3 Reasons Why A Video Is Needed By A Successful Hotel

OK, so we have been able to struggle through our first few videos and to tell you the honest to god truth; this was so much more of a challenge than anything we do with Money Gifting.

The checklist did nothing to rank the importance of each step in the process. When it came time to book vendors and the venue, we were surprised.

Michael Jackson was. I think that in everything he did he wanted to be sure that he made a difference; he used his God-given gifts and abilities to make the world a better place.

Meeting with Business Owners in the Same Industry - You should also meet with vendors who share the same market as you . You must have enough connections with wedding organizers etc so you will get more referrals if you cater to wedding video production. If you provide solutions to corporations same is true visit here . Figure out which sellers have the client as you and try to set a meeting . Tell them how you want to contribute by working together in growing the companies of each other.

Then zoom in for a medium shot, and repeat the scene, yet another time, in its entirety. A medium shot catches the visit this website celebrity's torso and head, and cuts off somewhere in the waist.

Was severe. You can see that he was just having fun being an entertainer. That is how he made his effect on the world.

If you need to captivate a large group with a message, you have to catch them. You'll have a noisy and bored crowd who will turn to the alcohol for entertainment much too early in the evening.

All of these options are great for companies looking to make a video to place on their website, or to advertise their company locally. With the exception of Spotmixx, none of them appear appropriate. Be warned that time is taken by some website here editing, so be patient, and you will find the result you are looking for.

New paper: Urban data and city dashboards: Six key issues

Rob Kitchin and Gavin McArdle have published a new Programmable City working paper (no. 21) – Urban data and city dashboards: Six key issues – on SocArXiv today.  It is a pre-print of a chapter that will be published in Kitchin, R., Lauriault, T.P. and McArdle, G. (eds) (forthcoming) Data and the City. Routledge, London..

This chapter considers the relationship between data and the city by critically examining six key issues with respect city dashboards: epistemology, scope and access, veracity and validity, usability and literacy, use and utility, and ethics.  While city dashboards provide useful tools for evaluating and managing urban services, understanding and formulating policy, and creating public knowledge and counter-narratives, our analysis reveals a number of conceptual and practical shortcomings.  In order for city dashboards to reach their full potential we advocate a number of related shifts in thinking and praxes and forward an agenda for addressing the issues we highlight.  Our analysis is informed by our endeavours in building the Dublin Dashboard.

Key words: dashboards, cities, access, epistemology, ethics, open data, scope, usability, utility, veracity, validity

Pollo Fundido
Also referred to as Pollo Con Queso en Tortilla

This is a tastey New Mexican dish that I order frequently from Arriba Mexican Grill in Phoenix, Arizona. "Pollo" is spanish for chicken, and "con queso" means "with cheese". This is essentially a fried Chicken Burrito covered in Cheddar and Cream cheeses. It's made Low-Carb by using Low-Carb Tortillas. Note: NOT an "induction" meal.

Pollo Fundido or Pollo con Queso en Tortilla

12 large Low-Carb Tortillas
12 large slices of Cheddar or Jack cheese

6 pounds boneless chicken meat, white and dark
1 green pepper
1 medium white onion
2 stalks celery
2 tomatoes, whole and peeled
Water to cover bottom of stock pot
Garlic, salt and pepper to taste
1 pound cream cheese
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 ounce fresh jalapenos, diced
1/2 ounce chicken base
  1. In a large pot, add vegetables, except tomatoes, and cook until softened, about 30 minutes.
  2. Crush tomatoes and add, along with spices.
  3. Add chicken and cook for another 30 minutes until meat is cooked cooked.
Cream Cheese Mixture
  1. Soften cream cheese.
  2. Place all ingredients in a mixer and blend evenly.

  1. Make chicken burros by placing meat in center of large soft flour tortilla, rolling halfway, folding both ends and completing the rolling process.
  2. If needed, use a toothpick to hold tortilla in place.
  3. Fry burro in vegetable oil and set aside.
  4. Cut each into halves.
  5. Place one-half ounce of cream cheese, on top of each
  6. Place a slice of Cheddar or Jack cheese on top of each.
  7. Bake in 350° until cheese melts, about one minute.

Patrick Villanova joined BlackLine in November of 2015 after spending 15 years in the Assurance Practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he handled everything from clients’ IPOs and SEC filings to mergers and acquisitions.

With BlackLine, he had the opportunity to do much of the same, but all within the space of his first year. “When I was an outside auditor, visiting a client was like going to a party that had already started and eating the last piece of cake,” he says. “Now, at BlackLine, it’s like I’m baking the whole cake from scratch. Big difference.”

BlackLine Quarterly: PwC says that its Assurance services “help you navigate regulatory complexity and strengthen trust and transparency.”

At BlackLine, trust is seen as a major factor in automating accounting and finance processes. How does a company go about building a trustworthy accounting function?

Patrick Villanova: I think it takes putting the right people and the right processes in place, to start. You strive to have transparency within the organization. You want to maximize communication—about key accounting judgments, future obstacles, and any issues that are pertinent to financial leadership, shareholders, and the Board.

Personal integrity is vital. You want people who stand their ground and do the right thing, or in areas that require significant judgment, who will do the “most right” thing.

And these qualities must be maintained throughout the entire accounting and finance organization, across every member of the team.

BlackLine Quarterly: How do you promote these behaviors?

Patrick Villanova: It’s important to foster a culture where employees won’t be punished for proactively admitting they made a mistake or acknowledging they don’t completely understand something and need more coaching.

In fact, it should be encouraged. In our world, the longer a mistake goes undetected, the greater the cost to the organization—and that cost can be exponentially greater.

BlackLine Quarterly: What aspects of process automation are most important?

Patrick Villanova: There’s a lot you can do with process automation, obviously, but a few things stand out.

First is journal entry. That’s the point of inception for recording a financial transaction, so it’s important that you capture all relevant documentation there. Process automation makes that easy to do because you can establish criteria for recurring or automated journal entries, and the less manual intervention, the better.

Next is the reconciliation process. It should be done religiously. Every account in your general ledger should be reconciled monthly, or depending on your company, at least quarterly.

Manual reconciliations might have been okay 10 or 15 years ago, but they are going the way of the dinosaur. You can’t just print out thousands of reconciliations and put them in a binder and check mark them all.

For one thing, that probably wouldn’t pass muster in today’s controls environment. But also, the old way of doing things is inefficient and ineffective in an increasingly globalized economy. Companies have accounting departments around the world, reconciling accounts in different currencies and in different time zones.

Real-time, cloud-based process automation brings complete transparency to the controller, and that’s critically important. Process integration lets you standardize the functionality of automated reconciliations based on guidelines set by the accounting department. This further enhances efficiency and effectiveness.

But you also need to look at the big picture, and that gets into variance analysis. You may have millions of journal entries being recorded and thousands of reconciliations being performed in your organization, so you should also have the necessary finance and/or accounting managers looking at trends or variances—doing gut checks that everything makes sense in the aggregate.

An automated variance solution compiles and aggregates the results of all of these transactions and highlights unexpected variances based on parameters established by the finance and accounting departments. That’s what can tip you off to some unexpected variance or problem that needs to be investigated further.

BlackLine Quarterly: And what then?

Patrick Villanova: Then you go and fix the problem as part of your close process, prior to it being identified by anyone else. The best accounting departments are like the best umpires in baseball—they go largely unnoticed, and the department runs smoothly.

But it takes a lot under the surface to make that happen.

BlackLine Quarterly: And if it doesn’t run smoothly, I would think the ramifications could be severe. For years, there’s been a kind of precept that’s popular with makers of computer-aided design (CAD) software.

They say that if you can catch a flaw in the design stage of an automobile, for instance, and you can fix it there, it’s a lot less expensive then if that flaw makes its way through to the production assembly line and the manufacturer has to issue an engineering change order.

And if the flaw gets into customers’ hands, then you can suffer even more in terms of reputation. Do you think there’s an analogy here with the workings of an accounting department and company trust?

Patrick Villanova: Certainly. All sorts of things can go wrong if you don’t get the numbers right, and if you don’t report them in a timely manner.

The longer it takes to identify that mistake, the greater the reputational damage can be to that accounting department or to the company in aggregate—and the damage can be catastrophic depending on the magnitude of the error.

If you efficiently and consistently close your books without any significant errors, you have the trust of executive management, your auditors, and your shareholders.

BlackLine Quarterly: So, what happens if you don’t close your books on time?

Patrick Villanova: If you‘re even a few days late due to a correction of an error in the close process, you could lose the trust of some C-level executives, notably the CFO. They need numbers they can rely on as soon as possible to be able to communicate financial results to the market and recalibrate forecasts.

But you’d still have the trust of the auditors and shareholders, assuming you caught the mistake before it got to them.

BlackLine Quarterly: What if the auditors identify the mistake instead of the company? And the error is material?

Patrick Villanova: Well, if it gets to your auditors, then they’ll question the process. Then it can cost you money and time because they’ll ask more questions. Even if the error is corrected before ever being reported to the general public, you might have a reportable internal controls event.

Keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be material to have a publically reportable internal control issue. The error just had to have the potential to be material.

That can cause an erosion of trust and an increase in tension between you and the auditor. It can be damaging to your department’s reputation, and even to your
company’s brand.

The Armageddon scenario is if a material error gets through the accounting department, through finance, through the Board review, and the auditors. Now the global capital markets won’t trust you. You’ll be open to possible lawsuits and you’ll likely pay massive fees to your auditors in order to correct it.

So, there’s no question that trust in Finance will find its way out to the company’s shareholders and stakeholders. That’s why it’s important on many levels—saving
time, managing costs, sustaining a positive reputation and mitigating risk—to establish a well-oiled, highly automated accounting department.

Read our first issue of BlackLine Quarterly to learn more about how your organization can build trust, internally and globally.

What’s The Difference Between Dental Discount Programs & Traditional Dental Insurance-Do They Save?

What’s The Difference Between Dental Discount Programs & Traditional Dental Insurance-Do They Save?

Posted by: Purrfect Dential

Maintaining your oral health is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Most people want to make the commitment to improve their oral health, but have a hard time choosing between traditional dental insurance and a dental discount program.

Therefore it’s important to understand how the differences between dental insurance and dental discount programs can affect you.

Dental insurance policies can be typically characterized by monthly premiums, deductibles and annual maximums while dental discount programs are designed to be as accessible as possible; they do not share any of the characteristics of dental insurance.

The monthly premiums for typical dental insurance policies may be as much as $50 a month for individuals and in excess of $100 per month for family plans.

As an alternative, dental discount programs are far less expensive. Dental discount programs start as low as $6.95 per month for individuals, $11.95 per month for couples and $15.95 per month for families. In addition, if you shop around you can find dental discount plans that include free vision care.

Usually, people using dental insurance must meet a deductible before their dental insurance starts to cover their dental care; when making comparisons it’s therefore important to consider the cost of the deductible as one of the overall costs associated with dental insurance.

Annual deductibles typically vary from $50 to $100 per covered individual; it is difficult to put an actual cost on the deductible because it depends on the specific dental insurance policy owned.

Dental discount programs do not have deductibles. Instead, dental discount program members pay a membership fee that qualifies them to pay discounted rates at participating dentists at the time services are rendered.

Most dental insurance plans cap the amount of reimbursement to an annual maximum that is typically $1,000 to $1,500 per year. The insured person is then responsible for any costs over and above the annual maximum.

Dental discount programs do not have annual maximums. Program members are able to use their discount dental cards as often and as much as they want to. There is absolutely no limit to the amount of money members can save by using their dental discount program.

People with dental insurance policies often moan about the time-consuming red tape they are forced to face, including the need to provide written claims, exclusions on pre-existing conditions and the excessive waiting periods for major procedures.

As an alternative, easy to use dental discount programs are designed to save member’s time as well as money!

Nearly all dental insurance policies require policyholders to go through a tedious and very time consuming written claims process, every time they have a claim!

There is no such tedious paperwork and hassles for dental discount cardholders; discount dental program members simply present their membership card to a participating provider at the time of service to receive their discounts.

Dental insurance plans will often either refuse to cover certain procedures or impose a long waiting period.

If you are considering dental insurance you need to be aware that many dental insurance policies have exclusions on pre-existing conditions and may require up to as much as a 18 month waiting period before paying for any major dental treatment.

As an alternative, dental discount programs are free of such limitations and become active almost immediately, allowing program members to join and start saving on their dental care as quickly as possible. Further, dental discount programs offer significant savings on dental specialties, such as orthodontics and teeth whitening, while most dental insurance policies rarely cover such procedures.

The escalating cost of dental insurance makes dental insurance inaccessible to a large number of individuals and families.

Very cost-effective dental discount programs are accessible to individuals, families and businesses as an alternative to costly traditional dental insurance.

Dental discount programs are also an easy and flexible way for businesses to save time and money on valuable dental care for their employees.

Despite the differences between traditional dental insurance and dental discount programs, some of them can even be used together in certain situations to maximize savings.

To summarize, dental discount programs are an affordable and easy to use alternative to traditional dental insurance and offer program members substantial savings on most dental procedures.

Although it’s impossible to accurately compare the costs of traditional dental insurance with dental discount programs, I have estimated a comparison based on a family of four.

Typical dental insurance would carry a premium cost of around $1200 per annum while a dental discount program would cost around $192 in annual membership fees.

Assuming 4 oral exams, 4 teeth cleanings, 1 root canal and 1 extraction over the course of a year the standard dentist’s bill would be around $1184. With traditional insurance the actual cost to the policyholder would be the deductible or approximately $200. With a dental discount program the dentist’s bill would be around $465, all of which would be payable by the discount card member.

The bottom line makes interesting reading; the total cost using traditional dental insurance would be approximately $1400 (annual premiums plus deductible); the total cost with a discount dental program would be approximately $657 (annual membership fee plus the actual cost at the dentist).

Is it any wonder that around 30 million Americans (about 10% of the population) are now using dental discount cards?

Food for thought I think!!

Born in London, England, David Sheath has resided in the USA for more than 20 years. After a successful career in investment banking with UBS and Bear Stearns, spanning some 25 years, David turned his hand to insurance. That led David to the discount health care market where he now owns and manages . specializes in providing individuals, small businesses & associations with money saving discount programs.

Top 5 Benefits of Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel helps companies maximise the value of their data, helping to control costs more effectively and obtain business information.

Microsoft Excel gives businesses the tools they need to make the most of their data. And when it comes to making the most of resources, and maximising return on investment, this is becoming increasingly important. Firms are collecting ever-greater volumes of data from multiple sources, including in-store-transactions, online sales and social media. They need to be able to collate and analyse this information quickly and effectively.

Excel spreadsheets are commonly used across business to display financial information and other data relevant to the running of the business. This could be information relevant to the customer relationship management department, sales, marketing or HR. With so many business functions now reliant on IT and the internet, Excel continues to be seen as a vital tool for administration and the effective running of a business.

Here are five of the top features and benefits of Microsoft Excel:

QuadExcel_Charts_Graphs (12)

Build great charts

Excel allows business users to unlock the potential of their data, by using formulas across a grid of cells. Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, allowing it to be sorted and filtered, and then displayed in a visual presentation. Using pie charts, graphs and clustered columns adds meaning to data, which otherwise may just exist as row after row of numbers. These visualisations can add extra emphasis to business reports and persuasive marketing material. Excel recommends charts most suitable for the type of data being presented on the X and Y axis.

Use conditional formatting

Excel users can format their spreadsheets using different colour shades, bolds and italics, to differentiate between columns and bring the most important data to the fore. This function could be useful when presenting accounting information, such as the pre-tax profit and the balance being carried forward by the company. Users can select an appropriate colouring scheme via the Quick Analysis button, and then by utilising the Formatting tab.

Help identify trends

When presenting data in the form of charts or graphs, it can be helpful to include average lines, which explicitly detail the key trends emerging from the information. This may help demonstrate the key points to other users in a straightforward manner – for instance, an executive from a different department during a board meeting. Excel allows trend lines to be extended beyond the graph, to offer predictions of future activity – and such forecasts can help businesses develop their future strategy.

QuadExcel_Charts_Graphs (25)

Bring data together

Excel can be used to bring information from various files and documents together, so that it exists in a single location. As well as raw data and information from other spreadsheets, it is possible to import text and images. Other objects can be added using the Insert tab, or additional spreadsheets can be added to the file.

Online access

Excel is available online as part of Microsoft’s Office 365 productivity suite. This means business leaders and employees have access to the program from a range of devices, from almost any location. Providing they have a web-enabled PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet it should be possible to access Excel, making remote and mobile working viable.

Prior to commencing practice on her own account ten years ago, Heather worked for nearly two decades with a highly-respected multi-national law firm specialising in every aspect of property: sale and purchase, financing, leasing, property development, asset protection and trusts and estate planning.

She also has extensive experience and practical knowledge with respect to business and commercial transactions. If you are buying or selling a business, or require advice on commercial contracts or franchising, Heather can assist in all aspects of the transaction from due diligence to ownership structure.

Heather prides herself on being accessible to clients and for striving to make every transaction as seamless as possible. Alex and Heather work together closely to complete every transaction.

Registered Legal Executive

Quinn Law is pleased to welcome back Alex Nilsson (née Sintes). Alex previously worked for Quinn Law for six years from December 2005 to February 2011.

Alex’s legal experience spans over 11 years, 8 of those as a qualified Legal Executive. Alex and Heather worked together at the same multi-national law firm and have a close personal relationship as well as a business one.

Because Quinn Law is a small “boutique” law firm, Alex and Heather work very much in a “team” so in most instances, they work together on the same transaction, each performing different functions, but 99% of the time, they each have an in-depth knowledge of the majority of transactions.

It is Alex’s job to ensure that the Quinn Law conveyancing and administrative unit runs smoothly and Alex is always available to provide assistance and answer queries regarding the status of your transaction. Alex is your first “port of call” for any conveyancing or trust account queries, and in many cases, she will manage your conveyancing file from start to finish. In fact any legal question that you have, if Heather is unable to assist you because she is meeting with a client or on the telephone, feel free to ask Alex, because she is a “can do” person with a wide knowledge and she will do her best to help you, or track down that information that you require!

If your query is beyond Alex’s expertise, don’t be afraid to give her a “run down” of your requirements. The more information she can gather, will enable Heather to review those requirements and provide a speedy answer, which will save you and Heather time and money in the long run.

Alex is a welcome return to Quinn Law and looks forward to re-connecting with existing clients and welcoming new clients.

MF Grimm: The Hunt For The Gingerbread Man

If you haven't heard of MF Grimm yet I wouldn't be surprised. Percy Carey aka MF Grimm started of his career on Sesame Street of all places. In 1994 Grimm survived his 2nd murder attempt. Shot seven times Grimm was blinded, deafened and paralyzed. He later recovered his vision and and hearing but remains confined to a wheelchair. Grimm is also known for being a comic book and graphic novel writer. Oh and it's been rumored that he wrote most of Dr. Dre's "Chronic" album. His cd "The Hunt For The Gingerbread Man" doesn't have the best beats, lyrics or storytelling I've heard. As far as best concept album I've heard? Definitely. How can you go wrong when the whole album focuses on a fugitive Gingerbread Man with stories about his gingerbread mansion and carousel in a metaphorical world of Candy Land. By far the best song on the album is "My house". A song about the Gingerbread Man aka Gingy who meets a girl named Gretel (Hansel's sister). At this point Gingy is scared to tell Gretel that he slings candy so he alters his story by saying that he trades it on wall street. "Couldn't tell the truth, had to think quick, I don't work on wall street, I move it by the brick." Gingy then goes on trying to convince Gretel to come back to his house with lines like, "Your perfume, smells like caramel, come to my house, you could ride my carousel". They then proceed to Gingy's house in his chocolate interior, 600 Gingerbread Benz. Back at the house Gingy then gets Gretel drunk off butterscotch, they bust out the whip cream and the rest is history. Insane song and an entertaining cd. Def check it out.

I\'m seeing some very interesting differences with the claimed credit that results from wu\'s processed on Linux vs. wu\'s processed under Windows.

First, the machines are near identical in terms of computing power. In fact, the cpu_run_time_pref reported by each is identical. The actual CPU seconds processing times and the cpu processing performances I see in my local logs are close enough to each other that they would be considered statistically equal. But for some reason the credit requested by the Windows clients is three (3) times larger then the Linux work units!

There are some differences between the Boinc clients (5.2.5 vs. 5.2.13) and the Ralph app version (4.84 vs. 4.92). But is this enough to throw the claimed credit differences that far off? My thought is that someone should look into this and come up with a reasonable explanation.

Here are some examples:

WU 15380

It appears that this issue may be somewhat more severe. I\'m seeing a similar disparity with the Rosetta production version as well. I need to do some more analysis, but my quick look at results are showing a similar trend.

It boils down to \'boinc\' and I wouldn\'t bother looking into it.

Given the times for the rosetta are near identical is good to know though.

These are the two important parts of the information to look at
Measured floating point speed
Measured integer speed
for the computer, it is that and purely that that time the time taken that gives you the points.

Windows is well known to give higher values due to the way it\'s compiled (boinc client) you can manipulate thoose values yourself if you want as you can compile your own client.
Have a read here may give you more insight.

also do a search on either of the forums for credit and there\'s been plenty of discusion on proposed ways to solve it.

is that applications does *not* checkpoint enough.
Thus, after each suspend/resume a part of the WU is re-crunched again (hehe)

So, that excessive high claims are legit -:!
* and not caused by benchmarks in anyway.
-> after all, the work was done, and re-done and re-done ... and on and on

read here (I found this problem cause this occured with me)

*I hope all apps checkpointing at least at each 10 seconds
to not waste cpu time re-crunching ... and to avoid that excessive high claims -:)

*such excessive higer claims, cause others to believe u are a cheater
and worse ... some projects as simap wasting about 2 teraflops
only to keep a quorum of 3 and grant the median_claim

I would have to look into it further to confirm, but thought I read somewhere that the way Linux counts CPU time vs. the way Windows counts it differs a bit. I\'d have to check up on it again before I\'d feel comfortable being quoted on what I\'m only half remembering now...

If they\'re close in actual run times then this is a good sign, as the Linux variant has many times had lower performance... Einstein@home was facing that for a bit, with continual tweaks to the linux science app being made. Now that akosf has his optimized Albert app, and after some of his improvements get introduced into the official science app; I imagine this discrepency will increase on that project again. Well, until further work, allows some of his improvements to be ported over to the Linux variant of their science app also...

It is a known problem that the benchmark scores under Linux are about half of what they are under Windows. The run-time for the work units is the same though. This results in about half the credits being claimed.

Poondi Swamy

Poondi Swamy

Where is Poondi?”
Poondi, Tamil Nadu District, India.
How to get there :
1. There are buses available from Thiruvannamalai
2. Take a bus to Thiruvannamalai from Tirupati and get down at Kalasapakkam. Poondi is 2 kms away from Kalasapakkam. Take either a bus or walk down to Poondi.
3-About seven miles from Polur, on the main road to Tiruvannamalai. You will have to take a diversion to reach Poondi village.
Along the River Cheyyar :
This area has been Poondi Swami’s haunt for a number of years. Whether it was blazing sun, or torrential rain, whether it was biting cold or thick mist, he used to spend his days and nights on the river bed only.

It was the fag end of 1969. On my way from Tiruvannamalai to Vellore, I stopped at Polur to have darshan at the samadhi of Saint Vitthoba. We met Duraiswami Swamigal at the mutt who introduced me to a Mr. R. Pargunam. The latter’s father had been a contemporary and devotee of Vitthoba and had had a close association with the saint. Pargunam narrated certain incidents he had heard from his father about Vitthoba’s life.

Before I took leave of him, I asked him if he had known any living siddha.

“Oh, yes,” he said enthusiastically, and added, “There is a swamiyar at Poondi. A recluse, he had wandered for several years around nearby villages. Seven years ago he settled on the pyal of a house there. He has not stirred from there since. Only last month; I was there. You must have his darshan.”

“Where is Poondi?”

“About seven miles from Polur, on the main road to Tiruvannamalai. You will have to take a diversion to reach Poondi village,” Pargunan explained.

We left immediately for Poondi accompanied by Duraiswami Swamigal.

After proceeding about five miles on the Polur-Tiruvannamalai trunk road, we took a turn to the right at Kalasapakkam and travelled along the River Cheyyar.

“This area has been Poondi Swamiyar’s haunt for a number of years. Whether it was blazing sun, or torrential rain, whether it was biting cold or thick mist, he used to spend his days and nights on the river bed only,” said Swamiji.

“Does he belong to Kalasapakkam?”

“No one knows his name or place of birth. For over three decades, he was seen roaming about in the neighbouring villages. About seven years ago he came to Poondi and sat in a small house permanently.”

“What is his age?”

“He looks a man of sixty. But those who have seen him 25 years ago say that they do not find any change in his appearance and that he does not seem to be aging at all. You cannot assess a Siddha‘s age from his appearance,” stated Swamiji.

As we travelled, we enjoyed the natural beauty of the rural landscape. Because of good rainfall, there was a perceptible flow in the otherwise dry river. The leaves of a row of peepul trees on the bank rustled in the cool breeze, somewhat reducing the rigours of the blazing sun.

As we neared Poondi, I asked, “Is the house occupied by the Swamiyar in the interior of the village?”

“No, it is on the main bus route. See, there! Do you see that group of persons standing near a house? That is the house. We park the car here,” said the Swamiji and driver Palani brought the car to a halt.

We got down from the car and walked up to the house.

It was a small, tiled house. It had two pyals on either side. The one on the right was a square one, four feet by four feet, and the one on the left was rectangular, four feet long and two feet wide.

On the left pyal sat the Poondi Swamiyar. His head was poised at an odd angle. He glanced from time to time at those who stood around. He held a couple of boxes of matches in a tight grip in his right hand as he patiently combed his moderate beard with the fingers of his left hand. Every now and then he looked intently at his fingertips, as if searching for lice or dirt. Then he got back to combing his beard with serious intent.

A young man arrived, went to the Swamiyar and whispered in his ear. The Swamiyar nodded assent with a gruff ‘hmm’. The young man picked up a cigarette, placed it between the Swamiyar’s lips and lighted it. The Swamiyar asked for the box of matches. Now the Swamiyar had three boxes of matches in his right fist! He smoked with his left hand. I found him smoking in an unusual way. He inhaled, removed the cigarette, blew out the smoke, almost immediately took the cigarette back to his lips, inhaled, removed it and blew out smoke. He did this rapidly again and again, like a fast-motion shot in a movie, finishing a full cigarette within a couple of minutes! He let out only a little smoke, yet did not seem to swallow much of it.

Two admirers fell prostrate on the ground, stood up, touched his feet with veneration, and asked for sacred ash as prasad.

“You may take it,” came the curt command. They took it from the cup, smeared it on their foreheads and left, merely saying, “We are going, Saami”. “Let good befall on your endeavours,” responded the Swamiyar, looking down, then looking up for a split second with sparkling eyes.

A boy came with a bottle of aerated water. He opened the bottle and offered it to the Swamiyar, who took it and drank it at a stretch, without once removing the bottle from his lips. As he handed over the bottle to the waiting boy, he let out a noisy and prolonged belch. The boy took a piece of cloth and wiped the Swamiyar’s mouth and nostrils. The Swamiyar received these ministrations like a well-behaved child.

Before the boy left, the Swamiyar took a pinch of sacred ash, smeared it on the boy’s forehead and bade him go.

I had been staring at the Swamiyar all this while. He suddenly looked at me. Nay, I felt a cool spark strike me. When I had read about the efficacy of Shirdi Sai Baba’s ‘yogic glance’ I could not comprehend its full import. When I experienced the power-packed glance of Poondi Swamiyar, I could imagine the impact Sai Baba’s yogic glances would have had on his devotees.

I, who had been watching the happenings without being impressed, fell at his feet the moment he glanced at me. It was an act performed unconsciously. It was a spontaneous response to a look that thrilled me beyond words.

A woman admirer put a peppermint in the Swamiyar’s mouth, as if she was feeding her child. He stretched his hand and asked for the piece of paper in which the peppermint had been wrapped. An inexplicable impulse prompted me to offer something to the Swamiyar. I asked my friend to get a cup of coffee from a nearby ‘tea shop’.

<span class=Poondi Swamiyar" src="" border="1" width="300" height="419">

Poondi Swamiyar seated on his pyar. Prominent around him are lithograph pictures of Lord Murugan with the Lord's Vel and the focus of worship. Besides the Vel, at least four images are of Murugan.

A local enthusiast who had been busy offering me unsolicited information about the idiosyncrasies of the Swamiyar, told me that he would accept anything only if he had the mind and mood for it, and if he accepted what was offered, it meant the giver had his blessings in ample measure. Hence, it was with much hesitation and trepidation that I proffered the coffee to the Swamiyar.

He gave me a searching look and accepted the coffee. I observed his fingers. They were long and thickset. The hand was also large and sturdy. If he stood up he would be a stalwart figure.

He drank the coffee too in an unorthodox fashion. He neither raised his head nor removed the cup from his lips. He slurped the coffee fast with his tongue, as a cat would drink milk from a plate. I was immensely pleased that he had not only accepted my coffee but drunk it with relish. No sooner had he finished, another admirer brought him a cup of tea. He drank that too in the same manner. His ways were indeed strange.

Different fruits and eatables were littered all over the place. He was surrounded by oranges, apples, grapes, plantains, laddu, halwa, boondhi, chocolates, peppermints, biscuits and what not! On his lap lay a cigarette packet, two chocolate wrappers, a one rupee note. There were two glasses with left-over cold coffee. Pictures of various gods hung on the wall. There was a small but imposing vel of Muruga. A colour picture of Lord Muruga was nailed to a pillar opposite him. The Swamiyar concentrated on it at regular intervals. Behind the pyal, there was a small room. The various eatables offered to the Swamiyar were dumped in it up to the roof. Cigarette packets, boxes of matches, garlands, fruits, plantain leaves, bits of paper and a thousand and one things had been thrown in as directed by him. Nobody dared touch even a trivial thing found on the pyal without his permission.

I was startled to find the fruits that had been thrown in were fresh. They had not become rotten. No stink emanated from them. I could not see even a single fly or ant.

I was introduced to a man named Subramani, who was standing near a thatched shed opposite the house. He was a tailor. He had been attending on the Swamiyar for the past three or four years. Before that, when the Swamiyar was occupying the bigger pyal on the right, he did not allow anyone to even come near him.

Only during the last three years had he let others clean the pyal and bathe his body. Subramani brought food for the Swamiyar from his house, both in the morning and in the evening, but the Swamiyar “had never asked him or anyone else to bring him anything to eat. He would eat only if he was spoon-fed. If he did not feel like it, he would reject the food summarily. The Swamiyar sat through the whole day. Only at night would Subramani assist him to stretch out on the pyal. It was anyone’s guess if he slept at all. At four in the morning, he would be assisted to sit up and resume his usual posture.

“Does he talk to people?” I asked Subramani.

“Oh, yes. He will talk freely, provided he is in the mood. Sometimes he gives direct answers to queries. Sometimes he replies with indirect and oblique remarks. We then have to try and understand the meaning with a little effort.”

“Have you ever had occasion to ask his name or about his native place?”

“Oh, yes. Several times, but in vain. He will not reveal them. He would silence me by saying, ‘They are divine secrets’.”

“Has any miracle taken place here to prove that he is really a Siddha Purusha? I asked.

Subramani wanted to say something, but seemed to hesitate.

“Please be frank,” I encouraged him.

“So many things happen every day... I am not clear in my mind if I should narrate them or not. You must be very cautious and careful. He is not an ordinary Swamiyar. You should gauge him according to your own personal experiences.”

I took leave of the Swamiyar and left for Vellore.

A week later, I was back in Poondi and spoke to him. I said, “Swami, I was here last week. I could not resist the desire to see you again, so I came.” I just spoke inconsequentially, merely because I felt an urge to say something. I least expected him to reply.

But most unexpectedly he spoke. “Even Nagarathnam Pillai says so. He says, ‘If you think of me, I must be here’. Don’t you know Arcot Nagarathnam Pillai? I mean Vellore-Arcot...”

I was reassured and emboldened.

“What is Swami’s name? From where does the Swami hail?” I asked hurriedly.

“What harm did I do to rice-mill Govindaraja Mudaliar, or what did he do to me? Everything belongs to those good old days... good and bad... order and discipline... transport, justice, honour... what do you say? They laid the roads. Buses plied... electricity came... they planted the posts... Konerikuppam, Pilluru, Melvaidyanatha Kuppam... Friday shandy... will there not be a crowd? Those who come to buy and sell, and their children... everything must go on automatically... mustn’t it? Do you concur with me? Annamangalam, Adimoolam... Ernamangalam Sivaraman... They put up a tollgate... took money and gave a receipt... But it is valid only for the night... Next day you must obtain a fresh receipt. Understand?” He went on in this strain. I could not make head or tail of his disjointed statements. To ascertain the probable period during which the incidents he referred to took place, I asked him, “Were the Englishmen in the country then?”

“The Japanese were also there,” quick came the reply. I surmised he was referring to a time during World War II.

“May I know Swami’s name and his birthplace?” I asked again, taking advantage of his conversational mood.

“I can’t tell you all those things,” he replied in a huff and I felt snubbed.

From the subjects he discussed and the idiom he used, it would appear that he had spent long years in rural areas. The core of his observations was agricultural problems and village development. But we could not divine the content or decipher the meaning of his utterances. Was he talking about the past, present or future? It was impossible to guess.

The Poondi Swamiyar does not reply to all questions. When he condescends to reply, some are direct answers, some are indirect references. He talks to persons at random. Most of the time he keeps a stoic silence. He looks at familiar and unfamiliar faces with equal indifference. It is extremely hard to observe any perceptible change in his expression.

Admirers and disciples from neighbouring villages trickle in throughout the day. Some fall at his feet, take the sacred ash and, smearing it on the forehead, speed away. If they take leave of him saying “Poi varen, Saami”, he sometimes replies “Nallathu, poi va “ (very good, you may go), sometimes he simply nods assent, and at other times he remains as still as a rock, just staring at them.

Some take him into confidence and discuss their personal affairs. He gives them a patient and sympathetic hearing and sends them away with words of advice. He imparts knowledge through a colloquial language which will catch the imagination of rustic minds or by quoting a proverb which is used in day-to-day life. The deeper we ponder over them, the clearer the underlying import and significance become.

An old woman complains to the Swamiyar with deep hurt about her son who has become a spendthrift because of his evil ways. In the Swamiyar’s comforting words to the unfortunate woman, his deep concern for her is obvious.

“What can we do about it, Ammal This is the Kali Age. If we spend twelve annas in a rupee, we must save four annas. We need not covet others’ wealth or aspire to their property. We must be satisfied with a cup of gruel. Don’t you agree with me, Ammal As is said in the proverb, ‘The mother’s heart is melting in love and the son’s heart is-hard as stone’, you suffer agony. What to do? This is the Kali Age. Nobody will sympathise with another’s suffering. If we step on a thorn, even the man next to us will not come to our rescue. Times are bad, what to do? You can lead a comfortable life only if you lead a careful life and save something for the winter... small drops make an ocean. Arulilarkku avvulagam Mai, Porulilarkku ivvulagam Mai (Those who do not have compassion are denied the joys of the other world. Those who do not have wealth are denied the pleasures of this world).”

The woman intervenes and mumbles something. The Swamiyar continues, “Yes, yes... it is not without significance they said ‘You will hurt the same leg again and again, and the very same famished family is destined to suffer more and more’... Bad company. Who can help it, this is the Kali Age? You need not take much precaution if you raise greens in the garden. But if you plant a drumstick sapling nearby, you must put up a fence all round. Otherwise someone will steal the drumsticks when the tree starts yielding... This is such a hopeless age...”

Another devotee announces his plans to start a business, taking a friend as his partner. He seeks the Swamiyar’s blessings for the project.

“Even in some families, brothers born to the same mother do not live in amity and peace these days... they quarrel among themelves... you be careful in your venture,” advises the Swamiyar.

The mother of all lizards (Press review)

A new international research rewrites the history of reptiles starting from a fossil found in the Dolomites.

The origin of lizards and snakes should be pushed back by about 75 million years, as documented by a small reptile, Megachirella wachtleri, found almost 20 years ago in the Dolomites and rediscovered today thanks to cutting-edge techniques in the field of 3D analysis and the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships. Evidence to this effect has been provided by an international paleontological research with the participation of the MUSE Science Museum of Trento, in collaboration with the “Abdus Salam” International Centre of Theoretical Physics of Trieste, the Enrico Fermi Centre of Rome and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. The results have been published in the prestigious science journal Nature, which has also dedicated its cover image to research.

The international team has identified Megachirella wachtleri – a small reptile which lived approximately 240 million years ago in what are today the Dolomites – the most ancient lizard in the world thereby providing key insight into the evolution of modern lizards and snakes.

The data – obtained by 3D X-ray imaging techniques and the analysis of DNA sequences – suggest that the origin of “squamates”, i.e. the group comprising lizards and snakes, is older than previously thought and that it can be dated to approximately 250 million years ago, before the most extensive mass extinction in history.

“The specimen is 75 million years older than what we thought were the oldest fossil lizards in the world”, explained Tiago Simões, from the University of Alberta, Canada, lead author of this research, “and provides valuable information for understanding the evolution of both living and extinct squamates”.

“The amount of processed data is such as to leave no doubt on the reliability of the obtained result  – stressed Massimo Bernardi, paleontologist of MUSE of Trento. “This small reptile, which can surely be regarded as one of the most important fossil remains ever found in our country, will be a reference for paleontologists and anyone who is to study or describe the evolution of reptiles from now on. Megachirellais a sort of Rosetta stone, a key to the understanding of an evolutionary event that has affected the history of life on this planet forever”.

Today our planet is inhabited by approximately 10,000 species of lizards and snakes, almost twice as many as the mammal species. Despite this diversity, until now the origin and the first stages of reptile evolution had remained wrapped in mystery.
Discovered in the first years of 2000 in the Dolomites of Trentino–Alto Adige, Megachirella wasfirstinterpreted as an enigmatic reptile similar to a lizard. However, the impossibility to extract the specimen from the rock containing it and the lack of comparable material did not allow a precise reconstruction of its evolutionary relationship with other reptiles.

For a better understanding of its anatomy, Megachirella has been analysed by X-ray computed microtomography (microCT) at the Multidisciplinary Lab of the “Abdus Salam” International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in collaboration with “Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste”. The microCT technique is similar to the hospital CT systems, but at much greater detail. It can produce a virtual 3D model of the external and internal parts of the analysed specimens with micrometer resolution. It also allows to virtually separate different sample components, such as a fossil from its rocky matrix.
“When the MUSE colleagues took the Megachirellafossil to Elettra, I was enthusiastic at this opportunity and at the same time aware of the technical difficulties that a microCT analysis could entail” – explains Lucia Mancini, researcher at the Elettra  international research facility. “Thanks to the collaboration with ICTP and by using suitable tools to analyse the 3D images, we have succeeded in virtually separating the skeleton from the rock”. “As soon as we saw the results of the analysis, we realised that, after millions of years, we were the first to observe the underside of Megachirella, i.e. the side embedded in the rock: it was a great thrill” adds Federico Bernardini, researcher at ICTP and Fermi Centre.
The data obtained thanks to virtual imaging have been added to the largest dataset ever assembled comprising lizards, snakes and their close relatives, and have been analysed by means of state-of-the-art methods capable of reconstructing relationships between species. Thus, this small, previously enigmatic, reptile has been fitted into the tree of life, it being the most ancient known squamate.
Thanks to the spectacular reconstruction of a living Megachirella – by the multiple-award-winning Milajn paleoartist Davide Bonadonna the research has also made it to the journal coverwhich had not dedicated its prestigious opening image to an Italian fossil for twenty years.

For over three decades the Geology and Paleontology section of MUSE has been studying the geo-paleontological diversity in the Dolomites area. The recent research projects on the effects of the great environmental changes occurred in the history of planet Earth have led to a new analysis of rock successions and fossil findings that have been integrated into global-scale analysis, thus demonstrating the importance of the geo-paleontological heritage of the Dolomites and offering new interpretations of our remotest past.
The study published in Nature today is the result of years of observations and analyses, initiated thanks to the collaboration with Evelyn Kustatscher from the Natural Science Museum of Alto Adige and Silvio Renesto from Insubria University, which developed into a complex protocol of analysis and the development of a new interpretation model of the great global crisis, in particular of the most extensive mass extinction in history, occurred 252 million years ago. An event which brought about the end of many groups of organisms but which, as this study also demonstrates, became an opportunity for others.
The study is part of the project “The end-Permian mass extinction in the Southern and Eastern Alps: extinction rates vs. taphonomic biases in different depositional environments” funded by the Euregio Science Fund.
The researchers of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and the “Abdus Salam” International Centre of Theoretical Physics (ICTP) of Trieste have contributed to this study with an accurate and non-invasive analysis of the lizard fossil, with the aim of safeguarding its integrity and, at the same time, revealing its hidden features. Cutting-edge technologies were used, in particular those available at the Multidisciplinary Lab (MLab) of ICTP specifically dedicated to the cultural and archeological, and the fruit of the collaboration between the two centres. The laboratory, co-funded by the Fermi Centre of Rome, is equipped with a range of portable equipment for X-ray radiography, microtomography, fluorescence and diffraction used for both research activity and the training of students and scientists from developing countries.
The Multidisciplinary Lab of ICTP
The ICTP Multidisciplinary Lab (MLab) hosts activities promoting interdisciplinary experiments and applied physics. The world-class scientific activities carried out by the Lab include the planning of integrated digital circuits and the development of innovative technologies allowing to observe matter by x-ray analysis, from rocks to the historical and archeological heritage, without damaging them.
The Laboratory collaborates with several scientific research institutes, both local and international, in order to offer hands-on training to scientists from developing countries, so that theoretical studies can be transformed into practical applications.
