Nawazuddin Siddiqui is all set to haunt us with his upcoming film starring along with Shri Devi. As you look at this poster posted by the actor on Twitter, Nawaz looks extremely creepy and mysterious with a semi-bald and spectacled look holding a suitcase in his hands. Sharing the poster via his Twitter handle, Nawaz wrote, “Things may not be what they seem. #LooksCanBeDeceptive @MOMTheMovie @SrideviBKapoor @ZeeStudios_.”
Talking about his role and look in the film, Nawaz had said earlier, “We worked on the look for 15 days before we finalised it. The director Ravi Udyawar planned something different. Normally, the character is created first and then the look but for Mom, it was the other way round. We tried various looks with how my character would walk and talk and his mannerisms. We used prosthetics and the entire process would take almost three hours to put on and remove. Moreover, shooting in Mumbai and Delhi during the day, when it is incredibly hot.” However, the information about his role is still under the wrap and we are seeing Sri Devi right after the 5 years since She was last seen in Gauri Shinde’s English Vinglish. The film was earlier scheduled to release on July 14, but will now hit the screens on July 7, this year.

‘We are now entering an era of telepresence—I joke not… Relationships are established through FaceTime and other similar types of video linking. The assumptions we make as ‘grown-ups’—as one might say—about how we establish trust and communicate comfortably with others cannot necessarily be carried forward to people who have grown up in the internet era, for whom the conduct of a meeting and interaction via video may be more comfortable and comforting and give rise to a greater experience of trust than it would for our generation.’
- Professor Richard Susskind, IT adviser to the Lord Chief Justice giving evidence on the Prisons and Courts Bill 28 March 2017
Video links have been used in the justice system for 25 years, well before Skype and Facetime became popular. But the jury is still out on whether the use of video links improves effective participation and access to justice.
The champions of change have been Professor Richard Susskind, Lord Justice Leveson, Lord Justice Fulford and the former Lord Chief Justice Lord Justice Thomas. In 2015 Sir Brian Leveson’s Review of efficiency in criminal proceedings criticised the traditional approach: ‘[I]n relation to pre-trial and case management hearings, this process is inefficient and expensive. Such hearings are often essentially administrative in nature and it is unnecessary to gather the participants together in one room to deal with the matters that require resolution, save exceptionally when the interests of justice require it’. He recommended a significant expansion in the use of video and telephone links in these kind of hearings.
It is not clear how and why proponents of virtual justice moved Sir Brian’s proposals on to a much more radical vision – that virtually all criminal hearings apart from Crown court trials could be conducted entirely on the phone or on video links, with no-one physically in the courtroom. This vision was articulated in ‘Transforming our justice system’ – a joint statement from the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice and the Lord President of Tribunals: ‘in many cases, attending hearings in person will only be needed where there is no other alternative’ (September 2016).
What are the effects of existing video links and what difference would a fully virtual court make? Unfortunately the evidence base is almost non-existent. Lord Leveson wrote in 2015 ‘there has been no time or little opportunity for evidence gathering’ and that ‘there is no quantitative analysis of the effect of the changes which are proposed. Within the constraints of the Review, it has not been possible to calculate how much will be saved by any participant in the criminal justice system by any single change, or combination of changes, to the way in which criminal cases are conducted’.
What the Transform Justice research found
In 2017 Transform Justice, a charity campaigning for a fair and open justice system, surveyed and interviewed lawyers about their experience of using video links with defendants (Defendants on video – conveyor belt justice or a revolution in access? October 2017). On average 180 people responded to each of our survey questions. Eight in-depth interviews followed, together with a round table including lawyers, magistrates, academics, HMCTS, an intermediary and liaison and diversion practitioners.
Many reported to us poor experiences of working with defendants on video, some practical, some systemic. Lawyers complained that the links frequently cut out and the sightlines could be poor. For example, one solicitor wrote of ‘issues in Brighton with the video-link. The defendant can hear us, but we cannot hear the defendant. We are about to embark on a PTPH. The solution… is for the defendant to be given a piece of paper with “not guilty” written on it and hold it up as each count is read out. If he wants to plead guilty he will cover up the word “not”!’
No one has done any research with defendants since 2000, when most felt that video hearing were fair, but a significant minority (20-25%) did not (see research on video links in magistrates’ and Crown courts by Joyce Plotnikoff and Dr Richard Woolfson). Anecdotal evidence suggests that most prisoners prefer video hearings because they are more convenient – if prisoners go to court they have to get up in the middle of the night, be processed out of their prison, spend hours in a very uncomfortable van (nicknamed ‘sweatbox’ since hot with very small windows), wait in court cells and then travel back arriving very late and having missed supper – all often for an appearance in open court of less than half an hour.
Some prisoners are unhappy about appearing on video, but are seldom given a choice. A serving prisoner guest blogged on the Transform Justice website: ‘My first court appearance was via a video link from a police station. I was in shock. I did have a duty solicitor but she was not with me. I knew nothing of ‘the system’ as this was my only offence. I was in one room, the magistrate in one small box on the screen, my solicitor in another. The images were OK but tiny, the sound quality poor and we all waited for one another to speak or tried to do so at the same time. The magistrate kept taking advice from a person I couldn’t see, and necessary documents were not available. The whole process was both frustrating and surreal’.
Concerns over the disconnect
One lawyer told us: ‘with sentence hearings you barely have enough time to discuss the PSR… and discuss mitigation. If you have a client who is telling you about personal matters such as addiction, childhood abuse etc, you find yourself rushing them’. Lawyers were also concerned about confidentiality given that consultation rooms were often not properly soundproofed.
Lawyers’ expressed concern about the effect of video links on their ability to provide a good service for their clients. ‘When the defendant is produced on the other end, he seems remote, and I often find I can't be sure if he understands my empathy/sympathy/other emotions which are essential to cultivating a working relationship in this very difficult circumstance… We have stilted conversations which are often interrupted by delay in transmission or poor connection.’
The inability to communicate easily with their lawyer or the court can lead defendants to behave inappropriately – one magistrate related ‘they appear disengaged and remote. They often give a nonchalant/poor account of themselves and we are left to infer that they couldn’t care less/that they are disrespectful of the court’.
The effect of being ‘on screen’
A number of psychological studies have established the importance of body language and tone of voice in communication. A seminal study from 1970 found that all types of non-verbal cues combined – especially body posture – had 4.3 times the effect of verbal cues (see Argyle, Michael; Salter, Veronica; Nicholson, Hilary; Williams, Marylin; Burgess, Philip (1970), ‘The Communication of Inferior and Superior Attitudes by Verbal and Non-verbal Signals’, British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology. 9 (3): 222–231). What we don’t know is how much video hearings affect that non-verbal communication.
In our study, one criminal lawyer cautioned: ‘Many, or even most, defendants seem to feel disconnected from the court process when appearing via video-link. It's almost as if they are being processed by a machine as opposed to humans. There is a great tendency for less respect to be given to the court. Many is the time that defendants show disrespect by calling the bench “mate” or worse.’
A magistrate pointed out: ‘Attitude and communication is different (I have had far more instances of 'whatever' to replies, and 'f... off' as a parting comment). Defendants can stand up and even walk out, as immediate sanctions are not possible.’ Another magistrate said: ‘They appear disengaged and remote. They often give a nonchalant/poor account of themselves and we are left to infer that they couldn't care less/that they are disrespectful of the court.’
Respondents felt that video links had a particularly negative impact on defendants who had mental health issues, on those who do not speak English well (who may need interpretation done via video link), on unrepresented defendants, and on juveniles.
Do people behave differently on camera?
The Equality and Human Rights Commission suggested in their response to a recent consultation on courts that HMCTS ‘establishes a clear evidence base setting out the impacts of virtual processes (including virtual hearings and online court processes) and the equality and human rights issues that need to be addressed before any new measures are introduced or existing pilots are extended’.
At his first annual press conference, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett was asked about the filming of sentencing hearings. He said he was ‘afraid some people behave differently – not judges – but some people behave differently in court if they know that something is being recorded’. If we are to maintain access to justice, we need to assess the impact of ‘behaving differently’ when the traditional courtroom is changed in any way.

Twenty-times Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is withdrawing from the Australian 2021, despite making “strong recovery” after two operations on his right knee, his agent Tony Godsick told The Associated Press.
“Roger has decided not to play the 2021 Australian Open. He has made strong progress in the last couple of months with his knee and his fitness. However, after consultation with his team, he decided that the best decision for him, in the long run, is to return to competitive tennis after the Australian Open,” Godsick said in a statement.
“We wish him all the best as he prepares for his comeback later in the year,” Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said in a statement confirming that Federer’s withdrawal from the tournament, “and look forward to seeing him in Melbourne in 2022.”
— #AusOpen (@AustralianOpen) December 28, 2020
However, Federer’s long-time representative Godsick said he will be able to work out a schedule to return to competitive action in 2021. Federer has not played any competitive match since Australian Open 2020, now in 2021 Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics are likely to be his priority.
“I will start discussions this coming week for tournaments that begin in late February and then start to build a schedule for the rest of the year,” Godsick said.
Australian Open 2021 qualifiers will be held in Dubai and Doha from January 10 to 13. The players will then head to Melbourne for quarantine. The tournament will commence from February 8 to February 21.

Working in potentially explosive atmospheres is hazardous enough without concerns that the voltage being supplied to temporary lighting is no longer within certified limits.
How can anyone be absolutely sure what voltage is being supplied, especially in a typical, long cable FPSO situation? Could it be one volt more or less than the certified safe range?
Reassurance is now available from Wolf Safety, whose latest technology gives immediate warning when voltage either slips below or exceeds certified limits, even by just one volt.
Their SOVI™ technology – it stands for Safe Optimal Voltage Indicator – removes all doubt, giving operators the confidence that temporary lighting is operating safely, effectively and at the optimal voltage.
Unique to Wolf Safety products, the groundbreaking technology is now incorporated into its ATEX and IECEx certified Hazardous Area Temporary Lighting range, further enhancing safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.
It also ensures that a lighting solution is operating effectively and at the optimal voltage.
In the unlikely event that a light is operating at a voltage above the maximum certified limit, the beam will pulse from bright to dim, giving a clear warning that action is needed to ensure that work can continue safely in the hazardous area.
It’s more likely that issues will arise at the lower end of the voltage range. For example, if too many 24-volt lights are strung together and the transformer is overloaded, voltage could drop below the optimal level and light output will reduce incrementally as the input voltage falls.
If this does occur, SOVI™ ensures the light will pulse bright, indicating that the lamp is not within its certified voltage range, though the light itself is still safe as it is certified down to zero volts.
This differs from other ATEX lights, where a reduced voltage supply can lead to the light operating outside the certified voltage range.
Wolf Safety’s clear, visual warning system and ‘plug in and play’ format means there is no safety risk in connecting too many lights together.

Adele Dresses Up Like Dolly Parton: ‘A Hero Of My Life’ [PIC]
Adele dressed up like her ‘hero’ Dolly Parton. In the caption, Adele is absolutely gushing over the country star. We love this friendship!
By Admin on January 30, 2018
Is there anyone Dolly Parton doesn’t inspire? In the latest fangirl moment, Adele dressed up as Dolly and shared the photo on Twitter.
She donned a pink pantsuit with a low-cut blouse and a big, blonde wig. Of course, she’s also holding a guitar and rocking some long painted nails. She captioned the picture:
“The effortless queen of song, Dolly Parton! We love you! We wish We could possess an ounce of your ability. You were the hero of our night! A hero of my life. I’ll always love you x”
See the photo below.

— Adele (@Adele) January 30, 2018
The love goes both ways. In a BBC News interview in 2016, Dolly had nothing but praise for the 29-year-old ballad queen. After all, she even references Adele in her song “Head Over Heels.” Dolly said:
“Everyone loves Adele. With all my little nieces, it’s all ‘Adele this’ and ‘Adele that!’ And I love how she does her makeup, and so I’m always saying to my little nieces, ‘Can you fix my eyes like Adele?’ When I started that [‘Head Over High Heels’] song, I had not planned to write that line. I was just thinking, ‘This needs to be about a girl dressing up sexy, so she’s got to have some makeup, and she’s got to paint her eyes.’ And all of a sudden it’s like, ‘And my eyes like Adele!'”
It’s probably safe to say, in conclusion, that Dolly Parton is the most wholesome person on the planet.

New CWD-positive deer in Crow Wing County and southeastern Minnesota require additional disease monitoring and management
Gov. Walz proposes new funding to combat CWD; DNR plans disease response efforts
The Department of Natural Resources has confirmed chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a wild deer in Crow Wing County. This test result marks the first time in Minnesota the fatal neurological disease has been found in a wild deer outside of the southeastern part of the state.
Previous discoveries of the disease in wild deer have been concentrated predominantly in Fillmore County, with additional discoveries in Houston and Winona counties in the past two months.
As a result of these discoveries, the DNR is planning additional disease response actions, and Gov. Tim Walz is proposing new funding of $4.57 million over the next two fiscal years, and $1.1 million annually thereafter to combat the disease, including surveillance and response, enforcement, and outreach to landowners.
Lake Mille Lacs open-water walleye harvest proposed for 2019
Anglers on Lake Mille Lacs will have an opportunity to keep some walleye during the openwater fishing season this year. This follows several seasons of catch-and-release fishing on the lake.
Last year, state anglers stayed well under the lake’s safe-harvest allocation for walleyes. With an improving walleye population, the Department of Natural Resources will allow some walleye harvest when the season opens Saturday, May 11.
The DNR will announce the Mille Lacs walleye regulations for the upcoming season in mid-March.
“We’re happy to announce that, with some very conservative fishing regulations over the past three years, walleye are now at a level where we can cautiously allow anglers to start keeping some fish during the open-water season,” said DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen.

Have you noticed a change to the vegetation that is growing in your dam? Are your creeks and streams becoming overgrown with aquatic vegetation?
Over the past couple of years several aquatic weeds have become established in the Illawarra and around Berry. These can spread very rapidly and some have the potential to cost landowners a considerable amount of money to remove. This workshop has been developed to allow participants to improve their skills in water weed identification and develop skills and knowledge to improve their understanding and management of water weeds.
What is covered in the Recognising Water Weeds training workshop?
This one day workshop will provide participants with skills and knowledge relating to water weeds including:
- Water weed habitats including common areas where aquatic weeds invade
- Impacts and vectors of spread
- Legislation requirements
- Recognising plant characteristics
- Correctly dispose of awuatic plant material
Each participant will receive a:
- Participant workbook
- A resource CD
- RWW Plant Identification field guide (glossy A5 size)
- Survey guidelines for weed professionals and community groups
This workshop would usually cost $315, but we are offering this to the community FREE to local landholders.
Limited to 15 places at each of the two workshops. This includes course notes, tuition, lunch and morning tea.
Why is the workshop free?
Because you the landholder are the eyes on the ground and we are hoping that you can assist us to reduce the spread of some of the world;s worst weeds.
When: Saturday May 19, 8.30am-3.30pm
Where: Berry DPI, 13 Schofields Lane, Berry
When: Sunday May 20, 8.30am-3.30pm

The browser version is IMHO the best among other GTD apps, but the Android app is very tiny in its functionality. Please add an option to disable the Add->Conversation thing for private tasks. If 95% of my tasks are private, I don't need that extra click Add->Task. The 2x4 widget is the best. And completed tasks have to be shown!
I need to move tasks to subtasks (and vice versa) and/or to another project/workspace/organization! I cannot see Today/Upcoming/Later icon. Tasks set for later are not shown in My Tasks, only New and Upcoming. Task or subtask set to today has green Today text visible, but it is not shown in Today section like in the screenshot above. No filtering/sorting. Cannot see project description. Cannot "search for anything", e.g. text in task description is not found - must prepare starred search on PC a priori. Overview of the whole tree structure (tasks-subtasks-subsubtasks...) would be awesome.
Would be 5 stars if my 'My Tasks' list would stay in 'due date' order and not revert to 'new' every time I load the app or switch to a Project and back to 'My Tasks'. Having a date & time set for a task should make the app send a push notification at *that* time. Sync is super slow. Also, there's a weird splash screen/pause before the app opens up my 'My Tasks' list.
Quality product but it's missing a lot of thought into the UX. For example, I should have the ability to see what project a task belongs to in the My Tasks list. Also, switching between projects is not very intuitive or quick.
Apart from the dreadful design and UI I've had NO NOTIFICATIONS of tasks due. Missed several deadlines, let my team down. Absolute disaster from an app that's supposed to be about project management. Been trying to like Asana be this really blew it. Off to Basecamp.
Really unintuitive to use. Having trouble seeing all task for a project. Only showing mine...
Why wait until Monday to let your team see your fresh, new look? Now you can update your profile picture right from the app (just head to your profile page). Either upload your new headshot or snap a selfie in the moment... but maybe not from the bathroom mirror.

Vokey Meets The Challenges
The new grooves rule is a big challenge, but not as big as facing down kidney cancer.
HONOLULU -- Bob Vokey was casing the driving range Tuesday morning at Waialae CC, shaking players' hands, looking in their golf bags, asking questions and listening to suggestions from the men who trust him to assist in their million-dollar livelihoods.
There was a spring in his step. Vokey, whose wedge designs for Titleist are the most utilized in the game, calls the PGA Tour the best R&D lab in the world, and he had missed it. Until he visited Kapalua Resort last week during the Mercedes-Benz Championship, Vokey had not attended a golf tournament since August. But Kapalua invites a limited field. At Waialae, Vokey, to his delight, found the practice area bustling with activity as 132 players prepared for the first full-field event of the season, the Sony Open in Hawaii.
"It's exciting times, but challenging times," Vokey, 69, said in his gravelly high-energy voice. "Here, I'm just checking on my guys ... what they need, what they're thinking. I have to sort of catch up. At my age, I figured I was just about done working, but there is still much to do. I was ready to ride off into the sunset, but all of a sudden it's a different ball game."
Indeed, Vokey and his design team at Titleist have been supremely challenged since the USGA announced Aug. 5 it was revising specifications on golf club grooves. Vokey won't give you his opinion on the rule change -- at least, not on the record -- but he'll gladly explain how he has reacted to it as a club designer.
"The USGA and the R&A agreed on the type of grooves they're going to allow, so we are in the process of making those changes to meet the rules," he said, grinning.
What he hasn't much talked about is that he's done most of the work from his home in Carlsbad, Calif., while recovering from cancer surgery. On Sept. 30 Vokey had his right kidney removed at the Cleveland Clinic after a CT scan revealed a four-inch tumor.
He had been complaining of a sore back, and he figured it was merely a recurrence of an old injury. But a friend suffering from pancreatic cancer urged him to get checked out. An X-ray and an ultrasound turned up nothing, but the CT scan was conclusive.
"I just thank God I listened to my friend and that it all worked out," Vokey said, looking to the clear blue skies above Oahu. "I feel great. It's like a miracle to me that they were able to fix me up, and here I am."
Vokey chose the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio, at the behest of Wally Uihlein, chairman and CEO of Achushnet, Titleist's parent company. "Wally said, 'I want to send you to the Bob Vokey of Renal Cancer Cell Surgery,' " Vokey said. "And I'd have to say that the doctor [Stephen Campbell] was every bit of that."
The Bob Vokey of golf club wedges was happy to be busy as he recovered at home. There has been much to do. The rule change, which applies to clubs manufactured after January 2010, has forced Vokey and his design team to rethink grooves on wedges. His fertile mind has been working overtime.
"We have 25-30 different patterns we have already mocked up -- different patterns, different angles, different spacing, different radiuses, different face treatments, different punch marks ... every different treatment we could think of," Vokey said. "Even some of my old dreams from years ago. We want to see what we can come up with that gives us the proper feel and trajectory and level of reliability and performance.
"We've taken all of that, and now we're in the process of narrowing down to about three, and after that we'll submit them to the USGA. They will fall within the specifications; they will conform. We're going to try to get that done before the summer to get them in the players' hands to work with in their off-time. This way, they will be ready to go in 2010."
Vokey hasn't played golf since the operation, but he got clearance just before Christmas to travel and to start hitting balls. He joked that the removal of his right kidney might help his game. "Maybe I'll stop spinning out of shots," he said, chuckling.
As for ideas spinning in his head, well, those he can't put a halt to.
"These challenges ... it makes me young again, and it gets me thinking again," he said. "You know, I'm on the 18th hole of my career, and my friends tell me that not only that, but I'm hitting my third shot. But now with everything else going on in the game, I might have to get in an emergency nine. There is just too much work to do, and for an old golf club guy like me, I just love it."

“Chapter Thirty-Seven: Moving Forward into the New Century,” Church History in the Fulness of Times Student Manual (2003), 481–94
“Chapter Thirty-Seven,” Church History in the Fulness of Times, 481–94
A new era1 was beginning for the Church. Many of the challenges of the former century were left behind, and the Church could now turn attention to the opportunities ahead. President Joseph F. Smith guided the Church during most of the twentieth century’s first two decades. His administration moved the Church forward as it reached out to bless the lives of members worldwide.
President Smith continued his predecessor’s emphasis on tithing, and the Saints’ faithful response enabled the Church to pay off all its debts by the end of 1906. In the April 1907 general conference he gratefully announced, “Today the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owes not a dollar that it cannot pay at once. At last we are in a position that we can pay as we go. We do not have to borrow any more, and we won’t have to if the Latter-day Saints continue to live their religion and observe this law of tithing.”2 Obedience to this law of revenue permitted the Church to begin purchasing historic sites, establish visitors’ centers, and undertake other activities that were not possible under the burden of debt.
The Church’s building program particularly benefited from this era of prosperity. New buildings included many local meetinghouses, as well as several key structures in Salt Lake City. In 1905 the Latter-day Saints Hospital opened, the first in a system of Church-operated hospitals built during the twentieth century.
To help finance its religious program, the Church continued to make selected investments. It maintained or acquired interest in such businesses as the Deseret News, the Beneficial Life Insurance Company, and Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution. One of the Church’s largest investments was in the new Hotel Utah, which opened just east of Temple Square in 1911. President Smith defended the Church’s interest in this venture by quoting from Doctrine and Covenants 124:22–24, 60 and pointing out that the Hotel Utah would fill a function similar to that which the Lord had specified for the Nauvoo House. The hotel would be a place where “the weary traveler” could find rest and “contemplate the glory of Zion.”3 In 1919 a bookstore operated by the Deseret Sunday School Union and one run by the Deseret News combined to form the Deseret Book Company.
The Church badly needed adequate office space. For many years the work of the General Authorities, auxiliaries, and other Church organizations had been conducted from offices scattered throughout downtown Salt Lake City. The new Bishop’s Building, dedicated in 1910 and located behind the Hotel Utah and directly across the street from the Salt Lake Temple, provided offices for the Presiding Bishopric and most of the auxiliary organizations. Seven years later the Church Administration Building was opened at 47 East South Temple Street. This five-story granite structure featured marble and fine woodwork. It symbolized the Church’s strength and stability and provided dignified accommodations for the General Authorities. It also provided badly needed space on its upper three floors for the Church historian’s office and the Genealogical Society.
In the early years of the twentieth century a major expansion and reform took place in both priesthood and auxiliary programs. The Church’s auxiliary organizations were greatly affected by these new developments. Although specific changes varied from one organization to another, they generally involved an improvement in teaching specific age-groups, and a greater emphasis was placed upon scriptural rather than on secular study materials.
During the nineteenth century the Relief Society sponsored sewing or other projects directly related to assisting the needy. In 1902, however, the Society inaugurated “Mothers’ Classes” Churchwide. At first, local Relief Societies provided their own study materials, but in 1914 the general board issued uniform lessons for these weekly classes. A pattern soon developed of studying theology the first week, followed by homemaking, literature, and social science respectively during the remaining weeks of the month.
David O. McKay, a young returned missionary, college graduate, and professional educator, had a profound impact on the development of the Sunday School during the first part of the twentieth century. He was called to be a member of the Weber Stake Sunday School superintendency in Ogden and was asked to give particular attention to the instruction being taught. After some observation, he introduced some refinements in the teaching methods being used, such as defining the lesson goals, outlining the materials, using teaching aids, and making practical application of the lessons to daily life. A specific course for each age-group was developed to be used throughout the stake. In 1906, David O. McKay was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and was also called as a member of the general Sunday School superintendency. In this position he was able to promote similar improvements throughout the Church. Before 1906 the Sunday School had been essentially an organization for children and youth. In that year, however, the first class for adults, the “parents’ class,” was inaugurated Churchwide.4
During the nineteenth century, meetings of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Mutual Improvement Associations had consisted of both youth and adults. Together they would listen to lectures on theology, science, history, and literature. By 1903, however, the practice of conducting separate junior and senior groups was implemented throughout the Church. In 1911 the Young Men’s organization adopted a Scouting program, which stressed wholesome virtues and physical skills. By 1913 the Church became officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America and lowered the age of entry into YMMIA to twelve. The Church eventually became one of the largest sponsors of the Boy Scout movement in the world. In 1915 the young ladies began the Beehive Girls program for the same age-group. Later years saw the formation of still other age-group programs designed to better meet the needs of the youth of the Church.
As more and more Latter-day Saints moved into cities, Church leaders emphasized such traditional values as modesty, chastity, and temple marriage. The First Presidency in 1916 organized the Social Advisory Committee, which was assigned to discourage the youth from improper dances, smoking, and immodest dress. Social advisory committees at the ward level sponsored various wholesome recreational activities. The Mutual Improvement Association also expanded recreational and social programs. Church leaders emphasized that efforts be made by the wards to prevent problems such as juvenile delinquency and immorality. Special summer school workshops in 1920 at Brigham Young University provided training for stake leaders in teacher development, social and recreational leadership, charity, and relief work.5
The Primary Association also enhanced its educational and activity programs for children. Class names and emblems were introduced to increase interest—boys became known as Trail Builders and girls as Home Builders. Like other auxiliaries, the Primary reached out to meet broader social needs and in 1922 opened its own children’s hospital. Louie B. Felt, president of the Primary, and May Anderson, one of her counselors, had seen many crippled children and felt impressed that their organization should do something for such children. They studied the latest methods used in children’s hospitals in the eastern United States before moving ahead with this project. The result was the Primary Children’s Hospital, which is still helping children today.
During this rapid expansion of the auxiliaries, President Joseph F. Smith looked forward to a time when priesthood quorums would occupy a position of preeminence in the Church. At the April general conference in 1906 he declared: “We expect to see the day … when every council of the Priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will understand its duty, will assume its own responsibility, will magnify its calling. … When that day shall come, there will not be so much necessity for work that is now being done by the auxiliary organizations, because it will be done by the regular quorums of the Priesthood. The Lord designed and comprehended it from the beginning, and He has made provision in the Church whereby every need may be met and satisfied through the regular organizations of the Priesthood.”6
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, most priesthood quorums met only monthly, and not all the quorums within a given ward met at the same time. With infrequent and often irregular meetings, quorum effectiveness suffered. The increased emphasis on, or intensification of, priesthood activity started among the seventies under the direction of the First Council of the Seventy. In 1907, President Joseph F. Smith reminded the seventies of their responsibility to be prepared for missionary service. They were told that they should not depend on the auxiliaries or Church schools for a knowledge of the gospel, but should make the seventies quorums “schools of learning and instruction, wherein they may qualify themselves for every labor and duty that may be required at their hands.”7 The resulting lesson manual, titled The Seventy’s Course in Theology, written by Elder B. H. Roberts, did much to spark an enthusiasm for gospel study throughout the Church.
The First Presidency appointed a General Priesthood Committee, soon headed by Elder David O. McKay. By their recommendation, weekly ward priesthood meetings were inaugurated in 1909. At first these gatherings were held Monday evenings, but Sunday mornings gradually became the preferred time.
The General Priesthood Committee also systematized the ages for ordinations to offices in the Aaronic Priesthood. It recommended that deacons be ordained at age twelve, teachers at fifteen, priests at eighteen, and elders at twenty-one. This enabled the committee to more effectively plan a progressive course of study for each quorum. The concept of established ages for ordination of worthy young men has continued, although some of the ages for ordination have at times been modified.
These developments in Church meetings and programs created a need for printed instructions and lesson materials. In contrast to many of the nineteenth-century publications, which had been sponsored by private individuals or groups, those dating from the early twentieth century were published mainly by the Church auxiliary organizations. In 1897 the Young Men’s Mutual Improvement Association launched its own periodical, the Improvement Era. Upon being told that there was no capital for such a venture, Elder B. H. Roberts spearheaded a fund-raising drive. He became the magazine’s first editor, and Elder Heber J. Grant of the Council of the Twelve became the business manager. The magazine became a powerful voice for good among the Saints and provided a forum for the works of Church writers and poets. In 1929 this periodical was merged with the Young Woman’s Journal and became the Church’s leading magazine for adults.
In 1900 the Sunday School purchased the Juvenile Instructor from the George Q. Cannon family and made it their official publication. The Primary Association launched its Children’s Friend in 1902. Beginning in 1910, the Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine carried helpful articles on research, pedigrees, and local history. In 1914 the Relief Society established its own magazine called the Relief Society Bulletin. In 1915 the name was changed to the Relief Society Magazine. Under the editorship of Susa Young Gates, daughter of Brigham Young, the magazine addressed the needs of Latter-day Saint women, carrying articles on such topics as current events, genealogy, home ethics, gardening, literature, art, and architecture.8
While these programs and publications were developing, the First Presidency also emphasized the central role of the family in gospel teaching. In 1903, President Smith emphasized that the other programs of the Church should be “supplements to our teachings and training in the home. Not one child in a hundred would go astray, if the home environment, example, and training, were in harmony with the truth in the Gospel of Christ,” he promised.9 In 1909 the Granite Stake in Salt Lake City inaugurated a weekly home evening program for families, and President Joseph F. Smith declared that the stake presidency’s action was inspired. Following the success of this stake program, the First Presidency recommended in 1915 that a similar activity be adopted monthly and used Churchwide:
“We advise and urge the inauguration of a ‘Home Evening’ throughout the Church, at which time fathers and mothers may gather their boys and girls about them in the home and teach them the word of the Lord. They may thus learn more fully the needs and requirements of their families. …
“If the Saints obey this counsel, we promise that great blessings will result. Love at home and obedience to parents will increase. Faith will be developed in the hearts of the youth of Israel, and they will gain power to combat the evil influence and temptations which beset them.”10
The early twentieth century was a period of heated debate between religious fundamentalists and liberals or modernists. Many asked where the Mormons stood on the various theological controversies of the time. The Latter-day Saints were fortunate to have the leadership of President Joseph F. Smith, an unusually able and inspired exponent of gospel principles. President Smith and his counselors in the First Presidency issued several doctrinal treatises clarifying the Church’s stand on the issues of the day.
Some Latter-day Saints wondered about the relative roles of God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, and Michael, or Adam. The First Presidency’s 1916 exposition titled The Father and the Son explained, “The term ‘Father’ as applied to Deity occurs in sacred writ with plainly different meanings”: God is the father, or literal parent, of our spirits. Jesus Christ is the father, or creator, of this earth. The Savior is also the father of those who receive spiritual rebirth through living the gospel. Jesus may be called father as he represents Elohim here on earth “in power and authority.” Nevertheless, “Jesus Christ is not the Father of the spirits who have taken or yet shall take bodies upon this earth, for He is one of them.”11
President Smith also answered a related question in connection with the Godhead. Although the terms “Holy Ghost” and “Spirit of the Lord” were often used interchangeably, he explained that “the Holy Ghost is a personage in the Godhead,” while the light of Christ, or the spirit of the Lord, “is the Spirit of God which proceeds through Christ to the world, that enlightens every man that comes into the world, and that strives with the children of men, and will continue to strive with them, until it brings them to a knowledge of the truth and the possession of the greater light and testimony of the Holy Ghost.”12 Church members can also look to Joseph F. Smith’s book, Gospel Doctrine, which is a compilation of his sermons and writings, for more helpful definitions and information about basic gospel concepts.
During these years, a further contribution to gospel understanding was made by a group of capable Latter-day Saint scholars. One of these was James E. Talmage, who had taught science at Brigham Young Academy and who had also served as president of the University of Utah.
As early as 1891 the First Presidency discussed the desirability of publishing a work on theology that could be used in the Church schools as well as religion classes generally. Dr. Talmage was asked by Church leaders to write this book. Before writing the requested work, Elder Talmage prepared and gave a series of lectures on the Articles of Faith. So many people attended the first meeting, and so many others had to be turned away, that the classes were moved to the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. Attendance reached almost thirteen hundred. These lectures were first published in the Juvenile Instructor. A reading committee, which included two members of the Twelve plus Karl G. Maeser and others, reviewed the manuscript and suggested a few changes. This material was published in book form under the direction of the First Presidency in 1899. Talmage’s The Articles of Faith has since gone through more than fifty editions in English, and has been translated into more than a dozen other languages. This book, still used today by Church members, represents the first officially approved serious study of the theology of the Restoration.
Two other important works followed Elder Talmage’s call to the Twelve in 1911: The House of the Lord, published in 1912, and Jesus the Christ, published in 1915. The first of these was prompted by unique circumstances. A non-Mormon using unethical practices secured interior photographs of the Salt Lake Temple and attempted to sell them to the Church for forty thousand dollars. Otherwise he threatened to peddle them to magazines in the East, who would be glad to print them to discredit the Church. Rather than succumbing to this attempted blackmail, President Joseph F. Smith accepted Elder Talmage’s recommendation that a book be written discussing in general terms what took place in Latter-day Saint temples. It was to be illustrated with photographs from the interior of the Salt Lake Temple. This volume, written by Elder Talmage, not only thwarted the blackmail but became a valuable resource for Latter-day Saints.
The First Presidency asked James E. Talmage to compile a series of lectures he had given a decade earlier on the life of the Savior into another book that could be used by the general membership of the Church. Elder Talmage began in earnest to work on the manuscript, but he still had to squeeze the actual writing between his other duties. He was spared many of his stake conference assignments, however, and wrote most of the book in the Salt Lake Temple. He seldom returned home before midnight, and the marvelous book Jesus the Christ was completed in just seven months.
On 19 April 1915, Elder Talmage wrote in his journal: “Finished the actual writing on the book ‘Jesus the Christ,’ to which I have devoted every spare hour since settling down to the work of composition on September 14th last . Had it not been that I was privileged to do this work in the Temple it would be at present far from completion. I have felt the inspiration of the place and have appreciated the privacy and quietness incident thereto. I hope to proceed with the work of revision without delay.”13
During eighteen separate sessions over a two-month period, Elder Talmage read the chapters to the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for their input and approval. This book is still widely read and is a monument to Elder Talmage’s scholarship and inspiration.
For several decades, the world had seen a growing interest in the emerging discoveries and theories of modern science. As the twentieth century dawned, the pace of technological development was quickening, and important inventions, such as the gasoline-powered automobile and the Wright brothers’ airplane flight, had a far-reaching impact on everyday life. These developments also further heightened the interest in science. This, in turn, increasingly led people to look to human intellect rather than to theology for an understanding of the nature of the universe and of society.
Scholars took a hard look at the Bible during this new age of science; they began questioning the meaning and even the authenticity of the scriptures. This so-called “higher criticism” was directed at the Latter-day Saint scriptures as well. In 1912, Reverend F. S. Spalding, Episcopal Bishop of Utah, published a pamphlet titled Joseph Smith, Jr., As a Translator. The brochure contrasted the interpretations of eight Egyptologists with the explanations of Joseph Smith concerning the facsimiles in the book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price. Although most Latter-day Saints accepted the truthfulness of the scriptures as a matter of faith, the Church still recognized a need to respond to such criticism. From February through September 1913 a series of articles appeared almost every month in the Improvement Era providing possible answers.
Perhaps the most heated and prolonged discussions during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries centered on the creation of the earth and the theories of organic evolution. In the midst of these controversies the First Presidency asked Elder Orson F. Whitney of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to draft a statement that would convey the Church’s official position on the origin of man. Elder Whitney’s statement was subsequently approved and signed by the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and published in 1909 as an official declaration of the Church. This statement affirmed that:
“All men and women are in the similitude of the universal Father and Mother, and are literally the sons and daughters of Deity. …
“… Man, as a spirit, was begotten and born of heavenly parents, and reared to maturity in the eternal mansions of the Father, prior to coming upon the earth in a temporal body to undergo an experience in mortality. …
“It is held by some that Adam was not the first man upon this earth, and that the original human being was a development from lower orders of the animal creation. These, however, are the theories of men. The word of the Lord declares that Adam was ‘the first man of all men’ (Moses 1:34), and we are therefore in duty bound to regard him as the primal parent of our race. … Man began life as a human being, in the likeness of our heavenly Father.”14
President Joseph F. Smith was concerned that discussions of the theory of evolution only left the young people of the Church “in an unsettled frame of mind. They are not old enough and learned enough to discriminate, or put proper limitations upon a theory which we believe is more or less a fallacy. … In reaching the conclusion that evolution would be best left out of discussions in our Church schools we are deciding a question of propriety and are not undertaking to say how much of evolution is true, or how much is false. The Church itself has no philosophy about the modus operandi employed by the Lord in His creation of the world. … God has revealed to us a simple and effectual way of serving Him.”15
Beginning in the 1890s Church leaders encouraged the Saints to remain in their homelands and build up the Church. As a result, Latter-day Saint missions and branches abroad expanded. This growth was reflected in Joseph F. Smith’s becoming the first Church president to visit Europe. For about two months in 1906, he visited missions in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, and England. His visit did much to strengthen the Church in these lands. Inspirational events strengthened the faith of the Saints. Through President Joseph F. Smith, the Lord restored the sight of a faithful eleven-year-old boy in Rotterdam, Holland. The boy had told his mother that he believed “the Prophet has the most power of any missionary on earth. If you will take me with you to meeting and he will look into my eyes I believe they will be healed.”16
During his visit to Europe, President Smith made an important prophetic statement. At a 1906 conference in Bern, Switzerland, he stretched out his hands and declared: “The time will come when this land will be dotted with temples, where you can go and redeem your dead.”17 He also explained that “Temples of God … will be reared in diverse countries of the world.”18 The first Latter-day Saint temple in Europe was dedicated nearly a half century later in a suburb of the city where President Smith had made his prophecy.
President Smith recognized the need for temples to bless Church members living outside of Utah: “They need the same privileges that we do, and that we enjoy, but these are out of their power. They are poor, and they can’t gather means to come up here to be endowed, and sealed for time and eternity, for their living and their dead.”19 The first of these new temples was located in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. President Joseph F. Smith dedicated the site in 1913. In 1915 he dedicated a site for a temple in Laie, Hawaii, where he had served as a missionary many years before. Both temples were dedicated following his death.
During the same period, events in Mexico had a far-reaching impact on the future of the Church in that land and in adjoining sections of the United States. By 1901 conditions seemed right for reopening the mission in Mexico. The Latter-day Saint colonies in Chihuahua were prospering; the young people there who could speak Spanish fluently and were familiar with the Mexican culture were available for proselyting missions. During the next ten years the missionary force increased to twenty, and the local Latter-day Saint men and women were called and trained as leaders. They received great strength from Rey L. Pratt, who became the mission president in 1907 and presided for nearly a quarter of a century. Many new converts were added to the Church, so that by 1911 membership in the mission exceeded one thousand people.
Nevertheless, by this time revolutions and counter-revolutions swept the country, and missionary work became increasingly difficult. These conditions were complicated by a growing nationalistic, anti-American sentiment. By August 1913 it was again necessary to evacuate the missionaries.
The Mexican Saints were left in a large part to care for themselves. In San Marcos, about fifty miles northwest of Mexico City, for example, Rafael Monroy, a comparatively recent convert, was given the responsibility of serving as branch president. In 1915, however, just two years after the departure of the missionaries, the brutal forces of revolutionary conflict and religious prejudice resulted in the execution of President Monroy and his cousin Vincente Morales. They were killed because they were accused of being members of a rival revolutionary group and because they would not deny their testimony of the gospel.
In 1912 the same forces that disrupted missionary work also brought trouble to the colonists in northern Mexico. When rebels confiscated some of the weapons belonging to the Saints, Mormon leaders responded by ordering an evacuation of the colonies by 26 July. Women and children, with a few men as escorts, journeyed 180 miles to El Paso on a crowded train. The majority of the men followed a few days later in a wagon and horse caravan that stretched for a mile. By the end of the month, more than thirteen hundred refugee Saints were in El Paso. Many of them had left beautiful homes and farms and were now forced to live in a deserted lumber yard with no more than a roof overhead and rough boards under their feet. Another group of refugees was housed in the upper floor of an old building. This structure was covered with corrugated iron and became stifling under the burning rays of the sun. Some observers confessed that they wept when they witnessed such living conditions. By February 1913 some of the Saints returned to Mexico even though the revolution raged for several more years. Others remained permanently in the United States.
The Mormon colonists, however, repeatedly experienced divine protection. Bishop Anson Call of Colonia Dublan was taken from his home by rebels who falsely accused him of giving information that had led to the death of one of their comrades. Two days after his arrest, Bishop Call stood before a firing squad with rifles ready to fire. The executioner stopped the execution at the last second in exchange for a promise of being paid two hundred pesos. Bishop Call, attended by his captors, was able to raise the money from the Saints at Colonia Juarez. The incident fulfilled a prophetic promise to him from Elder Anthony Ivins of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “They may rob you of all you possess and put you to every test that the enemy of righteousness can imagine, but they shall not have power to take your life.”20
During later years the colonists’ superior schools and advanced agricultural methods attracted favorable attention for the Church in Mexico. Furthermore, when the Mexican government began enforcing laws prohibiting foreign clergy from serving in Mexico, most of the Latter-day Saint missionaries, almost all of the mission presidents, and the leaders in the Church’s growing school system came from these colonists who had become Mexican citizens. In this way, the Mormon colonies provided the strength that eventually enabled the Church to grow throughout Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America.
The difficulties in Mexico also led to Church expansion in the southwestern United States. Many of the exiled families provided new vitality and leadership to Latter-day Saint congregations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. In 1915 the First Presidency assigned Rey L. Pratt to direct the proselyting among the Spanish-speaking people in the United States. This later became an important missionary field.
World War I broke out in Europe in 1914. The Saints overseas responded patriotically to the calls of their own countries. In England, a local newspaper reported that Saints in the Pudsey Branch had “a record of patriotism which will be hard to beat, as every man of military age, with the exception of those engaged in government and munition work has enlisted. Whatever we may say about the so-called ‘Mormons,’ we must admit that they are certainly, ‘very patriotic at Pudsey.’”21 Also in Germany, Latter-day Saints fought for their fatherland; about seventy-five of these soldiers gave their lives in the conflict.
The United States did not officially enter the conflict until three years later. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, declared that it was a war for the purpose of preserving democracy, liberty, and peace. Since this agreed with long-expressed feelings of the Church, members found no religious conflict in responding quickly to the call to arms.
Since Utah was still the home of most Latter-day Saints, the response of its citizens reflected the attitude of the Saints in general toward the war. A total of 24,382 men enlisted, far exceeding the state’s quota. Six of President Joseph F. Smith’s own sons served in the military forces. The Red Cross asked for $350,000 for aid from Utah and received $520,000. When the government began to sell liberty bonds, the people of Utah were given the quota of $6,500,000; instead they purchased bonds worth $9,400,000. The Church, as an institution, participated officially by purchasing $850,000 in liberty bonds. In addition, auxiliary organizations purchased bonds from their own funds amounting to nearly $600,000; and women of the Relief Society actively participated with the Red Cross.
It was the custom for each state to raise a volunteer military unit. Utah provided the 145th Field Artillery Regiment. An overwhelming majority of its approximately fifteen hundred officers and men were members of the Church. The unit’s chaplain was Elder B. H. Roberts of the First Council of the Seventy. Six hundred of this modern “Mormon Battalion” saw duty overseas.
The Church was uniquely prepared to help provide food for the starving peoples of war-torn Europe. For years the Relief Society had stored wheat in preparation for just such an emergency. They sold over two hundred thousand bushels to the United States government and put the proceeds into a special wheat fund for future charitable purposes. The prompt response of the Church and its members to the war emergency was effective evidence of the Saints’ loyalty and patriotism. The American press praised their actions, reducing any negative impressions that may have lingered from the anti-Mormon magazine crusade of earlier years.
The Church’s April general conference was in session when the United States officially entered the war in 1917. The attitude of the Church toward war was well expressed in President Joseph F. Smith’s opening address. He reminded the Saints that even in the face of conflict, the spirit of the gospel must be maintained. He declared that even in war the people should maintain “the spirit of humanity, of love, and of peace-making.” He instructed prospective soldiers to remember that they were “ministers of life and not of death; and when they go forth, they may go forth in the spirit of defending the liberties of mankind rather than for the purpose of destroying the enemy.”22
On 23 January 1918, Hyrum M. Smith, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the eldest son of President Joseph F. Smith, died. His death was a blow to his father, who was in poor health himself. “In his grief he cried: ‘My soul is rent asunder. My heart is broken, and flutters for life! O my sweet son, my joy, my hope! … He was indeed a prince among men. Never in his life did he displease me or give me cause to doubt him. I loved him through and through. He has thrilled my soul by his power of speech, as no other man ever did. Perhaps this was because he was my son, and he was filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost. And now, what can I do! O what can I do! My soul is rent, my heart is broken! O God, help me!’”23
Eight months later a glorious revelation was given to President Joseph F. Smith concerning the labors of the righteous in the world of spirits. On 3 October 1918, while President Smith was pondering the Atonement of Jesus Christ, he opened his Bible and read in 1 Peter 3:18–20 and 4:6 about the Savior’s preaching to the spirits in prison. While he was meditating on these passages, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon him, and he saw in vision the “hosts of the dead” who were gathered in the spirit world. He saw the Savior appear among them and preach the gospel to the righteous. He was shown that the Lord had commissioned others to continue this work of preaching, and that the faithful elders in the present dispensation would also preach to the dead after leaving mortality. Thus all of the dead may be redeemed.
This “Vision of the Redemption of the Dead” was presented by President Smith to the First Presidency and the Twelve, who unanimously accepted it as revelation. In 1976 this revelation was officially added to the standard works of the Church and soon afterward designated as section 138 in the Doctrine and Covenants.
The opening decades of the twentieth century saw the Church move forward in several important ways. A period of prosperity enabled the Church to erect badly-needed chapels and temples and allowed the prophet to travel and bless the Saints in faraway lands. Priesthood and auxiliary classes, First Presidency doctrinal expositions, and President Smith’s significant 1918 revelation all helped expand the Saints’ understanding of certain gospel principles. Meanwhile, the Church met with characteristic vigor the challenges posed by radical scientific theories, revolutions in Mexico, and the horrors of a world war.

The suburbs are an arctic wasteland of emptiness and isolation for those who can’t drive.
Now, half a century later, suburban communities designed around the autombile are facing difficult questions.
What happens when many residents can no longer get behind the wheel?
Who will bear the costs of getting them to groceries, to doctors and to a host of other places?
“As they age, they need more services, and those suburbs are not designed for more services,” said McIlwain, of the Urban Land Institute.
An aging society is, by definition, a less car-centric society.


Reel story: Two New Zealanders cover three Indian states in an autorickshaw
Two New Zealanders travelled across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat in an autorickshaw. Now, a documentary film depicts their journeyUpdated: Dec 22, 2016 15:51 IST
Two New Zealanders travelled across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat in an autorickshaw. Now, a documentary film depicts their journey
From July to August 2016, two travel guides — Dayan Muntz and Ron Montgomery — from New Zealand decided to travel across three Indian states in an autorickshaw. It was planned in a way that they could avoid torrential rainfall. As part of their journey, they went from Uttar Pradesh to Rajasthan and Gujarat.
But during their journey, they faced waterlogging and flooding in Rajasthan. Yet, it was a minor hiccup on their three-week journey traversing 1,600km. Their adventures have been captured by director Chandrashekhar Parab in his upcoming travelogue, The Great Rickshaw Roadtrip.
In the trailer, released last month, we see a vibrant autorickshaw crossing puddles and bridges and racing across highways. On its heels is a support vehicle with a two-member filming crew and myriad equipment — Canon 1DC, DJI Osmo, Go Pro and DJI Phantom 3. Parab, who earlier edited Coke Studio at MTV and shot several travelogues, tags this particular experience an example of documentary making.
“I have directed multiple travel videos. But this one was about a bigger idea and changing perceptions. Foreigners often have preconceived notions about our country. With this trip, we wanted to highlight another perspective about the country,” says Parab. However, based on our conversations, the film still comes across as a stereotypical, exotic depiction of India — narrow roads, traffic jams and the Indian monsoon.
On the road
Looking back at the trip, Montgomery fondly remembers playing cricket with locals at Mavli in Rajasthan, and recalls a bunch of kids happy to help push the tuk-tuk through the narrow jammed lanes in Pushkar. “The kids were determined to teach us how to really play cricket. Dayan and I picked our players and had a great competition in front of The Taj Lake Palace (picturised in the film — The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, 2012). It was a close game, but my team won,” he says.
The highlight of the trip, Muntz confesses, was the sumptuous food spreads they feasted on throughout, especially parathas, paneer and papads. He jokes that they even dreamt of food.
Stuck in the rain
The challenging part of the journey, however, was not travelling in an autorickshaw, but driving during the monsoon. Often, the four would be crossing flooded roads, uncertain of where the potholes may be located. “One really exciting day was when we arrived at Jojawar in Rajasthan. It had been raining heavily and all the streets in the town were flooded. We were worried that we might get stuck and/or drown our tuk-tuk. We were driving uphill towards our hotel and literally the road was like a river. What was quite funny is that the people at the hotel were so pleased to see us, they acted like we had brought the rains with us and were celebrating the monsoon,” says Muntz.

Local residents are being invited to drop-in events next week to find out more about two key flood protection schemes and their associated road closures.
The events will be a chance for people to get more information and ask questions about the road-raising scheme in Muchelney and the project to install new culverts at Beer Wall on the A372. People can also discuss the road closures and diversions which will come into effect when work starts on 29 September.
The community drop-in events will be staffed by Somerset County Council; its contractor for these projects, Skanska; and the Environment Agency and take place as follows:
- Monday, September 22, 3pm – 7pm, Muchelney Church
- Tuesday, September 23, 3pm – 7pm, The Pound Inn, Aller
Both schemes require road closures for up to eleven weeks. Preparation works for a new Environment Agency flood scheme will begin this week causing some delays on Aller Drove. On 29 September, the Aller Drove will also be closed for up to six weeks for the completion of the scheme, meaning there will be an overlap with the closure of the nearby A372. The impacts on school transport have been identified and will be catered for.
Councillor John Osman, Chairman of the Flood Action Plan Leaders Implementation Group and Leader of Somerset County Council, said: “These schemes are key elements of the Flood Action Plan and we are trying our hardest to deliver them before the end of the year.
“You cannot do this kind of work without closing roads. We know that can be an inconvenience for residents and businesses, but I ask for people’s patience and appreciation of the long-term benefits that will follow the short-term disruption.”
All the schemes are part of the Somerset Levels and Moors Flood Action Plan being delivered by a range of agencies, coordinated by County Council. The plan will guide water and land management policies and investment on the Levels and Moors for the next 20 years.
Simon White, Business Director, Skanska, said: “Skanska is delighted to be delivering these schemes on behalf of Somerset County Council. As the Council’s highway maintenance contractor our teams were at the forefront of the flood response earlier this year and we know all too well the significant impact they had on our local communities.
“We are proud to be building these schemes and playing our part in improving the future management of the levels and moors. We look forward to working with the communities to try and minimise disruption as much as possible during the schemes.”
An unrelated resurfacing scheme on the A39 at Cossington will see the road closed between 7pm and 7am for five nights, starting on Monday 29 September. Temporary traffic signals will be in place during the day. An official diversion route will be advertised, taking into account the road closures at Beer Wall and Aller Drove.

Off the Checklist
And so, instead of getting back into Leviathan which I sorely need to do, I’m still busy cleaning up some other items off my design list.
Item number one of my “Things to Do List” is finished and shipped. Minsterpool is off to GCOM contest. Recently, I got an email detailing some information about the contest, indicating when each of the games will be played, and a short description of each game (there are 10).
Of interest is that one of the names of the designers sounded familiar. A quick google search for “Andrew Parks” did, indeed, pop up a BoardGameGeek entry for him, with a few published games. I’m assuming he’s also demonstrating his game as it does not have an official “demonstrator” tag attached to it.
Item two was tweaking PocketCiv a little bit. There’s a two-fold reason for this.
One, from a game design standpoint, There’s been enough comments on the game about it’s ability to beat up players in the early Eras. So I’ve tweaked and scaled a few of the Events down a bit early on.
The second issue is more of a marketing kind of thing. By updating the game, it gives me a really good excuse to keep the game “fresh” on BoardGameGeek, by bringing it up to the top of a forum list for a day or two. Like most things that go unheard, games on the Geek that don’t get much attention pretty much die a silent death. Conversely, every time PocketCiv gets a mention on a forum, it gets two or three more ratings. So, instead of just a blantant ad for the game, updating it periodically gives me a reason to re-introduce it.
Occasional updates also indicate a certain level of “customer support” I’m willing to give, as opposed to just letting complaints and comments rot away into the ether. I hoping that this should make the geeks who are on the fence about the game have a little more interest in trying it out.
And as item 2.5, I’m also experimenting with additional scenarios with PocketCiv based on a few comments. Also, I can’t say that I’m not influenced at least a little bit by my recent Nintendo DS games I’ve been playing.
I’ll probably go in depth a little more on this project at some point. But in general, it works like this: unlike the first 10 scenarios, which were just a random collection of various setups and goals, this next set will follow a story line, building a mythology as the scenarios are played out. This is pretty much following the videogame model, where every little mode plays similarly, but advances an overall story. This makes the game somewhat more compelling, as the “story mode” pushes you along in the world. Unraveling hints about a greater world, and gives it a little “just one more page” addiction. Notably, this is a moderately small experiment for a board game format (even though I believe it has to have been done before; probably at the very least HeroQuest did something similar). And so, as the story progresses, new rules are added and abilities are learned.
And, oh yeah, I’m adding magic to the mix using some new mechanics. So while I could just easily make the Advance Tree larger, or add a few new resource types (the easiest way to expand the rules), I am actively expanding the world instead, and trying out a different way to drive a solitaire game.
Fun stuff to play with. Until I get annoyed.

Cinescape breaks the news that DreamWorks Pictures may be nearing a deal to land the feature film rights for G.I. Joe. According to the site, Hasbro, which makes the line of G.I. Joe toys, "has closed or is very close to closing a deal with none other than DreamWorks Pictures for a Joe movie." Another source advised Cinescape that "a new deal with a Hollywood company was imminent."
The screen rights for G.I. Joe had previously been held by Mortal Kombat producer Lawrence Kasanoff (under his Threshold Entertainment banner) and Warner Brothers but, as Cinescape reminds us, that's "old news."
G.I. Joe was a popular doll for years before being turned into a successful line of toys and Marvel comic books, as well as animated TV series, during the 1980s. The Marvel characters were recently revitalized by Image Comics. For more info, check out this fan site.
