5 billion project is expected to be ready by mid-2016.


Vietnam's premier on Thursday hit out at the "barbarous crimes" of its wartime American foe as the nation marked four decades since the fall of Saigon, an event that delivered a communist victory and a painful blow to U.S. moral and military prestige.
In front of Independence Palace -- whose gates northern tanks clattered through in one of the iconic moments of the 1975 victory -- Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung struck out at the U.S. attempt to contain the spread of communism in Southeast Asia through war in Vietnam.
The physical effects of conflict still linger, including through deformities that Vietnam says are caused by the dioxin Agent Orange, sprayed by the U.S. airforce to pare back the thick jungle used as cover by the northern guerilla forces.
Divisions remain -- up to a million "boat people" fled the South in the aftermath of the conflict and now form a vocal diaspora, staunchly opposed to Vietnam's authoritarian one-party state.

Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project, Canada
In October 2019, Mobilinx, in which John Laing has a 35% equity interest, achieved financial close on the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance of the Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project ('HuLRT'). This is a transformational transit project connecting the municipalities of Mississauga and Brampton in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area, and builds on John Laing's long and successful history of investment in and delivery of complex rail schemes.
The HuLRT consists of an 18-kilometre line from the Port Credit GO station in Mississauga to Brampton Gateway Terminal in Brampton, providing an alternative mode of transport to driving as well as improving connectivity within and between the two municipalities.
The project includes 18 surface stops and one below grade station, a fleet of 28 light rail vehicles, a dedicated cycle way and an operations, maintenance and storage facility. The HuLRT will also be fully integrated with municipal transit systems including connections to GO Transit lines and transitways.
The HuLRT delivers several environmental benefits, including projected reductions in air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions by replacing existing diesel bus services and reducing congestion – from 2031, the HuLRT is expected to contribute to a c.4,000 tonne annual reduction in CO2 emissions. The project's strong sustainability attributes are supported by the Green Evaluation completed by Standard & Poor's ('S&P') Global Ratings, which resulted in a score of E1, the highest score on S&P's evaluation scale).
Significant employment opportunities, both during the construction period and the subsequent 30-year operations and maintenance period are also expected.
Construction of the project commenced in 2020 and is scheduled to complete in 2024.


CRESTVIEW — The Main Street Crestview Association was one of 32 Florida Main Street programs to achieve national accreditation last week.
The accreditation is awarded by the National Main Street Center. The accreditation process is conducted each year based on a series of standards set by the National Main Street Center and its coordinating program partners. There are 10 standards a program needs to meet, which range from possessing a historic preservation ethic to having developed vision and mission statements relevant to community conditions and to the local Main Street program's organizational stage.
The designation is a mark of distinction that signifies a local Main Street program's commitment to community revitalization and engagement and rigorous outcome measurement.
"We want to create jobs downtown for the community. That's what it's all about," he added.
Lowrey said that people like the downtown district for many different reasons.
The accreditation is important for the future of the association and downtown Crestview. Lowrey believes it can push the association from a local program to a national program, which could help gain tourist attraction to downtown Crestview.
"It certainly has the opportunity to bring business to our downtown district that would otherwise bypass us," he added.
Lowrey credits the success of the program to those who work hard behind the scenes, including director Sandra Wilson.
"We have folks who worked mighty hard to get to this point and we are just going to get better from here," Lowrey said.
Main Street Milton also earned its accreditation.

Milennials to be the key segment of India's consumer market, says Deloitte
12 March 2018 Consultancy.in
Millennials make up nearly a third of the world's population, and more than a third of the Indian population. Given their affinity for technology and their propensity for online consumption, millennials are expected to boost India's online consumption levels to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 30% till 2021.
Milllenials, Generation Y, Echo Boomers: call them as you may, the generation of people born between 1980 and the early 1990's have grown up in the age of rapid technological advancement, and are well versed with the economic applications of the plethora of digital tools that have emerged over the last two decades.
Globally, this generation constitutes 27% of the entire population, placing them somewhere between 2 and 2.5 billion people. In India, Millennials comprise 34% of the population, which makes it the largest ratio of millennials in the world, ahead of 33% of Brazil's population and 31% of China's population.
While the generation is known for its technological capabilities, millennials in India constitute the productive population at a time when the country is set to have unprecedented levels of digital access. Simultaneously, economic prosperity in India is on the rise, which is driving the consumer market up at a rapid rate.
Put both these factors together, and one can smell the recipe for a highly vibrant digital economy. A new report from Big Four professional services firm Deloitte, prepared in collaboration with the Retailers Association of India, predicts a boom of this precise nature in India's digital economy, and offers detailed insights on how the different priorities in this generation will transform the nature of the consumer market.
In terms of economic prosperity, the report reveals that Asia as a region has the highest level of prosperity among the millennial population. The cumulative disposable income of millennials in Asia is placed by the report at an imposing $6 trillion. India, which is expected to drive growth for the region, has the highest level of disposable income, as a percentage of the income, in the world.
As per the report, 50% of the population population in India lives comfortably, in that they are able to spend on some commodities that they want rather than need. A further 36% of the population is even higher on the economic prosperity scale, possessing the ability to spend their income freely.
As a result, the ratio of online retail to the overall retail market in India had grown to 3%, when measured in 2015, up from negligible levels in 2010. Although online consumption in India is yet to gather momentum, the factors mentioned above are expected to drive this consumption up by a CAGR of 30% between 2016 and 2021. While fairly well ahead of a number of global economies, the current levels of online retail are lower than other major economies such as Brazil (3.7%), USA (9.2%) and China (12.9%).
Shifting priorities
Therefore, in years to come, most retail will take place online, and most consumers will be millennials. So what will this do to the consumer market? The report uses survey results to identify key differences in the priorities of millennials and their preceding generation: the Baby Boomers.
The study uses a set of product-characteristics to determine which attributes justify the payment of a premium, thereby gaining an idea of consumer priorities. For instance, around 60% of Baby Boomers consider high-quality material as a fair reason to pay a premium, compared to only half of the millennials.
Similar trends can be seen for superior performance and handcrafted products, whereby the number of Baby Boomers exceeded the number of millennials who think a premium is justified.
Meanwhile, what attracts millennials in a product are attributes such as exclusivity, rarity and, most substantially, a superior customer experience; wherein 40% of millennials felt that paying a premium was worth it, compared to around 30% of Baby Boomers.
According to Anil Talreja, a Partner at Deloitte, "Retail organisations have been constantly on the growth trajectory which is coupled with personalised marketing, tailor-made solutions, and a new shopping experience for customers. In order to achieve this, it becomes incumbent for these organisations to engage with the next generation of consumers to join their front-end operations as these individuals are best placed to resonate with the Next-gen."
