Guru Har Rai (1630 – 1631 A.D.) – A Photo Essay ::

Guru Hargobind’s fourteen year old grandson Har Rai, born on 30th January, 1630 A.D. at Kiratpur, succeeded his grandfather Guru Hargobind to the Gurugaddi after he passed away in 1644. Neither of his two sons, Surajmal and Tegh Bahadur, was willing to take up the responsibility of leading and guiding the community of Sikhs. Tegh Bahadur, though a recluse when his father Guru Hargobind died, later was nominated the Sikhs’Ninth Guru.

Guru Har Rai continued the practice of Miri and Piri and maintained a splendid court and a company of 200 mounted soldiers as his personal guard, yet he felt the proportion of Miri in Sikhism was gradually mounting with a result that in the life of an average Sikh the ‘spiritual’ was seen usually sub serving the ‘material’. He did not, hence, have much preference for warfare and chose rather the solitude of hills where, while meditating within, he was able to explore and collect his energies for applying them to consolidate the spiritual part of Sikhism. He believed that in the Sikh tradition warfare was an eventuality and spiritualism its essence.

He sought to revive Guru Nanak’s way though his canvas was not that wide. He believed like the first Guru that personal touch and contact was the most effective instrument for inspiring the Sikhs. He, hence, undertook tours, though only of shorter durations and distances, which, perhaps, the later sovereign form of Sikh Guruship conditioned. He stayed at Nahan, now in Himachal Pradesh, for some twelve years and wielded great spiritual influence around. He once blessed there a Jat boy, poor and hungry, who later came to found the known Phulkian family after his own name Phul. This family later ruled the states of Patiala, Nabha, and Jind. A bairagi monk Bhagat Gir met here Guru Har Rai and was so impressed that he took to Sikhism. Renamed as Bhagat Bhagwan he was commissioned to carry to the eastern part Guru Nanak’s Message. Wherever Guru Har Rai went hundreds of people heard him and got converted to Sikhism. At Kiratpur, Bhai Sangaita, a man of great caliber came in his touch. He not only joined Sikhism but also undertook the mission of spreading the message of Guru Nanak in Bari Doab. His other associate Bhai Gonda carried the mission to Lahore and converted their people to Nanak’s path.

Sainthood with no place for vengeance and ill-will was the legacy of Guru Har Rai too. He had in his possession a life saving medicine, which the Mughal emperor Shahjahan need for saving the life of his eldest and the most beloved son Dara Shikoh who was struggling in between life and death. Shahjahan’s messenger, sent to Guru Har Rai, went back not with the medicine alone but also with the holy blessings to the emperors ailing son. Dara Shikoh speedily recovered but whether by Guru’s medicine or his blessing was not known. Guru Har Rai only strengthened the tradition of Sikh Gurus which believed in returning good for evil.

Despite his aversion for warfare and violence, he would not hesitate to confront with any power or pay whatever cost for his adherence to truth and his Panth. Misled to believe that Guru Har Rai was a rebel, and that Sikh scriptures propagated things against Islam, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, after he had succeeded his father, summoned Guru Har Rai to his court, though the letter he sent to him was very polite, something such as a dagger wrapped in velvet. Guru Har Rai nominated his eldest son Ram Rai to visit the Mughal emperor. He was instructed not to appease the Mughal emperor by his words, or to interpret Adi-granth, or any of its parts, to mean different from what it actually meant. Charmed by Mughal power and the glamour of the Mughal court Ram Rai acted differently. He appeased the emperor and disobeyed his father. He interpreted Adi-granth to emperor’s liking. After Guru Har Rai had heard all about it he reacted that “Guruship was tigress’ milk and could not be contained in a pot other than that of gold”. He announced that Ram Rai would never appear before him and nominated his second son Har Kishan, though just five, as his successor.

Guru Har Rai often recited a couplet of Baba Farid, which suggested that the great Sikh Guru considered compassion as the highest virtue of all things divine in man.

“Hearts are jewels,
Distress them not,
Those who distress no heart
Seek the beloved God,”

Whether real or imagined, an incident of his life has been widely covered in Sikh literature and in medieval Sikh paintings. While strolling in a garden he dragged with his loose cloak a few stem-containing flowers. No sooner he saw the flowers falling to ground his eyes welled up with tears. It pained him that he instrumented them injury, an act that was never in his nature.

In Guru Har Rai Sikhism seemed to seek the apex of emotionality and the softer aspects of human life.

Guru Har Rai Sahib

Guru Hargobind Sahib, before his departure for heavenly abode, nominated his grand son, Har Rai Ji at the tender age of 14, as his successor (Seventh Nanak), on 3rd March, 1644. Guru Har Rai Sahib was the son of Baba Gurdita Ji and Mata Nihal Kaur Ji(also known as Mata Ananti Ji). Guru Har Rai Sahib married to Mata Kishan Kaur Ji(Sulakhni Ji) daughter of Sri Daya Ram Ji of Anoopshahr (Bulandshahr) in Utter Pradesh on Har Sudi 3, Samvat 1697. Guru Har Rai Sahib had two sons: Sri Ram Rai Ji and Sri Har Krishan Sahib Ji (Guru).

Guru Har Rai Sahib was a man of peace but he never disbanded or discharged the armed Sikh Warriors (Saint Soldiers), who earlier were maintained by his grandfather (Guru Hargobind Sahib). He otherwise further boosted the military spirit of the Sikhs. But he never himself indulged in any direct political and armed controversy with the contemporary Mughal Empire. Once on the request of Dara Shikoh (the eldest son of emperor Shahjahan). Guru Sahib helped him to escape safely from the bloody hands of Aurangzebs armed forces during the war of succession.

Once Guru Sahib was coming back from the tour of Malwa and Doaba regions, Mohamad Yarbeg Khan, (son of Mukhlis Khan, who was killed by Guru Hargobind Sahib in a battle) attacked the kafla of Guru Sahib with the force of one thousand armed men. The unwarranted attack was repulsed by a few hundred Saint Soliders of Guru Sahib with great courge and bravery. The enemy suffered a heavy loss of life and fled the scene. This self-defense measure, (a befitting reply to the unwarranted armed attack of the privileged muslims), was an example for those who professed the theory of so called non-violence or "Ahimsa Parmo Dharma". Guru Sahib often awarded various Sikh warriors with gallantry awards.

Guru Sahib also established an Aurvedic herbal medicine hospital and a research centre at Kiratpur Sahib. There, he maintained a zoo also. Once Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan fell seriously ill by some unknown disease. The best physicians available in the country and abroad were consulted, but there was no improvement. At last the emperor made a humble request to Guru Sahib for the treatment of his son. Guru Sahib accepting the request, handed over some rare and suitable medicines to the messenger of the emperor. The life of Dara Shikoh was saved from the cruel jaws of death. The emperor, whole heartily thanked and wanted to grant some "Jagir", but Guru Sahib never accepted.

Guru Har Rai Sahib also visited Lahore, Sialkot, Pathankot, Samba, Ramgarh and many places of Jammu and Kashmir region. He established 360 Sikh missionary seats (ManJis). He also tried to improve the old corrupt Masand system and appointed pious and committed personalities like Suthre Shah, Sahiba, Sangtia, Mian Sahib, Bhagat Bhagwan, Bahagat Mal and Jeet Mal Bhagat (also known as Bairagi), as the heads of ManJis.

Guru Har Rai Sahib faced some serious difficulties during the period of his guruship. The corrupt massands, Dhir Mals and Minas always tried to preclude the advancement of Sikh religion. After the death of Shah Jahan, the attitude of the state headed by Aurangzeb towards the non-muslims, turned hostile.

The emperor Aurangzeb made an excuse for the help rendered to prince Dara Shakoh by Guru Sahib during the war of succession and framed false charges against Guru Sahib and was summoned to Delhi. Ram Rai Ji appeard on behalf of Guru Sahib in the court. He tried to clarify some mis-understandings regarding Guru Ghar and Sikh faith, created by Dhirmals and Minas. Yet another trap, which he could not escape, was to clarify the meaning of the verse "The Ashes of the Mohammadan fall into the potter's clot, It is molded into pots and bricks, and they cry out as they burn".

Ram Rai, in order to please the emperor and gain more sympathy replied that the text had been needlessly corrupted by some ignorant person and inserted the word Musleman instead of word Beiman (dishonest).(The actual meaning of the verse is that the human soul is not bound to the physical structure or the body of a person. The physical material of the bodies of both Hindus and Muselmans face the same fate and it is a universal truth. The soul leaves the body immediately after the death and it does not remain in the grave waiting for doom\'s day. And the earth consumes the body-material in due course of time) It is a rational and scientific view of Sikhism.

When Guru Har Rai Sahib was informed about this incident, he immediately excommunicated Ram Rai Ji from the Sikh Panth and never met him, through the later pleaded repeatedly for forgiveness. Thus Guru Sahib established a strict property for the Sikhs against any alteration of original in Guru Granth Sahib and the basic conventions set up by Guru Nanak Sahib.

Knowing that the end was near, Guru Har Rai Sahib installed his younger son Har Krishan as the Eighth Nanak and passed away on Kartik Vadi 9 (5 Kartik), Bikrami Samvat 1718, (6th October, 1661) at Kiratpur Sahib.

This is only a partial answer. Big chunks of Sikh history have been obliterated over the centuries making it impossible to document many many things. Each time through destruction through conquest and war. After the death of Guru Gobind Singh, Moghuls made it a point to systematically destroy remnants of Sikh identity. Documents lost and in the chaos no one able to preserve things. During the raj documents changed or shipped away. During the partition more destruction. During Bluestar the destruction of Akal Takht and much of its library shipped to no one knows where by the Indian Army. It is remarkable that anything is left. That is only part of the problem of reconstructing the why's and wherefore's of how various schools of thought developed. Some of it was political. Some of it reflects times when different personalities broke away from the center created by our gurus. In our Sanatan Sikhism section we are beginning a collection of information on diverse traditions within Sikhism. Take a look there. But that does not even scratch the surface of the answer.

Episodes from the lives of the Gurus, Institute for Sikh studies, Chandigarh

God Looks After Everybody

Once a householder Sikh came to see Guru Har Rai ji, and narrated his problem thus: “O True King, I had a son who grew into a promising young man. He is dead now. I had hoped that he would take over the responsibilities of the household, and that I will come and stay in your service to earn salvation at your door. But my hopes have been shattered. What should 1 do in such a plight? This is troubling me constantly.”
“Tell me how many members are there in your family, and what do you do to make a living?” asked the Guru. “O True King, there are two younger sons and a daughter, besides their mother. I am the fifth. With regard to livelihood, whatever I earn, is used to feed us all,” replied the Sikh.
“If you are really keen to serve the Guru, start right away. Leave their care to God. He will look after them. You can make your life fruitful,” said the Guru.

“O True King, my thinking is immature. I believe that without me they will perish. You are the Guru. Everything is at your command. Pray, show me something to put faith into me.”

“Do an errand for me. We shall talk about faith, when you return. Deliver a message to my Sikh in 'so and so' village.” “Pray, give me the letter,” requested the Sikh. The Guru wrote a message, instructing that the messenger should be imprisoned for six months, after which he should be released, and that he should be looked after well. The Sikh carried the letter and delivered it. He was detained as per the Guru’s instruction. The Sikh pleaded, “O brother, 1 have four persons to support. They can eat only if I earn. Without me they will starve. Pray, let me go.” The Sikh replied, “Listen brother, it is you who have brought this letter. The Guru at whose command everything happens, has instructed that the man who brings this message, should be imprisoned. You want to be released. Now you advise whether we should obey you or the Guru who is omnipotent. Consider what is proper for you and what is proper for me, and then speak.” “Who am I? You should obey the all-powerful Guru.” “You have understood the situation correctly. Now be patient. Relax for six months, concentrate on the Guru in mind, after which I shall let you go. It is in your interest to obey the Guru. Carrying out the Guru's instructions is in my interest also.” The Sikh acquiesced.

At the other end, the Guru arranged for the sustenance of the Sikh's family in this way. They went without one meal. Their neighbours asked them why they had not cooked their meal. The Sikh's wife replied, “Who earned has abandoned us. God knows what was his consideration. Now our sustenance is in the hands of God. If He gives, we shall cook and eat. Otherwise, we shall bear it quietly.” The neighbours thought it was not proper that the family should stay hungry in their midst, and that some arrangements must be made for them. To start with, each one of them brought one tray of flour for the family. There were fifty houses in the neighbourhood. Thus, fifty trays of flour were collected. Then the inhabitants of the locality gave them employment. The two sons started working as attendants, and earning. A lady took pity and gave the little girl and her mother lessons in embroidery. Thus, their sustenance was no longer a problem. On expiry of six months, the Sikh was released from detention. He immediately went to his family. He had been greatly worried. He was afraid that they would be no more. But when he found them hale and hearty, he was very happy. In fact, he saw that they were better off as compared to earlier times. When his wife told him the truth about the family, it made him all the more happy. He realised that the Guru had arranged all this to put faith into him. He went to see the Guru again, and out of gratefulness, said happily, “O True King, you have taken me out of hell, and brought the reality before my eyes. Otherwise, my entire life would have been wasted worrying about food for the family. Now I have seen that in fact I was a hindrance in their sustenance. When I was away, there was abundance of everything. Now I shall devote my life in the service of the Guru. Because of your mercy I have found bliss.”

“Listen, O Sikh, there were ten doors to the sustenance of your family. When were they without sustenance? God provides it even where there is no door. There is life within rocks. Their sustenance reaches there. There are beings deep inside the earth. God feeds them there. Similarly, there are beings in the sky. Their sustenance is arranged there. Listen to this story of how He looks after His creation. There is a mountain of ferrous rocks in the sea where no fanning is possible. People live there also and need food. They are surrounded by a huge ocean, which man-made boats cannot cross. For them, every year God creates ships and inspires such traders, shows routes to them, so that the ships can reach those mountains, barter iron ore day and night in exchange for food they bring from outside. The exchange does not stop. The people feel that they are drawing their sustenance from the iron ore. So, they love their occupation of mining. Because they are ignorant of the Almighty. They give all credit to their occupation. As God has to provide sustenance to living beings, He creates the illusion that it is their effort which sustains them. Those who know that it is really God who provides sustenance, are attached to Him.”

Protecting Mother Earth: Sikhism's Ecological Roots
by Bandana Kaur

Earlier this winter, seventy new medicinal plants were sown in the garden of Naulakha Bagh in Kiratpur Sahib, Punjab, along the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. As aged fingers reached down through the dirt to create space for young saplings, this group of Sikh elders revived a centuries old tradition of planting culturally important plants at historic Sikh sites.

In fact, it was on this ground that five centuries earlier, the seventh Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Har Rai Ji, established a wildlife sanctuary and planted flowers, medicinal herbs, and fruit-bearing trees. According to Sikh tradition these efforts created a salubrious environment, attracting birds and animals to the town and turning it into an idyllic place to live. Naulakha Bagh became famous for wide varieties of rare medicinal herbs, and as memories recount, event the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan sought medicine from Guru Har Rai Ji for curing his son, Dara Shikoh.

To honor the Sikh tradition of preserving 'Mata Dharat' (Mother Earth), Sikhs will host a week of celebrations for 'Sikh Vatavaran Diwas' (Environment Day) the third week of March, which also corresponds to the New Year in the Sikh Nanakshahi calendar. The environmental celebrations this year consist of a total of 1,500 grassroots projects by Sikhs across six continents to protect our planet: from tree plantings to sapling distributions, water conservation projects to solar energy installations, organic farming workshops to nature marches through streets and villages. All these celebrations are inspired by Sikh teachings that recognize the Divine force as Nature.

Sacred Earth in the Sikh Tradition

The Sikh tradition affirms the sanctity of the earth.

The teachings of the Sikhs are contained in the Guru Granth Sahib, a compilation of the writings of the Sikh Gurus (1469-1708) describing the universal presence of the Divine. Sikhs honor Guru Granth Sahib as their timeless Guru and teacher.

As described in the Guru Granth Sahib, the ecological basis of Sikh tradition rests in the understanding that the Creator ('Qadir') and the Creation ('Qudrat') are One. The Divine permeates all life, and is inherent in the manifest creation around us, from the wind that blows across land and skies, to the water that flows through rivers and seas, to the forests and fields that humans rely on for food and shelter, as well as all the creatures of land and sea that depend on the earth for sustenance. The Sikh Gurus teach that there is no duality between that which makes a flower grow and the petals we are able to touch and sense with our fingers.

The Sikh Gurus also refer to the earth as 'Dharamsaal,' a religious sanctuary where union with the Divine is attained. Guru Nanak describes this in the morning recitation for Sikhs known as Jap Ji, that amid the rhythms of Creation, the changing seasons, air, water, and fire, the Creator established the earth as the home for humans to realize their Divinity in this world.

The Sikh Gurus' writings are also a rich compendium on the biodiversity of South Asia. Throughout Guru Granth Sahib, birds and trees especially are used to describe the metaphoric relationship between a disciple and the Divine. Traditional birds like the pea{censored}, flamingo, hawk, cuckoo, nightingale, crane, swan, owl, and the koyal, and trees like the banyan, pipal, and sandalwood of Punjab are used in the Gurus' metaphors, along with many, many other species. This diversity of life affirm's the Divine's creative current through land, water, and sky.

This understanding of the universe is all embedded within the Khalsa ideal for Sikhs, a word that also signifies the 'sovereign' body of Sikhs who make a commitment to protecting the most marginalized among us, a strong call to environmental justice.

The Path Before Us

The challenge that rests before us is tremendous, and weighs a heavy burden on human wellbeing and the survival of our planet. With reports surfacing daily of the severity of the ecological crisis before us, can a spiritual tradition that is centuries old really stand the test of our planetary systems today?

Take the ecological crisis currently facing the region of Punjab as an example, where 25 million of the world's Sikhs reside. Punjab was the testing ground of the Green Revolution, which sought to increase food production for the subcontinent in the 1960s, but not without the serious erosion of the region's ecological base. This once thriving alluvial plain home to croplands interspersed with grasslands, forests, wetlands, and rivers, now has fallen extremely low in national environmental rankings. Due to unchecked demand on resources, the region claims some of the highest damage to soil and water systems, severe biodiversity losses, and pollution from industrial units that spew named carcinogens into waterways.

The EcoSikh movement was born of the vision that the Sikh Gurus' message is indeed relevant for our time, and that a harmonious relationship with our planet a human life. This collective Sikh effort for the environment not only represents the spiritual foundation to protect our environment, but also the power of 25 million working together.

It is the power of Sikhs from all over the world affirming their connection with the planet.

It is the power of Sikhs to work with scientists, policy makers, and business owners and remind us all of the inherent value of Nature.

It is the power of Sikh elders sharing knowledge that sustained earth's systems for generations, and young people in choosing to honor it.

It is the power of the Sikh Gurus that remind us that living a spiritually exalted life means caring deeply about Creation.

In other words, the mainstream environmental dialogue is strengthened by voices of spiritual traditions that not only represent sizable populations but also inspire us to a deeper environmental sensibility and action. This is why 'Sikh Vatavaran Diwas,' our environment day, is not just about what happens today, but it is about our future, and living powerfully in the present so that others may do so one day as well.

It is on this day, the 545th Sikh New Year, that EcoSikh wishes all a happy Sikh Vatavaran Diwas - Environment Day. May all remain spiritually exalted, and always in service of the Universal, Creative force that sustains this earth.

Summer Road
Posted on Aug 1st, 2018

April 14, 2018

To:       Silver Shekel Owners

From:   Silver Shekel Owners Association

Subj:    Silver Shekel Access Roads and Annual Maintenance

Our neighborhood was designed and subdivided during the 1960s in then-rural Summit County.  Two access locations to State Highway 9 were included in the original design and remain in use today.  These include the recently reconfigured Fairview Boulevard Roundabout (main entrance) located at the northwest corner of the subdivision and the Fairview Boulevard spur road (secondary entrance) located at the southwestern corner.  The secondary entrance, or “Summer Road”, is designated as “seasonal use” due to minimal winter maintenance, though some winters it remains open throughout the season.

In addition to the Highway 9 access points, a spur road allowing future connection with continued development to the east was included.  This spur road forks east from the southernmost portion of Silver Circle, where it ends at a gate leading into the Highlands Subdivision (rear entrance).  The Town of Breckenridge owns the land just east of the gate, through which the proposed connection to Highlands Drive would be created.

The public roads within the Silver Shekel subdivision are County-owned, and the public roads within the Highlands subdivision are Town-owned.  There is currently no indication of the desire or necessity to create a permanent vehicular connection between the two subdivisions.

There have been previous discussions with Summit County regarding the maintenance and operation of the secondary entrance.  This entrance features a gravel surface on steep, partially-shaded slopes with tight turn radii.  When combined with our frequent residential traffic and our weather extremes, these conditions create a maintenance issue which requires frequent attention.  Although this is a County-owned road and therefore its maintenance responsibility, the County has previously mentioned closing the road rather than continuing the maintenance of the road.  Previous discussions between SSOA (Silver Shekel Owners Association) and the County have resulted in an understanding that SSOA will be responsible for the maintenance of the road in order to avoid a possible permanent closure.

There is a sensitive relationship between the secondary and rear entrances for emergency vehicle access and general traffic circulation.  If a permanent closure of the secondary entrance were to be required, this could trigger the construction and opening of the rear entrance.

The goal of SSOA is to continue the regular maintenance of the secondary entrance similar to previous years.  The road presents tough maintenance conditions as discussed above.  Our limited funding only allows for minimal annual maintenance in the spring/early summer, which, as we have seen, is not enough to provide a smooth surface until the following treatment.

Several approaches to repairing the road and minimizing the necessary maintenance have been taken by SSOA over the years.  These include grading of ditches to properly route drainage, addition of road base material, regrading and re-compaction.  These have proven to be short-lived repairs as rutting, washboards, and potholes quickly return after each treatment.

SSOA is actively reviewing the options for this year’s annual maintenance in order to provide the best value for our neighborhood.  While there are no feasible solutions to eliminate our annual maintenance routine (short of a complete road paving project, which is far out of budget), our repairs can be better-tuned to the specific needs of each year.  Some additional treatments we are investigating and considering include:

  • Using recycled asphalt to perform deeper subgrade repairs (i.e. bridge the “soft spots”) to provide better resistance to deformations at the surface.
  • Grading and compaction (with adequatelysized equipment) to prolong the annual treatment by providing a tighter vertical material section.
  • Application of Magnesium Chloride to the surface to create a tighter surface, reducing dust and erosion of the fine particles which act as a “glue” for the road material.

We will be meeting and walking the road with several different contractors to study our case and learn more about repairs on similar roads in our area.  By providing more custom-tailored repairs going forward, we hope to provide a smoother and safer secondary entrance into our neighborhood.

In accordance with social distancing guidelines, at this time adequate physical distancing cannot be achieved.

Marvel Cave

In the beginning, there was Marvel Cave.

Silver Dollar City theme park evolved around the entrance to one of nature's greatest wonders, Marvel Cave. In 1894, Canadian entrepreneur William Henry Lynch and his two daughters, Miriam and Genevieve, opened the cave as an Ozarks tourist attraction. For more than 50 years, Marvel Cave operated as a tourist show cave. In 1950, Hugo Herschend, a Danish immigrant from Chicago, his wife Mary and sons Jack and Peter, leased the cave. By 1960, the Herschends introduced their 1880s Ozark Mountain Village, Silver Dollar City theme park. The theme park was literally built around the entrance to Marvel Cave, upon the foundations of a genuine 1800s mining town - Marmaros.

The Early Days of "The Devil's Den"

Around 1500 AD, the Osage Indians were the first to discover Marvel Cave. Hearing strange noises arising from deep within the entrance, the Indians feared the cave, never entered it, and named it "The Devil's Den." In 1541, Spanish explorers entered the cave hoping to uncover riches and possibly the fountain of youth. Then, in 1869 explorers descended into the cave looking for priceless mineral deposits. Led by Henry T. Blow, a St. Louis lead industry leader, the party traveled by horseback to the entrance of Devil's Den. One by one, the miners lowered themselves over 200 feet down into the vast unknown blackness. They carried lanterns for light and spent hours studying the cave walls carefully searching for signs of mineral deposits. The miners returned to the surface late that evening having failed to discover the lead ore they sought, but convinced that marble could be found inside the cave. Their report sparked the interest of area locals who decided to rename the cave, Marble Cave. It was not until after Mr. Lynch's death in 1927, that the cave's name was changed from Marble to Marvel Cave. In fact, no marble was ever mined from Marble Cave, only bat guano.

Take a Marvelous Tour!

When visiting Silver Dollar City, a tour of Marvel Cave is always included with your ticket, with tours departing approximately every half hour, weather permitting. Marvel Cave is a wet limestone cave, complete with formations that are still alive and growing! To begin, you will travel 300 feet below the surface and enter the Cathedral Room. The breathtakingly beautiful Cathedral Room is the largest cave entrance room in the United States. The visitors' trail consists of stairs and ramps. The tour lasts approximately 60 minutes, with most of that time spent descending and climbing stairs. The strenuous nature of the tour requires us to not recommend the tour for visitors with heart or lung conditions, bad backs, weak knees or ankles. A trained cave guide will host your journey and provide you with interesting and entertaining anecdotes of historical or geographical importance.

After descending nearly 500 feet below the surface, how do you get back up to daylight? In 1957, cave operators installed a unique cable train designed to take cave visitors up the half mile, 1070 foot climb back to the surface!

Gantry 5

British justice has just refused the legitimate power of Venezuela access to 31 tons of gold that Venezuela holds in the Bank of England and which belong to the Venezuelan people!
To give it to whom? To Juan Guaido, self-proclaimed President propelled by the USA and supported by Westerners including France.

This Guaido who proclaimed himself president on January 23, 2019 is recognized by around fifty countries including France. He is just a fascist putschist in the service of his master: the USA!
This Juan Guaido “grand bourgeois” high roller disappoints including those who had placed great hopes in him to overthrow the government for the benefit of imperialists and is starting to disappoint even his US sponsors. He is a shady unsavory character with a strong dictatorial soul in the manner of Pinochet and who, according to the Latin American press, even rubs shoulders with narco traffickers!
The Venezuelan authorities have appealed, they intend to use this gold in agreement with the UN for a food program aimed at the poorest!
This episode speaks volumes about the mire in which imperialist countries wallow when it comes to bringing to heel the peoples who refuse the dictatorship of capital!

In the “Strategic Review of Defense and National Security” which reported in 2017 on France's policy in this matter, E. Macron put it this way: “We have entered an era of great turbulence. For the most part, the risks and threats we face were not unknown to us, but their manifestations have accelerated, their effects have amplified and come closer. "

The least that can be said is that this appreciation could only be reinforced by the events that have occurred since 2017 which reflect a significant rise in global tensions with a more frequent use of force, while all the major and regional powers are increasing their military budgets. At the same time, the disengagement of the United States from a number of important treaties on the regulation and mutual surveillance of weapons, particularly nuclear weapons, has accelerated and materialized. This finding is not just a figment of our imagination. In a June 26 interview with the newspaper "Le Monde", German Chancellor A. Merkel put it this way: “We believe that NATO is of great value to each of the member states. We in Germany know that we have to spend more on defense; we have achieved considerable increases in recent years, and we will continue on that path to enhance our military capabilities. American troops in Germany help to protect not only Germany and the European part of NATO but also the interests of the United States of America. Look at the world; look at China or India: there are compelling reasons to remain committed to a transatlantic defense community and our shared nuclear umbrella. But of course Europe needs to carry more of the burden than during the cold war. We grew up in the certain knowledge that the United States wanted to be the leading world power. Should the US now wish to withdraw from that role of its own free will, we would have to reflect on that very deeply."
The convergence between the two biggest powers of the European Union is clear: integration into NATO under US supervision and significant increase in their own defense effort. It is on this basis that France and the Federal Republic of Germany advocate a relative integration of their means of defense at European level. For France, nuclear deterrence is an asset of its power strategy and its place on the UN Security Council where it is one of the five permanent members (China, United States, Russian Federation, France and United Kingdom) gives it significant international weight since it has a right of veto. Until now, the disposition and the organization of the French forces have been designed for interventions on territories of foreign countries and especially in what is called "asymmetric" wars. Terrorism is often the pretext for these interventions. Thus, within NATO or UN operations France has participated in the wars against Serbia, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya... and maintains it operational troops in the African Sahel. Its presence in the territories where it maintains a colonial presence, ensures it a capacity of intervention in practically all the maritime zones of the world. French imperialism always acts in the interests of the predominantly French capitalist monopolies and especially in Africa (see the article on Mali in Weekly No. 670). But the situation, when imperialism was largely dominated by the USA in the "cold" war against the socialist countries and in the first place the USSR, is changing. The emergence of countries and especially in Asia with China which take their place in the imperialist system and aspire to a redistribution of the world, leads to even stronger competition from capitalist monopolies and therefore to even more violent clashes of interests within the imperialist system, for the domination of weak nations, the control of natural mineral and agro-food resources, the communication channels, the workforce...This observation leads to a shift in the defense strategy.
Thus, on June 17, General Burkhard, Army Chief of Staff (CEMAT) clarified the guidelines for the Army during a hearing by the Defense Committee of the National Assembly. Previously in the "letter from CEMAT", he had outlined the strategic evolution which can be summarized as follows:“Hard conflicts between States remain […] possible even probable. More than ever, the Army must be ready to produce military power from the outset to face an unexpected danger, knowing how to withstand shocks with resilience." These “hard conflicts” between States take place in a context “above all marked by uncertainty, reinforced by many recent geopolitical upheavals” and “accentuated by the fact that Europeans find it difficult to conceive and organize by themselves the conditions of a collective defense of their continent”. Thus, what is now envisaged is wars between States, that is, direct confrontations between imperialist powers. This is a major shift in France’s military strategy. The tensions and confrontations within the imperialist system have therefore reached a point where open war between States is conceived as a means of prevailing in the fierce competition between capitalist monopolies. The only way to stop moving down that road which leads to disaster is to fight for the independence of nations, disarmament and peace and that is to put an end to the capitalist system, to fight it and bring it down because as Jean Jaurès said in his time:"Capitalism carries war like the cloud carries a storm". Let’s recall that after this declaration there were two world wars killing tens of millions!

At first glance the policy of the Turkish state seems quite contradictory if not incomprehensible.
Thus, Turkey is an important pillar of NATO in the Mediterranean and according to the newspaper "The times of Israel" the American army stores there around 50 tactical nuclear bombs in Incirlik in the south of Turkey, 110 km from the border with Syria.

At the same time, Turkey is equipping itself with Russian anti-aircraft missiles. In Syria, it plays an active military role by occupying part of Syrian territory and by supporting armed groups which wage war for its benefit against the central Syrian power allied with the Russians. We find Turkey in Libya, very committed to the government of Tripoli against that of Marshal Haftar in the South supported by Russia, the Arab quartet and... France. These commitments have nothing ideological but are all about the will of the Turkish power to impose itself as a regional power by taking part for its capitalist groups in the plundering of the mineral wealth of the region and especially in Syria and Libya and by bargaining with the highest bidder its strategic location in the Mediterranean. Second-tier power compared to those clashing in the Near and Middle East, according to the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), it tries to secure a place into the mesh of the imperialist system:“The pragmatic policy of the AKP, based on daily maneuvers in the meshes of the imperialist system and its oscillations between the imperialist powers, is losing ground. "because adds the TKP: “The country is experiencing an economic crisis, with unprecedented levels of domestic and external debt. Erdoğan tries to restore his political negotiating power by intimidating other countries, such as actions against France in Libya, military actions on Syrian territory or nationalist conflicts against Greece; but it is obvious that this power is far too limited to frighten the great powers or imperialist alliances, the United States, the EU, NATO and others.”
We find the same analysis grid for the president of Geopragma: Caroline Galactéros, who indicates:"Turkey's unique role is akin to that of a true 'American proxy in the region'.While she does not dispute that Ankara enjoys a certain independence from Washington, Turkey's rise in power remains, according to her, " allowed by his American ally in order to counter the Russian influence, a great enemy of NATO. However, Turkish positions and interests too often diverge with those of other alliance partners. This is currently the case with France and the European Union.
In the Eastern Mediterranean, not far from the Libyan coast, France and Turkey, two prominent members of the alliance, opposed each other while claiming to have acted under the NATO banner."
All this brings us back to the basic question: those of the interests of Turkish capitalism. The Turkish big bourgeoisie and its allies need a strong state muzzling the opposition and especially the working class. To do so there is nothing better than the use of religion to cement national unity. Erdoğan’s AKP, which has ruled Turkey for many years and is the expression of Turkish employers, intends to rally the people on this ground. The AKP is not the only one, all the parties representing the factions of the Turkish bourgeoisie are united around this issue. This is what the Communist Party of Turkey recalls about the transformation of Hagia Sophia into a mosque: “The current debate on the transformation of Hagia Sophia into a mosque was reintroduced by İYİP through a proposal to parliament (The Good Party is a fascist type formation), partner of the social-democratic CHP member of the Socialist International and associate member of the European Socialist Party in the parliamentary opposition alliance,...This proposal has received the support of many members of the opposition parties, such as former CHP presidential candidate Muharrem İnce and the current mayors of major cities, who are affiliated with the opposition. It has not been criticized at all by the opposition from the start. On the contrary, some representatives of the opposition, including members of the pro-Kurdish HDP, expressed their enthusiasm to pray under the roof of Hagia Sophia. "
The capitalist class of Turkey uses religion to maintain and consolidate its class domination. Given the deep economic crisis in the country, poverty, unemployment, desperation and the enormous discontent of the workers, the capitalist class is trying to prevent the politicization of the workers from gaining momentum. The Saint Sophia affair is therefore essentially political; it is an affirmation of the will of the Turkish bourgeoisie to impose its dictatorship under the guise of religion, including by calling into question the progressive values of the bourgeois revolution of 1923, namely republicanism, secularism and modernity.

The annexation to Israel of much of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley, currently Palestinian territory controlled by the Israeli military, was a mainstay of the election campaign of Likud, B. Netanyahu's party. With his mate Gantz of the White Blue party, they sealed a government agreement mentioning this annexation.

This annexation plan is sponsored by the United States. It was touted as a "peace plan" but outside of the US and Israel it has not convinced many people.
The Palestinians are against it and they are right; the Arab countries, most of whom have established relations with Israel, although without commitment, do not defend it. The European Union sees in it more disadvantages than advantages and halfheartedly rejects it, by refusing sanctions it keeps to a minimum; China, India and Russia have already expressed their opposition to the plan; finally, the UN recalls that annexation is contrary to international law.
In Israel itself, and well beyond the Communists and the Joint List, voices are being raised, including in the military and security hierarchy, to advise caution and to ensure that the risks involved in such an annexation are understood. Indeed, if "technically" the annexation is relatively easy to settle due to the Israeli military control of these territories, it poses, among other things, the political question of the future of the population concerned. As the Israeli authorities do not intend to grant Israeli nationality to annexed non-Jewish populations, this would openly result in a state of apartheid, a source of exacerbated conflict and the outcome of which would be unpredictable.
While the Israeli government hesitates, has it changed course? The answer is no. The plan to annex all of Palestine is in the founding act of Israel as conceived by the right and left Zionists.
This orientation has resulted in a territorial expansion at the expense of the Palestinian territory in defiance of international agreements and with the unwavering support of the Western imperialist powers, USA in the lead.
This perceptible hesitation simply means that Israeli imperialism is sensitive to pressure and this pressure needs to be increased if the national rights of the Palestinian people are to be finally recognized.
This is so true that Israel’s powerful supporters in France are losing their composure and doing everything they can to turn the Palestinian people's just struggle and support into an act of terrorism. The last translation of this behavior into action comes from Toulouse where responding to a demonstration of the Palestine collective that he could not bear, the president of Midi Pyrénées of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF) calls on authorities to demand a ban on demonstrations, even threatening the demonstrators with the use of force against them. The CRIF, which claims to represent the Jews of France, is in reality on marked reactionary positions and cannot claim to represent all the Jews of France, many of whom identify with progressive organizations that fight for a just peace in Palestine.

About This Class

Leaders and Startups love this Course:

★★★★★  "Way above my expectations! Brian is REALLY knowledgeable about the whole area of marketing and the current state of the digital marketing industry, this is a guy who has ACTUALLY worked in the industry and is not just selling a course based on something he read in a book! This will really help anyone to become a true marketing leader!" - Erick Cardoso

★★★★★  "This is the best marketing masterclass so far. I've taken dozens of online courses in various e-learning websites. No matter you are a beginner or a marketing pro, this course will both give you a ready-to-go checklist for creating your own marketing strategy, and freshen up your marketing skills." - Nano Mardoyan

★★★★★  "The best of the best .... I think his Point of view will last for the next 50 years about the content. Professional and to the point. I`m really glad I know such a great brain of marketing. Note: I've taken more than 50x about marketing and content and you are one of the first ...You know what is my pain point and you deliver it." - Asem Al Sardy

Knowing WHY and WHEN to perform certain marketing tasks is the million dollar question for most businesses.

Anyone can learn how to post to social, write a blog post, or learn what SEO is, but quantity is not what works. What works are people who actually know WHY and WHEN certain marketing activities work.

That's the purpose of this course. By the end, you will have developed an actual marketing strategy, your own personal marketing playbook, that will guide you and your brand into the right marketing activity.

Think about it - no more guessing or assuming. You will be able to inform others and act personally based on the correct information!

★★★★★  "After finishing Session 1 of this course, I have a better understanding of the "WHY" of digital marketing efforts. This course gives you a compass and a map you can refer to plan your marketing activities. Most of the marketing courses I took so far focus more on the tactics --how to rank well on Search Engines, get more visitors on Social Media -- without giving you the tools you need to really plan those activities for optimal ROI. Knowing "How to" is good, but knowing "Why" is even greater because you can chart a better path and keep the eyes on metrics to make the necessary corrections. So, I'm religiously taking this course to implement the concepts taught, and to remove any guesswork when it comes to investing some marketing dollars." - Majonka Diokou

Three reasons to take this course:

  1. You get lifetime access to lectures, including new lectures every month (content is added/updated constantly).

  2. You can ask me questions and see me respond to every single one of them thoughtfully!

  3. What you will learn in this course is original, tested, and very detailed! It comes from years of graduate-level education and 20+ of marketing leadership experience across dozens of industries.

There are plenty of people who can teach you shortcuts and fast tactics.

This is a course for people who are truly willing to understand marketing strategy. A course for people who would rather do it right than hustle and hassle people. Once you work your way through these 200 lessons, your strategy will become more clear, your empathy will deepen and you'll begin to see the market as it is, instead of merely wishing it to be what you want. You will have your own complete marketing playbook!! No more guessing.

★★★★★  "Amazing course, best delivery, up-to-date, and very specific - no extra blah blah" - Malik Waqas

The Marketing Leadership Masterclass is split into 6 different online sessions, each focusing on a different aspect of marketing leadership.

In Session 1 we will focus on Building Your Model.

As you may know, more and more marketers are constantly under pressure to justify their marketing effectiveness, prove ROI, and create efficiency at scale. Since most marketing today is digital marketing, all the digital tools available make this task easier.

To do this well, every brand should have a model for how they track consumers from anonymous visitor all the way to loyal customer and promoter. The goal of building a model is to ensure that you have a way to track and measure every primary step a consumer takes during the buying journey. Without a model you will simply be guessing at which marketing tasks will be the most effective.

The benefit of having multiple models of historical numbers is that you are then able to build out future scenarios by which you can more accurately gauge ROI, create efficiency at scale, and identify opportunities for marketing activities on each channel.

What are the requirements?

  • No experience or audience required.
  • Suitable for all types of businesses (digital product, physical product, service, B2B, B2C).

Why take this Course?

  • Become a Leader - Learn how to think & act like a strategic marketing leader.
  • Modern Marketing - The world of marketing is in constant flux. Don’t get left behind.
  • “Why” of Marketing - Learn the “Why” of marketing rather than just the “How.”

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Practical theory - Great marketers and great entrepreneurs are great learners. We’ll cover the theory that you need to understand to drive your own Demand Gen program.
  • Hands on - Throughout the course, we give you multiple opportunities to slow down and apply what you have learned by building out the real-world plan that your company needs.
  • Peer Learning - Your instructors are peers, start-up founders and fellow marketers with decades of tangible experience in every stage and level of an organization.

What is the Target Audience?

  • Business Owners - Increase your business revenue, sales pipeline, and ROI by building out transformative demand generation programs that actually work.
  • Startups - Leverage proven marketing processes and practices to establish and increase your user-base and business revenue.
  • Marketers - Increase your current marketing knowledge by learning the most effective tactics, best practices, and processes.

Go from Beginner to Advanced

No matter what level of marketer you are, you will go from beginner to advanced marketing leader as we walk you through building your own model.

All the strategies, tips and tools recommended are either included, free or very cost effective.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Be aware of Orlando Hernandez & VMHG

  2. Orlando Hernandez The  company, Victory Marine Holdings Corp. is headed by Orlando Hernandez. The company and its director can best be described, in a word, as a shark. This fraudster Orlando, signed a contract with Steinberg Valentino and is now liable for breach of contract. This disreputable creature Orlando Hernandez goes about cheating money from companies that deal with him.

  3. Orlando Hernandez & VMHG

  4. Orlando Hernandez & VMHG The Victory Yachts is a complete hoax, run by a Thief of a director who loots the other companies after trapping them in contracts. One of the company that this hyena i.e Orlando has recently entrapped is our own company, Steinberg Valentino. Steinberg Valentino had business investor relationship with VMHG. Orlando Hernandez The villain Orlando Hernandez purposely stated in the contract that payment would be done after the work is finished. A beautiful manipulation and a web of deceit since these villains had no intention of paying at all as we found later. Despite our professionalism and efficient  work performance, they saw fit to make fools out of us.

  5. Orlando Hernandez Steinberg Valentino after accomplishing its job, requested payment from Victory Marine Holdings Corp. In short, VMHG did not pay and started evading calls. An invoice of five thousand dollars were sent to them which they completely ignored. When we became insistent, they became quite nasty and rude. Their demeanour was down right violent and abusive. We then contacted Orlando Hernandez, an absolute scoundrel. He showed his true colours and started yelling on the phone.

  6. Orlando Hernandez & VMHG Dealing with VMHG has been very detrimental to Steinberg Valentino. Orlando Hernandez looted us out of our rightfully earned money. Our company has suffered a loss of five thousand dollars. This trashy VMHG and this Orlando Rascal owes Steinberg Valentino money. Also, this Rascal and Co were highly unprofessional, coarse and rude in their dealings. They were a complete waste of our energy and time.

  7. Orlando Hernandez & VMHG https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/orlando-hernandez/fl-miami-33138/orlando-hernandez-is-a-manipulating-rascal-beware-of-this-scoundrel-and-his-company-vict-1474747 Anyone who wants to work with this Fraudster company should do so at their own risk. It would definitely be wiser to avoid these backstabbing, vile and low life thieves altogether. They are nothing but a bunch of rogues running this trashy company. All they are fit for is how to cheat hard working and honest men out of their money. Their business ethics and morals are wholly non existent. Their tactic is to entrap the other company into fulfilling their part of the deal. The moment they get what they wanted, they make a run for it similar to a shoplifter or a pickpocket. Asking Orlando Hernandez for payment has been equivalent to tracking down thieves to retrieve the stolen money. Apart from this, the Orlando rascal tried intimidation tactics just like back alley thugs to avoid payment and get away with fraud. Steinberg Valentino is really disgusted to have had business dealings with this despicable company.

Areas in regional Victoria – rising or declining?

Areas in regional Victoria – rising or declining?

by Sasha Karen 20 July 2017 1 minute read

Domain Group has released its State of the Market Report – Regional, looking at activities in regional Victoria to see how median house prices and rent prices are doing over the June quarter and the year to date.

Victoria map
July 20, 2017

The report, which focuses on Victoria, NSW and Queensland, looks at the major regional areas and analyses regional properties’ median house prices and rent prices.

To see how key regional areas in Queensland did over the June quarter and the year to date, click here.

We break down the report and look at how properties in regional Victoria are faring below:

Ballarat – rising

The report states a strong price growth in Ballarat over the June quarter with a median house price rising 7.1 per cent and a 12.3 per cent rise year-on-year, up $340,000.

Median house rents maintained over the quarter, but have risen over the last year, at $290 per week.

“Ballarat had the second highest annual growth rate of all Victorian regions, said Domain chief economist, Dr Andrew Wilson.

“Such strong quarterly and annual results suggest that the local market is in revival mode. Demand in the area is being driven by buyers looking for value in regional Victoria, and momentum is likely to continue.”

Greater Bendigo – rising

Greater Bendigo saw a rise in house prices, albeit on a minute scale with a rise of 0.1 per cent over the June quarter and increased 3.5 per cent over last year to $350,000.

Median house rents stayed steady for both the quarter and the year, holding at $300 per week.

“The marginal increase in Bendigo’s median house prices is a reflection of the region’s local economic growth, and the region can expect continued demand from buyers,” Dr Wilson said.

Greater Geelong – rising

Greater Geelong median house values experienced a record high of $466,750 this June quarter, rising 3.7 per cent and increasing 11.1 per cent over the year.

Median house rents held over the quarter, and have increased 4.5 per cent over the year, at $350 per week.

There has been a strong quarter of house price growth in Geelong, Dr Wilson said.

“The region has one of the highest annual growth rates of all Victorian regions. Geelong is becoming an increasingly popular option for Melbourne buyers looking for affordable property and a more laid-back lifestyle.”

Greater Shepparton – declining

Greater Shepparton’s median house values declined 5.5 per cent over the June quarter and 3.7 per cent over the year to $260,000.

Median house values also declined by 0.9 per cent over the quarter and 1.0 per cent over the year to $288 per week.

Greater Shepparton’s median house price fell substantially over the June quarter, following a general trend for the year, said Dr Wilson.

“It remains to be seen whether the region will bounce back.”

Mildura – declining

Like Greater Shepparton, Mildura generally trended downwards, but there is a chance of a bounce back. Median house prices in the area declined by 3 per cent over the quarter, but held over the year, at $260,000.

Median house rents were more stable, holding for both over the quarter and the year at $300 per week.

"Housing market activity in Mildura slowed over the June quarter, but the region remains a steady tourist destination and is likely to level out in the coming months,” said Dr Wilson.

Surf Coast – rising

Surf Coast’s median house values greatly rose to 4.8 per cent for the quarter and 15.6 per cent for the year to $770,000.

Median house rents are also up, holding steady for the quarter but rising 6.7 per cent for last year to $480 per week.

Substantial population growth and an increase in buyer and seller activity resulted in a booming year for Surf Coast. All signs point to further growth in this coastal region,” Dr Wilson said.

Warrnambool – rising

Warrnambool saw median house values holding steady over the quarter, but rising solidly over last year to 7.7 per cent to $349,900.

Median rent prices, like median house values, held steady for the quarter but rising over last year by 6.5 per cent to $330 per week.

After an extended period of momentum, house prices in Warrnambool levelled out over the June quarter, said Dr Wilson.

“Heading into the warmer months, the region’s desirable coastal location suggests we could see a return to growth toward the end of the year.”

Wodonga – declining

Wodonga’s median house prices declined over the June quarter by 3.9 per cent, yet rose over last year by 1.6 per cent to $320,000.

Median house rents have held for both the quarter and last year at $330 per week.

Following a brief period of house price growth, the median house price in Wodonga declined over the June quarter, Dr Wilson said.

“However, the region continues to be a popular option for buyers looking for a tree-change. A return to price growth depends on the strength of the local economy.”

Coding for Kids: 10 Best Tools to Get Started

For many students all around the globe, coding is more than just a trend, itâ€™s a way of life. From elementary school classrooms to summer camps, coding has been a popular topic in recent years and itâ€™s no wonder so many parents are searching for the best programs out there for their kids. Coding is a great way for children to learn basic computer skills, challenge themselves, and unleash their creativity in a productive and exciting way.

If your children want to learn coding, you might be wondering where to start. To learn coding, your kids donâ€™t need any special equipment. For most of the coding programs out there, all they need is a cell phone, ipad, computer, or similar device.

There are so many tools out there but if you donâ€™t know where to start, weâ€™re here to point you in the right direction. Hereâ€™s a list of the top 10 coding tools for kids:

10 Best Coding Tools for Kids

1. Root Coding

Root Coding is a great starting place for kids who want to learn to program. Not only are there activities and challenges throughout the app, but there are also step-to-step tutorials to guide your child through the learning process. Although there is an annual subscription available for additional content, there are plenty of tutorials and activities available to test out if youâ€™re not ready to purchase the subscription.

2. Kodable

Kodable is an educational app that is available for download on iOS devices. This tool uses outer-space based games to teach kids in K-5th grade about programming. Itâ€™s similar to other programming apps but what makes Kodable standout is the curriculum thatâ€™s included for teachers. The curriculum and tutorials available make it a great resource for teachers or parents who are learning alongside their kids.

3. Scratch Jr.

Scratch Jr. is another great app for beginning programmers and is designed specifically for kids between the ages of five and seven. The interface is very kid-friendly and the purpose of this coding app is for the user to bring the scenes in the app to life. The features in the app are simple to use, but children may get the most use out of it if youâ€™re able to guide through it. Once they get a feel for how it works, theyâ€™ll be creating their own scenes in no time.

4. Tynker

Tynker is a coding app designed for the iPad that is great for younger children who are interested in programming. Most of the learning in the app is strictly visual, which makes it great for beginners and for children who havenâ€™t learned to read yet. There are over 2,000 activities available in Tynker, and the app is designed to grow with the child as they continue to learn and develop new programming skills. There is also another version of the app called Tynker Jr. that is designed for kids ages five to seven.

5. Hopscotch

Hopscotch is another learning program designed for the iPad and is great for kids ages ten and up. This app has a little less structure than some of the other resources, which allows children to use the app to be creative and explore different aspects of computer programming. With the character-based design of the app, children can use their imagination while also learning useful skills and sharing their work with other app users.

6. Spritebox Coding

Spritebox Coding is a puzzle-based platform for kids ages seven and up. Itâ€™s available on both iOS and Android devices and the app teaches kids coding by helping them build a spaceship. Sprite is a robot in the app that helps students complete over 70 puzzles. As the puzzles grow more challenging, kids will develop their programming skills and will begin to learn real coding language and concepts. Spritebox is a really useful tool to help younger kids familiarize themselves with coding and help them develop an interest in computer science.

7. Code.org

Code.org is a non-profit organization that has many different programs available for kids of all ages and skill levels. All of their courses are free, and itâ€™s a great resource for kids in K-12th grade and also for educators who like to teach computer science. Code.org is used by 40 percent of students in the US with 45 percent of their students being female and 50 percent being underrepresented minorities. The founder of Code.org believes everyone should have the opportunity to learn computer programming and their courses are used in over 180 countries.

8. Codakid

Codakid is an online coding program that offers many different self-paced programming courses and over 500 hours of activities for kids. This resource is designed to teach kids of all levels and continue to challenge those who are eager to learn. At Codakid, they focus on kids having fun while coding and using their imagination to create. Codakid teaches using real programming language and offers both a monthly and annual subscription.

9. Codesters

Codesters is a great learning tool that is designed for upper elementary or middle school students who are learning to code. The platform is relatively easy to use but is best suited for students in 4th-8th grade. What makes Codesters unique is it teaches text-based coding to kids using real programming language. The learning takes place on the Codesters website, and includes tutorials designed to help students learn based on their skill level.

10. Lightbot

An app designed for older children and teenagers, Lightbot is an excellent resource for kids who are interested in learning the ins and outs of computer programming. Players learn in this puzzle-type app by moving a robot through a maze by giving it programmed commands. With each new level, the maze gets even harder, giving the player new opportunities to learn programming concepts.

The next Marine Corps commercial? Combat footage and these pics of 4th AABn doing work!

Thanks to John for the pics!

Drink in those pics above.

Tap on the shoulder of some bubba at HQMC or Marine Corps recruiting command.  Get them to take notice.

Small rant?  I am SO FUCKING TIRED of the milktoast Marine Corps recruiting commercials.  They don't sing.  They don't inspire.  They don't move.  In short you don't watch the stuff they've been pumping out and feel your soul stir.

You want to get Marine Corps commercials back on track?  You get some combat footage of our boys hookin' and jabbin' in Afghanistan and Iraq...and then you toss in these pics.

I'm gonna beat on this drum for two reasons.  The first is that I'm ashamed that the Marine Corps wasn't forward leaning.  Someone should have been ready to get these units deploying.  The couple of news blurbs of MV-22's passing thru Pensacola on the way to Texas IS WEAK SAUCE.  The aviation centric Marine Corps has failed again and the concept is trash (remember the HA/DR that the Marine Corps participated in where a UH-1Y crashed into the mountain...that was the first'll perform poorly in combat too...MARK MY WORDS!).

The second is that the Marine Corps missed a huge opportunity (although the 4th AABn is picking up the slack) to be seen aiding fellow Americans.  National Guard?  US Customs?  Border Patrol?  US Coast Guard?  US Navy? US Army?  All visible.

Thank God we had tracks moving to the sound of chaos or else we would be an afterthought!

The sacred symbolism of a football shirt is remarkably unique. A direct connection between fans and clubs, many of us like to add a few custom touches to our kit. Documenting this with beautiful style is that of Chris Read. A photographer and Arsenal fan who has caught many a custom creation, this series of shots is a work of sheer beauty, regardless of which team you follow.

In weaving a little closer to the heat pressed type that washes these shirts, we caught up with Chris to find out a little more about the project.

Some description

You have captured so many incredible shirts - what kick started the project?

"A few years ago I treated myself to a season ticket and would go every week with a couple mates. I always had a point and shoot with me and just fancied doing some kind of personal project focusing on Arsenal in some way. I had of course seen customised shirts in the past and appreciated them, so once I was going regularly, I just started shooting them when I saw them. Now it's turned into a minor obsession, going to games hours before, trawling pubs, reaching out to sites and magazines looking for some help, feeding the addiction essentially."

Has it given you a fresh appreciation for football shirts? You must find yourself looking at visiting team fans' shirts as much as Arsenal shirts?

"I've always been a massive fan of football shirts - anything around the late 70's early 90's was such a great period for shirts. Italian clubs in particular have always had it going on shirt wise, Fiorentina's purple, Juve's pink shirts from a few years ago, the 80's AC shirts, style for days."

Some description

Do you personalise your shirts?

"I don't actually, in fact I rarely wear them, ha."

Football shirts are almost spiritual objects, would you say adding an extra slice of customisation in this way helps people connect with their club that little bit more?

"Oh absolutely, fan engagement with each other, rivals and obviously their team and players is what makes football what it is. From songs and chants, to flags and banners, football has always had a very 'punk, DIY' feeling which really appeals to me. I think creating some personality and individuality by customising quite a uniformed item of clothing shoes an extra level of love for your team and almost respect to your fellow fan."

What's been your favourite that you've spotted?

"'I told my wife the Arsenal was and still is my first love.' Amazing."

Some description

If there's one thing you would write on a shirt to summarise this season for Arsenal fans, what would it be?

"We're by far the most mentally fragile team, the world has ever seen."

What's next for the project? Is there somewhere you'd like to take it? It would make a beautiful book.

"I'd love to make it a book, that's been the focus for a little while, if any publishers or anyone at the club want to get in contact and help make it happen please do. One other thing is Arsenal have an exercise they call 'the Arsenalisation of the stadium' which sound horrendous but actually is something badly needed. I'd love to see the images printed big and pasted around the stadium, maybe asking other fans to submit their shirts and also to encourage more people to customise their shirts."

Is there anything else you do around Football outside of the project, do you play at all?

"I don't play but as a director I work with a lot of footballers. Working with various brands I've shot Ronaldinho, Tevez, Pique, Hazard, James Rodriguez and Hummels to name a few. It's always a pleasure and travelling and meeting great players is definitely the best aspect of my job."

Some description

Utterly tremendous. You can see more of Chris' work here.

Young's Diving Causes Consternation

Ashley Young is once again at the centre of a diving controversy, after his Superman impression against Crystal Palace last weekend.

The England winger was shown a yellow card after his audacious attempt to win a penalty by seeking out Kagisho Dikgacoi’s leg to throw himself over.

Later in the game he did win a penalty against the South African, who was subsequently sent off.

The debate is raging over the rectitude of KG’s red card, but the football world is unanimous that Young’s cheating has gone too far.

Not for the first time, even his own manager has called on him to cut it out.

Alex Ferguson was suitably embarrassed by Young’s diving last season, and now David Moyes has called for players to be punished after the fact, in order for diving to be stamped out.

He says he has spoken to Young about his predilection to hit the deck, but that he cannot guarantee that the winger will not go on cheating.

And Young’s team-mate, Rio Ferdinand, has also slammed the act of diving, saying that harsher measures need to be taken in football to stop crafty players from hamming it up.

"You can never be sure it won't happen again but I have had a word with him privately," Moyes said, regarding Young’s aquatic adventures.

"I have said for many years that we should have retrospective video action against diving.

"That would help referees no end. My views haven't changed from when I was at Everton to when I was at Manchester United."

Ferdinand added: "The forwards are cute.

“They know how to do this kind of stuff. It is quite a difficult thing to look at and say: 'He dived.' But retrospective viewings and punishments may be the way to go."

There have even been calls from some disgusted quarters for players to be shown straight red cards for diving.

What do you think the punishment for diving should be? Tell us in the comments section below.

Dealing with disrespectful tweens

Dealing with disrespectful tweens

Share this article:

TOH SMALL 11Dear Housewife:

Do you have suggestions for promoting the respectful exchange of ideas with 11 and 12 year olds when there are differences of opinion?

– Dealing with Disrespectful Tweens

Dear Dealing:

Your child should be happy this isn’t my dad’s time. My dad is 82, and in his day, children had NO OPINIONS and NO IDEAS!  They were to be seen and not heard, do as they were told, and of course, “do as I say and not as I do.”  Violation of these rules guaranteed them a trip out to the woodshed!   However, since it is 2014 and not 1931, I would make the following recommendations, because, after all …

Disrespectful tweens need guidance.

Often children model what they see.  Make sure that there isn’t a little “do as I say and not as I do” at play.  Be sure that you and your wife are respectful to one another when discussing differing opinions. Your child could be modeling their communication style after one of you.  Next, you may want to create ground rules for communication in your home, similar to Roberts Rules of Order.  You can even have a little fun with it and name the rules after your family. For example, you can call it “Brown’s Rules of Order,” or “Jackson’s Rules of Order.”  Have your child participate in the creation of these rules, to give them a sense of ownership.  Post your communication guidelines in a visible place, like the refrigerator.   Guidelines of respect, courtesy, love, patience, and self-control should be the foundation for all types of communication in the home, and not just when there are differences of opinion.  Most importantly, the entire family should be accountable for your newly created rules of order, and not just your child.

Fraud detection and Prevention measures

If you are from the market research industry, chances are high that you may have dealt with various fraudulent activities that take place. The tools and technologies that are used to make our industry effective and efficient are also making easier for the scheming activities to happen. But how do we recognize the problem? What measures can we take to mitigate such deceitful behavior? Read on to find out.

What the big F looks like? With the ever-increasing demand of online sampling, the need to recruit participants has also gone up. While conducting a study online involving participants from various geo locations is easy, it comes with its share of problems. Sometimes survey respondents – whether eligible or ineligible participate multiple times. Since the research is internetbased it provides a distance between researchers and participants, allowing the latter are identity to be anonymous and thus respond to questions more honestly. However, the convenience and anonymity provided by online research allow the respondents to answer more than once, making the results skewed and the study irrelevant. When there is a reward/compensation involved in an online study, participants tend to answer repeatedly to benefit more. Often, when a respondent loses his/her interest halfway through the study, chances of inconsistent responses increase. Encrypted IP location, fake personal information, internet cookies, scripted behavior around automated emails all constitute fraudulent activity.

‘Prevention is better than cure’ and we agree. The traditional tools like captcha, honey pots, and open-ended questions don’t cut the deal. With evolving times, the prevention measures also need to involve and that’s exactly what happens at Solugo. When we say we are Differentiated by Technology, we mean it. Our six-step security protocol prevents any kind of fraud that may occur. To ensure the identity of the respondent, we use interface to print unique data points from the respondent’s system. Using a double opt-in system ensures a credible and fraud-free panel pool. Red herring questions are included in the survey to filter out reward claiming abusers. We use tools device reputation to check whether the respondent’s device in indulged in any fraudulent activity in the past. Our response flagging techniques are used to flag any invalid response. With our sacrosanct security measures, you need not worry about any deceit.

While we ensure quality and credibility to the T, we tighten our belts when it comes to security. We not only ensure the protection of our respondent’s identity but also mitigate any disingenuous behavior making long term associations with both our clients and participants.

Doodle of a human in somatic movement to depict a Feldenkrais practice

What is Somatic Movement? Try this quick and easy practice!

Here is my first humble attempt at a short Somatic Movement video 🙂 I am happy to share with you one of my own daily home practice sequences. I have condensed it down to a summary of movements you can use in your yoga practice or other home practices. The focus of this video is on mobilizing the spine and shoulders, freeing the neck and low back. I like to do this sequence in the morning when I am feeling tight and creaky. It always leaving me feeling balanced and refreshed and ready to start my day. Remember this is a sequence I designed for my body type and mobility level. One size does not fit all when it comes to movement so modify any movements that don’t feel easy and pleasant. No Gain From Strain.

I hope you will enjoy and find some kind of inspiration for developing your own Somatic Movement Home Practice. Feel free to contact me if you would like to work online together to create a sequence customized to your own body-type and mobility level 🙂
