KOLKATA: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) organized East Regional Conference on Business Human Rights in Kolkata on Friday. The objective of the Conference, the third of its kind, is to share the developments in the area of business and human rights besides hearing experiences and views of stakeholders.

Justice Darmar Murugesan, Member of NHRC said that availability and accessibility of human rights are an important measure of human well being universal in nature. It is crucial that business enterprises respect human rights culture in the country by their conduct and operations. “Undoubtedly, the Government has a responsibility and has taken initiatives to protect the people against the violation of human rights, at the same time, business organizations also need to shoulder the responsibility to respect human rights,” he said.

He said the United Nation’s Guiding Principles (UNGPs) on Business and Human Rights developed by John Ruggie and endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011 rests on three pillars – Protection, Respect and Remediation. The second pillar elaborates on corporate responsibility to respect human rights which entails twin responsibilities on the part of businesses.

He further said although respect of human rights remains a voluntary obligation for companies, it is receiving wide support, of late, paving the way for implementation of Guiding Principles in responsible business efforts.

Dr Satya N Mohanty, Secretary General of NHRC while talking in context of responsibility of business to respect human rights added that it has become a much more simpler task for the businesses ever since the Sustainable Development Goals 2013 itself has come out with one agenda item on ‘responsible business’.

He highlighted the aspect of ‘knowing’ and ‘showing’ embedded in UNGPs which emphasizes that the company should know and be able to show that they respect human rights by conducting due diligence process on continuous basis. He also highlighted the importance of mapping of supply chains by businesses to identify the adverse human rights impacts.

Mr Avijit Mukerji, Regional Managing Partner and Assurance Leader, East, PwC, said the canvas of CSR for most companies is limited to consciously choosing two important areas – education and sustainable development. He also stressed upon the importance of embedding human rights framework in business operations which would substantially help them in building their reputation in the market.

Mr Sushanta Sen, Principal Adviser of CII, listed some recent initiatives of CII and highlighted the importance of industrial relations and ensuring equally, dignity of regular and contract workers – through payment of reasonable wages.

CHENNAI: Auto ancillary company JBM Auto reported a 25.77% jump in its net profit to Rs 65.88 crore in FY16-17 compared to a net profit of Rs 52.38 crore reported for the financial year 2015-16.

Net sales recorded for the financial year were Rs 1,790.23 crore as compared to Rs 1,517.76 crore in the previous financial year.

For the fourth quarter, JBM Auto reported a profit of Rs 13.47 crore compared to Rs 9.67 crore in the same period last year. JBM Auto’s Q4 FY2017 sales, including other operating income, stood at Rs 467.47 crore compared to Rs 422.11 crore in Q4 of FY2016, registering a year-on-year increase of 10.75%.

MUMBAI: Lenders to Reliance Communications (RCom) placed the cash-strained telecom company under a strategic debt restructuring exercise (SDR). An SDR is a debt-recovery programme under which lenders convert debt to equity and sell the business to new owners.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules require that banks get control of at least 51% shares in the company through debt conversion and sell the business within 18 months of initiation of SDR. However, RCom’s lenders have agreed to wait until seven months before they convert debt to equity.

RCom has debts of over Rs 45,700 crore on its books and it intends to reduce this by Rs 25,000 crore through a merger of its mobile services unit with Aircel and a sale of its interest in the telecom tower business to Canada’s Brookfield. The company’s current market capitalisation is Rs 5,139 crore.

“We met the lenders on Friday and presented our plan for strategic transformation and I am happy to report that our plan has been accepted by them,” said Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Communications. Ambani added that creditors have given the company time till end of December to seal the two transactions which would reduce RCom’s debt by 60%.

NEW DELHI: Elon Musk, the founder of American electric carmaker Tesla, highlighted India’s plans to shift to an all-electric fleet by 2030, just hours after quitting from US President Donald Trump’s advisory council over his decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord.

Musk’s words were lapped up by Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra, who invited the US businessman to India for selling his green cars.

“India commits to sell only electric cars by 2030. It is already the largest market for solar power,” Musk tweeted, an apparent reference to India’s growing efforts towards promoting cleaner energy.

Mahindra, who has large plans in the electric vehicle space, responded to Musk’s tweet. “Time you got out Elon. You don’t want to leave that whole market to Mahindra do you?? The more the merrier–and greener..!,” Mahindra -who is usually very active on the social media -tweeted. Musk acknowledged Mahindra’s comment with a “good point :)” tweet.

Industry experts and companies say Musk’s comments are more as a posturing against Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate deal. The electric vehicle ecosystem is in its infancy in the country and it will take years to gain popularity.

Musk has been showing interest of bringing his electric car to India, though he recently raised some doubts over certain regulatory concerns. However, the Indian government dispelled his apprehensions and said that businessman was welcome to invest in India.

The chatter of Mush and Mahindra was lapped up by the twitterati, who had many comments to offer to the two businessmen.

Niti Ayog Vice Chairman Arvind Panagariya on Friday, said that India’s economy is expected to grow at 7.5% in the fiscal ending in March 2018. Speaking at a press conference, he said that the economy will witness a “good” turnaround as early as the next (April-June) quarter itself.

He further said that the growth rate will accelerate to above 8 per cent in 2019.

Panagariya re-imposed faith in the country’s economy after the GDP growth slowed down to 7.1 per cent year-on-year in 2016-17. The GDP growth in the January-March quarter came down to 6.1%, with which India lost the tag of the fastest growing economy. Analysts quoted demonetisation as the main reason behind the slump although Finance Minister Arun Jaitley denied these claims in a press conference on Thursday.

Mumbai: Storied American investor KKR & Co plans to chase bigger buyout deals in India even as it announced a new $9.3-billion Asia fund, making it the largest private equity pool dedicated to investing in the region. Nearly one-fourth of the record fund may be deployed in India with KKR gearing up to become possibly the first foreign investor to run a 100% asset reconstruction company (ARC) in the country.

“We have ploughed nearly $8 billion in private equity investments and financing support to Indian companies in the past eight years. The new Asian fund gives us an opportunity to look at bigger transactions as domestic corporations seek de-consolidation and value maximisation,” Sanjay Nayar, chief executive, KKR India, told TOI. The firm has invested $3.2 billion in private equity deals, besides extending more than $1 billion annually in financing through corporate- and real estate-focused NBFCs.

KKR has filed an application with the Reserve Bank of India to start a fully owned ARC to pursue deals for distressed assets in the country. It had earlier planned to acquire majority stake in International Asset Reconstruction Company, in which HDFC Bank, Tata Capital, ICICI Bank and City Union Bank are investors.

KKR opened its Mumbai office in 2009, though it has been investing in the market since 2006. KKR’s existing India PE investments include Aricent, Avendus Capital, Bharti Infratel, Cafe Coffee Day, Emerald Media, Magma Fincorp, SBI Life and Max Financial Services. In the past 12 months, KKR exited from portfolio companies such as Alliance Tire Group, Gland Pharma, Dalmia Bharat Group and TVS Logistics in deals totalling almost $2 billion. Recently, it made a second $900-million investment in Bharti Infratel following one in 2008.

Hyderabad: City-based infra player GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd (GVKPIL) on Friday informed the bourses that its board has agreed to divest the company’s remaining 10% stake in Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) to FIH Mauritius Investments Ltd (FMIL, a part of Fairfax Group) for a consideration of Rs 1,290 crore, marking its exit from the project.

“The board of directors has approved the sale of residual 3,84,60,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each corresponding to 10% of the issued and paid up share capital in BIAL held by GVK Airport Developers Limited through Bangalore Airport & Infrastructure Developers Private Limited (BAIDPL), a step down subsidiary of the company, to FIH Mauritius Investments Ltd (FMIL) and/or its affiliates at an aggregate purchase consideration of Rs 1,290 crore,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

According to the company, the proceeds of the sale will be used to pare debts and the transaction is expected to be completed by early 2018.

GVK Group founder chairman and managing director, G V K Reddy, said, “Notwithstanding this sale, the airport sector will continue to be a core focus area for GVK…Our immediate focus will now be on Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports and on selectively evaluating privatisation opportunities. This reduced debt burden gives us flexibility and releases management bandwidth to focus on these projects.”

“Capacity optimisation and real estate development will be the key focus areas for the existing Mumbai airport. Having won the bid for the Navi Mumbai airport, we are excited to deliver yet another world class airport,” he added.

CHENNAI: Retailers Association of India (RAI) has set up a desk to help its members understand GST. Through the helpdesk, member retailers across the country can resolve their queries by subject matter experts and facilitate a smoother transition to GST.

“Members of RAI deal with a variety of goods and services as they represent various retail formats and segments such as supermarkets, garment retail, jewellery and quick service restaurants. Many of them are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) located in various parts of the country. We also have international retailers representing various formats as our members. As they move into a new and complex regime, a helpdesk with seasoned experts on the panel will help extract collective wisdom and ease the move towards GST,” said Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO, Retailers Association of India.

Hubbard County OKs land sale for roundabout

The Hubbard County Board authorized a quitclaim deed and offer to sell county land to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for the U.S. Hwy. 71 roundabout.

The matter was discussed at their Tuesday meeting.

"This is that very small sliver of land over by our (Public Works) office that MnDOT buys fee title for all of their right-of-way," explained said County Engineer/Public Works Coordinator Jed Nordin. "It's only .17-of-an-acre permanent easement, and there's a temporary easement across a corner that's .1 of an acre."

MnDOT will pay $500, even though the appraisal was for less than that. "Five hundred dollars is their minimum offer, so that's what we're going to get," Nordin said.

County Commissioner Ed Smith inquired how the home at the southwest corner of the CSAH 33 and Hwy. 71 intersection will be impacted by the roundabout.

"Undoubtedly, the roundabout will affect his place, but I don't think it encroaches as much as one would think," Nordin replied. "The footprint of the roundabout is not that huge. MnDOT is buying very small pieces."

"People see stakes and don't understand why they are out there," Smith said.

Nordin said the homeowner's driveway will be changed, likely rerouted to the north.

County Commissioner Vern Massie said a lot of people were against the roundabout "because they don't understand it. I think once it's in place and they'll adjust."

Smith agreed, mentioning there are several roundabouts in Brainerd. "I think it'll work out," he said.

County Commissioner Char Christenson, stating she's in favor of the roundabout, made the motion to authorize the land sale. The motion passed 4-0, with County Commissioner Dan Stacey absent.

County highway maps update

The board approved a quote of $2,363 from Pro Print, Inc. of Duluth to print 3,000 county highway maps. The figure does not include shipping or an approximate $500 pre-press charge.

"We haven't printed maps since 2007, so it was time to get an updated map," said Nordin.

Nordin estimated that 10,000 maps were ordered in 2007. Initially sold for $1 each, the maps were eventually given away because there were so many of them in storage and "we wanted to update them because there are so many changes in the road system," he said. Only 50 of those maps remain.

The reverse side of the map has city inserts, with city streets enlarged.

Nordin said he did some research and learned that Beltrami County sells their maps for $4 each. They ordered 1,500 and still have 800, "so they're not going out the door," he said.

Board Chair Cal Johannsen wondered if people still use paper, fold-up maps with the advent of smartphones and Google maps.

"They do," Nordin said, particularly tourists traveling through the area. "We get a lot of requests for it."

He estimated printing will cost $1.75 per map. "Do you want to charge anything, and if so, how much? Or is this just a service we provide for people?" he asked.

The board accepted the low quote and voted to offer the maps to the public for free.

Nordin said the county will likely invest $6,000 into the new maps, which would not need to be re-printed for another five years. "It's not a big expense," he said, adding the highway department works with the Park Rapids Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce to distribute the maps.

Let's Go Fishing

County Land Commissioner Chip Lohmeier reported that the Let's Go Fishing chapter requested that the county install a gate on the Heartland Park fishing pier.

"The county parks board has been reluctant to allow that because 1) it's not a dock, it's a fishing pier and 2) we have talked to MNCIT (Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust) and they have said we cannot modify structures without losing coverage for liabilities," Lohmeier said. "We've been trying to find a suitable solution, such as installing a floating dock somewhere."

Let's Go Fishing would like a floating dock because Fishhook River levels fluctuate and the pontoon needs a consistent height, he said, adding that possible locations are Red Bridge Park or Deane Point.

"Floating docks tend to be pretty spendy, but we are trying to provide a service for some of our elderly and handicapped," Lohmeier said. "We'll work to try to find something."

In other related business, the board approved a final payment of $18,564 to DLL Excavating, Inc. of Little Falls for aggregate resurfacing in the southern half of the county.

Pre-Mazama Discoveries - Passport in Time

Editorial: Scientists, volunteers open window to county's past

Umpqua National Forest, Oregon, 2009
By The News-Review

Most of us don't equate rain and mud with kids in a candy store (we usually clean the little tykes up first).

But then most of us aren't archaeologists up to our elbows in artifacts from centuries ago at a Douglas County dig where each find linking the site to evidence of the earliest residents of the Umpqua Basin is met with unbridled glee.

Scientists and volunteers at the excavation near Williams Creek east of Glide have been sifting through layers of earth and silt for several years. By all accounts, the effort has been worthwhile.

The forest floor is giving up artifacts that are older than the Mount Mazama volcano blast 6,600 years ago, and some researchers believe that the oldest evidence of human settlement found so far - now estimated at 7,680 years ago - will ultimately be bested. Brian O'Neill, senior staff archaeologist with the University of Oregon's Museum of Natural and Cultural History and the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology, thinks the depth and amount of obsidian arrowheads and other tools found so far lead researchers to believe the site may be older than 10,000 years.

There have been bumps along the way for those working in the area.

Last summer, triple-digit heat kept things warm for the researchers, and then the Williams Creek Fire prompted evacuation of the excavation for a short period. No damage to the dig occurred, but the fire came close enough to scorch trees on its perimeter.

Then came near-freezing weather and cold temperatures, but the crews kept working. More than 1,300 volunteer hours have been logged by those who are assisting the scientists.

The aim of the work is to recover artifacts that will help determine eating and living habits of the former residents of Williams Creek.

A protein analysis of the items found will provide anthropologists with clues on the pre-Mazaman dwellers' diet.

"We hope to learn why this site is so special," O'Neill told News-Review reporter DD Bixby recently. The site's proximity to several miles of easily accessible steams suggests historical fishing grounds.

Debra Barner, an archaeologist with the Umpqua National Forest, said the pre-Mazama site is one of the most interesting she has worked on.

The second leg of their dig has been largely completed, and she and O'Neill hope to return in about two years to see what other discoveries await them.

The area will be protected in the meantime, with looting a concern.

Thefts of artifacts have occurred at other digs, including a 1998 case at sites near Tiller that led to the prosecution of four men.

Looting of archaeological sites is a felony, carrying a hefty fine and potentially years in prison.

It's also wrong to steal history, which is what the archaeologists and volunteers have been preserving: a window to the past.

We commend all of those involved for their efforts. We wish them lots more "candy store" moments, muddy or otherwise.

Tweets of the Week 12.10.13

Here they are, enjoy.  Hope they help and/or inspire you the way they did me.

The best leaders are the greatest servants

If you want to be counter-cultural, think a lot about God. Think high thoughts, long thoughts, true thoughts about God.

Rules without relationship leads to rebellion. Rules with relationship leads to respect.

The goal of theology is to instruct the mind and move the heart to the worship of God.

Pure leadership simply begins with solving problems and serving people.

The more you feed something, it grows. The more you starve something, it dies. Decide what to feed and what to starve.

Do what you study. Its impossible to obey the Bible & not get on mission. #OnMission

A Good Reminder This Time of Year

Where Worship Typically Goes Wrong

Book Review: Catching Foxes by John Henderson

I have read a lot of good, helpful books on marriage. I've read Keller, I've read Tripp, and while I like all the books I review (or else why would I recommend them), I don't think I've ever said this is "the best" book on the subject ... until today. I think Catching Foxes by John Henderson is the best book on marriage. It wasn't too heady or wasn't overly repetitive. It was extremely biblical while easy to read, understand, and apply. It covered all the bases, both before and after the wedding ceremony. I liked it so much, my outline of the book covered seven typed pages that I'm adopting into a marriage seminar for our church for early 2016. You may think I'm pumping up this book too much. Maybe I am, but 1) it's that good, and 2) it's not without it's flaws. The editing of the book could have used a read through or 2. I found grammatical errors (wrong word, missing punctuation, etc) throughout the book. If you've read my blog long enough, you know I'm not a grammatical genius ... so if I say them, they must be pretty big. But that is my biggest critique of the book, and this critique won't stop me from using it with couples during pre-martial counseling. Ok, maybe the title is bad too (but at least it gets explained). But that's it, the rest of the book is gold.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"The most vital preparation for marriage is internal. Our hearts must be awakened, matured, and strengthened in Jesus Christ." (pg. 12)

"Marriage comes from God. He designed it in His own mind." (pg. 14)

"No matter what your experiences have been throughout your life, they are important. They do not determine you, nor do those experiences compose who you are, but they have influenced the way you think, feel, and live. They have not caused your view of marriage, family, and life, but they have impacted your view. (pg. 23 - 24)

"Most of us, I would guess, don't begin dreaming of marriage as a way to sacrifice our desires and wants, but as a way to fulfill them." (pg. 36)

"If you are not seeking God above all else, then your marriage will bring frustration, bitterness, and disappointment." (pg. 44)

"... one of the sweeter qualities you can ever bring into your marriage is a deep grasp of grace." (pg. 54)

"Be honest about who you are in Christ. Know who you are in Christ. Get ready to trust Him in every corner of your marriage. He will accept nothing less. He will be infinitely patient with you, but He insists on changing you." (pg. 59 - 60)

"At the very inception of marriage, the mystery-union of Christ and the church was being showcased." (pg. 65)

"Marriage is the visible, physical, temporal covenant that pictures, embodies, and points to the eternal covenant between Christ and the Church." (pg. 69)

"The sacredness and awesomeness of the marriage covenant, first and foremost, should humble our hearts and drive us to God for His merciful aid." (pg. 78)

"... whenever we grasp the compassion of God toward us in Jesus Christ, we will automatically put on compassion for others. When we comprehend the kindness of our Lord toward us, then kindness toward others becomes more instinctive and unavoidable." (pg. 84 - 85)

"Christian marriage should be distinguished from other kinds of marriage, not by the absence of sin, but by the presence of redeeming and reconciling grace." (pg. 87)

"A husband's love for his wife means joyful self-sacrifice empowered by the Holy Spirit that has as its aim the eternal good of his bride for the glory of God." (pg. 99)

"No husband and wife are perfect, but by God's sovereign design, they can be a perfect fit for one another." (pg. 104)

"A wife being subject to her husband means joyful honoring of her husband’s will and position, empowered by the Holy Spirit, that has as its aim the eternal fruitfulness of her husband for the glory of God." (pg. 116)

"Headship and submission do not begin on earth, but in heaven." (pg. 116)

"Selfish desires are those desires so strong and self-interested that we are willing to sin in order to achieve or preserve them, or sin in attitude or action when our efforts to achieve or preserve them fail." (pg. 133)

"The kind of desiring that would provoke quarreling and fighting among the people of God is the kind of desiring that involves a deep love for the world and its things. It is therefore, spiritual adultery. Being bitter and angry when our personal goals are thwarted is "hatred toward God." It is choosing friendship with the world. It is choosing to be an enemy of God. (pg. 134)

"If you want to resolve conflict fruitfully in your marriage, then you will need to learn how to forgive your spouse the way Christ has forgiven you." (pg. 153)

"The real and difficult task in resolving our marital disputes biblically involves seeing through the many topics of dispute in order to deal with the issues of the hearts beneath." (pg. 163)

"Sexual union in marriage is worship. It celebrates our union to the Lord by serving and enjoying union with our spouse." (pg. 167)

"No human being needs sex so deeply that sin becomes necessary. It is a gift from God, not a need." (pg. 169)

"Fighting over money does not arise, firstly, from poor techniques with money or better ideas for using money. They arise from hearts using money based on sinful craving and fears. (pg. 188)

"Faithful giving in our lives begins by purposing in our hearts to give ..." (pg. 196)

"All our wants and expectations in marriage have to be examined carefully under the lens of Scripture." (pg. 209)

"Our expectations lead us to where we have placed our hope. Our hope will tell us where to put our expectation. Both of these belong firmly fixed on Christ. If your expectations and hopes are set on Him, then you will probably expect to sacrifice in marriage." (pg. 218)

"Jesus Christ provides the surest, sweetest, and most powerful resources to put your marriage on solid ground and help it grow. Namely, He provides Himself. And He provides Himself to us through His Spirit, His Word, and His Church." (pg. 228)

"The Word of God is the raw material His Spirit uses to bring hope, healing, and transformation to our souls." (pg. 230)

"The genuineness of our faith is proven and grown inside the furnace of daily life. Marriage often provides a great deal of heat and fuel for the furnace." (pg. 244)

"The deadliest feature to our sin is our blindness to its existence." (pg. 253)

"Whenever we humble ourselves before the Lord and His words, our hearts transform and bear fruit. The Spirit takes the raw material of God’s word and uses it to free and and grow our souls." (pg. 259)

"... whenever we humble ourselves before God’s people, our heart’s grow and bear fruit. The Spirit takes the raw material of Christian fellowship and uses it to expose, teach, and refine us." (pg. 260)

"We cannot bear His image well without living in fellowship to others." (pg. 263)

The History of PBPF

The Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation was incorporated in 1986 as a not-for-profit organization for the purpose of providing multimedia access to the writings, thoughts, and presence of Paul Brunton, his teachers, and his students.

Our first task was the publication of the material Paul Brunton reserved for posthumous publication; this material is presented in the sixteen-volume set The Notebooks of Paul Brunton.

Since completing this massive task, we have continued our publishing efforts with many smaller projects and additional authors.  At the same time we've turned our attention to developing a website with more useful and interactive content to aid individuals with their own spiritual research.

Timeline Milestones:

Please note: this timeline is hardly a measure of PB’s activities, nor those of Anthony Damiani; the dates listed here reflect the key moments that led up to the creation of the PBPF and its activities since its creation.

1943: Anthony Damiani meets Paul Brunton in New York and begins a lifelong relationship with him, eventually becoming his primary student in the 1960s.

1950s: Anthony and Ella May Damiani host Kenneth Hurst while he gets established in the publishing business.  Paul Brunton visits often with them during his visits to America.

1963: Anthony Damiani moves his family from NYC to Valois, New York to deepen his studies and open a spiritual bookstore.

1967: Steve Damiani with his father Anthony opens The American Brahman Bookstore in Ithaca, New York.  Read more here:

1968: Anthony Damiani begins classes at the American Brahman Bookstore; over 100 students gather there and start meeting at his home on Sundays.  The classes focus on Paul Brunton, Plotinus, Jung, Vedanta, and Astrology.

1969: Paul Brunton students from Columbus, Ohio USA meet Anthony Damiani at his home for the first time.

1970: The students of Anthony Damiani (now about 200 strong) offer to build a center in which classes and meditations can be held.  This is accomplished over the next two years, and Wisdom’s Goldenrod comes into existence.  Individual students begin visiting Paul Brunton in Europe around this time.  Anthony travels to Columbus, Ohio USA to meet with students studying PB.  Thereafter Anthony visits Columbus several times a year to give talks and meet with students.

1977: At Anthony Damiani’s request, PB agrees to visit America for a last time.  The purpose of this visit was to meet the Ohio PB study group (long affiliated with Wisdom’s Goldenrod), meet all of Anthony’s students at Wisdom’s Goldenrod, and consider the possibility of spending his final years in or near Wisdom’s Goldenrod.

1978: PB decides not to relocate to Wisdom’s Goldenrod, but does accept Anthony Damiani’s offer to have his students assist PB in his day-to-day activities.  The first assistant, Ed McKeown is dispatched at once.  He is followed by Robert Geyer, then Timothy and Devon Cottrell Smith, Micha-El (Dr. Alan Berkowitz), and finally Paul Cash.  Many others visit and assist for short periods of time—as do PB’s European students, notably Anna Bornstein, his Swedish translator.  (It should be noted that there were many other visitors, students, and helpers who spent time with PB that prefer to remain anonymous, or otherwise don’t figure in the history of the PBPF; the few individuals mentioned here are merely representative of a lifetime filled with such assistants and associates.)

1979: Sidney Piburn who traveled to Dharmsala, India to meet the Dalai Lama, invites him to come to the US.  The Dalai Lama tours the US for the first time and also visits the Wisdom’s Goldenrod Center for Philosophic Study and dedicates the newly built library.

1980: During Timothy and Devon Smith’s visit PB begins arranging his notes for posthumous publication.  As this project progresses, various students at Wisdom’s Goldenrod begin to assist in this massive task.

1981: Paul Brunton dies.  His unpublished writings are sent to Wisdom’s Goldenrod Center.  His son, Kenneth Hurst, is made the literary inheritor.  Paul Cash and Timothy Smith are made co-editors to oversee organizing the material for publication.  The whole of the Wisdom’s Goldenrod community, under the guidance of Anthony Damiani engages in the task of keyboarding PB’s notes from the so-called Idea Series of unpublished notebooks; these become the basis for the published set  The Notebooks of Paul Brunton.

1981-1984: Anthony Damiani and Kenneth Hurst agree to begin publishing PB’s works; a ‘sampler volume’ is planned; this becomes Perspectives, which introduces key points from all 28 topics in PB’s notebooks.  Robert Larson, the Swedish publisher of PB’s works establishes an American branch of his business; Paul Cash is engaged to run this business.  Robert Larson provides a substantial financial base to fund the project of creating Larson Publications and to cover the material expenses of entering some 50,000 pages of handwritten notes into a computer database (managed by Vic Mansfield).

1984: Larson Publications publishes Perspectives in July.  Work continues of publishing the Notebook Series.  Anthony Damiani dies in October, days after his final visit with His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

1986: Kenneth Hurst, Robert Larson, and the community of Wisdom’s Goldenrod join together to form the non-profit Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation.  Kenneth signs over the copyrights to the posthumous material; Robert Larson contributes Larson Publications and additional financial support; and the Wisdom’s Goldenrod community of Anthony Damiani’s students contribute many hours of sweat equity.  The original board members are Kenneth Hurst (Chairman), Micha-El (Dr. Alan Berkowitz), Paul Cash, Jeff Cox, Ella May Damiani, Harriet Eisman, Andrew Holmes, Robert Larson, Elaine Mansfield, Vic Mansfield, and Timothy Smith.  Many others, too numerous to mention, have given invaluable volunteer support.  Their help is deeply appreciated.  By now the publication of the Notebooks series is in full swing, with several volumes coming out each year.

1988:  The publication of The Notebooks of Paul Brunton is completed; it takes 16 full volumes to house the paras from all 28 of PB’s original categories.  A full set is presented to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and to His Holiness Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi MahaSwamiji, the 68th Shankaracarya, whom PB first describes in A Search in Secret India.

1995: Three titles of Anthony Damiani's writings were developed by students at Wisdom’s Goldenrod  and published by PBPF / Larson: Looking into Mind, Living Wisdom, and Standing in Your Own Way.  Then the first 'small book; of PB's writings, an abridgement of specific sections of the Notebooks of Paul Brunton focusing on specific issues, was developed.  The title is self-explanatory: Meditations for People in Charge: A Handbook for Men and Women Whose Decisions Affect the World.  In February of the following year the website was launched, and the second small book, Meditations for People in Crisis, was published.

2007:  Larson Publications (owner and operator, Paul R. Cash), which had been part of the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation becomes an independent entity.  A new edition of A Search in Secret Egypt, edited by Timothy J. Smith and Kira Lallas, is published.  The editors also conduct a series of workshops titled Paul Brunton and The Myth of Osiris (available on DVD) that provide a provocative exploration of A Search in Secret Egypt with a focus on the Osiris myth as a symbol of the ego’s true death and the awakening of the soul.

2010: The website started as a response to PB's words, "The duty to which we are called is not to propagate ideas but to offer them..."  This internet service is a "window" through which questers who are not familiar with English can discover PB's wonderful teachings in their own language.  Every day of the year there is a new inspiring note posted, at present in 16 languages, selected from The Notebooks of Paul Brunton.  You are welcome to visit the site daily!

Present: Several new books are in the works, and this upgraded website is finally live!

Bitcoin Mining

The process through which bitcoin operates is something that often baffles many people. Most people ask questions such as how does it come into existence? Nonetheless, the answer to such questions is vivid. Bitcoins have to go through a mining process in order to operate in the Bitcoin market. One thing however that is clear about Bitcoin is the mysterious status of its founder, Saitoshi Nakamoto. The founder envisaged a method through which people could exchange the cryptocurrency online without necessarily revealing their identity and without the involvement of any regulatory body such as banks and other forms of financial institutions.

Bitcoin works in a very unique way and you can use FX Trade 777. There’s a way in which the transactions record history is kept for the whole circulation. However, there is no centralized point through which this is done. The ledger which the entire process runs through is known as the “blockchain”. Blockchain expands almost every minute depending on the number of bitcoins being mined. Mining facilitates the creation of new bitcoins as well as consolidating transactions to the ledger. It is estimated that every ten minutes transactions are mined into one block. This, therefore, brings about the question of legitimacy in that any inconsistency detected by the system is automatically ruled out.

Mining in bitcoin is not used in the conventional sense of the term. Bitcoins are mined by the use of cryptography. But the question that people often ask is, how easy or difficult is it to mine bitcoins? This can be a challenging question because it will depend on who is asking. Nonetheless, bitcoin mining generally depends on the computing power and efforts being applied in the mining process. The other important thing about the mining process that is worth mentioning is the software protocol. For every 2016 blocks, the complexity involved in mining bitcoins is changed for the purpose of maintaining that protocol. The difficulty level changes itself either downwards or upwards in a directly proportionate manner.

Altcoins is a situation where there exist individual communities and economies Namecoin, Peercoin or Altcoins. These are optional bitcoins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Most people often do not understand this part and in most cases seem to only associate with bitcoin. That is probably why they do not have a big following such as that of bitcoin. They might be referred to as second grade of bitcoin although that might not be the most appropriate term to use. The popularity of bitcoin has grown over the years and most countries have taken embraced the Trades Prime idea.

Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s)

Initial Coin Offerings have also gained popularity in the recent years. It is a system in through which investors buy bitcoins with the hope that it would increase its value in the near future. ICO’s are more like Initial public offers (IPO’s) where companies dispose of a certain percentage of their ownership to the public in order to raise money for a particular project. However, … Read More

Curriculum Statement 2017/18

At Pebworth First School we offer a broad and balanced curriculum which builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills of all children, whatever their starting points, as they progress through each Key Stage. Our curriculum incorporates the statutory requirements of the new National Curriculum 2014 and other experiences and opportunities which best meet the learning and developmental needs of the pupils in our school and in our small community. The aim of our curriculum is for pupils to have the requisite skills to be successful, independent and motivated learners in readiness for their next stage of education.

Pupils are still working on the Early Learning Goals of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum as they enter Year 1. There is a period in the Autumn Term where the majority of children progress to the National Curriculum. Throughout this period and beyond all children are still developing their phonic knowledge through the Letters and Sounds Programme and developing their fluency in reading through the Daily Supported Reading Programme. We use letters and sounds for phonics as a guide but also use Phonic Bug and Read Write Inc too. Class one and two use Read Write Inc. for guided reading and we use Bug Club and Oxford Reading Tree for reading.

The National Curriculum is delivered using a variety of schemes and we ensure coverage and progression throughout the school. Regular teacher assessments inform half termly progress and attainment checks for all year groups based on statements from the National Curriculum to ensure pupils are making good or better progress and can be supported to achieve faster progress if they are falling behind. The more able pupils are challenged further in their learning and children who find aspects of their learning more difficult are appropriately supported so that they too are enabled to experience success. National requirements and school requirements are mapped out and then individual class teachers plan the curriculum for their pupils accordingly. The curriculum is underpinned by the school’s core values: working together, aiming high, care, respect and resilience and these are taught on their own and through other areas of the curriculum, including assemblies. The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils and their understanding of the core values of our society are woven through the curriculum.

Specialist teachers from our federation partner, Blackminster Middle School, deliver high quality physical education. Masterclasses in science are delivered in specialist science laboratories at Blackminster to provide the ‘wow’ factor in science. This compliments the science program in school. Pupils can also can the Food technology facilities at Blackminster, as well as preparing food at Pebworth. In addition, our Forest School gives opportunities to add breadth and depth to learning in an outdoor environment. Music is key strength in the school and all children are encouraged to play and instrument and perform individually and in ensemble. Art also features prominently in the curriculum; children have the opportunity to work regularly with an expert using a variety of media.

All subject leaders are given training and opportunity to keep developing their own subject knowledge, skills and understanding so they can support curriculum development and their colleagues throughout the school. Theme weeks, whole school activities and opportunities within and outside school all enrich and develop the children’s learning. After school clubs and events extend these opportunities further.

Outdoor learning gives children many opportunities to develop skills outside the classroom. Children are involved in environmental projects and in growing food in the garden areas. Children prepare the produce they have grown and cook and serve meals for the community. Additional whole school programmes and approaches support quality teaching and learning and the school is well resourced in terms of learning materials, books and technology.

Pupils have opportunities to share their learning with each other, their parents and carers and other learners through school-based and external exhibitions, performances, competitions and events involving other schools. Developing their independence and motivation as learners and their sense of responsibility as future citizens is at the heart of all our teaching and learning.

We'll see more clearly

Australia will once again drive with the lights on.

The Statistician has reversed a decision to hobble the employment figures that has made it hard to tell what's real as Australia enters recession.

In July last year in the lead-up to the downturn the Bureau of Statistics cut the size of its monthly employment survey from around 54,400 people to 41,100. In Victoria the sample was cut from 1,500 people to 8,700.

The resulting figures were derided by market economists as "a waste of space, and "like believing in the tooth fairy"...

"Given the uncertain effects of the crazy cost-cutting shift to a new one-quarter-smaller survey-sample size, the data now are a waste of space for economy-watching purposes," wrote Macquarie economist Rory Robertson at the time.

"Anyone who believes that full-time jobs actually rose by 53,700 and that part-time jobs actually fell by 42,800 in July probably also believes in the tooth fairy," added CommSec economist Craig James.

Even more recently with the changes bedded down the monthly movements have raised eyebrows. This year's April figures released on the eve of the Budget had the number of Australians in jobs climbing 27,300.

In a warning attached to the figures the Bureau said it could only be 95 per cent confident that the true movement was somewhere between a drop of 33,300 and an increase of 87,900.

The Statistician Brian Pink announced yesterday that a result of winning an extra 15 million per annum in the federal Budget the employment survey would be restored to its former size from December.

Also restored from November will be the Bureau's quarterly job vacancies survey, which until it was suspended last May was regarded as more reliable than the private surveys which counted only jobs advertised.

That survey suggested that in in May 2008 there were 3 Victorians unemployed for each vacant Victorian job compared to a national average of 2.6. Since then there have been no statistics available with which to make the calculation.

In an associated cutback last year the Bureau wound back the accuracy of its retail spending survey, only to restore it in November ahead of the December "cash splash".

Amid concern that Australia was weakening its ability to read economic signals at the time they were needed the Department of Finance and the Treasury reviewed the Bureau's base funding in the lead-up to the Budget and recommended an increase.

But some cuts will remain. The Bureau's Statistical Yearbook will be issued only every two years, and the 2011 census will use unchanged questions from those asked in 2006, when a poorly-worded question about volunteering was added at the insistence of the previous Treasurer Peter

Pet Or Servant?

Do you efur wonder what to call the bi-peds in your life?

Au, the Senior Cat in our house, is furry old-fashioned. He calls for De Survunt and De Male.

Most of the time he gets exactly what he meows for but I don’t think he’s got it Quite Right.

There are times when he demands treats and doesn’t get them, and there was this one time when they boxed him up and took him to the vet despite his cries of, “Put me down, you bad survunt you! i will show you de klaw!”

My pal Target calls them Mummy Cat and T-man. This is typical of the Fur Brain! T-man purrs at night but they don’t have fur, can’t jump 10 times their own height, or do any of the simple things we cats do.

I’ve had a Good Think about this and I have Come To A Conclusion: they feed us and do all the little things cats can’t be bothered to do for themselves like wash the floor and tidy the sofa. But the main thing is that they give us Love and Cuddles.

Clearly they are Pets!

As proof, here’s a picture of my Pet T-man tickling me…

Eeeeek!  That tickles!

Guido Tickle Tummy

See you next week!

Ellen Whyte

Ellen Whyte was born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Since then she's lived in Scotland, Spain, Indonesia and Malaysia. She read psychology at Stirling University but that hasn't helped her gain the upper hand in her dealings with her cat companions. She began writing fulltime about 15 years ago and considers herself extremely lucky to be able to make a career out of a hobby.

How to convince my dad to let me have a German Shepherd Dog?

Hi so I've been wanting a German Shepherd for a while. I found an ad in the local paper the had German Shepherd pups for sale for 1500$. I have the money and am very responsible. After about 6 years of begging my parents finally let me purchase a chihuahua and I've been taking great care of her. I also get straight As in school. I showed my mom the ad and talked to her about and she agreed to get a puppy. The only issue is my family already has eight dogs and my dad said no way we have too many dogs. Two of them are old and probably won't hang on much more then a couple years. Another is getting slow and one is a chihuahua and one is my moms dog. One has had four homes so we have too keep her. The other two one is my sisters and one is my dad's fave. So only one of the dogs is really mine, the chihuahua. My family is very active and I was going to teach the German Shepherd to skijor and dog mush. So the only thing standing in my way is my dad. Do any of you have any ideas that would convince him a German Shepherd is a good idea? Please don't say wait until you move out and then get your own dog or anything like that. Thanks in advance!

OSG pushing for demolition of Torre de Manila

By Perfecto T. Raymundo

MANILA, Sept. 22 (PNA) — The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) is pushing for the demolition of Torre de Manila, the so-called “National Photobomber” of Rizal Monument in Luneta Park, Manila.

In a 46-page memorandum, signed by Solicitor General Florin Hilbay, representing the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the National Museum, the OSG asked the Supreme Court (SC) to order DMCI Homes to demolish the high-rise condominium for it was built in bad faith.

“Wherefore, premises, considered, it is respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court to: ….Order respondent DMCI to demolish Torre De Manila, at its own expense, or to Issue a Writ of Mandamus to respondent City of Manila to cause the demolition of the Torre de Manila, at DMCI’s expense,” the memorandum said.

Likewise, the OSG also asked the SC to “issue a writ of continuing mandamus to respondents NHCP (National Historical Commission of the Philippines) and NCCA to (a) oversee the demolition of the Torre de Manila; (b) prescribe for the conservation and preservation of the Rizal Monument in coordination with the National Museum; and (c) submit quarterly reports on the progress of the execution of the Honorable Court’s judgment in this case.”

Hilbay said that the SC must also protect the sightline of the Rizal Monument since Rizal Park is legally protected.

The OSG argued that Torre de Manila was an illegal construction when the zoning and building permits of DMCI were issued in violation of the law, particularly Manila Ordinance No. 8119.

Section 63 of the Manila Zoning Ordinance provides that in cases of variances and exceptions, land developers shall secure zoning permit from the Sangguniang Panglungsod as per recommendation from the Manila Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals (MZBAA), through the Committee on Housing, Urban Development and Resettlement prior to any construction.

The SC itself noticed that the “variance” for the approval of the building was only in 2014 instead of 2012 when the construction started.

SC Associate Justice Marvic F. Leonen noted that on June 19, 2012, there was no resolution from the Manila City Council that approved the variance.

“In November 2012 there was no variance approval. When DMCI was building the building, there was no approved variance. And only in 2014, when the variance was approved,” he said. (PNA)

Piccadilly Market: Reindeer Cookie Teacher Gifts

Reindeer Cookie Teacher Gifts

Who remembers this blog post a few months ago of one of my very fave bakers, Bakerella? Earlier this year I saw this post and totally swooned and tucked the idea in the back of my very busy brain till the end of year. I was strolling through Coles when I saw Christmas M&M's and jumped for joy (I really did )so this is what Peg and I made for teacher gifts this year.

Here is the production line....childcare, kinder and school.

Here are the cute little labels I designed. All you need is a scalloped circle cutter and away you go.

Hope they think they are as cute as I do.....has anyone out there made any creative teacher gifts this year?

Piccadilly Market: The Fabulous Myer Giftorium

Friday, October 24, 2014

The Fabulous Myer Giftorium

Part of the wonderful life of a blogger is getting invited to fab events and this one was an extra special one.

I LOVE Christmas, always have, always will and am enjoying passing my joy and excitement on to my kids.

When the invite turned up for a Secret Myer Christmas Event I was in. I took my girls out of school for the day for all sorts of Mummy/Daughter Shenanigans.

From the moment we arrived on the 6th floor of Bourke Street Myer we were whisked into Christmas land. There were magical elves, roving entertainers, face painters, magic shows, christmas carols and more.

Yep free popcorn and wizz fizz's

Love a good photo bomb

I really do love seeing the look of awe on childrens faces and my 2 girls had that look.

'Giftorium is a unique concept in Australian retailing and was developed to bring back fun and theatre to Christmas shopping. At the heart of Giftorium is the desire to provide a totally unique set of services and create a new level of engagement with Myer customers shopping for Christmas gifts, decorations and festive food ideas. '

Digging the jellybean wall

There is a frozen cave to climb into and have some time out if required.

There are activities to keep young ones happy and busy

Incredibly talented face painter (artist), this Mama bear got in on the act too.

We really enjoyed the Giftologists (gift giving experts) who were on hand and happy to help you with your gift buying.

Great for kids to go off with some money in their pocket to buy gifts for siblings, friends and parents.

Myer will also be bringing the magic of Christmas to its website with a dedicated Giftorium
microsite to guide customers through the product offering and services including: Giftician
appointments (select stores), book a time to meet Santa (all downtown stores), Same Day Elf
Delivery service to anyone within a 2km radius (Melb, Syd, Bris and Perth), and the Gift Finder. I so wish I could get a gift delivered by an elf.

In select stores around the country, there will be demonstrations by major brands including Marvin’s
Magic, SodaStream, Mr Men and Little Miss, Plumm wine glasses, Dilmah Teas and Vista Print.

The Mr Men/Little Miss stand are doing personalised prints. LOVE LOVE this idea and think its an amazing present for young and old. Look at mine...squeal!!!

We were lucky enough to be able to take home a soda stream (how happy are we?) but even better you get to customise your own colours. We went red/yellow/red. Another awesome gift idea.

Sooooooo many amazing decorations in loads of colour themes. It is like being a kid in a candy store.

We had to follow up with some racing season hats and fascinator try ons. My girls could get used to skipping school.

Christmas Giftorium
 officially opens on the 8th November with lots of opening weekend fanfare.

So when you head up for the Myer Christmas windows make sure you visit the 6th floor Giftorium as well.

Predictions for 2012: Garage Rocketeers Approach Orbit

Posted in Science on 3rd Jan, 2012 07:28 PM by APM

in 2012, two large, well-funded companies, Virgin Galactic and SpaceX, will begin making regular journeys to suborbital and orbital space, commencing the post-NASA era of commercial space travel. But those companies will not be alone in their efforts. In 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration changed its regulations to allow amateur rocketeers to launch their craft as high as 93 miles, and now, as composite materials and electronic tracking systems become increasingly affordable, small companies and even garage inventors are taking flight.

Last June, Danish engineers at a micro aerospace nonprofit called Copenhagen Suborbitals launched a 1,440-pound rocket from a platform in the Baltic Sea to a height of more than two miles, all on a budget of just $100,000. By design, the rocket fell far short of the Earth-space boundary, but the engineers will attempt a more ambitious launch this summer. If all goes well, their rockets will reach an altitude of 35 miles. Eventually, the capsule could carry a human passenger to space.

Also in 2012, several teams will compete for the Carmack 100kft Micro Prize, established last year by John Carmack, one of the creators of the computer game Doom. The first to launch a rocket to an altitude above 100,000 feet (19 miles, or just into the stratosphere) will win $10,000. In September, Derek Deville, a Florida engineer, sent a 320-pound rocket to a height of 121,000 feet in just 92 seconds, but the rocket failed to record required GPS data, so Deville didn’t take the prize. Another team, in New Zealand, launched its own garage rocket in December, and two more groups claim to have rockets ready for flight. By January, the prize may already be claimed, and the do-it-yourself space program will have liftoff.

Atlanta Symphony Extends Contracts of Spano and Runnicles

Classic Arts News   Atlanta Symphony Extends Contracts of Spano and Runnicles
Atlanta Symphony music director Robert Spano and principal guest conductor Donald Runnicles have agreed to extend their contracts through the 2008-09 season, the ASO announced.

The two conductors were named to their positions in February 2000 and began their tenures in September 2001. In 2002, their contracts were extended through the 2006-07 season.

Spano will continue to lead 14 weeks per year; Runnicles will conduct six week per year.

Over the last four years, said ASO president Allison Vulgamore, "the Atlanta Symphony, through Robert and Donald, has created a virtual school of living composers [and] experimental concert presentation environments, and recorded distinctive multi-disc releases annually. It's an exciting, innovative, and important contribution to the world of music."

Since Spano and Runnicles arrived, the ASO has released eight CDs—in a time when most American orchestras are recording rarely, if ever—and has won five Grammy Awards. The orchestra has performed and recorded new music by important young composers such as Jennifer Higdon and Osvaldo Golijov; this season, the ASO travels to Lincoln Center to participate in a Golijov festival.

It seems likely that this extension will be Spano's last in Atlanta, if only because he will be offered a position at a top-tier American orchestra before long.

"I am honored to continue the work we have begun together," Spano said in a statement. "I love the collaborative spirit that exists with the orchestra, chorus, and the entire organization and I look forward to our future with great anticipation."

Donald Runnicles said, "The partnership that I share with Robert, Allison, and the Atlanta Symphony is extremely gratifying and I am happy and excited that our work together will continue."

Spano was the head of the Conducting Fellowship Program at the Juilliard School from 1998 to 2002, and music director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic from 1996-2004. Runnicles has been music director of San Francisco Opera since 1992; he is also principal conductor of New York's Orchestra of St. Luke's and was recently named music director of the Grand Teton Music Festival.

Kelly Rowland Brings Her ” Lights Out Tour” to Rams Head Live

Baltimore, MD–

The “Kisses Down Low” songstress appeared on the Baltimore Rams Head Stage wearing a rhinestone studded black bustier and a pair of denim shorts ripped in all the right places.  While walking through a haze of smoke Kelly performed the song “Ice” from her new album “Talk A Good Game”.

Kelly continued the concert and performed the much talked about single “Dirty Laundry” No tears for this performance of “Dirty Laundry”.  Kelly was able to get through the entire performance of her new single without an emotional breakdown.  The Rowland Stones fans were there to encourage Kelly to be proud of her breakthrough and telling her truth with open honesty.  Prior to performing “Dirty Laundry” Kelly told the Baltimore crowd that she did not care how anyone felt about the lyrics to her song, as this was her truth no matter what anyone else thought.

Kelly was very brave to reveal her painful, abusive relationship to the world through her new song “Dirty Laundry”. This song revealed Kelly inner feelings and the pain she felt dealing with a man who actually put his hands on her. In the end Kelly told her truth and she stands strong today as a survivor of her past tumultuous relationship.

Kelly performed various songs old and new the likes of “Neva End”, “Dilemma”, “Street Life”, and “This Is Love”. The concert came to a seductive slow dance as Kelly sang her hit song “Motivation”.
