Devarim, 31:19: “And now write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the Children of Israel, place it in their mouth, so that this song will be for Me a witness for the Children of Israel.”

God instructs each person to write their own Torah scroll (Sefer Torah) but when He describes the Torah, He calls it a Shirah (song). Why is the Torah called a song? Rabbi Yitzchak Herzog1 gives a novel explanation: In virtually all fields of study, a person who is uninitiated in that discipline does not derive any pleasure from hearing a theory or an insight concerning that field of study. For example, a physicist will derive great pleasure from hearing a novel interpretation or insight in the field of physics, since it is his field of expertise. However, someone who has no significant knowledge of physics will be totally unmoved by the very same insight. This concept applies to many other fields.

However, an exception to this concept is found in music for music can be appreciated on many levels. As Rabbi Yissachar Frand explains: “When Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is played – regardless of whether one is a concertmaster or a plain simple person – there is something one can get out of it. Music is something that everyone on his or her own level can enjoy. Everyone can relate to music.”

Rabbi Herzog says that this is why the Torah is called “Shirah”: Everyone on his level can appreciate the Torah. On the one hand, a great Torah Scholar can learn the opening verse in the Torah, “Bereishit Barah Elokim (In the beginning God created) …” and see great wisdom therein. Indeed, one of the greatest scholars of all time, the Vilna Gaon only learnt Chumash at the end of his life, because he could use his vast knowledge of the Oral Torah and Mysticism and see it all in the exalted words of the Torah. Yet, on the other hand, one can be a five-year-old child, just beginning to read, and learn the very same words, “Bereishit Barah Elokim…” and also gain something from it. Every person, on his own level can have an appreciation for Torah. Therefore, the verse aptly refers to Torah when it says “And now, write for yourselves this ‘song’…”

However, it seems an additional point needs to be made with regard to the idea that any person on any level can relate to the Torah. Returning to the analogy of music, even though it is true that a simple person can enjoy Beethoven’s Fifth symphony, it is also true that a concertmaster will appreciate it on a far higher and more sophisticated level, noting the numerous details that make it such an admired piece of music.

The same applies to the Torah: A child can enjoy learning “Bereishit Barah Elokim” but a more mature person can appreciate it far more, and a Torah scholar can appreciate it on a whole different level. As a person grows up, he is responsible to develop his understanding of the Torah as his comprehension and knowledge increase. This idea should apply to all facets of Torah, such as Gemara, Chumash, Jewish thought and so on. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that a person who grows exponentially in his approach to Gemara learning, does not make anything like the same progress in the realm of Chumash and Jewish thought. A person can be learning Gemara in depth with all the complex commentators, yet he does not advance at all from the understanding of Chumash that he developed as a young child in school2.

One may ask what is so bad about a mature adult having an immature approach to Chumash? On a most basic level, our obligation to know Torah applies to all facets of Torah, and the Chumash itself is the ultimate source of God’s wisdom. Therefore, in order to fulfil one’s obligation to know Torah, he must develop as deep an understanding of the Chumash as possible. On a more practical level, the Torah itself is the source of the correct approach to every aspect of life. Learning works about Jewish thought and growth is tremendous, but they all derive back from the Written Torah with Its explanations in the Oral Torah. The deeper an understanding one has of Torah the more it will dominate his outlook and infiltrate into every aspect of his life. The following story provides one small example of how Gedolim learnt vital life lessons that they derived from contemplation of the Torah.

After Abraham fails to persuade God to not wipe out Sodom, the Torah makes a seemingly superfluous comment. “HaShem departed when He had finished speaking to Abraham, and Avraham returned to his place.”3 What is the significance of the fact that Abraham returned to his place?

The Steipler Gaon, Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky addressed this question in making a vital point to Rabbi Elazar Shach. On one occasion the Mo’etzes Gedolei HaTorah4 made a certain decision in opposition to the views of Rabbi Shach and the Steipler. The matter was of such importance to Rabbi Shach that he felt a great sense of despair and his spirits were broken. Rabbi Shlomo Lorincz writes that soon after this incident he visited the Steipler who asked him how Rabbi Shach was faring. He answered that Rabbi Shach was thoroughly dejected and did not know which way to turn. So great was his disappointment that he said he had no more strength to continue.

The Steipler listened to this sadly and said, “I would like you to go to Rabbi Shach for me and tell him the following.” The Steipler proceeded to ask the aforementioned question as to the significance of the fact that “Abraham returned to his place.” He answered with the following words. “What this means is that the Torah wants to teach us – tell Rabbi Shach this – that when one has done everything in order to save a situation and the goal has not been achieved one must implement, ‘And Abraham returned to his place’. One has to go back and resume the activity that one is obligated to engage in, continuing as though nothing untoward has happened. Under no circumstances whatsoever does lack of success justify a person giving way and being unable to carry on his holy work. Repeat this, word for word, on my behalf. He has done everything without missing a single detail, therefore he must also fulfill, ‘And Avraham returned to his place,’ and continue leading the Jewish people as before.”

Rabbi Lorincz reports that when he conveyed this message to Rabbi Shach, Rabbi Shach replied that he accepted this lesson and would return to his work on behalf of the Jewish people.5

The Steipler obviously had a highly thought out and well-developed understanding of the Torah. This enabled him to apply the Torah’s lessons to his life. A person who has a deep understanding of Torah can strive to do this on his own level, and then he can more greatly appreciate the ‘Song’ of the Torah.

problem solving & pencilphobia

Not so many designers draw now. The benefits of drawing as a language, a process, a means of working through problems are widely overlooked. The idea that drawing is for making pictures inhibits creativity.

From primary school on, drawing is seen as something you either can or cannot do and is permanently welded to a sterile idea of ‘picture-making’. Observational, note-taking and thought-processing drawing has no place and the innate perception and creativity common to most young children (I have seen primary school sketchbooks to shame some illustration degree students) is rarely understood / encouraged. Where creativity survives education, degree teaching’s first task is to remove a decade and a half’s conditioning. Inhibition sees students of design timidly sketching an idea in 4H pencil, more concerned with what onlookers might think than than generating more ideas.

Problem-solving in design or any activity—engineering, physics, business… requires that you envisage many solutions and evaluate them. It is not easy to get one’s mind into the zone, but then thoughts come thick & fast. Writing is too slow, memory is subjective, editing ideas inside your head can’t be trusted and (at the time of writing at least) there is no app for brain-archiving. Drawing can be realtime thought-capture; a record of fleeting observations and head-clearing ideas—good, bad, indifferent—for later objective review. If you can shake off self-consciousness anyone can use drawing to help solve problems.

Drawing ability does not make you creative—some of the best design thinkers I have worked with are pencil-phobic: Terence Griffin (Sedley Place / Wolff Olins) used them only to tackle The Times crossword; my first job involved visualising for Michael Wolff who employed thought, provocation and charm—to win D&AD pencils (ironically). Good draughtsmanship in the more obvious way is of course very helpful in resolving visual / spacial design details—but skill is irrelevant to drawing for problem-solving.

We are all keyboard / glass jockeys now and design education is again under siege from Micky Gove & mates. Drawing and handwriting will be among the lost arts of the twenty-first century. But futile though it might seem: next time you have a problem don’t just try to solve it quickly in your head—get a pencil (better still a pen) and try drawing out your thoughts…

Who Pays Palestinian Rock-Throwers?

avatar by Stephen M. Flatow /

Palestinians throw rocks from behind an ambulance during a riot in Qalandiya. (Illustrative) Photo: IDF. – Two Israelis who happened to be driving through a Palestinian town were nearly murdered by a group of teenagers last week. Meanwhile, in eastern Michigan, another group of teenagers succeeded in murdering a driver who happened to be passing by.

Though separated by 6,000 miles, the attackers had one thing in common: their choice of weapon. They both used rocks.

The Israeli victims were two women — elderly, if one may judge by the photos — who were visiting the Palestinian Authority town of Azzun. They were members of an extreme left-wing group called “Machsom (Security Checkpoint) Watch.” They contend that the checkpoints where Palestinians are checked for bombs and guns before entering Israel constitute “the denial of Palestinians’ rights to move freely in their land.”

I don’t have much sympathy for Machsom Watch. After Palestinian terrorists butchered five Israelis — including three small children — in Itamar in 2011, Machsom Watch activists, including the organization’s spokesperson, Raya Aaron, visited the Arab village of Awarta to comfort the relatives of the killers. That says a lot about where Machsom Watch’s sympathies lie.

Related coverage

Arab-Israeli Politicians Against Peace - An overwhelming majority of Israeli parliamentarians, including those in the opposition, voted on Thursday to ratify the US-brokered...

But of course, I have the utmost sympathy for any innocent person who finds herself under siege by a murderous mob. According to the Israeli website News 0404, while the two Machsom Watch women were visiting in Azzun, a resident ripped a gold bracelet from one woman’s arm and ran off. The women jumped in their car and pursued the thief to an adjacent village.

“At that point,” News 0404 reported, “local Arabs began to attack the women’s vehicle with cinder blocks and stones, until Israeli army forces were rushed over and the women were miraculously rescued from a lynching.”

Machsom Watch, like other groups on the Jewish far left, never shows much interest in the problem of Palestinian Arab rock-throwing. So I suppose that the two women must have had quite a rude awakening. Sitting terrified in their automobile, surrounded by a bloodthirsty mob trying to murder them, they must have finally realized that rocks can be deadly.

A few weeks earlier, 6,000 miles from Azzun, another group of rock-throwers was busy. Five young men, ages 15-17, decided to hurl rocks from a highway overpass near Flint, Michigan. Kenneth White, 32, was a passenger in a van that had the misfortune of passing by. One of the rocks smashed through the windshield, and struck White in the head, killing him.

The Michigan prosecutor isn’t treating rock-throwing as if it’s child’s play. The five assailants are being tried as adults, not juveniles. They’re being charged with second-degree murder, not vandalism or mischief.

The tragic murder of White is all too familiar to the citizens of Israel. At least 13 Israeli Jews, and two Arabs mistaken for Jews, have been murdered by Palestinian rock-throwers since the 1980s. Many more have been maimed, some permanently.

But for all the similarities between Palestinian rock-throwers and the Michigan rock-throwers, there’s one very important difference. If the Michigan teenagers are convicted, they will not be rewarded by the US government in any way. American taxpayers would never stand for it.

Yet American taxpayers’ money is being used to reward Palestinian rock-throwers.

The US gave the Palestinian Authority (PA) $357 million last year. Here’s how part of that American money is being spent, according to a detailed study by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs: A Palestinian rock-terrorist who is sentenced to up to three years in prison is rewarded with a monthly salary of $400 from the PA, while he is behind bars. The reward increases according to the length of the sentence. A rock-thrower who kills a Jew, and therefore is sentenced to 30 or more years in prison, receives a monthly salary of $3,400 from the PA.

There are additional rewards after the rock-terrorist is released. If he served one to three years, he is rewarded with an additional grant from the PA of $1,500. Once again, the reward increases according to time served. A rock-thrower who murdered someone, served 30 years, and then is released in a prisoner exchange receives a grant of $25,000.

Don’t forget about their relatives. The parents and siblings of an unmarried rock-thrower who is killed (while trying to stone Jews to death) receive $100 monthly. The widow of a dead rock-thrower receives $250 each month, for life. All of this is amply covered by that big annual check from the US Treasury.

Isn’t there a better way that American taxpayer money can be spent?

Stephen M. Flatow, a vice president of the Religious Zionists of America, is an attorney in New Jersey and the father of Alisa Flatow, who was murdered in an Iranian-sponsored Palestinian terrorist attack in 1995.

Mali’s Keita vows to keep fighting ‘terrorist groups’

Ibrahim Boubacar Keita praises the role of French troops in West African country beset by violence and ethnic strife.

Mali will keep fighting “terrorist groups” in the country until they engage in serious peace talks, the country’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has said.

Despite continued French troop deployments, a UN peacekeeping mission comprising 11,000 soldiers and years of peace talks, Mali remains beset by political unrest and ethnic strife.

Keita told Al Jazeera’s Bila Hudood (Without Limits) programme that he will keep fighting as these groups are still not serious about stopping their attacks.

However, he said he is willing to extend the hand of friendship in an effort to have peace and prosperity for his people.

“While we are trying to have peace talks with them, they conduct these attacks against us,” said Keita.

UN troops use locals in Mali peacekeeping mission

Keita, Mali’s president since 2013, has indicated he would be running for a second term in 2018.

In April 2012, the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (NMLA), a nomadic armed group, seized control of an area larger than the size of France before being toppled by al-Qaeda-linked groups who imposed a strict interpretation of Islamic law on the local population.

In January the following year France launched a military intervention in its former West African colony to stop the fighters’ southward offensive.

Keita said while there are no US troops in his country, his government is cooperating with the US military and sharing intelligence.

“The Malian military and the Americans are conducting joint drills every now and then and we have military officials in countries that are considered to be part of the Eastern camp,” he said.

Keita also denied claims that French troops were killing innocent civilians and praised France as a “friend of Mali”.

“The terrorists are the ones killing the innocent people on a daily basis, not the French forces,” he said.

While saying billions had been invested in development projects in the north of the country, Keita said his government is waging a war against corruption and bribery as well.

Stimulus hopes see US stocks finish the week on a high note

Investors are still hopeful the White House and Congress can reach a deal on more coronavirus aid.

After a week of stimulus-induced volatility, United States stocks closed out the week firmly on the plus side [File: Mike Segar/Reuters]
After a week of stimulus-induced volatility, United States stocks closed out the week firmly on the plus side [File: Mike Segar/Reuters]

Wall Street’s main stock indexes finished the trading week on a high note, with the Dow and S&P 500 posting their second straight weekly gain as investors cling to hope that a new round of coronavirus relief aid can be agreed upon between the White House and Congress.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the session up 161.39 points or just over half a percentage point, at 28,586.90.

The S&P 500 – a gauge for the health of US retirement and college savings reports – finished up 0.88 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index closed 1.39 percent to the plus side.

Stocks got a boost earlier in the session after United States President Donald Trump tweeted: “Covid Relief Negotiations are moving along. Go Big!”

Investor spirits were also lifted after the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the negotiations, reported that the White House is preparing a $1.8 trillion stimulus proposal.

Later, during an interview, Trump said he would like to see a “bigger stimulus package, frankly, than either the Democrats or Republicans are offering.”

Talks between US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin – the White House’s point person on stimulus negotiations – and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed to yield fruit on Friday, but Pelosi’s camp confirmed they will continue.

Wall Street has been gripped by volatility in the wake of on-again, off-again talks in Washington on a new round of coronavirus virus relief aid for struggling US businesses and households.

US stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after Trump said he had called off negotiations with Democrats in Congress until after the November 3 elections.

But the stock markets bounced back the following day after Trump urged Congress to immediately pass targeted aid for airlines and small businesses, and a new round of $1,200 stimulus checks for individuals.

Meanwhile, investors are also positioning portfolios for a possible win by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on November 3.

Biden has gained a substantial lead over Trump in recent polls.

A new Reuters news agency/Ipsos poll found Americans are losing confidence in Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis.

And while investors ponder what a Biden and Democratic win would mean for a big stimulus package, others are wary about a Democrat pledge to hike corporate tax rates.

Data on Thursday showed the US labour market recovery is struggling and losing momentum. The number of jobless claims in the US came in 20,000 higher than economists expected at 840,000, according to the Labor Department.

Concerns are also growing over the return of lockdowns and restrictions. The World Health Organization on Thursday reported a record one-day jump in global COVID-19 cases.

Another round of lockdowns will cause severe if irreversible pain for the US retail market.

“Retail property was in trouble before the virus, with many locations seeing values under pressure well in advance. Lockdowns provided a further severe jolt, with widespread closures and consumers adapting by shifting to online channels,” Andrew Burrell, chief property economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a Friday note.

Shares of Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines all finished higher hopes of more stimulus for the industry.

Airline CEOs continue to warn that additional layoffs are coming unless the government provides more help immediately.

Lebanon's coronavirus cases spiralling 'beyond expectations'

Lebanon's coronavirus cases spiralling 'beyond expectations'
Lebanon's coronavirus cases spiralling 'beyond expectations'

Thank you for your reading and interest in the news Lebanon's coronavirus cases spiralling 'beyond expectations' and now with details

Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - The increase in the number of coronavirus cases after last month's explosion in crisis-hit Lebanon surpassed expectations, according to the doctor helping to leading the country’s response to the pandemic.

Lebanon confirmed a record number of cases on Friday and Saturday as infections swelled to more than 750 each day.

Social distancing and hygiene precautions were far from people’s minds as hundreds of thousands poured into the streets, hospitals and homes of friends and families after the August 4 explosion that levelled parts of Beirut.

New cases had not previously passed 220 a day but a new wave of infections quickly followed the blast.

“The increase in the number of new cases was expected, albeit not at this rate. But the sharp rise in the number of deaths, including an 18-year-old man, this news was harsh,” said Dr Firass Abiad, head of Rafik Hariri University Hospital, the main coronavirus centre in the country.

The death rate in Lebanon, which has a population of about seven million, is increasing sharply.

Lebanon registered only 66 Covid-19 deaths prior to the explosion of about 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate in the capital, but about six weeks later the death toll stands at 286.

The elevated number of infections shows no sign of slowing, with the test positivity rate increasing by 15 per cent in the past two weeks alone.

On Sunday, Health Minister Hamad Hasan called for two weeks of travel restrictions to be introduced “before it’s too late", although many people feel the government’s handling of lockdown measures is doing little to quell the virus or the public’s belief that there is any health strategy in place.

As the nation grapples with economic collapse, trauma and the pandemic, there is little appetite for a stay-home order.

The country reimposed restrictions less than three weeks after from the explosion, when the number of infections had more than doubled to more than 11,000 from 5,417 the day after the blast.

The restrictions were soon eased after the Syndicate of Restaurants and Bar Owners said they would not abide by the measures this time.

The number of active cases in Lebanon, where restrictions on movement technically remain in place between 1am and 6am, now stands at 28,297.

According to public health professional Sara Chang, who has been maintaining a dashboard of Lebanon’s Covid-19 threat level, the “cases are increasing at a rate likely to overwhelm hospitals”.

Her work also shows that “preparedness is below standards", with the overall risk to the country high.

An outbreak in Lebanon’s largest and extremely overcrowded prison last week has elevated concerns over the country’s ability to handle the health crisis.

Allie Louise...exudes confidence and independence in “Stilettos.”  With a motivational prowess that cannot be denied, Allie proves herself as a “girl power icon” in this “I Am Woman” anthem that represents stilettos as a resilient coat of armor. The mid-tempo track aims to defy the “man’s world” idealism.

Self-pity would only slow us down

We’re too busy makin’ the world go ‘round

No time to come undone

Or let that mascara run…

…We wear our pain like Stilettos!

“’Stilettos’ has a women’s hold-your-own and ‘women make it happen’ storyline. That’s what made it so much fun to record. I was able to express that side of my personality, and I feel like I’m vocalizing a sentiment that so many women feel each and every day,” states Allie Louise.  ‘Stilettos’ is the perfect addition to every woman’s ‘daily inspirational minder’!”

Written by Lindsey Lee, Rachel Proctor, and Victoria Banks. Produced by Eddie Gore

All of my songs from my freshman CD were produced by the multi-Grammy award winning John Jaszcz (“Yosh”) and mixed at his French Beach Studio and tracked at the amazing Blackbird Studio.  The awesome Doug Kahan co-produced as well as co-wrote and played (bass).  I was also fortunate to work with some of Nashville’s best musicians on the project. They included Russ Pahl (steel), Nick Buda (drums), Troy Lancaster (electric guitar), Steven Sheehan and Pat McGrath (acoustic guitars), Jeff Roach and John Deadrick (keys), Glenn Duncan (fiddle and banjo), Kaci Bolls (background vocals), and Wally Dentz (harmonica).  It was an amazing experience, and I hope that you enjoy the album as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Unlike traditional psychiatry, which rarely looks at the brain, Amen Clinics uses brain imaging technology to identify underlying brain issues that contribute to excessive or chronic stress.

What is Stress?

Everybody experiences stress in day-to-day life. Traffic, work deadlines, illness, relationship troubles—life is full of stressors. Even happy occasions—a wedding, a promotion at work, a new baby—can fill you with tension. Some people handle life’s ups and downs with ease while others get stuck feeling overly stressed about every little thing. When the pressure of daily life begins to feel overwhelming, and you experience unrelenting, chronic stress, it’s time to seek help.

Who is Affected by Stress?

Americans’ stress levels are going up. A 2019 Gallup Poll found that people living in the U.S. reported the highest levels of stress, worry, and anger in the past 10 years. When asked how they felt the previous day, about 55% of adults said they felt stress during “a lot of the day,” 45% felt a lot of worry, and 22% felt anger. Problems with stress hit all age groups. Children, teens, adults, and seniors are all vulnerable to the effects of this all-too-common problem.

According to the American Institute of Stress:

  • 77% of people feel physical symptoms from stress
  • 73% experience psychological symptoms from stress
  • 33% of people feel they are living with extreme stress
  • 48% feel their stress has increased over the past 5 years

What are the Symptoms of Stress?

Stress can cause a number of physical, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. Being aware of the most common signs of stress and taking note of how many of them are affecting you can help you understand if you need to seek help. Physical symptoms include headaches or muscle tension. Psychological and cognitive symptoms inability to focus, anxious thoughts, or feeling depressed. Behavioral symptoms include social isolation or having difficulty sleeping. See below for a more complete list of the symptoms associated with stress.

What Causes Stress?

Some of the top stressful life events according to the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory:

  • Death of a spouse
  • Divorce or Separation
  • Death of a close family member
  • Major personal injury or illness
  • Being fired from your job
  • Marriage Issues
  • Imprisonment
  • Retirement

Stress is associated with several mental health disorders, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Anger
  • Memory issues
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder
  • PTSD
  • Psychosis

Why Choose Amen Clinics for Treating Stress?

At Amen Clinics, we use brain SPECT imaging as part of a comprehensive assessment to diagnose and treat our patients. We also assess other factors—biological, psychological, social, and spiritual—that can contribute to chronic stress and the mental health conditions related to it. Based on all of this information, we are able to personalize treatment using the least toxic, most effective solutions for a better outcome.

Stressed Brains Work Differently

When stress becomes chronic, it negatively impacts the brain, reducing brain reserve, decreasing mental focus, and interfering with activity in the hippocampus (a region involved with mood, memory, and learning).

The Stress Response in the Brain & Body

The stress response, known as the fight-or-flight response, is hard-wired into our bodies to help us survive. It is mobilized into action whenever an acute stressor appears, such as being in an earthquake, being robbed at gunpoint, or coming across a bear on a nature hike. Acute stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares you to either put up a fight or flee a dangerous situation.

The fight-or-flight response is triggered by: (1) the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure in the temporal lobes that is part of the limbic or emotional brain, which sends a signal to… (2) the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which signals… (3) the adrenal glands, located on the top of the kidneys, to flood the body with cortisol, adrenalin, and other chemicals to rocket you into action.

Here is a list of what happens when this response is set off:

  • Eyes – pupils dilate for better tunnel vision, but there is a loss of peripheral vision
  • Ears – hearing becomes less acute
  • Tears and saliva – lower production of both (dry eyes and mouth)
  • Skin – veins in skin constrict (colder hands and feet) to send more blood to major muscle groups (to fight or flee), causing the “chill” sometimes associated with fear
  • Lungs – air passages open; breathing becomes rapid and shallow
  • Blood sugar level – increases for energy
  • Heart – beats faster and harder
  • Blood pressure – increases
  • Blood vessels – shunt blood to upper arms and upper legs (fight or flee); away from hands and feet, causing vasoconstriction (they get colder)
  • Muscles – become tense; trembling may occur; muscles around hair follicles constrict, causing goose bumps
  • Digestion – slows
  • Immune system – shuts down
  • Bladder – relaxes
  • Genitals – erections inhibited (other things to think about)
  • Mental focus – trouble focusing on small tasks, thinking only of dealing with the threat

“With A Better Brain Comes A Better Life”

– Daniel G. Amen, M.D.

Pope Francis launches a new Vatican department, including an office for refugees reporting directly to him

Pope Francis sits with refugee children from Syria at the Vatican Aug. 11. (CNS photo/L'Osservatore Romano via Reuters)

Advancing with determination in the reform of the Roman Curia, Pope Francis has created an important new department for “integral human development” and, as expected, has appointed the Ghanaian cardinal, Peter Turkson, as its first prefect.

The Vatican announced the establishment of this new department (“dicastery” is its official title) on Aug. 31. At the same time, it published the “Motu Proprio” or decree, written by the pope creating it, and also the statute for this body.

Article 1 of the statute states that the new dicastery will have responsibility in the Holy See “for that which relates to justice and peace, including questions related to migration, health, works of charity and the care of creation.”

The dicastery includes an office “for refugees and migrants,” which Francis has decided will, “for now,” respond directly to him. He wants to emphasize the importance of this new department and to guarantee that the church responds adequately to the phenomenon of migration, the greatest humanitarian crisis since World War II. In section 1 of article 4 of the statute, it states, “this section is placed for the time being under the guidance of the Supreme Pontiff who will exercise it in the ways that he deems opportune.”

In his “Motu Proprio,” Francis states that “in all her being and actions, the Church is called to promote the integral development of the human person in the light of the Gospel. This development takes place by attending to the inestimable goods of justice, peace, and the care of creation.”

The term “integral human development” is highly significant and wide ranging. It first appeared in Pope Paul VI’s ground-breaking encyclical “Populorum Progressio” (“On the Progress of Peoples”), published in 1967. It is a concept that goes beyond the secular understanding of development as purely economic and technological, and emphasizes the need to put the human person at the center of all development. It involves the triple duty of human solidarity, social justice and universal charity. It also involves promoting the goal of reconciling humanity with God and people with each other in a way that respects and protects the integrity of all creation.

Francis, in the “Motu Proprio,” explains that this new dicastery “will be competent particularly in issues regarding migrants, those in need, the sick, the excluded and marginalized, the imprisoned and the unemployed, as well as victims of armed conflict, natural disasters, and all forms of slavery and torture.”

According to the statute, the new dicastery will be headed by a prefect, who will be assisted by a secretary and at least one under-secretary “that can also be lay faithful.” Laity, from different parts of the world, will also be on the board of this new department, which will have commissions for ecology, charity and health workers.

Pope Francis has appointed the internationally well-known and joy-filled Ghanaian cardinal, Peter Turkson, as its first prefect. In Oct. 2009, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI called him to Rome to head the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Cardinal Turkson, who is a biblical scholar, shares and firmly supports Francis’ vision for the church. (His office played a key role in helping draft “Laudato Si’” and, subsequently, in promoting it.)

The new department is the result of a creative merger involving four existing pontifical councils of the Roman Curia, namely: Justice and Peace, the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants, Cor Unum—the papal charity that provides humanitarian assistance and encourages coordination and cooperation of Catholic charitable works including Caritas Internationalis—and the Pastoral Care of Health Workers. The first three were established by Pope Paul VI as a follow-up to the Second Vatican Council, the fourth was created by St. John Paul II in 1985. All four will be suppressed on Jan. 1, 2017, when the new dicastery comes into existence.

Pope Francis decided to create this new department after extended discussions with his council of nine cardinal advisors (C9), and after an overall consultation with the College of Cardinals in February of 2015.

I know Cardinal Turkson who came at the invitation of Cardinal Collins to give a talk here in Toronto. As for the 3 other Dicastries being suppressed, never heard of them.... Glad to see that the Pope is taking a personal interest in a Vatican Dicastry as he has not minced words about the Admin side of the Vatican to my knowledge. As I understand it, Administration is one of the charisms of the Holy Spirit. in Christ,

"As for the 3 other Dicastries being suppressed, never heard of them..." You would not have heard of the "other 3 Dicasteries" because they were NOT Dicasteries but Pontifical Councils. There is a major difference in the scope and emphasis between a dicastery and a council in Vatican curial structure.
Luis Gutierrez

This is a laudable initiative by Pope Francis, but it is hard to understand how, in a post-patriarchal world, integral human development can be fostered by excluding 50% of the Catholic faithful from one of the sacraments, to the detriment of the entire body of Christ. It behooves all human institutions, secular and religious, to let go of ancient misconceptions (such as patriarchal gender theory) that no longer serve the human person, body and soul. An integral sacramental economy would be more conducive to integral human development and an integral ecology, for the glory of God and the good of humanity.
Charles Graham

This is just the start of changing - the Catholic Church has a very long road ahead of them for them to make their word 'bond'. For the Church to move forward to enhancing the concept of “integral human development”, it will take a lot of soul searching and changing, if they want to make it right in the eyes of God.

Representation Policy

AMIA Policy Regarding Speaking on Behalf of or Representing the Organization

AMIA is participating in a growing array of informatics-related activities relevant to national and international issues. With AMIA’s increased visibility and involvement in these issues, opportunities and requests to share and disseminate information reflective of AMIA work and/or positions have increased. The responsibility for official AMIA documents, statements, policy, and guidelines remains with the Board of Directors, who represent AMIA members. While there is a need to involve stakeholders such as WGs to capture domain expertise, to create forums for members to discuss the merits and to leverage existing committees to ensure consistency of proposals, such input should and can only be in an advisory capacity.

In matters that require an immediate response, the responsibilities and decisions rest with the elected and appointed custodians of AMIA’s reputation (the Board of Directors) and its designee (the President and CEO). The task force is aware that due to time pressures related to the need to respond to requests for comments, the input of AMIA stake holders sometimes may be limited, however AMIA elected official will to deliver the highest quality statement given the restraints of the individual situation. This may mean that in complex matters with limited time AMIA may elect not to go on record with an opinion.

1. Identification as AMIA member

AMIA encourages individuals to identify themselves as AMIA members (and/or as Fellows of ACMI) when they make public comments/statements/presentations on their own behalf. AMIA also encourages individual members to use the AMIA logo (as defined in the logo use policy) in their presentations. Individuals may not imply that they represent the views of AMIA, nor may they use any AMIA office or position (e.g. officer of a WG, committee chair, etc.) to directly or indirectly imply AMIA endorsement/approval.

2. Proposals for endorsements and public statements

AMIA [Working or Other] Groups may wish to make endorsements or public statements on issues of importance to them. In order to do so the group must assure that the statement is consistent with the officially stated positions and policies of AMIA and prove that the statement meaningfully represents the entire group that is associated with the statement.

The AMIA office is responsible for the operational support of gathering a majority vote of any AMIA group. Votes will be emailed to all eligible members and will be collected and tallied by the AMIA office. Meaningful representation of a group will be considered to be a simple majority of number of votes cast with at least 50% of the eligible members voting.

All such proposals are subject to review by the Public Policy Committee. In addition, if a set of at least 10 AMIA members identify a proposed statement as controversial, then the statement is subject to further review and approval by the WG Steering Committee.

In the event that an AMIA [Working or Other] Group is a member of another umbrella organization (e.g. NIWG and the Alliance for Nursing Informatics), the group is still subject to the procedure and any statement that is published by the umbrella organization requires AMIA approval before it can be labeled as an official AMIA statement.

3. Review process

All such proposed statements by AMIA [Working or Other] Groups are subject to advance review and approval by the Public Policy Committee, which is charged with making recommendations to the Board regarding policy positions. The recommendations of the committee are subject to review and approval/reversal/refinement by the Board.

4. Statements advocated by individual members

Only the President and CEO, the Board of Directors, or their officially designated designee may make statements on behalf of AMIA, subject to the operational model of the organization. Members who want to advocate positions to be taken publically by AMIA must channel such positions through the AMIA office, which then coordinates with the Public Policy Committee for consideration. Final approval for endorsement, after a recommendation by the committee, is by the Board.

5. Immediate response

In the event that a statement or response is urgently requested by an individual member or group, such opportunities must be brought to the attention of the AMIA office at the earliest opportunity. If a response is deemed to best interest of AMIA and its members (as decided by the President and CEO), the member or group may propose a statement to the President and CEO, who may elect to endorse such a statement if it is consistent with the officially stated positions and policies of AMIA. If time and resource availability allows, the AMIA office and members of the Public Policy Committee may assist in formulating the statement or response. All endorsed statements will be reviewed by the Public Policy Committee and Board of Directors if necessary retrospectively.

6. Other endorsements and representation

Appointments of AMIA members as official AMIA liaison to outside entities can be made only by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee. Official liaisons may communicate AMIA’s officially documented statements and policies and comply with the approval process as defined in this policy before communicating any and all new and/or ad-hoc statements in which they are sought to represent AMIA’s position. AMIA members who are participating at an AMIA Hill Day or other official policy event may represent the views of AMIA as detailed in briefing materials and talking points available at that particular event.

7. Pre-publication and member awareness

AMIA will strive (to the extent possible) to pre-publish public statements to interested members. Such a mechanism will provide members with awareness of new or revised/updated statements by AMIA, before such statements are released to the media, and may provide an additional opportunity for review by individual members. This is not intended as an approval mechanism, but is designed to allow AMIA to raise awareness of forthcoming public statements in a timely manner and solicit member feedback.

The AMIA board is grateful for the work the representation task force members put into reviewing AMIA’s policies and clarifying existing process, eliminating ambiguous language, and reducing the potential for misunderstandings through the public release of materials under the AMIA name.

Looking for an active Hebraic fellowship?

writing notes in Bible
  • Our Mission Statement -

    "Teaching the Ancient Path of our Hebrew Messiah"

    Ami Yisrael ("My people Israel") is a Sabbath keeping, Torah pursuant, Hebrew Roots fellowship that is firmly grounded on the teachings and example of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ).

    Over 3500 years ago God lead Israel to Mount Sinai - the 'Mountain of God' - to recieve His pathway to righteousness, the Torah. If they had heeded God's word and stayed on the path, they would have become an example to the nations of how a people who follow the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would be blessed. Unfortunately, they failed to do so but instead twisted and corrupted His words,  and as dictated by the Torah, they were ultimately scattered to the four winds.

    In due time, Messiah Yeshua came to re-establish the proper application of Torah and to redirect the Hebraic walk back to what was given on the Mountain.  He commisioned His disciples to follow in His footsteps, and announce His gospel of restoration which would eventually culminate in the re-establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth. By their words the world was turned "upside-down" as thousands of Jewish and non-Jewish people came to believe that Yeshua was indeed the long expected Hebrew Messiah, and that He would soon return and re-establish His kingdom on the Earth.

    Our mission statement expresses our desire to continue to follow the mandate given to the disciples - to teach His people the good news of the Kingdom of God, to admonish them to observe all the things He commanded, and to raise up deciples to Him. We feel that mandate can best be accomplished by teaching His words from within the context and culture of the Hebrew people ... after all, He was a Hebrew, and the Hebrew culture is the culture from which the entire New Testament was written.

  • What to Expect -

    The Sabbath is supposed to be a delight, and at Ami Yisrael, we strive to make it one by offering a mix of Bible Study, Messages, and Song & Dance. Here's what you can expect.

    We begin the service by reading and studying that week's Torah portion. Everyone is invited to read and comment - even the children. Torah study is important to us because we believe that the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible) is the foundation on which the rest of of the Bible was written. We delve into the words of God as they were given to Moses and see how the rest of the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) ties in. The Torah Study lasts 90 minutes.

    After a 30 minute snack break, we continue with a worship service where we praise God with song and Hebraic dance. You are welcome to join in the dance, but we ask that if you allow your young children to join, you stay next ot them until they are able to keep up.

    Song & Dance is followed by a message or Bible Study given or led by a Torah-based, Messiah-centered teacher.  All messages include time for questions and answers either during or at the conclusion of the message.

    Our usual set up is a 'classroom' arrangment with tables. This enables  those who wish to spread out their Bibles, reference materials, and even their laptop computers. You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks to the table as well.

    Though we take Bible Study and the worship of the God of Israel very seriously, we don't believe God intended it to be boring. We strive to avoid conflict in our discussions and we insert a little humour from time to time just to take off the edge. It's a truly delightful afternoon!

AirsoftPro Lightweight hybrid piston for sniper rifles L96, MB01,05,06, SW m24, M99

    Reinforced piston for your airsoft sniper rifle. For maximum performance and durability. The hybrid piston is made of three different materials:

    • Light aluminum body

    • POM ring for better sliding in the cylinder

    • Catch back end part made of stainless steel.

    Compared to the previous version, the piston was completely redesigned. Rubber pad now exceeds larger area with the back-pressure holes, stainless steel part is shorter, piston is more lightweight. This reduce the weight by a quarter over the previous generation. And lower weight means higher performance. The groove below the sealing ring is shallower with a modified shape, reducing the risk of head deformation due to impact. Improvements have also been made to the sliding POM piston rings for longer life of the front of the piston. They were slightly enlarged so that the metal parts did not touch cylinder and had a smoother surface.

    • The piston is made by CNC machining from light, but durable aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (Dural) with a high-quality anodized finish.
    • The piston catch is made of stainless steel.
    • The piston has one sliding polyacetal (POM) ring.

We’re in India and recently had lunch with Indu Bhan, whom you may remember as the man who told us the fascinating story of how he and his companions found Babaji’s Cave. Indu is a font of amazing and inspiring stories, and he asked us if we would like to hear about the most memorable talk he had ever attended. Seeing the twinkle in his eye, we were eager to hear the tale.

Everything is a blessing from the divine. Touch of Light weekly blog inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda. #yogananda #quote Painting by Nayaswami Jyotish Novak

Everything is a blessing from the Divine.

“I had to pay a small amount to attend,” he began. “First there were fifteen minutes of kirtan, or devotional chanting. Then the teacher came on stage and said, ‘Everything that happens to you is a blessing from the Divine meant for your spiritual evolution.’ Then he walked off!

“Another fifteen minutes of kirtan ensued, and again he came on stage and repeated, ‘Everything that happens to you is a blessing from the Divine meant for your spiritual evolution,’ and walked off a second time. Another fifteen minutes of kirtan, and out he came again and repeated the very same sentence. Then he left, and that was the end of the evening.”

Indu concluded by saying that even though he was a youth at the time, and many decades have passed, he has never forgotten the evening or the talk.

Devi and I are practicing this lesson in our own way. We’ve been in the Himalayas helping to lead two consecutive weekend pilgrimages to Babaji’s Cave. In the intervening week, we were also fortunate to take seclusion at a retreat near Lohaghat, and visit some other sacred spots associated with our line of gurus. During this period we are accepting everything, every detail, as a blessing from the Divine in the form of Babaji.

Some remarkable things happened on the pilgrimages. There were several people who felt that their being able to come at all was a miracle in itself. One had been having dizzy spells and couldn’t even walk across a room a week before. Another man had had a serious knee injury that mysteriously vanished. Yet a third had a broken kneecap, and another was having upper spinal problems and was wearing a neck brace. The latter two had both been warned by their doctors that it was madness to attempt such a vigorous trek.

However, not only did everyone make the steep climb to reach the cave, but they were glowing by the end. The woman with the neck brace kept repeating Babaji’s name the whole way, until she realized that he was inside her taking every step. She felt so deeply blessed and blissful that she was unable to sleep that night.

Is everything that happens to us a blessing? Yes! Everything!! Even though some things may seem hard, still they are lessons meant for our spiritual evolution.

You might try this: In the morning when you get up, mentally say, “Everything that will happen today will be a blessing from the Divine, meant for my spiritual evolution.” Then sometime during the day say, “Everything that is happening is a blessing from the Divine, meant for my spiritual evolution.” And, before sleep, with gratitude, say, “Everything that happened today was a blessing from the Divine, meant for my spiritual evolution.”

If you do this for one week, with deep belief, it will change your life.

In the flow of divine blessings,

Nayaswami Jyotish

  1. One of the most beautiful and meaningful readings for me especially considering my work with my patients and the Gurus grace I seek at each second of my work with my patients and surgeries.
    Thank you so very much for sharing this Gurus message.
    Dr Harpreet

  2. Wow! Very inspiring! This gives me energy! I will practice what you said.
    Thank you, Jyotish. Jai Babaji!
    Love your paintings!

  3. Dear Divine friend Jyotish,
    I feel very much that I know this truth, but when you say it the way you say it, this becomes like a big realization in my life. Thank you for teaching with such faith . . . like what Devi wrote last week about St. Anthony when he said the words “I have seen Him”, and then everyone believed.
    Thank you Jyotish and Devi for teaching us with wisdom, and with sweetness. AUM

  4. Wonderful inspiration Jyotishji. Thanks. Jai Guru.

  5. A year ago when I went to Babaji’s Cave on pilgrimage with Mantradevi and Krishnadas, I prayed to Babaji all the way up to walk in my shoes, walk in my shoes. I was 75 and hadn’t been exercising and knew that normally I would be creaking around for days afterwards. But it was as though I hadn’t had any exercise in the days afterwards. I was totally fine. Being there was a beautiful experience.

  6. Thank you, Jyotish. This was a lovely thing to find immediately after meditating and making my breakfast smoothie. Blessings to you and Devi! – rb

  7. Thank you! Both Karen and I have been through 7 years of the most difficult trails and losses. Constant serious health challenges, people who I trusted to truly know me doing and saying terrible untruths and trying to hurt us as much as possible after we have given our hearts and unconditional love to them. Losing our treasured spiritual academy building and dong what I most loved to do. It seems a very dark cloud has laid heavy on us. And yet we have forgivin all and ourselves. We have stayed grateful for every act of love and kindness extended to us or others. We have kept true to our line of Gurus and talk to Master constantly. Though my heart aches at times, my trust is in “Everything that happens to us is a blessing from the divine for our spiritual evolution!” I must admit that I am weary and with all that has happened with us, and yet… I think mercy and goodness shall follow us in all the days of our lives anyway…. Kim ??

    1. Hi, Kim and Karen, So sorry that things have been so rough in your world. Love to hear from you directly and perhaps we can chat more about what’s going on for you. In Divine friendship always, Nayaswami Savitri

  8. What a beautiful approach to view every step of the path to God.

  9. Very interesting story.

    I would like some day visit the babaji cave and the himalayas.
    As well as the sout of india Tamil nadu.

    I´m going to look for a pilgrim to that places.

    May be you rember me. I meet you in your visit to mexico with Anaashini

    I will be in touch
    Regards César

  10. Wonderful.
    Thank you Jyotish.
    Continue to enjoy and experience every moment as a Blessing!
    ~~~Peace, Josette

    1. I am a psychiatric patient and should not go to exceses otherwise I get to much out of balance, as the energy gets to high so instead of repeating a mantra all day long,for a week I prefer to think of Master guiding me.
      I try to think of master as much as possible and pray to him during the day to bless the world,and all possible difficult conditions,and the animalkingdom and the world of nature ,Mother Earth,the planet, and pray for Ananda and myself that He would overshadow me.
      I hope you agree on this,Jyotich
      Love Dominic

  11. This is beautiful. I will do this every day and night.
    Thank you.

  12. Thank you Ji for this Wonderful message. This really helps us a lot. Pleasant things bring us Joy as they are gifts from the Divine and pain from difficult situations eases with this thought, that its for us to evolve spiritually.
    Thank you:)

  13. OM!
    Dear Jyotish and Devi,
    My pilgrimage to Baba ji cave, this year, was all about reconnecting…to myself and with you and Devi. The Universal energies have their divine ways of reconnecting life after life….
    Looking forward to spending more time with you both.

    Love and Light!

  14. Thank you beloved friend. I feel it. Something deep is changing (again…) Bless us all to be able to act on what we feel and learn the Divine Truth that “Everything that is happening is blessing from the Divine, meant for my spiritual evolution.” And, before sleep, with gratitude, say…, Namaste .

  15. It is amazing that the day I read this message is a day I REALLY needed to hear it. Thanks so much, Jyotish!

  16. Dear Nayaswami Jyotish Ji,

    Thank you for such an inspiring thought. We shall follow this .

    Aum …Prem

  17. Loved it.Thank you for sharing…very affirming for me…i have always said”that this challenge is bringing me closer to the Divine”…Thank You God……Ahmen
    It has not always been easy to do it……When it has been especially challenging , i chant/pray/breathe with intent or meditate more.to faciilitate remembrance of my oneness with God’s Love and Wisdom.

Former Lenovo Mobile Head May Face Legal Issues After Joining Xiaomi

AH Lenovo new logo 1

Former Lenovo Mobile head joined Xiaomi recently, and may face some legal issues because of it. We’re talking about Chang Cheng, who has been Lenovo’s Vice President and Head of Lenovo Mobile China for quite some time.

Mr. Cheng has joined Lenovo 19 years ago. He resigned on December 18 last year, on the same day as Liu Chuanzhi. Mr. Chuanzhi, for those of you who do not know, is the founder of Lenovo.

Chang Cheng joined Lenovo back in 2000, as the Director of Research and Development for the company’s notebook business. He was appointed the Vice President of Lenovo Group back in 2011, which is the same year he became the General Manager of the mobile end-to-end software platform. In mid-2015, he became the CEO of Lenovo’s ZUK mobile brand.

Mr. Cheng left Lenovo because of ‘personal health issues’ and because he wanted to spend more time with his family, says the source. So, the fact that he joined Xiaomi so soon after quitting his job at Lenovo is quite odd.

Chang Cheng has decided to join Xiaomi, as he became the company’s Vice President. That news got confirmed by Lei Jun, the founder, Chairman and CEO of Xiaomi. Mr. Cheng confirmed the news via his Weibo account as well.

In his new role, Mr. Cheng will be responsible for smartphone product planning, reports Gizmochina.

Former Lenovo Mobile head may face legal issues if he signed a non-competition agreement

That being said, former Lenovo Mobile head may face some legal issues because of joining Xiaomi. According to Tech Sina, Lenovo has released a statement that confirms that all employees working with the company have to sign a non-competition agreement.

This actually means that former employees are under a contract not to move to a competitor, though that probably goes for highly-ranked officials. Chang Cheng is definitely one of those.

We’re not entirely sure what Chang Cheng signed, so we cannot really know what comes next. If he did sign such a contract, which prevents him from joining a competitor after he leaves the company, then Lenovo has the right to sue.

If that ends up being the case, Chang Cheng may be faced with a fine, and also a new type of contract which would prevent him from sharing Lenovo information with Xiaomi, though that part was probably a part of the initial contract.

Do note that a lawyer from Beijing pointed out that the competition agreement does not fall under mandatory signing. So, we don’t really know if Chang Cheng signed such a contract or not, though considering his position at Lenovo, chances are he did.

Chances are we’ll hear more about this in the coming weeks / months. We’re still waiting for a statement from Xiaomi and / or Chang Cheng regarding all this.

How to Purchase Malaria Tablets Online to Protect Yourself from Malaria

When travelling to regions where malaria is present, taking anti-malaria medication is a required precaution prior to your trip. Medication should also be continuous throughout your stay up to a specified period after you leave the malaria area. Malaria is a serious condition that affects hundreds, if not thousands of travellers around the world, of which, fatality is a real and present danger. Onset of the disease can be rapid, especially when contracting an aggressive parasitic attack. Fortunately, taking the right medication offers good protection against the disease as prescribed by your GP.

No single type of anti malaria medication works better than the other. Each of them has their own strengths and has been designed to help prevent attacks. Some malaria tablets are taken daily, while others have a weekly dose. Most medications, however, are ideally taken at least a week or two before travel for maximum protection.

One important thing that you should remember when buying malaria tablets online is to choose the right malaria medication for the area or location that you are travelling to. Ask your doctor about the correct manner of taking the medication. In most cases, treatment should start a few days up to 10 days before you enter the malaria area. Even when you have taken or are taking malaria tablets, precautions to avoid mosquito bites and potential infection should still be observed for ultimate protection against the disease. This means wearing protective clothing as well as pest repellent products to keep yourself from getting bitten by malaria-causing mosquitoes.

When buying malaria tablets online, you will typically be asked to fill in a consultation form, to be reviewed by real doctors. This helps determine the proper medication to prescribe for the nature of your travel. Some of the most commonly available treatments for malaria online include chloroquine, malarone, paludrine, and lariam, among many other malaria pills.

Treasures of India Wildlife Series
The second release of the Treasures of India Wildlife series features the Peacock, the national bird of India. The bird symbolizes grace, pride and beauty and is often used in Indian mythology and stories. The male peacock typically has the lavish display of feathers we are familiar with. The female peacock tends to be smaller and lacks the tail. The Peacock design on the coin is an original design by Veronica Mackinnon, and captures the grace and beauty of the animal.

The "CASH" denomination shown on the coin is also one of historical significance. CASH coins were currency units used during the time of British rule in India. While the origin of the word "CASH" has been up to debate, one thought is that it was derived from the Sanskrit word "karsa", equaling a weight of Silver or Gold equal to 1/400 of a "tola".

Modi advises CAs not to help black money hoarders

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again warned the black money hoarders of stringent action saying thirty seven thousand shell companies were identified for their involvement in tax evasion while three lakh others were under scanner for suspicious dealings after demonetization.

While addressing foundation day celebrations of Indian Institute of Chartered Accountants (IICA) on Saturday evening, Prime Minister said “I have launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to clean up the country. I am also carrying out operations to clean the economy.”

He emphasized that it would become more difficult for people stashing funds in Swiss banks after automatic tax information exchange regime comes into force between India and Switzerland. He also said that Indians’ money parked in Swiss banks has dipped to a record low. However, he criticized previous UPA government saying that in 2013 the Indian’s money in Swiss Bank had sharp rise by 42 per cent.

Prime Minister also advised chartered accountants not to help entities in black money dealings. He said that he was told that chartered accountants cancelled their Diwali holidays due to work load in the post demonetization period. However he underlined their powers and responsibilities.  The government has cancelled registration of over one lakh companies in a single stroke, he informed.

Modi asserted that number of tax payers was very low in the country. He said “Only 3.2 million people in the country revealed that their income is more than Rs 10 lakh while 20.18 million people travelled abroad last year. Millions of vehicles are purchased in the country, but they don’t contribute to the exchequer. This is a matter of concern.” He advised people to pay taxes to contribute in the nation building.
