I just wanted to write a quick thank you for the portrait you made for me at the Expo on Sunday (the Geisha girl) and the time you spent to explain to me about her purpose and why I am currently in the Boston area. I think it gave me a lot of clarity about my current situation and I’m very glad for all the information you were able to pass to me. Best wishes to you and thanks once again, Jeremy
I received the drawing today! It was in great condition and looks beautiful! My sister was really surprised and absolutely loved it!! Thank you so much! You have such an amazing gift!
The expo was my first experience ever being in the presence of people who understood something I hadn’t fully grasped. My meeting with you was overwhelming and comforting. It gave me answers as well as more questions that I knew I needed to figure out. It has been a little over a month since then and my world seems flipped entirely upside down—in a positive way. I have continued to meditate. I have been learning, listening and journaling. I am now wide open to the truth of existence and the truth of my existence. I want to thank you for being someone who understood me for that moment and helped me feel at ease enough to move forward with my journey. I was very scared that day. And I still am a little. But most of all I feel a connection. I feel like I am starting a very exciting journey and you were part of that. So thank you for taking the time to sit with me. And thank you for taking the time to access my energy and feel something in me that I didn’t understand or know yet. I truly appreciate it. Tera
Sheryl is a kind and loving human being who channels a loving consciousness called Siria Family. Siria Family has given me insight and ways to reframe situations as well as evoking healing in my life for years. I probably have only had one session per year for the last 10 years, and yet it has been more effective for me that any other therapy and counseling I’ve had. There is so much empowerment and love that happens and I can reflect on, that I am able to “love myself more” as Siria Family would say. I think it takes an open person to receive this special kind of healing, as well as confidence in one’s self. I have had moments of doubt in the process, since it isn’t traditional or as mainstream as confiding in someone face to face. Yet, each time I have a session, my life is filled with more light and love. The results of that are more self empowerment and healing in my life. The traditional therapy sessions I have had only led me to go back every week and unwind my thinking and emotions. My work with Siria Family has gone quite a bit deeper, caused me to not only to have faith in that process but myself. Ultimately, that is what I’m attracted to: people being more loving. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to attest to the power of this healing. Love, Linda
The last reading was one of my favorite one because I felt such a great connection to them. Thanks again for being such a great friend and teacher! Blessings, David
Thank you for the gift of these sessions with you and the group – literally and spiritually changed me forever. C. Dooley
Sheryl, You are such a lovely teacher and I love your response. I love how you remember my dream of the feather head dress from years ago….one of the more powerful dreams I’ve had. Amber
Thank you Sheryl, It was an amazing experience!
Dear Sheryl, Please always remember that you are a Goddess and the Sirians have chosen you to channel and represent them, as well as the Dolphins and whatever other Spirit Master(s) as well. That is a very high honor and I am honored to be one of your friends. In Love, Light, and Blessings Mark
Words cannot express how appreciative I am to have crossed paths with Sheryl Noday. A gifted teacher on so many levels, both her classes and private sessions have had a profound impact on my perspective, and therefore, my life. Sheryl’s capacity to channel is truly inspired. Her other talents as an intuitive healer, artist, photographer and now filmmaker touch so many, as well. I highly recommend Sheryl’s work. She is a gift to our world and beyond. ~Annie Burnside, Award-winning Author of Soul to Soul Parenting
Sheryl, It was a pleasure meeting you as well! Your heart is so full of love and light. I love that about you. You see many sides of people but don’t seem to judge or look down upon them. I appreciate that more than you know. I will take your advice to heart and the messages you gifted me with and try to fulfill my life’s purpose. I hope to see you again soon. A.Born
Sheryl, I want to thank you so much for all of the insights and all of the knowledge that you’ve given me and all of the help that I feel certain helped me to get through these recent times and also will greatly help me in all the times to come. Thank you so much again and I am certain I will see you again. Marilyn
My personal experiences with Siria Family have been profound channeling experiences. These souls that come through Sheryl are extraordinary wise teachers They have a knack for transmitting the exact information one needs to hear for one’s own Soul Growth. Their teachings are clear, complete, reflective, and gentle. Yet they push one to look further and reach a bit out of one’s current comfort zone. Gently guiding one to look inward and grow a bit more. I have done individual sessions with Sheryl both in person and by phone and have attended the monthly group sessions which I adore!! The personal sessions provide a more intimate time to focus on one’s individual lessons and current past – life influences. Each individual seession I have done (maybe one or two a year) have been life – altering expereiences for me. They have unmistakable connected me to powerful past- life lessons and status-quo energies and ways of being in the world that may be helpful for me to look at clearly, examine with love, embrace the lessons with courage, and choose with courage to change a particular pattern which no longer serves my highest good. This can be both scary and a bit difficult as many of these patterns one can carry forward for many lifetimes. But the exploration is gentle and quite guided by both wisdom and love!!! The group sessions are a bit different as there are others to participate with but they are just as profound. And the group energy is always different and listening to other’s life lessons always mirrors a point of growth for oneself. The group meditations following led by spirit are the most deep and profound meditations I have ever experienced. Which is always helpful on may levels!! I have been so grateful to find a channeler who is so clear, ego-less, and channels such high level guides. It has been and continues to be such a joy to interact with both Sheryl and Siria Family. I treasure these experiences!!! My continued thanks and love to both Sheryl and Siria Family!!! Heather L. Carsello
Hi Sheryl, I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience with Jesus, Mother Mary and Mary of Magdalene. It is difficult to go into details now, but I feel that many things that were holding me back as a person, healer etc have been diminished. Thank you so much for being such a great generator of light and of such great support for me and everyone you meet! Blessings, David
Sheryl, in this moment I have to tell you how much I honor and love you! You are truly my mentor and guiding light! It is important to me to express my sincere gratitude to you so that you know the impact that your gifts have bestowed on me. I will be looking with total anticipation for our next interlude! Until then, my dear friend… With great Love and Blessings! Leslie
Hi Sheryl, I’m a big fan of your work and your intention. Take care and keep up your important healing work, Renee
And by the way, YOU are amazing!! Thanks, Sheryl!!
Thank you much for your reading and artwork, she’s been very helpful!
Just watched your film and it was really profound. Hearing your voice sing at the end sent shivers down my spine. Thank you for the spiritual work you do. I recently purchase an Amazonite skull from the crystal shop down your street. He sits by my computer and I hold him everyday. I would not have know about
These wonderful spirits unless I learned of them from you. Love,
Very cool movie! Loved it! Thanks for sharing it with me!!! Great visuals!!! Great messages!!! Francis
Hi, well done !!! great job !!! you got to be feeling good about this…………thanks for including “us” into it……..Marta
WOW! What an artist/photographer/light channel you are! BEAUTIFUL!
I only wish that you had made that statement “As an artist and a trance channel” at the beginning of the video rather than at the end, because that would have set a special connection to you.
But it was beautiful, awesome, and glorious nevertheless. I am really impressed with the creativity and technological capacity you and your partner had together.
WOW again. Thanks, Love,
Dear Sheryl, I read this to Kerwin, he is in awe. I will always be grateful, the peace i feel. We had just bought natural stuff for her too! We bought the lavender you suggested too. You do know this now and are so correct that Meadow is sooo wise she is not a dog or will be no longer. She is a master in the animal kingdom and i felt she was in this life to transform/evolve not only to be taught but to teach. You have helped my thoughts now because i kept seeing her and waiting for her to die. I was trying to envision her healthy and whole as Spirit was instructing me but looking at her infected tumor which numbed her face and lumps in her throat(can spirit stop the growth?) it was hard to “see” beyond that. Meadow thanks you. We are going for a walk today and picnic in the mountains! Please send me your address. We are mailing you something. Xoxo ( i know you do not want anything but please i want you address:)) Chris
Although it is almost impossible to put everything in words that you and Siria Family have done for me in just a few short months…I am going to try. Through your help and guidance and your incredible healing powers I have literally transformed into a much happier, more balanced and empowered person. Little did I know how much “baggage” I was carrying around with me…once the healing started I started feeling lifted and A LOT lighter. I am able to see, feel and understand everything within me and surrounding me. What’s most important is that I have found a deep sense of self love. My aura has been cleaned and my path has been opened, and even when faced with obstacles they are no longer an obstacle but an opportunity to create something that’s good for ME. I feel a great shift in and around myself. Again, it is impossible to describe what all you and Siria have done for me. Simply put it’s magical! Love and appreciation,
Dearest Sheryl, Thank you so much for this beautiful message. Your support means so much to me and has helped me more than I can ever express in language. Your class and your guidance has been a beacon of light to me ever since I met you and attended my first Siria Family channeling. It has been a turbulent period in my life, but so full of rewards because I’ve learned to accept the guidance of spirit and to know that every step I take I am walking my path, and can’t do otherwise. It has been a real joy to be in your vibration. Love, Anita
Siria Family touched me in ways that I can not find the words to describe. To say that it was helpful would be trivial. It was a mind blowing experience, one that will stay with me for many years Francis. Los Angeles
Dear Sheryl, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart…the reading I had with you last night was out of this world…thank that Siria Family again for me, it really helped me so much mostly in believing in myself and giving me relief to know I am going in the right direction…I can’t thank you enough!!!!! Much Universal Love and Light,
Jeannette, Enfield, CT.
The Channeling Class offered me an invitation to discover a whole new awareness and knowing of myself. The experience and learning’s were like being handed a kaleidoscope and being shown how to bring it into focus. I trust myself and the decisions that I make a lot more than I did and I have discovered that I am much more rich and wise than I ever knew. Thank you. Anne Marie,
Siria Family are incredibly wise teachers who share their message with great love, patience and humor! I am very grateful to have them in my life, Prem.
Siria Family responds by a critical view that is never negative. The loving insight of this being helped to get me through the darkest hours of my life. Mary Behrendt.
Siria Family has been my friend and guide for a long time–a long, long time. I have received life-changing information and unconditional love and support and will continue to turn to Siria Family for hope and joy. Virginia Palmer, Santa Monica, CA
Words cannot express the amount of love that Siria Family brings to every meeting with them. I have grown dramatically as a result of what they have taught me, including how to grow with elegance rather than through pain and struggle. Jennifer Paul, Chicago
Life Enhancing sessions, processes and insights given in a caring, loving and humorous way. Just what I need, when I need it, with lasting results. Whether in person or on the phone, Sharyl’s exuberance of spirit radiates…and she along with Siria Family has helped me do the same. It is always a joy to work with Siria Family’s pure light and love. Celia, Wyoming
Siria Family’s commitment in communication with us is to help facilitate the expansion and rise of human consciousness so we can create Heaven on Earth. Siria Family interacts with non physical energy patterns and help empower us to overcome obstacles which block your spiritual and emotional growth. Dave Riddle, Chicago
Sheryl and Siria Family provide a loving, non-judgmental environment to allow for questions of spiritual growth. This is not the session for someone who would simply like their fortune read. Rather this is an interactive meeting of the minds to help one learn and achieve their goals and life purpose.
They have aided me in attaining a level of peace and spiritual growth in my life that I had no idea was available and their work with me on past life resolution has been invaluable. Jen Escoubas, Chicago
Thank you again for a profound session on Saturday. My life and body are changed~I can feel it. The effects are rippling out one moment at a time, and the increase in inner peace that I feel is noticeable. Such Gratitude, Gwynneth
I was a new initiate to channeling. When I first read a description of Siria Family through an event at Life Force Arts Center I was initially skeptical. But an intense curiosity and desire to try something new was too strong to ignore. Like most people, my perception of channeling was tainted by sensationalized movie séances and TV shows in which the audience talked to loved ones who have transitioned. It was too theatrical for me and I perceived the process to be more about the persons’ ego than about being in presence of Spirit.
Sitting in the audience, when Siria Family first came through Sheryl I immediately noticed what I was feeling. As much as I wanted to hang on to old beliefs, I felt something melt then open up and soften. I admit I was initially shocked at how any resistance to believe quickly faded and I was transported to a different space- one of feeling unconditionally loved, held and perfectly safe. Siria family was so witty, so eloquent and had a way of weaving stories and concepts that really crystallized my understanding of why certain events were happening in my life. They were able to accurately elaborate on information that I didn’t mention about events at work that surprised me. I have been following those nuggets of insight and feel a new direction in my vocation beginning to bloom. It was the push I needed to begin moving out of my work rut and possibly the creation of a new job after being in the same one for fifteen years.
After that first experience, I was ready to dive into personal sessions with Siria Family. After having tried conventional talk therapy, this form of personal work is by far more profound because it gets me out of my head and more into following the message of the heart. I have attended many, many workshops that have given me tools to do inner exploration but I feel the ideas suggested through a channeling session were divinely crafted for me. It is as if they knew what I would really follow through with and not another technique that gathers dust. Simple but effective! Sheryl and her loving guides have also facilitated helping to remember why I chose to be born at this time and what patterns in previous lives have influenced some propensities and life choices today. The session usually does not start off with this intention but with a minor complaint or concern that unfolds into an elaborate past life memory recall. These recollections piece together so many “weird” things I couldn’t explain about myself but can finally be validated. Sheryl and Siria Family have prepared me to increase the divine synchronicities of my path and I am eternally grateful and in such awe of my new self-empowerment!
I love the adventure and mystery of raising my awareness and consciousness through a co-collaboration with Spirit. Sheryl is so enthusiastic, delightfully warm, humble, and genuine that her approach to channeling has given me a new appreciation of this form of healing. The more I become immersed in this particular way of merging with Spirit- the more it feels familiar and natural- like this was how we were meant to “understand” our true selves. After you take the leap, prepare to leave boring behind!With All My Heart,
Mary Ann Sornito

By Abayomi Sarumi
As evidence grew confirming that industrially produced trans fat is toxic and increases risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, the World Health Organisation (WHO) had to step in to discourage its use in food production.
In 2018, the WHO launched the REPLACE package for the elimination of trans fat in food supply globally and worked with countries of the world to sign up for this initiative. The goal of the REPLACE package is to provide a feasible framework that will aid countries in removing artificially added toxic fats from all foods by 2023, barely a few weeks from now.
Trans fat is unhealthy fat that increases the bad cholesterol and decreases the good cholesterol. Trans fat occur in two states: the natural form (or ruminant trans fat) and the unnatural industrial-produced form. The natural form is found in meat and dairy products. They form naturally when bacteria in animals’ stomachs digest grass. They have no negative impact on the health of the consumer, so they are of no cause for concern.
The unnatural form, also referred to as industrially produced trans-fat is unhealthy and harmful. The WHO noted that ‘Industrially produced trans fats are contained in hardened vegetable fats, such as margarine and ghee, and are often present in snack food, baked foods, and fried foods. Manufacturers often use them as they have a longer shelf life than other fats.’
In 2019, before the corona virus struck, the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) responded to policy advocacy spearheaded by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Nigeria to review its 2005 regulations on fat and oils to reflect the global standard and address the yearnings of the public for food free from toxic substances especially trans fat.
The agency, despite the challenges of the #COVID19 pandemic, opened its doors to campaigners, advocates, researchers, and all stakeholders to contribute to the process and deliver what is globally acceptable to protect Nigerians.
All efforts geared towards the actualization of the 2023 deadline have been tailored to carry Nigerians – the ultimate beneficiaries- along in order to make it easy for adaptation. These include but are not limited to street awareness, vox pops, community sensitization, and school visits. Media engagements were also conducted on traditional and new media platforms; training of more than 100 journalists across the country, identification and building an organic group of young people with digital and advocacy skills to push the message – to the government and to the public.
For the past two years, Nigeria, through collaborative work between relevant agencies and stakeholders, Nigeria has worked concurrently across four of the six modules of the REPLACE framework for eliminating trans fat which is the acronym for Review, Promote, Legislate, Assess, Create, and Enforce. However, the remaining two, Legislate and Enforce, are the most critical.
To complete Nigeria’s race to the 2023 target, the country must immediately gazette the ‘Fat and Oils, Regulations’ and this gazette would get Nigeria conveniently into the enviable list of countries that have appropriately legislated against the use of trans fat in food, or at least to reduce it to the acceptable limits of 2g/100g in food.
Policy watchers believe Nigeria should even do more because the 2023 target is for total elimination through enactment and enforcement of mandatory regulations for the industry players as against voluntary regulations as proposed by many food producers who would rather make the conversation a behavioural campaign and continue to put their profit ahead of public health.
Eliminating trans fat in Nigeria’s food supply will reduce risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, help individuals cut their health expenditure, and contribute to the development of better health outcomes.
As the end of the year draws close, political activities and preparations for the yuletide take the spotlight. , The festive season which will come with increased consumption of fried and packaged foods also comes with its risks as Nigerians throw caution to the wind in their consumption patterns. It is also the appropriate time for key decision makers to step up and act decisively in pushing the regulations to the finish line by removing the bureaucratic bottlenecks to gazette of the regulations to save thousands of Nigerians from avoidable deaths.

thanks again for sharing the Galveston and San Tone (family name for San Antonio) newspaper articles.....!!!!!
Apparently several of the 11th & 17th Arkansas vets were also passing around mug shots and/or descriptions of both Joab and Mack Brown during their Reunion, July 24-25, 1889 (Held in Malvern, Arkansas as documented in the Arkansas Gazette newspaper, July 25 & 26, 1889)
From the article in the Arkansas Gazette, Thursday, July 25, 1889:
"This concluded the business of the hour and the comrades gave themselves up to relating remininiscences indulged in by Lieut. Curl, Capts. Warren and Simms and Judge Cobb of Grant County. They related some very interesting anecdotes which were brought to a close by the receipt of a letter from Col. W.F. Morton of Dallas, Tex., addressed to the Eleventh and Seventeenth Regiments, urging them to assist in the capture of the Brown brothers, the assassins of Col. John Griffith recently. The letter was accompanied by the photos of the assassins. Every member present had a look at the pictures and it is safe to say that it would not be healthy for the Browns if they had been in the vicinity of the camp when the letter was being read. A recess was then taken till 3 p.m."
As best I can figure out, the two witnesses to Col. John Griffith's murder mentioned in one of the newspaper articles you shared were his wife and his young daughter.

What can you do with your refrigerator if it doesn't get cold?
Refrigerators are complex household appliances, so there can be several causes why our refrigerator is not cooling down. To find out the reasons, we can check that it is full and that the current is flooding, check if the engine is noisy, if the control pilots light up and if the fan is working correctly.
However, according to the specialists of our technical service, there would still be no further revisions, as there is a possibility that the filling does not work or that the appliance has skipped an automatic.
What are the other revisions we need to do?
In case of entering the current, it must also start to discard other possible causes, starting with the most basic ones, for example: if it is summer and there is too much heat, if we have left a door open which the cooler is too empowered by causing its system to vent at work correctly.
This problem can be caused by multiple factors. It is possible that the washer port is not closing properly, the gum of the port has been loosened or the pulley strap is present, preventing the engine from turning.
When a frost-free refrigerator is not cooling, it is important to check that the fans are working properly. The fans do not run when the doors are open, so technical service professionals will check them.
Even if the fans are working properly, it does not mean that the air is circulating well. It is also possible that the ducts that connect the freezer to the refrigerator are blocked by ice. The technical service can find the cause, for example if the refrigerator leaks water or if there is ice in the pipes.
What can happen to the refrigerator if it does not cool?
The answer is simple, it will continue to be inoperative until the cause is found and the problem solved in order to avoid food loss.

With these low documentation loans, Citadel provides the funding for borrowers and also services the loans. The company claims that this arrangement cuts down on potential risk since the Citadel can assess how loans are performing.
According to Citadel, these loans are performing astonishingly well. In a sponsored post on HousingWire.com, CSC claims that these “non-prime” loans have a 3% delinquency rate since 2011. According to the Federal Reserve, the average delinquency rates since 2011 for all commercial banks is 8.51%. The high end of this average was 10.68% in Q3 of 2012 while the low end was 5.17% in Q4 of 2015.
The average reader might find the assumption that loans with poor underwriting standards outperforming those across to the nation to be a bit suspicious. In that case, that reader may do well to be wary about working with CSC, who controls the whole process from underwriting to funding to servicing a loan.

A Comparison of Automatic Watches vs Quartz Watches: Which is better for Your Business?
Watches are the basic and most common accessory of men and women nowadays that gives a touch of elegance to your personality and makes you punctual in life. The style of watches must be chosen wisely to spice up your look and make it your style statement.
So, it’s necessary to complement your dressing sense with the best watch from various available watches. Watch lovers usually prefer two common types of watches in the market:
Automatic Watches and Quartz Watches
An automatic wristwatch, is the watch that does not have batteries or electrical circuits.
Instead, it has a complex series of gears and springs to tell the time. It is less accurate and fragile yet an expensive type of wristwatch.
Whereas, Quartz watches do not work like mechanical watches. It has a Quartz crystal that vibrates at a certain frequency. It is more accurate, but dropping or hitting any surface can make a slight dislocation in the hands of the watch that result in the incorrect time. Also, it’s self-sustaining for 12 months or more.
Automatic watches are the most preferred type of watch in this new era for people who don’t like to frequently replace the batteries of a wristwatch.
It doesn’t require batteries for an operation like other traditional watches. It works on gears and springs mechanisms.
These gears require energy from their wearer’s movement, or some have the manual winding option in which you have to wind the watch with your hands to enable working.
Once the mainspring is fully wound, it slowly releases energy over time to power other components. But it can sometimes stop working and becomes inaccurate if the conserved energy has unknowingly finished.
Advantages of automatic watches
Automatic watches have fewer advantages than other types of watches, making them different from others. Let’s look at some of the prominent advantages of Automatic watches that make them stand out in the crowd.
· Excellent aesthetics
Automatic watches are a real masterpiece in the world of wrist watches having incredible craftsmanship and an aesthetically pleasing look that instantly describes the personality charm of its wearer.
Some have a visible gear and springs mechanism that looks astonishing at the wrist.
· No battery replacement
Automatic watches require lower to no maintenance. You won’t need to take extra care of it; a damp cloth can clean it and make it new.
Moreover, these watches don’t require battery replacement because gears and cogs power them and release energy from movement.
· Uninterrupted movement
The second hand in these watches doesn’t tick like a regular watch. Instead, they undergo a smooth and suave movement which looks extra fascinating.
· Long-lasting power
Automatic watches can store power for 42 hours or above when fully wound up. There is no need to wind it up again after short intervals, making it a hassle-free choice for businessmen who must remember to wind their watches frequently.
Limitations of automatic watches
· High sensitivity
These watches have extra sensitivity, which makes the hands move slower; hence a lag occurs in the actual time.
· Lower accuracy
After regular winding, the gear tends to loosen up, causing lower time accuracy. After some time, it needs a proper tune-up to freshen up the gears and gaskets for improvised accuracy, which is rather costly.
· Higher in price
Automatic watches have a higher price tag than battery-operated ones due to their complex mechanism and luxurious look.
Quartz watches are different from automatic watches in many ways. They are powered by a battery or a solar cell.
Timekeeping is regulated by a power that comes from the battery and reaches the Quartz oscillator, back to the microchip and then to all the relevant parts of the watch allowing its regular functioning. These watches have exceptional accuracy and reliability due to quartz oscillators that get along with accurate time and unparalleled precision.
Quartz watches are perfect for people who love versatility because they can accompany you in all activities without damaging or malfunctioning.
Advantages of Quartz watches
· Higher durability
Quartz watches are a great gift as they are highly durable and have a greater lifespan. They require minimal maintenance, unlike other types of watches, such as automatic and mechanical watches.
They only require a battery change after a few years to keep them working in good condition.
· Luxury yet affordable
Quartz watches have an excellent look and extravagant style within an affordable range. It is the best option for people who love wearing luxury watches but can’t bear the price tags.
These watches give wristwatches a pure luxury and opulence feel without breaking the bank.
Quartz watches are highly versatile; they can be worn with any dress code, including formal and casual.
It is a timeless and practical accessory that you can wear while hiking, diving, at office meetings or in everyday use – it will never stop fascinating you with its unique style.
· Personalized design
Quartz watches come in a huge variety of designs and colours. From strap colour to the design, from dial to material – there are countless options to choose from and create a unique masterpiece just according to your choice and preference.
Limitations of Quartz watches
The Quartz watch has very few limitations compared to other types of watches, making it a superior choice for business people.
· Frequent Battery Replacement
Quartz watches are battery operated and need a battery replacement after some time, which is another hassle for businessmen who doesn’t get time to visit the outlet for battery replacement.
· Mechanical concerns
Quartz watches can sometimes have mechanical issues, such as the motor getting stuck or the coil wire bream which results in the malfunctioning of the watch.

Comparison between automatic watches and quartz watches
Wristwatches have become a leading identity for men to symbolize their personalities and enhance the essence of style and perfection in their looks. Nowadays, wristwatches have taken up the place of more being a style statement rather than keeping a track of time in our daily life.
But when buying a new wristwatch, people often need clarification when deciding between automatic and quartz watches. Both types have pros and cons that consumers must consider before buying.
Every person has their own preferences, budget and unique lifestyle, and he must buy a watch that meets all his requirements and preferences.
Quartz and automatic watches are different things with entirely different features and characteristics.
Let’s look at some of Quartz and Automatic watches’ design and feature traits.
The most important advantage of Quartz watches is that they are relatively more accurate than other types of watches. Quartz watches tend to lose a few seconds in a month, keeping it accurate throughout life. It keeps away the hassle of frequent calibration.
While Automatic watches are less accurate, they work as long as the wearer wears them; otherwise, they will stop working and lose time. It needs a frequent reset before wearing it every time, which is a nuisance for busy customers.
Quartz watches need almost no maintenance, which is an important advantage for people who are preoccupied and need to pay proper attention to care for their accessories. As batteries operate, they need a battery replacement after 1 to 2 years to keep them working properly.
Automatic watches need comparatively more maintenance than Quartz watches. It needs regular maintenance to keep them working smoothly. These watches need a regular wind-up or time reset.
However, these watches need proper servicing in 3 to 5 years to keep them working smoothly.
Quartz watches are competitively less expensive than automatic watches because they need to be more technical. These watches have lesser handcrafted components and complex movements, making them a budget-friendly option among luxury watches.
Automatic watches are expensive because they have delicate parts, gears and cogs, making them pricey. It is crafted after long labour hours and attention to detail, making it valuable yet expensive.
· Style and design
Quartz watches have greater versatility and come in various designs and styles, including the strap’s material and the dial’s design. It incorporates different materials, including ceramic or leather. Whether you like a classic or trendy modern look, Quartz watches can become your top favourite with their numerous style options.
Automatic Watches are less versatile but more beautiful than Quartz watches. Few of them have a window in the dial or a glass back that clearly shows the mechanism inside, which looks incredible.
Few of us claim that the manufacturing precision and weighty feel give automatic watches a more luxurious and high-quality feel.
· Ease of use
Quartz watches are easier to use. They require no extra care as they are battery-powered and go along with your daily routine without even taking care of them.
At the same time, automatic watches need extra care to wind the gear. Every time you pick up your wristwatch, you have to wind it up and set the time again to keep it working smoothly, which makes it difficult to use.
Which is better for your watch business?
In summary, for watch businesses quartz and automatic watches both have significant benefits depending on your target market and brand positioning.
Quartz dominates lower price points while automatic is ideal for luxury brands catering to enthusiasts.
Many brands also incorporate both quartz and automatic movements in their collections to reach more consumers.
Here are some additional details for watch businesses to consider regarding quartz vs automatic watches:
• Quartz watches target mass market and mainstream consumers focused on functionality, affordability and low maintenance. Automatic watches appeal to luxury buyers and watch enthusiasts interested in craftsmanship, brand heritage and willing to pay a premium.
• Quartz watches fit best for accessible, contemporary fashion brands. Automatic watches match traditional luxury brands with a heritage of quality and craftsmanship. Combining both can work for upscale fashion brands wanting to reach both mass and prestige consumers.
• Quartz watches typically range from under $50 to $500 for high-end fashion brands. Automatic watches usually start around $500 and can go into the hundreds of thousands for high complications from prestigious brands.
Movements and features:
• Quartz movements provide basic timekeeping with little variation. Automatic movements offer additional features like calendars, moonphases and tourbillons to appeal to collectors. However, such features also significantly increase the price.
• Quartz watch sales have declined with the rise of smartwatches but still dominate lower price tiers. Automatic watch sales have grown, fueled by interest in mechanical watches as luxury collectibles. Vintage-inspired and minimalist automatic watches are currently popular among enthusiasts.
• Quartz fashion watches sell best in department stores and mass retailers. Independent jewelers and brand boutiques typically focus on automatic timepieces. Online platforms can be suitable for both, but automatic watches also lend themselves well to an in-person luxury experience.
• Quarts watches typically offer higher profit margins due to lower costs, especially on private label models. While automatic watches have higher retail prices, the increased costs of manufacturing and servicing mean lower percentages of profit overall without strong brand control.
Having a mix of quartz and automatic models in their collections allows watch brands to balance costs and reach the widest range of price points from the mass market to the luxury segment.
But brands must ensure each category and model properly aligns with their target positioning and values. The right combination can support both volume and margin.
However, deciding between an automatic or Quartz watch depends on the customer’s choice. Automatic watches summarize all the modernization and unique looks.
In contrast, quartz watches are the perfect epitome of accuracy, style and taste with customizable features, which can also become a perfect gift for everyone.
If you love the charm and elegance that an automatic watch carries, and frequent maintenance and less accuracy are negotiable, then Automatic watches are your go-to thing.
In comparison, Quartz watches are preferred by those with accuracy and no frequent maintenance at the top of their checklist.
As a B2B watch manufacturer, Leedon creates automatic watches and quartz watches designed to meet the diverse needs of brands worldwide. For businesses seeking corporate gifts that leave a lasting impression of status and excellence, Leedon watches are the superior choice.

More Time for Phase 1 Decanting
The new date for Phase 1 households to leave the estate is now March 2014
The Council and Affinity Sutton have reviewed the programme for redeveloping the estate and have concluded that more time should be allowed for Phase 1 households to move off the estate before demolition starts.
The Council’s regeneration programme covers a large number of homes across the borough and the necessity to decant all these estates at the same time means more households are chasing the same empty properties to move into. This new date will allow more time for Phase 1 households to find a new home suitable for their needs.
Within this new time period Affinity Sutton will submit their planning application and the Council and Affinity Sutton will agree and sign the contract/development agreement for the regeneration.

ABC News reports:
Less than a day after receiving a warning from a federal judge, former President Donald Trump has withdrawn his lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The withdrawal came in a brief document filed Friday morning with U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, who late Thursday warned Trump’s legal team that the lawsuit appeared to verge on frivolous.
Trump’s lawsuit against the AG had sought to shield Trump’s revocable trust from James, who has an ongoing $250 million civil suit that alleges fraudulent conduct at the Trump Organization. James has accused Trump and his family members of “grossly” inflating the former president’s net worth by billions of dollars and of cheating lenders and others with false and misleading financial statements.

Self-image is the mental picture, generally of a kind that is quite resistant to change, that depicts not only details that are potentially available to objective investigation by others (height, weight, hair color, etc.), but also items that have been learned by that person about themself, either from personal experiences or by internalizing the judgments of others. A simple definition of a person's self-image is their answer to the question "What do you believe people think about you?".
- Childrens disparity
- Evolved awareness in mirror
- Physical activity
- Automatic activation of stereotypes and threat
- Womens sexual behavior
- Mens sexual behavior
Self-image may consist of three types:
- Self-image resulting from how the individual sees themself.
- Self-image resulting from how others see the individual.
- Self-image resulting from how the individual perceives others see them.
These three types may or may not be an accurate representation of the person. All, some or none of them may be true.
A more technical term for self-image that is commonly used by social and cognitive psychologists is self-schema. Like any schema, self-schemas store information and influence the way we think and remember. For example, research indicates that information which refers to the self is preferentially encoded and recalled in memory tests, a phenomenon known as "self-referential encoding". Self-schemas are also considered the traits people use to define themselves, they draw information about the self into a coherent scheme.
Poor self-image may be the result of accumulated criticisms that the person collected as a child which have led to damaging their own view of themselves. Children in particular are vulnerable to accepting negative judgments from authority figures because they have yet to develop competency in evaluating such reports. Also, adolescents are highly targeted to suffer from poor body image issues. Individuals that already exhibit a low-sense of self worth may be vulnerable to develop social disorders.
Negative self-images can arise from a variety of factors. A prominent factor, however, is personality type. Perfectionists, high achievers, and those with "type A" personalities seem to be prone to having negative self-images. This is because such people constantly set the standard for success high above a reasonable, attainable level. Thus, they are constantly disappointed in this "failure."
Another factor that contributes to a negative self-image is the beauty values of the society in which a person lives. In the American society, a popular beauty ideal is thinness. Oftentimes, girls feel that they do not measure up to society's "thin" standards, which leads to them having a negative self-image.
When people are in the position of evaluating others, self-image maintenance processes can lead to a more negative evaluation depending on the self-image of the evaluator. That is to say stereotyping and prejudice may be the way individuals maintain their self-image. When individuals evaluate a member of a stereotyped group, they are less likely to evaluate that person negatively if their self-images had been bolstered through a self-affirmation procedure, and they are more likely to evaluate that person stereotypically if their self-images have been threatened by negative feedback. Individuals may restore their self-esteem by derogating the member of a stereotyped group.
Fein and Spencer (1997) conducted a study on Self-image Maintenance and Discriminatory Behavior. This study showed evidence that increased prejudice can result from a person's need to redeem a threatened positive perception of the self. The aim of the study was to test whether a particular threat to the self would instigate increased stereotyping and lead to actual discriminatory behavior or tendencies towards a member of a "negatively" stereotyped group. The study began when Fein and Spencer gave participants an ostensible test of intelligence. Some of them received negative feedback, and others, positive and supportive feedback. In the second half of the experiment, the participants were asked to evaluate another person who either belonged to a negatively stereotyped group, or one who did not. The results of the experiment proved that the participants who had previously received unfavorable comments on their test, evaluated the target of the negatively stereotyped group in a more antagonistic or opposing way, than the participants who were given excellent reports on their intelligence test. They concluded that the negative feedback on the test threatened the participants' self-image and they evaluated the target in a more negative manner, all in efforts to restore their own self-esteem.
A present study extends the studies of Fein and Spencer in which the principal behavior examined was avoidance behavior. In the study, Macrae et al. (2004) found that participants that had a salient negative stereotype of "skinheads" attached, physically placed themselves further from a skinhead target compared to those in which the stereotype was not as apparent. Therefore, greater salience of a negative stereotype led participants to show more stereotype-consistent behavior towards the target.
Residual self-image is the concept that individuals tend to think of themselves as projecting a certain physical appearance, or certain position of social entitlement, or lack thereof. The term was used at least as early as 1968, but was popularized in fiction by the Matrix series, where persons who existed in a digitally created world would subconsciously maintain the physical appearance that they had become accustomed to projecting.
Victims of abuse and manipulation often get trapped into a self-image of victimisation. The psychological profile of victimisation includes a pervasive sense of helplessness, passivity, loss of control, pessimism, negative thinking, strong feelings of guilt, shame, self-blame and depression. This way of thinking can lead to hopelessness and despair.
Self-image disparity was found to be positively related to chronological age (CA) and intelligence, two factors thought to increase concomitantly with maturity: Capacity for guilt and ability for cognitive differentiation. However, males had larger self-image disparities than females, Caucasians had larger disparities and higher ideal self images than Blacks, and socioeconomic status (SES) affected self-images differentially for the 2nd and 5th graders.
A child's self-awareness of who they are differentiates into three categories around the age of five: their social self, academic persona, and physical attributes. Several ways to strengthen a child's self-image include communication, reassurance, support of hobbies, and finding good role models.
Evolved awareness in mirror
When does a child become aware that the image in a mirror is their own? Research was done on 88 children between 3 and 24 months. Their behaviors were observed before a mirror. The results indicated that children's awareness of self-image followed three major age-related sequences:
Regular practice of endurance exercise was related to a more favourable self-image. There was a strong association between participation in sports and the type of personality that tends to be resistant to drug and alcohol addiction. Physical exercise was further significantly related to scores for physical and psychological well-being. Adolescents who engaged regularly in physical activity were characterised by lower anxiety-depression scores, and displayed much less social behavioural inhibition than their less active counterparts.
It is likely that discussion of recreational or exercise involvement may provide a useful point of entry for facilitating dialogue among adolescents about concerns relating to body image and self-esteem. In terms of psychotherapeutic applications, physical activity has many additional rewards for adolescents. It is probable that by promoting physical fitness, increased physical performance, lessening body mass and promoting a more favourable body shape and structure, exercise will provide more positive social feedback and recognition from peer groups, and this will subsequently lead to improvement in an individual's self-image.
Automatic activation of stereotypes and threat
Does self-image threatening feedback make perceivers more likely to activate stereotypes when confronted by members of a minority group? Participants in Study 1 saw an Asian American or European American woman for several minutes, and participants in Studies 2 and 3 were exposed to drawings of an African American or European American male face for fractions of a second. These experiments found no evidence of automatic stereotype activation when perceivers were cognitively busy and when they had not received negative feedback. When perceivers had received negative feedback, however, evidence of stereotype activation emerged even when perceivers were cognitively busy.
Women's sexual behavior
A magazine survey that included items about body image, self-image, and sexual behaviors was completed by 3,627 women. The study found that overall self-image and body image are significant predictors of sexual activity. Women more satisfied with body image reported more sexual activity, orgasm, and initiating sex, greater comfort undressing in front of their partner, having sex with the lights on, trying new sexual behaviors, and pleasing their partner sexually than those dissatisfied. Positive body image was inversely related to self-consciousness and importance of physical attractiveness, and positively related to relationships with others and overall satisfaction. Body image was predictive only of one's comfort undressing in front of partner and having sex with lights on. Overall satisfaction was predictive of frequency of sex, orgasm, and initiating sex, trying new sexual behaviors, and confidence in giving partner sexual pleasure.
Men's sexual behavior
One hundred and ten heterosexual individuals (67 men; 43 women) responded to questions related to penis size and satisfaction. Men showed significant dissatisfaction with penile size, despite perceiving themselves to be of average size. Importantly, there were significant relationships between penile dissatisfaction and comfort with others seeing their penis, and with likelihood of seeking medical advice with regard to penile and/or sexual function. Given the negative consequences of low body satisfaction and the importance of early intervention in sexually related illnesses (e.g., testicular cancer), it is imperative that attention be paid to male body dissatisfaction.

The GISTs are rare tumours but even rarer is the localization in some districts. We reported two GISTs of the duodenum, two of the omentum and peritoneum, one of the rectum and one of a Meckel's diverticulum.
These exceptional locations are confirmed by the relative difficult diagnosis, obtained in some cases only by the surgical treatment despite the CT and MR. The endoscopy is useful in hemorrhagic and duodenum forms, only for the diagnosis and for the control of blood loss.
Surgical treatment in all cases was decisive without the need to make use of adjuvant therapy, with positive long-term results, which excluded the disappearance of relapses or secondary lesions.

CONQUEST OP MEXICO. 47 inhabitants seemed to be poor; and after having marched two leagues through their country without knowing any- thing of them, I reached a place somewhat more level, where the Lord of the Valley appeared to have his resi- dence, as the houses were larger and better built than any we had before met with in the country, being all composed of hewn stone and apparently new ; and they contained many very large and handsome halls and apartments elegantly finished. The people and valley were called Caltanmi. I was well received and lodged here by the lord and his people. After having addressed him on the part of your Majesty, and stated the cause of my coming into these parts, I inquired of him if he was a subject of Muteczuma, or whether he belonged to an- other jurisdiction. He answered as if astonished at my question, by asking, "Who is not a subject of Muteczu- ma ?" As much as to say that he was the sovereign of the world. I replied by describing the great power and wide sway of your Majesty, to whom many other sove- reigns more powerful than Muteczuma were subject, esteeming it for their advantage to be so ; and that thus Muteczuma and all the inhabitants of this country would find it to be ; that this would be required of them, and should they yield obedience, they would be honored and favored ; if not, they would be punished. And in order that I might have some evidence of his homage, I request- ed him to furnish me with some gold that I might send it to your Majesty. He replied that he had gold,* but he must receive the orders of Muteczuma before he

reign, was obtained by them from the sands of the rivers, or collected froni the surface of the earth ; but the process of working the mines as practised at the present day, was introduced by the Spaniards. — L.

Science Cafe Little Rock is back this month, this time at Hibernia Irish Tavern, according to a news release.
Science Cafe Little Rock, a panel discussion that explores different scientific topics in a relaxed atmosphere, is held on the fourth Tuesday of most months. This month’s event will take place at 9700 N. Rodney Parham Rd. from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday and will discuss “cyber warfare,” a news release said.
Participants plan to talk about “the latest cyber threats, artificial intelligence and ways to protect against computer hackers in the 21st century,” according to the release.
Science Cafe Little Rock has been around since 2007, according to its Facebook page. In recent months, it was being held at Whole Hog Cafe, but it moved because the event “simply outgrew the space,” a Facebook post said.
Science Cafe Little Rock, which is sponsored by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, is a free event, according to the release.


Rock slide closes highway

Rock slide closes highway
February 22, 2016
Published: February 22, 2016
Assign to Google Classroom
Traffic on a stretch of a key east-west highway in Colorado won't be back to normal for weeks after boulders the size of small cars crashed onto the roadway. Workers were still finding large amounts of loose rock days after the initial slide.
The slide happened Feb. 15 on Interstate 70 about 125 miles east of the Utah border. It damaged a tractor-trailer but caused no injuries. The highway was shut in both directions, from Glenwood Springs in the west to Gypsum in the east. That forced travelers to take detours of up to four hours. The four-lane stretch carries a daily average of 300 vehicles per hour through the canyon, Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Amy Ford said.
Ford advised travelers to check the transportation department website for proper routes. There were reports that some drivers used maps and GPS devices to find their own way around the slide and ended up in mountain passes usually closed during the winter.
Hundreds of cars and several tractor-trailers lined up at a gate closing one of those passes, the Post Independent newspaper in Glenwood Springs reported.
Pitkin County sheriff's Deputy Marcin Debski directed traffic at Independence Pass in Aspen and said he had "never seen anything like it."
Tumbling rocks have closed the stretch of I-70 several times in the past. A 2010 rock slide tore gaping holes in an elevated section of the road. The holes closed the canyon for nearly four days. That caused food shortages because delivery trucks were not able to reach restaurants and grocery stores.
In 2004, more than three dozen boulders landed on the highway. A slide in 1995 killed three people. And a boulder crashed onto a pickup truck in 1985. It critically injured a 5-year-old boy.
The CDOT said the Glenwood canyon is among 750 areas prone to slides that it closely monitors. Slides are particularly common when cold periods are followed by warm spells. When that happens, ice begins to melt.
The state spends some $8.5 million dollars a year on work to prevent and respond to rock falls across Colorado, CDOT officials said.

The first question you may be asking yourself so why do I need to use a scale in the first place? Can’t I just eyeball it and won’t that be close enough? Short answer… NO!
You may think that measuring out the exact amount of coffee to use is bit over the top when it comes to coffee brewing and not worth the time nor the effort to do. However, there is a reason why at specialty coffee shops you will see them use a scale for pour over coffee and even espresso.
Once you give it a try and start using a scale at home, you will come to realize why they use them at coffee shops and how much better tasting your coffee is. You will find that with the simple addition of a scale, you can make just as good if not better, coffee at home then you find at your local coffee shop
If I haven’t convinced you yet, then let me go over the top 4 reasons on why cafe’s use them and why you should as well in order to improve your coffee brewing.
The Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Use a Coffee Scale
This is probably the most important reason to get a scale. If you are accurate with the measurement of both the coffee and water with the ratio that is best for you, you will have gone a long way to making a memorable cup
This is where the fun comes in. Its always interesting to taste the difference with different coffee at different ratios. For example, you could start with a 17 to 1 ratio (water to coffee) and then the next time use a 15 to 1 ratio and you will be amazed more often then not at the difference this slight change makes in the taste of your coffee.
If you find the ratio that you like for your coffee then its important obvious reasons to be able to repeat time after time so you get that same taste and with a scale its infinitely easier then using say just a scoop.
4. Quality Coffee Beans
Buying quality fresh roasted coffee is generally more expensive then typical store bought coffee. In addition it takes a coffee farmer alot of hard work to bring it to your table and so by carefully measuring out your coffee your not only saving money by not wasting coffee but your also making sure that the coffee farmers work does not go for not.
Although many people don’t realize it, measuring out the right amount of coffee to water can make or break the taste or flavors you get from your coffee and so skipping or not carefully measuring out both your water and your coffee will result in a less then ideal cup.
If you would like to know which are the best coffee scales for the home, you can look at my post on my top 5 .
Here is a video that I thought would help, if your using a scale for the first time.

KADUNA — TWO northern governors, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano State and Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero of Kaduna State, yesterday, rejected the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, saying it would make impoverish their states.
Kwankwaso told members of the Adhoc Committee on Petroleum Industry Bill, North West zonal public hearing held in Kaduna, that the people of Kano State opposed the bill in its totality.
Yero on his part said the term “host communities” would amount to creating a fourth tier of government.
Said Kwankwaso: “The decision is that we kick against the bill came after due consultation with stakeholders and the ordinary citizens of Kano State. Northern legislators must not to be bought over like during the case of the offshore/onshore debate in 2002. The people of Kano State will not be deceived to endorse the Petroleum Industry Bill. The South South region has a Federal Ministry; it has13 per cent derivation; it has an amnesty programme as well as Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, against other parts of the country.”
On his part, Governor Yero who was represented by Permanent Secretary, Kaduna State Ministry of Justice Hajia Hauwa Dalhatu said: “There is also in existence Niger Delta Development Commission and Ministry of Niger Delta, in addition to the autonomous amnesty programme. To create a host communities fund therefore, will not only be tantamount to creating a fourth tier of government, but also making provisions that will further alienate other parts of the country economically. The term host communities as used in the bill is nebulous.”

The British composer John Gardner (b. 1917) has been astonishingly proli?c, writing 249 opus numbers in his sixty-year career as composer, conductor and teacher. His music – basically tonal and always impeccably crafted – is characterised by charm, grace and humour. Gardner’s musical ?ngerprints come from his love of jazz, Renaissance and Baroque procedures and his mastery of imitative counterpoint. He generally uses established musical forms but invests them with a quirky and distinctive harmonic idiom. This recording explores his rich output for brass and organ, from the elegant Theme and Variations, Op. 7, of 1951 to the lusty Five Dances for Organ, Op. 179, written in 1988.
"A winning programme from the prolific British composer John Gardner. Gardner has been astonishingly prolific, writing 249 pieces in his sixty-year career as composer, conductor and teacher. He turned 93 shortly before the release of this album, which offers a selection of the music the composer has written for brass ensemble and organ, his instrument of choice since his days as an organ scholar at Oxford.

An online guide that aims to help students “get to grips with Shakespeare” is being launched, dubbed the most comprehensive online resource dedicated to the works of the playwright.
Video tutorials, clips and interviews featuring Royal Shakespeare Company actors and directors are being made available free of charge as part of a the initiative, which is designed to “unlock” Shakespeare’s plays.
The Shakespeare Learning Zone has been in development for two years, in consultation with students and teachers. The site includes hundreds of RSC production photographs, alongside video content designed to break down Shakespeare’s plots, characters, language and themes.
Aimed at 11 to 18-year-olds, it also comprises step-by-step plot guides and timelines, tests to track pupils’ learning, and interactive features such as videos from past productions designed to bring characters to life.
The RSC already uses rehearsal room techniques in classrooms as part of its education outreach programmes, however teachers and students will be able to access these strategies remotely as part of the Shakespeare Learning Zone site.
RSC education director Jacqui O’Hanlon said: “We believe that all young people can enjoy and take ownership of Shakespeare’s plays regardless of their age background or perceived ability.
“We wanted to create an online space that supports young people in their Shakespeare studies at any stage of their learning. The site means we can share some of the skills and tools we use at the RSC to really get under the skin of the plays and understand the techniques and devices common in Shakespeare’s work.”
It will launch on September 3 with seven Shakespeare plays including Hamlet, Othello, Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet, and two plays will be added to the resource bank each term.
Students will also be able to select the level of information relevant to them, from basic plot and character overviews to in-depth explorations of linguistic techniques and themes.

Sears Holding Corps. will lay off 100 workers at its Hoffman Estates
headquarters, two months after Illinois gave Sears a $150 million tax
credit to keep jobs in the Prairie State. The layoffs don't violate the tax credit nor the special property tax district the state gives the company, which has strained the Hoffman Estates school district.
Under the tax deal, Sears gets a $15 million tax credit each year over the next ten years for keeping its company hq in Illinois. Sears previously announced that they will close up to 120 Sears and KMart stores nationally due to poor holiday season sales.

Spirituality is not always a display
of a sound spirit in a sound body.
Manav Dayal was in his mid-eighties and was suffering from severe
He was lying on a bed, looking weak, so his first words to me seemed
to come from somewhere else:
'I knew you would come today. I have been awaiting you. Come to
my place. Stay with me. Eat with me. Sleep in the same room as me.
And you will become like me.'
Needless to say, his words were indeed surprising to my Western
ears. At the same time, I knew that these words were not meant
personally for me alone; they could just as well have been spoken to
you, dear reader, if you had the good fortune to be at this place at
this time. Then again came his fragile voice, reciting spontaneously
flowing poems in streams of consciousness. Devotees entered the room
with food, prasad. They offered it to him with tremendous reverence.
He ate lots of it with strange pleasure, while his voice continued
this wonderful song of words. But now these fragile melodies were
rhythmically mixed with loud burps coming from his stomach. Yet now,
in this intoxicated state I find myself in, I cannot tell the
difference between a burp and God's voice.
I have to continue
the story about Manav Dayal. I went to his ashram in Hoshiarpur, and
at that time, I met so many beautiful beings! It could no longer
just be a lucky projection of my own beauty: Shabdanand, Lahori
Pandiji, Sita, and many others were just passing by.
A devotee from Hyderabad, Suresh Babu, arrived. He was in his late
thirties, a successful man with his own company, and a passionate
wildlife protector and photographer. He told me many wonderful
things. The story I want to narrate now begins where the burp ends.
Suresh told me, 'I was— as you are now—staying together with Manav
Dayal in his private room. One night he came out of the bathroom,
coughing and with almost no clothes on. My first thought was: My
dear GOD... is this my Guru? Is my Guru that ugly? I cannot even
look at this sight. Why is he old? Why can I not have a young,
beautiful Master? Full of doubt, I went to sleep. In the middle of
the night, I was awakened by something pulling my arm. I looked up
and saw a divine being of light so radiant that I could not contain
the beauty. It was such an intense beauty that it felt like pain. I
cried in terror:
'Oh Shiva! Go away!! I cannot look at you. Such extreme beauty is
not for a human to absorb.'
The being smiled teasingly and asked, 'Do you find me beautiful
now? Am I beautiful enough for you?' 'Yes, yes,' I cried,
'You are too beautiful!'
The next morning, Manav Dayal's first question to me was: 'Do you
find me beautiful?' 'Guru Ji!' I replied, 'You are too
beautiful!' And I fell at his feet in gratitude...
Give me all your money!
Shortly after arriving at Manav Dayal’s Ashram, there was a large
gathering with several thousand people coming to celebrate him. This
occasion is called Guru Purnima. All over India, people travel to
visit their Guru to pay him respect with flowers and love. The place
was really crowded. Manav Dayal called me over and said:
'Give me all your money!'
What was this?! Had I ended up once again in a spiritual commercial
trap? Despite all the doubt, I gave him my money belt. He took out
all the foreign money: dollars and traveler's checks. And, to my
terror, he also took out my passport. Then he handed back the money
belt—now containing only a few hundred Indian rupees.
'Trust me,' he said with a smile.
One hour later, as I was walking around in the Guru Purnima crowd,
my money belt was stolen.
Then Shabdanand came: 'Manav Dayal calls you.' And yes... I
had to laugh... With a mischievous smile, Manav returned my passport
I put it all in my pocket and
disappeared into the crowd of celebration.
This was the last money ever between
me and Manav.
Manav Dayal/I.C. Sharma lived until
recently with his devotees in a peaceful Ashram in Punjab.
I stayed with him for five month.
He never asked me to do anything for him.
He just gave - gave bliss - gave food - gave shelter.
He has now left his body.
Manav Dayal was a
Professor of Philosophy in the United States before
he in 1981
was appointed as head of the Manavta Mandir Mission by Faqir Baba.
Both Manav Dayal and Faqir Baba had close contact to the American mystic
Edgar Cayce. Manav Dayal has among many books written: Cayce, Karma and Reincarnation. (Look at amazon.com)
Here he makes a kind of New Age synthesis of Cayce Western
approach and the Eastern tradition of Radha Soami.

It’s later in the day and a family member has a bad cough or minor laceration. It’s too late to get an appointment with your family doctor, but thankfully the health issue is not serious enough to warrant a long emergency room wait. What do you do?
It’s for exactly these types of situations that Astra Health Centers has opened an urgent care center in Bayonne at 564 Broadway. With extended hours of care, this is not your mother’s medicenter.
Filling an important need for the Bayonne community, Astra stays open until 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and until 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The center markets itself as the place for residents to go for acute injury or illness.
“We’re a really convenient alternative to the emergency room for non-life-threatening injuries or illnesses,” said spokeswoman Jade Marrero. “We’re a cost-effective option for the patient.”
“I believe we can be a huge asset to Bayonne,” said Astra Community Outreach Director Rita Zarabara.
“We are here to treat all but life-threatening emergencies,” said spokesman Anthony Russo. “We handle minor lacerations, coughs, colds, sore throats, strains, and sprains.”
Astra features a physician and X-ray facilities on site, and 10 patient rooms in a spacious facility.
The company has similar centers in Hoboken and the Basking Ridge section of Bernards Township. The company is opening a Belleville practice in November.
Astra performs work, school, and sports physicals. It also offers Department of Transportation physicals, drug testing, and more.
“I believe we can be a huge asset to Bayonne.” – Rita Zarabara
“We have extensive occupational corporate health services, so we do workers’ comp,” said Marrero, who is also practice supervisor and workers’ compensation liaison.
The facility’s management takes pride in having only state-certified physicians on staff. But the facility is not an island unto itself. The center has close relationships with many doctors in the area, officials said.
“We encourage everyone to have a primary-care physician,” Russo said. “We’re not here to replace them.”
Astra Health Center has been unofficially open since Aug. 14. The center will hold its grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Sept. 10.
The company not only treats the community, but gets involved with it as well, devoting a team of nurses to public education and blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol screenings.
“We’re not just a medical facility,” Russo said. “We like to become involved in the cities where we have facilities.”
Astra is at 564 Broadway, near the corner of 26th Street. Its hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All major insurances are accepted, including Medicare and Medicaid.
