Writing Goals As of 29th July 2021
Nearly a year after attending a writing conference, I narrowed down my goals to three. These are probably the short to long term writing goals for now. I'm going to be doing quarterly updates though I was to focus at one goal at time.
As of 29 July 2021
- Finish my present novel draft
- Get a short story published in a professional market
- Get copy of my books into my local chain booksellers/bookstore/bookshop - ie trade publication
1 - Finish my present novel draft
I’ve been working on this for about two years now, so once I’ve finished this draft, I shall take a break and let it rest before editing.
2- Get a short story published in a woman’s magazine.
This has been a desire for a long time - over a decade now, sometimes latent, other times a burning one. The urge comes and goes, and rarely completely goes away.
I'm reading back copies of the market though I'm not going to focus on this until the I've completed my present novel draft. I find it's a good way to get distracted.
3- Get traditionally published or into my local chain booksellers (shop/ store)
This is probably the most fickle, lofty since, to be fair, that is probably my real goal, to see my book in my local large chain bookseller branch. If I could do it self-publishing, I would but I want to be able to walk in and see my book on display. Hey, it is what it is. I know chicks who just want a big wedding for the dress.
There are three display where I'd love to see my book and frankly the only way would be via a traditional book deal - with a major or independent publisher. There. Shallow and fickle, otherwise, I’m good with Amazon.

DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONALISM IN FRENCH WEST AFRICA
There was a late development of nationalism in French-speaking West African countries.
At a time when the educated elites in British West Africa were challenging colonial rule, and demanding self-government, the elite in French colonial territories were busy struggling for accommodation within the system. Many Africans were elected as members of the French Parliament in Paris.
The first political parties in the French West African colonial territories were formed in the 1930s, several years after the formation of the first political party in British West Africa. These parties were nevertheless, largely ineffective because of the oppressive policies of French colonial administration.
However, two major parties emerged immediately after the Second World War and, they later played important roles in the struggle for the independence of these countries. The two parties were the “Independant d’Outre Mer” (MIO) and the “Rassemblement Democratique Africain” (RDA).
The RDA was a mass organization with branches in all the territories. It demanded equal opportunity for Africans. The RDA collapsed in 1958 but some of its branches in French West Africa remained active. The “Parti Democratique de Guinea” (PGD), or Democratic Party of Guinea, a former branch of the RDA, was the dominant party in Guinea, and it was the party that mobilized the Guineans against the French in the 1958 referendum.
It was the party of former President Sekou Toure. On the other hand, the MIO was elitist and contained mainly African members of the French Parliament. The party demanded for independence for the colonial territories within the French Republic.
Reasons For The Late Development Of Nationalism In French West Africa
There was a late development of nationalism in French West Africa because of the following reasons:
Policy of Assimilation
The aim of the French policy of assimilation was to make Africans imbibe French culture and turn Africans into Frenchmen. With the introduction of this policy, the more an individual acquired the French culture, the greater his opportunities. As French West Africans received French education, they were absorbed into the civil service. Some were also elected as members of the French Parliament.
Africans from the four Senegalese communes and others who had acquired higher education were treated as citizens. They were exempted from forced labour and other inhuman treatment. It was therefore convenient for the educated elites to cooperate with, rather than challenge the French colonial master.
Lack of Educational Facilities
It would appear that there was a deliberate attempt by the French colonial government to restrict access to western education in the territories. For a very long period, the Ecole Normale William Ponty in Dakar remained the only institution of higher learning in the whole of French West Africa. This was quite different from the situation in British West Africa where the colonial government gave great attention to the development of education.
Unpopular Colonial Policies
The innumerable unpopular policies of the colonial government also hindered the early development of nationalism in French West Africa. There were severe restrictions on the right to own and publish newspapers and the “indegenat’ ensured that all those who disobeyed or resisted French rule were subjected to arrest and imprisonment without trial. All these policies had the adverse effect of stifling initiative and discouraging political activism.

Frustrated motorist slaps 81-year-old woman in the face for driving at just 5mph (on her way to visit her husband in a care home)
- Usman Yasin found guilty of hitting Patricia Pearson, 81, as she drove to visit her husband at a care home
Usman Yasin, 30, pictured, was found guilty of hitting 81-year-old Patricia Pearson in a road rage attack after first claiming he acted in self-defence
An elderly woman was badly injured when she was hit across the face by a fellow motorist – for driving too slowly.
Patricia Pearson, 81, had allegedly been driving at 5mph when she became the victim of a road rage attack while on her way to visit her husband at a care home.
Her injuries included a swollen lip, lumps on her forehead and cuts to her cheek.
The other driver, Usman Yasin, 30, was warned he could face jail after being convicted of assaulting Mrs Pearson.
Magistrates heard how Yasin became increasingly frustrated as he travelled behind Mrs Pearson in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, at around 2pm on June 17.
He claimed that she was driving at no more than 5mph.
As the two cars reached a point where the road opened up Yasin darted past Mrs Pearson and pulled in front of her, coming to a stop.
She got out of her car and approached Yasin’s green Peugeot 206, leaning into the window to ask what he was doing. He unleashed a barrage of foul-mouthed abuse, Burton magistrates’ court heard.
Mrs Pearson put her hand towards Yasin’s face in an attempt to make him be quiet, and he swung out an arm and hit her across the face.
The confrontation happened in All Saints Road, Burton upon Trent, pictured, after Yasmin complained the elderly woman was driving too slowly
Yasin, from Burton, then got out of his car and approached the victim, only for bystander David Smith to come between the two and intervene. Frederick Powell, prosecuting, said: ‘Any remorse that he says he has shown is crocodile tears.
'Had it not been for Mr Smith getting in the way, he would have gone after her again.’
Yasin said he acted in self-defence and claimed Mrs Pearson struck the first blow. He admitted striking her with the back of his hand, but denied further accusations of assault.
He said her injuries were a lot worse because of her age. Mrs Pearson, also from Burton, said that when Yasin got out of his car, he pushed her and shook her.
But magistrates accepted that Mrs Pearson, who was said to have been ‘frightened’ by the attack, had become ‘confused’ in her recollection of the events.
Yasin told the court: ‘I am very remorseful. She’s the same age as my grandma. If I had taken a second to think and had just driven on I wouldn’t be here today.’
The case was adjourned until October 10 for a pre-sentence report.

THE FORKS, Maine — The drive south on Troutdale Road along the western shore of Moxie Pond runs through the heart of what Denise Rancourt loves most about this remote area of Somerset County.
Rancourt lives some 2 miles up the single-lane road populated now by mostly snow-covered seasonal homes. She and her husband are here year-round, snowmobiling in the winter, boating in the summer, hunting in the fall and enjoying the quiet. Something new rose right across the road from their property last Tuesday: the first pole of the controversial Central Maine Power corridor project.
For the past several weeks, trucks and equipment rumbled past the Rancourts’ house to clear 75 extra feet for the new project in an existing electric corridor. The traffic was noisy, she said, and disrupted travel for snowmobilers and the small number of year-round residents in the plantation of 23 people as of 2019. She didn’t expect the first pole to be raised until next year, and seeing it took her by surprise.
“We were pretty devastated,” said Rancourt, a vocal corridor opponent who is town clerk, treasurer and tax collector in bordering West Forks. “I just feel like every special part of this area is going to be taken over by power lines and that is just very sad.”
As the project starts, emotions remain high in The Forks and neighboring West Forks about the 145-mile power line called the New England Clean Energy Connect. The towns lie at the epicenter of the most disputed section of the project, where a final 53-mile segment of the project will cut through areas with no existing power lines. The project will take Quebec hydropower to the regional grid.
A court injunction temporarily bans work in that segment, which runs from part of The Forks to Beattie Township on the Canadian border. However, the north end of Moxie Pond where Rancourt lives is in a southerly segment that is being developed through to the Wyman hydroelectric dam in Moscow. A second pole was raised Thursday in Moscow, a spokesperson for CMP parent Avangrid said.
Others like Joe Christopher welcomed the start of construction, saying it is bringing new business to inns, restaurants, gas stations and other shops in the remote area during a pandemic-stalled economy.
There has been little snow this winter, so the extra business from the corridor workers has helped, Christopher said. Corridor crew wearing reflective orange vests stood out among the lunch crowd at the inn the day the pole was put up. Long term, Christopher sees the project as potentially helping with broadband, which will be strung alongside the electric wires and be available to towns in certain areas.
“The project is a good boost for us,” he said.
Just a mile away from the inn, Hawk’s Nest Lodge owner Pete Dostie sees no uptick in business. He said he worries about the final 53 miles of the project and its effect on the woods. Dostie, who also is an assessor for West Forks, signed an affidavit as part of the bid for the injunction.
“We have 6,000 guests a year and a good part of those people go to the top of Coburn Mountain, and now it’s going to look like hell,” Dostie said of the popular snowmobile trail. “No one is happy with it.”
That includes Clifford Stevens, owner of Moxie Outdoor Adventures on Troutdale Road, who is concerned about losing regular customers because the new poles will be visible when they hike, snowmobile or explore on ATVs. It’s hard to attract such repeat customers, who enjoy being in nature and in an area with no internet or cellphones, he said.
“There will be some clients who will choose to go somewhere else because it won’t be the same,” he said.
Stevens was not part of Western Mountains & Rivers Corp., a nonprofit that stirred controversy by signing an agreement in June 2018 with CMP to offset negative effects of the project. Christopher, who also owns West Forks rafting business Three Rivers Whitewater, was part of the group.
Initially the agreement called for CMP to provide $22 million in conservation mitigation and nature-based tourism. But that would drop to $5 million if CMP had to bury lines near the Kennebec River Gorge, which the company agreed to do in October 2018. The memorandum also offered businesses that supported it the potential to buy the land they currently lease from CMP.
Strong opposing opinions in a small community have made for some uncomfortable conversations in The Forks and West Forks, the latter of which has 58 residents. Rancourt also is fighting the corridor, and is among those who have collected signatures for a second referendum bid in 2021 to stop its construction.
“At this point, everybody is respecting other people’s stances on the project,” she said, noting that interactions with corridor workers have been polite. “They’re really just doing their jobs,” she said.
NECEC project manager Adam Desrosiers said he hopes that people seeing the work in progress would help diminish opposition. The project work will occur in the winter along Troutdale Road, and remaining poles and wires will be installed next winter, he said.
The existing 150-foot-wide corridor, composed of 50-foot-high wooden poles, was widened another 75 feet to accommodate the new direct current electricity lines for the NECEC project. The Forks and West Forks will have 87 poles combined, while the entire project will span 829 poles.
The poles, which at 100 feet high and 16 feet deep are double the height of the wooden poles, are made of “weathering” steel, which develops a rusty brown patina over time that Desrosiers said should blend in better with the environment than regular steel.
So far, NECEC has permits for the poles and wire from the towns of Moscow, Starks and Farmington, Desrosiers said through a company spokesperson. The Forks is regulated by Maine’s Land Use Planning Commission, which has approved the NECEC project, and does not require additional municipal permits. The project also has a permit for a converter station in Lewiston. The corridor also has necessary state and federal permits in place.
Rancourt said she cannot see the new pole from her house, as it faces the other direction and is obscured by trees. But she is sure that extra height will be visible from Moxie Pond and from Mosquito Mountain, a popular hiking destination nearby, so she intends to keep fighting the project.
“There are businesses that are benefiting from this, but it’s only temporary,” she said.

You can tell a lot about a man, by his quilt!
Let's take a closer look at this quilt. What can you tell about the man who's getting this quilt for Christmas. (BTW, it's not my DH. I just did the machine quilting.)
Well, we see here that he loves cowboy stuff. Lots of western fabrics in this quilt:
You can tell he likes hunting. There are fabrics in the quilt with duck and pheasant prints:
I think he probably likes country music. This print reminds me of country music:
I think the man getting this quilt likes his tequila. There are some prints like this throughout:
He likes military fatigues too. Hey, wait a minute! Let's look a little closer. That's not just your typical military fatigue! Those are the shapes of women! Cute.
And speaking of women...you can tell this man likes 'em! Now, I'm not into hunting and fishing, but is this how I'm supposed to dress?
Or maybe I'm supposed to dress like this gal:

Hi Phil. Interesting picture. One rarely thinks of Japan and empty countryside devoid of humans. I like the slope of the hillside down to the trees and then up to the mountains in the distance. I can imagine that the flowers in season must look spectacular. I find the picture a bit too dark. I hope you like what I did in a workshop. Regards, Irmgard

PANCHKULA: Four people, including three members of a family in Zirakpur, allegedly defrauded the Sector 4 branch of Punjab National Bank (PNB) of Rs 20 lakh under the garb of a loan for a sports utility vehicle (SUV).
The accused defaulted in the repayment of loan and also misled the bank by depositing forged registration documents of a vehicle that was found to be a Honda
The accused have been identified as Ranbir Kaur, her son Hardeep Singh and his wife Maninder Kaur, all residents of Sanaur village, Patiala, and one Kumar, a resident of Sector 41, Chandigarh. They were booked in a case of cheating and fraud at the Sector 5 police station.
Assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Mukesh Malhotra said no arrests have been made so far. “The investigating officer is examining the documents and verifying the facts. At the same time the officer will summon the accused as well as the complainant,’’ he said.
Ashok Kakkar, the senior manager of PNB, said the accused had approached the branch for a vehicle loan of Rs 20 lakh to purchase a Toyota Fortuner
in June 2013. On June 11, the loan was disbursed. Hardeep acted as an applicant, while the rest furnished the guarantee.
As per the hire-purchase agreement, the accused were supposed to submit the RC
of the vehicle after getting it registered under the hypothecation agreement. According to the complaint, the accused did buy the car but did not get the hypothecation of the vehicle in the bank’s name.
They allegedly forged the document and submitted it in the bank. As they defaulted in repayment of instalments, the bankers started contacting them over phone. The bankers finally visited the registration authority of Patiala and found the RC to be of an Activa scooter.

text: For many years New Zealand growers did not know which grape variety could grow in Central Otago. Situated in the very south of the South Island it was always thought that only white grape varieties could be planted. Nowadays however there is no turning back as Pinot Noir rules the roost. There are many reasons why pinot has had so much success in the region, including the dry, sunny climate and the well-draining schist soils. Pinot Noir from Central Otago is usually quite powerful with lots of vibrant fruit and relatively high alcohol.

LETTER: SA Express rubbishes to Financial Mail
We deny allegations that paint Tebogo Brian van Wyk as the mastermind behind alleged multimillion-rand corruption in the reopening of the Pilanesberg airport
In "SA Express: A Masterclass in Looting" (Cover Story, May 10-16), your story paints my client, Tebogo Brian van Wyk, as the mastermind behind alleged multimillion-rand corruption in the reopening of the Pilanesberg airport in the North West province. We deny these allegations.
The FM’s readers are rendered a major disservice in the story, which relies on allegations made by a discredited and disgruntled supplier, Babadi Tlatsana, who was strongly recommended by the provincial government at the time — not SA Express (my client’s erstwhile employer) — to stimulate localisation in the province. A high court judgment, which is publicly available, has found her to be a liar under oath and a forger.
Fraud charges were laid against Tlatsana with regard to this matter. She is the only person to face the court in this matter — both civil and criminal.
Tlatsana was the recipient of R22m in 2015 from the North West department of transport. She [allegedly] fraudulently removed her partner from her company and then allegedly began embezzling funds. That is why she was arrested.
Significantly, my client was not found guilty of any wrongdoing by an independent inquiry that ensued after his suspension. This information was corroborated by the then CEO, Inati Ntshanga — another fact that was brought to the attention of the FM through a supporting document.
My client has never been interviewed by investigators from either SA Express or their representatives, or the Hawks in respect of the allegations contained in the story.
Finally, my client is ready to subject himself to any lawful investigation by competent authorities. Indeed, he would welcome any investigation to clear his name.
Thami Letsomo, attorney for former SA Express manager Tebogo Brian van Wyk
• The editor replies: Tebogo Brian van Wyk was given a right of reply prior to the story being published, but chose not to answer specific questions. Second, the SA Express forensic investigation found there to be truth to some of Babadi Tlatsana’s claims. Third, Vivien Natasen also made claims against Van Wyk and, when questioned about this, Van Wyk chose not to respond.

There are 27 coral islands in the group. Captain William Keeling discovered the islands in 1609, but they remained uninhabited until the 19th century. Annexed by the UK in 1857, they were transferred to the Australian Government in 1955. The population on the two inhabited islands generally is split between the ethnic Europeans on West Island and the ethnic Malays on Home Island.

Today the cornerstone of Coco Malay society and the focus of each individual's life is the Islamic religion. The Cocos people have been described as Islamic since the first settlement. Throughout the year a large number of ceremonies are held at various houses in the kampong for a wide range of family celebrations
The Cocos (Keeling)Islands has been a unique place for coral atoll research since the days when Charles Darwin visited the atoll in April, 1836. On his voyage home after a three year journey aboard the HMS "Beagle" he stayed for only 10 days where he recorded evidence to support his theory of coral atoll formation, "Fringing reefs are converted into barrier reefs and barrier reefs, when encircling islands are thus converted into atolls", he wrote in 1836.
It was the only coral atoll he had ever visited to support his theory. Darwin's theory recognises an evolutionary sequence by vertical reef growth from volcanic island fringing reefs, through barrier reefs, to coral atolls driven by gradual subsidence of the volcanic island core.
The Cocos (Keeling)Islands were named after sighting of the group by Captain William Keeling in 1609. However records of his sightings were not known until 1631. They are recorded with the name Cocos Eylanden in a manuscript map drawn by Hessel Gerritsz.
On the 6th December 1825 Captain John Clunies Ross, when on a short stop over on theIslands, cleared an area on Direction and Horsburgh Island and planted cereal and vegetable crops. At the time, Captain Ross was sailing a trading vessel called theBorneo for Alexander Hare's trading company. It wasn't until the following year that a settlement was established by Alexander Hare. With him, he brought a crew of mainly Sumatran and Javanese seamen and women of various nationalities.

A Proposed Research AgendaBack to table of contents
Over the past two decades, a combination of fraudulent scientific studies, irresponsible reporting, and well-meaning but misinformed citizen activists has led to a steady increase in the proportion of parents who have concerns about the recommended childhood vaccine schedule. While overall vaccine uptake rates in the United States remain high, these concerns have resulted in a significant expansion in the number of parents who are delaying, and in extreme cases even refusing, vaccines for their children.
These actions have led to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases: The largest domestic measles outbreak of the past 15 years occurred in 2013, and 2011 and 2013 were the two years with the highest number of domestic measles infections since the 1990s. All of the measles outbreaks in 2013 were caused by infections that originated outside of the country—and the overwhelming majority of the secondary infections occurred in deliberately unvaccinated children or infants too young to be vaccinated. The human and economic costs of these outbreaks are worthy of attention; one recent study estimated that the public sector cost of containing a single case of measles is more than $10,000.22
As the scope of the problem has become more apparent, the public health and medical communities have begun to examine the best ways to communicate with anxious or wary parents. There has not, however, been a concerted effort to develop an evidenced-based toolkit to guide these discussions. The following suggested areas of research would provide the necessary data for such an effort.
CORE ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RESEARCH
1. Parental Attitudes and Knowledge
- When and how are attitudes and beliefs about immunization formed?
- How do parents learn about vaccines? Where do they encounter vaccine information, and how are they influenced by messages from expert and non-expert sources?
- How does the perception of the benefits to the individual versus the community shape a parent’s decision to vaccinate his or her child?
- To what extent does vaccine hesitancy result from a broader distrust in government and science?
- When are prospective parents or parents of infants most receptive to information about vaccines (e.g., during prenatal care visits, at the first well-child visit, etc.)?
Answering these questions will require longitudinal studies within individual communities to assess how and when parents arrive at vaccination decisions, how their attitudes and beliefs change over time, and what information sources (e.g., primary care physicians, Internet/television, social media, local social networks, family and friends, etc.) most strongly influence their decisions. These studies should sample prospective parents in young adulthood, expectant parents during pregnancy, parents immediately after the birth of their children, and parents when their children are scheduled to receive recommended vaccines.
2. The Medical Encounter
- How can providers best determine parents’ attitudes about immunization?
- How can providers best respond to parental concerns?
- How can providers best present their science-based vaccine recommendations?
- Could a “checklist” for providers be developed to improve communications with parents?
Researchers should evaluate the effectiveness of communication strategies, including negotiation, used by all clinicians when discussing childhood vaccination with parents. A clearinghouse of vaccination-related interventions and innovations, drawing on data from state and local immunization managers and from other countries, and how these interventions affect uptake of childhood vaccinations, would facilitate such studies.
3. At-Risk Communities
- What are the most effective ways to identify geographic communities at increased risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks?
- Are there common features among these communities?
- Do social networks play a different role in these communities than in communities at lower risk for vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks?
- How does peer-to-peer communication influence vaccine acceptance and uptake?
- In the case of communities or demographic groups that are apt to delay or refuse childhood vaccinations, what types of community-based interventions would have the largest effect on vaccine uptake?
A CALL FOR ACTION
Childhood vaccination is a cornerstone of a healthy society—an essential bulwark against infections that, though currently in the shadows, inevitably reappear when public health defenses are down. In the United States, overall childhood vaccination coverage is still strong. But recent increases in immunization delay and refusal—and the resulting cases and outbreaks of preventable diseases—are a harbinger of danger.
Reversing this situation will require that public health leaders develop and promote evidence-based actions to increase the optimal use of vaccines. Therefore, it is critical that government agencies and private foundations support and prioritize cross-disciplinary research on immunization decision-making, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of health communication strategies. The research agenda presented here provides a foundation for enhancing both parent-provider and health agency communication. At stake is not only the physical health of the U.S. population, but also our nation’s basic trust in science-based public health recommendations. A modern and well-functioning society can afford no less.

Tax evaders should come forward and declare under PMGKY: Hasmukh Adhia
4 min read.Updated: 04 Feb 2017, 02:03 AM ISTRemya Nair
The response to the direct tax dispute resolution, which gave taxpayers the option of paying the principal tax amount and closing the case, hasn't been very good, says Hasmukh Adhia
New Delhi: Big multinational companies (MNCs) such as Vodafone Group Plc. and Cairn Energy Plc. did not opt to resolve their disputes with the government under the direct tax dispute resolution scheme which ended on 31 January, said revenue secretary Hasmukh Adhia.
In an interview, Adhia said the response to the scheme, which gave taxpayers the option of paying the principal tax amount and closing the case, hadn’t been very good.
The budget said long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) exemption on sale of listed securities will be denied if securities transaction tax (STT) was not paid at the time of acquiring them.
Currently, STT is not paid when shares are acquired in off-market transactions such as gifting, issuing employee stock options and selling shares to private equity firms.
Assuring investors, Adhia said the provision is aimed at sham transactions and that all genuine transactions would be protected. Edited excerpts:
Your direct tax collection targets are optimistic for 2017-18. This is despite the fact that there were two income declaration schemes this year which led to good tax collections in 2016-17.
In direct tax, this year, we got additional taxes of Rs7,000 crore in the first instalment of income disclosure scheme (IDS), and we expect another Rs5,000 crore in the second instalment due in March. In IDS, we initially received declarations amounting to Rs67,000 crore but of this, one declaration of around Rs13,000 crore failed. So, total tax collections will be around Rs23,000 crore, half of which will come this year and half will come next year.
As against that, refunds of corporate and personal income is 36% higher than last year. The refund outgo is higher as we did not want to stop refunds. Corporate income tax has not been very good, though personal income tax has grown well, as reflected by the advance tax payments. We have not factored in the amount that will come in under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana.
How has the response been to the direct tax dispute resolution scheme which closed on 31 January? Did the big MNCs like Vodafone and Cairn Energy come to resolve their dispute under the scheme?
The response has not been good. We got around Rs1,200 crore under the scheme. None of the big multinational companies came in. Some domestic companies came in.
How will you tread the fine line between catching tax evaders and ensuring there is no harassment after demonetisation? The provisions in the budget relating to the survey have also increased worries.
That is why we have brought Operation Clean Money. It is an absolutely faceless mechanism of asking taxpayers to explain the source of incomes. They have been given time till 10 days. We have identified 18 lakh taxpayers in the first phase where there are glaring cases of mismatch. More will follow. Tax evaders should come forward and declare under PMGKY (Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana). Why should any genuine taxpayer be harassed? Survey operations are conducted based on data.
Will you specifically exempt private equity, employee stock options, holding firms, trusts with regards to LTCG provisions proposed in the budget?
We will exempt all the categories of people who are genuine investors. The aim is to target only those who have created shell companies. We have only given ourselves enabling powers to check the misuse of the LTCG provision We will wait for a few days for feedback from the people. The exemptions will be notified after the passage of the finance bill in Parliament.
As you are preparing to enter a new tax regime, you face a very unhappy CBEC (Central Board of Excise and Customs)cadre. How do you plan to tackle the simmering discontent among the officials? Any possibility of a relook of the provisions agreed upon by the GST council?
Any change is very difficult to adapt. You are used to a particular way of life and suddenly there is a complete change in the way taxation is being done. Many decisions will now have to be taken jointly with the states. So there would be some fear. I can appreciate that. That does not mean someone’s work is going to get reduced. There will be enough work for everyone. Nobody’s promotion will get affected and we have assured that no positions will be reduced.
There will be no review of the proposals. But there could be flexibility depending on the agreement between the centre and the states. Some states are saying you keep some of the small taxpayers.
India has negotiated tax treaties with Mauritius, Cyprus and Singapore. Will it negotiate its tax treaty with Netherlands as well?
We will look at it but the Netherlands treaty is not harming us at all. Taxing right is with the resident country and not the source country but if anyone has more than 10% stake in an Indian company and transfers this to another Indian company, then we have the power to tax those transactions. They have a 25% capital gains tax so its not like they are like Mauritius (where capital gains tax is zero percent) But they have a participation exemption window, wherein if the investment is more than 5% and not in the nature of portfolio investment, then they give some discount in terms of tax.

0 – The number of selfies allowed on the red carpet this year. Yes, they have been banned. Why? Because the director general of the festival, Thierry Frémaux, said that the “horrible” selfies make the entrance look “cluttered and disorganized”.
1 – The number of female directors who've won the prestigious Palme D'Or prize – and that was back in 1993 for Kiwi Jane Campion and her film The Piano.
Indeed, the organizers are well aware of the male dominance when it comes to award-winning directors, and this year chose a film from a female director to open the show – Emmanuelle Bercot's La Tete Haute. It will mark only the second time it's happened. Cannes will also award the honorary Palme D'Or to a woman for the first time ever.
(France's Emmanuelle Bercot. Her film “La Tete haute” will open the festival. Photo: AFP)
9 – The number of members of the jury. There are five men and four women in the 2015 jury, and it will be headed by the two presidents Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.
The full list (read more here): Filmstars Jake Gyllenhaal, Sienna Miller, Sophie Marceau, Rossy de Palma, directors Guillermo del Toro, Xavier Dolan, and singer-songwriter Rokia Traore.
(Sienna Miller will be on the jury. Photo: AFP)
60 – The length, in metres, of the red carpet. A fresh red carpet is rolled out for each screening, meaning 180 metres will be used each day.
83 – The number of features to be screened this year in the festival, including 53 in the official selection (of which 19 are competing for the Palme d'Or).
468 – The number of 24-hour security cameras filming around the city. The shorefront, known as La Croisette, will be closely watched due to the regular increase in crime in the city over the period of the festival.
500 – The number of extra police officers being sent to patrol the festival due to the typical increase in crimes (some of which are major burglaries, including this €17.5 million heist last week). Most of the officers will be in civilian clothes.
4,500 – The approximate number of journalists who will be on hand to cover the event.
(A closer look at the jury. Photo: AFP)
31,500 – The number of people accredited to the event (not including the journalists)
210,000 – The population of Cannes during the festival. Usually, it's only around 70,000, meaning the population triples during for the festival.
20 million – The budget for the festival, in euros (around $23 million). It's half funded by French taxpayers, and half by corporate sponsors.

A recent NPR article helped shed some light on a fascinating new field of scientific inquiry, namely how important our microbe population is to keeping us healthy and alive. We are rapidly coming to understand that we cannot live with our microbes, the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that live in and on our bodies.
These microbes live on our skin and in our guts. They live in our noses and in the mucus our body uses to protect itself. Scientists featured in the article report that our bodies are home to 10 times more microbial cells than bodily cells. Their numbers are so staggering that as much as 99% of the genes in (and on) our bodies are microbes’ genes and not our own. But it is a mistake to think of these microbes as foreign. They are as much a part of what makes us “us” as the color of our eyes and our genetic inheritance.
Me and My Microbiome
Scientists are calling your microbiome, which includes the critical balance of healthy bacteria in the gut, the 11th organ system because of its many functions. Your microbiome:
- Supports healthy digestion and immunity from your center, your gut
- Shapes the way your immune system handles invaders by “teaching” the body which microbes are healthy and which aren’t from birth
- Contributes to how much fat you store and how much energy you have
- Signals the brain to impact your mood and behavior
The NPR article went on to reveal that Americans are at a microbial disadvantage due to the inundation of antibiotics in our society. We are exposed to a smaller pool of microbes and so our microbiomes are less diverse. A diverse microbiome is a strong microbiome that may be able to handle health challenges more effectively.
Remembering that our microbiome is such a pervasive part of our health is key. Not all microbes are germs to be avoided at all costs, and you need healthy microbes such as beneficial bacteria to stay healthy.

Three new adventure movies to watch now
Travel is still in pandemic funk. And that means the surest way to regulate our wanderlust is virtual. Luckily, there are some great new adventure movies you can watch from home or at your local cinemas. Want to rock climb in Arizona? How about climbing some of North America’s most dangerous peaks in the Canadian Rockies? Or maybe on a death-defying underwater rescue mission in Thailand? We have what you need.
The latest film from Oscar-winning directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin Free Solo, dives deep into the 2018 cave rescue in Thailand that captured the world’s attention for 18 gripping days. 10,000 people have gathered on a mission impossible to save a football team 1 mile underground, stuck on a limestone shelf in a flooded cave. Vasarhelyi and Chin grapple with the risks the rescuers had to assume for the mission. This tension-filled film is a journey into a world you can only hope you never have to experience in real life. In theaters now. Watch the trailer here:
If you watched Free Solo and footage of Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan without a rope had you squirming in your seat, so get ready for this new movie from the makers of the famous The Dawn Wall. In The Mountaineer, director Peter Mortimer follows the late Marc-André Leclerc, a Canadian mountaineer who set a precedent for the most daring winter climbs, often – and unthinkably – achieved without ropes or rehearsal. Mortimer does his best to keep up in this inspiring and heartbreaking film about a young man in pursuit of adventure in its purest form. In theaters now. Watch the trailer here:
This new film from Patagonia follows up-and-coming mountaineer Lor Sabourin, a trans mountaineer who explores his identity while attempting a meteoric ascent through the sandstone canyons of Arizona. This important film is a beacon for those struggling with gender identity, eating disorders, body dysphoria, self-harm and trauma. Sabourin’s journey from lost soul to elite athlete is authentic, moving and inspiring. But as They they makes it clear that the fight for trans and non-binary inclusion is far from over.

Many of us have dreamed of dropping out of our nine-to-five existences and into something more creative. Makeup artist Erica Whelan actually did it. The New York native spent eight years working as a certified public accountant, but when her company announced that it was moving its corporate office to Texas, Whelan knew she wouldn't be joining them. Instead, she ordered a book she found online about careers in hairstyling and makeup, and enrolled in Los Angeles' Make-up Designory school. "As creative as I think I am, I'm still a logical and rational person," Whelan says. "I had to have a plan."
In LA, Whelan tried her hand at film and theatrical work, as well as special-effects makeup, working on projects with students at the University of Southern California's film school. "It was a good way of meeting people and getting out there and learning," she says.
But before long, Whelan was ready to head back East, and in 2006 began working with agencies such as Jed Root, where she met makeup artist Dick Page, assisting him backstage at fashion shows like Michael Kors and Marc by Marc Jacobs. Since then, she's worked with Maybelline New York's backstage team at L.A.M.B., DKNY, Vivienne Tam, and BCBG Max Azria. Whelan's next goal? The Paris shows. "Hopefully, I can figure out how to get over there. That would be a dream come true," she says.
In the meantime, Whelan is focused on building her business, where she still makes good use of those accounting skills. "At the end of the day, it is a business and you need a bit of practicality," she says. "But I'm very happy that I get to wake up and live in New York and go to a job that I love to do—because just a few years ago I was not in a job I love."
"I'm a big false lashes girl. Before I start doing a full face, I always curl the lashes first. That way I can determine whether they curl or whether you're going to need a false lash. My two favorite fake lashes are Ardell Fashion Lashes in 110 and Andrea ModLash in 53."
"I'd rather use a drugstore mascara than a fancy mascara. One of my recent favorites is Rimmel London's Sexy Curves Mascara. The brush looks exactly like one of the DiorShow brushes, but at a fraction of the cost."
"One of the things that I've had in my kit forever is the original Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Bronze. I love that thing—I start getting anxious when I can't find it. You can do anything with it. I use the lightest shade to highlight the inner corner of the eye, and the individual colors as eyeshadows. Or I just swirl my crease brush across the palette and brush it on the crease, and it just gives the eye a little extra something."

Planting a Tree
Trees can reduce energy usage, act as a windbreak,
reduce noise, control erosion, clean the air, increase property values and make people
feel good. Planting a tree is an investment in time, money, and the future.
Here are a few tips to insure that you get a good return on your investment.
Digging the hole
In all but sandy soils dig the hole 1 to 2 inches
less than the depth of the root ball and two to three times as wide.
Installing the tree
Carefully remove the tree from the container, cut
circling roots and those matted at the bottom. Set the root ball so its top is one to two
inches above grade. Backfill with originally removed soil and gently firm the soil to hold
the tree in place and minimize air pockets. Build a 4-inch berm directly around the root ball.
Add organic mulch such as leaf litter, shredded bark, wood chips, etc. Mulch three to four thick helps
protect tree roots from temperature extremes, conserves soil moisture, and helps prevent grass from
completing for nutrients. Shredded bard and larger wood chips also discourages lawn mowers and weed
eaters from hitting the trunk. Keep the mulch 3 to 4 inches away from the trunk.
It is best to water a tree when planted. For deciduous trees wait three to four weeks after leafing out
to water again. Watering regularly with 15 gallons during the growing season will promote healthy development.
Water about once a week during growing season, this fluctuates with climate extremes. Taper watering in
early-fall as the tree stops growing for winter. Over watering and under watering will have a negative
impact on a tree.

On my needles I have a Shalom waiting patiently at the bottom of my knitting bag for some sleeves. The body is finished and I am pleased to say fits to perfection despite, or should I say because of, having to frog most of the stitches twice. Frogging is not something I do willingly but when a project is totally the wrong size or the mistake totally obvious then it is the right thing to do, and as I posted once before is still progress, right?
I also have my first project requested by my eldest, it is a knit that needed sewing up as it's knit in pieces. Having knitted mostly all in one/in the round recently it is a bit tedious to go back to this kind of knitting but it is what my eldest wanted.......so I have finally blocked and sewn it up and am now working on the hood, hopefully I will get it finished before he grows out of it.
I finally got round to frogging this sock, when I tried it on it was far too tight, my youngest could not even get it on her foot it would have probably fitted a toddler! I have now cast this yarn on for a totally different project, one that I have made good progress on but it is resting for now.
The project that has been getting most of my attention these last few weeks is the one that I am working on as part of a lovely knit-a-long, it has reduced in size somewhat as I frogged about 40 rows, seems to be a bit of a pattern here 'scuse the pun, I had been increasing in the wrong place. I ordered some yarn which arrived at the back end of last week to make a wee vest for my youngest for her birthday at the end of the month, a project with a deadline gets all the attention well some at least in the evenings after she has gone to bed.
I have also been squeezing in some sewing too. After my sewing disaster last week I thought I would have a go at drawing up my own simple pattern using a dress that I know fits. I drew round it added a seam allowance and cut it out. I have cut out the fabric and now need to sew the pieces together. I will share if it turns out right!
I have also been creating several wee presents for my daughter, clothes for the Dolly I made her a couple of years ago. This is a night time project and has meant many late nights in a row for me, I will be glad when I am done. Like my knitting it has been sewing and undoing stitches as I work out what fits. This wee dolly is a bit smaller than the dolls clothes patterns I have found.
So, I have lots going on at the moment, many works in progress but nothing finished off to show you, I am sure I will be back next week with them..........as usual joining in with Nicole and for this week Tami.
Are you a one project person or do you prefer to have several which you can pick up and work on depending on what you are doing and where you are?

With your high summer garden in full flourish, it may seem odd to consider adding more plants, but planting perennials guarantees fresh vegetables for the seasons ahead.
Unlike those annuals that need to be started from seed each year, perennials are edible roots, shoots, leaves, flowers, or fruits that produce year after year once they’re established in suitable sites and climates.
Perennial vegetables are well-suited for low-maintenance gardening and can also help improve the quality of your soil. They don’t need to be tilled, so they keep the mycelial culture and soil structure intact; they increase aeration and water absorption; and their natural decomposition cycles as they drop leaves and die back every year creates a natural compost and topsoil.
Here are nine perennial vegetables, some you can plant in the fall depending on where you live.
Asparagus: This slender spring beauty is probably the best-known perennial vegetable, and one of the most coveted early spring vegetables. Unlike many annual vegetables, it’s not a quick producer, but asparagus provide tasty green treats every year once established. Hardiness zones 3-8.
Horseradish: This perennial plant from the mustard family is a must-grow for those who love spice and sushi. Horseradish’s leaves are edible and its strongly flavored root can bring one to tears.
In some areas, horseradish can take over the garden with its invasive roots, so when harvesting them in the fall you can remove as much of the root as you like, replanting only what you will need for next year. Hardiness zones 4-8.
Lovage: Very similar to celery, the young leaves and stems of this six-foot-tall perennial are delicious in springtime soups. The seeds and roots are also edible, and its umbel flowers attract beneficial insects. Lovage thrives in average garden soil, in sun or partial shade. Hardiness zones 4-8.
Malabar Spinach: Native to Africa and Southwest India, this climbing vine spinach is a staple food throughout tropical Asia and Africa, and with good cause: it’s high in protein, calcium, iron, and grows like crazy. The vine will grow 8-14 ft and is thrives best in full sun on a trellis in fertile, well-drained soil. Extremely frost tender. Hardiness zones 7 and higher.
Rhubarb: This perennial vegetable is not only edible, but is also a colorful addition to the garden, its stalks vibrant in varieties of red, pink, and green.
Rhubarb is best planted from a crown, which can be acquired from your favorite nursery or garden center, and should be allowed to grow for several years before harvesting the stalks for that perennial summer favorite, strawberry rhubarb pie. Only the stalks of the rhubarb are edible; the leaves, which are toxic to humans, make a great addition to the compost pile. Remember: rhubarb leaves are poisonous. Hardy to all zones.
Sea Kale: Sometimes grown as an ornamental, this coastal native bears gray-blue leaves and white flowers on three-foot-tall plants. Cover the plants in spring and harvest the blanched, hazelnut-flavored shoots when they are about six inches tall. The young leaves and flowers are edible, too. Plant seeds in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Hardiness zones 4-9.
Sunchokes: Also known as Jerusalem artichokes, sunchokes are a relative of sunflowers that produce a crisp and sweet edible tuber. This perennial vegetable can be eaten raw or cooked as you would a potato, and is often described as having a nutty flavor.
The sunchoke plant itself can grow rather tall, as a sunflower does, so it’s well suited to planting as a border or along an edge of the garden. The tubers are harvested in the fall, with some of them left in the ground (or replanted after harvesting) for next year’s plants. Hardiness zones 4-9.
Tree Collards: A truly remarkable plant, Tree Collards are a highly productive Brassica which produce delicious blue-green leaves that taste quite similar to annual collards. They are especially sweet during the cool times of the year. While their exact origin is shrouded in mystery, they are reputed to come from Africa, and have been propagated and passed on within African American communities in this country. They can thrive happily for 10-12 years before needing to be re-propagated by cuttings to continue. The plants grow five to six feet tall and can sprawl six to eight feet in all directions. They need full sun and rich, moist soil. Hardiness zones 7-10.
Yacon: A staple crop to the indigenous people of the Peruvian Andes, this handsome plant grows edible tubers on a root system, much the same as the way potatoes grow. The flavor is fresh, crisp, and juicy, and mildly sweet like a cross between an apple and a melon. They’re delicious peeled and eaten fresh, or shredded into a slaw. You can also cook the tubers down to make a sweet syrup.
Yacon grows in zones 9-11, though other regions may be able to grow them with a little more care.
You can find yacon seeds online, but it’s easiest to grow them from rhizomes. Plant them in moist, rich soil, about two inches deep. Keep the soil moist and warm until its first leaves appear, then water when the top of the soil gets dry. Yacon loves full sun and thrives in warmer weather.

Bridgewater settles hiring freeze issue
Interim Municipal Administrator J. Jeffrey Ritter and selectmen on Wednesday adopted policies on hiring and spending freezes.
The policies were distributed to department heads on Wednesday with a memo asking for their “ongoing cooperation and sacrifice as we work together to sustain the financial solvency of the town throughout this fiscal year and into FY2010.”
“These are not meant to be weapons at all, they’re meant to be constructive management tools,” said Ritter. “I am committed to making sure that as an organization all communications are to the extent possible, clear and transparent.”
“Both documents are extremely overdue,” said selectmen Chairman Herbert J. Lemon Jr.
These are the first in a series of policies Ritter will be recommending to establish more checks and balances and effect greater efficiency. He says the documents will help guide the town through tough financial times.
He noted, however, that some policies may adversely affect the quality of services residents are used to receiving and, should that occur, “I will be seeking your cooperation and understanding so that we might be able to achieve a common ground, while maintaining a reasonable level of service to the public.”
The hiring freeze policy states that no new position descriptions or new employees will be added to the town’s payroll unless approved in advance by selectmen. In addition, if a position becomes open and a department head wants it filled, the department head must meet with the municipal administrator to determine the need and funding source for the position, as well as examine the option of reassigning the duties to current staff.
The spending freeze policy says that “pursuant to the extraordinary financial emergency challenging the Town, the Board of Selectmen is left with no other option, other than to implement an immediate spending freeze on all FY 09 budget appropriations for all Boards, Committees, Commissions and Departments.”
The only exception to the spending freeze would be wages, salaries and expenses the town is contractually obligated to pay under union contracts, expenses directly related to emergency situations or other expenses the town is required to purchase by law.
Selectman Stanley A. Kravitz said the new policy “leans a little bit more toward centralized purchasing, which I believe has its benefits.”
“This is a significant step forward in establishing internal controls to account and monitor our spending,” said Selectman Mike Demos. “They’re long overdue.”


LucidWorks Partners with MongoDB
March 26, 2013
One of the strengths of LucidWorks is their willingness to partner with other companies to better meet the needs of today’s enterprises. MarketWatch covers the most recent LucidWorks partnership in their article, “LucidWorks Brings the Power of Enterprise Search to MongoDB.”
The article sums up the news:
“LucidWorks, the company transforming the way people access information, today announced the integration between LucidWorks Search and MongoDB. The combined solution brings search and analysis capabilities to MongoDB so organizations can easily search their MongoDB NoSQL database to discover actionable insights within the reams of semi-structured data. Together, LucidWorks and MongoDB extend the existing security and scalability benefits that LucidWorks Search brings to enterprises, driving innovation and enabling more ways to search and analyze big data.”
In addition to increased functionality, users can also expect increased security benefits from the partnership. The biggest direct benefit is to existing MongoDB users who can now search that data store directly with the power of LucidWorks. But, existing LucidWorks users now also have an additional option for storing their unstructured data.

- Rankwave’s apps breached Facebook’s Development Platform policies, so they have been removed.
- Facebook is suing Rankwave now, asking for damage compensation and deletion of the collected user data.
- The company claims this is a message to all app developers who are present on the Facebook platform.
In a move that powerfully reminds us of the Cambridge Analytical scandal, Facebook has filed a lawsuit in California state court, accusing Rankwave of following unacceptable data practices. More specifically, the South Korean analytics company that is one of Facebook’s collaborators is accused of collecting user data without the users’ consent and using the information for advertising and marketing services. Facebook claims that they have tried to stop Rankwave by trying to convince them to allow verification procedures to take place, but the latter refused to comply with the platform’s policies. This has led to the lawsuit and the immediate suspension of any apps run by Rankwave on Facebook.
Rankwave’s apps could draw user data such as location check-ins, and then use that data to serve targeted ads. For example, if you checked in the gym, you could potentially get a protein shake advertisement later on. According to Facebook, Rankwave abused the “Development Platform” program that allows apps to interact with users of the social media, with the sole purpose being the collection of the data on false premises. Rankwave agreed to the policies of this platform, but then violated them by using B2B apps that analyzed the online activity of users.
Moreover, Rankwave deceived users by making them think that the apps they were using had a “fun” purpose. For example, one of the tracking, collection, and analysis apps was supposedly helping users to calculate their “social influence score”, by “evaluating their social activities”. By breaching Facebook’s policies, Rankwave has caused the platform to incur damages, so the lawsuit is asking for the awarding of several relief elements.
The list includes restraining Rankwave from accessing the Facebook platform, conduction of a forensic data audit on the collected user data, deletion of all data, money damages including the actual, consequential, incidental, and exemplary damages, and any attorney fees and cost and expenses relating to the investigation of Rankwave’s misconduct.
As Facebook states on their official blog, this lawsuit is not only about going after Rankwave, but also about making it clear to everybody that they won’t tolerate this type of practice in the platform anymore. As they write: “By filing the lawsuit, we are sending a message to developers that Facebook is serious about enforcing our policies, including requiring developers to cooperate with us during an investigation.”
Do you believe that Facebook is really serious about this, or is this case a publicity stunt? Let us know of your thoughts in the comments section beneath, or discuss this on our socials, on Facebook and Twitter.

Possessing attitude for somebody in a relationship is one of the most difficult feedback
that you deal with. Due to the fact you already know that this individual cannot adore you like you would like them to. Because even if they manage, they can’t reveal they. Because they have an attachment with someone else; a history with anybody they generally do enjoy, or treasured completely at some point. Plus if their relationship try faltering, there still remains that history…that journey between your a couple of these people. A tale they cannot quite easily forget about.
Possessing sensations for anyone in a connection happens to be agonizing because each time you look
If you have thinking for an individual in a connection, you think of all of them inside the more greedy of strategies. Their fantasies are generally ones breaking up making use of the your which they enjoy, and catching attitude obtainable. One build stories of just how eventually they will likely take you away, show the two left their own mate, then kiss we. And all is going to be excellent. They will certainly fallout of admiration because of their past romance and come directly into like to you. It would be that simple. Is going to be that simple. But that’s merely their fantasy. Since it is not morally right to want people to breakup on your individual the two really like. It is almost horrible to consider how delighted you would be if he or she left the individual that they are with. Nevertheless ideas you’ve to them have you need it to result so bad. Push you to be skip how dreadful it really is to stop two people all the way up, even if you will want this person so badly for your own benefit.
Using sensations for a person in a connection causes you to feel unwanted. Then again you must tell on your own that it isn’t an individual. It’s all of them. That time, it is actually these people. Simply because you decided not to enter into this example indicating to fall in their eyes; it simply happened. You should not controls whom you establish thinking for. Exactly how have you been likely to determine these were in a committed relationship if this was never described in the interactions before? Just how were you supposed to know they had an enormous complete, although once they evaluated you, we felt like you used to be something new? That merely doesn’t sound right.

Simply because they currently want some other individual. But don’t stress. It is really not you. It is really maybe not a person.
Seriously, creating ideas for someone in a connection truly sucks. You intend to feel friends with this individual however it’s so very hard. Because you then find the wrong tip and you just set a whole lot more fancy in your mind individuals two are along. It hurts adequate that they are in a connection, but to find out that these people dont want you? To understand you’re definitely not need because another individual has now used that place, is exactly what hurts first and foremost. As if some one does not as if you, obtainable, then you can defeat that. Whatever, these people didn’t deserve your anyway subsequently. But this is exactlyn’t even since you two don’t mesh effectively. As you does. And you have incredible conversations, and now you have a good laugh jointly, and additionally they heal you would like a true pal. But individuals has recently taken the spot you today need. Some one play you to definitely it. How are you supposed to come-between that? How are things likely to rob that spot from someone who has had the experience for some time?
When you yourself have emotions for anyone in a connection, all becomes way too complex. Your mind and ideas are continually overflowing throughout a person. There is no strategy which route you need to turn. It is possible to stay relatives together and suffer comprehending that just about all you’ll stay. Also, you can little by little launch these people from your own existence. Regardless, you happen to be position yourself upwards for finding damaged. There will always be a large number of possibilities of what can happen, exactly how do you use them all?
Imagin if you know that this person have an intention in your lifetime? How about if you are aware
If you’ve got ideas for someone in a relationship…you should not. It free conservative chat and dating Germany really, undoubtedly, just produces aches, and dilemma and determined longing. Carry it from me…don’t place yourself in that situation.
