[chlm][pts][nysa][than][ntbb][upal][olds] Thus have I heard.
"'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe out,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe out', thinking thus, he trains himself.
"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination-things in the body, or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things, in the body. Or indeed his mindfulness is established with the thought: 'The body exists', to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent and clings to naught in the world." Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."


A chain letter is an example of just diverting wealth. So is a Ponzi scheme; so is the familiar Nigerian email scam, which gains superficial plausibility from a whiff of dishonesty or illegality.
Similarly, someone engaged in a possibly though not obviously productive business — perhaps some complicated Wall Street transaction — may well ask about creation or diversion of wealth. If not conscience, then concerns about legality and the dependability of success prompt the question.
Someone offering a suspiciously attractive opportunity might dodge the question about wealth creation by saying that the success of his method, though honorable — a method of choosing stocks and timing transactions, perhaps — depends on secrecy. Even so, an answer in general terms is in order; and the vaguer the answer, the more skepticism prudence recommends.
Financial operations come into the story. Arbitrage of the most obvious kind moves resources or products from where they are less scarce and valuable to where they are scarcer and more valuable; and by ironing out price discrepancies, it makes the price system more accurate in equilibrating supply and demand. A well functioning market generates knowledge and uses it productively.
Speculation — most obviously but not only in standard commodities — is a kind of arbitrage in time, moving things from a time when they are less valuable to a time when they are more valuable. If something, say wheat, is expected to become scarcer in the future, a speculatively bid-up price tends to hasten economies in consuming the thing and possibly hasten its production, thereby lessening its future scarcity.The speculators themselves bear the costs of being wrong. Speculation contributes to the depth and resiliency of futures and forward markets, where businesses can hedge against the risk of adverse price changes (and where, as a result, opposite risks can more or less neutralize one another). Insurance is an obvious example of hedging against risk.
Saving and investment make possible the increased productivity of well-chosen roundabout, time-consuming, capital-using kinds and methods of production. (Here "capital" means resources freed by savers from serving current consumption so they can serve longer-term-oriented production instead.) The stock markets and related activities help allocate capital to places where it promises to be most productive. Financial intermediation tailors the terms on which capital is available to the varied wants and needs of savers, borrowers, and companies issuing stock; securitization of loans is just one example.
Like capital, risk-bearing is an essential element in production, especially innovative production. Various kinds of stocks and bonds and derivatives, including even the notorious credit-default swaps, help place risk with the persons and institutions most willing and able to bear it. Specialization in risk-bearing enhances confident and productive business planning.
The great variety of financial operations and innovations allows scope, notorious scope, for ignorance, error, and downright fraud. (Some participants, such as Enron energy traders, reputedly, may see their business as a struggle in which the other side is supposed to lose.) More broadly, wealth comes in so many forms, and cooperation in producing it occurs in so many ways, even very indirect ways, that an answer to the question with which I started can seldom be precise.
Nevertheless, insisting on whether wealth is being created or merely diverted can provide healthy discipline.
Thank you. Enjoyed the piece.

General Mills Invests in Massive Organic Farm
It will take 34,000 acres to generate all the organic wheat needed for its Annie's brand mac & cheese.

Boxes of Annie's Macaroni & Cheese are shown on the shelf at a supermarket in Edina, Minn., Sunday, March 4, 2018. Annie's is an organic and natural unit of food industry giant General Mills, which announced a deal Tuesday to create a 34,000-acre organic farm in South Dakota to supply it with organic wheat that will become pasta for the popular product.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — General Mills announced a deal Tuesday to create South Dakota's largest organic crop farm as the food giant works to secure enough organic ingredients to meet growing consumer demand worldwide.
Gunsmoke Farms will convert 34,000 acres — more than 53 square miles — near Pierre to organic by 2020, giving it enough space for all the organic wheat needed to make General Mills' popular Annie's Macaroni & Cheese line.
General Mills, which is guaranteeing a market for the wheat, is working with Madison, Wisconsin-based Midwestern BioAg to develop the crop rotation and soil-building program needed for such a large farm to go organic.
"We're kind of obsessed with soil," Carla Vernon, president of General Mills' Annie's unit in Berkeley, California, told The Associated Press ahead of the announcement. "And that's because we know the power of soil is big."
Golden Valley, Minnesota-based General Mills, like many other food companies, has ambitious environmental goals, and like other big industry players it has bought smaller brands and tweaked its own products to appeal to consumers who want more organic and natural products. It wants to double its organic acreage by 2020 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions 28 percent by 2025 throughout its supply chain all the way down to consumers, because it believes climate change will be bad for business. The company's chief sustainability officer, Jerry Lynch, said it's on pace to meet its organic acreage goal well ahead of schedule.
Lynch said the project is one of several sites where General Mills is pilot-testing the same regenerative practices. The company will measure results in sequestering carbon in the soil, increasing biodiversity on the landscape and bringing socio-economic benefits to local communities.
Gunsmoke Farms will also carve out around 3,000 acres of pollinator habitat in cooperation with the Portland, Oregon-based Xerces Society. General Mills and Xerces announced a partnership in 2016 to add more than 100,000 acres of bee and butterfly habitat on or near existing crop lands.
General Mills bought Annie's — a brand known for its rabbit logo and bunny-shaped snacks — in 2014 for $820 million. While Gunsmoke Farms will become a huge supplier, Vernon pointed out that Annie's also works with small farms. It's partnering now with two farmers in Montana who use regenerative practices, and it will roll out single-source, limited-edition organic macaroni and cheese and bunny graham crackers this month.
South Dakota doesn't have much organic agriculture now — just 86 certified farms with 115,780 total acres during the 2016 growing season, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. And a little more than half that is pasture or rangeland rather than crop acres.
Gunsmoke Farms is owned by San Francisco-based TPG, a private global investment company with an interest in sustainability. TPG bought the farm recently from Fargo, North Dakota-based R.D. Offutt Co, best known as a potato company, which used it primarily to grow conventional wheat, corn, soybeans and sunflowers. Midwestern BioAg will work with local managers on the three-year process of converting the land to organic.
Gary Zimmer, founder of Midwestern BioAg, said it's his biggest project yet in 30 years of converting land to organic. He said the land at Gunsmoke Farms needs natural waterways re-established, as well as cover crops, no-till practices and the addition of lots of trace minerals.
Since the area is fairly dry, he said, it needs deeply rooted plants to trap rainwater and to build up organic matter in the soil. The crop rotation will include legumes such as peas, clover and alfalfa, which add nitrogen to fertilize the soil.
"I think everybody's going to be watching it, so we have to make sure we do a lot of things right," he said.

Q: Can my wife (husband) go with me?
A: No. At the present time, we have our WWII, Korean and terminally ill Veterans on our waiting list and many more who will apply this year. Our mission is to get to every deserving veteran in time. Over 250 World War II veterans have passed away while patiently waiting their turn. Hundreds more will not live long enough to visit their precious memorial. Imagine how long the waiting list would be if we added non-veteran spouses to our waiting list. The only spouses who are permitted to go are those who are veterans themselves.
Q: I am the widow of a World War II veteran. Can I go?
A: Sadly, the answer is "no". Adding spouses and widows simply isn't an option for our program at this time.
Q: How much does it cost? How much money do I need to bring?
A: The cost is FREE for World War II, the Korean War, and terminally ill Veteran. You do not need to bring any money unless you intend to purchase souvenirs.
Q: Can my son, daughter, grandson, etc. go as a guardian?
A: Only under certain limited circumstances. Our TOP priority is the safe travel of ALL the veterans. A normal ratio is 1 veteran to 1 Honor Flight Guardian. Who will or will not serve as an Honor Flight Guardian, and how many Honor Flight Guardians will be needed, is the sole responsibility of our Medical and Administrative Directors. That decision is based upon many factors, such as but not limited:
How many disabled veterans are scheduled to go?
Of the disabled veterans going, how many will have to be physically assisted in getting on and off the bus?
Which guardian applicants are most qualified? Medically trained, active duty military personnel and veterans who have previously participated in an Honor Flight are given top priority and serve as leadership members. The applicants physically capable of assisting in the lifting of our veterans are also a top priority. Once the Medical and Administrator directors feel enough of those positions to have been filled, other applicants are then considered. Again, these decisions rest solely with the Medical and Administrative Directors.
Q: Can I make donations to Honor Flight Austin?
A: Honor Flight Austin gratefully accepts donations from anyone EXCEPT our World War II veterans. We feel that World War II veterans have given enough. This is our way of saying "Thank You"!
Q: How do you decide which veterans get to go?
A: Veterans are flown on a "first come, first served basis." Within the applicants, the top priority is currently given to World War II veterans, then our Korean War Veterans, and ALL Veterans with a terminal illness. Our Vietnam War veterans will be our next priority.
Q: How are you funded?
A: Our funding comes primarily from individuals across the great state of Texas who recognize the great accomplishments and sacrifices of veterans and want them to see their memorial before it's too late. Other significant contributors have been fraternal organizations like local American Legion, VFW, Am Vets, DAV, MOPH, posts, and chapters, as well as various corporations.
Q: What if the veteran is on oxygen or will need a wheelchair?
A: WHEELCHAIRS – 100% of the veterans we have transported over the past 2 years are asked to use a wheelchair on their Honor Flight. Our deluxe motor coaches are ordered based upon this fact. Many of our coaches are equipped with wheelchair lifts.
OXYGEN – If the veteran requires oxygen, a prescription for the oxygen must be provided by the veteran's healthcare provider, identifying the delivery method (mask or nasal cannula), frequency (as needed or continuously), and the rate of delivery (2-3 liters per minute). Honor Flight Network will provide an FAA-approved oxygen concentrator for use during the trip if local oxygen equipment is not available. We also provide oxygen cylinders to be used at the memorials. If an overnight stay in the D.C. area is required, we will provide an overnight concentrator for use in the hotel room. Veterans on oxygen are required to have oxygen cylinders available from their home to the departure airport and also on the return from their local airport back to their homes. No oxygen cylinders are permitted to be used on the aircraft.
Q: Are terminally ill World War II veterans given any special priority?
A: YES! Such veterans go to the top of the list for the next flight departing to Washington D.C. as part of our TLC Program. Not only are World War II veterans given this top priority, but any terminally ill veteran, who has never been able to visit their memorial, is given the same priority under our TLC Program. Please call us for more information.
Q: Who is in charge of the program?
A: Throughout the United States there are several programs that operate in conjunction as part of Honor Flight Network, the national effort to honor our most senior Veterans. This governing body establishes general protocols, policies, credentialing and maintains a national Website and oversight of several programs.
You can reach the leadership for Honor Flight Austin by writing and/or calling:
Honor Flight Austin
815-A Brazos Street
UPS Box 498
You can also use the contact form, located here, to contact Honor Flight Austin.
Q: How do veterans in wheelchairs travel around Washington D.C.
A: The Honor Flight Network is generously supported by the premier motor coach company in Maryland, Dillon's Bus Service. All of their buses are wheelchair lift equipped.

Art is only as good as the feelings it produces within us. That is why I reach within searching for my experiences to paint from them…my good experiences.
Nigerian born artist, Buchi Upjohn Aghaji dips his brush into vastly different hues when creating his works. He expresses his art through a variety of media including oil, watercolor and acrylic on cold-pressed paper, canvas, burlap, wood and pottery. The result is a refreshing change from the contemporary trend in Afro-centric painting. Aghaji says he was always interested in painting, his studies at the university steered him into the advertising field where he worked for a year in Nigeria. It wasn't until he moved to England that he realized he could pursue his painting full time.
Always open to travel and new experiences, Aghaji decided to move to the United States. He spent three years in New York where he says at first his work was met with some resistance due to its break from tradition. He has held fast to the idea that "An appreciation and enjoyment of a thing of beauty is a freeing experience in itself". One must have that freedom to appreciate and interpret the beauty of art. This explains why his work takes a semi-abstract quality yet possessing a vibrance that makes you stop and take notice of the rhythm of the painting.
He also uses the traditional "Uli" motifs found in his tribe, the Igbos of Nigeria that displays a unique form of expression. Uli is the art of body decorations, consisting of lines and patterns that convey such admirable qualities as the strength, fertility, humility and compassion of the individuals they adorn. He states that using uli motifs enables him to remind everyone that these inner qualities are what we must seek to cultivate. This combining of the best of the "old" and the "new" come together make his work a unique and exhilarating experience.
Upjohn's work has received much recognition and acclaim in Nigeria and other parts of the world. The president of Nigeria and numerous private collectors in England, Germany, America and Africa have collected his work.
local and national artists of color.
Artjaz Gallery is introducing a limited edition of serigraph prints of the painting"Trio by Buchi Upjohn Aghaji. These outstanding prints will be available for sale on March 1, 2003 at www.artjaz.com. Buchi Upjohn Aghaji, who prefers to be known as Upjohn, is a Nigerian born artist who came to the United States in 1989. Academically trained, Mr. Aghaji combines modalities of modernism with an African derived aesthetic. He works with a brilliant palette that is intense and vibrant.
Upjohn primarily focuses on painting in acrylics. He builds up his canvases and works on paper with paint applied with a palette knife. He then overlays color upon color, which results in a resilient array of textures. What makes Upjohn's use of color significant is that the forms and shapes employed look as if they possess an interior light source. He may use twenty colors to arrive at the desired effect. To capture Upjohn's color sensibility and multi-layered approach to creating his color scheme, the printers of the serigraph used more than forty separations to approximate the luminosity of Upjohn's palette.
" Trio" is a work of brilliant hues orchestrated in a manner that resonates within this composition of fragmented elements. The image depicts three musicians, one playing an up right bass and the other two wood wind instruments. Primary and secondary colors dominate, giving the reds and yellows a luminous veneer. A crucial component to Upjohn's composition is the reduction of shapes to their bare essence and the use of linear elements to construct spatial relationships that are tightly woven together. The composition is compact with every area of the surface activated. Influenced by Cubism, Upjohn infuses lessons learned in his compositions; however, rather than delineating multiple views of an object or subject, Upjohn incorporates a linear and reductive approach to the shapes and forms used in his work. The relationship Upjohn's work has to Cubism is the formulation of planes that lends itself to a quasi-abstract appearance.
In lieu of the strong directional thrust of linear elements, "Trio" possesses a fluidity that defies its angular delineations. Robust figures comprise a central unit in the work and there is an overall feeling of movement. The viewer's gaze is guided across the surface in rhythmical patterns.
The serigraph captures all the nuances of the original painting. A team of master printers has worked diligently to create an edition that is as dynamic as the original work. The challenge of bringing to life the vibrancy of Upjohn's work has been achieved through a close analysis of the painting and building up the print surface to capture the quality of light, texture and coloration evident in the painting. The careful handling of the silkscreen process lends itself to transforming images as rich as those produced by Buchi Upjohn Aghaji.
Upjohn's most recent works focus on musical themes. He states, "I always dance around the musical themes because through music we can experience the beauty of harmony and through [the visual] arts we participate in the harmony of colors. I hope the vibrancy of "Trio" brings joy to the viewer."


Jackie tossed him to the ground. Having a bag already packed would be a time saver and leave her with that much fewer barked shins from stumbling around in the dark. While she no longer tried to make any moves on him, it was clear that she still felt the same towards him as she had a year ago. Finn grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it up and over, it too went to the floor. He reached down to stroke it and she trembled all the more at his touch. Much thanks goes out to Tajeri Lynn, Extremo Luchadore for being the first one to review this story. He needed to see.
Then proceeded to unbuckle his belt.
Was that it then? The knock on her door jerked her awake. This was what she had been waiting for for so long! He was struggling in LA, she knew. He had been amazed. But it was hard! Like a new set of digging tools for Jackie's archeology expeditions, some clothes, a silk kimono from China that had all the twelve animals from the Chinese zodiac embroidered on it, a new leather collar for Mercury however, she swore he'd always wear Finn's old collar, no matter how often Uncle complained of how old and smelly and ratty looking the thing now wasand a few other odds and ends.

WTM London Day 1 Responsible Tourism
November 7, 2016 April 7, 2017
by WTM Team
In Press Releases, Responsible Tourism, WTM London.
The 2016 responsible tourism programme opened with a public 'Conversation' on How to Enhance the Guest Experience in India. A new format for this year, these Responsible Tourism Conversations have no prepared speeches or presentations, instead providing an extended time for anyone with an interest in the topic to discuss what works and what doesn't with those with shared passions and experiences. Attendees at this first session ranged from Indian government and civil society representatives, to international responsible tour operators including Village Ways, Explore and Intrepid.
The session was opened by Vinod Zutshi, Secretary of Tourism for India, who laid out how responsible tourism is being embedded in his country's offical tourism policies. "We have to study the carrying capacity of destinations and ensure there is not too much tourism for a destination to bear." he explained, adding that India is also looking at adopting the principle of polluter pays for the industry.
Rupesh Kumar, State Responsible Tourism Field Coordinator for Kerala, said villages looking to develop community-based tourism – and the companies that work with them – should be focussing on showcasing activites that are the core part of the villagers' livelihoods – such as farming – rather than "adding on dedicated and additional tourism experiences such as tiger tours and elephant tourism."
His comments were supported by Richard Hearn from Village Ways. "Our guests are very quick to spot anything that is put on for a show," said Richard. "The reason for them going is to experience village life, and the most common expression of satisfaction they give is privilege."
Addressing the question of how one can 'prove' this authenticity and responsibility, Andy Rutherford from Fresh Eyes – People to People Travel said his company was now providing totally transparent pricing so everyone knows what people are being paid for their services, whether they are a DMC, guide or taxi driver. "The argument for doing responsible tourism has been wom with many people," he said. "Our guests are now demanding that we prove the sustainability we claim."
Glynn O'Leary from Transfrontier Parks Southern Africa also reflected on the challenges of authenticity and meeting consumer expectations, asking: "How do we explain to guests wanting to see how Bushmen lived 100 years ago explain that they have arrived 100 years too late?" Closing the session, WTM Responsible Tourism Co-ordinator Harold Goodwin summed up the many contributions saying: "If we can get rebellious tourists and rebellious locals to work together, then we will get the development of a truly sustainable tourism."
Later on Monday it was once again standing room only at a discussion on Disintermediation and Destination Management in the Travel Tech Theatre.
"I think the classic package holiday is a thing of the past," said Garry Wilson, Managing Director, Product and Purchasing at TUI Group, adding that what was most interesting for companies like TUI is the way in which Airbnb and new players are interacting with the customer. "There is a very holistic approach in terms of talking to other customers, to hosts and to other people in destinations as they make their mind up," he added.
"How do these universal platforms adapt to the different realities of different cities and DMOs," asked Jordi William Carnes, General Manager of Turisme de Barcelona. "London is a different reality from Copenhagen or Paris or Barcelona. The sharing economy is all right. Sharing the benefits would be better."
Anja Hartung Sfyrla, Head of Business Development, VisitDenmark said that the country was working well with the likes of Airbnb and other home sharing platforms, explaining that not only had the country put in place legislation in terms of how long people can rent out their accommodation, it was also putting in place a new government policy on home sharing websites.
Nikki White Wright, Director of Destinations and Sustainability at ABTA, said as an industry body "it is all very well have frameworks, but how will we enforce them?" and that ABTA wants to see a level playing field for all involved stakeholders. James McClure, UK & Ireland General Manager, Airbnb, replied that rather than a level playing field, the industry should have a "proportional playing field" so that someone who only rents out a room for a certain number of nights a year has to meet a "proportionate amount of legislation" compared to someone who runs a B&B for 365 days a year.
The discussion concluded by looking at issues around overcrowding. "People will go where they want to go," said Barcelona's Jordi Carne. "But we can set up initatives to encourage people to see new neighbourhoods." Airbnb's James Mclure added that research his company had undertaken this year found that 50% of people would rather go to the dentist than experience overcrowded destinations or experiences with excessively long queues. Garry Wilson from TUI said when assessing new destinations they look to ensure a maximum amount of positive impact with a minimum disruption, citing the hotel schools they have set up in Morocco and the Taste of Fethiye project supporting local farmers to supply all inclusive hotels in Turkey. 'For us the sharing economy is about looking at how widely we can share the benefits of us running tourism in their destinations," he said.

Juror 3 gives a long and increasingly tortured string of arguments, building on earlier remarks that his relationship with his own son is deeply strained, which is ultimately why he wants the boy to be guilty.
The experiment proves the possibility but Juror 5 then steps up and demonstrates the correct way to hold and use a switchblade; revealing that anyone skilled with a switchblade, as the boy would be, would always stab underhanded at an upwards angle against an opponent who was taller than them, as the grip of stabbing downwards would be too awkward and the act of changing hands too time consuming.
The court has applied this to say that the police can obtain our banking information, such as records of our deposits and withdrawals, without a warrant because a third party the bank has the information.
A businessman and distraught father, opinionated, disrespectful and stubborn with a temper. Officers pursued a motorcycle that was traveling more than mph. Sidney Lumetwhose prior directorial credits included dramas for television productions such as The Alcoa Hour and Studio Onewas recruited by Henry Fonda and Rose to direct.
The women were giving lap dances while other partygoers watched. Additionally, my son kept chating with him about how did he start and how was his final work. The officers arrested the partygoers for unlawful entry. United States, which held the motive of the police does not matter in assessing whether there is a Fourth Amendment violation.
Is it enough that the officers thought that the motorcycle, a motor vehicle, contained evidence of a crime.
The federal district court rejected that argument, concluding that Byrd could not have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the car because he was not on the rental car agreement.
In the past, the definition of oppression was limited to tyranny by a ruling group, but over time it has transformed because governments are not the only people who oppress. A rational, unflappable, self-assured and analytical stock broker who is concerned only with the facts, and is appalled by the bigotry of Juror The police reached the owner and he said that that he had not given anyone permission to be there.
Officers pursued a motorcycle that was traveling more than mph. A garage owner; a pushy and loud-mouthed bigot.
In my view, I would strongly refutes that technology negatively effects on children because of few important reasons. The earlier, private reports were retroactively numbered volumes 1—90 of the United States Reports, starting from the first volume of Dallas Reports.
By the end of the film, nearly everyone is shown in closeup, using telephoto lenses from a lower angle, which decreases or "shortens" depth of field. A house painter, tough, but principled and respectful. For example, in Smith v. The motorcycle got away, but by using social media the police officers found reason to believe that the motorcycle belonged to Ryan Collins, and was parked at a house where he stayed.
A complete kinescope of that performance, which had been missing for years and was feared lost, was discovered in Other jurors, most notably Juror 1, confirm that they saw the same thing. He is the second to vote "not guilty".
Now a days, most of children play games and do their home works on internet. He is the second to vote "not guilty". As a result, he did an amazed work that no one could imagine that small child did that. As you can see, technology helped my child to chat with others children and get many positive things to better their creativity.
When the Supreme Court began hearing cases, he added those cases to his reports, starting towards the end of the second volume, 2 Dallas Reports, with West v. He was very confused about the idea and he did not know from where he could start. An assistant high school American football coach.
For example, the complete citation to McCulloch v. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. He kept searching in the internet about how the others children in his age that might done something like that.
United States is whether the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and arrests, requires that the police obtain a warrant to access this information. Oppression is the prolonged, unjust treatment or control of people by others.
We use it in our works in our study and many more. United States, which was argued on Nov.
He is the seventh to vote "not guilty". Getting back to Wikipedia, we are told that social justice assigns rights and duties in the institutions of society, which enables people to receive the basic benefits and burdens of cooperation.
I've read the long comments here meant for a college student, very well written and covered the subject well. I could write pages and pages on the subject of "social justice" but why bore you. The most amusing part to me of the "57 states" line is that he was running in the primary at the time, and in Democratic primaries, 57 different states and non-state groups vote(the usual 50 plus DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, Marianas, Samoa.

Home ArticleGeneral Shabeg Singh
General Shabeg Singh4 minute read
General Shabeg Singh belonged to village Khiala. The eldest son of Sardar Bhagwan Singh and Pritam Kaur. He had three brothers and a sister. Mother of Shaheg Singh was devout lady but she was very practical and a great disciplinarian. She never forgot to remind her children and grand children that they were the descendents of Baba Mehtab Singh and must live up to the family name. Sardar Bhagwan Singh was the village Lambardar and remained quite occupied with the problems of the village folk who always looked to him for guidance and depended greatly upon his advice .
From his early childhood Shabeg Singh displayed qualifies of leadership and intelligence much above that of the average village child. He also was an outstanding football and hockey player and excelled in athletics. At the age of 18 years he had equalled the India records in 100 meters sprint and was the District Broad jump champion. However, even though he had a natural ability for sports he did not wish to pursue that as a career, his mind was on the army, which was considered a noble profession. He excelled in studies and generally topped his class.
Gen Shabeg Singh was convinced, even while he was still serving in the Army, that the Government of India was curbing the freedom of Sikhs all over India. He was aware of the discrimination against Sikhs in denying them promotions and the general hostility of the Govt. who were set to weed out the Sikhs from the Army. The general reduction in the strength of Sikhs in the Army and the policy of the Govt. towards Sikhs in Punjab by denying them capital industry, restricting the Sikh peasant to farming of wheat and crops whose prices were also controlled to deny them full reward. The denial of full and fare shares of river waters were apart of an overall conspiracy to deny Sikhs their legitimate due. At the same time the propaganda of the Indian Government against the Sikhs, painting them as communal. Their demand for autonomy was treated as treachery and anti-patriotic by the Govt, and the "free" press vociferously branded the Sikh demands as secessionist.
Now stepped another leader, a charismatic personality. A saint and leader of the renowned 'Damdami Taksal' Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. A selfless, dedicated leader who was frank, forthright and outspoken. He had but one interest only – the interest of the Sikh community – the Khalsa. He did not mince words when he attacked the deceitful politics of the Congress. He spoke out plainly on how the Sikhs had been exploited, and how the Akalis', in spite of their assertions, had fallen prey to the politics of deceit and disruption. They were accused of neglecting Sikh interest when in power to appease the Central Congress Government. People flocked to him. He soon emerged as the undisputed leader of the Sikhs. His following grew at an alarming rate to the discomfort of the Indira's congress Government. When Gen Shabeg Singh met Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, he felt naturally attracted to this out spoken, plain and bold man who was a natural leader and whose word, all Sikhs, specially in rural Punjab, The two became closer and closer with passing time.
A special messenger reached the house at Dehra Dun in the middle of March 1984, with a message from Sant Jarnail Singh Bhandranwale that he was needed at Amritsar. Without second thought he left for Amritsar and that was last he saw his Dehra Dun home which he had planned to spend a peaceful retirement in pursuit prayer and meditation. At Amritsar, he got fully involved in setting up the defences against Government attack on the Golden Temple complex. He had to plan his defences such that they were inconspicuous because the pilgrims' movement to the Golden Temple and around it had to remain unhindered. At the same time, the defences had to be very effective. He was in his element now. In the service of his community he did not mind giving up his life. He had always had a love for warfare and thought of death in battle a privilege. Perhaps he had a hidden desire to die fighting and in the holy presence of our Gurus. What better place then, than the Akal Takhat and the close proximity of Harmandir Sahib and in the service of his community. Tirelessly he worked against time with the prayer of Guru Gobind Singh on lips "Deh Shiva Var Mohe……."

Stirling-based business brokers Ryan Willsher and Kate Longman have won industry awards for excellence for the second year in a row, as well as an award for their contribution to the local community.
The Finn Franchise Brokers who support businesses in Perth's northern suburbs, from the CBD through to Yanchep, as well as regional Western Australia, received three awards between them at the recent WA Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) Excellence in Franchising Regional Awards.
Ryan won the Multi Unit Franchisee of the Year award, after last year winning the Single Unit Franchisee or the Year, while Kate, who assists Ryan in managing his two territories, Perth North and regional WA, again won the Franchise Woman of the Year award.
The Finn Franchise Brokers also received the Franchise Community Responsibility and Contribution award, which recognised their commitment to their community by raising funds for local charities as well as hosting information sessions to educate and empower franchisees.
As well as supporting Perth's northern suburbs, the team services regional WA including Geraldton, Karratha, Port Hedland, Broome, Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Albany, Busselton and Bunbury. Their community involvement included their participation in charity fundraisers. Last year Ryan took part in the Ride to Conquer Cancer and raised $4500 and along with Kate raised more than $2000 from the Central Park Plunge. They also donate 1.2 per cent of their revenue to local charities including Lifeline WA, The MS Society and Ronald McDonald House.
"It's an honour to be recognised again for all the hard work our whole team has put in to our business, The Finn brand, and the franchise community," Ryan said.
Ryan, who joined Finn Franchise Brokers in 2012, said they were especially humbled to receive the community award.
"Our whole business is geared around giving back to the WA franchise community and the Perth local community. All the charities have a special connection to at least one of our staff and it give us a much higher purpose than just helping people enter and exit a business," he said.
Finn Franchise Brokers was established in Perth in 2004 and has grown to become Australia's largest network of business brokers. Servicing the franchise sector, Ryan, Kate and their team help franchisees to sell their business or helps franchisors to find franchisees for their new sites. Support includes assisting buyers and sellers with valuations, business profiling, due diligence, marketing, communications and contracts.
Over the past year, Finn Franchise Brokers have worked with more than 80 different brands across the northern suburbs including Coffee Club, Dome, Zambrero, Poolwerx, Salon Express, Anytime Fitness, Jetts, Red Rooster, Chicken Treat and Ian Diffen.
"We try and take the guessing game and time it takes out of the equation when looking for a good franchise business. Thirty per cent of the businesses we help people buy are bought before they even hit the market," he said.
Ryan said while there was definitely a share of businesses struggling in WA's current economic market there were also many who continue to thrive through a focus on "good old fashioned customer service and tight management".
Kate said winning the coveted Franchise Woman of the Year award two years in a row was a huge honour.
The state awards were held on May 8 at the Parmelia Hilton Perth. Ryan and Kate are now finalists in the FCA's national awards which will be held on the Gold Coast on October 10.

In the Classroom: Burton High School's Do Now with Twitter
By: Matthew Williams
This past school year, 50 eleventh- and twelfth-graders at San Francisco's Burton High School started tweeting in class for the first time.
Many were familiar with Twitter and some use it on a daily basis, but never for school. As in most instances, there's a major disconnect between the role of social media in their lives outside school — where they use Twitter and Facebook to chat with friends, and update their status — and what happens at Burton. This class also demonstrates what recent studies have shown: that a large majority of kids have cell phones, even if they come from low-income families. In these two classes, 90% of students had cell phones, and 63% qualify for free or reduced lunch.
But the fact that they were tweeting in class was enough to get them excited in the project. The video below looks at the impact of KQED Do Now, a weekly activity for high school students that engages them in topical issues using Twitter, with these students and their teacher Wendy Berkelman.
"I think that using Twitter to do an assignment is maybe the coolest assignment in school," said Jason Wong. "I like how we are able to do this through the phone and people can see our thoughts."
Nikko Maraya piped in: "We should do it in every class."
Beyond the novelty of tweeting, the students said they felt their voices were being heard and they created a connection to the topic. Their friends cared what they wrote and the conversation opened up to a larger community than just the class. They knew it was on the KQED site and enjoyed watching the Twitter feed update on the website.
WHO CARES ABOUT TWITTER?
The class assignment focused on how technology has changed how we communicate, particularly with mobile devices and social media. They talked about the value of these tools in their everyday lives and how students could use these tools in school and as citizens of the digital world.

Broad Coalition Joins Forces to Call for Action on Policing and Criminal Justice Reform in New Jersey
Posted by New Jersey Institute for Social Justice 391.80sc on August 05, 2016
Today, a broad coalition of leading New Jersey civil rights, community, and religious leaders "requested that the legislature undertake a comprehensive and inclusive examination of criminal justice reforms needed to positively transform the relationship between police and the residents of New Jersey."
In the attached letter addressed to the Senate President, the Speaker of the Assembly, and the leaders in both bodies, the coalition explained that "the recent heartbreaking events in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Falcon Heights, Minnesota and Dallas, Texas have heightened the reality that, in New Jersey and on the national level, such a transformation in the relationship between law enforcement and many of the communities they serve is in order."
The coalition further noted that "these events have caused policymakers across the nation to reflect on how police accountability measures—including efforts to build trust and legitimacy, improve oversight, and enhance officer wellness—can be strengthened without impacting public safety." At the same time, the coalition explained, "these incidents have occurred in the midst of wide, often bipartisan, agreement that our nation's focus on incarceration, rather than rehabilitation and incarceration alternatives, has had devastating consequences—particularly for our communities of color. Indeed, a recent report by the Sentencing Project revealed that New Jersey has the largest gap in black-white incarceration rates in the nation."
Accordingly, the coalition called for a "comprehensive and inclusive set of hearings" on policing and criminal justice reform "that could serve to educate the public and policy makers, and to initiate the introduction of more holistic and meaningful criminal justice reform legislation, with a focus on tested strategies like community policing." These hearings would enable the state to evaluate the best practices of other states and serve as the starting point for comprehensive policing and criminal justice reform legislation in New Jersey.

The Boston Celtics are moving to the 2nd round after knocking out the Chicago Bulls, 105-83. After dropping the first two games of the series in Boston the Celtics answered back with 4-straight victories to close out their 1st-round series - their first playoff series win under coach Brad Stevens.
Avery Bradley followed up his huge game 5 in Boston with another monster performance leading the Celtics with 23 points on 9 of 12 shooting (3 of 4 from three) to go along with 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Al Horford continued his stellar play this series with 12 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds shooting a perfect 5 for 5 from the field and Gerald Green gave the C's a shot in the arm offensively yet again with 16 points.
For the Bulls Jimmy Butler showed up and that might be it. Butler scored 23 points on 9 of 17 shooting with 7 rebounds and 3 steals. Robin Lopez was the only other Bull to score in double-figures with 10 points and 5 rebounds.
The Celtics stretched the lead to 17 before and 8-0 Bulls run prompted a Brad Stevens timeout with 5:50 to go in the first half. They finished strong heading into the break with a 54-14 lead behind 10 points a piece from both Gerald Green and Avery Bradley while Al Horford had a terrific first half with 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Isaiah Thomas continued to struggle from the outside going 0 for 5 but he did finish the half with 7 points and 5 assists.
For Chicago, Butler did his part with 17 points on 6 for 11 from the field to go along with 5 rebounds and 3 steals but his sidekick Dwyane Wade was 1 for 7 with only two points at halftime.
The #Celtics lead #Bulls 54-41 at the half. 9-of-19 from 3. C's are 24 minutes from the second round for the first time since 2012.
The Celtics continued to roll to start the 2nd half as they opened it with a 10-2 run and the game started to get really out of hand for Chicago. The Bulls folded like a cheap table as the Celtics stayed hot through the 3rd. The C's were shooting an even 55% (46.4 from three) through three quarters and they rolled all the way to a 29-point lead heading into the 4th (88-59).
That massive lead would prove to be insurmountable for the Bulls, and the Celtics would find themselves moving to the 2nd round for the first time in the Brad Stevens era and the first time since 2012. With the Washington Wizards victory over the Atlanta Hawks tonight game 1 of round 2 will start Sunday at 1pm, in Boston. It's gonna be a helluva series.

Battered, bruised and 2nd in the East
The Toronto Maple Leafs have overcome a lot of adversity this season. Knowing what the team has been through, it is beyond remarkable that the Leafs sit in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference through 24 games this season.
Due to a combination of injuries, suspensions, and healthy scratches, the Maple Leaf line-up in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks was drastically different than the team we watched defeat Montreal 2-0 in the season-opener back on October 6th. The result was the same, but the starting roster could not have been more different. Only 13 of the 20 players on Sunday's starting roster suited up for the Leafs in the season-opener: Schenn, Phaneuf, Dupuis, Lupul, Liles, Rosehill, Frattin, Kulemin, Bozak, Gardiner, Kessel, Grabovski and Gustavsson. Missing from Sunday's game were season-openers: Komisarek, Armstrong, Lombardi, Brown, Steckel, Gunnarsson, and Reimer (their replacements: Franson, Connolly, MacArthur, Colborne, Crabb, Aulie, Scrivens).
Of course injuries are a part of NHL hockey and no team is able to escape a season without some significant injuries. Toronto has triumphed thus far against a stacked deck with several key and lengthy injury spells. Their number one goaltender, James Reimer, hasn't seen NHL action since the 6th game of the season. Since Reimer went down, the Leafs have battled their way to an impressive 10-8-1 record!
Toronto owes a huge share of their early success to three individuals who (thus far) have managed to avoid the injury bug. Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul, and Dion Phaneuf have undoubtedly been Toronto's three best players this season and are all en route to career years.
First there's Phil Kessel who leads the entire league in NHL scoring with 31 points. Currently mired in a three-game goal scoring "slump", the sniper has not gone more than one game without scoring a point. He just so happens to be first in the league in goal-scoring too (16).
Joffrey Lupul has been the biggest surprise so far this year. Unbelievably Lupul is currently in a tie for 2nd place in overall league scoring with 29 points. Here's a guy who hasn't played in a full NHL season since 2008-09 and he's on pace not just to beat but to shatter his career highs in goals (28 in 05-06) and points (53 in 05-06). Joffrey is getting it done at both ends of the ice and has a team-best +7 to show for it.
Dion Phaneuf is finally silencing all of the critics and is truly leading the Leafs. Phaneuf has racked up 18 points (5th best among league defensemen) and he's been shutting down the opposition on a nightly basis. He's playing with a newfound confidence and is an offensive threat every time he rushes the puck.
Toronto Maple Leaf fans are anxiously awaiting the return of goaltender James Reimer. There might not need to be such a rush to get Reimes back afterall though because the team sure seems to be doing just fine without him.
The Leafs return to action on Wednesday with a key divisional match-up against the Boston Bruins.

A biweekly column on Hong Kong by Jason Y. Ng
Media Attention
HKFP
Unrighteous Indignation 暴憤填膺
In the past month, nativist groups like Civic Passion (熱血公民) and Hong Kong Indigenous (本土民主前線) have been staging weekly rallies against parallel traders in Sheung Shui, Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, three of the areas most affected by the growing influx of Chinese shoppers. Because parallel traders don't bear a mark on their foreheads, protesters wind up targeting anybody seen with a bulky baggage on the street. The lucky ones get heckled and mobbed, while the not-so-fortunate have their possessions searched or thrown about. Still others, like the elderly busker who happened to be passing through with a large amplifier in a cart bag, get mistaken for Mainlanders and roughed up by protesters. Pretty despicable stuff.
For years, day trippers from Shenzhen and neighboring Chinese cities have been crossing the border using multiple-entry permits. While here, they load up on daily necessities – diapers, baby formula and skincare products – and resell them at a higher price in the Mainland, wher…
Of a Distant World 遙遠的他
My assistant Alisa came into my office one morning and sat down without being prompted. "I'm going to have to come in late every Monday and Wednesday morning," she declared, her eyes welling up. She said she needed to take her four-year-old Mark to therapy twice a week or else he would be transferred to a special needs school. Mark was diagnosed with autism 18 months ago.
"Of course," I said, "I know how it is."
I know because I too have an autistic member in the family. Seth is my nephew and my parents' first grandson. The Hebrew name I picked for him means "the appointed one" – and he is, in more ways than one. Seth has always been a special kid on whom everyone dotes. He loves toy trains and knows every detail about buses and sports cars. He enjoys cycling, playing video games and watching 80s movies on YouTube. He delights in all modes of public transport and gets restless when the driver skips a stop or takes a different route.
The first case of autism was diagnosed in 1943 by …

Umbrellas in Bloom
Umbrellas in Bloom, the first book published in English to chronicle the occupy movement of 2014 and the last instalment of Jason Y. Ng's Hong Kong trilogy, debuts No.1 on Amazon.com in the Hong Kong History category. It is all you need to know about the biggest political upheaval in post-handover Hong Kong: who took part in it, why it happened, how it transpired, and what it did and did not achieve.
No City for Slow Men
Published in 2013, No City for Slow Men examines some of the pressing social, cultural and existential issues facing Hong Kong. It is a treatise on local life that is thought-provoking, touching and immensely entertaining.
HK State of Mind
Published in 2010, HONG KONG State of Mind is a collection of essays that zeroes in on the city's idiosyncrasies with deadpan precision. It promises something for everyone: a travel journal for the passing visitor, a user's manual for the wide-eyed expat, and an open diary for the native Hong Konger looking for moments of reflection.

Liberal National Government has signed a three-year deal to sponsor Western Australia's biggest regional literature event, the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival.
Premier and Tourism Minister Colin Barnett said the three-day event would attract poets, authors, playwrights, journalists, comedians, illustrators, magazine editors, screen writers and radio hosts.
"The event will not only promote literature but also the extraordinary Margaret River region, helping to raise its profile as a destination for the arts." Premier Barnett said.
Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival will be sponsored until 2019 through Tourism WA's Regional Events Program, made possible by Royalties for Regions.
Regional Development Minister Terry Redman said the investment of $80 Million from Royalties for Regions through the Regional Events Program was bringing significant economic, social and cultural benefits to regional communities.
"Supporting events and tourism will help to grow regional areas into thriving and sustainable communities." Mr. Redman said.
Premier Barnett said tourism was a vital industry for regional Western Australia.
"In 2015-16, visitors spent $9.6 Billion in the State, including $4.5 Billion in regional WA." Premier Barnett said.

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to contact tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn't include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal chance for you to get through to them.
The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you would like to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular resellers, don't offer the full set of records, so you can't really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you'll be able to edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
With Webhost XL, you can take full advantage of our fabulous Domain Manager. Available in our in-house developed Web Hosting Control Panel, it permits you to administer all your domain names from a single place. You will be able to easily update the WHOIS details or to update the DNS resource records for one or for multiple domain names at once. With it, administering your .FR domain(s) will be a piece of cake.
Furthermore, if you've got a web hosting account, you will be able to effortlessly administer your domain(s) and web site(s) without having to use another Control Panel tool.


Another summer and and another GREAT trip planned by the three couples to give Corvette Indy members a chance to explore Indiana. The couples are Steve Head & Mary McConnell, John & Marg Herder, and Bill & Erika Lapham and they used Mary's knowledge of southern Indiana to plan a trip to Rising Sun and stay at the casino to see an evening show and then on Sunday head to Belterra Terra Casino for a fabulous brunch. This trip started in Morristown at the Kopper Kettle with everyone arriving by 10:30 and most of them in Corvettes, even though it was a wet weekend. The few in metal cars all had valid excuses such as Eileen's back problem, new wheels coming for John's upgrade to his C1, the Cole's visiting family grave sites in cemeteries on Sunday with really muddy roads, and Jack had our token Cadillac as he still is a true Corvette enthusiast! We even had one couple Harry & Tillie race home to get there Corvette once they found that a vast majority were driving theirs. This even included Tom's absolutely new Blue Grand Sport of less than 24 hours from being delivered on Friday and arriving at our jumping off point with around 60 miles. What a trouper, others in the group will not be named is case they still want to claim that "their Corvette has never been in the rain" NOT. Once everyone had finished their great lunch the 27 vehicles were split into 2 groups and headed down IN 52 and the long way to the first stop of Metamora, from there back through Oldenburg and many points south to Rising Sun. Be sure to read Mary's directions which are attached in a PDF, to see the full route and many points of interest comments. Once at the evening's lodging everyone started playing room key roulette (remember it is part of a casino) as a majority had multiple keys not work even after exchanging them! A pain, but finally everyone got in their rooms. They soon headed over to the main casino for dinner and most to see the '70's group America in concert that evening. In the morning there was a quick drivers meeting and then everyone headed off to Belterra via scenic route along the Ohio river. After the great brunch, food is always a theme in Corvette Indy event, everyone was on their own as far as more planned activities. Mary had sent out a 'what to see and do' in Madison for anyone wanting to go there and check the city out. A fairly large group decided to stop at the first winery they went by, while others headed for home and other destinations. Unfortunately the ones that headed to Madison found fairly fresh chip n seal so ended up making a very slow 15 mph trip through it, upsetting a number of metal cars in the process. For those heading through Versailles Mary had mentioned an Art Deco style church there which Bill was able to get pictures of on the way home. A great trip for everyone and again less than a tank of gas used for most everyone. So plan a trip in your Corvette and see Indiana, the three couples are already planning next years!
