Toxins Hidden in Your Child's Sunscreen?

Should We Be Alarmed?

Active ingredients in sunscreens come in two forms, mineral and chemical filters. Each uses a different method of protecting skin and maintaining stability in sunlight. Either can be hazardous to your family's health. The most common sunscreens we find on store shelves everywhere contain chemical filters. These products usually contain a combination of two, up to six, of these active ingredients: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate. Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Some products combine zinc oxide with chemical filters. Now let's look at the ingredient toxicity in sunscreen: We will outline the level of human exposure, and toxicity information for the top most toxic FDA-approved sunscreen chemicals. The FDA information I have gathered has given the following results. The highest toxicity UV filters listed one by one: Oxybenzone: This has a very high level of toxicity. It's use is widespread in the sunscreens in United States, and is detected in nearly every American; found in mother’s milk; with skin penetration in lab studies that range from 1 to 9%. It is an estorogen and endocrine disruptor (affects the reproductive and thyroid system) that alters sperm production in males and is associated with endometriosis in women. It also has been shown to cause permanent alteration in reproductive development and/or behavior. It also causes skin allergies in a hight percentage of the population.

Octinoxate: Though this chemical scores slightly lower in toxicity, it still is found in mother's milk. It is a knkown hormone disruptor and it interferes with and alters thyroid funcion. Homosalate: This is rated at yet a lower toxicity level than the previous two chemicals, however, it is far from harmless. This is also present in mother's milk, and can be passed to a nursing baby. This is another hormone disruptor that affect levels of estrogen, androgen, and progesterone; considerable cause for alarm in a developing fetus. The most concerning thing about this is that it combines with other substances to create toxins inside the human body. Titanium Dioxide: This chemical is usually found in the form of a spray or a powder. It is widely used in sunscreens in the USA. Though it doesn't affect hormone functions in the body, there is reason for concern if inhaled. This is by no means, a complete list of chemicals in sunscreens. We make no attempt to list every ingredient. Our interest is in bringing forth the most dangerous, and pointing out the health concerns according to those with higher toxicity. Two European studies have detected sunscreen chemicals in mothers’ milk, indicating that the developing fetus and newborns may be exposed to these substances (Schlumpf 2008, Schlumpf 2010). A 2010 study by Margaret Schlumpf of the University of Zurich found at least one sunscreen chemical in 85 percent of milk samples of lactating mothers. The biggest concern surrounds the sunscreen chemical oxybenzone, found in nearly every chemical sunscreen sold in the United States. Consumers would be wise to avoid this chemical because it can penetrate the skin, cause allergic skin reactions and may disrupt hormones (Calafat 2008, Rodriguez 2006, Krause 2012). Preliminary investigations of human populations suggest a strong link between higher concentrations of oxybenzone and its metabolites in the body and increased risk of endometriosis and lower birthweight in female infants (Kunisue 2012, Wolff 2008). The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has detected oxybenzone in more than 96 percent of the American population, based on a sampling of more than 2,500 children and adults (Calafat 2008). Researchers found higher concentrations of oxybenzone in samples collected from participants during the summer months and concluded that sunscreen use may explain this seasonal difference. A chemical called methylisothiazolinone, or MI, a preservative that is listed among the 'Inactive Ingredients' is found on the labels of 90 plus types of sunscreens, more than 10 of which are marketed specifically for use on children, and is also present in 54 SPF-rated daily moisturizers. It also is sumetimes found along with methylchloroisothiazolinone, or MCI, another related chemical preservative. This 'inactive ingredient' seems to be very active at causing allergic reactions of the skin. It has been proven to be a skin allergen, and has been causing some very serious reactions, mainly in children. So, think before spraying, or slathering on that sunscreen! It is emparative that we find the safest products to use for our families. We are all bombarded daily by chemicals in the air, food, and environment that have assailed our immune systems to the point of collapse. We need to at least not add to the problem by putting toxic substances on our bodies without looking at the consequences.

5 Tips for Keeping Your Cholesterol in Check

When your total cholesterol levels exceed 200 mg/dL, your risk of cardiovascular disease increases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 95 million Americans have total cholesterol levels higher than 200 mg/dL.

At Heart & Vascular Institute, our experts work hard to prevent cardiovascular disease, so we’d like to offer you these five tips on keeping your cholesterol levels in check.

1. Know your fats

When you’re working to control your cholesterol levels, there are three kinds of fats you need to understand: saturated fats, trans fats, and omega-3 fats, sometimes called omega-3 fatty acids.

Saturated fats are those in red meat and full-fat dairy products. When you eat less of these foods, you lower your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is sometimes called “bad cholesterol.”

Trans fats are in junk food — cookies, cakes, crackers, and other sweets and prepared foods. They’re sometimes listed as “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” on ingredients labels.

Now that we’ve told you what to avoid, here’s what you should eat more of: omega-3 fats. Avocados, fish, and olive oil are good sources of omega-3 fats, which don’t increase LDL, and have heart health benefits.

2. Exercise more

Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity five times a week, or if you prefer more vigorous exercise, you may choose 20 minutes of aerobic activity three times per week.

If you don’t like exercise, or it’s simply not a habit for you, build up to the recommended amounts. You might start with 10 minutes a day of brisk walking.

One of the most important factors in sticking to an exercise habit is finding something you enjoy doing. If you dread it, you’re far more likely to give up on it. Whether you prefer a team sport, group fitness classes, or just walking, make sure it gets your blood pumping and you look forward to it.

3. Eat more fiber

Most people don’t eat enough soluble fiber, and increasing the amount of fiber you eat can help lower your cholesterol. Foods like oatmeal, beans, prunes, and other fruits and vegetables can help you feel fuller, so you don’t crave snacks.

Some studies have shown that increasing the amount of fiber you eat by 5-10 grams per day leads to a measurable drop in LDL. Raise the amount slowly, though, because you can experience cramps and bloating if you increase it suddenly.

4. Lose excess weight

If you increase the amount of exercise you do, cut out saturated and trans fats, and eat more fiber, chances are good that you’ll begin to lose weight “without trying.” Extra weight can contribute to high cholesterol, so you may want to try a few other things that can help you shed pounds.

If you drink soda, cut back or stop. Consider your snacks and opt for those that are low in calories, like chopped veggies or air-popped popcorn.

Try tracking your calories for a few days so you know what you’re eating. Have a piece of fruit or low-calorie candy when you crave something sweet.

Losing weight can be a struggle, but making small, incremental changes is one of the ways you can be successful.

5. Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption

If you’re a smoker, you’re at a higher risk for numerous health conditions, including high cholesterol. If you’ve struggled and failed to quit, talk to your doctor. We may be able to help you find an approach that works.

Moderation is a good idea in most areas of life, and alcohol consumption isn’t an exception. For women and men older than 65, “moderate” is considered no more than one drink per day; for men, no more than two.

In some cases, even doing all of these things consistently isn’t enough to adequately control your cholesterol. We can help by prescribing effective medications.

If you have questions about controlling your cholesterol or the risks of high cholesterol, schedule an appointment at Heart & Vascular Institute in Dearborn, Detroit, and Southfield, Michigan. You can easily book online, or you can call any of our three locations to schedule your appointment.

Rest In Peace, Skeeter Davis

I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
or this city would've seen the last of me
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
and that old grey dog won't let me ride for free

I didn't learn that Skeeter Davis was from Kentucky until this morning. Per Wikipedia:

Davis was the first of seven children born to William Lee and Sarah Rachel Roberts Penick, in Dry Ridge, Kentucky. Because her grandfather thought that she had a lot of energy for a young child, he nicknamed Mary Frances "Skeeter" (slang for mosquito). In 1947, the Penick family moved to Erlanger, Kentucky, where Skeeter met Betty Jack Davis and Wanda Rose Rader at Dixie Heights High School, becoming instant friends. They sang together through much of high school, and at Decoursey Baptist Church, where Wanda's father was the pastor. They formed a group known as the Davis Sisters (although they were unrelated), and started singing on Detroit radio station WJR's program Barnyard Frolics.

And then, just a few paragraphs later in her fascinating life story ("The End of the World" ... Grand Ole Opry suspension ... Mrs. Ralph Emery for a while ...), I learned that Skeeter Davis died 10 years ago at age 72.

Rest in peace, Mary Frances Pennick of Dry Ridge. And thank God for hospice workers.

Growing In Unity Day 2 – Caffeinated Cards For Crafty Friends

Hello hello hello everyone… Today is Day 2 for Growing in Unity Girl post. Today, I have three caffeinated cards idea for crafty friends.

On my first card, I used the Martha Girl stamp set. This is one perfect stamp for a crafty friend who loves coffee, or cocoa, or tea.

I created that rainbow, watercolored background with brush pens. I simply scribbled each color (red, yellow, blue) on craft mat, sprayed with water, and then smooshed the watercolor paper on it.

And to get that distress look on it, I dried inks with craft heater, and then I sprayed some more water on it with sprayer bottle, dabbed the water off with paper towel, and then dried it again with craft heater.

I stamped the girl image on it with VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad with stamping tool, and then cut it with one of the Fancy Frames Dies. I added it on a white card with E-Z Runner Grand Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock, trimmed it into sentiment banner, and then added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

This second card, I used the Coffee & Flowers stamp set. This is a clean-and-simple card, super easy to make.

I stamped the flower and sentiment on a heavyweight white cardtock with VersaFine Onyx Black. And then I simply colored the image with LeisureArts Coloring Pencils. I blended the colors with white coloring pencil. This is a pretty simple technique for beginner colorist.

I trimmed the finished panel with paper trimmer slightly smaller than the card base. I added it on the card with E-Z Runner Grand Adhesive. Then, I wrapped some natural burlap twine on the top of the card. I added a tiny blue gem in the middle of the blue flower, too.

And for the third card, I used the One Sip At A Time stamp set. I love that gorgeous cup and sweet sentiments from this stamp set.

I stamped the cup on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad and then I colored it with Stabilo Woody Watercolor Crayons and water brush. After coloring it, I dried it with craft heater and then I fussy cut the cup with scissors.

I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock and then trimmed it into a sentiment banner.

I printed one of Gracillie Design digital papers on a 4×6 photo paper and then I added it on a white card with E-Z Runner Grand Adhesive. Then I added the sentiment banner on the top left card with 3D foam tape.

Next, I added some burlap twine on the card to create that wreath and secured it with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added the cup in the middle or the burlap twine wreath with 3D foam tape. I finished this card with some gems.

18. If after signing the contract there are clear indications that our demands for payment are in danger by the economic situation of the buyer, we have the right to stop deliveries, retain goods not yet delivered and to give the debtor a reasonable time of grace during which he can pay against receipt of goods or offer securities.

22. We reserve the right of proprietary on our goods until all our claims related to the business relationship with the buyer are satisfied.

23. The buyer is authorized to sell these goods under normal business conditions as long as he complies with his obligations from our business relationship. But he is not allowed to pawn the goods under reservation of proprietary nor to place them in escrow. He is obliged to secure our rights in case of selling the goods under reservation of proprietary rights.

24. If the buyer is in arrears and the period of grant expired already, we have the right to demand the return of the goods under reservation of proprietary rights, even without withdrawing from the contract. As per this contract the buyer authorizes us to enter his plant and pick up the goods delivered to him. The return of the goods or the enforcement of the reservation of proprietary rights, respectively, and our seizure of the goods mean a withdrawal from the contract only if we explicitly declare it as such. If the opening of an insolvency process is instituted, the contract shall be deemd null and void.

25. As per this contract the buyer cedes to us as security all claims and rights related to the sale or possible lease of the goods on which we have property. Herewith we accept the cession.

26. If our goods are combined or inseparably mixed with other movable objects forming a separate and complete unit, and this unit is to be considered as the main entity, the buyer cedes the proportionate ownership to us as far as he is owner of said entity. The buyer holds the ownership or co-ownership in custody for us.

27. The buyer must inform us immediately if third parties intend to initiate an executory process on the goods on which we have proprietary rights, on accounts receivable ceded to us or on other securities.The documents required for an intervention must be immediately handed over to us. This holds true also for any other kind of impairment.

28. Upon request of the buyer we will release the securities to which we are entitled inasmuch as the value of the goods delivered under reservation of proprietary rights exceed the accounts receivable by more than 20%.

Material defects

29. The qualities or properties of the merchandise are only determined by the technical order instructions. If we have to deliver according to the buyer´s drawings, specifications, samples etc., the buyer is responsible for the suitability of the goods for the intended purpose. The deciding moment to determine whether the condition of the goods are up to what is stipulated in the contract, is the moment when the risk transfers to the buyer, as agreed upon in art. 9.

30. We are not responsible neither for material defects due to unsuitable or careless use, faulty installation or putting into operation, respectively, by the buyer or by third parties, normal wear and tear, faulty or careless treatment nor for the consequences of modifications or repairs carried out by the buyer or third parties in an improper way or without our approval. The same goes for defects which reduce the value or the suitability of the goods only in an insignificant way.

31. Claims for material defects lapse after 12 months. This is not valid in case the law stringently prescribes longer expiry periods.

32. If an official taking over of the goods or the previous inspection of a sample has been agreed upon, a notification of defects is not feasible because these should have been detected by the buyer during the taking over of the goods or during the examination of the sample.

33. We must be given opportunity todetermine a defect reported to us. The respective goods must be returned to us on our request immediately; the freight will be paid by us if the complaint is justified. If the buyer does not comply with these obligations, or if he makes any modifications to the merchandise complained about without our consent, he will lose any possible claims for compensation.

34. In the event of a justified defect report that is sent in due time pursuant to Section 377 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), we will either rectify the goods objected to or deliver flawless replacement, as we may choose. Rectification or delivery of flawless replacement will not take place if, in the case of obvious defects, the defect report is submitted to us later than two calendar weeks after the receipt of the goods. Concealed defects must be reported within two calendar weeks after such are detected. Obvious or concealed defects that are reported later on will not be accepted.

35. If we do not comply with these obligations or not in accordance with the contract and in due time, the buyer can set us a deadline in writing to comply with our obligations. Once this deadline expires the buyer can ask for a reduction in price, withdraw from the contract or carry out the required repair himself or instruct a third party to do so for our account and risk. If the repair was successfully performed by the buyer or by the third party, all claims of the buyer are satisfied with the reimbursement of the costs incurred. The reimbursement of the costs is impossible if these were increased because the merchandise had been moved to another place after being received, unless this corresponds to the normal useof the goods.

36. There are legal recourse claims of the buyer against us only if the buyer did not make agreements with his customers which exceed the claims under the law for material defects. Art. 34 is also valid for the extent of the recourse claims.

Other claims and responsibilities

37. Unless there is something else in the following lines, any other or further-reaching claims of the buyer against us are excluded. This goes especially for claims for compensation because of violation of responsibilities referring to the relationship of debenture and unlawful acts. We are, therefore, not responsible for damages suffered by the goods themselves.Especially we are not responsible for lost profits and other damage to the buyer´s property.

38. The above mentioned limitations of responsibility are not valid in case of intentional acts, culpable negligence on the part of our legal representatives or executives or in case of case of culpable violation of essential contractual obligations. With the exception of culpable negligency on the part of our legal representatives or executives, we are only responsible for damages typical of contracts and which are reasonably foreseeable.

39. Furthermore the limitation of responsibility does not hold for cases where according to the law of product liability the supplier is responsible for material or personal damage to privately used objects because of defects of the supplied goods. Equally the limitation is not valid in case of violation of life, body or health and for lack of promised properties if and to the extent the promise was given especially for the purpose to protect the buyer against damages not directly related to the supplied merchandise.

40. As far as our responsibility is excluded or limited, this refers also to the personal responsibility of our employees, workers, legal representatives and assistants.

41. The legal dispositions for the burden of proof will not be affected hereby.

Force majeure

42. Force majeure, labour disputes, disturbances, official measures, missing supplies, and other unforeseeable, inevitable and serious events release the contracting partners for the duration of the disturbance and to the extent of its consequences from the obligation to comply with their obligations. This is also valid in case the events occur when the contracting partner is in a situation of delayed payment. The contracting partners are obliged to give immediately and up to a reasonable extent all the required information and must adjust their obligations in good faith to the changed situation.

Place of performance, jurisdiction and applicable law

43. Unless our order confirmation stipulates something else, our place of business is also the place of performance.

44. For all lawsuits, also for summary procedures on bills of exchange or checks the court of jurisdiction is Vechta. We have also the right tosue at the buyer´s place of business.

45. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is to be applied to the contractual situation. We agreed with our customers outside of Germany that in case of lawsuits the German law will be applied and Vechta will be the court of jurisdiction. .

The application of the agreement of the United Nations dated April 11, 1980, referring to contracts for the purchase of merchandise (CIS - "Wiener Kaufrecht") is excluded.

Ever glanced in someone else's cart at the grocery store...

and then glanced in your own cart?

Shopping can be hard.  There are so many brands and so much "health food" out there.

How can you decipher which brands to buy and which to leave?

There is a science to shopping at the grocery store.  Some stores even TRACK YOU using the MAC address on your phone and use the data to analyze your shopping patterns.

Stores use that data and collaborate with brands for product placement and store design.  It's called consumer behavior psychology and there is a lot of money spent researching your shopping patterns.

There is SUCCESSFUL grocery shopping...it's a stress-free experience where you spend as little time as possible in the store picking out the right foods for the week and sticking to your budget.

And then there is UNSUCCESSFUL grocery shopping...where it's a 2-hour affair full of impulsive purchases and a high bill at the end.

GDPR and consumer business supply chains

12 October 2018 | London
Legal Briefings

In the latest briefing "GDPR and consumer business supply chains" in our Future of Consumer series, we examine how GDPR regulatory requirements with respect to data are resulting in commercial scrutiny of privacy provisions in supply chains as parties try to ensure that they are not left with a data liability gap. Further, where customer data analytics are being used to derive value, thorough due diligence will be needed throughout the supply chain together with robust data protection mechanisms.

In our Future of Consumer series, we have previously explored how supply chain management is business critical in the consumer goods and retail sectors. Good management ensures that the right goods and ingredients get to market when they are freshest, when there is demand, in time for any promotions, and at the lowest cost. However, supply chains are also often engaged in relation to the processing of consumer data, including consumer preferences, purchasing history, financial and credit card details, and data analytics.

In a world where data is fast becoming a company's most valuable asset, engaging a service provider to process personal data on behalf of a company is commonplace. However, since 25 May 2018, the advent of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") has triggered specified regulatory requirements with respect to any commercial agreement involving the processing of personal data.

Chas's FAVORITE Sourdough Pancakes!

I love pancakes. I love all kinds of pancakes. I've rarely met a pancake that I didn't like.
The pancake itself fried so you get a little bit of crispy bits around the edge while the middle is light, fluffy, and and FULL of flavor, slathered with butter, covered in REAL maple syrup. It's a thing of DELICIOUS BEAUTY!!!

But sourdough takes these favorites of mine to another level. Boy oh, boy!!!

Over the years I've made and tried TONS of different pancake recipes. I've dabbled in sourdough for many years as well... most of that time making it so much more difficult than it really is. I feel like I'm getting the hang of it nowadays I think.

Of all the recipes I have tried though, I do believe this is the BEST one I have made. It's been tweaked and this is my favorite! MY FAVORITE! That says a lot... and I want to share that recipe with you!

Start a batch tonight for your family tomorrow! Enjoy!

1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup milk kefir, buttermilk, or water (realize you can make your own buttermilk with the amount of milk and add about a tsp of vinegar or lemon juice, allow the milk to sour a little)
1 cup flour

Combine these ingredients and allow to ferment overnight

1/4 cup melted butter (you can use coconut oil as well)
2 eggs beaten slightly
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Mix these ingredients into your prepared starter mix and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Then get your hot skillet ready, add the oil or butter to the skillet and fry your pancakes batter as normal.

This is making my mouth water!
By the way, I make double this recipe... we have a lot of big eaters, and if by chance we have a few left over, I put them in a ziplock bag for another meal!

I hope you enjoy!

I bit the bullet!

Well, I did it. After much encouragement, I, with fear and trepidation went ahead and made my first tutorials for youtube and IGTV.

Here are my first installments for sourdough bread.

Please don't expect perfection, you won't get that here... what you will get is a gal who is trying to be helpful to many right now who just want to put good healthy food on their table. Who are finding themselves in a new predicament, maybe being home a bit more than in the past, or maybe you have just decided you want to bake. This is simple, direct, and easy to follow.

My heart is to help anyone out there who may be intimidated by the technical sourdough how-to's. This is a get-your-feet-wet type method. It will get you baking and hopefully give you courage to try lots more sourdough recipes! I plan to repost some from my past as well as add a few new ones that I've used lately.

The second video is how to make a sourdough boule. The instructions are specific to that type of bread, which I find a little easier to show rather than to write, but here are the basic instructions...

Mix 1/2 cup starter with 1 1/2 cups room temp, filtered water. After you’ve mixed those together you can add your flour. 3 1/2 cups total. I used 2 cups white plain flour and 1 1/2 cup hard red wheat. Mix together with your liquids. Finally add your 1 1/2 tsp salt. Mix.
Cover and allowed to ferment, double, and rest for at least 12 hours!
**Don’t forget to feed your starter!

I hope these encourage you during this time! If you have any questions, feel free to post below or email me at
at home with chas at g mail dot com

Be well!

Woodlawn Women's Retreat 2020

On Thursday morning, we left out for our annual Woodlawn Women's Retreat.
It was cold and feeling like winter again! And on Friday, we got to see some beautiful snow falling. No accumulations, but it was still wonderful to see!
It didn't cause any issues driving so that was a big bonus!

We stayed in a beautiful cabin and had a fabulous time!
Lots of laughs and tears and learning and loving.
Our retreats are always such a source of inspiration and encouragement.

Several of these pictures were taken from a friend of mine, I barely took ANY pictures, (gasp!)!
The one above is hers and it is GORGEOUS! There was snow on the top of the Smokey Mountains.
 Our Bible studies were convicting and encouraging and challenging.
Me and my sweet friend Karen!!!
And my hands and feet partner for Friday!!

Our Pastor's wife, Beth, gave us a copy of this picture below.... a depiction of Jesus as He was reaching His hand down and pulling Peter back out of the water... It is SO beautiful!
It make me want to sing the old song
"When He reached down His hand for me!"

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way I was wretched and vile as could be
But my Saviour in love gave me peace from above
When he reached down his hand for me
When he reached down his hand for me when he reached way down for me
I was lost and undone without my God or his son
When he reached down his hand for me
I was near to despair when he came to me there
And he showed me that I could be free
Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete
When he reached down his hand for me
When he reached down

 Some pictures that I got from my sweet friend again... I have got to make sure to take more photos next time!

 But I always take the group shot. We are such a big crowd I have to open doors to get back far enough to take the picture. It makes me laugh when I get to look through some of the "get ready" pictures. I love these ladies SOOO much!
And here's our final group shot.
What a blessing to be a part of this group of beautiful, Godly women.

Over the last few years, the World Music Institute has presented many concerts of Indian classical music in New York. Their most recent offering, "Masters of Indian Music" at the Washington Square Church on March 25, 2000, presented Indian artist, Pandit Raghunath Seth of Mumbai, and American Steve Gorn of New York performing Hindustani music side by side to a sell-out crowd. The concert served to celebrate the artists' recently released CDs of classical flute music–Seth on the India Archive Music label and Gorn's Luminous Ragas on his own, Bamboo Ras Productions. Their synergy is typical of a little-known trend within Indian music.

It is by no means a new phenomenon for Western musicians to study Indian music. Once artists such as Pt. Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan brought Hindustani music to Western audiences in the 60s and 70s, something of a fad was begun among American and European musicians, particularly in rock and jazz genres already oriented toward improvisation. Guitarists took up the sitar, drummers purchased tablas, and the beat went on. Shankar found himself teaching Beatle George Harrison and performing with classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin at the United Nations, while Khan opened a school of Indian music in the San Francisco Bay Area that is still going strong today. Gradually the fad has matured into a genuine interest. A number of Indian artists have spent time in residence in the music departments of Western universities, and several major institutions–the Rotterdam Conservatory in Holland, the Birmingham Conservatory, UK, and Maharishi University of Management in the US–offer full-time degree programs in Indian music. From all this activity, perhaps a dozen Western artists have reached a professional performance level in Hindustani music: Ken Zuckerman and Steve James on sarod, the fine sitarist Allyn Minor, vocalists Warren Senders and Stanley Scott, cellist Nancy Lesh and percussionists Peter Fagiola and Ray Spiegel. What is interesting, however, is the number of Americans who have mastered the bansuri, the bamboo flute of Hindustani classical music. These include a student of Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, John Wubbenhorst [HT January, 2000]; David Philipson, who studies with Pandit Nityanand of Haldipur; Leon Leiffer, a disciple of Pandit Devendra Murdeshwar and Steve Gorn, who is currently working with Seth.

Seth occupies a unique position in modern Hindustani music. He is best known as a classical performer, but there is much more to his musical life. He is equally well-known as a composer of light music, a diligent musicologist, historian and a craftsman who has helped to improve the construction of his instrument. He has produced major film documentaries about music. With all this, it is his status as a major exponent of the bansuri that secures his reputation; he has received many awards for his work and has toured and recorded widely.

Seth was born in Gwalior, and received his early musical training in Lucknow. Having settled upon the bansuri as his instrument of choice, he traveled to Mumbai where he came under the influence of Pannalal Ghosh, the only significant exponent of this instrument in all of India at that time. Pannalal's great achievement was to found or revive a tradition of classical performance on flute, after a period of centuries when it was regarded as a purely folk instrument. But this still did not constitute a rigid school, or gharana, as exists with sitar, sarod or vocal music. As a result, flute performers have been freer to build a personal style. In Seth's case, he built upon what he had learned from Pannalal, adding various elements, both melodic and rhythmic, from existing vocal and instrumental traditions until he had achieved a fine blend of them both, forging a style through individual effort and imagination, something very few Indian artists attempt. In order to do this, he has had to overcome certain technical limitations with the instrument itself, adding a bamboo key to facilitate the correct rendition of certain ragas by allowing for a perfectly smooth glissando between the fourth note (ma), and the fifth note (pa), which is otherwise difficult to accomplish on the bansuri.

The relative freshness and openness of the bansuri tradition has also contributed to the popularity of the instrument among Western musicians. The older styles typically demand a strenuous and extended guru-shishya relationship that can be very difficult for a Westerner, unless he or she is willing to relocate to India for lengthy periods of time. Some bansuri students have done this, but others have been able to develop their skills in different ways. Wubbenhorst continues his studies with Chaurasia through the Rotterdam Conservatory. Gorn has taken yet another approach. One of the most respected participants in the World Music movement, Gorn performs in a wide range of genres on soprano saxophone, clarinet and a variety of flutes. He has toured and recorded with jazz stalwarts Don Cherry, Jack de Johnette and Tony Levin and World Music artists Glen Velez, Krishna Das, Jai Uttal and Badal Roy. Gorn is widely known in the West for his creative blends of Indian and Western music. At the core of his style, however, and suffusing all he does, is a profound association with the bansuri tradition extending over three decades. It began on an extended trip to India in 1971 when he was introduced to one of Pannalal's senior disciples, Sri Gour Goswami. On extended visits to India during the 1970s Gorn studied under Goswami's guidance and, later, after Goswami's death, continued to work with the late Ustad Z.M. Dagar and Professor Deba Prasad Banerjee. Absorbing all that he could, Gorn went on to forge a unique personal style.

Since 1994, however, Gorn has been taking instruction from Seth. "This has added another dimension to my playing," Gorn reports. "I liked the fact that Raghunathji comes from the extended Pannalal Ghosh tradition, that traditional, vocal style. I have learned many wonderful compositions from him and tremendous inventiveness in developing taans [highly decorated, improvised melodic passages]. But most of all I was personally drawn to his sound–such a full, rich, warm sound on the flute. I really like that."

Above all, perhaps, from all his teachers, Gorn has learned the reverence inherent in Indian music. "Music is one of the greatest aspects of Hinduism," Pandit Seth informed him. "For us, music is not mere entertainment; we play music to reach God."

Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886)

Religion is the secret of life. It teaches us to love, to serve, to forgive, to endure and to interact with our brothers and sisters with empathy and compassion. Advaita (non-duality) is a purely subjective experience. But in daily life it may be expressed as love and compassion. This is the great lesson taught by the great saints and sages of India, the exponents of Sanatana Dharma. Mata Amritanandamayi, Kerala-based hugging saint

Wealth’s nature is to be unenduring. Upon acquiring it, quickly do that which is enduring. Tirukural 333

I swore that I would not suffer from the world’s grief and the world’s stupidity and cruelty and injustice and I made my heart as hard in endurance as the nether millstone and my mind as a polished surface of steel. I no longer suffered, but enjoyment had passed away from me.” Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950)

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home. Australian Aboriginal proverb

Actions are the louder expression of thought. The quality of thought is ordered by the nature of our inner belief and faith. Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993), founder of Chinmaya Mission

If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Susquehannock proverb

Grace is always present. You imagine it is something somewhere high in the sky, far away, and has to descend. It is really inside you, in your Heart, and the moment you effect subsidence or merger of the mind into its Source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you. Ramana Maharishi (1879-1950)

Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for? Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. Lao Tzu (ca 600 bce), author of Tao Te Ching

If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all. Michelangelo (1475-1564), Italian Renaissance artist

A good teacher reveals the faults you are unable to see. Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659-1719), Samurai and author of Hagakure

Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being. Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

One who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life. Rabindranatha Tagore (1861-1941)

By your nature you are free; you have forgotten yourself in your state of slavery. A king may fall asleep and find himself a beggar; he may dream that he is a beggar, but that can in no way interfere with his real sovereignty. Swami Rama Tirtha (1873-1906), teacher of Vedanta

Practice enjoying the moment. It is where we spend our entire lives. I Ching, the Chinese Book of Changes

One small step taken to reach a small milestone later helps you achieve the bigger goal. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (1830-1880), founder of the Maratha Kingdom

Meditation practice doesn’t stand by itself; the state of consciousness we achieve in meditation needs to influence how we handle experiences as they come to us in our daily activities. Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, publisher of Hinduism Today

The belief in the existence of God everywhere, as an all-pervasive, self-effulgent energy and consciousness, creates the attitude of sublime tolerance and acceptance toward others. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (1927-2001), founder of Hinduism Today

Did you know?

The Earliest Known Ploughed Field

Kalibangan’s cross-ploughed field. ASI
A model of the town site, showing the major sections. ASI

In the North Indian state of Rajasthan resides what is considered to be one of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization’s major provincial capitals, known as Kalibangan. This archaeological site is unique in that it includes two major fortified sections. The lower one resembles other sites from the early Harappan culture, while the upper section boasts the metropolitan grid layout and city planning associated with later Harappan sites. The whole town is distinguished by its near universal possession of religious fire altars in the houses. These altars, for the most part, are given their own specified rooms. Unique to this site is the discovery of what appears to be the earliest known ploughed field to be excavated. The field shows that the plow was in use by the 3rd millennium bce and alludes to an unbroken  continuity of farming techniques still used today.

A view of an excavated street through the town as it stands today. ASI

In his book New Light on the Indus Civilization, former Director General for the Archaeological Survey of India, B. B. Lal, states: “Kalibangan in Rajasthan has given evidence of the earliest (c. 2800 bce) ploughed agricultural field ever revealed through an excavation…. It shows a grid pattern of furrows, placed about 30 cm apart running east-west and others spaced about 190 cm apart running north-south, a pattern remarkably similar to the one used today.”

Are Hindus Idol Worshipers?

A. Manivelu

In Hinduism, one of the ultimate attainments is when the seeker transcends the need of all form and symbol. This is the yogi’s goal. In this way Hinduism is the least idol-oriented of all the religions of the world. There is no religion that is more aware of the transcendent, timeless, formless, causeless Truth. Nor is there any faith that uses more imagery to represent Truth in preparation for that realization.

The stone or metal Deity images in Hindu temples and shrines are not mere symbols of the Gods. As Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami wrote, “They are the form through which their love, power and blessings flood forth into this world. We may liken this to our ability to communicate with others through a phone. We do not talk to the phone itself; rather we use it as a means of communication with another person. Without the telephone, we could not converse across long distances; and without the sanctified icon in the temple, we cannot easily commune with the Deity.”

Divinity can also be invoked and felt in a sacred fire, or in a tree, or in the enlightened person of a satguru. In our temples, God is invoked in the sanctum by highly trained priests. Through the practice of yoga, or meditation, we invoke God inside ourself. The image or icon of worship is a focus for our prayers and devotions.

Another way to explain icon worship is to acknowledge that Hindus believe God is everywhere, in all things, whether stone, wood, creatures or people. So, it is not surprising that they feel comfortable worshiping the Divine in a material manifestation. The Hindu can see God in stone and water, fire, air and ether, and inside their own soul. Indeed, there are Hindu temples which have in the sanctum sanctorum no image at all; just a yantra, a symbolic or mystic diagram. However, the sight of an image enhances the devotee’s worship.

Generally, this question is about the “graven images” which are denounced in various other faiths. Yet, isn’t it true that all religions have their symbols of holiness? The Christian cross, the holy Kaaba in Mecca, the Sikh Adi Granth, the Jewish Torah, the meditating Buddha, all such icons, or graven images, are held in reverence. The question is, does this make all such religionists idol worshipers? The answer is yes and no. From our perspective, idol worship is an intelligent, mystical practice.

The human mind adores the use of forms and symbols that awaken reverence, evoke sanctity and spiritual wisdom. Even a fundamentalist Christian who rejects the Catholic and Episcopal forms of idol worship, would be deeply offended if someone showed disrespect for his Bible, for he considers it sacred. His book and the Hindu’s icon are surprisingly alike in this way.

A Fond Farewell at the Year 6 Leavers’ Service

15th July 21

Each summer we host a special leavers’ service to say farewell to our year 6 pupils. During the service the girls celebrated their time at Holy Cross; they gave thanks for the friendships, lessons, and memories they will take with them to senior school and beyond.

Our year 6s were also initiated into our alumni community with a special gift from the committee – a commemorative trinket box featuring the Holy Cross shield and an illustration of the school.

Our year 6 pupils may have walked through the school gates for the final time last week, but as we always say… once a Holy Cross girl, always a Holy Cross girl!

Finally, a big thank you to Simon Smith Flowers for the beautiful arrangement – the perfect backdrop to our celebrations.

Valley of Elah: David and Goliath

Valley of Elah Places of Interest (Mediu

Places of Interest

Valley of Elah
David & Goliath

1. The Valley of Elah is about 15 miles (23 km.) west of Bethlehem and about 20 miles (32 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.

2. It’s located on the western edge of the Judean lower hills and was an important travel route from the coastal cities up to the center of the land of Judah and its main cities of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Hebron.

3. It’s an undeveloped site that can be seen in its natural state. It has parking alongside Hwy 38.

4. The Valley of Elah is best known for the epic battle between young David and the giant Goliath, a skilled veteran warrior.

Historical Background

1. The Philistines were a Canaanite people who inhabited Israel before the Israelites arrived.

2. The Israelites were unable to conquer them, and there were battles between the two nations for much of Israel’s history.

3. The Philistine’s stronghold was on the coastal plane in the Gaza area.

4. They were powerful, cultured, and possessed iron. They were the high-tech people of the day and did all they could to prohibit Israel from gaining iron and access to their technology (1 Sam. 13:19).

5. They worshipped many false gods. Among them was the worship of Baal.

6. At this time in Israel’s history, the Philistines were attempting to push up through the Valley of Elah towards the heart of Judah. King Saul and his army engaged with the Philistines here to stop them.

7. The battle was one of the most pivotal between the two nations, with the loser agreeing to serve the winner. It was a “winner takes all” kind of battle.

8. Later in King Saul’s life, he would be killed by the Philistines in the Gilboa area.

9. David would eventually subdue the Philistines, and during the time of Solomon, there was peace between the two nations.

10. David was probably around 16–18 years old when he fought Goliath. We'll see why this is so as the story unfolds.

Valley of Elah in the Bible

1. The battlefield setting.
1 Samuel 17:1–3: Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle. And they were gathered at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim. 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered, and encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in line of battle against the Philistines. 3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.

2. The battle terms defined.
1 Samuel 17:4–10: And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span [more than 9 feet tall]. 5 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail [bronze scale armor], and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze [about 125 pounds]. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron [15 pounds]. And his shield-bearer went before him. 8 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” 10 And the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together.”

3. The hearts of the Israelites were jolted to their core, and they became terrified.
1 Samuel 17:11: When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid

4. David arrived at the Valley of Elah and accepted the challenge to fight Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:20–27: And David rose early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the encampment as the host was going out to the battle line, shouting the war cry. 21 And Israel and the Philistines drew up for battle, army against army. 22 And David left the things in charge of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the ranks and went and greeted his brothers. 23 As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines and spoke the same words as before. And David heard him.  24 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were much afraid. 25 And the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel. And the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father’s house free in Israel.” 26 And David said to the men who stood by him, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” 27 And the people answered him in the same way, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”

5. King Saul reluctantly agreed to allow David to fight Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:31–37: When the words that David spoke were heard, they repeated them before Saul, and he sent for him. 32 And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth.” 34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, 35 I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth. And if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him. 36 Your servant has struck down both lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37 And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!”

6. David chose not to use King Saul’s armor in the battle with Goliath.
1 Samuel 17:38–39: Then Saul clothed David with his armor. He put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail, 39 and David strapped his sword over his armor. And he tried in vain to go, for he had not tested them. Then David said to Saul, “I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them.” So David put them off.

7. David, with just 5 smooth stones and a sling, went into battle against a heavily armed, experienced fighting machine, who was a giant of a man and had his armor bearer with him.
1 Samuel 17:40–47: Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the brook and put them in his shepherd’s pouch. His sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.  41 And the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, with his shield-bearer in front of him. 42 And when the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him, for he was but a youth, ruddy and handsome in appearance. 43 And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field.” 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”

8. The outcome of the epic battle showdown.
1 Samuel 17:48–51: When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.  50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it.

9. David’s defeat of Goliath led to a great victory over the Philistines.
1 Samuel 17:51–52: When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron.

Faith Lesson from the Valley of Elah

1. The outcome of the battle was far more significant than we might realize. If the Israelites lost, they would become the servants of the Philistines. It was a “winner takes all” battle.

2. David’s motivation in the battle was the glory of God and the protection of His name: “So that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Sam. 17:46).

3. During David’s youth as a shepherd, he developed many skills. He learned music, how to write, use a sling, how to fight to protect his sheep, and how to love the Lord and obey Him.

4. God used David’s skill of using a sling, along with his love for the Lord, to defeat Goliath.

5. The skills David developed as a youth he used throughout his life. He faithfully led the nation Israel, instilled a love for the Lord in his kingdom, and wrote many psalms that were used in his time and throughout history to this day.

6. David knew that it’s not the size of our weapons but the size of our faith in God that matters. So he went into the battle full of faith, and confident God would give him the victory.

7. Do I understand that it’s my responsibility to develop my abilities and it’s God’s responsibility to direct me in how I use them?

8. Do I realize that the most important skill I possess is my love for the Lord and my heart to obey Him?

9. What miracles might God want to do in my life that would show the whole earth that there is a God in the land?

Natrium phosphoricum is present in the blood, brain and nerve tissue cells. It plays a role in the breakdown of lactic acid in the muscles. A deficiency of Natrium phosphoricum causes pyrosis, an increase in the concentration of uric acid, arthritism, kidney stones and gallstones. It also increases predisposition to cold-related complications, sweaty feet and armpits.

  • Head cold
  • Swelling of the tonsils, stomach pain after eating fatty foods, gallstones, nephritis, bladder catarrh
  • Inflammation of the mammary glands

In short, this salt acts on acid, stones, rheumatoid conditions, diabetes, and catarrh, as well as being a diuretic. It works well with Silicea as an anti-uric-acid agent.
